TOWN OF HAMPTON AND NEW ENGLAND COALITION ON NUCLEAR POLLUTION t REPLY TO THE RESPONSES OF THE STAFF AND APPLICANTS TO INTERVENORS CONTENTIONS ON GRADED EXERCISE NOW COME the Town of Hampton (hereinafter "TOH") and New England i

Coalition on Nuclear Pollution (hereinafter "NECNP") and hereby reply to the responses of the Staff and Applicants to certain contentions f submitted by TOH/NECNP on the graded exercise conducted on June 28 and ,

29, 1988, as follows:

r T.Q11/,lifCNP EX 1 The scope of the June 28-09, if88 Exercise of the New Hampshire l Radiological Emergency !<esponsa Plan (NHRERP) , was so limited that it

• cou)d not and did not yield valid or meaningful results regarding the '

capability to implement that plan, as required by 10 C.F.R. '

150.47(a)(1) and (a) (2) , in that it did not hiclu(:e demonstrations or evaluations of emergency response caphbilities of nany persons and entities relied upon to 1:nplcnent th NHRERP. In addition, the i exclusion of these eatities from the Exercise precludes a finding that i the Exercise evaluated major portions of' emergency response  ;

capabilities, as required by 10 C.F.R. 5 50. 47 (b) (14 ) and 10 C.F.R. l Part 50, Appendix E(F) (1) . Other than limited participation by Stato i j

of New Hampshire personnel, the najority of the organizations, entities, and individuals relied upon in the NHRERP for implementation of that plan did not participate in the Exercise. Thus, the Exercise did not address the willingness, availability, training, equipment, capability, or adequacy of performance of the entities and individuals identified in Bases a to g below, each of which is necessary to implement the portions of the NHRERP referenced therein. Accordingly, the NHRERP is fundamentally flawed.

BASES:

(a) None of the teachers relied upon under the NHRERP to implement protective actions for school children, S1q, e.g., NilRERP Vol. 18A, Appendix F, participated in the Exercise. Necessarily, the Exercise failed to meet a primary objective to demonstrate the ability and resources necessary to adequately protect students ir an emergency. Exercise Report, p. 172. Since hundreds of teachers through their representatives, and by petition, have already provided evidence in this proceeding of their intent npl to implement the NHRERP, failure to test for the availability and participation of New Hampshire teachers represents a fundamental flaw in the NHRERP.

(b) Gince none of the New Hampshire teachers participated in the Exercise, FEMA could not observe any adequate demonstration of the organizational ability or resources necessary to offect an early dismissal, sheltering, or evacuation, of the school children, even though this demonstration was one of the Exercise objectives.

Exercise Report, p. 172. Under the NHRERP, early dismissal, sheltering and evacuation are the only, protective actions for school children. ERA (e.g.) NHRERP Vol. 18A, App. F. 1-3, F. 1-4. All of these protective actions assume, and rely upon, teachers for impler.entation. Id. Failure to observe or test necessary personnel or procedures to protect students represents a fundamental flaw in the NHRER?,

(c) During the summer months, Hampton Beach is the mont highly and donsely poy.0.ated area in the Seabrook EPZ, and poses unique and extrene obstacles to emergency planning. Under the hHRERP, State

[ Police are required to provide all 17 traffic guides to utaff every i' t r a f f i c centrol post lecated within Hampton Beach, and to ansumo a

responsibility for regulating the bumper to bumper traffic out cf the Beach area. Eqn NHRERP, Vol. 6, App. 1: Exhibit 1 to Applicants' kl DirectTestimony No. 3 (Personnel Rasources), Tablo 3.1-2. The I

Exercise did not ;;rovid? for, test or require even a single State l Police officer to staff any of the five traffic control posts located j

in Hampton Beach, and the Beach, as an area for exercising the Plan, was essentially ignored. Failure to adequately demonstrate the ability and resources deemed necessary under the NHRERP to evacuate the EPZ's most populated beach area represents a fundamental flaw in the NHRERP.

