1904.002 OFFSITE DOSE PROJECTIONS RDACS COMPUTER METHOD CHANGE:
028-03-0 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this procedure is to provide an initial estimate of the radiological conditions at the ANO Exclusion Area Boundary, provide information to determine the Emergency Action Level for subsequent classification into one of the four Emergency Classes, define the offsite area (s) potentially affected by an airborne radiological release, provide an estimate of the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE), Child Thyroid dose formulate of fsite radiological Protective Action Recommendations (PARS)
- rates, and refine projections based on available field monitoring data using the Radiological Dose Assessment Computer System (RDACS).
2.0 SCOPE 2.1 This procedure describes the use of RDACS in three (3) different operating modes: auto mode, backup mode and forecast mode.
2.2 This procedure is applicable to airborne radioactive releases from ANO as indicated by the ANO Super Particulate Iodine Noble Gas (SPING) monitors or by other radiological monitoring devices used to assess unmonitored releases (e.g., Steam Line Monitors).
2.3 If releaaes are occurring from steam vents or from an unmonitored release point, release rates must be determined using Procedure 1904.004, " Estimating Airborne Release Rates".
3.0 DESCRIPTION
The RDACS is a network system which obtains and relays information to a series of computer terminals (nodes) located in the Unit One and Unit Two Control Rooms, the (Technical support Center (TSC)] and the Emergency Operations
.s Facility (EOF).
The Control Room RDACS computers are continuously powered-up and will alarm whenever identified limits are excaeded (eee section 9.1.1.B).
The RDACS is a redundant system composed of two " File Servers", designated as "A" and "B", which continuously accept radiological release data from the eleven (11) ANO SPINGS and meteorological data from the meteorological tower i
via the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS).
If at any time one of the two
{
file servers fail, the alternate file server assumes the lead for collecting and distributing data to the various nodes without any data loss or interruptions.
The file server distributes accumulated information to the various nodes via a Local Area Network (LAN).
If both file servers become inoperable for any l
the user will then use the RDACS in its backup mode. The backup mode
- reason, will require manual entry of SPING and meteorological data.
If the LAN i
becomes inoperable, radiological and meteorological data may still be available to the nodes located in the Control Rooms.
If the file server is lost, meteorological data will be available via the Unit One Control Room meteorological strip charts or through information obtained from the Corps or Engineers or Russellville Airport and the use of Procedure 1904.005,
" Atmospheric Stability Class Determination", and radiological data may be obtained using Procedure 1904.004, " Estimating Airborne Release Rates".

This system consists of two redundant file servers, a local area network and multiple nodes.
5.2 File Server - One of two redundant computers located in the SPDS room which collect radiological and meteorological data, process and store this data, and transmit this data to the requesting nodes.
5.3 Local Area Network (LAN) - The communications system which allows processed data from the file server to be transferred to any node.
5.4 Node - The terminals connected to the LAN that the user interfaces with to perform dose assessment functions.
5.5 SPING - One of the eleven Eberline radiological air monitoring detectors connected to RDACS.
Each SPING monitors a single physical release point for airborne particulates, iodines, and noble gases.
5.6 Continuous Monitor File (CMF) - The files which contain raw
[h meteorological and radiological data.
The RDACS has three continuous

5.7 Auto Mode - The RDACS mode of operation in which the file server requests data from the SPINGS and meteorological tower, processes this data, transmits the processed data via the LAN to the requesting node from which the node can either display or print this processed data.
5.8 Backup Mode - The RDACS mode of operation in which current processed data is unavailable from the file servers.
Previous data will be stored on the node of operation if the user has requested a plume update from the system before the failure.
In backup mode, current data must be gathered from alternate data sources, entered into the model, the model executed and the resultant data either displayed or printed.
5.9 Forecast Mode - The RDACS mode of operation in which all previous data segments can be updated to the working node, forecasted radiological and meteorological data are entered, processed and printed such that based upon estimates of future conditions, appropriate actions can be taken.
5.10 o0(sigma theta) - The standard deviation (net change) of the horizontal wind direction over time.

7.0 LIMITS AND PRECAUTIONS 7.1 This procedure describes only limited routine and emergency use of the RDACS computers. A wide range of additional capabilities are available. However, the occasional user should not attempt to use programs and commands which are not specifically described in this procedure.
7,2 This procedure provides a projection of the radiological conditions based upon measured release rates and meteorology; field monitoring is necessary to determine _the actual conditions.

7.3 Actual terrain and weather conditions (
e.g.,
precipitation) will generally limit the accuracy of the' projected doses at a specific location.
7.4 The Emergency Dose Calculation (EDC) data files are circular in When the last available new segment has been used, the next nature.
plume segment will write over the location of the first plume segment.
7.5 Following an actual event or drill / exercise in which the normal isotopic mix has been altered, the user shall re-enter the original values.
7.6 Once the user has begun processing plume updates in the RDACS backup mode, the RDACS system does not allow for the transfer of plume update information to the RDACS Auto Mode if it becomes available.
7.7 Whenever unmonitored releases, SPING data, isotopic distribution or scale factors are edited while in Auto Mode, these changes will edit values in the file servers and thus affect all RDACS nodes.
Messages acknowledged by the user from a particular RDACS termina'l 7.8 will not clear the displayed message on other RDACS terminals.
7.9 If any additional software has been added to the RDACS file servers i
and a particular node has not been turned on since that addition, the node being logged on will pause temporarily to load the most current software.
An update box will appear on the screen during this process and will disappear once the update is complete. No user interaction will be required.
7.10 Protective Action Recommendations (PARS) formulated through the use of I
this procedure are based solely on radiological release data.
Additional PARS are formulated by other sections of the Emergency Response Organization which are based on onsite plant conditions.
7.11 Calculations in this procedure are conservative; however, actual offsite doses and decision times may be higher or lower, and new recommendations should be considered whenever updated information becomes available.
7.12 If field data measurements are available prior to projected RDACS information, PARS may be developed using centerline field data.
)
7.13 In order to print from the Unit Two Control Room RDACS terminal, it is necessary to insure that the printer control switch located adjacent to RDACS is in the correct position.
For RDACS use the A/B switch should be in the "B" position labeled *RDACS PC'.

at all hours and seasons This stability class chart is based on Standard Time. During Daylight (Example - If it is 1000 hours0.0116 days <br />0.278 hours <br />0.00165 weeks <br />3.805e-4 months <br /> and Daylight Savings Time is currently being used, you must read the chart above in the 9:00-10:00 range.)
Savings Time runs from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October.
