CONTENTIONS OF TOWN OF RYE RELATIVE TO EMERGENCY PLANNING FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE AND TOWN OF RYE CONTENTION I: The Applicant's Radiological Emergency Response Plan for New Hampshire and the Town of Rye does not satisfy the requirements of 10 C.F.R. 650.47(b)(1), (8), (9) or (12) because it is not authorized by Rye, and; there has been no assessment of the Town's or the State's emergency response needs and resources or satisfaction'of its resource requirements in the following areas: emergency per-sonnel, emergency notification, notification of key response personnel, sheltering,

! exposure cotrol, medical support, education, reception facilities, decontamination, training, radiological monitoring, public information, special needs of children and infirm, special needs of transients, exercise and drills, recovery and reentry, overall

, emergency transportation, transportation for special facilities, schools, and people with special needs or without private transportation, emergency medical transporta-ng3

. tion, medical treatment for contaminated injured individuals, radiological monitoring and assessment equipment, dosemeters and respiratory equipment for emergency work-o .

lg- ers, and manpower for traffic raanagement and access control, emergency transporta-g wo tion and security operations, emergency maintenance of evacuation routes and response IE Ma.o to abandoned. vehicles, traffic accidents, and other obstructions to evacuating traffic flow, and staffing of emergency response facilhies. In the absence of an assessment

.and satisfaction'of'the requirements in these areas, there can be no " reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken" to protect persons present in the Town of Rye in the event of a radiological emergency at Seabrook-Station, as required by.10 C.F.R. 550.47(a)(1).

BASIS FO'R RYE'S CONTENTION 1 THAT:

There'is no reasonable assurance that adequate protective action for the Town of Rye and neighboring populations can and will be taken in the event of certain forseeable kinds ~ of radiological emergencies which can and may occur at the Applicants pro-jected nuclear reactors if they are operated.

Applicants calculations and estimates do not account for: preparation and mobilization

and notification time, power failures affecting criticals systems such as phone and lights, bounds of error in calculation models, dynamic responses of public officials n .d evacuees, adverse weather, directional bias of evacuees, shadow evacuation, role conflicts of emergency personnel, actual evacuation routes, local options and agree-ments, transport resources, road conditions, equipment and facilities, current accurate population counts, back ups and in-depth reosurces, systems and personnel.

Reasonable assurance of adequate protection for Rye would require. in some cases of reactor excursions, events, runaways, scrams, melts, partial melts and other such loss of control, a more or less instantaneous awareness and mobilization of great numbers of willing and able public servants and/or volunteers, and; vast physical resources,

- equipage, transport, roadways, repair, and. safe refuge, and; realistic planning and di-rection. These basic resources,-and such readiness, willingness and ability, do not exist in.the Town of Rye, and as far as is known in Rye, does not exist in the Towns

3

- around' Rye. ~ Rye has t arely begun the process of evaluating the. radiological threats to health and safety which exist in the Town's surrounding environment, and those which may exist in the future, such as at Seabrook Station.

' Af ter careful consideration in an ongoing process begun early this year, the Town is finding-(fr'om reports of the Rye Nuclear Intervention Advisory Committee) that: Ne

. are prepared in only the crudest way for only the least kinds of accidents, and; we see no agency or resources which we could call (rely) on in the event of a serious acci-dent (radiological) affecting Rye", and; "The Committee agrees that any meaningful

, emergency response' plan (radiological or other) will he a product of Rye's own planning and resources; that in these matters, if g don't do it, it won't get done", and; that the PSNH/Lomasney- plan fails to assure adequate or timely staff, supplies, assistance, com-munications, coordination, notification, equipment or medical resources for evei, the relatively minor radiological emergencies which it projects (1 to 25 rems whole body

- dose).'

l- The purpose of the Lomasney/PSNH plan, published in the name of Rye, is twice l -

L described and is revealing:

a) in the preface, page -v- "This plan describes the preparation and emergency L

f response required by the Town of Rye to react to a potential radiological emergency at Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant" b) in section I-A page I-l PURPOSE "This Radiological Emergency Response Plan L

is designed to provide the Town of Rye with organizational procedures and a descrip-tion of protective action 'to be taken in the event of a radiological incident at the Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant"

'It is significant that public health and safety are never mentioned in the statements of purpose, and are mentioned but once in~ the entire 150 page document. The plan does not even begin to' address the needs for medical care appropriate to radiological sickness in a substantial number of people. Rye's population is 4,300. There are no-l appropriate medical services in Rye and only- one physician practicing in Rye.