(d) Although at least 45 traffic control guides are to be provided by the New Hampshire State Police to all Towns under the ,

NHRERP, Id. at Tables 3.1-2, 3.1-3, only two troopers actually assumed that function during the Exercise. Sag, Exhibit 1, attached. '

Accordingly, there is no factual basis to support TEMA's finding that 1

State Police could or did properly "handle beach closing," and the l time frames for staffing of traffic control points relied on by FEMA '

are wholly rpeculative. Sea, Exercise Report, p. 182. In addition, i the NHRERP requires State Police to provide 28 traffic guides to staff Volume 6, pp. 9-access control posts within the New Hampshire EPZ. j

12. Only two troopers were actually deployed to staff ACPs during the t Exercise. Exhibit 1. FEMA's conclusion that, by 1530 hours0.0177 days <br />0.425 hours <br />0.00253 weeks <br />5.82165e-4 months <br />, State l Police had adequately shown the capability to deploy all 89 troopers  !

for ACP/TCPs is without foundation. Exercise Report, p. 182. Failure  !

to adequately demonstrate the ability and resources necessary to  !

regulate evacuation traffic and EPZ access represents a fundamental i flaw in the NHRERP. Exercise Report, p. 182.  ;

I (e) The Exercise did not provide for, test, or require simulation, of even a single accident or other traffic impediment in  ;

the Hampton Beach area. Even under non-omergency conditions, traffic  ;

accidents and tie-ups, with associated traffic congestion, are routine -

at Hampton Beach. The Exercise unreasonably assumed, however, that f traffic flow remained smooth throughout the beach during the entire evacuation. Failure to adequately demonstrate road clearance (

e capabilities and traffic management, under anticipated conditions, in l the critical pathway along the beach represents a fundamental flaw in j the NHRERP.  !

I (f) 15 or 18 (83%) of the bus companies relied upon under the NHRERP for emergency and special needs transportation did not provide  ;

any drivers or buses for the Exercise. Even the three companies who l did provide resources deployed only 18 regular buses (4%) of the 453 i required for implementation of the NHRERP. M3, Exhibit 2 Attached; 3 I

Applicants' Direct Testimony No. 2 p. 13, October 21, 1987. Ihe (

Exorcise also utilized only of 48 ambulances (2%), and two of 71 i special needs buses ( 3 8t ) , deemed necessary for irplementation of the  !

Plan. Sat, Applicants' Direct Testimony No. 2, pp. 13-15, Cetober 21, 1987; Exhibit 2. The adequacy of transportation recources, particularly bus drivers, has been seriously disputed in these proceedings. The failure to demonstrate the availability of any meaningful number of those resources represente a fundenental flaw in the NHRERP.

(g) There is no basis for FEMA's assertion that the State, during the Exercise, adequately demonstrated or "identified", '

sufficient manned vehicles to evacuate the entire EPZ. See Exercise Report, p. 165. That identification process apparently consisted only of phone calls to bus companies to restate the number of drivers 3

specified in each company's letter of agreement. Apparently, no determination of the number of drivers actually available to drive, was provided by the companica or required by the Exercise. The failure to demonstrate the actual availability of necessary transportation resources, including at least 96% (435 of 453) of the drivers required to implement the NHRERP, represents a fundamenual flaw in the NHRERP. Exhibit 2.

R_EPLY TO RESPONSES RE: BASES A AND B:

Reolv to Aonlicants' Posit h Applicants offer no specific objection to Bases A and B beyond  ;

the vague claim that the contention is objectionable "on the ground that it is baseless in its generality" and that certain points raised by TOH/NECNP were covered by contentions filed by another Intervenor in this proceeding.

Applicants' claim of undue "generality" in the contention is plainly inaccurate, given the specific deficiencies outlined in each of the proffered bases. With renpect to Bases A and B, it is hardly a "generality" to identify that none of the New Hampshire teachers 1

l participated in the exercise or that without these teachers, none of ,

't the rrotective action procedures for school children were reviewed or tnsted. Applicants claie unat the TOH/NECHP contention is I

i Citing two cases,1 the Staff opposes admission of Bases A and B f on grounds that "scho>l personnel are considered to be members of the f f public as opposed to emergency workers and . . their participation in f

the exercise is not mandatory." Staff Response, p.87. The Staff's l l

l position, however, represents a misreading of the two cases and [

j contravenes the Commission's requirement for a "full participation" i 4

l exercise. 10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix E, IV.F.1 and !!.4. f l

In Shoreham, the first case relied upon by the Staff, the Appeal i

i Board was concerned with the potential for role conflict causing job t abandonment among individuals, including teachers. 23 fiRC at p. 150.

f The opinion is silent on the extent to which teachers must be involved f i

in a graded exercise to satisfy the commission's mandate "for full l t

participation." The Appeal Board expressly recognizes, however, that i where emergency plans rely upon teachers "for assistance in i

supervising and coordinating" protective actions, Isl. at p. 150, lack f of adequate teacher participation in carrying out an emergency plan I i

The Shoreham decision therefore expressly acknowledges the critical role that teachers play in an emergency response, where, as in the NHRERP, teachers are relied upon as the first and primary personnel to protect students. Accordingly, assuming the NHRERP ,

exercise failed to include even i t e a cb.gI, nucessarily the exercise was fatally flawed since it failed to satisfy the mandate for "full  !

