YANKEE _ MUTUAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT A. INTROD_UCTION The Yankee organization has developed a cooperative arrangement between Yankee Nuclear Services Division OrNSD), and the Yankee Plant, Vermont Yankee, Maine Yankee, Sea'erook Station, and the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (here after referred to as " participating plants"). Under the Yankee Mutual Assistance Agreement, a radiological emergency at any participating plant would be met with additional support from the unaffected plants. The Agreement is lesigned to provide direct support when requested by the management of a plant erperiencing a radiological emergency. Plant etuergency procedures provide the mecaanism for initiating a request for mutual assirtance.
B. YNSD ROLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATICL{
The role of YNSD in the Yankee Mutual Assistance Agreement is to assist the .
affected plant by coordinating technical manpower, equ!pment, and nsources vallable from participating plants.
When notiSed of an " Alert," " Site Area," or " General Emergency" at Vermont Yankee, Maine Yankee, or Seabrook Station, YNSD will activate its Engineering Support Center (ESC). At the discretion of Plant Management the ESC may also be activated if an Unusual Event is declared at any of these plants. Once notiSed, YNSD emergency response activities will be performed in accordance with the YNSD Emergency Support Plan. This support plan is, maintained by YNSD and subject to 10CFR50.54(t) audits. Mutual assistance for Boston Edison's (BEco)
Pilgrim Station will be limited to technical assistance ooly. The YNSD Engineering Suppart Center (E3C) will not be activraed unless YNSD Management determines that it is required to support BECo.

YNSD maintains a l subscription with Weather Services International (WSD which allows access to the following information:
. Hourly regional National Weather Senice (NWS) obsenations;
- Radar plots of regional activity;
YNSD meteorological services personnel are available to assist EOF dose assessment personnel in evaluating the effects of plume transport and difusion.
E. YNSD ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY ANALYTICAL AND DOSIMETRIC SERVICES
- 1. Genern!
The Yankee Environmental Laboratory in Westboro, Massachusetts, is equipped to provide radiochemical processing of all types of environmental media sampled as part of each participating plant's ongoing off site environmental radiation suneillance programs. In the event of a radiologiul eme gency at any participating plant, Laboratory staf are available, on A % hour emergency call basis, to perform gamma isotopic analyses on sample., taken by the plant's emergency monitoring teams. In
' svailability of gamma spectrometen at the Laboratory, a addition w portable gamma spectroscopy system can be deployed to a plant site to determine the presence and level of contamination in samples of various media in the event of an accidental release of radioactive material. In addition to the analytical capabilities in the area of envirounental surveillance, the Laboratory maintains a large scale environmental and misun Page 3 of 12

i Within hours of notincation, a complete dosimetry processing system een be i fully operational at a remote site for immediate turnaround of l environmental and personnel do.dmatry from plant staff and emergency l 3ampling teams.
I
- 2. Portable Emercenev Analvsis Eouiement Portable analysis equipment employed during an emergency response includes a shielded HPGe detector based gamma spectroscopy system complete with computerized spectral analysis capability. The system Unerates a report of plant related nuclide concentrations, standard deviation, and Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) which is forwarded to assessti2ent personnel. Although the equipment is considered portable,it requires setup in a permanent locativa ith an adequate regulated power source.
A four wheel drive company vehide is maintained at the Environmental Laboratory in Westboro and is used to transport required equipment.
Following a request from a plant for assistance in assessing an emergency condition, laboratory personnel will be dispatched to a designated location within four hours. Upon arrival, laboratory personnel will detennine the presence and level of contamination in samples of various media (air cartridges, air filten, vegetation, water) collected by Field Sampling Teams.
- 3. Emercenev TLD Service During an emergency, one of the fully automated TLD processing systems operated at the Westboro Laboratory, can be transported to the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), or other remote location to allow a faster turnaround of personnel and environmental dosimetry. A set of 500 personnel whole body dosimeters is continuously available for issuance during an emergency and at the onset of the event, additional TLDs can be Page 4 of 12 misum

