PllILADEf.'PHIA ELECTRIC COMPA!PI EEKClfisOTTOM UNITS 2 AND 3 11PO/CO-65 FIELD USE OF A LOW VOLUME PORTABLE AIR SAMPLER ,

PURPOSE:

This procedure lists the steps required to place the F.ade Co. Model 1: 209-and H 809B2 low volume air samplers in service to collect a sample during l

an emergency to determine the concentration of airborne particulate and radioactive iodine.

1. Remove the protective covering form a Iodine swpling car tridge (Silver Zeolight) and mark the cartridge to indicate the direction of air flow through it.

2. Remove the retaining ring from the filter holder on the sarupler and place the cartridge in the holder. Check that the cartridge seath properly and that the cartridge is installed as the flow marking indicates.

3. Place a piece of filtet paper on the surface of the holder and replace the retaining ring.

4. Attach the black jumper cable (ground) to any availabla contact on the car fra:ve/or fender. Attnch the red junper cable to the positive Dattery terminal. Start the car and let it idic during sampling.

5. Start the air samplcr. Inspect the filter for tears and leakage paths. Read the flow motor and determine the tinc recuired to sample 60 ft3 of air. If a smaller saceJe volume is requested by the Radiation Survey Team Leader or Emerrtency Director reduce t.he sempling time to obtain a smaller sampic -.nd make a corrcction m for the cmaller sample volume when the activity in calculated (IIPO/CO-64 and 67).

6. Record date, time, f]ow rate, sample location, and your initials on the envelope which will be used to transport the sample.

7. Record time at the end of the sample period and the flow meter reading on the transport envelope.

O 8. Turn the air sampler off. Remove the black jumper cable first, and then remove the red jtucper cable.

9. Remove the filter paper and analyze it in accordance with procedure HPO/CO-64. .

10. Remove the iodine cartridge and analyze it in accordance with pracedure HPO/CO-67. Procedure HPO/CO-64 may be used as an alternate to HPO/CO-67.

11. If later laboratory analysis is required, package both samples for transport.

2. Remove the retaining ring from the filter holder on the sampler and place the cartridge in the holder. Check that the cartridge is installed as the air flow markings indicate.

3. Place a piece of filter paper on the surface of the holder and replace the retaining ring.

4. Set appropriate sampling time by adjunting thumb wheels.

Sampler will automatically shut off at pre-set time. .

5. Depress START button (sample run can be manually stopped by depressing the STOP button) to turn the air sampler on.

Inspect the filter for tears and leakago paths. Read the 3 flow meter and determine the time required to sampic 60 ft of air. If a smaller sample volume is requested by the Radiation Survey Team Leader or Emergency Director reduce the sampling time to obtain a smaller sample and make a correction

^

for the smaller sample volume when the activity is calculated (HPO/CO-64 and 67) .

l 6. Record date, time on, flow rate (indicated by rotometer), sample location and initials of technician on the envelope which wil]

be used to transport the saeple. .

7. Record time at the end of the sample period and the flow meter reading on the transport envelope.

8. Unit will stop at the end of the sample time or when the STOP button is depressed.

9. Remove the filter paper and analyze it in accordance with j procedure HPO/CO-64.

10. Remove the iodino cartridge and analyze it in accordance with procedure HPO/CO-67. Procedure HPO/CO-64 may be used as an alternate

(

to !!PO/CO-67.

11. If later laboratory analysis in rcquired, package both sampics