must participato, and be tested, in an emergency exercise to reasonably assure an adequate response.5/6 only a month ago, the Appeal Board determined that an exercise must include participation by school personnel, and provided further guidance as to the proper scope of a "full participation" exercise:

The regulation involved here,Section IV.4.1 of 10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix E, states that ' full participation' is required for the initial emergency exercise to be conducted during the two year period preceding license issuance. The regulation immediately calls attention to the definition of full participation found in Footnote 4 - which is as much a part of the regulation entitled to equal legal effect as if it were in the text. (Footnote omitted.) Among 5

For this reason, the Staff's reliance upon Pniladelchia Electric gm. is equally flawed. The Board's opinion cited by the Staff provides utterly no guidance over the proper scope or definition of a -

l "full participation" exercise. Philadelphia Electric Cox (Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2), LBP-85-14, 21 NRC 1219, 1308-1309 l (1985). In the cited opinion, the Board was focusing solely on  !

whether teachers would be deemed "emergency workers" for purposea of l whether they should be issued KI and dosimetry. Id. at 1309. The

• scope of a "full participation" exercise is never discussed, I

addressed, or defined.

i 6 l The Staff has also misinterpreted the cited regulation, which i provides that an exercise may be conducted "without mandatory public l participation." 10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix E, Part IV.F.1. As I interpreted by the Appeal Board, "all At ('without mandatory public  !

participation') means is that emergency exercises should not involve

actual participation by the ceneral nublic, or so-called ' live tests and drills'." ALAB-900, p.31. (Emphasis supplied.) As alleged in l Bases A and B, the NHRERP assumes, and rolles upon, teacher participation and assistance to students to implement protective actions. Unlike members of the general public, therefore, and as recognized by the Appeal Board, teachers represent a critical component of the planned emergency response for students. Failure to i

include even a single teacner in the exercise is a blatant and fundamental flaw in the NHRERP. l 7

(

a other things, a full participation exercise must test 'the major observable portions' of the on-site and off-site emergency plans and mobilize

' sufficient numbers' of state, local and licensee / applicant personnel and other resources so as to permit verification of their ' integrated capability' to respond to the particular accident scenario being tested. (Footnote omitted.) A further gloss on the meaning of full participation is added in the text: Such an exerciso should test 'as much of the licensee (applicant), state and local emergency plans as is reasonably achievable without mandatory poblic participation.'

In summary, the adequacy of the scope of a pro-license emergency exercise must. be judged against the NRC's regulatory requirements, not the customary practice of FEMA in designing and conducting such exercises. The general focus of the NRC's emergency planning requirements is on whether there is reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of an emergency, i.e., whether there is an absence of any fundamental flaws in the emergency plans. Particularly pertinent among those requirements insofar as emergency exe:cises are concerned is 10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix E, Section 4.F.1, the entirety of which (including footnote 4) must be given effect.

That provision requires a pre-license exercise to be ' full participation.' This means that all

'the major observable portions of the on-site and off-site emergency plans' must be tested in that pre-license exercise; the FEMA objectives can serve as guidance in determining what the major observable elements are. In addition, a pre-license uxercise includes the mobilization of state, local and licensee pornonnel 'in sufficient numbers' to verify their ' integrated capability' to assess and to respond to the particular accident scenario being tested . .

There is no discute that the notential evacuation of schools within the emercency olannina zone (EPZ)_is a maior element of off-rite emercency planninc. See FEMA Objectives, No. 19. See also, 10 C.F.R. 550.47(b)(10). A sufficient number of school and related personnel musl therefore carticipate in a full carti.gination 8

exercise so as to nornit verification of their intearated caDability to resDond to the accident 3rdttja rio. In the Matter of Lona Island Lichtino h (Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1),

ALAB-900 (9/20/88) pp. 17, 25-26, 34-35.

(Emphasis Supplied.)y The Appeal Board, therefore, expressly rejected the position proffered by the staff that "school personnel need not be involved in an emergency exercise." S_%2, Staff Response, p. 71. This Board should similarly reject the Staff's view, and admit Bases A and B for litigation.

