These NRC reviews confirmed that each unit at the Indian Point Energy Center has a number of engineered safety features to minimize the off site environmental impact of potential radiological releases and that Entergy Nuclear Northeast, the nuclear facility operator, (hereinafter referred to as "Entergy")
who operates the Indian Point Energy Center, has in effect many rigidly enforced safety features and programs associated with the handling of radioactive materials.
Nevertheless, radioactive release incidents affecting public health and safety in Westchester County and the other three counties surrounding Indian Point may occur. Therefore, it is not only considered both prudent and appropriate to plan for such a contingency, but is required by Federal regulation in order to ensure that the off site impact of such an occurrence is minimized.

Indian Point Energy Center (lPEC) Description
: a. Site Location The Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) is located on the east bank of the Hudson River about 24 miles north of the New York City boundary line at Indian Point, Village of Buchanan in upper Westchester County, New York State. The station is about 0.8 miles southwest of the City ofPeekskiIl, 8.3 miles south of West Point, 1.5 miles northeast of the Lovett Generating Station site, 4.6 miles north of the Bowline Point Generating Station site and 2.3 miles north of Montrose Point. b. Site Area Authority and Control The Indian Point Energy Center is owned and operated by Entergy Nuclear Northeast.
There are no residences within the site boundary.
In addition, there are no public highways or railroads that traverse the site area. Entergy has the authority to determine and control all non-emergency activities occurring within the site boundary.
This includes the removal and exclusion of personnel and the removal of property from the site. Additionally, Entergy is responsible for planning and implementation of the emergency response activities at the IPEC. The site area boundary is used for establishing effiuent release limits and enables the Nuclear Facility Operator to fulfill it's obligations with regard to the V.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements contained in 10CFR20. Access to the site is controlled for the purposes of protecting individuals from exposure to radiation or radioactive materials and to keep unauthorized persons outside the area. c. Regional Topography REV 0.0 (Draft) 08/06110 The Indian Point Energy Center is surrounded on almost all sides by high ground ranging from 600 to 1,000 feet above sea leveL The site is on the east bank of the Hudson River which runs northeast to southwest at this point but turns sharply northwest approximately two miles northeast of the site. The west bank of the Hudson is flanked by the steep, heavily 1-3 WCREP Volume 1 Section I: Introduction wooded slopes of the Dunderberg and West Mountains to the northwest (elevations 1,086 feet and 1,257 feet respectively) and Buckberg Mountain to the west-southwest (elevation 793 feet). These peaks extend to the west by other names and gradually rise to slightly higher peaks. The general orientation of this mass of high ground is northeast to southwest.
One mile northwest of the site, Dunderberg bulges to the east; north of Dunderberg and the site, high ground reaching 800 feet forms the east bank of the Hudson as the river makes a sharp turn to the northwest.
To the east of the site, peaks are generally lower than those to the north and west. Spitzenberg and Blue Mountain each average about 600 feet in height and there is a weak, poorly defined series of ridges which again run mainly in a north-northeast direction.
The river south of the site makes another sharp bend to the southeast and then widens as it flows in a southerly direction past Croton-on-Hudson and Haverstraw.
: d. Site Description The Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) is approximately 239 acres in size and contains three pressurized water reactors.
Unit 1 (615 MWt, 265 MWe, de-fueled and not operating), Unit 2 (3,071 MWt, 981 MWe) and Unit 3 (3,071 MWt, 981 MWe). Indian Point Unit 3 is adjacent to and south of Unit 1, and Unit 2 is adjacent to and north of Unit 1. Figure 1-3 is . a plot plan of all facilities at the IPEC. The two operating plants were designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
The Indian Point pressurized water reactors each contain a nuclear reactor and closed loops of pressurized water, which remove the heat energy from the reactor core and transfer the energy to a secondary water system that generates steam. The steam, in turn, drives a turbine generator set which produces electric power. This is shown in Figure 1-4. 2. Westchester County Description
: a. Westchester County Locale REV 0.0 (Draft) 08/06110 The area within ten miles of the Indian Point Energy Center is located within four counties:
approximately 37% Westchester, 27% Rockland, 21% Orange and 15% Putnam. 1-4 WCREP Volume 1 Section I: Introduction Geo-politically, the portion of Westchester County within the approximate ten-mile emergency planning zone varies from Peekskill, a city of22,459 (2000 census) -0.8 miles northeast of the site, to unpopulated parkland.
The western boundary of Westchester County runs approximately through the center of the Hudson River, the northern border coinciding with the southern border of Putnam County, the eastern border coinciding with the western border of Connecticut in the north and Long Island Sound in the south and the southern border coinciding with the northern border of New York City .. At the extreme northwestern comer of the County is the Bear Mountain Bridge, approximately 3.8 miles north of the site; it is the only crossing within the ten-mile zone. The Metro-North Hudson Line (MTA), runs north-south along the river and passes within one mile of the site. Major highways within the Westchester portion of the ten-mile zone include Routes 9 and 9A running north-south, the Bear Mountain State Parkway, Routes 6, 35 and 202 all running east-west through Peekskill and the Taconic State Parkway running north-south, approximately seven miles east of the site. b. Westchester County Infrastructure REV 0.0 (Draft) 08/06110 Westchester's location in the metropolitan region is one of its premier features.
The county is easily accessible to and from New York City as well as Connecticut, New Jersey, Rockland and points north such as Albany. The road network offers a system of interconnecting routes for direct travel. Alternate roads are generally available when needed -for efficiency or preference.
Road maintenance is a priority and Westchester County coordinates with the NYS Department of Transportation to promote optimal conditions on the roads. The County's SMART Commute Program provides information on ride sharing and transit as alternatives to driving alone during commute hours. Public transportation is readily available intra-county and inter-county.
Westchester's Bee Line System provides routes throughout the county, express service into Manhattan and connections to Metro-North Railroad Stations.
Express bus service between White Plains and Stamford, CT is operated by Connecticut Transit. MTA Metro-North Railroad operates three rail lines with frequent daily service between 44 Westchester stations 1-5 WCREP Volume 1 Section I: Introduction and New York City. For longer distances, Amtrak services the Harmon, New Rochelle and Yonkers railroad stations for points north to Canada, south to Baltimore and Washington, west to Chicago and northeast to Boston. Westchester County's airport serves passengers in its new world-class terminal with service provided by a number of major U.S. airlines.
The airport handles most types of aircraft and is the largest corporate terminal in the country. Power in Westchester County is transmitted and distributed by Consolidated Edison and by New York State Electric and Gas. The utilities offer a number of special rate programs to qualifying customers, business and residential, which result in savings in dollars and energy. Power programs specifically for industrial and government customers are provided by and accessed through the Westchester County Public Utility Agency and the New York Power Authority.
Westchester's drinking water is provided by two major types of suppliers, municipal and private. The principal water source for both municipal and private suppliers is the New York City water supply system. The Catskill, Croton and Delaware systems are part of the New York City reservoir and aqueduct system and provide water to 85% of Westchester's residents.
Seven County-operated wastewater treatment plants located along the Hudson River and Long Island Sound shores service approximately 90% of the county's population.
The remaining areas in the north county towns depend on locally-based central sewage collection and treatment districts or on subsurface sewage disposal systems located on each lot. Most solid waste is processed at the Charles Point Resource Recovery Facility in Peekskill.
Recyclables are received at the County's Material Recovery Facility which separates, processes and markets materials -a proven effective method of waste management.
A more detailed description of Westchester County's infrastructure can be found in the "Databook" maintained by the Westchester Planning Department.
It may be accesses via the County's website at: http://www.westchestergov.comlplanningiresearchlDatabooklDatabook.pdf.
: c. Westchester County Population REV 0.0 (Draft) 08/06/10 In 2008, Westchester's popUlation was estimated to be 953,943 according to the US Census Bureau's American Cornmunity Survey. Since the 2000 Census, Westchester's population has increased by 30,484 people or 3.3 1-6 WCREP REV 0.0 (Draft) 08/06110 Volume 1 Section I: Introduction percent, and the County's population has increased by 9.0 percent (79,077 persons) in the eighteen years since the 1990 Census. The population distribution within the approximate 10-miIe EPZ of the IPEC, is presented in Appendix O. 1-7 WCREP Volume 1 Section 1: Introduction C. ASSUMPTIONS
: 1. Background The nature of the uranium fuel at the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) precludes the possibility of a nuclear explosion (a weapon-type detonation).
Other types of accidents are possible, but unlikely.
These accidents, should they occur, would almost certainly be contained within the reactor containment building.
Nonetheless, an accidental release of radioactive materials to the off site environment remains a remote possibility.
If such a release should occur, the radioactive materials released would be comprised primarily of radioactive iodine, xenon and krypton gases. Although iodine filters will absorb most of all of the radioactive iodine released, the remaining gases vented into the atmosphere and carried by the wind into nearby areas of Westchester County could result in a potential hazard to the health and safety of the general public in the affected areas. 2. Emergency Planning Basis A report prepared by the joint NRC-EPA task force on emergency planning entitled "Planning Basis for the Development of State and Local Government Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plans in Support of Light Water Nuclear Power P!ants" (NUREG-0396, 12178) recommends the creation of two Emergency Planning Zones (EPZ) around fixed nuclear power facilities.
This recommendation was subsequently adopted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency as the planning basis for the development of licensee, state and local radiological emergency preparedness plans, in NVREG-0654/
FEMA-REP-I "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," which was published in January of 1980 and revised in November, 1980. The first EPZ, the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone, is approximately ten (10) miles in radius and is designed primarily to control radiation exposures to the general public from direct radiation exposure from the plume. The principal radiation sources associated with this pathway are: (a) whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials and (b) inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The time of potential exposure could range in length from hours to days. The second, the ingestion pathway EPZ, is approximately fifty (50) miles in radius, includes the 10-mile EPZ and is designed primarily to monitor contamination from any releases.
The principal sources of radiation exposure from this pathway would be from ingestion of contaminated water or foods such as milk or fresh vegetables.
The time of potential exposure could range in length from hours to months. REV 0.0 (Draft) 08/06/10 1-8 WCREP Volume 1 Section I: Introduction D. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS When considering preparedness, response and recovery for the IPEC, there are general responsibilities, which are shared by all levels of government and the Nuclear Facility Operator Entergy Nuclear Northeast.
These emergencies will initially be dealt with at the County (or local) level. In accordance with Article 2B of the Executive Law of the State of New York, the County Executive may proclaim a Local State of Emergency within any part or all of the territorial limits of the County. The County Executive may also request the Governor to declare a State of Emergency, or as a result of a disaster arising from a radiological accident, the Governor may direct the County Executive and emergency service organizations to notify the public that an emergency exists and take appropriate actions according to the New York State Plan. The County will first utilize county resources.
When resources are exhausted or additional assistance is required, such assistance will be requested and provided through the New York State Emergency Management Office (SEMO). If it is necessary, the Governor will request Federal assistance.
State and local resources such as airfields, command posts and communications will be made available, if possible, to support the Federal responSe.
A liaison person for the Federal response has been designated in Part 1, Section III, of the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. This liaison person will be responsible for maintaining the list of resources available and maintaining communications with Federal agencies.
The list of resources will be found in Part III, Section II, "Lists, Maps and Resources 1/ of the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. E. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES
: 1. County Responsibility It is the responsibility of the government of each county to provide resources (equipment and personnel) for the effective implementation of the protective action response options required to protect the health and property of the general public and emergency workers in the event of a radiological release incident.
Ifprotective actions are required, the county will:
* Activate its emergency operations center.
* Notify municipal officials and other appropriate public officials.
* Consider initial precautionary actions.
* Delay opening of schools, if appropriate; REV 0.0 (Draft) 08/06/10 or, shelter schools pending further determination; or, early dismissal of schools, sending students home; or, 1-9 WCREP Volume 1 Section I: Introduction close school and evacuate students to a School Reception Center.
* Close parks and recreational areas.
* Initiate public information functions and participate in the Joint Information Center as a centralized source for public information and media releases.
* * * * * * * *
* Clear the Hudson River of pleasure craft within the 10-mile EPZ and (possibly) close the river to commercial traffic in the potentially affected area (U.S. Coast Guard authority and action). Notify law enforcement officials and possibly establish Traffic Control Points. Notify hospitals, nursing homes and other special facilities.
Place on stand-by transportation resources, fire and emergency medical services, field monitoring teams, Congregate Care Centers and Reception Centers and Reception Center support personnel.
Notify FAA and Metro-North (including Conrail/CSX and Amtrak). Request/receive reports from agencies reporting to Emergency Operations Center. Consider (in consultation with the County Executives of Orange, Putnam and Rockland Counties) the declaration ofa Local State of Emergency.
In the event of a need to modify public behavior, consider (in consultation with the County Executives of Orange, Putnam and Rockland Counties) making public notification through sounding sirens followed immediately by an Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio message. In support of a federal response, OEM will provide liaisons to any federal operations centers that may be established, and the county will make county-owned facilities, such as the airport and Westchester County Center, available to the extent requested and feasible (Note: See section I.E.2 below. The State Operations Officer is responsible for communicating with federal responders, determining needs and relaying that information to the county EOC. To date, no pre-planned requests for facility or other support services have been made to the county.) REV 0.0 (Draft) 08/06110 1-10 WCREP 2. Section I: Introduction State Responsibility Volume 1 It is the responsibility of the State of New York to recommend protective actions that would prevent or minimize radiation exposure to the population in the event of a radiological release incident.
The State will also provide technical guidance and evaluation.
Other than the extension of credit, assistance in the form of personnel, equipment, supplies, services and facilities may be provided when local resources are insufficient to cope with the effects of the emergency.
The State shall take the necessary actions to respond to those instances where a county does not have the capability to implement all or part of its Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan or the Chief Executive of a county does not elect to put such a plan into effect. The State assigns a State Liaison Officer who will coordinate the support for Federal agencies.
This Liaison Officer will also be responsible to coordinate Federal support with the County when necessary.
The State will continue to work closely with the Federal Government in all aspects of emergency management and will continue its role of intermediary between the Federal Government, local governments and private citizens (Ref. NYS Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan, Part I, Section II.B.a. page II-I). The Operations Officer at the State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is the designated State liaison to the Federal agencies, which have been requested to provide response support to the State (Ref. NYS Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan, Part I, Section III, 1.4.). 3. Nuclear Facility Operators' Responsibility It is the responsibility of Entergy Nuclear Northeast to provide overall assessment, evaluation and notification for response to both onsite and offsite emergency situations.
The scope of their responsibility ranges from timely response action and notification in the event of minor occurrences which may lead to more serious consequences, through increasingly serious conditions, to severe events which may require immediate notification and evacuation of the public and the activation of a large emergency response organization.
: 4. Federal Government Responsibility REV 0.0 (Draft) 08/06/10 The responsibilities of the Federal government are: (1) The Federal Emergency Management Agency has the lead responsibility for offsite nuclear emergency planning and response.
This agency is charged with establishing policy for and coordinating civil emergency planning and assistance functions for Federal agencies.
1-11 WCREP REV 0.0 (Draft) 08/06/10 (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Volume 1 Section I: Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is the lead federal agency (LF A) in response to an event at a nuclear power plant, and is responsible for verifying that appropriate emergency plans have been implemented and for conducting investigative activities associated with a radiological emergency.
The U.S. Department of Energy provides radiological assistance to the LF A and state, and is responsible for providing emergency operations to assist State and local governments in protecting the health and safety of individuals, the public, and the environment in the event of a radiological incident.
This is accomplished by means of the Radiological Assistance Plan (RAP), which provides for the use of all available Federal capabilities.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets standards for exposure and for certain recovery criteria (see Appendix I, 2.d and e). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for restricting air-space and regulating air traffic. In the event of an emergency at IPEC, FAA may be requested to modify usual air traffic patterns and restrictions to ensure safety and security related to air traffic. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is responsible for regulating the navigable waters of the United States. This includes the Hudson River along the borders of Westchester County. They will be responsible for restricting marine traffic on the river and for notifying boaters of emergency conditions.

