ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016
- 1. EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
This report is published to provide information regarding radioactive effluent monitoring at Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) nuclear power plant. The 2016 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) covers the period from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016.
The ARERR is produced annually, to document plant releases and offsite dose resulting from these releases. The data presented indicate that the operation of ANO-1 and ANO-2 results in offsite radiation exposures that are well below the applicable allowable levels set by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Data on releases of radioactive isotopes in liquid and gaseous effluents, as well as regulatory limits and sampling methods for these releases, are contained in the body of the report and in Appendix A.
Regulatory limits for radioactive effluents pertain to allowable offsite doses rather than to quantities of radioactivity released. The highest potential single organ dose to a person living offsite due to iodines, particulates, tritium, and carbon-14 released from the plant was calculated to be 0.51 mrem, which is 2.1% of the applicable limit found in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I.
During 2016, no direct radiation dose to members of the public beyond the site boundary was attributed to the operation of ANO-1&2, based on analysis of readings of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) placed at various locations near the ANO site. The offsite dose due to effluents is a small fraction of the 40 CFR 190 limits. Therefore, the combined direct radiation and effluent dose due to ANO-1&2 was in compliance with 40 CFR 190 in 2016.
Data on radioactivity contained in radioactive waste shipments from ANO-1&2 to offsite locations are contained in the body of the report and in Appendix A. Appendix B of this report describes the ANO Ground Water Protection Program. This program was established as part of the sites commitment to conformance with an industry-wide ground water protection initiative.
This appendix also contains the results of 2016 quarterly/semi-annual ground water sampling, from approximately 20 monitor wells around ANO. One well of these monitor wells, MW-17; has yielded sporadic trace quantities of tritium that have been attributed to the recapture of tritium in precipitation from the plants monitored gaseous effluent. Appendix C of this report contains the meteorological joint frequency distribution tables for 2016. The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) was revised in 2016, and the revised ODCM is shown as Appendix D. Additional sections of the report address ODCM required monitors which were out of service for more than 30 days in 2016, major changes in radioactive waste processing, and the contents of outside temporary tanks, abnormal releases, and errata to previous years' reports.

ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016
- 2. INTRODUCTION ANO is a two unit site consisting of a Babcock & Wilcox (Unit 1) and a Combustion Engineering (Unit 2) nuclear steam supply system. Both liquid and gaseous effluents are released in accordance with the ODCM. This report is a summary of the effluent data in accordance with ANO-1 Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.3 and Unit 2 TS 6.6.3.
Noble Gases:
Some of the fission products released in airborne effluents are radioactive isotopes of noble gases, such as xenon and krypton. These noble gases are released continuously at low levels while the reactor is operating. Noble gas releases to the environment are reduced by plant systems which delay release of these gases from the plant, which allows a portion of the noble gas activity to decay within plant systems prior to release. Noble gases are biologically and chemically nonreactive and are readily dispersed in the atmosphere. They do not concentrate in humans or other organisms; however, they contribute to human radiation dose by being an external source of radiation exposure to the body.
Iodines and Particulates:
ANO-1&2 is required to calculate offsite dose due to releases of iodine-131 and iodine-133, which are radioisotopes of iodine with half-lives of 8 days and 1 day, respectively, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days in gaseous and liquid effluents, and tritium. The principal radioactive particulates released are fission products (e.g., yttrium-91m and barium-139) and activation products (e.g., cobalt-58 and cobalt-60). Annual releases of these radionuclides are well within industry norms. Factors such as their high chemical reactivity and solubility in water, combined with the high efficiency of gaseous and liquid processing and radioactive waste systems, minimize their discharge. The main contribution of radioactive iodine to human radiation dose is to the thyroid gland, where the body concentrates iodine.
This exposure results from inhalation or ingestion of these iodines. Radioactive cesiums and cobalts, when ingested or inhaled, contribute to radiation exposure of tissues such as the muscle, liver, and intestines. These iodines and particulates are also a source of external radiation exposure if deposited on the ground.
Tritium:
Tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, is the predominant radionuclide in radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents.
Carbon-14:
U.S. nuclear power plants are expected to report releases of carbon-14 (C-14). The releases reported are based on calculations involving the thermal power rating of the unit and 2016 Year-To-Date (YTD) capacity factors. The calculation performed for this report estimated a total 2016 C-14 releases of 6.62 curies for ANO-1 and 10.36 curies for ANO-2.

ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 Plant Effluent Monitoring:
Effluents are strictly monitored to ensure that radioactivity released to the environment is as low as reasonably achievable and does not exceed regulatory limits. Effluent control includes the operation of monitoring systems, in-plant and environmental sampling and analyses programs, quality assurance programs for effluent and environmental programs, and procedures covering all aspects of effluent and environmental monitoring. The radioactive waste treatment systems at ANO-1&2 are designed to collect, process, and/or delay the release of liquid and gaseous wastes that contain radioactivity The waste gas decay system provides additional delay for such gases. Radioactivity monitoring systems are used to verify that all releases are below regulatory limits. These instruments provide a continuous indication of radioactivity present at the release points. Each instrument is equipped with alarms and indicators in the control room. The alarm setpoints are low enough to ensure that applicable limits will not be exceeded. In some cases, these alarms restrict the release.
All liquid and gaseous radioactive effluents are evaluated to identify the specific concentrations of radionuclides being released. Sampling and analysis provide a more sensitive and precise method of determining effluent composition than monitoring instruments.
A meteorological tower is located on the ANO site. It is linked to computers that record the meteorological data. This data is used in calculating dispersion and deposition factors, which are essentially dilution factors between plant release points and locations offsite. Coupled with the effluent release data, these factors are used to calculate dose to the public. Beyond the plant, devices maintained in conjunction with the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program constantly sample the air in the surrounding environment. Also, frequent samples of other environmental media, such as water and vegetation, are collected to verify that the station radiological effluent program is being appropriately implemented without adverse impact to the surrounding environment.
Exposure Pathways to People Radiological exposure pathways define the methods by which people may become exposed to radioactive material. The major pathways of concern are those that could cause the highest calculated radiation dose. These projected pathways are determined from the type and amount of radioactive material released the environmental transport mechanism, and the use of the environment. The environmental transport mechanism includes consideration of physical factors, such as the hydrological and meteorological characteristics of the area. An important factor in evaluating the exposure pathways is the use of the environment. This is evaluated in the Biennial Land Use Census. Many factors are considered, such as the locations of homes, gardens, and milk or meat animals in the area. The release of radioactive gaseous effluents involves pathways such as external whole body exposure, deposition of radioactive material on plants, deposition on soil, inhalation and ingestion by animals raised for human consumption, and inhalation by humans. The release of radioactive material in liquid effluents involves pathways such as drinking water and fish consumption. Although radionuclides can reach humans by many different pathways, some result in greater dose than others. The most significant pathway is the exposure pathway that will provide the greatest dose to a population, or to a specific individual. Identification of the most significant pathway depends on the radionuclides involved, the age and diet of the individual, and the location of the individuals 4
ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 residence. Doses delivered to the total body and to specific organs are calculated. The organ receiving the greatest dose is important in determining compliance with dose limits. The standard assumptions used in dose calculation result in conservative dose estimates.
Dose Assessment Dose is energy deposited by radiation in an exposed individual. Whole body exposure to radiation involves the exposure of all organs. Most exposures due to external sources of radiation are of this type. Both non-radioactive and radioactive elements can enter the body through inhalation or ingestion. When they do, they are usually not distributed evenly. For example, iodine concentrates in the thyroid gland, cesium collects in muscle and liver tissue, and strontium collects in bone tissue. The total dose to organs from a given radionuclide depends on the amount of radioactive material present in the organ and the amount of time that the radionuclide remains in the organ. Some radionuclides remain for very short times due to their rapid radioactive decay and/or elimination rate from the body, while other radionuclides may remain in the body for longer periods of time. The form of the radionuclide (soluble vs.
insoluble) and the method of uptake also influence residence times in the body.
The maximum dose to the general public in the area surrounding ANO-1&2 is calculated for periods of gaseous release and for each liquid release. The dose due to radioactive material released in gaseous effluents is calculated using factors such as the amount of radioactive material released, the concentration beyond the site boundary, the locations of exposure pathways (for example cow milk, goat milk, vegetable gardens and residences), and usage factors (inhalation and food consumption). The dose due to radioactive material released in liquid effluents is calculated using factors such as radionuclide concentrations, the total volume of liquid released, the total volume of dilution water, near field dilution, and usage factors (water and fish consumption). These calculations produce a conservative estimation of the dose.
- 3. RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT MONITORING RESULTS This section summarizes the results of effluent monitoring and offsite dose calculation for the year 2016. Calculated offsite doses are compared with Nuclear Regulatory Commission limits, and these limits are summarized in Appendix A. Appendix A also contains a detailed discussion of the methods used to determine quantities of radioactivity released in effluents, the types of solid radioactive waste shipped offsite, as well as tables of individual radionuclides released in effluents and shipped as solid radioactive waste.
Data in the following liquid effluent tables represent continuous and batch releases for ANO-1&2.

of the federal limit of 15 mrem specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. (The ANO 1&2 ODCM requires maximum receptor dose calculation for releases of I-131, I-133, H-3, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days; for these isotopes, the thyroid is the highest dose organ.
When C-14 is added, bone becomes the highest dose organ.)
In addition, gamma and beta air dose at the site boundary due to noble gases was calculated.
In 2016, the highest gamma air dose was 7.73E-02 mrad, 0.77% of the 10 mrad annual limit; highest beta air dose in 2016 was 2.73E-02 mrad, 0.14% of the 20 mrad annual limit.
Summary Discussion:
The highest single organ dose is 2.86E-01 mrem to the bone. This is 1.91% of the federal limit of 15 mrem specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. (The ANO-1&2 ODCM requires maximum receptor dose calculation for releases of I-131, I-133, H-3, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days; for these isotopes, the thyroid is the highest dose organ.

ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 Title 40, Part 190 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requires that dose to an individual in the unrestricted area from the uranium fuel cycle, including direct radiation dose, be limited to 25 mrem/year to the total body/other organs and 75 mrem/year to the thyroid. During 2016, there was no direct radiation dose attributed to the operation of ANO 1&2 beyond the site boundary, based on analysis of offsite TLD readings. Based on Dose Summary Table (Page 42) located in Appendix A, the offsite dose due to effluents for ANO-1&2 is 1.14% and 0.43% of 40 CFR 190 limits for the total body and thyroid, respectively. Therefore, ANO-1&2 was in compliance with 40 CFR 190 in 2016. Potential dose to visitors at ANO-1&2 due to all radioactive effluents, including noble gases, was also calculated. The ODCM considers persons visiting the ANO-1&2 Training Center (8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> a day for 52 weeks). Using ODCM assumptions about these categories of visitors, the maximum potential dose to a visitor to ANO-1&2 in 2016 was 7.68E-02 mrem to the maximally exposed organ (thyroid) and 6.72E-02 mrem to the total body. These doses are below the annual maximum offsite doses due to gaseous effluents shown in Dose Summary Table (Page 42), and are very small fractions of the 100 mrem/year limit for individual members of the public due to licensed operation of the plant provided in 10 CFR 20.1301.

