1 TESTIMONY OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA 2 (DAYNE BROWN AND J.T. PUGH, III) ON 3 EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 6 4 Background Information on Mr. Brown 5 Q. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND BUSINESS ADDRESS.
6 A. My name is Dayne Brown, and I am Chief of the North 7 Carolina Radiation Protection Section, Division of 8 Facility Services, 1330 S t. Mary's Street, Raleigh, 9 North Carolina, 27605.
10 Q. PLEASE SUMMARIZE YOUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND AND 11 RELEVANT EMPLOYMENT HISTORY AND EXPERIENCE.
12 A. I have attached a Statement of Qualifications to this 13 testimony, marked a't Attachment A. (DB) 14 Q. MR. BROWN, DO YOU HAVE ANY BACKGROUND EXPERIENCE IN 15 EMERGENCY PLANNING 7 16 A. Yes, I completed a couple of short training courses 17 sponsored by the Federal Emergency Mangement Agency 18 on emergency planning and accident response. I have 19 been affiliated with the technical planning function 20 for response to radiological emergencies in North 21 Carolina since 1967. I have also been affiliated 22 with the Southern Emergency Response Council and 23 participated in the development of their mutual 24 assistance plan. (DB) 25 Q. HAVE YOU HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH RADIOLOGICAL
-26 DECONTAMINATION?
l l
1 A. Yes, I have been involved with U.S. Public Health 2 Service training programs in decontamination. I also 3 served as health physicist at the NASA personnel
! 4 facility in Cleveland, Ohio where my responsibilities 5 included decontamination of personnel and facilities 6 in conjunction with small nuclear reactors and 7 cyclotron facilities. I have also evaluated 8 decontamination procedures for radioactive material 9 facilities licensed by my section and for hospitals 10 in their own emergency planning (DB) 11 Q. PLEASE SUMMARIZE YOUR OCCUPATIONAL DUTIES.
12 A. I am responsible for the management of the State's 13 comprehensive radiation control program. This 14 program consists of licensing, inspection, and
- 15 enforcement for both specific license f acilities and 16 general license facilities. Overall, there are 600-17 700 discrete facilities subject to such licensing, 18 inspection and enforcement. I am also responsib3e 19 for regulation, inspection and enforcement of x-ray 20 equipment at more than 4,000 facilities. My office 21 is also responsible for the Environmental Radiation
- 22 Monitoring and Surveillance program which focuses on 23 the spectrum of radiation sources ranging from 24 .;atural phenomena, weapons testing, power plants, and 25 privately licensed waste burial sites. Since 1967, I
. ,- ,.-r _ , , , _ . . , . _ --
1 have participated in the planning within North 2 Carolina for response to any radiological incident or 4
3 accident. (DB) 4 EPC 6 Testimony 5 Q. IS THERE INFORMATION IN THE N.C. STATE PLAN WHICH 6 ADDRESSES THIS CONTENTION?
7 A. Yes, Part 1,Section IV.E of the N.C. State Plan.
8 (JTP, DB) 9 Q. IF EPZ RESIDENTS ARE ASKED TO EVACUATE, WHAT IF ANY 10 CONTROLS WILL BE INSTITUTED TO PROVIDE FOR SHELTERING 11 AND REGISTRATION OF EVACUEES?
12 A. Evacuation routes have preplanned traffic control 13 points to guide the evacuees to available shelters.
14 Shelter traffic is designed to channel all incoming 15 evacuees through registration. (DB, JTP) 16 Q. WHAT EFFORTS ARE BEING MADE'TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS 17 POSSIBLE TO GO TO AND REGISTER AT A SHELTER?
i 18 A. Evacuation routes have preplanned traffic control 19 points to guide the evacuees to available shelters.
i 20 Personnel at the check points monitor the vehicles 21 and passengers and advise the people to go to a 22 shelter for registration and further monitoring for.
23 radiological contamination. The people in the .EPZ 24 are urged by Duke Power's Brochure, as well as radio I l
25 and TV broadcasts, to proceed to a shelter for 26 registration and necessary monitoring checks for I .
