I WBN I RADIOLOGICAL CONTROL RESPONSE I EPIP-141 y> 3.0 INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 General Instructions 3.1.1 The response to radiological emergencies by RADCON personnel will depend upon the type and magnitude of the existing emergency condition. This can range from a minimal response requiring one or two people to a total manpower mobilization. In addition, it should be noted radiological problems may not be associated with a given emergency [as defined in the Radiological Emergency Plan (REP)]. Natural phenomena, security threats, or other events not involving radiological problems could be the cause for the emergency status.
3.1.2 IF an ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY, or GENERAL EMERGENCY is classified, RADCON is required to assemble a specific number of personnel as described below.
A. During normal and off-shifts, an ALERT will be announced over the public address system and the emergency pagers will be activated. (In the event of a SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY, the offsite sirens will be activated by the state.)
B. The RADCON Lab will be contacted by the SM/SED, or designee. The Radiological Control Shift Supervisor (RCSS) will determine the number of RADCON personnel currently onsite and will ensure at least a total of seven (7) additional are available onsite within approximately 60 minutes.
PAGE 5 OF 26 REVISION 16
I WBN I RADIOLOGICAL CONTROL RESPONSE EPIP-14 3.0 INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 3.2 Precautions and Limitations During a radiological emergency, established radiological control procedures will normally be utilized to cover most situations. Since the magnitude of the problem(s) may be more severe, it is imperative that all requirements for entry into affected plant areas be met. This section summarizes items that will need to be addressed prior to entry into the affected areas and during recovery operations.
3.2.1 Plant accidents involving core damage may produce excessive dose rates and airborne activity concentrations within plant areas.
Radiological precautions must be followed under these conditions until available data indicates otherwise.
3.2.2 These precautions could include the following:
- The use of respiratory equipment.
- Issuance of KI.
- Multiple layers of protective clothing.
- The use of RWP (911) for drills and (3911) for actual emergencies should be utilized to cover the entry team(s).
- Personnel will be instructed to monitor their dosimetry frequently to prevent overexposure.
3.2.3 IF core damage is suspected or if for any other reason elevated airborne activity concentrations are present, then appropriate respiratory protection will be required. Initial entry will probably require the use of respiratory equipment, since iodines may be present in significant quantities.
CAUTION IF spent fuel damage is involved, be aware of the potential for significant skin doses from Kr-85. After spent fuel has decayed greater than 190 days, Kr-85 is the predominant gaseous nuclide.
Consequently, the dose to the skin could be approximately 150 times the whole body dose.
PAGE 6OF 26 REVISION 16
I WBN I RADIOLOGICAL CONTROL RESPONSE I EPIP-144 3.0 INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 3.2.4 The respiratory guidelines in Appendix H will be considered during emergency incidents.
3.2.5 Special precautions must be taken when obtaining samples. Smears may have significant dose rates (in the REM/hr range). High airborne activity could result in significant activity concentrations being collected onto the filter media. FOLLOW standard RADCON procedures, should samples be considered radiological hazards.
3.2.6 ENSURE all electronic dosimeters are properly processed for each worker. MAKE arrangements to have TLDs read, as soon as possible.
IF possible, RESTRICT repetitive entries of workers. SUBSTITUTE other qualified personnel for team members, on reentry's, to distribute exposures. Employee's remaining allowable dose shall be verified by RADCON prior to entry into plant areas.
3.2.7 IF plant conditions are such that radiological conditions are changing rapidly, it may not be possible to use previous data in order to determine protective requirements. This factor must be considered prior to allowing survey teams into affected plant areas.
3.2.8 The "Buddy System" shall be utilized for initial entries into any area where radiological conditions are not known or any area where radiological conditions could be changing due to plant conditions. At least one person of the buddy system must be qualified in radiological controls procedures. Monitoring teams should maintain communication capabilities with the RADCON Lab.
3.2.9 Habitability surveys of OSC, TSC, and assembly areas shall be performed as necessary.
3.2.10 Advanced Radiation Worker (ARW) trained REP responders will respond (upon request) to the Radiological Control Shift Supervisor during a radiological emergency and provide support and surveillance as needed during the initial phase.

