SUFFOLK COUNTY MOTION TO STRIKE PORTIONS OF LILCO'S GROUP II-B TESTIMONY On March 21, 1984 LILCO filed eight separate pieces of Group II-B testimony.1/ Suffolk County hereby moves to strike portions of that testimony. For the convenience of the parties and the Board, the County has combined its motions to strike portions of the various pieces of LILCO's Group II-B testimony into one pleading.. Each piece of LILCO testimony is discussed separately in Part II below.

The County moves to strike the portions of LILCO's Group II-B testimony identified in Part II of this pleading for one or more of ':he following reasons: the testimony is not rele-vant to the contentions at issue; the testimony is not 1/ The County uses the term " Group II-B" in the same sense as the Board used the term in its March 2,.1984 Order Confirming Schedule Changes.

o probative or reliable;.the testimony is incompetent because it includes statements of legal conclusions or interpretations by unqualified witnesses. These grounds for the County's motions to strike are explained in Part I below, and are applied to particular passages from LILCO's Group II-B testimony in Part II.

I. Grounds for Motions to Strike A. Irrelevancy Section 2.743(c) of 10 CFR states:

Only relevant, material, and reliable evi-dence which is not unduly repetitious will be admitted.

In many instances LILCO witnesses offer evidence that is-irrelevant, because it does not tend to prove or disprove facts that help resolve the issues raised in the admitted contentions purportedly being addressed by the witnesses. LILCO's irrele-vant testimony tends to fall into several specific categories which are discussed below. One general comment on the irrele-vant portions of LILCO's testimony is necessary, however.

The Board and the parties have spent large amounts of time and energy in this proceeding in an effort to obtain very de-tailed and specific contentions, limited and directly tied to a

w particular portions (and even pages or sentences) of Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan and to applicable regulatory requirements.

LILCO has consistently made objections to proposed contentions that, in LILCO's view, go beyond the scope of the LILCO Plan, and the admitted contentions are, in every instance, limited to that Plan. In its testimony, however, LILCO attempts to discuss all sorts of extraneous matters that have no relation to LILCO's Plan or to the contentions at issue. The same rules that have been applied in ruling upon the County's contentions must be applied to LILCO. LILCO's efforts to expand this liti-gation to cover LILCO's political theories, predictions of the future, or its understanding of the contents of plans relating to other nuclear power plans should not be tolerated.

1. Pre-1982 Rejected Suffolk County Planning Efforts Many passages of LILCO's Group II-B testimony address at length matters that allegedly occurred during preliminary Suffolk County planning efforts prior to March 1982. LILCO's Group II-A testimony contained similar passages, and the legal grounds for the County's motion to strike such testimony were set forth in its Motion to Strike Portions of LILCO's Group II-A Testimony, dated March 9, 1984, (hereinafter " Group II-A Motion") at 7-10. That discussion is incorporated herein by 4

reference and will not be repeated. The salient point is that the only issue before the Board in this proceeding is whether Revision 3 of the LILCO Transition Plan complies with applica-ble regulatory requirements (see Order Limiting Scope of Sub-missions, June 10, 1983.) Whether certain County employees several years ago sent letters or took other actions as asserted by LILCO witnesses at various places in their testimo-ny is simply not relevant to the question of whether Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan provides reasonable assurance that adequate protective actions could and would be taken by LILCO in the event of a radiological emergency at Shoreham.

Moreover, as noted in the County's Group II-A Motion, LILCO's attempt to insert into this litigation matters per-taining to alleged County planning materials from prior to March 1982, if permitted by the Board, will necessitate the filing by the County of rebuttal testimony in order to demon-strate that these County materials, which were categorically rejected by the County as inadequate, do not in fact merit any attention. Clearly, this will delay the proceeding and widen the controversy so that the parties will be litigating not just LILCO's proposed Plan and the Contentions that have been admit '

ted by the Board. but also the additional issue of whether the old County planning efforts were good. See discussion at 7-8,

_4-

a including footnotes 3 and 4, of the County's Group II-A Motion.

LILCO's testimony purportedly discussing County activities relating to emergency planning is not relevant and should be stricken.

2. Discussion of Future LILCO Plan Revisions and Predicted Future Actions by LILCO Workers In several portions of their testimony, the LILCO witnesses speculate about future events. The grounds for the f

County's objections to this speculation were discussed at pages 13, 14 of the County's Group II-A Motion, with respect to similar speculative statements in LILCO's Group II-A testimony.

That discussion is incorporated herein by reference and will not be repeated. The question before the Board is whether or not Revision 3 to the LILCO Plan satisfies emergency planning regulationc. What LILCO may or may not do at some unspecified time in the future is mere speculation that cannot provide "as-surance" as required by the regulations.

Group II-B testimony is supposed to address Group II-B contentions. Each of those contentions explicitly refers to, and is based upon, provisions contained in. Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan. LILCO's discussions of'" future plan revisions" or

" future planning activities" are outside the scope of the ad-mitted contentions. If LILCO wishes to litigate a new revision i l l

l l

w of its plan, or some activities it intends to conduct, it should do one of two things: 1) provide a revised plan to the Board and parties so that the existing contentions can be re-vised as necessary to deal with the new proposals; or, 2) sub-mit new late-filed contentions of its own on whatever matters it desires to litigate. Clearly, its discussion of as yet non-existent plan revisions or future intentions is not rele-vant to the admitted contentions on Revision 3, and testimony on those subjects should be stricken.

This Board has stated that the topic of litigation in this proceeding is the "most current emergency plan of the appli-cant." (See Memorandum and Order Regarding Motion for Change in Schedule, Request for Conference Call, and Motion to Compel Discovery, dated November 14, 1983, at 3.) To the County's knowledge, Revision 3 is the most current version. LILCO's ef-forts to litigate non-existent future revisions, or predicted future actions that are nowhere mentioned in Revision 3 are im-proper, outside the scope of this litigation, and should be stricken.

Furthermore, V the the Intervenors nor the Board should be expected to litigate, in ignorance, the predictions by LILCO's witnesses of what LILCO may intend or plan to do in.the

I v

future. Most of these predictions, intentions, hopes and future plans were disclosed to Intervenors for the first time in LILCO's direct testimony. If these matters are permitted to remain in LILCO's testimony, Intervenors will be substantially prejudiced since they will.be forced to litigate " blind" --

i.e., without any discovery concerning the anticipated Plan re-visions or other future actions or proposals discussed by LILCO's witnesses. This Board has stated in the past its aver-sion to " trial by ambush." (see e.g. Tr. 3762.) The admission of LILCO's testimony on its future plan revisions or future actions will result in trial by ambush in the extreme, since not only were Intervenors ignorant of the facts relating to LILCO's future plans until those facts were stated in LILCO's filed testimony, but LILCO, clearly, can change those facts unilaterally even subsequent to the filing of testimony. Tes-timony concerning so-called " plans" that apparently exist only in the collective consciousness of LILCO-has nothing to do with

, the admitted contentions, and violates this Board's prior rulings concerning the scope of this litigation. Accordingly, LILCO's speculation, predictions of the future, and discussion of future revisions or intended actions should be stricken.

3. Discussion of the " history" of planning Large portions of LILCO's Group II-B testimony, particu-larly that relating to contentions 68-71 on schools and conten-tion 72 on special facilities, consist of long dissertations concerning various meetings, discussions, or~ correspondence characterized by LILCO as part of its " planning activities."

There are also over a hundred attachments to this testimony which consist of various pieces of correspondence, many merely form letters, between LILCO and various parties. By and large, these letters and discussions of visits appear to be offered by LILCO as some sort of explanation for the failure of its Plan to include various provisions or to deal with particular problems identified in the contentions. Thus, LILCO att'empts to argue that it is attempting or has attempted to correct cited deficiencies in its Plan by various meetings or conversations, even though LILCO admits that the deficiencies remain.

  • Clearly, the so-called " historical" information and LILCO's discussion of its " planning activities" are irrelevant to the one issue before this Board for litigation -- that is, the adequacy and implementability of the Plan submitted by LILCO. Having hundreds of pages of correspondence admitted

into evidence contributes nothing to the record on the issue of whether the LILCO Plan is adequate and complies with the regu-lations. LILCO's past, present, or future efforts to revise or complete its Plan, or its efforts to blame defects in its Plan on people not meeting with LILCO or refusing its phone calls, are simply not relevant to the Contentions in this proceeding.

The admitted contentions deal with a document submitted by LILCO as a " Plan" which, in LILCO's view, complies with regula-tions. The only point of this. litigation is to review that document to determine if it in fact does comply with the regu-lations by assuring that adequate protective actions could and would be taken in the event of an emergency. Discussions of telephone calls, attempted visits, or conversations that took l

place before, during or after the preparation of the Plan may be interesting, and they may tend to show that LILCO has made efforts to produce an adequate and legally sufficient plan.

