BROCK: Your Honor, I had -- Matt Brock for 1 l l~ 2 Hampton, Your Honor. 3 We have a witness, Dan Trahan, who was to testify on f 4 th'e special needs panel. I believe he could be available 5 Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. I understand Mr. Dignan does 6 not want his panels interrupted, but it would help if I could 7 get some guidance now as to when he should be here this' week. 8 JUDGE SMITH: I don' t know how we could help. Are 9 you talking:about interrupting the Applicants' Direct' Testimony k 10 No. 47 11 MR. BROCK: Well, Your Honor, I could have him here 12 Wednesday morning to testify first thing if that's agreeable to 3 13 the parties.
- f j A_2 14 JUDGE SMITH
I really don' t know what'you are asking 15 me. -I mean, you are asking for us to guarantee that he could 16 be heard first thing' Wednesday morning? 17 MR. BRDCK: I' m not -- 18 JUDGE SMITH: It seems like a reasonable time. I 19 That's fine. 20 MR. BROCK: That's fine. Okay, Your Honor, I will 1 21 have him there then. 22 And one other matter, Your Honor. I have already 23 distributed copies of a motion filed on behalf of the Town of 24 Amesbury to the parties, and I should just like to pass those 25 on to the Board. They are being filed through the mail, but I Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888
7_~ l l 4665 '~' 1 am providing copies, because it concerns the shelter issue, and 2 1 would like to bring that to the Board's attention now. 3 JUDGE SMITH: Okay. i 4 MR. FIERCE: Your Honor, Alan Fierce from the Mass. t, 5 AG's of fice. l l 6 Defore Matt finally concludes that he want to bring 7 that witness in on Wednesday morning, I was going to propose i 1 i B that the parties get together after the end of today's ( 9 proceedings to see where we were so that we could try to gauge i L 10 what the schedule would be for bringing in the rest of the l l 11 witnesses that we have this week that we want to, hear. f 12 I had indicated I have one of my witnesses in from es - 13 Israel who is here this week, Avi Ceder. I know that the ETE ( 14 panel has, the Applicants' ETE panel has some folks who are 15 coming in from out of town, and I would propose that perhaps at ) i 16 5:00 today Matt, myself and Tom Dignan get toDether and try to 17 work out some schedule that would be convenient for all. 18 JUDGE SMITH: Yes, that's always the Board's 19 preference is for the parties to try to work out informally the 20 most efficient and least burdensome appearances. And we should 21 try to schedule only when there is an impasse. 28 MR. BACKUS: Your Honor, we have two pieces of f 23 testimony we would like to make available to the Board and the 1 24 parties today. One is supplemental testimony of Donald 25 Herzberg which is occasioned by the changes in the Applicants' 1 <~1 xr 1 i l Heritage Reporting Corporation L (202) 628-4888 L { i 1 l
g' l 4670 1 testimony on decontamination and reception centers. And Jane I 2 DeuDhty will hand that out. 3 The other is rebuttal. testimony of Joan Pilot 1 4 regarding emergency services, particular ambulance services, 5 and both of those individuals will be available this week. Mr. 6 Herzberg will be available -- Dr. Herzberg will be available 7 tomorrow afternoon which is our present expectation of when we 8 think he would be likely to be logically fit in. 9 JUDGE SMITH: Okay. 10 (Pause.) 11 MR. BISBEE: Your Honor, this Dana Bisbee. 12 JUDGE SMITH: Mr. Bisbee. p 13 MR. BISBEE: You' 11 recall a couple of weeks ago we N2 14 brought up to your attention the request for a subpoena of a 15 certain state police colonel by SAPL. And the State of New 16 Hampshire and Mr. Backus had agreed to the resolution of that 17 request whereby the state would produce a different witness to ~ 18 testify in three distinct areas. That witness is Captain 19 Sheldon Sullivan. He is here this morning. Mr. Backus has 20 been notified of his availability today and indicatud to me ) 21 last week that today would be an opportune time for him to 22 examine Mr. Sullivan on the various questions of state police 23 personnel availability. j f 24 If that were acceptable to the Board and the parties, 25 it may be most appropriate to begin with that examination, p~i iL l Heritage Reporting Corporation f (202) 628-4888 I
