'1he origins of this 04 ard its development and approval have been sorlewhat different frcxn other Gi's. his 04 was developed as a result of a series of legal decisions involvirg NRC which determined that the existing interpretation of the required pre-accident medical arrangements for contaminated injured individuals as not sufficient. Those decisions led NRC to issue a policy statement (Attachment B) on September 17, 1986, indicating that the NRC staff (in consultation with FIMA) would develop detailed gaidance on the necessary pre-accident arrangements fbr medical services by Nwenber 17, 1986.

We have worked closely with NRC in recent weeks in the preparation of this gaidance. Uhfortunately, the short deadline did not permit our usual procedure of obtaining kgional ard other canents befbre issuing this final guidance.

( g Federal Emergency Management Agency

- Washington, D.C. 20472 GUIDANCE MEMORANDUM MS-1 MEDICAL SERVICES Purpose This Guidance Memorandum (GM) provides interpretation and clarification of requirements contained in the Nuclear Regulatory Comission rule,10 CFR 50.47 (b)(12) and the associated guidance in NUREG-0654/FEFA-REP-1, Revision 1, re-lated to the provision of medical services for members of the general public.

Background

The background is contained in a policy statement from the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NkC) titled " Emergency Planning - Medical Services" (51 FR 32904).

Inthispolicystatement,NRCstatesitsbeliefthat10CFR50.47(b)TI2)

(" arrangements are made for medical services for contaminated injured individuals")requirespre-accidentarrangementsformedicalservices(beyond the maintenance of a list of treatment facilities) for individuals who might be severely exposed to dangerous levels of offsite radiation following an accident at a nuclear power plant. As used in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(12) and planning Standard "L" of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Revisien 1, the tem " contaminated injured" means i

!) contaminated and otherwise physically injured; 2) contaminated and exposed to dangerous levels of radiation; or 3) exposed to dangerous levels of radiation.

Guidance 10 CFR 50.47 (b)(12) requires that " Arrangements are made for contaminated injured individuals." In its policy statement the NRC detemined that this standard requires pre-accident arrangements for medical services for offsite individuals who might be esposed to dangerous levels of radiation following an ,

accident at a nuclear power plant. The following guidance applies to the eval- l

vation of the medical services aspects of State and local emergency plans under i the criteria in NUR[G-0654/TEPA-REP-1.

Standards. Evaluations Criteria. Areas of Reviews and Acceptance Criteria Assignment of Responsibility (Organization Control)

A.

Planning Standard l Primary responsibilities for emergency response by the nuclear facility

licensee, and by State and local organizations within the Emergency Planning 2cnes have been assigned, the emergency responsibilities of the various sup- '

porting organizations have been specifically established, and each principal response organfration has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis.

Attachment 1

. IN 86-98

, December 2, 1986 Page 3 of 12 A.3. Evaluation Criterion Each plan shall include written agreements referring to the concept of operations developed between Federal, State, and local agencies and other support organizations having an emergency response role within the Emergency Planning Zones. The agreements shall identify the emergency measures to be provided and the mutually acceptable criteria for their implementation, and specify the arrangements for exchange of inforr.ation. These agreements may be provided in an appendix to the plan or the plan itself may contain descriptions of these matters and a signature page in the plan may serve to verify the agreement s. The signature page fomat is appropriate for organizations where response functions are covered by laws, regulations or executive orders where separate written agreements are not necessary.

Areas for Review and Acceptance Criteria State or local governments should obtain written agreements with the listed nedical facilities (Planning Standard L. Evaluation Criteria 1 and 3) and trans-portation providers (Planning Standard L. Evaluation Criterion 4). The written agreements should contain simple assurances that the providers have adequate techrical information (e.g. treatment protocols) and treatment capabilities for handling " contaminated injured" individuals. An indication of Joint Comission on Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAH) accreditation will suffice for such assurance.

(Note: Veterans Administration (VA), military and other government hospitals are not usually accredited by JCAH but usually have the desired cepabilities.)

If state or local governments do not obtain written agreements, the licensee should obtain written agreements with the listed medical facilities and trans-portation providers. If good faith efforts are not successful in a particular case, the licensee shall provide or arrange for adequate compensatory measures, e.g., obtain written agreements with other providers or provide temporary field medical care.

