EP-542 Revision 7 Page 2 1.0 PURPOSE To prescribe the method by which dose assessment personnel use a computer-based program to calculate offsite Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and thyroid dose and dose rates resulting from an unplanned/abnormal airborne release.

2.0 USE REFERENCES 2.1 EP-101, Classification of Emergencies 2.2 EP-546, Calculation of Estimated Containment High Range Radiation Monitor or SGTS/AXM Monitor Readings if Instruments are Inoperable or Offscale 2.3 EP-547, Rapid Estimate of Core/Fuel Damage Based on Containment High Range Radiation Monitor 2.4 23.615, Integrated Plant Computer System (IPCS) 3.0 ENTRY CONDITIONS 3.1 Potential exists for an abnormal/unplanned release to the environment or 3.2 Actual abnormal/unplanned release has occurred or is occurring through one of the plant effluent release pathways.

4.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 4.1 The Raddose-V dose assessment program interfaces with the Integrated Plant Computer System (IPCS) to obtain meteorological and radiation monitor data for calculating offsite dose and dose rates. The program's Automatic Mode serves as the primary method for performing dose calculations. The Manual Mode serves as an alternate/backup for performing dose assessment.

4.2 Airborne fission product radioactivity released in the plant is normally transported by the plant ventilation systems (e.g., SGTS, RB HVAC, etc.) to the environment and quantified by effluent radiation monitors. Due to accident/plant conditions, Radiation Protection personnel must consider and have surveys performed for the possibility of unmonitored releases.

EP-542 Revision 7 Page 3 4.3 Raddose-V features a "Control" User Mode associated with operating in the Automatic Mode. The user must select "Control" to operate in the Automatic Mode. The Automatic Mode is the only mode that retrieves IPCS data (i.e., Met and SPING/AXM data) automatically, prints dose reports every 15 minutes, and writes data files to the Integrated Plant Computer System (IPCS) as well as to the local PC terminal.

4.4 The Dose Assessor, responsible for dose assessment, must operate in the "Control" User Mode even if IPCS data is unavailable. Raddose-V in the "Control" User Mode indicates Fermi Summary Reports as the "Record Copy" and identifies the "Control" terminal.

4.5 Initiating Raddose-V in the "Independent" User Mode will automatically force Raddose-V to operate in the Manual Mode. This mode is used for any miscellaneous dose calculations and indicates Fermi Summary Reports as "For Information Use Only."

4.6 Raddose-V can be operated in the Manual Mode even if IPCS data is available to allow the user to run back-up (peer check) calculations or choose other methods (e.g., back calculate using field data) to calculate offsite dose/dose rates. If IPCS data is unavailable, the Dose Assessor must operate in the Manual operating mode and all Raddose-V inputs are entered manually.

4.7 Raddose-V defaults to a four-hour projection duration. This duration is consistent with the evacuation time estimate (for our 10-mile EPZ). The user can change the default projection duration if other projected dose durations are deemed necessary.

4.8 Raddose-V has seven Accident Types to choose from.

NOTE: Accident Type selection is determined by identifying the location(s) of the airborne fission product activity (source term) and the release pathway.

LOCAC/LOCACP (LOCA/fission products in containment; pathway via SGTS):

LOCACP is the potential projection model LOCAX (LOCA/fission products outside containment; pathway via SGTS)

FHA (Fuel Handling Accident; pathway via SGTS)

RXBLG (fission products in the Reactor Building; pathway via RB HVAC)

TRBLG (fission products in the Turbine Building; pathway via TB HVAC)

RWBLG (fission products in the Radwaste Building; pathway via RW HVAC)

PCV (fission products in containment; pathway via SGTS Torus hardened pipe)

EP-542 Revision 7 Page 4 4.9 Source Type selection involves selecting one of three default Source Types or inputting an air sample isotopic analysis. The three default Source Types are:

Coolant (use during LOCAs or release of fission products with no fuel damage)

  • Gap (fuel/clad damage event; assumes 10% noble gases, 2% iodines)
  • Core (fuel/core melt event; assumes 100% noble gases, 2% iodines) 4.9.1 Raddose-V and CHRRMs readings can be used to select default Source Types.

