NEW YORK STATE EMERGENCY PLAN FOR RADIATION ACCIDENTS 1.
INTRODUCTION The basic planning document for emergency response to enemy attack and natural or man-made disasters for all jurisdictions within the State is the "State 'of New York Emergency Operations Plan".
This radiological emergency response plan is a supporting plan to the State's general disaster preparedness plan.
For brevity, "State Rad Plan" is used inter-changeably throughout this document with proper title of "New York State Emergency Plan For Radiation Accidents."
Planning for the consequences of potential accidents at nuclear facilities within the disaster response framework established by the "Emergency Operations Plan" consists of the following:
1.
"New York State Emergency Plan For Radiation Accidents."
2.
Specific Operating Procedures (SOP) developed for each major nuclear facility.
3.
Emergency plans and implementing procedures developed by local jurisdictions.
Each nuclear facility develops and maintains emergency or site contingency plans.
The procedures developed by the State and local agencies and the nuclear facility must be compatible and mutually supportive.
The "Supplemental Radiation Emergency
Response
Plan to Provide for Monitoring, Surveillance and Control Over Milk, Milk Products, Agricultural Products and Water Sources Following An Accident At a Fixed Nuclear Facility" issued in September 1975 is incorporated within the body of this State Rad Plan (Section XIII).
II.
PURPOSE The purpose of the State Rad Plan and allied documents is to provide a
coordinated effort by Federal,
- State, and local agencies to prevent or minimize hazards to life and health in the event of a radiation accident.
III.
DEFINITION A radiation accident, as used in this State Rad Plan, is one in which offsite protective action may be necessary to reduce population exposure as a result of an accident at a commercial power reactor; testing, training or research reactor; nuclear fuel fabrication plant; nuclear fuel reprocessing plant; special nuclear material storage facility; or other similar facility.
IV.
SCOPE The "State Emergency Plan for Radiation Accidents" provides for the early notification of responsible
- agencies, the subsequent evaluation of the severity of the accident and initiation of procedures fo'r protective action to safeguard the public in the vicinity of the radiation accident site.
R0479 Radiation incidents such as lost sources, spills in laboratories, trans-portation mishaps involving radioactive materials, etc.
are investigated and respondedto in accordance with administrative guidance in the State Department of Health's Environmental Health Manual Item RAD 320 (Appendix D).
V.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS The nuclear facility operator (NFO) has the primary responsiblity for assessment of the magnitude and consequences of radiological accidents.
This responsibility includes requirement for onsite and offsite monitoring, sample collection and analysis, and notification of appropriate State and local officials.
Those nuclear installations having NAWAS (National Warning System) outlets will use NAWAS as the primary means for initial notification of State and local disaster coordination agencies.
After the initial notification, technical personnel from the NFO will remain in continual contact with technical personnel from the State Health Department for consultation and continued evaluation of the accident consequences.
Based upon the assessment, the State Department of Health is responsible for prescribing protective actions to accomplish the objective of this plan.
The State Conmissioner of Health will recommend the implementation of such actions.
The State Division of Military and Naval Affairs will coordinate the assistance to be furnished by various Federal and State departments and agencies, governmental forces from political subdivisions, quasi public and private organizations in support of the State Department of Health's activities in executing this plan, when directed by the Governor.
The primary responsibility for implementing actions to mitigate the effects of a disaster rests with the local political subdivisions which are affected by the emergency.
In addition to technical guidance and evaluations, State assistance in the form of personnel, equipment,
- supplies, services and faci.lities, other than the extension of credit, may be provided when local resources are insufficient to cope with the effects of the emergency.
Federal assistance, primarily the RAP (Radiological Assistance Plan) teams administered by the Brookhaven Area Office of the U.S. Department of Energy will be requested to assist in field assessment and verifying offsite doses.
The RAP teams have sophisticated field monitoring equipment, substantial technical manpower, and transportation arrangements for rapid response.
Additional radiation surveillance resources of the State, local and/or other Federal agencies will supplement the NFO and RAP field assessment teams and will be made available for assistance in determining and verifying offsite consequences.
The field assessment teams will use the local or district emergency operations center (EOC) or forward command post established by the local EOC as a base of operations.
Communications for field assessment teams will be provided by listing State/local governmental communications which includes police, fire, public works, R0479
~ ~ school, civil defense, etc.
and nongovernmental agencies including Civil Air Patrol,
- RACES, REAC, as appropriate.
Analysis of potential accidents at fixed nuclear. facilities (light water reactors) indicates that bodily contamination of offsite personnel i.s not anticipated.
Monitoring of evacuees from the affected areas or deoontamination of these evacuees should not be required.
