B. References
- 1. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, " Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Energency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, November 1980.
- 2. Chester County Radiological Emergency Response Plan for inci-dents at the Limerick Generating Station, dated

- 4. Annex E, " Fixed Nuclear Facility Incidents," dated November ,
1981, to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Disaster Operations i Plan, j
- 5. Municipal Resolution No. .
C. Purpose The intent of this document is to provide for the maximum protection of those persons who live, work, or transit the Borough i of Spring City in the event of an incident at the Limerick . Generating Station. D. Scope This plan outlines the basic procedures the Borough of Spring City will follow in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. It complies with federal guidelines and details municipal actions in accordance with Annex E of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Disaster Operations Plan and the Chester County Radiological Emergency Response Plan. I 1 Draft 7
All of the Borough of Spring City lies within the plume exposure pathway EPZ (reference Attachment A and Attachment J). The approximate population is 3389. E. Definitions Some of the terminology presented in this document, or which one might encounter during a radiological incident, is somewhat unique. Accordingly, for a better understanding of the RERP it is essential that emergency response personnel familiarize themselves with the following definitions:
- 1. Access Control Point (ACP) - Control Points manned primarily by State or municipal police, augmented when necessary by the National Guard, established around the perimeter of the plume exposure pathway EPZ on roads leading into it when it is evacuated or occupants are taking shelter for the purpose of controlling access into the area.
- 2. Activate / Activation - To place a specific plan, or portion thereof, into action.
- 3. Amateur Radio - Licensed volunteer radio amateur communications personnel affiliated with county emergency management organization. Such organizations include Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) and Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES).
- 4. Central Resource Receivinc Point - A predesignated facility operated by the county anc: located outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ and suitable for the reception and distribution of supplies and equipment.
- 5. Dosimeters - Devices that measure accumulated exposure to radiation.
- 6. Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Announcements - Official announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or information from the County Commissioners, or their designated representative, to the permanent and transient residents of the county.
Announcements are made over the legally designated EBS Network.
- 7. Emergency 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,
- a. Plume Exposure Pathway - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which potentially is subject to radiatinn exposure as a result of an incident involving 2 Draft 7
radioactive material emanating from the facility. Such potential exposure could involve: (a) whole body , external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and :
'from deposited materials, and (b) 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 ; siz - and configuration of each plume exposure pathway i EPZ for the respective fixed nuclear facility in : Peni.sylvania were determined in relation to local j emergency response needs and capabilities as they are j affected by conditions such as demography, topography, 1 access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries), b._ Ingestion Exposure Pathway - That area surrounding a fixed nuclear. facility which, as a result of a release of radioactive material, is a potential source of exposure through the ingestion of water and foods, such as milk or fresh vegetables originating there. This EPZ consists of a circular area of 50 miles radius around the fixed nuclear facility.
- 8. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident - An event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in_ impact on public health and safety. Four incident classes have been developed to facilitate planning and responses:
- a. Unusual Event - An occurrence which indicates a potential degradation of the level of safety of the facili ty.- No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further 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 EPA protective action guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary.
- d. General Emergency - An occurrence which involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment integrity.
Releases can reasonably be expected to exceed EPA protective action guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. 3 Draft 7
NOTE: The incident classifications of Site and General Emergency should not be confused with a gubernatorial declaration of " State of Disaster Emergency." See definition below.
- 9. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless and capable of providing all essential social services. Feeding may be done within a Mass Care Center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby.
- 10. Mobilize - The act of bringing a staff, department, or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis; including the pre-positioning or movement of equipment or personnel.
- 11. Municipality - For the purposes of this plan, the terms
" municipality" or " municipal government" are defined as referring, singularly or collectively, to cities, boroughs, townships and incorporated towns within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
- 12. Notify - To inform or report the occurrence of an incident.
- 13. Parent County - The county in which the facility is physically located.
A
- 14. Potassium Iodide (chemical symbol XI) - A drug that offers some protection to the thyroid gland from injury due to accumulation of radiciodine.
- 15. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. Some of the basic actions are:
- a. Sheltering - Actic" taken by the public to take advantage of the proturtion against radiation exposure afforded by remaining ines, away from doors and windows, and shutting off all trurces of outside air during and following the passage of the radioactive plume. Motorists should close all windows and vents.
- b. General Evacuation - The relocation of the entire i population from to plume exposure pathway EPZ.
- c. Selective Evacuation - The relocation of specific elements of the population, such as pregnant women, pre-school children or the infirm.
- 16. Protective Action Guide (PAG) - A pre-established projected radiation dose to individuals which warrants protective action. !
l 4 Draft 7 i
- 17. Pro,iected Radiation Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
- 18. RACES or ARES - Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service or Amateur Radio Emergency Service. Licensed amateur radio operators who are trained and volunteer to provide back-up radio communica-tions as requested by state and county emergency management agencies.
- 19. REACT - Radio Emergency Action Citizens Team. Licensed citizens band radio operators affiliated with county emergency management agencies.
- 20. Recall - The RECALL system is a computer based telephone notification system developed specifically for emergency management applications.
Within the application for the Limerick radiological emergency response plans (RERP), the system is located at the County Office of Emergency Management and is programmed with the telephone numbers and message (s) of the key individuals, institutions and special facilities which require notification during the implementation of the RERP. The system is activated by the county and it sequentially and simultaneously contacts the parties by telephone, provides a pre-recorded message and awaits an acknowledgement code. The system then provides a management report to indicate the calls which have been made, the status (no answer, answer, busy, etc.) and other information. If the called party does not furnish the acknowledgement code, the system will continue to call the party until the code is received or another parameter is reached. Busy lines will be re-tried and alternate numbers used for after hours or in the event a contact cannot be made at the primary number due to busy, no-answer, or failure to acknowledge.
- 21. Reception Center - A predesignated site outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ through which evacuees will pass to obtain information and directions to Mass Care Centers.
- 22. Risk County - A county with area located partially or wholly within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility.
- 23. Risk Municipality - A municipality with area located partially or wholly within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility.
- 24. Route Alerting - As a supplmentary alert / notification procedure, route alerting will be conducted as necessary each time the public alert system is activated. Route alerting is 5 Draft 7
a municipal responsibility and is to be accomplished by pre-designated route alert teams travelling along pre-assigned routes delivering the following message: "There is an emergency at the Limerick Generating Station; please tune to your Emergency Broadcast Station."
- 25. Standby Status - The term used to describe state of readiness. Standard operating procedures have been reviewed; material, comunications and required supplies ars available and adequate for initial operat h s; and sufficient personnel are on hand to commence oper6L1ons. Augmentation personnel necessary for sustained operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called.
- 26. State of Disaster Emergency - A state of disaster emergency exists whenever the Governor issues a declaration of disaster emergency. A disaster emergency shall be declared by executive order or proclamation of the Governor at any time upon finding that a disaster has occurred or that the occurrence or the threat of a disaster is imminent. The state of disaster emergency continues until the Governor finds that the threat or danger has passed and terminates it by executive order or proclamation, but no state of disaster emergency may continue for longer than 90 days unless renewed by the Governor. The term " state of disaster emergency" is not to be confused with the emergency classification terms called Site Emergency and General Emergency.
- 27. 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. Depending on size and location, the same county may be both a risk and support county.
- 28. Traffic Control Points (TCP) - Police traffic control established at critical road intersections for the purpose of controlling or limiting traffic.
- 29. Unmet Needs - Capabilities and/or resources required to support emergency operations but neither available nor provided at the respective levels of government.
F. Objectives ;
- 1. Define responsibilities, clarify lines of authority, and establish lines of communication.
- 2. Ensure that planned actions are current and in consonance with those of surrounding jurisdictions, as well as with the Chester County RERP.
6 Draft 7
-3. Identify personnel, resource, and facility requirements necessary for the safe and efficient execution of the Plan.
- 4. Provide a basis for' functional implementing procedures.
- 5. Ensure that the population of the Borough of Spring City is informed as to the basic concepts of the Plan and their possible protective actions.

II. BASIC PLAN A. General Because a variety of local government jurisdictions are found within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station (reference Attachment A), all of which might be expected to implement their respective RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the public can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance with those of surrounding jurisdictions, as well as with the Chester County RERP. Accordingly, the Borough of Spring City RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with other plans without risk of conflict. ; B. Municipal Government Emergency Operations
- 1. Municipal Government - Emergency Organization Structure ;
- a. See Emergency Organization Chart (reference AttachmentB)
- 2. Responsibilities
- a. Provide an emergency operations center (E0C) with a qualified person (emergency management coordinator) to coordinate the center.
- b. Develop radiological emergency response plans in consonance with the county plan.
- c. Supplement the public alert system to alert the population within the municipality who may not have received the initial alert.
- d. Provide for municipal security to include security of the area if evacuation has occurred.
- e. Provide for fire and rescue protection to include continued fire protection if the area has been evacuated.
- f. In the event of a general emergency classification, ensure that municipal traffic control points are manned in preparation for evacuation,
- g. Provide training for all volunteers operating in the emergency management agency of the municipality.

