i PREFACE ,

The Downingtown Area. School District consists of eleven (11) public schools,  ;

I including Pickering Valley Elementary. All schools are located outside the

' ten mile radius plume exposure pathway emergency planning tone (EPZ) of the Limerick Generating Station. Additionally, one private school (Upattinas) is

- located within the Downingtown Area School District and has a specific I

radiological emergency response plan for incidents at the Limerick Generating

! Station.

s

' The District has developed this plan with the provision to shelter those students of the Pickering Valley School who reside in the EPZ in the event of

! . a protective action advisory for evacuation of the EPZ. Students of the j Downingtown Area School District not attending Pickering Valley, but who reside within the EPZ, will be retained at the building of attendance (outside l the EPZ)*. Students retained at either Pickering Valley'or any of the other 1

schools while school is in session will await pick-up by parents, guardians or previously arranged alternate (s).

A listing of the affected students is maintained by each principal and by the I administration of the Downingtown Area School District.

' O. ' Definitions' E ' *

., 1. Access Control Point ( ACP) - Those points manned primarily by

/(

b P state or local police, augmented when necessary by the National

< Guard,-established around all roads leading into an evacuated

'. 3 garea, or an area where occupants are taking shelter, for the

' purpose of controlling access into the area.

/

, 2. Amateur Radio- Licensed volunteer radio amateur communications

' personnel aWiliated with county emergency management orv aniza-tion. (Such organizations include Amateur Radio Emergency Service ~ (ARES), . Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES),

4 Wheel Drive Clubs for Emergency Services, Civil Defense /

Citizens Band, and Radio Ener9ency Action Teams'(REACT).

3. Central Resource Receiving Point - A predesignated location outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ, suitable for the reception and distribution of supplies and equipment.

4. Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Announcements - Official annoucements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from the County Comunissioners, or their designated official representative, to the pennanent 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 tapplicable statewide. Priorities > for EBS announcements are specified in law; first pridrity to the Federal government, second priority to county governments, And third priority to

- staty overnments.

g Restriction on use' of EBS announcements does not preclude appropriate use of newspapers, radio and television ,

, for pubite infonnation statusents. I i

f 5.4 Emergenc;r h4anagement - The Judicious planning, assignment and coordina11on of all available resources in an integrated program j< of preventifon, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery l for emergen or natural. gies of any (May sources. kind, be whether froes enemy attack, man-aade termed Emergency Preparedness.)

6. Emeriency Operations Center {EGC)'- A facility used by state,

, county or, municipal governments from which to direct operations in the event of an emergency. '

, 7. Emergenc:t Planning Zone FEPZ) - A generic area defined about a

(

,~

nuclear. "acility to facilitate offsite emergency planning and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure path, ways.

a. Pleae Exposure Pathway - The area surrounding a fixed -

nuclear fac111ty which potentially is subject to radiation exposure as.a result og an incident involving radioactive material emanating from the facility. Such potential O exposure could involve: .(1) whole body external exposure to.

gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials, j

' - g2 Rev. O i

i

and (2) inhalation exposure from th3 passing radioactive pl ume. The EPZ for this pathway consists of an area of approximately ten miles in radius around the fixed nuclear O

facility. (The exact size and configuration of the Limerick Generating Station plume exposure pathway EPZ 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 Exxsure 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 facil ity.

8. Host School - Predetermined schools outside the plime 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 orlegal guardians.

Students residing in the plume exposure pathway EPZ and attend-ing school outside will be held for pick-up at the school they I attend. l

9. Incident - An event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (O

b incident classifications have been identified (from the least serious to the most serious), they are: Unusual Event, Alert, i

Site Emergency and General Emergency, within each class these are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public l health and safety are protected. Descriptions of the four classes are:

a. Unusual Event - 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 - Aa 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 vu ideline exposure levels except near the facility site boundary.

3 Rev. O

d. Gen 1ral 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 O(' 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  !

incident requiring evacuation. Traffic control points will be l manned by the Pennsylvania State Police to expedite traffic

, movement.

11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providin, emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily l homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in  :

suitable dining facilities) or nearby. i

12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission; including the pre-positioning or movement of equipment or personnel.

13. Hunicipality - For the purposes of this plan, the terms

" municipality" or " municipal government" are defined or ,

referring, singularly or collectively, to cities, boroughs, '

townships and incorporated towns within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

I

- 14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is

, physically located. l i 15. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which

'affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken. -

16. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a i projected dose of radiation. Some of the basic actions are:

a. Sheltering - Action taken 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.

,' b. ' General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire population j

, within a specified geographic area.

c. Selective Evacuation - The evacuation of specific elements of the population, such as pregnant women, pre-school

, children or the infirm.

