NRC STAFF RESPONSE TO SUFFOLK COUNTY'S FIRST REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS AND FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES TO THE NRC STAFF On ' October 10, 1986 and October 15, 1986, respectively, Intervenor Suffolk County filed a "First Request For Production Of Documents By The NRC Staff And FEMA" and a "First Set Of Interrogatories To The NRC Staff And FEMA".

Discovery against the Staff stands on a "different footing" than discovery with respect to other parties. Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. (Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2)), ALAB-613,12 NRC 317, 323 (1980). With limited exceptions, Staff documents are i

routinely made available in the NRC Public Document Room. 10 C.F.R.

l 5 2.790; Susquehanna, supra. As the Appeal Board indicated .in Susquehanna, supra , such routine disclosure will " reasonably disclose the basis for the staff's position thereby reducing any need for formal i discovery." Additionally, in the context of the EP exercise, as noted in a letter dated March 6, 1986, from Staff Counsel to Counsel for Suffolk County, a copy of which is attached, the NRC Staff turned over all 8611110154 861029 2 j DR ADOCK 0500 g

Shoreham exercise related documents to FEMA as the Agency responsible for grading the exercise. According'ly, the bulk of the Staff / FEMA voluntary responses to Intervenor's discovery requests will come directly from FEMA.

In order to expedite completion of the discovery phase of this proceeding, the Staff will voluntarily respond to Intervenor's Interrogatories and document requests without a finding by the Licensing Board made pursuant to 10 C.F.R. I 2.720(h)(2)(ii). II The Staff does so -

! without waiving its right to require that any future interrogatories and document requests -be submitted in compliance with the applicable regulations.

Statement by Charles G, Amato Emergency Preparedness Section Nuclear Regulatory Comission,' Region I Participation in Shoreham Exercise of the Offsite Radiological Emergency

, Response Plan, LILCO Transition Plan, February 13, 1986.

As the N'RC Region I representative to the Regional Assistance Comittee (RAC) for U,$. FEMA-II, I was tasked to observe Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) functions, During the exercise, I discharged a dual function by observing for both NRC and the RAC. Since the functions observed are the same for both organizations, the dual role did not detract from fully meeting RAC require-ments. My observations stressed EOF information flow, display and distri-bution, dosimetry, use of IE IN 83-28, EAL determination, PAR fonnation, comand and control by the LILCO Response Manager (RM) who manages the EOF, interaction between simulated State and County health officials and the Response Manager . comunication with the Emergency Operations Center (EOC),

applicable Planning Standards of NUREG-0654, and FEMA E0F objectives, I prepared for this assignment by reviewing the original and revised exercise scenario, LILCO Local Emergency Response Organization Plans, the Shoreham Emergency Plan and associated Implementing Procedures, Upon completion of the Exercise and prior to leaving the EOF, I completed the FEMA evaluation forms (three in number), prepared a tine line and per the RAC-II Chairman's policy and request prepared a brief narrative. The narrative was essentially the same as the material I prepared for the NRC. I noted no deficiencies, the tone of the narrative was laudatory, and very few areas for improvement were noted.

During the morning of February 14,1986,1 personally transmitted the above noted material to the RAC-11 Chairman who in turn immediately gave it to a ,

staff member of a contractor responsible for preparing the draft Post Exercise Assessment Report. During the af ternoon of the 14th. I attended but did not participate in a FEMA debriefing for LILCO attended by representatives of New York State, the County and several townships near Shoreham. About a month i

thereafter I received the draft Assessment report, reviewed it and noted elimination of some positive comments in Section 2.2, EOF, and no narrative material. I called this to the attention of my management and the RAC Chairman, I Imediately prior to the exercise, during the exercise and after the exercise, p

I have had no contact with FEMA officials except for the RAC-II Chairman, his ,

j staff members and personnel of supporting contractors.

SIMULATOR INFORMATION
1. The following assumptions apply to all simulators:
e State roles to be simulated will, as much as possible, be consistent with New York State plans for other nuclear power plants and the . manner in which State personnel have participated in other exercise. e Suffolk County roles to be simulated will, as much as possible, be consistent with the manner in which other counties have l participated in other New York facility exercises and the New York State Plan. e For the purpose of this exercise, simulators representing state and local personnel will not assume a response posture, e.g., M ALL TIMES, SIMULATORS WILL ALLOW THE LERO STAFF TO DIRECT ALL RESPONSE EFFORTS.
2. Following are specific simulator assignments:

a. SUFFOLK COUNTY SIMULATORS: .

1. HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE AT THE LILCO EOF. An individual simulating a Suffolk County e technical representative (Health Department) will arrive at the Shoreham Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)
Just after the declaration of a Site Area Emergency (about 45 minutes). That individual will act as a liaison between LILCO and the Suffolk County Health Commissioner and should periodically. brief the County health representative at the Suffolk County EOC to keep him informed of the progress of the emergency. The
e' l objective for the individual playing this role is to obtain l timely Information'fr'om LILCO, e.g., LILCO's ability to .' provide Suffolk County (through this individual) with appropriate information, and to determine if there is adequate space and logistical support for Suffolk County respresentative. In carrying out this role, the individual should contact the County Health Department repre-sentative in the LERO EOC to determine if the information being obtained -there-is consistent with the data being given to him at the EOF. This individual should also contact the County Health Department representative at the FEMA control cell. This individual should not infer that Suffolk County would be taking over any command and control functions ~or accident assess-ment responsibilities. > 2. COUNTY EXECUTIVE REPRESENTATIVE AT LERO EOC. An individual simulating a Suffolk County liaison to the County Executive will arrive at the Shoreham EOC in - Brentwood just after the declaration of a Site Area Emergency (about 45 minutes). That individual will act as a liaison principally between the LERO Director of Local Response and the County Executive. The individual simulating the liaison for County Executive should periodically brief the County Executive (simulator at the: FEMA control cell) to keep him informed of the progress of the emergency and the LERO considerations for protective actions. The objective for this individual is to l -
. f , test the ability of LERO to allow Suffolk County to ,
become involved in the deliberations with regard to making protective action recommendations and implementing those recommendations: e.g., by keeping the County Executive representative informed in a timely manner of the assessment of the situation, progress of the emergency response, and the status of implementation actions. This individual should not infer that Suffolk County would be taking over any command and control functions or decisionmaking responsibilities but rather he should ask the County be briefed on any major LERO decisions: e.g., the liaison simulator should insist that before taking any major actions affecting the public (i.e., sounding the sirens, recommending protective actions to ( the public, etc.) the Director of Local Response should call the County Executive (simulator at the FEMA control cell) to brief him of the contemplated protective actions. .
3. HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE AT THE LERO EOC. An individual simulating a Suffolk County technical representative (Health Department) will arrive l at the LERO EOC in Brentwood just after the declaration of a Site Area Emergency (about 45 minutes). That individual will act as a liaison between the LERO Health Services Coordinator and his staff and the Suffolk County Health Commissioner and should periodically brief the Health Department representative at the Suffolk County EOC (FEMA control cell) to keep him informed of the ,
r .. . _,- _ -- _ y _ _ - - - . - - . _ _ ,
.4
,- status of the accideint assessment and the protective ,'
t actions recommendation being considered by LERO. The objective for the individual playing this role is to obtain
~t imely information from Radiation Health Coordinator (LERO) and to determine if there is adequate space and logistical support for Suffolk County representatives. In carrying out this role, the individual should contact the Count'y Health Department representative in the Shoreham EOF to determine if the information being obtained there is consistent with the data being given to him at the LERO EOC. He should also contact the County Health Department representative (the FEMA control cell). This individual should not infer that Suffolk County would be taking over any command and control aspect part of the accident assessment function. Note, this individual should, shortly after arrival, also inform the LERO Evacuation Coordinator that any information or issues which he feels would be of interest or concern to the Suffolk County Police should be communicated to the County Police representative (simulator) at the FEMA control cell.
4. SUFFOLK COUNTY PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE REPRE-SENTATIVE. An individual simulating a representative of the Suffolk County public affairs office will arrive at the LERO EOC in Brentwood just after the declaration of a
, Site Area Emergency (about 45 minutes). That individual should go to the office of the LERO Coordinator of Public . t
i Information and be the public affairs liaison between the ,- Suffolk County EO'C and the LERO EOC. (Note, a State PIO will not be simulated at the LERO EOC.) The objective for this individual is to test the ability of the LERO public affairs group to coordinate the development and release of press releases and EBS messages with County officials. This individual should not infer that Suffolk County would be taking over any responsibility from LERO in the public information area. Rather,the County would like to review any information that is being released to the public and attend any discussion (s) regarding preparation of_ the same. This individual should keep the Suffolk City Liaison (at LERO EOC) and the County Executive (at FEMA control cell) briefed on.all major items and developments.
5. COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND COUNTY RESPONSE DEPARTMENTS AT COUNTY EOC (FEMA Control Cell). Three individuals will simulate (FEMA control cell)
Suffolk County officials at the FEMA control cell: 1.e.,1) the County Executive; 2) County Health Officer; and 3) other County Departments, as necessary. Other than the RECS calls to actual Suffolk County locations, the rest of the telephone communication between LILCO/LERO
' facilities and Suffolk County staff, will be made to these Individuals. These individuals will, respond in a manner which is, as much as possible, consistent with this exercises' ground rules, e.g., Suffolk County will not take ,
Y
. i .4 over any command / control, accident assessment, decision
( . making, or implementation functions. These individuals
'will. question any informatiot or decisions provided in a deliberate, professional and responsible manner. The simulators will not be limited to only responding to calls placed to them but can place calls to the LERO EOC/LILCO EOF in keeping with their objectives. When the simulators do not feel that they possess sufficient information, such further information should be requested and where it is fel't that the rationale for particular recommendations are- not clear, further explanations should be sought.
The County Executive representative at the LERO EOC will insist that the Director of Local Response call the County Executive (at the FEMA control cell) whenever he is to take any major actions affecting the public. When the Director of Local Response calls, the County . Executive should not infer that he is assuming responsibility for such a decision or approving such a decision. Rather, the County Executive (simulator) should only comment on the decision or basis for the decision, ask for clarification or suggest further areas needing consideration. The simulator should not create a situation where his request may/will delay a LERO protective action decision. (
b. STATE SIMULATORS:

