AFFIDAVIT OF ROGER E. LINNEMANN, M.D.
ON REED CONTENTION 8 (RADIATION DETECTION EQUIPMENT)
City of Philadelphia )
) ss.
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania )
ROGER E. LINNEMANN, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
- 1. I am a medical doctor with particular expertise in the area of radiological health. I am certified by the American Board of Radiology and the American Board of Nuclear Medicine.
I am Clinical Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and a visiting Clinical Associate Professor of Radiology at Northwestern 8305250458 830520 PDR ADOCK 05000483 0 PDR
i University School of Medicine. I am also Vice Chairman of 1
Radiation Management Corporation ("RMC"), a consulting firm which I established in 1968 to provide emergency medical expertise and support in the event of an accident involving injury to employees of nuclear power plants and to provide routine radiological health consulting on radiation health and safety to workers in nuclear facilities. Presently, RMC's Emergency Medical Assistance Program provides 24-hour emergency support to some 20 nuclear power plant sites throughout the country. Additionally, we have laboratory capability to measure radiation in the working environment of a nuclear power plant as well as in the outside environment. We did extensive analysis of the environment around Three Mile Island during the TMI-2 accident. This analysis included, among other things, Iodine concentrations in the food pathway chain. On behalf of
' Union Electric Company, RMC is currently developing a training program for medical personnel who might be called upon in the event of a radiological emergency at the Callaway Plant. This program involves the developing of the proper facilities, supplies, equipment and personnel at tae Callaway Memorial Hospital to enable the hospital to provide emergency treatment and' care of the radiation injury as well as the. contaminated and injured patient. In addition, plant personnel will be trained in the first aid and rescue'of radiation injuries, and the local ambulance support will be trained in the transporta-tion of radiation injuries. This will be annual training
~
combined with an exercise to maintain proficiency at the Callaway Memorial Hospital in the event of a radiation injury occurring at the site. A summary of my professional quali-
-fications and experience'is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". I have personal knowledge of the matters stated herein and believe them to be true and correct. I make this affidavit in response to Reed Contention 8 (Radiation Detection Equipment) in this proceeding.
- 2. The purpose of this affidavit is to respond to the concern expressed by Mr. Reed in Contention 8 regarding the absence of an off-site facility in Missouri for evaluating personal exposures to radiation or biological uptake of -
radionuclides.
- 3. The evaluation of external exposure of the population (the public or emergency workers) in the event of a radiolog-ical emergency at the Callaway Plant resulting in releases of radiation will be accomplished in the following manner: An excellent estimation of the exposure can be obtained by the Union Electric Company environmental monitoring system that is in place prior to the accident. These estimates will be verified by State field monitoring teams as well as Union Electric Company teams. Using this information.and the specific location of the individual, one can obtain a good estimate of external exposure. Laboratory analyses of blood can also be used to determine external exposures. Initially, these blood tests (complete blood count) can and will be
\
l
performed by any standard hospital laboratory. More specialized tests, for example chromosone analyses, could be done on a selective basis and under very unusual circumstances
,of high exposure. This test need not be done immediately, but can be performed in due time (days to weeks) by specialized laboratories to which the samples can be dispatched by mail.
However, this would only be appropriate in the event of extremely high exposures, which are not anticipated and furthermore would be avoided because of the ability to take appropriate protective action, e.g., evacuation.
- 4. Potential internal contamination of the population would occur primarily through inhalation. Survey for this can be accomplished by the use of portable thyroid counters available from RMC to measure radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland'at designated locations around the Callaway. area if
.necessary. The primary method for determining the amount and-location and types of radionuclides that may be internally incorporated is through whole body counting. It is not necessary, in my opinion, that the State of Missouri have a whole body counter. Portable whole body counters are available 4
as close as Chicago, through.RMC, and others can be obtained in 4
Pennsylvania and California. These'can be brought to the area of the Callaway Plant as necessary, in accordance with prior arrangements that Union Electric has made with RMC.- It is not necessary that whole body counting be done immediately. It can be done in an organized fashion over the next few days or more 5
, m, . -- , ., - -, w- , - - - - . - - , , . - % . - ~ - , _ c,
., e following the accident and the results can be back-extrapolated to the date of the accident. This was done very effectively at Three Mile Island. Analysis of excreta (urine,-feces) is another method of analyzing the internal incorporation of radionuclides. However, with the. radiation releases to be expected.in a nuclear plant accident, whole body counting is
- the far_ superior method for evaluating-internal incorporation of radionuclides. If necessary, however, excreta analyses can be performed on a selective basis.
- 5. In conclusion, the State of Missouri and local gov;rnments have available to them the necessary equipment, laboratory facilities and expertise to evaluate in a timely manner both external and internal radiation exposures to the population. There is therefore no need for any additional radiation detection equipment .to'p'erform ,these assiessments.
