8.0 EXAMPLES OF LOCAL RESPONSE EVENTS 8.1 UF, RELEASE The release is confined primarily to the building, and the ventilation system is expected to control the material.

The immediate area of the release such as the UF, Bay, Kiln Room, Conversion Area, etc., may be evacuated as a precaution (i.e., partial evacuation).

Air samples confirm that the release is confined as above, dissipated quickly and has been terminated in a timely manner.

Bioassay may be initiated to determine personnel exposures, but no exposures greater than 40 DAC-hrs are expected.

The UF, cylinder valve or UF, block valves can be closed quickly to isolate the cylinder.

There is a minimal threat of release to the environment.

. 8 '. 2 FIRE The : fire -is confined to a ventilated enclosure or other

-process equipment with smoke-confined primarily to the building.

The ventilation system is expected to control the material.

Emergency Brigade Responders (or trained Operators) immediately identify the source of the fire and extinguish it quickly.

L The immediate area of the fire may be evacuated as a

precaution (i.e., partial-evacuation).

Air samples confirm smoke is confined to the building.

Bioassay may be initiated to determine personnel exposures, but no exposures greater than 40 DAC-hrs are expected.

8.3 EXPLOSION

-(

A hydrogen " pop" has occurred which causes minor damage to

\\

adjacent equipment.

Air - samples are elevated initially, but return to normal within a few minutes.

The source of the " pop" is determined and controlled.

The area adjacent to the event is evacuated (i.e.,

partial evacu'ation).as a precaution.

Bioassay may be initiated to determine personnel exposures, but no exposures greater than 40 DAC-hrs are expected.
