A A. PURPOSE OF THE NEW CASTLE RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN (RERP)
U This Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) has been developed for the Town of New Castle in accordance with the planning guidance outlined in NUREG-0654 FEMA-REP-1. The purpose of the RERP is to provide the . Town with the capability for a rapid and coordinated response to any possible anergency at the Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant. Such an emergency response capability is considered essential .to ensure the protection of the citizens of the Town in the event of a potential or actual radiological release from the nuclear power plant.
Federal, state, local, and private agencies, including New Hanpshire
-Yankee comprise the overall Emergency Response Organizations for Seabrook Station. The RERP identifies the agencies and personnel that will respond to an incident with potential effects on offsite locations in New Hanpshire (i.e., at locations beyond the nuclear power plant site boundaries). The RERP provides for a coortfinated response by outlining the Emergency Response Organization structure and responsibilities of each agency in the Emergency Response Organization. Likewise the RERP outlines the support and cooperation required from the State of New HaTpshire in the event of a nuclear emergency.
The RERP provides descriptions of:
o Classification of nuclear energencies using the Emergency Classification Levels outlined in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654 FEMA-REP-1 Rev. 1.
o Methods utilized to notify the Town of New Castle agencies, local officials, private organi7,ntions and the public in the event of a nuclear energency.
o Emergency ecmnunications systems to be anployed during a nuclear energency.
O' Vol. 22 I-1 Rev. 2 8/86
,7 s o Public information describing emergency response plans and providing k ,) ~ '
energency response instructions for the public to follow during a nuclear energency.
o Energency facilities and equignent available for use by the &nergency Response Organization during a nuclear emergency.
o Means to be snployed to assess the offsite consequences of an onsite accident.
o Protective Actions to be inplanented by the &nergency Response Organization in the event of an energency.
o Means for controlling radiological exposure of energency workers involved in protective response activities. .
o Medical and public health services available to persons injured or radiologically contarninated during a nuclear emergency.
o Plans for safe re-entry and recovery of an EPZ at the conclusion of an emergency.
o Exercises and drills to be conducted to evaluate major portions of the offsite energency response capability, c The radiological energency response training to be ,nrovided' to the various agencies within the Emergency Response Organization, o Responsibilities for develognent, review, updating, and distributing the New rastle RERP.

q -8. GLOSSARY OF TERMS N.I( Purpose The purpose of this section is to provide a corrmon reference for terms and phrases used in this RERP.
Glossary Access Control The prevention of unauthorized people from entering a speciff.c area. Road barriers and traffic control will be used to affect access control. The controlled area may include all or part of the 10-mile EPZ or may be adjusted in order to bound an Exclusion Area established by NHOPHS to control and monitor areas Aich may have become radiologically contaminated.
A;;ricultural Any building or tract of land used to grow crops or raise Facility livestock for production of food including food stcrage and food processing operations.
ALERT An ALERT is the second lowest level of Ernergency classi-fication. Declaration of an ALERT indicates events in progress @ ich involve an actual or potential, substantial degradation of the level of safety at the nuclear power plant. Any radioactive releases associated with this level are expected to be linited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
Emergency Broadcast Network of radio stations @ ich provides direct link between System (EBS) responsible public officials and the public. EBS stations broadcast instructions about dat steps the public should take.
Emergency The level at which an incident at a nuclear power plant Classification has been classified by the plant operatcr. Each level Level triggers a set of predetermined actions ay the offsite
\.j Emergency Response Organization.
Vol. 22 I-3 Rev. 2 8/86 I
Emergency Operations Locations designated by the State and local Emergency
['}
U( Centers (EOC) Response Organizations as assembly areas for their respective staffs. These facilities are the central conrnand and control points for their respective Emergency Response Organizations.
Emergency Operations A center established to coordinate the flow of technical Facility (EOF) inforTnation from the ensite to the offsite Emergency Response Organization. It is in the EOF that accident assessment activities are coordinated arong State,' local, Federal and utility personnel.
Emergency Planning An individual in each agency in the Emergency Response
- Coordinator (EPC) Organization responsible for energency response prepared-ness. Responsibilities include training, planning, maintaining liaison with NHCDA, and maintaining the procedures and other important documents of the agency.
Emergency Planning The area covered by the Radiological Emergency Response
( Zones (EPZ) Plan. The boundary for the Ingestion Fathway EPZ is a 50-mile radius from the' plant. The boundary of the Plums Exposuro EPZ is chosen to acccmnodate practical planning considerations and to conforTn as closely as possible to a 10-mile radius. The actual EPZ boundary may be more or less than 10 miles from the plant.
Emergency Response The contination of State, local, Federal, and private Organization agencies designed specifically to provide offsite capability to inplement energency responses.
Exclusion Area The area established to control access to an evacuated area. An Exclusion Area is established after en area has been evacuated and its purpose is to control the spread of contanination and prwide security.

The Seabrook Station is situated on the western sFTe of'Harpton Harber i near the northern boundary of the Town of Seabrook, New Hanpshire. The Town
. of New Castle, New Harpshire, is located on an island approximately 13 miles north-northeast of the site, with the Town's southernmost border 12-1/2 miles north of Swabrook Station. Figure 1 i' map showing % Castle's geographic relatiocchip to Seabrook Station.
The Town of New Castle g The resident population of New Castle is approximately 621 with a peak seasonal population of about 749. Special facilities in New Gastle that shocid be considered in developing emergency plans area one public school 1 dich teaches approximately 17 students end the Wentworth-By-The-Sea Hotel (currently closed for renovations).
The only primary highway in Nrs Castle is State Route 18. The route constitutes the islards sola vehicle access to the mainland, connecting New
{
Castle with Portsmouth to the west and Rye to the south. A full-size map of f
New Castle is enclosed at the rear of this plan. It shws key facilities, evacuation routes, and traffic contrul poM,,
EPZ Population Distribution The area within a 10-mile radius of tb9 site includes portions of the states of New Hanpshire and Massachusetts. Table i lists populations of nunicipalities in New Hanpshire and Massachusetts which are located wholly or partially within 10 miles of Seabrook Station. Although New Castle is empletely outside the 10-mile planning cadius, it has becn included in this EPZ because of its evacuation routes through Portsmouth.

7q G. ORGANIZATION In the State of New Hampshire there are two levels of government involved in radiological energency response activities, Most responsibilities are assurned by the State agencies included in the State Emergency Response Organization. These agencies, and their responsibilitins, are described in Section 1.7 of the fHRERP. The local energency responsibilities in New Hanpshire are assumed at the nunicipal levels several cities and toms, rather than counties, within each Emergency Planning Zene, provide the facilities and personnel for local emergency response.
The Town of New C1stle is one of 21 local governments that beccrne part of the State's offsite Emergency Response Organization in the event of an accident at Seabrock Steti& , Seventeen of the ecmnunities, including New Castle are located withAn or just outside of the Plune Exposure EPZ: four rrore 2 l ccmnunities are designated host ccmnunities that would pn3vids Reception Center capabilities for any evacuation of the Seabrook EPZ. The i
responsibilities of the verious entities included in the Stata's Emergency
,j Response Organization are outlined in Section 1.2 of the PHRERP.
The local Emergency Response Organization in the Town of New Castle is governd by a Board of Selectnen who are responsible for the administrative control of the Tom.

H. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVELS f'T I b The events leading to each of the Emergency Massification Levels are identified by measurable and observable characteristics called Initiating Conditior,s. For each classification level, exmple Initiating Conditions are identiff sd (Reference Seabrook Station Emergency Plan) which ferrn the basis for initiating the announevnent of an (JNUSUAL EVENT, ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY, or GENERAL EfERGENCY, respectively. These lists are representative and not all-inclusive, but are designed to give insight as to the types of conditions dich coulo initiate each of the Emency Classification Levels.
Table 3, Emergency Classification Levels, shows various actions to be taken in the event of a daclaration of one of the Emergency Classification Levels. The Emergency Classificatior. Levels are defined as follows:
- 1. tNJSUAL EVENT: Events are in progress or have occurred W ich indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the Plant. No releases of radioactive. material requiring offsite q- response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of U safety systens occurs.
- 2. ALERT: Events are in progress 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 EPA Protective Action Guide exposure levels.
- 3. SITE AREA EfERGENCY: Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of Plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guide exposure levels except near the
- sitc 'candary.
- 4. GENERAL EMERGENCY: Events are in progress or have occurred sich involve actual or inrninent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guide exposure .

I. EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONES (Q, Brergency Planning Zones for both the Pltine Exposure Pathway and the V( Ingestion Exposure Pathway have been selechid based upon the knowledge of the timing, release characteristics, and potential consequences of a spectrtin of l accidents. .l i
The Pltine Exposure EPZ is an area extending outward from the Seabrock l Station site to include those connunities solly or partially within 10 miles of the site, and New Castle. The size of the zone is based primarily on the consideration that projected doses estimated for most accidents would not exceed Plune Exposure Protective Action Guide (PAG) Levels outside this zone and that detailed planning within this area would pre ide a substantial base for the timely execution of response efforts in the event of an incident at Seabrook Station.
The _ Ingestion Pathiey Exposure EPZ is an area extending radially outward fran the Seabrook Station site to a distance of 50 miles. The size of the zone is based primarily on the consideration that the downwind range, within sich significant contshination could occur, would generally be limited to
( this distance because of wind shifts and travel periods. In addition, gujected doses fran contanination outside this zone would not exceed Ingestion Pathway PAG levels. Precautionary control measures relative to livestock feeds, milk products, garden produce, and potable water supplies will be irrplemented in this area to the extent dictated by the projected dose.
The location of the Town of New Castle within the Pltsne Exposure EPZ is shown in Figure 1. The Tcwn which is north-northeast of Seabrook is located corplately outside of a 10-mile radius line drawn fran the Seabrook Station site center. The Town boundary nearest the Seabrook site is approximately 12-1/2 miles aways the northerrmost tip of the Town is about 14 miles fran the ,
site center.
Large scale maps of both EPZs are posted at the New Castle EOC. Copies of the same maps are posted at the EOCs of the towns within the EPZ and at the State EOC end IF0/ EOF.

The siren system comprises a' total of 137 individual sirens installed f throughout the Seabrook Station EPZ, 94 in New Harrpshire and 43 in Massachu-setts. In New Castle, there is one siren with a rated output of 123 dBC at a distance of 100 feet. The location of the siren in New Castle is listed in Table 3A: the siren location is also depicted on the Siren Location Map included in the Map Section at the end of this volune.
The siren in New Castle can be operated in either a "siren" mode or a "public address" mode. In its nonnal, "siren" rrode of operation, the siren can produce several distinct sounds. The Civil Defense "Alert" signal (a loud, high-pitched tone) will be used to provide public alerting in the event of an energency at Seabrook Station. The other siren sounds available can be used by New Castle and/or State officials for other purposes of their own choosing. In the "public address" rrode, voice messages can be broadcast over the siren.
The sirens in the Seabrook Station Alert and Notification Systern are activated and controlled with an encoded signal broadcast over a dedicated radio channel. Each siren in the systern can bn activated and controlled from p a central siren control point, with backup activation and control functione d provided by the trunicipality in which the siren is located. For all sirens in 2 Vol. 22 II-6 Rev. 2 8/86
f- New Harrpshire, the primary activation and control point is the Rockingham
(> . County Dispatch Center (RCDC), in Brentwood. The local siren control and activation point is located at The New Castle Fire Station.
In the event of an ernergency at Seabrook Station, the New Hampshire Civil
, Defense Agency (NHCDA) will coonfinate the activation of the siren systen and the EBS radio network. Normally, the siren in New Castle will be activated by the RCOC. The New Castle Fire Chief will be informed as to the time of siren activation, and is responsible for verifying that the siren has sounded at the scheduled time. If the siren has not been activated at that time, the Fire Chief will coordinate local (backup) activation procedures through the New Castle Selectmen and NHCDA.
To supplerrent the public alerting functions provided by the siren system, tone-alert radio receivers will be provided to certain institutions and indi-viduals in New Castle. Institutional recipients of tone-alert radio receivers include schools, day-care centers, medical facilities, busins,sses with 50 or more arployees at one location, and other facilities that may have to internally coordinate their emergency response activities. Tone-alert radio receivers equipped with visual alerting lights will also be provided to hearing-impaired residents. The tone-alert radio receivers will be activated by a special signal 4
broadcast over the EBS network, and will provide both an alerting tone and ver-bal information and instructional messages. A list of recipients of tone-alert radio receivers in New Castle will be kept by the New Castle Civil Defense Director. 2 The audible alert system for Seabrook Station nuy be supplemented by other notificat has. Section 2.1 of the t&EERP outlines the notification respon-sibilities of State and Federal agencies involved with nctifying remotely located persons or patrons of State recreational facilities. In addition the Police Chief in New Castle maintains confidential lists of New Castle citizens with special notification needs. These include handicopped persons within the town who have made theTselves and their needs known to the Town through the i public information program. These persons will be notified by telephone, by dispatch of police cruisers or other emergency personnel, or by other suitable l means devised by the New Castle Fire Chief. '
O O 1 j Vol. 22 II-7 Rev. 2 8/85
l O Public Dissernination of Infortnation and Instructions
, i After initial public alerting has been accomplished, all subsequent offi-ciel information and instructional messages will be broadcast to the public over the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). The public's high reliance en radio for news information makes EBS a good medium for keeping the public informed during an ernergency.
WOKQ (97.5 FM) and several other EBS radio stations have been selected for inclusion in the emergency information network. WOKQ provides coverage of the entire EPZ on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> basis. The station also has backup power.
Sanple EBS messages have been prepared and are included in Appendix G to the NHCDA procedures.

