L 0 INTRODUCTION The NHRERP provides for a range of protective responses that may be implemented to protect the health and safety of the public, including summer, seasonal populations. Further, this range of responses has the flexibility to ensure dose savings in response to a wide spectrum of accident conditions.

The concept of protective action recommendation decisionmaking employe3 by the NHRERP is patterned on the emergency planning guidance of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1 and emergency planning regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Protective Action Guides (PAGs) of the U.S.

}

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been incorporated in the NHRERP and provisions have been made for calculation of projected dose which permits reliance on the PAGs for protective action decisionmaking. Decision criteria have been developed and committed to procedures to aid accident assessment personnel and decisionmakers in making choices among available protective action options including that of sheltering.

The NMRERP provides for precautionary actions intended to avoid exposure of the beach population to potential radiological risk. Plans and procedurea, including decision criteria, have been put into place specifically for

() implementation of these measures. Accident assessment

personnel of the State of New Hampshire are prepared by procedures and training to ascertain from utility emergency response personnel the status and prognosis of plant conditions and safety systems for the purpose of recommending precautionary actions prior to the manifestation of radiological consequences.

While the preferred protective action for the seasonal beach population is the precautionary measure of early beach closure or evacuation, the State of New Hampshire is prepared to recommend the protective action of sheltering in a limited f

number of circumstances. These are described in the New Hampshire Response to FEMA Supplemental Testimony, Enclosure i i to letter of Richard H. Strome to Henry G. Vickers dated February 11, 1988 (Appendix 1 to this testimony).

The NHRERP provides the method and means to ensure j prompt notification of the summer, seasonal population of precautionary and protective actions to be taken. This is primarily accomplished by a system of fixed sirens providing coverage of the New Hampshire portion of the Seabrook Station EPZ. In addition, sirens providing coverage for beach areas of concern have public address capability for which a taped, f voice message containing instructions for the beach population has been developed. Each campground in the EPZ f will be offered a tone-alert radio to supplement notification by the siren system. Both beach areas and campgrounds will be supplied with public information materials in the form of (O (

~

durable signs in the beach area, posters, and brochures that

[(

provide instructions to the public on actions to take in an

( emergency.

The NHRERP will include a special facility plan for each

[ campground in the EPZ. These plans are to call for campground operators to ensure that campground users are notified of an emergency. The campground operators will either close the campgrounds as a precautionary measure or

(

evacuate them based on the protective action recommended for the general population. Campground users constitute neither a significantly large segment of the population nor an inordinate concentration of persons in any one area of the EPZ so as to impede their rapid departure from the EPZ in the "T event of an emergency.

(O The NHRERP, Volume 1, Section 2.6.5, contains a discussion of the relative, representative values of dose

( reduction factors for typical structures to be found in the Seabrook Station EPZ. This discussion concludes that essentially any residential structure in the Seabrook Station EPZ affords a dose reduction factor of at least 0.9 which is assumed by the NHRERP for the purpose of choosing between the protective action options of evacuation and sheltering.

Furthermore , schools and day care centers are presumed to share the characteristics of structures that prevail in f the Seabrook Station EPZ and to have at least the same dose reduction factors. Because protective action recommendations

-3 -

I for the general public apply also to schools and day care centers, evaluation of the protection affcrded by the individual structures is not considered as part of the decisionmaking process.

PLANNING BASIS FOR PROTECTIVE ACTIONS ,

The NHRERP Volume 1 and the local plans, Volumes 16 through 32, and specifically plans for the Towns of Seabrook

( and Hampton, Volumes 16 and 18 respectively, provide for a range of responses that may be implemented to protect the health and safety of the public, including the summer, seasonal populations, in the event of a radiological emergency. This range of responses has the flexibility to achieve dose savings in response to a wide spectrum of conditions.

The plans are premised on the basic concept of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1 that any one or a combination of responses will be taken to achieve the maximum dose savings to the public. The responses prescribed by the NHRERP range from precautionary actions for the beach population at the early stages of an emergency to the protective actions for the general public of shelter, evacuation, and control of access to affected areas.

1. Concept of Protective Action Decisionmaking

a. Purpose of Protective Actions f The NHRERP is based on the planning guidance of NUREG-0654, which states at page 6:

O q

fr s The overall objective of emergency response plans is to provide dose satings

'()

(and in some cases immediate life saving) for a spectrum of accidents that could produce offsite doses in excess of Protective Action Guides (PAGs).

The NHRERP is predicated on the understanding that emergency planning for a nuclear plant is not required to be

( designed to address any particular accident sequence or a "worst case accident".

NUREG-0654 states further at page 6:

No specific accident sequence should be

( isolated as the one for which to plan because each accident could have different consequences, both in degree and nature.

(

The protective action decision criteria of the NHRERP take into consideration plant conditions, evacuation clear p/

- times, dose reduction factors, and other conditions that may exist at the time of an accident.

b. Protective Action Guides and Projected Doses Protective Action Guides (PAGs) are criteria provided for use by public health officials and decisionmakers to determine the need for protective actions and for choosing appropriate protective actions. The U.S. EPA promulgated PAGs on the basis of projected doses which act as trigger points to initiate protective actions. The U.S. EPA Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, EPA - 520/1-75-001, cautions:

A Protective Action Guide under no circumstance implies an acceptable dose.

Since the PAG is based on projected dose,

{}

L it is used only in an ex post facto g (,,) effort to minimize the risk from an event

'~ which is occurring or has already occurred.

(Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Action for Nuclear Incidents, U.S. EPA, September 1975 (Revised June 1980), pg. 1.1.) In sum, PAGs are guidance tools for use by decisionmakers and are not levels of acceptable or

(

unacceptable risks.

( The NHRERP Volume 1, Section 2.6.3 incorporates the U.S.

EPA PAGs for direct exposure to radioactive materials within the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ. The range of PAG doses delineated by the U.S. EPA for the general public are indicated in Table 2.6-1 of the NHRERP. The guidelines ,

incorporated in Table 2.6-1 consider the most sensitive O(_/ members of the general population: women who are pregnant and infants. As expressed in Section 2.6.3, New Hampshire has chosen to base its protective action decisions on the lowest values cited by the U.S. EPA, that is, a 1 rem whole-body projected dose, and a 5 rem thyroid projected dose.

In order to utilize the PAGs, projected doses to the general public must be determined. Projected doses must be determined following the incident based on data from (1) plant conditions, (2) release and meteorological conditions, (3) offsite radiological measurements, or (4) combinations of these three factors. (Manual of Protective Action Guides, U.S. EPA, p. 5.1.) The NHRERP, Volume 1, Section 2.5.2 provides for estimating the projected doses for the Plume

/

l Exposure Pathway EPZ and for reporting projected doses as (J~')

quickly as possible in terms of whole body and thyroid doses.

NHRERP, Volume 1, Section 2.5.3 describes the means by which State of New Hampshire officials will determine projected doses. Calculation techniques for this purpose are explicated in procedures contained in NHRERP, Volume 4A, Appendices N, 0, P, and Q. Each of these procedures incorporates the factors identified in the U.S. EPA Manual for determining projected dose.

c. Protective Action Recommendation Decisionmaking for the General Public NUREG-0654, criterion J. 9 provides that:

(

Each State and local organization shall establish a capability for implementing protective measures based upon protective action guides and other criteria. This O- shall be consistent with the recommendations of EPA regarding exposure resulting from passage of radioactive airborne plumes . . . .

The utility will classify an event based on plant conditions. At a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency classification level, predesignated plant conditions will result in specific protective action recommendations from the utility to the State of New Hampshire. If the event is classified as a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency, and plant conditions do not result in a specific protective action recommendation from the utility to the State, then the appropriate protective action will be reached by utilizing

the decision criteria described in modified Section 2.6.7, as

( I

-7 -

l

p f-~ discussed infra. These criteria are used by decisionmakers for choosing between sheltering and evacuation, and are sufficiently flexible to be applied to any type of projected or actual release from a nuclear power plant. The decision criteria depicted in modified Figure 2.6-7 of the NHRERP consider the time to release, time of plume arrival at a specified location, time of exposure at the reference location, projected dose, EPA PAGs, time available to make protective action decision, time available to implement protective actions, constraints to implementation of protective action decision, and dose reduction factors pertinent to either sheltering or evacuation. At the final decision step in the process, the decision criteria call for detailed analysis and calculations to determine the G('T comparative effectiveness of shelter and evacuation.

NHRERP, Volume 4A, Appendix U contains procedures to be used by accident assessment personnel of the New Hampshire Division of Public Health Services (DPHS) in applying the NHRERP decision criteria. A revision to this procedure is being incorporated into an update of the NHRERP and is provided as Attachment 1. The State of New Hampshire protective action decisionmaking procedures recognize that the utility will evaluate plant status at the Site Area Emergency and General Emergency classification le/els which may result in a protective action recommendation. DPHS accident assessment personnel at the State Incident Field O -

Operations Facility (EOF) in Newington, New Hampshire, will

The State Emergency Operations Center (EOC), IFO, and EOF are activated at the Alert emergency classification level. Prior to the activation of these facilities, the DPHS

after being notified of an emergency classification level.

The data to be obtained are identified on the notification form utilized by both utility and Division of Public Health

(} Services' procedures. These data will be evaluated by State of New Hampshire accident assessment personnel and decisionmakers to determine the advisability of precautionary actions. Accident assessment will be initiated at the State EOC and continued through the duration of an emergency at both the State EOC and at the IFO/ EOF. DPHS accident assessment personnel at the IFO/ EOF will receive firsthand projected dose data and field measurement data, assess the data with utility accident assessment personnel in conjunction with emergency management personnel, perform independent calculations of projected doses and formulate

{

protective action recommendations to be conveyed to the State

EOC where the public protective action recommendation O -9_

L r

L decision will be made.

d. Decisionmaking Criteria for Seasonal Beach Populations The protective action decision criteria discussed in NHRERP, Volume 1, modified Section 2.6.7, contain decision criteria designed for summer, seasonal populations, including seasonal beach populations. Thase decision criteria incorporate considerations for precautionary actions for the summer, seasonal population based on the status and prognosis of plant conditions. These provisions of the NHRERP represent a cautious approach to the implementation of the emergency planning requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and

(

guidance of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1. They are intended to remove the beach population before the potential for exposure beyond the PAGs exists. To accomplish this, they are implemented bcsed on plant status and conditions that may lead to a release as determined by accident assessment personnel of the utility and conveyed to State of New Hampshire decisionmakers.

The NHRERP, Volume 1, Section 2.5.2 advises accident i assessment personnel that complete radiological assessment data may not be available or no release may yet be projected when they are considering early, precautionary actions for the summer, seasonal population. Therefore, the current plant status and a prognosis of anticipated plant conditions would be the best indicator of the need for precautionary

)

actions. Procedures contained in NHRERP, Volume 4A, as u

modified, facilitate consideration of plant status and prognosis of plant conditions by providing for early reporting of plant status data by the utility emergency organization to State of New Hampshire emergency management and public health officials.

State of New Hampshire accident assessment personnel and decisionmakers will consider implementation of precautionary measures as early as the Alert emergency classification level. The description of Alert in NUREG-0654, Appendix 1, says in part:

Any releases (at this classification level are) expected to be limited to small fraction of the EPA Protective Action Guidance exposure levels.

At this classification level, no offsite action would be ordinarily warranted to protect the public, but its consideration here affords additional time to clear the beaches or prevent additional public access to the beaches.

The decision criteria of the NHRERP are not intended to dictate automatic implementation of precautionary actions at this classification level. They are intended to facilitate the exercise of judgment on the part of New Hampshire accident assessment personnel and decisionmakers as to the most prudent course of action given the particular circumstances of an accident situation.

The NHRERP, Revision 2, Volume 1, Section 2.6.7 is being updated to reference the emergency classification and plant conditions under which precautionary and protective action O

I recommendations would be made (Attachment 2). Figure 2.6-6 of the NHRERP, as modified, see Attachment 2, indicates that for these conditions during periods of summer, seaconal population, the recommended precautionary action would be closure or evacuation of Hampton and Seabrook beaches. The intent of this provision is the implementation of measures for the beach population at the first indication of a potential for offsite populations to be affected. Under these conditions, any projected doses to the public would be expected to be below the lowest values of the EPA PAGs. At the Site Area Emergency classification level, offsite protective actions would not be expected to be necessary to protect the public. At this classification level, however, the State will recommend precautionary or protective actions for the beach population. The description of Site Area Emergency of NUREG-0654, Appendix 1 provides foundation for this decisionmaking concept where it says:

Any releases (are] not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near site boundary.

The emergency classification levels are intended to be anticipatory in nature, They are initiated by plant conditions that allow anticipation of later consequences if conditions are not mitigated. Decisionmakers are thereby led to appropriate courses of action before offsite consequences are expected.

In summary, to reach a protective action recommendation, O -

12 -

"T the initial consideration is based on plant conditions. If a (O

recommendation is not made as a result of plant conditions, then projected doses will be calculated and compared to the PAGs.

2. Implementation of Precautionary and Protective Actions for the Summer, Seasonal Population Actions prescribed for implementation of precautionary I

and protective actions for the public, and specifically for the seasonal beach population, are contained in appendices to both the New Hampshire Office of Emergency Management and the Division of Public Health Services procedures .(Volume 4, Appendix F and Volume 4A, Appendix U as modified). These procedures establish explicit actions for implementation of early, precautionary measures and protective actions for the Hampton and Seab: ook beaches.

a. Public Alert and Notification A key provision for initiation of protective actions is prompt notification of the public. This is achieved by activation of a system of fixed sirens situated throughout the 17 New Hampshire communities. These sirens provide audible alert coverage of the New Hampshire EPZ communities.

For beach areas where precautionary actions may be recommended (i.e., Hampton and Seabrook beaches), sirens have been designated for potential activation in early stages of an emergency for the purpose of initiating precautionary actions. Procedures are in place for these sirens to sound i

an alert signal and to broadcast a voice message in both N

f English and French to advise beach populations of actions they should take. Procedures provide for immediate (within 15 minutes of the State's decision) activation of the audible alert system by either Rockingham County Dispatch Center or as a backup, by the Towns of Hampton and Seabrook after precautionary or protective action decisions are made for beach areas.

Activation of the audible alert signal would be followed by a voice message over the siren public address system containing emergency instructions for the public. The script of the voice message is: "Attention . . . Attention . . .

Because of a problem at Seabrook Station, the beaches are now closed. Please leave the beach immediately. Listen to a local radio station for more information." (NHRERP, Vol. 16, pg. IV-18h; Vol. 18, pg. IV-269.)

In addition to the audible alert system, a series of permanent signs which display emergency instructions will be posted in recreation areas, including on the beaches, throughout the EPZ. Currently 18 locations for placement of these signs have been identified in cooperation with the NH Department of Resources and Economic Development. The instructions explain what to do,when sirens are heard and identify the emergency broadcast e M ions from which further information and instructions can be obtained. This information is also displayed in both English and French.

