INC Rl(Pl.Y TO YANKEli ATOMIC El ECTRIC COMPANY'S OHJECTION TO AND MOTION FOR RECONSIDFRATION OF A PORTION OF PREHEARING CONFERENCE ORDER Citizens Awareness Network. Inc. (CAN), hereby replies under 10 CFR Pan 2.730 to Yankee Atomic Electric Company's (YAliC) Objection and Motion for Reconsideration of part of the Atomic Safety and 1.icensing Board's Prehearing Conference Order in the license amendment proceeding on YAEC's proposed License Termination Plan (LTP). CAN joins with the New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution in their motion as a citizen intenenor group CAN is participating in this adjudicatory process to represent the interests and protect the health and safety of our commumty.

1. Reply to YAEC's Motion On March 17,1999 the Atomic Safety and 1.icensing Board ( ASLAB) issued a Prehearing Conference Order (Ruling on Contentions) in which it accepted four reworded contentions from the Citizens Awareness Network (CAN) and New England t

! Coahtion on Nuclear Pollution (NCNP). On March 29,1999, YAEC filed a motion for l

! reconsideration of" Contention 4" YAEC claims therem that the ASLAB convened a l

l "soluntary undenaking into the equisalent of a regulatory requirement, in contravention

of the goserning regulations . "'

t

! YAEC claims that its "soluntary undenaking" derives from its status as an SDN5P plant, and YAEC in its motion desenbes itself as meeting the qualifications for SDMP,2 CAN submits firstly that the SDMP Action Plan is mere guidance. It is not regulation, it has not gone through a rulemaking process nor has it been released for public comment. The enchanced rulemaking process referred to by Ms. Ilogdon in the prehearing transcript addressed the Subpan (e) rulemaking, w hich though related in a manner to the SDMP, was not in fact a rulemaking on the SDMP or the SDMP Action Plan.'

Unlike an NRC regulation, it does not constitute bmding legal requirements. The l

SDMP Action Plan in fact states "It should be noted that the Action Plan itself does not contain enforceable standards and is not intended to create new rights or obligations on third panies or to preclude litigation of properly framed issues in any pending proceeding" Therefore, YAEC's commitments in its 1.TP should not be alTected by its claimed SDMP status or its "soluntary " commitments in fact, YAEC's site remediation 8

.. i plan should be examined in light of NRC's new decommissioning rule and the requirements the ru;e establishes for site release criteria for power reactors. CAN recognizes that the NRC rule sets a higher standard for site release dose limits than i- YAEC's LTP commitment and will address this issue in our reply.

CAN submits that YAEC currently does not qualify as an SDMP plant as set out 1 1

in 10 CFR part 20.1401 or under the SDMP Action Plan ' in the SDMP Action Plan summary NRC desenbes the enteria for SDMP plants, which includes " ..the NRC's general expectation that SDMP site cleanup wili be completed within a 4-year timeframe atier operations cease or 3 years aller the issuance of an initial cleanup order.. "' YAEC has been decommissioning the Yankee Rowe site since 1992 and site remediation is far from accomplished Clearly this isjust one of the ways in which YAEC's 4

, decommissioning plan fails to meet SDMP criteria Esen if YAEC and NRC StalT were to be permitted to stretch NRC guidelines to allow YAEC to qualify as an exceptional member of this group, YAEC still would not meet the essential requirements of timeliness and effectiseness. In addition, Mr. Weber in a transcript from NRC states, "So, in the program management plan, we hase ob.iectis es. responsibilities, and resources are specifically caned out in NRC budget, to support this program (SDMP). It also includes the listing of the contaminated sites. People don't like to be listed on the SDMP, because, to some, it's equisalent to being listed on EPA's Superfund list or the national

l l

I l In addition, the SDMP Action Plan states that "[Tlhe SDMP provides a l

comprehensise strategy for NRC and licensee actisities dealing with the cleanup and closure of contaminated nuclear material facilities user which the NRC has jurisdiction.  ;

I (The SDMP does not include more routine decommissioning cases such as nuclear power reactors)"" The power reactors previously allowed to decommission under SDMP were Shoreham and Fort St. Vrain. Both stations had much shorter operational lises and therefore site remediation was not as comptes as it is at Yankee Rowe, which operated for thirty one years.

