f, + FERMI-2 EMERGENCY PLAN METEOROLOGY The meteorological tower is planned to have redundant (primary and backup) instrumentation separately telemetered to the control room. The instrumen-tation on this 60 meter tower would be the only onsite data sources and would therefore be subject to loss if there were a tower failure. No infor-mation is provided on auxiliary power to the tower. It is also proposed that meteorological data from Davis.Beese, 33 miles south-east of Fermi, would be used to represent diffusion conditions at the Fermi site when onsite data were unavailable. There is no indication that the applicant has analyzed how well the meteorological characteristics at both sites are related on a real-time basis. No information is provided on the dose assessment meteorological model other than to indicate proposed use of a Gaussian model. Considering the site proximity to Lake Erie, information on lake breeze circulation at the site, should be considered for the effects on effluent transport and dose determination as a result of gaseous releases.

(b) The Applicant's Quality A'ssurance Inspection Program has not been executed in conformance with Criterion X of Appen-dix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Recent reinspections of various l materials and workmanship indicate that qdality control was inadequate.during construction prior to the 1974 shutdown of construction activities at the site. Specifically, CEE identi-fies: (1) large and small bore pipe hangers, and (2) welds '~ of safety related components. (c) The Applicant has not maintained sufficient quality l assurance records to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality to comply with Criterion XVII of Appendix B to 10.CFR Part 50 in that records have been destroyed or lost during the course of construction. (d) Detroit Edison twice replaced the team of super-visors from the first general contractor, Ralph M. Parsons Co., then terminated its contract vitti Parsons and hired a second firm, because Parsons' employees refused to sacrifice quality control in order to expedite the construction schedule.