Appendix B contains a description of the ANO-1&2 Integrated Groundwater Protection Program, 2016 sampling data for this program, and a discussion of sampling results. Appendix C contains meteorological joint frequency distributions of wind speed and wind direction by atmospheric stability class, for all of 2016. Appendix D contains the revised ODCM.
ODCM REVISION In accordance with ANO-1&2 TSs, changes to the ODCM shall be included in the ARERR for the period in which the change(s) was made effective.
The ODCM was revised two times during 2016 to include the following:
Rev 026 (June 27, 2016)
Changed location of control broadleaf vegetation sample site from current location at intersection of AR Highways 27 and 154 to within the Ozark National Forest at the intersection of Forest Service Roads 36 and 1618A. The change was performed due to forest and broadleaf eradication of previous control location.
Rev 027 (November 29, 2016)
Basis (B) 2.5.1, Radiological Environmental Monitoring, background data is updated to include explanation for sample location choice associated with air station #2. Revised explanation for air station samples in highest D/Q and also in the vicinity of a community.
Defined community as it relates to this location.
PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM REVISIONS As required by ODCM Section 5.0, a description of changes made to the Entergy fleet Process Control Program (EN-RW-105) shall be included in the ARERR for the period in which the change was made effective.
There were no changes to EN-RW-105, Process Control Program, for the year 2016.
ODCM MONITORS OUT OF SERVICE There was one radiation monitor (radmonitor) out-of-service for greater than 30 days which requires reporting with the ARERR. See below for details.
On December 26, 2015, SPING-4 (ANO-1 Emergency Piping Penetration Room Ventilation Radmonitor) noble gas channels (Channels 5, 7, and 9) were declared out-of-service due to spurious alarms (reference CR-ANO-C-05096). Parts for repair of SPING-4 are obsolete and require refurbishment to repair Channel 5. In this instance, the SPING was thoroughly checked and returned to Chemistry to place back in-service. SPING-4 is considered an applicable 14
ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 radiation monitor due to the auto-start function of the ventilation fans in the event pressure within the room gets too high. SPING-4 was returned to service on February 2, 2016. During the out-of-service time from December 26, 2015, to February 2, 2016, the SPING-4 ventilation fan ran for ~5.50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> for maintenance run of the fan. This time period is the only time gaseous effluents were being released via this pathway. Alternate sampling apparatus was installed during release via this pathway to ensure effluents being released were within federal limits. There were no samples during this period that indicated release of any radioactive effluents. Currently, ANO is upgrading the ventilation stack monitors, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2018 to reduce out-of-service time for all stack monitors. (reference CR-ANO-1-2016-00363, for monitors out-of-service > 30 days.)
OUTSIDE TEMPORARY TANKS There were no temporary tanks utilized in 2016 for the purpose of storing liquid radwaste.
MAJOR CHANGES TO RADIOACIVE WASTE SYSTEMS There were no major changes to radioactive waste systems in 2016.
ABNORMAL RADIOLOGICAL RELEASES There were no abnormal (e.g. unplanned) releases for ANO-1 or ANO-2 in 2016.
ERRATA/CORRECTIONS TO PREVIOUS ARERRs No prior corrections are required.
LLD LEVELS In accordance with ODCM, Appendix 1, lower limits of detection (LLDs) higher than required shall be documented in the ARERR:
During 2016, there were no LLDs higher than required by the ODCM.

ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 Appendix A Effluent and Radioactive Waste Data 16
ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 REGULATORY LIMITS FOR RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS The ODCM contains the limits to which ANO must adhere. Because of the "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA) philosophy at ANO, actions are taken to reduce the amount of radiation released to the environment. Liquid and gaseous release data show that the dose from both ANO-1&2 is considerably below the ODCM limits. This data reveals that the radioactive effluents have an overall minimal dose contribution to the surrounding environment.
The following are the limits required by the ODCM:
A. Gaseous Effluents
- 1. Dose rate due to radioactive materials released in gaseous effluent to unrestricted areas shall be limited to the following:
- a. Noble gases Less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body Less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin
- b. Iodine-131, tritium, and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days Less than or equal to 1500 mrem/yr to any organ
- 2. Dose - Noble Gases Quarterly Less than or equal to 5 mrads gamma Less than or equal to 10 mrads beta Yearly Less than or equal to 10 mrads gamma Less than or equal to 20 mrads beta
- 3. Dose - Iodine-131, Tritium, and Radionuclides in Particulate Form Quarterly Less than or equal to 7.5 mrem to any organ Yearly Less than or equal to 15 mrem to any organ 17
ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 B. Liquid Effluents
- 1. Concentration The concentration of radioactive material released to the discharge canal shall be limited to the concentration specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2, for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the total concentration released shall be limited to 2.0E-4 microcuries/ml.
- 2. Dose Quarterly Less than or equal to 1.5 mrem total body Less than or equal to 5 mrem critical organ Yearly Less than or equal to 3 mrem total body Less than or equal to 10 mrem critical organ MEASUREMENTS APPROXIMATIONS OF TOTAL ACTIVITY IN RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS As required by NRC Regulatory Guide 1.21, this section describes the methods used to measure the total radioactivity in effluent releases and to estimate the overall errors associated with these measurements.
A. GASEUOUS EFFLUENTS ANO continuously releases gases and other activation products through a total of ten ventilation pathways. There are additional Waste Gas tanks that allow for further decay of high activity short-lived gases. Weekly a release permit is generated for the prior weeks release through the ventilation pathways as a batch release. This is done due to a known volume of gases. Primarily tritium is released continuously, while the remaining contributors, (i.e. fission gases, radioiodines, particulates) are normally only released for such activities as a refueling outage or plant transients.
I. FISSION AND ACTIVATION GASES Samples are obtained from each of the ten plant radiation monitors (SPINGs) which continuously monitor the ventilation exhaust points. The fission and activation gases are quantified by gamma spectroscopy analysis of periodic samples. The summary values reported are the sums of all fission and activation gases quantified at all monitored release points.
18
ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 II. RADIOIODINES Samples are obtained from each of the ten plant radiation monitors (SPINGs) which continuously monitor the ten ventilation exhaust points. The radioiodines are entrained on charcoal and then quantified by gamma spectroscopy analysis. For each sample, the duration of sampling and continuous flow rate through the charcoal are used in determining the concentration of radioiodines. From the flow rate of the ventilation system, a rate of release can be determined. The summary values reported are the sums of all radioiodines quantified at all monitored release points.
III. PARTICULATES Samples are obtained from each of the ten plant effluent radiation monitors (SPINGs) which continuously monitor the ten ventilation exhaust points. The particulates are collected on a filter and then quantified by gamma spectroscopy analysis. For each sample, the duration of sampling and the continuous flow rate through the filter are used in determining the concentration of particulates. From the flow rate of the ventilation system, a rate of release can be determined. Quarterly, the filters from each ventilation release point are composited and then radiochemically separated and analyzed for strontium (Sr)-89/90 and iron (Fe)-55. The summary values reported are the sums of all particulates quantified at all monitored release points.
IV. TRITIUM Samples are obtained from each of the ten plant effluent radiation monitors (SPINGs) which continuously monitor the ten ventilation exhaust points. The sample is passed a calcium chloride desiccant. The sample is then distilled and the water collected is analyzed for tritium using liquid scintillation counting techniques. For each sample, the duration of sample and sample flow rate is used to determine the concentration. From the flow rate of the ventilation system, a release rate can be determined. The summary values reported are the sums of all tritium quantified at all monitored release points.
V. GROSS ALPHA The gaseous particulate samples are collected and sent to Teledyne for gross alpha analysis. Permits are updated accordingly in the presence of gross alpha.
VI. CARBON-14 Carbon-14 releases are calculated using a method published by the Electric Power Research Institute in December 2010. Plant rated thermal power and monthly capacity factors were used in the calculation of quarterly releases. Release rates are calculated using the total curies divided by total seconds in each applicable quarter.
19
ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 B. LIQUID EFFLUENTS The liquid radwaste processing system and the liquid effluent monitoring system are described in ANO-1&2 Safety Analysis Report (SAR). Most liquid releases are performed as batch release. Gamma spec and tritium samples are analyzed prior to the release to quantify the release.
There are two continuous release streams, Unit 1&2 Turbine Building Sump are sampled daily for gamma spec and tritium daily. A weekly release is performed for these release streams.
C. STATISTICAL MEASURMENT UNCERTAINTIES The statistical uncertainty of the measurements in this section have been estimated, calculated using the square root of the sum of the squares for estimates in each area and summarized in the following table:
Measurement Type Sample Type One Sigma Uncertainty Fission and Activation Gases Gaseous 24%
Radioiodines Gaseous 20%
Particulates Gaseous 22%
Tritium Gaseous 21%
Gross Alpha Gaseous 31%
Fission and Activation Products Liquid 21%
Tritium Liquid 12%
Gross Alpha Liquid 27%
Volume of Waste Release Liquid 8%
Volume of Dilution Water Liquid 10%
LIQUID RELEASES As required by Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 1, Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants, a summary of data for liquid and gas releases is provided in the ARERR.
Calculated offsite doses are compared with Nuclear Regulatory Commission limits, and these limits are summarized in Appendix A. Appendix A also contains a detailed discussion of the methods used to determine quantities of radioactivity released in effluents, the types of solid radioactive waste shipped offsite, as well as tables of individual radionuclides released in effluents and shipped as solid radioactive waste.
The summary of liquid and gaseous effluents for both ANO-1&2 is as follows.

SUMMARY
As required by Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 1, a summary of data for solid wastes shipped offsite is provided in the ARERR.
ANO-1&2 complies with the extensive federal regulations which govern radioactive waste shipments. Radioactive solid waste shipments from the ANO-1&2 site consist of waste generated during water treatment, radioactive trash, irradiated components, etc. Shipment destinations are either a licensed burial site or intermediate processing facilities. Waste shipped to intermediate processing facilities is shipped directly from these facilities to a licensed burial site after processing. The following tables contain estimates of major nuclide composition, by class of waste, of ANO-1&2 radwaste shipped offsite in 2016. The waste volumes shown in these tables are the volumes shipped, not the final volumes sent for burial after processing.

ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 RADIOACTIVE GROUND WATER MONITORING PROGRAM (RGWMP) DATA NEI 07-07, Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative - Final Guidance Document, Objective 2.4, Annual Reporting, requires documentation of all on-site ground water sample results and a description of any significant on-site leaks/spills into ground water for each calendar year in the ARERR as contained in the appropriate reporting procedure.
A. NEI 07-07, Objective 2.4, Annual Reporting, Acceptance Criteria b.i, requires that ground water sample results that are taken in support of the Ground Water Protection Initiative (GPI) but are not part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) (e.g. samples obtained during the investigatory phase of the action plan) are reported in the ARERR. Additionally, Entergys procedure EN-CY-111, Radiological Ground Water Monitoring Program, Step 5.15[3] requires that a listing of non-REMP wells and a summary of pertinent sample results from the Radiological Ground Water Monitoring Program (RGWMP) are reported in the ARERR and an estimate of the doses to a member of the public associated with off-site releases of licensed radioactive material via ground water is included in the ARERR.
In 2016, there were no non-REMP designated ground water wells installed at ANO.
There were no new REMP designated ground water wells installed in 2016. There were four previously installed (prior to 2010) REMP designated ground water wells. The results of the samples collected from the REMP designated ground water wells are included in the 2016 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) as required by NEI 07-07.
ANO did not show any positive results during storm water sampling activities in 2016.
B. NEI 07-07, Objective 2.4, Acceptance Criteria c.ii, requires that a description of all spills or leaks that were communicated per NEI 07-07, Objective 2.2, Voluntary Communication, be included in the ARERR. Additionally, Entergys procedure EN-RP-113, Response to Contaminated Spills/Leaks, requires that the following be included in the ARERR:
- 1. Spills/leaks documented on Attachment 9.1 that was released to the environment or outside the spent fuel pool enclosure, SHALL be documented in the next ARERR.
- 2. The documentation in the ARERR report will contain:
Description of event Impact of event Remediation of event Radioactive contamination content and levels of event Discussion of impact on groundwater, if any 55
ANO-1 & 2 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT REPORT 2016 C. Program Data Analysis Summary:
In 2016, there were no spills/leaks that required communication per NEI 07-07 Objective 2.2 or inclusion in the ARERR per EN-RP-113.
A search of the ANO Corrective Action Program was conducted using radioactive spill(s) as the search criteria. Zero items were found.
Entergys procedure EN-CY-108, Monitoring of Non-Radioactive Systems, requires that verified positive results associated with the sampling of designated nonradioactive or cross-contaminated systems are to be included in the sites ARERR, unless already reported under an existing monitored ODCM release point.
Discussion:
In 2016, there was one ground water sample point, Ground Water Monitoring Well-17 (MW-17), where a positive detection of tritium was found. During routine quarterly sampling of this well a detectable amount of tritium was confirmed by offsite vendor analysis. The increase in tritium in MW-17 is suspected to be atmospheric recapture.
There are no indications of underground piping leaks. The levels indicated below, 553 pCi/L and 412 pCi/L are well below the ODCM requirement of 3000 pCi/L for non-drinking water sources. The tritium minimum detectable activity (MDA) imposed by ANO on offsite vendor analysis is 400 pCi/L. This allows ANO chemistry to closely trend ground water tritium and initiate remediation action quicker if a leak is detected.
All other ground water wells were found to be less than MDA for tritium and gamma emitters.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) provides guidance for making release rate and dose calculations for radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents from Arkansas Nuclear One -
Units 1 and 2 (ANO-1 and ANO-2). The methodology is drawn from NUREG-0133, Rev. 0.
Parameters contained within this manual were taken from NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.109 except as noted for site specific values. These numbers and the calculational method may be changed as provided for in the Technical Specifications (TSs).
The following references are utilized in conjunction with the limitations included in this manual concerning the indicated subjects:
Subject ANO-1 ANO-2 Process Control Program (PCP) EN RW-105 EN RW-105 Radioactive Effluent Controls Program TS 5.5.4 TS 6.5.4 Annual Radiological Environmental Monitoring Report TS 5.6.2 TS 6.6.2 Radioactive Effluent Release Report TS 5.6.3 TS 6.6.3 ODCM TS 5.5.1 TS 6.5.1 2.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS 2.1 Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitor Setpoint ODCM Limitation L 2.1.1, Radioactive Liquid Effluent Instrumentation, requires that the radioactive liquid effluents be monitored with the alarm/trip setpoints adjusted to ensure that the limits of the radioactive liquid effluent concentration limitations are not exceeded. These concentrations are for the site. The alarm/trip setpoint on the liquid effluent monitor is dependent upon the dilution water flow rate, radwaste tank flow rate, isotopic composition of the radioactive liquid to be discharged, a gross gamma count of the liquid to be discharged, background count rate of the monitor, and the efficiency of the monitor. Due to the fact that these are variables, an adjustable setpoint is used. The setpoint must be calculated and the monitor setpoint set prior to the release of each batch of radioactive liquid effluents. The following methodology is used for the setpoint determination for the following monitors.
ANO-1: RE-4642 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor ANO-2: 2RE-2330 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor 2RE-4423 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor
- 1) A sample from each tank (batch) to be discharged is obtained and counted for gross gamma (Cs-137 equivalent) and a gamma isotopic analysis is performed.
- 2) A dilution factor (DF) for the tank is calculated based upon the results of the gamma isotopic analysis and the Maximum Permissible Concentration (MPC) of each detected radionuclide.
Revision 27 5
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM DF is calculated as follows:
DF = i(Ci/MPCi) + CTNG/MPCTNG where:
DF = dilution factor; Ci = concentration of isotope i, (µCi/ml);
MPCi = maximum permissible concentration of isotope i, (from 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2 in µCi/ml);
CTNG = total concentration of noble gases (µCi/ml); and MPCTNG = 2 x 10-4 (µCi/ml) per Limitation L 2.3.1.a
- 3) The dilution water flowrate is normally the number of ANO-1 circulating water pumps in operation at the time of release. Each circulating water pump has an approximate flowrate of 191,500 gallons per minute (gpm) (this flowrate may be reduced due to throttling of circulating water pump flow and/or circulating water bay configuration).
However, under specific conditions and under strict controls, lower dilution water flowrates utilizing service water and cooling tower blowdown flowrates may be used.
- 4) The theoretical release rate, Fm, of the tank (batch) to be released is expressed in terms of the dilution water flowrate, such that for each volume of dilution water released, a given volume of liquid radwaste may be combined. This may be expressed as follows:
Fm = DV/DF where:
Fm = theoretical release rate (gpm);
DV = Dilution volume (gpm). When ANO-1 circulating water pumps are running, DV is the number of ANO-1 circulating water pumps in operation multiplied by the approximate flowrate of an ANO-1 circulating water pump (normally 191,500 gpm) or an indicated flow rate. The minimum total flow rate shall be greater than or equal to 100,000 gpm. Otherwise DV is dilution volume provided by service water and cooling tower blowdown flowrate; and DF = dilution factor as calculated in Step 2 above.
Note: In the above equation, the theoretical release rate (Fm) approaches zero as the dilution factor increases. The actual flowrate (FA) will normally be equal to the theoretical release rate for high activity releases. For low activity releases, the theoretical release rate becomes large and may exceed the capacity of the pump discharging the tank. In these cases, the actual release rate may be set to the maximum flowrate of the discharge pump.
- 5) The monitor setpoint is calculated by incorporating the monitor reading prior to starting the release (i.e., background countrate), and a factor which is the amount of increase in the release concentration that would be needed to exceed the radioactive liquid concentration limitation. The monitor setpoint is expressed as follows:
Revision 27 6
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM ML = A*(K*FM/FA) + B where:
ML = monitor setpoint (counts per minute or cpm);
A = allocation fraction for the specific unit. (Typically, these values are set at 0.45, but may be adjusted up or down as needed. However, the total site allocation can not exceed 1.0.)
K = monitor countrate (cpm) expected based on the gross activity of the release (this value is obtained from a graph of activity (µCi/ml) versus output countrate for the monitor (cpm));
FM/FA = number of times the activity would have to increase to exceed the radioactive liquid effluent-concentration limitation; and B = background countrate (cpm) prior to the release.
To permit the computer to calculate the setpoint, an equation for the expected countrate (K) is expressed as follows:
K = Offset
- SASlope where:
Log of the detector response in cpm Slope =
Log of activity concentration in Ci/ml SA = Gross gamma (Cs-137 equivalent) activity for the tank (Ci/ml); and Offset = detector response (cpm) for the minimum detectable sample activity calculated from the calibration data.
Note: I&C personnel use varying concentrations of Cs-137 to determine the response curve; therefore, a Cs-137 equivalent activity must be used to accurately predict the countrate.
Combining terms, the equation for determining the monitor setpoint may be expressed as follows:
ML = A[(Offset
- SASlope)FM/FA] + B 2.2 Liquid Dose Calculation The dose or dose commitment to an individual in the unrestricted area shall be less than or equal to the limits specified in Radioactive Liquid Effluents - Dose Limitations. The dose limits are on a per reactor basis. This value is calculated using the adult as the maximum exposed individual via the aquatic foods (Sport Freshwater Fish) and the potable water pathways.
2.2.1 Dose Calculations for Aquatic Foods The concentrations of radionuclides in aquatic foods are assumed to be directly related to the concentrations in water. The equilibrium ratios between the two concentrations are called bioaccumulation factors.
Revision 27 7
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Two different pathways are calculated for aquatic foods: sport and commercial freshwater fish.
The internal dose d from the consumption of aquatic foods in pathway p to organ j of individuals of age group a from all nuclides i is computed as follows (see Chapter 4 of NUREG-0133 and RG 1.109-12, equation A-3):
dp (r,,a,j) = i[{(1100)(e -itp )(Bi)}(M)(Ua)(F) (Qi)(Daij)]
-1 The total dose from both aquatic food pathways is then:
D(r,,a,j) = dp (r,,a,j)
P where:
r = user-selected distance from the release point to the receptor location, in kilometers.
It may be different from the controlling distance specified for the potable water pathway (0.4 km);
= user-selected sector (one of sixteen 22.5° sectors surrounding the reactor site, designated N, NNE, NE, etc.). This sector may be different from the controlling sector specified for the potable water pathway (S);
A = user-selected age group: infant, child, teen, adult. It is the same controlling age group used in the potable water pathway (adult);
J = user-selected organ: bone, liver, total body, thyroid, kidney, lung, GI-LLI. It is the same controlling organ used in the potable water pathway (liver);
{} = represents the concentration factor stored in the database; Note: Only one concentration factor is needed to represent the two pathways since sport and commercial use the same bioaccumulation factor for a given pathway.
1100 = factor to convert from (Ci/yr)/(ft3/sec) to Ci/liter; i = decay constant of nuclide i in hr-1; tp = environmental transit time, release to receptor; Note: This value should be set to 0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> (i.e., no decay correction) for the above equation in order to be consistent with the equation presented in Chapter 4 of NUREG-0133. For maximum individual dose calculations, this value is set to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, which is the minimum transit time recommended by RG 1.109, Appendix A, 2.b.
Bi = bioaccumulation factor for nuclide i, in Ci/kg per Ci/liter. Cesium has a site specific number based on carnivorous and bottom feeder sport fish of 400 Ci/kg per Ci/liter (0CAN048408, dated April 13, 1984); Niobium has a site specific number based upon freshwater fish of 300 Ci/kg per Ci/liter.
M = dimensionless mixing ratio (reciprocal of the dilution factor) at the point of exposure; Revision 27 8
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Ua = annual usage factor that specifies the intake rate for an individual of age group a, in kilograms/year. The program selects this usage factor in accordance with the controlling age group a as specified previously by the user; F = average flow rate in ft3/sec. This value is based on total dilution volume for the quarter divided by time into the quarter; Qi = number of curies of nuclide i released; and Daij = ingestion dose factor for age group a, nuclide i, and organ j, in mrem per Ci ingested. The program selects the ingestion dose factor according to the user-specified controlling age group a and controlling organ j.
2.2.2 Dose Calculations for Potable Water The dose D from ingestion of water to organ j of individuals of age group a due to all nuclides i is calculated as follows (See Chapter 4 of NUREG-0133 and NRC RG 1.109-12, equation A-2):
Note: The potable water pathway is used only during the time that the Russellville Water System is using the Arkansas River as a water source. The Russellville Water Works will notify ANO when they are using the Arkansas River as a water source.
D (r,,a,j) = i [{(1100)(e -itp )}(M)(Ua)(F )(Qi)(Daij)]
-1 where:
r = user-selected distance (0.4 km) from the release point to the receptor location, in kilometers. It may be different from the controlling distance selected for the aquatic food pathway;
= user-selected sector; (one of the sixteen 22.5° sectors surrounding the reactor site, designated N, NNE, NE, etc.). It may be different from the controlling sector for the aquatic food pathway; a = user-selected age group (infant, child, teen, adult). The same controlling age group is used for all liquid pathways (adult);
j = user-selected organ (bone, liver, total body, thyroid, kidney, lung, GI-LLI). The same controlling organ is used for all liquid pathways (liver).
{} = the expression in brackets represents the concentration factor stored in the database; 1100 = factor to convert from (Ci/yr)/(ft3/sec) to Ci/liter; M = dimensionless mixing ratio (reciprocal of the dilution factor) at the point of exposure; i = decay constant of nuclide i in hr-1; and tp = environmental transit time, release to receptor.
Note: This value is set to 0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> (i.e., no decay correction) for the above equation to be consistent with the equation presented in Chapter 4 of NUREG-0133.
Revision 27 9
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Ua = annual usage factor that specifies the intake rate for an individual of age group a, in liters/year. The program selects this usage factor according to the user-specified controlling age group a; F = average flow rate in ft3/sec; this value is based on total dilution volume for one quarter divided by time into the quarter; Qi = number of curies of nuclide i in the release; and Daij = ingestion dose factor, for age group a, nuclide i, and organ j, in mrem per Ci ingested. The program selects the ingestion dose factor according to the user-specified controlling age group a and controlling organ j.
2.3 Liquid Projected Dose Calculation The quarterly projected dose is based upon the methodology of Section 2.2 and is expressed as follows:
DQP = 92(DQC + DRP)/T where:
DQP = quarterly projected dose (mrem);
92 = number of days per quarter; DQC = cumulative dose for the quarter (mrem);
DRP = dose for current release (mrem); and T = current days into quarter; 3.0 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS 3.1 Gaseous Monitor Setpoints Note: Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 below detail two methods of calculating setpoints at ANO.
These methods cover two different sets of monitors of which only one will be in-service at any one time.
3.1.1 Batch Release Setpoint Calculations 3.1.1.a This section applies to the following gaseous radiation monitors (these releases are also monitored by the SPING monitors in Section 3.1.2):
ANO-1: RE-4830 - Waste Gas Holdup System Monitor*
RX-9820 - Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation SPING ANO-2: 2RE-8233 - Containment Building Purge Monitor*
2RE-2429 - Waste Gas Holdup System Monitor*
2RX-9820 - Containment Building Purge and Ventilation SPING
- These monitors provide automatic isolation.
Revision 27 10
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM The setpoints to be used during a batch type of release (i.e., Reactor Building
[Containment] Purge, release from the Waste Gas Holdup System or any other non-routine release) will be calculated for each release before it occurs.
3.1.1.b The basic methodology for determining a monitor setpoint is based upon the expected concentration at the monitor (CM). This is in turn based upon the fraction of an MPC assigned to this release point. Batch releases are maintained below the assigned MPC fraction by controlling the release rate. The calculated value of S may not exceed the equivalent of 1 MPC at site boundary. If value of S for RX (2RX) -9820 is less than SPING Channel 5 high alarm setpoint, then the high alarm setpoint may be used as a default value. If the value of S for RE-4830 and 2RE-2429 is less than 50,000 cpm, then 50,000 cpm may be used as a minimum setpoint. If the value of S for 2RE-8233 is less than 1,000 cpm, then 1,000 cpm may be used as a minimum setpoint.
S = 1.2(CM)(K) + (2.0)(B) where:
S = monitor setpoint (cpm);
CM = Xe-133 equivalent concentration at the monitor (Ci/ml);
K = conversion factor determined from response curve of monitor (cpm per Ci/ml). This value is 1.0 when calculating S for RX (2RX) -9820.
2.0 = factor to accommodate random count rate fluctuations; B = background count rate at the monitor (cpm).
1.2 = Safety Factor to correct for instrument uncertainties.
3.1.2 Eberline SPING (Final Effluent) Monitor Setpoint Calculations 3.1.2.a This section applies to the following gaseous radiation monitors:
ANO-1: RX-9820 - Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation SPING RX-9825 - Auxiliary Building Ventilation SPING RX-9830 - Spent Fuel Pool Area Ventilation SPING RX-9835 - Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation SPING ANO-2: 2RX-9820 - Containment Building Purge and Ventilation SPING 2RX-9825 - Auxiliary Building Ventilation SPING 2RX-9830 - Spent Fuel Pool Area Ventilation SPING 2RX-9835 - Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation SPING 2RX-9845 - Auxiliary Building Extension Ventilation SPING 2RX-9850 - Radwaste Storage Building Ventilation SPING The determination of setpoints for the above monitors is based on an assigned fraction of the MPC of noble gas activity at the site boundary (Xe-133 equivalent) released from the above release points. The total of these fractions is always less than 1.00. The assigned fractions are based on the vent flow rates, atmospheric dilution rate, and the ventilation system(s) in operation.
Revision 27 11
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Note: The fact that an effluent monitor is in alarm does not necessarily mean that radioactive gases are being released at such a rate that the MPC limit is being exceeded. The alarm would indicate that radioactive gases are being released at a rate that is exceeding the fractional allocation of an MPC allotted to that particular release point. Consideration must be given to the release rate of radioactive gases via all of the release pathways.
The initial fractions of an MPC allocated to the release points are given below. The allocations may be changed as needed, to allow for operational transients, but may not exceed a site total of 1.00.

