5.1.3 Plume Field Data Developed for Pre-Defined Sampling Points
In addition to the maps, the field team exercise controller can benefit greatly by
having a time correlated set of field mR/hr exposure rate values located specifically
at the pre-designated sampling points identified in the agencies response plan.
Below is an example of such a map associated time correlated (12:45 - 13:00) field
data chart using the SR display and export features of RASCAL, and a custom
developed Excel spreadsheet capable of utilizing the exported data.
It should be noted that this data table has been constructed to include plume
centerline values in addition to the field team pre-designated sampling points.
There are pre-exercise setup requirements needed with the SR feature to prepare
RASCAL to support this field data table construction capability. Specific details,
regarding setting up SR text tables, are discussed in Section 3.0 of this manual.
Figure 5.1.3-1 Time Correlated Plume Field Team Data Table
The Excel spreadsheet table above contains formulas that calculate the individual
values within each row based on the External Gamma + Beta Exposure Rate”
(open window) and External Gamma Exposure Rate” (closed window) data
exported from RASCAL using the SR feature. It also inserts data in other data
columns, based on column data relationships.
Again keep in mind this data is “fabricated” to effectively drive field exercise play by
providing reasonable field data values at response plan pre-designated sampling
point locations, and is not intended to be 99.99% accurate.
The expanded spreadsheet image shown below includes the three data import
columns (on the right) where RASCAL export data is inserted.
