Ar-41 Occupational and Public Dose Assessment at the MUTR

This section deals with the assessment of radiation dose contributions due to Argon-41 gas generated

from operation of the Maryland University Training Reactor (MUTR). The MUTR is housed at the

Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Building on the University of Maryland College Park Campus. TheMUTR is used for the training of Nuclear Engineering students and for research purposes.

Radiation Protection

Federal guidelines demand that "A sustained effort should be made to ensure that collective doses, as well

as annual, committed, and cumulative lifetime individual doses, are maintained ALARA (As Low As

Reasonably Achievable)." In working toward this goal, several conditions needed to be taken intoaccount. Firstly, the dose levels of Argon-41 achievable in areas immediately adjacent to the MUTR

accessible by the general public were to be kept below limits as outlined in Federal regulation 10 CFR 20.

Secondly, total dose contribution of Argon-41 for radiation workers in the MUTR facility must not only

be kept below the limits specified in 10 CFR 20, but also ALARA. Thirdly, actions taken to comply with

the first two tenets must not cause excess wear or damage to operation controls or components of theMUTR or induce excessively adverse working conditions for radiation workers at the MUTR.

To ensure safe and productive use of the MUTR, all activities taken there are conducted in strict

accordance with federal and state safety regulations. Operation at the MUTR shall be carried out in ways

designed to minimize unnecessary radiation dose to radiation workers and to members of the general

public. These doses shall be maintained ALARA.

Sources of Argon-41

Argon-41 is generated during use of the MUTR. Most stems from the activation of dissolved air in the

reactor water, though some trace contributions may come from neutron beam activation of air trapped inthe thermal column or beam ports. As the reactor water warms, it loses its ability to hold air and it

percolates through the reactor pool surface. Assays of Argon-41 levels within the MUTR have been

performed to determine concentration and public dose due to normal reactor operations.

Occupational Dose to Argon-41 from Normal Reactor Operations

The dose risk for those occupationally exposed to Argon-41 is determined by calculating its concentration

in air in terms of activity per unit volume. This is compared to the Derived Air Concentration (DAC),which is the threshold whereupon a radiation worker over the course of a standard "work-year" would

receive a dose equivalent to their annual limit of 5 rem per year for whole body dose. The DAC for

Argon-41 is 3.0 x 10-6 uCi/ml.

An accurate measure of Argon-41 levels at the MUTR was necessary to evaluate actions to mitigate

potential doses. Two techniques were chosen to obtain this data. The first involved using an unshielded

radiation measuring probe, a High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector, to directly measure gamma

emissions from Argon-41 and track its increase in concentration until equilibrium was obtained. This

data provided the time required to reach maximum Argon-41 concentration, as shown in Figure 1.

The results indicated a time of between 3 V2 and 4 hours to reach equilibrium of Argon-41 within theMUTR facility. These results were projected in a graph versus time, as shown in Figure 2. The samplecounts taken from 180 minutes to shutdown were averaged to determine an equilibrium value. From thisprojection, Argon-41 increased approximately 0.56% of the averaged equilibrium rate per minute fromTime Zero.

The second technique took air samples from various locations within the MUTR facility and measuredactivities of Argon-41. Concentrations in various zones within the MUTR and in areas adjacent to itcould then be determined. All measurements in these assays were taken with the MUTR at its maximumpower (250 kW) and air samples were taken with Argon-41 levels at equilibrium. In actuality, the MUTRcould not be operated at maximum power for the duration of one "work-year" (2000 hours) in the courseof a calendar year. These conditions were chosen for the evaluation, however, to provide a safety marginas it represented "worst-case" conditions.

Air samples were taken from four zones within the MUTR facility as indicated in Figure 3. All thesamples were taken at breathing level, defined as I meter above the floor for sitting position, and 1.5meters for standing positions. Position A took samples at the reactor pool edge at a height of 1.5 meters.Position B took samples 1 meter back from the reactor control console at a height of I meter. Position Ctook samples at 2 meters back from thermal column at a height of 1.5 meters. Position D took samples at1 meter from balcony edge at a height of 1.5 meters.

I liter Marinelli beakers evacuated under vacuum were used to take the air samples. Measurements of theMarinelli beakers after evacuation indicated a pressure of approximately 150 Torr, a level comparable tothe rating of the vacuum pump used (Little Giant model 13154). This translates to approximately 20% ofthe original volume of air held within the beaker. To account for the difference from ideal vacuum, theMarinelli beakers were evacuated in the sample zone within the MUTR. Each Marinelli beaker was thenevacuated three times (opening on-site in between each evacuation) to reduce the amount of originalambient air within the beaker to less than 1% of the sample volume. Three samples were taken at eachlocation and the sample closest to the median was used for activity calculations. This would eliminate theeffect of outliers possibly caused by loss of vacuum of the Marinelli beakers or anomalous plumes ofArgon-41.

