1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Radioactive Effluent Release Report, for Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station Unit 1 and Unit 2, is submitted as required by Technical Specification 5.6.3 and Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Administrative Control 6.9.1.4 for the period January 1, 2002, through December 31, 2002.

1.1 Executive Summary The radioactive effluent monitoring program for the year 2002 was conducted as described in the following report. The results of the monitoring program indicate the continued effort to maintain the release of radioactive effluents to the environment as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).

A summation of all the radioactive gaseous releases to the environment during 2002 produced the following results:

The total gaseous tritium activity released from the site for 2002 was 57.1 Curies which is an increase from the 37.8 Curies in 2001 and 29.6 Curies released in 2000. The major contributor to gaseous tritium activity is evaporation from the spent fuel pools. Factors contributing to the tritium activity in the pools is related to the type of fuel used (ie, 18 month fuel) the core life and power output and number of core cycles.

The total gaseous fission and activation activity (Noble gas) released from the site in 2002 was 228 Curies. This was a major increase from past years due to the fuel defects of the Unit 1 core and relief valve testing that took place in conjunction with the unplanned shutdown of Unit 1 due to the primary to secondary leak from the steam generator.

  • The total gaseous particulate activity released for 2002 was 1.14E-05 Curies. This value has historically been 0.0 Curies for the last six years. This increase was due to a single Chemistry stack sample that detected the presence of Co-58. There was no way to discount the sample completely so it is being reported in order to be conservative.
  • The gross alpha released has continued at 0.0 Curies for 2002 matching the performance of the previous six years.

The iodine released was 1.59E-04 Curies for 2002.

  • The calculated gamma air dose from the site due to noble gases released during 2002 is 9.04E-03 mrad which is an increase from 2001 which calculated out as 7.54E-04 mrad; this represents only 0.047% of the annual limit for each unit. This increase is attributable to the reporting of the increased nuclide abundance due to the fuel element defects and the primary to secondary leakage from Unit 1.

1

  • The calculated beta air dose from the site due to noble gases released during 2002 is 2.63E-02 mrad which is an increase from 2001 which calculated out as 3.44 E-04 mrad; however, this represents only 0.0655% of the annual limit.

This increase is attributable to the reporting of the increased nuclide abundance due to the fuel element defects and the primary to secondary leakage from Unit 1.

  • The total whole body dose from the site due to gaseous radioactivity released based on I-131, I-133, H-3(tritium), and particulate nuclides for 2002 calculated out to be 0.055 mrem. This value is a slight increase from the 2001 whole body dose of 0.036 mrem.
  • Overall the gaseous radioactivity releases from CPSES are well controlled and maintained ALARA. CPSES is well below all applicable limits for gaseous releases.

A summation of all the radioactive liquid releases to the environment during 2002 produced the following results:

  • The total number of Curies of radioactive nuclides released from the site in liquid effluents in 2002 was 1390.52 Curies, up from 931.18 Curies in 2001.
  • Of the total Curies released from the site, tritium accounted for 1390.0 Curies while all other nuclides released accounted for only 0.52 Curies. The total curies of tritium released is up from the 2001 total of 931.0 Curies.
  • The total whole body dose from the site due to liquid effluents calculated out at 1.01 E-01 mrem which is only 1.69% of the annual limit for each unit. Tritium accounts for >99% of the calculated total whole body dose with the Squaw Creek Reservoir (SCR) tritium concentration being the controlling factor. The SCR tritium concentration for 2002 averaged 11,400 pCi/l which is slightly down from 2001.
  • The 2002 average SCR tritium concentration of 11,400 pCi/l is 38.0% of the reporting limit of 30,000 pCi/l.

The CPSES meteorological system achieved a 96.7% recoverable data rate for the joint frequency parameters required by Regulatory Guide 1.23 for wind speed, wind direction and delta temperature. All other parameters also achieved a >90%

recoverable data rate.

There are two ODCM noncompliance related issues discussed in this annual report. The first issue is a failure to create a

'planned non-routine radioactive release permit' during a vent 2

of the Volume Control Tank as required by the ODCM and Chemistry procedures. The second issue involved a loss of a liquid composite sample for the Primary Effluent Tanks that was part of the 3'd quarter composite sample analysis to be shipped offsite for vendor analysis of Fe-55, Sr-89, and Sr-90.

Additional details of these issues are discussed in section 6.5 of this report.

During 2002 there were no Technical Specification/ODCM effluent radiation monitors out of service for >30 days.

There was one revision (Rev 20) to the ODCM approved and implemented in 2002.

