1 This testimony addresses Seacoast Anti-Pollution League contentions 7 and 33. These challenge.the adequacy of personnel
-and equipment available to the four designated host communities to meet the registration, monitoring and~ decontamination requirements associated with assistance provided to emergency workers and general public evacuees arriving at reception centers and to provide for adequate disposal of waste water.
PLANNING BASIS Personnel, equipment, and facilities necessary to provide registration, monitoring, and decontamination functions at reception centers and monitoring and decontamination facilities have been analyzed. Critical to the scope of these needs is the number of emergency workers and evacuees that can be expected to present themselves at the several reception centers. The bases for the determination of the " load" to be placed on host community centers are described below. The results of these analyses will he reflected in NHRERP Volume 4A, Appendix F and Volume 4B, Division of Human Services procedures.
Since the direction of the plume is not known, the planning basis provides for the simultaneous and independent operation of the host community recepticn centers.
Therefore, for the purpose of estimating the staffing and equipment requirements for registration, monitoring, and
decontamination operations, it has been assumed that all segments of the EPZ would be affected by a contaminating, l particulate release. This is a very broad, theoretical and l
conservative assumption. First, not all severe accidents j i
would involve the release of particulate materials. NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1 at p. 15 states:
l
[T]he potential for releases to the environment !
decreases dramatically in this order: (a) gaseous !
materials; (b) volatile solids, and (c) non- j volatile solids. For this reason, guidance for i source terms representing hypothetical fission product activity within a nuclear power plant containment structure emphasizes the development of plans relating to the release of noble gases and/or volatiles such as iodine. Consideration of particulate materials, however, should not be completely neglected. For example, capability to determine the presence or absence of key particulate radionuclides will be needed to identify requirements for additional resources.
Second, plume dispersion would limit the affected segment of the population to areas in a downwind direction from the plant. The less concentrated the plume dispersion, the less the concentration of potential contaminants. The accident assessment model utilized by State of New Hampshire emergency response personnel, described in NHRERP, Volume 1, Section 2.5.2, allows them to determi:ae the concentration and dispersion of an actual plume and, consequently, that segment j of the EPZ population which potentially could be affected by j l
a contaminating release.

- 1. Anticipated Number of Evacuees The FEMA Memorandum from Richard W. Krimm to FEMA Regional Offices and Natural and Technological Hazards (NTH)
Division Chiefs, dated December 24, 1985, entitled " Guidance on NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1 Evaluation Criteria J-12,"
Attachment 1 hereto, provides guidance as to the anticipated numbers of evacuees that may be estimated to arrive at host communities for radiological monitoring. This guidance suggests the use of 20% of the total evacuees as a planning basis for estimating the number of persons arriving at reception centers.
Based on FEMA guidance, the number of arrivals for each NHRERP host community was estimated by first obtaining the sum of the summer weekend peak population for each EPZ community to be routed to a particular host reception area. ,
With the exception of Hampton, Hampton Beach, North Hampton, and Seabrook, the summer weekend peak population estimates y-are based on Table 1, " Population of Municipalities," which is contained in Volumes 16 through 32 of the NHRERP. (The y, peak population estimates for Hampton, Hampton Beach, North "t / Hampton, and Seabrook are based on information contained in Volume 6 and an analysis of aerial photographs taken on Saturday, July 18 1987 between the hours of 12:00 noon and 9/ 1:20 p.m., as described in the testimony of the ETE and Human Behavior Panel). Next, the resident and patient population of special facilities and the number of those evacuees who
-4 -
l are transit-dependent for each EPZ community were subtracted from the peak population totals. The remainder population was then multiplied by 20% in accordance with the FEMA q memorandum. As a final step, 100% of the transit-dependent I I
was added to the total since all transit-dependent j 1
individuals will be transported to reception centers. The l mathematical model for determining each host community load is:
( Sum of Peak Special Facility Transit Dependent )
(20%) X ( Populations For -
Populations of - Numbers for )=P (Assignal Communities Assigned Ocamunities Assigned Ctrnmunities) 100% Transit Dependent Assigned Evacuee Ioad Per P + 'Ib 'Ihat Host Comnunity = Host Comnunity Performing the calculations, as described, equates to 9,667 evacuees arriving at the reception and decontamination centers at Manchester, 6,829 evacuees at Rochester, 9,621 at Dover, and 6,416 at Salem. The planned staffing level to fulfill the registration, monitoring, and decontamination function at each of the four host communities is based on the community (Manchester) which is anticipated to receive the largest number of evacuees (9,667).
