POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 1.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 26 May 9, 2003 INTRODUCTION 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of the Emergency Plan is to describe an organization for managing emergency situations, to classify emergencies according to severity, to define and assign responsibilities and authorities, to clearly outline an effective course of action and protective measures required to mitigate the consequences of an accident, and to safeguard the public and plant personnel in the event of an accident at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP). Detailed Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) required to implement the Emergency Plan have been developed and are available for use at the plant site. These procedures take into account such items as radiation hazards, weather conditions, and availability of technical and operating personnel, communications links, and support agencies.
2.0 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY This Emergency Plan is applicable to the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. The plant is owned by the We Energies (We), operated by the Nuclear Management Company (NMC), 700 First Street, Hudson, WI 54016, and located at 6610 Nuclear Road, Two Rivers, WI 54241. The Emergency Plan describes advance planning elements and the provisions and implementing procedures developed for emergency situations. The EPIPs for this Plan consist of the procedures used by responding personnel in emergency situations. Other plant procedures that play a role in emergency situations include plant operating, emergency operating, radiological control, security, and administrative procedures. These procedures are compatible with the Plan and will be used to mitigate the consequences of any emergency.
The interrelationships among the various elements of onsite emergency response and the elements of offsite emergency response are described in this Emergency Plan along with the appropriate federal, state, and local agencies participating in radiological emergencies.
3.0 GENERAL PBNP recognizes the fact that periodically there will be differences between this Emergency Plan and the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. The Emergency Plan is the guiding document to which the procedures are written. The Plan describes the organization, emergency measures, facilities, training, etc., of the PBNP Emergency Preparedness Program. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures more accurately reflect how a particular situation will be addressed, how personnel will be assigned, how equipment will be placed, etc.
As long as differences of specific implementing procedures do not change the intent or commitment of the Plan, the procedures will reflect the actual plant activity or commitment, and the Plan will not be revised until the next annual review.

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES 1.0 DISCUSSION Emergency measures begin with the identification and classification of an emergency and the activation of the appropriate emergency organization. Emergencies are classified in four distinct classes. Definitions for each class, criteria for classifying emergency situations, and examples of emergencies falling in each class are described in EP 4.0. The initial corrective and protective actions are recommended. The details of these various emergency measures are contained in the plant's EPIPs. A general outline of the method and format is presented here.
2.0 ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION The four classes of emergencies defined in EP 4.0, Sections 1.1 through 1.4 require a varying degree and scope of emergency response. The emergency organizations for each class are depicted in Figures 5-3 through 5-5 of EP 5.0. These figures have been designed to show titles of emergency personnel and the places to which they report during each classification of emergency. The function and responsibilities of these personnel are more fully described in Appendix A.
The various emergency classifications can occur individually or in some order of progression over a period of time. The onsite emergency organization will be activated when the emergency is announced on the public address (Gai-tronics) system. The public address announcement will include the location and the classification of the emergency. Initially, the emergency organization will consist of the normal operating shift personnel who are qualified as emergency team members. Additional emergency team members and plant staff personnel are readily available during normal working hours and on a call-in basis during other than normal working hours. Activation of offsite emergency organizations will be accomplished in accordance with the severity of the emergency class. EPIPs provide predetermined message formats for notification of offsite agencies, in conjunction with an established message authentication scheme for each emergency classification. The overall offsite notification of supporting groups and agencies is shown in EP 5.0, Figure 5-7.
Page 1 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES 3.0 ASSESSMENT ACTIONS 3.1 Responsibility for Assessment Effective coordination and direction of all elements of the emergency organization require continuing assessment throughout the emergency. The assessment of plant conditions, radiation levels, and offsite consequences is initially coordinated by the Shift Manager (SM). The Shift Manager is in direct charge of all emergency operations.
The assessment of emergencies can usually be accomplished by the normal operating shift under the direction of the Shift Manager. However, other members of the plant staff, including the use of the emergency response organization as described in EP 5.0, Section 3.0, will be called upon as required. Technical services and support will be obtained from the combination of NMC and We Energies corporate personnel (as outlined in the NPPOSA), plant staff, and outside support organizations as necessary and appropriate.
The SM shall conduct a formal turnover of all responsibilities to the Emergency Director who will assume the overall management of the event and all key non-delegable responsibilities. The TSC Manager and EOF Manager are responsible for input to the classification and Protective Action Recommendation process.
