NUREG/BR-0025 INFORMATION REPORT ON O p..m MState Leg'slation OFFICE OF STATE PROGRAMS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Vol. 9. No. 6 July 1983
}
On June 9,1983, the NRC voted to permit the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant to continue its operations after the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reported that " substantial progress" has been made in eliminating deficiencies in the plant's emergency plans.
Conmissioners Gilinsky and Asselstine provided the dissenting opinions, arguing that "the public interest and our own regulations" require closing the plant until it is shown that "the public health and safety can be protected in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone around Indian Point."
The second National Meeting on Low-L'evel Radioactive Waste was held June 20-21 in Baltimore, MD with participants representing the
'\\s compacts, States and Federal agencies.
Three principal policy issues discussed were: (1) post-1986 waste management options; (2) State siting procedures; and (3) Federal waste provisions and uniform definitions in the compacts.
Over 100 people attended the meeting.
On June 23, 1983, representatives from NRC and DOE met with the State Working Group on High-level Waste Management, hosted by the National Governors' Association.
Topics of discussion centered on relationships between NRC and the States in light of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, NRC and DOE have signed an agreement which describes consultation and exchange of information procedures to be followed by both agencies during site characterizations for a geologic repository under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act. Among other things, the agreement calls for an NRC representative to be " stationed at each site undergoing investigation, principally to serve as a point of prompt information exchange and consultation and to preliminarily identify concerns about such investigations relating to potential licensing issues."
The agreement calls for potential host States and Indian Tribes to be invited to technical meetings between NRC and DOE on the siting process.

The NRC's Region V Office (Walnut Creek, CA) and the Office of State Programs are sponsoring a pilot radiological dose assessment seminar on July 19-20, 1983 in Sacramer.co for the States of Oregon, Washington, Arizona and California. Discussions will focus on protective action decisionmaking, the role of offsite monitoring, interfacing with NRC during a nuclear emergency, and will include a dose projection workshop for the participants. The seminar may be the first of a number of such workshops held by NRC across the g
country.
