CHECK 0 1.0 Limits for EMERGENCY doses.

0 1.1 An EMERGENCY DOSE AUTHORIZATION (see EMERGENCY EXPOSURE EXTENSIONS) may be granted in order to protect facilities, and or equipment to substantially limit the escape of radioactive effluents or control fires. The maximum planned doses are:

1.1.1 Whole body (TEDE)(1) dose shall not exceed 10 Rem.

1.1.2 Dose to any organ (CDE)(2 ), including the skin and extremity (SDE)(3),

shall not exceed 100 Rem.

1.1.3 Dose to the lens of the eye shall not exceed 30 Rem (LDE)(4).

O 1.2 An EMERGENCY dose authorization may be granted for life-saving actions or protection of large populations. The maximum doses are:

1.2.1 Planned whole body (TEDE)(1) doses shall not exceed 25 Rem.

1.2.2 Planned dose to any organ (CDE)(2 ), including skin and extremity doses, shall not exceed 250 Rem.

1.2.3 Dose to the lens of the eye shall not exceed 75 Rem (LDE)(4).

1.3 RARE situations may occur in which a dose GREATER THAN those specified in SECTION 1.2 above for emergency dose would be unavoidable to carry out a lifesaving operation or to avoid extensive exposure of large populations. It is not possible to prejudge the risk that one should be allowed to take to save lives of others, therefore no upper limit has been established.

(1) The sum of the Effective Dose Equivalent resulting from the exposure to extemal sources and the committed effective Dose Equivalent incurred from all significant inhalation pathways during the early phase.

(2) The Committed Dose Equivalent to the thyroid from radioiodine.

(3) Shallow Dose Equivalent.

(4) Lens Dose Equivalent.

CHECK 0 2.0 For any EMERGENCY EXPOSURE OR ACCIDENTAL OVEREXPOSURE, the assessment actions in step 2 of the EMERGENCY EXPOSURE EXTENSIONS must be performed.

3.0 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS 0 3.1 Potassium Iodide 3.1.1 For emergency workers entering areas where a committed dose equivalent, (CDE)(2), to the thyroid from radioiodine could be 25 Rem or greater, the Consulting Radiological Physician should provide input concerning the administration and cessation of KI intake. (See Emergency Telephone Directory for telephone number.)

3.1.2 For thyroid exposures that are strongly expected to exceed 25 Rem, (CDE)(2), KI doses of 130 mg (100 mg - iodine) per day'should be administered.

Unless the EMERGENCY DIRECTOR or RECOVERY MANAGER instructs personnel to do otherwise, the KI tablets should generally be taken as soon as possible after thyroid exposure exceeding 25 Rem (CDE)(2) is projected.

NOTE: Stable Iodine (KI) is most effective when administered immediately prior to exposure to radioiodine. Significant blockage of the thyroid dose can be provided by administration within one or two hours after uptake of radioiodine.

(1) The sum of the Effective Dose Equivalent resulting from the exposure to external sources and the committed effective Dose Equivalent incurred from all significant inhalation pathways during the early phase.

(2) The Committed Dose Equivalent to the thyroid from radioiodine.

(3) Shallow Dose Equivalent.

(4) Lens Dose Equivalent.

TAB 6 EP-PS-244-6 PP&L EMERGENCY PERSONNEL DOSE ASSESSMENT AND PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATION (PAR) GUIDE (continued)

CHECK 0 3.1.3 Onsite issuance of KI for iodine prophylaxis requires the approval of the EMERGENCY DIRECTOR. Issuance to EOF and FIELD EMERGENCY MONITORING/SAMPLING TEAM personnel requires the approval of the RECOVERY MANAGER when the EOF has relieved the TSC of emergency management activities. The EMERGENCY DIRECTOR will approve issuance prior to that time.

These approvals must be documented on the POTASSIUM IODIDE (KI) TRACKING FORM.

3.1.4 For an injured and/or contaminated worker sent to a hospital for treatment, the patient will be under the care of the attending physician.

As such, plant procedures no longer apply and KI issuance will be at the discretion of the attending physician. The physician can rely on a senior Health Physics Technician Level II or Health Physics Management to provide the in-plant radiological data on which to base their decision.

0 3.2 Protective measures should be implemented for EOF personnel at the direction of the DOSE ASSESSMENT SUPERVISOR.

0 3.3. Exposures to members of local offsite support groups, (ambulance workers, fire fighters) shall not exceed 500 mrem (TEDE)(1) for the performance of support duties on the site of the Susquehanna SES.

4.0 EMERGENCY EXPOSURE NOTIFICATIONS AND A HEALTH CONSEQUENCE INVESTIGATION must be conducted for any emergency exposure as outlined in step 6 of the Emergency Exposure Extensions.

(1) The sum of the Effective Dose Equivalent resulting from the exposure to external sources and the committed effective Dose Equivalent incurred from all significant inhalation pathways during the early phase.

(2) The Committed Dose Equivalent to the thyroid from radioiodine.

(3) Shallow Dose Equivalent.

(4) Lens Dose Equivalent.

REPORT. The sector designation for this dose projection is based on the maximum calculated dose determined from all sixteen sectors for the given projection time.

10. CALCULATED/REVIEWED BY The sign-off for review of calculation results is done for documentation purposes. The intended review does not necessarily mean an independent verification of each input to the calculation but more an interactive discussion between the RPC/HP Level II Dose Calculator and/or DASU/DAST (or dose calculator) to ensure the calculated results are reasonable based on current plant and environmental information.

This review should occur before the calculated results are used for any emergency classification determinations or protective action recommendations.

11. COMMENTS Section added to provide space for additional statements of qualification or background information pertaining to the dose projections.
