RADIATION SURVEY INSTRUMENTS: BATTERY & RESPONSE CHECKS AND OPERATION

· Prior to departure from the EOF, all radiation survey instruments should be battery and response checked. The Cesium 137 check source for response checking the instruments is located in the Field Team Source Cabinet inside a lead container. When response checking the instruments you are looking for any indication of an elevated reading.

When response checking the R0-2A (Beta/Gamma Dose Rate Meter) you may need to remove the source from the lead container and check window open in order to see a response. When finished, return the source to its container, and the container to the field team source cabinet. Lock the cabinet to maintain adequate source control, and return the key to the EOF Field Team Supply Cabinet.

1. Ludlum Model 2 Count Rate Meter

The Ludlum Model 2 Count rate meter should be used when measuring Gamma and Beta radiation to determine Beta and Gamma contamination. It is used to take readings on air sample cartridges and filters. It is also used to detect levels of contamination

The Count Rate meter can be used to differentiate between Gamma and Beta radiation by placing appropriate material (i.e., piece of cardboard/clipboard) over the probe. If uncovered readings are higher than covered readings then this is an indication of the presence of Beta radiation. If there is no difference between the readings, you are seeing only Gamma. An indication of Beta would mean you are in the plume. An indication of only Gamma would mean the plume is overhead.

a. Battery Check

1. Place Selector switch to BAT. The needle should deflect to BAT TEST portion of the scale.

• If the battery response does not deflect into the BAT TEST portion of the scale, replace the two D cell batteries and repeat the battery check.

• Place the selector switch to OFF position

• Record the calibration due date and Serial Number on the checklist.

2 .

b. Response Check

1. Attach the pancake probe (HP 260 or 44-9) to the count rate meter.

2. Set the Selector switch to X1.

3. Press the RES button to ensure that scale reading goes to zero.

4. Set the F-S switch to fast. The F-S response toggle switch dampens meter response from 3 seconds (F) to 11 seconds (S). ·

5. Set the audio toggle to ON

6. Slowly pass the probe over the surface of the source at about one centimeter. s

7. If the response check was satisfactory, check the SAT block on the checklist.

8. If the instrument fails the response check, contact the HP in the Health Physics Center for assistance. IF any radiation survey instrument fails its pre-operational checks, THEN notify the Field Team Coordinator.

Ludlum Model 19 Micro R Meter

The Ludlum Micro R meter should be used for detection of very low level gamma radiation. This instrument is used to determine plume boundaries (10 times background or approximately 100 micro R) and to determine dose rates. The Micro R meter has a range of O to 5000 Micro R/hr. When the Micro-R Meter approaches its maximum range (5000 micro R), change to the Beta/Gamma dose rate instrument, R0-2A.

NOTE: The Model 19 includes ranges of 25, 50, 250, 500 and 5000. The range positions 5000, 500 and 50 are labeled in black, the 250 and 25 are labeled in red.

Because background is approximately 10 Micro R/hr. the meter should be set to the 25 microR/hr range for initial surveys.

a. Battery Check

1. Turn power on and depress the 'BAT' button. The needle should deflect to BAT TEST portion of the scale.

• If the battery response does not deflect into the BAT TEST portion of the scale, replace the two D cell batteries and repeat the battery check.



•

•

•



3 .

b. Response Check

1. Press the RES button to ensure that scale reading goes to zero. The RES button should also be pushed when changing ranges to quickly re-zero the meter.

2. Set the Selector switch to 25.

3. Set the F-S switch to fast.

4. Set the audio toggle to ON.

5. Slowly pass the probe over the surface of the source at about one centimeter.

6. If the response check was satisfactory check the SAT block on the checklist.


Eberline Model R0-2A Meter

CAUTION The chamber face of the R0-2A is a Beta window of ultra-thin mylar and is covered by a sliding Beta shield to allow Beta/Gamma differentiation. Caution should be taken not to puncture the mylar screen when the Beta shield is open.

