EMERGENCY #'S INITIAL EMERGENCY ACTIONS l

UNIVERSrrY OF VIRGINIA REACTOR FACILITY In the unlikely event of a radiological emergency at the Reactor Facility the building evacuation alarm will be activated and the UVAR and CAVALIER reactors will be shut down. All occupants will exit the Facility and the senior individual on site will notify the Director of the Reactor Facility or a Reactor Supervisor. If none of them are present, the senior staff member will be in charge until the Director or Supervisor arrive. In addition to calling the people listed below, the Emergency Director should consult the Emergency Plan's Implementing Procedures (EPIP's).

.. 'INITIALEMERGENCY ACTIONS EPIP-6, Attachment 1 UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA REACTOR FACILITY revision 15: May 93 O Upon notification of an emergency at the Reactor Facility,the Health Physicist and personnel of the Radiation Safety Office will proceed immediately to the Reactor site and at the direction of i the Emergency Director conduct surveys. They will determine which areas,if any, are unsafe and J will issue any specific instructions necessary for protection of personnel. They will also monitor the  ;

airborne activity,if any, until it has dispersed to negligible levels.

It is anticipated that any radioactive releases will be confined primarily within the reactor 3 room. However, to ensure that protective and corrective actions are taken in the event that levels  ;

of radioactivity exceed the limits specified for unrestricted areas by 10 CFR part 20, the radiation ,

levels at the site boundary downwind from the reactor building will be monitored (the wind direction and velocity are indicated by instruments located on the main floor of the reactor building).  ;

Ifit is determined that airborne activity releases greater than those allowed in unrestricted areas by 10 CFR 20 having occurred or are likely, as indicated by radiation dose rates exceeding 2  :

mrem /hr at the site boundary, additional surveys will be made beyond the reactor site boundary to determine the extent of the affected area. If the affected area cannot be determined in a timely )

manner, this area will be assumed to be the area in the downwind sector (a sector is 22.5 degrees)  !

and the adjacent two sectors to a distance of 2,000 feet radius from the Reactor Facility.

Installationswithin this radius include the Aerospace Research Laboratory,McCormickObservatory, the Filtration Plant, the High Energy Physics Laboratory, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory Building, the Highway Research Council Building, the Mineral Resources and Forestry Building, the University Maintenance Shops, the Students' Dormitories extending to the entrance i to Scott Stadium, the Slaughter Recreation Center and the Special Materials Handling Facility. I Once the affected area has been delined, the University Police will, at the E. Director's request, notify personnelin this area that a release of radioactive material has occurred and provide instructions to minimize the effect on the public. The most likelyinstructions will be personnel to remain indoors with all windows and doors closed and ventilation systems turned off, awaiting further instructions. Evaluation of specific areas will also be considered. The University Police will control access to the affected areas.

In the event that individuals at the reactor site are injured in an accident, the Charlottesville- .

Albemarle Rescue Squad and UniversityHospital will be notified. An ambulance with advanced life i support capability will be sent immediately to the scene of the accident. If the condition of the I injured patient has been stabilized, the patient will be decontaminated to the extent necessary or possible at the reactor site prior to transfer to the Emergency Medical Service. The University Hospital is prepared to receive and treat at once any individual who has received a significant radiation over-exposure.

The Emergency Director will notify the University Police and other organizations of the termination of an emergency.

Copies of these initial emergency response actions will be posted in prominent places at the l Reactor Facility, the Office of the University Police and the Special Materials Handling Facility.  !

Further detailed emergency procedures are to be found in the Reactor Facility's Emergency Plan  !

and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EP and EPIP's).
