• 1.0 Purpose 1.1 This procedure provides guidance concerning the allowable exposure limits, radiological controls, issuing dosimetry/KI supplies and performing equipment and operational checks for emergency workers responding to a radiological event.

2.0 Discussion 2.1 The Emergency Management Director has authority to approve exposures in excess of the limits specified in this procedure. If possible, this should be done after consultation with the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) or the Radiological Director at the South Texas Project (STP).

• 2.2 The Radiological Officer is responsible for the implementation of this procedure and for monitoring the status of personnel radiation exposures to County emergency workers.

2.3 All radiation exposures to Emergency Workers shall be kept As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).

2.4 Emergency worker kits should be issued to Emergency Workers as follows:

2.4.1 Emergency Workers entering the plume exposure pathway will be

• 2.4.2 provided an EPD and TLD, potassium iodide (KI), instructions and Attachment 4, Emergency Worker Radiation Exposure Record.

Emergency Workers assigned to perform monitoring and decontamination will be assigned an EPD and TLD, and provided a briefing on how to wear the dosimetry.

2.5 Emergency Workers should be moved to safe areas if a radiological plume is released.

When Emergency Workers are in the affected area, they should remain out of the contaminated area and should minimize their exposure.

2.6 Dosimetry for Emergency Workers will be provided by STP and/or the State of Texas and will be kept at the Emergency Operations Center and the Environmental Health Department.

2.7 STP is responsible for the official reading ofTLDs provided to the county.

EXPOSURE CONTROL FOR EMERGENCY WORKERS Procedure 42

• 3.0 Definitions 3 .1 Background Radiation is the ionizing radiation emitted from a variety of natural and artificial radiation sources: sources in the Earth and from those sources that are incorporated in our food and water, which are incorporated in our body, and building material and other products that incorporate those radioactive sources; radiation sources from space (in the form of cosmic rays); and sources in the atmosphere which primarily come from both the radon gas that is released from the earth's surface and subsequently decays to radioactive atoms that becomes attached to airborne dust and particulates, and the production of radioactive atoms from the bombardment of atoms in the upper atmosphere by high-energy cosmic rays.

3.2 Committed Dose Equivalent Thyroid (CDE-Thyroid) if projected CDE Thyroid reaches threshold set by Department State Health Services (DSHS) then recommend administering stable iodine.

3.3 Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE) the committed dose equivalent for a given organ multiplied by a weighting factor.

I 3.4 Corrected Counts Per Minute (CCPM) the number of disintegrations detected in one minute by a radiation detector minus background radiation. (CPM on a monitored item less background in CPM = CCPM) .

• 3.5 3 .6 Counts Per Minute (CPM) the number of disintegrations in a radioactive source actually detected by a radiation detection instrument.

Deep Dose Equivalent (DDE) applies to external whole-body exposure and is the dose equivalent at a tissue depth of 1 cm.

3.7 Dose Equivalent the product of the absorbed dose in tissue, quality factor, and all other necessary modifying factors at the location of interest. The units of dose equivalent are in rem.

3.8 Dosimetry consists of an Electronic Personal Dosimeter (EPD) and/or Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD). I 3.9 Effective dose equivalent is used to compare radiation doses on different body parts on an equivalent basis because radiation does not affect different parts in the same way.

I 3 .10 Electronic Personal Dosimeter (EPD) an individual radiation monitoring device capable of measuring exposure and/or dose rate with an alarm which is preset to a specified II i

exposure and/or dose rate.

3.11 Emergency workers are individuals who perform functions to protect the health and I I~

safety of the public in response to the declared emergency, or are individuals approved to reenter an area where access control has been established. Emergency Workers could include:

• EXPOSURE LIMITS Attachment 1 (Page 1 of2)

The following information is provided as guidance for limiting personnel exposures during a radiological accident. This information is intended to be consistent with the guidelines issued by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS).

This information will be included in Just-In-Time Training provided by the Radiation Officer to primary and alternate personnel.

General Persons exposed to radiation during an accident are subject to several limitations for their whole body and thyroid exposure. A higher maximum exposure is permitted for life saving operations than is allowed for the performance of other response duties. Daily and cumulative exposure summaries will be used by the Radiological Officer to evaluate exposure trends and will provide the basis for removal or reassignment of persons receiving unusually high exposures when compared to other team members.

Administrative Exposure Limits

• To be consistent with the exposure limits developed by the DSHS, the following limits will be used. These limits can be waived for individuals by the Emergency Management Director.

