Jeff,
NRC does not have a take on this concern as we are not the agency responsible for deciding whether or not to conductsuch screenings. I will forward your question up to our Headquarters responders so that they may direct it to theappropriate group/agency.

Aloha, Bill!
Does NRC have any take on whether planes departing from Japan should be checked for radiationcontamination? I'm not sure if you guys have received any calls yet, but we are getting inquiries. Contaminationshould be very low, if any and is also dependent upon where the aircraft departs from. I just wanted to make surewe are all on he same page and not sending out mixed messages. Please advise.
Thanks!

From: Manfred OsterTo: Janberas. HollySubject: Re: Nuclear Emergency ConcernsDate: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 9:03:32 AM
Your answer is not satisfactory to me at all. The Indian point power plant is 25miles from NYC. Are you suggesting , that in case of a radiation emergency (thatnobody can put at zero, and that is the level we need to discuss, not a lowprobability), that 8 million people are staying inside or evacuate? Where do I findinformation on the magnitude of earthquakes that are assumed for the nuclearpower plants to be safe? Are ALL nuclear power plants designed to withstand aplane crash? The radiation emisison rates in Japan are alarming. We did not learnanything from Tschernobyl, apparently. The link is not satisfactory either, since theradiation that is listed there is not given per hour, when the actual hourly rate is 300times more than the "natural" radiation exposure per year!It is irresponsible to look the other way and just assume the worst case scenario willnever happen, since with this technology, we cannot contain that worst casescenario.Respectfully rejecting your answer to my emailDr.Christiane Oster(FTI I am a radiologist)

Dr. Oster,
We understand your concerns. At this time, there has been no change in theNRC's perception of earthquake hazard for U.S. nuclear plants. However, weare closely monitoring the incident in Japan, and will be looking closely at theeffects to see if any changes are necessary to NRC regulations.
The NRC has been working with several agencies to assess recent seismicresearch for the central and eastern part of the country, and that workcontinues to indicate that U.S. plants will remain safe. The NRC requires thatsafety-significant structures, systems, and components be designed to takeinto account the most severe natural phenomena historically reported for thesite, plus an additional margin for error.
If you would like to follow the NRC response to the crisis in Japan, you canfind current news releases herehttp://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/news/20 11 and posts on ourblog here http://public-blog.nrc-gateway.gov/. As the situation unfolds, we willbe taking any appropriate steps forward that are necessary.
Thank you for expressing your concern.

Waxman: What's the significance of a report of a crack in containment?Jaczko: The crack I was referring to is in a spent fuel pool in one of the other units,meaning a possibility of water draining, which may lead to difficulty maintaining waterlevels.Waxman: What is the best case and worst case for Japan?Jaczko: Certainly efforts to continue to provide cooling for reactors and spent fuel pools. Idon't want to speculate on what could happen, it's a very dynamic situation and there are alot of efforts being undertaken. The NRC is playing one small part of US gov't response todo what we can.

Barton: max safety requirements for quakes? Can we handle something like in Japan?Jaczko: historical data w/I 200 miles. We measure shaking of plant, actual impact dependson location in relation to plant (demonstration with fist and table and glass, shaking)
Capps: need best & brightest minds to work together to help safetyJaczko: NRC hosted a workshop last year to bring together technical experts. They canprovide us with information but we have to make decisionsCapps: both CA's reactors have recently been cited by NRC re: failure to have properbackup power.Jaczko: I'll keep your suggestions in mindCapps: there's only one way out of Obispo - NRC ruled there wouldn't be "bizarreconcentration of events" but we just witnessed that in JapanJaczko: I'll revisit that report
McKinley: NRC still has authority to grant permits for new applications?Jaczko: YesMcKinley: Do you have r&d money for alternate uses for spent fuel rods?Jaczko: we have resources for safety & security of spent fuel rods and small amount forreusing spent fuelMcKinley: Are consumers still paying for Yucca?Jaczko: Yes, but that's not an area NRC has authority overMcKinley: One of our naval vessels sailed through a cloud of radiationJaczko: Reactor was venting steam to reduce pressures in containment vesselMcKinley: Could that have been avoidedJaczko: My understanding is that they were doing search & rescue and that's how they gotcontamination - also doses were not significant
Markey: Other gov'ts are suggesting interim safety measures while studies are being done;what about NRC?Jaczko: We work every day to ensure safetyMarkey: How about interim advisories like after 9/11 ?Jackzo: We intend to send a regulatory information summaryMarkey: Dr Ma's recommendation for AP1 000 seem more reasonable now in light ofevents in Japan?Jaczko: We'll do a thorough review on info from JapanMarkey: Should dist of KI be implemented as precaution as my law asks?Jaczko: Particular protective actions are responsibility of state & localsMarkey: But you're the expertsJaczko: Current policy is that we consider the use of KIMarkey: Do you recommend?Jaczko: State & locals make that choiceMarkey: They don't have the expertise.Markey: San Onofre rated to withstand 7.0 earthquake; should we upgrade? IAEA toldJapan 2 years ago its reactors should be able to withstand moreJaczko: Plants are designed for ground motion & shaking based on historical data. It's an
appropriate standard but we'll look at lessons learnedMarkey: let's reexamine the idea of a maximum credible earthquake
Cassidy: Industry, gov't, and academics all need to be working together to review thisJaczko: We'll give a systematic and methodical review. And in normal times we alreadyreach out to stakeholdersCassidy: River Bend specifics?Jaczko: Plants are built to withstand natural phenomena, each reactor has at least 2 dieselgens or some kind of electrical power supplyCassidy: New nuke plants required to withstand planes?Jaczko: YesCassidy: If a meltdown occurs how effective is a containment structure?Jaczko: it's meant to contain
Dingell: Review?Jaczko: Once we have full info we'll do a reviewDingell: (asks for submission of info on plans post review, lessons learned, process bywhich nrc uses new information)Dingell: Do NRC's licensing standards include protections against earthquake andtsunami?Jaczko: All natural phenomenaDingell: Submit kinds of disasters NRC takes into accountDingell: You have an unholy mess on your hands in terms of Yucca. Any longterm plans?Jaczko: Longer timeframe for dry cask storageDingell: No plans for how to deal anywhere in gov't?Jaczko: Not an area NRC directly works; Chu has blue ribbon commission
Burgess: An email has been circulated discussing high levels of radiationJaczko: Not familiar with that email but there have been times when readings wereelevatedBurgess: What levels?Jaczko: We have seen lethal levelsBurgess: Are there any addendums to your current budget request in light of situation inJapan?Jaczko: I don't have an answer yetBurgess: In a perfect world what percentage of power supply is nuclear?Jaczko: Not up to us to decide, we just guarantee safetyBurgess: How many plants could you handle?Jaczko: We can handle all additional planned unitsBurgess: What's your ideal situation on nuclear waste?Jaczko: trying to keep everything safe keeps me up at night already; somebody else candeal with general policy questions
Doyle: (qs about process of hearing Dr Ma's complaints)Doyle: His concerns were put forward and reviewers overruled his concerns, as didACRS... what was the process?Jaczko: I feel very strongly that we create an environment at this agency where concernscan be vetted and in this case I believe they were

