NRC 9-29-86 RESPENSE
TO SUBCCHMITTEE

Has the Commission staff ever advised PSNH concerning the studies it would deem appropriate for justifying a reduction of the EPZ? If so, please provide all details of such discussions.

ANSWER.

In the recent past there have been some discussions of risk and emergency preparedness between management of PSNH and Robert Bernero, Director of BWR Licensing at NRC. Prior to taking his present position in November 1985, Mr. Bernero was in NRC's Office of Research and at NRR in positions involved in risk analysis, source term research, and regulatory utilization of such information. In those positions Mr. Bernero gave many public statements about the regulatory process including the reassessment of emergency preparedness requirements. Mr. Bernero did discuss such issues with Mr. William Derrickson and others of PSNH on (two) occasions. These were informal meetings which took place in Mr. Bernero's office. One took place on July 30, 1985, and Mr. Bernero recalls the other one as being a few months later.

In the time period following January 1, 1985, there were management
meetings, formal meetings, and telecons with the NRC staff with respect
to the Emergency Planning Zone for Seabrook Station. However, because
formal or personal notes are not available for all meetings or telecons,
to the best of our knowledge, we cannot provide you with a detailed
chronology, or identify of all meeting participants or cover with any
specificity all topics of discussion. However, based on available
notes and recollections of these meetings available at this time, we
believe the above chronology addresses your question.
