t-RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY aESPONSE PLAN
. LEADER NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER k
I. INTRODUCTION A. Purpose The following Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) is 5 designed to prepare Leader Nursing and Rehabilitation Center personnel to respond appropriately to emergencies or potential y emergency situations in the event of an incident at the Limerick - Generating Station. 2 The objective of this plan is to identify each necessary function, determine who will be responsible for it, assign authority within that function, and illustrate'how that function will relate to , others. This Radiological Emergency Response Plan is a working document, action-oriented and designed as a guide for the time of stress. It is intended to be flexible and quickly adaptable to produce a safe environment for patients, residents and staff. This document is intended to conform to all appropriate federal, state, county and municipal statutes and accrediting / licensing agency regulations for the safety and care of patients, residents ( and employees during a radiological emergency. Orientation of new personnel should include issuance of appropriate sections of this plan and instruction in the duties assigned therein. B. Authority The authority for the preparation of this plan is provided by P. L. 4 1332, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Services Act of 1978. C. References Public Law 1332, "The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Services Act of 1978."

nuclear facility to-facilitate offsite emergency planning and j' develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.
- 6. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident (hereinafter called an 5 " incident") - An incident is an event or condition at a fixed, nuclear facility which could result in a negative impact on public health and safety. Four incident classifications nave
- been identified; from the least serious to the most serious they are: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Emergency and General Emergency. (Note: Site or General Emergency classifications are not to be confused with a " Declaration of Disaster Emergency" made by the Governor.) Descriptions of the four incident classifications are as follows: l a__ a. Unusual Event - Events are in_ process or have occurred which ;

offsits rsspansa or monitoring are >exprcted unicss further degradation of safety systems occurs. ('
~
- b. Alert - Events are in process or have occurred wnich involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level-4 - of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action s
p Guidel_ine exposure levels.
- c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred A which involve actual or.likely major failures of plant functicns needed for protection-of the public. Any releases
- are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure . levels except near the site boundary. _
- d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred

8. Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which potentially is subject to radiation ' ( exposure as a result of an incident involving radioactive material emanating from the facility. Such potential exposure could involve: (a) whole body external exposure to gamma _ radiation from the plume and from deposited materials, and (b) l' inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The EPZ for this pathway consists of an area of approximately ten miles in radius around the fixed nuclear facility. (The exact size and configuration of the plume exposure pathway EPZ for the Limerick Generating Station was determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demography, topograpny, access routes, and j jurisdictional boundaries.)
- 9. Protective Action Guide (PAG) - Projected dose to individuals in the general population which warrants protective action. ;
W
- 10. Protective Actions - An action taken to avoid or reduce a '
projected dose of radiation. (Sometimes referred to as t .{ protective measures.)

- a. Plume Exposure Pathway - The area surrounding a fixed
- nuclear facility wnich potentially is subject to radiation exposure as a result of an incident involving radioactive material emanating from the facility. Such potential exposure could involve: (1) whole body external exposure to gaiana radiation from the plume and from deposited materials, and (2) inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The EPZ for tnis pathway consists of an area of approximately ten miles in radius around the fixed nuclear facility. (The exact size and configuration of eacn plume 2 Uraft 4

e
, exposure pathway EPZ for the respective fixed nuclear
. [" facility in. Pennsylvania were determined in relation to
-local emergency response needs and capbilities as tney are affected by conditions such as demography, topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.)
D. Ingestion Exposure Pathway - That area surrounding a fixed r nuclear facility whicn, as a result of a. release.of radio-active material, is a potential source of exposure through the ingestion of water and foods, such as milk or fresn vegatables originating there. The EPZ consists of a cir-cular area of'50 miles radius around the fixed nuclear , facility. -
- 8. Host School - Predetermined schools outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ_to which risk school students are evacuated, at which they remain under risk school officials's supervision, until they are picked up by their parents or legal guardians.
Students residing in the plume exposure pathway EPZ and attend-ing school outside will be neld for pick-up at the school they attend.
- 9. Incident - An event- or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Foc.'
emergency incident levels have been developed to facilitate . planning for response to nuclear incidents:

- b. Alert - An occurrence which involves actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the facility. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of tne Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) .
protective action guideline exposure levels.
- c. Site Emergency - An occurrence wnicn involves actual or likely major failures of facility functions needed for the protection of the public. Radioactive releases are not ?
expected to exceed the EPZ protective action guideline W exposure levels except near the facility site boundary. s
- d. General Emergency - An occurrence which involves actual or inninent suDstantial core degradation or melting with tne _
potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can reasonably by expected to exceed EPA protective action guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the innediate site area boundaries. (
- 10. Main Evacuation Routes - Those roadways identified in state and risk county plans as the principal routes leading from the plume 3- Oraft 4 l

