Commissioner Dicus' comments on SECY-97-124.
L I approve option 2.
This option continues the present KI policy of stockpiling KI for emergency workers and institutionalized persons but also recognizes that the State or local governments are ultimately responsibie for-the protection of its citizens.
Therefore, the decisions for stockpiling and use of KI.should be left to the discretion of these governments.
Under this option, the Federal government would establish funding for the purchase of KI. The State and local governments would be responsible for maintenance, distribution and subsequent costs.
Under this option, the Federal KI policy would remain unchanged but the
. Federal funding allows State and local' governments that choose to stockpile KI as an additional protective measure for the general public, (which is properly a State or local, not Federal, decision) to do.so with Federal support for purchase of the KI.
Thus, this option facilitates State and local decision making on o
the matter while leaving the.present policy in place.
Of the two options recommended by staff, it is preferred because It leaves the decision wholly within the State.and local governments and free of Federal influence.
For these same reasons, NRC should not effect a rule that requires KI as a protective measure for the public.
I believe, however, that NRC licensees should be required, as part of the emergency response planning, to discuss this matter with State and local governments who.make. decisions on protective measures as part of their planning for responses to emergencies.
Finally, KI stockpiles should be maintained for NRC employees who are expected to perform first responder responsibilities.