- 2. Anticipated Numbers of Emergency Workers The current information from the New Hampshire personnel resource assessment program indicates there will.be approximately 1,300 state and local emergency workers who may potentially require monitoring and decontamination services

's equipment, vehicles, and supplies during the initial response phase of an emergency.
Contaminated emergency worker equipment, vehicles and supplies would be identified and isolated until such time as the Division of Public Health Services (DPHS) can evaluate ,
the safest and most efficient method to accomplish decontamination. However, DPHS supervisors may direct the decontamination of selected items as deemed appropriate, based on the need for the item, time, staff available, and other conditions which are unique to a particular emergency.
Appendix F9, Volume 4A, of the NHRERP identifies the appropriate equipment to conduct decontamination of the i
selected items. l
- 4. Anticipated Number of Vehicles Assuming 9,667 evacuees per host commanity and taking information provided in Volume 6 of NHRERP which indicates that a reasonable assumption for vehicle occupancy is 2.6, the planning basis for vehicle load at each host community ;
1 was obtained by the following calculation: l 9,667 / 2.6 = 3,719 vehicles Rounding the number, 3,800 vehicles was established as the planning basis for all host community centers.
- 5. Analysis of Reception Center Processing
- a. Registration Operations The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human I Services Emergency Services Units (DHHS/ESUs) are responsible
U o3 for establishing and administering reception and registration of evacuees at host community reception' centers. Each center will be served by these Emergency Service Units (ESUs), which are made up.of staff from DHHS Divisions of Human Services, Children and Youth Services and Elderly and Adult Services.
l These units will function as trained cadres of department personnel who will provide registration services as well as operational supervision to volunteers in the provision of evacuee registration, message exchange and locating service, information/ recreation services, mass care referral and student pick-up coordination. NHRERP, Volume 4B, Division of Human Services procedures provide a detailed description of what constitutes these various services.
All persons entering a reception center will be registered, including persons seeking information only or picking up relatives or friends. The principal purpose of this registration is to facilitate location of persons who may have been separated from a family or other unit.
Registration information will be recorded on Form 1050.
Other services such as medical or mass care referral, message exchange, family reunification, and provision of information to evacuees will be provided as needed.
An analysis of registration processing has been conducted by the Division of Human Services to determine the number of staff required to provide registration services under the most pressing circumstances. An assumption was
l made that one registrar can process a " registration unit"'
every ten minutes, which translates into six units per hour or 72 units per twelve hours. Based on the assumed vehicle occupancy rate a " registration unit" can be considered as 2.6 people..
l
- b. , Personnel Requirements and Availability L Using the number of evacuees anticipated to arrive at l
l reception centers, the calculation that follows determines the number of units requiring registration and compares it to available staff for each location.

- District Office Emergency Services Units ard Supplemental Personnel.
l The NHRERP, Volume 4B, Division of Human Services procedures,
. 4 includes a staffing chart entitled " Staffing Availability for Reception Centers". This chart will be amended to show the staffing levels in the table shown above. The personnel on the chart in Volume 4B who are assigned to primary and support ESUs are given training in reception center operations annually by the Division of Human Services.
Therefore, the total number of projected staff is in excess of that required to serve the anticipated number of evacuees arriving at reception centers. In addition, volunteers from the host and adjacent communities could be used to augment DHS staff.
