Commissioner Megaffigan's Comments on SECY-98-274 l l approve the staff's recommendation to accept the proposal by Commonwealth Edison to l replace their four near-site EOFs with a corporate EOF. I agree with Commissioner Merrifield l
that Commission approval of this request should not be construed as a general approval of centralized EOFs.
The last " Con" item noted by the staff associated with the proposal was the potential need to reevaluate the location of the Lead Federal Agency's JOC or a FRMAC. The NRC should conduct such a review, but it should not be limited to this case. Following a plant emergency, the national media will fight for the closest possible site proximity, and instant and repeated access to those representing the Agency. In any case where the EOF and the media center are not co-located, Lead Federal Agency duties may bec ar.1e unmanageable without thorough planning and preparation. For sites with hardened EOF =,, for example, the media center is actually much further from the site than the EOF and will present very similar problems.