L. Medical and Public Health Support Planning Standard Arrangements are made for medical services for contaminated injured individuals.

L.1. Evaluation Criterion Each organization shall arrange for local and backup hospital and medical services having the capability for evaluation of radiation exposure and uptake.

including assurance that persons providing these services are adequately prepared to handle contaminated individua s.

l

4 Attachment 1 IN 86-98 December 2, 1986 Page 4 of 12

/

t Areas for Review and Acceptance Criteria There should be one primary local hospital and one backup hospital for each site for the evaluation and emergency treatment of " contamination injured"

members of the general public. Hospitals are generally distributed proportional i to the population. Thus, at sites with low population and few hospitals, the

, primary local and backup hospitals for members of the general public could be the same as those for the utility employees and emergency workers, i

L.3. Evaluation Criterion l Each State shall develop lists indicating the location of public, private

! and military hospitals and other emergency medical services facilities within the State or contiguous States considered capable of providing medical support

,! for any contaminated injured individual. The listing shall include the name, location, type of facility and capacity and any special radiological capabili-ties. These emergency medical. services should be able to radiologically

monitor contaminated personnel, and have facilities and trained personnel able to care for contaminated injured persons.

! Areas for Review and Acceptance Criteria The lists should be annotated to indicate the ambulatory /non-ambulatory capaci-ties for providing medical support for " contaminated injured" members of the general public and any special radiological capabilities. This will enable state and local officials to direct members of the general public to those institutions capable of handling " contaminated injured" patients. In the event that local and regional medical resources need to be supplemented, additional medical re-sources would be available through the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan. These resources would include the Rediation Emergency Assistance Center /

Training Site at Oak Ridge, Tennessee and the National Disaster Medical System with headquarters in Rockville, Maryland.

L.4. Evaluation Criterion Each organization shall arrange for transporting victims of radiological acci-dents to medical support facilities.

Areas for Review and Acceptance Criteria Because the early symptoms of persons exposed to dangerous levels of radiation are usually limited to nausea and vomiting, ambulances may not be required to transport such persons to medical facilities. Rather, non-specialized public and private vehicles can be used, supported, if necessary, with agreements in accordance with A.3. above. For other types of contaminated injured individ-uals, specialized transportation resources (e.g., ambulances) would be necessary and should be assured by agreements, if necessary, in accordance with A.3 above.

Provisions should be made for the use of contamination control in transporting contaminated persons to medical facilities.

N.2. Evaluation Criterion A drill is a supervised instruction period aimed at testing, developing and maintaining skills in a particular operation. A drill is often a component of an exercise. A drill shall be supervised and evaluated by a qualiffed drill instructor. Each organization shall conduct drills, in addition to the biennial ammwaP exercise at the frequencies indicated below:

c. Medical emergency drills A medical emergency d-ill involving a simulated contaminated individual which contains provisions for participation by the local support services agencies (i.e., ambulance and offsite medical treatment facility) shall be conducted annually. The offsite portions of the medical drill may be perfonned as part of the required biennial somwal* exercise.

Areas for Review and Acceptance Criteria State or local governments should provide for the conduct of appropriate drills and exercises which include " contaminated injured" individuals. These medical emergency drills involving the primary local (L.I.) hospital for state and local governments should be conducted annually. These drills should also test the capability of relocation centers to direct " contaminated injured" members of the general public to the appropriate hospital. If State or local governments cannot provide for the conduct of the drills, the licensee shall provide for the con.

duct of such drills. If good faith efforts are not successful in a particular case, the licensee shall provide or arrange for adequate compensatory measures.

Implementation State and local emergency response plans should reflect the provisions of this GM at the next annual update following 9 months from the effective date of this GM.

Plans for plants that do not have a full power operating license should reflect the provisions of this GM within 9 months of the effective date of this GM. The first medical drill reflecting the provisions of this GM should be conducted by the end of the next biennial exercise following 1 year from the effective date of this GM.

  • Changes reflect language incorporated into GM PR-1.

3! JUDGE KELLEY: Thank you.

4i Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

t

5. This telephone conference, as you know, is 6 pursuant to the Board's order of December 29.

L 7i We are on the record.

8 We are missing Judge Hand. I spoke with him 9 about this a while back. He indicated he might not be 10 available. Apparently, he is not. But I think Judge 11 Johnson and I can go ahead with it.

