3 NVLAP- Personnel Dosimetry For Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) NRC regulations, 10 CFR (d), require all personnel dosimeters to be NVLAP accredited; (d) All personnel dosimeters (except for direct and indirect reading pocket ionization chambers and those dosimeters used to measure the dose to the extremities) that require processing to determine the radiation dose and that are used by licensees to comply with (Occupational Dose Limits for Adults), with other applicable provisions of this chapter, or with conditions specified in a license must be processed and evaluated by a dosimetry processor Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 3

4 NVLAP- Personnel Dosimetry (continued) (1) Holding current personnel dosimetry accreditation from the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology; and (2) Approved in this accreditation process for the type of radiation or radiations included in the NVLAP program that most closely approximates the type of radiation or radiations for which the individual wearing the dosimeter is monitored Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 4

11 NVLAP- Personnel Dosimetry Neutron Correction Factors; Conduct neutron surveys in containment at power (energy spectrum and flux) to determine need for correction factor(s) to dosimeter. NVLAP tests for moderated Cf-252 (average 550 kev). Determined average neutron energy of 20-50keV (fast neutron range) at 100 percent power. For spent fuel pool transfer to dry cask storage, CR-39 dosimeter can be used to determine neutron energies between 200 kev to 6 MeV.

29 Summary Noble gases are inert. Principal noble gas is Xe-133. Ar-41 is present in containment air and is produced by neutron activation. For exposure by submersion in noble gases, external irradiation will be of such overriding importance that it alone need be considered. Although exposure to noble gases does not present a significant radiological hazard, exposure to noble gases can present challenging issues regarding personnel monitoring 2018 Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 29

30 Review (Continued) The beta dose rate is calculated by multiplying the noble gas concentration times the corresponding dose rate factor. The beta dose is calculated and added to the worker s dose record because the TLD badge can not adequately measure the beta dose to the skin The contribution of noble gas particulate daughter activity to the total DACF and to the external dose is negligible. [ Daughter products from the decay of Noble Gases Kr-88 (Kr-88 Rb-88) and Xe-138 (Xe-138 Cs-138) ] 2018 Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 30

33 EFFECTIVE DOSE EQUIVALENT TEDE = EDE + CEDE where: EDE = Σ W T H T Σ W C DDE C TODE = DDE + CDE 2018 Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 33

34 HISTORY OF EDE (I) ICRP-26 (Weighting Factors) NEW PART 20 W T footnote in says use 1.0 until guidance is issued. Until then, says assign highest DDE DOE uses EDE (Savanna River) NCRP-122 (Front / Back Algorithm) Medical uses EDE (Conference of Radiation Control Programs EDE with lead apron) = (1.5 * waist) + (0.04 * neck) 2018 Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 34

37 ANSI N13.41 COMPARTMENT FACTORS Head and neck 0.10 Thorax, above diaphragm 0.38 Abdomen, pelvis 0.50 Upper right & left arm (each) Right & left thigh (each) 2018 Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 37

38 SONGS IMPLEMENTATION ANSI N13.41 thorax and abdomen compartments combined into the chest compartment. Retain current NRC guidance Missed dose not to exceed 30 mrem DDE/shift or 250 mrem DDE total, within each compartment Unintended exposure occurrence, unchanged (100 mrem DDE) When no badge is worn on the thighs, assign chest DDE.

39 NPP - High Dose Gradient Fields Use of multi-badge dosimeters in highly non-uniform radiation fields. Examples include; Under pressurizer ; pressurizer sleeve replacements, source overhead Under reactor head ; inspection / repairs, source overhead Under reactor vessel ; insulation removal and inspection, source overhead Fuel transfer canal ; repair work, source below 2018 Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 39

42 CHANGE MANAGEMENT Procedures Record Software and Dose Control Software Training Management / RP Staff / Rad Worker Training 2018 Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 42

43 SOUND SCIENCE / BENEFIT Assigning highest dosimeter is an approximation that breaks down in highly non-uniform radiation fields. Use of ANSI N13.41 Weighting Factors improves the accuracy of dose assessment. NRC allows the use of EDE in place of DDE for all sources of radiation exposure (medical, NPPs, etc). A more accurate estimate of the risk associated with the radiation exposures experienced by radiation workers at NPPs, particularly for high dose gradient work. Benefit to worker; Worker s assigned dose will be more accurate than simply assigning the maximum deep dose equivalent Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 43

44 ELECTRONIC DOSIMETER SET POINTS TEDE = EDE + CEDE for both estimate and record Electronic dosimeter set points are calculated based on the RWP Dose Limit. Example: Head & chest set; 300 mrem RWP Dose Limit; head/chest ratio R = 3 Chest set point = RWP Limit / (W T C + W T H * R) = RWP Limit / ( * R) = 246 mrem Head set point = Chest set point * R = 738 mrem R is the expected head to chest dose ratio determined by surveys and RP Planning 2018 Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 44

45 REPORTING DOSE ON NRC FORM-5 Example: Head/Chest Set Results Chest dose = 100 mrem DDE/LDE/SDE Head dose = 300 mrem DDE/LDE/SDE EDE = 300 DDE * DDE * 0.89 = 122 mrem NRC Form-5 (rem) DDE = LDE = SDE WB = SDE ME = CEDE = NR CDE = NR TEDE = TODE = Comments Section: Effective Dose Equivalent reported in place of DDE and used to calculate TEDE 2018 Fall Meeting FLORIDA CHAPTER HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY 45
