PURPOSE OF fEW HAMPSHIRE RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN (NHRERP) (/^) This Radiological Emergency Responso Plan (RERP) has been developed by the v New Hmpshire Civil Defense Agency (NHCOA) in accordance with the planning guid-ante outlined in NUREG-0654 FEMA-RER-1 Rev. 1. The RERP is a part of the New Haripshire State Energency Plan and, as such, is a state level enurgency opera-tions manual. The purpose of the RERP is to provide the State with capability for a rapid and coordinated response to any possible emergency at conmarcial nuclear powar plants in or near the State of New Hmpshire. Such an omorgency response capability is considered essential to ensure the protection of the citizens of New Harpshire in the event of a potential or actual radiological release from an operating nuclear power plant. The Emergency Planning Zones (EPZ) of three nuclear pwer plants enconpass parts of the State of New Hartpshire. The Seabrook Nuclear P wer Plant (SS) is located on the coast of new Hmpshire in the Tcwn of Seabrook. Most of its Plume Exposure EPZ, ar.d nuch of its Ingestion Pathway EPZ, fall within the State's boundaries. The Vemont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant (VY) is located in Vernon, Ven,ont. This plant is just across the Connecticut River from Hinsdale, i p Ntw Hmpshire. The Plume Exposure EPZ for this plant includes all, or part of, V five Nea Hartpshire twns. The Venrent Yankee Ingestion Pathwsy EPZ covers a large portion of southwest Nw Hanpshire. The Yankee Nuclear Power Plant (Yankee) is located on the Deerfield River in Rowe, Massachusetts, about one mile south of the Vemont-Massachusetts border. The Ingestion Pathway EPZ for this nuclear power plant covers a large portion of southwest Nea Hanpshire. T53 locations of these three nuclear PNer plants, and their EPZ's are shown on , Figure 1. Federal, State, local, and private agencies, including the Utility conpanies that operate the nuclear pwer plants, conprise the overall Errergency Response Organizations for each EPZ. The RERP identifies the Stato, local and private agencies that will respond to an incident with potential effects on offsite locations in New Hmpshire (i.e., at locations beyond the nuclear pNer plant site boundaries.

The RERP provides for a coortfinated response by outlining the Emergency Response Organization structure and responsibilities of each agency. Likewise, f\ the RERP outlines the support and cooperation required in the event of a nuc. ear (J) mergency from the nuclear power plant operators, Federal emergency response agencies, and frm other states within the region. The RERP provides descriptions of: o Classification of nuclear mergencies using the f aur Emergency + Classification Levels (ECL's) outlined in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654 FEMA-REP-1 Rev. 1. o Met' ads utilized to notify New Hartpshire State egencies, local offi-cials, private organizations and the public in the event of a nuclear anergency. o Ernery,ency ccTrnunicatioins systans to be errployed during a nuclear emergency. o Public information describing emergency response plans and providing overgency response instructions for the public to follow during a nuclear mergency. (v) o Emergency facilities and equiprnent available for use by the Emergency Response Organization during a nuclear mergency. I o Means to be anployed to assess the offsite consequences of an ensite accident. o Protective actions to be inplemented by the Emergency Response Organ-ization in the event of an energency. o Means for controlling radiological exposure of mergency workers in-volved in protective msponse activities. o Medical and public health services available to individuals injured or radiologically contarninted during a nuclear anergency. o Plans for safe re-entry and recovery of an EPZ at the conclusion of an anergency, o Exercises and drilla to be conducted to evaluate major oortions of O l Vol. 1 -iii- Rev. 2 8/85 .

PART 1.0 - PURPOSE OF PART 1.0 (3
'd The purpose of part 1.0 of this RERP is to describe the New Hanpshire State Emergency Response Organization. Section 1.1, Authorities ared References, cites the legal authority for actions to be taken by State and private agencies during an emergency response. Section 1.2, Concept of Operations, provides an overview of the organization including the spet,1fic role of each agency.
The assignment to a role in the Emergency Response Organization rreans that each agency assumes the specific responsibilities listed in Section 1.3. During an stergency respor.se, agencies are required to meet their responsibilities by taking specified actions at each Emergency Classification Level. These actions cre detailed in step-by-step emergency response irrplementation proce-dures written specifically for each agency. Current procedures for each agency within the Emergency Response Organization for Verrnont Yankee and Seabrook Station are located in Volumes 3 and 4 of the New Harrpshire Radiological Drergency Response Plan. e 1 Vol. 1 1.0-1 Rev. 2 8/86
1.1 AUTHORITIES Afl0 REFERErlCES 1.1.1 Purpose 4 This section cites the legal authority and agreornents which fom the bases-for-actions taken by the flew Hzrnpshire State Emergency Response Organization. 1.1.2 Authority The flew Hampshire Civil Defense Act (RSA 107, as amended) and The-flew Hampshire Public Defense and Veterans' Affairs Act (RSA 107-B, as zynended) pro-vide the authority for the Governor and the Director of flHCOA to develop and imicrnent this RERP. .0ther flew Hampshire statutes provide authority' to other agencies for specific actions which may be necessary during an cmergency response. RSA 107 provides the Governor with sufficient authority to implernent all provisions of the RERP. For actions requiring special authority RSA 107:8 grants extraordinary powers to the Governor upon declaration that an emergency exists. These rtxtraordinary powers perinit implanentation of protective measures which may be necessary under a SITE AREA EMERGErlCY or GErlERAL EMERGErlCY Classification Level. Pursuant to flew Hanpshire RSA 107-8: A and 107:6, the Governor has the authority to assune general direction and control over the Civil Defense Agency and to assme direct operational control over the Civil Defense functions with-in the State in the event of the occurrence of a disaster beyond local control. Civil Defeise functions are defined as the "preparation for and carrying out of all cinergr ncy functions. .." RSA 107:2 1. "Disaster beyond local control" encan-passess both natural and man-made Ernergencies.107:1. The Governor is further crnpowered to declare a State of Civil Defense ener-gency, and, in accordance with said declaration, to take steps to pecmote and secure the safety and protection of flow Hanpshire citizens. , In the event the Governor is not available, RSA 107:6 (I-a) perinits an criergency succession line to be established by regulation. The succession line established pursuant to RSA 107:6 (I-a) is solely for Ernergency response and may include appointed offices of State government as the Governor deoms necessary to ensure reasonable continuity of government responsibility. ! Ouring an anergency response, agencies may be asked to take actions which Vol. 1 1.1-1 Rev. 2 8/8B
. . . , _ - - , .. , - - - . , . - - ..-.~
require a legal basis. Many.of those actions are within the agency's-normal sphere of legal authority. Table 1.1-1-lists the statute, regulation, and other legal authority for actions which agencies may have to take. In the event that a municipal govarnnent for whatever reason is unable to fulfill its responsibilities pursuant to the local RERP, the State of flew Hampshire provides such assistance as necessary in accordance with Volume 2, 2 Appendix G. RSA 107:10 provides towns and cities with sufficient authority to create a local Civil Defense organization and to develop local plans. RSA 107:10 also provides special powers to act for the protection of public health and safety during an energency response. Such actions are specified in local plans cited ' in Part 6.0 of this RERP. fleither the local elected officials nor the local Civil Defense Director has the authority to declare an crnergency pursuant to RSA 107. Local actions are subject to flHCOA direction and coordination during an emergency response in accordance with RSA'107. 1.1.3 Delegation of Authority
- 1. The Governor of the State of flew Hcinpshire, in accordance with the O. provisions of flew Hanpshire laws (see 1.1.2 above) is responsible for o,ergency response by State goverrnent. The achinistrative authority of the Covernor may be delegated to the flHCOA Director. The Director may sub-delegate such authority as provided in RSA 107:S (VI).
Section 1.3 of the RERP specifies the responsibilities delegated to fHCDA and others. l
- 2. The Board of Selectman or the City Council, acting through their local Civil Defense Director, is responsible for the local RERP and l for crnergency response during a radiological incident according to RSA 107:10. The local Civil Defense Director operates subject to 4
direction and control of City Council or Board of Selectmen (RSA 107:1). o art 6.0 of the RERP specifies the responsibilities dele-gated to town organizations and officials. O Vol. 1 1.1-2 Rev. 2 8/86 4

In the event of an accident at the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station, twenty-one local Emergency Response Organizations become part of the coordinated, offsite energency response. Four are the host comunities which would provide Reception Center capability for any evacuation of the Seabrook Station EPZ. Tnese twenty-one local governments, which will receive direction and information 2 fran NHCDA during an ancrgency, are indicated as reporting to a NHCOA IFO Controller. The twenty-one municipalities are listed on Figuce 1.2-1. Similar1.y, six local goverrments become part of the New Hartpshire Emergency Response Organization in the event of an emergency at the VY Nuclear Power Plant. Five of these ccTmunities are either totally or partially within the VY Plume Exposure EPZ. The City cf Keene is the host comunity in which reception facilities for the New Harrpshire portion of the VY EPZ are located. In the event of an ernergency at SS, the State would coordinate its p anergency response activities with New Harpshire Yankee (NHY) and with the 'v! Massachusetts Emergency Response Organization. In the event of an accident at VY Power Station, New Hartpchire would coordinate its activities with Vermont Yankee Power Corp. and with the Vennont and Massachusetts Emergency Response Organizations. In the event of an accident at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station in Rowe, Massachusetts, the limited response required for the Ingestion Pathway EPZ would be cocndinated with the Vennont and Massachusetts Emergency Response Organizations. An accident affecting any of the three nuclear power plants activates the New Ha pshire Emergency Rwponse Organization which will coordinate its activi-ties, as necessary, with FEMA and the NRC who are supported in turn by the agen-cies in the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP). If necessary, New Hampshire may request Federal support as specified by the FRERP (See Section 1.4). It is anticipated however, that most incidents, (as defined by Appendix 2 A, NUREG-0654) occurring at any of the nuclear generating facilities affecting New Harpshire will be of such a nature and duration that the resources of the licensee, the State of Nea Harpshire, and local governrnents will be adequate to p) cope with the situation and protect the health and safety of the people of New Harps hire.

1.2.5 Bnergency Response Facilities The State RERP calls for the establishment of energency response facilities O in Concord, NH and near the appropriate EPZ. The facilities are physical loca-tions which will be used to direct operations and provide services to people in the EPZ during an energency response. The facilities are to be staffed with representatives of the anergency response agencies. The facilities and their , locations differ fran plant to plant. The' energency response facilities which are part of this RERP include State, local, federal and Utility-operated facilities. The State facilities l2 ' include the State 8nergency Operations Center (EOC) in Concord, NH,' an Incident Field Office (IFO) located near each of the two Plune Exposure EPZs, Reception Center (s) near the VY and Seabrook Station EPZs and OPHS laboratories in Concord, NH. In the Seabrook Station EPZ, two transportation staging areas are i operated by the State. Each town or city included in the VY or Seabrook Station Emergency Response Organization operates an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Each of the three Utilities operates an Energency Operations ' Facility (EDF) and 'f a Media Center. The Federal Response Center (FRC) and Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessnent Center (FRMAC) ney be established as part of the f-~g Federal response. Detailed descriptions of these facilities and staffing (s / assignments are contained in Section 2.4 of this RERP. I a i O Vol. 1 1.2-10 Rev. 2 8/86
1.3 RESPONSIBILITIES ID 1.3.1 Purpose The purpose of this section is to identify the specific responsibilities of each agency in the Emergency Response Organization. The responsibilities are divided into "ccTmon" and "specific" responsibilities. These responsibil-ities essentially describe the job that must be done by each egency to effect-ively impleTent this RERP. 1.3.2 Conmon Responsibilities Each agency in the Emergency Response Organization has the following responsibilities:
- 1. Maintaining an adequate anergency response capability by assuring that the agency can be notified and mobil-ized on a 24-hour basis. See Section 2.2.3 for specific notification capabilities. 2
- 2. Assuring the agency can support the anergency response effort on a 24-hour basis (two 12-hour shifts) for the
() duration of a protracted anergency period.
- 3. Staffing the State's energency response facilities as l described in Section 2.4 of this RERP.
- 4. Keeping the overgency contact telephone directory (Appen-dix K) current by reporting energency response personnel anci telephone ntmber changes as soon as they occur to NHCOA.
- 5. Assuring that each monber of the agency assigned to participate in stergency response is knowled eable of both agency and individual responsibilities as well as with agency implanentation procedures. Each assigned individual should also be generally fanilier with the RERP.
O> < Vol. 1 1.3-1 Rev. 2 8/86
- 6. Assuring that a copy of the corplete State RERP,
,, including local goverrment plans, is accessible to
()s emergency response personnel.
- 7. Participating in energency response drills and exercis es .
- 8. Designating an anergency planning coordinator to participate with planners of NHCOA in RERP and procedures develognent and revisions.
1.3.3 Specific Responsibilities In addition to the comnon responsibilities each agency included in the Emergency Response Organization has its own specifically assigned respon-sibilities. These responsibilities are described below. PRIMARY AGENCIES
- 1. Governor's Office As Chief Executive of the State of New Hanpshire the Governor has ultimate connand and control of State resources. In the event the Governor is unable
(~')
'* to perforTn his duties, they will be performed by his successor as defined by the l\ew Hanpshire constitution. As specified in that document, the line of succession is j President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer. For Radiological Emergency Response, a significant 2
anount of this authority has been delegated to NHCOA. Three tasks have not been delegated. These are authorizing protective actions, cooNination of State policy with other States involved in a Plume Exposure EPZ emergency responce, and representing the State to the news media. Task one involves deciding when and wtiere to authorize any of four protective, actions for protecting public health from radiological releases. The protective actions are: o Control of access to the EPZs o Sheltering
)
Vol. 1 1.3-2 Rev. 2 8/86
o Evacuations and I
,m o Regulating food and water supplies. \
V The protective action decision is based upon recornnendations by NHCOA and OPHS and is primarily detennined by the need to protect public health in accordance with EPA Protective Action Guidelines. The Governor may order any one or more of these measures to protect public health. To authorize an evacuation the Governor must first declare an emergency under RSA 107. Subsequently, NHCDA can irtplenent the evacuation. The second task involves coordination anong the states involved in a Plune Exposure Pathway anergency response. An incident at VY involves the States of Massachusetts, New Hangshire, and Vennant. An incident at SS involves the States of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The Governor represents New Hanpshire for coordinating policy level decisions such as authorizing an evac-uation. Periodic contacts with other states will be treintained throughout the overgency. The Governor also ensures that State actions are consistent 2 with any multi-state agreenent concerning radiological emergency response or g mutual 'id . These agreanents are listed in Section 1.1.4 of this RERP. V The third task involves representing the State in briefings for the news media. The Governor cr the Governor's Authorized Representati,e will receive status reports on a regular basis from NHCDA and will have a representative assignW to the VY Media Center or the SS Media Center. A representative of the Governor's Office will distribute news releases prepared by the Governor's staff in conjunction with NHCDA Media Representative located in the VY or SS l Media Center. The Governor or the Governor's designee will represent the State 2 in news conferences and interviews or in public statanants for the purpose of l presenting explanations of New Hanpshire policy and decisions during an crergency response. 1 1

