6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES This section identifies the specific measures to be taken for each class of emergency defined in Section 4.0 of this plan. The logic presented in this section is used as the basis for detailed EPI's which define the emergency actions to be taken for each emergency classification.
Emergency measures begin with the following:
- 1. The recognition and declaration of an emergency classification.
- 2. Notification of the applicable agencies.
- 3. Mobilization of the appropriate portions of the emergency organization.
The additional measures are organized into the following categories:
- 1. Assessment Actions.
- 2. Corrective Actions.
- 3. Protective Actions.
- 4. Aid to Affected Personnel.
These measures are described in the sections below for each emergency classification. Figure 6-1 indicates the individuals and organizations which may be notified as required within each emergency classification.
6.1 Activation of Emergency Organizations When it becomes apparent that a predetermined value or condition specified as an EAL in EPI-Al may be met or exceeded, implementation of the provisions of this plan is required.
The Perry Plant EALs for each emergency classification are defined in Section 4.0. The Shift Manager, in implementing this plan, initially classifies the emergency and notifies the local counties, the State of Ohio, the NRC, and the Perry Plant ERO.
The Perry Plant, in conjunction with the State of Ohio, Ashtabula, Geauga, and Lake County EMAs, has established initial notification and follow-up emergency messages to be sent from the plant in the event that an emergency condition is declared.
The initial notification will be sent to the OEMA and local counties within fifteen (15) minutes of the declaration of an emergency condition at the Perry Plant or upon the decision to issue or revise an offsite protective action recommendation (PAR) for the general public, using the Initial Notification form contained in the <EPI-Bl>. The Initial Notification Form includes information about the class of emergency, a brief description of the cause of the emergency, whether a release is taking or has taken place, potentially affected population and areas, and protective measures that may be necessary.
6- 1 Rev. 23
The Perry Plant will send a follow-up message to the OEMA and the local counties no later than one hour after the declaration or reclassification of an emergency event to keep the responsible agencies/organizations informed of the emergency condition. Subsequent follow-up messages will be sent on approximately an hourly basis, unless an alternative is agreed upon at the time by all parties concerned.
Follow-up messages will utilize the Follow-up Notification form, also provided in EPI-B1, and will contain the following information if it is known and appropriate:
- 1. Location of incident, and name and telephone number of caller.
- 2. Date/Time of incident.
- 3. Class of emergency.
- 4. Type of actual or projected abnormal release (airborne or liquid) and estimated duration/impact times.
- 5. Estimate of quantity of radioactive material released or being released and the points of releases.
- 6. Meteorological conditions wind speed, direction (from), stability class, precipitation, if any.
- 7. Actual or projected dose rates and integrated dose at the projected peak and at the Site Boundary 2, 5 and 10 miles, including sector(s) affected.
- 8. Estimate of any abnormal surface radioactive contamination in plant, onsite or offsite.
- 9. Perry Plant emergency response actions underway.
- 10. Recommended public protective actions.
- 11. Request for onsite support by offsite organizations.
- 12. Prognosis for event based on plant information.
If notifications are made using other than dedicated telephone lines, a
,separate verification response will be made by the notified persons/
agency to the notifier to verify authenticity.
6.1.1 Shift Manager/Unit Supervisor/Reactor Operator(s)
If emergency conditions (real or potential) arise, the Reactor Operator(s) and/or the Unit Supervisor will be initially made aware of the situation by alarms, instrument readings, reports, etc. The Reactor Operator(s) shall ensure that the Unit Supervisor and the Shift Manager are immediately informed of the situation.
6-2 Rev. 23
The Shift Manager, when informed of an emergency situation, is responsible for the assessment of the emergency in the following manner:
- 1. Determine the immediate actions that must be taken to ensure the safe and proper operation of the plant. The Shift Engineer is available to assist the Shift Manager on matters pertaining to nuclear safety.
- 2. If the situation requires implementation of the Perry Plant Emergency Plan, the Shift Manager shall classify the emergency and implement the appropriate event EPI which will direct the following:
- a. Ensure that the appropriate alarm, and the Exclusion Area Paging system if required, are sounded.
- b. Announce the location, type and classification of the emergency on the plant public address system.
- c. Ensure the following agencies and organizations are notified of the emergency conditions as shown on Figure 6-1.
- 1) Perry Plant ERO via the SAS Operator, or the on-call Emergency Response Unit (ERU) representative.
