TAB 6 EP-PS-1 01-6 CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCY CONDITIONS USE OF EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION MATRIX NOTE: CONFIRM THAT INDICATORS AND/OR ALARMS REFLECT ACTUAL CONDITIONS PRIOR TO TAKING ACTION BASED ON THE INDICATOR OR ALARM.
The matrix is worded in a manner that assumes parameter values indicated are the actual conditions present in the plant.
The matrix is designed to make it possible to precisely classify an abnormal occurrence into the proper emergency classification based on detailed Emergency Action Level (EAL) descriptions. It is impossible to anticipate every abnormal occurrence.
Therefore, before classifying any abnormal occurrence based on the EALs in the matrix, one should verify that the general conditions prevalent in-plant and offsite meet the general class description of the emergency classification. In addition, prior to classification, one should be aware of the ramifications in-plant and particularly offsite of that classification. Special consideration of offsite consequences should be made prior to declaring a GENERAL EMERGENCY.
EP-AD-000-200, Revision 16, Page 2 of 39
TAB 6 EP-PS-101-6 POLICY STATEMENT ON EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS Policy When an emergency action level (EAL) is exceeded but the plant quickly returns below the EAL, the emergency should be declared. If appropriate, the emergency can also be downgraded or terminated at essentially the same time and the Emergency Notification Form can say the emergency was declared and terminated (or downgraded) minutes later.
Example The main steam lines isolate on high radiation due to a large oil intrusion into the vessel. The isolation on high radiation is a trigger to declare an Alert. If it can quickly be determined that the cause was not damage to the fuel and we should not be in an Alert, then the Alert should be declared and terminated with the same notification report.
Basis Declaring the emergency will notify interested offsite personnel and will demonstrate that we recognize that we exceeded an EAL. Immediately terminating or downgrading will avoid activation of company and offsite facilities that are not required for this event.

TAB 6 EP-PS-101-6 CLASS DESCRIPTIONS UNUSUAL EVENT Events that are occurring or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
ALERT Events that are occurring or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
SITE AREA EMERGENCY Events that are occurring or have occurred which involve actual or imminent major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except inside the emergency planning boundary.
GENERAL EMERGENCY - Events that are occurring or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Expectation is that releases will exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the emergency planning boundary.

El 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).
0 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)(') 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 external sources and the committed effective Dose Equivalent incurred from all significant inhalation pathways during the early phase.

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)c2), 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.

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

1.3.1 Evaluate need for additional whole body dosimeters.
NOTE: For emergency exposures above 4 rem, the placement of several dosimeters on an individual is recommended to determine spatial distribution of dose to the individual.
1.3.2 Evaluate need and placement of extremity dosimeters.
1.3.3 Evaluate need for additional dosimetry devices such as high range self-reading dosimeters, electronic dosimeters, and neutron dosimeters.
1.3.4 Evaluate need for time keeping.
El 1.4 Determine proper respirator equipment required to perform task.
NOTE: For tasks expected to last more than several hours, consider need for relief of team members.
0 1.5 Review the following ALARA items:
NOTE: The detail and scope of ALARA reviews are to be commensurate with the magnitude of doses expected, numbers of people involved, and urgency of required task.
1.5.1 Consider the trend of exposures vs. the importance of the task:
- a. Important and critical task with rising exposure rates will require the dispatch of teams as quickly as possible to reduce exposures.
- b. Unimportant or less critical task could be delayed until- exposure rates begin to trend downward.

CHECK 0 1.5.2 When time permits the following should be included in the ALARA review:
- a. Consider the use of remote handling devices or other special tools.
- b. Consider the use of portable shielding.
- c. Consider the need for mock-ups or other practice exercises.
- d. Assess the number of people required to assure all have essential productive roles.
- e. Consider the magnitude of doses received by team members in transit to work location.