In addition to the operations stated above, the successful implementation of the plan will depend on the efficient and effective coordination of the plan with the REPs of other emergency response organizations.
Specifically, the plan will have to be closely coordinated with the REPs of Orange, Putnam and Rockland Counties, the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan and the Nuclear Facility Operator Site Emergency Plans. In the case of a multi-county response, inter-county actions will be coordinated through the New York State Emergency Management Office, Region II. (Refer to the Indian Point site-specific section of the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan). In those instances where a County does not have the capability to implement aJl or part of its Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan or the Chief Executive Officer of a County does not elect to put such a plan into effect, the Governor shall declare a State of Emergency for that County and direct State agencies to implement those parts of the plan that may be appropriate and necessary under the direction of the Disaster Preparedness Commission.
State and local resources and personnel shall be utilized in carrying out these measures.
The Disaster Preparedness Commission assigns a representative to the County EOC to act at its direction in assigning REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 III-2 WCREP Volume 1 Section III: Response missions and tasks, directing courses to control the situation, informing the public and acting in conjunction with other affected counties.
These activities shall be carried out in accordance with the County's plan. B. RESPONSE ACTIVITIES CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS Effective implementation of the plan requires a clear understanding of the responsibilities of the people and/or organizations involved.

Direction The County Executive of Westchester County has the statutory authority for executing the County Radiological Emergency Plan. The County Executive may delegate to the Deputy County Executive or Commissioner of Emergency Services the authority to act on hislher behalf in carrying out these responsibilities.
Figure 111-I illustrates the relationship between the various members of the County Emergency Response Organization.
The County uses NIMSIICS as an emergency management tool to facilitate effective direction of response activities.
In the City ofPeekskiIl, the Commissioner of Public Safety/City Manager (or hislher designee) acts as the Emergency Management Director.
It is the responsibility of the Commissioner to implement the City of Peekskill's Disaster Response Plan. Other towns within the County Emergency Planning Zone may activate Emergency Operations Centers. Coordination with these local jurisdictions will be facilitated through county OEM and other county EOC staff assigned such responsibilities.
: 2. Control a. Westchester County Emergency Operations Center REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 For radiological emergencies at the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC), Westchester County will use its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located in the Hudson Valley Transportation Management Center, 200 Bradhurst Avenue, Hawthorne, New York. The backup EOC is located in the Michaelian Office Building in White Plains, N.Y. Once the EOC is activated, provisions will be instituted to insure 24-hour operation, if necessary.
Each county agency head will establish 24-hour (l2-hour shift) duty assignments.
Commissioners or other agency heads will immediately initiate their respective telephone call down procedures and then report to the EOC on notification of an emergency classification of Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency.
1II-14 WCREP Volume I Section III: Response Entergy will provide space in their Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) for the County Nuclear Facility Liaison Officer (CNFLO). Entergy has established and will maintain a communications link between the EOF and the County Emergency Operations Center for use by the CNFLO to exchange information with the County Commissioner of Health. While in the EOF, the CNFLO will also be able to communicate with the representatives of the New York State Department of Health, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Orange, Rockland and Putnam Counties.
A description of the EOF is given in Section 7.1 of the IPEC Site Emergency Plans. The EOF will have a considerable amount oftechnical information available for use by the Westchester Liaison, which includes detailed Westchester County maps showing road networks and population distributions, calculated dose overlays for different radiological releases and meteorological conditions and relayed data on the prevailing radiological release rates and onsite meteorological conditions at the IPEC. The data will be analyzed at the EOF/AEOF and recommendations of protective actions will be transmitted to each County and State EOC. b. Westchester County Emergency Communications Network REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 The Westchester County emergency communications network and facilities are described in Appendix E. The NFO emergency communication network and facilities are described in Section 7.2 of the IPEC Site Emergency Plan. The CNFLO will have access to the communications facilities within the EOF. Also, the NFO will provide and maintain a communications link to the EOC for use by the CNFLO. Both the Westchester County and the NFO emergency*
communications networks incorporate advance design concepts, such as emergency power sources, dedicated communications links between key points, alternate communication pathways and prearranged security procedures.
Because of the importance and sensitivity ofthe emergency communications networks, the technical details of these design concepts are classified on a know basis. The New York State Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) interconnects Warning Points operated on a 24-hour basis, the State and the four counties surrounding the Indian Point Energy Center. This provides a reliable and compatible emergency communications system (Appendix E). There is also the SEMO Southern District Local Government Net, installed as a backup radio system between the NFO, the County EOCs and County Warning Points. The system uses the local III-I 5 WCREP Volume 1 Section Ill: Response government radio sets. Communications between contiguous states and counties in the 50-mile ingestion exposure pathway is a New York State responsibility and will be accomplished by the State Warning Point. The New York StatelFour-County Radiological Emergency Executive "hotline" is a line with stations in the Emergency Operations Centers of Rockland, Orange, Putnam and Westchester Counties and the State of New York, as well as the Indian Point Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and Alternate Emergency Operations Facility (AEOF), for inter-county coordination of protective actions. Communications with field radiological monitoring teams may be accomplished by four different means: Primary Portable mobile radio with each team. Secondary Team may be accompanied by a RACES operator with mobile radio Backup Transport of the team by police vehicle with police mobile radio. The Emergency Medical communications system provides radio link between ambulances (EMS and fire), hospitals and the County EOC. This system includes fixed and mobile radio stations and operates on a 24-hour basis. c. Release of Public Information REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 To insure the controlled and coordinated release of information to the public, the County Public Information Officer (PIO) is designated as the official Westchester County source for all releases of information to the news media. All other Westchester County emergency response personnel will forward all requests for information from the news media to the PIO. The PIO, under the direction of the County Executive (CE), Director of Communications (OCE) and the Commissioner of Emergency Services will arrange for any public announcements to be made over local radio and/or TV stations via the Emergency Alert System (EAS). (Reference the Indian Point Joint Information Center Procedures, bound under separate cover.) County, State and NFO Public Information Officers shall consult with one another prior to issuing information to the public to insure that factual and consistent information will be available for reporting to the public in a timely manner at both State and local levels. Specific requests for information accrued by local jurisdiction regarding public health and safety items not covered in the joint State-local liaison will be referred to the State PIO. III-I 6 WCREP Volume 1 Section III: Response d. Public Inquiry The Westchester County PIO will participate in the Public Inquiry system designed for any emergency at Indian Point. The Public Inquiry program has two components.
The primary component provides for the monitoring of broadcast and print media for news accuracy.
The second component deals with response to questions, misinformation or rumors circulating through the public. A Public Inquiry team, staffed by County personnel will carry out the Public Inquiry function.
The public inquiry call center will be established at the Alternate EOC in White Plains. Westchester County will rely upon Entergy to monitor the media and identify rumors or misinformation.
: 3. State Direction and Control The Governor of the State of New York may, at the request of the County Executive or upon hislher own initiative, declare that a state of emergency exists in the county; upon which declaration, responsibility
'for direction and control of the emergency shall pass from the county government to the State government in accordance with Article 2-b of the Executive Law of the State of New York. It is understood that the county government generally, and the county emergency organization specifically, shall remain in place and continue to perform their normal and emergency functions albeit under State direction and control. (See Figure III-2.) D. EMERGENCY PERSONNEL RADIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE CONTROL Emergency Personnel Radiological Exposure Control is necessary to monitor and minimize the radiological exposure of County emergency response personnel.
This includes individuals engaged in accident assessment, the rescue of endangered or injured personnel, lifesaving activities, the evacuation of affected populations and protection or prevention of property damage or loss. If a radiological emergency occurs at the Indian Point Energy Center, emergency operations may be necessary to protect the health and safety of the public and reduce the escalation of the radiological problem. It is possible that involved emergency response personnel may be exposed to radiation and become contaminated performing their duties. All possible measures will be taken to limit the radiation exposure of emergency workers to those values and conditions as described below except when specific lifesaving actions or extraordinary emergency operations are required.

EPA 400 also states that any female emergency worker who is "declared pregnant" (Le., self-declared in writing) shall be limited to 500 mREM TEDE for the duration of her pregnancy.
E. ACTIVATION AND MOBILIZATION Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations (NUREG-061
: 0) have established four classes of Emergency Classification Levels for nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plant licensees are required to provide for the prompt notification oflocal and state authorities whenever an initiating condition for any of the four Emergency Classification Levels exists. These definitions have been updated in the Westchester County REP effective 2009 to incorporate NRC recommended language related to security events. These revisions are based on the challenge posed by terrorist events rather than current plant status. Nuclear accident progression considers the unlikely occurrence of mUltiple failures and the defense-in-depth provided by plant design. The ECL definitions incorporate the intentional harm and destruction of a hostile action that could lead to a radiological release. The four classes of Emergency Classification Levels by increasing severity are: Notification of Unusual Event (NUE) REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 III-19 WCREP Volume 1 Section III: Response Unusual events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety ofthe plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring off site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occur. Alert Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of intentional malicious dedicated efforts of a hostile act. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. Site Area Emergency (SAE) Events are in process or have occurred, which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or security events that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) prevents effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
General Emergency (GE) Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or security events that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.
Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. The rationale for the Notification of Unusual Event and Alert classes is to provide early and prompt notification of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences given operator error or equipment failure or which might be indicative of more serious conditions which are not yet fully realized.
A graduation is provided to assure more complete response preparations for more serious indicators.
The Site Area Emergency class reflects conditions where some significant releases are likely or are occurring, but where a core-melt situation is not indicated based on current information.
The General Emergency class involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment.
In these situations, full mobilization of emergency personnel in the near-site environs is indicated as well as the dispatch of monitoring teams and associated communications.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 III-20 WCREP Volume 1 Section III: Response The plan initiation scheme presented in the following sections describes applicable notification, activation and verification phases that could result from any of the four (4) classes of ECLs. 1. Notification
: a. Nuclear Facility Operators' Notification Plan The NFO notification plan is initiated when the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) Emergency Director determines that an initiating condition exists for any of the four Emergency Classification Levels. Upon this determination, the NFO Emergency Director shall notify the County Warning Point By activating the New York State Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) (Appendix E). b. County Notification Plan Immediately following receipt of an IPEC emergency warning, the County Warning Point (DES 60 Control) will call the agencies and persons indicated in the implementation procedures.
The county's automated digital Emergency Notification System (ENS) will be used to make some of these contacts.
The calls will include pertinent information received from the IPEC. The person receiving the call is responsible for making additional calls as indicated in the agency procedures.
The county Warning Point is operated on a 24-hour basis. Calls from the Communication Center may be supplemented by using law enforcement personnel to personally notify agencies and persons when initial calls cannot be completed.
The County Commissioner/Sheriff will direct the notification of local municipal officials (town, city, village) through their respective chiefs of police. 2. Activation Westchester County Emergency Operations Center is organized along NIMS/lCS lines and adheres to incident command principles.
During the activation phase of the radiological emergency plan, the following key County emergency response personnel will proceed to their primary duty station: either the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the Nuclear Facility Operator's Emergency Operations Facility (NFOIEOF) or the Joint Information Center. This activation may occur at an Alert or higher classification.