Additional public information materials containing the same O l

s

/

( information, again in both languages, will be available to transients at motels, hotels, and business establishments throughout the EPZ.

Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) messages would be broadcast at 15-minute intervals over radio stations identified on the public information signs and in other informational materials for transients. The content of the SBS message would depend on the actions recommended by State of New Hampshire decisionmakers. EBS messages containing instructions for the transient population, including transients without their own means of transportation, are presently being prepared,

b. Precautionary Actions Precautionary actions planned for implementation for Hampton and Seabrook beaches are delineated in NHRERP, Volume 4, Appendix F and Volume 4A, Appendix U as modified in Attachment 1. (See also generally Appendix 1.) Those actions pertain particularly to the beach areas in an approximate 2-mile radius of seabrook Station, in other

)

words, those areas that could potentially be most immediately affected. This area is bounded by Great Boar's Head at Hampton Beach to the north and the New Hampshire-Massachusetts border at Route 286 and Ocean Boulevard at Seabrook Beach to the south. (The procedures contained in NHRERP, Rev. 2, define the northern boundary of this area as Little Boar's Head which is in North Hampton. The plan anr1 O

f I 1

s f

,Ces procedures are being amended to identify this boundary as L

Great Boar's Head which is consistent with traffic control and public notification provisions for precautionary actions for the beach.)

Precautionary actions prescribed for this area are:

(1) Closing beaches that attract seasonal populations and which are in close proximity to the plant; (2) Implementation of traffic control to discourage transient traffic from flowing into the affected areas, including beach areas; (3) Issuance of public announcements of actions taken through emergency broadcast and norraal media channels; and (4) Monitoring of traffic flow and local conditions in affected areas.

To facilitate implementation of these actions, the following arrangements have been made:

(1) The Department of Resources and Economic Development (DRED), which has jurisdiction over State beaches and parks, has been designated to assist with closing beaches and parks and adjacent parking areas under its control.

Procedures are in place for DRED to utilize lifeguards, park managers, and other available personnel for this purpose.

(2) Specific traffic control points have been designated for State and local police to discourage access of

{

transient traffic into beach areas and to facilitate egress of outgoing traffic. These points are specified for O

s I

n implementation of early precautionary actions.

(3) Procedures are in place at the Rockingham County Dispatch Center and in the RERPs for the Towns of Hampton and Seabrook for activation of public alert sirens and public announcements for the beaches. Additionally, public information personnel at both the Media Center and the State EOC are activated at the Alert classification to issue public announcements to the media.

(4) Utility, State and local emergency response

( organizations will be activated at the Alert Emergency classification level, to monitor conditions in the plant and in potentially affected areas.

c. Evacuation As A Protective Action In the event that accident conditions preclude implementation of early precautionary measures for the beach

(

populations, evacuation continues to be the preferred

( response. NHRERP, Volume 1, Section 2.6, at page 2.6-11 says:

( If all potential radiological exposure can be avoided by implementing a timely evacuation, evacuation may be the preferred protective action. Where implementation of protective action is deemed appropriate, and where time and plant conditions permit, evacuation will generally be the selected course of action.

Numerous factors can influence the effectiveness of evacuation. They include the delay time between accident warning and initiation of evacuation, the radius within which f

s

(

L the public is evacuated, evacuation speed, and changing

'}

meteorological conditions during the evacuation.

Specific and detailed procedures are provided in the NHRERP to ensure early notification and evacuation of the beach population. Administrative provision for and coordination of emergency instructions to be broadcast have been provided in NHRERP, Volume 1, Section 2.1, and Volume 4, NHCDA procedures, and Volume 4B, State Police Communications Center procedures to ensure the flexibility to get the most appropriate message aired in a timely manner for the spectrum of accident conditions. The conditions covered by these provisions range from when the emergency organizations are fully staffed and are following a slowly developing situation

() to the case when a severe situation is developing rapidly i prior to emergency organizations being able to fully staff or assess the situation.

d. Shelter-in-Place (1) General Considerations NHRERP, Volume 1, Section 2.6.5 sets forth the shelter-in-placo concept on which New Hampshire relies as a protective action option. The use of sheltering as a protective action for the beach population is dealt with in Appendix 1. The shelter-in-place concept provides for sheltering at the location in which the sheltering instruction is received. The NHRERP, Volume 1, at page 2.6-6 explains this to mean:

O

s L

ses Those at home are to shelter at home,

[(,) those at work or school are to shelter in the work place or school building.

Transients located indoors or in private homes will be asked to shelter at the

( locations they are visiting if this is feasible. Transients without access to an indoor location will be advised to evacuate as quickly as possible in their own vehicles (i.e., the vehicles in which they arrived).

Beach closure or evacuation of the beach areas are the preferred courses of action for the beach population.

{

Sheltering as a protective action option for this segment of

( the population would be considered in only a very limited number of circumstances characterized by one or more of the following conditions as described on pp. 7-8 of Appendix 1:

1. Dose Savings Sheltering could be recommended when it would be p(> the most effective option in achieving maximum dose reduction. New Hampshire has chosen to base its protective action decision on the lowest values nited by EPA guidance, that is 1 rem whole body dose and 5 rem thyroid dose. The protective action guidelines contained in EPA 520/1-75-001, Manual of Protective Action Guides for Nuclear Incidents, Revised 1980, have been adopted in the protective action procedures of Appendix F and Appendix U.

2. Consideration of Local Conditions The protective action recommendation procedure of the NHRERP ((modified) Appendix F, Volume 4 and Appendix U, Volume 4A) considers impediments to evacuation when evacuation is the result of the detailed evaluation utilized in the decision-making process.

3. Transients Without Transportation i

When evacuation is the recommended protective action for the beach population, certain transients may be without their own means of transportation.

Shelter will be recommended for this category of

)

L fO b

transients to ensure they have recourse to some protection while awaiting transportation assistance.

For implementation of this protective action option under any of the three conditions, New Hampshire decisionmakers will rely on the mechanisms now in place, or to be put in place, in the NHRERP for recommending shelter to the public whether on the beach or any place else. These

( mechanisms include rapid assessment of accident conditions; activation of the public alert system, which include the beach public address system; and EBS announcements. It is expected that people will comply with EBS announcements to take shelter and that owners / operators of public access facilities will make their facilities available for this very 11 it a ourvo -

(O (2) Transients Without Transportation When evacuation is the recommended protective action for the beach population, certain transients may be without their own means of transportation. Their number is estimated at 2%

of the peak beach population, as set forth in NHRERP, Volume 6, page 2-in. Recent estimates of the peak beach population for Hampton and Seabrook were made using the results of vehicle occupancy rate surveys and counts of projected peak number of vehicles. The summer weekend peak population estimates calculated 23,841 for Hampton Beach South and 7,398 l for Seabrook Beach. Using the 2% estimate and the peak population figures yields estimates of peak numbers of O I

s f

L transients without transportation of 477 at Hampton Beach and 148 at Seabrook Beach. These are considered to be peak numbers because they do not take into account ride sharing which FEMA's Regional Assistance Committee advises is a significant factor in estimating transportation resource requirements. With ride sharing considered, it is believed that more than enough capacity exists for all transients without their own transportation. However, bus routes have been planned and sufficient bus resources identified to

( provide transportation for persons in the beach areas including summer transients who may lack their own. The NHRERP is being amended to provide protection to the transients while they are awaiting transportation assistance.

p The NHRERP will identify potential shelter locations for (V the transient beach population without transportation. The shelter study referenced in Section (3), infra, was provided f to the State as a resource document. In its review, the State found the document to be of some value. It identified a large number of shelters that may serve as a pool from which public shelter choices will be made. The appropriate EBS message will be modified to provide for instructions to persons on the beach who have no means of transportation to go to public shelters to await assistance in the event evacuation of the beach is recommended. Appendix 1, pg. 10.

L Areas Near Seabrook Station August, 1987," was performed for New Hampshire Yankee by Stone & Webster Engineering

( Corporation. This study was performed to identify and approximate sheltering capacities that appear to be suitable for use by the beach population alcng the Massachusetts and New Hampshire EPZ coastlines. This study is provided as Applicants' profiled Exhibit 2. An analysis of this study has been performed by New Hampshire Yankee and is provided as

(

Attachment 3.

The State of New Hampshire does not intend at this time to incorporate the August, 1987 Stone & Webster Shelter Study

( or the analysis of this study into the NHRERP nor rely on the shelter study as a planning basis. As a compilation of available resources, the shelter study may be used to assist f in identifying those public buildings to which beach transients without their own means of transportation may be directed for shelter while awaiting transportation assistance.

3. Implementation of Protective Actions for Campgrounds Specific plans for special facilities within the Seabrook Station EPZ are contained in appendices to the local plans of the NHRERP, Volumes 16 - 32. These appendices are labeled Appendix F of Volumes 16 - 32. Appendix F will include plans for campgrounds located in the respective municipalities. The plans are to identify the campgrounds to which they pertain and contain descriptive information about O

s k

re the campgrounds. They are also to explain the method of LN notification and the actions to be taken.

a. Notification

(

All campgrounds in the New Hampshire portion of the EPZ

[ are covered by the system of fixed sirens. As a supplement to the sirens, campgrounds will be offered tone.-alert radios which will enable proprietors or managers to be advised of any protective measures recommended for the public. The

[

tone-alert radios are activated by the EBS radio signal over f which emergency instructions will be transmitted. A supply.

of public information materials, including posters and brochures, will be provided to all campgrounds; and the plans call for campground operators to ensure that public information materials containing emergency instructions are available for users of their facilities.

(

Therefore, there are two methods of notification. One is the siren signal. Second, the operators will be alerted by tone-alert radios which provide notification and emergency instructions.

b. Actions The campground plans provide that at a Site Area or General Emergency, campgrounds may be directed to undertake a protective response or to close on a precautionary basis. If the facility is advised to close as a precaution or if there is a sheltering recommendation announced for any part of the O - - _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _

s r

EPZ, campground operators would instruct campers to leave the

.g area.

If an evacuation is recoranended in any part of the EPZ, campground operators *;ould make an accounting of all current k users of the campground and instruct campers to evacuate the area by evacuation routes specified in the campground plan.

[ The total maximum capacity of campgrounds in the Seabrook Station EPZ is approximately 8500 campers. This maximum capacity of campground users is distributed over a

( total of 1889 camp sites in 18 campgrounds situated within 11 of the 17 municipalities of the Seabrook Station EPZ. Thus, campground users constitute neither a significantly large number nor an inordinate concentration of persons in any one area of the EPZ. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that campground users would be able to depart the area

(

rapidly whether this was to occur prior to an evacuation of the general population or during such an evacuation. Maximum total vehicle capacity of campgrounds is approximately 2950, or 1 vehicle for every 2.9 campers. Five of these campgrounds are day and youth camp 3 for which nineteen buses have been allocated. Consequently, there is ample vehicle capacity for campground users to depart from the area.

4. Sheltering for the General Public

a. Concept of Shelter-in-Place As explained previously, New Hampshire employs the shelter-in-place concept as a protective action option for O

s c

the general public. This concept provides for short-term sheltering at the location in which the sheltering Those at home are to shelter at

( instruction is received.

home, those at work or school are to be sheltered in the work place or school building.

Except for institutionalized populations, sheltering and evacuation will be implemented on a municipality by municipality basis in New Hampshire. One town may be advised to take shelter, while an abutting town is advised to

[ evacuate or take no protective action. Therefore, shelter areas in New Hampshire are defined as municipalities. The

( decision to implement sheltering or evacuation of a particular municipality in the EPZ would be based on a prediction that projected doses to the general population f would equal or exceed EPA PAGs for these areas.

b. Assessment of Existing Shelter Adequacy

( The NHRERP, Volume 1, Table 2.6-4 provides representative values of cloud dose reduction factors for typical structures that can be found in the Seabrook Station EPZ. On the basis of these values, New Hampshire decisionmakers can approximate the level of protection that would be afforded to the population by a protective action recommendation to shelter. The values range from 0.2 or less (80% protection) for large office or industrial type buildings to 0.9 (10% protection) for wood-frame houses with no basements. Based on the documents, Structure Shieldina O

I l

from Cloud and Fallout Gamma Rav Sources for Assessina the a O Consecuences of Reactor Accidents, EG&G, Inc., Las Vegas, Nevada, EGG-1183-1670 (1975) and Public Protection Stratecies for Potential Nuclear Reactor Accidents: Shelterina Concents With Existina Public and Private Shelters by Aldrich, et al.,

February 1978, and their analysis of typical structures to be found in the Northeast region of the United States, Seabrook Station EPZ structures have a cloud dose reduction factor of at least 0.9; and this is, therefore, a reasonable dose reduction factor to be assumed by the NHRERP. As an assumed dose reduction factor, New Hampshire decisionmakers would apply this factor to calculations of projected doses to determine the level of protection that would be provided by implementation of sheltering. The only exceptions to this gg rule are certain institutions, including hospitals, nursing homes, and correctional facilities, where risks from evacuation are higher than that for the general population.

For these institutions, shielding factors of the individual structures have been determined and would be applied to calculation of projected doses to the resident populations according to instructions contained in NHRERP, Volume 4A, Appendix U.

(1) Shelter Effectiveness of Residences in the Seabrook Station EPZ Because of their location in the Northeast region of the United States, year-round residences in the Seabrook Station EPZ residences can be expected to consist of substantial

s t

N 9^s construction materials and to be of airtight construction, i Ld Essentially any indoor location, even a wood-frame house with no basement, provides at least a 10% reduction for a cloud

(

source. This assessment of the relative shelter effectiveness of structures in the Seabrook Station EPZ indi. cates that typical residential structures afford a cloud shielding factor of at least 0.9.

(2) Shelter Effectiveness of Schools and Day Care

{ Centers It is reasonable to assume that schools and day care centers share the prevailing characteristics of typical structures of the Seabrook Station EPZ, and are airtight,

(

winterized structures.

Further, because protective action recommendations for O

(_/ the general population are applied to schools and day care f

centers, evaluation of protection afforded by these structures would neither make them more suitable for

{

sheltering, nor affect the choice of the sheltering option.

Specific protective action recommendations would not be made for schools (which, for the purpose of the plan, include day care centers) based on the relative sheltering factors of their structures. The NHRE7P explicitly says in NHRERP, Volume 4A, Appendix U that sheltering factors other than 0.9 are not to be considered for school facilities. Schools (and day care centers) will follow the same protective actions prescribed for the ganeral population.

