AFFIDAVIT OF WILLIAM T. WALLACE, JR.
(CONTENTION SAPL-7)
I, WILLIAM T. WALLACE, JR., being on oath, depose and say as follows:
- 1. I am the Director of the New Hampshire Division of Public Health Services (DPHS).
- 2. Part H of Section II of the New Hampshire local radiological emergency response plans establishes that local emergency workers, equipment, and vehicles may be screened for contamination by either state or local emergency personnel.
Monitoring of emergency workers at the local EOCs that reveals a level of radioactivity in excess of 100 CPM (.15mR/hr) will result in referral to a decontamination facility located at reception centers in host communities. Part H indicates that local emergency operations centers are equipped with 8605290580 860520 3 PDR ADOCK 05000 G
appropriate monitoring equipment for this purpose (CDV-700 Survey Meters). After referral to the state decontamination facilities, monitoring and, if necessary, decontamination of emergency personnel, equipment and vehicles will be conducted under the supervision of Division of Public Health Services personnel. Part H of Section II of a representative local radiological emergency response plan is attached hereto and marked "A".
- 3. Section 2.7.5 of the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan (NHRERP), a copy of which is attached hereto and 2
marked "B", establishes that monitoring and decontamination will be provided for emergency workers at decontamination facilities located at reception centers in host communities. The plans identify six host community reception centers for which provisions for establishing decontamination facilities have been, or will be made.
Section 2.7.5 establishes that all monitoring and decontamination
~ activities at reception centers will be supervised by Division of Public Health Services personnel.
- 4. Section 2.7.5 indicates that additional monitoring and decontamination services will be provided at the IFO-EOF in Newington for state emergency workers who are deployed from that location. Monitoring and decontamination will be conducted at the EOF in facilties established specifically for that purpose by the utility.
. n
- 5. Appendix F of Volume 4, Section 3 of NHRERP which contains DPHS Emergency Response Procedures for Seabrook Station has been revised. A copy of the revised Appendix F is attached hereto and marked "C". Also attached hereto and marked "D" are representative site-specific decontamination procedures for the Manchester Radiological Decontamination Center. These procedures will be appropriately replicated for each decontamination Center. Revised Appendix F contains specific instructions for monitoring and decontamination of personnel, vehicles, equipment, instruments, and )
supplies. Revised Appendix F also contains an inventory of equipment and supplies to be maintained and used for decontamintion at each decontamination facility. The supplies listed in Revised Appendix F are generally available through normal commercial outlets and can be replenished during an emergency. Revised Appendix F includes instructions for isolation of contaminated materials for disposal or decontamination. The host community plans identify or will identify medical facilties to which referrals would be made for contamination that cannot be removed at the decontamination facilities. Referrals for treatment of emergency worker wounds would be made to the identified medical facilities.
- 6. Fire department personnel of the host communities where the decontamination facilities are located are being, and will continue to be, trained in decontamination procedures. There are a total of 643 fire department
. 6 personnel in the communities designated as host communities. A number of these personnel have received decontamination training.
- 7. Each decontamination facility is supervised by a Decontamination Administrator who is designated and trained by the
-Division of Public Health Services. Appendix A to Volume 4, Section 3 of the State Plan identifies a total of nine Decontamination Administrators who have been designated by DPHS. A DPHS Decontamination Administrator procedures is contained in Volume 4, y Section 3 of the New Hampshire State Plan. The DPHS Decontamination Administrator procedures are attached hereto and marked "E".
- 8. Section 2.7.5 of the New Hampshire State Plan establishes that the Division of Public Health Services will supervise disposal of waste materials generated by decontamination activities. The disposal of this waste will be arranged by Division of Public Health Services officials, in accordance with state and federal law, and New Hampshire Administrative Rules for Control of Radiation, with the utility or with a local brokerage appropriately licensed to dispose of low level radioactive wastes.
- 9. Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that there exists reasonable assurance that adequate procedures and facilties will be

William T. Wallace, Jr., M.D., M.P.H.
STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE MERRIMACK, SS. May 19, 1986 The above-subscribed William T. Wallace, Jr., appeared before me and made oath that he had read the foregoing affidavit and that the statements set forth therein are true to the best of his knowledge.
l Before me, S dD /)b Notary Public My Commission Expires: [-/[-d'oh I
r
. i H. {DICLJGICALEXPOSURECCNTPOL The cojective of radiclegical expcsure centrol is to crctect emergency workers by restricting their exposure to rLdioactive materials in a manner consistent with EPA Protective Action Guidelines (see Table 4) and to provice a means for monitoring and decontamination of individuals and materials.
These responsiblities are shared by State and local emergency response personnel. OPHS has State-wide responsibility for the radiological exposure control program; the Exeter RADEF Officer inplements the local radiological control program.
00simetry Three dosimeters will be used to monitor the whole body gamma exposure of emergency workers. These include two self-reading " pocket-types", a COV-138 (0-20GH) and a COV-730 (0-2CR). The third is a thermo-luninescent permanent record dosimeter (TLD) which is used to measure the total exposure an emergency worker receives fcr the duration of the emergency. The dosimeters are stored, along with other radiological monitoring equipment, in the Exeter EOC. Similar equipment is stored by NHCOA in the IF0/ECF. Therefore, during an emergency, the Exeter ECC and the IF0/ EOF will have available the equipment shown in Table 5. The IF0/E 7 will have additional dosimetry equipment. This State stcply may be used to supplement dosimetry on hand in Exeter if necessary.
The dosimeters will be distributed to the Exeter emergency workers from the EOC by the RADEF Officer. As he issues the pocket dosimeters the RADEF Officer will see that they are zeroed. He will initiate a log sheet that will serve as the basis for exposure records. It will be maintained at the EOC.
All emergency workers will subsequently be required to wear these three dosimeters at all times. Once a release of radioactive materials has occurred each worker will be instructed to take readings from the self-reading dosimeters each 15 to 30 minutes. Emergency workers should report readings to the RADEF Officer at the EOC.

