WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 2.0 Department of Public Safety raffic Control Personnel Checklist 1.0 General Information 1.1 Traffic Control Points (TCPs) may be established at an "Alert" Emergency Classification Level or higher (see Section 3.0).
1.2 The purpose of Traffic Control Points is to assist in the rapid and orderly movement of vehicular traffic from risk areas.
Note: After evacuation is complete, the perimeter of evacuated area will be secured. These locations, staff by law enforcement personnel, are referred to as Access Control Points (ACPs). Some of these locations may be the same as traffic control points. The only difference is timing and function. Access control points are manned after evacuation is complete to discourage traffic from entering risk areas which may be subject to evacuation or sheltering protective actions.
1.3 Section 4.0 below provides an example as to how to control the flow of traffic.
1.3.1 In controlling access to restricted areas, keep traffic moving onto diversionary routes.
1.3.2 Discourage the public from stopping to ask questions or to gain entry.
Expediting traffic flow is the highest priority.
1.3.3 Advise questioners to tune to their car radios for emergency instructions.
1.4 Advise those insisting on entry that they may be entering a potential radiation area which could be hazardous to their health and that they enter at their own risk. DO NOT USE OR THREATEN TO USE FORCE TO PREVENT ENTRY.
1.5 For your use and information, the enclosed Public Information Brochure identifies Emergency Alert system (EAS) radio stations, evacuation routes and reception center locations.
1.6 DO NOT SMOKE, EAT OR DRINK while on assignment during a radiological emergency.
1.7 Take Potassium Iodide (KI) as instructed by your supervisor 1.8 After you complete your assignment, proceed to the Emergency Worker Personnel Monitoring Center (PMC) at Westchester County Des Support Services building, Walker Road, Grasslands Reservation, Valhalla, New York.
1.9 Return dOSimetry, KI and Radiation Exposure Card at the PMC.

Notification of Unusual Event - Events have occurred or are occurring that indicate a potential degradation of the level of the safety of the plant. No releases of radioactive materials potentially requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
Alert - Events are in progress which involves actual or potential substantial reduction of the level of safety of the plant. Any releases of radioactive materials are expected to be limited to small fractions of federal exposure limits and confined to the immediate area of the plant.
Site Area Emergency - An event has occurred which involves actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. Releases of radioactive materials are not expected to exceed federal limits except near the plant boundary.
General Emergency - An event has occurred involving actual or imminent core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases of radioactive materials can reasonably be expected to exceed federal exposure limits for more than the immediate plant area.

WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative 1.0 Purpose This procedure provides guidance for the Department of Health Commissioner and Health Emergency Management Staff assigned to the Westchester County EOC to implement the Westchester County Radiological Emergency Plan for the Indian Point Energy Center.
2.0 Responsibilities 2.1 County Commissioner of Health - The County Commissioner of Health is responsible for:
- Public Health Assistancellnformation.
- Accident (Dose) Assessment of offsite consequences of a radiological emergency and to coordinate those monitoring activities.
- Protective Response Evaluation to determine the proper protective actions to be implemented based on protective action guides and dose projections. Additionally the Commissioner or designated Physician will authorize the consumption of Iodine Prophylaxis (KI) at the General Emergency ECl, for all emergency workers and the general public within the impacted area.
- Radiological Exposure Control to minimize radiological exposure of emergency workers and the general public. The Commissioner shall also authorize Emergency Worker exposure in excess of EPA PAG's when necessary.
- Training to assure the appropriate Health Department Staff is adequately trained to support accident assessment, protective response evaluation, radiological exposure control and field monitoring team activities.
REV 0.0 (draft) 3 08/06110
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative 3.0 Concept of Operations 3.1 When notified of an Unusual Event. the Commissioner of Health and Health Emergency Management Staff will monitor the situation; review procedures and increase level of readiness in the event of incident escalation. No further actions would normally be required unless directed by the County Executive.
3.2 When notified of an Alert or higher emergency classification, County Health Department staff will report to their assigned positions the County EOC and deploy Field Monitoring Teams.
3.3 Field monitoring teams are deployed as early as an Alert in order to establish background levels and to provide confidence that no recordable levels of radiation are being measured offsite as a result of the incident at the plant.
3.4 A County Liaison to the Entergy Emergency Operations Facility will also be dispatched at this time. This liaison will be a Health Department employee.
3.5 The Westchester County Commissioner of Health and Health Emergency Management Staff will operate from the county EOC to assure accident assessment, protective response evaluation and radiological exposure control are effectively implemented to protect the safety and health of the general public and emergency workers. The Commissioner of Health will authorize Emergency Worker exposure in excess of EPA PAG's when necessary in accordance with Attachments 2 and 3.
3.6 At the Site Area Emergency the Commissioner of Health or designated Physician will prepare for the Isolation of Ingestion Pathways and Sources (i.e.
food and water) in support of New York State Department of Health's actions to prevent individuals from ingesting contaminated materials.
3.7 Health Department personnel will also staff key positions at reception centers in order to coordinate radiation monitoring and, if necessary, decontamination.
Some reception centers may be activated as early as a Site Area Emergency.
REV 0.0 (draft) 4 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative 3.8 At the General Emergency, the Commissioner of Health will authorize the consumption of Iodine Prophylaxis (KI) for all emergency workers in the ten mile EPZ and the general public within the impacted area in accordance with, Attachment 1 - State KI Policy_ Other protective actions are addressed in the following section.
4.0 Protective Action Decision Making 4.1 In the case of an atmospheric release, the protective actions which may be required are those which protect the population from inhalation of radioactive materials in the plume, from exposure to gamma radiation from the plume, and from short-term exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground. For releases which contain a large amount of pure beta emitters, it may also be necessary to consider protective action to avoid doses to the skin from radioactive material deposited on the skin and clothing. For releases that contain radioiodine, protective actions to avoid inhalation leading to doses to the thyroid may be necessary.
4.2 The early phase of a nuclear incident can be divided into two periods: (a) the period immediately following the start of an incident (possibly before a release has occurred), when little or no environmental data are available to confirm the magnitude of releases, and (b) the subsequent period, when environmental or source term measurements permit a more accurate assessment of projected doses.
4.3 During the first period, speed in completing such actions as evacuating, sheltering-in-place, and controlling access may be critical to minimizing exposure. Environmental measurements made during this period may have limited use because of the lack of availability of significant data and uncertainty about changes in environmental releases of radioactive material from their sources. In the case of a facility, for example, the uncertainty might be due to changes in pressure and radio nuclide concentrations within the structures from which the plume is being released. Therefore, it may be advisable to initiate early protective actions in a predetermined manner that is related to facility REV 0.0 (draft) 5 08/06110
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative conditions. This will normally be carried out through recommendations provided by the facility operator. During the second period, when environmental levels are known, these actions can be adjusted as necessary.
4.4 For an incident at a facility involving significant potential for an atmospheric release with offsite consequences, the following sequence of actions is appropriate:
- Notification of State and/or local authorities by the facility operator that conditions are such that a release is occurring, or could occur with offsite consequences. For severe incidents (e.g., General Emergencies), the operator should provide protective action recommendations to State and local authorities.
- Monitoring of facility conditions, release rates, environmental concentrations, and exposure rates.
- Estimation of offsite consequences (e.g., calculation of the plume centerline dose rates and projected doses at various distances downwind from the release point).
- Implementation of protective actions in additional areas if needed.
- Decisions to terminate existing protective actions should include, as a minimum, consideration of the status of the plant and the PAGs for relocation (Chapter 4, EPA-400). (Withdrawal of protective actions from areas where they have already been implemented is usually not advisable during the early phase because of the potential for changing conditions and confusion).

- 1. If this is an Immediate General Emergency Notification, note that the County Warning Point will initiate siren sounding and issue a default Emergency Alert System (EAS) message to sheltering-in-pJace within five miles.
Immediately confer with the County Executive and DES Commissioner to consider the need for evacuation and administration of KI to impacted public.
NOTE:
When the General Emergency is declared the most likely initial protective action is evacuation of the 2-mile radius and 5-mile downwind affected AREA's (weather and other conditions permitting). Sheltering-in-place may be warranted if severe weather conditions exist e.g. heavy snow, tornadoes, floods etc. Refer to attachment 6 for sheltering-in-place guidelines.
Expansion of the PAD out to 10 miles or other AREA's may be required depending on wind shifts, field monitoring team data or additional PAR's from the utility.
When a protective action decision is made on evacuation or sheltering-in-place, the decision makers should also consider the following factors:
- Plant conditions and emergency classification level
- Projected dose base on release estimates and meteorological conditions
- Projected dose based on simulated field measurements and meteorological conditions
- Protective action guides incorporated in the organization's plan
- Evacuation travel time estimates
- Risk from evacuation
- Weather conditions Notes:

WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative Executive Summary Licensee and State members of the Potassium Iodide (KI) Task Force (KI Task Force) developed this position paper to detail the decision process by which several recommendations regarding KI distribution will be made. The Task Force agreed that upon declaration of a General Emergency by the licensee, a recommendation to evacuate and take KI would be made simultaneously. It was also agreed that a single trigger level would be used (projected dose of 5 rem to the child thyroid). This paper discusses several approaches to determine doses/iodine concentrations and whether one approach was selected over the others due to effectiveness, timeliness, ease of implementation, etc.
The following six specific recommendations were agreed upon by the KI Task Force:
- 1. "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, tlte following will be directed to ingest Ill:
- members oftlte public tltat are directed to evacuate
- captive populations witltin tlte evacuated area
- members of tlte public tit at would otlterwise Itave been evacuated but are directed to sltelter-in-place because evacuation is not feasible. "
- 2. "If evacuation is recommended at an EeL otlter titan a General Emergency, or for any otlter reason, a direction to ingest KI as described in recommendation No.1 will not be made.
Ingestion of KI will be recommended only upon declaration of a General Emergency. "
- 3. "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, members oftlte public tltat are directed to sltelter-in-place in order to reduce dose sltall be directed to ingest KL Members of tlte public wlto are directed to monitor tlte Emergency Alert System will not be directed to ingest KI."
- 4. "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, all emergency workers located witltin tlte 10-mile EPZ will be directed to take III (one 130-mg tablet every 24 Itours). Tltis recommendation will be made at tlte same time as tlte recommendation to ingest III is made to tlte general public. "
- 5. "Members of the public and captive populations who are directed to take KI shall be directed to ingest KI in the dosage recommended by the US FDA. If a scheme of graded dosing is not possible, one 130-mg tablet per person may be ingested with minimal risk for those over one year of age. Dose to neonates should be limited to 16 mg, if possible."
- 6. "As part of a pre-distribution effort, each member of the public should be offered a quantity of KI tablets equivalent to the following:
Maximum ETE (in days-rounded up) x 1 age and/or weigltt dependent dose/day Alternatively, one bottle of liquid KI may be offered per family."
REV 0.0 (draft) 27 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative The group recognizes that a strong public information campaign and clear messages during the emergency are key to a successful KI implementation program. Some implementation guidance is provided at the end of the document.
- 1. Purpose The purpose of this paper is to document a technical assessment of issues associated with the distribution of Potassium Iodide (KI) to the general public, emergency workers and captive populations, and to provide implementation guidance for:
- Usage
- General Public
- Emergency Workers
- Captive Populations
- Dosage and frequency
- Pre-distribution criteria
- 2. Regulatory Requirements and Guidance 2.1 Applicable regulations The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) amended emergency planning regulations to require that States consider including the prophylactic use of KI as a protective measure for the general public in the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) in 66 FR 5427 on 19 Jan 2001. (Ref. I)
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided notice that the Federal Radiological Preparedness Coordinating Committee (FRPCC) revised its 1985 Federal policy regarding KI use in 67 FR 1355 on 10 Jan 2002. (Ref. 2) 2.2 Current guidance The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidance on the use ofKI in radiation emergencies in December 2001 (Ref. 3). This document concludes "Short-term administration ofKI at thyroid blocking doses is safe ... " (Ref. 3 IV.A.) and indicates KI dosage is dependent on age and "Predicted Thyroid Exposure" (Ref. 3 IY.B.). This document states that "The recommendation should be interpreted with flexibility as necessary to allow optimally effective and safe dosing ... " Additionally, " ... the overall benefits of KI far exceed the risks of overdosing ... " (Ref. 3 IV.B.).
2.3 New York State Position In 2002, New York State, in its consideration of the subject CFR, chose to incorporate KI as an adjunct to the current range of protective actions for the public. The New York State Revised KI Policy was issued in April 2002.
REV 0.0 (draft) 28 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative 2.4 Upcoming Guidance This Position Paper will be revised as necessary to accommodate any new Federal guidance and availability of KI in different dosages.
- 3. Assumptions
- For optimal protection against inhaled radioiodine, KI should be administered before or immediately coincident with passage of the radioactive cloud. Effectiveness drops off rather quickly as time since radioiodine exposure increases. The effectiveness drops to about 50% ifKI is taken two hours after exposure, and continues to decrease as time after exposure increases. (Ref.
- 3. V.).
- The recommended daily dose protects the user from radioiodine uptake for approximately 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
- KI should be taken until the person is no longer exposed to radioiodine.
- Radioiodine would only be present in the environment in sufficient quantities to exceed 5 rem child thyroid dose (CDE T), which is the minimum dose at which KI is recommended, if a General Emergency (GE) had been declared at the facility from which the source term originates. This assumption is based on the fact that radioiodine can only be present in quantities capable of producing 5 rem child CDET in the presence of significant core damage and loss of primary containment, which are criteria that constitute a General Emergency.
- There will only be one trigger level to recommend KI: 5 rem to the child thyroid (CDE T). This trigger level applies to the general public, emergency workers and captive populations.
- 4. Implementation Analysis This section presents six recommendations as well as the rationale, benefits and risks associated with each. Recommendations are presented for when to issue a KI recommendation, dosage, and criteria for pre-distribution. These analyses apply to members of the public, emergency workers and captive populations.
4.1 Task Force Recommendation # 1 "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, tlte following will be directed to ingest Kl:
- members of the public that are directed to evacuate
- captive populations within the evacuated area
- members of tlte public that would otherwise have been evacuated but are directed to shelter-in-place because evacuation is not feasible. "
REV 0.0 (draft) 29 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative Analysis:
Three methods were investigated to arrive to this recommendation:
- Use of a dose value,
- Use of deterministic methods, and
- Use of emergency classification.
Each analysis is described separately.
4.1.1 Using Dose Value This analysis examines a method that utilizes projected dose to the thyroid as an indication of recommendation of KI use by the public [specifically, Committed Dose Equivalent to the child thyroid (CDE T)]. In accordance with FDA Guidance (Ref. 3), child CDET2: 5 rem is the indication at which KI use should be recommended.
To date, none ofthe New York State nuclear power facilities utilize real-time iodine monitoring.
Hence, releases of radioiodine to the environment during an emergency are inferred from either grab samples or back calculated from field data. Both of these methods require several steps that need, at a minimum:
- Allocation and briefing of personnel,
- Assembling equipment and procedures to enter the field to collect and analyze samples,
- Reporting the results to an emergency facility,
- Performing calculations to determine child CDET,
- Relaying dose assessment information to the state/county,
- Decision-making by the state/county, and
- Dissemination of recommendations to the public.
These steps are routinely performed during emergency drills, and our experience indicates that it may take anywhere from 30-90 minutes to calculate the child CDET once a decision has been made to obtain a sample. Additionally, the emergency facilities that implement this analysis may take up to 60 minutes to activate after declaration of an emergency.
Normally, the calculation of the child CDET takes place after the completion of protective action recommendations (PARs) based on "plant conditions". The PARs for a General Emergency are to REV 0.0 (draft) 30 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative evacuate people within two-miles around and five miles downwind of the site, and advise all remaining AREAs to monitor the Emergency Alert System.
Given the above:
- Child CD ET would likely be calculated and provided to the County and the State within 105-165 minutes after the declaration of the GE.
- If the County decides that the use of KI is appropriate, given the time the county takes to make the decision and prepare public information messages, this instruction could be provided to the public in 150-210 minutes after the declaration of the GE.
4.1.2 Use of Deterministic Methods In this case, methods that determine child CDET utilizing parameters such as containment high range monitor status, gross core damage estimate, and/or reactor pressure vessel and containment integrity were considered. Unfortunately, the data needed to make even rough estimations of these parameters would typically be assessed after the GE-related recommendations. Hence, the time-delay risks of such a method still apply.
Benefits of these methods Administration of KI would occur only in the presence of radioiodine in quantities that meet or exceed the "Predicted thyroid exposure guidance" in Reference 3.
Risks of these methods
- Administration ofKI would occur (up to 3-4 hours) after the release of radioiodine, decreasing the effectiveness of the prophylaxis by more than 75%.
- Administration of KI would likely occur after other protective actions (that is evacuation) have already been recommended to the public. It is unknown if the public would comply with instructions to bring KI with them.
- Members of the public may delay evacuation in order to locate their KI.
- If two separate protective actions are issued to the public (for example, an order to evacuate not accompanied by a recommendation to take KI), compliance with the respective recommendations is unknown. It is possible that the public will not differentiate between the protective actions and, when told to evacuate, may take KI as well. The risk is that the public sees these as two separate protective actions, potentially providing confusion and non-compliance.
4.1.3 Use of Emergency Classification REV 0.0 (draft) 31 08/06110
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative This analysis examines a method that would use the emergency classification level as the indication for KI use. Specifically, the indication for KI use is a declaration of a General Emergency.
- The General Emergency classification is currently used to determine evacuation PARs.
- If KI use was always implemented concurrently with the "plant condition" protective action recommendations, the public would receive the recommendation to take KI at the same time they received the order to evacuate; that is, within an hour of the declaration of the General Emergency.
- By definition, the declaration of a General Emergency presumes that "Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area." (Ref.
7).
- The EPA Protective Action Guideline (PAG) is to evacuate populations whose actual or projected exposure level equals or exceeds 5 rem Committed Dose Equivalent to the (adult) thyroid (Ref. 8).
- New York State nuclear power plant licensees calculate CDETto the child thyroid, and provide this number to the counties and state for comparison against the PA G' s (Ref. 9).
- Hence, when the licensee recommends evacuation due to a General Emergency declaration, a child CDET~ 5 rem either exists or is anticipated to exist at the site boundary or beyond. Though there are exceptions to this (such as GE's declared due to security issues or electrical problems) all GE's have the potential to exceed the 5 rem child CDETleveL Calculations performed by New York State on a variety of plant conditions postulated to exist during a GE provide confirmation of this (Ref. 6).
- Given the above, it can be reasonably assumed that the radiological conditions present within the context of a General Emergency will result in meeting or exceeding the child CDET~ 5 rem, which is also the thyroid exposure at which the FDA recommends the use of prophylactic KI.
Benefits of this method
- The recommendation to take KI could be issued earlier than the other indication methods, concurrently with the recommendation to evacuate or shelter-in-place. This would likely occur prior to the presence of radioiodine in the environment, thus providing maximum loading dose of stable iodine to the thyroid.
- Compliance with taking KI is more likely since all protective actions are being implemented at once. Also, people would be more likely to have access to pre-distributed KI.
REV 0.0 (draft) 32 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative Risks to this method
- KI could be ingested without significant radioiodine ever being present in the environment. For example, the accident may not result in a release of radioiodine to the environment. Hence the public incurs the risk of taking KI without benefit.
Risk Analysis
- The risk of taking KI is minor (Ref. 10).
- A GE condition carries a risk of radioiodine release to the public.
- KI should be taken as soon as possible once the risk of radioiodine exposure is present.
- Using projected child CDET as the basis for a recommendation to take KI could significantly delay KI administration.
- Providing the public with a recommendation to take KI concurrent with an order for evacuation or sheltering-in-place provides the earliest and most effective thyroid protection with the greatest likelihood of compliance.
4.4 Task Force Recommendation # 2 "If evacuation is recommended at an EeL other than a General Emergency, or for any other reason, a direction to ingest KI as described in recommendation No.1 will not be made.
Ingestion of Kl will be recommended only upon declaration of a General Emergency. "
Analysis
- The recommendation to take KI should be given to any persons likely to be exposed to radioiodine in quantities that may exceed the "Predicted thyroid exposure guidance" presented in Reference 3.
- This analysis suggests that persons who are ordered to evacuate due to plant conditions or due to subsequently determined projected dose may exceed the predicted thyroid dose, and should take KI.
- For the population that has been told to evacuate for any reason other than the declaration of a General Emergency the risk of radioiodine exposure is low.
- Populations who took, or were recommended to take KI coincident with the recommendation to evacuate at an emergency classification level (ECL) other than a General Emergency, or for any other reason, are at risk of depleting their pre-distributed KI supply, making it unavailable in the event of radioiodine exposure.
REV 0.0 (draft) 33 08/06110
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative 4.5 Task Force Recommendation #3 "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, members of the public that are directed to shelter-in-place in order to reduce dose shall be directed to ingest Kl. Members of the public who are directed to monitor the Emergency Alert System will not be directed to ingest Kl."
Analvsis
- Upon declaration of a General Emergency, the licensee will automatically recommend evacuation for the area two miles around and five miles downwind from the plant.
- In cases where a General Emergency is the first ECL declared ("fast-breaker"), resources and facilities would not be in place to allow for orderly evacuation. It is therefore likely that the population will not be directed to evacuate, but will be directed to shelter-in-place (in order to reduce dose).
- If it has been determined that an impediment to evacuation exits (i.e., lack of transportation resources, inclement weather, or road impediment) then the county or state may decide to shelter-in-place for the purpose of reducing dose rather than evacuate.
- Given the analysis in section 4.1.3, it can be reasonably assumed that the radiological conditions present within the context of a General Emergency will result in meeting or exceeding the child CDET ;:: 5 rem, which is also the thyroid exposure at which the FDA recommends the use of prophylactic KI.
- For the popUlation that has not been evacuated and has been told to monitor the Emergency Alert System in order to maintain a heightened state of awareness, the risk of radioiodine exposure is low. The reasons for this are:
- Due to the distance from the reactor, this popUlation is at significantly less risk from radiation exposure from all sources, versus persons closer to the reactor.
- Monitoring the Emergency Alert System in order to maintain a heightened state of awareness is used for projected doses of < I rem TEDE or < 5 rem CDET . Hence this popUlation is not at risk of significant exposures to radioiodine.
- Populations that have not been evacuated, who took, or were recommended to take KI coincident with the direction to monitor the Emergency Alert System are at risk of depleting their pre-distributed KI supply, making it unavailable in the event of radioiodine exposure.
REV 0.0 (draft) 34 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative 4.6 Task Force Recommendation # 4 "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, all emergency workers located witltin tlte 10-mile EPZ will be directed to take Kl (one 130 mg tablet every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />). Tltis recommendation will be made at tlte same time as tlte recommendation to ingest Kl is made to tlte general public. "
Analysis
- Though current trigger levels for emergency worker KI use vary within New York State, all methods use trigger levels greater than the 5 rem child CDETthat is associated with the general public.
- The KI Task Force has agreed that there will be one trigger level to recommend KI, and that trigger level will be 5 rem child CDET.
- Most emergency workers are members of the public, and many will encounter the evacuating public, who will have been told to take their KI. Additionally, emergency workers have access to the same public information that would be instructing the public to take KL These emergency workers:
- May not differentiate themselves from the public in the presence of instructions regarding KI.
- May not comply with directions that differ from those being broadcast to the public .
- Since emergency workers are likely to move about between evacuated and non-evacuated areas within the EPZ, all emergency workers within the EPZ will be directed to take KI. This includes licensee emergency workers as well as county, state, and local emergency workers.
- Using the same arguments as in section 4.1, if current methods are continued, emergency workers would receive a recommendation to take KI while in the field. This method:
- Is likely to result in a recommendation to take KI after exposure to radioiodine has already occurred.
- Has potential delays due to the communications lag present when contacting several hundred emergency workers in the field.
- Directing emergency workers to take KI in the absence of radioiodine has the same risks and benefits detailed in section 4.1.
REV 0.0 (draft) 35 08/06110
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative 4.7 Task Force Recommendation # 5 "Members of the public and captive populations who are directed to take KI shall be directed to ingest KI in the dosage recommended by the US FDA. If a scheme of graded dosing is not possible, one 130-mg tablet per person may be ingested with minimal risk for those over one year of age. Dose to neonates should be limited to 16 mg, if possible."
Analysis The FDA guidance (Ref. 3) contains a number of age dependent doses. These recommendations are the lowest effective dose. Emergency planners and others should understand that absolute precision in dosing is generally not critical to safety or efficacy. Higher doses (e.g., up to 130 mg) would be equally effective and, particularly among school-age children, extremely safe (Ref. 10).
In addition to 130 mg tablets, KI is now FDA-approved and available in 65 mg tablets and liquid (65 mg/mt).

