GUIDELINES FOR JRMT CONTROL CAUTION Teams should not enter any portion of the plume where the gamma dose rates exceed 5000 mR/hr.
NOTES o Timely collection of initial centerline data is of utmost importance.
o Remember natural barriers such as John Redmond Reservoir and the Neosho River south of Burlington will prevent traversal of a plume in those locations.
A.1 Determine initial monitoring locations, and routes to those locations, based on projected plume location and ALARA considerations.
A.2 JRMTs should be deployed as soon as possible with appropriate equipment, supplies, and protective equipment.
A.2.1 At all times, each vehicle shall contain at least a dose rate meter, a radio, and a person trained in their use.
A.2.2 Two JRMTs should be sent out consisting of at least one Wolf Creek HP and one County technician on each team.
A.2.3 The remaining two HP and County technicians will assist in the activation of the EOF.
A.2.4 WHEN State Joint Radiological Monitoring Team members arrive, THEN these technicians will be added to the teams.
- a. The State vehicle is dispatched to the field as a Joint Radiological Monitoring Team vehicle.
Revision: 4 EMERGENCY TEAM FORMATION AND CONTROL EPP 06-011 Reference Use Page 19 of 31 ATTACHMENT A (Page 2 of 3)
GUIDELINES FOR JRMT CONTROL NOTE Shuttle vehicles used to get additional team members to the field should have a radio and a radiological meter.
- b. IF teams are already in the field when the State arrives, THEN the State vehicle may be used to deliver the remaining Joint Radiological Monitoring Team members to any vehicles in the field.
A.3 Assemble all equipment and prepare to take all samples and readings prior to entering the plume.
A.4 The Federal dose limit of 5 REM, is in effect for all team members and exposures greater than 5 REM must be pre-approved.
A.5 Prior to plume entry determine types of samples (e.g. direct reading, air, water) to be taken by JRMTs.
A.6 Direct teams to verify plume centerline and plume boundaries.
NOTE Approximately 3 centerline samples should be obtained during an approximate 6 hour6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> release, for a given wind direction. However, for a dose assessment, one centerline value may be sufficient.
A.6.1 Centerline sample(s) are obtained only if team personnel would not exceed their dose limits. IF team personnel would exceed their dose limits, THEN that activity should not be performed at that location until it is safe to do so.
A.6.2 IF the team has identified the centerline, THEN have them note distance from centerline to edge of plume.
A.6.3 IF a downwind subzone has been evacuated, THEN the primary objective is to monitor the plume edges to ensure the affected area does not increase in size.
After that is done a more detailed analysis of the plume can be undertaken.
A.7 Direct teams to low background areas for sample counting or when not performing monitoring functions. One team may be used solely as a counting station.
Revision: 4 EMERGENCY TEAM FORMATION AND CONTROL EPP 06-011 Reference Use Page 20 of 31 ATTACHMENT A (Page 3 of 3)
GUIDELINES FOR JRMT CONTROL A.8 Keep teams informed of plant status and meteorological conditions which may affect the teams.
A.9 As data is received from JRMTs, Wolf Creek and State Radiological personnel should coordinate to determine locations for additional monitoring/sampling.
A.10 Prior to dispatch, shift relief personnel shall receive a briefing, be properly equipped and dressed, then directed to an appropriate low dose location to relieve personnel going off shift.

Revision: 4 EMERGENCY TEAM FORMATION AND CONTROL EPP 06-011 Reference Use Page 21 of 31 l ATTACHMENT B (Page 1 of 8)
ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES NOTE Each sample obtained should have an EPF 06-011-06, SAMPLE CONTROL AND CHAIN OF CUSTODY, filled out with the pertinent information and attached to it. If GPS units are available, latitude and longitude readings should be taken at each sample site.
B.1 Plume Monitoring B.1.1 JRMTs should be self-directed in the "bumping" of the plume edge. That is, the teams should be on the move checking for the plume edge and its progression downwind.