-The plan made in'the name of Rye is apparently for the purpose of expediting a' license

, but is utterly useless as a tool for meaningful radiological emergency response prepared-ness in that; all other defects aside, it fails to' recognize or address the nature of a radi-ological emergency. Most creatures, humans for sure, are sickened by radiation, even -

small doses, therefore; unless a population successfully evades radiation, it must have medical care. And of a special kind, not ordinarily handy. 10 C.F.R. 50.47(b)(12) mandates it. The. Applicants are oblivious to it. Rye is only interested in. action that protects the public's health and safety. -We' know; that keeping radiation out of our lines is the best protection, that successfully. fleeing from it is next best, and that failing that, swif t sure medical care is the only other protection possible. Rye must and will ~ '

plan all its radiological emergency responses based-on dose-effect relationships of radia-tion and human health, and assured medical care for every citizen exposed, and; rejects out of hand all radiological' emergency planning that doesn't assure such protection. Rye believes the law supports us in our own proper choices in these matters. The Ato'mic

. Energy Act directs-the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to base its decisions only on the protection of the public's health and safety. Under current regulations, the' Federal ,

/

Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must find that a utility's plan has sufficient' local support to work. 10 C.F.R. 2.715(c) allows interested municipalities " . . .

reasonable opportunity to participate and to introduce evidence, interrogate witnesses,

- and advise the_ Commission." New Hampshire's RSA 107-b requires'"The civil defense

Analysis of 1983 Nuc; ear Powerplant Lic;nsing " Reform" Legisiction

'B2 Reagan Administration (tnrcan tht Dip;rtment of En:rgy) ena tha Nuclear R;gulatory Commission h:ve both filec ler.s'. ation to "strcamline" the process for lictnsing nuclear powerplants. The bills are nun:ered H.R. 2511 and S. 894 ( Administration / DOE bill) rnd H.R. 2512 and S. 893 (NRC bill).

As you might expect, the nuclear industry -- many large utilities, reactor makers such as Westinghouse and General Electric, and major architect / engineering firms like Bechtel and Stone i Webster -- are putting heavy pressure on Congress to move these bills, hay know that nuclear power is in trouble, because both the marketplace and the public at largo have rejected it in favor of safer, more reliable energy technologies.

No reactor has been ordered since 197P, and all 13 reactors ordered between 1974-8 have been cancelled or indefinitely postponed. At the same time, at least 26 coal-fired powerplants were ordered between 1979-1982. And recent public opinion polls, including one tak:n for the' nuclear industry, consistently show that 55'A of the American people oppose nuclear power while only 335 support it.

-- -However,-this-leg-islat-ion-would ,--if-ariythingy-make-the-industry's problems-worse r by further reducing public confidence in the NRC's ability to effectively regulate this tschnology. As former NRC Commissioner Pet'er Bradford told a Senate subcomittee, "the NRC h: ring process ranks very low among the issues that have brought nuclear power to its prestnt situation. NRC hearings did not cause Bree Mile Island. NRC hearings did not bring about the cancellation and default at the UPPSS units. NRC hearings had nothing to do with the' quality assurance breakdowns at Diablo Canyon and Zimmer. NRC hearings are not causing the Midland containment to sink. NRC hearings are not even at the bottom of the

. cost overruns at Shoreham and Seabrook."

Both the DOE and NRC bills are structured around the same set of regulatory concepts:

restricted backfitting (based on quantitative cost / benefit analysis), "one-step" licensing, hybrid hearings, early site review, and pre-approval of plant designs.

  • Both bills introduce, for the first time, the concept of cost / benefit balancing into the Atomic Energy Act. he Act now directs the NRC to base its decisions only on the protcetion of the public's health and safety. Under a cost / benefit standard, any improvement in public protection would easily be $' outweighed" by the cost of , needed rep irs, since the latter can be precisely calculated but the formc.- is necessarily imprecise and speculative.

