Fixed Nuclear Facility Incident (hereinafter' called an " incident")
- An incident is an event or condition at a fixed nuclear facility which could result in impact on public health and safety. Four 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 action levels are not to be confused with a " Declaration of Disaster Emergency" made by the Governor in accordance with Pennsylvania Pamphlet Law 1332 of 1978-Act 323.) Within each class there are specific emergency responses necessary to ensure that public health and safety are protected. Descriptions of the four emergency action levels are as follows:
2 n
, . . _ . - - -. .~ -. .- .
1 Unusual Evant - Ev2nts are in prcc:ss or hava occurred which .
- indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the D plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite
- response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
- 2. ' Alert - Events are in process or have occurred which involve an
.t actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to sr.all fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
- 3. Site Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely najor failures of plant functions i
needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not j expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near site boundary, i
- 4 General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity.
4 Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. i i C. Emergency Management - The judicious planning, assignment, and coordination of all available resources into an integrated program j- of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery for l emergencies' of any kind whether from enemy attack, man-made or l natural sources.
; D. Emergency Planning Zone'(EPZ) - A generic area defined about a nuclear facility to facilitate offsite emergency planning and j develop a significant response base. It is defined for plume and I. ingestion exposure pathways..

l or collectively, to cities, boroughs, townships, and incorporated j towns within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. l I. Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ - The area surrounding a fixed nuclear facility which potentially is subject to radiation exposure as a , 1 result of an incident involving radioactive material emanating from j the facility. Such potential exposure could involve: (a)whole 1 body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and deposited materials, and (b) inhalation exposure from the passing i radioactive plume. The EPZ for this pathway consists of an area { approximately 10 miles.in radius around the fixed nuclear facility. ! (The exact size and configuration of each plume exposure pathway , l EPZ for the respective fixed nuclear facilities in Pennsylvania ! ! were determined in relation to local emergency response needs and j capabilities as they are affected by conditions such as demography, j topography, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.) O 4
J.
~
, Projected Dose - An estimate of the radiation dose which affected individuals could potentially receive if protective actions are not c. O V taken. K. Pr'otective Actions - An action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose of radiation (sometimes referred to as protective measures):
- 1. Sheltering - Action taken by the public to take advantage of the protection against radiation exposure afforded by remaining indoors, away from doors and windows, during and following the passage of the radioactive plume.
- 2. General Evacuation - The evacuation of the entire population within the plume exposure pathway EPZ.
- 3. Selective Evacuation - The evacuation of specific elements of j the population, such as pregnant women, pre-school age children i
or the infirm. 1 L. Protective Action Guide (PAG) - A preestablished projected radiation dose to individuals which warrants protective actions. 3 M. Radio Amateur Civil' Emergency Services (RACES) and Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) - Licensed volunteer radio amateur (HAM) communications personnel, equipped and affiliated with the County Emergency Management Agency. i N.

APPENDIX 1 ATTACHMENT A h) L AGREEMENT BETWEEN COUNTY OF BUCKS (EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY) , and LOWER BUCKS COUNTY CHAPTER AMERICAN RED CROSS I. PURPOSE: To provide for the coordination of the functions of the Bucks County EMA and the Lower Bucks Chapter of the American Red Cross with regard to disaster preparedness, planning, and operations in time of disaster. II. AUTHORITY: The Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has been designated pursuant to Section 7317 (7) of Act 323, November 1978, the Emergency Management Act, as the coordinating agency for disaster Operations. In coordinating these operations, the EMA will cooperate with agencies established by laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The American Red Cross (ARC) through its Lower Bucks Chapter, under United States Public Law 4, 58th Congress (reaffirmed by V PL 93-288, 93rd Congress, Disaster Relief Act of 1974) is charged for
" carrying on a system of disaster relief and applying the same in mitigating the suffering caused by pestilense, famine, fire, floods, and other great calamities."