l
- 2. New Hanpshire Civil Defense Agency The New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency (NHCDA), on behalf of.the Governor of New Hanpshire, is responsible for connand and control of the emergency response. This involves eleven tasks: 1) activation of energency response faci-lities 2) s directing and coordinating operations as the.srergency develops: 3) reconmendation of protective measures 4) irrplanentation of protective measures
- 5) coordination of local, State, regional and Federal assistances 6) media sup-ports 7) management of re-entry 8) ccmnunications planning: 9) public educa-tions 10) training of energency response personnels and 11) RERP planning. ,
The first task involves notification and mobilization of the agencies included in the Emergency Response Organization. NHCOA will receive notifica-tion frorn the Utility via State Police. tNC0A must then notify the Governor and : all other agencies involved in emergency response, except OPHS and Southwestern Fire Mutual Aid or Rockinghan County Oispatch Center, which are notified directly by State Police. tNC0A must assure that the agencies send the pre-assigned staff to the appropriate Emergency Resporse Facility. If the
- designated individuals or their alternate (s) do not arrive, NHC0A assigns indi-viduals to perform the functions of the agency as specified in the agency's pro- (
cedures. i Fcr any Emergency Classification Level at Vermont Yankee, NHCDA must assure that the State EOC in Concord is activated imnediately. The IFO is acti-l2 vated at the ALERT Emergency Classification Level. The six local EOCs must be i activated at the SITE AREA EMERGENCY classification level, but may be activated at the UNUSUAL EVENT or ALERT Emergency Classification Level at the discretion of the local government. The Reception Center in Keene is fully activated only { at the GENERAL EMERGENCY classification level. l For an event at Seabrook Station , NHCOA must assure that the State EOC in Concord is activated imnediately. The IF0/ EOF is activated at the ALERT
&nergency Classification Level. The 17 local EOCs must be activated at the SITE AREA EMERGENCY classification level and may be activated at the UNUSUAL EVENT or !
1 l I l O Vol. 1 1.3-4 Rev. 2 8/86 3 1
\
ALERT Emergency Classification Level at the discretion of the local government. In the event a municipality is unable to respond NHC0A will assure that energency response personnel and resources are mobilized to coortfinate cmorgency (V; res ponse. One or more of the Reception Centers in Manchester, Salon, Dover or Rochester is fully activated when an evacuation is recomended. The second task involves maintaining a coordinated response as the amergency develops. NHCDA notifies all the Energency Responso Organizations of changes in the Emergency Classification Level. It must assure that at each level, the actions specified in the agency procedures are carried out. The NHCDA is responsible for notifying the public at the SITE AREA EMERGENCY classi-fication level. NHCDA must assure that the public notification actions are coordinated within New H<npshire and a,ong the three states for VerTaont Yankee, or between the two s'.ates for Seabrook Station. Within New Ha,pshire, flHCDA first nobilizes the Emergency Response Organizations, then activates the Emergency Broadcast Systen and the audible alert system, including activation of the siren alerting system in the Seabrook Station EPZ through the Rockinghan County Dispatch Center, or in the VY EPZ through Southwestern Fire Mutual Aid. Notification of the public, is delegated to the NHCDA and is undertaken O) automatically without prior consultation with the Governor in the event of an irrnadiate declaration of a SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL Er"cRCENCY. The third task involves reconinending appropriate protective actions to the Governcr as indicated by CPHS' assessment of the accident. Protective measures, l acccss control, sheltering, evacuation, and regulation of food and water supplies, are undertaken only upon authorization by the Governor. Protective , action reccmendations are made jointly by NHCDA and CPHS. NHCDA is respon- l sible fcr assessing field conditions and the capability of the Energency Response Crganization to implanent the protective measures. It must also assure coordination with Vemont and Massachusetts for the VY and the Yankee EPZs and with Massachusetts #cr the Seabrook Station EPZ. l I (3 V Vol. 1 1.3-5 Rev. 2 8/SS
The fourth task involves implementing the protective actions authorized by the Governor. This involves ccrTnunicating with the crnergency response agencies and the local governments and assuring that procedures to impicrnent a protuative (' )'i \ action are followed. NHCOA also directs EBS to broadcast the appropriate infor-nation messages. For evacuation of the VY EPZ, the flHCDA IFO Controller transmits the authorization for opening of the Reception Center in Keene. For Seabrook Station, the IFO Controller transmits the authorization for opening onc or more of the four Reception Centers for the Seabrook Station EPZ. l2 The fifth task involves providing support to agencies as requested. Support may be obtained frcrn State, regional or Federal organizations. All requests for assistance from agencies located in ConcoN, NH are channeled to the flHCOA Cperations Officer in the State EOC. Requests for assistance by agencies in the EPZ ere channeled through the flHCOA IFO Controller. The NHCOA Resources Coordinator in the State EOC, maintains the status of resourceu available from agencies in the Emergency Response Organization. The Operations Controller in the State EOC maintains contact with FEMA and will transmit any request for non-technical assistance. The f1HCOA Operations Officer cooMinates the use of support resources authorized by the Director. m
- The sixth task involves providing infomation and assistance in writing neas releases for the Governor's Office. The flHCDA Director in the State EOC, is responsible for keeping the Governor's office infonned of the status of the emergency response in New Hampshire as well as the status of events in Venncnt and Massachusetts for VY and Yankee and in Massachusetts for Seabrook Station.
Coordination of news releases is facilitated through the VY Media Center or through the Seabrook Station Media Center. The infomation provided by fjHCOA is used by the Governor's office to carry out its media responsibilities as 2 primary spokesperson for the State of New Hampshire. The seventh task involves reccmnending and managing, along with OPHS, re- i entry of the EPZ after the energency has been teminated. The re-entry decision l is made by the Governor based on public health considerations. Onderly re-entry activities must be assured by NHCOA, and coordinated through the IFO Controller. l 4 1 I U Vol. 1 1.3-9 Rev. 2 8/86 I l l l
The eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh tasks require actions before an I snergency event occurs. They provide for RERP development and &nergency Response l Organization readiness. Cannunications planning entails ensuring that the (x' >) planning, implamentation, and reintenance of viable anergency connunication I systms are carried out. The net essary systens must provide for primary and backup equipnent linking all fixed State and local energency facilities and essential field teams. Public education entails canpiling and imple-menting a progran to infonn the public of the anergency planning program for each of the Plume Exposure EPZs in New Hanpshire. The progran consists of issuing sJCh educational infonnation both before and during an anergency. NHCOA is also responsible for maintaining the RERP in such a renner as to assure its werkebility and cocpliance with Federal guidelines. This includes conducting drills and exercises of all er part of the RERP to evaluate, under field con-ditions, the effectiveness of various plan canponents. The drills and exercises also serve to test the level of training and readiness of anergency personnel and cust be conducted at least annually. Training of energency personnel is the responsibility of NHCOA though it is carried out via the training prograns of the various anergency response agencies. (n) The activities of the NHCOA are directed by the Director, or by the Direc- , tcr's designee.
- 3. Division of Public Health Services The Division of Public Health Services (OPHS) is responsible for eight tasks. These include: 1) accident assessnent, 2) reca7mendation of protective 2 actions, 3) radiological exposure control, 4) decontanination, 5) radiological waste disposal, 6) re-entry, 7) request for regional and Federal radiological assistance, and 8) reintaining lists of hospitals with radiological treabment capability.
r~h \ I N,,) Vol. 1 1.3-7 Rev. 2 8/86
The first task involves providing NHCDA with a continuous assessment of the
,3, status of the accident at the power plant and the predicted or current radia-t i V tion levels in the Plume Exposure and Ingestion Pathway EPZs. To develop 2 information about the emergency status at the power plant, OPHS must maintain contact with Utility representatives at the EDF. To develtc information about radiation levels in the EPZ, DPHS will also conduct its own monitoring. This includes taking sanples at ground level and, if necessary, aerial monitoring of 2 the plune. Aerial monitoring will be conducted'es described in Appendix C of the DPHS Procedures. Aerial monitoring will be carried out using DPHS monitor-ing personnel and flational Guard, if available, or Civil Air Patrol aircraf t.
~
OPHS may use Federal resources if the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Plan (FRMAP) is invoked prior to the need for aerial monf toring
~
and if the resources are readily available (see Section 1.4 for information 'on. , Fsderal resources and their availability) . Initial sgrple analysis is conduct [ed
'~
out the field by the monitoring teans and at the IFO using sanple screening' . - equ ant. Ccrplete andysis will be carried out, if necessary, at the DPHS
'I laboratory in Concord or at laboratory facilities available under the fjew _
England Ccrpact on Radiological Health Protection ol' FPAAP (see Section 1.4 for a description of the Ccrpact) . All laboratory analysis activities will be car-L/ ried out under pricrities assigned by DPHS accident assessment staff at the IFD, and will be coordinated by the DPHS Laboratory Supervisor. DPHS monitoring data will be integrated with data available fran the , Utility monitoring efferts and oispersion m jeling resulta ' hat t may be available. The accident status and monitoring and modeling data are provided to NHCDA in the fem of a ccrnprehensive accident assessment on a timely basis. - In addition, tha NH Department of , Agriculture will provide infornation on the location o# agricultural facilities to allow D H$ to develop an assessment of exposure risks via the food chain. Information on the location of drinking water supplies is provided by the Water Supply Division of the New Hangshire Water Supply and Pollution Control Ctrnission. Staff frcyn tb !se agencies may be called upon to collect sanples for testing. l OV ' I I Vol. 1 1.3-8 Rev. 2 8/86 4
Task one constitutes an assessment of the accident and provides the (c)
>J '~'
technical basis for decisions regarding protective measures which may be authorized by the Governor. All such decisions are made with reference to FDA and EPA Protective Action Guid711nes (PAGs) . Interpretation of these guideli-non, including recorTnendations to allow exposures in excess of the guidelines, is the responsibility o# the Director, OPHS. The second task involves reccrinending specific pro':ective actions which the data indicate should be taken to protect public health. Thi", recarT andation is made to the Governor in conjuncticn with NHCDA's assesanent of field conditions , and capabilitics to inplanent a given protective actio1. Nevertheless, it is the paranount responsibility of DDHS to assure that actions taken by the Governor are based c"' sn accurato assessment of the current and potential risks , to public health resulting frcrn direct exposure or ingestion pathways. '.. v The third task involves raciological exposure control to protect the health , and s afety of anergency workers who may have to rana!n in the EPZ after sheltering or evacuation of the general public has been roccnTnended. To protect ' O anergency workers, DPHS will molitor radiati'n exposure by assuring that local .'X V EDCs and other energency worker control ceQrs equip each worker with self-reading and permanent record dcsimeters and maintain accurate exposure records for each worker. Maintenance of personnel records and issuance of exclusion area passes will be conducted frcrn the VY IFO c' the Seabrook Staticn IFD/EDF. OPHS must 2 exercise a reasonable level of supervision to assure that anergency workcrs are
~
not exposed beyond the limits specified in the PAGn. It may be necessary for - energency workers to take protective actions beyond these to limit exposure. In these instances, the DPHS Director has the sole renponsibility for specifying ' the protective actions includi ng the afninistratial of potassitri iodide (KI), O V Vol. 1 1.3-9 Rev. 2 8/Bfi n
l s i n Potassium iodide (KI) has been predistributed to each local Er1C, to the ] f .s 4 Q IF0/ EOF, to the Scabrook Station EPZ transportation staging areas, and to other
^
points of dispatch for issuance with each stato and local anorgency woricr's dosinotry. Information on KI and its use arc alac ctrvided. KI and instruc-tions for use have also been distributed for use by the staff and residents / patients of nursing homes and hospitals in the Seabrook Station EnZ, and by the staff and irniates of the Rockinghan County Jail. Instructions to take the KI will be provided fron'Cc h0/ EOF through the appropriate ctrmand and corrnuni-
'cationsc%arh.cIn. Instructions will be given to state and local a,crgency workers, to the health cpro facilities, and to the county jail, after the Director, OPHS, has granted approval. Approval may be nado on a town-by-town or facility-by-facility basis. The DOHS policy on the use of KI is described
'in Section 2.7 '
1 The fourth task involves specification of criteria for determining the need for decontamination of the general public and omergency workers, and their equirment ar.d suoplie.3 Occontaninetion for state personnel operating fran the g IF0/EDF will be carried out at that location. Monitoring and any necessary de-U contanination of the general l.Clic will occur at the decontanination facility co-located with the r6ception qcnters in host etenunities (Keene, for VorTnont Yankee, and Manchester, S3lem, Rochester, and Dover for Seabrook Station). During an evacuation, decontamination of o,crgency workers from the Scabrook Station EPZ, and their equignent and supplies, will be carried out at the decon-tanination facility associated with the rcception center for their comunities. Once evamation has been .mpleted, decontamination of statt and local oncrgency workers leaving the EoZ will be centralized to the decontamination facility at the '1onchester reception center. Reception center monitoring and decontamina-tion of the ' general public and anergency workers will be done by trained host etmunity personnel using procedures developed by DDHS. Supervision of these activities will be by DPHS personnel. The fifth task involves providing for proper disposal of all waste
' materials that have been radiologically contaminated or which result from the operation of the decontanination conters. Disposal shall be in accordance with CPHS procedures and State / Federal standards for radiological waste disposal, w
Vol. 1 1.3-10 Rev. 2 S/85
The sixth task for OPHS is deterTnining when to allow re-entry of the Eo2 by p onergency workers and/or the general public after an evacuation. The re-entry b recomendation is based on EPA Relocation PAGs (draft June 1986) which include a balancing of the ranaining radiation risk and the econonic effects resulting from the evacuation. Based on these reconnendations, the Governor will authorize re-entry operations to begin. Re-entry may be authorized on a selec-tive basis, i.e., on a town-by-town or area-by-area basis, as warranted by the levels of contanination. The seventh task is to request necessary additional technical assistance through the tea England Canpact on Radiological Health Protection or through the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Plan (FRMAP), and to control and coordinate all resources and staff involved in accident assessment activi-ties (including field monitoring, sample collection, aerial monitoring, and laboratory analysis), regardless of their source. Requests for assistance will be initiated by the DPHS accident assessment staff at the IF0, must be approved by the Director, CPHS, and will be made after consultation with the Governor's Authorized Representative. Additional staff and resources co7nitted fran non-O DPHS agencies will work under the direction and supervision of the DPHS IFO accident assessment staff. CPHS will provide personnel and additional support to assura appropriate coordination and continuity of operations among all resources oevoted to the accident assessment effort. The eighth task involves developing and maintaining a list of the State's medical facilities with radiological treatment capabilities. Using this list, OPHS can provide a referral for individuals who are exposed to, or who are con-taninated by radiation beyond what can bo handled at the host connunity decon-tanination facilities. 2 The activities of the Division of Public Health Services are directed by the Directcr, or by the Director's designee. O Vol. 1 1.3-11 Rev. 2 8/85
StPPORT AGENCIES V 1. New HaTpshire Department of Agriculture The New Har pshire Department of Agriculture is responsible for two energency response activities. The first supports OPHS reconTnendations for pro-tective measures associated with the Ingestion Pathway EPZ. This includes the collection of sa1ples from the food chain for radiological analysis by OPHS to confirTn protective measures and to provide the basis for corrective actions. The Department of Agriculture will provide OPHS with accurate descriptions of the locations of agricultural facilities. Lists have been established for Yankee, Seabrook Station, and VY Ingestion Pathway EPZs. Each list includes, for every agricultural facility within 50 miles of the power plant, the nane and location of the facility shown by town. l The second task involves regulation of agricultural facilities. If the Governce decides that protective measures nust be taken to protect public health fran contaninated food, the Department of Agriculture provides the personnel and regulatory mechanism to implement the protective measures. At the direction of Q NHCDA, the Department will contact every radiologically exposed agricultural facility in the appropriate 50-mile Ingestion Pathway EPZ to issue orders regu-lating food handling and storage. All Department of Agriculture activities will be directed by the Carmissioner cc, in the Conmissioner's absence, by the Stat e Veterinarian. Requests for information will be directed to the Conmissioner by DPHS. Requests for regulatory actions will be directed to the CaTmissioner by NHCDA Operations Officer in the State EOC on behalf of the Governor.
- 2. NH Civil Air Patrol The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is responsible for providing support services fo' four onergency response activitius. The first task involves providing both air and ground transportation to enable rapid deployment of key officials in the State's Emcrgency Response Organization. CAP will prwide air shuttle service between the airport in Concord and the Dillant-Hopkins Municipal Airport, in the Vol. 1 1.3"12 Rev. 2 8/88 1
event of an incident at Vennont Yankee, and between Concord Airport and Pease AFB, in the event of an incident at Seabrook Station. The Keene Squadron of l CAP will provide ground transpnetation between 0111 ant-Hopkins Municipal Airport and the Incident Field Office (IFO), or the VY Emergency Operations. Facility (EOF). The Seacoast Squadron will provide ground transportation be-tween Pease AFB and the Seabrook IF0/ EOF. The Concord Wing will provide ground l 7' transportation between the Concord Airport and the State Emergency Operations Center (EOC)'at the Civil _ Defense Agency offices. The second task is to provide any air support that may be required by the Division of Public Health Services (OPHS) . This support will inclyde air transportation of field samples frcri either 0111 ant-Hopkins Municipal Airport or Pease AFB to Concord Airport. Air transportation will also be provided upon 2 request for OPHS personnel conducting aerial monitoring. CAP will also provide ground transportation for incoming semples. This will entail delivery of samles and/or OPHS personnel frcm Concord Airport to the OPHS laboratories. The third task involves aerial observation of the EPZ as may be required by the NHCOA. This support includes providing an aircraft and pilot to provide infennation on road and traffic conditions. These flights will be nede out of the Dillant-Hopkins Municipal Airport for VY and out of Pease AFB for Seabrook Station. The fourth task is to provide back-up comunications capability to NHCDA ard OPHS. A request for back-up equipnent will be mada only in the event of failure in the primary comunication system. # All CAP activities will be directed by the Conmander of the CAP or by the Ccmnander's designee. Requests for support frorn CAP will be directed to the Comander cr the CAP representative through the NHCDA Operations Officer frcm the State EOC. j i l
- 3. Emergency Medical Services EMS is responsible for obtaining antulance service for three emergency O
response tasks. l' Vol. 1 1.3-13 Rev. 2 8/86
The first task involves evacuation of non-ambulatory individuals requiring 2 q arrtulance service. It is the responsibility of EMS to obtain a census of the %) ntmber of additional ambulances required during an evacuation from each of tne five conmunities in the VY EPZ and each of the 17 carrunities in the Scabrook Station EPZ via NHCDA, In the event an evacuation is authorized by the Governor, NHC0A will coordinate with EMS to obtain aTtulances to support local evacuation activities as needed. 4 second task involves transporting individuals exposed to radiation levels which require thcm to obtain treatment.

The flRC rectrinendations will beccmo part of the CPHS recortnendation to fHCDA and the Governor. 1.4.5 Anticipated floods for Federal Assistance In addition to the assistance that may be requested frcm the Federal Gov-errrnent on an as needed basis, specific Federal assistance will be required by the State of fled Hampshire.
- 1. Coast Guard Support - In the event it becamcs necessary to con-trol access to the Seabrook Station Plume Exposure EPZ, boats will have to be restricted frcrn the coastal waters. For water areas outside the i h d-iate harbor the Coast Guard will be asked to provide support for regulating boating activity. flotification of the Coast Guard will be mado directly by fMCDA.
r ( 2. FAA Succort - In the event of an incident at either VY or Soabrook Station the FAA liaison in Concord, fH will be requested to de-clare the EPZ araa a restricted flight zone. 1.4.5 State Support for Federal Assistance Upon activation of the FRERP, fjRC, FEMA and DOE will dispatch personnel to l, the appropriate trnergency response facilities (seo Section 2.4). The State operates a Stato EOC which is equipped to support FEMA representatives. The
! licensee operates an EOF which will support f1RC and State of tjew Hypshire l Energency Response personnel. The primary technical liaison between Federal.
Utility, and State representatives will occur in the EOF. A dedicated ccrruni-cation link will ce established between the EOF and the State E00 in Concord. I Air transportation will be provided between Concord, fH and the EPZ by fH Civil Air Patrol (CAP). CAD will also provide ground transportation for i O Vol. i 1.4-8 Rev. 2 8/80 1

(See Table 1.4-2 for airport capabil.ity.) \v) Food and lodging facilities will be nude available for Federal representa-tives that must ramain in the arca for a protracted energency. Descriptions of the Federal Emergency Response Facilities are presented in Section 2.4. ; 1.4.7 Technical Assistance from the FRMAP and Conpact It is the intention of DPHS to carry out all accident assessment activities (which includes field monitoring, aerial monitoring, environnantal smpling, and laboratory analyses) using its resources and the resources of other state agencies and organizations (e.g. Departnant of Agriculture, Water Supply and Pollution Control Comission, flational GuaN ard Civil Air Patrol) . Ocpending on the scope of the accident, however, additional technical assistance may be requested, as noted in Section 1.4.4, under the FRMAP. Assistance is also available to OPHS under the flew England Cmpact on Radiological Health Protection (the Ccrnpact) . DPHS will, when warranted by the scope of the accident, call upon O the Cmpact first, and, second, upon FRMAP. In all instances, control and coor-Q dination of all resources and personnel made available under the Cmpact and/or FR*iAP will rest with OPHS. This is necessary so that actions to carry out acci-dont assessment functions, and to fomulate recomendations for protective action to the Governor, are not split between a nunbar of accident response agencies and personnel frcm a variety of sources. All requested assistance, FRMAP and Compact, will be tachnical assistance to support the DPHS accident assessment effort. The Cmpact has been adopted by the six flew England states through legislative action. In fJes Hirnpshire, passaga occurred during the 10$7 legisla-tive session and the Compact appears as RSA 125-8. The flew England Interstate Radiation Assistance Plan has been developed in accoNance with Article III of the Cmpact and is provided as Appendix M CPHS Procedures, Voltrne 4 of the RERP. Of the three purposes identified in the Campact, the second is most appropriate to the RERP: to provide mutual aid and assistance in radiological health matters, including, but not limited to, radiation incidents. 2 (' Vol. 1 1.4-9 Rev. 2 8/86
The plan outlines the rnanner in which the interstate mJtual aid and , assistance, and exchange of personnel, will be accoTplished. It includes speci-('D
,7 fic information on the channels of carmunication arong the states, the availa-bility of equiprnent, the laboratory capabilities of the states, the procedures for requesting assistance fran the party states, and the notification of party states of radiological incidents. It also provides clarification of the pm ce-dures for the loan of personnel and equipnent, and for the coverage of financial obligations resulting from the provision of assistance.
The DFHS Procedures reflect the appropriate steps required by the th England Interstate Radiation Assistance Plan for activation and use of the resources available from other states. 2 I Oi U o J Vol. 1 1.4-10 Rev. 2 8/86

i e 1.5 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM [) 1.5.1 Purpose-The purpose of this section is to describe the Emergency Classification System which is used in this RERP to initiate emergency response. 1.5.2 Rationale for Classifications Emergencies may be classified into four levels in order of increasing severity: UNUSUAL EVENT, ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY, and GENERAL EMERGENCY. The rationale for the'four s levels is to pro ice," v by declaration of UNUSUAL EVENT or ALERT, l y early and prompt notification of minor incidents at the power
, plant which could 16'ad to more serious consequences in the
~
event of subsequent operator error or equipment failure. Alternately, the' incident may be indicative of more serious conditions which are not yet fully realized. This RERP will use the following Emergency Classifications to specify the H' ~ level of an emergency. ' p 1.5.3 Emergency Classifications
- l. UNUSUAL EVENT An UNUSUAL EVENT is the least severe of the Emergency Classifications. An emergency declaration at this level indicates that an incident which may lead to a potential degradation of the level of safety at the nuclear power plant has taken place. This level indicates that no releases of '
radioactive material' requiring of f site response are expected l unless further degradation of Slant safety systems occurs.
~ \

/
1236/18938/0084C 1.5-1 11/85 v l 1
'"} 2. ALERT An ALERT is the second level. Declaration of an ALERT indicates events in progress which involve an actual or potential, substantial degradation of the level of safety at the nuclear power plant. Any radioactive releases associated with this level of classification are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. No offsite protective actions are required during an ALERT.
- 3. SITE AREA EMERGENCY A SITE AREA EMERGENCY indicates an incident which involves actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. Radiological releases, if any, are not expected to exceed the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary. During a SITE Nm- AREA EMERGENCY, the State's emergency response organization is fully mobilized and protective actions for the public may be implemented.
- 4. GENERAL EMERGENCY A GENERAL EMERGENCY involves actual or imminent substantial degradation or melting of the reactor's radioactive core with potential for loss of containment integrity.
Releases are expected to exceed the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond power plant site boundary area. Of the four Emergency Classifications, a GENERAL EMERGENCY is most severe and the likelihood of implementing protective actions is substantially increased. 1.5.4 Examples of Initiating Conditions O. kI Examples of initiating conditions for each level of emergency have been established by NRC/FCHA and are contained 1236/18938/0084C 1.5-2 11/85 .

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 which may have become radiologically contaminated. O Agricultural Any building or tract of land used to grow Facility crops or raise livestock for production of food including food storage and food i processing operations. I l ALERT An ALERT is tne second lowest level of emergency classification. Declaration of an ALERT indicates events in progress which 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 limited to small ; fractions of the EPA Protective Action . Guideline exposure levels. O l 1236/7193A/0084C 1.6-1 11/85 i

Emergency The level at which an incident at a Classification nuclear power plant has been classified by Level the plant operator. Each level triggers a set of predetermined actions by the offsite Emergency Response Organization. Emergency Operations Locations designated by the State and Centers (EOC) local Emergency Response Organizations as assembly areas for their respective staffs. These facilities are the central command and control points for their respective Emergency Response (_ Organizations. Emergency Operations A center established to coordinate tne Facility (EOF) flow of technical information from the onsite to the offsite Emergency Response j I Organization. It is in the EOF that accident assessment activities are coordinated among State, local, Federal and utility personnel. Emergency Planning An indivioual in each agency in the Coordinator (EPC) Emergency Response Organization responsible for emergency response preparedness. Responsibilities include training, planning, maintaining liaison with NHCDA, and maintaining the procedures and other important documents of the O- agency. 1236/7193A/0084C 1.6-2 11/85
. Emergency Planning The area covered by the Radiological Zones (EPZ) Emergency Response-Plan. The boundary for
. the Ingestion Pathway EPZ is a 50-mile radius from the plant. The boundary of the Plume Exposure EPZ is chosen to accommodate practical planning considerations and to conform 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 combination of State, local, Federal, Organization and private agencies designed specifically to provide offsite capability to implement emergency responses. l Exclusion Area The area established to control access to an evacuated area. An Exclusion Area is s established after an area has been evacuated and its purpose is to control the spread of contamination and provide security. GENERAL EMERGENCY Of the Emergency Classifications, a GENERAL EMERGENCY is most severe. It may involve substantial degradation or melting of the reactor's radioactive core with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases are expected to exceed the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the power plant site boundary area. 1236/7193A/0084C 1.6-3 11/85 i

2.1 NCTIFICATI0t1 N THOOS AND PROCEDURES \ \ 2.1.1 Objective The objectives of this section of the RERP are twofold: the first is to provide for promt notification and mobilization of the New Hanpshire Emergency Response Organization and the second is to provide for timely alerting, notifi-cation, and clear instructions to the population located within the Plune Exposure EPZ. 2.1.2 Emergency Notification of Emergency Response Organizations for VerTnont Yankee and Seabrook Station Initial Notification Upon discovery and subsequent classification of energency conditions at Seabrook Station or Vennont Yankee, the Plant Emergency Dircctor of the affected Utility is to notify the New Hamshire State Police. This notification, which is the Initial Notification to the fH Emergency Response Organization, is to be made within 15 minutes of an energency classification. The criteria which are (n) used to classify energency conditions are referenced in Section 1.5.4 of this RERP. The forTnat and content of the initial message fran the affected Utility to the fM State Police are specified in the Utility notification procedures and the TH State Police ConTnunications Center procedure. fH State Police may receive the Initial Notification fron the power plant on either a secure or a non-secure carmunications systan. If the message is received via the nuclear alert systen (NAS is described in Section 2.2) it will be censidered valid and subsequent notification steps will be undertaken. If Initial Notification is made using any other connunication syston, verification of the authenticity of the message will be required. p V Vol. 1 2.1-1 Rev. 2 9/86
NH State Police will confinn the notification nessage by contacting the f] Plant &nery,ency Director at the control room. Once the message has been con-V firmed, the State Police Ccmnunication Center will notify: l2 o CPHS - which will verify plant status with the Utility, o fMCDA - which will activate the State Emergency Response Organization, and a the local Dispatch Center which will notify the local government Emergency Response Organizations. Figure 2.1-1 is an illustration of this notification procedure. CPHS Verification IcTnediately upon notification by State Police, OPHS will contact the Plant Emergency Director or his designee at the control roon to verify the Ernergency status and obtain as much of the following afditional information as is available:
- 1) location of incident and nane and telephone number (or con-
/ ~\ () munications channel identification) of callers
- 2) date/ time of incidents
- 3) class of energency ard initiating conditions:
- 4) type of actual or projected release (airborne, waterborne, sur-face spill), estimated time to release and estimated duration of release
- 5) estimate of quantity of radioactive material already released, being released or expected to be released and the points and heights of releases:
S) chcrnical and physical forTn of released material, including estimates of the relative quantities and concentration of noble gases, iodines, and particulates3 [ V Vol. 1 2.1-2 Rev. 2 8/86

tNC0A will also notify the State of Maine of an mergency declaration by /] V Seabrook Station because Maine is included in the Ingestion Pathway EPZ for Seabrook Station. This procedure is consistent with arrangments made song the New England States (see Volme 5 for Letters of Agrement) whereby the State l2 in which a nuclear power plant is located notifies those states which are involved in an Ingestion Pathway msponse, but are not within the Plune Exposure EPZ. Notification of Local Governments State Police will initiate notification of the local governments, after confirmation of the Utility's message, by contacting the appropriate local dispatch center:
- 1) for VY, State Police will notify SWFMA:
- 2) for SS, State Police will notify Rockingham County Dispatch Center.
Once notified by State Police, the local dispatch conter will notify each of the b gj local Emergency Response Organizations in their mspective area. The local plans specify the Emergency Classification Level at which each local government will be notified. Many of the local governments have elected to be notified upon the dcalaration of an UffJSUAL EVENT; the remainder chose to be notified at the ALERT level. The levels at which notification to local goverrments will take place are sumnarized in Table 2.1-2. Notification of Federal Organizations tkCCA will notify several Federal agencies as part of their notification fan-out. At an ALERT cr higher classification, NHCDA will notify FEMA Region I. After business hcurs NHOCA will notify the FEMA Emergency Information Coodina-tion Center in Washington, D.C. In addition, when an incident has been declared by Seabrook Station, fECOA will notify the U.S. Coast Guad 031 USUAL EVENT) and the Federal Aviation Mninistration (SITE AREA EMERGENCY) . 2 A Q Vol. 1 2.1-5 Rev. 2 8/86

Change in Emergency Classification Level - (Q) Developnents subsequent to the event which originally triggered the Initial Notification may require the emergency to be reclassified. Any escala-tion or de-escalation of the ememency classification requires prcmpt notifica-tion to the TH State Police Cormunications Center by the Utility. The notification of a change in Emergency Classification Level will be confinned by State Police. Notification of fNCOA, OPHS, and local governnents will proceed as previously described for the Initial Notification. Upon activation of the State EOC, changes in anergency classification will be made by contacting the State EOC. 2 Termination of emergency status, including initiating of recovery opera-tions, will follow the same notification procedures followed for changing Emergency Classification Levels. 2.1.3 Notification of the State Emergency Response ! Oryanization for Yankee j In accordance with arrangements made with the State of Massachusetts, tJHCOA will be notified of an emergency declaration by Yankee (Rowe, Massachusetts) I through the Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency. This procedure will also be i used for any change in the anergency classification and for tennination of the , onergency. 2.1.4 Public Alerting 1 Upon verification that a SITE AREA EMERGENCY level has been declared by the affected Utility, fBCOA may orter the activation of the initial audible alert to the public. (At the ALERT level, consideration will be given to notifying the beach population in Hanpton and Seabrook of precautionary actions by broad-casting pre-recorted messages over sirens in beach areas.) The initial audible alert will be acconplished using sirens and tone alert radios in the appropriate EPZ. The purpose of the audible alert is to advise the public to tune to a ( designated Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) station to receive anergency instructions frcm State officials. 2 - i l I C) j Vol. 1 2.1-7 Rev. 2 8/86 1

Seabrook Station High-powered sirens are the primary means of providing public alerting to the resident and transient population within the Seabrook Station pitme exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The purpose of the audible alerting sound is to advise people within the EPZ to listen to EBS radio stations to receive mergency information and instructional messages fecm State officials. To supplement the public alerting functions provided by the siren syste, tone-alert radio receivers will be distributed to schools, day-care centers, medical facilities, businesses with 50 or more mployees at one location, and other selected facilities. Tone-alert radio receivers equipped with visual alerting lights will also be distributed to hearing-irtpaired residents of the , EPZ. Siren System The siren system comprises a total of 137 individual sirens installed throughout the Seabrook Station EPZ, 94 in Nea Hampshire and 43 in Massachusetts. Table 2.1-3 surrmarizes the number, sound ratings, and locations, by municipality, of the sirens in the EPZ. Siren locations are shown on a map of the EPZ in Figure 2.1-2. Within the New Hampshire portion of the Seabrook Station EPZ, all sirens can be operaterJ either in a siren mode er a public address mode. In their
- normal, siren trade, the sirens can produce several distinct sounds. The Civil l Defense Alert Signal (a loud, high-pitched tone) will be used to provide the alerting signal in the event of an mergency at Seabrook Station
- the other siren sounds available in the siren mode of siren operation can be used by !
l l local and/cr state government agencies for other purposes of their own ' j choosing. In the public address rrode of operation, voice messages can be broadcast over the sirens.
*Through an extensive public information program (see Section 2.3 of the State Plan), the public will be instructed that upon hearing the sirens, they should listen to local radio stations for inforTnation and instructional messages broad-cast over the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) radio network (see Section 2.1.5).

