Dear Mr. Ely:
PEMA has conpleted a review of your draft county radiological emergency resoonse plan for the Limerick Generating Station. Basically, it is a good beginning, but the plan lacks many of the details required to make it useful. bbst of the details required are marked, 'To Be developed." I understand that ECI, the consultant firm, is working on these details at the present time.
Attached are the comments resulting from our review. A major defect in the plan is Annex N, School Services.
It is not irr consonance
(,
with guidance contained in the state plan conceming non-profit private N
schools, which includes parochial schools. This criticism was explained in our comments concerning the school district plans.
Additionally, Annex N is written in a lengthy, confusing manner.
It needs to be simplified, made more concise and simply make county policies clear rather than attempting to duplicate what should be contained in the school district plans. A copy of Annex N from the Lu::crne County plan is enclosed for your information and comparison. You will note that the school district superintendencs are responsibic for public and
~
private schools within their territory, and they have a. great deal of leeway in making decisions about when to close schools based upon the circumstances that pertain during an incident. They are also responsibic for direct contact with host school districts to make the' necessary arrange-ments for host schools before and during an incident.
Other significant areas of concern are Annex D, Appendix 3; Annex J, Appendix 1; and, the Concept of Operations in Annex C.
See attached comments.
The remaining comments in the attached enclosure are not as significant as those mentioned above, but collectively I believe they are important and worthy of your consigrgtgg;cy c;,3:;c3 t

M Section' C:mm nta III.
The Tellabs (294) co=munity alerting system may not be
( * -I adequate to alert all areas or facilities within the EPZ.
Consideration should be given to a supplemental system other than route alerting.
For example, how will people within shopping malls be notified as well as those with-out telephones? In this regard, the fourth paragraph under III. on page C-2 is unacceptable because it places the entire problem on the municipality to accomplish this task by means of route alerting.
C-2 IV.
This concept of operations is mos'tly a repeat of what has already been written on pages 32-44 of the plan. The only thing that needs to be shown in the concept of operations of this annex is what is pertinent to Alert /
Notification. A sample concept of operations from the Luzerne County plan is provided for your information.
. It is recom= ended that the entire section IV should be rewritten.
C-2-1 Should be expanded to include a telephonic cascade notification system.
C-3-1
- We question why it is necessary for the incident notifica-tion form to appear both in Annex B and Annex C.,
The first paragraph is too general in its reference to C'-6-1 responsibilities of route' alerting. It implies that route alerting will be a substitute for Tellabs 294 where the latter is not adequate.
There must be some type of a mechanical system developed to supplement the Tellabs system where necessary..
D-1 I.
The purpose of public.information is not to notify persons, but' rather to inform them. The first sentence should thus read, "To establish policies and procedures for informin'g' persons..."
D-1 II.D.
It was our understanding that PECO would prepare and distribute a brochure for the general public.
How did this responsibility get shifted to the county?
D-2 III.B.
This paragraph conflicts with II.D. which states that the county is responsible for printing and distribution of the brochure.
PECO is responsible and paragraphs A, B and D should be written to show it.