From: Janberas. HollyTo: Harrington, HollySubject: Senate Hearing QsDate: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 5:45:00 PM
Missed the first few minutes while typing up qs from House hearing, so I missed Boxer'sapparently brutal first round of questions to Borchardt.
Inhofe: Do you agree with Chu's statements on safety of plants?Jaczko: We work every day to keep plants safe and secure, but we'll input any lessonslearnedInhofe: Did you coordinate with him on statements?Jaczko: We're an independent body but we're working with gov't on assisting JapanInhofe: Assistance?Jaczko: 11 experts, working with regulators, make suggestions & recommendations onequipment and strategies, etc
Sanders: (list of issues in Japan, discussion of US Mark I reactors, quotes NYT GE articleabout warnings on design)Sanders: Will NRC reevaluate its recommendation on VY's extension?Jaczko: Modifications will be based on what we learn; if we find info that says changesneeded, we'll input itSanders: (NYT quote again about warnings)Jaczko: Yes, there have been concerns, but we think we've made changes to improve.There are two specific ones to that design to deal with some problems. We believe wehave a good system & program in placeSanders: I'm sure you do but VT is not reassured
Lautenberg: NYT article discusses warnings - how did these Mark I plants manage to getbuilt?Jaczko: I believe some came into service after 1972. But they're not exactly the same; likeplanes that may be vintage but still fly because systems have been upgraded &modifications made.Lautenberg: Airplanes are not a fair analogy, and you show poor judgment in using that.This situation is scaring everyone; what can be done to assure safety? Would you licensea new plant based on this design?Jaczko: I don't want to speculate on a specific design, it's a processLautenberg: Do you think a licensee would want to?Jaczko: We don't have detailed info on what happened in Japan yet, so I don't knowLautenberg: In Japan they have a lot of experience with their plants; are you saying theseupgrades you mentioned weren't done?Jaczko: I don't know what upgrades they do in JapanLautenberg: They thought they could handle it and that wasn't the case. How can weknow?Jaczko: We have systematic program to monitor safety & systems of plants, we doanalysis to look at accidents, we plan for things. After 9/11 changes were made to dealwith attacks but those end up supporting accident scenarios too
Carper: NRC encourages safety culture but we want to see it at all plants.Carper: How can we put lessons learned to work?
Jaczko: At this pt no detailed plan yet, important to approach it systematically &methodically - use good facts so we can make good decisionsCarper: A lot of folks weren't alive for Chernobyl & TMI; could you explain differences?Jaczko: This is serious situation that will continue for some time, we don't know how it willunfold yet. TMI had mechanical probs & human error, core had some melting containedw/I structure. Chernobyl was different event, large release of radioactive material in veryshort span of time + explosion. (analogy) difference between popping a balloon and havinga balloon leak over long period of timeCarper: How many people died from Chernobyl?Jaczko: Unsure of numbers; for tmi no direct fatalitiesCarper: How many lives have been lost from nuke plants?Jaczko: none from plants. Sometimes radiation contamination occurs in supportingindustries.Carper: that's a good record, but we can still do better
Gillibrand: Nation faces other risk than physical - cyberterrorism, etcJaczko: We have program in place to deal with cyber security. Most systems don't involvedigital systems, but licensees still have to come up with plans to deal with cyber issuesGillibrand: What kind of modifications will be made?Jaczko: security-wise, I can't get specificGillibrand: We should increase redundancies for outagesJaczko: Robust security requirements, conduct exercises to protect plants from externalthreats, all plants post-9/11 implemented procedures & equipment to mitigate fires &explosions - industry also prestages other equipment they might needGillibrand: (cites msnbc piece on report published re: NRC only having detailed seismicdata on plant fragility for 1/3 of plants)Jaczko: Unfamiliar with that piece, but we've been working on updated analysis for central& eastern plants. We're always looking for new info and then make a determination ifimmediate action needs to be taken - in this case noGillibrand: Can you retrofit or enhance old plants to make them safer in light of reviews?Jaczko: If necessary that's what we'll doGillibrand: How long would that take?Jaczko: I don't want to speculate, but there are no immediate safety concerns
Boxer: Please don't compare what happened in Japan to airplanesJaczko: I was likening the way models are retrofitted, that's allBoxer: You said dealing with a situation like what happened in Japan is straightforward - itjust involves cooling the plant. So what went wrong?Jaczko: I don't want to speculateBoxer: Either you are criticizing Japan or you're leaving a lot of questions for USunanswered.Boxer: Tell me about seriousness of seismic activity and how many plants are in eachzoneJaczko: We'll give you that infoBoxer: LA Times said a CA tsunami could come without warning. I'm very concerned. ThisJapanese plant was built to withstand some things and got worse events. Given thestakes, this is worrying. 7 million people live close to San Onofre; 1/2 million near DiabloCanyon. You've suggested Americans move 50 miles from Fukushima. Feinstein and Iwant an immediate look at our plants. Go back and read the 2008 report that there couldbe new issues at San Onofre, and get back to me.
Boxer: You're doing nothing new. All the other countries are doing things, but I don't hearanything proactive. Why shouldn't I be worried?Jaczko: We're going to be looking at what happens in Japan, we're not doing nothingBoxer: Isn't this a warning that we should be humbled. Is not issuing new license too muchto ask? I need reassuranceJaczko: We're going to move forward w/ review. I don't know Japanese review system. Wehave a lot of safeguards to deal with unknown unknownsBoxer: I have 2 plants in CA built w/ 1970s assumptions. It's 2011. I'm telling you there's atleast 1 new report we haven't seen action on. Feinstein and I are gonna follow up on this;we want more leadership than we've gotten
Lautenberg: Should we restudy evacuation routes? What's a safe distance for families?Have we found changes in climate?Jaczko: Those are all issues we want to consider. We'll have to see what happened inJapan and what worked. I've never seen this agency shy away from making a change.Even just local changes in weather patterns can affect plants, and we make thosechanges. What you express are things I worry about and try to make sure there areprograms to deal with that are well grounded in scientific fact.Lautenberg: How close were our warships that noted elevated rad ratings?Jaczko: My understanding is 100 mi away, they received low-level radiation notunexpected and consistent with cooling process.Lautenberg: Does that tell us something about kind of riskJaczko: I'm aware of rad detection at levels not harmful to public health & safety

