PREREQUISITES 1.
Activation of Environs Group Teams.
O 2.
Each team snou1d be eou1pped witn or have access to necessary sampling equipment as described in Appendix A.
3.
Each team member should be properly trained in the use of the sampling equipmment and be familiar with all the applicable procedures.
4..
. The Environs Grows under the supervision of the Rad / Chem or Environs Director will consist of personnel from CECO and contractors designated to assist the groups.
' O.
PRECAUTIONS l'.
When entering an area where unknown types and concentrations of airborne radioactive material exist, the Environs Director shall direct what type of respiratory
- protection is needed and if protective clothing shall be worn, as the situation warrar '.s (per EG-4).
2.
Only calibrated instruments and air sampling equipment shall be used. Equipment shou.d be tested before use, and if it responds incorrectly, the. Environs Director should be notified and the instrument rec 1?ced with a working model.

EG-3 Revision 4 April,1983 4.
When noole gases are suspected to be present, completely bag and seal the C.P. in a plastic bag. Tape thoroughly but do not put tape over the end window.
5.
When taking a reading at 6 inches above the ground, be careful not to damage or contaminate the probe face by hitting the ground, f
6.
The'following ALARA considerations apply, a.
The Environs Director will exercise ALARA considerations for the environs teams by keeping 2
them away from the plume centerline as much as possible, especia]1y close to the station where exposure rates may be very high.
b.
While the environs teams are running their air sampling equipment they should effectively use their time by collecting other samples as requested by the Environs Director (e.g. soil, water, vegetation samples).
In high radiation fields the environs team should as practical, leave the area and after 1
5-10 minutes come back and retrieve their air sampling equipment.
c.
The environs team will immediately inform the Environs Director when radiation levels exceed 100 mR/hr.
E.
LIMITATIONS AND ACTIONS 1.
An inventory and inspection will be performed on a quarterly basis and after each use as required by each Station's procedures to ensure the operational readiness of the Environs Sampling Kits.
l 2.
Verify that the equipment and supplies listed in l
Attachment A are present and/or operable. If items are l
missing, not in adequate supply or inoperable ensure l
corrective action is taken to clear the deficiency.
l 3.
Calibrate all instruments in the Environs Sampling Kit I
quarterly.
j 4.
Film badges or TLD's will be individually sealed in-i plastic with a desiccant and replaced semi-annually.
'5.
Ensure all dosimeters are quality control tested every-six months in accordance with each station's procedures.
6.
Replace all spare batteries in the Environs Sampling Kit l
annually.
l 7.
The Environs Sampling Kit inventory should be reviewed by a member of the Stations' health physics _ staff after it has been completed.
O Page 2 of 9 l
O EG-3 Revision 4 April, 1983 8.
Initiation of environmental sampling activities and direction of the Environs Groups will be performed by the Rad / Chem Director until the Environs Director has been notified and assumes his duties.
9.
If the radiation levels at the site boundary are significantly elevated, initial emphasis should be placed on determination of offsite radiation levels and identification of areas that require controlled access and or evacuation.
10.
If the areas have a significantly elevated radiation level, entry shall be at the discretion of the Environs Director. Appropriate clothing and respiratory protection shall then be issued. (Ref. EG-4)
F.
PROCEDURE 1.
At each measurement location take 6-inch and 6-foot readings in both the window open and closed window positions. For the 6-inch readings, hold the C.P. and window tcwards the ground. Average the gamma reading obtained over a 30 second the span. Record readings.
O 2.
easure tae1ation levels along tne plume periphery at two or more distances downwind of the station, following the l,
guidance of the Environs Director. The Environs Director will use these measurements to determine the centerline exposure rate and extrapolate downwind, taking Pasquill conditions into account.
3.
Measure at points in a pre-planned grid pattern that is centered over the downwind line relative to the station.
l 4.
a.
If the beta / gamma readings at 6 inches and 6 feet above the ground indicate no beta radiation is present (i.e., window opened and window closed readings are the same), then the team is not submerged in the plume and is measuring predominately gamma radiation from the nearby plume, not ground contamination. Therefore, the gamma radiation measurement at 6 feet is appropriate to use when determining the wholecody exposure rate.
O G
Page 3 of 9 1
EG-3 Revision 4 April, 1983 b.
If the beta readings at 6 feet are significantly less than the 6 inch readings, then it is probable that the team is not submerged in the plume and is measuring contamination from the ground. Under.
these conditions, the gamma radiation measurement at J
6 inches may be higher than the 6 feet gamma measurement and the larger value should be used to determine the wholebody expsosure rate.
c.
If the beta readings at 6 feet and 6 inches above the ground indicate positive beta radiation is present (i.e. Window open minus window closed is positive), then it is probable that the team is submerged in the plume and is measuring predominately beta / gamma radiation from the plume.
However, these C.P. readings are not representative of the beta / gamma dose rate from the plume unless the C.P. is completely sealed from the entry of noble gases into the chamber.#4509A l
l S.
If the 6" and 6' surveys indicate the probable prasence of ground contamination (from Step F.4.b), take a window closed reading at 3' above the ground. Report the net O
contamination dose rate (m R/1.). The net contamination
~ dose rate is the diffrence between the 3' level reading over the suspected ground contamination and the 3' level reading measured at a nearby, uncontaminated area.
6.
Analyze the air samples in a low background area ( 200 cpm). Remove the particulate filter from the canister and measure the filer with a GM equipped with an HP210 probe or equivalent. Subtract tha background count data (measured at 1 meter) from the particulate filter measurements. 'The' iodine canister should be measured with a SAM-II or equivalent.
7.
Record all results in the sampling log and note the location (s) of ground contamination. Contact the Environs Director with this information.

