OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER l

MEMORANDUM FOR:

Samuel J.

Chilk Secretary Ob FROM:

James R.

Curtiss

SUBJECT:

CANADIAN CANDU-3 DESIGN CERTIFICATION (SECY-89-350; COMKR-89-5)

I have the following views on the subject initiatives:

i l

1)

With respect to FY 1990 resources, I endorse the staff's plan to budget one FTE for the CANDU-3 review in FY 1990.

2)

I endorse the staff's proposed plan to process a CANDU-3 application, as set forth in SECY-89-350, subject to the j

availability of resources.

3)

With respect to resources for FY 1991 and beyond, while I l

concur in the action taken by the Commission to eliminate funding and resources at this time from our FY 1991 budget request for review of the CANDU-3 design, if the Canadian Government should come forward with the funds necessary to support this review, I think we should proceed in accordance l

with the plan set forth in SECY-89-350.

4)

I would recommend that the Office of General Counsel solicit the views of the U.S. Trade Representative on the implications of the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement for our consideration of this matter.

5)

I would direct the staff to evaluate the question of whether a prototype will be required for the CANDU-3 design and submit that evaluation to the Commission for our consideration.

~

6)

I would direct the staff to apprise the Commission of any expression of interest on the part of potential domestic customers for an NRC-certified CANDU-3 design.

7)

I agree to the release of SECY-89-350.
