FURPOSE This document describes the procedures to be followed when the Chicago Operations Office (CH) is requested under the Radiological Assistance Plan (RAP) to provide av istance following a radiological (nuclear) incident in the area designated as RAP Region 5, consisting of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. This handbook is the regional implementing document of the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) RAP. Provisions are also made for the implementation of the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan (IRAP).
i The immediate objective of CH planning is to dispatch rapidly a team of specialists by the fastest available transportation to the incident site where the team will:
I l
1.
Evaluate the hazard.
l 2.
Take or recommend action to counteract and control any acute hazard.
3.
Establish communication with local authorities and the press.
f The plan is not designed to cover remedial action for long-term hazards, such as residual contamination; however, it may be extended to cover such
'(
situations. The pronadures outlined are intended to be guides and are
(
designed for the most probable set of circumstances that might be met in connection with incidents involving radioactive materials. It is presumed that all team participants will exercise discretion in selecting alternate Assist-procedures that might be better applied to a particular situation.
ance provided shall not in any way abridge state or local authority.
RAP team aid or advice may be requested or offered in incidents classified in one of the following categories:
1.
Region 5 a.
DOE contractors.
l b.
Military establishments or operators.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or state licensees.
c.
l d.
General Public.
l (1) State health departments.
Section I Page 1 of 2 August 25, 1978 l
l t
. - -...,. ~ -
(2) Civil Defense groups.
(3) Public carriers..
2.
Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) emergency.
3.
Support of other RAP Regions upon request.
~4.
Support of Civil Defensa Authorities in a national emergency.
5.
In accordance with IRAP.
l 6.
Other situations where the public healtL or safety is endangered.
Personnel for RAP team response in Region 5 are generally drawn from the staff of ANL and the Safety Division (SD), CH. Howeve, in the event an incident occurs of sufficient magnitude within the Region a ten-state area or at such a distance from Chicago that it cannot be effectively covered by the ANL team, assistance may be obtained by activating teams at one of the several DOE con-tractor facilities within the area, or by activating IRAP by calling upon other signatory Federal agencies. Additional assistance may be obtained by calling the Albuquerque Operations Office (AL) for use of established Department of Defense (DOD) team.
ANL maintains a roster of personnel from the Occupational Health and Safety Division (OHS) who are qualified and trained for response to radiological incidents. Teams drawn from this roster or from other contractor facilities l
within Region 5 will ts acting for the Department of Energy (DOE); therefore, it is required that at least one representative of the Manager, CH, accompany the team or join them during any response to emergency calls.
Note: Although this document refers more specifically to the ANL team, the plan herein described takes cognizance of the response capabilities of other contractor teams in Region 5.
This document also allows for the operation of established local plans and internal instructions; and, requirements covering activation and response of an ANL team are applicable to satellite teams within the limits of internal instructions.

SECTION II g
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS ALL INCIDENTS Contact is to be maintained with the CH Control Center, and with State and local authorities.
At the time of arrival of a RAP team at the site of an incident, life-saving actions are not expected to be an important part of the team's action, since, because of the time lapse, this phase of the emergency action should be completed. However, the possibility of such a situation should not be overlooked.
A whole body dose of 25 Rem may be accepted under the direction of the DOE Team Leader if conditions warrant such action; otherwise, the total dose re-ceived by any single team member should not exceed 3 Rem whole body exposure or 10 Rad skin exposure.
Individuals not adequately protected by breathing equipment should be re-stricted from downwind areas in incidents where fire or airborne hazards are involved.
A diagram of the scene should be drawn showing distances and significant
(
details; supplement with photographs of damage and of different phases of operation which can be accepted for a record of the incident.
WEAPONS INCIDENTS Incidents involving nuclear weapons or weapons components and where fire is also present are additionally hazardous. If a weapon is suspected to be in-volved and is engulfed in flames or is burning, attempt to extinguish the fire from the upwind side only.
It is recommended that an exclusion radius of 2000 feet be maintained if at all possible. However, cooling the burning weapon is helpful (see Section VII for additional information).
Obtain names and addresses o' persons involved.
Restrict all personnel from touching, removing, or examining any items in cl.a vicinity of an explosion. Any personnel found touching or examiting items should be monitored before leavins, the area.
The presence of nuclear weapons at a particular incident will te announced only when required in the interest of public safety.

