I. INTRODUCTION In its Memorandum and Order (Summary Disposition), LBP-89-09, dated March 3, 1989, this Board granted in part s Applicants' Motion for Summary Disposition of all emergency I
planning contentions related to the Prompt Alert and Notification System (PANS) for that portion of the Seabrook Station EPZ residing within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The issues remaining include the acceptability of the sound pressure levels generated by the Vehicular Alert and Notification System (VANS), and whether VANS satisfies the design objective of essentially completing the initial notification of the public within about 15 minutes. Memorandum and Order at-37-38. This testimony I addresses these remaining issues.
Section II cites the applicable regulatory requirements and guidance documents that concern the design of a PANS.
Section III references the documents which describe the system design and concept of operations. Sections IV and V address the issues of fact remaining after the Memorandum and Order as follows:

The Commission's requirements for PANS is contained in i i
10 C.F.R. 50. 47 (b) (5) and Appendix E to.10 C.F.R. 50. As provided in Appendix E a PANS shall meet the following:
The desian obiective of the prompt public notification system
= shall be to have the capability to essentially complete the initial notification of the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ within about 15 minutes. (Emphasis added.)
In addition to these regulations there are four guidance documents which provide further criteria concerning the design of a PANS. These documents are: NUREG-0654 FEMA REP-1, Rev. 1; NUREG-0654 FEMA REP-1, Rev. 1 Supp. 1; FEMA REP-10; and FEMA Guidance Memorandum (GM) AN-1.
I III. SYSTEM DESIGN AND CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS The design of the PANS for Seabrook Station is described in the "Seabrook Station Public Alert and Notification System", FEMA REP-10 Design Report and Addendum 1 to this report (Applicants' Exhibits 11A & 11B). The concept of operations and how PANS will be implemented for that portion of the EPZ within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is 8

performed by the VANS and the notification or informational message function is performed by the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). The specific planning information and procedures concerning these functions are contained in Plan l

