SUBJECT:
Update on Limerick - Access Control Points at King of Prussia This is an update to my memorandum of May 21, 1935, which provided a finding on offsite planning and preparedness at the Limerick Generating Station.
The one remaining condition set forth in the Third Partial Initial Decision issued by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) on May 7,1985, requiring a response is:
(1) Verification of plans to implement a level of traffic control in the King of Prussia area sufficient to assure that all traffic evacuating along Route-363 to the Pennsylvania Turnpike can continue to move upon reaching the EPZ boundary, as implicitly assumed in NUREG-0654 Planning Standard J(10)(1).
FEMA RESPONSE:
e FEMA has received verification that traffic control points and _ access control points will be established and manned to ensure that evacuating traffic could continue moving upon reaching the EPZ boundary.
This information will be incorporated into the Montgomery and Chester' County plans.
The condition addressing unmet municipal staffing needs was addre'ssed in my memorandum of May 21, 1985. Therefore, the two conditions raised by the ASLB on May 7, 1985, have now been resolved.
If you have further questions, please contact Mr. Robert S. Wilkerson, Chief, Technological Hazards Division, at 646-2861.

PENNSYLVANIA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY P.O. lox 3321 HARAtl6Uto, PtNN8YLVANIA 171c3 May 16, 1985 Mr. Paul Giordano, Director Region III Pederal Emergency Management Agency Liberty Square Building 105 South 7th Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106
Dear Mr. Giordano:
During the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hearings, relative to offsite emergency response plans for the Limerick Generating Station, concern was expressed regarding traffic control in the King of Prussia area if it became necessary to evacuate the EPZ.
This concern was reflected in the Order issued by the Board as part of its May 2, 1983 Third Partial Initial Decision on Offsite Emergency Planning.
Specific reference was made in the Order to the requirement that the plans include provisions "to assure that all the traffic evacuating along the Route 363-to-Pennsylvania Turnpike can continue to move upen reaching the EPZ boundary."
The area in question is primarily within Upper Marion Township in Montgomery County, but there is also some impact on the adj oining Tredyffrin Township in Chester County. During the last few weeks the need for additional traffic and access control points has been under review by the townships and counties involved, as well as by HMM Associates, Inc.,
the firm retained by Philadelphia Electric Company to prepara an
" Evacuation Time Estimates" study. As a result of this review, it has been determined that a total of 15 control points are needed in Upper Marion Township and two additional points will be required in Tredyffrin Township.
The TCPs and ACPs will be manned by personnel from the respective townships and will be incorporated into the next. draft of the Montgomery and Chester County plans. The control points that have been identified are as follows:
Upper Marion Township Description Location No. of Personnel TCP/ACP King of Prussia Plaza 1
Goddard Boulevard at Conrad Boulevard TCP King of Prussia Plaza 1
Goddard Boulevard at Plaza Entrance #6 Gimbels Upper Level / Atrium Building area TCP King'of Prussia Plaza 2