• 200 mrem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) per shift

• 1 rem (1000 mrem)

• TEDE or 5 rem Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) thyroid exposure in one day

• 5 rem (5000 mrem) TEDE or 25 rem Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) thyroid during the entire event Emergency Exposure Limits Some situations may occur in which life saving activities or other urgent and critical tasks may be necessary and could result in higher exposures than those identified in the administrative limits. In these situations, the individual is responsible for making an on-the-spot decision to apply the higher exposure limit. This should only be done in extreme cases.

• 5 rem TEDE per event

• 10 rem TEDE protecting valuable property

• 25 rem TEDE lifesaving or protecting large populations

• * >25 rem TEDE lifesaving or protecting large populations, must be a volunteer and informed of the risk.

Potassium Iodide (Kl)

Potassium Iodide (KI) is a drug that can be used effectively to block the uptake ofradioiodine by the thyroid gland.

Supplies of KI tablets are maintained by the County at the Emergency Operations Center for use by Emergency Workers who may be exposed to radioactive iodine during the performance of their duties.

Kl does not provide protection from external exposure of radiation and is only effective for the uptake of ingested and/or inhaled radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland.

KI is effective when given before or immediately after an exposure. The effectiveness of KI drops off quickly and is oflimited value when taken more than four hours after the exposure. An evaluation of the need to administer Kl should be made in coordination with the DSHS.

Kl should only be taken by Category 1 Emergency Workers upon direction of the Emergency Management Director.

• Additional information concerning exposure limits is provided in the State of Texas Radiological Emergency Management Procedures, in particular, Procedure 7, Personnel Dosimetry and Exposure Records, Procedure 9, Radioprotective Drugs and Procedure 10, Monitoring and Sampling Airborne Gamma Releases,Section VIII.F.

• USE OF POTASSIUM IODIDE Attachment 8 (Page 1 of2)

Take potassium iodide only when directed by the Emergency Management Director. In a radiation emergency, radioactive iodine may be released into the air. Potassium iodide (a form of iodine) can help protect your thyroid.

If you are told to take this medicine, take it once every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Do not take it more often. More often will not help you and may increase the risk of side effects. Do not take this drug if you know you are allergic to iodide. (See side effects below.)

• DIRECTIONS FOR USE Use only when directed by state or local authorities in the event of a radiological emergency.

One tablet (one dose) a day. Take one dose a day until directed otherwise, by County or State authorities.

Store at controlled room temperature between 59° F to 86° F. Keep container tightly closed and protect from light.

• WARNING Potassium iodide should not be used by people allergic to iodine. Keep out of the reach of children. In case of overdose or allergic reaction, contact a physician or the public health authority.

DESCRIPTION Each potassium iodide dosage contains 130 mg of potassium iodide.

HOW POTASSIUM IODIDE WORKS Certain forms of iodine help your thyroid gland work right. Most people get the iodine they need from foods, like iodized salt or fish. The thyroid can store or hold only a certain amount of iodine.

In a radiation emergency, radioactive iodine may be released in the air. This material may be breathed, or swallowed. It may enter the thyroid gland and damage it. The damage would probably not show itself for years. Children are most likely to have thyroid damage.

If you take potassium iodide, it will fill up your thyroid gland. This reduces the chance that harmful radioactive iodine will enter the thyroid gland.

• P-42-17 June 1, 2017 Revision 16

EXPOSURE CONTROL FOR EMERGENCY WORKERS Procedure 42

• USE OF POTASSIUM IODIDE Attachment 8 (Page 2 of2)

WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE POTASSIUM IODIDE The only people who should not take potassium iodide are people who know they are allergic to iodine.

You may take potassium iodide even if you are taking medicines for a thyroid problem (for example, a thyroid hormone or antithyroid drug). Pregnant, nursing women, babies, and children may also take this drug.

HOW AND WHEN TO TAKE POTASSIUM IODIDE .

Potassium Iodide should be taken as soon as possible after direction is received from the EOC. You should take one dose every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. More will not help you because the thyroid can hold only limited amounts of iodine. Larger doses will increase the risk of side effects. You will probably be told not to take the drug for more than 10 days. '

SIDE EFFECTS Usually, side effects of potassium iodide happen when people take higher doses for a long time. You

• should be careful not to take more than the recommended dose or take it for longer than you are told .

Side effects are unlikely because of the low dose and the short time you will be taking the drug.

