(Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle] | |||
Contentions 73.B.1 and 73.B.3 read as follows: | |||
Contention 73.B.1 1. | |||
The only provision for notifying-non-deaf handicapped individuals of a pending evacuation is by means of a tele-phone call from the LILCO Home Coordinator. | |||
(OPIP 3.6.5). | |||
This is an inadequate and ineffective means of noti-fying many handicapped individuals such as those who are bedridden, unable to get to a telephone or unable to communicate on a telephone, and thus LILCO fails to comply with 10 CFR Section 50.47(b)(5) and NUREG-0654, Sections II.E.5 and E.6. | |||
(See FEMA Report at 9). | (See FEMA Report at 9). | ||
Contention 73.B.3. | |||
3. | |||
One LILCO employee -- the Home Coordinator -- is responsible for con-tacting all the' handicapped persons and identifying and contacting all reception centers (none of which are identified in the Plan). | |||

Have any special alerting arrangements been made for the handicapped who live at home? | |||

Thus, in addition to siren notification,.LERO will contact handicapped individuals by telephone to confirm that a vehicle is being diapatched to as-sist in their evacuation and to inform them where they will be transported. | |||

Q. | |||
A. | How many homebound handicapped persons will be called to inform them that a vehicle is being dis-patched to their residence to assist them in evacuating? | ||
A. | |||
A. | [Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle] | ||
As of February 8, 1984, LILCO had identified about 75 homebound hand-icapped persons who will be called if the entire EPZ is to be evacuated. | |||
See LILCO's testimony on Contention 73.A (Preregistration of the Handi-capped). | |||
If additional handicapped persons requiring assistance are identified by LILCO, they also will be called to inform them that a vehicle is being dispatched to their residence to assist them in evacuating. | |||
9. | |||
Q. | |||
Who will be available to contact the handicapped at home? | |||
A. | |||
[Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle] | |||
The Home Coordinator has the primary responsibility for con-i tacting these people. | |||
Section 5.1.2 of OPIP 3.6.5, however, provides that the Home Coordinator may draw on Communications and Administrative support personnel to assist in contacting handicapped per-sons and the reception centers to which the handi-capped persons will be evacuated. | |||
Figure 2.1.1, which is appended to this testimony as Attachment 3, | |||
shows that there are 15 administrative support l | |||
personnel who could be drawn upon to assist the 1 | |||
. Home Coordinator in making these phone calls. | |||

Q. | |||
A. | How long will it take to contact the handicapped at home? | ||
A. | |||
[Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle] | |||
It depends on how much of the EPZ is part of the evacuation protec-tive action recommendation and the number of sup-port personnel assisting the Home Coordinator. | |||
If the entire EPZ were to be evacuated, and about 75 people were to be called, it would take about 45 minutes if five LERO workers made these calls. | |||

A. (Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle] | Q. | ||
What other responsibilities do the communications and administrative support personnel have under the Plan? | |||
A. | A. | ||
(Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle] | |||
personnel will be assigned tasks by the various coordinators, who will be working with the Logis-tics Support Coordinator. | Section 2.1-6 of-the Plan, which is appended to this testimony as, | ||
[Weismantle] | states that the administrative sup-port personnel are to provide " clerical and admin-istrative support for LERO" under the Logistics Support Coordinator. | ||

