N' IM RESOLUTION

WEREAS, federal regulations for full power operation of the Shoreham 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 WEREAS,

the Long Island Lighting Company, in an effort to meet federal regulations, has prepared an emergency plan wnich LILCO, lacking coordination with local or state governments, will attempt to implement; and l

WNEAS, the LILCO emergency plan includes protective actions to be taken by schoolag and l

WEREAS, this association has identified.the following weaknesses in the LILCO l

emergency plans i

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 he requisite number of buses and drivers required for successful early dismissal are not available to the schools, his will prolong childrens' stay at schools in contaminated areas, f

3. Needs of Teachers We cannot guarantee that the teachers will stay in schools to supervise early dismissal. Many of us may need to attend to the safety of our own families and, therefore, may not be avAilable to perform emergency-related tasks.

4 Lack of Parental Supervision n

The success of an early dismissal plan depends not only on prompt dismissal from schools, but on prompt evacuation of children from their hoses. In those cases in which parents will not be at home

@ng during the day, children will be sent to unsupervised homes from N@

W which they will not be able to evacuate promptly, c)"'

(8 5

Parental Intercession We cannot be confident that parents will wait at heae for their children to arrive. Many parenta may attempt to retrieve their children at Rg schools, perhaps causing increased confusion and shaos, o

n<

6.

Relocation cp If a Shoreham emergency develops quickly and requires an evacuation of children from schools directly to relocation centers, this district does not have sufficient buses or drivers to transport all children to

@g relocation centers in a timely, effective manner.

Supervision at Relocation centers ide cannot guarantee tnat teachers will travel to and remain at relocation centers to supervise school children until parents arrive to retrieve them.

8.

Trust in Public Information In tne LILCO plan, the only public information upon which to base decisions fer protective actions will come from the utility. LILCO, through its Public Schools Coordinator and WALK-AM Radio, will both describe the extent of the emergency and recommend actions. Because LlLCO would be both operator of the plant and initiator of emergency actions, potential for conflict of interest exista. 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 i

governmental source.

Now, be it therefore l-

RESOLVED, that the Mount Sinal Teachers Association finds that LILCO's emergency plans for schools do not offer children or cchool personnel of this district adequate protection in event of an accident at the Shoreham Nuclear Plants f

and, be it further

RESOLVED, that this association 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.