But the fact that LILCO made such efforts is not probative of whether the results of the efforts meet regulatory require-ments. That is, whether the LILCO Plan is adequate and capable of being implemented by LILCO in a manner that would provide adequate protection to the public is a separate question from the nature or extent of LILCO's efforts in creating the Plan.

The latter question is irrelevant to this proceeding. LILCO's

  • l 1

Plan is at issue, not how LILCO went about writing it. The admission of testimony concerning the historical development of l 1

the existing Plan, or LILCO's predicted future plans, will 1

result in nothing but extensive litigation of irrelevant and clearly collateral issues.

4. New York State Plan Many passages of LILCO's Group II-B testimony purport to discuss or attach excerpts from the New York State Radiological Emergency Response Plan. As LILCO has itself acknowledged, (see Testimony of Matthew C. Cordaro and John A. Weismantle on Behalf of Long Island Lighting Company on Phase II Emergency Planning Contention 92 (State Emergency Plan), at 4), there is no New York State Plan for the Shoreham plant before this Board, or even in existence. Moreover, as stated in the Board's June 10, 1983 Order Limiting Scope of Submissions, this litigation is to focus on the LILCO Plan, and whether the LILCO Plan can be implemented by LILCO. Discussion of plans by New York State which involve (1) other plants, and (2) imple-mentation by State personnel, local governmental. officials, or personnel from utilities other than LILCO, is simply not rele-vant to the question whether the LILCO Plan can be implemented by LILCO, or to any of the admitted contentions in.this

O proceeding. Moreover, LILCO has not, and cannot through its witnesses, establish a proper evidentionary foundation for the admission of testimony concerning actions or documents of New York State. Such testimony should accordingly be stricken.

(See also Motion of Governor Mario Cuomo, Representing the State of New York, to Strike Portions of the " Testimony of -

Matthew C. Cordaro and John A. Weismantle on Behalf of Long Is-land Lighting Company on Phase II Emergency Planning Contention 92 (State Emergency Plan)" and Statement of Governor Mario Cuomo, representing the State of New York, in Support of the "Suffolk County Motion to Strike Portions of LILCO's Group II-A Testimony," dated March 9, 1984; and NRC Staff Responses to Ap-plicant, Suffolk County and New York State Motions to Strike Portions of Group II-A Testimony, dated March 16, 1984.)

5. Discussion of Other Nuclear Facilities LILCO's Group II-B Testimony seeks to argue, in several places, that because LILCO believes something is done a particular way at other nuclear power plants, it is proper or adequate at the Shoreham plant. This testimony is, again, sim-ply not relevant to the issues presented in the admitted con-tentions in this proceeding, nor in the County's_ view, is it at all probative or reliable. First, the LILCO witnesses provide i
  • I no data to demonstrate that they are competent to testify about other plants other than the assertion that "as emergency plan-ners we . . . take into account emergency plans for other nu-clear facilities." Hence, the discussion of other plants does not constitute reliable evidence and should be stricken. See 10 CFR S 2.743(c).

Second, LILCO makes no attempt to document or explain the facts or circumstances involved in drafting or implementing plans or procedures at other plants, much less how those facts (which are not disclosed) or the other plants' procedures provide data relevant to particular contentions concerning the LILCO Plan. If this testimony is not stricken, the County sub-mits that it is without probative value but, out of caution, the County will need to probe the assertions made, resulting in litigation centered on emergency planning at other plants rath-er than at Shoreham.

B. Nonprobative and Unreliable Testimony Portions of LILCO's Group II-B testimony are unreliable and of no probative value. In many instances the witnesses testify about matters concerning which they do not claim to have personal knowledge or expertise, and they cite no indepen-dent basis for their statements. For example, LILCO's k

witnesses assert, without reference to any supporting facts, that school administrators in and near the EPZ have determined that the LILCO Plan fails to provide adequate protection for the children under their charge because of alleged political pressure. (See LILCO's Testimony on Contentions 24.E, 24.F.2, 24.F.3, 24.M, 61.C, and 68-71 (Schools), at 27-28.) Similarly, they purport to interpret statements allegedly made by witnesses in other NRC proceedings, without citation to any official record or other authoritative source for their asser-tions. (See, id., at 44.) In these instances the offered LILCO evidence is nothing but the unsupported conjecture and speculation of LILCO witnesses, and as such it is unreliable, not probative, and should be stricken.

C. Testimony Consisting Of Legal Interpretations or Conclusions In some portions of their Group II-B testimony, LILCO's witnesses discuss and interpert NRC case law, and in other passages they interpret the requirements of various regula-tions. As was discussed more fully at pages 2-6 of the County's Group II-A Motion, and as has been recognized by this Board (Tr. 2407, 2482-83), LILCO's expert witnesses in this proceeding are not qualified nor are they permitted, to submit such testimony. The discussion contained in the Group II-A l

Motion is incorporated herein by reference and will not be repeated. Discussions of cases and legal interpretations of cases and regulations are for lawyers' briefs, not testimony by non-lawyer witnesses.

II. Motion to Strike Specific Portions of LILCO's Group II-A Testimony A. LILCO's Testimony o6 Contentions 24.E, 24.F.2, 24.F.3, 24.M, 61.C and 68-71 (Schools)

l. Purpose section, second and third sentences

^

This passage discusses the rejected pre-1982 proposals of individuals in the Suffolk County Planning Department and alleged actions by New York State at other plants. This testi-mony is not relevant to any of the contentions purportedly addressed in the testimony (24.E, 24.F.2, 24.F.3, 24.M, 61.C and 68-71) each of which deal with LILCO's Plan for the Shoreham plant. The referenced passage is also unreliable and of no probative value, since the witnesses have no demonstrated competence for testifying about either Suffolk County planning activities or New York State actions relating to the Indian Point plants. It should be stricken for the reasons set forth in Parts I.A.1, I.A.4, and I.B above.

s t

2. Answer 8, last paragraph i

This passage is irrelevant, purely speculative, and with-l out probative value. LILCO's present willingness to " consider" in the future, a desire that "might" be expressed by "enough" superintendents in the future, does nothing to prove or dis-prove the adequacy of Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan as it per-tains to schools. It should be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 above.

3. Answer 9, last sentence This passage is unreliable, speculative, and not proba-tive. The witnesses offer no basis for their assertion that school superintendents "will" act as suggested in this state-ment. None of the witnesses is a school superintendent, and they do not refer to the opinions of any superintendents.

Moreover the only school administrator to testify on behalf of LILCO is not affiliated with any of the districts located outside the EPZ, which are the only districts discussed in this passage. The witnesses' belief is unsupported conjecture, and should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.B.

t

4. Attachments 6-10 LILCO's testimony does not in any way describe, discuss,

authenticate, explain, or establish the relevance, materiality,

. or accuracy of Attachments 6-10 or their contents, other than I

to state at page 12 " Attachments 4-10 to this testimony provide information about these schools (in seventeen districts."]

. Contrary to LILCO's apparent belief, testimony is not merely 4

comething to which any documents, of any nature, can be atta-ched, without any foundation, discussion or stated relation to the subject matter, with the expectation that they are automat-ically admissible as evidence. LILCO has not even attempted to meet a threshhold standard of laying a proper foundation for the relevance and admissibility of Attachments 6-10, and they should be stricken.

Moreover, assuming arguendo a proper foundation for admis-sion of the documents were established, a review of the Attach-ments 6-8 shows that their contents,-that is " contact lists" showing the nature and purpose of unidentified " contacts" (the i names of persons involved in the contacts apparently have been redacted), has no relevance to the contentions being addressed by the witnesses, and should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.3 above. In addition, with so much information redacted, the documents have been rendered meaningless. And,.

the information contained in Attachments 6-8 appears to be re-peated, in large part, in Attachment 9. Furthermore, the.-

1 l

n

" Remarks" column in Attachment 9 has no relevance to any issue in the admitted contentions, and should also be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.3 above. Finally, Attachment 10 appears to have no relevance to the contentions at issue since it involves schools outside the EPZ. The testimony contains no discussion about Attachment 10 or explanation of its relevance f

or purpose. There is no basis for admitting Attachments 6-10 into evidence.

5. Question and Answer 11.

This question and answer are irrelevant, speculative, unreliable and not probative. First, they are irrelevant be-cause the question of what Suffolk County or New York State "would be likely to do" if they "were to do a radiological emergency plan for the schools in the Shoreham EPZ" has nothing to do with any issue raised in Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C or 68-71, which is the supposed subject of this testimony.

The speculation called for and provided oy the witnesses is not relevant at all to the ability of LILCO to implement the LILCO proposals for schools, which is the subject of the contentions being addressed. Moreover, admitting this testimony would be contrary to the Board's June 10, 1983 Order Limiting Scope of Submissions.

