SECRETARY MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD i FROM: Samuel J. Chilk, Secreta SUBJECT - STAFF REQUIREMENTS - DI KUSSION/POSSIBLE VOTE ON REVIEW OF ALAB-800 AND RELATED MATTERS (SHOREHAM) , 4:00 P.M., TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1985, COMMISSIONERS' CONFERENCE ROOM, D.C. OFFICE (PORTION OPEN TO PUBLIC ATTENDANCE)

The Commission met to vote on the disposition to be given to the Commission's review of ALAB-800 with regard to whether or not the alternate AC power system should be treated as vital equipment at Shoreham.

At the beginning of.this meeting Chairman Palladino announced the results of Commission votes in the immediately preceding closed session to: (1) deny the request of Newsday to open the closed meeting deliberations to public' attendance and (2) deny the request of Suffolk County (filed by Herbert H. Brown of the law firm of Kirkpatrick and Lockhart) to postpone the Commission meeting on ALAB-800.

The Commission voted 3-2 (with Commissioners Roberts and Zech disagreeing) to affirm the decision of the Appeal Board in ALAB-800 insofar as it finds that at least a portion of the alternate emergency power supply should be treated as vital equipment and protected as such under the Commission's safeguards regulations. The Commission further agrees, as recommended by its staff, that it is sufficient for the EMD diesel unit alone to be treated as vital equipment. The Commission directs the Licensing Board to proceed in accordance with the Commission's opinion. -The effect of this decision is that-for the present, no low power authorization is granted for Phases III and IV of low power testing..

The Commission instructed OGC and OPE to prepare an order for commission review which implements the Commission's decision.
