TESTIMONY OF CAROL A. CLAWSON, MATTHEW C.
CORDARO, AND CHARLES A. DAVERIO ON PHASE II EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 20 (WALK RADIO BROADCASTING AT NIGHT)
PURPOSE Contention 20 alleges that because WALK-AM Radio does.not broadcast at night, persons without FM radios will be unable to receive adequate information in the event a radiological emergency at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station occurs at night.
The pur-pose of this testimony is to demonstrate that the public, includ-ing persons without FM radios, will be able to receive an informa-tional/ instructional message about a radiological' emergency at Shoreham.
The testimony shows that WALK Radio has.the capability to broadcast simultaneously on both its FM and AM bands 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day and in fact does so during weather emergencies.
It shows that LILCO has a letter of agreement with WALK Radio which states that, in the event of a radiological emergency at Shoreham, WALK will activate the tone alert radios and send radio signals out over both AM and FM airways simultaneously.
It also shows that LILCO has letters of agreement with other Suffolk County radio stations to broadcast EBS messages.

Q. Are you familiar with Contention 20?
A.
[Clawson, Cordaro, Daverio]
Yes.
4.
Q. Would you please summarize the issues raised by Contention 20?
A.
[Clawson, Cordaro, Daverio]
Contention 20 alleges that because WALK-AM does not operate at night persons without FM radios will be unable to receive adequate information in the event of a radiological emergency at the Shoreham Power Station.
Specifically, the contention states that:
Contention 20.
LILCO intends that EBS messages will be broadcast simultaneously by WALK-AM and FM.
(Plan at 3.3-6.)
- However, WALK-AM does not operate at night.
There-fore, those persens without FM radios (espe-cially people in cars) will be unable to receive adequate infcrmation in th'e event a radiological accident occurs at night, con-trary to the requirements of 10 CFR Section 50.47 (b)(5).
5.
Q. What is the regulation cited in Contention 20?
A.
[Clawson, Cordaro, Daverio]
The regulation cited in Con-tention 20, 10 C.F.R. 5 50.47(b)(5), reads as follows:
10 C.F.R.
S 50.47(b)(5)
Procedures have been established for notification, by the licensee, of State and local response crganizations and.for notifi-cation of emergency-personnel by all organi-zations; the content of initial and follow-up messages to response organizations and the public has been established; and means to. provide early notification and clear in-struction to the populace within the plume:
exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone have been established.
~
s
.. l 6.
Q. How does LILCO propose to comply with 10 C.F.R. 5 50.47(b)(5)?
A.
[Clawson, Cordaro, Daverio]
The LILCO Transition Plan I
complies with 10 C.F.R. 5 50.47(b)(5) through its Prompt Notification System and the Emergency Broadcast System.
)
The Prompt Notification System, including the tone alert radios activated by the Emergency Broadcast System, will provide the public with prompt notification, and the EBS mes' broadcast over the Emergency Broadcast System will provide instructions to the populace of the EPZ.
4 7.
Q. What is the role of Radio Station WALK in a radiological emergency at Shoreham?
A.
[Clawson, Cordaro, Daverio]
The role of Radio Station WALK is to broadcast EBS messages to the public.
By broadcasting the EBS messages, WALK provides the public i
both with notification of an accident at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station and with clear instruction and
)
information as to the recommended protective actions.
The signal sent by WALK-FM Radio will activate the tone alert radios that will provide prompt notification to schools, hospitals, nursing homes, large employers, and other large institutions within the plume exposure pathway EPZ.
WALK-FM's signal also will activate equipment at other participating EBS stations and will enable these addi-tional stations to simulcast the EBS message as well as to tape the message for rebroadcast'.
l l
8.
Q. Does LILCO have a letter of agreement with WALK?
A.
[Clawson, Cordaro, Daverio]
Yes.
It is Attachment 1 to this testimony.
9.
Q. What does that letter of agreement provide?
A.
[Clawson, Cordaro, Daverio]
LILCO's letter of agreement with WALK provides that WALK will send informational /
instructional messages over both the AM and FM radio air-ways used by WALK.
- 10. Q. Is it true that WALK-AM ordinarily broadcasts only during the day?
