EMG-CA C.5 
(1) 
Consequence assessment procedures should include 
______________ 
descriptions of methods and instrumentation used 
to determine the status of affected systems, release 
parameters, and environmental conditions. These 
methods and instrumentation should be specific to 
the point of release, pathway, and material of 
concern. The procedures should: 
EMG-CA 
(a) include methods for determining potential 
______________ 
C.5.a 
source terms (e.g., radioactive material 
inventory in process streams or quantities of 
toxic materials in storage tanks). 
EMG-CA 
(b) include methods for determining the magnitude 
______________ 
C.5.b 
of the release of hazardous materials (e.g., 
effluent monitors, process parameters, leak rate 
indicators, or inventory loss calculations). 
EMG-CA 
(c) address the relationships between effluent 
______________ 
C.5.c 
monitor readings and consequences at specific 
onsite and offsite locations. 
______________ 
(1) The procedures should identify instru- 
mentation that does not directly measure 
effluent but which can provide the basis for 
estimates of material being released. 
(2) The procedures should document the 
______________ 
correlation between instrument readings 
and quantities of interest. 
EMG-CA 
(d) The procedures should describe methods to 
______________ 
C.5.d 
acquire and use meteorological data that are 
commensurate with facility hazards and 
potential emergencies. The meteorological 
program required for consequence assessment 
should be based on an extension of the existing 
environmental program (required by DOE 
Order 4500.1) at each facility.
