- 2. Q. Dr. Cordaro, please summarize your professional qualifica- -
tions and your role in emergency planning for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station.
! A. [Cordaro] I am Vice President, Engineering, for LILCO.
My professional qualifications are being offered into evi-dence as part of the document entitled " Professional Qual-ifications of LILCO Witnesses." I am sitting on this panel to provide the LILCO management perspective on emer-gency planning and to answer any questions pertinent to management. My role in emergency planning for Shoreham is to ensure that the needs and requirements of emergency planning are being met, and that the technical direction and content of emergency planning are being conveyed to corporate management.
- 3. Q. Mr. Renz, would you describe briefly the history and back-ground of your involvement in the communications portion of the emergency plan for Shoreham.
A. (Renz] I have been employed by Long Island Lighting Com-pany full time in the emergency planning area for over three years. Prior to the time the County elected not to participate in emergency planning, I had very little in-volvement in the offsite communications area. From the outset, I was involved in onsite communications matters.
After the County decided not to participate at all in emergency planning, I became involved in designing and coordinating the establichment of offsite emergency re-i sponse facilities. This work included consideration of communications systems, equipment, and personnel. i 4. Q. What specific background or training do you have in this area? A. [Renz) My professional qualifications are being offered into evidence as part of the document entitled "Profes-sional Qualifications of LILCO Witnesses." As stated ear-
- lier, I had involvement in designing the emergency commu-nications systems for LILCO's onsite emergency response organization. In addition, I am familiar with the appli-cable regulations and guidelines to be followed in devel-oping an emergency response plan. Because of my familiar-ity with the regulations and guidelines, I coordinated the design of the communications system. I did so with help from several other sources.
- 5. Q. You have used the terms " regulations" and " guidelines".
What distinction do you draw between these terms? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] The term regulation refers to the portions of the Code of Federal Regulations that gov-ern the preparation and-implementation of emergency re-sponse plans. The principal regulations involved in
) developing the emergency plan for Shoreham are 10 C.F.R. 6 50.47 and 10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix E. An example of a specific regulation would be 1 IV.E of Appendix E. That regulation provides that an emergency response plan must include " provision for communications with Federal emer-gency response organizations" and that "such communica-tions links must be tested annually." On the other hand, guidelines are intended to suggest criteria or considerations that should be made in devel-oping an emergency response plan in compliance with the regulations.
- 6. Q. Can you give us an example of a guideline?
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] The guidelines that we have been 4 applying to the development of the communications system are contained-in NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1. Paragraph II.F.1.c provides that each plan shall include " provision for communications as needed with Federal emergency re-sponse organizations." These guidelines are intended to assist in development of emergency plans by suggesting el-ements or. factors which the planner should address in meeting the regulations.
- 7. Q. Were you responsible for the development of the communica-tions portion of the LILCO Transition Plan?
'A. [Renz] I was responsible for the development of the l k
l l communications portion of the LILCO Transition Plan. In addition, I have been principally responsible for seeing to it that all of the applicable regulations are met or exceeded.
- 8. Q. Are you satisfied that the LILCO Transition Plan, insofar as communications is concerned, does meet all the applica-ble regulations?
A. [Renz] Yes.
- 9. Q. Mr. Schiffmacher, would you describe briefly your back-ground and involvement in the coramunications portion of the emergency planning effort for Shoreham?
A. (Schiffmacher] Prior to the time that the County elected not to participate in emergency planning for Shoreham, my 1 involvement in the communications part-of the LILCO Tran-sition Plan was limited. I was involved in some of the technical aspects of installing the onsite communications systems. At that. time, however, I would not characterize. my involvement as going to the' kinds of questions that have been raised in these proceedings. f I was involved in the onsite communications issues-which also include the Prompt Notification System. My.de-partment was given the NRC regulations, NUREG-0654 and a 1982 Prompt Notification' Design study done by Wyle La-boratories. .That study determined matters such as the number,' size and location of the airens needed to cover l l
l l the EPZ. My department then engineered and supervised the construction of the system.
- 10. Q. What are your qualifications as a communications expert with respect to offsite communications matters?
A. [Schiffmacher] My professional qualifications are being offered into evidence as part of the document entitled
" Professional Qualifications of LILCO Witnesses." I was asked to become involved in the effort to design the Com-munications Systems for a number of reasons. First, I was probably more familiar with the design and functioning of the sirens than anyone else in LILCO. Second, many of the communications systems required some familiarity with ex-isting LILCO facilities. For example, the existing dis-tribution system was a factor in designing the siren sys-tem. I am familiar with the design and operation of the LILCO system. Third, I am somewhat familiar with the lo-cation and operation of the existing LILCO communications equipment and facilities. These facilities are utilized in the LERO communications network designed by Mr. Renz and others. Thus, I could assist Mr. Renz in developing the Emergency Communications network. Finally, I am by training an electrical engineer.
'll. Q. Mr. Hobbs, would.you please describe briefly your back-ground and involvement in the communications portion of the emergency planning effort for Shoreham? l l I
i A. [Hobbs] I am an Emergency Planning Consultant with HMM i 4 Associates. My professional qualifications are being of-j fered into evidence as part of the document entitled " Pro-l
- fessional Qualifications of'LILCO Witnesses." My famil-iarity with the issues raised by these contentions stems
- from my experience in emergency planning, communications systems design, and public information.
a
- 12. Q. Mr. Daverio, would you please summarize your professional qualifications and your role in emergency planning for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station.