PUBLIC INFONFIATION DOE /ERDA !!anual Chapter 3101-67 states that prompt ari candid public announce-ments shall be made at accidents and incidents at ESE installations and of fsite accidents and incidents involving actual or suspected exposure to radioactivity from material in the custody of DOE and its contractors.
Criteria for determining public information actions on incidents involving radiation shall include, but not be limited to:
1.
Radiation hazards to public.
2.
Radiation exposure to personnel above guide values.
3.
Contamination, of more than a minor nature, to personnel or property.
4.
Circumstances likely to create rumors or exaggerated reports in the absence of official issuance or information.
4 TYPE OF INCIDENTS Radioactive Shipment Radioactive shipments by rail, truck, and aircraft consist largely of fission products of uraniu= in numerous forms of physical states. Spillage, collision, fire, train derailment, or airplane crashes can all be considered as potential causes of incidents involving this type of shipment. Shipments may consist of fissile material as formed elements, as a liquid, or as a metal in various forns. j' k'aste material for intended disposal may also be involved in shipping incidents. (
The fissile material and/or waste material nay consist of uranium or plutonium.
LICENSEE ACCIDENTS OR SHIPMENTS t
Another possible source of an inci'snt is ir the use of materials by licensed i
individuals and institutions. An incident iavolving a licensee would be
(
similar in nature to those involving other operations except for the possible effect upon the public and upon private property.
Material in possession of a licensee likely to be involved in an incident may be any one of a number of radioisotopes in all physical states. The Office of Inspection and Enforcement, NRC, Regions III or IV, will routinely assign one of their personnel to incidents in this estegory in the states under their jurisdiction. Agreement states conducting their own licensing programs, will most likely assign personnel to the incident. In any radiological response involving a licensee, notification of the incident aad information regarding it will be af forded the Office of Inspection and Enforcement, NRC, Region III, telephone number:
312-858-2660; or the Office of Inspection and Enforcement, NRC, Region IV, telephone number: 817-334-2841; or, the office of the Agreement state, as the situation and the location of the incident dictate.
Section 11 Page 2 of 5 Augus t 25, 1978 l~
trrILIZATION OF AIRCRAFT
(
In general, aircraft vill not be used as a means of transportation for g
Region 5 RAP Team members responding to a request for assistance.
In the event that an incident occurs within the region of CH responsibility at such a distance from Chicago (greater than 250 miles) that it cannot be properly handled by personnel dispatched from ANL, assistance vill normally be obtrined by calling teams at one of the several DOE centractors within the area.
However, if the magnitude or the severity of the incident requires the early arrival of CH and/or ANL personnel, the Health Physics Supervisor, OHS, ANL, (or during off-duty hours, the ANL Officer in Charge) will be directed to arrange for charter air service.
AERIAL MEASUREMENT SYSTE'i (AMS)
{
.he AMS Program has several aircraft appropriately equipped with a radiological measuring system. A crew of three is normally used for the special operation, and, depending on weather and operations status of the system, the aircraft can be at the scene within 24-hours af ter receipt of an emergency request. AMS is based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Names of Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier (EG&G) personnel at Santa Barbara and Las Vegas who are authorized to dispatch the AMS aircraf t to the scene of an incident are found in Section IX, Exhibit IV.
The 24-hour office telephone number listed for the aforementioned EG&G personnel is that of the Santa Barbara Laboratory. The following infor-mation will be needed:
1.
Brief description bf the emergency for preliminary planning of AMS utilization.
l 2.
The nearest airfield served by an airline or the best way for EG&G personnel to reach the scene.
3.
Interim contact man (name, location, and telephone number) to be used until AMS reaches the scene.
L 4.
Local contact man (name, location, and telephone number) to be used by AMS personnel at the scene.