: 4. Preliminary Public Information Release The County Commissioner of Emergency Services will coordinate with the Director of Communications and EOC Public Information Officer, to initiate the appropriate public notification procedures to inform the general public of the existence and nature of the emergency.
This initial notification of the public will be coordinated with public information personnel in the other involved jurisdictions through the Joint Information Center and existing joint information system. It will be followed by periodic information updates, as discussed in Section C, D.2.c and the Indian Point Joint Information Center Procedures.
Contact with radio station for Emergency Alert System messages is via telephone.
The County PIO will also notify the State PIO, who in tum will notify the FEMA PIO of actions taken. F. ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION OF PROTECTIVE ACTION RESPONSE OPTIONS 1. Assessment The County Commissioner of Health (CCH) has three (3) primary resources to use during the assessment phase of the County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. In assessing the impact that potential radiological release incidents at the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) can have on the general public of Westchester County, the CCH will have previously-developed accident analysis data and information, relayed data on the prevailing radiological release rates and onsite meteorological conditions at the IPEC and nuclear safety specialists from the County and State Health Departments, the NFO, the NRC and the U.S. Department of Energy as described in Appendix J, who will provide both diagnostic and prognostic assessments.
: a. Previously-Developed Data REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 The CCH will have available evacuation timetables for different areas of the County. As referenced in Appendix A, evacuation timetables are available for various contingencies such as adverse weather conditions or the loss of a primary evacuation route. III-25 WCREP Volume 1 Section III: Response b. Relayed Meteorological and Radiological Data Relayed data from the meteorological monitors at and around IPEC will be available to the COUNTY. This information, when integrated with data from the National Weather Service, can be used to determine the actual and projected meteorological conditions for the County. The COUNTY will also have available relayed data from numerous fixed radiation monitors at and around IPEC and mobile radiation monitoring teams which will be deployed by the NFO to the NFLO, who will in tum provide the data in hard copy to the EOC and by the U.S. Department of Energy through the RAP and FRMAP programs as described in Appendix J. c. Incident Diagnosis and Prognosis REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 The COUNTY will be coordinate assessment of the incident with nuclear safety specialists from the State Health Department, the Nuclear Facility Operator, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy who will be providing an on-going diagnosis and prognosis of the incident.
This assessment will identify events that have occurred or are in progress that might result in major failures of plant functions that normally protect the general public. The NFO will provide information on estimates of time required to repair the release projections and the corrective actions being taken. The COUNTY has established procedures for dose assessment.
These procedures are on file in the Does Assessment Room within the County EOC. Dose Assessment calculations are performed by a staff made up of professional engineers and other technical staff assigned to the Westchester County Health Department.
In accordance with instructions from the Dose Assessment Coordinator, the Field Monitoring Team Coordinator directs the Field Monitoring Team to location points. (See also Field Monitoring Procedures Manual, bound under separate cover.) After completed, calculations are reported to a Dose Assessment Coordinator.
After verification by the Coordinator the assessment information is reported to the County Health Commissioner and the County Commissioner of Emergency Services and after evaluation to the County Executive.
The County Executive will discuss the assessment data with State officials, officials of other counties over the dedicated "Executive Hotline" and if necessary with licensee officials.
Once coordination is completed, decisions will be made on what protective actions will be taken. III-26 WCREP Volume 1 Section Ill: Response The assessment teams' leader will be designated the Dose Assessment Coordinator (DAC). The DAC will report to the Commissioner of Health and will keep in contact with the New York State EOC. The DAC will follow the instructions that are on file at the Assessment Room ofthe County EOC. These instructions include: (1) Receiving meteorological reports. (2) Calculating formulas -worksheets for distances of 1, 2, 5 and 10 miles. (3) Calculating Projected Centerline Doses. (4) Calculating Release Rates, if necessary.
(5) Identifying Potential or Actual Source Term 1 (6) Taking Plant Parameter readings.
(7) Activating, directing and receiving information from Field Monitoring Teams. (8) Means of communicating with State and Licensee Dose Assessment personnel.
: 2. Evaluation
: a. Input Parameters and Boundary Conditions The evaluation phase of the Westchester County Radiological Emergency Plan determines the protective action response options that should be implemented in order to successfully execute the primary mission of the Plan. To accomplish this goal, the plan has incorporated the Protective Action Guidelines (PAGs) developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for determining appropriate responses during radiological emergencies.
The EPA PAGs are presented in Table III-2. In evaluating which of the protective action response options to implement, the Commissioner of Emergency Services and CCH will integrate the following input data and boundary conditions to establish a basis for the decision-making process: The County Dose Assessment Group uses the source term and release rates provided by the NFO which is then confirmed with the State. The County follows the dose assessment methodology provided by the Nuclear Facility Operator.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 III-27 WCREP Volume 1 Section III: Response (1) EPA PAGs Current road and meteorological conditions received from the County and local law enforcement agencies, State and County Department of Transportation, County and local Highway Departments, the New York Division of State Police, the Nuclear Facility Operator and the National Weather Service. (3) Time requirements for the implementation of the protective action response options. (4) Plant status including incident diagnosis and prognosis received from the Nuclear Facility Operator, the State Department of Health, the County Department of Health, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy. b. Critical Time Frames REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 Once the input parameters and boundary conditions have been established, the OEM and CCH will proceed to identify the critical time frames necessary to successfully complete the mission of the plan for a particular incident.
Specifically, the critical time frames to be identified for a particular incident are the implementation time frames for the various protective action response options and the time frame for the safe termination of the incident.
The implementation time frame for a particular protective action response option has two components:
notification time and execution time. "Notification Time" refers to the time required to notify the risk and to deploy whatever emergency response personnel and equipment is necessitated by the particular protective action response option. "Execution Time" refers to the time after notification that is required for the completion of the particular protective action response option. When the notification time requirements for different County areas have been established, the critical time frame for the General Evacuation Response Option will have been identified.
1II-28 WCREP Volume 1 Section III: Response c. Projected Doses After the decision bases and critical time frames have been established, the County Health Department will determine the projected doses for a particular area by extrapolating projected dose rates (CDE-thyroid and TEDE) over the critical time frames for the various protective action response options and for the estimated duration of the incident.
These values, when added to any doses already received in the area since the beginning of the incident, represent the projected doses for the particular county area within the time frames of interest.
The projected doses approaching the P AG levels are an indication of the increasing desirability of implementing one or more of the plan protective action response options. Besides utilizing data from radiological monitors to determine projected doses, the COUNTY will also utilize the results of the diagnostic and prognostic assessments of the incident discussed in Section C. 7 .a.(3). Unless otherwise directed, dose projections will be for a 4-hour period. d. Decision Process Based upon the information from previous paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) above, the County Executive can make a decision as to the protective action response option to be implemented.
This decision may be coordinated with the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health, the Chairman of the Disaster Preparedness Commission, the Nuclear Facility Operator and with the Chief Executives of Orange, Rockland and Putnam Counties.
An example of one potential implementation sequence for the protective action response options is presented in Table III-3. As discussed in Section C.7.a.(3), the projected doses shown in Table III-3 can be based either on radiological monitoring data or on results from the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of the incident.
G. PROTECTIVE ACTION RESPONSE OPTIONS In this section, the following protective action response options are described:
: 1. Initial Precautionary Operations
: 2. Selective Sheltering-in-place
: 3. General Sheltering-in-place
: 4. General Evacuation
: 5. Immediate General Emergency
: 6. Administration of KI to Emergency Workers and the Public 7. Isolation of Ingestion Pathways and Sources 8. Re-Entry REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 III-29 WCREP Volume 1 Section III: Response The protective action response options provide the County Executive (CE) with the capability to successfully execute the primary mission of the plan. These protective action response options are complementary and functionally additive.
This allows the County Executive to implement more than one ofthe protective action response options at the same time for a particular radiological release incident.
In addition, the County Executive can implement the protective action response options for the specific population-at-risk.
: 1. Initial Precautionary Operations The implementation and execution of the initial precautionary operations will be in accordance with the procedures and may include the following:
: a. The temporary closing of tourist areas such as parks and campgrounds in those Westchester County areas within approximately ten miles of the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC). b. The temporary closing of all elementary and secondary schools in Westchester County within approximately ten miles of IPEC. c. The recommending of temporary suspension of non-critical patient admissions to FDR Veterans Administration Hospital and the Hudson Valley Hospital Center at Peekskill/
Cortlandt.
Agreements presently exist to facilitate such an inter-hospital transfer of patients.
: f. Activation of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to achieve a heightened awareness of a radiological emergency at Indian Point and to recommend public attention to future EAS or news broadcasts.
: 2. Selective Shelter-in-place The Selective Shelter-in-place Response Option gives the County Executive the capability of implementing effective protective action for individuals who could not be safely evacuated if a Selective or General Evacuation was necessary.
This would include individuals who have been designated medically unable to withstand the physical and/or psychological stress of an evacuation as well as those individuals who require constant, sophisticated medical attention.
The primary locations for implementing the Selective Shelter-in-place Response Option include FDR Veterans Administration Hospital in Montrose, the Hudson Valley Hospital Center of Peekskill!
Cortlandt and the Sing Sing Correctional Facility.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 III-30 WCREP Volume 1 Section III: Response 3. General Sheltering-in-place The General Shelter-in-place Response Option gives the County Executive the capability to implement an effective protective action for the general public in the event of a puff-type radiological release incident at IPEC. In addition, for those situations requiring evacuation and where evacuation cannot be implemented because of time constraints and/or impediments to highway movement, General Shelter-in-place may be implemented in lieu of evacuation. (A puff-type radiological release is defined as a concentrated release of radio nuclides of short, limited duration.)
For an incident of this type, the most effective protective response action is immediate, temporary shelter-in-place for the general public in the affected areas. The viability of this response option is extremely dependent on existing meteorological conditions at the time ofthe incident.
The implementation and execution of the General Shelter-in-place Response Option will include notifying the general public of Westchester County in the affected areas around IPEC to remain indoors and close their windows, etc. (See Appendix D for information.)
The public will also be advised to monitor future EAS and news broadcasts for possible protective action recommendations.
The decision to initiate this option will be made by the County Executive.
The Director of Communications (OCE) and 1 or the Lead PIO, will coordinate the notification of the general public. 4. General Evacuation The General Evacuation Response Option provides the CE with the capability to efficiently evacuate the general public from any or all areas within the 10-mile EPZ. The evacuation time estimate study for Westchester County's portion of the ten mile EPZ is summarized in Appendix A and a complete copy is on file in the EOC. The evacuation study details the evacuation routes, traffic control points, traffic capacities and the total evacuation time requirements for evacuating different areas of the county. These evacuation times represent the estimated time required to evacuate a particular area after the general public has been notified that an evacuation is necessary.
Alternate routes will be selected and announced via EAS in the event of loss of primary routelroutes during adverse weather conditions.
Various evacuation scenarios have been developed and are detailed in Appendix A. These include: REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10
* Summer, midday, midweek
* Summer, midday, weekend
* Summer, evening, midweek/weekend
* Winter, midday, midweek
* Winter, midday, weekend
* Winter, evening, midweek/weekend 111-31 WCREP Volume 1 Section Ill: Response Each of the above scenarios is developed for both good weather and rain and also for snow in winter scenarios.
Additionally, two special events are studied:
* Autumn, midday weekend, West Point Football
* Spring, midday, midweek, West Point Graduation The implementation and execution of the General Evacuation Response Option of the plan will include the following:
: a. The notification of all members of the general public in the areas to be evacuated of the situation and the officially recommended course of action. (See Appendix F.) This notification will include information on when and how far to evacuate, what evacuation routes to use, reception centers and how to notifY authorities if any relocation assistance is needed. This operation will be directed by the CE and assisted by the other County emergency response organizations.
: b. The establishment of traffic control points at key intersections along the evacuation routes. The final traffic control point will be located beyond the boundary of the 10-mile EPZ. This operation will be coordinated by the County Commissioner/Sheriff of Public Safety (CCPS) assisted by the Westchester County local law enforcement agencies and the New York State Police. c. The evacuation of non-mobile residents and hard-to-move (medical) residents who are without access to other transportation.
This operation will be coordinated by the Hospitals representative in the EOC assisted by the County Department of Transportation (DOT), the County Office for the Disabled and County Emergency Medical Services.
: d. The monitoring of the evacuation routes and the facilitating of the evacuation traffic flow. This operation will be coordinated by the Department of Public Safety (DPS) assisted by the county and local police, and the New York State Police. e. The establishment of incoming traffic control points and security patrols for evacuated areas. This operation will be coordinated by the DPS assisted by the Westchester County local law enforcement agencies and the New York State Police. f. Any or all patients from special facilities for whom evacuation would have a minimal medical risk will also be evacuated.
This operation will be directed by the Hospitals representative in the EOC and other appropriate County officials in conjunction with the special facilities' administrators.
The Commissioner of Emergency Services will coordinate whatever assistance is requested by the Hospital's representative in the EOC. REV 0.0 (DRAFT) III-32 08/06110 WCREP Volume 1 Section III: Response 5. Immediate General Emergency By mutual agreement, Orange, Putnam, Westchester, and Rockland Counties, and New York State have agreed to issue an initial default protective action decision to shelter in place five miles around, until the four County Executives can consult with health authorities and coordinate an evacuation decision.
: 6. Administration ofKI to Emergency Workers and the Public Appendix C of this plan details the county plans and procedures for administration of KI to emergency workers and the public. The county Commissioner of Health is responsible for determining when to take this action. Upon Dec laration of a General Emergency at IPEC by the licensee, the Commissioner of Health will order the administration ofKI to emergency workers and those members of the general public in the impacted (or potentially impacted) area. 7. Isolation of Ingestion Pathways and Sources The State of New York, through the Commissioner of Health with assistance from designated agencies is responsible for the implementation and execution of the isolation of the Ingestion Pathways and Sources Response Option contained in the State of New York Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. The Isolation of Ingestion Pathways and Sources Response Option gives NY State and Westchester County the capability of implementing effective protective actions to ensure that the potential for individuals to receive radiological doses in excess of recommended limits through the various ingestion pathways is minimized.
This would involve control of radioactively-contaminated drinking water and foodstuffs.
The implementation and execution of the isolation of the Ingestion Pathways and Sources Response Option will conform to the Isolation of Ingestion Pathways Guidelines contained in the State of New York Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan and will include the following:
: a. Upon receipt of radiation monitoring results which indicate contamination of a drinking water supply or foodstuffs (ingestion of which could exceed recommended limits), the Commissioner of Health shall immediately quarantine such foodstuffs and ban the drinking of water as an initial precaution.
: b. Based upon additional examination, if isotopic concentrations exceed those specified in Tables 111-4 and III-5, the County Commissioner of Health (CCH) shall coordinate the appropriate actions to be taken with the New York State Department of Health, as indicated in these tables. REV 0.0 (DRAFT) III-33 08/06110 WCREP Volume] Section Ill: Response c. OEM with the CDPW shall coordinate arrangements necessary for the distribution of uncontaminated supplies of drinking water and food, as necessary.
: 8. Re-Entry Authorization for any re-entry of members of the general public into previously evacuated areas shall originate with the Commissioner of Health and the County Executive.

b Yhe sum of the effective dose equivalent resulting from exposure to external sources and the committed effective dose equivalent incurred from all significant inhalation pathways during the early phase. Committed dose equivalents to the thyroid and to the skin may be 5 and 50 times larger, respectively.
Although the PAG is expressed as a range of 1-5 rem, it is emphasized that, under normal conditions, evacuation of members ofthe general popUlation should be initiated for most incidents at a projected dose of 1 rem. (It should be recognized that doses to some individuals may exceed 1 rem, even if protective actions are initiated within this guidance.)
It is also possible that conditions may exist at specific facilities that warrant consideration of values other than those recommended for general use here. SheIter-in-place may be preferable to evacuation as a protective action in some situations.
Because of the higher risk associated with evacuation of some special groups in the population (e.g. those who are not readily mobile), shelter-in-place may be the preferred alternative for such groups as a protective action at projected doses up to 5 rem. In addition, under unusually hazardous environmental conditions use of shelter-in-place at projected doses up to 5 rem to the general population (and up to 10 rem to special groups) may become justified.
Shelter-in-place may also provide protection equal to or greater than evacuation due to the nature of the source term and/or in the presence of other site-specific conditions.
Illustrative examples of situations or groups for which evacuation may not be appropriate at 1 rem include: a) the presence of severe weather, b) competing disasters, c) institutionalized persons who are not readily mobile, and d) local physical factors which impede evacuation.

