Introduction Cn July 16,19%, the following message was provided to the NRC Secretariat: The Commission's failure to act on the Committee to Bridge the Cap's June 22 Emergency Petition prior to the opening of the UCLA Olynpic Village--which occurred last weekend--makes moot that Petition, which had requested offshipment of the UCIA reactor fuel prior to the arrival of the Olympic athletes. CBG therefore withdraws the Fetition as moot. Written confirmation will follow. This document represents said confirmation. II. Background Cn June 22, the Committee to Bridge the Gap (CBG) filed an Emergency l Fetition with the Commission asking that it enforce an agreement reached between the parties to the UCIA reactor proceeding and ordered by that Board, a stipulation with which UCLA declined to comply and which the Board declined to enforce. That agreement had been that the hearing on the adequacy of UCLA's j security to protect its Special Nuclear Fhterial, particularly during the 9407230347 840720 PDR ADOCK 05000142 Q PDR hh ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

) uniquely sensitive period of the Olympicsk would be suspended on condition 2 that every effort be made to remove the Special Nuclear Faterial, the subject of the hearing, from the UCu site prior to the arrival of the Olympic athletes. On the ksis of the stipulated condition, the hearing was cancelled-hearings i which the Board had previously pledged to complete prior to the Olympics j so that any necessary security upgrading could be in place prior to that ! period of elevated risk. In short, in exchange for not resolving the security matters prior to the Olympics, UCu agreed to remove the risk (the SNM), .

                 "before the Olympics if possible."

1 I j 'Ihe particular security concern in question was that sabotage risks i from terrorist acts were particularly high due to the proximity ef the UCu f } reactor a few hundred yards from m e of the main Olympic Villages and Cames 1  : { sites, ksed at UCu, and that the reactor had been widely identified as a t f likely target of terrorist attack at the Olympics. . I  ! s i ' j ' lj UCLA withdrew its application for license renewal one week before the security hearings were to commence, announcing it would permanently close the reactor facility and decomrission it. See letter of June 14 from Chancellor Young to Chairman Falladino. t

Z/ "he stipulation was recited, and the condition ordered, in the Board's j Eemorandum and Orter of June 18.

1 M See, for example, Newsweek and Playboy articles, esched. Expert ] testimony from two former intelligence agents and an expert in intentional i destruction of nuclear facilities was scheduled for the week of Juno 25 1 to detail, the seri ous nature of this threat. That testimony, as well as I other testimony detailing the extraordinary security weaknesses at the facility, was never served (and thus never heard) because of the cancelling of the hearing prior to the due date for such service. j Z

                                                        ~3-CBG had contended, in Contention XX, that security at the UCLA reactor site was grossly inadequate, both to protect against theft of its weapons-grade uranium armi to protect against radi ological sabotage.

Radiological sabotage was of particular concern, it was cade clear during the inherent safety hearings in 1983, because of the densely populated area, lack of exclusion zone and lack of containment structure, vastly elevating potential radiological consequence because the m terials of reactor construction (primarily graphite and mgnesium metal), as well as the aluminum-uranium eutectic of the fuel itself, were combustible, making a Windscale-type fire through arson or use of incendiary devices a very serious hazard because the very large amount of excess reactivity made an SL-1 type destructive power excursion possible, involving extensive fuel ' melting, steam explosion, and reactor disassemblyk the fuel was vulnerable to dissolution through intentional addition of acids or alkali chemicals to the reactor coolantk and because use of explosives, for example through insertion in the reactor's irradiation ports to within inches of the fuel, could do severe mechanical damage to the fuel which could result in substantial fission product release. S/ See, for example, Fanel "1" testimony from October 1983 inherent safety hearings. f/ See affidavit from Professor James C. Warf, November 17, 1982, and Fanel II from 1983 inherent safety hearirgs. {/ See declaration of Boyd Norton, formerly Group Imader of the SPERT project, and Fanel I testimony,1983 safety hearings. 7/ See Panel II tectimony,1983 safety hearings, and UCLA Application, p.

i Estimtes of doses to the public due to any of these potential core disruptions were very high, due to lack of containment structure and exclusion zone and the dense population immediately surrounding the reactor room itself and extending out for miles through Los Angeles. The lack of containment and exclusion compensated for the smiler inventory in terms of doses in unrestricted areast the recent shutdown and other actions have not removed the sabotage risk, as the long-lived isotopes and sabotage scenariossuchasthoseinvolvingincendiaries/arsonareunaffected. CEG's Contention XX, to be the subject of the now-cancelled security hearing, alleged that physical security at the UCu reactor faciliity was grossly insufficient, particularly to protect against sabotage, ard particularly during the Olympics. UCR had asserted that its security plan "is not desigred to provide ;rotection against sabotage" and the Staff had asserted it had not required any such protection. (These st.atements were later found by the Soard to have been material false statements, although the Board declined to find them intentionally so. The accusation occurred after the Board gained access to the UCu security plan and the Staff's scurity inspection reports ard found sabotage protection throughout: subsequently Staff has admitted sabotage protection had been required since at least 1974 b and that even the 1984 inspection manual requires such protection. jo See January 8,1983. declaration by Dr. Jan Beyea, and Fanel IV direct and rebuttal testimony at the Cetober 1983 inherent safety hearings, which estimates, using the standard NRC Reg.