Q. | |||
in evacuating. | Contention 73.B.3 states that there is no indica-tion that communications and administrative support personnel will be available to assist the Home Coordinator. | ||
How do you plan to ensure that such support personnel are available to assist? | |||
A. | |||
[Cordaro, Robinson] | |||
Use of personnel at the EOC I | |||
will depend on emergency needs. | |||
As the emergency develops, different types of administrative and communications tasks will take priority. | |||
Available j | |||
personnel will be assigned tasks by the various coordinators, who will be working with the Logis-tics Support Coordinator. | |||
Thus, if phone calls to the handicapped at home were a priority, personnel would be assigned to that task accordingly. | |||
[Weismantle] | |||
As Manager of LERO, I will set prio-i rities and allocate personnel and resources, as needed, for contacting the handicapped. | |||
1 13. | |||
Q. | |||
What if handicapped persons are noc near the tele-phone or are unable to communicate by telephone when LERO attempts to contact them? | |||
A. | |||
[Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle] | |||
It is not a sig-nificant problem if a handicepped person is not reached by telephone. | |||
The phone call serves only to give these people advance notice that an appro-priate vehicle has been dispatched to assist them 1 | |||
in evacuating. | |||
The evacuation vehicles are dis-patched automatically to the residence of the l | |||

Moreover, Section 5.1.2.d of OPIP 3.6.5 of the Plan, which is appended to this testimony as part of Attachment 2, provides that if persons requiring evacuation transportation are not near their phones at the time of notification, they will be called again at a later time. | Moreover, Section 5.1.2.d of OPIP 3.6.5 of the Plan, which is appended to this testimony as part of Attachment 2, provides that if persons requiring evacuation transportation are not near their phones at the time of notification, they will be called again at a later time. | ||

A. | Q. | ||
Please summarize your testimony for Contentions 73.B.1 and 73.B.3. | |||
A. | |||
[Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle] | |||
Appropriate vehi-cles wil be dispatched to the residences of invalid persons to assist them in evacuating, regardless of whether they are contacted by telephone. | |||
The tele-phone calls are secondary and serve to notify these people that an appropriate vehicle has been dis-patched. | |||
There are 15 administrative support per-sonnel who could be drawn upon to assist the Home Coordinator in calling the handicapped at home. | |||

A. | j A. | ||
Contention 73.B.4 | [Cordaro, Lieberman, Weismantle] | ||
Contentions 73.B.4 and 73.B.5 read as follows: | |||
Contention 73.B.5 | Contention 73.B.4 4. | ||
The proposed evacuation would take far too long, and as a result, hand-icapped people would be likely to receive health-threatening doses of radiation be-cause evacuating vehicles would encounter conge'stion from other mobilization and evacuation traffic, and thus would be substantially delayed in traveling to the homes of handicapped individuals, and to relocation centers. | |||
Contention 73.B.5 5. | |||
A. [Lieberman, Weismantle] | The LILCO Plan calls for the deaf to be alerted of an accident, and advised of the appropriate protective action, by LILCO route alert drivers who are expect-ed to drive to the home of each deaf res-ident within the EPZ (OPIP 3.6.5). | ||
This proposed notification will not be timely, however, since route alert drivers will be delayed by mobilization and evacuation traffic. | |||
Furthermore, even disregarding expected traffic conditions, there is no assurance that enough route alert drivers will be assigned to this function to en-able LILCO to carry out such notification promptly. | |||
16. | |||
Q. | |||
Could you explain how time estimates for the evacu-ation of handicapped persons living at home and needing special transportation were derived? | |||
A. | |||
[Lieberman, Weismantle] | |||
Yes. | |||

For step 2, it was conservatively assumed that the first stop for all vehicles would be ten miles from the staging area.

For step 4, it was again conservatively assumed that the last stop would be located eight miles from the EPZ boundary. For this leg, it was assumed that the entire trip would be made with evacuating traffic at a speed of 6 miles per hour. An exception was made to this assumption if step 4 was found to be completed after the time the last automobile was assumed to have evacuated cne EPZ. In that case, it was assumed that the ambulance, ambulette or bus would either travel at a speed of 20 miles per hour out of the EPZ or would overtake the end of any remaining queue and would de-l part at the time the last automobile departed the EPZ, whichever is later. | Since the trip from the staging area to the first stop will generally be in a counterflow direction to evacuating traffic, an aver-age speed of approximately 25 miles per hour was as-sumed for this leg. | ||

For ambulances, it was as-I sumed that each ambulanca would make two stops, that the distance between these stops would be five miles, and that each stop would take 10 minutes to board the passenger. For ambulettes, it was assumed that each ambulette would make seven stops, that the total dis-tance traveled to make these stops would be 15 miles, and that the time to board the handicapped person at each stop would be ten minutes.