7 The sirens are activated and cnntrollec' sa'.h an encoded signal broadcast ! ) over a dadicated radio channel. For the New Hangshire sirens, the primary siren activation and control point is the Rockingham County Dispatch Center (RCDC). Fran the RCDC, all the sirens can be activated and controlled individually, by town, or all at once. Sirens along the beaches in Seabrook, Hanpton, florth Hmpton, and Ryo can also be controlled as a group. As a backup, each of the 17 cities and towns in the New Hampshire portion of the EPZ can also activate and control the sirens within their boundaries, using encoded-signal radio transmitting equipnent similar to that installed at the RCOC. In the event of the incident at Seabrook Station, procedures have been es-tablished to ensure that the public is provided with the CD Alert si;;nal within 15 mi.10tes of the time that the decision to activate the siren systan is made. The Nea Hypshire Civil Defense Agency (NHCDA) is infonned of the incident at Scabrook, either through the State Police Coranunications Center (SPCC) or upon activation of the State EOC, directly from the station. If the incident escalates to the SITE AREA EMERGENCY level, NHCOA directs the RCOC to activate the sirens. The NHCDA can also direct the local siren activation points to [D x
')
activate the sirens within their boundaries. In the event of a fast-breaking SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY, the SPCC (the State's 24-hour CCyn-munication point) can also direct RCDC to activate the sirens. Ths siren system is capable of providing adequate alerting coverage to 100 percent of the land area within the Seabrook Station EPZ. With the CD "Alert" signal, the siren systcrn will provide tone levels of at least 60 dBC in vir-toally every inhabited area in the EPZ, and at least 70 dBC in nearly all of the more densely populated areas. A coverage level of at least 50 dBC will be pro-vided everywhere in the EPZ. A map of the EPZ, showing siren systcrn coverages, is provided in Figure 2.1-3. The entire siren systcrn is tested regularly. "Silent tests" of the radio control systam are conducted every two weeks. "Groal tests", verifying the control systcr' and audible functions of the sirens, are conducted quarterly. Full-scale aparational tests are conducted annually, either as part of the for-mal exercises or as separate tests. 2 t O i U' Vol. 1 2.1-12 Rev. 2 8/85
The design of the siren systen provides backup protection against cc1 mon-p modo failures within the system. All sirens are equipped with backup battery (j power supplies to ensure operation even during connercial power outages. Backup siren activation is provided for each conmunity at the local EDC in the event of failure of the RCDC transmitting facilities. Furthermore, the extensive testing and maintenance program developed for the siren systen will ensure a very high siren operability rate, thus protecting against randcm individual siren failurus. The conservative acoustical design of thR siren layout also ensures proteC-tion against isolated siren failure. Throughout the EPZ, but particularly within five (5) miles of Seabrook Station, along the entire coastline, and in the more densely populated areas, a high degree of overlapping coverage is provided most areas receive coverage by two (2) or more sirens. Thus, overlapping coverage from other nearby sirens will ensuru adequate alerting coverage in the event of random isolated siren failums. Verification of siren system activation is provided at both the State and local levels. As the primary activation and control point for all New Hampshire A sirens, RCDC is equipped with an electronic siren cysten status board, showing, with colored lights, the location of each siren in the system. The board provi-des verification of the operation of the RCDC siren control transmitting facili-ties and verification that the proper siren activation and control signals were actually broadcast over the siren control radio channel. At the local level, emergercy response officials responsible for local activation of the sirens (typically the local Fire Chiefs) are informed, prior to systan-wide activation, of when the sirens are scheduled to be activated. If at that time the sirens have not sounded, they coordinate local siren activation procedums with NHCDA. Beach Population During the period of heaviest beach use, from May 15 through Septarber 15, precautionary actions for the beach population will be considered at early Emery,ency Classification Levels in order to expedite possible later protective actions. Under certain meteortlogical conditions, 'HCDA, the Department of Resources and Econcinic Development (DRED), and the Department of Public Health Services (DPHS) may decide to order closing of public beach facilities in O Seabrtok and Harmton as carly as the ALERT level. 2 V Vol. 1 2.1-13 Rev. 2 8/85
_ _ ~ __ . _ ._ _ . .. .. ~ . . _ .. __ _ . _ i If this early precautionary action-is taken, the sirens covering the beach l , areas will be used to alert and notify the beach population of the beach l closing. tNC0A will direct RCDC to activate its special beach closing proca-
- dures. RCOC will first activate the CD Alert Signal on the beach sirens. '
Then, a pre-recorded voice message, in English and Canadian French, will bo i 1 broadcast over the sirens, using their public address mode of operation. l The voice message will infonn the beach population that the beaches have boon f , closed and will instruct them to leave the beach area. The text of the beach ! message is contained in the fECOA emergency response procedures (Volume 4, f' Appendix G). The Procedures for Seabrook and Hamton Fire Chiefs also contain the beach message text, in case local backup of the beach siren activation is required. Staff at CRED beach facilities will be available to provide backup ; assistance, if necessary, for beach population notification. Tone-Alert Radio Receivers
\
Approximately 300 tone-alert radio receivers will be distributed to insti-tutions and special-needs facilities within the EPZ. These institutions include ] l schools, day-care centers, medical facilities, nursing homes, and businesses j l with 50 or core trnployees at one location. In addition, tone-alert radio { j receivers with visual alerting lights will be distributed to heering-inpaired l i residents in the EPZ. f The tone-alert radio receivers will be activated by a special signal broad-
! cast over the Emergency Broadcast Systern (EBS) radio network. Upon activation, the tone-alert radio receivers produce an audible alert tone, followed by infor- l mation and instructional messages carried by the EBS network. I i
As the tone-alert radio receivers are distributed, each recipient will be ] providEsd with written instructions for the operation and testing of the units. . A register, containing the facility nano, address, and responsible individual, : j and tone-alert radio receiver serial number, will also be developed at that l time. The register will be used to keep track of the receivers and for periodic ' 4 1 maintenance and operability surveys. In conjunction with New Hampshire and s . j local Civil Defense officials, newly identified special-noods facilities and ! individuals will be provided with tone-alert radio receivers, and the register 2 l i Vol. 1 2.1-14 Rev. 2 8/85 I ! l i f s
will tu kept up-to-date. A copy of the complete register will be kept on file O with NHCDA. A list of the recipients of tone-alert radio receivers in each municipality will be filed wi-h the respective local Civil Defense Directors. The tone-alert radio receivers will be automatically tested once each day. Each receiver is equipped with self-testing circuitry that is triggered by a special signal bmadcast over the EBS network. If this self-testing circuitry fails to detect the special test signal within the past 24 hours, or detects a nelfunction in the unit, an anter malfunction laTp on the front of the unit lights up. The user instructions distributed with the receivers contain speci-fic directions on how to verify the operation of the unit if the malfunction lanp canes on. If the unit is found to be defective, the user is directed to replace the unit. A toll-free telephone nuc6er has been established for calls regading replacement or quations regaNing the operation of the tone-alert radio receivem . Systcrn Design Report A complete description of the simns and tone-alert radio receivers f- ccrnprising the alert and notification system for Seabrook Station is provided in the Seabrook Station Public Alert and fjotification System Design Report. The "System Design Report" addresses the systan design criteria outlined in Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants (FEMA-REP-10/Noventer,1985), and includes discussions on the system's activation, control, and coodination pmcedures, systan components, siren sound level coverage areas, and testing and maintenance procedures. Other Alerting Means Although the siren system provides coverage to 100 percent of the land area within the Seabrook Station EPZ, alternate means of alerting will be provided to boaters in offshore watem within 10 miles of the plant. The U. S. Coast Guad will be primarily responsible for aAerting offshore boaters beyond the areas ! covemd by the sirens . Personnel and equipnent resources from the New Hampshire Department of Safety Semices, Division of Boating Safety will be available to , supplanent alerting and notification activities near shore and in the harbors. 2 i i Vol. 1 2.1-15 Rev. 2 8/86 I 1 l
The New Hampshire Department of Resource 6nd Econornic Developrnent (DRED) is ,o prepared to assist in the alerting of people using state recreational facilities () operated by ORED. In addition, parsonnel from the New Hanpshire Department of Fish and Game will be available to assist in alerting people in other renote recreation areas. 2 Vermont Yankee EPZ A systan of sirens and tone alert NOAA weather radios activated on a fre-quency of 162.425 Hz will be used for the New Hampshire portion of the VY Plune Exposure EPZ. This system is described in detail in the VY Emergency Plan, Appendix G. The VY sirens (as well as the local fire sirens) are activated by SWFMA under the direction of fHCOA. fHCDA activates the NOAA tone-elert weather radios by a call to National Weather Service (NWS) +hrough the State of Vermont Civil Defense Agency. 2 The VY sirens and tone alert radios are supplernented by local fire sirens, nobile loudhailena, and vehicular sirens operated by local govertrnent, Police and Fire Departments. Local officials also maintain a list of all handicapped individuals that may need essistance during an anergency. Any such individuals I that could not otherwise be notified will be contacted on a door-to-door basis by local anergency workers. (Local plans are incorporated by reference as subseqmnt voltrnes of this RERP.) 2 For the W EPZ, individuals located in Pisgah Wilderness State Park and Wantasiquet Mountain State Forest will be alerted by Department of Resource and Econanic Develognent (DRED) Park or Forest Department anployees. The Department of Fish and Game will notify individuals in outddoor recreation areas not under < the inTnediate jurisdiction of ORED (for exanple, boaters on the Connecticut River). Persons at special facilities, such as surrmer canps and public buildings, will be alerted by local officials. Public and private school principals will be alerted by tone alert radios placed in the school. School principals will, in turn, notify the renninder of the school population. O b Vol. 1 2.1-16 Rev. 2 8/86
2.1.5 Public Dissemination of Infomation and Instructions After initial public alerting has been accmplished through the sounding of t
- the CD Alert Signal over the siren system, all official infomation and
! instructional messages will be broadcast to the public over the Emergency Broad- ; cast Syste (EBS) . The public's high reliance on radio and television for news j
.infomation nukes EBS a good mediurn for keeping the public infomed during an l emergency. 2 lj Vermont Yankee For the VY EPZ, the EBS will be used in accordance with the fM Emergency i Bromicast System Manual (on file in fHCDA offices) . The Cminon Prograrn Control Station 1 (CPCS 1) WKfE 1290 AM, will be activated by station personnel after l 1 receiving and verifying instructions from the fNCDA ConTnunications Officer via j cmmercial telephone. NHCOA used fairly simple selection criteria to pick the fN stations included in the network to be used to broadcast mergency infor-mation. All PN EBS stations serving the area were included none were excluded.
The four stations provide ample coverage of the fN portion of the EPZ with the , exception of the portion of the EPZ tucked into the valley of the Connecticut l l River, about fif teen miles frcrn Keene. Reception of the Keene radio station in this area is weaker due to the local terrain. This area is just across the l< - river from Brattleboro. Residents of the valley are generally patrons of the ] i Brattleboro stations included in the Ventant mergency infomation systm. As a j result, these residents may either be infomed by VT stations to tune to a Keene i 1 station for instructions specific to fN residents, or they may be given t appropriate instructions and infonnation provided to the VT stations by fMCOA via VTCOA. 4 Vemont Yankee 1 ( ) WKPEi > 2 Keene,fN 1290 AM (CPCSi) WNBX Keene,fN 103.7 FM (Primary) $ WKBK Keene,fN 1220 AM (Primary) ., WH Keene, fN 89.1 FM (Primary) I WTSA1 ,2 Brattleboro, VT 96.7 FM ) WTSAi ,2 Brattleboro, VT 1450 AM ) VT Stations !3 lO i : i Vol. 1 2.1-17 Pev. 2 8/85 l l i }
WKVT1 Brattleboro, VT 1490 AM ) WKVT1 Brattleboro, VT 92.7 FM ) / T z b) i Emergency Power 2 24-Hour Coverage Seabrook Station In order to provide an effective, operational and reliable means to issue anergency instructions to the public and to provide for supplanental alerting of "special populations", a new configuration and actuation mechanism for the existing Emergency Broadcast Systan (EBS) was designed. This system is for use in the Seacoast Operational Area EBS fletwork as defined in the fJew Harrpshirs EBS plan. In this new configuration WCKQ-FM, with transmitter and studios located in Dover, operating with an effective radiated power of 50,000 watts, 24 hours a day, year round serves the equivalent role of a CPCS-1 station. bOKQ has been equipped with the Blaupunkt Public InfotTnation and fJotification System (PIfJS). Rather than formirg a new systcrn separate fran tra-1 \ ditional EBS, this system integrates existing EBS broadcast resources in an operational configuration. i A secure activation conTnand generated by the PIf4S equi;rnent at WOKQ is contained as a "passenger" on WOKQ's radio frequency (RF) carrier. This activation cattnand is inaudible to the general public that may be listening to WOKO. This corrmand is used to activate "satellite receivers" tuned to WOKO installed at the broadcast stations identified below as "Satellite Stations". Once activated, anergency information is broadcast as audible infor- j mation on WOKQ's carrier. Each satellite station's receiver recovers the audio l (amrgency instnactions) fran WOKQ's RF carrier and feeds it into the broadcast station's transmitter and out to the public. Only the activation cormands are inaudible to the public. All anergency information messages contained on WDKQ's RF carrier are audible to the l public listening to WOKO or any of the satellite stations at the time the message is bruadcast, v 2 Vol. 1 2.1-18 Rev. 2 8/86 1 l
)
All radio broadcast stations that are part of the Seacoast g Operational Area EBS region are included in the network as satellite stations h for the broadcase of anergency information to the public. This provides redun-dant coverage since WOKO alone covers the entire tN portion of the EPZ. WOKQ's coverage contour extends well beyond the entire EPZ in New Hamshire as well as into both Massachusetts and Maine. The PINS equipment located at WOKQ is configured in a hot standby arrangement with ccmplete redundancy provided. Additionally, WOKQ is equipped with a backup transmitter which in the event of an actual energency may be run at full power into a dtmny load allowing an almost instantaneous transfer to the backup transmitter in the event the primary should fail during an actual anergency. WOKO is being equipped with an anergency power generator which will allow a backup source of power for the studios, transmitters and other facili-ties located at the WOKO building complex. The primary activation method for the PINS equignent located at WOKQ is via a dual set of dedicated, secure telephone and data circuits (these cir-cuits are not a part of the Public Switched Telephone Network). This special g network gives any one of three locations the ability to activate the PINS system V from the specially supplied PINS activation equipment. The locations with acti-vation mechanisms for PINS are:
- 1. New Hamshire State Police Coninunications Center in Concord, NH.
- 2. New Hanpshire Civil Defense Agency EOC in Concord, PH.
- 3. The Governor's office in Concord, NH.
The PINS systan can also be manually activated at WOKO. In addiiion to live and tape recorted informational message capabilities, the system also has a hard disk storage capability for anergency messages. These messages are pre-developed, digitized and stored on the hard disk. The PINS activation eq.ignent located at the (3) control points can direct the system to access the hard disk, retrieve the pre-developed message and broadcast it. A traditional dual frequency EBS tone also contained on the hard disk will p precede all energency information. V 2 Vol. 1 2.1-19 Rev. 2 8/86
This capability will cllow the EBS systern to be pronptly cctivated in the event of a fast breaking event that requires instructional inferination to be p bro M cast to the public. The activation mechanism for PINS located at NH State C# Police Conmunications Center in Concord can perform this function rapidly on a 24-hour a day basis. In addition to the above methods of activation, the PINS manual acti-vation mechanism at WCKQ is interfaced with a traditional EBS receiver-decoder rronitoring WHJM. Upon receipt of the proper signal frcrn LHG1, the EBS receiver-decoder will activate the PINS system. This allows the Seacoast Operational Area to be integrated with EBS network and activated by LHOM in the event of a statewide or national anergency.

2.2 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS A
> 2.2.1 Objective The ob,jective of this function is to provide the necessary emergency ccmrunications equipment to allow prorrpt and reliable conmanications arong key personnel involved in the smrgency response.
2.2.2 Emergency Conmunications Equiprmnt A variety of conmunications equipmnt will be utilized by the Emergency Response Organization during an omrgency. The different ccnm rications systenu are listed below along with a brief description.
- 1. Nuclear Alert Systcm (NAS) The Utilities have established a microwave telephone network for use during an cmergency. This network links the State Police Cormunications Centers, the Civil Defense Agencies, the near-site facilities, the Utility's control room, and the EOFs in the affected 3 states. The system uses micrwave channels (both owned and shared) linking Wascom SS-4 equipmnt. This is a self pwered, secure ccmrunications link l2 and is considered by NHCDA to be the primary notification equiprent. The systern is also available for interstate administrative exchange of information. This NAS telephone equip ent, located in the above-mentioned facilitics, c1carly idenifies the telephones connected by this micrwave system.
- 2. Civil Defense Radio Network - The NHCOA maintains a radio network which links each local EOC (or all local EOCs sirrultaneously) to the State EOC and each IFO/ EOF. In addition, the systcm allNs local EOCs to cornrunicate with each other. This non-secure network utilizes a system of repeaters I
l l i I I ( L , 1 Vol. 1 2.2-1 Rev. 2 8/86 I l
which are located near each EPZ. Each repeater has a back up electrical (9 source and is controlled by dedicated micrwave channels. Net control for i
"/ this system is provided from tne State EOC.
- 3. National Warning System (NAWAS) - The National Warning System, or NAWAS, is a dedicated nationwide early warning systern established in the 1950's by the U.S. Departtrent of Defense. It is used to broadcast infonietion to each of the 50 states, U.S. territeries and possessions, and selected military bases. NAWAS which uses land lines as well as microwave channels, is network secure and has back up electrical power. It enters New Hanpshire through the State Police Ccmnunications Center and the NHC0A offices. In New Hanpshire, a scaled-down network, wtiich is separate from the national circuit, connects with 18 rrunicipalities as well as with SWFMA and the Rockingharn County Dispatch Center.
4 State Pol. ice Radio Network - The NH State Police radio network uses two les enforcermnt frequency spectruns and rreny remotely controlled rroun- ~ tain top transmitters to rreintain a cormunications link with neny State agencies, the Governor, and State Police organizations of other states. Because of its "public appeal", however, this is a non-secure conTrunications link. A low-band spectrum is reserved for use by State Police Troopers. A high-band spectrum is used to carmunicate with NH rrunicipalities and with other State agencies. 1 l
- 5. St_ ate Police Portable Radio - These radios, most of which are not l owned by State Police, are used by local Police Departments and selected State agencies. Approxirretely 2500 high-band portable radios exist in New Hanpshire.
Portable radios owned by local Police organizations usually contain one or two State Police high-band frequencics along with channels used by the local dispatch center. Lcw-band portable radios are reserved for use by the State Police. 1 bV Vol. 1 2.2-2 Rev. 2 8/86
, t i
- 6. State Police Mobile Radio - These are vehicular-mounted versions i of the above. Low-band is reserved for State Police vehicles. f
. t 7 State Police Radio Pagers - These units use a State Police i j frequancy and are capable of sirrultaneously responding to a selective tone or to a series of tones unique to each pager.

2.2.6 Ccmnonications With Other States Emegency response functions at VY and at Yankee require substantial coor-O v dination of the Emergency Response Organizations in New Hanpshire, Vermont and Massachusetts. Emergency response functions at SS require coordination between Ncw Harpshire and Massechusetts. New Harpshire nust also coordinate Ingestion Pathway EPZ response functions at SS with the State of Maine. In addition there are mutual aid provisions arong all the New England States which require coor-dination and ccmnunication. The primary link to be used for ccmnunications anong the Civil Defense agencies in New Harpshire, VerTnont and Massachusetts is the Nuclear Alert Systan (NAS). The system aCCcmnodates direct ccmnunication among the three State EDC
- locations. The NHCDA also nuintains low-band FM radio equignent on the l
Massachusetts and Verrnant Civil Defense frequencies as a back-up. These ccrn-munications links are staffed by the Ccmrunications Officer in each state. The State of Maine will be notified of crnergency conditions at SS, by l NHCDA, using telechone as the primary ccmrunications systtrn with NAWAS as a backup system. Support fecrn Connecticut or Rhode Island can also be requested using telephone cr NAWAS. O 2.2.7 Ccmnunications with Federal Goverrynent l 0 The primary ccnnunications link with Feceral agencies will be through FEMA. The National Warning Systan also connects the State EDC to the Region I offices of FEMA located in Boston, MA. After hours ccmnunications with FEMA will be i through the Emergency Infermation Coordination Center in Washington, D.C. 2 l Direct comunications between DPHS and DDE or EPA will be frcrn the State EDC using ccrmnercial telephone or FTS. 2.2.8 Fixed and Mobile Medical Ccmnunications NH EMS supports a ecmnunications system to facilitate ccmrunications l l between the Regional Coordination Centers (RCC) at S4MA and Rockinghan County l l Dispatch and art:ulances from outside the respective EPZs. Embulances can ccm-municate using one of the existing channels. All Rockinghan anbulances that may be callcd to the Venrent Yankee EPZ can cartronicate with SWFMA on police 2 A i I Vol. 1 2.2-13 Rev. 2 8/65
Radio Systarn (HEAR) channol. Alternatively, Cheshiro County arbulances nomally operato on 145.22 ntu. A unifom, state-wide, four-channel r3nergency medical p conTnunication systcm has boon installed in both the VY and SS EPZs. L 1 L/ All fixed a,d robile EMS radios have a ccrmon radio fecouoney (155.175 mhc). Each medical RCC is equipped with a four-channel base station which 2 includes this co-inon frequency, two hospital to crbulance frequencias, and a hospital to hospital frequency. In the VY EP2, SWFMA is designated as the RCC and will dispatch _all ambulances including thoso from outside the area. For the SS EPZ the RCC will be Rockinghan County Dispatch Center. (t will coordinato the aispatch of all amergency medical nobile units fran inside and outsido the are a. The four-channel medical radio systcrn also provides for carTmnications bat-ween fixed hospital facilitics and betwoon hospitals and robile units. Ono l Channel is HEAR (155.340), which allows mbulance-to-hospital ccrTnunicationc l2 1 and is used by energency rocms to prepara for incaning patients. A second channel (155.385) also provides for mbulance-to-hospital ccrinunications. A third channel provides hospital-to-hospital ccrinunications, and a fourth channel is the ccrTtn crbulance channel discussed above. All rubile medical and hospital facilities operating in flow Hanpshiro are ir-luded in this a arnergency medical ccrTnunications systen. 2.2.9 Testing of C3inunications Systcru All of the amergency ccrinunications equignent discussed in this section is used by various agencies on a day-to-day basis. For this roason, many of the j systcrs are in constant use or are tested frequently. No systcm is tested less ) frequently than once per month. In addition, the entire ancrgency cm-munications systm is tested for use in a radiological omergency responso during scheduled excrcises. Sufficient equi; ment exists to cover for equignent rcreved fcr service cr repair. In fact, while this section only discusses the primary l and secondary equiprnent, many of the corTnunications links have rmitiple back-up s yst tre . 4 Vol. 1 2.2-14 Rev. 2 8/85

NHC0A will prepare a letter for distribution to each transient facility within the EPZs. Included in this letter will.be the abbreviated self adhesiv 2 labels. In the SS EPZ, flyers, posters and self-adhecive labels will be pro-vided. Telephone books will be readily available in most of these facilities. Posters will be placed in State parks and distributed to local goverrments for use in public facilities. In addition, any other facilities requiring the use of the posters will be provided with than by NHCDA. The content of the errergency public information itenu discussed in Section 2.3.4 will be reviewed and distributed to the public annually. These materials will be upgraded as needed. Table 2.3-1 sunmarizes the means by which information will be made available to specific segments of the population within each EPZ. 2.3.6 News Media The purpose of the Media Center, which is operated by the Utility, is q to pmvide a central location for media contact. Utility, State and Federal
'd spckespersons will be stationed in the Media Center which is located at Dalem's Chalet for VY and at the Newington Town Hall in Newington for SS. This is the only facility from which detailed information about the emergency and the stergency response will be distributed, where news releases will be prepared and distributed, and where official spokespersons will interact with the rredia.
The Utility Conpany will operate the media center providing for timely exchange of inforTretion among the designated spokespersons for the poaer plant and Federal and State Agencies involved in emergency response. News releases proposed by one of the designated spokespersons will be reviewed with his counterparts before release to the media personnel. This will ensure that the New Hartpshire representatives and other public inforTnation officials are prepared to minimize disagreements on proposed releases and to concur or disagree prortptly with staterrents trade by other spokespersons at the rredia center. The media center is the only location which will provide this level 4 of support for the news tredia during the errergency response. O Vol. 1 2.3-6 Rev. 2 8/86

Designated Spokespersons The State's Public Information Officer, from the Governor's office, and the fHCDA Media Representative will be present in the tiedia Center. They will act 2 m official spokespersons for NH. The Media Center is the designated location for media inquiries, but because the emergency response is being managed from the State EOC, and because the Governor will be located in the State EOC, it is realized that media interest will also focus on this location. While NHCDA has trade plans for this activity, representatives of the tredia will find a low lovel of media support in the State EOC. New Hanpshire will not distribute news releases or make official statements from the State EOC. None of the other State or local facilities will be prepared to support rredia activities and media representatives will be requested to go to the media center. Rumor Control A special telephone line for rumor control has been established by the Utility for use by New Hartpshire residents of the VY EPZ. The utility has established two toll free 800 call-in numbers for SS rumor control, one for Nes Harrpshire residents, the other for out of state residents. These nurrbers , are listed in Volume 2, Appendix K, Telephone Directcry. Another telephone nutter is listed for site specific information. The plant status messages , on these systerre are updated throughout the emergency period. The messages will contain correct information about conditions at the plant site. NHCOA also has a toll-free "800" phone narrber for the public to call during an energency. fHCOA staff will be available to respond to public inquiries regarding offsite protective actions reconmendations and offsite activities. Actions will include correcting the misinformation at its source, if the source can be identified. If necessary a special news release er briefing may be scheduled. In addition, a rtmcr control staff (located at the State EOC in Concord) will be available to provide accurate information to callers about New Harpshire protective action decisions and emergency operations, to determine false rumors that rrey be circulating in the ccmrunity and to prevent, to the degree possible, the pruliferation of false rumors (Reference Procedure 17, Rumcr Control Staff). 2 vol. 1 2.3-8 Rev. 2 8/86 l
As a supplement to rumor control, NHCDA will use the EBS to convey accurate information and instructions about the off-site energency response to the O public. This effort is directed t ward insuring that residents respond in accordance with official protective action recormendations and not ~ rumors. Media Orientation The media is inforrned of the above procedures by infornetional material and programs nunaged by the utility (Ref. VY Em. Plan and SS Em Plan Section 11.3). In addition, once per year, in advance of exercises, a NHCOA representative will conduct a press briefing. The purpose of this briefing is to inform nudia representatives about the RERP, Emergency Responsa Organizations, basic infor-nation concerning radiation, concepts of operations, and hw distribution of nec information will be handled during an emergency.

