October 9, 1986 The Honorable Samuel J.
Chilk Secretary of the Commission U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Dear Mr. Chilk:
The Board of Education of the South Country Central School District and I are anxious to clarify any possible misunderstandings which may have resulted f rom plans submitted by the Long Island Lighting Company regarding emergency action to be taken in the event of a radiological accident at the Shoreham nuclear power plant.
This school district has never adopted or agreed to implement any emergency plan to respond to such an accident.
To our knowledge, there is no school district in Suf folk County which has adopted such a plan.
We find it incredulous that you have believed and accepted LILCO's claims that the following conditions are in effect for all school districts within Shoreham's ten-mile " emergency planning zone":
i 1
l 1.
preparedness is adequate to protect school children in the event of a Shoreham accident; 2.
during such an accident, school bus drivers would be l
available to drive children home or to evacuate them; 3.
teachers and other school personnel and officials would:
(a) remain in school, inside the emergency planning zone, l
to supervise children during an early dismissal or l
while they attempt to shelter from radiation; 1

r The Honorable Samuel J.
Chilk Page Two (b) accompany children to buses which would take them through the emergency planning zone to evacuation centers to be located substantial distances away f rom schools; (c) remain with children to supervise them in evacuation centers, and (d) even drive school buses through the emergency planning zone as part of an early-dismissal or an evacuation of schools.
At its meeting last night, the Board of Education adopted a very brief but cogent resolution which we. urge that you take very seriously as you consider any plans to allow LILCO to proceed with its Shoreham project.
The resolution reads as follows:
RESOLVED, that until such time that the State of New York and the County of Suffolk adopt and approve an implementable emergency response plan for an emergency at the Shoreham nuclear power station, the South Country. Board ' of Education concludes that no operating license should be granted to LILCO for the Shoreham plant and that low power testing should also be prohibited.