"Override Monitor Readings" can be used from the NG Basis option (under "Potential Projection") to obtain the 100% (worst case) Source Type value for CHRRMs (Refer to Enclosure F).

4.9.2 EP-547, "Rapid Estimate of Core/Fuel Damage Based on Containment High Range Radiation Monitor," (Enclosures A and B) can be used to determine a 100% "Gap" or "Core Melt" CHRRM reading to assist in Source Type selection.

4.9.3 An air sample isotopic analysis (e.g., PASS atmospheric sample) can be used as the Source Type. The user enters sample results on a nuclide entry screen. This option is only available in the Manual operating mode (Refer to Enclosure G).

4.10 If using "Back Calculation Using Field Dose Rates" as the method of dose assessment, a minimum of one calculated time step using valid met and effluent monitor readings is required to reflect a release. This option is only available in the Manual operating mode (Refer to Enclosure D).

4.11 If an effluent sample isotopic analysis is to be used as the method of dose assessment, choose "Effluent Sample Analysis" under the NG Basis options. This option is only available in the Manual operating mode (Refer to Enclosure E).

5.0 IMMEDIATE ACTIONS NOTE: Enclosure A, Dose Assessment Initiation Flowchart, provides guidance on plant conditions requiring initiation of dose assessment.

5.1 Initiate the Automatic Mode of the Raddose-V dose assessment program in accordance with Enclosure B.

5.2 If IPCS data is not available or another method of dose assessment is preferred, initiate the Manual Mode of Raddose-V in accordance with Enclosure C.

EP-542 Revision 7 Page 5 6.0 PROCEDURE - None 7.0 FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS 7.1 Continue to calculate TEDE and Adult Thyroid dose and dose rates until directed to terminate dose assessment.

8.0 RECORDS 8.1 All documentation generated as part of performing dose assessment should be reviewed by the Radiation Protection Advisor/Radiation Protection Coordinator then forwarded to the Supervisor, RERP, for retention.

EP-542 Enclosure D, Page 1 of 1 040604 BACK CALCULATION USING FIELD DOSE RATES The Back Calculation Using Field Dose Rates option can be used whenever a confirmed release is in progress and offsite field dose rates (from Offsite RETs) become available. This method may serve as a good comparison to normal dose assessment calculation using in-plant radiation monitors. This method should be used whenever an unmonitored release has been confirmed and/or in-plant monitor readings are suspect or become unreliable.

NOTE: This option requires that plume data be calculated before performing a "back" calculation. Prior to using this option, valid inputs for both met and effluent radiation monitor data is required and prior time steps must be calculated (i.e., "Perform Calculations" from the Main Menu options).

To perform dose assessment using the Back Calculate option, perform the following:

1. If valid effluent radiation monitor data is not available for initial time steps, implement EP-546, "Calculation of Estimated Containment High Range Radiation Monitor or SGTS/AXM Monitor Readings if Instruments are Inoperable or Offscale."
2. Select Back Calculate from the "NG Basis" drop down menu.
3. Enter on the Back Calculation of Release Rate pop-up screen the following:
a. The 3 foot gamma (closed window) dose rate
b. The "Emergency Survey Point Identifier" if applicable or keep as "none." If a survey point is selected, the distance and bearing will be filled in; therefore, GO TO step 4.
c. Distance (in miles) the dose rate was measured NOTE: The "bearing" is the physical location of the measurement with 0/360 degrees being north of the plant. Example of a bearing of 270 degrees would be west of the plant in sector N.
d. Bearing (in degrees) the dose rate was measured
4. Once all data is entered and self-checked, click OK.
5. Return to Enclosure C, step 18 to continue Manual Mode operations.

EP-542 Enclosure E, Page 1 of 1 051303 EFFLUENT SAMPLE ANALYSIS The Effluent Sample Analysis option can be used whenever a confirmed release is in progress and an actual effluent sample is obtained and analyzed for isotopic composition.