III. SCOPE OF ACTIVITY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY A. Emergency Management Agency will devote its primary efforts to the dissemination of warnings, human rescue, emergency medical care, evacuation, maintenance of law and order, fire fighting and other property protection measures. Where emergency welfare needs are not being met, EMA will, as necessary and practical, provide initial emergency care and other vital assistance immediately required by people in need. B. Emergency Management Agency will devote its primary efforts to the coordination of federal, state, and local efforts aimed at the maintenance of public health, and the restoration of essential public facilities and services, the latter including the repair or rebuilding of public water supply systems, hospitals, bridges, highways and schools. i C. Emergency Management Agency will act as a coordinating agency. 7

IV. SCOPE OF ACTIVITY AMERICAN RED CROSS The ARC Disaster Service, as defined by the organization's operational
/T procedures mitigates suffering by meeting the urgent needs of victims ':
(s_s/ and emergency workers immediately after a disaster has struck or in advance of a potential disaster. ARC help includes food, clothing, shelter, first aid, and other basic elements for comfort and sur-vival. Such help may be provided to large numbers of people in ARC- - operated shelters, at either fixed or mobile ARC feeding stations, or at ARC emergency first aid stations, or it may be provided as individ-ualized assistance to families who are able to return to or stay in their own homes, or who may be able to live temporarily elsewhere. Such help to individual families may include not only the types of assistance listed above but also other urgently-needed items which will help them to resume normal living patterns as quickly as possible. Families in ARC shelters are assisted in moving back go their homes, or to alternate homes if their own ar untenable, as quickly as possible. Arrangements are made for those victims who need additional medical care to receive that care at the nearest available medical facility. When necessary, the ARC augments local medical personnel and equipment and provides needed blood and blood products. The ARC handles welfare inquiries from concerned families outside the disaster area. The ARC also helps disaster victims needing long-term recovery assistance by advising and counseling them on the availability of resources so that they can resume living in keeping with acceptable standards of health, safety, and human dignity. Such resources include those of the family as well as those of federal, state, and local agencies, public and private, with disaster loan or grant programs or with sustaining programs that would benefit the victims. I In addition, if there are no other resources available the ARC may provide direct additional assistance to enable the victims to re-establish themselves. The ARC disaster responsibilities, as defined above, are nationwide. Therefore, when the divisions and chapters in the affected areas are unable to meet the needs of disaster victims, the resources of the total organization are made available. All disaster assistance from the ARC is based on verified disaster-caused need and is an outright grant. The ARC will conduct an appeal for voluntary contributions of funds at the time of disaster. , In accordance with PL 93-288, the Disaster Relief Act of 1974, the ARC will cooperate with all federal, state, and local agencies who have any responsibility for rendering disaster relief assistance to disaster victims. The ARC is willing to accept commissions from governments and h 1-A-2 l
coordinato its relief effort with dasignated agsncies. This may include acting as an agent for governmental units under mutually agreed-upon conditions. c= O A. GENERAL-
- 1. The ARC will respond to any disaster, regardless of the number of families involved. -
- 2. The ARC will offer its services to the families involved. The families will be the judge of whether ARC services are needed.
~3. ARC /EMA are interdependent as a result of this agreement, but each agency functions'according to its own operational guidelines.
- 4. For any operation large enough for establishment of an Emergency Operations Center, the ARC will provide an experienced representative to represent the ARC and EOC.
ti . During mass evacuation of the populace, the ARC will assign a minimum of one staff member to the evacuation team to insure that evacuees are being routed to appropriate shelters. ARC-volunteers may be provided upon request of the authorities to assist in the evacuation staging process. B. SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES
- 1. The ARC disaster representative will represent the Chapter in O all mass care planning of the EMA.
-i l
- 2. All disaster planning will take into account the. cooperative l and mutually-supporting nature of the two organizations. l
- 3. Training. The ARC is responsible for recruiting and training ;
volunteers to fulfill ARC functions throughout its juris-diction. The EMA is responsible for recruiting and training volunteers to fulfill EMA functions throughout the county. , Both organizations will keep each other informed regarding I available training opportunities. In cases where both l organizations offer identical training, efforts will be made to avoid duplication by granting reciprocity in a separate. agreement. -
]
- 4. Alerting and notification: The ARC requires early notification in order to be able to respond adequately to disasters of all kinds. The chapter will supply the EMA with a list of key personnel-and their phone numbers to be used as a backup alerting system. The EMA will notify the Chapter's disaster chairman of the occurrence of any disaster according to 9uidelines established in a separate agreement. Notification of the ARC will. be written into all EMA plans and guidelines at .