Funher,10 CFR 20 Subpart (e) excludes sites, w hich :

date of the rule in accordance with enteria identified in the Site Decommissioning Management Plan (SDMP)

w w w y-b before August 20,1999 and in accordance with the criteria identified in the SDMP Action Plan, except that if an EIS is required in the submittal, there will be a prosision for day-for-day extension.

It has yet to be shown that YAliC's decommissioning plan was either written to be SDMP criteria compliant, or that it was approsed by the NRC as such. S'..ither case )

that YAEC cites in its appeal supports its claim that is has been approved to be i considered an SDMP site, and therefore grandfathered under 10 CFR 20.1401 (bX3).

. Neither case eser attempts to addresses the issue YAEC in its LTP executise summary in Revision 1 ofits LTP at page A siii makes a claim that its I.TP will meet SDMP guidelines howeser CAN has found no similar claim for its decommissioning plan.

Whether YAEC can be grandfathered in under 1401 (b) or must meet the 1402 requirements, does not reliese YAEC ofits commitments made in the LTP. Rather than demonstmte a commitment and assurance that its I.TP plan can be etTective, YAEC threatens to withdraw its commitments when its methodology is questioned. YAEC in its LTP committed to a 15 millirem per year dose to the effected population. Now that the methodology for YAEC's calcolations are questioned YAEC maintains that it doesn't hase to n?cet commitments it made repeatedly in its I.TP, as well as in many public meetings, forums, and public relations campaigns, since it claims that it is an SDMP plant and its commitments were s oluntary' The licensee can not have it both ways. It must make good" on its commitments l

1 o

If the LTP is to gain approval then YAEC must honor the commitments it made, 1

and the questions that hase arisen pertaining to methodology employed are both valid and reasonable. It is irrational that the licensee declares that since its commitment is Notuatary", it is not accountable to the regulatory requirements YAEC committed to in its LTP. Once YAEC committed in its LTP to a standart it is obligated rder law to l meet that standard. YAEC should not be permitted to pick and choose between f

d mmmissioning guidelines, regulations, and dose calculations to asoid its commitments. If the licensee can do this, it renders NRC regulations arbitrary and irrational and raises doubts about other commitments made by the licensee. {

l YAEC in its LTP repeatedly'" commits to an exposure me pass salue eil 5 j mrern3 r, yet it now claims that it cannot be forced to meet this commitment. Yankee had previously committed to an exposure rate pass salue of 30 arent'yr", the 15 i

mrent yr, commitment in the LTP is an impros ement that CAN linds laudable. The argument that YAEC now presents, that intenenors cannot have contentions surrounding J

this issue ads tied by the ASLAli, are based on faulty logic. Intenenors do not esen need to contend that YAEC in its LTP proposes to allow levels s'oose or telow either the l

' l 15 or 30 mrem per year exposure rate pass values, or that it is statutorily required, to meet cather for Contention 4 to stand. The contention stands regardless of the issues 4 surrounding Subpart (e) of 10CFR2D Intenenors nierely need to contend that Y AEC l f

L i must be able meet the 15 mrem y r lesel because this is the e.sposure rate pass value that YAEC stated that it will meet and that the methodology laid out in the LTP is not sumcient to meet this standard. This contention does not hinge on whether or not Yankee is required to meet 10 CFR 20.1402 requirements, or whether it is required to make a TEDE analysis. (YAEC would indeed be required under 10 CFR 20.1401 (d) to do a TEDE for the first 1000 peak years). The contention stems from YAEC's decision and commitments in its LTP. The Board, in its decision, properly accepts YAEC's commitment to the 15 mrent > ear TiiDE dose criteria as ruling.'2 If YAEC's commitments i ' its own LTP cannot be considered as ruling when they meet, and even if they excee gulatory standards of what use is the 111'1" YAEC presents the argument that being required to meet its oun standards is penalie.ing it.

