3 CP 43 of 3505

Primary BWROG Issue with Originally Proposed Rule Transition Break Size (TBS) too large/overly conservative s Originally identified benefits (DG start times, ECCS load sequence) no longer viable - Large majority of pipe break sizes remain in the deterministic rules * Ability to apply risk insights was minimized - Risk profile remains focused on mitigating lower probability events (LOCA), not higher probability events (Station Blackout) March 24, 2011 Commission Briefing

4

CP 44 of 3505

Concerns with Final Proposed Rule Most BWROG Concerns Remain inFinal Proposed Rule e No change inTBS; remains overly conservative * Plant-specific TBS demonstration (DG-1216) onerous #New Operating Restrictions on mitigation equipment are deterministic, not risk informed March 24, 2011 Commission Briefing

5

CP 45 of 3505

Summary Why isthe BWROG not interested inadopting new 50.46a? s After 5+years of dialog, TBS remains overly conservative e Too much uncertainty left inthe implementation details s No Clear Success Path to Cost-Beneficial Adoption What could be done differently? s Revisit Expert Elicitation to remove excessive bias and conservatisms inTBS determination s Retain original SECY concept for risk informing this rule

CP 47 of 3505

PWR Owners Group LBLOCA Rule Change

Introduction s PWROG supports arule that meets the objectives stated in SECY 98-0300: -

-

-

Enhance safety by focusing NRC and licensee resources inareas commensurate with their importance to health and safety. Provide NRC with the framework to use risk information to take action inreactor regulatory matters. Allow use of risk information to provide flexibility inplant operation and design, which can result inburden reduction without compromising safety

# The current draft rule does not fully meet these objectives

CP 48 of 3505

PWR Owners Group KEY GAPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OBJECTIVE

GAP

" Enhance safety by focusing NRC and Imposes achange control program focuses licensee resources inareas commensurate resources on non-risk-significant changes with their importance to health and

RECOMMENDATION

Use existing change control process, such as 1OCFR50.59.

safety.

Provide NRC with the framework to use risk information to take action inreactor regulatory matters. Allow use of risk information to provide flexibility inplant operation and design, which can result inburden reduction without compromising safety

Rule isnot written so that itcan clearly be applied to GSI-191 with respect to debris generation and transport.

Clarify rule language or guidance that the reactor coolant system model may include debris generation and transport.

Use existing change control process. Rule has the potential to provide flexibility inoperation and design. Change control program has potential to impose burden not commensurate with risk.

CP 49 of 3505

PWR Owners Group

Alternate Transition Break Size For example, afrequency of] occurrence in100,000 reactoryears isan appropriatemean valuefor the LOCA frequency guidelinefor selecting the maximum design-basisLOCA since itiscomplemented by the requirement that appropriatemitigation capabilities,including effective severe accident mitigation strategies, must be retainedfor the beyond design-basisLOCA category. [SECY datedJuly 1,2004] s Transition Break Size (TBS) has amean frequency smaller than the SECY direction. e PWROG performed evaluation for members that supports smaller TBS o Revise wording for TBS to allow licensee to propose TBS.

4

CP 50 of 3505

PWR Owners Group LBLOCA Rule Change

New design basis isnot commensurate with the risk o Implementation for PWROG members will be burdensome and guidance isstill largely undefined - At least 3new analyses - New change control program - New monitoring programs - New restrictions - Others yet to be identified s

New programs require more focus on non-risk-significant issues - Defeats part of the purpose of the rule

* PWROG believes the rule can be simplified

5

CP 51 of 3505

PWR Owners Group LBLOCA Rule Change

Recommended Next Steps @Changes to the rule and/or implementation guidance: - Provision for licensee to propose the Transition Break Size -

-

Clarification or simplification of analyses required for "beyond design basis" Clarification of model definition to allow for debris generation and transport

@NRC and industry conduct transparent, public dialogue to define implementation requirements that are commensurate with risk from break larger than the TBS. 6

William Ruland Director, Division of Safety Systems Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

CP 55 of 3505

§50.46a Final Rule Concept s Alternative to existing ECCS requirements (§5046) e LOCAs divided into 2 regions based on break frequency - by transition break size (TBS) s Requirements unchanged for Ist region (5TBS)

4

CP 56 of 3505

§50.46a Final Rule Concept e In2nd region (>TBS) LOCA mitigation requirements relaxed for lower frequency breaks s Plant changes "enabled" by new requirements also evaluated by a riskminformed process

5

CP 57 of 3505

§ 50.46a Final Rule Concept * Transition break size PWRs - largest attached pipe to the main coolant piping - BWRs - largest attached feedwater or residual heat removal line inside containment -

6

CP 58 of 3505

ECCS Analysis Requirements s Breaks TBS No single failure assumption - Credit for offsite power - Credit for non.safety equipment - Acceptance criteria: coolable geometry &long term cooling -

7

CP 59 of 3505

Staff Views on §50.46a Rule #Maintains adequate protection e Provides design and operational flexibility #Incorporates stakeholder input s Regulatory analysis shows large potential benefits

CP 60 of 3505

Staff Views on §50.46a Rule * Risk assessment requirements consistent with Risk-Informed Fire Protection m10 CFR 50.48(c) * Design constraints consistent with ACRS recommendations on defenseminodepth

CP 61 of 3505

Staff Views on §50.46a Rule * Rule has been much debated s Base changes on experience s Investment to evaluate benefits is unlikely until rule is issued e Potentially useful for GSI.191

10

CP 62 of 3505

Staff Views on §50.46a Rule e Uncertainties are important s Frequency curves developed by expert judgments based on best available information s Rule developed inconsideration of uncertainties associated with rare events

11

CP 63 of 3505

Stakeholder Concerns * Burden for beyond TBS breaks not commensurate with safety significance * TBS too large

12

CP 64 of 3505

Stakeholder Concerns (con't) @Requirements should not be relaxed until ECCS acceptance criteria in50.46(b) are finalized @Current ECCS models and criteria are non-conservative and therefore relaxing other input conservatisms is unsafe

SUBJECT:

STAFF REQUIREMENTS - COMSECY-11-0002 - ACRS MEMBER REAPPOINTMENTS

IRA/

The Commission has approved continuing to evaluate ACRS Member reappointments on their individual merits per the criteria in COMSECY-96-042. The Commission has disapproved limiting an ACRS Member to a maximum of five consecutive terms on the Committee. The Commission has eliminated term limits for ACRS member reappointments provided each ACRS member's potential reappointment after the third term is evaluated according to more stringent conditions. These conditions, which should be defined by the staff, would relate to whether the ACRS member has unique and essential expertise and is making exceptional contributions to the Committee's work. These conditions should be evaluated in addition to the eight factors already utilized in assessing the reappointment of Advisory Committee Members, as specified in COMSECY-1 1-0002.

After further consideration, the staff is now recommending Paul Serra, Dominion, instead of Sue Perkins-Grew, NEI, and Tim Manning, Deputy Administrator for Protection and National Preparedness, FEMA, with James Kish as an alternate, as shown on the attached scheduling note, which the Chairman has approved. Mr. Serra is the senior manager in charge of implementing the EP Rule for Dominion, a practitioner of the rule, instead of coordinator like NEI. From a protocol perspective, Mr. Manning should be invited because he would provide the appropriate policy level interaction between FEMA and the Commission. If Mr. Manning is not available, Mr. Kish would be more than able to represent FEMA. Please respond by March 1 7 th and let SECY know whether or not your Commissioner approves and/or has comments on the attached scheduling note. Thank you,

STAFF REQUIREMENTS - COMSECY-1 1-0002 - ACRS MEMBER REAPPOINTMENTS

IRAI

The Commission has approved continuing to evaluate ACRS Member reappointments on their individual merits per the criteria in COMSECY-96-042. The Commission has disapproved limiting an ACRS Member to a maximum of five consecutive terms on the Committee. The Commission has eliminated term limits for ACRS member reappointments provided each ACRS member's potential reappointment after the third term is evaluated according to more stringent conditions. These conditions, which should be defined by the staff, would relate to whether the ACRS member has unique and essential expertise and is making exceptional contributions to the Committee's work. These conditions should be evaluated in addition to the eight factors already utilized in assessing the reappointment of Advisory Committee Members, as specified in COMSECY-1 1-0002.

of demineralized water leaked at nuclear plant

* Regulators

say radiation threat "negligible"

TORONTO, March 16 (Reuters) - Canada's nuclear regulator said on Wednesday there was a demineralized water leak at a nuclear power plant near Toronto late on Monday after a pump seal failed. With world attention riveted on the nuclear crisis in Japan, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission said that the risk of radiation from the 73,000 liters of water released at the Pickering A generator was negligible. Pickering A has two operating Candu reactors. The nuclear plant, along with its sister plant Pickering B, produce enough energy to fuel a city of 1.5 million people. The complex is located in Pickering, Ontario, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of Toronto. Canada's Candu reactors use radioactive water, which is heated to produce steam, to drive the turbine. The reactors also contain non-radioactive water. The nuclear regulator said it is monitoring the situation as are Canada's environmental regulators. In China, the government ordered a safety crackdown on new nuclear reactors on Wednesday in light of the nuclear crisis in Japan.

Linkov, Igor ERDC-EL-MS I (b)(6) Friday, April 22, 2011 12:55 PM Apostolakis, George Monninger, John brief paper on NRC risk benchmarks (UNCLASSIFIED) IEAMNRC.docx

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Dear George, With all the events in Japan, it sounds like a long time has passed after our meeting just a little over one month ago! Attached is an invited paper that I prepared for the Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management as a part of reflections on the events in Japan. I used materials from the workshop that USACE organized and John Monninger of NRC was part of. I really like to know if there are any changes in NRC's regulatory approaches since the workshop that took place some 3yrs ago. Please let me know if our interpretations and conclusions make sense. The paper will be peer-reviewed in one week and published in July issue of the Journal and even earlier on-line. I can still make changes if I hear from you in one week Sincerely,

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management (submitted)

Environmental Radiation: Risk Benchmarks or Benchmarking Risk Assessment Matthew E. Bates, L.James Valverde, John T. Vogel, Igor Linkov* EnvironmentalLaboratory, US Army EngineerResearch and Development Center, 696 Virginia Rd, Concord MA (b)(6) Correspondingauthorl

As the eyes of the world watched the explosions at the Fukushima I nuclear power plant in March 2011, and as initial fears of nuclear meltdown and the release of radioactive steam and water into the environment became a reality, public dialogue turned naturally to the risk-management challenges that catastrophic risks like these pose for modern technological societies. Not surprisingly, this heightened international public scrutiny has led some to question whether the ways in which we assess nuclear risks are sufficient and whether the underpinnings of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) framework for regulating these risks is adequate. The question of conservatism associated with tolerable risk thresholds vs. a possible deficiency in risk assessment processes is not only important to the nuclear industry, but also provides valuable perspectives on human health and ecological risk assessments in other environmental systems. A workshop on Tolerable Risk organized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (http://www.usbr.gov/ssle/damsafety/iointventures/tolerablerisk/index.html) provides insights on the risk assessment and management frameworks used by multiple federal agencies, including the NRC (Linkov et al., 2011). Current implementations of risk management processes differ across public agencies, but often rely on a concept of Tolerable Risk. This concept specifies a numerical value for the boundary-in a continuum of management alternatives--below which risk is tolerated to secure societal benefits. Though deemed tolerable, these risks must be reduced to levels as low as reasonably practicable, meaning until costs or other feasibility concerns prohibit further reductions or until a broadly acceptable level of risk is reached. The goal of risk management is to push risks from unacceptable, through tolerable, and to broadly acceptable levels. Though there is currently no coordinated effort to adopt standardized risk management approaches within federal agencies, several notable trends can be seen (Table 1). Threshold values are most often set to around 1 in 10,000 for unacceptable risks and 1 in 1,000,000 for broadly acceptable risks. The similarity of threshold values between agencies owes to early threshold popularization by the US Food and Drug Administration and to a common threshold derivation from socially accepted risk and general background risk, as discussed by the UK Health and Safety Executive (UKHSE, 2001; UKHSE 1992).

The NRC's quantitative health objectives manage nuclear risks by limiting the public's added risk of prompt death from nuclear accidents to 0.1% of the background risk of accidental death and by limiting the added risk of eventual cancer death to 0.1% of the background risk of all other cancer deaths (USNRC, 1986). Using national-average census and death-statistics data (Kochanek et al., 2009; 7 American Cancer Society, 2010; USCB, 2010), these translate to risk thresholds of approximately 4 x10 for individual risk and 2 x10 6 for societal risk. Though these thresholds are defined most specifically for broadly acceptable risks, they also define unacceptable risks, by implication. Thus, a comparison shows that the NRC's risk-management thresholds are the most conservative among the US agencies reviewed at the Tolerable Risk workshop. The problems that arose in Japan after the earthquake came not from a lack of proper regulatory oversight, but rather from a complex amalgam of factors that compromised both the foresight capabilities and the resilient capacity of the overall socio-technical system in question (Ramana, 2011). The discussion above has focused on the challenges that federal agencies and public decision-makers face in establishing tolerable risk standards, in a range of settings and applications areas. While establishing these risk benchmarks presents regulators with a host of difficult challenges, the task of actually assessing the risks associated with complex engineering systems that interface substantially

CP 187 of 3505

with the natural environment pose equally daunting challenges for risk managers (e.g., Linkov & Burmistrov, 2003). There is an inevitable comparative dimension to the risk manager's function: the outputs of a formal risk assessment serve as key inputs to an evaluative framework that begins, in the first instance, with a determinate comparison of the risk estimates obtained with the established or accepted risk benchmark. In the case of the Japanese catastrophe, the failure to frame and evaluate the attendant risks at systemic levels of aggregation will almost surely be a theme that emerges from ex post studies of the catastrophe and its aftermath. Indeed, future studies of the Japanese catastrophe will help regulators better understand the causes and consequences of the mindsets of planners and risk managers with regard to issues such as these. Did risk managers underestimatethe attendant risks, or perhaps fail to appropriately value the adverse consequences associated with cascading events? A key lesson that is emerging from the catastrophe centers on bringing systemic reasoning capabilities and frameworks to the risk management process. In moving in this direction, the requirement is for risk managers to construct - with the aid of numerous knowledge and information sources - a richly contextualized picture of the threats, vulnerabilities, and potential adverse consequences that are endemic to complex engineered systems. Developing this capability requires a risk management framework that is (i) able to represent risk-based knowledge and information about a panoply of relevant threats and hazards - both exogenous and endogenous; (ii) a systemic understanding (and representation) of the ecosystem(s) of interest, with a nuanced understanding of the dependenciesthat are endemic to both the built and natural environment; and (iii) a framework that allows for the rational and coherent valuation of a range of outcome variables of interest - both tangible (i.e., easily monetizable) and intangible (i.e., not easily monetizable) (e.g., Linkov et al., 2006). Going forward, the challenge remains to find ways to embed these considerations within a decisionmaking environment and context where decision quality is of paramount concern. Many factors, of course, influence the ability of risk managers to make quality decisions in complex, uncertain domains. Nuclear risks can be better contained by adopting and implementing risk assessment techniques that systemically evaluate large-scale socio-technical systems in with an eye for enhancing resilience and minimizing the potential for surprise.

