8507090454 850705 PDR ADOCK050g32

Q.5. Could you please describe your responsibilities as the superintendent of the State Correctional Institution at Graterford?

A.S. I am the chief executive officer of the institution with administrative responsibility for the fiscal management and operation of the institution. It is my responsibility to maintain the security and maintenance operations aspect of the institution. Additionally, I oversee the provision for the health, safety and welfare of our inmates and to provide programs for their rehabilitation.

Q.6. Are you familiar with the Radiological Emergency Response Plan for Graterfor'd in response to a nuclear incident at the Limerick Generating Plant?

A.6. Yes, I am familiar with the plan. I worked closely with our RERP Coordinator, Mr. Stephen Lucash, to determine what we would have to do to gather our inmates to implement an evacuation and to coordinate the process of bringing in the appropriate vehicles and embarking our inmates on those vehicles and getting them out according

~

to the selected routes. This process was done in conjunction and cooperation with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, as well as the Central Office for the Department of Corrections, both of whom gave us support and suggestions. We also l

ran through an evacuation emergency exercise with these agencies for the Federal Emergency Management Agency on March 7,1985.

t Q .7. Have you been involved in developing an estimated time of evacuation for Graterford?

A .7. Yes. It is my understanding that Commissioner Jeffes gave an estimated time for evacuation for Graterford several months ago. We subsequently undertook an independent analysis of the components of and the time needed to complete an evacuation of Graterford. In doing so, we worked with staff at Graterford on site and developed an evacuation time estimate based upon past experiences as to how long it would take us to secure, prepare for evacuation and ultimately evacuate the institution.

2-L

After we developed the estimated time of evacuation at Graterford. I reviewed it with Commissioner Jeffes. We both used the same methodology in developing our estimated time of evacuation. In my opinion, in order to arrive at a reasonable estimated time of evacuation, the method we used is the only niethod. To more fully illustrate this methodology,' we developed a flow chart, which is submitted with this testimony.

Q.8. Superintendent Zimmerman, turning to the flow chart, how was this developed?

A.8. We developed our estimates based upon previous experience with other emergencies and the day-to-day operation of the prison. We know, for example, thdt to lockdown the institution would take us approximately 30 minutes. We then would have to get a count of the inmates. We make counts routinely everyday, and they take approximately 30 minutes.

Q.9. Superintendent Zimmerman, do you expect it to take any longer to lockdown the institution during an evacua'tlon situation than on a normal day?

A.9. Based on our past experience, when there are life threatening situations and the inmates know something is going on, for their own good, they cooperate with the l staff. For example, we've had fire drills in the past, and inmates cooperate with those.

So, during an evacuation due to a nuclear incident, we expect this to take thirty minutes.

Q.10. Superintendent Zimmerman, are there situations and circumstances for this evacuation where the inmates would not have to be locked down?

A.10. Yes. If this happened in the middle cf the night or during one of our population ecunts, the institution population would already be locked down. We have the population locked down at 5 p.m. daily just before dinner for count. We i

i i

l also have a majority of the prison population in its cells just before lunch, about 11:30 a.m. There are, therefore, several times during the day, as well as the entire night, that we would not have to undergo the lockdown process. For the purpose of l l

estimating the time for evacuation, however, it was reasonable to include the time needed to effect a lockdown.

I Q.11. What, if anything, will the inmates be told while the officers are walking the blocks taking the count? -

A.11. While the officers are taking count, the inmates would be notified via our public address system, which is heard throughout the institution, that they should pack their personal effects in a pillowcase, that they would be permitted to take only that which would fit on that person and the pillowcase, and only those health and comfort items deemed necessary for their trip and for their relocation.

l f

i- .

I Q.12. Would the inmates have any other notice'regarding the evacuation?

A.12. Yes. We plan to issue an addendum to the inmate handbook, which is given to every inmate. The addendum will tell the inmates what to do to help in the evacuation.

Q.13. Turning to the " Vehicle Arriving" portion of the flow chart, can you describe how you arrived at those figures?

! A.13. Yes. We travel these routes regularly with our own buses and vans when moving from one facility to another, and we used what we considered to be the most reasonable figure. If we would have gradual entry into the emergency situation, we would already have the buses on site at Graterford. On the other hand, if we have a more rapidly developing incident, it may take between one to three hours for the bus companies to get their vehicles to the support facilities and then travel time to Graterford. The figure we used in developing the estimate was two to four hours. This is a realistic travel time from the support institutions to Graterford and is based on the drivers having the busses at the support institutions.

Q.14. Turning your attention to the off-duty personnel figures on the flow chart, can you discuss how they were arrived at?

i A.14. Yes, the chart indicates that off-duty personnel will arrive in one to two hours. We know this because we've had emergency situations where we've had to call in off-duty personnel. In addition, our institution emergency plan, which is tested at .

least twice a year, requires us to conduct a test of our call-in system. Our response in this instance is based upon those tests as well as those actual emergency situations that have happened over the past several years. Some of the personnel begin to arrive almost immediately, but to get the manpower for the loading teams will take one to two hours. All of the off-duty personnel would not be required to effect our evacuation plan; only the number indicated in the plan itself would be necessary to effect the

~

movement of the inmates from their cells to the staging area.

Q.15. Turning your attention to the "Yehicle Loading Team" figure on the flow chart, can you discuss how that was arrived at and what it really means?

A.15. Basically, it means that we assigned designated personnel to be vehicle loading teams, that is, they would be at the staging areas. We have designated five of those areas in various places in the institution to which inmates would be funneled and boarded on the buses. Loading team personnel are required to see that the inmates get on the proper vehicle.