('g ACTIVATIOM OF PIAN Incoming calls, notifying CH of an incident, will be received initially by either the Manager, CH; RAP Team Member, SD, CH; or by the ANL Security Division Senior Officer in Charge.
During duty hours, DOE RAP Team members will receive the initial notification of an incidenc. During off-duty hours the call will be received by the ANL Security 1
Division Senior Officer in Charge who will then contact the Director, SD, l
CH.
The Director, SD, CH, is not always available; therefore, a motification sequence list is used (see Section IX. Exhibit I).
The Manager, CH, or his
(
representative must make the final decision as to whether or not a team is l
required at the scene of an incident, and approval must be obtained before a team may depart.
Since it will be necessary for a team to be ready to respond at any hour, the Health Physics Supervisor, OHS, ANL, (or daring of f-duty hours, the ANL Security Division Senior Officer in Charge) has been designated as the ANL RAP Coordinator.
The duty of che ANL RAP Coordinator is to expedite the team's departure to the scene of an incident with a minimum of delay.

)
He should advise the caller to keep everyone away from the scene of the incident (2000 feet from weapons incident, at least 50 feet from other types of incidents). The basic information received or given out during the initial telephone call, as well as succeeding incoming and outgoing calls, should be briefly recorded, insofar as possible, acting the time and name of persons called and calling.
CH RESPONSIBILITY l
Regardless of the type of an offsite incident, whether involving DOE material, licensed material, or weapons material, the Safety Division representative, CH, upon receiving notification of an incident during working hours, will obtain i
the available information concerning the incident and then:
{
1.
Notify the Director SD, CH, and determine, with the assistance of SD whether a team should be activated or if the matter can be handled by telephone.
2.
If the initial incident report indicates a possible radiation hazard to people, CH will immediately begin to assemble a team.
If the initial inci-dent report indicates that nuclear weapons components are involved, the AL, DOE-Joint Nuclear Accident Coordinating Center (JNACC) should be notified as soon as possible. Telephone number 505-264-4667.
4 3.
While the team is assembling, additional information on the incident should be gathered in other to determine whether the team will be dispatched. A i
team will be dispatched to incidents in which there is reason to believe a radiation hazard to the public exists. In the event of nuclear weapons I
incidents, the team will avait instructions from AL, JNACC. If a team is required, the Manager will direct SD to activat > a team and to await in-structions and authorization to depart.
4.
Notify the Information Assistant, CH, and determine whether a representative of this group should accompany the team.
5.
Notify the Division of Operational and Environmental Safety (DOES),
Headquarters (HQ), by telephone, as soon as practicable of serious accidents, and of all incidents involving the transportation of radioactive material.
Follow with a report by teletype and timely situation reports.
6.
Notify DOES, HQ, (telephone number 301-353-3222) as soon as it is decided that CH will or will not disp 3cch a team to the incident scene.

DIT2IES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DOE TEAM LEADER It is most important for the DOE Team Leader to recognize that, except in cases of contractor or licensee incidents or incidents threatening the public health or welfare DOE has no power to act and can only advise local authorities of the actions to be taken.
1.
The fur.ction of the DOE Team Leader is to act for the Manager, CH, at the site of an incident and to direct the operations of the CH RAP Team.
2.
Public announcements (see Section VII, Sample Press Release) will be made by the Manager, CH, (or in the case of weapons incidents, by the Manager, AL) or the Information Assistant. The DOE Team Leader shall not make statements to the press or public without prior release by the Manager, CH, or the Information Assistant, CH, if possible. The contractor team leader must not make any statements to the public.
3.
SD, CH personnel who will act as the DOE Team Leader (upon designation by the Director, SD, CH) under RAP are listed in Section II, Exhibit I.
When designated, the DOE Team Leader should take the following action as required:
Call the Director, SD, CH, or the DOE Coordinator to obtain informa-a.
tion received in the initial call regarding the details of the incident including the name of the person to contact at the scene of the incident.
b.
Meet with the ANL Team in Room 21, Building 14, and determine:
(1) The status of readiness of the team assembly.
(2) The readiness of any special equipment required, l

