It is def t led for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.

a.

Plesne Exposure Pathway - The area surrounding a fixed l

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:

(1) whole bocy external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials, a

and (2) inhalation exposure froin the passing radioactive j

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 each plume exposure pathway EPZ for the respective fixed nuclear facility in Pennsylvania were determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demography, topograpny, i

access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.

I 2

b.

Alert - An occurrence which involves actual or potential suostantial degradation of the level of safety of the i

facility. Any releases are expected to be limitu to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guideline exposure levels.

c.

Site Emergency - An occurrence which 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 exposure levels except near the facility site boundary.

d.

General Emergency - An occurrence which involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or meltiny with the potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can.

reasonably by expected to exceed EPA protective action guideline exposure levels offsite far more than the immediate site area boundaries.

10. Main Evacuation Routes - Those roadways identified in state and risk county plans as tne principal routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ tor use by vehi:.les in the event of an incident requiring evacuation. Traffic control pints will be manned by the Penasylvania State Police to expedite traffic movemenc.

ATTACHMENT 4 Sample Letter VALLEY FORGE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

~

Dear Parent:

The Valley Forge Christian Academy has developed plans to protect school children in ~the event of an incident at' thelimerick Generating Station..

Normally, the Academy will be closed before any protective actions are necessary, but in the event that sne5 taring er evacuation are necessary before school is closed, the Academy has plans for accomplishing any required protective actions. To make the plans effective, we need your cooperation.

4 In the event of a nuclear incident at the Limerick Generating Station that would require the protective evacuation of the Valley Forge Christian Academy, students will be safely bussed directly to a nost school. Tne nost school for the Academy is West Chester University Field House located in West i

Chester, PA. Parents or legal guardians are requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the host scnool Duilding i

follow:

o 1

The Academy is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, tnat an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents /auard-ians be reunited witn students as quickly and conveniently as possible. Tne Academy requests that parents / guardians who want to pick-up students at scnool, wnen an evacuation has been. ordered or appears imamient, remember tnat school driveways and access roads need to be kept open for buses.

In i

addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students-and keep a current and accurate stucent census. Therefore, Academy staff will remain with students awaiting pick-up and during evacuation, and the host school is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public. Picase be patient and rememoer Academy staff will remain with students until all students are picked-up.

It is not j

necessary to rush, drive safely to the nost school and your child will be

. waiting for you under the supervision of Academy staff.

After 8 p.m., our host school may be closed and remaining students Dussed to a designated location (mass care centerJ located at Downingtown Area Senior High School. At this facility, students w111 be provided snelter and food, awaiting parent / guardian arrival. The Red Cross operates this facility.

i Children will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior written arrangements nave been made by completing the attached authorization j

fcrm designating who can pick-up your child.

~

A4-1 gey, u l

i

Citizens Band, and Radio Emergency Action Teams (REACT).

3.

Central Resource Receiving Point - A predesignated location-outside the plume exposure pathway EPZr suitabie for the reception and distribution of supplies and equipment.

4.

Emeruency Broadcast System (EBS) Announcements - Official announcements maoe at the county level for tne specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from the County Commissioners, or their designated official representative, to the permanent and transient residents of the county. Announce-ments are made over the legally designated EBS network. EBS announcements at the State level are made only when they are applicable statewide. Priorities for EBS announcements are l

specified in law; first priority to the Federai government, second priority to county governments, and third priority to state governments. Restriction on use of EBS announcements does not preclude appropriate use of newspapers, radio and television for public information statements.

6.

Emeryoncy Management - The judicious planning, assignment and coordination of all available resources in an integrated program of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery for emergencies of any kind, whether from enemy attact, man-made or natural sources.

(May be termed Emergency Preparedness.)

6.

Emergency Operations Center (EOC) - A facility used by state, county or municipal govern.nents from which to direct operations 3

in the event of an emergency.

7.

Emer9ency Planning Zone (EPZ) - A generic area defined about a nuclear facility to facilitate offsite emergency planning and develop a significant response base.

It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.

l a.

