AFFIDAVIT OF DIANE P. DREIKORN IN SUPPORT OF LILCO'S

[ MOTION FOR SUMM ARY DISPOSITION OF TIIE HOSPITAL EVACU ATION ISSUE l

Diane P. Dreikorn, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1. I am employed by LILCO as Senior Emergency Planner, and have been in-volved in emergency planning for Shoreham since September 1985. My professional qualifications are bound into the record following transcript page 17,421, as part of LILCO Exhibit 1 in the reception centers remand proceeding. I have personal knowl-edge of the f acts recited below, because I have been involven in the preparation and re-1 View of portions of Revision 9 to the Plan dealing with hospital evacuation and recep-tion hospitals.

1

2. LILCO will soon file with the NRC and all parties copies of Revision 9 to the LILCO Plan, which will include a few more details concerning the implementation of hospital evacuation than were in previous revisions. Revision 9 will also contain evacuation time estimates for the hospitals and a list of the procedural steps and as-sumptions used in calculating them.

3. The existing LILCO Plan already states the total bed capacity for each hos-pital in OPIP 3.6.5, Att. 2. Revision 9 adds a breakdown of that number for each hospi-talinto the estimated numbers of potential ambulatory patients, wheelchair-bound pa-tients, and patients that would be moved on stretchers. These numbers were obtained in telephone discussions between hospital officials and a member of the LERIO staf f.

8712290227 87.1218 PDR C ADOCK 05000322 PDR

I The numbers are as follows: Central Suffolk Hospital-40 ambulatory,57 wheelchair,45 stretcher; St. Charles Hospital-62 ambulatory,149 wheelchair, 47 stretcher; John T.

Mather Hospital-60 ambulatory,118 wheelchair,60 stretcher.

l

4. Revision 9 of the Plan also translates the patient occupancy estimates into i vehicle requirements, using the same vehicle capacity assumptions that were used in calculating the existing evacuation time estimates for special facilities and the Suffolk Infirmary. Those assumptions have already been litigated and approved by the Board; they were contained in LILCO's Testimony on Contentions 72.A and E, If. Tr. 9101, at 6 and Att.1, and are discussed in the PID at pages 830-31 and 835-38. The vehicle capac-ity assumptions are as follows: 2 stretchers per ambulance, 7 wheelchairs per ambulette (average), and 40 ambulatory patients per bus. The resulting vehicle require-ment estimates are as follows: Central Suffolk Hospital-1 bus, 23 ambulances,12 ambulettes; St. Charles Hospital-2 buses, 24 ambulances, 22 ambulettes; John T.

Mather Hospital--2 buses,30 ambulances,17 ambulettes.

5. Revision 9 does not contain any major substantive changes in the proce-dures that would be used to implement a hospital evacuation. Revision 9 does add a few additional details concerning LERO's initiation and coordination of an evacuation. For example:

a. When contacting reception hospitals, the Hospital Coordinator will verify that each is or is not capable of monitoring incoming evacuees for radiological contam-ination. OPIP 3.G.5 5 5.5.1 (Rev. 9). If the hospital staff is capable of monitoring evacuees, the Hospital Coordinator will ask them to do so. If the hospital staff does not have sufficient monitoring capabilities and requests monitoring assistance from LERO, the Hospital Coordinator will have a LERO monitor (s) sent to that hospital. OPIP 3.6.5 5 5.5.5 (Rev. 9).

b. Under Rev. 9 the Hospital Coordinator, not the Health Facilities Coordinator, assigns evacuating patients to reception hospitals, starting with those reception hos-pitals closest to the EPZ. OPIP 3.6.5 5 5.5.5 (Rev. 9).

c. Revision 9 adds hospital evacuation time estimates to the factors to be considered in deciding whether to recommend evacuation for the hospitals under OPIP 3.6.1.

d. Under Rev. 9, the Ambulance Coordinator will direct each ambulance or ambulette driver evacuating a hos-pital to contact him at the EOC upon arrival at the re-l ception hospital. The Ambulance Coordinator will tell the driver to return to the evacuating hospital for l more patients, without stopping off at the Brentwood EWDF, if more patients remain to be evacuated. OPIP 3.6.5 S 5.6.6(c) (Rev. 9).

6. Aside from the hospital evacuation time estimates, which are being added to Appendix A of the LILCO Plan, and the hospital occupancy figures added to OPIP 3.6.5 Att. 2, the details specified above are the only substantive additions or changes that Rev. 9 makes to the hospital evacuation procedures in the LILCO Plan.

7. The list of reception hospitals in OPIP 3.6.5 Att. 5 has been modified slightly so that it now includes only those hospitals at least 5 miles beyond the edge of the 10-mile EPZ that can treat contaminated individuals, as indicated by their JCAH (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals) accreditation in nuclear medicine and/or radiology.

8. LILCO will continue its efforts to contact and obtain written agreements with reception hospitals.
