There are numerous facilities, activities and situations in which radioactive or nuclear substances are handled, processed or stored in which there is a risk of uncontrolled or accidental release. The individual risk of such facilities is comparatively far lower than that of a nuclear power plant in operation, but in many cases it may involve appreciable risk to people in the environment, goods and the environment and, above all, to the the number of installations or activities presenting radiological risk. Therefore, the total risk may be significant, which makes it necessary to draw up the appropriate special plans.

In the event of accidents, the facilities or activities in which radioactive substances are handled, processed or stored may pose a risk to the staff of such facilities and to the population of the environment. On the other hand, the risks arising from the misuse, illicit and intentional use of such radioactive substances may also be considered.

The protection of persons and property against this type of risk is one of the objectives of civil protection.

The Basic Standard of Civil Protection, approved by Royal Decree 407/1992 of 24 April, provides in paragraph 6 of the risks that will be the subject of special plans in the territorial areas that require it. It expressly states that nuclear risk should be subject to a special plan, but does not mention radiological risk.

Since the final provision of Royal Decree 407/1992, of 24 April 1992, for which the Basic Standard for Civil Protection is adopted, provides that the Government, acting on a proposal from the Minister of the Interior and after the Commission's report National of Civil Protection, determines that other potential risks can be regulated through special plans (depending on the available knowledge on the scope and magnitude of its consequences), and considering that the risk Radiolabel should be the subject of a special plan, by Royal Decree 1564/2010, of 19 November, approved the Basic Guideline for Civil Protection Planning in the face of radiological risk.

This Guideline sets out the minimum criteria to be followed by both the Public Administrations and the holders of the nuclear and radioactive installations regulated by Royal Decree 1836/1999 of 3 December 2001. the Regulation on Nuclear and Radioactive Installations, as amended by Royal Decree 35/2008, is adopted, such as the holders of other installations or activities in which there may be exceptionally radiological risk, for the production, implementation and maintenance of the effectiveness of the special protection plans Civil society in the field of radiological risk, in the territorial areas that require it.

Likewise, the aforementioned Guideline lays down the minimum requirements to be met by the corresponding plans in terms of fundamentals, structure, organization and operational and response criteria, in order to provide for a design or a minimum national model which makes possible, where appropriate, coordination and joint action by the various services and administrations involved. It provides for a general structure of the civil protection planning integrated by the State Plan and the Plans of the Autonomous Communities, in which the Local Area Action Plans will be integrated.

In accordance with all this, the State Plan for Civil Protection in the Face of Radiological Risk has been developed and was reported favourably by the National Civil Protection Commission's plenary session at its meeting on 13 April. 2015, and by the Nuclear Safety Council on nuclear safety and radiation protection issues at its plenary meeting on 8 April 2015.

1. Object and scope

1.1 Background.

Knowledge and experience show that the use of nuclear and radioactive substances, which are increasingly widespread in our society for various purposes, inevitably implies the existence of risk to the (a) the general public, the goods and the environment, in particular the risks associated with the potential uncontrolled or unwanted release of radionuclides. Such accidental releases represent, due to the harmful effects of ionizing radiation on health in the event of exposure to them, a risk to the population of the environment of the facility or the area where they are stored or managed. those substances, the environment and the goods.

Technological developments have led to new uses of radioactive materials, and there has been a significant increase in the applications of radioactive substances.

A consequence of this development is the existence of a large number of medical or industrial facilities or activities involving the use of radiation or radioactive materials, in which they are handled, processed or stored. radioactive or nuclear substances; these substances are managed under very different circumstances, which is a characteristic risk to the society known as radiological risk.

Serious accidents with radioactive substances are manifested with the release of radioactive material, which is the emitter of ionising radiation, which can cause irreversible damage to the exposed population.

The preventive actions taken by the managers of these facilities and activities and by the whole of the Public Administrations constitute a first front of measures aimed at the reduction and control of this type of risk.