B.1.2 The following rotation pattern is recommended for field team plume monitoring:
0 0
- 1. Team A monitors the far plume edge until directed to traverse the plume. They then deliver centerline samples to the Counting Station. Team A then replaces Team B.
- 2. Team B monitors the near plume boundary until Team A delivers centerline samples to the counting station. Team B then rotates to the plume front edge to replace Team C.
Revision: 4 EMERGENCY TEAM FORMATION AND CONTROL EPP 06-011 Reference Use Page 22 of 31 ATTACHMENT B (Page 2 of 8)
ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
- 3. Team C monitors the plume front edge until Team A delivers centerline samples to the counting station. Team C then rotates to the plume far edge to replace Team A.
- 4. The Counting Station maintains a "Clean" sample counting environment for the analysis of the centerline samples.
B.1.3 Team control with less than four teams should proceed as follows:
- 1. Two teams may be positioned just off the anticipated centerline at different distances from the plant. Once the near-plant team gets a reading, the teams should cross the centerline, determining centerline information, then take up plume edge determination positions.
- 2. When a third team becomes available, they should be used to monitor the leading edge of the plume.
- 3. Once a fourth team is available the rotation described in step B.1.2 should be used.
B.2 Exposure Rate Measurement B.2.1 Observe count/exposure rate instrumentation, when directed to conduct plume traverse/tracking as follows:
- 1. Hold the detector of the monitoring instrumentation inside the vehicle and above the lap.
o Measure the exposure rate with the beta shield open for a beta/gamma reading.
o Measure the exposure rate with the beta shield closed for a gamma reading.
B.2.2 If using an RO-2, or an equivalent meter, QUANTIFY the beta dose rate by subtracting the gamma reading from the beta/gamma reading and multiplying this result by a beta correction of four.
Revision: 4 EMERGENCY TEAM FORMATION AND CONTROL EPP 06-011 l Reference Use Page 23 of 31 l ATTACHMENT B (Page 3 of 8)
ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES NOTE Because of its greater sensitivity as a detector of beta/gamma radiation relative to a dose rate instrument, the count rate instrument will provide the first indication of radiation from a plume.
B.2.3 Upon observing a count rate or exposure rate above normal background, notify the applicable Team Communicator of your location.
B.2.4 Conduct further plume traverse/tracking only as directed. IF directed to begin traverse/tracking the plume, THEN identify and transmit the location of the maximum readings noted and plume boundaries.
B.3 Air Sample Collection B.3.1 Assemble a particulate filter (coarse side out) and a silver zeolite cartridge (flow arrow pointed at sampler) in the sampling head and install the head on the sampler.
NOTES o The vehicle must remain running while sampling is performed within the plume.
o Air sampling equipment should be assembled, bagged, and ready for use prior to entering the plume.
o If the vehicle does not have an installed DC connector, the air sampler may be connected directly to the vehicle battery using the clips provided in the Wolf Creek E-Plan kit.
B.3.2 Place the sampler so that a representative sample may be collected. Plug the sampler into the vehicle power supply outlet and start the sampler, noting the actual flow rate and starting time.
Revision: 4 EMERGENCY TEAM FORMATION AND CONTROL EPP 06-011 Reference Use Page 24 of 31 ATTACHMENT B (Page 4 of 8)
ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES NOTE Shorter sample times may be utilized to minimize exposure from excessive dose rates.
- a. Air sample flow rate should be set at 2.0 cfm for 10 minutes. Flow rates above 2.0 cfm reduce absorption of gases in the cartridge.
- b. Allow the sampler to run for the requested time (normally a 20 fts sample is obtained). Note the final flow rate, stop the sampler, and record stop time on EPF 06-011-03, AIRBORNE RADIOACTIVITY CALCULATIONS.
- c. After exiting the plume, remove the particulate filter and silver zeolite cartridge from the sampler head, bag and label, and if requested determine their gross activities.
B.4 Determination of Gross Particulate Activity B.4.1 Measure a background count rate using a count rate instrument with an HP-210 probe, or equivalent.
B.4.2 Place the filter in a planchette in the sample holder, inlet side facing up.
