{{#Wiki_filter:.Ty AI PROGRAM MANUAL Offsite Dose Calculation Manual SORC Review: 04-006 Date: 2/11/04 Effective Date: A-13yOL INR*BiA~TIClN ONLY ODCM Manual Owner: Rev. 26 D. A. Robinson
ABSTRACT The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) contains details to implement the requirements of Technical Specifications 6.7.6g and 6.7.6h. The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) is divided into two parts: (1) the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program for both in-plant radiological effluent monitoring of liquids and gases, along with the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) (Part A); and (2) approved methods to determine effluent monitor setpoint values and estimates of doses and radionuclide concentrations occurring beyond the boundaries of Seabrook Station resulting from normal Station operation (Part B). The sampling and analysis requirements of the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program, specified in Part A, provide the inputs for the models of Part B in order to calculate offsite doses and radionuclide concentrations necessary to determine compliance with the dose and concentration requirements of the Station Technical Specification 6.7.6g. The REIVIP required by Technical Specification 6.7.6h, and as specified within this manual, provides the means to determine that measurable concentrations of radioactive materials released as a result of the operation of Seabrook Station are not significantly higher than expected.

PART A RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT CONTROL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) contains details to implement the Radioactive Effluent Controls and Environmental Monitoring Programs" of Technical Specifications 6.7.6g and 6.7.6h. The purpose of this manual is to contain details for the implementation of the Radioactive Effluent Technical Requirement Program (RETRP) and the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). These programs are required by Technical Specifications 6.7.6g and 6.7.6h. Part A of this manual defines specific concentrations, sampling regimes and frequencies for both the RETRP and the REMP. These activities are the defined surveillances for radiological releases. Part A also defines specific sampling locations for the RETRP. The information contained in Part A is used as input into the models that are used in Part B. The Part B models identify the calculational methods for determining radiation monitor setpoints, offsite doses and effluent concentrations of radionuclides. Part B also defines sampling locations for the REMP. The data resulting from the surveillance and monitoring programs described in Part A provide a means to confirm that concentrations of radioactive material released, as a result of routine Seabrook Station operations, do not contribute to effluent dose significantly different than as postulated in Part B. A.1-1 ODCM Rev. 24
2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES (PART A) All changes to the ODCM shall be reviewed by the Station Operation Review Committee (SORC), approved by the Station Director, and documented per Administrative Control 6.13 of the Technical Specifications. The change process is controlled by the Applicability Determination Process as controlled by the 10 CFR 50.59 Resource Manual (5059RM). Changes made to Part A shall be submitted to the NRC for its information in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change(s) was made effective, pursuant to T.S. 6.13. It shall be the responsibility of the Station Director to ensure that the ODCM is used in the performance of the Radioactive Effluent Control and Environmental Monitoring Program implementation requirements, as identified under Administrative Controls 6.7.6g and 6.7.6h of the Technical Specifications.

MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION 5.0 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION 5.1 Liquids CONTROLS C.5.1 The radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation channels shown in Table A.5.1-1 shall be OPERABLE with their Alarm/Trip Setpoints set to ensure that the limits of Control C.6.1.1 are not exceeded. The Alarm/Trip Setpoints of these chaninels shall be determined and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM), Part B. APPLICABILITY: At all times. ACTION:
- a. With a radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation channel Alarm/Trip" Setpoint less conservative than required by the above specification, immediately
; -suspend the release of radioactive liquid effluents monitored by'the affected channel,'
or declare the channel inoperable. -
- b. With less than the minimum number of radioactive liquid effluent monitoring' instrumentation channels OPERABLE, take the ACTION shown in Table A.5.1-1.
Restore the inoperable instrumentation to OPERABLE status within 30 days and, if unsuccessful, explain in the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report pursuant to Technical Specification 6.8.1.4 and Part A, Section 10.2, of the ODCM,
- why this inoperability was not corrected in a timely manner.
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS S.5.1 Each radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation channel shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by performance of the CHANNEL CHECK, SOURCE CHECK, CHANNEL CALIBRATION, and CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST at the frequencies shown in Table A.5.1-2. BASES ' The radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases of liquid effluents. The Alarm/Trip Setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM to ensure that the alanm/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 10 CFR Part 50. A.5-1 ODCM Rev. 25
I I Table A.5.1-2 Item 3a of Control C.5.1 requires that a Channel Operational Test be performed on the radioactivity monitors (RM-R-6515 and RM-R-6516) for the PCCW System. This channel operational test is a digital channel operational test and requires that it shall demonstrate automatic isolation of the pathway and control room alarm annunciation. For Seabrook Station, these two radioactivity monitoring channels provide control room annunciation, but do not provide automatic isolation of the release pathway. This particular item was discussed in detail with the NRC staff reviewers. For this particular reason, the words "But Not Termination of Release" were added to Item 3 of Table A.5.1-2. The purpose of adding the above words to Item 3 was to preclude the addition of another Table Notation to Table A.5.1-2. Therefore, the channel operational test for these monitors only requires that they provide control room alarm annunciation. The CHANNEL CHECK for Flow Rate Measurement Devices (Table A.5.1-2, items 2.a. and 2.b. ) is required "at least once per 24 hours on days when continuous, periodic, or batch releases are made." Additionally, ACTION 31 of Table A.5.I-1 is only applicable during actual releases. Based on the above requirements, these instruments are only required to be OPERABLE during actual releases. Therefore, the CHANNEL CHECK is only required during periods when continuous, periodic, or batch releases are being made. The Primary Component Cooling Water (PCCW) System is monitored by radiation monitors, which are l required by Technical Specifications 3.3.3.1 and ODCM C.5.1 to be OPERABLE, or sampling of the PCCW and Service Water (SW) Systems is required. Clarification of this requirement needs to be made for certain PCCW System conditions. Below is a list of 3 conditions and their corresponding requirements.
- 1) If the PCCW System is shut down but not drained, grab samples shall be taken of PCCW and SW, as required in Technical Specification Table 3.3-6, Items 6a and 6b (Action 28).
- 2) During transition times when the PCCW system is in the process of being drained, grab samples, as required by Technical Specification Table 3.3-6 and ODCM C.5. 1,shall be taken until such time as sampling of PCCW is no longer possible. At this time neither PCCW nor SW need to be sampled. During transition times when the PCCW system is being filled, the taking of grab samples shall commence as soon as physically possible and continue in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specifications 3.3.3.1 and ODCM C.5.1 until PCCW is in service, the pumps are operating, and monitors are operable.
- 3) When PCCW is drained, there are no sampling requirements.
The above statements are consistent with the Technical Specification definition of OPERABILITY and with the Bases for Technical Specification 3.3.3.1. A.5-2 ODCM Rev. 25
The following actions are required when the Service Waterside of the Primary Component Cooling Water (PCCW) Heat Exchanger is drained and grab samples of the Service Water System are required:
- a. Grab samples from the Service Water System will be obtained at the frequencies specified in Technical Specification 3.3.3.1 and ODCM C.5.1 as the Service Water System is being drained until obtaining these samplei is not physically possible.
- b. Grab samples are not required once the Service Water System is drained such that it is not physically possible'to obtain the samples.
- c. When refilling the Service Water System, grab samples shall resume as soon as physically possible,' at the intervals specified in the aforementioned sources, and continue until the PCCW radiation monitors (1-RM-6515 and 1-RM-6516) are OPERABLE.
Sampling of the PCCW siystem with the Service Water system drained and the PCCW system in operation shall continue per the requirements of Techfiical Specification 3.3.3.1 and this Control. The purpose of the plant radiation monitors is to sense radiation levels in selected plant systems and. locations and determine whether or not predetermined limits are being exceeded. In the case of the Primary Component Cooling Water (PCCW) loops, the-radiation monitors (I-RM-6515 and 1-RM-6516) sense radiation inthe PCCW system which could leak into the Service Water System and be discharged to the environment via the multiport diffuser. Per Control C.6.1.1, the concentration of radioactive material-released in liquid effluents at the point of discharge from the multiport diffuser must be within specified limits. This limitation provides assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in unrestricted areas will not pose a threat to the health and safety of the public. Based on the importance of maintaining radioactive effluent releases within limits that guarantee the health and safety of the public will not be at risk, the PCCW radiation monitors are required to be in operation at all times. When a radiation monitor is inoperable, grab samples from the PCCW and Service Water systems must be obtained and analyzed as a compensatory measure in accordance with Technical Specification 3.3.3.1, Table 3.3-6 Action 28 and this Control. If the service water system is drained, there is no potential for inadvertent radioactive liquid effluent release through the service water system to the environment via the multiport diffuser. Thus, when the system is drained there is no need to obtain the grab sample. However, when the system is being filled, grab samples must be obtained as soon as possible to ensure that the water discharged to the environment is in compliance with Control C.6.1.1. The purpose of the PCCW monitors is to detect radioactivity indicative of a leak from the Reactor Coolant System or from one of the other radioactive systems which exchange with the PCCW System. These monitors are required to be operable at all times. Grab samples of PCCW are required when the PCCW monitors are not operable. Since the purpose of obtaining the PCCW samples is to provide an indication of a leak of radioactive liquid into the PCCW systemn, draining of the Service Water system does not remove the reason for obtaining the PCCW grab samples. These samples shall be obtained as specified in Technical Specification 3.3.3.1 and this Control. This determination is consistent with the Bases for Technical Specification 3.3.3.1. The temporary lowering of an RDMS channel setpoint, byRDMS data base manipulation to verify alarm/trip functions, does not prevent the channel from continuously monitoring radiation levels (except WRGM). Additionally, when the setpoint is lowered below background radiation levels the associated trip functions will actuate equipment in their required operating mode as if a high radiation condition exists. The channel remains OPERABLE because monitoring and associated trip functions are not inhibited. Refer to TS-1 42 for further details. A.5-3 ODCM Rev. 25
II When the SGBD demineralizers are being rinsed to the ocean using SGBD water, the SGBD flash tank radiation monitor (RM-6519) may become inoperable in this alignment from decreased backpressure to run the monitor sample pump. If this happens, the sampling requirements of Table A.5.1-l ACTION 30 must be performed. RM-6509, although in the flowpath of the SGBD demineralizer rinse, cannot perform the function of RM-6519 because it cannot achieve the same sensitivity to radiation. However, RM-6509 shall have its setpoints established per plant procedures since the discharge flow path is through the SGBD demineralizers (where a potential to acquire radioactivity exists), but after RM-6519. If RM-6509 is inoperable, then in addition to the periodic sampling requirements of Table A.5.I-1 ACTION 30 for RM-6519, the batch sample and lineup verification of ACTION 29 would also have to be complied with, for RM-6509. It should be noted that, during a SGBD demineralizer rinse to the discharge transition structure with SB liquid, SB-FE-1918 is not in the flow path. It is acceptable to use a flow monitoring device in the final flow path (such as WL-FIT-1458) so that Table A.5.1-1 ACTION 31 does NOT have to be entered. The Note which corresponds to Table A.5.1-1 "**" states that pump performance curves generated in place "should" be used to estimate flow. Hence, there is no requirement to use the pump curves as described in these tables. A.5-4 ODCM Rev. 25

A-.5-9. ODCM Rev. 25
I I The main condenser air evacuation radiation monitor, RM-6505, is included with the Turbine Gland Seal Condenser Exhaust in Tables A.5.2-1 and A.5.2-2. Table A.5.2-1 defines the minimum channels operable and the required actions for the radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation. Table A.5.2-2 lists the surveillance requirements for this instrumentation. It is recommended that the out-of-service time for RM-6505 be tracked for reporting per C.5.2. (Reference ACR 96-197). The Plant Vent Wide Range Gas Monitor (WRGM) design includes three ranges of noble gas monitors and two ranges of iodine and particulate sampling filters. The noble gas monitor, the equipment necessary to provide flow through three ranges of the noble gas monitors, and the iodine and particulate sample filters all affect the operability of the WRGM. The various combinations of out-of-service components are addressed in this clarification. The WRGM noble gas activity monitor has three overlapping detector ranges: low, mid, and high. UFSAR Table 12.3-15 lists the following ranges for the WRGM: Low Range I 7 - 10 pCi/cc Mid Range 10i3 - I0 3 High Range 101- IO The minimum number of operable channels for the noble gas activity monitor, the flow rate monitors and the iodine sampler and particulate sampler is one, respectively. The Controls do not list the specific WRGM noble gas activity monitor, the iodine/particulate sampler or the flow rate monitor channels separately by an instrumentation identification tag number. Heat tracing of the sample lines, from the plant vent to the WRGM, is not listed as a specific requirement for WRGM operability. However, these circuits are necessary to ensure that the particulate and iodine concentration of the sample reaching the WRGM is representative of the effluent. The purpose of heat tracing is to ensure that the sample lines are free of moisture due to condensation. The low temperature alarm setpoint is variable based on outside ambient air temperature, and ensures that the sample line tubing metal temperature is high enough to prevent the moisture in the air from condensing inside of the sample line. The ability to detect of noble gases is not affected by the operational status of the heat tracing circuits. The heat tracing on the sample lines within the PAB (CP 433, circuit 55) is not required for WRGM operation. (Engineering Evaluation, SS-EV-960017) The following equipment normally defines an operational WRGM: During routine releases,
-Sample flow through one of the particulate and iodine (P&I) filters F-156-1,2,3 and channel 1 (low range) noble gas (NG) detectors using pump P-240-2, and -Sample flow through P&I filters F-156-7,8 using pump RM-P-391.
or in the event the noble gas activity is in the mid/high range,
-Sample flow through one of the particulate/iodine (P&D filters F-156-4,5,6 and channels 2 or 3 (mid/high range) NG detectors using pump P-240-1, and -Sample flow bypassing P&I filters F-156-7,8 using pump RM-P-391.
A.5-10 ODCM Rev. 25
At all times,
-Heat tracing (HT) on the sample lines from the plant vent to the WRGM.
Note: Dewpoint measurements maybe used if heat tracing is out of service. (See the following table)
-Vent stack flow rate monitor. -WRGM sample flow rate for the channel(s) in service.

Flow rate monitor and/or Comply with Action 32. sampler flow rate monitor. Action Statement 35 provides no guidance with regard to time required to initiate auxiliary sampling upon failure of a monitor. A finite time is required to take the appropriate actions to initiate auxiliary sampling. An interval of 60 minutes is a reasonable period of time in which to accomplish these actions provided that no activity occurs during this period which could result in an increase in radiation release levels. Since the intent of Action 35 is to allow continued release of gaseous effluents provided an alternate means of continuous monitoring/collection capability is on-going during the release of radioactive gaseous effluents, the 60 minute time frame for auxiliary sampling to be established is still a reasonable period of time to complete the necessary manual actions to establish auxiliary sampling. If auxiliary sampling cannot be established within 60 minutes then the initial action of immediately suspending the release of radioactive gaseous effluents should be done, as specified in Action a. of C.5.2. It should be noted that for lack of specified criteria the 60-minute time period is solely based on prudent engineering judgment for completion of manual actions in order to satisfy the intent of Action 35. Operation beyond 60 minutes without auxiliary sampling service would need to be justified by engineering calculation to ensure continued compliance with 10 CFR Part 20 limits. On those occasions when a radiation monitor or any system/component must be rendered inoperable to perform a surveillance test, the Station Management Manual (SSMM) policy regarding "the use of ACTION requirements to perform maintenance or a test" applies. When a surveillance test must be performed on the WRGM, rendering it inoperable, Action 35 cannot be fully satisfied because of the nature of testing is incompatible with the Action 35 required installation of auxiliary sampling equipment. However, because the performance of the WRGM surveillance renders it inoperable for only a short period of time (e.g., less than one hour), it is reasonable to allow the surveillance test to be performed without the installation of the auxiliary sampling equipment. It should be noted that neither C.5.2 Action a. nor Action b. requires the immediate establishment of auxiliary sampling. However, if there is concern that the results of surveillance testing activities will identify the instrumentation as inoperable then it would be prudent to set up the auxiliary sampling equipment prior to surveillance testing. The prudent action would prevent the potential situation of continued release of gaseous effluents beyond 60 minutes without continuous monitoring/collection capability. The current procedural method of collecting the grab sample from the plant vent release pathway requires the shutdown of the compensatory sampling equipment pump (for pressure equilibrium purposes) whenever a grab sample is to be withdrawn into the sample bottle. Shutting down the pump raises the question as to whether this action contradicts the "continuous collection" requirement of Action 35. Action 35 allow effluent release to continue provided samples are continuously collected (as required in Table A.7. 1-1) with auxiliary equipment whenever the number of channels OPERABLE is less than the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement. Table A.7.1-1 requires that the sampling frequency be continuous for iodine and particulate and a monthly grab sample for noble gasses (Kr and Xe). The ODCM also requires that the ratio of the sample flow rate to the sampled stream flow rate be known/determined for the time period covered by each dose or dose rate calculation made in accordance with C.7. 1.1, C.7.2. 1, and C.7.3.1 (i.e., weekly and/or monthly). A.5-12 ODCM Rev. 25
It must be noted that Action 35 pertains to the iodine and particulate samplers. For noble gas collection, Action 33 is applicable which requires grab samples be taken once per 12 hours and analyzed for radioactivity within 24 hours. Action 33 does not specify that auxiliary sampling for noble gas must be continuous; therefore, the concern for "continuous" monitoring/collection is not applicable for auxiliary sampling of noble gas. Whenever the station is operating under the auspices of Action 35 the process of collecting grab samples by the auxiliary sampling method necessitates, on occasions, the temporary disablement of permanent and/or temporary equipment (e.g., installation, and disconnection of auxiliary sampling equipmient, pressure equalization, etc.) in order to achieve and comply with the requirements of Action 35. Therefore, actions required (e.g. temporarily shutting down the sample pump in order to install / remove / equalize sample bottles, thus interrupting continuous flow) to obtain a grab sample are not considered actions that are contrary in meeting the intent of Action 35. The temporary lowering of an RDMS channel setpoint, by RDMS data base manipulation to verify alami/trip functions, does not prevent the channel from continuously monitoring radiation levels (except WRGM). Additionally, when the setpoint is lowered below background radiation levels the associated trip functions will actuate equipment in their required operating mode as if a high radiation condition exists. The channel remains OPERABLE because monitoring and associated trip functions are not inhibited. Refer to TS-142 for further details. Therefore, during performance of a RDMS channel DCOT, the LCO remains satisfied. Entering an ACTiON statement is not appropriate nor required (except for WRGM DCOT). However, because the channel is in alarm status, increased operator vigilance is required to note any increase in radiation levels during the DCOT surveillance period and to take remedial actions if required. C.5.2 ACTION Statement #33 is applied if RM-6504 is inoperable. The intent of the last sentence is that RM-6503 may be used instead of taking a grab sample. It is not intended that RM-6503 be used in place of RM-6504 and ACTION Statement #33 not entered. RM-6504 monitors the radiation level of the gas stream at the outlet of the waste gas compressors. If a high radiation level is detected, RM-6504 automatically closes WG-FV-1 602. The closing of WG-FV-1602 isolates a potential radiological release path to the environment. RM-6503, located at the inlet to the waste gas compressor, provides alarm and monitoring functions only. It does not have the ability to terminate a radiological release. -Therefore, it cannot be used as a substitute for RM-6504. C.5.2 ACTION b. permits operations to continue for up to 30 days with an inoperable instrument channel. If the inoperable instrument is not returned to OPERABLE status within this time, a report must be submitted explaining why the inoperability was not corrected in a timely manner. If RM-6503 were considered a alternate for RM-6504 then operations could continue indefinitely without the ability to automatically terminate a radiological release. This is clearly not the intent of C.5.2 ACTION Statement #33. Table A.5.2-1, Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation, specifically lists RM-6504 as the instrument required to satisfythe Limiting Condition for operation. This table also states that the monitor provide the functions of alarm and automatic termination of release.