the warning stage so that the chapter will have time to respond l adequately. 1-A -3 o
V. DISASTERS RESULTING FROM ENEMY ACTION A. -The responsibility for all public and community needs rests with government and government agencies. 9 B. Government will assume financial responsibility and will operate in accordance with existing EMA policy and procedures. C. The ARC will use its facilities and personnel to support and assist welfare and emergency operations activities of the EMA to the extent possible while carrying out its other _ essential respon-sibilities and assignments. ARC can only support and assist the county, within the limits of ARC resources and other priority obligations. The ARC will, to the extent feasible, recruit and train volunteers to provide nursing assistance, first aid, and ~ assistance with mass care and social services. Disposition and use of all possible ARC. resources, human and material, at state and local levels, will be subject to prior agreements made between the appropriate government and ARC agencies at their respective levels. VI. DISASTERS RESULTING FROM CIVIL STRIFE Refer to the ARC 3004 dated March 1974. ~ ARC functions only as a partici-pating agency and it is expected that the government will finance the costs. VII. MAN-MADE DISASTERS INCLUDING NUCLEAR INCIDENTS ARC 3003 - Administrative Regulations (Revised February 1979) paragraph ~ K pertains. In. disasters with company or owner liability implications, O the customary emergency services .are extended on either a mass care basis or to individuals and families, if such help is not or cannot be provided innediately by the owner of the property involved, after such unpredictable catastrophes as collapse of private dams, fires and explosions in industrial and commerical plants, mine accidents, conuercial transportation wrecks, and fires in hotels, theaters, and nightclubs and on pleasure boats. A. Individual assistance, including temporary maintenance, transpor-tation, clothing, and payment of special-duty nurses, shall be provided only after determining with responsible representatives of the company or owner whether they are prepared to meet the continuing needs of persons affected by the disaster. Competent legal guidance, which is often available from tolunteers, should be sought so that the form in which Red Cross assistance is given does not jeopardize claims for damage by the disaster victims. B. Additional assistance with disaster-caused individual needs is provided by the Red Cross only when it is determined that insurance or other assets of the company or owner are inadequate or cannot be applied for relief of the persons affected because of under-insurance, bankruptcy, or protracted litigation, for example, and that no governmental or other resources are available. The program for such recovery assistance shall be planned in consultation with, and the approval of, the Vice President for Disaster Services. 1-A-4
- C. Reimbursement for the cost of Red Cross assistance from persons who subsequently receive settlements shall not be sought, but voluntary O
m financial donations may be accepted.
~
D. Reimbursement from companies involved for the cost of Red Cross emergency assistance shall not be sought, but voluntary financial , donations may be accepted. E. ARC.3003, revised February 1979 provides Chapters with the authority to aggressively pursue and enact agreements with appropriate agencies. T . O I l s. l t ' O f V 1' 1-A-5 r

APPENDIX S ATTACHMENT A O g DECONTAMINATION MONITORING PROCEDURES I. GENERAL INFORMATION AND ORGANIZATION A. Decontamination Monitoring of the Public In the event of a fixed nuclear facility incident, the public m_ay_ a have to be individually monitqred to ascertain whether or not the
! individual is contaminated with a radioactive substance. If a ! person is found to be contaminated, then he/she must be decontami-nated. BRP will issue a statement indicating whether or not j decontamination monitoring is required and PEMA will send this message through emergency management channels. Decontamination monitoring teams will be located at mass care centers and will prform decontamination monitoring upon request regardless of whether it is required.
I B. Organization at Mass Care Centers 4
- 1. Mass care centers for evacuees will serve as points where decontamination monitoring and decontamination procedures will
! be conducted. When decontamination monitoring is required, j evacuees, upon arrival at the mass care center, will first be monitored for radiological contamination and, if necessary, 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 i
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 operation.
Decontamination monitoring teams take direction from the county l radiological officer. Decontamination monitoring of evacuees b-A-1
should be completed as soon as possible. Decontamination 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 flow patterns so that contaminated persons and those'to be monitored will not mix with the contamination-free individuals who have already been admitted to the " general living" portion 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 decontarainated.
