Palo Verde Quarterly News Vol. 11 Spring 1984 Emergency response planning comes o$ age Followingis a reprint ofa story that appeared in the Winter 1984 Review, a magazine published by the Institute ofNuclear Power Opera.

tions, about the Palo Verde plant's emergency response plan and organization.

As Bob Page puts it, "Murphy's law can take over. So even ifyou can't imagine that a situation could occur, you should be able to deal with it."

Page speaks as manager of emergency planning and prepared-ness at Arizona Public Service Company's Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.

Although Palo Verde is still under construction (the first of its three units is nearing fuel load), its emergency plan is well in place.

A permanent eight-member staff at Palo Verde works full.time on emergency planning. With each step in the planning process, these staff members must address a

number of questions. Are the facil-ities adequate? Is the training suf-ficient for both plant staff and off-site agencies? How are training tools such as drills and exercises to be coordinated?

In some ways, Palo Verde's chal-lenges are less complex than those at other plants. The emergency planning zone (EPZ*) population is less than 4,000, and only one county and one state participate in the emergency plan. (Editor's note:

• denotes terms to be defined.)

The point is to get a quick response for the start, using on-site personnel.

But the very fact that the Palo Verde site is so remote -about 60 miles from Phoenix - brings special considerations. Getting experts from the corporate office in Phoe-nix to the plant site quickly, for example, could cause some staffing problems.

The point, says Page, is to get a quick response from the start, using on.site personnel. This is where Palo Verde's satellite tech-nical support center (STSC) comes into play. The STSC is a special facilitylocated immediately out-side the control room. There, a staff of about 10 handles the initial stages of an emergency before other emergency facilities are staffed.

After the operator determines which of the four emergency action levels (EALS*)an event falls into, he calls in the shift supervisor from an "unaffected" unit at the plant. That supervisor acts as the (Continued overleaf) lL.

Emergency (continued) emergency coordinator, freeing the supervisor of the affected unit to deal with the emergency.

From the STSC, the flowof information begins: The emer-gency coordinator, among other things, notifies off-site agencies and calls in backup personnel.

Says Page, "The STSC provides the immediate response and con-trol needed, allowing us time to staff other facilities fully."

In addition to the STSC, Palo Verde staff has tailored other facil-ities to speed the flowof informa-tion during an emergency. These include the following:

Ajoint emergency news center, joint ENC*, where representatives from the county, state and utility cooperate to provide information to the public.

A corporate headquarters infor-mation center, which handles pub.

lic information before the news center is in operation. Staffing the corporate facilityis quickly done, since the day-to day offices of the staff members are already located in the corporate office.

Palo Verde training Making the emergency plan work hinges on a key ingredient:

training. By no means does that training stop with the plant staff or even, the corporate staff. At Palo Verde, it includes such off-site groups as the state radiation agency and local medical facilities.

APS takes special measures to ensure training is consistent throughout each organization.

With members drawh from all organizations, a committee creates lesson plans for that purpose.

Hands-on training, classroom instruction and exams play a part, and "mini-drills"allow the trai-nees to act out their emergency roles far in advance of exercises when all the organizations work together.

After the mini.drills, the next training tool APS used was the "table-top" exercise. Here all the players about 200 assembled in one room to walk through the full emergency exercise. The site SlTE STATUS t Status /Con dit V Bob Page for Palo Verde's three table-top exercises was a convention center in downtown Phoenix.

The participants, explains Page, had signs on the tables designating their positions, along with packets that explained who they could call and what phones they could use.

With the emergency scenario as a guide, the players made phone call after phone call all hypotheti-cally. With each "call," the caller would stand and address the per-son on the receiving end so that all the players could hear.

The point was to get the prob-lems out in the open. Says Page, "Some people came in not knowing exactly what they were supposed to do. Others hadn't read the procedures. And, in fact, I think there were some glitches in the scenario. Let's face it. Everyone was learning.

Two table-tops and a dress rehearsal later, Palo Verde was ll:j>~>~~s.