Dear Mr. Vickers:

In the Succletental Testimony of Dave McLouchlin, Edward A. Thomas and william R. Cumino on Behalf of the Federal Emercency Management Acency on Shelterino/ Beach Peculatien Issues, filed c January 25, 1988, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) stated its current position with respect to its review of selected portions of the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan (NHRERP). FEMA summarized its position as follows:

Briefly put, FEMA's position is (a) that it is appropriate to consider further the adequacy of the emergency response plan for the transient population of the beaches within the Seabrook Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) during the sumer, that is, from May 15 to September 15, as indicated in the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan (NHRERP); (b) that the requirement of NUREG 0654/ FEMA REP 1, Rev.1, for a "range of protective actions" may or may not be satisfied by evacuation

, alone; (c) that FEMA cannot concluce tnat tne NHRERP is adequate with respect to that beach population until it is clear that the State of New Hampshire has considered the use of sheltering for the transient beach population and explains what use, if any, it intends to make of ,

sheltering. This latter point should not be interpreted to mean that FEMA l has imposed a requirement that sheltering be available. If the State of l

New Hampshire intends not to employ sheltering for the transient beach population (which is not presently clear from the NHRERP), then FEuA h expects the State to develop the rationale for such a choice and provide it to FEMA for review.

k) During the January 28, 1988 conference call among the parties in the Seabrook Operating License Proceeding, the State of New Hampshire indicated that it would respond, within two weeks, to the concerns raised by FEMA in its

{

supolemental testimony. The State's resocnse to FEMA's questions about l

protective actions for the Seabrock EPZ beach ecoulation is set forth in the f accompanying enclosure.

New Hampshire accreciates the coments and assistance provided by FEMA relative to the New Hampshire Sheltering policy. We believe the enclosed material addresses the concerns raised and we welcome the continued

{ opportunity to work in concert with FEVA in develeping quality emergency plans for the people of New Hampshire.

e Enclosure 1 KJ New Hampshire Response to FEMA Supplemental Testimony

(

At Volume 1, Section 2.6, the plan addresses "protective response." The

( plan explains that the oojective of protective responses by tne State is "...

to centrol the radiological exposures to which the puolic may ce suojected in the event of a significant release of radiological materials from a fixed nuclear facility." The section explains that there are various radiation exposure pathways, ano outlines the federal protective action guices (PAGs) for both plume exposure EPZs anc ingestion pathway EPZs. At Section 2.6.5,

(

the plan outlines tne specific protective actions adopted by the State for

( reducing direct exposure of the puolic within the plume exposure EPZ.

I New Hampsnire will rely on two protective actions for limiting the direct exposure of the general public within the Plume Exposure EPZ. These are sheltering and evacuation. Either of these protective actions will be coupled witn access control to prevent unauthorized entry into the area in which the protective action is being implemented. (NHRERP Vol 1. p. 2.6-4)

( This general statement of policy was drafted to be the basis of state policy for either of the two nuclear power plants with plume exposure EPZs within the State. It snould not be inferred from this statement of policy, however, that. sheltering is afforded the sate weight as evacuation as a means to effect dose savings. Subsequent portions of the plan descrice the relative merits of the two protective actions and descrices the rationale and procedures for choosing protective actions. Sheltering is a protective action of limited usefulness in realizing dose savings for the population, regardless of the season. For a limited range of conditions, however, the protective action of sheltering is not without benefits.

b Appendix 2, Page 4 of 47 Sneltering is a valuaole protective respense for several reasons. It can t) ce imlerented quickly, usually in a matter of minutes. In aedition, it is less expensive and less disruptive of normal activities tnan evacuation. Implementation and management of sneltering is also less I

( demanding on the resources of the emergency response organization since no I venicles, traffic control and dispatening of equipped e ergency worxers is l required. (NHRERP, Rev. 2, Vol. 1 at p. 2.6-5)

[

To make sure sneltering is fast and easily managed, as tnis stateme ;

( intends, tne State has acepted a specific sheltering concept. l l

"New Hampshire employs tne 'Snelter-in-Place' concept. Inis provices for sneltering at tne 1ccation in which the sheltering instructicn is received. Those at home are to shelter at home; those at wor < or scncol

( are to be sneltered in the wor < place or scncol cuiloing. Transients located indoors er in private homes will oe asked to snelter at tne locations tney are visiting if tnis is feasicle. Transients without access to an incoor location will ce advised to evacuate as quickly as

( possicle in tneir can venicles (i.e., the vehicles in *nich tney arrived). Ceparting transients will ce advised to close tne windcas of

[ their vehicles and use recirculating air until they have cleared tne area l suoject to radiation. If necessary, transients without transoortation may seek directions to a nearby puolic ouilding from local emergency workers. (NHREPP vol 1. p. 2.6-6)

[O Implicit in adopting this position are tnree key factors. First, the State wanted a sheltering concept that was uncomplicated and manageaole. Tne shelter-in-place concept meets this criterion. Second, the State wanted a f

sheltering ccncept that it could rely upon to be implemented qJickly. The q snelter-in-place concept meets this criterion; a sheltering concept tnat requires the movement of people to a remote shelter location may not. Third, l the State feels that if a release of radiation warranted movement of tne puolic, they are much more likely to be afforded meaningful dose reductions by moving out of the EPZ than by moving to a shelter within the EPZ. This is tne case since the memcers of tne public would ce, in effect, "evacuating" to a shelter. This action would require forming family groups or social units O prior to avins, de=icins whether to seek shetter or evecuete spenteneousix, choosing a mode of transportation (i.e., walk or ride), seeking a destination (i.e., home or shelter), and undertaking the physical movement.

Appandix 1, Pago 5 of 47 Furthermore, since sheltering is a temporary protective action, those that sought public shelter would be faced with the prospect of assuming seme dose 1 while seeking shelter, more wnile sneltering, and even more during a

(

sucsequent evacuation. Such considerations dissuade tne state from consicering the movement of large numoers of people to public snelters as a primary protective action for beacn transients, given tnat evacuation is seen k as providing dose savings in nearly all accident scenarios.

(

Tnis position cces not preclude tne State from considering and selecting l

[ sheltering as a protective action for tne ceach population. Nevertheless, evacuation is a mucn more likely prctective action cecision during tne summer

( months when some Deach transients cannot shelter in place, but must leave or move to public shelters.

O Tnrougn tne RAC review process, FEMA made it known to the State tnat it was concerned about a snelter-in-place concept that could, in fact, result in a hasty evacuation of the transient beach population snortly before, or during, a release. For example, the FEMA technical review connents on the

( Decemcer 1984 draft of the FMERP contained the following comment regarding the ceach population:

(

f Early access control and beach instructions may have to be implemented, and this must be considered in advance both in terms of protective action decision making and puolic notification of such.

At FEMA's suggestion, the State, in Revision 0 to the fMERP, adopted additional means fc,i: addressing this concern. Those means consist of closing O or evacuatino tre eeacnes and establishins access contro1 as ear 1x "precautionary actions." The precautionary action process is a detailed

s Appsndix 1, Pago 6 of 47 r

u procedure used by decision makers from May 15 thrcugh Septemcer 15, tne mentns r(]

kJ in whien there is potential for a significant beacn populction.

The procedure a aises cecision makers to close the teaches during Alert or close or evacuate the beaches during Site Area Emergency conditions cefore protective action This would mean tnat the ceacn population would considerations are aarrantec.

availaollity of the precauticnary acticn procedure is cite: in Section 2.6.5 of the plan:

{

"The concitions under ahicn sucn an action may ce taken are cescrioed in thRERP Vol. A t HCDA Procedures, Appendl.x F."

A copy of tne precautionary action proceduta is attacned. (See: Attachment I).

The acdition of these precautionary measures alleviates most Concerns A

V a out sheltering the beach population. The State's position is based, in part, upon the RAC evaluation of the State Response to the RAC review of t1HRERP Rev. 2. At page 64/134, the RAC evaluation stated:

According to the State response and the plan revisions, the useThe of puolic only snelters is not proposed during a Seacrook Station emergency.

[ transients witheat transportation.

'without access to an Theindoor use oflocation' will be or public buildings advised to evacuate sneltering of in their own venicles.

transients without transportation is acceptacle since the transients without trsnsportation are expected to be a very small numoer.

{

These precautionary actions and the State emphasis on getting tne populaticn out early are consistent with actions planned at other nuclear power plant sites with transient populations.

'^ Once a General Emergency is declared, State of New Hampshire CeCision

\ /

makers begin a detailed evaluation of the protective actions to be recedended. Since the General Emergency as cefined by NUREG-0654, FEMA-RE?-l is a condition wnere "releases can ce reasonably expected to exceec EoA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels for more than the it. ediate site area," it is at this point tnat relative cose savings between evacuation an sneltering are evaluated in accordance with the protective action cecision criteria of NhRERP Volume 4 Appendix F and Volume AA Appencix U for tne

(

general population including the beach population.

For the aforementioned reasons, it is the State's position that evacuation is the protective response that would ce used in response to the majority of emergency scenarios at Seabrook, and that the protective action of sneltering may be preferable to evacuation in cnly a very limitec numcer of accident scenarios.

Tne State is currently prepared to recommend implementation of its shelter-in-place concept at either of the two plume exposure EPZ's in New Ha"1pshire. The shelter-in-place advisory will normally be issued, for either

( EPZ, only under scenarios that are characterized by one or more of the following three conditions:

1. Dose Savings Sneltering could be recommenced wnen it would be the more effective option in achieving maximum cose reduction. New Hampshire has cnosen to base its protective action decisions on the lowest values cited oy EPA guidance, that is 1 rem whole body dose and 5 rem tnyroid dose.

The protective action guidelines contained in EPA 520/1-75-001, Manual of Protective Action Guides for toclear Incidents, Pevised

, v' 1980, have been adopted in the protective action procedures of Appendix F and Appendix U.

{

Appendix 1, Page 8 of 47 g 2. Consideration of Local Conditions V The protective action recomendation pr0cedure of the f.MERP (Appendix F, Vol. 4 and Appendix U, Vol. AA) considers impediments to evacuation when evacuation is the result of the detailed evaluation utilized in the decision making p:ccess.

3. Transients Without Transportation wnen evacuation is the recomended protective action for the Cea n l population, certain transients may ce without their own means of '

transportation. Shelter will ce provided for this category of

( transients to ensure tney have recourse to some protection while j

awaiting transportation assistance.

A major reason for the State's reliance on evacuation is the recognition

( that, during the sumer months, the large transient ceacn population potentially present constrains tne use of the shelter-in-place option as a i 1

means of acnieving dose savings for that segment of the entire pcpulation.

Many of tne beacn transients are day tri::pers witnout ready a: cess to a q residence for sheltering as envisionec in the shelter-in-place concept. Tne (J adoption of early beach closings and the precautionary action of beach evacuations (and their attendant access Control to stop the influx of beach gcers) is intenced by the State to minimize tne population that could be subject to possible protective actions at a later time.

Tne State plans to continue its use of tne snelter-in-place concept. It continues to assume that the shelter-in-place concept can be augmented. It f can be augmented by the precautionary beach closures, and it can be augmented by retaining the ability to use some public shelters if a need to shelter transients without transportation occurs.

O

Appendix 1, Page 9 of 47 The utility has sponsored a beach area Shelter Study undertaken by Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation. This study was proviced to the State as a resource document. In its review, the State found the cccument to be of some value. It identified a large numoer of snelters that may serve as a pool from which puolic snelter choices will be made. Based upon its review of the Shelter Study, the State is confident that unforeseen demand for snelter can be met provided that the limits of usefulness inherent in any shelter (e.g.,

( sneltering factors, weatherization, capacity, etc.) are consideteo in tne decision-making process.

( .

When evacuation la the recommended protective action for tne beach population, certain transients may oe witncut their own means of transportation. An estimate of tne number of ceach transients who may not have their own transportation is 24 of the peak beach population, as set fortn

[ in fMERP, Volume 6, page 2-1 n. The State agrees with the RAC's advice to consider ride sharing as a significant factor in estimating transportation resource requirements, and believes that sufficient ride snaring capacity exists for transients without their own transportation. In addition, ous routes have been planned and bus resources identified to provide

{ transportation for persons in the ceach areas who may lack their can.

However, there is a concern that some mechanism ce provided for tnis category of transients to ensure they have some protection while awaiting transportation assistance.

Using the 2% estimate and the 1987 peak population figures derived by KLD for the beach areas of concern, the rurter of transients without O uansortau- mient ee as hinn as e in -pt- eeacn and m in Sem-k 7

i .

Appendix 1, Page 10 of 47 Beacn. On the basis of the Shelter Study, there is capacity in existing buildings at Hampton Beach and Seaorock Seach to snelter those transportation-dependent transients at the beacn until transportation assistance is made availaole.

We propose to amend the plan to identify potential shelter 1ccations for the transient ceach population witnout transportation. The appr0priate ESS message will be modified to provide "for instructions to persons on the beacn

{

who have no ceans of transportation to go to public shelters to await

( assistance in the event evacuation of the beacn is recommended.

In its introduction, tJJREG 0654 FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1 criterion J. Protective Response suggests tnat emergency planning should ensure that:

O A range of protective actions have been developed for the plume exposure pathway EPZ for emergency workers and the puolic. Guidelines for the enoice cf protective actions during an emergency, consistent with federal guidance, are develcped and in place . . .

As previously explained, the State has developed cotn evacuation and sheltering options for protecting the public. F.itner of these options may be coupled with access control. The fMF.FP states that either of these protective actions ". . . will oc implemented on a municipalit.y-by-municipslity basis." (tM ERP vol 1.p. 2.6-11) Furthermore, the range of protective actions availaole to the State is expanded by three special consicerations. One is specific consideration given to special facilities:

O ror testitvtion 11zeo aoaviittoa= (taotvetos tnos ia rosait 1=. aerstaa homes and jails), a more detailed evaluation of protective action

) recommencations is uncertaken based upon facility-specific sneltering protection factors. Sheltering in place will normally be the preferred i

s Appendix 1, Page 11 of 47

(

L protective action for institutional facilities, the nature of wnich pJ require that the implementation of protective actions, particularly evacuation, be considered very carefully with respect to associated risks and derived benefits. The actual dose criteria (PAGs) utilized in choosing betneen sneltering and evacuation will ce the same for the general population and institutionalized incividuals. (NnREV Vol. 1, p.

2.6-7)

A secv.ad special consiceration is the potential precautionary acticn of closing or early evacuation of beacnes cefore protective actions are necessary. A tnird s;ecial consideration is tne State's ability to uncerta<e I additicnal protective responses, inclucing using puolic snelters for tne transient populaticn without transportation. Tcgetner, tnese various optiens provice New Hampsnire with a orcad range of protective aCticns frcn whiCn to choose.

(

k Tne State also believes that its casis for selecting protective acticns is sound. The basis is described in MiREY Rev. 2 Vol.1 Section 2.6.7 Criteria I for Selectino Protective Actions for Direct Excesure Witnin the Plume Excosure EPZ (p. 2.6-24). Since FEMA has found these criteria to fall short of being clear, however, tne State has attempted some draft clarifications to key elements of tne protective action decision criteria. The draft revisions are attached. (See: Attachment 2). Should FEMA find these draft improvements remove its doubts about the process for selecting protective actions, the State is prepared to adopt them as plan changes.

In using the procedure as modified, decision makers are directed to Figure 1A of the procedure to consider factors related to the actual or potential radiological relesse. These variables are derived from the quicance of EPA 520/1-78-0018. Considered specifically are: the time to release, time of O plume arrival at a specified location, time of exposure at the reference i

location, projected dose, EPA PACS, evacuation times, ano shelter dose 9

Appendix 1, Pago 12 of 47

((] reduction factors. At the General Emergency classification, the evaluation is first performed for the area of most immediate concern, that is within aceut tao (2) miles of the plant. After the radiological consequences are evaluated, a recommerdation will be reachec.

