SUFFOLK COUNTY, STATE OF NEW YORK AND TOWN OF :
SOUTHAMPTON MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF THIS :
BOARD'S MEMORANDUM AND ORDER RULING ON CONTENTION RELATING TO LILCO'S EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM i
(
I. INTRODUCTION !
Soffolk County, the State of New York and the Town of i
Southampton (the "Governments") hereby move this Board to ;
reconsider its Memorandum and Order, dated February 24, 1988, !
(the "Order") ruling on the admissibility of the Governments' j Contention regarding LILCO's Emergency Broadcast System ("EBS").
II. BACKGROUND On June 11, 1987, the Commission issued a Memorandum and Orderl/ reopening the record on LILCO's EBS plan as a result of the withdrawal of WALK Radio as LILCO's primary EBS station. On November 6, 1987, LILCO filed a Motion for Summary Disposition of the WALK Radio Issue. LILCO's Motion introduced a new EBS, based 1/ CLI-87-5, 25 NRC 884 (1987),
8803140124 880307 PDR ADOCK 05000322 c PDR
l upon a lead EBS radio station located in southern Connecticut.
This Board denied LILCO's Motion for Summary Disposition on December 21, 1987, and directed the Governments to submit conten-tions concerning the adequacy of LILCO's new EBS. The Govern-ments did so on January 12, 1988, submitting a single contention with numerous bases. This Board's February 24 Order denied admittance of Bases 1.D, l.E, 2.B, 2.C, 3 and 4. Among this Board's rulings were: (1) that issues concerning the adequacy and coverage of LILCO's EBS outside the plume exposure EPZ would not be heard; and (2) that facts regarding the extremely low listenership and low credibility of LILCO's EBS were not relevant and could not form the basis for the Governments' Contention.
The Governments move for reconsideration because the Board's Order contains errors which, individually and in the aggregate, unfairly permit LILCO to offer an entirely new EBS without affording the Governments a fair opportunity to raise, and be heard on, the numerous flaws in the new EBS. The Board's apparent narrow interpretation on the .3 cope of the remand is inconsistent with the Commission's remand Order, this Board's own rulings, the Atomic Energy Act's hearing requirements, and funda-mental due process. The Governments say "apparent" because the Order contains little analysis of the arguments made by the Governments in support of the admissibility of the entire conten-tion, leaving the Governments (and any reviewing body) in the dark concerning the precise bases for the Board's rulings.
Accordingly, the Governments seek reconsideration of the Board's 6
rulings on Bases 1.D, l.E, 2.B, 2.C, and 3. Reconsideration is not sought regarding Basis 4.
III. DISCUSSION A. The Board Erred In Limiting EBS Considerations To The Confines Of The Plume Exoosure EPZ
- l. Bases 1-3 In General In considering the admissibility of Basis 1 and its sub-parts, the Board ruled, as a preliminary matter, that the Govern-ments' Contention as a whole would be limited in scope to commun-ication of emergency information to persons within the 10-mile plume exposure EPZ. The Board stated in support of its ruling that it "knows of no requirement in NRC regulations or case law construing them which imposes an obligation on an Applicant to communicate through EBS messages to members of the public outside the (plume exposure) EPZ." Order at 3. The Governments submit that the Board's ruling is clearly in error.
While it is true that 10 CFR S 50.47(b)(5) and NUREG 0654 II.E.6 may limit the garly notificatisn requirement (i.e., sirens and initial EBS messages) to the "plume exposure EPZ," it is equally true that 10 CFR S 50.47(b)(5) p'tovides for establishment of "initial and followup messages to response organizations and the oublic," (emphasis added) not just those persons within the EPZ. Moreover, 10 CFR S 50.47(b)(6) and NUREG 0654 S II.E.5 do not limit the requirement that there be a capability of "prompt communications . . . to the public" and "a system for dissemin-3-
4 i
ating to the public appropriate information contained in initial and followup messages" to those persons within the 10 mile EPZ.
Thus, the NRC knew how to limit its regulation 1 and guidance to the plume exposure EPZ and did so with explicit language when it '
intended such a limitation to apply. Reference to "the public" without such a limitation must therefore be construed more broadly to take into account a broader dissemination of informa-tion.