l C. EMERGENCY C0ffiUNICATIONS Town of New Castle Conrnunications Systen Description The Town of New Castle is served by a sophisticated coninunications network.
The Police Station and Fire Station are located in a group of (2) adjoining buildings on Main Street. The EOC is located in the Fire Station, the Police Station is located in the Town Hall. The New Castle Police Department is l
dispatched by Rockingham County Dispatch. The Fire Department is dispatched by the Rye Fire Department, which answers the New Castle fire phone and then tone alerts and dispatches New Castle Fire Department.
Initial notification of an incident at Seabrook Station to the New Castle Emergency Response Organization would occur as follms:
The utility would notify the New Hanpshire State Police conTnunications center, the NHSP dispatcher would notify Rockingham County Oispatch (hereafter RCO). RCD will notify the Police Officer on duty or on call, this notification will be made via radio pager. At the sane time the radio page is sent to the 4 Police Officer on duty or on call, a simultaneous notification will also be pro-vided by RCD to the Selectmen and the Civil Defense Director via radio pagers.
The Police Officer has the primary responsibility for verifying the receipt of the radio page to the Emergency Response Organization for the town.
The Police Officer will receive subsequent updates and inferrnation from RCO until the EOC beccmes operational. Once the EOC is operational it will becone ,
the focus of all anergency camnunciations for the twn.
The EOC dispatch area is located with the fire dispatch area, and is spe- ,
cially equipped with enhanced conmunications capabilities to handle additional connunications associated with the RERP. An emergency power generator will be installed at this location.
Local Civil Defense field operations will be conducted on the twns VHF-HS comen frequency. The fire frequencies will ba used only for coordinating fire fighting activities. The police frequencies will be utilized primarily for traf-fic and access control and for coordinating other law enforcement activities. l 2 ,
O Vol. 22 II-8 Rev. 2 8/86
Most of the emergency conmunications equignent discussed in this section is n
v used by the various public safety agencies on a day-to-day basis. For this reason, many of the systes are in constant use or are tested frequently. No ,
syste is tested less frequently than once a month. In addition, the entire mergency conmunications syste is tested for use in a radiological mergency response during biannual exercises. Sufficient equipment exists to cover for equipnent removed for service er repair.
The ecmnunications network consists of (6) subsystens dich are described ;
below.
- 1. The New Hampshire Civil Defense Ccmnand and Control Netwrk Once the EOC is operational this sytem will provide the primary Conmand and Control mechanism and provide notifications and informational updates to the ,
EOC. This systen will provide a conmunications link between each local EOC, (EPZ and Host) and the IFO in Nswington. This systen allcws all the EPZ and ;
Host ccmnunities local EOCs the ability to ccmnunicate with sach other. All of the radios installed as part of this netwrk have a built in selective call feature which will allow one station to selectively alert another station.
The stations at the IFO and the State EOC also have the ability to transmit an O "allcall" signal which will alert all of the stations in this system simulta-neously. Normal systen ecmnunications are relayed through a VHF-Low band
^
repeeter. In the event the systen experiences 'a high snount of radio traffic, !
the repeat function will be disabled and the IFO dispatcher will assune control of the repeater and will control the ccmnunications that occur on the syste.
Ccmmnications that occur on this systen will take place in a "clear voice" rrode. All etmnuncications that occur on the systen are linked back to the State EOC in Concord. The State EOCs can operate the repeater and ccmmnicate to the local EOCs should that be necessary.
NOTE: All key ccrrpnnents of this systen have a backup electrical source in place or in the process of being installed. .

- 2. Civil Defense Staff Operations Radio Systen (A
a
) (1) All Civil Defense staff field activities will be coordinated on this channel. In New Castle this channel is a VHF-HB channel. This systen operates with a new high power, rnultifrequency scanning base station installed at the EOC. This frequency is also installed in all of the towns ned portable radio equipnent for all departments.
(2) This base station may also ccmnunicate directly with the United States 3
Coast Guard, Rye Police Department and other EPZ Police with ambulances and hospitals on the Hear i frequency and with EPZ ccTmunities on the Seacoast Fire frec;uencies.
- 3. Police Dispatch Radio Network The Town of New Castle Police Department operates on the ecmnon radio fre-quencies utilized by Rockingham County Police Departments. This systen arploys (3) primary radio channels to ccmnunicate between RCD and local Police Departments. A quantity of portables also have been provided to allow for staffing of traffic control posts and to have sufficient portables available for other police activities.
- 4. Fire Dispatch Radio Network 4
The town of New Castle Fire Department operates on the ecmnon radio fre-quencies utilized by most Rockinghan County Fire Departments. This system eTploys (2) primary radio channels to ccmnunicate betwen dispatch centers and local departments and to conmanicate between local departments apparatus for trutual aide purposes. The Rye Fire Department answers the New Castle Fire Department's energency phone and then tone alerts and dispatches the New Castle Fire Department. A tone encoder is also installed at the Fire Station /EOC.
- 5. knateur Radio, ARES Radio Systen Installed at the New Castle EOC is a (2) meter programable base station capable of operating on all (2) meter frequencies. The ARES network is a backup systen to the NHCDA Ccmnand and Control radio systen and will allow the local l EOC additional channels to ccmnunicate with the IFO and other EPZ and Host j i ccmnunities. I j
j 6. Ccmnercial Telephone Network j The EOC is equipped with a multi-line key t'elephone system, sufficient to handle the additional ecmnunications associated with the RERP.

ex D. RJBLIC EDUCATION AND INFORMATION
( )
L ,/
In New Hampshire all publice 'ducation and information responsibilities are assumed by the State. The tem "public Education" refers to pre-emergency education of the public in matters related to nuclear power, radiation and omergency response actions. The State public education progran consists of five elements:
- 1. A public information booklet
- 2. Infomation on adhesive labels to be placed in the hone
- 3. Emergency infomation placed in a dedicated page of the local telephone book
- 4. Poster with anergency information to be prcminently displayed in public places, and O, 5. Annual news media orientation.
V-These materials provide infonnation on radiation, a contact person fran whom rrore anergency information can be obtained, a description of protective measures that may be taken in response to an cmergency situation at Seabrook Station, and instructions for those with special needs to contact appropriate public officials. Each of the five elements of the progran is described in detail in Section 2.3 of the ttiRERP.
"Public information" refers to the dissanination of official public information through the news madia during a rMiological energency and the recovery and re-entry period inrned! Aely following the energency. Careful coordination of news releases anong .1 involved agencies and Seabrook Station is essential to ensurs consistency of information to preclude public confusion and thus facilitate crderly and efficient responses.
A representative of the Governor and/or NHCDA will coordinate news g releases with the utility and Massachusetts' agencies fran the Media Center at
()
Vol. 22 II-13 Rev. 2 8/85
the Newington Town Hall, Newington, TN. This is the only location at sich major news media support will be offered. New Castle officials can also ,
obtain energency information by contacting NHCCA by telephone at the IF0/ EOF in Newington, the State EOC in Concord, or via the Civil Defense radio network. State personnel will also monitor the operation of the NHY and staff runor control center. The State also operates a runor control center. The toll ;
free telephone nunbar is listed in Voltrne 2, Appendix K, and published in the !
public infonnation calendar. This center will actively seek to identify runces t and remedy then by promt, accurate news releases. Likewise the utility will 2 '
maintain, and the State personnel will monitor a public infonnation telephone nunbar that residents may call for plant status infonnation. Details on the operation of the Media Center and the rtinor control activity are provided in i Section 2.3 of the NmERP.
Since the State maintains the responsibility for public education and information, the Town is not required to participate in media relations. At their option the Selectmen may choose to deal with local nws media. If the Selectmen elect to release news to local media representatives they will establish a briefing room in the Town Hall. Such optional briefings will be limited to the status of energency response activities in the Town of New Castle. Briefings on plant status and accident assessment will be conducted I only by Federal, State and utility officials from the Media Center. The l Selectmen should notify the State personnel in the Media Center, in advance, l their intent to hold any local briefing including the nature of infonnation to be released. The Selectmen should provide copies of any written releases to the Media Center in advance of issuing than to the media.

E. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT (J-)
L There are three sets of emergency facilities used to support offsite am.rgency response for Seabrook Stations utility-operated facilities, State-operated facilities and locally-operated facilities. These facilities and their relationships tn energency response activities for the Town of New Castle are described below.
Utility-Operated Facilities There are three utility-operated facilities that have significant roles in offsite energency response. These are the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), the control roan and the Media Center.
The primary exchange of information between the onsite and offsite Emergency Response Organizations occurs in the EOF. Infertnation concerning the reactor status, utility dose projections, and monitoring data is transferred to State personnel located in the EOF by the utility in accordance with the utility's energency plan. (Ref. Seabrook Station Emergency Plan,
(]
V Section 8.5). No local energency response personnel are involveo with activities at the EOF, The EOF is co-located with the IFO at Newington Station in Nesington.
The Power Plant Control Roan is not an integral part of the offsite emergency response facilities. It is, however, linked to the offsite facilities in two important ways. First, it is fran the control roon that notification of the Emergency Classification Levels to the State is initiated and verified until the EOF is activated. Second, it is fran the control room that technical data about the incident is provided to utility representatives in the EOF. As with the EOF, no New Castle personnel are involved with any I
control roon activities.
l The Media Center is the central coordination point fran which information l i
about the incident and the anertency response will be released to representatives of the news media. It is located in Newington Town Hall.
O O
Vol. 22 II-15 Rev. 2 8/86 l
i In the Media Center public info:mation officials of the utility. as well O as State and Federal officials, will coordinate their activities. (Ref.
Seabrook Station Emergency Plan, Section 11.3). Rtmor Control is also conducted from the Media Center. The Stete Public Information Officers located in the Media Center have a direct dedicated ccrrmunications link with !
i the State EOC. The Media Center may be a source of information to the New Castle Emergency Response Crganization, however, no participation in issuance of news releases and press briefings by local officials is expected.
State-Operated Facilities The State operates six emergency response facilities, plus the decontamination centers and the four Reception Centers for Seabrook Station. 2 The State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is the central conmand center for the offsite erergency response by the State and affected trunicipalities in New Harpshire. The State EOC is located in the NHCDA offices at 107 Pleasant Street in Concord, NH. fNC0A is responsible for the operation of this facility.
The IFO is the State facility located closest to Seabrook Station. It is the facility from which the NH Civil Defense Agency will ccrmunicate with State stergency workers and local Emergency Response Organizations. State field operations are directed from the IFD. The IF0, d ich is located in the Newington Station in Newington, receives direction from the State EOC in Concert, NH. The IFO is co-located with the EOF.
The State Police Ccrmunication Center is the central ccrmunication and information point for the New Ha@ shire State Police. This facility has two radio dispatch consolest One console uses a low-band frequency and is reserved for State Police dispatch. The other uses a high-band frequency to ccymunicate with other State agencies and local Police Dispatchers including Rockingham County,01spatch Center. Emergency and routine ccrmunications services are pttvided by several dispatchers on a 24-hour basis.
Ccrmunication links to the utilities, PHCDA, OPHS, local dispatch centers, State Police Troop A, the Governor, and other State agencier., as well as State Police organizations of other states, are provided by this ccrmunication center.

p Reception Centers are operated to acconinodate the energency service needs l
(' ' of evacuees leaving the EPZ in the event an evacuation is ordered. Fce the '
j Seabrook Station EPZ, there are four Reception Centers. The Reception Center l2 .
' to @ ich residents of New Castle would be directed is the Dover High School in f Dover, New Harpshire. In a Reception Center, evacuees are registered and j provided terrporary services. These facilities will not be used to house ,
evacuees for prolonged periods of time. In the event mass care services become necessary they will be provided in satellite mass care centers operated ,
by the Red Cross. The centers will be selected and opened based upon the l level of denand for this service.
A decontanination center will be co-located with the Reception Center.
Renoval of radioactive material from individuals and/or equipment that may have been contaminated will occur in these facilities. Most decontanination involves relatively single washing procedures. If special equignent is required, individuals will be transferred to facilities equipped to treat radiologically exposed individuals (see Section 2.8 of the fMERP for a list of facilities). The decontanination center, therefore, requires only arple washing facilities and parking areas. ,
i DPHS Laboratories contain the laboratory equipnent for the radiological ;
4 analyses necessary to support the State field monitoring activities. In this facility, radiological and chemical analyses can be perferrned on particulate filters, animal feed, liquid milk or food sarples, and water sarples. The I> laboratcry's equignent and its capabilities are listed in the PMERP.
A Locally-Operated Facilities The Seabrook Plune Exposure EPZ is served by a systen of local dispatch centers and by Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) for each of the 17.
i municipalities within the EPZ. These facilities provide Police, Fire, and i energency medical dispatching for the local nunicipalities in their respective j service areas.
! The New Castle Errnrgency Operations Center (EOC), located in the Fire J
Station, will be the center for direction and control of the emergency i Vol. 22 II-17 Rev. 2 8/86
i response in New Castle. This facility has vrple space to acetmnodate all key l Tcm officials. A generator supplies backup power for this facility. EOC f I will be activated upon declaration of an ALERT or higher classification. The 3 l
l following EOC positions shall be staffed upon activation: {

i l The relationship along the ernergency response facilities, described f j above, is shown in Figure 10. This figure show the relationships among
{
these facilities during an arrrrgency response. The State Police 3
Cormunications Center and the local dispatch centers are not shown in this figure because they are used solely for the purposes of emergency j comunications. For a description of the ccmfunications among these.
j facilities, see Section 2.2 of the f&RERP.

! E'nergency Equi;rnent i
- Radiological monitoring equiprnent consisting of low-range and high-range 4
self-reading dosimeters (COV-138 and COV-730), TLDs and survey instrtsnent kits (COV-777-1) have been issued to New Castle by fMCDA. The Assistant Fire Chief i will store, inventory, and operationally check units in his possession l quarterly (a listing is contained in Apendix C). Calitration will be
- perfortned by PNC0A annually. Repairs and replacement of instruments will be 2.
l done as needed. Supplemental monitoring equi;rnent, as required, will be q provided through fNC0A during an ernergency.

i F. ACCICENT ASSESSMENT O !
The Town of New Castle has no direct responsibilities for accident l assessrrent. The State is responsible for providing this service. [
l OPHS is responsible for accident assessment in the State of Nes l Harpshire. OPHS will coondinate and arrange for independent offsite
{ ;
l rionitoring, assess potential offsite health hart-Ms and make appropriate j protective action reconnendations to the Governce, or his authorized !
I representative and to NHCDA relative to protective actions to be taksn to l minimize public exposure during a radiological incident. !
j OPHS may, during the course of an accident and to supplement its offsite
! monitoring date, call upon town amargency personnel to take background readings ,
l in the irrmediate area of the EOC using available equipment. The request, and any special instructions, will be made frcrn the OPHS staff at the IF0, via f(HCDA l radio, to the EOC. Data will be sent to CPHS at the IFO in the sane manner. 2 The State's plans for accident assessment are described in Section 2.5 of !

