SECTION A -- INTRODUCTION
EMERGENCY ASSIGNMENTS
The following persons or their representatives are assigned
to the emergency staff positions as followed:
l - Emergency Control Officer Director of Aviation
Easterwood Airport
2 - Fire Control Officer Fire Chief
College Station Fire Deparment
3 - Security Officer Director of Security
Texas A & M University
4 - Civil Defense Civil Defense Director
Brazos County Civil Defense
It will be the responsibility of each staff officer to
appoint a qualified person to act in his behalf during
periods when he is not available at his regular post of duty
to receive notifications or warning defined herein. The
person so delegated will be expected to perform in accordance
with the duties assigned to that officer appropriate to the
condition and in an expeditious manner.
OPERATIONAL LINE OF SUCCESSION
In the event that for any reason, the Emergency Control
Officer is unable to perform his functions during an
emergency his authority shall be exercised by the t-ire
Control Officer and so on according to the order given under
"Emergency Assignments" of this section. Each officer listed
shall also develope an operational line of succession within
the emergency team which he heads.
All transportation modes in the present day exist and operate
in an atmosphere of potential emergency, and the aviation
industry is no exception. Adequate pre-planning for actions
to be taken when emergencies arise, the assignment of
specific personnel actions and insuring the availability of
the equipment and facilities will afford the best means of
minimizing loss of life and property and of restoring airport
operations to normalcy. While there is a manifest willingness
on the part of most people to take action to save lives in an
• emergency, there are certain technological factors that must
be considered to insure an orderly and effective approach
that will not endanger additional lives
Aircraft accidents often draw large crowds of people that can
hamper the activities of the trained emergency personnel If
the mishap is due to sabotage vital evidence may be
destoyed If the accident involves radioactive materials,
bystanders may be contaminated It is imperitive that
security measures be implemented to keep unauthorized persons
away, provide freedom of movement for authorized personnel
and allow resumption of the airport operations as soon as
possible
8-3
`
Arrangements should be made to admit bona fide
representatives of the news media to the site of the
emergency provided it can be done without hindering the
operations of emergency personnel.
Announcements on the radio or television that an aircraft is
in difficulty may result in large numbers of people going, or
trying to go, to the airport to witness the occurrence In
the past this has resulted in traffic jams that deny passage
of emergency vehicles, a heavier work load for police
officers, and endangering of the general public
Consideration should be given to seeking an agreement in the
public interest to withhold announcement of this emergency
for at least 30 minutes so that emergency vehicles and
personnel can take their assigned positions and control can
be established at airport entrances
In general, responsibility for news releases concerning an
emergency should be that of:
1 - The airline representative for an accident involving an
air carrier aircraft.
2 The senior military officer present or the public relation
officer of the installation on which the aircraft is based
for an accident involving military aircraft or nuclear
weapons
3- Representitives of the AEC if radioactive materials other
than nuclear weapons are involved
4- The airport manager or his representative for emergencies
not covered by the above.

SECTION I -- RADIOLOGICAL ACCIDENTS
CONDITIONS
Two situations are covered by this section: The accidental
release of radioactive materials in commercial shipments and
accidents involving aircraft carrying nuclear weapons
COMMERCIAL SHIPMENT
If a container breaks or spillage occurs, the possible spread
of contamination by vehicles moving through the radioactive
area or by people tracking about are the primary problems If
radioactive material is distubed or if winds or a thermal
column from an aircraft fire are present, the radioactive
material can become airborne and can be carried some
distance
NUCLEAR WEAPONS
In an aircraft accident involving a nuclear weapon several
hazards may be present that do not occur in the commercial
shipment of radioisotopes Blast of varying degree may occur
as a result of the detonation of the high explosives in the
weapon; toxic or caustic fumes may be given off by burning
high explosives; larger quantities of radioactive material
may be scattered; and radioactive plutonium oxide may be
carried over considerable distance by smoke. Detonation of
the high explosives and the presents of toxic or caustic
gases are things with which the well trained fire fighter
should be familiar. The following therefore will deal
primarily with the radiological aspects of the problem The
aircraft commander will so notify the tower if the aircraft
has a nuclear cargo aboard and an emergency landing is to be
made at the airport
TOWER
I - Notify the Emergency Control and the Fire Control Officer
of any inflight radiation emergencies on aircraft intending
to land at the airport This will apply to both military
aircraft carrying nuclear weapons or any other aircraft
carrying radioactive material in any other form or container.
2 - If the aircraft is airborne, clear it to land as far away
from other aircraft operations and facilities as possible
Close the airfield to other traffic as required.
3 - Do not authorize other aircraft to land, takeoff, or taxi
through a contaminated area to avoid spreading the
contamination.
4 - Relay the aircraft commander's message to the Emergency
Control officer or to the Fire Control Officer. This message
will be an unclassified transmission and will advise:
A - That the cargo is dangerous (which can be high
explosive bombs, nuclear weapons or components or other
cargo that may explode when exposed to fire or impact)
B - The location of the cargo estimated safe time for
fire fighting should explosives become enveloped in flames,
and any other known specific precautionary requirements.
E�mplg one engine out, four personnel all forward
have dangerous cargo forward section of cargo compartment;
8-23
^
isolated parking required; if explosives become enveloped in
flames, detonation can be expected after 10 minutes;
withdrawal distance is 2,500 feet; all personnel required to
participate in fire fighting and rescue operations must wear
protective clothing and self contained breathing apparatus
EMERGENCY CONTROL OFFICER
1 - If an aircraft accident/crash occurs, notify the U.S.
Atomic Energy Commission and ask for radiological assistance
Calls may also be made to the AEC/DOD Joint Nuclear accident
Coordination Center, Albuquerque New Mexico (505-264-4667)
2 Public announcement of a radiological accident or nuclear
weapons accident should be made by the Emergency Control
Officer unless the:
A - Courier accompaning the shipment is available to
make the announcement
B - The aircraft commander is available to make the
announcement
Such releases must never disclose classified information,
must be consistent with the preservation of national
security, and should reveal the presence of a nuclear weapon
only when it will have significant value in maintaining the
public safety and in keeping people out of the danger area
FIRE CONTROL OFFICER
l - If an aircraft accident, or possbility of such is
involved, comply with appropriate procedures for Alert 2 or 3
as in Section E
2 - Establish safety precautions asrequired and needed
3 - Standby to render medical aid as necessary.

a cordon around the aircraft to prevent the entry by
unauthorized persons to the scene.
2 - If the A.E.C. special teams have not arrived by the time
that the fire is under control, all personnel who have been
engaged in the fire fighting and rescue operations including
the aircraft crew members, should be held at the perimeter,
unless immediate medical attention is required, until the
arrival of the teams
CIVIL DEFENSE
l - Monitor area for radiation if the container is not
intact or aircraft is involved in fire.
2 - Do not attempt to clean up the site of a radiation
