UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS' RESPONSE TO NYPIRG MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF C04 MISSION DECISION OF JUNE 9, 1983
%e thion of Concerned Scientists supports NYPIRG's motion for reconsideration of the Commission decision of June 9,1983, permitting the Indian Ibint plants to continue operation without restriction despite continued noncompliance with emergency planning requirements.
We will not repeat the argtanents made by NYPIRG. Were are two points which should be emphasized.
First, due to the strike by Coned employees, there can be no pretense that the hundreds of utility employees who are supposed to stand in for local and county personnel and bus drivers will be there to do these jobs.
- Indeed, the strike will even prevent their being trained and acquainted with their functions. No mention whatever was made to the Commissioners by the utilities or NRC of thG inninence of a strike. Had the strike begun before the Commission vote on June 9, the Commission could not have permitted plant operation.
Second, the majority decision and the separate views of the
]gh) 8306270159 830623 PDR ADOCK 05000247 G
Comissioners in the majority appear to have been written without benefit of review of the FEMA report on the status of planning and preparedness which was delivered to the Comission the day before the vote. When one gets beyond the carefully phrased ambiguities of the cover letter and into the substance of the report, it is unquestionably apparent that emergency planning for Indian Ibint is a chimera. NYPIRG's motion points out some of these deficiencies.
UCS was astonished to read in the FEMA report, in particular, that none of the nine training standards have been met. Virtually all of the persons who are supposed to effect an evacuation and to protect the public, including the emergency coordinators, police, fire, bus drivers are not trained. 'Ihe long list of deficiences in the plan proceeds from there on, but one can scarcely imagine a more fundamental one. Had the Commission been fully aware of the sorry state of preparedness, it surely would not have allowed Indian Ibint to operate.
UCS urges the Commission to reconsider its decision of June 9, 1983.
