FERMI 2 SAFETY HANDBOOK Section 21: Hot and Cold Environments / Temperature Extremes 1
Revision 15 October 2022
- 1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of this section is to outline the hazards and precautions necessary to minimize and prevent adverse health effects when working in areas with temperature extremes. This includes both indoor and outdoor activities.
This procedure does not apply to Emergency Operations.
This procedure must be considered for all tasks using heavy or impermeable protective clothing (such as acid suits, Tyvec and plastics).
- 2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 2.1. All jobs in high temperature environments shall address heat stress controls in the planning stages. The work plan shall stipulate work time limits and use of body-cooling devices if necessary.
2.2. All activities performed in an environment that requires heat stress stay times less than or equal to 10 minutes is considered High Risk to Industrial Safety and shall have a risk plan developed per MWC15 2.3. To prevent heat illness and dehydration due to perspiration, individuals who work in high temperature environments should drink large quantities of water or electrolyte replacement fluid at their rest breaks.
2.4. The individuals who work in high temperature environments shall periodically rest in a cooler area.
2.5. Work group supervisors shall inform their workers of heat stress precautions before they work in hot environments 2.6. When a job requires extended time in high temperatures, an air-conditioned room ("cool room") should be located as close to the work area as feasible and used as a recovery area.
2.7. Work group supervisors shall contact Industrial Safety for guidance in controlling heat stress for jobs with 15 minutes or less stay times OR, when temperature is at or above 104°F WBGT.
2.8. Any individual who begins to feel symptoms of heat illness shall immediately notify the work group supervisor, exit the area, remove suit (if worn), rest in a cool area, and drink water or an electrolyte replacement fluid. If symptoms persist, request medical aid through the Control Room (ext. 6-1250 or 250).
- 3. RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1. Managers and Supervisors 3.1.1. Evaluate the work environment before allowing any employee to start work in a high temperature environment.
FERMI 2 SAFETY HANDBOOK Section 21: Hot and Cold Environments / Temperature Extremes 2
Revision 15 October 2022 3.1.2. Ensure employees have been trained in the hazards, symptoms, and means to mitigate heat stress.
3.1.3. Determine what work regimentation, precautions, and/or protective equipment will be used before starting work and that all employees are aware of them.
3.1.4. Contact Industrial Safety for assistance in evaluating high temperature work areas and determining precautions and/or restrictions to be imposed as needed.
3.1.5. When box in the column in table 21-2 is shaded for the work activity and temperature, Industrial Safety SHALL be contacted. The Hexan 2.0 Heat Stress calculator developed by EPRI will be used to determine the appropriate stay and recovery times.
3.2 Employees 3.2.1 Notify supervisor of any medical conditions (including medications, health conditions, recent illnesses, etc.) that could preclude working in a high temperature area.
3.2.2 Comply with all restrictions, precautions, and work regimen imposed for the task(s) being performed in a high temperature work area.
3.2.3 Know the symptoms of heat stress and mitigation methods.
2.2.4 Leave the work area immediately if the symptoms of heat stress are felt or if observed by other employees. Do not leave without telling someone you are leaving (should not be working alone) and both of you must leave.
3.2.5 Always work in teams of two or more employees if work is controlled by Tables 21-2, Stay Times.
For organizations such as Operations, Radiation Protection, Security, or Radwaste, while performing their usual work, the two-person requirement does not apply as long as the workers:
- a. Know the symptoms of heat stress and mitigation methods.
- b. Leave the work area immediately when showing signs of heat stress.
- c. Immediately notify their supervisor of heat stress.
3.2.6 Adhere to all work restrictions that may limit or prohibit exposure to high temperature work.
3.3 Nuclear Training 2.4.1 Ensure a program is developed to provide employee orientation on the symptoms of heat stress and methods to minimize/avoid heat stress.
NOTE:
If the workers come out of the work environment for ANY reason AND are working under a stay time, they SHALL NOT re-enter the work area until they have completed the cool off cycle. Rapid body temperature changes can cause blood pressure and heart rate to change which can lead to a worker losing consciousness.
