REFERENCE:
(1) NRC Letter, Hind to Linder, dated January 20, 1982 Gentlemen:
In response to your request for information regarding the prompt public notification system for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (Reference 1) we provide the following information as requested.
NRC QUE'STION (1) What percent of the total 5 mile EPZ population vitt receive the initial alerting signal?
DPC RESPONSE (1) Our most recent survey, completed during the week ending January 22, 1982, disclosed that 1160 people reside within the 5 mile EPZ. Of these, 637 (55%) reside within 3 miles of the facility.
The initial alerting signal is to be provided by an outdoor siren. Based on performance specifications for the siren selected, the audible range is expected to be at least 2 miles. Although field data obtained at another similar power plant site in the Dairyland system indicates that an audible siren range greater than 2 miles can be obtained, the use of AM alert radios will be planned as needed to supplement the siren to insure that 100% of the population within 3 miles will receive the initial alerting signal within 15 minutes.
