RF, VIEW AND EVALUATION OF SEABROOK PLAN FOR MASSACHUSETTS COMMUNITIES INTRODUCTION t This review was conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region I (FEMA I), with the assistance of the Regional Assistance Committee (RAC).
The RAC is thlred by FEMA and has the following membero U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA): U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC): U.S. Department of Energy (DOE): U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS): U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI); U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT); U.S. Environmental Protection ,
Agency (EPA): and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The RAC functions ,
in accordance with 44 C.F.R. Part 351, "Radiological Emergency Response Planning and Response."
On November 3,1987, the NRC amended its rules to trovide criteria for the !
evaluation of utility prepared emergency plans in situat!ons in which state andhr local !
governments decline to participate further in emergency planning. On December 2, -
1987, FEMA and the NRC promulgated an interim ~use document entitled "Criteria for i
- Preparation and Evaluation of Radiologleal Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness j in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (Criteria for Utility Offsite Planning and Preparedness)". The document was published in November 1987 ss Supplement 1 to l NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1. Supplement I was issued as a final document h l
September '1988. The guidance contained in Supplement 1 is to be used for the
.developrtent, review, and evaluation of offsite' utility radiological planning and peparedness for at.eldents at commercial nuclear power plants.
l This FEMA review and evaluation used NUREG-Of!$4/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1 ,
! Supp.1, September 1988, as the basis (planning standards and speelfle critarla) for determintng the adequacy of the New Hampshire Yankee Seabrook Plan for !
Massachusetts Communities. FEM A Guidance Memoranda (GM) and FEM A REP-series documents were utillred to interpret and clarify the criteria contained in Supplement 1.
I Following is a summary of the material that has been submitte1 to FEMA for l
review and evaluations ;
On September 18, 1987, Public Servlee Company of New Hampshire, New r
- Hampshire Yankee Division (NHY), submitted to the NRC Revision 4 of the "Seabrook l Plan for Massachusetts Communttles," hereafter referred to as the Plan or SPMC. The Plan constated of *0 volumes, and one envelope with Publie Information Materials. The volumes are as follows: Plant Procedures Plan Appendizes A through GI Plan Appendix Hi Plan Appendix la l'lan Appendix J Plan Appendix K Plan Appendix Li Plan Appendix Mi and Plan Appendix K. It should be noted that certain proprietary
( Information was redacted from the submitted material, t On November 27,1987, the NRC formeded the Plan to FEMA, Uncer provisions of the FEMA /HRC Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) of April 1985, the NRC 1 requested FEMA to review the Plan and provide findings (Interim finding). The NRC i

requested that FEMA utilize the Supplement 1 eriteria document as the basis for FEMA's review, evaluation, and FEMA findings.
On December 2,1987, the NRC supplemented its November 27, 1987 request to FEMA. The NRC requested FEMA to use the following assumption in reviewing and evaluating the Plan: FEMA should assume that in an actual radiologleal emergency, State and local officials that have declined to participate in emergency planning wills exercise their best efforts to protect the health and safety of the publici cooperate with the utility and follow the utility offsite plang and have the resources sufficient to implement those portions of the utility offsite plan where State and local response is necessary.
On December 18, 1387, NHY wrote the NRC stating that NHY expected NRC and FEMA to utilize Supplement 1 for the Federal review and evaluatlon.
On December 30, 1937, NHY provided to the NRC certain information that was I redacted from Revision 0 of the Plan.
On December 30, 1987 FEMA Region I requested the RAC and the FEM staff to review the Plan. FEMA Region I cesignated Mr. Richard W. Donovan to serve as the l RAC Chairman for the review and evaluation of the Plan (Seabrook RAC Chat'rman).
On January 7,1988 the Deputy Assistant General Counsel for the NRC notified Interested parties that the Alerting System (strens in the plume EPZ portion of the
. Commonwealth of Massachusetts) described in the Plan will no longer be relled upon by NHY.
On January 15, 1988, the Seabrook RAC Chairman recuested that the FEMA Region 1 RAC utilize Supplement 1 for their review. The Seabrook RAC Chairman informed the RAC that the following assumptions were to be applied to the review and evaluation of the Plant in .n actual radiologleal emergency, State and local officials that have declined to participate in emergency planning wills exercise their best efforts to protect the health and safety of the publici cooperate with the utility and follow the utility offsite plan: and have the resources suffielent to implement those portions of the utility offsite plan where State and local response is necessary.
On January 20,1988, NRC provided certain redacted material to FEMA.
,, On February it.1988 NHY provided additional Information in response to the NRC letter, dated February 5,1988. tw following Information was provided: Seabrook Station Evacuation Time Estimates and Traffle Manageme $t Plan Documentation on the I