1. pTATE HEALTH 'DEPARTME'NT REPRESENTATIVE AT LILCO EOF. An individual simulating a technical representative of the State Health Department will arrive at the Shoreham EOF after the declaration of a Site Area Emergency (about 90 minutes). That individual will act as a liaison between LILCO and the State Health Depart-ment and should periodically brief the State Health repre-sentative at the FEMA control cell to keep him informed of the progress of the emergency response and accident assessment. The objective for this individual is to obtain timely information and to determine.if there is adequate space and logistical support for the State representa-tives. This individ0al should also contact the State representative at the LERO EOC to determine if the information available to . each representative is consistent. The individual should not infer that the State ,
would be taking over any accident assessment responsibilities.
2. STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE AT LERO EOC. An individual simulating a State Health Department representative will arrive at the LERO EOC in Brentwood after the declaration of a Site Area Emergency (about 90 minutes). That individual will act as a liaison between the LERO Health Services Coordinator and his staff and the Commissioner of Health or his designee in Albany and should periodically brief the State '
t
^g. . \
t Health representative'~at the FEMA control cell to keep y him informed of the progress of the emergency response (accident assessment) and the protective recommendation actions being considered by LERO. The objective for the individual playing this role is to test the ability of the LERO to provide timely information and to determine if there is adequate space and logistical support for state representatives. In carrying out this role, the individual should contact the State Health Department representa-tive in the LILCO EOF to determine if the information being obtained there is consistent with the data being given to him at the LERO EOC. The individual should not infer that the State would be taking over any accident assessment responsibilities. The individual should insist (- that before taking any major actions affecting the public, i- i.e., sounding .the sirens, recommending protective actions, etc., the Director of Local Response should call the State Commissioner of Health (simulator) to inform him of these actions.-
3. COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH OR DESIGNEE AT ALBANY EOC (FEMA Control Cell). An individual.will simulate the Commissioner of Health or his designee at the FEMA control cell. That individual will respond in a -
~
manner which is, as much as possible, consistent with this exercise's ground rules, e.g., the State will not take over any command / control, accident assessment, decision