For 2002, the total volume of solid radwaste buried was 27.9 cubic meters and the total radioactivity buried was 135 curies.

The majority of the buried solid waste volume comes from dry active waste at 26.2 cubic meters. Also, spent resins and filters were responsible for >99% of all the total radioactivity buried.

Overall, the radioactive effluent monitoring program has been conducted in an appropriate manner to ensure the activity released and associated dose to the public has been maintained as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).

(264/V) Zi Aj/Cj < 1. 0 excluding tritium, dissolved or entrained noble gases and radionuclides with less than an 8 day half life, where:

Ai = pond inventory limit for a single radionuclide j (Curies),

C = 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2 Column 2, concentration for a single radionuclide j (RCi/ml),

V = volume of resins in the pond (gallons), and 264 = conversion factor (gCi/Ci per ml/gal) 9

2.1.5 Total Dose The annual (calendar year) dose or dose commitment to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources shall be limited to less than or equal to 25 mrems to the whole body or any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrems.

2.2 Effluent Concentration Limits 2.2.1 Gaseous Effluents For gaseous effluents, effluent concentration limits (ECL) values are not directly used in release rate calculations since the applicable limits are expressed in terms of dose rate at the site boundary.

2.2.2 Liquid Effluents The values specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 are used as the ECL for liquid radioactive effluents released to unrestricted areas.

A value of 2.OE-04 gCi/ml is used as the ECL for dissolved and entrained noble gases in liquid effluents.

2.3 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity Measurements of total radioactivity in liquid and gaseous radioactive effluents were accomplished in accordance with the sampling and analysis requirements of Tables 4.11-1 and 4.11-2, respectively, of the CPSES ODCM.

2.3.1 Liquid Radioactive Effluents Each batch release was sampled and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides using gamma spectroscopy, prior to release. Composite samples were analyzed monthly and quarterly for the Primary Effluent Tanks (PET), Waste Monitor Tanks (WMT), Laundry Holdup and Monitor Tanks (LHMT) and Waste Water Holdup Tanks (WWHT). Composite samples were analyzed monthly for tritium and gross alpha radioactivity in the onsite laboratory using liquid scintillation and gas flow proportional counting techniques, respectively.

Composite samples were analyzed quarterly for Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 by a contract laboratory (Teledyne Brown). The results of the composite analyses from the previous month or quarter were used to estimate the quantities of these radionuclides in liquid effluents during the current month or quarter. The total radioactivity in liquid effluent releases was 10

determined from the measured and estimated concentrations of each radionuclide present and the total volume of the effluent released during periods of discharge.

For batch releases of powdex resin to the LVW pond, samples were analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides, using gamma spectroscopy techniques, prior to release. Composite samples were analyzed quarterly, for Sr-89 and Sr-90, by an offsite laboratory (Teledyne Brown).

For continuous releases to the Circulating Water Discharge from the LVW pond, daily grab samples were obtained over the period of pond discharge. These samples were composited and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides, using gamma spectroscopy techniques. Composite samples were also analyzed for tritium and gross alpha radioactivity using liquid scintillation and gas flow proportional counting techniques, respectively. Composite samples were analyzed quarterly for Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 by a contract laboratory (Teledyne Brown).

2.3.2 Gaseous Radioactive Effluents Each gaseous batch release was sampled and analyzed for radioactivity prior to release. For releases from Waste Gas Decay Tanks, noble gas grab samples were analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides using gamma spectroscopy. For releases from the Containment Building, samples were taken using charcoal and particulate filters, in addition to noble gas and tritium grab samples, and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides prior to each release with the exception of Containment vents made as a precursor to a Containment purge. In these cases, samples collected and analyzed as a prerequisite to the vent were used to estimate total radioactivity released during the subsequent purge. The results of the analyses and the total volume of effluent released were used to determine the total amount of radioactivity released in the batch mode.

For continuous effluent release pathways, noble gas and tritium grab samples were collected and analyzed weekly for gamma emitting radionuclides by gamma spectroscopy and liquid scintillation counting techniques, respectively. Continuous release pathways were continuously sampled using radioiodine adsorbers and particulate filters. The radioiodine adsorbers and particulate filters were analyzed weekly for I-131 and gamma emitting radionuclides using gamma spectroscopy. Results of the noble gas and tritium grab samples, radioiodine adsorber and 11

particulate filter analyses from the current week and the average effluent flow rate for the previous week were used to determine the total amount of radioactivity released in the continuous mode.