1 Thyroid anc Resoiratory Protectico As projected or actual ccses approacn the upper limit of the :AGs fer tre general occulation, the CFHS will order local emergency workers cut of their towns. The local emergency workers will be replaced by State eme:gency l workers if necessary. Accordingly, no radioprotective drugs or respiratory equipment is necessary in Exeter. The provisions for State emergency werkers i are described in Sections 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 of the NFRERP. These provisions include potassium iodide (KI) and protective clothing that will be availaDie l at the IF0/ECF.
Decontamination Emergency workers, equipment used in the emergency response, evacuees, l evacuees' possessions and vehicles may become contaminated with radioactive l particulates that have been deposited from the Plune. These individuals, equipment and vehicles may be screened for contamination by either State or '
local emergency workers. This type of monitoring is handled primarily by the State at access control points or Reception Centers. Each comunity within the Plune Exposure EPZ, including Exeter, however, has COV-700 survey instruments it may use for screening for cont aination of its own emergency workers. Such screening by Exeter emergency workers will be conducted from the EOC, as deemed necessary by the local Civil Defense Coordinator.
1 If the Exeter emergency workers determine that the level of radioactivity on an individual or on surfaces of vehicles, equipment or other possessions - 1 exceeds 100 CPM above background levels, State DPHS will be contacted for instructions. The contaminated person and his possessions will be sent to a State decontaination facility located at the Reception Centers. Details on the monitoring to'be provided by State personnel at the decontamination facilities are included in Section 2.7.5 of the NFRERP. Additional details on decontamination and waste disposal are provided in the CPHS procedures.

All workers are requireo to return their dosimeters to tne facility from which they were distributed, or to the IF0/ EOF if the local EOC has been evacuated. OPHS will analyze emergency worker exposure and send to all e,T.ergency workers who have been exposed to any amount of radiation a record of their exposure.
2.7.5 Decontamination Emergency workers, equipment used in the emergency response, evacuees, evacuees' possessions and vehicles may become contaminated with radioactive particulates that have been deposited from the plume. These individuals, equipment and vehicles may be screened for contamination by either State or local emergency workers. Monitoring is the responsibility of the State. Each community within the Plume Exposure EPZ, f however, has COV-700 survey instruments it may use for spot-checking for contamination. Such screening by the local emergency workers will be conducted from the local EOC, as deemed necessary by the local Civil Defense Director. If the local emergency workers determine that the level of radioactivity on an individual or on surfaces of vehicles, equipment or other possessions exceeds 100 CPM above background, the contaminated person and his possessions will be sent to a state decontamination facility.
State monitoring teams may screen for contamination in either of two ways. Screening of evacuees, their vehicles and possessions will be conducted at the Reception Center parking areas. This may be done by either State emergency workers.or by emergency workers from the host community. In addition, screening of State emergency workers, equipment and vehicles may take place at the IF0/ EOF, under the supervision of OPHS.
If levels of radioactivity appear to have potential to approach I

Y .
1evels mentienec accve, a more vigorous evacuee monitoring metncd will be imclencntc0. At this point, in adciticn to monitoring every vehicle at One Reception Center parking areas, all evacuees that have not yet left the EPZ will be asked to travel through the access control points (See Section 2.6.5) where screening of vehicles will be conducted by State emergency workers. If cecontamination is indicated'for some tested vehicles, all vehicles will be screened. In addition to vehicles needing decontamination, all evacuees that request decontamination will be sent to a decontamination facility.
Means of Decontamination Decontamination procedures will be performed under the supervision of OPHS personnel. It is anticipated that decontamination of individuals will require showering and a change of clothing. Radioactive materials that have been deposited on surfaces of equipment and vehicles will be washed in outdoor parking areas. Decontamination procedures will follow standard radiological health practices and are contained in OPHS Procedures. If decontamination is not effective or internal contamination is suspected, people will be sent to facilities capable of handling individuals requiring more elaborate treatment or observation. These facilities have separate procedures for decontamination (see Section 2.8.4 of this RERP). Contaminated waste materials and contaminated personal articles will be stored at the Decontamination Centers for the duration of the emergency. Each Decontamination Center is capable of storing a minimum of I cubic meter of contaminated waste and 2 cubic meters of contaminated personal articles for quarantine. This is sufficient for the worst expected decontamination required. Following.the emergency, DPHS will evaluate further decontamination or quarantine length and will dispose of waste materials through a local brokerage.

A. PROCEDURE
S FOR PERSONNEL MONITORS Verify operability of equipment frequently as per Appendix F5.
Open the shield on the probe. Secure the probe in a surgical glove -
making sure glove fingers aren't dangling. Put on headphones so that you may observe the position of the probe rather than watch the meter readings. ;
Determine background radiation levels. Recheck background from time to
- time with and without probe cover. -
Place the probe about Ih to 1 inch from the body of the individual being monitored, being careful not to touch the individual.
DO NOT MOVE the probe too fast - only about 1 inch per second. The average personnel monitoring should be performed in 3 - 5 minutes per individual.
Monitor the hands first, then have the person assume the " spread-eagle" position (Refer to 111ustration'1).
(a) If hands are contaminated, cover with plastic baggie or plastic wrap until monitoring survey.is completed.
Then move the probe, downward on one side of the neck, the collar, the shoulder, arm, wr'ist, hand, underarm, armpit, side of the body, side of the leg, around the cuff and shoe, including the bottom of the shoe.
Then monitor the inside of the leg from the cuff to the groin and con-tinue the procedure on the other side of the body.
Monitor the front and back of the body. Pay particular attention to covering the thyroid area in the throat.
(a) To monitor bottoms of fegt, have person lean against a wall (with hands covered if contaminated) for balance while he/she lifts one foot at a time. ,
A person is considered CONTAMINATED if there is a reading of 0.15 mR/hr (100 cpm) or more above background (this limit may be adjusted by DPHS according to prevailing radiation levels outside). Do not confuse backgroundradiationwithyourreadings;contaminationwouldbea/[arent by a sustained increase on the visual meter reading (Selector Switch on X 1 range), and also by a marked increase in the audible indication from the headphone. The audio response makes it possible to practically pin-point any hot spots on the individual.