4671 ,] N_ 1 JUDGE SMITH: Was that discussed with the parties?. 2 MR. BACKUS: Yes, the issue was discussed with me,. 3 and that's perfectly aDreeable to me. i 4 JUDGE SMITH: Well, do you have any objections? 5 Anybody have any objections to.that? 6 MR. DIGNAN: No, I've got another preliminary matter i '7 I would like to bring up before we -- 8 JUDGE SMITH: All right. But as to the testimony, f 9 would it be all right with you then if we lead off with that 10 this afternoon? f 11 MR. DIGNAN: Sure. 12 JUDGE SMITH: Okay. Mr. Dignan. 13 MR. DIGNAN: Your Honor, I would like to distribute a s 14' corrected version of the ETE testimony and it's got an errata 15 sheet with it. It basically cleans up a bunch of typographical 16 errors and so forth. I don' t think it's any matter of 17 substance, but the other parties can make that judgment. 18 (Pause.) 19 JUDGE SMITH: Any other preliminary matter? 20 MR. TURK: Your Honor, Sherwin Turk. 21 I would simply note for the record that I have 22 distributed this morning a copy of the final rule adopted by 23 the Commission last week dealing with emergency planing where 24 state or local governments are not cooperating in the planning ( 25 process. I l Heritage Reporting Corporation ) l (202) 628-4888 l i I I l l l U I
i 1 1 1 i l l 467E E"i. I 'f - q 1 JUDGE SMITH: Thank you. We appreciate that. 2' All right, anything further preliininarily? l 3 M R. DIGNAN: Your Honor, on the theory that you have 4 asked that counsel advise the Board at the earliest possible j 5 moment of any change in theory of the case, or any other matter i 6 that may come up that have to be dealt with by the Board, and 7 following on Mr. Turk' s indication that he has distributed the 8 new rule and the statement of considerations in connection 9 therewith. issued by the Commission, I think one matter the 10 Board may want to give some consideration to, and I'm quick to i 11 say I filed no motion. I realize this, and I' m not sure what l 12 the natura of the motion would be. Is that the Commission has l y3 13 possibly stated in this rule that a certain ame.unt of testimony l ls2 14 that has already come in in this proceeding and is slated to l 15 come in in this proceeding may be irrelevant. And this is the 16 statements -- it's made twice. I' m reading from page 17. "The 1. 17 presiding licensing board should not hesitate to reject any la claim that stato and local officials who refuse to act to 19 safeguard the health and safety of the public in the event of 20 an actual emergency. In actual emergencies, the state, local 21 and federal officials have invariably done their utmost to 22 protect the citizenry as 200 years of American history amply '3 demonstrates." 24 And what I am raising, granted a preliminary matter, 25 is does this mean the Commission has in essence said this whole Heritage Reporting Corporation l (202) 628-4888 i __.m.-_
J ti. m' 1 1 1 4673 /~T -[ 1 issue of human response is out of emergency planning licensing 2 cases at this point. I' m not prepared to address it fully 3~ today, nor am I asking anyor,e to. But I did want to advise the 4 Board that my reading of this indicates that it may well be 5 that a determination can and should be made at some point in 6 - this proceeding as to whether we haven' t got a big block of 7 testimony, some of it already in, certainly some of it to come, f 8 some of it mine, as to whether or not the Board feels it has to 9 receive and undertake to listen to cross-examination on it in -10 light of the Commission's pronouncement in this latest 11 rulemaking statement. 12 JUDGE SMITH:. So this afternoon you are giving as .i 13 much notice as you can to the parties that you may be raising . (ag. (/ l 14 that. 1 l 15 MR. DIGNAN: That's my only purpose, Your Honor, and 16 to the Board. I thought this wasa't one to spring the last day 17 of the hearing or the day before a witness took the stand or f i 18 something like that. i ( t 19 MR. TURK: Your Honor, along the same line I would 20 note that on page 27 of the statement of consideration the 21 Commission addressed the standard of adequacy for emergency L 22 planning vis-a-vis what is necessary in the way of dose j L 23 reductions, and whether the emergency planning rules have any l l l 24 standard for dose reduction built into the emergency planning I i 25 regulations. l I (~') v Heritage Reporting Corporation j (202) 628-4888
.I ,,, :D "j g,-4 467L 1Q. .1 And during argument on the motion to exclude the 2-Sholley' testimony, I will be referring to that language. 3 JUDGE SMITH: All right. The Board had noticed both ~ 4-statements and both categories of statements in the statement 5. of consideration,.and recognize their relevance, 6 Anything further before we proceed? 7 All right, M r. Bisbee, is your witness present now? 8 MR. BISBEE: Yes, he is. 9 JUDGE SMITH: It's Mr. Backus' witness, I. guess it .10 is. i 11 MR. BISBEE: Yes. 12 JUDGE SMITH: Do you want a subpoena for him? 13 MR. BISBEE: No, that's not necessary. 14 JUDGE' SMITH: Okay. i '15 MR. BISBEE: Why don"t I call Sheldon P. Gu11ivan to 16 the stand. l' 17 JUDGE SMITH: All right. This is Captain Sullivan? 18 MR. BISBEE: Yes. 19 Whereupon, 20 SHELDON P. SULLIVAN 21 having been first duly sworn, was called as an adverse witness l 22 herein and was examined and testified as follows: l 1 ] 23-JUDGE SMITH You might, if you will please, state i 24 your name and your position. j I i .25 THE WITNESS: My name is Sheldon Sullivan.