l' CARCENT Q LUNDY E N GIN E E R S CHICAGO ACCIDENT RADIOLOGICAL DOSE ASSESSMENT - MANUAL METHOD FOR THE ENRICO FERMI ATOMIC POWER PLANT - UNIT 2 1. Introduction This report documents the assumptions and technical basis for the manual back-up method for Fermi-2 off-site, accident dose assessments and radiological emergency declarations. The method uses the accident classifications of the Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guides (PAG), Reference 1, as well as NUREG-0654,. Reference 2. Total dose projections offsite are compared to the criteria of Reference 1. Reference 2 site and general emergencies based on radiological considerations at the site boundary are projected. Accident classifications based on both projected dose rate at the site boundary and projected dose to the general population require a considerable amount of information to be known about the plant performance. In-plant monitor readings may provide an estimation of the amounts of radionuclides released in plant but do not predict the amounts that may be released to the environment without many assumptions. Additional parameters r that are required but are not well known are: (a) the nuclidic composition of the source (b) the time dependent leakage rate from the primary containment to the secondary containment (reactor building) (c)- the amount of mixing in and the exhaust rate from the reactor building (d) other releases ; e.g. Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS) bypass leakage, Main Steamline Isolation Valve (MSIV) leakage, and drywell purge (e) the actual SGTS filter efficiency for iodines 1
F ' *e. CAR 2 ENTO LUNDY ENOfNEER9 't CHICACO (f) the effective height of the release to the environment (g) the wind speed and direction (h) the meteorological stability class The actual values for these items may be unknown; however, their limiting values may be known. In order to make a manual method for determining accident classifications tractable, these items must be limited in a conservative manner; that is, the values chosen must give the highese doses and dose rates. i. i k.. _
1 CARGENT QLUNDY ENGINEERO CHICAGO 2. Model The model for the manual method uses conservative a~ssumptions similar to those of Reference 3. The accident scenario starts with instantaneous release of noble gases and iodines to the primary containment at reactor shutdown or at discrete times after shutdown. 100% of the core inventory of noble gases and 25% of the core inventory of iodines (both reduced by radiodecay for the time between shutdown and the accident) are airborne and are instantaneously mixed in the primary containment volume. These activities leak to the reactor building at the design basis leak rate where they are exhausted immediately by the SGTS through an iodine filter to the environment at ground level. The calculated released activities are not necessarily the actual released activities. An estimation of the actual released activities may be made by normalizing the calculated released activities (based on conservative plant parameter assumptions) by the ratio of actual monitor readings to calculated monitor readings. The estimated actual released activities are then transported instantaneously downwind to the dose point. Dose and dose rate equations used are those for a semi-infinite cloud whose concentration is that for the center of a Gaussian plume. The dispersion parameters are those for the current Pasquill stability class (Reference 4) at the distance downwind from the release point to the dose point; however, in certain applications, the " worst" class (class G) is used. No iodine depletion by plating, washout, or ground depos,ition occurs. Thyroid inhalation doses and dose rates are bas'ed on the product of breathing rate times dose conversion factor for an awake (active) adult; for a child this product is taken to be two times larger. Parent-daughter relationships are not i 3 L
i e CAR 2ENTQ LUNDY EN GIN EERO e CHICAGO considered after the accident; however, during the time between reactor shutdown and the accident, the parent-daughter relationships between I-135 and both Xe-135m and Xe-135 are included. Noble gas and iodine nuclides with half-lives less than 3 minutes are omitted. A more general model for off-site dose and dose rate projections including mathematical descriptions and solutions of equations can be found in Appendix A. The manual method is a specific application of this general model. Equations used for the production of tables, graphs, and worksheets for the manual method are developed from the equations of Appendix A using certain specific assumptions and using Fermi-2 data. Among the potentially useful monitors, two have been chosen - an in-containment and a standby gas treatment system (SGTS) monitor. These monitors provide the idealized readings of Rad (air)/Hr and aci/cc of Xe-133 equivalent respectively. j The in-containment monitor is located on the outer wall of the drywell at the 605 ft. elevation. It views a portion of a cylindrical annulus cloud of gamma emitters and is not affected by beta radiation. The SGTS monitor is located in the standby gas treatment effluent stream after the iodine filter. It provides the effective Xe-133 activity concentration, based on i energy emitted, at that point. Each of these monitors has its faults for accident classifi-cation. Although the SGTS monitor reflects what is being instantaneously released to the environment, it may not,be conservative under certain conditions for projections of dose rate and dose as we will see later. The drywell monitor reflects what potentially might be released and may thus be overly conservative. A