It is at tnis point that the local conditions that may affect tne recommendation are considered. Tnese conditions are cescriced in Attaen ent C

( to Appendix F, Vol. 4,i M ERP, and incluces local meteorolegical conditiens, concitions of the local road network, and any natural or manmace impediments to evacuation.

Once the evaluation process is completed, a recommendation to tne public will be made by decision makers. It must ce noted that the procecures will caution decision makers that if precautionary closure or evacuation of tne teacnes has been recommended, then such measures must continue to be the recommended protective action.

PLANT SYSTEM CCNSICERATIONS FCR EARLY FROTECTIVE ACTION CECISICd MAXING When censidering early protective actions, particularly fer seasonal pcpu-lations, primary concerns are plant conditions and pregncsis rather than pre-Jected er measured radiological censequences. Particular attentien en the part of the decisien r akers should, therefore, be directed to the fellcwing per-

,tinent plant systems and ccnditiens. ,

a. Reacter Ccclant System

1. What is reacter Vessel level? Is reactor Cccling adequate?

2. What is reanter ccre exit eccling temerature. Is reactor cooling effective?

3. What is reactor ecclent pressure? Are pressures increasing

( ce decreasing beyond nennal operational pressures?

.(- 4. Confinn whether reactor has been shut down.

B. Turbine Generater System

1. What are Stean Line Meriter readings?

4 2. Oc readings indicate primary systen to secondary system leakage ui.th radicactivity?

C. Electric ro.sr Syst es

{ 1. Are emergency buses - buses E $ and E-S - pcwered?

2. Are the buses pcwered by off-site power scurce or by on-site diesel generater source?

, D. Radiation Data Manag eent Systan

1. What are readings on Wide Range Gas Monitors on the Primary Vent Stack that wuld indicate release rates from contairinent?

3. What are In-Lontainment Pcst-LOCA Moniter readirgs that would indicate increase of activity inside the contair. Tant structure?

E. Engineered Safety Features

1. Status of containment integrity? Is centair. Tant isolated?

2. Activation of Energency Core Ccoling Systen? Is there safety injection?

3. Status of centairrent air pressure? Is pressure inside cen-tairrent increasing, decreasing, or steady?

4. If pressure inside centainment is a concern, what is status of I Centairrent Spray Systen? Is it available?

F. Metecrolegical Measurerents System

1. The protective action decision must take into consideration the status of state and town emergency personnel and resources and the timing of the protective action announcements to the public.

2. Of particular importance to precautionary actions for the beach areas is the status of the State Police and local police to implement traffic and access controls.

3. Status considerations include:

a. Availability of personnel

b. Time required for mobilization

c. Degree to which mobilization has progressed

{ d. Time required for implementation of emergency actions B. Local Conditions {

1. Local conditions within an affected area may constrain protective action decisions and their implementation.

2. Local conditions should be reported to decision makers by local EOC personnel through the IFO at Newington.

3. Pertinent local conditions include:

a. Conditions of road and evacuation routes considering-(1) Seasonal travel impediments

2.6.7 { Exposure Within the Plume Exposure EPZ E One purpose of developing a RERP is to reduce the response time in the event ,__ of an emergency at a nuclear power station. To facilitate planning, a number of accident scenarios have been developed by NRC. These are the basis for the pro-tective action decision criteria discussed in this section. It should be noted, however, that these criteria are sufficiently flexible to be applied to any type f of radiological release from a nuclear power plant. Procedures for application of these criteria are contained in Protective Action Decision Criteria for the State of New Hampshire. See NHRERP Volume 4, NHCDA Procedures, Appendix F. O In addition to the criteria contained in this section, plant status and prognosis are considered for early precautionary actions for seasonal popula-tions. Figure 2.6-6 is a flow diagram of the process by which plant status and l2 prognosis are considered to determine early precautionary actions. If an ALERT is declared and plant conditions indicate that a major plant system is unstable or degrading, the beaches will be closed in Hampton and Seabrook and access control will be established. If a SITE AREA EMERGENCY is declared and plant conditions are stable, the beaches will be closed in Hampton and Seabrook and access control will be established. If a SITE AREA EMERGENCY is declared and plant conditions indicate i that a major plant system is unstable or degrading, the Hampton and Seabrook beach areas will be evacuated and access control will be &;tablished for areas within 2 miles of Seabrook Station. 2 The discussion below explains the decision process for choosing evacuation or shelter as a protective action during an energency response. The eight variables involved in choosing between shelter and evacuation are: REVIEW COM Vol. 1 2.6-24 av. 2 2/88 APR 141988

1. Protective Action Guides - These have been described and presented in Section 2.6.3. Table 2.6-1 presents the PAGs for the direct exposure path-way.

2. Projected Dose - The amount of radiation received through direct exposure to the plume assuming no protective actions are taken. The projected dose is determined by UPHS according to accident assessment proc 7dures described in Section 2.5.

n

3. Time to Release - An estimate of the time remaining between the present and an anticipated release of radioactive materials from the plant. This esti-mate is provided to DPHS by the power plant operator.  ; _

4. Plume Arrival Time - The time period between release of radioactive material into the atmosphere and the arrival of the leading edge of the plume at the reference location. DPHS will obtain this information from the Utility, through its own monitoring, and from independent plume dispersion modeling 2

undertaken by DPHS from the State EOC.

5. Plume Exposure Time - The elapsed time between plume arrival at the reference location and the time when it has passed the reference location.

DPHS will obtain this information from the Utility in accordance with established Utility procedures and from its own accident assessment acti-vity. The cloud exposure time is determined by the duration of the release and meteorology.

6. Delay Time - The elapsed time between the determination that a release will occur and the issuance of protective action instructions to the public.

2

7. Action Time - The estimated time required to complete an evacuation of an area, or to implement sheltering. NHOEM will use these estimates, which are l2 based upon an assessment of actual road conditions existing during an i

emergency. Offsite constraints to evacuation will also be considered. Vol. 1 2.6-28 REVIEW COF- Rev. 2 2/88 Aea 14 s88 (

Attachment 2, Page 6 of 12

8. Dose Reduction Factor (DRF) - The DRF is the amount of protection offered by a protective action. It is measured as the proportion of the projected

- dose that is expected after a protective action has been taken. The DRF can range from zero (complete protection) to 1.0 (no protection). The PAGs have been predetermined as outlined in Table 2.6-1. DRFs for typical structures in both Plume Exposure EPZs have also been predetermined. The values for the other six variables will be determined during an emergency response. Figure 2.6-7 is a flow diagram of the process in which these eight variables are used by DPHS and NHOEM to derive protective action recommendations for the Governor. l2 This New Hampshire protective action selection process is based upon EPA guidance (EPA 520/1-78 0018). The process is built around six chronological decision steps, represented by the numbered diamond-shaped blocks in Figure 2.6-7. At each of these six steps one or more of the eight decision variables, previously outlined, is required as input, and the output is either a direct protective action decision, or a determination to move to the next decision step. The following discussion traces the six-step decision process. NOTE: Special consideration is given to the advisability of closing the public and private beaches within the EPZ at ALERT classification, as a precau-tionary measure, regardless of the availability of a projected dose data. (See Volume 4 Appendix F. Protective Action Decision Criteria.) Block s1 - At Block s1 DPHS nust determine whether projected doses exceed PAGs for whole-body or thyroid doses. Input data needed for this determination are listed in Box A. They are the PAGs. from Table 2.6-1, and the projected doses based on present and anticipated releases. The projected doses are com-pared to the comparable PAG doses. If neither PAG is exceeded, the decision, as noted in Box B. is that no protective action is required. If either PAG is exceeded for any municipality, DPHS will notify the Department of Agriculture of the need to place dairy animals that are within the plume exposure EPZ on stored feed (Box B). This action is to be taken automatically upon an affir-mative response in Block one since this particular action would have to occur prior to completion of either sheltering or evacuation within the plume exposure EPZ. DPHS and NHOEM will then proceed to the second decision step. 2 O asvisw cor-Vol. 1 2.6-29 Rev. 2 2/88

Attachment 2, Page 7 of 12 Block *2 - At Block #2, DPHS and NHOEM must determine whether evacuation of LO the area in which whole body and/or thyroid PAG doses will be exceeded can be completed prior to the arrival of the plume. The input data for this deter-nination are outlined IN Box D. These variables are Time to Release, Plume Arrival Time, Delay Time, and Action Time. The Action Time variable will include NHOEM assessment of offsite constraints to evacuation as indicated in l Attachment C to Appendix F, Volume 4. It evacuatic 1 of the area in which PAGs are exceeded can be completed prior to plume arrival, then evacuation will in all likelihood be the recommended protective action as indicated in Box E. The final evacuation recommendation will be based on the degree to which the PAGs are projected to be exceeded and the DRP effectiveness of evacuation. If eva-cuation cannot be completed prior to plume arrival, DPHS and NHOEM aust proceed l to the third decision step. ,

Attachment 2, Page 8 of 12 Block 83 - At the third decision step DPHS and NHOEM must determine whether [ protective action can be implemented before the plume has passed. At this point. DPHS and NHOEM must consider Time to Release. Plume Arrival, Plume Exposure l2 Time. Delay Time and Action Time for the alternative protective actions. There are three possible types of conclusion for this determination. First, it may ( be determined that there is insufficient time to implement either protective action for the area being considered. In this case, DPHS must advise that corrective rather than protective actions (i.e.. monitoring and decontamination) should be taken. This case is represented in Box G. Second, DPHS and NHOEM may l determine that there is sufficient time to derive some protection from shelter. but insufficient time to implement evacuation. In this case, shelter will be advised, as shown in Box F (evacuation may be considered following passage of the plume due to exposure from ground deposition as discussed in Section 2,9.2). If both sheltering and evacuation begin only after arrival of the Plume, and both can be implemented before the plume has passed, DPHS and NHOEM must proceed [2 to the fourth decision step.

  .         Block 84 - At this point in the decision process, NHOEM and DPHS begin to                                                                     l address the tradeoff between evacuation and shelter.                                                                  It has been determined in Block 83 that both sheltering and evacuation can begin only while the population                                                                               -

is exposed to the plume. The question that must be addressed by NHOEM and DPHS l2 is, "Which protective action provides the best protection under these circumstances?" Evacuees will be exposed while evacuating, but exposures will drop to zero when they have cleared the area. Sheltering provides protection quicker, but its effectiveness decreases as plume exposure time increases. The decision to be made in this step concerns a determination of which pathway is most important. If only one pathway exceeds the PAG in Block *1. this decision is automatically determined. When both pathways are involved, the decision is made by comparing the whole-body and thyroid doses received after protective actions have been taken. If the whole-body PAG exceeds the thyroid PAG, all l2 subsequent decisions are based on the whole-body dose. If the reverse is true,

                                                                                                                                                               ~

subsequent decisions are based on the thyroid dose. If both are equally impor-tant, subsequent decisions can be based on either dose.

                                                                                                                                                                   ~

N a, Attachment 2, Page 9 of 12 Block 85 - Parallel decisions are made at the fifth decision step. This parallel path is shown by the pair of Blocks numbered Block 35. These blocks address the same question. The decision in one is referenced to thyroid dose, and in the other to whole-body dose. The question asked in this step is "Does shelter or evacuation provide the greatest protection?" This decision is made by using fast and simple screening calculations that compare the effectiveness of sheltering versus evacuation. If evacuatica provides the best protection, then evacuation is chosen as the protective action (Box J). The DRF for evac-untion considers the fact that individuals must drive through the Plume and are protected only by their automobiles until they clear the area. The DRF for sheltering considers the fact that as the duration of exposure increases, sheltering effectiveness decreases. The criteria used in this decision block are simplified to facilitate rapid analysis. The slaple screening calculations are biased away from evacuation, thus, if evacuation is indicated, evacuation should be ordered. On the other hand, if these criteria do not indicate evac-uation, the results are inconclusive and a more detailed comparison of the two protective actions must be undertaken at next decision step. Block 86 - This decision asks the same question, "Which protective action offers the greatest protection?" The analysis is based on more complete data and detailed calculations. It provides a better evaluation of the comparative effectiveness of shelter and evacuation. If evacuation is still indicated. It will be recommended (Box J). If shelter is indicated, then shelter will be recommended (Box I). The decision process above contains assumptions in Blocks #4, 85, and s6 that sheltering occurs in small structures such as residential dwelling units. Sheltering may also occur in large structures such as schools, institutional

 ;  facilities, and office buildings.       Large structure sheltering can be viewed as a separate protective action which requires separate evaluation.        Because there are a limited number of large structures in both Plume Exposure EPZs, this option is not being considered by New Hampshire for the general population.

For institutional facilities whose population may already be in large structures. sheltering may be the preferred protective action. To evaluate this case, the large structure DRF may be substituted in the above decision process and a separate evaluation made for the institutional facilities. REVIEW COF' Vol. I 2.6-32 APR 14 888 Rev. 2 8/86

l As mentioned above. the decision to shelter or evacuate must be made with reference to a specific location. New Hampshire will use local government boundaries to define the reference locations. Therefore, protective actions ( L will be decided and implemented on a municipality-by-municipality basis. New Hampshire has chosen this option because implementation of protective actions on any other basis is considered less manageable. 2.6.8 Decision Process for Selection of Protective Actions for Ingestion Pathway Exposures The decision process for determining protective actions for Ingestion Pathway exposures is similar to, but considerably simpler than, the decision pro-cess for determining protective actions against direct exposure in the Plume Exposure EPZ. Figure 2.6-8 is a flow diagram of the process used to determine l2 which of the protective actions is to be used for each of the Ingestion Pathways. The process is built around three chronological decision steps for each of three ingestion paths. The decision steps are represented by the num-bered diamondshaped blocks in Figure 2.6-8. Input to each step is a comparison l2 of dose to the Ingestion Pathway PAGs which are listed in Table 2.6-2. To facilitate rapid decision making, a radioactivity level, which corre-sponds to the PAG for a particular food pathway, will be used. This level is the amount of radiation in food, water, or animal feed that would ultimately result in exceeding the PAG if it was allowed to pass up through the food chain

 /     to the human consumers.                     For example, if the level of Iodine-131 on a pasture exceeds the precalculated radioactivity level, the human dose resulting from the pasture-animal-milk pathway would exceed the PAG if preventive actions were not taken for milk. This radioactivity-level-to-PAG-dose-conversion calculation has been described by FDA/HHS in 43 FR 58790.                      Precalculated levels for speci-fic pathways are contained in DPHS procedures.                     Total dose committaent from all pathways and for all nuclides taken together will be calculated in determining exceedance of preventive and energency PAGs.

