October, 1984 Revision 0 7.4 Frotective Facilities and souipment The principal onsite assembly areas for graidwood station are the Machine shop on the 401-foot elevation of the service Building and the Unit 92 Turbine Building trackway. These areas are suitable because:

1) They are large open areas suitable for assembling a large number of people in a st. ort times

2) They are relatively close to the security Gaten)uses and

3) They have a low procability of being affected b) a serious accident involving the Mass.

The offsite evacuation / relocation areas for graidwood station are discussed in section 6.0 of this annex. All three locations are suitable, depending on the emergency condition, with personnel, supplies and communications readily available.

7.5 First Aid and Medical Facilities graidwood station has an in-plant first aid / decontamination room on the 426 foot elevation of the auxiliary building near the station laboratory complex. This room is provided with a sint, a shower, a portable leaded glass shield, and a supply cabinet.

First aid kits, stretchers, sinks, eyewashes and emergency showers have been placed in strategic locations throughout the station.

April, 1984 Revision 4 6.5 Aid to Affected onsite Personnel 6.5.1 Emergency Personnel Exposure Being licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, all Commonwealth nuclear stations maintain personnel exposure control programs in accordance with 10 CFR 20. The Commonwealth Edison Radiation Protection Standards include guidance that should be used for limiting personnel exposures under emergency conditions. When-ever possible, the prior approval of the Station Superintendent, the Commonwealth Medical Director, and/or the Station's Radiation Protection Supervisor should be secured before exposing individuals to dose equivalents beyond 10 CFR 20 limits. In addition to the guidance of the Commonwealth Edison Radiation Protection Standards, emergency personnel exposures shall be limited to the recommendations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as follows:

1) Emergency Workers - This applies to conditions where it is desirable to enter an emergency area to protect facilities, eliminate serious unplanned release of effluents, or to control fires.

a) Planned whole body dose equivalent shall not exceed 25 rens;

, r.

t b) Planned dose equivalent to the thyroid shall not exceed 125 rems.

2) Life Saving Actions -

This applies to search for and removal of injured persons or entry to the emergency area to prevent conditions that would injure other people.

a) Dose equivalent to the whole body shall not exceed 75 rems; b) No limit for the thyroid since total loss of thyroid function could be allowable.

Th e emergency limits outlined in this section shall be voluntary and, if received, be limited to once in a lifetime."

April, 1984 Revision 4 6.5.2 Decontamination and First Aid 6.5.2.1 General There are no resident physicians, nurses, or industrial hygienists on the staff of Commonwealth's generating stations. However, the radiation protection personnel at each nuclear station are experienced in control of radioactive contamination and decontamination work. The radiation protection personnel and certain supervisors are also trained and qualified to administer first aid. These individuals are annually retrained in first aid by the station training staff. At least one of these individuals is available on shift at all times.

The functions of station personnel in handling onsite injured people are:

1) afford rescue;

2) administer first aid including such resuscitative measures as are deemed necessary;

3) begin decontamination procedures; and

4) arrange suitablec transportation to a hospital when required.

6.5.2.2 Initial First Aid Primary attention shall be directed to the actual factors involved in the treatment of casualties, such as:

control of bleeding, resuscitation including heart and lung. .

protection of wounds from bacterial or radioactive contami-nation and the immobilization of fractures.

6.5.2.3 Decontamination Nuclear Station radiation protection personnel shall provide an initial estimate of the magnitude of surface contamination of the injured and preliminary estimates of total body dose to the injured. Directed by radiation protection personnel, the station should carry out primary rapid and simple decontamination of the surface of the body when possible and advisable before transportation oC the injured to a designated hospital.

6-37

April, 1984 Revision 4 6.5.3 Medical Transoortation Arrangements are made by each nuclear generating station for prompt ambulance service for transporting persons with injuries involving radioactivity from the respective generating station to designated hospitals. Such service is available on a 24-hour per day basis and is confirmed in writing. Radiation monitoring services shall be provided by Commonwealth whenever it becomes necessary to use the ambulance service for the transportation of contaminated persons.

Injured persons shall be transported to a hospital or other medical facility in a prudent and timely manner. Those persons contaminated with radioactive material shall be taken to the desig-nated hospital and be accompanied by a person qualified in radi-ation monitoring techniques.

6.5.4. Medical Treatment 6.5.4.1 Mosoital Facilities Arrangements, confirmed in writing every two (2) calendar years, are maintained by Commonwealth with a qualified hospital located in the vicinity of each nuclear generating station for receiving and treating of contaminated or exposed persons. Such nearby hospital facilities shall be utilized for decontamination and initial treatment of persons with injuries involving radioactivity and requiring immediate hospital care. Commonwealth shall provide medical consultants to aid in any special care necessary at these facilities.

Arrangements, confirmed in writing every two (2) l calendar years, are also maintained by the corporate office with a qualified major medical facility well equipped and r staffed for dealing with persons having radiation injuries

) and whenever necessary, such persons will be transferred to this major hospital facility for extended specialized treatment. Currently,- Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois serves as this hospital. Commonwealth will have available to the staff of this hospital its specialist who will provide the direction of the special care necessary for the treatment of persons having radiation injuries.

6.5.4.2 Radiological Medical Consultants Because of the specialized nature of the diagnosis and treatment of radiation injuries, commonwealth's corporate medical office maintains a roster of physicians especially competent in this area of medicine and available for the i

April, 1984 Revision 4 care of persons with these spe'cial problems. Included in this roster are experts in the treatment of internal contamination, cutaneous radiation injury, total body irradiation and other potential problems related to exposure by ionizing radiation or radioactive. materials.

These specialists may be in direct charge of the care of these patients or serve as consultants to other physicians in charge of their care.
