ARMENIAN NUCLEAR POWER PLGENERAL INFORMATIONANT Armenian nuclear power plant consists of two blocks. Each forms 440 W power. General power formed is 880 MW. The first block was put in operation in 1978, the second block in 1980. Now works second block. Type of the reactor -270. Type of block - 440. Territory of the nuclear power plant is 24 Ha, seismicity 8 ball, absolute elevation 934.5 metres, distance from the State border 16 km. It is located on territory of Armavir marz of the Republic of Armenia, 28 km west from Yerevan, 8.5 km north-east from Armavir city.

NATIONAL AUTHORITIES According to decision of the Republic of Armenia Government No 2328-N, dated December 22, 2005 "About approving the national plan of protection of the population in events nuclear or radiation damages on Armenian Nuclear Power Plant, national authorities are: Armenian Rescue Service, Ministry of Emergency Situations, MES OF ARMENIA State Atomic Control under the Government of the Republic of Armenia THE DUTIES OF THE ARMENIAN RESCUE SERVICE Organization of the notification body for state management and population. Development of decisions drafts for organization of the population protection. The co-ordination of the work for protection of the population. Realization of fire-prevention safety. Organization and realization of emergency radiation monitoring. THE DUTIES OF STATE ATOMIC CONTROL UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA 111

Estimation situations on Nuclear Power Plant and adjacent territory based on data of the radiation monitoring from NPP. Forecasting of the situation change based on the estimation. On base of the estimation of the situation and forecast of the probable change granting the offers to Armenian Rescue Service offers about organizations of protection of the population. RISK ASSESSMENT Categorization of possible situation Local damage In ANPP local-level damage occures. Threat of local-level damage on ANPP is real (the reason: technological malfunction or wrong action of the personnel). Threat of local-level damage on ANPP is real (the reason: external influence or wrong command from management centre). Technological parameters come out of safe exploration mode. ANPP technological process disturbing accident (the fire, blast) has occurred and/or there is threat of the external influence on ANPP. RISK ASSESSMENT Categorization of possible situation The General damage On ANPP has occurred dangerous level damage. Dangerous level damage on ANPP is real (the reason: technological malfunction or mistake of the personnel). Dangerous level damage on ANPP is real (the reason: external influence or wrong command from management centre). ACTIONS UNDER EMERGNSY SITUATION In events of the damages there are two action zones on ANPP: 5 km zone - zone of pre-attack protective measures (ZPPM) 10 km zone zone of implementation of urgent protective measures (ZIUPM) 112

In these zones the population notification is conducted, measurements of iodine preventive maintenance, sheltering and evacuation of the population, animal and material valuables are provided. THE OPTIMAL LEVEL FOR URGENT PROTECTIVE MEASURES INSTALLATION ON EMERGENCY BORDER Sheltering - when in current two days possible to get the dose equivalent 10 mSv. Sheltering of the population must not be more than two days. Evacuation - when during 24-hour period is possible to get the dose of 50 mSv. Blocking the thyroid gland (iodine preventive maintenance) - when as a result of absorptions possible dose of the radioactive iodine for thyroid gland is 100 mGy. Temporary overirradiation - if during emergency interference is expected of 30 mSv/month, and following five months 10 mSv /month. Constant overirradiation - forecasted dose during one year will be more, than 1Sv. THE TIME FACTOR OF IODINE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE EFFICIENCY FOR PROTECTION OF THE THYROID GLAND Rules and dose of the using the stable iodine Rules and dose of the using the stable iodine weakening penetrations of the iodine - 131, %

Disposable penetration I -131 in organism at breath, under disposable receiving the tablets KJ -130mg or KJO3 170mg (equivalent 100 mg iodine)

Until 48 hours. Until 36 hours. Until 24 hours. Until 8 hours. Until 6 hours.