The following discussion traces the three-step decision process for Ingestion Pathway exposure. The term "response level" refers to the precalcu-lated radioactivity levels discussed above. O REVIEW COP Vol. 1 2.6-33 Rev. 2 2/88

Attachment 2, Pace 11 of 12 s Block *1 - At Block *1. DPHS must determine whether an.y n Ingestion Pathway may be exposed to radiation. The decision is a simple determination of whether , or not there may be a radioactive release which affects areas beyond the site b boundary of the power plant. Input consists of advisories from the Utility. If the answer is no. further consideration of protective action for the Ingestion Pathway is not required. If the answer is yes. DPHS must progress to the next decision step. Block *2 - At Block *2 DPHS must determine whether a Preventive Action PAG may be exceeded for one or more of the three Ingestion Pathways taken together. This entails using the response levels for (a) milk. (b) other foods, and (c) water to determine whether the Preventive Action PAGs. listed in E Table 2.6-2 may be exceeded. If the answer is negative, no protective action is required. If the answer is positive for the three Ingestion Pathways. Preventive Actions will be recommended will be recommended until more definitive 2 analysis can be undertaken. Volume 2. Appendix D lists all commercial agri-J cultural facilities within the 50-mile EPZ. Figure 2.6-8 lists the preventive actions in parallel for the three ingestion paths. Each involves control of the ingestible material by the appropriate State Agency followed by field testing to more accurately define the levels of contamination. For example, DPHS has the authority to close shellfish harvesting areas. In the event that harvesting of shellfish should not be done, because of contamination, the Director, DPHS will invoke this authority by notifying the Department of Fish and Game to restrict harvesting and to control access to harvesting areas. Collection of field samples is further described in Section 2.5.3. Upon activating Preventive Actions, DPHS aust proceed to the third decision step. Block #3 - At Block #3, DPHS must determine whether Emergency Action PAGs

  )     are, or may be, exceeded. The determination is based first on a compariaon of dose projections to the Emergency Acti n PAG levels. If predictive techniques show potential for exceedance of PAG avels of the ingestible coanodity, DPHS will advise cor. trol or condemnation nding verification by field data. If field data confira predicted contaal                                         tion, DPHS will advise condemnation or storage for suitable future use.                                      !   .leld  data show levels below the appropriate response levels, State                                       introl of the ingestible material will be O                                                                                     ncview coe' APR 141988 l    Vol. 1                                                             '

1. Shelter Study and Updated Population Estimates ji The total available shelter space has been determined by the Shelter Study performed for New Hamoshire Yankee by the Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation. This study assessed tne potential available shelter space in commercial, municioal, tax exempt, and residential buildings in the beach areas of the Seabrook Station EPZ. Potential shelters were considered to be those structures that met the dose reduction factor criteria of the NHRERP.

The study separately evaluated the total capacity of tne potential shelters for the two groups of structures, public and residential. Public structures are buildings that are normally accessible to the public for commerical or business use. Recognizing that rot all building space would be available, the gross area derived from tax records was reduced by an availability factor to yield a net area that represented available space not taken up by equipment, sales stock, e internal features, etc., and that could be occupied by persons taking shelter. When the potential available shelter space was totaled, the number of persons that can be provided short-term shelter was estimated by dividing the total by 10 square feet per person (see Federal Emergency Management Agency, Radiation Safety in Shelters, CPG 2-6.4, September 23, 1983). For residential buildings, it was assumed they would be occupied at their normal rate of 6.24 persons per building. This occu-pancy rate was determined from the work of KLO Associates. The total potential shelter space in residences was determined by multiplying the occupancy rate by the number of residences. In order to arrive at the total number of persons who could be sheltered, public and residential shelter capacities were added together. For the beach areas of Seabrook and Hamoton, south of Great Boar's Head, there is a total of 91,527 ootential shelter spaces. This available snelter soace can be comoared to the size of the beacn coeu-lation derived from aerial photograohs taken on a crowded, goed weather, summer weekend in July, 1987. For the same areas of Hampton and Seabrook, the estimated peek population was determined to be 31,239. Therefore, available cotential shelter capacity is almost three times the estimated peak beach population. 9 L/439SB.1 L. _ _ __ __

Attachment 3, Page 2 of 4 !o 2. Distribution of Shelter As a means of showing the relative distribution of identified potential shelter capacity and the beach population, a map and chart of the areas of concern nave been developed. These are presented as Attachments i and 2. The attachments show graphically the number of potential shelterees that can be accommodated in public and residential shelters L along the beach and tne numoer of ooserved persons actually on the I beach and in beach areas east of Route 1A counted from the aerial pho-tographs discussed above. The shelteree capacities and persons on the beach are shown in increments of two-tenths of a mile. These graphics show that the population on the beach is distributed in approximately direct proportion to the availability of shelter capacity. The graphics show that sufficient shelter capacity is located in all areas E within one-half mile of the populated beach areas. This distribution L of shelters is such that shelter capacity can be accessed by beach I 1 goers within a matter of minutes and certainly within one-half hour, r

3. Dose Reduction Factors of Beach Structures Each of the potential public shelters identified by the Stone & Webster Shelter Study was visually inspected externally by a health physicist who estimated the structure's cloud shielding factors. The purpose of L this examination was to ensure that identified structures conform to ,

.- the dose reduction factor assumed by the NHRERP. Aldrich, et al., Public Protection Strategies for Potential Nuc1 ??a Reactor Accidents; Shelter 1ng Concepts with Existing Public and Private Structure, SAND-77-1725 was used as the reference for the purpose of assigning cloud shielding factors. The seasonal residences ist the Hampton and Seabrook Beach areas were visually inspected and found to be of wood frame or more substantial construction and therefore have the dose reduction factors (DRF) used oy the NhRERP. For dose reduction factors associated with an external cloud, it is reasonable to assume that beach unwinterized area structures meet at least the 0.9 dose reduction factor (a wood frame structure without a basement) on the basis of information provided in EPA 520/1-78-001A, Protective Evaluation, Part 1, The Effectiveness of Sheltering as a Protective Action Against Nuclear Accidents Involving Gaseous Releases at page 18. Further, the thyroid dose reduction factor assumed by the NHRERP assu-mes an air exchange rate of 2 changes per hour. This is a reasonable assumption for unwinterized structures since the maximum air exchange for a structure without ventilation, weatherstripping or storm sashes is 2 changes per hour (see EPA 520/1-78-001A, page 8, Table 2).

The text reads as follows: 7 "These mechanisms include rapid assessment of 8 accident conditions, activation of the public elert system, 9 which include the beach public address system, and EBS 10 announcements. 'It is expected that people wil'1 comply with EBS 11 announcements to take shelter, and that owners / operators of 12 public access facilities will make their facilities available 13 for this very limited purpose."

15 On Page 23 of Applicants ' Direct Testinony No. 6. 16 there is the following statement.

  -()  11 4    that ran from Pages 98 through 101 that was entitled 15    Spontaneous Sheltering.                                                                             I 16                So to sum up, what had happened, apparently, was that 17    in December a sheltering testimony package was prepared in l         18    which sentence was set forth -- the same sentence in fact that.                                     !

l 19 appears in the April '88 testimony. But in the December l

- 20 version, it made reference back to a section of the ETE and  ;

21 human behavior testimony, Pages 98 through 101. l 22 The question is, was it inadvertent that in the April j 23 sheltering testimony in the portion that is identical to the r 24 December sheltering testimony, is it inadvertent that a ' i ! 25 reference back to your earlier testimony on spontaneous Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888 [ i l l

And 15 each time that I read them I would read them for a different 16 particular purpose. For example, to look for the concept of 17 consistency in information across messages; and then to do 18 another review looking for just that concept within one 19 message. And then to take each of the concepts I think are 20 important. one at a time, and to basically just have one thing 21 in mind and do my reading. 22 Q And now more than one -- are there not more than one 23 criterion against what you would measure the quality of 24 emergency message or set of messages? 25 A (Mileti) Yes.

So I think I could have a look at an EBS message 10 and have a general-idea, and then do a very systematic review B 11 and have a more specific idea.

What messages 8 were you provided this morning, if you can recall? 9 A (Mileti) I was provided messages in appendix G of 10 volume four, starting on page G-1, dated Rev. 2, 2/88. 11 Q And how many pages does that run to? 12 A (Mileti) I 'm just looking at the last page and 13 presuming that they're number consecutively, it says that it 's , O 14 numbered through page G-03 15 Q I 'm sorry.

7 focusing on the one protective action of sheltering would be a  ! 8 mistake; I was considering everything. 9 Q So in terms of the hour and 15 minutes that you spent l 10 reviewing these messages, these 53 pages, only a portion of  ; 4

I' () 14 A (Mileti) No. I would say that 's unf air to  ! i 15 characterize what I did in that way, because I was looking at  : 16 them, for example, for the concept of consisten:y.

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10049 ) 1 Q So just taking it by the numbers then, the strength 2 of your testimony and the degree to which we 're all supposed to 3 believe you and credit your testimony is a function of your 4 review, is it not, of the emergency broadcast system, and in 5 particularly the emergency broadcast messages; that 's the basis 6 for your theoretical view and it 's the basis for your 7 testimony? 8 A (Mileti) It 's not the only basis for my testimony, 9 as is obvious by looking at my sheltering testimony from the 10 ETE where I talk about the generic theory about how people help 11 one another in emergencies, and I think both might be 12 applicable here. 13 Q Well, do you have any basis, whatsoever. Dr. Mileti, 14 and I think you 've testified to this many times, do you have 15 any basis whatsoever, from whatever theory that you want to 16 draw, do you have any basis whatsoever other than the quality 17 of the emergency information made available to the population. 18 other than that theory, do you have any other basis for making 19 any statements of whatever kind about sheltering by a human 20 population in response to an emergency? 21 A (Mileti) Yes, I think I have several. 22 Q What are those bases? 23 A (Mileti) Well, for example, I think the general 24 theory about how emergencies begin and when hazard agents 25 impact communities. how the people come together and act more Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

a PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10050 () i helping toward one another than in more selfish ways toward one 2 another. The theory goes by many names. It has been referred 3 to by me and some other experts here as altruism or what have  ! 4 you; there 's that general theory. 5 And I also think there 's a raf t of empirical evidence 6 that suggests that the hypothesis I offered in this one t 7 sentence is the only prudent hypothesis any scientist could 8 offer including the empirical observations that do exist 9 whether they have been gathered through a scientific method or , 10 anecdotal evidence would lead us to conclude. 11 So I think there's the altruistic theory; there 's the 12 theory about how people interpret emergency information; and 13 certainly, there 's also the observable empirical record. And ( 14 all of that I think points in the same direction. , 15 Q And it 's your position that the sentence that you're 16 sponsoring on page 20 of today 's sheltering testimony is based , 17 on those theories as well as the theory of the quality of the 18 emergency information? 1 19 A (Mileti) Oh, absolutely. In fact, it was the theory p 20 about altruism that was the original basis for me speaking out 1 21 on this issue when it was supposed to be discussed in January 22 or December. I forget which. 23 Q Well, the testimony does read, does it not. Doctor. 24 that: "It is expected that people will comply with EBS 25 announcements." Does that rely on your theory of emergency  ; Heritage Reporting Corporation  ; (202) 628-4808 j t

I haven't excluded that as an 4 explanation. 5 Q Well, or to put it another way, affirmatively you are 6 making this statement based on the quality of those 7 announcements, are you not? 8 A (Mileti) I would not exclude the quality of 9 emergency information. 10 Q How about include? Would you include that? 11 A (Mileti) I would always include emergency 12 information. 13 Q And yet. you had an hour and 15 minutes to review 53 O 14 pages of these messages on which you then say and testify that 15 it is expected that people will comply with them? 16 A (Mileti) No. I don 't think that 's true, and I don 't 17 think it 's a f air characterization. I 've been reviewing the 18 EBS messages here at Shoreham. 19 Q Seabrook. 20 A CMileti) Sorry. Seabrook for a long time. And this 21 actual sentence was put together, and I talked about it to 22 people on the phone before I saw the new version of the 23 mes6 ages, but the new version of the messages are not all that 24 dissimilar f rom prior versions of messages.

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10055 O sl 1 of individuals in response to emergencies. It was your 2 testimony in January that you were aware, essentially, of no 3 studies, and I think your earlier testimony was quite clear on 4 this point. that you can make reference to no studies on 5 sheltering as a form of response by masses of people to an 6 emergency; is that correct? 7 A (Mileti) As I recollect it. I said I didn 't' at that 8 time know of any studies involving technological hazards in 9 which people had been asked to en masse engage in sheltering as 10 a protective action in the warning or initiation of the impact 11 period. Certainly there are studies of sheltering in post-12 impact periods, but I was looking at sheltering -- 13 Q I 'm sorry, in the post? O 14 A (Mileti) Post-impact periods where people go after 15 they lose their homes, for example, but I considered that a 16 different type of sheltering behavior, ot/3 17 Q Right. And again. 100 of your earlier testimony, t/4 18 when you were a member of the ETE and human behavior panel on 19 page 100, right after the paragraph that I read into the 20 record, there is the following sentence on page 100: 21 "Unfortunately." quote: "Unfortunately, we know of no specific 22 studies to cite that would empirically document this 23 phenomenon," close quote, whether this phenomenon refers to the 24 fact that people would never be locked out, they would always 25 be admitted into shelters; do you have that in front of you? O Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888 l

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10056 () 1 A (Mileti) Yes. 2 Q Yes. And it 's still your testimony, is it not, that 3 you know of no specific studies that document or describe 4 sheltering on a mass scale? 5 A (Mlleti) In the pre-impact period, no. I do not. 6 And as I said, the last time we met in this building that 7 doesn't necessarily mean one doesn 't exist, but I just haven't 8 found it. 9 Q Well, in fact. the last time we uet in this building 10 Your Honor offered to both of us the example of tornadosi do 11 you recall that? 12 A (Mileti) Yes. I do; and I remember being told by one 13 of the lawyers I blushed when he did for having not thought of 14 that myself. 15 Q Not to make you blush again, but have you, since 16 January. looked at any studies on tornados to determine what a 17 large scale response has been documented with regard to 18 sheltering? 19 A (Mileti) I haven 't personally looked at any studies 20 that have focused on tornados. I had a graduate student review 21 the record of studies I own about warning response which is 22 pretty large. And I talked to a few other colleagues about it. 23 And I also thought back, in my own mind. about any particular 24 natural hazards because I had pretty much excluded that 25 category from my thinking the last time I was getting ready for O Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

I j ust didn 't find it. I did think of and' 5 encounter a few empirical cases where sheltering behavior was 6 discussed and documented in one way or another. 7 Q You have located those? I may have missed that. 8 again I 'm sorry. I'm having a little trouble hearing you, if 9 you could just speak up a little bit. You said tnat you had 10 found them or you have not found them? 11 A (Mileti) What I said was. I didn't go on a personal 12 quest in search of them. I had a graduate student review my 10 files for me, which I think is different than me doing it. 14 Q Ho. fine. But my question was, with what result? 15 A (Wileti) Oh. I did find a few empirical cases where 16 sheltering was referenced in one way or another, but not on a 17 mass large scale. And again. I want to qualify that by saying. 18 that doesn't mean one doesn't exist, but I certainly didn't 19 find it. 20 Q All right.

