4 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM 4.1 Basis for Emergency Classifications The emergency plan provides for classification of emergencies into three standardized classes according to the severity of off-site radiological consequences: 1) Notification of Unusual Event,
- 2) Alert, and 3) Site Area Emergency, consistent with Table 1 of ANSI/ANS-15.16-2015. There are no credible accidents identified for the SHINE facility that would result in radiological levels exceeding the action levels for General Emergencies specified in Table 1 of ANSI/ANS-15.16-2015 at the site boundary. Therefore, the emergency plan does not include provisions for the General Emergency classification of event.
4.2 Emergencies Less Severe Than Notification of Unusual Events SHINE recognizes emergencies of lesser consequences than the Notification of Unusual Event classification. These include physical occurrences within the facility requiring facility emergency organization response. The initial assessment of these events should indicate that it is unlikely that an off-site hazard will be created. Protective evacuations or isolations of certain areas within the facility may be necessary. Responses to these emergencies of lesser consequence than a Notification of Unusual Event are based on the recognition of immediate need for on-site staff to implement emergency measures to provide aid to affected persons or to mitigate the consequences of damage to equipment; coupled with assessing radiological monitors to determine if the possibility of a more serious emergency is present.
Situations of lesser consequence than Notification of Unusual Events that may warrant implementation of portions of this emergency plan or select EPIPs include:
- 1) Severe injuries to personnel;
- 2) Fires in the incipient stage or industrial safety hazards;
- 3) Transportation accidents less than one mile from the facility involving radioactive or licensed material; Emergency Plan Page 17 of 74
EMG-01-01 Rev. 1 Emergency Plan
- 4) Spills or releases of non-radioactive hazardous materials not associated with processing of licensed materials; or
- 5) Other situations that warrant precautionary activation of the ERO, at the discretion of the Emergency Director.
4.3 Notification of Unusual Event A Notification of Unusual Event includes man-made events and natural phenomena creating a significant hazard potential that was previously non-existent. There is usually time available to take precautionary and corrective steps to prevent the escalation of the accident or to mitigate the consequences should it occur. No releases of radioactive or hazardous materials requiring off-site responses are expected.
Elements of the ERO will be activated or notified to increase the state of readiness as warranted by the circumstances.
Although the situation may not have caused damage to the facility, it may warrant preventive or mitigative actions or interruption of nonessential routine functions. Protective evacuations or isolation of certain areas of the facility may be necessary.
4.4 Alert An Alert means events may occur, are in progress, or have occurred, that could lead to a release of radioactive material or hazardous chemicals incident to the processing of licensed materials; however, the release is not expected to require a response by an off-site response organization to protect persons off-site. Substantial modification of facility operating status is a highly probable corrective action. Protective evacuations or isolation of certain areas within the operations boundary or within the site boundary may be necessary.
4.5 Site Area Emergency A Site Area Emergency means events may occur, are in progress, or have occurred that could lead to a significant release of radioactive material or hazardous chemicals incident to the processing of license material and that could require a response by off-site emergency response organizations to protect persons off-site.
A Site Area Emergency may be initiated when events such as major damage of primary boundaries containing radioactive or hazardous materials incident to the process of licensed material have occurred and actual or imminent failure of other physical barriers preventing releases have occurred and projected off-site radiological consequences exceed the action levels.
Monitoring at the site boundary should be conducted to assess the need for off-site protective actions. Protective measures on site may be necessary.
5 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS Emergency action levels (EALs) for the events described in the above emergency classes are found in Appendix 4.
These EALs have been established in terms of effluent monitors and other facility parameters from which the dose rates and radiological effluent releases at the site boundary can be projected.
Some EALs listed in Appendix 4 include estimated radiological doses to the public that may result from the event. Dose estimates are listed in terms total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) to the whole body in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, TEDE to the whole body in 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, and total dose equivalent (TDE) to the thyroid in 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> at site boundary. TDE is the sum of committed dose equivalent (CDE) and Emergency Plan Page 18 of 74
EMG-01-01 Rev. 1 Emergency Plan dose equivalent (DE) from external exposures to an organ. Estimated doses found in Appendix 4 are based on average meteorological conditions (i.e., 50th percentile atmospheric dispersion factors).
EALs are used as criteria for determining the need for notification and participation of local agencies and the Commission. This emergency plan includes EALs that are used for determining when and what type of protective actions for the facility staff on-site to protect health and safety.
The protective action guidelines are one rem whole body or five rem thyroid.
The SHINE safety analysis does not identify any events that could lead to a release of hazardous chemicals incident to the processing of license material that would require activation of the SHINE emergency response organization to protect persons on-site, or that would require a response by an off-site response organization to protect persons off-site. For this reason, there are no EALs related to releases of hazardous chemicals incident to the processing of license material.