Q. | |||
Based on these individual step times, what-were the total evacuation time estimates for the handicapped at home? | |||
A. | |||
[Lieberman) | |||
For people needing-ambulance assistance, the evacuation of the handicapped at home could be ac-complished in 4 hours 10 minutes following the order to evacuate (assuming a period of 25 minutes between | |||
!' i the initial public notification and an order to evacu-r I | |||
ate). | |||
The evacuation of ambulettes and buses would be | |||
~ | |||
completed in 5 hours 5 minutes and 4 hours 55 minutes, l | |||
respectively -- virtually the same time needed to evacuate the automobile-owning public. | respectively -- virtually the same time needed to evacuate the automobile-owning public. | ||
18. | |||
A. | Q. | ||
Would these estimated evacuation times expose handi-capped individuals to " health-threatening doses of ra-diation" as suggested by Contention 73.B.4? | |||
7 A. | |||
[Cordaro, Weismantle] | |||
No. | |||
As just noted by Mr. | |||
Lieberman, the evacuation time estimates for the hand-icapped at home are less than or equal to the evacua-1 tion time estimates for the automobile-owning public. | Lieberman, the evacuation time estimates for the hand-icapped at home are less than or equal to the evacua-1 tion time estimates for the automobile-owning public. | ||
Since the protective action recommendations of OPIP 3.6.1 are based on the principle of dose minimization' and are keyed to the time needed to eveduatetthe automobile-owning.public, it follows that the handi-capped at home would also be protected. | Since the protective action recommendations of OPIP 3.6.1 are based on the principle of dose minimization' and are keyed to the time needed to eveduatetthe automobile-owning.public, it follows that the handi-capped at home would also be protected. | ||

Plan, Figure 2.1.1. | |||
These drivers will be equally divided among the three staging areas. | |||
Their primary responsibility will be to alert the general public in the event of a siren failure. | |||
Absent a failure of a substantial number of the sirens, route alert drivers will,be-available im-mediately to notify deaf people.at home of the need to evacuate. | |||
We make the following conservative assump-tions: | |||
1. | |||
Route alert drivers will need to travel 10 miles-from the staging area to the first home needing no-tification. | |||
This trip will be made at an average speed of 20 miles per | |||
: hour, 2. | |||
Route alert drivers will spend no more than five minutes. attempting to notify the people at any given stop, and 3. | |||
The travel speed'between stops will be 10 miles per hour. | |||
Individual stops will be separated by 3 miles. | |||
_. Based on these assumptions, it can be demonstrated that each spare route alert driver will be able to no-tify six deaf people within the first two hours fol-lowing an order to evacuate. | |||
Even if a total failure of the siren system is as-sumed, notification of the deaf at home should be timely since one or two stops could be assigned to each route alert driver following the completion of | Given the relatively large number of expected spare route alert drivers, notification will be completed in a timely manner. | ||