~ Il th'e individual is' contaminated, the interior monitor of the Decontamination Center must fill out a Personnel Radiological Monitoring Repcrt Form (See Form attached). Send the contaminated individual to the decontamination room. Direct the individual to return after decontamination.
Monitor individuals again after decontamination to verify that con-tamination has been removed. Repeat decontamination procedures if any contaminaton remains. If after a second decontamination attempt con-tamination remains, refer the individual for treatment at the medical facility appropriate for the Center.
~ Collect and retain Personnel Radiological Monitoring Report Forms for all individuals found to be contacinated.
B. PROCEDURE
S FOR VEHICLE MONITORS-Verify operability of equipment frequently as per Appendix FS.
Open the shield on the probe. Secure the probe in a surgical glove '
making sure fingers aren't dangling. Put on headphones so that you may observe the position of the probe rather than watch the meter readings.
Determine background radiation levels. Recheck background from time to time with and without probe cover. -
Place the probe about th to 1 inch from the vehicle being monitored, being careful not to touch the vehicle.
Monitor the entire external area of the vehicle. Areas most likely to be contaminated are the wheelwells, radiator grill and air filter.
~
Begin survey of vehicle at the bottom of the vehicle and work up.
Consider all surfaces of theIvehicle contaminated until proved otherwise by monitoring.
Avoid contact with potentially contaminated surfaces of the vehicle to prevent contaminating yourself.
Monitoring of internal areas of vehicle will be done only if time is available and is necessary only when:
(1) vehicle is externally contaminated, or (2) personnel transported in vehicle are contaminated.

A. PERSONNEL DECONTAMINATION s
'~
Frior ,to personne[_ decontamination, all contaminated individuals w11.1 be given procedures to follow in the Decontamination Rooms (See Form 1
.. attached). , . .. . _ . . .
Decontamination is essentially..the physical removal of. radioactive " dirt" from the skin. There are three (3) methods used at the Decontamination
,_ Center 1 .___. 1). Local Decontsaination. . . . .
- 2) General Decontamination, and
_3.), Local and General Decontamination Generally, decontamin,ation, should begi,n fros,the high_est point of con-tamination and proceed to the lowest point. If there is only localized con-tamination, it should be handled directly. General bathing would merely
~
~~'
spread such contaminitlon. Most of the radioactive' asterial will be removed during the first decontamination effo,r_t._, _ ,,, _ _ , , , . . , . ,
, , , ' T,he initial step in, decontamination _is to remove carefully all con-taminated clothing and to place it in a personnally identified plastic
.. bag and fill out a_Personnal 3elongings Listing Form (See Form 2 attached).
- Then the contaminated area should be dry wiped and, if possible, damp wiped. __ . , - . _ _ _ . .
Make an effort not to contaminate hairy areas which are initially free of radioactivity. ,

- 1. Localized Decontamination
_ Lightly wet.the contaminated area using lukewarm water. Water should be used in such a way as to avoid splashing outside the shower.
Use detergent or soap and gently work up a lather (for some individuals, use HYPOALLERGENIC soap).
_ J ._ Wash.the area for one to two minutes. Soft surgical brushes or gauze sponges are used to scrub contaminated areas of the skin. Care should be taken not to abrase the skin. Frequently, abrasion and redness of the skin may not be visible for hours. Hair, nails and skin folds should receive special attention. ;
i After scrubbing, the involved areas of the person's body should be rinsed thoroughly, dried, surveyed and the results recorded. Levels of con-tamination will generally decrease by about a factor of ten with the first decontamination effort.
\
Pega 2 of 4 APPENDIX F4 DECONTAMINATICN (PERSONNEL AND VEHICLE)
, The scrub, rinse, drying and' resurveying should be repeated a second time if the level found is more than 0.15 mR/hr (100 cpm) above background.
All survey reading should be done in an adjacent clean area of the shower. <
In some cases, there may be localized areas of residual contamination that persists in spite of the two decontamination efforts. If this is, for example, a small area of the skin, a plastic covering can be taped over the area; ca a hand, a surgical glove may be taped; or, for.the hair, a surgical cap may be worn. For all unsuccessful decontamination efforts, persons would be referred with a copy of APPENDIX F-3, FORM 1 to the medical care facility for. this Center.
- 2. General Decontamination Showering is recommended when:
- 1) the individual is uniformly contaminated over a large portion of the body, and/or
- 2) the local decontamination would require too much time and result in delays in decontamination of other personnel.
Shower procedures for decontamination:
- It is imperative that the individual's dignity be maintained to the highest degree possible.,
- - Lightly wet the most highly contaminated area (s) using lukewarm water. Water should be used in such a way as to avoid splashing.
Use detergent or soap aad gently work up a lather on the contaminated ares (s). ..
- Wash the area for one to two minutes. Soft surgical brushes er gauze spongesareusedtoscru)contaminatedareasoftheskin.
Pay particular attention to bair, armpits, fingernails and body ori-fices. ,.
- After the scrubbing, the involved area (s) of the individual's bolv should be rinsed thoroughly.
Then a complete shower is taken. At no time should a shower take more than ten (10) minutes.
Dry and resurvey a second time.

