JUN 0 7.1989 Ms. Janet Dombrowski 144 Falcon. Crest Way Manchester, New Hampshire 03104

Dear Ms. Dombrowski:

Your letter of May 18, 1989 suggesting methods for converting t'1e Seabrook facility and producing " pollution free power" has been referre6 to me for response.

The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission is strictly involved in regulating power. produced by atomic fission -- nuclear power. Congress has not given us authority to evaluate alternative energy sources. Other Federal j agencies may have this authority. Forinstance,theDepartmentofEnergy(DOE) is responsible for research programs associated with~ alternative energy sources.

I suggest that you may want. to contact the DOE for additional information.

Sincerely,

@lM %

Bruce A. Boger, Assistant Director for Region I Reactors Division of Reactor Projects I/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
