TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 )
1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this manualis to provide a summary of the mathematics and assumptions used to perform offsite dose projections during emergency situations. This includes calculating projected on-site and off-site doses from releases of radioactive material to the environment in accident conditions upon implementation of the Emergency Plan. As such, this document describes methods of projecting off-site doses during emergencies or for training purposes. Indications of releases may result from Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) readings, on-site or off-site sample results, or contingency calculations, if RMS and sample results are not available.
2.0 APPLICABILITY / SCOPE The EDCM is applicable to all qualified TMI Radiological Assessment Coordinator (RAC) personnel involved in the projection of on-site and off-site doses during an emergency. This manual provides the calculational methodologies used in performance of dose projections during emergency situations where radioactive material has been or is predicted to be released to the environment. The contents of the EDCM shall be used as the basis for the computations performed in the Emergency Plan RAC computer program.
3.0 DEFINITIONS 3.1 BUILDING WAKE EFFECTS - When an atmospheric release occurs at, near, or below the top of a C building (or any structure) the dispersion of the release is affected by the wake effect of the building.
i Air flow over and around the structure from the prevailing wind tends to drive the release down to k the ground on the downwind side of the structure. This has two effects: it increases on-site concentrations dramaticahy, while slightly reducing concentrations downwind for a short distance.
Far downwind concentrations are affected very httle by building wake. Building wake effects are most noticeable for ground level or low flow stack releases such as the condenser off-gas exhaust. l Normal plant ventilation usually has a high enough flow that building wake does not affect the plume j significantly. Building wake is accounted for as part of the spht wake release modeling. !
3.2 " CHI over Q"(X/Q)-is the dispersion of a gaseous release in the environment calculated by the spkt wake dispersion model Normal units of X/Q are sec/ cubic meter. X/Q is used to determine environmental atmospheric concentrations by multiplying the source term represented by Q. Thus l
dispersion, X/O (sec/ cubic meter) times source term, Q (pCi/sec) yields environmental concentration X (pCi/ cubic meter). X/Q is a function of many parameters including wind speed, delta T (change in tem;,erature with height), release point height, building size, and release velocity, among others.
The release model takes all these into account when calculating atmospheric dispersion. l l 3.3 CONTAINMENT ATMOSPHERIC POST-ACCIDENT SAMPLING SYSTEM (CATPASS) Post I
accident sampling system capable of providing sample (s) following an accident condition, coincident with a blackout, with limited personnel exposure. The sampling system, located in a post-accident accessible area, provides the capability for obtaining samples of the Reactor Building atmosphere, l within one hour after the decision has been made to acquire the sample (s). The samples (s) are then used for radiological and hydrogen analysis. These results will provide an indication of the extent of core damage and provide good data for the Reactor Building source term if a Reactor Building release is possible.
3.4 CONTINGENCY CALCULATION - A source term calculation performed in the absence of sufficient effluent radiation monitoring system readings or post accident sample data. It is a mathematical calculation based upon the most representative physical model of actual accident plant conditions.

A set of core classifications used to address the requirements of the NRC NUREG 0737 Criterion 2(a) upon implementation of the Emergency Plan. Based upon RCS pressure and incore thermocouple readings, an assessment is made of the degree of cladding failure, fuel overheat, and fuel melt.
3.6 DEFECTIVE FUEL / FAILED FUEL - See definition of core damage. l
}
3.7 DOSE RATE CONVERSION FACTOR (DRCF)- A parameter calculated by the methods and models of internal dosimetry, which indicates the Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) to an organ or Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) to the whole body per unit activity inhaled or ingested. This parameter is specific to the radionuclide and the dose pathway. Dose conversion factors are commonly tabulated in units of mrem /hr per curie /m* inhaled or ingested.
3.8 ELEVATED RELEASE - An airborne effluent plume which is well above any building wake effects so as to be essentially unentrained is termed an elevated release. The source of the plume may be elevated either by virtue of the physical height of the source above the ground elevation and ,
buildings or by a combination of the physical height and the jet plume rise. Semi infinite modeling of elevated releases generally will not produce any significant ground level concentrations within the first few hundred yards of the source. Semi infinite modeling of elevated releases generally have less dose consequence to the public due to the greater downwind distance to the ground concentration maximum compared to ground releases. Elevated releases as used in the EDCM actually means not at ground" in the split wake plume model. Other definitions of " elevated" with O)
V respect to plumes abound in literature.
3.9 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL (EAL)- Predetermined conditions or values, including radiation dose rates; specific levels of airbome; waterbome; or surface-deposited contamination; events such as I natural disasters or fires; or specific instrument indicators which, when reached or exceeded, require implementation of the Emergency Plan.
3.10 EMERGENCY DIRECTOR (ED)- Designated on-site individual having the responsibility and authority to implement the Emergency Plan, and who will coordinate efforts to limit consequences of, and bring under control, the emergency.
3.11 EMERGENCY DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (EDCM)- This controlled dose calculation manual is the documentation describing the content and calculational methods of the TMl Radiological Assessment Coordinator (RAC) model.
3.12 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY (EOF)-The Emergency Operations Facilities serve as the primary locations for management of the Corporation's overall emergency response. These facilities are equipped for and staffed by the Emergency Support Organization to coordinate emergency response with off-site support agencies and to assess the environmental impact of the emergency.
The EOF participates in accident assessment and transmits appropriate data and recommended protective actions to Federal, State and Local agencies.
3.13 EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE (EPZ)- There are two Emergency Planning Zones. The first is an area, approximately 10 miles in radius around the site, for which emergency planning consideration of the plume exposure pathway has been given in order to assure that prompt and effective actions can be taken to protect the public and property in the event of an accident. This is called the Plume D Exposure Pathway EPZ. The second is an area approximately 50 miles in radius around the site,
( for which emergency planning consideration of the ingestion exposure pathway has been given.
\ This is called the ingestion Exposure Pathway EPZ.

TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 3.14 ENTRAINMENT - When a release is treated as a wake split release an entrainment factor is applied to specify how much of the release is to be considered elevated and how much is to be considered a ground release. Entrainment factor is related to the building wake effect. The entrainment factor is computed on a case by case basis and is dependent on both the stack exit velocity and the wind speed. At low wind speeds and high exit velocities, building effects are lowest and the entrainment factor selects for elevated release. At high wind speeds and/or low exit velocities the building effect is highest and the entrainment factor results in a ground level release. Intermediate conditions cause entrainment factors which will split the release between ground and elevated. The general form for the application of the entrainment factor (Ef) is:
X/Q(splitwake)=X/Q(ground)*Ef + X/Q(elevated)*(1-Ef).
As can be seen from the formula, when the entrainment factor is one, the release is entirely ground and when the entrainment factor is zero, the release is entirely elevated. When 0 < Ef < 1 then the release is split.
3.15 EPICOR 11 - Radioactive Liquid Waste Processing Facility located on the east side of TMI-2. This facility is used to process radioactive liquid waste. A Victoreen radiation monitor is located on the ventilation system of this facility. The ventilation system average flow rate is 9000 CFM.
3.16 EXCLUSION AREA (EA)- As defined in 10CFR100.3, "that area surrounding the reactor, in which the reactor licensee has the authority to determine all activities including exclusion or removal of
(' personnel and property from the area". At TMl this is an area with a 2000 ft. radius from the point equidistant between the centers of the TMI-1 and TMI-2 reactor buildings.
3.17 EXIT VELOCITY AND PLUME RISE - Atmospheric dispersion and ground concentrations are in part dependent on release height. Higher release heights will cause lower maximum concentrations at ground and will cause that maximum to occur further downwind than would a lower release height.
The effective height of a stack is not only dependent on its physical height, but also on whether the plume rises or not. At high linear flow rates (exit velocity), the release plume behaves much like a geyser and rises in a jet flow above the stack. The height to which the jet flow rises becomes the effective stack height.
3.18 FINITE PLUME MODEL - Atmospheric dispersion and dose assessment model which is based on the assumption that the horizontal and vertical dimensions of an effluent plume are not necessarily large compared to the distance that gamma rays can travel in air. It is more realistic than the semi-infinite plume model because it considers the finite dimensions of the plume, the radiation build-up factor, and the air attenuation of the gamma rays coming from the cloud. This model can estimate the dose to a receptor who is not submerged in the radioactive cloud. It is particularly useful in evaluating doses from an elevated plume or when the receptor is near the effluent source.
This modelis used by the MIDAS computer program.
3.19 FUEL HANDLING BUILDING ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURE VENTILATION SYSTEM - The Fuel Handling Building ESF Ventilation System is installed to contain, confine, control, mitigate, monitor and record radiation release resulting from a TMI-1 postulated spent fuel accident in the Fuel Handling Building as described in FSAR, Section 14.2.2.1. Normal operation of the Fuel Handling Building ESF Ventilation System is during TMI-1 spent fuel movements in the Fuel Handling Budding. The system design includes adequate air filtration and exhaust capacity to t
p1 ensure that no uncontrolled radioactive release to atmosphere occurs. The System includes effluent radiation monitoring capability.

- sigma-Y, sigma-Z, and wind speed, which explicitly calculates the straigh.t line Gaussian Plume Dispersion. The Gaussian Plume equation actually averages short term variations to produce a mean effectwo plume, so short term measurements of the plume may not be duplicated by the Gaussian Plume Model.
~ 3.21 GROUND RELEASE - An airbome effluent plume which contacts the ground isssentially at the point of release either from a source actually located at the ground elevation or from a source well above j
the ground elevation which has significant building wake effects to cause the plume to be entrained in the wake and driven to the ground elevation is termed a ground level release. Ground level releases are treated differently than elevated releases in that the X/Q calculation results in significantly higher concentrations at the ground elevation near the release point. Ground releases
' also have generally lower X/Qs all the way downwind.
'3.22 HYDROGEN PURGE SYSTEM - Post-accident containment purge system is designed to maintain the hydrogen concentration of the post-accident containment atmosphere below the lower flammability limit. The system does this by introducing outside air into the Reactor Building, which allows the displaced containment atmosphere to be discharged in a controlled manner into the normal Reactor Building exhaust duct. In the flow path three release rates exist which can be additive to give flow from 5 to 1250 CFM. ,
3.23 INTERIM SOLID WASTE STAGING FACILITY (ISWSF)- This facility has no ventilation system or g radiation monitor, but has the potential to release radioactive material to the environment. Releases would be assessed using field team data and/or MOAS.
' 3.24 ' LOW POPULATION ZONE (LPZ)- As defined in 10CFR100.3 "the area immediately surrounding the exclusion area which contains residents,' the total number and density of which are such that there is a reasonable probsbility that appropriate protective measures could be taken in their behalf in the event of a serious accsdent.
l 3.25 METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION AND DOSE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (MIDAS)-This is the acronym for the computer program that can be used by the Environmental Assessment Command Center (EACC) to project off-site doses for routine effluents and releases during emergencies.
Some features of MIDAS that are not in the RAC program are ingestion pathway doses, liquid and ,
gas population doses, dose projections at any desired point of interest, and sector dose integration. !
3.26 FUEL DAMAGE CLASS - A method of estimating the extent of core damage per NUREG-0737 .
Cnterion 2 (a) under accident conditions requiring implementation of the Emergency Plan. The I initial estimate of the degree of reactor core damage is derived from the average of the five highest incore thermocouples and RCS pressure. The assessment is performed utilizing a matrix that i consists of ten (10) possible damage categories ranging from "no damage" to " major clad damage plus fuel melting".
I 3.27' PARTITION FACTOR-(Condenser), see NUREG-0017 3.28- RCS POST-ACCIDENT SAMPLING SYSTEM (PASS) - System used for acquiring a pressurized
' liquid sample of the RCS during emergency conditions. The post-accident reactor coolant sampling system provides a means of obtaining and analyzing a representative sample of reactor coolant, including dissolved gases, reactor coolant bleed tank contents and reactor containment sump l
' ( contents, within three hours after the decision to acquire the sample, without excessive operator
- exposure or compromise of interfacing safety-related systems.

