When Will An Emergency Affect You?
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency have studied this question. They have found that most likely you will not have to do anything.
However, if you live or work as close as 10 miles from Plant Vogtle, you will need to be prepared in case there is an emergency.
You may or may not be affected if your home or the place you work is in one of the zones on the map inside this booklet. An accident could affect some parts of the map and not others. That will depend on where the wind is coming from, how strong it is, and on how bad the accident is. To help you know if you will have to take some action or not, the map has 11 zones marked on it. It also has 4 boat l andings marked on the Savannah River. The distances of the zones and boat landings from Plant Vogtle are shown here.
Zones on Boat Landings Distance from the Map on the River Plant Vogtle A R-2 About 0 to 2 miles B-5 C-5 D-5 R-3 About 2 to 5 miles E-5 F-5 B-10 C-10 D-10 R-1 About 5 to 10 miles E-10 F-10 R-4 Radio and TV stations will broadcast during an emergency to tell you which zones and boat landings may be affected. Unfold this booklet now and pick out the zone where you live or work. Put that letter and number in the box on the front of the booklet to make it easy to find later if you need it. Also write the letter and number in the blank with the number 1 in the Summary section. Then come back to this page and read on.

What Ar e The Actions You Might Need To Take?
You need to be prepared if a serious accident happens at Plant Vogtle. A large dose of radiation is harmful to your heal th and might threaten your life. The two actions you might be asked to take to protect yourself are called Take Shelter and Evacuate. They are described in the next two sections. Be sure you are clear about them.
If you have neighbors who are hard of hearing or who do not see or read well, please help them. Be sure they know what they might need to do in an emergency. Fill out the Special Needs Card that came with this booklet and mail it for them if they cannot do this themselves. Use this card also if you, or if someone you know, needs a wheelchair, a ride, or special help of some other kind in an emergency.
l l
1 i
What If You Ar e Told To TAKE SHELTER?
This means to protect yourself by going inside a building and keeping out as mach outside air as you can.
The building could be your house, the place you work, or some other nearby building. Taking shelter is a good thing to do if there is a small amount of radiation in the air.
Do NOT try to meet your chlidren who are in school during an emergency. Children-at Girard Elementary School will take shelter at their school. The other schools are far enough from Plant Vogtle so that children will not need to take shelter during an emergency at the Plant. All school children will be cared for as long as there is a need for you to take shelter. You can meet with them as you do on other days when the emergency is over.
Follow these steps to protect yourself if there is a need to take shelter.
o Go inside a nearby building if you are outside. Stay inside until the radio or TV says you can leave safely.
o Close all windows and doors to the outside.
o Turn off all fans, air conditioners, heaters, and furnace.
o Put out fires in fireplaces or stoves. Close the flues to keep out the outside air.
o Shelter your livestock if you can do that easily and place them on stored feed. Keep your pets inside.
o Put a damp and f ol ded handkerch i ef or towel over your nose and mouth if you must go outside. Stay out as short a time as you can.
o Stay tuned to one of these stations as long as the emergency lasts.
-- Radio WBRO-AM 1310 Waynesboro
-- Radio WWGA-FM 100.9 Waynesboro
-- TV Channels 6, 12, and 26 Augusta
What If You A r- e Told To EUA C UAT E'P This means that you and all family members who are with you should move to a place more than 5 miles outside the emergency area. Go first to the Reception Center, which is Burke County Comprehensive High School on Perimeter Road in Waynesboro. Sign in when you get there. That will make it possible to keep track of all persons during an emergency.
Do NOT try to meet your children who are in school during an emergency. Teachers and other adults will move the children from Girard Elementary School to the Reception Center at Burke County Comprehensive High School if they need to evacuate. The other school s are far enough from Plant Vogtle so that the children will not need to evacuate.
All school children will be cared for until you are able to meet them. Do NOT try to meet your school children until you have signed in at the Reception Center. You will be told how to meet them at that time.
Plans have been made to give you housing if you need it. You may also need to be checked for radiation, which can be done at the Reception Center. The Center is shown on the map inside this booklet. Unf ol d the booklet and follow the steps to find the Center and how to get there. You can also find out what to take with you as you go.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE TOLD TO EVACUATE The map and the chart on this page show you how to move out of your zone if you are told to evacuate. Steps are also given to help you get ready for the trip.
F o l l ow These Steps To Be Prepared For An Emergency
- 1. Keep your important papers together. That way you can gather them quickly when you need them.