Green: Can you talk about review process for new plants like Texas and how long NRCand OMB process takes?Jaczko: South Texas Project was one of first applications we received for new license.We're continuing to do review, we're nearing significant milestones for design reviews onthat type of reactor. It's out for public comment. If we resolve comments over summer wewould move forward with completing final reviews necessary, maybe within 12 mos. Ourfocus first and foremost is on safety.Green: Timeframe it was filed?Jaczko: 2007? Within several mos we had to suspend review because applicant made achange in vendor they were using to support design, so that paused progress for about ayear.Green: Agency looks at that plant and applications for safety?Jaczko: For all natural phenomenaGreen: Have staff provide technological advances on current & proposed plants in UScompared to what's happening in Japan
Upton: Tell us what functions are of 11 folks you sent to Japan?Jaczko: The 11 individuals sent to Japan are providing variety of services.

Chairman Jaczko's opening remarks focus on Japan; he submitted comments on budget for therecord.
-covers NRC response, safety at reactors here, our radiation monitoring and how we'll use lessons
learned, our intent to continue helping with Japan
-update on current status of reactors: monitoring four reactors at Fukushima No. 1, three have
suffered some degree of core damage, seawater being injected with reported stable cooling,
primary containment described as functional; unit 2 core cooling not stable, but we currently
believe primary containment is continuing to function; unit 2 spent fuel pool level is decreasing;
unit 3 we believe spent fuel pool integrity has been compromised; fourth reactor which was shut
down at time of earthquake is also under concern - hydrogen explosion due to uncovering at
spent fuel pool; we believe no water at spent fuel pool atm, radiation levels high which could
impact ability to take corrective measures; IAEA report on other two reactors is that spent fuel
pools water level down slightly
-NRC made recommendation that we would evacuate to a larger distance in US, up to approx 50
miles; our ambassador has issued a statement to American citizens in Japan saying as much
-we continue to monitor situation with our limited availability

Subject: kudos to all
Four hours ago, the chairman called me to tell me to go home and get some rest. So, here I sit in a hotel roomfinishing up my emails and listening to some guy from Burson-Marstetler hustle me for business. I finally toldhim I had to get off the line because I had something important to do. (he made some good points that perhapswe can use going forward, but I don't think I'll hire him.)
What I had to do was tell you what the chairman also said to me. He told me that he thought Public Affairs wasdoing a great job in dealing with all the issues being thrown at us. I always agree with the chairman, well mostof the time, and this happens to be one of them.
Not only have OPAers pitched in with long days and long nights, others in the agency have now come to ouraid and it is making our collective job much easier. In fact, we are now bringing in some additional help and Isuspect when all the paperwork is done you may recognize at least one of the names.
I am so honored to be working with such a bunch of professionals. I can go out with the chairman on his manyrounds and know without fail that the job is getting done.
As reporters, many of us had front row seats at history. Today, we are part of making history and it is a time wewill never forget. The days will continue to be long, but hopefully we can start giving folks some time off. Onething to remember: This is a marathon, not a sprint. (Yeah, how many times have you hard that metaphoreused?) Pace yourself. Take time to go outside and enjoy the spring, feel the sun on your face, and come backknowing you are doing a damn fine job.
I thank you.

William,
I hope this reaches you, and I hope I'm not just wasting your time. Their efforts in Japan on cooling the spent fuelsuggests to me that this "pool" is outdoors. They tried to reach it with water cannons which also suggests to me thatthe safe distance needed is not too far for what I suggest. I believe that helicopters can bring in hoses and direct them
26
to the pool(s). They would have to be weighted of course to anchor them. And from a safer distance pump waterthrough them. I hope this helps!

Hello,
We've seen on TV how the Japanese have tried to dump water on the reactors or rods to help coolthem down. I believe this process has been suspended because the water is drifting away from its
target.Why not try dropping large chunks of ice from the helicopters or even dry ice. The ice would have atendency to fall straight to its target. You would have the effect of cooling & eventual melting of theice to cover the rods, etc. Is it worth a try?