Field assessment teams can be sent to reception centers (shelters) for monitoring evacuated personnel, if necessary.
The reception centers, typically schools and
- armories, have shower faci.lities that can be used if decontamination is deemed advisable.
Normal Red Cross procedures for registering evacuees at shelters will be utilized to account for personnel removed from affected areas.
A screening program for possible thyroid uptake of radioiodines for personnel from the affected area may be desirable.
The licensing files of the State Bureau of Radiological Health (BRH) contain reference information regarding hospitals with nuclear medicine departments and thyroid scanning equipment which could be used for screening programs.
State BRH also has information regarding the location of whole body counters at various locations in the State.
VI.
OBJECTIVE The objective of the State Rad Plan is to prevent or minimize radiation exposure to the population in the event of a radiation accident.
Protective action to minimize radiation exposure shall be undertaken at the direction of the State Commissioner of Health, and as specified in the local radiological emergency response plans (referred to as local radiological plans in this document), if the projected absorbed dose is likely to exceed the Protective Action Guide (PAG) established in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents" or in the "Federal Radiation Council Reports No.
5 and 7" for the ingestion pathway.
Protective action may also be taken at the direction of the State Commissioner of Health for lower projected doses.
VII.
LEGAL AUTHORITY A.
State Department of Health Under Section 201 of the Public Health Law, the State Department of Health is responsible for public health aspects in the use of ionizing radiation.
Part 16 of the New York State Sanitary Code implements the Public Health Law.
Part 16 includes requirements relating to accidents, emergencies or incidents with respect to notification, theft, loss of radiation'sources or release from radiation installations in any uncontrolled area exceeding specified limits; reporting upon individuals receiving greater than acceptable dose limits as prescribed in the Code and the reporting of steps instituted to correct and prevent unnecessary exposures to the general population.
The responsibilities for the public health aspects of ionizing radiation have been assigned to the Department's Bureau of Radiological Health.
R0479 B.
State Disaster Preparedness Commission The Executive Law as amended by Chapters 640 and 641 of the Laws of 1978 establishes the Disaster Preparedness Commission (DPC).
The DPC is the State's natural and man-made disaster coordination agency.
Article 2-3 of the Executive Law provides that when a disaster has occurred or is imminent the Governor may declare a State disaster emergency.
The DPC may then direct State agencies to use their resources to protect endangered life, health and property.
Man-made disasters include nuclear facility accidents, accidents at chemical, fuel or explosive production plants and transportation accidents.
The Chief of Staff to the Governor (CSG) serves as Secretariat to the DPC and provides necessary staff services.
The Office of Disaster Preparedness (ODP) within the Division of Military and Naval Affairs provides this staff support to the DPC as well as carrying out the allied civil defense functions.
The State Office of Disaster Preparedness may be requested to assist State and local agencies operationally responsible in specific kinds of natural or man-made disasters, and to coordinate the assistance furnished in support of State and local disaster efforts by various Federal and State departments, agencies and local authorities.
State ODP also has the responsibility for a Statewide warning and communications system.
C.
Local Chief Executive The chief executive or administrative head of a county, city, village or town is responsible for natural and man-made di.saster operations in his jurisdiction.
- Under Article 2-B of the Executive Law, the chief executive may proclaim a local state of emergency within any part or all of the territorial limits of that local government and is authorized and empowered to use any and all facilities, equipment,
- supplies, personnel and other resources of his political subdivision to cope with the disaster or any emergency resulting therefrom.
In most counties including those having nuclear facilities the local civil defense director is designated as coordinator of all disaster responses affecting his respective jurisdiction.
Under the authority vested in the local chief executive, protective actions for potential radiation emergencies can be instituted by the local political subdivision without the formal approval of the State Conmissioner of Health.
These protective actions should be specified in the local radiological plan.
This local authority is important in the event of a breakdown in communications between the nuclear facility and State officials. It is anticipated, however, that recommendations regarding appropriate protection actions from the State Commissioner of Health will be provided to the local disaster coordinator before the mobilization of key local officials is completed.
D.
State-Nuclear Regulatory Commission Agreement The agreement between the State of New York and United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), formerly the Atomic Energy Commission, authorizes the State to assume regulatory responsibility for by-product, R0479 source and special nuclear materials in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass.
The NRC retained authority and responsibility with respect to regulation of the construction and operation of any pro-duction and utilization facility.
Article 7 of the agreement between the State and the NRC, as well as paragraph 5 in the Memorandum of. Understanding augmenting that agreement, states that nothing therein shall be construed as defining or affecting the exercising of respective rights and powers of the NRC or the State.