A.
[Clawson, Cordaro, Daverio]
Yes.
WALK-AM's current license permits AM broadcasting from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
- 11. Q. Does WALK-FM broadcast 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day,-every day of the year?
A.
[Clawson, Cordaro, Daverio]
Yes.
- 12. Q. Suppose WALK-FM were on the air in the middle of the night and a radiological amergency occurred at Shoreham.
iClat would happen?
A.
[Clawson, Daverio]
It is true that Radio Station WALK-AM ordinarily broadcasts only during'the day.
WALK broad-casts on its FM frequency 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day and has the capacity to broadcast the same message simultaneously on both AM and FM when a simple procedure is followed by the person broadcasting.
The procedure to broadcast on
l WALK-AM simultaneously with WALK-EM is as follows.
The l
l broadcaster presses a button to turn on the AM transmit-l ter.
The button is located approximately 10 feet from where the broadcaster normally sits while broadcasting on WALK-FM.
The AM transmitter is activated instantly when l
the broadcaster presses the button..After pressing the button, the broadcaster retravels the 10 feet to his nor-mal position for broadcasting on WALK-FM and-flips a 4
switch so dnat the message being broadcast on WALK-EM will j
be broadcast simultaneously on WALK-AM.
Under current WALK broadcasting procedures, the broad-caster needs permission from WALK management to activate WALK-AM during non-broadcasting hours.
LILCO is presently working with WALK to establish a written procedure for simulcasting on the AM band at night in the event of a-radiological emergency.
The written procedure, which.will be formalized well before. fuel load, will eliminate the need for obtaining prior management approval to broadcast on AM at night in a radiological emergency.
LILCO also is-working with Radio Station WALK to train' station personnel in elements of the emergency plan which pertain to EBS.
- 13. Q. Is there any legal obstacle to WALK-AM broadcasting at night?
A.
[Clawson, Cordaro, Daverio]
There is no legal obstacle to WALK-AM broadcasting at night during an emergency.
With
l l l the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) knowledge and post-approval, WALK has, during weather emergencies, main-i tained AM broadcasting through the night (see Attachment 2).
In such cases, the FCC merely requires notice after the station has broadcast during such an emergency condi-tion, so that proper records can be kept.
It is our understanding that the regulations permitting such emer-gency broadcasts can be found at 47 C.F.R. 5 73.1250 (see
! ).
- 14. Q. Does LILCO have any assurance that WALK-FM will broadcast.
on AM at night?
A.
[Clawson, Daverio)
Yes.
WALK has executed a letter of agreement dated July 20, 1983, which reads in part as fol-lows:
WALK will respond to requests from specified and mutually agreed upon indi-viduals and/or agencies to activate tone-alert radios associated with the Prompt Notification System and send prepared instructional / informational messages over both AM and FM radio airways utilized by WALK.
In a subsequent. letter, the management of WALK Radio reaffirmed its commitment to broadcast on its AM Station 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day, if necessary, during a radiological inci-dent at Shoreham.
The letter states:
In summary, AM operation has occured in the past at this station during a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period and we are willing and capable to do so in the event of an emergency at.
Shoreham.
l I
. Thus, the management of WALK has agreed to broadcast on its AM signal at any hour of the day or night in the event of a radiological emergency at Shoreham and has not limit-ed in any way the hours when WALK will respond.
See Attachments 1 and 2.
- 15. Q. Earlier, you mentioned other EBS stations.
Has LILCO entered into any agreements with other radio stations to broadcast emergency information?
Are you working on getting such agreements?
A.
(Clawson, Daverio]
In addition to WALK-AM and WALK-FM, as of February 20, 1984, LILgo has signed letters of agree-ment with other radio stations to broadcast informational and instructional messages about an accident at the Shoreham plant.
LILCO now has Letters of Agreement with WBLI-FM, Patchogue; WCTO-FM, Smithtown; WGSM-AM, Hunt-ington; WLIM-AM, Patchogue; WLIX-AM,- Islip; WRHD-AM, Riverhead; WRCN-FM, Riverhead; WGLI-AM, Babylon; and WRIV-AM, Riverhead.
