GLOSSARY i
The terms listed below are used in these procedures or may be used in the. emergency broadcast messages which you may hear on your tone alert radio in the event of a' radiological emergency at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station.
Underlined-l words cited in the definitions are cross-indexed.
I ALERT An alert would be declared if there were an actual or potential safety problem at the plant.
Chances of a
. radioactive release are small.
An Alert condition is I
declared to ensure that emergency personnel, including radiation survey teams, are on standby in case the situation becomes more serious.
LILCO informs all government agencies of the Alert condition and conducts briefings for the press.
CONTAMINATION The presence of radioactive material in undesirable locations.
DECONTAMINATION The reduction or removal of radioactive contaminants from an obj ect, 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.
The rem is a unit of absorbed dose.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC)
The command, coordination, and communication center operated j
by LERO which will be-activated to evaluate the radiological emergency and make and coordinate protective action recommendations alcng with other efforts that may be implemented for emergency response.
EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE (EPZ) l The area about a nuclear power plant for which planning is accomplished to assure that prompt and effective actions can
.. be ta:cen to protect the public in the event of a radiological emergency.
The plume exposure EPZ is an area approximately 10 miles in radius around a nuclear power plant.
Revision 1
EVACUATION The' protective action that entails the actual movement of people out of the affected area.
EXERCISE A preplanned event that tescs a major portion of all of the basic. elements within the radiological emergency response plan.
This event tests the capability of the emergency preparedness organization to successfully respond to a radiological emergency that could result in offsite consequences.
GENERAL EMERGENCY A General Emergency would be declared if there were i
potential or actual fuel. core damage and radiation releases were expected to exceed limits beyond which the government j.
requires protective action.
LERO Local Emergency Response Organization MILLIREM (MREM)
One-thousandth (1/1,000) of a rem.
MONITORING, RADIOLOGICAL l
The operation of locating and measuring radioactivity by means of survey instruments that can detect and measure (as dose rates) ionizing radiation.

OFFSITE The area beyond the property boundary line of a nuclear.
power plant.
i ONSITE-The area including and around the nuclear power plant enclosed by the property boundary line.
PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDELINES Projected radiological doses to individuals in the general population and emergency workers, that warrant protective actions following a release of radioactive material.
PROTECTIVE ACTIONS The measures taken in anticipation of, during, or after or 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.
i RADIATION A
The emission or propagation of waves or particles such as light, sound, radiant heat, particles or waves, emitted by radioactivity including any or all of the following: alpha i
particles, beta particles, genua rays, X-rays, neutrons, high-speed electrons, high-speed protons and other atomic particles.
RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY l
Any event involving actual or potential radiation exposure or radiological contamination to the environment.
RELEASE l
Escape of radioactive materials into the environment.
l.
j
' REM i
i A measure of radiation's biological effect, similar to the way degrees measure temperature or inches measure distance.
SHELTERING i
The protective action consisting of going indoors, closing doors and windows, and turning off ventilation systems.

Revision 1 t
E SITE AREA EMERGENCY This classification would be declared if there were actual or pot;ential 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 Emertency is declared, emergency personnel would report to t3eir stations, radiation survey teams would be dispatched, and government agencies and the 4
public would be notified.
IINUSUAL EVENT j
This classification would be declared if 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.

Concept of Operations I..
Introduction Under the Shoreham Plan, emergencies.are to be classified using four categories of increasing seriousness:
Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.
Only at a General Emergency would there be the possibility that a release of radioactivity would be of sufficient-magnitude to potentially exceed, in the plume Emergency i
Planning Zone (EPZ), the Environmental Protection Agency's Protective Action Guideline dose levels.
t 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 LERO.
Your tone alert radio may be activated at the Alert Classification although there will be no need for adult / nursing homes to take any protective actions at that emergency classification.
If at a higher classification protective actions are recommended for adult / nursing homes, LERO would also contact your facility by telephona i
to verify that you received the protective action D
recommendation.
Protective actions of shelter'ing or evacuation are recommended based upon the projected radiation doses that may be received in particular areas of the plume EPZ, and the amount of time available in which to respond relative to the amount of time necessary to implement a response.
II.
Sheltering In sheltering your residents during a release of radioactivity from Shoreham, the residents are being protected from two kinds of exposure:
(1) external i
exposure to radiation from an overhead plume and (2) internal exposure from inhaling radioactive particulates from the plume.
III.
Evacuation l
It is possible to postulate a highly unlikely accident scenario that would result in the conclusion that it would be necessary to evacuate the Ridge Rest Home.
If evacuation is recommended, LERO will provide your facility l
with transportation to a reception center outside the EPZ.

ATTACHMENT 3 Potassium Iodide (KI) Distribution Instructions I.
General Background on KI:
KI blocks radioiodine, which might be ingested or inhaled by an _ exposed person, from entering the thyroid gland by saturating the gland with nonradioactive iodine. 'If radiciodine exposure has occurred or is anticipated, the Administrator or her designee can recommend the use of KI
.i as a protective action, in conjunction with sheltering.
i Because KI works by saturatin nonradioactive iodine before g the thyroid gland with radioiodine reaches the thyroid, it is very important to take KI shortly before or soon after any exposure to radioiodine.
The concept is
. illustrated by the fact that KI is over 95. percent effective when taken at the time of exposure to radioiodine and is only 50 percent effective when taken 3-4 hours after exposure.
It is igortant to remember that KI protects only the thyroid gland and does not protect the rest of the body from radiation exposure.
l II.
Decision Authority:
LERO will not make a recommendation for the use of KI as a protective action.
The decision to recommend KI will be i
i made by the Administrator or her designee.
t III.
Recommended Dose and Frequency:
The recommended dosage is one (1) 130 m. tablet per day (equivalent to 100 mg. of iodine) to all individuals over one year of age and one-half (%) of a 130 mg. tablet per day (equivalent ca 30 mg. of iodine) to infants under one (1) year of age.
KI will not be required after ten (10) days if other protective measures are takea.
These protective measures could include interruption of contaminated milk supplies or evacuation.
l 1
l-Revision 1 I
~
Radioiodine already present in the body but blocked from entering the thyroid gland by KI will continue to circulate for upito 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after cessation of exposure.
Thus, it takes the body two (2) days to eliminate radiciodine by renal excretion.. % e thyroid gland must be
' protected for this 48 hour5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> period to prevent uptake of radioiodine from other parts of the body.
Continued use-of KI is, therefore, required for two (2) additional days after cessation of exposure.
The minimum dosage of KI is
.three (3) days..
IV. - Side Effects:
' Read the manufacturer's brochure for possible side effects to KI.
If the side effects are severe or if a person has an allergic reaction, they should contact a doctor.

Storage:
There are no special storage requirements for this t KI, provided that each bottle remains tightly close.ype of It-is recommended, however, thic all KI be ke and key to ensure against possible misuse.pt under lock l