( 11 O How about the' night shift? 12 A (Sullivan) Dasically the same. Basically what you 13 have is one-third'on, two-thirds off. i 14 O How about during the week? f I f 15 A (Sullivan) It's basically the same for seven days a 16 week. }. l 17 0 Now what is the availability of the men who are'not 18 on duty, not making up these six or seven that are typically on 19 duty you have mentioned? { 20 A (Sullivan) If it is a duty day, they are on call and 4 21 subject to response. 22 O And what is a duty day then? 23 A (Sullivan) In a given week you are responsible for 24 42 and a half hours a week, five days a week. So you have two 25 days off a week. If you worked a particular shift on a day, l O l Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888 i 1 l' l'- r l l

So if we could'again'take,a similar -- 3 just to' take a hypothetical,'a summer weekend during the' day, 4' there would be six or seven men, you have said, on duty, and 5-how many would be on call as you have described it? 6 A (Sullivan) It would basically be another third.. f i 7 Q Another third. 8 And then the final third would be on free time.for-l 9 them at that time. - 10 A (Sullivan) Days off. 11 Q Is that right? .i . 12 A. (Sullivan) Right. 13 O 'Just looking quickly here, it looks that if you add -] M 14 up these one-thirds, one-thirds, I don' t get.to 36. Would you 3 J 15 care to explain -- { 16 A (Sullivan)- Well 17 Q -- what the other members of the troop might be 18 doing? 19 A (Sullivan) Annual leave, sick leave, special duty. s,_, - - - l 20 Q Okay. 1 21 A (Sullivan) There are seven patrols in the troop, and k 22 those seven patrols are manned during a given shift. { 23 Q Now when you say typically on these shifts it's a 24 third of the -- the available troopers are duty roughly a third j 1 c 25 are on call, and roughly a third are on their own free time, j j Heritage ReportinD Corporation ] (202) 628-4888 l. 1 ._-____________________________O
'},, I SULLIVAN - CROSS 4675 l'% 'I 1 the' men on duty would be' typically in cruisers out on the 2 highways? 'f i 3 A (Sullivan) That is correct. 4l Q And the. men on call, are they required to be in any 5 part'icular proximity to the troop headquarters? 6 A (Su1~11 van) We have a resident troopers system. The '7 men do not report to the troop station. They have their 8 cruisers at home and would be responding from their residences. ( 9 Q Now am I correct, Captain, that Troop A is the only } 10 troop with its actual headquarters within the emergency 11 planning zone, the area approximately 10 miles around^the - 12 plant? q 13 A (Sullivan) Troop A is not within 10 miles of 1 iO- -4 14 Seabrook plant. -) ( 15 O How far away is it? l 16 A (Sullivan) It would be a guess on my part, but it's ] 17 not:within the 10-mile EPZ. 18 Q And where is the headquarters of Troop A, sir? i 19 A (Sullivan) Route 125, Epping. I 20 Q What would be the next closest headquarters for the I 21 state police, to Seabrook? ] l 22 A (Sullivan) To Seabrook? The nearest ones would be j i 23 Troop B, Bedford; Troop D, Bow; Troop E, Tamworth. Those are 1 24 the headquarters for those troops. i. l 25 Q It was Troop B in Bedford, and what was the next one { 1 i Heritage Reporting Corporation l (202) 628-4888 I l l l I I u--.
.t' -1 l: o-0 I p I SULLIVAN - CROSS .4680 I? ,:n t ' 1 you ment ioned? 8 A (Sullivan) Troop D in Bow, and Troop E in Tamworth, i -3 Q And would each of these troops have the approximate 4 same roster that Troop A doos? 5 A (Sullivat.) B and D are approximately the same. _E is 4 6 smaller. '7 O And,just in terms of geography if I am correct, Troop ] 8 E in Tamworth would be the most distant from the Town of 9 Seabrook;.is that right? ,j i { 10 A (Sullivan) That's correct, f -11 Q You have given us an outline, Captain Sheldon, of tne i 12 numbers that are on duty at Troop A at.any one time. Is this n 13 approximately the same system for the other troops? It's about j 3v! 14 one-third, one-third, one-third in a typical -- 15 A (Sullivan) Basically. l 16 0 -- time? 17 A (Sullivan) Basically. 18 Q And it also looks like in giving us these figures you f 19 were allowing for six or seven men that would be unavailable 20 because of illness or personal leave or vacation, things like 21 that; is that right? 22 A (Sullivan) That would certainly vary. But as I 23 stated, when I talked about one-third being off, t hat's -- I' m i 1 24 planning on annual leave, sick leave. When I say seven { 1 25 personnel on an average shift, those are troopers.

In the summer of 1969 he completed the Health Physics Training Program sponsored by Brookhaven National ) Laboratory and the USAEC. While completing the last three years of his undergraduate studies, Mr. I MacDonald worked for Sanders Nuclear Corporation in Nashua, New Hamsphire. as f an Engineering Assistant. His time was devoted to performing analytical j design of various systems employing radioisotopes as heat sources. This work 1 included the feasibility evaluation of the application of radioisotopes for { these systems, and devices by analytically designing and optimizing fuel capsules, energy conversion systems, and shielding. ] In addition, Mr. MacDonald worked on establishing and implementing a facility radiation safety program. This included work on the design and 1 licensing of a remote-handling hot cell and a radiochemistry laboratory. j l I \\ () Mr. MacDonald joined Yankee-Westboro in May of 1970 as an engir.eer within ) the Radiation Protection Section. In this capacity, Mr. MacDonald assisted ) in obtaining plant operating licenses in the areas of radioactivity source j term analysis and dose evaluations, environmental radiological monitoring l emergency planning, and in-plant radiation protection programs. j I In September of 1972, Mr. MacDonald transferred to the Saf ety Analysis Section where he worked in the source term and dose evaluation areas. These i evaluations were performed for radioactivity releases associated with normal plant operation and for releases associated with accident conditions. l In October of 1973, Mr. MacDonald was appointed to the position of Manager of-the Radiation Protection Group. In this capacity, Mr. MacDonald directed the activities of the group which include both licensing assistance in the radiation protection area for plants under design and construction and oper-1 ational health physics assistance for operating plants. Mr. MacDonald joined Public Service Company of New Hampshire in August of 1983 as Radiological Assessment Manager with the responsibility for implementation of the Seabrook Station Radiological Emergency Plan. 1 Mr. MacDonald is a national and New England chapter membar of the Health Physics Society and is certified in the field of health physics by the American Board of Health Physics. 9 5 13A-7 !^

The results of'these analyses j will be reflected in NHRERP Volume 4A, Appendix F and Volume 4B, Division of Human Services precedures. ,1 Since the direction of the plume is not known, the planning basis provides for the simultaneous and independent 1 operation of the host community reception centers. j Therefore, for.the purpose of estimating the staffing and I equipment requirements for registration, monitoring, and

yy 3 nj ,I ( l7 decontamination opedations,;it has been assumed that all j .I .stcjannts of the EPZ sould be affected by a contaminating, j ~ part:iculate release. This:is a very broad, theoretical and l cerisarvative assumption. First, not all severe accidents 'l wouldsinvolve the release of particulate materials. NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1 at p. 15 states: 1 [T]he potential for'releasco to the environment decreases dramatically in'this crder: (a) gaseous materials; (b) volatile solids, and (c) non-volatile solids. For this reason, guidance for source terms representing hypothetical fission 4 product' activity within a nuclear power plant { y containment structure emphasizes the development of i 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 i M identifyrequirementsforadditionalresoyrces. -( /] yh-Second,-plume dispersion would limit the iffacred I 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, l Section 2.5.2, allows them to determine the concentration and 1 dispersion of an actual plume and, consequently, that segment of the EPZ population which potentially could be affected by a contaminating release. f i T.

