ATTACHMENT 5.1 Page 1 of 2 OSC/TSC INTERLOCKING DOORS NOTE The interlocking door circuit breaker is located in Lighting Panel LP-OTSC-2D in the OSC/TSC hallway across from the TSC Communications Room.
ENERGIZING THE INTERLOCKING DOOR SYSTEM
- 1. TURN the switches on the Air Lock Doors Monitoring Panel CP-45 in the TSC Communications Room to "Energ".
- 3. CHECK operability of the interlock:
A. The OSC (TSC) inner door should only open if the 2 doors leading into the 2nd Floor Admin. Building and stairwell are closed.
- b. The 2 doors leading into the 2nd Floor Admin. Building/stairwell should only open if the OSC (TSC) inner door is closed.
DE-ENERGIZING THE INTERLOCKING DOOR SYSTEM:
- 1. TURN switches on the Air Lock Doors Monitoring Panel CP-45 in the TSC Communications Room to "OFF".
- 2. ENSURE all doors can be opened simultaneously.
NOTE:
IF system does not de-energize, THEN ensure R-44A and R-44B on the Radiation Panel CP-42 are in the "Alert" mode. The system will not de-energize until the alarms are cleared.
IF R-44A and R-44B are not in "Alert" mode and the system does not de-energize, THEN go to the HVAC Room Control Panel #CP-41.
PUSH the Annunciator ACK (black button) and then the RESET button on the bottom row left.
ATTACHMENT 5.1, Continued Page 2 of 2 EMERGENCY CONDITION:
- 1. The Interlocking Door System will automatically energize when R-44A and R-44B alarm. Doors must then be closed to initiate the interlock mechanisms.
- 2. Each door has an emergency 'unlock'. IF there is a need to override the interlock system, THEN pull down the fire alarm liner (inside TSC door between Documents Vault and Westinghouse Office) and open the door. This must then be reported to the OSC Manager.

2.2 The Plant Operations Manager- (POM) is responsible for authorizing exposures in excess of 10CFR20 limits. The authority of the POM is limited to onsite emergency actions and Indian Point emergency workers inside the Protected Area.
2.3 The Radiological Assessment Team Leader (RATL) is responsible for:
A. Assessing the potential exposures to Indian Point 3 emergency workers.
B. Advising the ED on appropriate exposure limits.
2.4 The Operations Support Center (OSC) Health Physics Team Leader (HPTL) is I responsible for ensuring proper exposure limits are assigned to teams dispatched from the OSC.

VOLUME III IP-1027 Rev. 13 4.0 PROCEDURE 4.1 Applicable Dose Limits:
A. Routine IP-3 Administrative Dose Limits
- 1. IP3 has established administrative dose limits which apply during all non-emergency situations.
- 2. The administrative dose limits can be found in Radiological and Environmental Services (RES) procedures.
B. 10CFR20 Dose Limits:
- 1. The federal government has established dose limits in IOCFR20 to protect personnel against radiation.
- 2. The IOCFR20 limits pertinent to an IP-3 emergency are as follows:
Whole Body (TEDE - Total Effective Dose Equivalent) 5 Rem/yr Thyroid (TODE - Total Organ Dose Equivalent) 50 Rem/yr Lens of the eye (LDE - Lens Dose Equivalent) 15 Rem/yr Skin or Extremity (SDE - Shallow Dose Equivalent) 50 Rem/yr C. Emergency Worker Dose Limits:
- 1. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established guidelines on dose limits for workers performing emergency services.
- 2. The EPA emergency worker dose limits are as follows:
Whole Body (TEDE) Activity Condition Limit (REM) Il 5 -10 Protecting valuable property Lower dose not practicable I 10 - 25 Life saving or protection of Lower dose not practicable large populations
> 25 Life saving or protection of Only on a voluntary basis large populations for persons fully aware of the risks involved IP-1027 Page 2 of 5
VOLUME III IP-1027 Rev. 13 effective dose Sum of external effective dose equivalent and committed and intake during an emergency equivalent to non-pregnant adults from exposure emergencies should limit dose to situation. Workers performing services during value and doses to any other organ the lens of the eye to three times the listed times the listed value (including skin and body extremities) to ten 4 2 Implementation of Dose Limits:
A. At all times during an emergency, the following shall be followed to the best extent practicable:
- 1. Use applicable emergency procedures when dispatching personnel.