Second, the testimony is unreliable and of no probative value, because the witnesses have not established and do not possess the competence or basis for testifying about the capabilities or intentions of the State of New York or Suffolk County. The challenged passage is unfounded conjecture. Thus, the challenged passage is irrelevant, because the supposed capabilities of New York and Suffolk County have nothing to do with the question of LILCO's ability to protect school children in the event of a~ radiological emergency at Shoreham, and it is non-probative unreliable speculation. It should be stricken l

for the reasons stated in Parts I.A and I.B above.

6. Questions and Answers 12, 13 and 14, and Attachments 11 and 12 These passages on'pages 16-18 of'LILCO's testimony are ir-relevant and should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.3 above. A historical discussion of how the LILCO Plan

" originated" has no relevance to any issues raised in Conten-tions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C or.68-71. The discussion in these j . portions of LILCO's testimony has nothing to do with.the ade-quacy or implementability of the protective actions for schools that are in Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan, which are the only issues raised by the contentions supposedly being addressed in this testimony. The testimony-is simply' irrelevant and should be stricken.

Furthermore, the discussion of alleged " beliefs" of Suffolk County, alleged " considerations" by schools, and alleged " decisions" by school districts, all in 1980, is also irrelevant to the admitted contentions which concern Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan. And, the LILCO witnesses have no competence -

or basis upon which to speculate about the " beliefs," or " con-siderations" of Suffolk County or schools in 1980 or at any other time.

Moreover, the assertions by LILCO witnesses about alleged beliefs and considerations are unreliable and have no probative value. The assertion that some unidentified school administra-tors made alleged determinations is double hearsay, based sole-ly on an out-of-court written statement of an unidentified County employee, which purports to repeat out-of-court expres-d sions of the opinions of unidentified school administrators.

There is no basis for a finding that the statements by LILCO's witnesses are reliable.

Attachment 11 consists of four unsigned letters, dated July 31, 1980, September 5, 1980, and January 15, 1981 (two).

The LILCO testimony contains no information authenticating these documents, explaining their relevance to the contentions at issue, nor are any of the parties referenced in the letters l

l l

e-witnesses in the LILCO panel. There is no evidentiary foundation whatsoever for the inclusion of these letters in the LILCO testimony. The witnesses are not competent to provide such foundation or to sponsor their admission into evidence.

1 There is no basis for admitting these u6 signed and irrelevant documents into evidence.

Attachment 12 is an unlabelled set of 10 pages, identified by the LILCO witnesses as "pages from the draft plan prepared by the County planners." (LILCO Testimony at 17-18). Again, there is no information which in any way links the 10 pages of words comprising Attachment 12 to the admitted contentions in this proceeding, or establishes any evidentiary foundation for admitting them into evidence. The author of those words is not identified, the date they were written'is not provided, and there is no indication that the LILCO witnesses have any basis upon which to discuss those pages or their contents, or to characterize them as "from a draft plan prepared by County planners." Moreover, there is no indication in the LILCO tes-timony or in Attachment 12 itself that-the contents of Attach-ment 12 have any probative value to the contentions at issue, which deal with the adequacy and implementability of LILCO's I

proposals contained in Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan. There is simply no basis for admitting it into evidence.

7. Question and Answer 17 i

This question, "Is LILCO wedded to this particular plan?"

I i is irrelevant as is the response, which consists of gratuitous I comments about how LILCO might change its plan in the future.

Testimony in this proceeding is supposed to address specific admitted contentions each of which deals only with Revision 3 of LILCO's Plan. Question and Answer 17 provide no information or data that is probative, material, or relevant to any matters raised in Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C, or 68-71. It should be stricken for the reasons set forth in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 above.

8. Question and Answers 18, 19 and Attachment 13 These questions and answers consist of a rambling disser-tation about LILCO's intentions in drafting its Plan and corre-spondence and visits by LILCO to school officials. It has no relevance to the contentions purportedly being discussed in the testimony, nor does LILCO even attempt to link it to those con-tentions. It has no probative value whatsoever, and should be stricken for the-reasons stated in Part I.A.3 above.

Attachment 13, characterized by LILCO as "a detailed his-tory of LILCO's school emergency planning effort" is similarly m

l

.~

irrelevant. Contrary to LILCO's apparent belief, what is being litigated in this proceeding is not "a history" of emergency planning -- it is the adequacy and implementability of one particular document which LILCO has submitted to this Board.

The admitted contentions are directed to specific portions of that document, and raise specific factual issues. Admissible testimony must address those contentions and the issues raised in them. If there were any admitted contentions concerning the history of LILCO's planning activities, how LILCO went about creating its Plan, or who LILCO has met with about emergency planning, LILCO's testimony and Attachment 13 could arguably be admissible with respect to such contentions. However, there are no such contentions in this proceeding. The referenced testimony and Attachment 13 have no probative value with respect to the contentions at issue, or to Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan, and they should, accordingly, be stricken for the reasons set forth in Part I.A.3 above.

9. Answer 22, everything after the word "No" The fact that LILCO's Plan is not complete, as LILCO admits in its negative response to question 22, is arguably relevant to the contentions at issue since, for instance, Con-tention 70. alleges that the LILCO Plan fails to identify 1

t reception centers for school children.. However, the rest of Answer 22 is not probative, material, or relevant to any issues in the contentions supposedly being addressed. They are 3

gratuitous and speculative comments (e.g., the federal government can be expected to continue updating and amending i

the guidance it offers"), that fail to address any matters at issue in this litigation. They should be stricken for the reasons set forth in Part I.B above.

10. Question and Answer 23 This passage is not relevant to any admitted contentions.

It also has no probative value, since it deals in purely.specu-

lative possibilities of unidentified future actions by LILCO that are dependent upon unidentified future actions by other-people. The assertion that "LILCO has always been willing" to discuss " financial and other assistance" with school districts, although LILCO cannot say now what assistance it might provide, because no school districts have requested assistance or iden-tified needs, no discussions have occurred, and no terms have.

been negotiated, is of no probative value, and should be

stricken for the reasons. stated in Part I.A.2 and I.B above.

11. Question and Answer 24, and Attachments l 37, 38 and 41 i This answer relates to LILCO's " planning activities" -- it has nothing to do with the contents of Revision 3 of LILCO's Plan, which is the subject of the admitted contentions which this testimony supposedly addresses. Answer 24 and the attach-ments referred to therein are not relevant or probative.

Specifically, the fact that LILCO's staff (not the staff of the emergency response organization LERQ 2 /) now includes a new individual has no bearing on Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61, or 68-71. Similarly, proposed " generic guidance on shel-tering" (Attachment 37), " sample procedures" (Attachment 38) and a " preliminary sample plan" (Attachment 41), all documents apparently prepared by LILCO with the intention of giving them to schools, are irrelevant to the admitted contentions. The proposed and sample documents are not a part of Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan, which is the subject of the admitted conten-tions, and they have not been adopted by any school districts.

There is no basis for bringing them into this litigation. They are simply irrelevant, and should be stricken.

2/ "LERIO" is another suborganization set up within LILCO.

It is separate from LERO, and its purpose is to write and revise the LILCO Plan.

l Moreover, these documents have not been provided to the County by LILCO in discovery, and the County first learned that LILCO intends to rely on them in this proceeding when it received the LILCO testimony. If LILCO now seeks to litigate these new proposals and procedures rather than Revision 3 of the Plan, the existing contentions must be revised to reflect such new materials. In any event, admitting this testimony and attachments would result not only in " trial by ambush" but also in wasteful and improper litigation of " proposed" plans, that have not been finalized or adopted by anyone, rather than liti-gation of admitted contentions relating to the Plan LILCO has submitted to this Boa'i d for review. The testimony and Attach-ments 37, 38 and 41 should be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 above.

12. Question and Answer 25 A review of the question reveals the impropriety of this testimony. It is: "Do you think pre-emergency planning for schools can be successfully accomplished?" The speculation of LILCO's witnesses on whether schools may, or are capable, of doing something in the future is not relevant' or probative to l Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C or 68-71. Even though Con-tentions 61.C.1 and 70 refer to LILCO's erroneous assumption i

. j 1

1

. 1 i that " pre-emergency planning" has been done by schools, the  ;

i only issue raised in those Contentions relating to such preplanning is whether such preplanning has taken place, not whether LILCO " believes" or " thinks" schools may do such planning at some unspecified future time. If such testimony were a proper response to admitted contentions relating to specific inadequacies in a submitted plan, the entire NBC liti-gation process would be a farce. An applicant's testimony would always consist of a statement that -- "you're right, our plan doesn' t deal with that problem but we think we might be able to change it in the future." Clearly, LILCO's opinion as to the likelihood or capability of schools to perform planning in the future, with or without LILCO's help is simply not rele-vant to the question whether an adequate implementable plan exists now. This LILCO testimony should be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 above.