FERMI 2 SAFETY HANDBOOK Section 21: Hot and Cold Environments / Temperature Extremes 3
Revision 15 October 2022 3.4 Industrial Safety 2.4.1 Provide assistance in the evaluation of work areas for heat stress potential and in the establishment of restrictions, precautions, stay times, rest times, or other controls as necessary to safely perform work in high temperature work areas.
3.4.2 The Hexan 2.0 Heat Stress calculator developed by EPRI can be utilized to determine the appropriate stay and recovery times.
4.0 PROCEDURE 4.1 All personnel who are required to work in a high temperature work area must be oriented to the hazards involved.
4.2 All high temperature work regimen will require personnel to work in teams of two or more.
4.3 When WBGT is an odd number not listed on Table 21-2 use the next higher temperature to determine the stay time requirements.
4.4 A work regimen will be established when required by Tables 21-2.
4.5 Stay times shall not be exceeded without the approval of the employee's immediate supervisor and only for emergency situations.
4.6 Personnel experiencing any of the symptoms of heat stress are required to leave the area immediately and let your co-worker know. He/she will leave with you.
4.7 Adhere to all work restrictions that may limit or prohibit exposure to high temperature work.
5.0 WORK TIME LIMITS The work group Supervisor shall:
5.1 Ensure personnel working in high temperature areas have received training on heat stress conditions, symptoms, avoidance, etc. and have been briefed on the specific job, stay times, and PPE to use.
5.2 Determine the temperature (WBGT) of the work area. The maximum temperature identified on the Kestrel WBGT device will be used for stay time calculations.
5.3 See Figure 21-5: for Kestrel WBGT Device Instructions 5.4 The WBGT instrumentation may take up to 15 - 20 minutes to equilibrate depending on the temperature.
5.5 Identify the work rate/metabolism using Table 21-1, Metabolic Rates.
5.6 Identify protective clothing requirements.
5.7 Use the temperature, work rate/metabolism, and protective clothing requirements to determine work time limits:

- a. Choose proper size vest so that vest fits snugly; wear a dry T-shirt under the vest to avoid ice burn.
- b. Monitor your condition and exit the work area as soon as the ice has melted. Ice vests provide body cooling only while ice is melting; body temperature will increase quickly after the ice has melted.
- c. Frisk ice vests used in contaminated areas and have them cleaned before re-use.
6.2.2 Phase-Change Vests
- a. Choose proper size vest so that vest fits snugly.
- b. Monitor your condition and exit the work area as soon as the phase change material has melted. These vests provide body cooling only while the material is melting; body temperature will increase quickly after it has melted.
- c. Frisk these vests used in contaminated areas and have them cleaned before re-use.
6.2.3 Supplied Air Hoods/Helmets
- a. Use supplied air hoods/helmets only as respirators. Their use in contaminated areas must be approved by Radiation Protection.
- b. If used on a job requiring respiratory protection for non-radiological hazards, verify that Industrial Safety has issued a Non-Radiological Respiratory Protection Permit, MRP09001, specifying this type of respiratory protection.
- c. When they are authorized for use, the supplied air hoods/helmets supply respirable air and cooling air to the body.
NOTE:
Rest time should take place in a cool environment, less than 80°F with the individual dressed in light weight clothing.

7.2 For WBGT - determine the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) using a Kestrel Heat Stress Tracker or equivalent WBGT monitor. Determine the temperature upon initial entry into the work area and every 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> thereafter.
7.3 Record temperatures on one Temperature Record Form per shift in each exceptionally hot environment where work is in progress.
7.4 Work group supervisors shall use the temperature data to adjust stay time and rest breaks, when necessary, to ensure that they are safe and adequate to protect the workers.
7.5 Send completed Temperature Record Forms to Industrial Safety at the end of the work.
8.0 DEFINITIONS Acclimatization: A physiological change which occurs as an adaptation to working in hot environments over a period of time. This adaptation results in increased sweating, earlier onset of sweating, more even distribution of sweating, decreased salt loss, a lower basal core temperature and decreased cardiovascular demands. Both heat and physical labor are required to initiate this change.
Action Time (Stay Time): The length of time a healthy, acclimated worker should be able to work in a heat environment, based on environmental conditions such as type of clothing being worn, work being performed, and individual health and metabolism.