To account for deviations from Normal Temperature and Pressure (NTP - 200 C and 760 Torr),measurements of ambient temperatures and pressures were taken with each sample. With this data, an

Effective Volume of air contained within the Marinelli beaker was calculated. Effective volume was

determined from the Ideal Gas Law. With PV=nRT as our sample of gas and P'V'=nRT' as a sample of

gas at NTP, we can calculate the following:

Efficiency calibration carried out using an air equivalent standard (Eckhart and Ziegler Standard 81144A-

577), as shown in Figure 4. The efficiency for Argon-41(which has a gamma emission energy of 1293keV) was determined by calculating the slope between Co-60 energies (1173 keV and 1332 keV). For the

measurements taken in this assay, the fractional efficiency for Argon-41 was calculated to be 6.61 x 10'.

Activity was determined by first decay correcting the total counts back to the time of sampling. Thedecay-corrected counts were then divided by the detector efficiency to get the total counts over the

counting period.

The counts were divided by the total time in seconds to determine decays per second (Bq) and then

converted to jtCi. The equation is as follows:

Activity = (Counts/1200 )/(37000dps/(j±CO)

The final concentration is a ratio of the Activity to the Effective Volume in milliliters.

The results of the assays of the MUTR at maximum power and Argon-41 levels at equilibrium are shown

in Tables 1 and 2.

Since the MUTR takes between 3 /2 and 4 hours for Argon-41 to reach equilibrium values, the calculatedconcentrations of Argon41 do not represent a proper way to compare to the DAC. To account for lowerconcentration of Argon-41 over the time interval between Time Zero and equilibrium, an EffectiveConcentration was determined by 1) assuming a linear increase in concentration until equilibrium; 2)obtaining the equilibrium level from an average of counts taken between 180 to 299 minutes; and 3) using4 hours as the time to reach average equilibrium. With a linear concentration increase inArgon-41concentration, the effective concentration would be 0.75 of the average equilibrium, assuming 8 houroperation of the MUTR. The results are shown in Table 3.

Even adjusted as Effective Concentration, the assays of Argon-41 still yield two zones near or above theDAC. One possible action to minimize levels of Argon-41 would be to run the ventilation fans within theMUTR during all hours of operation. While this would definitely minimize public and radiation workerdose contributions from Argon-41, it would have several negative effects on the MUTR facility and itsoperation. During the winter months, outside air would cause a severe drop in temperature, as the air isnot conditioned, and this would likely affect safe operator and worker performance. High humidity,especially in the summer months, would eventually corrode and degrade control components such asrelays. For this reason, constant operation of the fans was not considered a viable action. Instead,intermittent use of the fans during MUTR operation was chosen as the technique best suited to meet therequired conditions. At 50% of the maximum concentration of Argon-41, the fans were operated for tenand fifteen minutes intervals (allowing for a complete change of the volume of air in the MUTR). In thisway Argon-4 l's dose contributions would be mitigated, as dictated by the ALARA principle, while notaffecting the safe operation of the MUTR through excess wear. This was tested in the experiment shownbelow.

The first trials tested 10 minute runs of the ventilation fans approximately every two hours. Assays wereconducted using both an open HPGe probe at the Console and evacuated Marinelli beaker samples at theExperiment Floor. The HPGe probe logged data every 20 minutes and the Marinelli samples were takenat points prior to and after fan operation. These tests indicated the technique would result in an effectiveconcentration of 50 to 55% of the average equilibrium, assuming an 8 hour operation of the MUTR at fullpower (See Figure 5).

Considering the concentration of Argon-41 found on the Experiment Floor, the next trial increased thelength of fan operation to 15 minutes. Evacuated Marinelli beakers were used to assay Argon-41concentration at the Console. Two samples were taken for each fan run, one prior and one after, tocalculate the drop in Argon-41 concentration. For these tests, movement to and from the MUTR wasrestricted as much as possible and the door from the Console to the Bridge was shut. This resulted inhigher concentrations of Argon-41 than would be found under normal conditions, but would give theclearest indication of the ventilation fan performance. The results of the tests are shown in Table 4.