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING MEDICAL SERVICES FOR A RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY In an effort to provide optimal care for any persons contaminated and injured in an accident involving radioactive materials or radiation exposure, a cooperative .
plan has been developed between the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company, Wiscasset,
[ Maine; the Midcoast Hospital, Bath, Maine; and the Maine Medical Center, Portland, Maine. The plan takes into consideration the type of expertise available at each of the above facilities and serves as a guide to the most appropriate locations for management of contaminated or exposed persons in the course of emergency management.
The plan does not specify details of later or long-term patient care; it does make use of referral protocols already in place for other serious medical or surgical emergencies.
Depending upon the nature and severity of injury, radiation casualties will be cared for at different sites: ,
I. Manacement of Persons with Radioactive Cont' amination and Vithout iniurv.
In general, these persons need not be transported to a medical facility.
Decontamination will be carried out on site at the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company by Maine Yankee personnel. Patients with non-removable
( surface contamination or with internal contamination may be transfarred to
. [ the Midcoast Hospital for evaluation and triage.
!!. Manacement of Persons with Radioactive Contamination and Minor iniuries.
Includine Puncture Wounds.
Persons who have minor injuries and simultaneous radioactive contamination
( will be managed first at Maine Yankee and transferred to the Midcoas,t Hospital if determined necessary by medical response personnel. W)en ,

the primary recipient of such cases of significant trauma and simultaneous l contamination. The Maine Medical Center, per normal trauma protocol, will
( be requested to receive pitients designated by triage from the Midcoast
( Hospital, as determined necessary by Midcoast Hospital. Patients who have ,
severe burns, who require intracranial procedures or who . require i
mechanical ventilatory assistance will be transported preferentially to the Maine Medical Center, along with a Maine Yankee radiological controls staff member.
IV. Manacement of Persons Mth Radiation Sickness With or Without Radioactiva Contamination.
Any patients who exhibit signs 'and symptoms of acute radiation syndrome or ;
who may have received a whole body exposure in excess of 100 R will be
( transported to the Midcoast Hospital for observation and evaluation.
Decontamination initiated at the accident site will be completed at the hospital to the extent possible. If blood counts indicate an exposure over 200 R or if there is any question of the clinical severity or course of treatment, the patient (s) may be transferred to the Maine Medical f
Center for evaluation and possible referral to other treatment centers.'

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company's plan for responding to emergencies that may arise at the Maine Yankee site while in a permanently shutdown arid defueled condition. In this configuration, no reactor operations can take place. The fuel is stored in the Spent Fuel Pool and the plant is prohibited from moving the fuelinto the reactor vessel. An analysis of the possible design basis events and consequences is presented in the Final Safety Analysis Report.
The analyses of the potential radiologicalimpact of an accident at Maine Yankee in the permanently defueled condition indicMes that any releases beyond the exclusion area boundary are expected to be less than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guide (PAG) exposure levels, as detailed (
in EPA-400-R-92-001," Manual of Protective Act!on Guides anu Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents"(Ref.1). Exposure levels which may warrant pre-planned response measures are generally limited to the Site Boundary. For this reason, g radiological emergency planning is focused on the Site Boundary. -
The plan acknowledges the substantially reduced risk of any potential accidents in the plant's permanently shutdown and defueled configuration and the associated reduced consequences. This plan reflects the fact that the Maine Yankee has been permanently shutdown and defueled and therefore poses a significantly reduced potential risk to the public's health and s/.'ty. The overall purpose of the plan is to delineate the actions necessary to safeg ard plant personnel and minimize damage to site p"operty in the event of an incident at the plant.

2.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION L
2.1 Maine Yankee Site 2.1.1 Overview The Maine Yankee Site is located in the town of Wiscasset, Lincoln County, Maine. Site Coordinates are approximately 43 degress 57 minutes 5 seconds north latitude and 69 degrees 41 m:nutes 45 seconds west longitude. The site, of approximately 820 acres,is bounded by the Back River on the east, mainland on the norih and Birch Point Road on the west, in addition, Maine Yankee owns Foxbird Island and Little Oak Island. The plant is located or, a peninsula known as Bailey Point which extends south to Montsweag Bay (Figure 2-1).
The site (Figure 2-2) consists of an industrial area, spent fuel pool cooling and support systems and several office / administration buildings. Deconstruction and dismantling operations will take place within the industrial area, with the various systems, components and buildingt! structures being systematically removed in accordance with the general decomm!ssioning plan.
Spent nuclear fuel will be placed in long term storage within the specified secure fuel storage area and will be monitored by both an operating crew and the security force.
2.2 General Area Within 5 miles of the site, land use is largely rural residential, sma;I businesses, summer houses, idle farmland and forest. Housing is scattered along principal roads and is concentrated only in the center of Wiscasset.
The waters of the Back River, Montsweag Bay and associated tributaries are tiaal ar j open to boating, both commercial and recreational. Regulation of this boating is the responsibility of the U.S. Coast Guard and the State of Maine.
These waters are reported to be relatively low in the production of fish and shellfish. The primary type of boating in the Montsweag Bay - Back River is shallow draft pleasure boats. With no commercial traffic in the area, there is essentially no hazard to the site from potential accidents with commercial barges or boats carrying hazardous, toxic or explosive materials.
Inuustrial activity within the general area of the plant is minimal. The largest industrial facility L, the Bath iron Works, a shipbuilding facility located on the Kennebec River approximately 10 miles sOJthwest in the city of Bath.
The Wiscasset Municipal Airport is the nearest airport to the site and is located over a mile northwest of the site. It consists of one runway (approximately 3,400 feet long by 75 feet wide). This runway is aligned such that takeoffs and landings are on headings of either 070 or 250 (the predominant heading is 250).
The majority of aircraft that are serviced by this facility are privately owned and are similar to the Piper Colt, Cherokee, Cessna 150 and 172 type craft. The largest aircraft that typically use the facility are similar to the Lear 25, Citation 11 and Rockwell Commander type craft.

