Dear Chs.irman Palladino:

According to an Associated Pres s story which appeared in the loca15an I,uis Obispo Telegram-Tribune of October 29, 1983, you and s om etimes critte Representative Richard Ottinger " agree on a crocial point: P ublic confidence is vital to a nucicar future."

Specifically. you are quoted as saying:

Public anxieties about nuclear operations are real, whether well founded or not... The c6ntinued growth of n.2 clear power will ultims.tely depend on the confidence of the pob11e and utilities in the cost and safety o! nuclear power. (Attachment A}

Similarly, a story in the same newspaper ten days earlier began:

The best way to ensure against panic during a nuclear accident or other disaster is for people to have confidence in emergency plans ano know what to do.

So says a Cal Poly psychologist (Charles M. Siem] who has s tudied the is s ue...

Dr. Siem concluded:

I want a plan that's been tested and that the communit3 members feel comfortable with. At this point, the community has n't t'

come to accept that yet.

The challenge to the community at large is to continue to work

..r.t C'D Cli::.::.-

n the plan until the people are satisfied that it will work. (Attachme nt B; Y

which appeared in the Telecram-Tribune between October 19, 1983 and the end of that month. (Attachment C) ~Obviously, letters are not neces-sarily a reflection of comenunity sentirnent but at the very least it adds another cautionary note to believing that there is community confidence

' n the Plan, i

t vr y is confidence so low? I have chosen two stories which ran in the n

local newspaper during the last week of October which may give you somf j.

insight into the concerns of the local community and why the Emergency Response Plan inspires so little conficence.

The first story, which ran on October 24, stated that because of the fog,

"(s) blown fuse on Cuesta Peak forced three radio stations and one' tele-

~ ~ ~ - - - - '

I vision station off the air for 2-1/2 hours early this morning."

( A ttichm ent D)

The incident occurred only four days after FEM.A's third annual test of l

the Emergency Response Plan was reported to b,e a success.

I The test of course had been announced weeks in advance.In addition, the I

test took place on a lovely, clear morning, Under such circumstances, apparently no major problems were encountered.

But, NUREG-0654, pages 61 and 63, states:

9.

Each State and local organizstion shalt estabtish a capability for implementing protective measures based upon protective action guides and other criteria...

j N

.1

.;.'o J

f it 4 November 1983 Page 3.

Chairman Nunzio Palladino 13 The organization's pians to implernent protective measures for the plume exposure pathway shall include:

1.

Projected traffic capacities of evacuation routes under e me r ge ncy c onditions...

k.

Identification of and means for dealing with potential impediments (e.g., seasonal impas sability of roads) to use of evacuation routes, and contingency measures...

In the San Luis Obispo Emergency Rasponse Plan, " emergency conditiens" and "scasonal impasstbility of roads" is considered only in terms of heavy rain (Attachment E). In such a case, anywhere from 45 to'75 minutes is added to the time necessary for evacuation. Page I. 5(7) of the Plan does reention fog but only as follows:

. [T? 'Ifni)edlTzEn'W tWv~a EEati n]

...The most likely impe'dtments to evacuation would be a heavy rain or fog which could reduce the roadway capscities due to a(de) crease (sic) in traffic density. The effcet of these

---l----

conditions is shown in Table I. 5-6 (Attachtnent E)."

The occurre nce of a seas onal impediment. such as vs.in or fog would be expected to require rerouting of traffic although evacuation time s may be extended... (Attachme nt F).

As least three issues arise from these statements. h' irs t. SilhaT.iiiethoI4 CdoT6Tf.2Gs. 3 sed s o.thE~oply14_5;t4;.7ErnwntEs were aTde.d_to. tae tii5Ei.S Ln_e;Iii t i ryjofcy a c_u MioK_ig.34 av y; rain ; c.d.ingay e Et o"fhTr_ Tsath.e rf Second. given the problem mentioned in the newspaper article which was caused by a very slig'ht fog condition. 6;KA.the same.tiMitirHates3 Gle>1nta53R TJM1ic1UyG Mttachme nt E)-for-tre'avv rgieruffice-foria cfogt If not, what time frame is more accurate ? Third. LWhrat.6 tWerg3 tuo3tme esti_m_alef"Ln.tYe.P_larrWrother._ emerge _g_cy conditions such ass C ooding-and-carthquajg;.$7 Inasmuch as the Plan makes it clear that fl

-sheltering in buildings within the Emergency Planning Zone l's rarely a viabic option, is sues two and three above are of critical importance.

A single blown fuse on a slightly foggy morning is an unimportant story...

untilit is realized that the fog is given as the reason for the radio and s

e em e

--a r.

r 9/r 4 November lo83 Page 4.

Chairman Nunzin Palladino television stations being off the air for more than 2-1/2 hours and that the Emergency Response Plan is ill-prepared to handle fog or other inclement conditions.

The second news story ran t.vo days later. The lead paragraph read:

Tbc state won't have money to replace MorFo Bay's Twin Bridges for (t isast three years, a state official said Tuesday.

l l

The story concluded by stating *" officials believe there is no hurry to do i

s omething about the situation." (Attachment G)

Let us return to Attachme nt F, Impedime nt to Evacuation:

In recent years, flooding has closed roads for a number of hours at certain points. The " twin tiestles" location o'n South Bay Beulevard between Los Osos and Morro Bay is known to flood under the combined condition of high tide and he_svy rain...another closure occurred near tbs Los Osos Valley R oad interchange south of the town. Events such a= these may delay use of au cvacuation route until the road is clear, thus extending the evacuarion time in proportion to the lost capacity.

In fact, flooding at " twin bridges" or " twin trestics" is not an unusual event.

sometimes occurring several times during each winter's storms ! When this flooding happens the only route from Los Osos / Baywood (hom'e for approximately 12,000 people) to Morro Bay is cut. Thus, the primary evacuation route away from the Nuclear Power Plant is clesed. The only l

remaining rond to the outside is Los Osos Valley Road which leads into the city of San Luis Obispo. San Luis O*2ispo is the enajor population ce nter in the Emergency Planning Zone. During an emergency situation, the influx of thousands of additional peopic traveling over this two-Inne road boggles the mind. Further, as the previous quote stated, Los Osos Valley Road itself is subject to flooding! !!

Chairman F711adino, in the interview cited at the beginning of this letter, you art sak :o believe that "some issues are technical and beat left to experts..." Based on continuing errors in fact and judgment, such as those mentio '.d in this letter, a mtjority of the peepic in this o m m enity