The Eberline Model R0-2A meter should be used once levels of radiation approach 5000 Micro R/hr detected by the Micro R meter.

The Beta window is moved by first depressing the friction release button located on the side of the instrument case. To slide the window, tilt the case either up or down while depressing the button.

Full instrument response time of the R0-2A is five seconds. This means the meter needle will move from a reading of zero to 90% of full scale in five seconds. To obtain accurate results, the instrument should be moved slowly enough to evaluate the extent of a change in meter reading.

To differentiate between Beta and Gamma radiation, a reading should first be taken with the window open and then with window closed. If there is no difference in readings you are seeing only Gamma. If there is a difference then you are seeing both Gamma and Beta. A reading with both Gamma and Beta detected would indicate that you are in the plume. An indication of only Gamma indicates that you are in the plume .


•

•

•

Number: 13.9.1 I Use Category: REFERENCE Major Rev: 045 Minor Rev: 002 Page: 12 of 26 Title: Environmental Field Monitoring Operations

When calculating Beta radiation, a correction factor must be applied to the difference between the Beta and gamma readings, and the Beta only reading (i.e., the window open and window closed readings). To determine the Beta radiation, subtract the window closed reading (gamma) from the window open reading. Multiply the Beta correction factor listed on the side of the R0-2A times the difference to determine the corrected Beta reading.

a. Battery Check (Check BAT vs BATT)(ls IF THEN required)

1. The R0-2A has two battery checks. Place the Range Selector switch in each BAT position and verify that the meter indicates above the BATT OK mark for both positions.

• If the battery response does not deflect into the BAT TEST portion of the scale for each BAT position, replace the defective meter with a functional meter from the calibration lab.


b. Response Check

1. Place the Range Selector switch in the ZERO position and adjust ZERO knob until the meter indicates ZERO (0).

2. Set the Selector Switch to the 0-50 mR/hour position.

3. With the window open, slowly pass the instrument over the source at about one centimeter. (You may need to remove the source from the lead container to obtain a response.)

4. If the response check was satisfactory; check the SAT block on the checklist.

FIELD RADIATION SURVEYS

1.0 General Area Surveys

NOTE: Refer to Attachment 7.1 Radiation Survey Instruments: Battery & Response Checks, and Operation for instructions on instrument operation.

1.1 Before entering an affected area, perform a background measurement using the Micro-R Meter and record background reading and time on the Field Team Radiation Survey (Form 26097).

1.2 As directed by MUDAC, proceed toward the plume using the Emergency Zone Map booklet from the Field Team Kit and GPS unit to determine the location of the plume.

1.3 Using the MicroR meter set on the 25 scale, search for the edge of the plume (defined as ten times background). Increase scales as radiation levels increase.

1.4 When the Micro-R Meter exceeds its maximum range (5000 micro R), change to the Beta/Gamma dose rate instrument, R0-2A.

NOTE: For an ED dose or dose rate alarm, immediately EXIT the plume pathway and notify the Field Team Dispatcher. The alarms are indicated visually by "Dose Alarm" or Rate Alarm" flashing on the ED display. For an ED clock alarm, NOTIFY the Field Team Dispatcher. The clock alarm is indicated visually by "CLOG" on the ED display alternating with the dose and dose rate displays.

1.5 When directed by MUDAC, traverse the plume constantly monitoring radiation levels and record locations, dose rates and other required information for the plume centerline and edges on Form 26097. Proceed until the other edge of the plume is identified.

1.6 Record field survey results on Form 26097 and report field team readings to the Field Team Coordinator or Field Team Dispatcher. ·

a. Report readings by column number. For example, "Column 4, 1500." Units are not necessary.

b. Record and report to the Field Team Coordinator gross Beta/Gamma radiation readings. Calculation of the Beta component is not required unless requested by MUDAC.

c. If requested to calculate the Beta component, multiply the Beta correction factor, located on the side of the R02A, times the difference of the open and closed window readings .