- c. Equipment Requirements A minimum of 40,000 copies of Form 1050 will be acquired and stored at Division of Human Services district'and State offices. Other equipment, such as office supplies and 300 directional signs, is maintained at district and State offices, and is ready for delivery to reception centers.
Tables and chairs are readily available at the reception facilities. Crowd management material, such as rope and crowd tape, will be available as needed for Reception Centers from the decontamination center supplies which will be provided to each Host Community.
l 6. Analysis of Monitoring and Decontamination Operations.
The monitoring and decontamination centers are intended to serve the general public and emergency workers who are
--a--- - - . -- - - _ _ _ _ - -
evacuated from the EPZ and who might have been exposed to a release of radioactive material. Each host community has two monitoring and decontamination facility centers. 'The primary center of each host community has sufficient capacity to meet the planning basis of 20% of total evacuees. The secondary center in Manchester is used for emergency workers. The secondary centers in the remaining three communities are available to be activated if they are required.
The primary monitoring and decontamination center is co-located with the reception center in Manchester and Dover.
In Salem and Rochester, the primary monitoring and decontamination center is in a separate building near the reception center. The facility layouts and traffic flows for each monitoring and decontamination facility are presented in the NHRERP, Volume 4A, Appeniix F1.
- a. Monitoring and Decontamination Operations (i) Monitoring operations Initial monitoring of evacuees arriving at reception i
centers will consist of monitoring vehicles as they arrive at j the reception centers.
NHREP, Volume 4A, Appendix F1 shows the areas at which )
vehicles will be monitored as they arrive at each reception center. Vehicle monitoring procedures in Appendix F5 have been reviewed and will be amended to show that vehicles will )
l be monitored with a CDV-700 by one fire fighter performing a t
scan of the vehicle's grill and a wheel well. This procedure f !
i i 1 -
can be completed in approximately 50 seconds per vehicle and covers vehicle areas which would most likely be contaminated if a vehicle encountered a contaminating plume.
If the initial vehicle monitoring reveals no contamination, the vehicles will be directed to a parking area designated for non-contaminated vehicles, and evacuees
~
arriving in these vehicles will proceed to the registration area monitoring point, as shown in Appendix F1.
If initial vehicle monitoring reveals contamination, the vehicles will be directed to a parking area set aside for contaminated vehicles. Evacuees arriving in these vehicles will be directed to the control point monitoring area within the decontamination center where they will receive a more extensive, full-body, personal monitoring. This more extensive monitoring, called " control point monitoring" is described in Appendix F5, Volume 4A of the NHRERP.
Additionally, if an evacuee is found to be contaminated at the registration area monitoring point, the person is immediately referred to the control point monitoring area for more extensive monitoring. In this manner, evacuee monitoring provides for the immediate segregation of potentially contaminated persons from non-contaminated I
persons.
If the majority of evacuees arriving at the center are I
being referred to the control point, the registration area j
)
monitoring operations could be terminated by the DPHS i
Supervisor and all individuals would then be directed to the control point monitoring area. This would provide more effective use of available monitoring personnel.
Once contamination is pinpointed and recorded at the control point, the evacuee is referred for decontamination.
Each evacuee is " labeled" clean, contaminated or potentially contaminated through the use of a special tag which is given to all evacuees at the vehicle monitoring area. The tag has 1 body diagrams and identifying numbers used for tracking evacuees and belongings through the monitoring and decontamination process. Reception center staff will not allow an evacuee into registration until the tag shows the evacuee has been declared " clean".
(ii) Decontamination Operations As described in NHRERP, Volume 4A, Appendix F6, the initial step in the personal decontamination process would be the identification and isolation of any contaminated clothing or personal items. The contaminated items would be inventoried, (see Volume 4A, Appendix F5-Form 7), and placed in a personally identified plastic bag.
