SUBJECT:
Offsite Emergency Preparedness at Diaulo Canyon Reference is made to your memorandum dated December 27, 1983,
Subject:
Emergency Preparedness for Diablo Canyon Full Power License. The following is a report on the current status of offsite emergency preparedness. provides an update and summary of the status of the corrective actions for the 12 deficiencies reported in my memoranda of November 17 and December 29, 1981. Corrective actions have been satisfactorily completed; therefore, there is now reasonable assurance that an adequate level of emergency preparedness exists in San Luis Obispo County. addresses the four items considered by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) to be requirements and the seven items considered to be recommendations. The current status of the four required items is detailed below. Action has been satisfactorily completed on item numbers 1, 2, and 4.
- 1. As indicated above, the 12 deficiencies have been satisfactorily completed.
- 2. Written agreements have been signed by the head of each State agency agreeing to perform their assigned functions.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) for county departments, local offices of State agencies, cities, fire districts, school districts, colleges and universities, and volunteer agencies have been developed. Attachment 3 is a list of the SOP's and the date each was prepared or last revised. They are contained in Part III of the San Luis Obispo County Plan and were furnished to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region V as an attachment to a January 19, 1984, letter from the Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
Note that within the 10-mile plume exposure emergency planning zone (EPZ), all but two city SOP's have been developed in final form.
- 3. The San Luis Obispo County Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan, dated August 1982, was approved by the County Board of Supervisors on September 27, 1982, for adoption by the Chairman of the County Board.
A copy of this plan was furnished to the NRC Division of Licensing as an attachment to an October 27, 1982, letter from the Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

The FEMA Region IX-Regional Assistance Committee (RAC) is currently reviewing the 6,000 page document that was submitted by the State.
In the State of California, under State law, local government has the prime responsibility for protection of the public. The State of California Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan states: "In areas surrounding nuclear power plants, for the direct (or plume) exposure pathway, local governments are responsible for implementing protective actions to protect their populations from exposure. State and Federal agencies provide support; Office of Emergency Services (OES) will coordinate state mutual aid as well as requesting and coordinating Federal aid."
While FEMA considers that the revised State of California plan would be adequate for the State to utilize in the event it should be needed, we have not completed our review of the entire document. This is scheduled for completion by the middle of May 1984. As soon as possible thereafter, we will provide additional comments on the State plan.
- 4. NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, does not require that monitor receivers be
' installed in schools, hospitals, and other institutions if other means exist Jfor warning the public in these areas.
In San Luis Obispo County, 45 sirens provide adequate coverage in the 10-mile EPZ.- There are an additional 49 sirens in the State's expanded 20-mile plume exposure EPZ. During the most recent alert-and notification test conducted on August 13, 1983, 92 of the 94 sirens functioned properly when tested. Further, the cause of the malfunction of the two has been determined and corrective action taken.
The county has, however, installed tone-alert receivers in all schools, hospitals, and institutions for additional warning capability.
These
~
tone-alert' receivers, activated by the county sheriff's dispatch office,
~
are tested twice monthly.
As to the.seven items considered by the ASLB to be recommendations, the status of actions are contained.in Part B of Attachment 2.. In addition, updates of the~following items should be.noted:
- 1. The county has now obtained-some 75 letters of agreement and this effort
.is essentially complete.
- 2. During the last year, the reliability of the county radio micro-wave and VHF systems'has been very good.
- 5. As indicated above, a revised State plan has been received by FEMA Region IX and is currently.being reviewed by the FEMA Region IX RAC.
This review will assure that the State plan does contain recovery and reentry planning
. detail based on existing State law regarding levels of contamination.
7.'A second distribution of the public information brochure for Diablo Canyon was't0 pleted during October 1983.
y-1,4
' ' Attachment 4, including the October 20, 1982 exercise report, is furnished for your information and files.
As indicated in Attachment 5, copies of the FEMA report - for the October 19,1983, exercise were furnished to the State of California on February 9, 1984.
FEMA Region IX met with representatives from the State and local governments on March-8,1984, for discussion of all corrective actions required.- The State was requested to further respond in writing in early i
April 1984.
As soon as the State's response is received, it will be analyzed and the results sent to you.
Notwithstanding the deficiencies identified in Attachments 4 and 5, an adequate level of emergency preparedness now exists in San Luis Obispo County to assure the protection of the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency.