e CARSENT Q LUNDY E N GIN E E RS CHIOAGO 3. Assumptions 3.1 Nuclidic Composition of the Source For noble gases the nuclide mix in the reactor core at the time of the accident would be the same as the mix in the core at reactor shutdown reduced by radiodecay for the time between shutdown and the accident. The maximum noble gas activity released to the primary containment would then be 100% of the core inventory at the time of the accident. To be conservative these activities are assumed to be immediately airborne. The ratio of the actual to the calculated monitor readings would be a measure of the fraction of the 100% core activity that was actually released. The exclusion of iodine activity from the monitor readings would result in a conservative estimate of that fraction since the actual monitor reading could be higher due to iodines. For iodine, the amount of release relative to the noble gas release is unknown. Furthermore, the amounts airborne and available for leakage are unknown. We will rely on Reference 3 to obtain a conservative estimate of the relative amounts of iodine released. This Reference states that 100% of the noble gases and 25% of the iodines in the core inventory are airborne and available for leakage to the environment. We will assume that, for the purpose of determining thyroid inhalation doses, the amounts of iodine released are always in this proportion; that is, the amount of iodine airborne in the primary containment will always be 25% of the iodine core inventory times the fraction of the Reference 3 mixture that is actually airborne. This fraction i,s the ratio of the actual monitor reading to the calculated reading including both 100% noble gases and 25% iodines. For example, if the ratio of the monitor readings is then we assume that 12- % of the iodines are airborne. i 5
'e CAR 2ENT O LUNDY E N GIN E E R S CHICAGO We must note that in this example, the fraction of the 100% core inventory of noble gases that is airborne would be , but this fraction would not be conservative ~because the actual amounts of iodine present are unknown. So we exclude the iodine contribution to the calculated monitor reading when we determine the fraction of noble gases airborne. Thus, in the example, the fraction of the 100% noble gas core inventory that is airborne would be significantly-larger than In any case the activities are assumed to be completely mixed in the entire primary containment volume. 3.2 Primary Containment Leakage Rate The primary containment leakage rate is not only unknown but also is probably a complicated function of time. To be conservative the design basis leak rate given in Reference 5 (p. 15B.6-37) is used. This value of 0.5 %/ day -4 (2.083 x 10 hr-1) is assumed to be constant for the duration of the accident (Reference 3). 3.3 Mixing in and Exhaust Rate from the Reactor Building Reference 5 (pp. 15B.6-34 and 15B.6-37) states that no credit is taken for mixing and holdup in the reactor building. This is conservative for immediate dose considerations but leads to difficulties for projected dose rates and doses based on Standby Gas Treatment System monitor readings. One would expect that some mixing does occur. Thus an SGTS monitor would give increasing readings with time until a maximum is reached, and then the readings would fall with radiodecay. However, calculated monitor readings based on no mixing would start at a high value and fall monotonically with time. The result is that at early times the fraction of core inventory released would be underestimated. The estimation would improve with time and eventually become conservative. But the 6
'e CARCENTOLUNDY ENoiNEEpS CHICAGO ? drywell monitor would project overly conservative results at early times because holdup due to mixing was ignored. Because we lack mixing data, we must assume no mixing, but we must recognize that the dose projections at early times must be closely watched. The no mixing assumption is equivalent to direct leakage from the primary containment through the SGTS filter to the environment. In other words, the SGTS exhaust rate is infinite. 3.4 Other leakages Bypass leakage is assumed to be zero. Reference 5 (p. 6.2-10f) states that a conservative estimate of the SGTS bypass leakage is zero for wind speeds less than 20 miles per hour. MSIV leakage is assumed to be zero. Reference 5 (Section 9A.3.1, p. 9A-1) states that the MSIV leakage control system is designed to operate at a higher pressure than the primary containment. Thus, leakage is inhibited. A drywell purge is not assumed to occur. 3.5 SGTu Filter Ef ficiency Reference 5 (p. 15B.6-37) states that the SGTS filter efficiency for iodine is 99%. This is a conservative value. The actual value may be higher. Since the actual value is unknown, we must use the conservative value which will result in an overestimation of the thyroid inhalation dose consequences. 7
s CARCENTO LUNDY ENQlNEERG CHICAGO 3.6 Release Height The Fermi-2 SGTS vent is not at sufficient height to take credit for elevated release. Although some height effects are present, we must be conservative by selecting a ground level release. Although a methodology for partial elevated releases could be formulated (Reference 6), finite cloud considerations would have to be used for whole body dose determinations. In addition, terrain effects would have to be considered. These complications were rejected in favor of the more simple conservative ground release with no plume rise and no terrain effects; however, building wake is included. 3.7 Wind Speed and Direction Dose rates and doses are inversely proportional to wind speed. To project such quantities over time, the wind speed must be known. It is assumed that the wind speed at the time of the projection is constant over the time period of the projection. Dose projections over large time periods should be avoided because of changes in wind speed and direction. Of course, instantaneous dose rates downwind are independent of wind direction but integrated doses apply only to directions in which the wind was blowing. 3.8 Meteorological Stability Class The Pasquill stability class (Reference 4) is required to fix the amount of dispersion in the Gaussian plume model (References 7 and 3). The stability class is assumed to be constant over the time period of the projection. 8
CAROENTO LUNDY EN GIN EERG CHICAGO 3.9 Monitors All calculated monitor readings use the following assump-tions. 1. for the purpose of determining the actual amount of noble gas released to the primary containment, 100% of the core inventory of noble gases are instantaneously released to the entire primary containment with perfect mixing. Radiodecay from time of reactor shutdown to time of accident is included. 2. for the purpose of determining the actual amount of iodines airborne in the primary containment, 100% of the core inventory of noble gases plus 25% of the core inventory of iodines are instantaneously released to the entire primary containment with perfect mixing. Radiodecay from time of reactor shutdown to time of accident is included. 9

