January 2, 1987 CHAIRMAN The Honorable Gary Hart Subcomittee on Nuclear Regulation Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Washington, D.C.

20515

Dear Senator Hart:

Thank you for your letter of December 22, 1986, concerning emergency planning for nuclear power plants. A copy of your letter has been distributed to each Commissioner.

The resolution of offsite emergency planning issues has been raised in several licensing proceedings and may come before the Commission as part of the adjudicatory process. Accordingly, I regret that no more specific response to these issues can be provided at this time. The Commission's licensing decisions for nuclear reactors are made in on-the-record adjudications with due respect paid to the rights of all the parties to the proceeding.

If these issues should come before the Commission, the Commission will carefully consider all the arguments of the parties before issuing a decision.

It is essential to the integrity of the process that the Commission not coment on such matters without first hearing from the parties and that the Commission issue its decision on the adjudicatory record.

I appreciate receiving your views and assure you that consideration of the matters you identified will conform with the Commission's understanding of the requirements imposed on the NRC through the Atomic Energy Act and other applicable federal laws.

Sincerely, Mo V.

k, Lando W. Zec Jr.