IV. SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS Four factual questions remain concerning the adequacy of the sound pressure levels. Memorandum and Order at 9-10.
The following facts address each of the issues raised in A.1: ,
FEMA has approved the design of the NHY Public i
1.
Alert and Notification System.
- 2. Siren rated output is not equivalent to sound levels received by the public.
- 4. When the VANS sirens are activated at the normal height of 51', no person on the ground can be I exposed to sound pressure levels in excess of 123 dBC.
- 5. The perception of discomfort is not defined by sufficient quantifiable and measurable criteria.
I -4 I
l I
g
- 6. Important effects of a siren signal on people are functions of the duration frequency and maximum sound pressure level. Together, sound level, duration and frequency define the effective energy of exposure to a siren signal.
- 7. The 123 dBC guidance parameter in NUREG-0654 can be i
equated to an effective energy of exposure to 1
compare with the VANS system's parameters. '
- 8. The VANS sirens provide adequate sound coverage without being a cause of any undue discomfort or auditory fatigue.
- 9. In the rare case (an immediate Site Area Emergency or General Emergency requiring immediate protective action recommendations and immediate authorization by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) that the sirens were activated at a height of 25', a person could be briefly exposed to sound pressure levels above 123 dBC.
In order to clarify the difference between the rated sound output of sirens and the sound level to which bystanders might be exposed, one can draw an analogy between the sound emanating from the horn of a siren and the light from a flashlight. A flashlight produces a focused beam of light. Some light is shed to the side of this beam but the amount is less than that within the beam. Similarly the I -e-I m
l I
4 sound from the horn of a siren is focused into a beam and less sound is radiated to the sides of the beam.
Sirens are normally rated in terms of the maximum sound levels observed in the focused beam of sound, at 100 feet
_ from the siren. Hence in the case of the VANS siren it is rated at 134 dBC at 100 feet in the main beam. However, because the siren is elevated above the ground, the sound level to which bystanders might be exposed is generally less 1
than the rated sound output of the siren, just like the light received from a flashlight would be less than in its main beam if the flashlight shined over their heads.
In this regard it should be noted that there are several nuclear power plant EPZ's in the country where such high-power sirens are used to alert the public. For example, FEMA and the NRC have approved the use of ACA Penetrator-50 sirens at Clinton Power Station. FEMA accepted the ACA Penetrator-50 siren as being correctly rated at an output of 132 dBC at 100 feet from the siren.
A. The NHY PANS Meets the Design Objective NUREG-0654, App. 3 at 3-8, states that:
"The maximum sound levels received by any member of the F public should be lower than 123 dB, the level which may cause discomfort to individuals."
In nearly all of the situations involving the activation of the sirens there will be more than sufficient I -e-I
1 E
I time for the VANS vehicles to transit from the staging areas to their accoustic locations and raise the siren to the normal operating height prior to siren activation. Once fully deployed the VANS functions exactly as a pole-mounted siren system and the sound pressure levels at ear-level will not exceed the 123 dBC guidance.
A height of 45 feet (centerline of siren) was used as l
l~ the basis for sound coverage analysis, although the actual siren height achieved by the VANS vehicles is approximately 51 feet. This additional 6 feet of siren height will result in greater coverage than calculated for a 45 foot siren height because the sound will encounter fewer barriers along its projected path. This additional 6 feet will, however, further reduce the maximum sound level for nearby bystanders by 1 to 2 dB depending on distance from the base of the siren. Therefore, at the normal operating height of the siren, bystanders will be exposed to direct sound pressure levels of less than 123 dBC.
The VANS vehicles are dispatched from the staging areas to the acoustic locations by the EOC Contact at an ALERT (the second lowest of the Emergency Classification Levels) or higher emergency classification irrespective of whether a protective action decision has been recommended or even made.
This early dispatching of the VANS vehicles provides additional assurance that the sirens will be stationed at I
I -
their specified acoustic locations and at the normal operating height prior to actual receipt of the siren activation signal.
Even in the case of the fast-breaking emergency, it has ,
been demonstrated by the numerous time test.s that 15 of the VANS vehicles (all but VL-16S) can arrive at their assigned locations, raise the sirens to the normal operating height and still be able to complete the 3 minute siren activation within 15 minutes.
B. The Significance of Discomfort Discomfort reactions from sound, other than, to a considerable extent, discomfort from pain, are variable among people and for the same person from time to time. To a first approximation such reactions or perceptions are generally related to a subjective judgment of unpleasant or excessive loudness. What is considered excessive is dependent upon the purpose or meaning of the signal. For a siren warning-alert signal it is surmised that, short of the intensity capable of causing discomfort from pain, the louder the signal the more effective it will be for alerting purposes. The upper bound of discomfort from exposure to intenne sounds, such as siren signals, can be identified as the : almum intensity tha' causes auditory system pain. .
Exposure of the ear to loud sounds can fatigue the sensory receptors in the ear, causing some temporary loss or I
I h
I shift in the ability of the ear to detect very weak sounds.
! Auditory fatigue can be used as a measure of " discomfort" for ;
)
hearing sensitivity. Temporary shift in hearing sensitivity is jointly determined by the frequency intensity and duration
)
of a sound. Doubling the amount of time during a day when a
) 4 l given sound is present will, to a first approximation, have I l
the same effect on temporary threshold shift as will 2-increasing by 6 dB the intensity of the signal but keeping l
the duration the same. These shifts in hearing sensitivity
)
are measured by the increase in intensity required to make audiometer test tones barely audible in the absolute quiet after, as compared to before, exposure to an intense sound of
} sufficient duration to cause a threshold shift. If sufficiently large and often repeated (from near daily exposures over years), temporary threshold shifts can become permanent losses in hearing sensitivity. For this reason, the " discomfort" effect on the threshold of hearing I
sensitivity was the fundamental criterion behind CPG 1-17, the apparent source for NUREG-0654.
Possible adverse effects of the warning-alert signal upon the ear can be estimated from the results of studies in f
/ which person were exposed, under laboratory conditions, to a wide variety of sounds and noise of different spectra, intensities, durations and temporal patterns. It was standard practice in most of these studies to express the 5 I
)
described amount of threshold shift, if any, that remains two minutes after cessation of the exposure condition. This was called TTS2.
It is concluded on the basis of the CHABA and subsequent relevant TTS data, that the effective sound energy exposure l
