8 | Sec. 2. It is declared to be the policy of the General | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Assembly to protect
the people of the State of Illinois against | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | adverse health effects resulting
from radiological accidents | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | and incidents by establishing a mechanism for emergency
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | preparedness
to mitigate the effects of such accidents and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | incidents . The General Assembly finds that
it is appropriate | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||
9 | Sec. 8. (a) The Illinois Nuclear Safety Preparedness | ||||||
10 | Program shall
consist of an assessment of the potential nuclear | ||||||
11 | accidents and incidents , their
radiological consequences, and | ||||||
12 | the necessary protective actions required to
mitigate the | ||||||
13 | effects of such accidents. It shall include, but not
| ||||||
14 | necessarily be limited to:
| ||||||
15 | (1) Development of a remote effluent monitoring system | ||||||
16 | capable of
reliably detecting and quantifying accidental | ||||||
17 | radioactive releases from
nuclear power plants to the | ||||||
18 | environment;
| ||||||
19 | (2) Development of an environmental monitoring program | ||||||
20 | for nuclear
facilities other than nuclear power plants;
| ||||||
21 | (3) Development of procedures for radiological | ||||||
22 | assessment and radiation
exposure control for areas | ||||||
23 | surrounding each nuclear facility in Illinois;
| ||||||
24 | (4) Radiological training of state and local emergency
| ||||||
25 | response personnel in accordance with the Agency's
| ||||||
26 | Department's responsibilities
under the program;
| ||||||
27 | (5) Participation in the development of accident | ||||||
28 | scenarios
and in the exercising of fixed facility nuclear | ||||||
29 | emergency response plans;
| ||||||
30 | (6) Development of mitigative emergency planning | ||||||
31 | standards including,
but not limited to, standards | ||||||
32 | pertaining to evacuations, re-entry into
evacuated areas, | ||||||
33 | contaminated foodstuffs and contaminated water supplies;
| ||||||
34 | (7) Provision of specialized response equipment | ||||||
35 | necessary to accomplish
this task;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (8) Implementation of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel | ||||||
2 | Safety program
at nuclear steam-generating facilities as | ||||||
3 | mandated by
Section
2005-35 of the Department of Nuclear | ||||||
4 | Safety Law , or its successor statute
(20 ILCS
| ||||||
5 | 2005/2005-35) ;
| ||||||
6 | (9) Development and implementation of a plan for | ||||||
7 | inspecting and
escorting all shipments of spent nuclear | ||||||
8 | fuel, high-level
radioactive
waste, and transuranic waste , | ||||||
9 | and highway route controlled quantities of radioactive | ||||||
10 | materials in Illinois; and
| ||||||
11 | (10) Implementation of the program under the Illinois | ||||||
12 | Nuclear Facility
Safety Act.
| ||||||
13 | (b) The Agency
Department may incorporate data collected by | ||||||
14 | the operator of a
nuclear facility into the Agency's
| ||||||
15 | Department's remote monitoring system.
| ||||||
16 | (c) The owners of each nuclear power reactor in Illinois | ||||||
17 | shall provide
the Agency
Department all system status signals | ||||||
18 | which could initiate Emergency Action
Level Declarations, | ||||||
19 | actuate accident mitigation and provide mitigation
| ||||||
20 | verification as directed by the Agency
Department . The Agency
| ||||||
21 | Department shall designate
by rule those system status signals | ||||||
22 | that must be provided. Signals
providing indication of | ||||||
23 | operating power level shall also be provided.
The owners of the | ||||||
24 | nuclear power reactors shall, at their expense, ensure
that | ||||||
25 | valid signals will be provided continuously 24 hours a day.
| ||||||
26 | All such signals shall be provided in a manner and at a | ||||||
27 | frequency
specified by the Agency
Department for incorporation | ||||||
28 | into and augmentation of the
remote effluent monitoring system | ||||||
29 | specified in subsection (a) (1) of this
Section. Provision | ||||||
30 | shall be made for assuring that such system status and
power | ||||||
31 | level signals shall be available to the Agency
Department
| ||||||
32 | during reactor
operation as well as throughout accidents and | ||||||
33 | subsequent
recovery operations.
| ||||||
34 | For nuclear reactors with operating licenses issued by the | ||||||
35 | Nuclear
Regulatory Commission prior to the effective date of | ||||||
36 | this amendatory Act,
such system status and power level signals |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be provided to the
Department of Nuclear Safety (of which | ||||||
2 | the Agency is the successor) by March 1, 1985. For reactors | ||||||
3 | without such a license on the
effective date of this amendatory | ||||||
4 | Act, such signals shall be provided to
the Department prior to | ||||||
5 | commencing initial fuel load for such reactor.
Nuclear reactors | ||||||
6 | receiving their operating license after the effective date
of | ||||||
7 | this amendatory Act, but before July 1, 1985, shall provide | ||||||
8 | such system
status and power level signals to the Department of | ||||||
9 | Nuclear Safety (of which the Agency is the successor) by | ||||||
10 | September 1, 1985.
