e QUESTIONS 1 Provide additional information relating to emergency action levels (specifically containment radiation levels).
RESPONSE
The Limerick EAL's for containment rad monitors were originally based on the values applied at Peach Bottom.
The relationships between the containment rad monitors and percent fuel damage (see EP-325) are different for Limerick and Peach Bottom.
For the same R/hr instrument reading the percent fuel damage at Limerick is greater.
The Limerick EAL's have been lowered as shown in the attached draft revisions to Table 4-2.
l 5
For the General Emergency an EAL of 10 R/hr will be used; for l
- Site, 4
5 x 10 R/hr; and for Alert, 4
10 R/hr.
Based on the EP-l 325 curves and EP-325-1 table, we believe the 165 R/hr satisfies the IEN 83-28 guidance relating a General Emergency to about 20% fuel damage.

OUESTIONS 3 & 4 I
Describe siren system actuation and notification of public within 15 minutes.
RESPONSE
Per EP-105, notifications are made to the off-site authorities upon declaration of a General Emergency.
This notification includes recommended protective actions.
The off-site agencies then operate in conformance with Annex E, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency-Disaster Operations Plan, to provide protective action recommendationa to the Public.
Annex E, Appendix 8, provides the concept of operations used by the Commonwealth for Public Alert / Notification.
This concept includes determination by PEMA that the sirens should be sounded, coordination with counties to time sounding, activation of system by counties, and EBS broadcast activation.
(See attached).
County Radiological Emergency Response Plan will address activation of the siren system in their next revision.

REFERENCE Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Emergency Broadcast System Plan, January 1981.
II.
DEFINITIONS
~
A.
Alert - Caining the public's attention primarily be means of a siren system supplemented as necessary by a route alert system utilizing loudspeakers and door-to-door contact.
B.
Notification - Broadcasting of an appropriate message over the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) immediately af ter the 4
sirens have been sounded.
C.
Route Alerting - This is a supplement to the siren system and is implemented, as necessary, in the event of siren failure or or to alert persons _or areas which may not be within the sound of the sirens. Route alerting is a municipal responsibility and is to be accomplished by pre-designated route alert teams travelling in vehicles along preassigned routes delivering the following message: "There is an emergency at the Wixed nuclear facility); please tune to your Emergency Broadcast Station."
D.
Sirens or. siren system - Refers to the sirens especially installed in the plume exposure pathway EPZ (approximate ten mile radius around each nuclear power plant) for the specific purpose of gaining the attention of the people during an incident at the plant.
E.
Siren signal - A th ee to five minute steady blast that alerts the public to turn on a radio or television and listen to their 2SS station.
III. PURPOSE 4
~
To establish the alert / notification system that will be implemented la rumponse to an iacident at a nuclear power plant.
IV.
SITUATION i
A.
Pf30L is the lead state agency for the'overall coordination of alert / notification in response to an incident.
B.
The alert siren system will be activated from the risk county emergency operations center E-8-1
. CHANGE 3

v.
coNewr UF UPEIMTIONS A.
The Eureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) provides recommendations to PEMA. PEMA will determine the necessity for activating the g
alert / notification system.
B.
At the direction of PEMA, sirens may be sounded:
(a) when there Ju slunificant information that will reassure the public of their safety; (b) when the public is to be informed of a plant status that may lead them to implement specific actions on their own; or (c) when specific actions (to include protective actions) are to be taken by the public.
C.
PEMA will coordinate with the risk counties and involved contiguous states regarding the specific protective action, the specific times for the sounding of sirens and activation of.the EBS system, and the notification message to be used.
D.
At the specific time coordinated by PEMA, each risk county will:
activate the sirens; ensure that municipalities implement route alerting, if necessary; broadcast the notification asssage over the EBS.
E.
EDS stations commence broadcasts-immediately after sirens are sounded.
F.
Immediately upon activation af the public alert / notification system, PEMA will notify the National Weather Service to broadcast a public notification message via the National Oceanic and 4
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio Station (s) for he the affected area.
G.
Subsequent to the activation of the alert / notification system, PEMA will coordinate the dissemination of follow-up and continuing emorgency public information as detailed in Appendix 15 "Public Education and Information."
VI.
SYSTEM DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND TESTING A.
The minimum design objectives for coverage by the alert /
notification systems are:
1.
Capability for providing both an alert signal (sirens) and an informational or instructional i
message (EBS announcement) to the population on an area-wide basis throughout the plume exposure pathway EPZ within 15 minutes.
2.
The initial alert / notification system will assure direct coverage of essentially 100% of the population within five miles of the site.
3.
Special arrangements will be made to alert the populations within the plume exposure pathway EFZ who may nqt have received the initial alert.