C. Decontamination Monitoring Services for Persons Who Are Not Housed at Mass Care Centers Persons who do not intend to stay at a mass care center, but who wish to be monitored will be extended these services at mass care / decontamination centers. Decontamination monitoring procedures and record keeping are identical for people who stay or do not stay at mass care centers. D. Equipment and Personnel Requirements
- 1. The instrument used for decontamination monitoring is the CD V-700 Geiger-Mueller Survey Meter (ranges approximately 0.0 to 50 mR/hr), which is supplied to the respective county emergency management agencies by PEMA in sufficient quantities to meet their needs. Survey meters in civil defense kits are considered as the backup or reserve units to the special distribution of this equipment for response to fixed nuclear facility incidents.
O . b-A-2
- 2. A sufficient number of CO V-700 survey meters are available for each mass care / decontamination center to allow one meter for (9
%J each 260 people.
- 3. Personnel requirements are one trained monitor and one recorder .,
(assistant to the monitor) for each survey meter as a minimum. Each decontamination monitor and recorder is supplied with dosimetry (CD V-742 and TLD) and KI. 4 Inventory, maintenance, and property accountability with regard to dosimetry, survey meters, and KI are described in Attachment C to this Appendix. E. Decontamination Monitoring Record Keeping Decontamination monitoring personnel will be responsible for completing a " Decontamination Monitoring Report Form" (see Tab 1 to this Attachment) for each individual with a reading of U.Ub 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 steps [(1) initial monitoring, (2) af ter first decontamination, (3) after second decontamination, (4) 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 a medical facility. The original will be retained by the risk county emergency management agency in a historical file. (Bucks County Emergency Management Agency will forward these completed forms to the Montgomery County Emergency i Management Agency.) The risk county emergency management agency will make available these forms to BRP, if requested by BRP. F. Progress Reports on Decontamination Monitoring Decontamination Team Chiefs should verbally report at two hour intervals to their county emergency management coordinator pertinent LJ 5-A-3
information on results of monitoring. The report shall include the . following cumulative data: number of persons monitored; number of persons contaminated; number decontaminated; number referred to a medical facility (for radiation decontamination / treatment); the highest reading (above 0.05 mR/h) on any particular individual; and - any unusual or particularly notable findings. The county emergency management coordinators are responsible for consolidating this information and reporting it immediately to PEMA who in turn will i relay the information to BRP. I
I. PROCEDURE
S FOR DECONTAMINATION MONITORING TEAMS l A. Decontamination Monitoring Procedures i Monitors performing decontamination monitoring of people should . follow these procedures:
- 1. Select a reception location for conducting the monitoring l
operation. Precautions must be taken to prevent contamination i 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 f changes in radiation level than the meter.
- 3. Check the operability of the CD V-700.
- 4. Place the probe in a light plastic bag or cover of lightweight
- material to prevent contamination. This is desirable but not mandatory.
; 5. Periodically determine the background radiation level of the location where the monitoring is to take place. If the meter 1 indication is above background radiation with the probe shield
{ closed, find a better location that will bring the meter j v indication as low as possible.
! b-A-4
- 6. Open the shield on the CD V-700 probe and put on the headphone.
- 7. Place the probe about two inches from the head, being careful not to touch the person.
- 8. Move the probe downward on one side of the neck, the collar, the shoulder, arm, wrist, hand, underarm, armpit, side of body, side ;
of leg, around the cuff and shoe, including the bottom of the shoe. Then monitor the inside of the leg from the cuff to the groin and continue the procedure on the other side of the body. (See Illustration 1.) O l Illustration 1 - Decontamination Monitoring 5-A-b
c, . s
- 9. .Monttor the front and back of the body.
e (m) 10. Record the information on the Decontamination Monitoring Report Form (see Tab 1 to this Attachment).
- 11. Assure that individuals found to be contaminated are decontaminated.I
- 12. Monitor the individual after decontamination to determine that the contamination has been removed. Repeat decontamination procedures if contamination still remains.
