D. Definitions

1. Access Control Point (ACP) - Those points manned primarily by State or local police, augmented when necessary by the National Guard, established around the perimeter of the EPZ on roads I Rev. 0.1

leading into it when it is evacuated or when occupants are taking shelter, for the purpose of centrolling access into the area.

2. Amateur Radio- Licensed volunteer radio amateur ecmmunications personnel affiliated with county emergency management organiza-tion. (Such organizations include Amateur Radio Emergenc Service (ARES), Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (yRACES),

4 Wheel Drive Clubs for Emergency Services, Civil Defense / Citizens Band, and Radio Emergency 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 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 ti.e 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 information 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 emergencies of any kind, whether from enemy attack, man-made or natural sources. (May be termed Emergency Preparedness.)
6. Emergency Operations Center (E0C) - 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 facility to facilitate offsite emergency planning and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.
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.

2 Rev. 0.1

a 

   ,    9. Incident - An incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes 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 in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L.1332 of 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descriptions of the four incident classes are as follows:

a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred 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 - Events are in process or have occurred 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 Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guide-line exposure levels.
c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 facility site boundary,

d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degrad-ation or melting with the potential for loss of contain-ment 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 routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation.
11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. ' Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby.
3 Rev. 0.1
12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis; including the prepositioning or movement of equipment or personnel.
13. Municipality - 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.
14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is physically located.
15. 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 expo-sure 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, topograhy, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.)
16. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
17. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. Some of the basic actions are:
a. Sheltering - Action taken by the public to take advan-tage of the protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radio-active plume.
b. General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire popu-lation 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.

4 Rev. 0.1 

 , 18. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by PEMA 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 provide accurate informa-tion, prevent panic and counteract misinformation and rumors.

Reference to the emergency incident itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about it.

19. Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) - Detailed response plans developed by the state and its agencies, county and municipal emergency management agencies, school districts, etc. in coordination with PEPA and the fixed nuclear facility.
20. 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.
21. Risk County - A county located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility.
22. Risk School- A school building located partially or wholly within the plume expsoure pathway EPZ of a fixed nuclear facility.
23. School Services Officer - An individual appointed by the Chester County DES who ensures the coordination of risk school plans for protective response and coordinates the alert / notification and resource requirements of risk schools at the time of the emergency incident. This individual provides staff assistance to the Chester County E0C and operates under the direction and control of the Chester County Department of Emergency Services (DES) Director.
24. Standby Status - The term used to describe state of readiness.

Standard operating procedures have been reviewed; materiel, communications and required supplies are available and adequate for initial operations; and sufficent personnel are on hand to commence operations. Augmentation personnel necessary for sustained operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called.

25. State of Disaster Emergency - A state of disaster emergency exists whenever the Governor issues a declaration of disas-ter 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 occur-rence or the threat of a disaster is imminent. The state 5 Rev. 0.1
     -             of disaster emergency continues until the Governor finds that          ,

the threat or danger has passed and terminates it by execu- i tive order or proclamation, but no state of disaster emer-gency 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 classifications of , Site Emergency and General Emergency. I

26. 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.
27. Traffic Control Points (TCP) - Those points established at critical road intersections for the purpose of controlling or limiting traffic.
28. Transportation Providers - Owners / operators, district vehicles and drivers and/or contract transportation resources provided for both routine (bus) movement of students, and any special transportation resource provided during emergency conditions.
29. Unmet Needs - Capabilities and/or resources required to support emergency operations neither available nor provided for at the respective levels of government or by the District.

E. Objectives of the Plan The plan is presented to:

1. Clarify lines of authority and establish responsibilities for the protection of students and staff.
2. Ensure that planned actions are in consonance with Municipal, ,

Chester County and State RERP's.

3. Identify necessary resources and required personnel to assure protective actions can be implemented for the Valley Forge Christian Academy population.
4. Provide the basis for orientation of Academy staff, students and parents / guardians regarding appropriate actions during fixed facility nuclear incidents.

II. BASIC PLAN A. General Because a number of school facilities are found within the approx-imate 10-mile plume expsoure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respec-6 Rev. 0.1 

   . tive RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school population can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among all school facilities, as well as with the state and risk county plans. Accordingly, the Valley Forge Christian Academy RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with other plans.

This plan is designed to protect students while attending any Academy function, including classroom and/or extracurricular activ-ities, special events or any function sponsored by the Academy. B. Direction and Coordination

1. The Headmaster shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by the Valley Forge

. Christian Academy and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

2. The Headmaster is responsible for all emergency plans and procedures assuring the safety of students and staff in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
3. The Headmaster coordinates with the Chester County DES for protective response to include the direction and control of evacaution and/or sheltering of students and staff and for the cancellation of school or special activities.
4. All students, school buildings, school equipment, staff and contracts will remain under the supervision and control the the Headmaster. The Headmaster's office will serve as the interfacing point in providing for administration, information/

resource exchange and management of school services, and in dealing with the Chester County DES and parents / guardians.

5. Academy staff are responsible to the Headmaster for building emergency plans, the coordination,of protective action within the building, and for the safety of students and staff in the event of incident at the Limerick Generating Station.

6.' Host school / facility services furnished by other school facilities shall be under the operational control of the supporting host school / facility.

7. Because of the multi-facility scope of a radiological emergency',

the need for centralized coordination of emergency response per-sonnel and resources becomes essential. For the purposes of this Plan, therefore, Chester County DES shall exercise responsi-bility for coordination and support.

8. The Chester County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, to which this document shall be annexed, shall govern implemen-tation of the Valley Forge Christian Academy RERP.

7 Rev. 0.1

9. Coordination between the Counties involved shall be accom-plished by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and be governed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Disaster Operations Plan, Annex E, Fixed Nuclear Facility Incidents.
10. School is in session during regular classroom / activity hours; when the authorized school calendar applies; when students are involved in regular Academy sponsored activities / events; or when students occupy Academy facilities under Academy super-vision.*
11. School not in session refers to after hours during the time of the authorized school calendar, including weekends. Special activities during extended vacation periods will be included if school facilities are occuppied by individuals or groups not authorized / sponsored by the Academy.*
12. This plan does not apply during vacation periods or when all school facilities are closed for extended periods. During these periods the Headmaster may be notified and decisions to extend closure / vacation may be coordinated with the Chester County DES and/or PEMA. Actions specified for " School Not in Session" will apply, as appropriate. All actions will be coordinated through the Chester County DES.
13. Students refer to individuals in grades Kindergarten (K) through Twelve (12), authorized pre-school program (s), or special education activities.
14. In no case will students be dismissed to their own care or school closed early if protective action is imminent. Academy officials will remain responsible for student safety until parents / guardians can assume responsibility.

C. Academy Organization An Organizational Chart for the Valley Forge Christian Academy is maintained on file at the Academy. D. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident Situation

1. Incidents occuring at the Limerick Generating Station will be classified according to the emergency classifications:

Unusual Event, Alert, Site 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.
                                      *A copy of the Academy calendar is attached (Reference Attachment 7) 8                                                         Rev. 0.1
3. County officials and school administration will initiate pro-tective actions including all those actions considered for the general population, requiring students and staff to either initiate sheltering actions or evacuate directly to designated host schools / facilities.

E. Alert / Notification System

1. Telecomunications Capability.

Chester County DES and the Valley Forge Christian Academy maintain an alert / notification procedure and a primary backup telecomunications system to provide for alert / notification and infonnation exchange during a fixed nuclear facility incident. The telecomunications system includes (unpublished) telephones located at the Chester County E0C and the Academy Headmaster's Office. Control is from the Chester County EOC. Published comercial telephone / ARES service backs up this system, and is utilized for confir-mation/ verification.

2. Notification of the Valley Forge Christian Academy.

In the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station, the Headmaster will be notified by the Chester County DES School Services Officer from the Chester County EOC. The Headmaster will notify appropriate staff as outlined within " Concepts of Operation."

3. Public Notification
a. When necessary, the public will be alerted through the public alert system as activated by Chester County DES.
b. To assure coverage, personnel and equipment from the County (Fire Departments) will be dispatched by the Chester County DES / municipalities to supplement this alerting procedure, in areas of poor coverage or where the public alert system has failed to operate.
c. Detailed instructions for protective actions will be made through the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). A school evacuation EBS message has been prepared (reference Attachment 5_).
4. Notification of Parents / Legal Guardians
a. Parents / legal guardians will be notified of Academy closing / reopening utilizing the normal Academy / media procedures - unless preempted by public alert /notifica-9 Rev. 0.1

tion procedures and/or an EBS annoucement outlining school protective action. All parental notifications will be coordinated with Chester County DES.

b. Informational material regarding plans for the protec-tion of school students in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station, descriptive of school closure, evacuation procedures and appropriate parent /

guardian response has been developed for annual distri-bution to parents / guardians as a cooperative effort of the Chester County DES, the Valley Forge Christian Academy and PEMA. F. School Closing / Cancellation of Events /Early Dismissal

1. If protective action becomes imminent while school is not in session, a decision will be made to close school or keep school closed. The decision will be made based on a recommendation made by PEMA, and received from the Chester County DES.