April 20, 2011

The Honorable Gregory Jaczko Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 Dear Chairman Jaczko: I am writing to request that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) begin examining seismic and tsunami hazards, operational issues, plant security, emergency preparedness, spent fuel storage options and other elements of a nuclear power plant's "design basis" within the scope of the relicensing process. The current relicensing process is focused entirely on identifying and managing the detrimental effects of aging plant facilities. The process does not reevaluate the threat assessment that formed the basis of the plant's original design. I believe that our understanding of many threats - especially seismic threats, tsunami threats, spent fuel risks, and terrorist threats - has improved dramatically since most nuclear power plants were originally designed and licensed thirty or more years ago. Relicensing these facilities offers a unique opportunity to review the original assessment of potential threats, in order to ensure that a facility is designed to endure all threats safely. I appreciate that the NRC continuously reviews threats, and has required upgrades to address newly understood concerns outside of the relicensing process. For instance, the Commission issued rules to lower the risk of hydrogen explosions when this threat was identified in the 1980s. However, the ongoing assessment process places the burden of proof on the NRC to demonstrate that a design or operational modification of a fully

CP 193 of 3505

licensed facility is necessary. In contrast, the relicensing process would place the burden of proof on the facility to demonstrate that it is designed to endure and survive all potential threats. Recent events demonstrate that thirty year old threat assessments can be devastatingly inaccurate. In Japan there have been two earthquakes in four years that exceeded the "design basis" of nuclear plants. In California, researchers have recently found new faults close to nuclear power plants, and tsunami experts have learned that submarine landslides can generate local tsunamis far larger than previously believed. Finally, recent research has demonstrated the susceptibility of storing radioactive spent fuel in densely packed pools. These new threats logically should be considered in a relicensing process, just as they would be in the licensing of a new nuclear power plant in the United States. I strongly encourage the NRC to modify its relicensing policies in order to assure a full reexamination of design basis elements, including seismic and tsunami hazards, operational issues, plant security, emergency preparedness, and spent fuel storage options. If you have any questions or concerns about this request, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you to ensure that the United States has the world's safest nuclear industry.

Sincerely,

Dianne Feinstein Chairman Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development

Japanese Nuclear Incident: Technical Aspects [April 5, 2011] [open pdf- 244KB1 "The Japanese earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 caused extensive damage to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). This damage has released some radioactive materials, and there are widespread fears about the health effects of current and possible future releases. These fears, and public concern about radiation in general, have attracted the world's attention. This report presents scientific and technical aspects of these issues in order to provide a basis for understanding the risks associated with this event. [...] While some radioactive material from the Japanese incident may reach the United States, it appears most unlikely that this material will result in harmful levels of radiation. In traveling thousands of miles between the two countries, some radioactive material will decay, rain will wash some out of the air, and its concentration will diminish as it disperses." 1

CP 248 of 3505

How To Respond To An Initial FOIA Request What is the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)? The FOIA was passed by Congress in 1966. It permits any person, whether a citizen or not, to request records in possession and control of a Federal agency, and the agency must provide access to those records unless they are exempted from disclosure by one of the nine exemption categories in the Act. You should follow the steps listed below as you process a FOIA request. Each step is explained following the list. ___

Step 1: Make sure you clearly understand what records the requester is seeking.

___

Step 2: Determine if you are likely to have records subject to the request.

___

Step 3: Provide an estimate of search and review time and an estimate of pages if required.

___

Step 4: What to do ifexpedited processing is required.

___

Step 5: Search for records responsive to the request.

__

Step 6: Determine if records are to be released or withheld from the requester.

__

Step 7: Bracket information that should be withheld.

__

Step 8: Organize the records responsive to the request and submit them to your office FOIA coordinator.

__

Step 9: Submit your response package to the FOIA/PA caseworker.

Step 1:

Make sure you clearly understand what records the requester is seeking.

The FOIA/PA caseworker will make every effort to clarify the scope of the request before forwarding the request to the office FOIA coordinators. However, if you have questions about the request you should contact your office FOIA coordinator. If you believe you need additional clarification on the scope of the request, you should ask your office FOIA coordinator to request that the agency FOIA/PA caseworker responsible for overseeing processing of the request contact the requester for clarification or alternatively arrange a conference call with the requester at which time you may ask questions or offer suggestions to further define the scope of the request. Note that no contact should be made with the requester unless approved by the agency FOIA/PA caseworker so that all contacts with the requester meet the needs of all others who have a role in processing the request.

ML060590485

CP 249 of 3505

Step 2:

Determine if you are likely to have records subiect to the request.

Based on your knowledge of the subject matter of the request, you should determine if you will have records responsive to the request. You are only required to look for records where you believe it is reasonable to expect you will locate paper or electronic records covered by the subject matter of the request. Only agency records that are in existence on the date NRC received the request are subject to a FOIA request. Agency records are records created or obtained by the agency and under the agency control at the time of request. This includes records created by the NRC staff, records submitted to the NRC by applicants, licensees, contractors, Federal and state agencies, international organizations and members of the public. No records that are potentially responsive to the FOIA request may be destroyed after receipt of the FOIA request. However, there is no need to reconstruct a record that was destroyed prior to receipt of a request nor does NRC have to inform the requester that a record does not exist since it was destroyed prior to receipt of the request. As a matter of discretion, you may include records that can be released that were created after the date a request was received if you believe it would provide a clearer picture of agency actions regarding the subject of the request. The agency is not obligated to create a record to respond to a request. Neither does the FOIA require an agency to answer questions that are asked in a request. Some records may be determined to be personal records in that they may relate to the subject of the request but have not been circulated to anyone else in the agency, are not filed with any other agency records, and you were not required to create or retain them. These records still have to be identified and retained, but the agency does not have to invoke an exemption to withhold them. The agency does have to inform the requester that there are records that have been deemed to be personal records and the number of pages. Management Directive 3.1, Freedom of Information Act, contains a Personal Record Consideration Checklist that should be filled out by the owner of the personal records and submitted to the office FOIA coordinator. Contact your office FOIA coordinator for retention requirements. Also, if you believe responsive records may be located in other offices, or with persons who may have been previously involved in the subject matter as staff in your organization or a member of a team or project, provide that information promptly to your office FOIA coordinator. The FOIA/PA caseworker will then contact the additional office(s) to begin searching for subject records. Step 3:

Provide an estimate of search and review time and pages if required.

Within four (4) working days of your office's receipt of the request, your office may be required to provide to the FOIA/PA caseworker an estimate of the amount of time expected to be required to search for, and review records, and an estimate of the number of pages (or inches) you expect will be released to the requester. This includes pages that may be released in part. Whether your office will need to provide an estimate will depend upon whether or not the requester has been granted a fee waiver. The instructions on the FOIA E-Mail Assignment

2

ML060590485

CP 250 of 3505

Form sent to your office FOIA coordinator will inform you ifa fee waiver has been granted. If granted, fee estimates are not required. Proceed to Step 5. Otherwise iffees are required, your estimates must be given to your office FOIA coordinator within the time frame specified by your office. Fee estimate for search time should include all time required to locate records responsive to the FOIA request. This includes time spent locating folders in file cabinets, looking for relevant records within file folders, and searching ADAMS and other databases, and consulting with others regarding the location of responsive records. Review time includes the actual time each person who will be involved in the review of the records will spend determining if the records can be released in their entirety or in part and the process of bracketing any information that will be proposed to be withheld. Duplication estimate is based of the number of pages likely to be released to the requester and does not include the staff-hours used to copy the records. Step 4:

What to do if expedited processing is required.

Your office FOIA coordinator will inform you if a request has been granted expedited processing. If a request has been granted expedited processing, you should process the expedited FOIA request before processing any previous FOIA requests. Contact your office FOIA coordinator for more specific directions if needed. Step 5: a.

Search for records responsive to the request. Begin your search when instructed by the office FOIA coordinator. Your office FOIA coordinator will tell you when to begin your search. If you had to provide a search, review or page estimate, you can expect that there may be a delay before you are instructed to begin your search. A search can begin only when a request is "perfected", which means when all fee related or other issues are resolved. If no estimates are required, your office FOIA coordinator will advise you to immediately begin your search for records.

b.

Inform your office FOIA coordinator ifyou believe other offices or persons have responsive records. If you believe responsive records may be located in other offices, or with persons who may have been previously involved in the subject matter as staff in your organization or a member of a team or project, provide that information promptly to your office FOIA coordinator. Notify your office FOIA coordinator when you are aware the Commissioners or the EDO, or a Deputy EDO has been involved in the subject matter and may have responsive records or the records may be the subject of an ongoing investigation. This information is valuable because it will ensure that the agency as a whole does an adequate search for responsive records. If you know others who are processing the same request or who should be, it may be useful to work closely with them, even ifthey are in other offices to both ensure an adequate search and to make the search more efficient.

3

ML060590485

CP 251 of 3505

c.

Search all relevant files. You must conduct, based on your knowledge of the subject matter, an adequate search of those paper and electronic files where you believe it is reasonable to expect to locate records covered by the subject matter of the request. You must include in your search the following: (1) (2) (3) (4)

(5) (6) (7) (8) d.

paper records under your personal control including working papers you have retained in your possession paper records maintained in your office paper records in the NRC File Center e-mails including property sheets in the Received, Sent, Archives, and Trash files. Note that since trash files are still within your control, e-mails responsive to a FOIA request in the trash folder must be identified, retrieved, printed out, and processed. You should also move the e-mail out of the trash folder to eliminate the possibility that an automatic deletion of e-mail will destroy the only copy. electronic records in ADAMS Main Library and Legacy Library including all versions. other electronic files, including but not limited to WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, spreadsheets, presentation files including those files stored on disks databases including those files stored on disks audio or video files or tapes.

Record computer search criteria When a computer database such as ADAMS is searched to locate records responsive to a request, the search criteria used for conducting the search must be provided with the office response. The Department of Justice has advised agencies in order to justify that they have done an adequate search they must maintain computer search criteria. The search criteria must be provided even if no records are identified as a result of the computer search.

e.

Download or print information from computer spreadsheets or databases. If the requested information is in a database or spreadsheet and is retrievable by using an existing computer program or by minor program modifications or simple computer instructions, the subject information should be provided. If a program would have to be written, inform your office FOIA coordinator.

f.

Step 6:

If a record is already publicly available you only have to identify the ADAMS accession number and a description of the record and page count. No copy is required to be made. Otherwise you will have to provide a copy of all responsive records. Determine if records are to be released or withheld from the requester.

ML060590485

CP 252 of 3505

After you have searched and located records, you should review the records to determine if any information in the records should be withheld under any of the FOIA exemptions. In particular you should be on alert for personal privacy information, allegation information, investigative related records, proprietary information, classified, or safeguards information. When you have questions you should refer to the applicable management directive or contact your office FOIA coordinator. Sometimes while reviewing records you will find that they contain not only information that is subject to the request but also information that is outside the scope of the request. If an entire page of a record is outside of the scope of the request, you should mark the page at the top to indicate it is "Outside-of-Scope." This page will not be provided to the requester. If outside-of-scope information is on a page containing information that is subject to the request, the outside-of-scope information must be marked "Outside-of-Scope." The requester will be provided a redacted copy of the record that does not reveal the information that is outside-ofscope. It is not necessary to apply any FOIA exemptions to the outside-of-scope information. Brief descriptions of the FOIA Exemptions are noted below. Descriptions are also found in NRC Management Directive 3.1, Freedom of Information Act, and 10 CFR 9.17. Your office FOIA coordinator can also provide additional information. Exemption 1: Information properly classified pursuant to an Executive Order. This includes information classified as Confidential National Security Information (C/NSI); Secret National Security Information (S/NSI) or Top Secret National Security Information (TS/NSI). PROVIDE A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT ONLY IF NOT OBVIOUS Exemption 2: Information relating solely to internal personnel rules and procedures. Low 2: This exemption has historically applied to internal information of a trivial nature, such as NRC parking lists or room numbers for NRC office buildings. Public release of such information would typically cause no harm, so the agency should generally authorize discretionary release of Exemption 2 (low) records. High 2: More substantial internal matters the disclosure of which would risk circumvention of a legal requirement where the information is predominantly internal and disclosure significantly risks circumvention of statutes or agency regulations. Some examples are: critical infrastructure systems and assets, and vulnerability assessments. Other information properly withheld under this exemption includes general guidelines for conducting investigations, computer programs and source codes, bridge passcodes, agency credit card numbers, and crediting plans for future vacancies. A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT MUST BE PROVIDED FOR EXEMPTION 2 (HIGH) Exemption 3: Information specifically exempted from public disclosure by statute. This includes (1) safeguards information (Section 147 of Atomic Energy Act (AEA)); (2) Restricted Data (RD) including Restricted Data classified at the 5

ML06059048

5

CP 253 of 3505

CONFIDENTIAL (CIRD), SECRET (S/RD), and TOP SECRET (TS/RD) levels (Sections 141-145 of the AEA), (3) voluntary submitted critical infrastructure information (6 U.S.C. 133(a)(1)(A). and (4) contractor proposals not incorporated into the contract (41 U.S.C., Section 253b(m)(1). PROVIDE A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT ONLY IF NOT OBVIOUS Exemption 4: Trade Secrets or commercial or financial information. This includes (1) confidential business (proprietary) information; (2) licensee's physical protection or material control and accounting program information for special nuclear material (see 10 CFR2.790(d)(1)); and (3) information submitted by a foreign source and received in confidence pursuant to 2.790(d)(2). For confidential business (proprietary) information submitted by a company, provide a copy of the company's affidavit providing a statement of the reasons supporting the company's request that the information should be protected from public disclosure and the NRC's determination letter sent to the company. If your office determines that the information continues to be proprietary, the FOIA/PA staff, with OGC concurrence, will inform the requester in the NRC's response to the request. If you believe the record or portions are no longer proprietary, indicate those portions in your response. The FOIA/PA Officer will send a letter to the submitting company when an initial determination is made that information the company claims as proprietary should be disclosed. The letter gives the company the opportunity to object to disclosure and ifthe company has any objection it must provide the agency a statement specifying the grounds why the information continues to be proprietary. The FOIA staff in consultation with OGC and the originating office will review the statement and reach a final agency decision and inform the company and the requester of that decision. PROVIDE A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT ONLY IF NOT OBVIOUS Exemption 5 Interaqency or intraaqency records that are not available through discovery during liti-gation. This is normally referred to as predecisional information and includes information that would reveal (1) a deliberative process but only those portions which reveal advice, opinions, and recommendations, (2) attorney workproducts and (3) records covered by the attorney-client privilege. This exemption's goal is to encourage the open, frank, and candid exchange of opinions needed for good decision making, protect against premature disclosure of public policies, and protect against public confusion by disclosure of reasons and rationale that are not in fact actual reasons for agency decisions. Note that final agency decisions and interpretations can not be withheld under this exemption. A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT MUST BE PROVIDED FOR EXEMPTION 5 Exemption 6: Information if released would result in a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. For example, this includes social security numbers, home addresses, home or personal telephone, cell and pager numbers, personal non-government e-mail addresses, date of birth, marital status, number of children, and non-job related interests, personal medical, financial, performance and disciplinary

information. For application packages, candidate evaluations, personnel forms SF 50 and SF 52, and appraisal-related records, guidance can be obtained from your office FOIA coordinator. PROVIDE A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT ONLY IF NOT OBVIOUS

Exemption 7: Records compiled for law enforcement purposes. Sections A, C, and D are the most frequently used parts of this exemption. 7A:

Disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with an enforcement proceeding. This exemption is used for records involved in an open allegation file, an ongoing investigation by the Office of Investigation (01) or Office of the Inspector General (OIG), or in an ongoing enforcement action. PROVIDE A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT ONLY IF NOT OBVIOUS

7B:

Would deprive a person of a fair trial or an impartial adjudication. PROVIDE A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT ONLY IF NOT OBVIOUS

7C:

Disclosure could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. (See examples under Exemption 6.) Note the threshold for invoking Exemption 7C is less than that for Exemption 6 because Exemption 6 requires that the invasion of personal privacy be clearly unwarranted. PROVIDE A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT ONLY IF NOT OBVIOUS

7D:

Information consists of names of individuals and other information the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to reveal the identities of confidential sources. Confidential sources generally must have a written confidentiality agreement with the NRC. However that is not required by the OIG. PROVIDE A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT ONLY IF NOT OBVIOUS

7E:

Disclosure would reveal techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions. or guidelines that could reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of the law. PROVIDE A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT ONLY IF NOT OBVIOUS

7F:

Disclosure could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of an individual. PROVIDE A FORESEEABLE HARM STATEMENT ONLY IF NOT OBVIOUS

7

ML060590485

CP 255 of 3505

If you have questions regarding the application of exemptions you should consult with your own management or office FOIA coordinator. Step 7.

