, II.' BASIC PLAN l A. General !
Because a number of school districts are found within the approximate 10-mile plume exposure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generating Station, all of which might be expected to implement their respective RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school population can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among all districts, as well as with the Chester County Plan. Accordingly, the Technical School RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with other plans without risk of conflict.
This plan is designed to protect school students while attending any school function, including classroom and/or extracurricular activities, special events or any function sponsored by the school.
- 1. School in session refers to regular classroom hours (semesters; adult sessions; sumer sessions; evening classes); when the authorized school calendar applies; when students are involved 4 in regular school sponsored activities / events; or when students occupy school facilities under school supervision.*
- 2. School not in session refers to after hours during the time of the authorized school calendar (regular and sumer school terms). Special activities during vacation periods will be included if school facilities are occuppied by individuals or groups not authorized / sponsored by.the school.*
- 3. This plan does not apply during vacation periods or when all school facilities are closed for extended periods.
4.
Students refer to individuals in grades Kindergarten from Twelve (K) through sponsoring) Districts / Schools, (12 , authorized pre-school program (s) or special education activities.
- 5. In no case will students be dismissed to their own care if protective action is iminent. School officials will remain responsible for student safety until parents / guardians can assume responsibility. Note: Students driving their own vehicles to school may be released at an appropriate time, (if parents / guardians have given written permission).
B. Direction and Coordination 1.- The Director shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by the Operating Comittee and the laws of the Comonwealth of Pennsylvania.
- A copy of the school calendar is attached. (Attachment 7) 7 Draft 5
- 2. The Director is responsible to the Operating Committee for all school emergency plans and procedures, the coordination of protective action within the school building and for the safety of students and staff in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
- 3. The Director coordinates with the Chester County Department of Emergency Services (DES) for protective response to include the direction and control of evacuation and/or sheltering of students and staff and for the cancellation / suspension of school or special activities.
- 4. All students, school buildings, school equipment, staff and contracts will remain under the supervision and control of the Superintendent of Schools. The Administration Office will serve f.s the interfacing point in providing for administration, information/ resource exchange and management of school services.
- 5. The Principal and Supervisor (s) are responsible to the Director for school building emergency plans, the coordination of protective action within the school building, and for the safety of students and staff in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
- 6. Host school services furnished by other school facilities shall be under the operational control of the supporting host school facility.
- 7. Because of the scope of a radiological emergency, the need for centralized coordination of emergency response personnel and resources becomes essential. For the purposes of this Plan, therefore, Chester County DES shall exercise responsibility for coordination and support with the sending / sponsoring school districts and transportation providers.
'8. The Chester County Radiological Emergency Response Plan to which this document shall be annexed shall govern implementation of the Technical School RERP.
- 9. Coordination between the Counties involved shall be accomplished by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and be governed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Disaster Operations Plan, Annex E, Fixed Nuclear Facility Incidents.

Sample Letter ATTACHMENT 4 NORTHERN CHESTER COUNTY TECHNICAL SCHOOL
Dear Parent:
The Northern Chester County Technical School has developed plans to protect students should an incident at the Limerick Generating Station require protective response. Normally, the Technical School will be closed before any protective actions are necessary, but in the event that sheltering or evacuation are necessary before school is closed, the School has plans for accomplishing those protective actions. If evacuation is necessary, students will be safely bussed directly to a host school. The host school for our School is (Valley Forge Junior High School) located in Berwyn, PA. Parents or legal guardians will be requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the host school building follows:
Charlestown Rd. to Route 23 East to Rt. 252 South to Rt. 30 West to Old Lancaster Ave. to Howeville Rd. (right to school).
l When evacuation of students is required, the School is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents / guardians be reunited with students as quickly and conveniently as possible. School staff will accompany students during evacuation, the host school is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the normal mass care centers for the general public.
School staff will remain with students until all students are picked up. It is not necessary to rush, drive safetly to the host school and your child will be waiting for you under the supervision of school staff.
Because it is important that school driveways and access roads be kept open for buses, the School requests that parents / guardians refrain from trying -
to pick up students at the Technical School when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent. In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate school census.
If you are delayed in picking up your son or daughter, after 8 p.m., our host school may be closed and remaining students bussed to a designated mass care center, located at Downingtown Area Senior High School. At this facility, students will be provided shelter and food, awaiting sarent/ guardian arrival. The Red Cross operates this facility. A notice will )e posted at the host school to remind you of this mass care center's location:

- Sample Letter Children will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior written arrangements have been made. Please complete the attached form, designated who can pick up your child and have the child return the form to school.
1 Should sheltering be recommended, your child will be sheltered in his own school building, located in the risk area whose population might have to shelter (EPZ), until the sheltering advisory is lifted. Should the sheltering advisory delay dismissal of students, you will be notified by radio, as you would be during a snow emergency, etc.
If technical school programs are suspended at any time during an incident, you will be notified by the School, indicating the suspension of technical programs. If Technical School is not being held and your child's high school has not been cancelled, your child will remain at high school and not attend the Technical School. Remember, refer to the high school's material regarding protective action to receive appropriate information in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
In order to insure the safety of the Northern Chester County Technical School children, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents.
Sincerely, C. Robert Zimmennan Director l

- ATTACHMENT 5 SCHOOL EVACUATION EBS ANNOUNCEMENT The following message has been released by the Chester County Department of Emergency Services. It supplements instructions given to the public relative to the general evacuation announcement for the approximate ten-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station.
" Parents with children attending school within a ten-mile area of the Limerick Generating Station are advised that their children will be evacuated to a safe location where they can be reunited with their parents or guardians.
Children will be bused to safe locations at host schools outside the risk area. Parents are asked to meet their children there. I repeat, children will be bused directly to safe locations at host schools outside the risk area where parents or guardians may pick them up. Parents or guardians are urged to go directly to the host schools. Attempting to pick them up at the schools they attend might interfere with their safe evacuation.
Children attending Chester County schools within the 10-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station will be bused to locations where they care be picked up.
Please refer to the information provided by your child's school that high-lights these host schools and pick up procedures.
Parents are urged not to telephone or to go to the school that their chil-dren are attending inside the ten-mile radius of the plant. This will only create confusion. Parents are to meet their children at the assigned host schools. I repeat, parents are urged not to telephone or to go to the school that their children are attending inside the approximate ten-mile area, but to meet their children at assigned host schools.
If your child attends a school outside the ten-mile radius, you may pick up your child at that school.
These host schools will remain open until 8 p.m. After 8 p.m., your child will be transferred to an announced location to await pickup.
The preceding has been an announcement by the Chester County Department of Emergency Services giving parents instructions on where to meet their children who are attending school in the approximate ten-mile area around the Limerick Generating Station."
(Repeat this message one time then end transmission.)
(This message will be broadcast along with the General Evacuation announce-ment when instructions are given by the Department of Emergency Services to do so.)

- 3. Central Resource Receiving Point - A predesignated location outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ, suitable for the reception and distribution of supplies and equipment.
4 Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Announcements - Official announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or directions from the County Commissioners, or their designated official represen-tative, to the permanent and transient residents of the county. Announcements are made over the legally designated EBS network. EBS announcements at the State level are made only when they are applicable statewide. , Priorities for EBS announcements are specified in law; first priority to the Federal government, second priority to county governments, and third priority to state governments. Restriction on use of EBS announcements does not preclude appropriate use of newspapers, radio and television for public information statements.
- 5. Emergency Management - The judicious planning, assignment and coordination of all available resources in an integrated program of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery for emergencies of any kind, whether from enemy attack, man-made or natural sources. (May be termed Emergen-cy Preparedness.)
, 6. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) - A facility used by state, county or municipal governments from which to direct opera-tions in the event of an emergency.
- 7. Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) - A generic area defined about a nuclear facility to facilitate offsite emergency planning and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.
- 8. Host School / Facility - Predetermined schools / facilities outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ to which risk school students are evacuated, at which they remain under risk school officials' supervision, until they are picked up by their parents or legal guardians.