VIII. NOTIFICATION AND ALERTING PROCEDURES A.
State Warning Point The State maintains a warning center for receipt and dissemination of warnings of an attack upon the United States as well as for warning of actual or impending natural or man-made disasters.
The primary State Warning Point is located in the Emergency Operating Center (EOC), Public Security Building, Albany, and is manned during normal business hours by the Warning Section of the Office of Disaster Preparedness.
An alternate State Warning Point is also located in the Public Security Building. It is manned by the Division of State Police and provides coverage during non-business hours (generally 4:45 PM to 8:30 AM) and all hours on weekends and holidays.
The primary means for notification are the telephone or NAWAS (National Warning System).
The telephone number for 24-hour notification to the State Warning Point is 518/457-2200.
A back-up telephone number is 518/457-6811.
NAWAS is a private telephone system dedicated for disaster and emergency reports.
The State Office of Disaster Preparedness has access to other modes of communication including teletype and radio systems.
B.

Embargo produce, and destroy if'ecessary.
D.
Protective Action Guides Protective Action guides are the numerical projected doses which act as trigger points to initiate protective action.
PAG's are provided for the following pathways of radiation exposure:
Exposure from airborne radioactive releases.
This type of exposure could occur within a short period following an incident as a result of inhalation of radioactive materials or from external whole body exposure (iaanersion).
Exposure through the food chain.
This exposure could occur from ingestion of contaminated foods an'd water.
This exposure may commence after the passage of airborne'radioactive materials and may continue for a long or short time depending on the radionuclides involved.
Protective actions may be directed by the State Health Commissioner for projected doses below established PAG's in order to prevent or minimize radiation exposure to the population in the event'f a radiation accident.
e 1.
PAG's FOR AIRBORNE RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL a.
PAG for Thyroid Dose Due to Inhalation from a Passing Plume General Population Emergency Workers Lifesaving Activities 5-25 rem+
125 rem No specific upper limit b.
PAG for Whole Body Gamma Dose for Exposure to Airborne Radioactive Materials General Population Emergency Workers Lifesaving Activities 1-5 rem'<
25 rem 75 rem "5&en ranges are
- shown, the lowest value should be used if there are no major local constraints in providing protection at that level, especially to sensitive popula-tions.
Local constraints may make lower values impractical to use, but in no case should higher value be exceeded in determining the need for protective actions.
(Office of Radiation Programs, United States Environmental Protection Agency)
R0479 2.
PAG's FOR THE INGESTION PATHWAY The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S.
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is developing guidance on accidental radioactive contamination of human food and animal feeds.
When the FDA guidance is promulgated, it will replace the following PAG's from the Federal Radiation Council Reports and will be incorporated in the New York State emergency plans and procedures.
a.
Protective Action Guide for Iodine-131 "Federal Radiation Council Report No. 5" provides the following PAG for a thyroid dose from I-131:
To an individual 30 rem To a suitable sample of the population 10 rem A suitable sample consists of the sensitive segment of the population, that is, children of approximately one year of age.
The PAG from FRC No.
5 was established for the ingestion pathway.
New York State initially adopted this PAG for pro)ected doses from both ingestion and inhalation pathways prior to development of the EPA PAGs for inhalation and immersion (whole body exposure).
b.
Protective Action Guides for Strontium-89, Strontium-90 and Cesium-137 "Federal Radiation Council Report Number 7" provides information and guidance for situations involving contamination of the en-vironment by the radionuclides Strontium-89, Strontium-90 and Cesium-137.
This report separates an acute contaminating event into three categories for evaluating when protective actions may be indicated.
Category I is limited to the transmission of Sr-89; Sr-90 and Cs-137 through the pasture-cow<<milk-man pathway.
Category II is concerned with the transmission the radionuclides through dietary pathways other then the milk chain.
Category III is primarily con-cerned with the long-term transmission of Sr-90 through soil into plants in the years following a contaminating event.
1.
Category I 10 rem to the bone marrow or whole body of individuals in the general population in the first year, and providing that the total dose resulting from Category I does not exceed 15 rem.
2.
Category II 5 rem to the bone marrow or whole body of individuals in the general population in the first year.
For operational
- purposes, FRC No.
7 assumes that the guide will be met effectively if the average dose to a suitable sample of the population does not exceed approximately 3 rem for Category I and 2 rem for Category II.
ROC479 3.
Category III No specific PAG recommended.
If the annual dose to the bone marrow exceeds 0.5 rem for an individual or 0.2 rem for a suitable sample of the population, further evaluation is
. required.
E.
Emergency
Response
Alerts In the site specific plans (Specific Operating Procedures) for each operational nuclear generating facility, the offsite consequences of a spectrum of potential accidents are considered.
