In the Matter of South Carolina Electric & Gas Company Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit I l
l Docket No. 50-395
Dear Mr. Cosgrove:
Per our telephone discussion, the Virgil C. Sumer operating license appli-cation is among those plants nearing trial identified in Ed Christenbury's March 4,1981 letter to you in which emergency plaaning is an issue and for which FEMA assistance will be necessary.
The relevant contention in that proceeding asserts that the applicant has made inadequate preparations to implement its emergency plan in those areas where the assistance and cooperation of state and local agencies are required.
The Summer licensing hearing is scheduled to be held from June 22 -
July 2,1981 in Columbia, South Carolina.
Written testimony must be filed by May 28.
I understand that an emergency planning exercise is scheduled for early May. As we discussed, I believe that either formal FEMA findings on the adequacy of, and ability to implement, the state and local emergency plans (per 10 C.F.R. 550.47) are necessary to complement the Staff testimony or some written FEMA report on the May emergency exercise.
Optimally, such findings or report should be submitted to the Licensing Board, along with all staff testimony, on May 28.
It should, however, be filed as early as possible thereafter but before the close of the record (presently July 2).
As I understand from our conversation FEMA expects to complete its written report of the May emergency exercise within thirty days thereafter.
Pre-paration of such report in this time frame seems generally compa.tible with present hearing plans.
It is entirely likely that no other written submission will be needed from FEMA regarding the Summer emergency planning contention.
It may or may not be necessary to have a person from FEMA testify orally at the hearing though I believe someone should plan on being available for such purpose.
As we discussed, I will make every effort to minimize FEMA involvement in the hearing process to the extent possible.
I have enclosed 810 3 2 0 0'd5 7-g
't s-copies of written interrogatories propounded by the intervenors upon the applicant in this case and the latter's responses to them.
I look forward to working with you and appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely.
. Ww Q4 l Steven C. Goldberg Counsel for NRC Staff