- l l The concentration limit for dissolved or entrained noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its 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. For technical requirements associated with the release of liquid ^
effluent, the method currently in use for controlling releases of dissolved and entrained noble gases is suitable for demonstrating conformance to the requirements of the "new" 10 CFR 20, Appendix B ECL concentration limits because the 2X10 4 gCi/ml criterion is based on the "old" MPC value for Xe-135 as the driving radionuclide. Controlling liquid effluent to within the MPC values based on an instantaneous release rate (i.e., no time averaging of effluent concentrations) is considered more conservative than the requirements of the new Part 20 which have limits stated as effluent concentrations averaged over a year. In other words, if discharged dissolved and entrained noble gas concentrations remain within the instantaneous concentration limit of 2X10O4 pCi/ml during the times that discharges actually take place, then there is reasonable confidence that the annual average limits established by the ECL values will also be met. This position is based on a June 30, 1993 letter from Thomas E. Murley (then Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation) to Thomas E. Tipton of NEI, in which the NRC responded to an industry inquiry on promulgation of a new Part 20. Controls C.6.1.1 and C.5.1 provide controls to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents at the point of discharge from the multiport diffuser will be less than the concentration levels specified in 10 CER 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. As no LLD is specified for the compensatory samples taken for an inoperable PCCW Head Tank Rate of Change Monitor, the LLD for these samples must ensure that these limits are met. Although the periodic Service Water System sample is counted to an LLD of 5x10epCi/cc, the compensatory samples for inoperable SGBD Flash Tank and Turbine Building Sump Monitors are required to be counted to an LLD of lxlOepCi/cc. This more restrictive limit will ensure that the limits of 10 CFR 20 are met during periods of PCCW Head Tank Rate of Change Monitor inoperability, thereby ensuring compliance with the requirements of the respective Controls. Counting the required grab samples to an LLD of lxI0-7pCi/cc is therefore an acceptable method of complying with these requirements; it is not necessary to meet the LLD of Ixl0I OCi/cc specified as the equivalent sensitivity of the PCCW Head Tank Rate of Change Monitor.

I I BASES This Control is provided to ensure that the dose at any time at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 to UNRESTRICTED AREAS. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of I10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC in an UNRESTRICTED AREA, either within or outside the SITE BOUNDARY, to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR Part 20.1302[c]). For MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will usually be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the SITE BOUNDARY. Examples of calculations for such MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, with the appropriate occupancy factors, shall be given in the ODCM. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 mrems/year to the whole body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrems/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrems/year.

- b. Action(s) taken to restore the inoperable equipment to OPERABLE status, and
- c. Summary description of action(s) taken to prevent a recurrence.
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS S.7.4.1 Doses due to gaseous releases from each unit to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY shall be projected at least once per 31 days in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Part B of the ODCM when Gaseous Radwaste Treatment Systems are not being fully utilized. S.7.4.2 The installed VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM and GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM shall be considered OPERABLE by meeting Controls C.7. 1.1, and C.7.2. 1, or C.7.3.1. A.7-1 1 ODCM Rev. 25
BASES The OPERABILITY of the GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM and the VENTELATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM ensures that the systems will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of these systems be used, when specified, provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous 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 objectives given in Section ll.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the systems were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Sections ll.B and Il.C of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50, for gaseous effluents. A.7-12 ODCM Rev. 25
l8.0- TOTAL DOSE (JUN I KUL C.8.1.1 '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. APPLICABILITY: At all times. ACTION: With the calculated doses from the release of radioactive materials in liquid or gaseous effluents exceeding'twice the limits of Controls C.6.2.l.a, C.6.2.l.b, C.7.2.I.a, C.7.2.1.b, C.7.3.1.a, or C.7.3.l.b, calc'ulations shall be made including direct radiation contributions from the units 'arid from outside storage tanks to determine whether the aboove limits of Control C.8.1.1 have been exceeded. If such is the case, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days, pursuant to' Technical Specification 6.8.2,'a Special Report that defines the corrective action to be taken to reduce subsequent releases to prevent - recurrence of exceeding the above limits'and includes the schedule for achieving
' conformance with the above limits. This Special Report, as defined in 10 CFR 20.405(c);
shall include an analysis that estimates the radiation exposure (dose) to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from uranium fuel cycle sources, including all effluent pathways and direct radiation, for the calendar year that includes the release(s) covered by this report. It shall also describe levels of radiation and concentrations of radioactive material involved, and the cause of the exposure levels or concentrations. If the estimated dose(s) exceeds the above limits, and if the release condition resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 has not already been corrected, the Special Report shall include a request for a variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190. Submittal of the report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete. SURVEILLANCE REOUIREMENTS S.8.1.1 Cumulative dose contributions from liquid and gaseous effluents shall be determined in accordance with Surveillance Requirement S.6.2.1, S.7.2.1, and S.7.3.1, and in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Part B of the ODCM. S.8.1.2 Cumulative dose contributions from direct radiation from the units and from radwaste storage tanks shall be determined in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Part B of the ODCM. This requirement is applicable only under conditions set forth in ACTION a. of Control C.8.1.1. A.8-1 ODCM Rev. 24
BASES This Control is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190 that have been incorporated into 10 CFR Part 20 by 46FR18525. The specification requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources exceed 25 mrems to the whole 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 L and if direct radiation doses from the units (including outside storage tanks, etc.) are kept small. The Special 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 Special 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 are 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 Special 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 20.405c, 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 C.6.1.1 and C.7.1.1. 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. A.8-2 ODCM Rev. 24

ACTION: (Continued) With milk or fresh leafy vegetable samples unavailable from one or more of the sample locations required by the REMP, identify specific locations for obtaining replacement samples and add them within 30 days to the REMP given in the ODCM. The specific locations from which samples were unavailable may then be deleted from the monitoring program. Pursuant to Technical Specification 6.13, and Part A, Section 10.2, of the ODCM, submit in the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report documentation for a change in the ODCM including a revised figure(s) and table for the ODCM reflecting the new location(s) with supporting information identifying the cause of the unavailability of samples and justifying the selection of the new locations(s) for obtaining samples. SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS S.9.1.1 The radiological environmental monitoring samples shall be collected pursuant to' Table A.9.1-1 from the specific locations given in the table and figure(s) in Part B of the ODCM, and shall be analyzed pursuant to the requirements of Table A.9.1-l and the detection capabilities required by Table A.9.1-2. BASES The REMP 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 exposures of MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the plant operation. This monitoring program implements Section IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50, and thereby supplements the REMP 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. 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).

If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, effort shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report as specified in Part A, Section 10.1. It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to continue to obtain samples of the media of choice at the most desired location or time. In these instances suitable alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathway in question and appropriate substitutions made within 30 days in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. Identify the cause of the unavailability of samples for that pathway and identify the new location(s), if available, for obtaining replacement samples in the next Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report as specified in Part A, Section 10.2 and also include in the report a revised figure(s) and table for the ODCM reflecting the new location(s).

- a. 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.
- b. 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: LLD = 4.66 Sb ExVx 2.22 x10 6 x Yxexp(-Att) Where: LLD is the "a priori" lower limit of detection as defined above, as picocuries per unit mass or volume; 4.66 is a constant derived from the KaIpha and Kbt. values for the 95% confidence level; sb is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate, as counts per minute; E is the counting efficiency, as counts per disintegration; V is the sample size in units of mass or volume; 2.22 is the number of disintegrations per minute per picocurie; Y is the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable; X is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide as per second; and A t for environmental samples is the elapsed time between sample collection and time of counting, as seconds. Typical values of E, V, Y, and A t should be used in the calculation. In calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma ray spectrometry, the background shall include the typical contributions of other radionuclides normally present in the samples (e.g., Potassium-40 in milk samples). A.9-8 ODCM Rev. 26 l
TABLE A.9.1-2 DETECTION CAPABILITIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLE ANALYSIS (Continued) Table Notations (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. This does not preclude the calculation of an a posteriori LLD for a particular measurement based upon the actual parameters for the sample in question and appropriate decay correction parameters such as decay while sampling and during analysis. 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 LL.Ds unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors shall be identified and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report per Part A, Section 10.1.
- c. Parent only. -
- d. The Ba-140 LLD and concentration can be determined by the analysis of its short-lived daughter product La-140 subsequent to an eight-day period following collection. The calculation shall be predicated on the normal ingrowth equations for a parent-daughter situation and the assumption that any unsupported La-140 in the sample would have decayed to an insignificant amount (at least 3.6% of its original value). The ingrowth equations will assume that the supported La-140 activity at the time of collection is zero.
- e. Broad leaf vegetation only.
- f. If the measured concentration minus the three standard deviation uncertainty is found to exceed the specified LLD, the sample does not have to be analyzed to meet the specified LLD.'
- g. Required detection capabilities for thermoluminescent dosimeters used for environmental measurements shall be in accordance with recommendations of Regulatory Guide 4.13, Revision 1, July 1977.

APPLICABILlTY: At all times.. ACTION
- a. With a Land Use Census identifying a location(s) that yields a calculated'dose or dose commitment greater than the values currently being calculated in Surveillance S.7.3.1 pursuant to Technical Specification 6.8.1.4 and Part A, Section 10.2, of the ODCM, identify the new location(s) in the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
- b. With a Land Use Census identifying a location(s) that yields a calculated dose or dose commitment (via the same exposure pathway) 20% greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained in accordance with Control C.9. 1.1,add the new location(s) within 30 days to the REMP given in the ODCM, if permission from the owner to collect samples can be obtained and sufficient sample volume is available. The sampling location(s), excluding the Control station location, having the lowest calculated dose or dose commitment(s),
via the same exposure pathway, may be deleted from this monitoring program after October 31 of the year in which this Land Use Census was conducted. Pursuant to Technical Specification 6.13 and Part A, Section 10.2 of the ODCM, submit in the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report documentation for a change in the ODCM including a revised figure(s) and table(s) for the ODCM reflecting the new location(s) with information supporting the change in sampling locations. SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS S.9.2.1 The Land Use Census shall be conducted during the growing season at least once per 12 months using a method such as by a door-to-door survey, aerial survey, or by consulting local agriculture authorities, as described in the ODCM. The results of the Land Use Census shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Part A, Section 10.1 of the ODCM.
- Broad leaf vegetation sampling of at least three different kinds of vegetation may be performed at the SITE BOUNDARY in each of two different direction sectors with the highest predicted relative deposition values (D/Qs) in lieu of the garden census. Specifications for broad leaf vegetation sampling in the REMP shall be followed, including analysis of control samples.
A.9-11 ODCM Rev. 26 l
I i BASES This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modifications to the REMP given in the ODCM are made if 0 required by the results of this census. Information from methods such as the door-to-door survey, from aerial survey, of 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) there was a vegetation yield of 2 kg/m 2 .

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) contains details to implement Radioactive Effluent Controls and Environmental Monitoring Program as required by Technical Specifications 6.7.6g and 6.7.6h. Part B of the ODCM provides formal and approved methods for the calculation of off-site concentration, off-site doses and effluent monitor setpoints, and indicates the locations of environmental monitoring stations in order to comply with the Seabrook Station Radioactive Effluent Controls Program (RECP), and Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) detailed in Part A of the manual. The ODCM forms the basis for station procedures which document the off-site doses due to station operation which are used to show compliance with the numerical guides for design objectives of Section II of Appendix I to I OCFR Part 50. The methods contained herein follow accepted NRC guidance, unless otherwise noted in the text. The references to 10 CFR Part 20 in Part B of the ODCM refer to revisions of 10 CFR Part 20 published prior to I January 1993. The decision to continue the use of the "old" version of 10 CFR Part 20 is based on an NRC letter dated June 30, 1993, from Thomas E. Murley to Thomas E. Tipton. For the convenience of the plant staff a copy of 10 CFR Part 20 (Rev. 1, January 1992) has been included in Appendix B. 1.1 Responsibilities for Part B All changes to the ODCM shall be reviewed by the Station Operation Review Committee (SORC), approved by the Station Director, and documented in accordance with Technical Specification 6.13. The change process is controlled by the Applicability Determination Process as controlled by the 10 CFR 50.59 Resource Manual (5059RM). Changes made to Part B shall be submitted to the Commission for their information in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change(s) was made effective. It shall be the responsibility of the Station Director to ensure that the ODCM is used in the performance of surveillance requirements and administrative controls in accordance with Technical Specifications 6.7.6g and 6.7.6h, and Effluent Control Program and Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program detailed in Part A of the manual. In addition to off-site dose calculations for the demonstration of compliance with Technical Specification dose limits at and beyond the site boundary, 10 CFR 20.1302 requires that compliance with the dose limits for individual members of the public (100 mrem/yr total effective dose equivalent) be demonstrated in controlled areas on-site. Demonstration of compliance with the dose limits to members of the public in controlled areas is implemented per Health Physics Department Procedures, and is outside the scope of the ODCM. However, calculations performed in accordance with the ODCM can be used as one indicator of the need to perform an assessment of exposure to members of the public within the site boundary. Since external direct exposure pathways are already subject to routine exposure rate surveys and measurements, only the inhalation pathway need be assessed. The accumulated critical organ dose at the site boundary, as calculated per ODCM Part B Sections 3.9 and 3.1 1, can be used as an indicator of when additional assessments of on-site exposure to members of the public is advisable (see Section 3.11.2). Off-site critical organ doses from station effluents should not, however, be the only indicator of potential on-site doses. B.1-1 ODCM Rev. 25
1.2 Summary of Methods, Dose Factors, Limits, Constants, Variables and Definitions This section summarizes the Method I dose equations which are used as the primary means of demonstrating compliance with RECP. The concentration and setpoint methods are identified in Table B.1-2 through Table B.1-7. Appendix C provides documentation for an alternate computerized option, designated as Method IA in the ODCM, for calculating doses necessary to demonstrate compliance with RECP. The Effluent Management System (EMS) software package used for this purpose is provided by Canberra Industries, Inc. Where more refined dose calculations are needed, the use of Method II dose determinations are described in Sections 3.2 through 3.9 and 3.11. The dose factors used in the equations are in Tables B.1-lO through B.1-14 and the Regulatory limits are summarized in Table B.1-1. The variables and special definitions used in this ODCM, Part B, are in Tables B.1-8 and B.A-9. ( .. B.I-~2 ODCM Rev. 25

TABLE B.1 -9 DEFINITION OF TERMS Critical Receptor - A hypothetical or real individual whose location and behavior cause him or her to receive a dose greater than aniy other possible real individual. Dose - As used in Regulatory Guide 1.109, the term "dose," when applied to individuals, is used instead of the more precise term "dose equivalent," as defined by the International Commission on Radiological Units and Measurements (ICRU). When applied to the evaluation of internal deposition or radioactivity, the term "dose," as used here, includes the prospective dose component arising from retention in the body beyond the period of environmental exposure, i.e., the dose commitment. The dose commitment is evaluated over a period of 50 years. The dose is measured in mrem to tissue or mrad to air.