[Containment] Purge or Waste Gas Holdup System) will be calculated for each release before it occurs.
3.1.2.b SPING monitor setpoints may be calculated as follows:
Xe-133 eq (µCi/cc)
Setpoint (Ci/cc) =A F(9.4390E-9)(TMPC) where:
A = allocation fraction (the fraction of an MPC at the site boundary (of noble gas Xe-133 eq activity) assigned to the particular release point);
Xe-133 eq = Xenon-133 equivalent concentration; F = discharge flow of the particular release point in cubic feet per minute (cfm) 2.0E-5(sec/m3) 9.4390E-9 = 2.8317E-2(cm/cf) 60(sec/min)
Revision 27 12
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM where:
2.0E-5 = the annual average gaseous dispersion factor (corrected for radioactive decay) as defined in Section 2.3 of the ANO-1/ANO-2 Safety Analysis Report (SAR); and TMPC = total MPCs at site boundary.
3.2 Airborne Release Dose Rate Effects 3.2.1 Noble Gas Release Rate 3.2.1.a To calculate the noble gas release dose rate, the average ground-level concentration of radionuclide i at the receptor location must first be determined from the following equation (see RG 1.109-20 equation B-4).
xi () = (3.17 x 104)(Qi)[D1X/Q()]
where:
xi () = average ground level concentration in Ci/m3 of nuclide i at the user-specified controlling distance in sector (1.05 km);
() = one of the sixteen 22.5° sectors surrounding the reactor site, designated N, NNE, NE, etc. (WNW);
3.17 x 104 = number of Ci per Ci divided by the number of seconds/year; Qi = release rate of nuclide i in curies/yr and D1X/Q() = annual average gaseous dispersion factor (corrected for radioactive decay) in the sector at angle at the receptor location in sec/m3. This value is 2.0E-5 sec/m3 for short term releases.
The annual dose to the total body and skin due to noble gas can be calculated according to Sections 3.1.2.b and 3.2.1.c.
3.2.1.b Annual Total Body Dose Rate The annual average total body dose rate to the maximally exposed individual is calculated as follows:
DT() = (RBPF)(SF)(i [xi()
- DFBi]
where:
DT() = total body dose rate due to immersion in a semi-infinite cloud of gas at the controlling distance in sector , in mrem/yr. The program computes one total body dose rate value for each sector in which the user has specified a controlling distance and reports only the maximum value;
= one of sixteen 22.5° sectors surrounding the reactor site, designated N, NNE, NE, etc. (WNW);
Revision 27 13
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM RBPF = Reactor Building (Containment) Purge Factor - This factor is used to calculate the length of time (fractional duty cycle) that the purge fans will be in operation. It is calculated by comparing the highest dose rate (DOSER) to its applicable release limit, taking into account the allocation factor for the release point (RBPF = Allocation

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM The only contributions relevant to fishing activities at the discharge canal are ground plane deposition and inhalation. As DG and DI are not independently available, a conservative estimate can be obtained by using the same correction factor developed for noble gas dose to the total dose calculated in Section 3.4 for iodine, tritium and particulates. Depletion of the plume as it travels downwind can be ignored since the fraction remaining in the plume at 100 meters (discharge canal) and 1046 meters (site boundary) are both greater than 90%
according to Figure 3 of RG 1.111.
The only activity inside the plant site by members of the public that might contribute a significant dose is fishing along the banks of the discharge canal. Travel along public roads would involve short exposure time and tours of the facility are conducted according to radiological control procedures enforced at the plant to control exposure. Fishing is the only uncontrolled activity.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING STATIONS - RADIOLOGICAL Section 1.0 of the ODCM provides reference to the Radioactivty Effluent Controls Program governed by ANO-1 TS 5.5.4 and ANO-2 TS 6.5.4.

- 1. Monitoring, sampling, analysis, and reporting of radiation and radionuclides in the environment in accordance with the methodology and parameters of the ODCM,
- 2. A land use census to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the site boundary are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made, if required by the results of the census, and
- 3. Participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive materials in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environmental monitoring.
Environmental samples are collected as specified in the Limitations. The approximate locations of selected sample sites are shown on Figures 4-1, 4-1A, and 4-1B for illustrative purposes.
Table 4-1 lists the approximate distances and directions of the sample stations from the plant.

