AFFIDAVIT OF EDWARD W. DEEMARAIS I, Edward W. Desmarais, being on oath, depose and say as follows:

(

1. I am a member of the Independent RevieV Team for '

New Hampshire Yankee. Since Januari of 1988 I have had responsibility as Project Manager for the Massachus.tts Public Alert and Notification System. A statement of my professional qualifications is attached hereto and marked "Ac a l 2. The purpose of this affidavit is to address allegations in contention Bases A.1, A.5, A.9, A.10, A.11, B.

1, B.3 and B.4. The allegations I address aret (1) message coverage will not be provided at the sound pressure levels required in NUREG-0654 (2) the time needed to accomplish the 8809260077Sh443 PDR ADOCK O G PDR -

Basis A.11 Siren Voice Message Coverage f i

3. The "Seabrook Station Public Alert and Notification System FEMA-REP-10 Design Report," submitted to FEMA, Region

, I, described thm means by which siren tone coverage would be l

provided to those portions of the Seabrook Station plume exposure pathway EPZ within New Hampshire and Massachusetts. i However, it is clear from this report ie.g. p. 1-17 copy

attached and marked "B") that the siren tone coverage for

that portion of the EPZ within Massachusetts is based on the j coverage being provided by the Vehicular Alert and

! Notification System (VAN 3) vehicles. The additional siron l

tone coverage from the pole-mounted New Hampshire siren

system was not used in determining the siren tone sound j coverage for that portion of the EPZ within Massachusetts.

4. As provided in the Design Report for Seabrcok Station at page 2-14, dual 41rens are employed s-on the VANS vehiches. As also provided therein, at page 2- ,

15, these sirens are capeble of functioning me either a siren or a public address device. The Design Report, at page 2-6, clearly states "the siren tone is used to provide the alert i

function at all siren locations" (copies of pages 2-6, 2-14 '

and 2-15 attached and marked "C").

5. Tile SPMC does not contemplate the use of sirens in f

the message mode. The use of only the miren tone to provide the alert function for VANS is consistent with the coGcept of operations described in the 3PMC in Section 3.2.5 [cepy attached and marked "D) . SPMC Section 3.2.5 also deccribts 3

when .und under what citeumstances the siren alerting bone will be used. e d

6. In order to eliminate potential confusion regarding the theoretically potential use of the siren's public address i mode, St ction 3.6.1.E of the SPMC was revised in Amendment 6, deleting any reference to this mode of operation.

7. Under the SPMC, and as stated in the (EMA-REP. 10 1 Design Report at pp. 1-2 and 2-6, the means far obtaining

[

t information and instructional messages is via the universally accepted use of EBS radiv broadcasts. (See Also NUREG-0654, Rev 1, Appendix 3, Concept of Operations at 3-2) Thus the

public address capability of the sirens is not being used to satisfy any regelatory requirement.

l l

Basie A 5: Time to Implement VANS

) 8. Nsw Hampshire Yankee has conducted d series of tests i to ensure that the VANS vehicles can acccmplish their alerting function within the 15 minute design objective cited i

in 10 C.F.R. 50 App. E(D3). The 15 Winute interval is 1

compossd of deployment time and siren activation time, j 9. As described above in paragraphs 4-7 the siren ,

voice or public address mode is net useu under the sFMc to  ;

i provids an initial alerting eignal to the public or to L

provide information or instructional messages tc the public >

(i.e., this is done by EBS). Thorefore no time is newded smr .

required by regulation to provide a massage over the siran

loud speakst system with the 15-minute design objective cited 4

i in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E. As such the duration for siren i activation to provide the alert signal (i.e., siren tone) is 3 minutes.

1

10. If the siren activation signal is transmitted prior to the siren being set up, the signal will be stored and then l the siren will automatically begin to sound once it is cat f up. When the siren activates, the alerting signal has a i

^

duration of 3 minutes. I

\

11. Deplo Jmant time is *.he combination of the time required to alert the driver (driver alert), dispatch the VANS vehicles (dispatch time), travel the route (transit i

time), and raise the siren at the acoustic location (setup I

4 L - -- . . - _ _ _ _ - - - - - _ - - _ . , . _ , - . . , - - . . . _ - - .

l time). Twelve minutes is available to accomplish thesc four steps.