- 2) Lake County, Ashtabula County, Geauga County, and State of Ohio. These notifications are to be made within fifteen (15) minutes of the declaration or reclassification of the emergency condition or upon the decision to issue or revise an offsite protective action recommendation (PAR) for the general public, using the Initial Notification form contained in the
<EPI-Bl>.
- 3) NRC Headquarters Operations Center, White Flint, Maryland. This notification is to be made as soon as possible upon completion of the notifications to the State of Ohio, and the local counties, but must be made within one (1) hour of the declaration or reclassification of an emergency.
- 3. Due to the numerous responsibilities assigned to the Shift Manager at the onset of an emergency, he shall perform the following actions in the priority listed below:
- a. Ensure the safe operation of the plant.
- b. Ensure that immediate notification requirements are met.
- c. Make appropriate protective action recommendations to offsite authorities.
- d. Dispatch, in the event of radiological emergencies, Health Physics personnel to locations onsite.
6- 3 Rev. 23
- e. Perform additional emergency actions as time and conditions permit.
6.1.2 Local Counties Upon receipt of notification from the Perry Plant, each of the three county Sheriff's Dispatchers will initiate their notification procedures. The Counties will notify their response personnel based on the classification of the emergency. The County Commissioners and the EMA/DES Directors for each county will be notified by the Sheriff's Dispatchers, who begin the notifications. The EOCs will complete these notifications.
The notifications by the counties of their response agencies will be by radio and/or telephone depending on each agency's communications capabilities. Further detail regarding these notifications is contained in each local County Radiological Emergency Response Plan.
The local counties will also notify the general public as required by their respective response plans. The primary means of public notification is through the use of the Prompt Alert Siren System, discussed in Section 7.4. These sirens alert the public to turn to the Emergency Alert System (EAS) for further information. It is expected that this method will notify essentially 100 percent of the population within 10 miles of the Perry Plant within 15 minutes after the decision is made to implement a protective action by the appropriate government officials.
Boaters on Lake Erie will be notified by either the United States Coast Guard (USCG), Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in accordance with the appropriate State and local county response plans.
Information available to the general public, which describes actions to be taken in the event of an emergency at the Perry Plant, are discussed in Section 8.6.
6.1.3 State of Ohio Upon receipt of notification of an emergency at the Perry Plant, the OEMA will notify the appropriate officials and agencies in the State of Ohio, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Province of Ontario, as well as other organizations as described in the State Emergency Plan. The State of Ohio will also notify the USCG of an emergency at the Perry Plant involving USCG territorial jurisdiction.
6.1.4 Federal Agencies Upon receipt of notification of an emergency at the Perry Plant, the NRC will notify other federal agencies when and if deemed appropriate. Federal agencies may also be contacted by their state counterparts should it become necessary.
If it becomes necessary for the Perry Plant to request federal assistance, the Emergency Coordinator will make this request.
6-4 Rev. 23
6.2 Assessment Actions Effective coordination and direction of all elements of the emergency organization requires continuing accident assessment throughout an emergency situation. Each emergency class shall invoke similar assessment methods; however, each classification imposes a different magnitude of assessment effort. In the following sections, assessment actions to be taken for each emergency classification are outlined.
During an emergency, conditions will be periodically evaluated to determine if the emergency should be reclassified.
6.2.1 Assessment Actions for Unusual Events The detection of an Unusual Event arises from either exceeding a specific emergency action level for this case, or as a result of alarms, instrument readings, recognition through experience, or any combination thereof. The continuing assessment action to be performed for this classification of emergency shall be in accordance with the EPIs. This consists of monitoring Control Room and other plant instrumentation and status indication until the situation is resolved. The Shift Engineer assists the Shift Manager by providing independent assessments and technical advice. If a fire is the reason for the declaration of an Unusual Event, the Shift Manager will direct the SAS to request offsite fire fighting support.
6.2.2 Assessment Actions for Alerts Once an accident has been classified as an Alert, assessment actions shall be performed in accordance with the EPIs for an Alert. These actions include:
- 1. Increased surveillance of in-plant instrumentation.
- 2. If possible, the dispatching of shift personnel to the identified problem area for confirmation and visual assessment of the problem.
- 3. The mobilization of two RMTs to monitor for possible releases.
- 4. If a radiological accident is occurring, surveillance of the in-plant instrumentation necessary to obtain meteorological and radiological data required for calculation or estimating projected doses. This dose assessment activity continues until termination of the emergency in order that the updating of initial assessments may be provided to all concerned offsite agencies by the acting Emergency Coordinator. EPIs are provided to allow a rapid, consistent projection of doses.