- 9. Incident - An incident is an event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes have been identified; from the.least serious to the most serious they are: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Emergency and General Emergency. (Note: Site or.
General Emergency classifications are not to be confused with a " Declaration of Disaster Emergency" made by the Governor in accordance with Pennsylvania P.L. 1332 of 1978.) Within each class, there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descrip-tions of the four incident classes are as follows:
- a. Unusual Events - Events are in process or have occurred which indicates a potential degradation of the level of safety of the facility. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
- b. Alert - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the facility. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Envi-ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guideline exposure levels.
- c. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of facili-ty functions needed for the protection of the public.
Radioactive releases are not expected to exceed the EPZ Protective Action guideline exposure levels except near the facility site boundary.
- d. General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can reasonably by expected to exceed EPA protective action guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area boundaries.
- 10. Main Evacuation Routes - Those roadways identified in state and risk county plans as the routes leading from the plume exposure pathway EPZ for use by vehicles in the event of an incident requiring evacuation.
- 11. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless. Feeding may be done within a mass care center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby.
3 Rev.0 .
O
r
- 12. Mobilize - The act of bringing a department, staff or agency to the strength required to accomplish its missionon a 24-hour basis; including the prepositioning or movement of equipment or personnel.
- 13. Municipality - For the purposes of this plan, the terms
" municipality" or " municipal government" are defined or referring, singularly or collectively, to cities, boroughs,
- townships and incorporated towns within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
- 14. Parent County - The county in which the nuclear facility is physically located.
- 15. Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which potentially is subject to radiation exposure as a result of an incident involving radioactive material emanating from the facility. Such potential expo-sure could involve: (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 EPZ for this pathway consists of an area of approximately ten miles in radius around the fixed nuclear facility. (The exact size and configuration of the plume exposure pathway EPZ for the Limerick Generating Station was determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demography, topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.)
- 16. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
- 17. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. Some of the basic actions are:
- a. Sheltering - Action taken by the public to take advan-l tage of the protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radio-active plume.
- b. General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire population within a specified geographic area.
- c. Selective Evacuation - The evacuation of specific elements of the population, such as pregnant women, pre-school children or the infirm.
4 Rev.0 O
- 18. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by PEMA or county official spokespersons via newspaper, radio or
. television to explain government. actions being taken to protect the public in event of any public emergency. The purpose of the announcement is to provide accurate informa-tion, prevent panic and counteract misinformation and rumors.
Reference to.the emergency incident itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and
- not to provide detailed information about it.
- 19. Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP1 - Detailed response plans developed by the state and its agencies, county.and municipal emergency management agencies, school districts, etc. in coordination with PEMA and the fixed nuclear facility.
- 20. Reception Center - A predesignated site outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ through which evacuees will pass to obtain information and directions to mass care centers.
- 21. Risk County - A county located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility.
22.- Risk School- A school facility located pa'rtially or wholly within the plume expsoure pathway EPZ of a fixed nuclear facility.
- 23. School Services Officer - An individual appointed by the Montgomery County DEP who ensures the coordination of risk school district plans for protective response and coordinates the alert / notification and resource requirements of risk schools at the time of the emergency incident. This individ-ual provides staff assistance to the County EOC and operates under the direction and control of the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Preparedness Director / Coordinator.
- 24. Standby Status - The term used to describe state of readi-ness. Standard operating procedures have been reviewed; materiel, communications and required supplies are available and adequate for initial operations; and sufficent personnel are on hand to commence operations. Augmentation personnel necessary for sustaitad operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called.
- 25. State of Disaster Emergency - A state of disaster emergency exists whenever the Governor issues a declaration of disaster emergency. A disaster emergency shall be declared by execu-tive order or proclamation of the Governor at any time upon finding that'a disaster has occurred or that the occurrence or the threat of a disaster is imminent. The state of disaster emergency continues until the Governor finds that the threat or danger has passed and terminates it by 5 Rev.0 .

.,' e y
F:
executive order or proclamation, but no state of disaster emergency may continue for longer than 90 days unless renewed L by the Governor. The term " state of disaster emergency" is L not to be confused with the incident classifications of Site Emergency and General Emergency.
- 26. Support County - The county or counties outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility that, through
. prior agreement, will provide support to a risk county in the event of an incident. Depending on size and location, the same county may be both a risk and support county.
- 27. Traffic Control Points (TCP) - Those points established at critical road intersections for the purpose of controlling or l imiting traffic.
- 28. Transportation Providers - Owners / operators, district vehi-cles and drivers and/or contract transportation resources provided for both routine (bus) movement of students, and any special transportation resource provided during emergency conditions.
- 29. Unmet Needs - Capabilities and/or resources required to support emergency operations neither available nor provided for at the respective levels of government or by the District.
E. Objectives of the Plan The plan is presented to:
- 1. Clarify lines of authority and establish responsibilities for the protection of students and staff.
- 2. Ensure that planned actions are in consonance with Municipal, County and State RERP's.
- 3. Identify necessary resources and required personnel to assure protective actions can be implemented for The Hill School population.
- 4. Provide the basis for orientation of school staff, students and parents / guardians regarding appropriate actions during fixed facility nuclear incidents.
II. BASIC PLAN i A. General l
l Because a number of school facilities are found within the approx-
! imate 10-mile plume expsoure pathway EPZ of the Limerick Generat-ing Station, all of which might be expected to implement their 6 Rev 0 .
O
- ~
- j. a respectvie RERP's simultaneously, the safety of the school popula-tion can best be served through an emergency plan that is in consonance among all school facilities. as well as with the state and risk county plans. Accordingly, The Hill School RERP has been developed in such a manner that it will function harmoniously with these plans.
.This plan is designed to protect school students while residing at l the school or attending any school function, including classroom and extracurricular activities, special events, or any function
! sponsored by the School.
l 8. Direction and Coordination
- 1. The Headmaster shall exercise all authority granted in accordance with the policies set forth by The Hill School and
-the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
l-
- 2. The Headmaster is responsible for all school emergency plans and procedures assuring the safety of students and staff in l the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station.
l The Assistant Treasurer will assist the Headmaster and may l assume responsibility for actions to protect students in attendance / residence.
- 3. The Headmaster coordinates with the Montgomery County Office
! of Emergency Preparedness for protective response to include the direction and control of evacaution and/or sheltering of
- students and staff and the cancellation of school or special
[ activities.
- 4. All students, school buildings, school equipment, staff and contracts will remain under the supervision and control the Headmaster. The Headmaster's office will serve as the interfacing point in providing for administration, informa-tion / resource exchange and management of school services.
- 5. The Headmaster will coordinate with the Assistant Treasurer-l to assure that planninn and operations at all school build-i ings are in consonance.
l
- 6. Building staff are responsible to the Assistant Treasurer (and Headmaster) for building emergency plans, the coordina-tion of protective action among school buildings, and for the j safety of students and staff in the event of incident at the
! Limerick Generating Station.
- 7. Host school / facility services furnished by other school facilities shall be under the operational control of the supporting host school / facility.

ATTACHMENT 4 THE HILL SCHOOL
Dear Parent:
The Hill School has developed plans to protect school children in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station (a nuclear power station owned by Philadelphia Electric Company). Nonnally, classes will be suspended and/or school closed before any protective actions are necessary.
When sheltering or evacuation are necessary, The Hill School has plans for-accomplishing any required protective actions. To make the plans effective, we need your cooperation.
In the event of a nuclear incident at the Limerick Generating Station that would require the protective evacuation of The Hill School, sttdents will be safely bussed directly to a host school facility / mass care center.
The host school for our School is Catasauqua High School located in the Borough of Catasaugua approximately 2 miles NW of Bethelem, PA. Parents or legal guardians of comuting students will be requested to pick up their children at the host school building. Directions to the host school build-ing follow:
Rt. 100N to Rt. I-78 East to Airport Exit (Rt.- 987N) to Race Street.
Left on Race St. to 14th St. Right on 14th St. to Walnut St. Left on Walnut St.
Parents of resident students should be assured that The Hill School staff will care for resident students' needs during the entire evacuation process -
until students are returned to The Hill School and classes are resumed.
Resident students and any remaining commuting students (awaiting sick-up) will be cared for at this designated mass care center. Students will )e provided shelter and food, awaiting return to our school campus. The Red Cross operates the mass care center and our staff will remain with the students. If you want information regarding your son, call our temocrary headquarters, located at Catasaugua Area Senior High School, using the following telephone number / -
. This mass care center is convenient to Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton Airport.
The Hill School is concerned that any evacuation be safe and orderly, that an accurate school attendance be maintained throughout, and that parents / guardians be reunited with comuting students as quickly and conveniently as possible. The Hill School requests that parents / guardians of commuting students refrain from trying to pick-up students at the school campus when an evacuation has been ordered or appears immenent. It is important that school driveways and access roads be kept open for buses. In addition, while preparing to evacuate, it is difficult to release students and keep a current and accurate school census. Therefore, The Hill School staff will accompany students during evacuation, the host school is located along predetermined evacuation routes and close to the mass care centers for A4-1 Rev.0
o ..
the general public. School staff will remain with students until all commuting students are picked-up. It is not necessary to rush, drive safely to the host school and your son will be waiting for you under the supervision of school staff.
The Hill School students will only be released to parents or legal guardians unless prior written arrangements have been made. Please complete the attached form, designating who can pick-up your son and return the form
-to The Hill School.
If sheltering is recommended, all resident and commuting students will be sheltered in the Hill School gymnasium. Parents of commuting students should not attempt to pick-up their son during sheltering - as it is vital to remain indoors. If sheltering delays dismissal of commuting students, you will be notified by radio or telephone, as during a snow or weather emergency, etc.
In order to insure the safety of The Hill School students, I urgently request the cooperation of all parents.
Sincerely, Mr. Charles C. Watson Headmaster A4-2 Rev.0

H. Emergency Operations Center (E0C) - A specific facility eouipped for long-term operation and designated for use by the Office of Emergency Preparedness or Emergency Management Agency to direct operations in the event of an emergency condition or incident.
I. Emergency Planning Zone - A generic area defined about a nuclear facility'to facilitate off-site emergency planning and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.
J. Emergency Worker Relocation Point - Predetermined facilities to which risk emergency workers relocate and from which they respond back into the EPZ. Decontamination monitoring and mass care are provided for at these facilities.
e K. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident (hereinafter " incident") - An incident is an event or condition at a fixed nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four (4) incident classes have been identified; from the least serious UNUSUAL EVENT, ALERT, SITE EMERGENCY
-to and the mostEMERGENCY.
GENERAL serious they(are:
Note: SITE or GENERAL Emergency incident classes are not to be confused with a " Declaration of a State of Disaster. Emergency" made by the Governor in accordance with Pennsylvania Pamphlet Law 1332 of 1978-Act 323. Within each incident class there are specific emergency responses necessary to insure public. health and safety are protected. Descriptions cf the four incident. classifications are as follows:
- 1. UNUSUAL EVENT - Unusual events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No releases or radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
- 2. ALERT - Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guide exposure _ levels.
- 3. SITE EMERGENCY - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public . Any relases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the facility site boundary.
3 Draft 8
U. Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ - The area surrounding a fixed nucle.ar facility which potentially is subject to radiation exposure as a result from the of an incident facility. involving Such radioactive potential exposurematerial emanating) could involve: (a whole body external exposure to ganma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials, and (b) irhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The plume EPZ for this pathway con-sists of an area of approximately ten miles in radius around the fixed nuclear facility. The exact size and configuration of the plume exposure pathway EPZ for the Limerick Generating Station was determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demo-graphy, topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.
Also referred to as the EPZ.
V. Political Subdivision - Any county, city, borough, township or incorporated town within the Commonwealth.
W. Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
X. Protective Action Guidelines (PAGs) - A pre-established projected dose of radiation to individuals which could warrant protective action.
Y. Protective Actions - An action taken to avoid or reduce a pro--
jected dose of radiation. (Sometimes referred to as protective measures.)
- 1. Sheltering - Action taken by the public against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radioactive plume.
- 2. Selective Evacuation - The evacuation of specific segments of the population, such as pregnant women, pre-school children or the infirm.
-3. General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire population within the plume exposure pathway EPZ.
Z. Public Information Statements - Public announcements made by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) or county officials (Commissioners,OEPCoordinatorordesignatedrepresentative)via' newspaper, radio, telephone or television to explain government actions being taken to protect the public in event of any public emergency. The purpose of the announcement is to provide accurate information, prevent panic and counteract misinformation and rumors . Reference to the emergency situation itself will be made only in the context of the reasons for governmental actions, and not to provide detailed information about the incident.