level from the VANS operating at a height of 51 feet, 550 Hz, '
rotating at 2.5 rpm for 3 minutes with nominal peak level of 123 dBC at a listener is some 13 dB less than the level that that will cause on the average TTS2 of no more than 10 dB for
, l the audibility of a 1000 Hz tone in the absolute quiet.
Temporary threshold shifts of this magnitude occur.from everyday sound exposures. They go unnoticed by people I because they last but a few minutes and do not affect the perception of sounds of ordinary. intensity.
The second source of relevant information, NIPTS, specifies the amounts of noise induced permanent threshold shifts that occur, or accrue, to pure-tone hearing sensitivity in the quiet as the result of long-term exposures to intense sounds and noises. These results come from
) threshold measurements made, for the most part, on people who have been exposed to noise in industry and the military l
/ services. Using research data and other studies of TTS and l NIPTS following exposure to tones and frequency bands of
)
noise, generalized curves were established that depicted the i intensities and durations of tones that would cause a TTS2 of
l i
no more than 10 dB for different test frequencies. These functions were considered and approved by the Committee on Hearing and Bioacoustics (CHABA) of the National Academy of Sciences as representing, according to then available research data, the quantitative nature of the temporary effects of sound on the threshold of hearing.
Technical standards and guidelines have been developed on the basis of NIPTS data that specify the apparent risks to hearing from exposure to occupational noises. An example of applying NIPTS concepts for exposure to sounds may be found in the Department of Labor's " Occupational Safety and Health Standards", 29 C.F.R. 1910. This regulation has promulgated standards for daily worker exposure to noise that are similar in concept to what has been discussed above for public exposure to siren sound levels. Appendix A to 29 C.F.R. 1910 contains Table G-16a which presents allowable reference durations for worker exposure to A-weighted sound levels from 80 to 130 dBA. The following comparative table was developed from Table G-16a.
OSHA Sound Levels OSHA Reference Duration dBA dBC1 hours seconds h 110 113 0.5 1800 115 118 0.25 900 t
120 123 0.125 450 125 128 0.063 225 130 133 0.031 112.5 1
I i
I Note 1. At a frequency of 550 Hz, the factor for converting A-weighted sound level in dB to C-weighted second level in dB values is +3 dB.
This table demonstrates equivalent physical effects of I exposure to various sound pressure levels: a 450 second exposure to 123 dBC is equivalent to exposure to 133 dBC for 112.5 seconds.
In the Memorandum and order two factual questions were left to be resolved:
Whether sound levels in excess of 123 dBC cause enouch discomfort so that the Board should not approve the use of sirens at a higher level of sound. (Emphasis added). Memorandum and Order at 9.
If there is some level higher than 123 dBC that the Board should allow, what is that level? Memorandum and order at 10.
The reference 123 dBC limit for discomfort in NUREG-0654 is identical to and appears to have been taken from the 123 dB limit recommended to avoid hearing damage in FEMA publication CPG 1-17. It is reasonable to conclude that the selection of the precise value of 123 dBC was not mere coincidence but a deliberate decision by the authors of NUREG-0654 to use 6. hat number specified in CPG 1-17. This is reasonable especially in light of the conspicuous and I .
numerous references to CPG 1-17 throughout Appendix 3 of NUREG-0654.
David Keast, the author of CPG 1-17, derived the 223 dB R limit "to assure that no person is likely to be subject to a sound level great enough to cause hearing damage" (CPG 1-17 at p. 8). The background document to CPG 1-17, BBN Report No. 4100, which Keast also prepared (also cited on pp. 3-8 of NUREG-0654), points out that the 123 dB limit was chosen from Figure 3 of Karl D. Klyter, " Hazardous Exposure to Intermittent and Steady - State Noise", Report of Working Group (WG) - 4 6, National Academy of Science - National Research Council (NAS-NRC), Committee on Hearing,
! Bioacoustics, and Biomechanics, January, 1965 [ referred to hereinafter as the "Kryter WG-46 Report"). This 123 dB limit applies to a daily exposure, over a 10 year period, to a 1000Hz tone for 1 1/2 minutes or less. It is clear from Figure 3 in the Kryter WG-46 Report, copied as Figure 4.3 in BBN Report 4100, that the 123 dB limit is conservative for sirens operating at frequencies below 1000 Hz. For example, h the 123 dBC value is a frequency of 1000Hz on the 1 1/2 minute contour of Figure 3. For the VANS frequency of 550 Hz, the corresponding value is 127 dBC.
! In addition to sound frequency, the time duration of f
exposure to sound is important in establishing limits for sound levels. The most appropriate means now available for l
the purpose of objectively setting upper limits of exposure and discomfort to siren signals is to use the 123 dB in NUREG-0654 as a reference for exposure and to compute a comparative exposure for the reference source and a proposed siren system.
The comparison can be computed using the Temporary Threshold Shift (TTS) method. A comparison between the reference expressed in NUREG-0654 and the VANS siren system is as follows:
Reference VANS ,
Maximum sound level received: Maximum Sound Level Received:
123 dBC 131 dBC**
Frequency: 1000 Hz 550 Hz Non-Rotating Rotating 2.5 times per min.
Duration of Sound: 3.0/1.5 min.* 3 min.
TTS2 3.0 minutes: 18 dBC TTS2: 3 to 4 dBC (Negligible)
TTS2 1.5 minutes: 12 dBC
- 3 minute duration per NUREG-0654.
1 1/2 minute duration per BBN-4100
The TTS2 for the average listener from an exposure to the reference system would be about 18 dB for a 3-minute duration and 12 dB for a 1 1/2 minute duration. These I
1 i
amounts of temporary threshold shift would last for only a brief period (43 minutes for a 3 minute duration and 12 l
minutes for a 1 1/2 duration). There would be negligible TTS2 effects expected from exposure to the VANS.
Furthermore, at a full height of 51 feet the TTS2 would be even less than the-TTS2 cited above. The VANS therefore, ,
I will provide adequate sound coverage without being a cause of any undue discomfort and would cause less auditory fatigue than the reference limit of 123 dBC in NUREG-0654.
)
In the rare situation (immediate SAE or GE requiring immediate protective action recommendation and immediate authorization by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) that the
)
VANS sirens could be sounded at a height of 25', as illustrated by the table above, the maximum sound exposure will be for someone who is standing along the siren axis and located nbout 90 feet from the base of the siren. A person at this location could be initially exposed to 131 dBC as the siren rotates past their position. By the time the siren has rotated back to that starting position the siren will have elevated to approximately 45 feet. With the siren at 45 feet a person at 90 feet will then be exposed to a sound pressure level of approximately 123 dBC. During the next oscillation
[ and for all subsequent oscillations the siren will have risen I
to over 45 feet and the person at 90 feet will be exposed to l
a sound pressure level of approximately 120 dBC. (See Attachment H)
The sound pressure level to which the public may be exposed would briefly (less than four seconds) exceed the suggested guidance in NUREG-0654 that such sound levels "should be lower than 123 dB, the level which may cause discomfort to individuals." As explained above, the rather brief exposure of the public to sound pressure levels above 123 dB is far less harmful or discomforting to the public than would be the continuous exposure to a 123 dBC siren tone for 3-5 minutes as permitted by the suggested guidance of NUREG-0654.
