- 2. Have you eamined th3 preliminacy draft of LP&L's emergency evacuation plan?
Answer. Yes, I Fave.
- 3. Would you please give your )rofessional opinion of this brnchure?
Answer. This is an ipparently fragmented Emergency Evacuation Plan putlished by Louisiara Power and Light Company. Further comment must awai t the cumpleted product. It consists of the 1982 Information Brochure, Emcrgency Action Plan, Protective Action Sectors, The Region Within 50 Miles of Waterford 3, The Pegion Within 10 Miles of Waterford 3 The Area Within 5 Miles of Waterford 3, a fragmented description of area and plant, and an incomplete and complicated glossary with additional infonnation on How Waterford 3 Works.
Personnel in the Army involved in Plans, Operations, and Training are given a small card with the acronym KISS printed on it. KISS is " Keep It Simple Stupid." This brochure /iolates this principle. After studying the material listed above, I am confused.
The brochure seems to show io understanding of the target population or subgroups within the tarjet population. There are differences in ethnic backgrounds, education,1nd other facets of the people living within the evacuation area. It shovs little comprehension that there are various personality types living in the danger area, i .e., how different people will react to the knonn and u1known.
A good plan mast have short sentences with an action verb, for easier comprehension . The evacaation ilan should be pocket sized and be hand-delivered to residents and new arrivals in the area by personnel who are able to explain the hazards of radiation and evacuation procedures. When mailed, the plan will probably end up in the garbage can. Delivery by an individual will give the recipient an opportunity to ask questions and to feel that he is a part of the evacultion plan.
~
Nuclear Emergency plans shouid not be consolidated with other plans.
Nuclear dangers are unique and :,hould be deal t with appropriately.
The brochure takes a "Pollyanna Approach" as to who would be af fected by a nuclear accident. Persons familiar wi'.h nuclear reactors would not and do not believe the s~:atemen: that Al and A2 (nearest " ground zero")
would be the only danger area. The ten mile radius is questionable. This failJre to " level" with the pubiic r.oncerning the danger of a nuclear accident not only undermines public confidence in the evacuation plan, but also indicates that LPSL does not regard a nuclear accident as serious business.
The " protective Action Sectors" is limited to the extent that peuple can follow written instructions: illiterates and persons with limited education will not be able to follow the instructions. Only individualized instructions can detennine whether these per;ons understand the instructions well enough to follow them correctly in any emergency.
It would be 9 referable to use line route maps for each area with the iniormation in graphics and color. Persons in the evacuation area should be issued a checklist of what s;pplies they will need if evacuated from the danger area. A state or parish agency whould keep a current and updated list of persons needing transportation. Some may not have telephones, requiring individual att2ntion to tneir evacuation. It is confusing that the brochure suggests th)t phon 3s not be used, while the evacuation plan requires certain persons to fenJ for themselves in obtaining transportation out c f the danger area.
It is important that persons from the same geographical areas be evacuated to tLe same location. The brochure's plan, which apparently calls for schoci children to be evacuated to a different location than their parents l
t
m is rot practical . This will caase mass confusion. The brochure fails te state where medichl f acilities, doctors and nurses, and first aid stations will be located. It makes no reference to provisions for obtaining prescription drugs. These deficiencies undenuine confidence in the evacuatica plan and cause people to disregard other infonnation and instructions in the brochure.
Tne plant description and llaa Waterford 3 Works doesn't have anything to oc with the evacuation plan. This type of extraneous material is only confLsing and creates the impression that the brochure is only LP&L propaganda and thus can be thrown away.
In my experience an evacuation plan must speak directly - remember " KISS" -
and to the educational level of all persons executing it. The LP&L brochure igneres these fundamental principles.
In summary, the nethod of distributing the brochure is faulty and will result in most persons within the evacuation area being unfamiliar with the coatents of the brochurt and procedures they, their children, and relatives ara expected to follow during an emergency evacuation. A large percentage of those persons who do not imitediately discard or misplace the brochure will not be able to read or understand the brochure or what they are expected to do in an emergency because its reading level is too advanced, it is written only in English, and the infoniation and instructions contained in the brochure ara presented in a conftsing manner. These are serious flaws in any educational materials ard instructions. They are inexcusable when they are coitained in evacuation instruc tions which must be followed correctly under extremely stressful concitions. There is no irargin for error when the lives and health of so many people depencs upon effective communication of infonnation.
Any evacuation plan which depends to any substantial degree upon the mailing of this brochure to residents in the evacuation area will result in large numbers of persons not evacuating the area or being injured by exposure
, to radiation or other means because of the inadequacy of this brochure.
I recommend strongly that a small-scale unannounced trial or practice evacuation be undertaken in an area of the parish where the educational level is lower than average. Following this trial run, the brochure should be amended and rewritten, incorporating lessons learned in the trial evacuation. It is not acceptable
! procedure to publish an evacuation plan and then not conduct at least a small scale unannounced practice evacuation to determine whether the plan in the evacuation pamphlet will work.
Furthermore, it is not acceptable educational procedure to present an unfinished product such as the LP&L pamphlet I have reviewed.