6 EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONES There are no identified radiological emergencies at the SHINE facility that result in off-site plume exposure exceeding one rem whole body or five rem thyroid. Therefore, SHINE has identified an Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) in accordance with the alternate method described in NUREG-0849 and ANSI/ANS-15.16-2015. The combined licensed power for all eight IU cells is less than 2 MW. Accordingly, the EPZ for the SHINE facility is the operations boundary.

Non-essential personnel shall be evacuated off-site unless doing so would adversely affect personnel leaving the site (e.g., severe weather or security threats).
8.6 Evacuation, Assembly and Accountability 8.6.1 Evacuation Various classes of emergency events may require evacuation of personnel. Evacuation is the primary protective action anticipated for on-site personnel. When an evacuation is initiated, all personnel within the immediate evacuation zone shall evacuate without hesitation by planned evacuation routes to established assembly stations.
All areas within the operations boundary have established immediate evacuation zones and evacuation routes. Sufficient exits from the immediate evacuation zones exist to enable rapid and unobstructed evacuation of personnel. Immediate evacuation for personnel protection shall take precedence over contamination control or security considerations. Evacuation routes are planned to minimize the total risk considering all potential hazards, including chemical, industrial, and radiation.
The public address system, and/or audible alarms and flashing lights are used to initiate area or facility evacuations. In the event of an evacuation, visitors are the responsibility of the facility employee being visited. A register of visitors is kept by Security and is available to the Emergency Director.
Evacuation is followed by Assembly and Accountability (see Section 8.6.2 and 8.6.3).
Radiation levels shall be monitored in occupied areas adjacent to the immediate evacuation zone and periodically at the assembly station after initiation of the emergency response. Collected information shall be provided to the Radiation Safety Coordinator. If this monitoring indicates that the dose rate exceeds 100 mrem/hour in areas that continue to be occupied, non-essential personnel shall be evacuated from those areas.
Emergency Plan Page 25 of 74
EMG-01-01 Rev. 1 Emergency Plan Evacuation zones, planned evacuation routes, and other detailed information are provided in the EPIP addressing Evacuation, Assembly, and Accountability.
8.6.2 Assembly Assembly stations are those areas to where personnel shall report if an evacuation of any area of the facility has been called, or if a Site Area Emergency has been declared.
Personnel are trained to report to their primary assembly area, and to listen for instructions provided by the ERO. If it is determined that the primary assembly area(s) is unfit for personnel, the Emergency Director may designate alternate assembly area(s) and direct personnel using appropriate communication systems. Assembly stations are clearly identified in the EPIP addressing Evacuation, Assembly, and Accountability and posted in the area.
Assembly stations consist of:
Control room - primary assembly area for on-duty control room and Operations personnel Main production facility breakroom (primary ESC) - primary assembly area for ERO and non-essential personnel Main production facility conference room - alternate on-site assembly area for non-essential personnel Storage building office area (backup ESC) - alternate on-site assembly area SHINE Headquarters breakroom - contingency alternate off-site assembly area Security personnel shall individually report their location(s) to the ERO, and then perform their Accountability duties as described in the EPIP addressing Evacuation, Assembly, and Accountability.
Personnel evacuating the facility will be monitored for contamination by the portal monitors as they exit the radiologically controlled area (RCA), or with portable friskers at assembly areas. Potentially contaminated personnel arriving at assembly areas will be segregated from non-contaminated individuals until they have been monitored. Additional decontamination information is described in Section 9.5.
SHINE has the capability of quickly identifying individuals who have received doses of 10 rads or more due to a criticality accident via reading of electronic dosimeters worn by personnel in the RCA.
The Radiation Safety Coordinator is responsible for identifying exposed personnel and determining their radiation dose, in order to ensure appropriate medical assistance is provided.
8.6.3 Accountability The purpose of Accountability is to determine the locations of all personnel at the site and to muster emergency personnel at prearranged locations in the event of a Site Area Emergency. Accountability is also performed after Evacuation and Assembly, to ensure personnel are no longer located within evacuation zone(s). When Accountability of on-site personnel is determined to be necessary by the Emergency Director, all personnel on-site shall be accounted for and the names of missing individuals (if any) are determined and Emergency Plan Page 26 of 74
EMG-01-01 Rev. 1 Emergency Plan reported to the Emergency Director. Accountability is performed in accordance with the EPIP addressing Evacuation, Assembly, and Accountability.
As part of Assembly and Accountability, the Emergency Director may also direct isolation and access control of facility areas to minimize exposures to radiation and the spread of radioactive contamination.
8.7 Assessment Action Information This section contains additional details on the Assessment Actions described in Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5.
8.7.1 Projections of Off-site Impacts Facility emergency organization personnel make projections of off-site radiation dose based on field monitoring data or installed facility instrumentation, coupled with the results of previously performed calculations. For all credible accidents, the worst-case projected accident consequences for off-site individuals are below 1 rem for radiological releases and below protective action guidelines for hazardous chemicals incident to the processing of licensed materials. Therefore, dose projections using real-time meteorological information or specifically-designed computer codes are not required for the SHINE facility.