C. Reflection of Sound In response to Item A.1-4 of the Board's order, we agree that there is a possibility of a member of the public, while standing in certain positions close to a building, to hear simultaneously the VANS siren sound and also some sound reflected from the building. This reflected sound could, under exceptional conditions cause a person to hear an increased siren sound level. In reality, atmospheric effects such as wind, temperature gradients, turbulence, and diffraction of signals around the human head will reduce the theoretical effects of constructive interference of ref]octed sound waves received by a listener standing close to a large structure. The actual effect of reflection will depend upon
i i
(1) the siren height in relation to both structure and j
listener, (2) the angle of incidence of the sound at the structure and at the listener, (3) the relative distances between siren, structure and listener, (4) the directivity of the siren and (5) the reflective properties.of the surface of the structure. Theoretically, if a listener has his head positioned at certain locations near a building surface, one could experience an increase in sound pressure level of up to 6 dB. This theoretical increase in sound level diminishes to zero as the listener moves away from the structure and atmospheric effects impact the sound dispersion.
From a planning standpoint, this theoretical increase in sound pressure level is of very limited concern because of the limited area potentially affected and the remote probability of a person being at the precise position with the precise conditions at the precise time necessary to cause this affect.
D. Conclusion Item A.1-1 of the Board's order asks whether ". . .
sound levels in excess of 123 dBC cause enough discomfort so that the Board should not approve the use of sirens at a higher level of sound?". It goes on to ask the more general question: "What standard should the Board apply to determine
[
I the possible relevance of discomfort?" We maintain that l these questions appear to have been answered by the drafters 1
l l
of Appendix 3 in NUREG-0654. The drafters determined that the limit for discomfort should be equal to the threshold for j
hearing damage risk, and we recommend that the Board retain this limit but expressed more precisely in the terms of sound f l
level, frequency and time duration, specifically TTS2.
Item A.1-2 of the Board's order asks: "If there is some level higher than 123 dBC that the Board should allow, what is that level?" We recommend that the Board allow sound exposures to the public that do not exceed those analogous to the 123 dBC guidance of NUREG-0654. This 123 dBC guidance limit would produce a TTS2 of 12 dB. In addition we recommend that the public not be exposed to sound levels in excess of about 135 dBC, the threshold of pain.
Item A.1-3 of the Board's order asks: "Whether the Applicants' sirens can provide adequate coverage if used at sound levels that are not unduly uncomfortable?" As acknowledged by the Board, the VANS comply with the sourd coverage criteria of NUREG-0654. The preceding discussions of the discomfort effects on the threshold of hearing f sensitivity demonstrate that no member of the public will be subjected by the VANS to sound pressure levels that would cause undue discomfort.
Item A.1-4 of the Board's order asks: "Whether Applicants' position on the sound level resulting from their sirens is an underestimate because of sound reflection from
I l
l
)
1 buildings?" Applicants' agree that there are theoretical factors that could, in exceptional circumstances, cause an i
increase in received sound levels due to reflectivity. The occurrence of this reflectivity effect requires that an individual be in specific positions at the specific time of a siren sounding. The possibility of this occurring is sufficiently small that it is inappropriate as a design basis and as such is not called for or considered in any regulations or guidance documents. Futhermore, even in a worst case scenario, the sound level received by any member of the public from the VANS sirens, as a result of the~
effects of reflection would still be below the acceptable levels that the Applicants have specified in response to Item A.1-2.
V. 15 MINUTE DESIGN OBJECTIVE
> As described in the FEMA REP-10 Design Report, Addendum 1, for Seabrook Station, the duration of the VANS alerting function can be determined by summing the time to alert the operators (alert time), the time to dispatch the vehicles from the staging arcas (dispatch time), the time to travel from the staging areas to the acoustic locations (transit time), the time to raise the sirens at the acoustic locations (setup time), and the time to provide the alerting
)
signal (siren activation time). The Board has concluded that
the following are not issues of fact (Memorandum and Order at 25):
Phase Facts Not In Dispute Alert Time A.5-a Transit Time A.5-f
'A.5-g A.5-1 A.5-1 A.5-m A.5-n Setup Time A.5-p Siren Sounding Time A.5-r The following addresses only those timing issues which, as a result of the Memorandum and Order, are still in dispute.
A. Dispatch Time The length of time it would take the drivers to take the necessary actions before their vehicles leave their station during conditions likely to prevail at the time of dispatch is a factual question which remains to be addressed.
Memorandum and Order at 24. This item was referred to as the time to dispatch the VANS vehicle.
A number of actions have been taken to assure that VANS operators (i.e., the drivers) will be alert at the time the
! VANS staging areas are notified to promptly dispatch h
vehicles. These actions, discussed in more detail below,
).
include staffing policies, the training of VANS operators and advance warning of operators at lower emergency 1
1
I I classifications. The Board has found that procedural requirements are in place to ensure vehicle readiness.
Memorandum and Order Finding A.5-b at 25.
In order to ensure a prompt response by the VANS operators to a notification to dispatch vehicles, each driver is trained and qualified prior to assuming the role of a VANS operator. Each of the operators will be trained in the I proper implementation of the applicable procedure (IP 2.16, see Attachment G), the proper use of communications equipment, emergency response equipment and the VANS vehicle including auxiliary equipment. This training program also includes familiarizing the operators with each VANS staging area and each route between the staging arca and the acoustic locations. Each VANS operator will be subjected to periodic training and annual re-qualification to this training program.
In addition, IP 2.16 requires the VANS operator to perform established procedural steps when assuming his duty station at the staging area. These non-emergency (ongoing) actions required of each o'perator provide additional assurances that the operators will respond promptly to a notification to dispatch as trained.
NHY ORO maintains the 24-hour per day staffing capability through continuous manning of the VANS staging areas. NHY maintains a total shift complement of one I
i l
I l
supervisor and twenty-four VANS operators. The primary VANS shift complement consists of the one supervisor and twenty VANS operators assigned as the primary drivers for the sixteen primary VANS vehicles. In addiction to the sixteen primary vehicles and twenty drivers, there are four backup i vehicles and four backup VANS operators located continuously at Seabrook Station. (There are two additional VANS vehicles which are assumed to be unavailable for maintenance and surveillance activities. ) This shift complement of twenty primary drivers ensures that an adequate number of drivers will be available to relieve the "on duty" operators. This.