6-5 Rev. 23
6.2.3 Assessment Actions for Site Area Emergencies The assessment actions for the Site Area Emergency classification are similar to the actions for an Alert; however, due to the increased magnitude of the possible release of radioactive material, a significantly larger assessment activity shall occur.
Specifically:
- 1. An increased amount of plant instrumentation shall be monitored.
In particular, indications of core status shall be monitored.
- 2. Radiological monitoring efforts shall be greatly increased. An additional RMT shall be mobilized to obtain air samples and perform beta-gamma field measurements. The collection of environmental media for assessment of material, transport and deposition shall be performed, as necessary, by qualified FirstEnergy personnel.
- 3. Dose assessment activities shall be conducted more frequently, with an increased emphasis on dose projection for use as a factor in determining the necessity for protective actions.
Radiological and meteorological instrumentation readings shall be used to project the dose rate at predetermined distances from the plant, and to determine the integrated dose received. In reporting the dose projections to offsite agencies, the dose rate, dose, and basis for the time used for the dose estimate should be provided. Any confirmation of dose rates by RMTs shall be reflected in reporting and/or revising dose estimate information provided to offsite agencies.
Dose projections shall be considered by plant personnel in relation to the EPA PAGs. Reporting of assessments to offsite authorities shall include the relationship of dose to these guidelines. EPIs are provided for recording all pertinent information.
6.2.4 Assessment Actions for General Emergencies Assessment actions for the General Emergency classification are to be the same as for the Site Area Emergency with some possible shift of emphasis to greater offsite monitoring efforts and dose projection efforts extending to distances much further from the plant.
Additionally, since the projected doses are likely to be much closer to the EPA PAGs, greater emphasis is placed on the assessment of release duration.
6- 6 Rev. 23
6.2.5 State and County Accident Assessment The OEMA may send field monitoring teams, equipped with all necessary field monitoring equipment, to the local area upon declaration of an Alert. Upon arrival, teams will report to a staging area designated by OEMA. Monitoring teams will then be deployed to designated field monitor locations. Additionally, Lake County Health District deploys two field monitoring teams; these teams are utilized until the OEMA teams arrive and also supplement the State teams. The Lake County teams are equipped to perform plume monitoring, including air sampling.
They will report these readings, by radio, to the State EOC in Columbus, the EOF, and the local County EOC. The readings from the Lake County teams are reported to the Lake County EOC, which relays this data to the State EOC and EOF.
Based on OEMA and Lake County monitoring as well as data from the Perry Plant, the State EOC will assess the hazard consequences of the radiological releases from the Perry Plant. This assessment will guide the decision making group at the Ohio EOC on the protective actions to be recommended to the local Counties.
6.3 Onsite Personnel Accountability <S00554>
In the event of a Site Area or General Emergency, or in the judgment of the acting Emergency Coordinator based on emergency conditions, site personnel will be instructed to begin personnel accountability. This notification will be performed essentially immediately using the Plant Public Address (PA) System and Exclusion Area Paging System as described in Section 7.2.1.2. To accomplish personnel accountability within 30 minutes, all personnel without an emergency response function will be directed to exit the site areas via normal exit routes and exit procedures. <SO0560>
For the Protected Area, a list will be provided by the Fire/Security Computer of the personnel remaining within the area. This list will be compared to lists of personnel within emergency facilities to ascertain the names of missing individuals. If personnel are missing, security will begin searching at the individuals last known location.
Outside the Protected Area, personnel will be directed to exit the site by means of the Plant PA System and Exclusion Area Paging System.
Security will then perform a sweep of controlled areas to locate any individuals who have not yet evacuated.
At the Training and Education Center (TEC), the EOF Manager using the EOF staff will establish access control and then search the building, removing personnel who are not assembling in support of the TSC, OSC or EOF staffing.
6-7 Rev. 23
Personnel accountability will be performed concurrently with the evacuation of personnel from the Perry Plant site. Monitoring of plant personnel exiting the Protected Area will be accomplished at the Primary Access Control Point, and appropriate decontamination measures implemented as needed per Section 6.5.
If a significant release of radioactive materials occurs onsite, personnel evacuating the Perry Plant site may be directed to monitoring and decontamination centers located outside the 10-mile EPZ. These centers are activated and staffed in accordance with their respective county response plans. Figure 6-2 illustrates the location of these centers in relation to the Perry Plant. Specific directions to the centers are contained in EPI-B5, posted in specific site locations, and provided as part of Plant Access Training (PAT).
