SUBJECT:

FEDERAL ASSISTANCE WITH ERGENCY PLANNING

.In a December 20 New Ycrk Times article, Governor Cuomo repor.tedly said, " state might participate if U.S. provides manpower."

Later.in the article the Governor reportedly stated that "his demand for Federal support for emergency planning applied to all nuclear power plants, not just Shoreham."

i I would like your reactions to this article with specific reference to items having generic significance.

In pa'rticular and apart from the Shoreham proceeding, I would like to know:

What already existing Federal programs would, be responsive to Governor Cuomo's suggestions (e.g. DOE NEST and NRC regional response teams)?

What other items could be provided by' NRC (e.g.,

training)?

4 What agencies might be appropriate for providing items l

that NRC cannot?

What items simply would not be appropriate for the Federal Government to provide?

What information, if any, do we have on other agency views regarding Governor Cuomo's statements?

i i

Should any of this be proper for the Federal Government to provide, what would be the next steps?

l Please send me a note or see me on this by January 10.

^

Albany, New York 12224 W% \\MS 93'!

Dear Governor Cuomo:

We recognize that for some time you have been concerned about the appropriate response of Federal agencies in a nuclear power plant accident. We are N '

that last spring you made several proposals to members of Congress which you believed would provide a more appropriate role for the Federal government in a nuclear reactor emergency. We believe that some aspects of your proposals are currently planned for in a Federal radiological response, although they may not be well advertised.

There are other aspects of your proposal that we are less comfortable with, but we recognize the concerns which prompted all of your proposals.

I We would like first to describe those aspects of your proposals t-we believe are currently addressed in Federal plans for radiological emergency response.

Under these Federal plans there are extensive resources which would be available to support the State and local authorities in response to any major radiological l

emergency.

i fSp)b

+,

FEMA has the responsibility for assuring that the Federal response is coordinated under an " umbrella" response plan, i.e., a plan which provides the outline of Federal responsibilities, notifications, deployment of personnel to the site',

functions of various facilities, etc. The current plan is the Master Plan' (Enclosure 1) which is expected to be superseded in 1984 by the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP).

The FRERP is an expansion of the Master Plan to include guidance for a Federal response to all types of civil radiological emergencies, including nuclear weapons and transportation accidents.

i Under both of these plans, significant Federal resources have been committed to provide assistance to support State and local authorities.

As you are aware, the Federal government has a broad range of resources.

The Federal government is prepared, upois State request, to bring a significant portion of these resources to bear to help protect the public health and safety.

Some of the major functions which the Federal government is ready to provide to the State i

and local authorities are:

I

.I Radiological Monitoring. Assistance - The Department of Energy (DOE) has a mandate to provide radiological assistance to State and local authorities to monitor the offsite effects and evaluate the radiological impacts.

i This is done by providing radiological assistance teams from the National laborator. ins plus the specialized DOE response teams such as the Nuclear Emergency Search Team (NEST) and the Aerial Measurements System (AMS).

The Environmental Protective Agency (EPA) and other Federal agencies will also provide similar assistance.

These resources include field radiological survey teams,, sample collectors, analytical capability, serial surveillance, l

s

communications equipment, and means for consolidating, collating, and distributing the data and evaluations to offsite authorities and the other Federal agencies.

At THE Three Mile Island emergency, there were in

.. excess of 150 technicians at the scene performing this function.

Thisfwas a small portion of the total Federal resources that could have been made available to this effort.

Technical Assistance - The NRC has developed a comprehensive incident response program in which the NRC will independently evaluate the status of the reactor core and containment, estimate potential offsite impacts, and develop an independent assessment of utility protective action recommendations.

This is accomplished by a continuous exchange of data between NRC and the utility and evaluation of that data by NRC technical expertise with some consultation with other Federal agencies, as necessary.

These evaluations and assessments are continually discussed with State officials in an effort to assure that the protective action decisionmaker is provided with the assessment of the major participants in an appropriate context.

Military Ar.sistance - After decla v.,ie3 a Presidential Disaster, Public

)

Law 92-288 authorizes FEMA to assist the State when their resources have

'o'

-)

. been fully committed by an emergency of extraordinary portions.

FEMA can

{f(

g,!

4 ive mission assignments to other Federal agencies, including the Depart-

/,,

gh ment of Defense (D00), to lend their resources to this effort.

However, 30, J,a.D FEMA has never used military forces for police functions or emergency

\\

hacuations of the type that would be necessary in the event of an accident tt.

E V

,.y a

at a nuclear power plant.

These powers reside with the State and local governments.

Prior to the declaration of a Presidential Disaster, FEMA can request support from D0D.

In accordance with the Federal response

. plan, 000 has agreed to provide resources in a major radiological emergency.

)

At TMI, which was not a Declared Disaster, the D0D provided a significant amount of support in transporting emergency supplies and samples, providing communications support, and locating needed equipment.

D00 radiological expertise was available but not needed.

Other Assistance - Each of the Federal agencies who have a role, i.e.,

either technical response, logistical support, or recovery, have delineated the actions and support they will provide to State and local authorities in the FRERP.

This assistance will be coordinated by FEMA and includes tasks as diverse as:

use of Federal assets and expertise in meeting communications requirements providing guidance and planning assistance for acceptable levels of radiation for the reentry of an evacuated population i

assist in planning for and placing evacuated individuals in available housing assist in providing livestock feed

?

l m,.

A more complete listing of the assistance that can be provided by the i

various Federal agencies is provided in Enclosure 2.

l 1

We would also like to point out that FEMA conducts a comprehensive and well-respected program of training to State and local officials on radiological emergency response operations at its National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

This outline of potential Federal support is rather brief.

However, we wanted to bring to your attention that the Federal government has an extensive plan to assist State and local authorities in a major radiological emergency and is prepared to bring these extensive resources and capabilities to bear on the problem in a coordinated and timely manner. We are vitally interested in your views on the support that the Federal government is prepared to provide, and what additional support the Federal government should consider providing.

Further, senior management of FEMA and NRC would be pleased to meet with you or your representatives to discuss the question of Federal support if you feel that such a meeting would be useful.

We would appreciate receiving your views on Federal support and the possibility of a meeting at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely, Louis 0. Giuffrida Nunzio J. Palladino 9