I WBN I RADIOLOGICAL CONTROL RESPONSE I EPIP-14 3.0 INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 3.7 Radioiodine Sample Acquisition CAUTION 1 RCI-101 should be referenced for hazards associated with Silver Zeolite cartridge use.
CAUTION 2 Sample cartridges may exhibit high dose rates after sampling during accident conditions. Exercise good ALARA practices when handling, storing, and disposing of these cartridges.
3.7.1 During accident conditions, noble gas concentrations may be present in significant quantities. The collection of these noble gases on charcoal cartridges during iodine sampling will interfere with subsequent iodine analysis. Silver zeolite (AgZ) cartridges are provided for use during periods of high noble gas concentrations.
3.7.2 Radioiodine samples should be collected at 30 liters per minute (LPM) for daily or weekly samples. Grab samples may be collected at 30 or 60 LPM based upon the type of air sampler used and the conditions in the sample location.
3.7.3 Radioiodine sample volumes of less than 900 liters may be performed if it is known or suspected that dose rates on the AgZ cartridges will exceed 10 mrem/hr. During these instances, sample duration's may be reduced to 5 minutes. Sample duration's less than 5 minutes may be used for ALARA purposes but shall be pre-approved by the RCSS.
3.7.4 Upon completion of sampling activities, the air sample should be returned to the RADCON Lab for analysis as soon as possible. A radiation survey of the sample head shall be performed to determine the contact dose rate. The results of this survey shall determine any special handling or packaging requirements during analysis.
PAGE 14 OF 26 REVISION 16
I WBN I RADIOLOGICAL CONTROL RESPONSE I EPIP-1 4 3.0 INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 3.7 Radioiodine Sample Acquisition (continued) 3.7.5 IF the iodine sample activity is Ž 1 mrem/hr., a contact dose rate should be taken by using a Ludlum 14-C or equivalent GM survey instrument with the beta window CLOSED. The radioiodine air activity can be approximated by using the following formula:
[Average of the Front and Back Contact laCi/ml = Dose Rate (mrem/hr) X 5.1 E-3]
Volume (liters) 3.7.6 Radioiodine cartridges with contact gamma dose rates greater than or equal to 100 mrem/hr shall not be delivered to the Chemistry Lab without prior approval of the Chemistry Count Room Supervisor and the RCSS.
3.7.7 RADCON personnel shall inform Chemistry personnel of the contact dose rates of the samples.

I WBN I EMERGENCY EXPOSURE GUIDELINES I EPIP-1 56 3.0 INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Specific definitions as used in this procedure are contained in Appendix D.
A. The Site Emergency Director (SED) is the only individual responsible for authorizing Emergency dose limits in excess of TVA Administrative dose limits and 10 CFR 20.1201. Appendix A and B shall be used to provide written authorization.
NOTE: As defined by the emergency situation, this approval may be relayed verbally and documented later.
B. The Radiological Control (RADCON) Group is responsible for completing Appendix B-1, "Authorization to Exceed Occupational Dose Limits," obtaining the Site Emergency Director's approval and will perform radiological surveys or other assessments to estimate the radiation doses.
C. In all cases, the site RADCON Manager shall be informed of any emergency exposure immediately so that a determination of the total quarterly exposure can be made. Based on the results of the determination, the worker may be restricted from further dose.
3.1 EXPOSURE LIMITATIONS 3.1.1 ACTIONS FOR LIFE SAVING OR PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC A. For immediate activities up to 25 rad which are necessary to:
(1) Save Human Life.
For lifesaving operations situations may occur in which a dose in excess of 25 rad would be required. It is not possible to prejudge the risk that one person should be allowed to take to save the life of another. However, persons undertaking an emergency mission in which the dose would exceed 25 rad to the whole body should do so only on a voluntary basis and with full awareness of the risks involved.
(2) Restore equipment necessary to maintain critical safety functions or to establish and maintain a safe shutdown, (3) Prevent or Mitigate a release of radioactivity to the environment for which off-site protective measures may be required. For these activities, the TEDE of personnel directly involved shall not exceed 25 rad. This limit is applicable only if actions establishing adequate or equivalent protection, with less dose, are not readily available.