will be included if school facilities are occuppied by individuals or groups not authorized / sponsored by the schools. NOTE: During vacation periods the appropriate school officials are notified and decisions.to extend closure / vacation are coordinated among the OEP, PEMA and the school officials.
JJ. Sheltering - Action by the public to protect against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and follcwing the passage of the radioactive plume.
KK. Standby - This term is used to describe the state of readiness of EBS stations, reception centers, mass care centers and other emergency personnel / resources. The meaning of the term is reserve readiness. The stations / centers or personnel are in reserve, ready to function when called upon. Standard operating procedures have been reveiwed; material, communications and required supplies are available and adequate for initial operations; and sufficient personnel are on hand (or notified and available to respond) to commence operations. Augmentation personnel necessary for sus-tained operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called. Also referred to as standby status.
LL. State of Disaster Emergency - A State of Disaster Emergency exists whenever the Governor issues a Declaration of Disaster Emergency.
A disaster emergency shall be declared by executive order or proclamation of the Governor at any time upon finding that a disaster has occurred or that the occurrence or the threat of a disaster is iminent. The State of Disaster Emergency continues until the Governor finds that-the threat or danger has passed and terminates it by executive order or proclamation, but no State of Disaster Emergency may continue for longer than 90 days unless renewed by the Governor. The term " State of Disaster Emergency" is not to be confused with the incident classifications " SITE EMERGENCY" and " GENERAL EMERGENCY."
MM. Support County - The county or counties outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a fixed nuclear facility that, through prior agreement, will provide support to a risk county in the event of an incident. Depending on size and location, the same county may be both a risk and support county.
NN. Thyroid Blocking Agent - A substance (generally Potassium Iodide -
KI) which blocks the absorption of radioactive Iodine-131 by the thyroid gland, which will be issued to emergency workers.
- 00. Traffic Control Points (TCP) - Manned posts established at critical road intersections for the purpose of controlling or limiting traffic flow. TCP's are used to control evauation movement when an errergency situation reouires it.
7 Draft 8
S. Protective actions to be taken by residents of the plume exposure pathway.EPZ could include in-place sheltering, selective evacuation or general evacuation.
C. The protective action recommended will depend, in part, on the amount of lead time available.
D. In the event of a serious incident at the Limerick Generating Station, many of the residents of the plume exposure pathway EPZ will choose to evacuate spontaneously without official order or recommendation. Many will leave the plume exposure pathway EPZ by way of routes not designated as main evacuation routes.
E. The principal means of relocation in the event of an evacuation associated with an incident at the Limerick Generating Station is the private automobile, augmented by other transportation. An average of three (3) persons per car is assumed.
F. It is anticipated that two-way highways will remain two-way (one-way roads will remain one-way).
G. At least 50% of the population at risk, in the event of an evacu-ation, will relocate to private homes or hotel / motel facilities.
For planning purposes, mass care resources will be identified for the remaining 50% of the risk population (estimated at 55,145 persons).
H. Berks, Bucks, and Lehigh Counties will assist Montgomery County and provide mass care support to the residents of the Montgomery County segment of the plume exposure pathway EPZ that cannot be provided mass care within Montgomery County.
I. Montgomery County's unmet needs will be met on a timely basis by State or other resources.
J. Areas up to 50 miles downwind may be affected by the dispersion of radioactive material from an incident, including dairy herds and foodstuffs. These areas will be identified at the time of an incident in order to provide appropriate protective measures.
K. Dosimeters and radioprotective drugs will be pre-distributed to the twenty-one (21) municipalities and designated health care facilities in the County located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ.

III. DESCRIPTION _
SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Public Alert System of the Limerick Generating Station consists of 165 sirens. Seventy-three (73) of these sirens are located within the County and the EPZ and are remotely controlled from the E0C. Sirens provide the audible signal to alert the public to tune to the local alert and warning (EBS) station (KYW 1060 AM) for information. The siren system is an attention getting signal.
The public alert system will be activated whenever pertinent information will reassure the public of their safety, the public is to be informed of plant status that may lead them to take specific actions, or specific
! actions (which may include protection action) are to be taken by the public.
System Detail It is possible to activate one or all of the sirens in the county.
Each siren site responds with status data to indicate an acknowledgement of the command, report siren activation or malfunction and indicate any power failure.
Each siren is equipped to provide the capability of sounding the steady l
three to five minute " Alert" signal and the " Attack" or rising / falling
[
signal. A special " time-out" timer is included to prevent a siren from . functioning for more than eight minutes continuously.
In the event of any system failure, the siren site will relay a message to the central control point at the county EOC so route alerting can be implemented.

APPENDIX C-1 PUBLIC ALERT SYSTEM Introduction The Public Alert System of the Limerick Generating Station consists of 165 sirens. Seventy-three (73) of these sirens are remotely controlled by the County and provide an audible signal to alert the public to tune to the local alert and warning Emergency Broadcast system station (KYU 1060 AM) for information. The siren system is an attention getting signal. It is not an evacuation alarm.
Activation The Public Alert System will be activated whenever pertinent information will reassure the public of their safety, the public is to be informed of plant status that may lead them to take specific actions, or specific actions (which may include protection action) are to be taken by the public.
Sectors / Sites The Public Alert System is divided into three distinct sectors corresponding to the three county areas of the EPZ. Siren sites are identified on site maps.
System Detail Each siren (Federal Thunderbolt Model 1,000) site is a separate and distinct address. It is possible to activate one or all of the sirens in each county.
To activate all 165 sirens within the EPZ, the three counties must coordinate activation.
Control The selectivity of sites is obtained by the use of an interactive (two-way) digitally coded status and control unit for each siren, using a 32-piece or " bit" word to command a response. Each of the three counties have a
" Central Station" which sends the digital command word or words to the siren sites of that county. The siren site (s) receive the digital signal, verify the data and then react accordingly.
Upon receipt of the command or when " interrogated" by the " central station",
the site responds with status data to indicate an acknowledgement of the command, report siren activation, malfunction or any power failure.

APPENDIX C-3 PUBLIC ALERT / NOTIFICATION SYSTEM OBJECTIVES AND TESTING A. When it is necessary Montgomery County activates the alert / notification system to alert the public within 15 minutes.
B. The coverage objectives for the alert / notification system are:
- 1. To be able to provide both an alert signal and informational or instructional message to the population throughout the EPZ, within 15 minutes.
- 2. To assure alert / notification coverage of essentially 100% of the population within five miles of the site.
- 3. To assure essentially 100% coverage within 45 minutes of the popu-lation who may not have received the initial alert / notification, within the entire EPI.
C. The testing requirements for the alert / notification system are:
- 1. Siren interrogation (silent test) on a 12-hour schedule.
- 2. A growl test quarterly and when preventive maintenance is performed.
- 3. A complete cycle test of the alert signal annually to include broadcast of a test message over the county alert and warning (EBS) station, KYW, 1060 AM.
D. Montgomery County will provide PEMA with an annual statement certifying that the silent and growl tests were performed.
C-3-1 Draft 8
APPENDIX C-5 ROUTE ALERTING Route alerting is a method of alerting the general public within the EPZ in the event of public alert system failure.
Route alerting is a municipal responsibility and is outlined in municipal RERP's.
The County notifies the municipalities of any malfunction of the public alert system.
The size, location and configuration of each route alert zone is based upon population density, existing roadways and traffic flow, municipal boundaries, fire-service jurisdictions and the location and number of sirens. Emergency service units travel along the roads in each route alert zone and use public address systems to notify residents.
C-5-1 Draft 8
APPENDIX C-6 RECALL SYSTEM The automated, computerized dialing system (RECALL system) is a computer based telephone dialing system.
The system is located at the E0C and is programmed with the telephone numbers andpre-recordedmessage(s). Four (4) lines are utilized.
The system contacts the parties by telephone, provides a pre-recorded message and awaits an acknowledgement code (optional). A management report indicates the calls which have been made and their status (no answer, answer, busy, etc.) Busy lines are re-dialed.