Three cases, referred to as ALERTS, are developed for minimizing radiation exposure primarily via the inhalat on or immersion pathways during the immediate period following a major release of fission products.
The following exposure levels refer to a two-hour thyroid inhalation or whole body immersion dose:
~Cate or Accident Conditions ALERT C Greater than 25 Rem thyroid greater than 5
Rem whole body ALERT A 5-25 Rem thyroid 1-5 Rem whole body ALERT B Less than 5
Rem thyroid le s s than 1 Rem whole body In the typical site specific plan, two additional ALERTS are developed for situations with potentially lower public health impact.

The U.S. Department of Energy's Radiological Assistance Plan (RAP) provides for emergency operations to assist State and local governments in protecting the health and safety of individuals, the public and the environment in the event of an accidental release of radioactive material or ionizing radiation.
In New York State, radiological assistance teems are provided by the Brookhaven Area US DOE Office (Brookhaven National Laboratory) with advance teams available from the New York City DOE Health and Safety Laboratory, University of Rochester DOE Project and Schenectady Naval Reactors (Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory).
Both the Radiological Assistance Plan (ERDA-60, July 1975) and the Regional Radiological Assis-tance Plan (Brookhavan Area DOE Office) are an integral part of the State
'ad Plan and are reference documents available at the Bureau of Radiological Health and at the State EOC.
B.
Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan (IRAP)
The Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan (IRAP) provides for the use of all available Federal capabilities in the event of a serious peacetime radiological incident.
Thirteen (13) Federal agencies are signatory to this plan.
IRAP (ERDA-10, April 1975) is an integral part of the State Plan and is on file in the Emergency Plans Unit, Bureau of Radiological Health and at the State EOC.
XIII.
MONITORING AND SURVEILLIANCE OF MILK WATER AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS This section establishes responsiblity for actions to be taken by industry, and State and local agencies to reduce the potential radiation exposure from ingestion of contaminated milk, milk products, agricultural products and potable water supplies in the event of an accident at any nuclear facility within or outside New York State.
Nuclear power reactors are presently operating or will be operating in 35 States and in all States east of the Mississippi River, except West Virginia and Kentucky.
The commercial power reactors are generally located away from R0479 centers of population and in the vicinity of agricultural producing land areas.
A large accidental gaseous release of radioactivity may be carried downwind resulting in deposition of radioactivity on land and water surfaces.
In a gaseous
- release, radioiodines will generally be the nuclides of primary concern.
Deposition on water surfaces may contaminate surface ~ater supplies.
Deposition on crops or pastureland may result in contamination of agricultural products and milk supplies.
The relative dose from inhalation and from consumption of milk would depend upon a number of factors including dispersion of the cloud with regards to food crops and dairy farms as well as location of populations. If both modes of exposure may be involved, i.e. inhalation and ingestion of milk, and no protective actions are taken, the dose due to ingestion of milk may be as much as 400 to 700 times greater than that from the inhalation pathway.
Exposure due to ingestion of contaminated agricultural products may be 5 to 10 times greater than from inhalation.
The contamination may extend 50 to 100 miles or more from the site.
An accidental liquid discharge of radioactivity from a nuclear facility may result in contamination of downstream potable water sources used by individuals or municipalities.
Fission or corrosion products may be released from the facility.
The need for protective actions would be based upon the projected concentration of radioactivity at any down stream water supply.
A relatively large volume of water available for dilution would substantially reduce the concentration of radioactivity.
The following procedures are predicated upon initiating protective actions to prevent the entry of contaminated milk and food products into the food processing and distribution chain.
If steps can be taken within the first few hours to prevent contaminated milk and food products from reaching the
- consumer, more effective surveillance, control and enforcement will be assured.
Contaminated lands will be identified through ground and/or aerial surveillance as quickly as possible and routine agricultural operations would be resumed in
'hose areas that were found to be uncontaminated.
In the event of a radiation accident at a fixed nuclear facility, the State Bureau of Radiological Health will request that the State Office of Disaster Preparedness notify the designated representatives of the following State agencies of the areas potentially affected and request initiation of one or more of the actions listed in the following sections.

PLAN TESTING. UPDATING AND DISTRIBUTION A.
Plan Testing 1.
The State Rad Plan will be tested at intervals determined by the State Bureau of Radiological Health and the State Office of Disaster Preparedness.
One of the prime considerations in determining that an exercise is needed is a significant change in personnel since the last test.
Within budgetary constraints, an annual exercise of procedures in the State Rad Plan is established as a goal.
