Title:
Emergency Dose Projection System Operations Page: 4 of 34 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides instructions for the use of the computerized dose projection system Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) to predict offsite dose rates, integrated doses and radioactive material deposition for locations within the 10-mile Plume Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) and the 50-mile Ingestion EPZ. Actual manipulation of system display terminals is described in document MAN-URl-01 referred to as the URI User's Manual. {R-5.1.1}
The dose projection system is used for estimating the whole body (TEDE) and thyroid (COE) doses of onsite and offsite persons in the event of potential or actual accidental release of radioactivity to the environment. The dose projection system used at Columbia consists of a computer software program that relies on precalculated, real time, site-specific relationships between effluent monitor readings (or sample results) and on-site and offsite dose rates.
The dose projection system is available in the Control Room, Technical Support Center (TSC),
Emergency Operations Center (EOF), and Alternate EOF. Having the dose projection system software loaded on multiple, stand-alone computers located in the various emergency centers maximizes dose projection capability. Field Team data may be used to calculate dose projections or validate previous projections.
The software program supports a rapid version of dose projection using limited pathways for a rapid evaluation of the release out to 10 miles. The software also supports a detailed dose projection based on more detailed pathways with dose projections from the site boundary out to 10 or 50 miles.
- State and county organizations will have access to this system in the EOF or by transmission
- of output information to their emergency centers.
2.0 DEFINITIONS 2.1 COE Thyroid - Committed Dose Equivalent to the thyroid.
2.2 Delta T (~ T) - The temperature difference between two sensors located at different elevations on a meteorological tower. ("Highest elevation" - "Lowest elevation" = ~ T) 2.3 Effective Dose Equivalent (EDE) - the external gamma dose that is normally monitored by emergency workers through their self-reading dosimeters 2.4 EDE to TEDE Ratio (EDE/TEDE) - Ratios computed by URI that are used for determining the Emergency Worker Dose Adjustment Factor. The EDE is the external gamma dose that is normally monitored by emergency workers through their self-reading dosimeters (electronic dosimeters or pocket ion chambers); and TEDE is the total dose from both EDE and the internal dose from inhaled iodines and particulates. **
2.5 Elevated Release - An effluent release point model that assumes that the release point is from a discreet true elevated (tall) stack.
2.6 Emergency Worker Dose Adjustment Factor (EWDAF) - An adjustment factor determined from the EDE/TEDE Ratio that is used by offsite emergency workers to monitor their TEDE whole body dose based on their EDE doses as measured on their self-reading dosimeters.
The adjustment factor is the inverse of the EDE/TEDE Ratio reported by URI, Number: 13.8.1 I Use Category: REFERENCE Major Rev: 041 Minor Rev: NIA

- 2.7 Radioactive Release - A radioactive release is in progress when:
Effluent monitors indicate an increase in radiation levels from normal readings for plant operating conditions, OR Field teams detect environmental radiation 10 times Greater Than (GT) normal background.
AND The increased levels are attributable to the emergency event.
2.8 Radioactive Release Termination - A radioactive release is terminated when the following criteria have been met:
- 1. The source of the release has been isolated.
- 2. The effluent monitors are trending downward (if available).
3.. Environmental Field Team surveys indicate a decrease in radiation levels or airborne radioactivity.
2.9 RASCAL-NRC supported and distributed computer software for determining source term, atmospheric dispersion, and dose consequences.
2.10 Reactor Core Accident - This indicates core damage Greater Than or Equal To {GE) 0.1 %
as identified by process rad monitors (PRM, TEA and/or WEA) listed in PPM 13.1.1 Table 3 Effluent Monitor reading is Greater Than or Equal to Alert value.
- 2.11 Site Boundary (SB)- Closest distance between owner-controlled area boundary and core, set at 1.2 miles.
2.12 Source Term - The quantity and radionuclide makeup of the material in the release. The source term used in URI is based on NUREG-1228.
2.13 Stability Class - Values from A to G representing ranges of Delta T (AT) which in turn represent atmospheric mixing estimations. The NRC definitions of these ranges are used to define the stability classes used in URI. ("A" is extremely unstable, "G" is extremely stable).
2.14 Stack Door Monitor (SDM) - A portable radiation survey meter (e.g., Teletector) or radiation monitoring instrument (e.g., AMP-100) used for monitoring radiation levels at the exterior and center of the Elevated Release Stack Access Door {R-DOOR-R515). This provides an alternate means for monitoring Reactor Building post-accident effluent releases when the installed Process Radiation Monitor (PRM) Stack Monitor is inoperable or unavailable.
SDM readings (in mR/hr) are available from HP or, when set up for remote monitoring, through eDNA Real-Time Client or eDNA Trend from eDNA Point IDs EP99M (mid-range SDM) and EP99H (high-range SDM) in the ENW.WRM Service.
2.15 TEDE-Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE)-The sum of the Deep Dose Equivalent (DDE) and the Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE).
2.16 Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) - Computer software which replaces the NRC issued RASCAL user interface for user input of dose assessment parameters and interpretation of results that interfaces to the RASCAL meteorological and dose processor modules.