Dennis Yows ready to check the results of its training efforts through the full-scale exercise. Lead On-site Emer-gency Planner Dennis Yows notes that one of the major efforts was to simulate real conditions as much as possible. Role-playing is essen-tial, he says. "You have to emphas-ize that to the participants. We said to them, 'You'e got to do it just like it was really happening so we can check the whole, thing."'ith realism the goal, Palo Verde began its exercise by way of the control room simulator, along with a mock satellite technical support center. The use of the simulator proved an excellent training tool, says Yows. "This way," he explains, "the operators could see events unfolding before their eyes." The fullscenario brought all the facilities into play, complete with heavy media inter-est at the joint emergency news center.

The exercise went well, says Page, and he notes that it served as p good method to locate rough spots. "You should be convinced that you'e already got a passing situation. You run the exercise to determine those areas that need additional work."

Walt Disney movie arrives at Palo Verde You are invited to the Palo Verde Information Center to see a very informative and entertaining movie about the atom and how it is used in the production of electric-ity at a nuclear generating station.

The movie, "The Atom, A Closer Look," was produced by Walt Disney Productions and the Amer-ican Nuclear Society.

The movie also explains how a nuclear generating plant works, radiation, the safety record of the nuclear industry, and the handling of spent fuel.

Both children and adults will learn a lot about the atom and the nuclear industry from this 30-minute film, so why not bring the whole family!

To reserve a time at the Infor-mation Center to see "The Atom, A Closer-Look," please call the Information Center any day between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at 932-3230 or 386-6167.

The fourth annual Palo Verde Open House for all our neighbors living around the plant willbe on Saturday, May 5th. Palo Verde's doors willbe open to you and your family from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

This willbe the first Open House that willgive you a chance to see the inside of one of the nuclear plant's units. Sights included in the walking tour will be the large turbine generator that willproduce electricity, and the nuclear reactor located inside the containment building.'For safety's sake we ask that ladies planning to take the walking tour do not wear high-heeled shoes.

We hope you willtake advantage of this opportunity to not only walk through the inside of the nuclear plant, but to also take a bus tour of the site, visit the con-trol room simulator, see radiation and energy demonstrations, enjoy a barbeque lunch, listen to a coun-try western band, and take away free souvenirs of your visit.

Please mark Saturday, May 5th on your calendar, and we'l look forward to seeing you at the Palo Verde Open House.

Hot Line program re-emphasized to emplloyees In November 1982, APS launched a quality assurance pro-gram at Palo Verde called Hot Line Designed to be yet another check in a system of many checks, the Hot Line phone number enables employees to bring their unre-solved quality and safety concerns to the attention of the APS corpo-rate QA Department.

Since the program began, 40 concerns have been investigated through Hot Line. "This relatively low figure is a good indicator that most quality and safety problems are being resolved at the plant site," says Bruce Kaplan, manager of Quality Systems and Programs for APS.

But the number of APS employees at Palo Verde has grown since the program began, and there have been many personnel changes among the Bechtel crews. So in April,Hot Line brochures were again distributed to all Palo Verde personnel, to make sure everyone becomes aware of the program.

Calls made to Hot Line are responded to within one day and all calls are confidential. QA engi-neers investigate and followup all reports made to Hot Line in order to carry out upper management's commitment to provide employees a way to make sure their concerns are heard and addressed.

Callers who wish to remain anonymous can check back in 10 working days after their initialreport to find out the status of their concern.

PALO'VERDE lETOS'kNDN'F VOllHAIIYEAf 80iVESN The Hot Line program is a part of the APS Corporate Nuclear Safety Policy which holds all Palo Verde employees responsible for maintaining the highest standards of safety for the protection of employees and the public.

Dear Resident:

This Department has the responsibility to prepare the plans for emergency response in your area for any incident or accident associated with the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.

We are requesting that you complete and return to us the enclosed postage-free information form to aid us in this effort.

As you can see, this form will provide us with current information as to the number of people residing within 10 miles of the plant and alert us to the names and ad-dresses of those who may need transportation provided in the event of an emergency.

Due to the design and type of construction used at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, we believe that when it becomes operational it is extremely unlikely that an accident will occur which would pose a threat to those living near the plant.

However, Federal Regulations re-quire the preparation of Emergency

Response

Plans and that these plans be exercised on a regular basis.

