by the Technological Hazards Branch of FEMA Region VII against the criteria of NUREG-0654 and 44 C.F.R. Part 350, and a review by Mr. Wingo against the criteria of NUREG-0654 and FEMA 43.

Our testimony with regard to Contentions 11 and 17 a, d, e, and f follows.

CONTENTION 11. a.

The County Plan is deficient because it is not possible under the plan to notify 100%-of the population within five miles of the site within a fifteen minute period, 'and it is not possible to assure 100% coverage

~

within 45 minutes for those persons who do not receive the initial notification'and are within the ten mile EPZ. The evacuation time will therefore be longer than estimated.

RESPONSE

J The assumption contained in the contention reagrding 100% notification is incorrect. NUREG-0654 states in Section B of Appendix 3, for alert and notification systems:

The minimum acceptable design objectives for coverage by the system are:

a) Capability for providing both an alert signal and informa-tional or instructional message to the population on an area wide basis throughout the 10 mile EPZ, within 15 minutes.

b) The initial notification system will assure direct coverage of essentially 100% of the population within 5 miles of the site.

c) Special arrangements will be made to assure 100% coverage within 45 minutes of the population who may not have received the initial notification within the entire plume exposure EPZ.

NUREG-0654 also states in Appendix 3:

The design objective for the system shall meet the acceptance criteria of Section B of this Appendix. This design objective does not, however, constitute a guarantee that early notifica-tion can be )rovided for everyone with 100% assurance or that the system w1en tested under actual field conditions will meet

o 4

~

CCNTEFION 11. b.

n e sirens that are installed for warning purposes will not cover the entire emergency planning zone under all circumstances. S e evacuation time will therefore be longer than estimated.

RESONSE:

FEMA recognizes that licensees can employ a number of means to alert the public. The means to alert is at the option of the licensee. A fully effective alert and notification system nay include a ccabination of means such as fixed sirens, mobile sirens vehicles, tone alert radios, aircraft, and automatic telephone dialers.

Wis contention assumes that alert and notification will be accomplished by the use of sirens only. % is is not the case. W e County Plan, sec.

3.2, Appendix H, and WR-86 indicate that the alert and notification system is composed of. fixed sirens, tone alert radios, and other means of ne ification in recreational areas. W e County Plan also establishes a procedure for compliling a list of individuals who, due to hearing impairments, will require personal notification. W e system is designed to meet the coverage objective cr# forth in NUREG-0654, Appendix 3.

00tfrERTION 11. c.

,'Coffey County does not have sufficient sirens needed to warn people in the event of an emergency. 'Nenty will be required.

RESPONSE

See response to Contention 11. b.

e e-.

.~

5 CONIDTrION 11. d.

The ability of the public to hear the warning sirens will be ore adversely affected by weather conditions than the plan contenplates.

x

RESPONSE

h e process proposed in Appendix A of WR 82-36 for computation of siren sound propagation and predicted siren coverage is consistent with the requirements of NUREG-0654, Appendix 3. FEl%-43 states that the

" average' summer daytime condition" may be utilized as the design basis.

' for siren systems. We sunmer daytime condition is considered conservative by FDR and other federal agencies for acoustical design purposes. FD%

does not expect systems to be designed to be effective in all weather conditions, rather, the system is to be designed to provide a reasonable 5

assurance that the public can be alerted in most cases.

00NTERrION 11. e.

W ere is no provision about how to make the warning if one or more of the sirens fail to operate.

RESPOtEE:

FDfA-43 requires that once a siren system is installed and operational there should be a test and maintenance program for the system. %e program

.should include regularly scheduled testing of the siren system including silent, growl, and full-scale tests. Silent tests should be conducted at least every two weeks. Growl tests should be conducted at least quarterly and when preventative maintenance is performed. Full-scale testing should be conducted at'least annually and as required for fonnal exercises. We

6

+-

maintenance of the system'should include pranpt repair of any components which do not perform as expected during the tests. % e program should include records of tests and repairs performed.

%e operability of the siren system will be considered acceptable when an average of 90% of the sirens can be shown to be functional over a 12 mnth period as determined by a simple average of all of the tests conducted. A 90% operability average over a long period of time is expected

-to provide a reasonable assurance that the public will be alerted. Under this concept any one of the seven sirens proposed for Wolf Creek could randomly fail to operate during no nore than 70% of time for of the total tests ad maintenance program to be acceptable. However, if the records of the test and maintenance program show that the same siren is continually failing appropriate corrective measures will be sought by FEMA. E is concept is believed to provide a reasonable assurance that the system will operate effectively.

