F RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN MANATAWNY MANOR I.
INTRODUCTION A.
Purpose The following Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) is designed to prepare Manat.awny Manor personnel to respond appropriately to emergencies or potential emergency situations in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
The objective of this plan is to identify each necessary function, determine who will be responsible for it, assign authority within that function, and illustrate how that function will relate to others.
This Radiolog'ical 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 environment for both residents and staff.
This document is intended to conform to all appropriate federal, state, county and municipal statutes and accrediting / licensing agency regulations for the safety and care of residents and employees during a radiological emergency.
Orientation of new personnel should include issuance of appropriate sections of this plan and instruction in the duties assigned therei n.
B.
Authority The authority for the preparation of this plan is provided by P. L.

6.
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.
7.
Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident (hereinafter called an
" incident") - An incident is an event or condition at a fixed nuclear facility whicn could result in a negative impact on public health and safety. Four 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 Emergency classifications are not to be confused with a " Declaration of 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 2
.~.
.. _ -. - ~ - _
e the plant.. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further o
degradation of safety systems occurs.
b.
Alert - Events.~are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
I 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 the site boundary.
d.-
General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.
6.

agreement has been made for the hosting-of evacuated residents.
9.
Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which potentially is subject to radiation j
exposure as a result of an incident involving radioactive i
material emanating from the facility. Such potential exposure i
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 t
Limerick Generating Station was determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected l
by conditions such as demography, topography, access routes, and j
jurisdictional boundaries.)
l
- 10. Protective Action Guide (PAG) - Projected dose to individuals in i
the general population which warrants protective action.
- 11. Protective Actions - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation.
(Sometimes referred to as l,
protective measures.)
l
- 12. Public Information Statements.- Public announcements made by l
Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency or county official spokespersons 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 3
l'
?
provide accurate information, prevent panic and counteract misinformation and rumors. Reference to the emergency situation itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about it.
- 13. Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) - Detailed incident response plans developed by the State and its agencies, county and municipal emergency management agencies and special facilities in coordination with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and. the fixed nuclear f acility.
14 Radioprotective Drugs - A medication (generally Potassium lodide) wnich blocks the absorption of radioactive lodine-131 by the thyroid gland, which will be issued to individuals required to stay within the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ.
15 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, 16.
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 incident classification terms called Site Emergency and General Emergency.
- 17. Transportation Resources - Modes of transportation for evaucation of nursing home residents; generally includes ambulances, buses and trucks.
- 18. Unmet Needs - Capabilities and/or resources required to support emergency operations but neither available nor provided for at the respective levels of emergency response.

Dear Vince:
Reviewing our needs and the points raised in the FEMA evaluation of the July 25th drill, I have come to the conclusion that we will require additional assistance from PECO. This assistance consists of 8 additional telephone extensions and 12 additional 16 handsets.
This will allow us to expand our municipal, industrial and school liasons groups while keeping lines free for incoming calls from the involved EPZ agencys. I have initiated the paper work for the eight lines on our Centrex system and will await your response regarding the handsets.

Dear Vince:
A review of the July 25th and October 17th drills, along with an assessment of the unmet needs passed to us by the school districts and municipalities, has revealed an area in which we must ask PECO for further assistance.
In order to provide backup route alerting capacity and to allow for appropriate response and to maximize the efficient use of county owned and operated vehicles, I would like to ask PECO to provide the following:
a) 20 460 Hghtz VHF Radios b) 26 500 Mghtz VHF Radios c) 59 PA/ Siren Units d) 2 VHF Low Band Radios e) 2 VHF High Band Radios This will allow us to use every passenger transport vehicle owned by the County to aid persons without private transportation and also to supplement the school and nisrsing home bus requirements. It will allow the use of Deputy Sheriffs, prison guards, and Park Rangers as a security or traffic control reserve.
It will also allow the use of county trucks to more vital items out of the Emergency Planning Zone.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN COVENTRY MANOR NURSING HOME I.
INTRODUCTION A.
Purpose The following Radiological Energency Response Plan (RERP) is designed to prepare Coventry Manor Nursing Home, Inc. personnel to respond appropriately to emergencies or potential emergency situations in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
The objective of this plan is to identify each necessary function, determine who will be responsible for 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 environment for both guests and staff.
This document is intended to conform to all appropriate federal, state, county and municipal statutes and accrediting / licensing agency regulations for the safety and care of residents and employees during a radiological emergency.
l Orientation of new personnel should include issuance of appropriate sections of this plan and instruction in the duties assigned therein.
B.
Authority The authority for the preparation of this plan is provided by P. L.
1332, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Services Act of 1978.
C.

