Analysis of offsite emergency planning zones (EPZs) for the Rocky Flats Plant
This Project Plan Overview summarizes the design of a project to complete analysis of offsite Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs) for the Rocky Flats Plant. Federal, state, and local governments develop emergency plans for facilities that may affect the public in the event of an accidental release of nuclear or hazardous materials. One of the purposes of these plans is to identify EPZs where actions could be necessary to protect public health. Public protective actions include sheltering, evacuation, and relocation. Agencies use EPZs to develop response plans and to determine needed resources. DOE and EG G Rocky Flats, Inc., will develop recommended offsite EPZs for the Rocky Flats Plant (RFP). We will develop recommended sheltering and evacuation EPZs for accidental release of radionuclides to the atmosphere from the facility. We will also develop recommended EPZs for accidental releases of major nonradiological hazardous substances to the atmosphere, and will analyze the impacts of an unplanned surface water release from the facility. DOE and EG G Rocky Flats will submit these recommendations to the CDH for potential use in the State's offsite emergency planning for the Rocky Flats Plant. 3 refs., 3 figs., 4 tabs.
