EPIP 1-13:1 EPIP 1-13 LOCAL RADIATION EMERGENCY

1.0 PURPOSE

1.1 To outline actions to protect the health and safety of personnel within the plant in the event that a Local Radiation Emergency is indicated.

2.0 RESPONSIBILITY

2.1 It is the Control Room's responsibility to implement this procedure.

3.0 REFERENCES

3.1 Nuclear Emergency Response Plan 3.2 A-1, Radiation Control Manual 3.3 Supplement to IE Information Notice No. 80-06, July 29, 1980.

3.4 RPA-EMERGENCY, Radiological Emergency Response 3.5 AR-RMS-12, R12 CNMT Gas 3.6 AR-RMS-14, R14 Vent Gas

4.0 PRECAUTIONS

4.1 The Security Shift Supervisor should consider limiting vehicles entering or leaving the site if vehicles could be potentially contaminated.

5.0 PREREQUISITES

5.1 The following conditions indicate a Local Radiation Emergency:

5.1.1 An unexplained area radiation monitor on alarm.

5.1.2 Report of unexpected increase in airborne activity in a work area.

5.1.3 Report of a radioactive spill that results in an upgrade of the contamination level.

5.1.4 Valid HI FLUX AT SHUTDOWN ALARM.

5.1.5 Fuel Handling Accident

EPIP 1-13:2 5.1.6 It is deemed necessary by Control Room personnel or Radiation Protection.

l 5.1.7 A plant vent or containment vent monitor alarm less than the Unusual Event Criteria.

6.0 ACTIONS

6.1 Control Room Operator 6.1.1 Upon notification that a Local Radiation Emergency exists, the following actions should be taken:

6.1.2 Make an appropriate announcement over the paging system that all personnel shall evacuate the affected area.

6.1.2.1 For evacuation of the Containment Building:

a. Announce over the plant PA system that the Plant Evacuation Alarm is applicable only to personnel in Containment

b. Sound the Plant Evacuation Alarm.

6.1.2.2 For a fuel handling accident in the SFP area, make the following announcement:

"Attention personnel in the Auxiliary Building and Contaminated Storage Building. There is a local radiation emergency in the spent fuel pool area. All personnel exit through the nearest outside door and report to the Radiation Protection office."

6.1.3 Take appropriate action to limit, contain or correct the condition. Refer to RMS Alarm Response and ER-RMS.1, Locating Source of High Activity Plant Vent, as required. Consider altering the ventilation line up to optimize filter flow and negative pressure in the Aux. Bldg.

6.1.4 Notify the Shift Supervisor to perform section 6.2 .

6.1.5 Notify the Radiation Protection Section to perform Section 6.3 .

6.2 Shift Supervisor 6.2.1 Report to the Control Room.

6.2.2 Evaluate plant conditions and direct appropriate actions.

6.2.3 Evaluate the results of the radiation survey.

EPIP 1-13:3

a. If the results of the survey show radiation or contamination levels to be normal, permit routine entry to the area. Announce over the paging system that a local radiation emergency no longer exists and that the area is cleared for routine entry.

b. If the results of the radiation survey show radiation or contamination levels above normal in the local area, insure that the affected area is roped off and appropriately posted with specific radiological condition information.

6.2.4 Evaluate conditions for higher level of emergency event. Refer to EPIP 1-0.

6.2.5 Notify the Security Force to restrict vehicle access to and from site if vehicles could be potentially contaminated.

6.2.6 Determine the cause of local radiation emergency and take appropriate steps to return condition to normal.

6.2.7 Notify the Radiation Protection Manager and Maintenance Manager to evaluate and determine the course of action.

6.2.8 Have the Radiation Protection Technician monitor potentially contaminated personnel at the Decontamination area.

6.3 Radiation Protection Technician 6.3.1 Upon notification that a Local Radiation Emergency exists, the following actions should be taken:

6.3.2 Implement applicable portions of RPA- Emergency.

6.3.3 Check personnel logged into the RADOS system and make sure that all personnel in the area are accounted for.

6.4 Personnel in the Area 6.4.1 Upon notification or recognition that a Local Radiation Emergency exists:

6.4.2 Notify the Control Room of the conditions in the area and suspected cause of the emergency.

6.4.3 If possible, take steps to isolate and/or contain the source of radiation without being subjected to unnecessary radiation exposure.

6.4.4 Leave the area as directed by the announced local evacuation.

EPIP 1-13:4 6.4.5 Take appropriate steps while leaving the area to minimize the spread of contamination, and follow normal decon procedures and report to the decontamination area for monitoring.

6.5 Other Personnel Onsite 6.5.1 Upon notification that a Local Radiation Emergency exists, stay clear of the area and standby for further instructions.

6.6 Subsequent Actions:

6.6.1 Initiate an ACTION Report to determine corrective actions necessary to clean up the area and return the area to its normal condition.

6.6.2 When conditions return to normal, notify Security.
