May 1933 i i REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF i SEABROOK PLAN AND PREPAREDNESS j l FOR MASSACHUSETTS COMMUNITIES j l BACKGROUND This review was conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region I (FEMA !), with the assistance of the Regional Assistance Committee (RAC). j The RAC is chaired Ly FEMA and has the following members: Nuclear Regulatory j Commission; U.S. Department of Agriculture; U.S. Department of Commerce; U.S. Department of Energy; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI); U.S. Department of Transportation; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; U.S. Food and Drug Administration; and the U.S. Public Health Service. The j Regional Assistance Committee functions in accordance with 44 CFR, Part 351, l " Radiological Emergency Response Pldning and Response." ) The " Review and Approval of State and local Radiological Emergency Plans and Preparedness," 44 CFR 350, specifies that the criteria and objectives used in the Review 1 will be those deuiled in NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1, November 1980. FEMA's rule 44 CFR 350 established the procedures and policies for FEMA's review, evaluation and approval of State and local government radiological emergency planning and preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. On November 3,1987, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) amended its rules to provide criteria for the evaluation of utility prepared emergency plans in situations in which state and/or local governments decline to participate further in emergency planning. On December 2,1987, FEMA and the NRC promulgated an interim-use dccument entitled " Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (Criteria for Utility Offsite Planning and Preparedness)". The document has been published as Supplement I to NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1. The guidance contained in Supplement 1 is to be used for the development, review and evaluation of offsite utility radiological planning and preparedness for accidents at commercial nuclear power plants. FEMA utilizes the "350 process" established in the FEMA rule,44 CFR 350, for reviewing and evaluating State and local radiological emergency preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. There are two different types of FEMA findings under the 350 process, "350 finding" and " Interim findings". There are differences between the two types of findings. First, the authority under the "350 finding"is 44 CFR 350 and the authority under the " interim finding" is provided under 44 CFR 350 and by the FEMA /NRC Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), April 18, 1985. Under the MOU, the NRC can request an interim finding on the adequacy of offsite planning and preparedness. Even though these differences do exist,350 and inte'im findings are part of the same FEMA review and evaluation process. This FEMA review and evaluation used NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1, Supp.1, November 1987, as the basis (planning j standards and specific criteria) for determining the adequacy of the New Hampshire ] Yankee Seabrook Plan and Preparedness for Massachusetts Communities. FEMA I riv
W f R $ x,o Mqg May 1988.' e 3 g W[ Guidance. Memoranda' (GM) and. FEMA REP-series documents were utilized to interpret, (clarify, and evaluate the criteria contained in Supplement 1. a fx INTRODUCTION - Following is a' summary of the material that has been submitted to FEMA for review 'and evaluation: . On. September 18,'.1987, the Public Service.of New Hampshire, New Hampshire g" ~. Yankee (NHY), su'omitted to the NRC Revision 0 of the "Seabrook Plan for Massachusetts Communities," hereafter referred to as the Plan. The Plan consisted of 10 volumes.~ The volumes i are as. follows: Plan; Procedures;' Plan Appendixes i through G; Plan ~ Appendix H Plan Appendix I; Plan Appendix J; Plan Appendix K; han Appendix L; Plan Appendix M;' Plan Appendix N;' and u6e envelope with Public Information Materials. It should.be noted thht certain proprietary information was redacted from the submitted
- material, i
f On November-27,1987,. the NRC forwarded the Plan to FEMA. Under provisions J 'of the. FEMA /NRC MOU,' the NRC requested FEMA to review the Plan and provide { . findings (interim finding). The NRC requested that FEMA utilize the Supplement 1 .j terit'eria document as the basis for FEMA's review, evaluation, and FEMA findings. ,: On December 2,1987, the NRC supplemented its November 27,1987 request to . FEMA. The NRC requested FEMA to use the following assumption in reviewing and evaluating the Plan: FEMA should assume that in an actual radiological emergency, F State and local officials that have declined to participate in emergency planning will: . exercise their best efforts to protect the health and safety of the public; cooperate with ' the-utility and follow. the utility offsite plan; and have the resources sufficient to implement those portions of the utility offsite plan where State and local response is necessary. On December 18, 1987, NHY wrote the NRC, stating, that NHY expected NRC and FEMA to utilize Supplement 1 interim criteria document for the Federal review and evaluation.. On December 30, 1987, NHY provided to the NRC certain information that was j redacted from Revision 0 of the Plan. ] l On December 30, 1987, FEMA Region I requested the Regional Assistance ] Committee (RAC) and the FEMA staff to review the Plan. FEMA Region I designated ) Mr. Richard W. Donovan ~to serve as the RAC Chairman and to serve as the FEMA staff for the review and evaluation of the Plan. On -January 7,1988 the Deputy Assistant General Counsel for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission notified interest parties that the Alerting System (sirens in the plume EPZ portion of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) described in the Plan will no longer be relied upon by NHY. xv
May 1988 l On January 15, 1988, the RAC Chairman for the Review of the Plan requested j that,the FEMA Region i RAC utilize Supplement I for their review. The RAC Chairman j informed the RAC that the following assumptions were to be applied to the review and evaluation' of the Plan: in an actual radiological emergency, State and local officials that have declined to participate in emergency planning will: exercise their best efforts to protect the health and safety of the public; cooperate with the utility and follow the utility offsite plan; and have the resources sufficient to implement those portions of the { utility offsite plan where State and local response is necessary. 1 On February 12, 1988, the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, New hmpshire Yankee Division, provided additional information in response to the NRC letter, dated February 5,1988. The following information was provided: Seabrook Station Evacuation Time Estimates and Traffic Management Plan; Documentation on the Seabrook MET PAC Computer Software Package in the back up HP-41 CX Calculato. j EPROM System (these systems provide the means to evaluate the consequences of an off-site radioactive airborne release / Summary of the NHY ORO Training classes, dated ) 2/8/88; the draft Farmers Brochure," Emergency Information for Farmers," and a copy of l the existing MA Dept. of Agriculture's Farmers Brochure; a copy of the Yankee Atomic Environmental Laboratory Procedures and a copy of the Yankee Mutual Assistance Plan; NHY ORO lesson plans as referenced in Section 7.6 of the Pira; status report on preparedness efforts for Special Populations in the Massachusetts Communities; and a status report on congregate care facilities /American Red Cross. On February 16, 1988, the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, New ' Hampshire Yankee Division, provided plan updates, referred to as Amendment 1. On February 19, 1988, the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Yankee Division, provided plan updates, referred to as Amendment 2. On April 1, 1988, the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, New i Hampshire Yankee Division, provided plan updates, referred to as Amendraent 3. On April 14, 1988, the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Yankee Division, provided plan updates, referred to as Amendment 4. / i REVIEW SPECIFICS The review and evaluation of the Seabrook Plan and Preparedness for Massachusetts Communities is attached. The format is a repeat of the planning standard and specific criteria of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1, Supp. #1, followed by a statement, Plans and Procedures reference, and an evaluation section. The evaluation section contains an evaluation which will be one of the following: 1. " Adequate" 2. " Inadequate" 3. " Adequate /Not Applicable" xvi
L w 4, May 1998 [h 3.. The evaluation of criteria elet. tent G.1 (public information material) was inade in accordance with "A Guide to Preparing Emergency Public Information Materials," FEMA-REP-11 (June 1987)., FEMA-REP-11 became official FEMA guidance for such evaluations pursuant to a July-10, 1987 memorandum to all Regional Directors from'the Deputy Associate Director,; State : and Local Programs and. Support Directorate, entitled " Regional Periodic Review of REP Public Information Material." n .The following assumption as applied to the review and evaluation of the Seabrook Plan ~ and Preparedness for Massachusetts Communities: in an.-actual radiological emergency, State and local' officials that have declined.to participate in emergency. planning will exercise their best efforts to protect the health and safety of the public; cooperate with'the utility and follow the Utility Offsite Plan; and have the resources sufficient to implement those portions of the. utility Offsite Plan where State and local-I response is necessary.. y I

