APPLICANTS' MOTION FOR

SUMMARY

DISPOSTION OF NECNP CONTENTION NO. RERP-2 Pursuant to 10 CFR S 2.749, on the basis of the Affidavit of Richard H. Strome re NECNP Contention RERP-2

("Strome Affidavit"); State of New Hampshire Answers to Interrogatories of NECNP and the statement of undisputed facts attached hereto, and for the reasons set forth below, the applicants move the Board to enter a decision summarily disposing of NECNP Contention No. RERP-2 in favor of the applicants.

REASONS FOR GRANTING ~

THE MOTION NECNP Contention RERP-2 reads as follows:

"The New Hampshire RERP violates 10 CFR

$ 50.47(b)(3) as implemented by NUREG-0654 at S II.C.1.b in that the t

state has not specifically identified L

all areas in which it requires federal assistance or the extent of its needs; nor has it made arrangements to obtain that assistance; nor has it stated the l expected time of arrival of Federal i

assistance at the Seabrook site or EPZ."

This contention was admitted by the Board "to the extent to which it addresses required Federal assistance to the State." Memorandum and Order (April 29, 1986) at 52.

The Strome Affidavit establishes there are only three areas where federal assistance is required (boat control; air control; shellfish examination); that the U.S. Coast Guard; FAA and some other agency will perform these services; availability and willingness is documented; and there is no arrival time problem with respect to those activities which are time dependent.FAA is "in place" to perform all its duties. The Coast Guard is "in place" to perform its duty to broadcast a mariners' warning. It will have haats on station to control traffic in one to three

' hours. NH Answers to NECNP Interrogatories at 12-13.

Shellfishing can be simply shut down until screening is accomplished.

STATEMENT OF FACTS AS TO WHICH THERE IS NO DISPUTE

1. As set forth in Section 1.4 of thereof, there-are

'three areas in which the State of New Hampshire requires federal assistance in carrying out emergency measures under the-New Hampshire-Radiological Emergency Response Plan

'(NHRERP). These are regulation of boating activities (U.S.

Coast Guard); restriction of overflights of the PEPZ (FAA);

shellfish contamination screening.

2. The availability and willingness of the Coast Guard to regulate boating activities is set forth in a letter of agreement dated February 24, 1986. Coast Guard resources to provide mariners' warnings are in place. Vessels can be in the region in one to three hours.
3. The availability of FAA to control overflights is documented in a letter. FAA will require no " travel time" to be in position to act.
4. The shellfish contamination screening is not time sensitive. Shellfishing activities may simply be shutdown until samples are sent to the appropriate lab and results and analysis returned. Thus " arrival" times are irrelevant.
