  1. DOE/FRMAC Update April 10, 2014 Alan Remick Emergency Response Manager Office of Emergency Response DOE/NNSA

  2. DOE CM Assets • Modeling • National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center (NARAC) • Radiation Monitoring (includes sampling & analysis) • Consequence Management Home Team (CMHT) • Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) • Aerial Measuring System (AMS) • Consequence Management Response Team (CMRT) • Radiation Medicine • Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS)

  3. FRMAC Integration • DOE has initial lead. EPA leads later phases of response. • A-Team not part of FRMAC, but closely linked. Its recommendations based on FRMAC products. • CM Augmentation State, Tribes, Local NARAC FBI AMS NASA RAP FRMAC NRC CMHT DoD CMRT DHS/ FEMA REAC/ TS EPA A-Team

  4. FRMAC Structure • Senior Steering Committee • WG Charters • New Focus Groups • QA/QC • Training • Data Sharing • Program Manager Still Pending

  5. Capabilities • RadResponder • Integration of Tablet Software (DFMT ↔ RRPro) • Continuing Outreach by RAP • Blended Field Teams (RAP + State) • HSIN FRMAC COI launched • Public release of data via Data.gov • NPP Simplified Briefing Products • Augmentation • NNSA Reserve Corps • Radiological Operations Support Specialist (ROSS) – joint effort with FEMA • Radiological Field Monitoring Specialist (RFMS)

  8. Suite of NPP Briefing Products RDD and IND Briefing Products @: https://cmweb.llnl.gov • Evacuation/Sheltering – T=0‡ • Evacuation/Sheltering – T+12 hours‡ • Worker Protection • KI Administration • Relocation Area (1st & 2nd Yr) • Relocation Area (50-Yr) • Agricultural Concern

  9. Example for Demonstration Only Automated Report: Testing (37.4214,141.032) NPP Release at 14 Mar 2013 06:00 UTC Predicted Evacuation and Sheltering Areas - Most Limiting Criteria The Thyroid Dose is the most limiting of the EPA Guide criteria Projected Total Thyroid Dose - Applicable prior to start of release Evacuation of entire population warranted, unless additional unusually hazardous circumstances exist (exceeds 25 rem for adult). Est. Population: 6490 Area: 29.8 km2 Extent: 10.1 km Evacuation or sheltering-in-place normally initiated (5 to 25 rem for adult). Estimated Population: 24,900 Area: 121 km2 Extent: 24.0 km • Notes: • EPA's Early Phase Guides provide separate criteria to limit dose to both the whole body and the thyroid. Separate predictions of the affected area were compared based on each criteria. • The adult Thyroid Dose criterion is the most limiting in this case. • Protective actions are normally based on the most limiting case. • Prompt evacuation and/or sheltering reduces radiation dose and cancer risk. Sheltering-in-place may be more protective than evacuation while the radioactive cloud is present. • Administration of Potassium Iodide (KI) may be warranted. See Predicted Areas Warranting Administration of Potassium Iodide (KI). • Protective actions are only based on dose that can be avoided. • Assumptions: • Areas shown are model predictions based on an estimated release of airborne radioactivity, but no measurements yet available. • Prediction shows total dose over four days beginning at the start of the release (0 to 96 hrs). • Predicted dose assumes adult receiving maximum exposure with no protective actions or mitigation that is inhaling contamination from the radioactive cloud and resuspended contaminated dust. • Based on 1992 EPA PAG Manual (ICRP 23/26/30 dosimetry). Briefing Product for Public Officials Current: 24 Feb 2014 21:23 UTC Check for updates Technical Details: CMHT 702-867-5309 Advice & Recommendations: A-Team 867-5309 Example for Demonstration Only page 1 of 3 Production.rcE22751.rcC1
