50ptenber 30, 1988 Mr. Ronald Bellamy, Safegua-ds Nuclear Regulatory Jommissien i
631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, PA. 19107
Dear Mr. Bellamy:
As you know, Duxbury Citizens Urging. Responsible Energy is opposed to the restart of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station.
However, regardless of our position on that issue, we support the development of the best emergency response plan which can be achieved due to the fact that 16 years of highly radicactive vaste remains on site at Pilgrim.
l The town of Duxbury's Emergency Response Committee has made an extraordinary commitment, as have many individuals to insure that the public's health and safety are provided for in the event of an emergency at Pilgrim.
Nonetheless, our plan is far from implementation, and it remains to be seen, as the Governor has stated, if workable plans can be developed to safely provide for the evacuation j
of the population within ten elles of Pilgrim.
We object to the NEO and Boston Edison conclusion that draft plans i
i t.
kny state are satisfactorj to protect this area.
i Ke are pleased to provide the enclosed report, photographs and nautic.*
charts prepared by Duxbury resident, David Quaid.
We oncur with his findings and commend him for tireless
.1 arts to present factual information on the I
problems o;
'acuation and sheltering of the beach / transient prpulationr.
Ir. addition, Mr. Quaid has of f ered to provide t:;rs of the Gurt.et/Saguish area to interested officials.
Ke trust that you vill give these materials careful consideration vhen maka e derisions on emergency planning.
We look i
forward to your comments.
S.ncerely yours.

DavW L QueW, ASC 21 Summer 5t au.P.O. Box 1617 Duxbury, MA 023311617 September 17th. 1988 REPORT ON PROBLEMI 0F EVACUATION AND SHELTERINC OF BEACH /TkANTICHT POPULATIONS DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF PILGRIM 1 STATION.
This report and the aerial photographs contained with the repert were occasioned by the irresponsible letter of October 21st., 1987 to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission concerning beach /transdent populations by Admiral Bird of Boston Edison.
Quote: "In our submittal of June 4th., 1967, we conclude that adequate planning is possible for sheltering beach / transient popu.ations (estimated at approximately 9000 people).
Our position was then, and remains, that there is more than sufficient sheltering capacity available for shelt('ing the population of concern".
In a letter to Chairman Zech, of the NRC, I asked for representatives of his agency and of Boston Edison to tour the beach areas with me to see for themselves that absolutely no sheltering, whatsoever, exists and that much of the beach area harboring a large summer population is i
just three riles, downwind from Pilgrim 1 Station.
Dr. Ronald
- Bellamy, Chief, Facilities Radiological Safety and Safeguards Branch
[
4 made an appointment with me and on March 10th., 1986, we toured the entire area.
It being winter most of the area was quite abandoned except for some all-year residents at Gurnet Point.
He mentioned that he would line to see the area on a summer's weekend.
Tne aerial photographs were made to fulfill his recuest and those of others.
Tne photos enclosed were made on July 3rd., 1986, during the 1
period between 2:30pn and 3:30pm.
The day was chilly so the beaches i
were about 50% under-utili:ed.
This fact is obvious, when considering tne pnotos o' the 1/2 empty town parking lot und the same condition at
]
the D;xoury Putlic Searr lots.
Mr. Albert Samano, Supervisor of Off-site Safety, reported at a Duxbury Emergency Response Cor.rittee i
meetine, tnat SECO ;r.1957 had also made an "ove flicht", on a i
pleasaE.t s;r er's weesend, cf the beach areas near Pilgrin 1 Station and fro the photographs estimated the beach population at 16000 people.
l Photo 01:
Shows the proximity of Pilgrim 1 Station to Gurnet Point, slichtly i
over three riles distant.
The NRC estimates that the speed of a l
rad:cactive plume f ror a reactor accident would be 10 miles per hour.
which would allow but 20 minutes to evacuate the area.
Durina the sumner months the prevailing winds are from the southwest making the beach area downwind of the plant for the entire season of maximum recreational use.