REPLY TO RESPONSES RE: BASES C AND E:

Ren1v to Annlicants' Position Applicants offer no specific objection to Basis C beyond a vague claim of "generalityd and as "repetitive" of contentions proffered by another Intervenor. As stated, such objections provide no legal support for exclusion of the basis. The only additional objection proffered by Applicants on Basis E is a bald claim that the failure to test road clearance capabilities and traffic management under anticipated conditions, in the Hampton Beach area, does not amount "to

~

7 The Appeal Board decision primarily focused upon the lack of participation of most Shoreham EPZ achools, as distinct from identifying which "school and related personnel" must participate in an exercise to meet the regulatory standard. In view of the Appeal Board's recognition of the important role played by teachers in an effective emergency response, however, end the plain meaning of the mandate for "full participation" to test the "major observable portions" of an emergency plan, the NHRERP simply cannot be meaningfully tested unless there is a minimum of teacher participation

, in the exercise.

an allegation of fundamental flaw." This assertion adds nothing of legal content to the Applicants' position, and, as stated in reply to the Staff, is erroneous.

Roolv to Staff's Position In opposition to Bases C and E, the Staff asserts there is "no regulatory basis for requiring that all traf fic control posts be staffed in an exercise." (Emphasis supplied.) Even conceding this point, the Staff's assertion is irrelevant to, and represents a misreading of, Bases C and E. Barcs C and E rather are premised upon the Commission's mandate that an exercise test "the naior observable portions" of the emergency plan. 10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix E, IV.F.1.

Accordingly, although not AU traffic control posts need be tested in an exercise, the management and staffing of the "major," or most significant, traffic control plans, posts, and personnel with potentially the greatest impact on a prompt and safe evacuation, must be exercised to satisfy Commission regulations. This the exerciso utterly failed to do.

Even Applicants concede that traffic control posts vary in importance and that "the most important TCPs are considered to be those which have the most potential for expediting the movement of traffic . . (and this) first function, enhancing roadway capacity, can have a pronounced influence on ETE." Applicants' Direct Testimony No. 7 (Evacuation Time Estimate and Human Behavior in Emergencies),

November 5, 1987, pp. 67-68. While therefore recognizing that appropriate and timely staffing of "the most important" or top 10 wuts ucit-ow . e t m at .u

• w

. e s r. A - < w's .c4- +4- ** * . wu

priority TCPs can significantly influence overall evacuation times, the exercise completely failed to test ADY of the three TCPs that Applicants deem most critical in the entire New Hampshire EPZ.

To understand the rationale underlying the sensitivity runs relating to ETE to the manning of TCPs, however, it is necessary to delineate the various functions of traffic control. These functions, in decreasing importance, include:

- Enhance roadway capacityt

- Guide evacuees along recommended routest

- Expedite traffic movement;

- Provide assurance to the public;

- Surveillance In general, a TCP performs more than one of these functions. Some TCPs, however, are designed primarily to perform one of the two most important functions. The first function, enhancing roadway capacity, can have a pronounced influence on ETE. Such tactics are applied 4

sparingly during an evacuation since they can be resource intensive. These tactics, however, can be effective in reducing ETE when effectively and strategically applied. The most recent analysis performed with respect to this matter reveals that three TCP locations within the New Hampshire portion of the EPZ have been designed primarily as capacity enhancing: A-HB-03, A-HB-04 and D-HA-02. These TCPs will serve to expedite the traffic movement from within the Town of Hampton,

] including Hampton Beach. Id. at pp. 67-68.

1 By Applicants' admission, all three of the most critical TCPs in the New Hampshire EPZ are locnted within the Town of Hampton, with two d

of those TCPs situated in Hampton Beach.8 None of these three 8

l A-HB-03 and A-HB-04.

11 wu.cs ,. w e m as ~ rsm.. .w o. m

critical TCPs were involved in, woro managed, or woro staffed, during the emergency exerciso. The exerciso thorofore failed to test or evaluate this major portion of the NHRERP, which is designed to expedite evacuation of the highest and most densely populated beach area in the EPZ.

FEMA itself highlighted the extremo obstacles posed to an adequate evacuation by the "thousands of beachgoers in the Scabrook EPZ," FEMA Profiled Testimony, NHRERP (9/11/87), pp. 38-39, and has recognized the necessity for an adequate demonstration of the "organizational ability and resourecs necessary to control evacuation traffic." FEMA Objectivo 20.9 Yet the exercise ignored all of th7 critical TCPs, and ignored the beach area as well.

REPLY TO RESPONSES RE: BASES D. F AND G:

Roolv to Aeolicants' Position Applicants' position is again vague and deficient. The only additional objection prof fered by Applicants concerns Basis G, which alleges the exorciso failed to adequately test for the availability of sufficient manned emergency vehicles. Those capabilities, in FEMA's view, represent a primary component of the NHRERP strategy to 9

"FEMA objectives can serve as guidance as determining what the major observable elements are" which must be exercised prior to licensing. ALAB-900, supra, at 26, 12 w u.o w e ao,m n w w..is w ...w