- If, in spite of two (2) decontamination efforts, residual con-tamination of more than 0.15 mR/hr (100 cpm) above background per-sist, refer the individual with a copy of APPENDIX F3, FORM 1, to the medic.tl care facilitj for this f.unter after covering the contaminated area (s). j 4
Pcg2 3 of 4 I APPENDIX F4 DECONTAMINATION (PERSONNEL AND VEHICLE)
~3. Local and General Decontamination A combination of showering and the local decontamination, as appropriate, !
is recommended in situations where:
- An individual is contaminated over a large portion of the body but has " hot spots" such as hands, fingernails, hair, etc., which are i contaminated to much higher levels than other portions of the body. ,
In these cases, the " hot spots" should be pre-washed with soap and water, followed by a complete shower.
MISCELLANEOUS ,
After decontamination,'individu'als 'are provided with clean clothing.
- Individuals with contaminated wounds, eyes or body cavities are im=e-diately ref erred to the apprgri.ste incile..1 e Jrn S ci]!tf for specialized treatment. For example:
If there is any significant radioactivity in the nasal cavity, nose blowing and immediate referral to medical facilities is recommended.
Any area cf the skin can be covered with a gentle emollient salve such as lanolin.
~
- AT NO TIME should any hair be cut by the decontamination staff!
Contaminated water should be flushed into ordinary drains. Faucets or shower heads should be left open to insure dilution in accordance with the NH Rules for the Control of Radiation.
Contaminated waste materials, including clothing and contaminated towels should be packaged in plastic bags securely tied at the top. If possible, plastic bags should/be placed in metal containers and stored in a secured room. Clothing, valuables and personal items are set aside for ultimate return to owners. These salvageable materials will be labeled with che owner's name, address and telephone number. Both salvageable and disposable waste should be retained for decontamination or disposal by radiological health officials at the conclusion of the emergency.
A completed Personnel Radiological Monitoring Report Form for each indi-vidual found to be contaminated is compiled and kept on file at the Decontamination Center for the duraton of the emergency. At the conclu-sion of the emergency, the forms are forwarded to the New Hampshire Radiological Health Program located in Concord, N.H.

. DECONTAMINATION (PERSONNEL AND VEHICLE)
- 8. VEHICLE DECONTAMINATION L
Af ter surveyed, vehicle is identified on the f ront ' window with a. sticky patch: t GREEN = CLEAN RED = ENTERNALLY CONTAMINATED ONLY Ensure that all areas of contamination on the vehicle have been iden-tified and accurately recorded on ;he Vehicle Contamination Report Form.
When complete vehicle monitoring demonstrates internal contamination these vehicles will be stored in a secure area until decontamination by DPHS. .
Vehicles that arc only externally contaminated can be sent, after the occupants are clean and have received the appropriate precedures and directions to a car wash.
These vehicles are remonitored at the Decontami. nation Center to verify that contamination has been reeoved. Repeat deconcamination procedures if any contamination remains. If, af ter a second decontamination attempt, contamination remains, leave the vehicle in the vehicle
" Contaminated" area until Radiation Division of DPFS arrives to clean up the area. -
If only localized ocntamination areas have been identified on the vehicle and time permits, proceed as follows:
(1) Lightly wet contaminated area;
~
(2) Using soap, work up a lather; (3) Continue to wash for one minute.in such a way as to prevent spread-ing of the contaminants; l (4) Rinse; and l/
(5) Monitor decontamination progress.
If large areas or the entire vehicle is contaminated:
(1) Hose the vehicle with water f Repeat decontamination procedures of any contamination remains. If, (i.e. less than 0.15 mR/hr [100 cpm] over the background using a CPV-700 meter) af ter a second decontamination attempt, . contamination remains, leave the vehicle in the vehicle contaminated area until Radiation Division of DPHS arrives to clean up the area.
In winter, a vehicle wash is necessary to achieve decontamination.

_ APPENDIX 74 - FORM 1 VRAT HAPPENS IN THE DECONTAMINATION CENTER?
Decontaminationisessentiallythep[hysicalremovalofradioactive" dirt"from the skin. If you have minot cuts or scratches you should be very sure that the Decontamination personnel know so they can cover the area (s) with surgical dressing. Also, individuals with contaminated wounds, eyes or body cavities will be immediately referred to medical facilities for specialized treatment.
There are three (3) methods used at the Decontamination Center:
- 1) Local Decontamination
- 2) Generaf Decontamination, and
- 3) Local and General Decontamination Generally, decontamination should begin from the highest point of contamination and proceed to the lowest point. If there is only localized contamination, it should be handled directly. General bathing would merely spread such contamin-ation. Most of the radioactive material will be removed during the first decon-tamination effort.
The initial step in decontami' nation is to remove carefully all con-taminated clothing and to place it in a personnally identified plastic bag and fill out a Personnal Belongings Listing Form.
Then the contaminated area should be dry wiped and, if possible, damp wiped.
Make an effort not to contaminate hairy areas which are initially free of radioactivity.
t Use precautions-in order to prevent contamination from entering body openings.
- 1. Localized Decontamination Lightly wet the contaminated area using lukewarm water. Water should be used in such a way as to avoid splashing outside the sink.
f Use detergent or soap and gently work up a lather (for some skin allergic individuals, use HYPOALLERGENIC soap.)
- Wash the area for one to two minutes. Soft surgical brushes or gauze sponges are used to scrub contaminated areas of the skin.
The purpose of the brush or gauze sponges is to agitate the cleaning agent and to scrape off the contamination.
You should be careful not to scrub or rub the skin to the point where it reddens, because then there is a risk of the contamination entering your blood stream directly.