- ROBINSON, AND JOHN A. WEISMANTLE ON BEHALF OF LONG ISLAND LIGHTING COMPANY ON PHASE II EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 73.B (NOTIFICATION AND (EVACUATION OF THE HANDICAPPED AT HOME)
PURPOSE Contentions 73.B.1 and 73.B.3 state (1) that the only provision in the LILCO Transition Plan for notifying non-deaf handicapped persons at home of a pending evacuation is by means of a telephone call from the LILCO Home Coordinator, (2) that many handicapped people are unable to communicate by telephone, and (3) that there is no indication in the LILCO Transition Plan that personnel will be available to assist the Home Coordinator in making these calls.
This testimony will estab-lish that appropriate vehicles automatically will be dispatched to the residences of handicapped persons to assist them in
_.. evacuating regardless of whether they are contacted by tele-i phone, that the phone calls to the handicapped serve primarily to notify handicapped persons that a vehicle has been dis-patched to assist them in evacuating, and that administrative i
support personnel and communicators will be available to assist the Home Coordinator in making these calls.
1 Contentions 73.B.4 and 73.B.5 state that the means for evacuating and alerting handicapped persons at home are inade-quate, primarily because of traffic congestion.
To the con-trary, this testimony will show (1) that the evacuation time estimates for handicapped people at home are reasonable and no longer than the time needed to evacuate the public generally and (2) that the route alert drivers who will notify hearing-impaired people will be ample in number and will be able to no-tify the relatively small number of hearing-impaired people in a timely-fashion.