primary shift complement of twenty VANS operators and four backup VANS operators from the onsite shift complement also ensures that there is an adequate number of drivers to handle periodic route verification, rotating the VANS vehicles through vehicle and siren maintenance, surveillance testing every two weeks and normal routine administrative functions.
Thus, the sixteen primary VANS operators are not required to leave their duty station to perform any administrative
(
) functions. In addition, IP 2.16, step 5.1.1.K, also indicates that the on-shift primary VANS operator remains on duty until relieved by the incoming VANS operator.
Thus, staffing policies ensure the ability to respond i
promptly and the availability of adequate numbers of trained i operators to relieve on-duty operators, on-shift functions
}
1
do not require the operators at staging areas to leave their duty station. Operators are not, per procedure, to leave their staging area duty station until relieved.
The multiple VANS operators at each Staging Area provide that, in the event that an operator is momentarily indisposed, a prioritized dispatch will occur. This form of dispatch will effectively prioritize the sequence for sending the first VANS vehicles dispatched to the furthest acoustic location. Each of the staging areas has a minimum of one corresponding acoustic location where a VANS vehicle can be completely deployed in an average of 7 minutes or less, which provides a 5 minute margin in the event that a driver is momentarily indisposed. In the situation where the satellite staging area is manned on summer weekends and holidays, VL-01
- - and VL-15 (VANS vehicles normally at the same staging area) have approximately a seven minute margin to account for an
~
operator being momentarily indisposed.
Actions are taken to provide an advance warning to VANS operators. The ORO EOC Contact notifies the VANS Staging s Areas and places the Operators on standby status at an
_ _ _ UNUSUAL EVENT, the lowest emergency classification. This
_- contact advises the VANS operators of a condition at Seabrook
^
Station which, if it escalated, would require the dispatching M
of VANS vehicles. At ALERT or higher emergency E
t classifications, VANS vehicles are dispatched to the acoustic locations.
The Vehicular Alert and Communication System (VACS) also assures prompt vehicle dispatching by the VANS Operators.
Upon activation by the ORO EOC Contact, the VACS automatically sounds audible alarms and activates visual alarms (i.e., flashing strobe-type lights) at the staging area. This combined auditory and visual alarm notifies the i
operator that an emergency condition exists at Seabrook Station requiring the prompt dispatch of a VANS vehicle. In the event of a false alarm, the VANS vehicles will dispatch as if responding to a real activation signal. Through VANS operator radio communication with the EOC Contact the false alarm condition would result in VANS vehicle recall. In addition to the alarming function, upon activation VACS automatically opens overhead doors at those staging areas where vehicles are stored indoors.
1 The VACS will be regularly maintained and periodically tested. In the unlikely event of VACS failure, the EOC Contact would revert to a simultaneous radio notification to
> the VANS staging areas. If the radio also fails, the EOC Contact would dispatch the VANS using the telephone system.
1 NHY selected a one minute alert and dispatch design based on input from emergency response personnel. A testing program was conducted to validate the design basis and to
! l 1
I I establish reasonable bounding time estimates of how long it would take to dispatch VANS vehicles from a staging area.
Since each staging area will have a unique set of operating characteristics (e.g., indoor versus outdoor vehicle storage, etc.) test conditions were chosen which would be representative of staging area conditions in general (i.e.,
indoor storage, vahicles located 100 feet from duty station).
I In addition, other test conditions, such as requiring the operator to walk to the vehicle after being mobilized and having two separate operators for the testing program, assure that the testing program results would be reasonable boundinct time estimates. Other conservatism in the testing program result from the performance of certain actions by the operator during the testing programs which will be performed I
I by VACS, such as opening of overhead doors and acknowledging l
the telephone communication to mobilize. Given the inherent conservatism in the testing program, the design basis time is bounding and appropriate.
B. Significance of Snow on Transit Times The following factual questions remain to be resolved with regards to the effect snow will have on transit times.
Given that there is snowfall of 0.5 inches or more during 5.5% of the days of the year, would a I conservative estimate of travel times to VANO accustic locations include the somewhat prolonged travel times anticipated during snow conditions? If so, what time estimates should be included Memorandum and Order A.5.2 at p. 24.
I -2e-I
l l
To evaluate the significance of snow on VANS transit times it is necessary to look at the siren acoustic locations, areas of coverage and predicted transit times during adverse winter weather.
NUREG-0654 states:
"The minimum acceptable design objectives for coverage by the system are... (b) The initial notification system will assure direct coverage of 3
essentially 100% of the population within 5 miles of the site."
Of the sixteen siren locations, VL-01, 04, 05, 07, 12, 13, and 15 provide coverage of areas within 5 miles of Seabrook.
Other acoustic locations such as VL-02 provide overlapping coverage within the 5 mile region, but are not the primary acoustic locations for such coverage.
The acoustic locations, where adverse winter average transit times are predicted to slightly exceed ten minutes and which provide coverage of areas within 5 miles of Seabrook Station, are VL-01, 12 and 13.
VL-01 provides 70 dBC coverage to the areas which are considered densely populated during summer months. During winter months this area has significantly lower population than in the summer months and would be adequately alerted by a 60 dBC sound level. This 60 dBC sound level is essentially provided to this area by sirens at acoustic locations VL-02, 04 and 15. The transit times to these three locations have I
8 predicted winter adverse weather transit times of 6:43, 0:00 and 4:01 respectively, Thus, even if VL-01 is delayed due to snow, the population within its coverage area would be notified by these other three sirens.
The estimate of the adverse winter weather average speed reduction of 25%, provided previously in Applicants' Motion for Summary Disposition, was applicable to evacuating traffic which consists primarily of passenger vehicles. This 25%
reduction in speed is considered an upper bound for VANS trucks because it is expected that the slowing affect of snow and ice on a VANS truck is less than on passenger vehicles.
The truck, with its wider wheel base and larger footprint (surface area of tires on pavement) should move more effectively during adverse road conditions than does a passenger vehicle.
Transit time route surveys were conducted during January and February of 1989. While sno'w and ice were encountered only to a limited extent, freezing rain with icy roads was encountered by the VANS vehicles on one day. An icy road

