% wr10 *1'
Q.1 State you, name and title?
A.
John R. Scars.
I am a Senior Reactor Safety Engineer in the Emergency Preparedness Licensing Branch, Division of Emergency Preparedecss, Office of Inspection and Enforcement, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Q2 Do you have a statement of professional qualifications?
A.
Yes. A copy of my statement of professional qualifications is attached to this testimony.
Q,3 What is the purpose of this testimony?
A.
The purpoe.e of this testimony is to address Contentions 1 and 2.E.
2.I, 2.J, and 2.K raised by Intervenors GUARD in this operating license proceeding each of which is related to the emergency pre-paredness of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 (SONGS 2 and 3). My testimony will examine the state of the Applicants' emergency preparedness as it affects these GUARD's i
Contentions.
Q.4 GUARD Contention 1 states:
Whether the state of emergent / preparedness for SONGS 2 and 3 pro-vides reasonable assurance that the offsite transient and permanent population within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone, 10 C.F.R. 1 50.47(c)(2), for SONGS 2 and 3 can be evacuated or othcr-wise adequately protected in the event of a radiological emergency with offsite consequences occurring at SONGS 2 and 3, as required by 10 C.F.R. 1 50.47(a)(1), 5 50.47(b)(10), and Part 50, Appendix E.IV.
With respect to Contention 1, why are time estimates for evacuation and for taking other protective actions required to be submitted by the Applicants pursuant to Part 50, Appendix E.IV?
A.
Time estimates for evacuation and for taking other protective actions are used by the NRC staff for two principal purposes:
(1) to identify those transportation routes, areas or facilities in the vicinity of a site for which special traffic controls during an emergency or other special plans would be desirable; (2) to provide to decisionmakers during an emergency, knowledge of the length of time required to effect evacuation under various conditions. This knowledge allows an informal choice of protective actions (e.g., between in-place sheltering and evacuation) during any actual accident si' ation.
Q.5 With respect to the time estimates which are required to be submitted by the Applicants pursuant to Part 50, Appendix E.IV, what criteria must those time estimates meet?
i l
l i
i
A-The time estimates for evacuation and for taking other protective actions are considered acceptable if the criteria of NUREG-0654, FEMA REP-i, Kev.1, " Criteria for Preparation and' Evaluation of Radiological
~
Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," specifically II.J and Appendix 4 of NUREG-0654, are met.
Q.6 Have the Applicants in this proceeding submitted time estimates for SONGS 2 and 3 facility?
A, Yes, the Applicants submitted an analysis of time estimates for evacuation of the 10 mile plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone and beyond to include the communities of San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point and Ortega. This analysis is contained in Appendix E to the Applicants' Emergency Plan. The other protective action that may be taken is shelter and the time necessary to take shelter is p.-incipally a function of the time for notification. The Applicants are installing a siren system for early alerting of the public and have ongoing public educational program both of which have been de-i an scribed in my testimony dated August 6, 1981 responding to GUARD Contentions 2.B and 2.C.
Q.7 Hr.e these time estimates been examined for conformance with the criteria you have identified in your response to Question 5 above?
A.
Yes.

Q.8 Who performed that examination and how was it conducted?
A.
The examination was performed by a contractor, the Texas Transpor-tation Institute of the Texas A & M University System. The evaluation technique is described in NUREG/CR-1856, An Analysis of Evacuation Time Estimates Around 52 Nuclear Power Plants and NUREG/CR-1745, Analysis of Techniques for Estimating Evacuation Times for Emergency Planning Zones. The evaluation used a subjective scale requiring professional engineering judgment in determining ratings. The process then indicates areas which the reviewer considers the plan to be strong or weak. The results of the review are then presented in a table (See Table Below).

6-s Q.9 Ocscribe the results of that evaluati0n?
A.
The contractor's evaluation stated that.the Applicants' report (Appendix E to the Applicants' Emergency Plan) is excellent with one exception in that inadequate consideration was given to ad-verse >!eather conditions and its effect on highway capacity. The Applicants' estimates had resulted in very little difference in time between fair weather conditions and adverse weather condi-tions. The NRC contractor's concept of adverse weather envisions a more severe environment than I conclude is necessary to fulfill the criteria of NUREG-0654.
Q.10 In your opinion, do the Applicants' time estimates meet the criteria which you have identified in your response to Question 5 above?
A.
Yes, Appendix 4 of NUREG-0654 includes a complete outline of the material to be covered in the evacuation times assessment study.
The NRC contractor's ev?luation described in answer to question 8 covers all of the elements in Appendix 4.
I have reviewed the Applicants' study and the NRC contractor's evaluation and I have verified that the Applicants' study satisfactorily covers all the elements in Appendix 4.