Intentionally left blank WESTCHESTER COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY SERVICES RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN VOLUME 1 CORE PLAN AND APPENDICES SECTION IV RELOCATION, RE-ENTRY, RETURN and RECOVERY Revision 0.0 DRAFT 08/06/10 Intentionally left blank WCREP Volume 1 Section IV: Relocation, Re-Entry, Return and Recovery SECTION IV: RELOCATION, RE-ENTRY, RETURN AND RECOVERY A. MISSION The mission of this section is to describe the details of those short term recovery/re-entry and long term operations which are unique to radiological emergencies and to provide the County Executive with the capability of implementing the safe re-entry to places of residence and/or employment for the members of the general public who have been relocated under one of the protective action response options described in Volume I, Section lILG. The recovery phase is the final stage of the Radiological Emergency Plan. Operationally, recovery begins during the response phase and continues until restoration of community life has been completed.
Recovery operations for radiological emergencies consist of the following two operational parts: 1. Short Term Re-Entry Operations Re-entry from a radiological emergency shall commence only after all emergency initiating conditions have been neutralized and the threat to public health and safety from a release of radiation no longer exists. The following shall be confirmed before initiating re-entry operations:
: a. Safe shutdown of the nuclear facility.
: b. Radiological materials under controlled confinement.
: c. Initiating physical phenomenon has been stabilized.
: 2. Intermediate and Late Phase Operations Aside from long term radiation and medical monitoring programs, intermediate and late phase recovery operations are generic to all emergencies.
For additional details and guidelines for the implementation of long-term recovery operations, refer to the New York State Disaster Preparedness and Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plans. Intermediate and late phase operations as discussed here consist of four operational parts: a. REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 Relocation of those portions of the general public that reside in areas that have been determined to have contamination levels in excess of the relocation Protective Action Guide (PAG); IV-2 WCREP Volume 1 Section IV: Relocation, Re-Entry, Return and Recovery b. Re-entry into contaminated areas for the retrieval of valuables or to conduct activities deemed necessary to support the recovery effort; c. Return of the general public to areas that had previously been evacuated but that have subsequently been determined to have contamination levels below the relocation PAG; and d. Recovery of contaminated areas for unconditional occupancy and/or use. Additional details of these operations are found in Attachment 1 of this section and in the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. B. RECOVERY/RE-ENTRY OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Recovery/re-entry operations will conform with the guidelines contained in the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan and should include the following:
: 1. Determination that a threat to public health as a consequence of a release of radiation no longer exists. 2. Completion of decontamination activities, including waste disposal with assistance from County Fire Departments and from the U. S. Department of Energy. 3. Completion of radiation surveys by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) which indicate that contamination levels in an evacuated area are within acceptable contamination action limits as established by the NY State Commissioner of Health. The County Department of Health (DOH) may assist the State in radiation surveys. In areas which have been contaminated, the NYSDOH and the CDOH may direct that re-entry be allowed to all but special cordoned-off areas. 4. Assessment and mitigation of the effects of an evacuation on public health and sanitation within the evacuated areas. 5. Notification to incoming traffic control check points of the areas for which entry is authorized and the realignment of the traffic control perimeter.
: 6. In conjunction with the State of New York, the Federal government and the Nuclear Facility Operator, the preparation and issuance of announcements to the communications media (e.g., newspapers, radio and television stations) and to Reception/Congregate Care Centers specifying the areas which may be re-entered.
: 7. Continuation of security for evacuated areas, including those for which re-entry has been approved, to prevent unauthorized entry and vandalism.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 IV-3 WCREP Volume} Section W: Relocation, Re-Entry, Return and Recovery 8. Provision of transportation for those individuals who needed it during the evacuation.
: 9. Distribution of drinking water and foodstuffs, if necessary.
for the isolation of ingestion pathways and sources. 10. Establishment of a long term radiation monitoring program for any contaminated County areas. I 1. Establishment of a long term medical monitoring program for both the general public and emergency response personnel of the County. 12. In conjunction with the State of New York and FEMA, establish long-term housing for that segment of the population which has been permanently relocated.
C. RELOCATION Following a release of radioactive material to the environment, it will be necessary to locate and define any areas in which radioactive materials were deposited.
Once those contaminated areas are identified, a determination will have to be made as to whether or not individuals occupying these areas will receive radiation exposures in excess of the relocation PAG. If this is the case, these individuals will need to be relocated.
In accordance with the provisions of the State REP Plan, the following activities will be undertaken:
I. State field teams will collect various samples from the contaminated areas. (State field teams may be augmented by County Health Department field monitoring teams). 2. Samples will be analyzed at the New York Department of Health Laboratory in Albany. 3. Results will be evaluated by the State, charted and compared to the relocation PAG. 4. In coordination with the County, a restricted zone perimeter will be defined. 5. Individuals not previously evacuated from a restricted zone will be monitored, decontaminated (as necessary) and relocated.
: 6. Individuals previously evacuated from a restricted zone will be designed for relocation.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 IV-4 WCREP Volume 1 Section IV: Relocation, Re-Entry, Return and Recovery D. RE-ENTRY 1. Following the delineation of a restricted zone, continuous access control will be maintained.
Access to a restricted zone may be allowed for the following reasons: a. Retrieval of valuables;
: b. Periodic security inspections;
: c. Maintenance of essential services;
: d. Maintenance of property or care of farm animals; e. Decontamination and recovery efforts; or f. Other appropriate circumstances as presented.
: 2. During re-entry activities it will be necessary to ensure that individual radiation exposures are controlled and that the spread of contamination is kept to a minimum. Toward that end the following measures will be instituted:
: a. b. c. d. e. f. REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 Access control points will be established at or near the boundary of the Restricted Zone; Radiation badgeslDosimeters of Legal Record (DLR' s) and direct reading dosimeters may be issued for individuals entering the Restricted Zone; Information regarding the individual's destination, estimated length of stay, and objectives will be recorded; If available, maps will be provided to individuals entering the Restricted Zone along with recommendations of areas to avoid; Measures will be instituted for persons exiting the Restricted Zone to provide for the monitoring and decontamination of individuals, vehicles and equipment as well as procedures for the collection and processing of dosimetry; and Individuals radiation exposures will be maintained in accordance with occupational exposure guidelines. (e.g., exposure levels considered safe for adult males, might not be safe for pregnant women or small children).
IV-5 WCREP Volume 1 Section W: Relocation, Re-Entry, Return and Recovery E. RETURN Individuals who were previously evacuated, who reside in areas outside Restricted Zone, may be permitted to return for unrestricted occupancy.
The following activities may be undertaken to assist the gem: ral public during the return process. These include: 1. In conjunction with the State Disaster Preparedness Commission, and the other three counties, prepare and issue announcements to the public through the media and at reception center (if still open) and congregate care centers, specifYing which areas are designed for return. 2. Provide transportation for transit-dependent individuals.
F. RECOVERY 1. The State will institute recovery efforts for those areas determined to be contaminated in an attempt to recover part of all of that area designated as a restricted zone. In addition, recovery efforts will focus on those areas contaminated at levels below the relocation PAG. If decontamination efforts are successful, the boundary of the Restricted Zone may be tightened allowing the return of additional popUlation.
Recovery efforts will include: a. Scrubbing and/or flushing of hard surfaces;
: b. Soaking and/or plowing of soil; and c. Removal of soil from locations where radioactive materials have concentrated.
: 2. The implementation of long-term recovery operations is the primary responsibility of the State of New York and will conform with the guidelines contained in the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Preparedness Plans. The County will provide support to the State upon request.

IODINE PROPHY LAXIS Revision 0.(1 DRAFT 08/06/10 In tenti anall y left blank WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis APPENDIXC IODINE PROPHYLAXIS A. NEW YORK STATE AND WESTCHESTER COUNTY POLICY The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) endorses the 2001 US. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations on potassium iodide (KI) as outlined in "Guidance on Potassium Iodide as a Thyroid Blocking Agent in Radiation Emergencies," December, 200 I. The State and County Departments of Health maintain that under certain specified conditions of use, KI is a safe and effective means by which to prevent radioactive iodine uptake by the thyroid gland, thereby reducing the risk of thyroid cancer in the event of a radiological emergency.
The recommendation to take KI by emergency workers and the general public will be issued on the authority of the Westchester County Commissioner of Health, or by the New York State (NYS) Commissioner of Health, or by the designee of either, during a radiological emergency where the potential to exceed the new FDA dose limits may be exceeded by the general public. The NYS and Westchester County Departments of Health stress that KI provides protection only for the thyroid from radioactive iodines. It has no impact on the uptake by the body of other radioactive materials and provides no protection against external irradiation of any kind. Both agencies emphasize that the use of KI should be as an adjunct to recommended protective actions such as evacuation, sheltering-in-place, and control of foodstuffs.
The availability of potassium iodide is not an authorization for its use. No person will be considered to have been advised to use it without the approval of the Commissioner of Health or hislher surrogate.
All persons to whom potassium iodide is issued will be provided instructions on the use ofKI. B. PROCUREMENT OF KI SUPPLY F or Emergency Workers: Carter-Wallace Labs of New Jersey and Anbex, Inc. of New York City have been authorized by the FDA to produce KI in tablet form for use during radiological emergencies.
Each tablet is 130-Milligram dosage and packed 14 tablets per container or foil strip. Westchester County maintains KI supplies for emergency workers. The Westchester County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is responsible for, and has distributed KI to, response agencies with backup supplies maintained by OEM. KI is supplied to the County by the New York State Emergency Management Office (SEMO). REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 C-2 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis For the general public, the FDA approved over the counter formulation of KI includes a 130-mg, and 65 mg tablets and liquid KI. During 2005, updated supplies ofKI were received by Westchester from SEMO. Sufficient KI doses exist to provide at least one dose per 10-mile Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) resident, plus KI for members of the business community, transients, school, daycare center and nursery school populations.
Additional KI will be requested from SEMO, as required.
C. KI DOSE New York State will follow the FDA's lower radioactive exposure thresholds for KI prophylaxis as well as the new doses of KI for neonates, infants, and children, lower than those previously recommended in 1982. Westchester County has adopted the New York State Policy on KI, provided at Attachment
: 1. Dose recommendations contained in that document are as follows: Threshold Thyroid Radioactive Exposures and Recommended Doses of KI for Different Risk Groups KI dose # mlliquid #of65 mg # of 130 (mg) (65 mg/ml) tablets mg tablets !Adults over 40 yrs 130 2 2 1 !Adults over 18 through 40 yrs Pregnant or lactating women Adolescents over 12 through 18 yrs 130 2 2 1 who weigh at least 150 pounds Adolescents over 12 through 18 yrs 65 1 1 112 who weigh less than 150 pounds iChildren over 3 through 12 yrs 65 1 1 112 [over 1 month through 3 years 32 112 112 114 )3irth through 1 month 16 114 1/4 118 The County stocks 130 mg tablets, Sixty-Five mg tablets and liquid KI. The FDA has noted that absolute precision in dosing is generally not critical to safety or efficacy, and has emphasized in their guidance document that across popUlations at risk for radioactive iodine exposure, the overall benefits of KI far exceed the risks of overdosing, especially in children.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 C-3 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis D. DISTRIBUTION
: 1. Pre-distribution
: a. The County emergency worker supply of KI is stored at the same locations as the dosimeters.
Each County agency will use their respective dosimeter distribution procedures for the bottles/sleeves of KI. Prior distribution of an adequate supply to captive populations will belhas been accomplished by the County OEM. A back-up emergency worker supply is stored under specifications from the manufacturer by OEM. Potassium iodide should be stored at controlled room temperature between 15 and 30 degrees C (59 -80 degrees F). The container must be tightly closed and protected from light. This backup supply allows for persons that may not usually be classified as an emergency worker (e.g. farmers that may need to care for livestock during an extended release period) to receive KI. Inventory accountability for the supply of KI will be the responsibility of those agencies/personnel to which/whom the KI was distributed.
: b. It is Westchester County's policy to pre-distribute KI to the resident and transient popUlation of the ten mile emergency planning zone to the maximum extent possible.
Four KI distribution days were conducted in Westchester County during June 2002. These events were well publicized and covered by the media. One (1) 130mg tablet was distributed for each member of the household.
The distribution included a fact sheet on the makeup of KI, how it works, directions on when to take it, possible side effects and information on the means to receive KI. The County is considering additional means to ensure most, if not all residents of the EPZ receive KI and instructions on its use, as a preparedness measure. A mass direct mailing effort is one option being considered.
: c. School and day care popUlations:
Westchester County makes KI available to all educational institutions (public, private and parochial; faculty, staff and students).
Licensed daycare centers located within the 10-mile EPZ have received a letter from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) instructing them to contact OEM to obtain their necessary allocation of KI. The State has conducted outreach to the school districts on the KI program and has provided some KI supplies directly to the schools.
In addition, the County OEM is in the process of pro-actively distributing at the school district level. d. Hospitals and Nursing Homes: It is Westchester County policy to pre-distribute KI to all hospitals and nursing homes within the ten-mile emergency planning zone. Sufficient KI for patients and staff have been or will be distributed.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 C-4 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis
: e. KI has also been offered to businesses within the 10-mile EPZ. During 2002, 3,520 KI pills were distributed to businesses.
This is an ongoing process. Note: The state and federal government are responsible for pre-distribution of KI to state and federal facilities.
The State has provided KI to Sing Sing Correctional Facility.
: 2. Post-Accident Distribution If the decision to administer KI is made by the State or County Commissioner of Health, those residents not having KI in their possession must be instructed on where they can obtain the appropriate doses. This information will be disseminated via the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and through other media advisories.
The EAS is used any time there is a need to modify public behavior in response to emergency situations.
However, it cannot be emphasized enough, that taking the primary protective action of sheltering-in-place or evacuation must remain the first priority.
Any effort to distribute KI to the general public during or immediately after an event, must be done in a manner which does not interfere with these primary protective actions. Emergency workers will be notified to take KI through emergency service communications channels.
For post-accident distribution, multiple locations are being stockpiled with KI supplies.
In order to facilitate post-event distribution, KI supplies have been stockpiled at selected emergency service locations, including reception centers. Emergency personnel and county volunteers will man the KI distribution stations at the time of emergency.
KI distribution stations will be located beyond the ten-mile EPZ to ensure that evacuation times are not impacted.
In identifying potential locations for KI distribution, locations where sought that were along major evacuation routes where traffic could be quickly routed off the main roads. Signage (put up only at the time of emergency) and public information materials will direct only those needing KI pills to detour through these designated facilities.
Evacuees will not leave their vehicles, but will be dispensed pills and instruction sheets by personnel manning these locations.
In addition to the KI distribution stations referenced above, the County will also make KI available at reception centers. Reception center distribution will be performed by reception center staff once a member of the public has completed registration.
EAS messages (and/or Press releases) have been drafted to support this process. REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 C-5 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis E. DECISION TO ADMINISTER KI I. To have the greatest effect in decreasing the uptake of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland, these doses of KI should be administered up to four hours before or immediately after exposure.
KI given with radioactive iodine results in a 97% block of the radioactive iodine uptake by the thyroid (Becker and Zanzonico, 1997). Uptake is blocked by 90% if KI is administered 12 hours prior to exposure.
The blocking efficiency of KI is reduced to 85% if taken one hour after exposure, to 50% at 3 hours and 5 to 10% at 6 hours. 2. The use of KI is only indicated in emergencies where the public is likely to be exposed to radioactive iodine. To have the greatest effect in decreasing the uptake of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland, KI should be administered immediately before or after exposure.
In the event of accident at the Indian Point Energy Center, State and County Departments of Health will be assessing and evaluating the situation.
The County Commissioner of Health, in consultation with the State Commissioner of Health and the County Executive will determine if the administration ofKI is warranted.
Advisories to the public will be issued via the Emergency Alert System (EAS). 3. There will be only one trigger level to recommend KI -5 REM to the thyroid. This trigger level applies to the general public, emergency workers and captive populations.
Radioiodine would only be present in the environment in sufficient quantities to exceed 5 REM child thyroid dose (CDE T), if a General Emergency had been declared.
This assumption is based on the fact that radioiodine can only be present in quantities capable of producing 5 REM CDET in the presence of significant core damage and loss of containment, which are criteria that would constitute a General Emergency.
Upon declaration of a General Emergency, members of the public that are directed to take protective action (evacuate or shelter in place) and emergency workers shall also be directed to take KI. F. RECORDKEEPING
: 1. Westchester County will maintain records of all advisories to the general public on the administration of KI. 2. The County Commissioner of Health shall maintain a log of all County emergency workers who ingest KI. 3. Captive populations will use a KI registry form that contains the following information:
name, social security number, facility, and date taken. 4. Upon termination of the event, the County will forward copies of all records (including reports of side effects from KI) to the New York State Department of Health REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 C-6 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Icdine Prophylaxis (NYSDoH), Bureau of Environmental Protection.
Long term follow up activities will be coordinated by the NYSDoH.

