0103 Editorial correction to perform the following:

Change, where necessary, CEG Medical Director to CE Medical Staff notification.

Change, where necessary, CEG physician to CE physician/Medical Director Occupational Health &

Environmental Management.

• Add "Specific Hospital Plan" to step 6.3.A.1 .a.

• Change "New Hospital" to "Emergency Room Entrance" on Attachment 1, page 1 of 2.

• Change Health Physics to Radiation Protection due to Radiation Protection reorganization.

• Change references from PR-3-100 (where applicable) to CNG-PR-3.01-1000 to align Calvert Cliffs procedures with Fleet procedures.

RADIATION PROTECTION HOSPITAL ASSISTANCE ERPIP-730 Revision 00104 Page 5 of 11 1.0 PURPOSE To provide emergency response instructions to the Radiation Protection Personnel attending an injured contaminated person.

2.0 APPLICABILITY/SCOPE 2.1. Applicability This procedure provides instructions for the Radiation Protection Personnel supervising the care to an injured contaminated person transferred from Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant to Calvert Memorial Hospital.

2.2. Scope 2.2.1. CENG personnel are to assist the hospital staff with respect to radiological and contamination hazards. It is appropriate to make recommendations to reduce exposure and contamination spread as necessary. However, CENG personnel are not to interfere with medical treatment of the injured person.

2.2.2. This procedure is used for all cases of injured contaminated personnel taken to Calvert Memorial Hospital from Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant.

4.2. Initial Conditions 4.2.1. Injured contaminated person has been transferred to Calvert Memorial Hospital.

5.0 PRECAUTIONS 5.1. One concern of attending physicians is the use of blocking agents (for example, potassium iodide (KI) for iodine and Ethylenediaminetetraacidic Acid (EDTA)) for cesium. As guidance, Radiation Protection Personnel should recommend the following:

e The consideration of a blocking agent if the actual or potential exposure to a radionuclide is in excess of 20 % Annual Limit on Intake (ALl).

• The administration of a blocking agent ifthe actual or potential exposure is in excess of 50 % ALl.

0 ALl for 1-131 is 50 microcuries ALl for Cs-137 is 200 microcuries