TMI Emergency Does Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 3.2g . PLANT SHUTDOWN RADIOlODINE SPlKING -
Radioiodine spiking occurs when the reactor is shutdown, and is caused when the fuel gap activity is washed out of fuel rods with cladding defects.
3.30 PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDE (PAG)- Projected radiological dose or dose commitment values to individuals of the general population and to emergency workers that warrant protective action before or after a release of radioactive material. Protective actions would be warranted provided the reduchon in individual dose expected to be achieved by carrying out the protective action is not offset by excessive risks to individual safety in taking the protective action. The protective action guide does not include the dose that has unavoidably occurred prior to the assessment.
3.31 PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATION (PAR)- Those actions taken during or after an emergency situation that are intended to minimize or eliminate the hazard to the health and safety of the general pubhc and/or on-site personnel.
3.32 RADIATION MONITORING SYSTEM (RMS) - The RMS detects, indcates, annunciates, and records the radiation level at selected locations inside and outside the plant to verify compliance with applicable Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) limits. The RMS consists of the following subsystems: area monitoring, atmospheric monitoring, and liquid monitoring.
^
3.33 . RADIOlODINE PLATEOUT - lodines are very chemically reactive, being members of the halogen family. As such, lodines have a very high probability of reacting with almost any other material they come in contact with. Radioiodine plateout is a generic term for the mechanisms by which
. radioactive iodines are removed from a waste stream by contact with materials not specifically designed or engineered for radioiodine removal. Examples of potential radioiodine plateout .
reactions are the removal of iodine from gaseous wastes by adsorption onto interior surfaces of ductwork and piping and on any exposed surfaces of the room or building originating the release.
3.34 RADIOlODINE PROCESSOR STATIONS (MAP-5)- System used for acquiring particulate and
~ iodine samples from the Reactor Building Exhaust, Auxiliary and Fuel Handling Building Exhaust or the Condenser Off-gas Exhaust during emergency conditions. The stations are controlled by solenoid valves which activate on high alarm indications on the low gas channels of the effluent stream. Flow is actuated through (3) parallel filter cartndges per station. The sampling times are adjustable on each local control panel. The filter cartridges must be removed manually for analysis.
3.35. RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT COORDINATOR (RAC) - The RAC is respr'nsible for all on-site radiological assessment activities. Initially, the RAC is responsible for direcing the on-site and off-site survey teams. The RAC is relieved of off-site radiological monitorins responsibilities by the Environmental Assessment Coordinator. The RAC performs dose projection:, P ed upon source term estimates and provides information to the EAC. Initially the Group Radiological Control
- Supervisor assumes the role of the RAC until relieved by the initial Response Emergency Organization RAC;and RASE.
3.36 ' RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT SUPPORT ENGINEER (RASE)- Individuals assigned to assist the
. RAC in performing dose calculations, source term calculations, and overall assessment and control of radiological hazards. Nornally one RAC and one RASE are on duty at ail times.

TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 3.37 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS)- This system contains the necessary piping and components to provide sufficient water flow to cool the reactor. This system provides for the transfer of thermal energy from the reactor core to the once through steam generators (OTSG) to make steam, acts as a moderator for thermal fission, and provides a boundary to separate fission products from the atmosphere.
3.38 RELEASE DURATION - Release duration refers to the time interval during which radionuclides are released from the nuclear facility. Releases may be monitored, unmonitored, actual, or projected.
The time interval used to estimate a release of unknown duration should reflect best estimates of the plant technical staff. In the absence of other information, use eight hours as the expected release duration. For purposes of determining whether to take a protective action on the basis of projected dose from an airbome plume, the projected dose should not include the dose that has already been received prior to the time the dose projection is done.
3.39 RELEASE RATE - This term refers to the rate at which radionucl. des are released to the environment. Normally, it will be expressed in curies per second (Ci/sec) or microcuries per second (pCi/sec).
3.40 RESPIRATOR AND LAUNDRY MAINTENANCE FACILITY (RLM)- This facility is used to process clean and maintain laundry and respirators for TMI. This facility's 900 CFM ventilation system is monitored using an AMS-3 radiation monitor. The RLM has HEPA filters installed in the ventilation g system. Releases would be assessed using field team data and/or M10AS.
\
3.41- RMS RESPONSE FACTOR - Parameter which is used to convert RMS monitor count rates to total microcurie per cubic centimeter of the assumed or measured radionuclide spectrum passing by the monitor. This is different from a meter calibration factor which does the same thing for a single calibration nuclide. These factors are adjusted for changes in mixture decay.
3.42 SEMI-INFINITE PLUME MODEL - Dose assessment model which is based on the assumption that the dimensions of an effluent plume are large compared to the distance that gamma rays can travel in air. If the plume dimensions are larger than the gamma ray range, then the radius of the plume might just as well be infinite since radiation emitted from beyond a certain distance will not reach the receptor, The ground is considered to be an infinitely large flat plate and the receptor is assumed to be standing at the center of a hemispherical cloud of infinite radius. The radioactive cloud is limited to the space above the ground plane. This is the origin of the name SEMI-INFINITE PLUME. The noble gas DAC's were developed on the basis of the semi-infinite plume model.
3.43 SIGMA-Y AND SIGMA-Z- Parameters of the Gaussian diffusion equation which determine horizontal and vertical diffusion. Sigma-Y and Sigma-Z varies by stability class and distance from release point.
3.44 SOURCE TERM - A source term is the activity of an actual release or the activity available for release. The common units for the source term are curies, curies /Sec, or multiples thereof (e g., microcuries). The term " Source Term" derives from the equations involved in doing dose calculations, since the equations contain many terms (a term beinq . hematical nomenclature fo6 a portion of an equation), the " Source Term"is that portion of the eq. - which addresses the activity released. Although the term " Source Term" is used loosely tu c 9 almost any activity for airbome, liquids, and even dose rate calculations in plant, strictly speaking -Source Term" applies p only to radioactive material actually released.

TM1 Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 l ' 3.45- SPLIT WAKE RELEASE - Airbome releases, for purposes of assessing off-site dispersion, must address the elevation o' the release since wind speed changes with height, buildings affect dispersion for low releases and even wind directen can be diflerent. Many release points are actually at a height where, given different condition, of release flow rate and meteorology, could .
- ' either be most accurately described as ground or elevated releases, or some mixture between the two. The purpose of treating a release as a split wake release is to address this problem. When a
! release point is set up to be treated as a split wake release, the atmospheric dispersion is calculated l based on a mixture of elevated and ground releases. Thus at high release flow rates the release may appear to be entirely an elevated release and at very low flow rates it may appear to be entirely
- a ground level release, in intermediate conditions, the model will " split" the release between ground
! . and elevated as appropriate, so that a release might be 25% ground and 75% elevated from the j same release point.
3.46 STABILITY CLASS - Dispersion of an effluent plume in the atmosphere is a function of the amount of mixing occurring between the plume and the atmosphere around the plume. The amount of ~
mixing is related to what is referred to as the stability of the atmosphere. Conditions which create
- i. good mixing are unstable and conditions which create poorer mixing are stable. Pasquilt stability l class is a breakdown of the relative atmospheric stability into seven groups, denoted as A through i
G, from most unstable to most stable, in the pesquill stability class system, stability is related to the relative change in temperature with height, delta T. The more negative the change in temperature S
- with increasing height, the more unstable the atmosphere The RAC program uses sensors on the t"m4-;ical tower at 33 feet and 150 feet to determine the delta T. Once the delta T is determined, a stability class is selected based on the delta T and the atmospheric dispersion (X/Q) is calculated based on the selected stability class.
3.47. TERRAIN FACTOR - The terrain factor is the terrain height in meters above plant grade. Terrain factor varies with sector and distance from the release point.
'3.48 TWO PHASE RELEASE - Liquid and steam release from the main steam safety relief valves.
Following discharge to the environment the atteam fraction is calculated assuming there is no l change in system entropy and that the OTSG wide range level instrument is indicating that the valve inlet fluid condition is either pure liquid or steam (greater than 600 inches as indicated on the Wide Range Level indcators on PCL Panel, and the pressure indicators PI-950A and PI-952A). )
l- 3.4g WASTE HANDLING AND PACKAGING FACILITY (WHPF)- This facility is used to handle and package radioactive waste. This facility's ventilation is monitored by an AMS-3 radiation monitor,
- l. and runs at 7100 CFM. Releases would be assessed using field team data and/or MIDAS.
3.50- WIND SPEED ADJUSTMENTS - Since wind speed varies with height and the wind speed sensors are not at the release height, an adjustment is made to extrapolate the measured wind speed to the wind speed at tha release height. The adjustment amount is dependent on the stability class.

Once the determination of Fuel Damage Class 1 - 10 has been deteimined from the Core Temperature Regions the various radionuclide mix percentages can be calculated based on the distribution of the RCS Activity, GAP Activity, and/or Fuel Matrix Activity. Various combinations of activities for each Fuel Damage Class are modeled as follows:
Fuel Damage RCS Activity GAP Activity Fuel Matrix Class Fraction Fraction Fraction 1 1 0.0 0.0 2 1 0.1 0.0 3 1 0.5 0.0 4 1 1 0.0 5 1 1 0.1 6 1 1 0.5 7 1 1 1

RCS Activity, p. hts 100% of the GAP Activity, p_Iyg l 50% of the Fuel Matrix Activity.
5.3.3.2 TMI-1 Normal RCS Activity - TMI-1 normal RCS Activity is monitored regularly during operation and is readily available to emergency dose assessment personnel.
5.3.3.2.1 Plant Shutdown Radioiodine Spiking represents the " spiking" of the radioiodines and noble gases. Plant Shutdown Radioiodine Spiking occurs when the reactor is shutdown, and is caused when the fuel gap activity is washed out of fuel rods with cladding defects.
Default spiking factors for current fuel conditions are monitored by Radiological Engineering and Nuclear Engineering, and made available te emergency dose assessment personnel.
The TSC should be requested to provide the actual" spiking" ,
factors for the particular plant shutdown situation. The default factors are to be used if information is not available from the TSC.
This

TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 5.4.2 Source Term Calculations Using RM-G-22 and RM-G-23 l 5.4.2.1 During a Loss of Coolant Accident in the Reactor Building, the high range radiation monitors in the Reactor Building, RM-G-22 and RM-G-23, may be used to estimate the airborne activity in containment. Use of these monitors to estimate the activity released to the containment atmosphere is based on i the following assumptions:
9 The response of RM-G-22 and 23 to airborne activity in containment during a LOCA is assumed to be conservatively approximated as a semi-infinite cloud surrounding the detector.
l 9 It is assumed that the detectors are responding to noble gases only. While some response from airbome iodines would be expected, it is difficult to predict the fraction of iodines released from the RCS that would remain airbome for all LOCA situations.
As a result, it is conservatively assumed that all response of the monitors is from noble gases.
9 The isotopic mix of the noble gas activity in containment is assumed to be the same as the distribution in the RCS for a Fuel Damage Class 2. Since the isotopic distribution in the RCS does
\j not dramatically change between Fuel Damage Classes 1-4, this assumption covers a wide range of the most probable core i
damage conditions. In addition, this mix produces higher !
pCi/cc/R/hr values than mixes above Damage Class 4, so it is l conservative for those conditions.