Radiological Exposure Control If it is determined that a potential radiation hazard exists from an incident at the Limerick Generating Station, steps must be taken to protect both the public and emergency workers. Procedures for radiological exposure control are addressed in Annex M of the County RERP. Borough actions relevant to radiological exposure control follow: 8 18 Draft 7
- 1. Borough Emergency Workers
- a. .When advised by the Chester County DES that a Site Emergency has been declared, municipal emergency workers
, will be issued dosimeters and potassium iodide (KI), a radioprotective drug. A unit of dosimetry-KI contains the following:
^* one (1) CD V 730 or DCA-622 self-reading dosimeter having a scale of 0 to 20R.
- one (1) CD V 742 self-reading dosimeter having a scale of 0 to 200R.
- one (1) thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) which is a machine-read crystalline dosimeter mounted in a card.
- one (1) Dosimetry-KI Report Form (reference Attachment K).
- one (1) bottle containing a fourteen day supply of potassium iodide (KI) tablets.
- b. PEMA will supply, when available, the County DES with enough dosimeters and KI for designated emergency workers within its portion of the plume exposure pathway EPZ. These resources will be predistributed to the Borough. Attachment M lists emergency worker dosimetry-KI resource requirements.
- c. Distribution of the dosimeters and KI is as follows:
(1) Upon notification of an Alert (or any higher classification of emergency should it be initial notification), the_ equipment will be prepared for distribution to municipal emergency workers. (2) Upon notification of a Site Emergency, dosimeters and KI will be distributed to borough emergency : response organizations identified in Attachment M. , A' signed receipt shall be obtained from each organization (reference Attachment L). Emergency ' organizations will maintain property control by having each worker sign for the property (reference AttachmentN). - (3) Emergency workers will take KI only upon the I direction of the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, notification of which will be ! received through emergency management channels. l l 1 l 19 Draft 7
- d. Dosimetry Reading Procedures and Related Actions (1) Dosimeters are to be worn in the pocket of an outer garment from the time of issue until the worker is dismissed from duty. 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) Each emergency worker is responsible for completing the Dosimetry /KI Report Form (reference Attachment K) and for reading the self-reading dosimeters at least once every thirty minutes. The protective action guide for whole body exposure is 25 rem. Therefore an emergency worker should seek to be relieved or complete the assigned task and then evacuate to an emergency worker decontamination station before receiving 25 R. (3) Life Saving Missions - If a life saving mission should become necessary, the Spring City Borough elected official in charge may, under conditions shown below, authorize volunteer emergency workers to exceed the established 25 rem whole body limit. In no instance, however, should the emergency worker be. authorized to exceed an absolute upper limit of 75 rems. This authorization may be given in advance to avoid the possibility of delay in performing life saving missions. When authorizing volunteer emergency workers to exceed the 25 Yem limit, the elected officials should ensure that the following conditions are met: (a) It is a life saving situation and alternative courses of action cannot be taken to accomplish the mission. (b) The emergency workers are healthy adult male volunteers, preferably over 45 years of age. (c) The emergency workers selected are persons , whose normal duties might involve such i missions, e.g., policemen and firemen with suitable protective clothing and respiratory equipment. (d) The mission will be accomplished in the least amount of " stay time." l (e) The emergency workers are knowledgeable of and I accept the increased risk in exceeding the 25 l rem limit. 20 Draft 7

pr-I. INTRODUCTION A. Purpose The following radiological emergency response plan is designed to prepare Pottstown Memorial Medical Center personnel and facilities to respond to emergencies or potential emergency situations occurring as a result of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. The objective of this plan is to identify each necessary function, determine who will handle it, assign authority within that function, and illustrate how that function will relate to others. This radiological emergency response plan is a working document, action-oriented and designed as a guide for the time of stress. It is intended to be flexible and quickly adaptable to produce a safe enviromnent for both patients and staff, while establishing an environment which will aid the medical staff in continued care and efficient patient management. This docunent is intended to conform to all applicable federal, state, county and municipal response plans and accrediting /licersing agency regulations for the care and safety of patients and staff during a radiological emergency. Orientation of new personnel should include issuance of appropriate sections of this plan and its accompanying Implementing Procedures, as well as instruction in the duties assigned therein. B. Authority Tha authority for the preparation of this plan is provided by P.L. 1332, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Services Act of 1978. C. References

D. Definitions The following definitions refer to terms .nentioned within the text of this plan or commonly used in reference to nuclear generating facilities.
- 1. Dosimeter - Device for measuring and recording exposure to radioactive emanations.
- 2. Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Announcements - Official announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from the County Commissioners' designated official representative to the residents of their County. Announcements are made over the legally designated alerting and warning (EBS) network.
- 3. Dnergency llanagement - 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 attack, man-made or natural sources.
- 4. Energency Planning Zone (EPZ) - A generic area defined about a nuclear facility to facilitate off-site emergency planning and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plune and ingestion exposure pathways.
- 5. Emergency Headquarters - A specific location within the medical center complex designated for use by the Energency Management Team to direct operations in the event of an emergency condition.
- 6. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident (hereinafter " incident") - An incident is an event or condition at a fixed nuclear facility which could result in a negative impact on public health and sa fety. Four (4) incident classifications have been identified; from the least serious to the most serious they are: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Emergency and General Emergency. (Note:
Site or General Energency classifications are not to be confused ! with a " Declaration lof Disaster Emergency" made by the Governor. Descriptions of the four incident classifications are as follows: ;
- a. Unusual Event - Events are in process or have occurred which '
indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of I the plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systeins occurs.
- b. Alert - Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the le, vel I 2 Rev. O i
f 0 of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels, c.- Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near site boundary,
- d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degrada-tion or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels off-site for more than the immediate site area.
- 7. Host Facility - A hospital or other facility located outside the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ with which a formal written agreement has been made for the hosting of evacuated patients.
- 8. Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ - The area surrounding a fixed ,
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: (a) whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials, and (b) 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 plume exposure pathway EPZ for the Limerick Generating Station was determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demography, topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.)
- 9. Protective Action Guide (PAG) - Projected dose to individuals in the general population which warrants protective action.
- 10. Protective Actions - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. (Sometimes referred to as ,
p otective measures.)
- 11. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective dCtions are not taken.
- 12. Public Infonnation Statements - Public announcements made by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency or county officials via newspaper, radio or television to explain government actions being taken to protect the public in event of any public emergency. The purpose of the announcement is to provide accurate information, prevent panic and counteract misinforma-tion and rumors. Reference to the emergency situation itself 3 Rev. O
,r-will be made only in the context of the reasons for governmental; actions, and not to provide detailed information about the situation.
- 13. RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services) - Licensed volunteer radio amateur (HAM) communication personnel, equipped and affiliated witht the County Office of Emergency Preparedness. RACES personnel are assigned as a backup means of communication with the County E0C in an emergency.
- 14. Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) - Detailed incident response plans developed by the State and its agencies, county and municipal emergency management agencies, and special facil-ities in coordination with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management' Agency and the fixed nuclear facilities.
- 15. Radioprotective Drugs - A medication (generally Potassium Iodide) which blocks the absorption of radioactive Iodine-131 by the thyroid gland, which will be issued to individuals required to stay within the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ.
- 16. Sheltering - Action by the public to take advantage of the protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radioactive plume.
- 17. State of Disaster Emergency - A state of disaster emergency exists whenever the Governor issues a declaration of disaster emergency. A disaster emergency shall be declared by executive order or proclamation of the Governor at any time upon finding that a disaster has occurred or that the occurrence or the threat of a disester is imminent. The state of disaster emer-gency continues until the Governor finds that the threat of danger has passed and terminates it by executive order or proclamation, but no state of disaster emergency maj continue for longer than 90 days unless renewed by the Governor. The term " state of oisaster emergency" is not to be confused with the incident classifications Site Bnergency and General Emergency.
- 18. Transportation Resources - liodes of transportation for evacuat ,
ing hospital patients generally includes ambulances, buses, trucks and helicopters.
- 19. Unmet Needs - Capabilities and/or resources required to support; emergency operations neither available nor provided for at the respective-levels of emergency response.

Enclosed please find copies of change pages to the Downingtown Area School District RERP and a summary of the November 20, 1984 exercise.

The school district has taken the time to determine if school personnel will volunteer for emergency duty in the event of such a need. The attachments provided show the results. Basically, here is a summary: Volunteer (staff / student) Students Staff Ratio Pickering Valley Elementary 230 19 1:12 Downingtown Area High School 130 68 1:2 Lionville J.H.S. 230 15 1:15 Lionville Elementary 65 5 1:13 655 107 If the conservative ratio of 1:20 is used as the suggested ratio, then 33 staff would be required to supervise the 655 students. This would make 74 volunteer staff potentially available for other possible assignments if needed. This could possibly lead to a professional resource pool. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sincerely, Jl , 7%gC,/= _, Henry C. Tamanini HCT/dlt DT23851 Enclosure cc: J. Cunnington Corporcte Omce: 1370 Washington Pike . Bridgeville.

Dear Parent:
The Downingtown Area School District has developed plans to protect students in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.- These plans have been developed in accordance with state and federal guidelines and are in consonance with county and municipal plans. Normally school will be closed in the event of an incident; however, plans have been developed to address any situations while school may be in session. To make the plans effective, Downingtown Area School District needs your cooperation and approval. Our records indicate that your children are attending the Downingtown Area Schools, and that you reside in an area designated as the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) of the Limerick Generating Station. (The Emergency Planning Zone is the entire area of approximately a 10 mile radius of the station). The area is listed as an area which may need to be evacuated in the event.of an emergency at the Generating Station. In order to protect your children in the event of an emergency while school is in session, the School District plan will permit your children to remain at the school they attend until a parent, guardian or individual with parental permission arrives to pick up the student. The District schools will not dismiss any students into the EPZ area in the event of an emergency. Students living in the EPZ and attending any of the District Schools will remain under the supervision of District staff / personnel until reunited with parents or authorized individuals. Students of the who reside in the EPZ will be retained during an emergency, if school is in session, to await pick up be parents, etc. During the emergency, you should listen to your local Emergency Broadcast System for up-to-date information. AVOID USING TELEPHONES AND DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL. (WCAU 1210 AM). If a shelter advisory has been made for the area where you live or for the area you will drive through to arrive at the school, wait until the shelter advisory is lifted. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMAIN INDOORS DURING A SHELTER ADVISORY. Do not panic, your children are in good hands. Drive carefully to the school to pick up your children. Thank you for your cooperation. After you have read and understand this information, please complete and sign the attached form and return it to the - school. Sincerely, Name Title A4-1 Rev. O January 23, 1935

Dear Dr. Murray:
In keeping with our discussion of the last meeting of the Phoenixville Area School District Radiological Emergency Response Plan Committee (RERPC), I have made the requested changes. In order to facilitate the change / revision process and hopefully be aware of the conservation efforts, I have made change pages rather than complete new drafts. The plans have provisions for making the adjustments in this manner by use of the " Record of Change" page (i) in the document. I have also duplicated copies of the Conestoga High School and T-E Junior High floor plans for ease of visualization. Addi tionally , I wish to inform you that it was extremely helpful to have Dr. Morgan, Mr. Moore and Mr. Leahey visit the T-E buildings for the purpose of determining the location of relocated classes in the event that the RERP would require implementation.

