UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION BEFORE THE ATOMXC SAFETY AND LXCENSING BOARD IN THE MATTER OF CAROLINA POWER 6 LIGHT COMPANY (Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1, 2, 3 and 4)Docket Nos.50-400 50-401 50-402 50-403 OUTLINE.OF TESTIMONY OF CARLOS G.BELL QUALIFICATIONS Education:

Doctor of Science, Harvard University, 1955.Graduated Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology in 1955.Work and Teachin Ex erience: Taught at Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology for 7 years;and Reactor Safety Division at Oak Ridge for 5 years.Taught at North-western University for 4 years.Taught at University of North Carolina at Charlotte for 4 years.Presently Chairman of Department of Urban and Environmental Engineering, UNC in Charlotte.

SPECXFIC TESTXMONY On contentions C.l(a)and (b): This brief'statement is concerned with certain envi-ronmental monitoring problems'that should be anticipated for the unlikely event of a major release of radioactivity from the Shearon IIarr'is Nuclear Plant.So far as I'now, all who have examined the reactor power problem agree that there is a small possibility that dangerous levels of radioactivity might be released.Al-though there are emergency procedures incorporated in the safety analysis of each plant, they rely, as far as I am aware, upon messages being transmitted from the nuclear plant where the accident occurs to the authorities in nearby centers.1 suggest that population centers that might lie downwind from potential nuclear reactor accidents should have their own independent atmospheric nuclear radiation detection system.Such system should substantially increase the chances that populations could be informed that an acci-dental release-had occurred.