Moreover, the discussion by LILCO's witnesses about sup-posed " pressure," the " difficult position" of school authorities and the like, is not only irrelevant, immaterial and not probative, but is totally without basis, improper and out of place in expert testimony. In effect, the passages on-pages 27-29 constitute a baseless personal attack on the i

i character and verity of those school officials who have stated l

i

.26 -

t

..w

_ -, -- y, _e-

D that they do not believe the LILCO Plan provides adequate protection for the children in their charge. The LILCO testi-mony implies that at least some of those school officials do not really believe the LILCO Plan is inadequate, but have in-stead taken that position publicly for some improper political motives. Such personal attacks and baseless ascriptions of im-proper motives should not be tolerated by this Board. This testimony, from individuals who have no basis for opining as to the " feelings," " dilemmas," or " desires" of school authorities, is not appropriate, nor is it probative, reliable or relevant.

It should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.B above.

L Furthermore, LILCO's witnesses' speculation as to what, in i their view "makes sense" to school authorities, (bottom of page 28), and what they " expect the school officials to recognize" and "to be influenced" by ( top of page 29), as well as the fact that LILCO "has made it clear" that it would " shoulder" the planning burden for schools, is also irrelevant and has no pro-bative value with respect to the admitted contentions. All of answer 25 should be stricken.

' Finally, the assertion that the State of New York requires I radiological emergency plans of schools, contained in lines 17 through 22 of page 28 and referring to Attachments 15, 16 and l

~

17 is an improper legal conclusion. The LILCO witnesses are 1

not lawyers; they are neither qualified nor capable of presenting or interpreting New York law. In addition, there is no evidentiary foundation laid in the testimony for the admis-sion of the documents which constitute Attachments 15, 16, and

17. The LILCO witnesses are not the authors or receipients of the documents, and there is no indication in the testimony or the Attachments of their relevance to the schools in the Shoreham EPZ, or to any matter addressed in the contentions at issue. Standing alone as they do, the Attachments have no pro-bative value. This portion of the testimony, and Attachments 15, 16 and 17, should be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.B and I.C above.
13. Answer 27, last two sentences This portion of LILCO's testimony constitutes incompetent speculation, without any stated basis, as to the " feelings" of school officials. The LILCO witnesses have no qualifications which enable them to provide such opinions, and their unexpert speculation has no probative value. Moreover, the abstract

" feelings" of school authorities have no relevance to the issues in Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C or 68-71. This passage should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.B above.

14. Answer 30, first senctence In this sentence the LILCO witnesses interpret NRC regula-tions. As discussed in Part I.C above, such testimony is im-proper for non-lawyer expert witnesses in the proceeding, and this passage should be stricken.
15. Answer 38, first sentence, all of page 36 except lines 1-7, all of page 37, and all of answer 38 on page 38 except lines 12-19 The first sentence of Answer 38 should be stricken for the reasons set forth in Parts I.A.1, I.A.3, and I.A.5 above. The discussion on pages 36 (beginning "Moreover, we felt . . .")

and 37, consisting of what LILCO's witnesses " felt that Suffolk County should reasonably be expected to support" and a series of quotations from testimony in other proceedings is not rele-vant, material or probative and should be stricken for the reasons set forth in Part I.B above.

First, the " feelings" or " expectations" of LILCO's witnesses about what the County " supports" are not releva;:t or probative, particularly since the County has itself expressly stated its position on the record, and it is that the LILCO early dismissal proposal stated in the LILCO Plan does not provide adequate protection for school children.. These expec-tations and feelings of the LILCO witnesses are simply not probative of anything.

1

F e

  • Second, a string of isolated quotations, without cita-i tions, allegedly from testimony in other proceedings, which ap- l l

parently concern some unidentified plans, for other power j plants, in other locations, to be implemented by persons other than LILCO, under unidentified conditions and circumstances, has no relevance to this proceeding and no probative value whatsoever. The mere fact that.the statements are allegedly by a gentleman who was a witness for suffolk County on Role Conflict (not on schools), and the fact that the quotations talk about families, does not establish the necessary founda-tion to make the string of quotations relevant or probative to Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C.1 or 68-71, or to this pro-ceeding. Without any explanation or discussion of their context, why or how the matters or facts pertaining to the other testimony from which the quotations are taken are perti-nent to the LILCO Plan or the admitted contentions, there is no basis for admitting this string of quotations. They should be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.5 and I.B above.

Third, LILCO's citation of a FEMA " hope" (bottom of page 37 and top of page 38) is not probative or relevant either.

The quoted testimony by a FEMA witness in no way discusses the adequacy or implementability of the-LILCO Plan. It is a gratuitous and meaningless comment that has nothing to do with

~

the admitted contentions in this proceeding. Indeed, the mere fact that the FEMA witness stated his " hope" that an early release option would be " considered" at Shoreham, in light of the fact that when the FEMA testimony was written, the LILCO

, Plan already contained an early dismissal option, is evidence of the fact that the FEMA witness could not have been address-ing'the LILCO Plan. See also, Tr. 3604, 3605, in which Mr. ,

McIntyre, the author of the quoted testimony, stated that he had not reviewed the LILCO Plan.

Finally, LILCO's statement on page 38 that "the Indian Point licensing board found that the State of New York appeared to be enthusiastic" about something involved in the Indian Point proceeding, is not relevant or probative either. It-should be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.5 and I.B above. First, this is a bald assertion, without citation or reference to any document. It appears to be unattributed double or triple hearsay with no reliability. More -impor-tantly, the " appearance" of the State of New York's "enthusi-asm" with respect to an unidentified aspect of a plan for a different power plant, has no relevance to the admitted conten-tions in this proceeding, which deal with specific aspects of a particular Plan -- Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan. Moreover, the State of New York has itself made its position clear with-

~

i l

l O

o respect to the LILCO Plan at issue here: it believes the Plan is inadequate and unworkable. The referenced portions of l Answer 38 should be stricken.

16. Answer 40, last two sentences This portion of LILCO's testimony reads:

We have developed a questionnaire, Attach-ment 43, that will be distributed by BOCES.

The information from the completed ques-tionnaires will provide the material needed for more detailed planning.

This passage should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above. It is not relevant to the admitted contentions which deal with the Plan now before the Board. If, in the fu-ture, LILCO revises its Plan as a result of "more detailed planning," at that point the contentions can be modified to deal with such revisions and those revisions and the results of the questionnaire then can properly be litigated. LILCO's ap-parent intention to have a questionnaire distributed at some-time in the future, and its intention to use the non-existent results of the undistributed questionnaire to change its Plan in the future are not relevant to any issue in Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M. 61.C or 68-71, and are of no probative value.

17. Attachment 43 This attachment consists of a cover letter and several en-closures which describe or are part of LILCO's past and future planning activities. Included is a memorialization of a meeting at which, according to LILCO, the provisions of the LILCO Plan concerning schools were described and new LILCO pro-posals for evacuation were discussed, a proposed sample evacua-tion plan, and a questionnaire that LILCO hopes schools will complete and return. The fact that LILCO met with school rep-resentatives and the information that was communicated at that meeting are not probative of whether Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan is adequate or can be implemented. Similarly, a proposed evacuation plan that LILCO describes as a " sample" plan that is not in Revision 3 and has not been adopted by any school dis-tricts, and a questionnaire that might be distributed in the future in order to obtain information that might be used to develop plans in the future, are irrelevant to this proceeding.

Moreover, pages 13 through 16 of Attachment 43 are identical to Attachment 41. For the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 above, Attachment 43 should be stricken.

18. Answer 46, first sentence This portion of the LILCO testimony reads:

According to New York State witnesses in the Indian Point proceeding, New York State Education Law requires that the school be furnished with the identities of other adults who will take care of school chil-dren if a parent is not home during an early dismissal.

This testimony constitutes gross and unreliable hearsay and should be stricken because it has no probative value. The ref-erenced LILCO passage does not identify the alleged "New York State witnesses," provides no citation to the alleged testimo-ny, docs not indicate the context in which the alleged testimo-ny was given, and the alleged testimony is not quoted. This vague paraphrase of an out-of-court statement by unidentified individuals has no probative value, cannot be cross-examined, and should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.B above.