2A.
Personnel Dosimetry, a)
The Environs or Rad / Chem Director is responsible for obtaining, evaluating, and recording radiation exposure information for each emergency personnel member exposed to radiation in the field.
1.
Beta-gamma film badges are to be routinely worn.
2.
If neutron radiation exposure is suspected, a
- highly unlikely occurrence in the field, the beta-gamma badge shall De replaced by a special film badge which is beta-gamma, fast and thermal heutron-sensitive, or wear in addition to beta-gamma film, a neutron film badge.
3.
A beta-gamma finger ring, in addition to whole body dosimetry, will be issued to emergency personnel where the extremity dose rate is extremely high and is likely to be the limiting dose for the job.
4.
All emergency personnel shall be equipped with a low range (0-200 mr) and high range (}_ 50 R) direct reading dosimeters.
5.
Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD) are to be used, if available, in lieu of film cadges.

PREREQUISITES 1.
None D.
-PRECAUTIONS 1.
Pbtassium iodide should not be taken by persons who know they are allergic to iodine.
2.
Taking more than the recommended doses of potassium iodide may cause undesirable side effects. 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 unset and diarrhea).
. 3.
For continuing exposure conditions, one potassium iodide taolet should be taken each day. KI should not be taken.for more than 10 days unless otherwise specified by the Company Medical Director.
O Page 1 of 8
- O so-5 Revision 1 Ane, 1983 E.
LIMITATIONS AND ACTIONS 1.
Tablets contain 130 mg. of potassium iodide each and are to be administred at the rate of one (1) tablet once each day to adults who were or will be subjected to a caiculated dose equivalent of 10 rem or greater to the thyroid via radiciodine inhalation.
2.
Potassium iodide tablets are to be stored in tightly closed containers and protected from light. They should be replaced at the end of their three year shelf life.
F.
PROCEDURE Pbtassium iodide should be administered as follows:
1.
One potassium iodide tablet (130 mg) should be taken as soon as possible after an individual has been or will be subjected to a calculated dose equivalent of 25 rem or greater to the thyroid or Deing subjected for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to an airborne concentration of I-131 of 1.25 E-5 uCi/cc or greater, that was
. O or cou1d be caused ex radioiodiae inha1atioa. Tne cose equivalent to the thyroid gland can be calculated by the use of the ' attached nomograms for I-131 (Attachment A), I-133
( Attachment B), I-135 ( Attachment C).
2.
To use the nomogram the concentration of the radionuclide in uci/cc and the duration time of the exposure in hours is needed. The dose equivalent to the thyroid is determined by connecting the radionuclide concentration in uci/cc with the exposure time in hours.
The point where the line intersects the thyroid oose equivalent line gives the dose equivalent in rem.
3.
The committed dose equivalent to the thyroid gland can be calculated as follows:
1 O
Page 2 of 8
EG-5 Revision 1 3;ne, 1983 H50(rem) =
1 XI BDt i
where H50(rem) =
the total committed dose equivalent in rem averaged throughout the thyroid tissue in the 50 years after intake of radiciodine into the body.
X=
average concentration of i
radionuclide i in air in uci/cc over the duration of exposure t.
The primary nuclides of interest are I-131, I-132, I-133, I-134, and
.I-135.
B=
breathing rate in cc/hr over the duration of exposure 1.2 x 106 cc/hr (assumed).
Di=
dose conversion factor in rem /uci inhaled of radionuclide i for the thyroid gland, t=
duration of exposure in hours.
4.
The Company Medical Director is to be notified immediately for any suspected exposure. - L.pon being notified of such an incident the Medical Director is to offer any additional advice as necessary.
Time is an important factor in any suspected radiciodine exposure situation. The effectiveness of KI as a thyroid blocking agent drops quickly as a function of time. If KI is taken:
a.
Before or concurrently with exposure it is about 905 effective; b.

