"e INTERIM FINDING Clinton Nuclear Power Station Off-Site Radiological Dnergency Preparedness State of Illinois DeWitt, Macon, McLean and Platt Counties March 12, 1986 IRrlidDUCTION A.
Area Description 1.
Facility and Surroundings ne Clinton Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 (Clinton Station) is co-owned by Scyland Power Cooperative, Western Illinois Power Cooperative and Illinois Powr Company and is operated by Illinois Power Conpany of Decatur, Illinois. The Station site enconpasses about 14,000 acres. mis includes the Station itself, about 150 acres, and a manmade, irregular U-shaped cooling reservoir of about 5000 surface acres, known as Clinton Lake.
De The topography consists mostly of slightly rolling prairie land.
Station is in Harp Township within DeWitt County, approximately seven miles east of Clinton, Illinois, at 737 feet above sea level.
We location can further ba definad by placing Clinton Station in an approximate center of a triangle formed by Bloomington, 22 miles to the north, Decatur, 22 miles to the south, and Chanpaign, 30 miles to the east.
De reactor containment, the focal point fer the Statirm, is located approximately three miles northeast of the confluence of the North Fork River and the Salt Creek. Se majority of the Clinton Station is located in the eastern half of DeWitt County with the arms of its man-made cooling reservoir (Lake Clinton) extending into the northeastern area of the County.
Land use within five miles is primarily agricultural with some rural The 1980 permanent population within five miles of the Clinton residences.
Station is 998 for a population density of 13 persons per square mile.
As a conparison, the density for the State of Illinois is 203 persons per square mile based on 1979 population estimates.
Wree conminities with a total 1980 population of 9,313 lie between five and ten miles from the Clinton Station. An additional 2,705 persons live in rural residences or on farmsteads for a projected total of 12,018 persons living between five and ten miles from the Clinton Station.

21s review resulted in a determination that the primary basis for the 10-mile EPZ boundary definition should be political jurisdictions, man-made features (e.g., highways, railroads, canals, etc.) or strong topographical features (e.g., streams, rivers, etc.) as well as Clinton Lake across the middle of the area, which could consistently serve as boundary segments.
Supportive evidence for the use of political jurisdictions to form the boundary is given by the strong bond between a given population and its Furthermore, political subdivision / city, town or township of residence.
political subdivision boundaries in the area of the Clinton Station have For this been_v_ery stable and are expected to maintain that stability.
reason, political subdivision boundaries are highly appropriate when considering the establishment of a stable, long-term EPZ boundary'.
Another reason for the predominant use of political subdivisions in defining the 10-mile EPZ boundary is that many of"the designated lccal response agencies (particularly fire and police departments) are structured on the basis of local political subdivisions and are established to serve these subdivisions. Designation of the 10-mile EPZ along these boundaries sinplifies many aspects of offsite energency response planning and preparation.
In cases where the local political jurisdictional boundaries were not reasonably near the 10-mile radius to the Clinton Station, atterrpts were made to use man-made, or topographical features as a boundary basis.
In such cases, highways were the preferred choice as the basis for the EPZ definition.
For dissemination of emergency instructions and information to the public, thirty Sub-Area boundaries have been identified and established based on demography, topography, land characteristics, access routes and jurisdictional boundaries as discussed above. State and local emergency preparedness officials have participated in the development of the Clinton Station EPZ and Sub-Area boundaries.
In the event of a serious accident at the Clinton Station, the plume exposure EPZ will be the area in which intensive efforts will be made to notify and protect residents and transient populations from exposure to radiation. This EPZ includes the following municipalities; Go"errrnents within the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone DeWitt 1980 Miles Direction County houlation Fran Site From Site Clinton 8,014 7

