AFFIDAVIT OF ANTHONY M. CALLENDRELLO ANTHONY M. CALLENDRELLO, being on oath, deposes and says as follows:
1 1.
I am the Manager of Emergency Planning at Seabrook Station; my professional qualifications are set forth in the j
document attached hereto and marked "A".
2.
The sirens located in the Seabrook Station EPZ l
produce an ALERT signal with a frequency of 680 Hz.
l l
3.
Inadvertently, New Hampshire Yankee provided HMM Associates with the incorrect information that the frequency of the siren Alert tone was 800 Hz.
As a result, HMM Associates obtained ambient sound level measurements in a 0
0
.=,_
frequency band centered on 1000 Hz.
This band includes the 800 Hz frequency but does not include the 680 Hz frequency.
4.
Since the identification of the incorrect information, HMM Associates has conducted further ambient noise level measurements.
See attached document marked "B".
These measurements were taken using a frequency band width of one-third octave centered on 630 Hz.
5.
The 630 Hz one-third octave has a band width of from 561 Hz to 707 Hz.
Therefore, the frequency of the Alert signal (680 Hz) falls within this band.
6.
The one-third octave band width was selected for two reasons.
First, FEMA guidance specifies the use of the one-third octave band.
The Standard Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification System for Nuclear Power Plants, FEMA-43, dated September, 1983, specifies the band width to be used for ambient noise measurements.
In Section E.6.2.1 it states, "The ambient background noise level should be measured in that one-third octave band (s) containing the predominant tone (s) of the siren (s) used."
More recent guidance, the Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification System for Nuclear Power Plants, FEMA-REP-10, November, 1985, does not specify the band width l
to be utilized for the measurements.
It does allow the use of the FEMA-43 guidance since it is stated that FEMA-REP-10, i
" Supersedes FEMA-43/ September, 1983, Which May Be Used."
Second, based on information provided by Wyle Laboratories,. -.
(see attached document marked "C"),
a one-third octave is the preferred band width for ambient sound level measurements.
7.
These measurements show that in order to achieve the 10 dB above ambient background differential requires a siren sound level of at least 41 dBC.
The siren output design calculation shows that all areas of Merrimac are covered by at least 50 dBC.
Therefore, coverage in compliance with the design objectives of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1 is achieved.
8.
Initial ambient sound level measurements were made on January 19, 1987 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day).
- However, subsequent measurements were made on March 10, 1987, a day more representative of a " typical" weekday.
9.
Attachment "B" provides all the information suggested in FEMA-REP-10 with the sole exception of summer daytime ambient sound pressure levels.
Additional ambient sound level measurements can be made in the summer season to confirm the 10 dB differential between siren sound pressure level and measured ambient.

March 11, 1987 Mr. James A.-Mcdonald New Hampshi,re Yankee Seabrook Station P.O. Box 300 Seabrook, New Hampshire 03874
Subject:
Seabrook Siren System Ambient Sound Level Measurements: Merrimac, MA
Dear Mr. Mcdonald:
As directed by Mr,. Anthony M. Callendrello, HMM Associetas conducted ambient sound level measurements in the Town of Merrimac, Massachusetts. All measurements were made on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 10, 1987. The purpose of these measurements was to determine the existing ambient sound pressure levels in the one-third octave band containing the predominant tone of the sirens used in the Seabrook Station Public Alert and Notification System, as recomr.'. ended in Section E.6.2.1 (page E-6) of FEMA-43.
Under Section C,3,e of Appendix 3 of NUREG-0543/ FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, siren system coverage is dee:ned acceptable if the siren design levels are predicted to be higher than 60 dBC in lightly populated areas like Merrimac (where population densities are less than 2,000 persons per square mile); coverage is also deemed acceptable if the design levels are predicted to be less than 60 dBC, but are shown to be higher than 10 decibels above the average summer daytime ambient sound levels in the frequency band containing the siren tone.