- 2. Make every effort to maintain doses As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) through:
- a. minimization of exposure times,
- b. rotation of personnel,
- c. use of potassium iodide (KI),
- d. use of protective clothing, and
- e. use of respiratory protection.
the B. During a Notice of Unusual Event (NUE) or Alert emergency, administrative dose limits should remain in place.
the C. During a Site Area Emergency (SAE) or General Emergency (GE),
10CFR20 dose limits may be used without formal approval.
WARNING Emergency worker exposure limits are NOT TO BE APPLIED to minors or pregnant adults.
the D. If required, the 10CFR20 dose limits may be exceeded to protect health and safety of the public or to save a life as follows:
- 1. When prior planning time is available, the ED shall authorize exposures that exceed the limits of 10CFR20 outside the protected area and the POM shall authorize exposures that exceed the limits of IOCFR20 inside the protected area.
- 2. If practicable, EP-FORM #7, "Authorization for Personnel to Receive Emergency Exposure Above 10CFR20 Limits", shall be used to authorize these exposures.
IP-1027 Page 3 of 5
VOLUME III IP-1027 Rev. 13 of
- 3. Personnel who are selected to receive exposures in excess 10CFR20 limits shall be volunteers who are aware of the risks associated with the exposure. A summary of the risks associated with high levels of radiation exposure can be found at the end of this procedure.
- 4. It is recognized that an extreme lifesaving situation may occur in which there is little or no time to obtain permission or fill out authorizations. In these situations, the rescuer shall be briefed, if possible, by health physics personnel regarding the area radiation fields and projected exposure.
The priority for authorization in these situations is as follows:
- a. ED
- b. Plant Operations Manager (POM)
- c. Most senior health physics individual available
- 5. In any case where a 10CFR20 limit has been exceeded, the ED shall be notified as soon as possible.
4.3 Effects from Hich Levels of Radiation Exposure:
from High Levels of Radiation Exposure:
Radiation injury depends on numerous factors such as the type of radiation involved, the parts of the body exposed, the rate and duration of exposure, the number of exposures and the age and sex of the irradiated person. There are short and long term effects from high levels of radiation exposure.
Short Term Effects:
Whole Body Effects:
15 to 50 Rem - No symptoms, blood test may show some slight changes 50 to 200 Rem - Some nausea, vomiting, and slight decrease in blood count, no deaths expected.
200 to 450 Rem - Most have nausea, vomiting, and feel flu symptoms. Most have hair loss, infection likely, 10-50% deaths.
450 to 600 Rem - Flu, bleeding from mouth and throat, infections likely, 50-90% deaths.
600 to 1000 Rem - Symptoms worse than above, 90-100% deaths.
Radiation Injury to the Skin:
Less than 1000 Rem - First degree thermal burn (similar to sunburn)
IP-1027 Page 4 of 5
VOLUME III IP-1027 Rev. 13 1000 to 5000 Rem - Blisters form and break open 3000 to 5000 Rem Similar to scalding or chemical burn Over 5000 Rem - Ulceration and major skin damage Potential Loncg Term Effeczts: Based on information from the National Research Council (BEIR V) .
Cancer Probability: The normal chance of contracting fatal cancer for a group of people with no radiation exposure in the United States is 20%. If this group of people were each exposed to 100 Rem, the chance of any person contracting fatal cancer would increase to 28%
Genetic Effects: A 100 Rem exposure to radiation is estimated to increase the chance of a genetic effect from 0.25% for the average person with no radiation exposure to 0.5%.
Fertility Effects: An exposure to the gonads of 250 Rem may cause reduced fertility, and an exposure of 600 Rem may cause permanent sterility.
Cataracts: (Cloudiness or darkening in the lens of the cataracts eye.) 200 Rem to the eyes may cause (ICRP 41).