t 2 1 May 1938 PLANNING STANDARDS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA A. Assignment of. Responsibility (Organization Control) (Planning Standard A): 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 supporting organizations have l, been specifically established, and each principal response'ergani::ation has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis. l Evaluation Criteria 'A.1.a. The offsite plan shalb, identify the elements of the offsite response organization for Emergency Planning Zones (see Appendix 5 of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1).1 Statement t.. A.1.a. The Plan (Table 2.0-1) defines the offsite response organization as including the' New Hampshire Yankee Offsite Response Organization (NHY ORO), supported by the U.S. Coast Guard, the DOI, the Federal Aviation Administration,' the American Red
- Cross, and various private organizations.
Although Table 2.0-1 Indicates that NHY ORO communicates with the USCG and the FAA, the Plan states in Section 3.1 that "[r]equests to the U.S. Coast Guard and Federal Aviation Administration will be coordinated through the host state for Seabrook, l New. Hampshire." The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the City of i Newburyport, and the Towns of Amesbury, Merrimac, Newbury, Salisbury, and West Newbury are not currently participating in emergency planning { for Seabrook Station. The Plan includes the American Red Cross as a participating organization and the Red Cross has stated in a letter to NHY dated September 10, 1987 that it will respond in case of an emergency. However, a discussion on February 23, 1988 between FEMA staff and Red Cross Southern New England Temporary Staff indicated that the Red Cross is not presently participating in this planning process. The Plan has been developed in recognition of, and to compensate for the fact that the ) Commonwealth of Massachusetts and above mentioned local communities { are not cuantly participating in emergency planning for the Seabrook ( Station.. Portions of the State of New Hampshire and the Commonwealth IOffsite response organization is defined as the utility offsite emergency response ) organization along with other participating voluntary and private organizations, and i local, State and Federal governments engaging in the development of offsite emergency plans for a nuclear power plant.