,e . II. . BASIC PLAN A. General Because tnirteen school districts and numerous private /parocnial schools are found within the 10-mile plume expsoure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station, all of which misnt be expected to implement their respectvie RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the scnool population can best be served tnrougn an emergency plan tnat r is in consonance among all districts and schools, as well as witn the risk county plans. Accordingly, the Daniel Boone Area School ' District RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will
, function harmoniously with other plans. r w
This plan is designed to protect school students while attending any school function, including extracurricular. activities, special events or any function sponsored by the school. ,, B. Direction and Coordination
- 1. Tne Superintendent of Scnools shall exercise all autnority granted in accordance with tne policies set forth by the Scnool Board and tne laws of the Commonwealtn of Pennsylvania.
- 2. Tne Superintendent of Scnools is responsible for all school emergency plans and procedures assuring tne safety of students and staff in the event of an, incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
[
- 3. Non-profit private scnools witnin the territory covered by the Daniel Boone Area Scnool Uistrict come under the district for planning, notification and coordination of transportation resources. Currently, tnere are no private school buildings in tne EPZ and tne district's territory.

Dear Parent:
In the event of an nuclear incident at the Limerick Generating Station that would result in a protective evacuation of tne uaniel Boone Area Scnool - District. Amity Elementary Center students will be safely bused directly to schools in a host school district. The host school for our District is Daniel Boone Area Junior-Senior Hign School. Parents or. legal guardians will be requested to pick up their cnildren at the Junior - Senior High Scnool build-i 'ing. 4 This District is concerned tnat any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained tnroughout, and that parents / guardians be reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. Tnerefore, Amity Elementary Center staff will accompany students during evacuation to the Junior - Senior High School and scnool . staff will rentain witn students until all students are picked up. It is not necessary to rusn, drive safely to the High School and your child will be waiting for you under the supervision of school staff. After 8 p.m., tne nost school will be closed and remaining students bussed to a designated mass care center, locatea at Gov. Mifflin intermealate _ Scnool, Snillington, PA. At tnis facility, students will be provided snelter and food, awaiting parent / guardian arrival. Tne Red Cross operates Inis mass ( care center. Tne District requests that parents / guardians refrain from trying to pick-up students at Amity Elementary Center wnen an evacuation has been ordered or appears imminent. It is important tnat scnool driveways and access roads be kept open for buses. In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate scnool census. Snould you have to pick-up your child, please use driveway, park in the area and enter the building at . Should you reside in tne risk area (EPI), and your child attend a District scnool outside tne risk area (EPZ), the District will retain your , child at nis/ner own scnool for your pick-up. After 8 p.m., these students will also be bussed to tne mass care center listed above to await your arrival . D Children will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior written arrangements nave been made using the student emergency record tnat you have completed previously. i Snould sneltering be recommended, your cnild will be sheltered in his - own school building, if that building is located in tne risk area whose population might have to snelter, (EPZ), until tne snettering advisory is lifted.

COENTY OF CHESTER COA 1A11SSIONERS Ear! 31. Bser. Chairman Robert J. Thompson Patricia Aloran Ba!dwin DEPARTA1ENT OF EA1ERGENCY SERVICES 14 East Biddle Street, West Chester, PA 19380 (215) 431-6160 Timothy R. S.

Dear Kevin:
Recently I attended a meeting of amateur radio officers connected with the emergency management agencies responsible for radiological emergency response T planning for incidents at the Limerick Generating Station. The meeting came about as a result of discussions between myself, Gary Bowes and Henry Taminini of your staff. Henry was gracious enough to offer to act as a host for the meeting and to be responsible for.getting all of the participants together. What was intended was to allow the amateur radio officers a chance to brainstorm over the events of the drill and to look at areas that needed improvement and areas in which cooperation could occur between the three involved amateur radio emergency communities. As always, Henry not only managed to set up and shepherd the meeting in the right direction but was also able to participate and contributed quite valuably to the final process. The results of this meeting are, I think, of major importance to emergency management preparedness not only in the Limerick EPZ but throughout the Common-wealth of Pennsylvania. I believe as a result of this meeting we have a chance to reactivate the coordinating committee for Pennsylvania's amateur radio group and have an opportunity to address some of the gut issues such as training equipment and federal assistance. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for Henry's role in this matter. It is typical, to be quite honest, of the way Henry has handled most of the communications related issues of the Limerick project. I realize, serving three masters myself or maybe is it four including PEMA, that serving the interests of the three counties as well as Philadelphia Electric Company can be hard. Henry has managed to do it # in admirable fashion. Please pass my comments on to the appropriate authorities in Energy Consultants. Henry, like most Energy Consultants staf.f, is a true professional and a hard worker. - Sincerely, Timothy R. S. C jam bell 4 d%,- Director gf@ gmejsp68 -otncec 1682 $.c 9m$p}}
