Radioactive Effluents and Offsite Dose Calculation Manual
RETS/ODCM Training

LENGTH: 3 days

CONTACT: (410) 421-5454

COURSE DESCRIPTION: A three (3) day training course on NRC regulatory requirements and implementation methods for radioactive effluent control and dose modeling. Course can be customized to plant specific Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) requirements. Main objectives are:

  • To provide a historical perspective on the development of the NRC’s regulations for radioactive effluents from nuclear power plants. Specific background and technical bases are discussed addressing the applicable regulatory requirements for public exposure limits in 10 CFR 20 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, and Regulatory Guide 1.109.
      
  • To examine acceptable methods for calculating liquid and gaseous discharge radiation monitor alarm setpoints to comply with regulatory requirements. To present standard practices for verifying radiation monitoring system and laboratory counting instrument calibrations.
      
  • To describe the relationship between radioactive waste processing design basis and operational requirements for processing and releasing radioactive effluents.
      
  • To provide in-depth training on radioactive effluent dose modeling. The details of the modeling for liquid and gaseous pathways of exposure are presented with specific application of the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.109 and NUREG-0133. Training can be tailored to include plant specific ODCM methodology.
      
  • To present the requirements of a routine Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program and the relationship with demonstrating ALARA for radioactive effluents.
       

Additionally, training is provided on NRCDose, which is a WINDOWS™ version of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I Implementation codes used by the NRC to validate licensee's compliance with the public exposure limits due to liquid and gaseous releases
