1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Application This emergency plan applies to The Pennsylvania State University Breazeale Nuclear Reactor (PSBR) facility. The PSBR is licensed pursuant to Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 10, Part 50.21(b)(l), as a research and utilization reactor (Class 104 li~nsed pursuit to AEA section 104(c), Facility Operating License No. R-2 (Docket No.
50-5).
The emergency plan follows the guidance in ANSI/ANS 15.16-2015 "Emergency Planning for Research Reactors" which is endorsed by Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 2.6; it is consistent with NUREG-0849 "Standard Review Plan for the Review and Evaluation of Emergency Plans for Research and Test Reactors" as well as 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities."
1.2 Objective The objective of this emergel:C;Y plan is to establish guidelines and designate areas of responsibility for the PSBR staff should an accident or incident occur at the PSBRthat may affect the public health and safety. Emergency personnel may deviate from actions described in the plan for unusual or unanticipated conditions. Deviations to license 2onditions or technical specifications are authoriz~ by code of Federal Regulations ,
Title 10, Energy," Part 50, "Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," Sec. 54; "Conditions of Licenses," Paragraph x (10CFR50.54(x)), if immediately needed to protect the public health and safety when equivalent protection within these documents is not apparent.

In addition to the TRIGA Mark III reactor, the PSBR laboratory complex contains the Cobalt-6O (Co-6O) irradiation facility, neutron beain laboratory, two hot cells, radiochemistry laboratories; supporting radiation sources, radiation detectors, and counting equipment.
_The TRIGA,reactor is a light-water cooled and reflected pool type reactor capable of both pulsing and steady state operations. The reactor is operated in a water filled pool, with the *centerline of the reactor located about 20 feet beneath the surface of the water. The reactor can be rotated, moved north-south, and moved east-west within the reactor pool for flexibility of operation.
The reactor core has a basic shape of a right hexagonal prism containing approximately six fuel elements per side. The fuel/moderator elements are made up of a fuel region approximately 1.47 inches in diameter and 15 inches long, consisting of a zirconium hydride moderator homogeneously combined with 20 percent enriched uranium fuel.
The reactor is capable of 1000 kW (thermal) operation with natural convection cooling and can be puls~d repetitively and reproducibly at approximately 15 minute intervals to yield a burst having a prompt energy release ofup to 24 MW-seconds and a peak power of 2000 MW. Further details regarding the facility are described ip. the Safety Analysis Report.
The neutron beam laboratory (NBL) has access to ports or openings in the reactor pool wall for beam experiments. Five beam ports, including a cold neutron source, are used to provide collimated neutron beams to the NBL for a variety of experiments. Typical uses of the neutron beams include neutron scattering experiments, attenuation studies, neutron imaging facility and student spectrometer.
The Co-6O irradiation facility is currently licensed by the State for up to 25,000 curies of 60 co in rod form submerged in a 16,000 gallon pool of water. Radioactive 60Co has a 5.2 year half-life and emits two gamma rays with energies of 1.17 MeV and 1.33 MeV. For this reason, the total curie source available in 60 co rod form in this pool varies from year to year due to the 60 co half-life, and the replacement or addition of the present 60Co with new 60 Co rods. In addition to the pool irradiation tubes, the facility houses a self-contained dry cell lead-shielded irradiator. The irradiator is about four feet in diameter and five feet in 'height. This irradiator has an automatic timer to move the sample chamber away from the source and the ability to more easily conduct in-situ testing of components during irradiation.
Two identical, w~ll-equipped hot cells at the PSBR are available for the safe handling of radioactive materials. Each hot cell is a concrete structure, with dimensions of 7 .5 ft. x 5 ft. x 13 ft. high, and each is capable of handling 100 curies of 1 MeV gamma emitters.
Direct viewing of experiments through lead glass windows, two remote manipulators in each cell,'air cleaning equipment, utilities, and special control of waste are additional features of the cells.