Revision 27 72
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.0 LIMITITATION (L) APPLICABILITY BASES Limitations L 2.0.1 through L 2.0.5 establish the general requirements applicable to all Limitations and apply at all times, unless otherwise stated.
B 2.0.1 L 2.0.1 establishes the Applicability statement within each individual Limitation as the requirement for when the Limitation is required to be met (i.e., when the unit is in the MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability statement of each Limitation).
B 2.0.2 L 2.0.2 establishes that upon discovery of a failure to meet a Limitation, the associated ACTIONS shall be met. The Completion Time of each Required Action for an ACTIONS Condition is applicable from the point in time that an ACTIONS Condition is entered. The Required Actions establish those remedial measures that must be taken within specified Completion Times when the requirements of a Limitation are not met. This Limitation establishes that:
- a. Completion of the Required Actions within the specified Completion Times constitutes compliance with a Limitation; and
- b. Completion of the Required Actions is not required when a Limitation is met within the specified Completion Time, unless otherwise specified.
Completing the Required Actions is not required when a Limitation is no longer applicable, unless otherwise stated in the individual Specification.
B 2.0.3 L 2.0.3 establishes the Required Actions that must be implemented when a Limitation is not met and the condition is not specifically addressed by the associated Conditions. It is not intended to be used as an operational convenience that permits routine voluntary removal of redundant systems or components from service in lieu of other alternatives that would not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable. This requirement is intended to provide assurance that plant management is aware of the condition and to ensure that the condition is evaluated for its affect on continued operation of the plant.
B 2.0.4 L 2.0.4 establishes Limitations on changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when a Limitation is not met. It allows placing the unit in a MODE or other specified condition stated in that Applicability (e.g., the Applicability desired to be entered) when unit conditions are such that the requirements of the Limitation would not be met, in accordance with Limitation L 2.0.4.a, L 2.0.4.b, or L 2.0.4.c.
Revision 27 73
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM BASES LIMITATION APPLICABILITY (continued)
B 2.0.4 L 2.0.4 allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the (continued) Applicability with the Limitation not met when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time. Compliance with Required Actions that permit continued operation of the unit for an unlimited period of time in a MODE or other specified condition provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation. This is without regard to the status of the unit before or after the MODE change. Therefore, in such cases, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability may be made in accordance with the provisions of the Required Actions. The provisions of this Limitation should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to FUNCTIONAL status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.
Upon entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the Limitation not met, L 2.0.1 and L 2.0.2 require entry into the applicable Conditions and Required Actions until the Condition is resolved, until the Limitation is met, or until the unit is not within the Applicability of the Limitation.
Surveillances do not have to be performed on the associated inoperable equipment (or on variables outside the specified limits), as permitted by S 2.0.1.
Therefore, utilizing L 2.0.4 is not a violation of S 2.0.1 or S 2.0.4 for any Surveillances that have not been performed on equipment. However, Surveillances must be met to ensure FUNCTIONALITY prior to declaring the associated equipment FUNCTIONAL (or variable within limits) and restoring compliance with the affected Limitation.
B 2.0.5 L 2.0.5 establishes the allowance for restoring equipment to service under administrative controls when it has been removed from service or declared non-functional to comply with ACTIONS. The sole purpose of this Limitation is to provide an exception to L 2.0.2 (e.g., to not comply with the applicable Required Actions) to allow the performance of required testing to demonstrate:
- a. The FUNCTIONALITY of the equipment being returned to service; or
- b. The FUNCTIONALITY of other equipment.
The administrative controls ensure the time the equipment is returned to service in conflict with the requirements of the ACTIONS is limited to the time absolutely necessary to perform the required testing to demonstrate FUNCTIONALITY.
This Limitation does not provide time to perform any other preventive or corrective maintenance.
An example of demonstrating the FUNCTIONALITY of the equipment being returned to service is restarting a ventilation system that has been secured to comply with Required Actions and must be restarted to perform the required testing.
Revision 27 74
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.0 SURVEILLANCE (S) APPLICABILITY BASES S 2.0.1 SRs shall be met during the MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for individual Limitations, unless otherwise stated in the individual Surveillance. Failure to meet a Surveillance, whether such failure is experienced during the performance of the Surveillance or between performances of the Surveillance, shall be failure to meet the Limitation. Failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency shall be failure to meet the Limitation except as provided in S 2.0.3. Surveillances are not required to be performed on non-functional equipment or variables outside specified limits.
S 2.0.2 The specified Frequency for each Surveillance is met if the Surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency, as measured from the previous performance or as measured from the time a specified condition of the Frequency is met.
For Frequencies specified as "once," the above interval extension does not apply.
If a Completion Time requires periodic performance on a "once per . . ." basis, the above Frequency extension applies to each performance after the initial performance.
Exceptions to this Limitation are stated in the individual Limitations.
S 2.0.3 If it is discovered that a Surveillance was not performed within its specified Frequency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the Limitation not met may be delayed, from the time of discovery, up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit of the specified Frequency, whichever is greater. This delay period is permitted to allow performance of the Surveillance.
If the Surveillance is not performed within the delay period, the Limitation must immediately be declared not met, and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered.
When the Surveillance is performed within the delay period and the Surveillance is not met, the Limitation must immediately be declared not met, and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered.
S 2.0.4 Entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of a Limitation shall only be made when the Limitation's Surveillances have been met within their specified Frequency, except as provided by S 2.0.3. When a Limitation is not met due to Surveillances not having been met, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability shall only be made in accordance with L 2.0.4.
Revision 27 75
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.1 RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION BASES BACKGROUND The Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases.
LIMITATION The following Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is required to be FUNCTIONAL:
ANO-1: RE-4642 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor RE-2682 - A Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor RE-2681 - B Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor ANO-2: 2RE-2330 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor 2RE-4423 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor Both radiation monitoring and flow monitoring capability are required to be FUNCTIONAL for each Liquid Radwaste Monitor. With regard to Liquid Radwaste radiation monitoring, the alarm/trip function must also be FUNCTIONAL. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments are calculated in accordance with the methods contained in ODCM Section 2.1 to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to potentially exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.
With regard to the Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors, these monitors must have a measurement range capability from 10-1 mR/hr to 104 mR/hr.
APPLICABILITY The Liquid Radwaste Monitors are required to be FUNCTIONAL during any release via the pathway in which the monitor is installed. The Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors are required to be FUNCTIONAL in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.
ACTIONS The following ACTIONS are generally applicable to the pathway in which a radioactive liquid release is in progress. Because more than one release could occur simultaneously, the ACTIONS are modified by a Note that permits separate Condition entry for each non-functional Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrument.
Revision 27 76
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.1 ACTIONS (continued)
A.1 If the radiation monitoring feature of the Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrument is non-functional, any release via the associated pathway must be suspended immediately. This prevents the release of unmonitored effluents to the environment.
A.2.1 In addition to Required Action A.1, a non-functional radiation monitoring feature of a Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrument must be returned to a FUNCTIONAL status prior to the restart or subsequent release of effluents via the associated pathway. This prevents the release of unmonitored effluents to the environment. Exceptions to this requirement are included in Required Actions A.2.2.1 through A.2.2.3 below.
A.2.2.1 through A.2.2.3 In lieu of performing Required Action A.2.1 above, grab samples may be obtained and analyzed to provide a backup monitoring method for the effluent release. Because of the importance of monitoring radioactive liquid releases, two independent samples of the effluent must be obtained and analyzed. The independency required is with regard to obtaining and analyzing each sample separately. Two independent personnel are not required to obtain and analyze the two samples.
Notwithstanding the above, computer input data and the discharge valve lineup associated with the effluent release path must be verified by two independent, qualified individuals.
Integrity of independence is maintained by preventing interaction between personnel during the verification process. With regard to valve lineups, independent verification is conducted such that each check constitutes actual identification of the valve and a determination of both required and actual valve position.
B.1 and B.2 If the flow monitoring feature of the Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrument is non-functional, the flow rate may be estimated within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of initial loss of the instrument and every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> thereafter, for the duration of the effluent release. Flow rate data is necessary to calculate the amount of radioactive released via the effluent discharge. The 4-hour Completion Time is reasonable because a significant change in flow rate over the course of an effluent release is unlikely.
S 2.0.2 is not applicable to the initial flow estimation, but may be applied to the flow estimations thereafter. Pump curves may be used to estimate flow.
Revision 27 77
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.1 ACTIONS (continued)
C.1 If one or more Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors is non-functional, the pre-planned alternate monitoring method of monitoring must be established within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. The alternate method chosen should ensure continued monitoring of the Main Steam system for radiation while operating in MODES 1, 2, 3, or 4. In addition, the affected monitor(s) must be restored to a FUNCTIONAL status within 7 days.
D.1 If the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Conditions A, B, and/or C cannot be met, then additional measures may be necessary to ensure continued safe operation or to reduce overall station risk. Therefore, a condition report must be initiated immediately to assess the impact on continued effluent release operations given the degraded condition.
E.1 Instrumentation installed to ensure radiological monitoring of effluent releases is expected to be normally available in accordance with the design function or purpose of the equipment.
During releases via a respective pathway, instrumentation that remains non-functional for greater than 30 days may indicate inappropriate importance placed on the equipment or over-reliance on the backup sampling method for effluent release monitoring. As an incentive to avoid either of these conditions, Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation that remains non-functional for more than 30 days must be included in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report submitted pursuant to TS 5.6.3 (ANO-1) or TS 6.6.3 (ANO-2). In order to ensure inclusion, Required Action E.1 requires the condition to be tracked via a condition report.
Information to be provided in the respective Radioactive Effluent Release Report should include 1) the component number and noun name, 2) the failure mode, 3) the reason for continued inoperability, and 4) the expected return to service date.
SURVEILLANCES S 2.1.1.1 Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provides reasonable assurance for prompt identification of a gross failure of instrumentation. A CHANNEL CHECK is normally a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other channels. Where parameter comparison is not possible, the CHANNEL CHECK will continue to identify gross instrument failure such as loss of power, unexpected upscale readings, failed-low indications, etc. The CHANNEL CHECK is key in verifying that the instrumentation continues to operate properly between CHANNEL CALIBRATIONs. The Frequency is based on unit operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is rare.
Revision 27 78
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.1 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.1.1.2 A CHANNEL TEST is performed on the radiation monitoring portion of each required instrument channel to ensure the entire channel will perform the intended functions. The CHANNEL TEST demonstrates that automatic isolation of the associated pathway and Control Room alarm occur should the instrument indicate measured levels above the trip setpoint.
The channel test also demonstrates that alarm occurs when any of the following conditions exist:
A. Power to the detector is lost.
B. The instrument indicates a downscale failure.
C. Instrument controls are not set in the operate mode.
Any setpoint adjustment shall be consistent with Section 2.1 of the ODCM.
The Surveillance is modified by a Note clarifying that the CHANNEL TEST is applicable only to the radiation detection portion of the monitor function and is not applicable to the flow monitoring function. The Frequency of 92 days is based on unit operating experience, with regard to channel FUNCTIONALITY and drift, which demonstrates that failure of a channel in any 92-day interval is a rare event, especially in light of the infrequency of radioactive liquid releases.
S 2.1.1.3 CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument channel, including the sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to a measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy. CHANNEL CALIBRATION leaves the channel adjusted to account for instrument drift (as required) to ensure that the instrument channel remains FUNCTIONAL between successive tests. CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall find that measurement errors and setpoint errors are within the assumptions of the setpoint calculations. CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS must be performed consistent with the assumptions of the setpoint calculations. This Frequency is justified by the assumption of at least an 18 month calibration interval to determine the magnitude of equipment drift or deviation in the setpoint calculations.
Initial CHANNEL CALIBRATION is performed using one or more of the reference standards certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or using standards that have been obtained from suppliers that participate in measurement assurance activities with NIST. These standards permit calibrating the system over its intended range of energy and measurement range. For subsequent CHANNEL CALIBRATION, sources that have been related to the initial calibration are used.
Revision 27 79
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.1 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.1.1.4 A SOURCE CHECK provides a qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel sensor is exposed to the radioactive source. This check is performed within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> prior to release of effluent via the associated flow path. When a SOURCE CHECK can be performed, it provides verification that the sensor will respond to an increase in radiation level. Note 1, however, does not require a SOURCE CHECK when the background radiation at the sensor is greater than the check source. This is acceptable because of the other required tests above (CHANNEL CHECK, CHANNEL TEST, CHANNEL CALIBRATION). The 8-hour restriction is reasonable because it is unlikely that the sensor will unexpectedly fail in any 8-hour period.
Note 2 provides clarification that the SOURCE CHECK applies only to the radiation detection portion of the Liquid Radwaste Monitor and is not applicable to the flow monitor portion or to the Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors.
Revision 27 80
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.2 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION BASES BACKGROUND The Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases.
LIMITATION The following Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is required to be FUNCTIONAL:
NOTE-------------------------------------------------------
Refer to ANO-2 Technical Specification (TS) 3.3.3.1 for ANO-2 Containment Building Purge System Process Monitor (2RE-8233) operability requirements and associated ACTIONS.
ANO-1: RE-4830 - Waste Gas Holdup System Process Monitor*
RX-9820 - Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation SPING RX-9825 - Auxiliary Building Ventilation SPING RX-9830 - Spent Fuel Pool Area Ventilation SPING RX-9835 - Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation SPING ANO-2: 2RE-2429 - Waste Gas Holdup System Process Monitor*
2RX-9820 - Containment Building Purge and Ventilation SPING 2RX-9825 - Auxiliary Building Ventilation SPING 2RX-9830 - Spent Fuel Pool Area Ventilation SPING 2RX-9835 - Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation SPING 2RX-9845 - Auxiliary Building Extension Ventilation SPING 2RX-9850 - Radwaste Storage Building Ventilation SPING
- These monitors provide automatic isolation.
The radiation monitoring (process gas and SPING noble gas) and effluent flow monitoring capability are required to be FUNCTIONAL for each monitor. For SPING monitors the sample flow monitoring, the iodine sample, and the particulate sampler must also be FUNCTIONAL. With regard to Waste Gas Holdup System radiation monitoring, the alarm/trip function must also be FUNCTIONAL. The alarm/trip setpoints for specified instruments are calculated in accordance with the methods contained in ODCM Section 3.1 to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to potentially exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.105. Note that the PURGE function of the ANO-1 and ANO-2 Reactor (Containment) Building is treated separately from the ventilation function.
Performance of a SOURCE CHECK on a given radiation monitor does not require the monitor to be declared non-functional due to the short period of time required to perform this test.
Revision 27 81
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.2 APPLICABILITY The above monitors are required to be FUNCTIONAL during any release via the pathway in which the monitor is installed. Because SPINGs 4 and 8 monitor the Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation of ANO-1 and ANO-2, respectively, and because these ventilation systems are normally aligned for auto-start capability to aid in accident mitigation, these SPINGs must be FUNCTIONAL whenever the associated ventilation system is available for auto-start.
ACTIONS The following ACTIONS are applicable to the pathway in which a radioactive gaseous release is in progress. Because more than one release could occur simultaneously, the ACTIONS are modified by a Note that permits separate Condition entry for each non-functional Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrument.
A.1 If the radiation monitoring feature, including the alarm/trip function for monitors having an automatic isolation feature, of the Waste Gas Holdup or ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation System Gas Activity Process or Noble Gas Activity Monitor(s) is non-functional, any release via the associated pathway must be suspended immediately. This prevents the release of unmonitored effluents to the environment.
A.2.1 In addition to Required Action A.1, a non-functional Waste Gas Holdup or ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation System Gas Activity Process or Noble Gas Activity Monitor, including the alarm/trip function for monitors having an automatic isolation feature, must be returned to a FUNCTIONAL status prior to the restart or subsequent release of effluents via the associated pathway. This prevents the release of unmonitored effluents to the environment. Exceptions to this requirement are included in Required Actions A.2.2.1 through A.2.2.3 below.
A.2.2.1 through A.2.2.3 In lieu of performing Required Action A.2.1 above, grab samples may be obtained and analyzed to provide a backup monitoring method for the effluent release. Because of the importance of monitoring radioactive gaseous releases, two independent samples of the effluent must be obtained and analyzed. The independency required is with regard to obtaining and analyzing each sample separately. Two independent personnel are not required to obtain and analyze the two samples.
Revision 27 82
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.2 ACTIONS (continued)
A.2.2.1 through A.2.2.3 (continued)
Notwithstanding the above, computer input data and the discharge valve lineup associated with the effluent release path must be verified by two independent, qualified individuals.
Integrity of independence is maintained by preventing interaction between personnel during the verification process. With regard to valve lineups, independent verification is conducted such that each check constitutes actual identification of the valve and a determination of both required and actual valve position. Required Action A.2.2.3 is modified by a Note that excepts the valve lineup requirement from the ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation System since no manual valves are manipulated for this release path.
B.1 and B.2 If the flow monitoring features of the Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is non-functional, the flow rate may be estimated within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of initial loss of the instrument and every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> thereafter, for the duration of the effluent release. Flow rate data is necessary to calculate the amount of radioactive released via the effluent discharge.
Therefore, if flow cannot be estimated, it is necessary to suspend the release of radioactive effluents monitored by the affected channel. The 4-hour Completion Time is reasonable because a significant change in flow rate over the course of an effluent release is unlikely.
A Control Room RDACS trouble alarm is received when sample flows are not within predetermined limits (among other SPING conditions). With regard to SPINGs 4 or 8, procedures require a temporary sample pump to be installed when the sample flow channel is non-functional, which may be used to meet Required Action B.1, even if the flow path is in auto-standby status. With the temporary sample pump installed, Required Action D.1 will be met should the flow path auto start. Therefore, as indicated below, Condition D is not required to be considered while the SPING 4 and 8 flow paths are idle.
S 2.0.2 is not applicable to the initial flow estimation, but may be applied to the flow estimations thereafter. Pump curves may be used to estimate flow.
C.1 and C.2 Condition C is modified by two notes. Note 1 omits this Condition from being applicable to the Waste Gas Holdup or ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation System Gas Activity Process or Noble Gas Activity Monitors. These monitors are addressed in Condition A.
Note 2 requires the associated Required Actions and Completion Times of Condition C be applied to SPINGS 4 and 8 (Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation of ANO-1 and ANO-2, respectively) only when the pathway is in service, since noble gas activity sampling and analysis cannot be performed when the pathway is idle.
Revision 27 83
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.2 ACTIONS (continued)
C.1 and C.2 (continued)
With the exception of Waste Gas Holdup System releases or during a PURGE of the ANO-1 Reactor Building, releases may continue via an associated pathway when the Noble Gas Activity Monitor(s) is non-functional, provided a sample of the effluent is obtained once every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and analyzed within the following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This prevents the release of unmonitored effluents to the environment. ACTIONS C.1 and C.2 are modified by a note, referring to ANO-1 TS 3.9.3 for additional ACTIONS that may be necessary if the required ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation System Noble Gas Activity Monitor is inoperable.
S 2.0.2 is not applicable to the initial sample and analysis, but may be applied to the sample and analysis thereafter.
D.1, D.2, and D.2 Condition D is modified by a Note which requires the associated Required Actions and Completion Times of Condition D be applied to SPINGS 4 and 8 (Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation of ANO-1 and ANO-2, respectively) only when the pathway is in service, since iodine and particulate sampling and analysis cannot be performed when the pathway is idle.
If one or more required Iodine and/or Particulate Samplers are non-functional, auxiliary sampling equipment must be established within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. The backup Iodine and Particulate cartridges must be replaced every 7 days.

