Dr. John Kiss Special Education Director Berks County Intermediate Unit 2900 St. Lawrence Avenue Reading, PA 19606

Dear Dr. Kiss:

As I discussed with Dr. Deitrich, I am working with the Owen J. Roberts School District to develop a radiological en.ergency response plan for incidents at the Limerick Generating Station. Part of that planning process is to develop an agreement with the Twin Valley School District to act as a " host school" district, in the event of an evacuation of Owen J. Roberts students during school hours. A " host school" is where students who are evacuated remain until they are picked up by their parent or guardian. Owen J. Roberts special education students would also be evac-uated to Twin Valley School District (High School and/or Twin Valley Elemen-tary Center).

It would be helpful to the planning process if you would discuss with the special education staff working in the Twin Valley area, the possibility of voluntarily remaining, after Twin Valley dismissal, to assist Owen J. Roberts special education staff to supervise special education students until parents l or guardians arrive to pick up the students.

I will await ycur response. If you need additional information or assistance, give me a call or you can contact Ms. Nancy Krauss, Business Manager, Twin Valley School District, who is coordinating development of the host school agreement.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

/

.~t Mr. Richard T. Brown, Chairman ' :,, Mi s '

Board of Supervisors Lower Providence Township 180 Park Lane Drive Eagleville, PA 19403

Dear Mr. Brown:

This correspondence is in response to the transcript of the public hearing held on April 25, 1984, concerning Draft 5 of the Lower Providence Township Radiological Emergency Response Plan for Incidents at the Limerick Generating Sta tion . The transcript, which was first received by me on August 21, 1984, presents five questions which could not be answered during the hearing.

The following is a summary of each question, a source reference, and a response:

Question #1, page 6, line 16: At any given time, how many people would possibly be on site at Limerick?

Response: According to Philadelphia Electric Company, there will be a maximum of approximately 175 personnel on site at any given time once the plant is operational. This is exclusive of any construction personnel that may be present.

Question #2, page 45, line 3: What is the target date for commer-cial operation?

Response: Spring 1985.

Question #3, page 49, line 14: What are the relocation sites for Eagleville Hospital ?

Response: The most current draft of the Eagleville Hospital Plan indicates that the detoxification patients are to be relocated to Warminster General Hospital. The remainder of the patients will be relocated to a mass care facility operated by the Red Cross.

Question #4, page 80, line 10: What is the time factor from the time that the alert went out until the evacuation should begin?

Response: According to the final draft of the Evacuation Time Esti-mate, which was prepared by HMM Associates, Inc., it is assumed Corporate Office 1370 Washington Pike . Bridgeville. Pennsylvanic 15017 . (412) 257-1350

Mr. Richard T. Brown '(2) August 29, 1984 that no vehicles will begin to evacuate during the 15-minute initial notification period. It is also assumed that there would be a mini-mum preparation / mobilization time of 15 minutes for all population sectors. Accordingly, no vehicles will .begin to evacuate until 30 minutes following the initial notification. Additionally, pemanent residents with access to automobiles will take varying amounts of time to begin evacuating. Some persons will leave as quickly as possible; most will take some time to prepare, pack valuables and iclothes and then depart; and some will take added time to secure property before departing. Based upon a review of site-specific characteristics of the Limerick EPZ, as well as through discussions with emergency preparedness officials, it was assumed that there would be a two-hour period over which permanent residents would begin to evacuate.

Question #5, oage 82, line 4: Does the public information brochure have shutdown procedures for each homeowner?

Response: The draft version of the Limerick Generating Station Public Information Brochure states: "When instructed to leave, secure

- your home as you would for a three-day trip."

Hopeful,1y, you will find the above responses satisfactory. If you require any additional infomation, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerety ,

1. Oosimeters - Device for measuring and recording exposure to radioactive emanations.

.2. Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Announcements - Official announcements made at the county level for the' specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from the County Commissioners, or-their designated official representative, to the residents of the County. Announcements are made over the

-legal.ly designated alerting and warning (EBS) network.

of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery

.for emergencies of any kind, whether from enemy attack, man-made or natural sources.

'4. Emergency' Operations' Center (EOC) - A specific location within

-the nursing home complex designated. for use by the Emergency Management Team to direct operations in the event of an '

emergency. condition.

5. Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) . A generic area defined about a nuclear facility to facilitate offsite emergency planning and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.

6. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident -(hereinafter called an ,

" incident") - An incident is an event or condition at a fixed nuclear facility which could result in a negative impact on public health and safety. Four incident classifications have been -identified; from the least serious to the most serious they are: Unusual Event,. Alert, Site Emergency and General -

Emergency.- (Note: Site or General Emergency classifications are not to be confused with a " Declaration of Disaster Emergency" made by the Governor.) Descriptions of the four incident classifications are as follows:

a. Unusual Event - Events are in process or nave occurred which indicate a poten,.al degradation of the level of safety of the plant.. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further

' degradation of safety systems occurs.

l

-2 Revision d

r -.-

b. Alert - Events are in process or have occurred wnich involve

- an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to De limited to small fractions of tne EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels, c.- Site Emergency - Events are in process or nave occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plan functions needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary.

d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degrada-tion or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases 'can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more tnan the immediate site area.

-7. Host Facility - A nursing home or other facility located outside the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ with which a formal written agreement has been made for the hosting of evacuated residents.

8. Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility wnich pctentially is subject to radiation exposure as a result of an incident involving radioactive material emanating from the facility. Such potential exposure could involve: (a) whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials, and (b) inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The EPZ for this pathway consists of an area of approximately ten miles in radius around the fixed nuclear facility. (The exact size and configuration of the plume exposure pathway EPZ for the Limerick Generating Station was determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demo' graphy, topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.)

9. Protective Action Guide (PAG) - Projected dose to individuals in the general population which warrants protective action.

10. Protective Actions - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. (Sometimes referred to as protective measures.) ,

11. ,ublic Information Statements - Public announcements made by Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency or County spokespersons via newspaper, radio or television to explain government actions being taken to protect the public inrevent of any public emer-

~

gency. Tne purpose of the announcenent is to provide accurate information, prevent panic and counteract misinformation and rumors. Reference to the emergency situation itself will se made only 1". the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about it.

t 3 Revision 0

12. Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services . (RACES) - Licensed volunteer radio amateur (HAM) Coramunicar.ons, personnel, equipped and affiliated witn the County OEP.

13. Radiological Emergency Response ~ Plans (RERP) - Detailed incident response plans deve' loped Dy the State and its agencies, County and Municipal emergen:y management agencies and special facilities in coordination with the Pennsylvania Emergency

' Management. Agency and the Limerick Generating Station.

14. Radioprotective Urugs - A medication (generally Potassium Iodide) which blocks the absorption of radioactive Iodine-131 by the thyroid gland, which will be issued to individuals required i to stay within tne Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ.

15. . Sheltering - Action by the public to take advantage of the l ' protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radioactive plume.

i '16. State of Disaster Emergency - A state of disaster emergency

, exists whenever the Governor issues a declaration of disaster emergency. A disaster emergency shall be declared by executive order or proclamation of the Governor at any time upon finding that a disaster has occurred or that the occurrence or the tnreat of a disaster is imminent. The state of disaster emergency continues until the Governor finds that the tnreat or danger has passed and terminates it by executive order or proclamation, but no state of disaster emergency may continue for longer than 90 days unless renewed by the Governor. The term, state of disaster emergency, is not to be confused witn tne incident classification terms called Site Emergency and General Emergency.

17. Transportation Resources - Modes of transportation for evaucation of nursing home' residents; generally includes ambulances, buses and trucks.

RADIOLOGICAL EMEdGENCY RESPortSE PLAri .

RIVER CREST CENTER I. INTRODUCTION ,

A. Purpose The following Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) is "

designed to prepare River Crest Center personnel to respond appropriately to emergencies or potential emergency situations in tne event of an incident at tne Limerick Generating Station.

Tnis plan covers the nine nouses located at the Mont Clare Campus and the one nouse on Hign Street in Pottstown. -

The objective of this plan is to identify each necessary function, determine wno will be responsible for it, assign autnority witnin tnat function, and illustrate now tnat function will relate to --

others. ,_ ,

This Radiological Emergency Response Plan is a working document, _s action-oriented and designed as a guide for the time of stress. It .

is intended to be flexible and quickly adaptable to produce a safe ir-environment for both residents and staff.

This document is intended to conform to all appropriate federal, state, county and municipal statutes and accrediting / licensing agency regulations for the safety and care of resicents and employees during a radiological emergency.