Since -the draft plans c ' the prhate and parechial schecis indicate that tney w:11 ce n:::f:ed by either the s:heci district er the Chester Ccunty De;: art e : cf E ergency Services.

- 4. Emergency Broadcast System (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 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 specified in law; first priority to the federal 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 infonnation statements.
- 5. Emergency Management - The judicious planning, assignment and coordination of all available resources in an integrated program of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery for emerger.cles of any kind, whether from enemy attack, man-made or natural sources. (May be termed Emergency Preparedness.)
- 6. Emergency 0::erations Center (EOC) - A facility used by state, county or municipal governments from which to direct operations in the event of an emergency.
- 7. Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) - A generic area defined about a nuclear f acility to facilitate of fsite 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 material emanating from the facility. Such potential exposure could involve: (1) whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials, and (2) inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive pl ume . 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 nelear facility in Pennsylvania were detennined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demography, topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.
2 Ora f t 4 _s
- b. Ingestion Exposure Pathway - That area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which, as a result of a release of radioactive material, is a potential source of exposure through the ingestion of water and foods, such as milk or fresh vegetables originating there. This EPZ consists of a circular area of 50 miles radius around the fixed nuclear facility.
- 8. Host School / Facility - Predetermined schools / facilities 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.
- 9. Incident - An event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four emergency incident levels have been developed to facilitate planning for response to ' nuclear incidents:
- a. Unusual Events - 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 further 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 fdCllity functions needed for the protection of the pubile. 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 melting with 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 - Those roadways identified in state and risk county plans as the principal routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation. Traf fic control points will be manned by the Pennsylvania State Police to expedite traffic movement.

e ATTACH!!ENT 4 THE HILL SCHOOL
Dear Parent:
. The Hill School has developed plans to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station (a nuclear power station owned by Philadelphia Electric Company). Normally, classes will be suspended and/or school closed before any protective actions are necessary.
When sheltering or evacuation are necessary, The Hill School has plans for accomplishing any required protective actions. To make the plans effective, we need your cooperation. In the event of a nuclear incident at the Limerick Generating Station
. that would require the protective evacuation of The Hill School, students will be safely bussed directly to a host school facility / mass care center. The host school for our School is Catasauqua High School located in the Borough of Catasaugua approxinately 2 miles in! of Bethelem, PA. Parents or legal guardians of commutirc students will be requested to pick up their children at the host school building, Directions to the host school building follow:
Parents of resident students should be assured that The Hill School staff will care for resident students' needs during the entire evacuation process - until students are returned to The Hill School and classes are resumed. Residen* students and any remaining commuting students (awaiting pick-up) will be cared for at this designated mass care center. Students will be provided shelter and food, awaiting return to our school campus. The Red Cross operates the mass care center and our staf f will remain with the students. If you want information regarding your son, call our temporary headquarters, located at Catasaugua Area Senior High School, using the following telephone number / - . This mass care center is convenient to Allentown, Bethlehem Easton Airport. The Hill School is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents / guardians be reunited with commuting students as quickly and conveniently as
- possible. The Hill School requests that parents / guardians of commuting students refrain from trying to pick-up students at the school campus when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent. It is important that school driveways and access roads be kept open for buses. In addition, while pre-paring to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate school census. Therefore, The Hill School staff will accompany students during evacuation, the host school is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public.
l School staf f will remain with studer.ts until all commuting students are i picked-up. It is not neces.sary to rush, drive safely to the host school and your son will be waiting for you under the supervision of school staff. A4-1 Draft 4 L__
The Hill School students will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior written arrangements have been made. Please complete the attached form, designating who can pick-up your son and return the form to The Hill School . If sheltering is recommended, all resident and co:rcuting students will be sheltered in the Hill School gynnasium. Parents of com. mating students should not attempt to pick-up their son during sheltering - as it is vital to remain indoors. If sheltering delays dismissal of commuting students, you will be ' notified by radio or telephone .as during a snow or weather emergency, etc. In order to insure the safety of The Hill School students, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents. Sincerely, Mr. Charles C. Watson Headmaster A4-2 Draf t 4 o e

IV. PURPOSE The overall purpose of this Radiological Emergency Response Plan is to establish policies and procedures for emergency preparedness and response to incidents at the fixed nuclear facility at the Limerick Generating Station. In establishing such policies and procedures the following have been addressed: A. Defining those areas of Chester County that are within the Limerick plume exposure pathway EPZ. B. Identifying authority and assignment of responsibilities for planning, exercises and drills, and response. C. Identifying the relationship between Chester County and the Limerick Generating Station, Federal and State agencies, and municipalities, and the development of lines of communication among them. D. Developing a coordinated system for alerting and infoming the general public. E. Coordinating response plans with other risk and support counties and the Commonwealth. F. Identifying support resources within Chester County. G. Identifying unmet needs of Chester County and the risk municipal-ities of Chester County, and notifying PEMA of unmet needs. V. ASSUMPTIONS A. The existence of the fixed nuclear facility at the Limerick Generat-ing Station provides the potential for hazard to the citizens of that area of Chester County located within the plume exposure . pathway EPZ. B. Protective actions to be taken by residents of the plume exposure pathway EPZ could include sheltering or evacuation. C. The amount of lead time available will affect the protective actions recommended. 7 Draft 10
D. In event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station, many of the residents of the plume exposure pathway EPZ will choose to evacuate spontaneously without official order or recommendation. Many will leave the plume exposure pathway EPZ by way of routes not designated as main evacuation routes. E. In event of an evacuation, at least 50% of the population at risk will relocate independently to private homes or hotel / motel facilities. For planning purposes, mass care resources will be identified for 50% of the risk population. . F. In event of an evacuation, the primary means of transportation for ., the general public will be personal automobiles, averaging three persons per vehicle. Primary means of transportation for school children when school is in session will be school buses. G. Chester County's essential unmet needs will be met by State resources. Where possible, these needs will be identified in advance and appropriate responses planned.
.VI. RESPONSIBILITIES A. Chester County - General The overall responsibility for decision-making within Chester County in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station rests with the Chester County Commissioners; however, in Pennsylvania the authority to enforce an evacuation rests only with the Governor.
The Chester County Commissioners can issue an evacuation advisory. The Chester County Commissioners have appointed a Director of Emergency Services to be responsible for the development and implementation of emergency response plans, as well as all emergency situations within the county. The Director is responsible for ensuring that this plan is reasonable and consistent with the Common-wealth's Disaster Operation Plan (Annex E) and is consistent with and supported by municipal Radiological Emergency Response Plans for each Chester County municipality located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ. The Director reviews mrj updates this plan on an annual basis and certifies the review 'to PEMA. B.

The Limerick Generating Station is a fixed nuclear generating facility operated by the Philadelphia Electric Company in Limerick Township, Montgomery County. An incident at the Limerick Generating Station could result in a radiological release affecting the area surrounding the facility. Portions of Chester County are included within the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station. An incident at Limerick may require some type of protective response. Protective responses may include sheltering, evacuation, the administration of thyroid blocking _ drugs to emergency workers, or some combination thereof. Protective measures may also be required for the protection of agricultural, food and dairy products within the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ. Elected officials at each level of government are charged in the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Services Act (P.L. 1332) with the responsibility of protecting the health, safety and well-being of persons within their jurisdiction. Municipalities located (in whole or in part) within the Limerick Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ in Chester County include: Municipality Risk Population j Charlestown Township 2770 1.

VIII. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. Geverning Principle The governing principle of this plan is that the persons and
- governments within the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station will take protective responses in the event of a 19 Draft 10 Rev. 1/85 u
nuclear incident.