Plunie Exposure Pathway - The area surrcunding a fixed nuclear facility wnich potentially is subject to radiation exposure as'a.*asult of an incident involving radioactive material emanatig from the facility. Such potential i

exposure could involve:

(1) whole body external exposure to j

gansna radiation from the plume and from deposited materials, and (2) 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 eacn plume exposure pathway EPZ for the respective fixed nuclear facility in Pennsylvania were determined in relation to iocal emergency response needt and capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demography, topography, l

access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.

2 Rev. 0

b.

Ingestirn Exp sura Pathway - That-area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility whicn, as a r;sult cf a relcase of radioactive material, is a potential source of exposure through tt;e ingestion of water and foods, such as milk or i

fresn vegetables originating there. This EPZ consists of a circular area of 50 miles radius around the fixed nuclear facility.

8.

Host School / Facility - Predeterritned schools / facilities outside tIIe plume exposure pathway EPZ to which risk school students are evawated, at which they remain under risk school officials' supervision, until they are picked up Dy their parents or legal guardians.

9.

Incident - An' event or condition at a nuclear facility wnich ceuld result in impact on public health and safety. Four emergency incident levels nave been developed to facilitate planning for response to nuclear inpidents:

a.

Unusual Eventt - An occurrence which indicates a potential degradation of the level of safety of the facility. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless furtner degradation of safety systems occurs, 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 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guideline exposure levels.

c.

Site Emergency - An occurrence which 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 yvideline exposure levels except near tne facility site boundary.

d.

General Emergency - An occurrence which involves actual or iminent snDstantial core degradation or melting witn the potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can reasonably by expected to exceed EPA protective action guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area boundaries.

10. Main Evacuation Routes - Tnose roadways identified in state and risk county' plans as tne principal routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ for usc by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation. Traffic control points will be manned by the Pennsylvania State Police to expedite traffic movement.

11. Mass care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby.

b.

General Evacuation - The evacuation of the eatire population within a specified geographic area.

c.

Selective Evacuation - The evacuation of specific elements of tne population, such as pregnant women, pre-school cnildren or the infirm.

17.

Evacuation ~ Concepts

1. -Protective Action Option Evacuation is a protective action option which involves movement of the population from the pl'me exposure pathway EPZ.

It may be accomplisned on a selective or general basis.

2.

Authorization and Control a.

The Governor, or nis constitutionally designated successor, has the sole authority and responsibility for directing and compelling a selective or general evacuation.

b.

Elected county or municipal officials in authority may recommend an evacuation for their respective jurisdictions.

c.

PEMA nas the primary responsibility for directing and controlling an evacuation order made by the Governor.

d.

A decision to evacuate risk municipalities (including schools) will be made by PEW and tne decision will be announced by PEMA througn the Chester County DES charnels to school officials. Municipal EMA Cocedintors will confirm r

l the notification of school building officials in their jurisdiction.

e.

The Upattinas Open Community Scnool Director nas tne autnor-ity to close scnool at their discretion. During a fixed j

nuclear facility incident, the Chester County DES must u kept informed of decisions to close school; as they will i

coordinate school closings among all scnools and dispaten/

Sample Lstte.r-c UPATTINAS OPEN COMMUNITY SCHOOL

Dear Parent:

The Upattinas Open Community School has developed plans to protect -school children in the event of an incident at tne Limerick Generating Station.

Normally, the Scnool will be closed before any protective actions are necesrary, but in the. event tnat sheltering or evacuation are necessary before 1.

school is closed, the School has plans for accomplishing any required protective actions. To make the plans effective, we need your cooperation.

i In the event of a nuclear lacident at tn? Limerick Generating Station that would require the protective evacuation of the Upattinas Open Community School students will be safely bussed.directly to a nost scnool. The nost school for the School is (West Chester University) located in West Chester, i

PA. Parents or legal guardians are requested to pick up their children at the host school build-ing. Directions to the host school building follow:

4 4

The School is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an i

accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents / guard-ians be reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. The i

School requests that parents / guardians who want to pick-up students at school, i

when an evacuatien nas been ordered or appears immenent, remember tnat school driveways and access roads need to be keot op6n for buses. Parents should report to tne main building. While preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate student census. Tnerefore, Senool staff will remain with students awaiting pick-up and during evacuation, and the host school is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public. Please be patient and remember School staff will remain with students until all students are picked-uji.

