CASE'S ANSWERS TO APPLICANTS' SEVENTH SET OF INTERROGATORIES TO CASE AND REQUESTS TO PRODUCE Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.740b and 2.741(d) as modified by the Board's 8/6/82 Scheduling Order, CASE (Citizens Association for Sound Energy), Intervenor herein, hereby files this, its Answers to Applicants' Seventh Set of Interroga-j 5

tories to CASE and Requests to Produce, Filed August 4,1982.

p Contention 22.

EMERGENCY PLT.:eNING Applicants have failed to comply wi th 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, regard-1I ing emergency planning, for the following reasons:

C The FSAR does not identify state or regional. authorities responsible a.

for emergency planning or who have special qualifications for dealing i

with emergencies.

1-7.

Yes.

i 1

2-7.

(a) CASE is concerned n.ow, as we have always been, with the use of " paper people" -- people who may exist only on paper and have no real, live bodie.s to go with them.

Further, it is not sufficient to identify people without indicating that they have been properly trained and are capable of carrying out their functions; there is nothing to assure i3 that the people indicated are going to be properly trained.

There is also no documentation that the number of people available will be sufficient'to take care of radiological emergencies.

)

(b) Public Health Regions functional statement is "to be developed."

It is indicated that all Bumau of Radiation Cpntrol personnel will receive training.

It is indicated that individuals will receive initial and annual

~

retraining applicable to their duties.

It is indicated that planners will or have attended FEMA' planning BNB U456 820823 PDR ADOCK 05000445 G

d 2-7 (b) continued:

It is indicated that plans will be distributed.

-- FEMA review of Texas REP Plans (c) Fire Protection should be covered by the State, Texas Engineering Extension Service and Forest Service. Only a few capabilities in local pl an.

Reference is made to backup capability from University of Texas and Texas A&M, but does not give capabilities.

The only discussion of verification by the DPS will be in accordance with SOPS. SOPS not available for review.

Plans for training include State Personnel only.

-- Dept. of Health and Human Services Public Health Service Food and Drug Administration Review of Hood & Somervell Counties Plans (d) Annex C, Texas Department of Agriculture, not received.

Texas State Emergency Management Plan has written agreements between support organizations but does not include the use of USDA resources.

Maps for recording survey and monitoring data, key land use data l

(e.g., farming), food processing plants, and dairies, should start at the facility and cinlude all of the 50. mile ingestion pathway EPZ.

Up-to-date lists of the name and location of all facilities which regu-t l

larly process large amounts of food or agricultural products (originat-ing in the ingestion pathway EPZ, but located elsewhere) should also be maintained.

-- USDA, Food Safety and Inspection Service Review of State and County plans (e) Provisions for early distribution of personal dosimetry devices from local sources need to be developed so that local workers are covered during the estimated 4-hour deploynent time at the beginning of an

[

emergency.

Procedures should be developed for emergency workers to report dosimeter readings frequently.

Additional procedures requiring notification when a worker's dose has reached a specified level shculd be in place.

A special set of instructions should be available for a member of the public who must go into an exclusion area. The exposure infonnation should be available before the individual is contaminated.

It is stated that the Texas Engineering Extension Service is responsible for training of fire fighting personnel, but not for training of police and security personnel.

The cross reference for training of medical support personnel appears not to be responsive.

Annex R is referenced in the cross reference for training of personnel responsbile for transmission of emergency information; Annex R is not available as part of the plan.

]y.

The cross reference refers to documents that a're not available as part

?l of the basic radiological emergency response plan and is not responsive to the criteria.

No listing by title of detailed procedures for step-by-step implementa-I.ed tion of the plan is included.

The sections of the plan to be implemented' M

by each procedure are not identified.

Page 22, Sec. VIII and page 43, Sec. III.A and B. are referenced;

'I*

however, none of those sections identify Federal and private sector

of the response support group and no mention is made of available resources.

.f f g

. my

' Annex F,Section V.M states that the Radiological Defense Officer will 16%

l provide assistance as requested to the Texas Department of Health if

'y resources are available. This does not address the requirements of W

NUREG 0654-H.7 that each organization, where appropriate, shall. provide qj for offsite radiological monitoring equipment in the vicinity of the H

nuclear facility. Same comments for H.10, H.11, and H.12.

il j'

Section VII, Part B of the state plan describes the assignment of I

accident assessment responsibilities. The county should state what tj:

4 equipment, if any, is available to' measure whole body ganma exposures and airborne radiciodine concentrations.

A plan for transmitting these data, if any, to the E0F should be included.

Hood County Annex F,Section V.M. does not address I.7 which required

,~,

that "Each organization shall describe the capability and resources i

for field monitoring wit.hin the plume exposure EPZ which are intrinsic

~

parts of the concept of operations for the facility."

If the county 1

is not depended upon to supply radiological data to the state and to the utility for use in assessing the magnitude of the emergency, the plan should so state.

Same applies for I.8.

'l 2-7 (e) continued:

E L

J.2 is not addressed. The utility is primarily responsible for this but cooperative arrangements for sheltering, decontamination, medical attention, etc. are needed.

a Attachment K to the Hood County plan for Emergency Husbandry Procedures addresses the problem of contamination of human and animal foods in j

an adequate manner.

Gamma ray and raiciodine exposures directly from the airborne plume are not adequately addressed.

The response indicated in the pmcedures for the Executive Group is one of ordering evacuation

[

or sheltering when recommended by the state or by the utility.