ANNEX A DIRECTION AND CONTROL I. PURPOSE To identify the means for decision-making and coordination of Chester County's response to an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. II. RESPONSIBILITY _ A. The Chester County Commissioners have the responsibility for the safety and protection of the public within Chester County. The Chester County Director of Emergency Services reports to the County Commissioners, as do all county departments and agencies. B. The Chester County Director of Emergency Services is administratively responsible for the operations of the Chester County Communications Center, which, with some exceptions, provides 24 hour central dispatch and communications for fire, police and emergency medical services in the County. In the cases where the county communications center does not dispatch specific services, telecommunication capability exists with those services. C. Overall direction and control of emergency operations will be coordinated from the Chester County Emergency Operations Center (E0C) located in the Hazlett Building, 14 E. Biddle St., West Chester, PA. The Center is organized, equipped and staffed, when augmented by mobilized emergency personnel, to maintain 24-hour operations. The Director, Chester County Department of Emergency Services is responsible for ensuring that the E0C is at all times capable of being operated on a protracted 24-hour basis. D. The Hazlett building is also the location of the Communications Center, which is responsible for staffing DES administrative telephones and the dedicated telephone line from the Limerick Generating Station as well as all county telecommunications networks and emergency telephones. Maintenance and operation of the automatic computer assisted telephone notification system (RECALL), and of the public alert siren system, is also
- a responsibility of the Communications Center pursuant to applicable procedures and direction. Upon E0C activation, the Communications Center functions as part of the E0C Communications Group.
i f A-1 Draft 10 Rev. 1/85 L
r III. CONCEPT OF OPERATION A. Notification of an incident at the Limerick Power Station will be received and recorded as outlined in Annexes B and C by the Communications Center. B. The Communications Center will notify the DES Duty Officer, who is a DES staff member assigned and available on a 24-hour basis, as well as the DES Director. C. The Communications Center will initiate notification of key operations personnel and E0C staff upon direction and by ._ incident level specific procedures using the RECALL system and radio links. In the event of system failure, radio alerting and manual telephone based on lists updated quarterly will be
, utilized.
D. The E0C will be activated selectively or completely depending on the incident level. As E0C Group Chiefs and Officers activate, the Communication Center will provide updated printouts /sumaries and formal coordination will evolve to specific E0C staff in the E0C. E. All E0C staff groups and officers will function according to formal Implementing Procedures developed in support of this plan. F. County government technical, administrative, and resource support will be provided by DES staff and Commissioners staff. G. The Commissioners Staff personnel listed in A.ppendix 1 may not be present in the E0C on a regular basis, but are available to provide assistance and advice as necessary to DES /EOC staff. The Commissioners staff group includes the Manager of Finance, the Personnel Manager, the Purchasing Agent, the Director of Economic Development, and their respective staffs. H. The response to any disaster, whether a major flood or an incident at a Nuclear Power Plant, has certain common elements. One of the most important elements is the need for resources to facilitate proper response. These resources may be additional personnel, consumables, services or guidance. In addition, there may be a need to purchase materials or equipment or obtain these on loan. If the Commissioners declare a Disaster Emergency for the County the provisions of the Emergency Management Services Act allow the use of procedures which are - ' outside normal channels. For example, purchases which normally require bids do not have to be bid in an emergency. I. Inter-relationship with state and federal governments, local municipalities, and other involved organizations have been defined in this plan and in applicable supporting Standard Operating Procedures and Implementing Procedures.

The Director of the Chester County Department of Emergency Services in consulta-tion with Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency is responsible for the activation of the public alert and emergency broadcast systems. Municipal emergency management directors are responsible for verifying that route alerting, as a supplementary alert ! procedure, is conducted where necessary. B. The Philadelphia Electric Company is responsible for installing and maintaining a public alert siren system throughout the plume exposure pathway EPZ. III. PUBLIC ALERT / NOTIFICATION SYSTEM The primary Chester County public alert system for the Limerick Generating Station consists of 67 high output radio controlled electro-mechanical sirens strategically situated throughout the Chester County portion of the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone. These sirens, which are remotely controlled by the County Department of Emergency Services, are the audible signal for the public to tune to the i local Emergency Broadcast System station (WCAU 1210 AM or WC0J,1420 AM) for information. The siren system is an attention getting signal. It is not an evacuation alarm. The public alert system will be activated whenever there is a need to inform the public of any significant change of plant status or when the public must be informed of a protective action. Any activation of the - system will be ccordinated with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management i Agency (PEMA). Each siren site is a separate and' distinct address; i therefore, it is possible to activate one or all of the sirens in the , county. To activate all of the sirens within the EPZ, the three risk counties will coordinate their activation. This coordination will be arranged through the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency. C-1 Draft 10
Each siren is equipped to provide the capability of sounding the steady three to five minute " Alert" signal (this will be the tone used for the Limerick Public Alert) and the rising / falling wail or " Attack" signal. For testing purposes, " growl" and " silent" tests are available. The activation control point for this system is located within the Chester County communications center which is staffed and operational on a 24-hour basis each day of the year. Activation information is passed
-from the county control point to a base station radio via computer-conditioned telephone lines. The base station is located centrally within the EPZ. (Back-up base station is also available.) Siren activation, siren failure,. power failure, etc., is reported for display on the county computer screen, printer and magnetic disk log.
In the event of any system failures, the siren site relays a message to the central control point of the specific county. The failure will be displayed on the video terminal and printed in hard copy by the printer. Chester County will then ensure the dispatch of appropriate route alerting teams. Route alerting has been developed as a supplement to the public alert system and is implemented as necessary in the event of public alert system failure. Route alerting is to be accomplished by alert teams travelling designated routes announcing that there is an emergency at the Limerick Generating Station and that individuals should tune to
- their EBS station. Details of the route alerting system, assignments and routes can be found in Appendix C-6 and Annex E of this plan.
IV. MESSAGE VERIFICATION A. Verification of incident notifications will be made by the Chester County Communications Center via telephone to the source of the notification. B. When incident notifications are received by communications center personnel, they will acknowledge receipt of message and officially log the information on the Incident Notification Form (Appendix C-3). Telephone messages will include the name and identification of the individual calling and a telephone number to which a return telephone call can be made for verification. C. This information will be immediately furnished to appropriate officials and agencies as provided for in Appendix C-2. D. All other emergency personnel should verify notifications / messages in accordance with appropriate agency procedures. - V.

APPENDIX C-1 PUBLIC ALERT SYSTEM I. Public Alert System The Public Alert System of the Limerick Generating Station consists of 166 high output electro-mechanical sirens strategically situated throughout the approximate ten-mile emergency planning zone. These sirens, which are remotely controlled by the County Emergency Management Agencies, are the audible signal for the public to tune to the local ._ Emergency Broadcast system station for information. The siren system is an attention getting signal. It is not an evacuation alarm. The Public Alert System will be activated whenever there is a need to inform the public of any significant change of plant status or when the public must be informed of any emergency situation. Any activation of the system will be coordinated by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA). Since the Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone includes three counties (Berks, Chester and Montgomery), the Public Alert System is divided into three distinct sectors. These sectors correspond to the three county areas of the EPZ. k The Public Alert System consists of the 166 individual sirens (Federal Thunderbolt Model 1000) distributed throughout the EPZ within three sectors attributed to county jurisdiction. Within each sector, each siren site is a separate and distinct address. Therefore, it is possible to activate one or all of the sirens in a county. To activate all 166 sirens within the EPZ, the three counties will coordinate activation. This three segment coordination is a requirement of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency. The selectivity of sites is obtained by the use of an interactive (two-way) digitally coded status and control unit for each siren. This type of control unit uses a 32-piece or " bit" word to command a response. Each of the three counties have a Central Station which sends the digital command word or words to the siren sites of that county. The siren site (s) receive the digital signal, verify the data and then react accordingly. Additionally, upon receipt of the command or when
" interrogated" by the central control station, the site responds with status data to indicate an acknowledgement of the command, report siren activation or malfunction and any power failure. .
Siren Signals Each siren is equipped to provide the capability of sounding the steady
.three to five minute " Alert" signal (this will be the tone used for the Limerick Public Alert) and the rising / falling wail or " Attack" signal.
For testing purposes, " growl" and " silent" tests are available. C-1-1 Draft 10
System Configuration As previously indicated, the Limerick EPZ is composed of three counties (Berks, Chester, Montgomery), each having a central control point for activating and interrogating the-sirens of its own county. Activation information is passed from the county central control point to a VHF-FM digital base station radio via computer-conditiuned telephone lines. The base station is located centrally witnin the EPZ. A second "back-up" base station is also available. The three counties share the single base station; however, due to the short duration needed to send the activation signal (2 seconds per county), a conflict or delay is not anticipated. Each of the siren-remote controllers transmits a digital ._ signal to the base station to be interpreted by the central control point for status information. Siren activation, failure, power failure, etc., are reported for display on the county computer screen, printer and magnetic disk log. In the event of any system failures, the siren site will relay a message to the central control point of the specific county. The failure will be displayed on the video terminal and printed in hard copy by the printer. The county then will ensure the dispatch of supplemental route alert teams (reference Appendix C-6). II. Public Notification System , A. Definition and Authority: The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) exists to furnish an expedited means of furnishing real time communications to the public in the event of war, threat of war, or grave national, regional or local crisis. An emergency system such as EBS is authorized by Sections 1, 4(i) and (o), and 303 (r) of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended. This is also in consonance with the Philadelphia Extended Operational Area Emergency Communications Committee and the Pennsylvania Emergency Communications Comittee. B. Purpose The purpose of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) is to provide real time communication, information, direction and instruction in the event of any emergency requiring public action including an emergency at the Limerick Generating Station. The Emergency Broadcast System will be activated to provide specfic information to the public following activation of the Public Alert System of the Limerick Generating Station. . C. Activation At the request of designated Local, State or Federal officials, the Emergency Broadcast System may be activated. Appropriate authentica-tion will be required. The designated officials will use the following format when contacting the EBS station: "This is [NAME/ C-1-2 Draft 10
TITLE] of Chester County. I request that the emergency broadcast system be activated for Chester County due to an emergency at the Limerick Generating Station."
" Authentication Code .
Upon verification of authentication code, the EBS station personnel, in conjunction with the designated official, will determine broadcast details such as the use of live or recorded messages, the time of broadcast and the like. D. Broadcast . Upon verification of authentication and a determination to utilize live or recorded material, the EBS station may:
- 1. Broadcast the following announcements:
"We interrupt this program due to an emergency affecting Chester County. Important information will follow."
- 2. Transmit the Emergency Broadcast System Two Tone Attention Signal for 20-25 seconds.
- 3. Broadcast the following announcement and broadcast the emergency j material:
'"We interrupt this program to activate the Emergency Broadcast System for Chester County because of an emergency at the Limerick Generating Station. Important information will follow."
-- EBS Message #1
-- EBS Message #2 (reference EBS messages
-- EBS Message #3 in Annex D)
-- EBS Message #4 etc.
E. Termination Upon receipt of the termination notice from the activating of.'icial, make the following announcement:
"This concludes operations under the Chester County Emergency Broadcast System."
C-1-3 Draft 10
APPENDIX C-2 CHESTER COUNTY NOTIFICATION SE0VENCE Upon receipt of notification of an incident at the plant, the County Communications Center will verify the notification if it is not received via the dedicated telephone line. The Communications Center will activate notifications as directed by the DES Duty Officer (assigned on a twenty-four hou- basis) or the DES Director, using the RECALL system. . As E0C staff ar:ive at the E0C, they will be provided with RECALL printout indicating notifications accomplished, and will initiate remaining notifications and verify notifications for their respective areas pursuant to appropriate implementing procedures. In rapidly developing situations requiring expeditious public alert, the Communications Center can, on direction of the DES duty officer or Director, activate the EBS network and appropriate sirens, simulta-neously with the initiation of the RECALL notification sequence. In all other cases, the DES PIO will assume responsibility for EBS activation under direction of the DES. Director through the Communications Center, and for coordination of public alert. The Communications Group assumes responsibility for all other notification and for coordinating verification actions. See Appendix B-1 for the DES priority call list. C-2-1 Draft 10 Rev. 1/85