REVIEW AND EVALUATION AGAINST PLANNING 1rrANDARDS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA A. Assignment of Responalbility (Organization Control)(Planning Standard A):
Primary responsibilities for emergency response by the nuclear facility licensee, and by State and local organizations within the Emergency Planning Zones have been assigned, the emergency responsibilities of the various supporting organizations have been speelfically established, and each principal respcnse organization has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis.
Evaluation Criterion A.1.a. The offsite 71an shall Ider.tify the elements of the offsite response organizat!on t ir Emegene Planning Zones (see Appendix 5 of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-R' T-1, Rev.1)
Statement A.1.a. The Plan (Table 2.0-1) defines the offsite response organization as including the New Hampshire Yankee Offsite Response Organization (NHY ORO),
~
supported by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the DO!, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Amerlean Red Cross, and sarious private t organizations. Although Table 2.G-1 inJteates that NHY ORO communicates with the USCG and the FAA, the Plan states in Section 3.1 that "[rlequests to t! e U.S. Coast Guard and Federal Aviation Administration will be coordinated through the host state for Seabrook, New Hampshire." According to Section 1.1 of the Plan, the Comn.onwealth
, of Massachusetts, the City of Newburyport, and the Towns of Amesbury, Merrimme. Newbury, Salisbury, and West Newbury are not currently participating in emergency planning for Seabrook Station. The Plan l Includes the Amerlean Red Cross as a participating organization and the Red Cross has stated in a letter to NHY dated September 10, 1987 thatit l will respond in case of an emergency. However, a discussion on ,
February 23, 1988 between FEMA staff and Red Cross Southern New '
England staff indleated that the Red Cross is not presently wrticipating in i
this planr.ing process. The Plan hc.s been developed in recognition of, and ,
to compensate for the fact that, the Commonwealth of Marsachusetts and above-mentioned local communities are not currently participating in ,

Procedures have been established for notification, by the licensee of State and local response organizations and for notification of emergency personnel by all response organizations; the content of initial and followup messages to response organizations and public has been established: and means to provide early notification ano clear instruction to the populace within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone have been established.
Evaluation Criterion E.1. The offsite response organization shall establish procedures which desertoe the bases for notification of all response organizations consistent vith the emergency classification and action level scheme set forth in Appendix 1 of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1. These procedures shall include means for wrification of messages. The specific details of verification need not be included in the offsite plan.
Statement E.1, Notification of response organizations is triggerr d by the standard four-level ECL scheme from NUREG-0654 FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1.
Initial notification of the NHY ORO is addressed in Section 3.2.2. It is performed by the Seabrook Station Control Room Communicator contacting the NHY ORO EOC Contact Point, using the NAS or one of two backup systems. Verification will not be performed if notification is via NAS since it is a secure system If a backup system is used, verification will be by call-back over the same system. At ECLs of Alert or h!gher, receipt of notification will be taken over by the NAS Communleator upon arrival at the NHY ORO EOC.
Notification of Massachusetts state and local government agencies is addresse , in section 3.2.3. The Seabrook Statlan Control Room Communleator will notify the Massachusetts State Pollee. TM Plan references the Massachusetts Radiologleal Emergency Response Plan with
' respect to notification of other Commonwealth and local government units by the State Pollee. The NHY ORO EOC Contact will also provide backup notification to local government dispatchers at ECLs of Alert or higher.
Notification of Federal and support organizations is addressed in section 3.2.4. Responsibility for notification of Federal agencies is placed with the State of New Hampshire as the host state (p. 3.2-12), except that the NHY ORO EOC Contact or the NAS Communicator will notify the DOI at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge in order to implement public notification.
Oceeber 1938 22 The NHY ORO will also notify contracted support organizations: e.g., bus companies, road crew companies, ambulance companies, and the Red Cross.
Table 3.2-1 Indicates who within the NHY ORO !s respoasible for contact-ing each type of support organization, and at what ECL. All support orguizations are contacted at Alert or higher ECLs, but many are only notitled after the responsible notifier has arrived at their response facility.