-Yankee's soluntary undenaking in this situation...should be encouraged, not penalized. To declare...that if one commits to do more than the minimum you may be held down the road to do more than you have committed to do is to erect a powerful disincentise to makinq....such otherwise laudable and desirable but entirely gratuitous undertakings" '

Requiring that YAEC use a methodology that will in fact allow it to properly meet the standards that it has chosen, and thereby tise up to the I.TP should not been seen as a penalty. YAEC is not being asked, aut would suggest, to do more than it has committed

to do. Indeed, Yankee is being asked to do exactly what it has committed to do, in a manner that will allow it to fully meet its standards if the licensee follows its own logic, that it is not required to meet a 15 mrem /yr

.TEDE, the licensee should be required to retract and res ise its LTP since in its present ,

l form it repeatedly commits to a 15 millirem! per 3 r standard it should resubmit a sersion of the plan which accurately describes what YAEC's commitments are, what methodology it will employ to meet those commitments, and what figures, and dose L calculations the community as well, as the regulators, can be assured that YAEC will meet. . If YAEC does not intend to meet the 15 millirem per year dose commitment that L too should be explicitly stated in the I.TP. Then the ASI.AB could potentially hold e.wther prehearing conference on YAEC's revised and resubmitted LTP. In addition, it must then be determined that YAEC's LTP approval by the StalTwas premature. Since YAEC may then be forced to qualify for decommissioning under NRC's new rule (since the old rule requires LTP approval prior to Augt,t 1999), CAN believes that it is incumbent upon YAEC to stand by its 15 mrem y r commitment, or, the very minimum, meet the 25 millirem! per yr of the new NRC decommissioning rule.

YAEC further argues that since the use of the " gardener" critical group would not etTeet the dose since the dose that must be met is the 25 millirem /per year rather than the

' 15 millerem YAEC "soluntanly committed to We do not agree that the use of the  ;

gardener would necessarily fall below the 25 millirem. In any case, YAEC committed in l its LTP to meet 15. " rem per > ear standard repeatedly.

1 In StatT Responses to Frecuently Asked Ouestions Conceming Decommissionine of Nuclear Powet Reacton" the NRC sta'Tcommerts on the "aserage member of the w : cal group" "The entical group is an indisidual or relatisely homogeneous group of individuals expected to receised the highest exposure within the assumptions of the particular scenario. The aserage member of the critical group is represented by the aserage of the doses for all members of the critical group, which in turn is assemed to represcut the most likely exposure situation. For example, the critical group for a scenario in which people work inside a building would be the group of regular employ ees working in a building that has been decontaminated. If the site were conserted to residential use, the critical group could be people whose occupations in.olve resident farming at the site, not an aserage of all the residents on the site."

indeed NRC Staff go further than the " gardener" scenario and YAEC in its commitments to the community goes further than the " gardener" scenario. YAEC contends that Contention 4 should be reiected as "10 C F R. 20.1402 does not require the calculation of a TEDE for the member of the critical group who is atypically exposed"."' l 1

CAN's contentions do not address calculating atypical exposure. The scenario addressed in the contention contemplates the family farm scenario set forth in YAEC's LTP.

YAEC, in its matic,n, attempts to disregard the hours that would be spent in the field by a farmer. YAEC twhts CAN's contentions in an attempt to make it appear t!iat an atypical member of the critical population would be exposed to residual radiation

contention should hase assened that the aserage member of the critical group is a full-l time gardener Mr. Austin, Chief of the 1.ow Lesel Waste and Decommissioning Projects Branch, came to our community in August of 1994 and told us that

than 15 millirem' yr."" Davis states that this dme includes all exposure pathways. Ilis j example is " .if a person were to build a house on the Yankee site, farm the land...""

First, the family living on the " postulated family farm" is not atypically exposed and the l'

farm is a reasonable and typical scenano for the region.

l Secondly, since the family is consuming 25*. of their crops, one must assume that the remaining 75% of the crops grown on this family farm are sold. YAEC's LTP l

The only dose repeatedly referred to throurhuur the LTP is the 15 mrent'yr.

See LTP sections 2.1,2.4.3,2.4.4,4.4.3. CAN contends that NRC and the ASLAB must require Yankee Rowe's LTP to adhere to a "no more than 15 mrent yr" release criteria.
