5.0 TURNOVER OF COMMAND AND CONTROL I
USER ALERT INFORMATION USE PROCEDURE The activities covered by this procedure may be performed from memory.
5.1 The Shift Manager shall turn over command and control of the emergency as soon as possible above an Unusual Event. Turnover may occur before this time at the option of the Shift Manager or potential SED.
5.1.1 to this procedure provides a checklist of items that should be considered during the turnover process:.
5.2 At a minimum, turnover of command and control shall include assumption of responsibility for emergency classification, protective action recommendations, dose assessment, and notifications to offsite authorities. Attachment 2 of this procedure provides a flowchart of turnover of command and control during an emergency.
5.3 Turnover of command and control from the SED to the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Director shall occur as soon as the EOF has resources available to assume responsibility for emergency classification, protective action recommendations, dose assessment, and offsite notifications.

TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY DIRECTOR 6.0 RESPONSIBILITIES NOTE:
An asterisk (*) indicates a responsibility that shall not be delegated.
- 6.1 Declare the appropriate classification for the incident and ensure that actions listed in Attachment 1 of Emergency Implementing Procedure El-I, "Emergency Classification and Actions," are performed.
6.2 Direct the Technical Support Center per Emergency Implementing Procedure El-4.1, "Technical Support Center Activation."
- 6.3 Approve recommendations to local orstate agencies regarding protective actions for the public. Refer to Emergency Implementing Procedure El-6.13, "Protective Action Recommendations for Offsite Populations." Declaration of a General Emergency classification and the associated Protective Action Recommendation shall be provided personally by the SED/EOF Director (Attachment 2) to the State Director if the State EO is activated.
- 6.4 Approve decisions regarding site evacuation. Refer to Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-13, "Evacuation/Reassembly."
6.5 Request federal assistance, as necessary.
6.6 Ensure PA announcements regarding emergency conditions are made'at regular.
intervals or when significant changes occur.
6.7 Ensure that search and rescue is performed for personnel missing following accountability. Refer.to Emergency Imnplementing Procedure El-12.3, "Search and Rescue Team Responsibilities."
6.8 Authorize Potassium Iodine (KI) distribution per Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-8, "Onsite Radiological Monitoring," and Emergency Implementing Procedure El-9, "Offsite Radiological Monitoring."
6.9 Consider and then approve implementation of Severe Accident Guideline recommendations of the Operations Support Group.
6.10 Direct the reentry phase of emergency response per Emergency Implementing Procedure El-5, "Reentry."

The SED may also provide verbal approval to prevent/mitigate damage to vital equipment when such'activities are of immediate nature. In this instance, shall be completed as soon as practical.
Completed Attachment 1 should be forwarded to the OSC Health Physics.
Supervisor.
- 6.12 Authorize exceeding the I OCFR20 dose limits for emergency workers. Table 2-1 below should be used to establish emergency worker dose limits.
Table 2-1 Guidance on Dose Limits for Workers Performing Emergency Services Dose Limit?
Activity Condition (rem) 5 all 10 protecting valuable lower dose not practicable property 25 lifesavingb or protection of lower dose not practicable large populations
>25 lifesavingb or protection of only on a voluntary basis to large populations persons fully aware of the risks
'1 involved (see Attachment 1, Tables 2-2 and 2-3) a:
Sum of external effective dose equivalent and committed effective dose equivalent to nonpregnant adults from exposure and intake during an emergency situation. Workers performing'services during emergencies should limit dose to the lens of the' eye to three times the listed value, and doses to any other organ (including skin and body extremities) to ten times the listed value. A radiation worker's year to date normal occupational dose shall not impact the dose that an emergency worker can receive (Limits from United States Environmental Protection Agency Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents - EPA 400-R-92-001).
For immediate life saving, Health Physics qualified personnel (ie, Health Physics Technician, or Health Physics Supervisor) may make the decision to exceed 10CFR20 dose limits if prior notification is made to the OSC Health Physics Supervisor.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT Proc No El-2.1 EMERGENCY IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURE Revision 24 Page 5 of 5 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY DIRECTOR 6.13 After the emergency, the dose received during the emergency shall be added to the radiation worker's occupational dose to determine availability for additional exposure. Doses received during an emergency shall be deducted from the radiation worker's available dose for Planned Special Exposure. During the recovery
-phase of an emergency, consideration shall be given to the use of the Planned Special Exposure.

~Records generated by this procedure shall be filed in accordance with Palisades Administrative Procedure 10.46, "Plant Records." Refer tothe record matrix attached to Admin 10.46 for information needed to complete Record Indexing Form (Form 104).
8.0 SPECIAL REVIEWS The scope of this procedure does not include activities that require a 50.59 review per Palisades Administrative Procedure 10.41, "Procedure and Policy Processes."
Therefore, changes to this procedure do not require a 50.59 review.