(4) The adequacy of the planned transportatica to the scene.
(5) EstinC;ed travel time to the scene.
Pick up your assigned TR's and, if time allows, arrange for emer-c.
gency cash from the DOE Agent Cashier (optional).
d.
Call the DOE Coordinator for further information and give him details l
of team status. Request that the DOE Coordinator obtain the Manager's authorization to leave for the scene if not already granted.
a.
At the scene of the incident:
l (1) Report to the person in charge at the scene.
(This will probably i
be a civil official.
In the case of weapons incidents, a military i
representative may be present and in charge.)
(2) Specify the team's capal.111 ties to the person in charge.
(3) Promptly assess the radiological hazard (s) to the public whether or not the plant, local, or other officials in charge accept the I
DOE offer of radiological assistance.
If such hazard exists, or could develop, the DOE Team Leader will make appropriate recom-mandations to the authority in charge and remain at the scene
/
until it is clear that no public hazard exists or that appropriate
[\\
measures are being taken to prevent a public hazard.
(4) Establish headquarters, preferably in conjunction with the State Police or Civil Defense, where communications are available.
(5) Determine what action has already been taken relative to:
(a) Resc'ue.
(b) Delineation of the danger zone.
l (c) Recover operation.
(d) Firefighting.
(6) Follow arrangements made by the DOE Coordinator with agencies within the area of interest (i.e., State or local police) for assistance in transporting or escorting monitors to the scene of the incident.

(7) Make arrangements with local authorities to ensure the security as well as the safety of any classified information or material
[
in the ares.
\\
(8) Follow whatever other procedures seem appropriate.
(9) Except for DOE Public Information Officers, DOE or contractor personnel at the scene should not make any statements to the press or the public. The team members should not give any informa-tion to anyone other than the DOE Team Leader. Direct all public inquiries to the Nhnager, CH; the Information Assistant, l
I CH (if present; or the person in charge at the scene. In the case of DOE weapons incidents previously prepared statements which may be used with the permission of the Manager, CH, will be available both to couriers accompanying some shipments and to the DOE Team Leader (see Section VII).
(10) Contact the Menager, CH, through the DOE Coordinator, giving him a resume' DZ the situation and suggesting the content of the statements to be given to the press.
(11) No extensive decontamination should be attempted by the RAP Team.
Any decontamination assistance should be in the form of advice to civil groups, and limited generally to gross washdown of streets or surrounding areas with fire hoses or similar equipment.
In the case of weapons incidents, AL monitoring and decontamina--
tion crews will assume or assist in these duties.
(12) Upon return to CH, report to the Office Systems and Services Division the purchase of any services, materials, or supplies necessary to complete the mission and not paid from travel funds.
Note: Although the activities of the team are subject to the request of the civil authorities and technically under their direction, the individual safety of the team members is the responsibility of the DOE Team Leader and the contractor team leader and will not be sarrendered. Members shall conduct their work within the radiological safety limits specified by DOE in Section IV and/or Section V of this chapter. Collection of data is an essential part of the DOE Team Leader's function during the response to an incident. This information is vital to the DOE Coordinator for presentation in the final report.
l Whenever possible, the information should be obtained from those persons involved in the incident and those persons present at the time of the incident.

RECO.'C! ENDED EMERGENCY EXPOSURE GUIDES FOR RESCUE AND MONITORING PERSONNEL When external gamma radiation is present, a total dose of 100 Rem may be accepted, but only if the saving of human life may result. If the saving of life is not involved, a total dose should be kept below 25 Rem, and if possible, below 12 Rem (DOE /ERDAM Appendix 0524, Part III, D.l.3).
The dose received should be kept to the minimum practically attainable.
It is assumed that all rescue personnel will be acting as volunteers, and that rescue monitoring personnel will be wearing personnel monitoring devices capable of measuring the suspected dose rates. If personnel monitoring devices are not available, legal questions regarding the actual dose re-f ceived will likely arise. For this reason, persons without personnel moni-coring devices should be severely restricted in their exposure to provide an extra margin of safety.
FORTHEGENERALPUBLId' No person of the general public should be exposed to more than 5 Rem of radiarion. If possible, the dose should be kept below 500 mre.n.
PERMISSIBLE CONTAMINATION LEVELS FOR OFFSITE INCIDENTS 1.
While the purpose of RAP is not to cover remedial actions such as re-moval of residual contamination, efforts should be made to reduce con-tamination to the lowest level practicable and economical.
2.
Each radiation incident encountered by a RAP team must be evaluated according to the environmental parameters of the situation and con-clusions made for effective disposition. Action levels are here pre-sented as guidelines for RAP team decisions. These levels are intended to be those at which further RAP team emergency activities may cease.
l Extensive or prolonged monitoring ano decontamination operations assoc-1ated with the incident will be supplied by other than RAP team personnel.