G. PADTECTIVE RESPONSE \
O ;
General j l !
A There are several actions that may be taken to protect the public in the i event of an actual or potential radioactive m isess from Seabrook Station. .
- The application of a particular action would depend upon a ntnber of factors, such as time, demographic conditions, wind direction and velocity, weather conditions, and accident severity. The Governor of New Hangshire has ultimate !
responsibility and will make the final decision in consultation with the j
! Director, PNC0A, and the Director, OPHS, on reccrimended protective actions.
Protective actions include both measures to minimize direct exposure j
! within the Pitane Exposure EPZ and measures to minimize indirect exposure l l within the Ingestion Pathway EPZ. The former includes Access Control to r affected areas, sheltering, and evacuations the latter includes control cf l food, water and milk. Protective actions in New Hanpahire will generally be l l inplemented on a municipality by municipality basis. This means, for exstple, that either sheltering or evacuation would be inglernented tom wide, but one town could be advised to take shelter sile an abutting town is advised to i evacuate or take no protective action.
g ass Control 1
i Access Control can be highly effective in preventing the encsure of l personnel by barring their entrance into possible exposure areas. It consists of the establishment of barriers and the assigrynent of penonnel to prevent non-residents and psople not involved in the energency response fecm entering all er part of the Pltrne Exposure EPZ. It is also an effective means of }
i reducing traffic congestion on key madways.
i I The New Harpshire State Police will control access to the Seabrook
! Station P1 tine Exposure EPZ. Their plans for Access Control are outlined in l Section 2.6.5 of the P M ERP the Access Control points they will cover are i mapped in Section 2.6 of the fMERP.

l l
l State Police Troop A has its headquarters in Epping, New Hampshire. The r3 Troop A procedures describe the methods to be used to exclude unauthcrized l
O persons from the Seabrook Station Plune Exposure EPZ or a subsequently designatM Exclusion Area. Use of State Police for this function ellows th New Castle Police Department to concentrate on traffic contrul and las i enforcement within the Town.
Sheltering I Sheltering involves ransining inside, closing all doces and windows, turning off all ventilation systare, extinguishing all unnecessary cartustion, l and sealing, to the extent possible, all other access to the o,tdece air.
All these actions limit the exchange of indoor air with outdoor air that msy be contaninated with radioactive materials. Heavier construction materials cr increased layers of building msterial increase the amount of protection fecrn exposure to radiation. Therefore, shelter should be sought in the lowest l
level of the building (d.g., in basements), away from windws. Sheltering can reduce both whole body and thyroid radiation doses.
,m
( Generally, sheltering can provido protection for two to five hours. This degree of protection is afforded by amsll structures. It is a valid level of l protection to assune fcr the New Castle portion of the Seabrook Station Plume Exposure EPZ because most of the structures in the tom are danestic, wood j frane buildings. The main reason sheltering is a valuable protective action l 15 that it can be irrplanented quickly, usually in a matter of minutes. The i dose reduction from which an individual benefits by sheltering is a function of hos well the structure is sealed and how long the Plume takes to travel l over the area.
l Once a decision to recortnend sheltering as a protective action has been 1
Me by the Governor, thCOA will instruct the New Castle Civil Defense Director of the intent to reconTnend shelter. Subsequently the NHCCA will infenn the public via the Emergency Broadcast Systen. The EBS message will

will be b'cM ca : on EBS. l New O 7: ire sTploys the "Shelter-in-Place" concept. This concept j provides for sheltering at the location in which the sheltering instruction is !
received. Those at home are to shelter at hcmes those at work e school are l to be sheltered in the workplace or school building. Transients located in ,
buildings which may serve as suitable shelters will be asked to shelter at the f locations they are visiting if this is feasible. Transients without access to ,
suitable shelters will be advised for evacuate as quickly as possible in their l cun vehicles (i.e., the vehicles in *ich they arrived). Departing transients [
will be advised to close the windcws in their vehicles and use recirculating air '
until they have cleared the area subject to radiation. If necessary, transients j without transportation may seek directions to a nearby public building from
]
local snargency workers. Public buildings may be selected and opened as j shelters for transients, on an ad hoc basis, if an unforeseen demand for shelters arises during an energency.
Sheltering may not be considered a feasible protective action on the seacoast beaches during the sinner. For this reason, early precautionary eva-cuation of these areas may be irrplemented.
Individuals located in State parks and outdoor recreation arsas will be asked to leave open areas and leave the EPZ or enter one of the shelters, if 2 O Vol. 22 II-25 Rev. 2 8/86
J available, in the local corrmunities. ihe Deparbr;ent of Resources and Economic Develegnent, the Department of Fish and Game and the Division of Boating
(]
V Safety have the responsibility to locate and notify these individuals. The Coast Guard's responsible for notifying individuals in boats on the open sea adjacent to Seabrook Station. 2 Transients without access to shelters or vehicles in which they may evacuate when sheltering has been reccnTnended will be provided for by the Civil Defense Director. The Civil Defense Director will provide transportation for these transients to a suitable location where they may be sheltered until the emergency has terTninated or transportation can be arranged. Transportation will be arranged in conjunction with the Police Chief.
During sheltering the New Castle anergency workers will continue with their duties unless specifically directed othemise by OPHS. These duties will include verifying that the public has taken shelter and responding to the anergency service needs of the New Castle residents. Radiological exposure control efforts to be followed by the New Castle emergency workers during this time are outlined in Section II.H. of this RERP.
E_vacuation
(
If all potential radiological exposure can be avoided by inplanenting a ;
tirrely evacuation, evacuation may be tne preferred Protective Action. Where inplanentation of Protective Action is deared appropriate, and where time and plant conditions permit, svacuation will generally be the selected course of )
action. The constraint to using evacuation is the time required to initiate and inplement the aet'.oa. In addition evacuation involves significant displacement of p:r - .3, fernilies and economic activity and potential problem associated with cc aling access and maintaining the security of evacuated I 1
towns. Likewise, evacuation itself involves scrne limited potential safety j risks. These difficulties will be considered by the Governor prior to l reconnending an evacuation. l Evacuation, like sheltering, will be reconinended on a municipality-by- ]
nunicipality basis. The primary means of tecnspcrtation for evacuation will l be privately owned vehicles. Since most residents of New Castle have access to autarobiles, and since there is little dependence on public transportation s in tcm, the dependence on private vehicles is recsonable.

Local emergency planners, however, have the capability to provide supple-mentary transportation resources. Each nunicipality has provisions for eva-Q cuating residents, including transients. The nunicipalities are prepared to respond to a limited ntrnber of ad hoc requests for public transportation at the tine of the evacuation. In addition, the State is prepared to provide emergency transportation resources to those ccmnunities that have exhatested the local response capability. The NHCOA Resources Coordinatcr may dispatch either State-owned vehicles or buses owned by contractors that have agreed to supply support in the event of an emergency. The Resources CooNinator will see that vehicles and drivers are dispatched to the local EOC requesting the assistance.
Special arrangeents have been planned for the transport of students (when school is in session), institutionalized people, people without access to private automobiles and people with special needs in the Seabrook Station EPZ. Listings of residents with special needs will be regularly updated.
Updating will be performed on an annual basis (as a minimtm], and will be clearly identified in order to ensure emergency response personnel are utilizing the latest available infonnation. Between updated revisions to the listings, additional residents with special transportation needs will be handled on an ad hoc basis as they call in to the individual town EOC to request msistance.

