EVACUATION SENSITIVITY STUDIES This appendix presents the results of a series of sensitivity analyses.
These analyses are designed to identify the sensitivity of the ETE to changes in some base evacuation conditions.
M.1 Effect of Changes in Trip Generation Times A sensitivity study was performed to determine whether changes in the estimated trip generation time have an effect on the ETE for the entire EPZ. Specifically, if the tail of the mobilization distribution were truncated (i.e., if those who responded most slowly to the Advisory to Evacuate, could be persuaded to respond much more rapidly), how would the ETE be affected?
The case considered was Scenario 6, Region 3; a winter, midweek, midday, good weather evacuation of the entire EPZ. Table M-1 presents the results of this study.Table M-1. Evacuation Time Estimates for Trip Generation Sensitivity Study 3 Hours 2:25 3:20 3 Hours 30 Minutes 2:25 3:40 4 Hours (Base) 2:25 4:10 As discussed in Section 7.3, traffic congestion persists within the EPZ for about 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and 15 minutes. As such, the ETE for the 1 0 0 th percentile mirrors trip generation time after 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and 15 minutes. The 90th percentile ETE is not sensitive to truncating the tail of the mobilization time distribution.
The results indicate that programs to educate the public and encourage them toward faster responses for a radiological emergency, translate into shorter ETE at the 1 0 0 th percentile.
The results also justify the guidance to employ the [stable] 9 0 th percentile ETE for protective action decision making.Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant M-1 KLD Engineering, P.C.Evacuation Time Estimate Rev. 1 M.2 Effect of Changes in the Number of People in the Shadow Region Who Relocate A sensitivity study was conducted to determine the effect on ETE of changes in the percentage of people who decide to relocate from the Shadow Region. The case considered was Scenario 6, Region 3; a winter, midweek, midday, good weather evacuation for the entire EPZ. The movement of people in the Shadow Region has the potential to impede vehicles evacuating from an Evacuation Region within the EPZ. Refer to Sections 3.2 and 7.1 for additional information on population within the shadow region.Table M-2 presents the evacuation time estimates for each of the cases considered.
The results show that the ETE is not impacted by shadow evacuation from 0% to 20%. Tripling the shadow percentage increases the ETE by 20 minutes at the 9 0 th percentile
-a material change. Decreasing the shadow percentage to 13 percent, reflecting the telephone survey results presented in Appendix F, does not have an effect on ETE.Table M-2. Evacuation Time Estimates for Shadow Sensitivity Study EvcaigEvcainTmeEtmt orEtr P PretShao Shadow 0 1 0 1 2:25 1 4:10 13 5,628 2:25 4:10 20 (Base) 8,658 2:25 4:10 60 25,974 2:45 4:10 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Evacuation Time Estimate M-2 KLD Engineering, P.C.Rev. I M.3 Effect of Changes in EPZ Resident Population A sensitivity study was conducted to determine the effect on ETE of changes in the resident population within the study area (EPZ plus Shadow Region). As population in the study area changes over time, the time required to evacuate the public may increase, decrease, or remain the same. Since the ETE is related to the demand to capacity ratio present within the study area, changes in population will cause the demand side of the equation to change. The sensitivity study was conducted using the following planning assumptions:
- 1. The percent change in population within the study area was varied between -90% and+50%. Changes in population were applied to permanent residents only (as per federal guidance), in both the EPZ area and in the Shadow Region.2. The transportation infrastructure remained fixed; the presence of new roads or highway capacity improvements were not considered.
- 3. The study was performed for the 2-Mile Region (R01), the 5-Mile Region (R02) and the entire EPZ (R03).4. The good weather scenario which yielded the highest ETE values was selected as the case to be considered in this sensitivity study (Scenario 1).Table M-3 presents the results of the sensitivity study.Section IV of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, and NUREG/CR-7002, Section 5.4, require licensees to provide an updated ETE analysis to the NRC when a population increase within the EPZ causes ETE values (for the 2-Mile Region, 5-Mile Region or entire EPZ) to increase by 25 percent or 30 minutes, whichever is less. Note that all of the base ETE values are greater than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />; 25 percent of the base ETE is always greater than 30 minutes. Therefore, 30 minutes is the lesser and is the criterion for updating.Those percent population changes which result in ETE changes greater than 30 minutes are highlighted in red below -a 50% increase in the EPZ population.
