TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 2002 THROUGH DECEMBER 2002 2.0 EFFLUENT CONCENTRATION Water: In accordance with 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, and for entrained or dissolved noble gases as described in 1.1 .a of this report.
Air : Release concentrations are limited to dose rate limits described in 1.2.a of this report.
3.0 AVERAGE ENERGY The average energy of fission and activation gases in effluents is not applicable.
4.0 MEASUREMENTS AND APPROXIMATIONS OF TOTAL ACTIVITY All liquid and airborne discharges to the environment during this period were analyzed in accordance with Technical Specification requirements. The minimum frequency of analysis as required by Regulatory Guide 1.21 was met or exceeded.
When alpha, tritium and named nuclides are shown as "- -" curies on the following tables, this should be interpreted as 'no activity' was detected on the samples using the Plant Technical Specification analysis techniques to achieve the required Lower Limit of Detection ("LLD")
sensitivity for radioactive effluents.
4.1 Liquid Effluents Aliquots of representative pre-release samples, from the waste disposal system, were isotopically analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes on a multichannel analyzer.
Frequent periodic sampling and analysis were used to conservatively determine if any radioactivity was being released via the steam generator blowdown system and the storm drain system.
Monthly and quarterly composite samples for the waste disposal system were prepared to give proportional weight to each liquid release made during the designated period of accumulation.
The monthly composite was analyzed for tritium and gross alpha radioactivity. Tritium was determined by use of liquid scintillation techniques, and gross alpha radioactivity was determined by use of a solid state scintillation system. The quarterly composite was analyzed for Sr-89, Sr-90, Ni-63, and Fe-55 by chemical separation.
4
TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 2002 THROUGH DECEMBER 2002 All radioactivity concentrations determined from sample analysis of a pre-release composite were multiplied by the total represented volume of the liquid waste released to determine the total quantity of each isotope and of gross alpha activity released during the compositing period.
Aliquots of representative samples from the waste disposal system were analyzed on a pre-release basis by gamma spectrum analysis. The resulting isotope concentrations were multiplied by the total volume released in order to estimate the total dissolved gases released.
The liquid waste treatment system is shared by both units at the site and generally all liquid releases are allocated on a 50/50 basis to each unit respectively.
There were no continuous liquid effluent releases above the lower limit of detection for either Unit 3 or Unit 4 during this reporting period and therefore these have been omitted from Table 2 of this report.
5
TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 2002 THROUGH DECEMBER 2002 4.2 Gaseous Effluents Airborne releases to the atmosphere occurred from the following sources:
- Gas Decay Tanks
- Containment Purges
- Releases incidental to operation of the plant.
The techniques employed in determining the radioactivity in airborne releases are:
a) Gamma spectrum analysis for fission and activation gases, b) Removal of particulate material by filtration and subsequent gamma spectrum analysis, Sr-89, Sr-90 determination, and gross alpha determination, c) Absorption of halogen radionuclides on a charcoal filter and subsequent gamma spectral analysis, and d) Analysis of water vapor in a gas sample for tritium using liquid scintillation techniques.
All gaseous releases from the plant which were not accounted for by the above methods were conservatively estimated as curies of Xe-1 33 by use of the SPING-4 radiation monitors and the Plant Vent process monitor data using the current calibration curve for that process monitor.
Both units share portions of the gaseous waste treatment system and generally all gaseous releases from the shared system are allocated on a 50/50 basis to each unit.
Meteorological data for the period January 2002 through December 2002, in the form of Joint Frequency Distribution Tables, are maintained on site.

TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 2002 THROUGH DECEMBER 2002 4.3 Estimation of Errors a) Sampling Error The error associated with volume measurement devices, flow measuring devices, etc.,
based on calibration data and design tolerances has been conservatively estimated to be collectively less than + 10%.
b) Analytical Error Our quarterly Q.C. Cross-Check Program involves counting unknown samples provided by an independent external lab. The errors associated with our analysis of these unknown samples, reported to us by the independent lab, were used as the basis for deriving the following analytical error terms:
NUCLIDE TYPE AVERAGE ERROR MAXIMUM ERROR Liquid +/- 5.9% +/- 1 1.0%
Gaseous +/- 2.7% +/- 11.0%

TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 2002 THROUGH DECEMBER 2002 6.0 UNPLANNED RELEASES 6.1 Liquid There were no unplanned liquid releases this period for either Unit 3 or Unit 4.
6.2 Gaseous There were no unplanned gas releases during this reporting period for either Unit 3 or Unit 4.
7.0 REACTOR COOLANT ACTIVITY 7.1 Unit 3 Reactor coolant activity limits of 1OO/E-Bar and 1.0 uCi/gram Dose Equivalent 1-131 were not exceeded.
7.2 Unit 4 Reactor coolant activity limits of 100/E-Bar and 1.0 uCi/gram Dose Equivalent I-131 were not exceeded.
8.0 SITE RADIATION DOSE The assessment of radiation dose from radioactive effluents to the general public due to their activities inside the site boundary assumes a visitor was at the child development center/fitness center for ten hours a day, five days each week for fifty weeks of the year, receiving exposure from both Unit 3 and Unit 4 at Turkey Point. The child development center/fitness center is located approximately 1.75 miles WNW of the plant. Specific activities used in these calculations are the sum of the activities listed in Unit 3 Table 3 and Unit 4 Table 3. The following dose calculations were made using historical, meteorological data:
Adult Inhalation Child Inhalation Bone (mrem) 3.70E-08 6.68E-08 Liver (mrem) 1.65E-07 1.47E-07 Thyroid (mrem) 1.75E-05 2.27E-05 Kidney (mren) 2.02E-7 9.41E-08 Lung (mrem) 1.13E-07 7.92E-08 GI-LLI (mrem) 1.22E-07 8.33E-08 Total Body (mrem) 1.43E-7 1.30E-7 Gamma Air Dose (mrad) l 5.13E-05 Beta Air Dose (mrad) 1.85E-04 8
TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 2002 THROUGH DECEMBER 2002 9.0 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) REVISIONS The ODCM was revised once during this reporting period. The changes are included in Appendix A.
10.0 SOLID WASTE AND IRRADIATED FUEL SHIPMENTS No irradiated fuel shipments were made from the site. Common solid waste from Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 was shipped jointly. A summation of these shipments is given in Table 6 of this report.
11.0 PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM REVISIONS During 2002, a revision was issued to the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Process Control Program to reflect the acquisition of Chem-Nuclear by Duratek, and to incorporate a new Dewatering procedure for Duratek 14-215 or smaller liners at Turkey Point.
12.0 INOPERABLE EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION There was no inoperable effluent monitoring instrumentation requiring reportability during this period.

TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 2002 THROUGH DECEMBER 2002 TABLE 6 NOTE 1: Dry compressible waste volume indicates volume shipped to a burial site following reduction by a waste processing facility. During calendar year 2002, a total of 4.09E+02 cubic meters was shipped to processors.
NOTE 2: Material transported to Oak Ridge Tennessee was consigned to licensed processing facilities for volume reduction and decontamination activities. The material remaining after processing was transported by the processor to Barnwell South Carolina or Qive Utah in accordance with the appropriate burial license activitylimits. The material shipped directlyto Barnwell was processed by CNSI / Duratek Inc. and buried.
NOTE 3: The total curie quantity and radionuclide composition of solid waste shipped from the Turkey Point Plant Units 3 and 4 are determined using a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques. The Turkey Point Plant follows the guidelines in the Low Level Waste Licensing Branch Technical Position on Radioactive Waste Classification (5/11/83) for these determinations.
The most frequently used techniques for determining the total activity in a package are the dose to curie method and inference from specific activity and mass or activity concentration and volume. Activation analysis may be applied when it is appropriate. The total activity determination by any of these methods is considered to be an estimate.
The composition of radionuclides in the waste is determined by periodic off-site analysis for difficult to measure isotopes. Off-site analysis are used to establish scaling factors or other estimates for difficult to measure isotopes and principle Gamma emitters.
NOTE 4: Principle radionuclide refers to those radionuclides contained in the waste in concentrations greater than 0.01 times the concentration of the nuclide listed in Table 1 or 0.01 times the smallest concentration of the nuclide listed in Table 2 of 10 CFR 61.55.
NOTE 5: Type of waste is specified as described in NUREG 0782, Draft Environment Impact Statement on 10 CFR 61 "Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste".
NOTE 6: Type of container refers to the transport package.