Attachment 7.3, Field Radiation Surveys

•

•

•



1. 7 When the Micro-R Meter approaches 5000 micro-R/hr (5 mrem/hr), change to the Beta/gamma dose rate instrument, R0-2A.

Identify if you are in the plume or just seeing plume shine, as follows:

NOTE: All open and closed readings must be done in the same location and not from a moving vehicle. Consider ALARA practices in choosing how many readings to take.

a. When first entering the plume, and again at centerline, take open and closed window readings at 3 feet and at 6 inches above the ground. The plume centerline is the location of the highest reading.

NOTE: When the open and closed window readings are the same, you are seeing gamma shine from the overhead plume. If the open window reading is higher than the closed window reading, (by approximately 20% or greater) you are seeing some Beta radiation. When Beta readings are detected, you are in the plume.

1.8

b. Record both sets of open and closed window readings .

If the Micro-R Meter indicates a plume reading of less than 3000 micro-R/hr, you can determine if you are actually in the plume (instead of under it) by repeating Step 1. 7 using the Count Rate Meter/GM pancake probe as the instrument, and the cardboard from your notebook as a window.

1.9 Do not stop to report data while in the plume. Report the plume edge and centerline readings and their locations to the Field Team Dispatcher at the earliest possible time.

1.1 O Leave the plume area when not taking readings, but leave the instrument turned on at all times for constant monitoring purposes.

1.11 After being in the plume, periodically conduct a survey of yourself and your vehicle using the count rate meter, and if contaminated, advise the Field Team Dispatcher .

2.0 Ground Contamination Surveys

NOTE: Refer to Attachment 7.1 Radiation Survey Instruments: Battery & Response Checks, and Operation for instructions on instrument operation.

2.1 As directed by the Field Team Dispatcher, perform a ground contamination survey:

a.. Select small area of level ground (3' x 3') with minimal vegetation .

. NOTE: The detector probe should not be allowed to touch the ground or come in contact with potentially contaminated vegetation.

2.2

b. Using the Micro-R Meter and the Ludlum Model 2 with pancake probe, take readings at ground level (1/2 inches above the surface) and at waist level, approximately 3 feet above the ground. ·

c. When the Micro-R Meter approaches 5000 micro R change to the R0-2A, and repeat ground level and waist level readings at the same locations.

d. If ground level reading is higher than waist level reading, assume the ground to be contaminated .

Record all four readings on the Form 26097.

2.3 Repeat the ground contamination survey in several locations.

2.4 Select the highest set of readings and report them to the Field Team Dispatcher.

PORTABLE AIR SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONS

. CAUTION Environmental air sampling should be performed sufficiently downwind to minimize dose. All field team personnel should be instructed to contact MUDAC prior to entering the plume and should be made aware of expected dose rates. Air sampling should not be conducted in fields where the projected dose would exceed 1800 mrem. If it is determined that a dose adjustment factor is necessary, adjust this 1800 mrem/hr value accordingly.

1.0 Portable Air Sampler Setup and Operational Test

a. Monitor your exposure during performance of this Attachment.

b.

NOTES: Silver zeolite cartridges should be used during actual events only. Do not use silver zeolite during drills or exercises. Charcoal cartridges may be used to detect radioiodine if noble gases are purged from the charcoal cartridge .

Obtain the air sampler, cartridge and particulate filter.

c. If not already marked, mark a charcoal or silver zeolite (AgZ) cartridge with an arrow to indicate the direction of the air flow.

d. Insert the cartridge and a clean two-inch filter paper, (spongy side facing outward), into the air sample head. Refer to the diagram in this Attachment.

WARNING Potential hazard of explosion or fire during connection of an Anderson clip adapter's leads to the vehicle's battery terminals exists. Don safety glasses prior to making electrical connections.

e. IF the vehicle does NOT have an Anderson clip connector, THEN a clip adapter must be installed prior to attaching the air sampler. A clip adapter is available in the EOF Field Team Equipment cabinet.

f.