2.0 METHOD TO CALCULATE OFF-SITE LIQUID CONCENTRATIONS Chapter 2 contains the basis for station procedures used to demonstrate compliance with ODCM Part A Control C.6.1 A, which limits the total fraction of ECL in liquid pathways, other than noble gases (denoted here as F ENG
) at the point of discharge from the station to the environment (see Figure B.6-1).
F is limited to less than or equal to one, i.e., F EVG 1. The total concentration of all dissolved and entrained noble gases at the point of discharge from the multiport diffuser from all station sources combined, denoted CN0 , is limited to 2E-04 pCi/mil, i.e., C < 2E-04 pCi/ml. Appendix C, Attachments 3 and 4, provide the option and bases for the use of the EMS determination of liquid concentration limits for plant discharges to the environment. 2.1 Method to Determine FENG AND CING First, determine the total fraction of ECL (excluding noble gases), at the point of discharge from the station from all significant liquid sources denoted F, NG; and then separately determine the total concentration at the point of discharge of all dissolved and entrained noble gases from all station sources, denoted ClG j as follows: FzrG = <10 (2-1) ECLl'i C pCi/mi pCilml) and: Cl C 2E-04 (2-2) (,uCi/ml) ([tCi/ml) (,uCi/ml) where:. IF. = Total fraction of ECL in liquids, excluding noble gases, at the point of discharge from the multiport difuser. B.2-1 ODCM Rev. 25
I I Cp; = Concentration at point of discharge from the multiport diffuser of radionuclide "i", except for dissolved and entrained noble gases, from all tanks and other significant sources, p, from which a discharge may be made (including the waste test tanks and any other significant source from which a discharge can be made). Cpi is determined by dividing the product of the measured radionuclide concentration in liquid waste test tanks, PCCW, steam generator blowdown, or other effluent streams times their discharge flow rate by the total available dilution water flow rate of circulating and service water at the time of release (Aci/m1). ECL, = Effluent concentration limit (ECL) for radionuclide "i" (except for dissolved and entrained noble gases) in igCi/ml as specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2. See Appendix B for a list of ECL values. C1NG = Total concentration at point of discharge of all dissolved and entrained noble gases in liquids from all station sources (gCi/ml) CliNG = Concentration at point of discharge of dissolved and entrained noble gas "i" in liquids from all station sources (pCi/ml) 2.2 Method to Determine Radionuclide Concentration for Each Liquid Effluent Source 2.2.1 Waste Test Tanks Cpj is determined for each radionuclide detected from the activity in a representative grab sample of any of the waste test tanks and the predicted flow at the point of discharge. The batch releases are normally made from two 25,000-gallon capacity waste test tanks. These tanks normally hold liquid waste which may have been processed through the installed vendor equipment. The waste test tanks can also contain other waste such as liquid taken directly from the floor drain/chemical drain treatment tanks when that liquid does not require processing in the evaporator, from the installed vendor resin skid, distillate from the boron recovery evaporator when the BRS evaporator is substituting for the waste evaporator, or waste distillate from the Steam Generator Blowdown System when that system must discharge liquid off site. If testing indicates that purification of the waste test tank contents is required prior to release, the liquid can be circulated through the waste demineralizer and filter. The contents of the waste test tank may be reused in the Nuclear System if the sample test meets the purity requirements. Prior to discharge, each waste test tank is analyzed for principal gamma emitters in accordance with the liquid sample and analysis program outlined in Part A to the ODCM. B.2-2 ODCM Rev. 25
2.2.2 Turbine Building Sump The Turbine Building sump collects leakage from the Turbine Building floor drains and discharges the liquid unprocessed to the circulating water system. Sampling of this potential source is normally done once per week for determining the radioactivity released to the environment (see Table A.6.I-1). 2.2.3 Steam Generator Blowdown Flash Tank The primary method to process radioactive secondary liquid from the steam generators is to direct steam blowdown flash tank bottoms cooler discharge to the floor drain tanks. If no secondary pressure is available, the steam blowdown and wet lay-ups pumps can be used. From the floor drain tanks, processing through the installed vendor resin skid (WLSKD-135) to the waste test tanks is the preferred method. Othermethods maybe used as defined below. The steam generator blowdown evaporators may process the liquid from the steam generator blowdown flash tank when there is primary to secondary leakage. Distillate from the evaporators can be sent to the waste test tanks or recycled to the condensate system. When there is no primary to secondary leakage, flash tank liquid is processed through the steam generator blowdown demineralizers and returned to the secondary side. Steam generator blowdown is only subject to sampling and analysis when all or part of the blowdown liquid is being discharged to the environment instead of the nornal recycling process (see Table A.6.1-1). 2.2.4 PrimarM Component Cooling Water (PCCW) System The PCCW System is used to cool selected primary components. The system is normally sampled weekly to determine if there is any radwaste in-leakage. If leakage has been determined, the Service Water System is sampled to determine if any release to the environment has occurred. B.2-3 ODCM Rev. 25
3.0 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION METHODS Chapter 3 provides the basis for station procedures required to meet the Radiological Effluent Control Program (RECP) dose and dose rate requirements contained in ODCM Part A Controls. A simple, conservative method (called Method I) is listed in Tables B.1-2 to B. 1-7 for each of the requirements of the RECP. Each of the Method I equations is presented in Part B, Sections 3.2 through 3.9. As an alternate to Method I,'the EMS computer program documented in Appendix C can be used to determine regulatory compliance for effluent doses and dose rates. The use of the EMS software is designated as Method IA in Chapter 3. In addition, those sections include more sophisticated methods (called Method B) for use when more refined results are needed; This chapter provides the methods, data, and reference material with which the operator can calculate the needed doses, dose rates and setpoints. For the requirements to demonstrate compliance with Part A off-site dose limits, the contribution from all measured ground level releases must be added to the calculated contribution from the vent stack to determine the Station's total radiological impact. The bases for the dose and dose rate equations are given in Chapter 7.0. Method IA bases and software verification documentation are contained in Appendix C. The Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, to be filed after January 1 each year per Technical Specification 6.8.1.4, and Part A, Section 10.2, requires that meteorological conditions concurrent with the time of release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents, as determined by sampling frequency and measurement, be used for determining the gaseous pathway doses. For continuous release sources (i.e.,- plant vent, condenser air removal exhaust, and gland steam packing exhauster), concurrent quarterly average meteorology will be used in the dose calculations along with the quarterly total radioactivity released. For batch releases or identifiable operational activities (i.e., containment purge or venting to atmosphere of the Waste Gas System), concurrent meteorology during the period of release will be used to determine dose if the total noble gas or iodine and particulates released in the batch exceeds five percent of the total quarterly radioactivity released from the unit; otherwise quarterly average meteorology will be applied. Quarterly average meteorology will also be applied to batch releases if the hourly met data for the period of batch release is unavailable. Annual dose assessment reports prepared in accordance with the requirements of the ODCM will include a statement indicating that the appropriate portions of Regulatory Guide 1.109 (as identified in the individual subsections of the ODCM for each class of effluent exposure) have been used to determine dose impact from station releases. Any deviation from the methodology, assumptions, or parameters given in Regulatory Guide 1.109, and not already identified in the bases of the ODCM, will be explicitly described in the effluent report, along with the bases for the deviation. B.3-1. ODCM Rev. 25
II 3.1 Introductory Concepts In Part A Controls, the RECP limits for dose or dose rate are stated. The term "dose" for ingested or inhaled radioactivity means the dose comrnmitment, measured in mrem, which results from the exposure to radioactive materials that, because of uptake and deposition in the body, will continue to expose the body to radiation for some period of time after the source of radioactivity is stopped. The time frame over which the dose commitment is evaluated is 50 years. The phrases "annual dose" or "dose in one year" then refers to the 50-year dose commitment resulting from exposure to one year's worth of releases. "Dose in a quarter" similarly means the 50-year dose commitment resulting from exposure to one quarter's releases. The term "dose," with respect to external exposures, such as to noble gas clouds, refers only to the doses received during the actual time period of exposure to the radioactivity released from the plant. Once the source of the radioactivity is removed, there is no longer any additional accumulation to the dose commitment.
"Dose rate" is the total dose or dose commitment divided by exposure period. For example, an individual who is exposed via the ingestion of milk for one year to radioactivity from plant gaseous effluents and receives a 50-year dose commitment of 10 mrem is said to have been exposed to a dose rate of 10 mrem/year, even though the actual dose received in the year of exposure may be less than 10 mrem.
In addition to limits on dose commitment, gaseous effluents from the station are also controlled so that the maximum or peak dose rates at the site boundary at any time are limited to the equivalent annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 to unrestricted areas (if it were assumed that the peak dose rates continued for one year). These dose rate limits provide reasonable assurance that members of the public, either inside or outside the site boundary, will not be exposed to annual averaged concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 0 10 CFR Part 20. See Appendix B for a listing of these concentration limits. The quantities AD and D are introduced to provide calculable quantities, related to off-site doses or dose rates that demonstrate compliance with the RETS. Delta D, denoted AD, is the quantity calculated by the Part B, Chapter 3, Method I dose equations. It represents the conservative increment in dose. The AD calculated by Method I equations is not necessarily the actual dose received by a real individual, but usually provides an upper bound for a given release because of the conservative margin built into the dose factors and the selection and definition of critical receptors. The radionuclide specific dose factors in each Method I dose equation represent the greatest dose to any organ of any age group. (Organ dose is a function of age because organ mass and intake are functions of age.) The critical receptor assumed by "Method I" equations is then generally a hypothetical individual whose behavior - in terms of location and intake - results in a dose which is higher than any real individual is likely to receive. Method IA dose calculations using the EMS software evaluate each age group and organ combination to determine the maximum organ dose for each mix of radionuclides specified in a release period. Method II also allows for a more exact dose calculation for each individual if necessary. B.3-2 ODCM Rev. 25
D dot, denoted D, is the quantity calculated in the Part B, Chapter 3 dose rate equations. It is calculated using the station's effluent monitoring system reading and an annual or long-term average atmospheric dispersion factor. D predicts the maximum off-site annual dose if the peak observed radioactivity release rate from the plant stack continued for one entire year. Since peak release rates, or resulting dose rates, are usually of short time duration on the order of an hour or less, this approach then provides assurance that 10 CER 20.106 limits will be met. Each of the methods to calculate dose or dose rate is presented in the following subsections. Each dose type has two levels of complexity. Method I is the simplest and contains many conservative factors. As an alternate to Method I the EMS computer program documented in Appendix C cani be used to determine regulatory compliance for effluent doses and dose rates. The use of the EMS system is designated as Method IA in Chapter 3 of Part B. Method II is a more realistic analysis which makes use of the models in Regulatory Guide 1. 109 (Revision 1), as noted in each subsection of Part B, Chapter 3 for the various exposure types. A detailed description of the methodology,- assumptions, and input parameters to the dose models that are applied in each Method II calculation, if not already explicitly described in the ODCM, shall be documented and provided when this option is used for NRC reporting and ODCM, Part A RECP dose compliance.

l L 3.2 Method to Calculate the Total Body Dose from Liquid Releases Part A Control C.6.2.1 limits the total body dose commitment to a member of the public from radioactive material in liquid effluents to 1.5 mrem per quarter and 3 mrem per year per unit. Part A Control C.6.3.1 requires liquid radwaste treatment when the total body dose estimate exceeds 0.06 mrem in any 31 -day period. Part A Control C.8. 1.1 limits the total body dose commitment to any real member of the public from all station sources (including liquids) to 25 mrem in a year. Use Method I or Method IA first to calculate the maximum total body dose from a liquid release from the station as it is simpler to execute and more conservative than Method I. Use Method II if a more refined calculation of total body dose is needed, i.e., Method I or Method IA indicates the dose might be greater than Part A Control limits. To evaluate the total body dose, use Equation 3-1 to estimate the dose from the planned release and add this to the total body dose accumulated from prior releases during the month. See Part B, Section 7.1.1 for basis. 3.2.1 Method I The total body dose from a liquid release is: Dth = kZ Qi DFLib (3-1) (mrem) = ( ) Ci) where DFL", = Site-specific total body dose factor (mrem/QCi) for a liquid release. It is the highest of the four age groups. See Table B.1-11. Qi = Total activity (pCi) released for radionuclide "i". (For strontiums, use the most recent measurement available.) k = 918/Fd; where Fd is the average (typically monthly average) dilution flow of the Circulating Water System at the point of discharge from the multiport diffuser (in &/sec). For normal operations with a cooling water flow of 918 ft3 /sec, k is equal to 1. During periods when no or low flow is recorded from the Discharge Transition Structure (DTS), a minimum dilution flow of 23 ft3 /sec (10,500 gpm for one service water pump) can be used since this would be the minimum flow available when discharges to the tunnel are reestablished. Alternately, the monthly average discharge flow for the period in which the release occurs can be used when this value is available. B.3-4 ODCM Rev. 25
3.2 Method to Calculate the Total Body Dose from Liquid Releases 3.2.1 Method I (Continued). Equation 3-1 can be applied under the following conditions (otherwise, justify Method I or consider Method II):
- 1. Liquid releases via the multipart diffuser to unrestricted areas (at the edge of the initial mixing or prompt dilution zone that corresponds to a factor of 10 dilution), and
- 2. Any continuous or batch release over any time period up to 1 year. For annual dose estimates, the annual average discharge flow from the DTS should be used as the dilution flow estimate. - -
Method IA is implemented by the EMS software as described in Appendix C. Liquid release models are detailed in sections 2.1 - 2.6 of the EMS Technical Reference Manual (Attachment 4 of Appendix C). 3.2.2 Method II Method II consists of the models, input data and assumptions (bioaccumulation factors, shore-width factor, dose conversion factors, and transport and buildup times) in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. I (Reference A), except where site-specific data or assumptions have been identified in the ODCM. The general equations (A-3 and A-7) taken from Regulatory Guide 1.109, and used in the derivation of the simplified Method I approach as described in the Bases section, are also applied to Method II assessments, except that doses calculated to the whole body from radioactive effluents are evaluated for each of the four age groups to determine the maximum whole body dose of an age-dependent individual via all existing exposure pathways. Table B.7-1 lists the usage factors of Method II calculations. As noted in Section B.7.1, the mixing ratio associated with the edge of the I IF surface isotherm above the multiport diffuser may be used in Method II calculations for the shoreline exposure pathway (Mp = 0.025). Aquatic food ingestion pathways shall limit credit taken for mixing zone dilution to the same value assumed in Method I (MP= 0.10). B.3-5 ODCM Rev. 25
l L 3.3 Method to Calculate Maximum Organ Dose from Liquid Releases Part A Control C.6.2.1 limits the maximum organ dose commitment to a Member of the Public from radioactive material in liquid effluents to 5 mrem per quarter and 10 mrem per year per unit. Part A Control C.6.3.1 requires liquid radwaste treatment when the maximum organ dose projected exceeds 0.2 mrem in any 31 days (see Part B, Subsection 3.11 for dose projections). Part A Control C.8.1.1 limits the maximum organ dose commitment to any real member of the public from all station sources (including liquids) to 25 mrem in a year except for the thyroid, which is limited to 75 mrem in a year. Use Method I or Method IA first to calculate the maximum organ dose from a liquid release to unrestricted areas (see Figure B.6-1) as it is simpler to execute and more conservative than Method II. Use Method II if a more refined calculation of organ dose is needed, i.e., Method I or Method IA indicates the dose may be greater than the limit. Use Equation 3-2 to estimate the maximum organ dose from individual or combined liquid releases. See Part B, Section 7.1.2 for basis. 3.3.1 Method I The maximum organ dose from a liquid release is: D,= k Qj DFL, (3-2) (mrem) =() Ci) F where DFLj, = Site-specific maximum organ dose factor (mrem/pCi) for a liquid release. It is the highest of the four age groups. See Table B.1-11 . Q = Total activity (pQCi) released for radionuclide "i". (For composited analyses of strontiums, use the most recent measurement available.) k = 918/Fd; where Fd is the average (typically monthly average) dilution flow of the Circulating Water System at the point of discharge from the multiport diffuser (in ft3 /sec). For normal operations with a cooling water flow of 918 ft 3 /sec, k is equal to l. During periods when no or low flow is recorded from the Discharge Transition Structure (DTS), a minimum dilution flow of 23 ft3 /sec (10,500 gpm for one service water pump) can be used since this would be the minimum flow available when discharges to the tunnel are reestablished. Alternately, the monthly average discharge flow for the period in which the release occurs can be used when this value is available. B.3-6 ODCM Rev. 25
3.3 Method to Calculate Maximum Organ Dose from Liquid Releases 3.3.1 Method I (Continued) Equation 3-2 can be applied under the following conditions (otherwise, justify Method I or consider Method A):
- 1. Liquid releases via the multiport diffuser to unrestricted areas (at the edge of the initial mixing or prompt dilution zone that corresponds to a factor of 10 dilution), and
- 2. -Anycontinuous or batch release over any time period up to 1 year. For annual dose estimates, the annual average discharge flow from the DTS should be used as the dilution flow estimate.
Method IA is implemented by the EMS software as described in Appendix C. Liquid release models are detailed in sections 2.1 - 2.6 of the EMS Technical Reference Manual (Attachment 4 of Appendix C). 3.3.2 Method II Method II consists of the models, input data and assumptions (bioaccumulation factors, shore-width factor, dose conversion factors, 'and transport and buildup times) in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1 (Reference A), except where site-specific data or assumptions have been identified in the ODCM. The general equations (A-3 and A-7) taken from Regulatory Guide 1.109, and used in the derivation of the simplified Method I approach as described in the Bases section, are also applied to Method HI assessments, except that doses calculated to critical organs from radioactive effluents are evaluated for each of the four age groups to determine the maximum critical organ of an age-dependent individual via all existing exposure pathways. Table B.7-1 lists the usage factors for Method II calculations. As noted in Section B.7.1, the mixing ratio associated with the edge of the 1PF surface isotherm above the multiport diffuser may be used in Method II calculations for the shoreline exposure pathway (Mp = 0.025). Aquatic food ingestion pathways shall limit credit taken for mixing zone dilution to the same value assumed in Method I (Mp = 0.10). 7. B.3-7 ODCM Rev. 25
I I 3.4 Method to Calculate the Total Body Dose Rate from Noble Gases Part A Control C.7.1.1 limits the dose rate at any time to the total body from noble gases at any location at or beyond the site boundary to 500 mrem/year. The Part A Control indirectly limits peak release rates by limiting the dose rate that is predicted from continued release at the peak rate. By limiting Db to a rate equivalent to no more than 500 mrem/year, we assure that the total body dose accrued in any one year by any member of the general public is less than 500 mrem. Use Method I or Method IA first to calculate the Total Body Dose Rate from the peak release rate via the station vents or ground level effluent release points. Method I applies at all release rates. Use Method II if a more refined calculation of Dd, is desired by the station (i.e., use of actual release point parameters with annual or actual meteorology to obtain release-specific XIQs) or if Method I or Method IA predicts a dose rate greater than the Part A Control limit to determine if it had actually been exceeded during a short time interval. See Part B, Section 7.2.1 for basis. Compliance with the dose rate limits for noble gases are continuously demonstrated when effluent release rates are below the plant vent noble gas activity monitor alarm setpoint by virtue of the fact that the alarm setpoint is based on a value which corresponds to the off-site dose rate limit, or a value below it. Determinations of dose rate for compliance with Part A Control are performed when the effluent monitor alarm setpoint is exceeded, or as required by the Action Statement (Part A Control C.5.2, Table A.5.2-1) when the monitor is inoperable. 3.4.1 Method I The Total Body Dose Rate to an off-site receptor due to noble gases in effluents released via the plant vent can be determined as follows: D d,(e) = 0.85 * (0 W
- DFBI) (3-3a) mrem (pCi - sec) (pCi) (mren -m3 yr .pci-m) 3sec pCi-yr )
where D = The off-site total body dose rate (mrem/yr) due to noble gases in elevated effluent tb(e) releases, Q = the release rate at the station vents (IiCi/sec), for each noble gas radionuclide, "i", shown in Table B.1-10, and DFB; = total body gamma dose factor (see Table B.l-10). The Total Body Dose Rate (to an off-site receptor) due to noble gas in ground level effluent releases can be determined as follows: B.3-8 ODCM Rev. 25

For the special on-site receptor locations, the Science & Nature Center and the "Rocks," the total body dose rates due to noble gases in effluent discharges can be determined as follows: For the Science & Nature Center, elevated effluent release: DbE(.) = 0.0015 * (Qj *DFBi) (3-3c) i For the Science & Nature Center, ground level effluent release: DzbEw = 0.0074 * (* O

B.3-9 ODCM Rev. 25
I L Equations 3-3a through 3-3f can be applied under the following conditions (otherwise, justify Method I or consider Method II):
- 1. Normal operations (nonemergency event), and
- 2. Noble gas releases via any station vent to the atmosphere.
Method IA is implemented by the EMS software as described in Appendix C. Gaseous release models are detailed in Section 6.7.3 of the EMS Software Requirements Specification (Attachment 3 of Appendix C). 3.4.2 Method II Method II consists of the model and input data (whole body dose factors) in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. I (Reference A), except where site-specific data or assumptions have been identified in the ODCM. The general equation (B-8) taken from Regulatory Guide 1.109, and used in the derivation of the simplified Method I approach as described in the Bases section, is also applied to a Method II assessment. No credit for a shielding factor (SF) associated with residential structures is assumed. Concurrent meteorology with the release period may be utilized for the gamma atmospheric dispersion factor identified in ODCM Equation 7-3 (Part B, Section 7.2.1), and determined as indicated in Part B, Section 7.3.2 for the release point (either ground level or vent stack) from which recorded effluents have been discharged.

3.5 METHOD TO CALCULATE THE SKIN DOSE RATE FROM NOBLE GASES Part A Control C.7.1.1 limits the dose rate at any time to the skin from noble gases at any location at or beyond the site boundary to 3,000 mrem/year. The Pait A Control indirectly limits peak release rates by limiting the dose rate that is predicted from continued release at the peak rate. By limiting ])ski, to a rate equivalent to no more than 3,000 mrem/year, we assure that the skin dose accrued in any one year by any member of the general public is less than 3,000 mrem. Since it can be expected that the peak release rate on which f),k, j1s derived would not be exceeded without corrective action being taken to lower it, the resultant average release rate over the year is expected to be considerably less than the peak release rate. Use Method I or Method IA first to calculate the Skin Dose Rate from peak release rate via station vents. Method I applies at all release rates. Use Method II if a more refined calculation of Dkil is desired by the station (i.e., use of actual release point parameters with afnnual or actual meteorology to obtain release-specific X/Qs) or if Method I or Method IA predicts a dose rate greater than the Part A Control limit to determine if it had actually been exceeded during a short time interval. See Part B, Section 7.2.2 for basis. Compliance with the dose rate limits for noble gases are continuously demonstrated when effluent release rates are below the plant vent noble gas activity monitor alarm setpoint by virtue of the fact that the alarm setpoint is based on a value which corresponds to the off-site dose rate limit, or a value below it. Determinations of dose rate for compliance with Part A Controls are performed when the effluent monitor alarm setpoint is exceeded. 3.5.1 Method I For an off-site receptor and elevated effluent release, the Skin Dose Rate due to noble gases is: DsdDe) = E (

Concurrent meteorology with the release period may be utilized for the gamma atmospheric dispersion factor and undepleted atmospheric dispersion factor identified in ODCM Equation 7-8 (Part B, Section 7.2.2), and determined as indicted in Part B, Sections 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 for the release point (either ground level or vent stack) from which recorded effluents have been discharged.