Photof2:
(
Is typical of the Duxbury Beach road.
As can be seen, t t road is l
cabled for its entire length to preclude access to the conservation
(
steas.
This fencine is broken in only two places alono 4 miles o' coad f or access to the beach and are are referred to lirs11y as l
crossovers.
These crossovers are in extrerely soft sa-under some i
3
conditions even four-wheel drive become stuck.
Photo 43:
one of only two crossovers in 4 miles of beach.
Photo 04:
At bottom of photo, a car can be seen exiting a crossover to the beach.
The vegetation and the dunes are protected by fencing both on the beachside and the roadside.
Cars exiting from the beach can leave only through the crossover at the bottom of the picture or through the one out of frame at the top.
Photo 45:
At this hour on a holiday weekend, 2:30pm, the parking lot would normally be full and overflow cars turned away at the far end of the 4
bridge.
The chilly day held down attendance.
Photo $6:
i The entire parking lot is normally full at this hour, capacity, 2500 cars.
When viewing these photos a factor of +1/3 to +1/2 should be added to obtain a realistic impression of the population, e
Photo 07:
It was estimated by the Gurnet/Saguish security that there were 3500 people and 400 to 500 vehicles on Saguish Beach on the af ternoon of July 3rd., 1966.
Photo it:
Durtr.g the monthly astronorically high tides, the marsh area between Gurnet Point and Saguish Beach is inundated preventing [8]
vehicular traffic across road at (A) and the back road at (C).
is the one-lane soft sand principal access to Saguish Beach.
At the best of i
times getting through [B) without meeting another vehicle coming fror l
tne otner direction is by chance.
Soneone must b a c e. up.
In an l
e ercency IB) would prove te te avery dif ficult situation indeed.
1 Feco-endation for Sacuis* Beach:
Tne roads at [A] and [C), see
- Photeli, ust be ra: sed for all-weather access.
The
!B] must be douole-tracked to make evacuation at all possible. gap at For Duxbury Beach:
An additional crossover to make a total of three.
I General recor. endation:
Due to prevailing southwest summer winds, close Pilcrir 1 Station, June 1st, to Octobet 1st, yearly.
1 Respectfully submitted,
[

ENCLOSURE 3 Suma ry Subsequent to the Comission Meeting on October 14, 1988, some local officials requested meetings with the NRC staff to review information regarding emergency plans, implementino procedures, facilities and resources. In response to these requests, the staff offered to meet and subsequently met with all seven Civil Defense Directors between October 25 and November 2,1988. Discussions were i
held in the offices of the Civil Defense Directors and included tours of the EOCs for the five towns within the 10 mile EPZ and the two reception comunities.
In two cases, selectmen were involved in the discussions (A. Thompson of Plymouth, and F. Mazzilli of Carver), and a representative of Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency was present for the majority of the meetings.
In addition, the staff toured the Duxbury, Gurnet and Saouish Beaches with Mr. Brad Martin, head of the Duxbury Department of Lands and Natural Resources.
Eight meeting summaries have been prepared and are enclosed as Attachments 1-8. The local officials present have verified the accuracy of the factual information as represented durino the discussions. Attachment No. 9 is an October 25, 1988, sumary of the Regional Administrator's telephone conversation with the MCDA Director regarding th'ese meetings and his offer to hold a technical meeting with the Connonweal th.
All of the local officials appeared to be pleased that the NRC staff was meeting with them, and all discussions were forthright and cordial.
All Civil Defense Directors tCDDs) have a complete set of the plans and implementing procedures, and they were available in the E00, but indicated that they were in varying stages of approval. Bridgewater, Kingston, Carver, Taunton and Marshfield plans and procedures have been completed and transmitted to FEMA for technical review. All C00s expressed the opinion that the state of emergency preparedness is much improved over the 1987-1985 time frame. When cuestioned if they could carry out the plans, two CDDs stated the documents were adequate and could be implerented, three C005 said they would +ry to implement the Plans but would prefer more training, and two CDDs said they couldn't answer due to the incomplete state of development and trainino. All CDDs or their assistants had reviewed the third repcrt from Secretary @arry and believed it to be complete with sore minor inaccuracies. When ouestioned about the October 14, 1988 Comission meeting and whether they were fairly represented by the Lieutenant Governor and Congressional Representatives, five CDDs had not seen the coments made, and two C00s (Plymouth and Duxbury) stated their views were fairly represented.