TURKEY POINT UNIT 3 & 4 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL INTRODUCTION PURPOSE This manual describes methods which are acceptable for calculating radioactivity concentrations in the environment and potential offsite doses associated with liquid and gaseous effluents from the Turkey Point Nuclear Units. These calculations are performed to satisfy Technical Specifications and to ensure that the radioactive dose or dose commitment to any member of the public is not exceeded.
The radioactivity concentration calculations and dose estimates in this manual are used to demonstrate compliance with the Technical Specifications required by 10 CFR 50.36. The methods used are acceptable for demonstrating operational compliance with 10 CFR 20.1302, 10CFR50 Appendix I, and 40CFR1 90. Only the doses attributable to Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 are determined in demonstrating compliance with 40CFR1 90 since there are no other nuclear facilities within 50 miles of the plant. Monthly calculations are performed to verify that potential offsite releases do not exceed Technical Specifications and to provide guidance for the management of radioactive effluents. The dose receptor is described such that the exposure of any member of the public is not likely to be substantially underestimated.
Quarterly and annual calculations of committed dose are also performed to verify compliance with regulatory limits of offsite dose. For these calculations, the dose receptor is chosen on the basis of applicable exposure pathways identified in a land use survey and the maximum ground level atmospheric dispersion factor (X/Q) at a residence, or on the basis of more conservative conditions such that the dose to any resident near the plant is not likely to be underestimated.
The radioactive effluent controls set forth in this ODCM are designed to allow operational flexibility but still maintain releases and doses "as low as is reasonably achievable"; that is, within the objectives of Appendix 1,10 CFR Part 50 and comply with the limits in 10 CFR 20.1302.
The methods specified in the OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) for calculating doses due to planned or actual releases are consistent with the guidance and methods provided in:
Regulatory Guide 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.
Regulatory Guide 1.1 11, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977.

o The concentrations of radioactive materials released are maintained within the limits of Control 2.2.
o Quarterly and annual cumulative dose contributions to a member of the public from radioactivity in liquid effluents released from each unit to unrestricted areas are maintained within the limits of Control 2.3.
o Projected doses due to liquid releases to unrestricted areas are maintained within the limits of Control 2.4.
o Operation of appropriate portions of the Liquid Radwaste Treatment System when projected doses exceed limits of Control 2.4.
o The operability of Liquid Radwaste System is verified by meeting Controls 2.2 and 2.3 B. Bases Radioactive liquid effluents from Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 are released through radiation monitors which provide an alarm and automatic termination of radioactive releases. There are three discharge points from the units: steam generator blowdown from each unit and a common radwaste monitor tank discharge. The liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation and controls at Turkey Point for controlling and monitoring normal radioactive releases in accordance with Turkey Point Technical Specification 6.8.4.f consist of the following 1 Liquid Radwaste System Potentially radioactive liquid waste from Units 3 and 4 chemistry laboratories, containment sumps, floor drains, showers and miscellaneous sources are collected in waste hold up tanks. These wastes are processed through a demineralizer system and the effluent stored in one of the three waste monitor tanks or one of two monitor tanks (Refer to Figure 2-1). Laundry wastes are normally segregated and sent to one of two monitor tanks.

(3) The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification exclusively applies are 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 considered. Other gamma peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the above nuclides, shall also be analyzed and reported in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report pursuant to Control 1.3.
Nuclides, which are below the LLD for the analysis, should not be reported as being present at the LLD for that nuclide. When a radionuclide's calculated LLD is greater than it's listed LLD limit, the calculated LLD should be assigned as the activity of the radionuclide; or, the activity of the radionuclide should be calculated using measured ratios with those radionuclides which are routinely identified and measured.
(4) A composite sample is 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 that is representative of the liquids released.
(5) A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a non discrete volume, e.g.,
from a volume of a system that has an input flow during the continuous release.
(6) Prior to analyses, all samples taken for the composite shall be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the effluent release.
(7) Sampling and analysis of steam generator blowdown is not required during Mode 5 or 6.
(8) Sampling and analysis of steam generator blowdown on the applicable unit is only necessary for these species when primary to secondary leakage is occurring as indicated by the condenser air ejector noble gas activity monitor. (See Control 3.1, Table 3.1-1, Item 2a).

