Any emergency at the Susquehanna plant would fall into one of the following four categories, established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Notification of Unusual Event – Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Alert – Events are in process or have occurred that involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life- threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of hostile action. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. Site Area Emergency – Events are in process or have occurred that involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed to protect the public, or hostile action that results in intentional damage or malicious acts toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of, or that prevent effective access to equipment needed to protect the public. Any radioactive releases are not expected to result in exposure levels that exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary. General Emergency – Events are in process or have occurred that involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or hostile action that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Radioactive releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. Emergency Information Contact Your Local Emergency Management Agency or the American Red Cross � Learn your community’s evacuation routes. � Ask about special assistance for elderly or disabled persons. � Ask your workplace about emergency plans. � Learn about emergency plans for your children’s school or day care center. � Ask about animal care after a disaster. Pets may not be allowed inside emergency shelters due to health regulations. Create an Emergency Plan � Meet with household members to discuss the dangers of fire, severe weather, earthquakes and other emergencies. Explain how to respond to each. � Find the safe spots in your home for each type of disaster. � Discuss what to do about power outages and personal injuries. � Draw a floor plan of your home. Mark two escape routes from each room. � Show family members how to turn off the water, gas and electricity main switches when necessary. � Post emergency telephone numbers near telephones. � Teach children how and when to call 9-1-1, police and fire. � Instruct household members to turn on the radio for emergency information. � Pick one out-of-state and one local friend or relative for family members to call if separated during a disaster (it is often easier to call out-of-state than within the affected area). � Teach children your out-of-state contact’s phone numbers. � Pick two emergency meeting places: 1) A place near your home in case of a fire. 2) A place outside your neighborhood in case you cannot return home after a disaster. � Take a basic first aid and CPR class. � Pre-Emergency Checklist