Possible side effects include skin rashes, swelling of the salivary glands, and iodism (metallic taste, burning mouth and throat, sore teeth and gums, symptoms of a head cold, and sometimes stomach upset and diarrhea). A few people have an allergic reaction with more serious symptoms. These could be fever and joint pains, or swelling of parts of the face and body and at times severe shortness of breath requiring immediate medical attention. Taldng iodide may rarely cause over activity of the thyroid gland, under activity of the thyroid gland, or enlargement of the thyroid gland (goiter):

WHAT TO DO IF SIDE EFFECTS OCCUR If the side effects are severe or if you have an allergic reaction, stop taking potassium iodide and contact the EOC immediately for instructions .

1.1.1 Electronic Personal Dosimeters (EPDs) monitor exposure on a continuing basis.

These dosimeters may be used by different responders throughout an event by recording the initial and ending exposure appearing on the dosimeter Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and entering it on the record. The difference between the beginning and ending reading becomes the exposure for that person.

1.1.2 The Emergency Worker Exposure Control limits are as follows:

• 200 mrem per shift (x 5 = 1 rem total effective dose equivalent), 1 rem limit per day, 5 rem limit per event, greater than 25 rem for lifesaving missions.

1.1.3 EPDs have two alarming set points. These set points are:

• 1.1.4 200mrem 1 rem There are no setpoints beyond 1 rem. If the Emergency Worker will receive higher exposure, the EPD should be read every thirty minutes to avoid going over established exposure limits.

1.1.5 If the EPD alarms, look at the display. If the reading is close to 200 mrem, then request to be replaced, unless patient lifesaving procedures are being implemented.

The supervisor can allow the worker to receive up to 1 rem per day during critical evolutions.

1.1.6 The EPD is set to chirp every 10 mrem to alert the user of additional exposure received. When the EPD chirps, the user should read the unit to be aware of current exposure levels.

• RADIOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS Attachment 10 (Page 7 of21) 2.0 Survey Meter Ludlum 14c 2.1 The range mulitplier selector switch has 6 positions marked OFF, XIOOO, XlOO, XlO, XI, XO. I. Moving the range selector switch to one of the range mulitplier positions provides the operator with an overall range of 0-6,000 cpm. Multiply the scale reading by the mulitplier for determining the actual scale readings.

2.2 Audio ON-OFF toggle switch: in the ON position, the switch energizes the speaker, located on the left side of the instrument. The frequency of the clicks is relative to the rate of the incoming pulses. The higher the rate, the higher the audio frequency. The audio should be turned OFF, when not required, to reduce battery drain.

2.3 Fast-Slow toggle switch: selecting the fast, F, position of the toggle switch provides 90%

of final meter reading in four seconds. In slow, S, position, 90% of final meter reading talces 22 seconds. Set on F for fast response and large meter deviation. S position should be used for slow response and damped meter deviation. The fast response setting should be used when performing an initial survey or when trying to locate sources of radiation .

Switch to slow response when more accurate measurements are needed (e.g., for official measurements).

2.4 RES button: when depressed, provides a rapid means to drive the meter to zero.

2.5 BAT check: when depressed, provides a visual means of checking the battery charge status. The instrument must be turned on to perform this function. .

2.6 Operation of internal/external detector: The internal GM detector is operational on the XI 000 scale only. The attached external GM detector is operational for scale multiples XO.I, XI, XIO, XIOO.

2. 7 Specific characteristics/limitations: The Ludlum Model 14c is a portable survey instrument designed for operation with a GM detector that operates on two standard D cell batteries. The unit body is made of cast-aluminum, including the meter housing. The instrument can operate with either a thin wall GM detector or a pancake GM detector. The Ludlum Model I 4c is also equipped with an internal high range detector that is operational only when the meter is on the XI 000 range.

2.8 With two D cell batteries, the Ludlum Model I4c is set for 900-volt GM tube operations from 32°F to approximately 150°F. Either very fresh alkaline batteries or rechargeable Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries maybe used.

\,

• 2.9 Instrument Maintenance: Never store the instrument over 30 days without removing batteries. Although the instrument will not be affected, battery failure can occur.

• Check the calibration expiration date, if the instrument calibration is past due, label the instrument as out of service and obtain backup meter.

• Visually inspect the instrument for damage. If there is damage which impairs the use of the instrument, label the instriunent as out of service and obtain backup meter.

• Ensure the Model 14c power switch is in the OFF position. Open the battery lid and install two D size batteries. Note(+)(-) marks on the inside of the lid. Match the battery polarity. If the response falls below the accepted range, install new batteries.