A flow chart, Figure 3.1-1, dep'fets how the NHY ORO will function - with nonparticipating Commonwealth and local governments i during a radiological emergency. The Plan states that the NHY ORO will function in one of three Modes. Following is a brief description of the three modes: 1 Standby Mode - Standby and continue eccident assessment and monitor State / local response; Mode 1 - Supplies needed resources only; I Mode 2 - Implements specific authorized actions, supplies any needed a resources, integrates response into State / local response; or takes control. Integrates NHY, State, local, and Federal Response into Seabrook Plan for Massachusetts Communities. L Plan Reference 'A.I.b. Section 3.1 and Figure 3.1-1. I _ = = _ _ _ - _ - _

The offsite response organization shall' establish a system for disseminating to the public appropriate. information contained in initial and followup messages received from the licensee including the appropriate notification-to appropriate-broadcast media, e.g., the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). Statement 'E.S. The primary s stem for disseminating information to the public is EBS. In event of -an emergency, the NHY ORO Offsite Response Director will request authority from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to utilize EBS. to broadcast emergency information and instructions to the public. Each . instruction message broadcast over fed will also be released as a news release by the Media Center. The identified EBS radio station does not have adequate capability. The current capability does not include the ability to record and broadcast emergency instructions and information to the public. The identified EBS station does not have a backup power supply at this time, f The Public Notification Coordinator, once the NHY ORO is activated, begins preliminary planning with the Radiological Health Advisor and the Technical Advisor regarding the possible PARS. Upon the orders of the NHY Offsite Response Director, the Public Notification Coordinator selects the appropriate EBS message, completes the appropriate sections, reviews the message with the NHY Offsite Response Director, coordinates the message with the State of New Hampshire, obtains NHY Offsite Response Director's approval for broadcasting the EBS message, coordinates the activation of the Public Notification Staff, faxes the EBS message ' to the EBS radio station, requests the EBS radio station to broadcast the message three times consecutively, and then every L 15 minutes thereafter. The Public Notification Coordinator has the responsibility to direct the Communications Coordinator to activate the siren system and to advise the Special Population Coordinator on the need to initiate notification of hearing-tmpaired people. Actual broadcast of the message is monitored by the Public Notification Coordinator. The Public Notification Coordinator also supplies copies of the EBS message to the Public Information Advisor, the Support Services Coordinator, and the l Special Population Coordinator.