This ratio (that in the curly brackets) will be called Q/R and may be tabulated for various combinations of release time period (r to t,) and time (t ) of the 4 monitor reading. Such O/R tabulations can be made for both effective Xe-133 and effective I-131 as well as for both drywell monitor and SGTS monitor. To obtain the actual effective activity released during a time period, the actual monitor reading at time f is multiplied by the appropriate Q/R. Since the actual drywell monitor reading units are mrad /hr, that reading -3 must be multiplied by 1.0 x 10 to convert the units to rad /hr. Such O/R tables were prepared for the accident occurring 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after the reactor shutdown. Consecutive 8 hour release time periods were used. Worksheets were prepared which provided a record of, (a) time after shutdown of release to primary containment (b) time of monitor reading (c) 8 hr period desired for activity release 13

One states that a given dose rate limit (f = 3) at the site boundary for Pasquill stability class G (i = 7) and for a 1.0 m/sec wind speed must be equalled or exceeded for a period of h hour. The other is similar except the dose rate limit (f = 2) is ten times larger and the duration is 2 minutes. For the types of accidents considered, a large dose rate for a,- period of 2 minutes is not possible without a similar large dose rate for a period of h hr. The largest possible time rate of change of dose rate is that for the whole body during the first 30 minutes of the accident 33
CAR 2 ENTO LUNDY ENGINEERO CHICAGO assuming the accident occurs at reactor shutdown; however, this decrease in dose rate is considerably less than a factor of 10. Thus, all l = 2 site emergencies are a subset of the A = 3 site emer-gencies. In site emergency determination only the A = 3 criterion will be used. Since both ( y_,33 and T = r.isi are always zero because there is no reactor building mixing and since the activity release rates are monotonically decreasing, the times T, %,,,, and T ,,,3, should both be set to hour for j = 3 calculations.

'e e CARGENTQ LUNDY ENGINEERS CHICAGO 5.8 Adjustment for Infant Thyroid Inhalation Dose Assessment In Section 5.2 through 5.7 thyroid inhalation dose assess-ment methods were based on the response of an awake, active adult. From Reference 1, the response of an infant is conservatively twice that for an adult. This factor of 2 will now be used to extend the manual method to include infant dose assessments. The thyroid inhalation dose response is the breathing rate times the thyroid inhalation dose conversion factor, L.,3, B In Section 5.2 through 5.7, .Du.,3, h is g evaluated for an awake, active adult. For an infant response the factor should be multiplied by two.
- However, this is equivalent to recording on the worksheets of Section 5.2 through 5.6 two times the projected effective I-131 activity release found in Section 5.1.
If two times the projected effective I-131 activity release is used, no other change is required to effect an infant thyroid inhalation dose assessment for Section 5.2 through 5.6. For Section 5. 7, an increase in 3)c y.or, 3 would cause g a decrease in the quantity calculated in Egn. 34; a cor-responding decrease in the tables generated by Eqns. 37 and 38 would occur. Thus, when using the worksheet in Section 5.7.2, item (d) (the value from the general emergency table) should be divided by 2 when doing thyroid inhalation dose rate evaluations. Similarly, when using the worksheet in Section 5.7.3, item (c) (the value from the site emergency table) should be divided by 2 when doing thyroid inhalation dose rate evaluations. No other change is required to ef fect an infant thyroid inhalation dose emergency assessment for Section 5.7'. 36

CARGENTQLUNDY E N GIN E E RG CHICAGO APPENDIX A A.1 Method of Solution A.l.1 Solution Models Figure Al shows a simple model of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) power plant building structure and shows nuclide activity transport paths. In this model the accident occurs at time t equal to zero. The activity /((0) for nuclide J is instantaneously mixed in the drywell plus wetwell (primary containment) volume. The airborne activity /k(O is assumed to leak at a constant rate L to the reactor building (secondary containment) volume; a fraction 3 of this leakage is immediately released, unfiltered, to the environment (bypass leakage), and a fraction 1-3 of this leakage is instantaneously mixed in the reactor building volume. Airborne activity C[t) in j the reactor building is exhausted to the environment by the standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS); the iodine portion of this effluent may be filtered. Mixing in the reactor building volume can include any percentage of that volume; e.g. 0% would be no mixing and 100% would be complete mixing. In addition, a filtered purge of the primary containment volume is possible. These three modes of release - SGTS, purge, and bypass leakage - then contribute to the total activity release rate b(i) for nuclide 5. j The activities A)(f) and C;(f) and the activity release rates b h) 3 are calculated using design basis accident plant parameters or, if possible, known parameters at the time of the accident. Such j activities and activity release rates are referred to as desihn basis accident or just design basis values. By suitable input the design basis accident may be changed; however, the actual activities and activity release rates are not necessarily the design basis values. To calculate the actual values, the design l basis values are normalized to actual radiation monitor readings Al

