HP-200 ST. LUCIE PLANT 1.0 TITLE HEALTH PHYSICS EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION 2.0 REVIEW AND APPROVAL See cover page.

3.0 PURPOSE 3.1 This procedure defines areas of responsibility and provides general guidelines for action to be taken by Health Physics Department personnel upon implementation of the St. Lucie Plant Radiological Emergency Plan (E-Plan). It also references those Health Physics (HP) procedures necessary to carry out specific HP activities during a declared radiological emergency (Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency).

4.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 4.1 The Health Physics Department is responsible for protecting all personnel from excessive radiological exposures during accident conditions. In order to effectively carry out this responsibility, it is necessary that all HP personnel quickly man their emergency stations and assemble and check their equipment and await directions from the Technical Support Center Health Physics Supervisor (TSCHPS) or his designee.

4.2 The TSCHPS is responsible for the procedures to be implemented and when implementation is to be effected.

4.3 Complete all procedural steps if applicable or indicate as non-applicable by writing N/A in the provided blank.

4.4 When Health Physics normal operating procedures and emergency procedures differ, the emergency procedures take precedence.

4.5 Delegation of duties and watch reliefs shall be authorized only by the TSCHPS or his designee with approval of the Emergency Coordinator.

4.6 It is the responsibility of all personnel to limit their own exposure and to assist others in limiting their exposures.

HP-200 ST. LUCIE PLANT 8.0 INSTRUCTIONS 8.1 Health Physics Emergency Organization

1. Technical Support Center Health Physics Supervisor (TSCHPS)

The Health Physics (HP) Supervisor or his alternate (see the St. Lucie Plant Emergency Response Directory (ERD)) shall assume duties as the TSCHPS in the Technical Support Center (TSC). He is responsible for all HP activities and reports to the Emergency Coordinator (EC). A TSCHPS Checklist, Form HP-200.1 is provided in this procedure. See Section 8.2 for instructions to be followed prior to activation of the TSC and / or prior to arrival of the TSCHPS.

2. Health Physics OSC Supervisor (HPOSC)

The senior HP Operations Supervisor shall assume duties as the HP Supervisor in the Operational Support Center (HPOSC). He reports to the TSCHPS in the TSC. He is responsible for coordinating all HP activities from the Operational Support Center (OSC). A HPOSC Supervisor Checklist, Form HP-200.2 is provided in this procedure.

3. Health Physics Technical Staff The Health Physics Technical Staff shall report immediately to the TSCHPS for assignment.
4. Health Physics Technician (HPT)

Radiation Protection Technologists (RPTs) assume the role of Health Physics Technicians (HPTs = OSCHP Tech) and shall immediately report to or be in contact with the OSC. They will be assigned duties by the HPOSC.

18 HEALTH PHYSICS EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION 7 of 25 PROCEDURE NO.:

HP-200 ST. LUCIE PLANT 8.2 On-Shift Health Physics Response To Emergencies

1. An Emergency Class declaration of an Alert or higher during off-normal working hours will require additional HP staffing. The senior HP representative on-site will implement the HP emergency procedures. It is expected that this initial period will last for about one hour.
2. The senior HP representative on-site shall notify the Emergency Coordinator and apprise him of HP assistance available on-site. He will take his orders directly from the Emergency Coordinator and should assume his duties in the plant or OSC and not in the TSC unless otherwise directed by the Emergency Coordinator. He should attempt to remain in a position to be reached by the Emergency Coordinator if necessary.
3. Since there will be only limited health physics coverage available, it is very important for the senior HP representative on-site to discuss with the Emergency Coordinator (or his designee) the coverage which each feels is necessary and to prioritize that coverage. The following list may be used to assist in the decision of assigning priorities: (in order of preference)

A. Radiological coverage necessary to allow expedient entry to areas when required to place the plant in a safe condition B. Treatment of contaminated personnel C. Radiological coverage during high activity sampling D. Preparations for extensive in-plant monitoring and surveillance

4. When the additional HP support arrives, the initial period will have passed.

In order to maintain continuity and to effect a smooth transfer from the interim to the fully staffed mode it is necessary that the HP command function not change hands more than is absolutely necessary. Therefore, even though the senior HP representative on-site can be relieved by a more senior Technologist or Supervisor, he should not be relieved by anyone except the HP Supervisor or his alternate.

HP personnel shall report to the OSC when they arrive on-site and should contact the senior HP representative on-site for assignments.

5. The senior HP representative on-site shall initiate the TSCHPS's Checklist, Form HP-200.1.

3.3 This procedure provides methods to estimate airborne activity if the sample exceeds the capabilities of the multichannel analyzer.

3.4 This procedure implements Technical Specification 6.8.4.b.ii.

4.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITS 4.1 Contaminated AgX cartridges shall not be dispose of as Rad-Waste, until it is determined that they are not considered Mixed Waste.

4.2 Dose rates from iodine sample cartridges, particulate filters, and gas Marinelli's may be such that shielding of the samples will be required prior to and following analysis.

4.3 Samples collected during an emergency can become a source of spreadable contamination, especially filters and iodine cartridges.

4.4 The HPOSC should direct that analysis of in-plant air samples be performed in the Health Physics count room on the unaffected unit. If this count room should become untenable, the analysis of air samples should be moved to the OSC.

4.5 This procedure is limited to in-plant air sample analysis. Refer to Health Physics Procedure HP-202, "Environmental Monitoring During Emergencies" for instructions on off-site monitoring and analysis.

4.6 Analysis of air samples shall be performed in accordance with the normal Health Physics operating procedures HPP-10, "Multichannel Analyzers" utilizing the guidelines indicated in this procedure for high activity samples.