wcma Radiological Controls Procedure 6610-PLN-4200.02 Me Romeon No TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) -10 5.5 Post Accdont Samoles Source Term C&*% - Actual plant emuent sample results may be used to develop the release source terms. This is in fact the preferable method for estimating release qbantities if the sample results are available since the method eliminates some of the built in conservatisms of using monitor readings, or contingency calculations. Using sample results also eliminates errors in the source term when the actual release mixture is different from the assumed mix. The use of post accdont samples in the RAC modelis dependent on the type of post accident sample.
5.5.1 ' One criteria is the sample station / method to be used. For the Reactor Building three options are presented: 1) CATPASS (Containment Atmosphere Post Accident Sample System),2) Marinelli/prefilter (marinelli with a particulate and iodine filter upstream), or 3)
MAP-5, Radioiodine Processor Station. For the condenser off-gas or the Aux /FHB release pathways, only the Marinelli/prefilter and MAP-5 samples are available.
5.5.2 For MAP-5 sample results each of the identified radioiodine species in the silver zeolite or charcoal cartridge sample from the MAP-5 Processor Station are used for source term generation. The mixture can be decayed from time of shutdown and from time of the sample. NORMALLY THE DECAY CORRECTION WOULD NOT BE APPLIED FROM TIME OF SHUTDOWN SINCE THE ANALYSIS ITSELF ACCOUNTS FOR THAT. Since the MAP-5 only provides information on the radioiodines, the expected ratio between the iodines and noble gases is used to approximate the noble gas activity. The MAP-5 O - measures radioiodines after they have been acted on by the iodine reduction factors for the release pathway under consideration. These reduction factors are described in Section 5.11. As a result, the noble gas activity will be increased by a factor that is the inverse of the reduction factors described in Sechon 5.11 to account for reduction of the iodines that is not applicable to the noble gases. Based on the release rate in CFM the isotopic concentrations in pCi/cc are converted to a release rate in pCi/sec for the final source term.
5.5.3 ' For CATPASS sample results the 10 noble gas and the five radioiodine nuclides identified.
from air sampling are used for source term generation. The mix can be decayed from the sample to dose projectiori time. Since the CATPASS only applies to the containment, whether the containment is isolated or not and if the release is proposed or in progress must be considered. Calculations are made using the input activities to develop new isotopic percentages and the activities are changed from pCi/cc to pCi/sec based on the release rate defined to amve at the final source term.
5.5.4 The marinelli sample results are used if a marinelli/prefilter sample has been collected.
This option is available for all three release pathways. Since the production of the source term is based on the measured isotopics, as did the CATPASS program, the marinelli program proceeds in an identical manner.

TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 5.6 Continoency Calculations Source Term Generation - The contingency calculations determine a source term based upon a priontized set of plant conditions. In this way, credible conservative assumptions, as defined in the FSAR default parameters, are replaced with real-time accident conditions as indicated by plant instrumentation. This will make the calculated source terms more realistic.
5.6.1 In the contingency calculations the previously determined release pathway is utilized to select:
O Secondary Side Release e Reactor Building Release e' Station Ventilation Releases The " Secondary Side Release" includes accidents that result in release via: The condenser off-gas, the atmospheric dump valves, the main steam reliefs, and a main steam line rupture.

The uses of this ratio are discussed below.
1 An airborne release from a nuclear power plant will primarily consist of noble gases and radioiodines. Except in the most severe and improbable accident scenarios, radioactive ;
particulates are not expected to be important dose contributors. The RAC model was I designed to incorporate ten noble gases and five radioiodines. j The 15 isotopes are considered to be the most radiologically significant gaseous isotopes available for release from an operating nuclear power plant. Pertinent radioactive decay l parameters such as half life, average gamma energy per disintegration and average beta l energy per disintegration for each isotope, and individual isotope source term information are used to determine dose rate conversion factors and dose rates that are specific to the isotopic mixture being released. These calculated quantities can be adjusted to account for radioactive decay during the accident sequence.

TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 5.8.2 The TMl RAC model always projects both thyroid (CDE) and whole body (TEDE) dose rates at specified downwind distances. Consequently an estimate of the isotopic release rate is necessary for both iodines and noble gases. Under normal circumstances the model starts with a core inventory of all fifteen isotopes and traces the progress of each one through various systems or processes untilit is released. Depending upon the type and severity of the accident and the engineered safety systems that have been activated, the isotopic ratios can vary widely. There are some circumstances where the release rates of specific isotopes may be zero or negligibly small. But, in general, the model accounts for the fifteen isotopes listed above.
In certain circumstances it is not possible to obtain release rates for all fifteen isotopes individually. For example, some plant effluent monitors have only noble gas channels while others have particulate, iodine and gas channels. The MAP-5 sampling system yields only iodine information, where the CATPASS and the Marinelli gas sampling systems yield information on all fifteen isotopes. For release pathways where information on both noble gases and iodines is not available, the RAC model uses the noble gas to iodine ratio to fillin the missing information. The following example illustrates the use of this ratio:
A certain type of reactor accident has occurred. Based on an assessment of the degree of core damage and the accident type, the model uses a default mixture of 15 nuclides g
- and calculates the fraction of the mix that each isotope represents. The noble gas to l
s iodine ratio is also calculated. Assume that the ratio was equal to 5/1 in this case Also assume that an iodine sample was taken which indicated a total radiciodine release rate of 5000 pCi/sec. Using the noble gas to iodine ratio in the absence of specific noble gas measurements, the model would calculate a gross noble gas release rate of 25,000 pCi/sec. It would also calculate individual noble gas release rates by using the isotopic fractions from the default mix.
5.8.3 To summarize, the highest quality information available is a quantitative measurement of j each nuclide. This type of information is available from RCS, gas Marinelli and prefilter, and CATPASS samples. So there is no need to invoke the noble gas to iodine ratio in these cases. The second best measurement would be one that yielded gross noble ~ s and gross iodine readings. This situation occurs in the low range radiation monitors w iich have individual noble gas and iodine channels. Based upon the default mixture fractions, the release is apportioned among the fifteen nuclides to arrive at isotopic release rates.
- Again, there is no need to use the noble gas to iodine ratio. It is used only in circumstances where either noble gas or lodine measurements are not available, for example, when only noble gas or only iodine information is available.
5.8A There are some refinements and subtleties that the model user should be aware of. The i noble gas to iodine ratio changes with time because of radioactive decay. The RAC model has the ability to account for radioactive decay and to compute a decay corrected noble gas to iodine ratio. As explained elsewhere in this manual, the model also corrects i the Dose Rate Conversion Factor (DRCF) for decay of the isotopes in the mix. When performing dose projections several hours or more after the reactor has tripped, these two decay corrections can significantly alter the resultant projections. The model provides the capability to account for decay between reactor trip and dose projection.

TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 5.8.5 For dose projections based upon RMS readings, the decay correction to the noble gas to iodine ratio is straightforward. A default mixture of the fifteen noble gases and iodines is selected based upon an assessment of core damage, if the mix, is to be decayed, all fifteen isotopes are decayed by the standard exponential decay law using the decay time between reactor trip and dose projection. The noble gases and iodines are totaled separately so that their ratio at dose projection time can be calculated. (Ingrowth of xenon isotopes from decay of iodine is accounted for.) The decay adjusted ratio is then used to fillin the missing noble gas or iodine information, as explained above.
5.8.6 When iodine samples are taken at the MAP-5 stations a two step decay process is used.
As above, a default mixture is chosen, based upon the fuel damage classification. For a dose calculation based upon a radiciodine processor cample, if decay correction is desired, the model uses two decay time intervals:
0 The time between sampling and dose projection e The time between reactor trip and dose projection Sample results from the radiochemistry lab are reported as of the sample collection time.
When significant time has elapsed between sampling and dose projection, the results should be decayed from sampling time to dose projection time, in order to compute the noble gas portion of the source term, the default mix is first decayed from reactor trip time to dose projection time. The noble gas to iodine ratio is computed for the decayed defadt mix, and any iodine reduction factors present in the specific release pathway. This ratio, along with the gross radioiodine sample result, is used to compute a gross noble gas source term. Isotopic source terms are calculated from the decayed mixture noble gas fractions. Note that the final source term is a combination of noble gases from a default mix and radioiodines from a sample. Each has been decayed to the dose projection time.
A word of caution should be added at this point. The iodine released in certain types of accidents may be reduced by various chemical and physical processes such as iodine plateout or formation of water soluble iodide salts. The noble gas to iodine ratio, as calculated above, may not completely account for this iodine reduction. As a consequence, the ratio, based upon the default mix, may be too low. This creates the potential for underestimating the noble gas portion of the sou.ce term. RAC personnel should be aware of this possibility. A comparison of field team data and the source term dose projections would reveal agreement for thyroid (CDE) doses, but not for whole body (TEDE) doses.

The dose projection could be ratioed down by one fiftn (1/5). Therefore, a dose projection of 10 mrem would then be approximately 2 mrem based on the reduced flow calculation, realizing that the X/Q will also be affected by reducing flow.

The Reactor Building pressure indicator is PT-291 0-100 psig, located on control room panel CR. The leakage out of the Reactor Building is based on the amount of pressure in the Reactor Building with all penetrations closed. The following equation is used to calculate the Reactor Building Leak Rate:

['N - is 6.14 CFM. Leak rates at 0-60 psig can be calculated from the above formula. The default value in the modelis 50.6 psig. A graphic representation follows in Figure 5.9-1.

At TMI-1, the reactor building stack and station vent are adjacent stacks. For computing plume rise, the stack gas exit velocity and stack radius were calculated according to Eq. (2) and (3) above. A comparison of the adjacent plume rise with the plume rise from the individual stacks is shown in Table 5.9-1.
5.9.4 Flow Rate Calculations for OTSG Tube RentL-e Release Directiv to the Atmosphere (see Figure 5.9-2 and Figure 5.9-3).
TMI-1 has 22 main steam relief and 2 atmospheric dump valves. Data on the valves are presented in Table 2, which lists the valve identificahon number, function, manufacturer, pressure set point and fkw rate. The set point pressures vary from 200 psig to 1092.5 psig, and the steam flow rate from 70,211 lbs/hr to 824,269 lbs/hr. Note that valves 4A&B are manually operated and do not have a set point pressure. These valves, e . MS-V-4A/B, can be operated from 0 to 100% open. The valve position openings along with the secondary system pressure relate to a release flow and plume height. The
, percent open for these two (2) valves can be read at the center control panel under the turbine bypass dump controller for MS-V-4A/B from 0 - 100%.
Each of the 22 valves at TMI-1 has a stack or vent where the steam is ejected into the atmosphere. The location of these stacks is shown in Figure 5.9-2. If a steam generator tube ruptures, each of the 22 valves and stacks acts as a throttle to limit the flow from the steam line to the atmosphere. When a valve opens, the flow through it will be approximately equal to the rated flow, and the fkw can be assumed to be approximately constant until the pressure in the steam line drops to the point where the valve reseats.
For a stuck open valve, the pressure decreases rapidly with time, and the flow through the valve is only a small fraction of the rated flow. For either a normally operating valve or stuck open valve, if the pressure and temperature in the steam line are known, the conditions just beyond the stack exit can be estimated by assuming expansion of the j steam to atmospheric pressure and temperature.
5.9.4.1 Buovant Plume Rise When the steam is released into the atmosphere, the rise of the steam plume ,
is initially controlled by its velocity, temperature and cross-sectional area. '
Depending on these variables and atmospheric conditions, the plume rise can vary from hundreds to thousands of feet. Plume rise is a very important factor in determining maximum ground level doses For a PWR, plume rise can increase the effective stack height by a factor of 5 to 50. Since maximum i ground level dose is roughly proportional to the inverse square of the effective '
stack height, a plume rise of 200 feet, for example, gives a ground level ;
concentration 100 times higher than that from a plume nse of 2000 feet.

TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 Modeling of plume rise begins with modeling the steam condition at the valve inlet. Table 5.9-3 outlines the calculational steps required to compute l' buoyant plume rise, beginning with the valve inlet. The far left side of the table identifies the area for which the calculation applies: valve inlet, top of stack, jet origin, and plume rise. For each area, several quantities must be computed from various inputs, and these are also identified in the table.
Buoyant plume rise was calculated according to Briggs (1984). The details of all the calculations are discussed in the Environmental Controls document Potentially Buovant Releases at TMI-1.
CAUTION in highly stable atmospheric conditions, the presence of layers of different temperature air can cause thermal boundaries resistant to plume vertical travel. In some conditions, a buoyant plume may penetrate these layers ,
and not come down to the surface as predicted. In other cases the plume !
may be unable to penetrate the layer and the effective stack height will be reduced to the height of the layer. This may cause ground concentrations to be higher and closer to the plant than predicted. In these conditions (i.e., highly stable meteorology with a buoyant plume) off-site monitoring will provide an indication of the magnitude of the effect. It may also be h possible to estimate the effect through visual observation of the plume.
M 5.9.4.2 Source Term Calculation Usina RM-G-26 or RM-G-27 (see Fiaure 5.9-3)
RMG-26 and RMG-27 are effective in calculating a primary to secondary release source term direct to the atmosphere when:
O Atmospheric Dump Values (ADV) MS-V-4A or MS-V-4B are open from 0-100%, as indicated on Control Room Panel"CC", and l releasing radioactive steam to the environment, and/or, S Emergency Feed Pump (EFP) relief valves, MS-V-22A or MS-V-228 are open and releasing radioactive steam to the environment, and/or, e EFP is in operation and releasing radioactive steam from the EFP exhaust to the environment.
9 Steam bypass dump to the condenser through MS-V-8A/B.
When the model calculates a release from an OTSG tube rupture directly to the atmosphere and uses RM-G-26 or RM-G-27 readings, the calculation Steam Flow Computation is used to determine a release flow rate, depending on which of the valves are open (Table 5.9-2 and Reference 7.44). The mass flow rate from each open valve is added up to give a total flow rate to the environment. A source term is calculated using the flow rates in CFM and the RM-G-26/27 readings converted to concentration using the monitor efficiencies to give pCi/second.

TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 NOTE Calculation of a source term using RMS (RM-G-26/27) is dependent on the Atmospheric Dump Valves (ADV) status. If the ADV is open, the calculation is appropriate. If the ADV is closed but plant conditions (OTSG leakrate and core damage) have not changed significantly, or there is other flow past the monitors as noted above, then the use of a l RM-G-26/27 gggk reading will be appropriate. If the ADV is closed and plant conditions have changed significantly, and there is no other source ,

This flow rate is given in Table 5.9-2. If; however, the valve sticks open, and the steam generator pressure is less than the set point pressure, then the flow rate is based on the tables supplied by the valve manufacturer.

TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 5.10 Two-Phase Steam Flow Determination -A two-ohase (liquid and gas) release calculation was included for an OTSG tube rupture accident in response to INPO SOER 83-2 (Recommendation
- 12). INPO SOER 83-2 " Steam Generator Tube Ruptures" was developed based upon the steam generator tube rupture events at R. E. Ginna, Oconee and Rancho Seco. Recommendation #12 states " Emergency Plan Implementation Procedures should , , ensure that estimates of doses can be made for two-phase or liquid releases through the steam generator safety relief valves." GPUN Corporation is required to respond to all SOER recommendations. The calculatonal method used to implement this recommendation is based upon the assumptions that the valve inlet fluid condition is either pure liquid or steam (as indicated by the OTSG wide range level instrumentation) and following discharge, the steam fraction is described by assuming that there is no change in total energy content. If the OTSG wide range level instrument is indicating that the valve inlet fluid condition is pure liquid, greater than 600 inches, and the fluid is near saturation for the pressure and temperature, then the fraction of gas vapor present in the release is a function of the OTSG '
pressure as indicated on the PCL panel, Pl950A and 951 A, or the console center, SPGA PT1 and 2 or SPGB PT 1 and 2.
5.10.1 The model determines a two-phase correction factor [Tfcf) which is a function of OTSG pressure in psia. This factor is only calculated if the OTSG water level is indicating a hquid release (greater than 600 inches on the wide range level instrument reading). The correction factors are used to account for the radioiodine that would remain in the liquid portion of the resultant two-phase release to the environment.
f\
- Using the OTSG pressure in Psia, the model selects a correction factor which is subsequently used with other iodine reduction factors applicable to the release pathway to correct the radioiodine source term. These other iodine reduction factors are described in Section 5.11. The algorithm used by the RAC model to determine Tfcfis as follows: !
OTSG pressure 21200 Tfcf = 2.43 1000 s OTSG pressure < 1200 Tfcf = 2.61 800 s OTSG pressure < 1000 Tfcf = 2.83 600 s OTSG pressure < 800 Tfcf = 3.18 400 s OTSG pressure < 600 Tfcf = 3.77 200 s OTSG pressure < 400 Tfcf = 5.09 OTSG pressure < 200 Tfcf = 7.27 NOTE increasing OTSG A/B water level will possibly help cut down the release of radioiodine due to the partitioning effect of the iodine in water.
Increasing OTSG level should be discussed with the Emergency Director as a means of reducing off-site doses.

They readily adsorb onto I surfaces and can be scrubbed chemically from the atmosphere. The radioiodine removal methods available are specific to each release pathway and are described in Reference 7.21. The TMl RAC Model provides the capability to include or disregard radioiodine reduction during the movement of these isotopes from the core to the atmosphere. The reduction factors (RDF) used by the TMl RAC Model are those described in Reference 7.21.
5.11.1 Releases from Condenser Offgas During an OTSG Tube Rupture For a release through the condenser off-gas the, radioiodine RDF is 0.0075. The radioiodine RDF is a product of: The fraction of radiciodine entering the OTSG from the RCS that is a volatile iodine species (.05) and the partition factors for volatile iodine species in the main condenser (.15). Non-volatile iodine species have a partition factor of zero in the condenser off-gas. This is discussed in Reference 7.17.

( ) RadiologicalControls Procedure Titie Revision No TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 5.12 Dispersion Model 5.12.1 Semi-infinite Dose Model The TMI-1 RAC model computes both whole body dose (TEDE) and thyroid dose (CDE) using a semi-infinite model. In the semi-infinite model, the ground is considered to be an infinitely large flat plate and fhe receptor is assumed to be standing at the center of a hemispherical cloud of infinite radius. The radioactive cloud is limited to the space above the ground plane.
In computing whole body dose, the semi-infinite plume model is based on the assumption that the dimensions of an effluent plume are large compared to the distance that gamma rays can travelin air. If the plume dimensions are larger than the gamma ray range, then the radius of the plume might just as well be infinite since radiation emitted from beyond a certain distance will not reach the receptor. This assumption forms the basis for the Dose Conversion Factors (DCFs) provided in Reference 7.42 which are used by the RAC Model to calculate whole body dose. These DCFs combine doses from extemal exposure, inhalation from the plume, and exposure for an individual immersed in a plume. The whole body (TEDE) DCFs used in the TMI RAC Model are as follows:

The thyroid dose rate is proportional to X/Q. The thyroid dose conversion factors are calculated using the child breathing rate of 0.42 m*/hr from Table E-5 of Reference 7.35 and the child inhalation dose factors from Table E-9 of Reference 7.35. The dose is computed by multiplying the dose rate by the expected duration of release. The thyroid DCFs used in the TMl RAC Model are as follows:

5.12.2 Calculations Used in the Model 5.12.2.1 X/Q Calculation:
The basis for the X/O calculation is the Gaussian diffusion equation and a 10 x 7 array of sigma y's and sigma z's. The array of values correspond to sigma y's and sigma z's for 7 stability classes and at 10 fixed downwind distances. For distances other than the fixed downwind distances, the sigma y's and sigma Z's are linearly interpolated before X/O is computed for that n distance. The ten fixed distances are: 200,500,1000,2000,3000,6000, 10000,30000, 50000, and 80000 meters.

TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 5.12.2.2 Compute Buildino Effect Retums one of seven pre-computed virtual source distances, depending on stability class. The virtual source distances for each of the seven stabihty categories are 209,209,209,308,465,770 and 1254 meters, respectively.
These values were computed based on the cross-sectional area of the nearest large building. Building wake effects are simulated by adding the virtual source distance, for a particular stability class, to the actual downwind distance for the purpose of computing X/Q. For example, suppose we wanted to know X/Q without building wake effects at 800 meters downwind with stability class D. X/Q would then be computed at 800 meters downwind.
With building wake effects, X/Q would be computed at 1108 meters downwind (800 + 308) Thus building wake effect is simulated by computing X/Q at a distance greater than the actual downwind distance and is called only for ground level portion of release.

5.12.3.3 Compute Terrain Factor Computes terrain height in meters for a given downwind distance. At downwind distances other than the given distances, terrain height is computed by linear interpolation, except at distances closer than 610 meters.
Between the plant and 610 meters downwind, the terrain height is set equal to the terrain height at 610 meters. Terrain further from the plant is never lower than terrain closer to the plant due to mathematical approximations.

A mixed mode release is assemad when: (1) the release point is at the level of or above adjacent solid structures but lower than elevated release points, (2) the ratio of plume exit velocity to horizontal wind speed is between one and five. Specifically, the entrainment factor E i, is computed according to the following formulas:
Ei = 1.0 for wdu le 1 Ei = 2.58 - 1.58(wdu) for 1 gt wdu le 1.5 Ei = 0.30 - 0.06(wdu) for 1.5 gt wdu le 5.0 E = 0 for wdu gt 5.0 i
where wois the stack gas exit velocity and u is the wind speed at stack height l in miles per hour.
I Note that the entrainment factor does not address the case of two adjacent l plumes mixing with each other, as would be the case in TMI-1, where it is possible for a clean plume and a enntaminated plume to be emitted from D adjacent but separate stacks. These plumes are examples of co-located I
adjacent jets; little is known about the modeling of co-located adjacent jets

TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 5.13 Liauid Release Calculation - In this section of the model calculations are performed for liquid source term determination, (see Figure 5.13-1 and Tables 5.13-1,5.13-2) concentrations in the river, travel time to downstream users, and ingestion dose commitment calculations. The methods used to perform the calculations are as follows:
G The concentrations of the liquid effluents are determined by sampling and analysis of the effluent stream, if sample results are not immediately available, previous Chemistry data may be used to provide a best estimate of the effluent concentrations. Only the four usual iodine isotopes (1-131,1-132, 1-133,1-135), H-3, Cs-134, Cs-137, Co-58 and Co 60 are considered in the calculation.
8 The dilution in the river is calculated by first obtaining the river flow rate and inputting the value in the model. The flow rate may be obtained by the following methods:
Calling the York Haven Dam at 266-3654 or, Calling the River Forecast Center at 1-814-234-9861 The river flow rate is then used along with the discharge flow rate to calculate the concentration in the river. Complete mixing is assumed by the time it h(#/ reaches the first drinking water station. The concentration in the river is then divided by the effluent concentrations in 10 CFR 20 Appendix B, Table 2, l Column 2, to determine the fraction of these concentrations in the river to downstream users.
9 The river concentration is used along with the total discharge time, to calculate the dose commitment to an individual from drinking the river water from one of the downstream intakes. The river concentration is multiplied by the duration of the release, the usage factor, the ingestion dose commitment factor for infants (Reg. Guide 1.109), and the infant usage factor (330 liters /yr) to obtain an estimated dose commitment for the downstream drinker. The infant dose is used because the product of the usage factor and DCF shows that the infant is the maximum age group for the predominant isotopes.
O A fiume arrival time is estimated for each known downstream user. The river volume flow is used in an algorithm based on a model derived from river dye i dilution and flow studies conducted from the TMi discharge. The algorithm l uses the following equation:
l Time (hrs) = Distance to Downstream User (Miles) l [ River flow (cfs) X .0283 (m'/ft')) " X 0.019667 l
l- 9 If the concentration of any nuclides in the river exceeds the concentrations specified in 10 CFR 20 Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, downstream users must be informed and recommended to curtail usage. Refer to Procedure 1203-44 for downstream users and telephone numbers.

