ATTACHMEET-
- .m RESPONSE TO DEFICIENCY 50-458/8580-03 s
GSU's 'curre t position-on Protective Action. Recommendations is consistent.with the intent of.the NRC regulations..and guidance..
Although ~neither Title 10 of the Code o4 Federal Regulations nor Part J of NUREG-0654,.Rev.
1 ' requires ~ GSU "to-undertake the c
.responsibilitic's of.the states and parishes," GSU's position
~
concerning the issuance of Protective Action. Recommendations.
(PAR) has been one of thoroughness duslthe possible magnitude of?'
the ramifiestions 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 mustbe4 considered prior to making ~any decision pertainingf;fo' cifsite t actions.
It is GSU's: intent to-use this flow chart-as:a. quide as ;
stipulated at the. top of.the-yhart and in the procedure itself.-
-In accordance with jNUREG-0654, Sections I(H) and I(J) 7, RBS 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 Operatibns 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 an'y protective actions.
til t
z.
-c l
GSU's position, as developed with the stite and parishes (ref.
January 28,- 1987 letter from, Louisiana Nuclear Energy, Division),,-
is.that it is more importantl.'to make a
correct -decision. and-L recommendation than to rush'to a judgement and provide'errBneous i
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 f-it' is the most efficient way to coo'rdinate the decision making process for all parties involved.
