o Compliance with 10 CFR 50.47tb)(S).
- 3. It is apparent to me that Mr. Jordan is operating from two wholly erroneous premises which have lead him to false conclusions with respect to the sirens located in Merrimac.
- 4. The sirens are battery operated. There is no need for them to have an AC power hock-up in order to function. In case of an emergency, the sirens can be activated from the control room at Seabrook Station by means of a radio signal. It is true that we would prefer to have an AC power hook-up in order to provide a constant trickle-charge to the batteries.
However, that is not necessary because we can operate, and in the case of Merrimac are now operating, under a procedure whereby fresh batteries are put in the sirens every two weeks.
Additionally, under our preventative maintenance procedures an operability test is performed every two weeks. The test consists of putting a radio signal into the siren and checking to see that the correct test LED lights come on at the siren control cabinet. These tests have been routinely conducted with respect to the Merrimac sirens since July of 1986 and have demonstrated that the sirens are operational.
- 5. Turning now to the third stren that has not been installed. New Hampshire Yankee has caused a study to be made to see whether the siren coverage would be adequate even 2
a assuming this third siren could not be installed. This study demonstrated that the applicable criteria will be satisfied even without the third siren. Attached hereto and marked "A" is a letter to me of July 7, 1986 from our consultant giving the results of the analysis performed. This letter noted that absent certain ambient noise measurements, our consultant could not completely confirm its judgment that the appropriate criteria would be met in all areas. Attached hereto and marked "B" is a letter to me from our consultant confirming that the necessary ambient noise level measurements have now been made, and that the appropriate criteria of NUREG-0654 are indeed satisfied.
- 6. Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that there exists a fully operable siren system in Merrimac, and thus an adequate means of notifying the populace of that town in the event of an emergency at Seabrook Station.

, Analysis of Coverage Without Siren MM-3 Dear Mr. Mcdonald As directed by Mr. James Robinson, HMN Associates has undertaken a brief analysis of the adequacy-of-coverage of the Seabrook Alert and Notification System in the event that the Merrimac Siren NN-3 cannot be installed as planned. Our analysis suggests that, even with Siren MM-3 removed the SeabrooksirensystemwouldstillsatisfytheguidelInesof Section C.3.f of Appendix 3 of NUREG=Od54/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1.
A draf t copy of a revised siren systee coverage esp, eithout Siren MM-3's contribution, is enclosed.
The deletion of Siren MM-3 would result in a reduction in the design siren sound coverage throughout much of northern and central Merrimac, MA, and portions of Amesbury, MA and Neeton and South Hampton, NH. Most of this area will still be covered by a siren sound level of at least 60 d8C, esintaining l
compliance with the FEMA critation specified in Section C.3.e of Appendix 3 of NUREG-OdS4/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1. In several small areas, however i
reduced below 60 dBC, thebetween
, to design 50 siren andsound 60 deC; covera less0e will abe than '
total of one-quarter of a square mile will be so affected. Our conclusion that adequate siren coverage will be maintained throughout these areas is based in large part upon our judgment that an ambient sound level survey there would reveal background noise levels of less then 40 d8C, and thus the siren coverage would comply with FEMA's "10 d8 above background *
, criterion specified in Section 3.c.f of Appendix 3 of NURCG-Od54/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1.

- Although not densely populated, people do live within the areas where siren coverage will be reduced to betecen 50 and 40 dSC.
Examination of USGS topographical maps of these areas shows
. houses located along Bear Hill Road in Merrimac, MA; along
! Asesbury Road in Newton, NH; and along the shores of Tuxbury i Pond in South Hampton, NH and Amesbury, MA. Hence, FEMA would j not consider siren coverage to be adequate unless it can be shown that the sound levels of the siren tone in these areas exceed the existing background level by 10 de or more; FEMA normally requires ambient noise level measurements for this ,
purpose. Again, it is our judgment that the ambient noise l levels in these areas would be found to be sufficiently low that the "10 de above background
- criterion can be met; however, we have made no background noise measurements to confirm this.
Should you decide to submit a formal amendment to the FEMA-REP-10 report documenting the deletion of Siren MM-3, we recommend that background sensurements be made in those areas where coverage has been reduced to between 50 and 40 d8C. Such esasurements would take about one day to complete. Please let
- us know if you want us to proceed with an ambient noise level j survey in these areas.

pen sit.imm i HMM Ref. No. 979/3378f January 20, 1987 Mr. James A. MacDonald New Hampshire Yankee Seabrook Station P.O. Box 300 Seabrook, New Hampshire 03874 RE: Background Noise Measurements in Merrimac, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. MacDonald:
As indicated in our letter to you of July 7, 1986, most of the town of Merrimac, Massachusetts is covered by a siren design sound level of 60 dBC or more from the existing two sirens in that town or from sirens in adjacent communities. A siren design coverage of 60 d8C or more is considered acceptable for lightly-populated areas such as Merrimac under Section C, 3, e of Appendix 3 of NUREG-0654/ FEMA REP-1, Revision 1 There are, however, five small areas in Merrimac where the siren design sound level coverage is between 50 and 60 dBC. Two of these areas are unpopulated and appear inaccessible by road.
The other three areas contain residences. These are along a portion of Bear Hill Road part of Merrimacport, and in Merrimec Terrace. On January 19, 1987,HMMconductedbackgroundnoise measurements in these populated areas.
The background noise measurements were conducted in accordance with Section C, 3, f of Appendix 3 of NUREG-0654 and with FEMA REP-10/ FEMA-43. Data were observed continuously for a period of 30 minutes at each location in the standard 1000 Hz octave band and were subject to a statistical analysis. The L90 levels (i.e., the levels exceeded 90 percent of the time during the measurement period at each location) are reported below:
Location L90 Bear Hill Road 26 d8 Marrimacport 40 de Merrimac Terrace (no.) 34 08 Merrimac Terrace (so.) 34 08 A
- o .
'~
These measured levels are all 40 de.or less. Hence, a siren -
design sound level of 50 dBC or more provides adequate coverage -
in these areas, in accordance with Section C,.3,-f of Appendix.3
~ ~
of NUREG-0654/ FEMA REP-1.