However, without prejudice to the preventive measures to be taken, it is necessary to provide for the mechanisms for the mobilization of the human and material resources necessary for the assistance and protection of the population in cases where prevention systems fail.

1.2 Legal basis and legal framework.

Law 2/1985 of 21 January on Civil Protection states that civil protection should be considered as a set of activities carried out in accordance with an orderly and prior planning. In Articles 5 and 6, this law provides for aspects relating to corporate self-protection in the centres, establishments and premises which may give rise to an emergency situation, which must have systems of self-protection with its own resources and the corresponding plan for the adoption of preventive measures and for action in the face of emergency situations.

In the development of Law 2/1985, of January 21, it is approved, by Royal Decree 407/1992, of April 24, the Basic Standard of Civil Protection. It provides for the preparation of Special Plans in paragraph 5 to deal with specific risks whose nature requires an appropriate technical-scientific methodology. Paragraph 6 states that Special Plans shall be the subject of, inter alia, the risk in nuclear emergencies associated with nuclear power plants and the risk in the transport of dangerous goods, including the transport of radioactive materials, but there is no mention of radiological risk. Furthermore, in paragraph 7.2 it provides that the abovementioned Special Plans shall be drawn up in accordance with the Basic Guidelines, which shall lay down the minimum requirements on the basis, structure, organisation, operational criteria, intervention and coordination instruments to be implemented by the government, as proposed by the Minister of the Interior and after a favourable report by the National Civil Protection Commission.

Also, Law 17/2015 of 9 July of the National System of Civil Protection, which will enter into force on 10 January 2016 and will replace the 1985 law, develops civil protection as a public security policy as well as the instruments of the response to different types of emergencies and disasters. In particular, when regulating civil protection plans, Article 15 (3) thereof, the development of Special Plans for the risk of accidents in installations or processes in which chemical, biological or chemical substances are used or stored is foreseen. nuclear or radioactive.

The second final provision of Royal Decree 407/1992, of 24 April, provides that the Government, on a proposal from the Minister of the Interior, following a favourable report from the National Civil Protection Commission, may determine, depending on the knowledge available on the extent and extent of its consequences, which other potential risks may be subject to Special Plans. Whereas the radiological risk should also be the subject of a Special Plan, by means of Royal Decree 1564/2010 of 19 November, the Basic Guideline for Civil Protection Planning for radiological risk (hereinafter referred to as Guideline) was approved. Radiation Risk).

In this Guideline, three levels of planning are considered: state, regional and local, and set the minimum requirements to be met by the corresponding plans in terms of fundamentals, structure, organization and operational and response criteria, in order to provide for a minimum national design or model that makes possible, where appropriate, coordination and joint action of the various services and administrations involved.

The Organic Law 2/1986 of March 13, of Forces and Security Corps, established in its article 11, between the functions of the forces and the State Security Corps to collaborate with the civil protection services in the cases of serious risk, disaster or public calamity, in the terms laid down in the civil protection legislation.

The Organic Law 5/2005, of 17 November, of the National Defense, established between the missions of the Armed Forces, together with the State Institutions and Public Administrations, that of preserving security and citizens ' welfare in the cases of serious risk, disaster, calamity or other public needs. Subsequently, through the Council of Ministers Agreement of 7 October 2005, the Military Emergency Unit was established to collaborate with the various administrations, agencies and institutions to deal with emergency situations in the country. appropriate conditions of high qualification and permanent availability, and to intervene immediately. By Royal Decree 1097/2011 of 22 July, the Protocol of Intervention of the Military Emergency Unit was approved.

Law 15/1980 of 22 April of the Creation of the Nuclear Safety Council established, in Article 2, the functions of that body in relation to the preparation, planning and response to radiological emergencies in the exterior of the facilities.

The Regulation of Nuclear and Radioactive Installations, approved by Royal Decree 1836/1999 of 3 December, and the Regulation on Health Protection against Ionising Radiation, adopted by the Commission, were subsequently adopted. Royal Decree 783/2001 of 6 July 2001.

Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom of 5 December 2013 laying down basic safety standards for the protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation, and repealing them Directives 89 /618/Euratom, 90 /641/Euratom, 96 /29/Euratom and 2003 /122/Euratom.

Decision 1313 /2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on a Union Civil Protection Mechanism.

Finally, the Law 8/2011 of 28 April 2011 has also been taken into account; measures for the protection of critical infrastructures and their subsequent development by Royal Decree 704/2011 of 20 May 2011 have also been taken into account. approving the Regulation on the protection of critical infrastructures.

1.3 Basic purpose and functions.

The purpose of this State Plan is to establish the organization and procedures for the actions of those State resources and services, and, where appropriate, other public and private entities, that are necessary for to ensure an effective response from the public authorities as a whole, in view of the different situations of radiological emergency, with repercussions on the population, in which the national interest is present, as well as the support mechanisms for the plans of autonomous communities in the cases that require it.

Consequently, they are the basic functions of the State Plan:

(a) The organizational structure that allows the management and coordination of the public authorities as a whole in situations of emergency declared of national interest, as well as providing for, in such cases, the procedures of mobilisation and action of those resources and services that are necessary to effectively address the needs created, taking into account the special characteristics of the social group of persons with disabilities for ensure their assistance.

b) The mechanisms to support the plans of the autonomous communities in the event that they so require.

(c) The mechanisms and procedures for coordination with the plans of those autonomous communities not directly affected by the disaster, for the contribution of means and resources of intervention, when those provided for in the Plans of the affected autonomous communities are insufficient.

(d) The system and procedures for information on activities and installations with radioactive materials, to be used for civil protection purposes.

e) A national data bank on state resources and resources, or assigned to the State Plan, available in radiological emergencies.

(f) The mechanisms for requesting and receiving, where appropriate, international aid.

g) The coordination and support plans and information systems needed in radiological emergencies.

h) The criteria for the activation of the State Plan and the declaration of the appropriate emergency situation.

For the purposes of the State Plan, any non-ordinary situation or event that requires the prompt adoption of measures to prevent or mitigate a radiological hazard to health and the health is understood by radiological emergency. human security, quality of life, property or the environment.

In ordinary emergencies, the State Plan plays a complementary role to the plans of the autonomous communities, remaining the latter under the direction of the competent bodies of these administrations. In the case of declared emergencies of national interest, the address becomes exercised by the holder of the Ministry of the Interior and the State Plan organizes and coordinates all the means and resources involved in the emergency.

The State Civil Protection Plan for Radiological Risk also plays a complementary role in relation to the Navy's Nuclear Emergency Plan (PENAR), so it is necessary to establish the organization and the procedures to facilitate proper coordination between them.

The present State Plan also plays a complementary role in relation to the National Plan for the Protection of Critical Infrastructures, and with the National Maritime Plan to respond to the pollution of the marine environment.

This State Plan has the character of Plan Director, as it establishes the general, organizational and functional aspects of the planning that will have to be concretized in the operational planning (coordination plans and support) and in specific procedures for action.

1.4 Scope.

The scope of the State Plan is any radiological emergency caused by accidents at:

(a) Nuclear and radioactive installations or activities governed by the applicable law and in the Regulation of Nuclear and Radiactive Facilities, approved by Royal Decree 1836/1999 of 3 December.

(b) Non-regulated facilities or activities in which there may be exceptionally radiological risk.

They are also within the scope of this State Plan:

(c) Exceptional events that originate in illicit activities and may result in a significant radiological effect in some part of the national territory.