6.4 Offsite Protective Actions A wide range of protective actions for the public have been developed including evacuation, sheltering, administering of potassium iodide (KI) and placing the EPZ on heightened awareness. Possible protective action recommendations made by the Perry Plant may range from no action necessary, to the evacuation of the entire 10-mile EPZ. The appropriate protective action recommendation (PAR) is determined using a decision flowchart per <EPI-B8>. The flowchart provides protective actions based on plant status, EPA protective action guidelines (PAGs), and short duration, controlled releases as described below.
6.4.1 Protective Action Based on Plant Status <S00541>
In addition to the PAGs established by the EPA, the following plant status PAGs have been established. These PAGs are based on the potential for major radioactive material releases from the Perry Plant rather than the projected dose approach used by the EPA's PAGs per the guidance set forth in Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP.
Implicit in these recommendations is that assessment activities will continue to determine what additional protective actions should be recommended for the entire EPZ.
The minimum plant status PAGs, as applicable, for Subareas 1 through 3 and Lake Erie (as identified on Figure 2-1), are as follows:
WIND DIRECTION - "FROM" AFFECTED SUBAREAS (in degrees) 102 to 213 EVACUATE 1 & Lake 214 to 281 EVACUATE 1, 2 & Lake 282 to 11 EVACUATE 1, 2 & 3 12 to 33 EVACUATE 1 & 3 34 to 101 EVACUATE 1, 3 & Lake Administering KI to the general public and placing the remainder of the EPZ on heightened awareness will also be recommended. These protective action recommendations assume that conditions listed in Table 4-1 for a General Emergency have been met or exceeded.
6-8 Rev. 23
The following table summarizes these additional protective actions above the minimum plant status PAGs, which may be recommended based on a projected or actual dose of > 1 rem TEDE or > 5 rem CDEct from 5 to 10 miles:
WIND DIRECTION - 'FROM" AFFECTED SUBAREAS (in degrees) 102 to 213 EVACUATE 1 & Lake 214 to 258 EVACUATE 1, 2, 4 & Lake 259 to 281 EVACUATE 1, 2, 4, 5 & Lake 282 to 304 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 304 to 326 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 327 to 348 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6 349 to 11 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 & 7 12 to 33 EVACUATE 1, 3, 6 & 7 34 to 56 EVACUATE 1, 3, 6, 7 & Lake 57 to 101 EVACUATE 1, 3, 7 & Lake Administering KI to the general public and placing the remainder of the EPZ on heightened awareness will also be recommended.
Recommended protective actions may be extended or modified depending on population distribution, meteorological conditions, and condition of roads and major traffic ways, following discussions with County and State officials.
6.4.2 Protective Actions based on a Short Duration, Controlled Release A protective action of sheltering will be recommended during a General Emergency for a short duration, controlled release of radioactive material from containment.
The following conditions will result in the recommendation to shelter a 2 mile radius and 5 miles downwind, administer KI to the general public, place the general public on heightened awaredness of the remainder of the EPZ and evacuate Lake Erie:
- 1. A controlled release from containment will last less than one or equal to one hour, AND
- 2. Evacuation has not been initiated; AND
- 3. The time until the release begins is less than Ya the fastest evacuation time according to the latest Evacuation Time Estimated study; AND
- 4. Dose projections at the site boundary are greater than or equal to 1 Rem TEDE or greater than or equal to 5 Rem child thyroid.
The following table summarizes these protective actions in terms of subareas:
WIND DIRECTION - "FROM' AFFECTED SUBAREAS (in degrees) 102 to 213 SHELTER 1 & EVACUATE Lake 214 to 281 SHELTER 1, 2 & EVACUATE Lake 282 to 11 SHELTER 1, 2 & 3 12 to 33 SHELTER 1 & 3 34 to 101 SHELTER 1, 3 & EVACUATE Lake 6-9 Re Lv. 23
6.4.3 Accident Assessment and Decision-Making The responsibility for actions to protect persons in offsite areas rests with the State of Ohio and the local government officials. The chain of events which precede protective actions for the general public are described here and illustrated in Figure 6-3. Information is gathered by the EOF Plant Operations Advisor and the EOF Offsite Radiation Advisor to begin formulating PARs. The Plant uses the Integrated Computer System (ICS), described in Section 7.5.1 to obtain information concerning the status of plant systems and to estimate the duration of any release of radioactive material. The Plant Operations Advisor can also contact the TSC to obtain further assistance and assessment information. This estimate of release duration is then provided to the Offsite Radiation Advisor for use in dose projection calculations.
