Station, Unit 1) )

APPLICANTS' PREPARED TESTIMONY RELATED TO EMERGENCY PLAN The Metropolitan Edison Cenpany plans for coping with radiation emergencies are described in the Radiation Emergency Plan (FSAR App. 12A). The Radiation Emergency Plan is , in turn, a partion of a broader plan entitled, "Three Mile Island Emergency Plan". The TMI Emergency Plan also encompasses plans which delineate organizational responsibilities of State personnel during the period immediately follcwing a radiological accident, plans for interf acing State and facility personnel, and detailed procedures which implement the Three Mile Island Emergency Plan. All radiation emergencies are treated in a consistent manner with the degree of response keyed to the degree of severity. The plans and procedures for radiation emergencies cover all emergencies up to and including the consecuences of a Design 3 asis Accident.  ! Il } [ l6)

-1_ OW [J,3~

The responsibility for control of personnel and activities onsite during any radiation emergency rests with the Metropolitan Edison Company. The responsibility for such offsite involvement as may be required lies principally with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Inter-facing responsibilities between these two entities are spelled out in a document incorporated into the overall TMI Emergency Plan entitled, " State / Met-Ed Radiation Emergency Interface Plan". It is the intent of this plan to coordinate activities of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Resources, Bureau of Radiological Health, with the Metropolitan Edison Company Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station. This plan also outlines the role of other organizations such as the State Police, Civil Defense, U.S. Coast Guard and local fire companies. This documen reflects the desire of all parties involved to provide in-depth safety measures for the public and prevent damage to property should a radiological incident occur.

The TMI Emergency Plan describes action levels and specific duties required of station personnel during any incident involving abnormal radiation levels. A complete set of radiation emergency procedures and emergency operating procedures further describes measures to be taken during a radiation emergency. Preparation of these procedures is ccmplete and capies have been reviewed by the Atcmic Energy Commission, Directorate of Regulatory Operations.

.d., 3,3

! i/ :6c

The TMI Emergency Plan is in large part concerned with local and site emergencies, the consequences of which would not extend beyond the site boundaries. The detailed procedures specify appropriate warning systems, conditions requiring site evacuation, the site evacuation routes, radiation monitoring checkpoints and procedural steps for site evacuation by visitors, vendors, construction workers and plant staff personnel who are not essential to actual plant operation or to carrying out the emergency plan.

Although events requiring evacuation for persons living within a two-mile radius of the plant site are highly improbable and .would have to be catastrophic in nature, detailed general emergency procedures covering this eventu-ality have also been prepared. These detailed general ,

amergency procedures address the criteria for evacuation of various sectors of the low population zone (LPZ), the interaction and communications between the TMI plant site and the AEC, Pennsylvania State Department of Environmental Resources Division of Radiological Health, State Police, the Civil Defense and the Coast Guard. A general emergency will be declared by TMI when one or more of the following has occurred:

. 4) The reactor building high range gamma monitor indicates S rem /hr.

(b) The radiation level at the site boundary is 125 mrem /hr.

1417 163 (c) The liquid effluent radiation monitor (RML-7) indicates greater than 6.8 x 10-3 pc/cc.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has adopted its cwn emergency plan entitled the " Pennsylvania Plan for the Implementation of Protection Action Guides" applicable to all stationary nuclear power plants within the State. This Plan details, among other things, the prime State agencies responsible for its use, classifies accidents as to their severity, and specifies protective actions to be taken in the event of radiation emergencies. Under the State plan, evacuation of affected areas cf the icw population zone may be ordered by the State Bureau of Radiological Health whenever exposures to offsite persons as a result of cecidental .aleases of airborne radioactive materials are calculated to exceed 5 rems whole body dose or 30 rems thyroid dose. In the event of a catastrophic accident presenting immediate severe danger to the local population, if contact cannot be promptly established between the TMI staff and the Bureau of Radiological Health, TMI may initiate evacuation through the State Police.

If the decision is made to evacuate a section of the LPZ, the State Police will notify each resident of the affected area and instruct them to report to Civil Defense shelters as directed by the Civil Defence Officer. Those individuals needing transportation will indicate the same to the State Police who will in turn notify Met Id. Met Ed will arrange transportation by its own vehicles chtained from l'1i7 164

other Met Ed offices or-by Civil Defense vehicles. Specific evacuation routes for offsite persons have not been established in the Radiation Emergency Plan. Met Ed does not consider it either necessary or feasible to prescribe specific routes in advance. However, the State / Met Ed Interf ace Plan does provide that in the event of a general acergency the State Police will establish road blocks at designated points en the periphery of the low population zone, thus preventing vehicles from entering the LPZ and thereby f acilitating evacuation from the LPZ.

Specially equipped and trained offsite radiation monitor:.ag teams will be dispatched from the site to measure the radioactive concentrations and radiation 'evels offsite.

Arrangements have been made with the Hershey Medical Center for the handling and treatmenc of contaminated and injured site personnel. The Medical Center has developed detailed procedures for the handling and care of contaminated and injured personnel.

To insure that plant staf f members and outside agencies cre maintained at a high degree of emergency readiness, annual drills and periodic training sessions will be conducted. The Training Coordinator, in conjunction with senior plant management, will annually review with Met Ed employees their responsibilities regarding emergency conditions. Each year they will select specific accident conditions to thoroughly analyze the required responses by

_ ,. _ 1.<!i7 i65

each individual involved in the Laplementation of the Radiation Emergency Plan. Prior to the conduct of the drill, thorough analysis and review, or walk-through exercise, may be utilized to better familiarize each person with his responsibilities in the inter-relationships of the various tasks performed during an emergency situation. These training exercises may involve the cooperation of various offsite agencies. The time allotted for the exercise will be one day, although training for the exercise may involve several days.

In addition to scheduled training and exercise sessions, periodic unrehearsed training exercises may be enacted to evaluate the plant's readiness in real emergency situations. Appropriate members of the plant staff will receive training sessions in areas such as use of diffusion overlays and topographical maps, use of meteorological data, and use of portable survey instruments.

The development of this emergency plan required the direct gross expenditure of an estimated $40,000 for labor and materials. Indirect costs, more difficult to quantify and more remote, are the labor and materials expended by other agencies in developing previous plans and guides which served as a starting point in the development of the Three Mile Island Emergency Plan. The cost of implementation of the emergency plan is not susceptible of quantification because 14:7 166 s_