Effluent sample analyses represent an actual mix of isotopes being released. This option also serves as a correction for limitations relating to effluent radiation monitors. Effluent samples can be obtained from normal release pathways (i.e. HVAC systems) via SPING samples. During severe accident conditions, AXM samples may be obtained and analyzed. Effluent isotopic data will then be used to calculate the release rates in-lieu of effluent radiation monitor readings.

Effluent sample analysis currently entered into Raddose-V can be carried forward into future time steps. Once entered in the NG Basis, the program continues to use this data and decay correct the isotopes until another NG Basis is selected.

To perform dose assessment using the Effluent Sample Analysis option, perform the following:

1. Select Effluent Sample Analysis from the "NG Basis" drop down menu.
2. Enter Effluent concentrations (in uCi/cc).
a. Once concentrations are entered and self-checked, click OK.
3. Return to Enclosure C, step 18 to continue Manual Mode operations.

EP-542 Enclosure F, Page 1 of 1 051303 OVERRIDE MONITOR READINGS The Override Monitor Reading option provides a method to calculate Design Base Accident (DBA) or worst case release rates. This method also calculates a 100% source term monitor reading taking time after reactor shut down into account. This option can be used to assist in Source Type selection by comparing the actual current CHRRM reading to the "Override" calculated CHRRM reading. Based on this, the LOCAC Accident Type is the only Accident Type applicable due to the only Accident Type utilizing CHRRMs.

To select a Source Type using the Override Monitor Reading option, perform the following:

1. Ensure the LOCAC Accident type is selected.
2. Select the "Coolant" Source Type or "Gap" Source Type if fuel damage has occurred.
3. Under "Potential Projection," select Override Monitor Reading from the "NG Basis" drop down menu.
4. Verify calculated Release Rates (i.e. NG, Iodine, and Particulate) are filled in (on the "Source Term Data Input" screen).
5. Once release rates are entered and self-checked, click OK.
6. Click on "Perform Calculations."
7. Click on "Go to Report Menu."
8. Click on "View Summary Report."
9. Under the "Potential Projection" report, obtain the "Override CHRRM Monitor Reading.
10. If the actual current CHRRM monitor reading is higher than the "Override Monitor" reading, advance to the next higher Source Type. For example, if the current CHRRM reading is 45,000 R/hr and the "Override Monitor" CHRRM reading is 40,000 R/hr (for a Gap Source Type), then advance to the Core Melt Source Type.
11. If the actual current CHRRM monitor reading is not higher than the "Override Monitor" reading, continue with the currently selected Source Type.
12. Continue to monitor CHRRM readings. If CHRRM readings are elevating, this may prompt a Source Type change.

EP-542 Enclosure G, Page I of 1 051303 SOURCE AIR SAMPLE ANALYSIS The Source Air Sample (SRC SAMP) option can be used whenever airborne fission products are present in the plant and an actual effluent air sample is obtained and analyzed for isotopic composition.

These air samples represent an actual mix of isotopes being present, therefore, can be used to calculate release rates in-lieu of default Source Types (i.e. Coolant, Gap, and Core Melt). Source air samples are directly related to the building in which they are obtained. For example, the source air sample for the LOCAC Accident Type is a Primary Containment (PASS) atmosphere sample. Each Accident Type (except Fuel Handling Accident) has a corresponding source air sample based on the building it represents. The air sample analysis screen requires a Sample Time (defaults to previous time step). The user must enter the date/time the sample was taken.

This enables Raddose-V to decay corrects the isotopes.

To perform dose assessment using the SRC SAMP option, perform the following:

1. Select SRC SAMP from the Source Type drop down menu.
2. Enter airborne isotopic concentrations (in uCi/cc).
3. Enter date and time when sample was obtained.

NOTE: Raddose-V generates a pop-up message box asking the user if the isotopic mix will be used in subsequent time steps. If yes, the isotopic mix is carried forward and decay corrected. If no, the user will need to select new source term data inputs on the next time step.

a. Once concentrations and sample date and time are entered and self-checked, click OK.
4. Return to Enclosure C, step 18 to continue Manual Mode operations.