A ranking of the 104 nuclear reactors is shown at the bottom of this article, listing the NRC estimate of risk of
catastrophic failure caused by earthquake.
Based on those new maps, the NRC published in August 2010 new estimates of the earthquake risk at nuclearpower reactors in the eastern and central states.
Overall, it took five years and three months from the staff recommendation until the seismic task force

The NRC is aware that Union of Concerned Scientists issued a report today regarding thesafety of U.S. nuclear power plants in 2010. With the NRC monitoring events in Japan, wehave not had the opportunity to review the report in depth.

comments: I am an MIT graduate, thoughin this field. Japan needs water in itsnuclear reactor cooling pools. Why notjust install a new pipe running from aremote pumping station, up the side ofthe cooling pool and hooked over therim? A helecopter could lower it intoposition. I expect that it could be madeof a flexible material, except the lastlength of it, which would be metal towithstand heat. In order to prevent backpressure at the nozzle from disturbingits positon, have the very end of thepipe bent upward. Thus, the backpressure will be downward to keep thepipe in position. They could build andtest this device within 24 hours andthen install it on the real site.

Team OIP -
First of all, thank you for providing input on such short notice concerning OIP's coverage of the
international liaison desks in the Ops Center. Attached you will find the coverage sheet from March
21 through April 15. Most of you will work for three days on, followed by six days off. The reason
for this is that management believed it was important to maintain staff consistency in the Ops
Center, while not overburdening specific people.
Please read the following information carefully:
* I did my best to incorporate when you all preferred to work. Since most people preferred
7am-3pm, this did not always work.
0 I did my best to incorporate feedback concerning you leave, CWS and travel into the
document, this did not always work.
* If you are scheduled to work a shift that you cannot work (whether because you have
leave, have other obligations, are on CWS, etc.), it is your responsibility to find a
replacement. I will maintain the master copy, so if there is a change, please email it to me.
I will plan on sending out updates to the sheet as necessary every few days.
* In addition to the people who have already been working in the Ops Center or will start
shifts there soon, feel free to reach out to Gerri, Wilkins, Andrea, Kirk and Brooke when
they return to the office. We have 20+ people in the office who are available and eager to
help, so it should not be too difficult to find a replacement when needed.
* At this point, we are under the assumption that we will need two people manning the
international liaison desk through April 15. If this changes, we will let you know.
Once again, please look at the coverage spreadsheet closely. Your name may only appear a few
times or it may appear 10+ times. In some cases you may have been substituted for people who are
away on travel in what may appear to be random fashion. It is your responsibility to show up during
your designated shift or to find a replacement for it. If you have any questions or concerns, please
reply directly to me onjy.
Please note: coverage through this Sunday (March 20) has already been finalized. The document
with this information is also attached.
Once again, thank you all for your contributions. Everyone understands this has been an
overwhelming and challenging time for OIP, but I think everyone's eagerness to help and flexibility
have been clearly demonstrated.
International Liaison Coverage for the NRC's Japan Disaster ResponseMarch 24-April 15, 2011
Below you will find the schedule for OIP coverage of the Ops Center. If you cannot work a shift you arescheduled for, it is your responsibility to find a replacement. Once again, thank you for your time, effort andflexibility.

Hi ladies, it's Jen.
Did we ever close the loop about the inquiry from the UK about whether the Chairman or someone
else spoke to Weightman and whether we can share source term data with them? If not, I may just
ask PMT if we can share source term data with them (though I'm not sure they will say yeS).

Ivonne ... I would like to ask a favor ... could you bundle these messages up about every15 to 30 minutes or so. That would avoid the horrendous clutter that I have to wadethrough. If they are local affiliate requests, just refer them to the regional offices which bynow should be equipped with sufficient information to at least get started.
Please group network shows together ... then group print calls in a list.
Helps me prioritize where to throw our resources.

We plan to staff the International Liaison Desk(s) in Ops Center through April 15. Our plan is to
have nine teams of two people. You will be expected to work for three consecutive days on a
specific shift (7am-3pm, 3-11pm or l1pm-7am) and then have off for the following six days (for
example, you will work the 7am shift on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; the next time you
would work is next Wednesday).
Please respond to this email with:
* Any specific timeslot (NOT DATE) that you cannot work (i.e. if you know you can never
work the 3-11pm shift)
* If you have a preference for the 3-11pm or 11pm-7am timeslot.
Once we populate the calendar, you will be able to swap on specific dates if necessary. We will
attempt to shift people, so they are not required to work all overnights, all mornings, all evening,etc.

Hi Christianne,
I believe I was speaking with you earlier today on the NRCs estimates for West Coast radiationexposure from Japan. Just had a question on the press release and chart you had referred me to(http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/news/2011/11-050 Attchmt.pdf), giving levels closer to
the reactor site. Are the T EDE (Total Effective Dose Equivalent) maximum dose (rem) levels in thatchart just instantaneous/continuous measures, or is that over a unit of time, and if so, what unit?
Thanks very much.

Team OIP -
First of all, thank you for providing input on such short notice concerning OIP's coverage of the
international liaison desks in the Ops Center. Attached you will find the coverage sheet from March
21 through April 15. Most of you will work for three days on, followed by six days off. The reason
for this is that management believed it was important to maintain staff consistency in the Ops
Center, while not overburdening specific people.
Please read the following information carefully:
* I did my best to incorporate when you all preferred to work. Since most people preferred
7am-3pm, this did not always work.
0 I did my best to incorporate feedback concerning you leave, CWS and travel into the
document, this did not always work.
* If you are scheduled to work a shift that you cannot work (whether because you have
leave, have other obligations, are on CWS, etc.), it is your responsibility to find a
replacement. I will maintain the master copy, so if there is a change, please email it to me.
I will plan on sending out updates to the sheet as necessary every few days.
* In addition to the people who have already been working in the Ops Center or will start
shifts there soon, feel free to reach out to Gerri, Wilkins, Andrea, Kirk and Brooke when
they return to the office. We have 20+ people in the office who are available and eager to
help, so it should not be too difficult to find a replacement when needed.
* At this point, we are under the assumption that we will need two people manning the
international liaison desk through April 15. If this changes, we will let you know.
Once again, please look at the coverage spreadsheet closely. Your name may only appear a few
times or it may appear 10+ times. In some cases you may have been substituted for people who are
away on travel in what may appear to be random fashion. It is your responsibility to show up during
your designated shift or to find a replacement for it. If you have any questions or concerns, please
reply directly to me gnl.