17. Public Alert System - A one-way alert system providing the ,

county emergency management agency with the ability to I disseminate a warning to essentially 100% of the population of ,

the EPZ. The public alert system is comprissd of approxicately 166 high-output electro-mechanical sirens, controlled by the

! County, which signal the general population of the EPZ to tune t i to the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). The siren signal is l never an indication to evacuate.

18. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by the j

Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) or county i official spokespersons via newspaper, radio or television to  :

1 explain government actions being taken to protect the public in i I event of any public emergency. The purpose of the announcement  !

2. Ensure that planned actions are in consonance with riunicipal, County und State RERP,'s.

3. Identify necessary resources and required personnel to assure protective actions can be implemented for the Downingtown Area (O ~

District school 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.

6 Rev. O

II. BASIC PLAN a

A. General Because a number of school districts are found within the approximate 10-mile plume exposure pathway EPZ of the Limerick l Generating Station, all of which might be expected to implement I

their respective RERP,'s simultaneously, the safety of the school j population can best be served through an emergency plan that is in  !

consonance among all districts, as well as with the Chester County l Plan. . Accordingly, the Downingtown 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 protect school students while attending any school function, including classroom and/or extracurricular activities, special events or any function sponsored by the school. ,

1. School in session refers to regular classroom hours (semesters; summer sessions; evening classes); when the authorized school calendar applies; when students are involved in re3ular school  !

. sponsored activities / events; or when students occupy school

facilities under school supervision.*

l l 2. School not in session refers to after hours durin'g the time of the authorized school calendar (regular and summer school '

terms). Special activities during vacation perioos will be included if school facilities are occuppied by individuals or

() groups not authorized / sponsored oy the school (district).*

m

3. This plan does not apply during vacation periods or when all school facilities are closed for extended periods.

4. Students refer to individuals in grades Kindergarten (K) to Twelve (12) or authorized pre-school program (s).

5. In no case will students be dismissed to their own care if protective action is imminent. School officials will remain

, responsible for student safety until parents / guardians can assume responsibility. i 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. - Th'e Superintendent of Schools is responsible to the School Board for all school emergency plans and procedures, the coordination of protective action within the school building and for the safety of students'and staff in the event of an incident at the 4

Limerick GenIrating Station.

3. Non-profit private schools within the territory covered by the Downingtown Area School District come under the school district

" for planning, notification and coordination of transportation t

. resource requirements. l l 4. The Superintendent coordinates with the Chester County Department of Emergency Services for protective response to  :

include the direction and control of evacuation and/or i sheltering of students and staff and for the cancellation of school or special activities.

5. All students, school buildings, school equipment, staff and contracts will remain under the supervision and control of the Superintendent of Schools. The District Administration Office will serve as the interfacing puint in providing for administra-tion, information/ resource exchange and manageinent of school services, j 6. Host school services furnished by other school districts shall i be under the operational control of the supporting host i

district.

7. Because of the multi-district scope of a radiological emer3ency,

i. the need for centralized coordination of emergency response i personnel and resources becomes essential. For the purposes of l this Plan, therefore, Chester County shall exercise responsibility for coordination and support.

O t

8. The Chester County Radiological Emergency Response Plan to which this document shall be annexed shall govern implementation of  :

the District RERP.  !

l

9. Coordination between the Counties involved shall be accomplished I by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and be  ;

governed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Disaster  !

Operations Plan, Annex E, Fixed Nuclear Facility Incidents.

C. District Organization An Organizational Chart for the Downingtown Area School District is included in Attachment 6.

1 D. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident Situation

1. All incidents occuring at the Limerick Generating Station will be classified according to the .four incident classifications:

Unusual Event. Alert Sita Emergency, General Emergency.

2. A fixed nuclear facility incident could occur during school hours and result in the disruption of school services for an

extended period of time.  !

In the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station,

i county electcd officials and school administration may initiate protective actions including all those actions considered necessary for the safety of the general population, requiring 7 students and staff to either initiate sheltering actions or evacuate directly to designated host schools.

E. Alert / Notification System L

1. Chester County and the District will maintain an alert /notifica-3 tion procedure and a telecommunications system to provide for >

alert / notification /information exchange in ths. event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. The telecommun-ications system includes telephones located at the District Administrative Office (and each school building principal's ~

i office). ARES backs up this system. Commercial telephone snall 1 serve as the primary. method of communication. ARES shall serve

as the secondary method to de used in the event of a failure of i the primary system. Chester County department of Emergency Services will dispatch an FXES operator to the school district l office to provide an alternate means of communication in the j event of telephone failure.

In the event of an ' incident at the Limerick Generating Station requiring notification of schools, Chester County DES will

! notify the Superintendent or his alternate.