Their ernergency resources are.pqfficient to meet the everyday emergency need of the residents, businesses and industries but the emergency resources may be limited to meet a technological emergency such as a significant radiological accident at the Clinton Station. S e State resources would supplement the local efforts to combat such an occurrence.
B.
Dneroency Planning Authority and Organizations The Illinois Emergency Services and Disaster Agency Act of 1975 (Ill. Rev.
Stat. Ch. 27, para.1101 et. seq.) establishes an Emergency Services and Disaster Agency and confers upon it broad authority to plan for a coordinated response by State and local agencies to all disasters, whether from natural or marrnade causes. The Act provides that the authority to deploy resources in response to an emergency shall be provided by an executive proclamation of a " State of Disaster Emergency."
The Illinois Nuclear Safety Preparedness Act (Ill. Rev. Stat., Ch.111 1/2, para. 4301 et. seq.) designates the responsibility for emergency response planning for accidents at fixed nuclear facilities to the Illinois Departanent of Public Health and provides for a fee to be assessed on licensed nuclear power reactors to fund the Illinois Nuclear Safety W e Governor of Illinois, by Executive Order Number Preparedness Program.

PLAN EVALUATION
SUMMARY
The State General Plan (IPRA Volume I) has been formally reviewed and approved for the site-specific locations of Dresden (FEMA-REP-5-IL-1) and LaSalle (FE".A-REP-5-IL-2). Those approvals are based upon the IPRA Volume We 1982 I, dated February 2, 1981, which was reformatted in March 1982.
edition condensed the volume by printing on both sides of the pages, made monor changes and corrections reconmended by the Regional Assistance Connittee and placed the Standard Operating Procedures in a separate binder. Based upon the Regional Assistance Connittee review of plans and exercise results, FDd.A determined the document to be adequate. In addition, unddr the IPRA Volume I, March 1982, the Regional Director's Evaluations for Quad Cities (FE".A-PIP-5-IL-3) and Zion (FEMA-REP-5-IL-4) were subtitted October 25, 1983, approved March 2, 1984 and published in the Federal Register March 9, 1984. The Regional Director's Evaluation for Byron (FEMA-REP-5-IL-5) was subnitted June 18, 1984, approved September 13, 1984 and published in the Federal Register September 19, 1984.
A new edition of the State General Plan (IPRA Volume I) was submitted along The new with the preliminary Clinton (IPRA Volume VIII) Plans and SOPS.
version has eliminated extraneous material and has been condensed to a more useable document. It is currently undergoing formal RAC review to determine if it significantly alters any of the early RAC findings for IPRA Volume I.

Radiological Dnergency Response Training We State General Plan (IPRA Volume I) provides for the conduct of training to any group or jurisdiction on an annual basis and training is available upon request at any time. But the plan does not address emergency training for those emergency governnent organizations where nutual aid agreements are an integral part of the planning (Macon, McLean and Piatt Counties).
We Clinton Plan (IPRA Volume VIII) and the State General Plan (IPRA Volume I) establish a training program for instructing and qualifying personnel who will inplement radiological emergency response. The training includes and is not limited to annual retraining.
P.
Responsibility for the Planning Effort: Development, Periodic Review and Distribution of Dnergency Plans ne plans, in their training program, make provision for the training of those individuals who develop general and site-specific plans. Individuals by title are designated with responsibility for the development and updating of emergency plans and coordination of the plans with other response organizations. W e updating of local plans is the responsibility of the County emergency director.
The annual certification procedure is stated in the State General Plan (IPRA Volume I).
The approval process for changes in the plan and the forwarding of the changes is discussed in the local plan and is accounted for in the State plan.

Special consideration is given to the State of Illinois for this criteria element in that the State currently has five operating nuclear power stations within its boundaries and ultimately there will be seven. It poses an unusual and demanding hardship on the State to update telephone numbers As discussed with the Illinois ESDA in past evaluations it is quarterly.
agreed an annual update is necessary to the Federal holders of the plan.
However, it is understood and agreed to that at the State and local levels, all telephone listings will be kept current as they change.
CONCLUSION We foregoing is the status based on RAC consensus review of the preliminary offsite planning for the Clinton Nuclear Power Station and the schedule of corrective actions and the preliminary evaluation of the initial joint exercise.

2e State of Illinois has specifically addressed each of the planning inadequacies which could adversely affect public health and safety and their proposed corrective actions provide reasonable assurance that the plan will be adegaate and capable of being inplemented.
Several of the proposed corrective actions have already been inplemented by the State of Illinois with the remainder to be incorporated into the formal he specific planning inadequacies which will remain until plan subnission.
