6 NUCLEAR EMERGENCY Chapter 1 - General 1.0 Introduction The overall response by Provincial and Municipal Organizations to a nuclear emergency at the Bruce Power site is described in three documents: - Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan (PNERP) Master Plan - Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan Implementing Plan for Bruce Power - Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan Other Radiological Emergencies These plans describe the overall emergency organization and response by Provincial organizations, and to some degree, the response of the Municipality of Kincardine. The Provincial plans require that plans and procedures be prepared by the Municipality around the Bruce Power site, to deal with a nuclear emergency, and that these Municipal plans conform to the Provincial plans. It is important to note that in a nuclear emergency, the Province is responsible for overall direction and control of off-site actions. This plan then, describes the Municipal organization, which is established in response to a nuclear emergency at the Bruce Power site, and how the Municipality will implement the directives of the Provincial organization, and support the overall Provincial emergency response. 1.1 Definition of Municipality Designated Municipality: A municipality in the vicinity of a nuclear facility which has been designated under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, as one that shall have a nuclear emergency plan. Within the context of this plan, Municipality is comprised of: - the elected officials and staff of the Municipality of Kincardine, - local emergency services organizations, ie. Police, Fire and Ambulance, - County Government and staff, including Roads Department and Bruce County Ontario Works

7 1.2 Scope - adjoining Municipalities - the Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound Health Unit and local hospitals, - Bluewater District School Board and the Bruce-Grey Separate School Board - local volunteer organizations and service clubs, including Red Cross and St. John Ambulance - local businesses and recreational facilities. The Municipal Emergency Plan describes what actions will be taken by the Municipality to respond to a nuclear emergency at the Bruce Power site that creates off-site impact. How this is accomplished is described in the plans and procedures of the various organizations and agencies comprising the Municipality. 1.3 Host Municipality Host Municipality Definition: The municipality assigned responsibility in the Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan for the reception and care of people evacuated from their homes in a nuclear emergency (PNERP ANNEX K Nuclear and Radiological Glossary). The Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan designates municipalities to act as a Host Municipality in the event of a nuclear emergency. Host municipalities will have plans for the reception and accommodation of evacuees, and for coordination of monitoring and decontamination arrangements. The Host Municipality during a nuclear emergency is the Town of Saugeen Shores. Activation of the Town of Saugeen Shores Nuclear plan is achieved through a formal notification system from OFMEM Duty Officer to the designated municipalities and the host municipalities (see section 5.7). The Town of Saugeen Shores Police Service is the designated 24-hour on call for the alert and activation of the Town of Saugeen Shores Nuclear Plan

8 Chapter 2 - Planning Basis 2.0 Introduction The Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan - Implementing Plan for Bruce Power describes the various reactor accident scenarios which form the basis for emergency plans and procedures. The extent of the emergency and the resultant off-site effects, prescribe the emergency response and organization required to deal with these scenarios. The various accident scenarios involving the actual or potential release of airborne radioactive material to the environment are categorized in four groups in ascending order of severity. A fifth category - liquid emissions is a waterborne release from nuclear facility (see section 2.1.2). The area around the Bruce Power site is divided into three distinct planning zones namely: the Contiguous Zone, the Primary Zone and the Secondary Zone. The zone closest to the facility is at greatest risk so has the greatest degree of planning, whereas the area furthest away, has the least. 2.1 Emergency Notification Categories Notification Categories The four emergency notification categories with actual or potential for airborne releases, in ascending order of severity, are listed as follows: 1. Reportable Event : An event affecting the nuclear installation which would be of concern to the offsite authorities responsible for public safety. Provincial and municipal duty staff will monitor the situation. [Routine Monitoring]. 2. Abnormal Incident : An abnormal occurrence at the nuclear installation which may have a significant cause, and/or may lead to more serious consequences. Provincial/municipal emergency response staff will normally monitor the situation from their operations centres. Other provincial and municipal staff are notified to remain available to report for duty. [Enhanced Monitoring] 3. Onsite Emergency : A serious malfunction which results or may result in an atmospheric emission of radioactive material or is likely to result in an emission at a later time. Response plans are either partially or fully activated, depending on the absence/presence of an ongoing or imminent emission. Provincial and