(d) Emergency-driven emergencies in nuclear or radioactive installations located in foreign territory that affect or may affect the Spanish territory.

e) Emergency-driven emergencies in nuclear power reactors used in nuclear-powered vessels docked or anchored in Spanish ports or transiting through the territorial sea and adjacent area, and put in place risk to persons and property in the national territory.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this State Plan will not apply to the alleged marine pollution that will be governed by the provisions of the Royal Decree of Law 2/2011 of 5 September, which is approved to the recast text of the Law of Ports of the State and the Merchant Navy, and in the legislation complementary to the same regulator of the National System of response to marine pollution.

In the case of terrorist attacks on the use of radioactive materials, this State Plan will be activated within the framework of the anti-terrorist police security plan or protocol that is applicable.

Are excluded from the scope of this State Plan:

a) Emergencies included in the scope of the Basic Nuclear Emergency Plan.

(b) Emergencies produced during the transport of radioactive materials by road or rail, without prejudice to their application as otherwise provided for in the relevant civil protection plan.

(c) Emergencies produced in the transport of radioactive materials by sea, unless they occur in the port area.

All without prejudice to their possible application as planned by the corresponding civil protection plan.

1.5 Administrative bodies concerned with the Plan.

This State Plan concerns all the agencies and services belonging to the General Administration of the State that have between their powers or carry out functions in the field of foresight, prevention, control, monitoring and reporting of accidents involving radioactive substances, as well as the protection of citizens and the environment from such phenomena, and the Nuclear Safety Council.

Similarly, in the event of an emergency of national interest, the services and entities that are dependent on other Public Administrations may be involved in this State Plan, when they are included in the Special Plans. on Radiological or Territorial Risk of Autonomous Communities.

The Nuclear Security Council will be involved in this Plan in accordance with the functions conferred by Law 15/1980 of 22 April of the creation of the Nuclear Security Council and the Basic Guideline of Civil Protection Planning for Radiological Risk, approved by Royal Decree 1564/2010 of 19 November.

2. Organisation of information systems on radiological risk

The most important core of this type of risk is the set of facilities regulated by the Regulation on Nuclear and Radioactive Facilities, approved by Royal Decree 1836/1999 of 3 December, in which are normally used for nuclear or radioactive substances, with the exception of those installations in which radiation sources are used which are exempt or which have been approved for the type of radioactive apparatus in accordance with the provisions of the Annexes I and II), or in the second provision of this Regulation.

In addition to the above facilities, there are other non-regulated facilities or activities that may give rise to radiological risk situations, including the recycling facilities for elements. metal, many of which are attached to the Protocol collaboration on the radiological surveillance of metal materials

For the purposes of this State Plan, the identification of the radiological risk shall be carried out in accordance with the Basic Guideline for Civil Protection Planning against Radiological Risk.

2.1 Information system for risk knowledge.

The Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Emergencies, in collaboration with the bodies responsible for civil protection of the autonomous communities, the Nuclear Safety Council and those other bodies, agencies and entities of the General Administration of the State in order to provide relevant information, shall establish a system of information for the knowledge of the risk for the purpose of civil protection that allows obtaining and releasing the information more significant concerning:

(a) The dangers of a serious accident for persons, property and the environment, with radiological consequences or not, of those establishments falling within the scope of the Regulation of Nuclear and Radiactive Facilities, approved by Royal Decree 1836/1999 of 3 December, including the characteristics of its activity and the accidental scenarios provided for in the risk analysis studies.

(b) The self-protection plans for such establishments and, in any case, the general data relating to them referred to in Annex IV of the Basic Self-Protection Standard, approved by the Royal Decree 393/2007, dated March 23. This is without prejudice to compliance with the provisions on information affecting the security of the State in Royal Decree 1308/2011, Article 5 (1), in relation to the right of access to public information provided for in the legislation administrative.

c) accidents, with radiological implications, occurring in such establishments and in non-regulated facilities, which have or have been likely to have consequences for persons, property and the environment, including the assessment of such consequences.

d) The situations of radiological emergency which, having origin outside the national territory, affect this and which have been notified to our country, in application of the Convention on Pronta Notification of Accidents Nuclear, made in Vienna on 26 September 1986.

