LILCO'S SUPPLEMENTAL TESTIMONY ON THE REMANDED

_ ISSUE OF "ROLE CONFLICT" OF SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS

1. Q. Please state your name and business address.

A. [Crocker] My name is Douglas M. Crocker. My business address is Long Island Lighting Company,131 Hoffman Lane, Central Islip, New York 11722.

2. Q. Please state your professional qualifications.

A. (Crocker] My professional qualifications and background are detailed on pages 1 and 4-5 of our earlier testimony, Testimony of Crocker, et al. on the Remanded Issue of ' Role Conflict' of School Bus Drivers, dated April 13, 1988. My resume is Attachment 1 to that testimony.

3. Q. Would you briefly describe the purpose and scope of this supplemental testi-mony?

A. (Crocker] This testimony does three things: 1)it replaces Attachment M (draf t pages 11-19 through II-21 of the plan) and Attachment N (draf t OPIP 3.6.3, Attachment 14) to our earlier testimony on "role conflict" with At-tachments O and P, respectively, which contain the Revision 10 versions of those pages and procedure, 2) it describes the changes that were made to those draf t portions of the plan, and 3) it describes two additional changes in Revision 10 that effect LERO's school bus driver program.

4. What is Revision 10 of the LERO Plan?

A. (Crocker) Revision 10 is the most recent update of the LERO Plan. It in-corporates the FEMA RAC's comments on Revision 9 and addresses some of the concerns raised by the Frye Board in its initial decision on the 1986 Shoreham exercise. Revision 10 will be distributed to the Board and all parties within the next two weeks. Those portions of the LERO Plan that are attached to this testimony and that are discussed here are the same portions that will appear in Revision 10.

5. What changes have been made in Revision 10 that are different from that contained in Attachments M and N to your earlier testimony?

A. (Crocker] Revision 10 makes one change to the plan pages in Attachment M. That is, page I! 'aa of Revision 10 now states LILCO's understanding that some regular school bus drivers take their buses home during the school day. It further states LILCO's belief that these drivers, at a mini-mum, will return their buses to the bus yard to pick up their own vehicle before evacuating if they decide not to drive during a Shoreham emergen-cy.

Revision 10 also makes some minor changes to the LERO School Bus Driver Procedure, OPIP 3.6.5, Attachment 14, which is Attachment N to LILCO's earlier testimony. Generally, it elaborates on what each LERO school bus driver will do if called upon to evacuate schools. It also states that each bus should be loaded with 2 students per seat for high school and 3 per seat for elementary and junior high. These additions to the procedure conform with what I said in my earlier testimony. The procedure also states LERO's intention to provide each regular bus driver who has not re-ceived LERO training with KI (potassium lodide) and a TLD for her use if

a s

nne of our drivers accompanies her on the bus. (If the regular driver drives alone, then she would receive the complete assignment packet herself.)

6. Are there other changes in Revision 10 that affect LILCO's approach to its school bus driver progrant?

A. (Crocker) Yes, there are two other minor changes. First, LERO has de-cided to provide 21 extra LERO drivers to evacuate the Longwood Mid-die / Junior High School. See OPIP 3.fLE, Attachment 33 (Rev.10). In Revi-sion 9 of the Plan we provided only enough drivers to transport half of the student population, since this school is on split sessions. We have since de-cided, however, to provide enough drivers to evacuate the total atudent population ac this school, because there is a small window of time when all of the students are at the school at the same time.

The other change in Revision 10 affects how LERO would provide transportation for handicapped students who attend school in the EPZ. If schools are in session. LERO's Revision 9 procedures provide that the LERO school coordinators in the EOC will call cach school district and private school to see what action the schools intend to take and to see if they need assistance. Under Revision 10, they will also ask each school district and private schools if they need any special vehicles to evacuate handicapped students. See OPIP 3.6.5, Attachment 1 (Rev.10). If the schools do need special vehicles, LERO will dispatch ambulettes to the schools to evacuate the handicapped students.

7. Does this conclude your supplemental testimony?

A. (Crocker] Yes.

Attachment o i

For a complete summary of each organization, and its transportation and relocation plans, refer to the Evacuation Procedures of this Appendix.

Schools This section covers public and private schools, . including

' nursery schools, which are listed in Section IV of this Appendix.

Officials of public and pri" *e schools located in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone well as schools located outside the EPZ but with students '

.ive in the EPZ have the responsibility in a radiological < jency of providing their students with the best possible pro ction. There are three general alternatives available to provide for the safety of the children during an emergency. The first alternative is an early dismissal, whereby all students would be returned to their homes. The second alternative is evacuation, whereby all students would be relocated to reception centers outside the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The third alternative is sheltering students at their schools until conditions are safe for the children to either return home or be relocated. The best alternative will depend on the nature of the emergency, plant conditions, weather conditions, and time of day. The specific course of action recommended for each emergency classification is discussed below.

