Planning zones

Exclusion Zone No human habitation is permitted within this zone. This would typically be 100 to 1000 m on either side of the equipment but may be larger depending upon the jurisdiction. [Pg.251]

Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) People are allowed to reside in this zone, but a emergency plan must be established to handle an accidental release. [Pg.251]

People can live within the EPZ, but they must be well informed of the situation and this begins with the initiation of the project - the public should be informed from the outset. From that point, there must be continual consultation with the public. This may include emeigency drills. Furthermore, there must be a system for contacting them in case of an emergency. This would include an automated phone call out system, which must log the result (i) answered by human, (ii) answered by machine, or (iii) no answer. [Pg.252]

There are several considerations when establishing the planning zones. The most important consideration is the type of human habitation. These may bebroken down simply as follows 1. Uninhabited, 2. Rural (family farms with limited number of inhabitants and possibly livestock), 3. Town or village (limited number of residents and permanent structures, say 500), and 4. City (more inhabitants than a town or village). [Pg.252]

Once the potential leak has been established, these levels of human habitation are used to establish the two planning zones. Based on the design of the injection scheme, the design engineer should then establish the exclusion and the planning zones. Example release levels may be as follows  [Pg.252]

A continuous leak is one where the leak is without bound. An example of this is a well blowout. The flow from the well continues unrestricted until the well is brought under control and shut in. In petroleum engineering terms this is absolute open flow (AOF). Thus the planning zones should be based on the AOF. [Pg.250]

Thus, based on these release levels we can further establish the planning zones. Example exclusion zones may be as follows ... [Pg.252]

Level 4 By written agreement with those within the planning zone (minimum Level 3)... [Pg.253]

The size of the planning zones is also established based on the potential leak and may be several kilometers from the equipment depending upon the size of the leak and the level of human habitation. [Pg.253]

None of the discussion above mentioned either the prevailing winds or the current winds. Clearly, the winds have an effect on the direction of the dispersion of the leak and perhaps should have some effect on designating the planning zones. [Pg.256]

Perhaps some consideration should be given to an urban center that lies outside the standard planning zones, but is downwind based on the prevailing winds in the area. [Pg.256]

Again, all of the discussion of planning zones above are based on H2S release. A release of carbon dioxide can have significant consequences as well. [Pg.256]

State and local governments, with support from tlie Federal government and utilities, develop plans that include a plume emergency planning zone with a radius of 10 miles from the plant, and an ingestion planning zone within a radius of 50 miles from the plant. [Pg.210]

Residents within the 10-niile emergency planning zone are regularly disseminated emergency information materials (via brochures, the phone book, calendars, utility bills, etc.). These materials contain educational information on radiation, instructions for evacuation and sheltering, special arrangements for the handicapped, contacts for additional information, etc. Residents should be familiar with these emergency information materials. [Pg.210]

Because TA-V includes Category 2 reactor and hot-cell facilities, the TA-V EPP is based on accidents with the potential for moderately severe consequences. The Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) that is consistent with those radiological consequences is defined by a radius of 3000 m. As a result, the EPZ is entirely within the Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB). The area closest to TA-V is controlled during an emergency by the roadblocks that are established to control vehicle traffic through the area. [Pg.344]

Carry out evacuation actions as part of the facility fire plan. Zoning of the fire alarm system remains the key action when defending in-place occupancies. Coordinate fire notification zones and publish in the fire plan. Note that fire alarm zones do not necessarily coincide with smoke compartment boundaries. NFPA 72 allows private mode operation of the fire alarm notification. This allows the staff to know the alarm origin and location. NFPA 72 modifies the requirement for placement of visible notification appliances when operating in the private operating mode. NFPA 101 now allows the use of positive alarm sequence. The sequence includes the following ... [Pg.234]

In designing the public alerting system, eare must be taken to ensure that the system can reach the entire target public, including those with speeial needs, such as the hearing impaired. The system must also address the needs of industries within the planning zones, where noise levels may reduce the effeetiveness of an exterior siren system. [Pg.142]

The system should also take into aeeount the need to provide instructions to members of the public who are outside the planning zone to prevent them from reacting in a way that will hinder the effective implementation of proteetive aetions within the zone. Indeed, the unexpected evacuation of a large number of people outside the zone may prevent the orderly evacuation of people coming from within the zone. [Pg.142]

Predistribution to all members of the population living in the planning zone means that there will be a minimal delay between the order to take the iodine and its administration. However, there are several potential problems associated with this strategy ... [Pg.171]

The preparations include establishment of emergency planning zones around these facilities. There are two zones. The plume emergency planning zone (plume EPZ) typically includes the area within 10 miles of a nuclear power plant. Within is zone, preparations are made to promptly implement sheltering and evacuation. The second zone, called the ingestion zone, extends out to 50 miles. Within this zone, detailed preparations are made to protect the food supply. [Pg.189]

Subsequent to federal legislation, municipalities plan zoning to keep housing developments isolated from industrial regions. Noise ordinances, for day and night, have been enacted for most residential regions as well as industrial sites. Highway noise is... [Pg.1300]
