re: Agreement State - NRC relationship -Reply

[Charles Willis <CAW@nrc.gov>]

There may be justification for the "agreement states should pay" arguement, but I do not
believe the game is worth the candle.  The NRC support to agreement states is such a small
part of the budget that making the states pay would not help anyone else very much. 
Furthermore, any attempt to impose such charges would pose politically unacceptable
problems.  

Of course, there is also the "unfunded mandates" issue.  If the NRC is to maintain a measure
of consistancy in the states, it must provide something in return.