3.6 Method to Calculate the Critical Organ Dose Rate from Iodines, Tritium and Particulates with Tin Greater Than 8 Days Part A Control C.7.1.1 limits the dose rate at any time to any organ from 131I, 133i, 3 H and radionuclides in particulate form with half lives greater than 8 days to 1500 mremlyear to any organ. The Part A Control indirectly limits peak release rates by limiting the dose rate that is predicted from continued release at the peak rate. By limiting Dlo to a rate equivalent to no more than 1500 mremlyear, we assure that the critical organ dose accrued in any one year by any member of the general public is less than 1500 rmrem. Use Method I or Method IA first to calculate the Critical Organ Dose Rate from the peak release rate via the station vents. Method I applies at all release rates. Use Method II if a more refined calculation of f). is desired by the station (i.e., use of actual release point parameters with annual or actual meteorology to obtain release-specific X/Qs) or if Method I or Method IA predicts a dose rate greater than the Part A Control limit to determine if it had actually been exceeded during a short time interval. See Part B, Section 7.2.3 for basis. 3.6.1 Method I The Critical Organ Dose Rate to an off-site receptor and elevated release conditions can be determined as follows: Dco(e) (Q *DFG') (3-5a) (mremj = (iCij * (mrem-secj yr ) Sec J ui-yr where D<.) = The off-site critical organ dose rate (mrem/yr) due to iodine, tritium, and particulates in an elevated release,
= the activity release rate at the station vents of radionuclide "i" in JiCi/sec (i.e.,
total activity measured of radionuclide "i" averaged over the time period for which the filter/charcoal sample collector was in the effluent stream. For i = Sr89 or Sr90, use the best estimates, such as most recent measurements), and DFG ico(e) = the site-specific critical organ dose rate factor (- s )for an elevated gaseous release (See Table B.1-12). B.3-15 ODCM Rev. 25
I I For an off-site receptor and ground level release, the critical organ dose rate can be determined as follows:

II Equations 3-5a through 3-Sf can be applied under the following conditions (otherwise, justify Method I or consider Method II):
- 1. Normal operations (not emergency event), and
- 2. Tritium, I-131 and particulate releases via monitored station vents to the atmosphere.
Method IA is implemented by the EMS software as described in Appendix C. Gaseous release models are detailed in Section 6.7.3 of the EMS Software Requirements Specification (Attachment 3 of Appendix C). 3.6.2 Method I[ Method II consists of the models, input data and assumptions in Appendix C of Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1 (Reference A), except where site-specific data or assumptions have been identified in the ODCM (see Tables B.7-2 and B.7-3). The critical organ dose rate will be determined based on the location (site boundary, nearest resident, or farm) of receptor pathways as identified in the most recent annual land use census, or by conservatively assuming the existence of all pathways (ground plane, inhalation, ingestion of stored and leafy vegetables, milk, and meat) at an off-site location of maximum potential dose. Concurrent meteorology with the release period may be utilized for determination of atmospheric dispersion factors in accordance with Part B, Sections 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 for the release point (either ground level or vent stack) from which recorded effluents have been discharged. The maximum critical organ dose rates will consider the four age groups independently, and take no credit for a shielding factor (SF) associated with residential structures. B.3-18 ODCM Rev. 25
3.7 Method to Calculate the Gamma Air Dose from Noble Gases Part A Control C.7.2.1 limits the gamma dose to air from noble gases at any location at or beyond the site boundary to 5 mrad in any quarter and 10 mriad in any year per unit. Dose evaluation is required at least once per 31 days. Use Method I or Method IA first to calculate the gamma air dose from the station gaseous effluent releases during the period. Use Method II if a more refined calculation is needed (i.e., use of actual release point parameter with annual or actual meteorology to obtain release-specific X/Qs), or if Method I or Method IA predicts a dose greater than the Part A Control limit to determine if it had actually been exceeded. See Part B, Section 7.2.4 for basis. 3.7.1 Method I The general form of the gamma air dose equation is: Dzir = 3.17E-02 * [>QI *t * (Qi DFr) (3-6) (mrad) = (I3ii sec) * (secj * ( ) (PCi) mC ra ) where Drair is the gamma air dose. 3.17E-02 is the number of pCi per piCi divided by the number of second per year, [X/Q]' is the l-hour gamma atmospheric dispersion factor, t-a is a unitless factor which adjusts the 1-hour [X/Q]T value for a release with a total duration of t hours, Q, is the total activity in 1iCi of each radionuclide "i" released to the atmosphere from the station gaseous effluent release point during the period of interest, and DFr is the gamma dose factor to air for radionuclide "i" (see Table B.1-10). Incorporating receptor location-specific atmospheric dispersion'factors ([X/Q]7), adjustment factors (t4 ) for elevated and ground-level effluent release conditions, and occupancy factors when applicable (see Section 7.2.7), yields a series of equations by which the gamma air dose can be determined.

I L 3.8 Method to Calculate the Beta Air Dose from Noble Gases Part A Control C.7.2.1 limits the beta dose to air from noble gases at any location at or beyond the site boundary to 10 mrad in any quarter and 20 mrad in any year per unit. Dose evaluation is required at least once per 31 days. Use Method I or Method IA first to calculate the beta air dose from gaseous effluent releases during the period. Method I applies at all dose levels. Use Method II if a more refined calculation is needed (i.e., use of actual release point parameters with annual or actual meteorology to obtain release-specific X/Qs) or if Method I or Method IA predicts a dose greater than the Part A Control limit to determine if it had actually been exceeded. See Part B, Section 7.2.5 for basis. 3.8.1 Method I The general form of the beta air dose equation is: D°,, = 3.17 E- 02 *(X/Q)1 M

Incorporating receptor location-specific atmospheric dispersion factor (X/Q), adjustment factors (t')for elevated and ground-level effluent release conditions, and occupancy factors when applicable (see Section 7.2.7) yields a series of equations by which the Beta Air Dose can be determined.

3.9 Method to Calculate the Critical Organ Dose from Iodines, Tritium and Particulates Part A Control C.7.3.1 limits the critical organ dose to a member of the public from radioactive iodines, tritium, and particulates with half-lives greater-than 8 days in gaseous effluents to 7.5 mrem per quarter and 15 mnrem per year per unit. Part A Control C.7.3.1 limits the total body and organ dose to any real member of the public from all station sources (including gaseous effluents) to 25 mrem in a year except for the thyroid, which is limited to 75 mnrem in a year. Use Method I or Method IA first to calculate the critical organ dose from gaseous effluent releases as it is simpler to execute and more conservative than Method II. Use Method II if a more refined calculation of critical organ dose is needed (i.e., Method I or Method IA indicates the dose is greater than the limit).

(For each radionuclide, it is the age group and organ with the largest dose factor.) Incorporating receptor location-specific atmospheric dispersion factors ((X/Q) ¢b' and (X/Q)."n and adjustment factors (fa) for elevated and ground-level release conditions, and incorporating occupancy factors when applicable (see Section 7.2.7), yields a series of equations by which the critical organ dose can be determined.

Method IA is implemented by the EMS software as described in Appendix C. Gaseous release models are detailed in Section 6.7.3 of the EMS Software Requirements Specification (Attachment 3 of Appendix C). 3.9.2 Method II Method II consists of the models, input data'and assumptions in Appendix C of Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. I (Reference A), except where site-specific data or assumptions have been identified in the ODCM (see Tables B.7-2 and B.7-3). The critical organ dose will be determined based on the location (site boundary, nearest resident, or farm) of receptor pathways, as identified in the most recent annual land use census, or by conservativ'elyassuming the existence of all pathways (ground plane, inhalation, ingestion of stored and leafy vegetables, milk and meat) at an off-site location of maximum potential dose. Concurrent meteorology with the release period may be utilized for determination of atmospheric dispersion factors in' accordance with Part B, Sections 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 for the release point (either ground level or vent stack) from which recorded effluents have been discharged. The maximum critical organ dose will consider the four age groups independently, and use a shielding factor (SF) of 0.7 associated with residential structures. B.3 ODCM Rev. 25
II 3.10 Method to Calculate Direct Dose from Plant Operation Part A Control C.8.1.1 restricts the dose to the whole body or any organ to any member of the public from all uranium fuel cycle sources to 25 mrem in a calendar year (except the thyroid, which is limited to 75 mrem). Direct radiation from contained sources is required to be included in the assessment of compliance with this standard. 3.10.1 Method The direct dose from the station will be determined by obtaining the dose from TLD locations situated on-site near potential sources of direct radiation, as well as those TLDs near the site boundary which are part of the environmental monitoring program, and subtracting out the dose contribution from background. Additional methods to calculate the direct dose may also be used to supplement the TLD information, such as high pressure ion chamber measurements, or analytical design calculations of direct dose from identified sources (such as solid waste storage facilities). The dose determined from direct measurements or calculations will be related to the nearest real person off-site, as well as those individuals on-site involved in activities at either the Education Center or the Rocks boat landing, to assess the contribution of direct radiation to the total dose limits of Part A Control C.8.1.1 in conjunction with liquid and gaseous effluents. B.3-28 ODCM Rev. 25
3.11 Dose Projections Part A Controls C.6.3.1 and C.7.4.i require that appropriate portions of liquid and gaseous radwaste treatment systems, respectively; be used to reduce radioactive effluents when it is projected that the resulting dose(s) would exceed limits which represent small fractions of the "as low as reasonably achievable" criteria of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The surveillance requirements of these Part A Controls state that dose projections be performed at least once per 31 days when the liquid radwaste treatment systems or gaseous radwaste treatment systems are not being fully utilized. Since dose assessments are routinely performed at least once per 31 days to account for actual releases, the projected doses shall be determined by comparing the calculated dose from the last (typical of expected operations) completed 3 1-day period to the appropriate dose limit for use of radwaste equipment, adjusted if appropriate for known or expected differences between past operational parameters and those anticipated for the next 31 days. 3.1 1.1 Liquid Dose Proiections
- The 31-day liquid dose projections are calculated by the following:
- a. Determine the total body Dt and organ dose Drno (Equations 3-1 and 3-2, respectively) for the last typical completed 31-dayperiod. The last typical 31-dayperiod should be one without significant identified operational differences from the period being projected to, such as full power operation vs. periods when the plant is shut down. For periods with identified operational differences, skip to subsection 3.1 1.1.e. below.
- b. Calculate the ratio (RI) of the total estimated volume of batch releases expected to be released for the projected period to that actually released in the reference period.
- c. Calculate the ratio (R2 ) of the estimated gross primary coolant activity for the projected period to the average value in the reference period. Use the most recent value of primary coolant activity as the projected value if no trend in decreasing or increasing levels can be determined.
- d. Determine the projected dose from:
Total Body: Du pr Dab . RI . R2 Max. Organ: Df' ' = D. . RI .'Ri '
- e. During periods when significant operational differences are identified, such as shutdowns vs. normal power operations, or when specific treatment components are expected to be bypassed or out of service for repair or maintenance, the projected dose should be based on an assessmentof the expected amount of radioactivity that could be discharged, both through treated and any untreated pathways, over the next 31 days. Specific consideration should be given to effluent streams and treatment systems noted on Figure B.6-1. The volume of liquid to be released,-the current or projected maximum radioactivity concentration in the effluent streams either prior to treatment or at the point of release to the environment, and the duration of expected release evaluations should be estimated as part of the projection of offsite dose.
B.3-29 ODCM Rev. 25
I I For these periods outside the bounds of steps 3.1 1.1.a. when significant operational differences exist from the last reference period, the projected dose to the total body Dib and organ dose Dno shall use Equations 3-1 and 3-2, respectively to project dose for each definable time segment of release evolution and summed over the next 31 days. The radioactive release quantity, Qi, in equations 3-1 and 3-2 represents the estimated quantity of radionuclide "i" estimated to be released over the next 31 days, or during short time periods for defined plant operational evaluations, based on expected volumes, concentrations and treatment options to be applied. The EMS software can also be used to perform monthly projected dose calculations as described in Appendix C. The methodology applied by EMS in projecting liquid doses is outlined in Section 2.7 of Attachment 4 to Appendix C (EMS Technical Reference Manual). 3.11.2 Gaseous Dose Proiections
- 1. For the gaseous radwaste treatment system, the 31-day dose projections are calculated by the following:
- a. Determine the gamma air dose Dr, (Equation 3-6a), and the beta air dose DE (Equation 3-7a) from the last typical 3 i-day operating period. The last typical 31-day period should be one without significant identified operational differences from the period being projected to, such as full power steady state operation vs.
periods when the plant is shutdown. For periods with identified operational differences, skip to subsection 3.11.2.2.e. below.
- b. Calculate the ratio (R3) of anticipated number ofcuries of noble gas to be released from the hydrogen surge tank to the atmosphere over the next 31 days to the number of curies released in the reference period on which the gamma and beta air doses are based. If no differences between the reference period and the next 31 days can be identified, set R3 to 1.
- c. Determine the projected dose from:
Gamma Air: DfrDp, =f r..R3 Beta Air: Drp - D&. *R3
- 2. For the ventilation exhaust treatment system, the critical organ dose from iodines, tritium, and particulates are projected for the next 31 days by the following:
- a. Determine the critical organ dose D,0 (Equation 3-8a) from the last typical 31-day operating period. (If the limit of Part A Control C.7.4.1.c (i.e., 0.3 mrem in 31 days) is exceeded, the projected controlled area annual total effective dose equivalent from all station sources should be assessed to assure that the 10 CFR 20.1301 dose limits to members of the pubilic are not exceeded.)* . The last typical 31-day period should be one without significant identified operational differences from the period being projected to, such as full power steady state operation vs. periods when the plant is shutdown. For periods with identified operational differences, skip to subsection 3.11.2.2.e. below.
B.3-30 ODCM Rev. 25
- b. Calculate the ratio (R4 ) of anticipated primary coolant dose equivalent I-131 for the next 31 days to the average dose equivalent I-131 level during the reference period.
Use the most current determination of DE I-131 as the projected value if no trend can be determined.
- c. Calculate the ratio (Rs) of anticipated primary system leakage rate to the average leakage rate during the reference period. Use the current value of the system leakage as an estimate of the anticipated rate for the next 31 days if no trend can be determined.
- d. Determine the projected dose from:
Critical Organ: Dco- = Dco. R4.1
- e. During periods when significant operational differences are identified, such as shutdowns vs. normal power operations, or when specific treatment components are expected to be bypassed or out of service for repair or maintenance, the projected dose should be based on an assessment of the expected amount of radioactivity that could be discharged, both through treated and any untreated pathways, over the next 31 days. Specific consideration should be given to effluent streams and treatment systems noted on Figure B.6-2. The volume or flow rate of gas to be released, the current or projected maximum radioactivity concentration in the effluent streams either prior to treatment or at the point of release to the environment, and the duration of expected release evaluations should be estimated as part of the projection of offsite dose.
For these periods outside the bounds of steps 3.11.2.1.a or 3.11.2.2.a. when significant operational differences exist from the last reference period, the projected air dose from gamma and beta emissions from noble gases (Equations 3-6 and Equations 3-7, respectively), or from iodines, tritium, and particulates (Equations 3-8) shall use the referenced equations to project dose for each definable time segment of release evolution and summed over the next 31 days. The radioactive release quantity, Qi in the dose equations represents the estimated quantity of radionuclide "i" estimated to be released over the next 31 days, or during short time periods for defined plant operational evaluations, based on expected volumes, concentrations and treatment options to be applied.
- 3. Alternate Projection Method for Use with Containment Ventilation Exhaust Treatment System (Charcoal Filters)
During periods when the Containment Building air needs to be vented to the atmosphere, the decision to use the Containment charcoal filter train to exhaust Containment air can be based on dose conversion factors and critical organ dose equation that reflect only those real exposure pathways in the offsite environment as indicated by the annual Land Use Census. This reduces the excess conservatism associated with the standard Method I assumptions that all typical (potential) exposure pathways (including milk) may exist at the most limiting atmospheric dispersion point off site. B.3-31 ODCM Rev. 25
I I In place of the dose conversion factors found in Table B.I-12, and critical organ dose equation 3-8a for Dco, Chemistry Department technical evaluation CHSTI) 02-004 contains the dose conversion factors (DFG) and critical organ dose equation which were developed in the same manner as the current Method I factors and time dependent dose equation, but which utilize the most recent Land Use Census data to define which exposure pathways and identified receptor locations exist. CHSTID 02-004 documents the development of this altemate dose projection method. After the Land Use Census is performed each year, and before application to any Containment venting evolution, CHSTID 02-004 will be reviewed to see if any new receptor location impacts the selection of controlling dose location. The EMS software can also be used to perform monthly projected dose calculations as described in Appendix C. The methodology applied by EMS in projecting gaseous dose is outlined in Section 3.8 of Attachment 4 to Appendix C (EMS Technical Reference Manual). B.3-32 ODCM Rev. 25
- Note: This action is based on the assumption that tritium is the controlling nuclide for whole body exposures through the inhalation pathway. Maximum annual average on-site X/Q's for station effluent release points are approximately 100 times the values used for the site boundary dose calculations. However, the site boundary doses calculated by the ODCM for iodines, tritium, and particulates with half lives greater than 8 days, includes all potential off-site exposure pathways. For tritium, the inhalation pathway only accounts for 10% of the total dose contribution being calculated. As a result, if the monthly calculation indicates that the site boundary maximum organ dose reached 0.3 mrem, the on-site maximum dose due to inhalation would be approximately 3.0 mrem for this period. If this were projected to continue for a year with a 2000 hour occupancy factor applied, the projected inhalation whole body dose would be approximately 8 mrem, or 8% of the 10 CFR 20.1301 limit. This is a reasonable trigger value for the need to consider the dose contribution from all station sources to members of the public in controlled areas.
B333 ODCM Rev. 25
Il 3.12 Method to Calculate Total Dose From Plant Operations ODCM Control C.8.1.1 restricts the annual dose to the whole body or any organ of a member of the public from all uranium fuel cycle sources (including direct radiation) to 25 mrem (except the thyroid, which is limited to 75 mrem). These cumulative dose contribution limits from liquids and gaseous effluents, and direct radiation, implement the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 CFR 190, "Environmental Standards for the Uranium Fuel Cycle." 3.12.1 Method Compliance with the Seabrook Station Effluent Controls dose objectives for the maximum individual, as calculated by the methods described in sections B.3.2, B.3.3, B.3.7, B.3.8, B.3.9 of the ODCM also demonstrates compliance with the EPA limits to any member of the public. This indirect determination of compliance is based on the fact that the Effluent Control liquid and gaseous dose objectives are taken from 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, and represent lower values than the 40 CFR 190 dose limits. Direct radiation dose from contained sources is not expected to be a significant contributor to the total dose to areas beyond the site boundary. If the operational dose objectives in the Seabrook ODCM Effluent Controls C.6.2.1.a, C.6.2.l.b, C.7.2.l.a, C.7.2.L.b, C.7.3.1 .a, or C.7.3.1.b are determined to be exceeded by a factor of two, a Special Report must be prepared. The purpose of this Special Report is to determine by direct assessment ifthe cumulative dose (calendar year) to any member of the public (real individual) from all sources is within the limits of the Total Dose Control C.8. 1.1. In addition, section A.10.2, "Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report," requires that an assessment of radiation doses to the likely most exposed member of the public from all effluent and direct radiation sources be included for the previous calendar year to show compliance with 40 CFR 190. When required, the total dose to a member of the public will be calculated for all significant effluent release points for all real pathways, including direct radiation. Only effluent releases from Seabrook Station need be considered since no other uranium fuel cycle facilities exist within five miles. EPA has determined that for fuel cycle facilities separated by more than five miles, their contribution to each other's total dose would not be significant and cause dose Standard for the Uranium Fuel Cycle to be exceeded. The calculations will be based on the liquid and gaseous Methods II dose models as described in Section B.3, including usage factors and other documented site-specific parameters reflecting realistic assumptions, where appropriate. The liquid and gaseous effluent Method II models are derived from the methods given in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1, October 1977. The direct radiation component from the facility can be determined using environmental TLD results as noted in Section B.3.I0.1 (or alternately, high pressure ion chamber measurements or analytical design calculations for estimating the direct radiation dose from identified contained radioactive sources within the facility). B.3-34 ODCM Rev. 25
4.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM The radiological environmental monitoring stations are listed 'in Table B.4-1. The locations of the stations with respect to the Seabrook Station are shown on the maps in Figures B.4-1 to B.4-6. Direct radiation measurements are analyzed at the station. All other radiological analyses for environmental samples are performed at a contractor laboratory. The contractor laboratory participates in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program for all relevant species in an aqueous (water) matrix. An independent vendor (Analytics) supplies the remaining cross check samples. These samples are presented on an air filter and in'milk and water matrices. Pursuant to Part A Surveillance S.9.2.1, the land use census will be conducted "during the growing season" at least once per 12 months. The growing season is defined, for the purposes of the land use census, as the period from June I to October 1. The method to be used for conducting the census will consist of one or more of the following, as appropriate: door-to-door survey, visual inspection from roadside, aerial survey, or consulting with local agricultural authorities. Technical Specification 6.8.1.3 and Part A, Section 10.1 of the ODCM require that the results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program be summarized in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report "in the format of the table in the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position, Revision 1, 1979." The general table format will be used with one exception and one clarification, as follows. The mean and range values will be based not upon detectable-measurements only, as specified in the NRC Branch Technical Position, but'uponall measurements. This will prevent the positive bias associated with the calculation of the mean and range based upon detectable measurements only. Secondly, the Lower Limit of Detection column will specify the LLD required by ODCM Table A.9.1-2 for that radionuclide and sample medium. B.4-1 ODCM Rev. 26