Parents / guardians and staff will be notified utilizing regular Academy procedures for school closing announcements. Note: Consideration for the closing of school may be made at Site and General Emergency.

2. Academy special activities, extracurricular events, sport contests, competitions, club meetings, class trips, etc. will be cancelled / terminated during Alert, Site Emergency, and General Emergency and resumed only at the termination of incident classification or reduction to Unusual Event.
3. Schools in session will not send children home early should a protective action or evacuation appear imminent or be in arogress. Regular dismissal policy / transportation routes will ae in effect unless preempted by parental notification from the Academy and/or a protective action recommendation from the Chester County DES.

G. Evacuation Concepts

1. Protective Action Option Evacuation is a protective action option which involves move-ment of the population from the plume exposure pathway EPZ.

It may be accomplished on a selective or general basis.

2. Authorization and Control
a. The Governor, or his constitutionally desigrated succes-sor, has the sole authority and responsibility for directing and compelling a selective or general evacua-tion.

10 Rev. 0.1

1

b. Elected county or municipal officials in authority may recommend an evacuation for their respective jurisdictions.
c. PEMA has the primary responsibility for directing and l controlling an evacuation order made by the Governor. i
d. A decision to evacuate risk municipalities (including I schools) will be made by PEMA and the decision will be announced by PEMA through the Chester County DES channels to school officials. Municipal EMA Coordintors will confirm the notification of school building officials in their jurisdiction.
e. The Valley Forge Christian Academy Headmaster has the authority to close schools at his discretion. During a fixed nuclear facility incident, the Chester County DES, must be kept informed of decisions to close school; as they will coordinate school closings among all schools and dispatch / provide needed transportation. School closing will be keyed to Phoenixville Area School District closing.
3. Logistics of Evacuation
a. If school evacuation is required, students lou ted within the EPZ will be bussed directly to host school facilities, to await pick-up by parent or guardian.
b. Transportation to host school facilities will be provided for all public, parochial and private school students.

Students will not be expected to utilize personal vehicles during evacaution. Academy policy for the use of private vehicles will apply,

c. Sufficient transportation will be provided to move all students inside the EPZ at one time. Transportation resources will be provided giving priority to schools nearest the Limerick Generating Station. Students will be moved to host school facilities as soon as transportation resources are available after evacuation is ordered.
d. Faculty / staff will accompany evacuated students to designated host school facilities in the buses or in their private vehicles , as available, and remain with students until they are picked up by parents / legal guardians in accordance with Valley Forge Christian Academy policy for student pick-up.
e. Students may be picked up by parent, legal guardian or designate as authorized in writing (See Attachment 4) in accordance with Academy policy.

11 Rev. 0.1

f. Should student pick-up extend beyond 8 p.m., remaining students may be bussed to Downingtown Area Senior High School, to be fed, properly housed and await pick-up. A notice will be posted at the host school facility to remind parents / guardians and direct them to the appro-priate locations, should any movement occur. (Note:

The Headmaster or Chester County DES may choose to have students remain at the host school facility, etc. should conditions dictate.)

4. Evacuation Support
a. State, county and municipal RERP's offer detailed plans to provide for evacuation routes, traffic control points manned by police, roadway clearance, access control points, security, and emergency fuel supply,
b. Specific agreements have been developed with West Chester University to act as a host school facility,
c. Specific material has been developed to provide parents /

guardians a detailed description of protective action procedures and host school facility locations. (reference Attachment 4)

5. Evacuation Transportation Resources
a. Valley Forge Christian Academy buses / vans and Chester County DES coordinated transporation vehicles (buses, vans, etc.) are provided for priority use by the Valley Forge Christian Academy to transport students / staff to the host school facility. Assignment of vehicles is detailed in Attachments 2 and 3.
b. Additional vehicle resources, as required will be planned for and provided through Chester County DES, as needed,
c. Sufficient transportation resources have been provided to move all students requiring evacuation at one time.
d. Upon completion of school evacuation assignments, vehicles utilized will be provided to Chester County DES for mutual aid assignment during evacuation.
e. Vehicles will be assigned for recall, as appropriate, to bus students from host schools to designated locations (at 8 p.m.) for feeding and sheltering, as provided for in this plan (reference Attachment 3).

12 Rev. 0.1

l l ATTACHMENT 4 Sample Letter VALLEY FORGE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

Dear Parent:

The Valley Forge Christian Academy has developed plans to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. Normally, the Academy will be closed before any protective actions are necessary, but in the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before school is closed, the Academy 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 Valley Forge Christian Academy, students will be safely bussed directly to a host school. The host school for the Academy is West Chester University Field House located in West Chester, PA. Parents or legal guardians are requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the host school building follow: White Horse Rd. to Rt. 29 South to Rt. 100 South to Route 322 Business South to West Chester University Campus. The Academy is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents / guard-ians be reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. The Academy requests that parents / guardians who want to pick-up students at school, when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent, remember that school driveways and access roads need to be kept open for buses. In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate student census. Therefore, Academy staff will remain with students awaiting pick-up and during evacuation, and the host school is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public. Please be patient and remember Academy , staff will remain with students until all students are picked-up. It is not necessary to rush, drive safely to the host school and your child will be waiting for you under the supervision of Academy staff. After 8 p.m., our host school may be closed and remaining students bussed to a designated location (mass care center) located at Downingtown Area Senior High School. At this facility, students will be provided shelter and food, awaiting parent / guardian arrival. The Red Cross operates this facility. Children will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior written arrangements have been made by completing the attached authorization form designating who can pick-up your child. A4-1 Rev. 0.1

Sample Letter , Should sheltering be recommended, your child will be sheltered at the school. If dismissal is dalayed, you will be notified by radio, as you would during a snow emergency, etc. Do not attempt to pick up your child during sheltering, as it is vital to stay inside. In order to insure the safety of the Academy students, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents. Sincerely, Mr. Charles Johnson Headmaster A4-2 Rev. 0.1

TAB 1 TO ATTACHMENT 4 AUTHORIZATION FOR STUDENT PICK-UP VALLEY FORGE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY I hereby authorize that may be picked up, for early Student's name dismissal or during evacuation, by: myself only, name of parent / legal guardian myself or my spouse, name of spouse by name of f riend/ relative Academy officials should not release my child to anyone else unless proper authorization is received from me. I can be reached at the numbers provided below. Thank you Date signature of parent / legal guardian Telephone: (work) (home) A4-1-1 Rev. 0.1

ATTACHMENT 5 SCHOOL EVACUATION EBS ANNOUNCEMENT The following meesage has been released by the Chester County Department of Emergency Services. It supplements instructions given to the public rela-tive to the general evacuation announcement for the approximate ten-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station. 

 " Parents with children attending school within a ten-mile area of the Limerick Generating Station are advised that their children will be eva-cuated to a safe location where they can be reunited with their parents or guardians. Chi.1dren will be bused to safe locations at host schools out-side the risk area. Parents are asked to meet their children there. I repeat, children will be bused directly to safe locations at host schools outside the risk area where parents or guardians may pick them up. Parents or guardians are urged to go directly to the host schools. Attempting to pick them up at the schools they attend might interfere with their safe evacuation.

Children attending Chester County schools within the 10-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station will be bused to locations where they can be picked up. Please refer to the information provided by your child's school that highlights these host schools and pick up procedures. Parents are urged not to telephone or to go the school that their children are attending inside the ten-mile radius of the plant. This will only create confusion. Parents are to meet their children at the assigned host schools. I repeat, parents are urged not to telephone or to go to the school that their children are attending inside the approximate ten-mile area, but to meet their children at assigned host schools. If your child attends a school outside the ten-mile radius, you may pick up your child at that school. . These host schools will remain open until 8 p.m. After 8 p.m., your child will be transferred to an announced location to await pickup. The preceding has been an announcement by the Chester County Department of Emergency Services giving parents instructions on where to meet their children who are attending school in the approximate ten-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station." (Repeat this message one time then end transmission.) (This message will be broadcast along with the General Evacuation announce-ment when instructions are given by the Department of Emergency Services to do so.) AS-1 Rev. 0.1

D. Definitions

1. Access Control Point (ACP) - Those points manned primarily by State or local police, augmented when necessary by the National Guard, established around the perimeter of the EPZ on roads leading into it when it is evacuated or when occupants are taking shelter, for the purpose of controlling access into the area.

4 2. Amateur Radio- Licensed volunteer radio amateur communi-

cations personnel affiliated with county emergency management l organization. (Such organizations include Amateur Radio
Emergency Service (ARES), Radio Amateur Civil Emergency a Services (RACES), 4 Wheel Drive Clubs for Emergency Services, l Civil Defense / Citizens Band, and Radio Emergency Action

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 announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from the County Commissioners, or their designated official repre-l sentative, to the permanent and transient residents of the

county. Announcements are made over the legally designated a EBS network. EBS announcements at the State level are made i 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 information statements.

