6.4.3 Fall out precipitation collectors may be exchanged and analyzed before the scheduled time in order to aid in evaluating the releases.

6.4.4 Refer to Attachment 1 for direction and distance of sample stations.

6.5 Water Sampling NOTE: NO RADIOACTIVITY IS NORMALLY FOUND IN WATER SAMPLES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NATURALLY OCCURRING K-40.

6.5.1 Water samples from Deer Creek and/or Lake Ontario should be taken as appropriate for the type and direction of release as deemed necessary by the Dose Assessment Manager.

EPIP 2-14:5 6.5.2 Refer to Attachment 1 for direction and distance of Water Sampling locations normally a 1 gallon sample is appropriate.

6.6 Milk Sampling NOTE: NO RADIOACTIVITY IS NORMALLY FOUND IN MILK SAMPLES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NATURALLY OCCURRING K-40.

6.6.1 Milk collection points are shown in Attachment 4 from which appropriate sample points should be selected and samples collected as deemed necessary by the Dose Assessment Manager.

6.6.2 Refer to Attachment 1 for direction and distance of Milk Sampling locations normally a 1 gallon sample is appropriate.

6.7 Snow Sampling NOTE: SNOW SAMPLES ARE DEPENDENT UPON SEVERAL WEATHER RELATED VARIABLES; A) RATE OF SNOWFALL AT, AND SINCE TIME OF RELEASE; B) AIR TEMPERATURES SINCE SNOWFALL OF INTEREST OCCURRED; C) WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION; D) SUNSHINE, RAIN OR OTHER WEATHER CONDITIONS OCCURRING AFTER SNOWFALL OF INTEREST.

6.7.1 Select the area to be sampled from the general location requested by the Dose Assessment Manager. Choose a location that has not been subjected to non meteorological disturbances (plowing, snowmobiles, pedestrians, etc.).

NOTE: SNOW FALLING OR SNOW ON GROUND AT TIME OF DEPOSITION MAY HAVE DRIFTED. MELTING AND FREEZING AND/OR RAIN MAY MEAN THE SNOW DEPOSITION IS FIXED IN AN ICE LAYER AND NOT AFFECTED BY WINDS. THESE POSSIBILITIES MUST BE CONSIDERED AND EXISTING WEATHER CONDITIONS USED TO DETERMINE AREA TO BE SAMPLED.

6.7.2 Take radiation reading with survey meter(s) three inches and three feet above surface of snow, record on the Environmental Data Sheet (Attachment 5).

6.7.3 Measure the selected area to be sampled in units of square feet.

NOTE: IF A CURRENT LAYER MAY HAVE FORMED ON AN EARLIER SNOWFALL, COLLECT SNOWFALL FROM SURFACE TO THIS CRUST. IF SNOW OF INTEREST MAY BE BELOW A CRUST LAYER FORMED LATER, SWEEP LOOSE SNOW AWAY TO THIS CRUST LAYER AND THEN SAMPLE THE CRUST LAYER AND LOOSE SNOW TO THE NEXT CRUST LAYER.

6.7.4 Sample up snow to a depth sufficient to collect snow of interest.

EPIP 2-14:6 6.7.5 Sample volume of melted snow should be equal to the amount necessary to fill a one gallon container. Loose snow volume is 4 times its liquid volume. Icy snow is approximately twice its liquid volume. The snow should be packed in the collection bag.

6.7.6 Measure the depth of snow in inches.

6.7.7 Securely close the sample bag to prevent leakage. It is recommended that all samples be double bagged to prevent leakage as snow melts.

6.7.8 Re-measure radiation levels at three inches and three feet. Record on the Environmental Data Sheet (Attachment 5).

6.7.9 Record the following data on the environmental Data Sheet (Attachment 5):

a. Location requested
b. Specific area selected
c. Area sampled in square feet
d. Depth sampled
e. Direction and approximate feet from permanent reference object
f. Weather conditions
g. Time of sample
h. Radiation readings at one centimeter and one meter before and after sampling 6.8 Land Sampling for Contamination 6.8.1 Restrict passage through the area when possible by cordoning off with ropes.