Check Time: The prescribed time intervals for which the physical condition of a worker must be evaluated to determine if work can be safely continued after reaching the Action Time.
Dry Bulb Temperature (Ambient): The temperature as measured with a standard thermometer without respect to humidity or Radiant Heat.
Emergency Operations: Activities performed that are related to an immediate safety issue (personnel, industrial, radiological or nuclear) to protect personnel or the public.
This includes rescue, fire suppression, emergency medical care, emergency site security incidents, and placing plant equipment in a safe condition.
Exposure Time: Actual time spent in a heat stress environment.
Globe Temperature: A temperature measurement which calculates contributions of radiant heat using a specially designed thermometer encased in a blackened copper globe.
NOTE:
Organizations such as Operations, Radiation Protection, Security or Radwaste while performing normal plant rounds ARE NOT required to fill out the Temperature Record Form.
FERMI 2 SAFETY HANDBOOK Section 21: Hot and Cold Environments / Temperature Extremes 6
Revision 15 October 2022 Heat Cramps: Painful cramps caused by the loss of body salts and fluid during sweating.
Heat Exhaustion: The body's response to loss of water and salt from heavy sweating.
Signs include headache, nausea, dizziness, weakness, irritability, thirst, and heavy sweating.
Heat Rash: A skin irritation caused by sweat that does not evaporate from the skin.
Heat Stroke: The most serious form of heat-related illness that occurs when the body is unable to regulate its core temperature. Sweating stops and the body can no longer rid itself of excess heat. Signs include confusion, loss of consciousness, and seizures.
Heat Syncope (Fainting): May occur when persons not accustomed to the Heat stay in one position for periods of time. This allows the blood to pool in enlarged blood vessels and lower parts of the body. Insufficient blood is returned to the heart and brain.
High Heat Environment: Environmental or physical conditions in which a worker may be susceptible to heat stress or heat illness. These conditions may exist outdoors or indoors. a. These conditions may include but are not limited to tasks performed in the following types of areas:
(1) Areas of unusually high heat or humidity (i.e., drywell, steam or hot water leak areas, hot exterior weather conditions, near cooling towers, hot wells, heater bays)
(2) Areas with significant sources of radiant heat (i.e., boiler rooms, diesel generator area, steam piping and other heated vessels or the reactor cavity).
Radiant Heat: Electromagnetic Heat transferred from one higher temperature mass to another without direct contact.
Recovery Areas: Areas, preferably indoors, which workers who have been in adverse climate may rest, recover, and rehydrate and should be 80 or below.
Recovery Time: The amount of time required by an exposed workers physiological state to return to its pre-exposure condition.
Self Determination: The method by which an individual may begin to recognize the early warning signs of heat related illness. Self-determination can be used to shorten assigned stay times.
Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT): A composite temperature used to estimate the effect of temperature, humidity, wind speed, and radiant heat.

FERMI 2 SAFETY HANDBOOK Section 21: Hot and Cold Environments / Temperature Extremes 11 Revision 15 October 2022 COLD ENVIRONMENTS 9.0 HYPOTHERMIA Hypothermia results when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it. It is continued loss of heat, occurring in a natural or man-made environment despite protective clothing and bodily defenses. When this occurs, blood vessels in the skin constrict in an attempt to conserve vital internal heat. Hands and feet are affected first, and then involuntary shivers begin. These are usually the first warning signs of hypothermia. Further heat loss produces difficulty of speech, loss of memory, loss of manual dexterity, collapse, and finally, death.
Outdoor workers are likely victims of hypothermia if they do not take necessary precautions to ward off exposure and exhaustion.
Guideline: When the outside temperature falls below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, outside work should be limited to critical tasks and activities.
10.0 EFFECTS OF COLD ENVIRONMENTS ON THE BODY Temperature of hands and feet can fall as much as 40 - 50 degrees F (23-28 degrees C) below normal body temperature without lasting harm.
The bodys sense of cold is a relative factor. Many cases of exposure have occurred in temperatures well above freezing. How cold the body gets depends on many things in addition to air temperature.
Moisture on skin and clothes can conduct heat away from the body much faster than when the skin is dry.
Heat is lost from the body through evaporation even in cold environments. The amount of heat loss from the water evaporating from the skin is not reduced greatly in the cold under ordinary conditions.