Decontamination of a person may be provided by three methods: local, general, and a combination of local and general decontamination. Local decontamination could be carried out in either a sink or shower when only isolated parts of the body are contaminated. Direct washing of the area with a soft brush and soap is employed with care being
- ______m_ _ _ _ . _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . _
l exercised so as not to spread local areas of contamination to other parts of the body. General decontamination consists of a full-body shower and is used when an evacuee is contaminated over a large portion of the body. A combination of local and general decontamination is employed when an evacuee is contaminated over a large portion of the body with localized areas of higher contamination. In this case, those areas of the body with higher levels of contamination would be washed using local decontamination procedures prior to t he full-body shower.
Each of the two decontamination centers per host community makes use of the gymnasium for waiting areas for the control point monitoring and locker rooms and showers for decontamination. Only middle and secondary schools are used for decontamination centers as they provide sinks and showers.
(iii) Emergency Worker Medical Referrals Emergency workers with wounds that require medical attention would be referred directly to a medical facility.
Volume 1, Section 2.7.5 and Volume 4A, Appendix F will be amended to clarify this policy. The medical facilities to which emergency workers may be referred, and their capabilities are listed in Table 2.8-1, Volume 1 of the of the NHRERP.
- b. Personnel Requirements I The chart below shows the number of personnel required

to staff the-monitoring and decontamination center in each'

, within a 12-hour period.
e
(i)- Staffing Levels for Monitoring Positions The staffing levels for the positions of Decontamination Administrator, 3, Buffer Zone Advisors, 2, and Interior Decontamination, 6, were derived from a careful review of procedures and experience gained through walk-though demonstrations, drill, and an exercise.
(ii) Staffing Levels for Control Point and Registration Area Monitoring The positions of Control Point and Registration Area Monitoring are responsible for providing monitoring of individuals to detect contamination. The personnel who staff these positions can be moved between the two positions, as necessary, to optimize the center's operation. Assuming the entire 9,687 expected individuals are potentially contaminated, all of the individuals would be referred directly to control point monitoring. Given an average monitoring time of three minutes per individual, 20 individuals could be monitored in one hour; and 240 individuals could be monitored in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The staffing level for these positions can be determined by the equation: -
I 9,667 (Assumed Facility Load) / 240 = 40.28 Staff Required ,
This number was rounded off to 41.
l l The control point monitoring positions at the secondary l l i decontamination center have an assigned planned staffing level of j I
six. Using the same rationale as discussed for the control point monitoring for primary centers, it can be shown the secondary
1 1 1 centers have the ability to monitor 1,440 individuals within a 12-hour period. Therefore, the Manchester secondary center, which serves as the monitoring and decontamination center for the emergency workers, can provide monitoring services for the anticipated 1300 emergency workers.
i (iii) Staffing Level for Interior Monitoring Position The personnel assigned to the position of interior monitoring are responsible for monitoring individuals after they shower. The staffing level of six would provide the capability to re-monitor approximately 1,440 individuals in a 12-hour period.
(iv) Staffing Level For Vehicle Monitoring Considering one monitor is able to survey a vehicle every minute (which equates to 720 vehicles in a 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> period) the staffing level of 11 monitors provides a capability of surveying 7,920 vehicles in a 12-hour period. This far exceeds the anticipated number of expected vehicle arrivals at each center including Manchester where an additional 1300 vehicles are anticipated due to emergency worker arrivals.
- c. Personnel Availability DPHS will provide personnel to staff the 24 decontamination Administrative positions in the four host communities. The Revision 2 of the NHRERP does not reflect current DPHS decontamination administrative staffing. Currently 18 individuals are identified to fill these positions. However, there are only 15 Decontamination Administrative positions l _
---___.__,__.m__.
required within the four primary centers and the secondary center in Manchester. As operation of these centers pronide sufficient capability to previde monitoring and decontamination services in excess of the anticipated demand, there is sufficient DPHS staff to support the planned host community response. DPHS will continue its efforts to identify individuals to staff the remaining six positions.
