New FY 1980 efforts: (1) Manpower 6 (a) Personnel Authorize 8 additional employees, beginning October 1,1979, to carry on State emergency response plan concurrence and testing program, as follows: I. _ Assign To Professional Clerical Total SP 2 1 3* 1 ea. to Regions 5 0 5 TOTAL 7 1 8 This increment would be in addition to the one full-time i emergency preparedness position approved by the Commission for FY 1980. This professional would devote full-time to emergency response planning related to transportation of radioactive materials. 25 114 ^

'. (b) Personnel Compensation and Benefits: (2) Travel: $15,000 (3) Administrative Support: None (4) Program Support: Seek Commission approval of FY 1980 supplemental budget request for: (a) Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability (ARAC) $ 100,000 I There now exists a radiological / meteorological assessment system known as ARAC (Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability) developed by Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. NRR and SP have supported continuing studies of the system with respect to use by licensees and State and local governments. The system looks extremely prom-ising but so far NRC has not supported it to the extent that we think is necessary. The system in place would go a long way to providing imme-diate automatic accident assessments in the environs of a nuclear facility. In a preliminary submission to the Controller, 5P tagged this kind of a program for consideration as an item in the FY 1931 budget. It now seems desirable to move this up for consideration in a supplementary bud-get request for FY 1980 in the amount of $100,000. NRR may also have an interest in this from the i point of view of licensees. (b) Off-site Emergency Instrumentation Guidance for State and Local Governments $ 135,000 In 1978, SP requested Idaho Operations Office of DOE to submit a proposal for the development of emergency instrumentation guidance for State and local governments in assessing accidents involving nuclear facilities. Under such a contract, we would receive guidance dccuments which would allow State and local government personnel to quickly assess the off-site effects of a large-scale release from a nuclear facility. Such guidance currently does not exist. On March 22, 1979, 6 Idaho submitted its 189 to us: the cost for FY 1980 would be $180,000, of which we already have set aside $45,000 in FY 1980. The Commission [ should consider a supplemental request in the amount of $135,000 to enable this work to ge forward inrediately. 2} ))5 ..~

- (c) Grants to State and Local Governments $ 500,000 In a previous informal notification to the Controller, SP suggested a line item for FY 1981 in the amount of $500,000 for grants to State and local governments to upgrade their emergency response capabilities (equipment, testing, p!an development, etc.). TSis item should now be considered as a logical candidate for a supplemental for Fi 1980. I TOTAL PROGRAM SUPPORT $ 735,000 i (5) Equipment Seek Commission approval of FY 1980 supplemental budget request for: (a) Mobile Field Testing Station 250,000 i l The Mobile Field Testing Station would be a i vehicle which could generate scenarios for testing State and local plans. A feasibility study is now underway at Battelle Pacific florthwest Laburatories which will give us a precise reading on the costs and capability of such a vehicle. It will also generate specifications for such a vehicle. Our estimate is $250,000 which SP submitted as a budget item for FY 1981. 3 That request was rejected during the course of i the FY 1980 budget review. SP thinks that this iten should now be submitted as a supplemental for FY 1980. It should also be pointed out that such a vehicle could serve as an NRC on-site command center in the event of a nuclear emergency. (b) Radiciodine Monitoring Devices $ 200,000 We know from experience with Three Mile Island that there are no inexpensive reliable airbor:a radiciodine monitoring devices available to Federal, State and local governments. NRC paid for the development of such a device by the Brook-i haven National Laboratory. It is now patent pend-ing. The Brookhaven model is being independently evaluated by the Idaho fiational Engineering Lab-oratory. The four prototype devi we ed, a 25 116

extensively by radiological monitoring teams at Three Mile Island. Idaho's conclusions are expected shortly. If they are favorable, SP proposes to manufacture about 1000 of these devices for Federal, State and local emergency teams. SP requested $200,000 for this purpose 8 in its FY 1980 budget and this was turned down, with the notation that it might be considered as "an add-on." SP thinks that the Commission should now approve this item as a supplemental request. TOTAL EQUIPMENT $ 450,000 f