From: Bonaccorso, AmySent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 4:28 PMTo: Harrington, HollyCc: Tobin, Jennifer; Ridge, Christianne; Deavers, RonSubject: FYI - concerns about Radnet not being public friendly
Holly:
Christianne just explained to me.....
RadNet isn't all it's cracked up to be. People have to go through a registration processand the Web site does not give dose. It gives a lot of highly technical information that thepublic would have no chance of interpreting. We had someone go to that site and emailus back with the info for an interpretation.. .so essentially he was going around in a circle...
It also doesn't give info about EPA's monitoring of milk, etc.
It's what is available - but I guess we just need to be careful about promoting it as a publicfriendly Web site with a lot of information that is easy to understand.
Thanks,
Amy

Thursday, Mairch 17, 2011.
The situation at the Fukushima reactor site in Japancontinues to be very serious and dynamic. The NRChas responded quickly and effectively to anincredibly challenging situation. We have staffed theOperations Center 24/7 since last Friday and wehave a team of 11 individuals who are in Japan to1) provide support to the U.S. ambassador and theembassy, 2) interface with the Japanese regulatorand licensee, and 3) help to facilitate coordinationof the U.S. Government response. The Chairmanwas on Capitol Hill yesterday to brief committees ofboth the House and Senate on what is happeningand how the NRC is responding. The quality of thework done by the NRC staff is clearly recognizedand appreciated by all of our stakeholders.
Given the available information, we continue to bevery concerned about the condition of three reactorcores and two spent fuel pools. Based oncalculations performed by NRC experts for thesituation as a whole, we now believe that it isappropriate for U.S. residents within 50 miles of theFukushima reactors to evacuate. Ourrecommendation is based on NRC guidelines forpublic safety that would be used in the U.S. undersimilar circumstances. At the same time, however,we do not expect any part of the U.S. or itsterritories to experience any harmful levels ofradioactivity, given the great distances involved. Wecontinue to do analyses to verify our understandingof this issue. The NRC is working closely with ourfederal partners to monitor radiation releases fromthe Japanese nuclear power plants.
We will continue to place emphasis oncommunication activities. The agency is beingflooded with phone calls from the media,stakeholders, and the general public. Once again,thank you to everyone who is pitching in to helpdeal with this volume of activity.
Given the dynamic situation, there will be an All-Hands meeting tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. in the OneWhite Flint auditorium, with VTC to the regions,Technical Training Center, and headquarterssatellite offices. Overflow seating will be available in
the TWFN Exhibit Area as well as the CommissionHearing Room. (There will also be a bridge line:888-820-8960; pass code: 8690842.) I will give
you an update on what we know, and answer anyquestions to the best of my ability. In addition, weare expecting to have a Commission meeting earlynext week. We will provide a link to the briefingmaterials as soon as possible. Finally, you may findthese documents prepared by the Office of NuclearReactor Regulation to be of interest:http://portal.nrc.gov/edo/nrr/default.asox.

The NRC Chairman has testified before Congress (yesterday) stating that we in theU.S. (including Alaska and Hawaii) are not expected to experience any harmful levels ofradioactivity.

FOLKS:
I've been working with Todd Barber for two days via phone and I need help. His concerns may merittalking to some technical experts in the Ops Center or forwarding to the military (?). He has reachedout to FAA (no response), and Helen (our DHS contact we are referring these concerns to below) andthey still don't have any guidance to give him - but took notes off of it.
He is with Gulf Stream Aerospace and they really need to know what danger these exposed aircraftpose once they are back from Japan. They know how to deal with people - but don't know how toaddress the aircraft. Is the water they use to clean it contaminated, for instance? Someone has toknow (maybe the military?). The Japanese are hiring planes to take them out of these locationsbecause the commercial airlines aren't flying, and this company makes some of those planes and aregetting questions.
In particular, he wants to know what isotopes are coming out of these reactors and their half-life - thiswould help them. He has a detailed email that he sent to Helen below.... He said he doesn'tnecessarily need perfect answers to everything up front - but something to get them started.
His phone number is 912-965-5317.
Thanks,
Amy

Subject: Nuclear contamination of aircraft operating in NorthernJapan
Ms. Sterling,I am Todd Barber, a Technical Specialist with Gulfstream Aerospace inSavannah, Ga. Gulfstream is a Division of General Dynamics that buildsBusiness Jets. Our aircraft are operated around the world, and have therange and capability to travel over 7000 miles non-stop. In the past 48hours we have received requests from several aircraft operators regardingexposure to radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi plant disaster. Some ofthe aircraft travel routinely to the US and are maintained in the US andsome are foreign Government aircraft based in Japan with US citizenstraveling periodically to the aircraft to maintain them.
As you see US citizens have or could have contact with these airplanes. We(Gulfstream) are not nor do we employ any Nuclear experts as this is not anormal operating environment for any civilian aircraft. We requestassistance with the following technical aspects of this disaster.- What is the life of the harmful isotopes that are in the atmosphere overNorthern Japan from the plant disaster?
-Is there a length of Quarantine time that these particles wouldbecome safe and be of no risk to personnel operating, Servicing, orMaintaining an aircraft that has come into contact withthem?
-Is there an acceptable decontamination procedure for equipment insuch an environment?
-If so, who could provide it, is oversight necessary, and howare cleanup products to be disposed of?-If an operator contacts us that they believe they are contaminated, whoshould they contact for assistance for safe cleanup of the contaminants-The ash, dust, and other airborne particulate could be on the outside ofthe aircraft, inside the fuselage from bleed air used for cabinpressurization, and inside the engines.
-Is the particulate altered by heat from passing thru a jet engine?and will it pose a threat to someone disassembling and maintaining thatengine at a later time?-How high in the atmosphere (Stratosphere and Troposphere) will the plumeof debris go, and how long will it be there and be hazardous.
-Is the particulate that is coming out of the reactor and present in theatmosphere corrosive?
-Does it have an impact upon metals such as Aluminum, low and highstrength Chromoly steels, Cres Steels, or Inconel.
-Does it impact composite materials such as Carbon Fiber orFiberglass?
-Does it impact Plastics and lexan materials such as those used forlight lenses?
-Does it impact Electrical Wiring, Wire insulation, Solid StateElectrical components, or Software
These are the basic questions we are trying to understand at present, but
any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I was speaking with you earlier today on the NRCs estimates for West Coast radiationexposure from Japan. Just had a question on the press release and chart you had referred me to(http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/news/2011/11-050 Attchmt.pdf), giving levels closer tothe reactor site. Are the T EDE (Total Effective Dose Equivalent) maximum dose (rem) levels in thatchart just instantaneous/continuous measures, or is that over a unit of time, and if so, what unit?
Thanks very much.