i
Evacuation of Schools - In the event an evacuation is reconTnended during p school hours, the school will be evacuated directly from the school U prenises to the Reception Center at Dover High School in Dover, NH. The children will be supervised at the Reception Center until they can be released to a parent or guardian. NOTE: Because of the small ntsnber of ~
students and the close proximity of their residences, it is possible that all students may be reunited with their fanilies prior to a reconTnendation for protective action.
Provision of the bus for evacuation of this facility has been coor-dinated by the NHCDA. In the event of an evacuation the State Resources Cocrdinator will direct the dispatch of buses frcrn the State Staging Area to the Local Staging Area (EOC) where they will be provided maps and directions to the schools. These buses may be pre-staged at the Local Staging Area prior to an evacuation reccmnendation. Any additional bus needs can be coordinated through the IFO local liaison and the State Staging Area.
Evacuation procedures for the school are attached as Appendix F.
O O < Evacuation of Other Special Facilities - There are no other special facilities located in New Castle.
Residents Requiring Transportation - An annual survey is perforTrod by MiCDA to deterrnine exact needs through the use of postage-paid mail-back cards which are sent to all persons residing in towns located within the EPZ. Some of the New Castle residents may depend on publicly provided l transportation during an evacuation. In the event of an evacuation, the l State Resources Coordinator will direct the dispatch of the required I buses fecm tho State Staging Area to ^.he Local Staging Area (EOC). At the EOC, the buses will be provided with route maps and directions for driving along pre-designated routes for the pickup of residents requiring transportation. EBS messages will direct residents requiring transpor-tation to report to the nearest bus route location for pickup. Designated bus routes are outlined in the State public inforrnation brochure provided to all EPZ residents. Each vehicle assigned to pick up residents requiring Vol. 22 II-27 Rev. 2 8/86
transportation will collect its passengers within the Town and deliver r them to the Reception Center in Dover. Results of the survey regarding
' D] residents requiring transportation are included in Attachment 2 of the Police Chief's Emergency Procedure. Any additional unanticipated bus needs will be coordinated through the IFO local liaison.
.2 Evacuation of Special Needs Population - The Police Chief is responsible for maintaining a current listing of the New Castle residents that require evacuation by special vehicle or that only require assistance in boarding passenger vehicles as well m those requiring physical help to evacuate. This population component includes people that require removal by ambulance or special van. The list of such persons is unpublished in order to protect their privacy.
The annual distribution of public inforTnation material will contain a postage paid survey card that will allow persons Who have special needs to identify therreelves. The results of the annual mailing will be used to update the list held by local officials. In addition, the survey card may be used at any time throughout the year to inforrn NHCDA of a special need that h m developed. As a supplernent to the survey results, residents with special transportation needs not.previously identified will be handled on an ad hoc basis m they call in to the EOC to request assistance. 2 The Police Chief is responsible for ensuring transportation is provided for special facilities, people without automobiles and people with special needs. This includes those individuals previously identified and listed on the Special Needs List, and also any individuals do telephone the EOC requesting transportation assistance. Attachment 1 of the Police Chief's erergency procedure includes the results of the NHCDA survey for special needs evacuation demands. These results are listed as transportation requirements. Transportation requirements are transmitted to the town IFO Local Liaison for assignment and dispatch of appropriate transportation resources. State assistance will be requested by the town through the IF0/ EOF. One representative of the State's Bureau of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) will be located at the State EOC in Conecrd. As outlined in Section 2.8 of the NHRERP, this person is prepared to respond to requests for assistance for the Town of New
( Castle.
Vol. 22 II-28 Rev. 2 8/86
Evacuation Managanent - An evacuation of the Town of New Castle will be p expedited by evacuation management consisting of instructions to the C( public, control of access to the EPZ and maintenance of evacuation routes including traffic control at key intersections within the Town of New Castle. Provision of emergency instructions and control of access to the Seabrook Station EPZ are State responsibilities. The State's public information program is described in Section 2.3 of the UmERP, the State's Access Control plans are outlined in Secti.on 2.6 of the fM9ERP
, and in the procedures for Troop A of State Police.
The maintenance of local evacuation routes and provision of traffic control at key locations in New Castle is a local responsibility. The evacuation routes within the Town of New Castle are described in detail in Appendix E and are depicted on the large nap contained in the map pocket in this RERP. The major routes departing New Castle and leading to the Dover Reception Center are Marcy Street to Pleasant Avenue to State Street over the Memorial Bridge 3nto Maine. Continue north on Route i to Route 236 to Route 9 westbound to Route 1GA to Route 16 (see Appendix J of Voltsne 6 for more detailed descriptione) . The q Town Road Agent will ensure that all evacuation routes are serviceable k,,) ( throughout the course of an evacuation. This is expe:ted to entail nonnel adverse weather route maintenance only. He wi'J.1 use public works enployees, Town vehicles and equipment at his disposal to fultill these duties. The personnel and equipment available for assignment are outlined in Appendix C. Should the Town's highway resources be insufficient, the Road Agent may rely on support from the State for maintenance of evacuation routes. A representative of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation will be available at both me IF0/ EOF in Newington and at the State EOC in Concord. The highway maintenance support available from the State is described in Sectior 2.6.5 and in Appendix C of the NHRERP.
The Police Chief may use either his own staff or other energency l
workers assigned to support him by the Selectmen or the Civil Defense Director at the designatrad traffic control points. The personnel available for these assignments are indicated in Appendix C.

stmrer, midweek, rainy weather) . These data indicate that an evacuation can be managed with one work shift and that 24-hour operation of traffic control points will not be necessary[ Upon confirming that the evacuation of the public is emplete the Civil Defense Director will '
order any renaining New Castle emergency workers to depart. The Emergency Program Manager of Dover will be contacted to arrange for facilitics in the Quality Inn for the New Casi:lc Emergency Response Organization. It may be determined that the entire New Castle Emergency Organization will not be required. Before releasing them, their supervisors will obtain addresses and/or telephone niinbers at sich the eTergency workers may be reached when it is time to begin re-entry operations. The supervisors, in turn, will provide the Selectmen and the Civil Defense Director with their forwarding addresses.
Evacuation of Emergency Facilities - When evacuation of the general
() population is corpleted the local emergency organization including the EOC staff Nill be re-located to the designated host conmunity.
Evacuation of emergency facilities will be under the direction of the Civil Defense Director and coordinated with the IF0/ EOF in Newington.
Reception of Evacuees - Reception Centers are operated to acconmodata the emergency service needs of evacuees leaving the EPZ in the event an evacuation is recarmended. There are four Reception Centers for the l2 Seebrook Station EPZ. The Reception Center designated for use by Nea Castle residents is Dover High School in Dover, fN. In the Reception l2 Center, evacuees will be registered and provided tenporary services.
These facilities will not be used to house evacuees for prolongad periods of time. In the event mass care services becoTe necessary they will be provided in satellite mass care centers established by the Red Cross.
Vol. 22 II-30 Rev. 6 U/86
~
The operation of the Reception Centers and the co-located decontanination centers is a State responsibility. The NH Oivision of
~\ / Hunan Services manages the Reception Center activities. The resources it pmvides in these facilities are outlined in Section 2.4 of the fMRERP and in the Division's pergency response procedures. The services provided by OPHS at the co-located decontaniration facilities are outlined in Section 2.7 of the NHRERP and in the DPHS Decentanination Center Supervisor Procedures.
The State agsncies are aided by energency response personnel in the host comnunity, as well. The role played by those personnel in assisting with the reception activities is outlined in tne Dover Host Plan.
Protective Actions for Ingestion Pathway Exposure While the Town of New Castle has no resporaibilities for Protective Actions against indirect exposure, the State has several means for reducing potential risks of ingestion. OPHS, the Department of Agriculture, and the Water Supply and Pollution Control Conmission are responsible for these O
y)( activities.
The Protective Actions for indirect exposure are designed to minimize opportunities for the human constmption of radiologically contanineted material.
Preventing contamination of milk is an important elenent of the Ingestion Pathway protective actions. Actions for controlling consuTption of contani-nated milk are classified as preventive or emergency actions. Preventive actions include two approaches. One involves protecting animal feed and ordering dairy farmers to use only stored feed rather than letting the herd graze on potentially contaninated pasture. The second preventive action is for milk that has been directly contaninated. It involves delaying its release to market or diverting it to other uses which allow the radioactivity to decay before corisunption. In addition to the above, energency Protective Actions may require condemning and destroying milk supplins to prevent C\
U Vol. 22 II-31 Rev. 2 8/86
l i
distribution to the market. Control of milk will be ordered, as necessary, by I OPHS, and implenented by the New Hampshire Departnnnt of Agriculture by direct
) '
V contact with the dairy fann owners / operators.
Field and orchard crops or other foods may also be contaninated by deposition frcm the radioactive pitsne. Preventive actions require these foods to be stored until t'he radioactivity has decayed or been washed off.
Emergency protective actions will be used only if crops have been so heavily contaninated that preventive measures are ineffective. In this case, OPHS will order, and the Department of Agriculture will implement c.introl of harvesting, sale of crops, and, if necessary, condannation of contaminated -
foods. These protective actions will be implenented by direct contact with the conmercial producers.
Water supplies that receive a major portion of their veter frcrn the surrounding watershed will be the focus of protective actions for water control. As necessary, OPHS will ask the New HaTpshire Water Supply and Pollution Control Ccmnission to control the use of water frcm potentially contaninated public surface water supplius wf thin each ingestion pathway EPZ.
O y Use of public surface water supplies can be temorarily suspended until testing for radioactivity levels can be undertaken to confirm or refute the need fcr control. Wells and groundwater nouremt are not likely to be contaminated, but will be checked if they are muddy or otherwise suspected of having received runoff from contaminated soils.
Additional details on protective actions for ingestion exposure sre included in the NHRERP. Section 2.6 describes the protective actions and Appendix 0 includes lists of the agricultural and water supply facilities that may be controlled.
H. RADIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE CONTROL The objective of radiological exposure control is to protect emergency l workers by restricting their exposure to radioactive nuterials in a nunner that is consistent with the EPA Protective Action Guidelines (see Table 4) and to provide a means for monitoring and decontaninetion of individuals and nuterials.
These responsibilities are shared by State and local emergency response person- i Vol. 22 II-32 Rev. 2 8/86 I

