INTRODUCTION l

l l Taken literally, Applicants' Interrogatories request the l

Commonwealth to file its detailed contentions and direct testimony on the subjects of emergency planning and TMI-2 issues. To the extent the Interrogatories requc et this level of detail or finality the Commonwealth objects thereto on the grounds that they constitute an impermissille attempt to i circumvent the schedule established by the Board for the filing l

of contentions and pre-filed testimony. The Commonwealth also l objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they would require l

the Commonwealth to supplement the answers provided herein, since that could well necessitate daily revisions between the date hereof and the filing of direct testimony.  %$

Without waiving its objtations as outlined above or in any

'way limiting its right to add to, delete from, or modify the I issues or facts identified below when filing its detailed contentions and prg-filed testimony, the Commonwealth hereby provides answers to the Applicants' interrogatories which l reflect the state of its thinking as of the date of this writing.

INTERROGATORIES

1. Question: Please state in detail each respect in which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts contends that the l Applicants' preliminary plans for coping with emergencies fails

[ sic.] to comply with the requirement of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section II.

Answer: The Commonwealth contends that the Applicants have not properly accounted for local emergency response needs and capabilities in drawing boundaries for the plume exposure l pathway and ingestion pathway Emergency Planning Zones for Pilgrim II, as required by 10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix E. The Commonwealth further contends that the Applicants' PSAR fails to comply with the requirement of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E that it "contain sufficient information to ensure the l

l compatibility of proposed emergency plans for both onsite areas and the EPZs, with facility design features, site layout and site location . . . " because there is therein insufficient evidence of the feasibility of protective action in the event of a PWR-1 to PWR-7 accidental release, or the equivalent thereof, at Pilgrim II.

I

! As regards the specific items required - by 10 CFR 50,

Appendix E,Section II to be included in the PSAR, the Commonwealth contends that the Applicants have failed to describe "how the public is-to be notified" of the need to take protective action or to provide "[a] preliminary analysis that projects the time and means to be employed in the notification of state and local governments and the public in the event of an emergency." The Applicants have also failed to comply with the requirement of Appendix E Section II regarding the calculation of evacuation times, because they have limited such calculations to an area, the size and shape of which were determined without reference to local emergency response needs and capabilities.

Finally, the Commonwealth contends that the PSAR fails to provide for timely and adequate notification of off-site authorities in the event of an emergency.

2. Question: Please identify each fact upon which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts relies in support of its answer to interrogatory number 1. Please identify each document, and the particular parts thereof, of which the Commonwealth is aware which supports-each fact so identified in this interrogatory. Please further indicate each such document which the Commonwealth intends to offer in evidence in this proceeding. For the purpose of this interrogatory, please utilize the same definition of the word " document" as provided in the Commonwealth's interrogatories to Boston Edison company.

l Answer:

Size of EPZ's In support of its contention that the Applicants have not l

l properly accounted for local emergency response needs and l capabilities in drawing boundaries for the Pilgri5 II EPZ's, the Commonwealth relies on the fact that the Applicants have failed to consider or account for the effect on local emergency response needs and capabilities of each of the following factors:

a. The large seascnal and transient populations on
Cape Cod during the summer months;
b. The limited road network on Cape Cod;
c. The limited access routes from Cape Cod to the mainland and the fact that those routes feed into the l

evacuation network for the population within 10 miles of Pilgrim II; '

d. Meteorological conditions specific to the Pilgrim area; I e. The proximity of the proposed plant to Cape Cod Bay and the groundwater conditions on-site, with their resulting implications for travel of radiation through a liquid pathway; l f. Pilgrim II fission product inventory; l
g. Pilgrim II fuel burn-up;
h. The number, location, and capacity of local l sheltering facilities and the degree of protection l from radiation afforded thereby;
i. The' time of year of accidental release from Pilgrim II; and
j. The heightened sensitivity to radiation (over that of the average healthy adult male) of the large number of children and pregnant women who are present on Cape Cod during the summer months.

i

As of this writing, the Commonwealth knows of the following documents which support the fact cited above:

a. Pilgrim II PSAR, Amendments 40 and 41

)

b. Response of Boston Edison Company, et al. to Commonwealth of Massachusetts' First Set of Interrogatories to Boston Edison Company Relative to Emergency Planning, [ hereinafter, " Answers to Interrogatories"] pages 2-6, 17-19, and 79.