In fact, water loss decreases even less as the environment becomes colder, since there is an increase in the quantity of water loss in respiration compensating for the lesser amount lost from skin.
11.0 WIND CHILL INDEX FOR EVALUATING COLD STRESS Wind chill is the effect when the wind blows away the thin layer of air that acts as an insulator between the skin and the surrounding air. Thus, in still air at 30 degrees F, the body feels cool, but the same temperature with a wind 25 miles per hour, the skin gets bitterly cold.
FERMI 2 SAFETY HANDBOOK Section 21: Hot and Cold Environments / Temperature Extremes 12 Revision 15 October 2022 The wind chill index is the best cold stress indices:
The bodys circulatory response to cold reduces blood flow to the skin and extremities. Frostbite, also called congelation, describes the damage that results when tissue temperature falls below freezing as a result of exposure to cold. Superficial frostbite can damage the skin and the tissues immediately below it?
12.0 CONTROL MEASURES AGAINST COLD STRESS Clothing is a barrier between the body and the environment for transfer of heat affecting it. Frostbite and hypothermia can be controlled by wearing clothing appropriate to specific types of cold environments. Usually such clothing combines a wind and water-proof layer and multiple, light inner layers designed to produce a dead air space between the body and the outer layer. However, keep in mind that cold weather gear may have an effect on maneuverability.
Additional defenses include vigorous activity and rubbing affected tingling surfaces to stimulate local circulation. Numb surfaces should not be rubbed. If practical, treat affected parts with warm water or warm compresses.

FERMI 2 SAFETY HANDBOOK Section 21: Hot and Cold Environments / Temperature Extremes 14 Revision 15 October 2022 HEAT STRESS FACT SHEET The body is continually producing heat every second that it lives. This heat comes from the breakdown of food that the body uses to supply the energy it needs to support its life processes. About 75% of the energy consumed by the body ends up in the form of heat, which in turn heats up the body. Increased physical activity produces even more body heat. To maintain a normal acceptable body temperature, this heat must be brought to the skin surface and exchanged with the air surrounding the body.
The physiological process that maintains the balance between heat production and heat removal is a complex one involving the central nervous system, the circulatory system, the skin, and the muscles. The situation is similar to the working system for the automobile engine. In the engine, energy and heat are produced in the block. Water is pumped through the block where it absorbs heat, then through the radiator, where the heat is exchanged with the atmosphere. The rate of circulation is controlled by a thermostat, which opens when the engine is hot. Similarly, in the body the blood carries heat from the core of the body to the skin. The amount of blood flowing to the skin can be increased or decreased. The rate of heat loss can be increased if necessary, by wetting the skin with perspiration. When water evaporates, the water molecules absorb a large quantity of heat. The heat gained by the water molecules as they evaporate is lost from the wetted skin surface. Under conditions of excessive heat stress, this evaporative cooling becomes the major avenue for achieving heat balance.
Heat stress problems arise when the body produces more heat than it can get rid of. When this happens, a variety of illnesses can occur depending on the duration and severity of stress and the effectiveness of steps taken to relieve the stress.
WARNING: If you or your co-workers experience any signs of heat stress, leave the area, AND notify your supervisor immediately.
WARNING: Alcohol and caffeine intake before work will cause the body to lose water and prevent the bodys ability to properly regulate heat in extremely hot environments.
Dehydration: The water lost from the body as perspiration must be replaced by drinking water if dehydration is to be prevented. Dehydration rapidly leads to decreases in performance and work capacity and to heat exhaustion. Perspiration production of 8 to 10 quarts each working day is not uncommon in hot environments. This means that water must be replaced at the rate of at least one quart each hour. When perspiration is heavy, a better practice is to drink about a cup of cool (no cold) water every 10 to 20 minutes throughout the workday.
Salt Intake: Moderation is needed when increasing salt intake because too much salt actually reduces heat tolerance, and for persons with high blood pressure, increased salt intake can actually aggravate the condition to a dangerous level.
FERMI 2 SAFETY HANDBOOK Section 21: Hot and Cold Environments / Temperature Extremes 15 Revision 15 October 2022 Each of the heat stress illnesses is described in the following table.
