DETAILS The licensee must demonstrate that physical and administrative means exist for alerting and providing prompt instructions to the public within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The design' objective of the system shall be to have the capability to essentially complete the initial notification of the public within 15 minutes. The technical basis for review of the system is given in NUREG-0654, Appendix 3.
This inspection report is not in the usual format.
It generally consists of questions directed at licensee personnel and their answers. The questions and answers, and observations by the inspector,are the basis for determining if the prompt public notification system installed is as described in the licensee's Emergency Plan or other correspondence sent to the Commission.
1.
Physically verify that sirens are in place by observing a random sample of siren locations.
About five percent of the installed siren system were physically sighted.
The total system consists of 358 sirens. Of these, 33 were in existence previously but have been incorporated in the prompt public notification system. Three hundred twenty three new sirens have been installed by the licensee and two more are awaiting final settlement of siting problems with local communities. A description of the prompt public notification system is described in the September 9, 1981 letter and study submitted to the NRC as well as the attached manufacturers system description.
2.
The following questions were directed to licensee personnel:
a.
Will the system provide both an alert and informational or instruc-tional message to the population throughout the ten mile Emergency Planning Zone within 15 minutes?
The system provides an alert signal and then relies on people to turn on their televisions and radios to the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) in their area.
The sirens installed by the licensee (323 units) have public announcement capability.
b.
What systems (if messages cannot be transmitted through a. above)
would be used to provide an instructional message to the public after the sirens have been activated?
The primary means is through the Emergency Broadcast System.
If the need arises, however, the public announcement capability can be used if necessary. Mobile announcements are used in state parks and recreation area,
.
.
.
c.
Does the public information distribution program provide information regarding the system? (Explain)
Yes. A public information brochure was mailed out on April 30, 1982; the prompt public notification system was declared operational on May 3, 1982.
d.
Does the initial alerting system assure direct coverage of essentially 100 percent of the population within 10 miles of the site 7 (Explain)
Yes. All areas within the 10 mile EPZ at Haddam Neck and Millstone are essentially covered by the alerting system, e.
What percent of the population between five and ten miles will not hear the initial signal?
Until tests are completed, the licensee assumes 100 percent coverage, as designed.
f.
What special arrangements have been made to assure 100. percent coverage within 45 minutes of the population within the entire 10 mile EPZ who may not have received the initial notification?
Local communities have route alerting procedures. Tone alert radios will be used to fill-in any gaps identified during the presently scheduled full-scale test in September 1982.
g.
What special arrangements for prompt notification have been made for special facilities such as schools, hospitals, and nursing homes?
None. All of the special facilities are covered by the installed siren system. The licensee plans to provide tone alert radios if the facilities desire.
h.
Have the sirens and/or other alerting devices been tested?
Yes.
The sirens were tested initially by the manufacturer prior to installation.
Silent and growl tests were conducted during installa-tion. The communities of Lyme and Waterford have fully tested their systems. Colchester and Groton plan to test their systems on June 12, 1982. An entire siren system test is planned for September 1982.
1.
Who is responsible for maintenance of the alerting (siren) system (e.g. licensee, local government, or State)?
The licensee is responsible for the maintenance with the exception of the 33 previously existing siren.
.
.
j.
Who has the authority to activate the alerting (siren) system?
,
Local governments have the authority to activate the system. The towns of Waterford and Deep River, activated their sirens during the flooding of June 6,1982.
k.
What Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) program has been established to assure continued reliability of the alerting (siren)
system?
The siren system QA/QC program uses guidance developed from NUREG-0654, Appendix 3 and the licensee has five full time personnel and one part-time assigned exclusively to QA/QC and maintain the siren system.
1.
Name of licensee contact:
Reginald Rogers, Manager, Corporate Radiological Assessment Branch 3.
Operational Test of the Siren System J
a.
What type of test? (Explain)
Four local communities have or are about to perform a full scale test of their portion of the system; Lyme, Waterford, Colchester and Groton.
During installation, each unit is silent and growl tested.
A full scale test of the entire system is planned for September
!
1982.
b.
Were State and local governments involved?
The towns of Lyme and Waterford activated their siren systems on June 6, 1982.
c.
Was FEMA present?
No.
