INTERVENORS', FOE ET AL. PROPOSED CONTENTION RE:

EMERGENCY PLANNING Intervenors FOE ET AL. hereby submits the following contention.

Said contention is sWamitted based on the Interim Findings and Determinations made by FEMA on June 3, 1981 and received by FOE et al. on June 10, 1981.

REVISED CONTENTION An operating license for SONGS 2 and 3 should not be granted because the Federal Emergency Management Agency

(" FEMA") concluded that the off-site capability for implementation of the emergency response plans is. inadequate and the emergency plans ' submitted by the local juris' dictions do not meet the requirements of NUREG-0654.

More specifically, the following requirements of 10 C.F.R.

S 50.47 and 10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix E have not been met:

A)

Many conflicts exist in the emergency responsibilities of the various jurisdictions.

10 C.F.R. S 50.47(b).

In particular, monitoring and assessment duties for both plume and ingestion pathways have not been clarified.

See FEMA's Interim Findings and Determinations 3, t4 8107100210 810705 PDR ADOCK 05000361 Exhibit A G

a (June 3,1981) (hereinafter cited.as FEMA Findings).

B)

Response organizations do not have sufficient personnel to handle total response requirements.

10 C.F.R. S 50.47(b) (1) ; See FEMA Findings 3, 55.

c)

Me thods, systems, and equipment for assessment and monitoring o'f actual or potential off-site consequences of a radiological emergency do not meet minimum criteria.

A number of jurisdic-tions lack equipment and capability to conduct monitoring; air sampling equipment is generally not available; assessment and monitoring teams do not have sufficient radiological training.

10 C.F.R.

S 50.47(b) (9); See, FEMA Findings 6, $1.

D)

The Utility has failed to provide the emergency facilities and equipment needadto support the emergency response.

10 C.F.R.

S50. 47 (b) (10) ; See, FEMA Findings 5, 54.

E)

The means for early notification and instruction to the populace within the plume exposure EPZ has not been established.

10 C.F.R.

S50.47(b)(5).

See, FEMA Findings 4, 53.

F)

The EOF is incapable of meeting emergency respons,e requirements because of.the following shortcomings:

lack of clear operating procedures, fragmentation of the facility, lack of management directions communications, and inadequate size of facility.

10 C.F.R.

S50.47 (b) (2), (3) and (10).

See, FEMA Findings 4, 51.

G)

Adherence to critical time frames for notification; ingestion pathway sampling and analysis; and reentry and recovery operations have not been tested.

10 C.F.R. S50. 47 (b) (5), (10) and (13).

See, FEMA Findings 5, $1 and 6, t 1, 5.

Exhibit A Page 2 of 4

_n_.-_-_---.___,__

H)

Emergency plans are inadequate in that the FEMA review of the plans dated April 27, 1981 found 134 instances of lack of full compliance with the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654.

DATED:

June 22, 1981 P.ICHARD J.

WHARTON Attorney for Intervenors' CARSTENS ET AL.

ADDENDUM Intervonors May Refer To Pertinent Portions of the FEMA Findings in'Their Contention And Sub-contention When Such Reference Supports And Clarifies Tne Particular Issue At the June 18, 19 81 Prc-hearing Conference the NRC Staf f suggested that Intervenors CARSTENS et al. could not refer to the FEMA Findings in their contention.

THE NRC Staff cited Tennessee Valley Authority (Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2),

LBP-76-10, 3 NRC 209 (1976), as authority for this point.

In Tennessee Valley Authority the petitioner attempted to incorporate by reference into his supporting affidavit "about 3000 pages of material including newspaper articles, magazine articles, opinions, and public statements by a large number of people about the Browns Ferry Fire, without any attempt to direct specific attention to pertinent portions particularly permane to the issues in this proceedina."

(Emphasis Added. )

Id. at 216.

The Licensing Board ruled that such non-selective incorporation frustrated the particularity requirements cf 10 C.F.R. S2.714.

Clearly, Tennessee Valley Authority does not app 1y in this situation.

Intervenors do not seek to incorporate the entire docu-ment by reference.

Quite the contrary, Intervenors refer to specific pertions of the FEMA Findings only for support and further clarifi-cation of each particular sub-contention.