APPENDIX L-5 ACTIVATION OF MASS CARE CENTERS I. ACTIVATION ORDER Activation of one or more mass care centers is coordinated by the OEP Coordinator. The Mass Care Coordinator notifies the Southeastern Penn-sylvania Chapter of the American Red Cross and/or appropriate Mass Care Center Managers / staff.
4 II. ACTIONS OF MASS CARE CENTER MANAGERS A. Operation and staffing of mass care centers is an accepted respon-sibility of the American Red Cross. Operations are in accordance with the Red Cross policies and procedures.
B. A copy of the " Mass Care Agreement" between the Southeastern Penn-sylvania Chapter of the American Red Cross and Montgomery County is maintained on file by the OEP.
C. Pets are not allowed in the human living area of mass care centers.
The Mass Care Center Manager may attempt to temporarily provide
, -for pets in a separate outside area or shelteree's vehicles with pet owners required to provide for their care. Guide dogs for-the blind are not considered to be in this category, and they will remain with their master in the center. Where applicable, agree-ments made with the Humane Society for sheltering pets are activated or shelterees are provided information regarding local kennels, animal hospitals, etc. (available from Montgomery County OEP -
Rumor Control Center, telephone: 631-9700.)
III. SPONTANEOUSLY ACTIVATED MASS CARE CENTERS In times of emergency, it is quite possible that a predesignated mass care center, or even a facility not so designated, might be opened spontaneously. When that happens, it might be desirable to continue its operation. Upon request, the Red Cross may be able to provide a Mass Care Center Manager and assume responsibility from that point on for the management and funding. It should be made known to the l person (s) responsible for the facility that Red Cross management must
, be accepted in order for the Red Cross to fund its operation, and any unusual costs incurred before the Red Cross assumes management respon-sibility are not the responsibility of the Red Cross. It is desirable to record this understanding in writing if possible, and to include appropriate notations in the log.

Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Plan) personnel with pertinent logistics information related to the disposal of radiation contaminated waste materials generated from the general public and offsite emergency workers; predistributes dosimetry and KI to county emergency management agencies and specifies implemen-tation of comprehensive inventory-maintenance program for those items; collects TLDs and appropriate records from the county after each incident; assists the Department of Health with the distri-bution of potassium iodide.
C. Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP)
The Bureau of Radiation Protection is the state agency that will conduct the technical tasks of incident assessment and air moni-toring for detection and definition of the radioactive plume. BRP calculates projected radiation doses to the whole body and thyroid and reports these projections, as well as acutal radiation exposure rates and total doses received by affected areas, to PEMA. BRP recommends protective actions based on its information and analy-sis of the situation. BRP recommends protective actions based on its information and analysis of the situation. BRP interprets the Department of Environmental Resource's analysis of environmental, agricultural and foodstuffs sampling, and reports these findings as appropriate to PEMA, Department of Health, and Department of Agriculture. BRP collates the state, federal and licensee data for comprehensive technical analysis and transmits its information to PEMA who, in turn, relays appropriate information through emergency management channels to county and municipal EMA personnel.
D. TLD Service Contractor During an incident and at PEMA's request, the TLD service contractor will conduct mechanical " reading" of the TLDs used by emergency workers. The contractor will relay the readings and related infor-mation to BRP or PEMA, for transmittal, in summary, to the OEP.
E. Municipal Governments Each municipal government within the EPZ will receive (from the County OEP), inventory, and store dosimeters and KI. Municipal-ities will assist the County OEP by issuing dosimeters and KI to emergency workers assigned within their area, by the SITE .
EMERGENCY classification.
F. Emergency Workers In addition to the performance of assigned tasks, emergency workers are responsible for utilizing their dosimeters, K!, and Dosimetry-K!

o dose during the emergency for total radiation dose received; the TLD is an independently read (by the TLD service contractor) device that is generally considered to be more dependable, accurate and precise than the self-reading dosimeters. Each emergency worker is responsible for following the dosimetry procedures, including record-keeping. Appendix M-2 sets forth guidance and procedures related to dosimetry for emergency workers. Appendix M-3 is a distribution list which specifies the amount of dosimeters *, dosimeter chargers units of KI (see paragraph B below), and survey meters (see paragraph V.B. above) for each particular emergency organfza -
tion.

- 3. Federal and state government personnel are expected to provide their own dosimeters and radioprotective drugs.
B. Radioprotective Drugs
- 1. Theaccumulationofradioiodines(radioactiveisotopesofthe common element iodine) in the thyroid gland is a potential threat during a nuclear power plant incident. Potassium iodide (KI) is a drug that acts as a blocking agent to radiciodine absorption, preventing the radiciodine from accumulating in the thyroid gland.
- 2. Potassiumiodide(KI)tabletsaredistributedalongwith dosimeters to the OEP and risk municipalities. Individual workers will receive KI at SITE EMERGENCY. Liquid KI is distributed by Pennsylvania Department of Health to risk hospitals and designated nursing homes for use by staff and patients.
- 3. Potassium iodide (KI) should be taken only on the advice of the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health. General information for the emergency worker regarding KI and protection of the thyroid gland is included in Appendix M-2 to this Annex.
- Presently there are insufficient numbers of dosimeters on hand. PEMA is in the process of acquiring the dosimeters needed.

- 3. When completed at a decontamination station, all the same .
procedures for decontamination, as specified for the general public, apply to emergency workers--with the exception of the thyroid check. Emergency workers should be monitored for accumulation of radioiodine in the thyroid gland (reference Appendix 1,Section II.B).
F. Radiological Training, Inventory, Maintetance and Record Keeping With the assistance of PEMA, the County CEP is responsible for coordinating dosimetry training including dosimeter charging, dosimeter reading and recording of information.
Equipment and KI inventory and maintenance procedures, with appropriate records, are specified in Appendix M-4 to this Annex.
Inventory control during the emergency will consist of a trail of accountability from each agency issuing equipment, through the individual end user of the equipment and/or KI. Forms and proce-dures for this purpose are included in Appendix M-2.
VII. PROTECTION FOR INSTITUTIONAL PERSONNEL A. The evacuation time for the risk hospitals and designated nursing homes (see Appendix M-3) is assumed to be greater than that for the general population. Consequently, the staff and medical complement of these health care facilities are considered emer-gency workers, and therefore are provided KI and dosimeters.
l B. Dosimeters and liquid KI is distributed to all hospitals and l
designated nursing homes located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ. Sufficient units for 100% of the patients (KI only) and 50%
of the staff, for a fourteen day period, are maintained. The
- OEP is responsible for notifying the institutions when the Secretary of the Department of Health advises the use of KI.
! C. Decontamination of health care facility staff and patients /resi-dents can be accomplished by utilizing the facility's own capa-bility and/or that of the host facility, decontamination stations for emergency workers, or mass care centers (as available). The OEP will coordinate these arrangements, as the situation develops.

l APPENDIX M-1 DECONTAMINATION MONITORING PROCEDURES
- 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND CRGANIZATION A. Decontamination Monitoring of the Public In the event of a fixed nuclear facility incident, the public and emergency workers may have to be individually monitored to ascer-tain whether or not the individual is contaminated with a radio-active substance. If a person is found to be contaminated, then he/she must be decontaminated. BRP will issue a statement indicating whether or not decontamination monitoring is required and PEMA will send this message through emergency management channels.
Decontamination monitoring teams located at mass care centers and will perform decontamination monitoring upon request regardless of whether it is required.
B. Organization at Mass Care Centers
- 1. Mass care centers for evacuees will serve as points where decontamination monitoring and decontamination procedures will be conducted. When decontamination monitoring is required, evacuees, upon arrival at the mass care center, and, if necessary, will be decontaminated after which they will be admitted to the " general living" portion of the mass care center. Trained decontamination monitoring teams will conduct the monitoring for radiological contamination, carry out decontamination procedures, and complete associated records. This activity, while falling' under the overall coordination of the mass care center manager, is not an integral part of that op'eration. Decontamination monitoring teams take direction from the Montgomery County OEP Radio-logical Officer. Decontamination monitoring of evacuees should be completed as soon as possible; decontami..ation monitoring of personal belongings (i.e., clothing, personal articles, vehicles) can be accomplished after the evacuees have been processed.
- 2. Decontamination monitoring teams will organize their areas and traffic ficw patterns so that contaminated persons and those to be monitored will not mix with the contamination-free individuals already admitted to the " general living" section of the mass care center. For example, persons will be sent to the decontamination area (showers) by a route that will not place them in contact with contamination-free areas.
Showers used for decontamination will not be available for general use until they are decontaminated.
M-1-1 Draft 8
E a .s
- 4. Inventory, maintenance, and property accountability with regard to dosimeters, survey meters, and KI are described in Appendix 4 to this Annex.
F. Decontamination Monitoring Record Keeping Decontamination personnel will be responsible for completing a
" Decontamination Monitoring Report Form" (reference Attachment A to this_ Appendix) for each individual with a reading of 0.05 mR/h '
(milliroentgens per hour) or more above background, which is the '
action level set by BRP indicating that decontamination of the individual is necessary. The form will be completed, signed by the monitor at each of the ste
- after first decontamination, (ps [(1) initial monitoring, (2)3)aftersecond medical referral.] Two copies of the form will be prepared. One '
copy will be given to the individual when decontamination is completed or the individual is sent to an appropriate medical facility. The original will be retained by the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Preparedness in an historical file. The Montgomery County Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) will make available these forms to BRP, if requested by BRP.
G. Progress Reports on Decontamination Monitoring Decontamination team chiefs should verbally report at two hour i intervals to the OEP Coordinator on the results of monitoring 3 (utilizing normal emergency worker decontamination stations or
- mass care center communications capability). The report shall include the following cumulative data: number of persons moni- '
tored; number contaminated; number decontaminated; number, referred j to a medical facility (for radiation decontamination / treatment);
the highest reading (above 0.05 mR/h) on any particular indivi- ,
dual; and any unusual or particularly notable findings. The county'is responsible for consolidating this information and -i reporting it, immediately to PEMA, who in turn will relay the l information to BRP.
II. PROCEDURES FOR DECONTAMINATION MONITORING TEAMS A. Decontamination Procedures i Monitors performing decontamination of people should follow these !
procedures: 7
- 1. Select a reception location for conducting the monitoring !
operation. Precautions must be-taken to prevent contamina-tion of the area.
- 2. Use the CD V-700. Attach the headphone. This allows the monitor to observe the position of the probe and better control it while monitoring. The headphone responds more quickly to changes in radiation level than the meter. l M-1-3 Draft 8 l

