f'~'N SECTION I - GENERAL b
A. Backaround
- 1. The Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) is located in the Town of Plymouth in the State of Massachusetts on the shore of Cape Cod Bay. .
- 2. A hazard consideration for PNPS is the potential unplanned release of radioactive material resulting from an emergency at the plant. The ,
probability of such a release is considered very low due to design and structural specifications required and enforced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and redundant safety systems.
,< ~
( _J 3. Federal guidelines require emergency plannning for the areas within approximately a 10-mile and a 50-mile radius of PNPS. These areas, referred to as Emergency Planning Zones (EPZ), are areas in which certain types of protective measures for the public may need to be taken in the event of a radioactive release. Areas in close proximity to PNPS are more likely to be affected by a release; therefore, the 10-mile EPZ has been divided into sub-areas so the 1
response effort can be directed toward the affected portion of the EPZ. The EPZ sub-area boundaries are based upon compass direction and distance radii from PNPS as well as geogra6hical and political considerations.
'~'
- 4. Hithin the 10-mile EPZ, the exposure to the public may come from V
I-1 11/04/87 ,
f .s direct contact with deposited material, the plume or by inhalation of i radioactive particles in the plume. Exposure within the 50-mile EPZ may come from ingestion of contaminated food, water or milk. The majority of this plan is concerned with emergency planning and protective measures for the Town of Plymouth situated within the 10-mile EPZ.
- 5. The Town of Plymouth has a goverinental system capable of handling emergency situations a's a result of severe weather, hurricanes, and snow emergencies. This has been demonstrated through actual experience in evacuations during all seasons of the year, whereby governmental units support evacuation and have procedures in place for warning and evacuation assistance. This experience provides a
-, realistic basis for adequate response to an emergency at PNPS.
~
B. Assumptions
- 1. A radiological emergency can arise from operations at PNPS, whether from a minor release of radioactive material contained within the PNPS site or a major release of material from the most serious design basis accident.
- 2. PNPS will comply with the prompt notification requirement.
- 3. PNPS will provide essential information to State agencies as to the magnitude of the release, areas affected, and any recommended v
I-2 11/04/87
- l
, protective actions.
\
- 4. Town governmental agencias will respond, as required, to fulfill their responsibilities in providing for public safety.
- 5. State agencies will respo'nci to assist the Town of Plymouth and ,
implement responsibilities assigned in the Massachusetts Comprehensive Emergency Response Plan.
- C. Scoce
- 1. This plan includes Town,. State, and Federal agencies, and quasi-government and private volunteer organizations respons.ible for ,
~
or capable of planning for and responding to an emergency at PNPS.
- 2. The plan designates responsibilities and the method of implementation for agencies to fulfill their response roles.
- 3. The plan describes the various protective actions to be taken in the event of an emergency at PNPS.
- 4. The plan was prepared to conform with requirements and guidelines astabli'shed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is ,
consistent with the Massachusetts Comprehensive Radiological Emergency Response Plan.

l Preparation for coping with an emergency at PNPS necessitates a joint cooperative effort by Town, State, and Federal agencies., quasi-government and private volunteer organizations; and Boston Edison Company (BECo).
This plan defines the Town's role and identifies the resources and .
interface that must exist among involved agencies at all levels. This plan is supported by Implementing Procedures (IP's) which include detailed instructions on when and how each of the response actions are to be performed.
E. Concent of Ooerations
- 5. Direction and Control ,
The direction and control of off-site emergency activities in the Town of Plymouth is the responsibility of the Board of Selectmen.
(a) The Board of Selectmen will receive advice and support from the Civil Defense Director, and other Emergency Operations Center (EOC) staff members.
(b) The Civil Defense Director will coordinate response efforts with Town, State, and Federal agencies, and quasi-government and private voluntee.r organizations.
I-4 11/04/87
- 2. Notification Dr. AFT (j
(a) In'the event of an emergency at PNPS, the Town of Plymouth '
Police Dispat;her will be notified by the Massachusetts State
, Police.
(b) The Police Dispatcher at a 24-hour dispatch point will notify the Board of Selectmen, Civil Defense Director, and other designated agencies / individuals as described in Section II, Part E of the plan. The Civil Defense Director will verify and ensure that Town agencies / individuals are notified.