!. 5. Emercency Management - The judicious planning, assignment and i coorcination of all available resources in an integrated i program of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and < l recovery for emergencies of any kind, whether from enemy l attack, man-made or natural sources. (May be termed Emer-i gency Preparedness.) 1

6. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) - A facility used by state,
county or municipal governments from which to direct oper-ations in the event of an emergency.

l 

;.                  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                                 i the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.

t 2

1 

 ~
8. Host School / Facility - Predetermined schools / facilities l 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 incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes 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 in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descriptions of the four incident classes are as follows:

a. Unusual Events - Events are process or have occurred which indicate 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 - Events are in process or have occurred which IiivoTve o 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 - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 site boundary.

d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or iminent 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 imediate site area boundaries.
10. Main Evacuation Routes - Those roadways identified in state and risk county plans as the routes leading from the plume i exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation.

3

11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby.
12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff, depart-ment, or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis; including the prepositioning or movement of equipment or personnel. -
13. Municipality - 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.
14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is physically located.
15. 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.)
16. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid.or reduce a 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. Selective Evacuation - The evacuation of specific elements of the population, such as pregnant women, pre-school children or the infirm.
c. General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire population within a specified geographic area.

4

17. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
18. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by PEMA 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 provide accurate infor-mation, prevent panic and counteract misinformation and rumors. Reference to the emergency incident itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about it.
19. Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) - Detailed response plans developed by the state and its agencies, county and municipal emergency management agencies, school districts, etc. in coordination with PEMA and the fixed nuclear facility.
20. 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.
21. Risk County A county located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility.
22. Risk School- A school building located partially or wholly within the plume expsoure pathway EPZ of a fixed nuclear facility.
23. School Services Officer - An individual appointed by the Montgomery County OEP who ensures the coordination of risk school plans for protective response and coordinates the alert / notification and resource requirements of risk schools at the time of the emergency incident. This individual provides staff assistance to the County EOC and operates under the direction and control of the Montgomery County .
24. Standby Status - The term used to describe state of readi-ness. Standard operating procedures have been reviewed; materiel, comunications and required supplies are available and adequate for initial operations; and sufficent personnel are on hand to commence operations. Augmentation personnel necessary for sustained operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called.
25. 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 exe-cutive order or a proclamation of the Governor at any time upon finding that a disaster has occurred or that the occur-5

rence or the threat or danger has passed and terminates it by executive order or proclamation, but no state of disaster emergency may continue for longer that 90 days unless renewed by the Governor. The term " state of disaster emergency" is not to be confused with the incident class-ifications of Site Emergency.

26. 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.
27. Traffic Control Points (TCP) - Those points established at critical road intersections for the purpose of controlling or limiting traffic. ,
28. Transportation Providers - Owners / operators, district vehicles and drivers and/or contract transportation resources provided for both routine (bus) movement of students, and any special transportation resource provided during emergency conditions.
29. Unmet Needs - Capabilities and/or resources required to support emergency operations neither available nor provided for at the respective levels of government or by the District.

E. Objectives of the Plan The plan is presented to:

1. Clarify lines of authority and establish responsibilities for the protection of students and staff.
2. Ensure that planned actions are in consonance with Municipal, County and State RERP's.
3. Identify necessary resources and required personnel to assure protective actions can be implemented for the Children's House of Northern Chester County.
4. Provide the basis for orientation of Facility staff, students and families regarding appropriate actions during fixed nuclear facility incidents.

II. BASIC PLAN A. General Because a number of school facilities are found within the approximate 10-mile plume expsoure pathway EPZ of the Limerick 6

Generating Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respectvie RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school population can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among all school facilities, as well as with the state and risk county plans. Accordingly, the Children's House of Northern Chester County RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with other plans. This plan is designed to protect students while attending any Facility function, including classroom and/or extracurricular activities, special events or any function sponsored by the Children's House of Northern Chester County. B. Direction and Coordination

1. The Administrator shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by the Children's House of Northern Chester County and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
2. The Administrator is responsible for all emergency plans and procedures affecting the safety of students and staff in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.

Facility staff may assume responsiblity for actions to protect the students in attendance.

3. The Administrator coordinates with the Chester County Depart-ment of Emergency Services (DES) for protective response to include the direction and control of evacaution and/or sheltering of students .and staff and for the cancellation of school or special activities.
4. All students, facilities, equipment, staff and contracts will remain under the supervision and control the Administrator.

The Administrator will assume the responsibility for dealing with the DES and student / families.

5. Staff are responsible to the Administrator for the coor-dination of protective action within the facility, and for the safety of students and staff in the event of incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
6. Host school / facility services furnished by other school facilities shall be under the operational control of the supporting host school / facility.
7. Because of the multi-facility scope of a radiological emer-gency, the need for centralized coordination of emergency response personnel and resources becomes essential. For the purposes of this RERP, therefore, Chester County DES shall exercise responsibility for coordination and support.

8. The Chester County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, to l which this document shall be annexed shall govern imple- I mentation of the Children's House of Northern Chester County RERP.

. 9. Coordination between the Counties involved shall be accom-plished by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and be governed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, , i Disaster Operations Plan, Annex E, Fixed Nuclear Facility l Incidents.

10. School is in session during regular classroom / activity hours when the authorized facility calendar applies; when students are involved in regular facility sponsored activities / events; or when students occupy facilities under facility admin-istrative supervision.*
11. School not in session refers to after hours during the time
                                                .of the authorized facility calendar, including w akends.

Special activities during extended vacation periods will be

included if school / church facilities are occuppied by individuals or groups authorized / sponsored by the Children's House of Northern Chester County.*
12. This plan does not apply during extended vacation periods or when all facilities are closed for extended periods. During these periods the Administrator may be notified and decisions to extend closure / vacation may be coordinated with the Chester County DES and/or PEMA. Actions specified for
                                                 " School Not in Session" will apply, as appropriate. The facility staff will be notified by the Administrator, as

, appropriate. t

13. Students refer to individuals in grades Kindergarten (K) through Twelve (12), or authorized pre-school program (s).
14. In no case will students be dismissed to their own care if l

orotective action is iminent. Children's House of Northern Chester County administration will remain responsible for student safety until parents / guardians can assume responsibil ! ity. 1 . C. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident Situation l 1. Incidents occuring at the Limerick Generating Station will be classified according to the incident classifications: j Unusual Event, Alert, Site Emergency, General Emergency. l l 

                                   *A Children's House of Northern Chester County calendar is attached (reference Attachment 6).

4. Notification of Families
a. Families will be notified of facility closing / reopening utilizing the normal media procedures and/or a telephone call from the Children's House of Northern Chester County - unless preempted by public alert / notification procedures and/or an EBS annoucement outlining school evacuation or protective action. All parental announce-ments will be coordinated with Chester County DES.

School closing is keyed to the Owen J. Roberts School District.

b. Informational material regarding plans for the pro-tection of school students in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station, descriptive of school closure, evacuation procedures and appropriate parent / guardian response has been developed for annual distribution to parents / guardians as a cooperative effort of the Chester County DES, the Children's House of Northern Chester County.

E. School Closing / Cancellation of Events /Early Dismissal 1.- If an evacuation becomes imminent while school is not in session, a decision will be made to close school or keep schools closed. The decision will be made based on a recom-mendation made by PEMA, and received from the Chester County DES. Families and staff will be notified utilizing regular procedures for school closing announcements. Note: Consideration for the closing of school may be made at Site and General Emergency.

2. Special activities, events, trips, etc., will be cancelled /

terminated during Alert, Site Emergency, and General Emer-gency and resumed only at the termination of incident classification or reduction to Unusual Event.

3. Schools in session will not send children home early should a protective action appear imminent or be in progress.

Regular dismissal policy / transportation routes will be in effect unless preempted by parental notification from the Children's House of Northern Chester County requesting that students be picked up by parents, guardians, etc., and/or a protective action recommendation from the Chester County DES. During sheltering, subsequent half-day sessions are auto-matica11y cancelled. F. Evacuation Concepts

Dear Parent:

The Children's House of Northern Chester County has developed plans to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. Normally, the Children's House of Northern Chester County will be closed before any protective actions are necessary, but in the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before school is closed, has plans for accomplishing required protective actions have been developed. 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 Children's House of Northern Chester County, students will be safely bussed directly to a host school. The host school is Twin Valley School District located in an area approximately 2 miles north of Morganton. Parents or legal guardians are requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the host school building follow: To Twin Valley Elementary Center: Rt. 401 West to Route 23 West to High School Complex (Twin Valley Road) I am concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that families be reunited as quickly and conveniently as possible. To limit the number of students who would need to be evacuated, the Children's House of Northern Chester County requests that parents / guardians who want to pick-up students at the Church when an evacuation appears imenent, and have been notified by Administration, proceed to the Church and pick-up their child at the main entrance. If you cannot pick up your child, remember staff will remain with students awaiting pick-up and during evacuation, and the host school is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public. Please be patient and remember that our staff will remain with students until all students are picked-up. When evacuation is ordered, it is not necessary to rush to the School, drive safely to the host school and your child will be waiting for you. After 8 p.m., our host school will be closed and remaining students bussed to a designated location (mass care center) located at [owningtown Senior High School. At this facility, students will be provided shelter and food, awaiting your arrival. The Red Cross operates this facility. Children will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior written arrangements have been made by completing the student emergency card. A3-1

I 1 If sheltering is recommended, your child will be sheltered in our church facility, just as you will shelter at home. Please do not attempt to pick-up your child during sheltering, as it is prudent to stay inside. If sheltering delays dismissal, you will be notified by radio or telephone. In order to insure the safety of the students I urgently request the cocperation of all parents. Sincerely, Caryl Ann Cooper Administrator A3-2

The following message has been released by the Chester County Department of Emergency Ser. vices. It supplements instructions given to the public relative to the general evacuation annuncement for the approximate ten-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station. 