The Directorate-General for Civil and Emergency Protection will be responsible for maintaining the information system and will ensure that the competent bodies in the civil protection of the communities have access to it. autonomous, as well as the Military Emergency Unit and the Nuclear Security Council.

This system will form part of the National Catalogue of Installations or Activities that can give rise to situations of emergency by radiological risk and the Technical Guide for the development and implementation of the criteria radiological, whose preparation and updating is responsible for the Nuclear Safety Council, as established by Royal Decree 1564/2010 of 19 November, approving the Basic Guideline for civil protection planning in the face of radiological risk.

The system must be accessible to the National Critical Infrastructure Protection Center, as a complement to the National Strategic Infrastructure Catalogue that manages and guards the Center.

2.2 Radiation Alert Network.

The Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Emergencies will maintain a network of automatic measurement of gamma radiation in the atmosphere covering the entire national territory and to detect levels of radioactivity that may to exceed the limits deemed to be hazardous to health, in order to alert the competent bodies in the field of civil protection and, if necessary, to activate the corresponding civil protection plans.

The Radiation Alert Network (RAR) should also be used to monitor the radiological situation created both by an accident within the national territory and in the event of the accident. it would have taken place abroad, in proximity to our borders.

The results of the RAR measurements for the entire national territory will be periodically published by the Directorate General for Civil Protection and Emergencies.

For use in emergency situations the RAR will have terminals in the National Emergency Room, at the disposal of the State Plan and the State Coordination Committee, and in the Chamber of Nuclear Security Council Emergencies (SALEM).

The Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Emergencies will draw up a "Protocol of Notices and Information on RAR Measurements", which contains the procedures for transmitting information, in situations of normality and in emergency, directed to the bodies responsible for civil protection of the autonomous communities and to delegations and sub-delegations of the government, which will be approved by the Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior, prior to the report of the National Civil Protection Commission.

2.3 National Catalogue of Intervention Capabilities.

The national catalogue of intervention capabilities in radiological emergencies will collect and keep up to date the means and resources of ownership of the General Administration of the State that can be mobilized to attend emergency situations by radiological accident, as well as those other, whatever their ownership, that integrate the Coordination and Support Plans described in Annex I to this State Plan.

The preparation and maintenance of the catalogue will be carried out by the Directorate General for Civil Protection and Emergencies, with the collaboration of the bodies listed in Annex I, which have been assigned the coordination of the Coordination and Support.

The catalogue will be available to the State Coordination Committee in the event of an emergency and will include, among others, the following concepts:

The preparation and updating of the part of this catalogue relating to means of measurement of radiation will be coordinated by the Nuclear Safety Council and made available to the Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Emergencies for inclusion in the National Catalogue of Intervention Skills.

The part of this catalogue corresponding to the capabilities of the Armed Forces intervention will be in the custody of the Ministry of Defense, being made available to the State Coordination Committee, through the Directorate General of Civil Protection and Emergencies, in emergency situations that require it.

3. Phases and situations

The activation of the State Plan for Radiological Risk will be produced by the declaration by the Minister of the Interior of the appropriate operational situation, taking into account the magnitude of the consequences produced or foreseeable, the applicable protective measures and the necessary means of intervention.

In order to have the information to allow for the adoption of the relevant decisions, the Ministry of the Interior will be informed by the Nuclear Security Council, through the Directorate General of Civil Protection and In the case of the Commission, the Commission has taken the necessary measures to ensure that the safety and health of the individual Member States are not subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1 (1) of the Treaty. facilities, with the possibility of affecting persons, property or the environment, as well as on measures of protection that are recommended from the radiological point of view.

Government delegations and sub-delegations shall transmit without delay to the Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Emergencies the notifications received from the operators of the facilities affected by an accident, as well as all relevant information that is being obtained in relation to the event and its evolution forecasts.

For the purposes of the operability of this State Plan, the following Fases and Situations are established:

A) Pre-emergency phase.