6.8.2 Establish a grid system of reasonable size squares in area to be surveyed: i.e. 20 ft.

by 20 ft. square for low contamination; 10 ft. by 10 ft. square for moderate contamination; 5 ft. by 5 ft. square for heavy contamination.

6.8.3 Slowly walk along centerline of grid squares holding survey instrument three feet above ground or as directed by the Dose Assessment Manager. Note readings of instrument for deviations from background measurements.

6.8.4 Record reading at center point of each square.

6.8.5 Prepare a map of area surveyed using recorded readings and approximate area of contamination.

6.8.6 If the Survey Area involves hard surfaces (e.g. sidewalk, driveways, rooftops, large rock surfaces) and Dose Assessment requests smears taken, smear surfaces in accordance with instructions in Contamination Surveys. (Attachment 6).

EPIP 2-14:7 6.9 GRASS SAMPLING 6.9.1 Take samples at locations identified for environmental sampling.

6.9.2 Survey three inches and three feet above the surface to determine maximum activity in general area of interest.

6.9.3 Select specific area to be sampled determined by size of sample necessary.

6.9.4 Measure selected sampling area in units of square feet.

6.9.5 Take radiation readings three inches and three feet above the surface of area to be sampled.

6.9.6 Clip grass in sample area as close to the roots as possible without including dirt in the sample. Grass sample should fill approximately a volume of one gallon if possible.

NOTE: DO NOT PULL UP CLUMPS OF GRASS AND DIRT AND SUBMIT AS SAMPLE. THIS SAMPLE WOULD BE MEANINGLESS FOR DETERMINATION OF CONTAMINATION.

NOTE: NO RADIOACTIVITY IS NORMALLY FOUND IN GRASS SAMPLES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NATURALLY OCCURRING K-40.

6.9.7 Collect top 1 inch of soil from area in which grass was clipped as a second sample.

6.9.8 Re-measure radiation levels at three inches and three feet above surface.

6.9.9 Record the following on the Environmental Data Sheet (Attachment 5):

a. Sample location
b. Area sampled in square feet
c. Depth of soil sampled
d. Location on grid or number of feet and direction from permanent reference object.
e. Time of Sample
f. Radiation readings before and after sampling
g. Sample identification
h. Survey meter used 6.9.10 Tag sample bag to clearly identify sample.

EPIP 2-14:8 6.10 Non-Grass Areas NOTE: NO RADIOACTIVITY IS NORMALLY FOUND IN ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CS-137 AT 160 pCi/kg AND NATURALLY OCCURRING K-40.

6.10.1 Take sample at locations identified for environmental sampling.

6.10.2 Survey three inches and three feet above the surface.

6.10.3 If leaves and/or other debris, other than sticks are in the selected area, they should be collected as a separate sample.

6.10.4 Re-measure radiation levels if leaves have been collected for sample.

6.10.5 Collect top 1/2 inch of soil from area selected if level. Collect small plugs of soil if roughly plowed field. Plugs can cover larger area but give approximate square feet area approximately 1 gallon container should be collected.

6.10.6 Re-measure radiation levels at three inches and three feet.

6.10.7 Record the following on the Environmental Data Sheet (Attachment 5):

a. Sample location
b. Area sampled in square feet
c. Depth of soil sampled
d. Location on grid or number of feet and direction from permanent reference object.
e. Time of Sample
f. Radiation readings before and after sampling
g. Sample identification 6.10.8 Tag sample bag to clearly identify sample.

6.11 Vegetation Sampling NOTE: NO RADIOACTIVITY IS NORMALLY FOUND IN VEGETATION SAMPLES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NATURALLY OCCURRING K-40.

6.11.1 Choose vegetation to be sampled based on deposition possibilities and availability for sufficient sample size.

EPIP 2-14:9 NOTE: LEAVES SHOULD BE SAMPLED FROM TOP MOST PART OF TREE. DEPOSITION IS UNLIKELY ON LEAFY AREAS UNDER TALLER TREES OR BUSHES. GROUND COVERS SUCH AS BURDOCK, LETTUCE OR FLOWERS SHOULD BE SELECTED FROM OPEN AREAS. LARGE LEAFY VEGETATION IS BETTER THAN SMALL. IF RAIN HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE RELEASE, DEPOSITED CONTAMINATION MAY HAVE BEEN WASHED OFF.

