IMPLEMENTING PROCEudRES I
RADIOLOGICAL 0FFICER I ATTACHMENT D CONTROL TLD INFORMATION In tne event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station, the Berks County EMA will retain the designated " control TLD's." Control TLD's are equal in number to about St. of the total amount allotted for distribution.
Each " control TLD" is so labeled and the serial numbers are not in the same sequential batch as tne TLD's meant for distribution to emergency workers. As coordinated by PEMA, the control TLD's will be forwarded to the TLD service contractor. Tne Berks County EMA will complete the " Control TLD's Form"
(' attached) and forward it with the control TLD's.
The purpose of " control TLD's" is to allow measurements of a " baseline" of radiation (background radiation) tnat tne TLD's had been exposed to at the time the Berks County EMA distributed TLD's in reaction to the incident. Tne measurement of tne accumulated background radiation as measured of tne control TLD's will be subtracted from the reading obtained from each emergency worker in the county. This proceaare can be cnaracterized as a "matnematical zeroing" of tne TLD. (Tne CD V-730's, DCA-622's and CD V-742's will be zeroec by the user organizations as they are put into use.)
At tne time of the incident, tne Berks County EMA will ensure tnat tne control TLD's are not exposed to radiation other than background radiation.
Specifically, since the TLD's are stored outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ, tne county EMA will ensure that tne control TLO's are not moved inside tne EPZ.
I l
IP-9-D-1 Uraft 2
CONTROL TLDs FORM When TLDs are distributed during an incident, this form should be completed of the county emergency management agency. The completed form, togetner witn tne control TLDs, should be forwarded tnrough PEMA to BRP.
Note: If a fixed nuclear facility incident occurs, the control TLus should not remain in, or be moved into, the plume exposure patnway EPZ.
County The control TLDs accompanied by this form are serial numbered " Control through " Control " and/or " Control , , , , ."
The TLD stock, with which the control TLDs were co-located, was stored at:

IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURE RADIOLOGICAL 0FFICER ATTACHMENT E DOSIMETER READING, RECOR0 KEEPING AND PROTECTIVE ACTION OPTIONS A. Dosimeter Reading Procedures
- 1. Dosimeters should be worn in the pocket of an outer garment from the time of issue until the worker is dismissed from duty or until PEMA says dosimetry is no longer necessary. In no case snould the TLD be worn by more than one person since there is no way of ascertaining later how much of the dose recorded on tne TLD was received by eacn individual if more tnan one person was involved.
- 2. For practical purposes each Roentgen registered on eitner of the self-reading dosimeters is to be interpreted to mean that the worker nas received a corresponding number of rem, e.g., a reading of S R should be interpreted to mean that a S rem dose nas been received.*
- 3. Eacn emergency worker should read tne self-reading dosimeters at least once eacn thirty minutes.
- 4. Two self-reading dosimeters provide redundancy. Workers should need the higner measurement taken from the two dosimeters. It is possible for dosimeters of tnis type to have " electrical leakage" tnat will register a reading not caused by radiation. Nonetheless, workers are to " err on tne side of caution" by needing the higher reading.
- A Roentgen (R) is a unit of measurement of x-ray or gamma radiation that is based upon effects as measured in air; a rem (r) is a unit of radiation measuremerit tnat is based upon effects as measured in the numan body. In this' procedure Roentgen and rem are considered to be essentially the same.
IP-9-E-1 Draft 2
4 B. Protective Action Guides (PAG) for Emergency Workers
- 1. Whole Body Exposure - The protective action guide for wnole body exposure specified by the Environmental Protection Agenc/ (EPA) and by BRP is 25 rem. Workers should use the self-reading dosimeter (s) to ensure that the 25 rem wnole body PAG is not exceeded. By regularly checking the self-reading dosimeter (s), the worker can make reasonable judgments about how much radiation, if any, nas been received and at wnat rate it is being received.
- 2. Emergency workers and supervisors are cautioned tnat the 25 re;n protective action guide should not be construed as " license" to incur radiation exposure unnecessarily. Workers and supervisors snould attempt to keep exposure as low as reasonably acnievable.
This concept means tnat exposure to radiation should be kept to a minimum for all persons and that any one individual should not receive a total dose f ar in excess of otner emergency workers if circumstances permit substitution of personnel, termination of tne assignment, or otner protective action.
- 3. Thyroid Gland Exposure - Tne EPA and BRP PAG for tnyroid dose is 125 rem for emergency workers but with no specific upper limit for life saving activities. An upper limit is not given for tnyroid exposure since in the extreme case complete thyroid loss mignt.be acceptable for a life saved.
- 4. Life Saving Missions - Responsible emergency management of of fsite workers dictates tnat exceeding the 25 rem protective action guide snould not occur. However, if there should be extraordinary circun-stances wherein a person's life is at stake, the 24 rem whole cody dose may be exceeded in order to complete a life saving mission.
Tne EPA and BRP specify an upper limit of 76 rem wnole body dose for life saving missions, i.e., subject to special approval, conaitions, and measures. Tnerefore, persons who volunteer for a life saving mission may exceed tne 25 rem wnole body limit set for emergency workers , but in no case may tney exceed 76 rem.
IP-9-E-2 Oraft 2
Elected officials in authority may autnorize, in advance, volunteer emergency workers to exceed the protective action guiaelines (25 rem whole body exposure) to a maximum of 75 rem for a life saving mission. Tnis advance authorization is intended to avoid delaj in performing a necessary life saving mission. A wide margin of safety should be maintained to avoid risk from possible adverse long term health effects caused by radiation exposure (see paragraph C below). Decision makers (elected officials) should consider the information in paragraph C below and also ensure that the following conditions have been met:
- a. The mission is of life saving importance.
- b. Alternative solutions have been exhausted.
- c. Emergency workers should be healtny adult male volunteers, preferably over 45 years of age.
- c. The emergency workers selected should be person whose normal duties might involve such missions, i.e., policemen and firemen with suitable protective clothing and respiratory equipment,
- e. The mission is accomplished in the least amount of " stay time."
l f. Tne emergency workers are knowledgeable of and accept tne increased risk of exceeding the 25 rem PAG.
C. Dosimetry and KI Record Keeping
- 1. Each emergency worker is responsible for completing a Dosimetry-KI Report Form (reference Attacnment A) and for returning it, along witn tne dosimetry, to his organization at the termination or nis s ervices . Eacn emergency organization snall forward the forms and dosimetry to tne county EMA wno in turn will deliver the TL0s and forms to PEMA. PEMA will deliver tne forms and TLos from all counties to BRP who will deliver tne TLDs to the TLD service j IP-9-E-3 Draft 2 l
contractor for reading. All dosimetry records will be forwarded to BRP for the purposes of record keeping, analysis, reporting and storage.
- 2. BRP will retain all original copies and will be the permanent record keeper of the completed Dosimetry-KI Report Forms along with SRP's explanation of each, the TLD service contractor generated informa-tion and all related material. The records of individuals will be kept confidential
- 3. BRP will use the Dosimetry-KI Report Form to select TLDs for immediate reading. The highest priority will be given to TLDs worn by persons whose self-reading dosimetry indicates 25 R or more, or where medical authority has requested immediate reading, or where other circumstances warrant. In these cases, BRP will expedite delivery of the TLDs to the TLD service contractor and readings will be received within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after and contractor's receipt of the TLDs. BRP will prorptly relay the readings, witn their interpreta-tion to the individual and appropriate medical autnorities. All otner TLDs will be in the " routine" catebory of five day turn-around time from the TLD service contractor; indivicuals will be informec of tne TLD readings.
- 4. If emergency workers turn in their TLD for reading and are later deployed in an area where dosimetry is needed, tney should be issued new TLDs.-

IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES AGRICULTURAL OFFICER ATTACHMENT 0 PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDE FOR FARMERS AND FOOD PROCESSORS This section provices information for farmers and food processors that will assist in the protection of livestock, crops ana food proaucts from radiocontamination.
I. GENERAL IriFORl1ATION A. PEMA, in coordination witn the licensee, BRP and otner state agencies, will provide specific information following an incident concerning amounts and types of releases. This information will conta;n available warning time, the probable curation quantities, and the mix of radiocontaminant discharge. Generally, in a fixed nuclear site incident radiciodine will be the major contaminant, althougn it is possible that other radiocontaminants will also De released.
B. Experience has snown tnat the time from tne depositing of radiof o-cines on tne pasture to the appearance of significant quantities of radioiocine in cow's milk may be as snort' as the time lapse between milkin9s (12 nours). It is extremely important, therefore, that actions to minimize milk contamination be taken at the earliest possible time.
C. Several options are available for the protection of the public frcm exposure to radioiodine tnrough the milk food chain.
- 1. Tne removal of dairy cattle and other milk producing animals from the pasture in the affected area as soon as possiDie and the provision of feed and water from sources tnat are not contaminated.
IP-11-0-1 Draf: 2
r-- 1
- 2. The disposal of contaminated milk, as determined by a sample to be taken by the appropriate State agency.
D. Tnese are suggested priorities for sheltering and feeding f arm animals with stored food and water:
- 1. Dairy cattle and otner milk producing animals.
- 2. ' Egy producing fowl.
- 3. Breeding stock.
- 4. Other livestock.
E. No attempts should be made to evacuate farm animals froia the 10-mile or 50-mile EPZ as priority for evacuation will be given to tne public.
F. A snelter can be a barn, shed, garage or otner DJilding. If these are not availaole, a roadway underpass or a wooded area is better tnan no cover at all.
G. Crops tnat have been harvested before tne accident snould be coverec or put in a covered area, if possible. An emergency supply of water should also be kept in covered containers, e.g., barrels, cisterns and wells.
H. The EBS will broadcast Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture advisories and guidance. If more information is needed, contact tne Berks County Emergency Management Agency at 373-b233 or 374-4800.
II. INFORMATION FOR F000 PROCESSORS Tne primary objective of the food processor must be to prevent tne contamination of the public through the processing of contaminated food. Guidance is provided in tne Department of Agriculture and IP-11-0-2 Draft 2
Department of Environmental Resources Plans for Nuclear Power Generating Station Incidents. Questions not answered in the referenced documents should be addressed to the Berks County Emergency Management Agency.
The burden of protecting the public from contamination througn ingestion of contaminated foods provided by the food processors rests directly on j the processors. They mJst take whatever actions are necessary to ensure that the foods processed for consumption by the public are not contaminated.