At this stage the dangerous phenomena that accompany accidents with radioactive substances do not pose risks to the population, nor to the environment.

From an operational point of view, in terms of civil protection, it is fundamentally characterised by the monitoring of these phenomena and by the consequent process of exchange of information with the bodies and competent authorities in the field of civil protection, as well as information to the general public.

The following specific situation can be considered at this stage:

Situation 0: Situation where the risks are limited to the facility itself and can be controlled by the means available in the corresponding internal emergency plan or self-protection plan.

In the event that the radiological emergency is not associated with an installation or activity that has an internal emergency or self-protection plan, it will be related to those accidents that can be controlled by the media. available in the Autonomic Plan and, even in its most unfavourable evolution, pose no risk to the population.

By delegation of the Minister of the Interior, this situation may be declared by the Director General of Civil Protection and Emergencies.

B) Emergency phase.

This phase will start with the occurrence of accidents involving radioactive substances with the ability to affect or have already affected people, property or the environment, where the need for the the adoption of emergency protective measures, as specified in Annex III of the Basic Guideline for Civil Protection Planning to the radiological risk, approved by Royal Decree 1564/2010 of 19 November 2010.

The following situations will be distinguished at this stage:

Situation 1: Situation in which the risk to the population, the environment or the goods, although very unlikely, requires the adoption of protective measures, being able to be controlled with the means and resources corresponding to the plans of the affected Autonomous Community.

In this situation, in addition to the follow-up and information actions, the preventive alert is made for the organs of the General Administration of the State that may be involved, in case of unfavorable evolution.

By delegation of the Minister of the Interior, this situation may be declared by the Director General of Civil Protection and Emergencies.

Situation 2: The severity of possible conditions for the health and safety of the population, the number of people threatened or the extent of the affected areas, make it necessary to intervene in means, resources or services different from those attached to the plans of the affected autonomous community, so the intervention of the General Administration of the State in the contribution of such means, resources or services is required.

By delegation of the Minister of the Interior, this situation may be declared by the Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior.

Situation 3: There have been phenomena whose nature, severity or extent of the risks determine that the national interest is considered to be at stake, having been declared by the Minister of the Interior, in accordance with the provisions of the the Basic Standard of Civil Protection approved by Royal Decree 407/1992, of April 24.

C) Transition phase for return to normal.

consecutive phase of emergency, in which it may be necessary to implement long-term measures referred to in Annex II to this State Plan, which will continue until the conditions are restored. minimum requirements for the start of the return to normality in the population, the environment and the property of the areas affected by the accident.

At this stage, the declaration of emergency of national interest may continue to be in force, if it had occurred in the previous phase, until its cancellation by the Minister of the Interior on his own initiative or on a proposal from the Government delegate to the affected autonomous community or to the governing body of the community.

4. Organization

ANNEX II

Protection measures and radiological criteria

The radiological criteria for responding to the emergency situations in application of this Plan are those listed in Title II of the Basic Guideline of Civil Protection Planning for Radiological Risk. as well as in the CSN Technical Guide, for the development and implementation of the radiological criteria of the Basic Guideline for Civil Protection Planning for Radiological Risk.

1. Protective measures

As defined in the Basic Guideline for Civil Protection Planning for Radiological Risk, the protective measures are the actions aimed at avoiding or at least reducing the adverse effects of the ionising radiation on persons in the event of a radiological emergency.

These protective measures, as well as other actions to be carried out to deal with radiological emergencies arising from accidents or events in practices subject to or not to the system of authorisations established by the current Regulation on Nuclear and Radioactive Installations, they have the consideration of interventions for the purposes provided for in Title VI of the Regulation on Health Protection against Ionising Radiation and, therefore, the principles and general criteria set out in the same.

Depending on the urgency with which they are to be applied and the length of time to be applied, the protective measures are classified as: "urgent measures" and "long-term measures".