METHOD 2.2: AQUEOUS CONCENTRATION The diluted concentration of radionuclides in the condenser cooling water mixing basin outflow is estimated with the equation CZ = C *-F Eqn. 2.2 -1 F2 where:
C, = concentration of radionuclide i in the condenser cooling water mixing basin outflow, (gCi/ml)
C, = concentration of radionuclide i in liquid radwaste released, (pCi/ml)
F1 / F2 = dilution F, = flow in radioactive liquid discharge line, (gal/min).*
F2 = total condenser cooling water flow, (gal/min).*
This value has been conservatively estimated at 156,000 gpm per circulating water pump for units 3 & 4, and 134,000 gpm per circulating water pump for units 1 & 2, based on expected condenser fouling and pump curves.
- F. and F2 may have any suitable but identical units of flow, (volume/time).
A. Batch Release A sample of each batch of liquid radwaste is analyzed before release for I-131 and other principal gamma emitters. With the activity concentration in a batch sample, b, based on the total isotopic activity, the fraction of the unrestricted area effluent concentration (FEC) due to a batch release is derived by using the ratio of the individual isotopic concentrations and their related effluent concentration (EC).

EC, = ten times the activity concentration limit in water of radionuclide i according to 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, (IaCi/ml).
The factor for beta emitting isotopes is an adjustment to account for radionuclides not measured prior to release but measured in the quarterly and monthly samples per ODCM Table 2.2-1, i.e., Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55, H-3. This value is calculated from previously measured data.
A gross beta-gamma analysis of a batch release may be performed when an isotopic analysis is not available. The fraction of the unrestricted EC due to a batch release using the gross beta-gamma analysis can be estimated by:

B. Continuous Release Continuous aqueous discharges are sampled and analyzed according to the schedule in ODCM Table 2.2-1. The fraction of the unrestricted area EC present in a continuously discharged radioactive stream, FECC, is derived from an isotopic analyses. The fraction of the unrestricted area EC can be derived using the ratio of the individual isotopic concentrations and their related ECs. FECC is estimated with the equation:

METHOD 2.2: Aqueous Concentration, continuous, (continued)
C. Cumulative Release To ensure that the unrestricted area EC is not exceeded during periods of multiple releases, the fraction of EC determined for each type of release is summed to determine a total release fraction using the following equation:
FECT = FECb + FECc Eqn 2.2-6 Where:
FECT = the total fraction of the unrestricted area EC released.
FECb = the fraction of the unrestricted area EC due to batch releases FECC = the fraction of the unrestricted area EC due to continuous releases.
BASIS 2.2:
This control applies to the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents from all units at the site. The specification of "10 times the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2" provides the datum against which the liquid effluent monitor setpoints are determined pursuant to Control 2.1. In essence, Control 2.2 is an instantaneous limit.
The concentration limit for "dissolved or entrained noble gases" is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its associated 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.
Adherence to Controls 2.3 and 2.4 provide assurance that levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in UNRESTRICTED AREAS will, on the average, be a small fraction of the concentration limits and result in exposures to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC within the objectives of Appendix I of 10 CFR Part 50 and 40 CFR 190.
Control 2.2 permits the flexibility of operation, compatible with considerations of health and safety, to provide a dependable source of power even under circumstances that temporarily result in elevated releases, but still within the limit as specified in 10 CFR Part 20.1302 (b)(2)(ii).