CHESTER COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY SERVICES IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES RADIOLOGICAL OFFICER I. PURPOSE The purpose of these procedures is to support Chester County's response to an incident at the Limerick Generating Station, providing for the radiological protection of the general public and offsite emergency workers, including dacontamination r monitoring.
- i l II. REFERENCES
! A. Annex M, Chester County Limerick RERP B. Decontamination Monitoring Station Standard Operating Procedure C. E0C Message Flow Standard Operating Procedure III. RESPONSIBILITIES A. Chester County Department of Emergency Services ,
! The Chester County DES will provide for: protection of emergency workers via training, dosimetry and KI; decontamination monitoring of the general public, as well as federal, state, county and municipal emergency workers; decontamination monitoring of pertinent personal items; decontamination, as necessary, of personnel and related items; appropriate medical referrals for further monitoring, decontamination and treatment; maintenance of records concerning dosimetry, chargers, survey meters, and KI in tablet form, and of supplies of related record keeping forms stored in central locations or predistributed to municipalities and decontamination stations; maintenance of a radiological exposure record system; and training
! of personnel to carry out radiological exposure control plans. .
I RAD-1 Draft 3
B. Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) l The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency: coordinates with BRP, j the utility, other state agencies, federal government agencies, and risk counties for protective actions of the public and emergency 4- workers; provides counties during the emergency with periodic situation reports including incident assessment and plume exposure information; specifies procedures for decontamination of emergency personnel and their clothing; assists FRMAP (Federal Radiation Monitoring and Ass,essment Plan) personnel with pertinent logistics information related to the , disposal of radiation contaminated waste materials generated from the general public and offsite emergency workers; predistributes dosimetry and KI to county emergency manage-ment agencies and specifies implementation of a comprehensive inventory-maintenance program for those items; collects TLDs and
- appropriate records front the county after each incident; assists the Department of Health with the distribution of potassium iodide.
C. Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) .
The Bureau of Radiation Protection is the state agency that will conduct the technical tasks of incident assessment and air monitoring for detection and definition of the radioactive plume'.
BRP calculates projected radiation doses to the whole body and thyroid and reports these projections, as well as actual rad.iation exposure rates and total doses received by affected areas, to 4 PEMA. BRP recommends protective actions based on its information and analysis of the situation. BRP interprets the Department of Environmental Resource's analysis of environmental, agricultural and foodstuffs sampling, and reports these findings as appropriate to PEMA, Department of Health, and Department of Agriculture. BRP collates the state, federal and licensee data for comprehensive <
technical analysis and transmits its information to PEMA who, in turn, relays appropriate information through emergency management channels.

D. Municipal Governments Each municipal government within the plume exposure pathway EPZ will assist the county in issuing dosimetry and thyroid blocking drugs to emergency workers within its area at the SITE EMERGENCY classifica-tion.
E. Emergency Workers In addition to the performance of assigned tasks, emergency workers are responsible for utilizing their dosimeters, thyroid blocking drugs and Dosimetry-KI Report Form as prescribed and for undergoing decontamination monitoring.
The uppermost limit of radiation exposure is, set by the Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) at 25 rem whole body exposure, and this limit should not be exceeded eAcept for authorized life saving missions. Emergency workers should strive to keep any exposure as
~
~
low as reasonably achievable.
F. Decontamination Monitoring Teams Decontamination monitoring teams will monitor members of the public and emergency workers to ascertain if individuals are contaminated with a radiation emitting substance. BRP has set the action level for determining whether individuals are contaminated at 0.05 mR/hr (milliroentgens per hour) above background. If an individual is contaminated at 0.05 mR/hr above background or more, then the decontamination monitoring team must decontaminate the individual.
Procedures for decontamination monitoring teams are included in Appendix 1 to Annex M of the Basic Plan.

s APPENDIX 4 RARJ0 LOGICAL 0FFICER CONTROL TLD INFORMATION
- 1. In the ' event of an incident, the County DES will retain the designated
" Control TLDs." Control TLDs are equal in number to about 5% of the total amount allotted for distribution. Each " control TLD" is so labeled and the serial nunbers are not in the same sequential batch as the TLDs meant for distribution to emergency workers. As coordinated by PEMA, the control TLDs will be forwarded to the TLD service contractor.
The County DES will complete the " Control TLDs Form" (reference Attachment B) and forward it with the control TLDs.
- 2. The purpose of " Control TLDs" is to allow measurenent of a " baseline" of radiation (background radiation) that the TLDs had been exposed to at the time the county distributed TLDs in reaction to the incident. The measurement of the accumulated background radiation as measured by the control TLDs will be subtracted from the reading obtained from each emergency worker in the county. This procedure can be. characterized as a " mathematical zeroing" of the TLD. (The CD V-730s DCA-622s and CD V-742s will be zeroed by the user organizations as they are put into use.)
- 3. At the time of the incident the County DES will ensure that the control TLDs are not exposed to radiation other than background radiation. The County DES will arrange to ' collect all control .TLD's inside the EPZ at the time of the incident. .
RAD-4-1 Draft 3
APPENDIX 5 ,,
RADIOLOGICAL 0FFICER 00SIMETER READING, RECORD KEEPING AND PROTECTIVE ACTION OPTIONS A. Dosimetry Reading Procedures
- 1. Dosimeters should be worn in the pocket of an outer garment from the time of issue until the worker is dismissed from duty or until PEMA says dosimetry is no longer necessary. In no case should the TLD be worn by more than one person since there is no way of ascertaining later how much of the dose recorded on the TLD was received by each individual if more than one person was involved.
- 2. For practical purposes each Roentgen registered on either of the self-reading dosimeters is to be interpreted to mean that the worker has received a corresponding number of rem, e.g., a reading of 6 R 1
should be interpreted to mean that a 5 rem dose has been received.*
a 3. Each emergency worker should read the self-reading dosimeters at least once each thirty' minutes.
. 4. Two self-reading dosimeters provide redundancy. Workers should heed the higher measurement taken from the two dosimeters. It is possible for dosimeters of this type to have " electrical leakage"
' that will register a reading not caused by radiation. Nonetheless ,
workers are to " err on the side of caution" by heeding the higher
. reading.
B. Protective Action Guides (PAG) for Emergency Workers.
- 1. Whole Body Exposure - The protective action guide for whole body exposure specified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and by BRP is 25 rem. Workers should use the self-reading dosimeter (s) to ensure that the 25 rem whole body PAG is not exceeded. By regularly checking the self-reading dosimeter (s), the worker can make reasonable judgments about how much radiation, if any, has been received and at what rate it is being received.
- 2. Emergency work'ers and supervisors are cautioned that the 25 rem protective action guide should not be construed as " license" to incur radiation exposure unnecessarily. Workers and supervisors should attempt to keep exposure as low as reasonably achievable.
This concept means that exposure to radiation should be kept to a minimum for all persons and that any one individual should not receive a total dose far in excess of other emergency workers if
- A Roentgen (R) is a unit of measurement of x-ray or gamma radiation that is
! based upon effects as measured in air; a rem (r) is a unit of radiation measurement that is based upon effects as measured in the human body. In this plan Roentgen and rem are considered to be essentially the same.

