MOTION TO ADMIT PORTIONS OF DEPOSITION OF ROBERT JAY BUDNITZ AS EVIDENCE Long Island Lighting Company ("LILCO") makes this motion to admit portions of the deposition of Robert Jay i
Budnitz as evidence on Suffolk County Contention 7B1/ on the grounds that this testimony of Dr. Budnitz is material, 1/
10 C.F.R.
$ 2.740a(g) (1982) authorizes making a deposi-tion, or part et a deposition, part of the record when it is received in evidence.
That provision does not, however, indi-cate the proper circumstances for admitting a deposition as evidence.
Where, as here, the Commission Rules of Practice are silent on a procedural rule or practice, guidance is found in the rules and practices followed in the federal courts.
Consumers Power Company (Midland Plant, Units l 'and 2),
ALAB-379, 5 NRC 565, 568 n.13 (1971).
i Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 32(a)(3)(B) allows the use of depositions at hearings when the deponent."is at a greater distance than 100 miles'from the place of trial or hearing.
unless it appears that the absence
. was procured by the party offering the deposition."
This provision authorizes the use of Dr. Budnitz's deposition at the hearings in this pro-ceeding because Dr. Budnitz lives in California, clearly more than 100 miles from the location of the hearings.

relevant, and probative regarding the quality and scope of the Probabilistic Risk Assessment ("PRA") performed'at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station ("Shoreham").
Dr. Budnitz, a former director of NRR (1979-80), was retained as a PRA expert by Suffolk County, inter alia, for the purpose of reviewing the Shoreham PRA.
More specifically, during the depositions conducted in connection with the contentions filed on Phase I of emergency planning, Suffolk County offered Dr. Budnitz as one of its experts regarding the PRA performed at Shoreham.2/
Dr. Budnitz's deposition, currently on file with the NRC, was taken on August 17, 1982, in Beverly Hills, California.
In the course of his deposition, Dr. Budnitz made clear his opinion on the thoroughness and high quality of the Shoreham PRA:
Q.
You indicated, Dr. Budnitz, that you had reviewed -- read critically the PRA for Shoreham.
A.
Yeah, but it's too long to do.
You know, it's not something you --
Q.
Right.
A.
It's not something you read each page of, and it's not something that we attempted to -- to review thoroughly item by item.
2/
Suffolk County, in addition to Dr. Budnitz, offered Fred C.
Finlayson as an expert on this issue.
9.
Q.
On the basis of what you've done, have you formed any opinion or expressed any opinion to anyone concerning the thoroughness of it?
A.
Yes.
Q.
All right.
What is that?
A.
We are impressed by its thoroughness and quality, generally.
We believe that it is a report that was at the state of the art.
That is, these analysts are as competent as the best in the business.
It's hard to say whether they're better than the other three or four teams that carry out such work, but they're certainly at that level.
That opinion is preliminary but is unlikely to change even if we find in the end some differences, large or small, with details.
That's a preliminary opinion that I'm willing to state and stand behind as opposed to, for example, if you asked me what is my preliminary view of the internal flooding question.
I'll say, " Wait a minute.
I'm still wrestling with that one; okay?"
But I would be capable of stating now and believing that it won't change in the end; that we believe that the analysis is technically good.
In fact, better than good.
It's -- I said it's at the state of the art.
Dep. Tr. at 52, line 23 through page 53, line 26.
Contrary to the County's position on the PRA, Dr.
Budnitz also made equally clear his expert opinion that he has no doubt the Shoreham PRA considers systems interactions.
Q.
You don't have any doubt, though, do you, that systems interactions were consid-ered in the SAI work? --
m n
A.
No, none whatsoever.
In fact, in conversations with Erdmann, Burns, and.
colleagues a month ago, we had some questions about some of.the stuff they did that they resolved just by answering, you know, what it was that they had done, and I could state here my tentative conclusion that, you know, they did a good job, and there are some good insights, and I learned a lot more on that stuff just by reading that long transcript in which Burns and Joksimovich said more on some of that than was in the report.
Q.
You're referring to the transcript of the hearing?
A.
Of the hearing, yeah, June or July, whenever it was on'the 4th of July.
Dep. Tr. at 89, line 15 through page 90, line 1.
These opinions, offered by an expert retained by Suffolk County, are unquestionably material and relevant with respect to the PRA conducted at Shoreham.
Moreover, this tes-timony is particularly probative because it is the County's own expert reaching conclusions contrary to positions taken by the County with respect to the Shoreham PRA.
- See, e.g.,
Goldsmith, et al.,
ff. Tr. 1114, at 66 ("Unfortunately, the PRA currently being done at Shoreham excludes systems interactions
").
Wherefore, LILCO moves that the following excerpts from the deposition of Dr. Budnitz be admitted in evidence and made a part of the record.3/