The Board's Order barely addressed the above argument, noting only that:
NRC's regulatory scheme for emergency planning is premised on detailed emergency planning within the EPZ to the degree that an expansion of response effort can be implemented beyond it if proven necessary. ,
Order at 4. The Board neglected to recognize, however, that there are two EPZs -- a 10-mile plume exposure EPZ and a 50-mile i incestion oathway exoosure EPZ. Both require detailed planning. 6 Egg 10 CFR S 50.47(b)(10); NUREG 0654 Section II.J.11. The Board cites no means other than an EBS to convey emergency information .
to people in the ingestion exposure EPZ. To conclude, as the Board has, that it is not necessary to consider and analyze the ,
adequacy of EBS information disseminated to people at risk out-side the 10 mile EPZ, but in the larger ingestion pathway EPZ, is inconsistent with the regulations.
Even LILCO, in its Plan, has recognized the need to commun- 1 icate emergency information, including "followup messages" to !
1 l
t
s persons outside the plume exposure EPZ.2/ The LILCO Plan does not even limit information to be communicated to persons outside the plume exposure EPZ to that related to ingestion pathway-related protective actions.3/ To suggest that the ability to communicate such information to persons outside the 10 mile EPZ is not required, is inconsistent with LILCO's own Plan and with its position throughout this litigation.
The Board also is off-base when it suggests that the proposed LILCO EBS messages to people outside the plume exposure EPZ contained in LILCO's Plan are simply a nice addition to the Plan which provides a means for an expanded (meaning ad has) 2/ For example, OPIP 3.8.2, S 5.2.2.f on EBS "Message Assembly" instructs the LERO Coordinator of Public Information as follows:
At the direction of the Director of Local Response, obtain from the Radiation Health Coordinator information concerning where ingestion pathway protective action levels may have been exceeded. Develoo a sucole-mentary EBS messaae to inform ceople in these areas of accrooriate actions and where they can call for further information.
(Emphasis added).
3/ Under LILCO's Plan, the information to be communicated to persons outside the plume exposure EPZ includes information such ,
as the boundaries of the plume exposure EPZ, and whether persons outside the EPZ should take protective actions recommended for those inside the EPZ. Thus, for example, LILCO's sample EBS messages contain descriptions of the EPZ boundaries and the following statements:
If you are outside the 10 mile emercency plannina zone there is no reason to take any action. If conditions change in the future, these recommendations may chance and we will inform you immediately.
OPIP 3.8.2, Att. 4 (emphasis added). ,

e :
response beyond the plume exposure EPZ. Order at 4. The Board's basis for this statement is its misperception that all actions outside the 10-mile EPZ will necessarily be "expansions" of l t
actions inside the EPZ. However, the need for detailed planning 7 t
for the ingestion pathway EPZ belies this Board interpretation.
Indeed, the Board's interpretation is directly contrary to the Board's findings in the PID,d/ in which the Board found {
LILCO's Plan for the ingestion pathway EPZ to be adequate:

- 2. Basis 2.C (Incestion Pathway) ,
Basis 2.C of the Governments' EBS Contention cited the lack of EBS coverage in the densely populated portion of the ingestion pathway EPZ directly west of the plume exposure EPZ. We will not repeat the reasons stated above demonstrating the relevance and appropriateness of this portion of the Contention. As the Board noted in its Order at 1-2, the Governments' Contention would be admissible to the extent it "challenge (s) with basis and specificity the adequacy of LILCO's new arrangement for trans-mitting EBS messages and activating tone alerting radios to conduct emergency notification." The Board expressed no concern with the specificity of Basis 2.C; the adequacy of its factual and legal basis has been demonstrated above. Accordingly, the Board's ruling regarding Basis 2.C is in error.
- 3. Basis 3 (Evacuation Shadqwl Pasis 3 of the Governments EBS contention discussed the fact that gaps in LILCO's EBS coverage directly outside of the
~
plume exposure EPZ would cause a significant evacuation shadow phenomenon. The Board dismissed this basis summarily and without analyses of the Governments' prior arguments regarding this basis, ruling:
Even if there were validity to the Inter-venors' claim -- that a significant shadow would develop as a result of the conditions cited -- that issue would have no place before us in our restricted coverage of LILCO's EBS system.
9
4 Order at 7. Assuming that the Board was referring to the geographical restriction it has applied to the Governments' contention, that restriction has no basis for the reasons demonstrated above.
In addition, further reasons exist which require reconsid-eration of the ruling on this portion of the Contention. For oxample, in the PID, when ruling on evacuation shadow issues, the Board did not attempt to create a barrier restricting the need for EBS coverage to the plume exposure EPZ. Rather, in discussing information provided to members of the public who might otherwise evacuate although there was no need to do so, the Board ruled:
The ability of LILCO to manage an off-site emergency response is heavily dependent on its ability to frame appropriate messages and to disseminate them to the oublic. We find here only that LILCO has taken account of the net.d for public notification and has prepared to meet that need.
