3.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 3.1 Environmental air sampling should be performed sufficiently downwind and not closer than 1.2 miles from the plant to minimize dose. All field team personnel should be instructed to contact MUDAC prior to entering the plume and should be made aware of expected dose rates. Air sampling should not be conducted in fields greater than 2 rem/hr.
3.2 When driving off-road during the dry summer months, Field Team personnel should be aware of the potential for grass fires started by the vehicle's hot exhaust.
3.3 Due to the potential hazard of explosion or fire, adhere to good safety practices when obtaining environmental air samples by connecting the sampler's positive battery terminal lead first, then connecting the negative lead to a ground away from the battery's negative lead cable post (a ground connection can be any metal object within the vehicle's engine compartment). When completed air sampling, disconnect the negative lead first.
3.4 Field Team personnel need to be aware of the potential for heat stress problems when dressed in protective clothing on a hot summer day. The Field Team Coordinator should request a Safety Representative be called out for advisory purposes if this is perceived to be a potential problem.
4.0 PROCEDURE 4.1 Field Team Coordinator Duties NOTE: The Field Team Coordinator checklist (Attachment 5.7) is provided for guidance.
4.1.1 Provide overall direction of environmental field teams. Coordinate each organization's team activities with the responsible agency for their respective area:
- a. Exclusion Area Boundary -- Energy Northwest
- b. Hanford Reservation -- Energy Northwest and DOE-RL
- c. Outside the Hanford Reservation -- Energy Northwest and Washington State Department of Health
- d. Oregon -- Oregon Department of Energy 4.1.2 Assign each field team deployed an identification number for use in communications and reporting (e.g., EN-1, EN-2, DOE-1, DOE-2, etc.).
PROCEDURE NUMBER REVISION PAGE 13.9.1 32 3 of 32
4.1.3 Interface with the Dose Projection Health Physicist (DPHP) to determine the following:
- a. Projected release path.
- b. Areas which may require surveys, air sampling, or environmental sampling to verify plume location and deposition.
- c. Emergency worker dose correction factor. The REM may need to be consulted for this information.
4.1.4 Determine current year-to-date (YTD) dose of each Energy Northwest field team member. Using a dose projection computer, double click on the "Run Exposure Report" icon. This will download the most recent exposure report to the computer.
- a. Double click on the "View Exposure Report" icon. This will display a list of all Energy Northwest personnel and their exposure history. Scroll to the desired name or select "Edit" and use the "Find" option.
- b. Close the window when all desired records have been obtained.
4.1.5 Log each field team member's current year-to-date (YTD) dose, available dose, electronic dosimeter number, and the emergency worker dose correction factor in the Emergency Worker Dose Worksheet Section of the Field Team Dispatch and Tracking Worksheet (Form 25815). Available dose is 5000 mrem minus current YTD dose.
When a radiological release to the environment has started, and periodically thereafter, request an emergency worker correction factor from the Dose Projectionist Health Physicist.
- If the dose adjustment factor provided to you by the REM is less than 5, use that factor. If the dose adjustment factor is greater than 5, use 5.
The emergency worker available dose should be divided by the dose adjustment factor to get the corrected available dose.
4.1.6 If necessary, request a support person or additional field team member to assist with recording incoming field team data.
4.1.7 Perform initial briefing of field teams prior to dispatch per Attachment 5.8.
- a. Initial briefings should include individual exposures and limits.
- b. Obtain field team vehicle license and cell phone numbers, and record them on the briefing guide.
4.1.8 Direct the Field Team Dispatcher in the control and routine briefing of field teams after they are dispatched.
PROCEDURE NUMBER REVISION PAGE 13.9.1 32 4 of 32
4.1.9 Develop an initial plan of action to detect radiological effluent releases through the use of field teams taking into account computer generated data on current and potential effluent release exposure areas.
CAUTION: Environmental air sampling should be performed sufficiently downwind to minimize dose. All field team personnel should be instructed to contact MUDAC prior to entering the plume and should be made aware of expected dose rates. Air sampling should not be conducted in fields, projected or actual, greater than 2 rem/hr. If it is determined that a dose correction factor is necessary, adjust this 2 rem/hr value accordingly.
