EV30 - PEP 1-A: DOE-STD-1153-2019 A Graded Approach for Evaluating Radiation Doses to Aquatic and Terrestrial Biota (McLellan)Lake Concord 08:00 - 10:00 |
| DOE-STD-1153-2019, A Graded Approach for Evaluating Radiation Doses to Aquatic and Terrestrial Biota was published earlier this year at DOE and is on the DOE Technical Standards Website. The revised standard has been reduced to one volume and updated to add new radionuclides, updated parameters, and enhanced methods, models, guidance and case studies to support DOE’s characterization of radiation doses to aquatic and terrestrial biota within a graded approach that meet the requirements set forth in DOE O 458.1, Radiation Protection of the Public and the Environment. This PEP will focus on the changes made to the standard for use in DOE’s continued mission for protection of the public and the environment. This lecture will be followed by a PEP on RESRAD BIOTA, a computer code developed to assist users implementing DOE’s graded approach methodology in this standard. |