==SUMMARY==
Licensee and State members ofthe Potassium Iodide (KI) Task Force (KI Task Force) developed this position paper to detail the decision process by which several recommendations regarding KI distribution will be made. The Task Force agreed that upon declaration of a General Emergency by the licensee, a recommendation to evacuate and take KI would be made simultaneously.
It was also agreed that a single trigger level would be used (projected dose of 5 rem to the child thyroid).
This paper discusses several approaches to determine doses/iodine concentrations and whether one approach was selected over the others due to effectiveness, timeliness, ease of implementation, etc. The following six specific recommendations were agreed upon by the KI Task Force: --1. "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, the following will be directed to ingest KI:
* members of the public that are directed to evacuate
* captive populations within the evacuated area
* members of the public that would otherwise have been evacuated but are directed to shelter-in-place because evacuation is not feasible. " 2. "If evacuation is recommended at an EeL other than a General Emergency, or for any other reason, a direction to ingest KI as described in recommendation No. 1 will not be made. Ingestion of KI will be recommended only upon declaration of a General Emergency. " 3. "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, members of the public that are directed to shelter-in-place in order to reduce dose shall be directed to ingest KI. Members of the public who are directed to monitor the Emergency Alert System will not be directed to ingest KJ." 4. "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, all emergency workers located within the 1 O-mile EPZ will be directed to take KI (one 130-mg tablet every 24 hours). This recommendation will be made at the same time as the recommendation to ingest KI is made to the general " 5. "Members of the public and captive populations who are directed to take Kl shall be directed to ingest KI in the dosage recommended by the US FDA. If a scheme of graded dosing is not possible, one 130-mg tablet per person may be ingested with minimal risk for those over one year of age. Dose to neonates should be limited to 16 mg, if possible." 6. "As part of a pre-distribution effort, each member of the public should be offered a quantity of Kl tablets equivalent to the following:
Maximum ETE (in days-rounded up) x 1 age and/or weight dependent dose/day Alternatively, one bottle ofliquid K.I may be offered per family." REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 C-lI WCREP Volumel Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis The group recognizes that a strong public information campaign and clear messages during the emergency are key to a successful KI implementation program. Some implementation guidance is provided at the end of the document.
: 1. Purpose The purpose of this paper is to document a technical assessment of issues associated with the distribution of Potassium Iodide (KI) to the general public, emergency workers and captive populations, and to provide implementation guidance for:
* Usage
* General Public
* Emergency Workers
* Captive Populations
* Dosage and frequency
* Pre-distribution criteria 2. Regulatory Requirements and Guidance 2.1 Applicable regulations The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) amended emergency planning regulations to require that States consider including the prophylactic use of KI as a protective measure for the general public in the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) in 66 FR 5427 on 19 Jan 2001. (Ref. 1) The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided notice that the Federal Radiological Preparedness Coordinating Committee (FRPCC) revised its 1985 Federal policy regarding KI use in 67 FR 1355 on 10 Jan 2002. (Ref. 2) 2.2 Current guidance The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidance on the use of KI in radiation emergencies in December 2001 (Ref. 3). This document concludes "Short-term administration ofKI at thyroid blocking doses is safe ... " (Ref. 3 IV.A.) and indicates KI dosage is dependent on age and "Predicted Thyroid Exposure" (Ref. 3 IV.B.). This document states that "The recommendation should be interpreted with flexibility as necessary to allow optimally effective and safe dosing ... " Additionally, " ... the overall benefits of KI far exceed the risks of overdosing
... " (Ref. 3 IV.B.). 2.3 New York State Position REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 C-12 WCREP Volume 1 Appeildix C: Iodine Prophylaxis In 2002, New York State, in it: consideration of the subject CFR, chose to incorporate KI as an adjunct to the current ran of protective actions for the public. The New York State Revised KI Policy was is: ued in April 2002. 2.4 Upcoming Guidance This Position Paper will be revis(:d as necessary to accommodate any new Federal guidance and availability of KI in different dosages. 3. Assumptions
* For optimal protection against inhaled radioiodine, KI should be administered before or immediately coincident with passage of the radioactive cloud. Effectiveness drops off rather quickly as time since radioiodine exposure increases.
The effectiveness drops to about 50% ifKI is taken two hours after exposure, and continues to decrease as time after exposure increases. (Ref. 3. V.).
* The recommended daily dose protects the user from radioiodine uptake for approximately 24 hours.
* KI should be taken until the person is J 10 longer exposed to radioiodine.
* Radioiodine would only be present in t le environment in sufficient quantities to exceed 5 rem child thyroid dose (CDET), whid is the minimum dose at which KI is recommended, if a General Emergency (GE) had been de clared at the facility from which the source term originates.
This assumption is based or the fact that radioiodine can only be present in quantities capable of producing 5 rem C lild CDET in the presence of significant core damage and loss of primary containment, which are criteria that constitute a General Emergency.
* There will only be one trigger level to recommend KI: 5 rem to the child thyroid (CDET). This trigger level applies to the general public, emergency workers and captive populations.
: 4. Implementation Analysis This section presents six recommendations as well as the ratiQnaie, benefits and risks associated with each. Recommendations are presented for when to issue a J recommendation, dosage, and criteria for pre-distribution.
These analyses apply to members of the public, emerfency workers and captive populations.
4.1 Task Force Recommendation # ] "Upon declaration of a General Emergen :y, the follOWing will be directed to ingest Kl: REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 C-13 WCREP Volume] Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis
* members of the public that are directed to evacuate
* captive populations within the evacuated area
* members of the public that would otherwise have been evacuated but are directed to shelter-in-place because evacuation is not feasible. " Analysis:
Three methods were investigated to arrive to this recommendation:
* Use of a dose value,
* Use of deterministic methods, and
* Use of emergency classification.
Each analysis is described separately.
4.1.1 Using Dose Value This analysis examines a method that utilizes projected dose to the thyroid as an indication of recommendation ofKI use by the public [specifically, Committed Dose Equivalent to the child thyroid (CDET)]. In accordance with FDA Guidance (Ref. 3), child CDET'::: 5 rem is the indication at which KI use should be recommended.
To date, none of the New York State nuclear power facilities utilize real-time iodine monitoring.
Hence, releases of radioiodine to the environment during an emergency are inferred from either grab samples or back calculated from field data. Both of these methods require several steps that need, at a minimum:
* Allocation and briefing of personnel,
* Assembling equipment and procedures to enter the field to collect and analyze samples,
* Reporting the results to an emergency facility,
* Performing calculations to determine child CDET,
* Relaying dose assessment information to the state/county,
* Decision-making by the state/county, and
* Dissemination of recommendations to the public. These steps are routinely performed during emergency drills, and our experience indicates that it may take anywhere from 30-90 minutes to calculate the child CDE T once a decision has been REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 C-14 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis made to obtain a sample. Additionally, the emergency facilities that implement this analysis may take up to 60 minutes to activate after declaration of an emergency.
Normally, the calculation of the child CDE T takes place after the completion of protective action recommendations (PARs) based on "plant conditions".
The PARs for a General Emergency are to evacuate people within two-miles around and five miles downwind of the site, and advise all remaining ERP As to monitor the Emergency Alert System. Given the above:
* Child CDET would likely be calculated and provided to the County and the State within 105-165 minutes after the declaration of the GE.
* If the County decides that the use of KI is appropriate, given the time the county takes to make the decision and prepare public information messages, this instruction could be provided to the public in 150-210 minutes after the declaration of the GE. 4.1.2 Use of Deterministic Methods In this case, methods that determine child CDE T utilizing parameters such as containment high range monitor status, gross core damage estimate, and/or reactor pressure vessel and containment integrity were considered.
Unfortunately, the data needed to make even rough estimations of these parameters would typically be assessed after the GE-related recommendations.
Hence, the time-delay risks of such a method still apply. Benefits of these methods Administration of KI would occur only in the presence of radioiodine in quantities that meet or exceed the "Predicted thyroid exposure guidance" in Reference
: 3. Risks of these methods
* Administration ofKI would occur (up to 3-4 hours) after the release of radioiodine, decreasing the effectiveness of the prophylaxis by more than 75%.
* Administration ofKI would likely occur after other protective actions (that is evacuation) have already been recommended to the public. It is unknown if the public would comply with instructions to bring KI with them.
* Members of the public may delay evacuation in order to locate their KI.
* If two separate protective actions are issued to the public (for example, an order to evacuate not accompanied by a recommendation to take KI), compliance with the respective recommendations is unknown. It is possible that the public will not differentiate between the protective actions and, when told to evacuate, may take KI as well. The risk is that the REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 C-15 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis public sees these as two separate protective actions, potentially providing confusion and compliance.
4.1.3 Use of Emergency Classification This analysis examines a method that would use the emergency classification level as the indication for KI use. Specifically, the indication for KI use is a declaration of a General Emergency.
* The General Emergency classification is currently used to determine evacuation PARs.
* If KI use was always implemented concurrently with the "plant condition" protective action recommendations, the public would receive the recommendation to take KI at the same time they received the order to evacuate; that is, within an hour of the declaration of the General Emergency.
* By definition, the declaration of a General Emergency presumes that "Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity.
Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area." (Ref. 7).
* The EPA Protective Action Guideline (pAG) is to evacuate populations whose actual or projected exposure level equals or exceeds 5 rem Committed Dose Equivalent to the (adult) thyroid (Ref. 8).
* New York State nuclear power plant licensees calculate CDETto the child thyroid, and provide this number to the counties and state for comparison against the PAG's (Ref. 9).
* Hence, when the licensee recommends evacuation due to a General Emergency declaration, a child 5 rem either exists or is anticipated to exist at the site boundary or beyond. Though there are exceptions to this (such as GE's declared due to security issues or electrical problems) all GE's have the potential to exceed the 5 rem child CDET level. Calculations performed by New York State on a variety of plant conditions postulated to exist during a GE provide confirmation of this (Ref. 6).
* Given the above, it can be reasonably assumed that the radiological conditions present within the context of a General Emergency will result in meeting or exceeding the child 5 rem, which is also the thyroid exposure at which the FDA recommends the use of prophylactic KI. Benefits of this method
* The recommendation to take KI could be issued earlier than the other indication methods, concurrently with the recommendation to evacuate or shelter-in-place.
This would likely REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 C-I6 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis occur prior to the presence of radioiodine in the environment, thus providing maximum loading dose of stable iodine to the thyroid.
* Compliance with taking KI is more likely since all protective actions are being implemented at once. Also, people would be more likely to have access to pre-distributed KI. Risks to this method
* KI could be ingested without significant radioiodine ever being present in the environment.
F or example, the accident may not result in a release of radioiodine to the environment.
Hence the public incurs the risk of taking KI without benefit. Risk Analysis
* The risk of taking KI is minor (Ref. 10).
* A GE condition carries a risk of radioiodine release to the public.
* KI should be taken as soon as possible once the risk of radioiodine exposure is present.
* Using projected child CDE T as the basis for a recommendation to take KI could significantly delay KI administration.
* Providing the public with a recommendation to take KI concurrent with an order for evacuation or sheltering-in-place provides the earliest and most effective thyroid protection with the greatest likelihood of compliance.
4.4 Task Force Recommendation
# 2 "If evacuation is recommended at an ECL other than a General Emergency, or for any other reason, a direction to ingest Kl as described in recommendation No.1 will not be made. Ingestion of Kl will be recommended only upon declaration of a General Emergency. " Analysis
* The recommendation to take KI should be given to any persons likely to be exposed to radioiodine in quantities that may exceed the "Predicted thyroid exposure guidance" presented in Reference
: 3.
* This analysis suggests that persons who are ordered to evacuate due to plant conditions or due to subsequently determined projected dose may exceed the predicted thyroid dose, and should take KI.
* For the population that has been told to evacuate for any reason other than the declaration of a General Emergency the risk of radioiodine exposure is low.
* Populations who took, or were recommended to take KI coincident with the recommendation to evacuate at an emergency classification level (ECL) other than a General Emergency, or REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 C-17 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis for any other reason, are at risk of depleting their pre-distributed KI supply, making it unavailable in the event of radioiodine exposure.
4.5 Task Force Recommendation
#3 "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, members of the public that are directed to shelter-in-place in order to reduce dose shall be directed to ingest KI. Members of the public who are directed to monitor the Emergency Alert System will not be directed to ingest KI. " Analysis
* Upon declaration of a General Emergency, the licensee will automatically recommend evacuation for the area two miles around and five miles downwind from the plant.
* In cases where a General Emergency is the first ECL declared ("fast-breaker"), resources and facilities would not be in place to allow for orderly evacuation.
It is therefore likely that the population will not be directed to evacuate, but will be directed to shelter-in-place (in order to reduce dose).
* If it has been determined that an impediment to evacuation exits (i.e., lack of transportation resources, inclement weather, or road impediment) then the county or state may decide to shelter-in-place for the purpose of reducing dose rather than evacuate.
* Given the analysis in section 4.1.3, it can be reasonably assumed that the radiological conditions present within the context of a General Emergency will result in meeting or exceeding the child CDET2 5 rem, which is also the thyroid exposure at which the FDA recommends the use of prophylactic KI.
* For the population that has not been evacuated and has been told to monitor the Emergency Alert System in order to maintain a heightened state of awareness, the risk of radioiodine exposure is low. The reasons for this are:
* Due to the distance from the reactor, this popUlation is at significantly less risk from radiation exposure from all sources, versus persons closer to the reactor.
* Monitoring the Emergency Alert System in order to maintain a heightened state of awareness is used for projected doses of < 1 rem TEDE or < 5 rem CDET. Hence this population is not at risk of significant exposures to radioiodine.
* Populations that have not been evacuated, who took, or were recommended to take KI coincident with the direction to monitor the Emergency Alert System are at risk of depleting their pre-distributed KI supply, making it unavailable in the event of radioiodine exposure.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 C-18 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis 4.6 Task Force Recommendation # 4 "Upon declaration of a General Emergency, all emergency workers located within the 10-mile EPZ will be directed to take K1 (one 130 mg tablet every 24 hours). This recommendation will be made at the same time as the recommendation to ingest K1 is made to the general public. " Analysis
* Though current trigger levels for emergency worker KI use vary within New York State, all methods use trigger levels greater than the 5 rem child CDET that is associated with the general pUblic.
* The KI Task Force has agreed that there will be one trigger level to recommend KI, and that trigger level will be 5 rem child CDET.
* Most emergency workers are members of the public, and many will encounter the evacuating public, who will have been told to take their KI. Additionally, emergency workers have access to the same public information that would be instructing the public to take KI. These emergency workers:
* May not differentiate themselves from the public in the presence of instructions regarding KI.
* May not comply with directions that differ from those being broadcast to the pUblic.
* Since emergency workers are likely to move about between evacuated and non-evacuated areas within the EPZ, all emergency workers within the EPZ will be directed to take KI. This includes licensee emergency workers as well as county, state, and local emergency workers.
* Using the same arguments as in section 4.1, if current methods are continued, emergency workers would receive a recommendation to take KI while in the field. This method:
* Is likely to result in a recommendation to take KI after exposure to radioiodine has already occurred.
* Has potential delays due to the communications lag present when contacting several hundred emergency workers in the field.
* Directing emergency workers to take KI in the absence of radioiodine has the same risks and benefits detailed in section 4.1. REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 C-19 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis 4.7 Task Force Recommendation
# 5 "Members of the public and captive populations who are directed to take KI shall be directed to ingest KI in the dosage recommended by the US FDA. If a scheme of graded dosing is not possible, one 130-mg tablet per may be ingested with minimal risk for those over one year of age. Dose to neonates should be limited to 16 mg, if possible.
Analysis The FDA guidance (Ref. 3) contains a number of age dependent doses. These recommendations are the lowest effective dose. Emergency planners and others should understand that absolute precision in dosing is generally not critical to safety or efficacy.
Higher doses (e.g., up to 130 mg) would be equally effective and, particularly among school-age children, extremely safe (Ref. lO). In addition to 130 mg tablets, KI is now FDA-approved and available in 65 mg tablets and liquid (65 mg/ml). Threshold Thyroid Radioactive Exposures and Recommended Doses of KI for Different Risk Groups KI dose # ml liquid # of65 mg # of 130 (mg) (65 mglml) tablets mg tablets Adults over 40 yrs 130 2 2 1 !Adults over 18 through 40 yrs [pregnant or lactating women !Adolescents over 12 through 18 yrs 130 2 2 1 who weigh at least 150 pounds Ado lescents over 12 through 18 yrs 65 1 1 112 who weigh less than 150 pounds Children over 3 through 12 yrs 65 1 1 112 lOver 1 month through 3 years 32 112 112 114 lBirth through 1 month 16 114 114 118 A scheme of graded dosing may be difficult to implement during a radiological emergency involving large numbers of people. If local emergency planners conclude that graded dosing is logistically impractical, for populations at risk for radioiodine exposure, the overall benefits of taking up to 130 mg of KI instead of the lower doses recommended for certain age groups far exceed the small risks of overdosing.
However, where feasible, adherence to FDA guidance should be attempted when dosing infants. Ideally, neonates should receive the lowest dose (16 mg) ofK!. Excess iodine intake can lead to transient iodine-induced hypothyroidism in neonates, which can impact intellectual development.
Individuals who are intolerant ofKI at REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 C-20 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis protective doses, as well as neonates, pregnant, and lactating women, should be given priority with regard to other protective measures (i.e., sheltering-in-place, evacuation, and control of the food supply) (Ref. 10). This analysis recognizes:
* Potential confusion relating these doses to the public.
* Practical issues associated with delivering doses based on fractions of a tablet. This would require sectioning KI tablets in order to achieve a desired delivered dose.
* Likely lack of compliance regarding dose given the above issues. Benefits to this method
* Instructions to follow the FDA recommendations if possible, but allowing up to 130 mg for persons over one year of age, and limiting neonates to 16 mg are easily related in public information material.
* Simple instructions are more likely to be complied with. Risks to this method This recommendation may provide a dose to children significantly in excess ofthe FDA requirements.
In light of potential developmental consequences of even transient hypothyroidism, neonates who receive KI should be medically monitored and thyroid hormone therapy given in cases where hypothyroidism develops.
This action should be incorporated into the State and county plans. Risk Analysis
* The risk associated with excessive KI is less than the risk of exposure to radioiodine (Ref. 3).
* The public is more likely to comply with simple dose instructions.
* The FDA has indicated that the use of a single 130-mg dose for all members of the public is safe, regardless of age (Ref. 10). 4.8 Task Force Recommendation
# 6 "As part of a pre-distribution effort, each member of the public should be offered a quantity of KI tablets equivalent to the following:
Maximum ETE (in days-rounded up) x 1 age and/or weight dependent dose/day.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 C-21 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis Alternatively, one bottle of liquid KI may be offered per family." Analysis
* The public should be provided with sufficient KI to assure that thyroid prophylaxis is available to accommodate an expected duration of exposure to radioiodine.
* Given that evacuation of the public is the preferred method of preventing exposure, in an incident that could result in the release of radioiodine, the public could be expected to be exposed for a period of time equal to the greatest Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE) for the facility in question.
* One dose ofKI protects the thyroid for approximately 24 hours (one day). It is possible that impediments to evacuation may prevent the egress of portions of the population that would otherwise be evacuated (examples are road impediments such as heavy snowfall or transportation resource shortfalls), however, those conditions are accommodated in each nuclear facility's ETE.
* Given the above, pre-distribution efforts should provide sufficient KI in accordance with the following:
Maximum ETE (in days-rounded up) x I age and/or weight dependent dose/day = # KI tablet(s) per person that should be pre-distributed Example: At Nine Mile Point, the maximum amount of time it would take to evacuate any member of the public is 8 hours, 20 minutes, as indicated in that facility's ETE (Ref. 4). Rounded up, that is equivalent to 1 day. Plugging this into the above formula: 1 day x 1 age and/or weight dependent dose/day 1 age and/or weight dependent dose In this example, one tablet of the appropriate dosage should be offered per person in a distribution method. If 65 mg tablets are not available, 130 mg tablets may be offered. Alternatively, one bottle of liquid KI per family may be offered. 5. Implementation Considerations This section provides suggestions for implementing the recommendations contained above. 5.1 Licensee actions REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 C-22 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix C: Iodine Prophylaxis The Part 1 Notification Fact Sheet item 7.B. should be modified to read, "Evacuate and implement the KI plan for the following ERPA's". This action was completed 5 May 2003. 5.2 County and State actions
* Emergency plans should be modified to include:
* The addition of Kl as a protective action for the pUblic.

REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 C-26 Intentionally left blank WESTCHESTER COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY SERVICES RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN VOLUME 1 CORE PLAN AND APPENDICES APPENDIX D SHEL TER-IN-PLACE Revision 0.0 DRAFT 08/06/10 Intentionally left blank WCREP Appendix D: Shelter-In-Place APPENDIXD SHELTER-IN-PLACE Volume 1 The Sheltering-in-place Response Option gives the County the capability to implement an effective protective action for the general public in the event of a puff-type radiological release incident at the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC). In addition, for those situations requiring evacuation and where evacuation cannot be implemented because of time constraints and/or impediments to highway movement (e.g. severe winter weather), Sheltering may be implemented in lieu of evacuation.
If the Sheltering-in-place Response Option is implemented, the general public and special facility administrators should be informed ofthe following:
: 1. Remain indoors and close all windows and doors. 2. Tum off all fans, air conditioning equipment and other sources of outside air, while maintaining a safe indoor temperature.
: 3. Close blinds and drapes. 4. Extinguish fires in fireplaces and close flues. 5. Keep listening to the radio for heightened awareness of a radiological emergency and for possible changes in protective actions announced via the Emergency Alert System. Selective Sheltering-in-place Sheltering-in-place may be preferable to evacuation as a protective action in some situations.
Because of the higher risk associated with evacuation of some special groups in the population (e.g., those who are not readily mobile), Sheltering may be the preferred alternative for such groups as a protective action at projected doses up to 5 rem. In addition, under unusually hazardous environmental conditions use of Sheltering-in-place at projected doses up to 5 rem to the general population (and up to 10 rem to special groups) may become justified.
Sheltering may also provide protection equal to or greater than evacuation due to the nature of the source term and/or in the presence of temporal or other site-specific conditions.
Illustrative examples of situations or groups for which evacuation may not be appropriate at 1 rem include: a) the presence of severe weather, b) competing disasters, c) institutionalized persons who are not readily mobile, and d) local physical factors which impede evacuation.

* The Part 1 Notification Fact Sheet item 6 should be modified to read, A. No Need for Protective Actions outside the site boundary B. Evacuate and implement the KI Plan for the following ERP As ... C. All remaining ERP As monitor the Emergency Alert System (EAS)
* A "Note" should be added to 6B which states that "Offsite authorities should consider sheltering and take KI if evacuation is not feasible" This statement acknowledges that during an emergency, licensee typically are unaware of emergent impediments to evacuation as that information is obtained and acted upon by offsite officials.
* Licensee plans should be revised to reflect the recommendation of place" for short duration releases during a General Emergency.
A short duration release is defined as a controlled release of one hour or less duration.
* Licensee plans may be revised to reflect alternate arrangements that have been made with State and/or county officials to accommodate special evacuation circumstances.
5.2 County and State actions
* Emergency plans should be revised to include:
* The addition of sheltering as a protective action for the pUblic.
* The above protective action may be implemented when persons who should be evacuated cannot. See decision tree in Appendix A for additional information.
* If the public is sheltered in place during a General Emergency, KI will be recommended for administration
* Public information plans should be revised to include:
* The purpose of monitoring EAS, and actions to take while monitoring EAS should be incorporated into public education materials and press releases.
* "Monitor the EAS" should be incorporated into EAS follow-up messages.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06110 D-7 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix D: Shelter-In-Place

Following their instructions during and after emergencies regarding sheltering, food, water, and clean up methods is your safest choice. Remember that instructions to shelter are usually provided for durations of a few hours, not days or weeks. There is little danger that the room in which you are taking shelter will run out of oxygen and you will suffocate.
At Home:
* Close and lock all windows and exterior doors.
* Tum off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems. Close the fireplace damper.
* Gather essential disaster supplies, such as nonperishable food, bottled water, battery-powered radios, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, duct tape, plastic sheeting, and plastic garbage bags, and make sure the radio is working.
* Go to an interior room without windows that's above ground level. In the case of a chemical threat, an above-ground location is preferable because some chemicals are heavier than air, and may seep into basements even if the windows are closed.
* Bring your pets with you, and be sure to bring additional food and water supplies for them.
* It is ideal to have a hard-wired telephone in the room you select. Call your emergency contact and have the phone available if you need to report a life-threatening condition.
Cellular telephone equipment may be overwhelmed or damaged during an emergency.
* Use duct tape and plastic sheeting (heavier than food wrap) to seal all cracks around the door and any vents into the room.
* Keep listening to your radio or television until you are told all is safe or you are told to evacuate.
At Work:
* Close the business.
* Bring everyone into the room(s). Shut and lock the door(s).
* If there are customers, clients, or visitors in the building, provide for their safety by asking them to stay -not leave. When authorities provide directions to shelter-in-place, they want everyone to take those steps now, where they are, and not drive or walk outdoors.
* Unless there is an imminent threat, ask employees, customers, clients, and visitors to call their emergency contact to let them know where they are and that they are safe.
* Tum on call-forwarding or alternative telephone answering systems or services.
If the business has voice mail or an automated attendant, change the recording to indicate that the business is closed, and that staff and visitors are remaining in the building until authorities advise it is safe to leave.
* Close and lock all windows, exterior doors, and any other openings to the outside. REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 D-IO WCREP Volume 1 Appendix D: Shelter-In-Place
* Have employees familiar with your building's mechanical systems tum off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems. Some systems automatically provide for exchange of inside air with outside air these systems, in particular, need to be turned off, sealed, or disabled.
* Gather essential disaster supplies, such as nonperishable food, bottled water, battery-powered radios, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, duct tape, plastic sheeting, and plastic garbage bags.
* Select interior room(s) above the ground floor, with the fewest windows or vents. The room(s) should have adequate space for everyone to be able to sit in. Avoid overcrowding by selecting several rooms if necessary.
Large storage closets, utility rooms, pantries, copy and conference rooms without exterior windows will work well. A void selecting a room with mechanical equipment like ventilation blowers or pipes, because this equipment may not be able to be sealed from the outdoors.
* It is ideal to have a hard-wired telephone in the room(s) you select. Call emergency contacts and have the phone available if you need to report a life-threatening condition.
Cellular telephone equipment may be overwhelmed or damaged during an emergency.
* Use duct tape and plastic sheeting (heavier than food wrap) to seal all cracks around the door(s) and any vents into the room.
* Write down the names of everyone in the room, and call your business' designated emergency contact to report who is in the room with you, and their affiliation with your business (employee, visitor, client, customer.)
* Keep listening to the radio or television until you are told all is safe or you are told to evacuate.
At School:
* Close the school. Activate the school's emergency plan. Follow reverse evacuation procedures to bring students, faculty, and staff indoors.
* If there are visitors in the building, provide for their safety by asking them to stay not leave. When authorities provide directions to shelter-in-place, they want everyone to take those steps now, where they are, and not drive or walk outdoors.
* Provide for answering telephone inquiries from concerned parents by having at least one telephone with the school's listed telephone number available in the room selected to provide shelter for the school secretary, or person designated to answer these calls. This room should also be sealed. There should be a way to communicate among all rooms where people are sheltering-in-place in the school.
* Ideally, provide for a way to make announcements over the school-wide public address system from the room wh'ere the top school official takes shelter.
* If children have cell phones, allow them to use them to call a parent or guardian to let them know that they have been asked to remain in school until further notice, and that they are safe.
* If the school has voice mail or an automated attendant, change the recording to indicate that the school is closed, students and staff are remaining in the building until authorities advise that it is safe to leave.
* Provide directions to close and lock all windows, exterior doors, and any other openings to the outside. REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 D-ll WCREP Volume 1 Appendix D: Shelter-In-Place
* Have employees familiar with your building's mechanical systems turn off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems. Some systems automatically provide for exchange of inside air with outside air -these systems, in particular, need to be turned off, sealed, or disabled.
* Gather essential disaster supplies, such as nonperishable food, bottled water, battery-powered radios, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, duct tape, plastic sheeting, and plastic garbage bags.
* Select interior room(s) above the ground floor, with the fewest windows or vents. The room(s) should have adequate space for everyone to be able to sit in. Avoid overcrowding by selecting several rooms if necessary.
Classrooms may be used ifthere are no windows or the windows are sealed and can not be opened. Large storage closets, utility rooms, meeting rooms, and even a gymnasium without exterior windows will also work well.
* It is ideal to have a hard-wired telephone in the room(s) you select. Call emergency contacts and have the phone available if you need to report a life-threatening condition.
Cellular telephone equipment may be overwhelmed or damaged during an emergency.
* Bring everyone into the room. Shut and lock the door.
* Use duct tape and plastic sheeting (heavier than food wrap) to seal all cracks around the door( s) and any vents into the room.
* Write down the names of everyone in the room, and call your schools' designated emergency contact to report who is in the room with you.
* Listen for an official announcement from school officials via the public address system, and stay where you are until you are told all is safe or you are told to evacuate.
In Your Vehicle If you are driving a vehicle and hear advice to "shelter-in-place" on the radio, take these steps;
* If you are very close to home, your office, or a public building, go there immediately and go inside. Follow the sheltering recommendations for the place you pick described above.
* If you are unable to get to a home or building quickly and safely, then pull over to the side of the road. Stop your vehicle in the safest place possible.
If it is sunny outside, it is preferable to stop under a bridge or in a shady spot, to avoid being overheated.
* Turn off the engine. Close windows and vents.
* If possible, seal the heating/air conditioning vents with duct tape.
* Listen to the radio regularly for updated advice and instructions.
* Stay where you are until you are told it is safe to get back on the road. Be aware that some roads may be closed or traffic detoured.
Follow the directions of law enforcement officials.

