1.0 PERSONNEL RESPONSIBILITY The Health Physics Support Group Leader shall implement this procedure.

In the absence of a Health Physics Support Group ~eader, the Site Emergency Director shall delegate this responsibility.

2.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides a gamma i= (average gamma energy per disintegration) for input into offsite dose calculations. _

.* This procedure provides a manual backup to the gamma i= calculation performed in the automated dose assessment program, "Offsite."

4.0 TITLE

GAMMA E DETERMINATION INITIAL CONDITIONS AND/OR REQUIREMENTS

a.

• This procedure shall be. implemented as required per El-6.0, "Offsite Dose Calculation and Recommendations for Protective Actions."

b. Data and results from this procedure should be recorded on the Gamma E Determination Worksheet, Attachment 2.

c. E is dependent on the source of the radionuclide release, the type of accident/release and the time of decay (or time after reactor shutdown). Those parameters should be known prior to performing this procedure. In the event these parameters cannot be e:

determined, the default value for of 0. 7 MeV should be used.

e1 5.o PROCEDURE

5. 1 E DETERMINATION USER ALERT INFORMATION USE PROCEDURE The activities covered by this procedure may be performed from memory.

a. Determine the source of the release.

NOTE: Time of shutdown can be obtained from the TSC Operations Support Group.

b. Determine the decay time in hours and record on worksheet, Attachment 2.

NOTE: Fuel failure may be determined using Emergency Implementing Procedure El-11, "Determination of Extent of Core Damage."

c. Determine E from the appropriate section below:

1. Release With Fuel Melt or Fuel Failure - Using the time after reactor shutdown as the decay time prior to release, determine E using Attachment 1. *

-* 2.

TITLE: GAMMA E DETERMINATION Mainsteam and Offgas !Air Ejector) Releases INo Fuel Melt or Failure) - If the release is coming from a primary to secondary leak and fuel failure or fuel melt is involved, determine E from Attachment 1 and use the time after shutdown as decay time prior to release. For all other cases, use an E of 0.134 MeV.

3. Release With No Fuel Melt or Failure Surge Tank. Volume Control Tank. and Oegasifier Releases - Use E that corresponds to the six-hour time in Attachment 1 (0.1809 MeV). This corresponds to a release from the Primary Coolant System (excluding mainsteam releases) without fuel damage. This value may be used for any release that involves fresh primary coolant.

4. Waste Gas Oecay Tank INo Fuel Melt or Failure) - If the decay time for activity in a Waste Gas Decay Ta.nk is known,

• then E should be determined using Attachment 1 and

• six hours as the starting point for the decay time determination.

For example, if the tank contains activity that has decayed for two days, then the decay time is 48 + 6 = 54 hours6.25e-4 days <br />0.015 hours <br />8.928571e-5 weeks <br />2.0547e-5 months <br />.

5. Fuel Handling. Sipping. and Cask Prop Releases - If the release is coming from a fresh spent fuel bundle (directly out of the reactor core and less than 30 days old), then determine E using time after reactor shutdown and Attachment 1. If the release is coming from an old fuel bundle, then use an E of 0.035 MeV.

d. Mark release type and record E on worksheet.