A. [Daverio] I am Assistant Manager of the Local Emergency Response Implementing Organization for LILCO. My profes-sional qualifications are being offered into evidence as part of the document entitled " Professional Qualifications of LILCO Witnesses." My familiarity with the issues j raised by Contention 26 stems from my work in developing and implementing the LILCO Transition Plan.
- 13. Q. Please summarize the issues raised by Contention 26. A.
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz,. Schiffmacher] Contention
- 26.A. addresses the adequacy.of LERO personnel and equip-l .
ment to notify LERO workers in the~ event of a radiological emergency. The. full text of Contention 26.A. is as fol-l lows: 1 1
l I Contention 26. Intervenors contend that the LILCO communications system and proce-dures for notifying emergency response per-sonnel fail to provide assurance that there will be prompt and reliable notification to such personnel. As a result, the Plan fails to comply with 10 CFR Sections 50.47(b)(5), 50.47(b)(6) and NUREG 0654, Sections II.E and F. Without prompt and reliable notifi-cation of emergency response personnel, nec-essary workers cannot and will not be promptly mobilized, and no aspect of the LILCO Plan, or the protective actions con-templated thereunder can or will be imple-mented, in violation of 10 CFR Sections 50.47(a)(1), 50.47(b)(8), 50.47(b)(9), and 50.47(b)(10), and NUREG 0654, Sections II.H.4, I., J.9 and J.10. The specific deficiencies in LILCO's system for notifying emergency workers are set forth in para-graphs A-E below. Contention 26.A. The LILCO Plan desig-nates the LILCO Customer Service Office (Hicksville) as the primary notification point of the LERO, responsible for receiving
, initial and followup notifications of an emergency from the plant, verifying authen-ticity and content of information contained in the notification messages, and notifying key emergency response personnel. (See Plan, at 3.3-1). In addition, Customer Ser-vice personnel may be responsible for manu-ally verifying emergency worker pager noti-fications and compiling staffing lists (see, e.g., OPIP 3.3.2, at 13) and for attempting to contact by telephone all emergency re-sponse personnel who do not acknowledge re-ceipt of pager notification (see e.g.., OPIP 3.3.2, at 6). The number of emergency per-sonnel to be contacted increases with the severity of the emergency. (See Plan, at 3.3-1 through 3.3-4; Figures 3.3.2, 3.3.3 and 3.3.4). However, LILCO's Customer Ser-vice Office is not capable of serving as the primary notification point of the LERO for the following reasons:
L
i _9
- 1. Although the LILCO Plan does not in-dicate the number of personnel assigned to the Customer Service Office, or the training and equipment available to those personnel, LILCO has informally advised Suffolk County that there will only be two operators on duty during the eight-hour midnight shift.
In addition, the Plan makes no provision for backup for the on-duty dispatcher (s) in the LILCO Customer Service Office. (See Plan, at 3.3-1), other than to instruct the on-duty operator (s) to call out additional Cus-tomer Service personnel "in accordance with established restoration procedures" on an "as needed" basis (see, e.g., OPIP 3.3.2, at 2), and to advise the Hicksville Customer Service operator (s) that, in the event of failure of the LILCO paging system, assis-tance in executing manual call outs of emer-gency response personnel may be requested from the LILCO Customer Service staffs in the Hewlett and Brentwood offices (see OPIP 3.3.2, at 16-17). However, there is no in-dication in the Plan of the number of per-sonnel who could or would respond "in accor-dance with established restoration procedures." Nor is there any indication of how quickly such personnel could respond. Indeed, the Plan does not even describe LILCO's restoration procedures or what is meant by calling out personnel on an "as needed" basis. Similarly, with respect to seeking assistance from the Hewlett and Brentwood offices, the LILCO Plan does not indicate the number of personnel assigned to those offices, whether the offices are staffed on a 24-hour basis, or the training and equipment available to those personnel. Thus, there is no assurance that staffing of the Hicksville Customer Service Office will be sufficient to ensure that the necessary notification functions can be performed.
- 2. The Plan does not indicate that there will be adequate. equipment available to Cus-tomer Service personnel to permit the neces-sary notification in a timely manner, i.e.,
within 15 minutes after an emergency is de-clared. See 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.D.3.
1 I As a result, LILCO's provisions for receiving initial notification of an emer-gency, verifying the information received, and notifying emergency response personnel are deficient and provide no assurance that emergency personnel will be alerted, notified and/or mobilized.
- 14. Q. Contention 26.A raises tha question as to whether there are sufficient numbers of trained personnel and facili-ties at the LILCO Customer Service Office in Hicksville to notify key emergency response personnel in the event that an emergency is declared between midnight and eight a.m. How many trained personnel man the Customer Service office at Hicksville?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] At all times there will be at least two Customer Service workers at Hicksville who have been trained as LERO workers.
- 15. Q. Are these the only people available to perform a manual callout, if a manual callout becomes necessary between midnight and eight a.m.?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz) No. In addition, there will always be at least two trained emergency workers avail-able at Customer Service Brentwood and two trained emergency workers available Customer Service Hewlett.
- 16. Q. Under ordinary circumstances, what are the duties of these Customer Service workers?
l A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Their primary functions are to monitor the electric distribution system and to re-1 ceive and coordinate responses to calls _from customers and others reporting difficulties with service. This includes the dispatch of appropriate LILCO personnel to the scene of the difficulty. l L
- 17. Q. Contention 26.A.1 questions whether the two workers on the midnight to 8 a.m. shift could adequately perform the notification tasks assigned to them. Would you de-scribe more or less chronologically the tasks or ac-tions that these people will have to perform, and the equipment available to them to perform the tasks, in the event that an emergency of some type is declared at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] These tasks are out-lined in OPIP 3.3.2 and graphically represented in At-tachment 1. That attachment identifies the tasks asso-ciated with each of the Emergency classifications. The number of tasks varies, depending, for example, upon which emergency classification is first announced.