It is highly unlikely that an updated ETE analysis will be required due to a decrease in population.
According to Table M-3, with a 90% decrease in population, the ETE for the full EPZ decreases by only 20 minutes. Xcel Energy will have to estimate the EPZ population on an annual basis. If the EPZ population increases by 50% or more, an updated ETE analysis will be needed.Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant M-3 KLD Engineering, P.C.Evacuation Time Estimate Rev. 1 Table M-3.

- 1. Examination of the general population ETE in Section 7 shows that the ETE for 100 percent of the population is generally 1 to 2 / hours longer than for 90 percent of the population.
Specifically, the additional time needed for the last 10 percent of the population to evacuate can be as much as double the time needed to evacuate 90 percent of the population.
This non-linearity reflects the fact that these relatively few stragglers require significantly more time to mobilize (i.e. prepare for the evacuation trip) than their neighbors.
This leads to two recommendations:
- a. The public outreach (information) program should emphasize the need for evacuees to minimize the time needed to prepare to evacuate (secure the home, assemble needed clothes, medicines, etc.).b. The decision makers should reference Table 7-1 which list the time needed to evacuate 90 percent of the population, when preparing recommended protective actions, as per NUREG/CR-7002 guidance.2. Staged evacuation is not beneficial because traffic congestion within the 5-mile region never extends upstream to the point where it creates an impedance to evacuees from within the 2-mile region. Staged evacuation also adversely impacts many evacuees located beyond the 2-mile region since they are forced to unnecessarily wait before they can start their evacuation trip.3. The roadway impact scenario -a single lane eastbound on Interstate-94 from a location by MNGP (between exits 183 and 193) to the end of the analysis-network at the interchange with SR-101 (exit 207) -has a significant impact on ETE with increases of up to 45 minutes for both the 9 0 th and 1 0 0 th percentiles.
State and local law enforcement could consider traffic management tactics such as re-routing of traffic along other evacuation routes to avoid overwhelming 1-94. All efforts should be made to remove the blockage on 1-94 as expeditiously as possible.
- 4. Counties should implement procedures whereby schools and daycares are contacted prior to dispatch of buses from the depots to get an accurate count of students needing transportation and the number of buses required (See Section 8).5. Table 8-5 indicates that there are insufficient transportation resources to evacuate the transit-dependent population and special facility population within the EPZ in a single wave. A second wave is required to evacuate all students and staff at schools and daycares.
Mobilization time for the evacuation of the transit-dependent population, ambulatory and wheelchair-bound persons residing in medical facilities and ambulatory and wheelchair-bound homebound special needs persons are dictated by when buses have returned to the EPZ after the first wave evacuation of schoolchildren has been completed.
The second-wave ETE for transit-dependent population exceeds the general population ETE at the 90th percentile.
See Sections 8.4 and 8.5.6. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) such as Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), Highway Advisory Radio (HAR), Automated Traveler Information Systems (ATIS), etc. could be used to facilitate the evacuation process (See Section 9). The placement of additional signage should consider evacuation needs.7. Counties/State could establish strategic locations to position tow trucks provided with gasoline containers in the event of a disabled vehicle during the evacuation process (see Section 11) and could encourage gas stations to remain open during the evacuation.
- 8. Counties/states could establish a system/procedure to confirm that the Advisory to Evacuate is being adhered to (see the approach suggested by KLD in Section 12). Should the approach recommended by KLD in Section 12 be used, consideration should be given to keep a list of telephone numbers within the EPZ in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at all times.