Monthly composites of particulate filters were analyzed for gross alpha activity, in the onsite laboratory using the gas flow proportional counting technique. Quarterly composites of particulate filters were analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90 by an offsite laboratory (Teledyne Brown).

2.4 Batch Releases A summary of information for gaseous and liquid batch releases is included in Table 7.1.

2.5 Abnormal Releases Abnormal releases are defined as the unintended discharge of a volume of liquid or airborne radioactivity to the environment.

No abnormal effluent releases occurred during the period covered by this report.

3.0 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS The quantities of radioactive material released in gaseous effluents are summarized in Tables 7.3 and 7.4. All releases of radioactive material in gaseous form are considered to be ground level releases.

4.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS The quantities of radioactive material released in liquid effluents are summarized in Tables 7.5 and 7.6.

5.0 SOLID WASTES The quantities of radioactive material released as solid effluents are summarized in Table 7.13.

12

6.0 RELATED INFORMATION 6.1 Operability of Liquid and Gaseous Monitoring Instrumentation ODCM Radiological Effluent Controls 3.3.3.4 and 3.3.3.5 require an explanation of why designated inoperable liquid and gaseous monitoring instrumentation was not restored to operable status within thirty days.

During the period covered by this report, there were no instances where these instruments were inoperable for more than thirty days.

6.2 Changes to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Revision 20 was issued to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual during 2002. This revision included six areas as described below:

(1) Plant vent stack radiation monitors, particulate and iodine channels (XRE5568A&B and XRE5575A&B) were deleted from the ODCM due to a design modification that removed them from the plant.

The plant vent stack Wide Range Gas Monitors meet the design requirements for the stack effluents.

(2) Revised the sampling and analysis requirements of Part I, Table 4.11-1 'Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program' . The change concerned deleting the unrealistically limiting lower level of detection (LLD) for dissolved and entrained gases in the monthly composite sample of the Low Volume Waste Pond.

(3) Footnotes of Part I, Table 4.11-2 'Radioactive Gaseous Waste Sampling and Analysis Program' were revised to clarify the sampling criteria during changes in 'Rated Thermal Power' to add 'greater than or equal to' criteria for clarification and consistency with Technical Specification 3.4.16.

(4) ODCM Part II, Section 1.5 'Definitions of Common Liquid Effluent Parameters was revised to remove reference to ODCM Table 3.1 and Figure 3.1 which were previously removed from the ODCM and placed in the current CPSES Land Use Census.

(5) Deleted references to the effluent pathway Outfall numbers.

These numbers were not necessary to describe the program and changes in the numbers produced inconsistencies in the ODCM and current plant designation.

(6) Revised the company name to be consistent with CPSES License Amendment No.90.

A complete copy of the current ODCM Rev. 20 can be found in attachment 8.2 of this report.

13

6.3 New Locations for Dose Calculations or Environmental Monitoring ODCM Administrative Control 6.9.1.4 requires any new locations for dose calculations and/or environmental monitoring, identified by the Land Use Census, to be included in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. Based on the 2002 Land Use Census, no new receptor locations were identified which resulted in changes requiring a revision in current environmental sample locations. Values for the current nearest resident, milk animal, garden, X/Q and D/Q values in all sectors surrounding CPSES were included in the 2002 Land Use Census.

6.4 Liquid Holdup and Gas Storage Tanks ODCM Administrative Control 6.9.1.4 requires a description of the events leading to liquid holdup or gas storage tanks exceeding the limits required to be established by Technical Specification 5.5.12. Technical Requirements Manual 13.10.33 limits the quantity of radioactive material contained in each unprotected outdoor tank to less than or equal to ten curies, excluding tritium and dissolved or entrained noble gases.

Technical Requirements Manual 13.10.32 limits the quantity of radioactive material contained in each gas storage tank to less than or equal to 200,000 curies of noble gases (considered as Xe-133 equivalent). These limits were not exceeded during the period covered by this report.

6.5 Noncompliance with Radiological Effluent Control Requirements This section provides a listing of issues that did not comply with the applicable requirements of the Radiological Effluent Controls given in Part I of the CPSES ODCM. Detailed documentation concerning evaluations of these events and corrective actions is maintained onsite.

6.5.1 Abnormal Gaseous and Liquid Releases There were no abnormal gaseous or liquid releases during this reporting period.

6.5.2 Failure to perform a Radioactive Release Permit for the Volume Control Tank (VCT) prior to the release As part of the activities of the Spring 2002 refueling outage, the Unit 2 VCT was being prepared to be returned to service following the maintenance activities associated with the system. Operations filled the system with demineralized water, which pressurized the gas space to 28 psig as the air and nitrogen compressed. The normal allowable pressure during shutdown conditions is 5 psig. Plans were made by Operations and Chemistry to vent the excess pressure through the sample system fume hood and therefore through the monitored pathway of the primary vent stacks.