- 18. Q. Let's start with the tasks which will be performed at the Unusual Event classification.
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) First, a Customer Ser-vice worker at Hicksville will receive notification from the Plant that an Unusual Event has been declared. He will record the content of the call on Part I of the standard New York State form known as the Radiological Emergency Data Form. This form is included as Attach-ment 2. At the same time, a second worker on this shift proceeds to call in additional Customer Service personnel.
l l
- 19. Q. What is involved in filling out the New York State Ra-diological Emergency Data Form?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] As you can see from the form it is a simple fill-in-the-blank or multiple choice form.
- 20. Q. Is this always the first action taken?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Yes. 1
- 21. Q. What happens next?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] The Customer Service worker then activiates the paging system. This process begins with the worker turning on the test pager at the Customer Service Desk. This test pager is used to ver-ify that the paging signal has in fact been trans-mitted.
- 22. Q. How is the paging system activated?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] The Customer Service worker will place a phone call to the pager service. j Upon reaching the pager company, the worker will enter l a six digit code by pressing the buttons on the tele-phone corresponding to the code. Entry of the code to l l the paging company encoder will prepare-the system to send a signal to the Group I pagers, that group to be notified for an Unusual Event. The worker will then r l
l J i I enter the four-digit code that is to appear on the pagers for Group I and the pager signal or message will be sent automatically. This group is described in the Plan at OPIP 3.3.2, Attachment 1 and is Attachment 3 to this testimony.
- 23. Q. How does the Customer Service operator verify that the signal has been sent? ,
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) He will see the coded signal appear on the test pager at his desk.
- 24. Q. What happens next?
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Three minutes after the signal is sent, the Customer Service operator re-peats the process and activates the pager signal a sec-ond time. The second call provides redundancy in the system.
- 25. Q. Will the Customer Service operator have instructions as to how to perform the notification of emergency person-nel, including codes and numbers?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) Yes. The Customer Service operator will have a manual of written proce-dures at his desk describing exactly the tasks he.is to perform, the phone number or~ numbers to be dialed, and. how many times they are to be dialed. In essence, the manual follows the procedure outlined in OPIP 3.3.2. l l
- 26. Q. Is the paging system accessible through more than one telephone number?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Ren:) Yes. There are four different numbers available to LILCO for purposes of reaching the paging company.
- 27. Q. Will the Customer Service operator know that he has reached the paging company?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Ren ) Yes. When the paging system is reached, it emits three rapid tones indicating that the system is ready to receive input information.
- 28. Q. After the Customer Service operator activates the pager and verifies that the paging system has worked, what is the next task?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Ren ) The Group I pEger sig-nal notifies the seven key LERO emergency. workers. The LILCO Transition Plan states that each of these seven workers should call Hicksville Customer Service and verify that they have. received the page. These seven key LERO emergency workers would also receive. addition-al information about the emergency. The Customer Ser-vice operator records each verification call on a form for that purpose. (See OPIP 3.3.2, Attachment 1 which is Attachment 3 to this testimony).
- 29. Q. What additional information do the seven key emergency workers receive when they make their verification calls?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) Two of the paged emer-gency workers, the Director of Local Response and the Manager of Local Response, will have Part I of the Ra-dio,'--ical Emergency Data Form (Attachment 2 to this testimony) read to them. The other five will have ver-ified to them the current emergency classification, and in addition, be told the time that emergency classifi-cation was declared.
- 30. Q. What happens if all seven Group I workers do not verify receipt of the page?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) If any of the seven key emergency workers do not respond within 15 minutes after activation of the paging system, then the Custom-er Service operator will use commercial telephone lines to call any of the seven key emergency workers who have not responded or their alternate.
- 31. Q. What happens if the first notice is for an Alert or some more serious classification?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) Functionally, the Cus-tomer Service worker goes through the same steps. In addition to those steps described above for an Unusual Event, the Customer. Service operator performs the
additional tasks shown on Attachment 1. As can be seen from Attachment 1, these additional steps are keydd to the Guidelines contained in Appendix 1 of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1.
- 32. Q. Attachuant 1 indicates that at the Alert-Classification or higher, additional groups of LERO emergency workers will be notified. Does the LILCO Transition Plan con-template that the additional groups of emergency workers vill' verify receipt of the paged notice?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Yes.
- 33. Q. How many emergency workers are there in pager Groups II and III?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) Approximately 135.
- 34. Q. Does the Plan contemplate that all of these workers will call in to the Customer Service operators at Hicksville and verify receipt of the page in the same manner as the Group 1 key LERO emergency workers?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) No. The LILCO Transi-tion Plan makes use of an Automated Verification System to verify that these emergency workers have, in fact, been notified.
- 35. Q. Is this the system referred to as item 4 under the Alert Classification on Attachment.1.
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) Yes. -You will see it referred to as item 4 under Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency.

- 36. Q. Can you further describe this system?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher) Yes. If 1 you will look at Attachment 4, you will see a simula- ] tion of a printout from the AVS.
- 37. Q. Chronologically, when would the AVS print out this kind of information?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] Thirty minutes after the system is activated by the Customer Service operator in Hicksville, the system will print out this information at Hicksville. If the EOC is ac-tivated at that time, the AVS also will print out this information at the EOC. The AVS will also print out updated information, on command from the Customer Ser-vice office, at both the EOC and at the Customer Ser-vice Office in Hicksville.