All other Chaster County municipalities within the plume exposure pathway EPZ have elected to provide door-to-door pick-up of residents without transportation. Due to their more rural location, door-to-door pick-up is considered more feasible and effective than establishing designated pick-up points. I-5-1 Draft 10 Rev. 1/85
ANNEX J EVACUATION I. PURPOSE To establish policies and procedures for a selective or general evacu-ation of the population within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station in the event of an incident at the facility. II. DEFINITIONS . , A. A Selective Evacuation includes persons within a specified cate-gory, i.e., pregnant women, preschool children and individuals judged by medical authoritics to be unduly susceptible to the hazards of radiation. B. A General Evacuation would involve the movement of the entire population from the plume exposure pathway EPZ, and is a worst-case situation. III. RESPONSIBILITY A. The responsibility for evacuation rests with the Chester County Commissioners and elected municipal officials upon an evacuation order from the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The County Commissioners may recommend an evacuation, but they cannot compel it.
-B. The Chester County Director of Emergency Services will coordinate all evacuation procedures supported by State, county and municipal forces.

See Appendix 3 for a graphic representation of population by sector within 10 miles of the Limerick Generating Station. V. ASSUMPTIONS A. A Selective Evacuation would not be implemented until a Site or General Emergency has been reached. A general evacuation would not be implemented until a General Emergency condition has been reached. B. At least 50% of the population in the plume exposure pathway EPZ will make independent arrangements for relocation if evacuation becomes necessary. C. Any evacuation carried out under the provisions of this Plan will be based on a 360 plume exposure pathway EPZ, not on a sector basis. VI. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS Actions taken to implement a selective or general evacuation of the plume exposure pathway EPZ are contained in Section VIII D, " Concept of Operations," of the Chester County Plan. They are accomplished by the combined and coordinated efforts of the county and municipal E0C staffs, who in turn, are supported by State agencies as coordinated by PEMA. Federal assistance, if required, is requested through PEMA. APPENDICES:

APPENDIX 2 ANNEX J EVACUATION TIME ESTIMATES A traffic analysis conducted by the Pennsylvania Department of Transpor-tation for the plume EPZ indicates the following:
- 1. For the muncipalities (or portions thereof) of North Coventry, East Coventry, South Coventry, Warwick and East Nantmeal evacuating via .
Route 23 West, it would take an estimated 3586 vehicles four hours to leave the EPZ. II. For the municipalities (or portions thereof) of East Vincent, Spring City, East Pikeland, and West Pikeland evacuating via Route 113 South, it would take an estimated 4666 vehicles five hours to leave the EPZ.

APPENDIX 4 ANNEX L ACTIVATION OF MASS CARE CENTERS
- 1. ACTIVATION ORDER The order to activate one or more mass care centers is issued by the -
County Director of Emergency Services or his designee in his absence. Once the order to activate.is issued, the Mass Care Officer or desig- "~ nated alternate is notified, who in turn notifies the appropriate Mass Care Center Managers. II. ACTIONS OF MASS CARE CENTER MANAGERS A. Acknowledge receipt and make a written record of the information received, including date and time. B. Issue, directly or with assistance from other immediately avail-able personnel, specific mobilization instructions to mass care center staff members assigned to the first shift and directly concerned with mass care center operations. (The call out of staff shall be conducted in accordance with Red Cross Standard , Operating Procedures for Mobilization.) C. Issue, directly or with assistance, specific standby instructions for second, and if applicable, third shift mass care center personnel directly concerned with relief operations of the centers. D. Confirm with person in charge of the building the details of the predisaster agreements for operations, and then proceed to open the mass care center. E. Arrange for heating, lighting, cooking, sanitary facilities, water and for substitutes if regular facilities are disrupted. Obtain other supplies and additional equipment as previously planned. F. Request support through the County Mass Care Group Chief for required health, police and transportation services and supplies. G. Incoming mass care center staff will be briefed and assigned responsibilities and commence setting up activities. H. Use telephones when possible between the mass care center and the Emergency Operations Center and within the center itself. If telephones are unavailable, maintain communications via ARES or messenger service. A public address system may be utilized for announcements within the facility if desired. L-4-1 Draft 10
I. Upon arrival, evacuees will have been monitored for radiation exposure when BRP has directed that the situation warrants such and decontaminated if necessary (reference Annex M, Appendix 1). All persons will be registered and family units kept together if at all possible. Upon completion of registration, forward a copy of the registry to the Mass Care Coordinator located at the E0C. J. As each family or individual is registered, they are assigned space. Cots, blankets and chairs are furnished. If quantities are insufficient, then the infirm, aged, expectant mothers, mothers with infants and the handicapped should be given first - consideration. Separate quarters are provided for unmarried men ~- and unmarried women, if possible. K. Establish and enforce fire and safety regulations and arrange for adequate police and guard protection. L. Maintain records of all borrowed and purchased equipment and keep records of all mass care activities. Use this to compile a daily report to be submitted to the Mass Care Coordinator located at the Emergency Operations Center. M. Select an Advisory Council from those being cared for, which will assist the Mass Care Center Manager in enforcing health, sanitary, and safety regulations; assign duties to the center inhabitants and advise the manager and staff in dealing with mass care center i problems. If the center operation is prolonged, it may be desir-able for the Advisory Council to assist in establishing a recre-ation program. N. Provide for janitorial service and the maintenance of essential utilities (e.g., light, heat, water and toilets). O. Post large printed signs designating a place or rooms for men's toilet, women's toilet, registration and inquiry, information, monitoring / decontamination area, clothing and feeding; also, signs for smoking regulations, luggage storerooms, the manager's office and others as required. P. Bathing facilities should be provided for all persons, if possi-ble, but especially for babies and small children. Shower facil-ities should be provided for the monitoring / decontamination process. Q. Feeding must be conducted in a separate room other than the sleeping quarters and space must be provided for a kitchen, dining . room and a storage area or pantry storeroom adjacent to the kitchen. R. A room will be set aside as a clothing distribution point for providing suitable clothing as required, for individuals under-going decontamination. L-4-2 Draft 10
/
S. A Registered Nurse should head the Mass Care Center Aid Station to assist persons requiring special care. If a Registered Nurse is not immediately available, the best-qualified medically trained individual should serve. Medical and nursing supplies should be stored in a location convenient to or within the emergency rcedical station. T. When the amount of supplies warrants it, the Mass Care Center Manager assigns a storekeeper to assist him. Duties are: receiv-ing and checking incoming supplies and equipment, safeguarding supplies and equipment, maintaining an inventory and issuing properly requisitioned supplies-on-hand receipts. Articles stored - for individuals housed within the mass care center will be plainly " marked and stored at the owner's risk. U. Pets are not allowed in the human living area of mass care centers. The Mass Care Center Manager may try to provide for pets in a separate area or enclosure with pet owners required to provide for their care. Guide dogs for the handicapped are not considered to be in this category, and they will remain with their masters in the center. Where applicable, activate agreements made with the Humane Society for sheltering pets. V. After the mass care center has been closed, the manager will take the necessary steps to prepare the center and grounds for return to the owner. The manager will then prepare and submit a final report to the Mass Care Coordinator located at the Emergency
; Operations Center. The report shall be in accordance with esta-blished reporting policies and procedures.
W. Report to the County Mass Care Coordinator, via telephone or ARES, at least once every two hours, the number of: (1) residents (2) persons monitored / decontaminated. Also report any special needs, problems, etc. III. Sp0NTANE0USLY ACTIVATED MASS CARE CENTERS In times of emergency, it is quite possible that a designated mass care center, or even a facility not so designated, might be opened spontan-eously. When that happens, it might be desirable to continue its
- operation. Upon request, the Red Cross may be able to provide a Mass Care Center Manager and assume responsibility from that point on for the management and funding of it. It should be made known to the person (s) responsible for the facility that Red Cross management must be accepted in order for the Red Cross to fund its operation, and any unusual costs incurred before the Red Cross assumes management respon-sibility are not the responsibility of the Red Cross. It is desirable .
to record this understanding in writing if possible, and to include appropriate notations in the log. IV. RECORDS AND FISCAL MATTERS A. Records L-4-3 Draft 10
In addition to daily reports, agreements, supply requisitions and hand receipts for supplies, the following records shall be pre-pared:
- 1. A list of all equipment borrowed from government sources with instructions as to disposition when facilities are closed.
- 2. A list of all other equipment borrowed from private sources and its disposition. When the borrowed equipment is returned to private owners, a signed hand receipt should be obtained.
- 3. A list of all Red Cross-owned supplies and equipment with instructions regarding transfer to another disaster area or to storage.
- 4. Reports of loss or damage to both borrowed equipment and buildings.
- 5. A list of outstanding expenditures for direct purchases of supplies and services.
- 6. A final after-action report to include:
- a. A complete summary of all activities including statis-tics on number housed, fed, given medical care, evacu-ated or received from other counties or states.
i
- b. Names and addresses of all workers, both voluntary and paid.
- c. Overall narrative report to include recommendations, changes in procedures, suggested improvements and repairs required relating to any damages to the facility or losses or damages to equipment.
B. Fiscal Matters When a mass care center is operated by Red Cross Managers, the Red Cross will pay the operational costs of the center (s) as an outright grant. V. USE OF GOVERNMENT DONATED FOOD A. Normally, if mass care centers are located in schools and school cafeterias are used, food supplies on hand are usually sufficient for immediate needs. Procurement of additional food supplies may . be made per agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of Agri-culture and the General Services Bureau of Government Donated Foods. L-4-4 Draft 10

