Pacific Gas 8 Electric Company Diablo Canyon, Unit I Docket No. 50-275 77 Beale Street San Francisco, California 94106
SUBJECT:
PRE-OPERATIONAL PHYSICAL SECURITY INSPECTION TESTING On July 15, 1981 at 8:30 am, PDT during an announced physical security pre-operational inspection at the above facility, two NRC inspectors entered the Protected Area Access Control Building carrying a concealed, encapsulated, test weapon in each of two hand-carried brief cases.
The inspectors were subjected to routine explosive and metal detector screening and hand carried items were subjected to X-ray inspection.
Search procedures by a guard trainee failed to reveal one of the two test weapons by the X-ray screening.
Prior to the test, the licensee 'security shift supervisor was informed of the test details and was present during the test.
After the screening detected only one of the test items the contract guard force supervisor was apprised and corrective action initiated by arranging the test weapons (unconcealed) in several positions for X-ray testing for the benefit of contract guard force personnel training.
In a separate, unrelated action to facilitate NRC testing of the plant intrusion alarm
- system, the licensee temporarily prohibited access to construction workers to specific areas of the plant.
These tests were completed as of 11:30 am, PDT, July 17, 1981, and construction workers 'have again been authorized access to the previously prohibited, areas.
Region V. has clarified the routine nature of these tests to numerous media queries.
No news release is planned by the licensee or NRC
~
State of California has been notified.
Region V. became aware of increasing press interest at 1:40 pm, PDT, on July 17, 1981.
This information is current as of 3:15 pm, PDT, July 17, 1981.

SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REGARDING EVACUATION TIMES This letter is being sent to all applicants for construction permits and licensees of plants under construction.
The purpose of the letter is a request for informa-tion regarding estimates for evacuation of various areas around proposed nuclear power plants.
The information sought is described in our letter of December 26, 1979 (copy enclosed).
Th'e requested submittal date for this information was suspended by our letter of March 11, 1980.
Me are requesting that you submit evacuation time estimates on an accelerated basis to enable the NRC staff to identify, in a timely manner, those sites where evacuation constraints exist and special planning measures should be considered.
In some cases of extreme difficultywhere a large population is at risk, special facility modifications may also be appropriate.
The information requested in the enclosure should be submitted by August 1, 1980.
This time is shoI'ter than provided in the December 26, 1979 letter because of the need +or timely information and because the content of the information desired has been available to you for some months.
Units sharing the same site need not, of course, submit separate time estimates.
This special request for information has been submitted to the General Accounting Office and cleared by GAO as noted in the clearance block below:
Approved by GAO B-180225 (S80010)

UNITEDSTATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, O. C. 20555 December 26, 1979 APPLICANTS FOR CONSTRUCTION PERMITS AND LICENSEES OF PLANTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR iNFORMATION REGARDING EVACUATION TIMES This letter is being sent to all applicants for construction permits, and licensees of plants under construction.
The purpose of the letter is a
request for information regarding estimates for evacuation of various areas around future nuclear power plants.
The requested information is 'in addition to that requested by the November 21, 1979, letter to all applicants for an operating license and licensees of plants under construction from Domenic B. Vassallo, Acting Director, Division of Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
Although evacuation time estimates are expected to be prepared in the course of the upgrading of the state of emergency preparedness as previously specified submission of these estimates to the NRC is being requested on an accelerated time scale so that the NRC can identify those instances in which unusual evacuation constraints exist and special planning measures should be considered.
In some cases of extreme difficulty where a large population is at risk, special facility modifications may also be appropriate.
The information requested in the enclosure should be submitted no later than March 31, 1980.
Previous correspondence indicated that efforts to develop a model'plan were continuing.
It"now appears that the-model plan will not 'be completed on a
schedule which will be of use in developing upgraded plans in the near term.
The upgraded plan development should therefore proceed on a site-specific basis.
Sincerely,
~ y Brian K. Grimes, Director Emergency Preparedness Task Group Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

Enclos ure RE VEST FOR EVACUATION TIME ESTIMATES (AFTER NOTIFICATION)
FOR AREAS NEAR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS Back round Prior to recent NRC requests that means for prompt notification to the public be installed around each nuclear power plant site, a significant component of evacuation time estimates was the time required to notify the public of a need for evacuation.
Studies of actual evacuations that have taken place generally do not distinguish between the time required for notification, the time required to implement the evac~~tion, and the time requited to confirm that an evacuation has taken place.
The estimates for time required for evacuations now requested relate primarily to the time to implement an evacuation as opposed to the time required for notification.
These estimates may be based on previous local experiences (e.gee cnemical spills or floods) or may be based on studies related to population density, local geography and road capacities.
No standard method for making such estimates is identified for use at this time.
The basis for the method chosen should be described in the response.
As a check on the evacuation time estimates, comments on the time estimates made should be obtained from the principal local'fficials responsible for carrying out such evacuations.
Such comments should be included in the submittal.
The format given below is appropriate for reporting to the NRC estimates of the time required to implement evacuation of areas near nuclear 'poser plants.
These.estimates, are to be made for the primary purpose of making available, to those officials who,would make evacuation decisions in an emergency situation, knowledge of the time required to complete one of the protective action options (evacuation) available for a particular potentially affected segment of the population.
A second purpose of these estimates is to identify to all concerned those instances in which unusual evacuation constraints exist and that special planning measures should be considered.
In some cases of extreme difficulty where a large population is at risk, special facility modifications may also be considered.
Given a decision to evacuate rather than shelter in an actual
- event, fewer or more sectors or different distances than given in the reporting format might be evacuated should this be the chosen protective action.
For
- example, three 22-1/2'ectors might be initially evacuated in a downwind direction (the sector containing the plume and an adjacent sector on each side),
followed by the evacuation of other. sectors as a precautionary measure.
