The NRC docketed your letters as petition for rulemaking PRM-50-97, PRM-50-98, and PRM-50-99, respectively.
- In PRM-50-97, you requested that the NRC institute a rulemaking proceeding applicable to nuclear facilities licensed under 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52 and other applicable regulations to require emergency preparedness (EP) enhancements for prolonged station blackouts (SBO) in the areas of (1) communications ability, (2)