        " Parents with children attending school within a ten-mile area of the Limerick Generating Station are advised that their children will be evacuated to a safe location where they can be reunited with their parents or guardians.

Children will be bused to safe locations at host schools outside the risk area. Parents are asked to meet their children there. I repeat, children will be bused directly to safe locations at host schools outside the risk area where parents or guardians may pick them up. Parents or guardians are urged to go directly to the host schools. Attempting to pick them up at the schools they attend might interfere with their safe evacuation. Children attending Chester County schools within the 10-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station will be bused to locations where they can be picked up. ( Please refer to the information provided by your child's school that highlights these host schools and pick up procedures. Parents are urged not to telephone or to go to the school that their children are attending inside the ten-mile radius of the plant. This will only create confusion. Parents are to meet their children at the assigned host schools. I repeat, parents are urged not to telephone or to go to the school that their children are attending inside the approximate ten-mile area, but to meet their children at assigned host schools. If your child attends a school outside the ten-mile radius, you may pick up your child at that school. These host schools will remain open until 8 p.m. After 8 p.m., your child will be transferred to an announced location to await pickup. The preceding has been an announcement by the Chester County Department of Emergency Services giving parents instructions on where to meet their children who are attending school in the approximate ten-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station." (Repeat this message one time'then end transmission.)

Incident - An incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes have been identified; from the least serious to the most serious they are: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Emergency and General Emergency. (Note: Wor General Emergency classifications are not to be confused with a " Declaration of Disaster Emergency" made by the Governor in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. (Note: Recommended actions by school offi-cials are indicated.) Descriptions of the four incident classes are as follows:

a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred which indicates actual or potential substantial degrada-tion 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. The school will not be notified of Unusual Events. ,
b. Alert - Events are in process or have occurred which TiivoTve 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. School special activities will be cancelled during Alert.
c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or ,likely major failures of facil-ity functions needed for the protection of the public.

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 9 Because a number of school districts are found within the approx-imate 10-mile plume exposure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Gener-ating Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respectvie RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school popu-lation can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among all districts, as well as with the. state and risk county RERP's. Accordingly, the Pottstown School District RERP has been developed in such a mannet that it will function harmoni-ously 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. B.

WYNDCROFT SCHOOL RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN I. INTRODUCTION A. Authority The authority for the preparation of this plan is the Wyndcroft School Administration and is within the scope of P.L. 1332, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Services Act of 1978. B. Purpose This plan is presented to establish responsibilities, define a concept of operations, offer workable procedures for the protec-tion of school students and provide for the direction and control of Wyndcroft School facilities, staff, and students in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. C. References

D. Definitions

1. Access Control Point (ACP) - Those points manned primarily by State or local police, augmented when necessary by the National Guard, established around the perimeter of the EPZ on roads leading into it when it is evacuated or when 1 Rev. O i
                ~

B f occupants are taking shelter, for the purpose of controlling access into the area.

2. Amateur Radio- Licensed volunteer radio amateur communica-tions personnel affiliated with county emergency management organization. (Such organizations include Amateur Radio Service (ARES), Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Emergency Services (RACES), 4 Wheel Drive Clubs for Emergency Services, Civil Defense / Citizens Band, and Radio Emergency 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 announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from the County Commissioners, or their designated official represen-tative, to the permanent and transient residents of the county. Announcements 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 information statements.
5. Emercency Management - The judicious planning, assignment and coorc.ination 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. (May be termed Emergen-cy Preparedness.)
6. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) - A facility used by state, county or municipal governments from which to direct opera-tions in the event of an emergency.
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.
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 incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes 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 in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descrip-tions of the four incident classes are as follows:
a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred which indicate 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 - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 Envi-ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) pr'otective action guideline exposure levels,
c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of facili-ty 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 facility site boundary.

d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation.
11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby.

3 Rev. 0

i

12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis; including the prepositioning or movement of equipment or personnel.
13. Municipality - 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.
14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is physically located.
15. 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 expo-sure 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.)
16. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
17. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. Some of the basic actions are:
a. Sheltering - Action taken by the public to take advan-tage of the protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radio-active plume.
b. General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire population within a specified geographic area.
c. Selective Evacuation - The evacuation of specific elements of the population, such as pregnant wcmen, pre-school children or the infirm.

4 4 Rev. 0

l

18. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by PEMA 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.

II. BASIC PLAN A. General Because a number of school facilities are found within the approx-imate 10-mile plume expsoure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generat-ing Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respectvie RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school 6 Rev. 0

population can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among all school facilities, as well as with the state I and risk county plans. Accordingly, the Wyndcroft School RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with other RERP's. 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. B. Direction and Coordination 

         .1. The Administrator shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by the Wyndcroft School and the laws of the Comonwealth of Pennsylvania.

WYNDCROFT SCHOOL

Dear Parent:

The Wyndcroft School has developed plans to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. Nonnally, school will be closed before any protective actions are necessary, but in i the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before schools are i closed, the Wyndcroft School has plans for accomplish-ing any required protec-tive actions. To make the plans effective, we need your cooperation. I In the event of a nuclear incident at the Limerick Generating Station that would require the protective evacuation of the Wyndcroft School, stu-dents will be safely bussed directly to a host school. The host school for our School is The Swain School, located in the Allentown area approxi-mately 25 miles north of Pottstown. Parents or legal guardians are requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the j host school building follow: Rt. 100 N to Rt. 29 N to Hamilton Avenue to 24th Street South. The Wyndcroft School is concerned that any evacuation be safe and j orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents / guardians be reunited with students as quickly and conven- ! i-ently as possible. Remember, it is important that school driveways and l access roads be kept open for buses.* In addition, while preparing to eva-cuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a cur-rent and accurate i student census. Therefore, school staff will remain with students during l evacuation and the host school is located along predetermined evacuation ! routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public. Please be patient and remember school staff will remain with students until all students are picked-up. The host school will be opened, if evacuation is ordered, for all students still in the custody of school officials. 1 l After 8 p.m., our host school will be closed and remaining students bussed to a designated location (mass care center) located at Catasauqua Area Senior High School. At this facility, students will be provided l shelter and food, awaiting parent / guardian arrival. The Red Cross operates this facility. Children will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless l l prior written arrangements have been made. Please complete the attached form, designating who can pick-up your child, and have the child return the form to school. 

                       *!f you must pick your child up at the Wyndcroft School, please park in the
;                                              area and use the                               entrance.

l A4-1 Rev. 0 l _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . . _ _ _'._ _

r If sheltering is recommended, school students will be sheltered in our school building. Please do not attempt to pick-up your child during shelter-ing - as it is vital to stay inside. If dismissal is delayed, you will be notified by radio or telephone, as during a snow emergency, etc. In order to insure the safety of the Wyndcroft School students, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents. Sincerely, Mr. Gerard P. McGrath Administrator A4-2 Rev, O l l l

D. Definitions

1. Access Control Point (ACP) - Those points manned primarily by State or local police, augr.ented when necessary by the National Guard, established around the perimeter of the EPZ 1 l 1

on roads leading into the when it is evacuated, when occupants are taking shelter, for the purpose of controlling access into the area.

2. Amateur Radio- Licensed volunteer radio amateur communi-cations personnel affiliated with county emergency management organization. (Such organizations include Amateur Radio Emergency Services (Service (ARES), Radio Amateur Civil Eme Civil Defense / Citizens Band, and Radio Emergency 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 Commissioners, or their designated official repre-sentative, to the permanent and transient residents of the county. Announcements are made over the legally designated EBS network. EBS announcements at the State level are made Priorities for EBS only when they are applicable statewide.

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 information statements. ,

5. Emercency Management - The judicious planning, assignment and
           'c oorcination 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. (May be termed Emer-gency Preparedness.)
6. Emergency Operations Center (E0C) - A facility used by state, county or municipal governments from which to direct oper-ations in the event of an emergency.
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.
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.  ;

2 1

r

9. Incident - An incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes 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 in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of - 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descriptions of the four incident classes are as follows:

a. Unusual Events.- Events are in process or have occurred which indicate 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 - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 Envi-ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action gcideline exposure levels.
c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 site boundary.

d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred involve actual or inminent 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 routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation.
11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby.

3 L

o ,

12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis; including the prepositioning or movement of equipment or personnel.
13. Municipality - 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.

14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is physically located.
15. 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 approximatley 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, topgraphy, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.)
16. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals codld potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
17. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. Some of the basic actions are:
a. Sheltering - Action taken by the public to take advan-tage of the protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radio-active plume,
b. General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire population 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.