Thank you for your assistance.

If you have any questions, please contact this office.

THE P LOVERDE UCLEAR GE ER Tl GST TIO The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, located in Wintersburg, Arizona, is fifty-fivemiles west of downtown Phoenix. Although the plant has been constructed and is operated with safety foremost in mind, it is possible that an accident could occur that might require protective action.

The following information explains some steps that should be taken by people living or working within an approximate ten mile radius of the plant in the unlikely event of an accident at the Palo Verde plant.

HOW YOU WILLBE NOTIFIED The possibility is remote that an accident would escalate to a level requiring notification of the public. A siren will sound in the event of an accidental, potential, or actual radiation release to the environment. If you should hear a siren, tune to local radio or television stations for information and instructions from county and state officials. You will be kept informed for as long as a potential hazard exists.

PALO VEROE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT 8 0 OA SOUTHERN IE BASELINE EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATIONS You should take a few moments to familiarize yourself with each of these classifications so that if you ever hear them being used, you'l know how to respond. The four classes of emergency from the least serious to most serious are:

~

Notification of Unusual Event Indication of a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No release of radioactive material requiring offsite response is expected.

~

Alert An actual or a potential, limited release of radioactive material requiring offsite radiation monitoring.

~

Site Area Emergency Releases or potential releases of radioactive material requiring offsite radiation monitoring and notification of local residents.

~

General Emergency Releases or potential releases of radioactive material requiring protec-tive measures for local residents.

PROTECTIVE ACTIONS There are a number of protective actions that you could be advised to take under the direction of Arizona and Maricopa County government authorities to ensure maximum protection from excessive exposure to radiation. Depending upon the magnitude of the accident, government officials may direct implementation of one or a combination of these protective actions:

Sheltering: This action is the easiest protective action to implement since, in most cases, your home will provide adequate shelter from radia-tion. A "shelter-in-place" announcement means "stay indoors" or "get indoors."

Selective Evacuation:

Would be implemented if the severity of the accident warrants the evacua-tion of those people who are more sensitive to radiation (pregnant females and children to age 18, because the young are more susceptible than are adults).

Evacuation:

Implemented only when other pro-tective actions cannot assure an appropriate level of protection from an anticipated hazard.

Simply stated, if you are required to evacuate, you will be directed to move out of the area of risk and into designated Reception and Care Centers in locations well outside the hazard area.

Before leaving your home, make sure that appliances and faucets are turned off. Doors and windows should be locked. Be sure to leave ade-quate food and water for animals that remain at home. Do not EVACUATEunless it is advised for your area. Keep calm and follow broadcast instructions.

Scale in Miles Emergency Classifications You should take a few moments to familiarize your-self with each of these classifications so that ifyou ever hear them being used, you'l know how to respond. The four levels of emergency, from least serious to most serious, are:

A. Unusual Event indication of a potential de-gradation ofthe level ofsafety ofthe plant. No release of radioactive material requiring offsite response is expected.

B. AlertAn actual or potential, limited release of radioactive material requiring offgite radia-tion monitoring.

C. Site Emergency Releases, or potential re-leases, of radioactive material requiring offsite radiation monitoring and notification of local residents.

D. General Emergency Releases, or potential releases, of radioactive material requiring pro-tective measures for local residents.

Notification Information Ifan emergency occurs, P VNGS operators would immediately notify federal, state, and Maricopa County emergency officials. These organizations are prepared to respond according to the Emergency Plan.

Ifit is necessary to warn the public, you willhear a siren:

Ifyou should hear the siren, tune to local radio 1.

or television stations for information and instructions or NOAAweather radio frequen-cies 162.400 and 162.550MH3. The stations will keep you informed, and state and local officials willrelay protective instructions and recommendations to you. The action you will be asked to take will depend on the nature of the emergency.

NOTE: Siren tests willbe conducted periodically to meet NRC requirements.

Tests willlast one minute or less. Emergency warnings willlast 3-5 minutes.

Contact your neighbors to make sure they are 2.

aware of the emergency, but use yotrr phone as little as possible. We need to leave the phone system open so that emergency calls can get through.