My question 4 is, are there circumstances under which you would recommend 5 sheltering for the beach population? 6 A (Strome) Certainly conceivable. 7 -Q Yes. And we have paragraph number three here making 8 it quite clear that one set of circumstances would be that you il 9 order sheltering for a portion of the beach population, i.e., , 10 transients without transportation? 11 A (Strome) Right. With'the understanding, of course, 12 that was just an interim solution to a problem, and that we 'd 13 provide them transportation so that we could get them away from 14 the beach area. 15 Q I understand that point. Now my focus is on the 16 other.two sets of circumstances, and I 'm asking, those 17 circumstances run to the entire beach population, don't they? 18 A (Strome) That 's correct, sir. 19 Q Now, Dr. Mileti -- thank you. Thank you. 20 Now, Dr. Mileti, did you review any messages in which

21 sheltering is recommended to the entire beach population?

22 Well, I don 't want to be unfair to you, Dr. Mileti, let me ask 23 Mr. Callendrello that question. 24 Mr. Callendrello, are there any messages in the l 25 present plan, as I received it as of 10:15 this morning, are O Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10063 () i there any messages in the present plan in which it is 2 recommended to. the beach population in toto that they shelter? 3 A~ (Callendrello) No, there are no prescripted 4 messages.- But as is the case with any of these messages, these 5 are samples, they 're suggestions to the implementers of these 6 procedures to enable them to implement them more quickly. 7 In fact there's a statement in here that says: 8 "These messages are samples and may be amended in any way or 9 developed independently to ensure adequate information is 10 relayed to the public." 11 As Mr. Strome indicated, these three conditions are 12 certainly conditions that, contrary to your language. not would , 13 be recommended, but would be considered. ( 14 Q No , I meant the protective action measure of 15 sheltering would be the recommendation? 16 A (Cal lendrel lo) Could be the recommendation. As the , 17 testimony says: "Sheltering would be considered under those 18 circumstances." And under those circumstances the messages in 19 appendix G would be modified to whatever the appropriate 20 message would be to cover the segment, whether it be any or all 21 of the beach population that 's recommended to evacuate. 22 Q Now, Dr. Mileti, at an earlier stage or in an earlier 23 version of the plan, of the New Hampshire plan, there was a 24 provision for sheltering the beach population, was there not? 25 A (Mileti) I honestly have to say, I don 't remember. t O Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888 P

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10064 1 It 's 'not a surprise to hear the notion about sheltering the 2 . beach population, so I presume that it was in a prior version. 3 I haven 't seen the current version, I don't know that it 's ' 4 excluded. I j ust don 't remember. But I don 't have any 5 recollection of people not considering sheltering as well as 6 evacuation in regard to the beach population; I thought they 7 were always both considered options, but that 's j ust my 8 recollection. 9 Q Now, Dr. Mileti, are you concerned that the applicant 10 -- strike that -- that the state intends to formulate-an 11 emergency message that recommends sheltering for the beach 12 population in toto at the time of an emergency; does that 13 concern you? O 14 A (Mileti) In general I think it would be best to have 15 as many EBS message prototypes as one could think up. The 16 purpose, however, is not to collect reams of EBS messages, but 17 rather so that the people who would write them in an emergency 18 would be familiar with how to write them. I suspect-that 19 whatever emergency happened would occur differently and that 20 messages would have to be adapted. So I think to be honest 21 with you that skill is perhaps as important, if not more 22 important, than prototypes, but prototypes certainly are 23 useful. 24 So I would answer your question in general, yes. 25 Q Mr. Callendrello, there was prior to the present set l i I ( Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

These are sample i 19 messages, and as has been indicated it 's going to be possible 20 to come up with the new messages, the better messages as time 21 progresses; we 're constantly refining the message process. 22 It 's not a matter of having deleted one and its disappeared as 23 an option and never to arise again. 24 It may very well be, and I can 't speak to this 25 because I didn't put together this set of revisions, that O Heritage Reporting Corporation , (202) 628-4888

Well, that 's fine except the problem is on page 17 19 of your testimony. you are still indicating: "There are two 18 sets of circumstances under which you would recommend -- you 19 would still intend to consider recommending shelter to the 20 entire beach population, not j ust to the transients without 21 transportation."

But back in . 23 December there was attached to this panel 's testimony, and I 24 have a copy dated December 17, 1987 Applicants ' Direct 25 Testimony No. 6, there was -- it was labeled Attachment No. 3 (:) Heritage Reporting Corporation i (202) 628-4888

     -(     ~1  (1 of 4), there was a document that was headed Beach Public 2  Address Shelter Message.

             '7      Q       It says, "Attention". I know I can't read this with 8  the right tone. But "Attention, attention.        Because of a 9  problem at Seabrook Station, beaches are now closed.               Please 10   leave the beach and go indoors immediately.           Listen to the 11   radio for more information."

12 This was one of my favorite messages, by the way. 13 This message no longer exists in that form, does it? O. 14 A (Strome) Not so far as I know. 15 First off, let me point out that any messages that 16' exist are still in draft form. Any message that exist in the 17 planning documents still are in draft form. So that there 18 should be no intimation that we have settled on a final 19 message. We are certainly willing to take suggestions, and you 20 will obviously have some thoughts with respect to that.  ; 21 Q Well, you mean they are all in draft form, and 22 technically you mean that because they would only be final when 4 23 they would be used during an emergency. That 's what you mean

25 A (Strome) Well, I think that that possibility Heritage Reporting Corporat ion (202) 628-488'3 ,

5 Q Well, you are going _to have to create one now, 6 because you have no longer included among your samples -- you 7 are going to have to create one now that tells the beach 8 population to shelter if the set of' circumstances described on 9 Page 19 under heads 1 and 2 turn out to take place, right? 10 A (Strome) I think we have the talent to put one of 11 those together, and we 'll certainly work on that. 12 Q Now, Mr. Callendrello, you help me, because I know 13 you know where this is. 14 In your testimony, tnere is -- right in the testimony 15 there is a new version of the message that I just read you, is 16 there not? 17 A (Callendrello) Yes. 18 Q The attention, attention message. 19 What page is that on? 20 A (Callendrello) Page 14. 21 MR.

(Callendrello) I'm reading from a version of the 6 Applicants ' Direct Testimony No. 6 dated January 6, 1988, and 7 reading Attachment 3 to that which I think is the same one you 1 8 had, and that is: The difference'is that -- I'm trying to do 9 this so I don't confuse anybody. l 10 Where our testimony on Page 14 says, "Please leave 11 the beach immediately." the message contained in the January 12 6th-testimony had the word, "Please leave the beach and go - 13 indoors.immediately."

PANEL NO. 6.- CROSS 10076 () 1 A (Mileti) Well, it. depends on what kind of message 2 you are talking about. This is not an EBS message.- And if 3 this were an EBS message, I would not rank it-high.

What does that convey to the 13 listener? 14 A (Mileti) It I think would be taken literally and 15 people would interpret it as leave the beach immediately, and 16 it would be interpreted -- 17 Q It would be interested as the sand?

For some 10 people, it could mean evacuation. For some people it, it could 11 mean do something else. 12 However, it needs to be interpreted, and I 've always 13 said this. In light of all the emergency information that l 14 people would have access to, as well as in light of how people 15 respond to emergency information, this is their first alert. 16 And the first thing people do when they get-alerted in eri 17 emergency is try to get more information.

2 JUDGE SMITH: Wait, let me see if understand this 3 point. 4 The message you are just talking about, the one on 5 Page 14, would serve potentially a dual purpose. Your first 6 beach closing message, and your protective action message? 7 THE' WITNESS: (Strome) It has a primary function, r 8 Your Honor. Essentially it 's to move people at a really 9 precautionary stage. For example, at an alert emergency action 10 level. We have the capability within the planning documents to il close the beaches, so that 's well in advance of any kind of a 12 serious problem at the fixed site, and that really is the  ; 13 intent of what we 're trying to accomplish with these 14 precautionary actions in adding these enhancements, we think, i 15 early in the plan. 16 JUDGE SMITH: Why this message? 17 THE WITNESS: (Strome) This would serve that primary 18 function. It could certainly serve as the basis for something 19 else, but that 's it 's primary f unction, yes, sir. . 1 t 20 JUDGE SMITH: And what other possible function would 21 it have then? f 22 THE WITNESS: (Strome) Well, if we got into a more 23 serious situation in a rapidly -- rapid occurrence situation, 24 we might use that as the basis for a message. 25 JUDGE SMITH: You would in that case not give a L O Heritage Reporting Corporation ' (202) 628-4888 i i

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10080 (~x ( ,) i complete message. 2 THE WITNESS: (Strome) Right. 3 THE WITNESS: CCallendrello) -Your Honor, if it would 4 clarify things, the way the beach population is notified, the 5 primary means of notification is through the alert signal. 6 That 's the initial alerting of the beach population. That is 7 the siren tone. 8 This message follows that siren tone, and says in 9 words what the siren tone is intended to do, and that is, turn , 10 on your radio for more information. 11 In this case we 've added information; that is, please 12 leave the beach immediately because, as Mr. Streme indicated, 13 one of the goals is to relieve the beach population, reduce the ' i 14 beach population through the beach closure at an early stage. , 15 At the alert level only those beach sirens would be 16 activated, and it would be the alert tone and toen the message. 17 At higher classification site area emergency, in . 18 general emergency, all of the sirens in the New Hampshire i 19 portion of the emergency planning zone would be activated, and , 20 then the ones on the beach would broadcast this message. 21 But, again, the sole purpose of this message, which 22 goes beyond the initial alerting requirements and guidance of 23 0654, is to deliver an additional information message, and that { 24 is where to seek information on an emergency response. 25 JUDGE SMITH: But in the latter case, would this

(:) Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888 ,

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10081 (_) 1 message be accompanied by more explicit advice? I mean 2 directions, and that is, evacuate? 3 THE WITNESS: (Callendrello) That explicit advice 4 would come over the emergency broadcast system, and that is, 5 listen to a local radio station, the radio station that would 6 distribute the EBS. 7 JUDGE SMITH: I see. I understand. 8 BY MR. TRAFICONTE: 9 Q So the message that we 've just been talking about 10 would be the only message coming across on the public address 11 aspect of the siren system. 12 A (Callendrello) Yes. It would come across in English 13 and French, too, just for completeness. 14 Q I understand. 15 Now, just to close that loop. Dr. Mileti, it 's clear, 16 isn 't it, that -- first, were you consulted on the change in 17 language from please leave the beach and go indoors immediately 18 to please leave the beach immediately; were you consulted on 19 that change? 20 A (Mileti) I don 't remember it, but that doesn 't mean 21 it didn 't happened. But I honestly don 't remember it, so I 22 would have to say no. 23 Q Well, were you consulted in the last 30 days on that 24 change? 2S A (Mileti) Not that I recollect, no. d Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10082' (k 1 -Q Were you consulted since January on that change? 2- A- (Mileti) I 've talked to people f rom Seabrook, but I 3- don't think .in reference to the content of EBS messages or 4 these alerts. 5 Q Ar.d again j ust so that we 've got some closure on 6 that. Dr. Mileti' in your professional-opinion, is the phrase 7 "please leave the beach immediately" clear? 8 Let me refine the question. 9 Is it clear as to the two basic options that a person 10 in this situation might take, i . e. , to evacuate or shelter? Is 11 that message clear with regard to those two options? 12 A (Mileti) As I said before, it would mean dif ferent 13 things to different people. 14 However, the behavior, not perceptions, the behavior 15 that this message would elicit would be in the reverse ordeross 16 things are recommended in it. People would get additional 17 information over the radio, and then make a decision about 18 behavior. 19 So I think, regardless of whether or not one could 20 add words about sheltering and/or words about evacuation which 21 would make it clearer regardless of which of those two is being 22 recommended, the people are going to tune into the EBS system 23 before they do either as they are sitting on the beach and hear 24 this. 25 Q Well, let me make my contribution to this plan. i ( Heritage Reporting Corporation ' (202) 628-4888

6 More than likely or not, you are going to' order those 7 people to evacuate. 8 A (Callendrello) Again, for completeness, it would be , 9 either a precautionary action of recommending beach closure, or 10 if there was a protective action recommended, it is more likely 5 11 than not it will be evacuation. 12 Q Well, what would it add to the strain of the message 13 if you had included, "Please leave the beach populatiors and () 14 proceed to evacuate the area"? 15 Is that such a deeply mysterious addition? 16 MR.

And, in fact, if we had asked the people at 14 a lower level, beachgoers at a lower level to evacuate, or 15 leave as a precautionary measure, we wouldn 't change that 16 recommendat ion. 17 Q Right. So again looking at this message as a whole. 18 Mr. Cal le ndrel lo, you will see on Page G-28. the very first 19 page of the message, where it says in parens "Seasonal only. 20 May 15 to September 15".

   /  i      Q      So to go back. Mr. Strome, to page G-28. you have 2 access to this message as well, don't you?

3 A (Strome) I don 't have it in f ront of me, no. But I 4 will look at Mr. Mileti's. 5 Q Page G-28 in the paragraph that begins with the 6 parenthetical: "Seasonal only," do you see that? 7 A (Strome) Right. 8 Q The end of that paragraph reads: "Go to one of the 9 following buildings." I take it from this colloquy that we 've 10 had that at some point in the future there will be an 11 identified list of buildings all of which will be -- all of 12 which they 'll be by some arrangement, provision made at those 13 locations to host the transients without transportation; that 's () 14 the intent of that? 15 A (Strome) That 's correct, but let 's put that in the 16 proper context. Mr. Traficonte. We 're talking about a very, 17 very small population at the outside, some 400 people, if our 18 estimates are correct, in Hampton on a Sunday weekend when we 19 have maximum capacity at the beaches. That 's if all those 20 people, statistically, showed up. 21 In fact, we think that the bulk of those, if not all. 22 would ride share so that there would be no population upon whom 23 would have to get that kind of information to. So I think we 24 need to look at that in the proper context, same as Seabrook 25 Beach, incidentally. I think we 're talking on the order of 150 Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10105 () i people, statistically, who might not have that kind of transportation availability, but the fact of the matter is, in 2 3 the vernacular, hook a ride. 4 Q Well, every -- strike that. It is a fact that the 5 transients without transportation is one of the three sets of 6 circumstances that are listed as those circumstances on which 7 the plan might rely -- the state might rely on a sheltering 8 recommendation; that 's correct? 9 A (Strome) That 's correct, sir. 10 Q But now, if I got the sense or the gist of your 11 answer, we need not worry over much about the actual logistics 12 of such a set of circumstances because the numbers would be so 13 low, and in fact they nmy not even appear at the time to need () 14 shelter? 15 A (Strone) That 's correct. Incidentally. I think 16 we 've already put in place mechanisms to provide bus 17 transportation to those people so that the shelter period would 18 be minimal, hopefully, and we would be able to get them out. 19 JUDGE SMITH: Do you persist in your motion? 20 MR. TRAFICONTE: I 'm sorry. 21 JUDGE SMITH: Do you persist in your motion? 22 MR. TRAFICONTE: Yes. The motion that the phrase. 23 that owners / operators of public access facilities will make 24 their facilities available; yes, now I understand it completely 25 different -- for different reasons that I initially understood, O Heritage Report i ng Corporation (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10106 () i but that testinony is no longer relevant. That isn 't the way 2 the plan is presently structured. They 're not going to be 3 relying on owners / operators to make their facilities available; 4 they 're going to be relying on a very limited number of state 5 buildings that they have, essentially, they control. if I 6 understood it. 7 JUDGE SMITH: As I understand it, the paragraph he 's 8 alluding to is where the protective action is to shelter. The 9 problem with the transient population without transportation is 10 where the protective action is to evacuate, and there 's 11 temporary sheltering needed. Without anyfurther I j ust don't 1 12 think that your motion has merit. 13 BY MR. TRAFICONTE: 14 Q Dr. Mileti, let me ask you a question about this 15 message to the extent that it identifies a subpor' ion of the 16 listening population and instructs them to do something that is 17 different than the directions given to the major portion of the 18 population; that is accurate, is it not, the message does do

,                  19 that?