l l ;
1 1 radioactive contamination. The sheriff's department, l
2 volunteer fire departments, and local rescue squads j 3 canvas the EPZ, instructing the people on the need i
4 for registering at the shelter and complying with all 5 shelter procedures. (DB, JTP) 6 Thus, while registration at a shelter is not 7 mandatory, unless the governor so decides, we are 8 reasonably assured, based on the above efforts and 9 our experience that people will follow directions in 10 an emergency , that contaminated persons will go to a 11 shelter to get decontaminated. (JTP, DB) 12 Q. WHAT MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO CONTACT AND MONITOR 13 INDIVIDUALS WHOSE VEHICLES, CLOTHING, AND.OTHER i
14 POSSESSIONS MAY HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED?
15 A. All measures within reason will be taken at traffic 16 check points to persuade contaminated individuals to r
17 have themselves decontaminated as well as their
- 18 private vehicle. No individual should be. missed with 19 EBS broadcast messages, canvassing by.the sheriff's i
20 department, volunteer fire departments, local rescue 21 squads, and instructions received at traffic control 22 points. (DB, JTP) l l
23 Q. WILL A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF PERSONS AND SUFFICIENT. !
24 INSTRUMENTATION BE AVAILABLE TO SCREEN POTENTIALLY
. 25 CONTAMINATED INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR POSSESSIONS?

-i I-
. . . - - . . , . - . , . , , - . . . - - , , . , , ..n..
l 1 A. Yes. A sufficient number of persons and sufficient 2 instrumentation will be available to screen 3 potentially contaminated individuals and their 4 possessions in Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties. The 5 following is a list of each county's resources in 6 this area: (JTP) 7 Gaston County 8 200 each -- trained monitors 9 50 each -- CDV-700 (low-range survey meters) 10 50 each -- CDV-715 (high-range survey meters) 11 700 each -- CDV-742 (high-range dosimeters)
) 12 66 each -- CDV-750 (dosimeter chargers) 13 Mecklenburg County 14 250 each -- trained monitors 15 170 each -- CDV-700 (low-range survey meters) 16 481 each -- CDV-715 (high-range survey meters)
- 17 2,422 ea ch -- CDV-74 2 (high-range dosimeters) 18 457 each -- CDV-750 (dosimeter chargers) 19 36 each -- CDV-138 (low-range dosimeters) 20 14 each -- CDV-717 (remote survey meters for l 21 fallout shelters) (JTP) 22 Q. TO WHAT EXTENT MAY TRAINING OR ORIENTATION BE 23 PROVIDED TO AVAILABLE PERSONNEL AS THE NEED ARISES?
24 A. The Division of Emergency Management has an on-going 25 program to train radiological monitor instructors and 26 they cre responsible for training monitors within 27 their counties. Instructor training requires l
28 completion of the 33-hour Basic Radiation Emergency 29 Preparedness course (BREP) plus an additional 4-hour 30 instructor module. Designated county personnel are 31 then presented at least the first two modules (16
l 1 hours) of the BREP course for minimum qualification 2 as a Radiological Monitor. Annual refresher training 3 and exercises are conducted as necessary. The 4 training is accomplished before the need arises. A 5 total of 200 trained radiological monitors are 6 available in Gaston County with 250 trained 7 radiological monitors available within Mecklenburg 8 County. (DB, JTP) 9 Q. DO YOU VISUALIZE THAT THE PROCEDURES WHICH YOU HAVE
, 10 DESCRIBED FOR SCREENING INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR 11 POSSESSIONS FOR CONTAMINATION WILL HAVE AN ADVERSE 12 EFFECT ON TRAFFIC FLOW AND HENCE EVACUATION TIMES?
13 IF SO, PLEASE EXPLAIN.
- 14 A. No, we do-not anticipate that our procedures will 15 have an adverse effect. (DB, JTP) 16 Q. IF NOT, PLEASE EXPLAIN.
17 A. Our policy is that contaminated vehicles will be 18 decontaminated only when the area affected is small 19 and judged to contain few contaminated vehicles.
20 Where a larger area is affected and when 21 decontamination would hinder movement out of the r 22 threatened areas, vehicles will be impounded and 23 evacuees bussed to shelters. It is believed that 24 this procedure of parking contaminated vehicles in
i 1 open areas and busing individuals to shelters will 2 facilitate a continuous flow of traffic and meet our 3 goal of an orderly and safe evacuation. (DB, JTP) 1 I

1 TESTIMONY OF DUKE POWER COMPANY 2 (R. MICHAEL GLOVER) ON EMERGENCY 3 PLANNING CONTENTION 6 4 Q. CONTENTION 6 ALLEGES THAT THE EMERGENCY PLANS DO NOT 5 CONTAIN ADEQUATE PROVISIONS FOR PREVENTING 6 CONTAMINATED PERSONS FROM ENTERING NON-CONTAMINATED 7 AREAS, SUCH AS SHELTERS. WHAT PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN 8 MADE TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM 7 WILL REGISTRATION AT 9 SHELTERS BE MANDATORY FOR EVACUEES?