call/responseThursday, March 17, 2011 2:00:05 PM
We had a direct call in from Mr. Robert Danford of R.W. Bowman Company. 661-301 -3455. He indicated his company has experience with using robotic equipment inhazardous situations. He recommended the Japanese use robotic equipment inconjunction with fire trucks to supply water to the reactors and that the US Navy or AirForce could help. I assured him that we have many technical experts who are familiar withremote handling equipment and that we are supplying all possible technical expertise tothe Japanese. He was initially irritated that neither the EDO nor Chairman wouldpersonally accept his call. I indicated they were working 24/7 on the problem. Heeventually seemed satisfied that I would take note of the information he provided.

Subject: RE: OIP Ops Center Coverage: March 21-April 15Date: Thursday, March 17, 2011 2:50:39 PM
I spoke with Bill Gott, the head of the Ops center regarding accounting for OT, night differential, sundaypriemium, etc. He said that this is going to be handled differently for folks who are assigned to the opscenter full time than for those pulling this ad hoc task force duty. HOOs and HERO's have a list of TACcodes for them because they are perminately assigned to shift work. Bill says that our Admin folks willhave to figure out what TAC codes we will use for our augmentees.

Great work, Eric and thanks to all for your continued support and assistance. A couple ofreminders/thoughts ...
1. Please remember to charge your hours in the ops ctr to TAC # ZG0061, and toensure that you get compensated for shift/night differential pay, etc. (see the HOOfor details).
2. There are a couple of empty slots in the schedule between now and April 15. If youare unable to fill the slots, please see me or Steve.
Thanks again

Team OIP -
First of all, thank you for providing input on such short notice concerning OIP's coverage of the
international liaison desks in the Ops Center. Attached you will find the coverage sheet from March
21 through April 15. Most of you will work for three days on, followed by six days off. The reason
for this is that management believed it was important to maintain staff consistency in the Ops
Center, while not overburdening specific people.
Please read the following information carefully:
0 I did my best to incorporate when you all preferred to work. Since most people preferred
7am-3pm, this did not always work.
* I did my best to incorporate feedback concerning you leave, CWS and travel into the
document, this did not always work.
* If you are scheduled to work a shift that you cannot work (whether because you have
leave, have other obligations, are on CWS, etc.), it is your responsibility to find a
replacement. I will maintain the master copy, so if there is a change, please email it to me.
I will plan on sending out updates to the sheet as necessary every few days.
0 In addition to the people who have already been working in the Ops Center or will start
shifts there soon, feel free to reach out to Gerri, Wilkins, Andrea, Kirk and Brooke when
they return to the office. We have 20+ people in the office who are available and eager to
help, so it should not be too difficult to find a replacement when needed.
* At this point, we are under the assumption that we will need two people manning the
international liaison desk through April 15. If this changes, we will let you know.
Once again, please look at the coverage spreadsheet closely. Your name may only appear a few
times or it may appear 10+ times. In some cases you may have been substituted for people who are
away on travel in what may appear to be random fashion. It is your responsibility to show up during
your designated shift or to find a replacement for it. If you have any questions or concerns, please
reply directly to me _gnW.
Please note: coverage through this Sunday (March 20) has already been finalized. The document
with this information is also attached.
Once again, thank you all for your contributions. Everyone understands this has been an
overwhelming and challenging time for OIP, but I think everyone's eagerness to help and flexibility
have been clearly demonstrated.

HiJenny-
Check with Janice on what she prefers you do. There were concerns from management about notburning people out. Maybe you can take one of those shifts (i.e. Sunday)? I'll tentatively put youthere.
So, to confirm, you have been added to Sunday, March 27 at 3pm.

Eric,I'd like to work with Nancy March 27-29 but if management doesn't want me to that's ok too(or I can just fill in on the Sunday since it wouldn't impact my regular schedule during theweek).