12 Let me ask Mr. McQuang. We did attempt to reach 13 Ms. Gallagher, and I guess our last known address and phone 14 number, and the operator tells me that she was told that 15 Ms. Gallagher had moved from there sometime ago.

16 Have you been in touch with Ms. Gallagher 17 recently about this matter, Mr. McQuang?

18 MR. MC QUANG: No, I haven' t, your Honor. Ever l 19 , since the end of the trial she has basically turned the 20 matter over to me and she hasn't bsen involved in it.

21 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay. So can we look to you as 1 22 sole counsel for Gard?

^

23 MR. MC QUANG: Yes, sir.

24 JUDGE KELLEY: Is that fair and reasonable?

25 MR. MC QUANG: Yes, it is.

3 Mr. Pickett, is that okay with you?

4 MR. PICKETT: No problem.

5! JUDGE KELLEY: Okay. Mr. Chandler?

6 MR. CHANDLER: No problem, Mr. Chairman.

7 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay. So we will consider that so 8 amended, and Mr. McQuang will be representing Gard.

9 Okay. We are here pursuant to the Board's order 10 of the 29th, and also of course it is by way of following up 11 and responding to the Commission's remand order of last 12 September and also the FEMA guidance memo of November 13,

(

13 which I gather was served on everybody in the form of a 14 Board notification.

1%

15 Did you get that, Mr. McQuang?

16 MR. MC QUANG: Yes, sir.

17 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay, and Mr. Pickett I gather has l 18 , it also?

19 , MR. PICKETT: Yes, sir.

l 20 JUDGE KELLEY: Let me ask Mr. Pickett if the

(

c 21 j: Board correctly assumes that the Applicants want an 22 opportunity to demonstrate compliance with this new j 23 guidance? Is that a fair assumption?

24 , MR. PICKETT: Yes, that is.

I 1.

4290 01 03 5 1 OMTbur 1 MR. PICKETT: We are in the process of 2 implementing the guidelines now.

3. JUDGE KELLEY: Right.

t 4r MR. PICKETT: And --

5{ JUDGE KELLEY: Okay.

6f MR. PICKETT: -- we certainly anticipate 7i implementing them as quickly as we can, in a reasonably 8 short period of time.

9 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay. The Board indicated in an ,

10 oral order that if you applied the -- you might call it the f

11 generic implementation date in the Board notification and f 12 the FEMA guidance memo. That would stretch out to July '88, '

i I.

13 as we understand it, which struck us as a good bit longer  !

14 than necessary.

15 The main purpose of this call is to discuss an 16 earlier implementation date than that. The Board suggested l 17 a tentative implementation date of April 1. There is no  !

18 special magic in that date, just a date not too far down the 19 road. But we put that out for consideration.  ;

i 20 Let me just ask first Mr. Pickett what the i'

21 ; Applicants' reaction is to that deadline.

l .

22 l MR. PICKETT: If anything want right, the way we  !

23 are planning to implement it, we should be able to do it by

24 April 1. But inasmuch as a number of the activities involve l t

25 cooperation by third parties outside the scope of this

1 OMTbur 1. proceeding really, it is difficult to commit to that date.

2 JUDGE KELLEY: I understand.

3* MR. PICKETT: We have got to get some i

4 concurrences, I believe, from the Municipalities and some 5j arrangements from other sources.

t 6y We would be willing to try for April 1, but we 7 I would actually like another 90 days more or less as 8 insurance. We feel we could commit to a July 1 date, but 9 with an understanding that if we completed our 10 implementation earlier than that, that we would submit it 11 through whatever process we wind up with to start the 12 procedure earlier than July 1.

l 13 JUDGE KELLEY: So can I paraphrase and call that 14 a July 1 outside date with a best efforts date of whenever 15 you can make it?

~16 MR. PICKETT: That would be correct.

17 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay.

i 18 , Let me ask then the other parties to comment on the Board's proposal or Mr. Pickett's alternative proposal.

19 f .

20 Mr. McQuang.

21 MR. MC OUANG: Yes, sir. We believe that the 22 Applicants have been doing this and following this procedure l 23 all the way along, and obviously we would like to get the 24 submittal from them as soon as possible. I think the April 25 1 date is pretty reasonable unless I hear some specific

I 4290 01 05 7 i OMTbur 1 problems that they are running into with specific agencies 2 or something.