_7 3.0 TYPES OF ACCIDENTS ,
3.1 Radiological Accidents in the defueled condition, the spectrum of credible accidents is reduced to those involving the spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste from the decontamination process. In these instances the immediate hazard is limited to personnel ensite at the time of the event. There are no credible design basis accidents or any other incredible postulated accidents that would exceed these limits at the Maine Yankee site boundary (refer to Maine Yankee FSAR, Chapter 14 for specific incident description and analysis results).
3.1.1 Fuel Handling incident The fuel handling incident analyzed in the FSAR consists of dropping one assembly to the bottom of the Spent Fuel Pool, rupturing all of the fuel rods in the assembly and eventually releasing fission products to the atmosphere. A reanalysis of this incident has determined that, one year after shutdown, the calculated whole body dote at the site boundary would be less than the US EPA PAGs. (Ref.1) 3.1.2 Spent Fuel Cask Drop The spent fuel shipping casks are designed to withstand a free fall of 30 feet onto an unyielding surface. The design of the Maine Yankee spent fuel cask handling system does not allow the casks to be at an elevation greater than 30 feet whenever the cask is not directly over the spent fuel pool. By system design, the spent fuel shipping cask does not pass over the spent fuel storage racks during transfer operations. Radiological consequences of a dropped cask into the spent fuel pool have been determined to be less than tnose resulting from a fuel handling incident.
3.1.3 Radioactive Liquid Waste System Leaks and Failures These events involve release of radioactive materials from systems other than the RCS and secondary system. This includes a leak or failure of the liquid radioactive waste system, The analysis for this event assumes the PDT contains undecayed, undegassed G actor coolant at the Technical Specification limits for activity. While the termination of reactor operations at Maine Yankee facility did not eliminate the postulated failure of the PDT, the production of radioactive liquids associated with reactor operation has ceased. Only the production of radioactive liquids from such functions as the spent fuel pool purification or decommissioning activities remain. Facility activities will be managed such that the doses resulting from radioactive liquid waste system failures will continue to be below a small fraction of the values in the 10CFR100 " Reactor Site Criteria".
3.2 Non-Radiological Accidents The spectrum of non-radiological accidents that could necessitate implementation of this Emergency Plan is also limited. The scope of these accidents involve events that could lead to a degraded response capability at the site or could lead to a more serious condition if not dealt with in an expeditious and coordinated manner. These events fallinto the category of general industrial incidents (fire, explosion, toxic material release, etc.), natural and 3.1 10/23/97
___ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ . ~
d;structiva ph; nomen (hurricana, torn do, ctc.) or s:curity cv:nts. Th3 determination as to which events are included is based on the probability of occurrence, the potentia! severity and the potential impact on the facility of the event.
9 3.2.1 Loss of System Monitoring Capabilities .
Various systems are employed to monitor the status of plant processes.
Although there are a limited number of conditions that could pose a threat to personnel onsite, the need to monitor system status is pertinent to the overall safety of the workers. Systems that need to be monitored include SFP cooling, fire detection and suppression, radiation area and process monitors and meteorological monitors. An unexplained loss of any of these systems could constitute a situation requiring additional resources to both monitor the parameters and restore the monitoring capability.
3.2.2 Loss of Communications Systems The ability to maintain effective communications remains a key component of managing routine facility activities. In the event of an off-normal condition, the importance of basic communications capabilities to onsite staff and offsite organizaticas is elevated. The inability to contact either inplant staff or offsite organizations could result in a minor event escalating in severity such that station personnel are placed at risk. The prolonged or unexplained loss of any of these systems could require activation of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO).
3.2.3 Fire / Explosion and ToxiclFlammable Gas Exposures Events of this type are a concem since they may impact the ability to maintain the spent fuel in a safe configuration or alter the ability to monitor the status of the spent fuel and support systems. The need for a detailed assessment of systems and structures following a fire or explosion is emphasized in these situations since minor undetected damage could have an adverse impact on spent fuel integrity.
Similarly, exposure to hazardous (toxic or flammable) gases could result in significant personnel safety issues that impact the facility operators' ability to perform required activities to maintain spent fuel integrity.
3.2.4 Security Compromise Events that impact the security of the facility are discussed in the Security Plan.
In general, these events represent a threat to the level of sefety of the plant due 5
to unauthorized access end physical evidence supporting a hostile intrusion into designated secure areas.
Events that fall into these areas will be categorized under the appropriate category in the classification process discussed in Section 4, CLASSIFICATION OF ACCIDENTS.