- 3. Protective Actions i l
1 Sheltering and evacuation are the two primary protective actions .
which may be recommended for the general public within the plume exposure pathway. Other available protective measures designed to support or supplement these two protective actions include access control, ad hoc respiratory protection and radioprotective drugs for i
the institutionalized population. j Areas in close proximity to and dowowind from PNPS are more likely .to. -
. be' affected by a. release; therefore, the 10-mfle EPZ has been divided into subareas, so that protective actions may be taken in the particular part of the EPZ affected by a release (See Figure J-2, page II-J-31 for my of EPZ and its subareas). Furthermore, 9 protective actions may be used in combination with one another.
In order to implement protective actions, resources beyond what is available on a daily basis may be needed. In addition to resources provided through letters of agreement, additional assistance, and the authority for making it available, are provided through-the Governor's State of Emergency declaration.
o ,,
The various actions available to protect the public in the plume
(
II-J-4 11/05/87
kJ
, exposure pathway are described below.
DRAFT
- a. Shelterin'a Sheltering may be recommended for the rapid passage of a plume, or when weather and/or road conditions indicate that sheltering l
would be safer than requesting an evacuation. Most year-round '
homes and buildings in the 10-mile EPZ are insulated and could provide sufficient protection and shelter against direct and -
inhalation exposure. If sheltering is the protective action recommended to the public, they will be instructed to do the following:
,' (1) Re~ main indoors with ventilation systems. turned off and doors and windows closed.
(2) Continue to monitor local radio / television stations for further EBS instructions /information.
(3) If traveling in a vehicle, close windows, air circulation systems and vents and proceed out of the EPZ or seek more !
permanent shelter.
- b. Evacuation Evacuation is the appropriate protective action for releases of long duration or high intensity. If evacuation is the recommended protective action, residents will be instructed to II-J-5 .

lodging is needed, report to the, reception center located at least 5 miles beyond the 10-mile EPZ boundary.
At the reception center, the evacuees will be monitored for contamination, decontaminated (if necessary) and registered. ,
. Those evacuees who require lodging will be assigned to a care center.
Hest of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, driving out of the EPZ using designated evacuation routes (See Figure 0.3, page II-J-32 for a map of evacuation
~
routes). .

Access control consists of the establishment of barriers and/or j n
the assignment of personnel to restrict access to all or part of the 10-mile EPZ. ,
I At the ALERT classification level, recreational areas and major l l
events will be closed to the public. Primary points of entry to !
recreational areas and major events will be controlled to restrict access to a closed area. .
Access control will be used in conjunction with sheltering and j II-J-6 il/05/87 1
l-DFIAFT evacuation protective actions. Access control can be highly 4
(/ '
effective in preventing the exposure of persons by preventing them from traveling through the EPZ. It is also an effective 1 means of reducing traffic congestion on key roadways and'for providing security of evacuated areas.
Those points necessary to control access into an affected area will be activated. 1 The Massachusetts State Police coordinates access control activities. Personnel from Massachusetts State Police, Troop-0, Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, and local police
. departments.will staff access control points. The Massachusetts
/i Department of Public Horks and local public works departments d
will provide the necessary equipment to support access control.
Access to an affected area will be controlled until reentry of the public is authorized. The Massachusetts National Guard will support access control by providing relief personnel.
The U.S. Coast Guard, with assistance from town harbor masters will control access into the portion of Cape Cod Bay within the 10-mile EPZ.
The MCDA Headquarters will contact appropriate authorities to
~
restrict air and rail traffic.

