Background

Thel Tederal Emergency Managemen: Agency (TEMA)- has received a number of inquiries concerning more detailed opert-lonal guidance for evacuation planning. Plan and procedure reviews and post exercise assessments by i l Radiological Assistance Committees and FIMA Regional Direc: ors note many problems associated with evacuacion preparedness including 1nadequate maps, lack of preparation for the evacuation of the handicapped, transient and f oreign language speaking, non-cooperating bus drivers and bus companies, In the Atomic Safety'and Licensing Board (ASL3) hearings, :he difficul:1es etc. of evacua: ion are f requently ' dramatized by interveners and p'roo! : hat local governments are prepared for effective evacuation is nocireadily available. Even though evacuation is only one of several options available for protective l action, it is a equirement for each community in the plume exposure E=ergency Planning Zone (I?:) of a nuclear power plant to have an evacuation plan. Unless a plan has been developed and'ad leas: partially tested, evacuation cannot be activated as promptly and ef fec:ively as any be necessary. Evacuation planning must be done on the basis of a range of possible accidents that say require only a ring, a sec:or, or the entire E?2 to be evacuated. l 1 A range of possible environmental condi:1ons and daily and seasonable transport pat: erns will have to be assu=ed. 1 It is also important to know the time period ne:essary to ef f ec:uate a partial or complete evacuation. Taced wi:h the decision whether':o shel:er or evacuate, authori:les sust compare the time period predicted for release of gaseous and particulate asterial wi:h the time needed f or evacuation. Unless evacuation can precede the release, the public asy be exposed :o higher doses of radiation in their cars than 'they would have been in base =ents or other sFelters. TEMA issued RIP-3, " Dynamic Evacuation Analysis: Independent Assessments of Ivacuation Times from the Plume Exposure Pathvay Emergency Planning Zones of Twelve Nuclear Power Stations" in order to assist with evacuation time estimates. The report deals wi:h resetor s!(es surrounded by high population denst:y and concludas that evacuatie.n times are highly sensi:ive to environmental conditions and to local government po lici e s.

. TEMA is in the process of acquiring the technology for performing -computerized evacuatici simulations :hrough the Exe rcise Evaluation and Simulacion Facility (EEST). This technology v111 ' be made available to Scace and local govern = ends and will go a long way towards _ improving and evaluating evacuacion plans. Guidance The scandards and acceptance cri:eria outlined below are based on NURIC-0654/ TEMAREP-1, Rev. 1, vi:5 additional evacuation-specific criteria from other documents. I: is addressed to one or more local governments vi:h the Scace playing a guiding and assisting role. The information provided is divided in:o eigh: units, each broken down into a generic planning standard and a listing of the applicable evalua: ion criteria from NURIG-0654/TEMA-RI? 1, Rev. 1. + Emergency planners may meet the evacuation planning standards and acceptance criteria chrough a variety of approaches: 1. .The evacuacion plan say be incorporated into existing radiological emergency preparedness plans. ~ 2. The o acua: ion plaa may be added as a separate cnnex to an existing generic emergency plan. 3. A separate evacuation plan may be developed, providing as a =ini=u=: a. Scacemen: of purpose; b.

Guidance Memorandum 24 { Acril 5, 1984 l Technological Hazards I RADIOLOGIC 5L EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOR HANDICAPPED PERSONS j 1 I Purcose This Guidance Memorandum supplernents and expands upon existing guidance in MUREG-0654/FIMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, relating to the protection and safety of handicapped persons in radiological emergencies.

1 Background

Recent progress in making public facilities accessible to handicapped persons, and in institutionalizing the more severely handicapped, has increased the need for greater ef forts during emergencies ta ensure the safety of the people with disabilities. Handicapped persons can now be J found throughout the general population in stheols, private homes, offices, industries, jails, day care and senior centers, etc. Even though they are apt to be costly and, therefore, controversial, the following fundamental premises regarding handicapped people and emeigency preparedness have l been adopted: l Handicapped individuals have a right to prot e? tion in emergencies; Some handicapped individuals have speciali:eo neds in emergencies; and Emergency preparedness activities should recognize those needs and plan actions that promote participation. } i While it may seem natural to view 'the handicapped' as a totality, they { are not a homogeneous group. In f act, the dif ferences between handicapped ] individuals are probably greater than their similarities. The capabilities i and limitations of handicapped persons vary, including functional characteristics needed to cope with an emergency. l To address this issue, it is necessary to view handicaJs as part of three l major types, each of wnich has its own speciali:ed meegency preparedness i 9quirements: o Sensory Impairments: deaf and hearing impaired blind and visually impaired. o Movement Impairments: loss of normal mobility ranging from one who ases crutches to the quadriplegic wno requires a wheelchair and special vehicle for movement in an emergency frail elderly persons life-support-system hindered. c Ment al/ Emotional Impairments retarded emotionally disturbed senile extreme alcoholic / drug-abuse cases.

8 We must also keep in mind that some persons may'have more than one disability. For instance, any handicapped person may also have special dietary or medication regairements. The needs of each handicap type will vary depending upon the particular planning and preparedness standard being addressed. NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, REY.1, provides general guidance for handicapped persons at: I I - Standard G, Public Education and Information, G-id, which state; l that the "special needs of the handicapped" should be recognized in the coordinated periodic dissemination of information to the public on how they will be notified and what their actions should be in an emergency; and - Standard J, Protective Response, J-10c and d, which requires that the State and local governments include in their plans "means for notifying and protecting those persons whose aobility may be impaired due to f actors such as iristitutional or other confinement." The section which follows expands upon this general guidance. It outlines four planning and preparedness factors which should be part of any State and local plans, procedures and preparedness programs to ensure that handicapped persons are notified and can adequately respond.to a radiological energency: I. Identification of Handicapped Popriations; II. Public Education and Information, III. Notification Methods and Procedures; and IV. Protective Response. These guidelines are provided for use during your review of plans submitted for 44 CFR 350 approval. The guidelines for each factor are followed by a discussion of salient considerations, j \\ l l Guidance I. Identification of Handicapped Populations i Guidelines A means to systematically identify individuals within the plume exposure pathway emergency planning :one (EPZ) is established and maintained. The security of acquirec information is assured. Functional characteristics nece;sary to cope with a radiological energency are determined for those i dert i fi ed. Individuals and organi:ations capable of assisting and the type of assistance required are determined The accuracy of the data is periodically validated. This data base is integrated with the planning process and reflected in the plans and procedures. Di scus si on Systematic identification of handicapped individuals located within the EPI around nuclear power plants is the first major step in radiological i h

- emergency preparedness (RE?) planning for the handicapped. Thi s, will provide planners and decisionmakers with information neces sary to determine adequate manpower, the level of services required, how to manage emergency operations, snd the types of response necessary. All compiled data should be kept confidential in order not to ccepromise the privacy and security of handicapped persons who generally desire anonymity. Data identifying locations cf stationary handicapped individuals 1ll be necessary as a basis for developing protective response plans. Indi vi dual s ' " functional" characteristics neeced to cope with radiological emergencies, including these requiring special notification but at e to take independent action, will be taken into account in developing an appropriate array of protective actions. The data gathering ef fort should also focus upon identifying individuals willing and capable of assisting handicapped persons and the type of assistance required, should such a situation arise. This ef fort will also serve to identify people resources within the handicapped community who may be utilized in the development, review, and exercise of RE? plans for the handicapped. Sources of help in compiling the data include: - Responses from mailings to EPZ residents. Handicapped persons have generally responded to of fers for. help included in Emergency Public Information brochures containing' a separate section with the heading "If You Have Specigl Needs." A detachable self-addressed postcard by which residents can register needs for special assistance has proved successful; - Welfare or social agencies, which have a list of recipients of their se' vices. (Normally this information is covered uncer the e Freedom of Infomation Act); - Religious,' fraternal, sororal, and service organi:ations; - Voluntary and non profit organizations, such as the Merican National Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and others. This information may already exist in their files resulting from previous assistance in emergencies; - National organizations for different groups of handicapped individuals, such as N.ational Federation of the Blind, National Association of the Deaf'," Council of Organizations Serving the Deaf, Eastern Paraly:vd Veterans Association, Nntal Health Association, and National Paraplegic Foundation; e

i .4 . Fire serv [ce organizations, vnich have in many instances already provided action on behalf of handicapped persons for fire safety; and . Families and friends of handicapped persons. The Mnt exercise af fords an excellent opportunity to test the accuracy M many of-the data developed, tnrough a telephone chect, for example. II. Public Education and Information Guidelines Preparedness and self-protection information is related to and in a form useful to major handicap types. Ef forts are made to include handicapped persons in developing information. Instructional materials are developed for three groups: Handicapped persons, the general pubi tc, and emergency workers. Products are disseminated using methods and channels most i I likely to reach each group in the resident and transient population. Discussion i The most significant problem plaguing the preparedness for handicapped Three persons for emergency situations is a general lack of awareness. main groups should be targeted in developing instructional and educational materi al s: Handicapped people themselves, the general public, and emergency services personnel. Disabled persons, or persons responsible for them, need to be cognizant of the f act that they are vulnerable to a radiciagical emergency and learn how to pr'epare for and deal with the problem. The general public need to be acquainted with ways of assisting handicapped persons with appropriate protective responses. Emergency workers need to have the proper training in order to ef fectively and ef ficiently l handle emergency situations involving disabled people. A general awareness campaign should precede any intensive educational efforts. This will serve to alert handicapped persons that such an effor* is planned and tell them where they may go for further assistance. This may result in their active participation in developing more ef fective REP educational materials. It will also lay the foundation for the identification effort outlined in the preceding section. Conveying the information developed for each handicap type requires a methodo'egy related to specific handicap types. For example, hearing-impairec persons may be ef fectively reached through pantomime and demonstrations, literature, translation to signing, and captioned films. Visually-impai. ed people may be reached by large print, braille materials, audio casset*e tapes, and other audio media. The information and materials developed may be disseminated to tne public through a variety of channels including public and private scnools, special education organi:ations, fire service organizations, State, local and school groups for handicapped people, cocrnunity and church meetings, major employers, firms selling or renting medical supplies, and libraries, especially those serving handicapped individuals.