(V' 2.4 EMERCENCY FACILITIES ANO EQUIPMENT 2.4.1 Objective The objective of this section is to provide descriptions of the energency facilities and associated equipment to support the Emergency Response. 2.4.2 Purpose of Emergency Facilities There are four sets of facilities used to support an energency response Utility operated, State operated, locally operated and Federally operated. Seven facilities, the State Emergency Operations Center, the Incident Field Office (s), , the State Police Conmunication Center, the Reception Center (s), the Occontanination Center (s), Staging Areas and OPHS Laboratories are operated by the State of New Hampshire. Occontanination activities in the Decontanination Centers are supervised by OPHS personnel. Three facilities, the Emergency Oper-ations Facility, the Media Center, and the Control Roon, are Utility-operated. Each local municipality operated a local Emergency Operations Center. In addi-O V tion, the municipalities are served by a local dispatch center located near their resepective EPZ. If the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan is fully activated, two facilities will be established, the Federal Response Center and the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center. In addition, a Joint Infonmation Center will be established as part of the Utility / State Media Center. These amergency response facilities are described below. The locations 2 of these faci-lities are provided in Tables 2.4-1, 2.4-2, and 2.4-3. State-Operated Facilities
- a. State Emergency Operations Center (State EOC)
This facility is the central cor:Tnand center for the offsite trnergency response by the State and affected municipalities in the event of a radiological I omergency resulting fran an incider.t at any of the nuclear power plants affecting New Hampshire. Upon declaration of an anergency at a nuclear power plant, representatives of FEMA will be dispatched to the State EOC. The State EOC is located in the NHCDA office at State Office Park South, 107 Pleasant n Street, Concord, NH. NHCOA is responsible for the operation of this facility. V) ( Vol. 1 2.4-1 Rev. 2 8/85

- b. Incident Field Office (IFO)
U The IFO is the State facility located closest to the Plume Exposure EPZ and is the facility from which the NH Civil Defense Agency will cormunicate with State emergency workers and local Emergency Response Organizations. The Seabrook Station IFO corrpiles, coordinates, and transmits protective action reconinendations to the State EOC in Concord for concurrence. The SS IFO is co-located with the EOF at Newington Station in Newington, New Harrpshire. In the VY IF0, activities are divided into two corrponents. The first corrponent involves a State team which will be located in the utility's EOF. They will be coordinating with utility personnel and developing protective action reconinendations. Protective action reconmendations will be transmitted to the State EOC for con-currence. Implementation is the second corrponent of IFO activities. Once the appropriate protective action recorrmendations have been detennined, the IFO Controller in the Keene Fire Station, Keene, NH will be contacted to initiate implementation. For both SS and VY field monitoring tearro are coordinated and dispatched from the IFO. '
- c. State Police ConTronication Center The State Police Coninunication Center is the central conTrunication and inforTretion point for the New Hanpshire State Police. This facility has two radio dispatch consoles. One console uses a low-band frequency and is reserved for State Police dispatch. The other uses a high-band frequency to conTnunicate with other State agencies and local Police Dispatchers including SWFMA and Rockinghorn County. Emergency and routine cmTrunications services are provided by several dispatchers on a 24-hour basis. Cormunication links to the utilities, NHCOA, DPHS, local dispatch centers, State Police Troops A and C, the Governor, and other State agencies, as well as State Police organizations of other states, are provided by this cortmunication center. ,
O Vol. 1 2.4-2 Rev. 2 8/86 ,
.d.. Reception Centers Reception Centers are operated to accmmodate the energency service needs of evacuees . leaving the EPZ.in the event.an evacuation is reconnended.. There are,three Reception Centers for the VY EPZ, one in Keene, New Harnpshire, one in Greenfield,' Massachusetts and one in Westminster, Vennant. For the SS EPZ, there are four Reception Centers in New Hartpshire alone. There is one each in Dover, Manchester, Salem, and Rochester. One or more of these can be activated as necessary. In a Reception Center, evacuees are registered and provided tanporary ser- 2 vices. 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 established by the Red Cross .
The New Hampshire Division of Human Services will provide personnel to manage thn State Reception Centers that nust be opened. The Anerican Red Cross will send a representative to each Reception Center that is opened to act as a liaison between the Reception Center and the Mass Care Centers operated by ARC. 2 At each Reception Center the Division of Human Services will see that the Reception Center functions are undertaken by the available mergency workers. These functions are described in Volurne 4A, Appendix B of the Division of Human Services Procedures.
- e. Decontanination Centers Decontamination Centers are located near each Reception Center.
Removing radioactive material from individuals and/or equignent that may 2 have been contaninated will occur in these facilities. Most decon-tanination involves relatively sicple washing procedures. If special equignent is required, individuals will be transferred to facilities equipped to treat radiologically exposed individuals (see Section 2.8 of this voltme of the RERP for a list of facilities). Vol. 1 2.4-3 Rev. 2 8/86

- f. OPHS Laboratories This facility contains the laboratory equipment for the radiological analyses necessary to support the field monitoring activities. In'this facility, radiological and chemical analyses can be.perfonned on par-ticul' ate filters, animal feed, liquid milk or food samples, and water sanples . The laboratory's equipment and its capabilities are listed'in Section 2.5 of this volume of the RERP.
- g. Staging Areas The State Transportation Staging Areas serve as the first reporting- 5 and gathering place for state cooNinated transportation resources f supporting evacuation of EPZ residents, students and visitors.
There are two (2) State Transportation Staging Areas, located at } the Rockinghan County Ccrnplex in Brentwood, NH, and at the Outlet Mall of New England (OMNE) in Portsmouth, NH. These facilities serve as the first reporting and gathering place for buses, ambulances-(Brentwood only) and personnel which will be used to support evacuation of towns of the i Seabrook Station Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). 2 Utility-Operated Facilities
- a. Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)
The primary exchange of infonnation between the onsite and offsite Emergency Response Organizations occurs.in the EOF. In an anergency at. a nucleer power plant affecting fH, Representatives of the NRC and DOE-
- will be located in the EOF. Infonnation concerning the reactor status, 3
Utility dose projections, and monitoring data is transferred to OPHS , and fNCOA personnel located in the EOF by the Utility in accodance with , the Utility's energency plan. 2 ' l [ Vol. 1 2.4-4 Rev. 2 8/85 l l

- b. Control Room 7
f f 'd' The Power Plant Control Room is not an integral part of the Offsite Emergency Response Facilities. It is, however, linked to the offsite facilities in two inportant ways. First, it is fran the Control Rocrn that notification of the Emergency Classification Levels is initiated and verified (see Section 2.2.3) until the EOF is activated. Second, it is from the Control Roon that technical data about the incident is provided to Utility and State repre-sentatives in the EOF. 2
- c. Media Center The Media Center is the central coordination point fron which infonnation about the incident and the emergency response will be released to represen-tatives of the news media. In the Media Center public inforTation officials of the Utility, as well as State and Federal officials will coordinate their acti-viti es . Rumor Control by the utility is also conducted, in part, from the fledia Center. The f.'HCOA Media Representative located in the Media Center has a direct
/) dedicated ccrinunications link with the State EOC. The Media Center will func- %~)
tion as the Joint Infonnation Center (JIC) in the implanentation of the FRERP. I Local Government-Operated Facilities
- a. Local Emergency Doeration Center (Local enc)
I Each municipality included in the Emergency Response Organization operates l l' its own EOC. The function of the local EOC is connand and control of the local municipality's energency response. The local EOC is in direct corTnunication with the State Emergency Response Organization. l l 1 l q LJ Vol . 1 2 4-5 Rev. 2 8/85 l
- b. Local Dispatch Centers
(') The local dispatch centers are operated by SWFMA, for the VY EPZ, and by Rockingham County Sheriff's Department for the SS EPZ. These facilities provide police, fire, and anergency medical dispatching for the local municipalities in their respective service areas (which are larger than the respective EPZ areas) . Emergency connunications to the local governments, and coordination of anergency services within the EPZs, are provided by these dispatch centers. Federally - Operated Facilities Upon the deploynent of Federal response personnel in response to an emergency at a nuclear power plant in New HaTpshire, two facilities may be established. The decision to establish these facilities rests with FEMA and the 00E,
- a. Federal Response Center (FRC)
[ This facility is a center established by FEMA at a location identified in \] 0 conjunction with the State of New Hampshire that serves as a focal point for Federal response team interaction with the State.
- b. Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC)
This facility is a center from which the 00E Offsite Technical Director coordinates Federal radiological monitoring and assessment efforts. , 2 l The relationship between the Emergency Response Facilities, described , above, is shown in Figure 2.4-1. This figure shows the relationships among ! l these facilities during an anergency response. The State Police Comunication l Center and the local dispatch centers are not shown in this figure because they are used solely for the purposes of anergency corTnunications. For a description of the cannunications anong these facilities, see Section 2.2 of this RERP. O \m/ Vol. 1 2.4-5 Rev. 2 8/8G l I I J

2.4.3 Staffing Assigrments for Emergency Response fm Facilities Each State agency in the Emergency Response Organization is responsible for deploying personnel to one or more of the Emergency Response Facilities. Tables 2.4-4, 2.4-5, and 2.4-5 contain the staffing assignments of each agency for each Emergency Classification Level and for each Emergency Response Facility. The Control Rocm is not shown because no offsite agency staff are assigned to it. The State Police Conmunications Center or the local dispatch centers arc also not shown because they are operational on a 24-hour basis. OPHS laboratories are staffed when DPHS staffs the IF0/ EOF for field monitoring. Rockingham County Sheriff's Department personnel are placed on standby to prepare State Transportation Staging Areas in the Seabrook Station EPZ at the ALERT level. The staging areas are activated at the SITE AREA EMERGENCY. In addition to the agencies in State Emergency Responsa Organization, FEMA and the NRC, will send a representative to the State EOC and IF0/ EOF at the SITE AREA EMERGENCY level. The U.S. Coast Guard (for SS only) sends a representative to the IF0/ EOF. Local governments will staff their EOCs and deploy personnel at or before the SITE AREA EMERGENCY level. 2.4.4 Equignent and Supplies for the Emergency Response Facilities Each Emergency Response Facility has been equipped with materials necessary for its effective operation. These include status boards and large detailed maps of each EPZ. 2 The floor plan for the State EOC is shown in Figure 2.4-2.

2.4.5 Equipment Readiness ,7 3 Equiprent to be used in inplementing an emergency response (see Section (_,) 2.7 and Volume 2, Appendix C) will be inspected at least once every calendar quarter and af ter each use. In addition, these inspections will follos established calibration and meintenance schedules. There are sufficient reserves of instruments / equipment to replace those instruments which are raroved fran anergency kits (Section 2.7) for calibration or repair.

2.5 ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT 2.5.1 Objective 7 The objective of this function is to assess the offsite consequences of an (O) erergency at any of the three nuclear poser stations which rrey affect New Harpshire. 2.5.2 Accident Assessment Tasks Accident assessment consists of four tasks. A brief description of each task follows: Estirrating Current and Projected Doses for the Plume Exposure Pathway These dose projections, based on actual or projected plant conditions, fann the basis for the protective action recorrinendations for the Plume Exposure EPZ (see Section 2.6) . The levels of offsite radiation must be projected as quickly as possible and reported in tenre of whole body and thyroid doses (in rerrs). Whole body dose depends on the total level of external ganma exposure, while thyroid depends on the amount of radiciodines, particularly Iodine-131, that are mleased. Different emergency conditions rrey release different arounts of radioactivity and different types of radioactive isotopes. These doses are j expected to be of concern only for the area which is well within the 10-mile a radius of a plant. In the event of a fast moving incident, when levels of offsite radiation cannot be projected or measured as quickly es necessary to serve as the basis for protective action reconmendations, the reccrrrnendations will be based on plant status and prognoses. Radiological assessment data may not be available or useful when con-I sidering early precautionary action decisions. Prognosis of deteriorating plant conditions rrey carpel irrplementation of precautionary actions, without consideration of PAG ranges, when, for exartple, seasonal beach populations are , l potentially affected. Pertinent plant systan considerations are indicated in i AttacFment A to Appendix U, DPHS Procedures for Seabcock Stetion, Volume 4. Precautionary actions will be considered when plant conditions, as determined by ) plant personnel, indicate that a major plant systan, as indicated in Attachrmnt A to Appendix U, is unstable er degrading. 2
)
(V Vol. 1 2.5-1 Rev. 2 8/86
Plant status data will be provided by control room personnel to the () Manager, Radiological Health Progran. This infc rnation will be carmunicated when the Manager, Radiological Health Program calls the control rocrn subsequent to initial notification of the declaration of an anergency (see Manager, Radiological Health Program procedure, OPHS Procedures for Seabrook Station, Voltrne 4A) . Plant status data will be available to DPHS accident assessment personnel fran the utility's technical personnel in the EDF. 2 Estimating Current and Projected Doses for the Ingestion Pathway These dose projections forrn the basis for protective action recorrtrendations for the Ingestion Pathway (see Section 2.6). Different emergencies rray release different anounts of radioactivity and different types of radioactive isotopes. The levels of individuel radioactive isotopes depnsited by the Plume trust be detennined. Each elenent enters the body through different food or water path-ways. Therefore, the dose, in rats, is determined for each food type (milk, vegetables , meats , etc. ) . All dose projections will take into account ctrrulative dose ccncentrations (see CPHS Procedures, Appendix T Volume 4). / ( )\ Deterrnining the Area Impacted by the Plume Once radioa"tive material has been released, meteorological conditicrs will oeterinine its dispersion pattern. Ths direction of pltrne travel and the height and width of the pltine rrost be determined in crder to identify the locations that will be affected. In addition, the downwind speed of the leading edge of the plume is deterinined in crder to project the time available to take protec-tive actions. Finally, the duration of release and the prevailing rreteorologi-cal conditions are used to determine how long the pittne will take to pass over an area. This is irrpcrtant in deciding which protective actions to recorrrend. Deterinining Changes in Background Radiation After a Plume has passed over an area, depa, ding on its corposition, it rray depcsit radioactive materials on the ground. The level of radiation 2 j 1 l l C\ \ Vol. 1 2.5-2 Rev. 2 8/8G l
associated with this deposited rnaterial and the length of time it will take, to decay to sa. : levals, must be detennined. Different types of emergencies will This information is p) ( result in different types of radioactive deposits. necessary in order to select protectiva actions and to conduct recovery opera-tions after an anergency has been terminated (see Section 2.9) . 2.5.3 Accident issessment Action Plan To accortplish the tasks described aoove, OPHS must perform a ntmber of activities. These a:tivities will be conducted frun four different locations under cooNination provided by OPHS perscnnel assigned to the State IF0/ EOF. The following is a detailed description o3 the activities to be undertaken by OPHS to develop tne information described in Section 2.5.2. Activities in the State EOC Support of accident assessment activities will come frcrn the EOC. The decision making personnel located in the EOC will review and act upon prota.ctive ~ action reconmendations developed in the IF0/ EOF. Activities Directed frcm the IF0/ EOF OPHS will conduct its field monitoring activities frcrn the IFC/ EOF. Field - V monitorirg is needed to verify the dispersion calculations and to determine the l2 location and nature of actual Plure irrpacts. In addition, the State of New Harrpshirn will have representatives to receive ar.d discuss data available frcm the Util.ty. These individuals will be responsible for assuring the accuracy c r this infcrmation and develcpir'g protective action recorrmendations. These reccm-mendations, along with any clarifying cr supporting information, will be transmitted to the State EOC for concurrence (see Section 2.6 for the NH proce-dure for r aking protactive action recmmendations) . L. Plant Status Review - Informtion on the avergency status of the nuclent pwer plant will be receivad at the IF0/ EOF throughout the rmergency so that *;he State can keep abreast of hveloprents. This infctmation will be neeced in crder to fcrecast a reclassification of the emergency and to Vol. 1 2.5 - 3 Rev. 2 8/85
estimate when such a reclassification may occur. This infonnation will be used to enticipate possible releases of radioactivity and allow t'ho State to take A appmpriate protective actions including precautionary evacuation. t ) %.J
- b. Dispersion Calculations - Doanwind concentrations will be estinated
-for several time intervals based upon meteorological conoitions and a descrip-tion of the source tente (arnount of release, type of release, etc.) provided by the Utility. Estimates of when the leading edge of the Plu e will arrive, the area covered by the Plune, hoa long the Plune will take to pass, the radioactive levels for whole body exposure and concentrations of I-131 will be nude for Seabrook Station Accidents using METPAC, which is a ctrrputer based dispersion calculation technique, the use of which is detailed in nuterial 6n file at OPHS and the IF0/ EOF in Newington. Dispersion calculations for Vennont Yankee eccidents, and as a backup for METPAC for Seabrook Station accidents, will be perfcnned as described in the DPHS Procedures, Appendices 0, P, and Q.
2
- c. Interpretation of Data - Projections of radioactivity levels and radioisotope concentrations nuy be measured in units which differ fran the units used in the Protective Action Guidelines. PAGs developed by EPA and FHS/FDA (see Section 2.6) are written in tenrs of ran dose. Therefore, the projected p levels of radioactivity must be converted to a ran dose for each exposure path-k way. The resultent ran dose varies depending on the type of individual. For the purpose of reconTnending protective actions for the general population of New Harrpshire, dosen . vill be calculated based on the rrost sensitive segnent of the population, nemern to one year old infants. The calculations will be nude for direct whole body, thyroid, and Ingest ion Pathways.
Whole body dose is assumed to be equivalent to the wholn body external exposure. This is a conservative approach in that whole body dose is generally less than total external exposure. Radiation levels projectecJ for the Plume Exposure area will be converted to a ran dose. The projected thyroid dose is detennined fran the projected radiciodines concentration by rrultiplying by an estimate of the duration of exposure and the dose conversion factor for a newborn infant. ETPAC provides for thyroid dose conversion. ha Vol. 1 2.5 -4 Rev. 2 8/86
Before the dose an individual receives fecm a foed Ingestion Pathway can be calculated, the radioactive material nust be traced through the food chain. For (3 exarple, if I-131 has been deposited on dairy cows' pastum feed, the dose an V individual would receive from the pasture contamination would result fran the pasture-animal-milk pathway. These calculations can take time that is not available during an snergency. Therefore, a set of pre-anergency calculations have been made by FDA/HHS and OPHS. These pre-anergency calculations determine the level of radioactivity in the field that is associated with a particular Ingestion Pathway PAG. For the above exarple, the level of I-131 on the pastu"e, that is equivalent to a milk Ingestion Pathway PAG, would be calculated in advance. In a similar manner pre-emergency calculations have been made for many other irrportant Ingestion Pathways, and procedures for perforTning addi-tional calculations are contained in the OPHS procedures,
- d. Coordination with Other State and Federal Radiological Health Officials Other states will be conducting field rronitoring and dispersion calculations fcr their portions of the EPZ. The OPHS IF0/ EOF accident assessment staff will periodically exchange information and jointly review pro-O tective action reccmnedations with the radiological health specialists of these
. states.
During the course of an accident, NRC staff will be stationed at the EOF and the EOC. The observations and information obtained from these federal officials will be of value to the IF0/ EOF DPHS accident assessment staff and the decision makers at the EOC. Further, during the course of an accident, OPHS may have a need to supplanent its resources for accident assessrrent tasks. Two readily available sources are FRMAP and the New England Canpact on Radiologica! Health Protection (see Section 1.4 for a general description of each) . The need for additional I support will be determined by the IFO Accident Assessor and nust be approved by the DPHS Directcr at the EOC. Needs will be determined sufficiently in advance to allow for travel delays. The needs may be based on anticipated events and a l possible accident course that may not occur. I 1 l ( Vol. 1 2.5 -5 Rev. 2 8/86 l l
i Th2 specific n eds for FRMAP cnd Conpact resources cannot b2 d2termincd in ' advance of an accident and itanized in the RERP. OPHS considers'that it has ! sufficient personnel and equipnent to carry out a ccTplete response to most d accident scenarios, end to cover the initial response to all accidents. Instances that may require additional support includes i o Accidents taking place over a protracted period my require augmenting monitoring and accident assessment staff to assure reasonable w:rkloads and a thorough responses o Accidents that result in establishing large Exclusion Areas may require special equipnent, and personnel with appropriate training, to carry out t moritoring and environrental sanpling within the areas o Thi contanination of available equipnent, or breakdNns of one-of-a-kind ] itais may require securing replacements in order to continue monitoring, environmental sampling activities, and laboratory analysiss o Prolonged exposure of OPHS personnel to high levels of radiation may require supplemental personnel for monitoring and environmental saTpling activitiesj 3 o Recovery and re-entry activities in the wake of an accident that pro- , duced widespread contanination, or a high level of contanination, may .; require additional personnel and equipnent for a prolonged period of monitoring, saTpling, and clean-ups and o Aerial monitoring for technical assessment of caTcosition of the Pitme. l DPHS cannot state, for the RERP, when, during the course of an accident, it might make requests for technical support under FRMAP or the Conpact. As pre-viously noted, DPHS will require no support to carry out initial accident l assessment tasks, and it will anticipate all needs sufficiently in advance to ! allN time for marshalling and si.ipping equipnent and for personnel travel to i l 4 New HaTpshire (see Table 1.4-1 for time required by Federal agencies to arrive). 4 Conmon sense, practical considerations, and over-estimation of the threat posed by an accident will constitute the motivation for all technical assistance reauests. 2 i vol. 1 2.5 -S e Rev. 2 8/86 1
When requests are approved by the Director, OPHS, the OPHS EOC Radiological Health Technical Advisor (EOC RHTA) will r. uke the FRMAP-related request for assistance fran the DOE-Brookhaven facility. Specific needs will be provid M by the EOC RHTA, who will also confirm arrival times and arrange for any specific pre-arrival support requested. For Cormact-related support, the New Hanpshire Camact Administrator will cormlete the activation process specified in the New England Interstate Radiological Assistance Plan (provided as Appendix M to the OPHS Procedures). Again, specific needs will be described and arranganents for support will be made. Orce the requested support has arrived and/or laboratory facilities have been arranged for, the tactical control and coordination of all technical assistance will rest with the DPHS IFO Accident Assessor. Upon establishment of the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center, the OPHS IFO Accident Assessor will connunicate with the Federal Offsite Technical Oirector to obtain radiological monitoring and assessment infonnation. Logistical support will be provided by NHCOA. 2 O V Vol. 1 2.5-5b Ruv. 2 8/85 I
- e. FplemonitoringwithinthePlumeExposureEPZ OPHS will mobilize a minimum of three two-person field teans to monitor ground level radiation. The monitoring teans are made up of personnel frcrn OPHS who have received training (see Section 3.2) . During an cmergency, these field monitoring tearm report directly to OPHS. Field teans will be assanbled, equipped, and dispatched frcrn the OPHS facility at Hazen Drive in Concord, NH.
Deploynent of the teams to a point of readiness in the IF0/ EOF in Newington for Seabrook Station activities and at the assar61y point in Keene for Ve:Tnont Yankee activities will be accortplished in approximately one and one-half hours frcrn the time the decision to deploy the monitoring teams is trade. The Field Monitoring Teans are activated and staged at Newington (for action in Seabrook Station EPZ) and Keene (for action in the Vermont Yankee EPZ) at the ALERT EQL. The one-and-a-half hour travel and preparation time, there-fore, will not hinder a rapid reploynent of Field Monitors frcm the staging points if and when a release of radiation occurs. For VY, each tean will be equipped with a monitoring kit, anti-contanination clothing kit, KI and radios that will allow ccmnunications with the IFO ard State EOC. Contents of the monitoring kits are contained in Appendix C, and the 2 CPHS Pmccdures, Appendix G. The IFO HP will direct the teans to proceed to pre-selected monitoring points near the Plume. The monitoring teans will then proceed across the Pltme utilizing the PIC-6A to detect the Plume edges and centerline. Upon arriving at pre-selected monitoring points, the monitoring team will treasure whole body dose rate with the PIC-6A. The Radeco H-809C portable air sempler will be used to take air sarples using silver zeolite cartridges (charcoal cartridges will be used during drills) and particulate filters. Following this collection the RM-14 will be used to determine airborne radiciodines at levels less than 10'7 uCi/cc (microcuries per cubic centimeter) above typical background levels from the silver zeolite cartridges and airborne particulate levels from the particulate filters. The monitoring teans will report sample results to the IFO FP via radio and receive instructions on the next monitoring location. The IFO HP will relay p monitoring tean results to the State EOC for evaluation of dose projections. Vol. 1 2.5-6 Rev. 2 8/86
The pre-selected monitoring locations for the Vemont Yankee EPZ are shown O, in Figure 2.5-1. These locations heve been selected to be easily accessible. , Each monitoring location is referenced to a sector designation used by the Utility to report field monitoring or dispersion calculation results. Most sectors have at least one monitoring location that will allow the Plume to be adequately tracked as it travels outwaN frcm one sector to the next. Sector locations have been selected to be near population centers which is why there is i more than one monitoring location in some sectors. A key to the monitoring a locations for VY are provided in Table 2.5-1. For Seabrook Station each ten will be ec;uipped with a meteorological kit, 1 field monitoring kit, instnJction package, and a radio equipped . vehicle.
) Contents of the kits are contained in Volume 2, Appendix C and OPHS i Procedures, Appendix G Volume 4. The IFO/ EOF Monitoring Ten Coodinator will brief the tecins at the IF0/ EOF and direct them to report to the 2
Monitor Dispatch area. Once dispatched, the monitoring tears will proceed to l monitoring points utilizing the Seabrook Station EPZ grid map (Figure 2.5-2) . The monitoring tears will then proceed across the Plume utilizing the RO-2A to detect the Plume edges and centerline. Monitoring within the Plume is permitted until individual ctmulative exposure nears 350mR. Lpon arriving at the moni-toring points, the monitoring tears will measure whole body dose rate with the 2 R0-2A. The Radeco H-809C portable air sarpler will be used to take air samples using silver zeolite cartridges (charcoal cartridges will be used during drills) and particulate filters. Follcwing this collection, the E-140 will be used to , determine airborne radiciodines at levels less than 10-7 uCi/cc (microcuries per cubic centimeter) above typical background levels from the silver zeolite cartridges and airborn particulate levels frcm the particulate filters. The monitoring tears will report saTple results to the IFO accident assessment staff via radio and receive instructions on the next monitoring location. If necessary, aerial sa pling support will be conducted by OPHS monitoring personnel with support from the New Hanpshire National Guard or frcm the Civil Air Patrol. 2
- DPHS Procedures, Appendices B and C, Volume 4, provide additional infor-mation on the conduct of field monitoring.