Bracket information that should be withheld.

If the entire record is to be withheld write at the top of the first page: "Withhold All" and note the applicable FOIA exemption(s). If only a part of a record is to be withheld, whether it be part of a page, paragraph, or sentence, the information should be enclosed in brackets preferably using a red pencil and the applicable FOIA exemption noted in the margin next to the brackets. The FOIA requires that information that can be released be segregated from that which is withheld, thus it is important that you carefully consider what information can be released and what must be withheld. In particular, facts in predecisional records must be segregated from any advise, opinions or recommendations or other deliberative process information that is to be withheld. Also, make sure that information you are proposing to be withheld has not already been released to the public. Finally, remember you are only to bracket information to be withheld. The FOIA /PA Specialist is responsible for actually deleting withheld information in records prior to their release to the requester. Step 8:

Organize the records responsive to the request and submit them to your office FOIA coordinator.

Organize the responsive records into the following categories and list on separate pages as follows. Remember that all responsive records must be provided to the office FOIA coordinator regardless of whether they will be released or withheld in whole or in part. (Note the suggested format for compiling a list of records is as follows: Record Date, Originator, Originator Organization, Brief Subject and Page Count) (1)

(2) (3)

(4) (5) (6)

Records Already Publicly Available - if in ADAMS (main and legacy libraries) include the ADAMS Accession Number or include a printout ifthe records were identified via an ADAMS search along with the criteria used to perform the search. Records Being Released in Their Entirety - if the record is already in the ADAMS but not publicly available include the record's ADAMS Accession Number. Records Containing Security-Related Information - these records will be released only to the requester and not made publicly available in ADAMS until a third FOIA request is received for the same record. When a third request is received, the record will be made publicly available in ADAMS. Records Being Released in Part with the exemption(s) noted (foreseeable harm statement must be provided for exemptions 2(high) and 5. Records Being Withheld in Their Entirety with the exemption(s) noted (foreseeable harm statement must be provided for exemptions 2(high) and 5. Records to be Referred to the Originating Office, Agency, or Company. (a)

Identify any records submitted to the Commission or a Commissioner and provide a recommendation whether the record should be released or withheld because NRC policy requires Commission approval of the recommendation.

8

ML060590485

CP 256 of 3505

(b)

(c)

(d)

Step 9:

Identify if any responsive record(s) involve(s) a subject for which litigation is either ongoing or is probable. This will ensure coordination with the Office of General Counsel, the NRC Solicitor, and when necessary the Department of Justice. Where an email contains the exchange between two or more offices, the submitting office is responsible for making a disclosure determination on the portions of the email originated by its staff and indicating the originating office(s) for the remaining portions. If a record contains proprietary information, remember to provide a copy of any affidavit provided by the submitted and any NRC decision letter. If the decision is still pending on submitted request for proprietary treatment of the record please note that in the response. Also since a letter will be sent to the submitted by the FOIA/PA Officer, please provide an address if it is not apparent on the record.

Submit your response package to the FOIAIPA caseworker.

Within ten (10) working days, your office is required to submit records to the FOIA/PA caseworker handling the processing of the request. You should provide your office FOIA coordinator your response package within the time frame specified by your office. If you can not respond within your office's time frame, you should obtain your management approval and inform your office FOIA coordinator as soon as possible and explain why a delay will occur and when you expect to provide the complete response. Your transmittal memo to the FOIA/PA caseworker must indicate whether the response does or does not contain security-related information. Your memo must also provide foreseeable harm statements for exemptions 2(high) and 5. You only need to provide a foreseeable harm statement for exemptions 1, 3, 4, 6, 7A and 7C if the reason is not obvious. While each document or portion of a document protected by exemptions 2 and 5 must be addressed in a foreseeable harm statement, a single statement may cover multiple documents or multiple portions of documents, provided that the harm foreseen, and the reasons why the harm is foreseen, are the same for each. While foreseeable harm statements do not need to be lengthy, they should be reasonably specific. You should include in your response the actual search time and review time you spent on processing the request. Do not put your office FOIA response in ADAMS. The FOIA/PA caseworker will place the FOIA request, NRC's response(s) to the requester (including the appendices and records) in ADAMS should the determination be made that the FOIA can be made publicly available.

FOIA Request for Records Regarding Information on Nuclear Incidentat the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power'Plant

Dear FOIA Officer: On behalf of the Natural; Resources Defense-Council ('NRDC'", I write to request disclosure of records pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), 5 U.S.C. § 552, and applicable Nuclear Regulatory:Commission ("NRC") regulations at 10 C.F.R. § 9.11 e&seq. I.

Description of Records Sought

Please produce all non-exempt records' in NRC's possession, custody or control which were created 'or obtained for the purpose of communication between a)-NRC' (including NRC Commissioners.and NRC staff) and any other persons, including, but not limited to communications2 with any entity of the U.S. governxnent,.the Japanese Government and Tokyo Electric Power Company, b) between the NRC Commissioners, and c) between the.NRC Commissioners and the NRC staff, pertaining to the nuclear incident that commenced on March 14, 2011 at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power

The term "records, is used herein to mean anything denoted by the use of that word or its singular form in the text oflFOIA. The term includes.correspondence, minutes of meetings, memoranda, notes, emails, notices, facsimiles, charts, tables, presentations, orders, filings, and other writings (handwritten, typed, electronic, or otherwise produced, reproduced, or stored). This request seeks responsive records in the custody of any NRC office, including, butnot limited to, NRC Headquarters offices, and specifically including NRC offices in possession of records pertaining to the subject of this letter. 2 The term "communications" must be given the.broadest possible meaning and includes comments, emails, courtesy copies of ernmails, notes, data sets, calendars, personal .digital assistant entries, and any other agency record involving communication and/or record of communications between NRC and non-NRC persons.

CP 259 of 3505

Station in Japan. The.temporal scope of this request is limited to those agency records created or obtained after March 10, 2011.

11.

Request for a Fee Waiver

NRDC requests that NRC waive the fee that it would otherwise charge for search and production of the records described above. FOIA dictates that requested records be provided without charge "if disclosure of the-information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily-in the commercial interest of the requester." 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(A)(iii); see also 10.C.F.R. § 9.41(c). The requested disclosure would meet both ofthese requirements. In addition, NRDC qualifies as "a representative of the news media" entitled to a reduction of fees under FOIA. 5 U.S.C. § 552(aX4)(A)(ii)(ll); see alsol0 C.F.R. § 9.39(a);: .A.

NRDC Satisfies the First FeeWaiver Requirement

The disclosure requested here:would be"likely to contribtite significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government." 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4XA)(iii); 10 C.F.R. § 9.4(C1). &ach&ofthe four factors used by NRC to evaluate the first fee waiver requirement indicates that a fee waiver is appropriate for this request. See 10 C.F.R. § 9.41(d). I.

Subject of the request

The records requested here pertain to a nuclear accident with global and domestic impact, the NRC's understanding of the scale of the ongoing nuclear accident in Japan and how domestic reactors similar to those at the Fukushima facility are regulated. NRC is a-government agency. The requested records thus directly concern "the operations or activities of the government." See 5 U.S&C.. § 552(a)(4)(A)(iii); 43 C.F.R. § 9A4(d)(1).

2.

Informative value of the information to be disclosed

The requested records are "likely to contribute" to the pub!ic's understanding of government operations and activities. 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(A)(ii); 10 C.F.R. § 9.41(d)(2). The public does not currently possess comprehensive information regarding the specifies of the ongoing Japanese nuclear disaster and, as .noted above, this disaster has global and domestic impacts. The-records requested are not currently in the public domain, and their disclosure would therefore be meaningfully informative with respect to NRC's actions and actions that may need to be taken with respect todomesticnuclear operations in the United States, 3.

Contributionto an understandingof the:subject by the public is likely to resultfrom disclosure.

2

CP 260 of 3505

Because NRDC is a "representative of themnews media," as explained in Part IL.C below, NRC must presume that this disclosure is likely to contribute to public understanding of its subject. 10 C.F.R. §9.39(a). In any event, however, NRDC's extensive communications capabilities and proven history of dissemination of infbrmation of public interest obtained from FOIA records requests indicate that NRDC is likely to reach a broad audience of interested persons with any relevant and newsworthy in formation obtained friom the present request. NRDC intends to disseminate any newsworthy information in the released records and its analysis of such records to its member base and to the broader public, through one or more of the many communications channels referenced below. 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4XA)(ii); 10 C.F.R. § 9.13. As NRDC's long history of incorporating information obtained through FOIA into reports, articles and other communications illustrates, NRDC is well prepared to convey to the public any relevant information it obtains through this records request. NRDC has the ability to disseminate information on the Japanese nuclear disaster

through its website (http://www.nrdc.or0)

(homepage at Attachment 1), which is updated

daily and draws approximately 893,000 page views and 378,000 visits per month; future issues of OnEarthmagazine (excerpts from sample issue at Attachment 2), which is distributed to approximately 150,000 subscribers, soldatfnewsstands and bookstores, and made available online free of charge at httv://www.nrdc.orgIonearth; its Nature's Voice is a print and electronic newsletter featuring updates and actions on NRDC's campaigns to protect nature and the environment and is distributed to 1.3 million members and online activists, and is available on line at http://www.nrdc.orgtnaturesvoic/default.asp (sample issue at Attachment 3); and other newsletters and alerts, including the following. We have already disseminated information on this topic via our website (http:/.fswitchboard.nrdc.org/tblogs/mmckinzie/the nrdc nuclear programs note html). NRDC's Activist Alert email list has more than 142,000 subscribers who receive regular information on urgent environmental issues (sample email at Attachment 4). Information disseminated to Activist Alert email subscribers is also available online at NRDC's Action Center, htto:/www.nrdc.org/action/default.asp (Attachment 5). This Green Life is NRDC's electronic newsletter on environmentally sustainable living. It is distributed by email to 62,000 subscribers (sample email at Attachment 6) and. made available online at http://www.nrdc.orýz/thispreenlife/default.as, (Attachment 7). NRDC Online is a weekly electronic environmnental newsletter distributed by e-mail to 37,000 subscribers, at htto://www.nrdc.orz/newsletter (Attachment 8)'. NRDC also maintains a staff blogging site, "'Switchboard," at http://switchboard.ntdc.ors (Attachment 9), which is updated daily and features more than 130 bloggers writing about current environmental issues. The blogs draw approximately 110,500 page views and 65,000 visits per month; Switchboard's RSS feeds have approximately 3,100.subscribers; and Switchboard posts appear on websites of other major interaet media outlets, such as "The Huffington Post," at http://www.huffingtonpost.com (sample post at Attachment 10).- NRDC's profiles on "Facebook," at http://www.fiicebook.com/nrdc.org (Attachment 11), and "Twitter," at

NRDC: Publications in Print, Jan. 12,2010); see also Attachments 28-50, discussed below. NRDC routinely uges FOIA to obtain information from federal agencies that NRDC legal and scientific experts analyze in order to inform the public abouta variety of issues, including energy policy, climate change, wildlife protection, nuclear weapons, pesticides, drinking water safety, and air quality. Some specific examples are provided below.

CP 262 of 3505

(1)

In October 2003, NRDC issued a report assessing the degree of enforcement of California's environmental and public health laws. This report, An Uneven Shield: The Recordof Enforcement and Violations Under California'sEnvironmental,Healtk and Workplace Safety Laws, examined data on known violations and law enforcement responses under six critical pollution, health, and workplace safety programs (Attachment 28). Much ofthe data analyzed in the~study was obtained through formal FOIA requests. See id at pp. 4, 16.

(2)

NRDC obtained, through a.court-enforced FOIA request,'records of the operations of the Bush administration's Energy Task Force, headed by Vice President Dick Cheney. It made those records available, along with analysis of selected excerpts and Uinks to the administration's index of withheld documents, on NRDC's website at http://www.nrdc.orelair/energyAtaskforce/tfmx.asn :(Attachment 29). NRDC's efforts helped to inform the public about an issue that, even before the records' release, had attracted considerable attention. See; e.g., Elizabeth Shogren, "Bush Gets One-Two Punch on.Energy," L.A. Times, Mar. 28, 2002,: at A22 (Attachment 30); Bennett Roth, "Houston EnergyDrilling Firm Appears in Documents from Energy Department," Houston Chronicle, Apr..12, 2002, (Attachment 31).

(3)

NRDC obtained, through a FOIA request; a memorandum by ExxonMobil advocating the replacement ofea highly respected atmospheric scientist, Dr. Robert Watson, as the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. NRDC used this memorandum to help inform the public about what may have been behind the decision by the Bush administration to replace Dr. Watson. See NRDC Press Release and attached Exxon memorandum, "Co0ifidential Papers Show Exxon Hand in White House Move to Oust Top Scientist from International Global Warming.Panel," Apr. 3, 2002,.(Attachment 32); Elizabeth Shogren, "Charges Fly Over Science Panel 1ik," LA..Time, Apr. 4, 2002,. at A 19 (Attachment 33).

NRDC incorporated information obtained -through FOIA into a 2005 report published and provided free of charge at NRDC's website, see http.//www.nrde.orgiwildlife/marine/sound/contents.asp, on the impacts of military sonar and other industrial noise pollution on marine life. See Sounding the Depths IT.. The.Rising Toll of Sonar,Shipping andIndustrial Ocean Noise on Marine Life (Nov. 2005) (update to 1999 report) (Attachment 34). Since the report's publication; the sonar issue has continued-to attract widespread public: attention. See, e.g., 'Protest'Raised over New Tests of Naval Sonar," National Public Radio, All Things Considered,July 24, 2007 (transcript at.Attachment 35).

(5)

NRDC scientists have used information obtained through FOIA to publish analyses of the United States' and other nations' nuclear weapons

5

CP 263 of 3505

programs. In 2004, for example, NRDC scientists incorporated information obtained through FOIA intoa feature article on the United States' plans to deploy a ballistic missile system and the implications for global security. See Hans M. Kristensen, Matthew G. McKinzie, and Robert S. Nlorris, "The Protection Paradox," Bulletin ofAtomic Scientists, Mar./Apr. 2004 (Attachment 36). (6)

NRDC. has used WhitetHouse documents obtained through FOIA to inform the public about EPA's failures to protect wildlife and workers from the pesticide atrazine in the face of-industry pressure to keep atrazine on the market. See http://www.nrdd;oriphealthlpesticides/natra e.asp (Attachment 37);.see also William Souder, "It's Not Easy Being Green: Are Weed-Killers Turning Frogs Into Hermaphrodites?," Harper's Bazaar,Aug. 1, 2006 (referencing documents obtained.and posted online by NRDC) (Attachment. 38).

(7)

NRDC has obtained, througlh FOIA, information on the levels of arsenic in drinking water supplies across the country. NRDC incorporated much of the information into a report, Arsenic and OldLaws (2000), printed and. made available online through NRDC's website, see http://www.nrde.org/water/drinkiWnarsenic/aolinx.asp (Attachment 39), and provided analysis describing its significance and guiding interested members of the public on how to learn more about arsenic in their own drinking water supplies. Id.; see also Steve LaRue, "EPA Aims to, Cut Levels of Arsenic in Well Water," San Diego Union-Tribune,June 5, 2000, atuB 1 (referencing NRDC report) (Attachment 40).

