The Honorable Dixy Lee Ray
Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission


Dear Dr. Ray:

     We have surveyed the manpower needs of the nuclear power industry
and the activities of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and other
Federal agencies to help meet those needs. AEC and other Federal
agencies have taken steps and are planning additional measures to
insure an adequate supply of trained manpower to carry out nuclear
power energy activities. Therefore, we do not plan any further work
in this area at this time; however, we would like to bring the results
of our survey to your attention, with the view that they might help
you plan further actions in the manpower area.


     Because
the safe and
powerplants,


the availability of trained manpower is important to
timely design, construction, and operation of nuclear
we were interested in


     --whether sufficient trained manpower was and would be
       available to support the growing number of nuclear
       plants becoming operable and being constructed and
       planned,

     --the effects any shortages of manpower might have on
       nuclear powerplant construction schedules, and

     --the efforts of AEC and other Federal agencies to
       (1) assess the manpower needs of the nuclear power
       industry and (2) help insure the availability of a
       continuing supply of qualified manpower.

     We made our survey at AEC Headquarters in Germantown and Bethesda,
Maryland, and at AEC's Oak Ridge Operations Office and the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. We also held discussions
with officials of the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) and the
Department of Labor.