- 2. Keep together other things you might use on a trip.
Examples are a flashlight, a tool kit, and a portable radio.
- 3. Keep enough gas in your car for a short drive.
- 4. Fill out and mail the Special Needs Card NOW if you have not already done so. Use it if you or someone you know woul d need spec i al help at the time of an emergency. Workers would then be sent during an emergency to help you or anyone who has special needs at that time.
- 5. Keep your NOAA weather radio in your bedroom. Be sure it is PLUGGED IN with the power switch ON.
Read through the booklet called " Questions and Answers About Your NOAA Weather Radio" if you have not already done so.
- 6. Keep feed on hand for a week if you own Ilvestock.
If you have a livestock shelter, keep it in good shape. Be prepared to be away for several days.
Fo11ow These Steps For Using The Map And The Chart
- 1. Find the zone on the map where you live or work.
Look on the map to get the letter and number of that zone. Be sure to put that letter and number in the box on the front of the booklet if you have not already done so. Also be sure to put it in the blank with the number 1 in the Summary section.
- 2. Find that same letter and number in the column on the chart headed " Zone." To help you, the color will be the same as the color of your zone on the map. Circle the letter and number of your zone on the chart.
- 3. Find the evacuation route for your zone. Look across the chart to the next column headed
" Evacuation Routes." This column tells you the number of the route to take to the Reception Center.
There are four routes to the Center, which is Burke County Comprehensive Hi gh School , on Perimeter Road in Waynesboro. Each numbered route is described below. If more than one route number is listed in the second column for your zone, choose the one that is easiest for you to f ol l ow, o Evacuation Route 1. West on Georgia 80 to Georgia 56. South on Georgia 56 to Perimeter Road. South on Perimeter Road to Reception Center.
o Evacuation Route 2. West on Rouse Store Road to Seven Oaks - Shell Bluff Road. North on Seven Oaks - Shell Bluff Road to Sam Mead and Cates Mead Roads. West on Sam Mead and Cates Mead Roads to Georgia 56. South on Georgia 56 to Perimeter Road. South on Perimeter Road to Reception Center.
o Evacuation Route 3. South on CC Road to Georgia
- 23. East on Georgia 23 to County Road 457 g West on County Road 457 to Georgia 24. West on Georgia 24 to Perimeter Road. North on Perimeter Road to Reception Center.
o Evacuation Route 4. West and south on Georgia 23 to Parker Bonnell Road. West on Parker Bonnell Road to Georgia 24. West on Georgia 24 to Perimeter Road. North on Perimeter Road to Reception Center.
Residents of B-10: South on Brigham's Landing Road to Georgia 23, or south on Royal Road to County Road 453 and west on County
Road 453 to Gacrgio 23. W2ct end south on Georgia 23 to Parker Bonnell Road. West on on Parker Bonnell Road to Georgia 24. West on Georgia 24 to Perimeter Road. North on Perimeter Road to Reception Center.
Trace your route on the map. Also write it in the the blanks with the number 2 in the Summary section. That will help you in an emergency.
- 4. Try this example. It will show you if you are using the chart in the right way. Suppose you live or work in zone E-5. You would drive from the place you live or work to either Evacuation Route 1 or Evacuation Route 2, whichever is easier t o f ol l ow.
If Evacuation Route 1 is easier, you would drive first to Georgia Highway 80. You would go west on Georgia Highway 80 to Georgia Highway 56. You would next go south on Georgia Highway 56 to Perimeter Road. You would then take Perimeter Road south to the Reception Center.
GR Suppose Evacuation Route 2 is easier to follow.
You would drive first to Rouse Store Road. You would go west on Rouse Store Road to Seven Oaks -
Shell Bluff Road. You would go north on Seven Oaks
- Shell Bluff Road to Sam Mead and Cates Mead Roads.
You would go west on Sam Mead and Cates Mead Roads to Georgia Highway 56. You would then go south on Georgia Highway 56 to Perimeter Road, and f oll ow it south to the Reception Center.

C1 asses Of Accidents Four classes of accidents could happen in nuclear power plants.
- 1. Notification of Unusual Event. This is the least serious kind of problem. It might lower the safety of the plant. State and county officials would be told of it. You wcold not have to do anything.
- 2. Alert. This means a more serious kind of problem.
It might lower plant safety still more. State and county officials would be told about it. It is not likely that you would have to do anything.
- 3. Site Area Emergency. This means something serious has happened at the plant and it could lead to worse probl ems. Some radioactive matter could be released very close to the plant, but this does not always happen. State and county officials would be told and would prepare to help. They might have to act to protect people near the plant. You should listen to one of the Waynesboro radio or Augusta TV stations to find out what to do.
- 4. General Emergency. This is the most severe kind of problem. There is a threat from radiation to the people near the plant. State and county officials would tell people what to do for their safety. They would use the Waynesboro radio and Augusta TV stations to tell you what to do. They would ask you to listen as l ong as the emergency lasts.