This prevents the release of unmonitored effluents to the environment.
E.1 If the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Condition C and/or D cannot be met, then releases via the associated pathway must be suspended. This prevents the release of unmonitored effluents to the environment.
F.1 If the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Condition A, B, and/or E cannot be met, then additional measures may be necessary to ensure continued safe operation or to reduce overall station risk. Therefore, a condition report must be initiated immediately to assess the impact on continued effluent release operations given the degraded condition.
Revision 27 84
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.2 ACTIONS (continued)
G.1 Instrumentation installed to ensure radiological monitoring of effluent releases is expected to be normally available in accordance with the design function or purpose of the equipment.
Instrumentation that remains non-functional for greater than 30 days may indicate inappropriate importance placed on the equipment or over-reliance on the backup sampling method for effluent release monitoring. As an incentive to avoid either of these conditions, Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation that remains non-functional for more than 30 days must be included in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report submitted pursuant to TS 5.6.3 (ANO-1) or TS 6.6.3 (ANO-2). In order to ensure inclusion, Required Action G.1 requires the condition to be tracked via a condition report.
Information to be provided in the respective Radioactive Effluent Release Report should include 1) the component number and noun name, 2) the failure mode, 3) the reason for continued inoperability, and 4) the expected return to service date.
SURVEILLANCES S 2.2.1.1 Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provides reasonable assurance for prompt identification of a gross failure of instrumentation.

The Frequency is based on unit operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is rare.
This Surveillance is modified by a Note the exempts the Iodine and Particulate Samplers from a CHANNEL CHECK since these components do not have electronic features or indications.
S 2.2.1.2 A local check must be made every 7 days to verify that required Iodine Sampler cartridges and Particulate Sample filters are in place. The 7-day Frequency is reasonable because it is unlikely a cartridge or filter could be inadvertently removed from the system.
Revision 27 85
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.2 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.2.1.3 and S 2.2.1.6 A CHANNEL TEST is performed on required Gas Activity Process and Noble Gas Activity Monitors to ensure the entire channel will perform the intended functions. For the Waste Gas Holdup and ANO-2 Containment Building Purge Systems, the CHANNEL TEST demonstrates that automatic isolation of the associated pathway and Control Room alarm occur should the instrument indicate measured levels above the trip setpoint. The channel test also demonstrates that alarm occurs when any of the following conditions exist:
A. Power to the detector is lost.
B. The instrument indicates a downscale failure.
C. Instrument controls are not set in the operate mode.
Any setpoint adjustment shall be consistent with Section 3.1 of the ODCM.
Because the alarm/trip function and/or the importance of the release path, a CHANNEL TEST of the associated Gas Activity Process and Noble Gas Activity Monitors is required within 31 days prior to release via the Waste Gas Holdup or ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation Systems. This ensures the monitors are FUNCTIONAL within a reasonable period of time before such a release is commenced. All active pathway Gas Activity Process and Noble Gas Activity Monitors undergo a CHANNEL TEST once every 92 days. This Frequency is reasonable because each has a Control Room alarm function.
S 2.2.1.4 and S 2.2.1.5 A SOURCE CHECK provides a qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel sensor is exposed to the radioactive source. This check is performed within 14 days prior to release of effluent via the Waste Gas Holdup or ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge Systems. The 14-day restriction is reasonable because it is unlikely that the sensor will unexpectedly fail in any 14-day period. All active pathway Gas Activity Process and Noble Gas Activity Monitors must undergo a SOURCE CHECK every 31 days. This Frequency is reasonable because each has a Control Room alarm function.
When a SOURCE CHECK can be performed, it provides verification that the sensor will respond to an increase in radiation level. Note 1 of S 2.2.1.5 and the Note associated with S 2.2.1.4 does not require a SOURCE CHECK when the background radiation at the sensor is greater than the check source. This is acceptable because of the other required tests above (CHANNEL CHECK, CHANNEL TEST, and CHANNEL CALIBRATION).
Revision 27 86

