Contention 3 3-3 FOR THE 38 IDENTIFIED SHELTERS, WHAT IS THE PRESENT NUMBER OF COTS? OF MATTRESSES? OF BLANKETS 7 OF SHEETS? OF-PILLOWS? (NCDEM) Answer: Items listed above would be brought in from the Department of Correction central supply warehouses and from correctional Enterprises warehouses. The initial supply would be made available from the closest correction facility. The Red Cross could furnish additional blankets and cots within 4 to 6 hours. They could also furnish within 24 hours 15,250 cots and 44,000 blankets available from their eastern region operations. No materials are stored in shelters on an ongoing basis. However, the counties in North Carolina involved with the Catawba ^ Plant have 1000 cots distributed equally between 5 counties. 3-4 WHAT IS THE PRESENT ACTUAL STOCK OF FOODSTUFF AND BEVERAGES BY SFECIFIC KIND AND BY AMOUNT? WHERE IS IT STORED? WHAT DID IT COST 7 (NCDEM) Answer: Items listed above would be brought in from the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Correction warehouses. Initial supply of prepared foods would be made available from the closest Agriculture Department warehouse in Salisbury. Agriculture also have a central warehouse located in Butner. The North Carolina counties involved with the Catawba Plant have a three to four weeks supply of food that could be made available through the counties school systet warehouses. C/1360745 -.

Also,.see Attachment I, list of Red Cross and U. S. Department of Agriculture food commodities. 3-5 WHAT SPECIFIC ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO PROVIDE AN UNCONTAMINATED WATER SUPPLY? HOW LARGE IS IT? IN THE ALTERNATIVE, HAS AS ARRANGEMENT BEEN MADE TO DECONTAMINATE WATER? IF SO, WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS ITS CAPACITY PER DAY? WHAT ENERGY SOURCE WILL IT REQUIRE? (NCDEM) Answer: No specific arrangements have been made to provide an uncontaminated water supply, primarily because we feel that uncontaminated water will not be a major concern in the event of an emergency at Catawba. (NERPS) Answer: If the question is with respect to radioactive contamination, we believe that the physical location of shelters is such that there is no potential for radioactivity contaminated water. 3-6 WHAT IS THE LONGEST STAY PLANNED FOR AT THE SHELTER? WHAT IS THE LONGEST STAY ENTERING INTO FEMA /NRC PLANNING? WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ASSUMED IN THE LONG STAY SITUATION? (NCRPS) Answer: In the event of an evacuation ordered based upon an actual release of radioactivity, it is not possible to specify in advance the expected duration of stay in shelters;

however, the following are considerations which may directly influence the duration:

a. Given that a release has occurred and the public has been evacuated, a recommendation for re-entry would not be made until appropriate' monitoring, C/1360745 sampling and radioactivity analysis. indicates that re-entry is permissible. Accordingly, the minimum duration of stay in a shelter should be assumed to be at least two nights. In the event that the release results in measurable residual environmental radiation and contamination levels, this minimum duration of stay may have to be extended by one week or more due to the extensive additional monitoring, sampling and analysis which would be required. b. If measured radiation and contamination levels were not suitable for human occupancy, additional weeks could be added for ' decontamination and/or allowing for radioactive decay. Based upon the TMI experience, it should be. assumed that, in the case of a protracted period of uncertainty with ' respect to the facility's

status, an early precautionary evacuation cannot be ruled out; especially for sensitive population (e.g.,

children and pregnant women). Resultant shelter stays could be as lengthy as the uncertainty of the facility status. In any evacuation, there is a question of whe.ther or not evacuees will be willing to return to their homes even when permitted or recommended by the state. In summary, any evacuation should be viewed as being potentially indefinite and plans should provide for increasing and C/1360745..

indefinitely extending support for sheltered populations.

Further, the number of people should be conservatively based upon the number of people residing within the evacuation planning zone (i.e., approximately a 10-mile radius).

3-7 WHAT IS THE WORSE CASE RATE OF EVACUEES TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES? (NCRPS) Answer: Under our protective action guides, evacuation of the public could be considered if projected exposure of the public could exceed one rem to the whole body. Conversely, one rem overall dose commitment for the event would be used as a. guide for permitting the public's return to their homes. This should be clearly distinguished from recommending such a return. Re-entry by the public is purely a personal decision based upon one's, acceptance of the resultant radiation exposure. In this regard, the radiological consequences of return must be explained to -the publi'c in conjunction with our decision to permit re-entry. We would consider recommending public re-entry if the radiological consequencies would not be likely to exceed ~ 100 - 170 millirem whole body dose commitment (overall). 3-8 WHAT IS THE WORST CASE NUMBER OF EVACUEES TO REQUIRE CRISIS RELOCATION? (NCRPS) 9 C/1360745.

