| Lainy Cochran, CHP - Nuclear Incident Response Program, Sandia National Laboratories Brian Hunt, CHP - Nuclear Incident Response Program, Sandia National Laboratories The Department of Energy’s Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) is an asset comprised of representatives of multiple federal agencies that are available on request to support a response to nuclear/radiological accidents and/or emergencies. The FRMAC works with multiple agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to establish consistent radiological dose assessment methods to support public protection guidance provided by the EPA’s and FDA’s Protective Action Guides (PAG). The revised EPA PAG Manual references the FRMAC Assessment Manual (FAM) for radiological dose assessment methods in support of protective action decisions. This presentation provides an overview of the FRMAC Assessment Manual, describes the default methods for radiological dose assessment, and introduces the Turbo FRMAC software tool that automates these assessment methods. |