, APPENDIX F5 MONITORING EQUIPMENT; AND OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES A. CDV-700 SURVEY RATE METER Opertations Check for CDV-700
- 1. Check visually to see that fresh batteries are in place. If not, insert them, observing the indicated polarity.
- 2. Turn the selector switch to the x10 range.
- 3. Allow 30 seconds for warm-up time.
- 4. Open the probe shield and place the open area directly against the check source. There should be a deflection of the meter needle indicating that the instrument is responding to radiation.
- 5. Determine the background radiation level by setting the instrument on
. the most sensitive scale (x1) and observing it for about 30 seconds.
B. EXPOSURE MEASURING INSTRLHENTS Decontamination personnel will not be allowed to receive more than 5R total exposure unless sanctioned by DPHS! ,
- 1. Thermoluminescent Dosimeter
- a. Thermoluminescent , dosimeters (TLD) measure radiation absorption or dose and are highly accurate, but they must be read by special instruments. The TLD's record doses of gamma radiation.
- b. Emergency workers should clip the TLD and the self-reading dosime-ters to their inside clothes somewhere between the neck and waist.
The windows on the TLD should face outward.
- c. Each emergency worker should retain their individual TLD until the end of the emergency when the TLD's should be returned to the Decontamination Administrator.
- 2. Self-reading Dosimeters
- a. Self-reading dosimeters enable emergency workers to continually keep track of individual radiological exposure. However, self-reading dosimeters are not as accurate as TLD's and also only record gamma radiation.
i
- b. Each emergency worker will be given two self-reading dosimeters to wear while inside the risk area. One dosimeter will serve as a back-up for the other.
(i) CDV-138 dosimeters can measure between 0 - 200 milliroentgens of gamma radiation, and would be the primary dosimeter used by emergency workersjin radiological response.

APPENDIX F5 )
- I (ii) CDV-730 dosimeters 'can measure between 0 - 20 regentgens of !
gamma radiation and would serve as the back-up dosimeters for )
emergency workers.
- c. Since the self-reading dosimeters do not have their own batteries, they must be charged or zeroed before they can be used. CDV-750 dosimeters charges are used to zero dosimeters for accuracy and recording purposes. You should zero your dosimeters before use. l Read them and record yoyr exposure on the " Personnel Exposure l Record". )
- d. Dosimeters should be read every half hour and the reading recorded. l
- e. Reading and Charging a Dosimeter:
- Point the dosimeter at a source of light - even a match or a flashlight will do - and observe the position of the hairline indicator. If the line is visible and less than about one quarter up-scale, record the reading. If the line is above one- l quarter scale or not visible, the dosimeter must be zeroed. l
- To operate the dosimeter charger, lossen the thumbscrew in the top or bottom center of the charger with a coin and remove the bottom of the case. Install a battery, observing polarity (+ and
-), and reassemble.
- Position the charger on a flat, steady surface. Unscrew the cap on the charging contact and place the end of the dosimeter (opposite the pocket clip and eye piece) on the charging contact l of the charger.
- Apply a fira downward pressure. You should see a meter scale and hairline while looking through the dosimeter. If no line is visible, rotate the control knob of.the charger until a line l appears. ;
- Set the line on, or Ilightly above, zero using the control knob.
- Be sure to read the self-reading dosimeter with a light source immediately af ter zeroing because the setting can shif t slightly after removal from the charger.
I 4
- To read the dosimeter at any time, point it at a source of light and note the reading by looking through the dosimeter. Your accumulated exposure, in Roentgens or Millirogentgens (R or mR),
is the number you now read less your initial reading.

Pcga 1 of 4 APPENDIX F3 SURVEYING METHODS (PERSONNEL, VEHICLE & AREA)
A. PROCEDURES FOR PERSONNEL MONITORS i
Verify operability of equipment frequently as per Appendix PS.
Open the shield on the probe. Secure the probe in a surgical glove making sure glove fingers aren't dangling. Put on headphones so that you may observe the position of the probe rather than watch the meter readings.
Determine background radiation levels. Recheck background from time to time with and without probe cover.
1 Place the probe about ki to 1 inch from the body of the individual being monitored, being careful not to touch the individual.
f 1
DO NOT MOVE the probe too fast - only about 1 inch per second. The average personnel monitoring should be performed in 3 - 5 minutes per individual.
Monitor the hands first, then have the person assume the " spread-eagle" position (Refer to Illustration 1).
(a) If hands are contaminated, cover with plastic baggie or plastic wrap until monitoring survey is completed.
Then move the probe downward on one side of the neck, the collar, the shoulder, arm, wrist, hand, underarm, arapit, side of the body, side of the leg, around the cuff and shoe, including the bottom of the shoe.
j Then monitor the inside of the leg from the cuff to the groin and con-l tinue the procedure on the other side of the body.
Monitor the front and back of the body. Pay particular attention to covering the thyroid area in the throat.
! (a) To monitor bottoes of feet, have person lean against a wall (with l hands covered if contaminated) for balance while he/she lifts one l foot at a ties.
A person is considered CONTAMINATED if there is a reading of 0.15 mR/hr (100 cpe) or more above background (this limit may be adjusted by DPHS according to prevailing radiation levels outside). Do not confuse i background radiation with your readings; contamination would be apparent by a sustained increase on the visual meter reading (Selector Switch on X 1
1 range), and also by a marked increase in the audible indication froa
- the headphone. The audio response makes it possible to practically pin-j point any hot spots on the individual.

