Dear Dr. Okrent:
This is in response to your letter dated May 10, 1986.
We appreciate your thoughtful comments regarding the Indian Point Special Proceeding, especially the points you raised concerning the consideration of population density and containment performance.
These two issues were certainly of major j
importance for consideration in the proceeding.
As you may recall, the Commission said in its letter to you of Februar 27, 1986 that, "... we do recognize that the [ Indian Point] yplant is in an area of relatively high population density and, as a consequence, warrants continuing effort to assure its safe operation."
Also the Commission recently approved a safety goal policy which included for examination, a performance guideline of less than one chance in a million per reactor year of having a large radioactive release.
Examination of this guideline over the spectrum of U.S. nuclear plants, including Indian Point, should identify any major problems which require corrective action.
Nonetheless, at this point in time the Commission continues to believe that the decisions and conclusions reached in the Indian Point proceeding were the result of a responsible evaluation of the facts presented.
As such, we remain assured that the findings made.in the proceeding were well founded.
Commissioner Asselstine adds that he continues to believe that your concerns are right on the mark.
Sincerely, S b{e..W 4 Lv~ 1'5 V jt; i