Argon-41 concentrations averaged drops of 75% after ventilation fan runs of 15 minutes. We can projectthis pattern of reduction onto the equilibrium levels of Argon-41 obtained under normal conditions atmaximum power. Conducting 15 minute fan runs every two hours results in the reductions in Argon-41concentrations in the following tables and graphs.

Using ventilation fan runs at two hour intervals result in overall Argon-41 concentrations well below theDAC except in the case of the Experiment Floor, which remains at an estimated 112.7% of the DAC.

Estimated Annual Dose to Uncontrolled Areas due to Argon-41 Production from the MUTRThe dose risk for members of the general public in uncontrolled areas due to Argon-41 is conducted usingtwo modeling software packages: the Environmental Protection Agency program COMPLY, and HotSpot(Version 2.07.1). To model the dose to the general public outside the Chemical and Nuclear EngineeringBuilding, which houses the MUTR, both programs are used.

Both models take into consideration factors such as release height and wind speed. HotSpot uses a moredetailed model to calculate the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) to a receptor. For the totalactivity, the average concentration of Argon-41 generated by the MUTR at maximum power atequilibrium, 5.82 xl0-6 ý.Ci/ml, was multiplied by the total volume of the facility. This figure wasdetermined by averaging the three highest concentrations of Argon-41 in the MUTR as listed on Table 2.The balcony was excluded due to insufficient data, and, since the balcony measurements were the lowestof the four locations, discounting it results in a more conservative value. With ventilation fans runningevery 2 hours during operation, 4 "flushes" of 75% of the total Argon-41 activity would occur eachoperating day. Projected over 250 operating days per year, this calculates to 1.7 Curies per Yearreleased.

The HotSpot program projection can be found in Attachment A. According to HotSpot, the maximumpossible dose received by a member of the general public would be 1.81 mrem.

The factors were then entered into the COMPLY program as a confirmation model. The report can befound in Attachment B. The maximum potential dose according to the COMPLY model projects to 5.1mrem per year.

To account for seepage of Argon-41 at ground level, HotSpot was used to model leakage. A leakage rateof 5% of the previously calculated total activity at the surface was used to calculate potential dose. As apoint of comparison the leakage model was calculated manually. The calculation assumed no ventilationfans run during the operation, the most conservative model. One calculates the Deep Dose Equivalent(DDE) to members of the public at a given distance downwind from the facility by the followingequation:

These hand calculations were carried out as a verification of the HotSpot and COMPLY models. TheHotSpot leakage model projection, used as the official calculation in this publication, can be found inAttachment C. As such, the maximum potential dose to a member of the general public according to theHotSpot model is 4.39 mrem, which is below 10 CFR Part 20 limits.

ConclusionIn uncontrolled areas, the potential public dose due to Argon-41 is well within the limits specified in 10CFR 20. The potential occupational dose contribution due to Argon-41 is also well within regulatorylimits when the ventilation fans are operated at 2 hour intervals for a minimum of 15 minutes at all

locations within the MUTR except the Experiment Floor. In order to maintain the occupational dose of

all workers around the MUTR, the following additional precautions will be taken.

EXPERIMENT FLOOR KILOWATT HOUR RESTRICTION

The DAC of 3.0 x 10-6 ýiCi per ml is based on a work year of 2000 hours. Access to the Experiment Floorof the MUTR shall have an annual cap of the equivalent of 1500 hours at full power. After reaching this

threshold, personnel shall be restricted from accessing the Experiment Floor during reactor operation.Logs of total kilowatt hours of operation are maintained at the MUTR. With such a cap in place, all of

the zones within the MUTR will have effective Argon-41 concentrations below the DAC (projected over

the course of the calendar year).

ALARA PROGRAM

All radiation workers at the MUTR are issued dosimetry sensitive to beta, gamma and neutron radiation

on a bimonthly basis. The ALARA program triggers an investigation whenever a radiation workerreceives a dose of 10% of the bimonthly limit (approximately 80 mrem). The investigation will take into

account worker technique and evaluate possible changes in potential dose. This assures workers at theMUTR that not only will their occupational dose be within regulatory limits, but will be maintained

ALARA.

The MUTR will continue to evaluate performance on an ongoing basis and strive to optimize alltechniques to reduce the level of exposure due to Argon-41. In this way, we can assure that both workers

within the MUTR and the general public that safety is a top concern at the University of Maryland.

Accident Analysis MHA

Accident Analysis

Introduction

The NRC licenses research and test reactors consistent with the NRC mission to ensureadequate protection of the public health and safety and to promote and protect the environment.NUREG 1537 Part 1 and 2 guidance describes acceptable format and content of the safety analysisreport (SAR) to be submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) by an applicant orlicensee of a non-power reactor for a license renewal.

