LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) Rev 27 January 2022 9 1.3.2.2 Emergency Management Hazardous Materials Program At certain thresholds, as prescribed by DOE Order 151.1D, hazardous materials identified in the All-Hazards Survey must undergo a further quantitative analysis through development of an EPHA. For radiological classifications, Hazard Categorization of DOE Nuclear Facilities (DOE-STD- 1027-2018 Chg1), Attachment 1, Table A.1 is used for differentiating between Nuclear Facilities and Radiological Facilities. Radiological materials exceeding the quantities listed on the table are screened in for quantitative assessments and documentation in a facility EPHA. Chemicals must be quantitatively analyzed in the EPHA unless they may be excluded by criteria identified in DOE Order 151.1D or guidance formally issued by DOE Headquarters. For biological classifications, facilities and/or operations with agents in type and quantity as described in DOE Order 151.1D, Attachment 3 require an EPHA. Inventories of biological agents and toxins are assessed in accordance with the LLNL ES&H Manual, Document 13.1, “Biogovernance,” Document 13.6, “Safe Handling and Use of Biological Materials,” the LLNL Institutional Biosafety Program, and the requirements of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s standard, Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories. All buildings/facilities and/or operations requiring a documented EPHA are included in the Emergency Management Hazardous Materials Program. Additional information about the All- Hazards Survey and EPHA development process is found in Section 1.4.1.2 of this Emergency Plan. 1.3.3 Severe Event Response To prepare for severe events identified by the All-Hazards Survey, LLNL has developed an LLNL Disaster Response Plan that describes how LLNL and the ERO will respond to a large- scale or regional severe event (e.g., earthquake) impacting LLNL when, for a significant period of time, there may be limited or no immediate response from ACFD or other professional emergency response organizations. Disaster response is considered part of the LLNL Emergency Management Core Program because it covers all site facilities, regardless of whether significant hazards are impacted. During a severe event, such as an earthquake, where LLNL and local offsite emergency response resources are overwhelmed, the LLNL EOC would transition to disaster mode operations. Per the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS) contract with ACFD for fire services at LLNL, the primary LLNL-funded ACFD resources at LLNL would be restricted to onsite LLNL responses until released by the LLNL EOC. The LLNL EOC Operations Section would be responsible for prioritizing responses and dispatching these resources. Under the strategic objectives established by the ED for the operational period, the Operations Chief will dispatch institutional resources (e.g., ACFD, Facilities, ES&H, etc.) using a prioritization approach used in California under the State’s SEMS.