Q_
4.0 CLASSIFICATION OF ACCIDENTS There are no credible design basis accidents that would exceed the PA PAGs at the Maine Yankee site boundary. Therefore, the Unusual Event and Ale, are the only classifications recognized for all events. Events will be classified base: i on predetermined emergency action levels (EALs). This approach provides a graded, predetermined response to the incident, allowing a coordinated and phased approach to the eventual mitigation of the conditions and restoring the facility to a safe status. In addition, it recognizes the limited potential hazaM posed by the facility in the permanently defueled condition and fuel being stored in the spent fuel pool.
4.1 Definition 4.1.1 Unusual Event Events are in process or have occurred which Indicate a potential deg.'adation of the level of safety of the plant.
4.1.2 Alert Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
4.2 Categories of Events There are three categories of events that can lead to an event being classified as an emergency condition. These categories cover the spectrum of incidents that could pose a threat to the safe storage of spent fuel, facility staff, general population or any combination thereof.
4.2.1 System Degradation Events that compromise the ability to monitor essential facility systems (SFP cooling, level, radiation monitoring, etc.) or the ability to establish and maintain communications (either within the facility or offsite).
4.2.2 Hazardsisecurity/ED Judgement These events pose a significant threat to safe operatic' of the facility and/or staff. In addition, the Emergency Director has the discretion to classify any event based on conditions that may not be included in the classification scheme, but may indeed threaten the facility / staff.
4.2.3 Abnormal Radiation Levels / Release of Radioactive Materials During the decommissioning of the facility, the potential exists for elevated radiation levels to occur. Instances where the levels exceed anticipated values or radioactiv materials are released in an uncontrolled manner that exceed predetermined limits can lead to an emergency classification.
4.1 10/23/97
5.0 DETECTION OF ACCIDENTS 5.1 Area and Process Radiation Monitors 5.1.1 Area Radiation Monitors The Radiation Monitoring System consists of various area monitors located throughout the facility. In the defueled condition, attention will focus on those monitors that provide an indication that the spent fuel has been compromised or a potential radiological hazard to workers in the facility exists. The monitors of greatest interest are associated with the spent fuel pool building. These monitors will be used to determine if an Emergency Action Level has been met or exceeded, if evacuation is necessary for the area and to determine appropriate stay times for damage control / repair activities in effected areas.
These monitors read out locally and in the Control Room.
5.1.2 Process Monitors The number and type of process monitors used for accident assessment is also limited to those which will indicate a compromise of the spent fuel, spent fuel poolintegrity and radioactive waste processing systems. The monitors of interest are the Primary Vent Stock (Gas / Particulate) and Liquid Waste Disposal.
5.2 System Status Monitors 5.2.1 Spent Fuel Pool Parameters The SFP water level is maintained at a level to ensure the spent fuel remains covered with a sufficient volume of water to prevent exposing any elements under normal operating conditions. Systems are in place to provide makeup water to the SFP in the event of a system line break or liner rupture. In the event of a loss of water level, or under worst case boil off conditions (60 g.p.m.),
several sources of makeup water are available to maintain fuel pool level.
5.2.2 Fire Detection Systems There are numerous smoke and heat detectors throughout the plant, based on previously assigned Fire Zones. The system has visual and audible annunciators that alarm locally and in the Control Room. These systems provide input to the various fire suppression systems installed in the facility.
5.2.3 Meteorological Monitoring A meteorological tower is located on site that monitors Wind Direction, Speed, and Ambient Air Temperature at elevations 197' and 35'. In addition, the system generates a differential temperature between the two heights for use in dose assessment calculations and measures cumulative precipitation over a specific time span.