Connect the adapter's positive battery terminal lead first, then connect the negative lead to a ground away from the battery's negative lead cable post (a ground connection can be any metal object within the vehicle's engine compartment).

Connect the sampler's Anderson clip connector to the vehicle's connector, located just below the grille or to the end of the Anderson clip adapter if used. Leave vehicle engine running while operating the air sampler to assure constant voltage.

g. Turn the air sampler on. Determine initial flow rate from the rotometer on the side of the air sampler. Note the flow rate information on the Sample Identification Form (Form 19324) and EFT Member Checklist (step 1.1.14).

h. If the flow rate is less than one or greater than five CFM, the air sampler is inoperable. Contact the Field Team Coordinator for further instructions, or obtain a new air sampler from the Cal lab and retest. !Ethe air sampler fails its pre-operational checks, THEN, obtain spare air sampler from Room 1990, or from HP.

i. Based on air sampler flow rate, determine the sample time necessary to obtain a sample of 10 cubic feet. Record the 10 cubic foot sample time on EFT Member Checklist (step 1.1.14).

j. When the air sampling test is complete, disconnect the air sampler from the Anderson clip by grasping the connector on the sampler's power cord and pulling it from the Anderson clip.

k. If the Anderson clip adapter is installed on the vehicle, then disconnect adapter from the vehicle's battery by removing the negative lead first and then the positive lead .

Obtaining an Air Sample

NOTE: Air sampler preparation (sample head assembly) and paperwork initiation should be performed outside the plume.

a. When directed by MUDAC, collect an environmental air sample in accordance with the following instructions:

b. Proceed to assigned sample location and locate the plume centerline (highest reading).

c. Obtain window open/window closed readings to ensure that you are in the plume. If the readings are the same, you are seeing only shine from the plume. Air samples should only be taken if you are in the plume.

d. ~nsure the following conditions of operation are met:

• If at all possible, do not place sampler on a known contaminated surface

• Keep sampler away from vehicle exhaust gases

• Do not point air sampler inlet toward any object which may restrict air flow

• Do not stand in front of sampler inlet when running or allow loose clothing to restrict air flow


•

•

•



e. If the vehicle is equipped with no Anderson clip connector and air sampling will be necessary, then a clip adapter must be installed prior to attaching the air sampler. A clip adapter is available in the EOF Field Team Equipment cabinet.

• Connect the adapter's positive battery terminal lead first, then connect the negative lead to a ground away from the battery's negative lead cable post (a ground connection can be any metal object within the vehicle's engine compartment).

f. Connect the sampler's Anderson clip connector to the vehicle's connector, located just below the grille or at the end of the Anderson clip adapter if used. Leave vehicle engine running while operating the air sampler to assure constant voltage.

g. . Turn the air sampler on.

h. If the flow rate is less than one or greater than five CFM, the air sample will be invalid. Leave the plume and contact the Field Team Coordinator for further instructions.

i. Perform area dose rate survey for sample location.

j. Record start flow rate, sample start time and sample location dose rate on the Sample Identification Form (Form 19324).

k. Upon completion of sampling, turn off the air sampler, note sample stop time, and disconnect the air sampler from the Anderson clip by grasping the connector on the sampler's power cord and pulling it from the Anderson clip.

• If the Anderson clip adapter is installed on the vehicle, then disconnect adapter from the vehicle's battery by removing the negative lead first and then the positive lead.

I. Leave the area of the plume to complete your documentation following the instructions in Attachment 7.5.

m. Label separate plastic bags for the filter and charcoal cartridges with the sample identification number, location, date, and time collected.

n. If using charcoal cartridge vs. Silver Zeolite, purge noble gases by reconnecting air sampler to vehicle's electrical system as in Steps "e" through "g" above and drawing clean air through filter and cartridge for a minimum of 2 minutes .


