MEMORANDUM FOR: Regiona,1 Assistance Comittee (RAC)

Radiologic'al Emergency Preparedness Task Force (REP) l l

FROM:

j Edwardk. Thomas

, e- RAC Cha i rma n h/ ,

SUBJECT:

FEMA's Seabrook A Submission Attached are two sets of materials. The first is the package wnich FEMA 1

submitted June to the Seabrook Off-Site Atomic Safety and Licensing Board on a, 1987.

This represents FEMA's response to the interrogatories directeo at this Agency, including FEMA's position on the admitted con-(~s

' tentions to this ASt.B proceecing (Appendix A of package). FEMA's posit'.on on the contentions founc,in Appendix A is based primarily on the RAC review perfomeu on : lev. 2 of tne New Hampshire plans submitted to FEMA and the RAC in August of 1986, One area in particular which requires discussion here is FEMA's response to the contentions dealing with the issue of protective actions for the beacn populations around Seabroox. The response to those contentions are founo on pages 38 and 39 of Appendix A. As you will remember, a special RAC meeting was held in Boston on April 15 of this year to deal with the adequacy of the New Hampshire State planning for the beach population.

The end result was basically the adoption of the February 18, 1987 Bores position paper on the Protection of New Hampshire Beach Populations (with very minor modifications) by FEMA and the RAC to support a finding of adequacy for New Hampshire planning in this area (Appendix 0 of attach-ment). A crucial component of this position paper was the inclusion of expert technical opinion, and by assumption future testimony by NRC, on the exceptional nature of Seabrook's containment system which would result in a planning base for Seabrook way in excess of the current 1/2 hour

• mimimum described in NUREG-0654/ FEMA REP-1.Subsequent to the April 15 RAC meeting, it was decided in Washington by NRC that it did not think it wise to include any references to the utility's PRA study and Brookhaven National 1.aboratory's review of that study. Therefore, all references to those two issues were dropped from the February 18 position paper which the RAC reviewed and adopted on April 15.