One of NUREG-0654's numerous requirements for emergency planning and preparations is to promptly notify the public that an emergency situation exists and to take protective actions. This notification capability is required within the Plume EPZ, approximately a 10-mile radius around the reactor site. Appendix 3 of NUREG-0654 discusses the primary requirements concerning public notification and for notification systems. 1. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS a. INTRODUCTION This document provides an overview of the Public Alert and Notification System (ANS) for the 10-mile EPZ area centered on the Indian Point Energy Center. It describes the purpose, design criteria, configuration, implementation and testing schedule of the Indian Point ANS. At the time of this writing, the IPEC siren system is in transition between the existing siren system and a new upgraded siren system that was, in part, mandated by the Energy Policy Act of2005 and related Nuclear Regulatory Commission orders. Westchester County retains the ability to activate both systems; however, the new siren system will be relied upon as the primary. In anticipation of transition to the new system, this plan reVISIOn incorporates the information for the new system. Implementation procedures at the County Warning Point and the OEM reflect procedures for both systems. (1) Background IPEC has installed an Alert and Notification System (ANS) in the approximate 10-mile EPZ area surrounding the Indian Point Energy Center. The 10-mile EPZ area is the Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The purpose of the ANS is to provide initial alert to the general public within the EPZ of an emergency at the Indian Point Plants. The intention of the alert signal is to instruct the public to monitor the Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages being broadcast on public media (radioITV) for more specific information.
The responsibility for the activation of the ANS resides with the county governments who have jurisdiction in the 10-mile EPZ area. The ANS is segmented into four parts along county boundaries with the alerting devices in each segment controlled by the respective county authorities.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08106110 F-2 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix F: Public Alert and Notification The Public Alert System is composed mainly of sirens and is augmented with tone alerts radios (TARs). Tone alert radios are an enhancement to the Indian Point Alert and Notification System. The radios have been distributed to supplement siren alerting for residents in EPZ areas where acoustic coverage is reduced, as well as to special facilities in the EPZ. The tone alert radios are pre-tuned to a local EAS broadcast station that transmits EAS messages.
The tone alert radios are activated automatically when an EAS message is broadcast by a commercial radio station in conjunction with siren soundings.
Entergy Nuclear is responsible for the administrative maintenance of the tone alert radio program. These activities include:
* Maintaining records of tone alert radios currently distributed by Entergy,
* Providing replacement radios to recipients as requested,
* Ensuring sufficient supplies of replacement radios,
* Identifying facilities that should be offered tone alert radios,
* Surveying tone alert radio holders annually to verify operability of tone alert radios, and to provide instructions on the use ofthe tone alert radios b. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION The existing siren system has 79 sirens in Westchester County. Attachment F-2 identifies the location of sirens for the existing system. The new siren system will have 77 sirens in Westchester County. Attachment F -3 lists the location of sirens for the new system. The system description which follows is for the new system. (1) Alerting Device Distribution For effective coverage of the Indian Point EPZ, omni-directional electronic stationary sirens were selected as the alerting devices for the new ANS. Based on the siren placement guidelines presented above, the system design indicates that 172 sirens are required.
The distribution is as follows: *
* Westchester 77 ** Rockland 56 ** Orange 23 ** Putnam 16 TOTAL 172 REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 F-3 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix F: Public Alert and Notification (2) Control and Communication The communication control system uses twelve (12) communication control units (CCU) with an attached computer, running the control and monitor software.
Each unit includes a CCU, computer, LCD monitor, printer, keyboard, track ball, batteries, and uninterruptible power supply, all within a rack-mounted enclosure.
Three (3) of the twelve (12) CCU's are located in Westchester County. They are located:
* in the 60 Control Communications Center, 4 Dana Road;
* the Emergency Operations Center in the Hudson Valley Traffic Management Center, 200 Bradhurst A venue; and
* the alternate EOC located in the County Office Building, White Plains. Six (6) CCU's are located in the following counties:
* two (2) CCU's located in Putnam County
* two (2) CCU's located in Orange County, and
* two (2) CCU's located in Rockland County. Each county has complete activation control and monitoring over the sirens used to alert their county from all CCU's located within their county. Westchester County's and Rockland County's CCU's have the capability of controlling all 172 sirens in all four Counties.
The ability to activate another County's sirens is only exercised at that County's request. There are three (3) CCU units located at Indian Point Energy Center that have complete control and monitoring capabilities over all sirens in the system. All CCU's, computers, and associated equipment have battery back-up power capable of providing a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours of operation in case of primary power failure. The system incorporates reliable communication and post-activation polling times of less than 3 minutes (using the IP communication path). There are two completely separate and redundant parallel communication paths used to convey activation and monitoring messages between the CCU's and the remote sirens. The dedicated simulcast radio system uses redundant transmitters and antennas located at each of four transmitter tower sites: Tinker Hill, Grasslands, Harriman and IPEC Meteorological.
The transmitter towers are linked to provide simulcast operation.
The effective radiated power (ERP) from the transmitter tower is 200 watts with 50 watts (ERP) talkback power. REV O. 0 (DRAFT) 08106110 F-4 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix F: Public Alert and Notification Using the four towers in simulcast mode, essentially 100% coverage is obtained from anyone ofthe twelve (12) CCU locations to all siren sites. All radio communication equipment has battery backup for at least twenty-four (24) hours of operation in case of primary power loss. This simulcast radio system uses one 220 MHz frequency pair that the Indian Point Energy Center is licensed for and confonns to the existing license ERP output power for both the repeaters and the mobile units (sirens and CCU's). The 220 MHz radio system eliminates the single points of siren communication failures since every CCU can communicate to every siren in the system. To further increase the RF system reliability, all activation transmission messages are sent out multiple times. By sending out multiple redundant activation messages, the probability of all desired sirens correctly activating, even in the presence of random radio interference.
A wireless data network that uses cellular data modems provides independent, redundant communications between all CCU's and sirens. Several methods are employed to prevent unauthorized access to the siren system via these wireless links. Data is extensively checked and is encrypted using 128 bit AES. The modems are programmed to respond only to other modems within an assigned block of static IP addresses.
: c. SIREN PLACEMENT GUIDELINES The following guidelines on siren sound levels are employed in the siren placement for the Indian Point ANS: (1) For non-residential areas, sirens are placed so that 60dB (C) will be the minimum outdoor siren-sound level in the area. (2) For residential areas with population density below 2,000 persons/square mile, sirens are placed so that 65dB (C) will be the minimum outdoor siren-sound level in the area. This is to provide effective indoor as well as outdoor coverage.
(3) For popUlated areas with population density above 2,000 persons/square mile and for cities, sirens are placed so that 75dB (C) will be the minimum outdoor sound level in the area for effective indoor as well as outdoor coverage.
(4) The maximum sound level received by any member of the public is no more than 123dB (C). The above guidelines provide adequate outdoor, as well as indoor coverage under most circumstances.

: d. ALERT AND NOTIFICATION SYSTEM TESTING AND MAINTENANCE Entergy is responsible for testing and maintenance of the siren system. Procedures detailing the testing and maintenance of the system are on file at Entergy. The siren system testing program is as follows. The success of any test will be confirmed by feedback reported to the control station. If unsatisfactory performance is reported, a technician is dispatched by the NFO to diagnose and repair the problem. (l) Bi-Weekly Silent Test -A bi-weekly "Silent" test is initiated from either the County EOC or WP to ensures that the transmission path and the siren audio drivers are functional.
(2) Short Duration Full Volume Test -A quarterly "Growl" test is initiated from either the County EOe or WP. In this test, the sirens emit a constant tone for approximately 10 seconds. (3) Full Alert Siren Test -The entire siren system is tested at least annually to ensure operability.
The sirens are sounded from either a County EOC or WP as if it were a real actuation.
In this test the sirens emit a constant tone for approximately 4 minutes. (4) Preventive Maintenance
-The NFO conducts a preventive maintenance program for the entire siren system including sirens, control stations and repeaters.
Adjustments or repairs are made as needed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Procedures detailing the maintenance and the maintenance frequency are on file at the NFO. e. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION (l ) Emergency Alert System (EAS) The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a network of radio stations designed to give information to the public in the event of any emergency, including a radiological emergency at Indian Point. (a) System Description/Capabilities (i) Consists of radio stations whose broadcast area includes Westchester County (see Table F-l). (ii) Stations should follow procedures developed for use by broadcasters to select the best EAS monitoring assignment according to specific EAS Operational (local) Area planning while considering constraints imposed by particular geographic and technical phenomena in those areas. Any detailed EAS Operational Plans developed voluntarily at the local level should be used in lieu of these procedures.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) F-6 08/06/10 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix F: Public Alert and Notification (2) Other Notification Capabilities Westchester County uses an automated callout system for selected emergency worker notifications and general public notification.
This system is developed by Dialogic Communications Corporation (DCC) and is known as The Communicator.
This system has two applications as follows. (a) Emergency Worker Notification The Westchester County Emergency Notification System (ENS) is used to perform automated callout of the EOC staff. Pre-recorded messages are available for both drill scenarios and real events, one for each emergency classification leveL The system can be activated by the Warning Point or authorized Department of Emergency Services personneL This activation can be done remotely by those authorized.
The system has 16 lines and is programmed with the home, office, mobile and pager numbers for EOC staff. The system is able to log successfully completed calls and print a report of calls completed. (b) Community Notification System This feature of the Communicator is utilized for larger public notifications.
It has three T -Systems connected to it with 72 lines. An additional tool used in conjunction with the system is GeoCast (GIS system) with which you can "drop and draw" specific geographic areas of the county to be notified.
It is also capable of notifying special population groups such as schools and nursing homes. It will also be used as the backup in the event of siren failure. The GeoCast automatic dialing system will also be used to replace route alerting in the event of siren failure. A distance of approximately one mile radius around the siren will be selected.
A recorded message will be played for residents which advises them to tune to local EAS radio and TV stations for emergency information.
This system is web-based and can be activated by OEM staff from any location.

Department of Energy, the New York State Government and County Governments.
The existing and planned resources are described in this Appendix.
: 1. NUCLEAR FACILITY OPERA TOR The Nuclear Facility Operator (NFO) has extensive monitoring and assessment capabilities consisting of operating and planned systems and equipment.
: a. Meteorological Radiological Plant Parameter Data Acquisition System (MRPDAS) (1) MRPDAS Computer System Draft REV 6/07 The MRPDAS Computer System provides real-time meteorological and plant parameter data (e.g., radiation levels, temperatures) to the county so that proper accident assessments can be made during and immediately after a radiological emergency.
The system takes input from site-related meteorological and radiological instrumentation and provides information to assessment teams at the county emergency operations center. (a) (b) (c) (d) Calculates the dispersion path of radioactive material if released into the atmosphere by the plant. Obtains meteorological information from a backup meteorological tower when the primary tower is out of service, thus providing assurance that basic meteorological information is available during and immediately following an accidental airborne radioactivity release and providing an input to the assessment of the consequences of accidental radioactive releases to the atmosphere.
Provides simultaneous real-time meteorological data and transport and diffusion estimates in the vicinity of the site to the licensee, emergency response organizations and the NRC Staff, on demand. Utilizes site-located radiological instruments.
1-2 WCREP (e) Volume 1 Appendix I Produces the present location and shape of the plume (Class A static model) and predicts its future shape and travel (Class B dynamic model). The primary value of the MRPDAS System for making protective action response decisions is the ability to produce this information.
(2) Radiological and Meteorological Instruments with Telemetric Capability An Environmental Radiation Monitoring System consisting of 16 monitors has been installed at locations around the Indian Point Site. These devices continuously radio and telemeter radiation level readings to a dedicated central data processor.
The users interrogate the central location and obtain data directly.
: b. NUCLEAR ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING The existing Nuclear Environmental Monitoring (NEM) program has the responsibility for gathering and documenting ongoing radiological and meteorological readings in the 10-mile EPZ. In addition to access to the data available from the systems described in preceding paragraphs 1 and 2 and the operational responsibility for the equipment described in paragraph 2.b, the NEM program is responsible for the equipment represented in the Indian Point Wind Sector Map in the EOC, for teams of trained technicians utilizing special portable equipment to the emergency sampling sites (also in the Wind Sector Map) and for directing Emergency Offsite Monitoring Teams in an emergency.
(1) Offsite NEM Equipment (a) Environmental Radiation Monitoring System -Refer to paragraph l.b. (a) Windsets -Refer also to paragraph l.b. Additional windsets are deployed in the area around IPEC. Each installation contains a two-channel chart recorder that receives and records wind speed and direction.
Charts from this equipment are periodically retrieved by the NEM program. (c) Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD's) -TLD's deployed as shown in the Indian Point Wind Sector Map in EOC, sensitive to Gamma radiation, are gathered and read periodically by the NEM program. (d) Air Samplers deployed as shown in the Wind Sector Map are constantly in operation passing ambient air through a series of filters capable of trapping radioactive iodine and other radioisotopes in the air. The filters are periodically removed and analyzed by the NEM program. Activated charcoal filters are used for training, drills and exercises.
Silver Zeolite filters are used for actual response.
Both types are carried by field monitoring teams. Draft -REV 6/07 1-3 WCREP (e) Volume 1 Appendix I Portable Equipment
-NEM teams utilize portable equipment to gather data from any of the 61 pre-designated emergency sampling locations around the Indian Point Site shown on the Wind Sector Map in the EOC. Readings taken by these teams are relayed back to the site via radio, using commercial telephones as backup. A partial list of the equipment utilized by these teams is presented in paragraph
: 4. c. EMERGENCY OFFSITE MONITORING TEAMS Entergy has trained volunteers from their staff in the operation of radiological monitoring equipment.
In general, personnel utilized for this work have prior experience and have demonstrated capabilities working in areas of radioactivity exceeding normal levels. The volunteers would supplement and assist the radiation monitoring teams already assigned to the monitoring task in the event of an emergency at either Unit 2 or Unit 3. Kits containing necessities including the following radiological equipment are maintained in a ready state and would be utilized by the teams: (1) RO-20 Ion Chamber, or Equivalent
-This device uses a display meter to indicate the level of Gamma radiation. (Since Gamma is normally present as background radiation, readings recorded by volunteers must be evaluated by trained personnel. ) (2) H809C Air Sampler -This device is basically a blower with a filter holder in the inlet, utilized to take samples of ambient air and pass the air through fiberglass and activated charcoal filters. These filters remove and absorb any radioisotopes from the air. Activated charcoal filters are used for training, drills and exercises.
Silver Zeolite filters are used for actual response.
Both types are carried by field monitoring teams. (3) Eberline RM-14 Radiation Monitor, or equivalent
-This device is used to measure the radioactivity of filters produced by an Air Sampler (paragraph b, above). (4) Personnel Protection Equipment
-Includes ANTI-C clothing and special respirators for use in radiation environments.
(5) Support Equipment and Supplies -Includes spare filters, a stop watch, a filter holder, instruction kits, spare batteries, tools and spare rolls of chart paper. 2. FEDERAL RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT CAPABILITIES The Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) has been implemented consolidating the Federal response to a wide range of potential radiological emergencies.
The FRERP is intended to facilitate and clarifY the Federal role and mechanisms for providing support to State and local governments in a major radiological emergency.
Draft -REV 6/07 1-4 WCREP Volume 1 Appendixl The Federal Emergency Management Agency has the responsibility for coordinating Federal response to nuclear incidents.
SEMO will request all federal radiological assistance through FEMA. The coordination of the logistical support necessary for this operation will be the responsibility of SEMO and FEMA. a. FEDERAL RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT PLAN (FRMAP) The Federal Monitoring and Assessment Plan (FRMAP) was developed by the U.S. DOE under 44 CFR Part 351 issued by FEMA on March 11, 1982. FRMAP is part of the FRERP and replaces the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan (IRAP) originally published in 1965 to provide Federal technical assistance and response to radiological emergency incidents.
Major provisions of the FRMAP are: -Federal agencies will develop plans and procedures to implement the FRMAP. -The participating agencies; NRC, EPA, USDA, HHS, DOE, DOD, and DOC will maintain facilities, equipment, and personnel to carry out their responsibilities.
-DOE will coordinate all Federal offsite monitoring and assessment operations during the emergency phase, while EPA will assume this role in the intermediate and long term phases. -Federal response will be in support of and integrated with that of the State and local government.
: b. MAJOR DOE RESOURCES U.S. DOE radiological assistance will be requested for emergencies classified as Site Area or General Emergencies.
Data from the DOE teams will be coordinated with other data in the EOF and transmitted from there to the State EOC. The DOE teams will be the primary source of information on aerial monitoring of the plume. Aircraft of the Aerial Measuring System (AMS) are maintained to be ready to apply state-of-the-art remote sensing equipment to map large areas that may have been affected by an accidental release. A computer based system, the Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability (ARAC) uses actual weather diffusion, and deposition of any radioactivity released to the environment.
The information supplied by this monitoring mode includes:
-exposure rates and radionuclide concentrations in the plume -isotopic identification of radionuclide releases -delineation of plume extent Draft -REV 6/07 1-5 WCREP -extent of ground deposition Volume 1 Appendix I c. RADIOLOGICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (RAP) The function of the Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) is to respond, on an emergency basis, with appropriate scientific and medical advice and technical assistance to incidents involving loss of control over radioactive materials.
RAP teams from the Brookhaven National Laboratory can respond to any site in NYS within 4 to 6 hours. RAP advance teams at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL), environmental Measurements Laboratories (EML) and the West Valley Demonstration Project may also be able to respond to the nearest nuclear site location.
: d. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) MILK MONITORING NET The EPA milk monitoring net is a part of the EPA's Environmental Radiation Ambient Monitoring System (ERAMS). ERAMS maintains a continuing surveillance of radioactivity in the U.S. to identify the accumulation of long lived radionuclides in the environment.
ERAMS is also designed to provide short term evaluation of large scale environmental nuclear releases.
During ingestion pathway incidents, ERAMS data may be utilized to collect and analyze additional milk samples marketed in areas receiving fluid milk from the affected milk shed. The results are provided to the State EOC and give them a back-up system to determine the effectiveness of preventive actions taken to reduce projected dose. e. OTHER EPA PROGRAMS
* Assist in developing recommendations regarding measures to protect the public health and safety.
* Assess the nature and extent of the environmental radiation hazard.
* Assist DOE in monitoring radioactivity in the environment during the emergency phase; assume primary responsibility for same in long term phase. f. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) ANALYTICAL CAPABILITIES FDA manages a program whereby representative samples of foods in a typical diet are taken from various locations throughout the country. These foods, including dairy products are then examined for their radionuclide content, commonly tritium S-90, Cs-137 and K-40. Under emergency conditions, FDA facilities can be used to analyze milk samples taken by FDA regional field staff. g. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Draft REV 6/07 1-6 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix I
* Guidance to State and local officials on the use of radio-protective substances, including dosage, and on projected doses that warrant such measures.
* Guidance to State on protective action guides for food and animal feeds. h. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
* Provide the State with advice on the minimization of losses to agricultural resources from radiation effects.
* Procurement of food.
* Inform and assist farmers and others in returning to pre-emergency conditions.
* Assist in the implementation of protective measures to minimize contamination through food ingestion.
* Assist in the collection of samples within the 50 mile EPZ. i. ACTIVATION OF DOE TEAMS USDOE Radiological assistance will be requested for emergencies classified as Site Area or General Emergencies.
Data from the DOE teams will be coordinated with other data in the EOF and transmitted from there to the State EOC. The DOE teams will be the primary source of information on aerial monitoring of the plume. The information supplied by this monitoring mode includes:
* exposure rates and radionuclide concentrations in the plume
* isotopic identification of radionuclides releases
* delineation of plume extent
* extent of ground deposition Radiological Assistance teams operating from Brookhaven National Laboratory can respond to any site in the State within 4 to 6 hours if air transport is used. (If air transport cannot be used due to weather conditions, motor vehicles will be used. The use of motor vehicles may add about 3 hours to response time for an incident at Indian Point. Aerial monitoring capabilities are expected to arrive from Andrews AFB, Maryland.
This capability is expected to be functional for 4 hours after take-off.
RAP advance teams at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL), Environmental Measurements Laboratories (EML) and the West Valley Demonstration Project, Draft -REV 6/07 1-7 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix I may be able to respond in a shorter time frame depending upon the site of the emergency.
KAPL teams can respond to any nuclear power site in the State within 5 hours. EML team can respond to Indian Point within 2 to 3 hours. 3. NEW YORK STATE AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS The Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Resources of the State and Counties within the 10-mile EPZ have been evaluated, inventoried and summarized.
Present Monitoring and Assessment capabilities are available through the New York State Emergency Management Office and Department of Health and the appropriate County Emergency Management and Health Departments.
Sufficient county personnel shall be provided training in radiological field monitoring so that a total of six field teams are available for response to a radiological emergency (2 teams per shift 1 backup team and spare personnel).
Each team, shall consist of three persons: a. Field Team Supervisor
: b. Monitor c. Record Keeper/Communicator The Westchester County Department of Health has been provided with six radiological monitoring emergency kits to be used by county field monitoring teams. The contents of each kit are shown in Table 1-1. A map of radiological sampling points is enclosed in each field monitoring kit and a map is posted on the wall in the Assessment Room of the EOC. Offsite meteorological data is obtained from the licensee, and is available to the County EOC either from the EOF/AEOF, or via MRPDAS. The Dose Assessment Coordinator from the Westchester County EOC directs Field Monitoring Teams by the use of mobile radios to any location in order to obtain required field data. It is estimated that field data can be relayed to the EOC Assessment Center within 20 minutes after arrival at field monitoring sites. There are six field monitoring teams made up of three individuals.
The training given to these teams consists of (1) the use of air sampling and air sampling equipment; (2) use of mobile radios; (3) portable radiation detection equipment; (4) use of personal dosimetry and KI. Personnel rosters and training records are filed separately in the Westchester County EOC. The Westchester County Field Monitoring Teams may be augmented by RACES communications.