4.1.10 During initial deployment, position field teams per the following guidelines:
- a. Locate one field team downwind in close proximity to the plant (about 1/2 mile depending on wind conditions). Use grid locations rather than GPS coordinates when field teams are close to the plant.
- b. Locate the other field teams farther downwind.
4.1.11 Request field team readings as identified on Field Team Radiation Survey Data (Form 20697).
- a. Direct readings to be reported by column number. For example, Column 4, 1500 microR/hour.
4.1.12 When a radioactive release is confirmed:
- a. Dispatch field teams to traverse at designated distances (i.e., 1.2, 5, and 10 miles) and verify dose rate levels above 100 microrem/hr.
- b. Upon identification of a radioactive plume, commence air sampling activities.
- c. Identify plume centerline and boundaries (i.e., 100 microrem/hr).
4.1.13 Direct field teams to contact the Field Team Coordinator for further instructions when they have located the plume boundary and prior to entering the plume for additional readings.
4.1.14 Keep the DPHP informed of field monitoring results.
4.1.15 Reposition field teams as necessary to track the plume's leading edge, the side boundaries and, when the release terminates, the trailing edge.
4.1.16 Consult with the REM to determine when an environmental air sample is necessary to determine specific isotopic content of the plume. If so, direct the field team to enter the plume and obtain the air sample keeping exposures ALARA. Air samples should be taken at least 1.2 miles downwind.
PROCEDURE NUMBER REVISION PAGE 13.9.1 32 5 of 32
- a. Electronic dosimeters for field team members are set to alarm at 500 mrem per hour. Direct field team members to leave the plume and contact you for guidance if their dosimeters go into alarm.
NOTE: Dose limits for emergency workers in excess of 5 rem TEDE must be pre-approved by the Emergency Director.
4.1.17 Periodically request dosimeter readings of field team members to assure personnel do not exceed Energy Northwest guides. The Emergency Worker dose limit is 5 rem TEDE, minus any accumulated dose. Ensure dosimeter readings are logged on the Field Team Dispatch and Tracking Worksheet (Form 25815).

RADIATION SURVEY INSTRUMENTS: BATTERY AND RESPONSE CHECKS. and OPERATION Prior to departure from the EOF, all radiation survey instruments should be battery and response checked. The Cesium 137 check source for response checking the instruments is located in the Field Team Source Cabinet inside a lead container. When response checking the instruments you are looking for any indication of an elevated reading.
When response checking the RO-2A (Beta/Gamma Dose Rate Meter) you may need to remove the source from the lead container and check window open in order to see a response. When finished, return the source to its container, and the container to the field team source cabinet. Lock the cabinet to maintain adequate source control, and return the key to the EOF Field Team Supply Cabinet.
- 1. Ludlum Model 2 Count Rate Meter The Ludlum Model 2 Count rate meter should be used when measuring gamma and beta radiation to determine Beta and Gamma contamination. It is used to take readings on air sample cartridges and filters. It is also used to detect levels of contamination on samples, equipment and on yourself.
The Count rate meter can be used to differentiate between Gamma and Beta radiation by placing a piece of cardboard over the probe. If uncovered readings are higher than covered readings then this is an indication of the presence of Beta radiation. If there is no difference between the readings, you are seeing only Gamma. An indication of Beta would mean you are in the plume. An indication of only Gamma would mean the plume is overhead.
- a. Battery Check 1.1.1 Place Selector switch to BAT. The needle should deflect to BAT TEST portion of the scale.
- If the battery response does not deflect into the BAT TEST portion of the scale, replace the two D cell batteries and repeat the battery check.
- Place the selector switch to OFF position
- Check the calibration due date.
- b. Response Check 1.2.1 Attach the HP 260 pancake probe to the count rate meter.
1.2.2 Set the Selector switch to XI.

1.2.3 Press the RES button to ensure that scale reading goes to zero.
1.2.4 Set the F-S switch to fast. The F-S response toggle switch dampens meter response from 3 seconds (F) to 11 seconds (S).