s CARGENTO LUNDY ENGINEERS ChtCAGO in the drywell or in the SGTS effluent. The normalization requires a calculation of the monitor readings using the design basis activ-ities. The drywell (in-containment) monitor calculated reading is the actual air dose rate due to gamma radiation at a specific point in the dry-well.* The calculational model is that for a semi-infinite cloud (Ref. 3) of activities A b) but with a finite cloud correction 3 (see Section A.4). The SGTS monitor calculated reading is the actual effective Xe-133 activity concentration in the SGTS effluent; a definition of effective Xe-133 activity is given at the beginning of Section A.3.2.2 of this report. The SGTS monitor is placed downstream from the SGTS iodine filter. In order to be conservative and in view of the fact that the iodine releases to the primary containment may be considerably smaller then the design basis values, the calculated monitor readings should not include contributions from iodines when normalizing the activity releases for the purpose of determining downwind whole body doses and dose rates. However, if the amount of iodine present is knowa, suitable input will effect the inclusion of iodine in the monitor calculations. For the purpose of determining downwind thyroid inhalation doses and dose rates, the contribution from the design basis iodine or the actual iodine, if known, is always included in the calculation of the monitor readings. Both the SGTS and purge effluents are assumed to be released near the top of the highest structure and, thus, will be completely mixed in the building wake resulting in a ground level release (Ref. 3). Although the exhaust velocities may be sufficient to

CARGENT Q LUNDY ENQlNEERO CHICAGO claim partial elevated release (Ref. 6), this effect is conser-vatively ignored. A partial elevated release would require the consideration of finite plume models as well as terrain effects which would greatly increase the complexity of the problem. .Any bypass leakage effluent would probably be of a diffuse nature over the reactor building structure. Such effluent must then be a ground level release. The transport of the effluent is modelled by a straight line Gaussian plume with a building wake correction using current site meteorological data. Such data include the average wind speed and the Pasquill stability class (Ref. 4); wind direction is not required. The centerline concentrations of nuclide activities as predicted by this model at a given downwind distance is assumed to exist at all points in space - the semi-infinite cloud model. The transport of activities from the release point to the dose point is instantaneous; there is no radiodecay in transit. This conservative modelling is used to reduce the complexity of the problem. Downwind whole body doses and dose rates use the semi-infinite cloud immersion tissue dose model of Reference 3; body depth shielding is conservatively ignored. Downwind thyroid inhalation doses and dose rates are for an awake adult, but this may be modified by suitable input. Emergency classifications based on radiological dose and dose rate considerations are obtained from the criteria given in both the Environmental Protection Agency Portective Action Guides, Appendix D, (Ref. 1) and NUREG-0654, Appendix 1, (Ref. 2).

SARGENTO LUNDY ENGINEERS CHicAto A.l.2 Assumptions The assumptions are: 1. The accidental release of radioactive nuclides is to the primary containment 2. For the two types of releases - (a) If the release is at or after reactor shutdown, the release is instantaneous at time equal zero hours. (b) If the release is during reactor operation, the release is continuous and the reactor is not shutdown during the time period of interest; that time period should start at zero hours. 3. The release consists of noble gases and iodines - the noble gases in proportion to their core inventory and the iodines in proportion to 25% of their core inventory (Ref. 3). Optionally, the iodines may be in proportion to any amount of their core inventory. Optionally, the core inventory may be changed to any desired values. 4. The release is instantaneously. mixed in the entire primary containment volume. 5. The primary containment leaks to the reactor building at a constant rate. 6. The leakage into the reactor building is instantaneously mixed into any desired fraction of the reactor building volume. 7. The reactor building is exhausted to the environment at a constant rate through an iodine filter of constant efficiency. 8. The primary containment may be purged to the environment with a constant purge rate through an iodine filter of constant efficiency. 9. Bypass leakage is direct and instantaneous from the primary containment to the environment and is unfiltered; 10. All exhausts are released as a ground level Gaussian plume with no plume rise and no terrain effects; however, building wake is included. A5

