Dear Mr.Volpe,
\\
I would like to es11 the Board's attention to ruclesr RegulatoryTorm-ission hearings in Philadelphia which stsrt on 11/19 These hearings are on the subject of emergency planstfor evacuation in case of a nuclear accident at PHila. Electric's Li=erick plant.
We have subpoened Mr.J. Waters to testify as U.K. Emergency Msnege ent Coordinstor.
We hope that the Supervisors may be available to testify also and we ask that they further authorize Mr.Jagen= ann to testify on all of the matters which esy concern the township, including evacustion planning and the safety of public necessi-ties such as water and food supplies.
Ve realize that the Supervisors have the responsibility for the safety of the township's residents and for all who work,end shop and visit or pass is about 27,000.
through. We are told that the township'scurrent population in King of Prussia number about 49,000 and at peak ti=es the total Workers parking spaces, 226,000,are filled.
This would bring the co:bined workers, to over 300,000,plus township fq:pers and trsnsients in E.of P. at peak timesto be evacuated in a nuclear e=er;eacy would residents. The total vehicles There are these at peak times ( K.of P. and residents.).

principle-exit routes:
Expressway,and Henderson and So.';ulph Rds.
The congestion at the township's intersections are shown on the accompanying exhibit from the current cain Siepson and Curtin U.M. traffic study.
We ask that the Supervisors author-ize these consultan ts to, testify as to the possibility of forming a work-able evacuation plan for U.M. in conjunction with the Count
's and State's e:ergency evacuation pinns for the Limerick plume zone (EFZ The State and County have laid out evacuation plans for the popula-tion within 10 miles of Licerick. This 10 mile circle includer 185,220 residents snd 16,633 workers. This is.obviously a iesser number than tre totals in E.of P. alone.
In addition Valley Forge National Tark in the tcwesHp has visitor peaks in the thousands.
The Park extends into the 10 mile EPZ but is not included in emergency plans.
Upper Merion lies 12 to 15 miles from the plant.
The 10 mile rsdius is an arbitrsry NRC licit. A radioactive cloud blowing in the U.M.
direction would not stop at the 10 =ile circle.
EFZ evacuation also provides for townships with 21,279 population in the 10-11 ring and 10,349 in the 11-12 mile ring.
in the Limerick NRC licensing process we tsve made As interrenors a study of the Limerick evecuation plans and the way in which they would ef fect U.M. end the i= plica tiods for the residente and workers in the
+ownship.
We are convinced that there is the potential for a dangerous panic in K.of P. and Valley forge Tsrk unicss careful plarning is carried cut and an eyecuation plan set up by the Counties and State.
Te urge the Supervisors to testify to the riske for U.Y. which have not been confronted.
The city of Philadelphia will testify as to the contamination of the Schuyl-kill in case of a Limerick accident.
The U.M. water supply is con <. der-ably more vninerable since the Green Lane reservoir itself is within the EPZ.