The County DES will provide for: protection of emergency workers via training, distribution of 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 including vehicles and emergency equipment; appropriate medical referrals for further monitoring, decontamination and treatment; maintenance and distribution of dosimetery, chargers,' survey meters, KI in tablet form and related '- record keeping forms to municipalities and decontamination centers; maintenance of a radiological exposure record system; certifi-cation of farmers as emergency workers for access to livestock kept within the plume exposure pathway EPZ; and training of personnel to carry out radiological exposure control plans. B. PennsylvaniaEmergencyManagementAgency(PEMA) The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency: coordinates with BRP, the utility, other state agencies, federal government agen-cies and risk counties for protective actions of the public and emergency workers; provides counties during the emergency periodic situation reports including incident assessment and plume exposure
, information; specifies procedures for decontamination of emergency personnel and their clothing; assists FRMAP (Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Plan) personnel with pertinent logistics information related to the disposal of radiation contaminated waste materials generated from the general public and offsite emergency workers; distributes dosimetry and KI to county emer-gency management agencies and specifies implementation of a comprehensive inventory-maintenance program for those items; collects TLDs and appropriate records from the county after each incident; assists the Department of Health with the distribution of potassium iodide.
C. BureauofRadiationProtection(BRP) The 3ureau of Radiation Protection is the state agency that will conduct the technical tasks of incident assessment and air moni-toring for detection and definition of the radioactive plume. BRP calculates projected radiation doses to the whole body and thyroid and reparts these projections, as well as acutal radiation expo-sure rates and total doses received by affected areas, to 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 l and foodstuffs sam) ling, and reports these findings, as appro-priate, to PEMA, t1e Department of Health and the Department of l Agriculture. BRP collates the state, federal and licensee data 1 .. M-4 Draft 10
F i
, for comprehensive technical analysis and transmits its information to PEMA who, in turn, relays appropriate information through emergency management channels.
D. TLD Service Contractor During an incident and at PEMA's request, the TLD service contrac-tor will conduct mechanical " reading" of the TLDs used by emer-gency workers. The contractor will relay the readings and related information to BRP or PEMA. . E. Municipal Governments , Each municipal government within the plume exposure pathway EPZ will assist the county in issuing dosimetry and KI to emergency workers within its area at the SITE EMERGENCY classification. F. Emergency Workers In addition to the performance of assigned tasks, emergency workers are responsible for utilizing their dosimeters, KI, and Dosimetry-KI Report Form as prescribed (reference Appendix 2, Section IV) and for undergoing decontamination monitoring (refer-ence Appendix 1 Section I.D.). 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 except for authorized life saving missions (reference Appendix 2, Section IV.B.4). Emergency workers should strive to keep any exposure as low as reasonably achievable (referenceAppendix2.SectionIV). G. Decontamination Monitoring Teams Decontamination monitoring teams will monitor (meaning check with aCDV-700surveymeter)membersofthepublicandemergency 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 this Annex. V. RADIATION EXPOSURE CONTROL FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC A. Protective Actions
- 1. The County may receive recommendations for protective action measures from PEMA or the Limerick Generating Station.
M-5 Draft 10
- 2. The two primary protective action options for the general public are Sheltering and Evacuation; the plans for implemen-tation of these are described in Annexes C, D, and J.
B. Decontamination Monitoring The County DES is responsible for providing decontamination monitoring of the public housed at mass care centers located within the county. People evacuated to support counties will receive decontamination monitoring services from the respective support county. Utilizing trained radiation monitors equipped - with survey meters, the public may be monitored for radiation
~
contamination at mass care centers. Appendix 1 to this Annex sets forth the procedures for decontamination monitoring at mass care centers. VI. EMERGENCY WORKER RADIATION EXPOSURE CONTROL Unlike the general public, emergency workers with assignments within the plume exposure pathway EPZ are not always able to take shelter and they cannot evacuate the area due to their mission responsibility. Other protective measures available to emergency workers are enumerated below. A. Dosimetry
- 1. Each emergency worker assigned tasks within the plume expo-sure pathway EPZ will be provided two self-reading dosimeters (one CD V-730 or one DCA-622, and one CD V-742) and one thermoluminesceiitdosimeter(TLD).* The self-reading dosimeters enable the worker to monitor himself during the emergency for total radiation dose received; the TLD is an independently read (by the TLD service contractor) device that is generally considered to be more dependable, accurate and precise than the self-reading dosimeters. Each emergency worker is responsible for following the dosimetry procedures, including record keeping. Appendix 2 to this Annex sets forth guidance and procedures related to dosimetry for emergency workers. Appendix 3 to the Annex is a distribution list which specifies the amounts of dosimetry, dosimeter chargers,bottlesofK!(seepara meters (seeparagraphV.B.above)graphBbelow),andsurvey for each particular emer-gency organization.
l 2. The " Receipt Form for Dosimetry-Survey Meters-KI" (reference Attachment E to Appendix 2) and the " Acknowledgement of . Receipt by Emergency for Dosimetry-KI and Survey Meters" form (referenceAttachmentFtoAppendix2)willbeusedfor inventory control of the equipment and K! distributed to emergency workers.
- Presently ttere are insufficient numbers of dosimeters on hand. PEMA is l
in the process of acquiring the dosimeters needed. M-6 Draf t 10 l i '.
l
- 3. Federal and state government personnel are expected to provide their own dosimetry and thyroid gland radioprotective drugs.
B. Thyroid Gland Protective Drug
- 1. The accumulation of radiofodines (radioactive isotopes of the common element iodine) in the thyroid gland is a potential threat during a nuclear power plant incident. Potassium iodide (KI) is a drug that acts as a blocking agent to -
radiciodine, preventing the radiciodine from lodging in the '" thyroid gland.
- 2. KI tablets are predistributed with dosimetry by PEMA to the County DES, who will distribute it to risk municipalities at the ALERT classification. Individual workers will receive KI at SITE EMERGENCY. Liquid KI is predistributed by PEMA to risk hospitals for use by the hospital staff, medical comple-ment, and the patients.
- 3. KI should be taken only on the advice of the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health. General information for the emergency worker regarding KI and protection of the thyroid gland is included in Appendix 2 to this Annex.
C. Double Clothing (Rain Gear) Protection Emergency workers can use their personal rain gear as a prevention against deposition of contamination on the body and personal clothing / uniform. A rain hat or other head cover such as a helmet or winter hat, boots or galoshes with pant legs tucked in, rain coat or winter coat with the collar turned up, and gloves offer effective protection by minimizing skin and clothing / uniform exposure to contaminants that may be present. Extremes in the weather can make the use of double clothing extremely uncomfor-table; therefore, BRP will issue an appropriate advisory through emergency management channels at the time of an incident if double clothing protection is to be employed. D. Respiratory Protection Should unforeseen circumstances occur whereby emergency workers would be temporarily exposed to a radioactive plume, they should improvise respiratory protective measures if regular respiratory protective gear is not available. BRP will send prompt notice . through emergency management channels if respiratory protective measures for offsite emergency workers are recomended. Impro-vised respiratory protective measures included in BRP's plan are:
- 1. Sheltering in a vehicle or building that can be " buttoned-up" (windows, doors,andairventsclosed).
M-7 Draft 10 O
- 2. Conscientiously covering the mouth and nose with a cloth or filtering device (suggested items include a folded handker-chief, 3 or 4 plys of toilet tissue, or a folded towel).
While these methods may not be fully effective against vapors and gasses, they can be effective temporary protection against radio-active particulates (until the plume passes or the offsite worker evacuates). E. Decontamination Monitoring of Emergency Workers
- 1. Upon completion of his/her mission, each emergency worker ^"
must report to a decontamination monitoring station or mass
~
care center to be monitored (and decontaminated, if neces-sary). Of course, the emergency workers perfonning decon-tamination monitoring at the mass care center will conduct decontamination monitoring for themselves.
- 2. Decontamination Stations for Emergency Workers are:
- a. Elverson Fire Company, Hall Street, Elverson
- b. Lionville Fire Company, Village Avenue, Lionville
- c. Valley Forge Volunteer Fire Company, Valley Park Road, Valley Forge
- 3. Emergency workers may receive the same decontamination monitoring service at mass care / decontamination centers.
- 4. Whether at a decontamination station or mass care / decon-tamination center, the same procedures for decontamination monitoring as specified for the general public apply to emergency workers with the exception of the thyroid check.
Emergency workers should be monitored for accumulation of radiciodine in the thyroid gland (reference Appendix 1, Section II.B). F. Radiological Training, Inventory, Maintenance and Record Keeping With the assistance of PEMA, the County DES will ensure dosimetry training including dosimeter charging, dosimeter reading and recording of information. Equipment and KI inventory and maintenance procedures with appro-priate records are specified in Appendix 4 to this Annex. . Inventory control during the emergency will consist of a trail of accountability from each agency issuing equipment through the individual end user of the equipment and Kl. Forms and procedures for this purpose are included in Appendix 2. i M-8 Draft 10 L
r-VII. PROTECTION FOR INSTITUTIONAL PERSONNEL A. The evacuation time for Phoenixville Hospital (see Appendix 3) is expected to be greater than that for the general population. Consequently, the staff and medical complement of this hospital are considered emergency workers and therefore are provided KI and dosimetry. B. Liquid KI will be distributed by PEMA to all hospitals located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ. Sufficient units for 100% of the patients and 50% of the staff for a fourteen day period are - on hand. The County DES is responsible for notifying the insti- '~ tution when the Secretary of the Department of Health advises the use of KI.
. C. Decontamination ' monitoring of institutional staff and residents can be accomplished by utilizing the institution's own capability and that of the host institution, decontamination stations for emergency workers, or decontamination centers located with mass care / decontamination centers. Decontamination stations will be wholly or partially available within 12 hours after commencement of evacuation and therefore will be available to move to receiving sites for institutional personnel. The County DES will coordinate these arrangements as the situation develops.