ILLNESS SYMPTOMS CAUSES ACTION EXCESSIVE HEAT STRAIN Heart rate over 3 minutes is greater than 180 bpm minus the individuals age in years (180 - age)
Recovery heart rate 1 minute after peak work effort is still greater than 110 bpm Body cannot get rid of heat faster than it is being generated.
Rest in a cool environment and fluid replacement will result in full recovery.
HEAT CRAMPS Involve mainly the hand, arm, leg, and abdominal muscles.
Result from excessive loss of salt in the perspiration without adequate replacement. not very common and occur mostly when perspiration is heavy, water replacement is adequate, but salt intake is low. For heat adjusted (acclimatized) workers, the usual diet contains enough salt because their perspiration is low in salt.
Drinking electrolyte replacement fluid is the best and safest way to maintain fluid and salt balance at the same time.
HEAT EXHAUSTION Body temperature is usually normal and the skin is cool, wet, and pale major symptoms are giddiness, headache, weakness, fainting, vomiting, and a rapid, weak pulse.
Caused by an insufficient blood flow to the brain because too much blood has been diverted to the skin in an effort to cool the body.
Rest in a cool environment and fluid replacement will result in full recovery. This type of heat illness is usually caused by inadequate fluid intake to make up for the body water lost in the perspiration.
HEAT STROKE AN URGENT MEDICAL EMERGENCY Usually, collapse and coma with high body temperature are the first symptoms, and the victim's skin may be red, hot, and dry.
Results from a high body temperature that is caused by a failure of the body's cooling system. The high body temperature accompanying heat stroke can be fatal if it is not lowered.
Treatment consists of rapid reduction of the body temperature by immersion in ice bath, alcohol spray, or fans and wet sheets. Age, obesity, lack of physical fitness and hard physical work are factors that increase the chances of heat stroke. Heat stroke is a serious medical emergency and requires speedy medical attention to save the victim's life.
FERMI 2 SAFETY HANDBOOK Section 21: Hot and Cold Environments / Temperature Extremes 16 Revision 15 October 2022 COLD STRESS FACT SHEET Temperature of hands and feet can fall as much as 40-50°F below normal body temperature without lasting harm. Superficial or deep local tissue freezing will occur at thermometer readings of 30°F regardless of wind speed. For exposed skin, continuous exposure should not be permitted when the effective chill temperature is -25°F or colder.
The bodys sense of cold is a relative factor. Many cases of exposure have occurred in temperatures well above freezing. How cold the body gets depends on many things in addition to air temperature. Moisture on skin and clothes can conduct heat away from the body much faster than when the skin is dry.
Heat is lost from the body through evaporation even in cold environments. The amount of heat loss from the water evaporating from the skin is not reduced greatly in the cold under ordinary conditions. In fact, water loss decreases even less as the environment becomes colder, since there is an increase in the quantity of water loss in respiration compensating for the lesser amount lost from skin. Two of the most common cold stress ailments are frostbite and hypothermia (see information on each below).
WARNING: If you or your co-workers experience any signs of cold stress, leave the area, AND notify your supervisor immediately.
WARNING: Alcohol and caffeine intake before work will cause the body to constrict blood vessels and prevent the bodys ability to properly regulate temperature.
FERMI 2 SAFETY HANDBOOK Section 21: Hot and Cold Environments / Temperature Extremes 17 Revision 15 October 2022 Each of the cold stress illnesses is described in the following table.
ILLNESS SYMPTOMS CAUSES ACTION FROSTBITE Redness and stinging or burning pain followed by white or grayish-yellow, firm, waxy-looking skin, swelling, throbbing, or the absence of pain.
When thawed the skin is usually reddened and painful, and blisters may form. In moderate to severe cases, the skin may turn black due to tissue death and superficial or deep gangrene.
Freezing and destruction of tissue due to cold - typically ears, mouth, cheeks, nose, fingers, and toes.
Tissue destruction is much greater when thawing is followed by refreezing.
Contributing factors include contact with wet materials or metal, wind, and lack of adequate clothing. Some additional factors include alcohol consumption, extreme age, and some medical conditions, e.g. atherosclerosis, beta-blocker medications.
Cover affected areas with extra clothing or a warm, dry cloth if person is still exposed to the cold.