Pega 2 of 4 APPENDIX F3 SURVEYING METHODS (PERSONNEL, VEHICLE & AREA)
If the individual is contaminated, the interior monitor of the Decontamination Center must fill out a Personnel Radiological Monitoring Report Form (See Form attached). Send the contaminated individual to the decontamination room. Direct the individual to return after decont amination.
Monitor individuals again after decontamination to verify that con-tamination has been removed. Repeat decontamination procedures if any contaminston remains. If after a second decontamination attempt con-tamination remains, refer the individual for treatment at the Catholic Medical Center and/or Elliot Hospital.
Collect and retain Personnel Radiological Monitoring Report Forms for all individuals found to be contaminated.
B. PROCEDURE
S FOR VEHICLE MONITORS Verify operability of equipment frequently as per Appendix F5.
Open the shield on the probe. Secure the probe in a surgical glove making sure fingers aren't dangling. Put on headphones so that you may observe the position of the probe rather than watch the meter readings.
Determine background radiation levels. Recheck background from time to time with and without probe cover.
Place the probe about th to 1 inch from the vehicle being monitored, being careful not to touch the vehicle.
Monitor the entire external area of the vehicle. Areas most likely to be contaminated are the wheelwells, radiator grill and air filter.
Begin survey of vehicle at the bottom of the vehicle and work up.
Consider all surfaces of the vehicle contaminated until proved otherwise by monitoring.
Avoid contact with potentially contaminated surfaces of the vehicle to
- prevent contaminating yourself.
I Monitoring of internal areas of vehicle will be done only if time is available and is necessary only when:
(1) vehicle is externally contaminated, or i
(2) personnel transported in vehicle are contaminated.

Pcg2 3 of 4 APPENDIX F3 SURVEYING METHODS (PERSONNEL, VEHICLE in AREA) i A vehicle is considered CONTAMINATED if there is a reading of 0.15 mR/hr l (100 cpe) or more above background (this limit may be adjusted by DPHS ;
according to prevailing radiation levels outside). Do not confuse background radiation with your readings; contamination would be apparent by a sustained increase on the visual meter reading (Selector Switch on X 1 range), and also by a marked increase in the audible indication from the headphone. The audio response makes it possible to practically pin-point any hot spots on the vehicle.
If the vehicle is contaminated, fill out the Vehicle Radiological Monitoring Report Form, (see form attached). Vehicles are identified'on the front window with a sticky patch:
GREEN = CLEAN RED = EXTERNALLY CONTANINATED ONLY Collect Vehicle Radiological Monitoring Report Forms for all vehicles found to be contaminated.
C. PROCEDURE
S FOR AREA MONITORS Verify operability of equipment frequently as per Appendix F5.
Open the shield on the probe. Secure the probe in a surgical glove making sure glove fingers aren't dangling. Put on headphones so that you may observe the position of the probe rather than watch the meter readings.
Determine background radiation levels. Recheck background from time to time with and without probe cover.
l Place the probe about th to 1 inch from the area being monitored, being i careful not to touch the area.
Move the probe slowly on the suspected area.
l An area is considered CONTAMINATED if there is a reading of 0.15 mR/hr l (100 cpa) or more above background. Do not confuse background radiation j with your readings; contamination would be apparent by a sustained i
increase on the visual meter reading (Selector Switch on X 1 range), and also by a marked increase in the audible indication from the headphone.
The audio response makes it possible to practically pinpoint any hot l spots on the area.

APPENDIX F4 DECONTAMINATION (PERSONNEL AND VEHICLE)
A. PERSONNEL DECONTAMINATION Prior to personnel decontamination, all contaminated individuals will be given procedures to follow in the Decontamination Rooms (See Form 1 attached).
Decontamination is essentially the physical removal of radioactive " dirt" from the skin. There are three (3) methods used at the Decontamination Center: 1) Local Decontamination
- 2) General Decontamination, and
- 3) Local and General Decontamination Generally, decontamination should begin from the highest point of con-tamination and proceed to the lowest point. If there is only localized con-tamination, it should be handled directly. General bathing would merely spread such contamination. Most of the radioactive material will be removed during the first decontamination effort.
The initial step in decontamination is to remove carefully all con-taminated clothing and to place it in a personnally identified plastic bag and fill out a Personnal Belongings Listing Form (See Form 2 attached).
Then the contaminated area should be dry wiped and, if possible, damp wiped.
Make an effort not to contaminate hairy areas which are initially free of radioactivity.

- openings. -
> 1. Localized Decontamination Lightly wet the contaminated area using lukewarm water. Water should be used in such a way as to avoid splashing outside the shower.
Use detergent or soap and gently work up a lather (for some individuals, use NYPOALLERGENIC soap).
Wash the area for one to two minutes. Soft surgical brushes or gauze sponges are used to scrub contaminated areas of the skin. Care should be taken not to abrase the skin. Frequently, abrasion and redness of the skin may not be visible for hours. Hair, nails and skin folds should receive special attention.
After scrubbing, the involved areas of the person's body should be rinsed thoroughly, dried, surveyed and the results recorded. Levels of con-tamination will generally decrease by about a factor of ten with the first decontamination effort.
Peg 2 2 of 4 APPENDIX F4 DECONTAMINATION (PERSONNEL AND VEHICLE)
The scrub, rinse, drying and resurveying should be repeated a second time if the level found is more than 0.15 mR/hr (100 cpa) above background.
All survey reading should be done in an adjacent clean area of the i shower.
In some cases, there may be localized areas of residual contamination that persists in spite of the two decontamination efforts. If this is, for example, a small area of the skin, a plastic covering can be taped over the area; on a hand, a surgical glove may be taped; or, for the hair, a surgical cap may be worn. For all unsuccessful decontamination efforts, persons would be referred with a copy of APPENDIX F-3, FORM 1 to the Catholic Medical Center and/or the Elliot Hospital.
- 2. General Decontamination Showering is recommended when:
- 1) the individual is uniformly contaminated over a large portion of the body, and/or
- 2) the local decontamination would require too much time and result in delays in decontamination of other personnel.
- Shower procedures for decontamination:
It is imperative that the individual's dignity be maintained to the highest degree possible.
Lightly wet the most highly contaminated area (s) using lukewarm water. Water should be used in such a way as to avoid splashing.
Use detergent or soap and gently work up a lather on the contaminated ares (s).
l -
Wash the area for one to two minutes. Soft surgical brushes or gauze sponges are used to scrub contaminated areas of the skin.
! Pay particular attention to hair, armpits, fingernails and body ori-fices.
After the scrubbing, the involved area (s) of the individual's body should be rinsed thoroughly.
Then a complete shower is taken. At no time should a shower take more than ten (10) ainutes.
l Dry and resurvey a second time.
I i
If, in spite of two (2) decontamination efforts, residual con-tamination of more than 0.15 mR/hr (100 cpa) above background per-sist, refer the individual with a copy of APPENDIX F3, FORM 1, to the Catholic Medical Center and/or Elliot Hospital after covering the contaminated area (s).