6.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND MITIGATION OF CONSEQUENCES 6.1 - Emergency Reslionse Overview.
In the event of an accident at the facility, actions will be taken by facility staff to minimize the impact of the event. The primary objective of the initial responders
- is to assess the situation and minimize the risk imposed on workers and the general public. This involves operation / initiation of designated systems designed to mitigate a particular hazard. Subsequent actions include notifications, staff accountability and augmentation, implementation of onsite protective actions (sheltering and evacuation), contamination control, decontamination and first aid.
6.2 Facilities and Equipment 6.2.1 Facilities 6.2.1.1 Control Room The on-shift Operations staff will monitor spent fuel pool status from the Control Room. From this location, determination of the existence and the extent of an emergency will bc accomplished. Notifications to onsite staff and offsite organizations will be made in accordance with established procedures. Onsite notifications willinform personnel of the condition and any actions necessary to mitigate the event or to minimize personal risk to the workers. Offsite notifications will be made to provide general information and/or to request specific assistance in dealing with the event.
6.2.1.2 Technical Support Center The Technical Support Center (TSC)is located on the first floor of the Staff Building (Fig. 6-1). This building is constructed of 12 inches of reinforced concrete. All walls are below ground sevel with the exception of approximately 50% of the suth we'i. The ceiling is constructed of solid concrete, varying in thickness from 8 % inches to 10 % inches. The shielding provided by the ground and concrete walls and ceilings affords a protection factor of at least 5 to direct gamma exposure in the event of a radiological release.
Access to the Control Room and other areas of the plant during emergency conditions will be via the personnel tunnel that connects the south end of the first floor of the staff building to the turbine hall. A similar degree of shielding is provided for the tunnel as the TSC.
The TSC provides space for the designated members of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) to mnduct analysis and support functions for the Control Room staff in response to the event. The TSC will be activated for any event classified as an ALERT and may be activated for other reasons at the discretion of the Shift Manager / Emergency Director, in addition, the following functions will be coordinated from the TSC: emergency managemeat, subsequent Event Classifications, offsite notifications and communication, Damage Contiol/ Repair coordination and facility restoration planning.
The TSC is sized to accommodate approximately 35 responders performing general engineering and analysis tasks. Communication systems are 6.1 10/23/97
cv;ilabl] to cllow int:raction with the Control Room, g:n:r:I f cility locations and offsite organizations, as necessary. Various equipment has been assembled and stored in or near the TSC for use by the ERO, including Personal Protective Equipment, SCBA, radiation monitoring and sampling
- equipment.
6.2.1.3 Assembly Areas Facility staff that are directed to evacuate the Industrial Area will be directed to report to one of several predesignated assembly areas (Fig. 6-2). The Career Center is located diagonally across the access road from the gatehouse, it can accommodate approximately 100-150 ' people and is not intended to be used for any response activities or staging operations.
The Staff Building is located north of the Industrial Area and can accommodate approximately 200 people. Portions of the building provide some level of shielding from direct radiation.
6.2.2 Equipment Equipment is maintained for emergency response activities in various locations on site. The majority of equipment is located in the Staff Building, Room 116 and in the TSC Additional equipment is located in the Control Room. Supplies are inventoried on a quarterly basis to ensure operability and availabliity at all times. Equipment for responding to radioactive or hazardous materials spills are maintained by the respective departments' processes.
6.3 Mitigation 6.3.1 Onsite Protective Actions 6.3.1.1 Evacuation, Assembly, Accountability and Search and Rescue in the event of an emergency, personnel not directly involved with the response will be evacuated from the facility. Staff will be notified using the plant siren and genero: paging system. An assembly area will be established, based on the nature of the event, at the Staff Building, Information Building / Career Center, or other location determined by the ED.
The ED will determine the appropriate egress / access routes and provide that information to the affected staff. Once the facility has been evacuated of non-responders, accountability of all persons in the plant at the time of the event will be established. Security will maintain accountability of personnel, report any missing persons to the TSC and participate in Search and Rescue efforts, as necessary.
6.3.1.2 First Aid / Medical Response Personal injuries will be reported to the Control Room as soon as possible after discovery of the injured party. Medical Responders will report to the scene and initiate first aid treatment to stabilize the patient and prepare for transport to a medical facility. First Aid kits are located in the First Aid room and at various locations in the facility. Injuries may be complicated by the presence of radiation and/or a contaminating substance (chemical or radiological). The patient will be assessed to determine if a life-threatening condition exists and appropriate actions taken to either contain or remove the 6.2 10/23/97
4 contamination. In addition, environmental f;ctors will be tak:n into cccount regsrding the need to stabilize the patient in place or remove to a safer area (i.e. lower radiation levels, etc.). Maine Yankee maintains a Letter of Agreement with the Wiscasset Ambulance Service for traneporting injured / contaminated workers from the site to a receiving hospital. In addition, agreements have been made with the Midcoast Hospital (Brunswick) and Maine Medical Center (Portland) for treating personnel with various types of injuries / conditions.
6.3.1.3 Personnel Monitoring Personnel working in known radiation areas will be issued dosimetry in accordance with existing radiation protection procedures. During emergency conditions, they will retain their dosimetry and report to either their assigned emergency station or the assembly aroa. If a person suspects they may be contaminated, they will be monitored as they pass through the portal monitors in the gatehouse and at the assembly area as soon as practicable.
If there is a possibility of intemal contamination, the person will undergo bioassay /whole body counting as soon as practicable, based on the nature of the event.
Emergency response personnel, arriving without desimetry, will be issued dosimetry as needed for assigned tasks (i.e. damege control teams entering the hazard area).
Exposure control will be done in accordance with the site Radiation Protection and ALARA programs. Dose extensions may be granted in excess of the limits of 10CFR20 for special circumstances. These extensions will be in accordance with EPA-400-R-92-001, Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear incidents. Extensions above the 10CFR20 limits must be approved by the Emergency Director. The anticipated emergency exposures are within the limits specified in Table 6-1.