Throughout most of the Town of Morrimac, the dren tesign coverage levels are predicted to be higher than 60 dBC.
However a a teral areas, notably in Merrimacport and along the Merrimack Rivet, Aa
, the northeastern section of town, design coverage levels are predicted to be between 50 and 60 dBC. To demonstrate the acceptability of the sirens' coverage, it is necessary to shew that the daytime ambient levels in these areas are more than 10 decibels quieter than the design coverage levels of the sirens.
In general, the areas in which the design coverage levels are expected to be less than 60 dBC are fairly lightly populated, with population densities far less than 2,000 persons per square mile. The ambient sound levels in these areas are dominated primarily by natural sounds (birds, wind in the tress, etc.) and by traffic noise, both from local roads and from Interstate Route 495, which runs through the southern portion of the town. There are no corunercial activities that influence the ambient sound levels in any of these areas.
w i.
' The rationale for the selection of measurement locations for this series of measurements was to obtain data on the ambient sound levels representative of those throughout the areas with less-than-60 dBC design coverage levels.
Thus, points were chosen on the basis of their relationships to the siren locations, the 60 dBC coverage area, and to obtain a good spatial distribution of measurement points throughout these areas. Proximity to residences was also taken into account.
In addition, because traffic noise plays a large part in determining the ambient sound levels in these areas, care was taken to choose points where traffic noise influence would be greatest, and thus, where measurements would conservatively represent the actual ambient levels, particularly at locations further removed from the roads than the measurament positions.
Acoustical measurements at each of the measurement locations consisted of statistical samplings of the daytime ambient sound levels.
The readings were made using the ANSI-standard one-third octave band filter centered at 630 Hz.
(Note:
The one-third octave band filter, with a bandwidth spanning frequencies between about 561 and 707 Hz, encompasses the 680-Hz siren tone.)
At each location, measurements were made over a 15-minute sampling period, Determinations were made of the percentile levels, L, L10. L50 L90 1
and Lgg (the levels exceeded 1, 10, 50, 90 and 99 percent of the time, i
respectively, during the measurement period) at each point. Of interest here is the L90 level, which is generally used to characterize the background sound level, in the absence of brief transient noise such as might be caused by a vehicle pass-by.
To conservatively account for the influence of traffic noise on the ambient sound levels in the areas under study, the measurements were made during the late afternoon rush hour, when traffic noise is likely to be highest, both on the local roads in the area, and on Route 495.
To check the validity of the statistical levels measured in the 630-Hz third-octave band, brief residual readings in the 500-Hz octave band were made at each location, using an independently-calibrated sound level meter -- the meter was observed for a brief period of time, and the most common minimum level in the 500-Hz octave band was noted. This technique gives an approximation of the Lgo level at the time.
The equipment used to measure the ambient sound levels included a Bruel &
Kjaer (B&K) Type 2231 Modular Precision Sound Level Meter, equipped with a B&K Type 1625 1/3 - 1/1 Octave Filter Set, a B&K Type 4155 Half-inch Prepolarized Condenser Microphone, and a B&K Type BZ 7101 Statistical Analysis Module (which automatically calculated the percentile levels obtained during the pre-defined 15-minute sampling period). A General Radio Type 1933 Precision Sound Level Meter and Analyzer was used to check the validity of the measurements made with the B&K equipment; this meter was independently calibrated with a General Radio Type 1562-A Permissable Sound Level Calibrator. All of the equipment used complies with the current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) specification S1.4 for Type 1, " Precision", sound measurement instrumentation.

1713-1728 River St & Locust St 30 33 F
1649-1704 River St & Merrimac St 31 34 As can be seen, the measured levels everywhere are much quieter than 10 dB below the design siren coverage level.
Even conservatively assuming that siren coverage levels are no higher than 50 dBC in the areas covered by design levels of 50-60 dBC, the measurements show that the siren coverage levels will exceed the ambient levels by 19 to 30 decibels, far exceeding FEMA's 10 dB criteria; at Location C, the greater-than-60 dBC design coverage level will exceed the measured ambient level by at least 18 decibels.