- 3. Thyroid Gland Exposure - The EPA and BRP PAG for thyroid dose is 125 rem for emergency workers but with no specific upper limit for life saving activities. An upper limit is not given for thyroid exposure since in the extreme case complete thyroid loss might be acceptable for a life saved.
I i, 4. Life Saving Missions - Responsible emergency management of offsite workers dictates that exceeding the 25 rem protective action guide should not occur. However, if there should be extraordinary circum-stances wherein a person's life is at stake, the 24 rem whole body dose may be exceeded in order to complete a life saving mission.
The EPA and BRP specify"an upper limit of 75 rem whole body dose for life saving missions, i.e., subject to special approval, conditions,
- and measures. Therefore, persons who volunteer for a life saving
- - mission may exceed the 25 rem whole body limit set for emergency workers, but in no case may they exceed 75 rem.
Elected officials in authority may authorize, in advance, volunteer emergency workers to exceed the protective action guidelines (25 rem whole body exposure) to a maximum of '75 rem for a life saving
. mission. This advance authorization 1s intended 'to avoid delay in performing a necessary life saving mission. A wide margin of safety i should be maintained to avoid risk from possible adverse long term health effects caused by radiation exposure (see paragraph C below).
Decision makers (elected officials) should consider the information in paragraph C below and also ensure that the following conditions g have been met:
- a. The mission is of life saving importance.
- b. Alternative solutions have been exhausted.
- c. Emergency workers should be healthy adult male volunteers, preferably over 45 years of age.
. d. The emergency workers selected should be person whose normal duties might involve such missions, i.e., policemen and firemen with suitable protective clothing and respiratory equipment. ,
- . e. The mission is accomplished in the least amount of " stay time."
! f. The emergency workers are knowhdgeable of and accept the increased risk of exceeding the 25 rem PAG.

C. Increased. R1sks Due to_ Radiation Exposure
- Information concerning the possible consequences of_ emergency workers'
-exposure to radiation during a fixed nuclear incident is organized below
~
into three' categories -~.(1) immediate somatic effects, (2) long term somatic effects, and (3) genetic effects. Somatic is an adjective pertaining to characteristics of or effects on the body, as distinguish-ed from genetic characteristics or genetic. effects which are manifested s in offspring (descendants).
- 1. Representative Relationships Between a Brief One-Time Radiation Exposure and Immediate Somatic Effects Representative. Absorbed Dose of Whole Body X or Gamma Radiation (rads) Nature of Effect !
l 5-25 rem Minimal dose detectable by chromosome e analysis or other specialized analysis.
50-75 rem Minimal acute dose readily detectable in
! a specific individual (e.g., one who presents himself as a possible exposure case).75-125 rem Minimal acute dose likely to produce vomiting in about 10% of people so exposed. .
150-200 rem Acute dose likely to produce transient .
disability.and clear hematological changes in a majority of people so exposed.
- 2. Long Term Somatic Risks as a Result of a One Time Exposure to Radiation l- Current knowledge about the long term health effects resulting from
- a one time radiation exposure below 25 rem indicates that develop-ment of health problems, such as cancer, in adults so exposed is extremely unlikely. There is no direct clinical evidence of low i
level radiation (in this case meaning a one time exposure below the whole body dose protective action guide of 25 rem) causing health problems years after the exposure.
! 3. Genetic Effects of Radiation i
Radiation exposure of reproductive cells of the ovary and testis causes gene and chromosome abnormalities (mutation). Persons I

RAD-5-3 Draft 3 t
-..--_--------.--.-A
exposed to any radiation should avoid the possibility of conception during the first few months afcer exposure, in order to virtually eliminate any possible genetic risk.
D. Dosimetry and KI Record Keeping
- 1. Each emergency worker is responsible for completing a Dosimetry-KI Report Form and for returning it, along with the dosimetry, to his organization at the termination of his services. Each emergency organization shall forward the forms and dosimetry to the County DES who in turn will deliver the TLDs and forms to PEMA. PEMA will deliver the forms and TLDs from all counties to BRP wno will deliver the TLDs to the TLD service contractor for reading. All dosimetry records will be forwarded to BRP for the purposes of record keeping, analysis, reporting and storage.
- 2. BRP will retain all original copies and will be the permanent record keeper of the completed Dosimetry-KI Report Forms along with BRP's explanation of each, the TLD service contractor generated informa-tion and all related material. The records of individuals will be l kept confidential
- 3. BRP will use the Dosimetry-KI Report Form to select TLDs for immediate reading. The highest priority will be given to TLDs worn by persons whose self-reading dosimetry indicates 26 R or more, or where medical authority has requested immediate reading, or where other circumstances warrant. In these cases, BRP will expedite delivery of the TLDs to the TLD service contractor and readings will be received within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after and contractor's receipt of the TLDs. BRP will promptly relay the readings, with their interpreta-tion to the individual and appropriate -medical authorities. All other TLDs will be in the " routine" category of five day turn-around
~
-time from the TLD service contractor; individuals will be informed of the TLD readings.
- 4. If emergency workers turn in their TLD for reading and are later deployed in an area where dosimetry is needed, they should be issued new TLDs.