19. Answer 51 This testimony should be stricken because it is not rele-vant to the contentions purportedly being addressed by these witnesses (i.e., Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C, and 68-71). Contention 61.C is the only contention that deals with I

'a

, i

sheltering in schools. However, a review of that contention reveals that the referenced LILCO testimony fails to address any of the issues raised in that Contention, which are limited to the following: a) whether the LILCO Plan indicates how a sheltering order could or would be implemented by school authorities; b) whether schools have performed " preplanning" that makes them capable of implementing a sheltering recommen-dation; c) whether schools have basements or suitable shel-tering areas for large numbers of children; d) whether the LILCO Plan contains information concerning sheltering capacities or shielding factors; and e) whether children would have access to shelter if a sheltering order were made after the beginning of an early dismissal. Clearly, LILCO's discus-sion of " generic guidelines" allegedly established by LILCO, but which are not in the Plan or in any school-adopted plan, has no relevance to the admitted Contentions, and should be stricken.

20. Answer 52 The testimony should be stricken for the reasons set forth in Parts I.A.2 and II.A.10 above. There is no connection between this testimony and the admitted Contentions.

21. Answer 55 1

1 1 This portion of LILCO's testimony, which responds to the question "how likely is it that immediate evacuation of school students would be required?" is not relevant to any issues 1

raised in the contentions purportedly addressed in this testi-4 mony. Contentions 70 and 71 deal with evacuation of schools, i and raise several specific issues concerning the imple-mentability of LILCO's proposal for school evacuations. That contention does not raise the question of the probability that.

i immediate evacuation would be required, nor is the discussion l

4 of such an issue appropriate in an emergency planning proceed-ing. The premise behind the NRC requirement that there be an

emergency plan is~an assumption that an accident happens.- l

) Moreover, it is required by the regulations that the plan l contain provisions to deal with evacuation of mobility impaired 4

populations including schools. Accordingly, the discussion by 1

l LILCO's witnesses of the likelihood that evacuation of school u

! students would be necessary is both-irrelevant to the admitted contentions, and irrelevant in this1 proceeding. Answer 55 should be stricken.

22. Answer 56, last sentence i This sentence states, "A general emergency with projected offsite doses of 5 rem or more is the most severe and the least likely of the several emergency classes." For the reasons discussed in Part II.A.21 above with respect to Answer 55, this statement has no relevance to the admitted contentions in this proceeding. Moreover, it has no apparent relevance to the pre-coding portion of Answer 56. It has no probative value and should be stricken.
23. Answers 58 and 59 These portions of LILCO's testimony should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above. They are not relevant to admitted Contentions 70 or 71, which deal with school evacu-ation. First, Question 58 itself is absurd on its face. The question states, "How will you be sure that bus drivers can find the reception centers, assuming the schools fail to plan for evacuation?" The fact is, as LILCO itself admits, there are no reception centers identified in the Plan. Therefore, testimony concerning how bus drivers could find nonexistent re-ception centers, and the preparation and distribution by LILCO of maps to nonexistent reception centers is ridiculous. More-over, this LILCO testimony deals solely with proposed LILCO

{ actions in the future. The discussion by the LILCO witnesses,

f Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan. Revision 3 of the Plan i

) identifies no reception centers for school children, says

nothing about LILCO " incorporating" things into school authori-ties' procedures, and says nothing about LILCO preparing or distributing maps of bus routes. This testimony bears no relation to the reality which is the, subject of'this. proceeding

-- i.e., Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan. If LILCO wishes to lit-f 4 igate some new proposals such as.those suggested in Answer.58, i

it should inform the parties and the Board by revising under i

the Plan. Then contentions can be appropriately modified and

) litigation can proceed on those new proposals. Given the.ex-i isting contentions, however, Answer 58 is irrelevant and should

{ be stricken.

i The same arguments apply with respect to Answer 59, which l~ purports to respond to the question "How will the parents know to which reception center their children will be bussed?" . As i

l noted, there are no reception centers in LILCO's current Plan.

speculative, without any basis in Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan, and therefore not relevant to any admitted contention in this proceeding. It should also be stricken.

24. Answer 62 l

The first sentence of this response reveals that the tes-timony is not relevant to any admitted contention, and that it 4 .

is not probative or material evidence. That sentence states, 4

l "Since the process of planning for an evacuation of schools is j

still ongoing, our response must focus on the planning steps currently under consideration." The answer then goes on to discuss various information which has not yet been obtained by LILCO, and two planning " options" which are "under considera-tion," but neither of which have been adopted either by LILCO or by any schools. Clearly, this testimony is not based on anything in Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan nor is it relevant to

.I.

any issues raised in Contentions 70 or 71 which deal with evac-uation of schools. Should LILCO at some point obtain the information which as yet it has not obtained, complete its i

planning process which it admits is not yet completed, and/or choose one of the two options which it presently may be consid-i ering, it should at that point revise its plan so that the con-tentions can be modified and litigation can proceed. At this 39 -

l 6

point, however, unless LILCO chooses to submit late filed contentions of its own, the matters discussed in Answer 62 are simply irrelevant and that testimony should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above.

25. Answer 63, all of the second paragraph, except the first sentence This testimony discusses (1) a questionnaire which LILCO hopes will be distributed at some time in the future to school districts, and (2) a statement that in an emergency LILCO "would seek from school superintendents the release" of certain buses, and that LILCO "is confident" that officials would agree to LILCO's request. The testimony is not relevant to any issue in Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C or 68-71. Once again, it refers to future actions which LILCO may decide to take, and speculation by LILCO witnesses concerning future actions by schools, that are neither referenced nor included in Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan which is the subject of this litigation. The referenced testimony is-not relevant or probative and therefore should be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2, II.A.16 and II.A.17 above.

26. Answer 66 This testimony asserts that LILCO intends to " offer" training and equipment to school bus drivers and teachers. It should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above.

It does not relate to any of the Contentions that this testimo-ny supposedly addresses, and it discusses only future actions by LILCO that are not contained in Revision 3 of the Plan.

27. Answer 67, last three sentences This testimony discusses future training of LERO bus driv-ers, and future " cooperation" by LILCO with actions by superin-tendents of school districts, that may or may not take place, at some point in the future. For the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above, this testimony is irrelevant and should be stricken.
28. Answer 70, all but first sentence This testimony must be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above. The speculative and irrelevant nature of the testimony is revealed by the first sentence which the County seeks to strike: "The locations to which the children will be taken will ultimately be the decision of school officials." As LILCO admits, there are no reception centers identified in the 41 -

LILCO Plan. LILCO's discussion of different alternative i

proposed provisions; for schools plans, depending upon what de-cisions may be made in the future by school officials as to re-ception centers, is pure speculation, not based on anything contained in Revision 3 of the Plan, and therefore of no rele-i vance to the admitted Contentions in this proceeding. The tes-timony has no probative value and should be stricken.

29. Answer 79

[

. This entire answer should be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2 and.I.B above. The discussion-is pure.

l speculation, and has no probative value. The " judgment" of the LILCO witnesses that the Suffolk' County Community College would be available as a relocation center "without.a doubt" defies i

belief. Under the law of Suffolk County, which the President

of Suffolk County Community College.has stated.in testimony lhe intends to obey, the College cannot be used to implement the LILCO Plan. The position of Suffolk County and the Suffolk County Community College with respect to the availability of j that facility as a reception center has been stated and docu-I mented in this record. .The " judgment" of these LILCO' witnesses that the President of the College would-disregard or violate the law is preposterous,.not. probative, irrelevant and should-be stricken.

Similarly, the discussion concerning LILCO's need "to find an alternate relocation center," and its discussion of "one possibility" is not relevant to the contentions in this pro-ceeding, and should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above. There are no "possible," or for that matter "def-inite," relocation centers for school children identified in Revision 3 of the Plan. The discussion in the testimony con-cerning the "possible" use of SUNY-Westbury is a totally new LILCC proposal offered for the first time in this testimony.

If LILCO desires to revise its plan to designate SUNY-Westbury as a reception center for Shoreham-Wading River school chil-dren, it should do so. The contentions can then be revised and that matter can then properly be litigated. In the absence of such an action by LILCO, however, its testimony concerning the use of SUNY-Westbury is speculative and not probative of-any issue material to this proceeding, and should be stricken.

30. Answer 80, last sentence in second paragraph, last sentence in third paragraph, entire fourth paragraph These portions of LILCO's discussion of the existing go home plan for the Little Flower Elementary School must be stricken for'the reasons stated in Section I.A.2 above. The first portion states "We plan to send a health physicist to the school to confirm this." This is a discussion of something LILCO intends to do in the future; it is not included in Revi-sion 3 of the Plan, and therefore is not relevant to the admit-ted contentions or to the subject matter of this litigation.

The second portion which states, "If upon further investi-gation it appears that additional vehicles are needed, LILCO will buy the school a vehicle or vehicles that require no spe-cial drivers' license, so that any teacher can drive them," is similarly speculative, without basis in Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan, and not related to admitted contentions or to any exist-ing plans for the Little Flower Elementary School.