(8)

In 2000, NRDC used information obtained through FOIA to publish a report analyzing the impacts of manure pollution from large livestock feedlots on human health, fish and wildlife. See NRDC, Spills & Kills, Aug. 2000, (Attachment 41)..

(9)

In 1999, NRDC obtained, through FOIA, a Defense Department document, History ofthe Custody and Deployment of Nuclear Weapons: July 1945 through September 1977. The document attracted significant press, attention once it was disclosed. See, e.g., Waltcr Pincus, "Study Says U.S. Secretly Placed Bombs; Cold War Deployments Affected Mostly Allies," Washington Post (Oct :20, 1999), at A3 (Attachment 42). One ofNRDC's nuclear scientists, Robert Norris, published a detailed analysis of this document explaining its significance to the public. See Robert S. Norris, William M. Arkin, and William Burr, "Where They Were," Bulletin ofAtomic Scientists, NovJ.Dec. 1999 (Attachment 43).

(10)

In 1996, NRDC obtained, through FOIA, test results regarding lead levels in the District of Columbia's drinking water supplies. NRDC made the test results public along with analysis explaining the significance of the

6

CP 264 of 3505

results. See D'Vera Cohn, "Tap Water Safeguards. Still Stalled; City Failed to Tell Some Residents of Excess Lead Contamination," Washington Post, Apr. 18, 1996,4at J1 (Attacuhnent 44). (HI)

In 1989, NRDC obtained, through FOTA, testimony, previously suppressed by the first Bush adnistration, by federal experts who opposed oil drilling off the coasts of California and Florida. See Larry Liebert, "Oil Testimony. Reportedly Quashed; Environmentalists say Federal Experts Pressured by Bush,": Orange County Register, Oct. 5, 1989, at A6 (Attacbment 45).

(12)

In 1988, NRDC obtained, through FOIA, a report by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that declared that the government's review of offshore oil drilling in Northern California was incomplete and overly optimistic. Reagan administration offi6ials had tried to keep the report secret and then repudiated it upon itsrelease. See Eric Lichtblau, "Federal Report Blasts Offshore Oil Studies," LA., Times, June 4, 1988, at A32 (Attachment 46).

(13)

In 1982, NRDC obtained, through a FOIA request, an EPA memorandum stating that most air pollution monitors have repeatedly underestimated levels of toxic lead in the air. NRDC used the memorandum to inform the public about the consequences of EPA's proposal to relax restrictions on lead in gasoline. See Sandra Sugawara, "Lead in Air is Undermeasured, EPA Section Chief s Memio Says," Washington Post,July 11, 1982, at A6 (Attachment 47).3

As these examples demonstrate, NRDC has a proven ability to digest and quickly disseminate information gleaned from FOIA requests to. a broad audience of interested persons. Therefore, the requested records disclosure is likely to contribute to the public's understanding of the subject. 4.

Significanceof the contributionto pzhI!• understanding

The records requested shed light on a matter of considetable public interest and concern: NRC's actiorls, contacts and assessments have received worldwide attention. As just a few examples, see the following media coverage:.*

Disclosure would help the public to-more effectively evaluate NRC's suggested immediate 90 day safety review of the operating nuclearufleet and the six month evaluation proposed by the .Chairman. Disclosure would also help the public to better understand and evaluate NRC's actions (or inaction) on the:current safety regulations for the domestic fleet, particularly with respect to GE Boiling Water Reactors with Mark I or II containmentB.

NRDC Satisfies the Second Fee Waiver Requirement

Disclosure in this case would also satisfy the second prerequisite of a fee waiver request because NRDC does not have any commercial interest that would be furthered by the requested disclosure. 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(A)(iii); 10 C.F.R. § 9.41 (d)(3). NRDC is a not-for.-profit organization. "Congress amended FOIA to ensure that it be 'liberally construed in favor of waivers for noncommercial requesters,"' JudicialWatch, Inc. v. Rossotti, 326 F.3d 1309, 1312 (D.C. Cir. 2003) (internal citation omitted); see Natural Res. Def Council v. UnitedStates Envtl Prot.Agency, 581 F. Supp. 2d 491,498 (S.D.N.Y. 2008). NRDC wishes to serve the public by reviewing, analyzing and disclosing newsworthy and presently non-public information about Japanese nuclear disaster. As noted at Part ILA, any work done by NRC on the Japanese disaster relates to a matter of considerable public interest and concern. Disclosure of the requested. records will contribute significantly to public understanding of the Japanese disaster, associated threats to human health and the environment,. and associated domestic regulatory options. C.

NRDC is a Media Requester

8

CP 266 of 3505

Even if NRC denies a public interest waiver of all costs and fees, NRDC is a representative of the news media entitled to a reduction.of fees under FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(A)(ii), and NRC's FOIA regulations, 10 C.F.YR § 9.39(a); see also 10 C.F.R. § 9.13 (defining "[r]epresentative of the news media"). See Elec. PrivacyInfo. Cir. v. UnitedStates Dep 't of Def., 241 F. Supp. 2d 5, 6, 11-15 (D.D.C. 2003) (a "non-profit public interest organization" qualifies as a representative of the news media under'FOIA where it publishes books and newsletters on issues of current interest to the public); Letter from Alexander'C. Morris, FOIA Officer, United States Dep't of Energy, to Joshua Berman, NRDC (Oct. 8, 2009) (Attachment 51) (granting NRDC media requester status). As described earlier in thisrequest, NRDCpublishes a quarterly magazine, OnEarth, Which has approximately 150,000 subscribers and is available at newsstands and bookstores; publishes a regular newsletter for its more than one million members and online activists; issues other electronic newsletters, action alerts, public reports and analyses; and maintains free online libraries of these publications. These publications routinely include information about current'events of interest to the readership and the public. NRDC staff members are also regular contributors to numerous periodicals and books; television, radio, and web programs; and hearings and conferences. Finally, as described above, NRDC maintains a significant additional communications presence on the internet through staff blogs and secondary coverage of NRDC communications on websites not affiliated with NRDC. See OPEN Government Act of 2007, Pub. L. No. 110-175, §.3, 121 Stat.12524 (2007) (codified at 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(A)(ii)), (clarifying that "as methods of news delivery evolve... such alternative media shall be considered to bemnews-media entities"). As previously noted, information obtained as a result of this request will, if appropriately newsworthy, be disseminated 'through one'or'more of NRDCts publications or other suitable media channels. MI.

'Willingness to Pay Fees Under Protest

Please provide the records requested above irrespective of the status and outcome of your evaluation of NRDC's fee category assertion and fee waiver request. In order to prevent delay in NRC's provision of the requested records,'NRDC states that it will, if necessary and under protest, pay fees in accordance with NRC's FOIA regulations at 10 C.F.R. § 9.33 for all.or a portion of the requested records. Please consult with NRDC, however, before undertaking any action that would cause the fee to exceed $100.00. Such payment will not constitute any waiver of NRDC's right to seek administrative or judicial review of any denial of its fee waiver request and/or rejection of its fee category assertion. IV.

Conclusion

We trust that, in responding to this request, NRC will comply With all relevant deadlines and other obligations set forth in FOIA and NRC's FOIA regulations. Seg, e.g., 5 U.S.C.. § 552(a)(6); 10 C.F.R. § 9.25. Please produce the records.above by emailing or mailing them to me at the NRDC office address listed below. Please produce them on a rolling basis; at no point should

NRC's search for---or deliberations concerning-certain records delay the production of others that NRC has already retrieved and elected to produce.. In the event that NRC concludes that some.of the records requested above may already be publicly available, we will.be happy to discuss those conclusions. Please do not hesitate. to call or email with questions. Thank you for your promptattention to this-request. Sincerely,

April 15, 2011 Honorable Gregory B. Jaczko, Chmn. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Mail Stop O-16G4 Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 RE: Watts Bar Visit April 18, 2011 with Senator Lamar Alexander Dear Chairman Jaczko, I am writing to express some concerns and suggest some questions that Tennessee's energy beat reporters apparently weren't given the opportunity to ask or were reluctant to ask during their tour of the Browns Ferry reactor. In one of the attached emails I discuss a phenomenon noted by Bloomberg's Brendan Greeley where reporters just put on their "dunce cap" when visiting the topic of nuclear energy and shy away from asking even common sense questions. Hopefully presenting these questions to you in advance, removing any doubt of a "gotcha" intent, will loosen their tongues. Since the time of writing the attached emails, 3 U.S. senate hearings have transpired on nuclear safety and yesterday the California senate held a hearing. As reported by various papers in the Tennessee press the TVA 1

CP 280 of 3505

has asserted on numerous occasions subsequent to Fukushima that its reactors are safer. For example the Knoxville News' Ed Marcum quoted TVA's Bill McCollum on the hardened vent systems in a piece titled, "TVA says its reactors, pools safer." This raises the question of how TVA can make a statement involving a comparison between Browns Ferry and Fukushima when you repeatedly told Sen. Carper's senate hearing Tuesday that the NRC itself is still not certain what the configuration of the Fukushima reactors was at the time of the accident. After sending the attached email to William Theobald on the risk to spent fuel pools due to a possible grid outage of years caused by a solar flare, I followed up with a call to the newsroom of the Tennessean. Despite this, Senator Alexander was apparently not aware of this Oak Ridge study as he failed to question you on it at Tuesday's hearing. Similarly, Senator Alexander did not raise any questions about the terrorism risks to nuclear facility during Tuesday's hearing despite following up with his office on my Op/Ed on this topic back in February last year. Senator Carper's hearing was ostensibly about risks to nuclear plants, not just earthquake and tsunami related risks. None of the questions at these hearings have addressed what would happen to the Tennessee River (which passes through seven states) if it became necessary to flood the reactors with water as has been done in Fukushima. The hundreds and hundreds of tons of Cesium 137 contaminated radioactive water which in Japan has been flushed into the ocean would contaminate the drinking water of the Tennessee not unlike PCBs that contaminated the Hudson. There was no mention of vessels to store such water in during the recent media tour of Browns Ferry. At a House hearing on Wednesday of the previous week, University of Wisconsin-Madison's Professor Michael Corradini touted the capability of the NRC to make "risk informed" decisions. It would be illustrative to the public to see the exact calculations that have taken place at the NRC on the risks to the cooling ponds due to a solar flare. At that same House hearing, Dr. Edwin Lyman of the Union of Concerned Scientists lamented the NRC's defensive posture taken in releasing details of SOARCA the UCS having had to resort to a FOIA request. I can't help noting the similarity in the timing of the SOARCA simulation preceding Fukushima and Operation Pam which took place shortly before New Orleans was drowned by hurricane Katrina. Dr. Lyman mentioned that the actual details of the B.5.b improvements that the NRC keeps touting to illustrate how much U.S. reactor safety has been improved, are classified. (are such details shared with the Japanese?) This highlights a "Catch-22" in the NRC's position in the 9th Cir. C.A. case with the San Luis Obispo's Mothers for Peace concerning the terrorist threat to the dry waste casks at Diablo Canyon. The NRC asserts that the casks are "safe" but can't disclose its reasoning to the SLOMFP's attorney who holds the proper security clearance, because doing so would render the casks "unsafe". Yet the NRC can share this kind of information with an Iranian national, Majid Shahriari, a citizen of an "Axis-of-Evil" country who until recently headed up the construction of Watts Bar #2 reactor. This kind of secrecy shows the fallacy of the idea of a public discussion of the risks versus benefits since the risks are classified. Just this morning Rep. Markey issued a press release that the NRC inspectors performing the post Fukushima safety analysis have been warned not to write anything down on problems found since that material would eventually have to be released under FOIA. At the several hearings you have attended following Fukushima you have reminded congress that your primary area of purview is safety. I am curious to know what kind of numbers you use in your model for the probability that a repository will eventually be built versus the probability that legislative gridlock will result in the dry casks eventually rotting and releasing the radiation into the environment (similar to the garbage in the movie Idiocracy). This is a serious philosophical question to pose. How can a congress that can't fund the government for more than a week at a time hope to build a repository, fill it with waste, and monitor it for 100 years before closing when those tasks will take 10 years, 30 years and 100 years respectively? And in this same 2

CP 281 of 3505

vein, how can the NRC convince the public it can ride herd on reactor safety when it can't even get two iodide pills costing 20 cents each, distributed to the at risk public? (see attached email 'NRC said to be rascals') In the NRC's risk informed decision making, what numbers does it use for the probability of the country going bankrupt and not being able to carry out its responsibilities under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982/1987? At least one member of the Fed has stated that given its accrued obligations, the country is already bankrupt. Similarly there is a risk that utilities themselves will collapse if distributed solar power reaches the grid parity threshold. (see attached email Questions for TVA) Bill Joy has since joined the group of people speculating that this might occur. What number does the NRC plug into its model for the probability this will happen? I hope that the NRC lives in the real world and isn't running its calculations somewhere in a vacuum. At yesterday's hearing in California NRC representative Troy W. Pruett use the word periodically 15 times without defining it, in describing the frequency the NRC updates its earthquake data. Reading between the lines of an article on Limerick in the Reading Eagle by Dan Kelly shortly after Fukushima erupted, one might conclude that the NRC didn't update its earthquake data for that plant in the period between Three Mile Island and 1997 at which time the power utility applied to build a new reactor. Your bio posted on the NRC website cites one of your goals as "thorough environmental reviews, and promoting strong enforcement and accountability." As detailed in an attached email no one went to jail after the near miss at Davis-Besse. TVA has a pattern of taking retaliation against whistle blowers as detailed in an attached email and hopefully will result in some penalties after your visit. Why was action taken against the electrical contractor who falsified records at Watts Bar only after Fukushima occurred? Why was the report on the stuck valve in the emergency cooling pipes at Browns Ferry originally classified, and only declassified after Fukushima occurred? Why did it take the NRC six months to have a meeting in Atlanta on the stuck valve with TVA? Why did no reporter from the Atlanta Journal Constitution feel it was newsworthy to send a reporter to this meeting? See the attached "not read" receipts from Nashville WKRN TV's anchor Bob Mueller on the topic of nuclear safety post Fukushima. Since another of your stated goals is "confidence of the public," perhaps the NRC needs to do some coordination with the FCC in seeing that WKRN meets its obligations required under its federal license. But one of the best ways in boosting public confidence in nuclear would be for the NRC to seek the repeal of the Price-Anderson Act. Yesterday Mr. Pruett outlined how the safety of nuclear plants has constantly improved since being built in the 1960s. With the rigorous review that nuclear plants are now receiving by the NRC subsequent to the Fukushima disaster, they will be safer than at any time in history. Repealing the Act and substituting legislation where the companies who design reactors share liability with the companies that operate them would do more to restore public confidence than a Library of Congress full of pronouncements by the Commission.