14

The ODCM treats all releases from the VCT as batch releases. All batch releases should be permitted so that dose calculations and monitor setpoints may be verified and approved prior to release of the contents of the VCT. Chemistry procedures require the initiation of a planned non-routine release permit prior to using this release pathway.

Based on the plant conditions, late in the outage and with the system refilled with demineralized water, personnel made the determination that it was not necessary to obtain the planned non-routine release permit. The VCT vent was started without a permit based on the determination that this was a maintenance activity and not a described VCT vent and the belief that there was no radiological significance to the vent.

The oncoming shift crew received turnover of the VCT vent in progress and determined there was no permit in place. The vent was immediately secured and an unplanned non-routine release permit was initiated. The permit verified that there was no impact on dose or monitor setpoints. The stack radiation monitors showed no indication of any release via the chosen VCT release pathway. There was no radiological consequence of this release onsite or to members of the public. All dose and activity data is included in this annual report.

While there was a procedural violation, there was no radiological significance associated with this failure to perform a radiological release permit prior to the VCT vent. (Smart Form 2002-1534) 6.5.3 Loss of a liquid composite sample Once a month a liquid composite sample is compiled from each Plant Effluent Tank release during the month. Part of the monthly sample is analyzed for tritium and alpha while the remainder of the sample is saved for a quarterly composite. This quarterly composite is shipped offsite for Fe-55, Sr-89, and Sr-90 analysis.

The third quarter composite was being compiled for shipment when it was discovered that the August monthly sample could not be found. The third quarter composite would not be available based on the normal method of compiling equal volumes of the three monthly samples.

In order to provide data, two different composites were made and shipped for analysis. The ratios used 15

were 50/50 July and September for one composite and 33.3/66.6 July and September for the second composite. The returned Fe-55 results were similar, 6.20E-05 uCi/cc for the first composite and 7.45E-05 uCi/cc for the second. The higher value of 7.45E-05 uCi/cc was used for release calculations as soon as it was available. This data was the best and most conservative data available for the third quarter.

Corrective actions were taken by Chemistry. These actions created locked 'composite sample storage area, cabinets in the Hot Lab and the Secondary Lab. Procedures were changed to control access to the composite samples through the Chemistry Supervisors. Unique labels were created for composite samples and approval of a supervisor is required to discard any composite sample. These actions should ensure samples are not lost in the future. (Smart Form 2002-3448) 6.6 Resin Releases to the LVW Pond A total of 460 ft3 of resin was transferred to the LVW pond during the period covered by this report. The results of the sample analyses indicate no radioactive material was transferred to the pond.

6.7 Changes to the Liquid, Gaseous, and Solid Waste Treatment Systems In accordance with the CPSES Process Control Program, Section 6.2.6.2, changes to the Radwaste Treatment Systems (liquid, gaseous and solid) should be summarized and reported to the Commission in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report if the changes implemented required a I0CFR50.59 safety evaluation.

For the reporting period of this report, no changes to the Radwaste Treatment Systems occurred that meet the reporting criteria of the Process Control Program.

6.8 Meteorological Monitoring Program In accordance with ODCM Administrative Control 6.9.1.4, a summary of hourly meteorological data, collected during 2002, is retained onsite. This data is available for review by the NRC upon request. Joint Frequency Tables are included in Attachment 8.1.

6.9 Assessment of Doses 6.9.1 Doses Due to Liquid Effluents The doses to an adult from the fish and cow-meat consumption pathways from Squaw Creek Reservoir were calculated in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM. The results of the calculations are summarized on a quarterly and annual basis in Table 7.7.

6.9.2 Doses Due to Gaseous Effluents The air dose due to gamma emissions and the air dose due to beta emissions were calculated using the highest annual average atmospheric dispersion factor at the Site Boundary location, in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM. The results of the calculations are summarized on a quarterly and annual basis in Table 7.8.

6.9.3 Dose Due to Radioiodines, Tritium and Particulates The doses to an adult, teen, child, and infant from radioiodines and particulates, for the pathways listed in Part II, Table 2.4 of the ODCM, were calculated using the highest dispersion and deposition factors, as appropriate, in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM. The results of the calculations are summarized on a quarterly and annual basis in Tables 7.9 through 7.12.

