SUMMARY

OF TESTIMONY j In their testimony, Captain Daniel Breton and Firefighter John Van Gelder testify on issues raised by SAPL Contention EX-12 as to the lack of adequacy of the reception and decontamination center emergency response functions in the host community of Salem, N.H. , as revealed by the June 1988 graded FEMA exercise. Captain Breton and Firefighter Van Gelder testify that due to inadequate manpower, infrequent training, lack of coordination, l conflicting duties and overall confusion, the exercise in no way indicated the l

capability to respond to a real radiological emergency at Seabrook Station. !

Captain Breton and Firefighter Van Gelder further state that because there was training immediately prior to the exercise, prior notice of the general timing of events, and only a few " evacuees" run through the facility relative to the numbers that mig 5 t need to be served, the exercise, confused and inadequate as it was, did not provide a true picture of events as they would occur in a real emergency situation. They conclude that the exercise as it transpired on June 28, 1988 did not indicate an adequnte emergency response capability in the host community of Salem in the event of a radiological emergency at Seabrook.

TESTIMONY

1. Q. Would you each please state your full name and occupation?

A: John William Van Gelder, Firefighter, Salem New Hampshire Fire Depar tmen t.

A: Daniel Louis Breton, Captain, Salem New Hampshire Fire Department. I

2. Q: How long have each of you been in your positions with the Salem Fire Department?

A: (Van Gelder) I started with the Salem Fire Department in January 1975, left in January 1982, and was rehired on July 5, 1983. I have served on the department from July 1983 to the present.

(Breton) I started in July 1972 and have almost 17 years with the department.

3. Q: Would you please describe your job responsibilities?

A: (Van Gelder) My job responsibilities are primarily EMS work and i firefighting.

l (Bre ton) I am responsible for supervising a shif t of the Fire Department which consists of 15 men at 2 substations and the central s ta tion. I am the incident commander while I am on duty and would be in charge of the response to a fire or EMS type of incident.

4. Q: How many firemen are there in the Salem Fire Department?

A: (Van Gelder) 40 firefighters,16 lieutenants and 4 captains.

5. Q: Did both of you participate in the graded Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) exercise of the emergency response plans for Seabrook Station conducted in June 1988? l A: (Breton) Yes. I was the shif t commander that day.

(Van Gelder) Yes. I was there as the union advisor to work along with Chief Donald Bliss.

t _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

6. Q: What is your understanding of the functions that the Salem Firefighters are supposed to perform during a radiological emergency at Seabrook?

A: (Breton) My understanding is that the Salem Fire Department and the firefighters on duty are supposed to be responsible for setting up and operating a reception and decontamination center for people possibly exposed to by products of a nuclear accident at Seabrook that would j include the responsibility for decontaminating anybody who was 1

con tamina ted.

7. Q: How many Salem firefighters actually participated in the June 1988 graded exercise?

A: (Van Gelder) A total of 15 Salem firefighters. They were all on-duty firefighters; no off-duty firefighters responded.

8. Q: Would of f-duty firefighters respond to a Seabrook emergency in your opinion?

A: (Van Gelder) Currently no Salem on-duty or off-duty firefighters arc obligated to respond. We have a Memorandum of Agreement dated June 21, 1988, which etates at paragraph 2 as follows:

The Town agrees that it will not require local 2892 members to participate in radiological / decontamination training, exercises and operations af ter June 28, 1988 until an agreement has been reached be tween the carties.

Even bef ore the Memorandum of Agreement was in ef fect, no of f-duty

/

firefighters responded to the two prior drills even though they would have been paid time and a half. We will have to negotiate with the town and the town in turn has to reach an agreement with the state.

9. Q: Were any mutual aid firefighters present from other communities at the exercise?

i

_4_

A: (Van Gelder) Yes, there were. approximately 15 firefighters from out of town. Including Salem and the mutual aid personnel, there were a total of approximately 30 firefighters.

10. Q: To your knowledge, have mutual aid firefighters received training to respond to a radiological emergency at Seabrook Station?