MESSAGE CONTROL PROCEDURE I. INTRODUCTION A. In an emergency, message control assumes a critical importance by virtue of the fact that it exists for the purpose of insuring that messages are accurately transmitted, properly routed, and not lost. For this reason, message control should never be sacrificed for expediency. The fastest possible message does no good if it is sent to the wrong person,' garbled, or forgotten.
B. The second function of message control is to provide a record of occurrences during the emergency. This is necessary so that the events can be reconstructed after the fact.
C. 'The primary responsibility for message control falls upon E0C per'sonnel because it is their function to control and r'ecord emergency response, and because field units do not have the time or facilities to insure message control.
II. STANDARD MESSAGE FORM (See Attachment 2 of this procedure) l A. Direction

1 ATTACHMENT B DECONTAMINATION MONITORING PROCEDURES c
I. GENERAL INFORMATION AND ORGANIZATION A. Decontamination Monitoring of the Public In the event of a fixed nuclear facility incident, the public and emergency workers my have to be individually monitored to-ascertain whether or not the individual is contaminated with a radioactive substarice. If a person is found to be contaminated, then he/she must be decontaminated. Teams will be advised whether or not decontamination monitoring is required. Decontamination monitoring will be perforined upon request regardless of whether it is required.
- B. Organization at Mass Care Centers
- 1. Mass care centers for evacuees will serve as points where decontamination monitoring and decontamination procedures will be conducted. When decontamination monitoring is required,
' ~
evacuees upon arrival at the mass care center will be monitored and, if necessary, decontaminated, after which they will be admitted to the ". general'living" portion of the mass care
! center. Decontam_ination monitoring teams will conduct the monitoring, carry out decontamination procedures, and complete associated records.
l s
-2. Decontamination monitoring teals take direction from the county radiological officer and coordinate with the mass care center manager. Decontamination monitoring of evacuees should be completed as soon as possible; decontamination monitoring of personal belongings (i.e., clothing, personal articles, l
vehicles) can be accomplished after the evacuees have been processed.
i I
MON-6 Oraft 2 l ,
- 3. Decontamination monitoring teams will organize their areas and traffic flow patterns so that contaminated persons and those to be monitored will not mix'with the contamination-free individ-uals already admitted to the general living section of the mass care center. For example, persons will be sent to the decontamination area (showers) by a route that will not place them in contact with contamination-free areas. Showers used for decontamination will not be available for general use until they are decontaminated.
C. Decontamination Monitoring Services for Persons Who Are Not Housed ,
l at Mass Care Centers.
~
- 1. Persons who do not intend to stay at a mass care center, but who wish to be monitored will be extended these services at mass l care centers. The decontamination monitoring procedures and record keeping are identical for people who remain at mass care centers.
D. Decontamination t'onitoring Station for Emergency Workers
( .
- 1. Upon completiori of his/her mission, or as directed by super-l visors, each emergency worker may be ordered to report to a l decontamination monitoring station, to be monitored for radio-l logical contamination, and, if necessary, decontaminated.
- 2. Since the mass care centers for the public are generally located.
20 or more miles from the nuclear facilities, decontamination monitoring stations for emergency workers are established closer to the plume exposure pathway EPZ.
l l
l
- 3. All decontamination monitoring stations are to extend services to any requesting emergency worker of any organization.
l MON-7 Draft 2 l
l l
E. Equipment and Personnel Requirements
- 1. The instrument used for decontamination monitoring is the CD V-700 Geiger-Mueller Survey Meter (range: approximately 0.0 to 50 mR/h).
- 2. A sufficient number of CD V-700 survey meters are available for each mass care center to allow one meter for each 250 mass care spaces; decontamination stations have available one CD V-700 for each 50 emergency workers.
- 3. Personnel requirements are one trained monitor and one recorder l (assistant to the monitor) for each survey meter as a minimum.
Each decontamination monitor and recorder is supplied with dosimetry (CD V-742 and TLD) and KI.
- 4. Inventory, maintenance, and property accountability with regard to dosimetry, survey mete s, and KI are described in this Attachment.
F. Decontamination Monitoring Record Keeping
- 1. A decontamination station log should be completed for each person monitored, and necessary information recorded on the station master log.
- 2. Decontamination monitoring personnel will be responsible for completing a " Decontamination Monitoring Report Form" for each individual with a reading of 0.05 mR/h (milliroentgens per hour) or more above background, which is the action level set indicat-ing that decontamination of the individual is necessary. The form will be completed, signed by'the monitor at each of the steps [(1) initial monitoring, (2) after 'first decontamination, (3) after second decontamination, (4) medical referral .] Two copies of the form will be prepared. One copy will be given to the individual when decontamination is completed or the individ-MON-8 Draft 2
ual- is sent to a medical facility. The original will be retained by the county in a historical file.
G. Progress Reports on Decontamination Monitoring Decontamination team chiefs must verbally report at two hour intervals to their County Radiological Officers on the results of monitoring. The report shall include the following cumulative data: number of persons monitored; number contaminated; number decontaminated; number referred to a medical facility (for radiation decontamination / treatment'); the highest reading (above 0.05 mR/h) on any particular individual; and any unusual or particularly notable findings. The decontamination station log is designed to permit necessary summaries to be extracted.
I
I. PROCEDURE
S FOR DECONTAMINATION MONITORING TEAMS A. Decontamination Monitoring Procedures Monitors performing decontamination monitoring of people should follow these procedures:
- 1. Select a reception location for conducting the monitoring operation. Precautions must be taken to prevent contamination of the area.'
- 2. Use the CD V-700. Attach the headphone. This allows the monitor to observe the position of the probe and better control it while monitoring. The headphone responds more quickly to changes in radiation level than the meter.
- 3. Check the operation of the CD V-700.
- 4. Place the probe in a light plastic bag or cover of lightweight material to prevent contamination. This is desirable but not mandatory.
MON-9 Draft 2
n'
~
- 5. Periodically determine the background radiation level of the location where the monitoring is to take place. If the meter
'~
indication is above background radiation with the probe shield closed, find a better location that will bring the meter indication as low as possible.
- 6. Open the shield on the' CD V-700 probe and put on the headphone.
- 7. Place the probe two inches from the head, being careful not to touch the person.
t
- 8. Move the probe downward on one side of the neck, the collar, the shoulder, arm, wrist, hand, underarm, armpit, side of body, side of leg, around the cuff and shoe, including the bottom of the shoe. Then monitor the inside of the leg from the cuff to the groin and co'ntinue the procedure on the other side of the body
. (reference Illustration 1).
l 9. Monitor the front and back of the body.
- 10. Record required information on the Decontamination Monitoring Station Log. If a reading on any person exceeds 0.05 mR/ hour, complete a Decontamination Monitoring Report Form (PEMA DMR-1).
- 11. Assure that individuals found to be contaminated are decontam-inated.*
l l
- 12. Monitor the individual after decontamination to determine that i the contamination has been removed. Repeat decontamination procedures if contamination still remains.
l
- A person is considered contaminated if there is a reading of 0.05 mR/h or more above background. Do not confuse background radiation with your readings; contamination would be apparent by a sustained increase on the visual meter reading (selector switch on X 1 range), and also by a marked l
. increase in the audible indication from the headphone.

