I PROCEDURE 5.7.11 REVISION 13 PAGE 5 OF 16
ATTACHMENT 1 EVACUATION CRITERIA S1. The decision to evacuate personnel shall be made by the Emergency Director.
Personnel shall not evacuate an assembly area unless instructed to do so by the Designated Assembly Area Supervisor or through a Gaitronics (PA) announcement from the Control Room or EOF. The Designated Assembly Area Supervisor shall normally receive instructions from the Logistics Coordinator.
1.1 In keeping with as low as reasonably achievable philosophy, personnel who are not involved with emergency response actions should be evacuated if: such action can prevent significant radiation dose, and provided that trained personnel are available to conduct the evacuation, and can be spared for this task without jeopardizing emergency mitigation activities.
1.2 The decision to evacuate should include the following considerations:
1.2.1 Whether or not the emergency can be mitigated prior to individuals receiving a dose of 500 mrem (5 mSv) or 200 DAC/hrs.
1.2.2 If personnel involved are not needed for handling the emergency, they should be evacuated at levels near the low end of each range to minimize their doses.
1.2.3 Any time personnel are to be evacuated, the dose expected during evacuation must be weighed against that expected if the person is not evacuated. In some cases, evacuation may result in a higher dose than could be received if the individuals remained in a shielded or protected area.
1.3 Evacuation criteria guidelines:

ATTACHMENT 1 EVACUATION CRITERIA 1.4 The decision to keep personnel for emergency assistance should include the following dose criteria:
1.4.1 These persons should not be allowed to exceed their occupational annual dose limits (5 rem (50 mSv) Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) or 15 rem (500 mSv) thyroid per year).
1.4.2 Since many of these persons will have received some occupational dose prior to the accident, the maximum dose which can be permitted may vary depending on the yearly dose received and the dose history from one person to another.
1.5 If potential or actual radiological conditions indicate the need for evacuation of personnel (or a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency has been declared), then the Emergency Director will initiate evacuation as per Section 4.
1.6 Evacuation of personnel shall be conducted after a SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY Declaration.

(REPEAT)
I PROCEDURE 5.7.11 1 REVISION 13 1 PAGE 9 OF 16
ATTACHMENT 3 EVACUATION ROUTE DETERMINATION There are two basic evacuation routes which may be utilized when an evacuation is required. The route to be followed shall be determined by the Emergency Director, with input from the Radiological Control Manager, on the basis of wind direction, dose rates, and other pertinent factors existing at the time.
1.1 DESCRIPTION
OF ROUTES 1.1.1 NORTHERN ROUTE THROUGH BROWNVILLE 1.1.1.1 The preferred route if evacuation from the site is required is out the access road to the County road, north on the county road to Brownville, then west on U.S. Highway 136 to Auburn. The Evacuation Assembly Point is located at the Nemaha County Multiplex Building (AEOF), - 6 blocks north of the stop light.

I I ATTACHMENT 3 EVACUATION ROUTE DETERMINATION 1.1.2 SOUTHERN ROUTE THROUGH NEMAHA AND HOWE 1.1.2.1 If conditions make the use of the northern evacuation route undesirable, an alternate route to the south is available. The route is south on the county road to Nemaha, then south on State Highway 67 to the Howe turnoff (first road south of the Nemaha bridge), west to U.S. Highway 75, then north to the Nemaha County Multiplex Building (AEOF).

ATTACHMENT 7 INFORMATION SHEET DISCUSSION 1.1 In the event of an emergency at CNS, it may be desirable to minimize the number of personnel on-site. If the emergency involves a radiological release or the potential for a release, then evacuation of personnel is desirable, or may be required, to minimize exposure and/or contamination.
1.2 Personnel will assemble at their Designated Assembly Areas following sounding of the emergency alarm per Procedure 5.7.10, Personnel Assembly and Accountability. The completion of Procedure 5.7.10 will result in the Security Coordinator having a list of any missing persons.
1.3 After Assembly and Accountability has been completed and any unaccounted individuals located per Procedure 5.7.10, dismissal or evacuation of personnel may be initiated at the discretion of the Emergency Director.
1.4 Personnel shall follow all instructions with regard to dismissal or evacuation as provided by members of the ERO Staff per orders of the Emergency Director.
1.5 Personnel shall obey all directions provided by Station Security and obey all traffic laws.
1.6 This procedure provides guidance in four areas:
1.6.1 Determination of the need for the dismissal of personnel.
1.6.2 Determination of the need for site evacuation.
1.6.3 Determination of the evacuation route and assembly area.
1.6.4 Conducting the evacuation and subsequent assembly, monitoring, and release of personnel in an orderly manner.
I PROCEDURE 5.7.11 1 REVISION 13 1 PAGE 15 OF 16 1
ATTACHMENT 7 INFORMATION SHEET 1.7 DISMISSAL 1.7.1 If potential or actual radiological conditions do not indicate the need for evacuation but the Emergency Director deems it appropriate to reduce the number of personnel on-site, personnel will be dismissed to return to their homes. The Logistics Coordinator to will normally coordinate this dismissal when instructed by the Emergency Director.
1.7.1.1 The Logistics Coordinator will contact the Designated Assembly Area Supervisors or provide a site-wide announcement with instructions regarding dismissal of personnel.
