Ciliatf theSc?efety 6 hueting & Service BEFORE TIIE ATOMIC SAFETY & LICENSING BOARD Branch Y V 1-In the Matter of *

LOUISIANA POWER & LIGIIT COMPANY Docket No. 50-382 (Waterford Steam Electric Station ,

Unit 3)

JOINT INTERVENORS ANSWERS TO NRC STAFF SUPPLEMENTAL INTERROGATORIES Now before the Atomic Safety & Licensing Board comes, Joint Intervenors, Oystershell Alliance, Inc. and Save Our Wetlands, Ille., and give answer to the Commission's Staff Supplemental Interrogatories, dated February 19,1980, as foHows:

25.1 Any non-zero amount of fuel melting requires remedial action.

Uranium oxide fuel melts at 5200 F, an unacceptable temperature.

27.2 " Nuclear Emergency" means any radiological incident that requires utility employees or the general public to take protective action.

27.3 Radiation monitors that will not go off scale or ' pegged' during a Class Nine accident. This problem is discussed in Section 2.1.8.6 of

" Discussion of Lessons Learned Short Term Requirements."

27.4 Regulatory rules require " adequate" radiation monitoring for a 10 mile radius plume pathway and a 50 mile ingestion pathway. Refer to NUREG-0396, December,1978. Joint intervenors believe these figures will be scaled upward.

29.5 "NRC mandated TMI-based changes" are still being promulgated as new information is digested. The main references for this are:

(1) NUREG-0578 f

i

(2) NUREG-0585 (3) " Discussion of " Lessons Learned Short Term Requirements" (4) Nuclear Regulatory Commission SpecialInquiry Group (5) Report of the President's Commission on The Accident at Three Mile Island.

Joint Intervenors believe a definitive listing of "NRC mandated TMI-based changes"is premature.

Respectfully Submitted, GILLESPIE & JONES l