'~ / With the exception-of Rye, Hampt'oh, Hampton Beach, North s Haqpton, and Seabrook, the sbhtner weekend peak population f s estimates are based on Table 1,'" Population of p Municipalities," which 1$ containda in Volumes 16 through 32 of tholNHRERP'. (The peak population estimates for Rye, 4 Hamp' ton, Hampton Beach, North Hampton, and Seabrook are based I on infortaation contained in Volume 6 and an;cnalysis of ? it ^f ,s aerial photographs taken on Saturday, Jefy'r18 1987 between M .e 7 I that h,ours of 12:00 noon and 1:20 p.m., as described in the s I 'i i testinony of the$ETE and Humad BehavlIr Panel). Next, the i resident and patient population o'f g special fhcilities and the number of those evacuees who areitransit-dependent for each EPZ community were subtractodbf3;oha the 9eak population i totals. The remainder populatiEhIwas then md1tiplied by 20% l 4' i i y< s i
in accordance with the FEMA memorandum. As a final step, n i 100% of the transit-dependent was added to the total since all transit-dependent individuals will be transported to reception centers. The mathematical model for determining each host community load is: ( Sum of Peak Special Facility Transit Dependent ) Numbers for )=P (20%) X ( Pop 11ations For Populations of (Assigned Communities Assigred Communities Assigned Communities) 100% Transit Dependent Assigned Evacuee Icad Per Host Community P + To 'Ihat Host Community = Performing the calculations, as described, equates to 9,667 evacuees arriving at the reception and decontamination Q,, 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 at host community facilities. [& Revision 2 of the NHRERP allows for emergency workers, 3 -s-l l -_A----_
j-) during the first twelve hours, to be sent to any of the four (/ host communities. 'Upon closure of the centers for the ) general public, monitoring and decontamination assistance j will be provided for emergency. workers at the secondary monitoring and decontamination center at the Hillside Junior High School in Manchester. In order to eliminate the need to assign emergency l workers to one of four facilities at the time of the emergency and to facilitate the tracking of emergency workers and their exposure records, the NHRERP will be amended to j establish the Manchester secondary monitoring and decontamination conter at the Hillside Junior High School as j the~ emergency worker monitoring and decontamination center l ( ), for all stages of an emergency. Therefore, the secondary cente-in Manchester will have the capability to provide monitoring and decontamination services to approximately 1,300 emergency workers. c 3. Anticipated Emergency Worker Equipment and Vehicle Decontamination Requirements In general, the philosophy 6f the"New Hampshire RERP is i to plan for sufficient. resources to implement the emergency response efforts without reentry of emergency workers or re-use of their equipment once outside of the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ. This approach obviates the need to plan for extensive capability for decontamination of emergency worker equipment, vehicles, and supplies during the initial response phase of an emergency. ~ I 1
e f Contaminated emergency worker equipment, vehicles and ') i 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 l 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 NERERP identifies the appropriate equipment to conduct decontamination of the selected items. 4. Anticipated Number of Vehicles j I Assuming 9,667 evacuees per host community and taking (_) information provided in Volume 6 of NHRERP which indicates that a reasonable assumption for vehicle occuprney is 2.6, i the planning basis for vehicle load at each host community was obtained by the following calculation: I 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 i. Description of Operations l The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human l Services Emergency Services Units (DHHS/ESUs) are responsible i I f) for establishing and administering reception and registration l %J 1 1 _
7-) of evacuees at host community reception centers. Each center '~'/ s 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. 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 1 evacuee registration, message exchange and locating service, j i information/ recreation services, mass care referral and i 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 (q registered, including persons seeking information only or j picking up relatives or friends. The principal purpose of this registration is to facilitate location of persons who l may have been separated from a family or other unit. j i Registration information will be recorded on Form 1050. Other services such as medical or mass care referral, message i exchange, family reunification, and provision of information to evacuees will be provided as needed. An analysis of registration processing has been I 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 fS) made that one registrar can process a " registration unit" v -8 1
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. ii. Personnel Requirements and Availability Using the number of evacuees anticipated to arrive at reception centers, the calculation that follows determines the number of units requiring registration and the maximum number of registrars needed at each location. Reception Center Registration Resources and Needs Formula Projectai Arrivals / 2.6 = Number of Registration Units Since 1 registrar can register 72 units in 12 hours: tt.:mber of / 72 Units Nutrber of = Registration Units Registered in 12 hours Registrars Needed l Actual Planned Ighn Staffim Needed Staffim Recuired Rochester 6,829 / 2.6 = 2,627 Units 52 4 2,627 / 72 = 37 Registrars l l Dover 9,621 / 2.6 = 3,701 Units 52 3,701 / 72 = 52 Registrars Salem 6,416 / 2.6 = 2,468 shiits 52 2,468 / 72 = 35 Registrars l l Winchester 9,667 / 2.6 = 3,719 Units 52 3,719 / 72 = 52 Registrars Totals: 176 Registrars 208 l l l I
I-l' The NHRERP, Volume 4B, A-2. Division of Human Services r procedures, includes a staffing chart entitled " Staffing Availability for Reception Centers". 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.
- b. Other operations In' addition to registration requirements there are an additional 220 persons needed as follows:
Message Exchange and Locating Service 4 x 16 = 64 Coordination of Volunteers 4x 3 = 12 Information and Recreation Workers 4 x 10 = 40 Sorters and Receivers 4x 6 = 24 Student Processors (if schools in session) 4 x 20 = 3_Q 320 Thus, the total personnel needed to carry out all functions would be 428. In addition t:, the 90 ESU personnel, i I there is estimated to be another 471 personnel from the three l DHHS Divisions who could be called upon to staff the four reception centers. 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 DHHS staff. a 1 I .A. c. . Equipment: Requirements d.. 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 1 directional signs,.'is. maintained at district and State offices, and is' ready for delivery to reception centers. Tables and chairs are 'eadily available at the reception r 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. 6. Analysis-of Monitoring and Decontamination Operations. The monitoring and decontamination centers are intended to serve the general public and emergency workers who are -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 l 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 _u_ I J