The current capability of the identified EBS i radio station includes the ability to record and broadcast emergency lastructions and Information to the public. The primary EBS station has a e backup power supply. ;
l
'~ The Public Notifleation Coordinator, once the NHY ORO is activated, ;
begins preliminary planning with the Radiologleal Health Advisor and the l Technical Advisor regarding the possible PARS. Upon the orders of the !
NHY Offsite Response Director, the Public Notification Coordinator i selects the appropriate EBS message, completes the appropriate sections, i reviews the message with the NHY Offsite Response Director, coordinates }
the menage with the State of New Hampshire, and the appropriate i Massachusetts offletal, obtales the NHY Offsite Response Directer's r approval for broadensting the EBS message, faxes the EDS message to the !
EDS redlo station, requests the EBS radio station to broadcast the message three times consecutively, and than every 15 minutes thereafter. The ;
Public Notification Coordinator has the responsibility to direct the ;
- Communleations Coordinator to activate the steen system and to sovise the [
Speelal Population Coerdinator on the need to initiate notifloation of i hearing-tmpaired people. Actual broadeant of the message is monitored by i the Public Notifleation Coordinator. The Public Notification Coordinator l also supplies copies of the EBS messe;e to the Public information Advisor, l the Support Servlees Coordinator, the School Coordinator, and the Speelal Pupulation Coordinator. l L
in a fast breaking emergency, the Seabrook Station Short-Term Emergency Diree'or can request authorization from the Governor of Massachusetts and i pe* form the EBS functions ordinarily performed by the Public Notification l Coordinator. (See discussion under element E.6.) [

The Plan does not address communications with local governments in New Hampshire. The State of New Hampshire will coordinate any actions necessary on behalf of local New Hampshire governments.
Figure 4.0-1 states that MAGI is an additional backup communications link between the New Hampshire State EOC and the ORO EOC, which is Inconsistent with the' statement in Appendix H (p. H-91) that RACES is the link. Massachusetts Government Interface (MAGI) is the collective name given to several radio networks that can be used to coordinate emergency response activities of Federal, state, local, and private response organlastions. We note that RACES is one component of MAGl.
The Plan addresses communications with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by means of NAS, with commercial telephones, and the MAGI as backups. Appendix H contains commerelat telephone numbers of the offices of other relevant Massachusetts agencies.
The Plan provides that eommunlestions with local Massachusetts EOCs will
, be by means of commercial telephone as the primary system, and the MAGI system as backup. For five of the six local governments there are five elements for MAGli state-to-local radio frequency; local dispatch radio networks command and control radio frequeneyt RACES: and NESPERN.
For Amesbury, there are only the first two elements.

Evaluation Criterion F.1.d. provision for communications between the niclear facility and the lleensee's near-site Emergency Operations Facility, offsite response organization's emergency operaticas centers, and radiological monitoring teams:
Statement F.1.d. The Plan provides for three communlestions links with each of three Seabrook Lation faelll*:c (ne control room, the Technical Support Center, and the EOF, These links are NAS, Dimension 2000, and commercial telephone. These systems are located in the Communications Room of the NHY ORO EOC and are manned by the NHY ORO EOC Contact or the NAS Communicator.
The primary communications link with the radiological monitoring teams and sample collection teams is the Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) Radio Network, with commercial telephone as backup. The NHY ORO EOC staff person with responsibility for communicating with the field monitoring teams and sample collection teams is the Field Team Dispatcher, who reports to "le Accident Assessment Coordinator.
The Plan addresses commun! cations between the NHY ORO EOC and the Staging Area, the Emergency Worker Facility, the iteception Centers, and the Monitoring Trailers at the Reception Centers. For all these facilities, one communleations link is the NHY ORO Emergency Radio Network, which consists of four paired frequencies. For the Emergency Worker Facility and Monitoring Trallers another communications link is cordless telephone. We could not locate the Legend on Fig. 4.0-1 for cordless telephones. For the Staging Area and Reception Centers, commercial telephone is another communications link. For the Congregate Care Centers, commercial telephone is the only communleations link speelfled.
From the Figure showing the layout of the Staging Area (Figure 5.2-4), it has 20 commercial telephones, an Emergency Medleal Service (EMS) radio, and four ORO Emergency radios. Special Vehicle Dispatchers. Evacuation Support Dispatchers, Local EOC Liaisons, Special Population Liaisons, and School Liaisons share telephones (two per extension). However, Appendix H (p. H-77) Indicates that the Special Population and School L!alsons each have their own telephones. We note that Local EOC liaisons are provided cellular telephones. The figures showing the layout of the Monitoring Trailers (Figure 5.2-9) and the Emergency Worker Facility (Figure 5.210) do not show any communications equipment in these trailers. From the
. . Octcber 1988 3g figures showing the layout of the Reception Centers (Figures 5.2-6 and 5.2-8), thtre are at least two telephones and two NHY ORO Emergency radio frequeneles at s. 7h Reception Center. One telephone is for the Reception Center Leaders the other communications equipment are manned by Reception Center Staff.