S 2.2.1.7 CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument channel, including the sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to a measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.3 RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENTS BASES BACKGROUND This Limitation is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site to unrestricted areas will be less than the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II. This limit provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will not result in exposures greater than the Section II.A design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC.
LIMITATION The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-133 is the controlling radioisotope and its maximum permissible concentration (MPC) in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.
Radioactive nuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases must be maintained within the limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2 values. The various dose limitations are conservative with regard to 10 CFR 20 requirements in order to provide a margin of safety through the use of as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) practices.
Necessary portions of the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM shall be used to reduce the radioactive materials in liquid waste prior to discharge when it is projected that the cumulative dose during a calendar quarter due to liquid effluent releases would exceed 0.18 mrem to the total body or 0.625 mrem to any organ. The provisions of this Limitation do not apply to the laundry tanks due to their incompatibility with the radwaste system.
The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM are a suitable fraction of the guide set forth in Section II.A of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, for liquid effluents. The values of 0.18 mrem and 0.625 mrem are approximately 25% of the yearly design objectives on a quarterly basis. The yearly design objectives are provided in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, Section II.
APPLICABILITY The Limitations are required to be met at all times.
ACTIONS Because more than one Limitation or Surveillance requirement may not be met at a given time, the ACTIONS are modified by a Note that permits separate Condition entry for each Limitation and/or Surveillance requirement that is not met.
Revision 27 88
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.3 ACTIONS (continued)
A.1 and A.2 If any Limitation L 2.3.1.a through L 2.3.1.e is not met, action must be initiated immediately to restore the parameter within limits. This could require a reduction in offsite releases scheduled for the near future or further processing of effluents prior to release. In any event, a condition report must be initiated to determine whether additional actions are necessary to permit continued operations involving radioactive liquid effluent releases given the current circumstances. In addition, corrective action must be issued to identify and track the Limitation that was exceeded for inclusion in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. However, the condition need not be reported in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report if reported otherwise (i.e., in accordance with reporting requirements of 10 CFR 20, 10 CFR 50.72, 10 CFR 50.73, or 40 CFR 190).
B.1 and B.2 If the sampling and/or analysis requirements of S 2.3.1.1 are not met, the release must be terminated. This action prevents or minimizes the potential for an unmonitored offsite radioactive liquid release. Such release may commence or be re-initiated once the sampling and analysis requirements of S 2.3.1.1 are met. Regardless, a condition report must be initiated to determine whether additional actions are necessary to permit continued operations involving radioactive liquid effluent releases given the current circumstances. If a condition report has already been initiated relevant to this Condition, then this assessment may be performed in conjunction with that condition report; a second condition report is not required.
C.1 and C.2 This ACTION is modified a Note, limiting its applicability to only a CONTINUOUS RELEASE of secondary coolant.
With elevated dose equivalent I-131 (DEI) activity in the secondary coolant, it is prudent to modify the frequencies for obtaining and analyzing grab samples. Therefore, with secondary coolant DEI > 0.01 µCi/ml, sample frequency is modified from once every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to once every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The analysis of the sample must be completed with 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of sample acquisition. More frequent monitoring of the secondary coolant will assist in detecting further increases in activity and provide personnel better opportunity for in developing corrective action plans, as necessary.
Revision 27 89
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.3 ACTIONS (continued)
D.1 In accordance with 40 CFR 190, a variance must be received from the regulatory authority (NRC) if offsite dose to a member of the public will, or has exceeded, limits established in 40 CFR 190. Because Surveillance S 2.3.1.3 tracks the accumulated dose to members of the public over specified time periods (calendar quarter or calendar year), the dose may be projected and a determination made with regard to whether it is likely 40 CFR 190 limits will be exceeded. If 40 CFR 190 limits are projected to be exceeded, an application for a variance from the NRC must be submitted prior to the estimated date in which any 40 CFR 190 limit will be exceeded. The variance will allow continued offsite liquid and gaseous releases in excess of 40 CFR 190 limits. Note that the variance is normally expected to remain in effect until the end of the current calendar year since 40 CFR 190 limits only apply to the calculated annual dose to members of the public.
If application for variance cannot be made prior to exceeding any 40 CFR 190 limit, it may be prudent to notify the NRC by phone as soon as possible of the need for a variance, providing the expected date in which the application will be submitted. Note that the NRC may provide verbal approval for variance in situations where time is a factor.
E.1 If the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Conditions C and/or D cannot be met or if the sampling and/or analysis requirements denoted in Surveillances S 2.3.1.1 and/or S 2.3.1.2 are not met, then additional measures may be necessary to ensure continued safe operation or to reduce overall station risk. Therefore, a condition report must be initiated immediately to assess the impact on continued effluent release operations given the requirements that are not being met.
F.1 Surveillance S 2.3.1.5 establishes required capability of various sample analyses. A given analysis must be capable of detecting respective radioactivity at a reasonably low threshold in order to ensure radioactive liquid releases to the public are carefully and accurately monitored.
If the stated thresholds can not be met, a condition report must be initiated and corrective action issued to ensure the condition is included and described in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
Revision 27 90
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM SURVEILLANCES S 2.3.1.1 and S 2.3.1.2 All radioactive liquid effluent releases are required to be monitored. Because a BATCH RELEASE is of a known quantity and of finite duration, sampling of batch effluents must be performed prior to release. In addition, the sample must undergo a gamma isotopic and DEI analysis prior to the release to provide high confidence that radioactive release limits will not be exceeded. Remaining analyses may then be completed at the designated Frequency during or following the release.
For a BATCH RELEASE, a composite sample, one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen which is representative of the liquids released, is performed.
In order to ensure a representative sample, the batch shall be thoroughly mixed before the sample is obtained.
Unlike the BATCH RELEASE, a CONTINUOUS RELEASE must be monitored at a set Frequency. While gross activity monitoring is available for various release paths as is recommended by Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.21, Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants, such monitoring does not provide the necessary breakdown and quantification of radioactivities being discharged. Therefore, the ODCM requires grab samples and analyses of these effluents at a specified Frequency.
To be representative of the quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, a CONTINUOUS RELEASE sample must be proportional to the rate of flow of the effluent stream.
S 2.3.1.3 Limitation L 2.3.1 establishes limits on radioactive liquid concentrations discharged from the plant and the accumulative dose that may be received by a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC as a result of such releases. In order to determine that these limits are met and being maintained, the results of analyses required by Surveillances S 2.3.1.1 and S 2.3.1.2 must be compared to the Limitation requirements on a specified Frequency. Therefore, analysis results obtained within a given 7-day period must be considered, in some cases along with previous analysis results of all liquid release over a specified period of time (calendar quarter or calendar year),
to ensure limits are not exceeded.
S 2.3.1.4 In accordance with 40 CFR 190, a variance must be received from the regulatory authority (NRC) is offsite dose to a member of the public will, or has exceeded, limits established in 40 CFR 190. Because Surveillance S 2.3.1.3 tracks the accumulated dose to members of the public over specified time periods (calendar quarter or calendar year), the dose may be projected and a determination made with regard to whether it is likely 40 CFR 190 limits will be exceeded. The 31-day Frequency is acceptable because associated ODCM limits for these releases are significantly less than those described in 40 CFR 190 and, therefore, it is unlikely any 40 CFR 190 limit would be exceeded in any 31-day period.
Revision 27 91
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.3 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.3.1.5 The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a real signal. This Surveillance contains a list of isotopes and required LLD for each. Sample analysis sensitivity must be such that radioactivities can be detected and measured at the LLD value.
It should be recognized that the LLD is an a Priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of measurement system and not an a Posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.
For a particular measurement system (which may include radio-chemical separation):
4.66Sb LLD =
E
- V
- T
- 2.22
- Y
- e-t where:
LLD = lower limit of detection as defined above (as pCi per unit mass or volume)
Sb = standard deviation of the background or blank sample counts
= square root of either the background or the blank sample counts E = counting efficiency (as counts per transformation)
V = sample size (in units of mass or volume)
T = elapsed count time 2.22 = number of transformations per minute per picocurie Y = fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)
= radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide t = elapsed time between sample collection (or end of the sample collection period) and time of counting Typical values of E, V, Y and t should be used in the calculation.
For certain mixtures of gamma emitters, it may not be possible to measure radionuclides in concentrations near their sensitivity limits when other nuclides are present in the sample in much greater concentrations. Under these circumstances, it will be more appropriate to calculate the concentration of such radionuclides using observed ratios with those radionuclides which are measurable.
Revision 27 92
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.3 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.3.1.5 (continued)
The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD limitation will apply are exclusively the following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported.
Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses should not be reported as being present at the LLD level. When unusual circumstances result in LLD requirements not being met, the reasons shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report as stated in Required Action F.1 of this Limitation, or the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report as stated in L 2.5.1, Required Action A.2.
Revision 27 93
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.4 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENTS BASES BACKGROUND This Limitation is provided to ensure that radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents from the site to unrestricted areas will be less than the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. This Limitation also implements the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A, and IV.A of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I.
Figure 4-2 illustrates the maximum area boundary for radioactive release calculations. For individuals who may at times be within the exclusion area boundary, the occupancy of the individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the exclusion area boundary.
LIMITATION Radioactive nuclides must be maintained within the limits of 10 CFR 20. The various dose rate and dose limitations are conservative with regard to 10 CFR 20 requirements in order to provide a margin of safety through the use of as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) practices.
The necessary VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEMs shall be used to reduce the radioactive materials in gases prior to discharge when it is projected that the cumulative dose during a calendar quarter due to gaseous effluent releases would exceed values specified in this Limitation. The specified limits governing the use of the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEMs are a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Sections II.B and II.C of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, for gaseous effluents.
APPLICABILITY The Limitations are required to be met at all times.
ACTIONS Because more than one Limitation or Surveillance requirement may not be met at a given time, the ACTIONS are modified by a Note that permits separate Condition entry for each Limitation and/or Surveillance requirement that is not met.
Revision 27 94
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.4 ACTIONS (continued)
A.1 and A.2 If any Limitation L 2.4.1.a through L 2.4.1.d is not met, action must be initiated immediately to restore the parameter within limits. This could require a reduction in offsite releases scheduled for the near future or further processing of effluents prior to release. In any event, a condition report must be initiated to determine whether additional actions are necessary to permit continued operations involving radioactive gaseous effluent releases given the current circumstances. In addition, corrective action must be issued to identify and track the Limitation that was exceeded for inclusion in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

B.1 and B.2 If the sampling and/or analysis requirements of S 2.4.1.1 are not met, the release must be terminated. This action prevents or minimizes the potential for an unmonitored offsite radioactive liquid release. Such release may commence or be re-initiated once the sampling and analysis requirements of S 2.4.1.1 are met. Regardless, a condition report must be initiated to determine whether additional actions are necessary to permit continued operations involving radioactive liquid effluent releases given the current circumstances. If a condition report has already been initiated relevant to this Condition, then this assessment may be performed in conjunction with that condition report; a second Condition Report is not required.
C.1 In accordance with 40 CFR 190, a variance must be received from the regulatory authority (NRC) if offsite dose to a member of the public will, or has exceeded, limits established in 40 CFR 190. Because Surveillance S 2.4.1.3 tracks the accumulated dose to members of the public over specified time periods (calendar quarter or calendar year), the dose may be projected and a determination made with regard to whether it is likely 40 CFR 190 limits will be exceeded.