A: (Van Gelder) The day we had the exercise, June 28, 1988, I contacted the Deputy Chief from the Windham Fire Department and as of that date they were not trained. 1 also talked to someone in Pelham and Pelham firefighters also were not trained as of that date. As far as the other mutual aid towns are concerned, I am not sure of the answer to that question.

11. Q: Where is the Reception / Decontamination Center located in Salem?

A: (Breton and Van Gelder) At Salem High School on Geremonty Drive.

12. Q: How many evacuees have you been told you should be prepared to expect at the facility?

A: (Van Gelder) I have been told 3600.

(Breton) At meetings we have had I have heard anywhere from 3500 to 10,000. What figure is accurate I don't know. I have heard all dif ferent figures at different stages. I don't know today how many l

i we are supposed to be able to receive.

l

13. Q: How many firefighters would you expect would report if there were an emergeacy at Seabrook at any point in the future?

A: (Bre ton) The response would consist of 15 on-duty firefighters.

(Van Gelder) The 15 on-duty firefighters may be requested to respond but would not be obligated to respond at the present time. Fur the r ,

those 15 firefighters could not all be tied up at the reception center since they would be responsible for protecting the rest of the f

{

community. Some of the firefighters have told me that even if they were on duty, they would go home sick and take care of their families.

14. Q: Were personnel given training just prior to the exercise?

A: (Van Gelder) On June 9,1988 we had a practice exercise, which we videotaped, and things went roughly the same on June 28, 1908. The group that was on duty for the June 28 exercise had a class two days beforehand and were trained in what they were supposed to be doing. In a real situation it is not likely that there would have been training just two days before and I do not think that things would even go as well as they did on June 28. The June 28 performance was totally inadequate for a real evacuation.

15. Q. What portions of the exercise were you there for?

A. (Breton) I was there at the beginning to set things up but I was not there for the monitoring and decontamination.

(Van Gelder) I was there for the whole exercise, i

16. Q: Was this an adequate exercise for what Salem firefighters are expected i to handle?

1 A: (Bre ton) No. I just feel it was terribly inadequate, grossly inadequate for what we are expected to handle. In the first place, there is not enough manpower. There is also not enough coordination.

Our scope is extremely limited. I did the best I could with the 15 people that I had. We have to take our time because we don't do this every day. We have to unload the truck and everybody has to be l

l refreshed as to where to go. There were a lot of people observing and looking around, but not a lot of people responsible for carrying out the exercise. In essence, we just don't have the manpower to pull l it of f the way it should be pulled off. ;

(Van Gelder) I agree totally.

l L____________________ l

4 17.-Q: Were you able to get all the equipment in place?

A: (Breton) When I lef t all the equipment was not in place. All the equipment 'was not off the truck. There was a lot of confusion about the materials coming off the truck with respect to the different kits.

Any particular station might have 3 to 4 kits and.some of the kits

~

needed at the station might be in the front of- the truck and others in the back of the truck. It takes an enormous amount of time to coordinate the material. There was a lot of confusion.

18. Q: Did anybody seem to have a command of the central coordination of the facility and how it was supposed to be set up?

A: (Breton) No. There seemed'to be as much confusion among the people supposed to be "in charge" as with us. A lot of time I spent there dealt with jus t emptying the truck. It was just ridiculous, materials scattered all over the place, even though the truck was suppused to have been reloaded and better organized than it was at the non graded exercise that was supposed to prepare as for this graded one. What we had requested be done in loading the truck evidently was not done.

19. Q: Given the training that Salem firefighters have had in monitoring and decontamination, and given the frequency of that training, do you think the firefighters will be able adequately to recall and use that 1

information in a Seabrook Station emergency?

A: (Breton) The training was adequate for me at the time, but we don't get the training of ten enough to be efficient over a period of time.

In other words, I can retain the information from classes for a short ,

l period of time, but af ter a week or two weeks or a few months, I can't 1

1 I

l remember the finer points or specifics about the monitoring procedures. !

Even though I have some background in this area I do have difficulties, l

l so I am concerned that my men are not able to pick up this material as quickly due to. lack of background training.

