16 December 1983 Judges James Kelley, Glet'n Bright, & Dr. James Carnenter ASLB Panel, Docket 50-h00, USNRC, Washington DC 20555.

Dear Administrative Judges,

Since the December 5 filing by Joint Intervenors and myself re witnesses on radiation health effects (Contentions Joint II and Eddleman 37B and 8F(2)), I have received a statement of oualifications of Dr. Caral Johnson (attached). He has tauFht enidemiology and nublic health (U. of Washington), is a fellow of the American College of epidemiology, etc, as set forth in detail in his " Summary of Bio-Data".

In addition, I have delivered a free copy of all documents so far received fron Dr. Johnson, to CP&L Legal Dent by hand on 12-13-83.

They are: Bio-Data of Carl Johnson (sumnary, qualifications)

. Denver, CO 80215 (303) 232-2328 August, 1982 i Sunnary of Bio-Data for Carl Johnson l Dr. Johnson is an associate clinical professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and was fonnerly Director of the Jefferson County Health Department in Colorado.

He is past-president of the Colorado Public Health Association, and is active at the national level in the American Public Health Association on the Governing Council, the Health Adninistration Section Council (Chainnan, 1979-80), the Action Board, the Program Development Board Chairman), the Joint Policy Council (Co-chainnan), and the Executive Board (ex-officio)(. He is board-certified in public health and a fellow of the America College of Epidemiology, the American College of Preventive Medicine, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is a member of the Society for Epidemi-ologic Research, the International Epidemiological Association, the Epidemiology Section of the American Public Health Association, and the Health Physics Society. He has been active in local and state medical societies.

He was formerly a district health officer in Seattle, and an assistant clinical professor cf epidemiology and international health at the University of Washington. He did graduate work in epidemiology and health adninistration at the University of California at Berkeley (MPH in 1969) and has been elected to Phi Kappa Phi and Delta Omega (Public H:alth). He has published about 70 scientific articles and abstracts, of which about half are in the ama of epidemiology and half concern the study of environmental con-tamination with radionuclides and their biomedical effects.

In 1965 he did medical research under a National Institute of Health grant at the Ohio State University College of Medicine, receiving an MS degree concurrently with his MD.

He has also worked as a pathologist for DuPont's Haskell Laboratory for Toxicology and Industrial Medicine, evaluating the biomedical effects of chemical agents, and taught pathology at Cornell University as an acting associate professor. While a medical student, he worked as a research assistant in neurophysiology, in studies of the dis-tribution of radiocarbon-labeled compounds in tissue.

Currently he is the principal investigator in a project funded by the National Institutes '

of Health to study health effects in the Denver area downwind from a nuclear installation.

Reports of his work have been presented at national and international meetings and at a ,

1 number of universities, including Harvard, Columbia, and Stanford, and the University of i Edinburgh, University College of London, the University of Copenhagen, and the Karolinska l Institute in Stockholm.

In Colorado he was chainnan of an inter-agency committee which developed the school health standards for the State of Colorado, helped organize the oefferson County Emergency Medical Services Council and an EMS program, and chaired an Interim Working Coninittee which developed plans for the alcoholism program. He developed the first strep sur-veillance and control program in the schools in the Denver area and has been active in the area of health planning and the investigation and resolution of environmental prob-lems. In 1978 he was selected " Man of the Year" by the Denver area Sentinel newspapers.

Dr. Johnson married Kathryn Van Deusen in 1956. They have three children, and live in Wheatridge, Colorado.

Dear John:

I would like to provide. you with the following additional information to further demonstrate that the use of the Shirazi-Davis model in my analysis of thermal plume behavior for the Shearon-Harris Nuclear Power Plant is appro-priate.

Several laboratory experiments (Koestdr 1974, Hafetz 1975) have been performed to study submerged single-port thermal discharges for various discharge conditions. Temperature data obtained from those experiments were compared with the simulation results of the Shirazi-Davis buoyant jet model for stagnant environments (Groff 1976). The experimental jet qualities compared include the jet centerline trajectory, the jet centerline temperature decay, and the surface isotherms.

The results indicated that, for the designed discharge conditions at the Shearon-Harris plant (Froride Number = 6 s 8 and relative depth of submergence = 5 s 10), the Shirazi-Davis model predicts jet centerline trajectory slightly shorter than the experimental trajectory and gives slightly higher surface temperature than the experimental jet. This comparison demonstrates that the Shirazi-Davis model is applicable for the Shearon-Harris study, and the temperature predictions which I presented in the DEIS are reasonable and conservative.

Considerable advancement in thermal plume modeling has been made in the last decade. However, the physics and modeling.of single-port buoyant jet were well established in the early 70's. Based'on my knowledge in thermal plume analysis and my recent conversations with Professor Eric Adams at MIT and Dr. Tony Policastro at ANL, I came to the conclusion that no other nodels have recently been developed specifically for studying single-port submerged jet.

Therefore, if you are interested in reanalyzing the Shearon-Harris discharge plume behavior with a more sophisticated model, it will be necessary to adapt from models developed for other discharge designs.

ANL has implemented on its computer system a three-dimensional model for studying hydrodynamics of thermal discharges in large lakes resulting from near-surface discharge.

case. However, I believeThis model can be modified for the Shearon-Harris the adaptation of a more sophisticated model for the Shearon-Harris study would only prove costly and not gain much improvement in the predicted temperature results.
