It is not unusual to have more than one process apply to a given activity. For example, a change to a door that is a fire door, a security door and a secondary containment door would require an evaluation to the Fire Protection license condition, IOCFR50.54 (p) and a 50.59 screen. See Section 4 of the "50.59 Resource Manual" (RM) for additional guidance.

PURPOSE To outline the special procedures necessary to handle aii samples, perform analyses and interpret results during post accident conditions.

DISCUSSION During post accident conditions, system samples may be highly radioactive. Because of the potentially high radiation levels, these samples require special handling. This procedure outlines the special handling required. The RP Superintendent is responsible for implementation of this procedure.

During certain postulated accidents, the availability of on-site counting equipment may be compromised. In these instances, post accident samples may be counted at remote counting facilities. A determination will be made by the Operations Support Center Coordinator's Assistant, in conjunction with the Radiological Assistant at the Emergency Operations Facility/Recovery Center, as to the most appropriate altemative laboratory facility.

VYOPF 3536.01, Sample Accountability Log shall be utilized from the onset of emergency sampling and analysis to control the location of all emergency samples.

In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the scope of the procedure or program is not revised to include a different type of activity. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is an Emergency Implementing Procedure and is subject to CFR50.54(q) to determine if the changes decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and if they have the potential to affect our ability to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix E.

2.

Obtain a dose rate meter.

3.

Dose commitment limits have been established and should be adhered to for all Post Accident Sampling. Consult with the OSC Coordinator for specific instructions.

4.

The duty RP Supervisor shall evaluate the need for respiratory protection and evaluate whether or not extremity dosimetry and high range pocket dosimeters should be wom during sampling.

PROCEDURE INITIJALS

Perform pre-operational checks and determine the background count rate as per DP 4562.

2)

Position the sample in the counter and count for a minimum of 1 minute.

3)

If the net count rate is greater than 100,000 cpm:

a) obtain a new sample with less air volume, or b) assay the sample using portable dose rate meters as per step 4.c.