6.11.2 Take as large a sample as possible considering that it will be compressed into a 1 gallon container.

6.11.3 Record the following on the Environmental Data Sheet (Attachment 5):

a. Location of sample

EPIP 2-15:1 EPIP 2-15 POST PLUME EVALUATION OF OFFSITE DOSES DUE TO DEPOSITION

1.0 PURPOSE

1.1 This procedure provides methods of estimating dose resulting from the deposition of radioactive material transported by a plume. Deposition of radioactive material can result in exposure to people through ingestion of contaminated food or water, external exposure from standing on contaminated ground, and inhalation of re-suspended radionuclides.

1.2 This procedure provides protective action recommendations (PARs) that can be made based on measured area deposition, forage concentration and milk activity. The preventive Protective Action Guide (PAG) establishes levels that cause minimal impact on the food supply by preventing or reducing the concentration of radioactivity in food or animal feed. The preventive PAG is used when projected doses from ingestion can exceed 0.5 rem to the whole body or 1.5 rem to the thyroid.

1.3 The emergency PAG establishes levels at which contaminated food should be isolated from commerce because of greater projected health hazards.

1.4 The emergency PAG is used when projected doses from ingestion can exceed 5 rem to the whole body or 15 rem to the thyroid.

2.0 RESPONSIBILITY

The TSC or EOF Dose Assessment Manager is responsible for implementing this procedure.

6.0 ACTIONS

6.1 Ingestion Pathway Sampling 6.1.1 State, Federal and RG&E environmental survey teams will collect field samples so the offsite levels of radioactive deposition can be determined. The results of the isotopic analysis of samples collected by RG&E and results of surveys made by RG&E will be provided to New York State. The State will use all sample results to determine whether any protective actions are warranted to limit exposure to the public through the food and water pathways.

6.2 Implementation of Protective Action Recommendations 6.2.1 The State will determine if any protective actions are necessary to limit exposure to the public based on the Federal Drug Administration Protective Action Guides. Ifthe protective action guides are exceeded the State will implement necessary protective actions. RG&E Dose Assessment should perform an independent determination and advise the State if the protective action guides are exceeded.

6.3 Protective Action Revision and Termination 6.3.1 The State decides whether protective actions should be revised or terminated.

6.4 Predetermined Protective Action Recommendations 6.4.1 Ifa Site Area Emergency is declared the State will issue an immediate advisory to place all milk animals within two miles on stored feed.

6.4.2 If a General Emergency is declared, the State will issue an immediate advisory to place all milk animals within ten miles on stored feed.

EPIP 2-15:3 6.5 External Dose from Surface Contamination 6.5.1 The external dose from deposition can be determined by surveying the ground surface to obtain the dose rate and multiplying by the projected exposure time.

6.5.2 Surveys are conducted using a dose rate meter and taking readings three feet from the surface. A micro-R meter can be used to survey areas of low level surface contamination.

6.5.3 Compile ground survey readings to establish the preliminary deposition "footprint". Provide ground survey data summaries to the State for use in re entry, relocation and long term recovery 6.5.3.1 The protective action recommended is dependent on the half-life of the contaminant, the nature of the contaminated surface, weather conditions and the magnitude and extent of the contamination. The protective actions range from washing of the contamination by simple hosing to sheltering, followed by evacuation, depending on the severity of the contamination problem.

6.5.3.2 If personal contamination of the public is anticipated prior to taking shelter, recommendations will be made to wash exposed parts of the body, shower and change clothes as soon as practical.

6.6 Projection of Deposition 6.6.1 Determine the area for which the protective action analysis is to be made.

6.6.2 Determine the projected ground deposition activity. This is done by obtaining Xu/Q values from EPIP 2-4. Then, multiplying the release rate of the isotope in pCi/sec, the Xu/Q, the deposition velocity of 0.01 m/sec, 1E6 jiCi/Ci, and the release duration.