Chapter 13 lists the bases, scenarios, and analyses of accidents at the reactor facility, anddescribes a Maximum Hypothetical Accident, MHA, which may include a fission product release,and radiological consequences to the operational staff reactor users and the public. For researchreactors licensed before January 1, 1994, the doses that the NRC has generally found acceptable foraccident analysis result in less than 5 rem whole body and less than 30 rem thyroid for occupationalexposure, and less than 0.5 rem whole body and less than 3 rem thyroid for members of the public.

The, MHA, which assumes an incredible failure that can lead to fuel cladding or to a fueledexperiment containment breach, is used to bound credible accidents in the accident analysis. TheMHA for TRIGA reactors is a cladding failure of a single irradiated fuel element in air with releaseof fission product inventories to the reactor confines and the public. In general, the escape of fissionproducts from fuel 'or fueled 'experiments and their release to the unrestricted environment would bethe most hazardous radiological accident conceivable at a non-power reactor. However, non-powerreactors are designed and operated so that a fission product release is not credible for most.Therefore, this release under accident conditions can reasonably be selected as the MHA, whichbounds all credible accidents and can be used in the analysis of events and consequences during theaccidental release of radioactive material. Instantaneous release of noble gases and halogen fissionproducts follow from the cladding failure of this one element. The gases and fission productsinstantly and uniformly mix with the reactor room air. This concentration may be exhausted out ofthe building through elevated vents 'elevated release', at a rate of 2.83 m3 per s. Leakage out of thebuilding through a window crack or doorway leak 'ground release', is assumed to occur at a rate of5%/hour, at a rate of 2.42 x 10-2 m3 per s.

Fuel element failure can occur at any time during normal operations or when the reactor is atrest and shutdown. In this worst case scenario a single element has been removed from the reactorand dropped to the floor of the reactor building outside of the biological shield. Fission products arereleased in air from the gap and the cladding and instantaneously and uniformly mix in the volume ofthe reactor building.

In NUREG CR-2387 Credible Accident Analysis for TRIGA and TRIGA Fueled Reactors,the only potential for offsite exposures and doses is indicated as a fuel handling accident that basedon highly conservative assumptions would result in dose equivalents of < 1 mrem TEDE from noblegases and < 1.2 rem to the thyroid from radioiodines.

The analysis and accident scenario given in NUREG 2387 gives the following analysis for a1MW TRIGA after 1 year of continuous operation at full power, 365MWd. The Maryland UniversityTraining Reactor, MUTR is a 250 kW TRIGA reactor and therefore not capable of this level of

Accident Analysis MHA

operation. The analysis and subsequent inventories and released activities from the damaged fuelelements are thus highly conservative for this facility.

The analysis assumes 50 elements were present in the core and the central elementexperiences the greater than average burn up. At 1/50 or 2% or the total the element would contain4% of the total activity in the core. The noble gas and radioiodine activities in this element are3828.8 Ci or Krypton, 9431 Ci of Iodine, and 3933 Ci of Xenon. A one year operation of the MUTRat 250 kW for 365 days is 91.25 MWd and the equivalent activities would be 25% of these values or957.2 Ci or Krypton, 2357.8 Ci of Iodine and 983.3 Ci of Xenon.

All the activity would not be released from the element as the fuel matrix acts strongly toretain the fission products. According to NUREG 2387 the gap activity fraction is approximately1.5xl0 5 . GA developed a conservative correlation for fission product release to be:

e = 1.5E-5 + 3.6x10 3 e {-1.34x10/ (T+273)}, at T = 300 for the MUTR this yields 1.5E-5

For the MUTR the total release activity based on this release fraction would be 14.4 mCiKrypton, 35.4 mCi of Iodine and 14.7 mCi of Xenon. Activities and released values are as follows:

Dose determination for these released activities was calculated using Federal Guidance Report 11 and12 Dose Conversion Factors (DCF) for internal and external values. For atmospheric stability aground level release was assumed for the case of leakage out of the reactor building and an elevatedrelease for exhaust through the MUTR ventilation system. Horizontal and vertical diffusioncoefficients were utilized from CEMBER, Introduction to Health Physics third edition as referencedfrom D.H. Slade, Meteorology and Atomic Energy Tech Inform 1968 and are also readily availablethrough other references. A Pasquill category F, moderately stable condition, was chosen for allreleases as a conservative category. Values below 100 m are not available in any reference thereforedose determination at minimum distances to the unrestricted areas such as at I Om were determinedusing HOTSPOT software.