Answer: The worst case number of evacuees requiring prompt alerti,ng and evacuation should be considered to be the entire populatior. within about a 10-mile radius. I am aware that NURGE-0396 indicates as well the potential need to evacuate people in areas beyond 10 miles depending upon severity of the accident and i meteorological conditions.

However, such areas would not require evacuation as quickly as those within 10 miles.

An analysis of this population by evacuation experts should result in a better estimate of shelter requirements considering such things as the number of ' he t area having acceptable visitors and residents in places to go other than sheltels. 3-9 WHAT IS THE WORST CASE NUMBER OF EVACUEES WHO WILL BE PERMANENTLY DISPLACED, I.E. UNAtLE TO I ETURN TO THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF IMPERMISSIBLJ RADIATION LEVELS? (NCRPS) Answer: We cannot respond to this question since it relates directly to the " worst hypothetical case" for which planning is required and to the philosophical question i of considering far worse accident scenarios. 3-10 HAVE APPLICANT AND GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES ASS"UMED A MOST LIKELY EMERGENCY? IF SO, WHAT IS IT? WHAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE WILL REQUIRE EMERGENCY SERVICES? FOR HOW LONG? (NCRPS) Answer: We have not assumed a "most likely" emergency. Conversely, our planning basically assumes response to a l - C/1360745, L

range of emergency conditions and that all

federal, state and local personnel and resources (identified in the State plan) could be required during any emergency response; and assumes that any and all protective actions may be required.

3-11 FOR THE WORST CASE WHAT PROPORTION OF EVACUEES ASSUMED TO USE THE PROVIDED SHELTER; WHAT PORTION TO MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS? (NCDEM) Answer: North Carolina would provide shelters for all residents within the 10-mile EPZ. Shelters would also be provided for South Carolina evacuees entering North Carolina. 3-12 HOW MANY PERSONNEL ARE ASSIGNED TO ADMINISTER THE SHELTER OPERATION? HAVE THEY BEEN DESIGNATED? WHAT TRAINING HAVE THEY RECEIVED OR WILL THEY RECEIVE? WHAT ARE THE JOB REQUIREMENTS? (NCDSS) Answer: See Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Mecklenburg and Union Counties Attachment II. 3-13 IN PROCESSING EVACUEES, HOW MANY PERSONS IN A RECEPTION TEAM? PROVIDE JOB DESCRIPTIONS SUCH AS CLERK, RADIATION MEASUREMENT TECHNICIAN, DECONTAMINATION TECHNICIAN, COOK, JANITOR, ETC.

HOW MANY CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY BE DECONTAMINATED AT EACH SITE? ARE SPECIALLY TRAINED NURSES OR PARA-MEDICALS REQUIRED TO PERFORM DECONTAMINATION? o (NCDEM) F Answer: No equipment is stored 'at shelters on an ongoing basis. Equipment will be provided as necessary. (NCRPS) Answer: Someone'else must answer the first two questions in this item. In response to the third question, specially trained nurses or paramedics would not be required for in-shelter decontamination. C/1360745 'l

3-18 HOW MANY TOWELS ARE IN PLACE FOR DECONTAMINATION USE AT EACH FACILITY? (NCDEM) Answer: There are no towels in place at shelter facilities for decontamination. Towels will be dispositioned when shelter plans are activated. WHAT OTHER SUPPLIES ARE REQUIRED FOR DECONTAMINATION? (NCDEM) Answer: See (NCRPS) responses in 3-15, 3-16, 6-7 and 6-8. IN WHAT AMOUNTS ARE SUPPLIES PRESENT AT THE 38 SHELTERS? (NCDEM) Answer: Supplies will be provided as shelter plans are activated. WHAT IS THE WORST CASE HOT WATER REQUIREMENT FOR c. DECONTAMINATING? (NCDEM) Answer: All the population within the 10-mile EPl. 4 WHAT IS THE CAPABILITY OF EACH-SHELTER IN REGARD TO PER PERSON SUPPLY NEEDS? (NCDEM) Answer: Supply as needed. 3-19 WHAT. DISPOSITION ~ WILL BE MADE AT EACH SHELTER OF CONTAMINATED A) CLOTHING, B) WATER, C) OTHER (SPECIFY) MATERIALS? (NCRPS) i Answer: Contaminated clothing is held in sealed plastic bags and will be packaged for decontamination or disposal. Such packages will'be transferred out of the shelters under the control of radiation experts. C/1360745- -