- 38. Q. Directing your attention to Attachment 4, can you explain to us what these data represent?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] Yes. Column 1 represents the emergency worker's job identi-fication number. For example, on the simulated printout, in Column 1, you-see the No. 2127. This is , I the identification number for a specific LERO position. l
- 39. Q. Does this number identify a specific individual?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] No. It
l l l l l l identifies a LERO position. For example, three traffic guides will have this number and one of those individu-als will be on call at all times. Thirty minutes after
- the AVS is activated a printout is automatically pre-pared. A' person reading the printout will know whether one of the traffic guides assigned to this position has, in fact, acknowledged receipt of the paged mes-sage.
- 40. Q. Directing your attention to Column 2, what is shown in that column?
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] This column simply indicates the job title associated with the code number. There may be people using this printout who are not intimately familiar with all of the LERO worker identification codes. Anyone can look at this printout and see that 2127 is a traffic guide.
- 41. Q. What is shown in the third and fourth columns of At-tachment 4?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio,'Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] The third column indicates the date on which this particu-lar worker called in to the AVS and the. fourth column indicates the time the call was made. : l
- 42. Q. time Whattheif the third and fourth columns are blank at the printout is made?
m m
- - _ ~ . . - . . . - . -- . -- - - - - . . - . - .. - -.. .
l J
- A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] If these columns are blank, it indicates that someone filling I
this particular position has not called in to AVS.
- 43. Q. Could you describe mechanically and in general terms how the LERO workers will get this information into the
- AVS?
4 A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] All of i j this information is entered into the AVS by telephone.
! 44. Q. Why don't you pick up the description chronologically and describe what happens after the emergency worker receives the message on his pager?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] The worker will have written on his pager the AVS telephone number that he is to call. He will call this number 1 and the AVS system will answer, or really acknowledge receipt of the call, with a standard greeting, such as "You have reached the LERO Verification System. Please enter your emergency worker identification number." The emergency worker will then press the buttons on the telephone which correspond to the identification num-ber. , i
- 45. Q. What happens next?-
A. [Cordaro,- Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] The AVS will then-respond to the caller as follows: "You have
- entered identification number 2127. .
Is that correct?" l l
,. - . , . - . - , - . . g --,.
The emergency worker will then acknowledge that the AVS has correctly received his identification number by de-pressing one additional code button on the telephone.
- 46. Q. How will the AVS know that the caller is, in fact, a LERO worker?
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] All of the worker identification numbers will be stored at the AVS. When the caller enters his identification number, the AVS will determine whether the number entered cor-responds with one of the numbers stored in the syste,m. If it does, the process will continue. If the number entered does not correspond to a stored identification number, the AVS will terminate the call.
- 47. Q. You indicated previously that approximately 135. people may be paged if both Group II and Group III workers are notified. What if several of these people try to call into the AVS simultaneously?
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] The sys-tem will have the capability of handling 12 calls si- ! multaneously. Furthermore, in the event there are more calls than can be handled at one time, the system has - the capability to stack, or in effect put on hold, mul-tiple additional calls.
- 48. Q. You indicated a moment ago that the emergency worker identifies himself by pressing the buttons on his phone which correspond to his identification number. What if he does not have a phone with buttons on it?
1 l l i I A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] If a l l worker calls the AVS using a rotary telephone, or one which is not a touch-tone phone, the AVS will answer l the call. However, when the AVS requests that the worker enter his identification number, it will be im-possible for him to do so since he does not have a touch-tone phone. As a result, after the AVS requests tha't the identification number be entered, nothing will happen. The AVS is programmed to wait 7 seconds to re-ceive an identification number. If no identification number is entered within that time period, the AVS will automatically add a Customer Service operator to the call.
- 49. Q. What do you mean add to the call?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] The AVS will physically cause one of the phones to ring at the Hicksville or Hewlett Customer Service desk. When the Customer Service operator picks up that phone, he will be one of three parties on the line -- the Customer Service worker, the emergency worker who is calling in without a touch-tone phone and the AVS will all be on that line.
~
l 1
- 50. Q. What is the purpose of this arrangement?
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] The emergency worker can give his identification number orally to the Customer Service worker and the Customer Service worker can press the buttons on his phone to enter the data into the AVS.
- 51. Q. How many Customer Service operators will be available to receive these kinds of calls?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] Poten-tially anyone of at least four Customer Service opera-tors from either Hicksville and or Hewlett will be available to perform this function.
- 52. Q. Do you know what percentage of the LERO workers pres-ently have touch-tone phones at their residences?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] No. But the decision has been made to provide all LERO workers who are issued pagers with a touch-tone phone at their residence.
- 53. Q. Are there other tasks which may be performed by the
' Customer Service worker?
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] If the initial emer-gency classification is a General Emergency with pro-tective action recommendations, the Customer Service operator may be required to initiate the procedure for activating the Prompt Notification System. (See OPIP l l 1
l 1 l 3.3.4). This System includes the sirens and the tone alert radios.