Q.
Please summarize your professional qualifications and your role in emergency planning for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station.
A.
[Cordaro]
I am Vice President of Engineering for LILCO and have held this position since the spring of 1978.
My professional qualifications are being separately offered into evidence as part of the document entitled " Professional Qualifications of LILCO Witnesses."
I am sitting on this panel to provide the LILCO management perspective on emer-gency planning and to answer any questions perti-nent to management.
My role in emergency planning for Shoreham is to ensure that the needs and re-1' quirements of emergency planning are being met and that the technical direction and content of emer-gency planning are being conveyed to corporate man-agement.
[Lieberman]
I am Vice President'of KLD Associates, Incorporated.
My professional qualifications are are being separately offered into evidence as part i
of the document entitled " Professional' l
I l
l
. Qualifications of LILCO Witnesses."
My familiarity with these contentions stems from work KLD Associ-ates has performed for LILCO on evacuation time estimates for the Shorehara EPZ.
Specific compo-nents of this work focused on the effect of volun-tary evacuations on Evacuation time estimates and the traffic control strategies to be employed on the periphery of the EPZ.
[ Robinson]
I head the External Organizations Divi-sion of LERIO.
My professional qualifications are being separately offered into evidence as part of the document entitled " Professional Qualifications l
of LILCO Witnesses."
As Manager of the' External Organizations Division of LERIO, I am familiar with the planning efforts being made for handicapped residents in the EPZ.
[Weismantle]
I am employed by LILCO as Manager of the Local Emergency Response Implementing Organiza-tion (LERIO).
My professional qualifications are l
l being separately offered into evidence as part of l
the document entitled " Professional Qualifications of LILCO Witnesses."
I am responsible for devel-oping and implementing the offsite emergency re-sponse plan for Shoreham, which includes
1 l notification to special facilities and the handi-capped at home.
3.
Q.
What is Contention 73.B?
A.
[Cordaro, Lieberman, Robinson, Weismantle]
Conten-tion 73.B reads as follows:
Contention 73.B.
The LILCO Plan does not pro-vide for the assistance and equipment necessary to accomplish an evacuation of handicapped persons at home, and thus fails to comply with 10 CFR Section 50.47(b)(1), 50.47(b)(3), 50.47(b)(5) and 50.47(b)(8), and NUREG 0654, Sections II.A.3, C.4, E and J.
4.
Q.
What are the legal standards cited in Contention 73.B?
A.
[Cordaro, Lieberman, Robinson, Weismantle]
The legal standards cited in Contention 73.B are as follows:
10 C.F._R.
650.47(b)(1)
Primary responsibilities for emergen-cy response by the nuclear facility li-censee and by State and local organiza-tions within the Emergency Planning Zones have been assigned, the emergency responsibilities of the various sup-porting organizations have been specifi-cally established, and each principal re-sponse organization has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis.
Arrangements for requesting and ef-fectively using assistance resources have been made, arrangements to accommodate State and local staff at the licensee's near-site Emergency Operations Facility have been made, and other organizations i
. _ _ capable of augmenting the planned re-sponse have been identified.
Procedures have been established for notification, by the licensee, of State and local response organizations an-' for notification of emergency personnel by all organizations; the content of initial and followup messages to response organi-zations and the public has been estab-lished; and means to provide early noti-fication and clear instruction to the populace within the plume exposure path-way Emergency Planning Zone have been es-tablished.
10 C.F.R.
f %^.47(b)(8)
Adequate emergency facilites and equipment to support the emergency re-sponse are provided and maintained.
NUREG-0654, II.C.4 Each organization shall identify nu-clear and other facilities, organizations or individuals which can be relied upon in an emergency to provide assistance.
Such assistance shall be identified and supported by appropriate letters of agreement.
l NUREG-0654, II.E Procedures have been established for notification, by the licensee of State and local response organizations and for notification of emergency personnel by all response organizations; the content of initial.and followup messages to re-I sponse organizations and the public has been established; and means to provide early notification and clear instruction to the populace within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone have been established.
I l
, NUREG-0654, II.J A range of protective actions have been developed for the plume exposure pathway EPZ for emergency workers and the public.
Guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an emergency, consistent with Federal guidance, are de-i veloped and in place, and protective ac-tions for the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ appropriate to the locale have been developed.
I.
Contentions 73.B.1 and 73.B.3 5.
Q.
What are Contentions 73.B.1 and 73.B.3?
A.
(Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle]
Contentions 73.B.1 and 73.B.3 read as follows:
Contention 73.B.1 1.
The only provision for notifying-non-deaf handicapped individuals of a pending evacuation is by means of a tele-phone call from the LILCO Home Coordinator.
(OPIP 3.6.5).
This is an inadequate and ineffective means of noti-fying many handicapped individuals such as those who are bedridden, unable to get to a telephone or unable to communicate on a telephone, and thus LILCO fails to comply with 10 CFR Section 50.47(b)(5) and NUREG-0654, Sections II.E.5 and E.6.
(See FEMA Report at 9).
Contention 73.B.3.
3.
One LILCO employee -- the Home Coordinator -- is responsible for con-tacting all the' handicapped persons and identifying and contacting all reception centers (none of which are identified in the Plan).
(OPIP 3.6.5, Section 5.1.2).
While OPIP 3.6.5 provides that the Home l
Coordinator should "[d] raw on Communica-tions and Administrative support l
personnel to assist in this effort,"
there is no indication that such person-nel will be available.
Thus, there is no assurance that disabled persons will be notified promptly enough to permit timely evacuation.
6.
Q.
What are the additional legal standards cited in Contentions 73.B.1 and 73.B.3?
A.
[Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle]
The ad-ditional legal standards cited in Conten-tions 73.B.1 and 73.B.3 are as follows:
s NUREG-0654, II.E.5 State and local government organizations shall establish a system for disseminating to the public appropriate information contained in initial and fol-lowup messages received from the licensee including the appropriate notification to appropriate broadcast media, e.g.,
the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS).
NUREG-0654, II.E.6 i
Each organization shall establish admin-istrative and physical means, and the time required for notifying and providing prompt instructions to the public within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone.
(See Appendix 3.)
It shall be the licensee's responsibility to demonstrate that such means exist, re-gardless of who implements this require-ment.
It shall be the responsibility of the State and local governments to acti-vate such a system.
7.
Q.
Have any special alerting arrangements been made for the handicapped who live at home?
A.
(Cordaro,' Robinson, Weismantle]
Yes.
LERIO is
.. _ maintaining an Invalid / Disabled Evacuation Listing that will be used by the Home Coordinator to iden-tify the handicapped for purposes of:
(1) dis-patching appropriate vehicles to assist handicapped persons in evacuating; (2) notifying handicapped persons that a vehicle has been dispatched to as-sist in their evacuation; and (3) notifying the re-ception center or hospital designated to receive a handicapped person.
A sample table for the Invalid / Disabled Evacuation listing is in Attach-ment 1 of OPIP 3.6.5, which is appended to this testimony as Attachment 1.
Thus, in addition to siren notification,.LERO will contact handicapped individuals by telephone to confirm that a vehicle is being diapatched to as-sist in their evacuation and to inform them where they will be transported.
A description of the Home Coordinator's emergency role regarding home-bound handicapped persons is found in 5 5.1.2 of OPIP 3.6.5 of the Plan, which is appended to this testimony as Attachment 2.