The drill will be rotated among the major nuclear fixed facility sites.
In this manner, a goal of an exercise involving each major nuclear site and the appropriate State and local agencies at least every three years is established.
2.
After each test, all parties involved will determine the adequacy of the State and local plans and suggest improvements and modifi>>
cations.
3.
Tests will be conducted periodically during non-duty hours and during seasons with adverse weather conditions.
R0479 4.
Unannounced communications drills between the State, each major nuclear facility and the appropriate local disaster agencies will be conducted once a year as a minimum.
5.
Internal State Department of Health communications will be tested annually as a minimum.
B.
Plan Updating 1.
The State Rad Plan will be reviewed by the State on a periodic basis.
2.
The State Bureau of Radiological Health will assist the State Warning Point in maintaining personnel and telephone numbers listed in the Alerting Procedures on a current basis.
As a minimum, a review of the Warning Point Alerting Procedures will be accomplished every year.
3.
Specific Operating Procedures for the particular nuclear facility, local radiological emergency response plans and required interface with the nuclear facility emergency plan will be reviewed on a periodic basis by the State Bureau of Radiological Health, local disaster coordinator and designated representative from the fixed nuclear facility.
4, "Pen and ink" revisionsare made as necessary to at least the master copies of the State Rad Plan maintained by the State BRH,and the State ODP and are provided to the appropriate local agencies and nuclear facility affected by the change.
C.
Plan Distribution 1.
Revised editions of the State Rad Plan are routinely distributed through both the State Department of Health and State Division of Military and Naval Affairs channels.
a.
The State Health Department distributes revised copies of the State Rad Plan by means of an executive memorandum to the deputy, associate and assistant conmissioners, division directors, regional and area health directors, directors of bureaus and staff offices, district health offices, directors of State hospitals, city and county health commissioners and the directors of State health research institutes.
The State Rad Plan is included as Chapter XVIIIof the overall Health Department Emergency Plan.
b.
The Division of Military and Naval Affairs transmits revised copies of the plan by means of a permanent memorandum mechanism established for this purpose.
This di,stribution is made to all local Civil Defense Directors, natural disaster coordinators, district offices of disaster preparedness, section and unit heads of the Division of Military and Naval Affairs and appropriate State and Federal agencies.
R0479 2.
In addition to the normal departmental distributions indicated above, revised copies of the State Rad Plan are sent to each major nuclear facility in the State, to the designated contact personnel for State and Federal agencies and technical resource personnel listed in the Plan and to the appropriate agency in contiguous States.
XV.
TRAINING Training and retraining of State and local emergency response officials is provided by a variety of means.
The training consists of formal courses, seminars and conferences, simulations, experience gained in response to actual incidents and emergencies, and through participation in annual drills initiated by the nuclear facility operators.
The State Division of Military and Naval Affairs sponsors a continuing train-ing program for State and local officials having disaster responsiblities.
This program consists of conference of Public Officials (CPO), Emergency Operations Simulations (EOS) and other related training activities.
In the
- EOS, emergency response requirements, actions and methods are discussed and explained and tested under simulated conditions.
These emergency activities are the same as may be required in a radiological emergency with exception of technical response in evaluating radiation hazards.
Courses dealing with the evaluation of and response to radiation emergencies are sponsored by the Federal government.
Courses listed in the latest edition (November 1978) of the "Catalog of Federal Interagency Training Courses for Radiological Emergency Response" include:
Radiological Emergency

R0479 Participation of appropriate State and local officials in current and future Federal courses is promoted and coordinated by the State Health Department and the Division of Military and Naval Affairs.
The nuclear facilities provide periodic training and retraining for local emergency services located in the vicinity of the facility.
Training.and/
or drills are typically provided on an annual basis for fire, hospital and ambulance personnel.
The nuclear facilities provide instructors at certain CPO's and EOS's and provide staff to assist in preparation of scenarios used in the EOS simulated emergencies.
A radiological defense training program for local civil defense staff including monitor training, radiological defense officer and monitor instructor training is coordinated by DMNA.
Although this training is designed primarily for the nuclear attack contingency it offers background information basic to any nuclear emergency.
This training is supported by Federal civil preparedness funding.
LIAISON AND MUTUAL ASSISTANCE - FIXED FACILITY OPERATORS In reply to conanunications from State BRH the licensed operators of fixed nuclear facilities indicated the desirability of a program for rendering assistance to the State.
This assistance is for electric utility radiation emergencies not involving their respective facilities.
The details for implementing the mutual assistance are presently under development, In the event that mutual assistance is required before the implementing procedures are completed, the utilities agreed to provide assistance to the extent possible on an ad hoc basis.
