AMD1DED PREFIIED TESTI!GY OF RICHARD W. DONOVAN ON BEHALF OF THE FEDERAL EMERGaiCY MANAGEMDff AGENCY ON THE JUNE 28-29.1988 SEABROOK EXERCISE I am Richard W. Donovan. I have been employed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FDG) in its Region X office at Bothell, Washington, (and by one of its predecessor agencie.s) as a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program Officer since 1975 and as Chaiman of the FDR Region X Regional Assistance Committee (RAC) since 1979.
I am also the Regional Assistance Committee Chairman for FDR Region I for Seabrook. A Statement of Professional Qualifications was attached as an exhibit to testimony previously filed in these hearings.
Under a Memorardum of Understanding between FDR and the Nuclear Regulatory h4mion (NRC), FDR has agreed to evaluate radiological l
emergency response plans and preparedness for areas around commercial l
8905220017 890527 PDR ADOCK 05000443 0)
T PDR
nuclear power plants and to provide IEC with findings and witnesses to support those findirgs as reqaired by IRC's licensing procedures.
In tlie case of Seabrook Station, FDR provided written reports to the NRC on re "4 e 14, 1988, among which the September 1, 1988, report on the June 28-29, 1988 Seabrook exercise was incorporated by references.
mis exercise report has been provided to the Seabrook Service List and is incorporated into this testimony by reference.
A radiological emergency preparedness (REP) exercise is a test of the implementability of the plan (s). In the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FD%) REP Exercise Evaluation process, exercise participants are requested to deirwnate the implementation of their plans. me demonstrations are evaluated against certain exercise objectives, which are based upon the offsite planning standards contained in 44 CFR 350.5 of the FDM rule. FDa's exercise objectives are contained in FDR's Guidance Memorandum GM EX-3, " Managing Pre-Exercise Activities and Post-Exercise Meetings", and its amendment, issued on March 7, 1988.
m e expected demonstrations are defined by extent of play agreements with the exercise participants. An extent of play agreement is an agreement between FDR and the exercise participant (s) on the manner in which a particular resporse function will be demonstrated. Included as Attachment A to this testimony and incorporated by reference is a document incorporatire the extent of play agreed to in advance of the exercise by the participants. Rese extent of play agreements are important to an understanding of the
- o..
j y...
approach taken to deircr=Ratiry the implementability of various elements of the SH4C.
The overall conclusion which FDR reached in evaluating the June 1988 Seabrook exercise is that the exercise deliG = uated that the SIHC can be implemented.
For the purposes of this testimony, FDR amends the September 1, 1988 Post-Exercise Anna - nt (PFA) to correct certain inaccuracies con rning bus route demor=Lations in the State of New Hampshire.
Attachment B to this testimony is a REPORT CLARIFICATION SHEETf explaining the changes made to pages 173-177 and page 181 of the PEA, together with the amended pages. The amendments do not affect the conclusions stated in the PEA.

173 recommend early dismissal due to concern for the latch key children.
A precautionary PA was made at Site Area Emergency to hold children in school until 1700; i.e., late dismissal.
The-Board of Education notified all appropriate school districts of this precautionary PA.
l t
Portsmouth officials recommended early dismissal with the instruction to hold latch-key children at the schools until their parents could pick them up.
Brentwood officials directed the Swasey school to allow normal dismissal of school children.
When evacuatioa was ordered for the general population at 1420 in various towns, the school children were included as part of the public to be evacuated.
In the towns not evacuating, the late dismissal decision was extended from 1700 to 1900, or until parents picked up their children. EPZ schools and potential host schools were promptly notified of changes in the situation by phone from Department of Education.
The IFO Local Liaisons coordinated transportation resources to assist the evacuation of schools. For participating towns, the transportation requirements for the schools were obtained from the Local Liaison' Officers in each of the towns. For the non-participating towns, the transportation resource requirements for the schools were obtained by the Local Liaison Officers in the IFO by direct contacts with the schools themselves.
Transportation requirements were summarized and transmitted to the State (Transportation Coordinator). Follow-up was done by, obtaining information from the State Staging Areas indicating when vehicles were dispatched and when vehicles arrived at destinations, and when they departed.
No significant delays or problems were observed in obtaining and dispatching resources.
The buses left the Staging Areas in an orderly and timely manner.
Drivers and vehicles were dispatched from the Staging Area to local Staging Areas and then to assigned schools, day care centers and nurseries.
Following is a summary of the routes and FEMA's evaluation:

Issue #1:
Implementation of pas for Schools. ARCA (REP-1, J.10.g)
Evaluatiom In Brentwood, after the order to shelter was received, the selectman in charge called the Swasey School to tell them to let the children take their normal bus routes home. In Portsmouth, the town officials to the schools told to effect early dismissal and to hold in shelter only the latch key children.
Recommendation Train Staff on Protective Action Implementation.
Additional training should be provided to the appropriate staff to ensure that they understand the State's Plan and procedures for implementing protective actions for school children.
Issue #2:
Inadequate / Inaccurate Maps. ARCA (REP-1, J.10.g).
f Evaluatiom In several cases, the maps had wrong instructions or had l-wrong addresses which created significant problems for the drivers. In all cases, the drivers were able ta recover effectively from the bad Instructions by inquiring of local population for directions (Controller
(
intervention). All the maps should be carefully reviewed and amended L
i L_-
182-where. errors are present. Instructions on maps should be in more detail, with a more extensive use of landmarks. Since streets are -
poorly marked in the area, landmarks would speed verification _of routes. Distances between landmarks, destinations, and local Staging ll Areas should'be included in instructions. All addresses of schools and day care centers should be verified with maps.
Recommendations: Review and revise maps..
Issue #3:
Training of Drivers. ARCA (REP-1, J.10.g.)
Evaluation:
Drivers had difficult'y reading maps and driving at the same time. When drivers did not follow the route, most found their way back to the correct route by asking the public or turning around.
In some cases the maps had street names and town limits marked but in reality these points were not designated and this made following the route difficult.
Recommendation Train staff on following route instructions.
Objective #20:
Demonstrate the organizational ability and resources necessary to control evacuation traffic flow and to control access to evacuated and
. sheltered areas.
Evaluatiom Met.
Narrative Summary:
The State of New Hampshire demonstrated the organizational ability and resources necessary to control evacuation traffic flow and control access to evacuated and sheltered areas.
The State Police liaison at the. State EOC were responsible for ensuring that sufficient personnel were available to staff the Access Control Points (ACPs) and Traffic Control Points (TCPs) required to implement the appropriate PA. The State Police liaison took action to ensure adequate police officers were available to handle the TCP and ACPs. At 1037 the State Police liaison arranged for 25 officers to handle beach closing. At 1335 the State Police liaison arranged for 30 more troopers. At 1530 the State Police liaison reported that all Traffic Control Points required to implement NH PA #3 were staffed; i.e., NH PA #3 requiring a total of 89 troopers (to staff ACP/TCPs).
At 1635 NH PA #4, the staff were reassigned to appropriate ACP/TCPs.
NH PA #4 required a total of 83 troopers to staff ACP/TCPs. The reassignment was completed by 1730.
The State Police liaison at the IFO was responsible for directing /prioritizing the order of ACP/TCP activation - and was responsible for coordinating actions between the states, NHY ORO, and local communities.