monitoring schedule has been established for liquid spills. NH Water Supply and Pollution Control Conmission and CPHS have the capability of analyzing water smples for radioactive content. O V f. Food, Water, and Environmental Sanpling The nrnitoring team previously discussed will also be used to gather smples for detecting radionuclide depositions. The DPHS IFO Accident Assessor will determine if, where, and when sanple collection should be done. Generally, such sarpling is done after the initial accident assessment to confirn the deposition dose projer.tions for the Plume Exposure Pathway and the Ingestion Pathway, and which serve as the basis fer nuking protective action reconmendations . CPHS does not anticipate that smple analysis will be needed as a pre-condition to making the initial or subsequent protective action reconmendations . Sarpling and analysis is a confirmation step to that process and serves as a necessary pre-requisite to re-entry and recovery. CPHS staff will be assisted in the smple collection of animal feed, liquid milk, water sarples, shellfish sarples, and from pastures, crops, crchards, and food processing facilities by staff available from the state Department of Agriculture, Department of Fish and Game, and Water Supply and Pollution Control Coninission. Requests for such assistance will be initiated by the CPHS IFO accident assessment staff, authorized by the Director, CPHS, and nude by the DPHS ECC Radiological Health Technical Advisor (EOC RHTA). All sarples collected will be prioritized for analysis by the DPHS IFO Accident Assessor. Preliminary screening of sann smples may occur at the IFO under supervision of IFO Accident Assessment, as necessary, prior to a corplete analysis. All smples will be forwarded to the DPHS laboratory in Concord fer analysis and all results will be sent # rom the laboratory to the IFO for use in accident assessment activities (see the discussion beltw on the activities of the CPHS laboratcry).
- g. Carpiling Plant Process Parmuters The Utility will provide informStion on the status of the cmcrgency con-ditions existing in the plant. Of critical inportance are data concerning anti-cipated releases. The nature of the energency, time until release, and expected duration of release are inportant for nuking protective action decisions. The source term, which describes the concentration and type of radioisotopes to be released, and other venting characteristics, is also necessary fcr perfcming i

dispersion calculations. In addition, information on the plant status will be needed to detemine whether the anergency may be classified to a higher (g) Ermrgency Classification Level and when such reclassification nuy occur. This information will allow NHCDA to prepare for additional actions that may be necess ary.
- h. Determining tocal Meteorology - The Utility will provide local meteorological data frarn its meteorological equipnent. Such data are essential for making dispersion calculations. This data will be supplanented by data frcyn the Concord Flight Service Station fMS, NOAA or Pease AFB. OPHS field moni-toring team will be equipped to determine local meteorological conditions in the fielo using equignanc contained in Appendix G to DPHS Procedures for Seabrock Station, Vohrne 4. This equipnent will allow OPHS field moniters to confirvn meteorological data from the preceeding sources. It will also allow monitoring teans to detect local variability of meteorological conditions at the specific locations whero environmental measurcrnents are being taken.
- i. Campiling Utility Field Monitoring Data - The Utility will be using its own field rmnitoring tea,s and laboratories to measure radiological con-tanination levels in the EPZ (Ref. VY Em. Plan and SS Em. Plan, Section 10.1) .
These data will be passed along to DPHS. For SS NH State teans and utility toans will be dispatched jointly, J. Obtaining the Utility's Protective Action Recoranendations - The Utility will make protective action reccrrmandations based on its assessment of the accident. These recornnendations will be obtained by CPHS, along with the basis for such recornnendations. 2 Activities Located in OPHS Laboratories The Division of Public Health Services Laboratory Supervisor will receive all field sanples collected by DPHS monitoring personnel, other state agencies, and, if activated, FRMAP and Ccrnpact-state personnel. All samles received at the laboratory will be processed in accordance with the priorities established l by the DPHS IFO accident assessment staff. The priorities may reflect the results of samle screening activities carried out at the IF0/ EOF by OPHS staff. 2 l l I Vol. 1 2.5-16 Rev. 2 S/86 l l
The testing of samles will be done, in so far as the prioritics pomit, at the DPHS laboratory. That laboratory is designed and equipped to be a full ser-V vice, stand alona facility. Should the volurne of samles and their testing pricrities excesd the imediate capacity of the laboratory, the CPHS Laboratory Supervisor will dispatch samles by the quickest available means to laboratory facilities availcble under FRMAP and/or the Camact (see OPHS Proceduros, Appendix M, for the Camact process) . Prior to such dispatch of samples, the DPHS Laboratory Supervisor will contact the DPHS IFO Accident Assessor to 1) confim that the Camact and/or FRMAP have been activated, 2) confim the samla priorities, and 3) receive authorization to dispatch the samles out of state. The primary means of comunication between the DPHS laboratory and the IF0/ EOF will be conventional telephona, with NHCDA radio backup. Test results for samles sent to FRMAP and/or Comact Laboratory Facilities will be phoned to the DPHS Laboratory Supervisor, with hard copy provided by the quickest available means thereafter. The DPHS Laboratory Supervisor will for-ward all test results to the IFO Accident m, ,ssor. The equipment located at the DPHS laboratory is listed in Tablo 2.5-2 and in Appendix C. This equipnent has the capability to perfom the analyses listed V in Table 2.5-3. Table 2.5-2a identifies the equignent for which a purchase connitment has been rude. Upon installation, this equignent will be listed in Table 2.5-2. The laboratory equignent of the Camact states is listed in Appendix M of the OPHS Procedures. The Water Supply and Pollution Control Connission also has laboratcry capabilities co-located with the DPHS laboratory. Sanple ccreening capabilities at the IFO are given in Table 2.5-5. The activitics described above each contribute in a specific way to pro-ducing the accident assessment tasks. Table 2.5-4 relates each of these activi-ties to the accident assessment tasks discussed in Section 2.5.2. 1 l 1 1 i O Vol. 1 2.5-16a Rev. 2 B/86 l l l

2.6 Protective Response 1 i 2.6.1 Objective O This secticn sets forth the protective actions that may be taken by the Emergency Response Organization to control the radiological exposures to which the public may be subjected in the event of a significant rulcase of radiolog-ical materials frcm a fixed nucicar facility. 2.6.2 Radiation Exposure Pathways j A radioactive plume released fecm a nuclear power plant consists of gas-ecus and/cr particulate material. Three dcminant modes of exposure have been I identified for these atmospheric releases. The first is whole body exposure to grina radiation in the pitmo. For planning purposes, it is ass med that the whole body dose is equivalent to the whole body external exposure. Whole body external exposure is generally a concern associated with direct contact with the Plume and, in severe accidents, with ground deposition of radioactive materials within the Pitme Exposure EPZ. The second pathway is thyroid exposure to radiological materials. This occurs primarily as a result of inhalation or ingestion of radioactive mater-ials. The principal inhalation dose is frcm radiciodines, most noticeably Iodine-131. Because the thyroid gland concentrates iodines, the thyrcid donc can be consiccrably greatcr than the corresponding whole body gcTTM dose. As with whole body exposure, however, thyroid doses are generally associated with direct exposure to the pitme within the Pluma Exposure EPZ.
- The third mode is exposure of internal organs other than the thyroid gland 1 (e.g., lungs cr digestive tract). This made results frcm both direct exp;sure 1 to the plume within the Plume Exposure EPZ (i.e., breathing the pitme), and from indirect exposure to radioactive materials. The indirect exposure is generally a result of ingesting radioactive materials deposited by the plume ovcr the larger area represented by the Ingestion Pathway EPZ. The indirect exposure generally results frcm htman constmption of cont minated food and water
; s upplies . Exposure to radiation through the food chain occurs most quickly via ingestion of contcminated drinking water, milk, meats, leafy vegetables, and
] fruits. For this indirect exposure associated with the Ingestion Pathway, the 4

FOA has identified. Icdine-131, Cesitm-134, Cesitm-137, Strontiurn-90, and Strontium-89.as the principal radioactive alernents of concern. 2
- 2.6.3 Protective Action Guides for Oirect Exposure Within the Plurne Exposure EPZ Protective Action Guides (PAGs) are the nunerical projected dose level cri-teria which act as trigger pairi;s for initiating protective response actions.
The U.S. EPA has developed Protective Action Guides for radiological energency response planning for direct exposure to radioactive materials within the Plume Exposure EPZ. The guides, as well as' the scientific basis for selecting thern, are published in the Manual of Protective Action Guides for Nuclear Incidents (EPA 520/1-75-001). These guides are listed in Table 2.6-1. These guides are defined in tents of the projected dose that would occur if no protective action were taken in response to a release frorn a radiological source. No con-sideration of prior doses is taken into account with these Protective Action Guides. EPA delineates a range of PAG doses for the general public, as noted in Table 2.6-1. These guidelines provide protection for the most sensitive msnbers of the general population: women who are pregnant and infants. New Hampshire ; has chosen to base its protective action decisions on the lowest values cited by EPA, that is, a 1 rern whole body dose, and a 5 ran thyroid dose. In the event l of an emergency, una.~,ticipatec events nay make adherence to the minimurn values.

impossible, but planning to base protective action decisions on the minimum dose h rates increases the probability that the upper end of the EPA range will not be exceeded. (-] L ,/ The PAG doses for emergency worker exposure are significantly higher than those for the public. Emergency t.orker PAG dose? (i.e., exposures greater than the PAG doses for the general public) mJst be specifically authorized by DoHS. 2 Lifesaving PAG doses may be authorized by OPHS for volunteer energency workers only when necessary to save lives. These PAG doses, however, have little applicability to offsite anergency response activity. They are more directly applicable to the onsite anergency workers at the nuclear power plant sites. 2.6.4 Protective Action Guides for Indire_ct Exposure Within the Ingestion Pathway EPZ The Food and Drug Administration of tht! U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has developed Protective Action Guides for use in protecting the public frcm radiation exposure via the Ingestion Pathway (47 FR 47073) . These guides (] are for exposures to racionuclides such as Iodine-131, Cesiani-134, Cesitrn-137, U Strontium-90, and Strontitrn-89 which can be deposited on pastures, food crops, 2 and orcharcs, or on meats and produce ready for cale in retail markets. Of spe-cial importance is contanination of milk, either directly, or through the pasture-animal-milk pathway. The PA& have been developed for whole body and thyroid exposures. Whole body exposure guides include consideration of the l effects of radiation on bone marrcw and other orgars. As with the PAGs establiched fcr direct exposure, these PAGs are defined in terms of projected dose and no prior dose is taken into account. Tasse PAGs are listed in l Table 2.6-2. The Preventive Action PAGs, which are set at much lower levels, 1 are designed to provide e threshold to take actions to protect ingestible l materials before they beccme sericualy contaninat ed. By taking timely action at l i this level, food and water can be conserved for use. Preventive actions can l O i i Vol. 1 2.6-3 Rev. 2 8.66 G
include sheltering food supplies, placing dairy herds on stored feed, washing 7y and peeling vegetables or fruits and delaying distribution of foods and milk to ( (s) market until radioactive decay reduces contanination levels. Ecergency actions are more severe. They may include bans on harvests, con- l decnation and/or destruction of food, milk and water supplies ordered by OPHS I in conjunction with the NH Departcent of Agriculture and the NH Water Supply and j l Pollution Control Cannission. l 2.G.5 Protective Actions for Direct Exposure l Within the Pltre Exposure EPZ New Hampshire will rely on two protective actions for limiting the direct l exposure of the general public within the Plune Exposure EPZ. These are f sheltering and evacuation. Either of these protective actions will be coupled with access control to prevent unauthorized entry into the area in which the protective action is being implernented. Sheltering 'p\m,/ Sheltering involves remaining inside, closing all doors and windows, turning off all ventilation systens utilizing air drawn from outside, extinguishing all unnecessary canbustion, and sealing, to the extent possible, all other access to the outdoor air. Heavier construction meterials or 2 TABLE 2.6-2 PAGs FOR INCESTION PATH. JAY (Projected Dose in rans) Actions to Be Taken Whole Body Thyroid Preventive Actions .5 1.5 Emergency Actions 5 15 (

increased layers of building material increase the amount of protrction frcm exposure to radiation. Ther7 fore, shelter should be sought in the lowest level of the building (e.g., in basenents), away frcyn windcus. Sheltering can reduce both whole body and thyroid doses. However, over longer exposure periods, sheltering would be more effective in reducing whole body doses. The reason for the difference in whole body and thyroid sheltering effectiveness over time is that whole body sheltering protection is almost entirely dependent upon the type and quantity of construction material through which gsTrna rays from a radioac-tive pitme would be shielded. These factors, and hence, the external (whole body) level of shielding protection remain constant over time. Conversly, inha-lation (thyroid) sheltering protection is highly dependent upon the ebility of a facility to limit the exchange of indoor air with outdoor air. Although this factor also depends on type and quantity of construction material, the ability to limit air exchange tends to decrease with time since outdoor air can penetrate through the perimeter of doors, windows, and through small cracks, thus resulting in eventual air mixing. Thyroid sheltering effectiveness therefore, decreases with time. With the above dkcussion in mind, sheltering may be considered as a pro-tective response for exposures to airborne releases with durations of several hours, and possibly more, depending upon the characteristics of the gaseous fission product releases . The dose reduction provided by a shelter is a func-2 tion of its shielding and ventilation characteristics and the length of time for r the plume to travel over the area. Sheltering beccrnes less attractive with increasing durations of exposure coupled with high magnitude releases. Sheltering is a valuable protective action option for several reasons. It can 'be implanented quickly, usually in a matter of minutes. In addition, it is less expensive and less disruptive of nonnal activities than evacuation. Implanentation and management of sheltering is also less denanding on the resources of the energency response organization since no vehicles, traffic control and dispatching of equipped energency workers is required. Once a decision to reccmnend sheltering as a protective action has been made by the Governcr, fliCOA will instruct the public via the Emergency Broadcast Systan (see Section 2.1) . The message may include, but is not limited to, (1) The areas where shelter is reccmnended Vol. 1 2.G-5 Rev. 2 8/86
(2) The basic shelter instructions which will be broadcast over EBS . include: ' a. Close all doors, windows and vents:
- b. Turn off all fans, heating or air conditioning equignent, utilizing air drawn from outside' 2
- c. Extinguish all unnecessary corrbustions
- d. Renein indoors until advised otherwise; move to' the baserrent if you nave one or a room with the fewest windowss
- e. Do not use telephone except for errergency
- f. Keep radio or TV on for further infornetion.
Messages that will continue to keep the public infortred during sheltering will be broadcast on EBS, New Hanpshire enploys the "Shelter-in-Place" concept. This concept provi-des for sheltering at the location in which the sheltering instruction is received. Those at horre are to shelter at horres those at wow or school are to be sheltered in the werkplace or school building. Transients located indoors q or in private homes will be asked to shelter at the locations they are visiting if this is feasible. Transients without access to an indoor location will be advised to evacuate as quickly as possible in their own vehicles (i.e., the vehicles in which they arrived). Departing transients will be advised to close , the windows in their vehicles and use recirculating air until they have cleared the area subject to radiation. If necessary, transients without transportation nuy seek directions to a nearby public building from local energency workers. Public buildings nay be set up and opened as shelters for transients, on an ad hoc basis, if any unforseen darrend for shelter arises during ,n energency. Individuals located in State parks and outdoor recreation areas will be asked to leave open areas and leave the EPZ as indicated above. The Departnent of Resources and Economic Development, the Department of Fish and Game and the 2 Division of Boating Safety have the responsibility to locate and notify these O Vol. 1 2.6-6 Rev. 2 8/86
individuals. The Coast Guard is responsible for notifying individuals in boats on the open sea adjacent to Seabrook Station (see Letters of Agreement, Volume (~hl 5). \ V Sheltering may not be considered a feasible protective action on the seacoast beaches during the striner. For this reason, early precautionary beach closures may be implanented. The conditions under which such an action may be taken are described in NHRERP Vol. 4, NHCOA Procedures, Appendix F. Except for the institutionalized population, sheltering and evacuation will be implemented on a municipality-by-nunicipality basis in New Hanpshire. One town may be advised to take shelter, while an abutting town is advisad to evacuate or take no protective action. The decision to implanent sheltering or evacuation of a particular town in the EPZ would be based on the assumption that projected doses to the general population would equal or exceed EPA Protective Action Guides (PACS) for these actions (see Section 2.6.3) . The general population dose projections in New Hanpshire conservatively take credit for sheltering protection factors of 0.9 for whole body external exposure 0.5 and 0.5 (release duration less than 1 hour) or 1 T- (release duration greater 0.5 than 1 hour) for thyroid exposure. The thyroid exposure factor ( i.e. 1 - T ) approaches unity as t, which is the release duration, gets larger. This ic /] consistent with the fact stated previously that sheltering effectiveness for O thyroid exposure decreases over time due to the eventual air mixing between outdoor and indoor locations. Other studies have indicated that an average dose reduction of 35 percent (i.e. 0.55 shelter factor) can be expected for sheltered individuals for exposure periods lasting as long as 15 hours.1 For institutionalized populations (including those in hospitals, nursing homes and jails), a more detailed evaluation of protective action reconTnen-dations is under-taken based upon facility-specific sheltering protection fac-tors. Sheltering in place will normally be the preferred protective action for institutional facilitias, the nature of which require that the implenentation of protective actions, particularly evacuation, be considered very carefully with respect to associated risks and derived benefits. The actual dose criteria (PACS) utilized in choosing between sheltering and evacuation will be the sane for the general population and institutionalized individuals.