The Offsite Radiation Advisor will be simultaneously using the Computer-Aided Dose Assessment Program (CADAP) software program, described in Section 7.5.10, to obtain information concerning the present meteorological conditions, release rates from the effluent monitors, and other applicable data source to perform offsite dose projections. In addition, the Offsite Radiation Advisor will utilize the field information obtained by the RMTs to verify an estimated offsite dose or dose rate projections which may have been made.
In the event that CADAP is unavailable, the Offsite Radiation Advisor can obtain meteorological and release information directly from the ICS or locally at the on-site meteorological tower. The Offsite Radiation Advisor will also have a manual method for performing dose projections. This manual method, described in Section 7.5.10.2, provides several levels of assumptions for available data and allows projections to be performed with minimal information if necessary.
Evacuation time estimates (ETE) for areas near the Perry Plant have been generated and are contained in PSI-0013, "Control and Revision of the Evacuation Time Estimates for Areas Near the Perry Plant."
The ETE was developed in accordance with Appendix 4 of NUREG-0654 and provides evacuation estimates for various areas, times, and weather conditions. These estimates represent the times required for completing the following actions:
- 1. public notification,
- 2. preparation and mobilization, and
- 3. actual movement out of the 10-mile EPZ (i.e., on-road travel time including delays associated with vehicle queuing).
Using the offsite dose projection, the evacuation time estimates, representative shielding factors, known or estimated isotopic compositions and projected exposure periods, the Offsite Radiation Advisor will determine an estimated dose for both Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) - child thyroid exposures. These doses will then be compared to the EPA-400 protective action guidelines (PAGs) to arrive at a PAR. All recommendations will then be reviewed and approved by the Emergency 6- 10 Rev. 23
Coordinator. The recommendation will be transmitted to the EMAs in each of the local Counties and State via the dedicated telephone system.
In the event that immediate offsite dose projections are required, they can be performed by the on-shift chemistry technician(s).
During this initial phase, the Shift Manager, in his capacity of Emergency Coordinator, will evaluate the available information and recommend appropriate protective actions to the offsite agencies in accordance with Section 6.4.1.
In parallel with the activities at the Perry Plant, the State of Ohio will also develop PARs. The OEMA and Department of Health will establish a Radiological Assessment Team at the State EOC to develop a recommendation. The State will deploy field monitoring teams to the vicinity of the Perry Plant to collect field monitoring data and will use a computerized link to the Perry Plant to obtain site meteorological and release data. Should this data link be unavailable, the State can also obtain meteorological and release information directly from the Perry Plant via the dedicated communications line.
The State Radiological'Assessment Team will develop a protective action recommendation using meteorological and release information similar to that used by the Offsite Radiation Advisor. The State PAR will be reviewed and approved by the Office of the Governor per the State's response plan prior to being transmitted to the three counties for consideration.
In accordance with the emergency plans for each of the three counties, their respective county EROs will receive the recommendations from the Perry Plant and the State of Ohio. The County EOC Executive Groups will coordinate with one another via a telephone conference network and make a final decision on protective actions to be implemented for the general public. Lake County will develop the appropriate Emergency Alert System (EAS) message and will coordinate the transmission and broadcasting of the appropriate message over EAS.
While the EAS message is being sent, Lake County will activate the Prompt Alerting System for the entire EPZ. This activation of the Prompt Alerting System is a signal to the public that an important message is being broadcast by EAS. By procedure, the County EOCs will implement the Radiological Emergency Response Plans and applicable SOPs to carry out the agreed upon protective actions.
In the event of a rapidly escalating emergency, the county plans and procedures direct the dispatcher to attempt to contact a higher authority to make the protective action decision. If a higher authority cannot be contacted, the dispatcher has the authority and responsibility to activate the Prompt Alerting System and to place a message on EAS implementing a protective action recommendation.
<SO0539>
6- 11 Rev. 23
Detailed discussions of the specific actions to be taken by the State and local county agencies are contained in the respective county Radiological Emergency Response Plans and the corresponding SOPs.
6.4.4 Ingestion Pathway Control Measures Provisions are made for implementing protective measures against excessive radiation exposure within the 10-mile EPZ due to direct radiation exposure and inhalation of radioactive material from the plume, in addition to exposure via the food ingestion pathway. The ingestion pathway control measures extend to a 50-mile radius.
Table 6-2 provides guidance for the control of water and agricultural products within the Ingestion EPZ.
State and local agencies will implement ingestion exposure control measures in accordance with these tables, based on field monitoring data and/or projected surface contamination concentrations.