It is not necessary to rusn, you may drive safely to the nost scnool and your cnild will be waiting for you under tha supervision of School staff.

After 8 p.m., our host school may be closed and remaining students bussed to a designated location Lmass care center? located at Downingtown Area Senior Hign School. At this fac91ity, students w'It be provided snelter and food, awaiting parent / guardian arrival.

The Red Cross operates this facility.

J l

Cnildren will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior j

written arrangements nave been made by completing the attacned authorization form desi nating who can pick-up your cnild, j

Should sheltering be recommended, your cnild will be sheltered at the school.

If dismissal.is delayed,-you will be notified by radio, as you would during a snow emergency, etc.

Students or; out-of-area camping trips, activities, etc., will not return to the risk area where population might have to shelter or evacuate EPZ during protective action.. Plans will be compir. tad to extend the trip, etc., until the protective action advisory is suspended. Parents will be notified of sucn arangements.

s In order to insure the safety of the School students, I urgently request the cooperation of all-parents.

SCHOOL EVACUATION EBS ANN 0UNCEMENT Ina following message has been released by the Chester County Department of i

Emergency Services.

It supplements instructions given to the public relative 1.

to the general evacuation annuncement for the approximate ten-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station.

" Parents with children attending school within a ten-mile area of the Limerick Generating Station are advised that their children will be evacuated to a safe location where they can be reunited with their parents or guardians. Children will be bused to safe locations at host schools outside the risk area.

Parents are asked to meet their children there.

I repeat, children will be l

bused directly.to safe locations at host schools-outside the risk area where parents or. guardians may pick them up. Parents or guardians are urged to go directly to the host schools. Attempting to pick them up at the schools they attend might interfere with their safe evacuation.

Children attending Chester County schools within the 10-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station will be bused to locations whare they can be i

picked up.

Please refer to the information provided by your child's school that highlights these host schools and pick up procedures.

Parents are urged not to telephone or to go to the school that their children are attending inside the ten-mile radius of the plant.

This will only create

(

confusion.

Parents are to meet their c111dren at the assigned host-schuols.

I repeat, parents are urged not to telephone or to go to the school that their children are attending inside tne approximate ten-mile area, but to neet their children at assigned host schools.

If your child attends a school outside the ten-mile radius, you may pick up your child at that school.

l These host schools will remain open until 8 p.m.

After 8 p.m., your child will be transferred to an announced location to await pickup.

Tr.e preceding has been an announcement by the Chester County Department of Emergency Services giving parents instructions on where to meet their children who are attending school in the approximate ten-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station."

(Repeat this message one tiri.e then end transmission.)

(Such organizations include Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES).- Radio Amateur Civ.il Emer,ency Services (RACES), 4 Wheel Drive Clubs for Emergency Services. Civil Defense / Citizer.s Band, and Radio Emergency Action Teer-(REACT).

3. -Central Resource Receiving Point - A predesignated location outside the plume exposure patnway EPZ, suitable for the reception and distribution of supplies and equipment.

4. Emergency Broadcast Sntem (EBS) Announcements - Official announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from the County Commissioners, or their designated official representative, to the permanent and transient residents of ti,e county. Announce-ments are made over the legally designated EBS network. EBS announcements at the -State level are made only when they are applicable statewide. Priorities for EBS announcements are specified in law; first priority to the Federal government, second priority to county governments,-and third priority to state sovernments. Restriction en use of EBS announcements does not preclude appropriate use of newspapers, radio and television l for public information statements. 5. Emersency Management - The audicious p'annin,, assignment and coorc.ination of all available resources in an integrated program of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery for emergencies of any kind, whether from enemy attack, man-made or natural sources. (May be termed Emergency Preparedness.) 6. Emergency Operations Center (E0C) - A facility used by state, i county or municipal goverr.ments from which to direct operations in the event of an emergency. 7. Emergency Planning Zone f EPZ) - A generic area defined about a nuclear facility to faciiltate offsite emergency planning and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways. a. Plume Exposure Pathway - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which potentially is subject to radiation exposure as a result of an incident involving radioactive j material emanating from the facility. Such potential exposure could involve: (1) whole body external exposure to gamma radiation f rom the plume and from deposited materials, ( and (2) 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 Limerick i f 2 Dra f t 3 l

