l AFFIDAVIT OF EDWARD A. THOMAS IN SUPPORT OF CERTAIN MOTIONS FOR
SUMMARY
DISPOSITION l
1, Edward A. Thomas, under oath, do state that the following is true:
)
l 1.
I am the Division Chief of the Natural and Technological Hazards Division of Region I of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
As such, one of my responsibilities is the management of FEMA's Radiological Emergency Planning Program in New England.
I 2.
I also serve as the Chairman of the Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), an interagency committee established pursuant to 44 C.F.R., Part 350.
3.
Since 1981, I have been responsible for leading and coordinating the FEMA and RAC reviews and evaluations of State and local radiological emergency planning and preparedness in FEMA Region 1 (comprising the six-B7070B02b7 070702 PDR ADDCK 05000443 G
I i
state New England area).
In this regard, I have reviewed o' supervised I
the review of the radiological emergency response plans of numerous State and local jurisdictions within the New England area, and participated in observing or evaluating the conduct of more than 20 radiological emergency preparedness exercises in FEMA Region I.
I 4.
FEMA and the RAC have reviewed the plans submitted by the State j
i of New Hampshire designed to protect the public in the event of ar. accident i
at the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. These reviews were performed under l
my direction by FEMA staff, consultants to FEMA, members of the RAC and other federal employees who assisted the RAC members.
)
1 5.
On February 26, 1986, FEMA observed an exercise of New Hampshire's plans to protect the public in the event of an accident at Seabrook. The final report of the evaluation of that exeercise was completed on June 2, 1986, and mailed to the State of New Hampshire on June 6,1986.
6.
I have read and am f amiliar with the emergency planning contentions which are the subject of Motions for Summary Disposition filed in June 1987, i
by the Applicant, the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I
and the Town of Hampton.
7.
Based on the continuing review by FEMA and the RAC of the New
)
Hampshire radiological emergency response plans as well as the State's j
Compensatory Plan and revisions to the plans and the evaluation of the l
j l
emergency planning exercise conducted on February 26, 1986.
I am satisfied that, within the scope of the contentions listed below and the matters embraced by these contentions, the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency I
l Response Plans appear to be adequate and no genuine issue of material fact remains to be litigated.
For this reason, FEMA supports the following motions j
i for summary disposition:
l i
8.
FEMA supports the Applicant's Motion for Summary Disposition regarding Town of Kensington Contention 2.
This contention deals with the means by which the Town of Kensington will receive notification of an emergency at Seabrook.
In its review of Rev. 2 of New Hampshire Plans for Seabrook, dated December 15, 1986, FEMA and the RAC found that the Rockingham County Dispatch Center had both adequate equipment and personnel coverage for providing notification to the towns. The Affidavit of Gary J. Catapano submitted with this motion shows that the police and fire departments of I
l the Town of Kensington each have six radio pagers which can be useu for i
i notification purposes by the Rockingham County Dispatch Center.
9.
FEMA supports the Applicant's Motion for Summary Disposition regarding NECNP-RERP-2.
This contention deals with the areas in which the State requires federal assistance, especially from the U.S. Coast Guard and for shellfish examination.
In the FEMA /RAC Review of December 15, 1986, it was found that the deficiencies noted in Rev. 1 of the New Hampshire Plans with respect to this matter had been corrected..- ______