•

•

•



NOTE: When performing Steps "o" through "s," use appropriate contamination protection. Protection should include plastic gloves, and if required, shoe covers and coveralls. ·

o. Disassemble sample head to allow access to the particulate filter and the cartridge. Remove the filter (using tweezers) and the cartridge from sample head to assure appropriate probe geometry when counting.

p. Determine both filter and cartridge dose rates or count rates by placing the appropriate instrument detector on the inlet side of the filter or cartridge.

q. Record both filter and cartridge sample readings on Sample Identification Form (Form 19324). Note particulate and iodine sample readings in the Remarks section separately.

r. Record filter reading, cartridge sample reading, and background reading on the Form 26097. Report the results to the Field Team Coordinator.

• Units in Form 26097 Air Sample Result blocks should be counts per minute (cpm) if the samples were counted with a Ludlum Model 2 Frisker or mR/hr if the samples were counted with the R0-2A.

s. Place the filter and cartridge in separate pre-labeled plastic bags then seal bags.

t. Survey team members for contamination. If contaminated, advise the Field Team Dispatcher.

u. Transport the samples, with Sample Identification Forms, as directed by the Field Team Coordinator. Ensure that particulate filters and the corresponding cartridges are transported together and that Sample Identification Forms accompany the samples .

NRC SITE TEAM INTEGRATION

Introduction

Following an Incident of National Significance, typically associated with General Emergency classification, or Alert or higher for terrorist events, the NRC will assume the role of the Federal · Coordinating Agency under the National Response Plan. As Coordinating Agency, the NRC responsibilities include (1) performing an independent assessment of the safety of the facility; (2) evaluating licensee protective action recommendations; (3) performing oversight of the licensee (monitoring, advising, assisting, and/or directing); (4) supporting and coordinating with State and local authorities and OHS; reporting information to appropriate entities including the media and the public.

When the severity of,an incident warrants full response capabilities by the NRC, the NRC escalates to an Expanded Activation mode. The expanded activation allows the NRC to better be able to perform their responsibilities. In the expanded activation mode, the NRC will dispatch an NRC team of technical experts to the licensee's site. The site response is led by the NRC Site Team Director.

Following the NRC Site Team integration into the EOF, TSC, and JIC, the NRC Site Team Director will confer with NRC Operations Center which may delegate command of the incident to the Site Team Director. This is essentially a delegation of NRC Commissioner duties to the Site Team Director and is not necessarily an automatic result. The Site Team Director assumes supervision of NRC personnel, represents NRC in interactions with other agencies, and decides what response actions must be taken following delegation authority.

The key members of the Site Team include, in addition to the Site Team Director, the Technical Assessment Branch Leader, Protective measures Branch Leader, Security/Safeguards Branch Leader, Response Branch Leader, Liaison Leader and the Public Information Leader. Each of the Branch Leaders reports to the EOF with the exception of the Public Information Leader who reports to the JIC. Each Branch Leader also has a staff reporting to them. The Site Team will also include the NRC Senior Resident Inspector in the TSC and the Resident Inspector in the Control Room.

The NRC Site Team is here as part of the response team and is not here as a regulator.

Emergency Classification Actions

At Unusual Event:

Following declaration of an Unusual Event, Energy Northwest will initiate a notification from the Control Room to the NRC Operations Center. The call to the NRC must be completed within sixty minutes following the emergency classification.

The NRG Operations Center will notify the Regional Duty Officer who is typically a Branch Chief and the Region goes into a monitoring mode. The Regional Duty Officer will initiate a conference call / briefing which may include the Utility. Following the briefing, the Utility may drop off the call or may be asked to maintain an open line.

Action: No NRG Integration actions are required by the EOF, TSC, or JIC at Unusual Event.

Attachment 7.1, NRG Site Team Integration

•

•

•


Title: EOF Manager Duties Page: 10of 13

At Alert:

Following the Alert classification, the Incident Response Team will form at the Region. The Base Team at the Region consists of Technical Assessment and Liaison personnel. The Base Team is in command of the NRC response to the event and will perform the following:

• Contact the State of Washington to assess their needs.