Interface with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) for ingestion pathway exposure control measures is provided by the State of Ohio.
6.5 Contamination Control Measures <S00560>
This section describes provisions for preventing or minimizing direct exposure to radiation or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other surfaces.
6.5.1 Site Areas Access to the site area is controlled. In-plant contamination control is exercised in accordance with PAPs and Health Physics Instructions (HPIs) . The methods include isolation of contaminated areas to the extent feasible. Necessary occupancy of contaminated areas requires the use of appropriate protective equipment. If contamination is suspected outside the Protected Area, a personnel monitoring control point will be established at the EOF entrance.
Contamination control measures for equipment, tools, and other materials will be implemented in accordance with the Radiation Protection Program procedures and instructions. These measures may include decontamination, marking for controlled use, or disposal as radioactive waste.
6.5.2 Offsite Areas Measures available to minimize radiation exposure due to offsite surface contamination include evacuation, sheltering, or relocation of the affected population, and control of drinking water and agricultural products. Federal government guidance for implementation of these measures is contained in Tables 6-1 and 6-2.
The Emergency Coordinator will provide projected and/or measured offsite surface contamination concentrations to Federal, State and local agencies based on the Perry Plant emergency environmental monitoring activities. These sampling activities, as well as the transfer of analyses results, will be coordinated with Federal and State monitoring efforts.
6-12 Rev. 23
6.5.3 Decontamination <S00564>
Individuals are considered contaminated when any area of the body 2
surface is contaminated to levels of 1000 dpm/100 cm beta-gamma 2 Personnel found to be and/or 100 dpm/100 cm alpha or greater.
contaminated will undergo decontamination by Health Physics personnel or other qualified personnel, in accordance with approved plant instructions. It is preferred that personnel decontamination be performed by trained HP personnel, however, other Perry Plant personnel are instructed in both decontamination and first aid procedures.
Measures will be taken to prevent the spread of contamination. Such measures may include isolating the affected areas, placing contaminated personnel in "clean" clothing before moving them, and decontamination of affected personnel, their clothing and equipment prior to release. Contaminated equipment and items generated as a result of the accident or decontamination process will be disposed of as radioactive waste.
Provisions have been made to ensure contaminated and injured personnel receive specialized medical treatment if necessary. Refer to Section 5.3.3 for contamination control and decontamination efforts associated with a radiologically contaminated injury. If contaminated injured personnel must be transported, measures shall be taken to prevent the spread of contamination. Such measures may include placing the affected person in "clean' protective clothing, wrapping in blankets or plastic sheeting, and alerting the organizations which provide transportation and treatment.
6.6 Emergency Personnel Dose Control Emergency measures may warrant the acceptance of above-normal radiation exposures. Saving a life, measures to circumvent substantial exposures to population groups, or even preservation of a valuable installation, may all be sufficient cause for above normal exposures.
The Perry Plant's Radiation Protection Program provides procedural guidance for increased administrative dose control level authorization during emergency circumstances, and provides specific emergency exposure guides for the following situations:
- 1. Emergency conditions where immediate action is required to prevent destruction of equipment.
- 2. Emergency conditions where immediate action is required for life-saving actions.
While specific exposure limits can be difficult to specify under emergency circumstances, exposures should be commensurate with the significance of the objective and held to the lowest practicable level that the emergency permits.
The TSC Operations Manager, or the Operations Shift Manager, acting as Emergency Coordinator, if the TSC is not activated, is responsible for authorizing plant personnel to receive doses in excess of 10CFR20 limits 6-13 Rev. 23
under emergency situations. The procedural guidance provides for permitting onsite volunteers to receive radiation exposures in the course of carrying out lifesaving and other emergency activities.
Dose rates during emergency situations will be evaluated utilizing normally available survey equipment. Special portable survey instruments with an extended range to 1000 rem/hr are also available for conditions involving abnormally high radiation fields.
Respiratory equipment is available for issuance by Radiation Protection (RP) Section during emergency conditions. This equipment includes full-faced particulate and iodine respirators, and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Emergency dosimetry, stored in emergency response facilities, will be issued, accounted for, and maintained in accordance with EPIs. Each emergency worker will be issued a permanent recording dosimeter and a direct reading dosimeter prior to either: (1) entering a RRA, (2) leaving or if located outside of the Control Room, TSC or EOF upon the declaration of a Site Area Emergency, or (3) as conditions warrant.
