TESTIMONY OF GORDON WENGER REGARDING ROREM CONTENTION 1(a)
I am Gordon Wenger, Emergency Planning Specialist, with the Technological Hazards Branch,. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
Region V. I have held this position for th'e last six years. I am the Federal Team Leader for Radiological Emergency Preparea' ness Planning for
- Illinois and Indiana. A statement of my professional qualifications is attached as exhibit A.
THE ISSUES The purpose of my testimony is to address Contention 1(a) of Bridget Little Rorem, which states:
Intervenor contends that'an adequate emergency plan for the Braidwood Station should include the .following:
a) a program for informing the public within 10 miles of the Station of the means for obtaining' instructions for evacuation or other protective measures in the event of a radiological emergency originating at the Station.
My testimony will address two issues raised by Rorem Contention 1(a), that is, (1) the adequacy of the information booklet which is the vehicle for disseminating the infomation called for in the Contention and (2) the adequacy of the plan for its dissemination (the public j i
l
. information program). In evaluating the brochure and the plan, I have referred to Evaluation Criteria II. G. I and II. G. 2 of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REf' 1, Rev.1.
Evcluation Criteria II. G. I states:
Each organization shall provide a coordinated periodic (at leas.t annually) dissemination of information to the public regarding how they will be notified and what their actions should be in an emergency. This information shall include but not necessarily be limited to:
- a. educational information on radiation;
- b. contact for additional information;
- c. protective measures, e.g., evacuation routes and relocation center.s, sheltering, respiratory protection, radioprotective drugs; and
- d. special needs of the handicapped.
Means for accomplishing this dissemination may include, but are not limited to: information in the telephone book, periodic information in utility bills, posting in public areas; and publications distributed on an annual basis.
Evaluation Criteria II. G. 2 states:
The public infonnation program shall provide the permanent and transient adult population within the plume exposure EPZ [ Emergency Planning Zone] an adequate opportunity to become aware of the information annually. -
The programs should include provisions for written material that is likely to be available in a residence during an emergency. Updated information shall be disseminated at least annually. Signs or other measures (e.g., decals, posted notices or other means, placed in hotels, motels, gasoline stations and phone booths shall-also be used to disseminate to any transient population within'the' plume exposure pathway EPZ appropriate information that would be helpful if an emergency or accident occurs. Such notices shoi!)d refer the transient to the telephone directory or other source of local emergency information and guide the visitor to appropriate ,
radio and television frequencies. '

MY EVALUATION
- 1. The Booklet -
a.' Educational Information on Radiation (Criterion II. G.1. a.)
The public information booklet which Commonwealth Edison proposes to disseminate is attached to this testimony as Exhibit B. The booklet contains a section' entitled " Nuclear Power Plants" and another entitled " Radiation." Both sections are one page in length. The fomer explains the principles behind the operation of a nuclear power plant and points out that there is some risk of the escape of waste products which emit radiation. The latter section explains the effects of different It states that radiation doses of
~
levels of radiation on the human body.
over 20,000 millirem in a day are necessary to produce identifiable effects in the body. This is over 200 times the amount of radiation a person is nomally subject to in an entire year. The section on radiation points out that radiation levels at the nuclear power plant are monitored constantly, that even more detailed readings would be taken in the event of an emergency, and that plans for evacuation or sheltering the public would be put into effect if radiation exposures exceeded a predetemir.ed level.
There is sufficient information included in the booklet to meet the requirements of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP 1, Rev.1 Criterion II. G.1.a.
- b. Contacts for Infomation (Criterion II. G.1.b)
Inside the. front cover of the booklet, there is a preface which
. states:
If you would like additional booklets or additional information, please write to Comunications Services, Commonvealth Edison, P.O. Box 767, Chicago, Illinois 60690. Or l you may write to one of the Emergency Services offices listed l at the end of Section 5.
l
- e- n i
4
. 4-The booklet also contains a section entitled "Your Area's Emergency Plan" (Section 6). The last half page of that section is a prominent 1f displayed box with the names of County Emergency Agencies in bold type.
The text immediately before the box directs the reader to write or call one of the oYfices listed for more information. The box lists the names addresses and telephone numbers of the Illinois Emergency Services and Disaster Agency and the comparable agencies for Will, Grundy, and Kankakee Counties.
I find that the contacts for additional information are accura +e, prominently displayed, and easy to find. The booklet meets the criterion II. G. 1. b.
- c. Protective Measures (Criterion II. G. I. c.)
Section 1 of the booklet, "If You Hear a Siren Sounding," explains that, in an emergency, the responsible officials may direct people to
. stay indoors or to evacuate. Section 2, "If Officials Say To Take Shelter Indoors," provides directions for the safety of the reader in an emergency which does not require evacuation.- Section 3, "If Officials Say to Evacuate," gives instructions for an evacuation.