The New Hampshire Office of Emergency Management has established a working relationship with the fire departments of the four host communities for the purpose of providing monitoring and decontamination services. Based on arrangements with fire officials of the four host community departments, a total of 328 fire personnel will be available to respond to an emergency. The Office of Emergency Management has initiated a training program in monitoring and decontamination operations. Training has been provided to date to 162 personnel of host community fire departments. This training is ongoing and will continue to be provided regularly to ensure that sufficient personnel are trained to meet the requirements for maximum staffing of these operations.
To provide additional support to host town resources, fire departments from nearby communities that could or do provide i mutual aid fire services to host towns have indicated that they will provide personnel to support monitoring and decontamination operations. These departments provide a pool of approximately 271 fire personnel who will be available to support host
.- _-__..--m __
a community fire departments. The numbers of personnel available from these departments were identified by fire officials of the individual departments. The training of these fire departments-in radiological monitoring and host community operations is an
. additional measure ~to assure that sufficient reserves of trained personnel will be available.
Based on an~ analysis of the planning basis described in this testimony, the primary mo"itoring and decontamination center alone has adequate strifing to' monitor expected evacuees within an approximate 12-hour period. The secondary center at Manchester has the. capability to provide the described monitoring and decontamination services to all emergency workers. Each primary monitoring and decontamination conter will requireo66 personnel plus three DPHS positions for a total of 69 personnel required to provide the services described within this testimony.
The chart below lists the primary monitoring and decontamination center fire personnel needs and the fire personnel available for all four host communities.

conjunction with the primary center would require a additional 20 fire personnel plus three DPHS staff, it is not required to meet the planning basis and, except in the case of Manchester where it serves as an emergency worker decontamination facility, is for back-up use only. If the staffing for secondary operation is factored into the total need, the four host communities require an additional 80 personnel (exclusive of DPHS 1 supervisors). The resulting total staffing need of 344 (86 per host community) continues to be less than total available staff.
- d. Decontamination Capabilities i The decontamination procedure in Appendix F6, Volume 4A of the NHRERP indicates an average of approximately 10 minutes per decontamination shower.

- e. Equipment Requirements and Availability Equipment required'for monitoring and decontamination operations is listed in NHRERP, Volume 4A, Appendix F9. A revision of Appendix F9, which reflects revisions in supply inventories, is Attachment 2 hereto. The necessary amount of equipment is defined as that needed to monitor 9,840 evacuees and the necessary equipment to monitor 1,440 emergency workers and decontaminate those workers and selected equipment, vehicles, and supplies. While the list of suppliers in Appendix F9 is not amended, it may change as additional decontamination center equipment is purchased. It can be observed from the Appendix that more than the requirnd supplies are available.
Equipment will be stored at designated areas in each host community and will be maintained by the Fire Chief or i his designee.
The principal item of equipment required for monitoring operations is the CDV-700 survey meter. This instrument is to be used by monitoring personnel to screen vehicles and persons for potential contaminants. A total of 70 of these instruments is required to equip all of the described monitoring positions in both the primary and secondary l
monitoring and decontamination center for each host ]
community. A total of 80 of these instruments will be acquired and maintained in each host community, specifically for these monitoring positions. This provides greater than i l
e
-_.--_.m___.
10 percent surplus to allow for possible equipment failure.
These instruments will be subject to the same inventory and operational verification schedule prescribed for all radiological. equipment by the NHRERP, Volume 1, Section 2.4.5.
- f. Summary of Monitoring and Decontamination Center capabilities As shown in the Monitoring and Decontamination' chart, Attachment 3 hereto, the four primary centers in conjunction with the secondary center in Manchester, based on the standards presented in this testimony, will be able to provide monitoring services to anticipated personnel and vehicle arrivals at each center. Additionally, the chart summarizes the staffing requirements defined in this testimony and shows that personnel will be available in excess of the defined requirements.
- 7. Waste Water The procedures and equipment list for the sampling of waste water from the washing of evacuees and their vehicles are contained in NHRERP Rev. 2, Volume 4A, Appendix F10. The purpose of Appendix F10, Environmental Monitoring in the Host Community, is to verify that the discharge water from the decontamination centers does not exceed vclues for permissible concentrations identified in the New Hampshire Rules for Control of Radiation.