B. Decontamination of People i 1. Contaminated persons should wash with soap and warm water. A thorough shower should be sufficient. Emphasis should be placed l on any specific spots found to be contaminated in the monitoring process. Also, special attention should be g'ven to the hair, hands, and fingernails. (b'
- 2. After thorough cleansing, the individuals should be monitored again. If some contamination still remains, the individual should shower again and use a mild abrasive soap. If monitoring
! after the second thorough cleansing indicates that the i ' contamination is still present, the individual should be sent to the nearest medical facility that is capable of treating contaminated persons. i
- 3. Care should be taken that persons who are decontaminated do not l
become recontaminated by dressing in contaminated clothing (the clothing they were wearing or possibly other clothing brought by 1 A person is considered contaminated if there is a reading cf 0.06 mR/hr above background or more. Do not confuse background radiat'on with your readings; contamination would be apparent by a sustained increase on the
,m visual meter reading (Selector Switch on X 1 range), and also by a marked
( ) increase in the audible indication from the headphone. V' l b-A-6 ,, t
them). If the individual does not have contamination free clothing of his/her own, then clean clothing should be issued l the individual until such time as,his/her clothing can be decontaminated. C. Decontamination Procedures for Wounds Persons with contaminated wounds will be referred to an appropriate medical facility for radiation decontamination and treatment. D. Clothing Decontamination Procedures
- 1. 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 as a decontamination check. Water repellent items may be scrubbed with water and detergent, and retained until monitored.
- 2. The county emergency management agency is responsible for arranging for a laundry facility dedicated to washing of contaminated clothing.
E. Decontamination Procedures for Supplies, Instruments and Equipment
- 1. The item in question should be monitored first to determine the extent and area of contamination by thoroughly going over the object with the CD V-700 probe about two inches from the surface. Decontamination of these articles is generally accomplished by wiping and/or washing to the extent necessary to remove the radiocontaminants.
- 2. The county emergency management agency is responsible for arranging for radiation monitoring of vehicles and decontamination. At mass care / decontamination centers monitoring teams will initially direct their efforts to the evacuees as described in (a) and (b) above. When time permits, O--
b-A-7
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 contaminated and those vehicles used by persons found to be contaminated., Suitable car washing arrangements can be made for external decontanination depending upon the number of vehicles contaminated and amount of radiocontamination. The county emergency management agency should seek the advice of BRP, through PEMA, in debiding what measures will be effective and expeditious. Vehicles with contamination in the interiors will be impounded and BRP must be consulted, before return to their owners.
~
~f. Disposal .of Contaminated W.istes E
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 successfully decontaminatec, special handling is necessary. 1 i Contaminated' waste materials should be packaged in a plastic bag, j tied securely at the top, and placed in a metal container with a l snug fitting lid (garbage can) until it is laundered. If tny material cannot be decontaminated by laundering, place it in the same type of plastic bag and container and store in a locked room that is not used for any other purpose until such time as the contaminated waste is disposed of by IRAP (federal government - 1 Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan) personnel. Accumulation of contaminated waste materials and 'the r.eed for disposal should be reported through the emergency man.igement system.

APPENDIX S S ATTACHMENT B c= DOSIMETRY AND POTASSIUM IODIDE (KI)
- 1. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Each member of a decontaminatb n monitoring team is issued a CD V-742, a TLD, KI and a Dosimetry-KI Report Form. Each decontamination monitoring team is also issued a CD V-700 Geiger-Mueller Survey Meter.