Finally, the last paragraph of Answer 80 discusses what LILCO describes as "our current plan, which is, of course, subject to approval by the school," to send students to a LILCO operations center in Greenlawn. First, this clearly.is not an existing plan since, as admitted by LILCO, it has not been

.o approved by the Little Flower School. It is nowhere contained -

or referenced or mentioned in Revision 3 of the Plan, and the County did not learn of the existence of this proposed use of the operations center until it received the LILCO testimony.

This proposal is an improper subject of testimony in this pro-ceeding. Furthermore, the entire discussion of what "would" or "could" happen at the LILCO operations center if the school were to approve this new proposal by LILCO' at some point in the future, is speculative, without basis in the record, and not probative with respect to contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C.1, or 68-71, which all deal with proposals in Revision 3. It should be stricken.

31. Answer 81, last paragraph This testimony states that LILCO "will make available" someone to survey nursery schools and to advise them how to shelter. This testimony should be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 above. The testimony concerns proposed future actions by LILCO and assumptions and presump-tions by LILCO witnesses concerning locations of children in-the event of an accident. It is peculative and has no proba-tive value. Moreover, this testimony is not relevant to the specific issues set forth in Contention 61.C.1 which deals with sheltering. See Part II.A.19. It should be stricken.

32. Answer 83, portions on p' age 76 This section of LILCO's testimony should be stricken for l

the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 above. First, it discusses future actions which LILCO would be "willing" to take if the Rocky Point School District, in the future, were to re-quest LILCO's assistance. Second, it states that LILCO "would be prepared" to provide advice and maps relating to reception centers after LILCO, sometime in the future, "makes arrange-ments" for the existence of reception centers. These vague, generalized, and essentially meaningless speculative statements about possible undefined actions in the future have no proba-tive value, no connection to Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan, and no relevance to the admitted contentions in this case. This testimony should be stricken.

33. Answer 85, last two sentences 4 This section of LILCO's testimony must also be stricken t

for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above. It states that in .

the f uture LILCO "will make available" various . personnel ij[ in the future the school district so requests, and ij[ in the f u-ture the school district " feels" it needs such personnel. This is purely speculative, not based on anything contained in Revi-sion 3 of the Plan,-and not related to any admitted contentions in this proceeding. It should be stricken.

34. Answer 89, til except the first sentence This testimony, contained on pages 82 and 83, consists of nothing but a historical discussion of various correspondence, thank you notes, telephone calls and visits made by LILCO per-sonnel to nursery schools. The discussion says nothing about the contents of the LILCO Plan, the implementability of the Plan, or even the contents of any of the nursery schools' plans. Thus, this testimony has no probative value because it contains no information that is relevant to the specific issues raised in Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C.1, or 68-71. It should be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2, l

I.A.3, and II.A.4 above.

35. Answer 90, all of page 84 except the first sentence, and last three sentences of Answer 90 on page 85 This section of LILCO's testimony must be stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 above. The first por-tion ( the first paragraph of Answer 84 beginning with the sentence "Moreover, all of them . ._."), discusses attempted contacts between LILCO and nursery schools, and what LILCO calls "the planning process." It does not_ discuss the LILCO Plan or existing school plans which are the subject of_this litigation. It is not relevant or. probative and should be 47 _

a stricken. The second portion (the paragraph on page 84 beginning "In an emergency, . . . ") is speculation (i.e., ,

schools "could be" advised to do certain things which "should present" no "special" problems). It also deals with future actions by LILCO (i.e., providing people to survey and provide advice to schools). These matters are not relevant to the ad-mitted contentions which deal solely with the existing Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan, not proposals, predictions or intentions that LILCO may have for the future. Finally, the last portion of the last paragraph of Answer 84 (on page 85 beginning "Our plan in the event that Kids-R-Us continues . . . is again speculation concerning what LILCO intends to do in the future.

The proposal contained in this portion of the testimony is not l

contained in Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan and therefore is not relevant to this litigation. It should be stricken.

36. Answer 91, last sentence This section of the LILCO testimony states:

"The school officials do seem willing to do further planning, however, and LILCO will set up meeting to work with the school to develop the plan, provide a health physi-cist to survey the school building for sheltering locations."

This testimony, on its face, it is not relevant to the admitted

W contentions which deal only with the existing LILCO Plan and specific alleged inadequacies in that Plan. This testimony discusses some future plans of LILCO intended "to develop a plan" in the future. The purpose of this litigation is not to litigate a proposal to develop in the future a plan with unidentified provisions. The purpose is to litigate the plan that LILCO has submitted. If LILCO wishes to withdraw that Plan, and submit a different one in the future after one has been developed it should do so, and then submit this testimony.

Given the existing contentions concerning Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan, however, this testimony is purely speculative, not related to the existing plan, and therefore not relevant to this litigation. It should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above.

37. Answer 92, last two sentences This portion of the LILCO testimony again discusses future actions by LILCO, and should be_ stricken for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 of the testimony. As noted in the testimony itself, it concerns LILCO's prediction that "LILCO will be available to work with the school district to further refine the plan," at some point in the future, and that LILCO will make individuals available and provide advice concerning various matters in the future. This speculation about future actions has no relevance to the existing plan upon which this litigation is based.
38. Answer 93, last two sentences of middle paragraph on page 89, and last paragraph on page 89.

These sections of LILCO's testimony are not relevant. The first portion discusses procedures for a nuclear attack, which have no relation to anything involved in this proceeding. The discussion is irrelevant and should be stricken. The last paragraph of Answer 93, which is contained on page 89, is an-other statement of what LILCO will do in the future if school officials wish to avail themselves of LILCO's services. Such intentions of LILCO concerning future actions which are contin-gent upon some other future actions are not relevant or proba-tive of any issue in the admitted Contentions which deal with Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan. The testimony should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above.

This section of the LILCO testimony once again deals with future actions by LILCO contingent upon other actions taking place in the future. It also contains speculation concerning what the LILCO witnesses believe would be "the obvious choice" l for a reception center which, as admitted by LILCO, has not been designated. The discussion is not relevant for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above. It should be stricken.

40. Answer 99, last sentence For the reason stated in Parts I.A.2 and II.A.31 above, this sentence concerning LILC 's willingness to make personnel available in the future is not relevant and should be stricken.

Questions and Answers 9 and 10 Questions 9 and 10 ask:

Do you believe it is possible to plan for a radiological emergency at Shoreham where school children are involved?

and l

Is your school district willing to work' with LILCO to make plans for the schools in the event of a radiological emergency at the Shoreham Station?

These questions have nothing to do with the Contentions purportedly addressed in this testimony (i.e., Contentions 24.E, 24.F, 24.M, 61.C, and 69-71). Those contentions allege that various specific provisions in Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan are inadequate and that LILCO has not obtained agreements a from schools to implement that plan. The witness' belief that "it is possible to plan" and his willingness to work with LILCO to make such plans in the future, are simply not relevant to the issues raised by the contentions in this proceeding. If the witness and LILCO do develop plans for schools at some time in the future, LILCO should at that time submit those plans to

'the Board so contentions could be modified to address those new proposals. Such plans do not exist at this time, and clearly cannot be litigated. The referenced testimony is irrelevant and should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above.

C. LILCO's Testimony on Contentions 24.J, N, 72.C, D and 96.B (Planning for Special Facilities)

1. Purpose section, second and fourth sentence.

These portions of LILCO's testimony discuss so-called

" planning activities," and proposed future activities intended to result in plans in the future. They should be stricken for the reasons in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 above. They are not rele-vant.

2. Answer 8, last two sentences; Answer 9, first two sentences, and last sentence; Answer 11, last sentence; Answer 12, all but first sentence; Answer 19, first paragraph and last paragraph; Answer 21, second paragraph; Answer 22, all but first sentence; Answer 25, second, third, fifth and sixth sentences; Answer 28, last sen-tence; Answer 34, first paragraph except last sentence These passages describe LILCO's so-called " planning activities" and various actions and efforts LILCO intends or hopes to accomplish in the future. They are all irrelevant for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3 above.- Meetings LILCO has had, correspondence between LILCO and others, ar-rangements LILCO or others may attempt or hope to make in the future, and the revisions LILCO might make to its Plan in the future are not material to the matters at issue'in this i

l l o proceeding. The contentions supposedly addressed by this piece of LILCO testimony do not address the methods used by LILCO in developing the LILCO Plan; they address specific aspects of the results of those methods: Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan. Evi-dence that proves that LILCO has or intends to engage in so-called " planning activities" is irrelevant. Relevant testimony must address the existing Plan, and the specific deficiencies identified in that document. Discussion of proposals LILCO may make, after further planning results in developed plans simply contributes nothing of any probative value with respect to the admitted contentions, and it should be stricken.

If at some time in the future LILCO's future efforts produce results that are incorporated into the LILCO Plan and submitted to the Board, the contentions can be modified accord-ingly and the adequacy and implementability of the resulting plans can be litigated. At this time, the referenced testimony and attachments should be stricken.