LJi
- OPHS supports the local radiological control progran during an emergency, through the IF0, by providing accident assessmont, field monitoring, protective action reconmendations and specific guidance and direct assistance for radiolo-gical exposure problens bayond the ccrrmunity's capabilities. tNCOA provides maintenance and calibration of radiological equignent stored at the local EOC.
Oosimetry At the Site Area Emergency ECL, snergency workers will be issued two self-reading "pocket-type" dosimeters, a COV-138 (0-200rR) and a COV-730 (0-20R), and a therinolt.rninescent decimeter (TLD), in accordance with Attachment 2 of the RADEF Officer chocklist. .
Oosimeters are stored at the EOC. (Reference Attachment 1 of the Assistant Fire Chief checklist for specific quantities). fMCOA will provide sufficient quantities of equipment to the local EOC in order to provide for the anticipated need identified to fMCGA prier to en actual ernergency. If necessary, IFO supplies may be used to supplement dosimetry stored at the EOC.
(Reference the Assistant Fire Chief checklist).
The Assistance Fire Chief is responsible for ensuring that record keeping procedures and accurate records are being traintained throughout the emergency.
The Assistant Fire Chief is also responsible for collecting legs, forrre and TL0s and preparing thern for forwarding to OPHS upon terTnination of the emergency.
Table 5 provices a listing of the various exposure action levels and a brief description of the action (s) required at each level.
Emergency workers will wear their dosimetry at all times, read their self-reading dosimeters at a minimurn of every 30 minutes, maintain the appropriate forrrs and ccrrply with instructions pertaining to exposure control. If a release occurs or a orotective action reccrrinendation is nude for the cormunity, stergency workers will be instructed to read their self-reading dosimeters at 15 minute intervals.

l
Exposure Action Levels for Emergency Workers Emergency workers will notify the local EOC when they acetsnulate 175rrR on their COV-138. The Assistant Fire Chief will log the report and instruct the worker to begin reading the COV-730.
Emergency workers will again notify their supervisor at the EOC when they have acetsnulated 1R on their COV-730. The Assistant Fire Chief when given this
~
information, will log the exposure and consult with the Civil Defense Director to determine if the activity being perforned by the energency w]rker is essen-tial to response operations. If it is nonessential activity, the worker will be instructed to report to the decontamination center. If the activity.is essen-tial, one of the following options will be taken A replacement worker is provided and the emergency worker is instructed to leave the affected area.
The emergency worker is given permission to remain on duty until he/she receives an additional 1R of exposure as measured by the' COV-730.
These actions also apply at 2, 3, and 4R, respectively. .
O V Emergency workers exposure action levels may be extended in this manner to a maxinun of SR. Once a worker reaches SR on the COV-730, the worker nust be renoved from the area. Only State energency workers specifically authorized by the Director, OPHS, throue,h the IF0, will be allowed to exceed SR.
The Assistant Fire Chief will notify the IFO of the ntsnber of i erergency workers exceeding any action level. If. an energency worker reaches the SR action level, the Assistant Fire Chief will include the nane and social security ntsnber of the individJal in the report to the IFO.

Both the self-reading dosimeters and TL0s record external wholebocy gsTma exposure. They do not have the capacity to separately monitor Iodine-131.
Potassium Iodide (KI) is stored at the local EOC and at the IFO. The KI is issued to mergency workers at the same time as dosimetry, along with instruc-tions for use. Based on actual and anticipated releases, OPHS will determine when KI shall be used by State and local mergency workers. If the power plant has released I-131, and if the projected doses are expected to exceed the upper range of the general population PAG for thyroid exposure (25 ren), the use of KI for emergency workers will be considered. Authorization will be granted by the Director, DPHS, and the EOC will be infortned of the authorization by the IFO.
The EOC must then ecmnunicate instructions to take KI to each ernergency worker.
Decontanination Emergency workers, equignent used in the energency response, evacuees, evacuees' possessions and vehicles may become contanineted with radioactive par-(l ticulates that have been deposited from the Plune. These individuals, equip-U ment, and vehicles will be screened for contanination at the hosd ccnmunity Reception Center. Each ccmnunity within the Plune Exposure EPZ, however, has COV-700 survey instrunents it may use for screening for contamination of its own ernergency workers. Such screening by local officials will be conducted from the EOC, as deemed necessary by the Civil Defense Director, in accordance with Attachment 3 of the Assistant Fire Chief checklist.
If the screening identifies that the level of radioactivity on an indivi-dual exceeds 100 CPM above background levels, the contaninated person and his possessions will be sent to a decontamination facility located at each Reception Center, or, after 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> from the notice of a General Emergency, to the ernergency worker decontamination facility maintained at the Manchester Reception Center. Details on the nunitoring to be provided at the decontamination facili-ties are included in Section 2.7.5 of the NFRERP. Additional details on decon-tanination and waste disposal are provided in the CPHS Procedures.

(~ I. PUBLIC HEALTH l If, during an energency at Seabrook Station, there are ill or injured individuals who are not contaminated, they will be transported and provided medical treatment in the nonnal manner.
Given New Castle's distance from Seabrook Station, it u extremely unlikely that any of its residents would beccrne contaninated. If, however, there are individuals who are ill or injured and are suspected or known to be contaminated, they will require special considerations for transport and medical treatment. Whenever practical, such individuals will be transported to one of the following hospitals, or to another facility prepared to treat such individuals (see NHRERP Section 2.8) :
Wentworth Douglass Hospital, Dover, NH Exeter Hospital, Exeter, NH Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA is prepared to treat critical radiological cases.
The New Castle Health O#ficer has the responsibility to coodinate with the Police Chief and State personnel in matters related to the care of contaninated, ill or injured individualsc Radiation related public health matters will be referred to DPHS for appropriate reccrnnendations and/or action. The energency medical support capabilities that may be provided by l the State are described in Section 2.8 of NFRERP. !