The current procedures of the NHRERP establish that State personnel will provide the resources to accomplish
?.
l . environmental sampling.
The responsibility for environmental sampling will be l - under the control of the Division of Public Health Services.
The Water Supply and Pollution Control Division of the Department of Environmental Services will assist in collecting samples. The Field Monitoring Procedures contained in the NHRERP, Volume 4A, Appendix C, will refer to Volume 4A, Appendix F8, Section D to reflect monitoring and sampling of host community decontamination center discharge water as part of the Special Environmental Sampling Procedures.
Sampling of discharge water from host community decontamination centers will be performed by the Water Supply and Pollution Control Division under the direction of the DPHS. Special Environmental Sampling Procedures will be l
added as an attachment to the Water Supply and Pollution Control Division of the Department of Environmental Services Procedures in Volume 4B of the NHRERP. Water Supply and Pollution Control maintains a roster of a minimum of 11 persons available to support special environmental sampling.
The equipment required for each set of samples per community is listed in Attachment 4. The described equipment is in the process of being acquired, and will be maintained by DPHS.
Contaminated water will be flushed into ordinary drains. Faucets or shower heads will be left open to insure that dilution occurs and that concentration limits are
._- __-._-.-_____-_mm. . _ _ _
maintained in accordance with the New Hampshire Rules for Control of Radiation. Sampling will be performed at the discharge points of the host communities at those locations specified in the procedures and other points that may be identified by DPHS. If deemed appropriate by DPHS, a New Hampshire monitoring team could be assigned to collect and screen water samples prior to the samples being sent to the laboratory. In any case, a laboratory analysis of these samples will take place in the DPHS Laboratory in Concord, New Hampshire. The laboratory equipment to be applied for this purpose is shown in NHRERP, Volume 1, Table 2.5.2. The type of analysis to be conducted on water samples is shown in Table 2.5-3.
- 8. Solid Waste Disposal Decontamination center close down procedures are coni;ained in Appendix F. Volume 4A and Appendix B of Host Community RERPs address shutdown and removal of contaminated material and contaminated waste. Contaminated waste will be disposed of by the State through established contractual procedures with qualified radioactive waste handlers, and in conformance with rules promulgated by the DPHS Radiological Health Program for control of radiation. Contaminated materials will be handled by New Hampshire Yankee according to the provisions of the letter from George S.

Assistant Associate Director State and Iocal Programs and Support SUaTECT: Guidance on WREG-0654/FDiA-REP-1 Evaluation Criterion J.12 mis mererardtzn provides interpretative guidance on WREG-0654/FD%-REFl protective response evaluation criterion J.12:
Each organization shall describe the means for registering and m'onitorirg of evacuees at relocation centers in host areas. Se personnel and equipnent available should be capable of monitorirg within about a 12-hour period all residents ard transients in the plume exposure EP2 arriving at relocation centers.
D e question arises as to the percentage of the evacuees that could reason-ably be expected to arrive at a relocation center (s). Previous experience gathered on evacuation responses to a variety of natural ard technological emergencies is not conclusive. Research into this matter, however, has revealed that anywhere frcru 3 to 20 percent of the evacuees arrived at relccation centers or shelters. For radiological emergencies, it is rea-sonable to assume that additional evacuees, to allay their concerns and fear over radiation, will go to relocation centers whether or not they have been exp:> sed to radiation. Bus, the percentage of potential evacu-ees fer radiological emergencies may be closer to the upper end of the 3 to 20% range. .
We congregate care issue is reviewed as a part of all Atcynic Safety ard j Licensing Ibard hearings, although it has never been formally litigated at such a hearing. Se corgregate care facility capacity in the vicinity cf nuclear power plants is usually cited as being between 5 and 15 percent of the estimated number of evacuees. With these percentages in mird, it is apparent that there is significant diversity in the frame of reference s.:r-rounding this issue.
