IgDLEMAN CG ihi!ON 57-C-10 I i c

! The state Plan (pt. 1, p.45-46 and 50-53) provides I

! no useful analysis or information on sheltering offactive- f l

rass; but without knowledge of sheltering effectiveness, [

the decision on that option vs. evacuation will be ill-i informed and quite possibly wrong. The plan's discussion I

( of protective actions is mostly a list of them and a l little handwaving -- its hopelessly inadequate. The plan, j for potential shelters typical of those in the SNMPP plume EPE, does not comply with Evaluation Criterion J.10.m  !

of MUREG-0654, which calls for inclusion in the plan of I l

q "sixpected local protection afforded in residential units or i other shelter for direct and inhalation exposure...."

i I

RESPONSE  !

NUREG-0654, Criterion J.10.m. reqdres plans to include: -i, i

The bases for the choice of recom- i monded protective actions from the plume i exposure pathway during emergency condi- 1 tions. This shall include expected local protection afforded in residential units '

or other ahn1ter for direct and inhala-  ;

tion exposuae, as well as evacuation time estimates.  :

l I The North Carolina Energency Response Plan as revised April 1,1N5, includes, at page 51, Part 1, average protection factors for residential ed other structures. I

, o Whilo thoso protection factors apply to singlo-story framo and brick residontial structures without base-monts, thoso samo protection factors would, of courso, apply to commercial, public, or industrial buildings of similar sizo and construction.

As indicated in the plan, pago 51, Part I, tho protection factor data is includod to provido a sound estimato of "sholtor offectivonons" and to add to tho banca of choice betwoon availablo protectivo action options.

Thono bason, in our opinion, are conservativo ninco largor, institutional-typo structuren being normally moro spacioun and mannivo, offor a grantor degroo of protection. Thoroforo, in our opinion, the plan includon adoquato banon for roanonably annuring that adoquato protectivo moanuron could be taken in a radiological omorgoney.

CONTENTION EPJ-4-b Adult bun drivorn havo minimal education and are paid very low wagon. They cannot be trusted to put their jobs abovo family obligations or to parform adoquatoly in omorgoney situations.

BUSPONOM NUnt0-0654 Critorion J.10.g. requiron that tho organiza-tion's plano to implomont protectivo moanuron shall in-cludo a monna of rolocation.

We understand, from the Board's " Memorandum and Order (Ruling on Remaining Summary Disposition '

Motions)" dated April 24, 1985, that the Board's focus in this hearing is to provide the Intervenors an opportunity to conduct cross-examination to deter-mine the strength of Dr. Mileti's claims that adult bus drivers can be expected to perform the duties assigned to them under emergency plans.

As previously stated in the " Affidavit of Thomas I.

Hawkins in Support of Applicants' Motion for Summary Disposition of Contentions EPJ-4(a) and EPJ-4(b)", FEMA Region IV has observed or participated in numerous disaster operations and have found that emergency workers report for duty when asked to servo during emergencies and faithfully perform their designated duties.

Respectfully submitted, WJohn ALMC. Hear