Ci/sec x __sec-mph/m3 x 0.01 in/sec x 1 E+6 pLCi/Ci sec = - uCVm 2 6.6.3 Measured ground activity levels and sample results may not be available for hours or days. Ground deposition activity can be measured by surveying with a HP-260 GM probe or equivalent. Survey at three inches from the surface and multiply net cpm by 2.5E-03 to obtain mCi/ m2 . Survey at three feet from the surface and multiply net cpm by 33 to obtain mCi m2 .

6.6.4 Indicate on USGS topographical maps, or equivalent, the location where the sample originated.

6.7 Sample Collection 6.7.1 Samples are collected by Survey Teams using EPIP 2-14 by RG&E survey teams or an equivalent State procedure.

EPIP 2-15:4 6.8 Sample Analysis 6.8.1 Samples should be analyzed using a gamma spectrometer. The analysis can be performed by RG&E at the Ginna site, by New York State environmental lab in Albany, or by a contractor such as the NYPA laboratory in Fulton, NY.

6.8.2 There is normally no measurable radioactivity normally in the environment with the exception of naturally occurring K-40 and Cs-137 from previous fall-out.

Cs-1 37 in soil which has an average value of 160 pCi/kg around Ginna.

6.8.3 Use the following table to assess samples. Ifthe values in the sample are above the table values, recommend to New York State to prevent ingestion of the food sampled.

Recommended Derived Intervention Levels (DIL) or Criterion for Each Radionuclide Group(a),

(b)

All Components of the Diet Radionuclide Group (Bq/kg) (pCi/kg)

Sr-90 160 4300 1-131 170 4600 Cs-1 34 + Cs-1 37 1200 32,000 Pu-238 + Pu-239 + Am- 2 54 241 Ru-1 03 + Ru-1 06(c) (C06800) + (C1450) <1 (Cu/1.8E5) + (Cdl.2E4) <1 Notes:

(a) The DIL for each radionuclide group (except for Ru-1 03 + Ru-106) is applied independently. Each DIL applies to the sum of the concentrations of the radionuclides in the group at the time of measurement.

(b) Applicable to foods as prepared for consumption. For dried or concentrated products such as powdered milk or concentrated juices, adjust by a factor appropriate to reconstitution, and assume the reconstituted water is not contaminated. For spices, which are consumed in very small quantities, use a dilution factor of 10.

(c) Due to the large difference in DILs for Ru-1 03 and Ru-1 06, the individual concentrations of Ru-1 03 and Ru-1 06 are divided by their respective DILs and then summed. The sum must be less than one. C3 and C6 are the concentrations, at the time of measurement, for Ru-1 03 and Ru-1 06 respectively.

EPIP 2-15:5 NOTE: These DILs apply to consumable foods sampled. The FDA DILs provide a large margin of safety for the public because each DIL is set according to a conservatively safe level for the most vulnerable group of individuals. In addition, food would be restricted if radionuclide concentrations reach or exceed a DIL at any point in time, even though the concentrations need to be sustained for an extended period of time for the dose to actually reach the PAG. Food with concentrations below the DILs is permitted to move in commerce without restrictions. Food with concentrations at or above the DILs is not normally permitted into commerce. However, State and local officials have the flexibility in whether or not to apply restrictions.

6.8.4 Assessment of the effective days of intake should consider the specific food, the population involved, the food distribution system and the radionuclide. Whether the food is distributed to the retail market or produced for home use will significantly affect the intake in most instances. While assessment of intake should be on a case-by-case basis, some general comments may be useful in specific circumstances.

6.8.5 For short half-life radionuclides, radioactive decay will limit the ingestion of radioactive materials and the effective "days of intake". The "effective" days of intake in this case is 1.44 times the radiological half-life. For iodine-1 31 (half-life of 8.05 days), the effective "days of intake" is 11 days.

6.8.6 Where the food product is being harvested on a daily basis, it may be reasonable to assume reduction of contamination due to weathering. As an initial assessment, it may be appropriate to assume a 14-day weathering half life (used for forage in pasture/cow/milk pathway) pending further evaluation. In this case, the effective "days of intake" is 20 days. A combination of radioactive decay and weathering would result in an effective half-life for iodine-131 of 5 days and reduce the "days of intake" to 7 days.