Dear Sir,
In response to your recent request for information from the United States NuclearRegulatory Commission (U.S. NRC):
"Is it required for plants to employ the most advanced public warning capability available?".
Each plant is required to have an early public warning system that meets U.S. NRC regulations and
is tested on a routine basis. You can find out more about this subject on our Internet web site:

From: Pete Wolfinger [mailto:[email protected]]Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 11:35 AMTo: OPAl RESOURCESubject: Challenge to Mr. laczko's Statement and Conclusion
Please convey this to Mr. Jaczko. Whether he takes it as an affront, an opportunity, ordismisses it out-of-hand is beyond my control, but I need to take the responsibility to saythis.
According to various sources, including NEI, Mr. Jaczko told Congress that the commissionbelieved all the water was gone from the Unit 4 pool. Given the plethora of otherinformation related to the pool parameters, together with the laws of physics, unless the poolwas breached I do not see how he can believe that. I have seen no mention of pool breach.Rather, I see this a completely inappropriate behavior on his part.
I am not saying that the situation is not bad. However, we in the nuclear industry mustconvey to the media only that which is known. I view what the commission "believes" inthis case as unsubstantiated, and I am respectfully disputing it. This is the questioning attitudedeveloped over 40 years in the commercial nuclear power industry.
If I am wrong, that's fine too, but lets think through things before we start telling stories ofdoom to Congress. There are plenty of other people to do that.
I work with the Japanese, and find them thinking and rational people. That, together withhaving substantial experience with station blackout accident progression, having written theaccident progression scenario for the BWR Hydrogen Contol Owners Group, having writtenemergency exercises with SBO as the initiator, and having operated this type of BWR as anSRO/Shift Supervisor under many faulted conditions, I am saying that those associated withthe nuclear industry need to get a diverse spectrum people involved who know what they aretalking about.
I can see now that lOCFR50.63 will be revisited, utility responses will be reevaluated, andthere will be EOP work to be done. Right now, though, I am respectfully challenging the"experts" to find and utilize someone with real experience and a questioning attitude so wedon't spread unnecessary panic. The academics can provide techincal support as required. Inthe meantime, I am challenging Mr. Jaczko's statement to a sanity check.

My first thoughts:
- We can send them to RadNet - the EPA monitors radiation levels -
http:www.cdx.epa.gov- And just say that NRC and EPA both agree that at this point, no danger. It's being
monitored.
I'm not sure that can we offer much more than that right now - I'm trying not to send Hollytoo much. It seems like part of our function is to hold back the public from distractingtechnical staff so they can focus on the Ops Center, etc .... so not every technical Q will get
thoroughly addressed through us.

HiJenny-
Check with Janice on what she prefers you do. There were concerns from management about not
burning people out. Maybe you can take one of those shifts (i.e. Sunday)? I'll tentatively put you
there.
So, to confirm, you have been added to Sunday, March 27 at 3pm.

Eric,I'd like to work with Nancy March 27-29 but if management doesn't want me to that's ok too(or I can just fill in on the Sunday since it wouldn't impact my regular schedule during theweek).
Thanks for your efforts on the schedule, it's quite a feat!

Team OIP -
First of all, thank you for providing input on such short notice concerning OIP's coverage of the
international liaison desks in the Ops Center. Attached you will find the coverage sheet from March
21 through April 15. Most of you will work for three days on, followed by six days off. The reason
for this is that management believed it was important to maintain staff consistency in the Ops
Center, while not overburdening specific people.
Please read the following information carefully:
I did my best to incorporate when you all preferred to work. Since most people preferred
7am-3pm, this did not always work.
* I did my best to incorporate feedback concerning you leave, CWS and travel into the
document, this did not always work.
* If you are scheduled to work a shift that you cannot work (whether because you have
leave, have other obligations, are on CWS, etc.), it is your responsibility to find a
replacement. I will maintain the master copy, so if there is a change, please email it to me.
I will plan on sending out updates to the sheet as necessary every few days.* In addition to the people who have already been working in the Ops Center or will start
shifts there soon, feel free to reach out to Gerri, Wilkins, Andrea, Kirk and Brooke when
they return to the office. We have 20+ people in the office who are available and eager tohelp, so it should not be too difficult to find a replacement when needed.
0 At this point, we are under the assumption that we will need two people manning the
international liaison desk through April 15. If this changes, we will let you know.
Once again, please look at the coverage spreadsheet closely. Your name may only appear a few
times or it may appear 10+ times. In some cases you may have been substituted for people who areaway on travel in what may appear to be random fashion. It is your responsibility to show up duringyour designated shift or to find a replacement for it. If you have any questions or concerns, please
reply directly to me only.
Please note: coverage through this Sunday (March 20) has already been finalized. The document
with this information is also attached.
Once again, thank you all for your contributions. Everyone understands this has been an
overwhelming and challenging time for OIP, but I think everyone's eagerness to help and flexibilityhave been clearly demonstrated.

From: Pete Wolfinger [mailto:[email protected]]Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 11:35 AMTo: OPAl RESOURCESubject: Challenge to Mr. Jaczko's Statement and Conclusion
Please convey this to Mr. Jaczko. Whether he takes it as an affront, an opportunity, ordismisses it out-of-hand is beyond my control, but I need to take the responsibility to saythis.
According to various sources, including NEI, Mr. Jaczko told Congress that the cormrnissionbelieved all the water was gone from the Unit 4 pool. Given the plethora of otherinformation related to the pool parameters, together with the laws of physics, unless the poolwas breached I do not see how he can believe that. I have seen no mention of pool breach.Rather, I see this a completely inappropriate behavior on his part.
I am not saying that the situation is not bad. However, we in the nuclear industry mustconvey to the media only that which is known. I view what the comnission "believes" inthis case as unsubstantiated, and I am respectfully disputing it. This is the questioning attitudedeveloped over 40 years in the commercial nuclear power industry.
If I am wrong, that's fine too, but lets think through things before we start telling stories ofdoom to Congress. There are plenty of other people to do that.
I work with the Japanese, and find them thinking and rational people. That, together withhaving substantial experience with station blackout accident progression, having written theaccident progression scenario for the BWR Hydrogen Contol Owners Group, having writtenemergency exercises with SBO as the initiator, and having operated this type of BWR as anSRO/Shift Supervisor under many faulted conditions, I am saying that those associated withthe nuclear industry need to get a diverse spectrum people involved who know what they aretalking about.
I can see now that 1OCFR50.63 will be revisited, utility responses will be reevaluated, andthere will be EOP work to be done. Right now, though, I am respectfully challenging the"experts" to find and utilize someone with real experience and a questioning attitude so wedon't spread unnecessary panic. The academics can provide techincal support as required. Inthe meantime, 1 am challenging Mr. Jaczko's statement to a sanity check.