Presidio of San Francisco, CA 94129 APR 8 1983 MEMORANDUM FOR: DAVE MCLOUGHLIN, DEPUTY ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR STATE, AND LOCAL GRAMS AND SUPPORT FROM:
R0 L. VICKERS, REGIONAL DIRECTOR FEMA REGION IX
SUBJECT:
FEMA REGION IX EVALUATION AND STATUS REPORT ON STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AROUND THE DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR POWER PLANT This memorandum completes the interim finding on this subject sent to The Associate Director, State and Local Programs Support Directorate on November 2,1981.
The necessary corrective actions pointed out in Part IV of that document have been accomplished to the satisfaction of FEMA Region IX and the county plan was approved by the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors on September 27, 1982 and submitted to the State for formal review.
The status of each of the corrective actions is summarized below and keyed to the format of Part IV of the interim finding.
E. 1.
Region IX has reviewed the technical specifications for design and maintenance of the warning system and found them to be acceptable. The Utility will provide regular submissions to FEMA of maintenance and testing logs that demonstrate the continuance of the operating reliability standards that now exist in the offsite warning system.
This includes both the warning devices and the entire radio system that activates them.
If the system relia-bility falls below 95%, FEMA will notify NRC and recommend corrective measures as stated in FEMA Guidance Memorandum i 18.
2.
Pagers have been provided to key County response personnel for alerting.
3.
A reliable communications link consisting of both a two-way radio capability and a dedicated te'lephone line has now been established between the EOC and the two EBS radio stations designated in the plan.
The two-way radio equipment was 3
i installed during November 1982 and the associated staff training will be completed by the end of April, 1983. An agreement between the two radio stations and the County re-j garding dissemination of emergency instructions to the public j
exists in the EBS Operational Area Plan for San Luis Obispo.
DAVE MCLOUGHLIN Page Two 4.
The public warning system has been installed, tested and upgraded as a result of that testing. The warning system
~
is considered adequate on a preliminary approval basis pending confirmation by the FEMA statistical sample of population in the plume exposure zone called for by NUREG 0654.
FEMA is currently developing a statistical sampling method which will be applied uniformly across the country.
F.
The County radiological monitor teams have been supplied with radios to establish a direct link to the County Unified Dose Assessment Center.
Eleven handitalkies and ten converta*-
coms have been provided to allow them to operate both in and out of their vehicles.
G.
The Emergency Response Plan Booklet for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant was distributed to residences and businesses in the plume exposure zone during October of 1982. Siren information signs have been posted in recreation areas in the plume exposure zone to address the transient population.
H. 1.
Additional telephone capability was provided in the E0C and was used satisfactorily in the October 20, 1982 exercise.
2.
The current EOC/ EOF now has emergency lighting equipment.
The communications equipment is currently powered from the sheriff's office and has emergency power.
The new EOC/ EOF will have an emergency generator to provide a backup power source for the entire facility.
3.
A ringdown telephone system to the cities in the plume exposure zone was installed in the EOC and used during the October 20, 1982 exercise.
K.
Emergency worker kits containing high and low range dosimeters with exposure cards, a permanent record device, Potassium Iodide Tablets and an emergency worker standard operating procedure have been prepared and distributed within the County.
N.
The annual drill and training schedule for the County has been established and the training activities are taking place.
O.
The required radiological emergency response training is being provided to both the radiological monitors and emergency workers.
_c.
DAVE MCLOUGHLIN Page Three As a result of the satisfactory completion of these corrective actions the interim finding should be updated to show that we now believe, with reasonable assurance, that an adequate level of emergency preparedness exists in San Luis Obispo County.

Federal Emergency Management Agency L
Region IX Building 105 Presidio of San Francisco, CA 94129 APR 141983 NEMORANDUM FOR: Richard W. Krimm, Assistant Associate Director State and Local Prog and Support FROM:
Robe kers, Regional Director X
SUBJECT:
Response to the Brian Grimes Memorandum to You Dated October 26, 1982 Regarding the Initial Decision on a Full Power License for Diablo Canyon The response date for the memorandum was changed from November,1982 to April,1983 'through negotiations with NRC staff due to the repeated postponements of hearings by the Licensing Board on this subject. The memo requested FEMA to address four items considered by the board to be requirements prior to issuance of a full power license and seven items considered to be recommendations. This response follows the same format provided in the Brian Grimes memo.