Radioactive decay in transit may be conservatively excluded. 14. Parent-daughter relationships need not be considered in the release calculations (Reference 3 stipulates only l 100% noble gases and 25% iodines in the reactor core are released). However, optionally, the contribution of I-135 to Xe-135m and Xe-135 may be included; this relationship is the only one of importance. 15. The drywell monitor views a portion of an easily modelled i .(simple geometry) finite cloud of thoroughly mixed gamma T emitters and is not affected by beta radiation; also, this monitor is not affected by plated out activities. 16. The SGTS monitor is placed in the SGTS exhaust after the iodine filter. It measures the effective Xe-133 activity concentration in the SGTS exhaust. 17. All monitors respond to gamma radiation only. 18. The ratio of the actual monitor reading to the calculated reading for that monitor is the fraction of the design basis accident release that has actually occurred. 19. For the purpose of determining downwind whole body doses and dose rates, no iodine is present when calculating the I monitor readings. However, iodine may optionally be included. 20. For the purpose of determining downwind thyroid inhalation doses and dose rate.s, contributions of.both noble gases and iodines (design basis accident amounts) are included in the calculated monitor readings. 21. Thyroid inhalation dose and dose rate criteria for determination of emergency classifications are for an awake. adult. Optional input can adjust this for any person. 1 1 i A6

This section does not apply if the value of M is -10 -10 1.0 x 10 (M = 1. 0 x 10 is a flag for the desired value of /V\\ equal to zero). If M does not equal zero, the effective activity release rate should increase with time until the activity buildup in the secondary containment reaches a level at which the removal through the SGTS equals the addition through the primary containment leakage. After this point the effective activity release rate should decrease because of radiodecay. If the specific time interval includes the time of maximum effective activity release rate, then this section presents equations for the time at which that release rate occurs.

CAREENT Q LUNDY ENGINEEDS CHICAGO ( A.4 Drywell Finite Gamma Cloud Corrections Since the drywell monitor calculated readings, Eqn. A13, are based on the semi-infinite cloud equation, the division by a correction factor H was required to effect a finite cloud. This correction 3 factor is the ratio of the semi-infinite gamma cloud dose rate to that for a finite cloud. This ratio is dependent only on the nuclide j and the geometry of the finite cloud; thus, for a given monitor location, ratios need to be calculated only once. For a BWR drywell monitor located on the outer wall of the drywell, a simple model of the geometry of the finite cloud will be a cylin-drical annulus. This section provides a reference for the theory of infinite to finite gamma cloud dose rate ratios as well as documentation for extending the theory to a cylindrical annulus cloud. Calculation of the ratios are done by an independent computer program; the ratios are then available as default values in the Accident Radiological Dose Assessment Program. Any input values may override the default ratios. Reference 14, Section 2.1 provides the theory of infinite to finite gamma cloud dose rate ratios. The equations developed in Ref. 14, Section 2.1.3.4 (Finite Rectangular Parallelopiped Cloud Dose) can be modified in order to apply to a cylindrical annulus cloud by replacing the function lUp) by a function rG0 to be derived in this Section.