March 24, 2011 The Honorable Gregory B. Jaczko Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 Dear Chairman Jaczko: I am writing to request the Nuclear Regulatory Commission immediately stay the license renewal process for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant until further studies demonstrate the plant's design and operations can withstand an earthquake and other potential threats. As you are well aware, a 2008 California Energy Commission report found very clear warnings of potential new seismic threats surrounding the Diablo Canyon plant. The report also determined that the newly discovered Shoreline earthquake fault should be taken into consideration as part of the license renewal process. In addition to the concerns raised by the California Energy Commission, the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Coastal Commission have filed comments in the license renewal proceedings indicating that many seismic uncertainties remain unstudied and unresolved. I am very concerned the NRC has not taken action to address the warnings in the Energy Commission's report, nor has it seriously considered the concerns raised by these state agencies and the public. Moreover, the NRC continues to support its evaluation of the Shoreline earthquake fault on an early report based on preliminary findings. Therefore, I request that you also reconsider my earlier request to ensure the NRC is collaborating with other federal and state agencies by creating a joint panel to peer review, upon their completion, independent advanced seismic studies for all onshore and offshore faults in the area as requested by our state regulators and legislature. The urgency of resolving the state's seismic concerns necessitates the formation of such a panel of experts. Furthermore, given that the plant's current operating licenses do not expire for more than a decade, the completion and review of these studies prior to consideration of any relicensing would not impede any process affecting its ongoing operation. The NRC has a responsibility to maintain both the reliability and economic viability of nation's nuclear energy plants, and to ensure the public's health and safety in surrounding communities is protected. For plants located in seismically active areas, like Diablo Canyon, it is imperative they are designed with sufficient levels of resiliency against the sort of earthquakes

experts predict they could experience. Additionally, from what we witnessed in Japan-an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident all occurring in sequence-it is more important than ever that the NRC demonstrate that it has taken all appropriate steps to safeguard against a similar occurrence at any U.S. facility. These safety issues continue to be of great concern to me and my constituents based on a history of incomplete and faulty NRC oversight of the Diablo Canyon plant. While Pacific Gas & Electric has put into place safety measures to address some potential hazards at the plant, there are simply too many unanswered questions on seismic activity and emergency preparedness for this licensing renewal process to move forward. Failure to address this issue in a forthright and transparent manner prior to relicensing is unwise and irresponsible.. It will feed public uncertainty about the oversight and safety of nuclear energy and could cost taxpayers billions of dollars to once again belatedly address issues that should have been dealt with beforehand. Mr. Chairman, you and I agree that nothing is more important than the health and safety of our communities. For that reason, I request the NRC immediately stay the license renewal process until it can fully resolve the state's seismic concerns and adopt whatever lessons are to be learned from the disaster in Japan. My constituents deserve the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant be as safe as possible and they are looking to the NRC to do everything within its power to ensure such a nuclear tragedy does not occur in our community. I look forward to working with you to ensure that is the case. Sincerely,

Member of Congress

The Honorable Gregory B. Jaczko Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Washington, DC 20555-0001 Dear Chairman Jaczko: I write regarding the March 16, 201.1 Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) evacuation recommendation for U*S. residents within 50 miles of the Fukushima reactors. According to the NRC, this recommendation was issued under guidelines for public safety that would be used in the United States under similar circumstances. As thisý recommendation could have: important implications for U.S. energy security, public health, and environmental protection, I respectfully request that you disclose all assurmptions that were used in reaching this conclusion. In addition to any other..relevant information, please address the following points: 1) The assumed magnitudes of the total releases (in Curies) to the atmosphere, of the radioisotopes dominating the inhalation, cloudshine, and 4-day groundshine effective whole body doses and the thyroid inhalation doses; 2) The assumed duration of the releases; 3) The assumed wind speed and deposition velocities; 4) Any assumption concerning wind wander; 5) The height of the assumed release including any height increase of the mid-line of the plume due to heat buoyancy effects; and 6) The dose conversion factor that the NRC uses for iodine-13 1 for converting exposure to airborne 1-131 measured in Ci-seconds/m3 exposure to thyroid: doses in rem for adults and children of different ages. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely,, jim)Webb n ed States Senator

CP 305 of 3505

I am writing to express some concerns and suggest some questions that Tennessee's energy beat reporters

apparently weren't given the opportunity to ask or were reluctant to ask during their tour of the Browns Ferry reactor. In one of the attached emails I discuss a phenomenon noted by Bloomberg's Brendan Greeley where reporters just put on their "dunce cap" when visiting the topic of nuclear energy and shy away from asking even common sense questions. Hopefully presenting these questions to you in advance, removing any doubt of a "gotcha" intent, will loosen their tongues. Since the time of writing the attached emails, 3 U.S. senate hearings have transpired on nuclear safety and yesterday the California senate held a hearing. As reported by various papers in the Tennessee press the TVA has asserted on numerous occasions subsequent to Fukushima that its reactors are safer. For example the Knoxville News' Ed Marcum quoted TVA's Bill McCollum on the hardened vent systems in a piece titled, "TVA says its reactors, pools safer." This raises the question of how TVA can make a statement involving a comparison between Browns Ferry and Fukushima when you repeatedly told Sen. Carper's senate hearing Tuesday that the NRC itself is still not certain what the configuration of the Fukushima reactors was at the time of the accident. After sending the attached email to William Theobald on the risk to spent fuel pools due to a possible grid outage of years caused by a solar flare, I followed up with a call to the newsroom of the Tennessean. Despite this, Senator Alexander was apparently not aware of this Oak Ridge study as he failed to question you on it at Tuesday's hearing. Similarly, Senator Alexander did not raise any questions about the terrorism risks to nuclear facility during Tuesday's hearing despite following up with his office on my Op/Ed on this topic back in February last year. Senator Carper's hearing was ostensibly about risks to nuclear plants, not just earthquake and tsunami related risks. None of the questions at these hearings have addressed what would happen to the Tennessee River (which passes through seven states) if it became necessary to flood the reactors with water as has been done in Fukushima. The hundreds and hundreds of tons of Cesium 137 contaminated radioactive water which in Japan has been flushed into the ocean would contaminate the drinking water of the Tennessee not unlike PCBs that contaminated the Hudson. There was no mention of vessels to store such water in during the recent media tour of Browns Ferry. At a House hearing on Wednesday of the previous week, University of Wisconsin-Madison's Professor Michael Corradini touted the capability of the NRC to make "risk informed" decisions. It would be illustrative to the public to see the exact calculations that have taken place at the NRC on the risks to the cooling ponds due to a solar flare. At that same House hearing, Dr. Edwin Lyman of the Union of Concerned Scientists lamented the NRC's defensive posture taken in releasing details of SOARCA the UCS having had to resort to a FOIA request. I can't help noting the similarity in the timing of the SOARCA simulation preceding Fukushima and Operation Pam which took place shortly before New Orleans was drowned by hurricane Katrina. Dr. Lyman mentioned that the actual details of the B.5.b improvements that the NRC keeps touting to illustrate how much U.S. reactor safety has been improved, are classified. (are such details shared with the Japanese?) This highlights a "Catch-22" in the NRC's position in the 9th Cir. C.A. case with the San Luis Obispo's Mothers for Peace concerning the terrorist threat to the dry waste casks at Diablo Canyon. The NRC asserts that the casks are "safe" but can't disclose its reasoning to the SLOMFP's attorney who holds the proper security clearance, because doing so would render the casks "unsafe". Yet the NRC can share this kind of information with an Iranian national, Majid Shahriari, a citizen of an "Axis-of-Evil" country who until recently headed up the construction of Watts Bar #2 reactor. This kind of secrecy shows the fallacy of the idea of a public discussion of the risks versus benefits since the risks are classified. Just this morning Rep. Markey issued a press release that the NRC inspectors performing the post Fukushima safety analysis have been warned not to write anything down on problems found since that material would eventually have to be released under FOIA. 2

CP 306 of 3505

At the several hearings you have attended following Fukushima you have reminded congress that your primary area of purview is safety. I am curious to know what kind of numbers you use in your model for the probability that a repository will eventually be built versus the probability that legislative gridlock will result in the dry casks eventually rotting and releasing the radiation into the environment (similar to the garbage in the movie Idiocracy). This is a serious philosophical question to pose. How can a congress that can't fund the government for more than a week at a time hope to build a repository, fill it with waste, and monitor it for 100 years before closing when those tasks will take 10 years, 30 years and 100 years respectively? And in this same vein, how can the NRC convince the public it can ride herd on reactor safety when it can't even get two iodide pills costing 20 cents each, distributed to the at risk public? (see attached email 'NRC said to be rascals') In the NRC's risk informed decision making, what numbers does it use for the probability of the country going bankrupt and not being able to carry out its responsibilities under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982/1987? At least one member of the Fed has stated that given its accrued obligations, the country is already bankrupt. Similarly there is a risk that utilities themselves will collapse if distributed solar power reaches the grid parity threshold. (see attached email Questions for TVA) Bill Joy has since joined the group of people speculating that this might occur. What number does the NRC plug into its model for the probability this will happen? I hope that the NRC lives in the real world and isn't running its calculations somewhere in a vacuum. At yesterday's hearing in California NRC representative Troy W. Pruett use the word periodically 15 times without defining it, in describing the frequency the NRC updates its earthquake data. Reading between the lines of an article on Limerick in the Reading Eagle by Dan Kelly shortly after Fukushima erupted, one might conclude that the NRC didn't update its earthquake data for that plant in the period between Three Mile Island and 1997 at which time the power utility applied to build a new reactor. Your bio posted on the NRC website cites one of your goals as "thorough environmental reviews, and promoting strong enforcement and accountability." As detailed in an attached email no one went to jail after the near miss at Davis-Besse. TVA has a pattern of taking retaliation against whistle blowers as detailed in an attached email and hopefully will result in some penalties after your visit. Why was action taken against the electrical contractor who falsified records at Watts Bar only after Fukushima occurred? Why was the report on the stuck valve in the emergency cooling pipes at Browns Ferry originally classified, and only declassified after Fukushima occurred? Why did it take the NRC six months to have a meeting in Atlanta on the stuck valve with TVA? Why did no reporter from the Atlanta Journal Constitution feel it was newsworthy to send a reporter to this meeting? See the attached "not read" receipts from Nashville WKRN TV's anchor Bob Mueller on the topic of nuclear safety post Fukushima. Since another of your stated goals is "confidence of the public," perhaps the NRC needs to do some coordination with the FCC in seeing that WKRN meets its obligations required under its federal license. But one of the best ways in boosting public confidence in nuclear would be for the NRC to seek the repeal of the Price-Anderson Act. Yesterday Mr. Pruett outlined how the safety of nuclear plants has constantly improved since being built in the 1960s. With the rigorous review that nuclear plants are now receiving by the NRC subsequent to the Fukushima disaster, they will be safer than at any time in history. Repealing the Act and substituting legislation where the companies who design reactors share liability with the companies that operate them would do more to restore public confidence than a Library of Congress full of pronouncements by the Commission.

Nation's nuclear plants must be protected By Dick Griest • February 9, 2010

*Tennessee Voices On Dec. 29, 2009, former Vice President Dick Cheney accused President Barack Obama of "trying to pretend we are not at war" with terrorists. The Obama administration's nominees for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission serve to drive home that point and Sen. Lamar Alexander should vote them all down. In its draft technical basis posted in the Federal Register on Dec. 16, Obama's NRC still relied on calling local law enforcement instead of requiring on-site security forces to defend nuclear waste storage in dry casks at the nuclear plants. This strategy called Detect, Assess, and Communicate has been proved a failure in Iraq, New Orleans and Haiti. In times of crisis, local law enforcement is overwhelmed, and in the case of Iraq simply ran off, leaving the munitions depots unguarded. Given that each dry cask holds as much spent fuel as was released into the atmosphere at Chernobyl and given the tremendous destructive potential of vehicle borne bombs demonstrated in Iraq and Oklahoma City, it is not hard to envision the nation's nuclear plants being turned into strategic weapons as effective as the lED. The U.S. military's blunder in Iraq, of relying on local law enforcement to secure the depots, was strongly criticized by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office in a March 2007 reports "DOD Should Apply Lessons Learned Concerning the Need for Security over Conventional Munitions Storage Sites to Future Operations Planning" (http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d07639t.pdf and http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d07444.pdf). Obama's Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been slow to learn this lesson. Tennesseans are dutifully impressed by the president's choice for NRC candidates, all being schooled in risk-base analysis. Still, none of them is a Nobel laureate in this field like Alan Greenspan's "whiz kid," whom he blamed during congressional testimony for the failed risk model that led to the great recession of 2008.

Attached is a "better" copy of the water delivery system (designed by Bechtel) that shows the bottom of the drawing. Also attached is the initial "strawman" design of the system that resulted from the NRC's meeting at TEPCO on March 16, 2011, at 10:45 pm. Prior to the 10:45 pm meeting at TEPCO, there was a prior 8:00 pm meeting at TEPCO on March 16th, wherein we offered "general" assistance to the GoJ and they provided us with an update on the status of facility. There was no specific request from the GoJ at the 8:00 pm meeting. Following the 8:00 pm meeting we returned to the Embassy. Subsequently, the GoJ contacted the Embassy and requested the US Government (NRC & company) to return for a followup meeting at 10:45 pm at TEPCO. I led the NRC's discussion at the 10:45 pm meeting, and was accompanied by Tim Kolb (NRC) and several others from the US Government. The meeting was in the TEPCO building, and led on the GoJ side by NISA with a representatives from the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, and a few members of the parliament. During that meeting, NISA directly requested the US government's assistance to cool the spent fuel pools. NISA brought site layouts and plant schematics from the Fukushima site to the meeting. They explained to us the difficulties they (TEPCO) were having in cooling the reactors and spent fuel pools due to equipment issues, damage to the plant, and very high radiation fields. We engaged in a good discussion of the plant layout and the problems they were having with supplying water from the ocean to the plant, and "burning" up fire trucks due to the wear and tear. I led the NRC's discussion and jointly with NISA we developed the technical design specifications for the spent fuel pool cooling systems. The cooling systems were to draw water from the ocean and include multiple pumps and fire spray cannons to ensure adequate flow and net positive suction head. We collectively agreed to the need for 4 trains (1 pumping system for each spent fuel pool), and the need for 4 backup fire trucks with aerial booms (as a backup for the pumping systems). The information on elevation changes from the ocean 1

CP 319 of 3505

to the reactor building, and distances from the ocean to the reactor building came from NISA. NISA also provided the information on the longer distances needed to reach Units 2 and 3. I proposed the flow rate of 500 gpm to provide sufficient margin. NISA agreed that the flow rate was sufficient. I also proposed the 100 meter standoff distance from the reactor building to provide a "safe" distance for people to access the pumping system with some level of decreased radiation exposure. NISA agreed to the standoff distance. We also proposed that all the systems be mounted on either a truck or trailer to minimize exposure time to radiation (people would drive the truck/trailer in and get out real quick, as opposed to staying behind to set up a bunch of equipment). I also proposed the option of including an educator into the system to allow passive injection and mixing of boron with the seawater. NISA didn't believe that boron injection was needed immediately, but agreed that if we were designing the system it is better to provide that option upfront rather than try to modify the system in the field with the high radiation environment. Following the 10:45 pm meeting (which probably ended around midnight), we travelled back to the US Embassy. We contacted the NRC's Operations Center in Rockville MD somewhere around 1:00 am on 3/17 Japan time. I verbally notified the NRC's Operations Center that the GoJ (NISA) requested our assistance and this equipment. I provided the verbal discussion of the system to the NRC's Operations Center, and the NRC's Operations Center used that information to develop the "strawman" design (hand drawn cartoon) to further engage Bechtel and the US Government and industry to design the system. We also briefed the Embassy on the request from GoJ (NISA), but I'm not sure whether that occurred prior to us calling the NRC's Operations Center or after. Hope this helps. If you need any additional information, please let me know. I can also clarify any issues regarding the concrete pumping trucks verse the fire spray cannons.