The emergency personnel dosimetry program includes the capability to determine individual exposure on a 24-hour per day basis. <S00566>
Conduct of normal operations and maintenance inside the RRA requires utilization of a radiological work permit (RWP). During emergency conditions, provisions have been made to direct radiological surveillance and perform emergency work without a RWP. Radiological conditions and other applicable information will be documented as soon as possible after the emergency.
6.7 Thyroid Blocking 6.7.1 Members of the General Public Upon declaration of a General Emergency, the Emergency Coordinator will recommend to the State and Counties that KI be issued to the General Public in accordance with the State Plan.
6.7.2 Perry Emergency Workers A KI dose of 130 mg per day (one tablet) will be recommended for Perry Plant ERO personnel, who have no known thyroid problems or iodine allergies, if the potential exists for a radioiodine exposure to the thyroid at the following levels:
- 1. Radiation Monitoring Teams (RMTs) - 10 Rem Committed Dose Equivalent to Adult Thyroid
- 2. ERO personnel onsite - Derived Airborne Concentration (DAC) of 4000 (Corresponds to 10 Rem CDE Adult Thyroid)
Approval for the issuance of KI and its distribution shall be in accordance with EPI-B8.
A sufficient quantity of KI to allow administration to onsite emergency workers for a period of ten days will be available.

Figure 6-4 provides theoretical curves of gross gamma dose rate versus time for a range of potential source terms. To determine the meaning of the measured dose rates:
- 1. Determine the Time after reactor shutdown.
- 2. Locate the radiation monitor Dose Rate Reading on the graph for the time after shutdown.
- 3. Determine the percent fuel inventory released to the containment air corresponding to the measured dose rate by taking the ratio of the measured dose rate to the dose rate given on one of the curves for a known percent inventory, i.e., interpolate between curves.
- 4. Relate the percent fuel inventory released, as calculated in the previous step, to the approximate source and damage estimate.

(1) The curves represent direct readings from the Containment Post Accident Radiation Monitors (D19-K100 & K200), at elevation 689 feet, inside containment.
(2) The curves account for the finite containment volume seen by the detector but do not account for any physical or shielding characteristics or calibration uncertainties of the radiation monitor.
(3) The curves assume that only airborne noble gases and iodines are significant. Sprays (if used) would make the iodine and any particulate contribution insignificant. However, particulate plateout on surfaces and direct shine doses from components may make the readings unreliable.
(4) 100% Fuel Inventory = 100% Noble Gas, 25% Iodine The calculation of monitor response did not include any particulates since the noble gases and iodine are the most significant contributors to dose rate in the containment.

PSI- 0013 Rev.: 2 Attachment a Page: 44 6.3 Evacuation Times for Response Areas Predicted 100 percent evacuation times to evacuate different response areas for each scenario are summarized in Table 6-2. The results show that the evacuation of Sub-Areas 6 and 7 generally controls the evacuation times for the entire EPZ, as expected, since Sub-Area 7 contains the largest population.
For the Response Areas within 5 miles of PNPP, the primary factor that controls predicted evacuation times is competing local traffic demands on the capacity of US
- 20. Evacuation times for the 2-mile response area (Sub-Area 1) are very short.
Evacuation of Sub-Area 2 controls evacuation times for the 5-mile response area (Sub-Areas 1, 2, and 3). The Winter Day scenarios generally have the longest evacuation times for Response Areas within 5 miles. For these Sub-Areas, population and vehicle demand are highest for the Winter Day scenarios, as shown in Table 3-5.
For the Winter Night scenarios, the evacuation times for the EPZ east Response Area (Sub-Areas 1, 2, 4, 5) are approximately the same as evacuation times for the EPZ west Response Area (Sub-Areas 1, 3, 6, 7). This reflects the time required to evacuate Geneva City (with competing demand from the population evacuating to the east along US 20 and O 84 from Madison and Perry Townships).

- 6. Added the definition of a release.
EPI-B8 Page: iii Rev.: 11 SCOPE OF REVISION (Cont.):
Rev. 11 - 7. Divided the first bullet in Section 5.1.1.1 into two bullets for clarity. The first bullet was revised to clarify how to proceed using the PAR flowchart if dose projections are not available. The second bullet was clarified to ensure an initial notification form is used if the PAR is revised. These changes were also carried through to Section 5.1.3.1.
- 8. The note in Section 5.3.2 was deleted because it contained incorrect information. The correct information, regarding the control and movement of the radiation monitoring teams, is located in EPI-B3. (CA 04-05922-01)
- 9. Section 5.2.1.1 was revised to clarify the dose for issuing potassium iodide.