- F.1.d.
The Plan' provides for three communications links.with each of three ,1 Seabrook Station facilities: ; the control room, the Technical Support ] Center, -and the EOF. These links. are NAS, Dimension 2000, and commercial telephone. These systems are located in the Communications Room of the NHY ORO EOC and are manned by-the NHY ORO EOC Contact or the NAS Communicator. The primary communications link with the radiological monitoring teams and sample collection teams is-the Public Service of New Hampshire u (PSNH) Radio Network, with commercial. telephone' as backup. The NHY ORO EOC staff person with responsibility for communicating with the field monitoring teams and sample. collection teams is the Field Team Dispatcher, who rgorts to the Accident Assessment Coordinator. The Figure showing the layout of.the NHY ORO EOC (Figure 5.2-2) indicates that they occupy adjacent desks in the Offsite Radiological Assessment ' Room..This Figure shows the Field Team Dispatcher's desk to be equipped - with 'a commercial' telephone,- but not with the primary communications link,'the PSNH radio. The. Plan addresses communications between the NHY ORO EOC and the Staging Area, the Emergency Worker Facility, the Reception. Centers, and the Monitoring Trailers at the Reception Centers. For all these facilities, -one communications link is the NHY ORO Emergency Radio Network, which consists of four paired frequencies. For the Emergency Worker Facility and Monitoring Trailers another communications link is cellular mobile telephone. We could not locate the Legend on Fig. 4.0-1 for cellular mobile telephones. For the Staging Area and Reception Centers, commercial telephone is another communications link. For the Congregate Care Centers, commercial telephone is the only communications link specified. From the Figure showing the layout of the Staging Area (Figure 5.2-4), it has 20 commercial telephones, an Emergency Medical Service (EMS) radio, and four ORO Emergency radios. Special Vehicle Dispatchers, Evacuation Support Dispatchers, Local EOC Liaisons, Special Population Liaisons, and School Liaisons share telephones (two per extension). The figures showing the layout of the Monitoring Trailers (Figure 5.2-9) and the Emergency Worker Facility (Figure 5.2-10) do not show any communications equipment in these trailers. From the figures showing the layout of the Reception Centers (Figures 5.2-6 and 5.2-8), there are at least two telephones and two NHY ORO Emerdency radio frequencies at each Reception Center. One telephone is for the Reception Center Leader; the other communications j equipment are manned by Reception Center Staff. A )

The numbers of buses, ambulances, and vans required are tabulated in Appendix M. See comments under J.10.d. IP 1.3, 1.9, 1.10, 2.10, and 2.11 provide guidanc'e and control for i implementing evasuation protective actions. The Staging Area Leader is responsible 'for briefing personnel dispatched to bus yards. The Bus Company Liaison is responsible for obtaining buses to support the evacuation of general and Special Populations. The Bus Company Dispatchers,12 persons as stated in Figure 2.1-1, are responsible for _taking Bus Driver Packets to bus yards, briefing bus drivers, and overseeing the dispatch of buses. The Bus Company Dispatcher is to take Dosimetry Record Keepers to the assigned bus yards. Appendix M indicates that there are _16 bus companies. We could not determine how many bus yards there were. The Route Guide procedure (Attachment 3, IP 2.10) states that the Route Guides will report to the assigned bus yard with the Bus Company Dispatcher. The Special Vehicle Dispatcher is responsible for briefing ambulance / van drivers, assigning pickup points, and dispatching them from. the Staging Area. Transfer Point Dispatchers are responsible for assigning bus routes, assigning dosimetry to road crews, dispatching / briefing Route Guides and bus drivers who are assigned to Transfer Points. The Bus Company Liaison (1) is tasked to determine the availability of buses (16 bus companies), and the mobilization time. This information is to be recorded on Attachment 1 of IP 2.10. This form has the availability of equipment and the identified bus requirements by community for transient dependent, special facilities, and schools. When there are more bus companies and/or bus yards than Bus Dispatchers, IP 2.10 directs the Bus Company Liaison either to request buses from smaller bus companies to go i to designated bus yards for dispatch, or to request NHY ORO to provide additional Bus Dispatchers. The Bus Company Liaison must interface with the Special Population Coordinator and the School Coordinator in order to j determine the actual number of buses required for these groups of Special i Populations by community. l - The Route Guide procedure (Attachment 2, IP 2.10) calls for the Route Guides to check out radios in order to provide communications capabilities ~ for the buses.