t reception center.- The facilityflayouts and traffic flows for each monitorin'g'and decontamination, facility are presented in i the NHRERP, Volume 4A, Appendix F1. a. Monitoring and Decontamination Operations (i) Monitoring Operations t Initial monitoring.of evacuees arriving at reception centers will consist-of monitoring vehicles as they arrive at the reception centers. NHREP, Volume 4A, Appendix F1 shows the areas at which i vehicles will be monitored.as they arrive at each reception j i center.. Vehicle monitoring procedures in Appendix F5 have been reviewed and will be amended to show that veh c es will il be monitored with a COV-700 by one fire fighter performing a (). scan of the vehicle's grill and a wheel well. This procedure 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 q) - 12 1 i ._________._.J
} the decontamination center where they will receive a more ,- 3 \\'") extensive, full-body, personal monitoring. This more f 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 i immediately referred to the control point monitoring area for i more extensive monitoring. In this manner, evacuee monitoring provides for the immediate segregation of potentially contaminated persons from non-contaminated persons. j If the majority of evacuees arriving at the center are being referred to the control point, the registration area (] monitoring operations could be terminated by the DPHS 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 body diagrams and identifying numbers used for tracking evacuees and belongings through the monitoring and l decontamination process. Reception center staff will not allow an evacuee into registration until the tag shows the - 13 l l l l l
(- } l l l 1 evacuee has been declared " clean". i l 7s ( ) i (ii) Decontamination Operations As described in NHRERP, Volume 4A, Appendix F6, the i initial step in the personal decontamination process would be l l the identification and isolation of any contaminated clothing 1 or personal items. The contaminated items would be j I 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 l 1 general decontamination. Local decontamination could be i carried out in either a sink or shower when only isolated parts of the body are contaminated. Direct washing of the r~(m) area with a soft brush and soap is employed with care being exercised so as not to spread local areas of contamination to other parts of the body. General decontamination consists of l l a full-body shower and is used when an evacuee is l l 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 l be washed using local decontamination procedures prior to the l full-body shower. Each of the two decontamination centers per host 1 (~/ community makes use of the gymnasium for waiting areas for I T \\_
- l l
l l l 1
the control point monitoring _and locker rooms and showers for 1 ) . decontamination. Only middle and secondary schools are used [ for decontamination centers as they provide sinks and 'l' showers. 'l (iii) Emergency Worker Medical Referrals Emergency workers with wounds that require medical attention would be referred directly to a medical facility. 4 1 Volume.1, Section 2.7.5 and Volume 4A, Appendix F will be amended to clarify this policy. The medical facilities to 1 .which emergency workers may be referred, and their ] f capabilities are listed in Table 2.8-1, Volume 1 of the of the NHRERP. b. Personnel Requirements () The chart below shows the number of personnel required to staff the monitoring and decontamination center in each i host community. The staffing charts contained in Appendix j 1 F4, Volume 4A of the NHRERP will be amended to reflect these numbers. J l Functional Area Staffing Planned Primary Center Staffina I Decontamination Admin (DPHS) 3 Buffer Zone Advisor 2 Interior-Monitoring 6 Interior-Decontamination 6 Exterior-Control Point and 41 4 Reg. Area Monitoring Exterior-Vehicle Monitoring 11 69 4 [#l Planned Secondary Center Staffina Decontamination Admin (DPHS) 3 Buffer Zone Advisor 2 Interior-Monitoring 6 Interior Decontamination 6 I Exterior-Control Point _A 23 i TOTAL FOR BOTH CENTERS 92 The personnel staffing indicated for the primary center reflects the number of personnel that could provide monitoring services to 9840 evacuees within a 12-hour period, the staffing for the secondary center reflects the number of personnel which 1 l could provide monitoring services to an additional 1440 persons within a 12-hour period. [~D (i) Staffing Levels for Monitoring Positions l %-) The staffing levels for the positions of Decontamination i 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 j r^T l i (/ entire 9,667 expected individuals are potentially contaminated, ' i L___
all of the individuals would be referred directly to control /~' j \\ ') 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 hours. The staffing level for these positions can be determined by the equation: 9,667 (Assumed Facility Load) / 240 = 40.28 Staff Required This number was rounded off to 41. The control point monitoring positions at the secondary decontamination center have an assigned planned staffing level of six. Using the same rationale as discussed for the control point monitoring for primary centers, it can be shown the secondary - /~'T centers have the ability to monitor 1,440 individuals.within a V 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. (iii) Staffing Level for Interior Monitoring Position l 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 k_)g - 17
c minute (which equates to 720 vehicles in a 12 hour 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 1 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
() required within the four primary centers and the secondary center ( in Manchester. As operation of these centers provide sufficient capability to provide 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 I 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 j fire personnel will be available to respond to an emergency. The - 18 i i - a
) I Office of Energency Management has initiated a training program e ~' 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 mutual aid fire services to host towns have indicated that they will provide personnel to support monitoring and decontamination j operations. These departments provide a pool of approximately 271 fire personnel who will be available to support host Il 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 ) 1 in radiological monitoring and host community operations is an additional measure to assure that sufficient reserves of trained personnel will be available. L J Based on an analysis of the planning basis described in this testimony, the primary monitoring and decontamination center J alone has adequate staffing 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 k (') primary monitoring and decontamination center will require 66 l \\/ - -..
personnel plus three DPHS positions for a total of 69 personnel ? k required to provide the services described within this testimony, i The chart below lists the primary monitoring and decontamination center fire personnel needs and the fire personnel available for all four host communities.

