BHI Engineering ENG-OCS-006 Area Factors for Use with OCS DCGL Values for Buildings/Structures Rev. 1 Page 1 of 6 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this calculation is to develop area factors (AFs) for use with derived concentration guideline levels (DCGL) values for assessing buildings and structures at the Oyster Creek Station (OCS) site.
2.0 APPLICABILITY This calculation applies only the development of AF values for use with DCGLs for structures at the OCS site.

[3.1]. The RESRAD-Build users manual [3.2] provided guidance for code operation.
RESRAD-Build 3.5 was used to perform a parameter sensitivity analysis [3.3] and to calculate building surface DCGL values [3.4]. To maintain consistency with the approached used in those calculations, RESRAD-Build 3.5 was also used in the development of AFs.
Except for the number of sources and source size, all input is the same as that used in the building structure DCGL calculations. However, only one source is modeled instead of the six sources considered in calculating the building structure DCGL values. The base case for AF values is a single area source (i.e.,
a 64 m2 floor). Five smaller area sources were assumed with the receptor located 1 meter away from the source midpoint: 50 m2, 10 m2, 5 m2, 2.5 m2, and 1 m2.
AF values for the buildings/structures were calculated in a 2-step process. First, the total doses from all pathways for each ROC for a base case and the assumed reduced sizes of contaminated areas were calculate using RESRAD-Build 3.5. Then, the AF values are determined from the ratio of the dose for the base case to the dose for each assumed smaller contaminated area.
5.0 ASSUMPTIONS and INPUT 5.1 Assumptions 5.1.1 Except for the number of sources and area size input, all assumptions regarding input parameters and active exposure pathways are the same as those used in the DCGL calculations.
5.1.2 Area sizes assumed in this calculation are 64 m2 (base case), 50 m2, 10 m2, 5 m2, 2.5 m2, and 1 m2.
5.1.3 The receptor dose point is assumed at 1m away from the center of the various area sources Input 5.2 Input
BHI Engineering ENG-OCS-006 Area Factors for Use with OCS DCGL Values for Buildings/Structures Rev. 1 Page 2 of 6 5.2.1 The ROCs identified for the OCS site [3.5] are shown in Table 1 below. RESRAD-Build 3.5 automatically accounts for progeny radionuclides with input for several of the ROCs (also shown in Table 1).

6.0 RESULTS 6.1 Table 3 summarizes the RESRAD-Build dose results for the various area sizes by ROC.
6.2 Table 4 shows the AF values for each area size by ROC. The AF values were calculated as follows:
AF = dose64/dosei where, dose64 = dose associated with 64 m2, and dosei = dose associated with area size of interest where i = 50m2, 10m2, 5m2, 2.5m2, and 1m2.