- 2. Articles which are machine washable should be laundered with a conventional detergent, line dried in a contamination free area or machine dried, and retained until they can be monitored.
Water repellent items may be scrubbed with water and deter 3 ant, and retained until monitored.
- 3. The Montgomery County OEP is responsible for arranging for a laundry facility dedicated to washing of contaminated clothing or arrange for other special handling of the clothing, if necessary (reference Section G, immediately below), based on guidance provided by BRP.
F. Decontamination Procedures for Supplies, Instruments and Equipment
- 1. The item in question shculd be monitored first to determine the extent and area of contamination by thoroughly going over the object with the CD V-700 probe (with open shield) about two inches from the surface. Decontamination of these articles is generally accomplished by wiping or washing to the extent necessary to remove the radiocontaminants.
- 2. The OEP is responsible for arranging for radiation monitoring of vehicles and for decon-tamination. At mass care centers, monitoring teams will initially direct their efforts to the evacuees as described in (a) and (b) above. When time permits, the monitoring teams can monitor the vehicles of the evacuees where they are parked. Generally, external monitoring of vehicles will be sufficient; however, inside monitoring will also be done for those vehicles found to be externally con-taminated and th' m vehicles used by persons found to be contaminated. Suitable car washing arrange-ments can be made for external decontamination depending upon the number of vehicles contaminated and amount of radiocontamination. The OEP will seek the advice of BRP, through PEMA, in deciding what measures will be effective and expeditious. Vehicles with contamination in the interiors will be impounded and BRP must be consulted, through PEMA, on how to decontaminate these vehicles before return to their owners.
G. Disposal of Contaminated Wastes
- 1. As described above, clothing and similar materials as well as miscellaneous equipment and vehicles can be decontaminated.
Where cleaning materials and other items cannot be success-fully decontaminated, special handling is necessary,
- 2. Contaminated waste materials should be packaged in a plastic bag, tied securely at the top, and placed in a metal container with a snug fitting lid (garbage can) until it is laundered.
If any material cannot be decontaminated by laundering, place it in the same type of plastic bag and container and store in M-1-7 Draft 8

! Note: PEMA provides sufficient forms for OEP operations. A copy of the fonn is on file at E0C.
M-1-A-1 Draft 8
l l
l B. Property Control Property accountability must be maintained in the distribution process. The " Receipt Form for Dosimetry-Survey Meters-KI" (see Attachment E) is designed for transferral of quantities of equip-ment from agency to agency, such as from the county to municipal-ities and decontamination teams, and from municipalities to emergency response organizations (fire, police, ambulance).
" Acknowledgment of Receipt by Emergenc and Survey Meters" (see Attachment F) y Workers is designed for Dosimetry-KI to expedite transferral of the equipment-KI to individual users. Municipal EOCs, fire companies, police departments, ambulance services and
~
decontamination monitoring teams should use this form (Attachment F) to maintain accountability when distributing the equipment-XI to their individual emergency workers.
Upon termination of an incident, all equipment and unused KI must be returned to the Montgomery County OEP or municipality of jurisdiction.
C. Control TLD's
- 1. In the event of an incident, the OEP will retrieve from the municipality of jurisdiction or health care facility, and retain the designated " Control TLDs." Control TLDs are equal in number to about 5% of the total amount allotted for distribution. Each " control TLD" is so labeled and the serial numbers are not in the same sequential batch as the TLDs meant for distribution to emergency workers. As coordi-nated by PEMA, the control TLDs will be forwarded to the TLD service contractor. The OEP, municipality of jurisdiction and health care facility, will complete the " Control TLDs Form" (reference Attachment B) and forward it with the control TLDs.
- 2. The purpose of " Control TLDs" is to allow measurement of a
" baseline" of radiation (background radiation) that the TLDs had been exposed to at the time the OEP, municipality of jurisdiction or health care facility distributed TLDs, in reaction to the incident. The measurement of the accumulated background radiation as measured by the control TLDs will be subtracted from the reading obtained from each emergency worker in that county. This procedure can be characterized as a " mathematical zeroing" of the TLD. (TheCDV-730s DCA-622s and CD V-742s will be zeroed by the user organiza-tions as they are put into use.)
- 3. At the time of the inciderft, the OEP, municipality of juris-diction or health care facilities will ensure that the control TLDs are not exposed to radiation other than back-
- ground radiation. Specificall stored (Logan Square Building)y, since outside the County the plume expo- TLDs are sure pathway EPZ, the health care facilities and the M-2-2 Draft 8
severe shortness of breath which requires immediate medical attention. !
- 4. The effectiveness of KI as a blocking agent is createst if adminsitered before the time of exposure to radioiodine, but some exposure saving can be obtained by administration shortly after exposure. Information on Thyro-Block and on the liquid KI are included in Attachments C and D to this Appendix.
B. Pennsylvania Department of Health Policies on KI
- 1. KI in tablet form is available to emergency workers (emergency management agencies, police forces, fire companies, ambulance services, and farmers keeping livestock). Those emergency worker organizations and institutions that receive KI protection are specified in Appendix 3.
NOTE: PA DOH will be responsible to distribute KI to hospitals and designated nursing homes in the EPZ.
- 2. The Secretary of the Deparment of Health is charged with the decision to use KI during an incident. KI should be taken only on the advice of the Secretary of the Department of Health.
The Secretary's advice will be disseminated to emergency workers through emergency management channels. Upon taking KI, the emergency worker should record this information on the Dosimetry-KI Report Form (see Attachment A to this Appendix).
- 3. The Department of. Health will provide the public with infor-mation concerning KI.
IV. DOSIMETER READINGS, RECORD KEEPING AND PROTECTIVE ACTION OPTIONS A. Dosimetry Reading Procedures
- 1. Dosimeters should be worn in the pocket of an outer garment from the time of issue until the worker is dismissed from duty or until PEMA says dosimeters are no longer necessary.
In no case should the TLD be worn by more than one person since there is no way of' ascertaining later how much of the dose recorded on the TLD was received by each individual if more than one person was involved.
- 2. For practical purposes each Roentgen registered on either of the self-reading dosimeters is to be interpreted to mean that the worker has received a corresponding number of rem, e.g.,
l l
M-2-4 Draft 8
upper . limit of 75 rem whole body dose for life saving missions, i.e., subject to special approval, conditions, and measures.
Therefore, persons who volunteer for a life saving mission may exceed the 25 rem whole body limit set for emergency workers, but in no case may they exceed 75 rem.
Elected officials in authority may authorize, in advance, volunteer emergency workers to exceed the protective action guidelines (25 rem whole body exposure) to a maximum of 75 ram for a life-saving mission. This advance authorization is intended to avoid delay in performin saving mission (reference Attachment . H)gmargin A wide a necessary of life safety should be maintained to avoid risk from possible radiation exposure adverse long term health effects (see paragraph C below). Decision makers caused by(elected officials) should consider the information in paragraph C below and also ensure that the following conditions have been met:
- a. The mission is of life saving importance.
- b. Alternative solutions have been exhausted.
I
- c. Emergency workers should be healthy adult male volunteers, preferably over 45 years of age.
I
- d. The emergency workers selected should be person whose normal duties might involve such missions, i.e., policemen and firemen with suitable protective clothing and respiratory equipment.
- e. The mission is accomplished in the least amount of " stay time."
- f. The emergency workers are knowledgeable of and accept the increased risk of exceeding the 25 rem PAG.
C. Increased Risks Due to Radiation Exposure
- Information concerning the possible consequences of emergency workers' exposure to radiation during a fixed nuclear incident is organized below into three categories - (1) immediate somatic effects, (2) long term somatic effects, and (3) genetic effects.
Somatic is an adjective pertaining to characteristics of or effects on the body, as distinguished from genetic characteristics or genetic effects which are manifested in offspring (descen-
, dants).