APPENDIX 1 ANNEX M DECONTAMINATION MONITORING PROCEDURES
- 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND ORGANIZATION A. Detontamination Monitoring of the Public In the event of a fixed nuclear facility incident, the public and '~
emergency workers m Ja have to be individually monitored to ascer-tain whether the individual is contaminated with a radioactive substance. If a person is found to be contaminated, then he/she must be decontaminated. BRP will issue a statement indicating whether decontamination monitoring is required and PEMA will send this message through emergency management channels. Decontami-nation monitoring teams will be located at mass care centers and will perform decontamination monitoring 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 will, upon arrival at the mass care center and if necessary, be decontaminated and then admitted to the
" general living" portion of the mass care center. Trained decontamination monitoring teams will conduct the monitoring for radiological contamination, carry out decontamination procedures, and complete associated records. This activity, while falling under the overall coordination of the mass care center manager, is not an integral part of that operation.
Decontamination monitoring teams take direction from the county radiological officer. Decontamination monitoring of evacuees should be completed as soon as possible; decontam-ination monitoring of personal belongings (i.e., clothing, personal articles, vehicles) can be accomplished after the evacuees have been processed.
- 2. 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 individuals 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 I 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. l M-1-1 Draft 10 l t
C. Decontamination Monitorino Services for Persons Who Are.Not Housed at Mass Care Centers. Persons who do not intend to stey at a mass care center, but who wish to be monitored will be exter.ded these services at mass care / decontamination centers. The decontamination monitoring proce-dures and record keeping are identical for people who stay or do not stay at mass care centers. Upon direction by BRP that decontamination monitoring is neces-sary, decontaminatien monitoring teams will also be dispatched to host health care facilities. . D. Decontamination Monitoring Station for Emergency Workers
- 1. Upon completion of his/her mission, or as directed by super-visors, each emergency worker must report to a decontami-nation monitoring station or a mass care / decontamination center to be ironitored for radiological contamination and, if necessary, be decontaminated.
- 2. Most emergency workers will be working within the plume exposure pathway EPZ which extends approximately ten miles in a 360' circumference from the nuclear facility. Since the mass care / decontamination centers for the public are generally located 20 or more miles from the nuclear facilities, special !
" decontamination monitoring stations for emergency workers" are established closer to the plume exposure pathway EFZ.
Therefore, emergency workers will not be required to travel the longer distance to mass care / decontamination centers for decontamination monitoring.
- 3. Each mass care center and decontamination monitoring station is to extend its service to any requesting emergency worker, whether federal, state, county, municipal employee or volunteer.
r E. Equipment and Personnel Requirements ,
- 1. The instrument used for decontamination monitoring is the l CD V-700 Geiger-Mueller Survey Meter (range: approximately .
0.0 to 50 mR/h). l
- 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. . t
- 3. Personnel requirements are one trained monitor and one l
l recorder (assistanttothemonitor)foreachsurveymeteras l a minimum. Each decontamination monitor and recorder is ; supplied with dosimetry (CD V-742 and TLD) and K!, j l M-1-2 Draft 10 { l l i
- 4. Inventory, maintenance, and property accountability with regard to dosimetry, survey meters and KI are described in Appendix 4 to this Annex.
F. Decontamination Monitoring Record Keeping Decontaminatin monitoring personnel will be responsible for completing a " Decontamination Monitoring Report Form" (reference Attachment A to this Appendix) for each individual with a reading of 0.05 mR/h (milliroentgens per hour) or more above background, . which is the action level set by BRP indicating that decontami-nation of the individual is necessary. The form will be com- - pleted, signed b monitoring, (2)aftery the monitor first at each of(3) decontamination, the steps after [(1) initial 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 when the individual is sent to a medical facility. The original will be retained by the county in a historical file. Chester County will make these forms available to BRP, if requested. G. Progress Reports on Decontamination Monitoring Decontamination team chiefs should verbally report on the results of monitoring at two hour intervals to their County Radiological Officers. The report shall include the following cumulative data: number of persons monitored; number contaminated; number decontami-nated; 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 County DES is responsible for consolidating this information and reporting it immediately to PEMA who in turn will relay the information to BRP.
!!. PROCEDURES FOR DECONTAMINATION MONITORING TEAMS A. Decontamination Monitoring Procedures Monitors perfonning decontamination monitoring of people should follow these procedures:
- 1. Select a reception location for conducting the moaitoring operation. Precautions must be taken to prevent contami-nation 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 l
control it while monitoring. The headphone responds more . quickly to changes in radiation level than does the meter.
- 3. Check the operability of the CD V-700.
M-1-3 Draft 10
- 4. Place the probe in a light plastic bag or cover of light-weight material to prevent contamination. This is desirable but not mandatory.
- 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 head-phone.
- 7. Place the probe two inches from the head, being careful not to touch the person.
- 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 continue the procedure on the other side of the body (reference Illustration 1).
- 9. Monitor the front and back of the body.
- 10. Record the information on the Decontamination Monitoring
' Report Form (reference Attachment A to this Appendix).
- 11. Assure that individuals found to be contaminated are decontaminated.*
- 12. Monitor the individual after decontamination to determine that the contamination has been removed. Repeat decontam-ination procedures if contamination still remains.
B. Thyroid Gland Screening Check for Emergency Workers
- 1. In addition to the steps outlined in II.A. above, emergency workers are to be screened for thyroid gland uptake of radiciodine.
- 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 .
l 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. l M-1-4 Draft 10 L
- 2. The thyroid uptake screening procedure follows:
- a. The CD V-700 is used as the screening detector for thyroid uptake of radiciodine.
CAUTION The individual being checked must be free of any contamination before this procedure is implemented. -
- b. Monitors performing the thyroid screening uptake proce-dure 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. (3) If the reading is less than 0.1 mR/hr, no further
; action is necessary.
(4) Record the data on the Dosimetry-KI 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 suf ficient. Emphasis should be placed on any specific spots found to be contami-nated in the monitoring process. Also, special attention should be given to the hair, hands and fingernails.
~
- 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 monitor-ing after the second thorough cleansing indicates that the contamination is still present, the individual should be sent to the nearest medical facility capable of treating contami-nated persons.
- 3. Care should be taken that persons who are decontaminated do not become recontaminated by dressing in contaminated clothing l (the clothing the .
i brought by them.)yIf were wearingdoes the individual or possibly not haveother clothing contami- ! nation free clothing, clothing should be issued the indivi-dual until such time as their clothing can be decontaminated. l M-1-5 Draft 10 l L .
r ILLUSTRATI0ft 1 - DECONTAMINATION MONITORING I 1 i M-1-6 Draft 10
D. Decontamination Procedures for Wounds Persons with contaminated wounds should be referred to an appro-priate medical facility for radiation decontamination and treatment. E. Clothing Decontamination Procedures
- 1. Articles which are machine washable should be laundered 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. ,,
- 2. The County DES is responsible for arranging for a laundry facility dedicated to washing of contaminated clothing.
F. Decontamination Procedures for Supplies, Instruments and Equipment
- 1. The item in quer, tion 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 wMing to the extent necessary to remove the radiological con
- minants.
- 2. The County DES is responsible for arranging for radiation r
monitoring of vehicles and for decontamination. At mass care centers, monitoring teams will initiallyb)above. totheevacueesasdescribedin(a)and (direct tSeir Waen efforts time permits, the monitoring teams can monitor the vehicle.; of the evacuees where they are parked. Generally, external monitor-ing of vehicles will be sufficient; however, inside monitor-ing will also be done for those vehicles found to be exter-nally contaminated and those vehicles used by persons found to be contaminated. Suitable car washing arrangements can be made for external decontamination depending upon the number of vehicles contaminated and amount of radiological contami-nants. The county will seek the advice of BRP, through PEMA, in deciding what measures will be effective and expeditious. Vehicles with contamination in the' interiors will be impounded and BRP must be consulted, through_PEMA, on how to deconta-minate these vehicles before they are returned to their owners. G. Disposal of Contaminated Wastes
- 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 success- .
' fully decontaminated, special handling is necessary.
M-1-7 Draft 10
- 2. Contaminated waste materials should be pcckaged in a plastic bag, tied securely at the top, and placed in a metal container
-with a snug fitting lid (garbage can) until it is laundered.
If any material cannot be decontaminated 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. Ac:umulation of contaminated waste materials and the need for disposal should be reported through the emer-gency management system. ATTACHMENT: A.

