demonstrate the potential radiation hazards to

" ~

operators, auxiliary operators and radiation /

chemistry technicians following an accident in which core damage has occurred. These events occurred at TMI-2 on March 28, 1978.

a. At 0521, the Supervisor, Radiation Protection and Chemistry, and Radiation / Chemist Technician I proceeded to the 305 fe elevation of the auxiliary building to take a gas sample
  • and remove the charcoal cartridge from monitor EF-R-227. As the technician loosed the wing nuts that secured the charcoal cartridge holder, water began to spray with enough force to propel the cartridge from the holder. The technician caught the cartridge and forced it

Chemistry Foreman B surveyed the area and I

found 200 mR/hr on contact with the sample lines. The primary coolant recirculation flow was turned off. The nuclear sampling room air monitor, RM-A12, was inoperable during this period of time.

c. About 1100 Shift Foreman A entered the 305 ft elevation'of the auxiliary building to c1gse electrical breakers that permit operation of the decay heat suction valves. This individual carried a survey meter, which he remembered indicated exposure rates in his work area of 2 R/hr. He stated that his entry took about 5 minutes, and on leaving the building he was found to be contaminated.

Review of the individual's TLD results indicate that a dose of 550 mren gamma and 660 aren beta may have resulted from this entry.

d. Shift Supervisor C and Radiation / Chemistry Technician entered the auxiliary building at about 1300 to transfer radioactive water.

Both dressed in full protective clothing and wore self-contained breathing devices, high-range dosimetry, and TLDs. Upon entering the auxiliary building, their radiation survey ma'ter (RO-2) pegged full scale (5 R/hr). Both withdrew to the health physics area and waited until a Teletector was available. When the " ~

Teletector arrived from Unit 1, the two individuals reentered the 305 ft elevation and proceeded to the radweste operating panel.

The general area dose rates were 8-10 R/hr.

The shift supervisor was unsuccessful in starting pumps to transfer water. On exiting the area, a survey revealed both were contaminated. Their high range pocket '

docimeters indicated about 1 R of exposure.

a. In the afternoon on March 28, Radiation /

Chemistry Technician I and an electrician entered the 328 ft elevation of the auxiliary building to make an electrical breaker lineup.

The radiation / chemistry technician stated that he was so contaminated that he pegged the RM-14/HP-21 monitor (50,000 cpa) at a distance of 3 feet. He measured 35 mR/hr with an E-520 on contact with his head. Both men showered, but the radiation / chemistry technician had residual contamination'of 1500 cpu on his hair.

The electrician received a gamma dose of 1.33 ren, the Radiation / Chemistry Technician a dose of 1.76 rem by TLD data.

f. At about 2100 March 28, Auxiliary Operator I was directed by a Shift Supervisor B to repressurize the core flood tanks with  !

nitrogen.

l He listened to radiation protection personnel '

discussing dose rates and concluded he might be entering fields of 100 to 150 1/hr. The auxiliary operator dressed himself in

~

[f protective clothing and donned a self-contained breathing apparatus at the step-off pad outside the entrance to the auxiliary '

building, picked up a Teletector, and entered the building.

He entered on the 305-ft elevation, noting an ' '

exposure rate of 20 R/hr, proceeded upstairs  !

to the 328-ft elevation, then back through the fuel handling building to near the penetration room door where the core flood nitrogen valves are located. He recalls dose rates of 70, 100, 30, and finally to 10 R/hr in the valve area. Es estimates it took him between 5 and or the total job.

at that time before decontaminating himself l since he thought he would become contamit ated again.

g. He once again entered the auxiliary building. 3 This time he walked the 305-ft elevation '

through the swite.h gear room, hoping the exposure rates would be lowered. He Tamembered 30 R/hr as he passed the makeup tank room and 10 R/hr at the radwaste panel.

The pump would not start so he called the control room to reset a trip. He then waited 1 i

in the model room (3 R/hr) for 2 or 3 minutes l before attempting to again start the pump.

The pumps still did not energize, so he ,

checked the breakers, found they were tripped, '

and left the building. He estimates about 10 l

minutes for this entry.  !

On exiting the area, he discovered his pocket  !

dosimeter was again off scale. He undressed 1 and returned to the Unit 2 control room. Ha "

again alarmed the RM-14/HP-210 probe. He ~

l informed the Shift Supervisor D that his dosimeter had gone off scale. The shift j

supervisor told him he could not be used any more and to return to Unit I and decontaminate. The auxiliary operator was about to shower when a radiation chemistry technician told him that, because of high airborne activity, he should wear a mask while showering.

After decont==ination, tha operator's TLD was read, indicating a gasma dose of 3.170 ram.