_7 forms and TLD's to return to the OEP (at the Courthouse Annex,
! Norristown, PA) who in turn will deliver the TLDs and forms to PEMA. PEMA will subsequently deliver the forms and TLDe i from all counties to BRP and send the TLDs to the TLD service contractor for reading. All dosimetry records will be forwarded to BRP for the purposes of record keeping, analysis, reporting and storage.
F
- 2. BRP will retain all original copies and will be the permanent i record keeper of the completed Dosimetry-KI Report Forms along with BRP's explanation of each, the TLD service contrac-tor generated information and all related material. The records of individuals will be kept confidential.
- 3. BRP will use the Dosimetry-KI Report Form-to select TLDs for immediate reading. The highest priority will be given to TLDs worn by persons whose self-reading dosimetry indicates 25 R or more, or where medical authority has requested immediate reading, or where other circumstances warrant. In
. these cases, PEMA will expedite delivery of the TLDs to the TLD service contractor and readings will be received within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after and contractor's receipt of the TLDs. BRP will 1
promptly relay the readings, with their interpretation to the ,

D. Scope
~
This plan outlines the basic procedures West Vincent Township will follow in the event of an incident at Limerick Generating Station.
It complies with federal guidelines and details municipal actions in accordance with Annex E of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Disaster Operations Plan and the Chester County Radiological Emergency Response Plan.
1 Draft 8 e
O L O' -
- L' '
All of West Vincent Township is within the plume exposure pathway EPZ (reference Attachment A and Attachment J). The approximate population is-1992. i
)
E. Definitions Some of the terminology presented in this document, or which one might encounter during a radiological incident, is somewhat unique. Accordingly, for a better understanding of the RERP it is essential that emergency response personnel familiarize themselves with the following definitions:
- 1. Access Control Point (ACP) - Control Points manned primarily by State or municipal police, augmented when necessary by the National Guard, established around the perimeter of the plume exposure pathway EPZ on roads leading into it when it is evacuated or occupants are taking shelter for the purpose of controlling access into the area.
- 2. Activate / Activation - To place a specific plan, or portion thereof, into action.
- 3. Amateur Radio - Licensed volunteer radio amateur communications personnel affiliated with county emergency management organization. Such organizations include Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) and Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES).
- 4. Central Resource Receiving Point - A predesignated facility operated by the county and located outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ and suitable for the reception and distribution of supplies and equipment.
5 5. Dosimeters - Pocket-sized devices that measure accumulated exposure to radiation.
- 6. Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Announcements - Official announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or information from the County Commissioners, or their designated representative, to the permanent and transient residents of the county.
Announcements are made over the legally designated EBS Network. Restriction of the use of EBS announcements does
% not preclude appropriate use of newspapers, radio and tele'-
vision for public information statements.
- 7. Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) - A generic area defined about a nuclear facility to facilitate offsite emergency planning and develop a significant response base. It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.
- a. Plume Exposure Pathway - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which potentially is subject to radiation exposure as a result of an incident involving 2 Draft 8 e
e w . , . , - -
radioactive material emanating from the facility. Such potential exposure could involve: (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 EPZ for this pathway consists of an area of approximately ten miles in radius around the fixed nuclear facility. (The exact size and configuration of each plume exposure pathway EPZ for the respective fixed nuclear facility in Pennsylvania were determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by c.onditions such as demography, topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries).
- b. Ingestion Exposure Pathway - That area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which, as a result of a release of radioactive material, is a potential source of exposure through the ingestion of water and foods, such as milk or fresh vegetables originating there. This EPZ consists of a circular area of 50 miles radius around the fixed nuclear facility.
- 8. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident - An event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four incident classes have been developed to facilitate planning and responses:
- a. Unusual Event - An occurrence which indicates a potential degradation of the level of safety of the facility. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
- b. Alert - An occurrence which involves actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the facility. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guideline exposure levels,
- c. Site Emergency - An occurrence which involves actual or likely major failures of facility functions needed for the protection of the public. Radioactive releases are not expected to exceed the EPA protective action guideline exposure . levels except near the site boundary.
- d. General Emergency - An occurrence which involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment integrity.
Releases can reasonably be expected to exceed EPA protective action guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.
3 Draft 8 l
l NOTE: The incident classifications of Site and General Emergency should not be confused with a gubernatorial declaration of " State of Disaster Emergency." See definition below.
- 9. Mass Care Center - Fixed facilities suitable for providing emergency lodging for victims of a disaster left temporarily homeless and capable of providing all essential social services. Feeding may be done within a Mass Care Center (in suitable dining facilities) or nearby,
- 10. Mobilize - The act of bringing a staff, department, or agency to the strength required to accomplish its mission on a 24-hour basis; including the pre-positioning or movement of equipment or personnel.
- 11. Municipality - For the purposes of this plan, the terms
" municipality" or " municipal government" are defined as referring, singularly or collectively, to cities, boroughs, townships and incorporated towns within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
- 12. Notify - To inform or report the occurrence of an incident.
f
- 13. Parent County - The county in which the facility is physically located.
- 14. Potassium Iodide (chemical symbol KI) - A drug that offers some protection to the thyroid gland from injury due to accumulation of radioiodine.
- 15. Protective Action - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation. Some of the basic actions are:
- a. Sheltering - Action taken by the public to take advantage of the protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, and shutting off all sources of outside air during and following the passage of the radioactive plume. Motorists should close all windows and vents,
- b. General Evacuation - The relocation of the entire population from the plume exposure pathway EPZ.
- c. Selective Evacuation - The relocation of specific elements of the population, such as pregnant women, pre-school children or the infirm.
4 Draft 8 O
16.
Protective Action Guide (PAG) - A pre-established projected radiation dose to individuals which warrants protective action.
17.
Projected Radiation Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not taken.
18.
RACES or ARES - Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service or Amateur Radio Emergency Service. Licensed amateur radio operators who are trained and volunteer to provide back-up radio communications management as requested by state and county emergency agencies.
19.
_ REACT - Radio Emergency Action Citizens Team. Licensed citizens band radio o management agencies. perators affiliated with county emergency 20.
RECALL - The RECALL system is a computer based telephone notification system developed specifically for emergency services and emergency management applications.
Within the application for the Limerick radiological emer-gency response plans (RERP), the system is located at the County Department of Emergency Services and is programmed with the telephone numbers and message (s) of the key individuals, institutions and special facilities which require notification during the implementation of the RERP.
The system is activated by the county and it sequentially and simultaneously contacts the parties by telephone, provides a pre-recorded message and awaits an acknowledgement code. The system then provides a management report to indicate the calls which have been made, the status (no answer, answer, busy,etc.)andotherinformation. If the called party does not furnish the acknowledgement code, the system willcontinue to call the party until the code is received or another parameter is reached. Busy lines will be re-tried and alternate numbers used for after hours or in the event a contact cannot be made at the primary number due to busy, no-answer, or failure to acknowledge.
21.
Reception Center - A predesignated site outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ through which evacuees will pass to obtain information and directions to Mass Care Centers.
22.
Risk County - A county with area located partially or wholly within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility.
l 5
Draft 8 6
- 23. Risk Municipality - A municipality with area located partially or wholly within the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility.
5 24. Route Alerting - As a supplementary alert procedure route alerting will be conducted as necessary each time the public alert system is activated. Route alerting is a municipal responsibility and is to be accomplished by pre-designated route alert teams travelling alon delivering the following message:g pre-assigned routes "There is an emergency at the Limerick Generating Station; please tune to your Emergency Broadcast Station."
- 25. Standby Status - The term used to describe state of readiness. Standard operating procedures have been reviewed; material, communications and required supplies are available and adequate for initial operations; and sufficient personnel are on hand to commence operations. Augmentation personnel necessary for sustained operations are alerted and ready to report for duty when called.
- 26. State of Disaster Emergency - A state of disaster emergency exists whenever the Governor issues a declaration of disaster emergency. A disaster emergency shall be declared by executive order or proclamation of the Governor at any time upon finding that a disaster has occurred or that the occurrence or the threat of a disaster is imminent. The state of disaster emergency continues until the Governor finds that the threat or danger has passed and terminates it by executive order or proclamation, but no state of disaster emergency may continue for longer than 90 days unless renewed by the Governor. The term " state of disaster emergency" is not to be confused with the emergency classification terms called Site Emergency and General Emergency.
- 27. Support County - The county or counties outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ of a nuclear facility that, through prior agreement, will provide support to a risk county in the event of an incident. Depending on size and location, the same county may be both a risk and support county.
5 28. Traffic Control Points (TCP) - Manned posts established at critical road intersections for the purpose of controlling or limiting traffic flow. TCPs are used to control evacuation movement when an emergency situation requires it.
- 29. Unmet Needs - Capabilities and/or resources required to support emergency operations but neither available nor provided at the respective levels of government.
6 Draft 8

L relative, friend or neighbor who can provide them with information being provided over the EBS network l (reference Attachment E Tab 2).
E. Protective Actions
- 1. Sheltering The nature of an incident may be such that the most effective measure to protect the public would be to have them go indoors, stay away from windows and doors, and shut off all sources of outside air (air conditioning, vents, etc.);
motorists would be instructed to close windows and vents.
- 2. Evacuation Evacuation is a protective action option which involves movement of the population from the plume exposure pathway EPZ. It may be accomplished on a selective or general basis,
- a. Selective Evacuation Selective evacuation involves .the relocation of specific categories of persons, such as pregnant women, ,
pre-school children, and others who may be highly susceptible to the hazards of radiation.
- b. General Evacuation General evacuation involves the relocation of the entire population from the plume exposure pathway EPZ.
- c. Authorization and Control 14 Oraft 8

Unmet transportation resource requirements will be reported to the county transportation officer.
(3) Individuals without transportation should contact the West Vincent Township E0C at 827-7932 to ,
arrange for pickup.
(4) Transportation resources will be assembled at the Municipal staging area located at the EOC (reference Attachment Q). An emergency worker will be assigned to each vehicle for the purpose of providing directions to the assigned residences of
' those persons requiring assistance. These individuals will be taken to the designated l
15 Draft 8 ;
reception center; from there they will be taken to a mass care center.
(5) Transportation requirements for hospitals, nursing homes and public and private schools have been prearranged and will be coordinated by the county.
Transportation resources allocated for evacuation of the aforementioned facilities are identified in the county RERP and are not considered as municipal transportation resources.