p 69 May 1988 Statement J.10.1. An evacuation time study was performed for the entire plume exposure EPZ, including the six Massachusetts communities, Seabrook Station Evacuation Time Estimate Study (ETE). In the ETE, two Emergency Response Planning Areas (ERPAs) were defined to include the six Massachusetts communities: ERPA B, comprising Amesbury and Salisbury; and ERPA E, comprising Merrimac, Newbury, Newburyport, and West Newbury. Evacuation time estimates were calculated for these ERPAs. Although we located separate estimates for the Massachusetts beaches (ETE Table 10-9, p.10-11), these are not embodied in the relevant procedure for determining PARS (IP 2.5, ). Furthermore, we could not determine whether the evacuation time estimate included the entire Parker River National Wildlife Refuge in fts demand estimate and evacuation time estimate for Plum Island. We could not locate an evacuation time estimate for boaters. The overall evacuation time estimates for ERPAs B and E include the evacuation time estimates for transit-depenraent and special facility populations. Appendix 4 to NUREG 0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1 calls for both demand estimates and evacuation time estimates to be computed on a facility-by-facility basis. l IP 2.10 (Attachment 2) assigns priorities for evacuating special facilities. We could not locate in the Plan the methodology used to assign those priorities. NHY indicated during conversations with FEMA staff that the following methodology was used to assign priorities: schools were prioritized strictly based on distance from Seabrook Station. The hospitals were all considered high priority, both because there are only two, and because of the critier.lity of their population. The priorities were established on a town-specific basis, whereby each town has several ) priority levels, from highest (1) to lowest (4). However, individual evacuation time estimates for these fac.!11 ties were not included in the methodology for determining these priorities. We note that NHY ORO will consider recommending early evacuation of schools or closing of schools if they are not open at both a SAE and GE ECL. Traffic management and access control strategies were developed and based upon the ETE and are addressed in IP 110 and Appendix J. The ETE (pp.12-3 to 12-5) specifies a traffic impediment strategy that calls for placing tow trucks on the perimeter of the plume EPZ plus one location in Amesbury. The Traffic Management Plan (Appendix J and IP 2.10) specifies that tow trucks (road crews) are to be stationed at the transfer points. Only one of the transfer points (Merrimac) appears to be close to the recommended tow truck locations specified in the ETE (Table 12-1, p.12-5, No. 11). Therefore, we could not determine the effect of the
,. s l 1 70 May 1980 j J L placement of road crews upon the capability to remove traffic ' impediments ) because.. four of the five transfer points do not coincide with the i recommended tow truck locations.. l i The ETE specifies a strategy for providing transportation assistance to the transient dependent persons. This strategy specifies certain transfer point locations which may be different from those specified by the NHY ORO transportation plan (IP 2.10). Because different transfer point locations are used, the route travel times n.ee no longer consistent with the ETE strategy j (comparison of Table 11-8A, ETE, and Attachment 9, IP 2.10). l We note that NHY has assigned 51 buses to run the 26 bus routes and 13 buses to move people from the transfer points to the relocation centers. The Plan has committed 9 mor' buses (13 versus 4) than specified e in the ETE at the transfer points and the same number of buscs to the 26 bus routes. Therefore, the Plan provides greater capabilities to evacuate j transit dependent persons from the transfer points. However, we could not~ determine whether those additional capabilities compensate for the selection of different transfer points than those specified in the ETE. ) I Plan Reference J.10.1. IP 1.3; IP 2.10; Appendix J; and ETE. Evaluation J.10.1. Inadequate. We could not locate the evacuation time estimates for special facilities on a facility-by-facility basis.

NHY ORO has identified procedures for detecting contamination from the l quantitative field data collected by Sample Collection Teams and/or Field Monitoring Teams, and from laboratory analysis of the field samples. NHY ORO has procedures for developing Preventive and Emergency PARS. Preventive PARS are based on projected deposition patterns and Emergency PARS are based on the results of the laboratory analysis of the field samples. IP 2.6 contains two worksheets for calculatir; whether protective actions are called for (Attachment 2 for milk and drinking water; for other foods). IP 2.6 also contains attachments with preventive (#3) and emergency (#4) pas. NHY ORO has adopted the concept of operation for pas in the Ingestion Exposure EPZ as follows: PREVENTIVE PROTECTIVE ACTIONS: Recommend pas if the mehsured contamination of foodstuffs exceeds the preventive derived response levels. EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ACTIONS: Recommend pas if the measured contamination of foodstuffs exceeds the emergency c.erived response levels. 4 The Plan in Section 3.4.2 provides for ingestion PARS and pas to be communicated to the general public and food processors by means of news releases and EBS message.

Sample Collection Teams are directed to'take gamma and gamma / beta - surveys at waist height at each sample location. Samp!e Collection Teams are directed to take gamma / beta surveys at two inches above grornd at each sample location. The Sample Collection Teams have USGS maps for the ingestion exposure EPZ and maps for the plume exposure EPZ. A grid j system is used ior both maps. There are various procedures for the different types of samples. The milk sampling procec ure includes the required collection of necessary information on feeding protocol, volumes of milk in tanks from which the sample was taken, and times at which milk was added to the tank relative to the time of the accident.