12 March 1987 3/N 59551 Mr. A.M. Callendrelio Public Service of New Hampshire New Hampshire Yankee Division P.O. Box 300 Seabrook, New Harnpshire 03874 Dear Mr. Callendrellos Pursuant to our telephone conversation of 11 March 1987, I have examined the question of the proper range of frequencies to be used when comparing pure-tone stren sound levels with ambient noise levels for purposes of assessing detectability. This letter summarizes the results of that examination from two different aspects: (1) an analysis of the federal documents relating to the subject, and (2) an analysis of the technical literature on signal detection theory.
(1)
Federed Dgqsaments The pertinent federal documents ares e CPG l-17, " Outdoor Warning Systems Gulde", March 1,1980 e NUREG-0634/PEMA-REP-1, Rev.1., " Criteria for Preparation and Evalua-tion of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants", October 1980.
e FEMA-43, " Standard Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants", September 1983.
FEMA-REP-10, "Gulde for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems e
for Nuclear Power Plants", November 1985.
CPG l-17 states that "the most important factor that determines the detectability of
-to-noise ratio measured over a range of frequencies around the a sound is the sipIt further states that "recent studies have also shown that the level signal frequency.
of sound from a warning device must be about 9 dB higher than the level detectable under laboratory conditions in order to attract the attention of otherwise preoccupied observers." This document does not specifically state the frequency range that should be used for signal-to-noise comparisons.
NUREG-0454 states that "as an acceptable criteria at most locations 10 dB above average daytime ambient background should be a target level for the design of an adequate alren system." It explains this choice by stating: "The 10 da dissonant u
//
_______O
Mr. A.M. Callendre!Io Page 2 12 March 1987 differential is a conservative use of the 9 dB differential which is d!scussed in PEMA document CPG l-17. Research has shown that a person la capable of being alerted by such a differential above or below the background ambient in the case of a predominantly narrow band 300 to 800 Hz emitted by large strens."
Again, this document does not specify a frequency range that should be used to determine whether or not a 10 dB differential between stren and background exists.
FEMA-43 is the first of these federal documents to specify a frequency range to be used for the 10 dB signal-to-noise detrmination. It states:
... should the design report choose to show that the alren sound level exceeds an averate measured outdoor daytime (period between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.) ambient sound levers) by 10 dB... the ambient background noise level should be measured in that one-third octave ban ((s) contalning the predominant tone (s) of the siren (s) used."
Finally, FEMA-REP-10 states that one of the two conditions under which the design report will demonstrate compilance with NUREG-0434 is if "the expected stren sound pressure level generally exceeds the average measured summer daytime ambient sound pressure levels by 10 dB (geographical areas with less than 2,000 persons per square mile)." It goes on to specify that one of the items of Information that should be provided in the design report is the frequency range of the actual measurement. This document does not specify what frequency range should actually be used.
To summarize the review of federal documents, only FEMA-43 mentions a specific frequency rante to be used for the 10 dB differential determination.
It states unequivocally tiat one-third octave band measurements should be used.
(2)
"'- ' Detection TL An examination of the technical literature on signal detectability provides a p'1ysical reason for this choice. The detection of pure-tone signals in random noise backgrounds has generally been approached by using the concept of " critical bands". (See,for example, The Effects of Noise on Man, by Karl D. Kryter, Academic Press,1983.) This concept states that only random noise frequencies within a certain (critical) bandwidth are errective at masking a pure tone at the bandwidth conter frequency. For center frequencies above approximately 400 Hz, these critical bands may w spproximated by one-third octave bands. Thus noise energy outside the one-third estave band limits does not appreciably assist in masking a pure-tone signal at the band center frequency.
As a result, it is clear that a one-third octave band amblent sound level measurement is the appropriate parameter to use in assessing the detectability of a pure-tone stren signal whose dominant tone is typleally above 400 Hz.