9 municipal emergency operation centres are fully staffed. Municipal centres are set up and staffed as required. EIC and JTCC are set up and staffed to begin operation. Partial Activation/Full Activation. 4. General Emergency : An ongoing atmospheric emission of radioactive material, or one likely within a short time frame, as a result of a more severe accident. Response plans and organizations are fully activated and, if necessary, appropriate protective measures are taken. Full Activation Liquid Emissions A liquid emission is a waterborne release from a nuclear facility resulting in discharges with above normal levels of radioactivity. (b) (c) (d) (e) The main radiation exposure pathway for a liquid emission from Bruce Power (normally containing tritium) is through contamination of the water supply, with the resulting hazard being the subsequent ingestion of such contaminated water Because of the limited hazard posed by a liquid emission, it is dealt with differently from an atmospheric emission of radioactivity, through the Provincial Liquid Emission Response Plan (PLERP), an organizational plan under the PNERP. It prescribes the organization, operating procedures, linkages, notification criteria response measures, criteria for their application, etc. for undertaking a provincial response to a liquid emission. A liquid emission response undertaken pursuant to the PLERP, may shift to a PNERP response should events escalate to a magnitude where it is deemed appropriate. Further, if the PEOC is functioning as a result of the activation of the PNERP, any liquid emission from Bruce Power will be dealt with under the PNERP, irrespective of whether the original activation of the PEOC was for a Bruce Power or any other nuclear emergency. 2.2 Emergency Planning Zone Contiguous Zone (a) The Contiguous Zone comprises Response Sector 1 (see Figure 2.1), and includes an area adjacent to the Bruce Power Site boundary from Concession 8 to Inverhuron Park and extending east to Lake Range Road, the bluff and Concession 2. (b) The Contiguous Zone is the area immediately surrounding the nuclear installation out to an approximate radius of 3 kilometers

10 2.2.2 Primary Zone (a) The Primary Zone for Bruce Power is shown in Figure 2.1. It includes the area within the Municipality of Kincardine bounded generally by County Road 11 and Concession 14 to the north, 10 Sideroad to the east, a and Concession 7 to the south, but excluding the Bruce Power Site. The Primary Zone extends westward into Lake Huron to a radius of 10 kilometres. The exact boundaries of the zone can be determined from Annex A. (b) The Primary Zone, which includes the Contiguous Zone, is the area around the nuclear installation within which detailed planning and preparedness is carried out for measures against exposure to a radioactive emission. The approximate radius is 10 kilometers Secondary Zone (a) (b) The Secondary Zone encompasses all areas of the Counties of Bruce, Grey and Huron within a 50 km radius of the Bruce Power Site. The Secondary Zone is shown in Figure 2.3 and includes both the Contiguous and Primary Zones. Figure 2.3 also shows the sub-zones of the Secondary Zone. The Secondary Zone is the area within which it is necessary to plan and prepare for taking Ingestion Control Measures, based on the monitoring of the food chain for contamination. 2.3 Response Sectors The Primary Zone for Bruce Power is divided into 9 Response Sectors which fall into the following sector rings around the station: Inner Ring - Sector 1 and lake sector 7 (Contiguous Zone) Middle Ring - Sectors 2,3 and lake sector 8 Outer Ring - Sectors 4,5 and 6, and lake sector 9 The boundaries of the Response Sectors are shown in Figure 2.1 The preferred method of evacuation or imposing of other protective measures will be by rings, since it is difficult to predict the wind direction or speed, particularly during the spring and early winter when the lake effect is most pronounced

14 Chapter 3 - Concept of Operation 3.1 Overview The following is an overview of the sequence of events and actions taken in the event of an incident at the Bruce Power site: 1. The Bruce Power Shift Superintendent decides on the emergency notification category based on available information, and within 15 minutes, makes the initial notification to the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre and the London Ontario Provincial Police Communication Centre. 2. Within 15 minutes of being notified, the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre will decide on the action to be taken as follows: 99 - Routine Monitoring - Enhanced Monitoring - Partial Activation - Full Activation The Provincial Emergency Operations Centre will then contact the Community Emergency Management Coordinator/alternate and inform him/her of the above decision. 3. The Community Emergency Management Coordinator/alternate will initiate the notification plan. Response is described below and in section If the plan is partially or fully activated, the following Emergency Centres could be established and staffed if decided as described in 3.2.3(2) and 3.2.4(2) respectively: - Emergency Operations Centre - Emergency Information Centre - Reception/Evacuee Centre - Traffic Control Centre - Emergency Worker Centre 5. If the plan is fully activated the entire Emergency Control Group will assemble at the Emergency Operations Centre, and assume control of Emergency Operations. Until the Emergency Control Group is fully assembled and activated, the Head of the Emergency Control Group will authorize any urgent emergency actions covered in Sections 7.4.3, 7.4.4, and 9.1 of this plan. 6. If a Provincial Nuclear Emergency is declared, the Head of Council/or alternate for the Municipality of Kincardine will declare a municipal emergency and immediately notify the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre of this action