These documents already form part of the official record of this proceeding and, therefore, need not be offered into evidence by the Commonwealth.

Feasibiltiy of Protection Action In support of its contention that the PSAR contains insufficient avidence of the feasibility of protective action 3

in the event of a PWR-1 to PWR-7 accidental release at Pilgrim II, the Commonwealth relies on the following facts:

a. The PSAR contains no evidence of plant-rpecific probabilities of PWR-1 to PWR-7 releases.
b. The P5TR contains no evidence of site-specific consequences in the event of PWR-1 to PWR-7 releases.
c. WASH-1400 provides no evidence of accident consequences where evacuation is restricted to a ten-mile radius,
d. WASH-1400 provides no evidence of the consequences resulting from releases through liquid pathways in the event of a reactor meltdown accident.

l

. l

e. The PSAR contains no evidence that WASH-1400's assumptions regarding medical treatment are applicable to Pilgrim II.
f. There is a large degree of uncertainty associated with WASH-1400's estimates of accident probabilities.

l f g. The assumptions upon which WASH-1400's estimates of accident probabilities and consequences are based are inconsistent with each of'the following factors:

l (1) Pilgrim II fission product inventory; l (2) Pilgrim II fuel burn-up; (3) The heightened sensitivity to radiation (over that of the average healthy l adult male) of the large number of children l

and pregnant women who are in the Pilgrim area curing the summer months; (4) The population density in the area of the Pilgrim site as reflected by the Applicants' own filinas in this proceeding; (5) Meteorological conditions specific to the Pilgrim site,

h. The PSAR contains insufficient information to assure that the assumptions upon which WASH-1400's estimates are based are consistent with the following factors:

(1) The degree of protection afforded by sheltering in the event of an accident at l Pilgrim II.

(2) Time-of-year dependent accident consequences at Pilgrim II.

i. Relocation centers have been located within twenty miles of the site.
j. The PSAR does not provide for direct lines of communication, and appropriate back-up, with the Secretary of DPH or the Governor during that period of time before those officials arrive at the Civil Defense Agency Headquarters EOC.
k. The evacuation time estimates submitted by the o Applicanta have been limited to a geographical area i determined without reference t'o local emergency response Eneeds and capabili ties.
1. The evacuation ' time estimates submitted by the l npplicants fail to:

i 4

, (1) Account for the full public transportation-dependent population; (2) Account for the effect on

' evacuation times of the bottlenecks at the Sagamore and Bourne rotaries; (3) Account for population growth over the life of the plant; (4) Account for the time required to evacuate special institutions; a

(5) Account for

] preparation / mobilization time; i

) (6) Account for adverse summer j weather conditions; l (7) Account for the effect on evacuation times of ordered or

spontaneous evacuation from Cape Cod l by means of the Sagamore and/or Bourne

, Bridgen.

4 (8) Account for traffic already within ten miles of the plant at the commencement of the evacuation period; (9) Account for. work-to-home travel prior to evacuation; (10) Account for the effect of all reasonably forseeable external events; (11) Use realistic assumptions as to

1. the knowledge available to evacuees when choosing evacuation-routes; 1

(12) Properly estimate the 1980 population of the Toiin of Plymouth; (13) Account for non-resident employees.

m. The evacuation time estimates prepared by Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories fail to:

l (1) Account for ordered or spontancous evacuation f rom Cape Cod via the Sagamore and/or Bourne Bridges; I

(2) Account for the public transportation-dependent population; l

l (3) Account for adverse weather l conditions; l

l (4) Account for work-to-home travel prior to evacuation; (5) Account for traffic already within ten miles of the plant at the commencement l of the evacuation period; (6) Use rea18stic free flow rate assumptions; (7) Use realistic pre-planned evacuation routes or routes consistent with those contained in actual plans; (8) Account for the time required to evacuate special facilities; ,

(9) Account for non-resident employees; (10) Use assumptions consistent with those employed by HMM Associates, Inc.;

, (11) Account for population growth over l the life of the plant; (12) Account for reasonaoly forseeable external evants; (13) Demonstrate any basis for the distribution of preparation times assumed or percentages of the population assigned to each time.