II. BASIC PLAN A. General Because a number of school facilities are found within the approx-imate 10-mile plume exposure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station, all of which might be expected to implement . their respective RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school - population can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among all school facilities, as well as with the State and Risk County Plans. Accordingly, the Pine Forge S.D.A. Elementary School RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with these plans and with a similar plan developed by the Pine Forge Academy. 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. B. Direction and Coordination

1. The Principal shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by the Pine Forge S.D.A. Elementary School Board and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
2. The Principal is responsible for all school emergency plans and procedures, assuring the safety of students and staff in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. #
3. The Principal coordinates with the Berks County Emergency Management Agency for protective response to include the direction and control of evacaution and/or sheltering of students and staff; and for the cancellation of school or special activities.
4. All students, facilities, equipment, staff and contracts will remain under the supervision and control the the Principal.

The Principal's office will serve as the interfacing point in providing for administration, information/ resource exchange and management of school services.

9. Incident - An incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and i

' safety. Four(4)incidentclasseshavebeenidentified; 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 in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descriptions of the four incident classes are as follows:

a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of i safety of the facility. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. ,

l b. Alert - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 Envir-onmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action i guideline exposure levels.

c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of l 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 site boundary.
d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial t

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. t'ie routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evac'.ation. l 11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing i emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily ! homeless. Feedingmaybedonewithinamasscarecenter(in , suitable dining facilities) or nearby. 3 Rev. 1 . 4

12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis, including the prepositioning or movement of equipment or personnel.

13. Municipality - 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 Comonwealth of Pennsylvania.

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

15. Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear f acility 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.)
16. _ Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.

17. Protectivedose projected Action of -radiation. An action taken to avoid or reduce a 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 within a specified geographic area,
c. Selective Evacuation - The evacuation of specific elements BTW population, such as pregnant women, pre-school children or the infirm.

4 Rev. 1 . 6 m

18. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by PEMA 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 provide accurate infor-mation, prevent panic and counteract misinfonnation and rumors. Reference to the emergency incident itself will b,e made only in the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about it.
19. Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) - Detailed response plans developed by the state and its agencies, county and municipal emergency management agencies, school districts, etc. in coordination with PEMA and the fixed nuclear facility.
20. 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.
21. Risk County - A county located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility.
22. Risk School Building - A school building located partially or wholly within the plume expsoure pathway EPZ of a fixed nuclear facility.
23. School Services Officer - An individual appointed by the Montgomery County OEP who ensures the coordination of risk school plans for protective response and coordinates the alert / notification and resource requirements of risk schools at the time of the emergency incident. This individual provides staff assistance to the County EOC and operates under the direction and control of the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Preparedness Director / Coordinator.
24. Standby Status - The term used to describe state of read-iness. Standard operating procedures have been reviewed; materiel, communications and required supplies are available and adequate for initial operations; and sufficent personnel are on hand to commence operations. Augmentation personnel necessary for sustained operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called.
25. 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 exe-cutive order or proclamation of the Governor at any time upon finding that a disaster has occurred or that the occurrence of the threat of a disaster is iminent. The state of 5 Rev. 1 ,

Chapel Christian Academy

Dear Parent:

The Chapel Christian Academy has developed plans to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. Normally, the Academy will be closed before any protective actions are necessary, but in the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before schools are closed, the Academy 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 Chapel Christian Academy, students will be safely bussed directly to a host facility. The host facility for our Academy is Calvary Baptist Church School (Lansdale) located at the intersection of Route 363 and 63 south of Lansdale. Parents or legal guardians are requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the host building follow: Calvary Baptist Church: Old Rt. 422 E (Germantown Pike) to Rt. 363 North The Academy is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents / guardians be reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. The Academy requests that parents / guardians who must pick-up students at school when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent, remember that school driveways and access roads need to be kept open for buses. In addition, while prepc ing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate student census. Students must be picked-up in the bus room. Remember, Academy staff will accompany students during evacuation, the host church facility is located along predetermined evacu-ation routes and close to the normal mass care centers for the general public. Academy staff will remain with students until all students are picked up. It is not necessary to rush, drive safely to the host facility and your child will be waiting for you under the supervision of Academy staff. After 8 p.m., our host facility will be closed and remaining students bussed to a designated location (mass care center) located at North Penn Senior High School. At this center, students will be provided shelter and food, awaiting parent / guardian arrival. The Red Cross operates this facility. Children will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior written arrangements have been made. Please complete the attached form, (or emergency card) designating who can pick-up your child and have the child return the form to the Academy. A4-1 Rev. 1 _ _ _ _ .M

If sheltering is recommended, students will be sheltered in the Academy building. Do not attempt to pick-up your child during a shelter advisory as it is vital to stay inside during sheltering. If dismissal is delayed, you will be notified by radio, as during a snow emergency, etc. In order to insure the safety of the Chapel Christian Academy students, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents. , Since~ rely, Mr. George L. Horrocks Administrator i l j A4-2 Rev. 1 . I l' LL. .

9. Incident - An incident is an event or condition at a nuclear I facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes 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 in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978.) Within
       . each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected.

Descriptions of the four incident classes are as follows:

a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred 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 - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guideline exposure levels.
c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 site boundary.
d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred 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 routes leading from the plume.

exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation.

11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby.

3 M

12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis; including the prepositioning or movement of equipment or personnel.
13. Municipality - 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.
14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is physically located.
15. 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 expo-sure 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 mil.es 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.)
16. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
17. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. Some of the basic actions are:
a. Sheltering - Action taken by the public to take advan-tage of the protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radio-

, active plume.

b. General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire popu-lation 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.

NOTE: MODEL LETTER TO PARENTS MONTESSORI ACADEMY OF PA

Dear Parent:

The Montessori Academy of PA has developed plans to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. Normally, the Academy will be closed before any protective actions are neces-sary, but in the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before school is closed, the Academy has plans for accomplishing any required pro-tective actions. To make the plans effective, we need your cooperation. In the event of a nuclear incident at the Limerick Generating Stat 1on that would require the protective evacuation of the Montessori Academy of PA, students will be safely bussed directly to a host school. The host school for our School is Kutztown Area Elementary School located in Kutztown. Parents or legal guardians will be requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the host school building follows: Rt. 562N to Second Ave. Left on Second Ave. to Rt. 73W to Rt. 662N to Business Rt. 222N to Constitution Ave. The Academy is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents / guardians be reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. The Academy requests that parents / guardians who want to pick-up students at school when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent, remember that school driveways and access roads need to be kept open for buses. In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate school census. Please be patient and remember that Academy staff will remain with students awaiting pick-up and during evacuation, the host school is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public, and Academy staff will remain with students until all students are picked-up. If evacua-tion is ordered, it is not necessary to rush to the Academy. Drive safely to the host school and your child will be waiting for you under the super-vision of Academy staff. After 8 p.m., our host school will be closed and remaining students bussed to a designated location (mass care center) located at . At this facility, students will be provided shelter and food, awaiting parent / guardian arrival. The Red Cross operate this facility. Children 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 child and have the child return the form to the Academy. A4-1

If sheltering is recommended, Academy students will be sheltered in our school building. Please do not attempt to pick up your child during shelter-ing - as it is vital to stay inside. If dismissal is delayed, you will be notified by radio or telephone, as during a snow emergency. When sheltering is in effect, subsequent half-day school sessions are automatically cancelled. Do not attempt or expect to send or bring your child to school, stay inside. In order to insure the safety of the Academy's students, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents. Sincerely, Ms. Barbara F. Broadbent Administrator A4-2 6

D. Definitions

1. Access Control Point (ACP) - Those points manned primarily by State or local police, augmented when necessary by the National Guard, established around the perimeter of the EPZ on all roads leading into it when it is evacuated or when occupants are tak-ing shelter, for the purpose of controlling access into the area.

1 m

2. Amateur Radio- Licensed volunteer radio amateur communications personnel affiliated with county emergency management organiza-tion. (Such or Service (ARES)ganizations
                            , Radio Amateur include  Amateur Radio Civil Emergency       Emergency Services (RACES),

4 Wheel Drive Clubs for Emergency Services, Civil Defense / Citizens Band, and Radio Emergency Action Teams (REACT).

3. Central Resource Receiving Point - A predesignated locatio'n -

outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ, suitable for the reception and distribution of supplies and equipment.

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 information statements.

C. 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.      (May be termed Emergency Preparedness.)
6. Emergency Operations 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 facility to facilitate offsite errergency planning and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.
8. Host School / Facility - Fredetermined 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 incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes 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 2

e w w 

         " Declaration of Disaster Emergency" made by the Governor in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978). Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descrip-tions of the four incident classes are as follows:
a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred -

which indicates a potential degradation of the level ~of - safety of the facility. No releases of radioactive mater-ial requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

b. Alert - Events are in process or have occurred which invofve actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the facility. Any releases are expec-ted to be limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guideline exposure levels,
c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of facility functions needed for the protection of the public. Radio-active releases are not expected to exceed the EPA 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 i .egrity. Releases can reasonably be 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 routes leading from the plume-exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation.
11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby.
12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis; including the prepositioning or movement of equipment or personnel.
13. Municipality - 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.

3 M

1 l l

14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is physically located.
15. 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 i _ 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 a 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.

16. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
17. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a 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 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.
13. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by PEMA or county official spokesper:ons 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 misinformation and rumors. Reference to the emergency incident itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about it.
19. Radiological Emeroency Response Plans (RERP) - Detailed response i

i plans developed by the state and its agencies, county and municipal emergency management agencies, school districts, etc. in coordination with PEMA and the fixed nuclear facility. 4 O M

WAYSIDE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Dear Parent:

The Wayside Christian School has developed plans to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. - Normally, the School will be closed before any protective actions are neces- - sary, but in the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before school is closed, the School has plans for accomplishing any required pro-tective 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 Wayside Christian School, students will be safely bussed directly to a host facility. The host facility for our School is the Administrator's, Mr. Paul Kulp's, home, located in an area approximately I mile ESE of Pikeville. Parents or legal guardians will be requested to pick up their children at the host facility. Directions to the Administrator's home follow:

Swienhart Road to Second Avenue to Rt. 73W to Club Road. The 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 students as quickly and conveniently as possible. The School requests that parents / guardians who want to pick-up students at school when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent, remember that school driveways and access roads need to be kept open for buses. In addi-tion, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate school census. Please be patient and remember that School staff will remain with students awaiting pick-up and during evacuation, the Administrator's home is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public. School staff will remain with students until all students are picked-up. It is not necessary to rush to the School af ter evacuation is ordered; drive safely to the Administrator's home and your child will be waiting for you under the supervision of School staff. Students awaiting pickup will be provided shelter and food. Children will'only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior arrangements have been made. If you want to designate someone who can pick-up your child, notify our office. If the School is requested to shelter, we will safely shelter students inside our school buildings. Do not attempt to pick-up students during sheltering - as it is important that they remain inside our school buildings until the sheltering advisory is suspended. If dismissal is delayed, you will be notified as during any other emergency. A4-1 

                                                                                   ~

4 l l In order to insure the safety of the School's students, I fully expect the cooperation of all parents. Sincerely, Mr. Paul Kulp Administrator i s 6 s a i L 4 l l 4

l l ATTACHMENT 5 SCHOOL EVACUATION EBS ANNOUNCEMENT The following message has been released by the Berks County Emergency Management Agency. It supplements instructions given to the public relative to the general evacuation announcement for an approximate ten-mile radius around the Limerick Generating Station. 

                                      " Parents with children attending school within a ten-mile radius of the Limerick Generating Station are advised that their children are subject to a separate evacuation plan while school is in session. Children will be bused directly to schools outside the risk area. Parents are to meet their children at designated host schools located outside the emergency zone. I repeat, children will be bused directly to schools outside the risk area where parents are to meet their children. Parents are not to report to their children's school.

Parents of school chil.dren who live within an approximate ten-mile radius of the Limerick Generating Station and whose children attend schools beyond that distance are advised that their children will be cared for at their own school until they can be picked up. Children attending schools within the risk area of Berks County will be bused to the following location where they can be picked up: All students of the Boyertown Area School District attending the following buildings will be bused to Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in Kutztown. Boyertown Area Senior High Boyertown Area Junior High East Boyertown Area Junior High West Lincoln School Special Education Students All students of the Boyertown Area School District attending the following buildings will be bused to Kutztown Junior High School / Kutztown Elementary School in Kutztown: Lincoln School Head Start Students Boyertown Elementary School Colebrookdale Elementary School AS-1

t e LINCOLN SCHOOL RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN I. INTRODUCTION A. Authority [ The authority for the preparation of this plan is the Lincoln School Administration and is within the scope of P. L. 1332, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Services Act of 1978. B. Purpose This plan is presented to establish responsibilities, define a concept of operations, offer workable procedures for the pro-tection of students and provide for the direction and control of School facilities, staff, and students in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. C. References

D. Definitions

1. Access Control Point (ACP) - Those points manned primarily by State or local police, augmented when necessary by the National Guard, established around the perimeter of the EPZ 1

on roads leading into it when it is evacuated, or when occupants are taking shelter, for the purpose of controlling access into the area.

2. Amateur Radio- Licensed volunteer radio amateur communications personnel affiliated with county emergency management organiza-tion. (Such organizations include Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), Radio Amateur Civi Emergency Services (RACES),

4 Wheel Drive Clubs for Emergency Services, Civil Defense / Citizens Band, and Radio Emergency 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 announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from the County Commissioners, or their designated official repre-
      .sentat.ive, to the permanent and transient residents of the county. Announcements 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 information statements.
5. Emercency Management - The judicious planning, assignment and coorc;ination 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. (May be termed Emer-gency Preparedness.)
6. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) - A facility used by state, county or municipal governments from which to direct operations in the event of an emergency.
7. Emdrgency 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.
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 2

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

9. Incident - An incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes 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 classification are not to be confused with a " Declaration of Disaster Emergency" made by the Governor in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency respon:;es necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descriptions of the four incident classes are as follows:

a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred which indicate 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 . Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 Envi-ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guideline exposure levels.
c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 site boundary,
d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have

, occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial 

                      # core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can reasonably by expected to exceed EPA protectivp 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 routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation.

3

11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in suitablediningfacilities)ornearby.
12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a .

24-hour basis including the prepositioning or movement of ' . _ equipment or personnel.

13. Municipality - 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.
14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is physically located.
15. 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.
16. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
17. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. Some of the basic actions are:
a. Sheltering - Action taken by the public to take advan- ,

tage of the protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radioactive plume,

Dear Parent:

The Lincoln School has developed plans to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. Normally, the School will be closed before aay protective actions are necessary, but in the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before school is closed, the School has plans for accomplishing any required protective actions. To make the plans effective, we need the cooperation of all parents. In the event of a nuclear incident at the Limerick Generating Station that would require the protective evacuation of the Lincoln School, students will be safely bussed directly to a host facility. The host facility for the Lincoln School is the (Kutztown University Keystone Hall Wrestling Room 

  - or Kutztown Elementary School (Head Start Only), located approximately 10 miles north of Boyertown. Parents or legal guardians are requested to pick up their children at the host facility building. Directions to the host facility follow:

Rt. 73 West to Rt. 662N to Rt. 222 N to Rt. 222 Business (Main Street) to Constitution Blvd. and right to Keystone Hall (Wrestling Room) or Constitution Blvd. to Normal St. (Kutztown Elementary School). The School is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school" attendance be maintained throughout, that the special needs of mentally and physically handicapped students be provided for, and that parents / guardians be reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. The School requests that parents / guardians who want to pick-up students at school, when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent, remember that school driveways and access roads need to be kept open for specialty buses / vans. In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate student census. j l If you'can not pick up your child at our school, remember School staff will remain with students awaiting pick-up and during evacuatinn, and the host facility is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public. The host facility also has the expertise to address the needs of our students. Please be patient and remember School staff will remain with students until all students are picked-E It is not necessary to rush, drive safely to the host facility and your clild will be waiting for you under the supervision of School staff.

Should s'heltering be recommended, your child will be sheltered at the Lincoln School. If dismissal is dalayed, you will be notified by radio, as you would during a snow emergency, etc. Do not attempt to pick up your child during sheltering, as it is vital to stay inside. In order to insure the safety of the School students, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents. Sincerely, Ms. Linda Cobb Supervisor p O A4-2

D. Definitions

1. Access Control Point (ACP) - Those points manned primarily by State or local police, augmented when necessary by the National Guard, established around the perimeter of the EPZ an roads leading into it when it is an evacuated or when occupants are taking shelter, for the purpose of controlling access into the area.

1

l 1

2. Amateur Radio- Licensed volunteer radio amateur communications I personnel affiliated with county emergency management organiza-tion. (Such organizations include Amateur Radio Emergency l Service (ARES), Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES),

f 4 Wheel Drive Clubs for Emergency Services, Civil Defense /

Citizens Band, and Radio Emergency Action Teams (REACT).

] 3. Central Resource Receiving Point - A predesignated location 2 outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ, suitable for the reception and distribution of supplies and equipment. 1 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 i the permanent and tran:ient residents of the county. Announce- t 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 couaty 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 information statements.
5. Emercency Management - The judicious planning, assignment and coorcination of all available resources in an integrated program of prevention, initigation, preparedness, response and recovery i for emergencies of any kind, whether from enemy attack, man-made or natural sources. (May be termed Emergency Preparedness.)
6. Emergency Operations Center (EOCl - A facility used by state,
  • L 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 facility to facilitate offsite emergency planning and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the .

plume and ingestion exposure pathways.

8. Host School / Facility - Predetermineci 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 incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes have been identified; from

. the least serious to the most serious they are: Unusual Event,

Alert, Site Emergency and General Emergency. (Note
Site or I l f 2 1

General Emergency classifications are not to be confused with a " Declaration of Disaster Emergency" made by the Governor in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descriptions of the four incident classes are as follows:

a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred which indicate 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 - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual ur potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the facility. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guide-line exposure levels.
c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 site boundary.