CONTENTION 11. f.

Due to insufficlent staffing, Coffey County cannot make the initial notification of an emergency in the required time. Although 67 personnel l.

are required to perform this function, only 10 Sheriff's Department personnel

-ard 3 Burlington Police are presently available.

l

RESPONSE

%e contention assumes that some form of notification is to used that involves a great number of personnel. This is not born out by the County Plan. We County Plan, sec. 3.2, pp. 3-3 and 3-4, details the Sheriff's responsibility fer alert and notification. He has no function i

~

g that requires utilizing a large number of persons to provide notice.

.% e County Plan, sec. 3.2, does require individual notification of persons who are hearing impaired. Wis is the responsibility of the Dnergency.

Preparedness Coordinator who will use County Engineer personnel in New Strawn and persons under the direction of the Fire Ieader in Le Roy and Burlington

~

to notify these individuals. A list of hearing impaired will be prepared in advance of an emergency by the County Health Nurse with the assistance of others, County Plan sec. 3.2, p. 3-4.

nus, contrary to the assumption of the contention, the County Plan provides for notification through fixed sirens, tone alert radios, EBS, and individual alerting of pre-identified individuals.

CONTEtCION 11. g.

% e Coffey County Sheriff's Department does not have sufficient

.equipnent for warning people in the event of an emergency requiring an evacuation. In order to provide for proper notification and comunication, the following is required. vehicles with loudspeakers - 57; and tone alerts for each home - 3500.

RESPCNSE:

See response to Contention 11. f.

CONTEtCION 11. h.

Tone alerts have not been made available to County residents who will not be able to hear the sirens when they are evacuated [ sic]. The County Plan does not indicate how many tone alerts will be required. % e evacuation time will therefore be longer than estimated.

RESPONSE

WR 82-36 addresses this contention as follows:

4 3.2.2 'Ibne Alert (bnfiguraticin thder the final system design, tone alert receivers wouM be used to alert residents of areas not covered by the warr ing sirens. A structure count was provided to Wyle by Kansas Gas and' Electric fx the 5-inile subzone. During the site visit, structures'were counted in the EPZ. Estimates of the number of structures have also been de'veloped from the population estimates shown in Table 2-2, the USGS topographical maps, and discussions with local officials.

Based on the available information approximately 750 residentialL structures in the EPZ lie in.the area not covered by the. warn-ing sirens as defined. in Section 3.2.1. Twelve camercial re-ceivers will be needed to cover all of the recreational, edu-

-cational,~ and institutional buildings in the EPZ.

- We County Plan restates this information regarding the number of tone-alerts. required in Appendix H. If the' survey covered the entire County

.and not just the 5-mile subzone then this contention is answered.

00NJNTION 11. i.and 11. j.

he County Plan makes no recomnendation about how an up to date listing.of those needing tone alerts will be maintained. % e evacuation

~

time'will therefore be longer than estimated.

r Were is no provision for testing or maintenance,of the tone alerts.

W e; evacuation time will therefore be longer than necessary.

RESPONSE:.

FEMA-43 addresses the, tone alert requirements as' follows:

~At a minimum an effective and.. continual program should be estab-lished that encompasses the following:

  1. ne program should offer the tone alerts radios to the public

~

in geographic areas where needed and make the "best effort"

. attempt to place the radios. W is program should include a record system ' register) that contains an accurate list of

e, 10 addresses-(names are optional).in geographic areas where tone alert radios are needed. Addresses where radios are offered to residents and. refused should be noted..

.7

  • - A maintenance program offering annual operating checks should.

be available at least annually to all residents in areas where tone alert radios are needed. The maintenance program and-the register program mentioneo abc,ve may_be integrated.

Tests of the tone alerting features are desired at'least monthly'.

The. finally determination of. testing frequency will rest with the appropriate local government officials. % e results of these

. tests do not have to be monitored.' R e purpose of these test is to

-offer the public a meams.to self-test their receivers.

Written guidance should accorpany the radio..It should address (1) its general use, (2) self-testing freguesney and method, (3) suggested placement to: facilitate monitoring,-(4) the maintenance program,-and (5) telephone numbers for repair or' replacement.

W is information should be provided as a reminder to each tone

~

alert radio holder annually. This public information program may also be integrated with the register and maintenance programs mentioned above..