In the ETE, two Emergency Response Planning Areas (ERPAs) were defined to include the six Massachusetts communities: ERPA B, comprising Amesbury and Salisbury; and ERPA E, comprising Merrimac, Newbury, Newburyport, and West Newbury. Evacuation time estimates were calculated for these ERPAs. The overall evacuation time estimates for ERPAs B and E include the evacuation time estimates for the persons at the Massachusetts beaches, for transit-dependent persons, and for special facility populations.
IP 2.10 (Attachment 2) assigns priorities for evacuating special facilities.
We could not locate in the Plan the methodology used to assign those priorities. ' NHY indicated during conversations with FEMA staff that the following methodology was used to assign prioritim schools were prioritized strictly based on distance from Seabrook Ste:.on. The hospitals were all considered high priority, both because there are only two, and because of the criticality of their population. The priorities were established on a town-specific basis, whereby each town has several prlority levels, from highest (1) to lowest (4). We note that NHY ORO will consider recommending early evacuation of schools or closing of schools if they,are not open at both a SAE and GE ECL.

NHY ORO has adopted the concept df operation for pas in the Ingestion Exposure EPZ as follows:
- PRECAUTIONARY PROTECTIVE ACTIONS: Recommend that milk animals in the plume EPZ be placed on stored feed and in shelters at GE ECL.
- PREVENTIVE PROTECTIVE ACTIONS: Recommend pas if the measured contamination of foodstuffs exceeds the preventive derived response levels.
- EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ACTIONS: Recommend pas if the
- measured contamination of foodstuffs exceeds the emergency derived response levels.
The Plan in Section 3.4.2 provides for ingestion PARS and pas to be communicated to the general public and food processors by means of news releases and EBS message. IP 2.6 assigns the Radiological Health Advisor the responsibility to assist in the development of appropriate news releases. After recommending an ingestion exposure pathway PAR the NHY Offsite Response Director will direct the Public Information Advisor to develop a news release. After authorization from the Commonwealth, the Public Information Advisor will be Instructed to issue the news release.

NHY ORO will request that the Massachusetts Department of Food and v Agriculture, the USDA, and the FDA implement ingestion exposure pathway pas. IP 2.6 directs tne NHY Offsite Response Director, upon authorization from the Commonwealth, to Instruct the Radiological Mealth Advisor to begin contacting farms and food processors / distributors affected by the pas. The Plan references the process to provide written public Instructions material to be directed at farmers, farm workers, food processors, and distributors within the ingestion exposure EPZ.
The Ingestion pathway database (Appendix L) does contain appropriate information for accident assessment and implementation of ingestion pathway pas. FEMA staff reviewed the material that is being placed in a computerized data basei the format of the data base, and sample outputs of the, data base. The reporting formats (outputs) and data base will provide for complete coverage (lists of farms, producers, processors, distributors, etc.) of ingestion pathwayr within the Massachusetts portion of the Seabrook Ingestion exposure EPZ.