. III. Notification Methods and Procedures Gu' ilines Appropriate alert and notification ( A&N) systems, inc*uding hardware and interpersonal cocrnunication, are in place to provide information in i form useful to major handicap types identified. Methods for verifying warnings esist. The AAN system provides handicapped persons with directions for required actions. Arrangements for special notification and assistance for those requiring it are in place. Discussion Certain types of handicaps hinder an individual's ability to perceive, be alerted to, and evaluate an emergency situation. Current A&N systems fall short of meeting the needs of all handicapped types. Thus, multi-modal (auditory, visual, tactile, etc.) warning systems geared to particular handicap types may be warranted'and should be tested for effectiveness during exerci s es. Hearing-impaired persons, for example, will require redundant or supplementary warning, which might be accomplished through: - Public service announcement'ts conveyed on the TV screen by means of printed captions or trailer messages imprinted on the bottom of the screen--as in weather in. formation bulletins. -Such announcements can also be conveyed through an interpreter using si gning ; - Use of a telecccmunications device for the deaf (TDO) whereby vocal messages are communicated.in imprinted form; and/or - One-way or two-way personal communications devices such as tactile alarm watches, digital transmitters, transmitters triggered by hand devices, and tactile paging system; - A human network. In general, individuals with all types of handicaps should be part of a " buddy" system in which f amily, neignbors, building management, or caretakers personally convey the message. This is most important in States where emergency agency personnel is not autnorized to enter homes. It is especially important to have confirmation capabilities built into an A&N system fer handicapped persons. This ensures that the message has been r2ceived early enough to permit an appropriate protective response. Action by disabled individuals, especially those who are elderly, crn be slow. IV. Protective Respense Guidelines Protective action plans have been developed for all categories of handicapped individuals present in the EPZ and integrated int.o the general radiological emergency plan. Responsible and knowledgeable

.s. contacts to provida communication and physical assistance are identified for each handicapped individual. Agreements have becn made with ambulance, transportation companies, and van drivers to ef fectuate the transfer of tnese who need special transportation, and route instructions are provided. Special areas in reception centers have been set aside for the sensory and movement im' paired, the elderly and retarded, and registration, decontamination, and monitoring has been arranged for them. Agreements have been made with hospitals, mental hospitals, nursing homes, and cs73 unity montal health centers outside the EPZ to receive the severely novement impaired and emotionally handicapped. Discussion For handi. capped persons, as well as for the general population, protective actions ~ are either evacuation or sheltering. Evacuation consists of four phases:

1. preparation;

2. Travel;

3. Stay at Reception Center; and

4. Recovery / Reentry.

Sheltering is assumed to take pl.a(e in the building in.which handicapped persons find themselves at the time the incident occurs, be it at home, office, institution, store, or work place. The data gathered during the identification stage will help determine appropriate. approaches to achieving the required protective actions. Numoer and location of particular types of handicapped individuals will suggest the most cost effective methods to use. The Sensory Imoaired This group includes people with a variety of degrees of blindness and deafness. Once alerted and notified, such persons are capable of some self-protection. They can use normal means of transportation and may follow the guidance given to the general population. They do need, however, a responsible and knowledgeable contact person, a relative, neighbor, buddy, community volunteer, or responder agency employee to assist them pnysically and to keep them informed. Su~cn a contact may assist several handicapped persons as a group. Sensory impaired persons need a means of calling for assistance if required. i An alternate buddy or contact person should be available if the first contact is prevented from attending to them. Evacuation I for evacuation, some blind persons may need assistance with packing necessities Inc provisions for their guide dog, if one is owned, with egress from buildings, with entering unf amiliar venicles and unf amiliar reception centers. Caaf persons will need someone to canmunicate with thern by writing and/or by l signing throughout all four phases of the evacuation. l l l

.?. Shelter For sheltering, some blind persons may need a responsible contact to make sure windows and ventilators are closed and a wet cloth is being used for respiratory protection, j Deaf persons will need a contact person to keep them informed of emergency broadcast system (!35) messages. If TV stations are repening ESS nessages ty signing or captions, this assistance may be unnecessary. Mobility Impaired Persons This group includes the frail elderly, people on crutches and walkers, in wheel chairs, on stretchers, and on life support systems. This group is alert, f but slow or unable to respond by themselves. They must overcome barrives in buildings, such as steps and narrow doors. Assistance on a onedo-one ratio is necessary to permit some mobility impaired persons to join l with the general population in following ESS instructions. 1 Evacuation Hobility impaired persons should be alerted and prepared for evacuation as early For as possible, because moving them is slow and sometimes complicated. egress from high rise buildings, an elevator should be reserved for them. The more seriously impaired people must travel in ambulances or vans with special lifts. If.possible, they should be taken to a reception center providing an access ramp and wide shower and toilet stalls. The less seriously l disabled can share reception center space with the general population r or can have a special area set aside for them. People on stretchers and life supprrt systems must be taken to hospitals outside the EP% with which prior arrangements have been made. If possible, their responsible contact should remain with them and look af ter their welf are throughout l their stay and the return trip. Shelter If given a choice, mobility impaired persons may prefer to be sheltered in their own homes or at work rather than undergo the strain of evacuation. In this case, the responsible contact will only check on closure of windows and ventilators and on respiratory protection, evsrythirig else bMng routine for mobility impaired people. If authorized by the State hwalth Department, potassium idodide tablets (KI) will be made available. Nntally and Emotionally Imoaired Perso s l l This group includes the retarded, senile persons, deinstitutionalized street people, emotionally disturbed persons, alcoholics, and drug abuse They may live in their own homes, in halfway houses, in corvnunity cases. mental health centers, on the street, or may be temporarily hospitali:ed. Many of these individuals are on tranquilizing medications. They may be more or less functional at different times. Ev acuati on Functional individuals may need very little assistance by their responsible i contact persons, and may join the general population in all four phases.

. 1 l The non-funct'ional and emotionally disturbed wiil need the assistance of trained staff on a one-to-one or other appropriate ratio. Necessities, medicati ons, and records should be taken along. The mentally and emotionally disturbed can travel in ordinary cars and buses. Severe cases may need to be. restrained. At the reception center, a speciai area should be set aside for registration, monitoring, and decontamination of the mentally and emotionally disturbed and for their maintenance, where staf f can exercise appropriate supervision and control, and can administer medication.. Agreements to receive a specific numoer of individuals should be made with mental f acilities outside the EPI, to accommodate non-functional severe cases. Responsible staff snould remain with their charges throughout the reception and recovery / reentry phases. Shelter If given a choice, sheltering mentally and emotionally impaired persons in their customary surroundings may be preferable. The responsible contact will perform or supervise the required protective actions,- such as closing of windows and ventilation grilles and.providing respiratory protection. If authorized by tne State Health Department, potassium' iodide - tablets (XI) will.be made available. 9 6 l r .____._j

SUBJECT:

Guidance Memoranda, EX-1 Remedial Exercises and EX-2 ) Staff Support in Evaluacing RE? Exerc;ses t Guidance Memoranda (GM). EX-1 Remedial Exercises and EX-2 Staf f Support in Evaluating REP Exercises, are herewith transmitted for your implementation. The policy and procedures set forth in these GM's were developed througn the cooperative efforts of Federal.tergency Management Agency (FEMA) and l Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Headquarters staff and FEMA's Regional l Offices. The GM's are operative for exercises held on or after July 15, 1985. j l 1 l GM EX-1 has been aporoved for use by the NRC Commissioners and, except for i . one change, is similar to the final draft copy which was provided to you for review and comment on May 17, 1985. The change was made to the second level of exercises inadequacies, i.e., " areas requiring corrective actions'" replaces " areas requi ring improvement." The terminology to be incorporated in your exercise evaluations now reads:

1) deficiencies, 2) areas requiring correc-l tive actions and 3) areas recomended for improvement.

See my memorandum of May 17, 1985, for reference or fur *her details. It is my belief that the consultation process will accelerate the evaluation process especially in the matter of determining wnich are " deficiencies" ano wnich are " areas requiring correct.ive actions " The summary table of exercise inadequacies will be discussed during the consultation process with the identification of the type of corrective actions necessitated by tne classi-fication of exercise inadequacies. Specifically, " deficiencies" warrant immediate remedial action and " areas requiring corrective actions" will have to be addressed during the next biennial exercise. Tour assistance and cooperation in developing these important GM's is appreci ated. Any questions concerning the implementation of these GM's should be directed to Bill McNutt at 646-2857.

Washinpon, D.C. 20472 July 15, 1985 l GUIDANCE MEMORANDUN EX-1 REMEDIAL EXERCISES Purpose This Guidance Memorandum provides criteria and procedures for requiring and scheduling remedi'ai exercises and other remedial actions to correct deficiencies l identified in exercises to test State and local radiological emergency response plans. It also provides guidance for determining the extent of participation in resedi al exerci ses.

Background

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rule, 44 CFR 350, ard the Nuclear Regulatory Cocmission (NRC) rule,10 CFR 50, Appendix E, require State and loca* governments participate in periodic, joint exercises that with utilities. These rules require remedial exercises and other corrective j measures if the results of these exercises do not give reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency or the deficiencies identified are significant enough to imoact on the public health and safety. The NRC rule (10 CFR 50, Ap'pendix E, IV.f.d.) calls for NRC-FIMA consultation in making a determination as to whether a remedial exercise is needed. The FEFA rule (44 CFR 350.9.c.5) leaves the determination of the participation required from State and local governments to the appropriate FEMA Regional Director. For the purpose of exercise assessment, FEMA uses an evalation nethod to apply the criteria of NUREG-0654/FEPA-rep.1.* FEMA classifies exercise inadequacies as deficiencies or areas requiring corrective actions. Deficiencies are demonstrated and observed inadequacies that would cause a finc;ng :nat offsite 1 emergency preparedness was not adequate to provide reasonable assurance tnat appropriate protective measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power f acility in the event of radiological emergency. Because of the potential impact of deficiencies on emergency preparedness, they are required to be promptly corrected through appropriate remedial actions including remedial exercises, drills or other actions. Areas recuiring corrective actions are demonstrated'and observec j inadequacies of State ano local government performance, and althougn their i correction is required during the next scheduled biennial exercise, they are l not considered, by themselves, to adversely impact public health and safety. l In addition to these inadequacies, FEMA identifies areas recoceended for 1

The FEMA Regional Of fice will imediately notify FEMA Headquarters, by telephone, of the nature of exercise inadequacies. FEMA Headquarters will, in turn, notify and discuss these inadequacies with NRC Headquarters. The FEMA Regional Office will promotly initiate a consultation process 2. with the members of the Regional Assistance Committee (s) (RAC), the State (s) and FEMA Headquarters for these purposes: (a) To classiff I all exercise inadequacies, (b) to specify appropriate remedial actions. including remedial exercises, drills, or other actions, for both l deficiencies and areas requiring corrective actions and (c) to determine f wftich organizations are to be involved in remedial actions. During l this period, FEMA Headquarters will continue to consult with NRC Headquarters. j l

i 3 Within 30 days of the exercise. the FEMA Region will transmit a letter and draft report consisting of, at least..a summary table of the 3. exercise inadequacies _to the State (s) with a copy to FEMA Headquarters The letter and summary table will confirm the results and the RAC(s). of the consultations with the State (s). The State will be. asked to' 2 use this letter and summary table of exercise inadequacies _as a basis for working with the FEMA Region in accomplishing the remedial actions. Within 60 days from the exercise, the FEMA Region will prepare and transmit copies of the exercise report to the State (s), RAC(s) and FEMA-4 If the remedial exercise or other remedial actions have'been taken and evaluated prior to the end of the 60 day period, the He adqua rt ers. FEMA Region will incorporate its evaluation of these actions witnin the exercise report.

SUBJECT:

Guidance Memoranda, EX-1 Remedial Exercises and Ex-2 Staff Suecort in Evaluatino RED Exercises l i l Gujdance Memoranda (GM), EX-1 Remedial Exercises and EX-2 Staf f Support l in Evaluating REP Exercises, are herewith transmitted for your implementation. l The policy and procedures set forth in these GM's were developed througn the cooperative ef forts of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and l Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Headquarters staf f and FEMN s Regional Offices. The GM's are operative for exercises held on or after July 15, 1985. GM EX-1 has been approved for use by the NRC Commissieriers and, except for one change, is similar to the final draft copy which was provided to you for l review and comment on May 17, 1985. The change was made to the second level l of exercises inadequacies, i.e., " areas requiring corrective actions" reolaces " areas requiring improvement." The terminology to be incorporated in your l exercise evaluations now reads:

1) deficiencies, 2) areas regt. iring correc-l tive actions and 3) areas recommended for improvement.