Revision 5 Page 4 of23 3/18/21'
The PSBR facility is equipped for maintenance support, radiation handling, and radiation monitoring. A machine shop and electronic shop are provided for maintenance support. Radiation monitoring and detection equipment is accessible-throughout the facility. Ventilation hoods are located in labs which require radiation handling.
2.0 DEFINITION 2.1 Reactor Site Boundary The reactor site boundary is that boundary defined by the fence surrounding the PSBR as
-shown in Figure 1-2. The Director bas direct authority over all activities within this boundary. Entrance to the boundary is through the vehicle or pedestrian entry gate, which dan be locked or used as a control point into the ~a as deemed necessary.
2.2 University Site Boundary The-area defined by University Park is the University site boundary of the Pennsylvania State University. -University Park is located within Centre County and encompasses parts of six different municipalities. The reactor is located within the central campus area of the University. According to the Judicial Code Amendments of 1996, University Police have jurisdiction on and adjacent to all University property.
2.3 Reactor Bay The reactor bay is the structure enclosing the reactor pool, control room, and the region over the hot cells adjacent to the reactor pool.
2.4 Operations Boundary The operations boundary is the entire reactor building which incorporates the reactor bay, Co-60 facility, hot cells, NBL, and all rooms and laboratories housed therein.
2.5 The Emergency Support Center {ESC)
The Emergency Support Center (ESC) is a located within the Academic Projects Building (APB) (see Figure 1-2). The Emergency Director can use this room as the operations center during an emergency and as the assembly area for reactor personnel during this time. It a'tso contains additional emerge'ocy supplies and equipment for use during an emergency.
Revision 5 Page 5 of23 3/18/2021
2.6 State College State College is the local community adjacent to University Park. The community_has its own police force, volunteer fire department, and hospital. The hospital and fire department provide services for a large area surrounding State College, including University Park. The police force provides services to University Park when requested.

3 .1.12 Emergency Coordinator The Director of the PSBR shall designate an Emergency Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator is responsible for reviewing and updating the emergency plan and its implementing procedures. The Emergency Coordinator is also responsible for conducting emergency training, tests, and drills. .
3.1.13 University News and Media Relations The University News and Media Relations office prepares news and information releases concerning emergency conditions or situations of public interest at the PSBR.
3.2 Notification All emergency communications and notifications are initiated by personnel on duty, activated alarms, or University Police during required patrolling of the area. The postulated credible accidents associated with the operation of the PSBR will not result in a radiological hazard affecting the public health and safety. These emergency events will not require the direct involvement of State and Federal agencies; they will require notification of appropriate on-site and off-site organizations.
Notification of an incident to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) shall be in accordance with the requirements of the reactor license (R-2) and applicable sections of Chapter 10 of the Code ofFed-eral Regulations .. PEMA shall also be notified for both emergency classes defined in Sections 4.1 and 4.2. Special forms in the emergency procedures identify the telephone numbers of appropriate offices to contact in the event of an emergency. An emergency notification checklist is available to the Emergency Director to ensure all appropriate organizations are notified.
3.3 Termination of an Emergency The Emergency Director is responsible for the termination of an emergency. Prior to termination of an emergency the Emergency Director shall:
3.3.1 Determine that there exists no foreseeable.subsequent events that could cause damage to the reactor or render its operation unsafe.
3.3.2 Verify that all areas to be reopened to facility'personnel or the general public meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20 for occupancy.
'1 3.3.3 Confirm that areas restricted to entry or requiring controlled access are clearly posted.
Revision 5 Page 10 of23 3/18/2021
3.4 Reentry Authorization and methods for reentry are provided by the PSBR Emergency Procedures.
3.5 Authorization of Radiation Exposures in Excess of 10 CFR 20 Limits The Emergency Director may authorize exposures to emergency team mertjbers and radiation workers in excess of normal occupational limits. The exposure limits are for
,corrective actions that mitigate the consequences or reduce'the severity of the emergency event. Exposures, above the limits for a restricted area given in 10 ,CFR 20 are to be on a voluntary basis without penalty for refusal aFJ.d restricted to thqse persons with sufficient knowledge and experience of reactor operations *and biological effects of radiation to understand the risks involved.