Contaminated water will be discharged to the sanitary sewer.. All other contaminated material, except for human excreta, will be held for disposal under the control of radiation experts. 3-20 HOW WILL THE COST OF SHELTERING ACTIVITIES IN THE 38 SHELTERS BE MET? (NCDSS) Answer: See Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Mecklenburg and Union Counties Attachment II. 3-22 OF THE 38 SHELTERS IS IT TRUE THAT FIVE ARE WITHIN 15 MILES OF CATAWBA AND ANOTHER 4 WITHIN 20 MILES? (NCDEM) Answer: Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency

Response

Plans and Nuclear Power

Plants, NUREG-0654-FEMA, REP-1, page 63 paragraph J.10.h. states that shelters should be located at least 5-10 beyond the boundaries of the plume exposure (EPZ).

Therefore, shelter locations are consistent with guidelines established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).. (SCEPD) Answer: No WHAT PLANNING PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THREATENED SHELTERS? (NCDEM) Answer: We expect that shelters within 20 miles of the Catawba Plant will not be threatened.

However, emergency C/1360745 shelter plans in Cabarrus, Cleveland, Union, Lincoln and Iredell Counties could be activated, if necessary.

(SCEPD) Answer: Movement to safe shelters 3-23 IN THE WORST ' CASE ACCIDENT, WHAT IS THE PEAK NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES EXPECTED AT EACH SHELTER? WHAT ARE THE CORRESPONDING PARKING CAPABILITIES? IF EXISTING SPACE IS NOT ADEQUATE, PROVIDE SPECIFICS FOR HANDLING EACH OVERFLOW. (NCDEM) Answer: In most cases shelters are located at facilities with numerous parking spaces. (SCEPD) ~ Answer: A. Unknown B. Adequate 3-24 HAVE ANY STUDIES BEEN MADE WHICH WOULD SHOW THE DEGREE TO WHICH THE CONTENT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM HAS BEEN LEARNED BY THOSE EXPOSED TO IT? (NCDEM) Answer: Not aware of any studies developed to show degree to which the content of the public education program has been learned by those exposed to it. IN A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLING, WHAT PART OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO IT? (NCDEM) Answer: Don't know what percentage of the general public has been exposed to it. WHAT PART OF.THE CATAWBA EPZ DWELLERS? (NCDEM) C/13,60745 -

Answer: Duke ePower Company distributed public education information to all residences within the EPZ. 3-25 HAVE THERE BEEN ANY EMERGENCY CLEAN-UP EXERCISES IN NORTH CAROLINA? (NCDEM) Answer: We have not conducted an emergency clean-up exercise in North Carolina. However, as part of the Catawba Nuclear Station

Exercise, a Table Top Exercise dealing with Reentry and Recovery operations was held on February 16, 1984.

The purpose of the Table Top was to bring all the State. agencies together including the American Red Cross to discuss problems that would be encountered during the reentry and recovery operations. (SCDHEC) Answer: No 3-26 WAYNE BROOME HAS PROVIDED AN INVENTORY OF RADIOLOGICAL INSTRUMENTS. PROVIDE THE TYPES OF RADIATION SEPARATELY MEASURED BY EACH INSTRUMENT, THE INSTRUMENT RANGES, FREQUENCY OR ENERGY LEVEL CHARACTERIZATION, PROVISIONS FOR CALIBRATION FOR EACH TYPE OF INSTRUMENT LISTED: CDV-138, -700, -715, -742, AND -750. INDICATE WHICH INSTRUMENTS OPERATE IN REAL TIME. (NCDEM) Answer: CDV-138 measures total exposure to gamma radiation range 0-200 milliroentgens. CDV-700 measures gamma radiation, also detects beta radiation. Has three ranges, 0-0.5 milliroentgen per house, 0-5 mr/hr and 0-50 mr/hr. C/1360745 CDV-715 measures gamma radiation. Has, four ranges 0-0.5 roentgens /hr, 0-5 r/hr, 0-50 r/hr, and 0-500 r/hr. CDV-742 measures total exposure to gamma radiation. Range 0-200 roentgens. CDV-750 - an instrument that supplies a D.C. voltage source to zero or charge the CDV-742, CDV-13'8 or other similar type dosimeter. (Dor,imeter charger) Calibration - The CDV-700 and CDV-715 survey instruments are calibrated in the State maintenance and calibration facility using cesium 137 sources. There are provisions for checking the accuracy of the readings of the CDV 138 and the CDV-742 dosimeters by placing them in a radiation field inside a calibrator for a certain length of time. These calibration sources are checked' every two years using a calibration standard that is traceable to the National Bureau of Standards. CDV-700 detects gamma and x-ray from 30 KEV window open and 50 KEV window closed. Energy dependence' ! 30% 80 KEV to 1.25 MEV. ~ CDV-715 energy dependence 15% gamma radiation between 80 KEV and 1.2 MEV. o C/1360745.