.SUCCESTED DiERGENCY LEVELS FOR DRINKING WATER AND MILK
.s Concentration levels of radioactivity in water and milk are listed for emer-gency consumption. Levels above those listed should be cause for withdrawal of the source for human consumption.
Levels for ten-day consc=ption are based on 100 times the accepted MPC for nonoccupational use, and are based on decay rates, i.e., the initial levels would be reduced to roughly MPC in a ten-day period. Levels for thirty-day t
l consumption are similarly based on thirty times ITC levels.
I l
l Acceptable risk levels are also 3.isted, based on emergency exposures for DOE or DOE contractor employees who are subjected to routine monitoring in the course of their work. Milk levels are based on I-131 uptake in the thyroid of children and are 300 and 100 times MPC.

SECTION VI g
DIERGENCY ACTION GUIDELINES FOR INCIDENTS INVOLVING RADI0 ACTIVE MATERIAL (Revised: January 1975) l When incidents involve the spillage or release of radioactive material, or there are personal injuries in incidents involving radioactive materials, the following emergency actions and precautions should be applied:
1.
Notify immediately The telephone number is Request radiological emergency assistance. Request medical assistance if it appears that anyone is injured.
2.
Make every effort possible to rescue injured or trapped persons and re-move them from the incident area.
3.
Unless given by a physician, immediate first aid should be limited to those procedures necessary to save life or minimize injury.
4.
When it is necessary to send an individual to a hospital or other medi-cal facility BEFORE a radiological emergency team or physician knowledge-able in radiological health arrives, inform ambulance and other trans-porting vehicle personnel who will be in contact with the individual, of the possibility of radioactive contamination. Also, inform the hospital or medical facility that the individual may be contaminated with radio-active material..s N
5.
When in doubt that the radioactive material is still confined to its container, assume that the immediate incident area is radioactively contaminated and that anyone and anything in the area MAY BE contaminated; and take special care to minimize personal contact with the outer clothing of individuals, the surface of the ground, vegetation, and the surfaces of things within or removed from the incident area.
6.
Individuals not removed to a hospital or other medical facility and who are suspected of having been exposed to radioactive material should be detained until they can be appropriately monitored.
l 7.
Obtain the names and addresses of all persons involved, including those who cannot be detained and those removed for medical attention.
8.
Restrict access to the incident area and prevent unnecessary handling of incident debris. Keep the public away from the incident area as much as possible.
l l
Section VI
{g August 25, 1978 Page 1 of 3
l 9.
Fight fire as though toxic chemicals are involved. To the extent possible, keep upwind and avoid smoke, fu=es, and dust. Segregate clothing and tools used at the fire until they can be checked for radioactive contamination before being returned to normal use.
l l
10.
When a transportation incident involves radioactive material, DO NOT move vehicles, shipping containers, or wreckage except to rescue people. Detour pedestrian and vehicular traffic. If a right-of-way must be cleared before radiological emergency assistance arrives, move vehicles and debris the shortest distance required to open a pathway. Before permitting the passage of traffic, spillage on the cleared pathway should be washed, or wetted and swept, to the edge of the pathway with a minimum dispersal of wash wt er and spilled material.
11.
DO NOT eat, drink, or smoke in the incident area, o'r use food or drinking water that may have been in contact with radioactive material.
- 12. DO NOT handle, use, or remova from the incident area any material, equipment or other items suspected of being radioactively contaminated unless re-leased by radiation monitoring personnel.
ACTIONS BY THE RAP TEAMS The DOE Team Leader will:
1.
Report to the civil authorities in charge at the scene.
2.
Determine what act$on has already been taken relative to rescue, recovery I,
and danger zone delineation.
i 3.
Establish a command post where communications with CH and local civil or l
military authorities can be maintained.
4.
Establish perimeters as follows:
a.
Uncontrolled zone: Less than 2 mR/hr beta-gamma or 40 dpm/cm alpha.
or between b.
Limited zgne: Between2mRfhrand100mR/hrbeta-gamma 40 dpm/cm and 4,000 dpm/cm alpha.