(c) Samples will be collected pursuant to ODCM Table A.9.1-1. Samples are not required from all stations listed during any sampling interval (FH = Fish; HA = Lobsters; MU = Mussels). Table A.9.1-1 specifies that "one sample of three commercially and recreationally important species" be collected in the vicinity of the plant discharge area, with similar species being collected at'a control location. (This wording is consistent with the NRC Final Environmental Statement for Seabrook Station.) Since the discharge area is off-shore, there is a great number of fish species that could be considered commercially or recreationally important.. Some are migratory (such as striped bass), making them less desirable as an indicator of plant-related radioactivity. Some pelagic species (such as herring and mackerel) tend to school and wander throughout a large area, sometimes making catches of significant size difficult to obtain. Since the collection of all species would be difficult or impossible, and would provide unnecessary redundancy in terms of monitoring important pathways to man, three fish and invertebrate species' have been specified as a minimum requirement. Samples may include marine fauna such as' lobsters, clams, mussels, and bottom-dwelling fish, such as flounder or hake. Several similar species may be grouped together into one, sample if sufficient sample mass for a single species is not available'afler a reasonable effort has been made (e.g., yellowtail flounder and winter flounder) (d) Monitoring program defined in Part A of ODCM does not require'this sample location; food product sampling is being implemented in lieu of an insufficient number ok milk locations.

5.0 SETPOINT DETERMINATIONS Chapter 5 contains the methodology for the calculation of effluent monitor setpoints to W implement the requirements of the radioactive effluent monitoring systems Part A Controls C.5. 1 and C.5.2 for liquids gases, respectively. Example setpoint calculations are provided for each of the required effluent monitors. 5.1 Liquid Effluent Instrumentation Setpoints Part A Control C.5.1 requires that the radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation in Table A.5.1-1 of Part A have alarm setpoints in order to ensure that Part A Control C.6.1.1 is not exceeded. Part A Control C.6.1 .1 limits the activity concentration in liquid effluents to ten times the ECL values in '10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, and a total noble gas MPC. 5.1.1 Liquid Waste Test Tank Monitor (RM-6509) The liquid waste test tank effluent monitor provides alarm and automatic termination of release prior to exceeding ten times the concentration limits specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 to the environment. It is also used to monitor discharges from various waste sumps to the environment. 5.1.1.1 Method to Determine the Setpoint of the Liguid Waste Test Tank Monitor (RM-6509) The alarm setpoint is based on ensuring that radioactive effluents in liquid waste are in compliance with Control limits which are based on the concentration limits in Appendix B to 10 CFR 20. The alarm point depends on available dilution flow through the discharge tunnel, radwaste discharge flow rate from the test tanks, the isotopic composition of the liquid waste, and the monitor response efficiency and background count rate applicable at the time of the discharge. The alarm/trip setpoint is determined prior to each batch release taking into account current values for each variable parameter. The following steps are used in determining the monitor setpoint: First, the minimum required dilution factor is determined by evaluating the isotopic analysis of each test tank to be released along with ECL'requirements for each radionuclide. The most recent analysis data for tritium and other beta emitters that are analyzed only monthly or quarterly on composite samples can be used as an estimate of activity concentration in the tank to be released. For noble gases, the Control limit (C.6.1.1) is defined as 2E-04 pCi/ml total for all dissolved and entrained gases. Therefore, DF&i = Ci or E CNG , whichever is larger. (5-3) IOEMb 2E-04 Where: DFmn = Minimum required dilution factor necessary to ensure that the sum of the ratios for each nuclide concentration divided by its ECL value is not greater than 10 (dimensionless). B.5-l ODCM Rev. 25
I I CQ = Activity concentration of each radionuclide "i" (except noble gases) determined to be in the test tank (IiCi/mil). This includes tritium and other non gamma emitting isotopes either measured or estimated from the most recent composite analysis. C.s = The sum of all dissolved and entrained noble gases identified in each test tank (tCiUml). ECL, = Effluent concentration limit (ECL) for radionuclide "i" (except for dissolved an entrained noble gas) in pCi/ml as specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2 See ODCM, Appendix B, for a listing. In the event that no activity is expected to be discharged, or can be measured in the system, the liquid monitor setpoint should be based on the most restrictive ECL for an "unidentified" mixture or a mixture known not to contain certain radionuclides as given in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, notes. 2E-04 = The total dissolved and entrained noble gas Technical Specification concentration limit in liquid effluents from the plant (AiCi/mil). Next, the available dilution flow through the discharge tunnel (Fd), or a conservative estimate for it, is divided by the minimum dilution factor (DFmmn) to determine the maximum allowable discharge flow rate (Fog) that the test tanks could be released at without exceeding the ECL limits, assuming no additional radioactive flow paths are discharging at the time of release of the test tanks. Therefore, FnW Fd DF Where: Fnx = The maximum allowable discharge flow rate from the test tank past the monitor which would equate to the Control concentration limit for the radioactivity mixture determined to be in the test tank (gpm). Fd = The actual or conservative estimate of the flow rate out of the discharge tunnel (gpm).
- B.5-2 ODCM Rev. 25
For Waste Test Tank (WTT) releases, tritium is expected to be the radionuclide with the highest concentration, and therefore requires the highest dilution flow in order to satisfy the discharge concentration limits: Unlike concentrations of other dissolved or suspended radionuclides, tritium concentrations are not expected to vary because they are unaffected by plant cleanup systems used to reduce or control waste radioactivity levels. As such, events that cause sudden increases in the concentrations of other dissolved or suspended radionuclides, such as changes in waste cleanup efficiencies, crud bursts or failed fuel fractions would not change the tritium concentrations. As long as the minimum required dilution factor (DFm.n) for all radionuclides present in the liquid waste is satisfied, the alarm setpoint for the Waste Test Tank monitor need only consider the potential changes to the concentrations of detectable gamma-emitting radionuclides. Therefore, the required dilution for detectable activity by the WTT monitor can be determined by applying the definition of DFmin (given in equation (5-3)) to only the gamma-emitting radionuclides present in the waste. DFin1 = E (Ciy/1 OECL,- ) (5-3a) Where: DFmn = Minimum required dilution factor necessary to ensure that the sum of the ratios for the concentration of each gamma-emitting radionuclide to the respective ECL value is not greater than 10 (dimensionless). Ci = Activity concentration of each detectable gamma-emitting radionuclide "i" in the mixture (pCi/ml). ECI, = As defined previously. As in the determination of Fr, for the total radioactivity mixture, the maximum allowable discharge flow rate that the waste from the test tanks could be released at without exceeding the concentration limit for gamma-emitters, Fn,,,, is obtained by dividing the discharge tunnel flow, Fd, by DF,,fin. This determination is based on the assumption that there are no additional discharges of liquid waste at the time of release from the test tanks. Therefore, Fmrt,=Fd ,DFmn-d Where: r= The maximum allowable discharge flow rate from the test tank past the monitor which would equate to the control concentration limit for the gamma radioactivity mixture determined to be in the test tank (gpm). Fd = The actual or conservative estimate of the flow rate out of the discharge tunnel (gpm). B.5-3 ODCM Rev. 25
I I The selection of the actual discharge flow rate (Fm) from the test tanks compared to the maximum allowable discharge rate based on all radionuclides that are present (F,,.) and the maximum allowable discharge rate based on only gamma-emitting radionuclides that are present (F",,.y) must satisfy the following: Fm < Fmax
- f<Fmaxy
- ftt Where the ftt represents an administrative fraction of the maximum allowable discharge flow from the test tanks. This fraction provides additional margin in meeting ECL limits for non-gamma emitters (such as tritium) at the discharge point to the ocean when other flow paths may contribute to the total site release at the time of tank discharges and minimum dilution flow conditions exist.
With the above conditions on discharge and dilution flow rates satisfied, the alarm/trip setpoint for the monitor which corresponds to the maximum allowable concentration at the point of discharge is determined as follows: Rw = f x Fd xZCXi (5-1) Where: Rsetpoint = The maximum allowable alarm/trip setpoint for an instrument response (jiCi/ml) that ensures the limiting concentration at the point of discharge is not exceeded.
= The fraction of the total contribution of ECL at the discharge point to be associated with the test tank effluent pathway, where f2 , f3 , and 4 are the fractions for the Turbine Building Sump, Steam Generator Blowdown, and Primary Component Cooling pathways contributions to the total, respectively (f1 +f2+f3 +f4 < 1). Each of the fractions may be conservatively set administratively such that the sum of the fractions is less than 1. This additional margin can be used to account for the uncertainty in setpoint parameters such as estimated concentration of non gamma emitters that are based on previous composite analyses of the waste stream.

- 5.1.1.2 Liquid Waste Test Tank Monitor Setpoint Example The radioactivity concentration of each radionuclide, Ci, in the waste test tank is determined by analysis of a representative grab sample obtained at the radwaste sample sink, and analyzed prior to release for gamma emitters, or as part of a composite analysis for non gamma emitters. The maximum allowable instantaneous effluent concentrations (i.e., ten time the ECL values in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2) are used to illustrate a monitor setpoint determination. This setpoint example is based on the following data: Ten Times i C, (KUCiml) ECLI (piCi/ml) ECLI (pCi/ml) Cs-134 2.15E-05 9E-07 9E-06 Cs-137 7.48E-05 1E-06 lE-05 Co-60 2.56E-05 3E-06 3E-05 H-3 - 1.50E-01 lE-03 lE-02 The minimum required dilution factor for this mix of radionuclides (including beta-emitters) is: C1 2 ___ 7.48E-065 2.56E-0 - 1.50E-01 DFR = - _ 2.15E-05+i + E + = 26 IOECLi 9E-06 1E-05 3E-05 IE-02 The release flow rate (Fo)from the waste test tanks can be set between 10 and 150 gpm. The cooling water tunnel discharge dilution flow rate (Fd) can typically vary from approximately 8,800 to 412,000 gpm depending on the operating status of the plant. In this example, if the dilution flow (Fd) is taken as 412,000 gpm, the maximum allowable discharge rate (F,) is: Fd
-;- -~ D 412,000g ,26 = 15,846 gpm Next, the required dilution factor for only gamma emitters in the mix is:
2.1 5E -05 :7.48E -'05 +2.56E - 05 DFYiy (C,7 /IOECL~).
- 9E-06,- 1E 05 - 3E-05 The maximum allowable discharge flow rate (F,,C) considering only gamma emitters is given as:
DFd - 12 00 Fnuxy DFd1200 gpm = 37,455 gpmn B.5-S ODCM Rev. 25
I I With the selected release rate from the test tank set at 150 gpm, and the administrative flow fraction (ft) assumed in this example to be 0.7, the condition for the control concentration limits is met since: Fm (equal to 150) < Fn.,, (equal to 15,846 gpm) x ft (set at 0.7)
< Frm (equal to 37,455 gpm x F., (set at 0.7) 150 < 11092 < 26219 and the monitor response due to the mix of the gamma emitters is:

= 0.4x 1'2,00 x1.22E-04 150 x I = 1.22E - 02 gCi/ml In this example, the alarm/trip setpoint of the liquid radwaste discharge monitor can be put at 1.22E-02 ACi/ml above background. For the example, it is assumed that the test tank release pathway will be limited to only 40% of the total site discharge allowable concentration.
5.1.2 Turbine Building Drains Liquid Effluent Monitor (RM-6521) The Turbine Building drains liquid effluent monitor continuously monitors the Turbine Building sump effluent line. The only sources to the Sump Effluent System are from the secondary steam system. Activity is expected in the Turbine Building Sump Effluent System only if a significant primary-to-secondary leak is present. If a primary-to-secondary leak is present, the activity in the sump effluent system would be comprised of only those radionuclides found in the secondary system, with reduced activity from decay and dilution. B.5-6 ODCM Rev. 25
The Turbine Building drains liquid effluent monitor provides alarm and automatic termination of release prior to exceeding ten times the concentration limits specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 to the environment. The alarm setpoint for this monitor will be determined using the same method as that of the liquid waste test tank monitor 'if the total sump activity is greater than the ECL, as determined by the most recent grab sample isotopic analysis: If the total activity is less than the ECL, the setpoints of RM-6521 are calculated as follows: High Trip Monitor Setpoint (iCi/ml) = f2 (DF') ("unidentified mix ECL" (gCilml)) (5-21) where: Circulating water flow rate (gpm) DF' Flow rate pass- monitor (gpm) unidentified mix ECL = most restrictive ECL value (piCi/ml) for an unidentified mixture or a mixture known not to contain certain radionuclides as given in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Notes. f2 1- (f1 + f3 + 4); where the f values are described above. In addition, a warning alarm setpoint can be determined by multiplying the high trip alarm point by an administratively selected fraction (as an example, 0.25). [Warning AlarmHihTp Monitor Setpoint =igh Trip. (0.25) Monitor Sepoint (MCi/mi) - 5.1.3 Steam Generator Blowdown Liguid Sample Monitor (RM-65l9) The steam generator blowdown liquid sample monitor is used to detect abnormal activity concentrations in the steam generator blowdown flash tank liquid discharge. The alarm setpoint for the steam generator blowdown liquid sample monitor, when liquid is to be discharged from the site, will be determined using the same approach as the Turbine Building drains liquid effluent monitor. For any liquid monitor, in the event that no activity is expected to be discharged, or can be measured in the system, the liquid monitor setpoint should be based on the most restrictive ECL for an "unidentified" mixture or a mixture known not to contain certain radionuclides given in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B notes.

For the rate-of-change alarm, a setpoint is selected based on detection of an activity level equivalent to I 0-8 gCi/ml in the discharge of the Service Water System. The activity in the PCCW is determined in accordance with the liquid sampling and analysis program described in Part A, Table A.6.I-1 of the ODCM and is used to determine the setpoint.

The PCCW radiation monitor alarm is based on a trend of radiation levels in the PCCW System. The background radiation of the PCCW is determined by evaluating the radiation levels over a finite time period.

I I 5.2.1.2 Plant Vent Wide Range Gas Monitor Setpoint Example for Limiting Case The following setpoint example for the plant vent wide range gas monitors demonstrates the use of equations 5-5 and 5-6 for determining setpoints. Evaluations of potential releases rates associated with the limiting offsite dose rates (Control C.7. 1.1 .a) have been made considering different noble gas mixes related to normal operations, observed periods with fuel defects, and potential UFSAR accident conditions. The bounding noble gas mix case for setpoint alarm indications was found to be related to projected fuel gap activity at the time of shutdown from power operations (UFSAR Table 15.7-20). By setting the maximum alarm setpoint in accordance with this assumed mix, other potential or realistic release conditions will not create an effluent discharge at or above the limiting offsite dose rates without the monitor going into alarm. This limiting setpoint example is based on the following data (see Table B.1-10 for DFBi(,) and DF'i(c)): O; DFBi DF'i(,) (ILCi) mrem-m 3 ,mrem-sec: i._ sec) pCi- yr u Ci- yr Xe-138 2.52E+02 8.83E-03 1.20E-02 Kr-87 7.90E+01 5.92E-03 1.38E-02 Kr-88 1.15E+02 1.47E-02 1.62E-02 Kr-85m 4.49E+01 1.17E-03 2.35E-03 Xe-135 6.82E+01 1.81E-03 3.33E-03 Xe-133 3.23E+02 2.94E-04 5.83E-04 Kr-85 4.13E+00 1.61E-05 1.1 lE-03 Xe-131m 1.15E+00 9.15E-05 5.37E-04 Xe-133m 4.67E+01 2.51E-04 1.1 2E-03 Xe-135m 6.64E+01 3.12E-03 3.74E-03 B.5-12 ODCM Rev. 25

5.2.2 Waste Gas System Monitors (RM-6504 and RM-6503) Process radiation monitors in the waste gas system provide operational information on the performance of the system before its discharge is combined and diluted with other gas flows routed to the plant vent for release to the environment. The setpoints for the waste gas system monitors are administratively set as small multiples of the expected activity concentration to provide operational control over unexpected changes in gas discharges from the system. Typically, the alert alarm setpoint for both monitors is placed at 1.5 times the expected activity concentration passing the monitor, with the high alarm trip set at 2.0 times the expected concentration flow. Under all conditions, the maximum allowable alarm trip shall not exceed a concentration equivalent to 62.5 pCi/cm 3 . This concentration limit, based on system design flow of 1.2 cfm, assures that any release from the waste gas system to the plant vent will not exceed the site boundary dose rate limits of Part A Control C.7.l.1 .a. 5.2.3 Main Condenser Air Evacuation Monitor (RM-6505) The process radiation monitor on the main condenser air evacuation system provides operational information about the air being discharged. The discharge typically occurs either directly from the turbine building during start up (hogging mode) or through the plant vent during normal operations. -During maintenance activities or other temporary operational conditions, discharges to the turbine roof may also occur. This process monitor is also used as an indicator of potential releases from the Turbine Gland Seal Condenser exhaust. Early indications of a potential release (i.e., monitor count rate at twice the normal background) should be evaluated by collecting a grab sample of the exhausts from both the main condenser and the Turbine Gland Seal Condenser. The operational setpoints for the air evacuation monitor are administratively set as small multiples of the expected background response of the detector to provide operational control over unexpected changes in the activity discharged from the system. Typically, the alert setpoint is 1.5 times background, with the high alarm set at 2 times background. Maximum allowable setpoint determinations assure that the site boundary dose rate limits of Part A Control C.7.1.1.a will not be exceeded. For the air evacuation detector an efficiency of 1.87E + 08 cpm-cm 3 rnCi, (the AR-41 response value determined by HPSTID 20-021), flow rates of 10 to 50 cfm and 10,000 cfm for the normal and hogging modes of operation, respectively, and assuming that all the response is due to the most restrictive noble gas mixture associated with fuel gap activity inventory at the end of power operations (same mixture as used for the limiting mixture for the plant vent Wide Range Gas Monitor setpoint given in section 5.2.1.2), the following examples illustrate the calculation of the limiting setpoint for different operational conditions.