4

d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 insnediate site area boundaries.
10. Main Evacuation Routes - Those roadways identified in state and risk county plans as the routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation.
11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby.
12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis; including the prepositioning or movement of equipment or personnel.

l 3

13. Municipality - 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.
14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is physically located.
15. 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 expo-sure could involve: (a) whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from depostied materials, and (b) inhalation exposure from the passing radi.oactive 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.)

16 .- Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.

17. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid oi reduce a 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 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.
18. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by PEMA 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 provide accurate information, prevent panic and counteract misinformation and rumors. Reference to the 4

emergency incident itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about it.

19. Radiological Emergency Response Plans (REF.P) - Detailed response plans developed by the state and its agencies, county and municipal emergency management agencies, school districts, etc.

in coordination with PEMA and the fixed nuclear facility.

20. 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.
21. Risk County - A county located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility.
22. Risk School- A school building located partially or wholly within the plume expsoure pathway EPZ of a fixed nuclear facility.
23. School Services Officer - An individual appointed by the Montgomery County OEP who ensures the coordination of risk school plans for protective response and coordinates the alert /

notification and resource requirements of risk schools at the time of the emergency incident. This individual provides staff assistance to the County EOC and operates under the direction and control of the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Preparedness Director / Coordinator.

24. Standby Status - The term used to describe state of readiness.

Standard operating procedures have been reviewed; materiel, comunications and required supplies are available and adequate for initial operations; and sufficent personnel are on hand to commence operations. Augmentation personnel necessary for sustained operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called.

25. 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 execu-tive 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 be execu-tive 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 classifications of Site Emergency and General Emergency.

5

26. 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.
27. Traffic Control Points (TCP) - Those points established at critical road intersections for the purpose of controlling or limiting traffic.
28. Transportation Providers - Owners / operators, district vehicles and drivers and/or contract transportation resources provided for both routine (bus) movement of students, and any special transportation resource provided during emergency conditions.
29. Unmet Needs - Capabilities and/or resources required to support emergency operations neither available nor provided for at the respective levels of government or by the District.
        ~

E. Objectives of the Plan The plan is presented to:

1. Clarify lines of authority and establish responsibilities for the protection of students and staff.
2. Ensure that planned actions are in consonance with Municipal, County and State RERP's.
3. Identify necessary resources and required personnel to assure protective actions can be implemented for the West-Mont Christian Academy population.
4. Provide the basis for orientation of Academy staff, students and parents / guardians regarding appropriate actions during fixed facility nuclear incidents.

II. BASIC PLAN A. General Because a number of school facilities are found within the approx-imate 10-mile plume expsoure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respec-tive RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school population can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among all school facilities, as well as with the state and risk county plans. Accordingly, the West-Mont Christian Academy RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoni-ously with other plans. 6

l l l This plan is designed to protect students while attending any Academy function, including classroom and/or extracurricular activ-ities, special events or any function sponsored by the Academy. , B. Direction and Coordination

1. The Administrator shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by the West-Mont Christian Academy and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
2. The Administrator is responsible for all emergency plans and procedures assuring the safety of students and staff in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
3. The Administrator coordinates with the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Preparedness for protective response to include the direction and control of evacuation and/or sheltering of stu-dents and staff and for the cancellation of school or special activities.
4. All students, school buildings, school equipment, staff and contracts will remain under the supervision and control the the Administrator / Elementary Principal. The Administrator's office will serve as the interfacing point in providing for administra-tion, information/ resource exchange and management of school services, and in dealing with the County and parents / guardian.
5. Academy staff are responsible to the Administrator for building emergency plans, the coordination of protective action within the building, and for the safety of students and staff in the event of incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
6. Host school / facility services furnished by other school facilities shall be under the operational control of the supporting host school / facility.
7. Because of the multi-facility scope of a radiological emergency, the need for centralized coordination of emergency response personnel and resources becomes essential. For the purposes of this Plan, therefore, Montgomery County shall exercise responsi-bility for coordination and support.
8. The Montgomery County Radiological Emergency Response Plan to which this document shall be annexed shall govern implementation of the West-Mont Christian Academy RERP.
9. Coordination between the Counties involved shall be accomplished by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and be governed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Disaster Operations Plan, Annex E, Fixed Nuclear Facility Incidents.

7

10. School is in session during regular classrocm/ activity hours when the authorized school calendar applies; when students are involved in regular school sponsored activities / events; or when students occupy schocl/Pottstown Youth Center facilities under school supervision.*

ATTACHMENT 4 WEST-MONT CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

Dear Parent:

The West-Mont Christian Academy has developed plans to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. Normally, the Academy will be closed before any protective actions are necessary, but in the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before school is closed, the Academy 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 West-Mont Christian Academy, students will be safely bussed directly to a host school. The host school for the Academy is (Kings Highway Elementary School - East Penn S. D. - located in an area approximately 2 miles South of Emmaus. Parents or legal guardians are requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the host school building follow: High St. to Armand Hammer Blvd. to By-Pass to Rt. 100 N The Academy is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents / guard-ians be reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. The Academy requests that parents / guardians who want to pick-up students at i school, when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent, remember that school driveways and access roads need to be kept open for buses. The the main entrance has been designated for student pick-up. In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate student census. Academy staff will remain with students awaiting pick-up and during evacuation, and the host school is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public. Please be patient and remember Academy staff will remain with students until all stu-dents are picked-up. It is not necessary to rush, drive safely to the host school and your child will be waiting for you under the supervision of Academy staff. After 8 p.m., our host school will be closed and remaining students bussed to a designated location (mass care center) located at Emmaus Senior High School. At this facility, students will be provided shelter and food, awaiting parent / guardian arrival. The Red Cross operates this facility. Children will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior written arrangements have been made by completing the school emergency form designating who can pick-up your child. A4-1 L

If sheltering is recommended, Academy students will be sheltered in the Pottstown Youth Center facility. Please do not attempt to pick-up your child during sheltering--as it is vital to stay inside. If sheltering, delays dismissal, you will be notified by radio or telephone, as during a snow emergency, etc. In order to insure the safety of the Academy students, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents. Sincerely, Mr. Matthew Royer ' Administrator D 4 A4-2

D. Definitions

1. l Access Control Point (ACP) - Those points manned primarily by i State or local police, augmented when necessary by the ,

National Guard, established around the perimeter of the EPZ  ; on roads leading into it when it is evacuated area or when occupants are taking shelter, for the purpose of controlling - access into the area.

2. Amateur Radio- Licensed volunteer radio amateur communi-cations personnel affiliated with county emergency management  ;

organization. (Such organizations include Amateur Radio Service (ARES), Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Emergency (RACES), 4 Wheel Drive Clubs for Emergenc Services , Civil Defense / Ci.tizens Band, and Radio Emergency 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 announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from the County Commissioners, or their designated official repre-sentative, to the permanent and transient residents of the county. Announcements 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 c of EBS announcements does not preclude appropriate use of newspapers, radio and television for public information statements.

5. Emersency Management - The judicious planning, assignment and coorcination 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. (May be termed Emergency Preparedness.)

6

6. Emergency Operations Center (E0C) - A facility used by state, county or municipal governments from which to direct oper-ations in the event of an emergency.
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.

l

8. Host School - Predetermined schools 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. Students residing in the plume exposure pathway EPZ and attending school outside will be held for pick-up at the school they attend.
9. Incident - An incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes 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 in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descriptions of the four incident classes 

      'are as'follows:
a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred which indicate 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 - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 facility site boundary,
d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 boundaries.

3 Rev. 0 4 M

c .

10. Main Evacuation Routes - Those roadways identified in state and risk county plans as the routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation.
11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency looging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in
              .. suitable dining facilities) or nearby.
12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis including the prepositioning or movement of equipment or personnel.
13. Municipality - Fo~r 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.
14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is physically located. (Montgomery County for the Limerick Generating Station.)
15. 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 td 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 anc capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demography, topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.)
16. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
17. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a 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 e afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and 4 Rev. 0 M

e

O O windows, during and following the passage of the radioactive plume.

b. General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire population 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.

18. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) 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 provide accu ~ rate information, prevent panic and counteract misinformation and rumors. Reference to the emergency incident itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide' detailed information about it.
19. Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) - Detailed response plans developed by the state and its agencies, county and municipal emergency management agencies, school districts, etc. in coordination with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and the respective fixed nuclear facility.
20. 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.
21. Risk County - A county located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility.
22. Risk School Building - A school building located partially or wholly within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a fixed nuclear facility.
23. School Services Officer - An individual appointed by the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Preparedness (0EP) who ensures the coordination of risk school district plans for protective response and coordinates the alert / notification and resource requirements of risk schools at the time of the emergency incident. This individual provides staff assistance to the Montgomery County E0C and operates under the direction and control of the Montgomery County OEP Director / Coordinator.

24 Standby Status - The term used to describe state of readiness. Standard operating procedures have been reviewed; materiel, communications and required supplies are available and adequate 5 Rev. 0

for initial operations; and sufficent personnel are on hand to commence operations. Augmentation personnel necessary for sustained operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called.

25. 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 occurence or the threat of 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 classifications of Site Emergency and General Emergency.