In the event of an emergency, schools in session will be notified of any Alert or higher emergency classification by the l

l Emergency Broadcast System and by telephone. Each public school l district, parochial school, and nursery school in the EPZ will have a tone alert receiver which will automatically activate and transmit l

the EBS message. The EBS message will advise the schools to implement specific protective actions and may contain general information about the condition of the plant, radiological conditions, etc. In addition, each school district superintendent and individual in charge of the private schools in the EPZ will be contacted by telephone by either the Public Schools Coordinator or i Private Schools Coordinator to verify that the EBS message was received and to receive requests for additional assistance.

( II-19 Rev. 5

While LERO will advise the school officials on what protective actions should be taken, the final decision lies with the School District Superintendant and private school administrators.

LERO will broadcast EBS messages announcing the protective actions taken by each school district and private school.

If an Alert or higher emergency classification is declared when schools are in the process of opening, and no protective action recommendation has been given to the public, school officials will be advised to have arriving buses return their students to their homes, and to have students who do not normally use buses return home in their usual manner. If school is not in session and an Alert or higher emergency classification is declared, school officials will be advised to cancel classes for all schools in the EPZ until the emergency is terminated.

If an Alert or Site Area Emergency is declared while schools are in session, schools will be advised to either cancel' school or dismiss their students early. If any school district informs LERO that they are not implementing the recommended action, then LERO will mobilize the LERO school bus driver for all schools.

If a parochial or nursery school informs LERO that they are not implementing early dismissal, then LERO will mobilize the needed buses from the Patchogue Staging Area as a special dispatch.

If schools within the EPZ are still in session when a protective action is recommended for the general public in any area of the EPZ, the schools will be advised to take the same protective action. That is, if some combination of sheltering and no action is ,

recommended for the general public, then the schools would be advised to shelter and put their buses on standby. If some combination of sheltering and evacuation is recommended for the general public, then the schools would be advised to evacuate to the School Relocation Centers. If schools are in the process of opening, then they will be advised to implement sheltering or evacuation, as appropriate, when their students arrive.

II-20 Rev. 10

Upon a decision by school officials to evacuate schools in the EPZ, school children will be transported by bus directly to one of two centers outside the EPZ that have been designated as relocation centers: the Nassau Coliseum or the Nassau Community College. Facilities at the Coliseum and the Community College are adequate to accommodate all of the approximately 28,000 children enrolled in public and private schools in the EPZ. Some schools, however, have made arrangements to use other facilities as relocation centers.

School districts on Long Island provide bus transportation for approximately one half of their students. School districts also provide some transportation for parochial schools. Private schools provide minimal transportation. Thus, in the event of an emergency requiring evacuation, school districts in the EPZ would be unable by themselves to evacuate all students at the same time. To provide for the capability of a "one-wave" evacuation, LERO has arranged with various bus companies on Long Island to obtain "first-call" rights to enough additional buses so that when combined with buses already provided by the schools, all school children could be evacuated in one "wave" o f buses . The number of buses required is based upon 40 high school students per bus or 60 elementary school students per bus.

It is often the case that the regular school bus drivers take their buses home during the school day. In the case of an l evacuation, these buses will be mobilized by the low yard I dispatcher. Even if the regular school bus driver decides not to drive their bus during a Shoreham emergency it is presumed (s)he l would return in the bus to the bus yard to pick up her personal car; thus making the bus available for a LERO bus driver.

l LERO will provide additional trained auxiliary bus drivers 1

to ensure that all necessary buses are manned. LERO bus drivers will be pre-assigned to designated bus yards and will be mobilized automatically if an evacuation is recommended or if any public l l II-20a Rev. 10 l

c-s school district does not implement early dismissal while schools are l in session. Bus drivers will pick up dosimetry and school assignments at the bus yards. This equipment will be either stored at the bus yard or brought by a LERO school bus driver to the bus yard. LERO bus drivers will be available to drive LERO-supplied buses and any regular school bus for which a regular driver is not available. The plan provides enough LERO bus drivers to ensure 150 percent of total bus driver needs.

Students will be transported by bus to a pre-assigned location either at the Nassau Coliseum or the Nassau Community College where they will wait to be picked up by their parents or guardians. LERO bus drivers will park their buses and assist teachers and parents at the school relocation centers. Regular bus drivers will proceed to the EWDF for monitoring and, if necessary, decontamination .

In those situations where school of ficials have pre-designated relocation facilities on their own, LERO will provide transportation assistance to these facilities as requested.

Those schools outside the EPZ which have students living in the EPZ will be requested to retain those students at the school when the school day ends, if any protective actions are recommended for the general public in any area of the EPZ.

Nursery Schools Nursery schools will be advised to implement the same protective actions as the public and private schools for each II-20b Rev. 10

emergency classification and recommended protective action. If the nursery schools are advised to evacuate the children to reception centers, LERO will provide the necessary transportation.
