20b55 Dear Mr. Congol In llovember 1990, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board isuuod a decision which hold, in part, that the graded oxercine at the Soabrook sito in 1988 was not aufficiently broad in scopo to test the provisions of tho now Hampshiro Radiological Emergency Responso Plan (NilRERP) as it port ained to notification of schools and day caro centors of the existenco of an emergoney and recor-mended protectivo actions.
Ru bilR Je ry_ino_h.J Llitw_ll M@ F hi r.Q (Scabrook Station, Units 1 and 2), AI.A D-9 41, November 21, 1990.
The Board also ruled that the " failure to olicit sufficient school participation in the June 1988 exorciso should be corrected in a subsequent exorcise."
Isl., slip opinion, at 26.
This issue was addressed during the graded oxerciso of the offsito omorgency preparodness at the Seabrook sito hold on December 13, 1990.
In this exerciso, a portion of Lao overall demonstration in the Now Hampshire portion of the Emergency Planning Zono (EPZ) involved Standard objectivo 19 (approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Cummission (HRC) and the Fodoral Emergency Management Agency
( F r.MA) ) which deals with protectivo actions for school children.
FEMA considers " school childron" to includo both public and privato school students and children in day caro centors.
The pro-exerciso agroomonts betwoon FEMA and the exerciso participants aro listed in sections 2.3 and 3.3 of the exerciso scenario document.
In summary, these agreomonts stato that all 5 School Administrativo Units (SAUs) in t;.o New Hampshiro EPZ were to participato fully and -
that the SAUs would make contact with the individual public and privato schools in their jurisdictions.
The exorciso limitation was that those contacts would be stopped at the end of the normal work day.
The pro-oxerciso agreomonts also provided that all publie ed pr3vhu uchuoln in the Now Hampshire EpZ voro to be called by the SAve and local tmorgency Operaticos Centers (MCs) and provide information on transportation nooda 4a appropriato.
The day care conters in t'io New Harpshire EPZ Vore to be contacted in accordanco with the plan by both the Stato EOC Day Caro Contor Notification 9104150094 910409 i

Team and by tho local Eoca, or the local EOC 'iaisons in the Incident Fiold Offico (IFO) for componcatory communitics.
In e
j accordanco with the pro-exerciso agreements, the Stato EOC contact was limited to a single "information only" initial notification.
In addition to the notifications discussed abovo, all 5 GAUs and 10 of the day caro contors were to bo visited by a FEMA ovaluator.
i On December 14,
- 1990, the day after the exerciso, tolophono contacts woro made with the schools and day caro contors to verify the contacts which woro mado during the oxorciso.
In accordance with tho extent of play agreements, contacts woro not made with the GAUs and day caro contors which woro visited by FEMA ovaluators during the exerciso.
The results of FEMA'a post-exorciso contacts with the schools and day caro contors in the 110w llampshiro portion of the Scabrook EPZ are nomuarized below 1.
Sch00138 Dased on lists provided by flow llampshiro Yankoo, thoro woro 40 schools to be contacted.
(Throo privato schools woro inadvortantly not included on the lists provided).
In accordanco with pro-exorciso agroomonts, sovocal attempts voro made to contact schools, llowever, if at least 50% of the total calls attempted mado contact, additional attempts to maku contact with a particular number woro stopped.
Duo to multiplo busy signals or no answorn, 3 of the schools woro not contacted during the calling porlod and additional contacts wore not attemptod.
All of the 37 schools contacted confirmed that they roccived at least 1
call from exerciso participants.
2.
day lorpl entors8 liow Hampshiro Yankoo provided lists of d&y care contors tabulated by town or city.
Based on the logs prov ided by the exerci.so participants, day care conters which word not contacted duritm ' no t
oxorciso (no answor, phono disconnected, or n9vorn. busy algnals) woro el.iminated -- f rom the lietings e.nd nu attempt was unde to contact thoso contors.
Thorn were 77 day caro contors shown on the listongs.
Two of the day caro contors woro inadvertently omittod from tho li(stings.)
Fiftcon were oliminated on the basis either that they had air eady been visited during the exorciso (and no further verification was-noccusary) oc that no contact at all was mado during the exerciso (and there was nothing to verify).
Attempts woro mado to contact the romaining 62 contors.
i Daring the calling period, 8 contors'woro not contacted due to multipin busy signals or no answors.
Of the romaining 54 day caro contors c,ntacted, 48 indicated that they woro contacted at least 2

onco by exerciso participants.
Throo of the contors stated that they woro not contacted, one stated that there was no one at homo during tho exerciso, one stated that the person in chargo was not available, and one stated that they woro not participating at this timo.
3.
Congh1gina Tho verification which FE!4A conducted af ter the oxorciso estab-lished that at least 37 schools out of 40 and at least 48 day caro contors out of 70 woro contacted by participants during the exer-ciso.
This serves to confirm FEMA's judgment that the samplo used in the 1990 Seabrook exorcice was adequate to provido a rollable toat of the provisions of the tillRERP relating to notification of pubile and privato schools and day care contors.
FEMA's conclusions about the adequacy of the performance of the exerciso participants will be forwarded at a lator timo, in our exerciso ovaluataon report.
