Title Revision No.
Emergency Public Information Implementing Procedure 5 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this implementing procedure is to describe the manner in which OCGS will furnish public information in the event of a formal emergency declaration at its Oyster Creek Generating Station. A premium is placed on providing information promptly and accurately to the media, public officials, employees, members of the public, public agencies and OCGS senior officers through appropriate means.
2.0 APPLICABILITY/SCOPE 2.1 Upon declaration of an emergency condition, the Emergency Response Organization is responsible for the dissemination of information. These emergency conditions are: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency.
3.0 DEFINITIONS 3.1 Emergency Classifications 4) 3.1.1 Unusual Event - the least serious level of emergency used in the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is a potential reduction in the level of safety at the plant. It is not expected to cause a release of radioactivity or to have any effort on the safety or health of the general public.
3.1.2 Alert - the next to lowest level of emergency used in the U.S.
commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is an actual or potentially substantial degradation in the level of plant safety. An alert usually does not involve releases of radioactivity from the plant or have an effect on the safety or health of the general public.

-, Emergency Public Information Implementing Procedure 5 3.1.3 Site Area Emergency - the next-to-highest level of emergency used in the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is a substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant, with possible damage to the plant's nuclear core or releases of radioactivity that are detectable at the site boundary. If releases of radioactivity were to occur, the effects on the general public would be minimal.
3.1.4 General Emergency - the highest level of emergency used in the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is actual or imminent damage to the plant's reactor core with releases of radioactivity that are measurable at the site boundary.
3.1.4.1 Protective Actions - once a General-Emergency has been declared, OCGS Management consults with state officials who are responsible for making recommendations concerning public safety. OCGS makes recommendations to the state, but it is up to the governor to take those recommendations or take another course of action. OCGS does not release its recommendations to the public to avoid confusion should the governor order a different action.

Unusual Event - the least serious level of emergency used in the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is a potential reduction in the level of safety at the plant. It is not expected to cause a release of radioactivity or to have any effort on the safety or health-of the general public.
Alert - the next to lowest level of emergency used in the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is an actual or potentially substantial degradation in the level of plant safety. An alert usually does not involve releases of radioactivity from the plant or have an effect on the safety or health of the general public.
Site Area Emergency - the next-to-highest level of emergency used in the U.S.
commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is a substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant, with possible damage to the plant's nuclear core
-or releases of radioactivity that-are detectable-at the site boundary. If releases of radioactivity were to occur, the effects on the general public would be minimal.
W, General Emergency - the highest level of emergency used in the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is actual or imminent damage to the plant's reactor core with releases of radioactivity that are measurable at the site boundary.
Protective Actions - once a General Emergency has been declared, OCGS consults with state officials who are responsible for making recommendations concerning public safety. OCGS makes recommendations to the state, but it is up to the governor to take those recommendations or take another course of action. OCGS does not release its recommendations to the public to avoid confusion should the governor order a different action.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TERMINOLOGY/DEFINITIONS FOR OYSTER CREEK Radiological Terms:
Contamination - any radioactive material in an undesired location Dose - the amount of radiation a person receives from exposure to radiation. The average dose a person receives from a chest x-ray is about 10 millirems.
Radiation - energy released in the form of particles or waves (alpha, beta or neutron particles, gamma rays or waves). It occurs naturally all around us as well as in our bodies. Radioactive material is any substance that emits radiation. The release of radioactivity from the plant is tracked and reported annually.
Radiological Controlled Area (RCA) - areas-of the plant that have been designated for radiological control due to the presence of radiation or contamination.
rem - an acronym for Roentgen Equivalent-Man, which is the measurement of the potential impact of radiation dose on human cells. A chest x-ray is about 10 millirem, and one-thousand millirem equals one rem.
Reuters-Stokes Monitor - a real-time radiation monitor which displays background radiation. One can walk up to a monitor and see exactly what the background radiation is at that moment. At various locations around Oyster Creek, there are 19 Reuters-Stokes Monitors which feed radiological information to environmental scientists at the plant and to the NJ department of Environmental Protection in Trenton.
Spent Fel - used nuclear fuel, which is high level radioactive waste.
Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) - a radiation measuring device that must be read in the laboratory. It is used to measure and record doses to people and areas of the plant or environment. TLDs are collected and read every quarter.
tritium - a radioactive isotope that occurs naturally in the environment wherever there is water. Radiation from tritium is so weak that most radiation monitors do not detect it. However, tritium levels are measured through laboratory analyses.
Tritium is routinely measured by Oyster Creek personnel. It and all radioactivity releases from the plant are required to be tracked and reported annually.