See Attachments 4.through 12.
We have discussed the local EBS arrangements with additional radio stations in Suffolk and are expecting several more stations to sign letters of agreement and to participate-in the Emergency Broadcast System.
- 16. Q. Will any of the radio stations just mentioned have the capability to croadcast on the FM band?
A.
[Clawson, Daverio]
Yes.
The following stations have the ability to broadcast on the FM band:
WBLI-FM (106.1),
9-Patchogue; WCTO-FM (94.3), Smithtown; and WRCN-FM (103.9),
Riverhead.
I.
- 17. Q. Will any of the stations mentioned above have the capabil-ity to broadcast on the AM band?
i j
A.
[Clawson, Daverio]
Yes.
The following stations have the l
)
ability to broadcast'on the AM band: 'WGSM-AM (740), Hunt-l ington; WLIM-AM (1580), Patchogue; WLIX-AM (540), Islip; i
f WRHD-AM (1570), Riverhead; WGLI-AM (1290), Babylon;land WRIV-AM (1390). Riverhead.
- 18. Q. Do any of the AM radio stations you have just listed broadcast at night as part of their normal broadcast hours?
A.
[Clawson, Daverio]
Yes.
WGLI-AM (1290),
Babylon, broad-casts 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day.
- 19. Q. What would happen if a radiological emergency at Shoreham
)
occurred at a time other than an EBS station's regular 1 broadcast hours?
]
A.
[Clawson, Daverio]~ As the letters of agreement attached f
to this testimony state, radjo' stations that are members i
of th= Emergency Broadcast System will'use their full day--
s time capabilities "to broadcast emergency informationLwhen e
necessary, in the station's discretion, to,the safety,of 1
life and property during an em~ergency at'the Shoreham
+
i f.
Nuclear Power Station."

. 20. Q. In the event of a radiological emergency at SNPS, what messages will be broadcast by other member stations of the Emergency Broadcast System?
l A.
[Clawson, Daverio]
The message broadcast by WALK will be either simulcast or taped and rebroadcast.
Therefore, the message that each station in the Emergency Broadcast Sys-tem broadcasts will be identical.
- 21. Q. How will the other member stations of the Emergency Broad-cast System be notified of the need to begin broadcasting an EBS message?
A.
[Clawson, Daverio]
As the second item in each letter of agreement describes, notification of the other EBS radio stations will be accomplished by installing a broadcast receiver, tuned to the frequency of the Common Program Control Station (CPCS).
Like tone alert radios, the broadcast receiver will be activated by an attention sig-
.nal from WALK-FM.
The receiver will permit the stations that are part of the Emergency Broadcast System to be alerted immediately upon receipt of'the attention signal and to immediately monitor the emergency programming of the CPCS.

Dear Ms. Clawson:
I'm writing in response to our recent phone conversation regarding WALE's facility utilization for emergency notification.
Our stations will gladly cooperate in any way possible to help keep the public informed.
i As you know, WALI-FM, with Long Island's most powerful radio signal, is the only station capable of covering all of Nassau and Suffolk Counties as well as much of Conpecticut.
WALK-FM operates 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
AM stations on Long Island are restricted to daytime signals (with the single exception of a 250 watt signal in Treeport).
WALK-AM however has the unique capability of broadcasting along with the FM with the flip of a single switch by the air personality.
This is because we simulcast the same programming on both stations when the AM is normally on the air.
In f act, with the F.C.C. 's knowledge and post-approval we have, on a number of occasions, during snow emergencies maintained AM broadcasting through the night.
In these cases, the F.C.C. merely requires notice after we've had such an emergency c'ondition so that proper records can be kept.
It should be mentioned at this point that while our staff is used to operat+ng two stations at once and our equip-ment is physically set up for such a situation.my sources tell me that the other AM/FM combinations on Long Island do not have the single facility capability on a moment's notice.
In fact, some may take as much an a couple of hours to call in qualified operators to start up their AM equipment.
Some do not have people capable of using studio equipment present 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
In summary, AM operation has occured in the past at this station during a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period and we are willing and ISLAND BROADCASTING COMPANY, INC.