This section of the plan identifies both areas of public infonnation requirements.
: 1. PREPAREDNESS PHASE PUBLIC INFORMATION The Lead PIa shall assist in the development and implementation of a public education program to familiarize the public residing in the 10-mile emergency planning zone surrounding the Indian Point Energy Center and transients in this area with emergency preparedness plans, including siren notification systems, protective actions, emergency response planning area designations and other radiological emergency planning considerations.
Public education activities will include, but not necessarily be limited to the following:
: a. Develop and distribute planning infonnation for residents of the 10-mile EPZ to include infonnation on the County's Special Needs Registry and an "800" telephone number for seeking additional infonnation.
: b. Develop and distribute emergency planning materials targeted for transients.
The Westchester Department of Emergency Services annually distributes emergency infonnation stickers/posters to transient locations within the ten mile emergency planning zone. These stickers/posters provide infonnation on siren sounding; identify the local EAS station; and direct the public to refer to additional infonnation in telephone books. A sample is provided at Figure K-l. c. Participate in annual joint media education sessions (coordinated by Entergy).
: d. Provide speakers on emergency planning.
: 2. PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS Westchester County has designated the County Communications Director/Chief Advisor as the County's lead spokesperson for the release of infonnation to the public and the news media during an emergency.
The release of all infonnation to the public and the media will be coordinated via a joint infonnation system (in accordance with NIMS/ICS concept of operations).
The public infonnation staff is part of the command function in the EOC and report to the County Executive.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 K-2 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix K: Public Information The joint information system consists of a loint Information Center (lIC) located at the Hudson Valley Traffic Management Center in Hawthorne, New York, supplemented by Public Information operations at each of the four County Emergency Operations Centers. Each of these key locations is linked via telephone, video-conferencing and a shared web-based public information computer network. The JIC is operated by SEMO and includes Entergy public information staff. News media briefings will be conducted regularly during an emergency to provide accurate and timely information to the media concerning the nature and scope of the accident, onsite accident mitigation activities, governmental offsite response activities and recommended public protective actions. Details concerning news media briefings are contained in the Hawthorne Joint Information Center Procedures Manual. When notified of an Unusual Event via the Office of Emergency Management or the County Warning Point, the County Communications Director will assess the event from a public information view. Public information functions may be activated at the discretion of the Director of Communications, if it is envisioned that the event may generate great public interest or a need to share emergency-related information with the general public. For example, this may be the case for security related events at Indian Point. The Communications Director will notify the EOC Lead PIO and will assure they, or a qualified alternate, are available to stand by for possible escalation to a more severe event. When notified of an Alert or higher emergency classification, the County EOC Lead PIO and PIO staff will report to their assigned positions the County EOC. The Westchester County EOC Lead Public Information Officer and staff will operate out of the EOC Public Information Work Room. The EOC PIO staffwill coordinate with the state operated JIC, also located at the Hudson Valley Traffic Management Center in Hawthorne.
The lIC is operated to facilitate a coordinated public information process or system. Coordination is accomplished via numerous communications methods, including shared web-based information; some physical co-location at the JIC; video-conferencing; and telephonic communications.
The County Executive and/or other County Spokesperson will participate in lIC press conferences.
EAS messages will be developed in the EOC by PIO staff, with final approval by the County Executive(s).
EAS message content will be reviewed with and coordinated among the other counties via the Executive Hotline. Message formulation will be facilitated over the Public Information portal within the DisasterLAN web-based internet computer application.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 K-3 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix K: Public Information PIO staff may be assigned responsibility for recording the content of EAS messages and ensuring its proper transmittal and broadcast by the EAS station. An EAS encoder is available in the EOC to permit direct activation and broadcast of EAS messages from the EOC. Telephone communications are also available between the primary EAS station, WHUD, and the EOC. The EAS station also has call-back numbers to verity authenticity, when necessary.
PIO staff will also be responsible for preparing and issuing follow up news releases.
News releases may be issued through a variety of means including, but not limited to, posting on the internet, group emails, faxing directly to the media and posting in the JIC. Individuals who may serve as county spokespersons, include but are not limited to: The County Executive County Director of Communications/Chief Advisor EOCLeadPIO In addition to the above, additional senior managers may be made available to speak to specific technical issues. These individuals may include the Commissioners of Emergency Services, Health and Public Safety, or their designated representatives.
Public Inquiry The County will staff a public inquiry telephone bank to address public questions and concerns.
This function will be initiated as early as an Alert. Public Inquiry personnel will operate from the alternate EOC in White Plains. A public information staff member will supervise this operation and facilitate coordination with the EOC. Public inquiry personnel will be trained and will have access to the EOC application in order to have to-date information on county response actions. Any recurring rumors or frequently asked questions, will be relayed by the Public Inquiry Call Center supervisor to the Lead PIO in the county EOC. The Lead PIO will ensure such items are addressed in news releases and will coordinate with the State, Entergy and other counties via the PIO conference line and through posting to the PIO module of the DisasterLAN system. The Westchester County Public Inquiry telephone number will be disseminated to the public via news releases at the time of emergency and will be announced during media briefings.
The public will be instructed to call this number to obtain emergency information, confirm information or to clarity suspected rumors. A Public Inquiry team member will respond to the specific inquiry of the caller, if possible.
If additional information is required before a response can be given, the call could be referred to the appropriate party for response and a call back made, if necessary.
REV 0.0 (DRAFT) 08/06/10 K-4 WCREP Volume 1 Appendix K: Public Information Media Inquiry Media inquiries will be addressed by the County Director of Communications and staff. A specific telephone number has been identified for this purpose in the EOC. This telephone number will be circulated to the media via the website, in news releases and announced during press briefings.
Media Monitoring Westchester County will rely primarily on SEMO and Entergy to perform the media monitoring function.
In addition, county PIO staff may monitor local news media via televisions and radios located in the PIO workroom ofthe EOC. SEMO and Entergy will coordinate a broader media monitoring function out of the JIc. An audio/visual room at the JIC will be used to monitor and record news broadcasts and bulletins carried by radio and television stations throughout the emergency.
These broadcasts, as well as news reports in the print media and internet websites, will be reviewed for accuracy.
This off-air monitoring and recording capability will provide the opportunity for prompt identification of inaccurate or incorrect information.
Any reports requiring correction will be brought to the attention of the appropriate State, county or utility representative.
Corrections will be made during briefings at the lIC, or by directly contacting the responsible station or publication.

* Overall command and control of the entire emergency
* Alert and notification of the public via sirens and EAS messages.
* Accident assessment of off site consequences of a radiological emergency
* Protective response evaluation to determine the proper protective actions to be implemented based on protective action guides and dose projections
* Radiological exposure control of emergency workers and the general public.
* Public information via news briefings, TV, Radio and Joint Information Center.
* Reception and congregate care centers for evacuated public.
* Fire and rescue services
* Transportation
* Social Services in support of reception and congregate care centers.
* Public Works
* Emergency Medical Services
* Law enforcement services 2.2 The County Commissioner of Emergency Services, or designee, serves as EOC Manager; will support the County Executive with EOC activities to implement the Westchester Indian Point Emergency Response Plan; is responsible for activating the EOC; coordinating communications with state and local response agencies; and advising the County Executive on protective action decisions.
DRAFT (07/10) 3 IP 1.0 3.0 Concept of Operations 3.1 The Westchester County Executive and DES Commissioner will operate from the County EOC Command Room to assure command and control for the overall emergency including accident assessment, protective response evaluation and radiological exposure control to protect the safety and health of the general public and emergency workers. 3.2 Westchester County operates within the National Incident Management System/Incident Command System (NIMS/lCS).
The County Executive has ultimate authority for public safety and issuing protective action orders. The CE has delegated operational authority for Incident Management to the Commissioner of the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services.
The four counties will operate within a unified command to coordinate area-wide response to an Indian Point emergency.
3.3 Notifications of Unusual Event will be received by the County Warning Point, which will contact the Department of Emergency Services (DES). The DES will notify the County Executive and make selected other notifications as deemed appropriate.
In most situations, no further actions will be necessary.
The County Executive retains discretion to direct other actions, as deemed appropriate.
In some circumstances, such as security incidents or when there is indication of potential for escalation, the County Executive may direct a partial activation of the EOC, and other facilities and response personnel.
3.4 When notified of an Alert or higher, it is county policy to activate its EOC. The following personnel (or their designees) will normally operate from the EOC Command Room: o County Executive o Commissioner of Emergency Services o Commissioner of Public Safety DRAFT (07/10) 4 IP 1.0 o Commissioner of Transportation o Public Information Representative/Liaison o OEM Support Staff o SEMO Liaison 3.5 The Command Room will establish and maintain a video conferencing link with Westchester County Public information staff at the Joint Information Center in order to facilitate timely exchange and approval of public information.
3.61n addition to video conferencing capability, the Command Room is equipped with an Executive Hotline (dedicated telephone line connecting the state, counties and utility);
Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) line; computer terminals; computer projection system; and various office support equipment such as facsimile machines and printers.
3.7The County Executive, in consultation with key staff, may take pre-cautionary actions, as well as make protective action decisions (e.g., shelter-in-place or evacuation) based upon available information.
The following pre-cautionary actions may be taken as early as an Alert within the ten mile EPZ: o Relocation of schools o Clearing of parks and recreation areas o Closing of the river to marine traffic o Activation and mobilization of some field response personnel 3.8 The County Executive will consider declaring a local State of Emergency in accordance with state law whenever an emergency occurs or is pending which requires response resources beyond the capabilities of the county to address; or when the response requires the exercise of executive powers to address public safety issues. 5 DRAFT (07/10)
IP 1.0 3.9The County Executive will make protective action decisions based on input from Entergy, and after consultation with the County Commissioners of Health and Emergency Services and Public Safety. In an immediate General Emergency scenario, the County Executive has pre-authorized the County Warning Point to issue a default protective action of shelter-in-place within five miles. This procedure will ensure that the public is informed of the need to take action as soon as possible.
In an immediate General Emergency, the County Executive will be immediately informed of the situation and will begin the process of coordinating with the other three counties to assess the need for other actions, such as evacuation.
3.10 The County Executive and/or Commissioner of the DES may periodically brief the EOC Operations Room staff and will obtain briefings from EOC staff on the status of key response actions. 3.11 The County Executive may also consider conducting news conferences and issuing public statements on the status of county response actions and public safety issues. This will be done in coordination with County Public information and Communications staff and also coordinated with the Joint Information Center, other counties and the state. 6 DRAFT (07110)