Each COD was asked whether there were any new items to present to the NRC.
Mr. Hadfield of Plymouth stated that the Jordan Hospital procedure is not complete for evacuation of patients, and for treatrent of injured /conteminated workers if the bespital were to be evacuated. The NRC was aware this procedure was not l
arproved at the tepartment Feed level. Mr. Hadfield considered this to be the bigcest obstacle te completion of the procedures, yet believes review and approval of all Plymouth precedures can be completed in 10-17 weeks.
l 2
In addition, four of the CDDs clarified the status of their EOCs.
In order to obtain first hand knowledce of that status the staff toured all of the E0Cs.
The E0Cs for Plymouth, Carver, and Taunton are operational. The E0C for Kingston is nearly operational with telephone call routing problems noted and being corrected; this EOC could most likely be used in an emergency with minimal difficulty.
The EOC for Duxbury is far enough along that it would also likely be used now rather than attempting to use the old EOC which is still available.
In Bridgewater the renovation to the space is nearly complete and comunications equipment is being installed. The previous E00 was another room in the same building which could be used, if necessary, by installing some telephones. At this point the new EOC is better equipped than the old one and most likely could be used successfully.
In Marshfield, the old EOC is still functional and could be used, but construction on the new EOC is considerably behind the other towns.
It should be noted that the condition of the old E00's was not identified by FEMA as being a concern, and the new EOC's appear to be state-of-the-art.
Significant improvements have been made in the ability of Boston Edison to notify the local towns of an event. The previous system relied on notification from Boston Edison to the state police dispatcher in Middleboro, MA. The state was then responsible for relayinc information to the towns.
In order to improve the timeliness of notification a new Digital Notification Network (DNN) has been installed and is operational. This system automatically rings down to the local.54 hour6.25e-4 days <br />0.015 hours <br />8.928571e-5 weeks <br />2.0547e-5 months <br /> warning points - the 7 town police departments, the EOCs, as well as the State police and Passachusetts Civil Defense Agency when the phone is picked up in the control room.
Other concerns raised by the CDDs included the status of plans and procedures, and availabilities o' personnel. With respect to the status of plans and procedures, draf t plans fer all seven committees have been forwarded to the Commonweelth and subsecuently to FEMA for technical review. Oraft procedures have been developed for all areas. Many of the procedures have been forwarded to FEMA for technical review, but in sole cases this was done with ovestions still unresolveo. The philosophy on how and when school children would be evacuated is a concern in most of the towns.
Some school administrations would like to see the children sent home at the ALERT rather than take the responsibility for evacuation. This is in conflict with the Comeonwealth and CDDs position as well as the police desire to prevent traffic frcm re-entering the towns once an evacuation is ordered (parents would not be able to get home to pick up the children).
The Emergency Plans for the five risk towns within the 10 mile EP2, state that transportation is staged at the ALERT, and evacuation occurs at the SITE ADEA EMERGENCY.
With. respect to personnel, most CDDs indicated they would have the majority of people necessary to implement the plans, but several of the towns are short of volunteers to complete their staffing plans primarily in second shift and non-technical resources.
In particular Bridgewater, a reception center cc.munity, indicates that they have recruited 50 out o' about 300. Training is also a significant concern in most of the towr:s. Post indicated that it was just gettino started.
l 3
The status of on-site and off-site energency prer,sredness as stated by the staff at the October 14, 1988 Commission Meeting is t5at significant improvements have been made since the FEMA self-initiated-review, including improvements in areas which ware not identified es being deficient.