(14) Properly estimate the 1980 population of the Town of Plymouth,

n. The results of the Applicants' and Staff's evacuation time studies are inconsistent.
o. There is ir.aufficient evidence of the availability and adegoacy of local sheltering facilities; and
p. There are no established quantitative or qualitative standards by which feasibility can be judged.

The Commonwealth has not yet determined which, if any, of the above documents it will offer into evidence.

NOTIFICATION The Commonwealth relies on the following f acts in stipport of its contentions regarding notification of off-site authorities and the public:

a. The PSAP soes not provide for direct lines of communication, with appropriate back-up, with the Secretary of DPH or the Governor during the time before those officials arrive at the Civil Defense Agency Headquarters EOC.

l l b. The PSAR does not describe the notification I system to be employed to notify the public of the need for protective action.

l c. The PSAR contains no letters of agreement i providing for " prompt" (15 minute) protective action decision-making on a 24-hour basis by off-site agencies.

d. The PSAR does not provide, as required by NUREG-0654, for notification of off-site authorities within 15 minutes of the occurrence of an Unusual Event.
e. The PSAR does not call for provision of
sufficient information to off-site authorities upon

! the occurrence of an Unusual Event to assure that the purposes of such notification, as set forth in NUREG-0654, will be satisfied.

l l l E. The P3AR, through its provisions for "First-line" and "Second-line" notification, does not

. assure that all off-site authorities responsible for j implementing protective measures will be notified l within fifteen minutes of the occurrence of an l emergency, as required by NUREG-0654.

The Commonwealth currently knows that the following i

documents support the facts cited above:

a. PSAR, Amendments 40 and 41; Answers to Interrogatories, p. 67.
b. PSAR, Amendments 40 and 41.
c. PSAR, Amendments 40 and 41.

e. NUREG-0654; PSAR Amendments 40 and 41.
f. NUREG-0654; PSAR Amendments 40 and 41.

The Commonwealth will request the Board to take administrative notice of NUREG-0654.

3. Question: Please state in detail each respect in which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts contends that the Applicants either fail to address or inadequately address the provisions of NUREG-0718, Revision 1, in their application for i

a construction permit, including the PSAR and amendments I

thereto.

Answer: The Commonwealth contends that the Applicants have failed to address the following provisions of NUREG-0718, Rev. 1, in their PSAR and amendments thereto: (Item Nos. taken f rom NUREG-0718, Rev.1, Appendix B) i

a. Item !.0.1. Applicants have failed to provide preliminary control room. design information at a level consistent with that normally required at the construction permit stage of review. Applicants have also failed to specify the design concept selected and the supporting design bases and criteria or to demonstrate that the design concept is technically feasible and within the state of the art or.that there exists reasonable assurance that the requirements will be implemented properly prior to the issuance of an operating license,
b. Item I.D.2. Applicants have failed to describe how they intend to meet the Staff criteria contained in NUREG-0696 for a plant safety parameter display console, to provide preliminary design information at a level

k. Item II.F.1. Applicants have failed to provide for preliminary design information at a level consistent with that normally required at the construction permit stage of review, to specify their design concept and supporting design bases and criteria, or to demonstrate that the design concept is feasible and within l

the state of the art, or that there exists reasonable assurance that the requirements will be implemented properly prior to the issuance of the operating license. Applicants have also failed to provide for continuous sampling of l

radioactive iodines and particulates in gaseous effluents from all potential accident release points, and for onsite capability to analyze and measure these samples.

l i. Item II.F.2 Applicants have failed to

! provide preliminary design information at a l

level consistent with that normally required at l the construction permit stage of review with

! respect to the design of their system for

! monitoring reactor vessel water level, nor have

4. Question: Please identify each fact upon which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts relies in support of its answer to interrogatory number 3. Please identify each document, and the particular parts thereof, of which the Commonwealth is aware which supports each fact so identified in this interrogatory. Please further indicate each such document which the Commonwealth intends to offer in evidence in this proceeding. For the purpose of this interrogatory, please utilize the same definiti,on of the word " document" as provided in the Commonwealth's interrogatories to Boston Edison Company.