) surface provides less traction than snow. Consequently, this 7
data provided some indication of the inherent travel I characteristics of the VANS vehicles during winter adverse
[ weather. The following table shows the results of these runs

\
k For the runs on icy pavement which resulted in a speed reduction, the averace speed reduction relative to the speeds associated with the average transit times observed for all runs, was 13%. This empirical result suggests that the 25%
reduction is a reasonable upper bound. It appears on the basis of this one set of runs on icy pavement that the VANS trucks do not experience the same speed reduction as do passenger vehicles during adverse winter weather. If, on this basis, a more appropriate speed reduction in the range of 10 to 15 percent were adopted, then it is likely that the travel times of the VANS trucks to their acoustic locations would be within ten minutes during adverse winter road conditions for acoustic locations VL-01, 12 and 13. !
The above discussion has shown the following:
- Only three of the seven VANS trucks which provide coverage to areas within 5 miles could have estimated travel times, due to winter adverse road conditions, which exceed 10 minutes using a speed reduction estimate of 25 percent.
- One of these three does not provide the sole coverage of an area during the winter.
- The VANS trucks should move through snow more effectively during adverse winter road conditions than do l passenger vehicles. The average speed reduction for VANS l
trucks in adverse winter weather relative to normal weather l

.I l
l might be expected to be in the 10 to 15 percent range with an upper bound of 25 percent.
- Actual tests have shown that VANS transit times to r these three locations during severe winter adverse weather should not materially exceed 10 minutes.
C. Informational Message NUREG-0654, Appendix 3 states A prompt notification scheme shall include the l capability of local and State agencies to provide information promptly over radio and TV at the time of activation of the alertina sional.
FEMA Guidance Memorandum AN-1, FEMA Action to Oualify Alert and Notification Systems Acainst NUREG-0654/ FEMA- REP-1 and FEMA-REP-10 provides the following guidance and suggestions for evaluating and confirming compliance with design objectives:
"In confirming that the alert and notification system time requirements are satisfied, the evaluator should begin timing from the point at which the decision to activate the alert and notification system is made. Within 15 or 45 (if applicable) minutes of this decision by offsite officials, the alert signal must be activated and an instructional message must be on the air." ,
l
)
The SPMC (IP 2.13, 5.1.11.D; See Attachment E) provides that the informational message will be transmitted over EBS concurrently with the alerting signal. The EOC Contact or
\
) Communication Coordinator begins the siren activation upon hearing the EBS broadcast. The initial message is played h
1
I I l l
l I three times and subsequently repeated at 15 minute intervals. l Subsequent changes in protective action recommendations are implemented in the same manner.
For events requiring immediate protective action recommendations, the NHY ORO maintaint prerecorded informational messages at each EBS station, which ensures that the provisions of IP 2.13 can be met. .The prerecorded messages were timed to determine the length of time necessary to deliver the message. Each message has an approximate duration of 2 minutes with a maximum of 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Specifically scripted informational messages may contain additional information that could slightly extend the time necessary to deliver the message; however, these messages would not be used for events requiring immediate protective action recommendations.
D. Total Time to Perform Alert and Notification The Board in A.5-4 asked "What is an appropriate conservative estimate of the total length of time for alerting and informing people within five miles of Seabrook?"
Is that estimate within acceptable guidelines? (If it is longer than 15 minutes, what are the factors we are to consider in deciding whether the time period is adequate?)"
The VANS concept of operation and physical means to accomplish the alerting signal and informational message have I
i I
I been described in prior affidavits, the attached exhibits and earlier testimony.
VANS Acoustic Locations 1, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13 and 15 account for the alert signal coverage for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts within five miles of Seabrook Station (refer to exhibit llA figure 2-2). Other acoustic locations, such as VL-02, provide overlapping coverage within the 5 mile region, but are not the primary acoustic locations for such coverage.
The following table provides data for approximately 200 runs conducted in the spring, summer and fall for 1988 and winter of 1989 for each of the cited acoustic locations.
Each alerting signal completion total includes the times for phases of deployment.