6.9.4 40CFR190 Dose Evaluation ODCM Radiological Effluent Control 3.11.4 requires dose evaluations to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR Part 190 only if the calculated quarterly or yearly doses exceed two times the applicable quarterly or annual dose limits. At no time during 2002 were any of these limits exceeded, therefore no evaluations are required.

6.9.5 Doses to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC From Activities Inside the Site Boundary Three activities are considered in this evaluation:

fishing on Squaw Creek Reservoir, recreation activities at the CPSES employee recreational area and site tours through the CPSES Visitors Center.

The highest dose occurred in the evaluation for fishing, resulting in a dose of 1.27E-4 mrem/yr. The dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC (fisherman) on Squaw Creek Reservoir was calculated based on fishing twice 17

a week, five hours each day, six months per year.

Pathways included in the calculation were gaseous inhalation and submersion. Liquid pathways are not considered since all doses are calculated at the point of circwater discharge into the lake.

The dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC engaged in recreational activities at the CPSES employee recreational park was calculated based on one visit a week, five hours each day, six months per year.

Pathways included in the calculation were gaseous inhalation, submersion and ground plane.

The dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during site tours through the CPSES Visitors Center was calculated based on two visits per year, thirty minutes each visit. Pathways included in the calculation were gaseous inhalation and submersion.

All calculations were performed in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM.

INTRODUCTION The OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) is a supporting document of the CPSES Technical Specifications. P a r t I of the ODCM contains (1) the Radioactive Effluent Controls 16 required by Technical Specification 5.5.4, (2) descriptions of the information that should be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating and Radioactive Effluent Release Reports required by Technical Specifications 5.6.2 and 5.6.3, (3) Controls for Meteorological Monitoring Instrumentation and Sealed Source Leakage, and (4) Radiological Environmental Monitoring Controls.

Part II of the ODCM describes the methodology and parameters to be used in the calculation of offsite doses due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents and in the calculation of liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation alarm/trip setpoints. Liquid and Gaseous Radwaste Treatment 112 System configurations are shown in Part II, Figures 1.1 and 2.1.

The ODCM is maintained for use as a reference guide and training document on accepted 12 methodologies and calculations. Changes in the calculation methods or parameters will be incorporated into the ODCM in order to assure that the ODCM represents the present methodology in all applicable areas. TXU Energy initiated changes to the ODCM will be implemented in accordance 20 with Section 5.5.1 of the Technical Specifications.

The ODCM follows the methodology and models suggested by NUREG-0 133 (Ref. 1) and Regulatory Guide 1.109, Revision I (Ref. 2). Simplifying assumptions have been applied in this manual where applicable to provide a more workable document for implementing the Radiological Effluent Control requirements. This simplified approach will result in a more conservative dose evaluation, but requires the least amount of time for establishing compliance with regulatory requirements.

This manual is designed to provide necessary information in order to simplify the dose calculations.

The dose calculations can be optionally expanded to several levels of effort. The complexity of the dose calculations can be expanded by several levels of effort, aiming toward a full calculation in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.109. Future changes to the ODCM may be initiated to implement more complex calculations as systems become available and are validated that can reliably, economically and properly perform these more complex calculations. A beneficial approach to 16 implementing the Radiological Effluent Control Program and Regulatory Guide 1.21 (Radioactive Effluent Release Report) requirements is to use a computerized system to determine the effluent releases and update cumulative doses.

TABLE 4.11-1 (Continued)

TABLE NOTATIONS (1) The LLD is defined, for purposes of these specifications, 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:

4.66 Sb LLD =

E

  • V
  • 2.22 x 10°
  • Y
  • exp (-XAt)

Where:

LLD = the "a priori" lower limit of detection (microCurie per unit mass or volume),

sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or o the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),

E-t the counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),

V = the sample size (units of mass or volume),

2.22 x 106 = the number of disintegrations per minute per microCurie, Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable, X - the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide (s- 1 ), and At = the elapsed time between the midpoint of sample collection and the time of counting (s).

Typical values of E, V. Y, and t should be used in the calculation.

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 iosteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

(2) A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume.

Prior to sampling for analyses, each batch shall be isolated, and then 8 thoroughly mixed by a method described in Part II of the OCM to assure representative sampling.

COMANCHE PEAK UNITS 1 AND 2 PART I 3/4-19 Rev 8 01/93

TABLE 4.1 1-1 (Continued)

TABLE NOTATIONS (3) The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification applies include the following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, and Ce-141 for 8 fission and corrosion products, and Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 for dissolved or entrained gases. Ce-144 shall also be measured, but with an LLD of 5 x 106.

