ATTACHMENT
RESPONSE TO DEFICIENCY 50-458/8580-03
GSU's current _ position on Protective Action Recommendations is
<
consistent with the intent of the NRC regulations and guidance.
Although neither Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations nor
Part J of NUREG-0654, Rev. 1 requires GSU "to undertake the
responsibilities of the states and parishes," GSU's position
concerning the issuance of Protective Action Recommendations
-(PAR) has been one of thoroughness due the possible magnitude of
the ramifications of offsite protective actions. The current
decision making flow chart in EIP-2-007, Revision 5, includes
consideration of various items such as special groups and
facilities, road conditions, and severe weather. These must be
considered prior to making any decision pertaining to offsite
. actions. It is GSU's intent to use this flow chart as a guide as
,
stipulated at the top of the chart and in the procedure itself.
'
In accordance with NUREG-0654, Sections I(H) and I (J) 7, RBS
l- Emergency Directors and Recovery Managers can make the PAR's
without interface with the State of Louisiana, if time does not
allow. .However, it is most prudent to discuss the PARS with
representatives of the State of Louisiana when they are in the
RBS Emergency Operations Facility. This eliminates confusion and
possible misunderstandings. In addition, the local - parishes
State of Louisiana concur with the PAR before
,
, require- that the
they will implement any protective actions.
GSU's position, as developed with the state and parishes (ref.
, January 28, 1987 letter from Louisiana Nuclear Energy Division),
is that it is more important to make a correct decision and
recommendation than to rush to a judgement and provide erroneous
direction which could adversely affect the health and safety of
the general population. GSU will continue to work with the State
of Louisiana and the five (5) local Parishes in this manner since
! it is the most efficient way to coordinate the decision making
process for all parties involved.
