PERT TEP TERT A EAC -3DOE currently lacks the capability to provide timely authoritative support to toxic problems. ‘Natural phenomena surveys . $120,000 This project involves the performance of geophysical surveys and review of prior geophysical surveys at major DOE sites and the preparation of tornado and seismic risk models based on this information. Additional costs of 120K requested in FY 1979 are required to fund This present schedule the surveys now scheduled for FY 1979 by LLL. will also necessitate $170K in FY 1980 funding to complete the surveys at all major DOE sites which house critical facilities requiring considerationof tornado and seismic design parameters. The development of these risk models as soon as possible is important to DOE because of the present lack of a coordinated Headquarters program to establish this information. Health Physics Support and Assistance $300,000 This project is intended to provide technical assistance to OES and FO in special key priority areas where time and technical skills are an important element, e.g., recordkeeping systems, adequacy of dose assessment, impact of factor 10 reduction to the dose equivalent. Several key issues and special technical problems have arisen requiring immediate evaluation and recommendations. At the present time, the Industrial hygiene support and assistance $200,000 "system" does not permit the immediate selection of expertise to focus on these problems. The proposed project will permit this capability. This project is intended to provide the staff assistance to conduct surveys of DOE or contractor facilities, to conduct investigations, to develop program plans, to prepare written documentation, and to conduct workshops as may be necessary to fulfill DOE's industrial hygiene program requirements. Limited DOE-IH staffing makes it necessary to establish the proposed program. Guidelines - Personnel Dose Calibrations . $125,000 To evaluate the reliability of reported exposure data through a study of dosimetry systems, design practices, and calibration. Develop ‘ appropriate guidelines to improve the quality and reliability of reported exposure information. |
