Dear Governor Gallen:
The Tederal Emergency Management Agency (FEliA) is asking for the cooperation of New Hampshire State and local officials in an independent assessment of evacuation time around the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station.
This request follows from President rarter's December 7,1979, directive to FEMA to take the lead in all off-site emergency activities dealing with nuc1 car power stations and for the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) to assist.
At the same time, the President also encouroged State and local officials to work with FEMA to assure the necessary coordination of their rrspective emergency responsibilities.
Under a recer.tly signed agreement, FEMA promised to assess independently the evacuaticn times around twelve reactor sites which have the highest population density withir, the ten-mile emergency planning zone or are nutually agreed upon by FEMA and NRC.
The Seabrook site, located in Rockingham County, is one which FEMA will be studying.
FDM is contracting with experienced and well-known transportation planners and their consultants tc undertake such an messment.
As part of the Statement of Work, we are asking the contractor to make on-site visits and d's:ess the assessment with the principal local officials and the facility operator in order to assess the transportation system and routes, the decocraphy of the area under study, and any other evacuation studies
- completed i
for the area.
We would like to request your cooperation in this assessment and will keep you informed of our progress.
Any questions on this subject should be acd essed to Sheldon A. Schwartz, Project Manager, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Division, Office of Population Preparedness, FEMA.
His phone number is (202) 566-0550.
Sincerely yours, a b Chto hohnw.e:y,or J Director S