If local emergency planners conclude that graded dosing is logistically impractical, for populations at risk for radioiodine exposure, the overall benefits of taking up to 130 mg of KI instead of the lower doses recommended for certain age groups far exceed the small risks of overdosing. However, where feasible, adherence to FDA guidance should be attempted when dosing infants. Ideally, neonates should receive the lowest dose (I6 mg) of KL Excess iodine intake can lead to transient iodine-induced hypothyroidism in neonates, which can impact intellectual development.
Individuals who are intolerant ofKI at protective doses, as well as neonates, pregnant, and lactating women, should be given priority with regard to other protective measures (i.e., sheltering-in-place, evacuation, and control of the food supply) (Ref. 10).
REV 0.0 (draft) 36 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative This analysis recognizes:
- Potential confusion relating these doses to the public.
- Practical issues associated with delivering doses based on fractions of a tablet. This would require sectioning KI tablets in order to achieve a desired delivered dose.
- Likely lack of compliance regarding dose given the above issues.
Benefits to this method
- Instructions to follow the FDA recommendations if possible, but allowing up to 130 mg for persons over one year of age, and limiting neonates to 16 mg are easily related in public information material.
- Simple instructions are more likely to be complied with.
Risks to this method This recommendation may provide a dose to children significantly in excess of the FDA requirements.
In light of potential developmental consequences of even transient hypothyroidism, neonates who receive KI should be medically monitored and thyroid hormone therapy given in cases where hypothyroidism develops. This action should be incorporated into the State and county plans.
Risk Analysis
- The risk associated with excessive KI is less than the risk of exposure to radioiodine (Ref. 3).
- The public is more likely to comply with simple dose instructions.
- The FDA has indicated that the use of a single 130-mg dose for all members of the public is safe, regardless of age (Ref. 10).
4.8 Task Force Recommendation # 6 "As part of a pre-distribution effort, each member of the public should be offered a quantity of KI tablets equivalent to the following:
Maximum ETE (in days-rounded up) x 1 age and/or weight dependent dose/day.
Alternatively, one bottle of liquid KI may be offered per family."
REV 0.0 (draft) 37 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative
- The public should be provided with sufficient KI to assure that thyroid prophylaxis is available to accommodate an expected duration of exposure to radioiodine.
- Given that evacuation of the public is the preferred method of preventing exposure, in an incident that could result in the release of radioiodine, the public could be expected to be exposed for a period of time equal to the greatest Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE) for the facility in question.
- One dose ofKI protects the thyroid for approximately 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> (one day).
It is possible that impediments to evacuation may prevent the egress of portions of the population that would otherwise be evacuated (examples are road impediments such as heavy snowfall or transportation resource shortfalls), however, those conditions are accommodated in each nuclear facility's ETE.
- Given the above, pre-distribution efforts should provide sufficient KI in accordance with the following:
Maximum ETE (in days-rounded up) x I age and/or weight dependent dose/day
= # KJ tablet(s) per person that should be pre-distributed Example: At Nine Mile Point, the maximum amount of time it would take to evacuate any member of the public is 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, 20 minutes, as indicated in that facility's ETE (Ref. 4). Rounded up, that is equivalent to I day. Plugging this into the above formula:
1 day x 1 age and/or weight dependent dose/day
= 1 age and/or weight dependent dose In this example, one tablet of the appropriate dosage should be offered per person in a pre-distribution method. If 65 mg tablets are not available, 130 mg tablets may be offered.
Alternatively, one bottle of liquid KI per family may be offered.

WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative Attachment 4 NRC REGULATORY GUIDE 8.13 INSTRUCTION CONCERNING PRENATAL RADIATION EXPOSURE A INTRODUCTION The Code of Federal Regulations in 10 CFR Part 19, "Notices. Instructions and Reports to Workers: Inspection and Investigations," in Section 19.12, "Instructions to Workers," requires instruction in "the health protection problems associated with exposure to radiation and/or radioactive material, in precautions or procedures to minimize exposure, and in the purposes and functions of protective devices employed." The instructions must be "commensurate with potential radiological health protection problems present in the work place."
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) regulations on radiation protection are specified in 10 CFR Part 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation"; and Section 20.1208, "Dose to an Embryo/Fetus," requires licensees to "ensure that the dose to an embryo/fetus during the entire pregnancy, due to occupational exposure of a declared pregnant woman, does not exceed 0.5 rem (5 mSv)." Section 20.1208 also requires licensees to "make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly exposure rate to a declared pregnant woman." A declared pregnant woman is defined in 10 CFR 20.1003 as a woman who has voluntarily informed her employer, in writing, of her pregnancy and the estimated date of conception.
This regulatory guide is intended to provide information to pregnant women, and other personnel, to help them make decisions regarding radiation exposure during pregnancy. This Regulatory Guide 8.13 supplements Regulatory Guide 8.29, "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure" (Ref. 1), which contains a broad discussion of the risks from exposure to ionizing radiation.
Other sections of the NRC's regulations also specify requirements for monitoring external and internal occupational dose to a declared pregnant woman. In 10 CFR 20.1502, "Conditions Requiring Individual Monitoring of External and Internal Occupational Dose,"
licensees are required to monitor the occupational dose to a declared pregnant woman, using an individual monitoring device, if it is likely that the declared pregnant woman will receive, from external sources, a deep dose equivalent in excess of 0.1 rem (1 mSv).
According to Paragraph (e) of 10 CFR 20.2106, "Records of Individual Monitoring Results,"
the licensee must maintain records of dose to an embryo/fetus if monitoring was required, and the records of dose to the embryo/fetus must be kept with the records of dose to the declared pregnant woman. The declaration of pregnancy must be kept on file, but may be maintained separately from the dose records. The licensee must retain the required form or record until the Commission terminates each pertinent license requiring the record.
The information col/ections in this regulatory guide are covered by the requirements of 1.Q CFR Parts 19 or 20, which were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, REV 0.0 (draft) 44 08/06110
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative approval numbers 3150-0044 and 3150-0014, respectively. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMS control number.
S. DISCUSSION As discussed in Regulatory Guide 8.29 (Ref. 1), exposure to any level of radiation is assumed to carry with it a certain amount of risk. In the absence of scientific certainty regarding the relationship between low dose exposure and health effects, and as a conservative assumption for radiation protection purposes, the scientific community generally assumes that any exposure to ionizing radiation may cause undesirable biological effects and that the likelihood of these effects increases as the dose increases. At the occupational dose limit for the whole body of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year, the risk is believed to be very low.
The magnitude of risk of childhood cancer following in utero exposure is uncertain in that both negative and positive studies have been reported. The data from these studies "are consistent with a lifetime cancer risk resulting from exposure during gestation which is two to three times that for the adult" (NCRP Report No. 116, Ref. 2). The NRC has reviewed the available scientific literature and has concluded that the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) limit specified in 12 CFR 20.1208 provides an adequate margin of protection for the embryo/fetus. This dose limit reflects the desire to limit the total lifetime risk of leukemia and other cancers associated with radiation exposure during pregnancy.
In order for a pregnant worker to take advantage of the lower exposure limit and dose monitoring provisions specified in 10 CFR Part 20, the woman must declare her pregnancy in writing to the licensee. A form letter for declaring pregnancy is provided in this guide or the licensee may use its own form letter for declaring pregnancy. A separate written declaration should be submitted for each pregnancy.
C. REGULATORY POSITION
- 1. Who Should Receive Instruction Female workers who require training under 10 CFR 19.12 should be provided with the information contained in this guide. In addition to the information contained in Regulatory Guide 8.29 (Ref. 1), this information may be included as part of the training required under 10 CFR 19.12.
- 2. Providing Instruction The occupational worker may be given a copy of this guide with its Appendix, an REV 0.0 (draft) 45 08/06110
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative explanation of the contents of the guide, and an opportunity to ask questions and request additional information. The information in this guide and Appendix should also be provided to any worker or supervisor who may be affected by a declaration of pregnancy or who may have to take some action in response to such a declaration.
Classroom instruction may supplement the written information. If the licensee provides classroom instruction, the instructor should have some knowledge of the biological effects of radiation to be able to answer questions that may go beyond the information provided in this guide. Videotaped presentations may be used for classroom instruction. Regard/ess of whether the licensee provides classroom training, the licensee should give workers the opportunity to ask questions about information contained in this Regulatory Guide 8.13. The licensee may take credit for instruction that the worker has received within the past year at other licensed facilities or in other courses or training.
- 3. Licensee's Policy on Declared Pregnant Women The instruction provided should describe the licensee's specific policy on declared pregnant women, including how those policies may affect a woman's work situation.
In particular, the instruction should include a description of the licensee's policies, if any, that may affect the declared pregnant woman's work situation after she has filed a written declaration of pregnancy consistent with 10 CFR 20.1208.
The instruction should also identify who to contact for additional information as well as identify who should receive the written declaration of pregnancy. The recipient of the woman's declaration may be identified by name (e.g., John Smith), position (e.g., immediate supervisor, the radiation safety officer), or department (e.g., the personnel department).
- 4. Duration of Lower Dose Limits for the Embryo/Fetus The lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus should remain in effect until the woman withdraws the declaration in writing or the woman is no longer pregnant. If a declaration of pregnancy is withdrawn, the dose limit for the embryo/fetus would apply only to the time from the estimated date of conception until the time the declaration is withdrawn. If the declaration is not withdrawn, the written declaration may be considered expired one year after submission.
- 5. Substantial Variations Above a Uniform Monthly Dose Rate According to 10 CFR 20.1208(b), "The licensee shall make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly exposure rate to a declared pregnant woman so as to satisfy the limit in paragraph (a) of this section," that is, 0.5 rem (5 mSv) to the embryo/fetus. The National Council on Radiation Protection and REV 0.0 (draft) 46 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative Measurements (NCRP) recommends a monthly equivalent dose limit of 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) to the embryo/fetus once the pregnancy is known (Ref. 2). In view of the NCRP recommendation, any monthly dose of less than 0.1 rem (1 mSv) may be considered as not a substantial variation above a uniform monthly dose rate and as such will not require licensee justification. However, a monthly dose greater than 0.1 rem (1 mSv) should be justified by the licensee.
A. IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of this section is to provide information to licensees and applicants regarding the NRC staffs plans for using this regulatory guide.
Unless a licensee or an applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with the specified portions of the NRC's regulations, the methods described in this guide will be used by the NRC staff in the evaluation of instructions to workers on the radiation exposure of pregnant women.