See my memorancum of May 17, 1985, for reference or further details. 'It is my belief that tne consultation process will accelerate the evaluation process especially in the matter of determining which are " deficiencies" and which are " areas requiring corrective actions." The sugnary taole' of exercise inadequacies will be discussed during the consultation process with the identification of the type of corrective actions necessitated by the classi-fication of exercise inadequacies. Specifically, " deficiencies" warrant immediate remecial action anc " areas requiring corrective actions" will have to be addressed during the next biennial exercise. Your assistance and cooperation in developing these imoortant GM's is appreciated. Any questions concerning the implementation of these GM's should be directed to Bill McNutt at 646-2857.

L A 'h ( [g Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 204TZ July 15, 1985 GUID'ANCE MEMORANDUM EX-2 STAFF SUPPORT IN EVALUATING REP EXERCISES i Purcose The purpose of this Guidance Wemorandum is to set guidelines on the use of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEFA) and other Federal staff resources and travel funds for assisting State and local governments in preparation for and evaluation of radiological emergency preparedness (REP) exercises.

Background

The allocation and use of Regional Of fice resources, i.e., staf f time and travel funds, in support of REP exercises for cocr:ercial nuclear power facilities is primarily dependent upon regulatory requirements. FIFA rule, 44 CFR 350, requires full participation by State and local governments in REP exercises. A major reason for adopting the biennial frequency was to lessen the demand for Federal, State and local resources required to assist and support the conduct and evaluation of REP exercises. However, some Sta'te and local governments will continue on an annual exercise scheoule because of State l'aw or a policy decision to do so or to satisfy a request by the licensee. The Nuclear Regulatory C m ission (NRC) rule,10 CFR 50, also requires participation of State and local governments with utilities in REP exercises including those conducted on a biennial frequency. Guidance A. Ranking of Exercise Evaluation priorities The following list by priority ranking shculd govern the us'e of FEMA Regional Of fice and other Federal regional resources observing and evaluating State and local participation in exercises. 1. Exercises required pursuant to 44 CFR 350, including those conducted for initial and continued 350 approval and site-specific State and local full participation exercises required pursuant to 10 CFR 50 for the NRC licensing process. Exercise requirements.under 10 CFR 50 include the need for an exercise to be conducted and eval'uated one year prior to the issuance of a license for full-power operation of a plant. Regional staf f should be prepared to assist and support the conduct and evaluation of such exercises to expedite licensing considerations. 2. Remedial exercises in connection with item 1 above per 44 CFR 350. 3. Drills required by NUREG-0654/FEWA-REP-1 for State and/or local ( governments. These include cmunications, medical emergency radiological monitoring and health physics drills.

f I 2 4 Annual exercises in which the State and/or local government desire to exercise more frequently than biennially or which consent to participate with utilities in their annual exercises. B. Exercises Not Recuired by FEMA and NRC Rules The following guidance is provided to address the use of FIFA resources for exercises not required by the FEMA and NRC rules. 1. khen the availability of Federal resources is not a problem, these resources should be offered to State and local governments that participate j in esercises beyond the minimum biennial frequency required by FEMA regulation, The degree of FEPA Regional Of.fice and other iederal regional staf f assistance and support for any additional exercise should be related to the level of par:#' ipation of the participants, i.e., full or partial. This assistance and support should be e'ssentially the same as that provided for a scheduled biennial frequency exercise. 2. hhen Regional Office and other Federal regional resources are limited but suf ficient to provide scee assistance and succort in exercises, such assistance and support shoula De offered to State anc local governments. It could consist of performing minimum observation and evaluation roles at only primary locations (e.g., the State Emergency Operations Center (ECC), j local EOC, the joint information center or the State Health Agency). No post-exercise briefings or meetings would be required although the Regional assistance C:mittee (RAC) Chairman could assist if the State decides to i l hold them. Any exercise evaluation report would be confined to a succary table of inadequacies and suggestions for improving them. In any event, Federal assistance / observation / evaluation would be provided only if requested by the State.

3. When FEMA Regional Of fice and other Federal regional resources are not available to assist and support acditional exercises, the Regional Director shall so inform the appropriate State and local autttorities and FEMA Head;uarters.

C. Allocation of Staf f Resources Regional Directors should allocate staf f resources in support of REP exercises according to the priority ranking ir, section A above. FEMA Regional Of fice observer / evaluator requirements are to be reflected in Regional Wort Plans. The use of ooservers/ evaluators from other Federal agencies represented on the RAC should be determined and planned, to the extent possible, so that resources for exercises can be allocated t; roughout the fiscal year.

l' gh . Federal Emergency Management Agency 2h."5F Wuhington, D.C. 20472 OCT l 565 GUIDANCE MEMORANDUM PR-1 l POLICY ON NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1 AND 44 CFR 350 PER100!C REQUIREMENTS Purcose This Guidance Memorandum (GM) provides interpretation and clarification of requirements contained in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rule, 44 CFR 350, and NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, related to periodic planning and exercise activities and other requirements af fected by the biennial exercise frequency and otner RED program emphases.

Background

With the publication cf the final FEMA rule, 44 CFR 350, on Septemoer 28, 1983, ) and the the Nuclear Regulatory Ccemission (NRC) final regulation,10 CFR 50,. .l on July 6, 1984, it has become necessary to clarify some of the requirements j contained in these rules and our common guidance criteria document, NUREG-Oes: { / FEMA-REP-1. Also, as we ve approaching the fif th year of the implementation j of our joint (NRC/ FEMA) radiological emergency preparedness (REP) program, j it is appropriate to highlight and clarify requirements related to periccic assessments, especially those made in the fifth and sixth year of a State's REP program. Guidance j l The changes and program emphases related to the referenced planning standares and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0554/ FEMA-RE?-1 and 44 CFR 350 are accressed to State and local governments and to Federal reviewers of plans and prepared-ness. This guidance is divided into three sections. Section A contains planning standards, evaluation criteria and other REP program requirements that have been revised and/or clarified to facilitate compliance. Section 3 includes those which remain unchanged but are highlighted here to ensure completion and compliance. Section C describes the Annual Letter of Certification wnich is submitted by the State to the FEMA Regional Director documenting actions taken on the requirements presented in sections A and 3. SECTION A: THE FOLLOWING EVALUATION CRITERIA INCLUDE CHANGES FROM EXISTING REQUIREMENTS PLANNING STANDARDS AND EVALUATION CRITERION N. Exercises and Orills Planning Standard Periodic exercises are (will be) conducted to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities, periodic drills are (will be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a' result of exercises and drills art (will be) corrected. ( NUREG-0654/ FEMA-R EP-1, p.71). j

- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ) i N.1.b. Evaluation Criterion An exercise shall include mobilization of State and local pertonnel and resources adequate to verify the capacility to respond to an accident I scenario requiring' response. The organization shall provide for a critique of tne biennal ed' exercise by Federal and State oeservers/ evaluators. The scenario snould be varied from exercise to exercise,. sucn ~ 3.. that the major elements of tne plans ano preparedness organizations are tested within a si x-ye ar :.:r period. Each organi zation should make provisions to start an exercise between 5:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. 5:: ;.m 2-d ' tr ';M, :-d : et t i n _ce- 'dr4;-* : n 5 ; : -a.,.a., once every six Exercises should be conducted during dif ferent seasons of tne year years. At within a six-year period for exercising under various weatner cono1tions. least one exercise over a ceriod of six years 007: ::: :' m should be j l unannounced. Areas of Review Evaluation criterion, N.1.b., addresses several periodic exercise requirements. All of these requirements are modi fied. The most important change is to permit tne testing of major planning and preparedness elements within a six ratner l than five-year period. All of the remaining exercise requireunts are placed within this six-year period. l l Attendant Criteria l In addition to meeting specific exercise requirements, State and local l l 1 governments should meet tne following requirements: I 1 l 1. For those requirements related to the six-year compliance ceriod for l selected exercise activities delineated in N.1.b. aeove, the six-year { period ccmmences with the date of the first joint (utility and State l and. local governments) exercise conducted after Novemoer 3,1980, tre effective date of tne Nuclear Regulatory Commission Final Regulations on Emergency Planning,10 CFR Part 50 ( Appendix E) (45 FR 55410 August 19, 1980). For example, if the date of the first joint exercise was March 23, 1981, the end of the six-year period is. war:h 23, 1987 All of the major elements are to be tested witnin ne six-year period I on a site-specific basis except for ingestion-related elements as t9e testing of such elements is not tied to a particular sit.e for State governments. (See Attendant Criteria 3 below.) 2. Scanarios for periodic exercises should be suf ficiently varied so tnat all of the major elements of the plans and preparedness of of f site organizations are tested within a six-year period. The major elements of plans and preparedness are incorporated in the 35 exercise cojectives contained in the August 5,1983, memorancum: " Procedural Policy on l Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan Reviews, Exercise Observations and Evaluations, and Interim Findings." 3. Imol i ci t in evaluation criteri:n, N.1.b., is the requirement for each State wnich has a nuclear cower clant within its borders to fully

To nigniignt enanges to criteria in NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, the new language is underlined and the old language is lined through.

- _ _ _ - _ _ - - exercise its plans and preparedness related to ingestion exposure pathway measures at least once every six years in conjunction witn a plume exposure pathway exercise for some site '"

N: c'M.

.Thi s requirement is reflected in the 35 exercise cojec:ives and is presented in 44 CFR 350.9(c)(4). Each State witn ingestion exposure pathway responsibilities for two or more sites located wi:nin its borders will fully participate at some si:e on a rotationai casts and partially participate at the other sites once every six years. A State which has ingestion related responsibilities for a site (s) located within its borders and wnich is also within the 50-mile ingestion exposure pathway of a site (s) located in a bordering State (s), shall cartially. participate in all of :ne inges: 1on related exercises for those bordering State site (s). For those States that do not have a power plant located in its borders, out are located within the 50-mile Energency olanning Zone of a nor:ering State's power plant, they should fully participate in at leas: one exercise over a six-year period and partially participate in all otners. These ingestion-related requirements represent revisi'on of provisions contained in both NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1 and 44 CFR 350.9(c)(4). 4 The ' definition of full participation in inges:f on aspects of e' er:ises x is guided by 44 CFR 350.2(j). Since local governmen:s are no: usually required to develop and tes: ingestion plans and preparedness, Sta:e officials would be the emergency personnel primarily involved in :re ingestion portion of exercises. However, in some States, Iocal governments have responsibilities tnat require Oneir partici:a: ion :n such exercises. The numoer and' function of personnel needed snould ce sdf ficient for carrying out all those ingestion measures :na: are necessitated by a particular accident scenario. Also, organi:a: ions fully participating in the inges:f on portion of an exercise shoul: deploy field teams to secure and analy:e media samples as recuired :y ne accident scenario. 5. The definition of partial participation in inges:f on aspects of exerci ses is guiced by 44 CFR 350.2(k). A s s.:a t ed in i:em 4 above, State offi:t is would be the emergency personnel primarily involved in :ne inges: ion portion of exercises. The numoer and function of State ersonnel neeced snould be deteriined on :ne basis of veri fying capabilities for carrying out the foll0 wing responsibilities: Direction and conte:1 anc relatec communications for protective action decisionmaking and dissemina:icn of emergency information to appropriate individuals, groups and re general public. Organi:ations partially participating in :he ingestion portion of an exercise will not have to deploy field teams to secure and analyze media samples as such sections can be simulated. 5. Offrite organizations should make provision to start an exer:ise tet een 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. once every six years.