~"

Urientation of new personnel should include issuance of appropriate sections of this plan and instruction in the duties assigned therein. _

B.

Autnority Tne autnority for the preparation of this plan is provided by P. L.

D. Definitions Tne following definitions refer to terms mentioned within tne text of this plan or commonly used in reference to long-term care / nursing facilities.

I

1. Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Announcements - Ufficial announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from tne County Commissioners, or their designated official representative, to q

t1e residents of the county. Announcements are made over the legally designated alerting and warning (EBS) network.

2. Emergency Management - Tne judicious planning, assignment and coordination of all available resources in an integrated program of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery for emergencies of any kind, whether from enemy attack, man-made or natural sources.

3. Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) - A generic area defined about a nuclear facility to facilitate offsite emergency plannin9 and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure patnways.

4. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident (hereinafter called an

" incident") - An incident is an event or condition at a fixed nuclear facility wnich could result in a negative impact on public health and safety. Four incident classifications have been identified; from the least serious to the most serious they are: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Emergency and General Emergency. (Note: Site or General Emergency classifications are not to be confused witn a " Declaration of Disaster Emergency" made by the Governor.) Descriptions of the four incident classifications are as follows:

a. Unusual Event - Events are in process or have occurred whicn indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs,

b. Alert - Events are in process or nave occurred whicn involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of tne level of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.

2 Revision u

c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or nave occurred which involve actual or li<ely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of tne puDlic. Any releases are not expected to eXCeea Ega protective Action au,celine exposure levels excest near tne site boundarj.

d. General Eiaergencj - Events are in process or have oCCJrred whicn involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonaDly expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels of fsite for more than tne immediate site area.

5. Host Facility - A facility located outside the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ with which a formal written agreement has been made for the hosting of evacuated residents.

6. Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility wnich potentially is subject to radiation exposure as a result of an incident involving radioactive material emanating from tne facility. Such potential exposure could involve: (a) whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials, and (b) inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The EPZ for this patnway consists of an area of approximately ten miles in radius around the fixed nuclear facility. (The exact size and configuration of the plume exposure pathway EPZ for the Limerick Generating Station was determined in relation to local :

emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demography, topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.

7. Protective Action Guide (PAG) - Projected dose to individuals in the general population which warrants protective action.

8. Protective Actions - An action taken to avoid or reduce a ]

projected dose of radiation. (Sometimes referred to as protective measures.) ]

9. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency or county official -

spokespersons via newspaper, radio or television to explain government actions being taken to protect the public in event of any public emergency. The purpose of tne announcement is to provide accurate information, prevent panic and counteract misinformation and rumors. Reference to the emergency situation itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for l governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about it.

10. Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES) - Licensed i volunteer radio amateur (HAM) communications personnel, equipped ]

and af filiated with tne County OEP. J 3 Revision u

+

P

11. Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) - Detailed incident I response plans developed by the State and its agencies, county and municipal emergency management agencies and special facilities in coordination with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and the fixed nuclear facility. ,

12. Sneltering - Action by tne public to take advantage or tne protection against radiation exposure afforded Dy remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radioactive plume. j

13. State of Disaster Emergency - A state of disaster emergency 1 exists wnenever the Governor issues a declaration of disaster emergency. A disaster emergency snall be declared by executive oroer or proclamation of the Governor at any time upon findin3 that a disaster has occurred or that the occurrence or tne threat of a disaster is imminent. The state of disaster _

emergency continues until the Governor finds that tne threat or danger has passed and terminates it by executive order or proclamation, but no state of disaster emergency may continue for longer than 90 days unless renewed Dj the Governor. The __-

term, state of disaster emergentj, is not to be confused witn the incident classification tenns called Site Emergency and c General Emergency.

~

14. Transportation Resources - Modes of transportation for evaucation of residents; generally includes ambulances, buses, .~

vans and automobiles.

IS. Unmet Needs - Capabilities and/or resources required to support emergency operations but neither available nor provided for at tne respective levels of emergency response.

Dear Vince:

i e

In reviewing with the local emergency management coordinators and members of the County emergency operations staff, the drill of July 25, 1984, one theme becomes very apparent very quickly. That is the role that training played in the preparedness of the municipal -

EOC teams and the role that it played in the preparedness of the local emergency service organizations.