APPENDIX: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING PRENATAL RADIATION EXPOSURE
- 1. Why am I receiving this information?
The NRC's regulations (in 10 CFR 19.12, "Instructions to Workers") require that licensees instruct individuals working with licensed radioactive materials in radiation protection as appropriate for the situation. The instruction below describes information that occupational workers and their supervisors should know about the radiation exposure of the embryo/fetus of pregnant women.
The regulations allow a pregnant woman to decide whether she wants to formally declare her pregnancy to take advantage of lower dose limits for the embryo/fetus.
This instruction provides information to help women make an informed decision whether to declare a pregnancy.
- 2. If I become pregnant, am I required to declare my pregnancy?
REV 0.0 (draft) 47 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative No. The choice whether to declare your pregnancy is completely voluntary. If you choose to dec/are your pregnancy, you must do so in writing and a lower radiation dose limit will apply to your embryo/fetus. If you choose not to declare your pregnancy, you and your embryo/fetus will continue to be subject to the same radiation dose limits that apply to other occupational workers.
- 3. If I declare my pregnancy in writing, what happens?
If you choose to declare your pregnancy in writing, the licensee must take measures to limit the dose to your embryo/fetus to 0.5 rem (5 millisievert) during the entire pregnancy. This is one-tenth of the dose that an occupational worker may receive in a year. If you have already received a dose exceeding 0.5 rem (5 mSv) in the period between conception and the declaration of your pregnancy, an additional dose of 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) is allowed during the remainder of the pregnancy. In addition, 10 CFR 20.1208, "Dose to an Embryo/Fetus," requires licensees to make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly dose rate so that all the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) allowed dose does not occur in a short period during the pregnancy.
This may mean that, if you declare your pregnancy, the licensee may not permit you to do some of your normal job functions if those functions would have allowed you to receive more than 0.5 rem, and you may not be able to have some emergency response responsibilities.
- 4. Why do the regulations have a lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman than for a pregnant worker who has not declared?
A lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman is based on a consideration of greater sensitivity to radiation of the embryo/fetus and the involuntary nature of the exposure. Several scientific advisory groups have recommended (References 1 and 2) that the dose to the embryo/fetus be limited to a fraction of the occupational dose limit.
- 5. What are the potentially harmful effects of radiation exposure to my embryo/fetus?
The occurrence and severity of health effects caused by ionizing radiation are dependent upon the type and total dose of radiation received, as well as the time period over which the exposure was received. See Regulatory Guide 8.29, "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Exposure" (Ref. 3), for more information. The main concern is embryo/fetal susceptibility to the harmful effects of radiation such as cancer.
- 6. Are there any risks of genetic defects?
REV 0.0 (draft) 48 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative Although radiation injury has been induced experimentally in rodents and insects, and in the experiments was transmitted and became manifest as hereditary disorders in their offspring, radiation has not been identified as a cause of such effect in humans. Therefore, the risk of genetic effects attributable to radiation exposure is speculative. For example, no genetic effects have been documented in any of the Japanese atomic bomb survivors, their children, or their grandchildren.
- 7. What if J decide that I do not want any radiation exposure at all during my pregnancy?
You may ask your employer for a job that does not involve any exposure at all to occupational radiation dose, but your employer is not obligated to provide you with a job involving no radiation exposure. Even if you receive no occupational exposure at all, your embryo/fetus will receive some radiation dose (on average 75 mrem (0.75 mSv>> during your pregnancy from natural background radiation.
The NRC has reviewed the available scientific literature and concluded that the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) limit provides an adequate margin of protection for the embryo/fetus.
This dose limit reflects the desire to limit the total lifetime risk of leukemia and other cancers. If this dose limit is exceeded, the total lifetime risk of cancer to the embryo/fetus may increase incrementally. However, the decision on what level of risk to accept is yours. More detailed information on potential risk to the embryo/fetus from radiation exposure can be found in References 2-10.
- 8. What effect will formally declaring my pregnancy have on my job status?
Only the licensee can tell you what effect a written declaration of pregnancy will have on your job status. As part of your radiation safety training, the licensee should tell you the company's policies with respect to the job status of declared pregnant women. In addition, before you declare your pregnancy, you may want to talk to your supervisor or your radiation safety officer and ask what a declaration of pregnancy would mean specifically for you and your job status.
In many cases you can continue in your present job with no change and still meet the dose limit for the embryo/fetus. For example, most commercial power reactor workers (approximately 93%) receive, in 12 months, occupational radiation doses that are less than 0.5 rem (5 mSv) (Ref. 11). The licensee may also consider the likelihood of increased radiation exposures from accidents and abnormal events before making a decision to allow you to continue in your present job.
If your current work might cause the dose to your embryo/fetus to exceed 0.5 rem (5 mSv), the licensee has various options. It is possible that the licensee can and will make a reasonable accommodation that will allow you to continue performing your current job, for example, by having another qualified employee do a small part of the job that accounts for some of your radiation exposure.

WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative
- 9. What information must I provide in my written declaration of pregnancy?
You should provide, in writing, your name, a declaration that you are pregnant, the estimated date of conception (only the month and year need be given), and the date that you give the letter to the licensee. A form letter that you can use is included at the end of these questions and answers. You may use that letter, use a form letter the licensee has provided to you, or write your own letter.
- 10. To declare my pregnancy, do I have to have documented medical proof that I am pregnant?
NRC regulations do not require that you provide medical proof of your pregnancy.
However, NRC regulations do not preclude the licensee from requesting medical documentation of your pregnancy, especially if a change in your duties is necessary in order to comply with the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) dose limit.
- 11. Can I tell the licensee orally rather than in writing that I am pregnant?
No. The regulations require that the declaration must be in writing.
- 12. If I have not declared my pregnancy in writing, but the licensee suspects that I am pregnant, do the lower dose limits apply?
No. The lower dose limits for pregnant women apply only if you have declared your pregnancy in writing. The United States Supreme Court has ruled (in United Automobile Workers International Union v. Johnson Controls, Inc., 1991) that "Decisions about the welfare of future children must be left to the parents who conceive, bear, support, and raise them rather than to the employers who hire those parents" (Reference 7). The Supreme Court also ruled that your employer may not restrict you from a specific job "because of concerns about the next generation." Thus, the lower limits apply only if you choose to declare your pregnancy in writing.
- 13. If I am planning to become pregnant but am not yet pregnant and I inform the licensee of that in writing, do the lower dose limits apply?
No. The requirement for lower limits applies only if you declare in writing that you are already pregnant.
- 14. What if I have a miscarriage or find out that I am not pregnant?
If you have declared your pregnancy in writing, you should promptly inform the licensee in writing that you are no longer pregnant. However, if you have not formally declared your pregnancy in writing, you need not inform the licensee of REV 0.0 (draft) 50 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative your non-pregnant status.
- 15. How long is the lower dose limit in effect?
The dose to the embryo/fetus must be limited until you withdraw your declaration in writing or you inform the licensee in writing that you are no longer pregnant. If the declaration is not withdrawn, the written declaration may be considered expired one year after submission.
- 16. If I have declared my pregnancy in writing, can I revoke my declaration of pregnancy even if I am still pregnant?
Yes, you may. The choice is entirely yours. If you revoke your declaration of pregnancy, the lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus no longer applies.
- 17. What if I work under contract at a licensed facility?
The regulations state that you should formally declare your pregnancy to the licensee in writing. The licensee has the responsibility to limit the dose to the embryo/fetus.
- 18. Where can I get additional information?
The references to this Appendix contain helpful information, especially Reference 3, NRC's Regulatory Guide 8.29, "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure," for general information on radiation risks. The licensee should be able to give this document to you.

DECLARATION OF PREGNANCY To:
In accordance with the NRC's regulations at 10 CFR 20.1208, "Dose to an Embryo/Fetus," I am declaring that I am pregnant. I believe I became pregnant (only the month and year need be provided). I understand the radiation dose to my embryo/fetus during my entire pregnancy will not be allowed to exceed 0.5 rem (5 millisievert) (unless that dose has already been exceeded between the time of conception and submitting this letter). I also understand that meeting the lower dose limit may require a change in job or job responsibilities during my pregnancy.

WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.0 Health Department EOC Representative Attachment 6 Sheltering-in-place Guidelines The Sheltering-in-place Option gives the County the capability to implement an effective protective action for the general public in the event of a puff-type radiological release incident at the Indian Point Energy Center (fPEC). In addition, for those situations requiring evacuation and where evacuation cannot be implemented because of time constraints and/or impediments to highway movement, Sheltering-in-place may be implemented in lieu of evacuation.
If Sheltering-in-place is implemented, the general public and special facility administrators should be informed of the following:
- 1. Remain indoors and close all windows and doors.
- 2. Turn off all fans, air conditioning equipment and other sources of outside air.
- 3. Close blinds and drapes.
- 4. Extinguish fires in fireplaces and close flues.
- 5. Keep listening to the TV and radio. For heightened awareness of a radiological emergency and for possible protective actions announced via the Emergency Alert System.
Sheltering-in-place may be preferable to evacuation as a protective action in some situations.
Because of the higher risk associated with evacuation of some special groups in the population (e.g., those who are not readily mobile), sheltering-in-place may be the preferred alternative for such groups as a protective action at projected doses up to 5 rem. In addition, under unusually hazardous environmental conditions use of sheltering-in-place at projected doses up to 5 rem to the general population (and up to 10 rem to special groups) may become justified.
Sheltering-in-place may also provide protection equal to or greater than evacuation due to the nature of the source term and/or in the presence of temporal or other site-specific conditions.
Illustrative examples of situations or groups for which evacuation may not be appropriate at 1 rem include: a) the presence of severe weather, b) competing disasters, c) institutionalized persons who are not readily mobile, and d) local physical factors which impede evacuation.

WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.1 Dose Assessment 5.0 Procedure 5.1 At the Alert status or higher the county warning point will notify the Department of Health Contact who will notify the dose assessment team members via the Department of Health call out list and direct them to report to the EOC.
5.2 Once the dose assessment team members have been notified and deployed to the EOC, the team lead will check Attachment 9 to ensure all positions are filled and complete Attachment 10 Field Monitoring Team Roster and notify the EOC Operations Manager of team status.
5.3 The dose assessment team lead will assess the IPEC data and consult with the IPEC technical representative to establish a baseline for future dose projection and protective action recommendations.
5.4 Verify dose projections by actual field team readings if possible.
5.5 Weather conditions and source term will have a determination on dose projections; therefore it is critical to monitor meteorological conditions as well as plant conditions for possible change in projected dose rates or dose.
5.6 When thyroid doses are calculated, the child thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) is used conservatively for public protective action decision-making, since child thyroid dose is approximately two times the adult thyroid dose for iodine inhalation.
5.7 At a Site Area Emergency, the dose assessment team should discuss the protective action decision (PAD) in anticipation of the protective action recommendation (PAR) from IPEC and be prepared to finalize the PAD once IPEC has made their recommendation.
5.8 Once the PAD is finalized with the County Executive, the PIO staff will initiate the EAS message.
5.9 The county has the capability to perform dose assessment by computer or by back-up manual calculations described as follows:

- 1. Determine and circle (on Assessment Worksheet No.3) the protective action options to be recommended based on the projected doses calculated on Assessment Worksheet No.3 and the following table:
DOSE (REM) TO THE EPA RECOMMENDED ACTIONS(a)
POPULATION ifotal Effective Dose No planned protective actions (b).
Equivalent (TEDE)< 1 Rem County/State may issue an advisory to seek shelter and await further instructions. Monitor CDE <5Rem environmental radiation levels.
(Child Thyroid)
Sheltering-in-place is particularly useful to assure that a population is positioned so that, if the need arises, communication with the ipopulation can be carried out expeditiously.
IrEDE 1 to < 5 Rem Evacuation unless constraints make it impractical, then shelter. Monitor CDE 5 to < 25 Rem environmental radiation levels. Control (Child Thyroid) access to affected areas. Seek shelter as a minimum.
Sheltering-in-place may be preferable to evacuation as a protective action in some situations, i.e., evacuation of special populations, unusual environmental conditions. For unusual environmental conditions, projected doses up to 5 Rem TEDE to the general population (and up to 10 Rem TEDE to special populations) may be ustified.
IrEDE ;::5 Conduct evacuation for general population.
Monitor environmental radiation levels and CDE (Thyroid) ;:: 25 adjust area for evacuation based on these levels. Control access to affected areas.
(a) These actIons are recommended for planning purposes. ProtectIve action decisions at the time of the incident must take existing conditions into consideration.
(b) At the time of the incident, officials may implement low-impact protective actions in keeping with the principle of maintaining radiation exposures as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).
Attachment 5 REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 19 08/09/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.1 Dose Assessment Determination of Protective Action Options (continued)
- 2. Describe the recommended protective actions as they relate to site boundary, 2, 5, and 10 miles on Assessment Worksheet No.3.
- 3. Use the appropriate Xu/Q overlay as selected in Attachment 2. The overlay should be aligned as indicated on Figure 1.
- 4. Determine all sectors affected by the overlay. Consider the potentially impacted area to include centerline sector and affected adjacent sectors. Use the most conservative isopleth line for the sector when two or more are overlaid.
- 5. Refer to Table 3 to convert affected sectors to AREAs as they relate to 2,5, and 10 mile zones.
NOTE: Only one sector is needed to qualify an AREA for action.
- 6. List AREAs with protective actions to be taken on Assessment Worksheet No.3.
- 7. Correction Factor for Internal Dose The dose limits in EPA 400-R-92-001 are expressed in terms of the radiation dose equivalent received from external sources (EDE) and the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) due to the intake of the radionuclide during the emergency. The external component of the dose to emergency workers is measured using the personal monitoring devices issued to these workers.
These include Radiation 8adges/DLR's and direct reading dosimeters. The internal component, on the other hand, cannot be directly measured and can only be calculated from knowledge of the radionuclide in the release and estimates of the intake of these radionuclides by the emergency responders. In the absence of information on these radionuclides, county staff should use a value of one (1) for the correction factor. The New York State Department of Health staff will use available information on the release or plant status to determine the appropriate value of a correction factor to be used, and will communicate this value via telephone and/or fax to the dose assessment staff at the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC). When a value for the correction factor is provided to the county EOC staff, the New York State Department of Health may recommend that this value be used by the dose assessment staff when comparing the emergency worker dose to the appropriate PAG.
When a release occurs and no information is available on the release characteristics, its pathway or the plant's safety systems status, the New York State Department of Health may recommend a default value for the correction factor.

WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.1 Dose Assessment Attachment SA Evaluation of Noble Gas to Iodine Ratios Initial dose projections utilize default noble gas to iodine ratios. These are 100:1 for main steam line releases and 10,000:1 involved with other releases (loss of coolant accidents). As field monitoring data become available, the information can be used to begin determination the actual noble gas to iodine mixture of the release.
These are steps for determining Noble Gas to Iodine Ratios:
Note: Worksheet 6 is available to assist with this determination.
- 1. When available, obtain center plume Iodine concentration in uCi/cc from the Part 2 form or other means (such as communication with the EOF).
- 2. For the corresponding time and location, obtain center plume closed window gamma reading from the Part 2 form or other means.
- 3. From table 4A (or equivalent), locate the noble gas DCF (mRem/hr per uCi/cc) that corresponds to the elapsed time from shutdown to when the sample was taken. The times are available on the Part 2 form, or may be obtained by other means.
- 4. Divide the closed window gamma reading (step 2) by the DCF (step 3) to obtain noble gas uCi/cc at the sampling location.
- 5. Determine the noble gas to iodine ratio by dividing the result of step 4 by step1.
- 6. Compare this result to: 100:1 for a Main Steam Line release or 10:000:1 for a loss of coolant accident.
- 7. If the comparison in 5 does not agree with the referenced values in 6, consult the EOF and NY State. If differences are significant enough, the basis for protective action decisions may change.

Evacuation (or sheltering-in- 1-5 REMb TEDE Evacuation (or, for some place3 ) or situations, sheltering-in-placea) 5-25 REM CDE - ChiidThyroid should normally be initiated at 1 rem.
aSheltering-in-place may be the preferred protective action when it will provide protection equal to or greater than evacuation, based on consideration of factors such as source term characteristics, and temporal or other site-specific conditions.
bThe sum of the effective dose equivalent resulting from exposure to external sources and the committed effective dose equivalent incurred from all significant inhalation pathways during the early phase.
Committed dose equivalents to the thyroid and to the skin may be 5 and 50 times larger, respectively.
Although the PAG is expressed as a range of 1-5 rem, it is emphasized that, under normal conditions, evacuation of members of the general population should be initiated for most incidents at a projected dose of 1 rem. (It should be recognized that doses to some individuals may exceed 1 rem, even if protective actions are initiated within this guidance.) It is also possible that conditions may exist at specific facilities which warrant consideration of values other than those recommended for general use here.
Sheltering-in-place may be preferable to evacuation as a protective action in some situations. Because of the higher risk associated with evacuation of some special groups in the population (e.g. those who are not readily mobile), sheltering may be the preferred alternative for such groups as a protective action at projected doses up to 5 rem. In addition, under unusually hazardous environmental conditions use of sheltering-in-place at projected doses up to 5 rem to the general population (and up to 10 rem to special groups) may become justified. Sheltering-in-place may also provide protection equal to or greater than evacuation due to the nature of the source term and/or in the presence of temporal or other site-specific conditions. Illustrative examples of situations or groups for which evacuation may not be appropriate at 1 rem include: a) the presence of severe weather, b) competing disasters, c) institutionalized persons who are not readily mobile and, d) local physical factors which impede evacuation.

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. These limits apply to aI/ doses from an incident, except those received in unrestricted areas as members of the public during the intermediate phase of the incident.
(a) These actions are recommended for planning purposes. Protective action decisions at the time of the incident must take existing conditions into consideration.
(b) At the time of the incident, officials may implement low-impact protective actions in keeping with the principle of maintaining radiation exposures as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).