Should any emergency progress to core damage, Emergency Operating Procedures will be exited and plant response will be in accordance with Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMG). Decision-making responsibilities for plant response will shift to the TSC. Several ERO positions have been designated as SAMG Evaluators or Decision-Makers. Operations personnel perform the SAMG function of Implementor.
3.2 Types of Assessment Actions The different types of assessment actions are described in Table 6-1. The details of the assessment function are incorporated in the EPIPs for each emergency classification.
'Continued assessment will be performed as required, with updating of offsite response agencies. In addition, the results may require additional notifications, emergency actions, or reclassification of the accident.
Page 2 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES 3.3 Methods of Assessment Accidents involving releases of radioactive materials to the environment require special methods of assessment to ensure that responses are appropriate for the protection of the population-at-risk as well as plant personnel. The plant has an extensive system for monitoring radioactive materials released to the environment (e.g., liquid process, containment purge exhaust and auxiliary building ventilation exhaust, air ejector vent monitors). As a general requirement, the various process monitors are capable of initiating appropriate alarms or actuating control equipment to provide containment of radioactive materials if pre-established limits are reached. These systems will allow for monitoring releases of radioactivity during accident conditions. In any accident condition where releases are not monitored or able to be monitored, emergency procedures provide the basis for calculating theoretical worst-case release rates corresponding to a design basis accident described in the PBNP FSAR.
In addition, the site has a permanent meteorological installation so that wind speed and direction, standard deviation of wind direction as well as change of temperature with height, are recorded continuously in the Control Room. Wind speed, direction, and standard deviation of wind direction are also available from a backup tower on site and from an inland tower located several miles west of PBNP. The inland tower is used to identify lake effect winds. In the event the above instrumentation is inaccessible or inoperative, such information can be obtained from Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant, the local Coast Guard Station, or the National Weather Service in Green Bay.
The methodology and technique used to predict the offsite concentration of radioactive noble gases and iodine are as follows:
On determination of any emergency or potential emergency condition anticipated to have significant offsite dose consequences, a procedure is initiated to project doses. The Emergency Director is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate EPIPs are performed.
These concentration levels will be verified by offsite field monitoring teams deployed with portable radiological measurement and communications equipment. This information will aid state and local authorities in evaluating emergency action responses.

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES 4.0 CORRECTIVE ACTIONS Plant procedures contain steps to take corrective actions in order to avoid or mitigate serious consequences. Operator training is a vital factor in ensuring that corrective actions are taken in an expeditious manner. The instrumentation, control system monitors, and radiation monitoring system provide indications used by the operators to regulate systems necessary for the safe and proper operation of the plant.
These systems provide the operator with the information and controls needed to start up, operate at power, and shut down the plant. The systems also provide the means to cope with abnormal operating conditions should they occur. Control of systems and display of information from these various systems are centralized in the Control Room. This instrumentation provides a basis for initiation of corrective actions.
When necessary, the following additional corrective actions can be implemented during emergency situations:
4.1 Fire Fighting Detailed procedures for responding to fire situations are defined in the PBNP Fire Protection Manual. The Fire Protection Manual describes detailed instructions on fire protection and fire fighting with the fire protection organization and individual responsibilities. If outside assistance is needed, the Two Creeks Fire Department is called in to assist in extinguishing the fire.
4.2 Damage Control and Repair For minor emergencies, the plant personnel will normally be able to handle the cleanup, repair, and damage control. For major emergencies, the support of other company personnel or specialized outside contractors may be required to assist in the damage control, cleanup, and repair operation. Emergency response operations will be handled with the assistance of agencies available for that purpose.
Exposure to personnel during corrective actions should be controlled as stipulated in EP 6.0, Section 6.1.
Page 4 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES 5.0 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS The EPIP used in classifying emergencies has predetermined EALs that, when met or exceeded, will require protective actions to be taken. In addition, the Shift Manager may initiate EPIPs when they are determined to be necessary. EPIPs include assessment actions, corrective actions, and protective actions as appropriate. Protective actions will ensure that personnel, both on and offsite, will be notified and actions initiated for their protection in the event radiation or airborne activity levels from a radiological emergency onsite exceed or are predicted to exceed predetermined values, or when other situations threaten personnel safety.
Protective actions taken within the exclusion and protected area (onsite) are the responsibility of the SM and TSC Manager with input from the Operations Coordinator, while those taken offsite fall under the jurisdiction of Wisconsin Emergency Management with the resources of the State Division of Health and Family Services, Radiation Protection Unit, and the Manitowoc and Kewaunee County Emergency Managements. Recommendations of protective actions to be taken offsite will be made only by the Emergency Director. It is recognized that at the beginning of an emergency evolution, the Shift Manager will have the responsibility and authority of the Emergency Director.