- 54. Q. Under what circumstances would the Customer Service Su-pervisor he required to perform this task?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) Ordinarily, the deci-sion to activate the Prompt Notification System is made by the Director of Local Response. When the Director of Local Response calls the Customer Service Office to verify receipt of the page, he will, if appropriate, instruct Customer Service to notify the plant to acti-vate the sirens. In addition, the Director of Local Response will direct the Coordinator of Public Informa-tion to activate the Emergency Broadcast System. If the Director of Local Response has not contacted the Customer Service operator within 10 minutes after the operator receives notification of a General Emer-gency from the Shoreham Control Room, the operator, by procedure, will initiate activation of the Prompt Noti-fication System. The Customer Service operator will coordinate the activation of the sirens and the Emer-gency Broadcast System with the Coordinator of Public l , Information, if he is available, or, if neither the Di-rector of Local Response nor the Coordinator of Public-Information is available, the Customer Service operator
l l I will notify the Shoreham Control Room to activate the ! sirens and WALK-FM to activate the Emergency Broadcast System.
- 55. Q. Do you antic'ipate that two Customer Service operators could, if necessary, perform all of the notifications described above?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Yes. Barring some malfunction of the entire pager system, which is ex-tremely unlikely, two workers could perform the tasks adequately. Backup to Customer Service Operators
- 56. Q. Contention 26.A raises the question as to backup per-sonnel at the LILCO Customer Service Office. Are there provisions for such backup personnel?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Yes. The contention focuses on the midnight to eight a.m. shift when only two Cus-tomer Service operators are normally on duty at Hicksville. As discusued in orevious testimony, all of the essential tunctions can be performed.with on-duty personnel. That is, the receipt of the initial notifi-cation, the activation of the pager system, and the activation of the Prompt Notification System, if neces-sary, could be accomplished by one worker. i

- 57. Q. Under what circumstances does the LILCO Transition Plan contemplate that additional Customer Service workers might be needed in order to perform the functions as-signed to the Customer Service workers at Hicksville?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) As can be seen-from Attachment 1, if any type of emergency. classification
, is declared at the Plant, the LILCO Transition Plan i provides that additional Customer Service operators 'l I will be summoned to the Hicksville Customer Service of-i fice. These workers, along with the workers available at Brentwood and Hewlett, ordinarily would be more than adequate to perform comfortably all of the functions assigned to Customer Service workers. Only if it be-I ~
comes necessary to effect a manual callout of emergency i workers is it likely that all'of the Customer Service operators on duty will be fully occupied for any ex-tended period of time.
- 58. Q. Under what circumstances would it be necessary to ef-feet a manualicallout?
! A. [Cordaro,.Daverio, . Hobbs, Renz) ' Only if the pager sys-l tem fails entirely would a manual callout be necessary. i
- 59. Q. If the pager system does fail.and if it is necessary to effect-a manual callout, and again let's assume-that- ;
this contingency arises at 2 o' clock-in the morning, how many trained Customer Service workers will.be i available to immediately begin the manual calloutl pro-i cess? u l A. [Cordaro, Daverio', Hobbs, Renz) There will be._two in , 1
. Hicksville,-two at Brentwood and'two at Hewlett.

- 60. Q. How will the workers at Brentwood and Hewlett be notified?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Ren:] By telephone.
- 61. Q. Are they trained to effect the manual callout of emer-gency workers?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Ranz] Yes. l
- 62. Q. In addition to the Customer Service operators at Hewlett and Brentwood, does the LILCO Transition Plan provide for additional backup workers that can be called in?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Ren:] Yes. l
- 63. Q. Can you explain?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) There are at least four backup Customer Service workers for the Hicksville Customer Service office. At the present time, three of these workers could be at the Hicksville Customer Ser-vice Office from their residence within 30 minutes of receiving notification. If you will look at-Attachment 1, you will see that in the event-that any form of emergency is declared at Shoreham, one of the things that the Customer Service Office will do is institute procedures for bringing in additional help. That is Item 6 in the Unusual Event column.
- 64. Q. Are the four backup workers for the Customer Service desk at Hicksville trained LERO workers?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Yes.
- 65. Q. I- want to direct your attention for the moment to the experience of the Customer Service workers who might be called upon to make this manual callout of emergency workers. Do these people have any experience doing this kind of work?
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Yes.
- 66. Q. Is this experience which they have from their work at LILCO or is this from some sort of training they have received?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] This is from actual job expe-rience as well as from training.
- 67. Q. Could you describe this job experience?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz) On those occasions when there are thunderstorms, wind storms or gas leaks, etc., it is necessary to call up numerous LILCO employees to re-I spond to the various types of emergencies. In some in-stances, such as in the case of a thunderstorm, it may be necessary to call out numerous workers on very short notice.
- 68. Q. Let's take your example of an thunderstorm. What hap-pens if a thunderstorm develops unexpectedly at three-o' clock in the morning and it becomes necessary to call out large numbers of LILCO employees? What do the two Customer Service workers at Hicksville do under those circumstances?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz]. They have established proce-dures that are used under those circumstances to call
in the backup personnel referred to above as well as other operations personnel.
- 69. Q. Are these procedures essentially identical to the pro-cedures which will be followed to call in backup per-sonnel to the Customer Service Office in the event of a radiological emergency?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz) Yes.
- 70. Q. Are the procedures mentioned in Attachment 1 the same procedures which the Customer Service workers would follow in our example?
A. (Cordaro, Renz] Yes.
- 71. Q. Can the Customer Service office be relieved of some or all of its LERO duties?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz) Yes, when the Emergency Op-erations Center is functional. It should be kept in mind that the EOC will be activated at the Alert clas-sification level.