I. Urgent protective measures.

The term "urgent" is used to describe those protective actions that need to be taken quickly to be effective and whose effectiveness would be significantly reduced in case of delay. Decision-making on the adoption of these measures is to be carried out in a short time and on the basis of predictions on the evolution of the accident, since information on the magnitude and nature of the accident in these first cases is generally available. moments is scarce.

These are actions aimed at protecting the population effectively affected by the accident and the intervention staff, and aim to prevent deterministic health effects and reduce the likelihood of stochastics as much as it is reasonable to get.

They are measures that are, in principle, conceived to be applied over a short period of time.

Within urgent protective measures, there are three main ones that define the situations in which an emergency is classified: confinement, radiological prophylaxis, and evacuation. The remaining urgent protection measures are complementary to the previous ones: access control, self-protection and self-protection of intervention personnel, animal housing, decontamination of people.

The protection measure for food and water control is defined in the long-term measures section, although it can be adopted as a preventive measure, as an urgent measure, during the initial and intermediate phase of a emergency.

A. Confinement: It consists in the permanence of the population either in their homes, or in buildings close to the places where the adoption of the measure is announced, in order to avoid external exposure to the cloud. radioactive material and the material deposited in the soil, and the internal inhalation exposure of the radioactive substances. In addition, this measure serves as a means of controlling the population and facilitating the implementation of other protective measures such as evacuation and radiological prophylaxis.

The effectiveness of this measure depends on the type of construction of the buildings and can be improved if it is applied in conjunction with some of the measures of citizen self-protection, thus increasing the tightness of the buildings. buildings.

The advantages of confinement, as a protective measure, are related to the moment of implantation in relation to the phase of the accident and to the magnitude and radioisotopic composition of the emission.

After a period of time spent in the buildings, and once the cloud has passed, ventilation is necessary in order that the concentration of radionuclides in the air, which will have increased inside the buildings, will descend to the levels of the outside air, already relatively clean.

B. Radiation prophylaxis: It consists in the ingestion of stable chemical compounds which have a reducing effect on the selective absorption of certain radionuclides by certain organs. Both iodide and potassium iodate are effective compounds that reduce the absorption of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland.

To achieve the maximum reduction in the dose of radiation to the thyroid, iodine must be supplied before any incorporation of radioactive iodine and, in any case as soon as possible after such incorporation. Although the effectiveness of this measure decreases with delay, it is possible to reduce the absorption of radioactive iodine by the thyroid by half, approximately, if the iodine is administered after a few hours of inhalation.

Ingestion of iodine at recommended doses does not present a risk to the majority of the population; however, there may be iodine-sensitive persons and side effects, which in all cases are minor. importance.

The risk of side effects, which is reduced in the case of a single administration, will increase with the number of administrations. Therefore, provided that other alternatives are available, this action should not be repeated as the main protective means against ingestion of food contaminated by radioactive iodine.

Ingestion of iodine should be performed according to the instructions of the health authorities.

C. Evacuation: The evacuation consists of the movement of the population effectively affected by the passage of the radioactive cloud, gathering it and housing it in appropriate places not exposed, for a short period of time.

Evacuation can be performed at the various stages of an accident.

It is highly effective, to avoid radiation exposure, when it is possible to adopt it as a precautionary measure before there has been a radioactive substance issue or, if the emission has already begun, when the evacuation is done within unaffected zones.

D. Access control: Setting up access controls to areas affected by a radiological emergency is always justified.

The adoption of this measure allows: to reduce the collective dose, to reduce the spread of possible contamination and to monitor and control the personnel who intervene in the emergency and who must enter or leave the affected areas.

E. Citizen self-protection and self-protection of the intervention staff: Self-protection is understood as the set of actions and measures taken to prevent or reduce the exposure of radiation and the surface contamination or inhalation of particles dispersed in the air.

F. Decontamination of persons: When radioactive material is dispersed, the decontamination of persons and equipment and means that are contaminated will be necessary. The adoption of this measure avoids the increase of the individual dose and the spread of contamination to other people or places, which would increase the collective dose.