= (6.36E+03) (1.87E+08) / (4.72E+06) = 2.520E + 05 cpm B.5-16 ODCM Rev. 25
Case 2: As an extension of Case 1 which assumed the full startup hogging flow was released to the Turbine Building roof, maintenance requirements could direct normal operating main condenser offgas flow (assume 50 cfm or equivalent 2.36E+04 cm3/sec) to the Turbine Building Roof (ground level release point) instead of the elevated main plant vent. In this situation, the samne release rate limit as calculated above (i.e., 6.36E+03 piCi/sec) would apply. However, the reduced gas flow from 10,000 cfm down to 50 cfm would permit a higher alarm setpoint to be used. Monitor Response 23 AE e 1.87E + 08 cpm-cm 3/4Ci

I I and for the 50 cfm (2.36E+06 cm3/sec) Main Condenser offgas exhaust flow, the count rate response of the air evacuation monitor would be: Monitor Response = RAE 1.87E + 08 cpm-cm3 4/Ci 2.36E + 06cm', sec

(2.36E+04) = 6.71E+08cpm The operation of the Main Condenser Evacuation System assumes 670 lbs./hour of steam flow through the Turbine Gland Seal Condenser exhaust (very small fraction of total steam flow), 1.5E+07 lbs./hour steam flow to the main condenser, and that the Turbine Gland Seal Condenser exhaust mostly air at a flow rate of 1,800 cfm which goes directly to the Turbine Building Vents (does not pass RM-6505). The main condenser offgas which goes past the Air Evacuation monitor during power operations is combined with other plant ventilation and process gas streams before being monitored by the WRGM and discharged to the atmosphere via the Plant Vent as a single release point.
The maximum allowable setpoints during startup and normal power operations may be recalculated based on identified changes in detector efficiency, discharge flow rate, radionuclide mix distribution, or administrative apportionment of potential contributions from the plant vent and ground level release points following the methods identified in Part B, Section 8.5.

7.0 BASES FOR DOSE CALCULATION METHODS @ 7.1 Liquid Release Dose Calculations This section serves: (1) to document the development and conservative nature of Method I: equations to provide background information to Method I users, and (2) to identify the general equations, parameters and approaches to Method 11-type dose assessments. Appendix C provides the bases for the EMS software which is used to implement the dose and dose rate calculations indicated as Method IA.: Method I may be used to show that the Part A RECP which limit off-site total body dose from liquids (C.6.2.1 and C.6.3.1) have been met for releases over the appropriate periods. The quarterly and annual dose limits in Part A Control C.6.2.1 are based on the ALARA design objectives in IOCFR50, Appendix I Subsection HI A. The minimum dose values noted in Part A Control C.6.3.1 are "appropriate fractions," as determined by the NRC, of the design objective to ensure that radwaste equipment is'used as required to keep off-site doses ALARA. Method I was developed such that "the actual exposure of an individual ... is unlikely to be substantially underestimated" (IOCFR50, Appendix I). The definition, below, of a single "critical receptor" (a hypothetical or real individual whose behavior results in a maximum potential dose) provides part of the conservative margin to the calculation of total body dose in
*Method I. Method II all6ws that act ual individuals, associated with identifiable exposure pathways, be taken into account for any given release. In fact, Method I was based on a Method II analysis for a critical receptor assuming all principal pathways present instead of any real individual. That analysis was called the "base case;" it was then reduced to form Method I. The general equations used in the base case analysis are also used as the starting point in Method II evaluations. Th7e base case, the method of reduction, and the assumptions and data used are presented below.
The steps performed in the Method I derivation follow. First, the dose impact to the critical receptor [in the form of dose factors DFIj, (mrem/pCi)] for a unit activity release of each radioisotope in liquid effluents was derived. The base case analysis uses the general equations, methods, data and assumptions in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Equations A-3 and A-7, Reference A). The liquid pathways contributing to an individual dose are due to consumption of fish and invertebrates, shoreline activities, and 'winming and boating near the discharge point. -A nominal operating piant discharge flow rate of 918 fR3 /sec was used with a mixing ratio of 0.10. The mixing ratio of 0.10 corresponds to the miinimum expected prompt dilution or near-field mixing zone created at the oc~ean surface'directly above the inultiport diffusers. (Credit for additional dilution to the outer edge of thepronpt mixing zone which corresponds to the IOF surface isotherm (mixing ratio .025) can be applied in the'Method II calculation for shoreline exposures only since the edge of this isothermi typically does not reach the shoreline receptor points during the tidal cycle. The mixing ratio for aquatic food pathways in Method II assessments shall be limited to the same value (0.10) as applied in Method I for near-field mixing, or prompt dilution only. B.7 ODCM Rev. 24
I L The requirements for the determination of radiological impacts resulting from releases in liquid effluents is derived from IOCFR50, Appendix I. Section I.A.2 of Appendix I indicates that in making the assessment of doses to hypothetical receptors, "The Applicant may take account of any real phenomenon or factors actually affecting the estimate of radiation exposure, including the characteristics of the plant, modes of discharge of radioactive materials, physical processes tending to attenuate the quantity of radioactive material to which an individual would be exposed, and the effects of averaging exposures over time during which determining factors may fluctuate." In accessing the liquid exposure pathways that characterize Seabrook Station, the design and physical location of the Circulating Water Discharge System needs to be considered within the scope of Appendix L Seabrook utilizes an offshore submerged multiport diffuser discharger for rapid dissipation and mixing of thermal effluents in the ocean environment. The 22-port diffuser section of the Discharge System is located in approximately 50 to 60 feet of water with each nozzle 7 to 10 feet above the sea floor. Water is discharged in a generally eastward direction away from the shoreline through the multiport diffuser, beginning at a location over one mile due east of Hampton Harbor inlet. This arrangement effectively prevents the discharge plume (at least to the 1 degree or 40 to 1 dilution isopleth) from impacting the shoreline over the tidal cycle. Eleven riser shafts with two diffuser nozzles each form the diffuser and are spaced about 100 feet apart over a distance of about 1,000 feet. The diffusers are designed to maintain a high exit velocity of about 7.5 feet per second during power operations. Each nozzle is angled approximately 20 degrees up from the horizontal plane to prevent bottom scour. These high velocity jets passively entrain about ten volumes of fresh ocean water into the near field jet mixing region before the plume reaches the water surface. This factor of 10 mixing occurs in a very narrow zone of less than 300 feet from the diffuser by the time the thermally buoyant plume reaches the ocean surface. This high rate of dilution occurs within about 70 seconds of discharge from the diffuser nozzles. The design of the multiport diffuser to achieve a 10 to 1 dilution in the near field jet plume, and a 40 to 1 dilution in the near mixing zone associated with the 1 degree isotherm, has been verified by physical model tests (reference "Hydrothermal Studies of Bifurcated Diffuser Nozzles and Thermal Backwashing - Seabrook Station," Alden Research Laboratories, July 1977). During shutdown periods, when the plant only requires service water cooling flow, the high velocity jet mixing created by the normal circulating water flow at the diffuser nozzles is reduced. However, mixing within the discharge tunnel water volume is significantly increased (factor of about 5) due to the long transit time (approximately 50 hours) for batch waste discharged from the plant to travel the three miles through the 19-foot diameter tunnels to the diffuser nozzles. Additional mixing of the thermally buoyant effluent in the near field mixing zone assures that an equivalent overall 10 to 1 dilution occurs by the time the plume reaches the ocean surface. B.7-2 ODCM Rev. 24
The dose assessment models utilized in the'ODCM are taken from NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109. The liquid pathway equations include'a parameter (Mp) to account for the mixing ratio. (reciprocal of the dilution factor) of effluents in the environment at the point of exposure. Table 1, in Regulatory Guide 1.109, defines the point of exposure to be the location that is anticipated to be occupied during plant lifetime, or have potential land and water usage and food pathways as could actually exist during the term of plant operation. For Seabrook, the potable water and land irrigation pathways do not exist since saltwater is used as the receiving water body for the circulating water discharge. The three pathways that have been factored into the assessment models are shoreline exposures, ingestion of invertebrates, and fish ingestion. With respect to shoreline exposures, both the mixing ratios of 0.1 and 0.025 are extremely conservative since the effluent plume which is discharged over one mile offshore never reaches the beach where this type of exposure could occur. Similarly, bottom dwelling invertebrates, either taken from mud flats near the shoreline or from the area of diffuser, are not exposed to the undiluted effluent plume. The shore area is beyond the reach of the surface plume of the discharge, and the design of the upward directed discharge nozzles along with the thermal buoyancy of the effluent, force the plume to quickly rise to the surface without affecting bottom organisms. Consequentially, the only assumed exposure pathway which might be impacted by the near field plume of the circulating water discharge is finfish. However, the mixing ratio of 0.1 is very conservative because fish will avoid both the high exit velocity provided by the discharge nozzles and the high thermal temperature difference between the water discharged from the diffuser and the ambient water temperature in the near field. In addition, the dilution factor of 10 is achieved 'within 70 seconds of discharge and confined to'a very small area, thus prohibiting any significant quantity of fish from reaching equilibrium conditions with radioactivity concentrations created in the water environment. The mixing ratio of 0.025, which corresponds to the 1 degree thermal near field mixing zone, is a more realistic assessment of the dilution to which finfish might be exposed. However, even this dilution credit is conservative since it neglects the plant's operational design which discharges radioactivity by batch mode. Batch discharges are on the order of only a'few hours in duration several times per week and, thus, the maximum discharge concentrations are not maintained in the environment long enough io allow fish to reach equilibrium uptake concentrations as assumed in the dose assessment modeling. Not withstanding the above expected dilution credit afforded at the 1 degree isotherm, all Method II aquatic food pathway dose calculations shall conservatively assume credit for prompt diluti6n only with an' M 0.10. When dose' impacts from the fish and invertebrate pathways are then added to the conservative dose impacts'derived for shoreline exposures, the total calculated dose is very unlikely to have underestimated the exposure to any real individual. The recommended value for dilution of 1.0 given in NUREG-0133 is a simplistic'assurmption provided so that a single model could be used with any plant design and physical discharge arrangement. For plants that utilize a surface canal-type discharge structure where little entrainment mixing in the environment occurs, a dilution factor of 1.0 is a reasonable assumption. However, in keeping with the guidance provided in Appendix I to I OCFR5O, Seabrook has determine site-specific mixing ratios which factor in its plant design. B.7-3 ODCM Rev. 24
II The transit time used for the aquatic food pathway was 24 hours, and for shoreline activity 0.0 hours. Table B.7-1 outlines the human consumption and use factors used in the analysis. The resulting, site-specific, total body dose factors appear in Table B.1-11. Appendix A provides an example of the development of a Method I liquid dose conversion factor for site-specific conditions at Seabrook. 7.1.1 Dose to the Total Body For any liquid release, during any period, the increment in total body dose from radionuclide "i" is: ADd, = kQj DFLit (mrem) () (uCi)( (7-1) where: DFLI, = Site-specific total body dose factor (mrem/,iCi) for a liquid release. It is the highest ofthe four age groups. See Table B.l-ll. Q= Total activity (jtCi) released for radionuclide "i". k = 918/Fd (dimensionless); where Fd is the average dilution flow of the Circulating Water System at the point of discharge from the multiport diffuser (in ft3/sec). Method I is more conservative than Method II in the region of the Part A dose limits because the dose factors DFL,,, used in Method I were chosen for the base case to be the highest of the four age groups (adult, teen, child and infant) for that radionuclide. In effect each radionuclide is conservatively represented by its own critical age group. 7.1.2 Dose to the Critical Organ The methods to calculate maximum organ dose parallel to the total body dose methods (see Part B, Section 7.1.1). For each radionuclide, a dose factor (mnrem/pCi) was determined for each of seven organs and four age groups. The largest of these was chosen to be the maximum organ dose factor (DFLi,) for that radionuclide. DFI,. also includes the external dose contribution to the critical organ. For any liquid release, during any period, the increment in dose from radionuclide "i" to the maximum organ is: ADMO = k Q; DFLhW, (mrem) () (,uCi) (r (7-2) B.74 ODCM Rev. 24
where: DFLITro = Site-specific maximum organ dose factor (mrem/piCi) for a liquid release. See Table B.1-1 1. Q= Total activity (gCi) released for radionuclide "i". k = 91 8/Fd (dimensionless); where Fd is the average dilution flow of the Circulating Water System at the point of discharge from the multiport diffuser (in ft3 /sec).

Method I may be used to show that the Part A Controls which limit total body dose rate from noble gases released to the atmosphere (Part A Control C.7.1.1) has been met for the peak noble gas release rate.

(mrem (pCi- secf (,uCi *(mrem- m 3 ) yr ) ,sec pCi- yr ) The selection of critical receptor, outlined in Part B, Section 7.3 is inherent in the derived Method I, since the maximum expected off-site long-term average atmospheric dispersion factor is used. The sum of doses from both plant vent stack and ground level releases must be considered for determination of Technical Specification compliance. All noble gases in Table B.1-10 should be considered. A Method II analysis could include the use of actual concurrent meteorology to assess the dose rates as the result of a specific release. 7.2.2 Skin Dose Rate from Noble Gases This section serves: (1) to document the development of the Method I equation, (2) to provide background information to Method I users, and (3) to identify the general equations parameters and approaches to Method 11-type dose rate assessments. The methods to calculate skin dose rate parallel the total body dose rate methods in Part B, Section 7.2.1. Only the differences are presented here. Method I may be used to show that the Part A Controls which limit skin dose rate from noble gases released to the atmosphere (Part A Control C.7. 1.1) has been met for the peak noble gas release rate. The annual skin dose limit is 3,000 mrem (from NBS Handbook 69, Reference D, pages 5 and 6, is 30 rem/10). The factor of 10 reduction is to account for nonoccupational dose limits. B.7-8 ODCM Rev. 24
It is the skin dose commitment to the critical, or most limiting, off-site receptor assuming long-term site average meteorology and that the release rate reading remains constant over the entire year. Method I was derived from the general equation B-9 in Regulatory Guide 1.109 as follows: Ds=1.1IDA' +3.17E+04 O),[X/Q]DFS1 (7-4) (mrem) (mrem (mrad)(pCi-yr) Ci (sec) (mrem-m 3 yr ) mrad myra (DCi- see) 3) pCi-yr ) where: 1.11 Average ratio of tissue to air absorption coefficients (will convert mrad in air to mrem in tissue).

The methods to calculate skin dose rate parallel the total body dose rate methods in Part B, Section 7.2.1. Method I may be used to show that the Part A Controls which limit organ dose rate from iodines, tritium and radionuclides in particulate form with half lives greater than 8 days released to the atmosphere (Part A Control C.7.1.1) has been met for the peak above-mentioned release rates. The annual organ dose limit is 1500 mrem (from NBS Handbook 69, Reference D, pages 5 and 6). It is evaluated by looking at the critical organ dose commitment to the most limiting off-site receptor assuming long-term site average meteorology. The equation for D . is derived from a form of Equation 3-8 in Part B, Section 3.9 by applying the conversion factor, 3.154E+07 (sec/yr) and converting Q to Q pCi/sec: (7-12)

Concurrent meteorology with time of release may also be used to assess compliance for a Method II calculation. 7.2.4 Gamma Dose to Air from Noble Gases. This section serves: (1) to document the development and conservative nature of Method I equations to provide background information to Method I users, and (2) to identify the general equations, parameters and approaches to Method fl-type dose assessments. Method I may be used to show that the Part A Control C.7.2.1 which limits off-site gamma air dose from gaseous effluents has been met for releases over appropriate periods. This Part A Control is based on the objective in 10CFR50, Appendix I, Subsection B.1, which limits the estimated gamma air dose in off-site unrestricted areas. NUREG/CR-2919 presents a methodology for determining atmospheric dispersion factors (CHI/Q values) for intermittent releases at user specified receptor locations (intermittent releases being defined as releases with durations between 1 and 8,760 hours). The CHIIQ values for;' intermittent releases are determined by linearly interpolating (on a log-log basis) between an hourly 15-percentile CHI/Q value and an annual average CHI/Q value as a function of release duration. This methodology has been adopted to produce a set of time-dependent atmospheric dispersion factors for Method I calculations. For any noble gas release, in any period, the increment in dose is taken from Equations B4 and B-5 of Regulatory Guide 1.109 with the added assumption that Dfiinm = DT [X/Q]J /[X/Q]: AD") = 3.17E+4 [X/QY XQiDFr - (mrad) (pCi-yr) (sec)(Ci) mrad-m3 (7-14) Ci-sec m rn) pCi-yr where: 3.17E+04= Number of pCi per Ci divided by the number of seconds per year. [X/Q] 7 = Annual average gamma atmospheric dispersion factor for the receptor location of interest. Q = Number of curies of noble gas !'i" released. DFT3 = Gamma air dose factor for a uniform semi-infinite cloud of radionuclide "i". Incorporating a unitless release duration adjustment term t.' (where "a" is a constant and "t" is the total release duration in hours), and the conversion factor for Ci to pCi (to accommodate the use of a release rate Q in pCi), and substituting the 1-hour gamma atmospheric dispersion factor in place of the annual average gamma atmospheric dispersion factor in Equation 7-14 leads to: B.7-13 ODCM Rev. 24

7.2.6 Dose to Critical Organ from lodines. Tritium and Particulates with Half-Lives Greater Than Eight Days This section serves: (1) to document the development and conservative nature of Method I equations to provide background information to Method I users, and (2) to identify the general equations, parameters and approaches to Method 11-type dose assessments. Method I may be used to show that the Part A Controls which limit off-site organ dose from gases (C.7.3.1 and C.8.1.1) have been met for releases over the appropriate periods. Part A Control C.7.3.1 is based on the ALARA objectives in IOCFR50, Appendix L Subsection II C. Part A Control C.8.1.I is based on Environmental Standards for Uranium Fuel Cycle in 40CFRI90, which applies to direct radiation as well as liquid and gaseous effluents. These methods apply only to iodine, tritium, and particulates in gaseous effluent contribution. Method I was developed such that "the actual exposure of an individual ... is unlikely to be substantially underestimated" (10CFR50, Appendix 1). The use below of a single "critical receptor" provides part of the conservative margin to the calculation of critical organ dose in Method I. Method II allows that actual individuals, associated with identifiable exposure pathways, be taken into account for any given release. In fact, Method I was based on a Method II analysis of a critical receptor assuming all pathways present. That analysis was called the "base case"; it was then reduced to form Method I. The base case, the method of reduction, and the assumptions and data used are presented below. B.7-16 ODCM Rev. 24
The steps performed in the Method I derivation follow. First, the dose impact to the critical receptor [in the form of dose factors DFGjCO (mrem ljCi)] for a unit activity release of each iodine, tritium, and particulate radionuclide with half lives greater than eight days to gaseous effluents was derived. Six exposure pathways (ground plane, inhalation, stored vegetables, leafy vegetables, milk, and meat ingestion) were assumed to exist at the site boundary (not over water or marsh areas) which exhibited the highest long-term X/Q. Doses were then calculated to six organs (bone, liver, kidney, lung, GI-LLI, and thyroid), as well as for the whole body and skin for four age groups (adult, teenager, child, and infant) due to the seven combined exposure pathways. For each radionuclide, the highest dose per unit activity release for any organ (or whole body) and age group was then selected to become the Method I site-specific dose factors. The base case, or Method I analysis, uses the general equations methods, data, and assumptions in Regulatory Guide'1.109 (Equation C-2 for doses resulting from direct exposure to contaminated'ground plane; Equationi C-4 for doses associated with inhalation of all radionuclides to different organs of individuals of different age groups; and Equation C-13 for doses to organs of individuals in different age groups resulting from ingestion of radionuclides in produce, milk, meat, and leafy vegetables in Reference A). Tables B.7-2 and B.7-3 outline human consumption and environmental parameters used in the analysis. 'It is conservatively assumed that the critical receptor lives at the "maximum off-site atmospheric dispersion factor location" as defined in Section 7.3. The resulting site-specific dose factors are for the maximum organ which combine the limiting age group with the highest dose factor for any organ with each nuclide. These critical organ, critical age dose factors are given in Table B.1-12. Appendix A provides an example of the development of Method I gaseous dose conversion factor for site-specific conditions at Seabrook. For any iodine, tritium, and particulate gas release, during any period, the increment in dose from radionuclide Wi" is:
-A=Dco QiDFGico, (7-16) where DFGicO is the critical dose factor for radionudide "i" and Qi is the activity of radionuclide "i" released in rmicrocuries.