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 16 in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report pursuant to Control 6.9.1.4 in the format outlined in Regulatory Guide 1.21, Appendix B, Revision 1, June 1974.

(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 nondiscrete volume, e.g., from a volume of a system that has an input flow during the continuous release.

(6) These waste streams shall be sampled and analyzed, in accordance with this table, if 7 radioactive material is detected in the LVW Pond composite samples in concentrations that exceed 10% of the limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. This sampling shall 8 continue until 2 consecutive samples from the waste stream show that the concentration of 7 radioactive materials in the waste stream is less than or equal to 10% of the limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.

(7) All flow from these waste streams shall be diverted to the Waste Water Holdup Tanks if 12 activity is present in the waste stream in concentrations that exceed 10 times the limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. Sampling and analysis of the respective Tanks or 7 sumps are not required when flow is diverted to the Waste Water Holdup Tanks.

(8) Waste Water Holdup Tanks (WWHT) shall be discharged directly to the Circulating Water 12 Discharge Tunnel when results of sample analyses indicate activity in concentrations that exceed 10 times the limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. Otherwise, 8 WWHTs may be discharged to the Low Volume Waste Pond. WWHT discharges to the 7 Circulating Water Discharge Tunnel shall be sampled and analyzed per Item I A.c of this table. 10 WWHT discharges to the LVW Pond shall be sampled and analyzed per Item I B.b of this table.

To be 7 representative of the liquid effluent, the sample volume shall be proportioned to the effluent stream discharge volume. The ratio of sample volume to effluent discharge volume shall be maintained constant for all samples taken for the composite sample.

(10) Temporary holdup tanks used to support special plant activities (e.g., Steam Generator 14 Secondary Cleaning) involving potentially radioactive systems may be transferred to the Waste Water Management System when sampled in accordance with this table and the special plant activity has been evaluated in accordance with the 50.59 process. This waste stream shall not be discharged to the Waste Water Management System if activity is present in the waste stream in concentrations that exceed 10 times the limits of 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.

(I1) Dissolved and entrained gases should be included in the analysis (including Kr-87, Kr-88, 120 Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138). There are no LLD requirements forthese gases in the LVW samples since the half life of the isotopes are relatively short with respect to the sample counting frequency. Gases are also not expected to be found in the LVW due to delay times associated with water being transported to the LVW and the open exposure of the ponds which would aid in the degasification of the liquids. One sample should be obtained monthly from the Low Volume Waste in addition to the composite sample to analyze for these noble gases. The count time for the sample should be equal to the time required to establish LLD values for the noble gas isotopes (e.g., 2000 seconds or the same count time used for effluent liquid batch releases).

TABLE NOTATIONS (1) The LLD is defined, for purposes of these specifications, 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:

4.66 sb LLD =

E - V 2.22 x 10 6

  • Y - exp (-XAt)

Where:

LLD = the "a priori" lower limit of detection (microCurie per unit mass or volume),

b = 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 x 106 = the number of disintegrations per minute per microCurie, Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable, X = the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide (sec-1), and At= the elapsed time between the midpoint of sample collection and the time of counting (s).

Typical values of E, V, Y, and at should be used in the calculation.

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 i, posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

The Alarm/Trip Setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance 8 with the methodology and parameters in Part II of the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10CFR50.

3/4.3.3.5 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases of gaseous effluents. The Alarm/Trip Setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in 8 accordance with the methodology and parameters in Part II of the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the dose rate limits of Control 3.11.2.1. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

3/4.3.3.6 METEOROLOGICAL MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the meteorological instrumentation ensures that sufficient meteorological data are available for estimating potential radiation doses to the public as a result of routine or accidental release of radioactive materials to the atmosphere. This capability is required to evaluate the need for initiating protective measures to protect the health and safety of the public and is consistent with the recommendations of the second proposed Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 1.23, "Onsite Meteorological Programs," April 1986.

The surveillance requirements of the meteorological instrumentation are 18 consistent with the recommendations of the second proposed Revision 1 to Reg.

Guide 1.23 except for the calibration requirements for the Wind Speed and Wind Direction sensors which are replaced with calibrated sensors at least once per each 12 months. The calibration interval starts when the sensor is installed provided the sensor has been vendor calibrated within two years, and the sensor has been in proper storage up to the time of installation. These controls have been shown to meet the accuracy and data recovery recommendations of the above reference version of Reg. Guide 1.23.

This limitation will ensure that leakage from Byproduct, Source, and Special Nuclear Material sources will not exceed allowable intake values.