- 72. Q. Can you give us an example of what you are talking about?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio,_Renz] Yes. It is contemplated that in the event that some emergency workers do not respond to the paged message and it becomes necessary to manu-ally call these workers at their.home or at their of-fice, this process will be commenced intially by per-sonnel at the Customer Service Office. However, once the Emergency Operations Center is functional, this
function, if still needed, may be transferred to or supplemented by the EOC. 73. Q. If these functions are transferred in whole or in part to the EOC, which responsibilities? individual will assume these A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] The Lead Communicator (see OPIP 3.3.2, p. . of 163). 74. Q. In the unlikely event that part, or all, system fails and it becomes necessary to implement aof the pager manual callout of emergency workers at three o' clock in the morning, and Brentwood offices of LILCO?what support is available in the Hewlett A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz, Schiffmacher] You should keep in mind that any time between midnight and 8:00 a.m. is optimal in one sense, in that practically everyone who has been issued a pager will be at home and easily reached. The manual callout would be made only to those per - sons holding pagers affected by a malfunction of part or all of the pager system. Both Hewlett and Brentwood are manned 24 hours a day { 1 by customer service personnel. At 3 a.m. there would ( l I be two such personnel at Hewlett and two such personnel ! at Brentwood. These persons, along with all of the others who man this position, are trained to assist with a manual callout should such a callout be necessary.
l l l i i I Notification of Public
- 75. Q. In Paragraph 26.A.2 of their contentions, the County questions the capability of LERO to make certain noti-fications to the public within 15 minutes after an emergency is declared. The citation in question is to 10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.D.3. Does that section deal with notification to the public?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Yes.
- 76. Q. Does that section deal with any other type of notifica-tion? -
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) - Yes. It also deals with the requirement that the licensee, which in this case is LILCO, has the capacity to notify the offsite officials of an incident at the nuclear power plant. 1 1
- 77. Q. Under this section how much time does the plant have to give notification to offsite authorities of the decla-ration of an emergency?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Fifteen minutes.
- 78. Q. After the plant has given notice of the declaration of an emergency to offsite authorities, does this section require that there be a capability to notify the public within a specific time period?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Yes. There must be-a capability to effect this second notification within 15 minutes.
- 79. Q. The last paragraph of Contention 26.A.2 suggests that LILCO must have the capability of notifying emergency personnel within 15 minutes. If this is the thrust of that contention, is there any such.15 minute require-ment in Section IV.D.3?
- - - * , se -
l - I A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] No. I
- 80. Q. In the event that it is necessary to notify the public that an emergency has been declared at Shoreham, does the LILCO Transition Plan provide the capability under the guidelines and regulations, to notify the public within 15 minutes?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Yes.
- 81. Q. How is this notification to the public made?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Notification to the public is made via a Prompt Notification System which is described in some detail within other testimony in this proceeding. The two principal components of this system are 89 outdoor sirens and a' system of tone alert radios. As described earlier in this testimony, the system is activated in accordance with defined proce-dures (see OPIP 3.3.4 and 3.8.2).
- 82. Q. Contention 26.A.2 may be read to question the existence of the capability by LERO to notify the public within 15 minutes of LERO's receipt of notification. If that is what is intended, at least in part, by this Conten-tion, would you describe the personnel and equipment provided by the Plan for notifying the public?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Following the guidance in NUREG-0654, Appendix 3, LERO has established the means to notify the public by using a series of sirens and tone alert radios. Upon receipt of notification that the initial declaration is a general emergency, I l I
including protective action recomendations, the Custom-er Service operator has 10 minutes within which to con-tact the Director of Local Response (see OPIP 3.3.2 at 8 of 163). Should the Customer Service operator be un-able to reach the Director of Local Response within 10 minutes, the procedures direct the Customer Service op-erator to contact the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station control room and advise them to activate the prompt no-tification system.
- 83. Q. Are these the only circumstances then under which you would activate the Prompt Notification System?
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] No. The Plan comtemplates activating the Prompt Notification System at the Site Area Emergency level or General Emergency Level. The above listed circumstances are those in which Customer Service would play a role in the activation of the Prompt Notification System. At times when the EOC is ac tivated, the activation of the Prompt Notification System is carried out from there. Contention 26.C--Pagers
- 84. Q. What does Contention 26.C deal with?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Contention 26.C states as follows: Contention 26.C. The LILCO Plan provides for no-tification of " key" emergency response personnel by pager. (Plan, at 3.3-2 through 3.3-4 and 3.4-5).
According to LILCO, these key personnel "will not leave the LILCO service territory or New York City while on call," and they are to arrange for coverage by alternates during times when they cannot be on call. (See OPIP 3.3.2, at 14-15). Notwithstanding LILCO's assertion, however, there is no assurance that key emergency response perconnel can reliably be contacted through the LILCO paging system due to distance limitations on transmission, the fact that batteries for the pagers may run down and not be charged or replaced or tested on a regular basis, and unavailability of the individuals equipped with pagers (for example, because of illness or travel out of the paging area). In addition, although the LILCO Plan provides that emergency personnel equipped with pagers are to call in to LILCO's "au-tomated verification system" upon receipt of notifi-cation (see Plan, at 3.4-5), the Plan does not ade-quately describe this system or how it works. (See OPIP 3.3.2, at 12-13). The limited information pro-vided by LILCO about the system and how it works does not permit a determination that there will be adequate means for LILCO to determine whether emer-gency personnel in fact receive paged mes-sages / notifications. Nor is there any requirement in the Plan for confirmation of messsge- by con-tacted personnel. The Plan only provides that emer-gency personnel are to respond recording to the code displayed on their pagers, regardless of whether verification can or cannot be made. (fje OPIP 3.3.2, at 14). Since verification under the Plan is only verification that emergency persorael have re-ceived some paged message, the responce to the mes-sage may not be the response intended and appropri-ate (e.g., due to pager malfunction, emergency personnel may be notified to go to standby status, rather than to report). As a result, there is no assurance under the LILCO Plan that key emergency response personnel will be promptly alerted, notified and mobilized. l Distance Considerations
- 85. Q. Contention 26.C raises various questions about the paging system. The first question deals with distance limitations. Could you describe briefly the range or effective area of coverage of the system?