If the staffing for secondary operation is factored into the total need, the four host communities require an additional 80 personnel (exclusive of DPHS supervisors). The resulting total staffing need of 344 (86 per I host community) continues to be less than total available staff. d. Decontamination capabilities The decontamination procedure in Appendix F6, Volume 4A of the NHRERP indicates an average of approximately 10 minutes per 1 (^N decontamination shower. 1 i (_) ! ] 1 i i l i i l i

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 l equipment is defined as that needed to monitor 9,840 evacuees I and the necessary equipment to monitor 1,440 emergency ] ] workers and decontaminate those workers and selected equipment, vehicles, and supplies. While the list of i suppliers in Appendix F9 is not amended, it may change as additional decontamination center equipment is purchased. It i can be observed from the Appendix that more than the required i q supplies are available. L/ { l
( Equipment will be stored at designated areas in each 73 r s l 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 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 (~') 10 percent surplus to allow for possible equipment failure. v 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. These will be added to the equipment list in j Appendix E. f. Summary cf Monitoring and Decontamination Center Capabilities As shown in the Monitoring and Decontamination chart, hereto, the four primary centers in conjunction with the secondary cen'ter in Manchester, based on the standards presented in this testimony, will be able to provide monitoring services to anticipated personnel and l es k_) vehicle arrivals at each center. Additionally, the chart j - 22 }
summarizes the staffing requirements defined in this ,- s 1 ) testimony and shows that personnel will be available in excess of the defined requirements. 7. Waste Water i 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 1 Community, is to verify that the discharge water from the ) decontamination centers does not exceed values for i permissible concentrations identified in the New Hampshire { Rules for Control of Radiation. The current procedures of the NHRERP establish that O seeee vere eme1 111 9r v1ee the ree "rce e ecc 911eu environmental sampling. f i The responsibility for environmental sampling will be under the control of the Division of Public Health Services. ] l 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. l Sampling of discharge water from host community l [ l l t
7 \\ i ? ). decontamination centers will be performed by the Water' Supply . V( and Pollution Control Division under the direction of the l 3- .DPHS. Special Environmental Sampling Procedures will be a'ded as an attachment to the Water Supply and Pollution d Control Division of the Department of Environmental Services Procedures in Volume 4B of the NHRERP. Water Supply and l Pollution Control maintains a roster of a minimum of 11 l. 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. l 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 maintained i in accordance with the New Hampshire Rules for Control of LRadiation. 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. - 24 I l 1 I

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 contrac'tual. i . procedures with qualified radioactive waste. handlers, and~in l 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. Thomas, Vice- . President for Nuclear Production, dated May 1, 1986, included i in NHRERP, Volume 5. ] O _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ - _ - _ _ _ _ - - _ _ _.

The 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 and technoic;ical ene mencies is not conclusive. Research into this matter, however, has i revealed that anywhere fran 3 to 20 percent of the evacuees arrived at relocation centers or shelters. For radiological ene gencies, 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 exposed to radiation. 'Ihus, the percentage of potential evacu-ees for radiological emegencies may be closer to the upper end of t.% 3 l to 20% range. De congregate care issue is reviewed as a part of all Atomic safety and Licensing Board hearings, although it has never been formally litigated at such a hearing. 'Ihe corgregate care facility capacity in the vicinity of nuclear ;cwor plants is usually cited as being between 5 and 15 percent of the estimated number of evacuees. With these percentages in mind, it is apparent t: t there is significant diversity in the frame of reference sur-rounding this issue. O 1 i i l i J

One is the 20 number of evacuees that will be arriving at a recept ion center. 21 That is divided by the number of persons assumed to comprise a 22 registration unit for the purposes of this testimony. 23. As I indicated, the number of 2.6 persons per 24 vehicle, which then corresponds to 2.6 persons per registration 25 unit, was used for the proposed staffing.

BACKUS: 4 G Now, at page 4 of the testimony you adopt an 5 estimated planning figure of 20 percent of the estimated 6 population to be evacuated is going to show up at the reception 7 and decontamination centers; is that correct? j 8 A (Callendrello) That's correct. 9 Page 4 says, "This guidance suggests the use of 20 10 percent of the total evacuees as planning basis for estimating 11 the number of persons arriving at reception centers." 12 Q And I take it that that 20 percent is based upon what 1 (~N 13 has been marked as Attached 1 to this testimony, which is a i \\-] 14 FEMA memorandum, the date on which is illegible here, but 15 December 24, from Mr. Richard Krimm; is that correct? j i 16 A (Callendrello) That's correct. l 1 17 G And the reference in question would be on page 2 of f ( l 18 that attachment under " Guidance" which states, "For highly j 19 improbable radiological releases involving high levels of I 20 radiation encompassing a relatively large area, it may be l 21 necessary to monitor a greater number of evacuees" -- I' m j 22

The 15-minimum of 20 percent was used as a planning basis. If you 16 read further i the testimony, the process for determining the 17 evacuee load at each reception center was done by calculating,- 18 in fact, it's on page 5, determining the peak population, l 19 subtracting out the special facility population, subtracting 20 out the transient-dependent population, multiplying that by 20 l 21 percent, and then adding back in the transient-dependent l l 22 population, because they would be arriving at the reception L L 23 centers. l 24 Those numbers vary for a reception center. The 25 larDest number of evacuee would be arriving at the Manchester ~7 /%J l Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888 C
i i i ' (~'\\- ?ANEL NO. 4 - CROSS 4765 V 1' reception center. Therefore, that number was used as the -4 2 planninD basis to determining the staffinU and~ equipment needs 3 for all four of the reception centers. 4 While that equates to 20 percent for the Manchester 5 reception center, it equates to some larger percentages for the 6 other reception centers. And in fact, the percentages worked' a ~7 out to about 25 percent of the total evacuee population can be. 8 monitored. So the intent of that guidance memo was followed. 9 The planning basis was a minimum of 20 percent. In actuality, i 10 that worked out to.somewhat more, and it's about 25 percent.. 11 -Q I would like to get an' answer to that.from Dr. 12
- Wallace, I understand your claim that it's conservatism for r~g 13 the non-Mancherster reception centers, Mr. Callendrello.
V 14 A (Wallace) What was your question again on that? 15 Q The testimony says that you ere assuming that 20 16 percent of the evacuees will be going to the reception centers, 17 and for that 20 percent refers to Attachment 1, which is the 18 FEMA memorandum for Mr. Krimm, which refers to using a minimum 19 20 percent figure. a l 20 And I guess I' m asking you, Dr. Wallace, as the 21 professional in charge of the Division of Public Health. 22 Services, are you comfortable with going with a 20 percent 23 figure and not a more conservative figure, a higher figure? 24 A (Wallace) I think as Mr. Callendrello was 25 indicating, we actually have -- on the basis of the ) I u l Heeitage ReportinD Corporation l (202) 628-4888 4 I