5.1 Protective Actions. Evacuation, and Personnel Accountabilitv This subsection provides for the timely relocation of individuals to prevent or minimize exposure to direct or airbome radiation hazardous chemicals hazards.
5.1.1 Exclusion Area
- a. Exclusion Area Criteria Protective actions for personnel onsite will be taken when a radiological emergency has occurred, or may occur, which will result in concentrations of airborne activity or radiation levels that exceed normal limits for a specific area or areas and cannot be readily controlled. In addition, protective actions will be taken for onsite personnel in such situations as chemical release, fire, meteorological danger, etc., where personnel safety is threatened.
Page 5 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES
- b. Notification and Response Time The actuation of fire alarms, radiation alarms, plant evacuation alarm, telephone calls, paging system, and public address (Gai-tronics) announcements, as applicable, will alert onsite personnel to hazardous conditions and to actions they must take. Such actions may be to assemble in emergency teams, to report to assembly areas, to evacuate specific areas within the plant, or to evacuate the plant. Table 6-2 describes the assembly areas for onsite personnel (which could include plant personnel, contractor personnel, and visitors) to protect them from direct radiation or airborne hazards according to evacuation classification. The means and time required to notify the above personnel are delineated as follows:
approximately two minutes are required in the Control Room to determine that an accident has occurred. In addition, it is conservatively estimated that eight minutes are required to determine local severity of the accident.
Indications of importance for identification and assessment include pressurizer pressure, pressurizer level, containment pressure, and automatic initiation of safety injection. Therefore, the best estimate for initial notification of onsite personnel would be approximately 10 minutes or greater, depending on instrumentation response and assessment capability at the time of the incident. It is important to note that most credible accidents in a nuclear power plant develop slowly and "defense-in-depth" concepts delay the release of significant amounts of radioactivity.
- c. Security and Site Access Control The security program at PBNP is designed to deter, detect, and delay an intruder. The plant protected area is enclosed by a standard security fence.
Plant personnel reporting to the plant during an emergency will report via the SBCC or the appropriate gatehouse. Security personnel will control access, log incoming personnel, and provide assistance, as required or requested. In the event these areas are uninhabitable, security control will be performed at the site boundary.
Provisions to restrict access to areas of the site outside the fenced protected area will be accomplished under the direction of the Security Shift Commander. The Security Shift Commander will assign a security force to control access to the plant property by barricading and manning the site roads with appropriate placement of lights, chains, traffic cones, padlocks, and gates. Access control will be performed with the aid and cooperation of the Manitowoc County Sheriffs Department, as well as assistance from the Wisconsin State Patrol.
Plant security procedures are found in the PBNP Security Plan.
Page 6 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES
- d. Assembly, Release and Evacuation Personnel assembly,-release, and evacuation at PBNP will depend on the nature of the emergency and the extent of the area affected. The Shift Manager, or the TSC Manager if the TSC is activated, will initiate any limited plant evacuation or full-site assembly, release, and/or evacuations.
These protective actions will be made after careful consideration of the benefits and risks involved. The details of this process for the responsibilities and functions of plant personnel and contractors within the protected area and exclusion area are included in the EPIPs. In general, these protective actions will be in accordance with the following guidelines:
- 1. A limited plant evacuation will be considered when any of the following conditions exist:
(a) Unscheduled area radiation monitor high-level alarm.
(b) Conditions which indicate a valid containment alarm is necessary.
(c) Unevaluated airborne radioactive concentrations in excess of the derived air concentrations (DACs) specified in Appendix B to 10 CFR 20.
(d) Excessive radioactive surface contamination levels (RP personnel may require evacuation of rooms, areas, or the affected portions thereof).
(e) Other emergency conditions, such as fire, or chemical release that may endanger human life or health.
The criteria for these radiation levels and alarms do not apply to anticipated increases or alarms resulting from planned operations.
When a limited plant evacuation is ordered, personnel in the room, area, or building will proceed in accordance with the EPIPs, or as directed over the public address system. If evacuation is from areas within the RCA, personnel will proceed to the RP station for accountability and radiation monitoring.
Page 7 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES
- 2. A plant and exclusion area assembly, release, or evacuation will be considered when the conditions that require a limited plant evacuation are not confined to a building of the plant, or when general area radiation levels outside of the radiation controlled area exceed prescribed limits. In addition, these protective actions could be initiated following a limited plant evacuation if a hazard continues to increase in severity or spreads to other areas and the Shift Manager or TSC Manager deems it necessary to assemble personnel from the plant. An assembly and release or evacuation will also be ordered upon the classification of a Site or General Emergency. When a plant and exclusion area assembly, release or evacuation is ordered, personnel will proceed as follows:
(a) Public visitors on the beach, fishing pier, and Energy Center will proceed to the SBCC.