.4. 7. Off site organizations should schedule exercises at dif ferent seasons over a six-year period to increase the likelihood for exercising under various weather conditions. This provision can be fulfilled tnrougn :ne regul ar scheduling of exerci ses and in conjunction with items 2 and 3 above. 8. Of fsite organi:ations snould make provision to participate in unannounced exerci ses at least once every six years. An unar.nounced exercise is a regularly scheduled exercise in whicn the knowledge of the exact date of the exercise is restricted.to only those persons witn a need to know. Altnougn :ne knowledge of the exact date is restricted, a time frame of 7 days within which the unannounced exercise is to be conducted will be established and known to all parties involved. 9. Items 2,3,6,7 and 8 may be combined in the same exercise or addressec in separate exercises within a six-year period. SECTION B: OTHER PERIODIC REQUIREMENTS HIGHLIGHTED TO CALL ATTENTION TO T"E-NEED FOR COMPLIANCE

kUh, Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 October I,1985 GUIDANCE MEMORANDUM !T-1 A GUIDE TO DOCUMENTS.RELATED TO THE REP PROGRAM This Guide has been prepared to provide an overview of the various types of docments associated with the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) radiological emergency preparedness (REP) p-ogram.

It deals witn the purpose, intended audience, format, cl assi fication, coordination, di stribution, and periodic review of these documents and their relationship to other types of FEMA publications (e.g., Civil Preparedness Guides). Levels of REP Occuments. The various types of REP documents are grouped accorcing to tneir placement in four levels of publications. These levels are described below. Lovel I. Level I publications are regulatory in form, content and intent. At tne present time, this level inc10 des 44 CFR 350, 44 CFR 351 and the " Memorandum of Understanding between NRC and FEMA Relating to Radiological Emergency planning and Preparedness." Level II. Level II publications constitute major policy and guidance documents that have been incorporated into the FEMA-REP series such as NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1. Level III. Level III documents pertain to clarification of policy and procecures or transfer of technology between organizations and are designatec as guidance memoranda (GM). GM's are developed on an as-needed basis. Level IV. Level IV documents include a variety of publications including researcn reports (e.g., Taft, Louisiana chemical plant explosion), studies / reports (e.g, New Mexico prototypical plan for radioactive material transportation accidents and Sandia's report on the volume of radioactive materials transported in the United States). It is our intent to designate level IV docments as REP-numbered documents. While REP documents are grouped into four levels, the documents 'in these various groups are often related to each other in content or by reference. They also may be related vertically in that documents of a lower level stay be incorporated into documents of higher level. For example, it is anticipated that several GM's will be developed on the same general topic of exercises. Once these GM's are published, it is the our intent to consolidate them and publish them as a CPG and eventually to incorporate portions in the regulations as changes or additions. Develcoment. Use and Review of REP Documents. The following guidelines are set forta for deveicping, using anc reviewing REP documents ac:orcing to the four levels of publications. These guidelines are to be followee unless exceptions to the general guidelines are warranted by special ci rcumst anc es.

i Imvel I. I4 vel I documents are used to provide the basis and frarewrk for l inplemnting the REP pecgram. Be t w current regulations, 44 CFR 350 and l I 44 CTR 351, contain the ;olicies, procedures and nochanisms for the prevision of coordinated assistance by Federal agencies to State and 1ccal goverrrents j in reviesing and evaluatirg ef fsite rafiolcgical emrgency plannirq and pre-Also, the FDA-NPC Wmerandun of Understanding (KXJ) crovides the j paredness. / franewrx for ef fective coordination cf the respective roles and.esponsibil-l ities of these tw agencies within the context of the NRC's licensing furiction. j ne two regulations are published in the Federal Fagister and their contents are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations, he 50 is published in the I part cf tne Code. Provisicn will be cade for Federal Fegister but is not public ecmnents, as appropriate, to published regulaterf revisions with tirne l franes set acccrdirg to the extent of the nedifications and the urgenef of i putting them into effect. 2e development er tredification of Level I docaents will ce coordinated with j the follcwiry organizations: F&A regions, the NFC, the Federal Radiological l 1 Preparedness Coordinating Ccnmittee (FFKC) and other organizatices (e.g., Conference of Radiation Control Prcgram Directors, National Energenef Managerunt Association, National Cecrdinatiry Cmncil on Emrgenef ranageant, Edison i Electric Institute, Atcmic Industrial Forun, the Audubon Society anf tre Union cf Concerned Scientists). The specific organizations with which FD4A will ecordinate the developent ard review of level I doements will varf accordirc to the content and ;otential impact. As a general rule, not more than 30 c'ays will be alleM for the concurrent review and cerments df the I organizations that are assistirq in the development cf these decurents. REP-related regulations, the FDA-MPC 00 and other level I doements will be rwie-ed on a four-year cycle to detecnine the need to retain, revise or ccdify them. Charges necessitated by pecgran modifications in intervening years will be made on an interim as-needed basis. Level II. Level II documents are used for a nutber of pur;cses: (1) To pronulgate guidance fcir State and local governments to use in develepirq radiological energency plannirg and preparedness, (2) to establish criteria for Federal of ficials to use in reviesirg and evaluatirg State and local governrent plannirg and preparedness, (3) to provide information and. data to su;5crt specific aspects cf State and local goverment radiological energenef prcgrams and (4) to f acilitate the transfer of technolcgy bet.een and meng the private secter, State ard local goverments and the Federal government. 2e current listing of RD-series doexents contain publications that both do ard do rot contain anjor plicy ard guidance. For those docurents that do contain najor ;clief ard guidance su:h as NURIr,-0654/T&.A-REP-1; they will be, to the extent ;ossible, republished in the future as Civil Prepnedness Guides (CPG). 2cse cbcunents that do not contain najor policy and ;uidance such as FD4A-REP-6, Exercise Evaluation and Simulation Facility Evacation Events %odels: Part I-PRIDYN Users Guide, will be retained as RD-series dccunents and will te placed in the level IV grcup. es

i l' ) - l l 2e incor; oration of scne of the FJP-series documents into CPG's reflects cur ccnmitrent, to the extent pcssible, to use Agency publication formats for EP doc.unents as wil as to integrate the contents of REP documents into CPG's - that address Integrated Energency Management System progra enpnases. CPC's are used by the Agency for transmittim anjor ;olicy and guidance to State and j j local governments. A listing of REP-series deements is provided as Attacc. ent 1 l to this m. I Federal ' Register retices are provided for all level II doc.:nents in order to infoca the public of their ' availability, to invite pW11e ecwents and to 1 acknculedge formal adeption by FS.A. De pattern ard time allcwed for revies j and ecmnents on level II doesents is the same as that set forth for level I l doements. Se periodic review efele for level II documents will be two-years. We will use the current CPG nuntering schem for REP-related CPG doexents. Level III. L* vel III CM's are used for these pur;cses: (1) To set forth T&.A l policies and procedures related to REP regulations or general A;eney policies st.ch as the Integrated Emergency Management Information Systen, (2) to provide clarification and interpretation of criteria contained in guidance doceents such as NURfD-06547&.A-REP-1 and (3) to provide information of a core tecnnical nature to sup;crt the implementation of the FIP pecx; ram through the transfer Of -techno1cgy. We will use the new numbering schene for level III CM's imien includes twa alpha characters that suggest the s2 ject addressed and e sequential j nucer for that sWject area stch as EX-1 (Exercises). 1 Level III deements are to be developed in coordination with other organizations.. ) in the sane manner set forth for level I documents. For these doc.nents, 30 days will be allowed for Fagional reviews and 30 days for the cone.reent review i by the NRC, FRPIC and other organizations. Rese docurents are to be revie.ed each year or on an as-needed basis to determine if they should be ter ninated, replaced or nodified. As current listing of cperative CM's is previded as Attaca. ment 2. \\ Level IV. Level IV docurents are used for' the pur;cse of providing support to specific aspects of FDNs FIP program and may include prototypical setdies, i special research reports and pelications on other program issues and concer.s. As stated, it is our intent to use the current REP-series designation for these i documents. 2e Federal Register nay be used to netify the public of the availability of these doceents. No precise procedures are established for these doct:nents as coordination in their develcpnent and p21ication will be done on an as-appropriate basis according to their intended use and ;ctential inpact. I Level IV docununts are to be reviwed everf two yea:s to determine if the doesent shculd be terminated as an available publication, replaced or nodified.

REP-11 provides an amplification of NUREG-0654/FEuA PIP-1, I Rev.1, Planning Standard G. 1. and 2. n e review of public info matico raterials against these standards is an aspect of FEuA's overall respcesi-bility for of fsite radiological errergency planning and resperse ard is one cf the ways &A assists State and local goverrrnents in implementing their i responsibilities for the safety of persons and pregerty in the vicinity of ccrrercial nuclear pcuer plants. FDA REP-11 is intended to assist those who prepare public information docUnents, i.e., State and local governments and the licersees of nuclear i

cwer plants, in improving the content and dissemination of errergency instruction. It is our goal to increase the ccrrprehersibility of these cbcuments so that if notification of an emergency tecertes necessary, residents in Dnergency Planning Zones around nuclear pcwer plants will krew what actiers to take. With the final publication of this guidance in late 1986, WA will have a standard against which public infor.ation raterials nationwide can be reviewed consistently.

A voluntarf, centractor-supported technical assistance pregram is being initiated by FT.wA Headquarters for several reasers:

1) The technical assistance program will provide the target audience exposure to the principles and techniques of i:nproving emergency public infomation dissemination as reflected in the guidance. 2) 2 e pilot testing will give DA the benefit of practical experience in aoplying the guidarce to several site-specific situations prior to finalizing the guidance as a standard f er required pericdic review.

3) State ard local governments will have the opportunity to provide input into the final guidance thrcugh particie.ation l

in the technical assistance visits.

4) r&A will collect information about the range of public information and education techniques.beirq utilized and disseminate the most successful techniques. Althcugh only written prcducts will te evaluated at this time, all techniques being used will be reccgni:ed and docurented.

l Until the pilot-testing phase of this technical assistance prcgram is empleted and the &A REP-11 guidance is finalized, the application of tnis guidance is voluntarf. All written reviews of materials during this ene year pericd are part of the pn: cess of pilot-testing and finalizing FDA FIF-ll. Itemized advice and c:rments snould be censidered as suggestions. After the one year period, the finalized FDA REP-11 will be used as a standard for required periodic reviews. i

) - Secce of Technical Assistance Consultation Organi:ations requestirg technical assistance reviews will receive

an evaluation cf all written products designed to c rmunicate emergency public information, with par-icular emphasis on readability. A centractor team provided by FDA will provide advice on aspects of content, cenprehensi-bility, design, and distribution. A readability analysis also can be requested as a single-item consultation. All personnel who participate in the prcduct develconent, including ecunty, state, licensee and Regional office personnel will be invited to take part in the discussion to get maximum benefit of any advice of fered and to achieve ma.ximan interaction.

