How it Works The Catawba Nuclear Station uses steam to generate elec-tricity. Steam pushes against the blades of a turbine to turn a them. As the turbine spins, it turns a generator. The generator produces electricity. Since Catawba is a nuclear station, it uses uranium as its fuel. Uranium atoms can be split apart. This process is called nuclear fission. When the atoms split, heat and fission products are produced. The heat is used to make steam. Some of the fission pmducis are radioactive. The plant is designed to keep this radiation inside. There are three separate systems of water at Catawba. Water in one system doesn't touch water in another system. The first system is the primary water system (shown in green). It circulates around the nuclear fuel, called the core (1). As it flows through the reactor (2), it heats to about 600* E Because this water is under very high pressure, it does not boil. The amount of heat produced in the reactor is controlled by control rods (3). The reactor shuts down when the control rods are lowered. The heated primary water next flows through u-shaped tubes in the steam generator (4). There it gives off its heat to water (dark blue) in the secondary water system. It is then pumped back to the reactor to be heated again. Water in the secondary system is changed to steam (light blue) in the steam generator. The steam spins a turbine (5) connected to an electric generator (6) and produces electricity. As the steam leaves the turbine, it falls on pipes (7) carrying cooling water in the third system (yellow). This water comes from the cooling towers (8). As the steam hits the outside of the pipes, it is changed back to water. It is then pumped to the steam generator to be heated to steam again. The steam heats the water inside the pipes. Before it can be used again, it must be cooled in the cooling towers. 3 c-N -

Radiation . . . Radiation is energy. Radar, radio waves, ultrat ,iet (sun) rays . A Fact Of Life and X-rays are common forms of radiation. ; Radiation is all around us. It is in the air we breathe, in the food we eat and in our homes. It is even in our bodies. These sources of radiation are lumped together and called background radiation. In addition to natural background radiation, there is also man-made radiation. It comes from such things as medical and dental X-rays and treatments. Very small amounts of radiation comes from the generation of nuclear power. There are three types of radiation alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays. Alpha particles are the least penetrating. They can be stopped by a sheet of paper. Beta particles can be stopped by a thin sheet of metal. Gamma rays are the most penetrating. They can be almost completely stopped by three feet of concrete. Radiation is measured in units called millirems. The average person receives about 180 millirems of background and man-made radiation a year. Each year we get more radiation from natural sources than we get from an operating nuclear plant. The chart on the opposite page shows how much radiation we get from different things. You can see an operating nuclear power plant adds very little to how much radiation we get. If there were a major emergency at Catawba, people in areas near the plant could be exposed to high levels of radiation. Exposure to high levels of radiation causes health effects. For your protection, follow the instructions on the emergency broad-cast stations. If radiation were released, you could protect yourself by: 1 Following the instructions given by the emergency broadcast radio or television station. 2 If instructed, leave the area and check in at a shelter. 3 If you are told to stay indoors, turn off fans, air conditioners, and forced-air heating units. Close all windows and doors. 4 Hold a damp cloth over your nose and mouth. 5 Limit the amount of time you are outdoors. Unborn babies and children up to six years old are more likely than other people to be harmed by radiation. Because of this, early precautions might be ordered for women who are, or could be, pregnant and very young children. Most evidence shows radiation doses of 25 to 50.000 millirems do not cause permanent health effects. To be extra careful. pro-tective actions would be ordered at much lower levels. This 4 would provide you and your family more time to take shelter or, if necessary, to evacuate. g E ' 7 -

d Nuclear Terms Chain Reaction - The point in the fission process at which the production of neutrons in the reactor core is self-sustaining. }; Cold Shutdown -The temperature of the water in the primary system is reduced below boiling point and the pressure is s reduced to atmospheric pressure. i Control Rods - Rods made of a material that absorbs neutrons. When inserted into the nuclear fuel, the rods stop the fissian process, shutting down the reactor. Core -The central part of a nuclear reactor that contains the nuclear fuel. 1 Emergency Core Cooling System - A back-up emergency system designed to pump thousands of gallons of water into the reactor core to cool the fuel. Fission - The nuclear process in which a heavy atom, such as uranium, splits into fragments. Fuel Assemblies- A collection of rods that contain the nuclear fuel pellets which produce heat to make steam used to generate electricity. Fuel Pellets - Thimble-sized uranium oxide pellets used in nuclear power generation. Each pellet contains about the same amount of energy as that produced from burning one ton of coal. A modern reactor core may contain up to 10 million pellets. Fuel Rods - Hollow tubes 13 feet long that contain stacks of uranium oxide fuel pellets. These rods are bundled together to form fuel assemblies. Half-life-The time required for a radicartive substance to lose one-half its radioactivity. Half-life can vary from minutes to years, depending on the substance. Maximum Permissible Dose (MPD)- The legal limit to the amount of radiation a member of the public may be exposed to from any source. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has established a maximum per person permissible dose of 500 millirems of radiation per year for the general public. For nuclear plant workers, the maximum has been established at 5,000 millirems per year. Millirem - The unit used to measure radiation dosage. It is 1/1000th of a REM REM stands for Roentgen Equivalent Man, a measure of radiation that indicates potential impact on human cells. Radioactivity- The property possessed by some elements that give off energy in the form of waves or particles. Radiation may be alpha, beta or gamma. Reactor Trip - The situation in which control rods are quickly inserted into the fuel core of the reactor. stopping the fission process. 6

I Emergency One of the four classifications below would be used to describe Cicssifications a nuclear plant emergency. You should know these terms. Duke Power would contact federal, state and local authorities in each of the following situations. 1 An Unusual Event is tne least serious of the four warning classifications. It means there is a minor problem at the station that is being handled by plant workers. Because of strict federal regulations, a number of problems are reported as unusual events even though they pose no danger to the public. They would be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and to state and local officials. No release of radiation is expected. You will not have to do anything. 2 An Alert is an event that could affect plant safety. Although there is still no danger to the public, county and state officials begin getting emergency operation centers ready in case the g situation gets worse. You probably will not have to do anything. E s-E 3 A Site Area Emergency is an event that could possibly affect the public. Small amounts of radiation could be released outside the station. The sirens are sounded to alert the public to listen to the emergency broadcast stations for information and instructions. 4 A General Emergency is the most serious of the four clas- ,, m sifications. State and federal authorities would take action to El protect the public and station workers. Emergency broadcast stations would continue to give information and instructions. If (ji necessary, some areas could be evacuated. ll 55' U