3 JUDGE KELLEY: So what would your -- is it your 4 proposal --

5f MR. MC QUANG: My recommendation would be to have 6 the April 1 date as some sort of submittal from them, at 7* 1 east a status report by that particular date, and then if 8 they need more time obviously all of us are willing to work 9 with them for more time.

10 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay, let me turn to 11 Mr. Chandler.

12 MR. CHANDLER: Mr. Chairman, as reflected in the

(

13 , guidance memorandum issued jointly by the Staff and FEMA, 14 the date or the scheduling presented in there sort of -

15 represents an outer bound for implementation of the 16 emergency medical service arrangements.

17 Certainly if the Applicant is able to advance 18 ;. that date, we would be most interested in encouraging that.

19 We would be satisfied certainly if July 1 is achievable. If 20 " that date can be bettered, obviously we would be encouraging 21 l that as well.

?

22 j But from our perspective July 1 would be 23 satisfactory.

, 24 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay. I understand you, 25 ' Mr. Chandler and Mr. Pickett, to be in essential agreement.

2 MR. CHANDLER: Staff is in agreement.with h

3i Mr. Pickett, that is correct.

4 3 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay, and just to repeat, 5 Mr. Quang, you are favoring an April 1 deadline, with the 1

6 idea that if they can't make it by April 1 they could give a 7 status report and then request some additional time.

8 Is that a fair paraphrase of your view of it?

9 MR. MC QUANG: Yes, sir, that is.

10 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay.

11 Now, what Ms. Johnson and I -- now this is -- as 12 I said, the main purpose of this call is to get the time

(

13 parameter, and Ms. Johnson and I perhaps ought to just 14 discuss this a bit after this call and then issue a short 15 order setting forth whatever we decide, which obviously will 16 be somewhere in the parameters of the two points that have 17 been made. But we will just have to spell that out.

18 Looking down the road just a little bit, and not 19 , by way of trying to really decide anything, but just to make 20 sure that we are thinking along the same lines, in terms of 21 the kind of a filing that you would be making, Mr. Pickett, 22 l oh, in terms of say the list of facilities, I assume that 23 it is your thoughts unless you had already filed were 24 adequate and need to just reference them or refile them, is 1

1 OMTbur 1 MR. PICKETT: That would be correct.

p 2' JUDGE KELLEY: And then if you are required to i

3! go through some sort of drill or exercise, would you go through the drill or the exercise and then file some sort of 4[

5[r written description of what you did; is that what we would 6 expect?

7 MR. PICKETT: Well, that raises a question.

8 JUDGE KELLEY: I am not saying that is exactly 9 what it ought to be. I am just trying to elicit some notion 10 of what we can expect.

11 MR. PICKETT: Well, what we would like to see 12 would be that when we have put together our implementation 13 that it would be submitted, and submitted to the NRC 14 Staff / FEMA, for their review as to whether or not it meets 15 the guidelines.

16 JUDGE KELLEY: Yes.

17 MR. PICKETT: And that after that kind of a l

18 review we would then be in a position to determine whether 19 or not there are any hearing issues left.

! 20 JUDGE KELLEY: Yes.

l l 21 MR. PICKETT: Now, we do not contemplate any 2 2 ;1 drills with respect to plan implementation. I assume that l

23 drills will be nececessary under the guidelines and the 24 regular emergency planning procedures after that, but for

the remand, we consider that the plan modifications should 2 be adequate.

3 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay. Again, I don't mean to

[

4i raise or decide any issue today, but just to get some 5 helpful notion of what the various parties may be thinking i

6' about.

i 7, Ultimately, you are going to put together an 8 implementation package of some kind, and that is going to 9 reflect --

10 MR. PICKETT: Correct.

11 JUDGE KELLEY: -- your understanding of what the 12 t guidance requires. It may reflect what you think FEHA

{

13 thinks you should do. And you will file it, and Mr. McQuang 14 for his client may or may not be satisfied with it. But we 15 would then decide in sort of a contention context whether it 16 was satisfactory or not. Is that fair?

17 MR. PICKETT: No, I think that is where we 18 , probably looked at it a little bit differently, 19 Mr. Chairman.

20 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay.