TMI Emergency Dose Calculationi Manual (EDCM) 10 5.14 Off-site Air Samole Analysis 5.14.1 Introduction The results provided from field teams can be used to assess thyroid dose commitment.
The method involves collection of an air sample using a low flow (about 50 LPM) sampler with both a particulate filter and an iodine adsorber cartridge. The flow rate of the sampler, the duration of sample collection, the background of the frisker used to count the sample, the gross counts on the particulate filter, and the gross counts on the iodine cartridge are called into the RAC or EACC from the field teams. The RAC or EACC staff then can estimate the off-site dose commitment based on the sample.
5.14.2 Assumptions A calibrated face loaded iodine cartridge was obtained and was used to determine the actual efficiency of a Eberline E140N with a HP-210/260 type probe to be used for counting in the field. The results of several tests on combinations of different probes and ratemeters showed a consistent 0.0039 (0.39%) counting efficiency. (Reference 7.7, 7,10,7.11). Since 1-131 has a fairly strong beta (0.6 MeV max.), the usual particulate filter counting efficiency of 0.1 (10%)is used. The collection efficiency for both filters for these n]
[d calculations are assumed to be 1.0.
\
5.14.3 Calculation The method first calculates the net counts per minute for the particulate and iodine cartridge. Then, using the given efficiencies separately, it calculates the air concentration !
of gaseous and particulate iodines. These are then combined for a total air concentration. 1 A child breathing rate and dose conversion factor is then applied along with the estimated duration of exposure to obtain the off-site dose commitment.
i Since the plant RAC model normally accounts for five different iodine isotopes, the dose !
conversion factor (DCF) used is a weighted average of the child DCFs based on the ;
relative abundances of the five isotopes at damage classes of one and five with 100 '
minutes decay. This accounts for counts on the sarnples which will be caused by isotopes other than 1-131.
5.14.4 Example:
Given an off-site air sample was taken with the following results: <
Background = 100 cpm gross cartridge countrate = 200 cpm gross particulate countrate = 200 cpm flow rate through sampler = 50 LPM sample duration = 10 min, exposure duration = 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> DRCF = 4.0E8 mrem /hr pCi/cc v

TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 EXHIBIT 1 Page 1 of 163 Overview of the Emergency Information Network The Emergency Information Network (EIN) at TMl is a LAN based system that allows emergency organization personnel to view information on plant conditions and offsite dose projections during a plant emergency. Because it is a LAN based system, the same information can be viewed from any of the major emergency facilities. The ability of the different facilities to share common data during an emergency enhances communications within the emergency team, and minimizes the potential for conflicting information.
The heart of the EIN is the Continuous Online Assessment System or COLA. The COLA produces a new dose projection every 4 to 6 minutes and displays it on the EIN. This is accomplished by a central " Host Computer" retrieving Met Data, RMS readings, RCS Activity, lodine Spiking Factors, and plant information such as pressures, temperatures, flowrates etc from the plant's computer system. This information is used to produce a separate dose calculation for each of TMI's release pathways that are then added together for a complete dose projection from TMI. The dose projection is then sent to the Local Area Network (LAN) and is available for review by Emergency Management Personnel. Since the host computer automatically runs dose projections every 4 to 6 minutes, the RAC cannot produce a dose projection any time he/she wishes using the COLA.
In addition to the COLA, the EIN also provides the capability to run manual versions of the code. The Manual Codes are located on the hard drives of the dose projection computers in the emergency response facilities and are independent of the LAN system. As a result, they can be used if the LAN system is not operational for some reason.
\ j Because the manual codes are independent of the LAN system, the results are NOT displayed on the network.
U Therefore, information that is important to other personnel such as the Group Leader R&EC must be faxed to them.
The two versions of the manual code available on the EIN menu are:
O Manual Code - used to perform dose projections out to 30 miles. IREO personnel performing manual dose projections would use this code.
O Quick Code - a simplified manual code that would be used by the GRCS during the first hour if the COLA is not functional. Only an RMS reading and met data are required for entry.
The Manual Codes can be used for some of the following reasons:
e To perform a dose projection if the COLA is out of service e To perform dose projections between COLA dose projections S To perform a What If" dose projection.
9 To perform a dose projection if the data being retrieved by the COLA is considered inaccurate (i e., a bad RMG-25 reading).
9 To perform a dose projection if the release is not properly monitored by an RMS monitor.
9 To compare or validate the COLA dose projection for any other reason.

TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 EXHIBIT 1 Page 2 of 163 A much more detailed description of Manual Code calculations is discussed later in this manual The third dose projection component of the EIN is the MIDAS Plume Plot System. The COLA calculated source term leaving the plant is automatically imported into the MIDAS program, which produces plume plots. MIDAS calculates dose projections differently than the RAC codes. The RAC code is a straight-line gaussian model. That means it takes the source term leaving the plant at that moment and calculates the dose based on the most current met conditions. It ignores releases of radioactivity that occurred prior to the most current dose projection. It projects the doses that wi!l be seen offsite if things do not change. The MIDAS code is a particle in cell model. That means it I models the offsite doses by tracking the activity released every 15 minutes and coupling that activity with the met I data for that 15 minutes. As a result, it more closely approximates dose rates that should currentiv be seen offsite. I As a result, the MIDAS Plume Plots are used for comparison with field team and Reuter Stokes data. The EAC {
compares field team data it receives with the MIDAS Plume Plots. In addition, the EIN provides an option which displays a comparison of MIDAS projected doses with actual Reuter Stokes monitor readings. This comparison is used to check that the source term produced by the COLA is reasonable based on what we are seeing in the field.
The MIDAS Program can be run off the "C" drive by EACC personnel with manual input of source terms when the COLA is out of service.
Finally, the EIN also displays effluent RMS and plant area monitor readings. It also provides a listing of the
[, parameter values EIN appears on thethat were used in calculating the dose projection for each pathway. A schematic illu nextpage.

The Host Computer then uses the source term from the dose projection to produce a new MIDAS Plume Plot every 15 minutes. The MIDAS program produces a Beta / Gamma plot and a Thyroid Plot. These plots are produced in three different map sizes, island view,2.5 mile view, and 6 mile view. The primary purpose of MIDAS is to verify the dose projection.
The MIDAS program then produces the projected Reuter Stokes values again every 15 minutes. These projected Reuter Stokes values can be compared to the actual Reuter Stokes values as another confirmation of the dose projection. This is possible since MIDAS uses the same source term as the COLA dose projection and then
. produces the Reuter Stokes projected values.

- 1. MSR Release - This option allows RAC personnel to indicate to the COLA whether a Main Steam Relief Valve is open. A *1' entered in the parameter value indicates that a valve is open and a "0" indicates a closed position. The COLA will then calculate the flow rate based on the main steam pressure obtained from the PPM. This option is only accurate if ONE MSRV is open. In the unlikely event that more than one valve is stuck open the Manual RAC Code must then be used. The Manual Code allows inputs for the position of all of the MSRVs and ADVs. Also the COLA always uses RMG-26 or RMG-27. If this RMS monitor is isolated, which occurs when MSV 2A or 28 are closed, then the Manual Code (Contingency Calculation) must be used. An operator must be sent up to the Intermediate Building roof to visually check ;
the valve to verify whether a MSRV is really open. This requirement is incorporated into plant procedures. j
- 2. Release Duration - This edit option is probably the one most often changed by the RAC. Eight hours is the j default release duration used by the COLA. Anytime you want to enter another release duration other than j 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> simply select a number from 1-99 and enter it in the Parameter Value. Since this option has a direct i eNect on the integrated dose released from TMl, the number used must always come only from the Emergency Director. If you suspect the ED is giving you a conservative value for release duration question him on it.
- 3. Fuel Damage Class - This very important parameter is calculated by the COLA, using the average I temperature of the 5 highest incore detectors. However if you don't think this calculation is accurate, the ;
parameter can be edited by selecting 1 through 10 and entering it as the Parameter Value. One example of j the need to edit would occur if the core suffered mechanical damage unrelated to temperature and pressure.
l' A Damage Class of 2,3, or 4 would then be entered as the Parameter Value.
I I, Keep in mind that once core damage occurs it can never be repaired. The COLA calculated damage class Q may decrease based on the cooling of the core but the previously htgher Damige Class must continue to be used by using the editing option.

. The purpose of the Fuel Damage Class is to determine what percentage each of the 10 noble gas and 5 iodine isotopes contribute to the total RCS activity. The total RCS activity is not important since the activdy leaving the plant is being directly measured by an RMS monitor for all COLA calculations. If the COLA uses damage class 1, then the current RCS activity that was entered on the LAN or the edited RCS Activity will be used. If Damage Class 2 though 10 IF either calculated by COLA or manually edited, then the RCS activities listed in the EDCM for each Damage Class will be used in the calculation of the source term. Also the noble gas and iodine Spiking factors are only used when the Damage Class is 1. Damage Class 1 with a spike is considered to be Damage Class 1 A.
Also the Damage Class can determine how much offsite CDE Child Thyroid Dose will occur as compared to
- the offsite TEDE Whole Body Dose, i.e., if the Damage Class is 1 though 4 the NG to iodine ratio is approximately 5 to 1. When the Damage Class increases to 5 though 10 the NG to iodine ratio changes drastically to 0.63. Therefore a increase to Damage Class 5 or above will cause a significant increase in the Child Thyroid Dose as compared to the TEDE Whole Body Dose
- 4. Wind Speed - Enter 1 - 99 as the Parameter Value Wind Direction - Enter 0 - 360 as the parameter value Delta Temp - Enter + 10 as the parameter value Bear in mind that the COLA will retrieve Met Data from the Met Tower whether the data is accurate or not.
This could occur if the Met Tower goes out of service (O's would be displayed by the COLA). This also
' would render the weather charts in the Control Room inaccurate. If this occur contact the EACC for the correct Met Data to input in the Parameter Edits.
Another problem might be that the met tower is operational, but has stopped communicating with the host computer. In this case the host computer will continue to use the last met data it received from the tower.
The user should be alert to the fact that met data that does not change at all over the course of 30 to 45 ,
minutes .nay indicate that the communication has broken down. Control room instrumentation should be checked to verify that the met data is accurate. l Active or inactive Parameter Edits - Placing a "1" in the Parameter Edit box will cause the entered )
Parameter Value to be used by the COLA or to be active. Therefore a *0' would cause the value to be inactive. Remember that once a value is made active, it stays that way until the inactive option is chosen.
After all of the editmg of the Parameter Edits screen is completed and the selections made active, hit the F10 key to close out the screen.

MAP-5 samples cannot be input into the COLA, as there are no noble gas results. MAP-5 sample calculations must be performed using the manual codes. These samples provide a more refined dose projection than ones calculated from RMS data since they provide a GELI analysis of each isotope.

O11. Rad Engineering updates the default RCS activities on this screen as RCS changes during the core life.
RCS sample results are only used in the COLA dose projection if the Fuel Damage Class is 1. If the core damage is Damage Class 2 through 10, the COLA will use the RCS activities listed in the EDCM. Since the RCS activities listed in the EDCM are conservative it would be justified to request a Post Accident RCS Sample and input the results in the Sample Edit screen. You would then have to edit the Damage Class in 1 in order for the results to be used by the COLA. One major difference between this screen and the 10 pathway screens are the results are always active.
- 12. Reactor Coolant Spiking Factors - Normally the spiking factors, which are determined by the Nuclear Engineering Group, are entered onto the LAN by Rad Engineering. If these values are considered inaccurate, then the spiking factors may be edited using this screen. Remember that spiking factors are only used when the Damage Class is 1 AND the plant is at 0% power. One major difference between this screen ,
and the 10 pathway screens is the results are always active. l To use this screen, select the release pathway and hit the F10 key to reach the actual isotopic input screen. l Also you can select either the RCS activity or spiking Factors screen and then hit the F10 key for these ;
inputs. Remember that the RCS activity and spiking factors screens are always active and used by the l COLA, therefore the results in these two screens must always be accurate and up to date. If Post Accident i RCS results are being used, ensure the spiking factors on this screen are set to 1, or the code will erroneously spike the sample results.