4.0 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS The severity of an accident determines the class of the emergency into which it falls and the subsequent actions to be taken. The PSBR is situated on high ground where natural water levels cannot affect the operability of any reactor safety systems. In addition, University Park is located in an area where earthquakes of sufficient intensity to cause observable damage to the *reactor safety equipment are highly improbable. 1 A review of the possible emergency events that can*occur shows that they can be classified in two emergency classes:
4.1 Unusual Event An Unusual Event may be initiated by either man-made events or natural phenomena that can be recognized as creating a significant hazard potential that was previou~ly nonexistent. There will be time available to take precautionary and corrective steps to prevent the escalation of the accident or to mitigate the consequences should it occur. No release of radioactive material requiring off-site responses (outside of the-reactor site boundary) is expected.
Although the situation may not have caused damage to the reactor, it may warrant an immediate sh1:1tdown of the reactor or an interruption of non-essential routine functions.
The accidents or events, which fall into this classification, .are as follows:
4.1.1 Actual or projected radiological effluents at the site boundary which are calculated or measured to result. in either of the following conditions, both of which are based on an exposure of 24 h~urs or les.s:
4.1.1.1 A deep dose equivalent of 15 mrems, or 4.1.1.2 A committed effective dose equivalent of 15 mrems based on the following considerations:
- 100 EC* x~24 hours= 2,400 EC-hours= i5 mrems (for radionuclides other than noble gases)
- Revision 5 Page 11 of23 3/18/2021
50 EC* x 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />s= 1,200 EC-hours= 15 mrems (for noble gases)
- EC is the effluent concentration listed in 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2.
4.1.2 Report or observation of a severe natural phenomenon affecting the reactor site.
4.1.3 Threats to or breaches of security as follows:
4.1.3.1 Bomb threat 4.1.3 .2 Threat of theft of special nuclear material 4.1-.3.3 Theft of special nuclear material 4.1.3.4 Non-accidental unauthorized intrusion 4.1.3 .5 Civil disorder 4.1.4 Fuel damage accident that could release radionuclides from the fuel elements to the reactor bay (confinement).
4.1.5 Fire within certain areas of the facility lasting more than 15 minutes.
4.2 Alert
'1 Alerts are events of such radiological significance as to require notification of the emergency organization and responses appropriate for the specific emergency situation. Under this class, it is' unlikely that emergency response efforts, such as radiation monitoring, will need to be condu~ted beyond the reactor site boundary.
Substantial modification of reactor operating status is a highly probable corrective action.
Precautionary evacuations or isolation of certain areas within the operations boundary or within the reactor site boundary may be necessary. Situations, which lead to this class, are as follows:

5.0 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS The emergency preparedness plan shall be activated if the event is determined to be either an Unusual Event or an Alert. The following guidelines will be used to determin_e whether an event is to be considered an emergency and the emergency class to which it should be assigned Depending on the nature of the situation, an Unusual Event may escalate into an Alert.
- 5.1 Unusual Event The following emergency action levels are defined as an Unusual Event. These action levels correspond to the definitions in section 4.1.
5.1.1 Release of particulate beta emitting radionuclides is to be considered an Unusual Event, if the actual or projected radiological effluents at the site boundary are calculated or measured to result in the conditions listed in 4.1.1. Table 5-1 2 shows the activity for' a release of several beta emitters that would each resul,t in an airborne activity concentration 100 times the effluent concentration limit. Table 5-1 also shows the approximate time for the continuous air monitor in the reactor bay to alarm after the 84lrt of a continuous 24-hour release of that activity. Such a release would Revision 5 Page 13 of23 3/18/2021
produce an off-scale (high) reading on the air monitor in the reactor bay before the end of the 24-hour release period..