12. The VANS vehicles are kept at several tiaging areas. No more than threa VANS vehicles are stationed at any one staging area. The drivers work in shift rotation so that the stsging areas will be manned at all times when Seabrook is licensed for full power operation.

13. As v.iscussed in more detail in the Affidavit of Travis N. Beard, tests were conducted for dispatch and setup times. As provided therein at piragraphs 7 and 8, the tests demonstrated the design objective of dispatching the VANS in less than 40 seconds and setting up the VANS on average in less than a mir.ute.

14. A testing program has also been implemented to determine the travel times between staging areas and acoustic locations. Under this tes?.ing program transit time data has been collected for the Spring and Summer of 1988.

15. For acoustic locations 1-15, the transit time objective is 10 minutes (i.e., 15 minutes lesa 3 minutes for siren activation and 2 minutec for alert, dispatch and setup). The transit time objective for acoustic location 16, as discussed in paragraphs 25 through 29 below, is 15 minutes.

16. In each of these transit test programs, approximately 50 runs per data collection period were mad 6 on each route between a staging area and an acoustic location.

i

l P

The runs were made in a truck similar in size and weight to the VANS vehicle.  :

17. The transit studies were each conducted over a  !

period of ssveral weeks and the runs themselves were run i

throughout the day and night. This resulted in a wide range of traffic, weather, and road conditions upon which to evaluate the transit times.

18. The rer,ults of these studies are summarized in the following two tables.

l 1

19. For acoustic locations VL-02 through VL-15, 1201 transit runs were made. During these runs various road '

conditions were encountered including rain, darkness, and l heavy traffic. Only 2 runs exceeded the 10-minute objective j and in both cases anomalous road conditions existed. Thus for acoustic locations VL-02 through VL-15 transit times can ,

be accomplished within the 10-minute objective. These l

results have been corroborated by the Massachusetts Attorney '

i General time study donc on Saturday, July 30, 1988 (copy l l attached and marked "E").

I

20. The route from the staging area to acoustic l location VL-01, a distance of 4.7 miles, was run 98 times. l During these runs various road conditions were encountered j including rain, darkness, and heavy traffic. The 10-minute l l

j transit objective was exceeded six times. The conditions 4

that existed on these runs were: ,

, 1 runt dump truck on road 10:05 ,

(working on sewer line  ;

installation)  ;

1 run: fireworks at Hampton Beach 10:51 l 4 runs: summer weekends 10:10, 11:00, 14:08, 17:07 i i

j 21. The first two delays listed may be considered J

! anomalous conditions. The four summer runs showed a ,

L consistency that New Hanpshire Yankee has responded to by l providing a satellite staging area closer to acoustic ,

location VL-01.

t i

22. A satellite staging area at is within 0.6 miles of acoustic location VL-01 and will be manned on summer weekends. This station will be manned continuously from early evening Friday until late evening Sunday between May 15 and September 15. The satellite staging area vill also be manned on Memcrial Day, July 4th and Labor Day.

23. Due to the short transit distance between the Satellite Staging Area and acoustic location VL-01, the transit time will be less than 10 minutes even during the summer weekend traffic conditions. This is especially true since the route to be taken will not encounter vehicles associated with beach traffic.

Tr. 2s Driver Alert 10 seconds Dispatch Time Less than 40 secondo Transit Time Less than ten minutes (for Acoustic Locations VL-01 to VL-15)

Setup Time Less than one minute Total Deployment Time Less than twelve minutes Siren Activation Time Three Minutes Total Time Less than fifteen minutes

24. The effects of winter adverse weather were evaluated by Mr. Lieberman. His results showed that winter adverse weather which occurred about 5% of the time could delay a few of the VANS by 1.5 minutes or less. This delay is 10% or less of the 15 minute design objective. Given the low probability of this nominal delay, the design objective of 15 minutes has been achieved.

25. The transit time from the staging area to acoustic location VL-16, a distance of 6.7 miles, requires more than the 10 minutes. During the transit studies 98 runs to acoustic location VL-16 were made. 'the average transit times for the Spring and Summer studies were 12:15 and 11:42, respectively. This tesult has been corroborated by the Massachusetts Attorney General time study done on July 30, 1988 (copy attached and marked "E"). No run exceeded 15 minutes.

26. The area covered by the siren at acoustic location VL-16 is at a distance of ten to eleven miles from Seabrook at the edge of the EPZ in the direction. The population in this area reaches a maximum of 401 on summer weekdays which is less than 0.2 percent of the total EPZ popula ~cion , located within an area of approximately 3 square miles. Egg Itttachment F.

