  • EIMG OF "UNT;5 RISX" During the hearing the Boat.! csked for cor. cents from cach of the. parties coaccining the ccanin; o f tho, phrase "without unduc risk to the hecith and safety of the public" t s used in ir suo number 1.4 prescribed by the Coc.mit.sion for consi ; ration

( in this proceeding. Issue number 1.4 reads cs follows: "whe ther... there is r ea sonab_1c e n em.-.cc thct... (2) (ii) taking into consideration the site criteria contained in Part ,100, the proposed facility can be constructed and operated at the proposed location without undue risk to the health and safety of the public." The Board has particulcrly requested I a statement of ecch parties' understanding of the word " undue", whether " undue" mecns " unnecessary" and, if so, "unneccesary in i. Y vicu of what requirements." D }. W'- d Ce P/d w ip D 9102140022 901219 OK 73 PDR

. ~ ' ( 2 The phrase in question is used in part 50 of the Commission's e regulations, particularly Section 50.35, which lists the issues upon which the Comaission must make a finding in order to issuo a provisions 1 construction permit. A proper definition of undue risk in the context in which it is used requires an understanding p f of the phrase "reasonabic assuranco". The Conaission in its -I final decision in the P.DC caso adopted the definition of " reason-obic assurahec" set forth in Crect Atlantic 6 Pacific T9a Co. v. }!unhes, 55 Ohio App. 255, 4 N.E. 2d 700 (1935). In that case. 4 4 3 the court said "reasonabic assurance means reasonabic probability, cstablished under the particular circumstances of the case in good faith and in the exercise of sound discretion and expert judseent." ( The tern " undue risk" itself as used in the regulations has not been defined specifically in any decision of the Commission or the courts. But there are guideposts to a definition to the t tera in various Commission decisions and actions. First, it is 5 cicar that the phrase does not mean the absence of all risk -- i absoluto safety. This is implicit in the vords thcasc1ves -- "without u.due risk" rather than sir. ply "without risk." Safety-in everyday life ' docs'not mean an absolute freedo t from injury or risk. 9-

( ( p 3 For, in our vicu, does the phrase mean " unnecessary" or l- "avoidabic" risk. The logical extension of such a definition i h Ic ads eventually to a definition synony;aous with " absence of risk" sinco all risk can be avoided simply by refraining from building reactors or using any kind of radioactive rnatorial in This is electly contrary to the intent of the Congress I any way. I in pacsing the Atomic Encray Act of 1954 to provide for the peaceful, private'use of atomic oncrgy. In that Act Congress 3 declared it to be the policy of the United States that: "a. the devcicpment, use, and control of i atonic energy shall be directed so as to make the mnicum contribution to the general we l f are, subject to all tiracs to the para-raount objective of making the taaximum con-tribution to the conmon defense and security; and "b. the development, use, and control of i atomic encray shall be directed so as to i j promote world peace, iraprove the general welfare, increase the standard of living, l j and strengthc= free competition in private enterprise." The benefits of the peaceful uses of nucicar energy, and in particular the benefits of the generation of electric power by the use of nucicar encrcy, have been recognized by the Congress i j. .of the United States in the enactment of the Atomic Energy Act 1 i I I j i

..mt ~ '. ' ' 'e. ( ( 4 of 1954. This law authorized the use of nucicar caergy by private 3 t individuals under such safety criteria and standards as the AEC deems necessary to protect the health and sefety of the public. 'l to the Atomic Energy Act, the AEC has issued regulations Purscant under which nucicar pouer plants mcy be opercted. These regula-L t tions include Part 50 - Licensing of Production and Utilization i. Facilitics, Part 20 - Standards for Protection Against Radiation, .c and Part 100 - Reactor Site Criteria. In Part 20 of its regulations, the Commission has established standards for protection against radiation hazards during normal operations of the reactor facilitics licensed by the Conmission under Part 50. In Part 100, the commissio'n has, in ef fect, established general guides (" reference values") to be used in the evaluation of reactor sites with respect to potential reactor j I accidents of exceedingly lou probability of occurrence and low \\ risk of public exposure to radiation. I,n so doing, it has, in e ffect, defined undue risti to public t.calth and safety in the event of a severe accident to' a reactor facility proposed to bc licensed under Part 50. l In Section 100,11, a method of determining the exclusion I area, low population zone, and pepulation center distance from a nucicar power plant.L is described based upon an asevmod ~

q f .'..c3..'s ,A, {- ( 4 fission product release resulting from a major accident which l vould cause potential hazcrds not execeded by those from any necident ceni,idered credibic. Under this regulction a so-eclied "saaximum credibic accident" for a particular facility can be identified. The guides of Part 100 have been in'corporated into Part 50 in Section 50.35(a) in that part of the regulations g which state "taking into consideration the site criteria contained 'in Part 100, the proposed facility can be constructed and operated [ ot the proposed location without undue risk to the health and safety of the public." This, of course, is also the language of issue number 1.4 in this proceeding. In the judgmant of the AIC regulctory staf f, the evidence b in this proceeding cicarly supports an affirmative conclusion ,with respect to thi,s issue.