26. 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.
27. Traffic Control Points (TCP) - Those points established at critical road intersections for the purpose of controlling or limiting traffic.
28. Transportation Providers - Owners / operators, school district vehicles and drivers and/or contract transportation resources provided for both routine (bus) movement of students, and any special transportation resource provided during emergency conditions.
29. Unmet Needs - Capabilities and/or resources required to support emergency operations neither available nor provided for at the respective levels of government or by the District.

E. Objectives of the Plan The plan is presented to:

1. Clarify lines of authority and establish responsibilities for the protection of school students and staff.
2. Ensure that planned actions are in consonance with Municipal, County and State RERP's.
3. Identify necessary resources and required personnel to assure protective actions can be implemented for the School population.

6 Rev. 0 G M

4. Provide the basis for orientation of school staff, students and parents / guardians regarding appropriate actions in the event of an 1ncident at the Limerick Generating Station.

II. BASIC PLAN A. General - Because a number of school districts are found within the approxi-mate 10-mile plume exposure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respec-tive RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school population can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among all districts, as well as with the state and risk county RERP's. Accordingly, the School RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoni~ously 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. B. Direction and Coordination

1. The Director shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by the Joint Operating Committee and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
2. The Director is responsible to the Joint Operating Committee for all school emergency plans and procedures assuring the safety of students and staff in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
3. The Director coordinates with the Montgomery County OEP for protective response to include the direction and control of evacaution and/or sheltering of students and staff and for the cancellation / suspension of school or special activities.
4. All students, school buildings, school equipment, staff and contracts will remain under the supervision and control the Director. The Administration Offices will serve as the interfacing point in providing for administration, infor-mation/ resource exchange and management of school services.
5. The Supervisor is responsible to the Administrator for school building emergency plans, the coordination of protective action within the school building, and for the safety of students and staff in the event of incident at the Limerick Generating Station.

7 Rev. 0 e

6. Host school services furnished by other school facilities shall be under the operational control of the supporting host facilities.
7. Because of the scope of a radiological emergency, the need for centralized coordination of emergency response personnel and resources becomes essential. For the purposes of this -

Plan, therefore, Montgomery County OEP shall exercise 

             . responsibility for coordination and support with the sending / sponsoring school districts and transportation providers.

i Sample Letter Al MODEL ATTACHMENT 4 WESTERN MONTGOMERY COUNTY AREA VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL

Dear Parent:

The Western Montgomery County Area Vocational Technical School has developed plans to protect students should an incident at the Limerick Generating Station require the protective response. Normally, the vo-tech school will be closed before any protective actions are necessary, but in the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before school is closed, the School has plans for accomplishing those protective actions. If evacuation is necessary, students will be safely bussed directly to a host school. The host school for our School is (Upper Perkiomen High School) located in an area approximately 1/2 mile outside of Red Hill. Parents or legal guardians will be requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the host school building follows: Rt. 663 North to Montgomery Avenue, right on Montgomery Avenue to lith Street to Walt Read to School Street. When evacuation of students is required, the School is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be ma'intained throughout, and that parents / guardians be reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. School staff will accompany students during evacuation, the host school is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the normal mass care centers for the general public. School staff will remain with students until all students are picked-up. It 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. Because it is important that school driveways and access roads be kept open for buses, the School requests that parents / guardians refrain from trying to pick-up students at the Vo-Tech School when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent. In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate school census. If you must pick up your child, please come to the bus loading area hallway entrance, and enter the grounds using Sunset Road. During evacuation, if you would be delayed in picking-up your son ) or daughter, after 8 p.m. Our host schools may be closed and remaining l students bussed to a designated mass care center, located at fiorth Penn t Senior High School. The Red Cross operates this facility. A notice will be ! posted at the host school to remind you of this mass care center's location: l A4-1 Rev. 0 l

i . Sample Letter #1 Children 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 child and have the child return the form to school. . Should sheltering be recommended, your child will be sheltered in his own school building, located in the risk area whose population might have to shelter, (EPZ), until the sheltering advisory is lifted. Should the shelter advisory delay dismissal of students, you will be notified by radio, as you would be during a snow emergency, etc. Do not attempt to pick up your child during sheltering, as it is vital to stay inside. If vocational-technical school programs are suspended at any time during an incident, you will be notified by the School, indicating the suspension of vo-tech programs. If vo-tech school is not being held and your child's high school has not been cancelled, your child will remain at high school and not attend the Vo-Tech School. Remember, refer to the high school's material regarding protective action to receive appropriate infor-mation in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. In order to insure the safety of the Western Montgomery County Area Vocational Technical School children, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents. Sincerely. Richard E. Frank Administrator A4-2 Rev. 0 44

4. Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Anncuncements - 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 information 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 kind, whether from enemy attack, man-made fornatural or emergencies of any(May be termed Emergency Preparedness.)

sources.

6. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) - A facility used by state, county or municipal governments from which to direct operations l in the event of an emergency.

l

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.
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 offi-cials' supervision, until they are picked up by their parents i or legal guardians.
9. Incident - An incident is an event or condition at a nuclear i facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes have been identified; from i 2 l

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 Governcr in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. - Descriptions of the four incident classes are as follows:

a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred 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 - Events are in process or have occurred which involve 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 Environ-msntal Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guide-line exposure levels.
c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of facil-ity 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 site boundary.

d. General Emergency - Events are_in process or have occurred which involve _ actual or imminent substantial core degrad-ation or melting with the potential for loss of contain-ment integrity. Releases can reasonably by expected to exceed EPA protective action guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area boundaries.

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

physically located. -

15. 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 expo-sure 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 demo-graphy, top graphy, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.
16. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
17. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a 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 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.
18. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by PEMA 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 provide accurate information, prevent panic and counteract misinformation and rumors. Reference to the emergency incident itself will be made only in the 4

context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about it.

This individual provides staff assistance to the County E0C and operates under the direction and control of the Berks County Emergency Management Agency Director.
24. Standby Status - The term used to describe state of readiness.

Standard operating procedures have been reviewed; materiel, communications and required supplies are available and adequate for initial operations; and sufficent personnel are on hand to commence operations. Augmentation personnel necessary for sustained operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called.

25. 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 exe-cutive order or proclamation of the Governor at any time upon finding that a disaster has occurred or that the occurrence or the 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 4 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 classifications of Site Emergency and General Emergency.

1. Clarify lines of authority and establish responsibilities for the protection of students and staff.
2. Ensure that planned actions are in consonance with Municipal, County and State RERP's.
3. Identify necessary resources and required personnel to assure protective actions can be implemented for the Pine Forge Academy.
4. Provide the basis for orientation of school staff, students and families regarding appropriate actions during fixed facility _

nuclear incidents. II. BASIC PLAN A. General Because a number of school facilities are found within the approxi-mate 10-mile plume expsoure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respec-tive RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school population can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among all school facilities, as well as with the State and risk County Plans. Accordingly, the Pine Forge Academy School RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with these plans and with a similar plan for the Pine Forge S.D.A. Elementary School. 5

This plan is designed to protect school students while residing at the school or attending any school function, including classroom, extracurricular activities, special events or any function sponsored by the Academy. B. Direction and Coordination

1. The Administrator shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by the Academy and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. '

 ;                emergency plans, the coordination of protective action within the school building, and for the safety of students and staff in the event of incident at the Limerick Generating Station.

, 7. Host school services furnished by other school facilities shall be under the operational control of the supporting host school. l I 8. Because of the multi-facility scope of a radiological emergency, the need for centralized coordination of emergency response personnel and resources becomes essential. For the purposes of this Plan, therefore, Berks County shall exercise responsibility for coordination and support.

9. The Berks County Radiological Emergency Response Plan to which
this document shall be annexed shall govern implementation of the Pine Forge Academy RERP.

l

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

Dear Parent:

The Pine Forge Academy has developed plans in conjunction with Pine i Forge S.D.A. Elementary School to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station. Normally, the Academy's classes will be suspended before any protective actions are necessary. When

sheltering or evacuation are necessary the Academy has plans for accomplish-ing any required protective actions. To make the plans effective, we need your cooperation.

In the event of a nuclear incident at t!e Limerick Generating Station that would require the protective evacuation of the Pine Forge Academy, students will be safely bused directly to a host school. The host school for our Academy is Blue Mountain Academy located in an area approximately 1 i miles north of I-78/61N. Parents or legal guardians of commuting students will be requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the host school building follows: Local roads to Rt. 662 North. Rt. 662N to Rt. 61 North to first inter-section past highway 78. Left at intersection and then left following signs to Blue Mountain Academy. The Academy is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents / guardians te reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. The Academy requests that parents / guardians who went to pick-up students at school when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent, remember that school driveways and access roads need to be kept open for buses. In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate school census. -Academy staff will accompany students during evacuation, host schools are located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for the general public. Academy staff will remain with students until all students are picked-up. It is not necessary to rush, drive safely to the host school and your child will be waiting for you under the supervision of Academy staff. Our host school is designated a mass care center. At this facility, students will be provided shelter and food, awaiting return to our school campus. If you want information retarding your son or daughter, call our temporary headquarters, located at Elue Mountain Academy, using the following telephone number, / - 

                                                                                                                       .        Special religious and dietary necds will J                       be recognized to the extent possible. For any parents wanting to come and