In May, and again in October, the Board denied motions for i summary disposition of Contention XX, setting the contention for hearing. Because time was getting short before the Olympics, CBC requested the Board, as a precautionary measure to keep open its option, order preparatory steps be taken in case, after hearing, the Board should decide the UCLA fuel must be removed prior to the Olympics. Se Board declined to do so, asserting it could not even take the precsutionary step of ordering preparatory steps without completion of the security hearings. It took, however, official notice

;         of the level of terrorist activity and the " unfortunate fact that Olympic l         Canes may provide a focus for such activity."          Noting that the "UCIA Argonaut is located in the midst of the 1984 Olympic Games," the Board pledged to f          expedite resolution of Contention XX to the maximum extent possible and
;         reach a timely determination.

i Hearings were delayed for several months when the Board suspended the proceedings to resolve its accusations against Staff and Applicant , counsel on the nisconduct question, but then evidentiary hearings were 1 1 re-scheduled to commence in Washington, D.C., to hear testimony on issues } related to risks of theft of UCIA's weaponsede uranium, to begin June 21, 1 and then to resume in Los Angeles the week of June 25 to hear testimony i i 3 primarily on sabotage and Olympics issues. 2e Board pledged to reach a decision in time to put any additional security measures that might be found ' necessary in place before the Olympics. One *#eek before the hearings were to begin, UCIA withdrew its

application for re-licensing and requested the hearings te suspended as now j moot. Rey did this, thus, after the bulk of the safety hearings but before

l any final determination of the safety issues, and one week before the  ! security hearirgs were to begin. In fact, five of CBG's seven witnesses had not yet even filed their testimony on the sabotage /Olyppics natters, as the University withdrew its application shortly before testimony was to be served. The Board had ruled genuine issues were in dispute as to the adequacy of UCLA's security, matters that would require a hearirs, but the hearing was suspended in response to the application withdrawal and no evidentiary ruling whatsoever on the sufficiency of UCLA's security has resulted. CBG agreed to UCLA's proposal to cancel the scheduled security hearings, on the condition-to which UCIA ani Staff stipulated-that the fuel be shipped off as soon as possible, before the Olympics if possible. That stipulation and condition were included in the Board's June 18 Memorandum and Order, and on that tasis, the hearings which were to occur before the Olympics were cancelled on the assumption that the driving force behind having the hearirgs before the Olympics-the presence of the fuel on site during that period-would if at all possible be removed. On June 19 UCLA announced it would not comply with the stipulation reached on June 15 ard included in the June 18 Orders on June 20 UCIA's counsel declined to participate in a conference call with the Board and parties to resolve the catter; and on June 22 the Board vacated its June 18 Crder regarding the Olympics, but naintained the suspension of the security hearings which had been premised thereon. It did so on its own motion, without an opportunity for CBG to make known its views on the matter. 22/ See Order of June 18 2)/ In a Memorandun of June 25, the Board explained its vacation of its previous Order (the portion oMering the stipulated-to condition to hearing suspension, leaving. untouched the hearing suspension itself) as asserting CBG had not met its burden. CBG notes that the motion before the Board had been UCIA's for suspension, for which it had the barden of proof, ani that. UCLA's refusal to permit a conference call r:garding enforcing the 3 card Crder led to a situation where CBG was not even permitted to make an enforcement motion, 1st alone respond to any sa, sponto consideration of vacation.

l When UCLA failed to comply with the stipulation made in exchange for termination of the security hearing, and when the Board issued a new , order vacating its previous order instead of enforcing it (but not, as indicated above, vacating that portion of the previous order which suspended the security hearings on the tasis of UCIA's pledge), CBG appealed the Stard's decision directly to the Commission because of the emergency created by the tight frame. 'Ihree weeks remained before Olympic Village opened at UCIA (despite implications to that effect in the Board's June 25 F4morandum, the issue'was removing the fuel prior to the opening of Olympic Village, certainly not during the time the athletes were in residence). Whereas those three weeks prior to the athletes moving in was sufficient time to remove the fuel if the Commission acted quickly, it wculd not be if Conmission action were delayed. CBC therefore raquested in its June 22 Emergency Petition to the Commission that oral briefing be held on June 25lor 26, with an immediate decision to issue thereaf ter. 4 III. Iack of Commission Action Moots Petition: Withdrawn Over three weeks have passed since the Emergency Petition was filed. The Conmission did not schedule oral argument, nor take any other action. Olympic Village opened up last weekend at UCIA, and the athletes have now moved in. C3G's Emergency Petition-which requested offshipment

,      before that dato--is now obviously moot.           CBG withdraws it on that basis, and pray that the lack of action will not result in any untoward events at the Olympics.