They will remain under school supervision until picked up by parents or guardians. These host schools have been planned to coincide with main evacuation routes.
(3) Students whose homes are inside but who attend school outside the emergency planning zone will not be sent home if a protective action is advised.
They will remain at the school they attend under school supervision until picked up by parents or guardians.
(4) Specific information concerning host schools will be provided to parents by school officials,
- h. Health Care Facilities Separate plans have been developed for hospitals and nursing homes, located within the Plume Exposure Pathway 16 Draft 8
EPZ. A copy can be found in the Chester County E0C.
There are no health care facilities located in West Vincent Township at this time.
- i. Access Control Points / Area Security In the event of either protective action recommendations (sheltering and/or evacuation), Access Control Points will be established around the perimeter of the EPZ.
These points are described in the Chester County RERP.
There are, however, no ACP's in West Vincent Township.
Additionally, conditions permitting (based upon information received from the County E0C), police personnel will provide security patrols throughout the municipality during the emergency.
- j. Emergency Fuel Supplies Designated gar, stations along main evacuation routes will be open to provide emergency supplies of gasoline and diesel fuel to evacuees. A list of these stations is maintained at the County. The Pennsylvania National

(2) In the event a fire is reported in West Vincent Township, the department having jurisdiction, if available and conditions permitting, will be dispatched by the County E0C. Normal turnout gear should provide adequate external contamination protection; respiratory protection should prevent i
the inhalation of radioactive material. See Annex M of the County RERP for additional information.
17 Draft 8 e
O e
- m. Agriculture If evacuation becomes necessary, the Chester County DES, through the USDA County Agent, will certify farmers as >
emergency workers. This will allow them to return to the EPZ in order that they may tend to their livestock.
See Annex 0 of the County RERP for additional information.
F. Radiological Exposure Control If it is determined that a potential radiation hazard exists from an incident at the Limerick Generating Station, steps must be taken to protect both the public and emergency workers.
Procedures for radiological exposure control are addressed in Annex M of the County RERP. Municipal actions relevant to radiological exposure control follow:
- 1. Municipal Emergency Workers
- a. When advised by the Chester County DES that a Site Emergency has been declared, municipal emergency workers will be issued dosimeters and potassium iodide (KI), a radioprotective drug. A unit of dosimetry-KI contains the following:
- one (1) CD V 730 or DCA-622 self-reading dosimeter having a scale of 0 to 20R.
- one (1) CD V 742 self-reading dosimeter having a scale of 0 to 200R.
- one (1) thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) which is a machine-read crystalline dosimeter mounted in a card.
- one (1) Dosimetry-KI Report Form (Attachment K).
- one (1) bottle containing a fourteen day supply of potassium iodide (KI) tablets.
- b. PEPA will supply, when available, the County DES with enough dosimeters and KI for designated emergency workers within its portion of the plume exposure pathway EPZ. These resources will be predistributed to the Township. Attachme~nt M lists emergency worker dosimetry-KI resource requirements.
L c. Distribution of the dosimeters and KI is as follows:
(1) Upon notification of an Alert (or any higher classification of emergency should it be initial 18 Draft 8
- 4
r notification), the equipment will be prepared for distribution to municipal emergency workers.
(Reference Attachment L).
r (2) Upon notification of a Site Emergency, dosimeters and KI will be distributed to municipal emergency response organizations identified in Attachment M.
A signed recei organization (pt shall be obtained from each reference Attachment L). Emergency organizations will maintain property control by having each worker sign for the property (reference Attachment N).
(3) Emergency workers will take KI only upon the direction of the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, notification of which will be received through emergency management channels, d.
Dosimetry Reading Procedures and Related Actions (1) Dosimeters are to be worn in the pocket of an outer garment from the time of issue until the worker is dismissed from duty.
In no case should the TLD be worn by more than one person since there is no way of ascertaining later how much of the dose recorded on the TLD was received by each individual if more than one person was involved.
(2)
Each emergency worker is responsible for completing the Dosimetry /KI Report Fom (reference Attachment K) and for reading the self-reading dosimeters at least once every thirty minutes. The protective action guide for whole body exposure used by BRP is 25 rem. Therefore an emergency worker should seek to be relieved or complete the assigned task and then evacuate to an emergency worker decontamination station before receiving 25 R.
(3) Life Saving Missions - If a life saving mission should become necessary, the West Vincent Township elected official in charge may, under conditions shown below, authorize volunteer emergency workers to exceed the established 25 rem whole body limit.
In no instance, however, should the emergency ,,
worker be authorized to exceed an absolute upper .
limit of 75 rems. This authorization may be given in advance to avoid the possibility of delay in performing life saving missions. When authorizing volunteer emergency workers to exceed the 25 rem limit, the elected officials should ensure that the following conditions are met:
19 Draft 8

(c) The emergency workers selected are persons whose normal duties might involve such missions, e.g., policemen and firemen with 1 -i suitable protective equipment. clothing and respiratory (d) The mission will be accomplished in the least amount of " stay time."
(e) The emergency workers are knowledgeable of and accept the increased risk in exceeding the 25 rem limit.
e.
W, Upon completion of emergency tasks during a contaminating incident, each emergency worker is to report to a decontamination station. Emergency workers in West Vincent Township are to report to Lionville Fire Company, Village Avenue, Lionville, PA. Specifics relevant to monitoring and decontamination are contained in Annex M of the County RERP.
f.
When the emergency is terminated, all dosimeters-KI should to be returned to the Municipal E0C for forwarding the County.
- 2. Public The prctective actions outlines in Section II, E, are intended to provide the necessary radiological exposure control for the general public.

I BOROUGH OF P0TTST0WN RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN (RERP)
I. INTRODUCTION A. Authority The Borough of Pottstown Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) has been developed under the authority of, and in accor-dance with, the provisions of the Pennsylvania Emergency Manage-ment Services Act of 1978, P.L. 1332.
B. References
- 1. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, " Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, November 1980.
- 2. Montgomery County Radiological Emergency Response Plan for Incidents at the Limerick Generating Station, dated
- 3. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Disaster Operations Flan, July 1977, with changes.
4 Annex E, " Fixed Nuclear Facility Incidents," dated November 1981, to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Disaster Operations 5 Plan, with changes.
- 5. Municipal Resolution No. .
C. Purpose The intent of this document is to provide for the maximum protec-tion of those persons who live, work, or transit the Borough of Pottstown in the event of an incident at the Limerick Generating Station, which is owned and operated by the Philadelphia Electric Company.
D. Scope This plan outlines the basic procedures the Borough of Pottstown will follow in the event of an incident at Limerick Generating Station, which may endanger the residents of Pottstown. It complies with federal guidelines and details municipal actions in accordance with Annex E of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Disaster Opera-tions Plan and the Montgomery County Radiological Emergency Response Plan.
1 Draft 7
All of Pottstown Borough is witin the plume exposure pathway EPZ (reference Attachment A and Attachment J. The approximate popu-lation is 22,729.
E. Definitions Some of the terminology presented in this document, or which one might encounter during a radiological incident, is somewhat unique. Accordingly, for a better understanding of the RERP it is essential that emergency response personnel familiarize themselves with the following definitions:
- 1. Access Control Point (ACP) - Control Points manned primarily by State or municipal police, augmented when necessary by the National Guard, established around the perimeter of the plume exposure pathway EPZ on roads leading into it when it is evacuated or occupants are taking shelter for the purpose of controlling access into the area.
- 2. Activate / Activation - To place a specific plan, or portion thereof, into action.
- 3. Amateur Radio - Licensed volunteer radio amateur communica-tions personnel affiliated with county emergency management organization. Such organizations include Amateur Radio Emergency (Service (ARES) and Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services RACES).
- 4. Central Resource Receivinc Point - A predesignated facility operated by the county anc: located outside the plume exposure pathway EPZ and suitable for the reception and distribution of supplies and equipment.
5 5. Dosimeters - Pocket-sized devices that measure accumulated exposure to radiation.
- 6. Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Announcements - Official announcements made at the county level for the specific purpose of providing instructions or information from the County Commissioners, or their designated representative, to the permanent and transient residents of the county. Announce- '
ments are made over the legally designated alerting and warning (EBS) Network.
- 7. Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) - A generic area defined about (surrounding) a nuclear facility to facilitate offsite emergency planning and develop a significant response base.
It is defined for the plume and ingestion exposure pathways.
- a. Plume Exposure Pathway - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which potentially is subject to radia-tion exposure as a result of an incident involving 2 Draft 7 l
I
radioactive material emanating from the facility. Such potential exposure could involve: (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 EPZ for this pathway consists of :n area of approximately ten miles in radius around the fixed nuclear facility at Limerick.
(The exact size and configuration of each plume exposure pathway EPZ for the respective fixed nuclear facility in Pennsylvania was determined in relation to local emer-gency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demography, topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries).
- b. Ingestion Exposure Pathway - That area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which, as a result of a release of radioactive material, is a potential source of exposure through the ingestion of water and foods, such as milk or fresh vegetables originating there. This EPZ consists of a circular area of 50 miles radius around the fixed nuclear facility.
- 8. Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident - An event or condition at a nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four incident classes have been developed to facilitate planning and responses:
- a. Unusual Event - An occurrence which indicates a poten-tial degradation of the level of safety of the facility.
No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs,
- b. Alert - An occurrence which involves actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the facility. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guideline exposure levels.
- c. Site Emergency - An occurrence which involves actual or likely major failures of facility functions needed for the protection of the public. Radioactive releases are not expected to exceed the EPA protective action guide-line exposure levels except near the site boundary.
- d. General Emergency - An occurrence which involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment integrity.
I Releases can reasonably be expected to exceed EPA protective action guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.