21 MR. PICKETT: We would look that after our 1

22 'l submittal of the package or after our putting the package 23 together --

3 JUDGE KELLEY: I didn't mean to disagree with 4 that.

5 MR. PICKETT: Okay.

i 6 JUDGE KELLEY: Fine.

e 7 Now, Mr. McQuang, isn' t it sensible? If there is 8 going to be a FEMA review of this implementation package, it 9 seems sensible that it go ahead and.go through that process 10 before it goes into the contention stage; wouldn't you 11 agree?

12 MR. MC QUANG: I think that would be helpful for 13 formulating contentions.

14 JUDGE KELLEY: Yes. Yes, right.

15 MR. MC QUANG: I don't want to do the work of 16 FEMA.

17 JUDGE KELLEY: Yes.

18 All right. So to restate, Mr. McQuang, at the 19 risk of being somewhat repetitious here, you will do what 20 you think you need to do; you will submit it to the Staff 21 ' and FEMA; the Staff and FEMA will review it and presumably react in some way to it; and then you would file it with the 22 )

i 23 Board.

24 Is that correct?

Mr. Chai rman. In fact, we had hoped to have with us this 6[ morning on the call some representative of FEMA, but we were f

7 ;,' not able to in the last minute get ahold of him.

8 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay.

9 MR. CHANDLER: But, yes, we would expect that 10 once the licensee has submitted its plan it will be subject 11 to FEMA review and that subsequently would be an appropriate 12 time for Mr. McQuang to identify any issues the Intervenors 13 might have on this point. It is, after all, an offsite 14 emergency plan.

7 MR. MC QUANG: That is right. I have no problem 8 with that.

9 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay. Well, perhaps we need not 10 anticipate beyond that. I think just getting this much in 11 the record is helpful.

12 I would be happy to entertain questions or 13 suggestions for other things we ought to take up now. Let 14 ' me just start with the Applicant.

15 Do you think you need anything else from your 16 perspective at this point?

17 MR. PICKETT
The only question that arises in my i

i 18 mind, Mr. Chairman, is in the order you are going to put out 19 with a date on it.

20 JUDGE KELLEY: Yes.

21 MR. PICKETT: Would that date refer to our i

i l 22 submittal to NRC/ FEMA for their review, or what date would 23 that be directed toward?

24 JUDGE KELLEY: I was thinking of a date for 25 submission to the Board and parties. We can discuss that l

5 when you are going to submit it to us.

6 MR. PICKETT: Okay. I guess then -- I think from 7 the way the conversation has gone we are probably talking 8 about the submittal to the Board and parties for issue --

9 JUDGE KELLEY: Right.

10 MR. . PICKETT: -- spotting, as it were --

11 JUDGE KELLEY: Right.

12 MR. PICKETT: -- being the sort of the second

13 round. We would have submitted it to NRC for their review 14 and NRC would have reviewed it, given us some kind of a 15 position on it --

and then we would submit it to 18 the Board and parties for potential hearing purposes.

4- MR. CHANDLER: I think it would be beneficial 5 from that standpoint, Mr. Chairman, and the parties would 6 then be aware of that document being reviewed by the Staff 7' and, most importantly, by FEMA.

11 MR. CHANDLER: Correct.

12 JUDGE KELLEY: But they would at least have it in 13 hand earlier in time, and so would the Board.

14 MR. CHANDLER: Yes.

5' A question, though, of Mr. Pickett: would it be 6' possible for Mr. Pickett to indicate whether that date then 7, would track with his July 1 date, or sooner if possible?

8 JUDGE KELLEY: Well, I am assuming --

9 MR. PICKETT: Yes, that is the date I was 10 thinking of.

11 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay. Yes, you were thinking, 12 from what you just said and what I assumed anyway, was that

(

13 when you say maybe by April but give us till July you meant 14 for simultaneous submission to the Board and parties and 15 FEMA?

16 MR. PICKETT: That is correct.

17 JUDGE KELLEY: Okay, I understand.

18 MR. PICKETT: Which means there would be a little-19 ; bit longer before NRC got back and before we are in a 20 position to define any issues that may be outstanding.

21 JUDGE KELLEY: Correct, okay.

22 Well, let's see, I guess I was asking you, 23 Mr. Pickett, if you had other things and we got this date 24 clarified.

25 Anything else, Mr. Pickett?