J. RECOVERY AND RE-ENTRY l
Q} Recovery in offsite areas consists of establishing plans and procedures for deciding when and how to relax protective measures, including returning to evacuated areas. In New HaTpshire, the decision to initiate recovery and re-entry operations is made by the Governor, who will base his decision on the reconTnendations of DPHS and NHCDA. These agencies may reconTnend Recovery fran Sheltering Recovery from Evacuation or Recovery from Food and Water Control The process involved in providing reconinendations to the Governor is outlined in Section 2.9 of the NHRERP. When it has been deterynined that plant conditions have stabilized or are improving with no chance of worsening, the Governor, in consultation with the Director of NHCDA and the Director of DPHS, shall direct that recovery operations begin.
Following the initiation of recovery operations by the Governor, the Director of NHCDA or his designee will poll the heads of each of the agencies
,G (. or departments within the EOC to determine the requirernents to returT) the effected areas to their pre-sTergency condition. IteTs to be considered are listed below but should not be limited to o coordinating area radiological surveys, evaluating data and identi-fying areas to be re-entered o mobilizing necessary resources, manpower and equipments o determining transportation and traffic control requirstentss o determining additional ecmnunication needs o cetermining from local nunicipality afficials whether all utilities are functioning, food and water supplies are adequate, and i; hat the evacuation effects on public health and sanitation are mitigated, o determining the need for public announcements and EBS messagess o notifying the public at the Reception Centers, specifying area to be re-entered:
2 s
Vol. 22 II-38 Rev. 2 8/86
o deterTnining the need for Federal assistances o deterTnining security needs including police and fire protections k / o determining the availability and need of additional medical servicess and a coordinating with the ConTnonwealth of fiassachusetts.
Individuals will be advised to recover frcm shelter or re-enter after evac-uation when DPHS confirTrs that dose conTnitment levels are less than those spec-ified in Appendix T to OPHS Procedures for Seabrook Station. These levels are based on criteria derived frcyn EPA Relocation PAG's (10185 draft doctrnent) .
Should contamination levels in any affected areas exceed norTnal background levels but fall below levels prescribed in Appendix T, appropriate advisories will be issued by the State of New Hanpshire emergency response officials. The advi-series may suggest, for exanple, that sensitive segrnents of the population, such ]
as pregnant women and children, refrain frorn leaving shelter, leave the area, or delay their return. Advisories will be based on the specific conditions of the i ccmnunity.
l Recovery frcyn shelter may not be uniforTn across the affected areas. OPHS l will determine when the general population dose ccmnitments are at a level q, appropriate, according to Appendix T, for leaving the protection of a shelter k and restrning normal activities. The deterTninetions of OPHS may vary fecrn one ;
part of the affected area to another because of differences in the levels of contaninetion. Appropriate adviscries will be issued for areas where con-tanination results in radiation levels which exceed norinal background Isadings.
If an area has been evacuated, the general population will be restricted from re-entering the area, or portions of the area, until DPHS has determined that the dose ccmnitment levels do not exceed the level established in Appendix T, DPHS Procedures for Seabrook Station. Appropriate advisories will be issued for areas where contanination results in radiation levels sich exceed normal background readings.
In the case of both recovery frcm shelter and re-entry from evacuation, the goal fer long-term recovery efforts will ensure that dose conmitments to the general public are less than the non-occupational, wholebody exposure limits established by the New Hanpshire Rules for Control of Radiation which are re-flected in Appendix T.
2 b l. 22 II-38a Rev. 2 8/86
The decision for recovery and re-entry rests with the Governor, who will be advised by the Directors of NHCDA and DPHS. The Director of OPHS will review
[a} all DPHS staff determinations' on contarnination levels prior to providing advice to the Governor regarding reconmendations for the corrmunity.
Recovery and re-entry orders frorn the State will be coordinated with the Conmanity's Emergency Response Organization.. The Civil Defense Director and the Selectmen will be notified in advance, and, if evacuation has occurred, a reco-very schedule will be established. The schadule will be established after the carmunity officials have deterinined how long it will take to re-establish the Emergency Response Organization in the EDC.
This coordination will provide for an orderly return to norTnal activity as local officials are prepared to provide nonnal municipal services and responses to questions on re-entry issues that will be raised by the returning evacuees.
Recovery instructions will be broadcast to the public via the Energency Broadcast Systan. The instructions will include appropriate advisories, or that the area is considered safe, and how traffic should proceed to re-enter frorn an O/
V evacuation.

K. EXERCISES AND ORILLS (3 Exercises and drills are the methods by which plans and procedures are U tested. Exercises are realistic, planned sirrulations of accidents, designed and conducted to simulate actual eergency conditions as closely as possible.
Their purpose is to evaluate portions of ernergency response capabilities.
They will be conducted periodically as set forth in NRC and FEMA rules and in Section 3.1 of the NHRERP. New Castle will participate as required by the scenario to be used. Such participation will include the mobilization of personnel and resources, and participation in exercise critiques. An annual energency response exercise will be conducted by NHCDA using a scenario appropriate to a SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY. These exercises shall include testing and avaluation of items listed below.
- 1. Coordination arong and between offsite ernergency organizations
- 2. Emergency coninunications
- 3. Notification procedurva
- 5. Adequacy of timing
- 6. Content and understanding of procedures
- 7. Functioning of errergency equignent
- 8. Outy assignments
- 9. Public alerting systems
- 10. Emergency Broadcast Systen (EBS)
Drills are preplanned simulations in which the participants are tested on one or more procedures, or aspects of the Plan. The primary purpose of drills is to train individuals in a controlled situation. Drills are evaluated by an instructor, who will correct inappropriate performance at the time it is noted. Orills may be conducted by New Castle alone or in conjunction with State or utility drills.
Vol. 22 II-40 Rev. 2 8/86
Sctnarios for exercises and drills will ba developed to simulate actual emergency conditions as closely as possible, and to allow for spontaneous
[] decisiorinaking. Scenarios will be developed by NHCOA, NRC, FEMA, NHY, or jointly by any two or more of these agencies and will include:
- 1. The basic objective of each drill and exercise.
- 2. The date, time period, place, and participating crganizations.
- 3. A description of the sinulated event.
- 4. A time schedule of real and simulated initiating events.
- 5. A narrative description of the conduct of the exercise, the scope of participation, and terinination of the exercise.
- 6. The arrangements for distribution of advance materials to be provided to official observers.
It is the responsibility of FEMA to conduct a critique within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> aft'er cartpletion of each bi-annual exercise. All observers (Federal, State and/or local) will have the opportunity to provide input to the critique.
Each crganization will be expected to critique its own perfonnance with input from designated observers and/or participants. FEMA will evaluate observer and participant conTnents and reconTnend corrective actions if required. The Civil Defense Director will see that'any necessary corrective actions, including revisions to the New Castle RERP and procedures, are implemented.

ENCLOSURE 1
-r POTASSILF1 IODIDE ACKNOWLEDGEMEf6 FORM I will not take my first KI tablet until I receive instructions to do so. If instructed to do so, I, , understand that in order to obtain maxinun protection for the thyroid I will receive 130 milligrarns per day for the next 10 days of the thyroid blocking agent potassitsn iodide. I have been informed that this drug will block the absorption of radiciodine by my thyroid and thereby reduce the exposure to radiation of the thyroid, that potassiurn iodide does not reduce the uptake of other radioactive i materials by the body nor, does it provide protection against exposure from external radiation. I have been told that if I am allergic to iodine that I ;
should not take potassiuin iodide. I SIGNATURE ,