Hi Steve; The NRC always documents any inspection findings of importance, although reports dealing with securityrelated information are not made public. The NRC will take any regulatory actions deemed necessary in our ongoing response to events in Japan. As we've pointed out repeatedly, the NRC's response goes far beyond resident inspector activities at operating reactors. The residents' work is meant to ensure the plants have in place the means to deal with design-basis events. The residents are also ensuring the plants adhere to the NRC's post-9/1 1 requirements to have additional resources for dealing with beyond design-basis events. The residents are well-positioned to monitor how the plants use their corrective action programs to deal with any discrepancies in these areas. The overall review effort, including the 90-day examination of potential actions for reactors and spent-fuel pools, will include regular public meetings and its results will be publicly available. Thanks. Scott 1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Giselle Barry 202-225-2836, Eben Bumham-Snyder 202-225-6065

Markey: NRC Directing Secrecy in the Wake of Fukushima Meltdown Limits Placed on Time, Scope, Transparencyof Inspections Designed to Assess U.S. Vulnerability WASHINGTON (April 15, 2011) - In the wake of the Fukushima disaster, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) set out to inspect the U.S. fleet of nuclear reactors to ensure their safety and report publicly on its findings. Yet today, Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) revealed that significant limits may be imposed on the inspections, and that inspectors also have been directed to keep many of the most serious vulnerabilities secret. In a letter sent to Greg Jaczko, the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Rep. Markey notes that he has been informed that inspectors are limited to 40 hours to check a nuclear power plant with only one unit, and 50-60 hours to check a plant with multiple units. Inspectors were also initially instructed to limit their inspections only to the adequacy of safety measures needed to respond to "Design Basis Events." These inspections were therefore looking at the vulnerabilities to events that have already been contemplated and analyzed by the NRC, but not to many of the events that occurred in Fukushima which were previously considered to be impossible and therefore not subject to regulation. When NRC's own inspectors complained about this limitation, it was removed, but inspectors were then directed not to record any observations or findings of vulnerabilities that went beyond design-basis events in any document that would eventually become public as part of the NRC's review.

CP 355 of 3505

"These limitations, if true, severely undermine my confidence in the Commission's interests in conducting a full and transparent assessment of the ability of U.S. nuclear power plants to be kept safe in the event of an incident that exceeds the current design basis assumptions regarding earthquakes or electricity outages -- such as the ones that occurred in Japan," wrote Rep. Markey, who is the top Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee and a senior member of the Energy and Commerce Committee. "This also seems entirely at odds with the Commission-approved direction to study the implications of the Fukushima meltdown on U.S. facilities and report publicly on the findings of the study. We should stand prepared to learn from the catastrophe in Japan and plan ahead to address what was unforeseen but occurred anyway, rather than attempting to hide our vulnerabilities from public view and, potentially, use the fact that the information will be kept secret to avoid taking all necessary regulatory action." "The fact that they plan to keep the most serious vulnerabilities secret raises questions about whether the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is more interested in public relations than public safety," said Rep. Markey in additional comments. In the letter, Rep. Markey asks Chairman Jaczko and the NRC to respond to these reports, and ensure that the decision to hide some of the results from public view is reversed. Rep. Markey also asks whether U.S. nuclear power plants' vulnerability to events that are known or thought to have occurred in Japan - such as more severe earthquakes and tsunamis than expected, the melting of core nuclear fuel rods through the reactor pressure vessel, hydrogen explosions in reactor cores and spent nuclear fuel areas, long electricity outages and losses of cooling to reactor cores and spent nuclear fuel storage areas, and the failure of multiple safety systems and diagnostic capabilities - will be both analyzed and reported on publicly as the Commission was supposed to do.

Original Message ---From: Monninger, John [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 15, 2011 09:12 PM To: Spurlock, Kenneth CAPT USN MDAO; Luke, Robert MCPolAf AMEMB JP Cc: Casto, Chuck ; Collins, Elmo Subject: RE: water delivery system Ken, Rob: Hope all is well in Japan and with your families. Attached is a "better" copy of the water delivery system (designed by Bechtel) that shows the bottom of the drawing. Also attached is the initial "strawman" design of the system that resulted from the NRC's meeting at TEPCO on March 16, 2011, at 10:45 pm. Prior to the 10:45 pm meeting at TEPCO, there was a prior 8:00 pm meeting at TEPCO on March 16th, wherein we offered "general" assistance to the GoJ and they provided us with an update on the status of facility. There was no specific request from the GoJ at the 8:00 pm meeting. Following the 8:00 pm meeting we returned to the Embassy. Subsequently, the GoJ contacted the Embassy and requested the US Government (NRC & company) to return for a followup meeting at 10:45 pm at TEPCO. I led the NRC's discussion at the 10:45 pm meeting, and was accompanied by Tim Kolb (NRC) and several others from the US Government. The meeting was in the TEPCO building, and led on the GoJ side by NISA with a representatives from the 1

CP 361 of 3505

Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, and a few members of the parliament. During that meeting, NISA directly requested the US government's assistance to cool the spent fuel pools. NISA brought site layouts and plant schematics from the Fukushima site to the meeting. They explained to us the difficulties they (TEPCO) were having in cooling the reactors and spent fuel pools due to equipment issues, damage to the plant, and very high radiation fields. We engaged in a good discussion of the plant layout and the problems they were having with supplying water from the ocean to the plant, and "burning" up fire trucks due to the wear and tear. I led the NRC's discussion and jointly with NISA we developed the technical design specifications for the spent fuel pool cooling systems. The cooling systems were to draw water from the ocean and include multiple pumps and fire spray cannons to ensure adequate flow and net positive suction head. We collectively agreed to the need for 4 trains (1 pumping system for each spent fuel pool), and the need for 4 backup fire trucks with aerial booms (as a backup for the pumping systems). The information on elevation changes from the ocean to the reactor building, and distances from the ocean to the reactor building came from NISA. NISA also provided the information on the longer distances needed to reach Units 2 and 3. I proposed the flow rate of 500 gpm to provide sufficient margin. NISA agreed that the flow rate was sufficient. I also proposed the 100 meter standoff distance from the reactor building to provide a "safe" distance for people to access the pumping system with some level of decreased radiation exposure. NISA agreed to the standoff distance. We also proposed that all the systems be mounted on either a truck or trailer to minimize exposure time to radiation (people would drive the truck/trailer in and get out real quick, as opposed to staying behind to set up a bunch of equipment). I also proposed the option of including an educator into the system to allow passive injection and mixing of boron with the seawater. NISA didn't believe that boron injection was needed immediately, but agreed that if we were designing the system it is better to provide that option upfront rather than try to modify the system in the field with the high radiation environment. Following the 10:45 pm meeting (which probably ended around midnight), we travelled back to the US Embassy. We contacted the NRC's Operations Center in Rockville MD somewhere around 1:00 am on 3/17 Japan time. I verbally notified the NRC's Operations Center that the GoJ (NISA) requested our assistance and this equipment. I provided the verbal discussion of the system to the NRC's Operations Center, and the NRC's Operations Center used that information to develop the "strawman" design (hand drawn cartoon) to further engage Bechtel and the US Government and industry to design the system. We also briefed the Embassy on the request from GoJ (NISA), but I'm not sure whether that occurred prior to us calling the NRC's Operations Center or after. Hope this helps. If you need any additional information, please let me know. I can also clarify any issues regarding the concrete pumping trucks verse the fire spray cannons.

The Honorable Gregory B. Jaczko Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 Dear Chairman Jaczko: I write regarding the March 16, 2011 Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) evacuation recommendation for U.S. residents within 50 miles of the Fukushima reactors. According to the NRC, this recommendation was, issued under guidelines for public: safety that would be used in the United States under similar circumstances. As this recommendation could have important implications for U.S. energy security, public health, and environmental protection, I.respectfully request that you disclose all assumptions that were used in reaching this conclusion. In addition to any other relevant information, please address the following points: 1) The assumed magnitudes of the total releases. (in Curies) to the atmosphere: of the radioisotopes dominating the inhalation, cloudshine, and 4-day groundshine effective. whole body doses and the thyroid inhalation doses; 2) The assumed duration of the releases;. 3) The assumed wind speed-and deposition velocities;

4) Any assumption concerning wind wander; 5) The height of the assumed release including any height increase of the mid-line of the plume due to heat buoyancy effects; and 6) The dose conversion factor that the NRC uses for Iodine-131 for converting exposure to airborne 1-1 31 measured in Ci-seconds/m3 exposure to thyroid doses in rem for adults and children of different ages. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, /i Webb Unted States Senator

April 6, 20.11 The Honorable Gregory B. Jaczko Chairmn U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 2055.5-0001 Dear Chairman Jaczko, I appreciate your hard work on the nuclear accident at the Fukushima power plant, and your efforts to help the. public understand its implications for the American nuclear power fleet. I do want to raise concerns about some aspects of your response, with the hope that you can resolve them fully and quickly. My concerns stem from the confirmation ineresponse to my staff s inquiries that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been operating in a state of emergency since the Tohoku Earthquake on March 11, 2011. In particular, I question whether: 1) You may not have followed law as it pertains to the delineation of emergency authority, as provided in Reorganization Plan #1 of 1980 (PL 98-614); and 2) This action may have reduced the contributions of your experienced colleagues in monitoring the event and in decision-making. Section 3 of the Reorganization Plan # 1 states that the functions transferred to the Chairman are those pertaining to an emergency concerning a particular facility or materials licensed or regulated by the. NRC.. Your Congressional Affairs staff indicated that you invoked these powers When the NRC Operations Center entered "monitoring mode" at 9:46 AM on March I 1h in reaction to the Tohoku Earthquake and resulting potential tsunami threat, to U.S. plants, At this time, the crisis is unfolding in Japan and I am not aware that you issued any warnings to any U.S. licensee or regulated facility since March I1'. On the contrary, you have repeatedly stated publicly that U.S. nuclear plants are safe and indicated, as has the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, that any radiation resulting from the Fukushima nuclear accident that reaches the U.S. will not be significant enough to impact public health. Given what has transpired, it would be helpful if you could provide the basis for your invocation of emergency authority. Secondly, if your basis for invoking emergency authority was the potential threat of a tsunami affecting nuclear plants in California, that threat ceased on March 1 lP. Please provide your rationale for continuing to exercise emergency authority after March 11 th and your

Chairman Gregory Jaczko April 6, 2011 Page 2 expectations-for when and under what conditions you anticipate returning the.agencyto nonemergency 'status. Section 3 of Reorganization Plan #1 also states that the functions transferred to the Chairman in an emergency include declaring, responding,. issuing orders, etc., relative to the emergency incident. Since March 28th was the first indication my staff'received regarding your exercise of emergency authority-and apparently no public declaration was made--I am concerned thatany effort by you to declare an emergency has been less than-ideal, especially given yqur commitment to openness-andtransparency. Lastly, Section 3 of Reorganization Plan #1 states that the Chairman shall, to the maximum extent possible, inform the Commission of actions taken relative to the emergency. On March. 30, my staff queried all four.of your fellow commissioners regarding their knowledge of any such declaration. All four offices. indicated that none of the commissioners received any communication from you declaring your intent to. exercise emergency powers.. It would be helpful if you could provide an explanation as to why the commissioners Were apparently not informed of your action. above and any legal analysis By. April,8th, please provide the information requested prepared prior to March 30, 2011 that-supports the transfer of functions,ý.om the Commission to you including the basis for contin'uing to. exercise those powers.

Chuck, Elmo, John and Dan I wanted to reiterate my gratitude for being given the opportunity to support the NRC Team in Japan these over the last two weeks. I think it will likely takes weeks, if not months, for me to truly appreciate the unprecedented situation our group has been involved in. Clearly (hopefully?), it has been a once-in-a-lifetime professional opportunity. At times it was confusing, exciting, hectic, fun, and challenging, and there is no doubt that is has been interesting. It was truly a pleasure to meet and work with you and I hope our paths cross again in the future. To those still in Japan - good luck! Best, Eric

On this one-month Anniversary of the Fukushima incident, may I have a point of personal privilege to share an experience that I had over the weekend regarding our relationship with the Japanese people?

Thank you

I would like to share an experience that I had Saturday night. I had the opportunity to relax with the Embassy staff at a local nightlife establishment. We had a wonderful time listening to music and talking with some Japanese friends that we made. Word soon spread among the Japanese people that we were Embassy staff and nuclear experts. One by one the people in this place came up to me to shake my hand and even held my face in their hands while looking me in the eyes sharing their wish that this incident be resolved and they thanked us for our help. At the end of the night the band played the song America. It was a heartfelt moment. We stood there together Japanese and Americans bonded together with love for America and Japan and all wishful that this event be resolved. Just as we know that you would be there for us in a time of need, it was clear that the Japanese people are depending on the people in this room, each and every one of us, to have the strength, the courage and the wisdom to lead our staff through the path to a safe conclusion of this event.

The concern expressed by those people Saturday night reminds me of the importance of our work and how much the world is depending on us, together, to resolve this event. We stand ready to do whatever it takes to support you our friends, leaders and the great people of Japan.

Thank you

Kyodo: Update3: Tepco Confirms Damage To Part of No. 4 Unit's Spent Nuke Fuel JPP20110413969137 Tokyo Kyodo World Service in English 1528 GMT 13 Apr 11 [Computer selected and disseminated without OSC editorial intervention] Tokyo, April 14 Kyodo -- (EDS: ADDING INFO) Some of the spent nuclear fuel rods stored in the No. 4 reactor building of the crisis-hit Fukushima Daiichi power plant were confirmed to be damaged, but most of them are believed to be in sound condition, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Wednesday. The firm known as TEPCO said its analysis of a 400-milliliter water sample taken Tuesday from the No. 4 unit's spent nuclear fuel pool revealed the damage to some fuel rods in such a pool for the first time, as it detected 1

CP 389 of 3505

higher-than-usual levels of radioactive iodine- 131, cesium-I134 and cesium-137. The No. 4 reactor, halted for a regular inspection before last month's earthquake and tsunami disaster, had all of its 1,331 spent fuel rods and 204 unused fuel rods stored in the pool for the maintenance work and the fuel was feared to have sustained damage from overheating. The cooling period for 548 of the 1,331 rods was shorter than that for others and the volume of decay heat emitted from the fuel in the No. 4 unit pool is larger compared with pools at other reactor buildings. According to TEPCO, radioactive iodine-131 amounting to 220 becquerels per cubic centimeter, cesium-134 of 88 becquerels and cesium-137 of 93 becquerels were detected in the pool water. Those substances are generated by nuclear fission. The government's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said the confirmed radioactive materials were up to 100,000 times higher than normal but that the higher readings may have also been caused by the pouring of rainwater containing much radioactivity or particles of radiation-emitting rubble in the pool. The roof and the upper walls of the No. 4 reactor building have been blown away by a hydrogen explosion and damaged by fires since the disaster struck the plant. The water level in the spent fuel pool is believed to have temporarily dropped. TEPCO said the fuel rods may have also been damaged by steel frames that fell into the pool in addition to overheating caused by the loss of cooling functions after the twin disasters. The utility plans to examine the condition of the plant's reactor buildings by deploying a small unmanned helicopter to see whether it is possible to extract' spent fuel from pools. The nuclear agency said now that the condition of the No. 4 unit pool is partially known, workers can better prepare for recovery works there. Earlier in the day, the government's nuclear regulatory agency ordered TEPCO to check the quake resistance of reactor buildings at the Fukushima plant, which have been rocked by strong aftershocks from the magnitude-9.0 earthquake that wrecked the site and triggered tsunami on March 11. The agency told the utility to immediately examine the buildings and consider reinforcement work if they are judged as not sufficiently quakeproof. In addition to the No. 4 unit, the Nos. 1 and 3 reactor buildings have also been severely damaged by hydrogen explosions in the early days of the crisis. 2

CP 390 of 3505

"As strong aftershocks occur almost daily, we have to consider what will happen to buildings already damaged by blasts," said Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for the nuclear agency. He acknowledged the difficulties involved in the work to reinforce the quake resistance of the buildings, where radiation levels are high, but said, "We must devise some ways." The agency urged TEPCO to report back to it on the matter as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Yoko Komiyama, senior vice minister of health, labor and welfare, said Wednesday at a Diet session that a total of 22 workers at the plant have been exposed to radiation exceeding 100 millisieverts as of early Wednesday and that the highest level of exposure among them is 198.24 millisieverts. Exposure to 100 millisieverts is the permissible level for nuclear plant workers dealing with an emergency, but the limit has been raised to 250 millisieverts for the ongoing crisis. Workers continued Wednesday to remove highly radioactive water in the plant as part of efforts to put an end to the emergency, which is now acknowledged as one of the world's worst nuclear disasters. TEPCO had pumped out 700 tons of highly polluted water by Wednesday evening from an underground tunnel-like trench to a "condenser," where in normal operations steam from the reactor is converted into water. Eventually, the operator plans to remove a total of 60,000 tons of contaminated water, found in the basements of the Nos. I to 3 reactor turbine buildings as well as the trenches connected to them, and to store it in nearby tanks and other areas. As a result of the operation, the level of highly radioactive water that had been filling up the trench connected to the No. 2 reactor's turbine building was lowered. Nishiyama said it will likely take several weeks before the tainted water removal operation ends. The highly toxic water is believed to originate from the No. 2 reactor's core, where fuel rods have partially melted. The water, which has also affected other parts of the plant, is hampering efforts to restore the reactors' key cooling functions, lost in the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The nuclear agency also said TEPCO has installed three steel sheets near a seawater intake for the No. 2 reactor and set up "silt fence" curtain barriers near intakes for the Nos. 3-4 reactors at the six-reactor plant to block the spread of radioactive substances in water. Massive amounts of water have been poured into the reactors and their spent nuclear fuel pools as a stopgap measure to cool them down at the Fukushima plant. But pools of contaminated water have been detected in various parts of the 3

nuclear complex on the Pacific coast, with some water leaking into the sea, as an apparent side effect of the emergency measure. TEPCO successfully stopped the leak of highly radioactive water from a cracked pit on April 6.

