15、ard provides criteria for emergency planning and response to a nu-clear criticality accident for facilities outside reactors that process, store, orhandle fissionable material. This standard assumes that an alarm system thatcomplies with American National Standard “Criticality Accident Alarm System,

16、”ANSI0ANS-8.3-1997 R2003!, is in place. This standard focuses on those ele-ments of planning and response needed specifically in the event of a criticalityaccident. It is not a general emergency planning and response standard.This revision adds three appendices. The appendices are intended to assist

17、technical staff in fulfilling some of their responsibilities noted in this standard.Few changes were made to the body of the standard. Section 4.19! was revisedbecause it was noted that a system to read dosimeters is needed to obtain usefulinformation from them. Section 5.1 was revised to emphasize

18、that accidentcharacterization is done to support emergency response planning. Section 7 wasreformatted without sub-subsections because reentry, rescue, and stabilizationare interrelated topics.The working group would like to gratefully acknowledge the contributions byIchiro Nojiri, who died prior to

Equipment such as a criticality acci-dent alarm system defined in ANSI0ANS-8.3-1997 R2003!1#!and procedures are in placeto activate the emergency response whenneeded.4.2 Technical staff responsibi

29、lities4.2.1 PlanningThe technical staff shall1! identify potential criticality accidentlocations;2! evaluate and characterize potential crit-icality accidents, including radiological doseprediction;3! determine the instrumentation and equip-ment requirements for emergency responseactivities;4! defin

30、e the immediate evacuation zonearound the potential criticality accidentlocations;5! participate in the planning, conduct, andevaluation of exercises and drills.4.2.2 Emergency responseDuring an emergency response the technicalstaff shall1! be available to advise and assist the emer-gency coordinato

31、r in responding to the criti-cality accident;2! conduct a radiological dose assessmentappropriate for a criticality accident.5 Emergency response planning5.1 Evaluation5.1.1Potential criticality accident locations and pre-dicted accident characteristics shall be evalu-ated and documented in sufficie

32、nt detail to assistemergency planning. This evaluation may bebased on professional judgment or a more de-tailed analysis. The description should includethe estimated fission yield. The likelihood ofrecurrence of criticality should be considered.5.1.2An immediate evacuation zone shall be estab-lished

33、 based on the documented evaluation.Emergency response planning shall establish amaximum acceptable value for the absorbeddose at the immediate evacuation zone bound-ary. The basis for the maximum acceptable valueshall be documented. Shielding may be consid-ered in establishing the immediate evacuat

34、ionzone. The localized effects of a criticality acci-dent, and the fact that rapid evacuation is notwithout risk, may result in an immediate evac-uation zone that is significantly smaller thanan entire site.5.2 Emergency response plan5.2.1An emergency response plan, consistent withthe documented acc

35、ident evaluation requiredin Sec. 5.1.1, shall be established and main-tained. The emergency response plan may forman integral part of, or be separate from, otherplans.5.2.2The emergency response plan shall include guid-ance to management, technical staff, and re-sponse personnel for response to a cr

36、iticalityAmerican National Standard ANSI0ANS-8.23-20072accident. The plan shall address recommendedprotective actions, functions of response person-nel, and equipment needed for criticality acci-dent response.5.2.3The emergency response plan shall identify po-tential criticality accident locations a

37、nd in-clude appropriate facility descriptions.5.2.4The emergency response plan shall include pro-visions for1! an emergency coordinator;2! activating emergency response;3! responding to concurrent emergenciesforexample, fire, personnel injury, or securityincidents!;4! identifying exposed personnel a

46、clearly identified orposted.6.7Evacuation routes should be planned to mini-mize the total risk considering all potentialhazards, for example, chemical, industrial, andradiation.7 Reentry, rescue, andstabilization7.1All activities associated with reentry, rescue,and stabilization shall be coordinated

47、 and au-thorized by the emergency coordinator. Theemergency coordinator may delegate authorityto other qualified individuals.7.2Reentry shall be planned to minimize risks topersonnel. The possibility of a continuing orrecurring criticality accident shall be considered.7.3Reentry during the emergency

48、 shall only bemade by personnel trained in emergency re-sponse and reentry.7.4Personnel who reenter the immediate evacua-tion zone during the emergency shall be in-formed of the potential hazards and shall chooseto accept the associated risk. Reentry shouldbe performed by more than one person.7.5Ree

49、ntry should be made only if a preliminaryradiological survey indicates that the radiationlevels are acceptable for reentry. Existing in-strumentation or temporary sensors with re-mote readout may be used.7.6All reentries shall be made with continuousradiation monitoring. Both neutron and gammainstruments should be used.7.7If personnel need to be rescued, the rescue shallbe planned so as not to expose rescuers to life-threatening radiation doses.7.8If the system remains critical and is possiblycausing excessive damage or significant re-leases of rad