Title:
Emergency Dose Projection System Operations Page: 13 of 34 Minor Rev: N/A 2.0 Rapid URI
NOTE: Use of Rapid URI requires that the release pathway matches one of the limited options in the Rapid URI software.
Rapid URI is not usable for Rad Waste Building or Unmonitored release.
Rapid URI is not usable if release path is through SGT _and SGT is "Not Working".
From ARP 4.811.K2 4-3 Continued operation of the SGT system with a high relative humidity (as indicated on SGT-Ml-4A / 48) can result in a decrease in charcoal filter efficiency due to increased charcoal moisture content, this decrease in efficiency occurs at 70% relative humidity. Decreased filter efficiency is required to be accounted for in the Off-Site Dose Calculations. This is accomplished by selecting "Not Working" for SGT.
2.1 Activate Rapid URI by.
- If not a real event, then SELECT "This is a drill".
- SELECT the "Rapid" option (Lightning Bolt icon) on the URI main screen.
The Rapid Assessment page is now available for data input.
2.1.1 Source Term Grouping (This grouping provides input on what type of damage to the fuel has occurred)
- a. SELECT Qn! of the following
- IF the release is from the Reactor and Fuel Clad Damage is suspected, (PPM 13.1.1 Table 3 Effluent Monitor reading Greater Than or Equal to the Alert value, or Field Team data shows a release in progress),
THEN SELECT "Yes" for Fuel Clad Damage. This causes the assessment to include isotopic mix and inventory for fuel clad damage.
- IF the release is from the Reactor and Fuel Clad Damage is NOT suspected, (No PPM 13.1.1 Table 3 Effluent Monitor reading is Greater Than or Equal to Alert value or Field Team data shows a release is not in progress),
THEN SELECT "No" for Fuel Clad Damage. This causes selection of normal coolant concentrations as the basis of the source term. This also activates the question, "Have the Conditions for Coolant Spiking been met?"
Then Select "Yes" or "No" if Reactor Building process radiation monitors spiked following a plant transient.
- IF the release is from the Spent Fuel Pool, THEN SELECT "Damaged Spent Fuel Assembly" Attachment 7.1, URI User Guidance Number: 13.8.1 I Use Category: REFERENCE Major Rev: 041

NOTE: Building Hold"Up Time (HUT) causes the Process Reduction Factor to account for the plate out of iodines and particulates on building surfaces due to physical and chemical surface action. HUT is dependent upon the building or location. It indicates how long the release remains within the specific building for both decay and for residual radiation leaving the building once the leak is isolated. For the containment, HUT is dependent upon leak rate. Inputs based on the status of the OW, WW or Reactor Bldg have an impact on the dose projection outcome. The HUT is selectable in the URI program based on the status of the building or location. Careful consideration should be taken before changing HUT for OW, WW, Turbine Bldg and Rad Waste Bldg.
- a. To view the list of available pathways, click on the small yellow box to the right of the "Pathway" box. This action will take you to the Pathways screen.

NOTE:
- When the low range detector purges and transfers to the medium range detector the low range will show downscale. The alarms on H13-P602 will clear during the purge process and then come back in after the purge is complete; this takes about three minutes.
The medium range and composite will remain reading at all times (power allowing).
- eDNA will turn red on the Composite and remain red at the Alert alarm value; the Alert alarm is NOT an ALERT EAL but is a warning you are approaching a UE EAL.
GOS Overview has the stack composite value at the bottom of the screen.
- The E 1 Containment and eDNA Containment Status reads the Composite for all PRMs.
- If the sample rack loses power for GT 4 seconds, the Sample Rack (and pumps) will go through an auto-reboot process where no data is available to the MCR for ~ 2 to 3 minutes after power is regained; expect this if regaining SM-8 power from DG2.
A portable radiation survey meter or an installed radiation monitoring instrument measuring radiation levels at the exterior center of the Elevated Release Stack Access Door (R-DOOR-R515) provides an alternate means of monitoring radioactive effluent releases through the Reactor Building Stack when the installed post-accident effluent monitor PRM Stack Monitor is unavailable.
The radiation level readings (in mR/hr) from this Stack Door Monitor (SOM) can be input into the
- Monitor Reading field in URI to perform a dose projection. The technical basis for this SOM to PRM equivalency can be found in Engineering Calculation NE-02-09-12. The use of the table may be used for Table 3 equivalency if needed i.e., URI is not available.
Note: for the UE value, background at 100% power is ~4.1 mr/hr.
Data from eDNA Points EP99M (mid-range SOM, 5 mR/hr to 1 E6 mR/hr) and EP99H (high-range SOM, 1000 mR/hr to 1 E7 mR/hr) is updated approximately every minute and is displayed in mR/hr.
Always round to the nearest whole number (e.g., 23.645 mR/hr should be rounded to 24 mR/hr).