APPENDIX.A A-A t.. 1 p. The Seabrook Plan for Massachusetts Communities contained the 1988-89 Emergency Plan Information Calendar and a variety of supporting materials. The following evaluation rating scheme identifies the rating system used to evaluate the Emergency Plan Information Calendar: Yes, fully meets identified criteria. Marginally acceotable; could be improved. l Inadecuate. Insufficient information to evaluate; item should be checked for consistency with FEMA criteria or for being acceptably addressed through another medium. i This report is divided into three categories: CATEGORY 1: These items are critical to the effectiveness of a public Information document. All items identified as not fully meeting the identified criteria (i.e., those items marked marginally acceptable, inadequate, or insufficient information) must be improved prior to pu'alication and distribution in 1988. n CATEGORY 2: These items are important to the effectiveness of a public information document. Items in this categcry identified as marginally acceptable, inadequate, or insufficient information, should be reviewed and revision considered prior to the 1988 distribution, CATEGORY 3: These items are enhancements to the overall quality of a public catergency information document. Items in the categories identified as marginally acceptable, inadequate, or insufficient information, should be reviewed and revision considered prior to distribution in 1988. Our evaluation of the Emergency Plan Information Calendar Document, in the order of FEMA-REP-11's Summary Guidance Checklist, is as follows: I l
APPENMX A A A-2 CATEGORY 1 CONTENT ' Evaluation Criteria Document has a clear emergency focus. It should tell the reader what to expect, in what sequence. It should tell what actions, in order of priority, should be taken if notification is given. Statement None. Evaluation Yes. Evaluation Criteria The content is consistent with the Emergency Plan ar.d EBS messages. l Statement NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1, specifies the criteria for development of Emergency Action Levels (EALs) ot which the four classes of emergency are declared. It is the responsibility of the reactor licensee (10 CFR 50, Appendix E. Part IV) to declare a specific class of emergency based on the EALs and to take the appropriate actions. Those actions include making prompt Protective . Action Recommenc'ations (PARS). The licensee's declared emergency classification cannot be changed by offsite c(ficials. It is the responsibility of offsite officials to make those Protective Actions (pas) necessary to protect the public. These actions should be consistent with the licensee's PARS. The Seabrook Plan for Massachusetts Communities, hereafter called the Plan, describes a PA Concept of Operation. This PA Concept of Operation specifies the early closure of beaches and the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge (only within the summer season), and the recommendation of pas on an ERP A basis (note, there are six communities in the Massachusetts portion of the l 1 plume Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ]). It also describes the fact that various Federal agencies will be responsible for effecting pas for the river and ocean waters within the plume EPZ (USCG), and for the portions of Plum Island under the control of the Department of the Interior. The Calendar does not specify that the public (permanent and transient) would have to evacuate the beaches at Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency (section on Background Information). The current Calendar does I
I j APPENDIX A A-3 l not state that the public may be asked to shelter at the SAE, nor does. it convey the impression that the shelter PA will cause most commerce in the l affected areas to cease operations (section on Background Information). The { Calendar does not advocate precautionary pas fer Special Populations (section l on Evacuation Plans for Special Groups), as recomment'ed by FEMA guidance. j Evalustion Inadequate. Evaluation Criteria There is a clear statement of purpose. Statement The statement of purpose is not clearly stated (page 1). The reader must infer the purpose of the document from the series of statements regarding the Emergency Plan. Evaluation Marginally acceptable. Evaluation Criteria If the Emergency Plan calls for an emergency phone number, it is given along with instructions on the procedures to be followed relative to its use. Be sure to distinguish " Hotline" numbers for use during emergencies as separate from information numbers during non-emergency times. Statement The current document does contain and reference spaces for " Emergency" and " Hotline" phone numbers. The document does contain phone numbers to call for additional information. Evaluation Yes. Evaluation Criteria There is a contact given for additional information. !L_ __ _ _ _ _ _.

L Statement L This information is presented in a question and answer format (pages 10 and 11). The questions are well chosen, simple, and sequenced to provide useful information. The information is largely in text form, and the language can be complex. Tables ant diagrams are used effectively to summarize certain information. The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements has revised its estimates of ionizing radiation exposure (NCRP Report #91). The amounts of radiation quoted in this section are not the current estimates. 1 Evaluation l-Marginally acceptable.