Japan: TEPCO, Nuclear Agency Disagree on Degree of Damage in Fukushima Reactors JPP20110412134005 Tokyo Denki Shimbun (Nikkei Telecom 21 Database Version) in Japanese 12 Apr 11 [Unattributed report: "TEPCO, Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency's Opinions Divided on Extent of Damage to Fukushima-lFuel Assemblies for Reactors I Through 3"] A situation has emerged in which the opinions of Tokyo Electric Power Company, Inc. [TEPCO] and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency [NISA] have significantly diverged in regard to the extent of the damage to units I through 3 of the Fukuishima- 1 Nuclear Power Station, where damage to reactors has occurred. NISA made an assessment that as of 18 March "damageto more than 3 percent [of the nuclear fuel] is certain" 1

CP 393 of 3505

based on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES),an international scale that expressesat eight levels the magnitude of the accident and problems at nuclear power facilities. On the other hand, last week TEPCO announced that 70 percent of the 400 fuel rod assemblies at the No. 1 unit were damaged. Following this announcement NISA once again expressed doubts about the basis for estimates applied by TEPCO, resulting in a situation where the enterprise and the regulating authority are divided in their opinions. TEPCO Estimate for Radiation Dose Taken from No. 1 Unit's "70 Percent" Damage; NISA Assessment of "More than 3 Percent" Based on INES Standard At a press conference held last week on 6 April, TEPCO presented results estimating that 70 percent of the 400 fuel assemblies were damaged at the Fukushima- 1 No. 1 reactor, along with 30 percent of the 548 fuel assemblies at the No. 2 reactor and 25 percent of the 548 fuel assemblies at the No. 3 reactor. On the other hand, after receiving this estimate NISA spokesman Hidehiko Nishiyama contradicted it, saying "it is not appropriate to publicly announce a responsible opinion, from the standpoint of reliability (of the method for making such estimates)." Nishiyama repeated that "based on the INES, damage to more than 3 percent [of the fuel] is certain," an opinion that had not changed and differs from TEPCO calculations because any greater extent of damages could not currently be ascertained. On 7 April Shiroya Seiji, a member of the Japan Nuclear Safety Commission, similarly expressed a contradictory opinion by saying "We have doubts about whether calculation assumptions were well formed." Disparities in Basis for Estimates Why are there diverging opinions from both sides? The basis for TEPCO's damage calculations is the numerical value from a monitor that measures the amount of gamma rays within the reactor housing, known as CAMS (containment atmospheric monitoring system). TEPCO estimated the level of damage to the reactor core based on the measured values and the reactor stop time as of 15 March. NISA indicated that it had doubts about the preconditions for the estimates while noting that "with this calculation method the result of 70 percent damage at the No. 1 unit would certainly be obtained." This estimation method is premised on the condition of loss of coolant and the boiling away of the reactor's water. When the earthquake occurred on 11 March, NISA indicated that with reactors 1, 2 and 3 in operation at the time, "It is certain that the cooling water leaked out for some period of time, but we must first find out if it 'boiled away."' Moreover the possibility of a discrepancy in actual damage conditions cannot be denied because even if the level of damage is calculated, the "level of damage" is derived from the number of fuel assemblies that are damaged, including those with barely any damage. Accurate Understanding Is Essential 2

CP 394 of 3505

The severe estimate of "70 percent" from the enterprise and the cautious estimate of "more than 3 percent" from the regulating authority: although the opinions of both parties are in line with one another, a sharedawareness and more accurate understanding ofplant conditions is needed in order to focus in on the problems as soon as possible.

Japan: Events of Fukushima Nuclear Crisis Re-examined Month After Quake Hits JPP20110413176001 Tokyo Asahi Shimbun Online in English 0138 GMT 13 Apr 11 [Unattributed article: "Asahi: What Went Wrong: Fukushima Flashback a Month After Crisis Started"] One month after the Great East Japan Earthquake struck, Asahi Shimbun re-examined the events surrounding the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant to determine what exactly happened.

At 3:42 p.m. March 11, 56 minutes after the Great East Japan Earthquake struck, all but one of the emergency diesel generators at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant were knocked out after a tsunami that exceeded 14 meters engulfed the six reactors at the plant. An official at the emergency response center of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA), located in the annex building of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, ran out into the hallway and read out a memo in a loud voice. "All AC power sources lost at the No. 1 to No. 5 reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant! Only the B emergency diesel generator at the No. 6 reactor is working!" All lights and instruments at the central control rooms of the Fukushima No. 1 plant had gone out. Workers connected car batteries to the instruments and used flashlights to read the data that showed what was happening in the reactor

cores. At the headquarters of Tokyo Electric Power Co., the plant operator, in Tokyo's Uchisaiwaicho district, executives were ashen-faced when they were told, "The reactor cores cannot be cooled without power sources." TEPCO President Masataka Shimizu was in the Kansai region on a business trip, and Chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata was also in China on a business trip. The seven NISA officials who were at the Fukushima No. 1 plant headed for the off-site center located about five kilometers away. The center is where the headquarters is set up locally to deal with any natural disaster that hits the nuclear plant and is designed to allow for constant monitoring of the

plant. However, the power outage and the loss of communications channels in the immediate aftermath of the quake and tsunami meant no data was reaching the officials at the center.

At 5:45 p.m., NISA official Koichiro Nakamura said at a news conference, "While 2

CP 423 of 3505

water continues to be pumped into (the reactor cores), we do not know what the water level is." The reactor cores were, in fact, gradually heading out of control. When the earthquake struck, Prime Minister Naoto Kan was facing a crisis of a political nature. At an Upper House Audit and Oversight of Administration Committee session, Kan was asked about political donations his political fund management organization had received from a foreigner. While he was responding, the chandelier in the committee room began swaying wildly. Committee Chairman Yosuke Tsuruho said, "Please take cover under the desks." The committee session immediately went into recess. At about 2:50 p.m., Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano arrived at the Prime Minister's Official Residence and ran to the crisis management center in the basement. A few minutes later, Kan also returned from the Diet. Goshi Hosono, Kan's special adviser, told reporters, "All the Cabinet ministers will be called together." Although the ministers began arriving, a few minutes later Edano instructed all the ministers except himself and Ryu Matsumoto, the state minister in charge of disaster management, to return to their respective ministry offices. As the ministers left the Prime Minister's Official Residence, Justice Minister Satsuki Eda said, "I don't know who gave the instruction (to return to the ministries)." There were already signs of confusion from the very beginning within the chain of command. The No. 1 to No. 3 reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant that were operating stopped automatically immediately after the earthquake hit. About an hour later came the announcement that all AC power sources to the No. I to No. 5 reactors had been lost. At about 4:30 p.m., cooling water was no longer being pumped into the No. 1 and No. 2 reactors. At about that time, TEPCO officials issued a report to those at the Prime Minister's Official Residence that said in part, "There will be no problem for eight hours even if no cooling (of the reactors) occurs." The eight hours is the length of time emergency batteries can be used if all AC power sources are lost. TEPCO officials likely believed that the cooling function could be restored 3

CP 424 of 3505

within that time frame.

That evening, Haruki Madarame, chairman of the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan, visited the Prime Minister's Official Residence and said, "The situation is not one in which radiation is leaking to the outside atmosphere. While there are problems with the power source, the nuclear chain reaction has been completely stopped. The only thing left is to cool the reactors." At about 5 p.m., Kan addressed the nation and said, "While some of the nuclear power plants automatically stopped operations, there has been no confirmation so far of any effects from the radioactive materials to the outside atmosphere." His comment clearly reflects the opinions of experts within the government. At a news conference at 7:45 p.m., Edano explained why the government had issued a declaration of a state of emergency at the nuclear power plant. "If a response can be made within a certain amount of time, concerns and problems will be resolved," Edano said. "At present, the situation is not one in which damage is likely. Because the effects from what might remotely occur are so severe, we have responded by issuing the declaration to ensure that nothing wrong happens." Meanwhile, Fukushima prefectural government officials said they could no longer wait for a decision by the central government and asked residents living within a 2-kilometer radius of the Fukushima plant to evacuate at 8:50 p.m. The cooling functions had not been restored even after the eight-hour time frame mentioned by TEPCO officials. The remote possibility of severe consequences that Edano touched upon was moving toward reality by the minute. At 1:30 a.m. March 12, Madarame and TEPCO officials visited the Prime Minister's Official Residence and informed Kan and Banri Kaieda, the industry minister, that pressure was rising within the No. 1 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 plant. A large volume of steam had accumulated within the reactor's containment vessel. Madarame said, "In order to secure the soundness of the containment vessel, there is a need to implement a measure to release internal pressure." If the pressure within the containment vessel continued to increase, there was the danger of damage to the vessel. One way to avoid that was to vent the steam inside the vessel to decrease the pressure. While there was the strong possibility such a move would release radioactive materials into the outside atmosphere, Kan and other government officials 4

CP 425 of 3505

agreed that such a move was unavoidable.

At a news conference from about 3 a.m., Edano touched upon the venting process. He also announced that Kan would inspect the nuclear plant site. Edano was asked if the venting process would be completed before Kan's visit. "TEPCO is now conducting final preparations and the measure will be conducted in the near future," Edano said. No word about the start of venting reached the Prime Minister's Official Residence by 6 a.m. When TEPCO officials were asked about when the venting would start, they said, "The power source for the venting has been cut off' and "Workers cannot approach the site to manually vent the pressure because of the high level of radiation." At 7 a.m., Kan decided he could not wait any longer and flew to the Fukushima No. 1 plant on a Self-Defense Forces helicopter. In a van at the site, Kan sat next to TEPCO Executive Vice President Sakae Muto. In an angry tone, Kan asked Muto, "Why don't you hurry with the venting?" Failing to receive a clear answer from Muto, Kan's anger remained as he entered the local headquarters to deal with the natural disaster. Banging a desk with his hand, Kan shouted, "Do you know why I decided to come here?" Kan calmed down when Masao Yoshida, the head of the Fukushima No. 1 plant, told the prime minister the situation would be handled appropriately. After that exchange, officials of the Prime Minister's Official Residence began dealing directly with Yoshida and others at the Fukushima plant. That led to a growing gap with TEPCO headquarters in Tokyo. TEPCO officials began the venting process after 9 a.m., about an hour after Kan left the Fukushima site. The actual work of opening valves began from after 10 a.m. With pressure within the No. 1 reactor containment vessel falling, the venting process appeared to have worked. However, at 3:36 p.m., a hydrogen explosion occurred at the No. 1 reactor, blowing away the ceiling of the building housing the reactor. At a meeting on the evening of March 13 of the Fukushima prefectural government, which was dealing with the natural disaster, Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato turned his anger on TEPCO officials. 5

CP 426 of 3505

"This is a problem that involves the entire electric power industry," Sato said. "I hope you will lay your life on the line to deal with the situation." In the end, it was unclear who and when the decision to begin venting was made. At an April 9 news conference at TEPCO headquarters, Muto avoided giving a clear answer, only saying, "Amid a very serious situation, there was a need to make a number of different actions. A clear answer will require further study." Opposition party members intend to press the government about when the decision was made as they feel an error was made at the initial stages of dealing with the reactor situation. On the evening of March 14, officials working at the off-site center near the Fukushima No. 1 plant received word of abnormalities at the No. 2 reactor. At 6:22 p.m., word was received about the possibility that fuel rods had become exposed above water. At 8:22 p.m., officials were told of the possibility of a core meltdown. At 10:22 p.m., word came about the possibility of damage to the core containment vessel. At about that time, officials at the Prime Minister's Official Residence were told informally by TEPCO officials that they wantedto evacuate their employees from the Fukushima No. I plant. When he heard that, Kan raised his voice and said, "Is TEPCO planning to abandon its role as an electric power company? Call the company president." At about 3:30 p.m. March 15, Kan gathered a few Cabinet ministers and staff members at the Prime Minister's Official Residence, to discuss whether he should go to TEPCO headquarters. While some participants at the meeting raised legal questions, Edano told Kan, "We shouldn't be concerned about laws now. You should go to the company headquarters." The decision was made at that meeting to set up an integrated headquarters to deal with the nuclear accident. The body would be established at TEPCO headquarters. Shortly thereafter, Kan met with Shimizu, the TEPCO president. "What do you intend to do?" Kan asked. 6

CP 427 of 3505

"We will make every effort to protect Fukushima," Shimizu replied. "We will set up an integrated headquarters between the government and TEPCO," Kan said. "Do you agree?" "Fine," Shimizu replied. Shimizu never openly said anything about pulling out of the Fukushima plant. However, when Kan went to TEPCO headquarters at about 5:30 a.m. and faced company executives in a meeting room, he raised his voice and said, "Pulling out is not an option. We want you to decide on your resolve. If you do decide to pull out, that will mean the total collapse of TEPCO." Kan remained at TEPCO headquarters for about three hours. Moving to another room, Kan fell asleep while seated. Ever since the earthquake, Kan had remained at his office and did not return to his living quarters, working almost around the clock. From about that time, Kan began taking on more work, telling his aides, "Bring all information to me. I will make the decision" and "I will contact that individual directly." That led to a situation described by one high-ranking industry ministry official of "not releasing any information before it was first submitted to the Prime Minister's Official Residence." There was the possibility that such an arrangement affected cooperation among the central government ministries. Letting Kan sleep for a while at TEPCO headquarters, his staff members finally returned with the prime minister to his official residence at about 8:30 a.m. In the meantime, strange noises and white smoke emerged from the No. 2 reactor of the Fukushima No. 1 plant. That led to suspicions of damage to the suppression pool. On the morning of March 14, the upper part of the building housing the No. 3 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 plant was blown away by a hydrogen explosion. On the following day, an explosion was heard at the suppression pool of the No. 2 reactor and the building housing the No. 4 reactor was damaged by fire. White smoke was observed rising from the storage pools containing spent nuclear fuel rods at the No. 3 and No. 4 reactors. Large volumes of radioactive materials continued to be spewed into the 7