MIDAS Screen - The primary purpose of the MIDAS Screen is to compare field team readings and to indicate the plume location in order to send out field monitoring teams. If the field monitoring team results match up with this screen, then the accuracy of the dose projection is confirmed. The Grzp Leader R&EC is in charge of the dose assessment process and will determine which cose projection / field team ratio is acceptable to confirm the dose projection and possible PAR.
l Both the dose projection model and the MIDAS Program use the same source term and should be in reasonable agreement if the COLA calculations are correct. The COLA dose projection source term is cutomatically used by MIDAS, however if the Manual Code is used by RAC personnel, the source term results must be provided to the EACC in order to be added to MIDAS.
The MIDAS Program provides a snapshot that takes into account residual airbome radiation for a 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> block of time. It uses 8,15 minute sets of Met Data and is updated with a new set of data every 15 minutes. A new MIDAS Plume Plot snapshot is also updated every 15 minutes with the oldest Met Data set being eliminated and the new set of data added. As you can see MIDAS uses a different dispersion model than the RAC dose projection program, which projects the highest dose for the current time. This is why the COLA or Manual dose projection and not MIDAS is used for comparison to the PAGs and possible PAR. A PAR only looks at what the predicted integrated dose is for the future time of the release duration, not what has been released in the past. MIDAS includes past radioactivity in the atmosphere in its plume plots.

TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 EXHIBIT 1 Page 15 of 163 Because the dose projecten model and MIDAS use the same source term but different dispersion models (15 minutes vs. 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />), their results will most likely not match up. Since both programs use the same source term, if the field monitoring team results match up with MIDAS the dose projecten is confirmed. If the results are unacceptable an investigation among dose assessment personnel is prudent. Here are some potential problems:
- 1. Did the Field Team really find plume centerline 2.L is there an unusual release pathway that is not indicated on the COLA
- 3. Is the COLA using inaccurate information such as Met Data, RMS, flow rates
- 4. Are RMG 26 or RMG 27 results being incorrectly used by the COLA.
- 5. Is the Manual Code in use with more than one release pathway occurring from TMI.
Another difference between the dose projecten and MIDAS is that MIDAS uses precipitation (wet deposition) in its calculation unlike the RAC Code models.
Midas normally uses the same source term and met data as the COLA dose projection program. MIDAS O automatically used the source term andretneves met data are these parameters not automatically added to MIDASwhen the by the Host COLA Computer. EACCis valid. Howev personnel must then use the " Stand Alone MIDAS" program to add met data and source term data. RAC personnel must then provide the source term results from the manual dose projection to the EACC. EACC personnel can get the met data ir. puts from the LAN that need to be added to MIDAS. If LAN is down, a Meteorologist or the National Weather Service can be contacted Also if the manual dose projecten program is being used and the release is a Buoyant Plume Rise the release height found on the downwind dose results must be faxed to the EACC. This is only for releases via a MSRV or ADV.

The Effluent RMS Screen is updated from the Plant Performance Monitor (PPM) every 4 - 6 minutes. The screen displays the associated RMS effluent monitors by release pathway. This screen can be very useful to help validate the release pathway during evaluation of the COLA dose projection. It also can be helpful to trend RMS data since these screens are saved once any Radiological EAL is reached. This screen provides a " quick look" to see if any other release pathway RMS are increasing which could possibly affect the dose projection.

F1: Next F2: Prev Alt F10: Abort F10: Done The Quick Code was designed with the on shift GRCS in mind. In the first hour of an event if the COLA goes out of service the GRCS has two options to produce a dose projection, the Manual RAC Code or the Quick Code. It takes time to gather all of the inputs for the Manual RAC Code and the luxury of time may not be available. As you can see above, the Quick Code inputs are all on one screen and consist of the RMS monitor and reading associated with the reler:se pathway and met data. Default flow rates for each pathway are used in the Quick Code .As with the Manual RAC Code the Quick Code can only handle one release pathway. Also this code produces very conservative results during core damage situations as it uses a 1-1 iodine to noble gas ratio.

TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 EXHIBIT 1 Page 27 of 163 i Manual RAC Code (9)
The Manual RAC Code is an option on the Emergency Information Network that will produce a dose projection based on user input, rather than data from the plant computer. The Manual RAC Code can be used for some of the following reasons:
S To produce a dose projection if data being retrieved by the COLA is considered inaccurate (i.e. a bad RMG-25 reading or met data).
O To perform a *What If" dose projection e Having a release through the MSRVs with MSV 2N2B in the closed position since the COLA automatically uses RMG-26/27.
O Multiple MSRVs are stuck open at the same time.
O RB Design Basis Leakage release with RMG 22/23 out of service.
9 To compare or validate the dose projection for any other reason.
( e To estimate offsite doses beyond 10 miles.
Results from the Manual Code are not displayed on the LAN therefore they must be faxed to the EACC. Also if the ,
Manual RAC Code is used, the source term results must be faxed to the EACC so they can be entered into the l MIDAS program. If the COLA is inaccurate then the MIDAS results produced from the COLA source term is inaccurate. The Manual Code source term results must be entered into MIDAS in this situation. In addition, if the COLA is inaccurate then the Group Leader RE&C, the EAC, and the state BRP representative must be notified that the COLA displays are not accurate.
One disadvantage of the Manual Code is that it can handle only one release pathway at a time. If two release pathways are significant, each one must be run separate and the results added together.

4 TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 EXHIBIT 1 Page 29 of 163 Instructions for Rebooting the COLA I There are times when transients in the LAN system occur that cause the host computer performing the dose projections to lock up. As a result, the host computer quits performing dose projections and the last dose projection on the EIN will be more than 10 - 15 minutes old. When the COLA is locked up, it needs to be rebooted. A remote COLA reboot device has been installed to do this. The following steps can be used to reboot the COLA from any site phone. Reboot can also be accompli.*5ed from an off-site phone simply by dialing 948" before the extension.
If the automated dose projection system host computer (COLA host) is " locked up", reboot it as Ollows:
Dial the COLA computer's reboot device at extension 8297.
The call will connect and an electronic voice will state "please enter your access code,". Wait until the l message is complete then enter "1979". I 1
The reboot electronic voice will then state " power is on" or " power is off" (normally " power is on")" l To reboot the COLA:
,Q Press "2" (the electronic voice will state " power is off').
Press "1" (the electronic voice will state " power is on").
Hang up the phone. The host computer will begin rebooting immediately.
Go to the YMPRAC directory and type reset, then press enter.
The process may take up to 15 minutes before new dose projections appear.

TMl Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 EXHIBIT 1 Page 36 of 163 Condenser Offgas COLA Calculation Using RMS How it works:
The isotopic distribution of activity leaving the plant is assumed to be the same as the isotopic distribution of activity in the RCS after adjusting for iodine losses (reduction factors) applicable to this pathway. The total activity in the RCS is not important to this calculation, just the RCS isotopic distribution.
The iodine reduction factor for this pathway is 0.0075 (1/133) based on partitioning of iodine in the condenser e
The RMS monitor (RM-A-5, RM-A-15 RM-A-5 Hi, or RM-G-25) determines the activity leaving via this pathway. These monitors will respond to both increases in RCS activity and primary-to-secondary leakrate.
. The logic the COLA uses in picking which monitor to perform the calculation is as follows:
9 O If RM-G-25 and RM-A-5 Hi both read s 100, the COLA is using the highest reading on RM-A-5 or RM-A-f5.
9 If RM-A-5 Hi reads > 100 cpm, but RM-G-25 is < 100 mR/hr, the COLA is using RM-A-5 Hi.
e If RM-G-25 reads > 100 mR/hr, the COLA is using RM-G-25 e Once the COLA determines the isotopic concentrations leaving via COG, it uses the COG flow rate from the plant computer to determine the uCi/sec leaving the plant (source term).
- Having developed the source term, the COLA uses the meteorological dispersion model to calculate the concentrations and doses at distances from the plant.

Condenser offgas monitor increases can result from increased RCS activity or increased primary-to-secondary leakage, or a combination of the two. If a sudden increase occurs: l i
e Check for signs of increased RCS activity. Coincident increases on RM-L-1, RM-G-22, RM-G-23, ;
RM-G-6, or RM-G-7 may indicate increased RCS activity from fuel damage. Also check the '
ED/ESD Screen for changes in Fuel Damage Class based on thermal hydraulic conditions in the core.
O Check for signs of increased primary-to-secondary leakage. Check with STA or TSC to determine if !
leak rate changes have been observed.
l e Remember that if fuel damage has occurred, it cannot get better. l 9 If damage has occurred, but RCS temperature and pressure improve, the COLA will reduce the Fuel
( Damage Class.
O If this occurs, the user must edit the damage class using the Parameter Edit Screen to lock in the {
higher damage class.
O After doing this, the user must watch RCS temperature and pressure to ensure that damage class j does not increase beyond the damage class assumed. :
e If post accident RCS results are to be input into the Reactor Coolant Baseline Activity Edit Screen, ensure the Fuel damage class is set to 1 on the Parameter Edit Screen and the spiking factors in the Sample Edit Screen are set to 1, if the COLA is using a damage class greater than 1, the COLA will use the default isotopic activities for that damage class instead of the post accident samples that were input. If the spiking factors are not set to 1, the COLA will erroneously apply the spiking factors to the input sample results.
- Monitor met data. If met data shows absolutely no changes for a 30 - 45 minute period, there may be a problem with the data. Verify met data with EACC and/or Control Room indications.
e Remember that the CDE contributes to the TEDE. Do not expect field team dose rate readings to match up with TEDE projections. Roughly 3% of the CDE dose is included in the TEDE dose. Ensure field teams get iodine samples even if E-520 dose rates are low.
Depending on the physical form of iodine in the field, the "LLD" for thyroid dose rates measured by field teams could be as high as 5 mrem /hr based on a 10 minute air sample.

Effluents leaving via COG are sampled using a MAP-5 sample or a pre-filter marinelli sample e
if a pre-filter marinelli sample is used, the user enters the positive noble gas and iodine isotope concentrations from the analysis when prompted by the code.
If a MAP-5 sample is used, the user enters the positive iodine isotope concentrations from the analysis when prompted by the code. Since MAP-5 samples do not provide noble gas resdts, manual code will scale in the noble gases. It assumes that the noble gas to iodine ratio leaving COG is the same as the isotopic distribution of activity in the RCS after adjusting for iodine losses (reduction factors) applicable to this pathway.

- This calculation is very useful for performing "What If" calculdsons, where the precise response of an RMS monitor to a change in plant conditions cannot be predictez
. This calculation uses no RMS data. The isotopic distribution and total activity being released via this pathway is equal to the product of the primary-to-secondary leak rate and the activity concentration in the RCS, after adjusting for iodine losses (reduction factors) applicable to this pathway. It is independent of condenser offgas flow rate.
e The iodine reduction factor for this pathway is 0.0075 (1/133) based on partitioning of iodine in the condenser. It is accounted for in the manual code.
e Unlike RMS calculations, this calculation is very dependent on RCS total activity. As a result, the code has the ability to use RM-L-1 high or low readings to estimate total RCS activity. The user may also specify a t

Condenser Offgas Manual Code Calculation Contingency Calculation Problems to Watch For
. Of all calculations available, contingency calculations are the least accurate. They should only be used when RMS data or effluent samples are not available. Contingency calculations are ideal for performing "What If" calculations, where the precise response of an RMS monitor to a change in plant conditions cannot be predicted.
e This type of calculation is very dependent on total RCS activity. The code will adjust RCS total activity if an RM-L-1 reading is input. Prior to inputting an RM-L 1 reading, verify that RCS letdown is not secured. If it I has been secured (and it typically is during this type of accident), RM-L-1 readings should not be used unless the user is sure that the last reading is representative of current RCS conditions. Note that due to travel time in the sample lines, RM-L-1 may take up to 30 minutes before responding to a change in RCS activity.
If RM-L-1 readings are not available, the code will permit the user to enter a total RCS activity (uCi/cc)if this b.
(
is known, it gen'erally is not. An example of when this could be used is if an RCS sample has just been pulled but has not been analyzed. If the dose rate on the sample is a factor of 10 higher than a normal RCS sample, it can be inferred that the RCS activity is 10 times higher than it was prior to the incident. Be aware, entering a total RCS activity will replace damage class default RCS activities and spiking factors.
- Remember that if fuel damage has occurred, it cannot get better.
O If damage has occurred but RCS temperature and pressure improve, and the new values are input into the code, the code will reduce the Fuel Damage Class.
S If this occurs, the user must specify the damage class instead of entering pressure and temperature.
O After doing this, the user must watch RCS temperature and pressure to ensure that damage class does not increase beyond the damage class assumed.
- Consider getting an effluent sample from this pathway (MAP-5 or pre-filter /marineffi) to increase the accuracy of the dose projection.
e if post accident RCS results are to be input into code, specify that the Fuel Damage Class as 1 and there has been no power transient when the code asks. If the code is using a damage class greater than 1, the code will use the default isotopic activities for that damage class instead of the post accident samples that were input.
e Remember that the CDE contributes to the TEDE. Do not expect field team dose rate readings to match up with TEDE projections. Roughly 3% of the CDE dose is included in the TEDE dose. Ensure field teams get iodine samples even if E-520 dose rates are low.