6.4 10/23/97
6.3.1.4 Decontaminction if possible,injuribs should be decontaminated prior to transport to a medicai facility. Decontamination facilities are available in the first aid room. if it is not feasible to decontaminate the patient, standard contamination control
. procedures should be employed to prevent the spread of contamination during transport.
Decontamination of evacuating facility staff will be accomplished as necessary at the assembly areas. Decontamination kits are available in the Staff Building and can be easily transported to the designated ossembly area.
All decontamination activities will be oerformed in accordance with existing Radiation Protection Department procedures.
4 6.3.2 Fire Suppression Several types of fire suppression systems are maintained within the facility.
Each area that has a significant fire load or contains equipment necessary for ensuring spent fuel integrity has an installed sprinkler system. Depending on the type of hazard, the area may contain water, Cardox (Carbon Dioxide) or Halon.
The purpose of these systems is to contain the fire to the area of origin, minimize involvement of adjacent areas, and contain the fire until the fire brigade is assembled and dispatched to conduct more extensive fire suppression activities.
In addition to the sprinkler systems, fire hose stations, carts, SCBA, and protective clothing are provided to aid in responding to a fire emergency. This equipment is located throughout the plant in predesignated areas.
6.3.3 Ventilation l
The plant ventilation system contains various filter media to remcve l
contaminants from the air. Under adverse conditions, normal ventilation flow paths are altered to isolate potentially hazardous areas from occupied spaces.
In addition, the system contains various process monitors to allow staff to assess the effluent flow and take actions as necessary to limit exposure.
6.3.4 Contamination and Hazard Exposure Control l
Surveys will be conducted to determine which areas contain contamination of l either a radiological nature or hazardous substance. These areas will be identified by either marking with boundary rope or tape and access will be limited and controlled according to either the Radiation Protection department or Health and Safety procedures. Monitoring of the area will be conducted using i
appropriate equipment, based on the type of contamination. All personnel o
required to work in the area will be provided appropriate personnel protective equipment (coveralls, respiratory protection equipment, gloves, etc.). The level of protection will be determined by the Radiological / Hazard Assessment Coordinator.