27. Based upon the transit studies, the transit time of the iANS to acoustic location VL-16 can be accomplished within 15 minutes (16:20 during 5% of time when wintur adverse road conditions exist).

28. The Seabrook Station FEMA-REP-10 Design Report at

p. 2-5, 2-6 commits to having siren activation at acoustic

location 16 completed within 20 minutes, (copy attached and marked VL-G)and has been presented to FEMA for evaluation on this basis.

Basis A.9: Siron Voice Mode Intelligibility

29. The siren voice or public address mode is not used under the 9PMC to provide an initial alerting signal to the public, or to provide information or instructional messages to the public, as described above in paragraphs 4-7. Thus, the public address capability of the sirens is not being used to satisfy any regulatory requirement.

Basis A.10: Use of Siren Tone and Message Modes

30. Since the public address mode is not used for alert and notification of the public, it would be inconsistent for the SPMC or the FEMA-REP-10 Design Report to identify any circumstance when the message mode will be used.

l

31. SPMC Section 3.2.5 cets forth when and under what l circumstances the sirens in the tone mode will be used.

i Basis A.11: Adequate Staffing to Insure Availability and Reliability of VANS

32. In my deposition taken by the Attorney General on July 28, 1988, at pages 148 through 152 (copy attached and marked "H"), I indicated that New Hampshire Yankee would I

staff the staging areas with the requisite number of drivers l

on a 24-hour basis.

1

33. As demonstrated to the Mans AG during discovery, during training, by numerous tests and through inspectionr by NRC Region 1 the prototype VANS vehicles has worked reliably

with one operator. In addition, as described in the Affidavit of Travis N. Beati, this was also demonstrated during recent dispatch and setup timing tests. The prototype VANS vehicles is comparable in all relevant aspects to the 1 VANS vehicle to be used. Finally, all VANS drivers and supervisors receive extensive VANS training and periodic re-training to ensure that the VANS system can reliably accomplish the alerting function within the 15-minute guidance cited in FEMA-rep-10.

34. New Hampshire Yankee will staff each VANS shift x

with 20 drivers and 1 supervisor. This complement provides one full-time supervisor for administrative duties and assignments and four supplemental drivers to carry out administrative duties, re-training, periodic surveillance, f'

and, if necessary, to cover absences due to sickness or

]

. vacations.

I j 35. The 20 drivers will be assigned by the supervisor to ensure that one driver per VANS vehicle is always at each i

staging area. One driver at each staging area is assigned as a "working foreman" to coordinate activities at the staging area and to report to the shift supervisor.

l 36. New Hampshire Yankee will have five shifts, each with 20 drivers and one supervisor, to ensure continuous 24-j hour per day coverage seven days per week.

i

37. The design features of the VANS provide that, once deployed, the VANS vehicles function as a fixed siren system.

i

38. In addition to the 16 primary VANS vehicles continually staffed as described above, New Hampshire Yankee will have 6 additional, VANS vehicles as part of the VANS fleet. For planning purposes two of these vehicles are assumed to be unavailable because of periodic routine maintenance and surveillance, as VANS vehicles are rotated back to Seabrook Station from the staging areas for maintenance and then rotated back out into the field. The remaining four VANS vehicles will be kept in a constant readiness state at Seabrook Station. These vehicles provide backup capability in the event that a primary VANS vehicle fails.

39. New Hampshire Yankee maintains continuous 24-hour staffing on-site. Four backup drivers will be assigned to 7

sach shift. They will perform their normal shift functions  !

until activated to perform their functions as backup VANS drivers. It should be understood that these VANS drivers are ,

in addition to the normal VANS shift complement of 20 drivers. These VANS drivers will receive the same training and periodic re-training as the primary VANS drivers. If required, these shift personnel may also augment the primary VANS drivers to ensure 24-hour reliable system availability.

Basis B.1: Helicopter Availability During Poor Weather

40. The VANS systems is designed to be an effective and rapid means of notifying the Massachusetts portion of the EP2 i

i under all anticipated weather conditions (except the worst blizzards).

i- 41. The back-up VANS are available immediately in case a primary VANS becomes debilitated. These back-up VANS are available under all anticipated weather conditions (except the worst blizzards).