B. Thyroid Gland Screening Check for Emergency Workers
- 1. In addition to the steps outlined in II.A. immediately above, emergency workers are to be screened for thyroid gland uptake of radioiodine.
- 2. The thyroid uptake screening procedure follows:
- a. The CD V-700 is used as the screening detector for thyroid uptake of radioiodine.
. CAUTION The individual being checked must be free of any
~
contamination before this procedure is implemented.
, b. . Monitors performing the thyroid screening uptake procedure
, should follow these steps: .
(1) Put the probe with the shield closed across the front of the neck just below the larynx ( Adam's Apple).
(2) If the reading is greater than or equal to 0.1 mR/hr, refer the individual to the appropriate medical facility for evaluation.
l l (3) If the reading is less than 0.1 mR/hr, no further action is necessary.
(4) Record the data on the Dosimetry-XI Report Form and sign in the appropriate place.

C. Decontamination of People
- 1. Contaminated persons should wash with soap and warm water; i.e.,
a thorough shower should be sufficient. Emphasis should be placed on any specific spots found to be contaminated in the saonitoring process. Also, special attention should be given to the hair, hands and fingernalis.
4
- 2. After thorough cleansing the individual should be monitored again. If some contamination still remains, the individual should shower again and use a mild abrasive soap. If monitoring -
after the second thorough cleansing indicates that the contam-ination is still present, the individual should be sent to the nearest medical facility capable of treating contaminated persons. See Attachment C for a list of such facilities.
- 3. Care should be taken that persons who are decontaminated do not become recontaminated by dressing in contaminated clothing (the clothing .they were wegring or po'ssibly oth6r clothing brought by
.them.) If the individual does no.t have contamination free clothing, clothing should be issued the individual until such time as their clothing can be decontaminated.
i D. Decontaminat, ion Procedures for Wounds Persons -with contaminated wounds should receive appropriate emer-gency medical care and be referred to an appropriate medical facility for radiation decontamination and further treatment.
, s E. Clothing Decontamination Procedures
- 1. Articles which are machine washable should be .aundered with a conventional detergent, line dried in a contamination free area or machine dried, and retained until they can be monitored.
Water repellent items may be scrubbed with water and detergent, and retained until monitored.
MON-13 Draft 2
- -m.-- -. --.e____--
p .
- 2. The , County DES is responsible for arranging for a laundry
~ facility dedicated to washing of contaminated clothing.
F. Decontamination Procedures for Supplies, In.struments and Equipment
- 1. The item in question should be monitored first to determine the extent and area of contamination by thoroughly going over the object with the CD V-700 probe (with open shield) about two inches from the surface. Decontamination of these articles is generally accomplished by wiping or washing to the extent necessary to remove the radiocontaminants.
- 2. The County DES is responsible for arranging for radiation monitoring of vehicles and.for decontamination. At mass care centers, monitoring teams will initially direct their efforts to a
the evacuees as described in (a) and (b) above. When time
. permits, the monitoring teams can monitor the vehicles of the evacuees where they are parked'. Generally, external monitor 1ng of vehicles will be sufficient; however, inside mo'nitoring will 4
also be accomplished for those vehicles found to be externally contaminated or used by persons found to be contaminated. Suit- *
- , able car washing arrangements can be made for external decontam-ination depending upon the number of vehicles contaminated and amount of radiocontamination. Vehicles with contamination in the interiors will be impounded and the county radiological offic'er notified.
G. Disposal of Contaminated Wastes i 1. As described above, clothing and similar materials as well as miscellaneous equipment and vehicles can be decontaminated.
Where cleaning materials and other items cannot be successfully decontaminated, special handling is necessary.
- 2. Contaminated waste materials should be packaged in a plastic bag, tied securely at the top, and placed in a metal container MON-14 Draft 2
(garbage can) with a snug fitting lid until it is laundered. If any material cannot be decont.aminated by laundering, place it in the same type of plastic bag and container and store in a locked room that is not used for any other purpose until such time as the contaminated waste is disposed of by FRMAP personnel.
Accumulation of contaminated waste materials and the need for disposal should be reported through the emergency management system. ,