CP 428 of 3505

atmosphere. On March 15, Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa held a meeting with high-ranking ministry officials about whether SDF helicopters should be used to dump water on the reactors. One participant said, "We can estimate how much remains in the storage pool by the way in which steam rises after spraying water." Another participant said, "However, if the storage pool is close to empty, a steam explosion could occur if water was suddenly sprayed into it." While different opinions were raised, the general mood was to proceed with the water dumping operation. There was some hesitation, however, because U.S. officials had said that dumping water from the air would be inefficient. What finally pushed Kitazawa to give the go-ahead was a comment from Kan. Kitazawa visited the Prime Minister's Official Residence at about noon on March 16. Kan told him, "I want you to first use SDF helicopters." Kitazawa decided to go ahead with the water dumping and agreed with Kan that the sooner the better. At 4 p.m., Ground SDF helicopters dangling large buckets approached the Fukushima plant, but had to abandon the operation because of unexpectedly high radiation levels. On the morning of March 17, two helicopters dumped a total of 30 tons of water from above the No. 3 reactor on the condition that each helicopter would only be in the area for about 40 minutes. At about 7 p.m. March 17, a high-pressure water cannon of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's riot police began spraying the reactors from the ground. About 44 tons of water was sprayed toward the No. 3 reactor over about 10 minutes. Five SDF firefighting trucks also took part. On the evening of March 17, Kan asked Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara to deploy units from the Tokyo Fire Department. Anticipating such a request, the fire department had conducted a training session the previous day along the banks of the Arakawa river. The exercise was conducted to determine the best way to deploy firefighters to minimize their exposure to radiation. At 3:20 p.m. March 18, 30 units, including a special rescue unit, with a total of 139 members left Tokyo for Fukushima. The members were, in principle, all above 40 years in age and had given their 8

CP 429 of 3505

approval to take part in the operation. Water spraying at the No. 3 reactor continued for 13 and a half hours and a total of 2,400 tons of seawater was sprayed. A news conference was held March 19 by three high-ranking officers of the Tokyo Fire Department after they returned to Tokyo. With tears in hi s eyes, Toyohiko Tomioka, the head of the special rescue unit, said, "Eve ryone did their utmost. I want to apologize to the family members who were left behind. I want to use this opportunity to offer my apology and gratitude to them." Meanwhile, U.S. government officials became increasingly concerned at the Japanese response to the Fukushima accident. Earlier on March 17, at about 10 a.m., Kan received a call from U.S. President Barack Obama. The first thing Obama said was that the conversation would not be a perfunctory one. Obama said the United States was prepared to provide every form of assistance, from the dispatch of nuclear energy experts to support from the mid- to long term for the rebuilding process. That was in sharp contrast to the telephone conversation early on March 12, soon after the earthquake struck. According to Foreign Minister Takeaki Matsumoto, Obama only offered his condolences without going into specific assistance measures. In the initial stages of the twin disasters, Kan told an acquaintance, "Should we always depend on the United States when something goes wrong? If it is a crisis for Japan, the Japanese should first try to handle the matter. We should depend on the United States only after we have made the effort." A high-ranking government official admitted that when the Fukushima nuclear accident first broke out, from the very beginning, the government posture was not one of depending on foreign governments. The official added, "That may have been taken as a sign of our refusal (of help)." When officials of NISA and TEPCO held a meeting with officials of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), U.S. officials were visibly angered at the failure of TEPCO to provide sufficient information. Those factors led to increasing concerns among U.S. government officials. On March 17, a high-ranking NRC official met with Kitazawa and told him that water had to be pumped into the storage pool for spent fuel rods at the No. 4 reactor because it was empty of water. 9

CP 430 of 3505

The comment was made based on aerial photos taken by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft Global Hawk. The following day, U.S. Ambassador John Roos met with a lawmaker close to Kan at a Tokyo hotel and complained that serious information was not being shared by Japan with the United States. On the evening of March 19, Kan invited Roos to the Prime Minister's Official Residence and told him, "We will continue to share information with the international community." On March 20, Kan instructed a lawmaker close to him to create a framework for cooperation between Japan and the United States. From March 21, full-fledged discussions began to deal with the Fukushima nuclear accident. Among the representatives in the panel were those from the U.S. military, the NRC, the U.S. Embassy, while from the Japanese side were officials of the prime minister's staff, NISA and TEPCO. Officials in the nuclear energy sector from both nations also took part in the talks. At a news conference on April 1, Kan was asked if he had shifted his emphasis toward one of seeking greater international cooperation. In a strong tone, Kan said, "We received various proposals from the United States from an early stage and it is my understanding that we took the position of asking for almost all the measures that were considered necessary."

Mr. Monninger-san, Thank you very much for your support on my request. I would like to use this opportunity to have our government get back to the right track. I am getting reasonably optimistic about that because they seemingly gradually began to change their original positions and have admitted a few important basic realities, namely reactor cores of all units severely damaged, spent fuel assemblies in units 3 and 4 at least partly damaged. Once they get back to the right track, there will be more reliable information openly shared with all international communities. Thank you for helping me, the Japanese government, and all friends of mine in Japan. Best Regards, Satoshi. Sato

Dear Mr. Monninger, Thank you for your message below. As I described in a separate E-mail to you, I wonder if I could see any of your team members in Japan to have another meeting. Specifically, I am curious about the technical basis leading to the estimated degree of core damage for each unit. I learned from the news paper that your team has concluded that it is 70%, 30%, and 25% for Unit 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Hydrogen explosion occurred at 1F3 on 3/14 was by far more than that at 1Fl. I would think this indicates that the amount of hydrogen accumulated to the point of hydrogen explosion at Unit 3 was at least more than that at Unit 1. I wonder why your estimated degree of core damage is as small as 25% for 1F3? I have a few other topics I would like to discuss if I have a chance. But, I fully understand and respect NRC's position on this complicated issue. I do not want you or any NRC person to be in a difficult situation. Best Regards, Satoshi Sato

I am now back in the U.S. and willing to give you a call if you desire. If so, given the difference in time zones, can you please recommend a time for me to call you? Thanks, John Monninger

Internal use only no distribution outside NRC no redistribution inlrnally Mdy ~,o~,tay maera pritary to new agencies And the questions/call just keep on coming ..... 1: CHAIRMAN INTERVIEW - The chairman sat down with reporters for the Associated Press this afternoon to discuss events in Japan to date and the 90-day and 6-month reviews. He said it is likely there would be some recommendations from the reviews and he hoped there would be a sense of urgency of addressing them in an appropriate. He also said plants in the U.S. are safe, but if improvements can be made those should be considered. 2: DIABLO CANYON - We spoke with reporters from the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, the San Luis Obispo News Tribune, the AP (Los Angeles), and KSBY in San Luis Obispo about a letter sent to NRC by PG&E concerning its license renewal application for Diablo Canyon. The letter notified NRC of the licensee's intention to complete 3-D seismic studies as recommended by the California Energy Commission, prior to issuance of the coastal consistency certification that PG&E needs for license renewal from NRC. PG&E informed NRC in the letter that it expects to complete these studies by December 2015, and requests it delay "final processing" of the license renewal application until after this work is complete and submits a report to the NRC on the studies. After consulting with the folks in license renewal, we told reporters that although PG&E has not asked the agency to stop its review, we are reviewing the letter to determine what impact, ifany, this would have on our review. 3: MOX - The Augusta Chronicle called Region II to follow up on the ASLB's ruling earlier this month that intervenors have submitted admissible contentions in the Mixed-Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility licensing process. Copies of the board's order and other applicable documents were sent to the reporter, who is expected to file a story later today. DOE is building the MOX plant on the Savannah River Site near Augusta. 4: MOX - A "freelance reporter" (who now says she's writing for ProPublica) continued to ask questions about Shaw Areva's emergency planning for the MOX fuel fabrication facility at SRS. We sent her a document containing Shaw Areva's 2009 reply to our RAIs on this question, but she wants us to tell her what's important rather than reading the information for herself. 5: SPENT FUEL - Greenwire inquired about Sen. Feinstein's letter urging NRC to require utilities to move spent fuel to cask as soon as possible. We said we would reply to the senator in due time and reminded the reporter that this question would be addressed in the task force review. National Journal also inquired about 2

CP 480 of 3505

the proportion of spent fuel in pools and cask; this reporter mentioned Sen. Reid made some comments about casks being safer than pools. 6: NUCLEAR PLANT LOCATIONS - A student journalist for the Howard University News Service had several questions about whether nuclear power plants are intentionally located near African American communities to use them as "guinea pigs," and whether we had received complaints from African American groups about the plants. We mentioned the hotbeds of anti-nuclear sentiment in Brattleboro, Vt., Plymouth, Mass., and the Hudson River Valley, and said such conspiracy theories tend to be too simple to have any truth. We explained that power plants need to be somewhat near population centers because that's where the demand for electricity is, and we noted that most new applications are in the South and Southeast because that is where the population growth (and increased demand) has been over the past few decades. We also said Environmental Impact Statements for nuclear power plants would address the "environmental justice" issue. 7: G20 MEETING - NHK asked if Chairman Jaczko would be attending the G20 meeting of nuclear regulators announced by the French government for May. We responded that it is too early to tell as yet. 8: HARRIS - The Raleigh News & Observer contacted Region II with some basic questions for a set up story on the Harris end of cycle meeting, scheduled for Thursday in Holly Springs, N.C. The reporter is expected to file a brief for tomorrow's newspaper. 9: FERMI-OPA spoke to a reporter from the Tri-County Times about the robust features the NRC has in place to deal with severe natural events and explained the NRC is reviewing the events in Japan to determine if improvements to regulations may be needed. 10: LIMERICK - There was media interest in our approval of 1.65-percent power uprates for the two Limerick reactors. The Pottstown (Pa.) Mercury had some related questions and a Region I PAO did a recorded interview on the decision with KYW-AM news radio in Philadelphia. 11: RHODE ISLAND RESEARCH REACTOR - The South County (R.I.) Independent is continuing to work on a story about the research reactor at the Rhode Island Energy Science Center. In conjunction with that, the reporter this afternoon did a phone interview with an NRC inspector for the facility. The call was facilitated by a Region I PAO. 12: PILGRIM - The Patriot Ledger (of Quincy, Mass.) asked our take on a ruling by the Mass. Supreme Court upholding the state's right to regulate the plant's cooling-water use. We said it is the state's area of jurisdiction and therefore we would not be commenting on the decision. 13: CALVERT CLIFFS - The Calvert (Md.) Recorder was playing catch-up today on our issuance of a letter last Friday dealing with EDF's proposal to address the foreign ownership issue for the Calvert Cliffs 3 new reactor project. We said our review of the application would continue while the company has another opportunity to deal with the concern. 14: COOPER - We spoke to Omaha World Herald to discuss an April 3, 2010 incident warranting a special inspection. The NRC inspectors are on site today to review the incident involving workers exposed to radiation when they removed a long tube contaminated with highly radioactive material through the bottom of the reactor vessel. The licensee does not believe the workers were exposed in excess of NRC limits however inspectors are going to take a look at the decision-making that contributed to the event. 15: RADIATION SCIENCE - Greenwire/E&E News etc. carried a fascinating piece today on the effects of radiation on survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasake. It is well worth the read: http://www.eenewsnet/Greenwire/2011/04/11/1 PRESS RELEASES ISSUED *

Chairman Gregory B. Jackzo U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission One White Flint North 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852-2738 Dear Chairman Jackzo: As a Member of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy, I am concerned about the safety and soundness of nuclear power plants situated here in Massachusetts in light of the recent tragedy involving the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan. I specifically request an exhaustive safety review of Pilgrim Nuclear power plant located just 30 miles from the families who live within my district. This close proximity to Pilgrim is of major concern to me since my constituents live and work well within the 50-mile evacuation radius currently employed in Japan by American nuclear officials. As you know, Pilgrim was initially licensed to operate in 1972 and its 40-year license is up for renewal in June of next year. As your agency begins its review of Pilgrim's relicensing efforts this year, please postpone your approval until Pilgrim agrees to utilize safer forms of storage for spent nuclear fuel. Specifically, please consider mandating either total dry cask storage on-site or safe off-site. storage facilities, to be located preferably in one of thei19 states that currently do not host nuclear power facilties. The existing .practice of oln-site wet storage pools is no longer'acceptable given the horrific fact that such storage pools are now leaking radioactive water in Japan and trace amounts of lodine-131 are appearing here in Massachusetts linked to the plant in Japan. Three decades ago, Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, which, as you know, was enacted to locate and provide a safe, off-site storage facility for our country's use; but after $10 billion of taxpayer money having been spent since, no such site exists. We are counting on yourefforts and leadership to ensure that this long-neglected need is fulfilled. I wish you good luck in your endeavors on behalf of the American people and I eagerly await your reply.

Thank you for spending your busy time with me last Saturday in the US-Embassy in Tokyo. Also, thank you for all the efforts you and your team exerted for us Japanese through our government. As you could imagine, there are too many hidden issues that have not surfaced yet but may or may not become true as a matter of time. Nearly one million people are currently left in the area severely contaminated with 1-131 and Cs-137. Most people in Fukushima-City and Koriyama-City including many expected mothers and small children are enjoying their lives as before without any piece of advice to minimize the potential radiological impact from the federal or the local govenments. Kids are using highly contaminated slides and swings in the playgrounds as they did before. People are sitting on the contaminated benches and having lunch on the contaminated tables. "Dirty Bomb" is the next concern for me because potential terrorists are readily accessible to large quantity of uncontrolled radioactivity without any restriction. They could easily collect and chemically concentrate it to make a "bomb". I sent my private letter to the person who directly works for the chairman of JAEC yesterday to warn this issue. However, these are just a few examples of many existing and potential issues in addition to fighting with those associated with the reactor itself. Anyway, is it possible for me to see any NRC personnel in the US-Embassy in Tokyo one more time to talk about general topics like these? I fully understand and respect NRC's position on this politically complex matter. You are expected to support the Japanese government and I must admit I do not fully support the way they have been doing. I realize we are not standing on the same ground, although I do not have any bit of doubt that we are pursuing the same goal, namely protection of public health, safety, and environment. So, I, as a nuclear consultant familiar with your activities, will continue to respect the US-NRC no matter how you react on my request. Best Regards, Satoshi Sato Senior Consultant, IAC

Press Release: WANO announces safety actions in response to Japan events 31 March 2011: The Governing Board of the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) met in Paris yesterday, to assess and plan the association's future role in strengthening nuclear power safety worldwide, following the events at Fukushima Daiichi plants in Japan. The Association's Board, which includes chief executives from the world's largest nuclear power station operators, announced the association will maintain a 'safety first' focus by strengthening international cooperation, transparency and engagement amongst WANO members. The natural disaster - a tsunami that exceeded the design basis for the nuclear facility - and the impact it had on the Fukushima site, has prompted an immediate response from within the industry. "As a member association that links every company and country in the world with an operating commercial nuclear power plant in safety dialogue, WANO can and will play a leading role in industry safety review and analysis work and application of lessons. The findings of this work need to be applied in a timely, accurate and transparent manner," Mr Stricker said. "The Board urges the Fukushima Daiichi plant operator, TEPCO, to make full use of WANO support to ensure the full capability of our international organisation can be brought to bear in delivering stability at this plant. TEPCO must ensure that timely and accurate plant status reports are delivered. "All chief executives officers of nuclear companies will be called to a WANO meeting later this year to discuss lessons learned from this event and to address any necessary changes to WANO's structure and mandate," Mr Stricker said. The WANO Governing Board has established a high level commission that has been tasked with recommending changes to the WANO organisation and approach that this event has highlighted. This commission will complete its work and their recommendations will be presented to nuclear company chief executives at the WANO meeting later this year. "The events in Japan will provide many important lessons for the commercial nuclear industry. WANO is committed to aggressively applying these important lessons to strengthen its nuclear safety mission," Mr Stricker said. WANO Chairman, Mr Laurent Stricker added the Board's thoughts remain with the people of Japan. "As a Board we offer our condolences to the people of Japan who have experienced a devastating natural disaster and we acknowledge the strength of character being exhibited by the Japanese people", Mr Stricker said. - ENDS 1/2
