ss:
State of North Carolina )
Charles D. Reed, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
1.
I am a Pharmacist employed in the Adult Health Service's Section of the Division of Health Services of the Department of Human Resources for the State of North Carolina.
A current statement of my professional qualifications and experience is attached hereto.
My business address is Room 306, 306 North Wilmington Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27602.
I make this affidavit in response to Eddleman Contention 30.
I have read this contention and am familiar with the substance of the allegations contained therein.
I 8501180403 850114 PDR ADOCK 05000400 Q
pon
i*
b have personal knowledge of the matters stated in this affidavit and believe them to be true and correct.
2.
In my position as Pharmacist in the Division of Health Services, I am responsible for the coordination, planning, procurement, storage and distribution of potassium iodide for the State of North Carolina for use in the event of an emergency at any of the four nuclear power plants that affect North Carolina.
In such matters I report directly to the Director or Deputy Director of the Division of Health Services.
In that professional capacity, I am, and have been, involved in the emergency response planning for the procurement and storage of potassium iodide at the Shearon Harris plant as well as at the Catawba, McGuire and Brunswick nuclear plants.
3.
Paragraph IV.E.6. of the Emergency Response Plan
("ERP") for the Shearon Harris facility provides for the
" Procurement, Storage, and Distribution of Radiological Protective Drugs."
Subsection a of that paragraph provides that:
The Division of Health Services, DHR, will establish a monitoring and replacement program to insure that a sufficient number of potassium iodide units are conveniently and strategically located in the vicinity of the Shearon Harris Plant.
The majority of the potassium iodide units will be stored in the Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Wake County Health Departments under the control of officials in those counties.
The Division of Health Services will coordinate directly with SERT, the counties involved, and Carolina Power and Light Company in order to carry out this program.
SERT will be immediately informed of any significant change in the status of available potassium iodide units.
o s
Subsection b of that paragraph provides that:
The Division of Health Services, will determine the number of potassium iodide units required for emergency workers and institutionalized persons within the plume exposure pathway and will coordinate the procurement of all potassium iodide.
These provisions are essentially identical to those for the procurement, storage and distribution of potassium iodide at the Catawba, Brunswick and McGuire plants.
4.
The Division of Health Services is currently in the process of procuring and storing potassium iodide in the vicinity of the Shearon Harris plant in accordance with paragraph IV.E.6 of the Emergency Response Plan.
The State has decided to store 3,000 units of potassium iodide (each unit consisting of one bottle containing 14 tablets) in the vicinity of the Shearon Harris plant which will be divided among the county health departments in Chatham, Harnett, Lee and Wake counties.
These units (which will be periodically updated due to the limited shelf life of potassium iodide) will be available for distribution to emergency workers and institutionalized persons in the event of an emergency at the Shearon Harris facility that involves the actual or potential release of radioactive iodine.
The State believes that the 4
3,000 units of potassium iodide to be located in the immediate vicinity of the Shearon Harris EPZ is sufficient to handle any immediate response to such an emergency at the facility. i

5.
The Division of Health Services has established a coordinated state-wide plan for the procurement, storage and distribution of sufficient quantities of potassium iodide for emergency workers and institutionalized persons in the event of an emergency at any one of the three nuclear power plants located in the State, Shearon Harris, McGuire and Brunswick, as well as at the Catawba plant located in South Carolina.
As reflected in the ERP provisions quoted above, this is an ongoing process that continues in the event of an emergency.
Since the conditions of a specific emergency will dictate the actual distribution and use of the potassium iodide inventory, this program emphasizes maximum flexibility to ship potassium iodide anywhere, anytime that it is needed.
For example, if an accident were to occur at the Shearon Harris facility, depending on wind direction and other factors, only several of the EPZ sectors may be affected.
In such an event, potassium 1
iodide may be moved from other Shearon Harris EPZ sectors for use in the affected sectors, if the Division of Health Services determines that additional potassium iodide is required for emergency workers and institutionalized persons within the plume exposure pathway.
By the same token, the potassium iodide stored at Brunswick and McGuire would be available for use in the Shearon Harris vicinity if needed in the event of a
. sustained or expanding emergency at Shearon Harris.
At the time Shearon Harris is operational, the State will have 7,000 units of potassium iodide stored in the vicinity of the McGuire _.
plant (which storage is also within the vicinity of Catawba),
5,000 units of potassium iodide stored in the vicinity of the Brunswick plant, and 3,000 units stored in the vicinity of the Shearon Harris plant.
(The storage of 7,000 units in the vicinity of McGuire and 3,000 units in the vicinity of Shearon Harris instead of 5,000 units in the vicinity of each plant is the result of a recent State decision that population differences in or near the respective EPZs warrant such a distribution.)
Additionally, the State is a member of the Southern Mutual Radiation Assistance Plan which provides for the sharing of radiological emergency assistance capabilities by the states located in the southeastern part of the United States in the event of a nuclear power plant emergency in any one of the states.
Among the emergency capabilities to be shared in such an event are the states' respective stores of potassium iodide.
6.
The State has not believed that identification in the ERP of the quantity of potassium iodide to be stored in the Shearon Harris vicinity is either necessary or required by NUREG-0654.
In this regard, the State has not identified in the Emergency Response Plans for either the McGuire or Brunswick plants the number of potassium iodide units stored in the vicinity of those plants.
Moreover, the amount of potassium iodide utored on a permanent basis near a facility may vary for a variety of reasons over a period of time, such as changes in the population of the EPZ.
Additionally,. - -
M identification within the plan of specific quantities of potassium iodide stored at various locations could either be misleading or hamper the State's policy of coordinated usage of potassium iodide units at the place and time where they are needed.
The fact that potassium iodide units may be stored at a particular location within the Shearon Harris vicinity does not dedicate that potassium iodide solely for use in and around that location.
Rather, as explained, those potassium iodide units could, if needed, be used in other locations in the Shearon Harris vicinity or for an emergency at McGuire, Brunswick or Catawba.
(While not formally part of the ERPs, the Division of Health Services does distribute on an ongoing basis information to State and local officials identifying each location within the State where potassium iodide is stored, the specific quantities of potassium iodide stored at each location, as well as the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the persor.s with access to the potassium iodide stored at each location.) -.
s 7.
While the State has not believed that it is either necessary or required for the Emergency Response Plan to specify the quantities of potassium iodide to be stored in the vicinity of the Shearon Harris plant, if the Board were to determine that NUREG-0654 requires such specification, the State would be willing to amend the Emergency Response Plan for the Shearon Harris facility to specify in the Plan that 3,000 units of potassium iodide will be stored in the vicinity of that plant.