What Radiation Is Everything around you, called " matter," is made up of small particles called " atoms." Some matter is
" radioactive." This means the atoms can break apart and give off energy in the form of " radiation." This energy can be used to make electricity, to treat cancer, and in other helpful ways.
You live with radiation all the time, and take some of it into your body each day. The amount is measured in
" millirems." You get some of the f ol l owi ng amoun t s in a year from these sources, o Cosmic rays--about 45 millirems o The earth--about 15 millirems o Your water, food, and air--about 25 millirems o The material in your house--about 30 millirems in a wooden house and about 50 millirems in a brick house o One chest X-ray--about 20 millirems o One round-trip airline flight from New York to London and back--about 4 millirems o A color TV set--about 1 millirem Living next to a plant Ilke Plant Vogtle will add about 1 millirem each year.
At times you must be careful how much radiation enters your body. If there is an accident at Plant Vogtle, some radioactive matter may escape and be carried in the air. If the amount is large, an emergency warning will be broadcast.
You may then be asked to protect yourself from it. Your house or some other building can often be a good shelter until the wind scatters and carries the matter away. In some cases, though, you could be asked to leave the area.

You may or may not be affected if your home or the place you work is in one of the zones on the map inside this booklet. An accident could affect some parts of the map and not others. That will depend on where the wind is coming from, how strong it is, and on how bad the accident is. To help you know if you will have to take some action or not, the map has 2 zones marked on it. It also has 2 boat landings marked on the Savannah River. The distances of the zones and boat landings fran Plant Vogtle are shown here.

What Ar e The Actions You Might Need To Take? <SC)
You need to be prepared if a serious accident happens at Plant Vogtle. A large dose of radiation is harmful to your health and might threaten your life. The two actions you might be asked to take to protect yourself are called Take Shelter and Evacuate. They are described in the next two sections. Be sure you are clear about them.
If you have neighbors who are hard of hearing or who do not see or read well, please help them. Be sure they know what they might need to do in an emergency. Fill out the Special Needs Card that came with this booklet and mail it for them if they cannot do this themselves. Use this card also if you, or if someone you know, needs a wheelchair, a ride, or special help of some other kind in an emergency.

What If You Ar e To1d To TAKE SHELTER? (SC)
This means to protect yourself by going inside a building and keeping out as much outside air as you can.
The building could be your house, the place you work, or some other nearby building. Taking shelter is a good thing to do if there is a small amount of radiation in the air.
Do NOT try to meet your children who are in school during an emergency. The schools are far enough from Plant Vogtle so that the children will not need to take shelter.
All school children will be cared for until you are able to meet them. You can meet them as you do on other days when the emergency is over.
Follow these steps to protect yourself if there is a need to take shelter.
o Go inside a nearby building if you are outside. Stay inside until the radio or TV says you can leave safely.

Some radioactive matter could be released very close to the plant, but this does not always happen. State and county officials would be told and would prepare to help. They might have to act to protect people near the plant. You should listen to one of the radio or TV stations listed in this booklet to find out what to do.
4 General Emergency. This is the most severe kind of problem. There is a threat from radiation to the people near the plant. State and county officials would tell people what to do for their safety.

What Radiation Is <SC)
Everything around you, called " matter," is made up of small particles called " atoms." Some matter is
" radioactive." This means the atoms can break apart and give off energy in the form of " radiation." This energy can be used to make electricity, to treat cancer, and in other helpful ways.
You live with radiation all the time, and take some of it into your body each day. The amount i s measured in
" millirems." You get some of the f ol l owi ng amoun ts in a year from these sources.
o Cosmic rays--about 45 millirems o The earth--about 15 millirems o Your water, food, and air--about 25 millirems o The material in your house--about 30 millirems in a wooden house and about 50 millirems in a brick house o One chest X-ray--about 20 millirems o One round-trip airline flight from New York to London and back--about 4 millirems o A col or TV se t--abou t 1 millirem Living next to a plant like Plant Vogtle will add about 1 millirem each year.
At times you must be careful how much radiation enters your body. If there is an accident at Pl an t Vogtl e , some radioactive matter may escape and be carried in the air. If the amount is large, an emergency warning will be broadcast.
You may then be asked to protect yourself from it. Your house or some other building can often be a good shel ter until the wind scatters and carries the matter away. In some cases, though, you could be asked to leave the area.