The RMS monitor (RM-G 22 or RM-G 23) determines the airborne activity in the reactor building. The COLA uses the higher of the readings on RM-G-22 or RM-G-23. If RM-G-22 or 23 read less than 1.5 R/hr, the COLA assumes they are seeing only background and assumes they read 0 for dose calculations. It does not use RMA-2 in the calculation.
Once the COLA determines the isotopic concentrations in the reactor building, it uses the leakage flow rate

Manual Code Calculation J Using Samples l How it works:
A sample of the reactor building atmosphere can be obtained using the CATPASS system.
The user enters the positive noble gas and iodine isotope concentrations from the analysis when prompted by the code.
Once the isotopic concentrations in the reactor building are input, the code uses the leakage flow rate from i the building, based on a user input building pressure, to determine the uCi/sec leaking from the reactor I building (source term). Reduction of RB pressure to atmospheric pressure stops releases from this '
pathway.
Having developed the source term, the code uses the meteorological dispersion model to calculate the l concentrations and doses at distances from the plant.
THIS PATHWAY IS ALWAYS CONSIDERED A GROUND LEVEL RELEASE l
User Inouts Needed to Perform the Calculation l Plant data inputs are available on Area 38, Group 37 of the PPC (See STA)
Met Data is available on Area 19, Group 2 of the PPC (See STA) :

The CATPASS system takes 45 minutes to warm up so direct the OSC to start the warm up as soon as you think you may want this type of sample.
The sample will typically be collected from the cooler discharge rather than the isokinetic nozzle to reduce moisture in the sample.
The user must ensure that the sample results are representative of current plant conditions. If plant conditions change significantly after the sample was obtained, the user should begin using COLA or manual code RMS calculations.

They should only be used when RMS data or effluent samples are not available. Contingency calculations are ideal for performing "What If" calculations, where the precise response of an RMS monitor to a change ln plant conditions cannot be predicted.
. This type of calculation is very dependent on total RCS activity. The code will adjust RCS total activity if an RM-L-1 reading,is input. Prior to inputting an RM-L-1 reading, verify that RCS letdown is not secured. If it
/p\ has been secured (and it typically is during this type of accident), RM-L-1 readings should not be used h unless the user is sure that the last reading is representative of current RCS conditions. Note that due to travel time in the sample lines, RM-L-1 may take up to 30 minutes before responding to a change in RCS activity.
. if RM-L-1 readings are not available, the code will permit the user to ente a total RCS activity (uCi/cc) if this is known. It generally is not. An example of when this could be used is ;f an RCS sample has just been pulled but has not been analyzed. If the dose rate on the sample it, a factor of 10 higher than a normal RCS sample, it can be inferred that the RCS activity is 10 times higher thar6 it was prior to the incident. Be aware.
enterina a total RCS activity will replace damaae class default RCS activities and spikina factors.
e The code will prompt the user for the total RCS leakage into the reactor building. If the leakage is less than 63,000 gallons (one RCS volume), the actual leakage should be input. If the leakage is more than 63,000 gallons, a maximum of 63,000 gallons should be used. Inputting more than 63,000 gallons will overestimate the source term because it will put more activity in the building than is available for release from the RCS.
e if the total RCS leakage is not known, the code will assume the entire RCS volume (63,000 gallons) has been released to the building using a damage class 4. If total RCS leakage is not known and the damage class is other than 4, the user should respond that the leakage is known and specify the leakage as 63,000 gallons.
- Remember that if fuel damage has occurred, it cannot get better.
9 If damage has occurred but RCS temperature and pressure improve, and the new values are input into the code, the code will reduce the Fuel Damage Class.

How it works:
The isotopic distribution of activity leaving the plant is assumed to be the same as the isotopic distribution of activity in the RCS after adjusting for iodine losses (reduction factors) applicable to this pathway. The total activity in the RCS is not important to this calculation, just the RCS isotopic distribution.
The iodine reduction factor for this pathway is 0.5 based on partitioning of iodine in the steam generators.
Additional iodine reduction can occur if the OTSG level is raised above 600 inches.
. The RMS monitor (RM-G-26 or RM-G27) determines the activity in the main steam. These monitors will respond to botn increases in RCS activity and primary-to-secondary leaktate.
. The COLA uses the higher reading of RM-G-26 or RM-G-27
. Once the COLA determines the isotopic concentrations in the main steam line, it uses the mass flow rate
/p\ through the EFF turbine (based on emergency feedwater being supplied) to determine the UCi/sec leaving
( the plant (source term).

They should only be used when RMS data or effluent samples are not available. Contingency calculations are ideal for performing j "What If" calculations, where the precise response of an RMS monitor to a change in plant conditions cannot i be predicted.

Raising the OTSG ievel to 600 inches will provide additional iodine reduction. Request that the ED consider
/
n )e increasing OTSG level for this purpose.
This type of calculation is very dependent on total RCS activity. The code will adjust RCS total activity if an RM-L-1 reading is input. Prior to inputting an RM-L-1 reading, verify that RCS letdown is not secured. If it has been secured (and it typically is during this type of accident), RM-L-1 readings should not be used unless the user is sure that the last reading is representative of current RCS conditions. Note that due to travel time in the sample lines, RM-L-1 may take up to 30 minutes before responding to a change in RCS activity.
e if RM-L-1 readings are not available, the code will permit the user to enter a total RCS activity (uCi/cc) if this is known. It generally is not. An example of when this could be used is if an RCS sample has just been pulled but has not been analyzed. If the dose rate on the sample is a factor of 10 higher than a normal RCS sample, it can be inferred that the RCS activity is 10 times higher than it was prior to the incident. Be aware, entering a total RCS activity will replace damage class default RCS activities and spiking factors.
- Remember that if fuel damage has occurred, it cannot get better.

if the MS-V-2 valves are closed, RM-G-26 and RM-G-27 are isolated from steam flow and may not be representative of current main steam conditions. Determine MS-V 2 position from the ED. With the MS-V-2 valves closed, manual code contingency calculations should be used to calculate offsite doses unless the last known reading on these monitors is known to be representative of current main steam conditions.
- Since the COLA does not know whether the open MSR is on the A or B side, and because it uses the highest of the main steam monitor readings, it can be a conservative calculation. For example, if the open MSR is on the B side (RM-G-27) but it is the OTSG-A that is leaking (RM-G-26), the COLA is assuming that an A side MSR is open, resulting in what could be a very conservative calculation. Should this type of situation occur, the manual code RMS calculation should be used to see how conservative the COLA is.
l RM-G-26 and RM-G-27 are accident range monitors and are relatively insensitive. As a result, they will tend to overestimate offsite doses at low count rates. Normal background from the check sources on these monitors is typically 30 to 50 cpm.

Of all calculations available, contingency calculations are the least accurate. They should only be used when RMS data or effluent samples are not available. Contingency calculations are ideal for performing "What If" calculations, where the precise response of an RMS monitor to a change in plant conditions cannot be predicted.
e if the steam driven EFP (EFP-1) is on, request that the ED switch over to the electrically driven pumps to terminate this release pathway. If this is not possible, request that the ED use the auxiliary boilers to drive the pump. Ask to switch to the unaffected OTSG until the boilers can be used.
)e Raising the OTSG level to 600 inches will provide additionaliodine reduction. Request that the ED consider Q/ increasing OTSG level for this purpose.
This type of calculation is very dependent on total RCS activity. The code will adjust RCS total activity if an RM-L-1 reading is input. Prior to inputting an RM-L-1 reading, verify that RCS letdown is not secured. If it has been secured (and it typically is during this type of accident), RM-L-1 readings should not be used unless the user is sure that the last reading is representative of current RCS conditions. Note that due to travel time in the sample lines, RM-L-1 may take up to 30 minutes before responding to a change in RCS activity.
e if RM-L-1 readings are not available, the code will permit the user to enter a total RCS activity (uCi/cc) if this is known. It generally is not. An example of when this could be used is if an RCS sample has just been pulled but has not been analyzed. If the dose rate on the sample is a factor of 10 higher than a normal RCS sample, it can be inferred that the RCS activity is 10 times higher than it was prior tu the incident. Be aware, entering a total RCS activity will replace damage class default RCS activities and spiking factors.
- Remember that if fuel damage has occurred, it cannot get better.
O if damage has occurred but RCS temperature and pressure improve, and the new values are input into the code, the code will reduce the Fuel Damage Class.
9 If this occurs, the user must specify the damage class instead of entering pressure and temperature.
9 After doing this, the user must watch RCS temperature and pressure to ensure that damage class does not increase beyond the damage class assumed.
. Effluent samples are not available for this pathway. Consider requesting an RCS sample (normal or post s accident) to increase the accuracy of the dose projection.

The isotopic distribution of activity leaving the plant is assumed to be the same as the isotopic distribution of activity in the RCS after adjusting for iodine losses (reduction factors) applicable to this pathway. The total activity in the RCS is not important to this calculation, just the RCS isotopic distribution.
i e
The iodine reduction factor for this pathway is a combination of primary system iodine retention (0.4) and charcoal filtration efficiency specified by the user (E). The totaliodine reduction factor is then (0.4)(1-E),
normally = 0.004.
The RMS monitor (RM-A 4,6, or 8 Gas, RM-A-4,6, or 8 lodine, or RM-A-8 high) determines the activity leaving via this pathway. These monitors will respond to both increases in RCS activity and increased leakage into the auxiliary / fuel handling building.
The user selects whether RM-A-4, RM-A-6, RM-A-8 or RM-A-8 High is used for the calculation:
() e if RM-A-8 or RM-A-8 High is selected, the code will ask the user if RM-A-8 lodine is on scale. If the answer is yes, the code will calculate the lodine source term base on the current and previous iodine channel readings specified by the user. If RM-A-8 iodine is offscale, the iodine source term is scaled in from the noble gas to iodine ratio after adjusting for iodine losses (reduction factors) applicable to this pathway, e if RM-A-4 or RM-A4 are selected. The code assumes the iodine channels are onscale and iodine l channels must be input to get an iodine source term.
O If RM-A-4 or RM-A-6 are selected, or if RM-A-8 lodine is offscale, the code will ask the user if the charcoal filters are operational. If they are, the code will prompt the user to input their efficiency.
The efficiency should be input as 0.99 unless information from the TSC indicates another value should be used.
. Once the code determines the isotopic concentrations leaving via station vent, it uses the flow rate to i
determine the uCi/sec leaving the plant (source term).
. Having developed the source term, the code uses the meteorological dispersion model to calculate the l concentrations and doses at distances from the plant.

