LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) <br />Rev 27 <br />January 2022 <br /> <br /> 93 <br />Patients contaminated with radioactive or toxic materials are treated in Site 200’s HSD <br />decontamination area. This area is designed to protect the environment from contamination (see <br />also Section 4). Bioassay and whole-body counting equipment for radiological contamination <br />assessment is provided by the Radiation Protection Functional Area. <br />Equipment, instrumentation, and personal protective equipment for the support of radiological <br />incidents are housed at Sutter Tracy Community Hospital, Stanford Health Care-ValleyCare <br />Medical Center and Eden Medical Center in accordance with the MOUs, as well as at the main <br />HSD site. The Radiation Protection Functional Area is responsible for maintenance of this <br />equipment. <br />Medical supplies for the administration of chelation therapy for patients with internal <br />radiological contamination are stored in the Fire Department ambulances for transport to <br />Stanford Health Care-ValleyCare and Eden Medical Centers as well as at the main Health <br />Services site. This equipment and medication are supplied and maintained by the HSD. <br />9.4 Transportation and Evacuation <br />Injured personnel are transported from the scene to either Health Services or the appropriate <br />offsite facility (see Section 9.1 above) by LLNL-owned ambulance (two at Site 200; one at <br />Site 300) or private ambulance arranged by ACFD. Personnel with known or suspected <br />contamination are transported to the decontamination entrance of the HSD. <br />Critically injured and chemically-, biologically-, or radiologically-contaminated victims are <br />transported directly to Eden Medical Center by the Fire Department. Air ambulance service is <br />requested in accordance with Alameda County critical trauma protocols and ACFD emergency <br />operations policy and procedure by the IC. The ACRECC is responsible for dispatch of the next <br />available air ambulance. LLNL will provide equipment and expertise, as needed, at the receiving <br />facilities in support of chemically, biologically, or radiologically contaminated victims in <br />accordance with the MOUs. <br />Communication to the receiving facility is the responsibility of the initiating organization. LLNL <br />will communicate in accordance with the Alameda County Emergency Medical Services policy <br />and procedure, and will also notify the HSD of the transport. Medical staff at the HSD will <br />contact the receiving hospital regarding personnel transported from either medical facility. <br />Special evacuation procedures are not needed for HSD.