Answer: The Commonwealth -urrently relies on the l inforaation contained in the Applicants' PSAR, Amendments 42 and 43 in support of its answer to Interrogatory 3 above, which 1

I

Amendments are already part of the record in this proceeding.

For its contention that Applicants have failed to comply with Item II.B.8, Applicants also rely on the document referenced in SER Supp. No. 6, at page 20, and characterized as a "PRA program outline."

5. Question: For each item contained under the heading "TMI-2 Related Requirements" in the Staff's Supplement No. 6 to the Safety Evaluation Report for Pilgrim Unit 2 (which items are located oa pages 4-51 of that document) please state whether the Commonwealth agrees with the Staff's con. . 'Fion.

If the Commonwealth disagrees with a particular item in any res pec t , please state, in detail, all reasons for such l disagreement. If the Commonwealth takes no position or neither f agrees nor disagrees with a particular item, please state what efforts the Commonwealth has undertaken or intends to under*ake between now and the date of hearing to establish a position as to such item.

Answcr: This question is repetitive of question 3. SER

Supplement No. 6 simply quotes, under the heading "TMI-2 Related Requirements" the requirements of NUREG-0718, Rev.1, and then states the Staff's view as to whether such requirements are satisfied by PSAR Amendments 42 and 43.

Therefore, the Commonwealth's answer to question 3, which outlines the respects in which it currently believes the PSAR fails to comply with N0aEG-0718, Rev. 1, answers this question j l

as well. The Commonwealth obviously disagrecs at this point in time with the Staff's conclusions that there has been

compliance with the Items identified in answer to interrogatory 3 above. Between the date of this writing and the date of the hearing the Commonwealth intends to engage in discovery and to review all relevant documentation so as to clarify further the nature and extent of the Applicants' noncompliance with NUREG-0718.

, 6. Question: Please identify each fact upon which the ,

Commonwealth of Massachusetts relies in support of its answer

to interrogatory number 5. Please identify each document, and the particular parts thereof, of which the Commonwealth is aware which supports each fact so identified in this interrogatory. Please further indicace each such document I

which the Commonwealth intends to offer in evidence in this proceeding. For the purpose of this i.:terrogatory, please i

utilize the same definition of the word " document" as provided h in the Commonwealth's interrogatories to Boston Edison.

Answer: See Answer to Interrogatory No. 4.

7& 8. Question 7: For each item labelled " Requirement" under the heading of "I;mergency Planning" in the Staff's Supplement No. 5 to the Safety Evaluation Report for Pilgrim Unit 2 (which items are locate 3 on pages 13.3-1 through 13.3-10 of that document) please state whether the Commonwealth agrees with the Staff's conclusion. If the Commonwealth disagrees

with a particular item in any respect please state, in detail, l

l all reasons for such disagreement. If the Commonwealth takes l

no position or neither agrees nor disagrees with a particular l

i l

item, please state what efforts the Commonwealth has undertaken or intends to undertake between now and the date of the hearing to establish a position as to such item.

Question 8: Please identify each fact upon which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts relies in support of its ,

answer to interroaatory number 7. Please identify each document, and the particulai parts thereof, of which the Commonwealth is aware which supports each fact so identified in this interrogatory. Please further indicate each such document which the Commonwealth intends to offer in evidence in this proceeding. For the purpose of this interrogatory, please utilize the same definition of the word " document" as provided I in the Commonwealth's interrogatories to Boston Edison.

Answer:

A. The Commonwealth agrees with the Staff's

. conclusion.

l B. The Commonwealth agrees with the Staff's conclusion.

l C. The Com.monwealth disagrees that the Applicants j have described "how the public is to be  ;

notified and instructed," but otherwise agrees l with the Staff's conclusions. The facts upcn 1

l which the Commonwealth bases its disagreement l

l with respect to the issue of notification, and the documents which support those facts, have already been identified in response to i

interrogatory 42.

l l

D and E. The Commonwealth agrees with the Staff's conclusion.