1 8.
Q.
How many homebound handicapped persons will be called to inform them that a vehicle is being dis-patched to their residence to assist them in evacuating?
A.
[Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle]
As of February 8, 1984, LILCO had identified about 75 homebound hand-icapped persons who will be called if the entire EPZ is to be evacuated.
See LILCO's testimony on Contention 73.A (Preregistration of the Handi-capped).
If additional handicapped persons requiring assistance are identified by LILCO, they also will be called to inform them that a vehicle is being dispatched to their residence to assist them in evacuating.
9.
Q.
Who will be available to contact the handicapped at home?
A.
[Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle]
The Home Coordinator has the primary responsibility for con-i tacting these people.
Section 5.1.2 of OPIP 3.6.5, however, provides that the Home Coordinator may draw on Communications and Administrative support personnel to assist in contacting handicapped per-sons and the reception centers to which the handi-capped persons will be evacuated.
Figure 2.1.1, which is appended to this testimony as Attachment 3,
shows that there are 15 administrative support l
personnel who could be drawn upon to assist the 1
. Home Coordinator in making these phone calls.
In addition to the 35 administrative personnel, there are communicators who could be drawn upon to pro-vide additional assistance.
10.
Q.
How long will it take to contact the handicapped at home?
A.
[Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle]
It depends on how much of the EPZ is part of the evacuation protec-tive action recommendation and the number of sup-port personnel assisting the Home Coordinator.
If the entire EPZ were to be evacuated, and about 75 people were to be called, it would take about 45 minutes if five LERO workers made these calls.
i (This is based on an estimate that each call would take three minutes.)
11.
Q.
What other responsibilities do the communications and administrative support personnel have under the Plan?
A.
(Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle]
Section 2.1-6 of-the Plan, which is appended to this testimony as,
states that the administrative sup-port personnel are to provide " clerical and admin-istrative support for LERO" under the Logistics Support Coordinator.
This general description al-lows these personnel to perform miscellaneous tasks, including making home calls, maintaining status boards, and transmitting messages.
' 12.
Q.
Contention 73.B.3 states that there is no indica-tion that communications and administrative support personnel will be available to assist the Home Coordinator.
How do you plan to ensure that such support personnel are available to assist?
A.
[Cordaro, Robinson]
Use of personnel at the EOC I
will depend on emergency needs.
As the emergency develops, different types of administrative and communications tasks will take priority.
Available j
personnel will be assigned tasks by the various coordinators, who will be working with the Logis-tics Support Coordinator.
Thus, if phone calls to the handicapped at home were a priority, personnel would be assigned to that task accordingly.
[Weismantle]
As Manager of LERO, I will set prio-i rities and allocate personnel and resources, as needed, for contacting the handicapped.
1 13.
Q.
What if handicapped persons are noc near the tele-phone or are unable to communicate by telephone when LERO attempts to contact them?
A.
[Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle]
It is not a sig-nificant problem if a handicepped person is not reached by telephone.
The phone call serves only to give these people advance notice that an appro-priate vehicle has been dispatched to assist them 1
in evacuating.
The evacuation vehicles are dis-patched automatically to the residence of the l

