Dear Mr. Weiss:
Thank you for your recent letters to Chairman Jackson and the Commissioners and Dr. William D. Travers expressing concern about the Millstone nuclear power plants which have been referred to me for response. In your letters you raised concerns about Millstone and the continued lack of an emergency management plan for Eastern Long Island. As noted in my previous letters proposals have been made to both increase and decrease the 10-mile emergency planning zone (EPZ) distance since this policy was established following the accident at Three Mile Island in 1979. After consideration of these proposals and their supporting document and rationale, the Commission has consistently concluded that an EPZ of about 10 miles in radius provides an acceptable planning basis for emergency respmse.
The Commission has given the NRC staff directions in response to requests to expand the 10-mile EPZ (as discussed in the February 16,1990, Federal Reaister notice (55.FR 5603) denying a petition for rulemaking) and in a decision regarding emergency planning in support of issuance of the operating license for Shoreham Nuclear Power Station (26 NRC 383 (1987),
CLl-87-12). These references are available through the NRC Public Document Room, e-mail "PDR@nrc. gov," or 1-800-397-4209. There is a minimal charge of $0.08 per page of printed material. The Federal Reaister notice is 12 pages and the CLI-87-12 is 17 pages.
Northeast Utilities is assisting each of the five east end towns of Long Island and Suffolk Counties with creating a coordinated emergency plan and establishing an open line of communication to ensure that Eastern Long Island is considered when decisions are made regarding the Millstone plants. I encourage the communities involved to continue the ongoing dialogue with Northeast Utilities, as well as appropriate state and county officials, to develop the plans they believe are needed.
Again, I assure you that the NRC continues to monitor the performance of Millstone to ensure that public health and safety are adequately protected. The NRC is committed to the level of regulatory oversight needed to carry out this mandate. I appreciate your bringing your concerns to the attention of the NRC.