The Board's ultimate finding on this contention stronalv deoenda on there being clear nonconflicting notice and instruction to the oublic at the time of the accident.
If for any reason, confused or conflicting information was disseminated at the time of the accident, the board accepts that a large excess evacuation on Long Island could materialize.
PID at 670 (Emphasis added).
The "public" discussed in the above passage includes the public outside the plume exposure EPZ; and the way that LILCO had prepared to disseminate information to that public was through the EBS that existed at that time. The Board in the PID thus ruled, in essence, that any shadow phenomenon would be manageable only if adequate EBS information is provided to the public t outside the clume exposure EPZ. Under LILCO's prior plan there was such coverage. Now, however, LILCO's new EBS will not cover those portions of the public that were previously covered, thus leading to the conditions which the Board recognized would result in public overresponse. To suggest that this basis does not contest the adequacy of LILCO's new EBS, which the Board acknowledged is the appropriate scope of inquiry, is thus not only contrary to the facts, but inconsistent with the Board's prior ruling.
B. The Listenership and Credibility of LILCO's EBS Are Relevant to the Adequacy of the EBS.
Bases I.D., I.E and 2.8 relate to the low listenership and low credibility of WPLR-FM and LILCO's secondary EBS stations among the populating Suffolk County. In rejecting those bases, the Board ruled that they "are neither relevant nor do they assist in focusing the matter of this proceeding, 211 the adequacy of LILCO's new EBS system." Order at 5. The Board also found that "(n]o particular regulatory requirement is cited here or elsewhere in support of these particular allegations." 1d.
The Board's Order is both factually and legally erroneous.
First, the Board is wrong when it alleges an absence of Government citations in support of Bases 1.D and 1.E. snose citations are provided in the first paragraph of the Contention
-9_
which cites 10 CFR SS 50'.47(a)(1), (b)(5) and (b)(6), 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix E SS IV.D.2 and 3, NUREG 0654 SS II.E.5 and E.6, and Appendix 3 thereto, and FEMA REP-10. The Governments' Response 5/
a'c 27-33 discusses in' detail why the cited NRC regulations are not met. The absence of any serious review of the Governments' arguments and the cited provisions undercuts the validity of the Board's ruling in this regard. 1 Second, in the absence of any discussion by the Board, the Governments are at a loss as to why issues of listenership and credibility are not relevant to the adequacy of LILCO's new EBS.
The Governments provided numerous reasons why they were, agg Response at 27-33, 36, but the Board failed to address them. In fact, however, what appears to have occurred is that the Board simply decided that it disagreed with the Governments' contention. Sgg Order at 5 where Board states that "it is not clear to us how the listenership rate and public perception l concerning one station in an EBS system has any bearing on the system's ability to accomplish its overall emergency tasks and assignments." Such a decision on the merits at the contention admission stage is clearly improper. Egg cases cited in Response at pp. 10-13.
Third, even assuming that a review of the merits of a contention were permissible at the contention admission stage, it is clear that those issues are very relevant to the adequacy of 5/ Egg Governments' Response to Staff and LILCO Objections to the Emergency Planning Contention Relating to LILCO's New Emergency Broadcast Proposal, Feb. 5, 1988 ("Response").
8 LILCO's EBS. Emergency information and protective action recom-mendations should be perceived by the public as accurate, reliable and from a credible source. PID at 689-91. LILCO itself has so argued throughout this proceeding. Indeed, during cross-examination of LILCO's witnesses on Contention EP 20, it was LILCO's position that persons seeking information regarding a radiological emergency at Shoreham would tune into their local radio stations, rather than New York City or Connecticut stations, because the local stations are viewed as being reliable sources for emergency information. Tr. 5262-65 (March 29, 1984).
The Board provides no reasoned discussion of this matter in the Order.
Finally, the Board's statement quoted above ("it is not clear to us how the listenership rate and public perception concerning one station in an EBS system has any bearing on the system's ability to accomplish its overall emergency tasks and assignments") was made in connection with the Board's discussion of Bases 1.D and 1.E. Bases 1.D and 1.E relate only to WPLR, the lead EBS station. But Basis 2.B addresses the extremely low listenership of the remainder of the stations in the system.
Thus, the only fair reading of the Contention is that the entire system has extremely low listenership and low credibility, but the Board ignored that fact.
The Governments have stated with specificity why the low listenership and lack of credibility they assert are pertinent to the adequacy of an EBS. To the extent the Board is seeking proof of the issues raised by the Governments, the Board is premature.
IV. CONCLUSION The Board should grant the Governments' Motion to reconsider its Order.