The gaseous dose calculations for the special receptors parallel the bases of the gaseous dose rates and doses in Part B, Sections 7.2.1 through 7.2.5. Only the differences are presented here. The special receptor XQs are given in Table B.7-5. 7.2.7.1 Total Body Dose Rate from Noble Gases Method I was derived from Regulatory Guide 1.109 as follows: Do =1 E+ 06 [X/Q ]r DFBj (7-3) General Equation (7-3) is then multiplied by an Occupancy Factor (OF) to account for the time an individual will be at the on-site receptor locations during the year. There are two special receptor locations on-site. The "Rocks" is a boat landing area which provides access to Browns River and Hampton Harbor. The Seabrook Station UFSAR, Chapter 2.1, indicates little boating activity in either Browns River or nearby Hunts Island Creek has been observed upon which to determine maximum or conservative usage factors for this on-site shoreline location. As a result, a default value for shoreline activity as provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Table E-5, for maximum individuals was utilized for determining the "Rocks" occupancy factor. The 67 hours/year corresponds to the usage factor for a teenager involved in shoreline recreation. This is the highest usage factor of all four age groups listed in Regulatory Guide 1.109, and has been used in the ODCM to reflect the maximum usage level irrespective of age. Regulatory Guide 1.109 does not provide a maximum individual usage factor for activities similar to those which would be associated with the Seabrook Station Science & Nature Center. Therefore, the usage factor used in the ODCM for the Science & Nature Center reflects the observed usage patterns of visitors to the facility. Individuals in the public who walk in to look at the exhibits on display and pick up available information stay approximately 1.5 hours each. Tour groups who schedule visits to the facility stay approximately 2.5 hours. For conservatism, it was assumed that an individual in a tour group would return five times in a year, and stay 2.5 hours on each visit. These assumptions, when multiplied together, provide the occupancy factor of 12.5 hours/year used in the ODCM for public activities associated with the Science & Nature Center. For the Science & Nature Center, and the "Rocks", the occupancy factors (OFs) are: B.7-18 ODCM Rev. 24

I I 7.3 Receptor Points and Average Atmospheric Dispersion Factors for Important Exposure Pathways The gaseous effluent dose equations (Method I) have been simplified by assuming an individual whose behavior and living habits inevitably lead to a higher dose than anyone else. The following exposure pathways to gaseous effluents listed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference A) have been considered:
- 1. Direct exposure to contaminated air,
- 2. Direct exposure to contaminated ground;
- 3. Inhalation of air,
- 4. Ingestion of vegetables;
- 5. Ingestion of goat's milk; and
- 6. Ingestion of meat.
Part B, Section 7.3.1 details the selection of important off-site and on-site locations and receptors. Part B, Section 7.3.2 describes the atmospheric model used to convert meteorological data into atmospheric dispersion factors. Part B, Section 7.3.3 presents the maximum atmospheric dispersion factors calculated at each of the off-site receptor locations. 7.3.1 Recegtor Locations The most limiting site boundary location in which individuals are, or likely to be located as a place of residence was assumed to be the receptor for all the gaseous pathways considered. This provides a conservative estimate of the dose to an individual from existing and potential gaseous pathways for the Method I analysis. This point is the west sector, 974 meters from the center of the reactor units for undepleted, depleted, and gamma X/Q calculations, and the northwest section, 914 meters for calculations with D/Q the dispersion parameter. The site boundary in the NNE through SE sectors is located over tidal marsh (e.g., over water), and consequently are not used as locations for determining maximum off-site receptors (Reference NUREG 0133). Two other locations (on-site) were analyzed for direct ground plane exposure and inhalation only. They are the "Rocks" (recreational site) and the Education Center shown on Figure 5.1-1 of the Technical Specifications. 7.3.2 Seabrook Station Atmospheric Dispersion Model The time average atmospheric dispersion factors for use in both Method I and Method II are computed for routine releases using the AEOLUS-2 Computer Code (Reference B). B.7-30 ODCM Rev. 24
AEOLUS-2 produces the following average atmospheric dispersion factors for each location:
- 1. Undepleted X/Q dispersion factors for evaluating ground level concentrations of noble gases;
- 2. Depleted X/Q dispersion factors for evaluating ground level concentrations of iodines and particulates;
- 3. Gamma X/Q dispersion factors for evaluating gamma dose rates from a sector averaged finite noble gas cloud (multiple energy undepleted source); and
- 4. D/Q deposition factors for evaluating dry deposition of elemental radioiodines and other particulates.
Gamma dose rate is calculated throughout this ODCM using the finite cloud model presented in "Meteorology and Atomic Energy'- 1968" (Reference E, Section 7-5.2.5). That model is implemented through the definition of an effective gamma atmospheric dispersion factor, [X/Qi] (Reference B, Section 6), and the replacement of X/Q in infinite cloud dose equations by the [XIQr]. 7.3.3 Average Atmosnheric Dispersion Factors for Receptors The calculation of Method I and Method II atmospheric diffusion factors (undepleted CHII/Q, depleted CHI/Q, D/Q, and gamma CHI/Q values) utilize a methodology' generally consistent with US NRC Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Revision 1) criteria and the methodology for calculating routine release diffusion factors as represented by the XOQDOQ computer code (NUREG/CR-2919). The primary vent stack is treated as a "mixed-mode" release, as defined in Regulatory Guide 1.1 11. Effluents are considered to be part-time ground level/part-time elevated releases depending on the ratio of the primary vent stack effluent exit velocity relative to the speed of the prevailing wind. All other release points (e.g., Turbine Building and Chemistry lab hoods) are considered ground-level releases. In addition, Regulatory Guide 1.111 discusses the concept that constant mean wind direction models like AEOLUS-2 do not describe spatial and temporal variations in airflow such as the recirculation of airflow which can occur during prolonged periods of atmospheric stagnation. For sites near large bodies of water like Seabrook, the onset and decay of sea breezes can also result in airflow reversals and curved trajectories. Consequently, Regulatory Guide 1.111 states that adjustments to constant mean wind direction model outputs may be necessary to account for such spatial and temporal variations in air flow trajectories. Recirculation correction factors have been applied to the diffusion factors. The recirculation correction factors used are compatible to the "default open terrain" recirculation correction factors used by the XOQDOQ computer code. The relative deposition rates, D/Q values, were derived using the relative deposition rate curves presented in Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Revision 1). These curves provide estimates of deposition rates as a function of plume height, stability class, and plume travel distance. B.7-31 ODCM Rev. 24
I I Receptor Locations For ground-level releases, the downwind location of "The Rocks" (244m NE/ENE) and the Science & Nature Center (406m SW) were taken as the distance from the nearest point on the Unit 1 Administrative Building/Turbine Building complex. For the site boundary, the minimum distances from the nearest point on the Administration Building/Tuibine Building complex to the site boundary within a 45-degree sector centered on the compass direction of interest as measured from UFSAR Figure 2.1-4A were used (with the exception that the NE-NE-ENE-E-ESE-SE site boundary sectors were not evaluated because of their over-water locations). For primary vent stack releases, the distances from the Unit I primary vent stack to "The Rocks" (244m NE) and the Science & Nature Center (488m SW) as measured from a recent site aerial photograph were used. For the site boundary, the minimum distances from the Unit 1 primary vent stack to the site boundary within a 45-degree sector centered on the compass direction of interest as measured from UFSAR Figure 2.14A were used (with the exception that the NNE-NE-ENE-E-ESE-SE site boundary sectors were not evaluated because of their over-water locations). Meteorological Data Bases For "The Rocks' and Science & Nature Center receptors, the diffusion factors represent six-year averages during the time period January 1980 through December 1983 and January 1987 through December 1988 (with the exception that, because of low data recovery, April 1979 and May 1979 were substituted for April 1980 and May 1980). For the site boundary receptors, both six-year average growing season (April through September) and year-round (January through December) diffusion factors were generated, with the higher of the two chosen to represent the site boundary. The meteorological diffusion factor used in the development of the ODCM Method I dose models are summarized on Tables B.7-4 through B.7-6. B.7-32 ODCM Rev. 24

t 8.0 BASES FOR LIQUID AND GASEOUS MONITOR SETPOINTS 8.1 Basis for the Liquid Waste Test Tank Monitor Setpoint The liquid waste test tank monitor setpoint must ensure that the limits of Part A Control C.5. 1 are not exceeded in combination with any other site discharge pathways. The liquid waste test tank monitor is placed upstream of the major source of dilution flow. The derivation of Equation 5-1 begins with the general equation for the response of a radiation monitor: R =E CT, SE (8-1) (cps) (imli)(cs.) where: R Response of the monitor to radioactivity (cps). Sl = Detector counting efficiency for radionuclide "i" (cps/(gCi/ml)). C7r = Activity concentration of each gamma emitting radionuclide "i" in the mixture that the monitor has a response efficiency sufficient to detect (pCi/ml). The detector calibration procedure for the liquid waste test tank monitor at Seabrook Station establishes counting efficiency by use of a known calibration source standard and a linearity response check. Therefore, in Equation 8-1 one may substitute SI for Sli, where SI is the detector counting efficiency determined from the calibration procedure. Therefore, Equation 8-1 becomes: R = Si F, Cr (8-2) (cps) = (cUC1z ) (ml ) B.8 ODCM Rev. 25
I I The ECL for a given radionuclide must not be exceeded at the point of discharge to the environment. When a mixture of radionuclides is present, 10 CFR 20 specifies that the concentration (excluding dissolved and entrained noble gases) at the point of discharge shall be limited as follows: ECL< (8-3) where: Cdi = Activity concentration of radionuclide "i" determined to be present in the mixture at the point of discharge to the environment (giCi/ml). ECL, = Effluent concentration limit (ECL) for radionuclide."i" (except for dissolved and entrained noble gas) in FiCi/ml as specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2. The limit for the sum of all noble gases in the waste discharge is 2E-04 gCi/ml. (See ODCM Appendix B for listing.) The activity concentration of radionuclide "i" at the point of discharge is related to the activity concentration of each radionuclide at the monitor as follows: Cdi =F_ (Cyi + C/i1) Fd (,ui) gpm. (uCi)- t-Mml gpm) l and with equivalence of C; = (Cy3 + C13i), Equation 8-4 can be written as

C; = The activity concentration of each radionuclide "i" in the waste stream. This includes both gamma and non gamma emitters, such as tritium. B.8-2 ODCM Rev. 25

ECLI = Effluent concentration limit (ECL) for radionuclide "i" (except for dissolved and entrained noble gas) in jICi/ml as specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2. For noble gases, a value of 2E-04 pCi/ml is used for the limit of the sum of noble gases in the waste stream. If Fd/Fm is less than DFmin, then the tank may not be discharged until either Fd or Fm or both are adjusted such that: Fds DFi <Ed 7. (8-5) The maximum allowable discharge flow rate past the monitor can be found by setting Fm to Fnax and its equivalents, i.e:
= Fd DF=i Usually Fd/Fm is greater than DFmjn (i.e., there is more dilution than necessary to comply with Equation 8-3), but must be satisfied since the monitor can only detect the gamma emitting portion of the waste stream. The response of the liquid waste test tank monitor at the setpoint is therefore:
Rs = fl x Fd x SIF Cy1 Fm x DFmi (cps) ()cps - ml(Ci (8-6) B.8-3. ODCM Rev. 25
I I or with Fnax substituted into Equation 8-6 for the maximum allowable discharge flow rate ( DFnin. ), the setpoint equation can be stated also as: DF~ Rsvow -`=fi x F- x Sj CY Fm where fl is equal to the fraction of the total concentration of ECL at the discharge point to the environment to be associated with the test tank effluent pathway, such that the sum of the fractions of the four liquid discharge pathways is equal to or less than one (f1 + f2 + f3 + f4 < 1). The monitoring system is designed to incorporate the detector efficiency, Si, into its software. This results in an automatic readout in )lCi/ml or pCi/cc for the monitor response. Since the conversion for changing cps to pCi/ml is inherently done by the system software, the monitor response setpoint can be calculated in terms of the total waste test tank activity concentration in pCi/ml determined by the laboratory analysis. Therefore, the setpoint calculation for the liquid waste test tank is: R , =fx Fd x Z Cyj (5-1) Fm x DF() m () () (ci B.8-4 ODCM Rev. 25
8.2 Basis for the Plant Vent Wide Range Gas Monitor Setpoints The setpoints of the plant vent wide range gas monitors must ensure that Part A Control C.7. 1. .a is not exceeded. Part B, Sections 3.4 and 3.5 show that Equations 3-3 and 3-4 are acceptable methods for determining compliance with that Part A Control. Which equation (i.e., dose to total body or skin) is more limiting depends on the noble gas mixture. For the limiting setpoint case, the gas mixture associated with the fuel gap activity at time of shutdown (UFSAR Table 15.7-20) indicates that the total body dose rate to the maximum offsite receptor is the limiting dose rate type. The derivations of Equations 5-5 and 5-6 begin with the general equation for the response R of a radiation monitor: R = ESg, Cn (8-7) (cpm) = (CPMCM) (C) where: R = Response of the instrument (cpm) Sgi = Detector counting efficiency for noble gas "i" (cpml(jiCi/cm 3 )) Cm;= Activity concentration of noble gas "i" in the mixture at the noble gas activity monitor (pCi/cm 3 ) Cm;, the activity concentration of noble gas "i" at the noble gas activity monitor, may be expressed in terms of Qj by dividing by F, the appropriate flow rate. In the case of the plant vent noble gas activity monitors the appropriate flow rate is the plant vent flow rate.

