.I', Roger Beiting, have been a lifetimo resident of Campbell County, Kentucky.

I have read the I presently reside on Nelson Road' near Melbourne, Kentucky. ,

Campbell County Radiological Emergency Plans in part,. including the report by Stone and 'Jebster.

I am familiar with the, roads in Campbell County. Campbell County evacuation Routes 1121, Californin Cross Road and Persimmon Grove Pike are narrow, winding and hilly with steep inclines. Lickert Toad has four 90 degree turns 'and a narrow '

' where it-intersects U.S. 27 there is no access point bridge impeding evacuat. ion; A designated major evacuation route, Kentucky

'of centrol,to direct traffic flow.

Route 8, is dangerous in places for ordinary use and obviously unfit-for emergency

- evacuation purposes. In particular, south of Twelve File Creek the' road is built into the side of a steep hill and is frequently subject to slippages, some of them .

lly unusable for weeks at a

. so sovere that'the north bound lane has been practica td *ce .

P b.es have been driven recently in an effort to support the roadway, but the road surface is dangerously irregular and convoluted and would be particularly Wesley Chapel. Road and 1121 are hazardous.durins emergency evacuation conditions.

a I stick to the ridges. The evacuation of the Campban Ccunty population directed in a generany north direction of Persimmon Croce Road to proceed in a genemny northwesterly direction on evacuation routes Ky 10 and Ky 8 are inadequate where the plume pathway of radiation release from the Zimmer Station is generally northwestly proceeding in the same path as the evacuation routing, and is inadequate er in the failure to evacuate that portion of the population away from the plume ,

pathways and the evacuation of the Campbell County population directed in a gen-ars.lly south direction of Persimmon Grove Road to proceed in a generally . westerly direction on evacuation routes 1121,1280 and'U.S. 27 are inadequate where the plume pathway of radiation release from the Zimmer Station is generally west'erly proceeding in the same path as the evacuation routing,-and is inadequate in the failure to evacuate that portion of the population away -from the plume pathway. Implementation 4 of the evacuation under the stated circumstances provides no reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the affected population is protected.

The use of school buses as vehicles for evacuation of the general public with-out transportation is incapable of affording 4,imely and prompt evacuation of that seg- .

-ment of the population. There are no posted school bus stops or routes'and there ,

i

% no plan provision to educate the public where they are to acsemble for school bus transportation to afford timely and prompt evacuation of that segment of the l

i . population. The roadways within approximately eight miles of the Zimmer Station are inadequate for TANK bus travel and maneuverability, particularily Route 8.  !

. There are few places to turn around and under snow and ice conditions use of buses would be extremely hazardous. ,

In addition, the Stone and Webster evacuation time study does not indicate 2 the critical assumptions which underlie the time estirates. For exanple, no r l

different time estimates exist for the following conditions: day versus night, i workday 'versus weekend, peak transient versus off-peak transient, and evacuation on adjacent sectors versus nonsvacuation. Nor does the plan take into consideration that people from outside the 10 mile EPZ, as well as those inside, would probably ,

[* rbhh':motocvacuatath;irfamilica. Rrgartilc23 cf what tha plan calls fcr, I believe that most people would take the fastest way out of the area and go to the nearest relative's house outside the 10 mile zone. For the above stated reasons I do not believe that the Campbell County Evacuation Plan coald be carried out in a safe and timely manner.