1 20 A (Mileti) I believe the answer to your question is. I 21 yes, but there are two separate subpopulations that are 22 theoretically large: those asked to evacuate from the beach. 23 and those asked to potentially shelter in their homes, and then 24 those asked to shelter at the beach. 25 Q Let 's focus on the beach strip, the beach populations O Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 626-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10107 () i in toto. We 've just tracked out pretty carefully that 2 residents, workers, transients on the beach would all be 3 instructed to evacuate. There is no, even though the message 4 would appear to lend itself to this, there would be no S summertime message directing the residents of the Seabrook 6 Hampton. Hampton Falls populations to shelter in place and 7 everyone else to evacuate, that 's not going to happen, everyone 8 is being told to evacuate? 9 A (Mileti) Fine. 10 Q Mr. Strome is nodding, and I think I have it right 11 now. 12 A (Mileti) I understand it. 13 Q Okay. We 're talking about those populations. It is () 14 a fact, is it not, that subportion of those populations, i.e.. 15 transients without transpc 'ation are being told to shelter; 16 right? 17 A (Mileti) Yes. 18 Q Okay. I think you have given testinony earlier about 19 the potential dif ficulty in emergency response when there 's 20 conflicting information being made available to the population; 21 is this one of those circumstances? 22 A (Mileti) It is, yes, to the degree that it 's focused 23 on the same geographical area. One would need to look at it 24 and make a judgment, however, about how it might affect 25 behavior. I don 't think because so few people are involved O Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10108

   )  i that this would cause people who have just been advised to 2 evacuate to instead shelter; I think this would add to the 3 natural tendency of those without rides to be offered rides by 4 those on the beach.

5 To be point blank, when I first saw this I couldn't 6 conceive of some few people being left behind by others who had 7 ways out. I wouldn 't anticipate, were this actually to happen. 8 that anybody would show up in search of shelter. I think those 9 people would be brought out by people they met on the beach I 10 that day. 11 Q So you think the effect of the language here would be 12 to eliminate any portion of the population that would seek i 13 shelter, any portion of the transient -- it would eliminate the , O 14 transient without transportation population, if I understood 15 your answer? It would cease to exist as a population because 2 16 they 'd all have transportation now? I 17 A (Miletil If this circumstance happened, given the i t8 small percentage cf people on the beach without transportation. , 19 I don't honestly believe that any would not -- I don 't believe j that any would show up in search of shelter. I think they would ( 20 21 go out with the people who have been advised to evacuate who l 22 have transportation.

• i 23 Q Now, you note the language or the sentence in that 24 same paragraph that begins on page G-28 (seasonal only). you 25 note the last clause where it says: "You will be safer if you  !

, i 4 Heritage Reporting Corporation  ! (202) 628-4888 j

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10109 wait inside." do you see that? Now, what 's your view on the ( )) i 2 impact of that sentence on the thousands of people who will be 3 waiting some number of hours in the beach areas, in the beach 4 parking lots and in the beach strip to evacuate, this is going 5 to be repeated every 15 minutes, is it not? 6 A (Mileti) I think if they 're waiting outside they 'll 7 think that they would be safer if they were waiting inside. 8 Q How about if they 're waiting in their cars and 9 listening to their car radios and they 're hearing every 15 10 minutes: "You will be safer if you wait insioe for a bus " is 11 that any problem to the person in the car who is waiting to 12 evacuate? 13 A (Mileti) I think the generic recommendation is for (n_) 14 people to evacuate, and that that is an overriding principle. 15 that that is the way in which people would be the most safe. 16 And your question goes to, when would people in the act of 17 evacuating perceive that they have accomplished it. 18 So if ycu 're suggesting that someone who 's 19 evacuating, either driving or waiting in their car to be able 20 to drive when the traffic moves, et cetera, when would they 21 think that that 's no longer safe and they would abandon that 22 strategy despite its recommendation and select a new one on the 23 basis of this or any other information that they get. 24 Q No, no. on the basis of this, not any other, this? 25 This is the emergency broadcast system?

Dr. Mileti, we are 14 talking about the emergency broadcast system, we 're not tclking 15 about other sources of information, but we 're talking about the 16 messages coming over the radio, for example, or being received , 17 by a listening population who are waiting some number of hours 18 before they can effect an evacuation, and they 're in the beach 19 strip and they're hearing every 15 minutes that, "For those f 20 without transportation you will be safer if you wait in side." 21 Now, you 've given testimony in these proceedings and 22 I don 't think there 's any dispute, is there, people 's i 23 perceptions of what is safe and unsafe at the time of an 24 emergency is a function of the information they 're provided [ 25 that 's correct, isn 't it? 1 ( Heritage Reporting Corperation (202) 628-4888

PANEL FO. 6 - CROSS 10111 f') v i A (Mileti) That 's one of the f actors I think is the 2 most important in shaping those perceptions, yes. 3 Q And you 've given testimony that people being 4 instructed to evacuate in an official -- from an official 5 source will evacuate because they 'll perceive that to be the 6 most rationale course and the safest course for them; right? 7 A (Mileti) Depending upon the f actors I would evaluate 8 in reference to the information, yes. 9 Q Well, does this portion of this message present any 10 possibility that these individuals begin wondering whether they  ; 11 should continue to wait in queues to effect an evacuation? t 12 A (Mileti) I think this would leave nest people with 13 the serise that if you don't have a car to evacuate in you'd be () 14 better off waiting for one in a building as opposed to standing ' 15 out on the sidewalk, even though it doesn 't use those words, 16 But in reference to your question, your question presumes 17 standing in line in a car. I would suspect that if people were 18 immobile in a car for 24 hours, then they might in fact get the 19 idea that they would want to do something else, but I don 't 20 have the sense that that 's in f act what would occur in an 21 evacuation at Seabrook.

3- A (Mileti) Well, let me say several things in answer 4 to that question. First, in terms of who we 're - talking about 5 which is a very small percentage of people. I honestly don't 6 believe any people are going to be doing this anyway, I think 7 they 're going to be in the back seat of other people 's cars 8 evacuating. 9 Q You 've advised the state of that, I take it? 10 A (Mileti) No, I don 't think so, but they certainly 11 are here to hear me today. 12 Q Yes, they 're here to hear you today. They 're

                                 -13  persisting in doing this.

14 A (Mileti) Second, I think if it 's listed here what  ! i 15 buildings they should go to and they 're buildings that are 16 recognizable that people will figure out a way in terms of how 17 to get there. I would presume some might if they 're close walk 18 or use whatever is at their disposal. 19 Q These are people without transportation, Dr. Mileti, 20 how else would they get there? I mean, I don 't think anybody 21 is going to be driving? 22 A (Mileti) But it 's a beach population. I mean, some 23 might have a bicycle. I mean, I wouldn 't recommend evacuation ' 24 on a bicycle.

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10120 1 back side of town, for some reason, then common sense dictates 2 that somebody is going to say, that 's- a very obscure highway 3 garage.on the back side of town and you got to go down the 4 street. 5 But that again depends upon the nature of the 6 structure that 'r selected at the time it 's selected. - If you 're .

                                                ~7 picking out a building that is the same as 10 other buildings 8  around it and unmarked, common sense would indicate that if you           .

9 want to use that for shelter that then somehow that is also 10 going to have to be marked. 11 So in terns of prearranging whether or not you 're 12 going to identify all of these structures in a message and 13 whether or not they 're all going to be signed, is kind of t 14 putting the cart before the horse in the planning case. 15 Q Well. I just thought by now in 1988 th_ cart and the 16 horse would all be lined up and ready to go; that 's my 17 question, just that we don't yet know what buildings we 're 18 talking about. I 'm j ust trying to get that -- make that or 19 have that become quite clear. 20 A (Strome) I think it 's important then to clarify 21 that, counselor. We just went through the iteration of the 22 numbers that we -- at the outside conservatively we predict. 23 And we also carefully pointed out.

I just said that the 11 population would be small. We deal with every part of the , 12 population and every contingency as best we can seriously. 13 Q But in your view it would be extremely unlikely that () 14 any individual would materializs under this heading of 15 transients without transportation? 16 A (Strome) The planning documents, the federal 17 planning documents under which we operate indicate that ride-18 sharing is perhaps the solution to the problem. 19 MR.

The offer of Rev. 2 6 which was taken by the Board, it was taken under the~ doctrine, 7 that if you will, as I explained it at that time, under the 8 Pilgrim case that an application is offered or an FSAR is 9 offered to complete the record so it would be clear what is 10 being talked about in the testimony and so forth and so on. 11 But beyond the actual reliance on Rev. 2 that is 12 undertaken it is not -- there is no intention to offer this new 13 revision of the plan as part of the applicant 's case, and there

We 'll 9 take it up again, if you like, but can we accommodate Dr. 10 Mileti and conclude the cross-examination with him. 11 CROSS-EXAMINATION 12 BY MS.

         ?? event that a decision is made to order sheltering for the 23 general beach population?

With r 10 reference to the sentence which Mr. Traficonte cross-examined il you at length about on page 20, about the owners and operators 12 of public access facilities will make their facilities 13 available, would it affect your testimony if the owners and i 14 operators of shelters in the beach area believe that by opening 15 .arxi closing sheltered doors, letting the public in that 16 radiation could be brought in, that they themselves could 17 become contaminated, if owners and operators were concerned 4 > l 18 about that, would you be less inclined to support this i 19 testimony that they would freely let the members of the public , 20 into the shelters? , 21 A (Mileti) In a very unique circumstance that you l 22 haven't qualified in your question I could conjure up in the l 23 world of hypothetical examples, which I 'm good at conj uring up. 24 a circumstance in which persons would seek to avoid contact 1 25 with the outside air.

() 1 However, the emergencies that have been presented to 2 me as possible of happening at nuclear powerplants including 3 Seabrook as well as the kinds of recommendations that are being 4 made in the EBS messages don 't lead me to conclude that that 5 sort of perception would occur amongst persons inside 6 buildings. But I certainly could inegine one hypothetically. 7 Q Well, you will agree that the general premise of 8 shelter is, you close doors, you close windows and you get away 9 from openings that connect to the outside; is that right? 10 A (Mileti) In general, yes, and it involves other 11 things as well, of course. 12 Q So you assume, for example, an owner is sitting in a 13 shop and he has closed the windows and doors and there are (~)/ s_ 14 people that want to get in, and based upon his concern, either 15 that he 's gotten through the EBS message or assume that he is 16 aware that radiation could be brought in by contaminated 17 people; in that circumstance would you agree he may not open 18 that door? 19 A (Mileti) I'd have to answer that question in almost 20 the same way; I can imagine a hypothetical circumstance in 21 which an emergency could occur in which people did not offer 22 help to strangers or other members of the public. 23 Q Even if they believe they were going to be 24 contaminated by radiation? 25 MR.

And the 5 empirical record suggests that that is not the case'when there 6 are the kinds of emergencies we 're talking about, when other 7 human beings are in fact the risk in, for example, medical

11 But intensity of event that would have to lead to 12 that sort of perception, I just don't see and I certainly don't . 13 have the technical expertise, that kind of information () 14 available to the public given the Mind of information imagined 15 to be presented here or the kind of physical evidence that 16 would be required in order to come to that conclusion. 17 So, yes, in the world of hypothetical that 's a  ! 18 possibility.

But I don 't suspect that 's likely.

     ) 14      Q    Do you know under the New Hampshire plan who will be                   [

15 rewriting or modifying these EBS messages? 16 A (Mileti) I was asked that question I think the last  ! 4 17 time I was somewhere. I don't remember if it was this room or r 18 not, and my answer then was the same as it is now. I suspect 19 the Of' ace of Emergency Services and/or the Governor or other 20 sorte of officials would have that in their domain.

21 Q Do you think that performing that function would [

22 require specific training or specialized knowledge in order to 23 do it appropriately? 24 A (Mileti) I don't think it would require  ; 25 sophisticated knowledge. I think it 's knowledge that could be  ! l () Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888 , t b

1 PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10134 () 1 acquired by having done this often in learning how to issue 2 emergency warnings, or it could be knowledge that could be 3 acquired through a conversation with. .for example a person 4 like myself. 5 Now whether or not they possess that knowledge since 6 I really don't even know who the) are, I can 't answer. 7 .Q So you don 't think, is it fair to say, that it 's 8 difficult to write a good EBS message; is that your testimony't 9 A (Mileti) There are only a handful of things one 10 needs to keep in mind, and I don 't think it is difficult, no. 11 I think it 's difficult to overcome the constraints of what is 12 generic, not empirically based popular culture about EBS i 13 messages. For example, begin with the words "don 't panic", et () 14 cetera. That 's a dif ficult constraints, set of constraints to 15 overcome. But how to write a good one is certainly not 16 difficult, in my opinion. 17 Q Assuming it 's tru? that it 's not dif ficult to write 18 an EBS message, I believe you are testifying, can you explain l 19 why we have gone through the number of drafts of EBS messages 20 that we have with these plans? 21 Why is it so difficult to get it right? 22 A (Mileti) I don 't know the reason. There have been l 23 more than one version of the EBS messages as to do with getting 24 it right. I think it has to do with the American political 25 system and that there are so many different jurisdictions and l-(1) Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888 i l 1

It seems to l 22 me that, or I should say I can conceive of that sentence ! 23 embracing two kinds of almost completely separable sorts of 24 reactions. 25 One, the reaction of beachgoers to an EBS message. O Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10136 1 The other, the reaction of a building -- a person in control of ( }- 2 a building the ingress of people wanting to.make use of that 3 building for sheltering. 4 In the'first instance, you have given what I consider 5 logical answers as to why a person driving an automobile would 6 stop and pick somebody up because he thinks they don't have 7 transportation. Call it altruism or whatever. 8 In the second instance, I can conceive of somebody in ,

9 the control of a building taking the position that I don 't like 10 that plant and why should I help any way possible.