3-27 WHAT MEANS ARE PROVIDED IN EMERGENCY PLANNING FOR THE REUNITING OF FAMILY MEMBERS SEPARATED DURING EVACUATION? (NCDEM) Answer: Reuniting of family members separated during evacuation will be dealt with as part of the Red Cross and Division of Social Services Shelter Management procedures. Contention 6 6-1 IS THERE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO COMPEL THE EXAMINATION OF PERSONS FOR RADIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION? (NCDEM) Answer: Yes, but while there is no specific statutory authority we believe such authority exists under the emergency powers of the governor and under state statutes. (NCRPS) Answer: We are. not aware of a clear authority under which we could compel a person in the public to submit to an examination for radioactive contamination. 6-2 IF A MAJOR RELEASE OCCURS UNDER STAGNANT CONDITIONS WITH RANDOM WIND MOVEMENT AND A HIGH PROBAB'ILITY OF PLUME FALLOUT IN EACH ZONE, WILL A GENERAL (TOTAL) EVACUATION OF THE EPZ BE DECLARED? (NCRPS) Answer: Under such conditions, we would consider r.ecommending evacuation in a 360-degree pattern to distances consistent with our Protective Action Guides (PAGs). 6-3 IN THE EVENT OF A TOTAL EVACUATION VILL NOT ALL EXIT ROUTES BE USED? (NCDEM) C/1360745.

Answer: All exit routes leading to primary evacuation routes will be used. 6-4 UNDER THE CONDITIONS FOREGOING, HOW Ft"* POLICE WILL BE AVAILABLE PER

ROUTE, ASSUMING POLICE WILL MEASURE CONTAMINATION TO INSURE THAT NO PERSONS BYPASS DECONTAhlNATION?

(NCDEM) Answer: Approximately 200 State and county law enforcement personnel will immediately be available. Or.her law enforcement and National Guard personnel will be on alert. Under stagnant conditions there would be time to react and alert other law enforcement personnel. 6-5 IS THERE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO COMPEL REGISTRATION AND DECONTAMINATION? (NCDEM) Answer: Yes, we believe that such authority exists under the emergency powers of the governor or under state statutes. c l 6-6 RECEPTION CENTERS / SHELTERS ARE IN PART NOT LOCATED ON THE ROADS LEADING OUT OF THE EPZ, FOR EXAMPLE #1 AT UNCC. HOW CAN IT BE ASSURED THAT ALL VEHICLES LEAVING THE EPZ GO TO AN APPROPRIATE RECEPTION CENTER / SHELTER GIVEN THE FACT THERE WILL BE OTHER TRAFFIC. (NCDEM) Answer:

1) North Carolina Department of Transportation will place signs along primary evacuation routes; 2) eessages will be transmitted over the Emergency Broad. cast System requesting that all persons leaving the EPZ drive to their shelter and register; 3) law enforcement personnel will man preassigned
traffic, control points and evacuation routes leading to appropriate shelters.