SECTION VII PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING INCIDENTS INVOLVING NUCLEAR WEAPONS GENERAL PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to present unclassified information on Safety Precautions, Potential Health Hazards, and Procedures applicable at the scene of an accident involving atomic weapons.
BACKGROUND The extreme care devoted to the design of equipment and procedures for trans-porting atomic weapons has been repaid with a record of no inadvertent or unintentional nuclear detonations. Present procedures and transport equip-ment are based on both scientific knowledge and principles of safety engineering, as well as results of field experiments. In the United States, atomic weapons may be transported by aircraft, truck, train, or naval vessel.
In each case, weapons and components are installed in special containers which are securely fastened to the transport vehicle by carefully designed tiedowns and mountings.
Stringent safety measures have also been incorporated in the design of all atomic weapons. The latter measures, combined with existing handling and f
transportation procedures and equipment, are designed to preclude a nuclear
\\
explosion in the event of any accident, even of a military aircraft in opera-tional exercises.
It"is emphasized that for all atomic weapons in combat aircraft, a specific sequence of positive actions is required to ready them
[
for a nuclear detonation.
l POSSIBLE HAZARDS Even though nuclear weapons are so designed as to prevent a nuclear yield in the event of accidental detonation, there is still a probable hazard commen-surate with conventional weapons and materials. The two components of a nuclear weapon that constitute the most probable hazard in the case of an accident are:
(1) the conventional non-nuclear high explosives and (2) the plutonium. Other componenta may produce hazards, but they are of such a nature that precautions taken against explosives and plutonium are more than l
sufficient for their control. It should be kept in mind that accidents in-volving nuclear weapons or components will usually involve other materials in more widespread use, such as gasoline or other volatile and explosive fuels.
If fire occurs, acrid, suffocating and toxic fumes and smoke will j
probably be generated by the combustion of surrounding materials.
In that event, normal procedures and precautions applicable to the type of fire should be taken.
I

Section VII

Augus t 25, 1978 Page 1 of 8
1.
High Explosives Most atomic weapons will contain conventional high explosives in varying amounts up to many hundreds of pounds. These high explosives comprise the major hazard associated with accidents involving atomic weapons. Due to the probable presence of high explosives in any atomic weapons shipment, accidents or fires involving such shipments must be treated as would acci-dents or fires involving conventional high explosives. The following is a summary of knowledge concerning high explosives and their danger and should be cpplied to atomic weapons where appropriate.
l a.
Detonation In any incident involving a high explosive, there is a possibility of detcnation occurring. The detonation may range from a very small one to one of considerable magnitude or it may be a series of small explosions. The breakup of the weapon due to impact or small ex-plosion vill probably result in the local scattering of high explosive.
Rough handling as well as accidents may produce powdered explosives.
I Most explosives are more unstable in these conditions and are more apt to detonate due to changes in temperature and/or shock. Exposure to sunlight likewise increases the sensitivity of the explosive and changes its coloring usually making small pieces and powder difficult to distinguish from their surroundings. Thus, it is unwise for any one other than trained demolition personnel to attempt clearing an area of broken high explosives, 4
b.
Fire
.s If a nuclear weapon is enveloped in the flame of a gasoline or other fire, the explosive may ignite, burn, and in most cases, detonate.
These detonations may also range from one large to several small ones.
It is extremely difficult to extinguish large quantities of burning high explosives. Whenever burr:ng high explosives are confined, as in an intact weapon, detonation may occur at any time. When high explosives burn, " torching" (jets of white flame coming out of the weapon) may be observed but torching is not always evident before detonation. High explosives may melt at comparatively low tempera-tures, flow out of the weapon and resolidify. In this state, they are extremely sensitive to shock. If unconfined, high explosives may burn with the production of toxic gases and 1 cave a poisonous residue.
Ignition or detonation of the high explosives in a nuclear weapon involved in a fire can be prevented if the tenperature of the explosives is kept below 300 F.
c.
Disposal Only personnel specially trained in high explosives disposal should attempt to clean up, recover, or dispose of high explosives.
Section VII August 25, 1978 Page 2 of 8
l d.
Nuclear Yield I
\\,
While it is not feasible to predict the exact effect of an accident involving hi;h explosives, it is considered that the possibility of the accidental nuclear explosion of a nuclear weapon is so remote as to be negligible.

