Susan A. Carter Petition BACKCROUNDt

'Ihis nemorandum is a status report of the actions taken by the Toledo Edison Conpany and the State of Ohio in response to the above petition to the Nuclear Regulatory Connission. %c Susan A. Carter Petition references the passage of a non-binding resolution by the Ohio Association of Public School mployees, Ancrican rederation of State, County, and Municipal Diployees, AFL-CIO (OAPSE-AFSCME), to not participate in planning or evacuation in case of an e:rergency at the Davis Besso Nuclear Power Station. The petition further states that "the passage of the resolution by the union raises serious questions and doubts as to the efficacy of existing energency plans for Davis Besse, as extensive reliance is placed upon the use of school bus drivers and volunteer drivers to transport children and adults with special transportation needs from the energency planning zone in the event of a nuclear accident at the DBNPS."

Susan Carter and the Toledo Coalition for Safe Energy further denand that the Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and/or the full Nuclear Regulatory Conmission require Toledo Edison Conpany to show cause why its ooerating license for the DBNPS should not be suspended or terminated. They further derranded the NRC issue an itmediato order restraining the DBNPS from its contenplated Novenber 4,1986 restart, or any other contenplated date for the startup of the plant pending full adjudication of the issues raised in the petition.

i StM1ARY:

c In spite of the resolution passed by OAPSE-AFS m E, Northwest chapter, it does appear that school enployees are willing to cooperate, attend neetings and participate in training related to their energency duties (school bus j drivers, food service, custodial, etc.) in the event of an emergency at the i Davis Besse Nuclear Powar Station. In addition, It should be pointed out j that school refugee recqtion centers as part of emergency evacuation plans for DBNPS are outside the 19 mile EP2. Therefore energency workers, paid or

volunteer, are not subject to the same hazards as those emergency workers

performing duties within the 19 mile EP2.