However, using general population dose projections as the basis for ccm-parison with PAGs for institutionalized populations would be imprudent, since the actual doses to be received by these individuals would likely be nuch lower N than the general population. This is because generally, the structures in. which the institutionalized population reside are larger and more solidly constructed than typical single-fanily hones. Additionally, the dranatic differences between the levels of risk encountered from such factors as the mechanism of an evacuation itself warrant independent evaluations and separate / specific protective action reconmendations for each institutional faci-lity. If such determinations indicate evacuation of a particular tcwn, with a facility sheltered in place, the State will ensure the r.eeds of the facility are met. Table 2.6-3 contains a listing of institutions in the Seabrook EPZ which are subject to independent evaluations of protective actions, along with each facility's appropriate sheltering factor (SF) and projected dose (general popu-lation) which would either warrant evacuation (whole body / thyroid) or adrni-nistration of potassium iodide (thyroid). Potassitrn iodide may be aaministered to institutionalized individuals who are sheltered in place in accordance with Section 2.7.3, OPHS Procedures, Voltrne 4 and individual Special Facility Plans (/ for those insititutions. Although not utilized in the general population dose projections, Table 2.6-4 provides representative values of external sheltering factors for typical structures that can be found in the SS and VY EPZs. These values provide an approxi9ation of the levels of protection which can be expected from the various building types. It should be re-mphasized that New Hampshire Protective Action decision making is consistent with the sheltering in place concept, meaning that specialized radiation shelters and/or shelter relocation stretegies are not required for protection of health and safety of the public. The dose projection / protective action reconmendation process is inherently conservative 2 l

Of course, there will certainly be differences in the amount of protection to be afforded, depending on the structures in which sheltered individuals are housed. This fact may pronpt public health officials to utilize available inforTnation including Table 2.6-4 as a basis for reconmending various sheltering strategies as seen fit for existing con-ditions. For instance, it may be desirable to keep children in school (as opposed to early dismissal) if it is known that the school building inherently provides a higher level of sheltering protection than would be expected at home. These kinds of decisions will be considered by DPHS officials in an effurt to minimize total population exposure. 2 Evacuation If all potential radiological exposure can be avoided by inplementing a timely evacuation, evacuation may be the preferred protective action. khere inplementation of protective action is deemed appropriate, and where time and plant conditions permit, evar.uctior' will generally be the selected course of ; action. The constraints to usin' aw ;n are the time and resources required to initiate and inplement the at ..... In addition, evacuation involves significant displaccrnent of people, families and economic activities, and potential problerm ! associated with controlling access and naintaining the security of evacuated areas. Likewise, an evacuation itself involves sorm limited potential public safety risk. These difficulties will be considered prior to recorrrrending an evacuation. Evacuation, like sheltering, will be inplemented on a trunicipality-by-I nunicipality basis. The primary means of transpcrtation for evacuation will be privately-owned vehicles of the evacuees. Each town that may require evacuation of its population has'en individual designated with the responsibility of assessing specific needs. These needs fall within the categcries of schools, other special facilities, residents, special vehicles, and physical help. Special arrangements have been planned for the transport of these people, and are as follows. Vol. 1 2.6-11 Rev.:2 8/85
Evacuation of Schcols - In the event an evacuation is initiated during school hours, New Hampshire children will be bused directly to Reception Center locations. The provision of the buses will t;e coortfinated by the State. Children will renain under supervision of either School Department personnel or members of the State Emergency Response Organization until they are released to their parents or guardians. Evacuation of Other Special Facilities - Evacuation of special facilities will be coordinated by the State EOC Resources Coordinator and the State Bureau of Emergency Medical Services. In the event an evacuation of a special facility in the Seabrook EPZ is desned by OPHS to be appropriate, the State EOC Resources Coordinator will direct the dispatch of required vehicles to the Local Staging Areas, where they will be provided maps and directions to the facility. Any . additional unanticipated vehicle needs will be coordinated through the Tosn IFO
, Local Liaison.
Evacuation of Residents Requiring Transportation - Provision for transpor-tation assistance to residents is principally applicable only to the Seabrook EPZ. The nunber of persons requiring transportation support in each town of the Seabrook EPZ during an energency are identified annually in a special needs population survey conducted by NHCOA. (This survey was initiated in March O 1986). The numbers were increased 50 percent over total responses received in order to account for any persons requiring transportation who may have failed to I respond to the survey for one reason or another. For the most part, it is expected that residents requiring transportation, including non-autonobile owning individuals and persons without access to their vehicles, will leave the EPZ irt autonobiles of friends, neighbors, or relatives. However, for those who depend on state provided transportation during an evacuation, buses will be pro-vided that will drive along pre-designated routes for the pickup of residents. In the event of an evacuation, the State EOC Resources Coordinator will direct the dispatch of the buses from the State Staging Area to the Local Staging Areas. There, the buses will be provided with route maps and directions for driving along the pre-designated routes. Another means of pickup may be through the use of pickup points within the toan. EBS messages indicate that buses will be provided for residents requiring transporation. Designated bus routes are ! outlined in the State 2 i Vol. 1 2.6-iia Rev. 2 8/86 I I
Public Infortnation materials provided to all EPZ residents. Each vehicle assigned to pick up residents requiring transportation will collect its ('; passengers within the town and take them to the Local Staging Area. At the \d Local Staging Area they will be transferred to the appropriate Reception Center. Any additional unanticipated bus needs will be coordinated through the town IFO Local Liaison. Evacuation of Special Needs Population - The individual in each town, who is responsible for overall transportation requirements (e.g. Transportaticn Coordinator) maintains a current listing of town residents who require evacua-tion by either special vehicle or that require physical help to evacuate. This population component (list unpublished) includes people that only require assistance in boarding passenger vehicles as well as those requiring renoval by mbulance or special van. The Transportation Coordinator (or responsible twn official) is responsible for ensuring transportation is provided for special needs. This includes those individuals previously identified and listed on the Special Needs List, and also any individuals who telephone the EOC requesting transportation assistance. Attachment 1 of the Transportation Coordinator's (or responsible town official's) emergency procedure, in each town plan, includes the results of the NHCDA survey for special needs evacuation denunds. These results are listed as transportation requirments. Transportation requirements are transmitted to the town IFO Local Liaison for assignment and dispatch of appropriate transportation resources. State assistance will be requested by each tean through the IF0/ EOF. One representative of the State's Bureau of Ermrgency Medical Services (EMS) will be located at the State EOC in Concord. As outlined in Section 2.8 of the NHRERP, this individual is prepared to respond to requests for assistance for the towns. The State has designated evacuation routes to be used in each of the Plume Exposure EPZs. The evacuation routes for the Seabrook Station EPZ are shown in Figure 2.6-1: the designated evacuation routes for VY are shoan in Figure 2.0-2. Traffic control points, which are the responsibility of local mergency workers, will also expedite traffic flow during the irrplementation of an evacuation. If necessary, an evacuation can be irtplmented during adverse weather, including snow stcntc. The conmanities within the plume exposure EPZ have sple equip-rrent for dealing with snos removal and route nuintenance since this is a normal winter function in New Hartpshire. The State has provided several means for (N supplerronting local route treintenance capabilities should these become desirable. The New Hartpshire Department of Transportation is prepared to use it's main-tenance equiprent, including plows and trucks, and twing equiprent to maintain Vol. 1 2.6- llb Rev. 2 8/86

these routes during adverse weather and as unforeseen irrpediments to evacuation occur. This equipment can be made available within a few hours of receiving p requests for support. Should even more support be required, New Hanpshire V National Guard equipment and personnel rrey be used as a backup. Activation tirres for this backup resource would be considerably longer. It would likely take between two and twelve hours to mobilize and dispatch National. Guard Resources. Appendix C contains a listing of the equipment available from State sources to irrplement this task ' These State and local resources may also be used to rerreve inpediments to evacuation, such as stalled vehicles. The State has also executed letters of agreement with private tcw cortpanies in and near the.Seabrook EPZ. The letters, indicating agreement to provide ermrgency sup- . port, are included in Volume 5 of the NHRERP. If needed, these vehicles can be requested through and coordinated by State Police Troop A. s The planning basis for the evacuation includes data on darographics, popu- , lation distribution, evacuation route traffic capacities, traffic control points I and time needed to evacuate selected subareas. There are no facilities or bus-inesses within the 10 mile EPZ whose shut-doan time requirerrents will irrpact the timing of evacuation transportation resources. The SS data are contained in Appendix E to the N P ERP which is titled Planning Basis Data for SS Protective Actions. This appendix consists largely of data conpiled and reported upon in 3 the Seabrook Station Evacuation Time Estimates and Traffic Management Plan Update ccTpiled by KLD Associates, Inc and contained in Volume 6 of the NHRERP. The VY data are contained in Volume 2, Appendix F which is titled Planning Basis Data for VY Protective Actions.

Access Control Access control restricts entry of the Plume Exposure EPZ by unauthorized individuals. It is a necessary adjunct to either sheltering or evacuation. ' Access control prevents unknowing persons frorn entering an area where they may
- be exposed to radiation. It also helps clear traffic from the roads within the EPZ, so they may be better used for evacuation and/or energency vehicles.
Access control also provides security for areas that have been evacuated. ; New Hanpshire State Police will irrplement access control. Personnel from the State Police will be assigned to preselected access control points for each EPZ. The pre-selected access control points for the SS Plume Exposure EPZ are 2 shown in Voltrne 2, Appendix Es the corresponding access control points for VY are shoan in Figure 2.6-2. Both figures show that prior planning has been done to control access to the entire Pltme Exposure EPZ. If necessary, this planning l can serve as the basis for controlling access to sub-areas within the EPZ, or to larger areas beyond the boundaries of the EPZ. The locations of these access control points and instructions for operating then are outlined in the State Police procedures. Before and during an evacuation, nonessential population is denied entry to the controlled area. At this time only the following personnel will be allowed entry: l Federal, state and local officials with proper agency identification s ; Emergency response vehicles with specific missions and destinations ! (i .e. , buses, anbulances, tow trucks) 3 Mmbers of the press with press credentials (unless otherwise specified), f 9 Employees of the utilities responding to the plant, who have I appmpriate identifications and ! Residents with appropriate identification (e.g.s drivers licenses ! returning to their htmes to prepare to evacuate. [

acess control boundary creates an Exclusion Area frcm which both transients and residents are restricted. All individuals will be restricted frcm re-entering this area in accordance with the procedure outlined below.
- 1. Except as specified in State Police procedures, the general public will be prohibited frcm entry into an established Exclusion Area until approved by the Director of OPHS. Although the general public may be prohibited frcm re-entry, the following categories of people may be allowed temporary access to the Exclusion Area:' t 3 2 o Fam owners and/or employees with livestock-and associated farm care responsibilities.
o Owners, Managers and selected employees of conmercial establistments with responsibilities for the security and preservation of equipment and products threatened by an evacuation. 2 ,
- 2. Access to an Exclusion Area which has been established by DoHS within the 10-mile EPZ, shall be approved by the OPHS Director, or his designee, on l a "Need vs. Risk" casis. (See Section 2.7 for Emergency Personnel !
Procedures.) { l 3. All persons permitted entry will be issued a dosimeter and an "Exclusion Area Pass" (exanple shown in Figure 2.6-3) which will be valid for a ! d specific period of time, and only for the specific location where business , will be conducted. Passes will be cequentially nurrbered and entered in the Exclusica Area Pass Log. A sarple of the Exclusion Area Pass Log for- j mat is shcwri on Figure 2.6-4. The Radiological Exposure Clerk will issue ! Exclusion Area Passes and Dosimetry /KI frcm the IF0/ EOF. l l l i 4 All persons with an Exclusion Area Pass will be logged "in" and "out" cn the Access Control Log by a State cmergency worker at the Access Control Point. (A sample of the log is shown in Figure 2.6-5). i Vol. 1 2.6-17 Rev. 2 8/86 l
- 5. The only individuals who may ba granted entry to En cxclusion arca without an Exclusion Area Pass are anergency workers on an anergency assignment.
The anergency workers assigned to the task must have the required dosime-( ) ters and the capability for direct or indirect radio ccTmunications with the IF0/ EOF. The following actions will be taken to facilitate the entry of workers who meet the above requironents. The anargency workers' supervisor will pro-vide the Radiological Exposure clerk at the IFO with the nanes and current radiation exposure of the workers requiring entry upon explanation of the energency assigrinent, and the location of the access control point the workers will use to enter the exclusion area. The Radiological Exposure clerk will corplete the exclusion area pass process for the workers. If approval for entry is obtained, the IF0/ EOF will notify the access control to admit the anergency workers to the exclusion area. The IF0/ EOF will also notify the anergency worker (s) of their assigned maximum dosimeter reading. When leaving the exclusion area, the workers will notify the IF0/ EOF of their final dosimeter readings and the time they departed to the exclusion area. r^N
- 6. Persons entering the Exclusion Area more than once will be informed of (v) their cunulative dose readings and prohibited fran entry when the ctinula-tive dose reaches 1R. However, under special circunstances DPHS rrey authorize up to the level allowed for anergency workers in accordance with Section 2.7.4.
- 7. All persons leaving the Exclusion Area will be irstructed to read their self-reading dosimeters at the access control point. If they have a reading on their self-reading dosimeters they will be instructod to reocrt to a monitoring / decontamination facility at the nearest reception center to be checked for contaaination. If there is no reading on their self-reading dosimeters they will be instructed to report to the IFO. 2 l

2.6.6 Protective Actions for Indirect Exposure Within thd Ingestion Pathway EPZ O Protective actions for indirect exposure are designed to minimizo oppor-tunities for the htman constmption of radiologically contaninated material'. The following protective actions are included in this category. Milk Control Preventing contamination of milk is an important element of the Ingestion Pathway protective actions. Actions for controlling constmption of contaninated milk are classified as preventive or energency actions. Preventive actions include two approaches. One involves protectiny, animal feed and ordering dairy fartners to use only stored feed rather than letting the herd graze on con-taninated pasture. In New Hampshire, contamination of dairy feed is not likely to be a significant problen, since 75-80*. of all feed is stored. Most silos are l filled for the year, and erotied daily according to need. Horizontal silos use I plastic or other coverings and are becaning the dominant method of feed storade. The second preventive action is for milk that has been directly con- i taninated. It involves delaying its release to market or diverting it to other uses which alloa the radioactivity to decay befcre constmption. In addition to the above, Emergency Protective Ahtions may require condemning and destroying i milk supplies to prevent distribution to the market. Control of milk will bo ordered, as necessary, by OPHS, and implanented by , the Nea Hampshire Department of Agriculture by direct contact with the dairy fann ! , owners / operators. The 03partment cf Agriculture maintains lists of all conner- i l cial dairy operations in each of the three ingestion pathway EPZs. These lists
- are included in Appendix 0 of this RERP. .
I e Water Control ; i I Water supplies that receive a major pcrtion of their water from the surrounding watershed will be the focus of protective actions for water control. 7 The soil may have been contaninated and run-off may concentrate radioactive i Vol. 1 2.6-22 Rev. 2 8/80 l
k materials in the water supply. Reservoirs that are filled by pumping frcm flosing strean: can be protected by prohibiting pumping when run-off causes an increase in contamination. As necessary, OPHS will ask the New Hanpshire Water Supply and Pollution Control Corrmission to control the use of water fran poten-tially coni.aninated public surface water supplies within each ingestion pathway EPZ. Public surface water supplies can be tanporarily condanned until testing < for radioactivity levels can be undertaken to confirm or refute the need for control. Wells and groundwater sources are not likely to be contaminated but I will be checked if they are muddy or otherwise suspected of having received run- [ off from contanineted soils. Condannation of surface water supplies will be implemented by the Conmission ! through direct contact with the water supply owner / operators. The Connission maintains a list of all public water supplies in New I apshire. This list is included in Appendix 0 of this RERP. l Food Control ! Field and orchard crops or other foods may be contaminated by deposition frcm the radioactive Plume. Preventive actions require these foods to be stored until the radioactivity has decayed or been washed off. Emergency protective j q actions wi]l be used only if crops have been so heavily contaninated thet preven- [ tive measures are ineffective. Emergency Actions will prevent food frcm entering ; the market place. 5 CoH3 will crder, and the Dep<ronent of Agriculture will implanent control of l harvesting, sale of crops, and, if necessary, condunnation of contanineted foods. ) These protective actions will be implanented by direct contact with the conner- ) cial producers. Lists of the connercial agricultural facilities in the three 1 Ingestion Pathway EPZs are maintained by the Department and are contained in j, Appendix D of this RERP. I The above protective actions are for use during an arcrgency. Deposition of particulates on the ground, paved surfaces, and other surfaces may increase background levels and contaninate soil. The long-term effects of this increase in background levels will be monitored and actions taken as appropriate. Recovery actions are designed to address these longer term problars and are discussed in Section 2.9 of this RERP. t 2 l

- Maps fr reco"ding Ingestion Pathway data, including locations of key land use, agricultural facilities, water supply location and related infomation, are kept at the State and local EOCs and at the IFO/EOFs. These rreps, which are too large to be included in the plan proper, are suitable for use in identifying areas.and facilities where protective actions may be necessary and for recording survey and monitoring data.
2.6.7 Criteria for Selecting Protective Actions for Direct Exposure Within the Pltrne Exposure EPZ One purpose of developing a RERP is to reduce' the response time in the event of an mergency at a nuclear power station. To facilitate planning, a n eber of accident scenarios have been developed by NRC. These are the basis for the pro-tactive action decision criteria discussed in this section. It should be noted, however, that these criteria are sufficiently flexible to be applied to any type r of radiological release from a nuclear power plant. Procedures for application of these criteria are contained in Protective Action Decision Criteria for the State of New Hmpshire. See NHRERP Volume 4, NHC0A Procedures, Appendix F. In addition to the criteria contained in this section, plant status and : prognosis are considered for early precautionary actions for seasonal populations and for e fast-moving incident. Figure 2.6-6 is a flow diagre of the pr 1ss by which plant status and prognosis are considered to detemine early precaution- , ary actions. If plant technical data indicate that a plant safety system is ] degraded or has the potential to fail thereby initiating a declaration of ALERT l cr more severe ECL, irrmediate consideration will be given to irrpleentation of i
! precautionary actions for seasonal populations. If the degrading plant con-diticn leads to a release cr potential for a release, thereby initiating declaration of a SITE AREA EMERGENCY or more severe ECL, inmediate protective ,
actions will be reconinended for seasonal populations and for the general public within a two mile radius and five miles downwind. 2 The discussion below explains the decision process for chcosing evacuation or shelter as a protective action during an mergency response.

- 8. Oose Reduction Factor (DRF) - The DRF is the cmount of protection offered by a protective action. It is measured as the proportion of the projected dose that is expected after a protective action has been taken. The DRF can range frcm zero (camplete protection) to 1.0 (no protection).
! lho PACS have been predetermined as outlined in Table 2.6-1. ORFs for typi-cal structures in both Pltme Exposure EPZa have also been predetemined. The l values for the other six variables will be detemined during an Emergency res pons e. Figura 2.6-7 is a flow diagram of the process in which these eight f variables are used by OPHS and NHCDA to derive protective action reconmendations for the Governor. This New Hcmpshire protective action selection prccess is based upon EPA guidance (EPA 520/1-78-0018). The process is built around six chronological decision steps, represented by the ntrnbered dicmond-snaped blocks in Figure 2.6-6. At each of these six steps one or rnare of the eight decision variables, previously outlined, is required as input, and the output is either a direct protective action decision, or a detemination to move to the next decision step. The following discussion traces the six-step decision process. NOTE: Special consideration is given to the advisability of closing the public and private beaches within the EPZ at ALERT classification, as a precau-tionary measuru, regardless of the availability of a projected dose data. (See Volume 4, Appendix F, Protective Action Decision Criteria.) , i Block #1 - At Block #1, OPHS must detemine whether projected doses exceed PAGs for whole body cr thyroid doses. Input data needed for this detemination are listed in Box A. They are the PAGs, frcm Table 2.6-1, and the projected l 1 doses based on present and anticipated releases. The projected doses are ccm- j pared to the ccmparable PAG doses. If neither PAG is exceeded, the decision, as noted in Box B, is that no protective action is required. If either PAG is exceeded for any municipality within the Pltme Exposure EPZ, DPHS and NHCDA must proceed to the second decision step. Block *2 - At Block #2, OPHS and NHCDA must detemine whether evacuation of the area in which PAG doe,s will be exceeded can be ccrrpleted prior to the arri-val of the Pltme. The input date for this detemination are outlined in Block C. I These variables are Time to Release, Plume Arrival Time, Delay Time, and Action b) y Vol. 1 2.6-29 Rev. 2 8/86
Time. The Action Time variablo will includ fMCOA ass:::sment of offsite con-straints to evacuation as indicated in Attactrnent C to Appendix F, Volume 4. If (^T evacuation of the area in which PAGs are exceeded can be cortpleted prior to 2 Pltma arrival, then evacuation will in all likelihood be the rectmnended protec-tive action as indicated in Block D. The final evacuation roccmnendation will be based on the degree to which the PAGs are projected to be exceeded and the ORF effectiveness of evacuation. If evacuation cannot be ccepleted prior to Plume arrival, OPHS and flHCOA must proceed to the third decision step. ( \