It is clear that the towns and the Commonwealth have several procedural questions to resolve, however, the present versica of the plans and implementing procedures (with the exception of 5 implementing procedures) have been reviewed by knowledgeable officials responsible for implementing the plans (e.g., Civil Defense Directors and department heads).
In fact, some of the changes being considered such as early dismissal of school children may be less desirable than the evacuation from the schools at SITE AREA EMERGENCY, All the town officials would be more comfortable with every procedura approved and tested.
Based on pro,iected schedules from civil defense personnel in the five EPZ towns the remaining incomplete areas can be complete in two or three months.
The staff's conclusion, as stated at the October 14, 1988 Commission Meeting, that the ex' sting facilities and equipment could be used to adequately protect the health and safety of the public during the centrolled and phased startup period, is unchanged.

DISCUSSION 1
During the meeting on November 2, 1988, Mr. Maher presented the following status i
summaries and concerns regarding the state of emergency preparedness in the Town of Bridgewater, which is a host comunity for the Pilgrim EPZ.
L Implementing Procedures (IPs) l The town Plan and IPs, as well as the state college procedure were forwarded to MCOA (and substouently to FEMA Region 1) for informal technical review. The procedur(s received only a cursory review before forwarding because it was felt important to get the feedback from the i
technical experts.
The state college does not come under the authority of the town, but is a separate entity directly under the authority of the state, therfore the town is not directly involved in the review of the college procedure.
There are some concerns that the evacuation traffic into town or Poute 104 i
nay be a biocer problem than is reflected in the planning process. Traffic within torn is still 6 concern, c
Availability of Documents Copies of the Plan, IPs, and Evacuation Time Estimate are available.
i Facilities and Ecuipment The EOC is located in the basement of an old school building owned by the town and near the Town Hall. The renovation of the space is nearly complete, however the equipment is not yet installed. Telephones are almost complete and a few of the radios have been installed. The space i
still has not been turned over to the town from Boston Edison.
Approximately 30 to 500 of the equipment necessary to implement the plan has been received.
It is estimated that all of the eoutpment should be received by mid-January to early February, 1989.
Some work is necessary at the state college which will require state approval before Boston Edison can start the work.
Personnel Resources / Training The town is still trying to locate volunteers to accept positions to L
implenent the plan.
So far only 50 out of 300 have been identified.
Training is just getting started. The quality of training being received t
is excellent. Most aroups have only received one or two of the modules.
The fire department has received 8 modules.
Rarry peport The Farry report contained some inaccuracies and inconsistencies. The location of the Bridgewater E00 was not correct and the demographic figures cited were wrong.
Comission Briefing Mr. Maher had not read the transcript of the remarks presented by Senator Kennedy, Reoresentative Studds, or t.t Governor Murphy at the October 14, 1980 Commission briefing and could not coment on whether they represented i
)i the views of the town o' Aridgewater.
i
SUMMARY
j Mr. Maher did not believe that the Brideewater plan and procedures could be implemented at thir time because of the' lack of a sufficient number of trained people to 'ill the positions needed. The town would. v course, respond to ar.
l emergency and do the best they ceuld. The town bLs had an excellent relationship i
with Boston Edison, however, at the presec.t p;ce of activity by Poston Edison, the town wont he ready for a full scale exercise until next June or July. Mr.
Maha.r indicated that he believed the plant should be allowed to restart when all the safeoverts are in place. Mr. Meher was not directly involved with energency preparednest durino the 1982 19EE tire frare, but based on his discussions with those whn were he relieves that significant progress has been rmdr.
Mr. Meher was provided a draft copy of this memorandum, and his comments have been incorporated into this final copy. He indicated that it accurately reflects the information provided by him.

SUBJECT:
TOUR OF THE DUXPURY, GUPNET AND SAQUISH BEACHES BACKGROUND Followino the mecting with Mr. Carl O'Neill to discuss the status of emereeney preparedness in the town of Duxbury, Mr. O'Neill arranged for us to visit the Duxbury, Gurnet, and Sacuish beach areas which have been frecuently identified as a ma,ior evacuatien concer). Mr. Brad Martin, the head of the Duxbury i.)Dartment of Lands and Natural Resources, agreed to. drive us out to Saquish.