Place hands under the armpit for additional warmth if hands are affected. Place palms of hands over ears if they are affected.
Handle the affected area gently.
DO NOT massage. DO NOT rub the area with snow or anything else.
Move the person to a warm environment ASAP. DO NOT allow a person with frostbitten feet or toes to walk - this may result in additional damage to the affected areas.
Remove any wet or cold clothing.
Loosen constricting clothing from affected area.
Frostbite beyond redness and stinging that subsides when the affected area is warmed is a serious medical condition.
HYPOTHERMIA Hands and feet are cold and pale followed by involuntary shivering. Additional signs and symptoms include dizziness, nausea, numbness, lethargy, slurred speech, visual impairment, clumsiness, mental confusion, hallucinations, drowsiness or sleepiness, loss of consciousness, and finally, death.
Hypothermia is a life-threatening situation, especially when shivering stops and lethargy and confusion increase, which is considered an emergency.
Results when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it and the body temperature decreases to < 95°F. Some contributing factors include a persons immobility, damp or wet clothing, wind chill, or direct contact with a cold surface.
Move the person to a warm environment as soon as possible.
Handle very gently - any jarring or sudden motion may trigger a severe medical condition.
Remove any wet or cold clothing.
Loosen constricting clothing from affected area.
DO NOT massage the arms or legs
- this may worsen muscle damage.
Keep the person resting comfortably.
If severe hypothermia, keep the person warm and get the person to the nearest emergency facility.

4.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 4.1 Radioactive contamination is of special concern because of the potential internal dose caused by radioactive material absorbed into the bloodstream through an open wound.
Specific guidelines for rendering medical care and first aid to contaminated personnel may limit or even eliminate the absorption of radionuclides.
4.2 Prompt treatment of serious or potentially serious injuries or illnesses (e.g., life-threatening conditions) takes priority over decontamination efforts, treatment of radiation exposure, or movement of the victim.
4.3 Individuals injured inside a RCA must be surveyed by Radiation Protection personnel prior to determining the individual is not contaminated.
4.4 All occupational injuries and non-occupational injuries and illnesses must be reported to the employees supervisor.
EP-225 Revision 16A Page 3 4.5 A Plant First Responder is a qualified first aid provider dedicated to responding to medical emergencies onsite. Plant First Responders are qualified in basic first aid and CPR as part of their training in Responding to Emergencies. However, Plant First Responders are not required to be certified through the State First Responder Program.
4.5.1 During normal working hours, the Onsite Nurse is responsible for first aid treatment and the decision for offsite medical assistance. During off hours, or when the Onsite Nurse is not present, the Plant First Responder is responsible for first aid treatment and the decision for offsite medical assistance. If neither the nurse nor Plant First Responder is available, Operations personnel qualified in first aid are responsible for the previously stated responsibilities.
4.5.2 First aid providers should ensure adequate protective clothing is worn to protect themselves from blood and other potentially infectious materials that may be present during response to a medical emergency.
4.6 In the event of mass casualties involving contaminated or potentially contaminated personnel. Monroe County Emergency Management Plan, Annex K. Appendix 1, Nuclear Accident Procedures Emergency Medical Services, states that Monroe County Emergency Medical Services Official will be responsible for mobilizing and coordinating all emergency medical services (EMS) resources to respond promptly to a nuclear facility accident including communication, transport and treatment.
Triage areas would be established by the Incident Commander in accordance with local response protocols. The Nuclear Training Center or any other suitable onsite location would be made available to the Incident Commander.
In the event of a casualty that prevents immediate removal of injured personnel from site, the Nuclear Training Center (NTC) can be used as a triage staging area, as designated by the Shift Manager. The NTC provides an area accessible to offsite medical responders without approaching the protected area of the plant. Transport of more seriously injured personnel could then occur while less seriously injured continue to receive treatment from onsite and offsite medical responders.
EP-225 Revision 16A Page 4 5.0 IMMEDIATE ACTIONS CAUTION Unless there is an immediate danger to life or limb, a person with a serious illness or injury should not be moved until medically evaluated.
5.1 Initial Response Who Step Action 5.1.1 Upon discovering an injured and contaminated or potentially contaminated individual:
