you have questions, The next page lists phone numbers and addresses you can use. | |||
I Ls RgjiQ 4i Qll Radiation is all around us in the world. It is in the air, in food and water. It is in our homes.and in our bodies. This is background radiation. Man-made radiation is used by doctors and dentists', in" the form of X'-rays and gamma rays. | |||
How much radiation do you get in these ways? It is commonly measured in "millirems." Americans get from 100 to 200 millirems | |||
,a year from background sources. Man-made sources add about 90 more. Here are some of the amounts you might get. | |||
e Living for a year in a city like Denver that has a high altitude about 180 millirems | |||
~ Taking a plane flight from coast to coast about 3 millirems i Watching color TV for one hour a day for a year about 1 millirem o Living for a.year close to a nuclear power plant less than 1 millirem Can radiation be harmful? Yes, that's why public health experts say you should get as little as you can. That means you need to avoid the radiation that could come from a nuclear accident. The counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Wake, and the State of North Carolina have set up the plan in this booklet to protect you if that should happen. | |||
Could a nuclear plant blow up? No. A nuclear plant is netlike a bomb. It cangaotexplode. | |||
How could you be exposed to radiation in an accident at the plant? Radioactive material could get into the air and water, causing a risk to your health if you live near the Harris plant. You could then be exposed to it in three ways. | |||
~ By radiation in the air and on the ground. Exposure will stop if you go to a place with no radiation. | |||
~ By radiation on hair, skin, and clothes. Exposure will stop if you wash the radiation off. | |||
o From breathing or swallowing radioactive material. Exposure will stop when one of two things happens to the material: | |||
- it stops giving off radiation your body eliminates it How can you know how harmful the radiation will be to you? It depends on these things: | |||
~ The type you get | |||
~ The amount you get | |||
~ The length of time you are exposed | |||
~ The amount of your body that is exposed | |||
~ The amount of radioactive material you breathe or take into your body The higher the level of radiation and the longer you are exposed to it, the greater the harm will be. | |||
You are not safe to stay outside while air with radioactive material passes over you. Taking shelter is the safest thing you can do until the wind carries the radioactive material away. | |||
&ha~ Mi<L it~ Sirens B~ l~n~J G~> | |||
Sirens were bought and put in place by CP8cL to warn you if there is an emergency at the Harris plant. To be sure they can do this, they must be tested from time to time. That means a siren blast could be a warning, but may only be a test. | |||
~ How can you tell when there is a warning and not just a test? The best way is to tune in an EBS radio or TV station. If there is an emergency, these stations will stop their regular programs. | |||
They will tell you what has happened and what to do. And remember, do not evacuate if you hear the sirens. The EBS stations will tell you if that should be done. | |||
What will be different in a test. The EBS stations will not stop their regular programs. Tuning in an EBS station is always the best thing to do. | |||
Is there any other way you can tell when there is just a test? Yes, because some tests will not sound the same as warnings. Here are the kinds of tests that will be made: | |||
~ Stleat Test. A silent test will be made every two weeks. In this kind of test, a silent signal is sent to each siren. The sirens should make no noise in this test. | |||
~ ~ Quarterly "Grow]'est. A "growl" test will be made every three months. In this kind of test, there will be a low, sound for a few seconds at a time. Each siren will sound like it is "growling" when it is tested. The dates of these "growl" tests will be announced in the local news. | |||
Full System Test. A full system test will be made at least once a year. In this kind of test, all the sirens will be turned on at the same time. The sirens will stay on for as long as three minutes, just as they may in- an emergency. The dates of these full system tests will be announced in the local news. | |||
But to be sure there is no emergency, tune in your EBS station. | |||
Is there any other time the sirens might be turned. on? Yes, they might be turned-on in the emergency preparedness test each year at the plant. The dates of these tests willbe announced in the local news. | |||
Who controls the sirens? The State of North Carolina and the counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee and Wake. Local emergency officials turn on the sirens for tests and will also turn them on if they need to warn you of danger. | |||

0~ Hc~~ lhe. Siren s Sirens can mean many things. Fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, and others use them. But if you live as close as 10 miles from the Harris plant, sirens egg have a special meaning. They can tuel there is an emergency at the plant. | |||
What will happen in an emergency? CP8cL will call state and federal officials, and officials in Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Wake counties. These local officials will sound, the sirens. You will hear a long siren blast of 3 to 5 minutes. | |||
How can you be sure you will hear the sirens? To help you hear them, officials have placed 62 of the sirens on tall poles. Emergency workers may also use sound trucks and bullhorns to be sure you are warned. They will even knock on doors if needed. Persons on Jordan Lake and Harris Lake, or in the nearby parks, will get another warning. Boats and aircraft will use sirens, red smoke, and flares to warn them. | |||
What should be done when you hear the Notens or get one of the athar waanfpgs? Turn en you@ | |||

Whv not evacuate leave your home or the place you work as soon as you hear the sirens? | |||
Because the sirens may only mean a test, not an emergency. Your EBS station will tell you if there is an emergency. If just a test, the station will go on with regular programs. (For more information about siren tests, turn to page 10.) | |||
I But why not evacuate just to be safe? Because that may not be the safest thing. Your EBS station will tell you what is best. Pages 4 and 5 describe what you may be asked to do. | |||
Why not call someone to find out what to do? Because the phone lines will be needed for official calls. Please do not use your phone unless you need special help. | |||
What if you are deaf or hard of hearing? Officials will see that you are warned. But to do this, they must know that you need a special warning. Please fill out the card. on page 8 and send it inncnv. Make sure your friends who cannot hear fillout a card too. | |||

I Ls RgjiQ 4i Qll Radiation is all around us in the world. It is in the air, in food and water. It is in our homes.and in our bodies. This is background radiation. Man-made radiation is used by doctors and dentists', in" the form of X'-rays and gamma rays.
How much radiation do you get in these ways? It is commonly measured in "millirems." Americans get from 100 to 200 millirems
,a year from background sources. Man-made sources add about 90 more. Here are some of the amounts you might get.
e Living for a year in a city like Denver that has a high altitude about 180 millirems
~ Taking a plane flight from coast to coast about 3 millirems i Watching color TV for one hour a day for a year about 1 millirem o Living for a.year close to a nuclear power plant less than 1 millirem Can radiation be harmful? Yes, that's why public health experts say you should get as little as you can. That means you need to avoid the radiation that could come from a nuclear accident. The counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Wake, and the State of North Carolina have set up the plan in this booklet to protect you if that should happen.
Could a nuclear plant blow up? No. A nuclear plant is netlike a bomb. It cangaotexplode.
How could you be exposed to radiation in an accident at the plant? Radioactive material could get into the air and water, causing a risk to your health if you live near the Harris plant. You could then be exposed to it in three ways.
~ By radiation in the air and on the ground. Exposure will stop if you go to a place with no radiation.
~ By radiation on hair, skin, and clothes. Exposure will stop if you wash the radiation off.
o From breathing or swallowing radioactive material. Exposure will stop when one of two things happens to the material:
- it stops giving off radiation your body eliminates it How can you know how harmful the radiation will be to you? It depends on these things:
~ The type you get
~ The amount you get
~ The length of time you are exposed
~ The amount of your body that is exposed
~ The amount of radioactive material you breathe or take into your body The higher the level of radiation and the longer you are exposed to it, the greater the harm will be.
You are not safe to stay outside while air with radioactive material passes over you. Taking shelter is the safest thing you can do until the wind carries the radioactive material away.
&ha~ Mi<L it~ Sirens B~ l~n~J G~>
Sirens were bought and put in place by CP8cL to warn you if there is an emergency at the Harris plant. To be sure they can do this, they must be tested from time to time. That means a siren blast could be a warning, but may only be a test.
~ How can you tell when there is a warning and not just a test? The best way is to tune in an EBS radio or TV station. If there is an emergency, these stations will stop their regular programs.
They will tell you what has happened and what to do. And remember, do not evacuate if you hear the sirens. The EBS stations will tell you if that should be done.
What will be different in a test. The EBS stations will not stop their regular programs. Tuning in an EBS station is always the best thing to do.
Is there any other way you can tell when there is just a test? Yes, because some tests will not sound the same as warnings. Here are the kinds of tests that will be made:
~ Stleat Test. A silent test will be made every two weeks. In this kind of test, a silent signal is sent to each siren. The sirens should make no noise in this test.
~ ~ Quarterly "Grow]'est. A "growl" test will be made every three months. In this kind of test, there will be a low, sound for a few seconds at a time. Each siren will sound like it is "growling" when it is tested. The dates of these "growl" tests will be announced in the local news.
Full System Test. A full system test will be made at least once a year. In this kind of test, all the sirens will be turned on at the same time. The sirens will stay on for as long as three minutes, just as they may in- an emergency. The dates of these full system tests will be announced in the local news.
But to be sure there is no emergency, tune in your EBS station.
Is there any other time the sirens might be turned. on? Yes, they might be turned-on in the emergency preparedness test each year at the plant. The dates of these tests willbe announced in the local news.
Who controls the sirens? The State of North Carolina and the counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee and Wake. Local emergency officials turn on the sirens for tests and will also turn them on if they need to warn you of danger.

0~ Hc~~ lhe. Siren s Sirens can mean many things. Fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, and others use them. But if you live as close as 10 miles from the Harris plant, sirens egg have a special meaning. They can tuel there is an emergency at the plant.
What will happen in an emergency? CP8cL will call state and federal officials, and officials in Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Wake counties. These local officials will sound, the sirens. You will hear a long siren blast of 3 to 5 minutes.
How can you be sure you will hear the sirens? To help you hear them, officials have placed 62 of the sirens on tall poles. Emergency workers may also use sound trucks and bullhorns to be sure you are warned. They will even knock on doors if needed. Persons on Jordan Lake and Harris Lake, or in the nearby parks, will get another warning. Boats and aircraft will use sirens, red smoke, and flares to warn them.
What should be done when you hear the Notens or get one of the athar waanfpgs? Turn en you@
ta8fo op Bf. Tune to one of the EBS (Emergency Broadcast System) stations on page 3. To make this easy, choose a TV station and a radio station you usually listen to. Put this information in the blanks on page 1 if you have not yet done so. That way you willbe prepared for an emergency.
Whv not evacuate leave your home or the place you work as soon as you hear the sirens?
Because the sirens may only mean a test, not an emergency. Your EBS station will tell you if there is an emergency. If just a test, the station will go on with regular programs. (For more information about siren tests, turn to page 10.)
I But why not evacuate just to be safe? Because that may not be the safest thing. Your EBS station will tell you what is best. Pages 4 and 5 describe what you may be asked to do.
Why not call someone to find out what to do? Because the phone lines will be needed for official calls. Please do not use your phone unless you need special help.
What if you are deaf or hard of hearing? Officials will see that you are warned. But to do this, they must know that you need a special warning. Please fill out the card. on page 8 and send it inncnv. Make sure your friends who cannot hear fillout a card too.
Be sure you and your family know what to do in an emergency. Read through this booklet. Fill in the blanks in the box on page 1. Look at the information about TV and radio stations on the next page. It can help you start to fillin the blanks.
