This checklist need not be completed by the On-Shift RAC prior to turnover per Step 1.11.

NOTE The bold underlined steps below are particularly important in the early stages of an emergency. They should be performed promptly and in an orderly manner.

1.1 Energize the RAC Computer 1.2 Start a log of activities performed.

1.3 Call out additional resources if they are needed. If no additional resources are needed at this time, skip the step but reconsider it later as needs change.

1.3.1 For the duty roster RAC, determine from the Emergency Director (ED) if the duty roster has been called out. If not, get the RAC's phone number from the ED and call him/her.

1.3.2 For call-out of additional R.C. Techs, obtain (or have someone obtain) phone numbers from the Rad Con Field Ops phone list and call (or have someone call) the needed techs.

1.4 Determine release pathway. Consult with the ED or his/her designee to determine the pathway of any radioactive releases from the plant.

NOTE Refer to the Emergency Dose Assessment User's Manual section of the EDCM located in the RAC locker for guidance in performing dose projections.

Number I-TMI - Unit 1 Emergency Procedure EPIP-TMI-.07 Title Revision No Activation of the RAC 12 EXHIBIT I Page 2 of 5 1.5 Obtain and validate the initial dose projection within 15 minutes.

NOTE Dose projections should be performed even in cases involving a declared emergency of a non-radiological nature.

1.5.1 Select the RAC Spreadsheet icon from the desktop of the RAC Computer.

1.5.2 Go to the release pathway specified by the ED.

1.5 2.1 Select the Update Plant Data option to import PPM and Met Data 1.5 2.2 If the pathway is being monitored by an RMS monitor, use the RMS option for that pathway.

1.5 2.3 If the pathway is not being monitored by an RMS monitor, use the leak rate option for that pathway.

1.5 2.4 Verify that the PPM and Met Data is current (15 minutes old or less). If not, all data will need to be input manually.

1.5.2.5 Enter data not available from the PPM as specified by the input sheet.

1.5.2.6 Edit any PPM or Met Data that is not believed to be accurate.

1.5 2.7 Print dose projection 1.5.3 Validate the dose projection by performing the following checks:

0 Verify that the correct release pathway is being used.

0 Verify that the monitor input data is accurate and appropriate (e.g no calibrations in progress) 0 Verify the release duration with the ED.

• Verify that the dose projection results are consistent with other indications.

1.5.4 Save the dose projection to the LAN.

1.5.5 Use the Total Dose Option to verify no other pathways are contributing to the offsite dose.

1.5.6 If power is lost to the RAC computer, request assistance from Operations in obtaining power. An extension cord is available in the RAC locker.

1.6 Review the dose proiection with the ED. Ensure the ED understands the nature of the dose projection (e.g. bounding calculation, contingency projection, "what-if', etc ) and the precision or uncertainty associated with the dose projection.

1.7 Review the Emergency Classification with the ED as it relates to current radiological parameters and evaluate the need to escalate to a higher classification 6

Number TMI - Unit 1 Emergency Procedure EPIP-TMI-.07 iT~tle Revision No.

Activation of the RAC 12 EXHIBIT I Page 3 of 5 1.8 Advise the ED on any of the following issues if they apply. Skip any that do not apply but reconsider them as the emergency conditions change.

• Protective Action Recommendations (PAR) (see the PAR logic diagram in procedure EPIP-TMI-.02, Emergency Direction, available from the ED).

• On-site assembly and site evacuation of non-essential personnel (see the table at the end of this exhibit for guidance).

NOTE The automated Emergency Report Form that is produced by ED automatically suggests assembly location and evacuation routes contained on the table in this exhibit.

• Contaminated and/or injured employees and any decontamination efforts.

1.9 Consider dispatching a field monitorinq team ifthe dose projection indicates the potential for abnormal radiological conditions off-site.

1.9.1 To activate field teams:

• Perform radio checks with the field team(s)

• Assign and record field team designations (e.g. Alpha, Bravo, etc)

• Obtain and record names and SSN's for all field team members.

• Obtain and record year-to-date TEDE for all field team members.

• Inform team members of the current wind direction and speed and display it on the EPZ map.

1.9.2 Field monitoring team placement and direction: consider the following guidelines for placing and directing field team(s).

A. For ground level releases (highest doses projected at site boundary)

• Place the first field team downwind at the site boundary.

• Place the second team (if dispatched) off-site, downwind and as near to the site as possible 7

Number T-, TMI- Unit 1 Emergency Procedure EPIP-TMI-.07 Title Revision No Activation of the RAC 12 EXHIBIT 1 Page 4 of 5 B For elevated releases (highest doses projected at some distance from the site)

Place the first field team downwind at the location where the highest dose is projected.

Place the second team (if dispatched) downwind nearer to the site than the first team (results from this team aid in determining if the plume touched down closer than projected)

C. Instruct the team(s) to scan across the plume and attempt to locate plume centerline.

Provide a definite start point, direction of travel and an end point for scanning (e.g. "scan for plume centerline starting at NNE31, travel toward the Southeast passing through NE31 and continue to ENE31").

1.10 BRP call back: Within 45 minutes of event declaration notify the ECC Communications Coordinator whether the BRP has called back to the RAC.

1.11 Provide a turnover to the IREO RAC upon arrival.

Number TMI - Unit 1 Emergency Procedure EPIP-TMI-.07 Title Revision No Activation of the RAC 12 EXHIBIT 2 Page 1 of 5 IREO Duty Roster RAC Checklist 1.0 The IREO RAC should perform the following upon reporting to the Emergency Control Center:

1.1 Obtain a turnover from the On-Shift RAC if staffed. If the on-shift RAC position was not staffed skip to Step 1.2.

1.2 Review Exhibit I and ensure applicable steps have been implemented.

NOTE The following steps should be considered and, if needed, implemented.

