Evaluating Compliance with DOE-STD-3009-94 Appendix A Requirements

Conference ·
OSTI ID:760268

Appendix A, Evaluation Guideline, is a newly-published guidance document to DOE-STD-3009-94, Preparation Guide for U.S. Department of Energy Nonreactor Nuclear Facility Safety Reports (January 2000). In addition to specifying a numerical radiological criterion to be used in the safety-class (SC) System, Structure, and Component (SSC) selection process for existing Department of Energy (DOE) facilities, Appendix A also describes methods and assumptions for calculating doses. Included are standardized dispersion specifications for quantifying doses to the site boundary from postulated accidental releases from the affected facility. While calculations of this nature must be performed at numerous DOE sites and for many facility types, few computer models rigorously comply with the requirements of Appendix A. Moreover, site-specific characteristics must be evaluated that take into account directional distance to the boundary, height of and the duration of the release.