B. Dosimeter chargers (CD V-750) which are used to "zero" or charge the self-reading dosimeters are located with, or within easy access to, each emergency organizational unit. II. DISTRIBUTION OF 00SIMETRY, POTASSIUM IODIDE AND RELATED PROCEDURES A. Distribution At the ALERT stage, the County Technical Division Chief (RADEF) will report to the E0C to prepare dosimetry, survey meters, KI, and necessary report forms for distribution to decnntamination monitor-ing teams (generally fire services personnel). At SITE EMERGENCY, the Technical Division Chief (RADEF) will contact the County Fire Marshall's Office for assistance in distribution of the dosimetry and other radiological equipment resources to decontamination monitoring teams throughout the County. Upon receipt, each organization shall distribute to individual team members and mobilize teams to their assigned locations. To facilitate this distribution, a " Dosimetry, KI, Survey Meter Distribution List" is contained in Attachment D to this Appendix. The list indicates the receiving organizations and the required number of each item. O . 5-B-1
B. Property Control
) Property accountability must be maintained in the distribution process. The " Receipt Form for Dosimetry-Survey Meters-KI" (see Tab
- 4) is designed for transferral'of quantities of equipment from ,
agency to agency. " Acknowledge of Receipt by Emergency Workers for Dosimetry-KI and Survey Meters" (see Tab 6) is designed to expedite transferral of the equipment-KI to individual users. Bucks County, which stores and maintains the equipment and KI, will be responsible for ensuring return of all equipment upon termination of the incident. C. Control TLD's
- 1. In the event of an incident, the County EMA will retain the designated " Control TLD's." Control TLD's 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 TLD's meant for distribution to emergency workers. As coordinated by PEMA, the control TLD's will be forwarded to the TLD service contractor. The County EMA will complete the " Control TLD's Form" (see Tab 2) and forward it with the control TLD's.-
- 2. The purpose of " control TLD's" is to allow measurement of a
" baseline" of radiation (background radiation) that the TLD's have been exposed to at the time the County EMA distributes TLD's in reaction to the incident. The measurement of the accumulated background radiation, as measured by the control TLD's, 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.
A 5-B-2
l I
- 3. At the time of the incident, the County EMA will ensure that the i
.m control TLD's are not exposed to radiation other than background , [ radiation. e 6 D. Inventory and Maintenance . Inventory and maintenance procedures are specified in Attachment C to this Appendix. E. County Distribution Time Requirements The County plans to make its entire dosimetry-KI-survey meter distribution to using organizations within two hours. III. POTASSIUM IODIDE (KI) A. Background Information
- 1. Iodine accumulates in the thyroid gland which is located at the front base of the neck just below the larynx (Adam's apple).
Radioactive iodine is no different, i.e., it will accumulate in the thyroid effect of saturating the thyroid gland with iodine so that radioiodine (radioactive iodine) will not lodge there in a large quantity. Hence, KI lessens the risk to the thyroid gland; otherwise it provides no protection against radiation.
- 2. The Pennsylvania Department of Health is responsible for developing policies relating to use of KI during fixed nuclear incidents. The department has procured KI tablets for emergency workers and KI in liquid form for staff and patients of risk hospitals. Thyro-Block (product of Carter-Wallace Inc.) is the brand name of the XI tablets procured by the department for emergency workers. A unit of Thyro-Block consists of 14 tablets of 130 milligrams in size; the dose is one tablet per day.
(~\ U l 5-B-3
3 The toxicity level of KI is very . low and dang 2rs in taking this drug are considered to be minimal. Nonetheless, individuals should not take more than the recomended dose. Although side effects to KI are unlikely because of the low dose and the short time period it will be taken, some side effects are possible. The side effects may include: skin rashes, swelling of the salivary glands, " iodism" (metallic taste, burning mouth' and throat, sore teeth and gums, cold symptoms and sometimes gastrointestinal symptoms). A few people may have an allergic reaction with more serious symptoms. These symptoms could be: elevated temperature, joint pains, swelling of the face and body, and at times, severe shortness of breath which requires immediate medical attention. 4 The effectiveness of KI as a blocking agent is greatest if administered before the time of exposure to radiciodine, but some exposure saving can be obtained by administration shortly after exposure. A user information sheet on Thyro-Block is included at Tab 3 to this Attachment. O 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) and in liquid form to acute care hospitals. County.EMA's specify in their plans those municipalities, agencies, and teams that receive KI for use by emergency workers.
- 2. The Secretary of the Department of Health is charged with the decision to use, or not to use, KI in an incident. The decision i l
criteria made in conjunction with BRP, includes radioiodine dose projections, exposure savings, drug risk factors and incident assessment information. l d ) 5-8-4
KI shruld b3 taken only on the. advice of the Srcratary 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 read the
- information on the Dosimetry-KI Report Form (see Tab 1 to this Attachment).
IV. 00SIMETRY READINGS, RECORD KEEPING AND PROTECTIVE ACTION OPTIONS A. Dosimetry Reading Procedures and Related Actions
- 1. 00simeters should be worn in the pocket of an outer garment. 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 the CO V-742 !
self-reading dosimeters is interpreted to mean that the worker : has received a corresponding number of rem, e.g., a reading of S R should be interpreted to mean that a b rem dose has been received.1
- 3. Each emergency worker should read the self-reading dosimetry at least once each thirty minutes.