METHOD 3.4.1: DOSE DUE TO IODINE, TRITIUM, AND PARTICULATES IN GASEOUS EFFLUENTS A. Determining the Quantity of Iodine, Tritium, and Particulates Radionuclides, other than noble gases, in gaseous effluents that are measured by the radioactive gaseous waste sampling and analysis program, described in ODCM Table 3.2-1, are used as the release term in dose calculations. Airborne releases are discharged either via a stack above the top of the containment building or via other vents and are treated as a mixed mode release from a single location. Releases of steam from the secondary system concurrent with primary to secondary leakage will also result in the release of activity to the atmosphere. For steam generator blowdown, using a blowdown sample analysis, it is assumed that 5% of the 1-131 and 1-133 and 33% of the tritium in the blowdown stream become airborne with the remainder staying in the liquid phase. For other unmonitored releases, the quantity of airborne releases may be determined by performing a steam mass balance. For each of these release combinations, samples are analyzed weekly, monthly, quarterly, or for each batch releases according to Table 3.2-1 Each sample provides a measure of the concentration of specific radionuclides, C, in gaseous effluent discharged at flow rate, F, during a time increment, t.

B. Calculating the Dose Due to Iodine, Tritium, and Particulates, (continued)
Of all these pathways, the air-grass-cow-milk pathway is by far the controlling dose contributor. The radioiodines contribute essentially all of the dose, by this pathway, with 1-131 typically contributing greater than 95%. The dose transfer factors for the radioiodines are much greater than for any of the other radionuclides. The critical organ is the infant's thyroid.
For this reason, the potential critical organ dose via airborne effluents can be estimated by determining an effective dose transfer factor for the radioiodines based on the typical radioactive effluent distribution, the air-grass-cow-milk pathway, and the infant thyroid as the receptor. Then for conservatism the total cumulative release of all radioiodines and particulates can be used along with the effective dose transfer factor to determine a conservative estimate of the infant thyroid dose.
Surveillance 3.4.1, requires an evaluation be performed once per 31 days to verify that the accumulated total body or organ dose for the current calendar quarter and calendar year does not exceed the limit as given in Control 3.4.

BASIS 3.4: DOSE - IODINE 131, IODINE 133, TRITIUM, AND RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL IN PARTICULATE FORM This control applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from each unit at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the gaseous effluents from the shared systems are proportioned among the units sharing that system.
This control is provided to implement the requirements of Appendix 1,10 CFR Part 50. The Control implements the guides set forth in Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The ODCM calculation methods specified in the Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Appendix I 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 ODCM calculational methodology and parameters for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 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 Regulatory Guide 1.1 11, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors,"
Revision 1, July 1977. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate specifications for Iodine-131, lodine-133, tritium, and radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days are dependent upon the existing radionuclide pathways to man in the areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. The pathways that were examined in the development of the 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.

(1) This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered. Other peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the above nuclides, shall also be analyzed and reported in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Control 1.4.
(2) Required detection capabilities for thermoluminescent dosimeters used for environmental measurements are given in Regulatory Guide 4.13.
(3) The LLD is defined, for purposes of these controls, as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.
For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:
LLD = 4.66 (Sb)
E
- V
- 2.22 Y * [exp(-XAt)]
Where:
LLD = the "a priori" lower limit of detection as defined above as picoCuries per unit mass or volume, Sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),
E = the counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),
V = the sample size (units of mass or volume),
2.22 = the number of disintegrations per minute per picoCurie, Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable, X = the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide At = the elapsed time between environmental collection, or end of the sample collection period, and time of counting (sec).
Typical values of E, V, Y, and At should be used in the calculation.

(3) The LLD is defined (continued)
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidable small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable.
In such cases, the contributing factors shall be identified and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Control 1.4.
(4) LLD for drinking water samples. If no drinking water pathway exists, the LLD of gamma isotopic analysis may be used.
(5) An equilibrium mixture of the parent and daughter isotopes which corresponds to 15 pCi/I of the parent isotope.
METHOD 5.1: RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE - TURKEY POINT PLANT It is the policy of Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) that the Turkey Point 3 and 4, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Programs, (REMP), are conducted by the State of Florida Department of Health (DOH), pursuant to an Agreement between FPL and DOH. The policy also states that the coordination of the REMP with DOH and compliance with the REMP requirements are the responsibility of the Nuclear Division Health Physics/Chemistry Staff.
The following pages describe the actual sampling and analysis program implemented to satisfy ODCM Table 5.1-1.