(b) Duty Shift operations personnel will report immediately to the Control Room and remain there until instructed otherwise.
(c) Personnel with assigned emergency duties shall proceed to their pre-assigned emergency response facility.
(d) Plant personnel, NMC and We Energies Corporate personnel, contractors, temporary employees, and visitors who are inside the protected area but do not have an emergency assignment will proceed to designated assembly areas in (Table 6-2).
(e) Plant personnel, NMC and We Energies corporate personnel, contractors, temporary employees and visitors who are but outside the protected area should proceed to the nearest assembly area in Table 6.2 unless directed otherwise by Security personnel.
At the discretion of the TSC Manager, the assembled non-essential personnel will be:
(a) Released from the site when chemical or constraints radiological are not present.
(b) Evacuated from the site when radiological conditions are present and additional actions, such as radiological monitoring and relocation, are required.
- 3. Evacuation of a specific emergency response facility (ERF) will be considered when habitability of that facility is questionable or the facility is considered to be unfit to support its function.
Page 8 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES
- e. Personnel Accountability Personnel accountability will be conducted at a Site Emergency or higher and is the responsibility of plant supervision and Security with the coordination of the Security Coordinator. During an emergency situation which requires personnel in the plant to assemble in the various assembly areas, management personnel should help assure that all their personnel are accounted for. This accountability should take no longer than 30 minutes. The Security Supervisor will verify complete accountability using the security computer or the manual accountability procedure, and will forward this information to the TSC. If the TSC is not activated, this information will be forwarded to the Shift Manager. If personnel are unaccounted for, teams will be dispatched to locate and, if necessary, rescue the personnel. Personnel accountability procedures are included in the EPIPs.
- f. Monitoring Personnel Evacuated From Site All individuals within the protected area of the plant, who have controlled zone access, are required to have in their possession personnel monitoring devices capable of measuring the dose received from external sources of ionizing radiation. These devices consist of thermo luminescent dosimeter (TLD) for permanent record and/or a self-reading dosimeter (SRD) or electronic personnel dosimeter (EPD) for day-to-day indication of external radiation exposures. For personnel not routinely monitored by TLD/SRD/EPD, the potential for exposure to external sources of ionizing radiation within the protected area is monitored through the use of paired TLDs located throughout the plant. Non-monitored plant personnel will be issued radiation monitoring devices when their services are required during an emergency. A combination of checking SRDs/EPDs and questioning of evacuees will be used to determine if there were any significant external exposures involved in the emergency. For any known or suspected overexposures, the TLDs will be read as soon as possible, and further investigation will be conducted to determine the amount of exposure and the necessary action to be taken.
If normal contamination control is not possible, monitoring for contamination and internal exposure at the OSRPF and OSC will be accomplished by using portable instrumentation and questioning attitudes.
Any persons suspected or known to have ingested or inhaled radioactive material will be whole body counted to assess internal exposure as soon as conditions permit.

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES 5.1.2 Offsite Area
- a. Action Criteria Required protective actions for offsite areas are discussed in the state and local plans. As mentioned, the plant shall classify the accident (EP 4.0, Section 1.0 and Table 4-1) and notify the federal, state, and local authorities. The state plan has adopted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Protective Action Guides for initiating actions to protect public health and safety. The local communities and state agencies have detailed plans for activating their agencies, taking various protective actions, and performing social services. Plant recommendations of protective actions for people offsite will come from the Emergency Director.
The criteria for recommending protective action strategies to be taken in areas beyond the plant exclusion area encompass a number of factors and considerations. The determination of what emergency protective actions
.should be implemented in any given accident situation must be based on the actual plant conditions that exist or that are projected at the time of the accident, with the consideration of weather conditions, local protection factors for typical residential units, evacuation times, release potential, and' projected or potential doses. Therefore, the effective means in utilizing and applying protective actions in the event of an accident is an important consideration to reduce radiation exposure to the general public.
Protective Actions for the public beyond the site boundary would apply to a radius of two miles in all directions from the plant and a larger radius of 5 miles from the plant in a sector greater than 600 (up to 3600) centered on the average downwind direction.