Responribilities of Mr. Martin's department include cuntrolling access and patrolling the Duxbury beach to assure that people do not enter the restricted areas such as bird nesting locations. As a result of his duties he is quite familier with tha area and its problems. Mr. Martin previded the following observations during the trip.
The total number o' rour wheel drive vehicles allowed access to the Duxbury beach is limited to 500 (by pemit). These vehicles have been seer to evacuate the beach ir about a half-hour due to a thunderstorm.
Rased on the numbers of 4 wheel drive vehicles allowed (500) plus parking cacacity for about 400 cars at the entrance to Duxbury Peach, the typical number of persens at the beach would number about 3,000.
I In addition to the check for a beach pemit at the Duxbury beach, persons who wish to enter the Gurnet-Saquish area (during sumer montrs) must also pass through a security point, further limiting access to that area.
lhe area of the road between Gurnet and Saquish which has been identified as irrassable due to periodic t.igh tides is under water 'or perhaps two hours during consecutive high tides for tvo days each month (during the full moon). Durine these high tides the road floods to a depth of 1 to ? feet and covers about 100 yards of the road, in Mr.
Hertin's opinion, this sheuld not present a serious impediment to most four wheel drive vehicles.
In any event it would be passable on foot and people could be picked up by vehicles on the Gurnet Point side.
l There are about ?SO cottages bevend the section of the read that is sub.iert te pe*iodir floodino. The area is onl, opn to preterty owners and their guests, limiting the number c3 pecole who could be in that arca to 400 to 500 The Gurret-Saquish area is very lightly inhabited in the off-season vorths.

The crocedural concern which remains to be resolvec is one involving the Carver Reoional High School. A joint comittee is atter.pting te resolve dif ferences between Carver and Plyreu'h in this precedure.
(h O AtY
Police: The police have a concern regarding the ETE/ Traffic Management Plan allowing people to re-enter the town while an evacuation is in progress. They believe that traffic flow should only be permitted out of town.
Equipment and Facilities Mr. Mazzilli indicated that they have pretty much everything they need.
Some things are still on order, but everything is falling into place.
Decontamination Facility:
The biggest problem is the lack of a decontamination facility for emergency workers.
EOC: The EOC is complete although radios are still being hooked up.
Everything should be complete in about 2 weeks.
Personnel Resources The lack of personnel to carry out the decontamination procedure is the biggest probler.
There may be other departmental weaknesses of which they are not aware.
Special Needs Pcpulation The town has a list with about 105 names. All the persons on this list were recently resurveyed to update the list. There may be others who have not been identified, but they feel pretty satisfied with the list.
Schedule The procedures, facilities, and training should be far enough along for a test about the first of the year. The schedule for completion o' the decontamination facility is the biggest unknown.
1 Barry Report j
The third Barry Peport contained a reasonable presentation of the status l
fer the town of Carver, however it was lacking in some specifics regarding equipment.
Coccission Briefing Neither Mr. Marrilli or Ms. Copello had reviewed the transcript of the October 14, 1968 Commission briefing and could not coment on the f

the plan and procedures, they indicated that they would try to implement it but would not be comfortable because it had not been tested.
SUMMARY
Thinas are going along smoothly. They still need to get the decontamination facility completed, complete the training, and test the plans and procedures.
They have come a long way in the last two to three years. The citizens of the town now know what to expect.
Relations with both MCDA Area !! and Boston Edison are very good.
Mr. Mazzilli and Ms. Copello reviewed this memorandum and indicated that they were satisfied that it accurately reflected the status provided during our discussions.

1988 BACKGROUND A meeting was held in the Duxbury Fire Station on October 26, 1988. The purpose of this meetine was to obtain the latest factual infomation regarding the status of emergency plans, implementing procedures, and facilities, directly from the Director of Civil Defense for the town of Duxbury.