-B. Protective Action Guides (PAG) for Emergency Workers The protective action guide for whole body exposure specified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and by BRP is 2b rem. Workers should use the self-reading dosimetry to ensure that the 25 rem whole body PAG is not exceeded. By regularly checking the self-l 1
1 1 A Roentgen is a unit of measurement of x-ray or gama radiation that is I based upon effects as measured in air; a rem is a unit of radiation l measurement that is based upon effects as mesured in the human body. In this plan, Roentgen and rem are considered to be essentially identical. b-B-S
i reading dosimeter the worker can make reasonable judgements about how much radiation,'if any, has been received, and at what rate it ("] is being received. It is unlikely that doses approaching 25 rem would be received by decontamination monitoring personnel in support counties. . C. Dosimetry and KI Record Keeping
- 1. Each emergency worker is responsible for completing a Dosimetry-KI Report Form (see Tab 1 to this Attachment) and for returning it, along with the dosimetry, to his organization at the termination of his services. Each emergency organization shall forward the forms and dosimetry to the County EMA who in turn will deliver the TLD's and forms to PEMA. PEMA will deliver the forms and TLD's from all counties to BRP who will deliver the TLD's to the TLD service contractor for reading. All dosimetry records will be forwarded through emergency management channels to BRP for the purposes of record keeping, analysis, reporting and storage.
r
- 2. BRP will retain all original copies and will be the permanent record keeper of the completed Dosimetry-KI Report Forms along with BPR's explanation of each, the TLD service contractor generated information, and all related material. The records of individuals will be kept confidential.
- 3. BRP will use the Dosimetry-XI Report Form to select TLD's for immediate reading. The nighest priority will be given to TLD's 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, BRP will expedite delivery of the TLD's to the TLD service contractor and readings will be received within 24 hours after the contractor's receipt of the TLD's. BRP will promptly relay the readings, with their interpretation to the individual and appropriate medical authorities. All other TLD's will be in the v
5-B-6
" routine" category of five days turnaround time from the TLD service contractor; individuals will be informed of the TLD readings. "

APPENDIX 5 ATTACHMENT C m INVENTORY AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES I. PURPOSE This attachmnent sets forth inventory and maintenance procedures in Pennsylvania for dosimetry, chargers, survey meters and Potassium iodide (KI) intended for use in response to incidents at fixed nuclear facilities. II. OEFINITIONS For the purpose of this attachment, the following definitions are applicable: A. Inspection - A visual check for physical damage and missing accessories to include batteries (for the CD V-750 and CD V-700) which should be stored separately.
- 8. Operational check -
- 1. Self-reading dosimetry (CD V-730, CD V-742, OR Dosimetry Corporation of America Model 622) - The dosimetry is operational if the hairline can be moved to or close to zero using a dosimeter charger.
- 2. Dosimeter charger (CD V-750) - The charger is operational if the light source for reading dosimeters is working and the charger can move the hairline on a self-reading dosimeter to or close to Zero.
- 3. Survey meter (CD V-700) - The survey meter is operational if after turning the selector switch to the X10 range, allowing 30 seconds and warmup, opening the shield on the probe and placing 5-C-1
the open area of the probe as close as possible to the operational check source located on the instrument case, the p) (O meter reads between 1.5 and 2.5 mR/h. e: C. Special RERP issue - Refers to dosimeters, dosimeter chargers and . survey meters that are either civil defense or commercial equipment issued to selected counties for the express purpose of response to nuclear facility incidents; this equipment is in addition to civil defense kits issued to counties as a preparedness measure for nuclear attack. D. Set aside - Refers only to CD V-742 dosimeters and CD V-730 dosimeter chargers originally issued to counties as part of civil defense kits for use in the event of nuclear attack. These two items have, in some cases, been removed from the kits (but still stored in the proximity of the kits) and " set-aside" for ready availability if a nuclear power plant incident should occur. This equipment, of course, can be placed back into the civil defense kits if nuclear attack becomes a heightened concern. (Note: Most of the t, CD V-742's and CD V-750's designatd for response to nuclear facility incidents are "special issue" and only a small portion are " set-aside."