There are a number of protective actions you can take under the direction of state, county and local governmental authorities to ensure maximum pro-tection from excessive exposure to radiation in the event of a nuclear accident. Depending upon the magnitude ofthe accident, government officials may direct implementation of one, or a combination of the following protective actions.

n u

n u

tion to implement since, in most cases, your home ifl provide adequate shelter from radiation. A "shelter-in-place" announcement means "stay in-doors" or "get indoors." Ifyou are outside at the time shelter is recommended, head for home immediately p or for nearer shelter, ifyou'e too far from home.

Wherever you take shelter, however, even ifyou are in a car, take the followingprecautions to reduce the risk of excessive radiation exposure:

ake sure the doors and windows are shut and tightly sealed.

Turn offthe combustion heating or cooling system ifit's bringing air in from the outside.

Take a radio or television and move to the 3.

basement ifyou have one; ifnot, stay away from the doors and windows.

Keep everybody (including pets) inside. Stay 4.

calm and tune to a local radio or television station for further instructions.

Refer to the "Evacuation" section in this book-5.

Iet for information on evacuation routes and Reception and Care Centers in the event instructions are given to evacuate.

Ifyou are not within the hazard area, do nor 6.

enter it. You willbe informed when it is safe to re-enter the area.

Ifyou must go outside, place a handkerchief or 7.

a protective mask over your nose and mouth.

Limityour time outside as much as possible.

Selective Evacuation: Involves a specific segment of the area population. Selective evacuation would be implemented ifthe severity ofthe situation warrants the evacuation of those people who are uniquely sensitive to radiation. It is designed to limitthe exposure of pregnant females and children to age 18, because embryos, fetuses and the young are more sensitive to radiation than adults.

Evacuation: Implemented only when other protec-tive actions cannot assure an appropriate level of protection from the anticipated hazard. This action is far less likely to be called for and, in many cases, would be directed after a period of sheltering-in-place. Simply stated, ifyou are required to evacuate, you will be directed to move out of the area of risk and into designated Reception and Care Centers in locations well outside the hazard area.

Ifyou'e been directed to evacuate, do not hesitate or waste time trying to take afl your possessions with Stay calm; you are a lot more likelyto get hurt by rushing than by the release of radiation.

Gather your familytogether; children attending school willbe moved, under adult supervision,

, to a Reception Center where they may be joined by their families. Local radio and tele-vision stations willcarry bulletins that indicate where parents can go to pick up their children.

3.

Pack only essential items (see checklist).

4 Turn offgas, electricity, and water to the same extent as ifyou were leaving for a week.

5, Lock the windows and doors.

Do not get on the road with a car in poor 6.

running condition or one that has a nearly empty gas tank. Car pool with a neighbor or call your Maricopa County Department of Civil Defense and Emergency Services at 273-1411, ifyou need assistance.

Keep your house pets, (small animals, birds, 7.

etc.) indoors and leave them unless you have plans to stay with friends or relatives outside the affected area. Reception and Care Centers willno/ accept pets. Ifyou do have a place to take them other than the Reception and Care Centers, remember to take leashes,

dishes, carriers, etc., and a supply of pet food.

lfyou have livestock, shelter them, and ifpos-8.

sible make provisions for feeding and watering them. Stored feed should be used ifpossible.

As soon as i'4 is safe;you will be permitted to return and care for them.

Know where you are going...which routes 9.

are open, where yon can stop for the night, etc (refer to map).

During your absence from home or business, 10.

local law enforcement officials will patrol the area to protect property. Unauthorized per-sons will not be permitted in the evacuated areas.

Remember, an evacuation may not be the initial protective action you are required to take. The first information may advise you that your area is not affected, that you should stay indoors, or that other actions should be implemented.

Follow the instructions.

Words to the Wise:

Preparing for Emergencies Since you may have to leave your home on short notice for any one of a number of emergencies such as nuclear accidents, flooding and chemical spills, you can do several things now to make it easier later.

Here are four ways to prepare yourself for any emergency.

Col ect your in a safe pla portant papers and store them Make a list ofthings you willneed to take with 2.

you ifdirected to leave your home, and make sure you always have them on hand (see sug-gested list below).

