and Safety Issues AFFIDAVIT OF DONALD J. PERROTTI l
I, Donald J. Perrotti, being duly sworn, hereby state as follows.
1.
I am employed as an Emergency Preparedness Specialist, Emerfrency Preparedness Branch, Division of Radiation Protection and Emergency Preparedness, in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
I have been involved in the review and evaluation of the Sealm>ok Station onsite emergency plan and emergency preparedness since January 1986, and serve as the NRC Staff's principal emergency planning reviewer for the Seabrook Station.
A statement of my professional qualifications is attached.
2.
On April 8, 1986, Public Service Company of New IIampshire o
(New Hampshire Yankee Division) submitted to the NRC, " pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 5 50.33(g) and n.4 thereto", a document which it characterized as a " utility plan"; this document is entitled "Seabrook Station Radiological i
Emergency
Response
Plan for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts"
("Seabrook Station RERP").
This document consists of 25 volumes of plans and operating procedures for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, six local communities located within Massachusetts portions of the o
3
J Seabrook plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ), four school districts, and two host communities.
In its submittal, the Applicant requested a meeting with the NRC Staff. "to discuss the submittal and the NRC's review schedule."
3.
In accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding between the Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Staff does not normally review offsite plans submitted by an applicant under 10 C.F.R. I 50.33(g), since such reviews are reserved for FEMA.
In this instance, however, I conducted a preliminary examination of the Seabrook Station RERP, in order to ascertain the nature of that document.
4.
Based upon my preliminary examination, it appears that the Seabrook Station RERP is a copy of the draft state and local plans and procedures which had previously been prepared by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
To my knowledge, the Applicant made only one change to the plan prepared by the Commonwealth, in that the Applicant attached a title page to the plan bearing the legend, "Seabrook Station Radiological Emergency Response Plan For The Commonwealth of Massachusetts"; this page is stamped in bold letters, "FOR INFORMATION ONLY".
l 5.
On information and belief, in the period of 1983-1986 FEMA provided technical assistance to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in l
developing offsite emergency plans for Seabrook, pursuant to which FEMA conducted technical reviews and provided comments on draft state and
local plans.
However, a more detailed analysis of the Seabrook Station RERP would be necessary to ascertain whether this document is identical to the draft plan that was reviewed by FEMA and, if so, whether it incorporates some or all of FEMA's comments.
6.
The Seabrook Station RERP is an extensive plan,
which identifies state and local emergency response organizations and officials who may be called upon to respond to a radiological emergency at the Seabrook facility.
The plan includes a definition of the authorities, responsibilitics and duties of State and/or local planning officials responsible for planning, ordering, and controlling public protective response measures, and is intended to be implemented by these officials.
7.
The Seabrook Station RERP does not contain any description of the Applicant's authority, responsibility and duties in planning, ordering and controlling public protective response measures for portions of Massachusetts located within the Seabrook Station EPZ.
In other words, the Seabrook Station RERP does not contain any " compensatory" measures to be implemented in the event that the Massachusetts state and/or local governments fail to implement their respective portions of the plan.
8.
In addition to submitting the Seabrook Station RERP to the NRC Staff for review, the Applicant transmitted two copies of the plan to FEMA.
On April 24, 1987 FEMA forwarded those copies to the NRC Staff for its " disposition", noting that the "NRC has neither requested FEMA to review these documents nor discussed time schedules or other criteria for i
---w,
-w.,
,-.e n -

such a review."
See " Attachment A" hereto.
Accordingly, at this time, a FEMA review of the Seabrook Station RERP is neither currently scheduled nor in progress.
