Revision 8 (5/29/03)
This revision of EI-13 was initiated due to concerns raised by the Radiation Safety Department regarding the use of a control point on the site access road during a site evacuation. It has been determined that the control point is not necessary during an emergency where there is no release in progress. If there is a radiological release in progress, it would be best to get plant personnel evacuated expeditiously. Therefore, this revision removes the requirement for a control point on the site access road. In addition, the use of the North and South Beach evacuation routes were given equal weight in the procedure as possible evacuation routes. While these routes are possible to use, they would be difficult to use and therefore, should not be used except under extreme conditions. Therefore, the North and South Beach routes are discussed as an option under a note instead of placing them in the procedure steps as options with the same consideration of the site access road route.
Revision 8 Changes
- 1. Section 4.0 - Added a note on evacuating personnel at an Alert.
- 2. Step 5.1 e - Added a step on evacuation during a security threat.
- 3. Section 5.1.1 - Deleted the requirement for a control point on the site access road. Added the option for free release of site personnel if no release is in progress. Added a note on the use of North and South Beach routes. (This change is a clarification of the direction given to plant personnel during a security event.)
- 4. Section 5.1.2 - Deleted entire section.
- 5. Section 5.1.3 - Deleted entire section.
- 6. Section 5.2 - Deleted section. Moved Step b and c to Section 6.1.
- 7. Section 6.1 - Changed area codes for Allegan Service Center phone numbers and added steps from Section 5.2.

- a. Radiation levels reach 5 rem/hr in the Control Room.
- b. Area dose rate exceeds 100 mrem/hr or air concentration is greater than or equal to 40 DAC.
- c. Breathable oxygen is reduced to 19.5%.
- d. Area atmosphere reaches 20% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL).
4.3 If the Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operational Support Center (OSC) are not habitable, these facilities may be transferred to the Mechanical Maintenance Shop.

5.1 EVACUATION
- a. The TSC Health Physics Group Leader shall determine which of the three evacuation routes from the Palisades Plant shall be used after the decision to evacuate is made by the Site Emergency Director.
- b. The Health Physics Group Leader shall notify Security and the OSC Director of the route to be used.
- c. The OSC Health Physics Supervisor and Security shall assign personnel to
- .> the appropriate control point/monitoring stations. Each station shall be established prior to evacuation. Refer to Emergency Implementing Procedures El-8, "Onsite Radiological Monitoring," and El-9, "Offsite Radiological Monitoring." Refer to Attachment 2 for a map to the Allegan Service Center and Attachment 3 for a layout and usage plan for the facility.
No monitoring equipment is assigned to the facility. Monitoring equipment and personnel must be assigned prior to evacuating personnel to the Allegan Service Center.
- d. The order to evacuate by designated route shall be announced over the public address system.
- e. If a high security threat exists, the Site Emergency Director (in consultation with Security) should determine if personnel can be evacuated safely prior to the time the security event is projected to occur. If personnel can be
-evacuated prior to the projected security event, perform the evacuation unless constraints exist. Ifpersonnel cannot be evacuated prior to the event, announce to all personnel the need to stay inside and away from windows.