Plutonium Plutonium may become dispersed as small particles as the result cf impact or detonation of the high explosives, or as fumes if a fire occurs.
a.
Body Effects When small particles of plutonium are suspended in the air, it is I
possible to inhale them and thus deposit plutonium in the lungs.
It may also get into the body through swallowing, but in such cases only a small percentage is retained by the body, since the plutonium is in a highly inscluble form. Cuts in the skin provide a third source of entry through which plutonium may enter the bloodstream.
Plutonium is not a hazard if it remains outside the body because it is an alpha emitter. The alpha particles have a very short range and lack the ability to penetrate the skin. This characteristic of plutonium radiation makes its behavior markedly different from that of fallout from an atomic explosion in that it does not emit the more penetrating beta and gamma radiation. It is noted that conventional survey meters are of little use in detecting alpha radiation, and only special teams trained for handling nuclear acci-dents are capable of evaluating the radiological situation at the I
scene of an accident.
b.
Amount Available Field experiments indicate that the principal potential source of intake of plutonium into the body is inhalation during the passage of the cloud resulting from the detonation of the explosive, or a fire. Safety restrictions have been placed on the number of atomic weapons per shipment, so that the plutonium inhaled from an accident i
would not result in serious injury. Once the fine particles have been deposited on the ground, the hazard is markedly reduced. Whereas it is always desirable to reduce to a minimum the intake of plutonium, where necessary one may enter or remain in a highly contaminated open area for short periods of time (up to several houro) after i
passage of the cloud.
c.

tamination for those who must enter the smoke. Members of the special
(
radiological team wear full protective clothing, since they usually remain in the area for considerable lengths of time; however, tha nonavailability of any or all of these items should not hold up rescue operations. Potential hazards in buildings can be reduced by shutting doors and windows and turning off ventilation equipment.
INERGENCY PROCEDURES GENERAL 1.
DOD and DOE have specially trained and equipped RAP teams prepared to deal with all aspects of accidents involeing atomic weapons. These teams include ordnance disposal personnel and decontamination facilities. Their assistance may be obtained by contacting the nearest military or DOE installation..
2.
In the event of an accident involving atomic weapons or military vehicles suspected of carrying atomic weapons, report the incident immediately to fire and police departments, and in addition, to the nearest military installation or DOE office. Give brief details of the accident, and if an aircraft is involved, its type, i.e., transport, bomber, or fighter.
In the event of an accident occurrir.g on a military base, all concerned should follow the accident procedures of the base.
ACTION 1.
Action by first observer pendine arrival of authorities Give immediate assistance to personnel where possible. However, s.
except for the saving of lives, keep away from the accident. There i
is always the danger of a detonation of the conventional high ex-l plosives.
b.
Report accident immediately, with brief description as above, to the nearest military installation or DOE office, local fire and police departments.
Organize other witnesses to keep sightseers away from the accident.
c.
In the open, an exclusion distance of 2,000 feet should be estab-lished because of the potential harards from the direct blast effects of a detonation of conventional high explosives, but cover must be taken even at this range from secondary missiles flung into the air by the explosion.
If there has been no explosion and it.is suspected I
that a bomb is involved, there may still be an explosion.
Except for the purpose of saving lives, keep away from the accident.