• Turn the instrument range switch to XlOOO. Depress the button on the face of the instrument labeled BAT. The meter should deflect to the battery check position of the meter scale. If the meter does not respond, recheck to be certain the batteries have

• proper polarity. If the response falls below the accepted range, install new batteries .

• Utilizing the externally attached detector, move the range switch to the lower scales until a meter reading is indicated. The toggle switch labeled F-S stands for fast response in F position, slow response in S position. Place the toggle switch in the S position. Expose the external probe to a radiation check source. The speaker should click with the audio switch in the ON position. Visually inspect to ensure the readout of the instrument also responds.

• Press the RES switch, the meter should zero.

• Proceed to use the instrument.

• RADIOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS Attachment 10 (Page 11 of 21) 2.12 Use the following technique to monitor personnel, equipment, etc. for contamination:

2.12.1 Observe the background count rate, if the background count rate is above 150 cpm, perform one of the following:

a. Move to a location with acceptable background levels.

b. Search monitoring area for the cause of the elevated background.

Look at waste containers or anything that may have been placed or left in the monitoring area. If radioactive material is detected move it away from the area ensuring it is labeled and access to it is controlled.

c. Decontaminate the area until acceptable background levels are reached.

2.12.2 Hold the probe approximately one half to one inch from the surface of the item being monitored.

• 2.12.3 Move the probe at a rate of approximately 1 - 2 inches/second across the surface of the item being monitored.

a. Do not touch sharp or jagged objects with the probe as it is easily punctured. If the count rate does not increase when the probe is exposed to the source, there is probably a hole in the Mylar. Tag the probe as "out of service broken mylar" and replace, verify the new probe is functioning properly by performing a source check.

1.2 This procedure implements the requirements of the Emergency Management Basic Plan for Matagorda County, Bay City, and Palacios and the Emergency Management Plan, Annex W, Fixed Nuclear Facility Response specific to EAS messages.

2.0 Discussion 2.1 An Emergency Alert Station (EAS) message gives direction to the public on actions that should be taken during an emergency at the STPEGS. Regular programming should be suspended and the message broadcast to the public as soon as the message is received by the EAS source. The current EAS message should be broadcast at least every 15 minutes until a new message is received.

2.2 The Prompt Notification System (PNS) is usually only activated when an EAS message is issued. The Prompt Notification System in the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for Matagorda County includes sirens and alert radios. Also available as a backup is the auto dialer, Community Alert Network (CAN), and route alerting.

2.3 EAS messages may be prescripted statements and are issued by the Emergency Management Director in conjunction with the Public Information Officer, Public Information Writer and/or the STPNOC Emergency Operations Center Liaison during emergencies at STPEGS. Except for the BAS message in the Sheriffs Office Dispatcher procedure for fast-breaking emergencies, all other EAS messages should be prepared according to the guidelines found in this procedure.

2.4 A News Advisory gives further information regarding the situation or provides information that is not directly related to protective actions for the public, or may direct the public to stand by for further information. The Prompt Notification System need not be activated when a news advisory is issued.

2.5 Recovery occurs when an accident at a fixed nuclear facility site is stabilized, the release is terminated, and other required conditions are met.

Matagorda County Officials recommend the following sheltering actions:

Go inside. Tightly close doors, windows, and fireplace dampers. Tum off any heating or cooling system that draws in outside air, such as window fans. Systems that recirculate inside air may be left on. Pets should be brought inside the house. Outdoor activities should be conducted only if absolutely necessary. Most homes and buildings provide some protection from the type of radiation being released into the atmosphere at the plant.

Stay indoors and listen to your NOAA Weather Radio or KKHA FM 92.5 for further information. You will be informed if evacuation in your area becomes advisable or when the emergency 1s over.

If you must go outside, take extra precautions. Wear outer garments such as long sleeved shirts and full leg pants, boots, hat, and gloves, (raincoat or overcoat during cool weather), and cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth or dust mask. This will provide some protection against the possible inhalation of contaminated particles. Upon reentry to your home, these garments should be removed and cleaned. Shower or wash the parts of your body that were not covered.

Foods which were indoors at the time of the accident should be eatable, but do not eat any other home or locally grown fruits or vegetables until you are advised that it is safe to do so. To avoid possible contamination keep all food supplies covered or in closed containers, and, where practical, wash fresh fruits and vegetables before use.

Store water in bottles or other closed containers as a precaution against possible restrictions of water use.

Do not use the telephone unless it is absolutely necessary.