Releases of much_ less activity than that required to result in an airborne concentration 100 times the effluent concentration limit at the reactor site bou~d~ would also caus~ an air rrionito_r a~arm. <An alarm of an a~- .
tnomtor m the reactor bay IS assumed to mdicate an Unusual Event If It appears that the count rate will go off-scale (high) within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after the alar:m.

Time from start of release to an air monitor 22 min. 3.7 min. 0.11 min. 0.44 min.
. count rate level that activates the alarm 5 .1.2 Actual or projected deep dose equivalent at the reactor site boundary of 15 mrem over a 24-hour period. This could result from direct radiation from within the PSBR building or airborne beta-gamma emitters. The continuous air monitors as noted in 5.1.1 would detect airborne particulate materials. For example, noble gases producing a submersion exposure of 15 mrem in 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> (0.63 mrem/hr) would correspond to a reactor bay dose equivalent rate of 85 mrem/hr. 3 This level would be readily apparent in the reactor bay and would be sufficient to activate the Alert status of the bridge radiation monitors.
5.1.3 Report or observation a severe natural phenomenon affecting the reactor site.
5 .1.4 Threat to or breach of security that could affect reactor systems, such as a bomb threat, threat of theft of special nuclear*material, theft of special Revision 5 Page 14,of23 3/18/2021
nuclear material, threat of violence, vandalism, or non-accidental unauthorized intrusion.
5.1.5 An accident that results in fuel damage suclf that radionuclides could be released from the fuel. Such damage would be indicated by visual inspection or by high radiation and/or high airborne activity levels in the reactor bay as shown by the bridge radiation monitors or the continuous air monitors, see 5 .1.1 and 5 .1.2.
5.1.6 A fire within critical areas of the operations boundary lasting more t4an 15 minutes. Critical areas are the reactor bay, NBL, pump room, hot cells, and the Co-60 facility. Fire in an office or other laboratory area is not an Unusual Event, if it is confined to those areas.
5.2 Alert The following emergency action levels are defined as an Alert. These action levels correspond to the definitions in section 4.2.
5.2.1 Release of particulate beta emitting radionuclides is to be considered an Alert, if th~ actual or projected radiological effluents at the site boundary are calculated or measured to result in the conditions listed in 4.2.1. Table 5-2 shows the activity for a release of several beta emitters that would each result in an airborne activity concentration 500 times the eflluent concentration limit. Table 5-2 also shows the approximate time for the continuous air monitors in the reactor bay to alarm after the start of a continuous 24--hour releas*e of that activity. Such a release would produce an off-scale (high) reading on the air monitor in the reactor bay before the end of the 24-hour release period.
Releases of much less activity than that required in an airborne concentration 500 times the eflluent concentration limit at the reactor site boundary would also cause an air monitor alarm. An alarm of the air monitor in the reactor bay is assumed to indicate an Alert if it appears that the count rate will go off-scale (high) within 5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after the alarm.

This could result from direct radiation from within the reactor facility or airborne beta-gamma emitters. The continuous air monitors as noted in 5.2.1 would detect airborne particulate material. For example, noble gases producing a submersion exposure of 75 mrem in 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> would be at a concentration 5 times higher than that in 5 .1.2 and the corresponding reactor bay dose equivalent-rate would be approximately 430 mrem/hr. This level would activate alarms for the bridge radiation monitors. Direct radiation can be detectable with portable survey instruments.
5.2.3 Events that produce actual or projected deep dose equivalent at th'.e reactor site boundary of 20 mrems. This would be detectable with portable survey instruments.
5.2.4 An event that results in airborne radioiodine levels such that the committed dose equivalent to the thyroid is 100 mrem at the reactor site boundary. The reactor bay radiation monitoring equipment would detect this. The release of 134 Ci of 131 I into the reactor bay would produce a thyroid committed dose equivalent of approximately 100 mrem at the reactor site boundary.
5.2.5 Loss of adequate shielding pool water at a rate that exceeds the combined makeup water capacity of all available refill systems, (maximum *of Revision 5 Page 16 of23 3/18/2021
approximately 475 gpm, if all systems are available). A pool water level drop of I cm per minute is equivalent to I 00 gpm.