A.
Requirements Prior to Issuance of a Full Power License 1.
The 12. deficiencies noted by FEMA in the November 2,1981 t
l Interim Finding have been corrected and a memorandum dated April 8,1983 was sent to Dave McLoughlin from FEMA Region II to close out that finding.
The State of Calif rnia Office of Emergency Services has 2.
9
. on file memoranda of agreement signed by the head of each state agency agreeing to perform their assigned functions.
In addition, each of these. state jurisdictions have ' signed their standard operating procedures which are part of the local Emergency Response Plan.
The county emergency plan contains.22 standard operating i
procedures (SOPS) that involve the federal plume exposure Thea SOPS include county departments, state agencies, sone.
i fire districts, a school district and a city. Only one of these SOPS has not been signed at this point in time.
Al-though the SOP for the county superintendent of schools is I..
signed, the San Luis Coastal Unified School District SOP has been under review by a committee that has met once a week since October of 1982. They have completed their f
review and have prepared a number of reconunendations for the District School Board.
Since there continues to be i
disagreement on several issues it may take the District
.. w
- {.
t Richard W. Krium Page Two School Board some time to reach final decisions on these recommendations and sign off on that SOP.
3.
In the State of California, the state plan gives local government the prime responsibility for protection of the public. Page 24 of the State of California Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan of July, 1975, re-vised March, 1981, states "In areas surrounding nuclear power plants, for the direct (or plume) exposure pathway, local governments are responsible for implementing pro-tective actions to protect their populations from ex-posure. State and federal agencies provide support; OES will coordinate state mutual aid as well as requesting and coordinating federal aid".
The San Luis Obispo County Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan was approved by the County Board of Super-visors on September 27, 1982 and submitted to the State' Office of Emergency Services. Supporting plans have been developed by the state but were not submitted in July of 1982 as originally anticipated. A copy of the state plan is now scheduled to be provided to FEMA in May of 1983.
We are not able to estimate when the county and state plans will be formally submitted under the FEMA Proposed Rule 44 CFR Part 350.
4.
NUREG 0654/ FEMA REP-1 does not require that monitor re-ceivers be installed in schools, hospitals and other in-stitutions if other means exist for warning the public in these areas..In San Luis Obispo County there is adequate siren coverage in the 10 mile EPZ, however, the county has installed tone-alert receivers in all schools, hospitals and institutions for additional warning capa-bilities. These tone-alert receivers are activated by the county sheriff's office.
B.
Recommendations 1.
The county estimates that they are now 75% complete in obtaining letters of agreement to secure various public and private resources. Letters are on file at the county 1
for resources including, service stations, towing companies, bus companies, congregate care facilities etc.
2.
The county has established an adequate technical staff to maintain the system and has embarked on a preventive main-tenance program on the radio micro-wave system. FEMA RIX is requiring a maintenance reporting system which will allow
-,.i..s
/
~
'g Mr. Richard W. Krimm Page.Three FEMA RIX staff to closely monitor the reliability of the county radio micro-wave and VHF systems.
If system fail-ures become apparent, FEMA RIX will require the county to take appropriate actions to remedy the problem.
3.
The requirement for an integrated emergency medical system is appropriate.
The county did not receive funds for de-veloping a system under the EMS 3 Act, but they have devel-oped a plan that appears to be along the same lines as in-tended by the EMSS Act. The medical emergency response for an incident at Diablo Canyon has been integrated with the overall county medical response plan.
4.
The State Radiological Health Bureau has developed a list of hospitals and medical facilities that indicate special radiological capabilities in accord with the intent of criteria L (3) of NUREG 0654.
5.
A copy of the state plan has not yet been provided to FEMA, see Item A.3. above.
Consultation with State Office of Emergency Service Planners indicates that the state plan contains recovery and re-entry planning detail based on existing state law regarding levels of contamination.
6.
The problem of role conflict is addressed as part of the emergency worker training course provided by the State Office of Emergency Services.
7, The Emergency Response Plan Booklet for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant was distributed to residential and business addresses in the plume exposure zone during October,1982; a second general distribution is scheduled for October,1983.
