1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this procedure is to identify the emergency actions and responsibilities of the Emergency Director to cause evacuation of Site One and the Exclusion Area when conditions so dictate.
This procedure also includes guidance for the Security Manager to direct sounding of the Crossroads and Site One sirens at Site Area Emergency to initiate tenant evacuations at Site One.
The procedure also identifies actions to be taken in the event the need for evacuation may impact other facilities in the local area, including the Department of Energy's Fast Flux Test Facility.
2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 The principle consideration when contemplating an Exclusion Area evacuation is the safety of personnel. An Exclusion Area evacuation is the orderly withdrawal of all personnel, except those required to respond to the emergency situation, from areas outside the Protected Area but within the Exclusion Area boundary, and including those portions of the Owner Controlled Area outside the Exclusion Area. An Exclusion Area evacuation will be announced using any combination of sirens, PA announcements, or telephone notifications 2.2 The Emergency Director is responsible for determining when an Exclusion Area evacuation should be conducted. The decision to evacuate personnel should be based on the course of action which presents the minimum risk to employees. Some examples of conditions which make an Exclusion Area evacuation not advisable include, but are not limited to:
- An ongoing security threat affecting personnel in the Exclusion Area (consult with the Security Manager to aid in determining the safest course of action)
- Inclement weather (e.g., high winds or hazardous road conditions may preclude a safe evacuation of personnel)
- Radiological hazards exist (determine which action would result in lowest dose to evacuating personnel)
- Other hazards exist which might subject evacuees to a higher risk to personnel safety than not evacuating If conditions for an Exclusion Area evacuation are present, but the decision is made to not evacuate personnel due to safety concerns, personnel will normally remain at their work locations unless directed otherwise.
2.3 Normally, Exclusion Area evacuations will be considered at a Site Area Emergency, or when other conditions warrant and is an automatic action at General Emergency.
Exclusion Area evacuees will normally be directed to proceed home.
PROCEDURE NUMBER REVISION PAGE 13.5.3 27 2 ofl10
If a radiological contamination problem is identified, evacuees will be directed to an alternate location for radiological monitoring and decontamination. The Energy Northwest Office Complex (ENOC) is the primary offsite assembly area.

If conditi6ns for an Exclusion Area evacuation are present, but the decision is made to retain personnel on site due to safety concerns, personnel will normally remain at their work locations unless directed otherwise.
NOTE: If the EOF Manager is acting as Emergency Director, coordinate the following steps with the Radiological Emergency Manager (REM):
4.1.4 If the decision is made to evacuate the Exclusion Area, determine if radiological hazards exist or are suspected within the Exclusion Area. If a radiological hazard does exist or a radiation release is in progress, then direct evacuees to report to the ENOC assembly area. Determine safe evacuation routes and hazardous areas to avoid.
4.1.5 If evacuation routes are unavailable due to hazards or severe weather, consider sheltering in place until conditions improve.
4.1.6 Use form 26051, Public Address Emergency Message Format - Exclusion Area Evacuation to complete a public address announcement.
NOTE: The EOF Manager, if acting as Emergency Director, must coordinate with the TSC Manager to have PA announcements made.
4.1.7 Immediately repeat the announcement. Continue repeating the announcement periodically while the evacuation remains in effect and until the TSC is activated. The TSC will assume responsibility for PA announcements when activated.
4.1.8 Direct the Security Manager (or on-shift Security Supervisor if Security Manager is not yet available) to implement actions for Site One or Exclusion Area evacuation.
4.2 Security Manager/On-shift Security Supervisor Responsibilities for Site One Evacuation - at Site Area Emergency 4.2.1 Confer with the Radiological Emergency Manager or Emergency Director in the REM's absence to determine the appropriate announcement in the following step.
