March 23, 1983 THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE'S ANSUER TO APPLICANT'S SIXTH MOTION FOR

SUMMARY

DISPOSITION AND TO THE STAFF'S MOTION FOR PARTIAL

SUMMARY

DISPOSITION OF CONTENTION NH-13 Pursuant to 10 C.F.R.

S2.749 the State of New Hampshire hereby answers the Applicant's motion for full summary disposition, and the Staff's partial motion for summary disposition, of Contention NH-13.

i Insofar as the Applicant has asserted its commitment to implementing fully the special training for mitigating core damage required by NUREG-0737, Item II.B.4, as interpreted in Enclosure 3 i

to H.R.

Denton's March 28, 1980 letter, and in light of its submission of an acceptable outline of such training, New Hampshire no longer asserts non-compliance with that NUREG-0737 requirement with regard to the listed operations personnel.

New Hampshire opposes, however, both summary disposition motions as to NUREG-0737, Item I.C.I.

The Staff and the Applicant assert 8303250162 830323 PDR ADOCK 05000443 O

PDR

=

1 ;

that the Applicant has complied with this requirement since it has committed to follow the Uestinghouse owners Group recommendations 4

for developing emergency procedures.

However, as the Applicant's affiant, George S. Thomas, stated in his af fidavit' accompanying the Applicant's summary disposition motion, the-Uestinghouse Owners

)

Group is still "in the process of finalizing emergency response guidelines."

Until such time as these guidelines are completed, there is no assurance that the Applicant's " commitment" to implementing them will satisfy the mandate of NUREG-0737, Item I.C.l.

Therefore, as a matter of law, the Applicant's and staff's motions for summary disposition on this issue should be denied, i

The Applicant also is not entitled to summary disposition in its favor as to its compliance with NUREG-0737, I.A.1.1.1/

By its own admission it is still seeking staff approval to obviate the need for a separate Shift Technical Advisor (STA) (see George S.

Thonas affidavit), so that this NUREG-0737 requirement has not been met.

The Applicant must provide an STA as required by Item I.A.1.1 l

until such time as "the qualifications of the shift supervisors and senior operators have been upgraded, and the man-machine interface in the control room has been acceptably upgraded."

NUREG-0737, Item I

I.A.1.1.

(Emphasis added.)

At the present time the Applicant has I

not demonstrated that the control room design as it pertains to

" man-ma' chine interface" has been acceptably upgraded, and it is not,

therefore, in compliance with NUREG-0737, Item I.A.l.l.

On this basis the Applicant's Motion for Sumnary Disposition as to this 4

NUREG-0737 requirement must be denied.

i STATEMENT OF FACTS AS TO WHICH THERE IS DISPUTE 1.

Because the Applicant has not demonstrated that the qualifications of-shift supervisors and senior operators have been upgraded and that the " man-machine interface" in the control room.has also been adequately upgraded, it has not complied with NUREG-0737, Item I.A.l.1 in providing for shift technical advisors, t

2.

Because the Applicant, through the Westinghouse owners Group, has not finalized emergency response guidelines based on an analysis of transients and accidents, it has not complied with NUREG-0737, Item I.C.1.