~C/1360745 L

These and other. procedures will be implemented to inform and-to ' keep informed the general public and evacuees of conditions and recommended actions. 6-7' HOW WILL VEHICLE CONTAMINATION BE DEALT WITH? WILL CONTAMINATED VEHICLES BE PERMITTED TO LEAVE EPZ? WILL VEHICLES BE DECONTAMINATED AT SOME OR ALL OF THE RECEPTION CENTERS? (NCRPS) . Answer: In the event of minimal vehicle contamination (number and levels), the State and local plans provide for immediate decontamination at locations convenient to the traffic control points where people are exiting the evacuation' area. In the event of widespread vehicle contamination, vehicles. will be directed to nearby. holding areas. The-occupants will be provided transportation.'to appropriate shelters where necessary monitoring 'and -decontamination will be provided. In this latter case, vehicle decontamination would be dealt with-later and may include fabrication of special facilities ' allowing controltof runoff and collection of washwater. Decontamination of vehicles at shelters 'or reception centers is not anticipated;

although, such

- could. be contemplated in. the case of minor vehicle contamination. 6-8 - WHAT VEHICLE DECONTAMINATION EQUIPMENT -IS ' IN PLACE? 'AT. - WHAT : RATE 1CAN THIS EQUIPMENT PROCESS CARS? IF IT-IS A' COMMERCIAL CAR WASH, HOW WILL PAYMENT BE MADE? WILL THE CONTAMINATED EFFLUENT BE TREATED TO REMOVE THE . CONTAMINATION-OR WILL IT BE SEWERED? (NCRPS) C/1360745- -. - -.. - - -. -.

c _ f Answer: In the case of limited vehicular contamination (number and level), decontamination equipment exists at the normal place of use/ storage (e.g., fire station) and is deployed to decontamination sites as necessary. In this

case, there would be no provision for treatment to remove contamination.

In the case of more significant vehicular contamination, provision would be made for runoff control and collection of contaminated washwater. As decontamination of impounded vehicles would be a lower priority

matter, arrangements would be made for an orderly decontamination at a later time.

This could range from building the necessary facility and using existing or purchasing needed equipment to arranging for use of suitable existing carwash facilities. 4 If an existing commercial carwash 'were appropriate and were to be used, conventional State emergency purchasing and ~ contracting procedures would be followed.

Proper, timely approval and payment should not be a problem.

. Contention-7 . 3- .DO 'THE BROCHURE INSTRUCTIONS, P.9, ITEMS-2 AND 3, EFFECTUATE ADEQUATE SHELTER FOR THE TYPES OF RESIDENCE IN THE EPZ? (NCDEM) C/1360745.

Answer: This information is one of several protective response option.s for residents within the EPZ if there is no time to' evacuate. 7-4 WOULD ADEQUATE SHELTERING BE MORE NEARLY REALIZED BY PROVISIONS TO BE MADE IN ADVANCE SUCH AS DUST RESPIRATORS AND SOME MINIMAL SUPPLY OF CANNED FOODSTUFFS AND BEVERAGES? FOR A SEVERE RELEASE WHAT DOSAGE REDUCTION WOULD BE EXPECTED FROM THESE MEANS? (NCRPS) Answer: We do not view inplace sheltering with' advanced provision of respirators, canned foodstuffs and beverages to be an acceptable alternative to evacuation to managed shelters where respirators would not be necessary and reasonably unlimited, uncontaminated food and beverages would be available. An. evaluation of dose reduction in conjunction with in place sheltering is inappropriate, i. 7-5 HAS GOVERNMENT ANY AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE THE UPGRADING OF SHELTER CAPABILITY FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE EPZ? IF THERE IS SUCH AN UPGEADING, CAN THE ASSOCIATED EXPENSE BE PASSED ON TO THE APPLICANT? (NCDEM) Answer: We are not aware of any authority to require the upgrading of shelters. 7-9 FOR WHAT SPECTRUM OF RELEASES DO FEMA /NRC SEE SHELTERING AS BEING MORE BENEFICIAL THAN EVACUATING? (NCRPS) Answer: We see in place sheltering (when our Protective Action Guides would be exceeded) as more beneficial than evacuating only when the release is a brief " puff" and C/1360745 ~

i warning time, in the light of existing conditions (e.g., time of day and weather), is not sufficient time to implement-evacuation prior to the plume's arrival. Given that there is sufficient time to evacuate before arrival of a radioactive plume expected to exceed our Protection Action Guides (PAG), we will normally recommend evacuation. At the same

time, we would consider a recommendation for in place sheltering in the case of a known short " puff" release in affected areas when our evacuation PAG is not expected to be exceeded.