Technical assistance can be provided 1) through a field visit by the contracter to the FDA regional of fice or to the licensee site; 2) through written corres;cndence with telephone consultations or 3) thrcugh readability analysis provided with written advice. If technical assistance is requested through correspondence, all parties'will receive ecpies of the written report threugh the FDA regional office. Criteria fer Selecticn As Technical Assistance Site Organizations interested in technical assistance must make their re7;est through the State to the FDA Tsegional of fice. State suppcrt of the technical assistance is essential to having the contractor ;erform the review. Cue to limited resources available, sites currently cperating will receive priority for technical assistance. Gecgraphic distribution also-may te a consideration in selecting and scheduling sites for tec9nical assistance. Precedures fer Recuestine Technical Assistance Organizations (licensees, State and 1ccal goverrrnents) interested in technical assistance should folicw these steps:

1) Make a written reqJest to the FDA Regional Office threugh the State of fice, specifyino site, materials to be revie-ed, whether or net a site visit is requested, and the time peried in which the technical assistance could be conveniently scheduled. A tucr-veek windcw should be allcwed for scheduling, if possible, or alternate dates suggested.

2) *:he State, in passinc the request to T&A, shculd indicate which personnel, if any, can participate during a site visit, or who should be responsible for reviewing ard responding to results, i

3) When a site has !:een selected for technical assistance and so informed by the Pegional of fice, the requesting organization shculd send three q

expies of all ;ublic information materials to be reviewd, any dec.rnent-ation of the distribution system for the materials and other public education ef ferts, to the F&A Regional Of fice. The materials shculd be sent to the FDA Region at least three weeks in advance of the requested - technical assistance review date.

!Y~,i Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20M2 NOV I 3.>. GUIDANCE MEMORANDOM EV-2 i PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN Purrose 1 This Guidance Memorandum (GM ) is intended for Federal l officials to aid them in evaluating emergency plans and preparedness for school children during a radiological emergency. This guidance is also intended for State and local government officials and administrators of public and private schools, including licensed and government supported pre-schools and day-care centers, for developing emergency response plans and preparedness for protecting the health and l safety of students. Backcround The joint Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and j j Nuclear Regulatory Commission (!GC) guidance document, NUREG-l 0654/ FEMA-REP-1, provides criteria for protective actions for persons, including school children, within the plume exposure pathway emergency planning :ene (EPZ) in the event such l protective actions are needed in response to a radiological emergency at a commercial nuclear power plant. The need to l address the issue of protective actions for. school children stems from both the lack of detailed guidance on this issue and the expressed interest for such guidance from public interest groups, State and local government officials and Federal Regional officials. Scoce Guidance is provided in this GM on school evacuation in two contexts: for developing emergency response plans and for conducting and evaluating exercises. ' The primary method f or protecting school children examined is evacuation to relocation centers. This GM is a companion of the guidance on evacuation contained in GM 21, Acceptance Criteria for Evacuation Plans. This specific. guidance related to school children is appropriate because of the interest and concern l expressed about protecting the health and safety of school children during a radiological emergency at a commercial nuclear power plant. 1 i 1

School Evacuation C;nsiderations Evacuation as Relocation Centers. The evacuation of school children under the continuous supervision of teachers and administrators from a ' school to a relocation center is a-viable and reasonable approach when conf ronted with a radiological emergency. The decision to implement a protective action recommendation to evacuate to a relocation center should be tied to the nuclear power plant's emergency action level classification. Some emergency, response plans include the protective action strategies of early evacuation and early dismissal. If State and local governments select one of these strategies, then they ought to address it in their emergency response plan. If a State or local government elects to employ early evacuation or early dismissal, this guidance is sufficiently flexible to cover both strategies. All of the general guidance for evacuation would apply with the addition of the special considerations for early protective actions at the end of this GM. The recommendation to school officials to evacuate the school children to relocation centers should specify the area (s) to be included in the evacuation. For example, the evacuation could include schools within the two-mile radius of the plant and within three downwind sectors beyond the two-mile radius. Prompt evacuation is not advisable during exceptional situations such as having to drive through a radioactive plume or into a severe blizzard. Under these circumstances, the special population including school children, handicapped and/or immobile persons should be temporarily sheltered and subsequently evacuated, if need be, as soon as conditions permit. School children and other special population evacuees (see also GM 26, REP for Handicapped Persons) should be relocated outside the ten-mile EPZ in predesignated facilities to ensure that the accountability, safety and security of the evacuees can be maintained and to minimize vehicular traf fic and telephone use within the EPS. General Considerations. For whatever protective action options are contained in emergency plans, the plans should include provision for notifying parents and guardians ( e. g., through the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS)) of the status and locatien of their children during a radiological emergency. Also, the plans should document the decision making process and criteria used for developing emergency procedures for implementing protective action measures for school children. Acceptance criteria for developing and evaluating emergency planning and preparedness for school children are provided below. 1 2

Planninc Standard and Evaluation Criteria J. Protective Restense Planninc Standard A range of protective actions have been develop.ed for the i plume exposure pathway EPZ f or emergency workers and the public. Guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an emergency, consistent with Federal guidance, are. developed and in place, and protective actions for the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ appropriate to the locale have been developed. ( iUREG -06 5 4/ FEMA-RE P-1, p. 59) Evaluation griteria 2222 Each State and local organization shall establish a capability for implementing protectiv actions based upon protective action guides and other criteria. This shall be consistent with the recommendations of EPA regarding exposure resulting from passage of radioactive airborne plumes (EP A-520 /1-7 5-0 01), and with those of DHEW (DHHS)/FDA regarding radioactive contamination of human f ood and animal f eeds as published in the Federal Recister of seee.-bee i57 59797 f43 FR 58799t October 22 1982 (47 IE 470731t* J.10. The organi:ation's plans to implement protective measures for the plume exposure pathway shall include: i J.10.a. Maps showing evacuation routes, evacuation areas, preselected radiological sampling and monitoring points, relocation centers in host areas and shelter areas (identification of radiological sampling and monitoring points shall include -the designators in Table J-l or an ecuivalent uniform system. described in the plan); j J.10.b. Maps showing population distribution around the nuclear facility. This shall be by evacuation areas (licensees shall also present the information in a sector format); J.10.c. Means for notifying all segments of the transient and resident population; J.10.d. Means for protecting those persons whose mobility may be impaired due to such f actors as institutional or other confinement;

For your information and reference, the 12/15/73, CHES guidance has been superseded by the 10/22/82, guidance.

J.10.c. Means of relocation; J.10.h. Relocacion centers in host areas which are at least five miles, and pref erably ten miles, hayaad the a boundaries of the plume exposure EPZ (See K.8); J.10.1. Time estimates for evacuation of various sectors and distances based on a dynamic analysis (time-motion study under various conditions) for the plume exposure pathway EPZ (See Appendix 4); Accendix 4 Evacuatiqn Time Estimates Within its Plume fxtosure Pathwav Emercencv Planninc tone Accendix 4.TT.C. EtlLgfJ,1 Facili;.v Poculation An estimate for this special population group shall usually be done on an institution-by-institution basis. The means of transportation are also highly individuals:ed and shall be described. Schools shall be included in this segment (p. 4-3). Areas 21 R'eview ~ These evaluation criteria address the key planning requirements concerning the evacuation of students from schools. The review unde'r these criteria is intended to ensure that adequate planning and preparedness capabilities exist to. enable school officials to evacuate students in the event such a protective action is necessary during a radiological emergency. This guidance covers those actions from the initial notification to school officials of the need to evacuate the students to their arrival at relocation centers or other protective actions. In addition to these actions, the guidance also addresses time f rames f or accomplishing the protective actions. For purposes of definition and reference to NUREG-0654/TEMA-RE P-1, we are including " schools" among the types of institutions, the mobility of whose population may be impaired during a radiological emergency, because most students are dependent on school officials for transportation to and from their residences. (See evaluation criterion J.10. d. ) Also, " schools" are explicitly referenced in Appendix 4 on pages 4-2 and 4-3 as a type of "Special Facility Population" for which evacuation time f rames are needed on an institution-by-institution basis. The term, " schools," as used in this GM refers to public and private schools, and licensed or government supported pre-schools and day-care centers, 4

Accertance criteria An emergency plan will typically be acceptable under these evaluation criteria if it fully addresses the following emergency functions for the evacuation of, or other appropriate protective measures for, school children. Local governments should take the initiative to identify and contact all eublic and crivate school systems within the I I designated plume exposure pathway EPZ to assure that both public and private school officials address appropriate planning for protecting the health and safety of their ~ tudents f rom a commercial nuclear power plant accident. The splanning of both the public and private school officials should be closely coordinated with that of the local government. Local governments should ensure that appropriate organizational officials assume responsibility for the emergency planning and preparedness for all of the identified schools. Local governments should also ensure that the emergency planning undertaken by these organizations is integrated within the larger offsite emergency management framework.'or the particular nuclear power plant site. In accordance with the guidance contained in GM 21, the evacuation planning undertaken may be developed in three contexts: (1) Part of the existing radiological e=crgency preparedness plans, (2) A separare annex of an existing integrated emergency plan for many types of disasters and emergencies or (3) A separate evacuation plan f or all of the schools in each' school system. School officials should document in the clan the basis for determining the proper protective action' ( e. g., evacuation, early preparatory measures, early evacuation, sheltering, early dismissal or combination) including: Identification of the organization and officials responsible for both planning and effecting the protective action. Institution. specific information: - Name and location of school; - Type of school,and age grouping (e.g., public elementary school, grades kindergarten through sixth); 5

Evaluation criteria ~ N.l.a. An exercise is an event that tests the integrated capability and a major portion of the basic elements existing within emergency preparedness plans and organizations. The en.ergency preparedness exercise shall simulate an emergency that results in of fsite radiological releases which would require prompt response by offsite authorities. Exercises shall be conducted as set forth in NRC and FEMA rules. N.l.b. An exercise shall include mobilization of State and loc'l personnel resources adequate to verify the a capability to respond to an accident scenario requiring response. The organization shall provide for a critique of the biennial exercise by Federal and State observers / evaluators. The scenario should be varied from exercise to exercise such that all major elements of the plans and preparedness organizations are tested within a six-year period. Each organization should make provisions to start an exercise between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. once every six years. Exercises should be conducted during different seasons of the year within a six-year period in order to provide'fpr exercising under various weather conditions.. Some exercises should be unannounced E24 official observers f rom Federal, State or local 2 governments will observe, critique and evaluate the required ex.ercises. A cr,itique shall be scheduled at the conclusion of the exercise to evaluate the ability of. organizations to respond as called for in the plan. The critique shall be conducted as soon as practicable after the exercise, and a formal evaluation should result from the critique. i Areas 21 Review l These evaluation criteria address exercise-related requirements and their evaluation by Regional Assistance i Committee (P.AC ) staff. In addition to identifying l capabilities for evacuating students or effecting early l dismissal as a " major element" of an organization's emergency I response plan, suggestions are provided for conducting interviews with officials f rom schools during an exercise.