When taken in serial fashion, the sum of each individual element in the VANS l'.tcluding 3 minute siren activation must be less than 15 minttes. The above table indicates that even with the use of conservative setup and dispatch factors the average time to complete the alerting signal is less than or equal to 13 minutes 37 seconds for the acoustic locations providing coverage within 5 miles of Seabrook. The results shown in the table also demonstrate that the additional conservative factor of adverse winter effects on transit times will not impact the PANS ability to meet the design objective stated in 10 C.F.R. 50 of about 15 minutes.
In all circumstances, the NHY PANS meets the 15 minute design objective of providing an alerting signal and informational message in about 15 minutes. Moreover, it further accounts for practical considerations by initial l serial repetitions of the message followed thereafter every
)
15 minutes. The most constraining scenario, involving the unlikely need for immediate protective actions, is satisfied by the PANS. In the more probable situation of an escalating emergency, the VANS are in their deployed condition effectively acting as a fixed pole siren system long before siren activation is actually required and thereby eliminating any considerations, beyond the actual 3 minute siren alerting signal and informational message, for satisfying the 15 minut'e design objective.

~3.2 NOTIFICATION AND MOBILIZATION 3.2.1 Introduction
- The notification and mobilization process for the New Hampshire Yankee (NHY) Offsite Response Organization begins with. the declaration of an emergency classification at Seabrook Station and proceeds, as dictated by that classification, through alerting, notifying, and mobilizing emergency response personnel as well as potential notification of all segments of the resident and tran-sient population surrounding the nuclear plant site. Bases for notification and verification have been established for the following: (1) notification of the NHY Offsite Response Organization and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by Seabrook Station; (2) notification of Federal, local, and support organiza-tions; (3) notification of the respective emergency response per-sonnel within each organization; and (4) notification of the public. The initial notification scheme is depicted on Figure 3.2-1. As an emergency escalates or deescalated, notification for each change in emergency classification level will be effected, culminating in the initiation of a recovery / reentry phase and eventual declassification of the emergency.

3.2.5 Public Notification l
Upon the determination that a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency is in progress, the NHY Offsite Response Organization will implement procedures to provide a recommendation to officials of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that notification and clear instructions (includihg periodic status updates) should be given to the general public. The NHY Offsite Response Organization maintains the capability to activate any of the available public notification'n means when authorized by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as described below and detailed in Implementing Procedure (IP) 2.13, Public Alert and Notification System Including EBS Activation, IP 2.15, Airborne Alert Activation and IP 2.16, Vehicular Alert and Notification. System.
digh-powered sirens are the primary means of providing public alerting to the resident and transient population within the Plume Exposure EPZ within the required 15-minute time criteria. The {'
siren system is comprised of fixed sirens installed throughout the New Hampshire portion of the Plume Exposure EPZ, and the Vehicular Alert and Notification System (VANS) for the Massachusetts portion of the Plume Exposure EPZ.
The VANS is a mobile fixed siren con-cept providing puolic alerting within 15 minutes.
The VANS is a truck with a notification cargo package consisting of a lifting device and a Whelen siren. VANS vehicles are located throughout or near the Massachusetts portion of the Plume Exposure EPZ at the VANS Staging Areas on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> (continuous) basis, l with VANS operators.

Upon dispatch of the VANS in an emergency, the vehicles will travel to specific acoustie locations pre-established in order to I provide for acceptable coverage of the Plume Exposure EPZ in Massachusetts.
VANS sirens can be remotely activated (normal method) from the NHY l Offsite Response EOC, or manually activated, if required, by VANS I operators upon direction.
In the event that a VANS siren failure occurs, additional backup l VANS vehicles are maintained (continuously) at the Backup VANS l Staging Area to provide independent coverage for specific acoustic locations.
In addition, an Airborne Alert System consisting of a helicopter [
mounted siren system is maintained in a state of readiness, con- l i tinuously, at Seabrook Station. Upon direction, the helicopter may be dispatched to accomplish backup public notifications. l Table 3.2-3 summarizes the number, sound ratings, and locations, 3 by municipality, of the sirens in the Plume Exposure EPZ. Siren locations are illustrated on maps of the Plume Exposure EPZ found in Appendix A.
Transients in the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge on Plum 1 Island will be provided supplemental notification through the U.S.
Department of the Interior. Notification of the EPZ waterways, under U.S. Coast Guard jurisdiction, will be carried out by the U.S. Coast Guard. Through the State of New Hampshire RERP, the U.S. Coast Guarci is initially notified at a NOTIFICATION OF l UNUSUAt. EVENT to allow for preliminary inventory of available l resources so that, if it becomes necessary, protective actions for l waterways may be instituted. Inland waterways are covered by the l siren system.

Paga 15 of 35 Amendment 5 I Through an extensive public education program (Section 3.7 and 7.5), the public will be instructed that, upon hearing the sirens, they should listen to local radio stations for information and instructional messages broadcast over the EBS radio network.
To supplement the public alerting functions provided by the siren system, tone-alert radio receivers will be offered to be distri-buted to schools, day care centers, nursing homes, hospitals, medical facilities, campgrounds, businesses with 50 or more I employees at one location, and other selected facilities, prior to [
full power operation of Seabrook Station.
[
t The designated EBS radio station tests its EBS signal generation once a week. The weekly test will enable special facilities to determine whether their receivers are functioning properly.
The operational authority for public notification rests with the I State and Local Emergency Response Directors. The NHY Offsite Response Organization maintains the capability to initiate the

ATTACHMENT "B" Paga 1 of 9 I Amendment 5 3.7 PUBLIC INFORMATION I
l 3.7.1 Introduction l
Public information is a key element of the Seabrook Plan for Massachusetts Communities. Not only is information important on an ongoing basis, but also during the unlikely event of an I emergency.
The public is notified of emergencies through the Public Alert and Notification System (PANS) and then continually updated tt) cough EBS messages, public information releases, and media briefings.
This section identifies and explains the ongoing and emergency role of public information.
I 3.7.2 Public Education Materials I The New Hampshire Yankee Executive Director of Emergency Prepared-
{
l l
ness and Community Relations is responsible for the program which
[
will provide the public with emergency planning information on an annual basis, using various media (refer to Section 7.5).
A description of the emergency planning public education materials I to be sent to the public is discussed below.
A. !
Emerge 9cy Plan Information Calendar - This calendar is pre-I pared specifically for the Massachusetts towns in the Plume Exposure EPZ.
It contains the following topics.
o Identification of agencies / organization (name, address, and telephone number) responsible for emergency response for the Plurne Exposure EPZ.
o Explanation of the types of public alert and notification (VANS vehicle or helicopter public alerting, Emergency l Broadcast System) used within the Plume Exposure EPZ.

