Emergency protective actions: Protective actions to isolate food to prevent its introduction into commerce and to determine whether condemnation or other disposition is appropriate. Emergency worker: Refers to an individual who has an essential mission or outside the exposure pathway emergency planning zone to protect the health and safety of the public who could be exposed to ionizing radiation from the plume or from its disposition. Some examples of emergency workers are: radiation monitoring personnel; traffic control personnel; evacuation vehicle drivers; fire and rescue personnel including ambulance crews; medical facilities personnel; emergency operations center personnel; personnel carrying backup alerting procedures; and essential services or utility personnel. Evacuation: The process of removing people from a hazardous area to a safe area. As used in this plan, evacuation refers to the urgent removal of people from an area to avoid or reduce high level, short term exposure, usually from the plume or from deposited activity. Evacuation may be a preemptive action taken in response to nuclear plant condition rather than an actual release. Exercise: Refers to an event involving organizational responses to a simulated commercial nuclear power plant accident with radiological and other offsite consequences. The purpose of an exercise is to test the integrated capabilities of involved organizations to implement emergency functions set forth in plans and procedures Exposure—Exposure rate: The most common indicators of radiation hazards are the exposure and he exposure rate, usually expressed in roentgens (R) and roentgens (R/hr). (Sometimes these terms are called the dose and dose rate). The exposure (R) actually is a measure of the ionization (i.e. electrical charges) produced in air by X or gamma radiation. Exposure rate (R/hr) provides an index of the gamma radiation energy that is the body per “hitting” unit of time. The exposure rate, thus, is a measure of the intensity of radiation decreases or increases in time. The total, or accumulated, exposure (usually just called exposure) is an indicator of the total radiation damage that has occurred. This is in contrast to the exposure rate, which is an indicator of the radiological hazard (the rate that damage is occurring) at any instant of time.