  • Determination should be made that the broadcast medium for ini-tiating the' tone alert signal has adequate availability (24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day,-7 days a week), signal strength, and signal quality.

Appendix H, p. H-8, of the County Plan provides a description of hw the tone alert program will be administered. However, additional informa-

.tional will b'e required in order to bring-it in to compliance with FEMA

-43.,

C N TENTION 11. k.

- he, County Plan is ~ deficient because it does not make any provision for notifying persons who because of occupation, deafness, or other reasons, cannot hear the sirens or the tone alerts. %e evacuation time will 1

therefore be' longer than estimated.

RESPONSE

u The County Plan does "make provision for notifying persons who

11 because of occupation, deafness, or other reasons, cannot hear the sirens or the tone alerts." County Plan, sec. 3.2, p. 3-4, states that: "Prein-

' dentified residents of the effecti've 10-mile EPZ who are unable to hear (due to deafness, etc.) the tone alert radios or sirens are notified

~ individually." Notification is the responsibility of the Emergency-Pre-

- paredness Coordinator who will use County Engineer personnel in New

~ Strawn and persons under the. direction of the Fire Ieader in Le Roy and

- Burlingt'on to notify these individuals. A list of hearing inpaired will be prepared in advance of an emergency by the County Health Nurse with the assistance of others, County Plan sec. 3.2, p. 3-4.

a. The County Plan is deficient because the federal and state agencies responsible for John Redmond Reservoir do not have plans for ciistributing emergency planning information, evacuation confirmation, access control, and warning and notification of the transient population at the reservoir.
d. We County Plan does not provide how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Kansas Fish and Game Ccmnission will notify persons within their respective jurisdictions. The evacuation time will the~ efore be longer than estimated.

r

e. The U.S. Corps of Engineers', the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Kansas Fish and Game Department cannot educate the transients around the John Rednond Reservoir about evacuation and emergency plans, cannot provide adequate warning when there is an accident, and cannot evacuate up to 10,000 transients at the reservoir because each of the agencies does not have sufficient staff.
f. We State and Federal agencies that have the responsibility for emergency planning and evacuation at John Redmond Reservoir would need 40 or 50 people to make the additional warning, confirm the evacuation, i.

provide transportation for those without it, and direct traffic. Intervenors do not know how many of these people are available.

RESPONSE

The John Redmond Reservoir has a potential for a transient recreational population in the sumer months. he campgrounds within five miles of the plant will be covered by a siren for alerting. However, the parts of the Reservoir outside the 5-mile area should be treated.as an institutional area under the control of the U.S. Amy Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Kansas Fish and Game Comission. Draft procedures

13-

.for theses agencies are presented in the County Plan, Appendix I, p. I-1,

.As the plan indicates these procedures are currently being reviewed by the, re.pcmsible agencies. 'Ihus far only the Kansas Fish and Game Ccmnission

.. has signed a tatter of Agreement comniting itself to the plan, County Plan, Appendix D, p. :D-ll.

To evaluate the adequacy of these procedures a description should be available of how individuals in the recreation areas can be provided an alert signal within'45 minutes. PE R 43 requires. institutional alerting f

system should encompass the following elements in order to have and

~ effective and continual' program:

' Specifications of those organizations and the individuals within those organii.ations by title,'who are responsible for activating

'each existirag institutional alerting system.

  • Description of.the procedures to be employed to notify individuals

.(by title) that the alert and notification system is-to'be activated.

Distribution of special-information to notify those individuals of their responsibility to activate the' existing institutional alert-ing system, including, where appropriate (e.g., hotels, motels,

.shoping centers)', giudance on the most effective method of alerting i-systems activation or other supporting information (e.g., public information stickers, posters).

[

'the' procedures outlined in Appendix I of the County Plan appears to address.these three items. However, further information is required on how the 45 minute notification criteria is to be met.' Appendix H of WR 82-

~36 briefly addresses this aspect and states that the Corps of Engineers I'

estimates.that 50 to 60 minutes are required to cover and notify the L

l portion of the Reservoir under their jurisdiction. The Kansas Fish and Game Cmmission estimates 60 minutes in WR 82-36 but modifies this to 45

' minutes in their Intter of Agreement in Appendix D, p. D-ll, of the County Plan. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, according to WR 82-36, estimate i='

that 45 minutes",would be required for their section of the Reservoir. All L

of these times need to be reduced.in order to satisfy NUREG-0654.