These provisions conform to the revision of evaluation c rite rion N.1.b.

of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1 promulgated in GM PR-1, Policy on NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1 and 44 CFR 350 Periodic Requirements. l 7

Accectance Criteria Requirements are set forth in FEMA (44 CFR 350.9) and NRC (10 CFR 50, Appendix E.IV.F.1-5.) rules for conducting -periodic exercises and drills. .Under these requirements, organizations with assigned responsibilities for protecting students are required to demonstrate through exercises their ability to implement emergency procedures contained in their-emergency response plans. However, the public (e.g., school children) are not required to participate in exercises. Further, the~ actual use of school vehicles is optional. The demonstration of each organization's capability to implement these measures in exercises will be evaluated by FEMA and other Federal of ficials. The f ollowing functions should be demonstrated a'nd evaluated in exercises in which the evacuation cf students is necessitated by events in the exercisetscenario: 1. Alerting and notification of appropriate school officials by local emergency officials with respect to status of radiological emergency and need to implement protective actions, including evacuation; 2. The contacting and notification of dispatchers and school bus drivers, as appropr'iate, to inform them of any potential or actual.need for them to transport students and 3. The provision of information to the parents and guardians, as appropriate, concerning the status and intended location or destination'of the students. With respect to simulating the evacuation of school children in an exercise, the following guidelines are provided. 1. At the discretion of school officials, the bus driver may proceed to drive a school bus to a relocation center, as necessitated by the simulated exercise events. 2. An exercise evaluator will interview the relevant personnel at the EOC's, the School Superintendent's office, the School Principal's office, and the Dispatcher's office, as well as the bus driver to determine their awareness of and preparedness for the evacuation of the school children. Pertinent questions { for the exercise evaluator pertaining to the dispatcher i l and bus driver include: Emercenev Orerations Centtilal - (ECC) One or more ECC's may be involved in decisionmaking to effect the evacuation of schools. For example, in some States, local school evacuation must be coordinated with 8 . l i

State officials. In such cases, observers may need to concurrently evaluate evacuation or other protective action decisionmaking in both State and local ECC's. 1.

In some cases, answers to the above questions will be secured from direct observation of the simulated evacuation, thus ' obviating the interviews. Special Considerations 12I Imelementinc Protective Actions ) In addition to the guidance above on school evacuation, the i f ollowing special considerations are provided for use when implementing other protective actions. Ear 12 2,:a.cararerv :! e a s u r e s. In order to facilitate the implementation of protective actions,' the following measures should be considered: l a. Inventory resources f or mobilization; e.g., school l buses and drivers. 1 b,. Curtail extramural or extra curricular 7.ctivities so l

hat school children are available for prompt evacuatica, if it becomes necessary.

11 i

w c. Select the method (e. g., ESS) and the draft message to notify parents and guardians of the status or destination of their children if it becomes necessary to take protective actions. d. Assure that the relocation center is available in the event evacuation is necessary. Earlv Evacuation. Early evacuation is accelerating the implementation of protective actions for school children prior to the activation of protective actions for the general l public. For example, if a plan calls for an evacuation of the public at the " General Emergency" level, then protective l l actions for school children would be initiated at the " Site l Area Emergency" level. In the event of a rapidly deteriorating situation, school children would be evacuated simultaneously with the general public. Earlv Dismissal. While early dismissal of school children is not addressed as an evacuation option per se in NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, it is incorporated in this GM as a method for accomplishing the intent of evaluation criteria under planning standard J because of its use for other types of emergencies such as imminent natural hazards (e.g., snowstorms). Hazards such as a school fire or boiler failure have a limited ha:ardous area, unlike an extended radiological plume; theref ore, the early dismissal of students to their parents and guardians may be prudent. The greater area affected by severe weather, such as a bli::ard, usually does not jeopardize the health and safety of the school children if they are dismissed early before the storm or remain sheltered in the school. In contrast, the radiological plume may make both the school and home undesirable shelters if both are in the plume exposure pathway, or if a f ast moving event could escalate to while the children were in transit. Further, in the presence of unstable meteorological conditions it is difficult to project the movement of radiological releases. Therefore, the uni ue characteristics of a radiological emergency place limits on the use of early dismissal as a viable protective action, particularly in heavily populated areas. Ivacuation Combined With Ea rly Dismissal. EArly dismissal used in conjunction with evacuation as described above provides another option. The school children who reside in a sector of the ten-mile EPZ not effected by the potential danger or outside the ten-mile E75 could be dismissed early to their parents, guardians or other supervision while tho'se students whose homes are pctentin11y in the path of a

sdioactive plume would be evacuated to designated relocation centers.

12

Shelterinc. Under certain circumstances sheltering may be the preferred protective action (e.g., when there are hazardous road conditions or the possibility exists that evacuation may result in transporting students through the plum e). Sheltering may be used as a primary or temporary Protective action depending upon the characteristics of the radiological release and the status of weather and road conditions. GM EV-2 is issued subsequent to review and concurrence by NRC l staff who have determined that i t provides clarification and interpretation of existing NUREn-0654/ FEMA-REP-1 criteria applicable to protective actions for "special populations." 9 0 13

)$% It9W Federal Emergency Managernent Agency n $y Washington, D.C. 20472 4 l l' NOV I 3 !985 l GUIDANCE MEMORANDUM MS-1 i MEDICAL SERVICES l i Purcose This Guidance Memorandum (GM) provides interpretation and clarification of requirements contained in the Nuclear Regulatory. Commission rule,10 CFR 50.47 (b)(12) and the associated guidance in NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, re-lated to the provision of medical services for members of the general public. j Backcround i I i The background is contained in a policy statement from the Nuclear Regulatory j Commission (NRC) titled " Emergency Planning - Medical Services" (51 FR 22gC4). l In this policy statement, NRC states its belief that 10 CFR 50.47(b)TI2) l (" arrangements are made for medical services for contaminated injured l individuals") requires pre-accident arrangements for medical services (beyond the maintenance of a list.of treatment facilities) for individuals who might be severely exposed to dangerous levels of offsite radiation following an accident i at a nuclear power plant. As used in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(12) and planning Standard j "L" of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Revisien 1, the tem " contaminated injured" means

1) contaminated and otherwise physically injured; 2) contaminated and exposed to dangerous levels of radiation; or 3) exposed to dangerous levels of radiation.

Guidance 10 CFR 50.47 (b)(12) requires that " Arrangements are made for contaminated injured individuals." In its policy statement the NRC determined that this standard recuires pre-tecident arrangements for medical services for offsite individuals who might be exposed to sangerous levels of radiation folicwing an accident at a nuclear power plant. The folicwing guidance applies to the eval-untion of the medical services aspects of State and lccal emergency plans under the criteria in NUREG-0554/TEMA-REP-1. Standards, Evaluations Criteria, Areas of Reviews and Acceptance Criteria A. Assignmt g of Responsibility 0rcu.iration Controli Planning Start'a rd Primary responsibilities for emergency response by the nuclear facility licensee, and by State and local organizations within the Emergency Planning Zones have been assigned, the emergency responsibilities of the various suo-porting organizations have been specifically established, and each principal response organi:ation has staff to respond and to augment its initial respense on a continuous basis.

1 i i 2 ~ A.3. Evaluation Criterion Each plan shall include written agreemer.ts referring to the concept of operations developed between Federal, State, and local agencies and other support organizations having an emergency response role within the Emergency Planning Zones. The agreements shall identify the emergency measures to be provided and the mutually acceptable criteria for their implementation, and specify the arrangements for exchange of information. These agreements may be provided in an appendix to the plan or the plan itself may contain descriptions of these matters and a signature page in the plan may serve to verify the agreements. The signature page format is appropriate for organizations where response functions are covered by laws, regulations or executive orders where separate written agreements are n >t necessary. Areas for Review and Acceptance Cr teria State or local governments should obtain written agreements with the lis'ted medical facilities (Planning Standard L. Evaluation Criteria 1 and 3) and trans-portation providers (Planning Standard L. Evaluation Criterion 4). The written agreements should contain simple assurances that the providers have adequate technical information (e.g. treatment protocols) and treatment capabilities for handling " contaminated injured" individuals. An indication of Joint Commission on Ac. crepitation of Hospitals (JCAH) accreditation will suffice for such assurance. (Note: Veterans Administration (VA), military and other government hoscitals are not usually accredited by JCAH but usually have the desired capabilities.) If state or local governments do not obtain written agreements, the licensee should obtain written agreements with the listed medical facilities and trans-f portation providers. If good faith efforts are not successful in a particular case, the licensee shall provide or arrange for adeqtate compensatory measures, e.g., obtain written agreements with other providus or provide temporary field medical cart. L. MedicaLand N6lic Health Succort Plannino Standard i Arrangements are made for medical services for contaminated injured incividualn L.l. Evaluation,_Cri'evion Each organi:ation shall arrange for local and backup hospital and medical services having the cacability for evaluation of radiation excesure and uptake, including assurance that persons providing these services are ade:;uately prepared to handle contaminated individuals.

i I ~ b I l

Areas for Review and Acceptance Criteria There should be one primary local hospital and one backup hospital for each site fo* the evaluation and emergency treatment of " contamination injured" members of the general public. Hospitals are generally distributed proportional to the population. Thus, at sites with low population and few hospitals, the primary local and backup hospitals for members of the general public could be the same as those for the utility empiciees and emergency workers.

L.3. Evaluation Criterion Each State shall develop lists indicating the location of public, private and military hospitals and other emergency medical services facilities within j the State or contiguous States considered capable of providing medical suopor: J for any contaminated injured individual. The listing shall include the name, 1- ' tion, type of facility and capacity and any special radiological capabili-d tic t. These emergency medical services should be able to radiologically monitor contaminated personnel, and have facilities arid trained personnel ible to care for contaminated injured persons. 4 ) Areas for Review and Acceptance Criteria The lists should be annotated to indicate the ambulatory /non-ambulatory cacaci-ties for providing medical support for " contaminated injured" members of the general public and any special radiological capabilities. This will enable state and local officials to direct members of the general public to those institutions capable of handling " contaminated injured" patients. In the event that local and regional medical resources need to be supplemented, additional medical re-sources would be available through the Federal Ps*ological Emergency Rescorse plan. These resources would include the Rad, Imergency Ass 4 stance Center / 4 Training Site at Oak Ridge, Tennessee and the Natmnal Disaster Medical Systen with headquarters in Reckville, Maryland. L.A. Evaluation Criterion Each organization shall arrange for transporting victims of radiological acci-dents to medical support facilities. Areas for Review and Accectance Criteria Because the early symptoms of persons exposed to dangerous levels of radiaticn are usually limited to nausea and vcmiting, ambulances may not be repuired to transport such persons to medical facilities. Rather, non-soeciali:ed public and private vehicles can be used, supported, if necessary, with agreements in accordance with A.3, above. For other types of contaminated injured individ-uals, specialized transportation resources (e.g., ambulances) would be necessary and should be assured by agreements, if necessary, in accordance with A.3. above. provisions should be made for the use of contamination control in transporting contaminated persons to medical facilities.