There are various types of protective actions that can be implemented by the state and counties which include the following:
- 1. Population sheltering
- 2. Evacuation
- 3. Controlling food, milk, and water distribution Page 10 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES
- 4. Prophylaxis (e.g., thyroid protection)
- 5. Individual protective actions (e.g., respiratory protection equipment and protective clothing)
Table 6-3 lists protective actions that may be recommended for various accident phases and approximate time periods as a function-of exposure pathways following an initiation of an accident. This information should be useful for appropriate state and local agencies in making value judgments that are necessary to plan actions in limiting the radiation exposure to the general public during an emergency at PBNP.
(a) Sheltering and Evacuation Protective actions such as sheltering and evacuation can provide protection for the public against exposure to gaseous radioactive fission products released during an accident at PBNP. Evacuation of the population in the plume exposure pathway to minimize public exposure to a passing radioactive cloud could be potentially 100% effective. However, the protective action of population sheltering may be more appropriate at the time of the accident with the consideration of such factors as weather conditions, wind direction, roadway conditions, duration and type of exposure, and projected or potential doses to the population. Although the State of Wisconsin and the counties could implement sheltering, and because sheltering has different meanings for NRC and FEMA, Point Beach Nuclear Plant will only recommend evacuation as a protective action for the public.
(b) Shielding Shielding estimates for several distinct building types have been made by using currently available shielding technology.
Table 6-4 through Table 6-6 present these estimates and indicate the wide range of potential shielding factors afforded by normally inhabited structures, and that basements of both homes and large buildings offer very effective shielding against radiation. The shielding effectiveness of a structure is expressed in terms of a shielding factor which is the ratio of the dose received inside the structure to the dose that would be received outside the structure. The benefits of population sheltering can be maximized by recommending that windows and doors of homes be closed and sealed, and ventilation systems turned off to minimize the turnover rate of air within the building.
Page I I of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES (c) Exposure Pathways If there were an atmospheric release of radioactive materials, doses to the public could occur by external radiation as the cloud passes, by exposure to external radiation from radionuclides deposited on the ground and other surfaces, or by internal exposure due to inhalation or ingestion of radionuclides. Levels in excess of accepted protective action guides would generally occur closer to the source so that the protective actions could be recommended on a two-phased approach. The first phase would be to evacuate those individuals in these closer areas (i.e., within a 2-mile radius),
while the second phase could be a recommendation to take shelter and institute food, water, and milk control since the need for evacuation versus sheltering in the 2- to 10-nile area may not be evident. However, beyond 10 miles, there is little apparent distinction between the effectiveness of evacuation and sheltering in terms of mininizing projected health effects.*
The protective actions discussed above are only a few of the alternate courses of action which could be taken in a radiological emergency.
- b. Company Responsibilities During an Offsite Emergency The responsibilities of the Company during an offsite emergency include the following:
- 1. To provide the best possible effort to resolve the emergency onsite and thus alleviate the offsite conditions.
- 2. To notify participating agencies in accordance with EP 5.0, Figure 5-7. In addition, the Company will provide the best possible information, protective action recommendations (PARs), and support services to these agencies.
- 3. To coordinate the Company's action with those of federal, state, and local agencies involved.
- 4. In some unlikely cases, it is possible for a radiological release to exceed the 10-mile EPZ. In such cases, additional PARs could be issued and tracking support provided if the counties so desire.

- c. Participating Agency Responsibilities Participating agency responsibilities are denoted in EP 5.0, Section 5.0 and are further explained in the letters of agreement referenced in Appendix D.
- d. Notification and Response Time Notification of businesses, property owners and tenants, school administrators, recreation facility operators, and the general public within the EPZs will be accomplished by local and state authorities as described in their response plans. An integrated siren system and the Emergency Alerting System (EAS) will be used to notify the general public of an emergency requiring protective action. The State of Wisconsin has the responsibility of determining public protective actions and coordinating the activation of the integrated siren system with the local county agencies.
The counties have the responsibility to activate the sirens at the predetermined time and to disseminate EAS messages to the public which are consistent with the protective action recommendations made by the state of Wisconsin. These messages will include protective action instructions as well as general information concerning emergencies. The siren system controls are operated by the Sheriffs Dispatch of Manitowoc and Kewaunee counties. The siren system operability is tested routinely.
The details of the means and the times to evacuate the above persons are discussed in Appendix J.
5.2 Onsite Protective Equipment and Supplies Protective equipment and supplies, as presented in Table 6-7, will be used to minimize
- external and internal radiological exposure and contamination to individuals on and offsite. Typical emergency equipment lists are located in the EPMPs and referenced in Appendix H. Detailed procedures on the use of protective equipment and supplies are incorporated in the Radiation Protection Manuals and the EPIPs (see Appendix I).