3. 6-7, 9-36, 38-41, Attachments 3-4,3/

44-46 and 69-98 These attachments purport to reflect LILCO's past and in-tended future " planning activites." They should be stricken.

First, as with its testimony concerning schools, LILCO appar-ently expects this Board to approve the wholesele admission of almost one hundred documents despite LILCO's failure to establish any evidentiary foundation to support their rele-vance, authenticity, or materiality. Many of those documents

-were neither signed by, addressed to, or, apparently, even copied to any of the witnesses who offer them as evidence.

LILCO has not even attempted to establish an evidentiary foun-dation for most of these documents. Indeed, LILCO's witnesses do not even bother to discuss most of these documents. They merely note the attachment numbers in parenthetical references.

The submission of testimony is not a vehicle for the admission into evidence of any document LILCO would like to see in the record. Because LILCO has not established a foundation for ad-mitting those attachments, they should be stricken.

3/ None of the copies of this testimony received by Suffolk County contained Attachments 26 and 30. However, judging from their titles, which are listed in the index of at-tachments, they are simply more of tne type of irrelevant letters that constitute almost all LILCO's attachments.

h Further, even if a proper foundation had been laid, these attachments, which purport to reflect LILCO's past and intended future " planning activities," still would not be admissible, because they are irrelevant.4/ As discussed in Parts I.A.2 and I.A.3, LILCO's so-called " planning activities" are not relevant to the issues raised by the contentions supposedly addressed by this testimony. How LILCO worked to develop its Plan and what it might do in the future simply do not tend to prove whether Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan is adequate or could be imple-mented in a manner that would adequately protect the public.

Similarly, many of these attachments consist of multiple copies of identical cover letters and "thank you" notes which have no probative value. These attachments should be stricken because they are irrelevant and because no proper foundation has been laid for their admission as evidence. The County notes that it has not moved to strike LILCO's Attachments, 5, 37 and 42.

These attachments contain statements from persons affiliated with health facilities in the EPZ to the effect that they do not agree to implement LILCO's proposals, and thus they are arguably relevant to Contentions 24.J and 24.N.

~4/ For example, Attachment 11 is a letter to a special facil-ity located in the vicinity of the Indian Point power plant, asking for copies of that facility's plans and letters of agreement with respect to a possible accident i at Indian Point.

l -

4. Answer 8, first sentence; Answer 19, first sentence on page 17 In these passages and this attachment, LILCO witnesses interpret regulations of the NRC and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. As discussed above in Part I.C, such legal conclusions are improper testimony from those witnesses. Therefore the challenged passages and attachment should be stricken.

D. LILCO's Testimony on Contentions 60, 61, 63 and 64.

1. Purpose section, second sentence of first paragraph; Answer 9, except first sentence These portions of LILCO's testimony purport to state "why" ,

LILCO included selective sheltering as a protective action in the LILCO Plan. Such a discussion is not relevant to the specific and limited issues raised by Contention 60, which this portion of the LILCO testimony purports to address. Contention 60 states that the LILCO Plan " falls to set forth guidelines to be used by command to control personnel: (a) in choosing to recommend the protective action of selective sheltering; or (b) in determining the individuals who should or would be subject to such a recommendation."- Contention 60 also alleges that "there are no procedures [in the LILCO Plan] which indicate the means by which such a recommendation would or could be i

f

implemented." The matters discussed in the referenced portions of LILCO's testimony -- that is, that selective sheltering is included in the LILCO Plan "to provide the flexibility to adapt to a State recommendation for selective sheltering, should the State choose to respond to an emergency at Shoreham," is simply not relevant to the three specific issues raised in Contention 60.

Moreover, as this Board has already ruled, the subject of this proceeding is the LILCO Plan, not any plan or proposal by LILCO that assumes the participation of New York State or any other governmental entity. See June 10, 1983 Order at 3. The LILCO testimony is not relevant, probative or material and should be stricken.

2. Question and Answer 10, and Attachment 2a Question 10 asks: "What does the New York State radio-logical emergency plan provide regarding selective sheltering?"

The answer consists of a purported quotation from what is de-scribed as the New York State Plan and references to an attach- ,

ment which appears to be a portion of some radiological emer-gency response plan.5/ This testimony and the Attachment are

~5/ Despite repeated requests from the County LILCO bas not yet provided the County with a copy of the New York State Plan which it has provided the Board. Accordingly, the, County is unable to verify the origin of the Attachment.

clearly irrelevant for the reasons set forth in Parts I. .4 and II.D.1 above and is covered by this Board's ruling of June 10, 1983. The testimony and Attachment do not address any issue raised in Contention 60 nor do they address any iss'ue relevant to this proceeding. Therefore, they should be stricken.

3. Question and Answer 12

, This testimony, by Dr. Mileti, appears to be some kind of follow-up to certain portions of his testimony relating to the evacuation shadow phenomenon concerning risk messages. It has no relevance whatsoever to the issues raised in Contention 60, which are set forth in Part II.D.1 above. Although he does discuss " selective sheltering" in his answer, he does not address the Plan's f ailure to set forth guidelines to be used by command and control personnel in recommending the protective action of selective sheltering, or the Plan's failure to include procedures for implementing such a recommendation.

Thus, the testimony is not relevant or material to Contention 60 and should be stricken.

1

4. Answer 14 This answer once again is based upon an assumed New York State participation in,an emergency response. The response is premised upon the issuance by New York State of a protective action recommendation. It is thus not relevant to Contention 60, and it violates the Board's June 10, 1983 Order. The Answer should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.4.
5. Answer 18, text on page 20 following table, and Attachment 5 This discussion of shielding values which according to LILCO's witnesses "will be incorporated into the LILCO Transi-tional Plan's protective action procedure OPIP 3.6.1," presuma-bly, in some future plan revision, should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above. Contention 61 is based upon the current version of the LILCO Plan -- that is Revision
3. The assertion by LILCO that the Plan will be revised has no relevance to the existing contention. Should Plan revisions be made and submitted to the Board and parties, the contentions then could be modified. At that point whatever new values LILCO then proposes to use with respect to sheltering could be litigated. Given the existing contention and the existing Plan, however, the referenced testimony is irrelevant and chculd be stricken.

6. Question and Answer 26 This question calls for, and the answer consists of testi-mony concerning "every other emergency plan for power plants

. operating in New York State." Such testimony is not relevant to Contention 61, which is purportedly being addressed in this portion of LILCO's testimony. Contention 61 deals only with the Shoreham plant and, specifically, the adequacy of the pro-4 tective action of sheltering under the LILCO Plan. Protective actions proposed for any other power plant in New York State, or in the country, have no relevance to Contention 61 or this proceeding. The testimony should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.5 and because it is not relevant, material or probative.

7. Question and Answer 32 This testimony by Dr. Mileti is essentially the same as that contained in Question and Answer 12 above and should be stricken for the same reasons. See Part II.D.3. It has no relevance to Contention 63, which is purportedly being addressed. Contention 63 deals with three specific allegations concerning the protective action of selective evacuation under the LILCO Plan. The Contention alleges that the Plan fails to set forth guidelines-to be used by command and control f

i personnel in choosing to recommend selective evacuation or in 4

determining, identifying and locating the individuals who should be subject to such a recommendation. It also alleges that the Plan does not include procedures indicating the means by which such a recommendation could be implemented. Dr.

Mileti's testimony concerning public responses to a selective evacuation advisory has no relevance to. Contention 63 and should be stricken.

8. Answer 33, second and third sentences This portion of LILCO's testimony is essentially identical to the testimony in Answer 9 and should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part II.D.1 above. Discussion of the reason selective evacuation is included in LILCO's Plan and the as--

sumption that New York State might participate in the emergency response at Shoreham is outside the scope of Contention 63, in violation of prior rulings of the Board, and should be stricken.

~

I

r 4

9. Answer 34 and Attachment 10 This answer and Attachment are essentially the same as the Answer 14 and Attachment 2, and should be stricken for reasons stated in Parts II.D.2 and II.D.4 above. The answer assumes participation by New York State in the offsite emergency re-sponse; and therefore, it is not relevant to Contention 63 and it violates the Board's June 10, 1983 Order. In addition, the referenced Attachment 10, which purportedly consists of some pages from the New York State Radiological Emergency Response Plan has no relevance to this proceeding. See Part I.A.4 above. .
10. Question and Answer 38 and Attachments 11 and 12 This testimony is irrelevant. It responds to the question "Do guidelines provided by New York State to nuclear plants require such evacuation out to seven miles?" The testimony purports to address Contention 64; however, there is no refer-ence in Contention 64 to any New York State guidelines with respect to nuclear plants. Therefore, the' discussion by LILCO's witnesses concerning alleged guidelines provided by New York State has no relevance to the issue presented in Conten-tion 64. Moreover, Attachments 11 and 12, which are excerpts from depocitions, are not relevant.or probative with respect to

I

~

Contention 64. The contexc of the witnesses' statements is not provided, and taken an isolation, individual statements are meaningless. LILCO has also failed to establish the necessary, or for that matter any, evidentiary foundation for the admis-sion of the excerpted bits of testimony. The deponents have submitted no testimony in this proceeding, so the depositions cannot be used for purposes of impeachment. There is no evi-dentiary basis for admitting either the referenced testimony or Attachments 11 or 12, and they should accordingly, be stricken.

