LLNL Emergency Plan <br />Rev-22 <br />January 2017 <br /> <br /> 68 <br />A description of the PAG and AEGL criteria is provided in Section 7 of this Emergency Plan and <br />in associated plans/procedures. <br />5.2 Criteria for Operational Emergencies Not Requiring Further Classification <br />In some cases, an event may occur that, while it does not meet the criteria for a classifiable <br />Operational Emergency, does pose a major concern for personnel health and safety, <br />environmental impact, or security. In general, an Operational Emergency Not Requiring Further <br />Classification is defined as either a hazardous materials event that does not meet the criteria for <br />an Alert, or a health and safety, environment, security, hazardous biological agent/toxin, or <br />offsite transportation event. <br />Examples of criteria used to define Operational Emergencies Not Requiring Further <br />Classification are provided in the table below. <br /> <br />Table 5.1 Potential Indicators for Operational Emergencies Not Requiring Further <br />Classification <br />Operational <br />Emergency <br />Category <br />Indicators <br />Health and <br />Safety <br /> Discovery of radioactive or other hazardous material contamination from past <br />NNSA operations that is causing or may reasonably be expected to cause <br />uncontrolled personnel exposures exceeding protective action criteria. <br /> An offsite hazardous material event not associated with LLNL operations that is <br />observed to have or is predicted to have an impact on an LLNL site such that <br />protective actions are required for onsite LLNL workers. <br /> An occurrence that causes or can reasonably be expected to cause significant <br />structural damage to LLNL facilities, with confirmed or suspected personnel <br />injury or death or substantial degradation of health and safety. <br /> Any facility evacuation in response to an actual occurrence that requires time - <br />urgent response by specialist personnel, such as hazardous material responders <br />or beyond LLNL's predetermined planned initial response for the facility. <br /> An unplanned nuclear criticality resulting in actual or potential facility damage <br />and/or release of radioactive material to the environment. <br /> Any non-transportation-related mass casualty event. <br /> Activation of the LLNL Disaster/Self-Help Plan. <br />Environment  Any actual or potential release of hazardous material or regulated pollutant to <br />the environment, in a quantity greater than five times the reportable quantity <br />specified for such material in 40 CFR 302. <br /> Any release of greater than 1000 gallons (24 barrels) of oil to inland waters, or <br />a quantity of oil that could result in significant offsite consequences