EG-5 Revision 1 June, 1983 EXAMPLE CALCULATION An example calculation using the equation from step F.2.c. is as follows: Assuming I-131 is the only nuclide of concern with a concentration of 1.0 E-05 uci/cc, then; HSO(rem) = X B0 t where: 8 = 1.2E06 cc/hr.
D = 1.5 rem /uci X = 1.0E-05 uci/cc H50(rem) = 25 rem t = duration of exposure in hours t=
25 mm (1.0E-05 uci) (1.2E06 g) (1.5 rem) cc hr uci t=
25 rem
~
(1.0E-05 uci) (1.8E06 cc-rem) cc hr-uci i
i t=
25 mm l a w '"
hr.
t=
1.4 hrs.
Therefore, the use of KI is warranted if the expected or actual exposure ti:ne is greater than 1.4 hrs.

PURPOSE This procedure prescribes methods to facilitate the acurate transmission, reception, and recording of radio messages and conversations during actual or orill/ exercise GSEP operations.
B.
REFEREPCE 1.
Generating Station Emergency Plan, latest edition.
C.
PREREQUISITES 1.
None.
D.
PRECAUTIONS 1.
It is essential that information, instructions, facts and recommendations be transmitted and recorded without error during actual or simulated abnormal situations. An accurate and complete record of information will be used as the basis for current and future decisions. Brevity is necessary oecause a large number of time sensitive O
a v a a to a tr a itt a ov r it it a a= a r of communications systems.
2.
Environs Group field teams and the Environs Director should use the scramoled mode of radio operation when communicating.
3.
The GSEP radio uses the same frequency as is used by civisions to conduct vehicle to vehicle comunications ano I
as a common frequency to enable vehicles from all divisions to communicate while participating in an Emergency Restoration of Power (ERP). In order to prevent a cisruption of normal operations or unsafe conditions, the Production Department nas agreed to provide two weeks I
advanced notice to the affected civisions when the radio is to be used for an extended period. During actual emergency courtesy telephone notifications will be made by the Communications Director /as soon as practial. Contact numoers for divisions are:
l PHONE DIVISION Ex: 3100 Northern Ex: 4502 Western Ex: 5700 Southern Ex: 2241 Rock River Page 1 of 5 1
O EG-7 Revision 2 April, 1983 E.
LIMITATIONS AND ACTIONS 1.
The GSEP radio system was established for use by the Environs Group. Others may use the radio if the channel is clear but such use should be kept to a minimum and only when alternate communication systems are not availaole.
2.
All radio communications with the field teams should be logged and significant information summarized on the environmental assessment log (Appendix A).
F.
PROCEDURE 1.
Only one station on a radio network may transmit at any given time if understandable messages are to De received.
Two stations transmitting at the same time will produce interference that will prevent eitner message from being received. For this reason it is necessary to keep transmission orief and estaolish procedures to enable all I
stations to know when you are finished tran,smitting.
O 2.
vour 1ocation transmits on1x wh11e vou are dearessino
" push-to-talk" button. The following simplified Prowards will oe used to assist in and shorten radio communications:
PROWORD E ANIlO OVER I nave finished transmitting, but expect a response.
OUT I have finished transmitting. No response is necessary. The channel is now clear for other messages.
ROGER I understand and acknowledge your message.
(00'not use this Proward if you do not understand.)
SAY AGAIN Repeat your message.
I don't understand it.
SAY AGAIN, ALL I understand everything before AFTER Repeat your message from that point.
I SAY AGAIN I am repeating my message.
Page 2 of 5
EG-7 Revision 2 April, 1983 F.
PROCEDURE (Continued...)
ESSAE FOLLOWS I am going to transmit a message.
Be prepared to copy it.
(I) REPEAT FOR (I am repeating). Please repeat POSSIBLE the message to make sure it is CORRECTION correct.
3.
Listen to make sure that no other station is sending a mest age.
4.
Establish contact using your call sign or other station identification and the receiving party's identification or call sign.
Example:
" FIELD TEAM ONE THIS IS EOF, OVER" --- (Release push to talk button)
Field Team 1 "THIS IS FIELD TEAM ONE, OVER."
O 5.
Begin transmitting the message. Speak clearly and slowly. Transmit the message in short segments to allow the receiver to indicate if he understands each segment.
Example:
EOF "THIS IS EOF, ESSA 2 FQ. LOWS, OVER" Field Team 1 "THIS IS FIELO TEAM ONE, WAIT, (Gets ready to write) SEND YOUR MESSAE, OVER" EOF "THIS IS EOF. MESSAE FOLLOWS, FIELD TEAM TWO HAS DISCOVERED........... TO TFREE MILES.
MESSAE CONTINUES OVER".
Field Team 1 "THIS IS FIELD TEAM ONE, ROGEF., OVER"
-or "SAY AGAIN.ALL AFTER DISCCVERED OVER" 6.
Complete transmitting the message in short understandable segments and have the person receiving the message read it back. The receiver can read back for correction in longer sepents since the sender does not need to write the message.
7.
As soon as the message is verifieo as being correct, break contact to enable other stations to send messages.
Page 3 of 5
O ec-7 Revision 2 April, 1983 F.
PROCEDURE (Continuec...)
Field Team 1
"-....... RETL.RN TK SA.RES. END OF MESSAGE OVER."
EOF "THIS IS EOF, ROGER, YOU HAVE A CORRECT COPY, OUT," (8reak contact)
It is possible to transmit and receive messages througn minor static and interference, if inoiviouals use proper procedures and speak clearly.
8.
Base stations and selected portaole radios have the capacility to transmit and receive in scrambled mode. By using scramoled communications, the sender and receiver can De reasonably sure that the transmission will not be overheard by an unintended listener. Since it is not certain that unintended listeners will be monitoring the Commonwealtn Edison frequency the decision to scramble messgae transmissions should be based on tvto considerations. First, is the effect the information could have on an unintended listener. Second, is the need rO to communicate with radios that don't have a scramoler V
capaollity.
9.
As a rule of thumb, Environs Groups field teams should be provided with radios capaole of operating in the scrambled mooe. Oose rate readings from field teams and speculative discussions by company officials should De scrambled.