G. Animal housing: This measure is intended to protect people and their property through the confinement and food control of animals that are somehow entering the food chain in order to reduce the spread of possible contamination.

The adoption of this measure is not a priority, during the emergency, when its implementation may cause delay in the implementation of other measures (confinement, evacuation, etc.).

II. Long-term measures.

The purpose of long-term protection measures is, in general, to reduce the risk of stochastic effects on the health of the exposed population and of genetic effects in later generations.

Among the long-term protection measures are: food and water control, decontamination of areas, temporary relocation (medium-term shelter) and permanent transfer (rehoming).

A. Food and water control: It is a set of actions that aim to prevent the ingestion of radioactive material contained in products that enter the food chain.

When an area has been affected by radioactive material (or contaminated water) it is recommended, as a first measure, to prohibit the consumption of some food and water, as well as feed, and to replace them with other sources. of unaffected areas, until the results of the analysis of those areas are available.

After knowing such results, it may be decided: normal consumption, restricted or deferred consumption, treatment, mixing with other foods, or total prohibition.

The adoption of restrictions on the consumption of some food and water can be carried out, as a preventive measure, during the emergency phase in the areas affected by the radioactive cloud.

The definitive adoption of these protective measures will be carried out in the light of the levels of action determined by the Nuclear Safety Council for each case, which will consider the maximum permitted levels of radioactive contamination. for these products, following a radiological emergency, fixed by the European Union.

B. Decontamination of areas: Decontamination can be considered both a protective measure and a recovery measure. The protection measures are intended for the population effectively affected and the intervention staff, while the recovery measures are directed primarily towards the physical environment and the restoration of normal living conditions. Its aim is to reduce:

(a) External irradiation due to the radioactive substances deposited.

b) Transmission of radioactive substances to humans, animals and food.

c) Resuspension and dispersion of radioactive substances.

The optimal level of intervention should be established by taking stock of the value of the collective dose avoided through the decontamination and costs of the disposal, including those for the management of the wastes and those corresponding to the doses received by the personnel carrying out this measure.

C. Temporary transfer (half-duration hostel) and permanent transfer (rehousing): This is called the transfer of the population which, after the passage of the radioactive cloud, is subjected to exposures due to radioactive substances deposited on the ground and inhalation of radioactive particles dispersed in the air.

A distinction is made between temporary transfer (half-duration shelter) and permanent transfer (rehoming) depending on the provisional or definitive nature of the new settlement.

2. Intervention levels for population protection measures

The application of the protection measures to the population will be planned in order to prevent the population from receiving doses higher than those set out in the intervention levels set out in Annex IV of the Basic Guideline.

3. Emergency dose levels for the intervention staff

The intervention staff in radiological emergencies will be classified according to Annex V of the Basic Guideline, which sets the dose levels that should not be exceeded by each of the actuators. To do this, the actuators will be subjected to dosimetric surveillance during the intervention.

Additionally, personnel who have intervened in a radiological emergency will be subject to specific medical surveillance.

4. Areas of intervention

As specified by the Basic Guideline, the following emergency planning zones are considered:

Zone of urgent measures. The area in which certain protective measures need to be taken to prevent the actuators from receiving doses higher than those set for Group 2 (Annex V of the Basic Guideline), and for the population to receive doses higher than the levels of intervention for urgent protective measures (Annex IV of the Basic Guideline). This area shall comprise the area where the exposure rate is expected to exceed 5 mSv/hour.

Alert zone. The area where protection measures need to be taken to prevent the population from receiving doses higher than the intervention levels. This area shall comprise the area where the exposure rate is expected to exceed 100 μSv/hour.

Free zone. An area where protective measures do not need to be applied because the doses will be lower than the intervention levels.

In Annex VI of the Basic Guideline, practical criteria are laid down for setting the dimensions of these areas where radiological information is not available.