Page 13 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES 5.3 Contamination Control Measures 5.3.1 Exclusion Area Measures are taken on a continual basis to prevent or minimize direct exposure to or ingestion of radioactive materials within the onsite areas of the exclusion area. The details of the contamination control measures for onsite areas are contained in the Radiation Protection procedures at the plant. The following is a brief outline of these procedures:
- a. Controls have been established at the plant to minimize and control the spread of contamination.
- b. All tools and equipment used in radiologically controlled areas are checked for contamination before being taken from the radiologically controlled area. If the item is found to be contaminated and decontamination is not practical, the item remains controlled. Equipment and tools are unconditionally released for use outside the radiologically controlled areas if the items are free from detectable radioactive contamination. (Ref. NP 4.2.25)
- c. Removal of material and equipment from an RCA with radiation and contamination levels in excess of the allowable limits must be approved for "conditional" release by Radiation Protection (RP) personnel. Any item approved for "conditional" release will be packaged, sealed, labeled, and handled in accordance with applicable regulations to prevent the
- release of any contamination. (Ref. NP 4.2.25)
- d. Personnel working within a radiologically controlled area are periodically monitored by RP personnel. Radiation work permits (RWPs) are required for all personnel working in radiologically controlled areas. Specific instructions, precautions, and limitations are listed on the RWP. (Ref. NP 4.2.20)
- e. Individuals leaving the RCA are to monitor themselves for contamination before entering the clean area of the plant. (Ref. NP4.2.19)
Page 14 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES
- f. The accumulation of radionuclides in the body shall not exceed that which would result from exposure to the derived air concentrations (DACs) of radionuclides in air or drinking water for occupational exposure as indicated in 10 CFR 20.1201. In general, exposure to airborne concentrations higher than the DACs are prevented or avoided to the extent practicable. If exposures are necessary, the wearing of appropriate, properly fitted, respiratory protective equipment may be required as determined by an RP supervisor. Periodic air samples are taken in selected operational and work areas to ensure that DAC levels are not exceeded.
- g. Decontamination following a radiological emergency will be conducted in accordance with approved EPIPs or approved routine RP procedures or practices.
5.3.2 Offsite For areas beyond the exclusion area, Wisconsin Emergency Management and the Division of Health and Family Services, Radiation Protection Section, are responsible for assessment and evaluation and will determine protective actions to be taken within the EPZs. The State of Wisconsin Radiological Response Team(s) will identify levels and control access within the affected area. Other State agencies shall take actions, as necessary, under the direction of the Administrator of the Wisconsin Emergency Management, to assess and control the dairy and agricultural products within the affected area. In addition, the Administrator of the Wisconsin Emergency Management, along with principal supportive State agencies, will provide advisory information regarding the use of potentially affected home food and water supplies throughout the EPZ. These State agencies will also be responsible for ensuring that contamination levels are below the established criteria before normal use is restored.
Table 6-8 provides guidelines and recommendations for use by appropriate State and local agencies involved with response planning. This includes radiation protection activities involving protection against ingestion of contamination from the release of radioactivity to the environment. This table describes action levels and recommended protective actions for ground, food, milk, and water contamination control.
Page 15 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES 6.0 AID TO AFFECTED PERSONNEL Provisions have been made to assist personnel who are injured or have received high radiation exposures. Many plant employees and some contractor personnel are trained in first aid and radiation protection procedures. First aid and decontamination facilities are available onsite and offsite, and necessary transportation services are also available. The following subsections describe measures to be used to provide any necessary assistance.
6.1 Emergency Personnel Exposure Criteria Personnel permanently employed at PBNP with access to the radiologically controlled area are issued a thermo luminescent dosimeter (TLD) and a self-reading dosimeter (SRD) or electronic personnel dosimeter (EPD). Normal operating procedures require that a TLD and SRD or EPD are worn when inside the radiologically controlled area. These requirements ensure that plant personnel will have a monitoring device in the event of any plant emergency when in the RCA. For personnel not routinely monitored by TLD and SRD or EPD, the potential for exposure to external sources of ionizing radiation within the protected area is monitored through the use of paired TLDs located throughout the plant. It is the responsibility of RP personnel to ensure issuance of personnel monitoring devices to personnel whose services may be utilized during an emergency. Personnel monitoring devices are available at the RP station, gatehouses, TSC/OSC, and the EOF/OSRPF.-
In all situations, every reasonable effort will be made to minimize exposure to emergency personnel. In the event of injuries, fires, or minor radiation incidents, the limits set forth in 10 CFR 20.1201 shall apply. In addition, the routine PBNP administrative radiation dose levels will be observed. These levels are summarized in Table 6-9. In the event of major radiation emergencies, Radiation Protection supervision may authorize emergency workers to receive up to the limits outlined in 10 CFR 20.1201. The Rad/Chem Coordinator and respective OSC Leaders are responsible to carefully control exposure to emergency workers in excess of occupational limits.