10 A. From an emergency planning standpoint, Duke Power 11 Company, North Carolina, South Carolina, York County, 12 Mecklenburg County and Gaston County will be making 13 their best efforts to ensure that, if persons in the 14 EPZ are contaminated from a release, they will go to 15 shelters for decontamination services. Registration 16 and monitoring at the shelters is strongly encouraged 17 in the brochure (see p. 4, "if instructed, leave the j 18 area and check in at a shelter"; p. 10, " drive to 19 your shelter and register. You may stay at the 20 shelter. Or after you register at the shelter you 21 may choose to stay with friends or relatives living 22 at least 15 miles from the plant . . . "; p. 10, 23 " shelters would be provided with facilities for 24 decontamination of evacuees and their vehicles and 25 personal items").
26 State and county planners have indicated to me i
27 that people cannot be forced to report to shelters.
28 But, by including these provisions in the brochure v , , --eg. ggy y ww-eev------e- J q e -+w - +
1 and by running EBS messages making people aware that 2 if they live in a contaminated area and evacuated 3 without going to a shelter they should go to a l l
4 4 shelter immediately and be checked for radioactive '
5 contamination, their interests are served. Also, if 6 their physical condition or circumstances did not 7 permit going immediately to a shelter, people could 8 be asked to shower at home, launder their clothes, 9 and bag the clothes for when they are able to go to 10 the shelter. We are providing " reasonable assurance" 11 that adequate measures are being taken from a 12 planning standpoint. A recommendation that pre-13 established messages to this effect be included in
- 14 the State / County plans has been forwarded to both 15 states in a January 23, 1984 letter to each State 16 Director. It is my understanding that.each state l 17 intends to include this information in pre-18 established messages. The effect on evacuation time 19 and traffic flows is in my opinion minimal at most in 20 that the study assumes everyone that is a willing 21 eva cuee goes to the shelter.
1 TESTIMONY OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA 2 (W.M. MCSWAIN) ON 3 EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 6 4 EPC 6 Testimony 5 Q. WITH REGARD TO CONTENTION 6, IS INFORMATION CONTAINED 6 IN THE S.C. STATE PLAN WHICH ADDRESSES THIS MATTER?
7 A. Yes, Part IV.B.5 of the S.C. Site Specific Plan and 8 Part IV.C.6 of SCORERP.
9 Q. WHAT STEPS WILL BE TAKEN BY THE STATE OF SOUTH l 10 CAROLINA TO PREVENT CONTAMINATED PERSONS FROM 11 ENTERING NONCONTAMINATED ZONES?
12 A. I am sure that a state of emergency will be declared 13 by the government in the affected area. EBS 14 announcements will be broadcast over all media.
, 15 Based upon the continuing process of public education 16 through the brochure and the EBS announcement, the 17 affected people would go to the shelters. (WM) 18 Q. I5 THAT STATEMENT BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE THAT l
19 DCOPLE IN AN EMERGENCY WILL DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD?
20 A. Yes. (WM) 21 Q. IS REGISTRATION MANDATORY?
22 .A. No, but people are strongly encouraged in the 23 brochure to register, and this will be reinforced 24 through EBS messages. (WM) 25 Q. WHAT EFFORTS ARE BEING MADE TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS 26 POSSIBLE TO REGISTER AT A SHELTER?
l l

. . - - . .._-.e -. -
1 A. We are making ef forts through EBS announcements, 2 brochures, public meetings, the media, and through 3 the education process that is ongoing and will be 4 expanding. (WM) 5 O. WHAT MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO DECONTAMINATE VEHICLES 6 AND INDIVIDUALS AT THE SHELTER?
7 A. Once the evacuees arrive at the shelters, first they 8 will be monitored. If they are found to be 9 contaminated they will be instructed to take showers, 10 they will receive fresh clothes, and if their 11 vehicles are contaminated also, they will be sent to 12 a washdown area to be washed down. (WM) 13 Q. WILL A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF PERSONS AND 14 INSTRUMENTATION BE AVAILABLE TO SCREEN POTENTIALLY 15 CONTAMINATED INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR POSSESSIONS?
- 16 A. Yes. Based upon what we have done in previous 17 exercises we have available resources that we can 18 draw upon in adjacent counties as well as the ones 19 that are located in the host counties where the 20 sheltering will take place. The following is a list 21 of emergency equipment and supplies: (WM) 22 LIST OF EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES l

6 A. Yes. The radiological defense officer supervises the 7 training, which is held periodically. As a matter of
, 8 fact, during the second week of April we held a 9 session out on the coast. (WM) 10 Q. HOW MANY PRIMARY SHELTERS ARE THERE IN THE SOUTH 11 CAROLINA STATE PLAN?