• Activation of the Reactor Safety Counterpart Link with the Senior Resident in the TSC.

No actions are required by the Energy Northwest EOF, TSC, or JIC to integrate the NRC at this level. The EOF may be requested to activate the Management Counterpart Link (MCL) phone bridge. MCL participants will include NRC personnel from the region as well as the NRC Operations Center and NRC Headquarters.

At Site Area Emergency:

Following declaration of a Site Area Emergency, the Region will transition into Expanded Activation. Expanded activation will include the addition of the Protective Measures team. Both the Protective Measures Counterpart Link and Reactor Safety Counterpart Link bridges will be activated with the Region and NRC Headquarters .

Following activation of the NRC EOC, the NRC Headquarters.will take over command of the NRC response; however, the Region remains connected by phone bridge and data streams.

Action: The NRC may request Energy Northwest to staff Health Physics Network (HPN) bridge with a dose assessment specialist or REM. It is the responsibility of the EOF REM to identify an individual to staff the HPN line.

Action: Following activation of the Management Counterpart Link phone bridge, the Emergency Director will be requested to connect to this bridge.

The NRC wiil activate the Management Counterpart phone bridge which will connect the Region and Headquarters. There is an expectation that the utility will stay connected to the bridge but may leave or put the line on hold to address ERO functions. There are dedicated Management Counterpart phones available in the TSC and EOF. The utility will be expected to provide key utility contact names and phone numbers as well as provide status updates.

Action: Integrate NRC into EOF

If a Site Team is dispatched, they will receive routine updates while en route to the site via telephone or other wireless devices. Once the Site Team arrives in the area, they will contact the EOF for access protocol, routing recommendations, release information that could impact their response or other logistics. The Site Teams members NRC identification (badge) is sufficient for access to the site; however, the NRC vehicles are subject to the random security search process .

Attachment 7.1, NRC Site Team Integration

•

•

•



The Site Support Manager is designated as the Utility Point of contact for logistics at the site.

Action: The Site Support Manager's will perform the following:

• Attend the EOF Manager's NRC response team briefing.

• Provide NRC members with copies of the EOF seating chart.

• Provide directions on locations of restroom facilities.

• Coordinate administrative support.

• Identify phone locations and phone use instructions.

• Introduce NRC response team members to their EOF counterparts:

Site Team Director to EOF Manager

Protective Measures Branch Leader to REM

Technical Assessment Branch Leader to Engineering Manager

Shortly after arrival at the EOF, the NRC will expect a concise update brief from the EOF Manager. This briefing should last no longer than ten minutes. The individual providing the briefing should assume the NRC is aware of the history of the event.

NOTE: The NRC Site Response Team Briefing Guide, Form 26380, is located in the EOF forms cabinet and should be used as a guide when providing the brief. ·

Action: EOF Manager or designee will provide an event briefing to NRC Site Team.

Following the briefing, the NRC Team should be integrated as quickly as possible with utility and offsite representatives. The integration will be facilitated by Site Support Manager .


•

•

•



At General Emergency:

At the General Emergency classification, the event becomes identified as an Incident of National Significance and the National Response Plan would be implemented. Under the National Response Plan, the NRC would be the Lead Federal Agency and would begin requesting additional resources.

The NRC Site Team integration following a General Emergency classification is the same as at the Site Area Emergency. The utility's responsibilities for a General Emergency would not change from those described for a Site Area Emergency.

NRC Site Team

The following chart identifies the NRC Site Team and includes positions that may be staffed in the EOF, TSC, JIC, and State of Washington EOC. The Site Team may arrive at either a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency .


•

•

•



All site team members are located in the EOF unless otherwise noted. Security positions are only staffed for Security events. Electrical outlets are available for the Site Team Director, the RSCL Communicator, the PMCL Communicator, and the PMCL Communicator.