IEmergency Public Information Implementing Procedure 5 ATTACHMENT 1820-IMP-1720.01-3 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TERMINOLOGY/DEFINITIONS FOR OYSTER CREEK Emergency Classifications (4):
Unusual Event - the least serious level of emergency used in the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is a potential reduction in the level of safety at the plant. It is not expected to cause a release of radioactivity or to have any effort on the safety or health of the general public.
Alert - the next to lowest level of emergency used in the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is an actual or potentially substantial degradation in the level of plant safety. An alert usually does not involve releases of radioactivity from the plant or have an effect on the safety or health of the general public.
Site Area Emergency - the next-to-highest level of emergency used in the U.S.
commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is a substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant, with possible damage to the plant's nuclear core
or releases of radioactivity that are detectable at the site boundary. If releases of radioactivity were to occur, the effects on the general public would be minimal.
General Emergency - the highest level of emergency used in the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. It means there is actual or imminent damage to the plant's reactor core with releases of radioactivity that are measurable at the site boundary.
Protective Actions - once a General Emergency has been declared, OCGS consults with state officials who are responsible for making recommendations concerning public safety. OCGS makes recommendations to the state, but it is up to the governor to take those recommendations or take another course of action. OCGS does not release its recommendations to the public to avoid confusion should the governor order a different action.
Rumor Control/Public Information Numbers:
For General Public Only During declared emergencies at Oyster Creek, member of the general public should be directed to call the toll-free rumor control" number established by the State of New Jersey: 1(800) 792-8314 For Public Offcialsl/News Kedia/Regulatory and Industry Representatives Public officials, members of federal and state regulatory agencies, industry representatives and members of the news media should be instructed to call or be transferred to the following internal number: 1(609) 971-4020 (172001/S12) E9-1

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TERMINOLOGY/DEFINITIONS FOR OYSTER CREEK Radiological Terms:
Contamination - any radioactive material in an undesired location Dose - the amount of radiation a person receives from exposure to radiation. The average dose a person receives from a chest x-ray is about 10 millirems.
Radiation - energy released in the form of particles or waves (alpha, beta or neutron particles, gamma rays or waves). It occurs naturally all around us as well as in our bodies. Radioactive material is any substance that emits radiation. The release of radioactivity from the plant is tracked and reported annually.
Radiological Controlled Area (RCA) - areas of the plant that have been designated for radiological control due to the presence of radiation or contamination.
rem - an acronym for Roentgen Equivalent Man, which is the measurement of the potential impact of radiation dose on human cells. A chest x-ray is about 10 millirem, and one-thousand millirem equals one rem.
Reuters-Stokes Monitor - a real-time radiation monitor which displays background radiation. One can walk up to a monitor and see exactly what the background radiation is at that moment. At various locations around Oyster Creek, there are 19 Reuters-Stokes Monitors which feed radiological information to environmental scientists at the plant and to the NJ department of Environmental Protection-in Trenton.
Spent Fuel - used nuclear fuel, which is high level radioactive waste.
Therzoluminescent Dosimeter (WLD) - a radiation measuring device that must be read in the laboratory. It is used to measure and-record doses to people and areas of the plant or environment. TLDs are collected and read every quarter.
Tritium - a radioactive isotope that occurs naturally in the environment wherever there is water. Radiation from tritium is so weak that most radiation monitors do not detect it. However, tritium levels are measured through laboratory analyses.
Tritium is routinely measured by Oyster Creek personnel. It and all radioactivity releases from the plant are required to be tracked and reported annually.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TERMINOLOGY/DEFINITIONS FOR OYSTER CREEK General erms:
Auxiliary Emergency Transfer - part of Oyster Creek's Station Blackout system, which provides an alternate source of emergency electrical power to plant safety systems.
CondenserlCondenser Vacuum - cools the steam from the turbine back into water, which is cycled back to the reactor. The vacuum maintains the ability to condense the steam back into water.
Control Rod lades - x-shaped blades made of neutron absorbing material (Boron) that control the fission process in of the reactor.
Control Room Annunciators - alarm lights -in the control room which alert operators of changing plant conditions. -
Drill - an exercise consisting of a series of simulated events and emergency conditions that would require implementation of the plant's emergency plan.
DrywellFPrimary Containment - an engineered safety system, which contains the reactor and acts as one of the barriers to-radioactive release. It is made of a carbon steel shell encased in high-density reinforced concrete.
Electromatic Relief Valve (MV) - Oyster Creek has five EMRVs that serve a dual purpose. They act as pressure relief valves to discharge steam to the torus when a high pressure condition is sensed in the main steam lines. They also serve to relieve reactor pressure as part of the automatic depressurization system (ADS).
Emergency Planning Zone EPZ) - the area within a 10-mile radius of the plant, which includes 17 municipalities.
Fuel Rods/Assemblles - an eight by eight configuration that contains 62 fuel rods and 2 water rods that provide fuel for the reactor.
Hydrogen Storage Tank - located outside the plant's protected area a few hundred yards southeast of the reactor building. Hydrogen is used to cool the main generator and to improve water chemistry in the reactor coolant.
Intake/Discharge Canals - the man-made water passageway that forms a horse-shoe shape around Oyster Creek to provide cooling for plant systems.