7-10 FOR WHAT PERIODS OF TIME MAY SHELTERING LAST? (NCRPS) Answer: We do not expect recommended in place sheltering to last for more than a few hours. If a release were to become longterm, - we would consider evacuation in the presence of the

plume, since the air turnover rate in most structbreswouldnegatemost benefits other than direct

~ shielding. ~7-11 WHAT ADVICE CAN BE GIVEN EPZ RESIDENTS IN REGARD TO CONTINUING SHELTERING IF THERE IS A COMMUNICATIONS BREAKDOWN. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE RESIDENT'S LINE POWERED RADIO OR TV BREAKS DOWN OR IS ' NOT SUPPLIED WITH POWER? (NCDEM) Answer: We - expect that EPZ residents would contact neighbors. Also we could note that the high incidence of battery powered radios could certainly be used to benefit here. C/1360745._

(NCRPS.) Answer: We have no comment to offer on this item as it relates to all required public information advisories; although, we could note that the high incidence of battery powered radios could certainly be used to benefit here. 7-12 HAS ANY ADVICE BEEN GIVEN AS TO THE USE OF PLASTIC SUITS TO LESSEN PARTICULATE CONTAMINATION EITHER IN-DWELLING, DWELLING-TO-CAR, IN-CAR? AS TO PARTICLE IMPERMEABLE HEADGEAR? (NCRPS) Answer: We have not heretofore given advice for the public use of plastic or other protective apparel in a home shelter or transportation setting. 7-13 ARE RESIDENTS GIVEN ANY SIMPLE MONITORING DEVICES OR WILL THEY BE ADVISED TO OBTAIN SAME? (NCRPS) Answer: While we would not discourage private acquisition of simple monitoring devices, we have not recommended that such [levices be provided to the public and have not recommended that residents obtain them. 7-14 WOULD FILM BADGES PLACED IN A DWELLING, TO BE WORN DURING POTENTIAL EXPOSURE, BE AN AID IN ASSESSING THE EXPOSURE OF PERSONS? ARE THEY NOW REQUIRED? WILL THEY BE PROVIDED? (NCRPS) An'swe r : While we would agree that film badges placed in a dwelling, if properly used and replaced at no more than 13-week intervals, could aid in assessing the exposure of persons; we do not believe that such data would provide tangible benefit to the user since all data would be "after the fact". In addition, such monitoring C/1360745 data could be subject to debilitating uncertainly as a result of incidental or deliberate conditions of use or misuse. To our knowledge, such devices are not now required and are not'now being provided. 7-17 WHAT ADVICE IS GIVEN TO THOSE HAVING ONLY AN OPEN VEHICLE? (NCRPS) Answer: No special advice has been given to persons having only an open vehicle. In 'this regard, we do not expect enclosed vehicles to provide much more protection than open vehicles; except for possible direct impingement effects and " fallout" in the case of precipitation. In the case of precipitation in the midst of an evacuation subsequent to plume

arrival, conventional rain gear could $fford some benefit.

Contention 8 8-3 SIMILARLY TO 8-2, THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE COORDINATION IN REGARD TO RADIO AND TV EMERGENCY ADVISORIES TO THE PUBLIC. IT APPEARS THAT PEOPLE IN THE EPZ COULD RECEIVE CONFLICTING INFORMATION. IS THERE AN ESTABLISHED MECHANISM TO AVOID THIS? (NCDEM) Answer: Yes, the North Carolina plan part 1, pages 53-56, Public Education and Information, addresses how accurate and timely information will be coordinated and disseminated C/1360745.

to the general public. Activation of, the Emergency Broade,ast System Procedures (Annex E) will also ensure that the general public will receive accurate and timely in formation. 8-4 TO WHOM HAVE COPIES OF THE YORK AND MECKLENBURG EMERGENCY PLANS BEEN DISTRIBUTED--BY AREAS, NOT NAMES? WHAT IS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF THESE COPIES FOR EACH COUNTY? HAVE THE PERSONS WHO HAVE RECEIVED THESE COPIES AND HAVE FUNCTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES IN AN EMERGENCY BEEN THOROUGHLY EXAMINED IN REGARD TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF CONTENT? IF SO, WHAT WERE THE RESULTS? (NCDEM) Answer: Mecklenburg County will respond. 8-5 THE YORK DISCUSSION OF DECONTAMINATION IS MORE DETAILED THAN THE MECKLENBURG. ARE SUCH DISCUSSIONS REQUIRED TO MEET A COMMON STANDARD? IF SO, WHAT IS IT? (NCDEM) Answer: No. See responses 3-15, 3-16, 6-7 and 6-8. 8-6 DOES ANY. RELEVANT EMERGENCY DOCUMENT DISCUSS LONG TERM DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION? IF SO, PLEASE PROVIDE IN RELEVANT PART. (NCDEM) Answer: Unknown. 8 DECONTAMINATION OF PROPERTY, LIVESTOCK, BUILDINGS. IS CALLED FOR IN THE MECKLENBURG PLAN AT PG. 38. IS ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED AS TO HOW? (NCDEM) Answer: 'A' general discussion of protective actions for the Ingestion Exposure Pathway is outlined in. the North Carolina Plan, Part 1, pages 64-69. C/1360745 --