42. As a back-up to the back-up VANS, a helicopter is available to be used at the discretion of the NHY ORO Director as necessary, weather permitting, in accordance with Procedure 2.13 of the SPMC. The helicopter would perform whatever alerting mission the NHY ORO Director assigned to it.

Basis B.3: Airborne System Tone Duration and Coverage

43. The SPMC does not contemplate the use of the helicopter siren system as a primary or back-up public alerting system. Therefore this system is not used to satisfy any regulatory criteria or guidance concerning tone duration or coverage. The helicopter siren system was constructed prior to the development of the VANS and since it already exists it is referenced in the SPMC procedures for information only and to be used only as a second back-up to VANS.

Basis B.43 Airborne Alert Voice-Mode Intelligibility

44. The SPMC does not contemplate the use of the voice or message mode for the Airborne Alert system. To eliminate any confusion regarding use of the Airborne Alert's public l

l r

address mode as an alerting function, IP 2.15 will be revised in the next Amendment of the SPMC to delete any references to ;

i this mode of operation which were erroneously passed over in the revisions made in Amendment 6.

Dasmarais Attachr.ent C, 1 of 3 54 to acoustic location vt-165. The 3-=inute stren activation for this location will be completed within 20 minutes. Since VANS vehicles are deployed at the AttRT emergency classification level, this delayed activ-ation will anly occur in an extremely fast-breaking energency situation and is well within the &$-sinute time period provided f er in CM AN-1.

Pubite information and inotructional messages will be broadcast over the Emergency Broadcast Systes (ES$) oy designated connercial radto stations (see Chapter 1, section E.5). A public education program will be maintained to advise people in the EPZ that when the sirens are heard, they should tune to the designated consercial radio stations for information about an emergency.

The electronic sirens have both tone and public-address capability. The stren tone is used to provide the alert function at all stren locations.

Along the public beaches in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, sirer: have the capability to provide both alerting tones and public-address sessages.

A helicopter equipped with loud speakers, capable of tone and voice is also available to supplement the Massachusetts backup VANS.

To supplement stren systes coverage, tone-alert radio receivers will be offered to institutions within the EPZ. The tone-alert radio receivers in each state will be activated by and receive broadcasts f roe the desig-nated EIS station in that state.

The United States Coast Guard has agreed to provide public electing f or the waterways and the ocean portion of the EPZ. The Department of Interior has agreed to alert people in the Parker River National Vildlife Refuge.

2-6

k Dosmarcis Attachmont C, 2 of 3 The entire WS-4000 siren design is sedular. The power amplifiers, tone generator, radio receiver and decoder, silent test module, trickle-charger, and batteries, as well as the individual loudspeaker drivers, I are housed in easily replaceable modules to facilitate field maintenance of the stren.

To ensure full 360' coverage by the stren, the speaker assembly is

(

oscillated 'esek and forth through an angle of about 360'. The horn f

i rotates 360' in one direction, stops, rotates back to the same position, stops, and then rotates in the other direction. This cycle is repeated f 2-4 t ime s pe r mi nu t e.

f i

To enhance intelligibility of a voice sessage when the sirens are used t

in the public-address mode, the horns are held stationary while the ,

nessage is broadcast. The horns are then rotated 45', h4d stationary j again, and the sessage is re-broadcast. I The control systes f or the W5-4000 is discussed in Section t.6.2.1.b. I l

3. Dual Whelen Model WS-4000 tiectronic $1ren Systen The Dual Whelen WS-4000 sirens, which basically consist of two WS-4000 sirens sounted side-by-side, are emptsyed on the Vehicular Alert and Notification Systes (VANS) vehicles. The VANS coeprise a fleet of com- i mercia11y available trucks, each with a telescoping crane capable of .

i raising the centerline of the Dual Whelen WS-4000 stren to a height  !

l of 45 feet. Figures A-3 and A-4 are pictures of a VANS vehicle, one picture with the stren systes stowed for travel and one picture with l

the stren systes raised. The truck is a heavy-duty vehicle with high ground clearance and dual rear wheels equipped with snow tires. The VANS are maintainad at staging areas that are continuously manned.  ;

I 2-14

Dosmarcis Attech:nont C, 3 of 3 The Dual Whelen W5-4000 stren is capable of functioning either as a stren or as a public address device. In the public-addres s mde, voice messages received over radio are amplified and broadcast over the siren speakers. In the stren mode, the output of a tone-generator is

amplified and broadcast over the stren speakers. A s teady tone of $50 He is used as the alerting sound for the Dual VS-4000 in the event of an eso rgency a t the Seabrook St ation.

