EXPOSURE CONTROL FOR EMERGENCY WORKERS Procedure 42 1.0 Purpose 1.1 This procedure provides guidance concerning the allowable exposure limits, radiological controls, issuing dosimetry/KI supplies and performing equipment and operational checks for emergency workers responding to a radiological event.

2.0 Discussion 2.1 The Emergency Management Director has authority to approve exposures in excess of the limits specified in this procedure. If possible, this should be done after consultation with the Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC) or the Radiological Director at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS).

2.2 The Environmental Health Director is responsible for the implementation of this procedure and for monitoring the status of personnel exposures to County emergency workers.

2.3 All exposures to emergency workers should be kept As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).

2.4 Emergency worker kits should be issued to emergency workers as follows:

2.4.1 Emergency workers entering the plume exposure pathway will be provided 0-200 mR direct reading dosimeter, a 0-20R direct reading dosimeter, a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD), potassium iodide, (KI),

instructions and Attachment 4, "Emergency Worker Radiation Exposure Record" Form.

2.4.2 Emergency workers assigned to perform monitoring and decontamination will be assigned a 0-200 mR Direct Reading Dosimeter (DRD), a 0-5R Direct Reading Dosimeter (DRD), thermoluninescent dosimeter (TLD),

instructions and Attachment 4, "Emergency Worker Radiation Exposure Record" Form.

2.5 Emergency workers should be moved to safe areas if a radiological plume is released. When emergency workers are in the affected area, they should remain out of the contaminated area and should minimize their exposure.

2.6 Dosimetry for emergency workers will be provided by STPEGS and/or the State of Texas and will be kept at the Emergency Operations Center and the Environmental Health Department.

2.7 STPEGS is responsible for the official reading of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) provided to the county.

2.8 Committed Dose refers to an internal dose. The intake may be received at one time, but the dose is spread out over the person's lifetime. Therefore, 50 years are used to commit this dose to the person. (Time)

EXPOSURE CONTROL FOR EMERGENCY WORKERS Procedure 42 2.9 Committed Dose Equivalent Thyroid (CDE-Thyroid) If projected CDE Thyroid is 25R or greater, then recommend administering stable iodine.

2.10 Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE) refers to internal dose. Without respiratory protection, it is 4 times the direct reading dosimeter (DRD) value if a worker is in an area where airborne contamination is possible.

2.11 Deep Dose Equivalent (DDE) is the same thing as whole body dose. It is equal to the value as read on the DRD.

2.12 Effective Dose refers to the weighting factors which compare the risk to an organ compared to the risk of the whole body.

2.13 Emergency workers are individuals who perform functions to protect the health and safety of the public in response to the declared emergency, or are individuals approved to reenter an area where access control has been established. Emergency workers could include:

Category 1 Emergency Worker refers to workers who will be working in a potentially high exposure rate area (greater than O.1R per hour), such as:

a. Transportation services (evacuation vehicle/bus drivers)
b. Law Enforcement
c. Fire fighting and rescue personnel, including ambulance crews
d. Route alerting personnel
e. Traffic control personnel
f. Critical industrial facility personnel
g. Utility essential personnel (electric, gas, water, telephone, etc.)
h. And others as deemed necessary Category 2 Emergency Worker refers to workers outside the ten mile EPZ, who will be working in a low exposure rate area (less than 0.1R per hour), such as:
a. Monitoring/Decontamination personnel.
b. Any others as deemed necessary R

a. EOC Staff
b. Joint Information Center Staff
c. Registration Staff at the Reception Center
d. And others as deemed appropriate 2.14 Dose Equivalent is used to denote (or transform) all dose into the same terms, i.e.,

Rem. (Biological effects) 2.15 Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) is the equivalent of the whole body (external) and internal dose added together. That is DDE + CEDE = TEDE or 5 times the DRD value if the worker is not wearing respiratory protection and is in an area where airborne contamination is possible.

2.16 Turn-back Values are total accumulated external exposure limits or exposure rates, established by the offsite health authority, at which the emergency worker should move back from the current area and contact the Environmental Health Director in the EOC to make arrangements to be replaced as soon as possible.

EXPOSURE CONTROL FOR EMERGENCY WORKERS Procedure 42 EXPOSURE LIMITS Attachment 1 (Page 1 of 2)

The following information is provided as guidance for limiting personnel exposures during a radiological accident. This information is intended to be consistent with the guidelines issued by the Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC), Texas Department of Health.

General Persons exposed to radiation during an accident are subject to several limitations for their whole body and thyroid dose. A higher maximum exposure is permitted for life saving operations than is allowed for the performance of other response duties. Daily and cumulative exposure summaries will be used by the Environmental Health Director to evaluate exposure trends and will provide the basis for removal or reassignment of persons receiving unusually high exposures when compared to other team members.