Moreover, Section 5.1.2.d of OPIP 3.6.5 of the Plan, which is appended to this testimony as part of Attachment 2, provides that if persons requiring evacuation transportation are not near their phones at the time of notification, they will be called again at a later time.
14.
Q.
Please summarize your testimony for Contentions 73.B.1 and 73.B.3.
A.
[Cordaro, Robinson, Weismantle]
Appropriate vehi-cles wil be dispatched to the residences of invalid persons to assist them in evacuating, regardless of whether they are contacted by telephone.
The tele-phone calls are secondary and serve to notify these people that an appropriate vehicle has been dis-patched.
There are 15 administrative support per-sonnel who could be drawn upon to assist the Home Coordinator in calling the handicapped at home.
There also are communicators who could be drawn upon to provide additional assistance.
J II.
Contentions 73.B.4 and 73.B.5 15.
Q.
What are Contentions 73.B.4 and 73.B.5?
j A.
[Cordaro, Lieberman, Weismantle]
Contentions 73.B.4 and 73.B.5 read as follows:
Contention 73.B.4 4.
The proposed evacuation would take far too long, and as a result, hand-icapped people would be likely to receive health-threatening doses of radiation be-cause evacuating vehicles would encounter conge'stion from other mobilization and evacuation traffic, and thus would be substantially delayed in traveling to the homes of handicapped individuals, and to relocation centers.
Contention 73.B.5 5.
The LILCO Plan calls for the deaf to be alerted of an accident, and advised of the appropriate protective action, by LILCO route alert drivers who are expect-ed to drive to the home of each deaf res-ident within the EPZ (OPIP 3.6.5).
This proposed notification will not be timely, however, since route alert drivers will be delayed by mobilization and evacuation traffic.
Furthermore, even disregarding expected traffic conditions, there is no assurance that enough route alert drivers will be assigned to this function to en-able LILCO to carry out such notification promptly.
16.
Q.
Could you explain how time estimates for the evacu-ation of handicapped persons living at home and needing special transportation were derived?
A.
[Lieberman, Weismantle]
Yes.
The evacuation time i
estimates for handicapped persons at home are really the summation of four discrete steps:
! 1 1.
The time at which equipment becomes available at the staging area to transport the handicapped from the EPZ; 2.
The time needed to travel from the staging area to the location of the first stop; 3.
The time needed to make all stops; and 4.
The time needed to travel from the location of the last stop to the EPZ boundary.
Before the times needed to complete each step can be i
calculated, it is necessary to make an assumption about the speed of the assumed accident.
For this analysis, it was conservatively assumed that this se-i quence would be rapid; an order to evacuate would be made 25 minutes after the initial public notification -- this is the same event sequence as-J l
sumed for calculating the evacuation times for the general public needing bus transportation (see Appen-dix A, p.IV-74b).
For the purposes of this contention, the assumptions that were made to calculate the times needed to com-plete steps 1, 2 and 4 were the same for-each of the three types of vehicles needed to transport the I
handicapped -- ambulances, ambulettes and buses.
For i
l step 1, it was assumed that the necessary vehicles l
l would arrive at the staging area within two hours of i
the initial public notification.
I l
l
.i For step 2, it was conservatively assumed that the first stop for all vehicles would be ten miles from the staging area.
Since the trip from the staging area to the first stop will generally be in a counterflow direction to evacuating traffic, an aver-age speed of approximately 25 miles per hour was as-sumed for this leg.
Thus, 25 minutes was assumed to be the time needed to complete step 2.
For step 4, it was again conservatively assumed that the last stop would be located eight miles from the EPZ boundary.
For this leg, it was assumed that the entire trip would be made with evacuating traffic at a speed of 6 miles per hour.
An exception was made to this assumption if step 4 was found to be completed after the time the last automobile was assumed to have evacuated cne EPZ.
In that case, it was assumed that the ambulance, ambulette or bus would either travel at a speed of 20 miles per hour out of the EPZ or would overtake the end of any remaining queue and would de-l part at the time the last automobile departed the EPZ, whichever is later.
For step 3, different assumptions had to be made about the number of stops, the distance between stops, and the time needed to complete each stop depending on the i
