e A. GLOSSARY

, The terms listed below are used in these procedures or may be

.used in the emergency braodcast system (EBS) messages which you may hear on your tone alert radio in'the event of a radiological

• emergency at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station. Underlined words cited in the definitions are cross-indexed.

ALERT i An alert would be declared if there was an actual or potential

, safety problem at the plant. A release of radiation may have i

occurred, but the amount would not have been significant. At this level, LERO would make emergency personnel ready and l available to respond if the problem became more serious.

, CONTAMINATION

The presence of radioactive material in undesirable locations.

<- DECONTAMINATION The reduction or removal of radioactive contaminants from an

. object, person or area, as by cleaning or washing with water or -

i detergents.

DOSE

! A quantit of energy absorbed from ionization per unit mass of l

tissue. e rem is a unit of absorbed dose.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC)

The command, coordination, and communication center operated by LERO which will be activated to evaluate the radiological emergency and make and coordinate protective action recommendations along with other efforts that may be implemented for emergency response.

EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE (EPZ)

The area about a nuclear power plant for which planning is accomplished to assure that prompt and effective actions can be taken to protect the public in the event of a radiological emergency. The plume exposure EPZ is an area

.approximately 10 miles in radius around a nuclear power plant.

i EVACUATION The protective action that entails the actual movement of people out of the affected area.

' EXERCISE A preplanned event that tests a major portion of all of the-basic elements within the radiological emergency response plan.

This event tests the capability of the emergency preparedness I

orgasization to successfully respond to a radiological emergency that could result in offsite consequences.

GENERAL EMERGENCY A General Emergency would be declared if the situation involved i actual or expected core damage and radiation releases were l expected to exceed the government limits for areas beyond the immediate site. At this level, LERO officials would decide whether pre-planned protective actions such as sheltering or evacuation were necessary. Continuing information would be provided to the public.

PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDELINES ~

Projected radiological doses to individuals in the general population and emergency workers, that warrant protective actions following a release of radioactive material.

PROTECTIVE ACTIONS The measures taken in anticipation of, during, or after a release-of radioactive material. The purpose is to reduce the radiological-doses to persons that would be likely to occur if the actions were not taken.

-RADIATION The emission or propagation of waves or particles such as light, sound, radiant heat, particles, or waves, emitted by radioactivity including any or all of the following: alpha L particles, beta particles, gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, high-speed electrons, high-speed protons and other atomic particles; RADIOLOGICAL' EMERGENCY Any event involving actual or potential radiation exposure or radiological contamination to the environment.

limits past which the government requs.res protective action. At this level, LERO would staff emergency positions, radiation survey teams would be dispatched, and the public would be notified through the news media.

UNUSUAL EVENT An Unusual Event would be declared if there were potential for a safety problem, but there had been no release from the plant.

If this classification is declared, offsite officials are notified about the potential problem.

I. *. .

l B. Concept of Operations l

l-I. Introduction-Under'the Shoreham Plan, emergencies are to be classified j using four categories of-increasing _ seriousness: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.

Only at a General Emergency would there be the possibility

. that a release of radioactivity vould be sufficient magnitude-to potentially exceed, in the plume Emergency Plannin Agency'g Zone (EPZ),

s Protective of theGuideline Action Environmental Protection dose levels.

Your facility will be notified initially of.any emergency at Shoreham requiring protective actions by anyone in the l

EPZ by the tone alert radio provided to your facility by l LERO. Your tone alert radio may be activated at the Alert l Classification although there will be no need for

, adult / nursing homes to take any protective actions at that l emergency classification. If at a higher classification protective actions are recommended for the general public,

' l

! you will also be notified by your tone alert radio, g

Prottetive actions of sheltering or evacuation are l

recommended based upon the projected radiation doses that may be received-in particular areas of the plume EPZ, and the amount of time available in which to respond relative l~ to the amount of time necessary to implement a response.

While it is unlikely that an emergency resulting in a i

release would occur at Shoreham, it is more unlikely that a release would. occur that would make it necessary to take protective action out to the 10-mile boundary.

II. Sheltering l

l In sheltering your residents during a release of L radioactivity from Shoreham, the residents are being L protected from two kinds of exposure: (1) external

exposure to radiation from an overhead plume and (2) l internal exposure from inhaling radioactive particulates L from the plume. Adequate sheltering can be provided by your building. The sheltering areas are identified in Section C.

Revision-0

III. Evacuation It is possible to postulate a highly unlikely accident scenario that would result in the conclusion that it would be necessary to evacuate Woodhaven Nursing Home. However, Woodhaven Nursing Home is located near the edge of the plume EPZ and in most accident scenarios, a radioactive release from Shoreham would not present your facility with

.an insnediate emergency (as would, for example, a fire),

giving your facility ample time to implement protective actions. In addition, government studies indicate that the probability of large radiation. doses, even from a worse case accident at the plant, drops off substantially 3 at about 10 miles from the reactor (NUREG 0396, Pg. I-37).

' Potassium Iodide (KI)-Distribution Instructions l 1

I. General-'Backstround on KI:-

KI blocks radioiodine, which might be ingested or inhal'ed by an exposed person, from entering the thyroid gland.by

~

saturating the gland with nonradioactive iodine. If radioiodine exposure has occurred or is anticipateo, the Administrator or her designee can recommend _ the use of KI as a protective action, in conjunction with sheltering.

n Because KI works by saturating the thyroid gland.with nonradioactive iodine before radioiodine reaches the  ;

thyroid, it is very important to take KI shortly before or soon after any exposure to.radioiodine. The concept is- '

illustrated by the fact that KI is over.95 percent .

effective when taken at the time of-exposure to radiciodine and is only 50 percent effective when taken 3-4 hours after exposure. It is important to remember i

" ZI protects only the thyroid gland and does not l r-ouect the rest of the body from radiation exposure.

II. Decision Authority: -

]

LERO will not make a recommendation for the use of KI as a protective action. The decision to recommend KI will be made by the Administrator or her designee.

III. Recommended Dose and Frequency:

n The recommended dosage is one (1) 130 mg. tablet per day (equivalent to 100 mg. of iodine) to all individuals over one year of age and one-half (%) of-a 130 mg. tablet.per day (equivalent to 50 mg. of iodine) to infants under one (1) year of age.

KI will not be required after ten (10) days if other ,

protective measures are taken. These protective measures could include interruption of contaminated milk supplies or evacuation.

= 6 Revision o l

Radiciodine already present in the body but blocked from entering the thyroid gland by KI will continue to circulate for up to 46 hours5.324074e-4 days <br />0.0128 hours <br />7.60582e-5 weeks <br />1.7503e-5 months <br /> after cessation of exposure.

Thus, it takes the body two (2) days to eltninate radioiodine by renal excretion. The thyroid gland must be protected for this-48 hour period to preventContinued uptake of use radiciodine from other parts of the body.

of KI is, therefore, required for two (2) additional days The minimum dosage of KI is after cessation of exposure. .

three (3) days.

IV.- Side Effects:

Read the manufacturer's brochure for possible side effects to KI. If the side effects are severe or if a person has an allergic reaction, they should contact a doctor.

V. Storage:

There are no s7ecial storage requirements for this type of KI, provided that each bottle remains tightly close. It is recommended, however, that all KI be kept under lock and key to ensure against possible misuse.
