SPECIFIC TASKS: HOW:

1. Verify operational status of Remote HELP Monitoring System (RMS). RMS Instructions See TAB 2, Section 1.0 la. If there is no evidence of radiological telemetry being transmitted to the System Summary Screen:

(1) Have OSMAR verifk the operational status of the RMS equipment inside the Van.

(a) If the RMS equipment inside the OSCAR Van is fully operational, then continue Field Team monitoring in accordance with TAB C.

5. Notes on Communications between 5a. From the EOF to Nanticoke, cell phones the FTD and the Field Teams. are usually the best means for communications between the FTD and the Field Teams.

5b. South of Nanticoke the VHF Radio is usually the best means for communications between the FMD and the Field Teams.

5c. The hilly terrain of the monitoring area within the EPZ can cause periodic losses of a Field Tearns locational telemetry (i.e. the affected Field Team's location marker will not be displayed on the Mobile Survey Plot Screen).

(2) If the loss of locational telemetry persists despite the relocation of the Field Team, refer to TAB C.

6. Employ RMS Monitoring Strategy HELP RMS Instructions See TAB 2, Section 2.0
7. FTD must track Field Teams' Whole 7a. Immediately notify the DAST if a Field Body exposure by periodically Team member requires an extension or recording their SRD readings in the if team radiological control warrants FTD General Log. additional management attention.

TAB C EP-PS-247-C Revision 2 Page 1 of 4 MAJOR TASK:

Field Team Monitoring with RMS partially operational:

  • Loss of Locational Telemetry and/or
  • Loss of Radiological Telemetry Note:

This TAB provides guidance for the two most likely reasons RMS will be in a partially operational condition. The intent is for this guidance to be used in conjunction with the normal monitoring strategy specified in TAB B, TAB 2 and TAB 3.

If a different RMS deficiency occurs that also results in RMS being put-in a partially operational condition, consult with the DAST and DASU to determine a means of compensating for the deficiency to continue monitoring field conditions with RMS.

SPECIFIC TASKS: HOW:

1. Loss of Locational Telemetry. 1a. In the event you are unable to track a Field Team location on the Mobile Survey Plot Screen (MSPS):

(1) Manually track the Field Team location on the large area map in the EOF (2) Communicate monitoring location instructions via radio or cell phone using the location notation for the large area map in the EOF.

(3) Track and control OSCAR location using a smaller scale map as appropriate.

TAB C EP-PS-247-C Revision 2 Page 2 of 4 SPECIFIC TASKS: HOW:

1b. With the affected Field Team selected on the MSPS, the associated radiological data (Current Rate and Peak) will still be displayed on the left side of the screen.

In this case, reports generated by RMS will not contain:

(1) Location/sector data (2) Distance data

2. Loss of Radiological Telemetry. 2a. In this case, the-Field Team location marker will be displayed on the MSPS, but no radiological data will be displayed on the left side of the screen.

(1) Track Field Team location by monitoring the MSPS.

(2) Direct each Field Team to communicate the radiological survey data to you via radio or cell phone.

(3) Record the radiological survey data reported by the Field Team on the Survey Data Forn-RMS PartallyOperableand give to DAST.

HELP Survey Data Forn-RMS Partially Operable See TAB 7

3. Loss of both Locational and 3a. First hit the [P8] key (this will transfer the Radiological Telemetry. RMS display source from the EOF to the TSC via phone line). If this results in the recovery of radiological and/or locational telemetry, then the prior loss was due to a problem with the primary repeater between the TSC and EOF.

Continue management of Field Teams via TSC display NOTE:

Since all RMS data and commands are now being communicated via phone line, expect a short time delay with RMS operations.