The JIC is located at the GPU Energy Office Building, 55 River Ave. (Route 9), at the intersection of Hurley Ave., about 20 miles north of Oyster Creek. Aside from company and government representatives, only members of the news media with appropriate credentials will be admitted to the center. All others can call the rumor control number operated by the state for official information on the emergency.
Loss of Coolant Accident (OCA) - an accident scenario involving the loss of water from the primary system, which requires Oyster Creek to shut down the reactor.
Min Steam Isolation Valve (IV) - containment isolation valves designed to minimize coolant loss from the vessel and to limit off site does in the event of a main -steam line accident. -- Testing (closure--test) is -done- on -the MSIVs once every-three months at 40 percent power.
Owner Controlled Area (OCA) - any areas outside the Protected Area under the control of the utility owner, OCGS.
Protected Area (PA) - the area of the plant encompassed by physical barriers into which access is controlled.
Reactor Building/Seconday Containment - the building that houses the plant's reactor and provides an additional barrier to the release of radioactive materials during periods when primary containment has been established. The reactor building, which is made of reinforced concrete and steel frame, serves as the primary containment when the drywell is open for refueling and maintenance. It completely encloses the drywell and reactor auxiliary systems. The barriers are the reactor building, the standby gas treatment system and the reactor building ventilation supply and exhaust dampers.
Reactor Core - nuclear fuel assemblies that are the source of heat for sustaining the fission process in a reactor to produce electricity.
Reactor Vessel - the structure that houses the nuclear fuel.
SCRA - a rapid insertion of control rods shutting down the reactor, which can be initiated manually or automatically.
Site Accountability - a process that is normally initiated during a Site Area Emergency, but can be performed at any time, to account for plant employees.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TERMINOLOGY/DEFINITIONS FOR OYSTER CREEK Plant Systems:
Automatic Depressurization System (ADS) - a safety system designed to automatically reduce pressure in the reactor vessel under certain accident conditions, to allow the core spray system to be effective in adding coolant to the core under those conditions (small break LOCAs). ADS, which consists of five electromatic relief valves that discharge to the torus, is one of three subsystems of the Emergency Core Cooling System.
Augmented Off-Gas (AOG) System - reduces the amount of radioactive gas released to the environment by serving as a holding station to allow the radioactive materials to decay, and also filtering out radioactive particles.
Combustion Turbines (CTs) - gas-fired turbine generators which supply backup power for Oyster Creek.
Condensate/Feedwater System - returns condensed steam to the reactor and maintains reactor vessel water level.
Condensate Transfer System - supplies water for the condensate demineralizer resin replacement, providing cooling for various pumps, and flushing and makeup water to various plant systems.
Control Rod Drive CRD) ydraulic System - supplies and controls the pressure and flow requirements of the control rod drives. It also can be used to add makeup water to the reactor.
containment Spray/Emergency Service Water (/ESW) System - safety systems designed to reduce primary containment temperature and pressure following a design basis loss-of-coolant-accident. These systems also limit the offsite doses by reducing the driving force of containment leakage.
Core Spray System (CSS) - one of three subsystems of the Emergency Core Cooling System. It is a low pressure, engineered safety system which supplies cooling water to the reactor after large or intermediate pipe breaks to prevent fuel damage.
Demineralized Water System - supplies pure water for initial fill and makeup to various water systems.
Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) - a required emergency safety system used to provide effective core cooling to prevent damage to nuclear fuel cladding and to limit damage to equipment/components during a loss-of-coolant-accident (LOCA).
ECCS consists of three separate subsystems: the isolation condenser system, the core spray system (CSS) and ADS.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TERMINOLOGY/DEFINITIONS FOR OYSTER CREEK Emergency Diesel enerator (EDG) - two diesel generators which provide electrical power to ensure safe shut down of Oyster Creek at the loss of off-site power. The EDG Building is located on the southwest side of the Protected Area.
Isolation Condenser System - one of three subsystems of ECCS and serves as large heat exchangers, which are used to reduce pressure and remove heat in the plant's reactor in the event that the turbine generator and main condenser are unavailable to remove heat. It is a standby, high-pressure system that can be activated manually or automatically to prevent overheating of the reactor fuel, to control reactor pressure, and to limit the loss of-reactor coolant through the relief valves.
Radwaste System - supports plant operation by providing for backwash and precoat of the fuel pool filter, replacing demineralizer resin and disposing of spent resin and filter media, and purification of contaminated waste water for recycling back to the reactor. -
Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RECCW) System - supplies cooling water to selected reactor building, drywell and old radwaste facility auxiliary equipment subject to radioactive contamination during all modes of plant operation.
Reactor Protection System RPS) - a safety system which provides automatic reactor protection by rapidly inserting all control rods or automatically shutting down the plant if certain limits are exceeded during any mode of plant operation. No single failure can prevent the RPS from performing its protective function, which is to protect the core against fuel cladding damage and the reactor vessel from overpressure, and minimizing the release of radioactive materials. This system can also be tested on-line without initiating a reactor shutdown.
Reactor Water Cleanup (WCU) System - a closed-loop system which constantly removes impurities from reactor coolant by recirculating it through filters and a demineralizer for continuous cleanup.
Shutdown Cooling System - cools the reactor after shutdown to permit vessel head removal for refueling and also removes decay heat while the reactor is in cold shutdown.