" Tne DOE bill would make it much more difficult for the NRC to order safety-related upgrcdings - ("backfits") in the equipnent or operations of any reactor that has already received initial NRC approval . NRC now has, and has needed, a great deal of flexibility to respond to the constantly-emerging safety problems that neither the agency nor the industry wsra prepared for. Among other things, the DOE bill:

-- requires the NRC Commissioners to personally approve all backfit orders, a f.;nc:.i;c now largelv handled by staff;

-- restricts the information NRC .can require licensees to submit, thus making it hard;r to investigate emerging safety problems;

-- allows NRC to adopt a lower standard of safety for older plants by directing it to consider the " remaining life of the facility" before ordering repairs;

-- implicitly requires all backfits to be justified by complex quantitative risk asnasments that can easily be manipulated to downgrade the need for expensive repairs.

(De DOE bill proposes these drastic changes, even though DOE," questioned in a House hearing, could not come up with a single example of an unnecessary backfit!)

The NRC bill 'does not go as far, but it does require a higher standard of proof b3 fore backfits can be ordered.

  • Bath bills would let the NRC issue a "one-step" license, covering operation as well as construction, but neither bill requires the NRC to resolve all outstanding safety

Astions before constructio:. :egins. 22

  • The DOE bill would let a utility ' start site preparation work, including

" safety-related construction activities", before the NRC has issued any license -- in fa before it has approved either the' reactor design or the site. ,

comitment of the utility's resources will inevitably bias the licensingSuch an irrevocable process and add to

~

the pressure on NRC to acquiesce in whatever the utility has already done.

  • 'lhe DOE bill would repeal the requirement for an adjudicatory hearing, now held whether the plantupon was request of any constructed citizen-intervenor before a plant begins operation, o properly.

' rs t rtrnent s } ir axocsir.g In recent years.

aj:r .i:t:Pos tnd :h:Cy w.r.tr xtir,:i these hearings have been pra Lices at plants lige Zimmer, Midland, South Texas, and Diablo Canyon.

Under the DOE bill, all pre-operational reviews would be left to the NRC staff, which has a very poor record mistakes on its own; there would

-' the utility's peality assurance re:: rds. be no formal outside review or even any public disc Bath bills weaken the public's right which is often the only way to uncover safety problems. to cross-examine NRC and utility experts, Under the bills' provisions for

" hybrid" hearings, the NRC licensing, board will have to decide in each case which will be subject to cross-exanination -- a decision that, unlike more technical sa issues, can often rroceedings. be reversed in court, thus lengthening rather than shortening (he current e Mder the DOE bill, procedures allow each party to cross-examine all witnesses.)

issues are subject to tne !EC Commissioners _themselves would decide, case-by-case, which cross-examination!

These new ;;recedures can be applied in cases dready underway, ootentially changing the ground-rules in the middle of the hearin .

Both bills, but especially the NE till, evidence in ways that make it more difficult fer citizens to pursue serious safety sites effective for long periods of time. Bath bills make the NRC's approval of st 10 years, with a 10-year renewal granted Tne NRC bill makes both approvals effective for almost automatically, he burden of proof is snifted to the public to show that the design does not meet current safety standar rather than standards. remaining with the reactor manufacturer to show that it still meets the for design approvals and site permits. DOE's bill goes even further, allowing an in in'.' obsolet:e designs and questionable sites for decades.The effect of such provisions is to " gra

  • Ecth bills defer payment of the application fee for design approvals and site termits until the design or site is actually used, or until the end of the 10 year appr
eriod. oval (The DOE bill waives the fee entirely if the design is never used.)- This anounts General Electric -- hardly the most needy recipients of scarce fed

> wer *Authority, Both bills would delegate to the states, or to federal agencies like the Bonnevi]le and the availability of alternativ ?the responsibility for reviewing the need for the power to be gen i npact analysis mandated by the National Envircnmental Pelicy(NEPA) Actenergy sources

-- without -- ess setting any minimm standards for public participation, and without mandating full consideration of conservation and improved energy efficiency as alternatives to new powerplant construction.

  • While the scope of the NRC bill is generally restricted to light-water reactors the DOE bill would also apply to breeder reactors and reprocessing plants -- two new and ,

potentially even more dangerous types of nuclear facilities. The bill's procedural shortcuts and backfitting restrictions are entirely inappropriate when not one breeder reactor or reprocessing plant is operating commercially in this country.