Set aside a place for emergency items that you 3.

intend to take with you such as prescription medicines, flashlight, extra batteries, extra sets of car keys, first aid kit, and fire extinguisher.

Keep your car in good running order and fueled.

For the Disabled Special provisions have been made to provide care and transportation for the disabled. It is important that you let your needs be known as soon as possible, so contact your Maricopa County Department of Civil Defense and Emergency Services, at 273-1411, Things You May Want to Take Medical Supphes I

This brochure is part ofthe emergency planning for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generat-ing station. Taking part in this planning are the Arizona Division ofEmergency Ser-vices, the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency, the Maricopa County Depart-ment ofCivilDefense and Emergency Services and Arizona Public Service Company. These offices can provide more detailed in-formationforresidents living within the 10 mile radius of the Palo Verde Nuclear Gen-erating Station.

Dear Resident:

This brochure is part of an extensive, on-going program by the State of Arizona, Mancopa County, and Arizona Public Service Company to ensure the safety of persons living near the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. The actual risk posed by Palo Verde is very smalL However, since radioactive materials are involved in the production of electricity at Palo Verde, an onsite emergency plan has been prepared by Ar-izona Public Service Company. [n addition, an offsite emer-gency plan has been developed by the State of Arizona and Maricopa County Governments, in cooperation with Arizona Public Service Company, to provide area residents with max-imum protection in the event of an accident invo[vmg the release or potential release of radiation.

This brochure contains information about both Palo Verde and the emergency plan, Bnd replaces the previously distrib-uted Emergency Brochure. Please read it at your earliest con-venience, Bnd keep it with your other important reference papers.

Ifyou have any questions or would like additional infor-mation, please feel free to call the Arizona Divwon of Emer-gency Services at 273-9880, Maricopa County Department of Civil Defense vnd Emergency Servcies at 273-[4((, Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency at 255-4845, or Arizona Public Service Company at 27[-2554.

Government Agencies

1. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Department ofEnergy (DOE): This federal agency is responsible for coordinating the radiologi-cal, technical assistance provided by various federal agencies assisting offsite response. The Department is the single point ofcontact for requesting federal tech-nical assistance.

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA):This executive agency serves as the single point of contact with the federal government for administering emergency management pmgrams.

FEMA's role is to assist state and local governments in developing emergency management capabilites through the administration ofjoint cooperative emer-gency management programs. Major program objec-tives include the development ofstate and local capabilities to manage various life-threatening emer-gencies and coordination of federal assistance during recovery fmm the effects of such emergencies.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC): This federal commission is responsible for the establish-ment ofonsite emergency management standards for the regulation and inspection ofnuclear power plants to assure the public safety and health.

B. STATE GOVERMNENT Arizona Division ofEmergency Services (ADES): The Division, by state statute, is responsible for coordinating development of Arizona's offsite emergency response plan. In the event of a serious accident involving a state declaration of emergency, the Division, acting in accordance with the plan, will coordinate state and local agencies'mergency actions. These actions may include radiological con-tamination control of substances within a reasonable vicinityof a nuclear facilitythat could aflect the pub-lic health and safety.

Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (ARRA):The agexxcy has the primary responsibility for the development ofthe radiological aspects of the offsite emergency response plan. In the event ofan emergency, the agency willevaluate the radiological hazards and recommend subsequent protective actions based on plant condition, release data, dose assessment, and dose pmjections. The calculated, assessed information and recommended protective actions are cross-checked with the APS emergency response coordinator prior to submission to the Gover-nor. The Agency also initiates and performs offsite emergency radiological monitoring and provides health physicist support in response to requests from state and county agencies responding to the emer-gency. ARRA provides laboratory services to monitor the environment around Palo Verde to ensure the public's health and safety. ARRA initiates requests for additional necessary federal assistance.

BI. LOCALGOVERNMENT Maricopa County Department of CivilDefense and Emergency Services (MCDCD&ES)iThis department is responsible for coordinating and assist-ing in the development of the offsite response plan. In the event ofa serious accident involving a state decla-ration of emergency, this agency, acting in accordance with the plan and the Arizona Division of Emergency Services, willdirect and coordinate the response of county government agencies and volunteer services.