Compensatory Noble Gas Monitor (CNGM) sample cart(s) will be available to measure radiation levels as a compensatory measure when the normal sample racks forTEA-RIS-13 and/orWEA-RIS-14 are unavailable. There is one cart for TEA, and a one cart for WEA readings. While the equations below apply directly to the readings from either cart, it is critical to ensure that the WEA cart readings are only used for WEA dose assessments and TEA readings be used for TEA dose assessments.
IF both WEA and TEA are non-functional, THEN both carts will be in operation and dose assessments must be derived from the respective cart.
The technical basis for this compensatory measure equivalency can be found in RSCS TSD-13-035 (CVI 1057-00, 131). The conversion equations below are used for calculating equivalent inputs for URI.
Data from the CNGM will be available to the Main Control Room for monitoring a release during this compensatory measure. There is a slide at the frisker which is inserted for normal readings Less Than or Equal to (LE) 400,000 cpm and withdrawn for readings Greater Than (GT) 400,000 cpm.
- 2) IF frisker reading is GT 400,000 cpm, THEN direct Chemistry to withdraw the CNGM slide.
- 3) IF calculating TEA values to input into URI,
- THEN use the following conversion factors, otherwise N/A this step:
- IF TEA frisker reading is LE 400,000 cpm, (slide inserted) (Low Range Input)
THEN TEA URI INPUT (µCi/cc)= [Frisker output (cpm)] / 1.01E7 cpm/µCi/cc Example: the frisker reading obtained from the sample cart is 80,000 cpm.
The equivalent URI input for either TEA or WEA would be:
TEA 80000 cpm divided by 1.01 E7 cpm/µCi/cc = 7.92e-3 µCi/cc Enter this value into URI for the TEA monitor.
- IF TEA frisker slide is withdrawn, THEN TEA URI INPUT (µCi/cc)= [Frisker output (cpm)] / 3.87E6 cpm/µCi/cc
- 4) IF calculating WEA values to input into URI, THEN then use the following conversion factors, otherwise N/A this step:.
- IF WEA frisker reading is LE 400,000 cpm, (slide inserted) (Low Range Input)
THEN WEA URI INPUT (µCi/cc) = [Frisker output (cpm)] / 1.01 E7 cpm/µCi/cc
- IF WEA frisker slide is withdrawn, THEN URI INPUT (µCi/cc)= [Frisker output (cpm)] / 3.98E6 cpm/µCi/cc END

- Dose Assessment Using Rapid URI
NOTE: Use of Rapid URI requires that the release pathway matches one of the limited options.
Rapid URI is not usable for Rad Waste Building or Unmonitored release.
Rapid URI is not usable if release path is through SGT and SGT is "Not Working".
From ARP 4.811.1<2 4-3, If SGT Carbon Filter inlet moisture (SGT-Ml-4A / 48) is GE 70% then SGT is "Not Working".
The following steps will provide guidance on performing a Rapid URI dose assessment with normal met tower and radiation monitors available.
- 1. START the URI software with icon (software on "C" drive if icon missing).
- 2. IF not a real event, THEN SELECT "This is a drill".
- 3. SELECT "Rapid" (LIGHTNING BOLT) icon on the URI main screen
- 4. SELECT one of the following.
- IF PPM 13.1.1 Table 3 Effluent Monitor reading is Greater Than or Equal to Alert value, THEN SELECT Fuel Clad Damage "Yes",
- IF PPM 13.1.1 Table 3 Effluent Monitor reading is Less Than the Alert value, THEN SELECT Fuel Clad Damage "No", and
- SELECT "Yes" or "No", Have the Conditions for Coolant Spiking been met?
- IF from Spent Fuel Pool, THEN SELECT Damaged Spent Fuel Assembly.
- 5. PERFORM one of the following.
- IF Fuel Clad Damage was selected, and reactor power is LE 1 %,
THEN CHECK Reactor Shutdown and INSERT the time of shutdown.
- IF Fuel Clad Damage was selected, and reactor power is GT 1 %,
THEN LEAVE Reactor Shutdown blank.
- IF Damaged Spent Fuel Assembly was selected, THEN UPDATE "Last Irradiated" to 5/5/2023.
NOTE: If SM-8 is deenergized, the MET tower will be out of service.
- 6. ENTER Meteorological data
- SELECT CGS 33ft Tower, if not available, then select FFTF #9 10m.
- ENTER Wind Speed
- ENTER Wind Direction (W/D)