DECONTAMINATION (PERSONNEL AND VEHICLE)
- 3. Local and General Decontamination A combination of showering and the local decontamination, as appropriate,
, is recommended in situations where:
An individus1 is contaminated over a large portion of the body Lut has " hot spots" such as hands, fingernails, hair, etc., which are contaminated to much higher levels than other portions of the body.
In these cases, the " hot spots" should be pre-washed with soap and water, i followed by a complete shower.
MISCELLANEOUS 1
l After decontamination, individuals are provided with clean clothing.
! Individuals with contaminated wounds, eyes or body cavities are imme-distely referred to Catholic Medical Center and/or Elliot Hospital for specialized treatment. For examplet If there is any significant radioactivity in the nasal cavity, nose blowing and immediate referral to medical facilities is recommended.
Any area of the skin can be covered with a gentle emollient salve such as lanolin.
AT NO TIME should any hair be cut by the decontamination staff!
i Contaminated water should be flushed into ordinary drains. Faucets or shower heads should be left open to insure dilution in accordance with the NH Rules for the Control of Radiation.
Contaminated waste materials, including clothing and contaminated towels
, should be packaged in plastic bags securely tied at the top. If
! possible, plastic bags should be placed in metal containers and stored in
, a secured room. Clothing, valuables and personal items are set aside for
! ultimate return to owners. These salvageable materials will be labeled
- with the owner's name, address and telephone number. Both salvageable i and disposable waste should be retained for decontamination or disposal by radiological health officials at the conclusion of the energency.
i A completed Personnel Radiological Monitoring Report Form for each indi-i vidual found to be contaminated is compiled and kept on file at the I Decontamination Center for the duraton of the emergency. At the conclu-sion of the energency, the forms are forwarded to the New Hampshire Radiological Health Program located in Concord, N.H.

._ e Paga 4 of 4 APPENDIX F4 DECONTAMINATION (PERSONNEL AND VEHICLE) ,
1 E. VEHICLE DICONTAMINATION After surveyed, vehicle is identified on the front window with a sticky patch:
CREEN = CLEAN RED = ENTERNALLY CONTAMINATED ONLY Ensure that all areas of contamination on the vehicle have been iden-tified and accurately recorded on the Vehicle Contamination Report Form.
When complete vehicle monitoring demonstrates internal contamination these vehicles will be stored in a secure area until decontamination by DPHS.
Vehicles that are only externally contaminated can be sent, after the occupants are clean and have received the appropriate procedures and directions to the Federal Post Office car wash or the Manchester Transit larger vehicle wash.
These vehicles are remonitored at the Decontamination Center to verify that contamination has been removed. Repeat decontamination procedures if any contamination remains. If, af ter a second decontamination attempt, contamination remains, leave the vehicle in the vehicle
" Contaminated" area until Radiation Division of DPHS arrives to clean up the area.
If only localized ocntamination areas have been identified on the vehicle and time permits, proceed as follows:
(1) Lightly wet contaminated area; (2) Using soap, work up a lather; (3) Continue to wash for one minute in such a way as to prevent spread-ing of the contaminants; (4) Rinse; and (5) Monitor decontamination progress.
If large areas or the entire vehicle is contaminated (1) Hose the vehicle with water Repeat decontamination procedures of any contamination remains. If, (i.e. less than 0.15 mR/hr (100 cpm] over the beckground using a CPV-700 meter) after a second decontaminacion attempt, contamination remains, leave the vehicle in the vehicle contaminated area until Radiation Division of DPHS arrives to clean up the area.
In winter, a vehicle wash is necessary to achieve decontamination.

. Pega 1 of 3 APPENDIX F4 - FORM 1 WHAT HAPPENS IN THE DECONTAMINATION CENTER 7 Decontamination is essentially the physical removal of radioactive " dirt" from the skin. If you have minor cuts or scratches you should be very sure that the -
Decontamination personnel know so they can cover the area (s) with surgical dressing. Also, individuals with contaminated wounds, eyes or body cavities will be immediately referred to medical facilities for specialized treatment.
There are three (3) methods used at the Decontamination Center:
1
- 1) Local Decontamination
- 2) General Decontamination, and
- 3) Local and General Decontamination Generally, decontamination should begin from the highest point of contamination and proceed to the lowest point. If there is only localised contamination, it ;
- should be handled directly. General bathing would merely spread such contamin-ation. Most of the radioactive material will be removed during the first decon-tamination effort.
The initial step in decontamination is to remove carefully all con-taminated clothing and to place it in a personnally identified plastic j bag and fill out a Personnal Belongings Listing Form.
Then the contaminated area should be dry wiped and, if possible, damp l wiped.
Make an effort not to contaminate hairy areas which are initially free of :
radioactivity. 1 I
Use precautions in order to prevent contamination from entering body >
openings.
- 1. Localized Decontamination Lightly wet the contaminated area using lukewarm water. Water should be used in such a way as to avoid splashing outside the sink. ,
Use detergent or soap and gently work up a lather (for some skin allergic individuals, use HYPOALLERGENIC soap.)
Wash the area for one to two minutes. Sof t surgical brushes or gauze sponges are used to scrub contaminated areas of the skin. ,
The purpose of the brush or seuse sponges is to agitate the cleaning '
agent and to scrape off the contamination.
- You should be careful not to scrub or rub the skin to the point where it
- reddens, because then there is a risk of the contamination entering your blood stresa directly.

