SUBJECT:
NRC OBSERVATION OF TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER TRAINING FOR PILGRIM During the January 7, 1988 hearing conducted by Senator Edward I;ennedy in Massachusetts, the NRC staff stated that some limited demonstrations of off-site emergency response activities would be required prior to restart. This statement was made in response to questions concerning the ability to l-relocate transportation-dependent persons out of the EPZ during an emergency. In response to that commitment the NRC staff has observed demonstrations by transportation providers in their use of dosimetry, knowledge of their duties, and in the actual driving of the evacuation routes. I The documentation of the observations made by the inspectors is contained in a memorandum from William Lazarus, Chief, Emergency Preparedness Section to 1 William Russell, Regional Administrator dated Se)tember 9 1988 and in a memorandum from Craig Conklin, Senior Emergency ))reparedne,ss Specia William Lazarus dated October 20, 1988 (attached. The following table summarizes the demonstrations observed. ~ Date Type of Training August 23, 1988 Bus: School children and transportation dependent population l August 24, 1988 Bus: School children and transportation dependent population September 24, 1988 Ambulance: Special needs population October 8, 1988 Ambulance: Special needs population October 9, 1988 Ambulance: Special needs population October 10, 1988 Bus: Transportation dependent population The above training was preceded by classroom training, in use of dosimetry, basic radiation protection, basic emergency response, discussion of driver risk and consent. During the sessions observed by the NRC staff the classroom training was reviewed and the drivers were taken out to drive the actual transportation routes. The training was determined to be more than adequate in detail and content. The drivers were arovided with procedures and route strip ma)s which were adequate to allow t1em to run the assigned routes. During tie driving of the ' bus routes, other drivers followed the route on the maps that they were provided and responded to questions from the instructor during which they demonstrated a high level of retention from their previous classroom training. 1 bP
DEC 2 91988 ~ Based on the staff's efforts, the staff concludes that the commitment to observe limited demonstration of the performance of" transportation providers for the special needs population has been satisifed. If you have any questions regarding this matter please contact Mr. Ronald Bellamy (FTS 346-5200) or Mr. William Lazarus (FTS 346-5208). ( St/ mdb William T.