Vol. 1 2.5-30 Rev. 2 8/85 pJ
Block #3 - At the third decision step DPHS and (UCDA must detemine.whether i i protective action can be implernanted before the Pltrne has passed. At this point, ;
'i
. DPHS and tNCDA must consider Time to Release, Pitme Arrival, Plume Exposure Time, ' a l Delay Time and Action Time for the alternative protective actions. There are I i three possible types of conclusion for this detemination. First, it may be detemined that there is insufficient time to implErnent either protective action # for the area being considered. In this case, DPHS must advise that corrective r
; rather than protective actions (i.e., monitoring and decontanination) should be s
- taken. This case is represented in Box F. Second, DPHS and fMCDA may detwnine y that there is sufficient time to derive some protection frcrn shelter, but insuf-ficient time to implement evacuation. In this case, shelter will be advised, as shcwn in Box E (evacuation may be considered following passage of the Pltrne due to exposure frcrn ground deposition as discussed in Section 2.9.2). If both !
sheltering and evacuation begin only after arrival of the Plume, and both can be : implemented before the Plume has passed, DPHS and tNCDA must proceed to the ' fourth decision step. Block #4 - At this point in the decision process, tHCDA and DPHS begin to address the tradeoff between evacuation and shelter. It has been determined in . Block #3 that both sheltering and evacuation can begin only while the population O is exposed to the Pltrne. The question that must be addressed by tNCDA and DPHS ; is, "Which protective action provides the best protection under these ! ciretrnstances ?" Evacuees will be exposed while evacuating, but exposures will i drop to zero when they have cleared the area. Sheltering provides protection quicker, but its effectiveness decreases as Plume exposure time increases. The decision to be made in this step concerns a determination of which pathway is j most important. If only one pathway exceeds the PAG in Block #1, this decision i is automatically deterTnined. When both pathways are involved, the decision is made by ccrrparing the whole body and thyroid doses received after protective actions have been taken. This refers to comparison of the whole body shelter and whole body evacuation doses against the thyroid shelter and thyroid eva-cuation doses. If the whole body PAG exceedance is greater than the thyroid exceedance, all subsequent decisions are based on the whole body dose. If the reverse is true, subsequent decisions are based on the thyroid dose. If both are equally irrportant, subsequent decisions can be based on eithsr dose. i Vol. 1 2.6-31 Rev. 2 8.86 i
, - - -- --. . . -_ . . . ~ - - - .
h Block #5 - Parallel decisions are made at the fifth decision step. This ;
- parallel path is shwn by the pair of Blocks nuTtered Block #5. These blocks j address the same question. The decision in one is referenced to thyroid dose, and in the other to whole body dose. The question asked in this step is "Does !
shelter er evacuation provide the greatest protection?" This decision is made { by using fast and simple screening calculations that carpare the effectiveness
- of sheltering versus evacuation. If evacuation provides the best protection, P then evacuation is chosen as the protective action (Box I). The DRF for eva-cuation considers the fact'that individuals must drive through the Plume and are protected only by their automobiles until they clear the area. .The DRF for ,
sheltering considers the fact that as-the. duration of exposure increases, sheltering effectiveness decreases. The criteria used f.n this decision block are simplified to facilitate rapid analysis. The simply screening calculations- , are biased away from evacuation, thus, if evacuation is indicated, evacuetion $ should be ordered. On the other hand, if these criteria do not indicate eva-cuation, the results are inconclusive and a more detail;d carparison of the two ,
- protective actions must be undertaken at next decision utep.
Block #6 - This decision asks the same question, "Which protective action ! offers the greatest protection?" The analysis is based on more complete dato , j and detailed calculations. It provides a better evaluation of the comparative i effectiveness of shelter and evacuation. If evacuation is still indicated, it 1' will be recaTmended (Box I) . If shelter is indicated, then shelter will be i reconnended (Box H). The decision process above contains assurptions in Blocks #4, #5, and #6 that sheltering occurs in small structures such as residential dwelling units. l Sheltering may also occur in large structures such as schools, institutional ; facilities, and office buildings. Large structure sheltering can be viead as a separate protective action which requires separate evaluation. Because there { are a limited nunber of large structures in both Plune Exposure EPZs, this option is not being considered by New Hanpshire for the general population. For institutional facilities whose population may already be in large structures. sheltering may be the preferred protective action. To evaluate this case, the i large structure DRF may be substituted in the above decision process and a separate evaluation made for the institutional facilities. 2 ) Vol. 1 2.6-32 Rev. 2 8/66 ]
As mentioned above, the decision to shelter or cvccuate rrust be nude with reference to a specific location. New Hampshire will use local government boun-daries to define the reference locations. Therefore, protective actions will be {} decided and irmlcmented on a rrunicipality-by-rrunicipality basis. New Hampshire has chosen this option because irrplementation of protective actions on any oth6r basis is considered less nanageable. 2.6.8 Decision Process for Selection of Protective Actions for Ingestion Pathway Exposures The decision process for determining protective actions for Ingestion Pathway exposures is similar to, but considerably sirrpler than, the decision pro-cess for detennining protective actions against direct exposure in the plume . EPZ. Figure 2.6-7 is a flow diagran of the process used to deterTnine which of the protective actions is to be used for each of the Ingestion Pathways. The process is built around four chronological decision steps for each of three ingestion paths. The decision steps are represented by the nurrbered diamond-shaped blocks in Figure 2.6-7. Input to each step is a ccrnparison of dose to the Ingestion Pathway PAGs which are listed in Table 2.6-2. To facilitate rapid decision nuking a radioactivity level, which corre-sponds to the PAG for a particular food pathway, will be used. This level is the arount of radiation in food, water, or animal feed that would ultimately result in exceedance of the PAG if it was allowed to pass up through the food chain to the huren consumers. For exmple, if the level of Iodine-151 on a pasture exceeds the precalculated radioactivity level, the hurren dose resulting from the pasture-animal-milk pathway would exceed the PAG if preventive actions were not taken for milk. This radioactivity-level-to-PAG-dose-conversion-calculation has been described by FDA/HHS in 43 FR 58790. Precalculated levels for speci-fic pathways are contained in OPHS procedures. Total dose corrmittment from all pathways and for all nuclides taken together will be calculated in determining exceedance of preventive and errergency PAG's. The following discussion traces the four-step decision process for Ingestion Pathway exposure. The terTn "response level" refers to the precalcu-lated radioactivity levels discussed above. I Vol. 1 2.6- 33 Fov. 2 8/85 a l l
Block #1 - At. Block #1, DPHS must dstermina whether any Ingestion Pathway may be exposed to radiation. Tha d2 cision is a sinplo dstermination of whether or not there may be a radioactive release which affects areas beyond the site boundary of the power plant. Input consists of advisories from the Utility. O If the answer is no, further consideration of protective action for the Ingestion t Pathway is not required. If the answer is yes, OPHS must progress to the next decision step. l Block #2 - At Block #2, DPHS must determine whether a Preventive Action ' ] PAG may be exceeded for one or more of the tnree Ingestion Pathways taken j together. This entails using the response levels for (a) milk, (b) other foods, and (c) water to determine whether the Preventive Action PAGs, listed in Table 2.6-2, may be exceeded. If the anse r is negative, no protective action is required. If the answer is positive for the three Ingestion Pathways, the Governor will be advised to order Preventive Actions until more definitive ana- . lysis can be undertaken. Volt.me 2, Appendix 0 lists all conmercial agricultural 2 1 facilities within the 50-mile EPZ. Figure 2.6-7 lists the preventive actions ,
- in parallel for the three ingestion paths. Each involves control of the ingestible material by the appropriate State Agency followed by field testing
- to more accurately define the levels of contaninetion. For exanple, DPHS has the authority to close shellfish harvesting areas. In the event that harvesting of shellfish should not be done, because of contanination, the Director, OPHS ;
will invoke this authority by notifying the Department of Fish and Gane to restrict harvesting and to control access to harvesting areas. Collection of 2
, field samples is further described in Section 2.5.3. Upon activating Preventive
) Actions, OPHS must proceed to the third decision step. l Block #3 - At Block #3, DPHS must determine whether Emergency Action PAGs are, or nuy be, exceeded. The determination is based first on a ccTparison of dose projections to the Emergency Action PAG 1evels. If predictive techniques show potential for excradance of PAG levels of the ingestible cormodity, DPHS , will advise controi or condannation pending verification by field data. If field data confirm predicted contanination, OPHS will advise condannation cr If field data show levels below the 1 storage for suitable future use. 4 appropriate response levels, State control of the ingestible material will be l Vol. 1 2.6-34 Rev. 2 8/86 !,o . i
relinquished. In either event, OPHS will issue advisories on the nature of the controls for each ingestible rreterial and means for minimizing ingestion of radioactive materials. O i l l 2 Vol. 1 2.6- 35 Rev. 2 8/86 i
2.7 Radiological Exposure Control 2 2.7.1 Objective O h The objective of this function is to protect mergency workers by restrict-ing their exposure to radioactive materials in a manner consistent with EPA Protective Action Guidelines and to provido a means for monitoring and decon-tamination of individuals and materials. Radiological Exposure Control provides a method for minimizing exposures to individual State and local mergency work-ers by providing a system for monitoring and recording an individual energency l worker's exposura and providing a decision-making procedure for evaluating pre-f dicted or actual exposures. These guidelines are conservative and consistent with accepted radiological health procedures. 1 2.7.2 Dosimetry Three dosimeters will be used to monitor the whole body gmma exposure of emergency workers. These include two self-reading "pocket-types", a COV-138 (0-200r$) and a COV-730 (0-20R) or equivalents. The third is a thomo-ltrainescent pcmanent record dosimoter (TLD) which is used to measure the total exposure an amergency worker receives for the duration of the anorgency. Emergency workers assigned life-saving missions in accordance with DPHS Procedures Appendix L will b y be issued a COV-742. The dosimeters are stored, along with other radiological monitoring equignent, at the facilities designated in Table 2.7-1. This table also contains a samle list of the type of radiological equipment stored at each location. NHCCA will be responsible for providing and maintaining an ade-quato supply of radiological equignent at each facility. A detailed inventory of the quantities and types of radiological equignent necessary to implment this section of the plan is contained in the procedures of each facility. The IF0/ EOF will have a stockpile of radiological equignent to supplement supplies at other facilities. During an mergency, the DPHS IFO/RHTA will provide addi-tional radiological equignent from the IF0/ EOF stocxpile to facilities on an as needed basis. All ancrgency workers will be required to wear the COV-138, COV-730, and TLD at all times. The dosimeters will be distributed to each workers from a facility listed in Table 2.7-1.

Individuals reesiving Exclusion Area passes, who were not issued dosimoters previously, will be issued dosimeters at the IFO. Oosimeters will be issued to mergency workers with assignment in the Pluma Exposure Pathway EPZ at the SITE AREA EMERGENCY, with the following exceptions. Emergency workers assigned to assist with closing of teaches at ALERT, will be issued dosimeters prior to being dispatched from i. heir respective facilities. Emergency workers assigned duties subsequent to a SITE AREA EMERGENCY declara-tion will be issued dosimeters prior to beginning their duties. Individuals granted exclusion area passes will be issued dosimeters with their pass. When issued dosimeters, pen onnel will begin reading the self-reading dosi-meters at 30-minute intervala. If releases of radioactive materials are expected or have occurred, each worker will be instructed to take readings at 15-minute intervals htm the self-reading dosimeters. Emergency workers will report readings to their respective supervisor at levels specified in Section 2.7.4. Aftrr the event has been teminated, the dosimeters will be returned to the poi'" of issue. If energency workers have been ordered to evacuate the aroc, the dosimeters will be turned in to the DPHS representative at a reception
,anter. If the mergency extends for several days, the TL0s will be replaced by the vendor and actual dose recorded. After the energency is teminated, all O
TLDs w'11 be forwarded to the DPHS Radiological Exposure Clerk at the IF0/ EOF. OPHS will coordinate reading TLDs to detemine actual exposures for pemanent records. DAHS is responsible for oncrgency worker exposure records. Log Sheets will be maintained in each facility that issues dosimetry. A sample Dosimetry-KI Report Fom is shown in Fi;;ure 2.7-1. Af ter the anergency has been terminated, all Personnel Exposure Records will be forwarded to the OPHS Radiological Exposure Clerk at the IF0/ EOF and kept by DPHS as a pomanent record. 2.7.3 Thyroid and Respiratory Protection Both the self-reading dosimeters and TLDs record external whole body gerna exposure. They do not have the capacity to separately monitor IoHine-131. KI will be stored with dosimetry at the facilities listed in Table 2.7-1. O t./ Vol. 1 2.7-3 Rev. 2 8/86

Emergency Werkers p A bottle of KI will be distributed to State and local emergency workers at the time dcsirretry is issued. If the power plant has released I"131, and if projected doses are expected to exceed the upper range of the ganeral population PAG for thyroid exposure (25 run), the use of KI for amtgency workers will be considered. The Director, OPHS, has the respanoibility for ( authorizing morgency workers to begin taking KI. Appendix K to the DPHS Procedures, Volume 4, provides a corolete discussion on KI and its use. (Ref. State CPHS KI Policy Memo is included in Volume 5.) Protecting an individual from I-131 exposure by means other than KI alst protects the lungs against all other inhalable radionuclides. This is because the protective actions that limit inhalation of I-131 occur well before lung exposure from other radionuclides becorre a concern. Once an emergency worker has been protected from I-131 by VI, however, lung exposures from other inha-lable radionuclides potentially becmo inportant. If releases of these other radionuclides are projected to occur in amounts that require protection (see Section 2.7.4), local mergency workers will be rmioved from the area. DPHS ( will decide which State errergency workers will be allowed to return to con-taminaterJ areas and may require than to wear respiratory protection devices or to limit the time of their exposure. Institutionalized Individuals KI is predistributed to institutions so that it will be available, in the 2 event of a radiological emergency, to institutionalized individuals. Institutionalized individuals are individuals who are patients in hospitals, 1 residents in a nursing home licensed as such by the Division of Public Health Services, individuals who are confined in a house of correction, or who are staff mployed by the hospital, nursing home or house of correction and whose presence in the facility is unavoidable during a radiclogical morgency. The KI will be made available to be ingested by all staff and by confined i individuals only after instruction to do so by DPHS. Ingestion by hospital p patients and residents of nursing V , Vol. 1 2.7-5 Rev. 2 8/S6 i l
homes will also be only after instruction to do so by DPHS, cnd only if the individual's physician has detemined that the use of KI is appropriate for the g individual. Such detemination may be made in advance and noted in the indivi-dual's medical records. 2.7.4 Radiological Exposure Control Decision Criteria [PHS is responsible for all decisions relating to radiological exposure of State and local anergency workers. OPHS personnel located in the IF0/ EOF will be kept infomed of local emergency worker exposures via the local EOC and will be directly responsible for State workers. At pre-detemined dose levels, OPHS will either order anergency workers to leave the area or authorize increased exposures. In no case will an omrgency worker be allowed to exceed the EPA PACS established for energency workers (See Table 2.6-1) . When ALERT activity begins, energency workers assigned field duties at this time are issued three dosimeters. When SITE AREA EMERGENCY activity begins, all energency workers are issued three dosimeters and instructed to read the dosi-meters at 30-minuto intervals. The dosimeter readings will be reported to their supervisors as predetemined exposures are reached (See Table 2.7-2). If radioactive material releases are expected or have occurred, emergency workers will be instructed to begin reading dosimetens overy 15 minutes. Local EOC's and supervisors of State workers will begin to make hourly reports to the IF0/ EOF of the ntrber of OTrgency workers reaching the exposure levels defined in Table 2.7-2. There are two different exposure pathways which MJSt be Considered in radiological exposure control each of which relates to different releases fran the plant. Therefore, the next question asks what is being released from the power plant. If only noble gases have been or are being released, only whole body exposure is important and the dosimeters provide sufficient infomation to protect omrgency workers. The first reporting level is a COV-138 reading of 175 mR, which is well below the PAG for the general population whole body 1 Vol. 1 2.7-6 Rev. 2 8/8S

population whole body dose.8 This reading is inportcnt b:ccuss 1) it indicates that radiological exposure is occurring, cnd 2) the upp;r limit of the COV *38 dosinnters is being reached. At this point, enurgency wrkers will be alloved p to continue with emergency operations, but will be required to begin readirg the V COV-730 dosimeters. The COV-138'should be recharged upon return to IFO or local EOC. The next threshold occurs when readings of 1R have been recorded. At this exposure level, local EOCs and supervisors of State emergency workers will deterrnine if the werker is critical to the emergency response. An overgency worker is considered critical if the worker is perforvning a task upon wh!.ch the ability to effectively inplarent a protective action for all er a segment of the general public is dependent. Emergency workers not perferrning a critical task with a dosimeter reading greater than or equal to 1R will be ordered out of the affected area. If a replacement is available for the worker, the anergency worker will leave the affected area when relieved. For situations where the worker is critical to the response and a replacanent is not available, the local EOC or State supervisor may assign the worker a new threshold cr action level of 2, 3, 4, or SR. The actions described above will be repeated for emergency workers reaching the thresholds of 2, 3, and 4R respectively. This means that most avergency workers will not be allowed to exceed the upper limit of the EPA whole h body PAG established for the general population. The next decision occurs when readings of SR have been reached. The 5 rem dose is the upper range of the EPA general population PAG fcr whole body expo-sure. Workers with dosimeter readings of SR or greater will be reported to the Radiological Exposure Clerk at the IFO for inclusion into the Radiological Screening Program (RSP). All local energency workers who have this level of exposure will be ordered out of the affected area. Only State omrgency workers, required to perform tasks deaned critical to the response by the IFO Controller end fcr whcm no replacarent is available, will be allowed to exceed a cosineter reading of SR. The OPHS IFO Coordinatcr cust apptrve exposures to ; amrgency workers in excess of SR. If approval is given, the CPHS IF0/RHTA will ) assign the worker a ne.v report threshold of 10R. In addition, the IF0/RHTA will decide, what protective treasures, if any, will provide a dose savings to the werkcr. Energency wcrkers will be required to irrplement any additional protec- l tive treasures deemed appropriate by the IF0/RHTA. l g Fcr the purpose of Radiological Exposure Control, whole body garam dose creasured in rerrn is considered to be equivalent to whole body external exposure acasured in Roentgen (R) . Vol. 1 2.7-8 Rev. 2 8/26
Fron this point, emerg*,ncy workers ars required to r port doses ct the action levels of 10, and 15R. ThD abovo cetions for SR will be rcpeated for each report. Emergency workers will be removed from the area at each step leaving behind only those workers which NHC0A and OPHS deem to be perfonning - functions essential to protect public health and safety. At the 20R level, all overgency workers will be ordered to leave the affected area. This provides reasonable assurance that no anergency workers will be allowed to exceed the New Hampshire whole body exposure limit for omrgency workers (EPA onergency worker PAG for whole body dose) of 25 rem. Entry of affecteo areas will be allowed only by State amergency workers that have not reached this limdt, or that have had no prior exposure. The decisions to allow anergency werkers to exceed 20R whole body exposure will be made by the Directer, DPHS in acccrdance with Appendix L to the DPHS procedures. If the radiological release includes other compounds beside noble gases, then other exposure pathways become impcrtant. These exposure pathways may lead not only to whole body doses, but also to doses to the thyroid and lungs or other critical' organs. In these cases the above procedure Will be used to pro-tect against whole body doses and the following procedure will be used to pro-tect against thyroid and lung doses, (3 r
) !f I-131 has been released, all energency werkers will be required to have a thyroid gland screening check upon completion of their duties. Erergency workers with a thyroid check reading of greater than cr equal to iC0 cpm as measured by a COV-700 (window closed) will be restricted from further entry to the effected area. The EOC/RHTA will te responsible for detenmining follau up actions necessary for any worker exceeding the 100 cpm thyroid screening threshold, and ensuring the acrker is added to the Radiological Screening Program by the Radiological Exposure Clerk. If I-131 exposure is expected to exceed the upper range of the general population PAG for thyroid dose (25 rom), the Director, DPHS may authcrize the use of KI for emergency workers who remain in the affected area. This decision will be mede early enough to allow sufficient time for KI to be effectively used.

Once KI has b::n adrninistered, or if no I-131 is exp;cted to b3 rolcased, exposure frorn other inhalable particulates will be evaluated. If the projected n lung dose from inhalable radioactive particulates other than I-131 exceeds the h National Ccuncil on Radiation Protection (NCRP) allowable level of 15 ran all local trnergency worken will be crdered to leave the affected area. If the IFO Controller deterinines State emergency workers are needed to peforyn tasks criti-cal to the response effort, the Director, DPHS may authorize the DPHS IF0/RHTA to approve untries of errergency workers if protective measures such as mission planning, stay times, respirators, etc., can reduce projected lung doces to EIMrgency Workers beloW 15 rern. The OPHS IF0/RHTA will establish protective rreasures required fcr entry to the affected area and individually approve entries of EYtcrgency workers. All workers granted approval to enter the area will be added to the Radiological Screening Program. If life-saving missions are nec-essary, entry rrey only be granted in accordance with Appendix L of DPHS procedures. All workers are required to return their dosimeters to the facility frorn which they were distributed, or to the DPHS supervisor at a reception center. DPHS will analyze emergency worker exposure and send to all emergency workers who have been exposed to any arrount of radiation, a record of their exposure. s 2.7.5 Decontamination s Errorgency workers, equiprent and supplies used in the crrergency response, evacuees, evacuees' vehicles nuy becorre contaminated with radioactive par-ticulates that have been deposited from the plume. Evacuees and vehicles arriv-ing at rtception centers will be screened and monitored for contamination by host corrrrunity Errergency personnel under the supervision of the Division of Public Health Services. Errergency workers, vehicles, equipment and supplies will be monitored for contarnination and, if required, decontaminated at the host corrrrunity decontan-ination facilities established for evacuees. In addition, local EOC's within the Plame Exposure EPZ are equipped with COV-700 survey meters. Therefore, local crrergency workers may be screened for contamination at the local EOC as deerred necessary by the local Civil Defense Director. If local screening deterrnines that the level of cortamination on a person cr on surfaces of equipment, supplies and vehicles exceeds 100 cpn above background, referral will be rrede to a host carmunity decontamination facilities according to state and local radiological exposure control procedures. g Vol. 1 2.7-10 Rev. 2 8/c6
State field monitoring team personnal, who tre deployod from tha IF0/ EOF, will be monitored for contanination and d:contaninattd at the IF0/ EOF und:r the supervision of DDH3. Monitoring and decontamination of their equipment, supplies, n and vehicles will also be done at the IF0/ EOF. ('") Monitoring and decontanination of evacuees and crnergency workers will be acccrplished according to Appendix B of host ccrmanity plans and Appendix F of Volume 4A, OPHS Procedures. Means of Decontamination Occontanination procedures will bo inplcrnented by host ccrmunity nrgency personnel under the supervision of the Division of Public Health Services. Occontanination of evacuees and trcrgency workers will be acccrnplished according to established crocedures by three prinury methods: (1) local decontaninations (2) general decontamination: and (3) a cortination of local and general decontamination. If internal contcrnination is indicated or if decontamination is ineffectivo (a third monitoring shcwing 100 cpm above background), the OPH$ Supervisor a; the decontamir,ation facility will seek direction for further decontamination efforts from the Director, OPHS at the State EOC through the EOC Radiological Health Technical Advisor. Guidance frcrn the EOC will be based on a range of factors such as level of con-tanination, the ntrnber of people affected, and the physical and pyschological condition of persons affected. Options for further actions rey include more intensive decontanination at the decontamination facility, assigrment to a follow-up monitoring program, referral to a medical treatment facility, or a decision that no further actions are required. Any wounds that are found to be contaminated will result in referral to a rncaical treatment facility (see Section 2.8). The Radiological Screening Program (RSP) (see Section 2.7.6) will be used to track all individuals requiring scrne type of follow-up action. Vol. 1 2.7-11 Rev. 2 8/86 ,m .v

2.7.6 Radiological Screening Program l The Radiological Screening Progran (RSP) is a tracking system used by DPHS j to assist with the management of the State's radiological exoosure control pro-
- gram. It provides the infortnation necessary for OPHS tos assign priorities for j nedical referrals, manage patient loading at rredical facilities and ensure follow-uo actions (bioassays, further decontanination, etc.), required for f individuals are perfanned.
I i The Radiological Exposure Cled maintains the RSP log under the supervision of the IF0/RHTA. The IF0/RHTA and the EOC/RHTA are responsible for indentifying individuals who should be tracked by the RSP. Generally, individuals with a i measured whole body exposure of SR or greater, internal or external contanina- l l tion are entered into the program. !

These services l j include emergency nedical transportation for injured persons and hospital I l treatment for those persons as well as radiologically contaminated 5 individuals. i i I 2.8.2 Onsite Procedures No onsite emergency medical service is provided by the State. l l The Pluma Exposure EPZ of the Yankee Plant in Rowe, Massachusetts does not inpact the State of New Hanpshire. Both SS and VY have made separate arrange- ;
- ments for errergency medical services for onsite accidents and radiological exposure. These utility plans are specified in Sections 8.4.1 and 10.5 of
- the utilities' respective FSARs. Briefly, these plans are as follcws.
i ! ] Seabrook Station l i SS has msde arrangements with Seabrook Fire Assistance to provide j for the medical treatment and transport of contaminated, injured individuals. l

2.8.3 Arrbulanca S rvices Resources and Capabilities V Errergency rredical transportation is provided by arr6ulance services operated by local goverrvrent er private organizations. Services within the jurisdiction of local dispatch centers are coordinated by the dispatch centers. During an amergency response, services outside the local dispatch service area will be acquired. Volume 2, Appendix J lists the services available in the State of Nea Harrpshire and all out-of-state arrbulance services licenced in New Hartpshire. Non enurgency medical transportation (i.e., evacuation) of mobility-irrpaired persons from within the EPZ will be coordinated with local rrunicipal-ities under the control of the State EOC. krbulance providers from outside the EPZ Will perfortn this function. EMS services from within the EPZ will rreintain errergency medical transportation under the control of the established EMS h Dispatch Center. 2 Each ambulance operatcr and attendant in New Harrpshire is required to cor'plete an approved emergency medical care course. Material on the care and handling of radiation accident patients is included in the classroom instruc-tion. In addition, RERP-specific training is provided to the services in accordance with Section 3.2 of this plan. 2 In addition to these services, the New Har pshire National Guard has ) e~ergency medical vehicles that trey be used during an avergency response if the ! services listed in Appendix J are insufficient er not available in a tirrely rrenner. Other vehicles rrey be used if they are closer, or if other arrtulance services are engaged in rmdical ermrgencies elscwhere in the State. l Vol. 1 2.8-2 Rev. 2 8/86
\
Action Plan All errergency rnedical calls from local governrrents in the VY EPZ are (j dispatched by SWFMA. A central dispatching service for the Seabrook area is provided by Rockingharn County Dispatch. Ensure anbulance crews are issued dosi-troters (COV-138, CDV-730, and a TLD) at the respective staging area. If the arnbulance service that norrrelly serves an area is not available, the local disratch center contacts the next closest arrbulance. Thus, the local dispatch center coordinates all rrobile rnedical units within the EPZ and frtyn nearby raanicipalities . If during an ernergency at VY or SS arbulances are needed frorn outside the local service e"ca, the EMS Coordinator, in coordination with the NHC0A Resources Coordinatcr, at the EOC will obtain required service. EMS will 2 act as follows.
- 1. Keep abreast of the artbulance utilization status and anticipato need for additional arbulances.
- 2. Under the supervision of the NHCDA Resources Cocrdinator, arrange for services frcm outside the local (j service area to corro to the staging area. Staging areas 2 are located at Chesire County Hospital for Verrtont Yankee and in the parking area adjacent to the Rockingharn County Dispatch for Seabrook Station.
Non-Radiological Errergency Medical Services The above action plans also pertain to non radiological r'edical e~ergen-cies. In addition, CPHS provides rnedical referral services in the Reception Centers and EMS coordinates the use of artulances to evacuate non-artulatory individuals requiring arbulance assistance frorn the EPZ. These last two func-tions are described in Section 1.3 of this RERP. Vol. 1 2.8-3 Rev. 2 8/86 Q(/
l 2 i j -2.8.4 Radiological Exposure Hospital Trectment Facilities ! i 2 2 Individuals exposed to radiation ney require rredical treatrrent. There are l several facilities in New Hacpshire capable of providing radiologicel treatment. i These facilities are listed in Table 2.8-1. The Cheshire Hospital in Keene, Mi < l is the prirnary facility for the VY EPZ. Exeter Hospital and Pease AFB Hospital j j are the prirrecy facilities for the Seabrook Station EPZ. In addition, Brigham e ! j and Worren's Hospital in Boston, Massachus etts which has a separate agreement l with the utility, serves as a regional treatment center for patients that j have been severoly overexposed to radiation. (Letters from these facilities ? 4 describing their emergency capabilities cre contained in Volume 2, Appendix H f
- of this RERP.) Referral of an individual to a hospital for treatment is made i at the discretion of the Director, OPHS.
2 The Joint Conmission on Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAH) requires that ; emergency patient care be guided by written policies and procedures. Among the j i i j required written policies ard procedures is one concerning the errergency trenage- ; rrent of individuals who have actual or St.Spected exposure to radiation.