5.2.6 A fire that threatens any of the reactor safety systems, including the reactor support systems in the reactor bay, pump room, NBL, hot cells, or Co-60 facility.
5.2.7 The impaction of missiles or aircraft within the operations,boundary,

5.2.8 An expl_osion that could impact the operation of the reactor.
5.2.9 A release of toxic or flammable gas into the.operations boundary in such quantities that pose an immediate hazard to the reactor safety systems.
5.2.W Imminent *1oss of physical control of the reactor.
5.2.11 Tornado or hurricane force winds that are damaging the reactor building.
6.0 E:MERGENCY PLANNING ZONE The emergency planning zone (EPZ) for the PSBR is the same as the operations boundary. This EPZ is consistent with the recommendation for the emergency planning zone given in ANSVANS 15.16-2015 "Emergency Planning for Research Reactors" for research reactors with an authorized power level of 2 MW or less. This is adequate to ensure that the dose to individuals beyond the EPZ will not exceed limitations of the Protective Action G~ides (P AG). The PAG limits are 1 rem whole body or 5 rem thyroid.
7.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE 7.1 Notification When the event has been evaluated and detennined to require activating the Emergency Plan, the Emergency Organization shall be notified by telephone and/or two-way radio communication using notification forms designed for this purpose. Copies of the
- notification forms are stored in the Em~rgency Support Center. These forms are_used during the emergency to ensure applicable organizations are notified about the emergency. These organizations have communication centers and other means for 24
. hour notification. University organizations include; University Police; Environmental Health and Safety, Radiation Protection Office, The Office of University News and Media Relations. ,The NRC Operations Center and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) are to be notified upon activation of the Emergency Plan.
The Pennsylvania D_epartment of Environmental Protection Bureau of Radiation Protection office is notified of events of Public Interest and other facility related events.
Other organizations to be notified depending upon emergency response needs include:
University Health Services, Centre LifeLink EMS, the Alpha Fire Company of State Revision 5 Page 1,7 of23 3/18/2021
College, the State College Police Department, the Mount Nittany Medical Center, the Pennsylvania State Police, and the FBI.
- 7.2 Assessment Sections 5 .1 and 5 .2 provide readings of the continuous air monitors and area monitors in the reactor bay that determilie releases that would be,classified as _an Unusual Event or Alert. These instruments are tested and calibrated for proper operation as required by PSBR Technical Specifications.
If the radiation detection instruments are inoperable or off-scale, portable survey instruments would be used to obtain radiation readings. Additional equipment and assay facilities are available in the Radiation Protection Office. For emergencies involving the release-of radioactive material from the PSBR, a survey of the reactor site boundary documenting radiation levels and air samples would be made as soon as possible. Air samples from the operations area or reactor site boundary would be assayed in the Radiation Protection Office laboratory or the radiation counting laboratory located in the Academic Projects Building to determine airborne activity. The criteria from Section 5 would then be used to evaluate and predict level of exposures and/or release of radioactive material from the PSBR. All survey and dosimeter records will be delivered to the Radiation Protection Office.
Reactor and Radiation Protection personnel are normally supplied with personnel dosimeters, which require a considerable amount of time for_processing amounts of exposure received. Self-reading ,dosimeters are available for special monitoring and emergencies where extra dosimeters or immediate readout is needed.
Assessment of events such as-civil disorder, bomb threats, fire, pool water level, tornado or'hurricane force winds, etc., will be made on the basis of direct observation and/or verbal reports.
7 .3 Corrective Actions The release of radioactive material from the PSBR in an amount sufficient to be classified as an emergency would-produce an alarm of a continuous air and/or reactor bridge monitor. This would shutdown the reactor, sound the building evacuation alarm, and start the emergency ventilation system. The PSBR Emergency Procedures sha,11 then be followed.
In the event of aradiation release that may have contaminated personnel with radioactive material, the personnel will be isolated and surveyed for contamiriation_and decontaminated as necessary by Radiation Protection and/or reactor staff personnel.