Health and Medical Services.
D.
Definitions The following definitions refer to terms mentioned within the text of this plan or commonly used in reference to long-term care / nursing facilities.
1.
Dosimeter s - 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, or t' heir designated official representative, to the resicents of the county. Announcements are made over the legally designated EBS network.
3.
Emergency Management - The judicious planning, assignment and coordination of all available resources in an integrated program of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery for emergencies of any kind, whether from enemy attack, man-made or natural sources.
i 4.
Emergency Operations Center (E0C) - A specific location within the nursing home complex designated for use by the Emergency Management Team to direct operations in the event of an emergency condition.
5.
Emergen:y Planning Zone (EPZ) - A generic area defined about a nuclear facility to facilitate offsite emergency planning and i
develop a significant response base.
It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.
6.
Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident (hereinafter called an
" incident") - An incident is an event or condition at a fixed i
nuclear facility which could result in a negative impact on i
public health and safety.
Four incident classifications have l
oeen identified; from the least serious to the most serious they are: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Emergency and General l
Emergency.
(Note: Site or General Emergency classifications are not to be confused with a " Declaration of Disaster l
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 2
--yy 7-
-_.__y--
r the plant. No releases of radioactive caterial requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
b.
Alert - Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level 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 the site boundary.
d.
General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity.
Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.
7.
Host Facility - A nursing home or other facility located outside the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ with which a formal written agreement has been made for the hosting of evacuated residents.
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 frmn 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 l
projected dose of radiation.
(Sometimes referred to as protective measures.)
l
- 11. Public Information statements - Public announcements made by Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency or county official spokespersons 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 3
provide accurate information, prevent panic and counteract i
i misinformation and rumors.
Reference to the emergency situation itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information l
about it.
- 12. Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) - Detailed incident response plans developed by the State and its agencies, county i
and municipal emergency management agencies and special facilities in coordination with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and the fixed nuclear facility.
- 13. 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.
- 14. 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.
1 i
- 15. State of Disaster Emergency - A state of disaster emergency exists whenever the Governor issues a declaration cf disaster i
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, b9 t no state of disaster emergency may continue for longer than 90 days unless renewed by_ the Governor.

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 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.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.

b.
Ingestion Exposure Pathway - That area surrour$ ding 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 couists of a circular area of 50 miles radius around the fixed nuclear facility.
8.
Host School - Predetermined school: outside-the plume exposure patnway EPZ to which risk school students are evacuated, at which they remain under risk school officials' supervision, until they are picked up by their parents or legal guardians.
Students residing in the plume exposure pathway EPZ and attend-ing school outside will be held for pick-up at the school they attend.
9.
Incident - An event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety.
Four 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 offstte response or monitoring are expected unless further degradatien of safety systems occurs.
b.
Alert - An occurrence which involves actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the facility. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guideline exposure levels, c.
Site Emergency - An occurrence which involves actual or likely major failures of facility functions needed for the protection of the public. Radioactive releases are not expected to exceed the EPZ protective action guideline exposure levels except near the facility sit,e 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 i
exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an l
incident requiring evacuation. Traffic control points will be manned by the Pennsylvania State Police to expedite traffic movement.

Identify necessary resources and required personnel to assure recommended protective actions can be implemented for the Spring-Ford Area School District population.
4.
Provide the basis for orientation of school staff, students and parents / guardians regarding appropriate actions in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
II. BASIC PLAN A.
General Because a number of school districts are found within the 10-mile plume expsoure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respectvie RERP's simultaneously, the reduction of risk to the school population can l
best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among l
all districts, as well as with the state and risk county RERP's.
Accordingly, the Spring-Ford Area School District RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with other plans without risk of conflict.
This plan is designed to minimize the risk to school students while attending any school function, including classroom and/or extra-curricular activities, special events or any function sponsored by the school.
B.
Direction and Coordination 1.
.The Superintendent of Schools shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by the School Board and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
2.
The Superintendent of Schools is responsible to the School Board for all school emergency plans and procedures to minimize the risk for students and staff in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
4 3.
Non-profit private schools within the territory covered by the Spring-Ford Area School District come under the school district for planning, notification and coordination of transportation resource requirements.
4.
The Superintendent of Schools coordinates with the Montgomery County OEP for recommended protective response to include the direction and control of evacaution and/or sheltering of stu-dents and staff and for the cancellation of school or special j
activities.
5.