11 Now, I ask you if the second part of that sentence 12 which addresses or includes the latter kind of scenario I have

13 just hypothesized has been considered by you in the light of

() 14 studies of any sort that allow you to reliably expect that l 15 people in control of buildings will indeed let their emotions - 16 about, in this case the influx or the potential coming in of 17 the Seabrook plant, let their emotions override their altruism. - 18 In other words. I am a little bit curious how you 19 with equal confidence address both halves of both scenarios , t 20 embraced in that sentence. .

For example, to not liking utilities, and for one 2 reason or another. 3 One of the things that surprised me back in "79, 4 spending time at the TMI site, was that many of the members of 5 the public did not in fact vent, during the emergency, anger at 6 the utility. Of course, that came afterwards. 7 In this case, I think the owners of buildings would 8 not be responding a.e. they might on a questionnaire that was 9 asked this year or last year in terms of their opposition or 10 emotions toward a utility that they dislike for whatever 11 reason. 12 In an actual emergency they wouldn't be responding by 13 opening their buildings as a sentiment for the utility. They () 14 would be responding in response to the people who needed 15 shelter. And whether or not they like the utility or not would 16 have very little to do with them offering aid to the people 17 that they have been there all those years to service, their 18 clients if you will. 19 And at that very human level, I hate having to say 20 this, bu t maybe we 're lucky that I have to say this. We have 21 not observed mass sheltering of people where this phenomenon 22 has occurred, that I know of, that 's been studied empirically. 23 But the generic theory, which I did have in my ETE testimony 24 about people helping one another, manifests itself in a variety 25 of ways and at a higher level of abstraction which is the role O \~ Heritage Reporting Cor, cion (202) 628-4888

13 A (Strome) Perhaps I could help. The paragraph to 14 which you refer, roman number II-31. maybe perhaps it will i

15 clarify the question in my mind, too, but the paragraph 5 i 16 specifically says: "Transients located in buildings which may { 17 serve as suitable shelters be asked to shelter at the locations [

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10151 1' understanding it correctly that this volume expanded the-2 definition of those who may.be asked to evacuate? 3 A (Wallace) Could we have a brief conference together? 4 (Witnesses conferring.) 5 THE WITNESS: (Bonds) I 'd like to, I think,'perhaps 6 clear up an issue before it becomes more of an issue. Volume 1 7 is the foundation for the plan. Volume 16 is one of 17, 18 8 separate community volumes. Volume 16. given that this was 9 revised in the nost recent amendment, has been massaged. you 10 know, it -- given that this was written in '86, this is written 11 in '88, we 've bec ; me a little bit more sophisticated in our 12, language. 13 But the intention here in volume 16, roman number II-() 14 31 is not to bury a definition that we 've changed outside of 15 the core document. We stand by the core document. Now, if 16 there 's e matter of nuance we have to answer for why the nuance 17 is in 16 and it wasn 't put into volume 1; I can 't explain that. 18 But to the extent that they are the same, you know, 19 we stand by them both. If they 're as different as night and 20 day, then we 've got a problem that needs to be corrected. But > 21 volume 1 carries the weight of the plan. 22 BY MS. SNEIDER: 23 Q Now, the page that I'm referring to in volume 16 has 24 a date of 2/88 on it? 25 A (Bonds) Yes. O Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS- 10152 () 1 Q So that has recently been updated; Lam I right? 2 A -(Bonds) It 's recently updated in a little Rev. bar 3 on the far side with the 2 on it is where the change was made. 4 .!h) apparently this has been changed prior to this most.recent 5 iteration to read the way it does. 6 The core definition that we 're working with is on 7 2.6-6.

10 THE WITNESS: CBonds) Yes. 11 BY MS. SNEIDER: I- 12 Q Okay. 13 A (Bonds) I think the consensus is that volume 16, 14 II-31 simply bears a refinement that hasn't gotten its way into 15 2.6-6 yet; I can't explain the reason why. j 16 A CWallace) But it 's the same basic shelter-in-place 17 concept. 18 Q Okay. But of the two you -- the concept in volume 16 19 would be the guiding concept; if that 's the proper phrase? ! 20 A (Wallace) If there are major differences, but I 21 don 't see really maj or dif ference. In the concept there 's a f 22 couple of different words, but certainly there was no intent in 23 terms of having any different concept being conveyed in the 24 later volume of the local plan over the foundation document, 25 volume 1. i Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10153 () 1 Q Okay. Well, if I can go on, further on that page it 2 states: "If necessary, transients without transportation may 3 seek directions to a nearby public building from local 4 emergency workers. Public buildings may be selected and opened S as shelters for transients on an ad hoc basis if an unforeseen 6 denand for shelter arises during an emergency;" did I read that 7 accurately? 8 A CWallace) (Nods affirmatively.) 9 Q Does this last sentence, referring to the "ad hoc 10 opening of public buildings for shelter," does that provision 11 refer only to shelter for the transit-dependent population? 12 A (Wallace) Yes. 13 (Witnesses conferring) 14 MS. SNEIDER: Can I continue? 15 THE WITNESS: (Wallace) Yes. 16 BY MS. SNEIDER: 17 Q Now. Revision 2 prior to the recent amendment 18 provided with respect to the beach area visitors that, quote: 19 "Sheltering may not be considered fearible protective action on 20 the sea coast beaches during the summer," is that correct? 21 That sentence has been entirely deleted in the new. 22 with the new amendments; is that -- 23 A (Strome) We would have to check volume 1 to see if 24 that 's been taken out of volume 1, but I think it has been 25 taken out of -- if it wasn 't volune 16.

Turning back to you, Dr. Wallace, with respect 11 to the plans definition of sheltering which is contained at 12 volume 1, page 2.6-47 13 A (Wallace) Yes, I have that. () 14 Q The plan provides here that, states, quote: , 15 "Sheltering involves remaining inside, closing all doors and 16 windows, turning off ventilation systene, utilizing air drawn 17 from outside, extinguishing all unnecessary combustion, and 18 sealing to the extent possible all other access to the outdoor 19 air " is that correct? 20 A (Wallace) That 's correct. 21 Q And it goes on to state: "Heavier construction 22 materials or increased layers of building materials increase 23 the amount of protection from exposure to radiation, therefore , 24 shelter should be sought in the lowest level of the building, 25 e.g., in basements, away from windows," is that accurate?

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10157 ./ ~ ( ). 1 A (Wallace) It 's accurate. 2 Q Okay. And would you agree with those provisions? 3 A (Wallace) Yes, that 's basic part of sheltering. 4 Q Okay. 5 A (Wallace) That 's basic definition. 6 Q And the plan further states that generally sheltering 7 can provide protection for two to five hours, would you also 8 agree with that. Dr. Wallace? 9 A (Wallace) Were you reading that from somewhere here? 10 Q I believe it 's on page 2. 6-4? 11 A (Wallace) I don 't see it there. 12 Q Well, would you agree with that statement? 13 A (Wallace) Well, a lot of the dose savings effect of 14 sheltering depends on a lot of different situations, so I don 't 15 think you can place any particular time frame on the length of 16 time that sheltering is effective. That 's why I was asking 17 whether it 's specifically worded in there as in terms of the 18 numbers of hours. 19 CDiscussion off the record.) 20 BY MS, SNEIDER: 21 Q Mr. Cellendrello just provided you with volume 4, 22 appendix G of Revision 2, and I believe that 's the unamended 23 version? 24 A (Callendrello) The clarification -- 2S MR.

3 A (Callendrello) Before you ask any questions. I do 4 not have a copy of Revision 2, dated 2/88 in f ront of me, so S maybe before we get started if I can get a copy of that, it 6 would make it a lot easier to answer some questions. 7 (Pauae) 8 THE WITNESS: (Callendrello) Okay, I 'm all set. 9 BY MS. SNEIDER: 10 Q Okay. I 'm correct, aren 't I, that on the unamended 11 Revision 2 has a message labeled "General emergency 12 (sheltering)?" 13 A (Callendrello) Yes, that 's -- yes, that is Message E 14 in -- I 'm sorry, did you say amended or unamended? The 8/86 15 version which is the unamended, yes, there is a message called 16 Message E, general emergency sheltering. 17 Q Now, is that message in the 2/88 version of the plan? 18 A (Callendrello) No, it is not. The equivalent 19 message for that one is, a combination message of evacuating 20 and sheltering. So that it 's intended to be of maximum 21 flexibility, some or all or none can -- there could be 22 sheltering or evacuation for any combination of towns. 23 Q Okay. Well, let me start by asking you some 24 questions on Message E, the 8/86 version. 25 A (Callendrello) Okay. O Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888 i

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10160 () 1 Q I take it that is the message according to Revision 2 2 that is, to be read for a general emergency where sheltering is 3 advised; is that correct? 4 A (Callendrello) Yes. 5 Q And sheltering would be advised, presumably, because 6 that is the response that would provide the greatest dose 7 savings; is that right? 8 A (Callendrello) I think the state has indicated that 9 there are more than one condition where sheltering would be 10 recommended. Greatest dose saving is one of them. Also, for 11 some reason, local conditions precluded the evacuation. There 12 also be a sheltering recommendation. 13 Q In reading that message you're suppose to circle any

   ) 14 one of the 17 towns in the New Hampshire EPZ for which 15 sheltering is recommended, and then advise the people living in 16 those towns to shelter; is that right?

17 A (Callendrello) Yes. 18 Q Now, can you read to me at the bottom of the first 19 page of that general emergency sheltering message the 20 instructions to be given persons in the Seabrook and Hampton 21 Beach area? 22 A (Callendrello) To make sure I 'm on the right page. 23 it 's page G-25? I think it is, it 's the first page of the 24 Revision 2. 8/86 version of the message. It says, quote: 25 "Persons working or visiting beach areas in the towns of Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10161 > () 1 Hampton and Seabrook from North Shore Road and Ocean Boulevard 2 to the north, and Route 286 and Ocean Boulevard to the south 3 are advised to leave the area."

SNEIDER: 10 Q So persons at Hampton Beach and Seabrook Beach would 11 be advised to leave the area even when other persons in Hampton 12 and Seabrook would be advised to shelter; am I right? 13 A (Callendrello) Not within the same geographical 14 area. The beach areas, people working, visiting or living in 15 the beach areas are advised to evacuate, it 's the other 16 residents of the community that are advised to shelter. 17 Q But in those same towns? 18 A (Callendrello) Yes 19 Q Would be advised to shelter. 20 Now, if we could turn to -- 21 A (Callendrello) Could you just hold on one second. 22 (Witnesses conferring) 23 THE WITNESS: CCallendrello) Just so it is clear, 24 that is what the old message leads you to. i 25 Heritage Reportind Corporation (202) 628-4888 l t

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10163 () 1 A (Callendrello) Yes. And that -- if you look at the 2 beginning of that, that is a seasonal message and for that. 3 those several months in the summer that would be the 4 recommendation. It is possible in the off season to recommend 5 sheltering for those communities when there is not a large 6 beach population. 7 Q There 's no place in this message that states, do not 8 recommend shelter to Seabrook, Hampton Falls, and Hampton 9 during summer months, is there? 10 A (Callendrello) Well, this message is kind of the 11 tail of the dog. The head of the dog is the protective action 12 recommendation procedure that is implemented by the Department 13 of Public Health and by Emergency Management. () 14 What is driven by that are certain actions including 15 the preparation of the appropriate EBS message. So that input 16 is provided to the person who is formulating the EBS message. 17 Q In all circumstances, during the summer months from 18 May 15th to September 15th people on the beaches and parks in 19 Seabrook and Hampton would be advised to evacuate; is that 20 accurate, according to that message? 21 A (Callendrello) Yes, according to that message. 22 Q Well, that 's all I 'm asking you is, according to that 23 message. 24 A (Callendrello) Okay. But as I indicated. the person 25 preparing this message is receiving direction from an Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10164 (~h (_,i i individual who has j ust made a decision and done an evaluation 2 of whatever protective action is appropriate. 3 A (Strome) I think just to clarify this somewhat. 4 there seems to be an inference here that it 's either/or, you 5 know, either shelter or evacuation. We 've made it clear. I 6 think, in everything that we put together in these planning 7 documents that evacuation is much the preferred method of 8 taking care of those people. So if there 's any inf erence that 9 it 's either/or and that they 're equal weight, that 's not the to case. 11 Q I 'm just tr ying to get some clarification right now 12 what is in the emergency messages provided in the plan; I 'm not 13 trying -- that 's all I 'm trying to get right now. 14 The only exception to the provision that people on 15 the beaches and parks in Seabrook and Hampton evacuate is for 16 the transit-dependent population. I believe, who will be 17 advised to wait inside for a bus; is that correct? 18 A (Callendrello) That 's what that message says. There 19 are other possible outcomes from the protective action -- 20 Q I 'm only asking now about the emergency messages. 21 And the buildings they 're to wait in have not yet 22 been designated, have they? 23 A (Callendrello) Other than in general categories of ,. I 24 buildings, no. ' 25 Q Is there any message provided in the plan now that Heritage Reporting Corporation ' (202) 628-4888

PANEL NO. 6 - CROSS 10165 i () 1 advises public on the beaches in Hampton and Seabrook to 2 shelter? l 3 A (Callendrello) In answering that I assume you mean  ; 4 the population beyond the transients without transportation? l 1 5 Q That 's correct. P G A (Callendrel lo) No. there 's no message that 7 specifically addresses sheltering for the beach population. 8 Q Okay, i 9 A But again, as I indicated through a message -- 10 through an answer to Mr. Traficonte, the beginning part of that 11 procedure provides a note to the person who is implementing it i 12 and that is, these messages are samples and they can be amended , 13 in any way to assure adequate information is relayed to the ,

 \~ 14 public.

15 Q Okay. Now, with the exception of the decisionmaking i 16 criteria which we had not yet discussed, would you say that we 17 have covered essentially all of Revision 2 provisions with . 18 respect to sheltering for the beach population? i 19 A (Callendrello) I don't understand that question. It ' 20 would help me out if you indicated. covered where? 21 Q Well, with respect to definition of sheltering in 22 volume 1. page 2. 6-7 we 've discussed emergency broadcast 23 messages and we 've discussed volume 16 the local plans [ 24 definition of sheltering. I believe that 's all we 've > 25 discussed. But are there any other provisions in the plan ( Heritage Reporting Corporation , (202) 628-4088 < y--- - _ - - - .-_,-_.y. --_.ev w --.---m- a , - , _ . , , - , .

Is 3 there any other place that references sheltering for the beach 4 population? l 5 A (Callendrello) Other than the decisionmaking 6 criteria? 7 Q Right? 8 A (Callendrello) And you 're referring solely to what 's 9 contained in the plan? 10 Q Right, the plan, Revision 2? 11 A (Callendrello) I 'm not aware of any, but Mr. Bonds 12 nay have something to add. 13 A (Bonds) I can't think of any of fhand, but that 14 doesn 't mean that there aren 't any; I just can't think of any 15 right now. 16 Q Okay.