l 1
-- l l
l type of vehicle involved.
For ambulances, it was as-I sumed that each ambulanca would make two stops, that the distance between these stops would be five miles, and that each stop would take 10 minutes to board the passenger.
For ambulettes, it was assumed that each ambulette would make seven stops, that the total dis-tance traveled to make these stops would be 15 miles, and that the time to board the handicapped person at each stop would be ten minutes.
Finally, with respect to buses, it was assumed that each bus would collect 20 passengers, that these passengers would be located one mile apart, and that it would take one minute for each passenger to board the bus.
Taking these assump-tions and adding the assumption that the speed at which these vehicles would travel between stops would be 10 miles per hour, then the times needed to com-plete step 3 would be 50 minutes for ambulances; 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> 40 minutes for ambulettes; and 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> 15 minutes for buses.
17.
Q.
Based on these individual step times, what-were the total evacuation time estimates for the handicapped at home?
A.
[Lieberman)
For people needing-ambulance assistance, the evacuation of the handicapped at home could be ac-complished in 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> 10 minutes following the order to evacuate (assuming a period of 25 minutes between
!' i the initial public notification and an order to evacu-r I
ate).
The evacuation of ambulettes and buses would be
~
completed in 5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> 5 minutes and 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> 55 minutes, l
respectively -- virtually the same time needed to evacuate the automobile-owning public.
18.
Q.
Would these estimated evacuation times expose handi-capped individuals to " health-threatening doses of ra-diation" as suggested by Contention 73.B.4?
7 A.
[Cordaro, Weismantle]
No.
As just noted by Mr.
Lieberman, the evacuation time estimates for the hand-icapped at home are less than or equal to the evacua-1 tion time estimates for the automobile-owning public.
Since the protective action recommendations of OPIP 3.6.1 are based on the principle of dose minimization' and are keyed to the time needed to eveduatetthe automobile-owning.public, it follows that the handi-capped at home would also be protected.
19.
Q.
Contention 73.B.5 suggests that the notification of-
~
the deaf at home will be untimely.
Is there any basis for this conclusion?
A.
[Cordaro, Lieberman, Weismantle]
No.
At the outset, it is important to'ndte that part of this small.
subgroup of people.that wile be notified,by route
[
alert drivers will evacuat'e-the EPZ'in 'their own auto-mobiles.
Thus, based 1on the reasoning explained in
~
lengthy discussions of mobilization times and c) '
e"5
,,(.
5 2
l l
l saturated flow conditions that occurred during the litigation of Contention 65, it can be seen that if these deaf people depart their homes within four hours 1
of the order to evacuate they will be able to complete their evacuation within the time estimated for the evacuation of the general public.
The-notification process will certainly be carried out within this time frame.
The LILCO Transition Plan specifies that there will be 60 route alert drivers.
Plan, Figure 2.1.1.
These drivers will be equally divided among the three staging areas.
Their primary responsibility will be to alert the general public in the event of a siren failure.
Absent a failure of a substantial number of the sirens, route alert drivers will,be-available im-mediately to notify deaf people.at home of the need to evacuate.
We make the following conservative assump-tions:
1.
Route alert drivers will need to travel 10 miles-from the staging area to the first home needing no-tification.
This trip will be made at an average speed of 20 miles per
- hour, 2.
Route alert drivers will spend no more than five minutes. attempting to notify the people at any given stop, and 3.
The travel speed'between stops will be 10 miles per hour.
Individual stops will be separated by 3 miles.
_. Based on these assumptions, it can be demonstrated that each spare route alert driver will be able to no-tify six deaf people within the first two hours fol-lowing an order to evacuate.
Given the relatively large number of expected spare route alert drivers, notification will be completed in a timely manner.
Even if a total failure of the siren system is as-sumed, notification of the deaf at home should be timely since one or two stops could be assigned to each route alert driver following the completion of his or her notification duties.