The county's protective actions in the vicinityofthe nuclear facilityto protect the resident population of the area from excessive exposure ifradioactive mate-rials are released to the atmosphere.

Radiation Cosmic rays Air The Earth 45 15 Radioactivity is a characteristic ofcertain elements in which energy is given offspontaneously in the form of waves or particles. The majority ofradiation types emitted by a nuclear reactor are alpha, beta and gamma.

~ Alpha radiation is the least penetrating type of particle. It can be stopped by a sheet ofpaper.

~ Beta radiation is also in the form ofparticles. It can be stopped by thick cardboard or alumi-num foil.

~ Gamma radiation consists of electromagnetic waves emitted from a nucleus, and is essentiafl3s the same as X-rays. It can be stopped by heavy shielding such as lead or concrete.

The release ofradiation is very unlikely but it could happen. Ifan accidental release does occur, it could be harmful. You willbe notified with time to take protective actions (see notification information).

Follow the instructions completely to ensure your health and safety.

Indian School Road 9419 West Van Buren, Ibfleson 308 N. Martin Avenue, Gila Bend In the unlikely event of a serious emergency at the Palo Verde nuclear plant, the possibility that everyone in the entire EPZ would be affected is very remote. The severity of the accident, and weather conditions such as wind speed and direction, would determine the areas affected. Should it become necessary to evacuate some residents within the EPZ, the American Red Cross willopen Reception and Care Centers (RCC).

Martin Avenue, Gila Bend Van Buren/Harquahals Valley Road NOTE: Ifyou evacuate to an area other than the des-ignated Reception and Care Center, please contact the Arizona Chapter of the American Red Cross 264-9481 (256-3958 after business hours). Then, ifinquiries come fmm concerned family members, the Red Cross willbe able to contact you easily.

Emergency Plan The Plan is a result ofArizona Public Service Com-pangs commitment to safety and the statutory obli-gation of government to provide for the protection and the health of those livingwithin the area surround-ing Palo Verde.

The Emergency Plan is a step-by-step plan for tak-ing protective action, including the possibility of warning and evacuation ofall persons within an Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).

Emergency Instructions Nuclear Generating Stations Cannot Explode.

Ifthere is an accident, there willbe time to take pre-cautionary measures.

Also, depending on weather conditions, only limited areas may be affected. If there ever is a problem and you receive a public warning:

Keep calm at all times. Panic is your greatest enemy.

Go indoors and stay inside until you are instructed to do otherwise.

Stay tuned to your local radio or television stations for information and instructions.

Do not use the phone. Keep the circuits clear for emergency situations.

Cold Shutdown: The condition ofthe reactor when it is shut down and no longer operating. The coolant water in the reactor is below the boiling point.

Control Rods: Rods made ofa neutron-absorbing material which, when inserted into the reactor core, control the rate ofthe nuclear chain reaction.

When fullyinserted, these mds willstop the nuclear reaction.

Control Room: The room from which all the major systems of the nuclear plant are operated, monitored and controlled.

Core: The central part ofthe nuclear reactor. This is the area where the uranium fuel is fissioned which creates the heat for the steam process.

Criticality:The point at which the nuclear fuel can sustain a chain reaction.

Decay Heat: Heat produced by the nuclear fuel after the reactor has been shut down.

Dosimeter: A device used to measure total doses of radiation exposure. These are worn by everyone enter-ing a radiation-producing area.

Emergency Core Cooling System: A series of backup systems designed to provide cooling water to cool the reactor in case the primary cooling system is unable to function.

Emergency Planning Zone (EPZR Defined area surrounding the plant for which emergency response plans are developed. These areas are subject to local authorities recommending some protective action, such as sheltering or evacuation, in case ofa plant emergency.

Engineered Safety Features: Systems to prevent or-lessen the consequences ofan accident at the nuclear plant. Parts ofthese systems are tested periodically throughout the year.

Fissionable Materials: Special forms ofelements which can sustain a chain reaction. Palo Verde uses Uranium 235 as the fissionable material'in the fuel assemblies.

Fission Products: The atoms of new elements that are formed after the uranium atom splits during the fissioning pmcess.

