MOTION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL BELLOTTI FOR LEAVE TO FILE RESPONSE TO STAFF LETTER DATED OCTOBER 6, 1983 The NRC Sta f f ha s , through the extraordinary device of a letter to this office (dated October 6, 1983) served on the -

Board and parties to the proceeding, effectively filed a supplenental answer to Attorney General Bellotti's contention relative to emergency planning for the New Hampshire Beach cer.ntni ti es . While objecting to the Staff's failure to move for the right to so supplement its original answer, Attorney General Bellotti hereby requests that the Board accept this brief response to the new objection to admission of the ccntention set forth therein.

8310180373 831012 PDR ADOCK 05000443 Q PDR

In its letter of October 6 the Staff suggests for the first tire that the Attorney General's proferred contention is untitely. The Staff relies in so arguing on NUREG-0654,

' Criterion J.10.m. which, it asserts, indicates that it is the State Plan, rather than local plans, which must ccntain "the bases for protective action decision-making." Attorney General Bellotti has not, however, with his proferred contention challenged compliance with NUREG-0654, Criterion J.10.m. He has challenged, rather, compliance with 10 C.F.R. {50.47(a)(1),

whidh requires that there be reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of an ecergency. The regulation does not specify which plans must provide the requisite assurance and does not, therefore, in any way preclude a contention that local emergency plans do not provide it. Indeed, since the proferred contention relates only to certain New Hampshire communities within the EPZ, it would have been premature if submitted before local plans which might afford the necessary assurances were available.

Respectfully submitted, j ' FRANCIS X. BELLOTTI
