'V MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT Evacuation Time Estimates General The estimated time required for evacuation of people fromi-areas near nuclear power reactors is in response to a letter from the Nuclear Regulatory Comm sionfBGVn'td1 attached guidance titled, "Request for evacuation time estimates (after notification) for areas near nuclear power plants."

The estimated time provided herein for both the best.conditions and adverse conditions are times required to travel from a residence located within a specific sector, along a predetermined route, to a designated established location outside the sector being evacuated.

The states plan now calls for evacuation to a 10 mile distance.

In all cases, every evacuation sector defined in this study emanates from the reactor site outward to the prescribed radius.

These estimates were developed under the auspices of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Services, with assistance from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Emergency Operations Section, who furnished road traffic volume numbers and certain reasonable assumptions in developing the method used for determining the time estimates as outlined in the attachments. The Table identifies the 10 sectors at the generating plant, the estimated 1980 population involved, exit routes from each sector, and the evacuation time and confirmation time required in each sector.

The ten maps sh6w" d-g ta 1d:

i1 eea population, evacuation time, and confirmation time required.

Evacuation Preparation It is assumed a prior alert will provide time to prepare for the evacuation and therefore the estimates for the general evacuation do not include any time for preparation.

These times could vary from packing a hasty bag (20 minutes) to feeding livestock (several hours).

One special evacuation problem is the unwilling evacuee, who must be notified of alternate protective action, such as informing him by message to remain inside with windows and doors closed.

Confirmation of Evacuation Present plans (state and local) do not address this need specifically; however, during discussions regarding evacuations of residents, a door-to-door check was considered.

The time listed in the table for confirmation assumes a reasonable number of emergency vehicles available to perform this task.

METHOD USED FOR DETERMINING TIME ESTIMATES A process using population densities, local geography, and road capabilities has been used to determine the evacuation times.

1.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation MDOT) emergency operations, assumes that each vehicle carries two occupants average, so all seto:'

2in ltin'.

s the vehicles required to evacuate that sector.

2.

Exit routes are assigned traffic volume capacity amounts in "vehicles per hour capacity" (VPHC).

The lowest VPHC for any road in each exit route was used.

To provide conservatism to the time estimates, it was assumed that every vehicle in each segment (0-2) (2-5) (5-10) of every evacuation zone traveled the total distance through that segment.

3. Vehicle travel rate over exit roads are assigned a speed (MPH) according to the area; it.being "rural" or "urban."
4.

Adverse conditions; bad weather and seasonal road conditions according to MDOT should increase the evacuation time by 30 percent.

5.

If the number of vehicles (half the sector population) is less than the VPHC for the exit route, the time for evacuation depends on the vehicle travel rate.

Using the above concepts, the evacuation time estimates have been developed.

Special Facilities Evacuation The Emergency Medical Services Section of the Minnesota Department of Health provided the names of hospitals and nursing homes within the 10 mile radius of the nuclear plant and provided times required to load and transport patients.

For the adverse time required to evacuate the above facilities, the 30 percent increase in time used for general evacuation is reasonable.

It is assumed that confirmation of removal would be an integral part of the evacuation process carried out at each of the Special Facilities.