1 A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz) This system, through a series of linked, fixed transmitters,~has the capability of notifying workers with pagers in the New York Metropol-itan area, including all of New York City, New Jersey, Long Island, and parts of upstate New York. Attachment 5, a brochure from the paging company, outlines the range of the system. LERO utilizes the VHF system which is outlined in blue on Attachment 5.
- 86. Q. Are the emergency workers who will have pagers aware of the pager system range?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Yes. But any time a person is "on call", he will be required to remain in LILCO's service territory, or New York City, both of which are well within the coverage of the system. See OPIP 3.3.2 at 14 of 163. Thus, workers who are on call can be contacted at all times. Batteries
- 87. Q. The Contention also questions the reliability of the pagers based on the fact that they rely on batteries which must be regularly charged or replaced. How does
'he LILCO Transition Plan address this Contention?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] LERO members issued pagers are issued pager operating and testing instructions consistent with OPIP 3.3.2, 5 5.6, which includes pager operating and battery testing instructions. The pager
1 i i 1 in question uses a replaceable AA cell battery. These f batteries are issued to persons who carry pagers. 'The batteries are generally available at a wide variety of commercial outlets, and they will also be available to LERO personnel at the LILCO Stores Department. The pagers are designed to emit a continuous tone when the battery becomes low. This alerts the holder that the i battery needs replacement.
- 88. Q. What if the warning tone feature doesn't work or the pager becomes defective for some other reason?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] The pagers will be tested weekly for an initial period of time to ensure that the entire pager system is operating properly and to pro-mote familiarity with the system. If a pager is found to be inoperative the holder of the pager may exchange it for one that is working. Once it has been deter-mined that sufficient familiarity with the paging sys-tem has been established, the testing schedule for the pagers will be quarterly.' (See Plan, at 3.4-7). Availability of Personnel with Pagers
- 89. Q. Contention 26.C. questions whether there will always be available an adequate number of personnel, equipped with pagers, to staff'an emergency response. How does the Plan provide such assurances? '
l A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Each LERO position equipped t l l
J with a pager has, at all times, a designated primary worker and two alternate workers. The alternates in-sure that someone with the pager will be "on call" if an emergency occurs. Workers with pagers who are "on call" are instructed to arrange for coverage by one of i their emergency position alternates in the event they find, for any reason such as illness, travel, etc., that they cannot be available to respond to an emergen-cy callout. This assures that all emergency worker po-sitions with pagers will be staffed at all times by l someone who is available to respond to an emergency a callout. 4 Verification of Notification i 3
- 90. Q. Paragraph 26.C. of the contentions questions the ade-quacy of the LILCO Transition Plan's description of the system for verifying that emergency workers haveLbeen notified. How does the plan address this issue?
, A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] NUREG 0654 1 II.E.l' l provides expressly that "the specific details of. veri-fication [of notification of emergency workers] need not'be included in the plan."' However, the Automated j Verification System discussed earlier'in this testimony will permit LERO to verify, automatically, the identity and job description of those emergency workers who have been notified.
- 91. Q. Contention 26.C conjectures that an emergency worker with a pager might receive an erroneous or inaccurate page due to pager malfunction. How does the LILCO Transition Plan address this possibility?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] As noted earlier, the pagers initially will be tested weekly and thereafter i quarterly; therefore, this risk of pager malfunction is reduced. Contention 26.D--Call-Out of Emergency Workers by Telephone
- 92. Q. What does Contention 26.D deal with?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Contention 26.D states as as follows: Contention 26.D. The LILCO Plan provides for key emergency response personnel, after having been con-tacted through the LILCO paging system, to notify, in turn, other emergency response personnel by tele-phone. The number of personnel to be contacted in-creases with the severity of the emergency. (See OPIP 3.3.2). However, some emergency response per-sonnel will not be near telephones (such as meter readers and other LILCO employees who may be in the process of performing their normal job functions, or persons who are not at home), will be using their telephones or, for other reasons, will not be able to be contacted. In addition. it will take a sub-stantial amount of. time to place the number of tele-phone calls necessary to reach the required number of emergency response personnel. (See, e.g., OPIP 3.3.2, Attachment 5). Thus, under the LILCO Plan there is no assurance that there-will be prompt no-tification and mobilization of emergency response-personnel.
- 93. Q. In the event of a General Emergency, how many emergency workers will be called out?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Approximately 142 will be _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - - - - - - - - - - - _______-.-________---___________________j
notified by pagers. Eighty-ceven of the 142 persons paged will call out an additional 823 emergency workers.
- 94. Q. Would you describe how these 823 workers will be con-tacted?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz) Yes. Most of these people will be contacted by commercial telephone.
- 95. Q. What about LILCO employees who are ordinarily in the field during-normal business hours? Contention 26.D.
specifically points out this problem as it relates to meter readers. How does the LILCO Transition Plan ad-dress this issue? A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Approximately 175 of these workers, including meter readers, will be equipped with pagers that will be activated by the Group III tone. These workers will carry the pagers with them at'all times when they are in the field.