- 1) The map scale is' inadequate for a person to determine his/her evacuation-route.
Since this document is intended for residents. In Massachusetts communities, the applicable portions of the plume EPZ sr.ould be displayed !n an adequate format (scale). The scale should be adequate for a person.to read and determine their evacuation ' route..The map should' include labeling of arrows for evacuation routes. 2) The evacuation route for Salisbury (page 6)is Inconsistent with the route given in the Plan (Appendix J, p. S-19), and with the Salisbury TCPs, which divert such traffic west to.P.oute 110. Evaluation inadequate. ' Evaluation Criteria Transportation provisions.

Evaluation Criteria The information is logically sequenced. Statement The order.of presentation is appropriate if the raader progresses through the information in the intended sequence. There is a potential sequencing problem caused by the format. Many readers would progress from Page 1 to the page . directly below entitled "About Safety at Seabrook Station" instead of turning to Page 2 as intended. Also, readers not recognizing that a double-page format is used might tend, for example, to follow the section "How you would be told about an Emergency" with the reading of "The 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone" at the top of the next column instead of continuing down the left-hand column to the page below. This could prove especially frustrating to readers using the document at the time of an emergency. Note, if at all possible, readers should not have to make sequencing decisions. Evaluation Marginally acceptable. Evaluation Criteria information is clearly organized and relevant to the purpose of providing emergency guidance. Statement Overall the document is well-organized for the purpose of providing vital emergency information.

However, the separate and prominently displayed page "About' Safety at Seabrook" which hangs below the informational material'in the Calendar distracts _ fegm the Emergency Purpose. As mentioned above o ~' (Format), the awkward positioning of this page coupled with the double page format used in the document makes it likely that readers will unknowingly proceed to this page in the midst of reading vital emergency instructions and Information. Evaluation Margibally acceptable. COMPREHENSION FACTORS Evaluat'on Criteria The document layout is such that the text is easy to follow from paragraph to paragraph and from page to page. Page and section breaks a a consistent with the logic and organization of the material. Statement The double panel format of the opened pages causes the columns to read vertically down two pages instead of across horizontally. This format poses potential confusion for a reader in trying to determine where text begins;i.e., at the bottom of a double page and continue at the top of the next column. The potential for confusion could cause some readers to lose their places or read on to the wrong section. Evaluation Marginally acceptable. g .__c_

== Introduction:== Most-of 1the supplementary materials are intended. for f . distribution to the ; transient (population. Many of the-materials have been'.. produced in French and English versions _.due to Seabrook's proximity to the W.y Canadian border. The French versions 'are identical in format-and design to their English counterparts. Examination of the French translations reveals 1 that.they are accurate, use appropriate vocabulary, and.though written in.the French of France, they are(comprehensible. to Canadian French-speaking readers. Note, one'. error was found in the last French sentence of_ the 'large ' map poster; i.e., the unnecessary repetition of "En Cas." r.7 ' - The following revMw and evaluations are on the set of documents identified in p. the Plan as part of the Public Education Pregram. A FOLD-OUT BROCHURE ENTITLED MASSACHUSETTS EMERGENCY PLAN. INFORMATION This. brochure, printed in both English and French,-is apparently intended.for distribution to' the Massachusetts transient population. The document' is logically sequenced and simply worded (the reading level of most passages is 5th-6 th' grade). The content is.not appropriate for the intended audience. Provisions of this brochure'should enable transients to protect themselves in . the event of a nuclear emergency at Seabrook. The issues are as follows: the fold-out format, which can lead to inappropriate sequences, depending a on how the brochure is folded and opened, and which makes the brochure . awkward to use in a moving vehicle. the section on notification "How You Would be Told About an Emergency" ) . is inappropriate for the intended audience. For example, there is no j description of the Public Announcement mode for the sirens on the beaches j or a discussion of appropriate actions to take; and the document references i going indoors if the siren is heard, whereas most transients would either be in or on the waters, on the beaches, at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, or shopping in one of the communities. the map does not describe or indicate the appropriate evacuation routes. e the text of the evacuation route for Salisbury is inconsistent with that described in Appendix J. 1
'1 I A-21 APPENDIX A Attachment A EMERGENCY INFORMATION DECALS These deca.ls, available in both English and bilingual English/ French, use a simple format to provide a br.ef description of notification procedures and identification of EBS stations. Primarily intended for display at places of business and at special facilities, they are also mailed to EPZ residents and are a useful addition to the Calendar document. LETTER TO HOTEL / MOTEL / RESTAURANT OWNERS AND LETTER TO i EMPLOYERS These virtually identical letters request cooperation in distributing an accompanying set of materials (stickers, posters, brochures, etc ). The letters are straightforward, factual, and should pose no problems in interpretation. EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS FLYER FOR RESIDENTS OF MERRIMAC. MA. AND NEWTON, NH. This flyer consists of information taken from the text of the emergency [ brochure for Massachusetts and placed in an 8.5" x 11" back-to-back format. t It includes information about notification, EBS systems serving the area, l sheltering, evacuation, Reception Centers, procedures for school children and those with special needs. The flyer includes contact phone numbers for further information as well as the addresses for Reception Centers for the towns of Merrimac and Newton. There is no map of the plume EPZ provided. The flyer is action-oriented and well sequenced to provide emergency information to the reader. EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS FLYER FOR RESIDENTS OF AMESBURY, NEWBURY, NEWBURYPORT, SALISBURY, AND WEST NEWBURY, MA., AND SEABROOK AND SOUTH HAMPTON, NH. This flyer is identical to the one above except it is revised to include information relevant to appropriate towns. Since most of these communities border the beaches or have residents on the beaches, it is inadequate because it does not describe the concept of precautionary evacuation and/or shelter for the beaches. BILINGUAL ENGLISH/ FRENCH POSTER ENTITLED MASSACHUSETTS EMERGENCY PLAN INFORMATION This 11.5" x 13" poster includes renditions in both English and French of emergency action information for the area around Seabrook. It features a large and legible EPZ map with clearly marked evacuation routes, small inset maps indicating the location of Reception Centers, and written evacuation directions. If posted outdoors, it d 1d need to be printed in waterproof and fadeproof materials so that its legibility over a period of time could be ensured. Since most of these communities border the beaches or have