1.2.5 Set the audio toggle to ON 1.2.6 Slowly pass the probe over the surface of the source at about one centimeter.
1.2.7 If the response check was satisfactory; initial, date and check the SAT block on the checklist.
1.2.8 If the instrument fails the response check, contact the HP in the Health Physics Center for assistance.
- 2. Ludlum Model 3 Micro R Meter The Ludlum Micro R meter should be used for detection of very low level gamma radiation.
This instrument is used to determine plume boundaries (10 times background or approximately 100 micro R) and to determine dose rates. The Micro R meter has a range of 0 to 3000 Micro R/hr. When levels exceeding 2000 Micro R/hr are detected, the RO-2A should be used.
For initial surveys, the meter should be set to the XI range. The Range selector switch positions for the Micro R meter includes a XO. 1 scale. On the meter this indicates a range of 0 to 3 Micro R/hr. Because background is approximately 10 Micro R/hr, this scale will always be pegged.
- a. Battery Check 2.1.1 Place Selector switch to BAT. The needle should deflect to BAT TEST portion of the scale.
- If the battery response does not deflect into the BAT TEST portion of the scale, replace the two D cell batteries and repeat the battery check.
- Check the calibration due date.
- b. Response Check 2.2.1 Attach the probe to the instrument.
Attachment 5.1 Page 2 of 4 PROCEDURE NUMBER REVISION PAGE 13.9.1 32 - 14 of 32
2.2.2 Press the RES button to ensure that scale reading goes to zero. The RES button should also be pushed when changing ranges to quickly re-zero the meter.
2.2.3 Set the Selector switch to XI.
2.2.4 Set the F-S switch to fast. The F-S response toggle switch dampens meter response from 3 seconds (F) to 11 seconds (S).
2.2.5 Set the audio toggle to ON.
2.2.6 Slowly pass the probe over the surface of the source at about one centimeter.
2.2.7 If the response check was satisfactory; initial, date and check the SAT block on the checklist.
2.2.8 If the instrument fails the response check, contact the HP in the Health Physics Center for assistance.
- 3. Eberline Model RO-2A Meter CAUTION: The chamber face of the RO-2A is a Beta window of ultra-thin mylar and is covered by a sliding Beta shield to allow Beta/Gamma differentiation. Caution should be taken not to puncture the mylar screen when the Beta shield is open.
The Eberline Model RO-2A meter should be used once levels of radiation exceed 2000 Micro R/hr detected by the Micro R meter.
The Beta window is moved by first depressing the friction release button located on the side of the instrument case. To slide the window, tilt the case either up or down while depressing the button.
Full instrument response time of the RO-2A is five seconds. This means the meter needle will move from a reading of zero to 90% of full scale in five seconds. To obtain accurate results, the instrument should be moved slowly enough to evaluate the extent of a change in meter reading.
To differentiate between Beta and Gamma radiation, a reading should first be taken with the window open and then with window closed. If there is no difference in readings you are seeing only Gamma. If there is a difference then you are seeing both Gamma and Beta. A reading with both Gamma and Beta detected would indicate that you are in the plume.
Attachment 5.1 Page 3 of 4 PROCEDURE NUMBER REVISION PAGE 13.9.1 32 .15 of 32
When calculating beta radiation, a correction factor must be applied to the difference between the beta and gamma readings, and the beta only reading (i.e., the window open and window closed readings). To determine the beta radiation, subtract the window closed reading (gamma) from the window open reading. Multiply the beta correction factor listed on the side of the RO-2A times the difference to determine the corrected beta reading.
- a. Battery Check 3.1.1 The RO-2A has two battery checks for each test (one of the 9 volt batteries has been replaced with a 30 volt upgrade). Place the Range Selector switch in each BAT position and verify that the meter indicates above the BATT OK mark.
- If the battery response does not deflect into the BAT OK portion of the scale, replace the nine volt battery and repeat the battery check.
- Check the calibration due date.
- b. Response Check 3.2.1 Place the Range Selector switch in the ZERO position and adjust ZERO knob until the meter indicates ZERO (0).
3.2.2 Set the Selector Switch to the 0-50 mR/hour position.
3.2.3 With the window open, slowly pass the instrument over the source at about one centimeter. (You may need to remove the source from the lead container to obtain a response.)
