Reactor (RTR) EP<br />
• Due to the low power level (0.1 to 20 MW) and small amount <strong>of</strong><br />
radioactivity in the core, the radioactive release from an<br />
accident associated with most RTRs will not result in<br />
radiological doses to the general public exceeding the<br />
protective action guides (PAGs)<br />
• <strong>Emergency</strong> plans are required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix E<br />
• 10 planning standards (as opposed to 16)<br />
• EPZs range in size from the operations boundary for a reactor<br />
less than or equal to 2 megawatts to 800 meters for a reactor<br />
up to 20 megawatts<br />
• Guidance is found in Regulatory Guide 2.6 and endorses ANSI-<br />
15.16-1982, “<strong>Emergency</strong> Planning for Research Reactors”<br />
