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.