15 7. The Province of Ontario, through the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre will issue directives and orders for Protective Measures to be taken. 8. After immediate actions are taken to protect the public from exposure to radiation (Phase I) the emergency will enter Phase II in which longer term actions are taken to monitor the environment, prevent the public from ingestion of radioactive materials, and restore the situation to normal. (Recovery Phase) 3.2 Initial Response Routine Monitoring Routine Monitoring would normally be ordered by the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre following a Reportable Event, unless decided otherwise by the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre. 1.

Host municipalities will have plans for the reception and accommodation of evacuees, and for coordination of monitoring and decontamination arrangements. The Host Municipality during a nuclear emergency is the Town of Saugeen Shores. The planned centres are listed below. Host Municipality Centre Address Town of Saugeen Shores Emergency Worker Centre Peel Street Yard Town of Saugeen Shores Reception Centre (The Plex) Chapter 6 - Emergency Communications 6.1 Landline telephones 329 Peel Street, Southampton 600 Tomlinson Drive Port Elgin The primary means of communication during a nuclear emergency are landline telephones. The telephone requirements for each Centre are described in Appendix N - Emergency Procedures. In that Bruce Telecom lies within the Primary Zone, the possibility exists that the offices may have to be closed. Bruce Telecom should have an emergency plan to provide priority telephone maintenance services during a nuclear emergency. Bruce Telecom staff is on the emergency notification system. All emergency phones are protected by Priority Access Dialling. A list of these phones is included in Appendix N - Emergency Procedures. 6.2 Additional Phones and Pagers The Community Emergency Management Coordinator or alternate carries a cell phone. This phone is used as a 24/7 primary emergency contact for all emergencies. - Satellite phones are available at the Emergency Operations Centre and the Traffic Control Centre

32 - Low power portable radios (VHF) are available from the Community Emergency Management Coordinator 6.3 Agency Radios Radio systems used by local emergency services include: - Ontario Provincial Police Radio System (trunking) - Fire Department Radio System (simplex) - Ambulance Radio System (trunking) - Public Works Department (simplex) - Reception/Evacuation Centre Dedicated Radios from Community Emergency Management Coordinator (special frequency) - Marine Radio used by Canadian Coast Guard, Ontario Provincial Police & private craft - Bruce Power Emergency Worker Centre Staff (Family radios) 6.4 Amateur Radio Emergency Services Amateur Radio Emergency Services perform an important back up to the overall emergency Communication Plan.

The Emergency Operations Centre uses high-speed wireless internet and 12 laptop computers to be used at the Emergency Operations Centre

33 7.1 Introduction Chapter 7 - Emergency Notification & Information Notification of emergency response staff and the public are the two most important elements of the emergency plan. It is necessary to ensure people are notified promptly, are given the correct information, and are kept informed through the emergency phase of the actions required by them, and the progress of the emergency in general. For this reason, the notification, alerting and information systems are both extensive and, in most cases, backed up by a second or even third process for more critical notifications as noted in Appendix N - Procedures Manual. 7.2 Municipal Emergency Response Organization The Notification Plan for notifying the Municipal Emergency Response Organization is shown graphically in the emergency plan procedures manual. The following applies to this plan: (1) The Initial Notification from the Bruce Power site to the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre and London Ontario Provincial Police Communications Centre will be accompanied by a simultaneous fax. (2) Information included in the initial emergency notification from the Bruce Power site will be prescribed by the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre and will contain the following: a. Name and Position of the caller b. Station and Unit involved c. Initial Notification Category - Reportable Event - Abnormal Incident - On-Site Emergency - General Emergency d. Brief description of the event - system involved - has fuel failure occurred e. Is a release expected - time - expected dose f. Are any changes in status expected g. Suggested actions