PAGE 5 OF 16 REVISION 11
I WBN I EMERGENCY EXPOSURE GUIDELINES I EPIP-155 3.1.1 ACTIONS FOR LIFE SAVING OR PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC (cont.)
B. Limit for lens of eye is 75 rad, or three (3) times the TEDE value.
C. Limit for any other organ (including skin and body extremities) is 250 rad, or ten (10) times the TEDE value.
3.1.2 ACTIONS FOR IMMEDIATE REPAIR OR TO PREVENT THE FAILURE OF EQUIPMENT A. For activities performed on an immediate basis to prevent the failure of equipment necessary to protect the public health and safety, the TEDE of personnel directly involved shall not exceed 10 rem. This limit is applicable only if actions establishing adequate or equivalent protection, with a less dose consequence, are not readily available.
B. Limit for lens of eye of 30 rad, three (3) times the TEDE limit.
C. Limit for any other organ (including skin and body extremities) of 100 rad, or ten (10) times the TEDE limit.
j 3.1.3 INTERNAL EXPOSURE (EMERGENCY WORKERS)
A. Guidelines for internal exposure controls of WBN emergency workers are provided in Appendix C.
PAGE 6 OF 16 REVISION 11
I WBN I EMERGENCY EXPOSURE GUIDELINES I EPIP-1 5 3.1.4 POST-EXPOSURE EVALUATIONS A. Personnel receiving emergency or accident exposures should be restricted from further occupational exposure pending the outcome of exposure evaluations and, if necessary, medical surveillance.
B. An exposure evaluation shall be performed to determine the individual dose.
RADCON shall conduct post exposure dose assessments for exposed individuals, with particular attention to determining the adequacy of administrative dosimeter correction factors for TEDE doses resulting from internal and external exposures.
This evaluation should be based on observed area dose rates, airborne activity measurements, and dosimetry results. The evaluation shall be documented in an appropriate format and filed with the individual's exposure records. Appropriate reports shall be submitted to RADCON and the US NRC.
C. Any exposures above 5 rem TEDE shall be reported to a TVA physician or designee. It is the responsibility of the physician to determine appropriate medical evaluations and required care. Cross reference guidance is in EPIP-10.
3.1.5 EMERGENCY DOSE EXTENSIONS K> A. In REP emergency situations, planned doses to radiological workers can be extended beyond the TVA administrative limits to the 10 CFR 20 regulatory limits.
3.1.6 ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS A. Refer to Appendix A and B of this procedure.

A. These (emergency) limits are in excess of 10 CFR 20 limits. These limits apply only to planned exposures and not to spontaneous reactions by individuals attempting to mitigate the accident.
B. Emergency exposure limits apply only to TVA personnel, who are qualified as radiation workers at the plant and have been issued dosimetry.
C. Personnel who have received previous accident or emergency exposure in excess of 25 rad TEDE shall not participate in further emergency exposure situations.
D. Personnel who have declared pregnancy in accordance with other site procedures, shall not participate in emergency exposure situations.
E. Receipt of emergency dose limits shall be on a voluntary basis. Other factors being equal, older volunteers should be selected first.
F. Personnel receiving emergency exposures, in excess of 25 rad, shall be informed of the risks involved, including the numerical levels of dose at which acute effects of radiation will be incurred, and numerical estimates of the risk of delayed effects.
EPA tables are provided following these general instructions for this purpose.
G. Personnel shall not enter any area where dose rates are unknown or unmeasurable with instruments and dosimetry immediately available.
H. Internal exposure should be minimized by the use of respiratory protection equipment. Respirator Issue Guidelines are given in Appendix C. Protective clothing should be used to minimize personal contamination.
I. The dose of personnel authorized to receive emergency exposures shall be monitored and recorded as provided for in the Site RADCON procedures.
J. The exposure of personnel during emergency operations shall be maintained as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).

K. The dose limits specified in this procedure are intended as upper limits for guidance during emergency situations, and planned doses for rescue and emergency repairs.
Recovery operations shall not exceed these limits.
L. If a projected dose to the thyroid is expected to exceed 10 rem during a radiological emergency, Potassium Iodide (KI) should be issued in accordance with WBN, EPIP-14 to on-site personnel as a protective measure. The SED shall be informed prior to issuance.