APPENDIX 2 ANNEX M DOSIMETRY AND P0TASSIUM I0DIDE (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 team members are issued a CD V-742, a 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 access to, each emergency organizational unit. D. The CD V-740 (0-100R) self-reading dosimeter is considered an adequate substitute for either the CD V-730 or CD V-742. II. DISTRIBUTION OF DOSIMETRY-P0TASSIUM IODIDE AND RELATED PROCEDURES A. Distribution The TLDs, CD V-730s o_r_ 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 available. For this purpose a " Dosimetry, KI, Survey Meter Distribution List" is included as Appendix 3. This county list identifies by name and address each organization to be distributed these resources and specifies the number of dosimeters, units of KI, dosimeter chargers, and survey meters assigned to each agency. The using organizations will distribute dosimetry and KI to emergency workers upon the declaration of SITE EMERGENCY. (Note: Decontamination monitoring teams at 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-XI" (see Attachment E) is designed for transferral of quantities of equip-ment from agency to agency, such as from the county to munici-M-2-1 Draft 10
palities and decontamination teams, and from municipalities to emergency response organizations (fire, police, ambulance).
" Acknowledgment of Receipt by Emergency Workers for Dosimetry-XI and Survey Meters" (see Attachment F) is designed to expedite transferral of the equipment-KI to individual users. Municipal E0Cs, fire companies, police departments, ambulance services and decontamination monitoring teams should use this form (Attachment F) to maintain accountability when distributing the equipment-KI to their individual emergency workers.
Upon termination of an incident, all equipment and unused KI must be returned to the county DES. , C. Control TLD's
- 1. In the event of an incident, the County DES will collect 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 numbers are net 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 contrac-tor. 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 measurement 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 accumu-lated 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.
III. POTASSIUM I0DIDE (KI) A. Background Information
- 1. Iodine accumulates in the thyroid gland which is located at .
the front base 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 radioactive iodine does not lodge a there in a large quantity. Hence, KI lessens the risk to the M-2-2 Draft 10
thyroid gland; otherwise, it provides no protection against radiation.
- 2. The Pennsylvania Department of Health is responsible for developing policies relating to use of KI during fixed nuclear incidents. The department has procured KI tablets for emergency workers and KI in liquid form for staff and patients of risk hospitals. 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 is six drops per~ day; for planning purposes the liquid KI -" requirements are based upon a 14 day supply per person.
- 3. The toxicity levei of KI is very low and dangers in taking this drug are considered to be minimal. Nonetheless, indi-vidJals should not take more than the recommended dose.
Although side effects of 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 elevated 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. Information on Thyro-Block and on the liquid KI are included in Attachments C and D to this Appendix.
B. Pennsylvania Department of Health Policies on KI
- 1. KI in tablet form is available to emergency workers (emer-gency management agencies, police forces, fire companies, ambulance services, and farmers keeping livestock). Those emergency worker organizations and institutions that receive KI protection are specified in Appendix 3.
- 2. The Secretary of the Deparment 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 emer- . gency workers through emergency management channels. Upon taking KI the emergency worker should record this infor-M-2-3 Draft 10
mation on the Dosimetry-XI Report Form (see Attachment A to this Appendix).
- 3. The Department of Health will provide the public with infor-mation concerning KI.
IV. 00SIMETRY READINGS, 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 recommends dosimetry is no longer neces-sary. 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 indi-vidual 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 5 R should be interpreted to mean that a 5 rem dose has been received.*
- 3. Each emergency worker should read the self-reading dosimeters i at least once each thirty minutes.
- 4. Two self-reading dosimeters provide redundancy. Workers should heed the higher measurement taken from the two dosi-meters. It is possibTe 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 workers and supervisors are cautioned that the 25 .

- AisRoentgen based upon (R)effects is a unit of measurement as measured in air; aof x-ray (or gamma radiation thatr) is a rem 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.
M-2-4 Draft 10
m 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 circumstances permit substitution of personnel, termination of the assignment, or other protective action.
- 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.
- 4. Life Saving Missions - Responsible emergency management of offsite workers dictates that exceeding the 25 rem protective action guide should not occur. However, should there 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, 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. In no case may they exceed 75 rem. Elected officials may authorize 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 (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 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., police .
men and firefighters with suitable protective clothing and respiratory equipment.
- e. The mission is accomplished in the least amount of " stay time."
M-2-5 Draft 10
- f. The emergency workers are knowledgeable of and accept the increased risk of exceeding the 25 rem PAG.
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 (descen- " dants).
- 1. Representative Relationships Between a Brief One-Time Radia-tion Exposure and Immediate Somatic Effects Representative Absorbed -
Dose of Whole Body X or Gamma Radiation (rads) Nature of Effect 5-25 rem Minimal dose detectable by chromosome 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 ren 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 -
Current knowledge about the long term health effects resulting from a one time radiation exposure below 25 rem indicates that development of health problems, such 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 dose protec-

tive action guide of 25 rem) causing health problems years after the exposure.
- 3. Genetic Effects of Radiation 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 conception during the first few months after 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 (reference Attachment A) and for returning it, along with the dosimetry, to his organization at the termination of his services. Each emergency organi-zation will 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 who 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 information 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 hours after and contractor's receipt of the TLDs. BRP will promptly relay the readings, with their interpretation 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 shruld be issued new TLDs. V. FARMER ACCESS TO THE PLUME EXPOSURE PATHWAY EPZ A. Farmers as Emergency Workers M-2-7 Draft 10
Farmers with livestock within the plume exposure pathway EPZ will be designated emergency workers if the EPZ is evacuated. The ' County DES will provide these farmers with dosimetry and KI and identification enabling them to stay within or exit and reenter the evacuated area to tend livestock. 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. ._ If an evacuation is necessary, an Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) announcement will direct farmers with livestock within the EPZ to report to this location. The County Agricultural Agent or his representative will distribute the dosimetry-KI to the farmers. A
" Farmer Emergency Worker Certification'_' form (reference Attachment G) will be completed in duplicate for each farmer. The original copy will be given to the farmer and serve as a pass for access to the evacuated area. The duplicate will be retained by the agri-culture representative as the basis for property control.
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.

APPENDIX 4 ANNEX M INVENTORY AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES I. PURPOSE This attachment sets forth procedures for inventory and maintenance of the dosimetry, dosimeter chargers, survey meters and potassium iodide (KI) intended for use in response to incidents at the Limerick Generating Station. , II. DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this appendix, the following definitions are applicable: A. Inspection - A visual check for physical damage and missing accessories to include batteries (for the CD V-750 and CD V-700) which should be stored separately. B. Operational check -
- 1. Self-reading dosimeters (CD V-730, CD V-742, or Dosimeter Corporation of America Model 622) - The dosimeter is opera-tional if the hairline can be moved to or close to zero using a dosimeter charger.
- 2. Dosimetercharger(CDV-750)-Thechargerisoperationalif the light source for reading dosimeters is working and the charger can move the hairline on a self-reading dosimeter to or close to zero.
- 3. Survey meter (CD V-700) - The survey meter is operational if, after turning the selector switch to the X10 range, allowing
! 30 seconds for warmup, opening the shield on the probe and , placing the open area of the probe as close as possible to the operational check source located on the instrument case, the meter reads between 1.5 and 2.5 mr/h. C. Special RERP issue - Refers to dosimeters, dosimeter chargers and , survey meters that are either civil defense or commercial equip- ! ment issued to selected counties for the express purpose of response to nuclear facility incidents; this equipment is in addition to civil defense kits issued to counties as a prepared- . ness measure for nuclear attack. D. Set aside - Refers only to CD V-742 dosimeters and CD V-750 . dosimeter charters originally issued as part of civil defense items which have been removed from the kits (but are stored in the proximity of the kits) and " set-aside" for ready availability if a M-4-1 Draft 10 Lm- . _
I nuclear power plant incident should occur. This equipment, of course, can be placed back into the civil defense kits if a nuclear attack becomes a heightened concern. III. INVENTORY AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES A. Annually, during the month of January, the Chester County DES will conduct a complete inventory of all special RERP issue or set-aside of dosimeters, dosimeter chargers, survey meters, KI and related forms (reference Attachment A). Using the form provided (Attachment A), the County DES Director will report the results of the inventory to PEMA. , B. At least once each year, PEMA will conduct an inventory-inspection-operational check of the special issue and set-aside equipment and KI. All such equipment and KI will be made available at a central location for this procedure. C. PEMA will provide an annual KI report to the Department of Health. D. These procedures pertain only to the special RERP issue or set-aside of equipment and KI for response to nuclear power facility incidents and in no way changes or alters other established procedures for RADEF equipment. VI. THERM 0 LUMINESCENT 00SIMETERS Each year, based on the original issue date, PEMA will conduct an exchange of new-for-old TLD's with the County DES. When the annual
-replacements are received from the TLD service contractw, PEMA will exchange the TLD's on a one-for-one basis with the county.
There are no maintenance requirements for the TLD's and each has a usable life of only one year. ATTACHMENT: A. Fixed Nuclear Facility Special Equipment - KI Forms Inventory Report Form l l . M-4-2 Draft 10