8-12 DOES THE MECKLENBURG PLAN ERRONEOUSLY STATE THE DISTANCE ~FROM THE-CATAWBA PLANT TO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, P. 40? WHAT IS THE DISTANCE? (NCDEM) Answer: According to Mecklenburg County officials, if measured in road miles, about 27 miles would be correct. 8-13 CONSIDERING THE EXCLUSION, P. 5 OF PART 3, ITEM 4, WHERE IS THE EMO TEAM TO MONITOR AND WHAT IS IT TO MONITOR? (NCDEM) A_nswer: Mecklenburg County will respond. 8-14 HOW IS AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION TO " SUPPORT" MASS FEEDING, PART 3, N. C. PLAN, P. 6? (NCDEM) Answer: Mecklenburg County will respond. 8-15 DOES MECKLENBURG COUNTY POLICE " ASSIST" IN MONITORING, PART 3, P. 6, OR DO THEY MONITOR? (NCDEM) Answer: Mecklenburg County will respond. 8-16 WHAT hROVISION IS MADE FOR THE SUPPLIES THE' FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL USE IN DECONTAMINATING, PART 3, P. 6? (NCDEM) Answer: Mecklenburg County will respond. 8-17 THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICE OF MECKLENBURG COUNTY IS GIVEN SEVERAL RESPONSIBILITIES DURING AN EMERGENCY. HOW MANY ARE ON THE EMO STAFF?

Custon County The Caston County Department of Social Services supplements the local Red Cross Chapter in shelter operations resulting from natural or man-caused disasters. 3 - 12 In Gaston County, 60 DSS employees are designated to assist in shelter operations and represents a cross section of the agency. Fifteen DSS employees have cumpleted the Red Cross Shelter Management course. Additional training for DSS employees will be coordinated through the Caston County Red Cross Chapter. Specific job requirements have not been established. 3 - 13 Cach reception team in Canton County is comprised of 20 members each. Team members are not given staff assignmente beforehand, rather, staff assignments are made at or just.pript to shelter activation. Once operational, basic shelter areas are staffed; i.e., monitoring, registration, decontamination, medical services, crisis counseling recreation, food services, maintenance, communications and a shelter uanager. 3 - 14 Uithout having had an actual emergency involving radiation monitoring, it is assumed that, rather conservatively, approximately 100 persons per hour can be monitored and registered into the shelter. This figure may increase or decrease dependent upon the number of evacuees involved and the number of trained monitors available as well. 3 - 20 The Caston County Red Cross Chapter vill provide funds for shelter operations involving 3heltering within the county, whether public or private facilities are utilized. 8 - 30 The Caston County Department of Social Services employees 185 individuals. In a county declared disaster, 100 employees would be availrible to assist in the operation of evacuation shelters. The DSS employees coupled with Red Cross volunteers (110) should provide adequate manpower to assure tventy-faur hour staffing or shelters. 8. Registratiun procedures should not severely delay evacuation or cause overcrovding. It is conceivable.that at times there could be a bottleneck at the initial monitoring areas as well as registration tables, in such situations, additional monitors and registration personnel should eliminate the bottleneck and allow easy, orderly processing. 9. See Attachment - Registration Process 10. The registration of evacuees will be achieved using a combination Red Cross / DSS vorkers. Initially, a large contingent of registrars and monitors t vill be used, then menagement personnel vill be dispatched to other shelter areas as needed. 11. Shelters were opened in Caston County following an ice storm and a mock disastrer in recent years. Both operations vere termed successful.