William J. Lazarus, Chief. Emergency Preparedness Stetton, NDC Region 1 Resemary T. Hogan. Emergency Preparedness Specialist Office of NPR DISCL'SSION Mr. O'heill presented the following status sumaries and conceres regarding the state of emergency preparedness in the Town of Duxbury.
Irplementing Procedures There are approximt.tely 38 implementing procedures (IPs), none of which have been sent to FEMA for review. All of the IPs, except three, have been reviewed by cognirant Department Heads.
The three IPs which are still under develepr..ent are: Selectren; Town Manager; and Public Information Officer. The REPr has reviewed the Fire and Civil Defense IPs and are reviewing the School IP. All IPs will be sent in segments to the Board nf Selectren for their review.
Copies of the Plan, IPs, Shelter Irplementation Plan and Evacuation Time Estimate are available in the EOC.
The fellowinc are specific concerns which remain to be resolvec.
Screols:
The scheel ccrittee does not agree with the school

procedure as drafted, but is considering early dismissal of school children at the ALERT, rather than have the buses in standby and evacuate the children at a SITE AREA EMERGENCY. There is no sound technical basis for the position and in some cases would require three round trips of the school buses. This is contrary to the recomendation of the Civil Defense Director and MCOA who would like to see the procedure remain as it is. There are a few'other minor concerns involving role conflict of teachers and the guarantee of sufficient buses which remain to be resolved.
Personnel Resources There are a few personnel shortages which need to be fillM. The EOC staff does not have a complete secord shift complement ano the police department needs two additional staff for Gurnet-Saquish route alerting if necessary. All other departments appear to have sufficient staff.
Evacuation Time Estimate The new ETE has been received, but it has not been thorouchly reviewed.
Equipment and Facilities The E00 is nearing completion. The facility is expected to be complete in four weeks when the comunication equipment is installed.
Some portable radios, a repeater and a LORAN navigation radio should be delivered within a few weeks.
The Board of Selectmen has not approved a reception center community.
Althouah the current plan provides for evacuation to Bridgewater or Wellesley, the Selectren are opposed te Wellesley. There are reservations on the use o' Rridgewater, as well, because the evacuation routes to that comunity would be blocked delaying evacuation.
The police need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to be used for route alerting of the Gurnet-Saouich Beach area.
Trainine Training has just begun, but is progressing very smoothly.
Barry Repert Mr. O'Neill thouaht the Barry report accurately reflected the concerns and the status of erergency preparedness in Duxbury.
Corri sten Briefin:
t Mr. O'Nedi' indicated that the statements made by Senater rennedy, Etpresenta+he Studds, and Lt. Governor Murphy reflected tFe status of
emergency preparedness for the town of Duxbury.
Ability to implement The Civil Defense Director does not believe the plan could be implemented at this time because so little training has been completed.
No portions of the plan have been tested. The Civil Defense Director has notified the Selectmen that he believes that training, equipment installation, plan and IP development, mini-drills and a town drill could be cortplete by the middle of February, 1989.
Special Needs Population identification of the special needs population is slow due to the reluctance of that cepulation to highlight their handicaps. Repeated advertisements in the local papers reouesting self-identification is continuing. TOOs are available to be delivered to deaf people who request them.
Special needs population evacuation was not identified as a major concern provided resources arranged by the state are actually available.
Beaches The Gurnet-Saquish procedure h still under review by the Gurnet-Saouish Association. Cencerns are that siren coverage may be inadequate. There is no feedback methoo to deternine if the sirens have actuated and Ouxbury police do not have sufficient resources to run route alerting as a back-up for siren failure. Route alerting wculd take at least 45 minutes to comolete.
Chief O Teill indicated that some cf the estirates regaroing the Gurnet-Saguish beach area he has seen have been inflated.
He estimated the number for the Saquish Beach at about 4,000 maximum (2,000 typical) on peak days. The road to this beach is under water from high tides for a part of 2 days per month (2 to 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />). Tbc water may be waist high in that section.