B.
The minimum testing requirements for the alert / notification systems are:
1.
The county siren system for the plume exposure pathway EPZ for each fixed nuclear facility will be tested as follows:
a.
A silent test k.11 be conducted every two weeks with appropriate log entry.
b.
A growl test will be conducted quarterly and when preventive maintenance is performed.
c.
A complete cycle test of the alert signal will be conducted annually and in conjunction with the annual full-scale cyarcise, to include broadcast of a test message over the county EBS station.
2.
Each risk county wilJ. provide PEMA with an annual statement certifying that the silent and growl tests were performed.

l QUESTIONS 6 & 8 How are emergency response personnel notified by Shift Supervision?
RESPONSE
Notification to emergency response personnel is performed primarily by telephone thru a fan-out system.
The advantages of this system are simultaneous message delivery, freeing of major personnel to accomplish other duties, verification of contact and response, transfer of vital information to response personnel.
Beepers are provided as a backup contact method.
Past experience at Philadelphia Electric and a review of other utility practices, has indicated that beepers are insufficient alone.
Personnel must call back to verify notification and response, thereby busying telephone lines and personnel answering phones.
Incoming personnel are better prepared if informed of the situation at hand.
If the information is to get to them, it must come from the plant, thus to obtain information before arriving, they tie up vital personnel by calling back to the station.
To use the fan-out to provide information is more efficient.
March 16, 1984
QUESTION 7 Provide a draft of public information brochure.
RESPONSE
The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency is presently drafting the LGS brochure.
By agreement with PEMA, PECo distributes this brochure when made available by PEMA for distribution.
A copy of the PBAPS brochure (draft) is attached here for reference.
Format and wording are consistent with PEMA's proposed LGS draft.

QUESTION 10 What provisions will be made for thyroid " screening" of site personnel upon evacuation?
RESPONSE
The merits of ',' screening" site evacuees for thyroid uptake of radiciodine has been reviewed.
It may be argued that such screening will serve to reassure the evacuees.
It can be argued just as well that subjecting people to unnecessary monitoring would cause them to wonder whether a problem actually existed.
Others would resent the apparent harassment and delay in "getting home".
Assuming there was a need to evacuate non-emergency site personnel, such a decision would be made and implemented long before significant levels of airborne activity were reached.
Time of potential exposure would be short - an hour or so; therefore, intake of radiciodine would be low.
The time for the body to metabolize iodine to the thyroid would not be rapid enough for screening to detect radioiodine in the thyroid.
Our position is that the screening is not warranted because there would be nothing to detect.
The potential benefits would be very low and indeed there may be some adverse consequences.

Dear Mr. Daltroff:
This letter is provided to assist those utilities committed through the regulatory process to update their emergency preparedness letters of agreement annually and to outline INPO's role in the event of an emergency at a member utility's nuclear power plant.
INP0 will assist the affected utility by quickly applying the resources of the nuclear industry in meeting the needs of the emergency.
INPO, when notified of an emergency situation, will provide any resources under its authority in response to Philadelphia Electric Company's radiologi-cal emergencies, as requested. Such situations are equivalent to the " alert,"
" site," and " general" emergency conditions, as defined by NRC. Utility emer-gency response planning should include notification of INP0 via the dedicated emergency call number for these situations.
INPO will be able to provide the following emergency support functions:
assistance to the affected utility in locating sources of emergency a.
manpower and equipment b.
dissemination of information to member utilities concerning the incident applicable to their operations organization of industry experts who could advise the utility on tech-c.
nical matters To support these functions, INP0 shall maintain the following emergency support capabilities:

The dedicated emergency call number is (404) 953-0904,- and the alternate i
emergency call number is (404) 953-0922. An INPO duty officer will respond to the call, and the Emergency Response Center at INPO will be activated, as necessary.
4 When you call the emergency number after hours, an automatic dialing system will answer and give you the message on Attachment A, or an answering service will request this information and page the duty officer.
If requested by the utility, one or more suitably qualified members of INP0's technical staff will report to the recovery manager and will assist his staff in coordinating INPO's response to the emergency as follows:
)
a.
staffing a single position responsible to the appropriate utility manager as liaison for ali INPO matters b.
Working with the INPO duty officer in Atlanta-to coordinate all requests for assistance, INPO response, and related communications i
l' c.
assisting the utility as requested in initiating and' updating entries i
into industry information systems (such as NOTEPAO) concerning the accident status and related information of value to other utilities d.
ensuring that all emergency information released by the INPO liaison is cleared properly and formally through appropriate utility channels -
An INFO representative normally shall be capable of being dispatched on approximately four-hour notice.
l-Upon request in an emergency, INPO will provide assistance'to the-affected utility in locating and arranging additional emergency manpower, equipment, and the services of various technical experts from industry sources.
