Subject:
Draft Report - Beyond Defense-In-Depth:
Cost and Funding of State and Local Government Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Commercial Nuclear Power Stations, NUREG-0553, March 30th. 1979
Dear Sir:
I would like to make the following comments on the contents of this report.
pg. I-1 $5 million for 10 Office of State programs -
This money could be better spent at the State government level.
We do not need any additional Federal controls.
License fee to cover costs - this concept has merit.
We feel tLat the fee needs to be paid directly to the County wherein the plant is located.
I t-is a well known fact in government that when monies are paid to a second party, by the time it reaches its intended destination, there is very little left.
pg 11 Florida viewing themselves as ade-quately equipped.
This is not necessarily true.
Up to date instrumentation is badly needed.
pg II Paragraph 3. -
Overflight photos of the site are available.
This is the first intor-mation received that there are such photographs.
S13001
"[ L'09 0 5 03CC'
Pg. 2 These photos and all other information such as the quarterly environmental surveillance infor-mation should be given to the local Disaster Preparednecs agency for their use in planning.
pg. II paragraph 2. - Independent capability -
Public confidence is worth the cost.
These are the people who are
" paying the freight", and are entitled to know the facts.
Case in point - The Three Mile Island fiasco.
If the true facts had be.en* released by the proper people, it would not have received the adverse publicity resulting in lack of confidence in that nuclear power facility, state and local government officials, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission people, pg. II Land Use Planning-Change future and present zoning to inhibit population growth within the ten mile EPZ.
Site should be limited to those areas of state w'aere this is possible.
At present sites the utility to buy up the surrounding area encompassing the ten mile EPZ.
In the case of plants such as St. Lucie I and II which is on the ocean and river, turn all this into a recreational area.
COMMENTS:
There is an immediate need for the NRC to keep in closer touch with the local jurisdictions on all matters concerning a nuclear power plant in the County.
There are presently ten DCPA regions in the country.
If there is a need for NRC personnel as consultants, why not have one at each of these installations which are already in place and thereby cutting cost.

pg. 3 Funding is the most important factor for County governments.
In order to properly administer the various pe.anning and upgrac'ing of present planning which have been put into being by the NRC,
..le NRC should resolve the source of the funding.
Respectfully,
/