These steps need not be performed in the sequence listed and may be performed multiple times. The RAC should periodically review this checklist to ensure that necessary steps are being performed.

A Assign personnel to staff positions described in Exhibits 3 through 5.

B. Maintain a log of activities performed.

C. Refer to the Emer. Dose Assessment User's Manual contained in the EDCM (Ref. 6 3) for dose assessment guidance.

D. Review dose projections with the ED.

0 Ensure the ED understands the nature of the dose projection (e.g. bounding calculation, contingency projection, "what-if', etc.) and the precision or uncertainty associated with the dose projection.

E. Advise the ED on:

0 Protective Action Recommendations (PAR) (see the PAR logic diagram in procedure EPIP-TMI-.02, Emergency Direction, available from the ED) 0 On-site assembly and site evacuation of non-essential personnel (see the table at the end of this exhibit for guidance).

0 Radiological conditions:

- In-plant (including habitability concerns in emergency facilities),

- On-site and Off-site 10

Number TMI - Unit 1 Emergency Procedure EPIP-TMI-.07 Title Revision No Activation of the RAC 12 EXHIBIT 2 Page 2 of 5 NOTE Consideration should be given to locations on-site where personnel may remain. Examples are:

- Security Posts

- Warehouses

- Communications

- Medical Employee doses and emergency dose extensions.

0 Contaminated employees, decontamination efforts and any use of Thyroid Blocking agent.

F. Emergency classifications: Recommend emergency classifications to the ED based on radiological conditions and Emergency Action Levels (EAL).

G. Fuel damage assessment: Provide any necessary assistance to the TSC for the assessment of fuel damage and report results to the ED.

NOTE While the RAC should provide assistance to the TSC in assessing the degree of core damage, the 'official' damage assessment values will be determined by the TSC.

H. Primary to secondary leak rate determination: If a primary to secondary leak exists, use the Emer. Dose Assessment User's Manual contained in the EDCM (Ref. 6 3) to assist in determining primary to secondary leak rate. Coordinate with the TSC in making this determination.

NOTE While the RAC should provide assistance to the TSC in estimating the primary to secondary leak rate, the 'official' leak rate values will be determined by the TSC.

When the EACC is staffed turn over field monitoring teams to the EACC.

J Dose projection/field readings comparison: use the following guidance for comparing field readings (field team or Reuter Stokes readings) and dose projections.

If field readings are within a factor of 10 less than (and no._t more than) the corresponding projected value, a very good correlation exist between the two.

Field iodine sample results, after being converted to thyroid dose rate (CDE per hour), can be directly compared to projected thyroid dose rate.

11

Number TMI - Unit 1 Emergency Procedure EPIP-TMI-.07 Title Revision No.

Activation of the RAC 12 EXHIBIT 2 Page 3 of 5 Field team closed window dose rates and Reuter Stokes readings can be compared with DDE values in dose projections.

There is no dose projection value that corresponds directly to field team open window readings. Open window readings that are higher than closed window readings indicate that the plume is at ground level at that location.

K. Samples: Consider the need for special samples (e.g. MAP-5, CATPASS, RCS-PAS) to provide more precise source term data for dose projections.

Samples taken directly from the effluent pathway (e g. condenser off-gas, MAP-5, etc) provide the most precise source term data.

A sample from the Reactor Building atmosphere (i.e. CATPASS) will improve the precision of source term data for releases from the Reactor Building but will likely be less precise than effluent samples.

RCS sample results are useful in determining the extent of fuel damage and can be used to improve the precision of the source term but to less an extent than effluent samples.

K>NOTE The Emer. Dose Assessment User's Manual contained in the EDCM (Ref. 6.3) provides guidance on which sample(s) to obtain under various conditions.

L. Communication with BRP: Establish communication with the Bureau of Radiological Protection (BRP) and provide TMI dose projections to them.

M. Communication with NRC: If the NRC requests continuous communication on the Health Physics Network (HPN), establish and maintain communication on the HPN with them and:

Assign an extra RAC staff member as soon as one is available or, Request an additional communicator from the ED Assistant.

N. Coordinate all Radiological Controls activities on-site, including:

Access control to areas affected by the emergency.

Personnel dose monitoring and control (including dose extensions).

In-plant surveys and samples 12

Number TMI - Unit 1 Emergency Procedure EPIP-TMI-.07 Title Revision No Activation of the RAC 12 EXHIBIT 2 Page 4 of 5

0. Thyroid Blocking: Implement the Thyroid Blocking procedure (EPIP-COM-.44) if it is anticipated that person(s) will be exposed to quantities of radioiodine sufficient to cause a thyroid dose of 25 REM (CDE) or greater.

P. Interface with the Group Leader- Radiological and Environmental Controls (GL-R&EC) regarding:

• Dose projections

• In-plant and on-site conditions Protective actions Q. Recommend source term reduction techniques appropriate to the release pathway (e.g. RB spray, raising OTSG levels, etc). See the Emergency Dose Assessment User's Manual in Ref 6.3 for specific information R Evaluate the need for eating and drinking restrictions in-plant.

If results of habitability monitoring allow, recommend that the E.D. lift restrictions, as needed.

• Ensure habitability monitoring continues.

S. Review radiological information in press releases. Specific examples of radiological information that should not be included in press releases are:

0 Dose projections 0 Protective action recommendations 0 Technical terms 0 Acronyms and abbreviations T. Trend effluent release data, RMS, sample results, field team readings and dose projections.

U. Establish a watch bill to cover the RAC and all staff positions on a 24 hour-per-day basis.