7 To: Monroe County Board of Com:issioners . Re: Citizens' concerns regarding ths Proposed Radiological Dnergency Response Plan
- 1. An evacuation of the residential areas surrounding FermiII would be extra-ordinarily difficult because of the unique geography of the beach co=muriities, particularly Stoney Point and Estral Beach. These communities a*re directly on Lake Erie. Therefore, any escape to the east is impossible.
The residents of this area would have few roads available to them. In most cases, they would have to travel north or south before being able to escape to the west. This could mean travelling extremely close to the plant itself. The roads have an hourly capacity of 1200 vehicles and would have to be the main arteries of energency v'ehicles going to the plant itself. Therefore, movement out of the beach area will be very slow. These difficulties are cospounded by meteorological factors. As last winter de=enstrated, this area can be paralyzed by heavy snowfall and is susceptible to flooding.' Sheltering in lieu of evacuation is unacceptable because of the proximity to the plant. Another feature of the area is that it is a relatively short distance across the lake to the Davis-Bessie nuclear facility in Ohio.
- 2. The evacuation process outlined in Monroe County's Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) is dependent upon the Governor of the State of Michigan declaring a State of Disaster according to Public Act 390. This will necessitate a lapse of time which will further endanger those in close proximity to the plant.
It also leaves the decision to evacuate in the hahds of the Governor.
- 3. A full county-wide response to a nuclear emergency is dependent upon the activation of the Fnergency Operating Center (EOC) and the establishment of the decontamination / reception centers. This process as well and the mobilization of the county's forces will take a great deal of time. This time will be avail-able only if an unusual event progresses slowly to a general emergency. The county can not respond with full force to an incident which immediately threatens lives and property.
- 4. The facilities for the EOC at lO6' East First in Monroe may be insufficient or the staff it must accommodate. This facility also may not adequately protect the Eoc staff since it is inside the ten-mile Emergency Preparedness Zone (EPZ).
5 i roughout the plan the authorities are dependent upon the plant operator to determine when a nuclear incident has occurred. Although there is periodic monitoring by the Michigan Department of public liealth, there is not a moment by coment independent monitoring of the plants perimeter or the intake for the City of Monroe's water systec.
- 6. The RERp states,"It is the responsibility of each agency co=mitted to a nuclear power incident response to initially and annually train and caintain the capability of its own staff to respond to an incident." Since this training responsibility rests within each agency, there is no guarantee that the training is sufficient and is fully coordinated with other agencies.
This is particualarly true of volunteer organizations. Tne drills called for in the plan do not test the adequacy of training progfans because the actual moving of people, decontaminating of vehicles, and protecting of property are never part of the drills. There is nev-er a realistic evaluation of the training. of emergency workers since a mock evacua-tion is impossible due to the liabilities it imposes on local government.
- 7. The plan states, "If possible contaminates are involved, the evacuees may re-quire processing through decontaminanon centers." Tne plan proposes five possible centers:c Monroe liigh School Monroe Intermediate School District Airport Co-unity Schools Ida Community Schools Mason Iligh School The Monroe County Depart =ent of Social Services is responsible for staffing these centers.
j Federal criteria states that sufficient resources shall be available for i registering and monitoring evacuees in a 12 hour period. If the entire EPZ was forced to evacuate, these centers would have to process well over 1000 people per r hour. Creating additional centers is virtually impossible because the Department of Socia 1 Services has only approximately 100 ecployees available for administering i the centers. It is even questionable if the five centers can be properly staffed S ven the size of the DSS staff even with the assistance from the Red Cross; This i problem is compounded by the fact that the majority of the DSS employees reside outside the confines of Monroe County. If an ecergency occurred other than between 8:00 to 5:00 on a weekday, the DSS would have great difficulty in meeting its respon.sibility. u
.hn'2 phyaical location of three of these facilities may present a probic: since Monron High Schtol, Monron ISD, and Ida High School are in a line southwest of the plant. A movement of a plu=e southwest could render all three centers usele'ss. Other facilities exist that could replace these, but a shif t of 60% of the decontamination / reception centers at the last moment could create trecendous confusion.
- 8. Although the RERP establishes decontamination centers and a decontamination process, there are not provisions to monitor cars leaving the EPZ for decontami-nation. Therefore, participation in the monitoring for radioactivity and decon-tamination is voluntary.
To monitor vehicles within the EPZ would disrupt and retard the, traffic within the areas being evacuated. This would increase the risk of exposure to radiation. A
- 9. The process available to the county for the decontamination of vehicles may be inadequate and may create additional problems. This process calls for 1L decontami-nation center to be established at a s'chool where vehicles and emergency equipment will be hosed off by the local fire department. The plan states, "The water pressure attained will serve to decontarinate vehicles."
It is questionable is this =ethod will be effective. The effect of running contami-nated wter into a field has not been studied. This also raises the possibility of contaminating the water table beneath the field by the run-off. This is an important question since the schools available for the proposed centers are very close to residential areas dependent upon well-water. Another questionable aspect of the decontamination procedure is the' reliance on the local fire departments within the district of the center to perfor= the decontamination. In many cases, this means relying on volunteer fire departments for the personnel and equipment. Since these persons will be volunteers, they are placed in a legal position that prevents them from having liability coverage. This might effect their willingness to actively participate in this dangerous operation. Since the selection of deconta=ination centers will be dependent on the wind direc-tion, all five department personnel must be trained and willing to participate in the decontamination procedure.
- 10. Local fire departments have many responsibilities in addition to the decontamina-tion process. These include:
- a. The Frenchtown Fire Department (a volunteer unit) will provide on'-site fire and rescue service at the Fermi plant.

