REASONS FOR GRANTING THIS MOTION Both SAPL Contentions concern Reception Center resources and practices.
Reasserted'SAPL Contention 7 contends that State and local plans fail to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47 (b)(11), 50.47 (b)(10) and NUREG-0654 because means of evacuee and emergency worker decontamination supplies and equipment have not been shown, and there has been ne showing that adequate means for waste disposal exist.
SAPL Contention 7, subsequent to initial admission by the Board was limited by the Board in its Memorandum and Order of November 4, 1986 to the adequacy of personnel and equipment (including that for collection and storage of radioactively contaminated water) to accomplish the monitoring and decontamination of the numbers expected at the decontamination centers located at the Host Community Reception Centers.
SAPL Contention No. 33 Contends that the NHRERP fails to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 6 50.47 (d)(1), 50.47 (b)(8),
50.47 (b)(9),
50."' (b)(10) and NUREG-0654 in that there is no demonstration Chat adequate provisions for the registration and monitoring of evacuees at reception centers will be conducted within about a 12-hour period.
This is due to reducing the number of reception centers from six to four communities to provide support for this effort and that the processing rate of evacuees has not baea established in the plans.
The procedures and equipment for sampling and disposition of waste water for the washing of evacuees and their vehicles are contained in Rev. 2, Vol. 4A, Appendix F of the New Hampshire RERP.
The list appearing in Appendix.
F10 is to verily that the discharge water from decontamination centers does not exceed values for permissible concentrations identified in New Hampshire Rules for Control of Radiation.
Decontamination water is controlled by dilution.
Sampling is conducted to ensure concentration limits are maintained in accordance with New Hampshire Rules for Control of Radiation.
Procedures for environmental monitoring to establish Radioactive material concentration, the equipment used and the personnel assigned deemed sufficient to the task are described in paragraphs 4-5 of Doctor Wallace's Affidavit on Contention SAPL 7.
Equipment required is listed in NHRERP Volumes 4A, Appendices FlO and G.
Contaminated waste on Decontamination Center close-down will be disposed of by the State through established contract procedures with qualified radioactive waste handlers in accordance with DPHS Radiological rules promulgated by DPHS Radiological Health Program.
In regard to SAPL Contention 33 that there are no adequate provisions for registration and monitoring evacuees at reception centers, the Affidavits of Doctor Wallace (Contentions SAPL-7 and SAPL-33), William N. Colburn (SAPL-7 and SAPL-33) make clear that the State will have sufficient personnel and equipment resources capable of monitoring within about a 12-hour period all residents and transients.