There are 4,000 to 5,000 people on the Duxbury Beach during the peak part of the season. The Powder Point Bridge has been re-opened and provides a second evacuation route for those evacuating the Duxbury.
Gurnet-Saouish beach area. This greatly improves the situation.
Peorie are reovested to evacuate at the ALERT and the beach is closed.
SUWARY The majer concerns are getting eouipment in place and working, completing the training and crt11s, and resolving the school evacuation issue, and finsi approval of procedures and plar.s.
Mr. O'heill was previoeo an ocportunity to review this memorandur and his co rents for clarifict. tion have btcen incorporated.

3 Dosemary T. hogan, Emergency Preparedness Specialist. Office of NDP DISCUSSION Pssrs. Tavares and Woodworth presented the following status sumaries and concerns recarding the state of emercency preparedness in the Town of Kingster.
Implementing Procedures (IP)
The town plan and all IPs have been through the local review process and have been forwarded through MCDA to FEMA for technical review. This does not mean that all local concerns regarding the procedures have been resolved. Copies of the Plan,IPs, Shelter Implementation Plan, and Evacuation Time Estimate are available in the EOC.
1 The following are specific concerns which rema.n to be resolved.
Ohcols:
The school Comittee wants to changt the school proctrure (for the elementary school) to have an early release of the school childrce at the ALERT declaration, rather than having the tuses brourtt in at the ALERT and then evacuating them at SITE j
W
[
Attachrent 4 APEA EMERGENCY. No technical justification has been presented for this position, which is opposed by both the CD Director and the state. The procedure for Silver Lake Regional High School is still under review by the school comittee. The school comittee for the high school includes representatives from three non-EPZ towns as well as Kingston.
Police: The police chief wants to change the traffic management procedure to prevent anyone from entering the town after an evacuation is ordered. The present ETE reflects the fact that parents are pennitted to re-enter to get children at home.
Personnel Pesources The town is presently short six people to staff the positions in the EOC for 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> coverage. The police have indicated that they can't cover all traffic management and access control points without outside assistance.
They will have to coordinate with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department.
Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE)
The new ETE has been received but it has not been thoroughly reviewed.
There is a concern regarding chances to the bus routes for transportation dependent personnei.
Equipment and Facilities The EOC was recently completed, however the telephone system is not yet fully operable (calls can't be transferred or routed properly). All the radios are installed and operating. The police department has received half of the portable radios they would need. There is a reliability problem with the police radio repeater shared by Kingston, Duxbury, and Plympton, which Boston Edison has agreed to correct.
There are nn problems with equipment or facilities in other departments that have been brought to the attention of the Civil Defense Director.
There presently is no reliable system (pager) to notify the Civil Defense Directnr of an emergency.
Trainir.g Little training has been done yet. Training of the EOC staff is just starting; The highway, police, and fire departments have had one module of the training. The teachers at the elementary school have had one mocule but there was very light turnout.
Reports from people wbn have receivet the training are very r.ositive.
There is no estimate when the traininn will be complete; the schedule is still under development.
Barry Report Mr. Tavares thought that the Barry Report reasonably presented the status for the town of Kingstont there were only minor discrepancies.
Comission Briefing Mr. Tavares had not reviewed the transcript of the October 14, 1988 Comission briefing and was not able to coment on the presentations made by Senator Kennedy, Representative Studds, or Lt. Governor Murphy.
Ab.11ty to implement Mr. Tavares indicated that he was skeptical cf the ability to implement the Plan and procedures.
He believes that the plans are gned, and a lot of improvem nts have been made, but training is still needed. He would attempe.o follow the procedures rather than rely on guess-work.
Special heeds Population Approximately 120 people have been placed on the special needs list for the town. They are still working to get people identified.
SUMMARY
The ma,ior concerns are getting ecuipment in place and working, completing the training, ano resolving the issue of how the school children will be protected.
Mr. Tavares and Mr. Woccworth were provided with a draft copy of this document and indicated that it accurately reflects our discussions.