_ 00SIMETRY AND POTASSIUM IODIDE (KI) INFORMATION I. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Each emergency worker assigned tasks within the plume exposure pathway EPZ will be equipped with three dosimeters, a Dosimetry-KI
' Report Form, and a 14 day supply of potassium (KI). Two of the dosimeters are self-reading; they are the CD V-730 or a DCA-622, both of which measure from 0 to 20 R, and the CD V-742 which measures from 0 to 200 R. The third dosimeter is a thermolumines-
~
cent dosimeter (TLD) which is a card type device that is read by the TLD service contractor.
! B. Decontamination. monitoring teem members are issued a CD V-742, a l TLD, KI and a Dosimetry-KI Report Form.
C. Dosimeter chargers (CD V-750) which are used to "zero" or charge the self-reading dosimeters are located with, or within easy cccess to, each emergency. organizational
- unit.
l' D. The CD V-740 (0-100R) self-reading dosimeter is consiered an adequate substitute for either the CD V-730 or CD V-742.
II. DISTRIBUTION OF D0SIMETRY-P0TASSIUM IODIDE AND RELATED PROCEDURES A. Distribution i
The TLDs, CD V-730s E DCA-622s, CD V-742s, Dosimetry-KI' Report Form, potassium iodide and appropriate numbers of CD V-750s in support of response to fixed nuclear facility incidents are either
! prepositioned or available from the County DES. The using organi-l zations will obtain equipment from the municipalities and distribute to their emergency workers dosimetry and KI upon the declaration of SITE EMERGENCY. (Note: Decontamination monitoring teams at MON-18 Draft 2 l
L j
l decontamination centers and stations are not activated until SITE EMERGENCY, upon which distribution is made to the team.)
B. Property Control Property accountability must be maintained in the distribution process. The " Receipt Form for Dosimetry-Survey Meters-KI" is designed for transferral of quantities of equipment from agency to agency, such as from the county to municipalities and decontamina-tion teams, and from municipalities to emergency response ~organiza-tions (fire, police, ambulance). " Acknowledgment of Receipt by Emergency Workers for Dosimetry-KI and Survey Meters" is designed to expedite transferr,al of the equipment-KI to individual users.
Municipal E0Cs, fire companies, police departments, ambulance services and decontamination monitoring teams should use this fo,rm to maintain accountability when distributing the equipment-KI to their individual emergency workers.
Upo*n termination of an incident, all equipment and unused l(I mus't be returned to original storage locations and inventoried. l I
l III. POTASSIUM IODIDE (KI)
A. Background Information
- 1. Iodine accumulates in the thyroid gland which is located at the i l front of the neck just below the larynx ( Adam's apple).
Radioactive iodine is no different, i.e., it will accumulate in the thyroid gland in high concentration. Taking KI will have the effect of saturating the thyroid gland with iodine so that radioiodine does not lodge there in a large quantity. Hence, KI lessens the risk to the thyroid gland; otherwise, it provides no l protection against radiation.
l
- 2. The Pennsylvania Department of Health is responsible for developing policies relating to use of KI during fixed nuclear MON-19 Draft 2
incidents. The department 5as procured KI tablets for emergency workers and KI in liquid form for staff and patients of risk hospital s. Thyro-Block. (product of Carter-Wallace Inc.) is the brand name of the KI tablets procured by the department. A unit
~
of Thyro-Block consists of 14 tablets of 130 milligrams in size; the dose is one tablet per day. The liquid preparation (manufactured by Roxanne, Inc.) dosage 4 S six drops per day; for planning purposes the liquid KI requirements are based upon a 14 day supply per person.
- 3. The toxicity level of KI is very low and dangers in taking this drug are considered to be minimal. Nonetheless, individuals should not take more than the recommended dose. Although side effects to KI are unlikely because of the low dose and the short time period it will be taken, some side effects are possible.
The side effects may include: skin rashes, swelling of the salivary glands, and " iodism" (metallic taste, burning mouth and throat, sore teeth and gums, cold symptoms and sometimes gastrointestinal symptoms.) A few people may have an allergic reaction with more serious symptoms. . These symptoms could include elevate'd temperature, joint pains, swelling of the face and body, and at times, severe shortness of breath which requires immediate medical attention.
- 4. The effectiveness of KI as a blocking agent is greatest if administered before the time of exposure to radioiodine, but some exposure saving can be obtained by administration shortly after exposure.
B. Pennsylvania Department of Health Policies on KI
- 1. KI in tablet form is available to emergency workers (emergency management agencies, police forces, fire companies, ambulance services, and farmers keeping livestock).
MON-20 Draft 2
- 2. The Secretary of the Department of Health is charged with the decision to use KI during an incident. KI should be taken only on the advice of the Secretary of the Department of Health. The Secretary's advice will be disseminated to emergency workers through emergency management channels. Upon taking KI, the emergency worker should record this information on the i Dosimetry-KI Report Form.
l IV. DOSIMETRY READINGS. RECORD KEEPING AND PROTECTIVE ACTION OPTIONS i
l A. Dosimetry Reading Procedures
- 1. Dosimeters should be worn in the pocket of an outer garment from the time of issue until the worker is dismissed from duty or l
until PEMA says dosimetry is no longer necessary. In no case should the TLD be worn by more than one person since there is no way of ascertaining later how much of the dose recorded on the TLD was received by each individual, if more than one person was involved.
r i 2. For practical purposes each Roentgen registered on either of the
! self-reading dosimeters is to be interpreted to mean that the worker has received a corresponding number of rem, e.g., a
! reading of 5 R should be interpreted to maan that a 5 rem dose i
I has been received.
i
- 3. Each emergency worker should read the self-reading dosimeters at least once each thirty minutes.
!. 4. Two self-reading dosimeters provide redundancy. Although it is !
possible for dosimeters of this type to have " electrical l leakage" that will register a reading not caused by radiation, workers are to " err on the side of caution" by heeding the higher reading of the two dosimeters.
l MON-21 Draft 2 L
B. Protective Action Guides (PAG) for Emergency Workers
- 1. Whole Body Exposure - The protective action guide for whole body exposure specified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and by BRP is 25 rem. Workers shoul'd use the self-reading' dosimeter (s) to ensure that the 25 rem whole body PAG is not exceeded. By regularly checking the self-reading dosimeter (s),
the worker can make reasonable judg'nents about how much radiation, if any, has been received and at what rate it is being received.
- 2. Emergency workers and supervisors are cautioned that the 25 rem protective action guide should not be construed as " license" to incur radiation exposure unnecessarily. Workers and supervisors should keep exposure as low as reasonably achievable. This concept means that exposure to radiation should be kept to a minimum for all persons and that any one individual should not l receive a total dose far in exces'sof other emergency workers if
. circumstances permit substitution of personnel, termination of the assignment, or other protective action.
l 3. Thyroid Gland Exposure - The EPA and BRP PAG for thyroid dose is 125 rem for emergency workers but with no specific upper limit
- for life saving activities since in the extreme case complete thyroid loss might be acceptable for a life saved.
- 4. Life Saving Missions - Responsible emergency management of off-site workers dictates that exceeding the 25 rem protective action guide snould not occur. However, if there should be extraordinary circumstances wherein a person's life is at stake, the 24 rem whole body dose may be exceeded in order to complete a life saving mission. The EPA and BRP specify an upper limit of 75 rem whole body dose for life saving missions, subject to special approval, conditions, and measures. Therefore, persons who volunteer for a life saving mission may exceed the 25 rem
. MON-22 Draft 2 i
whole body limit set for emergency workers, but in no case may they exceed 75 rem. .
Elected officials in authority may authorize, in advance, volunteer emergency workers to exceed the protective action guidelines (25 rem whole body exposure) to a maximum of 75 rem for a life saving mission. This advance authorization is intended to avoid delay in performing a necessary life saving mission. A wide margin of safety should be maintained to avoid risk from possible adverse long term health effects caused by
- radiation exposure. Decision makers (elected officials) should consider the information in paragraph C below and also ensure that the following conditions have been met:
- a. The mission is of life saving importance,
- b. Alternative solutions have been exhausted.
- c. Emergency workers should be healthy adult male volunteers, preferably over 45 years of age.. .
- d. The emergency workers selected should be persons whose normal duties might involve such missions, i.e., policemen and firefighters with suitable prote'ctive clothing and respiratory equipment.
- e. The mission is accomplished in the least amount of " stay l
time."
- f. The emergency workers are knowledgeable of and accept the increased risk of exceeding the 25 rem PAG.