r 4 477E f 10-BMAR 1 BY MR. BACKUS: s 2 G Mr. Colburn, I have been asking you about your role i 3 in the questionnaire, and survey, but let me back up for a 1 4 minute. 5 You describe your title, in your resume, which was 6 marked here earlier, as coordinator of emergency services, for 7 New Hampshire Division of Human Services, Department of Health ) 8 and Human Services. 9 And what is the task of the coordinator of emergency j k 10 services, generally? { 1 11 A (Colburn) The functions that I am involved with in l la that capacity has to do with the role that the Department has (~; 13 in actually five different emergency response plans. It f V ] l 14 requires actually developing the plans for our role in theue 15 various programs, and preparing a core Droup of people to i 16 recpond to these needs, whenever they may arise. 17 Very briefly, in a nutshell, I guess that is what it { l .18 is. I l 19 Q Well, what are the emergencies that the emergency 20 services unit would normally be created for? 21 A (Colburn) Okay, the plans in which we have a part, i 22 are the first one that we ever became involved with is the ] 1 23 individual family grant program, which is a program, as the j 24 name implies, of providing grants to people who may be victims l l \\ ( 25 of various types of disasters; where there is a Presidential l i f 1 G l l .ieritage Reporting Corporation i (202) 628-4888 l l I L____ l
l l L i h 1 PANEL NO. 4 - CROSS 4779 y- ! i ' 1_1 i .1' declaration of disaster, such as we had this past sprang.- { l 2 That was actually the original impetus of this whole I 3 program, several years ago. !.l 4 Subsequent to that, we have had the addition of i 5 the -- of course the radiological emergency response plan, l l 6 first for Vermont Yankee and.tvow for Seabrook, t 7 We also have a role to play in emergency l l 8 repatriation. And we play a role in terms of relocating 4 .l 9 families in' instances of EPA cleanups in the State, of.which we 10 have had several. 11. And we have a plan for emergency food stamp 12 ' provisions which usually goes along particularly with the 7~N 13 individual and family grant pr ogram. So that these are five k 14 plans of which we play a part, and my job is to try to make 15 sure that we are ready to play that part. 16 Q Okay, now, the emergency se rvices unit, in the 17 division, is that a voluntary organization? 18 'A (Colburn) Yes, it is. 19 Q So that all of the people that are members of the 20 emergency services unit have other line responsibilities within '21 the agency and then they volunteer to do these emergency tasks, 22 is that ri Dht? 23 A (Colburn) That is correct, this is additional 24 responsibility. 25 Q Okay. Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888 b
4 l r 1 i l PANEL NO. 4 - CROSS 478C j ~ (2) .1 . Now, your memorandum of February 6th, that I was l I. 2 getting to just before the break, indicates that you needed 1 3 assistance in determining the reason why more staff are j 4 volunteering Lto part icipate in emergency service units, is that 1 I 5 right?' l 6 A (Colburn) The purpose of the survey was simply to 1 7 try and determine why more people were not volunteering for 8 these particular units. 9 Q Do.I take it, that as of the time that you sent out 10 this memorandum that your staffing rosters for these volunteers 11 were low? 12 A (Colburn) It is not that they were low, it is just 13 as people come and go, it was a little more difficult to obtain 14 replacements, or find replacements, although we did, in fact, 15 maintain our numbers, and there were some units in some of the 16 district offices, that I would have preferred to have a larger 17 unit, than, in fact, was present. 18 O Now, the memorandum makes reference to the fact that 19 you were sending out to all taff, a survey questionnaire, is 20 that correct? 21 A (Colburn) The questionnaire was made available to 22 all staff, who are part of three divisions -- the Division of 23 Human Services, the Division of Children and Youth Services, 24 and the Division of Elderly and Adult Services.

It was not distributed in the state offices.~ 7 '(Witness is proffered document.) 8. Q We have placed in front of you, and have also served 9 to the Board and the parties, a copy of the February 6th 10. memorandum that[I have been talking about, to which is.also 11 attached, another memorandum dated January 20th, and a two page 12 emergency services questionnaire. 13 Is that emergency questionnaire that is attached, the ~ 14 one that is referred to in your memorandum of February 6th?- y.. 15 A -(Colburn) Yes, it is. 16 Q And did you, in fact, get responses to that 17 questionnaire and tally them? 18 A (Colburn) Yes, I did. 19 Q And let me now furnish to you a document, which we 20 were also provided, it 'looks like a computer printout, and . 21 saying survey WK-1-on the upper left-hand part of the page. 22 (Witness is proffered document and examines it.) i 23 BY MR.