Revision 5 Page 18 of23 3/18/2021
In the event of a pool water leak, civil disorder, bomb threat, or report of a possible hurricane or tornado, the Emergency Director shall determine .whether the reactor should be shutdown and/or secured. The PSBR Emergency-Procedures shall be follow~d.
The facility fire detection system communicates directly with the University Police communications center. In the event of the activation of the fire alarm system or if any fires are detected, the PSBR Emergency Procedures for fires will be followed.
7.4 Protective Actions Upon evacuation from the reactor building following an evacuation alarm ~r announcement over the page system, personnel shall follow the PSBR Emergency Procedures. The Emergency Procedures provide for personnel accountability and assessment of the situation including isolating potentially contaminated personnel or areas of the facility.
The guidelines for personnel exposure during an emergency are listed in Table 7-1.
Exposures above the limits for a restricted area given in 10 CFR 20 are .to be- on a voluntary basis without penalty for refusal and restricted to those persons with sufficient knowledge and experience of reactor operations and biological effects of radiation to understand the risks involved.

8.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT 8.1 Emergency Support Center The Emergency Support Center (ESC), used during an emergency evacuation, is equipped with a phone tied to the regular PSBR phone line and is the storage location for emergency radiation monitoring equipment and protective clothing. Laboratory equipment and, staff offices under'the Radiation Protection office are located on the second floor of the Academic Projects Building (APB). The radiation counting la9oratory underrthe direction of the PSBR Director is located on the first floor of the c' APB. The ESC is in close proximity to both the reactor facility and laboratories equipped to analyze samples taken during an emergency evacuation. In the ~vent that the ESC i~
not accessible there is an alternate location for an Emergency Support Center with the University Police.
8.2 Monitoring and Sampling Equipment 8.2:1 Fixed Monitoring Equipment r
The reactor bay contains at least one particulate continuous air monitor and at least one area radiation monitor that must be operating whenever the reactor is operating. There is also an area radiation monitor in the neutron beam laboratory which is required to be operating when using the beam port. Remote readouts from these monitors and reactor instrumentation are available in the RSEC facility and the ESC.
8.2.2 Portable Monitoring Equipment Portable radiation monitors and portable air sampling equipment are available at the ESC and the Radiation Protection Office.
8.2.3 Laboratory Assay Equipment Equipment for analyzing smear samples and air samples is available in close proximity to the reactor site boundary in the Academic Projects Building.
8.3 Decontamination and Medical Treatment of Personnel Radi_ation Protection staff will decontamin~ personnel with relatiyely minor skin contamination at the work location or at the Radiation Protection Office. Severe or life-threatening radioactive contamination of personnel is *ot expected in any postulated accident at the RSEC. Decontamination would be coordinated with the Radiation Safety Office according to procedure EP-6: Medical Emergencies. In most cases, decontamination would be performed using soap and water. Personnel with injuries Revision 5 Page 20 of23 3/18/2021
and/or serious contamiriati~n will be handled according to PSBR Emergency Procedures. University Health Services is equipped to handle minor medical emergencies. For major medical emergencies, the Mount Nittany Medical Center has agreed to accept patients from radiation accidents at the University.
8.4 Emergency Communications The University telephone system and a public address system in the reactor building are available for communications. The rea~tor building has a telephone system with multiple telephones readily available at locations throughout the. facility.
One phone in the University telephone system is located in the ESC. There is an
- additional unlisted telephone located in the ESC. Other telephone lines are available in offices located nearby in the Academic Projects Building.
Two-way hand held radios provide communication between the Emergency Director and response personnel during an event. The public address system in the PSBR provides coverage to all areas within the operations boundary. The PSBR evacuation signal is audible at all locations inside the reactor building. The evacuation signal is channel tested and channel checked according to PSBR technical specifications.