3.2.4 If the response check was satisfactory; initial, date and check the SAT block on the checklist.
3.2.5 If the instrument fails the response check, contact the HP in the Health Physics Center for assistance.

FIELD RADIATION SURVEYS 1.0 General Area Surveys NOTE: Refer to Radiation Survey Instruments: Battery & Response Checks, and Operation (Form 26286) for instructions on instrument operation.
1.1 Before entering an affected area, perform a background measurement using the Micro-R Meter and record background reading and time on the Field Team Radiation Survey (Form 26097).
1.2 As directed by MUDAC, proceed toward the plume using the Emergency Zone Map booklet from the Field Team Kit and GPS unit to determine the location of the plume.
1.3 Using the MicroR meter set on the xl scale, search for the edge of the plume (defined as ten times background). Increase scales as radiation levels increase.
1.4 When the Micro-R Meter reads 2000 micro-R/hr (2 mrem/hr) or greater, change to the beta/gamma dose rate instrument, RO-2A.
NOTE: If your electronic dosimeter goes into alarm, immediately leave the area and contact the Field Team Coordinator. The dosimeter will reset when the dose rate returns to a level less than 500 mrem per hour.
1.5 When directed by MUDAC, traverse the plume constantly monitoring radiation levels and record locations, dose rates and other required information for the plume centerline and edges on Form 26097 (indicate type of survey by G for general area).
Proceed until the other edge of the plume is identified.
1.6 Record field survey results on Field Team Radiation Survey Data (Form 20697) and report field team readings to the Field Team Coordinator or Field Team Dispatcher.
- a. Report readings by column number. For example, Column 4, 1500 microR/hour.
1.7 If the dose rate is greater than 2 mrem/hr (2000 micro-R/hr) use the beta/gamma dose rate instrument to tell if you are in the plume or just seeing plume shine as follows:
NOTE: All open and closed readings must be done in the same location and not from a moving vehicle. Consider ALARA practices in choosing how many readings to take.
- a. When first entering the plume, and again at centerline, take open and closed window readings at 3 feet and 6 inches above the ground.
Attachment 5.3 Page 1 of 3 PROCEDURE NUMBER REVISION PAGE 13.9.1 32 19 of 32
- b. If the open and closed window readings are approximately the same, then the plume is probably overhead and has not touched down.
When the open and closed window readings are the same, you are seeing gamma shine from the overhead plume. If the open window reading is higher than the closed window reading, you are seeing some beta radiation. When beta readings are detected, you are in the plume.
- c. If the open window reading is higher than the closed window reading, (by approximately 20% or greater) then you are probably in the plume.
- d. Record both sets of open and closed window readings.
1.8 If the Micro-R Meter indicates a plume reading of less than 2000 micro-R/hr, you can determine if you are actually in the plume (instead of under it) by repeating Step 1.6 using the Count Rate Meter/GM pancake probe as the instrument, and the cardboard from your notebook as a window.
1.9 Do not stop to report data while in the plume. Report the plume edge and centerline readings and their locations to the Field Team Dispatcher at the earliest possible time.
1.10 Leave the plume area when not taking readings, but leave the instrument turned on at all times for constant monitoring purposes.
1.11 After being in the plume, periodically conduct a survey of yourself and your vehicle using the count rate meter, and if grossly contaminated, advise the Field Team Dispatcher.

2.1 As directed by the Field Team Dispatcher, perform a ground contamination survey:
- a. Select small area of level ground (3' x 3') with minimal vegetation.
NOTE: The detector probe should not be allowed to touch the ground or come in contact with potentially contaminated vegetation.
- b. Using the Micro-R Meter and the count rate meter, take readings at ground level (1-2 inches (5 cm) above the surface) and at waist level, approximately 3 feet above the ground.
- c. If Micro-R Meter readings are above 2000 micro-R/hr, use the dose rate meter and repeat ground level and waist level readings at the same locations.
- d. If ground level reading is higher than waist level reading, assume the ground to be contaminated.
2.2 Record all four readings on the Field Team Radiation Survey Data (Form 26097)
(indicate the type of survey by C for contamination).
2.3 Repeat the ground contamination survey in several locations.
2.4 Select the highest set of readings and report them to the Field Team Dispatcher.
