i Cat 0 LTALH10F PEN:5YLVA!EA'S RESPONSE IN SUPPORT OF AIGRY TtCIITTION VII On January 27, 1981, the Anti-lbclear Group Representing York filed Contention VII relating to the adequacy of federal energency plamirg to deal with a radiological e::ergency at M-1.
The filing of this new centention is a&.:ittedly extrenely late. Mcaver, the Cocurxuealth urges de Board to aMt de contention in light of the new information cited by A!ERY (Ibclear Safety Oversite Coccittee Report) and due to the extreme L:portance of the subject matter.
21s is by no means the first time the Cocmccwealth has indicated its concern regarding this issue. Se "Cvuuusealth of Pemsylvania's Report en Positions Form 1nted Based On Information Available As Of July 25, 1980" stated, at pp. 8-9, that:
.e Pennsylvania is concerned that the record will be 8.
4 incocplete unless the NRC staff presents evidence f p
e, 8eb (( G,
to demonstrate that federal energency response i
capabilities have been ireroved since the M -2 l =
ac'cident. This is not a ' gen d e conern but one 4!.
9 C
Sf dich was sH h eed by specific federal actions q
A,&
during the M -2 accident. For exa:mle, throughout 4 s D
the accident NRC offiMah experienced difficulty
/
b in receiving and cc::ramicating accurate information to and fract the Licensee and the appropriate state agencies. As a result, a nt=ber of incorrect and conflictinz reMeions were received by state officials. This confusion may be cct:mcunded by the con &.dng presence at the site of IEC officials monitoring M -2 cleanup cperations. The opinions 9 509 S*/
G 810217a y
of dess on-sita officials :ay conflict with inferration or instructions received from 1;RC head carters. No dm
.ts or plans have been produced to da:onstrate that such potential conflicts will be corrected prior to restart and to analyze tinether or how these changes will affect de state's emergency resconse, Pennsylvania expects that federal witnesses and other e',idence will be presented to prove dat de 'Dil-2 cishaps will not be repeated at a potential 'DtI-l accident.
In addition, de "Cocromealth of Pennsylvania's First Set of Interrogatories to NRC Staff," dated July 28,1980 (ccpy attached), deale exclusively with the adequacy of the federal energency plannig effort.
In fact, the l
cm,nmeald is seced.at disturbed at de lack of Staff response to the above quoted cc.cern in the rm,rermal6's July Position W. 2e Staff has indicated no intention to provide testirony on this issue absent a specific contention. Berefore, de Cemv.ali conelt*s that its cencerns will not be adecuately addressed absent the admission of RW VII.
Se Cv u malth furder coners in RW's posidon, along with de reasons stated derefor, dat MERY VII is within de scope of de Cact:ission's August 9,1979 Crder and rotice of hearing.
It is notable that CHvan Knearne, Wile voting to deny the.aMasibility of psychological stress contentions, wrote:
"I certainly endorse the
(
desirability of disseminating acerate information and, to the extent the NRC can assist, in assuring such info: ration is ' trusted' " Metrecolitan l
Felison Co., (2ree File Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1), CLI-80-39, l
l Decenber 5,1980 (Separate Views of Chairran Ahearne at 1). Inclicit in
(
this goal is de ability of the NRC to respond to an emergency in a i
manner that provides an efficient and acerate assessment of de accident i
j sire.ation, along with an appropriate mechanism for disse:::inating this innrration to the a g vg iate response organizations in the federal l

governcent and, perhaps : ore i=portantly, to the news Mia.
This goal

eluded de NRC during the M-2 accident.
In su::x:nry, the Cococnwealth has an 1:portant interest in asstuiy, that all links in de energency pla: ming chain will function efficiently E.

in de event of an accident at M-1.
Se energency planning efforts of the federal govem:nent dese:ve no less sc utiny dan those of the E