12 A. Thirty-eight. (WM) 13 Q. DO YOU HAVE THIRTY-EIGHT INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN MONITOR 14 PEOPLE FOR CONTAMINATION?
15 A. More than that. For example, we have one hundred in 16 Cherokee County alone. (WM) 17 Q. DO YOU FEEL THAT THE DECONTAMINATION PROCEDUREF THAT
, 18 YOU JUST DESCRIBED WILL IMPEDE THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC 19 AND ADVERSELY AFFECT EVACUATION?
20 A. No. It is going take some management, but we believe 21 it will not impede the evacuation. (WM) 22 Q. DOES YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH ANY OF THE EMERGENCY DRILLS l
l 23 SUPPORT YOUR ANSWER?
l l 24 A. I have worked at one shelter during the previous 25 exercise and it went very smoothly. That was an 26 exercise of course, but the procedures were followed
l l 1 by the radiological monitors. I believe that on that 2 particular exercise they monitored roughly seventy- )
3 five evacuees in the proper amount of time. (WM) 4 Q. DID THAT FORM A BOTTLENECK?
5 A. No. They were out of the weather and were monitored 6 and then registered. (WM) i

1 TESTIMONY OF GASTON COUNTY 2 (BOB E. PHILLIPS) ON 3 EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 6 4 Q. DOES THE GASTON COUNTT PLAN PROVIDE INFORMATION 5 REGARDING THIS CONTENTION 7 6 A. Yes, Part 2, Section IV.E of the N.C. State Plan.
7 Q. EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 6 FOCUSES ON WHETHER 8 THERE ARE ADEQUATE PROVISIONS IN THE EMERGENCY PLANS 9 FOR PREVENTING CONTAMINATED PERSONS FROM ENTERING 10 NON-CONTAMINATED AREAS, SUCH AS SHELTERS. WHAT 11 EFFORTS ARE BEING MADE TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS 12 POSSIBLE TO GO TO A SHELTER AND TO REGISTER THERE 13 SHOULD THE NEED ARISE?
14 A. Duke Power Company's brochure instructs people in the 15 EPZ to go to the nearest shelter and register there 16 if they have been told to evacuate. We will use 17 personnel monitoring at the shelters and at the 18 decontamination points outside the EPZ. There has 19 also been information on this in the local newspaper.
20 I would also direct people to go to the shelters on 21 the EBS radio channel. Based upon my experience, 22 people will do as instructed in an emergency as long 23 as the instructions are so that they can understand
, 24 them.
l
.-e 1 Q. WILL MONITORING FOR CONTAMINATION BE DONE AT SHELTERS 2 AND WILL A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF PERSONS AND 3 SUFFICIENT INSTRUMENTATION BE AVAILABLE FOR 4 RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING OF POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED 5 INDIVIDUALS AS THEY ENTER A SHELTER?
6 A. Yes. Our Gastonia Fire Department and also our 7 volunteer fire departments would provide personnel 8 for decontamination at the shelter sites. We will 9 have a minimum of 12 persons at each shelter to 10 monitor. We also have the capability of increasing 11 this to 24 persons at each shelter. There are three 12 sets of radiological monitoring instuments stored at 13 each school shelter.
14 O. HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL BEEN TRAINED IN THE 15 USE OF THOSE MONITORINC DEVICES?
16 A. They have been trained in the use of them and they 17 also have the instruments on their vehicles at all 18 times.
19 0 WILL ADDITIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMERGENCY 20 PERSONNEL BE AVAILABLE?
21 A. Yes. We have scheduled two Basic Radiation Emergency 22 Preparedness classes per year for firemen, policemen, 23 and rescue personnel. In addition, the Red Cross 24 teaches courses on Shelter Management. Department of 25 Social Services people will be going to these.
t
1 Q. DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT THE PROCEDURES THAT YOU HAVE I
2 DESCRIBED FOR SCREENING INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR 3 POSSESSIONS FOR CONTAMINATION WILL HAVE AN ADVERSE 4 EFFECT ON TRAFFIC FLOW AND EVACUATION TIME?
5 A. No.
6 Q. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY NOT.
7 A. If we find that a car is conta;.inated, we will park 8 the car and load the oeople onto buses to take them 9 to a shelter. The buses will then have to be 10 dispatched to the monitoring point in order to pick 11 th em up .