A Well, th2 quaationa cro numbercd, to I crn 2
just tell you which ones they are.
3 0
Fine.
4 A
Number 1 is still open for us and bumber 2, a
bhmber 5, Number 13.
Just to give you an example, we asked "The discussion" a question in Number 14, and the answer was, 6
-- on page something-something -
"is no longer applicable,"
7 a
and the thing is being revised.
So what we didn't like, they realized, too.
9 10 This is, of course, a draft, and they're revising.
So that's the sort of interaction that, you know, i. a fairly typical 11 12 thing in this.
Number 18, their response has a clear typo; 23 14 okay?
They've got a probability of 1.2 that we think is
.12, and I'm sure they'll agree when we tell them that.
ss Number 20.
16 okay.
So the stage you're in now --
27 0
is A
And that's all, and there are 23 questions altogether, and those are the ones where I think we're 19 liable to go back and ask another question, but for two or 20 three of them, Lambert in the past day or two or Pete Davis 23 in the last day or,tana may have found the answer.
22 23 0
You indicated, Dr. Budnitz, that you had reviewed -- read critically the PRA for Shoreham.
24 23 A
Yeah, but it's too long to do.
You know, it's not something you --
2s Q
Right.
2; I
It's not,something you read each page of, and j
A 23 i
r 53 it'c not comething thut wa ctt mpt;d to.-- to r; view 1

Q on the basis of what you've done, have you formed any opinion or expressed any opinion-to anyone 4
a concerning the thoroughness of it?
E i O
6 A
Yes.
7 O
All right.
What is that?
8 A
We are impressed by its thoroughness and 9
quality, generally.
We believe that it is a report that 10 was at the state of the art.
That is, these analysts'are as competent as the best in the business.
It's hard to say 11 whether they're better than the other three or four teams 12 that carry out such work, but they're certainly at that j
13 i
14 level.
i i
That opinion is preliminary but is unlikely is to change even if we find in the end some differences, large 1s i
17 or small, with details.
That's a preliminary opinion that I'm willing to state and stand behind as opposed to, for 18 19 example, if you asked me what is my preliminary view of the internal flooding question.
20 I'll say, "Wa,it a minute.
I'm still wrestling 21 22 with that one; okay?"
But I would be capable of stating f
j now and believing that it won't change in the end; that we l
23 i
believe that the analysis is technically good.
In fact, I
24 23 better than good.
It's -- I said it's at the state of the l
2r, art.

Are you familiar with the so-called 2-deterministic studies that have been done at Shoreham?
23
89 l
Q
, How th3 SAI cccccced cystem7 --
1 2
A Okay.
I mean, it's eclectic.
That~little 3
comment was intended to tell you that I think that the phrase 4
" systems interaction," which now has a life of its own, has 5
become -- has encompassed too many specific issues for its B
G
(
-own good.
3 7
Okay.
Witness some June, July discussions ir.
s which people in this room were all swearing to tell the truth 8
and so on and cross-examining each other somewhere in Long zu Island in which so many issues were brought into -- so many 11 issues were brought in, you know, that I can't possibly even 12 think about covering all_of them here, and I'm not going to 13 cover them all.
I can't.
It's unbelievable what went on.
1 14 15 0
You don't have any doubt, though, do you, that j to systems interactions were considered in the SAI work?
t li A
No, none whatsoever.
In fact, inconversationsl i

1.2.5 then is simply the --
3 A
Conclusion.
4 0
-- conclusions.
Do you know what the possible l
3 major issues are that will require special treatment?
i 6
A Yeah.
Generally they go as follows:
There 7
'are five classes into which all the accidents at Shoreham a
have been lumped for the purposes of this analysis, the SAI e
analysis, and the question is whether the accidents have
~
10 been grouped properly;"'That is, whether, for_ example, an 11 accident stuck into Class 3 might better be a Class 1 or a 12 5, let's say, because, in fact, each of those then is 13 generically used to do other things with, you know.
14 There's a time of release that, for example, u
for one class might be a 30-hour release and one class might is be a prompt release and that sort of thing, and that's an 17 issue which we're looking at.
18 Q
Any conclusions to date on that?
19 A
No, no, no.
Not yet.
20 Q
Is there any particular issue within that issue that you're focus'ing on?
Is there any particular 21 22 sequence that is grouped in one class or another that you're 23 particularly focusing on?
24 A
No, no.
That's not an area where we'd have 2:.
problems, but we're still -- I'm still looking at it.
2c Q
Okay.