M. The RADCON Group will prepare Appendix B-1, Authorization to Exceed Occupational Dose Limits, and obtain the Site Emergency Director's approval.
N. Following the exposure, these individuals must be removed from areas where they can receive additional dose.
NOTE 1: Until isotopic assessments of airborne radioactivity are available, an administrative correction factor of 2 should be used to estimate TEDE exposures in airborne activity areas:
Estimated TEDE = dosimeter reading x 2 NOTE 2: The above value corresponds to the ratio of external (measured) dose to estimated TEDE dose, in accordance with default values in the TVA's Dose Assessment model. When accident specific nuclide assessments are available, more definitive dose assessments should be performed to adjust the correction factors.

I WBN I EMERGENCY EXPOSURE GUIDELINES EPIP- 5 APPENDIX D DEFINITIONS Page 1 of 1 Accident Exposure - Exposure to radiation or radioactive materials that results from an unexpected event. Accident exposure refers to the immediate consequences of the unexpected event and the immediate corrective/mitigative actions of personnel present at the scene where the event occurred. Accident exposures are not controlled by the Radiological Emergency Plan (REP), and may be reportable to the NRC under 10 CFR 20 and/or 10 CFR 50.72.
CDE - Committed Dose Equivalent CEDE - Committed Effective Dose Equivalent DAC - Derived Air Concentration DDE - Deep Dose Equivalent Emergency Exposure - Exposure to radiation or radioactive materials that is the result of actions taken in response to an emergency condition classified and declared pursuant to the Watts Bar Radiological Emergency Plan (REP). Emergency exposure refers to radiation exposure caused by those assessment, corrective, and mitigative actions that are required on an immediate basis to protect human lives, or to prevent or minimize the collective exposure of large populations. Such activities are directed by the Control Room or by the TSC.
LDE - Eye Dose Equivalent Life Saving Action - Those actions related to the search and rescue of injured persons.
Planned Special Exposure (PSE) - As defined in 10 CFR 20, an infrequent exposure to radiation, separate from and in addition to the annual dose limits. PSEs might be warranted in the recovery phase. However, it is unlikely that the PSE requirements could be met during the initial phases of the emergency.
RAD/REM - For purposes of this implementing procedure, radiation exposure as expressed in units of R/hr and subunits, thereof, is equivalent to dose (rad) and dose equivalent (rem) based on ANSI N 13.11 development and terminology. Any acute dose greater than 10 rem is generally denoted in units of rad, since that level is considered as the accident range of personnel exposure. Any dose less than that level is considered the protective range of personnel exposure. For purposes of this procedure the assumption of 1 rad = 1 rem is assumed for all levels of exposure.
SDE - Shallow Dose Equivalent TEDE - Total Effective Dose Equivalent PAGE 16OF 16 REVISION 11

WBN TERMINATION OF THE EMERGENCY EPIP-16 AND RECOVERY 3.0 INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 TERMINATION 3.1.1 In extended emergency events the Site Emergency Director (SED) in conjunction with the Central Emergency Control Center (CECC) Director and State Emergency Operations Center (when activated) will make the determination of when an emergency condition is resolved in accordance with the following criteria and may declare the onsite termination of the emergency.
The recovery organization duties are the responsibility of the Plant Manager and the WBN Vice President.
3.1.2 The termination of an emergency will be dependent on the nature of the emergency and the status of the plant systems following corrective measures.
The provisions within this procedure are expected to be applicable to all long term emergencies (i.e., Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency) where the TSC and CECC have activated. It may be necessary to supplement this guidance with provisions specific to the emergency at hand.
3.1.3 The decision to terminate the emergency will be based upon a comprehensive review of plant parameters and completion of Appendix A of this procedure.
3.1.4 Should an emergency situation recur following a termination, the SED will reactivate the emergency response organization.
3.2 RECOVERY 3.2.1 The overall goals of the recovery effort are to assess the in plant consequences of the emergency, perform clean up and repair operations, and restore the plant to a pre-determined status.
3.2.2. The decision to enter the recovery phase will be made by the SED with concurrence from the CECC Director and the Senior Vice President, Nuclear Operations. Following the decision to enter into the recovery phase, the Senior Vice President, Nuclear Operations or his designee will direct the overall recovery effort.