- d. Ad Hoc Respiratory Protection Respiratory. protection may be recommended on an ad hoc. basis.
This can be accomplished by placing a cotton handkerchief or wash -%th over the nose and mouth. Ad hcc respiratory protection can increase the effectiveness of sheltering by ,
reducing inhalation exposure.
. It could also be used during an evacuation if the public must, at any time, pass through a radioactive plume.
l The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is responsible for recommending ad hoc respiratory protectioni if warranted. The public would be advised ovef EBS stations'of the need for ad hoc respiratory protection and how it is to be improvised.
- e. Fadiocrotective Druos Potassium Iodide (KI), the most commonly used thyroid blocking agent, saturates the thyroid gland with non-radioactive iodine which blocks the uptake of radioactive iodine. According to MDPH policy, KI will not be distributed to the general public.

persons, mobility impaired, persons'i'n recreational 1 areas,' workers for major employers and persons in special facilities.
The appropriate officer in the EOC will coordinate the protective i
response for their respective special population group.
Members of the Special Population who are residents or normally work in the EPZ will shelter in their own home or workplace in the same manner as the general public. EPZ visitors in the area, such as tourists, will require assistance in sheltering; therefore, public
.2 shelters have been established for their use.

- b. The TLD is not direct reading, but is more accurate than the s.,) '
SRD's, and provides a permanent exposure record for the individual emergency worker. Boston Edison has contracted Yankee Atomic lab to process TLD's during an emergency on a 24-hour basis.
- c. The SRD provides the wearer with a visual indication of the cumulative dose received for the mission. The SRD is direct-reading, allowing the emergency worker to check the total dose received at any time. The SRD documented readings provide the permanent record (official dose) in the event an individual's TLD is lost or damaged.
- d. The radiological dosimeter etjarger (CDV-750) is used to charge (V or "REZER0" the SRDs. The chargers will be kept at the dosimetry issuing points.
- e. Calibrated survey meters contained in redistributed monitoring and decontamination kits are used to determine the presence of contamination. The CDV-700 survey meter is used to locate and quantify extr 141 radioactive contamination on personnel or equipment, to detect potential internal thyroid contamination, and to measure dose rates in low intensity radiation fields.

- a. Emergency workers report their dose in IR increments to their Dosimetry Coordinator. These readings are forwarded to all levels of the Radiological Exposure Control Organization (Figure K-1, page II-K-9). Also, since there is a need to ensure that 1 certain actions conveying information are put into writing, each level of the organization that provides any monitoring or decontamination ensures that these efforts are documented.
- b. Individuals are instructed to read their self-reading dosimetry devices at least every 30 minutes and~more frequently when directed by MCDA Area II Radiological Officer.
- / .
b c. The exposure received from each mission is entered on the REP card and the cumulative exposure maintained. The REP card is kept with the emergency worker for the duration of the emergency.
- d. The Dosimetry Coordinator responsible for issuing docimetry keeps a log of equipment issued, and continually tracks the accumulated emergency worker dose. The dosimetry logs are updated when doses are reported to the Dosimetry Coordinator.

DCAFT If MDPH- i i
(,) agrees that the exposure is warranted, the individual may be allowed to receive'a voluntary exposure of up to 75 REM for a lifesaving activity.
- d. If the emergency worker is a town employee, the town
. radiological officer will verify the circumstances and inform the MCDA Area II Radiological Officer of the situation and any implementation that is being carried out. Follow-up information will be provided to the Area II Radiological Officer who will relay such information to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health at the HCDA Headquarters in Framingham.
- 5. Thyroid Excosure Limits ,'
- a. If the thyroid dose to emergency workers is projected to exceed 25 REM, emergency workers who may be exposed are instructed to take potassium iodide. This decision is made to allow sufficient time for maximum effectiveness of potassium iodide.
- b. Potassium Iodide (KI), the most commonly used thyroid blocking agent, saturates the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine to block uptake of radioactive iodine. KI is supplied to the MCDA for distribution to emergency workers. The HCDA places a full dose complement of KI tablets in each dosimetry packet to allow
.% emstgency workers to begin use promptly and voluntarily only )