- GeneratiniStation plume exposure pathway EPZ was determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabil- . ities as they are affected by conditions such cs demography, 1-topography, access routes, and Jurisdictional boundaries.). o b. Ingestion Exposure Pathway - That' area surrounding a - fixed nuclear facility wntch,.as a result of a releaseLof: radioactive material. is a potential source of exposure .through.the ingestion of-water and foods, such as milk or fresh vegetables originatin, there. This EPZ consists of a circular area of 50 miles radius around the fixed nuclear - facil i ty. 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' 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 held 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. Four incident classifications have been identified to facilitate planning for a response to nuclear incider.ts. The classes '(from least serious to most serious) are: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Emergency.and General Emergency. Within each classification there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. The four classiff-E cations are: a. Unusual Event - An occurrence which indicates a potential degradation of the level of safety of the facility. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring ara expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs, b. Alert - An occurrence which involves actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safetj of the facil ity. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guideline exposure levels. c. Site Emergency - An occurrence which 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 guiueline exposure levels except near the facility site coundary. d. General Emergency - An occurrence which involves actual or i imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of coatainment integrity. Releases can i reasonably by expected to exceed EPA protective action suideline exposure levels offsite for more than the c j immediate site area boundaries. 3 Draft 3 i

10. Main Evacuatien ~Routis Those rcadways identified'. in = state andI risk caunty plans as the principal routes leading from the plume exposure pathway.EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an T

. incident requiring evacuation.: Traffic control points will be -i ~ manned by the Pennsylvania State Police'to expedite traffic movement.- 11. Mass D.e~ Center - Fixed facilities'. suitable for providing--

i emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily:

homeless.. Feeding ~may be_done within a mass care center (in .. suitable dining: facilities) or, nearby.

12.. Mobilize - The' act:of bringing a staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission;' including the pre-positioning or movement of equipment or' personnel.

13. : Municipality -. For the purposes of this plan, the ' terms

" municipality" or " municipal 3overnment" are defined or referring, singularly or collectively, to cities, boroughs, townships and incorporated towns within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 14. Parent County - The county. in which the nuclear facility is physically located. 15. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken. i '~ 16. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. Some of the basic actions are: a. Sheltering - Action taken by the public to take advanta e of v the protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following _the passage of the radioactive plume. b. General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire population within a specified geographic area. c. Salective Evacuation - The evacuation of specific elenents of the population, such as pregnant women, pre-school children or the infirm. 17. Publii. Information Statements - Public announcements made by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (pef 1A) or county official spokespersons via newspaper, radio or television to explain government actions being taken to protect the public in i event of any public emergency. The purpose of the announcement is to provide accurate information, prevent panic and counteract i misinformation and rumors. Reference to the emergency incident itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for yovernmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about it. l l l 4 Draft 3 J I

Risk County - A county located within the plume exposure patnway EPI of a nuclear facility. 21. Risk School Building - A school bulloing located partially orj wholly within the plume exposure _ pathway-EPZ of a fixed nuclear - facility. 22. School Servicu. Officer - An fndividual appointed by the Chester County Department of Emergency Services-(DES) who_ ensures;the coordination of risk school district plans for protective- . response and coordinates the alert / notification and resource c requirements of risk schools at the time of the emergency incident._ This individual provides staff assistance to the Cnester County E0C and operates under the direction and control of the Chester County Department of Emergency Seriices ' Director. 23. Standby Status - The term used to describe a state of readiness. Standard operating procedures have been reviewed; materiel, communications -and required supplies are available and adequate for initial operations; and sufficent personnel are on hand ts commence operations. Au3 mentation personnel necessary for sustained operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called. 24. Support County - The county or counties outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility that, through prior. agreement, will provide support to a risk county in the event of an incident.