- 96. Q. Is it contemplated that these people upon notification by pager to report will go directly to their assigned duty station?
A. (Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Yes. l
- 97. Q. Is it contemplated that they will notify their supervi-sor, at their office, that they have received the paged notification and that they are proceeding to their duty station?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Yes.
- 98. Q. Is it possible that an' effort will'be made to. reach
- some of these meter _ readers by a telephone call?
l l-
1 A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Yes. And, in the situation where the meter reader has already received the paged notification and has notified his office that he is proceeding to the duty station, the emergency caller seeking to reach the meter reader at his office will be 4 notified by that office that the meter reader is al-ready on his way. 1
- 99. Q. Could you describe what part of the LILCO Transition Plan relies on commercial telephones?
A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz) Of the 142 people who are notified by pager, approximately 87 of these will, in , turn, be called upon to telephone other emergency-workers to report for duty. 100. Q. Will these emergency workers who are expected to per-form the callout referred to above have lists of names and numbers that they are to call? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Yes. 101. Q. Under ordinary circumstances will a caller be required to call more people than are on his list? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] No. 102. Q. How many people are on each list? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] The number may vary slightly, but in no instance will it be more than 25. I I T '
l l l l l 103. Q. How many of the approximately 25 people on the callout list would have to be reached? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz) Fifteen. Contention 26.E 104. Q. What does Contention 26.E deal with? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] Contention 26.E states as follows: Contention 26.E. The LILCO Plan has no proce-dures that assure prompt notification of non-LILCO emergency support organizations and personnel, name-ly, hospitals, reception and relocation centers, bus companies, and ambulance companies. Presumably, commercial telephones will be used to attempt to contact these organizations and personnel. While there are procedures for notifying other non-LILCO emergency support organizations, namely, the Brookhaven Area Office (which will, in turn, notify DOE-RAP personnel), the U.S. Coast Guard, the Feder-al Aviation Administration, and the New York Tele-phone Company (see OPIP 3.3.2, Attachment 4), noti-fication of these entities is to be by way of commercial telephones, which under the LILCO Plan are assumed to be available. There is, however, no assurance that the necessary personnel will be capa-ble of being contacted by telephone since they may not be near telephones or may be using their tele-phones. Further, these same problems make ineffec-tive LILCO's reliance on the Federal Telephone Sys-tem as a backup means for contacting the Brookhaven-Area Office, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Federal Aviation Administration (see OPIP 3.2.2, Attachment 4). Moreover, under the LILCO Plan there is no pro-vision for verification of-messages to non-LILCO emergency support organizations, as required by NUREG 0654, Section II.E.1. Further, with the ex-ception of the Brookhaven Area Office, the New York Telephone Company, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Federal Aviation Administration (whi~ch are notified if an Alert is declared by LILCO), the LILCO Plan apparently contemplates notification of non-LILCO emergency support organizations only if a Site Area or General Emergency has been declared by LILCO. (See Plan, Figure 3.3.4.) Thus, there is no
l assurance that there will be timely notification to the support organizations relied upon by LILCO (see Plan, at 2.2-1 and Figure 2.2.1), and there can be l no finding that the LILCO Plan can or will be imple-mented. l 105. Q. What is the principal mode of communication that will l be used to notify hospital, reception and relocation centers, bus companies and ambulance companics of the actual or potential need for their assistance in the event that some level of emergency is declared? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz) The communications used for such notifications will be primarily by com-mercial telephone. 106. Q. Are there any other means of communication with eny of these locations? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Hobbs, Renz] Yes. Radio communica-tions will be possible between the EOC and ambulance companies. 107. Q. Who has responsibility for notifying the bus companies and ambulance companies? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz) When a determination is made that assistance is needed from one or more bus compa-nies, the companies will be contacted by the two Bus Coordinators. Ambulance companies will be contacted in a similar fashion by the Ambulance Coordinator. Both i of these individuals will operate out of the EOC in I Brentwood.
\
108. Q. How would hospitals be notified of an emergency at Shoreham and of any recommended protective actions? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] All hospitals within the EPZ will be provided with notification that an emergency has been declared. These hospitals are equipped with tone-alert radios. Recommended protective actions will be broadcast over the Emergency Broadcast System. Ad-ditional information can be provided to hospitals by commercial telephone. Hospitals outside the EPZ who may be called upon to assist with an emergency response will be notified by the either comercial telephone or by radio communication from the ambulances who may be transporting evacuees from within the EPZ. 109. Q. What about the relocation centers? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] The relocation centers will be notified by the American Red Cross in accordance with their standard operating procedures. These commu-nications are by commercial telephone. 110. Q. How would reception centers receiving evacuees from the EPZ be notified in the event'of an emergency at Shoreham? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz] At the present time, no re-ception centers for facilities within the EPZ, such as nursing homes, have been identified. The LILCO Transi-tion Plan, however, contemplates that the Health
%s
l l I Facilities Coordinator will notify such reception cen-ters via commerc'al phones during an emergency. LILCO will provide upon the request of the special facility or reception center, a tone alert radio to the recep-tion center to also serve as a notification mechanism, 111. Q. Why was the decision made not to notify select non-LILCO support organizations except in the case of a de-clared Site Area Emergency or General Emergency? A. [Cordaro, Daverio, Renz) Because it is our understand-ing that no functional purpose would be served by noti-fying these organizations at the Unusual Event or Alert classificati ns. It might be noted,_ however, that the following entities are notified at the Alert Level: FEMA, Connecticut, Nassau County, NY Telephone Company, U.S. Coast Guard, FAA, and BNL.