There is a map in the center of the booklet (Section 4) which shows principle evacuation routes. The Communities of Braceville, Braidwood, Carbon Hill, Coal City,. Diamond, East Brooklyn, Essex, Gardner, Godley, Mazon, Reddick, South Wilmington, Union Hill, and Wilmington are shaded and outlined on the map. While the map does not show every road in the EPZ, it does show major roads and enough landmarks that anyone who under-stands how to reae a road map could f5 d the evacuation routes. In
= -
+*
. addition, a panel to the right of the map lists the principal evacuation routes and; preplanned destinations. The same panel lists the radio stations which will provide further information and instructions.
Questions of respiratory protection are addressed in Sections 2 and 3 of the booklet. The booklet does not address questions of radioprotective drugs. The decision whether or not to administer
~
radioprotective drugs is reserved to officials in charge at the time of an emergency. The State of Illinois does not anticipate administering it to the entire population of the EPZ at the time of- an emergency.
Therefore it is appropriate that the booklet does not suggest that such drugs will be made available.
The booklet meets criterion II. G. 1. c. The information which is provided is clear, concise, and etsy to find,
- d. Special Needs of the Handicapped (Criterion II. G.1.d.)
Section 9 of the booklet is entitled " People With Special Needs."
It is positioned on the back and inside-back covers of the booklet so that the tear-out Business Reply Card will automatically include the address label of the' individual mailing it, assuming that the booklet was delivered to the responder ty mail to begin with. Tha Business Reply Card also has a space for the responder's telephone number.
This Section contains clear instructions for the reader to let public officials know of his or her special medical or transportation
-needs or need to be alerted in the event of an emergency. The portion of the Business Reply Card on the back cover of the booklet has simple graphic symbols illustrating these needs. To the left of the card is a
brief questionnaire which asks the reader if he or she has a special need in any of the areas listed. He or she needs only to circle the appropriate "Yes" or "No" responses, write in a telephone number, tear out the card and mail it.
The booklet effectively addresses the special emergency needs of the population of the EPZ. I find that it meets Criterion II. G.1. d.
of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP 1, Rev. 1.
- e. Overall Assessment The strength of this public information booklet lies in its simplicity'and logical organization. Each section states no more than is necessary to convey the reauired information; and each section' leads naturally to the one which follows. The actions residents may be asked to take are described and discussed in ways that make the information readily accessible in an emergency. The graphics used throughout the booklet are simple, clear, and germane. Repetition has been used to reinforce-the concepts presented. For example, directions to turn on the radio when the sirens are sounded are mentioned four times. Sources of additional information or sources of additional copies of the booklet are displayed three times.
I find that the public information booklet which the Applicant proposes to distribute effectively addresses Rorem contention 1(a).
Emergency telephone numbers are prominently displayed in the booklet.
. 2. The Public Information Program The State of Illinois has developed a comprehensive Illinois Plan-for Radiological Accidents (IPRA)'in close cooperation with the affected county governments and the Applicant. The IPRA uses Public Information Booklets as the primary means of disseminating inforr,iation, but it also calls for annual press briefings, the designation of Public Information Spokespersons, and systematic rumor control. Exhibit C to this testimony is Section K, "Public Information Considerations'," of Volume VII, Chapter 4
2, of the IPRA.
The distribution scheme for the Public Information Booklets calls fur it to be mailed each year directly to residents of the EPZ and to be made available in quantity in area hotels, motels, recreational areas, schools, industries, health care and nursing facilities, local Emergency Services and Disaster Agencies, and local utility offices. It is my opinion that the distribution plan would be enhanced by the posting of signs in places where transients are likely to go, advising them of the availability of. booklets and of the frequencies of emergency broadcast radio stations. However, NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP 1, Rev.1. does not literally require such actions.
In preparation for annual press briefings, the news media will be given portfolios of handouts. At the briefings, they will be able to ask questions directly of representatives of state and local governments and of the utility. Briefing topics will. include an overview of the Illinois -
Plan for Radiological Accidents-Braidwood, the concept of operations, the accident classification scheme, the communications network, protective and parallel actions, and public information. In short, the news media
l
~
i 8
l will be given ample opportunity to become knowledgeable not only about the emergen,cy plans but also about the nature of any emergency which may be anticipated.
I find that the public information program provides a systematic means of delivering information to all members of the public who need the information. The plan ensures that the information will be kept current and will be redistributed annually. In the event of an emergency, a comprehensive network is activated to deliver information on a current basis effectively to the entire population of the EPZ. The requirements of Criterion II. G. 2 are that Information should be distributed at least annually, in a way that it is likely be available in a residence in time of emergency and that signs, decals or other notices in public places direct transients to sources of current information. I find that these requirements are met by the public information plan.