- b. Fire department will provide notification to residents not provided with siren covernga.
- c. Fire personnel will assist immobilized and institutionalized persons leaving their homes or facility if evacuation is ordered.
- d. Each fire department will perform re-entry and recovery tasks as necessary.
Because of The majority of these fire departments are volunteer organizations. the limitations of P.A. 390 and insurance policies, volunteers have no liability Tnerefore, it is inadvisablg to depend upon volunteers for these vital coverage. functions.
- 11. Local law enforce =ent agencies have substantial duties during an evacuation in addition to their normal responsibilities. Yet these agencies have rather limited personnel to meet these duties. This limitation is compounded by the fact that law enforcement personnel will be working in areas where they will be exposed to As each officer is exposed to caximum levels of radiation, the local radiation.
Depending upon the , law enforcement agencies will be dramatically depleted. National Guard troops to supplement local agencies means turning very funda= ental emergency procedures over to people unfamiliar with not only the locality, but alschhecoordinatedeffortofallagenciesintheradiologicalemergencyresponse. c< > 12.It has been widely accepted that the ingestion of potassium iodide (KI) can significantly reduce the dangers of exposure to certain radiation by its thyroid blocking properties. It is also videly understood that KI c:ust be ingested immediately to have its full impact. The RERP states that the Michigan Depart =ent When an of Public Health maintains a quantity of KI at its central office. incident occurs this supply will be transported to the local area. The plan calls for the Director of th,e, onroe County Health Depart =ent to distribute M the drugs. The plan even has a sample press to instruct persons living in designated areas wherk to pick up a supply of potassium iodide. Tnis procedure will take several hours. This delay will render potassium iodide unavailable and useless to evacuees. The delay will also minimize its value for emergency workers.
- 13. The RERP places'the responsibility for the recovery of and re-entry into areas evacuated and /or contaminated due to an off-site release on local government.
decon-During this period, local government is assigned numerous tasks including: tamination of people, property, and food; health and medical services for evacuees; mass care and welfare; and radioactive waste disposal.
$o cost to fulfill this list of tasks in addition to the oth:r reouirements The cost of decontamination of placed upon local government is astronomical. private houses and property could destroy the local government financially. Especially the cost of decontamination of fams in the rural area surrounding The environmental icpact statement states, ~ the p'_ ant could be devastating. "where the material becomes relatively fixed in its location as an environmental contaminant (for example, in soil), the hazard can continue to exist for a relatively long' period of time - months, years or even decades." It is doubtful if homes and property could ever be decontaminated fully if the cost is beyond the resources and expertise of the local government responsible for it. Health and medical services that would be necessary following a nuclear emergency could become very costly. This is a cost local goverraent can not assume. Mass care and welfare could place the county in a position 6f long term care for the people whose homes and farms are uninhabitable because of contamination. It is obvious that the county can never accept responsibility for radioactive waste disposal. The entire process of re-entry and recovery could destroy the county financially but the real danpr is that a full and proper response is beyond the ability of the local goverraent. r:e IL. The first priority during a response to a radiologici emergency will be the This means a co=plete transportation of children, the sick and the elderly. evacuation of the Monroe Public Schools, Airport Co== unity Schools, Jefferson Schools, all parochial schools, all private schools, pre-schools, Mercy-Memorial Hospital, and all nursg care facilities.

The combined capacity of the buses of Monroe Public Schools, Jefferson Schools, Airport Community Schools and Lake Erie Transportation Commission is 9685.