Fuel Assemblies: There are 236 fuel rods in each Palo Verde fuel assembly and 241 ofthese fuel assem-blies make up Palo Verde's reactor core. The fuel rods, which contain the uranium pellets, are 13.4 feet long.

The fuel rods are arranged in each assembly to allow water to flow around each rod and absorb the heat given offin the fission process.

Gieger Counter: An instrument used to detect and measure radiation.

BalfLife: The length oftime it takes for any radio-active substance to lose one-half ofits radioactivity.

The half-life may vary in length from a fraction of a second to many years, depending on the radioactive substance.

Meltdown: An accident in which all or part ofthe fuel core would melt.

Millirem:A unit used to measure radiation exposure I/1000th of a REM (Roentgen Equiva-lent Man).

Neutrons: Particles with no electrical charge that are found in the nuclei ofall atoms except hydrogen.

These particles can travel easily through most matter.

Some elements, such as boron, willabsorb neutrons easily and are called absorbers.

Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR): A type ofreac-tor in which the primary coolant water is kept under pressure so that it does not boil. This water goes through a heat exchanger that heats up a separate water system. This separate water system is not under a lot of pressure and boils into steam. This steam is then used to spin the turbine-generator that produces electricity.

Pressurizer: The tank of steam and water that con-trols the pressure in the reactor coolant system.

Primary Coolant: Water in the reactor system.

Reactor Trip or Scram: The rapid insertion of the control rods into the core ofthe reactor to stop the fission chain reaction. This is also known as a reactor shutdown.

Spent Fuel: Nuclear fuel that has been used in the reactor and can no longer economically sustain a chain reaction. Such fuel must be removed from the reactor and shipped to a federal storage area.

Shielding: The material within the nuclear plant that prevents or reduces the escape ofradiation.

Shielding can be steel lead concrete or water

1. Containment Building: A steel-lined reinforced concrete structure housing the reactor, the pres-surizer, the reactor coolant pumps, steam generators, piping and other equipment

2. Fuel Buildings A reinforced concrete structure located beside the containment and auxiliary build-ings, but physically separated from them. The fuel building houses both the spent fuel pool and the new fuel storage area.

3. AuxiliaryBuilding: Houses equipment and lab-oratories for operation ofthe plant, safety systems and.backup systems.

4. Turbine Building: Contains the secondary (non-radioactive) system of water. Housed in this building are the steam turbines, the electric generator, the condenser system, and other turbine auxiliary systems.

5 Control Building The control building Is a mc tangular, multilevel, steel framed structure with a reinforced concrete shell. The control building pri-marily houses the control room, computer room, upper and lower cable spreading rooms, switchgear and battery rooms.

How a Nuclear Power Plant Works In most power plants, steam is required to produce electricity. In fossil-fueled electric plants, the heat source used to create the steam is the combustion of natural gas, coal, or otl. At Palo Verde, heat willbe produced by sphtting uranium atoms, a process known as fission.

The heated water is then pumped through a steam generator and back to the reactor. The steam genera-tor takes heat from the reactor water to make steam from the water in the second closed-loop system. This steam is used to spin the turbine-generator, which produces electricity The spent steam is then con-densed back into water and is returned to the steam generator to be used over and over again.

PRESSURIZED WATER R EACTDR Containment Structure Steam Steam Generator Steam Line Control Rods Turbme Generator Condenser Ccclilic Water Once the heat is produced in a nuclear plant, the generating process is essentially the same as in fossil plants. Heat turns water into steam. The steam drives a turbine that turns a generator that produces electricity.

The atom-splitting process takes place inside a nuclear reactor which acts like a boiler in a fossil plant. A tiny sub-atomic particle called a neutron strikes the nucleus of a uranium atom, splitting it into fragments. This nfissioning" process creates heat and releases more neutron, which in turn collide wit)iand split other uranium atoms, thus producing more heat. The process continues as a carefully controlled "chain reaction."

The type of reactor at Palo Verde is a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), which features two separate closed-loop systems'he primary system and the secondary system. In the primary system, water is pumped through the core of the reactor and heated by the nuclear fuel to about 620 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the reactor vessel is pressurized, the water doesn't boil Reactor Vessel