E. Protective Actions
- 1. Sheltering The nature of an incident may be such that the most effective measure to protect the public would be to have them go indoors, stay away from windows and doors, and shut off all sources of outside air (air conditioning, vents, etc.);
motorists would be instructed to close windows and vents.
- 2. Evacuation Evacuation is a protective action option which involves movement of the population from the plume exposure pathway EPZ. It may be accomplished on a selective or general basis.
- a. Selective Evacuation Selective evacuation involves the relocation of specific categories of persons, such as pregnant women, pre-school children, and others who may be highly susceptible to the hazards of radiation.
- b. General Evacuation General evacuation involves the relocation of the entire population from the plume exposure pathway EPZ.
14 Draft 7

EPZ (reference II, G, 2, b); non-essential equipment will be sheltered.
(2) In the event a fire is reported in Pottstown Borough, the department having jurisdiction, if available and conditions permitting, will be dispatched by the County E0C. Normal turnout gear should provide adequate external contamination protection; respiratory protection should prevent the inhalation of radioactive material. See Annex M of the County RERP for additional information.
- m. Agriculture If evacuation becomes necessary, the Montgomery County OEP, through the USDA County Agent, will certify farmers as emergency workers. This will allow them to return to the EPZ in order that they may tend to their livestock.
See Annex 0 of the County RERP for additional information.
F. Radiological Exposure Control If it is determined that a potential radiation hazard exists from an incident at the Limerick Generating Station, steps must be taken to protect both the public and emergency workers. Procedures for radiological exposure control are addressed in Annex M of the County RERP. Municipal actions relevant to radiological exposure control follow:
- 1. Municipal Emergency Workers
- a. When advised by Montgomery County OEP that a Site Emergency has been declared, municipal emergency workers will be issued dosimeters and potassium iodide (KI), a radioprotective drug. A unit of dosimeters-KI contains the following:
- one (1) CD V 730 or DCA-622 self-reading dosimeter having a scale of 0 to 20R.
- one (1) CD V 742 self-reading dosimeter having a scale of 0 to 200R.
- one (1) thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) which is a machine-read crystalline dosimeter mounted in a card.
- one (1) Dosimetry-KI Report Form (reference Attachment K).
- one (1) bottle containing a fourteen day supply of potassium iodide (KI) tablets.
18 Draft 7
- b. PEMA will supply, when available, the Montgomery County OEP with enough dosimeters and KI for designated emer-gency workers within its portion of the plume exposure pathway EPZ. These resources will be predistributed to the Borough. Attachment M lists emergency worker dosi-meters-KI resource requirements.
- c. Distribution of the dosimeters and KI is as follows:
(1) Upon notification of an Alert (or any higher classification of emergency should it be initial notification),the equipment will be prepared for distribution to municipal emergency workers (reference Attachment L).
(2) Upon notification of a Site Emergency, dosimeters and KI will be distributed to municipal emergency response organizations identified in Attachment M.
A signed receipt shall be obtained from each organization (reference Attachment L). Emergency organizations will maintain property control by having each worker sign for the property (reference Attachment N).
(3) Emergency workers will take KI only upon the direction of the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, notification of which will be received through emergency management channels.
- d. Dosimeters Reading Procedures and Related Actions (1) Dosimeters are to be worn in the pocket of an outer garment from the time of issue until the worker is dismissed from duty. In no case should the TLD be worn by more than one person since there is no way of ascertaining later how much of the dose recorded on the TLD was received by each individual if more than one person was involved.
(2) Each' emergency worker is responsible for completing the Dosimetry /KI Report Form (reference Attachment K) and for reading the self-reading dosimeters at least once every thirty minutes. The protective action guide for whole body exposure is 25 rem.
Therefore an emergency worker should seek to be relieved or complete the assigned task and then evacuate to an emergency worker decontamination station before receiving 25 R.
19 Draft 7 4
a ,
(3) Life Saving Missions - If a. life saving mission should become necessary, the Pottstown Borough elected official in charge may, under conditions shown below, authorize volunteer emergency workers to exceed the established 25 rem whole body limit.
In no instance, however, should the emergency worker be authorized to exceed an absolute upper limit of 75 rems. This authorization may be given in advance to avoid the possibility of delay in performing life saving missions. When authorizing volunteer emergency workers to exceed the 25 rem limit the elected officials should ensure that the following conditions are met:
(a) It is a life saving situation and alternative courses of action cannot be taken to accomplish the mission.
(b) The emergency workers are healthy adult male volunteers, preferably over 45 years of age.
(c) The emergency workers selected are persons whose normal duties might involve such mis-sions, e.g., policemen and firemen with suitable protective clothing and respiratory equipment.
(d) The mission will be accomplished in the least amount of " stay time."
(e) The emergency workers are knowledgeable of and accept the increased risk in exceeding the 25 rem limit.
- e. Upon completion of emergency tasks during a contami-nating incident, each emergency worker is to report to a decontamination station. Emergency workers in the Borough of Pottstown are to report to Daniel Boone Senior High School, Birdsboro, PA. Specifics relevant to monitoring and decontamination are contained in Annex M of the County RERP.
- f. When the emergency is terminated, all dosimeters-KI should be returned to the Municipal E0C for forwarding to the County.
- 2. Public The protective actions outlined in Section II, E, are intended to provide the necessary radiological exposure control for i
20 Draft 7
the general public. In addition, decontamination monitoring teams will service all mass care centers, and host health care facilities for the purpose of monitoring evacuees. A list of decontamination stations is provided in the County RERP.
G. Continuity of Government .
- 1. Government In the event of a general evacuation, the Mayor / Town Council shall transact required business at an alternate seat of government located at Daniel Boone Senior High School.
- 2. Municipal Services

PA 19464 (215)323 8200 Mr. John H. Cunnington Associate Senior Planner Energy Consultants Riverside Office Center 3 2101 N. Front Street Harrisburg, PA 17110
Dear Mr. Cunnington:
On May 30, I talked to you via telephone about the changes suggested by Mr. Patton for Draft #5. You informed me that these changes would be made and the 50 copies of the plan adopted lur the Board made available within several weeks. It is now the middle of July, and I do not have the copies. After talking with your office, you indicated you are waiting for the notice from Mr. Bush's office that is to be included and comments about Mr. Patton's comments. I will provide a reaction to Mr. Patton's comments since, apparently, your office cannot make these changes without our input.
Page Section Comments 1-5 Para. I.D. Apparently you use state definitions, county definitions and other defini-tions. It is not my role to tell you which definitions should be used. However, I would suggest they be uniform.

Dear John:
Reference Lin Bigelow's letter of May 24, 1985, transmitting suggested changes in our plan based upon a review by F.E.M.A. and P.E.M.A.
Prior to the receipt of that letter we had made extensive changes in the wording (but not intent) of some sections of the plan. It was my intent to make copies of the plan with all its changes and send them to our principals in the month of August so that they might prepare their building implementation procedures in August and early September. It was then my intent to forward the draft plan as updated to you to be put in final form and returned.
Because of the changes suggested in the F.E.M.A./P.E.M.f.. document and the resulting clutter, I am forwarding a copy of our draft plan before it is given to the principals for-their action. Please annotate our plan based upon our response in this letter to F.E.M.A./P.E.M.A. suggestions. When I receive corrected copies back I will then send them out to the principals. The numbers below are cross referenced to the attached list of F.E.M.A./P.E.M.A. comments provided by Lin Bigelow.
- 1. Please make any changes necessary.
- 2. As per our previous agreement it remains our policy that we will provide only back up notification to parochial and private schools in our district.
This is in consonance with our stated position that we do not wish to be an intermediary between the parochial and private schools and the County on any portion of the planning or implementation process. You may make any changes in the cited paragraphs to implement the recommendations as long as they are in conformance with our stated position.
- 3. We agree with the recommendation that the " note" should be dropped.
i e
'9
- 4. I have changed the cited attachment number and found the others to be correct.
- 5. The restructured procedures that I have inserted into the plan have eliminated the redundancy cited in the comments.
- 6. This paragraph is_ unclear. Please note that I have deleted paragraphs (1) and (4) and have renumbered paragraphs (2) and (3).
- 7. The concern expressed in the comments has been resolved by the revision of that section.
- 8. We don't necessarily agree with the rationale contained in the comments. However, we do agree with the elimination of that paragraph which was in response to the concerns of one individual in one of our three townships.
Upon review it would appear that when students are not in school they are no longer " students" and should, therefore, be considered as part of the general population. They are, in effect, in no different circumstances than (depending on their age) a toddler who comes down sick and requires the presence of a parent or adults who become sick and are expected to look after themselves.
- 9. I agree that there is redundancy in subparagraph b. and d. and also in a. You will note that I crossed out subparagraphs a. , b. , d. , rewrote rubparagraph a., and relettered that section. (These are the types of redundancies that I picked up when I rewrote the sections pertaining to " School In Session."
However, I did not do a rewrite of this section because it obviously is not as critical as is the " School In Session" section.)
- 10. Inasmuch as we'must give directions to our schools but only notify the parochial / private schools it would appear that subparagraphs b., and c.,
are not redundant.
- 11. It does appear that the paragraphs cited were reversed. They may be some validity of the combining of these two sections. Please feel free to do so, or write any clarification into them that you wish.
- 12. The parochial schools are shown for information only because of our requirement to provide them back-up notification of an emergency situation.
Since we have accepted no responsibility for their plan or the implementation of their plan there is not need for us to have knowledge of their enrollment figures.
- 13. We agree with the comment made. Please copy as changed. These items will be finally corrected before-the revised draft five is submitted to you for final copy.
- 14. Please place St. Pius X High School in its appropriate place.
- 15. Please make the appropriate change in our plan in accordance with the comments.

i I will need six copies of corrected draft five so that I may provide one to_each principal and maintain one in_the Central Office. Be assured that corrected draft five will be forwarded to you only after I have gone through it with a fine tooth comb and it is accurate in all respects. Do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions on the changes which I have made.
