k A. GLOSSARY ~ As used in these procedures, the terms listed below have meanings given in the definitions. Underlined words cited in the definitions are cross-indexed. _ SnLT: An alert would be declared if there were an actual or . potential eafety problem at the plant. Chances of a ~ radioactive release are small. An Alert condition is ? declared to ensure that emergency personnel, including i radiation survey teams, are on standby in case the situation becomes more eerious. LILCO informs all government agencies l of the Alert condition and conducts briefings for the press. CONTAMINATION l The presence of radioactive material in undesirable locations. DECONTAMINATION The reduction or removal of radioactive contaminants from an object, person or area, as by cleaning or washing with water or detergents. DOSE A quantity of energy absorbed from ionization per unit mass of tissue. Tha y m is a unit of absorbed dose. DOSIMETER A device that measures radiation dose. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC) The command, coordination, and comerunication center l operated by LERO which will be activated to evaluate the radiological emergency and make and coordinate protective action recommendations along with other efforts that may be implemented for emergency response. EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE (EPZ) The area about a nuclear power plant for which planning is accomplished to assure that prompt and effective actions can be taken to protect the public in the event of a l radiological emeraency. The plume exposure EFZ is an area j g apprcximately.10 miles in radius around a nuclear power plant. l Revision 'O
.e ( a nCurlos The protective action that entails the actual movement of people out of the affected area. IIERCISE AbaNeplanned event that tests a major portion of all of the e elements within the radiological emergency response plan; This event tests the capability of the emergency i preparedness organization to successfully respond to a radiolonical emerzency that could result in offsite consequences. GENERAL EMERGENCY A General Energency would be declared of there were potential or actual fuel core damage and radiation releases were expected to exceed. limits beyond which the government requires protective action. LERO l Local Emergency Response Organization t MILLIREM (MREM) 1 One-thousandth (1/1,000) of a rem. MILLIROENTGEN (MR) j One-thousandth (1/1,00,0) of a Roentgen. MONITORING, RADIOLOGICAL The operation of locating and measuring radioactivity by l l means of survey instruments that can detect and measure (as dose rates) ionizing radiation. NUCLEAR POWER PLANT A commercial nuclear electric power generating facility. BUCLEAR REACTOR A device in which a fission chain reaction can be initiated, maintained, and controlled. Its essential component is a core with fissionable fuel. OFFSITE i i The arma beyond the property boundary line of a nuclear power plant.

- -PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDELINES Projected' radiological doses to individuals in the general t
population and emergency workers, that warrant protective l actions following a release of radioactive material. l PROTECTIVE ACTIONS The measures taken in anticipation of, during, or after a release of radioactive material. The purpose is to reduce the radiological doses to persons that would be likely to occur if the actions were not taken. RADIATION The emission or preparation of waves or particles such as light, sound, radiant heat, or particles emitted by radioactivity including an particles, beta particles,y or all of the following: alpha l high-speed electrons, high gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, speed protons and oth i particles. l RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY Any event involving actual or potential radiation exposure l or radiological contamination to the environment. ~ RELEASE Escape of radioactive materials into the environment. REM i i l Acronym for Roentgen Equivalent, a unit of dose equivalents the dosage of ionizing radiation that will cause the same i biological effect as one Roentaen of X-ray or gamma ray l dosage. l ROENTGEN A unit of radioactive dose of erposures the amount of X-radiation or ganana radiation t: sat will provide one - - electrostatic unit of charge (positive or negatiw) in one cubic centimeter of dry air at standard pressure and temperature conditions. g Revision O
k. SEELTERING The protective action consisting of going indoors, closing doors and windows, and turning off ventilation systems. SITE AREA EMERGENCY This clasnification would be declared if there were actual J or potential major failures of plant systems. At this level, radioactive releases which might require people living near the site boundary to take protective action may occur. If a Site Area Emergency is declared, emergency personnel would report to their stations, radiation survey teams would be dispatched, and government agencies and the public would be notified. SOURCE TERM The amount of (curies) radioisotope released to the environment, often expressed as a function of time (i.e., curies /second). THERM 0 LUMINESCENT DOSIMETER (TLD) A dosimetry badge worn by workers in the nuclear industry, used to measure possible exposure to ionizing radiation. The TLD has to be sent to a laboratory to be read. l UNUSUAL EVENT This classification would be declared of there were potential for a safety. problem, but there had been no release of radiation. At this level, there may be no need for a change in the operational status of the plant. LILCO would inform government authorities of the Unusual Event. l t ( Revision 0
- n. .ono c., rauon. ~- 1 DRAFT l I. Introduction r Under the Shoreham Plan, emergencies are to be classified using four categories of increasing seriousness: Unusual _ Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Baergency. - Only at a, General Snorgency would there be the possibility i . that a release of radioactivity would be sufficient magnitude - to potentially exceed, in the plume EPZ, the Environmental l Protection Agency's Protective Action Guideline dose levels. l Your facility will be notified initially of any emergency at Shoreham requiring protective actions by anyone in the EPZ by the tone alert radio provided to your facility by LILCO. Your tone alert radio will be activated at the Alert Classification althot@ there will be no need for i adult / nursing homes to take any protective actions at that emergency classification. 74 at a higher classification protective actions are reconsunded for adult / nursing homes, LERO would also contact your facility by telephone to verify that you received the protective action recommendation. Protective actions of sheltering or evacuation are recom-mended based upon the projected radiation doses that may be received in particular areas of the plume EPZ, and the amount j of time available in which to respond relative to the amount j of time necessary to implement a response. While it is un-likely that an accident resulting in a release would occur at Shoreham, it is more unlikely that a release would occur that would make it necessary to take protective action out to the 10-mile boundary. II. Shelterina In sheltering your residents during a release of radioactivity from Shoreham, the residents are being protected from two i-kinds of exposure: (1) external exposure to radiation from an overhead plume and (2) internal exposure from inhaling radio-active particulates from the plume. Adequate sheltering can be provided by your building. 'the sheltering areas are identified in Section C.. l III. Evacuation It is possible to postulate a highly unlikely accident scenario that would result in the conclusion that it would be necessary to evacuate sunrest Health Facilities. However, Sunrest Health Pacilities is located near the edge of the plume EPZ and in Revision O 4
-g. l most cecident coenarios, a radioactive release from Shoreham would not present your facility with an immediate emergency (as would, for exangle, a fire), giving your facility ample time to inylement protective actions. In addition, govern-ment studies indicate that the probability of large radiation doses, even from a worse case accident at the plant, drops _off substantial ~y at about 10 miles from the reactor (NUREG 0396, Pg. I-37). i i i t i o Revision 0
1. DRAFT C. SUHREST REALTH PACILITIES, INC. PROTECTIVE ACTION IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE IN THE EVENT OF A RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY AT M SHOREHAM NUCLEAR POWER STATION (SNPS) 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides guidance for the implementation of evacuation and sheltering efforts in the event of a radiological emergency at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station (SNPS). 2.0 RESPONSIBILITY The senior supervisor at the time of the emergency is responsible for implementing this procedure. 3.0 PRECAUTIONS l l You may be notified at the Alert level and will be notified at all higher emergency classifications that there is an emer-gency situation at the SNPS by the message broadcast over i your tone alert radio. Protective action reconunendations will not be made by LERO for nursing / adult homes until a Site Area or General Emergency is declared. 4.0 PREREQUISITES An Alert, Site Area amargen~cy or General Emergency condition is in progress and has been verified.