- 10. The conditions under which sheltering should be recommended for the general public were added to the PAR flowchart in Attachment 1 and associated steps in the procedure. This change is being made in response to industry experience and the issuance of Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2004-13 issued August 2, 2004. (CA 04-02593-01, 04-02593-03)
- 11. Added commitment B00800 to the procedure and underlined it to denote that the entire procedure meets the commitment.
(CA 04-05417-02)
- 12. Changed Emergency Planning Unit (EPU) to Emergency Response Unit (ERU) due to organizational change.
EPI-B8 Page: 1 Rev.: 11 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS AND GUIDES 1.0 PURPOSE This instruction provides guidelines for the formulation of protective actions for the plume exposure pathway to be recommended to State of Ohio and local county Emergency Management Agencies in the event of an emergency involving the possibility of an abnormal release of radioactive material(s) at the Perry Plant.
This procedure outlines several different protective actions that can be recommended for the general public including sheltering, evacuation, administering potassium iodide (KI), and heightened awareness.
Development of ingestion pathway protective action recommendations will be the responsibility of the State of Ohio and Federal response agencies.
The Perry Plant will assist in the collection and analysis of environmental samples using <EPI-BlO>.

H00022 P00005 P00029 P00046 H00024 P00011 P00037 B00800 3.0 DEFINITIONS 3.1 Protective Actions Those emergency measures taken before or after an uncontrolled release of radioactive material has occurred to prevent or minimize radiological exposure to persons that would likely be exposed, if the actions were not taken.
3.2 Protective Action Guides (PAGs)
Projected radiological doses to individuals in the general population that warrant Protective Actions following a release of radioactive material. Protective Actions would be warranted provided the reduction in individual dose is not offset by excessive risks to individual safety in taking the Protective Action. The Protective Action Guide (PAG) does not include the dose that has unavoidably occurred prior to the assessment.
3.3 Deep Dose Equivalent (DDE)
The dose equivalent measured at a tissue depth of 1 cm (1000 mg/cm 2 )
DDE is the external component of TEDE.
3.4 Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE)
The dose equivalent to organs or tissues of reference that will be received from an intake of radioactive material by an individual during the 50 year period following the uptake.
EPI-B8 Page: 3 Rev.: 11 3.5 Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE)
The sum of the products of the weighting factors applicable to each of the body organs or tissues and the CDE to these organs or tissues. CEDE is the internal dose component of TEDE.
3.6 Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE)
Sum dose of DDE (external dose) and CEDE (internal dose).
3.7 Derived Air Concentration (DAC)
The concentration of a given radionuclide in air which, if breathed by the reference man for a working year of 2,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> under conditions of light work (inhalation rate of 1.2 cubic meters of air per hour), results in an intake of one Annual Limit on Intake (ALI).
3.8 Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS)
REAC/TS is operated by the Medical Sciences Division of the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). REAC/TS provides 24-hour direct or consultative assistance with medical and health physics problems associated with radiation accidents in local, national, and international incidents.
3.9 Subarea 1 Subarea 1 is defined as the area within two miles from the Perry Nuclear Power Plant which includes two miles of Lake Erie.
3.10 "Lake" Evacuation Subarea If an affected area evacuation includes "Lake', it means that Lake Erie should be evacuated out to 10 miles.
3.11 General Emergency Default PARs General Emergency Default Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) are based on the potential for a major release of radioactive material from the Perry plant per the guidance set forth in Supplement 3 to
<NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-l>. The intent of these PARs is to provide a means of promptly implementing a minimum evacuation for the general public within 5 miles downwind of the Perry Plant until a detailed assessment can be performed. Implicit in these PARs is that assessment actions will continue to determine what additional protective actions are required to ensure the health and safety of the general public.
EPI-B8 Page: 4 Rev.: 11 3.12 Sheltering PAR A sheltering PAR is recommended when a controlled release via containment vent is occurring or expected to start within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> and will last less than or equal to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> AND the projected dose to the public is greater than or equal to 1 rem TEDE or 5 rem CDE Child Thyroid at the site boundary. The intent of the sheltering PAR is to minimize the dose to the public (i.e., the dose received during sheltering will be less than or equal to the dose received when evacuating through the plume) and position the public to receive additional instructions.
3.13 KI for the General Public Recommending the use of KI for the general public is the responsibility of the State of Ohio Department of Health. The Perry Plant will recommend administering KI in accordance with the State procedures upon a declaration of a General Emergency.