In some situations, it is possible that certain activities or duties for the protection of persons or the substantial protection of property may result in doses in excess of 10 CFR 20.1201. When circumstances do not allow time for planned actions, the Emergency Director (SM) has the authority to take immediate actions as required. When circumstances allow for planned actions, the Emergency Director will authorize the dose extension based on recommendations from the Rad/Chem Coordinator or Dose/PAR Coordinator.
Page 16 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES Decisions to accept doses in excess of occupational limits will be on a volunteer basis and approved by the Emergency Director, based on the recommendation of the Rad/Chem Coordinator or Dose/PAR Coordinator. The prospective volunteer shall be made aware of the risks. Whole body doses in the order of 100-200 rem may result in radiation sickness, and whole body doses in excess of 300 rem involve a risk of fatality to 50% of those exposed, if medical treatment is not provided. Individuals exposed to more than 25 rem to the whole body shall be removed from further emergency duty and referred to a physician for evaluation.
The emergency exposure criteria for non-plant personnel and volunteers involved in providing first aid, decontamination, ambulance service, and medical treatment to injured persons shall be limited to the following criteria:
6.1.1 In the event of injuries, fires, or minor radiation incidents:
- a. Non-plant personnel (except medical and fire personnel) are evacuated from the area and denied reentry.
- b. Medical and fire personnel may be exposed to the administrative levels specified in Table 6-9 and, if warranted, the limits specified in 10 CFR 20.
6.1.2 In the event of a major radiation emergency such as some Site Emergencies, the provisions of emergency exposure criteria that were set for plant personnel shall be applied to assisting non-plant personnel in the emergency response effort. When an assisting agency, e.g., DOE Region V Radiological Assistance Team or State of Wisconsin Radiation Protection Section, has its own emergency plan, the provisions of that agency's plan shall apply to that agency's personnel.
6.1.3 Emergency Exposure Criteria for Airborne Concentrations In the event of an emergency, exposure to airborne concentrations of radioactivity shall be limited by the following:
- a. In the event of injuries, fires, or minor radiation incidents, routine administrative dose levels apply. The accumulation of radionuclides in the body should not exceed that which would result from exposure to the DACs of radionuclides in air for occupational exposure as indicated in 10 CFR 20.1201.
Respiratory protection and stable iodine shall be used whenever appropriate to control inhalation doses. (See Section 6.5 for details on administering thyroid-blocking agents.)
Limits for exposure to Xe-133 and other noble gases are based on beta plus gamma dose limits to the skin.
Page 17 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES
- b. In the event of a major radiation emergency such as some Site Emergencies, eXposure to airborne concentrations of radioactivity shall be limited by the following:
- 1. Whenever practicable, the total exposure of any individual during an emergency should be limited to the limits allowed in 10 CFR 20.1201. If external radiation fields are low, the total exposure of any individual should be limited to 2000 DAC-hours.
DAC-hours are calculated by multiplying the concentration in terms of the number of DACs by the total tine of exposure.
- 2. In the event emergency operations demand life-saving or rescue actions and external radiation fields are low; individuals may be allowed exposures of 10,000 DAC-hours. If external radiation fields are not minimal, the sum of the extemal and internal doses should be limited to 25 rem. One DAC-hour may be considered equivalent to 2.5 millirem. Exposures above 2000 DAC-hours should be received only with the approval of the Emergency Director.
- 3. Respiratory protection and stable iodine shall be used whenever appropriate to control inhalation doses. (Also, see Section 6.5 for details on administering thyroid-blocking agents.)
- 5. It is the responsibility of all plant personnel, the respective OSC Leaders and the Rad/Chem Coordinator to carefully control the exposure permitted by 1 and 2 above.
- 6. Personnel who have been exposed to more than 10,000 DAC-hours shall be removed from further emergency duty and referred to a physician for evaluation.
