AFFIDAYIT OF DR. HOWARD MITCHELL I, Dr. Howard Mitchell, being duly sworn, state under oath the following:

(1) I am the Health Officer of San Luis Obispo County

(" County" ), California, having served in this position since July 8, 1976.

I reside at Shell Beach, San Luis Obispo County, California.

(2) The County Health Agency has the responsibility to develop, implement and coordinate an overall plan for medical and health services during an emergency. As County Health Officer, my staff and I are responsible, among other things, for determining the extent of radiation beyond the Diablo Canyon site boundary in the event of a radiological emergency, and the proper medical care of persons who might be injured in such an emergency.

(3) The County does not have adequate nor sufficiently sophisticated equipment to monitor for radiation beyond the plant confines nor does it have adequate communication equipment to reach headquarters or other County personnel.

(4) The County Health Office is inadequately staffed to respond effectively to a radiological emergency at Diablo Canyon and carry out at the same time its regular environmental protection duties.

~ C 2.

(5) The County has inadequate medical facilities to care for or transport the persons who.might be injured in a radiological emergency

~

at Diablo Canyon. Except for French Hospital, which has limited facilities,

,the County's hospitals have not developed plans to treat'persons injured in a radiological accident nor have they conducted training necessary for implementation. of such plans.

(6) The County is inadequately prepared and has never attempted to evacuate persons in an orderly manner from the low population zone ("LPZ")

which has limited ingress or egress and the difficult terrain, as well as the difficulty in advising LPZ residents of actions to be taken in the event of an emergency.

'(7) I am familiar with and, indeed, on April 18, 1977, signed off on behalf of the County Health Agency, the Division of Environmental Health's Standard Operating Procedure for Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response. While I believe these procedures, on paper, were thought to be adequate generally at that time, the County, as outlined above, cannot respond effectively and expeditiously to implement these procedures so as to respond to a radiologic emergency at Diablo Canyon.

(8) It would take considerable time, equipment, training and personnel before the'ounty Health Agency is reasonably ready 'to respond adequately to an emergency involving off8ite radioactive releases from the Diablo Canyon facility.