The card 'is a valuable. s s adjunct to the dissemination effort. h POSTER ENTITLED EMERGENCY INFORMATION,FOR SEABROOK STATIONL .This poster is apparently intended to be displayed in public places. The poster. provides information about'what to do if a siren is heard. - Specifically,; the ;eader is advised to tune to an EBS station for instructions. This-poster is bold, uncluttered, and effective in its format and design. A double sized bilingual version is also provided. POSTERS ENTITLED MASSACHUSETTS EMERGENCY PLAN INFORMATION .WITH EPZ MAP 4 .q.,. These large,.17.5" x 23", and impressive posters provide a summary of emergency actions, school and bus route information, a clearly marked EPZ L map, and explicit evacuation instructions.. An English-only and a bilingual version is provided. These posters, if appropriately posted, could provide persons who are in places of work or leisure with secess to needed Information at the time of an emergency. Note, as mentioned above, the evacuation route description for Salisbury is inconsistent with that described in Appendix J of the Plan. FOLD-OUT POSTER T PE DOCUMENT ENTITLED EMERGENCY BUS INFORMATION p This 8.5" x 11" (opens to 17" x 22") poster-type document is produced in both English and French versions and provides specific bus route maps for six Massachusetts communities. The document is two-sided with detailed maps for three towns on each side. The maps are legible, and bus information is clearly presented. IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS POSTER OR AD This is a single page notice of a special needs survey in the area. Graphics and i typography are effectively used to reinforce the message. The distribution of j this notice to newspapers, social agencies, religious organizations, etc., should j assist in compiling a more complete database of special needs populations. I
A-23 APPENDIX A Attact..ent A 4... J' ' SIGNS Descriptions of signs were not provided. It is our assumption that the i Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the local communities would not allow such signs to be erected on the public beaches, boat launch ramps, etc. However, an appropriate sign should be erected for those persons entering the Parker River National Wildlifs Refuge on Plum Island. j EMERGENCY INFORMATION FOR FARMERS This document could serve as the public education document for the entire Seabrook Ingestion EPZ. The document is prepared on the basis of a joint l Issuance between NHY ORO, the State of New Hampshire, and the State of Maine. It centains a 24-hour information Hotline and contains rumor control I numbers for eeth organization. The document describes the means of notification for those farmers living within the plume EPZ and it describes the f means of notification for those farmers living between 10 and 50 miles. The document descrioes Protective Actions for persons and for farm animals. The document describes a process for reentry into an evacuated area in the event farmers need to return to their farms. The document describes the two levels of emergency actions that could be taken in the event there was measured contamination in foodstuffs. The document contains advice for assisting the farmers in preparing an emergency plan for their farms. 4 4 i I l i}}