The Dual WS-4000 is among the most powerf ul electronic stren systess

, comme rcially available. Tield tests conducted by Vyle 1.aboratories j have shown that the 550 He tone generated by the Dual VS-4000 when operated in phase produces a sound level of 134 dlc at 550 Ma at a distance of 100 feet from the stren (see Vyle Research Test Report a 88-4 contained in Appendix 8).

1 The Dual VS-4000 stren is composed of a double-projector loudspeaker

! assembly (See yigure A-5) and electrical cabinets housing the power amplifiers, tone generator, radio rec.1ving unit, decoder and control circuitry, silent test module. and power supply. The speaker section of the Dual WS-4000 stren consists of two vertically arranged arrays of eight individual loudspeaker radial horne/ drivers acoustically coupled to each of the two large projectors. The projectors, radial horns /

drivers and a meter-driven rotator are suspended on tt.e telescoping crane.

The loudspeaker radial horns / drivers are f ed by 16 power amplifiers, each of which feeds one driver. Input to the power amplifiers comes either f rom the tone-generator or the radio receiver, depending on 1

j vhich mode of stren operatten is being used. The reduadancy of ampli-j fiers and drivets enhances siren reliability.

Dasmartis Attachmsnt G, 1 of 2 t

On an annual basis, New Hampshire Yankee will field inspect each of the nin described areas to verify that they have remained uninhabited.

A total of 110 electronic siren locations are used in the EPZ to perform the primary public alerting function. Of these, 94 sirens are permanently sounted in the New Hampshire portion of the EPZ. For Massachusetts, VANS vehicles are deployed to sixteen acoustic locations f rom six continuously-4 manned staging areas. One of these sixteen locations is a special case as discussed below.

Four VANS vehicles will be assigned for VANS backup and vehicle maintenance and will be located near Seabrook Station. Upon notification from the NHY Of f site Response EOC Contact of a f ailed VANS, a backup VANS will be deployed to the failed acoustic location.

Fixed sirens in the State of New Hampshire will be activateu from the Rockingham County Dispatch Center in Brentwood, NH. VANS for Massachusetts are dispatched and activated f rom the NRY Of f site Response EOC in Newington.

VH by the NHY ORO.

There is a geographical area at the southwest edge of the hassachusetts portion of the EPZ, outside the 10-sile radius, that is not subjected to 60 I

d5C coverage by the primary fif teen VANS scoustic locations within 15 minutes.

This geographical area is approximately a rectangle bounded on the North-east by the 10-mile radius, the Southwest by the EP4 bounda ry, the North-west by the Merrimack River, and the Southeast by the Western edge of Little Crane rond.

In accordance with the "Interpretations" section of FEMA Guidance Meso-randus AN-l[6), the populated portions of this geographical area will be provided acoustic cove rage by 1 VANS vehicle dispatched f rom s taging area

Dasmaraic Attachmsnt G, 2 of 2 l S4 to acoustic location VL-165. The 3-minute siren activation for this location will be complaced within 20 minutes. Since VANS vehicles are deployed at the ALERT emergency classification level, this delayed activ-atton will only occur in an extremely f ast-breaking energency situation and is well within the 45-sinute time period provided tot in CM AN-1. ,

Public information and instructional messages will be broadcast over the Emergency Broadcast Systes (EBS) by designated coen-relal radio stations (see Chapter t, Section E.5). A public education program will be maintained to advise people in the EPZ that when the sirens are heard, they should tune to the designated commercial radio stations for information about an emergency.

The electronic sirens have both tone and public-address capability. The stren tone is used to provide the alert function at all siren locatioas.

Along the public beaches in New Hanpshire and Massachusetts, sirens have the capability to provide both alerting tones and public-address messages.

A helicopter equipped with loud speakers, capable of tone and voice, is also available to supplement the Massachusetts backup VANF.

to supplement st ren sys tem cove rage, cone-ale rt radio receivers will be offered to institutions within the EPZ. Thu tene-alert radio receivers in each state will be activated .y and receive broadcasts f rom tie desig-nated E55 station in that state.

The United States Coast Guard has agreed to provide public alerting for the waterways and the ocean portion of the EPZ. The Department of Interior has agreed to alert people in the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.