, 12 Q. WOULD REGISTRATION AT A GASTON COUNTY SHELTER BE j 13 MANDATORY?
14 A. If people show up at a shelter, it is mandatory that 15 they register but I cannot make people go to the 16 shelters.

- t 4 Q. DOES THE MECKLENBURG COUNTY PLAN PROVIDE ANY {
'5 INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO THIS CONTENTION?
6 A. Yes, Part 3,Section IV.E of the N.C. State Plan.
i 7 Q. EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 6 ASSERTS THAT ADEQUATE
, 8 PROVISIONS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE TO KEEF CONTAMINATED 9 PERSONS FROM ENTERING AN UNCONTAMNATED AREA. HAVE 10 ARRANGEMENTS BEEN MADE TO KEEP CONTAMINATED PERSONS 11 FROM ENTERING SHELTERS?
12 A. If you are talking about a person who is contaminated 13 leaving an EPZ, transferrine to a shelter location j 14 and entering the shelter, we would establish a
] 15 shelter whereby that person would not be allowed 16 inside the clean area of the facility. We would not I
17 expose the person to the elements. Once inside, 1 18 there would be a procedure to monitor the person, to
, 19 provide the person with a pla:= to go so that they 20 would not be associated with the general population
] 21 of the shelter and not carry the contaminati:n. All
- 22 the shelter. facilities have more than adequate shower i
- 23 facilities. We would utilize those shower facilities t 24 for decontamination.
25 Q. WHAT EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO GET PEOPLE TO GO TO A f
26 SHELTER AND REGISTER IF THEY ARE TOLD .TO EVACUATE?
l
.~
, l 1
i 1 A. The educational efforts we have undertaken, such as l l
2 talks to civic organizations. Specific s information, l 3 as I see -it, would be coming from the Emergency 4 " Operation Center via the Emergency Broadcasting 5 System in which we provide information and directions 6 for people to report to a shelter.
7 'h0 DO YOU ANTICIPAhE THAT THE REGISTRATION OF POTENTIAL
_8, EVACUEES WILL POSE ANY PRCBLEMS.0F OVERCROWDING OR 9 DELAY OF THE EVACUATION? %.
10 A. With the potential resources available to us, I don't 11- foresee any problem.
If there is a delay, I would
_/
12 consider it a-relatively minor or short one.
13 Q. WOULD REGISTRATION AT THE MECKLENBURG COUNTY SHELTER 14* BE MANDATORY? ,
15' A. If they showed up'at the shelter, we would make every 16 _
effort that we could to make sure that those people 17 were registered so that we could identify them.
18 However, from the standpoint of actually forcino s
19 'someone to register, I do not think that we would go
. 20 to that extent.
I -
, 21 0 DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT THE PROCEDURES FOR SCREENING 22 INDIVIDNALS AND THEIR POSSESSIONS FOR CONTAMINATION 23 WILL HAVE AN ADVERSE NFFECT ON TRAFFIC FLOW AND 24 EVACUATION TIME?

1 A. No. The screening location is at the entrance to the 2 shelters, which are well outside the 10 mile EPZ, so 3 that any delay in screening process will not hamper 4 evacuation from the EPZ. In addition, people would 5 not be left out in the elements in a line waiting to 6 be registered. They would all be under cover.

, 5 THIS CONTENTION?
6 A. Yes, Annex 0 of the York County Emergency Operations 7 Plan.
l 8 Q. THE INTERVENORS CONTEND IN EMERGENCY PLANNING
! 9 CONTENTION 6 THAT THE EMERGENCY PLANS DO NOT MAKE 10 ADEQUATE PROVISIONS FOR PREVENTING THE ENTRANCE OF 11 CONTAMINATED INDIVIDUALS INTO UNCONTAMINATED AREAS, 12 SUCH AS SHELTERS. ARE YOU AWARE OF ANYTHING THAT IS 13 BEING DONE TO DEAL WITH THIS MATTER 7 14 A. Yes. Specifically, Duke Power has covered that in 15 some detail in the brochure by reminding all 16 residents or readers of the material to be sure to go 17 to the shelters prior to going anywhere else for the I
18 purpose of monitoring and decontamination. That 19 would be on the front end as the event took place.
20 Later, as part of our overall attempts to use the EBS l
21 system to our advantage, we would be continually 22 putting in message form to'anyone who did not go to a 23 decontamination site or monitoring site, to do just 24 that if they have any idea that they may have been in 25 any area that they may have received even the 25 slightest amount of contamination. ; Based upon my l
27 experience, people will do as instructed in an 28 emergency.