6.1.4 Exposure Records and Control Exposure records and forms for emergency workers are maintained for plant personnel at the South Service Building, OSC and OSRPF. This information will be utilized to determine emergency team assignments. It is the responsibility of the Rad/Chem Coordinator, Dose/PAR Coordinator, and their designated personnel to establish and maintain the personnel monitoring program during emergency situations.
Provisions for establishing an emergency dosimeter service within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> are provided, as is distribution of self-reading dosimeters or EPDs to determine doses received by emergency personnel. Detailed procedures for personnel monitoring are included in the EPIPs (see Appendix 1).
Page 18 of 33
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES 6.2 Decontamination and First Aid Facilities and supplies for decontaminating personnel are available at the RP station, OSC, and OSRPF. All personnel leaving the RCA or leaving a contaminated area will be monitored for contamination. During emergencies, other onsite personnel will be checked for contamination as necessary. Measures will be taken to minimize the spread of contamination.
Such measures may include isolating affected areas, placing contaminated personnel in clean protective clothing before moving, and decontaminating personnel, their clothing, and equipment prior to release. Personnel found to be contaminated will be-decontaminated under the direction of RP personnel.
Emergency first aid and medical treatment will be given to injured or ill personnel.
Onshift personnel trained in first-aid are available onsite, 24 hour-per-day, and will assist injured or ill personnel either at the scene of the accident or in the first-aid room. If personnel must be transported to medical facilities, measures will be taken to prevent the spread of contamination if present. Such measures may include the placing of affected personnel in clean protective clothing or wrapping in blankets. Inform the organizations who will provide the transportation and treatment. The plant maintains an onsite first-aid room located in the Extension Building. The first-aid room is equipped with facilities suitable for the temporary care of a victim of an accident or illness until the services of a physician or transport can be obtained. Additional first-aid supplies are available at the following locations: gatehouses, turbine building, switchyard, Unit 1 and Unit 2 facades, EOF, TSC, RCA checkpoint, Control Room, Sewage Treatment Plant and RCA Maintenance Shop.
6.3 Medical Transportation In the event that offsite emergency medical transportation is required, the Manitowoc County Sheriff's dispatcher will be called. The dispatcher will determine who should respond to the emergency. Normally, the Mishicot emergency vehicle will respond first.
If the Mishicot emergency vehicle is unavailable, the City of Two Rivers Fire Department emergency vehicle will respond.

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES 6.4 Medical Treatment Arrangements have been made with Aurora Medical Center - Manitowoc County-for treatment of personnel working at PBNP. Hospital personnel have been instructed and trained with regard to treating potentially contaminated patients. In addition, arrangements have been made with-two area physicians that maintain a medical affiliation with the Aurora Medical Center - Manitowoc County for the medical treatment of potentially contaminated personnel from PBNP. The University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in Madison, Wisconsin, will provide backup services in the event that the services of Aurora Medical Center - Manitowoc County become unavailable or that additional services are required.

6.5 Iodine Prophylaxis (Thyroid Protection) 6.5.1 Background A number of chemical compounds can be ingested before or shortly after inhalation of radioactive material to inhibit the biological assimilation of inhaled radionuclides. Of these, stable iodine has received more attention as a chemical prophylactic agent than other elements because inhaled radioiodine presents a radiological hazard under certain types of nuclear reactor accidents.
Radioiodine is quickly absorbed into the blood stream and concentrates primarily in the thyroid gland. This can result in significant doses to the thyroid. Therefore, a protective action to be considered after an accident involving the release containing radioactive iodine is the use of stable iodine as a thyroid-blocking agent. This can reduce the accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland.

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT EP 6.0 EMERGENCY PLAN MANUAL Revision 46 May 9, 2003 EMERGENCY MEASURES
.6.5.2 Criteria for Use The criteria for administering a thyroid-blocking agent (Potassium Iodide) to emergency personnel depends on the projected absorbed dose to the thyroid based on the severity and magnitude of the accident. If the initial estimate indicates a thyroid total absorbed dose of 25 rem or more, a thyroid-blocking agent will be distributed to emergency and support personnel. Prior to distribution, the RadlChem Coordinator or Dose/PAR Coordinator will make this recommendation with final approval by the Emergency Director.
For the greatest effectiveness, the thyroid-blocking agent should be administered as soon as possible, preferably before the exposure or within two hours of exposure. For most individuals the majority of radioiodine uptake by the thyroid occurs within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after a short-term exposure. The initial administration of a blocking agent will be of some value even as long as 4-8 hours after the exposure period. The determination of whether the thyroid-blocking agent should be continued on a daily basis will be made by the Medical Services Division after evaluation of the situation.
