Tab 2 EP-PS-222-2 AIR SAMPLER

  • Load air sampler head.

Obtain the following items from your kit:

- Air sampler head

- Sealed silver zeolite cartridge

- Particulate filter

- Disposable gloves

- Flexible sample line Place the particulate filter in the air sample head with the cross hatched side down.

Mark the outer (fuzzy) surface with a soft tipped marker.

Remove the silver zeolite cartridge from the bag and place in the air sampler head with the arrows on the cartridge pointed in the direction of air flow.

Load the head onto the flexible sample line attached to the air sampler.

  • Plug air sampler cord into wall outlet, verify that motor and air sampler are operable.
  • Check that flow meter ball is visible within the window of the flow check sticker.
  • Turn off and unplug air sampler and cover sample head with rubber glove.

GARDS UNIT Setup

  • Open GARDS case door, turn power switch OFF, (located on left side of case),

unplug power cord.

  • Locatefinstall the TEL-12A module, tightening the end screws.
  • Close case door. Locate GPS and radio antennae, and prepare for monitoring vehicle loading.

Shutdown

  • Tum power switch QF, disconnect antennae, remove TEL-1 2A module and store inside case.
  • Plug unit into 120 volt receptacle, turn power switch to ON.
  • Press TEST. (AC light must illuminate as a minimum.)

If any startup test on GARDS fails, notify the HPR/FTD for further instructions. This equipment supplies supplemental data and can be shutdown without affecting the capabilities of the Monitoring Team.

Tab 3 EP-PS-222-3 FIELD SURVEY INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIELD TEAMS NOTE: If either team member's dose approaches 800 mrem, immediately notify the Individual In control of the field teams (HP Radioman or Field Team Director). If a team member's dose approaches 80% of an extended dose limit (e.g., via revision of RWP #8002) or the survey meter exceeds 1000 mRlhr, the field team should retreat to a low dose rate area and notify the individual In control of the field teams before proceeding with surveys.

NOTE: Every effort should be made to minimize time in high dose rate areas.

1. Enter the Survey Meter HP# in the radiation survey section of the Survey Data Form, (TAB 1).
2. Using the Survey Meter (closed window), determine the highest dose rate within about 20 feet of the vehicle. Insure that the INTEGRATE/SLOW/FAST-switch is in the slow position, take a dose rate reading 3 feet above the ground and record this on the Survey Data Form.
3. Enter the time that this measurement was made on the Survey Data Form.
4. Record SRD readings for both team members on the Survey Data Form.
5. Transmit closed window reading and exposure data to the individual in control of the field teams as soon as possible.

Tab 4 EP-PS-922-4 AIR SAMPLING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Check that the particulate filter and cartridge have been properly loaded onto the sample head.
2. Check that the toggle switch is in "OFF' position and the glove is removed. Retain this glove to cover sample head after sample is completed.
3. With the engine running and headlights off, turn on the invertor and plug in the air sampler.
4. Extend the sample head outside vehicle facing up wind if possible.

NOTE: If there Is precipitation in progress, place the sample head inside the vehicle near open window.

5. Obtain a set of particulate and cartridge sample tags and verify that they have the same sample number. Fill out date, team, sector, and distance.
6. Obtain a stopwatch from the Emergency Monitoring kit and reset to zero.

NOTE: Some stopwatches are mechanical and may require winding. A wristwatch may be used if a stopwatch Is unavailable.

7. Start the air sampler and stopwatch. Record the start time and flow rate on the-sample tags.

NOTE: The sample flow rate for the nearsite (ALPHA, BRAVO) team air sampler Is fixed at 2 cfm.

8. After collecting a 10-minute sample, turn off the air sampler and record the stop time on the sample tags.
9. Cover the sample head assembly with a disposable glove, load equipment into vehicle, turn off the invertor, and exit the plume.
10. Retreat to a low background area.
a. Using a survey meter, locate an area well outside of the plume in which to count the air sample.

NOTE: You should be at least one sector away from the plume.

11. Spread a masslin wiping cloth or an equivalent type of covering over a clean area of the tailgate, to be used as a work area, and tape in place.
12. Enter the frisker and air sampler HP #s on the Survey Data Form.