7.0 ASSESSMENT OF PELEASES Using the instrumentaton available, as described in Section 5.0, the initial .
response to an event wil be to ascertain the cause, mitigate further progression and determine the poten ial impact to station personnel and the general public.
Initial assessment will consist of verifying the parameters that indicate a release may be in progress and initiating a dose assessment based on that information.
As soon as practicabit , facility staff should initiate general area radiation surveys and airbome samples to determine the actual extent of a radiological release.
Results of the surveys will be analyzed by facility staff to formulate an action plan to mitigate the event and restore the facility to a safe condition. Survey data will also be used, as appropriate, in any dose assessment techniques.
Once the TSC is staffed, the Radiological / Hazard Assessment Coordina' r assumes responsibility for dose assessment activities. The methodology to be used may consist of computerized dose assessment models, nomograms or hand calculations, depending on the severity of the event and the point of release to the atmosphere. The primary objective of any of these methods is to determine the maximum dose rate and the distance from the point of release where that dose will be realized. From this information, protective actions can be formulated and implemented to minimize the risk to facility staff.
Following the termination of the event, environmental surveys (including, but not limited to water, soil, vegetation, etc.) may be required to determine the long-term impact of the event.
7.1- 10/23/97
c 8.0 RESPONSIBILITIES 8.1 Organizational Control of Emergencies The Emergency Response Organization (ERO)is initially comprised of on shift personnel. Detection and recognition of conditions that warrant declaratior: of an emergency, in accordance with the emergency action levels, is the responsibility of the Shift Manager. Upon declaration of an emergency, the on-shift organization assumes their emergency response duties and implements this plan. The on-shift Emergency Response Organization consists of the Shift Manager /EmergencyDirector (SM/ED), Operator (s) and Security (Fig. 8-1).
Based on the discretion of the SM/ED, the shift staff may be augmented by pre-designated Maine Yankee Staff assigned to the ERO. The goal of the ERO is to be fully staffed within two hours of the Emergency Director's decision to aut, ment the on-shift staff. The ERO is depicted in Figure 8-2.

9.0 NOTIFICATION. COORDINATION. AND PUBLIC INFORMATION When an emergency condition is recognized, the event is classified by the SM/ED and mitigative actions are taken to minimize the progression of the event.
These actions are initiated by available resources. As soon as practicable, the SM/ED will initiate notifications to augment the on-shift organization. The SM/ED will also request any offsite assistance that may be necessary due to the nature of the event. Following initial notifications, the NRC will be notified of the event and mitigative actions in progress or that have been completed.
9.1 initial Notifications 9.1.1 Maine Yankee Staff The SM/ED will request Security to notify the ERO of the event. This will be accomplished by the paging service and/or commercial automated telephone dialing system.- In the event the initiating conditions constitute a security event, these notifications will be carried out by the SM/ED or designee. Notifications to Maine Yankee staff should be completed within 60 minutes of the event declaration.
9.1.2 Outside Organizations Following notification of Maine Yankee staff, the Maine State Police (MSP) will be contacted and provided pertinent information regarding the event classification, actions taken to mitigate the event and any potential assistance which may be necessary from state or local organizations (except fire / ambulance response). As soon as practicable, but within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> of event declaration, the notification to offsite agencies should be complete. Depending on the need for immediate outside assistance, these notifications may be initiated in an accelerated manner (i.e. immediate need for firefighting capabilities or medical assistance). The MSP is staffed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> / day,7 days / week. The MSP have the capability to contact state and county emergency response personnel, if needed.
The MSP will initiate notification to State Officials in the Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), Division of Health Engineering and others as

9.1 10/23/97
9.1.3 Information to be Communicated Following the declaration of an emergency ar.d subsequent notification of the Maine Yankee ERO, the SM/ED will notify the State Waming Point (MSP) of the event. A prescripted format is used to ensure consistent information is provided to the MSP.
At a minimum, the following infonnation will be provided during the initial notification of the event:
Event Classification; Date/ Time of Classification; Reason or events causing the condition; Status of release conditions (radioactive / chemical) and protective actions:
Local meteorological conditions, as they apply to the situation; General description of damage to major structures / areas; Personal injuries; Status of offsite assistance (fire / medical /other);
Name of person making notification; Date and Time of notification.
Information will be verified to ensure it was communicated accurately. This involves the clear and consise transmission of the information and requesting the information to be repeated back verbatim prior to terminating the telephone call.
9.2 Notification and Communication Systems 9.2.1 Paging Service Maine Yankee contracts with a commercial vendor to provide individual and group-wide paging for key management and ERO staff. The contracted service covers the majority of the State of Maine, extends south into Southem Neu Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts. The system is capable of sending an alpha-numeric message to the lndividual pager-wearer to provide an indication of the level of severity of the event and reporting instructions. This system is tested weekly to ensure individual pagers are operational and quarterly to verify ERO response capability. Personnel are assigned pagers based on their function in the ERO.

