MHEREltS, has prepared an omorgency plan _which federal regulations, lacking coordination with local or state governments,
LILCO, will attempt to implement; and the Nuc3 car Regulatory Conreission's Snorcham licensing WHEREAS, board is now conducting hearings to review the adequacy of the LILCO cmergency plan; and the LILCO emergcncy plan includes protective actions to be WHERSAS, taken by schools; and this board has identified the following weaknesses in the WHEREA3, LILCC cmcrgency plan:

1.

Earlv Dismisnal which LILCO's Our inacrgency Early dismissel procedure, plan incorporates, wouldn't bring school children to an uncontaminated arca quickly enough to protect their health and safety.

Transoortation 2.

Ehe requ.fsite number of buses and drivers required for successful carly dismissal are not available to the schools.

This will prolong childrens' stay at schools in contaminated areas.

3.

Feeds of Cchool Personnel _ teaching and non-teaching He cannot guarantee that personnel will stay in schools to supervise carly These teachers and staff may need to attend dicmissal.

therefore, may to the safety of their own families and, not be available t'o, perform emergency-related tasks.

Lack of Parental ~ Supervision 4.

Tiic success of an eiEly dismissal plan depends not only on prompt dismissal from schools, but on prompt evacua-tion of children from their homes. ' In those casos in which parents will not be at home during the day, children will be sont to 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 children to arrivo.

Many parents may attempt e

Relocation 6.

If a shoreham emergency. develops quickly and requires an evacuation of children from schools directly to relocation this district does not have sufficient buses or

centers, drivers to transport all children to relocation centers in a timely, effective manner.

Supervision at Relocation Centers 7.

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 L1LCO plan suggests that sheltering (remaining indoors) may be the preferred protective action in specific Shoreham none of this district's schools emergencids.

However, have basements or other structures necessary to provide adequate protection.