G.
Evacuation Concepts 1.
Protective Action Option Evacuation is a protective action option which involves movement of the population from the plume exposure pathway EPZ.
It may be accomplished on a selective or general basis.
(
11 Draft 4
i y
2.
Authorization and Control
.a.
The Governor, or his constitutionally designated successor, has the sole authority and ry ansibility for directing and compelling a selective or general evacuation, b.
Elected county or municipal officials in authority may reconnend an evacuation for their respective jurisdictions.
1 c.
PEHA has thegrimary responsibility for directing and controlling an evacuation order made by the Governor.
d.
A decision-to evacuate risk municipalities (including school 3
districts) will be announced by PEHA through the Montgomery
)
County OEP channels to school districts and building principals.
(Note: The Pennsylvania Department of Education may notify District Superintendents for the purpose of redundancy and municipal EHA Coordintors will i
confirm the notification of building principals in their 1
municipality.)
e.
The Spring-Ford Area School District has the authority to close schools at its discretion. During a fixed nuclear
}
facility incident, the Montgomery County OEP must be kept informed of decisions to close school.or have school remain closed; as the Montgomery County OEP will coordinate school closings among all districts / schools and dispatch / provide needed transportation in the event of a need to evacuate.
i 3.
Logistics of Evacuation i
i a.

the EPZ will be bussed directly to the host schools, to i
await pick-up by parent or guardian. Host schools for the Spring-Ford Area School District are the Colonial School District; Host school for Sacred Heart School is St. Phillip l
Neri School; Host School For Chapel Christian Academy is Calvery Baptist School; Host School for West-Hont Vo-Tech i
School is Upper Perkiomen School District (High School); and j.
Host School for Collegeville Montessori Academy is Lansdale j
Christian Academy.
I b.
Transportation to host schools will be coordinated by the Montgomery DEP for all public and non-profit private school
~
students. Students will not be expected to utilize personal 4
vehicles during evacaution. District policy for the use of 3
l private vehicles will :pply, as described in Section F.3.
I c.
Conditions permitting, sufficient transportation will be l
coordinated by the Montgomery OEP to attempt to move all j
students inside the EPZ in one lift.
District contract j
transportation resources will be provided giving priority to schools nearest the Limerick Generating Station. Students l
will be moved to the designated host schools as soon as I

y Sample Letter #1 SPRING-FORD AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
Dear Parent:
The Spring-Ford Area School District has developed plans to protect l
. students should an incident at the Limerick Generating Station require the protective response of the Spring-Ford Area School District. Normally, i
schools will be closed before any protective actions are necessary, but in the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before schools are closed, the District has plans for accomplishing those protective actions.
If evacua-4 tion is necessary, students will be safely bussed directly to schools in a host school district. The host school district for our District is Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School - Colonial School District located in an area approximately 2 miles East of Norristown Exit of Turnpike. Parents or legal guardians will be requested to pick up their children at the host school j,
building. A list of host schools for each' District school building follows:
j District School Host School / Address All school building Plymouth-Whitemarsh Senior High School i
When evacuation of students is required, the District is concerned that l
any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be j
maintained throughout, and that parents / guardians be reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. School staff will accompany students i
during evacuation, host schools are located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the normal mass care centers for the general public.
j School staff will remain with students until all students are picked-up. It j
is not necessary to rush, drive safely to the host school and your child will be waiting for you under the supervision of school staff.
i i
Because it is important that school driveways and access roads be kept
{
open for buses, the District requests that parents / guardians refrain from trying to pick-up students at risk schools when an evacuation has been ordered
}
or appears immenent.
(Drive to the host school and pick-up your child.)
In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate school census. Therefore, if you 'still choose to pick-up your son or daughter at their own sch'ool,"please use the appropriate l
access road and student pick-up entrance, outlined below:

Please complete the attached form, designating who can' pick-up your child and have the child return the fann to