. e Octobar 1988 A-26 ATTACHMENT A SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS INTRODUCTION: Most of the supplementary materials are intended for distribution to the transient population. Many of the materials have been produced in French and English versions, due to Seabrook's proximity to the Can dlan border. The French versions are Identical in format and design to their English counterparts. Examination of the Frer.ch translations reveals that they are accurate, use appropriate vocabulary, and though written in the French of France, they are comprehensible to Canadian
- French-speaking readers.
The following reviews and evaluations are on the set of documents identified as part in the Plan as part of the public education program.
A FOLD-OUT BROCHURE ENTITLED "MASSACHUSETTS EMERGENCY PLAN INFORMATION" This brochure, printed in both English and French, is apparently intended for distribution to the Massachusetts transient population. The content is appropriate to the Intended
- audience. The document is logically sequenced and simply worded (the reading level of most passages is 5th-6th grade). Provisions of this brochure should enable transients to protect themselves in the event of a nuclear emergency at Seabrook. The issues are as follows:
- the proposed changes to the section on notification "How you Would be told About an Emergency" (Attachment 3, section A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M, 7/27/88) would make this document appropriate for the intended audiences eg., there is a discussion of appropriate actions to take.
- the proposed changes to the format (Attachment B, section !!,7/27/88) would provide for easier handling.
e the proposed changes to 'he map (Attachment B, section L and M) would deteribe and Indicate the appropriate evacuation routes.
- the propose.: changes to text of the evacuation route for Salisbury (Attachm?nt B, section L and M) would make the map and text in the flyer consiste.it with that described in Appendix J.
Octobor 1988 * -

EMERGENCY INFORMATION DECALS !
These decals, available in both English and bilingual English/ French, use a simple format ;
to provide s brief description of nctification procedures and identification of EBS '
stations. Primarily intended for display at places of business and at special facilities, '
they are also mailed to EPZ residents and are a useful addition to the calendar document. !
"LETTER" TO HOTEL / MOTEL / RESTAURANT OWNERS AND "LETTER" TO t EMPLOYERS [
t
- These virtually identical letters request cooperatfort in distributing an accompanying set ,
of materials (stickers, posters, brochures, etc.). The letters are straighforward, factual, I and should pose no problems in interpretation. The proposed changes (Attachment C, f 7/27/88) to these letters would enhance their purpose in that encouragements are ,
i provided for the letter recipients to develop plans and Inform their employees. !
i "EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS" FOR RESIDENTS OF MERRIMAC, MA. AND NEWTON, NH - A PHONE BOOK AD.
- This phone book ad consists of Information taken from the text of the emergency
. brochure for Massach'usetts and placed in an 8.5" X 11" back-to-back format. It includes ,
I information about nottfloation, EBS systems serving the area, sheltering, evacuation, I reception centers, procedures for school children and those with special needs. The ad !
Includes contact phone numbers for further information as well as the addresses for reception centers for the towns of Merrimac and Newton. The proposed changes (Attachment C, item A, B, C and format,7/27/88) would enhance the instruction quality i of the ad and provide a map of the plume EPZ. The ad is action oriented and well l I sequenced to povide emergency information to the reader. See comments in following !

Octob3r 1988 A-28 REQUEST CARD FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION l This card apparently accompanies t'.1e earlier identified letters to businesses and employers. It is simple and straightforward. The card is a valuable 3djunct to the dissemination effort.
POSTERS ENTITLED "MASSACHUSETTS EMERGENCY PLAN INFORMATION" WITH EPZ MAP These large,17.5" X 23", and impressive posters provide a summary of emergency actions, school and bus routes Information, a clearly marked EPZ map, and explicit evacuation instructions. An English-only and a bilingual version are provided. These posters, if appropriately posted, could provide persons who are in places of work or leisure with access to needed information at the time of an emergency. The proposed -
changes (Attachment. C, item A, B,C, D, and format, 7/27/88) provide appropriate instructions and Informations.
FOLDOUT POSTER TYPE DOCUMENT ENTITLED "EMERGENCY BUS INFORMATION" This 8.5" X 11" (opens to 17" X 22") poster type document is produced in both English and French versions and provides specific bus route maps for six Massachusetts communities. The document is two-sided with detall maps for three towns on each side.
The maps are legible, and bus information is clearly presented.
IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS POSTER OR AD This is a single page notice of a special needs survey in the area. Graphics and typography are effectively used to reinforce the message. The distribution of this notice to newspapers, social agencies, rellglous organizations, etc., should assist in compiling a more complete database of special needs populations.
, SIGNS i 'this document apparently is intended to be a Slgn. The sign provides Information about what to do if a stren is heard. Specifically, the reader is advised to tune 'to an EBS station for instructions. This sign is bold, uncluttered, and effective in its format and design. A double-sized, bilingual version is also provided.