Sealed sources are classified into three groups according to their use, with Surveillance Requirements commensurate with the probability of damage to a source in that group. Those sources which are frequently handled are required to be tested more often than those which are not. Sealed sources which are continuously enclosed within a shielded mechanism (i.e., sealed sources within radiation monitoring or boron measuring devices) are considered to be stored and need not be tested unless they are removed from the shielded mechanism.

It provides operational flexibility for releasing liquid effluents in concentrations to follow the Section II.A and II.C design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. This limitation provides reasonable assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in CONTROLLED AREAS and UNRESTRICTED AREAS will result in exposures within (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC and (2)restrictions authorized by 10 CFR 20.1301(e). The concentration limit for the dissolved or entrained noble gases is based upon the assumption that XE-135 is the controlling radionuclide and its effluent concentration in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water. This control does not affect the requirement to comply with the annual limitation of 10 CFR 20.1301 (a).

This control applies to the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents from all units at the site.

The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in liquid waste samples are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs).

Detailed discussion of the LLD and other detection limits can be found in Currie, L.A., "Lower Limit of Detection Definition and Elaboration of a Proposed Position for Radiological Effluent and Environmental Measurements," NUREG/CR-4007 (September 1984), and in the HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300.

3/4.11.1.2 DOSE This control is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A, III.A and IV.A of 10CFR50, Appendix I. The Control implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required 8 operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents to CONTROLLED AREAS and UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." Also, for fresh water sites with drinking water supplies that can be potentially affected by plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radionuclide concentrations in the finished drinking water that are in excess of the requirements of 40CFR141. The dose calculation methodology and parameters in Part II of the ODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A of 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.

3/4.11.1.3 LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Liquid Radwaste Treatment System ensures that this system will be available for use whenever liquid effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This control implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and the design objective given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the Liquid Radwaste Treatment System were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50 for liquid effluents.

This control applies to the release of radioactive materials in liquid 8 effluents from each unit at the site. The liquid effluents from the shared radwaste treatment system are proportioned equally between Unit 1 and Unit 2.

3/4.11.1.4 LVW POND RESIN INVENTORY The inventory limits of the LVW Pond are based on limiting the 8 consequences of an uncontrolled release of the pond resin inventory. The expression in Control 3.11.1.4 assumes the pond inventory is uniformly mixed, and that the pond is located in a CONTROLLED AREA as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. and that the concentration limit in Note 4 to Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 20 applies.

This expression limits the total quantity of radioactive materials in resins discharged to the LVW Pond to a value such that the average concentration in the resins, calculated over the total volume of resins in the pond, will not exceed the Effluent Concentration Limits specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2.

Column 2. Because Control 3.11.1.1 limits the concentration of liquid effluents 12 from other pathways to the LVW Pond to 10 times the 10 CFR 20 Effluent Concentration values, also limiting the average concentration in resins to the Effluent Concentration values will assure that the average concentration in the pond from all sources, calculated over the total volume of the pond (liquid and resins), will not exceed the limits of Control 3.11.1.1.

The batch limit is arbitrarily established at 10% of the 10 CFR 20, 8 Appendix B limits to minimize input of radioactive materials to the LVW Pond consistent with detection limits for the resin analysis.

The control requires 16 the preparation and submittal of a report whenever the calculated doses due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources exceed 25 mrems to the total body or any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrems. For sites containing up to four reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR Part 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose design objectives of Appendix I, and if direct radiation doses from the units (including outside storage tanks, etc.) are kept small. The 16 report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within the 40 CFR Part 190 limits.

For the purposes of the report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 8 km must be considered. If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, the report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190.11 and 10 CFR 20.2203(a)(4) and 20.2203(b), is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR Part 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Controls 3.11.1.1 and 3.11.2.1. An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation that is part of the nuclear fuel cycle. Demonstration of compliance with the limits 12 of 40 CFR Part 190 or with the design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 will be considered to demonstrate compliance with the 0.1 rem limit of 10 CFR 20.1301.

3/4.12 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 3/4.12.1 MONITORING PROGRAM The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program required by this control provides representative measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposure of MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the plant operation. This monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring, Revision 1, November 1979. The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first 3 years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.

The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs required by Table 4.12-1 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. 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.

Detailed discussion of the LLD, and other detection limits, can be found in Currie, L. A., "Lower Limit of Detection: Definition and Elaboration of a Proposed Position for Radiological Effluent and Environmental Measurements,"

NUREG/CR-4007 (September 1984), and in the HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300.

