GLOSSARY The terms listed below are listed 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

-(SNPS).

Underlined words cited in the definitions are cross-indexed.

ALERT An alert would be declared if there were un actual or potential safety problem at the plant.. Chances of a i

radioactive release are small.

An Alert condition is 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 rad'ioactive contaminants from an object, person or area, as by cleaning or washing with water or detergents.

DOSE l

A quantity of energy absorbed from ionization per unit mass of tissue.

The rem is a unit of absorbed dose.

I EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC)

The command, coordination, and communication center operated by LERO which will be activated to evaluate the i

radiolonical emernency 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 i

be taken 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.

.L EVACUATION The protective. action that entails the actual movement of people out of the affected area.

EXERCISE A preplanned event that tests 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 potential or actual fuel core damage:and radiation releases-were-expected to exceed limits beyond which the government requires protective action.

LERO Local Emergency Response Organization MONITORING, RADIOLOGICAL The operation of locating and measuring radioactivity by means of survey instruments that can detect and measure (as dose rates) ionizing radiation.

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT A commercial nuclear electric power generating facility.

NUCLEAR 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 The area beyond the property boundary line of a nuclear power plant.

Revision 0

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.

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. 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

. particles, beta particles, gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, high-speed electrons, high-speed protons and other atomic particles.

SITE AREA EMERGENCY This classification would be declared if there were actual or potential' major failures of plant systems.

At this i

level, radioactive releases which eight 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.

UNUSUAL EVENT 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.

B.

-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 Planning Zone (EPZ), the Environmental Protection Agency's l

Protective Action Guideline dose levels.

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 4

- LERO.

If your tone alert radio is activated at the Alert

. Classification 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 telephone to verify that you received the protective action recommendation.

Protective actions of sheltering or evacuation are recommended based upon the prbjected radiation doses that may be. received in particular areas of the plume EPZ, and the amount'of time available in which to respond relative i

to the amount of time necessary to implement a response.

While it is unlikely that an accident resulting in a l

release would occur at Shoreham, it is more unlikely that i

a release would occur that.would make it necessary to take protective action out to the 10-mile boundary.

I 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 exposure to radiation from an overhead plume and (2) t l

internal exposure from inhaling radioactive particulates from the plume.

J 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 Mill Crest Rest Home.

However, Mill Crest Rest Home is located near the edge of the plume l

EPZ and in most accident scenarios, a radioactive release from Shoreham would not present your facility with an immediate emergency (as would, for example, a fire),

l giving your facility ample time to implement protective actions.

In addition, government studies indicate that i

the probability of large radiation doses, even from a worse case accident at the plant, drops off substantially at about 10 miles from the reactor (NUREG 0396, Pg.

1-37).- If evacuation is recommended, LERO will provide l

your facility with transportation to a reception centerL l

outside the EPZ.

ATTACHMENT 2 Potassium Iodide (KI) Distribution Instructions

.I.

General Background on KI:

lKI 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 radioiodine exposure has occurred or is anticipated, the Administrator or her designee can recommend the use of KI as a protective action, in conjunction with sheltering.

Because KI works by saturating the thyroid gland with nonradioactive iodine before radioiodine reach the thyroid, it is very important to take KI shortly before or soon after any exposure to radiciodine.

This 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 important to remember that KI protects only the thyroid gland and does not protect the rest of the body from radiation exposure.

HII._ Decision Authority:

~

'II.

Decision. Authority:

LILCO will not make a recommendation for the use of KI as-a protective action.

The decision to recommend KI will be made by the Administrator or his designee.

III.

Recommended Dose and Frequency:

The recommended dosage-is one (1) 130 mg. 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 under day (equivalent to 50 mg. of iodine) to infants under one (1) year of age.

i KI will not'be. required after-ten (10) days if other l

protective measures are taken.

These protective measures L

could include interruption of contaminated milk supplies or evacuation.

i l

Radioiodine already present in the body but blocked from l

entering the thyroid gland by KI will continue to circulate for up to 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

~'

radioiodine by renal excretion.

The 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 Revision 0