pathway EPZ?
Yes, I have examined the capability of the Applicants to evaluate A.
the need for and to make recommendations to offsite response agencies with respect to evacuation or other protective measures.
Such capability is required by planning standard 10 C.F.R.
The. criteria of NUREG-0654, specifically II.J.,

provide guidance in this area.
7_
l Q.12 Have the Applicants' emergency plans been examined for conformance with the guidance of NUREG-0654 II.J7 A.
Yes, I have examined the Applicants' emergency plans with respect to this guidance and I will now summarize my findings.
The methodology and techniques for assessment of each of the <nur classes of emergency, Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency are described in Section 6 of the Applicants' Emergency Plan. The Applicants' Emergency Implementing Procedure 1.1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies, snecifies measurable and observable indications in the plant instrumentation readings, which are the initiating condi-tions for declaring a particular emergency. The procedure instructs the Emergency Coordinator, who initially is the plant Watch Engineer, to make notification to offsite authorities in conformance with Emergency Implementation Procedure 1.4, Notification. The Notification procedure states that notification shall be made to all offsite authorities by the on duty shift personnel immediately following the declaration of the emergency. The Notification procedure includes message forms, with the recommended protective action, for each type of emergency. Emergency Implementation Procedure 1.24, Recommendations for Offsite Protective Measures, j
provides specific guidance to the Emergency Coordinator for the recommending of offsite protective actions to local emergency response authorities. This procedure states that the applicant is N
-m-

,,r,,,~y y
,e y_,.-
,-,,,,,,,yy.,e
required to make recommendations for protective actions as part of the initial notification process if the nature and magnitude of the actual or potential radioactivity release warrants pro-tective actions for the general public.
State whether the Applicants' procedures conform to the gu' ance Q.13 contained in NUREG-0654 II.J and provide us with your judgment as to whether or not the Applicants meet planning standard 10 C.F.R.
150.47(b)(10).
A.
The Applicants' Emergency Implementation Procedures demonstrate his capability to evaluate the need for and make recommendations to offsite response agencies with respect to evacuation or other protective measures. The procedures satisfy the criteria of NUREG-0654, II.J which are the implementation criteria for 10 C.F.R. 50.47(b)(10).
Q.14 GUARD Contention 2 states in part:
Whether there is reasonable assurance that the emergency response planning and capability of implementation for SONGS 2 & 3, affecting the offsite transient and permanent 5
population, will comply with 10 C.F.R. Sections 50.47(a)(1) and (b) or (c)(1) as regards:
E.
necessary transportation and communication equipment, and the operation of the emergency operations centers of the principal response organizations, 10 C.F.R. Sections 50.47(b)(8);
n t.1e physical design, communications equipment, and I.
operating procedures for the interim Emergency)Oper-and ations Facility, 10 C.F.R. Sections SU.47(b)(3 (b)(8);
the methods, systems, and equipment for assessing J.
and monitoring actual or potential offsite con-sequences of a radiological emergency condition within the ingestion pathway EPZ for SONGS 2 and 3, 10 C.F.R. Section 50.47(b)(9); and general plans for recovery and reentry, 10 C.F.R.
K.
t 50.47(b)(13).
With respect to Contention 2.E, have you examined the Applicants' Q.14 provisions to provide transportation and communications equipment during an emergency and to establish emergency operations centers?
Yes, the Applicants' procedure 1.26 entitled " Communications" describes A.
the communications systems that are available for emergency use, their location and their functions. Section G of the Applicants' Emergency Plan states that,in the event that normal access to SONGS should he-restricted, emergency personnel and equipment can be transported come to the Station via helicopter. The Applicants maintain a fleet of aircraft which includes five helicoptors, one twin engine, fixed The fleet is wing aircraft capable of carrying six passengers.
based at the Chino Airport. Provisions have been made for the dedicated use of two helicopters for the transport of emergency personnel and equipment to SONGS; however, the Applicants state that all of the aircraft could be dedicated to SONGS if necessary.
In additi'on, the Applicants own and operate an extensive fleet of
ground transportation vehicles consisting of heavy-duty trucks, equipment and four-wheel drive vehicles which would be available to SONGS as needed.
Section 7 of the Applicants' Emergency Plan describes the Applicants' emergency facilities, the Station Control Room, the Technical Support C mter, and the Operations Support Center. Section 7 also describes the interim arrangements for the Emergency Operations Facility, which will include an onsite Emergency Support Center staffed by Corporate Emergency Support personnel, and a Priraary Emergency Operations Center (PE0C). The PE0C is located in the City of San Clemente City Hall and is for the use af Southern California Edison (SCE), Federal, State and
}
local authorities. The Applicants' Emergency Implementation Procedure 1.3 entitled " Activation and Operation of SCE Emergency Centers and Organiza-tions" provides instructions for the activation, operation and organiza-tion of the Operatioas Support Center, Technical Support Center and the Emergency Support Center. The Emergency Operations Centers of local offsite authorities are described in their individual Emergency Response Plans which the Applicants have submitted to the NRC Staff.
Q.15 Do the Applicants' provisions for Emergency Operation Centers and their commitment to transportation and communications equipment described in your response to Question 14 above, meet planning standard 10 C.F.R. ! 50.47(b)(8)?
. Yes, the -Applicants' provisions for emergency operation ccnters A.
and their commitecnt of transportation and communications equip-ment satisfy the criteria of tiUREG-0654, II.F and H which are the implementation criteria for 10 C.F.R. I 50.47(b)(8).
The implementation of the capability for necessary transportation and communications equipment and the operation of the Applicants' emergency operations centers was demonstrated during the full scale exercise involving the Applicants and offsite organizations on to the extent the procedures and systems employed May 13, 1981, during the Unit 1 exercise were similar to those in pisce for These procedures and systems proved to oe workable Units 2 and 3.
and effective.
With respect to Contention 2.I, have you examined the physical design, Q.16 communications equipment and operating procedures for the interim Emergency Operations Facility (E0F)?
