KLD ASSOCIATES INCORPORATED D " HUNTING N S ATI N NY 11746 (516)549-9803 May 30, 1986 Mr. Michael J. Nawoj, Director -

Technological Hazards Division New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency State Office Park South 107 Pleasant Street Concord, NH 03301 RE: Telecon of 26 May, 1986

Dear Mike,

The purpose of this letter is to outline the differences between the draft Final Report entitled, Seabrook Stat' ion Evacuation Time Estimates and Traffic Management Plan Update which was published 1 Hay 1986, and the seven Progress Reports which were published in sequence from November 1985 through April 1986.

As noted in the Preface of the draft Final Report, these differences reflect editorial changes and extensions. None of these changes, in our view, substantively impacts the contents of these Progress Reports. We indicate the relationship between the draft Final Report and the earlier Progress Reports in the following text.

Section 1 Text was added to provide a more complete description of the EPZ -- see Section 1.2. The General Highway Map was extended to show the EPZ boundary and Figure 1-2 was added to provide an overview of the geographical region around Seabrook Station.

Table 1-1, providing climatic information was also added.

Section 1-3 presented an overview of the activities performed so as to orient the reader. Figure 1-3 is new and presents the evacuation network, showing the direction of evacuating traffic;

all origin centroids, links and nodes; all communities and their boundaries and all ERPA boundaries; as well as the 2, 5 and 10-mile circular areas centered at Seabrook Station. This map, i, in color, serves as a valuable reference for the reader.

Section 2 This section is a direct copy of Section 4 of Progress Report No. 1. The lone exception is the removal of the subsection on l Manufacturing and Industrial Employment which was obsoleted by

{ information received subsequently and documented in Progress j

Report No. 2.

i l Section 3 This section is a direct copy of Section 5 of Progress Report No. 1. We added Table 3-1 in response to a request by FEMA. The 1

, sub-section on recommended highway improvements was added as . . '

suggested in NUREG 0654. A sub-section on ocean fog was added. )

1 Section 6 of Progress Report No. I was discarded as it was i obnoleted by later studies.

! Section 4 i

l This section is a direct copy of Section 8 of Progress Report No. 2.

Section 5 This section is a direct copy of Section 9 of Progress Report No. 2.

Section 6

. This section is a direct copy of Section 9 of Progre'ss Report

!, No. 2.

Section 7 i This section is a direct copy of Section 11 of Progress Report No. 2. One paragraph was omitted and some text was changed to indicate that these controls were no longer

" preliminary".

r Page 3 Section 8 This section is a concatenation of Sections 16 and 17 of Progress Report No. 4, suitably updated to reflect comments by police chiefs of communities within the EPZ. The discussion of evacuation route signing was extended to provide for an alternative to permanent installations.

Section 9 This section is a direct copy of Section 21 of Progress Report No. 6. The ACP within Newington just south of Pease AFB was removed as it was considered to be unnecessary by N.H. State Police. Those TCP within the EPZ which would also serve as ACP under specific circumstances, were identified in a new Table 9-5.

Section 10 T'his section synthesizes the contents'of Progress Reports Nos. 3 and 5. The sensitivity studies in Section 14 of Progress Report No. 3 which dealt with Scenarios 11 were discarded. The results obtained for these scenarios indicted.that the implementation of additional controls would not yield benefits in the form of significantly reduced ETE and would consume personnel resources which would likely be more effective elsewhere. The other sensitivity study results were retained.

The bulk of this section is a direct copy of Section 19 of Progress Report No. 5. Additional sensitivity studies addressed the prospect of an "Immediate" General Emergency, as compared with the Planning Basis which asserts a time lag of 25 minutes between the sounding of the sirens and the Order to Evacuate.

The " roses" of Figures 32 through 41 in Progress Rep, ort No. 5 were reviewed and refined. Any changes in the numerics'were extremely small and not at all substantive, with one exception:

on some roses, the demand associated with the Seabrook (greyhound) Park was inadvertantly omitted.

Table 10-10 includes the ETE for the Special Population grouping and the Confirmation Time.

Section 11 This section is a direct copy of Section 23 in Progress Report No. 7, with some editorial changes. Tables 32 in Section 23 were moved into Section 10 of the draft Final Report.

Page 4 Sections 12 and 13 These sections are direct copies of Section 24 and 25, respectively, of Progress Report No. 7.

Other other changes are editorial in nature. Changes in text were designed to correct typo errors and to clarify communication with the reader.

I trust the above summary is responsive to your request. If you have any questions, let me know.

Dear Mr. Vickers:

We are pleased to inform you that New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency has completed Revision 1 to the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan (fNRERP) package. We are in the process of distributing the Revision 1 t changes to the holders of controlled copies of the plan and to other key people and agencies.

The next step in the process includes developing a work plan for compiling Revision 2 to the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan. It is our intent that the work plan will outline changes to be made in response to the RAC review, to the FEMA exercise report, to observations noted in contentions offered by intervenors to the ASLB hearings process, and to changes suggested by various members of New Hampshire emergency response organizations. It is our intent to have the work plan completed by July 1, 1986 with Revision 2 to follow, probably in October,1986. We have arranged specifically to have the work plan available well in advance of the scheduled Atomic Safety Licensing Board (ASLB) Hearings so that FEMA and all other interested parties will see what work is being undertaken to respond to comments outlined in the various reports cited above.

• It is essential that we meet not later than mid June to expedite preparation of the work plan. In such a working level meeting, we would expect. to outline the plan changes we anticipate in response to each comment.

We would expect, in return, to receive some expression of concurrence that the proposed changes would be responsive to the RAC or exercise comment. In addition, for several corrnents, some dialogue is required before we can respond formally to the RAC. There are several corrnents that we do not understand, or for which the nature of the required improvement is not clear to us. Discussion with the authors of the corrnents would be most helpful in these cases. Could you please provide us with a firm date for tnese discussions to take place.