8.5 Inventory The material available for-emergency response includes all the resources of the PSBR facility, with additional resources at the ESC, and the Environmental Health and Safety/Radiation Protection Office. Some equipment that is normally stored inside the PSBR facility may not be immediately available for an emergency which requires evacuation of the building. Therefore, a minimum inventory of equipment is kept at the ESC, if the PSBR facility becomes inaccessible. This equipment is inspected, checked for operability, and inventoried according to PSBR procedures. The calibration of reactor and Radiation Protection office radiation survey instrumentation is conducted in accordance with-procedures. These items are available for normal day-to-day use to help ensure that. they are in operating condition when needed, but are to be stored at the ESC.
The inventory is described in the PSBR Procedures. *
- 9.0 RECOVERY OPERATION Restoring the PSBR to a safe operating condition after an emergency shall be the responsibility of the Emergency Director. Operations necessary to restore the PSBR will be under his/her direction and recovery procedures will be written and approved as necessary.
After corrective action has been taken, the emergency may be terminated. Prior to termination of an emergency the Emergency Director shall:
9.0.1 Determine there are no foreseeable subsequent events that could cause damage to the reactor or render its operation unsaf~.
Rovision 5 Page 21 of23 3/18/2021
l 9.0.2 Verify that all areas to be reopened to personnel or the general public meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20 for occupancy.
9.0.3 Confirm that areas restricted to entry or requiring controlled access are clearly posted. -
The Radiation Protection staff will survey and ascertain that contamination and radiation levels within the affected areas are safe., The Emergency Director, with the support of the reactor staff and Radiation Protection personnel, will assess resultant damages, direct repairs, decontamination, and review the emergency.
10.0 MAINTAINING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS The Emergency Plan shall be maintained in a state of preparedness by the following actions:
10.1 Training and Emergency Plan Review The reactor operator and senior reactor operator requalification program keeps the operating staff cognmmt offeatures of facility design, safety and emergency systems, emergency and standard operating procedures, radiation control and safety concepts, and other facility information needed to respond to an emergency situation. Competency of the reactor staff to respond appropriately to an Emergency will be maintained by having an annual review of the Emergency Plan and/or implementing procedures with the reactor staff. The review will study where improvements can be made in the plan and/or implementing procedures. The Emergency Plan will then be revised accordingly and the revised pages properly dated and forwarded to the appropriate organizations. PSBR Emergency Procedures are reviewed "at a frequency according to the PSBR Procedµres.
University Police officers undergo an annual training program. This program includes a review of the role and response df University Police in event of an emergency.
10.2 Emergency Drills An on-site emergency drill shall be conducted annually that requires the use of appropriate emergency equipment. The drill will be conducted as an action drill with required emergency measures executed as realistically as practicable and involving respons'e from Radiation Protection personnel and University Police if available ..
An emergency drill shall take place biennially that tests communication links and notification procedures with' off-site organizations. It will activate response from the Radiation Protection personnel, University Police, and University News and Revision 5 Page' 22 of23 3/18/2021
Media Relations. In~addition, the drill may also include participation by one or more off-site organizations such as University Health Services, Mount Nittany Medical Center, or the Alpha Fire Company of State College.
Following the annual or biennial emergency drill, the Emergency Coordinator will meet with the operations staff and Radiation Protection personnel to critique performance during the drill. University Police, University Health Services and others that participated in the drill will be invited to the critique session and/or to provide comments. This critique will be documented in a timely manner.
I 0.3 Operational Readiness Surveillance of emergency- supplies and equipment ensures availability and proper conditiori for immediate use. The PSBR reactor staff and Radiation Protection staff are-responsible for surveillance of their respective emergency supplies and equipment Emergericy supplies at the ESC are verified to be operational'and complete on a periodic basis according to PSBR procedures. Fire extinguishers located throughout the facility are maintained by University Physical Plant personnel and are inspected and maintained according to their program.
Radiation alarms and pool level alarm signals are sent to the University Communications Center, and the telephone at the ESC is verified to be operational as specified in the PSBR procedures. Portable radiation detectors, including direct reading pocket dosimeters for emergency use, shall also be maintained as described in the PSBR procedures.