11. Answer 46, second sentence, and the first clause in the last sentence on page 44 (i.e. "No protective action will result in zero dose at any nuclear power plant in New York State or in the country,"

These portions of the conclusion of the LILCO testimony should be stricken for the reasons discussed in Parts II.D.1 and II.D.6 above.

Y a

E. LILCO's Testimony on Contention 81 (Ingestion Pathway)

1. Answer 6, last sentence on page 11, and last sentence in first paragraph on page 12.

These two portions of Answer 6 in the LILCO testimony concern the State of New York Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. For the reasons stated in Part I.A.4 above, this testimony is not relevant. Contention 81, which the LILCO testimony purports to address, deals only with the LILCO Plan, its adequacy and LILCO's ability to implement it. Discussion of the contents of a New York State Plan has no probative value with respect to the specific issues raised in Contention 81.

Accordingly, these portions of LILCO's testimony should be stricken.

2. Answer 13, last sentence on page 21 This portion of the Answer to question 13 also refers to the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan, and some recommendations purportedly contained in that Plan.

This testimony should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part II.E.1 above concerning Answer 6.

7 9 - n i t -

V

3. Answer 17, last paragraph on page 25 This portion of LILCO's testimony again deals with the New 1-York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan, and purports to compare that Plan with LILCO's Plan. For the reasons stated above in Parts I.A.4 and II.E.1 this testimony is not relevant to the specific issues concerning the LILCO Plan that are raised in Contention 81. It should be stricken.
4. Answer 20, second sentence This portion of LILCO's testimony, like the portions discussed above, deals only with the New York State Radio-logical Emergency Preparednes; Plan. It is irrelevant to Con-tention 81 for the reasons stated in Parts I.A.4 and II.E.1 above and should be stricken.

i l l

i

5. Answer 24, fifth and sixth paragraphs (last paragraph beginning on page 35 carrying over to page 36, and the paragraph on 36 headed [Miele])

This section of LILCO's testimony should be stricken for the reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above. It is a discussion of various resources which LILCO purportedly "could draw upon" in the event of a radiological emergency. None of these resources are mentioned in Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan or relied upon therein. They are therefore not discussed in Contention 81, and their discussion in LILCO's testimony is not probative of any issues raised in Contention 81. If LILCO determines to re-vise its Plan to include reliance upon such additional resources, it should do so by giving'the Board and parties notice of such Plan revision so that the pertinent contentions can be revised. As such point, testimony concerning those mat-ters would be relevant to this litigation. At this point, it is not and should be stricken.

6. Answer 25 and Attachment 7 This portion of LILCO's testimony once again deals with speculation concerning various " probable" activities by various agencies in the event of an accident at Shoreham. It is purely speculative. .It is not set forth in Revision 3 of the LILCO 1

Plan, and therefore is not relevant to the issues raised in Contention 81, which are based solely upon the LILCO Plan and its implementation by LILCO. It should be stricken for the

,- reasons stated in Part I.A.2 above.

Similarly, LILCO's discussion of various activities in re-sponse to the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 is simply not relevant to the proposals contained in the LILCO Plan for LILCO's response to an accident at Shoreham. The cited testi-

mony is not probative and should be stricken for the reasons j stated in Part I.A.5 above. If it is admitted, it will neces-sitate cross-examination concerning activities during the Three i

1 Mile Island accident which will delay the proceeding and in-volve substantial discussion of completely irrelevant matters.

Finally, LILCO's discussion of a recent draft of the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan has no relevance to this case either. That Plan is not before this Board for.

litigation; only Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan is. LILCO's as-sertions concerning the " intent of the Federal Government" as allegedly " evidenced".in such Federal Plan is speculative, unreliable and of no probative value. Accordingly, this testi-mony and Attachment 7_ (which is identified by LILCO as the most recent draf t of such plan) should be stricken for the reasons p- e r. y , - p

  • m f -

e'r-sue-

1 stated in Parts I.A.5 and I.B, because they are not relevant or probative.

F. LILCO's Testimony on Contention 85 (Recovery and Reentry)

Question and Answer 8 This testimony discusses "how LILCO's Plan purportedly compares with the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan." It is irrelevant and immaterial. Conten-tion 85 addresses only the LILCO Plan and its contents. The purported contents of a New York State Plan, which does not deal with the Shoreham Plant, is of no consequence and of no relevance to the issues raised in Contention 85. Moreover, the inclusion of such testimony in this proceeding would. violate this Board's Order of June 10, 1983. For the reasons stated in Part I.A.4 above, this testimony should be stricken.

Moreover, Contention 85 alleges that the LILCO Plan fails to comply with NRC regulations. Whether or not the LILCO Plan is similar or even identical to some other plan does not address the question whether LILCO's Plan, to be implemented by LILCO, complies with NRC regulations. Admitting this testimony would result in the litigation of the adequacy and compliance with NRC regulations of a New York State plan which_has nothing to do with the Shorcham' plant. Clearly, the LILCO testimony is irrelevant and should be. stricken.

l

1 4 1

k G. LILCO's Testimony on Contention 88 1

1. Answer 7, the paragraph beginning at the bottom of page 7 and carrying over to page 8, and Attachments 3-7 This testimony discusses acceptable surface contamination levels that purportedly are used in emergency plans from other plants. Attachments 3-7 are identified by the LILCO witnesses as pages from emergency plans relating to the Zimmer, Salem, Calvert Cliffs, and Oyster Creek power plants. For the reasons discussed above in Part I.A.5 this testimony is not relevant and should be stricken. Contention 88 deals only with the LILCO Plan, and its adequacy and implementability. .Whether or-not portions of the LILCO Plan are similar or even identical to portions of plans relating to other plants, in other locations, to be implemented by people other than LILCO, is of no rele-vance, significance, or probative value in this proceeding.

Moreover,-the isolated individual pages from emergency plans of other plants, provided without any context, or explanation, have no probative value standing alone. The admission of this evidence, although the County believes it is of no probative value, would nonetheless result in the litigation of emergency plans relating to several facilities not at-issue before this board. Finally, the testimony provides no evidentiary founda-l tion for admitting Attachments 3-7 into evidence. The.

l referenced testimony should be stricken.

4

I

2. Answer 12, all except the next to the last sentence (i.e. the County does not seek to strike the statement "Moreover, we note again that the provi-sions in OPIP 3.10.1 relating to cost-bene-fit analysis do not apply to reentry by the general public of a previously evacuated area.")

This testimony constitutes an improper opinion concerning legal interpretation by non-expert witnesses, which should be stricken for the reasons discussed in Part I.C. above. In this portion of the LILCO testimony, the witnesses, none of whom are lawyers, purport to interpret and apply NRC caselaw. There is no basis for this kind of opinion testimony from these witnesses. It is clearly improper as they are not qualified to provide legal opinions. The introductory statement that the witnesses "take into account emergency plans for other nuclear facilities and guidance from NRC Licensing Board," does nothing to remedy the witnesses' lack of competence to testify on legal matters. The referenced testimony should be stricken; its subject matter is proper for lawyers' briefs, not expert testi-mony.

T

)

v H. LILCO's Testimony on Contentions 72.A and E The County does not at this time seek to strike any por-tion of this LILCO testimony, but the County does nonetheless object strenuously to its contents. This testimony contains, and is based primarily upon, completely new evacuacion time estimates for special facilities, that differ substantially, both in underlying assumptions and in results, from those contained in Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan. See Testimony at 6 and Attachment 2. The County was not aware of LILCO's intention to revise the estimates in Revision 3, and the new estimates in LILCO's testimony, as well as many of their underlying assumptions came as a complete surprise. Clearly, the County was unable to address these new estimates in its -

Group II-B testimony since the County's testimony was based upon Revision 3 of the Plan, which, until receipt of this LILCO testimony the County understood to be the current version relied upon by LILCO.

The County objects to LILCO's attempt to sandbag the In-tervenors by changing its Plan without even notifying the other parties. The County will need to conduct discovery concerning these new estimates and, clearly, must be given the opportunity.

to address this revision of LILCO's Plan in supplemental

.i

testimony. The County will pursue its need for discovery with LILCO, and will file the appropriate papers with the Board con-cerning its supplemental testimony.