Q.16. Turning your attention to the information under the heading of " Evacuation" on the flow chart, could you explain the figures shown for the Class 3, 4 and 5 inmates?

5-

s

• A.16. Yes. Class 4 and 5 inmater are those inmates requiring the least amount of security that we have at our institution. In point of fact, many of these inmates live outside the walls of the institution and work outside the walls. Some of them go home on furloughs periodically. Class 3 inmates are those inmates designated as our general population. They are free to move about the inside of the institution depending on their work assignments, where they live, and in which program they are involved. All of our staff who would be involved in moving these inmates have been trained in the use of security equipment and use it on a regular basis. We have designated special .

teams that go on the blocks, the numbers determined by the size of the block and the amount of security needed. These teams would effectively remove the inmate from his cell, apply the appropriate security device and see him on his way to the appropriate staging area. The teams can move from cell to cell because we will have officers running a line from the block that is being evacuated onto the staging area. The inmate will be directed to go and follow that line of officers so that the inmates in effect would be walking to the staging areas for boarding the buses in a smooth, uninterrupted flow.

Q.17. Superintendent, the amount of time you have allocated for these Class 3, 4 and 5 inmates appears to indicate that more than one inmate at a time in each of -

these classes will be getting security restraints and being loaded, is that correct?

A.17. Yes. We have teams of officers doing this simultaneously on several blocks i and moving right down the block on all of the ranges and tiers. Ranges and tiers are i the different parts of the cellblock.

l Q.18. In the flow chart you allocated more time for the Class 1 and 2 inmates.

Could you describe what Class 1 and 2 inmates are and why you allowed more time to i restrain and load these inmates?

I A.18. Class 1 and 2 inmates are those requiring the highest degree of security that we have in the facility. These are inmates who are in our restricted housing units or in disciplinary lockup or administrative custody. The reason we have allowed more time to restrain and load them is because of additional security devices that may be used and the additional security required in moving them from their cells to the vehicles.

Again, there are several teams working, depending upon the location and the physical plant, and the time estimate is based on the fact that the officers are familiar with using the restraints and moving the inmates. .

Q.19. What effect would there be on the evacuation if one of the cellblocks refuses to lockdown or in some other way tries to impede the evacuation of the institution?

A.19. I believe minimal to none. My opinion is based upon the fact that we handle emergency situations on an almost regular basis, and the very nature of the fact that Graterford is a maximum security correctional facility. We have a team of. trained personnel, our Emergency Response Team, which would be on hand and would be ready to respond to any type of situation like this. We can isolate areas inside the institution, and once isolated, we simply move the required personnel into that area, and they do whatever it is that they have to do to restore order.

Q.20. The other inmates could still be evacuated?

A.20. Absolutely, i

Q.21. Turning your attention to the caption " Evacuation Begins" on the flow chart, how did you arrive at the numbers for the times of evacuation for the vans, ambulances and buses?

A.21. We arrived at these figures by evaluating the actions that would take place during the evacuation. Certain actions will take place at the same time. We can

begin lockdown, request the vehicles and call in off-duty personnel at the same time. As I discussed earlier, inmates will be restrained, loaded into vehicles and removed as the vehicles arrive on site. To arrive at the total of eight to ten hours, we reviewed the busses that would be coming at what time and how many inmates would be loaded at what times. We then added a short period of time for travel time out of the evacuation area. Although I am not at liberty to disclose evacuation routes, I can say that we will have the inmates go out of the evacuation area in a reasonably direct route. We will certainly not take them out past Limerick. .

Q.22. W'h y do you have a range of numbers in this section?

A.22. Because we would load the busses as they arrive and send them out to the support institutions, and the busses are expected to come in at varying times since they are travelling different distances.

Q.23. In conclusion, Superintendent Zimmerman, do you believe the evacuation could take longer than the eight to ten hours you have compiled for the evacuation time estimate for Graterford?

A.23. In my opinion, it's highly unlikely. We developed the estimate using figures based on experience, including experience with emergency situations. The inmates will .

have been provided information with respect to an evacuation in the inmate handbook and will be kept abreast of developments during an incident. My staff and I are confident that the evacuation can be completed in the time indicated in the flow chart.

PLAN OF INSTRUCTION NUMBER SEVEN DOSIMETRY AND DECONTAMINATION SEMINAR FOR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL Office of Training and Education Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency January, 1985 L.

b PLAN OF. INSTRUCTION NUMBER SEVEN DOSIMETRY AND DECONTAMINATION SEMINAR FOR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL Rationale Despite the extraordinary precautions and safeguards in effect, there remains the possibility of unplanned radiological releases from the nuclear-powered generating plants located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In minimizing the risk to emergency response personnel who may be required to function in a potentially hazardous environment, there is a need for such personnel to know how to monitor their personal exposure to radiation, monitor exposure of other persons, and conduct proper decontamination monitoring procedures.

Purpose -

This seminar is designed to provide emergency personnel with the knowledge and skills that will permit them to monitor their personal exposure to radiation and to conduct decontamina-tion monitoring procedures that will lui employed in appropriate locales in proximity to nuclear-powered generating plants.

Objectives Upon completion of this seminar, participants should be able to do the following:

1. Develop an understanding of the government response.to disasters.

2. Demonstrate an ability to properly utilize the designated dosimetry.

3. Know the acceptable levels of radiation during an incident at a fixed nuclear facility.