~ o .4 e Planning Standard O. Radiological Emercency Resconse Training Radiological emergency response training is provided to those who may be called on to assist in an emergency. 0.4. Evaluation Criterion Each organization shall establish a training program for instructing and cuali-fying personnel who will implement radiological emergency response plans. The specialized initial training and periodic retraining programs (including the scope, nature and frecuency) shall be provided in the following categories: h. Medical support personnel Areas for Review and Acceotance Criteria Each hospital listed under Evaluation Criteria L.1 and L'.3. shall have at least one physician and one nurse en ;all within about 2 hours who can ;upervise the evaluation and treatment of radiologically " contaminated injured" members of the general public. There are several sources for this training including NRC licensee sponsored training. Transportation providers should have basic training in contamination control. Examples incl.ude but are not limited to: 1. FEMA handbook, videotape,. slides and instruction manual titled "Hosoital Emergency Department Management of Radiation Accidents," SM 80/198c. 2. Courses from The Radiation Emergency Assistance Center / Training Site (REAC/TS) at Oak Ridge Associated Universities. 3. Audiocassette and text course, "Racistion Accident Preparedness: Medical and Managerial Aspects" by Science-Thru-Media Inc., 303 Fifth Avenue, Suite 803, New York, NY 10016. N. Exercises and Drills Planning Standard Periodic exercises are (will te) conducted to evaluate major portions of emer-gency response capabilities, periodic drills are (will be) conducted to develoo and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected. 4 l

i . 3 l i N.2. Evaluation Criterion A drill is a supervised instruction period aimed at testing, dewSloping and -cintaining skills in a particular operation. A drill is often a component of i e, exercise. A drill shall be supervised and evaluated by a qualified drill instructor. Each organization shall conduct drills, in addition to the biennial amawa4* exercise at the frequencies indicated below: c. Medical emergency drills A medical emergency drill involving a simulated contaminated individual which contains previsions for participation by the local support services agencies '(i.e., ambulance and offsite medical treatment facility) shall be conducted annually. The offsite portions of the medical drill may' be performed as part of the' required biennial ammwa?* exercise. Areas for Review and Acceotance Criteria State or local governments should provide for the conduct of appropriate drills 1 and exercises which in=clude " contaminated injured" individuals. These medical ) emergency drills involving the primary local (L.1.) hospital for state and local governments should be conducted annually. These drills should also test the capability of relocation centers to direct " contaminated _ injured" members of the general public to the appropriate hospital. If State or local governments canno: provide for the conduct of the drills, the licensee shall provide-for the :en-duct of such drills. If good faith efforts are not successful in a particular I case, the licensee shall provide or arrange for adeouate compensatory measures. 1mnlementation State and local emergency response plans should reflect the provisions of this GM at the next annual update following 9 months from the effective date of this GM. plans for plants that do not have a full power operating license should reflect the provisions of this GM within C months of the effective date of this GM. The first medical drill reflecting the provisions of this GM should be conducted by the end of tne next biennial exercise following 1 year from the effective date of this GM.

Changes reflect language incorporated into GM PR-1.

D.C. 20472 NW g Zl @ GUICANCE MEMCPRICCM Ni-1 FEMA ACTICN T QUALIFY AIERI AND NOTIFICATION SYSID4S N3AINST NUREG-0654/FEG-?IP-1 AND FCG-?IP-10 PURPOSE This Guidance Memorandum (GM) describes ;clicy and procedures to be followed by the Federal Emergency Managemnt Agency (FDG) Headquarters and Regional Cf fices in assessing and making findings and determinatiers on the adequacy of alert and notification systems installed around c:mmercial nuclear powr plants. Planning Standards E, F, and N and Appendix 3 of %~RE3-0654/FD%-?IP-1, and FEMA-?IP-10, the " Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and tbtification Systems for Nuclear Powr Plants" contain the scecific technical criteria against which alert and notification system designs will be reviewed. This GM supersedes the currently operative CM-13, Fevision 1, entitled "FDG Action to Qualify Alert and Notification Systems Against E' REG-0654/FC%-REP-1, Revision 1" dated Cctocer 19, 1983. BACKGROUND The President of the United States, in a statenent on Decem:er 7, 1979, assigned FC% as the lead Federd.N;ency fer coordinating State and local radiological e~er-gency planning and preparedness activities around cornercial nuclear power :lants. his resp:nsibility included evaluating and approving State and local radiological emergency planning and preparedness for dealing with the consequences of an accident at a c mnercial nuclear pcwer plant. Following this Presidential directive, FEG and tne Nuclear Pegulatory Cemnission (NRC) jointly pr:duced, in Novencer 1980, NUFIG-0654/FCG-?IP-1, " Criteria f r Preparation and Evaluation of Radiol:gical Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Mwer Plants". This guidance docuhat provides the basis for the develo; rent of radiol:gical emer-gency response plars and preparedness by State and local goveranents and the NRC licersees f0r dealing with accidents at conmercial nuclear ;cwr plants. NUPEC-0654/FDG-REP-1 also provides the basis for tM review of radiological emergency response plans and preparedness by Federal agencies. Apoendix 3 of NURE3-0654/FCG-?IP-1 states that NRC licensees are required to install alert and notification syste-s arounf comercial nuclear pcwer plants and tnat activation of enese systans is ne responsibility of the State and local gove r.ments.

he licensees were mandated by NRC to have alert and notifi sti:n systens installed around operating comercial nuclear ;cwer plants by Feoruary 1, 1982 (originally by July 1,1981). Any nuclear powr plant scheduled for Operation af ter February 1,1982, is required to have an alert and notification systen installed prior to ccnmercial cperation of the facility.

I Thr:ugn agreenent with the NRC, FEMA accepted the lead respersibility for review-ing and accrovin; alert and notifi stion syste s. ~his included confirming ena: I

ne syste-s ars in full ::mpliance with NCPE-0654/ecu-REP-1, Fru Rule 44 CFR j

350, and NRC Rule 10 CFR 50, ;cper .x E. As part of this lead resp:nsicilby, Frm developed tne " Standard Guide for c he Evaluation of Alert and Notification Syste-a f r % clear Powr Plants" (FD%-43) which was issued as interi'n-use guidance for

. evaluatirq alert and notification systems. Fe%-43 presented an elaboration on l and an acclimation of the criteria contained in NCREG-0654/F9%-REP-1 for purposes l Of revieMrq and acpreving alert and notification systems. FCG-43 as subsequently l revised to reflect ccmments received during ne interim-use period. In Novemcer 1985, final guidance was issued in FC%-?IP-10, ' nien superseded FC%-43. The guidance contained in this GM addresses the procedural stecs wnich will ce follM by the FC% Regions and Headcuar.ers in the evaluation of alert and noti-fication systens leadirq up to aoproval of the systems.

A verificatico er reverificatico of the adequacy of evaluation criteria E.5.,

E.6.( administrative aspects and if pcssible, Ohysical aspects), F.1., N. l., N.2., N.3., and N. 5. as documented in the most recent interim finding, exer-cise report, or 44 CFR 350 approval:

A review of and enents on the technical assistance contractor's preliminary

- draf t report especially as it relates to evaluation criterion E.6.(physical aspects) and a review of the routine syste testing procedures and cperacility;

A confir ation of c:mpliance of the State and 1ccal goverments with the time requirements in 10 CFR Part 50, Aopendix E, Section 0. 3, NUREG-0654/FC%-FIP-1, l

Appendix 3, and FD4A-REP-10 (See At:achment I to this G4 for more details);

A review of both institutional alerting procedures and special alerting cro-cedures utilized for the transient pcpulation to determine the adequacy of these procedures.

l l Follcwing their preliminary review, the Regional Office should previde a preliminary finding of adequacy or inadequacy to FO% Headquarters. If the system is found to have adequate alertirg ecverage, a date for the telephone survey will te established by FC% Headquarters that is agreeable to the Regional Cffice, State and lccal goveranents, technical assistance contractor, and the NRC licensee. If the system is found to have inadequate alerting coverage or other preolems, the State and/cr utility will te notified tr.rcugh the FC4A Regional Office that further documentation to supcort the alert and notificacico system design is required. A cere detailed review of :ne alert and notification syste design by the Regional Of fice may be required if significant time has elacsed since the last Regional interim finding, 44 CFR 350 review, or exercise was ccmpleted in which the alert and notification system related plan eleents were reviewed. As par: cf the review crocess, the tecnnical assistance contractor will condue: a teleprene sur/ey of pec anent residents in the 10-mile EP2 af ter activation of the alert and notification system. Households will be polled to ascertain shenner er not they -ere aler ed during the activation Of the system. Such a teleonone sur-vey will be performed only once to approve the aler; and notification syste unless the results are unacceptable during the initial sur/ey. The telephone sur/ey.can be conducted following activation of the alert and notification systen either during routine testing, as part of a scheduled exercise, or as a separate activation. The technical assistance contrac:Or will prepare a final draft reper: On the alert and notification system following the telepnene suriey. This final draf reocr will dccument the results of the survey along with the results of tne earlier tecn-nical review of the system design. The FC% Regions will review this final draf t report, address the acceptability of the rcutine siren testing procedures and coer-acility witn respect to established standards, address any remaining issues net covered in their preliminary finding, as discussed abcVe, and make a final reccm-mendation en approving er disapproving tne systen. The Regional findirg ray ia.clude recon endations for system modifications er enhancements. FC % Readquar err will incer; crate all appropriate Regicnal ceccrendations into a final re;cre and issue a findin; to the NRC en the adequacy or inadequacy of the alert and notification system. It is important to note that findings on alert anf notification systers employing sirens cannot be issued without documentation that the routine siren testing procedures are adequate and that the operability standard of 90% in FD%- REP-10 has teen acnieved based en 12 mnt.s of current testing records.

1 i ) i l _3_ State and local goverment emergency planning and preparedness can be approved oy Fru pursuant to 44 CFR 350 without approval of tne alert and notification In these cases, FD% will issue a conditional 44 CFR 350 approval cave-H system. ated on the ultimate approval of the alert and notification system. The caveat ^ in tne 44 CFR 350 approval will be removed once the alert and notification system is approved. However, in scoe cases, alert and notification system related prob-lems may delay a 44 CFR 350 approval and in other cases the alert and notification i system accroval may be granted simultaneously with the 44 CFR 350 approval. An alert anE notification syste.n is suojec: to an engineering analysis against NUTEG-0654/TE1A-FIP-1, and FC%-FIP-10 ty this procedure only once, unless a significant 3 charx;e, as specified in 44 CFR 350.14, is made to the system. The FD% Regicnal of fices will be responsible for Mvisin; FD% Headquarters of significant changes I to alert and notification systems or of significant enanges in :ne EP2 tnat mign: q impact the alert and notification system after the initial approval. The Regions will also be responsible for assisting in re-reviews dat may oeccme necessary. If necessary, tecnnical assistance may be provided and a telephone resur/ey J conducted if sucn re-reviews are undertaken. Following the initial, qualifying telephone survey and approval of an alert and j notification system, FF_MA will not conduct nor require that; additional telegnone surveys be conducted to assess the continued capabilities of the system unless one or more of the following conditions is encountered that would warrant sucn sur/eys: A significant change occurs in the demographics or in the con:1guration 3 ) of tne EP2 around the nuclear power plant; A significant modification is made to the physical ex.;cnents of de alert and notification system that actually or potentially decreases j the effectiveness of tne systen; A significant proolem is identified in scme aspect of the alert and notification system er there is documentation provided by de Region supporting concerns ever the continued adequacy cf de system, Should any of these conditions be encountered, it will be incumbent upon de Fegional Office to notify FCG Headquarters and recx:nend revisions and/or corrective actions wnien could include a telephone resurvey conducted eider oy FCG or de State. If FETA conducts the resurvey, FD% Headquarters will i coordinate all appropriate arrangements for the additienal surveys vid .e NRC, CP.B, ard other effices 'as necessary. State and local ;cverments, in conjunction with the licensees, are encouraged to conduct their own annual sur/eys as a methcd of monitoring the continued ef festiveness of their systems, especially those with significant tone alert radio cm.ponents. Following de initial approval of an alert and notification system, de FDG Pegions will oe responsible for routinely receiving the results of alert and notification system tests and will be expected to review de results and report tnem to FCG Headquarters annually. The results should ce submitted as part Of tne periodic requirements reporting. *his is necessary to verify tnat stren system operability is maintained at 90% or higner, the standard in FDG-FIP-10, and to confirm that routine testing, including testing of special alerting c:mponents, is being conducted at the proper frequency and in accordance with those procedures

l _g-reviewed and approved by FOG. The operability results :-ay be submitted to the FD% Fegion by eitner the State and local goverments or the licensee.