o Provisions for school children, o Provisions for special assistance for handicapped or i mobility-impaired individuals.
o Inclusion of an information label that can be placed in an easily accessible place.
o Maps showing the Massachusetts portion of the Plume I Exposure EPZ, designated Reception Center locations, bus routes and evacuation routes.
B. Adhesive Label - This information label is designed to be placed where it can be easily seen. It contains emergency I instructions which are readily available for use during an emergency. Information labels are inserted in the' Emergency Plan Information Calendars and distributed separately to busi- l nesses, instutions and transients. The labels can be removed l and attached to surfaces such that they may be clearly visible in homes, schools, hospitals, and recreation facilities.
C. Telephone Book Insert - Emergency public information will appear on a dedicated page of local telephone directories.
The directories that will include'this information are the Newburyport Amesbury Area and the Haverhill Area Directories.
Emergency information printed in the telephone books is an I abbreviated version of the information contained in the Emergency Plan Information Calendar.
D. Poster - A poster displaying emergency public information will be made available for display at special facilities located I within the Plume Exposure EPZ such as state parks and recreation areas. These posters also are available to local l

will coordinate a periodic special needs survey by mail. The survey uses questionnaires to identify residents who require special arrangements for notification and/or transportation; I the questionnaires are also included in the Emergency Plan Information Calendars.
In addition, a Special Needs Poster was distributed in the fall of 1987 to various advocate groups in each Massachusetts Plume Exposure EPZ municipality as well as agencies surrounding the EPZ. The poster indicated that a special I needs survey was conducted in the summer of 1987 and iden-tified a phone number at New Hampshire Yankee to call for further information.
I G. Farmer's Brochure - In addition to,the public information I already mentioned, a booklet entitled " Emergency Information for Farmers, Farm Workers, Food Processors and Food I Distributors" will be made available to Massachusetts farmers I 3.7-3 Revision 0 I
I
Pago 4 of 9 I Amendment 5 and food processors. This information details the effects of radiation and radioactive materials on the human food supply as well as identifies various preventive protective actions which might be necessary in the event of an emergency at Seabrtok Station. Massachusetts farmers and food processors I within 10 miles of the plant (the Plume Exposure EPZ) will be provided with this booklet on an annual basis. This informa-tion will be made available to farmers and food processors in the 10 to 50 mile areas of the Ingestion Pathway EPZ at the I time of an emergency. Additional written ingestion pathway instructions will be made available as required, at specified locations for farmers, farm workers, food processors and food distributors.

Amendment 5 I A. Emergency Broadcast System The New Hampshire Yankee Offsite Response Organization, through a Letter of Agreement Mith the contracted EBS radio (
station, can direct activation of the EBS for the Massachusetts I Plume Exposure and Ingestion Pathway EPZs. However, authori-zation to broadcast an EBS message must be given by the
[
Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or designee).
Through the EBS, the NHY Offsite Response Director can advise the public on the status of the emergency and of any protective actions that should be taken as a result of an emergency at Seabrock Station.
Upon direction from the NHY Offsite Response Director, the Public Notification Coordinator is responsible for a timely and coordinated activation of the Public Alert and I Notification System (DANS) from the NHY Offsite Response EOC during an emergency. This includes preparation of EBS messages, communication with New Hampshire to discuss message content and coordinated activation of the PANS, transmittal of the approved EBS messages to the EBS radio station for broad-I l
cast and activation of the siren system through the Communication Coordinator, and VANS Operators or Airborne Alerting Pilot, as necessary.

2.15, Airborne Alert Activation provides the details of activation of the helicopter used as a backup for public l alerting. l I B. News Media The Public Information Advisor and staff are responsible for preparation and transmittal of all approved news releases to the Public Information Coordinator at the Media Center. As a minimum, a priority news release containing the contents of I each EBS message approved by the NHY Offsite Response Director and broadcast over the EBS will be transmitted to the Media l Center for dissemination to the news media. Additional news releases may be prepared as necessary throughout the emergency.
I Public announcements through the media will be made by the Public Information Coordinator, the official NHY Offsite j Response Organization spokesperson, at the Media Center, as authorized by the NHY Cffsite Response Director.
The Media Center, located in the Town Hall, Newington, NH, I~ serves as the primary location for dissemination of infor- l ma :on. This center is operated by Seabrook Station and is staffed by personnel from Seabrook Station, the NHY Offsite Response Organization, the State of New Hampshire, Federal organizations, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts if it l chooses to participate. The Media Center is the key facility l I 3.7-6 Revision 0 lI 1

The Public Infor-mation Coordinator reviews news releases proposed by staff I members of Seabrook Station, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the State of New Hampshire and Federal public g information representative prior to release to the media and g
will provide the NHY Offsite Response Organization news
[
releases to these other organizations for similar review. This will ensure that NHY Offsite Response Organization representa-tives and other public information officials have coordinated I the substance of the proposed releases, and the positions they will express in response to statements made by other spokespersons at the Media Center.
C.