After all the people have been surveyed and oecontaminated (if necessary), the RP personnel will survey and decontaminate (if necessary) all vehicles used to take station personnel to the relocation center (s).
4.
Keep a record of all the people and vehicles surveyed at tne centers.
i 5.
If personnel contamination of team members is suspected, identify contaminated areas with a GM survey instrument.
Direct readings of 3000 dpm/100 cm2 or greater (above background) require decontamination.
6.
Once contamination is discovered, a decision must be made O
as to where the decontamination should take place.
If practical, proceed to a Commonwealth Edison nuclear generating station. Decontamination can then De performed at the station decontamination facility in accordance with that station's approved procedures.
7.
If it is decided to perform decontamination in the fielo, keep the following facts in mind in order to optimize the selected decontamination location:
a.
A source of water is necessary; this can include containers of water transported to an area, a river or lake, or a local household faucet, etc.
o.
A low background area is necessary so that contamination levels can be monitored.
c.
If it is daylight and weather is favorable, cecontamination may be performed outdoors.
Otherwise, the decontamination should be performed inside a lighted structure.
8.
Set up a means for controlling effluents and containing contaminated waste materials. For minor contamination problems, a bucket ano a plastic bag are adequate.
In aodition, it is advisaole to place a large (10'x10')
plastic sneet on the floor or ground to help control the spread of contamination.
9.
Remove and place contaminated clothing in plastic bags for later decontamination or disposal.
O 10.
Assuming the decontamination procedure is a team effort, the person performing the decontamination should wear protective clothing (at least gloves) to prevent self-contamination.

12.
Repeat Step 11 until oecontamination is completed or no significant improvement is observed. An acceptable level of contamination would be 3000 dpm/100 cm2 above background.
Iceally, all contamination should be removed.
13.
Record final monitoring results in the team log book.

PROCEDURE (Continued...)
14 Dispose of soap, brushes, and other articles used for decontamination by placing them in plastic bags and later trar. sporting to a Commonwealth Edison nuclear facility for proper disposal.
15.
If possiele, also transport contaminated waste water to a Commonwealth Ecison nuclear facility.
If containment of tne waste water was not possiole, mark the area as contaminated. A decision can be later made if area decontamination is necessary.
It may be decided that flushing the area with water towarcs a storm sewer or river is acceptacle.
16.
As soon as practical, a follow-up shower should be taken at a Comonwealth Edison nuclear station accontamination facility. A bioassay should also be considered.