Essentially those organizations which participated the most in training were the most ready and those that had not were the least. ,

The training given by Energy Consultants on behalf of the Philadelphia Electric Company recognized this need ano addressed it. However, it is also very clear that many of the agencies felt that the training they had already received was but a first step in a series of different training environments that they felt had to occur before they reached the point of maximum preparedness. As you know, Chester County Emergency Services and Energy Consultants cooperated to present a series of table-top exercises in the weeks immediately prior to the drill. _

From all reports from local directors these proved to be the most helpful of the training sessions that they were exposed to.

In many cases, the local directors have indicated that they wish to consider this series of tabl,-top exercises and to expand them into the non-nuclear arena. As you know, one of the constant themes of the preparedness effort in Northern Chester County has been that the improve-ments in preparedness will result in the readiness for non-nuclear plant emergencies as well as for RERP. There are a number of exercises that are available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency through PEMA which will continue the process of education on the part of local emergency staff personnel. However, a' commitment in time and personnel g a :

WMM b# 40L nc CC .b82 i %..u./#

n,

Mr. Vincent S. Boyer August 17, 1984 must be made so that the municipalities in the Li.merick EPZ can receive further training and further exercising.

I have already had one meeting with Mr. Robert Patterson of Energy Consultants concerning this area and feel, based on my conversation with him, my own staff and the local directors, the following things need to be done:

1) Additional training in the basic emergency worker program must continue for all agencies which may become involved in a RERP response.

2) A special program must be presented for the amateur radio operators. As you know, there are usually people from out-side the municipality who travel into the local E0C's to set up communications links. Because of their location, they have not been able to participate in the local EOC training in Northern Chester County but need the education as far as EOC procedures and the use of dosimetry, K1 and other protective measures.

3) A follow-up course should be developed for emergency workers and EOC staf' which is of a more practical nature concerning the duties of each individual staff member in an EOC or each individual member of a route alerting team.

4) A continuing series of table-top exercises must be deseloped and presented on a regular basis including nea-nuclear power plant as well as nuclear power plant themes.

5) Those agencies which have assignments requiring the use of skills not normally exercised by routine emergency response should receive practical, hands-on training and practical hands-on exercising on a regular schedule.

I believe that all of these points are readily achieveable and within the capability of the training group of Energy Consultants.

I also feel that all of them are necessary to maintain the interest and commitmeat by the emergency workers both at the EOC and e ergency service organization level in the Limerick EPZ. I would be more than happy to meet with you and/or members of your staf f to discuss this in further detail at any time.

s Sincerely, ,

Dear Robbi,

in reviewing the results of the exercise on July 25, 1984 one point became very clear. As you know, the sire.n system installed by the Philadelphis Electric Company in the three counties is designed to operate on one of two bases. First is the activation of a single siren requiring sixty-seven acti-vations to set of f all the sirens in Chester County and the other is the activation of all sixty-seven sirens simultaneously.

In view of the fact that we have told the municipalities that the knowledge, information, materials, skills that they have gained from participating in the Radiological Emergency Response Planning for the Limerick Generating Station would also enhance their ability to respond to all other man-made and natural disasters, it would be a great benefit if we could activate sirens by township as well. This would allow activation of the strens system for a particular township in the event of a local emergency and also 'it would allow for activation of the Emergency Broadcast Network for the northern part of the County at the same time. I think that this would be of great benefit not only to the Depart-ment of Emergency Services and the local municipalities but also would prevent any problems in the event of non-Limerick disasters since we would not have to set off all sixty-seven sirens at once.

I would appreciate your looking into this issue. I believe it is a small change in the software program to allow this. As you know, the drill nas revealed the necessity for some sof tware program changes anyway and I feel that this can be accomplished at the same time. I feel that this issue would be a continued. . . . . . . . .

Dear Robbie:

At our meeting on August 21 with Paul Locke and as a result of our discussion about the siren systen and its controls, it was felt by all three counties that there would be distinct advantages to having a program that permitted the selection and activation of sirens in " municipality" groups; i.e. all the sirens in one town-ship or one borough at one tine. Presently, we'd have to activate the sirens one at a time to get the same effect and that takes con- .

siderably 1coger to do. . We asked Paul to investigate the possibility of doing this and he prcmised to check, but said it would be helpful if he had your blessing. Will you bless?
