SCHOOL BOARD RESOLUTION WHEREAS, federal regulations for full power operation of the Shore-ham Nuclear Plant require an emergency plan for communities surrounding.the plant which will assure those communities adequate protection in event of a nuclear emergency; and WHEREAS, the Long Island Lighting Company, in an effort to meet federal regulations, has prepared an emergency plan which LILCO, lacking coordination with local or state governments, will attempt to implement; and WHEREAS, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Shoreham licensing board is now conducting hearings to review the, adequacy of the LILCO emergency plan; and WHENEAS,. the LILCO emergency plan includes protective actions to be taken by schools;. and
/
WHEREAS,,this board has identified the following weaknesses in the
'LILCO emergency plan:
1.
Early Dismissal Our emergency early dismissal procedure, which LILCO's plan incorporates, wouldn't bring' school children to an uncontaminated area quickly enough to protect their health and safety.
2.
Transportation The requisite number of bu.ses and drivers required for successful early dismissal'are not available-to the schools.
This will prolong childrens' stay at schools in contaminated areas.
3.
Needs of School Personnel We cannot guarantee that teaching and non-teaching personnel will stay in schools to supervise early dismissal.
These teachers and staff may need to attend to the safety of their own families and, therefore, may not be available to perform emergency-related tasks.
4.
Lack of Parental Supervision The success of an early dismissal plan depends not only on prgapt dismissal from schools, but on prompt evacua-tion of children from their homes.
In those cases in which parents will not be at home during the day, children will be sent.tc unsupervised homes from which they will not be able,to; evacuate promptly.
5.
Parental Intercession We cannot be confident-that parents will wait at home for their childrerf to' arrive.
Many parents may attempt
f Miller Playa UFSD Board Rasolution i
to retrieve their children at schools, perhaps causing increased confusion and chaos.
6.
Relocation If a Shoreham emergency develops quickly and requires an evacuation of children from schools directly to relocation centers, this district does not have sufficient buscs or drivers to transport all children to relocation centers in a timely, effective manner.
7.
Supervision at Relocation Centers We cannot guarantee that teaching and/or non-teaching school personnel will travel to and remain at relocation centers to supervise school children until parents arrive to retrieve them.
8.
Sheltering The LILCO plan suggests that sheltering (remaining indoors) may be the preferred protective action in specific shoreham emergencies.
However, none of this district's schools have basements or other structures necessary to provide adgquate protection.
9.
Trust in Public Information In the LILCO plan, the only public information upon which to base. decisions for protective actions will come from the utility.
LILCO, through its Public Schools Coordina-tor and WALK-AM Radio, will both describe the extent of the emergency and recommend actions.
Because LILCO would be both operator of the plant and initiator of emergency actions, potential for conflict of interest exists.
School administrators, receiving information only from LILCO and not from any governmental agency, will be forced to decide upon actions with potentially serious consequences without the benefit of a directive from a responsible governmental source.
10.
Indemnification LILCO does not provide indemnification for school districts should damages, injuries, or deaths result from school administrators' decisions during an emergency, decisions which can be made based only upon information and recom-mendations offered by LILCO.
Now, be it therefore
/
RESOLVED, that the Miller Place Union Free School District finds that LILCO's emergency plans for schools do not offer children or school personnel of this district adequate protection in event of an accident at the Shoreham Nuclear Plant; and, be it further
Millor Pluca UFSD Board Rasolution RESOLVED, that this school board believes that licensing of the Shoreham Nuclear Plant should not be permitted unless or until complete and reasonable resolution of these outstanding, critical emergency planning problems can be achieved.
The above Resolution was passed by the Miller Place Union Free School District Board of Education at the Board Meeting on September 1, 1983.