E. Objdctives of the Plan The plan is presented to: 1. Clarify lines of authority and establisa responsibilities for the protection of school students and staff. 2. Ensure that planned actions are in consonance with Iknicipal, County and State RERP,'s. 3. Identify necessary resources and required personnel to assure protective actions can be implemented for the Technical School population. 4. Provide the basis'for orientation of school staff, students and parents / guardians regarding appropriate actions in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. II. BASIC PLAN A. General Because a number of school districts are found within the approximate 10-mile plume erposure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respective RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school population can best b'e served through an amergency plan that is in consonance among all districts, as well as with the Chester County Plan. Accordingly, the Technical School RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with other plans without risk af conflict. This,,lan is designed to protect school students while attending any school functioro including classroom and/or extracurricular activities, special events or any function sponsored by the school. 1. School in session refers to regular classroom hours (semesters; adult sessions; summer sessions; evening classes); when the authorized school calendar applies; when students are involved in regular school sponsored activities / events; or when students otropy school facilities under school supervision.* 2. School not in session refers to after hours durins the time of i the authorized' school calendar (regular and summer school l tenas). Special activities during vacation periods will be included if school facilities are occuppied by individuals or groups not authorized / sponsored by the school.* 3. This plan does not apply during vacation periods or when all school facilities are closed for extended periods. 7 l \\

1 Sample Letter 1 ATTACHMENT 4' NORTHERN CHESTER COUNTY TECHNICAL SCHOOL e

Dear Parent:

The Northern Chester County Technical School _ has developed plans to' protect students should an incident at.the Limerick Generating-Station require - protective response. -Normally..the Technical School will be closed before any protective actions are necessary, but in the event that sheltering or. evacuation are necessary before school is closed, the. School has plans for - accomplishing those protective actions. If evacuation'is necessary, students will. be safely bussed directly to a host school. The host sch'oo1 Lfor our School is' (Valley Forge Junior High School) located in an area approximately one (1) mile south of Valley Forge National -Park. Parents or legal guardians will be requested to pick up their children at the host. schoolf building. Directions to the host school building follows: When evacuation of students is required, the School is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be meintained throu3 out, and that parents / guardians be reunited with students as-h quickly and conveniently as possible. School staff will accmapany students during evacuation,' the host school is located along predetennined evacuation routes and close to the normal mass care centers for the 3eneral public. School staff will remain with students until all students are picked up.' It is not necessary to rush, driva safetly to the host school and your child will 4 be waiting for you under the supervision of school _ s+.aff. Because it is important that schoci drivew2ys and access roads be kept j i open for buses,' the School requests that parents /9uardians refrain from trying to pick up students at the Techni:al Scnool when an evacuation nas been oriored or appears immenent. In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is l difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate school census. If you are delayed in picking up your son or daughter, after 8 p.m., our . host school may be closed and remaining students bussed to a designated mass i care center, located at Downingtown Area Senior High School.- At this facility, students will be provided shelter and food, awaiting parent /4uardian arrival. The Red Cross operates this facility. A notice will be posted at .the host school to remind you of this mass care : enter,'s location: i j A4-1 Draft 3 l i- . l l

Sample Letter + Children will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior i written arrangements have been made. Please complete the attached fonn, designated who can pick up your child and have the child return the form to school. Should sheltering be recom;aended, your child will be sheltered in his own school building, located in the risk area whose population might have to shelter (EPZ), until the sheltering advisory is lifted. Should the sheltering advisory delay dismissal of students, you will be notified by radio, as you would be during a snow emergency, etc. s If technical school programs are suspended at any time during an incident, you will be notified by the School, indicating the suspension of technical programs. If Technical School is not being held and your child s high school has not been cancelled, your child will remain at high school,'and not attend the Technical School. Remember, refer to the high school's material regarding protective action to receive appropriate informat' ion in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. In order to insure the safety of the Northern Chester County Technical School children, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents. Sincerely, C. Robert Zimmerman Director A4-2 Draft 3

