Marcus A. Rowden, Chairman
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Washington, D. C. 20515
The Subcommittee has received suggestions that it conduct hearings on the matter of emergency planning for situations in which radioactive materials might be released from nuclear power plants. In order that we might determine the need for such hearings, I would appreciate your providing by November 15 the following information:
1. A statement of NRC policy with regard
to emergency planning that must be undertaken
prior to issuance of a nuclear power plant
operating license. (This statement should
indicate the nature of any agreements that
the facility operator is required to establish
with state and local authorities prior to
issuance of an operating license. Please
furnish copies of all such agreements.)
2. A specification of criteria by which
the NRC judges the adequacy of emergency
plans for situations in which radioactive
materials might escape from a power reactor
site.
3. A statement of NRC policy with regard
to testing of emergency plans for power
reactors, and the extent to which such
testing is monitored by NRC officials.
(Please provide copies of all reports on
testing of emergency plans.)