1 PANEL NO. 4 - CROSS 4782 &g - ' l 1 A-(Colburn) It is a tally.of. some of' the. responses, 2' not all of them. 3 G And is there a:more complete tally that'would.tell us l 4 what personnel.you have in these emerDency scervices unit, or 5 have agreed.to perform? 6- .A (Colburn) Maybe I should clarify that what.I meant 7 to say is that it ~ is a tally of some of the:., questions that were 8-asked and the responses to those questions. ) 9 It is not a. tally, obviously, of every question that { 10' was asked. I 11 D-Okay. d I 12 Now, over on the left-hand column on this sheet,Lif I 1 13-am correct in interpreting this, is a column saying, how many d 14-people are members or not members of the emergency services 15 units, is that correct? j ] 16 A -(Colburn) In the left-hand column? l 17 Q I am sorry, the right-hand column. ~ l 18 A (Colburn) Yes, on the far right, it identifies of , ] 19 the respondents, 'how many were members, were currently members ] dO of the unit, as opposed to those who were not. 21 Q And is it correct, that as of the time that'the { l i 22 survey was returned, that 33 of the employees were members and l l 23 119 were not? 24 A (Colburn) Of the respondents to the questionnaire, j, 25 33 of the respondents, at that time, indicated that they were l. l I l 1 Heritage Reporting Corporation h (202) 628-4888 l l
i a s .g. PANEL NO. 4 - CROSS '4780 ~ ' 1 members. 2' Q-Okay. .3 And then there is another column that says, should 4 train /not: train, what does that mean? 5 A (Colburn) T h a+- is in response to the question'on the 6 survey which is on page 2, where the statement was'made, I 7 'believe~that the Department etc., should: train staff.for the 8 tasks that they are assigned to ful#ill during. declared 9 emergencies, and disasters, yes, or no. 10 0 And'then the next column, moving to the right, is 4 11-willing/not willing. 12 I take it'that that is willing or not willing to 13 volunteer for the emergency service units? 14 A (Colburn) Again, that is'in response'to a statement-15 on page 1, which ways, I am willing to volunteer my services to ] 16 assist victims of any disasters, yes, or no. 17 Q Referring to page'1 of the emerpancy services 18 questionnaire, you did offer your the people being surveyed, 19 the choice of responding to particular types of disastues? 20 A (Colburn) As f ar - which statement are you l 21 referring to there, because there are a couple that you might f 22 be referring to, I am not sure?- I 23 Are you talking to the very outset? { 24 0 Yes, I am. f . 25 A (Colburn) That list of disasters?

If I indicated 11 otherwise, I stand corrected. That is the quest' ion to which 12 that tally responds. 13-Q And what is the figure? O> / 14 A (Colburn) The figure on the respondents, the actual' 15 number was 97, and percentagewise, it was 57.2% of the 16 respondents, which indicated that they were willing to do'so. 17 Q And in terms of raw numbers, what is the fiDure? 18 A (Colourn) In terms of raw numbers, if I can read 19. this correctly, I believe that'it is 97. It looks like 97 20 here. 21 Q I think that it may be 87. ~22 A (Colburn) Well, could be the figure is not that 23 clear here. 24 Q Now, you also prepared I take it, or had prepared a 25 pie chart, showing reasons for not participating in emergency l () l Heritage Reporting Corporation l (202)-628-4888 l l m___________.____________i

q { PANEL NO. 4 - CROSS 478E { 1 in the ESUSs, said that it was because of the~1ack of-1 I 2 information about the program. D 3 Q. Yes, but was there any other type of disaster.that 4 people specified that they would not choose.to respond,,other I 5 than a radiological disaster? j 1 6 A (Colburn) There were a few - toxic chemical spills, 't 7 and in some cases, of course, in a few cases, they included-1 l 8 accidents at Pease' Air Force Base, and Portumouth Navy Yard. ~j 9 O' In fact, I take it, Mr. Colburn, that the only actual ] 10' type of emergency that you specifically directed a question to, I it where you got a significant negative response, was-a. 12 radiological emergency, is that a fair statement? 13 MR. BISBEE: Objection, Your Honor. 14 Are we referring-to the pie chart? 15 I f so, I think that the pie chart relates to why 16 people are not participating in the emergency services unit. 1 17 There is a difference from that question and the question, 18 generally about responding to emergencies. 19 It is unclear to me, which question the question that 20 Mr. Backus has just posed, refers to. 4 21 MR. BACKUS: Well, actually, Mr. Bisbee, I was 22 referring not to the pie chart, but to the questionnaire -23 compilation, dated as of March 6, 1987, where there is a ] 24 heading, reasons for not volunteering to serve in ESU's, and as l 25 I read it, there are non-Seabrook reasons and Seabrcok reasons, i l ,C, ) Heritage Reporting Corporation (- (202) 628-4888

14 0 I asked you, am I correct that the only reasons for { 15 not volunteering to serve in the emergency services unit, that f 16 were disaster related, was because of Seabrook? 17 A (Colburn) Well, what this compilation does is to try 18 to identify what the various reasons were for not volunteering ] 19 to serve the ESU'u, and Seabrook was, obviously, one of those 20 factors. i 21 O Okay. i 1 22 And if we turn again to the computer printout, marked 23 survey WK-1, and does this tell us anywhere how many people 24 were actually added to the emergency survices unit, as a result 25 of this questionnaire, and any fol' low-up? {0 1 Heritage Reporting Corporation l (202) 628-4888 4

But another 471 19 may well include those. So I think it has some bearing on the g, 20 issue of the numbers. 21 JUDGE SMITH: The numbers don' t mean anything if they 22 are just floating around without some relationship to claim f-23 totals, and,just to say that a certain number would not respond i( A 24 doesn' t tell us anything.

OLESKEY: Since we discussed earlier-in the 1 E 5 afternoon the schedule for the arguments for tomorrow, two 6 matters came up which le&d me to broach with you putting off 7 the arguments for a couple of days. i 8 First of all, one of my colleagues, Assistant J 9 Attorney' General Sneider arrived with some materials-that she l 10 had received on Friday,.which I.had not seen and which'she and il l'had not had'a chance to discuss, which deal with the NRC's s 12 dose consideration and perspective, which is obviously very 13 Dermane to the Sholley-Deyea testimony. 14 And also would.it appear, from what I saw this 15 afternoon in reviewing it with her, as'we sat here, to bear on-16 the discussion at page 27, from the text of the rules 17 consideration which Attorney Turk referred to, the reference to 18 the extent to which the NRC deals with dose considerations at 19 all. 20 And we could not, in all candor, sit here and write 21 anything additional this afternoon, based on this material. 22 And I think that since we only appear to have received from the C3 NRC partial material, which does not fully identify the i 24 documents, to the extent that I would like, if we handed them 25 in, we may have to do something tomorrow from our office to try l-l Heritage Reporting Corporation (202) 628-4888