This code provides a quick, but crude, estimate of offsite dose. As such it should only be used by the on-shift RAC, d'aring the first hour of an emergency, if the COLA Code is not available.
This code requires an RMS reading for its calculation. If an RMS reading is not available, a manual code contingency calculation must be performed.

The RCS mixture is assumed to have the same isotopic distribution as a Fuel Damage Class 2.
The iodine reduction factor for this pathway is a combination of primary system iodine retention (0.4) and charcoal filtration (0.1). The total iodine reduction factor should be (0.4)(0.1) = 0.04. This is conservative since the charcoal filtration of iodines should be closer to 99% efficient.

The user selects whether RM-A-9, RM-A-9 High, or RM-G-24 is used for the calculation. The logic the code uses in picking which monitor to perform the calculation is as follows:
9 if RM-A-9, RM-A-9 High, or RM-G-24 is selected, the code will ask the user if RM-A-9 lodine is on scale. If the answer is yes, the code will calculate the iodine source term based on the current and previous iodine channel readings specified by the user. If RM-A-9 iodine is offscale, the iodine source term is scaled in from the noble gas to iodine ratio after adjusting for iodine losses (reduction factors) applicable to this pathway.
9 If RM-A-9, RM-A-9 High, or RM-G-24 are selected, and RM-A-9 lodine is offscale, the code will ask the user if the charcoal filters are operational. If they are, the code will prompt the user to input their g efficiency. The efficiency (E) should be input as 0.99 unless information from the TSC indicates another value should be used.
Once the code determines the isotopic concentrations leaving via the reactor building purge exhaust, it uses the flow rate input by the user to determine the UCi/sec leaving the plant (source term).
- Having developed the source term, the code uses the meteorological dispersion model to calcula'te the concentrations and doses at distances from the plant.
This pathway can be a ground level release, an elevated release, or a mixture of the two depending on the flow rate from station vent and the reactor building purge exhaust and the meteorological conditions present.

TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 EXHIBIT 1 Page 126 of 163 Reactor Building Purge Exhaust Manual Code Calculation Contingency Calculation How it works:
This calculation is very useful for performing "What If" calculations ~, where the precise response of an RMS monitor to a change in plant conditions cannot be predicted.
This calculation uses no RMS data. The isotopic distribution and total activity being released via this pathway is equal to the product of the total leakage into the reactor building and the activity concentration in the RCS, after adjusting for iodine losses (reduction factors) applicable to this pathway.
The iodine reduction factor for this pathway is a combiriation of reduction by natural processes (0.4) or reduction by reactor building spray (0.03) and charcoal filtration (E) specified by the user. The total iodine reduction factor with no reactor building spray is then (0.4)(1-E), normally 0.004. The totaliodine reduction factor with reactor building spray is then (0.03)(1-E), normally = 0.0003.
Unlike RMS calculations, this calculation is very dependent on RCS total activity. As a result, the code has
\
the ability to use'RM-L-1 high or low readings to estimate total RCS activity. The user may also specify a total RCS activity.
= Once the code determines the isotopic concentrations in the reactor building, it uses the reactor building purge exhaust flow rate to determine the uCi/sec leaking from the building (source term).
e Having developed the source term, the code uses the meteorological dispersion model to calculate the concentrations and doses at distances from the plant.

Of all calculations available, contingency calculations are the least accurate. They should only be used when RMS data or effluent samples are not available. Contingency calculations are ideal for performing "What If" calculations, where the precise response of an RMS monitor to a change in plant conditions cannot be predicted, e
This type of calculation is very dependent on total RCS activity. The code will adjust RCS total activity if an RM-L-1 reading is input. Prior to inputting an RM-L-1 reading, verify that RCS letdown is not secured. If it has been secured (and it typically is during this type of accident), RM-L-1 readings should not be used
- unless the user is sure that the last reading is representative of current RCS conditions. Note that due to
'[ m) travel time in the' sample lines, RM-L-1 may take up to 30 minutes before responding to a change in RCS V activity.
e if RM-L-1 readings are not available, the code will permit the user to enter a total RCS activity (uCi/cc) if this '
is known. It generally is not. An example of when this could be used is if an RCS sample has just been pulled but has not been analyzed. If the dose rate on the sample is a factor of 10 higher than a normal RCS sample, it can be inferred that the RCS activity is 10 times higher than it was prior to the incident. Be aware, entering a total RCS activity will replace damage class default RCS activities and spiking factors.
e The code will prompt the user for the total RCS leakage into the reactor building. If the leakage is less than 63,000 gallons (one RCS volume), the actualleakage should be input. If the leakage is more than 63,000 gallons, a maximum of 63,000 gallons should be used. Inputting more than 63,000 gallons will overestimate the source term because it will put more activity in the building than is available for release from the core.
e if the total RCS leakage is not known, the code will assume the entire RCS volume (63,000 gallons) has been released to the building using a damage class 4. If total RCS leakage is not known and the damage class is other than 4, the user should respond that the total leakage is known and specify the leakage as 63,000 gallons.
. Remember that if fuel damage has occurred, it cannot get better.
S If damage has occurred but RCS temperature and pressure improve, and the new values are input into the code, the code will reduce the Fuel Damage Class.
9 If this occurs, the user must specify the damage class instead of entering pressure and temperature.

TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 EXHIBIT 1 Page 137 of 163 ESF Fuel Handling Building Manual Code Calculation Using Samples How it works:
Effluents leaving via the reactor building purge exhaust are sampled using an RM-A 14 iodine sample or a pre-filter marinelli Gample.
if a pre-filter marinelli sample is used, the user enters the positive noble gas and iodine isotope concentrations from the analysis when prompted by the code.
e if a radioiodine sample is used, the user enters the positive iodine isotope concentrations from the analysis when prompted by the code. Since radioiodine samples do not provide noble gas results, manual code will scale in the noble gases. It assumes that the noble gas to iodine ratio leaving the ESF ventilation is the same as the isotopic distribution of activity in the damaged fuel assembly after adjusting for iodine losses (reduction factors) applicable to this pathway.
p' e The iodine reduction factor for this pathway is a combination of reduction by decontamination in the spent
! fuel pool (0.01) snd charcoal filtration (E). The total iodine reduction factor is then (0.01)(1-E), normally =
( 0.0001
. The code assumes a ventilation flow rate of 7000 cfm.
- Once the isotopic concentrations leaving via the ESF Vent are entered, the code uses the ESF Vent flow rate to determine the uCi/sec leaving the plant (source term).

The total activity in the fuel assembly is not important to this calculation, just the isotopic distribution.
.. - The iodine reduction factor for this pathway is a combination of reduction by decontamination in the fuel transfer canal (0.01) and charcoal filtration (E). The total iodine reduction factor is then (0.01)(1-E), normally
= 0.0001,
- e ' If the purge valves are open, the RMS monitor (RM-A-9 Gas, RM-A-9 lodine, RM-A-9 High, or RM-G-24) determines the activity leaving via this pathway.
- - The user selects whether RM-A-9, RM-A-9 High, or RM-G-24 is used for the calculation. The logic the codd uses in picking which monitor to perform the calculation is as follows:
9 If RM-A-9, RM-A-9 High, or RM-G-24 is selected, the code will ask the user if RM-A-9 lodine is on scale. If the answer is yes, the code will calculate the iodine source term based on the current and previous iodine channel readings specified by the user. If RM-A-9 iodine is offscale, the iodine source term is scaled in from the noble gas to iodine ratio after adjusting for iodine losses (reduction factors) applicable to this pathway.
9 . If RM-A-9, RM-A-9 High, or RM-G-24 are selected, and RM-A-9 lodine is offscale, the code will ask the user if the charcoal filters are operational. If they are, the code will prompt the user to input their efficiency. The efficiency (E) should be input as 0.99 unless information from the TSC indicates another value should be used.
- . Once the code determines the isotopic concentrations leaving via the reactor building purge exhaust, it uses the flow rate to determine the uCi/sec leaving the plant (source term).
.. If the purge valves are closed, the RMS monitor (RM-A-2) determines the airbome activity in the reactor

e f Once the code determines the isotopic concentrations in the reactor building, it uses the leakage flow rate from the building, based on building pressure input by the user, to determine the UCi/sec leaving the plant (source term).

The isotopic distribution of activity in the tank is assumed to be the same as the isotopic distribution of activity in TM' 1 FSAR Table 14.2-21 for the design basis waste gas decay tank rupture. The total activity in the tank is nn aportant to this calculation, just the isotopic distribution.
e The iodine reduction factor for this pathway is solely charcoal filtration (E). The total iodine reduction factor is normally (1-E) = 0.01.
The RMS monitor (RM-A-4,6, or 8 Gas; RM-A-4,6, or 8 lodine, or RM-A-8 high) determines the activity leaving via this pathway. These monitors will respond to a waste gas decay tank rupture as well as increases in RCS activity and increased leakage into the auxiliary / fuel handling building.

- Consider getting an effluent sample from this pathway (MAP-5 or pre-filter /marinelli) as soon as possible.

TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 EXHIBIT 1 Page 153 of 163 PSLR vs COG RMS Reading Graphs Graphs are presented in this section w'hich can be used to provide a rough estimate of PSLR based on condenser off gas monitor readings and estimated RCS activitios. The graphs are referenced in RAF 6612-97-011. The following assumptions were used in the graphs:
- The condenser off gas flow rate was fixed at 50 cfm to simplify the correction of the PSLR for the actual COG flow during use. The correction is made by taking the Factor value from the graph and multiplying it by the actual flow divided by 50 cfm.
Total RCS activity for the purposes of these graphs are the total iodine and noble gas activity. Tritium is not to be included in the total RCS activity.
For RCS activities 10 uCi/cc and below, the isotopic mix is assumed to be the same as TMl Cycle 9, which represents a core with fut pin defects that are present prior to the PSLR.
Do ngl adjust total RCS activity for iodine spiking. The RCS total activities listed on the graphs are not intended to be used with iodine spiking factors since most of the iodine transferred to the secondary side
- f. does not leave via the condenser off gas. For example, if the RCS activity prior to shutdown was 10 uCi/cc s and an iodine spike of 50 would be expected upon shutdown (Damage Class 1 A), the iodine spiking would (Q ngl be used to adjust the RCS activity for the graph. The 10 uCi/cc line would still be used to determine the leak rate.
. For RCS activities above 10 uCi/cc up to Damage Class 2 the isotopic mix is assumed to be the same as a Damage Class 2. The total RCS activity specified for each diagonalline was multiplied by the normal: ed Damage Class 2 isotopic distribution to develop an isotopic distribution for that activity. This is meant to represent the RCS isotopic mix that could occur as gap activity enters the RCS during the accident.
. Graphs were generated for each range monitor for times of 0,4, and 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> post shutdown to account for isotopic distribution changes resulting from radiological decay.

TMI Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) 10 EXHIBIT 1 Page 154 of 163 The graphs assume there are no direct to atmosphere releases (main steam relief valve, atmospheric dump valve, or EF-P-1) occurring. If such a release is o: curring, the estimation of PSLR using condenser off gas rnonitor is more complex since all of the activity released into the secondary side does not reach the condenser. To correct for this icss of activity, the following equation can used.
PSLR, = (PSLRm)/(1 - F. - F. F.)
Where: ,
1 PSLR i = Total primary-to-secondary leakage (gpm)
PSLR m =
Primary-to-secondary leakage estimated from the graph (gpm)
F. = Estimated fraction of main steam flow estimated to be leaving through a main steam safety (dimensionless)
Fe =
Estimated fraction of main steam flow estimated to be leaving through EF-P-1 A (dimensionless)
(O
\
Fe -= Estimated fraction of main steam flow estimated to be leaving through the atmospheric dump valves (dimensionless)
The user of these graphs must be aware that the PSLR results they produce are only as accurate as the estimate of RCS activities. The uncertainty in the PSLR derived should be essentially the same as the uncertainty of the RCS activity estimate. The graphs for 0,4, and 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> post shutdown are attached in the tollowing pages.