If application for variance cannot be made prior to exceeding any 40 CFR 190 limit, it may be prudent to notify the NRC by phone as soon as possible of the need for a variance, providing the expected date in which the application will be submitted. Note that the NRC may provide verbal approval for variance in situations where time is a factor.
Revision 27 95
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.4 ACTIONS (continued)
D.1 If the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Condition C cannot be met or if the sampling and/or analysis requirements denoted in Surveillances S 2.4.1.2 are not met, then additional measures may be necessary to ensure continued safe operation or to reduce overall station risk. Therefore, a condition report must be initiated immediately to assess the impact on continued effluent release operations given the requirements that are not being met.
E.1 Surveillance S 2.4.1.5 establishes required capability of various sample analyses. A given analysis must be capable of detecting respective radioactivity at a reasonably low threshold in order to ensure radioactive gaseous releases to the public are carefully and accurately monitored. If the stated thresholds can not be met, a condition report must be initiated and corrective action issued to ensure the condition is included and described in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
SURVEILLANCES Continuous gaseous release paths are monitored by instrumentation denoted in Limitation L 2.2.1. Limitation L 2.2.1 provides Required Actions and Completion Times for circumstances when required instrumentation is out of service. Therefore, the Surveillances associated with this Limitation (L 2.4.1) envelop only required grab, charcoal, and particulate samples necessary to verify 10 CFR 20 limits will be met.
The Surveillance Limitations implement the requirements in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, Section III.A, that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a member of the public through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in this manual for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in RG 1.109, Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, Revision 1, October 1977, and RG 1.111, Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water Cooled Reactors, Revision 1, July 1977. The equations in this manual provided for determining the air doses at and beyond the site boundary are based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions.
The release rate limitations for iodine-131, tritium, and radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man in the areas at or beyond the site boundary. The pathways that were examined in the development of these calculations were: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, 3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.
Revision 27 96
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.4 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.4.1.1 and S 2.4.1.2 All radioactive gaseous effluent releases are required to be monitored. Because a Waste Gas Holdup Tank or Reactor (Containment) Building Purge release is of a known (or estimated) quantity and of finite duration, sampling of these effluents must be performed prior to release.
In addition, the sample must be analyzed for principal gamma emitters and tritium prior to the release in order to provide high confidence that radioactive release limits will not be exceeded.
S 2.4.1.3 To meet the intent of the continuous monitoring requirement for noble gases, the noble gas activity from each SPING operating on an activity flow path must be recorded at least once every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The current, highest, and average activity recorded from a particular SPING over the required grab sample period designated in other Surveillances associated with this Limitation are used to scale the noble gas and tritium activity obtained from the associated grab sample. The final resulting activity is used, in part, to support completion of S 2.4.1.4 and S 2.4.1.5 below.
S 2.4.1.4 Limitation L 2.4.1 establishes limits on radioactive gases discharged from the plant and the dose rates and accumulative dose that may be received by a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC as a result of such releases. In order to determine that these limits are met and being maintained, the results of analyses required by Surveillances S 2.4.1.1 and S 2.4.1.2, as adjusted by readings taken in accordance with S 2.4.1.3 as appropriate must be compared to the Limitation requirements on a specified Frequency. Therefore, analysis results obtained within a given 31-day period must be considered, in some cases along with previous analysis results of all gaseous releases over a specified period of time (calendar quarter or calendar year), to ensure limits are not exceeded.
The ratio of the sample flow rate to the sampled stream flow rate must be known for the time period covered by each dose or dose rate calculation made in accordance with this Limitation.
S 2.4.1.5 In accordance with 40 CFR 190, a variance must be received from the regulatory authority (NRC) is offsite dose to a member of the public will, or has exceeded, limits established in 40 CFR 190. Because Surveillance S 2.4.1.3 tracks the accumulated dose to members of the public over specified time periods (calendar quarter or calendar year), the dose may be projected and a determination made with regard to whether it is likely 40 CFR 190 limits will be exceeded. The 31-day Frequency is acceptable because associated ODCM limits for these releases are significantly less than those described in 40 CFR 190 and, therefore, it is unlikely any 40 CFR 190 limit would be exceeded in any 31-day period.
Revision 27 97
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.4 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.4.1.6 The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a real signal. This Surveillance contains a list of isotopes and required LLD for each. Sample analysis sensitivity must be such that radioactivies can be detected and measured at the LLD value. The Surveillance also contains the LLD for the Noble Gas Monitors associated with Limitation 2.2.1.
For an explanation of the LLD calculation, refer to the S 2.3.1.5 Bases.
For certain radionuclides with low gamma yield or low energies, or for certain radionuclides mixtures, it may not be possible to measure radionuclides in concentrations near the LLD.
Under these circumstances, the LLD may be increased inversely proportional to the magnitude of the gamma yield (i.e., (1 x 10-4/I)), where I is the photon abundance expressed as a decimal fraction), but in no case shall the LLD, as calculated in this manner for a specific radionuclide, be > 10% of the MPC value specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 1.
The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD limitation will apply are exclusively the following radionuclides: Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 for gaseous emissions and Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141 and Ce-144 for particulate emissions. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported. Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses should not be reported as being present at the LLD level for that nuclide. When unusual circumstances result in LLD's higher than required, the reasons shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING B 2.5.1 Environmental Sampling BASES BACKGROUND The ODCM includes, in tables and figures, specific parameters of distance and direction from the centerline of one reactor, and additional description where pertinent, for each sample location required by the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. NUREG-0133, "Preparation of Radiological Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants," October 1978, and Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position (BTP), Revision 1, November 1979, provide guidance with regard to environmental sampling.
With regard to the aforementioned BTP, one airborne sample location should be from the vicinity of a community having the highest calculated annual average ground-level D/Q.
Community as defined by Websters dictionary is people with common interests living in a particular area; broadly: the area itself. The local municipalities of London, Russellville, and Dardanelle are all part of the River Valley community located near Dardanelle Lake and the Arkansas River. The grouping of houses that reside within WSW (highest D/Q) sector are located in London which is part of the River Valley community. Air Station #2 per the above mentioned NRC BTP meets the requirements of being located within the highest D/Q and also in the vicinity of a community. Reference CR-ANO-C-2016-2732.
The approximate locations of selected sample sites are shown on ODCM Figures 4-1, 4-1A, and 4-1B for illustrative purposes. ODCM Table 4-1 lists the approximate distances and directions of the sample stations from the plant.
D/Q refers to a radiological deposition rate considering prevalent winds around the site and is used to determine natural settling of effluents from the atmosphere.
LIMITATION This Limitation specifies the sample locations and distances, sample analysis type and frequency, and parameters to be sampled as part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program.
The Limitation is modified by a Note that permits other instrumentation to be used in place of, or in addition to, integrating dosimeters for measuring and recording dose rate continuously.
For the purposes of this Limitation, a thermoluminescent dosimeter may be considered to be one phosphor and two or more phosphors in a packet considered as two or more dosimeters.
Film badges should not be used for measuring direct radiation.
APPLICABILITY The Limitations are required to be met at all times.
Revision 27 99
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.5.1 ACTIONS Because more than one Limitation or Surveillance requirement may not be met at a given time, the ACTIONS are modified by a Note that permits separate Condition entry for each Limitation and/or Surveillance requirement that is not met.
A.1 and A.2 Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons. If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunctions, every effort shall be made to complete corrective action before the end of the next sampling period. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
This ACTION lists several items that would result in the intent of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program not being met. In addition, this ACTION provides guidance for conditions where radionuclides other than those listed in Table 2.5-2 could result in a noteworthy dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC. Immediate action is required to restore conditions needed to meet the intent of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program.
All deviations from the Limitations and Surveillances required to meet the intent of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program must be reported in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. However, the condition need not be reported in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report if reported otherwise (i.e., in accordance with reporting requirements of 10 CFR 20, 10 CFR 50.72, 10 CFR 50.73, or 40 CFR 190).
With the level of radioactivity as the result of plant effluents in an environmental sampling medium at one or more required locations exceeding the limits of Table 2.5-2 when averaged over any calendar quarter, the condition must be reported in accordance with Required Action A.2. The report should include an evaluation of any release conditions, environmental factors or other aspects which caused the limits to be exceeded, and define the actions taken to reduce radioactive effluents so that the potential annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will remain less than the calendar year limits of Limitations L 2.3.1 and L 2.4.1. When more than one of the radionuclides in Table 2.5-2 is detected in the sampling medium, the information shall be included in the report if:
Concentration 1 Concentration 2 etc.
+ + 1.0 Reporting Level 1 Reporting Level 2 etc.
B.1 In addition to the requirements of Required Actions A.1 and A.2, a new location must be identified and added to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program within 30 days when required samples cannot be obtained from designated locations. Note that broad leaf samples are only required when milk samples are unavailable, pursuant to S 2.5.1.8.
Revision 27 100
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.5.1 ACTIONS (continued)
B.1 (continued)
The specific locations from which samples were unavailable may then be deleted from the monitoring program. The cause(s) of the unavailability of samples the new location(s) for obtaining replacement samples shall be identified in next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. The report shall also include a revised Table 4-1 reflecting the new location(s).
SURVEILLANCES S 2.5.1.1 through S 2.5.1.8 These Surveillances ensure samples are collected and analyzed at specified frequencies of the parameters, and from the locations, designated in Limitation L 2.5.1. The approximate locations of selected sample sites are shown on ODCM Figures 4-1, 4-1A, and 4-1B for illustrative purposes. ODCM Table 4-1 lists the approximate distances and directions of the sample stations from the plant.
Note that the gross beta analysis of required particulate samplers should not be performed within the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following particulate filter change. This is to allow for radon and thoron daughter decay. If it is discovered that the particulate gross beta activity is more than 10 times the yearly mean of control samples for any medium, consideration should be given to performing a gamma isotopic analysis of the individual particulate samples. Also note that particulate samples may need to be collected more frequently than the specified 14-day Frequency due to dust or other accumulation of matter.
Gamma isotopic analysis includes the identification and quantification of gamma-emitting radionuclides that may be attributable to the effluents from the facility.
S 2.5.1.9 The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a real signal. Table 2.5-1 contains a list of isotopes and required LLD for each. Sample analysis sensitivity must be such that radioactivities can be detected and measured at the LLD value.
For an explanation of the LLD calculation, refer to the S 2.3.1.5 Bases.
S 2.5.1.10 With the level of radioactivity as the result of plant effluents in an environmental sampling medium at one or more required locations exceeding the limits of Table 2.5-2 when averaged over any calendar quarter, the condition must be reported in accordance with Required Action A.2.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING B 2.5.2 Land Use Census BASES BACKGROUND The surveys required by this Limitation ensure that changes in environmental conditions as they relate to radioactive effluent releases from the site are identified and accounted for in the overall dose commitment to the public.
LIMITATION This Limitation ensures changes in the use of unrestricted areas are identified and that modifications are subsequently included in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. The census satisfies 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, Section IV.B.3.
Restricting the census to gardens of > 500 ft2 provides assurance that significant exposure pathway via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed in RG 1.109 for consumption by a child. This minimum garden size was determined assuming
- 1) that 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage) and, 2) a vegetation yield of 2 kg/m2.
The Limitation is modified by a Note that permits broad leaf vegetation sampling to be performed at the site boundary in the directional sector having the highest D/Q in lieu of performing a garden census. D/Q refers to a radiological deposition rate considering prevalent winds around the site and is used to determine natural settling of effluents from the atmosphere.
APPLICABILITY The Limitations are required to be met at all times.
ACTIONS Because more than one new sample location may be identified during a given census, the ACTIONS are modified by a Note permit separate Condition entry for each new location identified.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.5.2 ACTIONS (continued)
A.1, A.2.1, and A.2.2 When new locations are discovered that indicate higher radioactivity levels than current locations being sample pursuant to Limitation L 2.5.1 or if radioactivity levels at a new location are projected to exceed 40 CFR 190 limits (with regard to I-131, H-3, and particulate sources),
a condition report must be immediately initiated. Initiating a condition report will ensure reporting criteria is evaluated for the given condition. Regardless of any other report, the new location must be included in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
In addition to the requirements of Required Action A.1, the new location must be added to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program within 30 days. Following October 31 of the year in which the census is taken, the old sample location in this same pathway may be deleted from the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. This is expected to be performed within 90 days following the October 31 limit.
SURVEILLANCES S 2.5.2.1 through S 2.5.2.2 The land use census must be performed every 24 months and between the dates of June 1 and October 1 of the given year. The results of the census must be reported in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
The Surveillance requirements are modified by a Note that prevents the use of S 2.0.2.
Therefore, the 25% Frequency extension associated with S 2.0.2 cannot be applied to the Surveillances associated with this Limitation. This is because the Frequencies are associated with strict performance and reporting dates which cannot be exceeded.
Revision 27 103
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM B 2.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING B 2.5.3 Interlaboratory Comparison Program BASES BACKGROUND This Limitation refers to the off-site radiochemistry laboratory. The Limitation provides independent checks on the accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental samples.
LIMITATION The requirement for participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of a quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are reasonably valid.
APPLICABILITY The Limitations are required to be met at all times.
ACTION A.1 Failure to meet the requirements of the Interlaboratory Comparison Program requires initiating a condition report to ensure the circumstances are included in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
SURVEILLANCE S 2.5.3.1 The results of the Interlaboratory Comparison Program analyses must be reported in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