f e ~ ATTACHMENT 5 I l SCH00L' EVACUATION EBS ANNOUNCEMENT l The following message has been released by the Chester County Department of Emergency Services. It supplements instructions given to the public relative to the general evacuation annuncement for the approximate ten-mile area around the_ Limerick Generating Station. " Parents with children attending school within a ten-mile area of the Limerick Generating Station are advised that their children will be evacuated to a safe location where they can be reunited with their parents or guardians. Children. i will be bused to safe locations at host schools outside the risk area. Parents are asked to meat their children there. I repeat, children will be bused directly to safe locations at host schools outside the risk area where parents er guardians say pick them up. Parents or guardians are urged to'go directly to the host schools. Attempting to pick them up at the schools they attend might interfere with their safe evacuation. Children attending Chester County schools within the 10-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station will be bused to locations where they can be picked up. l Please refer to the information provided by your child's school that highlights these host schools and pick up procedures. i Parents are urged not to telephone or to go to the school that tneir children i are attending inside the ten-mile radius of the plant. This will only create confusion. Parents are to meet their children at the assigned host schools. I repeat, parents are urged not to telephone or to go to the school that their-children are attending inside the approximate ten-mile area, but to meet their cnildren at assigned host schools. If your child attends a school outside the ten-mile radius, you may pick up your child at that school. These host schools will remain open until 8 p.m. After 8 p.m., your child e will be transferred to an announced loc & tion to await pickup. The preceding has been an announchnent by the Chester County Department of Emergency Services giving parents instructions on where to meet their children who are attending school in the approximate ten-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station." (Repeat this message one time then end' transmission.) (This message will be broadcast along with the General Evacuation announcement when instructions are given by the Department of Emergency Services to do so.) ,i l-A5-1 Draft 3 '~

Ill; BASIC ~ PLAN' , A. - General Because a cumber of school districts are found within-tne approri'aate 10-mile plume exposure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generatin~g Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respective RERP's simultaneously, the safety of _the school population can best b'e served through an emergency plan that is in ~ conspance among all ' districts, as well as with the Chester County Plan. Accordingly, the Downingtown Area School District RERP has been devcloped in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with other plans without risk of conflict. This plan is designed to protect. school students while attendin1 any school function, including classroom and/or extracurricular activities, special events or any function sponsored by-the school.

1. ' School in session refers to ' regular classroom nours (semesters; summer sessions; evening classes); when the authorized school calendar applies; when students are involved in re3ular school sponsored activitf es/ events; or when students occupy schoal-facilities under. school supervision.*

2. School not in session-refers to after hours during the' time of tne authorized school calendar (regular and summer school terms). Special activities during vacation periods will be included if school facilities are_ occuppies by individuals.or-groups not authorized / sponsored oy the school (district).* 3. lais plan does not apply during vacation periods or when all school facilities are closed for extended periods. 4. Students refer to individuals in grades Kinder 3arten (K) to Twelve (12) or authorized pre-school program (s). S. In no case will students be dismissed to their own care if protective action is inuninent. School officials will remain responsible for student safety until parents / guardians can assu.ne responsibility. B. Direction and Coardination 1. The Superintendent af Schools shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by the School Board and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. P. The Superintendent of Schools is responsible to the School Board for all school emergency plans and procedures, the ccordination of protective action within the school building and for the safety of students and staff in the event of an incident at the

Dear Mr. - Cunnington,

The following questions were raised by members of our administrative staff as a result of our review of the fourth draft of ~ the emergency-response plan: 1. Remuneration to staff for time spent beyond the regular school day? 2. Legal liability of staff in handling and supervising beyond the regular school day. 3. If students are not sent back into the EPZ area Monocacy youngsters will need bussing to the high school. This increases the number of students to be supervised and the number of buses that wili be needed for transportation. 4. Pages 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28 sound directive in assigning and directing staff or teachers beyond the regular school day; faculty may take issue with this. Are there any precedents that can be cited? 5. Keep 14 buses at the high school after delivering students in the event the,"re r.-eded for Governor Mifflin. 6. Moving students from Amity and Monocacy will create too high an enrollment: ecnsequently municipal governments may not be able to be acconadated at the high school as suggested in our present plan. What contingencies can be worked out? 7. If the district moves on the alert signal as requested by Amity Township, whose liability insurance prevails? S. Staff training sessions - when? where ? cost? Sincerely, 1 g;4 .f Joseph 51. Mainello, uperi tendent ptl A J -.}}