?URP2SE_ The purpose of this attachment is tw fold: ' To elaborate upon the accepted FCd.A interpretation and application of alert and notification system design cojectives outlined in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, NUPIG-0654/FDm-REP-1, Appendix 3, and FDM-REP-10 that relate to alert and notification system activation and timinct and

To provide guidance and suggestions for evaluating and confirming com-pliance with these design ob;ectives during of fsite radiological amer-gency preparedness exercises; he provision of timely and appropriate alerting and notification etuld be one of the most critical aspects of protectirg the puolic in the event of an acci-dent at a nuclear ;cwer plant. Ensuring that alert and notification systers installed around nuclear power plants are in fact capaole of rapidly warniN the public is an important aspect cf FEMA's review of of fsite radiological emergency planning and preparedness.

BACKGROUND i l Each alert and notification systen must have the capacility to rapidly alert the puolic and advise them cf protective action recemnendations. De actual design ebjectives against wnich these systems must be designed are outlined in the Nuclear Regulatory Ccmmission (NRC) Rule 10 CFR 50, Apoendix E, NCPIG-0654/FD%-RSP-1, Appendix 3, and FFMA-?IP-10. As stated in NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Appencix 3, and in FEMA-REP-10 the niinintm acceptacle design oojectives for coverage oy an alert and notification system are: " a) Capability for providing t:oth an alert signal and an informational or instructional essage to the population on an area wide casis throughout the 10 mile EP2, within 15 minutes. b) The initial notification system will assure direct coverage of l essentially 100% of the pcoulation within 5 miles cf the site. c) Special arrangements will te r.ade to assure 100% coverage within 45 minutes of de population wro may not have received.he initial notification within the entire plume exposure EP2. De basis for any special requirements exceptions (e.g., for extended water areas with transient coats or rerete hiking trails) must be doc.mented. " he NRC rule 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section IV. D.3. requires that licensees "sna11 demonstrate that tne State /ltcal efficials have the cacacility to we a puclic notification decision pro ptly tn oeing informed by tne licensee cf an emergency condition." ~he rule further states tnat "the design co;ective of the prtmpt public notification systen shall be to have the capability to essentially complete tne initial notification of the puolic within the plure exposure pathway EP2 within acout 15 minutes. The use of this notification

I-2 1 capacility will rance fran imcediate notification of the public (within 15 ' minutes of the time that state and local efficials are notified that a situation exists requiring urgent action) to the more likely event where there is substantial tire s available for the State and local governmental efficials to make a judgment wheder or not to activate the public notification system." A very important aspect of the formal FEMA process fer reviewing and appreving alert l and notification systems is confirming. that the design objectives and requirements outlined above ha've been met. In confirming alert und notification system capa-l bility, FEMA cust consider a conservative scenario, i.e., the condition requiring .l system activation and issuance of an instructional message by effsite authorities. within 15 minutes of notification by the licensee that i=nediate protective actions are required. NRC Rule 10 CFR 50, Appendix E requires that licensees have-the capa-bility to notify responsible Offsite officials within 15 minutes after declaring an Similarly offsite, in extreme situations with no decision-making time emergency. available, the capacility must exist to activate the system and broadcast an instruc-tional message within 15 minutes of notification'by the licensee; or if-decision-making time is available, the capability nust exist to activate the system and broadcast an instructional message within 15 minutes'of a decision by the responsible official to warn the population. 'A ile FEMA and NRC require that this 15 minute capability exist, it is recognized that net all emergency conditions will necessitate offsite notification within as short a time as 15 minutes. The "15-minute capability" is confirmed through the observation of actual demon-strations or simulations of this capability during offsito radiological emergency r ~ paredness exercises. Actual decenstrations are encouraged. During these exercist exercise evaluators actually time the alert and notification process to confirn 2_ the administrative procedures and mechanical canponents of the system are. in place and satisfy FEMA and NRC requirements. INTERPRE~ATICNS FEMA's integretation of the design objectives outlined in NCREG-0654/ FEMA-?I?-1, Appendix 3 and of the requirements in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E are based on gecr;raphic location within the emergency planning zone. The alert is considered to t;e the warning signal and the notification is considered to be the issuance cf public in-structions via the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) or other systems. The design cb-jectives will be applied by FD4A in alert and notification system reviews as folicws:

Within 0 to 5 Miles of the Site Alert and notification systems must be capable cf providing an alert signal and an instmetional message within 15 minutes to populated (permanent and transient) areas located within 5 miles of tne facility. This includes alerting and noti-fying the transient population in remote rural areas, cpen water areas, rivers, 1

hunting areas, recreational areas, private co pounds, beaches, national ferests, j and other icw pcpulation areas which may require special alerting procedures.

Within 5 to 10 Miles cf the Site

,i i I Alert and notification systems must also be capable of providing an alei l signal and an instmetional message within 15 minutes between 5 and 10 miles s of the facility. Mcwever, in extremely rural, low population areas beycnd 5 4 ,]

I-3 miles, up to 45 minutes may be allcwed for providing an alert signal and an instructional message to the per.anent and transient population. Examples of such areas include rural farms, hunting areas, recreational areas, cpen water Se alert and notification ^ areas, national forests, teaches, and rivers. system design suinittal should contain the rationale for requiring up to 45 minutes to alert such areas as well as the other documentation required in FEMA-REP-10. Areas proposed in the alert and notification system design sub-mission for alerting within 45 minutes will be reviewed on a case-by-case l bas is. - l

All Areas Within the Emercency Planninc 2cne In all situations the tine frames for activating the alert and notification system are measured frem the point at which the designated official, or efficials if two er more jurisdictions are involved, reaches a decision which necessitates As indicated in the chart the activation of the alert and notification system.

there is decision-making time available to offsite officials that should

belew, not be calculated in the 15 or 45 minutes.

Belcw are suggestions and considerations regarding evaluating tnis capacility tefere, during, and fellcwing exercises:

{ j s ^ l I-4 s i s Pre-Exercise Activities i Sekore exercise activity begins, the Regions should confim or be aware of the following aspects: r 3 I That for the offsite jurisdictions w3.th alert and notification responsi-bilities, all administrative precedurts for completing the entire peccess are clearly coordinated and dccumented in the plans. That the plans clearly state that the alert and notification process can be carried out within tne requi x! time frames. la l with That the plans clearly identify the official er appointed efficial(s) decision-making authority who can issue protective action reccemendatiens and cuthorize activation of the system (this official might be the Governcr, The I a County Administrator, a County Jud;;e, or other similar officials). 15 er 45 minutes begins with this official's authorization to activate the system. That the plans clearly indicate the planned alert and notification activi-ties related to each emergency classification level cutlined in the plan. Wnich emergency classification level will be used to verify the alert ard notification system capabilities. It is acceptable to verify the capabilities of de system at any.cne of the activations, if there is .cre than one, as long as the entire sequence can be observed during the activation chosen for verification. Khich routes will be observed 'if route alerting is part of the alert and notification system and is bding confirmed during the exercise. That any backup alening procedures,that have been develeped are clearly outlined in the plan includin; hcw these, procedures'will be implemented and the time frames preposed by the responding crganizatien for ccepletirq them, if any are pregesed. j.percise Activities Otxing exercises, the Regions should be ecgnizant of the. following: Star-inc the Cicek In cen#1 ming that the alen and notification system time requirements are satisfied, the evaluator cheuld begin the timing frem the peint l at which the decision to activate the alert and notification system is j made. Within 15 cr 45(if applicaole) minutes 'of this decisien ey offsite cfficials, the alert signa'? must be activated and an instructional message must be on the air. Monitorinc Each Ste; Every step of the alerting process should be renitored starting with the decisien to activate the system through the actual or simulated broad-4 I I l J

R I-5 I i cast of the protective action recemendation to confi:m that proper pro- ) cedures are being folicwed. Durirg exercises, decision-making time should be available to offsite offic-ials. Mcwever, it will be incumcent upon the exercise evaluators to deter-mine if the time required by offsite officials to make prntective action recemendations is excessive and would result in the public beirq placed at risk. Cbviously in a real emergency, the nature of the emergency will dictate the amount of time available to offsite officials in arriving at protective action recommendations. Similarly, during an exercise, the scenario and exercise play will give an indication of what reasonable de-cision-making time is and when a lack of action should result in a required corrective action citation or deficiency. Decisien-making time cculd range frem absolutely zero in a sericus, fastbreaking accident, to the ::cre likely situation whereby consultation time would be available to offsite efficials. Once the offsite officials make a decision to implement a protective action, the 15-minute clock begins. Since every exercise is different, the decisien-making time observed will vary. l

Prir:arv Rcute Alertinc If route alerting is a primary means of providing the alert signal, de Region can assign evaluators to accccpany the individuals performing this function to confirm that proper procedures are followed and that the ap-plicable 15-er 45-minute requirements are achieved including all steps out-l lined in FEM-REP-10 (e.g., mobilization of personnel, transit time to de l

l beginning of the rcute). If multiple routes are involved and sufficient evaluators are net available for evaluating every route,- a samplirq of de i routes may be chosen for evaluation, possibly focusing on de mest difficult routes er de more ;cpulated routes.

Backuo Route Alertinc If backuo route alert and notification system procedures are demonstrated durirs exercises, evaluators should be aware of the time required for off-site authorities to c:mplete the entire backuo route alerting process.
hese systems are designed to be put into ef feet only when prirary syste-s, especially sirens, fail. There is no hard and fast time requirement for c:rpleting the backup route aler-ing process; however, 45 minutes is a suggested objective for ccepleting the process.
Simulation It is acceptable to simulate the activation of alert and notification systems during exercises. Hewever, even though the system activation is being si.-u-lated, the 15-minute capability can still be confir ed.

It is L portant dat all jurisdictions participating in the notification process are coeratinc off the same si ulated alert activation time. Route alerting times should te cen-firmed brougn actual observation. Even ecugh the notification crecess is being sir:ulated, ce ocser/er should see de preparation of the instructional message, coordination with participating jurisdictions, cecmunication wi d the broadcast station and c rpletion of the authentication process.

~ I-6 i ~ l I Pest-E.xercise Activities t 3 in preparin;; the pcst-exercise report, the following items should be addressed:

A clear statement of whether er not the exercise objectives associated with the alert and notification system were achieved.

j

A chart er scoe other methed of indicating the exact times of the various steps in the alert and notification process that will make it clear if the time requirements have been achieved.
Failure by offsite authorities to ecmplete the crimary alert and notifi-caticn process within the time frames stipulatec in %' FIG-0654/ FEMA-REF-1, Appendix 3 and FEMA-REP-10 should autx.atically result in a " deficiency" citation, regardless of the type of system (e.g.

sirens, tone alert radios, route alerting) employed.

Failure to ex.plete backup route alerting in accordance with the time frames established by tne responding organizations should be cited as an