B.4.3 Measure the particulate filter count rate by placing an HP-210 probe or equivalent in the sample holder.
B.4.4 Bag and label the particulate filter and discard the used planchette in a plastic bag.
B.4.5 Calculate gross particulate activity in accordance with EPF 06-011-03, AIRBORNE RADIOACTIVITY CALCULATIONS.
B.5 Determination of Gross Iodine Activity [Commitment Step 3.2.4]
B.5.1 Determine a background count rate using a count rate instrument with an HP-210 probe, or equivalent.
Revision: 4 EMERGENCY TEAM FORMATION AND CONTROL EPP 06-011 Reference Use Page 25 of 31 ATTACHMENT B (Page 5 of 8)
ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES NOTE Samples collected onsite should be purged within the confines of a ventilation hood prior to counting.
B.5.2 Before measurement, aspirate the cartridge by drawing non-plume air through the cartridge for 3-seconds.
B.5.3 Bag and label the silver zeolite cartridge.
B.5.4 Measure the silver zeolite cartridge count rate by placing an HP-210 probe, or equivalent directly at contact to the outlet side of the cartridge.
B.5.5 Calculate gross iodine activity in accordance with EPF 06-011-03, AIRBORNE RADIOACTIVITY CALCULATIONS.
B.6 Direct Scan Ground Deposition Survey NOTE Ground measurements should be made in an undisturbed, open area away from vehicles, buildings, roads, evacuated areas, or piled gravel or soil. Care should be exercised to prevent puncture of the mylar window or contamination of the probe.
B.6.1 Determine the background count rate using a count rate instrument with an HP-210 probe or equivalent approximately three feet above ground level, outside of the effected area.
B.6.2 Obtain a gamma reading using the ionization chamber (closed window) at approximately one meter above ground level, at the sample location.
B.6.3 Determine a gross count rate approximately two inches above ground level.
B.6.4 Determine the net count rate (ncpm) by subtracting the background count rate (Bl:gd cpm) from the gross count rate (Gross cpm).
B.6.5 Record results on the sample label. IF sample was not collected at this location, THEN record gamma results in the log.
Revision: 4 EMERGENCY TEAM FORMATION AND CONTROL EPP 06-011 Reference Use Page 26 of 31 ATTACHMENT B (Page 6 of 8)
ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES B.7 Smear Ground Deposition Survey NOTE The area to be swiped should be a flat, smooth surface (e.g., a car hood other than that of the team vehicle), using care not to shake off the collected material.
B.7.1 Wearing gloves, swipe a 100cm2 area using a smear pad.
B.7.2 Measure the background count rate using a count rate instrument with an HP-210 probe or equivalent.
B.7.3 Place the smear in a planchette in the sample holder.
B.7.4 Measure the gross count rate by placing an HP-210 probe or equivalent in the sample holder.
B.7.5 Bag and label the smear pad.
B.7.6 Determine the net smearable contamination (sample cpm) by subtracting the background count rate from the gross count rate.
B.7.7 Calculate the smearable contamination in uCi/m 2 as follows:
uCi/m 2 = (ncpm) 2.2x103 where:
NCPM = (Gross CPM) - (Bkgd. CPM)
Counter efficiency assumed = 10%
2.2x103 includes detector efficiency, area correction and dpm conversion B.7.8 Record the results in terms of uCi/m 2 on the sample label.
Revision: 4 EMERGENCY TEAM FORMATION AND CONTROL EPP 06-011 Reference Use Page 27 of 31 ATTACHMENT B (Page 7 of 8)
ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES B.8 Soil Sample Collection NOTE Soil samples should be obtained in areas free of any vegetation.
B.8.1 Wearing gloves, remove approximately the top 1i inch of soil from a 200 cm2 area (approximately 5" x 6").
B.8.2 Bag and label the soil sample. Record the net ground count rate on the sample label as described for Direct Scan Ground Deposition Survey.
B.9 Vegetation Sample Collection B.9.1 Wearing gloves, cut vegetation growth down to approximately 1 inch from ground level in a 1 m2 area.