. listed belows however, monsiderations should'not be limited to:
o coordinating. area radiological surverys, evaluating data and identi-fying arees to be re-entereds o mobilizing necessary resoure.es, manpower and equipments ('] o determining transportetion and traffic control requirarents: k/ o deterrnining additional conmunication needs: o determining from local rrtJnicipality officials whether all utilities are functioning, food and water supplies are adequate, and that the evacuation effects on public health and sanitatitn are mitigated; o determining the need for public announcerrents and EBS messages: o notification of the public at the Reception Centers specifying area to be re-entereds o detennining the need for Federal assistances o determining security needs including police and fire protections o determining the availability and need of additional rredical services and o coordinating with the Comronwealth of Massachusett's. Positions established during emergency response will initially rerrein active during Pe recovery phase. As the recovery phase progresses, the Governce may allow selected positions of the avergency response organization to retur7 to their non-arergency mode of operation. 2 f3 Rev. 2 8/86 Q Vol. 1 2.9-1
2.9.2 Recovery frorn Protective Actions Radioactive particles may be deposited on an area which has been passed by the plume. However, the amount of this deposited material in the environment will decrease with time due to factors such as radioactive decay and weathering. The principal exposure pathways to the general public occupying the contaminated areas are whole body exposure to ganma radiation from the deposited radioactive treterial (groundshine) and internal exposure resulting from the inhalation of resuspended materials or the ingestion of contaninated food and water. Ground-shine is expected to provide the largest contribution to the whole body dose. As a terrporary framework for recovery efforts, during which time long-term re-covery goals are being fonmlated, areas in which protective actions have been artered will be considered suitable for normal activity when the dose conmit-ments to residents are less than the levels established in Section I of Appendix T to the New Hampshire OPHS Emergency Response Procedures. The criteria used as the basis for this tenporary framework have been derived frorn the EPA Relocation PAGs (6/86 draft document). The goal for long-term recovery efforts will ensure that the dose corrmitments to the general public are less than the non-occupational whole body exposure limits established in the New Harrpshire Rules for Control of Radiation (see Section II of Appendix T to the New Hampshire OPHS Emergency 9esponse Procedures), giving priority to those facilities (i.e., O health care facilities, schools, state buildings, etc.) which provide services to the general public. OPHS will conduct radiological survey /sarpling in affected areas in order to determine if those guidelines are being exceeded. Survey /sartpling will be in accordance with accident assessment procedures set fo"th in Section 2.5 of this RERP. OPHS will. in conjunction with the NHCOA, interpret the data and reconmend actions to the Governor. The New Hanpshire Emergency Response Organization will be responsible for coordinating and inple-rrenting recovery and re-entry activities. Recovery from Evacuation /Sheltaring Individuals who were evacuated or sheltered as a precautionary measure will be instructed to resume normal activity if the emergency conditions at the plant have stabilized without a release of radioactive material to the environ-rrent and the threat of one occurring no longer exists. Under errergency conditions which result in a release of radioactive traterial to the environment, and prior to declaring a return to normsl activity 2 Vol. 1 2.9-2 Rev. 2 8/86
in an area in which evacuation or sheltering has been ordered, DPHS monitoring tearra will conduct the ~ following post plume radiological surveys: o ganma radiation measurements o beta /genina radiation measurements o airborne contanination measurements All radiological surveys will be conducted in accordance with the DPHS Field Monitoring Procedures set forth in Appendix C to the New Harrpshire DPHS Emergency Response Procedures, Volume 4. In addition, the DPHS monitoring tears will collect special environmental ssTples which allow assessment of the ingestion pathway. These ingestion zone sanples may include the following: o fruit end vegetable sanples o meat and meat product sanples o egg sanples o soil and vegetation sanples o milk sartples , o drinking water ssTples , o surface water ssTples The food and environmental sartples will be collected in accordance to the OPHS Special Environmental Sampling Procedures set forth in Appendix C to , the a Herrpshire OPHS Emergency Response Procedures, Volume 4 Sample analyses shall be performed at the New Harrpshire DPHS Laboratories in accordance with DPHS standard laboratory procedures. Additional laboratory facilities will be rrede available as required by circurrstances as set forth in Appendix M to the New Hampshire OPHS Emergency Response Procedures. The data from the post plurre radiological surveys and environmental sartple analyses will be evaluated against ) the criteria which have been established for short-term recovery efforts in Appendix T to the New Hampshire DPHS Emergency Response Procedures, Volume 4. l Long-term recovery plans will use these data to detennine the action necessary to take in order to reach the non-occupational whole body exposure limits defined by the New Hanpshire Rules for Control of Radiation. The specific decision-making logic for the evaluation of post plurre data is given in Appendix T to the New Hartpshire OPHS Emergency Response Procedures, Volurre 4 2 Vol. 1 2.9-3 Rev. 2 8/86
Recovery frorn Food and Water Control Restrictions on food and water will be lifted when DPHS has determined that levels of radioactive material found in food and water supplies have decreased r
.i below the PAGs for preventive actions established by the FDA. (See Appendix T to the New Hampshire DPHS Emergency Response Procedure, Volume 4.) NHCDA will give priority to restricting use until the levals of radiation msociated with the nuclear power plant emergency have fallen below the preventive PAG levels.
Individuals recovering from sheltering or evacuation will be asked not to eat foods fra'n their gardens until they have been thoroughly washed (seasonal) if radiological surveys indicate particulate contamination. 2 Decontamination Surfaces contaminated by radioactive nuterial will be decontaninated in accordance with the procedures established by OPHS. If the need for decon-tanination is indicated by monitoring data, it will most likely involve washing equipment surfaces, vehicles, and paved areas. The means for decontaminating surfaces are contained in the DPHS procedures. OPHS is responsible for pro-viding appropriate instructions for decontamination activities. State and local ; errergency workers will assist in determining what areas require decontamination. O V 2.9.3 Total Population Exposure Estinutes The population distribution charts contained in Volume 2, Appendix E of this RERP. together with DPHS monitoring results and dispersion calculations will.be the basis for OPHS to estinate the total population exposure. The monitoring results will provide an estimate of radioactivity levels in each ; sector. This infornation will be supplemented by the results of dispersion modeling and a record of the actual releases and meteorology. Population expo- > sure estirretes will be on a whole body casis and will take into account weightings of specific organ doses, if deemed appropriate by accident assessrrent . All signflicant pathways wil be considered: Plume direct game, plume inhalation, deposition dimet genma, and deposition resuspension inhala-i tion or ingestion. Finally, a record of sheltering and evacuation activity j 2 will provide a basis for estimating DRF and the proportion of the population that left the area prior to exposure. The total population exposure estimates will be corrpiled at least daily during a GENERAL EMERGENCY, and more frequently if exposures approach PAG 1evels. ; , O- Vol. 1 2.9-4 Rev. 2 8/86 _ . , , _ _ , - . .m , ,. . ____..,m.,. . _ , . . _ , . y .- . _ , . _ .;,. ..__.c._..,, .

3.1 EXERCISES AND DRILLS O 3.1.1 Purpose Periodic drills are conducted to develop and naintain the key emergency response skills. Exercises are conducted to evaluate nujor portions of the State's-Emergency Response Organization. Together exercises and drills provide both emergency response training and a means for identifying and correcting deficiencies in emergency preparedness. 3.1.2 Connunication Drills The emergency corrmunications systens to be used by the New Hanpshire Emergency Response Organization are described in detai't in Section 2.2 of this RERP. That section describes ten cormunications links (i.e., links A through J). The schedule of drills to test that system are oatlined in Table 3.1-1. Most of the equipment used for emergency ConmJniCation is used on a daily ' basis. Therefore, the scheduled drills are more useful for testing the users and their procedures than the equipment. Only the nuclear alert systan (NAS) is specific to energency planning for the nuclear power plants. Orills generally conmence with the initial call from the utility. NHCOA ] will advise both State Police and DPHS when drills should include testing ccm-ntnications with the other agencies and organizations that nuke up the State's Emergency Response Organization (i.e., NHCOA will instruct State Police to call the local dispatch and DPHS to call the Utility during quarterly drills). Following a conmunications drill the NHC0A Carmunications Officer will debrief the participants and determine whether conmunications equignent and notification r procedures functioned properly. As necessary, tNC0A will direct remedial acti-vity. 3.1.3 Medical Emergency Drills Each Utility has nude its own arrangements for handling onsite nudical emergencies. These arrangements are described in the licensee emergency plans. CFfsite emergency response is coordinated by New Harrpshire EMS, as described in Section 2.8 of this RERP. Drills of offsite medical emergency capability are held annually. This drill may be part of the required bi-annual exercise, or a separate activity. O Vol. 1 3.1-1 Rev. 2 8/86 l

3.1.4 Radiological Monitoring and Health Physics Drills Contined radiological monitoring and health physics drills for DPHS staff will be held at least semi-annually. One of the drills will be held in conjunc-tion with the exercises at SS and VY. Each drill will include mobilization of the monitoring tearms dispatch of monitoring teams (at one of the two drills, field tearrs will be dispatched to the appropriate EPZ), collection of field sarples, conmunication between field tearts and the errergency facilities, and recortkeeping. The drills will include laboratory analysis of the field sanples with simulated high radioactive activities, and use of the resultant data in accident assessment functions. The reception / decontamination center drills will be held in conjunction with exercises at SS and VY. These drills will include activation of the " facility, monitoring and decontamination of personnel, conmunications within the facility, es well as with the State EOC, and recordkeeping. 3.1.5 Exercises The joint exercises for both SS and VY will be a test of the New Harpshire Emergency Response Organization's integrated capabilities. The local personnel will participate in joint exercines every two years. The State per-sonnel will fully participate in the exercises at either SS or VY on an annually rotational basis with each plant exercised every two years. When not fully participating in an exercise, the State will participate partially to support the full participation of the local response personnel. Once every six years the State will exercise the ingestion exposure pathway response plans in con-junction with an exercise. When either Vermont or Massachusetts schedules ingestion exposure pathway exercises, the State will partially participate. For each exercise, the NHCDA will prepare an offsite exercise scenario to be followed in the New Hanpshire portion of the EPZ. The exercise scenario will be prepared to parallel the scenario conpiled by the Utility for its onsite activity. The scenario will be varied from exercise to exercise in order to test all the major elerrents of the plans and preparedness of the State and Local Errergency Response Organization within a six year period. During this time frame, exercises will be scheduled at different seasons of the year to allow for exercising under various weather conditions. To ccrrplete the full range of exer-O Vol.1 3.1-3 Rev. 2 8/86
cise conditions, every six years one exercise will begin at night, between 6:00 - p.m. and 4:00 am, and one will be unannounced. Exercise scenarios, will include, but will not be limited to, the following information. Basic Objectives These will be explained in terTrs of the emergency response functions to be exercised. At the full exercise, the State will test all nine of the emergency response functions described in Part 2.0 of the.RERP. In a limited exercise, the State will, at a mininum, test notification methods and accident assessment capabilities, with other functions tested as deemed necessary by NHCDA. Dates, Time Period, Places and Participating Organizations-The date and tirre period deteribed in the scenario will coincide with the scheduling agreed upon with the :Jtility, with other states in the EPZ, and with NRC and FEMA. PHCDA will describe each emergency facility and the organizations that will participate in the exercise. The full exercise will include-each agency in the New Hanpshire Emergency Response Organization including the appropriate local Emergency Response Organizations as listed in Section 1.2, and each eTergency facility associated with the plant at which the accident is sinulated. In the limited exercise, a smaller portion of the Emergency Response Organization may be involved. At a minirrum, however, fMCOA, OPHS and State Police Conmunication Center will participate in any limited exercise. Schedule of Real and Simulated Events L The schedule of events in the offsite scenario will be built around the initiating events at the power plant. These will include escalation through the Emergency Classification Levels. In addition, NHCOA will 2 add sufficient offsite events to meet the objectives of the exercise. Narrative Sunmary The scenarios will include narrative surrmaries describing the conduct of the exercise. The surrrnary will include the schedule of real and simulated O b Vol. 1 3.1-4 Rev. 2 8/86 , l i
events, schedule of anticipated responses, and depth to which activities will be
-exercised or simulated. The narrative sunnary will enable observers and eva-() luators to trace the course of the exercise and to be prepared to observe the emergency response activities at critical milestones during the exercise.
Arrangernents for Observers Official observers fran Federal and State agencies will observe, evaluate, and critique the required exercises. fHCOA will work with FEMA to schedule the placanent of observers during drills and exercises. Observers will be provided with advance copy of the scenario and of the plans and procedures to be tested. ,. Observers will be briefed as to the schedule of events and evaluation criteria for each observer location. Observers will be provided with evaluation sheets and guidelines applicable to their locations. A critique will be conducted at the conclusion of each exercise to.eva-luate the perfonnance of the State and local snergency personnel. The critique will be conducted es soon as practicable after the exercise. This critique will ' be followed by a fornel evaluation of the response capability of each agency in the Energency Response Organization. In nest cases, FEMA will conduct the cri-tique and supply a written evaluation. As necessary, the critiquing and eva-Os luation efforts not sponsored by FEMA will be provided by NHCDA. Evaluating Observer Cornnents NHCDA will review all observer / evaluator connents on exercises and drills. These connents will be brought to the attention of the appropriate members of the New Hampshire Emergency Response Organization as well. Where deficiencies are cited, NHCDA will respond to the cannents stating its concurrence or disagrestent with the validity of the deficiency. A schedule for undertaking remedial actions for confirned deficiencies will be prepared by NHCDA within one month of receiving and reviewing evaluator cannents. The schedule will be pro-vided to FEMA and to the members of tne Emergency Response Organization that are charged with the responsibility for undertaking corrective actions. All correc-tive actions will be implemented prior to the subsequent nejar exercise. Th 2 remedial actions may include RERP revisions, irrplementing procedure revisions, upgrading of facilities or equipnent, and additional training and drills. Remedial actions will be scheduled with priority given to the most serious deficiencies. t Vol. 1 3.1-5 Rev. 2 8/86 t- m , w,-p. p -g c- ---.q--w..----wy - -

3.2 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINING 3.2.1 Purpose The purpose of this section is to describe the regularly scheduled training that will be provided to the merrbers of the New Harrpshire Emergency Response Organization. 3.2.2 Training Provided by the State Training will be provided to all organizations that contrise the New Hanpshire Emergency Response Organization. The training will be provided at least annually, and more frequently if significant RERP changes are implemented, or if deficiencies in emergency response capability are discovered. NHCDA will maintain a course outline for the training prograrrs. The Training Matrix, shown as Table 3.2.1, surmurizes the concepts presented to each audience. A. description of each of these concepts folloas: BASIC EMERGENCY PLANNING CONCEPTS This section reviews the State and Local Emergency Response Organization, highlighting the responsibilities of those agencies in the audience, and other key agencies such as NHCOA, OPHS, State Police, FEMA, and the NRC. The purpose of the RERP and its regulatory basis is explained. Some of the terrre used in the RERP, such as the Emergency Planning Zones and the Ermrgency Classification Levels are described. NOTIFICATION The discussion details the sequences by which the response organization and the general public are notified of an stergency. Notification of the response crganization identifies the links in the notification chain, the 24-hour capabi-lity, and the primary and back-up means of cormunicating. A section on public - notification includes an explanation of special facility notification, the Alert / Notification Systen, Tone Alert Radios, EBS Announcomnts, and the Emergency Public Information Materials. PROTECTIVE ACTIOfS t This segrrent explains the purpose and irrplementation of protective actions. , The definition of Protective Actions precedes a brief overview of the decision l making process on which a Protective Action Recorrrnendation is based and the Protective Action options available (Access Control, Sheltering, Evacuation, and Food, Water, Milk and Livestock Feed Control). The parallel actions and con-cepts associated with irrplarentation of actions are also described. Particular attention is given to evacuation concepts, such as traffic control, access O control, transportation resources, and the reception centers and mass care center services. The decision rreking involved in entering the recovery- stage is discussed, as well as factors to be considered in a re-entry. Vol. 1 3.2-1 Rev. 2 8/86

Accident Assessnunt Training O(3 At least once per year OPHS will conduct accident assessment training for the staff and volunteers that it will use for dose calculation and projection work. OPHS staff that will be used for assigrments in the State EOC, at the IF0/ EOF duty stations will be included in the accident assessment training. The training will cover the decision processes outlined in Section 2.5, and the pre-dictive techniques contained in the OPHS Standing Operating Procedures. Accident assessment training provided by OPHS will be supplemented by training provided by the SS and VY plant operators. As schedules permit, OPHS staff and volunteers will attend onsite training sessions at the plant sites. Radiological Monitoring & Analysis Training Once per year OPHS will conduct training for its monitoring and analysis teann . This training will include familiarization and use of the instrumen-tation availatle in each of the field monitoring kits. In addition the training will include familiarization with procedures for rrobilization and dispatching field teans, locations of monitoring sites in each EPZ, and procedures for ccm-ra;nicating and dispatching field samles. The Utilities will include DPHS staff (v) and volunteers in training being provided to the Utility monitoring tearm as necessary. This training will be used to supplement the training provided by 2 DPHS. The training will be scheduled to precede the periodic drills and exer-cises. This will provide a means of verifying the adequacy of the training. Police, Security and Fire Fighting State responsibility in this area is limited to access control functions. Once per year NHCOA will instruct State Police, National Guard and Department of Transportation personnel on access control functions. The instnJction will 2 include EPZ locations and boundaries, locations of access control pt.ints, and procedures for manning access control points. In addition, those that trey be called upon to respond to requests for police and security support within an EPZ will be given basic radiological exposure control instruction. No state agency is responsible for providing onsite police, security, EMS, 2 or fire fighting support. These functions will be provided by Utility person-nel, contractors and by local emergency workers in the Town of Seabrook where ( the Town and the Utility have support agrearents. Training of these people will be handled by the Utility directly. Vol. 1 3.2-5 Rev. 2 8/86 1
Medical Support and Rescue EMS will coordinate training for errergency workers with medical support and rescue responsibilities. To suppcrt nutual aid agrements, the training will be provided to the entire EMS region in which the EPZ cormunities' are located. The training will include an overview of the RERP, emergency classifi-cations, notification, and protective actions with an emphasis on evacuation concepts. The EMS instruction will also include basic radiological exposure control for mergency workers. 2 Supoort Services f1HCOA will provide instruction for the support service agencies annually. This set of instructions will deal with managment of Reception Center facili-ties. Material will include descriptions of the EPZs, locations of Reception -l 2 Centers, and the support service functions at these Facilities. The instruc-tions will be rnade available to the Division of Human Services, Red Cross, and l2 , to local volunteers that support anergency response activities. l flotification and Carmunications i i f1HCOA will provide annual instruction to those personnel that have key roles in notification and mergency carmunication. These people include the { supervisors and dispatchers at the State Police Ccrmunications Center, SWFMA, ! and Rockingharn County Dispatch Center, and local dispatch centers, and repre- 2 l sentatives of EBS station of each EPZ. Instruction will inclade discussion of notification procedures and messages, emergency cormunication equignent and facilities, and emergency public inforTnation. Instruction will also cover l2 { descriptions of EPZ locations, Energency Classification Levels and an overview ' j of the RERP. Any agencies and individuals with responsibility for activation of ; the Alert /flotification Systern will receive training on the procedures for use of , the systen. The training will be evaluated based upon the perforTnance of the agencies responsible for cormunications during subsequent ccrmunications drills. 2 i Transacrtation ! l tlHCOA will provide annual instruction to the personnel who staff the transportation staging areas and to the drivers of bus and mbulance transpor-tation resources designated for use during an evacuation. The training will a Vol. 1 3.2-6 Rev. 2 8/86
include an overview of the RERP and snergency response organization, notifica-tion, snergency classification levels, protective actions, location of staging areas, basic radiation concepts, and radiological exposure control, including O the use of desincters. 2 Decontanination Center Personnel NHCDA and OPHS will coordinate the annual training for energency workers responsible for radiological monitoring and decontanination of personnel at the Reception Center. The program will consist of two phases. The first phase, a lecture and slide presentation, will include an overview of snergency planning concepts, such as the response organization, snergency planning zones, snergency classifications, energency -facilities, notification, and protective response. Basic radiation concepts, radiological exposure control, and use of dosimetry will also be covered.

6.0 PURPOSE OF PART 6.0 (~8 \s') + The State of New Hanpshire Radiological Energency Responso Plan (RERP) is suppcrted by local Radiological Emergency Response Plans. Each municipality within the Plurre Exposure EPZs for VY and SS is responsible for cortpiling and rreintaining its own RERP. Likewise the municipalities that serve as host corn-nunities in the event of an evacuation are responsible for conpiling and nuin-taining an RERP. The lists that follow are indices to the local plans. Thay enurmrate the supporting plans for each of the two Plume Exposure EPZs. These plans are available through each local Civil Defense Director. "he local plans are also on file at the State EOC in Concord and in the appropriate 2 IF0/ EOF locations. These plans are consistent with the NH RERP and are included, by reference, as part of the State's RERP. (^s Vol. 1 6.0-1 Rev. 2 8/86 l

Dear Employer:
I would like to ask for your help in reaching your employees with important emergency infomation. An emergency plan has been developed for everyone who lives in, works in, or visits this comunity. This plan would be used to protect the public in tne unlikely event of an accident at Seabrook Station. This plan could also be used in response to other emergencies, such as floods, fires, hurricanes, or toxic chemical spills. Similar plans have been used by other comunities in response to emergencias such as these. Each person who lives in this comunity will receive in the mail a 1987 1 calendar containing emergency plan infomation. However, many employees are ! likely to live beyond the local area. In addition, since the information is so important, it is a good idea to reinforce the message from several : different sources, l 1 Enclosed with this letter are materials which explain how the emergency l 2 plan works. The materials, including a poster and flyer, describe what individuals should do to protect themselves and their families. Please read these materials carefully, and then use the enclosed reply card to order additional copies. The materials are also available in a French or French /English version. 1 Federal emergency planning ' guidelines require that such materials be displayed in prominent view. Here are some specific ways you might use these material s. You can, of course, adapt these suggestions to your own . I Circumstdnces.
- 1. Self-sticking labels -- for attaching to employee lockers, time clocks, rest room mirrors, etc. They can also be distributed along with paychecks to empl oyees.
- 2. Posters -- for posting in lobbies, lounges, halls, lunch rooms, offices, and on employee bulletin boards.
- 3. Flyers and bus route maps -- for distributing to employees. A supply can also be kept on hand for customers or visitors.

However, many employees, as well as guests, are likely to live beyond the local area. In addition, since the information is so important, it is a good idea to reinforce the message from several different sources. Enclosed with this letter are materials which explain how the emergency plan works. The materials, including a poster and flyer, describe what individuals should do to protect themselves and their families. Please read these materials carefully, arid then use the enclosed reply card to order additional copies. The materials are also available in a French or French /English version. Federal emergency planning guidelines require that such materials be displayed in prominent view. Here are some specific ways you might use these material s. You can, of course, adapt there suggestions to your own circumstances.
- 1. Self-sticking labels - for attaching to employee lockers and time clocks, rest room mirrors, telephones, etc. They can also be posted with other emergency information in guestrooms and distributed along with pay, hecks to employees.
- 2. Posters -- for posting in lobbies, lounges, halls, lunch rooms, offices, and on employee bulletin boards.

- 3. Flyers and bus route maps -- can be left in motel rooms along with stationery and tourist literature. They can also be made available at a motel registration or restaurant cashier's desk. They can be distributed to employees.
Thank you for your assistance in comunicating this emergency plan information. If you have any questions, please do not besitate to call the New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency at 1(200) 852-3792. We will be happy to help your emergency planning efforts in any way that we can. Sincerely, Richard H. Strome, Director New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency l l 1 \ l l l \ l l I 1421A J I