6.8.7 In the case of food which is sold in the retail market, the effective "days of intake" would probably be limited by the quantity purchased at a given time. For most food, especially fresh produce, this would probably be about a 1 week supply. In some cases, larger quantities would be purchased for home canning or freezing. For most foods and members of the public, an effective "days of intake" of 30 days is probably conservative.

6.9 Protective Action Recommendations 6.9.1 Recommend any of the following protective actions to reduce the exposure from ingestion for the milk pathway.

Farms Remove lactating dairy animals from contaminated pasturage, move the animals in-doors, and provide uncontaminated feed (had been stored in doors or covered out-of-doors)

EPIP 2-15:6

  • Provide animals with uncontaminated water. Sources may be covered wells, covered cisterns, and closed storage tanks. Do not use surface water such as streams, ponds or open reservoirs.

0 If individual milkings cannot be stored in separate tanks, take a representative one-gallon sample from each milking, label and refrigerate. Samples will be picked up by a survey team.

  • Store for a prolonged period of time at reduced temperature.

0 Prevent introduction of milk supplies into commerce.

Processor

  • Withhold contaminated milk from the market to allow radioactive decay of the short-lived radionuclides. This may be achieved by storing frozen fresh milk, frozen concentrated milk, frozen concentrated milk products.
  • Store for a prolonged period of time at a reduced temperature in conjunction with a special pasteurization process using ultra high temperatures.
  • Divert the production of fluid milk for the production of dry whole milk, non-fat dry milk, butter or evaporated milk.
  • Attempt to store all incoming shipments in separate tanks and segregate milk not originating in the 50-mile EPZ.

  • Limit the ingestion of potable water (either for drinking or cooking) until the source has been checked and approved for consumption.

0 Water stored in closed containers or vessels prior to the incident may be ingested. This includes refrigerator storage, closed tanks, covered wells, etc.

0 Bottled water and canned beverages and juices may be used as water sources Farms

  • Do not use surface water for human or animal consumption. Surface water may be used for sanitary and other non-consumption purposes.

EPIP 2-15:7 Other water sources identified as contaminated should not be consumed but may be used for other purposes.

Water stored in closed tanks or vessels prior to the advisory may be consumed.

Commerce

  • Water identified as contaminated should not be used for processing of materials (consumables, containers) which enter the food chain.
  • Contaminated water may be used for other industrial and commercial operations if so advised.

Public 0 Secure outlets of wells for water identified as contaminated. Do not use reservoir water identified as contaminated. Do not use water for consumption that has not been checked. If approved, this water may be used for sanitary and other purposes.

Use alternate sources of liquid such as: water drawn and stored in closed containers prior to the advisory, bottled water, bottled/canned beverages and juices and water provided by emergency organizations such as the American Red Cross and the National Guard. Arrangements for alternate, emergency water will be made by the County or State authorities.

6.9.3 Recommend any of the following protective actions to reduce the exposure from ingestion for the fresh fruits and vegetables pathway, fin fish and shell fish pathway, animal feeds pathway (other than pasture grass). This includes crops in the field, in transit to market, roadside stands, markets and in homes.

Commerce 0 Remove surface contamination by washing, brushing, scrubbing or peeling.

0 Food in sealed packages, cans, cartons, barrels etc. needs no treatment.

  • Suspend fishing operations until resumption is recommended. Check each catch made on the day of the advisory. Keep catch covered until transported outside the area of possible contamination.

0 Prevent introduction of food type into commerce if it has been identified as contaminated.

  • Consider other sources of food originating outside the 50-mile EPZ.

0 Do not process or vend unpackaged food if the operations area is contaminated.

0 Stay alert for public information bulletins.

Public 0 Ifstored in the open, remove surface contamination by washing, brushing, scrubbing or peeling.

0 Food in sealed packages, in refrigerators or closets are otherwise protected, and need no treatment.

EPIP 2-15:8

  • Preserve food before contamination by canning, freezing and dehydration.

0 Cooked or raw food may be stored in a refrigerator, closet, box or other closed container.

0 Store food to permit radioactive decay of short-lived radionuclides.

a Restrict diet to foods stored in closed containers prior to the advisory or packaged, sealed foods.

0 Stay alert for public information bulletins.