34 - information only - partial activation - full activation h. Expected time of the next up-date i. Phone number to call for further information or clarification j. Confirmation of message received. (3) After receiving the initial notification from the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre, the Community Emergency Management Coordinator will await confirmation and direction from the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre before proceeding with the Municipal notification. If confirmation is not received within 30 minutes, the Community Emergency Management Coordinator will attempt to contact the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre. If this is not successful, the Community Emergency Management Coordinator will proceed with emergency notification as per this plan. 0 (4) Follow up notification and information after the initial notifications will be the responsibility of the Community Emergency Management Coordinator. All emergency notifications and information messages after the initial notifications will be authorized by the Head, Emergency Control Group. (5) All initial notifications will be confirmed by fax where these are available. 7.3 Emergency Notification Back-Up Plan It is not prudent to rely upon one method of emergency notification. All systems must have at least one back-up. Depending upon circumstances, more than one method may be used at one time. In all cases however, the Community Emergency Management Coordinator is responsible for activating the emergency notification system and for deciding how it will be implemented depending on circumstances at the time. The following methods of emergency notification can be used in descending order of priority: 1. Telephone Fan-Out 2. Personal Contact or Courier. Procedures for activation and operation of these systems are contained in Appendix N - Procedures Manual

37 7.4 Public Alerting System General The Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan details the public alerting requirements that the Municipality of Kincardine must implement for the Primary Zone around the Bruce Power site. Bruce Power is required to provide the resources and assistance for the establishment and maintenance of the alerting system Requirements The public alerting requirement for the Contiguous (3 km) Zone is as follows: Provide within 15 minutes of initiation of the alerting system, warning to practically 100% of the people in that zone, whether they be indoors or outdoors, and irrespective of the time of day or year. The term practically 100% means that the signal can be heard by everyone in the 3 km zone unless exceptional circumstances (e.g. hearing impairment, loud machinery operations) provide an impediment. The public alerting requirement for the remainder of the Primary Zone (3-10 km) is as follows: Provide within 15 minutes of initiation of the alerting system, warning on an area-wide basis, and to the population in all response sectors within the 3-10km zone The term area wide basis means that the alert signal will cover the 3 10 km area but does not presume that practically 100% of the people in that area will necessarily hear the alerting signal. The public outside the Contiguous Zone may also be notified by Radio and TV broadcasts and, if necessary, through mobile Public Address systems and door to door visits by Police and Firefighters. These are dispatched through the Traffic Control Centre System Description The Public Alerting System in the Contiguous Zone and Primary Zone around the Bruce Power site consists of the following: 1. A series of 10 sirens located within a 3 km radius of the Bruce Power Site, as shown in Figure 7, (activated by Bruce Power as per authorization from the Community Emergency Management Coordinator) should there be an ongoing or expected emission within 6 hours. 2. An automated dialling system provided by Rapid Notify is designed to notify residents within the 3km contiguous zone and the 10km primary zone is in

38 place and activated by telephone by the Community Emergency Management Coordinator upon notification from the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre. 3. A digital FM receiver has been supplied to the residents in the Contiguous Zone and Primary Zone, activated by the Community Emergency Management Coordinator. The ALERTFM TM receiver uses local FM Radio frequencies to send out a text message that is fed by satellite. It will provide the ability to broadcast emergency messages directly to residents, businesses and institutions with an audible alert and text message within seconds. This initiative will greatly improve communications and emergency information to the residents in the Contiguous Zone and Primary Zone. 4. Ontario Provincial Police and fire department vehicles if required using sirens and Public Address systems to alert residents to listen to local media. 5. The Canadian Coast Guard which broadcasts an emergency message on marine channel 16 and the Marine Radio Continuous Broadcast on channel 83B Criteria for Activation The Public Alerting System in the Contiguous Zone and the Primary Zone will be activated by the Community Emergency Management Coordinator under the following conditions: 1. When requested by the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre. 2. In the case of a nuclear emergency with an ongoing or imminent emission of radioactivity the Municipality is authorized to immediately initiate the public alerting system. The PEOC will issue the appropriate Emergency Bulletin Responsibilities 1. The Community Emergency Management Coordinator is responsible for directing Bruce Power to activate the Public Alerting System when requested by the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre. 2. The off-site sirens will be activated by the Bruce Power Emergency Services Dispatch when requested by the Community Emergency Management Coordinator. 3. If the Community Emergency Management Coordinator cannot be contacted, the Bruce Power Emergency Services Dispatch may activate the system if directed by the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre, or if authorized station procedures indicate Public Alerting is immediately required

39 4. The Provincial Emergency Operations Centre will coordinate all public notification outside the Contiguous Zone