2.0 Responsibilities 2.1 County Commissioner of Health - The County Commissioner of Health or their designee is responsible for assuring there is adequately trained staff to support field monitoring activities on a 24/7 basis if there is an event at the Indian Point Nuclear Facility for which the teams will be activated.
2.2 County Commissioner Department of Emergency Services - The County Commissioner Department of Emergency Services or their deSignee is responsible for maintaining the plans procedures in support of field monitoring team activities and assuring that training is provided to the appropriate health department personnel.
2.3 Field Monitoring Team Coordinator - The Field Monitoring Team Coordinator is stationed in the Dose Assessment Room and is responsible for overall coordination of the field monitoring teams. The Field Monitoring Team Coordinator is responsible for initial deployment of field monitoring teams as discussed with the Radiological Dose Assessment Director, and the relocation of field monitoring teams throughout the event. The Field Monitoring Team Coordinator is responsible for maintaining communication with field monitoring teams via Nextel Direct Connect phones, satellite phones and/or the RACES Operator stationed in the Dose Assessment Room, recording results of field monitoring, and providing these results to the Senior Dose Assessor.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 3 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams 2.4 Assistant Field Monitoring Team Coordinator (AFMTC) - The Assistant Field Monitoring Team Coordinator responds directly to the radiological equipment storage location to observe field monitoring teams perform pre-departure checklist items on all equipment. From this location the Assistant Field Monitoring Team Coordinator establishes contact with the Field Monitoring Team Coordinator to receive briefing information prior to deployment of field monitoring teams and prior to responding to the EOC Dose Assessment Room to assist the Field Monitoring Team Coordinator.
2.5 Field Monitors - The Field Monitors are responsible for taking radiation measurements and sample collection.
3.0 Concept of Operations 3.1 Field monitoring teams are activated and deployed by the Senior Dose Assessor in the EOC at the ALERT status or higher. The teams are equipped to perform field measurements of direct radiation exposure (cloud and ground shine) and to sample airborne radioiodine and particulates.
The field teams are managed to obtain sufficient information to characterize the release and to control radiation exposure.
Field monitoring measurements and sampling are an integral part to support adequate assessments and protective action decision making.
3.2 Communication is provided by:
3.2.1 Nextel Phones using their Direct Connect feature 3.2.2 Satellite telephones and/or 3.2.3 RACES volunteers using mobile radios in vehicles, a remote base station in the EOC, and a remote handset in the Dose Assessment Room in the EOC.
Note: See also Attachment 1 to the Health Department's Field Monitoring Procedures Manual.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 4 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams 4.0 4.0 Procedure 4.1 At the Alert status or higher the county warning point will notify the Department of Health Contact who will notify field monitoring team members via the Department of Health call out list and direct them to report to the Health Department field monitoring equipment storerooms.
4.2 Once the field team members have been notified and deployed to storerooms, the field monitoring team lead will notify the appropriate Health Department personnel that the field teams will be arriving and to provide access to the facility.
4.3 As each team arrives, the designated team leader will complete the Attachment "1" Pre-departure Checklist and direct their team to obtain field monitoring team kit, KI and conduct inventory and equipment checks per Attachment "2" Field Monitor Kit Checklist.
4.4 As the teams assemble their equipment the AFMTC will obtain an initial briefing and the first monitoring point from the EOC.
4.5 Once the teams have completed the equipment inventory and have assembled their equipment and the initial briefing has been completed the AFMTC will inform the EOC that they are ready to be dispatched to the first monitoring location.
4.6 The teams will have aids such as a Geographic Atlas or Hagstrom Atlas or equivalent road maps, plus a Westchester RERP map and list of monitoring sites to assist in finding their monitoring locations.
4.7 While the teams are in transit they will ensure that the Eberline R02A, RO-20 survey meter or equivalent is in the "ON" position. If the instrument indicates any reading above 5mR/hr, notify the EOC immediately.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 5 08106/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams 4.8 The teams will monitor their personal exposure every 15 minutes to 30 minutes and document on their exposure card. If any team member's exposure approaches 1R notify the EOC and they may modify field activities. A default correction factor is calculated by the EOC dose assessment staff for internal dose TEDE, refer to Attachment 12.
4.9 After each radiation measurement or air sample is taken, record results on on the Sample Record (Attachment 7) and report the results to the EOC.
4.10 The teams will conduct surveys and air samples as directed by the EOC.

WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams Attachment 13 NRC REGULATORY GUIDE 8.13 INSTRUCTION CONCERNING PRENATAL RADIATION EXPOSURE A. INTRODUCTION The Code of Federal Regulations in 10 CFR Part 19, "Notices, Instructions and Reports to Workers: Inspection and Investigations." in Section 19.12, "Instructions to Workers," requires instruction in "the health protection problems associated with exposure to radiation and/or radioactive material, in precautions or procedures to minimize exposure, and in the purposes and functions of protective devices employed." The instructions must be "commensurate with potential radiological health protection problems present in the work place."
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) regulations on radiation protection are specified in 10 CFR Part 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation"; and Section 20.1208, "Dose to an Embryo/Fetus," requires licensees to "ensure that the dose to an embryo/fetus during the entire pregnancy, due to occupational exposure of a declared pregnant woman, does not exceed 0.5 rem (5 mSv)." Section 20.1208 also requires licensees to "make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly exposure rate to a declared pregnant woman." A declared pregnant woman is defined in 10 CFR 20.1003 as a woman who has voluntarily informed her employer, in writing, of her pregnancy and the estimated date of conception.
This regulatory guide is intended to provide information to pregnant women, and other personnel, to help them make decisions regarding radiation exposure during pregnancy. This Regulatory Guide 8.13 supplements Regulatory Guide 8.29.
"Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure" (Ref. 1), which contains a broad discussion of the risks from exposure to ionizing radiation.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 25 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams Other sections of the NRC's regulations also specify requirements for monitoring external and internal occupational dose to a declared pregnant woman. In 10 CFR 20.1502, "Conditions Requiring Individual Monitoring of External and Internal Occupational Dose," licensees are required to monitor the occupational dose to a declared pregnant woman, using an individual monitoring device, if it is likely that the declared pregnant woman will receive, from external sources, a deep dose equivalent in excess of 0.1 rem (1 mSv). According to Paragraph (e) of 10 CFR 20.2106, "Records of Individual Monitoring Results," the licensee must maintain records of dose to an embryo/fetus if monitoring was required, and the records of dose to the embryo/fetus must be kept with the records of dose to the declared pregnant woman.
The declaration of pregnancy must be kept on file, but may be maintained separately from the dose records. The licensee must retain the required form or record until the Commission terminates each pertinent license requiring the record.
The information collections in this regulatory guide are covered by the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 19 or 20, which were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval numbers 3150-0044 and 3150-0014, respectively. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
B. DISCUSSION As discussed in Regulatory Guide 8.29 (Ref. 1), exposure to any level of radiation is assumed to carry with it a certain amount of risk. In the absence of scientific certainty regarding the relationship between low dose exposure and health effects, and as a conservative assumption for radiation protection purposes, the scientific community generally assumes that any exposure to ionizing radiation may cause undesirable biological effects and that the likelihood of these effects increases as the dose increases. At the occupational dose limit for the whole body of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year, the risk is believed to be very low.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 26 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams The magnitude of risk of childhood cancer following in utero exposure is uncertain in that both negative and positive studies have been reported. The data from these studies "are consistent with a lifetime cancer risk resulting from exposure during gestation which is two to three times that for the adulf' (NCRP Report No. 116, Ref. 2).
The NRC has reviewed the available scientific literature and has concluded that the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) limit specified in 10 CFR 20.1208 provides an adequate margin of protection for the embryo/fetus. This dose limit reflects the desire to limit the total lifetime risk of leukemia and other cancers associated with radiation exposure during pregnancy.
In order for a pregnant worker to take advantage of the lower exposure limit and dose monitoring provisions specified in 10 CFR Part 20, the woman must declare her pregnancy in writing to the licensee. A form letter for declaring pregnancy is provided in this guide or the licensee may use its own form letter for declaring pregnancy. A separate written declaration should be submitted for each pregnancy.
C. REGULATORY POSITION
- 1. Who Should Receive Instruction Female workers who require training under 10 CFR 19.12 should be provided with the information contained in this guide. In addition to the information contained in Regulatory Guide 8.29 {Ref. 1}, this information may be included as part of the training required under 10 CFR 19.12.
- 2. Providing Instruction The occupational worker may be given a copy of this guide with its Appendix, an explanation of the contents of the guide, and an opportunity to ask questions and request additional information. The information in this guide and Appendix should also be provided to any worker or supervisor who may be affected by a declaration of pregnancy or who may have to take some action in response to such a REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 27 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams declaration.
Classroom instruction may supplement the written information. If the licensee provides classroom instruction, the instructor should have some knowledge of the biological effects of radiation to be able to answer questions that may go beyond the information provided in this guide. Videotaped presentations may be used for classroom instruction. Regardless of whether the licensee provides classroom training, the licensee should give workers the opportunity to ask questions about information contained in this Regulatory Guide 8.13. The licensee may take credit for instruction that the worker has received within the past year at other licensed facilities or in other courses or training.
- 3. Licensee's Policy on Declared Pregnant Women The instruction provided should describe the licensee's specific policy on declared pregnant women, including how those policies may affect a woman's work situation.
In particular, the instruction should include a description of the licensee's policies, if any, that may affect the declared pregnant woman's work situation after she has filed a written declaration of pregnancy consistent with 10 CFR 20.1208.
The instruction should also identify who to contact for additional information as well as identify who should receive the written declaration of pregnancy. The recipient of the woman's declaration may be identified by name (e.g., John Smith), position (e.g., immediate supervisor, the radiation safety officer), or department (e.g., the personnel department).
- 4. Duration of Lower Dose Limits for the Embryo/Fetus The lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus should remain in effect until the woman withdraws the declaration in writing or the woman is no longer pregnant. If a declaration of pregnancy is withdrawn, the dose limit for the embryo/fetus would apply only to the time from the estimated date of conception until the time the declaration is withdrawn. If the declaration is not withdrawn, the written declaration REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 28 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams may be considered expired one year after submission.
- 5. Substantial Variations Above a Uniform Monthly Dose Rate According to 10 CFR 20.1208(b), "The licensee shall make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly exposure rate to a declared pregnant woman so as to satisfy the limit in paragraph (a) of this section," that is, 0.5 rem (5 mSv) to the embryo/fetus. The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) recommends a monthly equivalent dose limit of 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) to the embryo/fetus once the pregnancy is known (Ref. 2). In view of the NCRP recommendation, any monthly dose of less than 0.1 rem (1 mSv) may be considered as not a substantial variation above a uniform monthly dose rate and as such will not require licensee justification. However, a monthly dose greater than 0.1 rem (1 mSv) should be justified by the licensee.
A. IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of this section is to provide information to licensees and applicants regarding the NRC staffs plans for using this regulatory guide.
Unless a licensee or an applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with the specified portions of the NRC's regulations, the methods described in this guide will be used by the NRC staff in the evaluation of instructions to workers on the radiation exposure of pregnant women.