Exposure Limits To be consistent with the exposure limits developed by the Bureau of Radiation Control, the following limits will be used. These limits can be waived for individuals by the Emergency Management Director.

0 200 mrem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) per shift 0 1 rem (1000 mrem) TEDE or 5 rem Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) thyroid exposure in one day a 5 rem (5000 mrem) TEDE or 25 rem Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) thyroid during the entire event Emergency Exposure Limits Some situations may occur in which life saving activities or other urgent and critical tasks may be necessary and could result in higher exposures than those identified in the administrative limits. In these situations, the individual is responsible for making an on the-spot decision to apply the higher exposure limit. This should only be done in extreme cases.

Potassium Iodide (KI)

Potassium Iodide (KI) is a drug that can be used effectively to block the uptake of radioiodine by the thyroid gland.

Supplies of KI tablets are maintained by the County at the Emergency Operations Center for use by emergency workers who may be exposed to radioactive iodine during the performance of their duties.

KI does not provide protection from external exposure of radiation and is only effective for the uptake of ingested and/or inhaled radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland.

KI is effective when given before or immediately after an exposure. The effectiveness of KI drops off quickly and is of limited value when taken more than four hours after the exposure. An evaluation of the need to administer KI should be made in coordination with the Bureau of Radiation Control and/or the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS)

Radiological Director, if possible.

KI should only be taken by Category 1 workers upon direction of the Emergency Management Director.

Additional information concerning exposure limits is provided in the State of Texas Radiological Emergency Management Procedures, in particular, Procedure 7, "Personnel Dosimetry and Exposure Records," Procedure 9, "Radioprotective Drugs" and Procedure 10, "Monitoring and Sampling Airborne Gamma Releases,"Section VIII.F. Advice and information concerning decisions relating to radiological exposures should be obtained from the Bureau of Radiation Control or the STPEGS representative in the EOC.

EXPOSURE CONTROL FOR EMERGENCY WORKERS Procedure 42 USE OF POTASSIUM IODIDE Attachment 7 (Page 1 of 2)

THYRO-BLOCK Tablets (Potassium Iodide Tablets, USP)

Take potassium iodide only when directed by the Emergency Management Director. In a radiation emergency, radioactive iodine may be released into the air. Potassium iodide (a form of iodine) can help protect you.

If you are told to take this medicine, take it once every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Do not take it more often. More often will not help you and may increase the risk of side effects. Do not take this drug if you know you are allergic to iodide. (See side effects below.)

DIRECTIONS FOR USE Use only when directed by state or local authorities in the event of a radiological emergency.

One (1) tablet once a day. Take for 10 days unless directed otherwise.

Store at controlled room temperature between 150 and 30'C (590 to 86°F). Keep container tightly closed and protect from light.

WARNING Potassium iodide should not be used by people allergic to iodide. Keep out of the reach of children.

In case of overdose or allergic reaction, contact a physician or the public health authority.

DESCRIPTION Each THYRO-BLOCK TABLET contains 130 mg of potassium iodide. Other ingredients:

magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, silica gel, sodium thiosulfate.

HOW POTASSIUM IODIDE WORKS Certain forms of iodine help your thyroid gland work right. Most people get the iodine they need from foods, like iodized salt or fish. The thyroid can "store" or hold only a certain amount of iodine.

In a radiation emergency, radioactive iodine may be released in the air. This material may be breathed, or swallowed. It may enter the thyroid gland and damage it. The damage would probably not show itself for years. Children are most likely to have thyroid damage.

If you take potassium iodide, it will fill up your thyroid gland. This reduces the chance that harmful radioactive iodine will enter the thyroid gland.

EXPOSURE CONTROL FOR EMERGENCY WORKERS Procedure 42 USE OF POTASSIUM IODIDE Attachment 7 (Page 2 of 2)

WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE POTASSIUM IODIDE The only people who should not take potassium iodide are people who know they are allergic to iodide. You may take potassium iodide even if you are taking medicines for a thyroid problem (for example, a thyroid hormone or antithyroid drug). Pregnant, nursing women, babies, and children may also take this drug.

HOW AND WHEN TO TAKE POTASSIUM IODIDE Potassium Iodide should be taken as soon as possible after direction is received from the EOC. You should take one dose every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. More will not help you because the thyroid can "hold" only limited amounts of iodine. Larger doses will increase the risk of side effects. You will probably be told not to take the drug for more than 10 days.

SIDE EFFECTS Usually, side effects of potassium iodide happen when people take higher doses for a long time.

You should be careful not to take more than the recommended dose or take it for longer than you are told. Side effects are unlikely because of the low dose and the short time you will be taking the drug.