- After the scrubbing, the involved areas of the person's body should be rinsed thoroughly, dried, surveyed and the results recorded.
The scrub, rinse, drying and resurveying should be repeated a second time if still contaminated. All survey readings will be done in an adjacent clean area of the shower.
If, inspite of two (2) decontamination efforts, risidual contamination still persists, the person will be ref erred to the hospital af ter covering the contaminated ares (s).

APPENDIX F4 - FORM 3 PROCEDURE AND DIRECTIONS IN DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE TO THE MANCHESTER FEDERAL POST OFFICE CAR WASH OR THE MANCHESTER TRANSIT LARGER VEHICLE WASH This procedure is for externally contaminated vehicles only.
- 1. Notify the firefighter responsible for your vehicle that you are ready to go to the vehicle wash.
Djt not use your vehicle without first seeing the firefighter because you could get contaminated.
- 2. Follow the firefighter's instructions in getting into your vehicle.
- 3. Once in the vehicle, do not get out (unless an emergency) until the vehicle has been washed.
4 Close all vents. Do not use the vehicle's heater or air conditioner and close all vents and windows and do not open them even if it is uncomfortable.
- 5. Do not, eat, drink or smoke in the vehicle.
- 6. For your protection, af ter the vehicle has been washed, come back to the Reception Center so your vehicle may be remonitored.
- 7. For you and your loved ones protection, follow the firefighter's instructions!
Pego 1 of 3 APPENDIX P5 MONITORING EQUIPMElfr AND OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES A. CDV-700 SURVEY RATE METER Opertatiot.s Check for CDV-700
- 1. Check visually to see that fresh batteries are in place. If not, insert them, observing the indicated polarity.
- 2. Turn the selector switch to the x10 range.
- 3. Allow 30 seconds for warm-up time.
- 4. Open the probe shield and place the open area directly against the check source. There should be a deflection of the aster needle indicating that the instrument is responding to radiation.
- 5. Determine the background radiation level by setting the instrument on the most sensitive scale (x1) and observing it for about 30 seconds.
B. EXPOSURE MEASURING INSTRUMENTS Decontamination personnel will not be allowed to receive more than SR total l exposure unless sanctioned by DPHS!
l
- 1. Thermoluminescent Dosimeter
- a. Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) measure radiation absorption or dose and are highly accurate, but they must be read by special instruments. The TLD's record doses of gamma radiation.
- b. Energency workers should clip the TLD and the self-reading dosine-ters to their inside clothes somewhere between the neck and waist.
The windows on the TLD should face outward.
- c. Each emergency worker should retain their individual TLD until the end of jihe emergency when the TLD's should be returned to the Deconts.sination Administrator.
- 2. Self-reading Dosiasters
- a. Self-reading dosimeters enable emergency workers to continually keep track of individual radiological exposure. However, self-reading dosimeters are not as accurate as TLD's and also only record gamma I radiation.
1
- b. Each emergency worker will be given two self-reading dosimeters to wear while inside the risk area. One dosimeter will serve as a back-up for the other.
(i) CDV-138 dosimeters can measure between 0 - 200 milliroentgens of gamma radiation, and would be the primary dosimeter used by emergency workers in radiological response.
Pega 2 of 3 APPENDIX P5 (ii) CDV-730 dosimeters can measure between 0 - 20 rogentgens of gamma radiation and would serve as the back-up dosimeters for j emergency workers.
- c. Since the self-reading dosimeters do not have their own batteries, they must be charged or zeroed before they can be used. CDV-750 dosimeters charges are used to zero dosimeters for accuracy and recording purposes. You should zero your dosimeters before use.
Read
- hem and record your exposure on the " Personnel Exposure Record". --
- d. Dosimeters should be read every half hour and the reading recorded.
- e. Reading and Charging a Dosimeter:
Point the dosimeter at a source of light - even a match or a flashlight will do - and observe the position of the hairline indicator. If the line is visible and less than about one quarter up-scale, record the reading. If the line is above one-quarter scale or not visible, the dosimeter must be zeroed.
- To operate the dosimeter charger, lossen the thumbscrew in the top or botton center of the charger with a coin and remove the bottom of the case. Install a bettery, observing polarity (+ and
-), and reassemble.
Position the charger on a flat, steady surface. Unscrew the cap on the charging contact and place the end of the dosimeter (opposite the pocket clip and eye piece) on the charging contact of the charger.
Apply a firm downward pressure. You should see a meter scale and hairline while looking through the dosimeter. If no line is visible, rotate the control knob of the charger until a line appears. ,
Set the line on, or slightly above, zero using the control knob.
Be sure to read the self-reading dosimeter with a light source immediately af ter zeroing because the setting can shif t slightly after removal from the charger.
To read the dosimeter at any time, point it at a source of light and note the reading by looking through the dosimeter. Your accumulated exposure, in Roentgens or M1111rogentgens (R or mR),
is the number you now read less your initial reading.

The Decontamination Staff should remove their last set of protective clothing and place it in the available plastic containers. The order of removal of this attire is similar to that used when handling septic patients, with the gloves removed last. As shoe covers are removed, each attendant should step across the junction between the contaminated area and the clean part. Here the attendant should be carefully monitored and, if found free of contamination, should pass through the clean area. If attendants are contaminated, they should change clothes, wash to remove local contamination or take a general shower and be resurveyed. When all attendants have lef t the area, it. should be roped off, access restricted, and all asterial and equipment should be lef t until a repre-sentative of DPHS who is knowledgeable in special surveying and decontamination, arrives to clean up the area.
