Attachment #2 BOSTON EDISON SOUTH WEYMOUTH RECEPTION CENTER RELOCATION PROGRESS STATUS REPORT NO.1 APRIL 10,1997 INTRODUCTION This is the first in a series of reports on the progress of establishing a replacement for the South Weymouth Naval Air Station (SWNAS) reception center. These reports will be submitted on a monthly basis until the new reception centrer is functional.
The attached schedules represent Boston Edison suggesied timeframes to accomplish the required tasks. The timeframes are not intended to represent deadlines. These schedules were provided to the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) for their review.
The efforts and schedules described herein are those of Boston Edison Company in support of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). MEMA has overall responsibility for Radiological Emergency Response planning in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Any views or opinions expressed within are those of Boston Edison and do not necessarily represent the views of MEMA or other state and local ag.encies.
2 BACKGROUND The South Weymouth Naval Air Station in South Weymouth, Massachusetts, has been functioning as one of the three reception centers for evacuees from a potential emergency at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. Boston Edison and the Commonwealth hold a letter of 4
agreement with SWNAS for use of the facility in support of MEMA's Radiological Response Plan in 1995, SWNAS was listed by the federal govemment as slated for closing. On February 6,1997, a letter from SWNAS notified Boston Edison that the base was closing and requested that all reception center equipment be removed by June 1,1997. A February 25, 1997, meeting between MEMA, Boston Edison, and SWNAS confirmed the closing dates, the base mothballing process, and the firmness of the June 1,1997, date for equipment removal.
FEMA subsequently expressed concern over the impending loss of the facility, and sharing FEMA's concern that a replacement reception center be identified, the NRC has requested a schedule of Boston Edison's progress to date and monthly updates until the new reception center is functional.

PLANS / PROCEDURES Boston Edison has reviewed current Offsite Emergency Preparedness Program documents to obtain a preliminary assessment of documents that will require revision.
STAFFING SWNAS Facility l
As confirmed in an April 4,1997, conversation with Braintree Emergency Management, the current staff consisting of volunteers from Weymouth, Braintree, and Quincy remains intact and will likely not change prior to June 1,1997.
i Replacement Facility Indications are from Braintree Emergency Management (via a 3/4/97 meeting) that j
the current staff would remain intact assuming the replacement facility was located reasonably close to the Braintree/Quincy/Weymouth area.
TRAINING SWNAS Facility No training is currently scheduled for 1997.
Replacement Facility Boston Edison will support MEMA in the training of Reception Center personnel at the facility by committing the services of contractors and Boston Edison Emergency Preparedness personnel for training coordination and conduct.
FACILITY / EQUIPMENT SWNAS Facility A complete inventory of the SWNAS Reception Center equipment was done in Septernber 1996.
An inventory check was performed by SWNAS and Boston Edison personnel on March 26,1997.
Replacement Facility Boston Edison and MEMA attended various meetings held with officials from two potentiallocations as described below. As oiscussed with MEMA, these locations will be referred to as Sites A and B located in Communities A and B, respectively.
Page 2 of 4
Site A Boston Edison and MEMA met with Site A Civil Defense Director on March 4,1997, j
to discuss use of a facility as a reception center.
Boston Edison and MEMA met with Site A Civil Defense and the superintendent of schools on March 7,1997, to discuss use of a school as a reception center. i l
Boston Edison and MEMA met with Site A Executive Secretary on. March 10,1997,
}
to review functions of a reception center and to discuss use of a school as a reception center.
MEMA sent a letter to Site A Executive Secretary on March 13,1997, requesting j
consideration of the use of Site A as a reception center. MEMA subsequently sent a letter on March 27,1997, requesting the opportunity to make a presentation to town officials regarding the request.
Site A's Executive Secretary serd s letter to MEMA's Director on March 31,1997, i
stating that the Board of Selectmen was receptive to MEMA's request to use Site A i
as a reception center md that MEMA shculd proceed to obtain school approval and I
arrangements with other Site A officials.
MEMA and Boston Edison will make a presentation to Site A public officials on April 15,1997, to explain the functions of a reception center and answer concems that i
the officials may have.
Site B Boston Edison Manager Nuclear information Division contacted a Site B senior official on or about March 6,1997, to schedule a meeting to discuss potential use of a facility as a reception center.
Boston Edison met with the Site B official on March 11,1997, to discuss potential use of a school as a reception center.
ACTIVITY COORDINATION l
Boston Edison initiated the process, in accordance with company guidelines, of revising the Nuclear Emergency Preparednes; budget to support increased funding for the SWNAS replacement project.
Boston Edison Group Manager, Regulatory Relations met with the MEMA Director j
regarding status of the reception center project on March 3,1997.

OFFSITE PROGRAM SUPPORT ACTIVITIES Boston Edison and contractor personnel will assist MEMA with implementation of 1
this project including:
Site location / evaluation Facility / Equipment design
[
_ Construction interface Revising Offsite Emergency Preparedness Program documents to reflect the f
new reception center location, layout and operations. Documents to be revised include:
- Commonwealth, local and reception center plan / procedures (IP's) j
- Layout drawings and implementing procedure graphics
- Lesson plans j
- Staffing lists 4
- Equipment matrices i
- Telephone listings j
i Maintenance of emergency worker staff Training coordination and conduct Govemment/ Agency interface
}
Boston Edison has identified public information materials (placards, flyers, l
telephone book ads, and calendar) that will require revision.
4 J
Boston Edison has identified miscellaneous Emergency Preparedness Program elements requiring review and/or revision including:
Transportation elements j
Host school elements Mass Care Shelter elements Boston Edison contacted their Evacuation Time Estimate contractor on February 26,1997, regarding potential change to the ETE and evacuation routes j
upon identification of new facility location.
i Schedule i
t Boston Edison is submitting a schedule indicating timeframes for assisting MEMA with the i
relocation. The schedule assumes t% replacement must be implemented by June 1,1997.
However, in working with FEMA and MEMA, it was ascertained that some items on the schedule regarding auxiliary or lower priority bsks could be completed after that date.
On April 10,1997, Boston Edison provided the atta:hed schedule to MEMA that represents Boston Edison's suggested timeframes to accomplish the required tasks. The timeframes are not intended to represent deadlines but, rather, target dates / goals.