If they are local affiliate requests, justrefer them to the regional offices which by now should be equipped with sufficient information to at least get

Hi Jenny,
I mentioned at standup this morning that you are helping at OPA. Given that we are asmall office, OIP Management asked me to find out how long OPA thinks they will needyou. They appreciate that you are helping out for today, but do not want you to commit tomuch more because OIP, too, is small office and is spread too thin. Depending on OPA'sneeds, they may also need to request help (like OIP has) from the larger program offices.

I received the following question from a foreign nuclear professional. I do not know theperson but he had sent me an e-mail asking some technical questions before.
In regards to the Japan nuclear crisis, we received an operational center bulletin,instructing all NRC employees to contact the NRC Operations Officer at 301-816-5100immediately. I did contact the Op Center when they are most busy.

Please first review this document and contact Larry Davidson of the Office of Human Resources(301-492-2286 or lawrence.davidson•,nrc..qov) for any needed assistance.
Work Schedules
One or more types of work schedules may be appropriate during a pay period in which youserve in and support the NRC Operations Center or work in Japan, in response to the current,serious nuclear power plant issues in that country. You are authorized to select the type of workschedule you will work during the pay period depending on:
" Your specific workdays and work clocks hours in the Operations Center or in Japan, aswell as any flexibility you have to choose those workdays and clock hours;
" Your entitlement to premium pay for work in the Operations Center or Japan;
" Your performance, if any, of regular duties outside of the Operations Center/Japan
during the pay period; and,
* Your loss of earned credit hours if you switch from NEWFlex to another type of work
schedule.
Possible work schedules include:
" Compressed work schedule - Appropriate if, during the entire pay period, your workdaysand work clock hours are fixed (i.e., you do not have any flexibility to choose either) andthere are fewer than ten nonovertime workdays in the pay period (at least onenonovertime workday contains more than eight nonovertime hours). Note thatrestrictions on nonovertime work clock hours and weekend workdays have been lifted forthe pay period. An Expanded-Compressed Work Schedule may be appropriate (see theYellow Announcement at http://www.internal.nrc.qov/announcements/yellow/2003/2003-032.html and Article 6.10.3 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement).
* NEWFlex - Appropriate if, during at least a portion of the pay period, you have somediscretion to select your workdays and/or work clock hours (for example, if/whenperforming regular duties outside of the Operations Center or Japan). Note thatrestrictions on nonovertime work clock hours and weekend workdays have been lifted forthe pay period.
* First-40 - Appropriate if it is impracticable to prescribe a regular schedule of definitehours of duty for each workday of the workweek (likely not appropriate).

Bethany spent most of the day watching the testimony today. I understand we'll be getting fulltranscript soon (not sure by what process), but I asked Bethany to compile what appeared to bethe major questions/comments posed to the Chairman:
Sen. Boxer: You're doing nothing new. Other countries are responding to the situation, butI don't see anything proactive being done in the U.S. I have two plants in California thatwere built based on 1970s assumptions. It's 2011. I know there's at least one new reporton seismic activity we haven't seen action on. My fellow senator and I want to see moreleadership from the NRC than we've gotten.
Reps. Whitfield/Markey/Doyle: Have you had an opportunity to review John Ma's concernson the AP1000 design? What was the process that took place following his objections?
Rep. Shimkus: I don't believe your actions on Yucca Mountain were consistent with yourlegal authority. Federal position by law is that Yucca should be open, and there is no legalauthority to close the repository. The only decision that's been rendered is that of theadministration to pull funding. I hope you're well-prepared to have a further debate on the
legal authority of the NRC in this regard.
Rep. Markey: Does the NRC recommend use of KI in emergency situations in the UnitedStates? It should be your position to recommend it, as State and local government officialsdon't have the expertise to do so.
Rep. Markey: We need to re-examine the idea of "maximum credible earthquake."
Rep. Dingell: You have an unholy mess on your hands with the Yucca Mountain situation.Are there any long-term plans to handle the repository matter anywhere in thegovernment?
Reps. Rush/Cassidy/Dingell: Do our plants' safety standards adequately address the typesof problems we've seen in Japan, where there were multiple cascading events?
Reps. Cassidy: Do our plants' safety standards adequately address the problems that canoccur with loss of site power?

I hope you're well-prepared to have a further debate on thelegal authority of the NRC in this regard.
Rep. Markey: Does the NRC recommend use of KI in emergency situations in the UnitedStates? It should be your position to recommend it, as State and local government officialsdon't have the expertise to do so.
Rep. Markey: We need to re-examine the idea of "maximum credible earthquake."
Rep. Dingell: You have an unholy mess on your hands with the Yucca Mountain situation.Are there any long-term plans to handle the repository matter anywhere in thegovernment?
Reps. Rush/Cassidy/Dingell: Do our plants' safety standards adequately address the typesof problems we've seen in Japan, where there were multiple cascading events?
Reps. Cassidy: Do our plants' safety standards adequately address the problems that canoccur with loss of site power?

I agree with Amy.
From: Bonaccorso, AmySent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 12:09 PMTo: Ridge, ChristianneCc: Tobin, Jennifer; Deavers, RonSubject: RE: Question from Public
My first thoughts:
- We can send them to RadNet - the EPA monitors radiation levels - http:v-ww.cdx.epa.gov- And just say that NRC and EPA both agree that at this point, no danger. It's being monitored.
I'm not sure that can we offer much more than that right now - I'm trying not to send Holly too much. It seemslike part of our function is to hold back the public from distracting technical staff so they can focus on the OpsCenter, etc .... so not every technical Q will get thoroughly addressed through us.
Ron can weigh in too.

Amy, Ron, Do we have somewhere to direct folks regarding the basis for our conclusion that the effects on theUS west coast would not be harmful? I know CDC is answering health questions, but we would be the onescalculating the dose from the radiation data.Thanks