F. The Commonwealth agrees with the Staff's conclusion.

l G. The Commonwealth disagrees with the Staff's l

conclusion that Appendix E, Part II, Item G has l

been satisfied for the reason that the Applicants' evacuation time analysis has been limited to a geographical area determi sed without refere a, to local emergency response

, needs and capabilities in violation of 10 CFR l

l 50, Appendix E. The facts upon which the Commonwealth bases its contention with respect to the failure to consider local emergency response needs and capabilities in violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, and the documents which support those facts, have already been j

identified by the Commonwealth in its answer to j interrogatory $2.

t l

i

l t

The Commonwealth also disagrees, given the ,

i discrepancies between the results of the CLEAR and EVAC models and the methodological problems with the CLEAR model outlined in response to l

l interrogatory #2 above, that the results of the 1

CLEAR calculations indicate that the EVAC estimates are realistic. The documents supporting these facts also appear in tne Commonwealth's response to interrogatory #2.

The Commonwealth agrees that the Sagamore Rotary constitutes a possible bottleneck, but does not agree that the evaluation presented in Appendix A assures that this bottleneck will l

not result in unwarranted delays in effective l

j evacuation of the plume EPZ if consideration of it is incorporated into state and local governments' traffic management planning. The I

Commonwealth relies on the following facts in support of this disagreement:

1. There are no established quantitative or qualitative standards by which one can judge whether any delays would be i " unwarranted."

l 2. The evacuation tima e.stimates set forth l l

in Appendix A fail co ?ccount for ordered l or spontaneous evacuation from Cape Cod via the Sagamore and/or Bourne Bridges.

3. The evacuation time estimate contained in Appendix A for the South Extended EPZ is 410 minutes, the highest estimate (along

. with the CLEAR estimate for the total 360 Extended EPZ) of any calculated by means of the CLEAR or EVAC models, according to SER Supplemnt No. 5.

4. The CLEAR model has all of the methodological problems outlined in answer to interrogatory #2 above.

The documents currently known to the Commonwealth which support these facts have already been identified in the Commonwealth's response to interrogatory #2.

As was stated above and in response to interrogatory #1, the Commonwealth disagrees that the Applicants have described a preliminary analysis that projects the time

and means to be employed in the notification of state and local governments and the public in the event of an emergency. The reasons for this disagreement, and documents relied upon, have already been outlined in response to interrogatory #2.

H. Because of the " preliminary" nature of what is required by this section, the Commonwealth agrnes with the Staff's j conclusion. However, as explained in answer to interrogatory number 3, the Commonwealth

does not agree that the requirements of NUREG-0718, Rev. 1, witn respect to these same matters have been met.

9. Question: Please identify each witness whom the Commonwealth of Massachusetts intends to have testify on its behalf on the subjects of emergency planning or TMI-2 related issues in this proceeding. Please s*. ate the televant qualifications and background of each such witness along with the subject matter upon which such witness is expected to testify and the substance of such witness's testimony.

Anawer: The Commonwealth currently intends to have the following individuals testify as a panel on the subject of emergency planning, with the latter two individuals also testifying as a panel on TMI-2 related issues.

(1) Phillip B. Herr (2) Richard B. Hubbard (3) Gregory C. Minor Resumes are attached. Up-dated resumes will be provided, if prepared.

Mr. Herr will prepare that portion of the Commonwealth's direct testimony relating to evacuation times, sheltering facilities, demography, road networks, access routes, and relocation centers. Messrs. Hubbard and Minor will jointly prepare the remainder of the Commonwealth's testimony on the matters relating to emergency planning identified in the foregoing responses and on TMI-2 related issues, including the inappropriate deferral of Action Plan Items for post-C,P.

review.

The Commonwealth agrees to supplement this response on a timely basis to the extent of notifying the Applicants of any additional witnesses which it will have testify on its behalf and of any expansion of the expected scope of its witnesses' direct testimony.

SIGNATURES The foregoing answers are true to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief.