If this is the case, the cross-reference for J.9 should include a refemnce to Section I - The Executive Group Procedures.

L Hood County Annex F,Section V M states that exposure control is the function of the Texas Department of Health but that the county RD0 will assist as requested if resources are available. Attachment G -

l Evacuation - Tab. 3 lists the contents of the list for roadblock per-i sonnel. Only a TLD is to be furnished.

NUREG 0654-K3 requires both self reading (e.g., pocket ion dosimeter) and pennanent record dosimeters (e.g.,TLD).

In addition, the self reading devices must have appropriate.

sensitivities to pennit meeting NUREG-0654, K4.

Each emergency worker should be provided a sensitive direct reading dosimeter (e.g., 0-200 i

m Rem) plus a higher range direct reading dosimeter (e.g., 0-20 Rem) plus a permanent record device (e.g., TLD or film badge).

Improvements are needed in the plan to insure the availability and proper distri-butions of appropriate dosimeters. Section VII-B-7 of Appendix 7 to Annex L of the state plan (contamination control) implies that all 3

workers entering a contaminated area will have dosimeters but the number available, the source of supply, etc., is not detailed.

Dose record forms need to be included in the plan and need to be e

distributed to emergency workers.

In addition, requirements need to be developed for frequent reading and timely reporting of doses to'the j

E0Cs by the emergency workers.

i The procedure for authorization of emergency workers to incur exposures in excess of PAGs needs to be clearly stated in the county plan. This should clearly name the official who is able to authorize this action.

The procedure should also clearly require that the decision take into account the exposure data from the preceding three paragraphs.

L Attachment H - Shelter; Monitoring and Precontamination Procedures of the Hood County plan does not specify action levels for decon-i tami nation.

The Tab 1, Chapter 1, Procedure 5, Part VI does specify i

action levels for initiating decontamination.

g Sections VIII.B.8 of Appendix 7 to Annex L of the state plan states that the Bureau of Radiation Protection will advise the local officials d

in decontamination actions, that are to be conducted in accordance with "NCRP Report No. 65."

No procedures for the disposal of wastes was found. No procedures were found in the Hood County plan for waste disposal., NCRP Report No. 65 should be made a part of the plan if it is the appropriate proceudre to be followed.

I s

-S-2-7 (e) continued:

Section III.R, Manual of Emergency Procedures, Annex 7 states that

" details and criteria for recovery and reentry "will be provided by the Texas Department of Health." However, there is no evidence in the plan that general plans and procedures have been developed.

The cross reference is marked N/A. The state plan, Sections XI.B and XI.D Annex 7 addresses only state plans and changes.

Provisions should be made for fonvarding local plans and changes to all responsi-ble emergency response personnel.

Supporting plans and their sources are not listed for the local plans.

The listing of supporting plans found in Tab.1, Introduction Sections III and IV, Annex 7, state plan pertains only to supporting plans for the state.

The cross reference indicates that provisions for updating telephone e

numbers are in the utility emergency response plan. They should also be included in the local plans.

3 NOTE:

Paragraphs 6 on page 3 through the preceding paragraph above apply in similar fashion to both Hood County and Somervell County (the referenced sections in the two county plans may vary somewhat, but the basic infonnation is the same).

-- Argonne National Laboratory Evaluations of the Radiological Emergency Response Plans of the State of Texas and Hood and Somervell Counties (f) Annex C - Shelter Plan (not included).

Annex D - Radiological defense plan (not included).

Annex E - Crisis Relocation Plan (not included).

Cross Reference for C.l.a. indicates N/A. Base plan VI, A.l.d.

and VIII, indicates County Judges or Mayors may request State, Federal or military assistance through State Disaster Districts.

Can local government request Federal or military assistance directly? If so, it should be indicated and the proper procedures for doing so.

Cross reference for C.2.a. indicates this element N/A.

Plan should designate local official to serve as representative of local government at the E0F (may be there if he/she so chooses).

Local government relies heavily upon State assistance for technical capabili ties.

Local resources other than schools and local government not addressed.

Letters of agreement with school districts may be appropriate unless school resources have been comitted previously through legal instruments, in which case such instruments should be included.

Unable to find maps of evacuation areas as such.

There is a general lack of precise evacuation procedures in the plans. Will instructions and procedures including areas to be evacuated be included in the public information packages? Unable to find maps of shelter or re-location areas.

Shelter facilities should be outside th*e 10 mile EPZ (Glen Rose Senior High is listed as shelter facility).

Where does the temporary clothing come from if individual's clothing is contaminated?

Local plans should indicate they will participate in appropriate training.

If mutual aid pacts or reciprocal agreements exist between governnent entities, like training will be made available to them.

Those organizations listed should indicate their intent to partici-pate in the necessary training to qualify them for response to an accident /

incident at CPSES.

Plan doesn't say that Emergency Management Director / Coordinator will be trained.

Plan will be reviewed each six months and revisad or updated annually.

While not mentioned specifically, mentions it is assumed this review and update process would consider any comments made as a result of exercise. Should make this specific and indicate who specifically will do such reviewing and updating based on comments received.

-- Evaluation of Hood /Somervell Co. REP Plans Organization - assume by John Benton (name written in in upper right-hand corner)

With regard to all the items listed in the preceding, there will people needed to do all the things which have not been done or which are not yet addressed.

The people (specifically) who will be doing those things should be included, along with an assessment of how many will be available, when they will be available, etc. Where applicable, letters of agreement should also be included with those people.
