ROBERT G. WRIGHT, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1. I am Associate Judge of_the Administrative Court serving the Eastern' District of Callaway County in the State of Missouri.

My business address is the Callaway County ~ Courthouse, Fulton,

. Missouri 65251.- My District encompasses-virtually all of-the Callaway Plant emergency planning zone ("EPZ") within Callaway County. As--a member of the Callaway' County Court,'I am responsible for: county roadLand: bridge maintenance throughout the County,;along with my' colleagues'on-the' Court. -The County road-supervisor reports directly to the Court.--I am a_ life-long' resident of Callaway County, other than my 4 years of duty. -in the : United States Navy. - I'have

'PDR u

of my knowledge believe them to be true and correct. I make -

this' affidavit in response to Reed Contention 19 (Impediments to'the Use of Evacuat' ion Routes).

2. Reed Contention 19 asserts that the four county radiolo-gical emergency response plan and procedures fail to provide methods of identification of means of dealing with potential impediments to use of evacuation routes, and contingency measures -

for resolving such problems. The four county plan has been revised. Separate plans now exist for each of the four counties in the EPZ. In my view, the revised Callaway County /Fulton

. Emergency Response Plan adequately addresses these issues, given the potential for evacuation impediments in the County.

3. Within the Callaway portion of the EPZ are roads which are the. responsibility of the State of Missouri, Callaway County, the City of Fulton or.the Fulton Special Road District. (The Fulton Special Road-District is a small area covering about nine sections of tae northwest quadrant of the EPZ, approximately eight miles from the Callaway Plant.) All of these roads have been taken into consideration in the following assessment of evacuation impedi-ments..
4. Based on a review of the roads in the County Road District, at this time, to my knowledge there are eleven residences located within the-EPZ which could potentially be isolatcd, preventing normal evacuation during the course of extensive rainfall, with subsequent localized flooding. This takes into account areas of the County where the County roads could potentially be blocked-in

. excess of four hours. The following table identifies.these homes-by section number and radial' distance from the Callaway Plant' site, consistent with the U.S. Geographic Survey Map.

-5. In the event of excessive rainfall coincidental with an.

accident at-the nuclear plant which would' require evacuation, the Missouri State National Guard, which has helicopters available for its'use, would be called'upon and has agreed to evacuate these iso-lated residents. See attached Exhibit "A" (National Guard letter).

None of the residences are located'within two miles of the Callaway Plant. There are six residences located in the radius of two to

'five miles, and five residences located in excess of eight but less than eleven miles from the: plant.

1

6. .. A second natural impediment which has been considered is-

'thatiof an unusually heavy; snowfall occurring coincidental with an emergency.at(the nuclear plant. requiring evacuation. Experience has shown that in the event of.a heavy" snowfall, the County resources,

.which' consist of eight. graders and'five trucks, can adequately clear-the-_Countyfroads'in approximately 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Evacuation can.begin as

soon as major roads are cleared, which takes about 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, with the final road being cleared in 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. If our effort is con-

.centrated to the areas identified for evacuation, such as the two

.. l mile radius in all directions from the plant as well as a ninety j degree sector for ,two to five miles from the plant, it is reasonable to conclude that adequate clearance for evacuation can be provided j within two to four hours.

7. Under the conditions of a plant emergency, the full resources of the State Highway and Transportation Department become available and it is my conservative opinion that the entire County and State road system within-the EPZ, including the Fulton Special Road. District, can be completely cleared within eight hours, in the event of an unusually heavy snowfall. The State equipment which would become available for such emergency would be an additional 24 units of snow removal equipment. Again, if our effort is con-centrated to the areas identified for evacuation, i.e., the two mile radius in all directions from the plant as well as a ninety degree sector for two to five miles from the Plant, adequate clearance can be provided within two hours.
8. Finally, man-made impediments to traffic flow will be noted by, or reported to, traffic control personnel who in turn will report such. conditions to the Callaway County /Fulton EOC.

Additional monitoring for impediments will be provided by State Civil Air Patrol. Removal of such impediments will be accomplished by State or County Highway personnel or through normal equipment resources available to the Sheriff / Chief of Police. ._-

9. In conclusion, it is my view that the significant evacuation impediments have been identified, and the rescurces and planning effort necessary to overcome such impediments are available.

Union Electric Company Attention: Mr. M. A. Stiller Post Office Box 620 Fulton, Missouri 65251

Dear Sir:

This correspondence is in regard to your letter, dated November 10, 1982, and in accordance with the Missouri Nuclear Accident Plan, dated June 1982.

Assumptions in the use of the Missouri National Guard are:

a. Missouri Nacional Guard personnel will not be assigned missions in areas where the possibility of dangerous levels of radiation exists.

S. The Missouri National Guard will respond to a nuclear power plant emergency as declared by the Governor with available personnel and resources.

c. That a civilian authority is designated as a point of contact prior to the National Guard being assigned a mission.
d. That missions be assigned by civil authorities, but the execution to include the number of personnel and equipment to be used, will be determined by the Missouri N'ational Gaard.

The Missouri National Guard will provide support as follows:

a. One hundred twenty Guardpersons will be a,vailable for traffic .

control and assist in local radiation survey. Personnel will be furnished from the following units:

Headquarters, Missouri Army National Guard (Jefferson City) ll75th Military Police Company (Boonville and Moberly)

Headquarters and Headquarteu 3.L L u y , leu 3.ut.11cu, 128th -

Field Artillery (Columbia) l 1035th Maintenance Company (Jef ferson City)

  • M' A% egg - a

.o. . .

Service Battery, 1st Battalion, 128th Field Artillery (Mexico)

Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 735th Maintenance Battalion (Jefferson City)

b. The expected response time for the designated units is six j hours after the initial notification.
c. Guardpersons that would be used for surveying personnel and equipment for radioactive contamination to include themselves will receive '

initial training and annual refresher training.

i

d. Air Evacuation would be performed by helicopters from Jefferson l City. Normally, during working hours reaction time to Readsville and Mineola j would be two hours. During non-duty hours, response could be up to four hours. l l

The Missouri National Guard has been called to State Emergency Duty 22 times in the past five years. The response time was between four and six hours, primarily dependent on unit members traveling to Armories and preparing vehicles for Operations under adverse weather conditions.

Sincerely, e

CHARLES M. KIEFNER Major General, MOARNG The Adjutant General O