3/4.12.2 LAND USE CENSUS This control is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at or 12 beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modifications to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program are made if required by the results of this census. The best information from the door-to-door survey, from aerial survey or from consulting with local agricultural authorities shall be used.

This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 50 M2 provides assurance that significant exposure pathways 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 Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were made: (1)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/m 2.

For calculations performed pursuant to 10 CFR 12 50.36a, the concept of UNRESTRICTED AREAS, established at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY, is utilized in the Controls to keep levels of radioactive materials in liquid and gaseous effluents as low as is reasonably achievable.

The CONTROLLED AREA, as shown in Figure 5.1-3, is that area that is inside 8 the SITE BOUNDARY but is outside of any plant areas defined by the licensee as restricted areas, per the definition of restricted area in 10 CFR 20.1003.

Access to the CONTROLLED AREA is limited or controlled by the licensee. This is consistent with the definition of CONTROLLED AREA given in 10 CFR 20.1003.

6.9.1.3 A Routine Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report covering 8 the operation of the units during the previous calendar year shall be submitted prior to May 1 of each year.

The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report shall include summaries, interpretations, and an analysis of trends of the results of the radiological environmental surveillance activities for the report period, including a comparison with preoperational studies and with operational controls, as appropriate, and with previous environmental surveillance reports, and an assessment of the observed impacts of the plant operation on the environment.

The report shall also include the results of the annual Land Use Census required 12 by Control 3.12.2.

The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report shall include the 12 results of analysis of all radiological environmental samples and of all environmental radiation measurements taken during the period pursuant to the locations listed and maintained current in the results of the annual Land Use Census, as well as summarized and tabulated results of these analyses and measurements in the format of the table in the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position, Revision 1, November 1979. In the event that some individual results are not available for inclusion with the report, the report shall be submitted noting and explaining the reasons for the missing results. The missing data shall be submitted as soon as possible in a supplementary report.

The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report shall also include 12 the following: a summary description of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program; at least two legible maps** covering all sampling locations keyed to a table giving distances and directions from the centerline of one reactor; the results of participation in the Interlaboratory Comparison Program and the corrective action taken if the specified program is not being performed as required by Control 3.12.3; reasons for not conducting the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program as required by Control 3.12.1, and discussion of all deviations from the sampling schedule of Table 3.12-1; discussion of environmental sample measurements that exceed the reporting levels of Table 3.12-1; and discussion of all analyses in which the LLD required by Table 4.12-1 was not achievable.

  • A single submittal may be made for both units. 18
    • One map shall cover stations near the SITE BOUNDARY; a second shall include the more distant stations. Maps are included in the results of the annual 12 Land Use Census.

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT* 16 6.9.1.4 A routine Radioactive Effluent Release Report covering the operation of 16 the units during the previous year of operation shall be submitted prior to May 1 of each year. The period of the first report shall begin with the date of initial criticality.

The Radioactive Effluent Release Report shall include a summary of the 16 quantities of radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents and solid waste released from the unit as outlined in Regulatory Guide 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,"

Revision 1, June 1974, with data summarized on a quarterly basis following the format of Appendix B thereof. For solid wastes, the format for Table 3 in Appendix B shall be supplemented with three additional categories: class of solid wastes (as defined by 10 CFR Part 61), type of container (e.g., LSA, Type A, Type B, Large Quantity) and SOLIDIFICATION agent or absorbent (e.g., cement, urea formaldehyde).

The Radioactive Effluent Release Report shall include an annual summary of 16 hourly meteorological data collected over the previous year. This annual summary may be either in the form of an hour-by-hour listing on magnetic tape of wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric stability, and precipitation (ifmeasured), or in the form of joint frequency distributions of wind speed, wind direction, and atmospheric stability.** This same report shall include an assessment of the radiation doses due to the radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents released from the unit or station during the previous calendar year. This same report shall also include an assessment of the radiation doses from radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC due to their activities inside the SITE BOUNDARY (Figure 5.1-3) during the report period. All assumptions used in making these assessments, i.e., specific activity, exposure time, and location, shall be included in these reports. Historical average meteorological conditions or the meteorological conditions concurrent with the time of release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents, as determined by sampling frequency and measurement, shall be used for determining the gaseous pathway doses. The assessment of radiation doses shall be performed in accordance with the 8 methodology and parameters in Part II of the OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM).

  • A single submittal may be made for both units. The submittal should 12 combine those sections that are common to both units at the station.

In lieu of submission with the Radioactive Effluent Release Report, the 16 licensee has the option of retaining this summary of required meteorological data on site in a file that shall be provided to the NRC upon request.