20. Q: Most of the firefighters have not had any other training background in this area?

A: (Breton) No, they haven't. Some of the people have come to me and expressed that they do not understand and are not sure about what they are doing.

21. Q: What was your overall impression of the exercise?

A: (Breton) " Confusion" was the word of the day at the exercise.

22. Q: It is being represented to you that the following quotation appears in the Final FEMA Exercise Report on the graded exercise that occurred i

-in June 1988 in paragraph 5 on p. 184:

The Salem facility was activated in a timely and ef fective manner. The assigned personnel performed as a team and demonstrated their knowledge of Emergency Plan Procedures for the necessary stations i to be established throughout the facility. All necessary equipment and supplies were available and adequately demonstrated by the staff. The staff was knowledgeable in the proceedures to establish and operate each function of the facility.

Do you think these statements accurately reflect what went on at the Salem High School on the day of the exercise?

A: (Van Gelder) I do not feel it accurately reflects what went on.

(Breton) I do not feel it's even close to an accurate description of what went on.

23. Q: For what reasons do you think the statement is inaccurate?

A: (Breton) I saw confusion and lack of coordination and people who did not know what they were doing.

I

24. Q: Did you think the scope of the exercise was reasonable?

~

A: (Breton) The scope of the exercise did not approach the number of people we're supposed to be capable of' processing.

25'. Q: Would you_ report if there were an actual radiological emergency at l Seabrook Station?

A: (Van Gelder) No. I wouldn't and if I were on duty I'd go home sick and i

get my family out of. town.

(Bre ton) I would serve only if I were on duty at the time. I would tell my family to leave town and go west at the emergency classification level before the one at which people are told to evacuate.

26. Q: Were you given prior notification of the time the Seabrook exercise was going to occur so you knew the general time frame to expect the i

beginning of events?

A: (Bre ton) We were told the exercise was going to take place and we were informed of approximate times certain things might happen. We had an idea of the time the EOC was going to be activated and we also knew the approximate time when the reception / decontamination center would be activated. It was no secret.

27. Q: Did this prior notification help your response be more efficient than it might otherwise have been?

A: (Breton) Sure it did. But I wouldn't term the performance

" efficient".

28. Q: How long did it take them to set up for evacuees to come through the facility?

A: (Van Gelder) A lot of the evacuees were standing outside the doorway for a couple of hours waiting to get inside. A loc of the buses that showed up later in the day were just turned around and sent back.

_g_

29E Q: During the exercise,~were there any other impediments to. proceeding smoothly along?-

A:: (Bre ton) Yes. We still;had to take care of. the emergency calls for our-own . town. That's real life. There were a combination of various ambulance or EMS calls and fire calls. We responded to'those as we normally would. Our department averages about 10 emergency -

calls per day.

30. Q: Of.the 15 Salem fire personnel on duty on the day of the exercise, how many reported to the reception / decontamination center?

A: (Van Gelder) Twelve people.

31. Q:- What was the time the reception / decontamination f acility was supposed to be opened?

A: (Van Gelder) According to the Daily Communications Log for June 28, 1988 (attached to our testimony), at 12:58 there was a telephone call to our dispatch center. It was the Assistant Chief requesting that the Fire Chief have the reception center ready for 1500 hours0.0174 days 0.417 hours 0.00248 weeks 5.7075e-4 months , which is 3:00 PM.

32. Q: What time was the reception / decontamination operation open to admit evacuees?

A: (Van Gelder) According to the log, at 16:32, the Chief requested that the EOC be notified of the opening of the decontamination and reception areas, and at that time the E0C was advised of that. At 16:34, we had a report of a fire at 15 Henry Street.

33. Q: How many firefighters did the fire call at 16:34 call away from the reception / decontamination center?

A:- (Van Gelder) Nine of the twelve Salem firefighters that were at the Salem High School lef t to report to the fire call, leaving only three l

. l

(

Salem firefighters and the mutual aid personnel there to carry on the operation. If it had been a call for the south end of the town, everyone at the high school from Salem Fire Department would have had to leave to report to the fire call.

34. Q: Does this conclude your testimony? j 1

A: (Van Gelder) Yes.

(Bre ton) Yes, it does.
