Q __: i PROPOSED REVISIONS IN EMERGENCY PLAN 30 MAY 84 KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY NUCLEAR REACTOR FACILITY A.EmergencyActionLevels(ANSIStd.,Section35]

1. Add the following statement to the action level for suspected fuel damage (page 19, Section 5 3 5):

. Unambiguous evidence, calling for notification of an Unusual Event, would.be an otherwise unexplained exposure rate in excess of 5 mrem /h at the reactor pool surface, or a Cs-137 specific activity in the primary coolant -in excess of 8000 picoeuries per cubic centimeter.

B.EmergencyResponse[ANSIStd.,Section37]

1. Insert the following paragraph at the beginning of Section 2 3, p. 5:

In the . event of a suspected emergency situation, the emergency organization will be notified by telephone (see emergency notification list, Emergency Procedure No. 1 or posting at entrance to Reactor Facility). During times that the Reactor Facility is attended by operating staff, the notification will be made by the reactor operator on duty. Otherwise, the notification will be initiated by Campus Security personnel. Order of succession in the position of Emergency Director is as described in Section 2.2, above.

2. On page 12, paragraph 2,' replace sentences 4 through 7 with the following:

Upon sounding of the evacuation alarm (5 R/h at the reactor 22-ft level), the operations boundary will be evacuated (Emergency Procedure 4). Emergency assembly area #1 is the lobby of Ward Hall.

2mergency assembly area #2, for persons believed to be contaminated (Emergency Procedure 3), is the shower-equipped restroom in the basement of Ward Hall. All non-essential personnel will be evacuated from the site boundary if the radiation level in the hallway at the entrance to the operations boundary is in excess of 100 mR/h (Emergency Procedure 4). The site evacuation order shall be given by the Emergency Director and personnel should evacuate to an upwind, sheltered location where the exposure rate is less than 5 mR/h. Emergency Procedures 4 and 5 shall be followed to assure isolation and access control of potentially contaminated or hazardous areas and to minimize exposure -to radiation and the spread of contamination.

3. On page 20, paragraph 2, replace the last sentence, and on page 26,

..Section 6 3 6, replace the second sentence in the last paragraph with the followings.

Conditions and procedures for operations and site boundary evacuation, as.well as access control, are described in Section 3 5 and in Emergency Procedures 4 and 5 C.EmergencyFacilitiesandEquipment[ANSIStd.,Section38]

1. Insert the following as Section 8 3 5 on page 36: ,

'Non-Radiological Monitors Fire within the operations boundary would be sensed by combustion-product detectors located in the Control Room and at several locations in the Reactor Bay. Activistion of the detectors is annunciated as an alarm at the Campus Security Office. Upon an alarm, security personnel are dispatched immediately to the Reactor Facility. An abnormally low level of shielding water is indicated by a visual alarm located so as to be seen at either the entrance to the. Control Room or the Reactor Bay.

D.MaintainingEmergencyPreparedness-[ANSIStd.,Section310]

1. Insert - the following as Section 10 3 3 on page 39:

Training Programs (See Emergency Procedure 14)

Training for Reactor Facility Staff incorporaces annual lectures, drills, and written examinations over the Emergency Plan an Emergency Procedures, with special attention given to the following topics:

Emergency notifications Radiation surveys Decontamination Evacuation procedures Personnel accountability Re-entry and recovery operations Training for off-site personnel incorporates lectures, drills and exercises, with special attention given to the following topics:

External and internal radiation hazards Radiation surveys of personnel and equipment Contamination control and decontamination Protective actions First-aid and patient treatment