Possible side effects include skin rashes, swelling of the salivary glands, and "iodism" (metallic taste, burning mouth and throat, sore teeth and gums, symptoms of a head cold, and sometimes stomach upset and diarrhea). A few people have an allergic reaction with more serious symptoms.

These could be fever and joint pains, or swelling of parts of the face and body and at times severe shortness of breath requiring immediate medical attention. Taking iodide may rarely cause over activity of the thyroid gland, under activity of the thyroid gland, or enlargement of the thyroid gland (goiter).

WHAT TO DO IF SIDE EFFECTS OCCUR If the side effects are severe or if you have an allergic reaction, stop taking potassium iodide and contact the EOC immediately for instructions.

HOW SUPPLIED THYRO-BLOCK TABLETS (Potassium Iodide Tablets, USP) bottles of 14 tablets (NDC 0037-0472-20). Each white, round, scored tablet contains 130 mg potassium iodide.

NOTE If you have trouble finding the line on a dosimeter:

  • Apply more pressure on the dosimeter; or
  • Clean the charging contacts on the dosimeter and the dosimeter charger with a pencil eraser or soft cloth; or
  • Replace the battery in the dosimeter charger (see Section I of this attachment).
3. Set the line on the dosimeter to zero by turning the voltage control knob on the dosimeter charger.
4. Remove the dosimeter from the charging contact. Point the dosimeter towards a light source and look through the dosimeter to read it. Determine the position of the hairline on the scale.

NOTE When reading the dosimeter, keep it as level as possible and ensure that the scale is parallel with the horizon.

5. Continue to Step 7 if the dosimeter reading is zero.
6. Repeat the procedure (Steps 1 thru 4 above) if the reading is not zero. While charging the dosimeter, set the line an equivalent amount away from zero in the opposite direction to compensate for movement when the dosimeter is removed from the charging contact.

NOTE If time is critical, a reading of as close to zero as possible (but must be above zero) is an acceptable charge on a direct-reading dosimeter.

7. If time permits, remove any residual static charge from the charging pin end by briefly touching a pencil lead (or small metal item such as a paper clip) across the tip of the charging pin to the dosimeters' outside case. Reread the dosimeter (expect a slight increase in the reading).

8. If a dosimeter is not to be issued immediately, allow it to sit for about 15 minutes, then read it again. If the reading has increased, the dosimeter has excessive drift and should not be used.

Operation of the Hand Held (tri2ger) Dosimeter Charger BASIC OPERATION The hand held (trigger) dosimeter charger (Fig. 1) is used to zero all Direct Reading Dosimetry (DRD) dosimeters. The charger is self powered, requiring no batteries. The voltage necessary to charge a dosimeter is generated by squeezing the generator lever. A discharge button allows the operator to set a dosimeter exactly on zero. The clamp trigger pulls back on the clamp to allow a dosimeter to be positioned on the charger or be removed from the charger.

The charger controls the movement of Lens L.am Charging Contact the hairline fiber inside the dosimeter.

When the fiber is on zero, the dosimeter is said to be "zeroed".

Clamp POSITIONING THE DOSIMETER C amp Trigger IN THE CHARGER

1. Hold the charger upright as *,N Dis charge Button shown in Fig. 1. Lift the clamp and pull it back to its maximum *-Generator Lover length. Place the dosimeter in the clamp and fit the dosimeter recess (opposite end from the Figure 1 lens) over the charging contact.

This allows for electrical contact between the dosimeter and the charger.

2. Squeeze the clamp trigger. Push the clamp forward until the end is against the eyepiece of the dosimeter.
3. Release the trillger. Check the position of the dosimeter which should provide a good view through the lens. Refer to Fig. 2.

EXPOSURE CONTROL FOR EMERGENCY WORKERS Procedure 42 RADIOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS Attachment 9 (Page 6 of 12)

CHARGING THE DOSIMETER

4. With the dosimeter locked in place and lens facing you, point towards a suitable light source, such as, a light fixture, window, candle, etc. as shown in Fig. 2.
5. Look through the lens and observe the scale (Fig. 3). Squeeze the generator lever and release lightly a few times. NOTE: if the dosimeter is not responding, you may need to apply more pressure with the clamp by gently pushing forward on the clamp against the end of the dosimeter. DO NOT PUSH TOO HARD as the dosimeter may be damaged.

Watch for movement of the fiber from the right of the scale towards 0. Squeeze the lever again if needed to zero the dosimeter. NOTE: If the fiber has traveled to the left of the zero but is still visible, push the discharge button and watch the fiber move to the right. If the fiber is not visible, repeat Step 5.

6. To remove the dosimeter, pull clamp trigger, lift dosimeter to just above the end of clamp and pull dosimeter straight back to disengage it from the charging contact. The length of the clamp will not change unless the clamp is manually adjusted.