Instructions for completing off-site exposure estimates are found in the EPIP addressing Emergency Radiation Exposure Control.
Off-site dose projections will be made available to off-site emergency support organizations and NRC personnel following initial determination and following any significant changes to the predictions as described in Section 7.3.
8.7.2 Source Terms Estimated radiological and chemical source term data are available in the EPIP addressing Emergency Radiation Exposure Control for use by the ERO.
Information from facility instrumentation readings, operations logs, and technical staff may be used to augment or update the source term data. If requested, source term information related to the emergency will be made available to appropriate off-site emergency response organizations and the NRC through the established communication lines.
8.7.3 On-site and Off-site Surveying As part of the assessment process, Assessment Teams may be dispatched to collect samples, perform area radiation readings, and observe conditions throughout the facility and around the site boundary, in order to gather information about radiation dose rates and contamination levels. Assessment Teams report information to the Emergency Director or designee using hand-held radios, mobile phones, or directly by returning to the control room or ESC.
Radiation doses are measured by portable Geiger counters and handheld survey equipment.
Contamination levels are measured by portable air samplers via collecting samples for subsequent analysis in the on-site laboratory.
Hazardous chemicals incident to the processing of licensed materials, i.e., uranium particulate, are measured by portable alpha-emitter detection equipment. Other Emergency Plan Page 27 of 74
EMG-01-01 Rev. 1 Emergency Plan hazardous chemicals are detected by Geiger counters or air samplers due to their expected coincident with gamma radiation.
Instrumentation and equipment used for assessment is described in more detail in Section 9.4.
Monitoring outside the facility and at the site boundary shall be implemented within two hours of declaring a Site Area Emergency involving a potential or actual release.
Monitoring should be continued periodically as necessary to monitor the progress of the event. Monitoring outside the facility may be implemented at the discretion of the Emergency Director for less severe emergency classifications.
Monitoring inside the facility is normally accomplished by installed equipment. Assessment teams may be dispatched to augment data obtained from installed equipment at the discretion of the ERO.
Although postulated accidents at the SHINE facility do not require off-site monitoring or protective actions, the capability for off-site monitoring using Assessment Teams and equipment is available, if required.
Field monitoring and assessments are performed in accordance with the EPIPs addressing Emergency Radiation Exposure Control and Damage Assessments.
8.8 Criticality Event Responses 8.8.1 Notification The criticality safety engineer reports to the facility as part of the activation of the ERO for Alerts involving the discovery of a critical-mass quantity of special nuclear material in an unsafe geometry container or other condition that creates a criticality hazard; for Site Area Emergencies involving imminent or actual occurrences of an uncontrolled criticality; or whenever his or her assistance is deemed necessary at the discretion of the Emergency Director.
8.8.2 Reentry All activities associated with reentry and rescue shall be coordinated and authorized by the Emergency Director.
Reentry shall be planned to minimize risks to personnel. The possibility of a continuing or recurring criticality accident shall be considered. Reentry during the emergency shall only be made by personnel trained in emergency response and reentry.
Reentry should be made only if a preliminary radiological survey indicates that the radiation levels are acceptable for reentry. Existing instrumentation or temporary sensors with remote readout may be used. All reentries shall be made with continuous radiation monitoring. Both neutron and gamma instruments should be used Personnel who reenter the immediate evacuation zone during the emergency shall be informed of the potential hazards and shall choose to accept the associated risk. Reentry should be performed by more than one person, as part of a Reentry and Damage Control Team. If personnel need to be rescued, the rescue shall be planned so as not to expose rescuers to life threatening radiation doses. The requirements for voluntary emergency worker exposures described in Section 8.1.3 apply to all reentries during the emergency.
Emergency Plan Page 28 of 74
EMG-01-01 Rev. 1 Emergency Plan 8.8.3 Stabilization All activities associated with stabilization of a criticality event shall be coordinated and authorized by the Emergency Director. The Emergency Director may delegate authority to the criticality safety engineer, Technical Support Coordinator, or Radiation Safety Coordinator.
If the system remains critical and is possibly causing excessive damage or significant releases of radioactive material, an early reentry effort to disable the system may be permitted. The method for disabling the system shall be carefully planned and implemented to minimize risks to the Reentry and Damage Control Team.
The Criticality Safety Engineer shall determine if the system is subcritical and shall advise the ERO of methods to ensure stabilization of affected equipment and safe conditions for personnel. This might include placing the fissile material in a favorable geometry, diluting the fissile solution below a critical concentration, or using neutron absorbers to maintain subcriticality.
Neutron absorbers are available for use in shutting down or stabilizing a criticality event.
Neutron absorbers are stored in the storage building. Prior to being selected for use, the effect of the neutron absorbers under accident conditions shall be evaluated by the criticality safety engineer. Consideration shall be given to material compatibility and to cases under which addition of the neutron absorber can increase system neutron multiplication.
9 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Emergency facilities and equipment are available for emergency assessment, communications, first aid and medical care, and performing corrective and recovery actions.