YANKEE MUTUAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT A. INTRODUCTION The Yankee organization has developed a cooperative arrangement between Yankee Nuclear Services Division (YNSD), and the Yankee Plant, Vermont Yankee, Maine Yankee, Seabrook Station, and the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (here after referred to as ' participating plants"). Under the Yankee Mutual Assistance Agreement, a radiological emergency at any pardeipating plant would be met with additional support from the unaEected plants. The Agreement is designed to provide direct support when requested by the management of a plant experiencing a radiological emergency. Plant emergency procedures provide the mer.hnam for initiating a request for mutual assistance.
B. YNSD ROLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION The rule of YNSD in the Yankee Mutual Assistance Agreement is to assist the ,
afected plant by coordinating technical manpower, equipment, and resources available from panicipating plants.
When notined of an " Alert," " Site Area," or " General Emergency' at Vermont Yankee, Maine Yankee, or Seabrook Station, YNSD will activate its Engineering Support Center (ESC). At the discretion of Plant Management the ESC may also be activated if an Unusual Event is declared at any of these plants. Once noti 5ed, YNSD emergency response activities will be performed in accordance with the YNSD Emergency Support Plan. This support plan is maintained by YNSD and subject to 10CFR50.54(t) audits. Mutual assistance for Boston Edison's (BECo)
Pilgrim Station will be limited to technical assistance only. The YNSD Enginechng Support Center (ESC) will not be activated unless YNSD Management determines that it is required to support BECo.

The Environmental Laboratory is prepared to provide whole be*, counts (WBC) for emergency workers. Although the WBC System (L considered portable, it requires setup in a permanent remote location with the required power supply.
The WBC System is comprised of a portable shleided HPGe detector, interfaced to a PC based ADCI/MCA and IBM compatible portable computer. The analytical methodology provides a whole body scan and identines activity content of the lung, GI, and thyroid.
A result report is generated for those plant related nuclides found to be present at the 99% confidence level.
F. MUTUAL ASSISTANCE AGREEhENT OF PARTICIPATING PLANTS L General General assistance provided to a plant is supplementary in na:ure and noted in Attachments 1 and 2. Participating groups are Chemistry, Radittien Protection, Maintenance and I&C, Operations, and other support personnel from each participating plant.

HEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING MEDICAL SERVICES FOR A RADIOLOGICAL EMERGEN".Y In an effort to provide optimal care for any persons contaminated and injured in en accident involving radioactive materials or radiation exposure, a cooperative .
plan has been developed between the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company, Wiscasset,
[ Maine; the Midcoast Hospital, Bath, Maine; ar.d the Maine Medical Center, Portland, .
Maine. The plan takes into consideration the t"pe of excertise available at each of the above facilities and serves as a guidt to the most appropriate locations for i management of contaminated or exposed persons in the course of emergency management.
The plan uces not specify details of later or long-term patient care; it does make use of referral protocols alrndy in place for other serious medical or surgical emergencies.
Depending upon the nature and seve.rity of injury, radiation ca.eualties will be cared for at different sites:
[. I. Manacement of Persons with Radioactive cont' amination and Without Iniurv.
L In general, these persons need not be transported to a medical facility.
Decontamination will be carried out on site at the Maine Yankee Atomic n
Power Cc pany by Maine Yankee personnel. Patients with non-removable
( surface contamination or with internal contamination may be transferred to
[ the Midecast Hospital for evaluation and triage.
t II. Manacement of Persons with Radioactive Contamination and Minor Iniuries.
includine Puncture Wounds.
Person. who have minor injuries and simultaneous radioactive contamination
[ will be managed first at Maine Yankee and transferred to the Midcoas,t Hospital if determined necessary by medical response personnel, en

possible. decontamina% ion will be completed at Maine Yankee.
III. Manarement of Persons with Ma.ior iniuries and Radioactive Contamination.
4 In cases of severe injury and simultaneous radioactive contamination, the patient (s) will require imediate transportatier, to a medical facility capable pf (a) treating their most urgent problems while (b) decreasing the levels of radioactive contamination. The Midcoast Hospital will be
(
the primary recipient of such cases of significant trauma and simultaneous contamination. The Maine Medical Center, per normal trauma protocol, will
( be requested to receive patients designated by triage from the Midcoast
( Hospital, as determined necessary by Midcoast Hospital. Patients who have severe burns, who require intracranial procedures or who . require mechanie.a1 ventilatory assistance will be transported preferentially to the Maine Medical Center, along with a Maine Yankee radiological controls staff member.
IV. Manacement of Persons with Radiation Sickness With or Without Radioactive Cont am.i n at i on .
Any patients who exhibit signs inc symptoms of scute radiation syndrome or who may have received a whole body exposure in excess of 100 R will be
( transported to the Midcoast Honital for observation and evaluation.
Decontamination initiated at the accident site will be completed at the hospital to the extent possible. If blood counts indicate an exposure over 200 R or if there is any question of the clinical severity or course of treatmer.t. the patient (s) may be transferred to the Maine Medical Center for evaluatior and possibio referral to other treatment centers.'
