TAB 4 EP-PS-243-4 PUBLIC PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATION GUIDE AIRBORNE RELEASES 0 PA-1 MONITOR CONDITIONS FOR PAR APPLICATION The following conditions should be continuously evaluated to determine if a PAR should be implemented or changed:
"* Plant status and prognosis for changes in conditions
"* Onsite radiological conditions
"* Status of actual or potential radioactive releases
"* Offsite dose projections or actual offsite radiological conditions
"* Escalation in Emergency Classification (i.e., General)
(Go to PA-2)
PA-2 HAS A GENERAL EMERGENCY BEEN DECLARED?
o YES - If a GENERAL EMERGENCY has been declared, a PAR must be made within 15 minutes of the emergency declaration. The PAR requirement is found in NUREG-0654. (Go to PA-3) o NO - If a GENERAL EMERGENCY has not been declared, continue to monitor plant status, parameter trends, and prognosis for termination or escalation of the event. (Go to PA-1)
PA-3 IS THERE A VALID DOSE PROJECTION INDICATING DOSES OF >_ 1 REM TEDE OR >
5 REM CDE CHILD THYROID AT A DISTANCE OF
> 2 MILES?
0 YES - If the projected doses at 2 miles are > 1 REM TEDE or Ž5 REM CDE child thyroid, then full evacuation (0-10 miles) is recommended.

E PL-2 CHEMISTRY/ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING DIRECTOR (ESD) TAKES AND ANALYZES SAMPLE (Go to PL-3)
PL-3 IS RELEASE > TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS LIMITS (AT THE RELEASE POINT)?
El YES - Releases are at or greater than Technical Requirements limits when Chemistry determines that the limits are exceeded based on methodologies described in the ODCM and applicable Chemistry procedures.
El NO - If the release is < Technical Requirements limits, then no notifications are required and monitoring should continue.
(Go to PL-4)
El PL-4 RAD PERSONNEL NOTIFY DANVILLE AND BRP THAT A RELEASE HAS OCCURRED Depending on which facility is activated, the notification to Danville and BRP will be made by the RPC (TSC) or the Radiological Liaison (EOF).

PL-5 CHEMiFTD EVALUATES RELEASE VERSUS PAGs The results of the sample analysis are compared to the PAGs for radionuclides in drinking water. The analysis calculates the expected concentration at Danville, taking into account the dilution afforded by the river.
PL-6 DOES RELEASE EXCEED PAGs (AT DANVILLE)?
El YES - If a single isotope exceeds the PAG or the sum of the fractions exceeds 1.0, then a protective action recommendation should be made for Danville to DIVERT its DRINKING WATER supply to a backup supply until the release has passed.
(Go to PL-7)
El NO - If the PAGs are not exceeded, monitoring should continue and the State should be notified that no PAR for the liquid release is required. (Go to PL-8)
El PL-7 RAD PERSONNEL NOTIFY DEP/BRP OF PAR Depending on which facility is activated, the PAR notification to DEP/BRP will be made by the RPC (TSC) or the Radiological Liaison (EOF). The PAR FORM shall be used to document the PAR.
DO NOT COMMUNICATE THE PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATION TO DANVILLE. THE DEP/BRP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COMMUNICATION.
El PL-8 RAD PERSONNEL NOTIFY DEP/BRP No PAR is required. Depending on which facility is activated, the RPC (TSC) or the Radiological Liaison (EOF) shall notify DEP/BRP that no PAR is required.

I NAME
TAB 9 EP-PS-243-9 6OMMENTARY ON FILLING OUT THE PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATION FORM
- 1.
Emergency Classification, Basis - The intent is to list each EAL that led to the current Classification.
- 2.
Emergency Actions, Bases - The intent is to describe the bases for the Actions implemented, especially if they are not a mandatory result of the EAL and Classification described above. For the EOF, completion of this line is optional.
Example wording for a local area evacuation may be "local hi rad and hi temp alarms in HPCI pump room." Example wording for administration of KI may be "dose projections > 25 rem to team crimping release path piping."
- 3.
Plant Status as Basis for PAR - The intent is to briefly describe key elements of plant status and/or prognosis that entered into the decision making for the PAR that was adopted. Examples to consider may include: operating status (shut down, ATWS, etc.), indications of fuel (or cladding) degradation, ability to cool the core, integrity of primary and secondary containment, status of ventilation treatment (filtration, etc.) and status of remedial or mitigating actions.
An example completed statement for EAL 3.4 may be: High reactor coolant activity and inability to terminate coolant leak outside primary containment within several hours.
- 4.
Radioactive Release as Basis for PAR - Examples of information to include may be the anticipated duration of the release, whether release rates are increasing or decreasing, and/or if there was a puff release. The vent(s) that is (are) the primary release point(s) may also be included if relevant to the discussion process. The intent is to document information used in the PAR decision making.
For field data, the "yes" block should be checked if the correlation between field data and projected data is reasonable (ratio of measured to projected data is between 0.1 and 5.0).
- 5.
Weather Conditions as Basis for PAR - Weather conditions that contributed to the PAR decision making should be described. Examples of information to include may be wind direction (or affected sector), wind speed, stability class, precipitation level, and/or ice/snow conditions. If a dose projection printout is to be attached, there is no need to write on information that is on that form.
- 6.
Dose Proiections as Basis for PAR - The intent is to indicate whether projected doses are less than or greater than values used in the PAR decision making flowchart. Specific listing of calculated TEDE and/or child thyroid CDE values is discouraged. An example supplemental comment may be "controlling dose is child thyroid CDE from releases of radioiodines."

- 7.
Approval of Form Contents - The "Facility Lead" (ED or RM) is to approve if changes in Classification or PAR have occurred since the form was last transmitted. If no change has occurred, the "dose assessment lead" (RPC or DASU) normally would approve the form, although the Facility Lead always has the authority to sign the form.