4 "C . Increased Risks Due to Radiation Exposure
- Information concerning the possible consequences of emergency workers' exposure to radiation during a fixed nuclear incident is organized below into three categories - (1) immediate somatic effects, (2) long term somatic effects, and (3) genetic effects.
Somatic is an adjective pertaining to characteristics of or effects on the body, as distinguished from genetic characteristics or genetic effects which are manifested in offspring (descendants).

k
- 2. Long ferm Somatic Risks as a Result ofE a One Time Exposure to Radiation '
Current knowledge about the long term health effects resulting from a one time radiation exposure below 25 rem indicates that l development of health problems, suc'h as cancer, in adults so exposed is extremely unlikely. There is no direct clinical !
evidence of low level radiation (in this case meaning a one time exposure below the whole body' Jose protective action guide of 25 ,
rem) causing health problems years after the exposure. ,
- 3. Genetic Effects of Radiation l Radiation exposure of reproductive cells of the ovary and testis causes gene and chromosome abnormalities (mutation). Persons exposed to any radiation should . avoid the possibility of concep-tion during the first few months after exposure, in order to v'irtually eliminate any possible genetic risk.
D. Dosimetry and KI Record Keeping
, 1. Each emergency worker is responsible for completing a Dosimetry-KI Report Form (reference Attachment A) and for returning it, along with the dosimetry, to his organization at the termination of his sarvices. Each emergency organization shall forward the forms' and dosimetry to 'the County DES.
- 2. If emergency' workers turn in their TLD for rr 11ng and are later deployed in an area where dosimetry is needec 1ey should be issued new TLDs.
V. FARMER ACCESS TO THE PLUME EXPOSURE PATHWAY EPZ A. Farmers as Emergency Workers Farmers with livestock within the plume exposure pathway EPZ will be designated emergency workers if the EPZ is evacuated. Farmers will MON-25 Draft 2 1
--._.J _
l be provided with dos'imetry and KI and identification enabling them -
to stay within or exit and reenter the evacuated area to tend liv'e'tock.
s B. Distribution of Dosimetry-KI and Farmers' " Pass" to the Evacuated Area A " Contact and Dosimetry-KI Distribution Point for Farmers" will be established at Lionville Fire Department, Village Avenue, Lionville.
C. Limitation on Farmer Access 'to the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ The farmer's emergency worker status and authorization to be in the EPZ can be suspended if the incident becomes serious enough to warrant this action.