3. Used with window open, held at waist level. Allow 15 seconds for stabilization before taking reading.
4. WARNING: If an actual dose rate exceeds the highest dose rate the instrument is capable of reading, then the meter may falsely indicate zero, that is, in an extremely high dose rate area, the instrument may fail down scale and read zero.
5. Reading is obtained by reading the scale and multiplying the scale value by the multiplier setting.
6. Dose is determined by multiplying dose rate per hour times the number of hours in the area. For example: 200 mR/hr for 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> = 400 mR (dose).

1. Visually check the instrument for signs of physical damage.
2. Slide the battery box button to the rear, open the lid, and install two "D" size batteries. Caution: do not twist the lid button - it slides to the rear.
3. Turn the instrument range switch to Xl. Depress the BAT switch. The meter should deflect to the battery check position of the meter scale. If the meter does not respond, recheck to be certain that the batteries have proper polarity. If the meter continues to fail, change out the batteries.
4. Open the probe shield and expose the detector to a radiation check source. A positive response on the meter face should be noted. The speaker should click with the audio switch in the ON position.

NOTE If the instrument fails the operations check, label the instrument as out of service and obtain backup meter(s).

5. Press the RES switch. The meter should zero.
6. Check for a valid calibration sticker and proceed to use the instrument.

NOTE An external detector probe, similar to the CDV-700's, is available for ranges X0.1 through X100 ranges; an internal detector is used for the X1000 range.

Regular programming should be suspended and the message broadcast to the public as soon as the message is received by the EAS station. The current EAS message should be broadcast at least every 15 minutes until a new message is received.

2.2 The Prompt Notification System (PNS) is usually only activated when an EAS message is issued. The Prompt Notification System in the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone for Matagorda County includes sirens and alert radios. Also available as a backup is the auto dialer, Community Alert Network (CAN), and route alerting.

2.3 EAS messages may be prescripted statements and are issued by the Emergency Management Director in conjunction with the Public Information Officer, Public Information Writer and/or the STPNOC Emergency Operations Center Liaison during emergencies at STPEGS. Except for the EAS message in the Sheriffs Office Dispatcher procedure for fast-breaking emergencies, all other EAS messages should be prepared according to the guidelines found in this procedure.

2.4 A News Advisory gives further information regarding the situation or provides information that is not directly related to protective actions for the public, or may direct the public to stand by for further information. The Prompt Notification System need not be activated when a news advisory is issued.

2.5 Recovery occurs when an accident at a fixed nuclear facility site is stabilized, the release is terminated, and other required conditions are met.

Matagorda County Officials recommend the following sheltering actions:

Go inside. Tightly close doors, windows, and fireplace dampers. Turn off any heating or cooling system that draws in outside air, such as window fans. Systems that recirculate inside air may be left on. Pets should be brought inside the house. Outdoor activities should be conducted only if absolutely necessary. Most homes and buildings provide some protection from the type of radiation being released into the atmosphere at the plant.

Stay indoors and listen to KMKS 102.5 FM, KIOX 96.9 FM, or KXGJ 101.7 FM for further information. You will be informed if evacuation in your area becomes advisable or when the emergency is over.

If you must go outside, take extra precautions. Wear outer garments such as long sleeved shirts and full leg pants, boots, hat, and gloves, (raincoat or overcoat during cool weather), and cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth or dust mask. This will provide some protection against the possible inhalation of contaminated particles. Upon reentry to your home, these garments should be removed and cleaned. Shower or wash the parts of your body that were not covered.

Foods which were indoors at the time of the accident should be eatable, but do not eat any other home or locally grown fruits or vegetables until you are advised that it is safe to do so. To avoid possible contamination keep all food supplies covered or in closed containers, and, where practical, wash fresh fruits and vegetables before use.

Store water in bottles or other closed containers as a precaution against possible restrictions of water use.

Do not use the telephone unless it is absolutely necessary.

Procedure 72 GUIDELINES FOR PERSONNEL ENTERING RECEPTION CENTER Attachment 6 (Page 1 of 1)

You are at an evacuee Reception Center. Our goal is to provide for your shelter and needs as long as the evacuation remains in effect, and to determine if you are contaminated with radioactive particles.

As you enter the Reception Center, you will stand in a metal archway for about 10 seconds. This is a portal monitor which will check you for radioactive contamination. An operator will instruct you when to exit.

If you are not contaminated, you will be given a white card and directed to the American Red Cross, where you will be registered and provided shelter if needed.

If you are contaminated, you will be given a pink card and directed to the shower area for decontamination. At the shower area, trained staff will answer your questions, and assist you with decontamination procedures.

After decontamination, you will be given a white card and directed to the American Red Cross where personal information will be taken. You will receive further instructions there, including transportation requirements if your vehicle is contaminated.
