APPLICANTS' MOTION FOR
SUMMARY
DISPOSITION OF SEACOST ANTI-POLLUTION LEAGUE CONTENTION NO. 25 Now come the Applicants pursuant to 10 CFR 2.749 and on the basis of the facts set forth in the " Affidavit of Richard H. Strome (SAPL-25)" and for the reasons set forth below, move the Board to issue an order granting summary disposition in favor of the Applicants with respect to Seacoast Anti-Pollution League (SAPL) Contention No. 25.
REASONS FOR GRANTING THE MOTION SAPL Contention No. 25 reads as follows: j i
"The New Hampshire State and Local Rules j and Emergency Response Plans do not j reasonably assure that the public health i and safety will adequately be protected j l

I because the provisions for protecting j those persons whose mobility may be j impaired due to such factors.as i institutional or other confinement are patently lacking, therefore the plans do ;
not meet the requirements of 10 CFR '
6 10.47(a)(1), S 50.47(b)(8) and NUREG j II-J.10.d." l This contention also raises the issue of "special needs" i i
persons. The Strome Affidvit makes clear that adequate i
provisions have been made for reception of the mobility impaired in Exeter Hospital, Strome Aff. 2-6;. Seacoast i
Health Center, id. 7; Eventide Home and Goodwin's of l Exeter, Ijd. 8. Letters of Agreement (LOA's) are in place ;
1 with ambulance companies as well as with the Red Cross. Id. ]
11 9-10. Manpower and transportation requests have been !
met. Id. 11-14. No basis exists for saying that NHRERP Rev. 2 does not adequately plan for the mobility impaired.

STATEMENT OF MATERIAL' FACTS NOT-IN DISPUTE j i
- 1. Revision 2 of the'New. Hampshire Radiological
, i Emergency Response Plan.(NHRERP), Volume 26A (Exeter Special ;
.f Facilities. Plans) contains in Attachment A to the Exeter i Hospital RERP, letters of agreement with all three of its i
designated host: facilities; i.e., Concord Hospital,-Catholic ( l Medical Center and.Hampstead Hospital. Each' host-facility
-1 indicates that it would provide. temporary shelter.as a receiving site for Exeter Hospital in-the event evacuation j is required.
- 2. The categories of patients cited in SAPL Contention No. 25 are " transportation" grouping categories only. The
{
level of care categories contained in all letters of i i
agreement are " medical care" grouping categories which are.
1 standard in the medical industry. Hampstead Hospital is not- l an acute care hospital; so by definition, it can only' accept Class I patients.

~
manpower.for assisting mobility. impaired persons in an evacuation. For the former, manp'ower at the state or loca11 level'is not an issue; ide:ntification . of these people isj done by means of a mailed survey conducted by'NHCDA.. For the latter, the plans make provisions for emergency medical support personnel to provide this assistance. .Approximately 200 such individuals have been identified within the EPZ-communities through the Bureau of Emergency Medical Services- .
of the New Hampshire Division of Public Health Services. In addition, NHCDA has written agreements'with ambulance services beyond the EPZ communities which indicate that.
approximately 130 emergency medical personnel are available to accompany ambulances and to provide assistance for' mobility impaired persons. As an added resource, the N.H. !
National Guard can make available approximately 75 medically qualified personnel. The NHCDA Special Needs Survey was utilized during development of the NHRERP, Revision 2 to assess the need for assistance. The survey revealed 44 persons outside of institutions who are bed-ridden and may require assistance. Special facility plans.for hospitals '
and nursing homes provide for staffing forL this purpose.