Avoid smoke and clear downwind area, but if dente smoke must be en-countered for long periods of time, dust filtering masks, goggles, or breathing apparatus should be used. These are not needed for short stays in the smoke and their nonavailability should never hold up rescue efforts. Personnel who have entered smoke in the accident area must report to the special team for monitoring, and, if necessary, decontamination after initial action is over.
. After the burning has subsided, and if the special team has not yet arrived:
(1) do not attempt to clean up the scene of the accident, (2) do not permit reentry into scene of accident by anyone. Rope off scene in a semi-permanent manner; and (3) organize all personnel that may have been contaminated to preclude the spreading of plutonium about the environs so that they can be monitored by the special team on arrival, h.
Follow advice of the special radiological team upon their arrival.
RESPONSIBILITIES GENERAL HL W E RESPONSIBILITIES The major consideration commensurate with the safety of emergency personnel should be the safety ci persons endangered by the accident and/or the potential explosion. These personnel may be aircraft crews, truck drivers, couriers, or members of the public.
COURIERS l
l Nuclear weapons are classified items of material, and, as such, must be safeguarded at all times. Couriers are personnel physically accompanying shipments of atomic weapons material for security purposes. In effect, the courier " owns" the material while he is the direct custodian of the material. While physically able, it is the courier's responsibility to protect the material from loss or security compromise (i.e., view and handling by unauthorized personne.1).
DOE /DOD DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITIES DOE and D0D have agreed on the following general division of responsi-bilities between them in all cases of accidents involving nuclear weapons:
Section VII August 25, 1978 Page 6 of 8
1.
"Immediate responsibility" for providing technical direction at scene
(
cf an accident will be assumed by the service or agency (DOE) first
\\
arriving on the scene.
2.
Primary and continuing responsibility for providing technical direction at the scene of the accident will be assumed by the service or agency i
(DOE) having physical possession at the time of the accident (when their personnel arrive).
DOE and DOD maintain JNACC which can dispatch additional special teams, as appropriate, upon the request of the responsible agency.
LIAISON WITH AL Purpose Under RAP, AL has the major responsibility to maintain a capability for handling incidents involving nuclear weapons, weapons components, and radio-active materials in D0D custody or identified as the property of a military j
service organization. Liaison with AL is, therefore, required:
c 1.
To inform AL of any report made to CH of weapons incident and to deter-mine from AL whether a train, vehicle, or aircraf t incident involved weapons or weapons components.
2.
To effect prior coordination with AL before CH makes announcements concerning a weapons incident.
3.
To report periodically the status of the effort at a weapons incident scene when CH personnel are in command or are involved in the response.
4.
Liaison with AL is recommended to request AL assistcace in handling a radiological incident, other than a weapons incident, occurring within CH jurisdiction.
l l
S.
To report to AL all military service requests for CH assistance and CH requests for military service assistance.
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION FOR REPORTING An individual reporting a radiological incident to JNACC should ensure that i
as much as possible of the following information is provided:
1.
Location of the incident and nature of the surroundings.
2.
Description of the incident.
3.
Kind and amount of material involved.

SUMMARY
GENERAL In the event of a nuclear weapon accident, the high explosives in a weapon will constitute the main danger. The nuclear material that would be spread about an accident area by a high explosives detonation will not cause any radiation damage to personnel if kept outside the body. Toxic or caustic gases may be produced in the burning or vaporization of weapons. Radioactive fumes from any plutonium that may be burning will accompany the toxic and caustic gases to form a smoke cloud that should be avoided.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERSONNEL Personnel approaching an accident in which it is believed an atomic weapon is involved should:
1.
Attempt to save lives where possible; otherwise, keep away from accident l
area.
l 2.
Notify the fire and police departments and in addition, the nearest military installation headquarters or DOE office.
I 3.
Secure area. Clear it of all non-essential personnel out to 2,000 feet or more.
4.
Refrain from touching, removing, or examining any items in the vicinity of an explosion.

REGION 5 IRAF AGENCIES, LOCATIONS AND COSTACTS
\\
The Chicago Operations Office (CH) is the IRAP Coordination Office for Region 5.
The contacts listed below, supplement the information and are to be used in conjunction with the RAP Handbook.
At the present time (excepting DOE operating installations) the military
^*tablishments in Region 5 have the more advanced capabilities for response
.o an incident under IRAP. The Department of the Army, represanted by the Nuclear Accident / Incident Control (NAIC) teams, Chemical Biological Radio-logical (CBR) teams, or the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams, and Lk2 Department of the Air Force represented by EOD and CBR teams have the capa-bility to monitor and control incidents involving weapons, and radioactive materials. All requests for IRAP assistance involving milf rary teams should be coordinated through JNACC, DOE Element, Telephone Numbe 505-264-4667 (Commer eial) or 475-4667 (FTS).
The capabilities of the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency (DCPA) are oriented toward national emergencies and incidents at large scale proportions. They are defined under three categories:
(1) a limited radiological monitoring capability, (2) a good communications capability, and (3) a good site -logistics capability.
The Regional Of fices of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW) have limited monitoring capabilities, usually with the Food and Drug Adminis-These capabilities are generally oriented toward air, water, and food tration.
As the DCPA, the DHEW's emergency role is, in general, reserved sampling.
for national emergencies with the primary mission being the assuranca of the safety, purity, and wholesonaness of the food and drug supply of the nation.
Other Federal agencies within IRAF have limited response capabilities, generally in the area of mat. power, transportation, and specialized technical assistance.
