ATTACHMENT
'
RESPONSE TO DEFICIENCY 50-458/8580-03
GSU's
current _ position
on Protective Action Recommendations is
consistent with the intent of the NRC regulations
and
guidance.
<
Although
neither Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations nor
Part J of NUREG-0654, Rev.
1
requires
GSU
"to
undertake
the
responsibilities
of
the
states
and
parishes," GSU's position
concerning the
issuance
of
Protective Action
Recommendations
-(PAR)
has been one of thoroughness due the possible magnitude of
the ramifications of offsite
protective
actions.
The
current
decision
making
flow
chart
in EIP-2-007, Revision 5, includes
consideration
of
various
items
such
as
special
groups
and
facilities,
road
conditions, and severe weather.
These must be
considered prior to making any
decision
pertaining
to
offsite
. actions.
It is GSU's intent to use this flow chart as a guide as
stipulated at the top of the chart and in the procedure itself.
,
In accordance with
Sections
I(H)
and
I (J) 7,
'
l-
Emergency
Directors
and
Recovery
Managers
can make the PAR's
without interface with the State of Louisiana, if time
does
not
allow.
.However,
it
is
most
prudent to discuss the PARS with
representatives of the State of Louisiana when they
are
in
the
RBS Emergency Operations Facility.
This eliminates confusion and
possible misunderstandings.
In
addition,
the
local - parishes
,
require- that
the
State of Louisiana concur with the PAR before
,
they will implement any protective actions.
GSU's position, as developed with the state
and
parishes
(ref.
January
28, 1987 letter from Louisiana Nuclear Energy Division),
,
is that it is more important
to make
a
correct decision
and
recommendation
than to rush to a judgement and provide erroneous
direction which could adversely affect the health and
safety
of
the general population.
GSU will continue to work with the State
of Louisiana and the five (5) local Parishes in this manner since
!
it
is
the
most efficient way to coordinate the decision making
process for all parties involved.
