1 Commissioner Reaiok's Comments on SECY-90-256 I do not approve the' staff's proposal to publish the. notice of.
l proposed rulemaking on ERDS.
I do not believe that the' cost t?
~
industry and1to NRC to install the ERDS program and the' subsequent' costs of maintenance, surveillance, testing and i
inspection have been shown to be justified.by the potential j
reduction in risk to the public under the backfit rule.
R I do not question that there are-advantages to ensuring that the most accurate and-timely information11s provided'to the NRC l
during an emergency in order to enable the staff lto better
' perform its monitoring role. I do not believe however, that the ERDS program is necessary-for ensuring this'information is available.
For example, no mention-is made that authority is transferred to the Regional' personnel on-site at the earliest j
l opportunity during an emergency, and that these individuals-havo l
access to accurate and timely information'at the site.
It may-be desireable for 100% of-licensees to have.the capability to electronically transmit emergency-information to the NRC operations Center,1but:before' requiring the NRC and industry:to j
incur the associated expense, I would.suggebt_that the program be j
i continued on a voluntary basis.and the need for a rule be reconsidered after several years of experience with the system-I L
have been gained.-.If experience demonstrates that there are significant public risk benefits, then I would be-more willing to!
I consider rulemaking at that time.