CONCLUSIONS The Intervenor, Bridget Little Rorem, contends that the emergency plan should contain a program for informing the public of means for obtaining instructions in time of emergency. The plan does contain such a program. The primary means the plan adopts is the annual mailing of a booklet to all residences in the EPZ. The Booklet will also be made available in other places the public has frequent access to. The booklet explains in very clear tenns where to get information in the event of an emergency. The plan also calls for annual briefings of the news media, I i
I
and a continual flow of vital information to the public in the event of an emergency. I am satisfied that the IPRA not only meets the require-nents of Rorem contention 1(a) but that it also meets the more detailed requirements of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP 1, Rev.1.

BE PREPARED k / -
W- i You hever know when you might have to leave your home on short notice, for a variety of reasons. A severe nuclear plant accident is only one remote possibility. Floods, fires, tomadoes, chemical spills, and family emergencies could also occur. That's why it pays to prepare now to make things easier later.
Here are four sensible ways to prepare for any emergency.
- 1. Keep emergency gear in a special drawer or other place that the whole family knows. A portable radio and flashlight with extra batteries, finit aid supplies, extra sets of car keys, and other items will then be handy if the ne zd arises. Keep this booklet there, too. Be sure you have marked your lccation on the map on the previous page.
- 2. Keep > our important papers together in a' safe place. Then you can find them quickly in an emergency.
- 3. Have a list of things you want to take if you must leave home quickly.
Post th: list by the back door or other convenient spot. Make sure you keep a supply of the items you listed.
- 4. Keep your car in good running order. Fill your gas tank whenever it gets down to half. If you don't have a car and require transportation, fill out and mail the card on the inside back cover of this booklet.

'[ 4 K. blic Information Considerations l
The methods by which the public is kept informed of the nature and consequences of a nuclear incident before, during and after !
i-
- such an incident have been discussed in Vol. I, Ch. 8. As one of-L the' several sources .of -information to the residents of .the EPZ,- ;
- this section amplifies the local governments' role in providing. an i accurate and consistent release of information. !
j' As. Chief Executive of .the STATE 1F ILLINOIS, the GOVERNOR is the official spokesperson for the State emergency operations. The l GOVERNOR'S staff will receive information from two primary sources, c namely IESDA and 'IDNS. IESDA will collect and summarize inform- 1 l' - ation concerning 'the operational response of the State. - IDNS will l provide.a technical sumary of the incident and its consequences, actual and potential, upon the population near the site. ;
i Infomation from the site will be relayed to the STATE ECC and !
i the REAC via NARS and the radiological assessment direct line, both -
l of which will have line extensions in the EOF. ,
I Public Infcrmation Spokesperson - In GRUNDY COUNTY and each municipality therein, a spokesperson has been made responsible for.
- public infcrmation. The spokesperson will provide timely inform-
- ation
- to the GRUNDY COUNTY ESDA COORDINATOR,' or his designee, for
! coordination of local releases with the JPIC. The PIO at the STATE I EOC coordinates State level information with the JPIC, 960 Ncrth i Route 47, south of Morris, IL.; This network will. provide timely, coordinated information to all designated spokespersons.- {
Ruror Control - Rumor control will be addressed at the-lowest
- governmental level possible.. In those instances where a local i government cannot control local rumors, the ' State rumor ' control .
- network will be utilized. Personnel from. IIS~will operate dedi- .
i cated telephone lines at the STATE EOC and at the JPIC. The State ruror control network telephone numbers will be' announced to lccal 1 governments in the- EPZ 'anq are not- to' be released to the general public. As time permits,. rumors referred -to the State r'urior control network will be answered directly by IIS personnel. At all
- other , times, the response to rumors will- be incorporated into the
! next media update - provided at the JPIC and the GOVERN 0R'.S ' press ,
center in SPRINGFIELD (See Vol. I, Ch. 8).
Public Infomation Booklet . As a collective effort between j.
the STATE OFanILLlh015.
governments, informational the operating (utility booklet. See Vol.and'I, affected Ch. 8) will ' county be distributed on"an annual basis to the public residing within the
!. mile EPZ of the BRAIDWOOD STATION. .The booklet will address
} how the public will be notified and what their actions should'be in i
, an emergency, including the following information: instructions on

In addition to a direct mailing, the booklet will be available at area hotels and motels, recreational areas, schools, industries, health care and nursing facilities, public libraries, local ESDA offices and local utility offices (See Vol. I, Ch. 8).
< Annual Press Briefings - To acquaint the news media with the IPRA-Braidwood, press briefings will be held annually. The brief-ing will discuss the following topics: OVERVIEW OF THE IPRA-BRAID-WOOD, CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS, ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION SCHEME, COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK, PROTECTIVE AND PARALLEL ACTIONS and PUBLIC INFORMATION (See Vol. I, Ch. 8). In addition, the media will be given a portfolio of handouts and will be able to ask questions of the representatives of State and local governments and the utility.
