Manue'. consists of changes to emergency plan implementing procedures ER 1.5,
" General Emergency", and ER 5.4, " Protective Action Recommendations".
.l In ER 1.5, under the actions to be completed by the Short Term Emergency Director-(STED, the Shift Superintendent in the normal station L
. organization), a new step has been added to the general emergency action I'

The revised procedure now states that if the New Hampshire (NH) l

conditions, to inform New Hampshire authorities that if it-is not possible to evacuate the New Hampshire beaches due to physical impediments, the NH l
State Representative is to contact the Seabrook Station TSC for' an alternative EBS message. The procedure then states that if the NH State a

-(1) inform the'NH State Representative that NHY will. supply the State with 1

direct the Response Manager in the Emergency. Operations Facility (EOF) to
' inform the NH State Repre::entative through the Corporate Support Manager that if it is not possible to evacuate the New Hampshire beaches, NHY will transmit the shelter EBS message to the NH State Representative. Thus, the L
.Seabrook Station response manual has been revised to direct the senior onsite emergency response manager, depending on whether the authority and responsibility for offsite notification and protective action recommendations

resides in the control room, TSC, or EOF, to offer a beach shelter EBS message to New Hampshire authorities for the situation in which the teaches cannot be evacuated. The shelter EBS nessage is given in Figure 8 of procedure ER 5.4 and is identical to the shelter EBS mersage givei in-
/
procedure ER'1.5.
The shelter EBS message,:for sheltering. towns and beaches under General Emergency conditions, given in Figure 6 of ER 1.5 and Figure 8 of ER b.4, 1s similar in. format to other EBS messages shown in Appendix B of Vo16me 9 of the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan (NHRERP).

The shelter EBS< mess 6ge states that all persons residing in, working in, or

visiting Hampton Beach or Seabrook. Beach are advised to shelter in place immediately.
People are instructed in the message to remain indoors at their current location.
If people are not inside a building, they are instructed
'I
]
to go to:a nearby fully encloseo building and remain inooors until advised.
l by the EBS' station that the instructions have changed. Owners and operators of business establishments and other public access buildings are askea to L
L assist pceple seeking shelter. People in the other affected towns are also:
-advised in the nessage to shelter in place. The licensee has indicated in-discussions with the staff that the shelter EBS message was developed in 1
conjunction with the emergency planning officials of.New Hampshire, and
'the message is designed-to be consistent with the other EBS messages in the NHRERP and the information in the public information brochures.