APPENDIX: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING PRENATAL RADIATION EXPOSURE
- 1. Why am I receiving this information?
The NRC's regulations (in 10 CFR 19.12, "Instructions to Workers") require that licensees instruct individuals working with licensed radioactive materials in radiation protection as appropriate for the situation. The instruction below describes information that occupational workers and their supervisors should know about the radiation exposure of the embryo/fetus of pregnant women.
The regulations allow a pregnant woman to decide whether she wants to formally declare her pregnancy to take advantage of lower dose limits for the embryo/fetus.
This instruction provides information to help women make an informed decision whether to declare a pregnancy.
- 2. If I become pregnant, am I required to declare my pregnancy?
No. The choice whether to declare your pregnancy is completely voluntary. If you choose to declare your pregnancy, you must do so in writing and a lower radiation dose limit will apply to your embryo/fetus. If you choose not to declare your pregnancy, you and your embryo/fetus will continue to be subject to the same radiation dose limits that apply to other occupational workers.
- 3. If I declare my pregnancy in writing, what happens?
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 30 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams If you choose to declare your pregnancy in writing, the licensee must take measures to limit the dose to your embryo/fetus to 0.5 rem (5 millisievert) during the entire pregnancy. This is one-tenth of the dose that an occupational worker may receive in a year. If you have already received a dose exceeding 0.5 rem (5 mSv) in the period between conception and the declaration of your pregnancy, an additional dose of 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) is allowed during the remainder of the pregnancy. In addition, 10 CFR 20.1208, "Dose to an Embryo/Fetus," requires licensees to make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly dose rate so that all the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) allowed dose does not occur in a short period during the pregnancy.
This may mean that, if you declare your pregnancy, the licensee may not permit you to do some of your normal job functions if those functions would have allowed you to receive more than 0.5 rem, and you may not be able to have some emergency response responsibilities.
- 4. Why do the regulations have a lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman than for a pregnant worker who has not declared?
A lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman is based on a consideration of greater sensitivity to radiation of the embryo/fetus and the involuntary nature of the exposure. Several scientific advisory groups have recommended (References 1 and 2) that the dose to the embryo/fetus be limited to a fraction of the occupational dose limit.
- 5. What are the potentially harmful effects of radiation exposure to my embryo/fetus?
The occurrence and severity of health effects caused by ionizing radiation are dependent upon the type and total dose of radiation received, as well as the time period over which the exposure was received. See Regulatory Guide 8.29, REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 31 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Exposure" (Ref. 3), for more information. The main concern is embryo/fetal susceptibility to the harmful effects of radiation such as cancer.
- 6. Are there any risks of genetic defects?
Although radiation injury has been induced experimentally in rodents and insects, and in the experiments was transmitted and became manifest as hereditary disorders in their offspring, radiation has not been identified as a cause of such effect in humans. Therefore, the risk of genetic effects attributable to radiation exposure is speculative. For example, no genetic effects have been documented in any of the Japanese atomic bomb survivors, their children, or their grandchildren.
- 7. What if I decide that I do not want any radiation exposure at all during my pregnancy?
You may ask your employer for a job that does not involve any exposure at all to occupational radiation dose, but your employer is not obligated to provide you with a job involving no radiation exposure. Even if you receive no occupational exposure at all, your embryo/fetus will receive some radiation dose (on average 75 mrem (0.75 mSv>> during your pregnancy from natural background radiation.
The NRC has reviewed the available scientific literature and concluded that the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) limit provides an adequate margin of protection for the embryo/fetus.
This dose limit reflects the desire to limit the total lifetime risk of leukemia and other cancers. If this dose limit is exceeded, the total lifetime risk of cancer to the embryo/fetus may increase incrementally. However, the decision on what level of risk to accept is yours. More detailed information on potential risk to the embryo/fetus from radiation exposure can be found in References 2-10.

- 8. What effect will formally declaring my pregnancy have on my job status?
Only the licensee can tell you what effect a written declaration of pregnancy will have on your job status. As part of your radiation safety training, the licensee should tell you the company's policies with respect to the job status of declared pregnant women. In addition, before you declare your pregnancy, you may want to talk to your supervisor or your radiation safety officer and ask what a declaration of pregnancy would mean specifically for you and your job status.
In many cases you can continue in your present job with no change and still meet the dose limit for the embryo/fetus. For example, most commercial power reactor workers (approximately 93%) receive, in 12 months, occupational radiation doses that are less than 0.5 rem (5 mSv) (Ref. 11). The licensee may also consider the likelihood of increased radiation exposures from accidents and abnormal events before making a decision to allow you to continue in your present job.
If your current work might cause the dose to your embryo/fetus to exceed 0.5 rem (5 mSv), the licensee has various options. It is possible that the licensee can and will make a reasonable accommodation that will allow you to continue performing your current job, for example, by having another qualified employee do a small part of the job that accounts for some of your radiation exposure.
- 9. What information must I provide in my written declaration of pregnancy?
You should provide, in writing, your name, a declaration that you are pregnant, the estimated date of conception (only the month and year need be given), and the date that you give the letter to the licensee. A form letter that you can use is included at the end of these questions and answers. You may use that letter, use a form letter the licensee has provided to you, or write your own letter.
- 10. To declare my pregnancy, do I have to have documented medical proof that I am REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 33 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams pregnant?
NRC regulations do not require that you provide medical proof of your pregnancy.
However, NRC regulations do not preclude the licensee from requesting medical documentation of your pregnancy, especially if a change in your duties is necessary in order to comply with the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) dose limit.
- 11. Can I tell the licensee orally rather than in writing that I am pregnant?
No. The regulations require that the declaration must be in writing.
- 12. If I have not declared my pregnancy in writing, but the licensee suspects that I am pregnant, do the lower dose limits apply?
No. The lower dose limits for pregnant women apply only if you have declared your pregnancy in writing. The United States Supreme Court has ruled (in United Automobile Workers International Union v. Johnson Controls, Inc., 1991) that "Decisions about the welfare of future children must be left to the parents who conceive, bear, support, and raise them rather than to the employers who hire those parents" (Reference 7). The Supreme Court also ruled that your employer may not restrict you from a specific job "because of concerns about the next generation." Thus, the lower limits apply only if you choose to declare your pregnancy in writing.
- 13. If I am planning to become pregnant but am not yet pregnant and I inform the licensee of that in writing, do the lower dose limits apply?
No. The requirement for lower limits applies only if you declare in writing that you are already pregnant.
- 14. What if I have a miscarriage or find out that I am not pregnant?
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 34 08/06/10
WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.2 Field Monitoring Teams If you have declared your pregnancy in writing, you should promptly inform the licensee in writing that you are no longer pregnant. However, if you have not formally declared your pregnancy in writing, you need not inform the licensee of your non-pregnant status.
- 15. How long is the lower dose limit in effect?
The dose to the embryo/fetus must be limited until you withdraw your declaration in writing or you inform the licensee in writing that you are no longer pregnant. If the declaration is not withdrawn, the written declaration may be considered expired one year after submission.
- 16. If I have declared my pregnancy in writing, can I revoke my declaration of pregnancy even if I am still pregnant?
Yes, you may. The choice is entirely yours. If you revoke your declaration of pregnancy, the lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus no longer applies.
- 17. What if I work under contract at a licensed facility?
The regulations state that you should formally declare your pregnancy to the licensee in writing. The licensee has the responsibility to limit the dose to the embryo/fetus.
- 18. Where can I get additional information?
The references to this Appendix contain helpful information, especially Reference 3, NRC's Regulatory Guide 8.29, "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure," for general information on radiation risks. The licensee should be able to give this document to you.