The Control dose rate limits (500 mrem/yr and 3000 mrem/yr for total body and skin, respectively) apply to combination of all release points to the limiting offsite receptor. Administrative fractions (f) should be applied to main plant vent setpoint calculation as a multiplier, and any other release points, such that the summation of all fractions is less than or equal to 1. This provides for the combined impact of all release points to ensure that selected setpoints alarm at or before the site dose rate limits is exceeded. B.8-9 ODCM Rev. 25
II 8.3 Basis for PCCW Head Tank Rate-of-Change Alarm Setpoint The PCCW head tank rate-of-change alarm will work in conjunction with the PCCW radiation monitor to alert the operator in the Main Control Room of a leak to the Service Water System from the PCCW System. For the rate-of-change alarm, a setpoint based on detection of an activity level of 1O' iCi/cc in the discharge of the Service Water System has been selected. This activity level was chosen because it is the minimum detectable level of a service water monitor if such a monitor were installed. The use of rate-of-change alarm with information obtained from the liquid sampling and analysis commitments described in Table A.6.1-1 of Part A ensure that potential releases from the Service Water System are known. Sampling and analysis requirements for the Service Water System extend over various operating ranges with increased sampling and analysis at times when leakage from the PCCW to the service water is occurring and/or the activity level in the PCCW is high. B.8-10 ODCM Rev. 25
8.4 Basis for Waste Gas Processing System Monitors (RM-6504 and RM-6503) The maximum allowable setpoint for the waste gas system monitors (response in pCi/cm3 ) can be determined by equating the limiting off-site noble gas dose rate from the plant vent to the total body or skin dose rate limits of Part A Control C.7..1. La, assuming that all the activity detected by the vent wide-range gas monitors is due to waste gas system discharges. By evaluating the noble gas radionuclide with the most limiting dose factor as given on Table B.I-10, a conservative activity release rate from the plant vent for both whole body and skin dose rate conditions can be calculated. From Table B.1-10, Kr-89 is seen to be the most restrictive individual noble gas if it were present in the effluent discharge. Applying plant vent setpoint equation 5-5 for the whole-body, and equation 5-6 for the skin, the maximum allowable plant vent stack release rate can be calculated as follows: Rt = 588 l/DFBC (5-5) where: Rtb = plant vent maximum release rate (pCi/sec) based on'the whole body does rate limit of 500 mrem/yr DFBc = 1.66E-02 (mrem-m3 /pCi-yr), whole body dose factor for Kr-89 588 = conversion factor (mrem-pCi-m 3 /yr-pCi-sec) Therefore: Rh= 588 1/1.66E-02
= 35,421 pCi/sec maximum release rate at plant vent Next, the skin dose rate limit is evaluated from equation 5-6 in a similar fashion as follows:
Rskin = 3000 I/DFc (5-6) where: Rskin = plant vent maximum release rate (pCi/sec) based on skin dose rate limit of 3000 mrem./yr. DF'c = 2.45E-02 mrem-sec/pCi-yr skin dose factor for Kr-89 3000 = Site boundary skin dose raie limit (mreiTn/yr) B.8-1 1 - ODCM Rev. 25
L1 therefore: Rski. = 3000 (mrem/yr) 1/2.45E-02(mrem-sec/dCi-yr)
= 122,449 piCisec from the plant vent Comparing the release rate limit for the whole body to that for the skin (i.e., 35,421 piCi/sec vs 122,449 gCi/sec, respectively) it is determined that the release rate for the whole body is limiting.
Next, to get the maximum plant vent release rate from the waste gas system discharge, equate the plant vent maximum release rate limit for the whole body equal to the waste gas system activity concentration times its flow rate to the plant vent, i.e.: Rtb = 35,421(tLCi/sec) = Rg(p Ci/cm3 ) F.(cm3/sec) or solving for Rwg: Rn(gUCi/cm 3 ) = 35,421(pCi/sec) / F n(cm 3/sec) where: Rwg = maximum concentration (setpoint limit) at the waste gas system monitors Fwg = waste gas design flow of 566.4 cm 3 /sec (1.2 cfmn) therefore: Rwg(gCi/cm 3 ) = 35,421(jxCi/sec) / 566.4(cm 3 lsec)
= 62.5 pLCi/cm 3 This represents the maximum waste gas discharge concentration which would equal the site boundary whole body dose rate limit for plant vent releases. Administrative controls may set alert alarm and high alarm (waste gas isolation) setpoints on the waste gas monitors as some multiple of expected activity concentration, such as 1.5 and 2 times, respectively, as long as the maximum setpoint does not exceed 62.5 pCi/cm 3 . This provides operational controls to be exercised before any waste gas discharges could equate to the Part A Control C.7.1.1.a.
The primary process monitor noted in Part A Control C.5.2 is RM-6504, which is downstream of the waste gas discharge compressor at the end of the process system. Monitor RM-6503 is on the inlet side of the compressor downstream of the charcoal delay beds, and is considered as an alternate monitor if RM-6504 is inoperable. For the purpose of setting the maximum discharge setpoint, RM-6503 is treated the same as RM-6504, which assumes no additional source reduction before discharge to the plant vent. B.8-12 ODCM Rev. 25
8.5 Basis for the Main Condenser Air Evacuation Monitor Setpoint (RM-6505) The maximum allowable setpoint for the main condenser air evacuation monitor must be evaluated for two modes of operation. For normal operations the monitor is responding to a low flow rate that is typically released through the plant vent stack. During start-up (hogging mode), the monitor response must be related to a high flow rate that is being released from the turbine building which is considered a ground level release. In both instances, the setpoint can be determined by equating the limiting off-site noble gas dose rate from the release point to the total body or skin dose rates of Part A Control C.7.1.1.a. The most restrictive noble gas mixture has been found to be represented by the noble gases associated with the fuel gap activity at the time of plant shutdown. This mixture is listed on UFSAR Table 15.7-20, and provides a limiting setpoint calculation that bounds other potential or observed offgas mix conditions. In addition to monitoring the main condenser air, the air evacuation monitor response is also used as an indicator for Turbine Gland Seal Condenser exhaust. Since this is a potential release pathway during both the normal and the hogging modes of operation; the impact is considered in the setpoint calculations. 8.5.1 Limiting Example for the Air Evacuation Monitor Setpoint During Normal Operations During normal power operation, the maximum allowable setpoint for the air evacuation monitor is determined by applying plant vent setpoint equation 8-13 for the total body, and equation 8-16 for the skin. Therefore, the maximum allowable stack release rate can be calculated as follows: Rtb(e) = (588) (Sg) (I/F) (l/DFBc) (8-13) (cpm): = (mrem-iiCi-m 3 /yr-pCi-sec) (cpm-cm3/4Ci) (sec/cm3 )(pCi-yr/nrem-m 3 ) where: Rtube) = count rate (cpm) for the plant vent maximum release rate based on the total body dose rate limit of 500-mrem/yr 588 = conversion factor (mrem-pCi-m 3 /yr-pCi-sec) S = the detector response efficiency (cpm-cm 3 /pCi) as determined from monitor calibration. For the air evacuation monitor, a typical value is
-1.87E+08 cpm-cm 3 /LCi. .
F = release flow rate. During normal operations, a typical flow value ranges from 10 to 50 cfm (2.36E+04 cc/sec maximum) for the air'evacuation pathway. DFBc = the composite total body dose factor, (mrem-mr3 /pCi-yr). For different gas mixes, the composite can be found from: DFBC = EQ DFBi0/ 7-Q (5-7) i i DFBc for the limiting gas mixture is 4.86E-03 mrem-m 3 /pCi-yr (See Section 5.2.1.2) B.8-13 ODCM Rev. 25
I I Therefore, Rtb(c) = 588 1.87E+08 (1/2.36E+04) (1/4.86E-03)
= 9.59E+08 cpm detector count rate for a'maximum release rate at the plant vent based on the total body dose rate.
Next, the off-site skin dose rate limit is evaluated from equation 8-16 in a similar fashion as follows: Rsid,(,) = 3000 Sg (1/F) (I/DFc) (8-16) (cpm) = (mrem/yr) (cpm-cm 3 /Ci) (sec/cm 3 ) (pCi-yr/mrem-sec) where: Rsedn(e) = count rate (cpm) for a plant vent maximum release rate based on the skin dose rate limit of 3000 mrern/yr DF, = the elevated release skin dose factor for the limiting noble gas mix associated with fuel gap activity at shutdown is calculated in the example provided in Section 5.2.1.2, and is equal to 6.80E-03 (mrem-sec/lCi-yr). Therefore,' Rsldn(e) = 3000 1.87E+08 (1/2.36E+04) (1/6.80E-03)
= 3.50E+09 cpm detector count rate for a maximum release rate at the plant vent based on the skin dose rate.
Comparing the release rate limit for the total body to that of the skin (i.e., 9.59E+08 cpm versus 3.50E+09 cpm, respectively) it is determined that the release rate for the total body is limiting in this case. Since during normal operations the Turbine Gland Seal Condenser exhaust has the potential to be a minor additional contribution to the total site release, the effective contribution from the main condenser exhaust must be' limited to some fraction of the calculated value. The contribution from the Turbine Gland Seal Condenser exhaust is expected to be minor because this system handles only 670 lbs/hour of steam which is a very small fraction of the 1.5E+07 lbs/hour of secondary side steam that the main condenser handles. Therefore, the maximum alarm is set at 6.71E+08 cpm, which is 70% of the calculated value, to ensure that the contribution of the two does not exceed the dose rate limit of Part A Control C.7.1.1.a. During normal operations, this would represent the maximum allowable count rate on the air evacuation monitor that would equate to the site boundary total body dose rate limit or less. B.8-14 ODCM Rev. 25
8.5.2 Example for the Air Evacuation Monitor Setpoint During Startup (Hogging Mode) During startup (hogging mode), the determination of the air evacuation setpoint must take into account a larger air flow rate that is also released as a ground level effluent. The flow rate must also include the contribution from the Turbine Glind Seal Condenser exhaust, which is a potential release pathway which the air evacuation monitor response must also take into account. For ground releases, the general equation 8-10 is used to represent the monitor count rate. R = (Sg) (1I/F) YQj (8-10) (cpm) = (cpm-cm 3 /pCi) (sec/cm 3 ) (piCi/sec) where: R = detector count rate (cpm) Sg = the detector efficiency (cpm-cm3I/Ci) F = release flow rate (cm3 /sec)
= the release rate of noble gas "i" in the mixture, for each noble gas listed in Table B.1-I0.
For a ground release, the off-site total body dose rate is based on: Dj).W=3.4Z(Q,DFB;) (3-3b) A composite total body dose factor, DFB, can be defined such that: DFBC,Q 3 ; (QDFB) (8-11) i -i B.8-15 ODCM Rev. 25
II By substituting 8-11 into 3-3b and rearranging to solve for yQ, the following equation is obtained: 2:Qi=(15(Ns,3.4) (O/DFBc) By inserting a limiting value of 500 mnrem/yr as f~bfg) this simplifies to: 147 (l/DFB,) Insertion of this equation into equation 8-10 yields: Rtwg) = 147 SWz (I/F)(I/DFBe) (cpm) = (mrem-ljCi-m3/yr-pCi-sec) (cpm-cm3 4LCi) (sec/cm i 3) Ci-yr/mrem-m 3 ) where: R, 8) = count rate (cpm) for the maximum ground release rate based on the total body dose rate limit of 500 mrem/yr. 147 = conversion factor (mrem-jiCi-m 3 /yr-pCi-sec) Sg = the detector response efficiency for the air evacuation monitor (a typical value of 1.87E+08 cpm-cm3/pCi is applied in this example). F = release flow rate. During the hogging mode of operation, a value of 4.72E+06 cm3/sec (10,000 cfm) is assumed. This represents the hogging flow that is discharged to the Turbine Building roof via the air evacuation monitor. An additional 1800 cfin is discharged from the Gland Seal Condenser exhaust directly to the Turbine Building roof without passing via the air evacuation monitor. To account for this unnionitored flow, an administrative fraction (fg1and) is applied to the setpoint calculation to ensure that the monitor would alarm before the dose rate limit for the combined release would be exceeded. One approach for determining a conservative fraction is to assume that the radioactivity concentration in the gland seal exhaust is equal to the main condenser offgas, even though the steam flow to the gland seal system is a very small fraction of the steam flow to the main condenser. Then the ratio of the Gland Seal Condenser exhaust flow to the total flow of hogging discharge and gland seal condenser provides for the relative flow of both sources. For the stated conditions, the unmonitored flow is about 15 % of the total (as additional conservatism, this could be doubled to 30% for the relative proportion assumed to be contributed by the unmonitored pathway). Therefore, fgld = 1-0.3, or 0.7 as the fraction applied to the air evacuation monitor setpoint. An additional fraction (fg) is also applied to account for the potential offsite dose rate contribution from this total ground source vs the plant main vent (fg < I - fQ). The split for this illustration is set at 0.3 for ground sources and 0.7 for the plant vent. B.8-16 ODCM Rev. 25
DFBc = Composite total body dose factor which weights the combination of total body dose factors (from ODCM Table B.1-10) of each radionuclide assumed to be in the gas mix in accordance with the fraction that it makes up of the total release. For the limiting noble gas mix associated with fuel gap activity at shutdown (see example calculation provided in Section 5.2.1.2), the value is equal to 4.86E-03 (mrem-m3 /pCi-yr). In addition, two administrative fractions are applied to the general calculation to account for other release contributions to the site dose that do not go by the air evacuation monitor. The first (fg ) is the fraction of the site boundary total body dose rate limit to be administratively assigned to monitored ground level releases (for this illustration 0.3) such that the combination of the plant vent fraction (f, ) and ground fraction (fg ) is less than or equal to I (fg < 1 - fQ). The second release reduction factor (fgld ) is administratively assigned to account for potential unmonitored contributions from the Turbine Gland Seal Condenser exhaust (for this illustration = 0.7) which discharges to the Turbine Building roof without going past the air evacuation monitor Therefore: Rt~bg) = (147) (1.87E+08) (1/4.72E+06) (1/4.86E-03) (0.3) (0.7)
- 2.52E+05 cpm detector count rate for a maximum ground release rate based on the total body dose rate.
Next, the off-site skin dose rate limit for a ground release is evaluated from equation 3-4b in a similar fashion as follows: DSki = (3-4b) A composite skin dose factor, DF'c(g) can be defined such that: DFc(g) EQj = (QDFiZ)) (8-17) By substituting 8-17 into 3-4b and rearranging to solve for EQi the following equation is obtained: FM = Dfswz) (l/DF;) By inserting a limiting value of 3000 mrem/yr as Ds,.,) this simplifies to: XQj = 3000 (l/DF'c(g)) Insertion of this equation into equation 8-10 yields: Rskin(g) = 3000 Sg (1/F) (1/DFc(g)) (cpm) = (mrem/yr) (cpm-cm 3 /jiCi) (sec/cm 3 ) (tCi-yr/mrem-sec) B.8-1 7 ODCM Rev. 25
I I where: Rskin(g) = Count rate (cpm) for the maximum ground release rate based on the skin dose rate limit of 3000 mrem/yr. DFc(g) = The composite ground release skin dose factors which weights the combination of the combined skin dose factors (from ODCM Table B.1-10) of each radionuclide assumed to be in the gas mix in accordance with the fraction that it makes up of the total release. For the limiting noble gas mix associated with fuel gap activity at shutdown (see example calculation provided in Section 5.2.1.2), the value is equal to 6.80E-03 (mrem-sec/gCi-yr). As with the whole body dose rate above, the same two administrative fractions, fg and fglamd are also applied to the skin dose rate response. Therefore: Rskin(g) (3000) (1.87E+08) (1/4.72E+06) (1/6.80E-03) (0.3) (0.7)
- 3.67E+06 cpm detector count rate for a maximum ground release rate based on the skin dose rate.
Comparing the release rate limit for the total body to that of the skin (i.e., 2.52E+05 cpm versus 3.67E+06 cpm, respectively) it is determined that the release rate for the total body is limiting in this case. B.8-18 ODCM Rev. 25

I I APPENDIX A METHOD I DOSE CONVERSION FACTORS I. LIQUID PATHWAYS - SEABROOK SITE SPECIFIC DCF'S The models used to assess doses resulting from effluents into liquids is derived from Appendix A of Reg. Guide 1.109. Since Seabrook is a salt water site, the assumed pathways of exposure taken from Reg Guide 1.109 are Aquatic foods - fish; Aquatic foods -invertebrates; and dose from shoreline deposits (direct dose). No drinking water or irrigation pathways exist because of the salt water environment. In addition, exposures resulting from boating and swimming activities have been included for key radionuclides even though Reg. Guide 1.109 identifies these pathways as not contributing any significant contribution to the total dose, and therefore does not provide dose equations for them. For completeness, the swimming and boating pathways have been included using the dose models from the HERMES code (HEDL-TME-71-168, Dec. 1971) section G, Water Immersion. The Method I dose conversion factors are derived by calculating the dose impact to individuals via the site specific pathways for a unit activity release (I curie per nuclide). For each pathway, doses by radionuclide are calculated for each of the 7 organs (including whole body) for each of the four age groups (adult, teen, child, and infant). The Method I dose factor for each nuclide is then selected by taking the highest factor for any organ in any of the age groups for all the exposure pathways combined. The list of dose factors in the ODCM then represents a combination of different limiting organs and age groups which, when used to calculate a dose impact from a mix of radionuclides released in liquid effluents, gives a conservative dose since it combines the exposure to different organs and age groups as if there was a single critical organ-age group. As an example of how the liquid dose conversion factors are developed, the following calculation for Co-60 is shown. The critical organ/age group is selected based on the full assessment of all organs and age groups. Factor for fish Ingestion: The general equation for ingestion doses in RG 1.109 is eq.

Direct dose due to Swimming: The dose due to immersion in water (swimming) is taken from the HERMES computer code. The original ODCM calculation was based on some preliminary dilution assumptions which gave a near field prompt dilution factor for the multipart diffuser of 8. For single unit operation with both service water and circulating water flow (412,000 gpm), a value of 10 is more realistic. This surface area of the plume is restricted to a small area over the diffuser and does not touch the shoreline approx. 1 mile away. Since the over all impact from swimming is small when compared to the other exposure pathways, the original conservatism on dilution are kept here. The dose from swimming is given by the following equation: 1.0*1012 $

As can be seen, the contribution of the swimming dose is only about one 30000ths of the total of the RG 1.109 pathways, and can be ignored in the case of Co-60. Similarly, the boating dose as given in HERMES is taken as half of the swimming dose, (and corrected for change in usage assumptions). The resulting dose is found to be less than the swimming dose and can also therefore be discounted in this case. A-5 ODCM Rev. 21
II Total liquid Pathway dose: The sum of the above liquid pathway doses can now be added to give the total maximum individual dose to the critical organ (adult-GI-LLI) for Co-60. This gives: S 0.0 103 + 0.0245 + 0.0573 = 0.0921 mrem/yr Since the internal doses given by the RG-1.109 methods actually are 50 yr dose commitments resulting from one year exposure to the quantity of activity assumed to be released into the water, and the direct dose represents the dose received for the period assumed to be exposed to the pathway, and the activity release was taken as a unit quantity (i.e. Q = 1 Ci), the above total liquid pathway dose can be stated as site specific committed dose factor in mrem/Ci released. For Method I in the ODCM, the critical organ dose factor is seen to be 0.0921 mrem/Ci, as shown above. The value reported on Table B.1-1 1 (9.22 E-08 mremipCi) was generated by a computational routine which gives rise to the round-off difference between it and the above example. The whole body site specific dose factor for the ODCM was calculated in the same way treating the whole body as a separate organ. A-6 ODCM Rev. 21
I. GASEOUS PATHWAYS - SEABROOK SITE SPECIFIC DCF'S The models used to assess doses resulting from gaseous effluents in the form of iodines, tritium, and particulates are derived from Appendix C of Reg. Guide 1.109. For Seabrook, it is assumed that at the off site location which exhibits minimum atmospheric dilution for plant releases the following exposure pathways exist: inhalation, ground plane, ingestion of goats milk, meat, stored vegetables, and leafy vegetables. The Method I dose and dose rate factors are derived by calculating the dose impact to all age group individuals via the site specific pathways for a unit activity release (1 curie per nuclide). For each pathway, doses by nuclide are calculated for each of 7 organs (including the whole body) for each of the 4 age groups. The Method I dose factor for each nuclide is then selected by taking the highest factor for any organ in any of the age groups for all exposure pathways combined. The list of dose factors in the ODCM then represents a combination of different limiting organs and age groups which, when used to calculate the dose impact from a mix of radionuclides released into the atmosphere, gives a conservative dose since it combines the exposure to different organs and age groups as if they were for all the same critical organ-age group. As an example of how the gaseous particulate dose factors are developed, the following calculation for Mn-54 is shown. The critical organ/age group for Mn-54 was selected based on a full assessment ofall organ and age group combinations. For elevated releases from the plant vent stack to the maximum site boundary (max. dose point due to meteorology), the critical organ and age group for Mn-54 was determined to be the GI-LLI for the adult. PART A: INHALATION DOSE CONTRIBUTION The general equations for inhalation doses in RG 1.109 are eq.

II PART C: INGESTION DOSE CONTRIBUTION: As an initial step to determining the dose contribution from ingestion of milk, 'Meat, stored vegetables, and leafy vegetables, we must first calculate the radionuclide concentration in forage, produce, and leafy vegetables resulting from atmospheric tranfers of the activity to the surface of the vegetation and onto the soil for root uptake. For all radioiodines and particulate nuclides (except tritium and C-14), the concentration of nuclide i in and on the vegetation at a point of interest can be calculated using R.G. 1.109 equations C-5 and C-6, which combined gives: 1.14*0 ]*Qj*[r* I-e +Bi,,*I-eft *e-A*It, Q] J Q.Y.,1O*[ A PART C.1: Concentration in Produce (stored vegetables) For the case of Mn-54 released in air emissions to the maximum site boundary, the concentration of Mn in produce grown in the hypothetical garden at that location can be calculated from the above equation where the variables are defined as:

I- 'ejtb . 1 14*io*E.Q-1*Qi*r* +B1v** e^ =67.379 pCi/kg PART C.2: Leafy Vegetable Concentration For leafy vegetables, the above equation is repeated with the value for th, crop holdup time after harvest is changed from 1440 hrs to 24 hrs, i.e.: - th : 24 crop holdup time after harvest, in hrs. Therefore the concentration of Mn-54 in leafyyvegetables at the maximum deposition point due to a unit activity release is given as: 1.14*10*[ ] *Qi* [rI I , =76.811 VueA pCi/kg PART C.3.a: Animal Feed concentration (pasture): Cp Next, we can repeat the above calculation to determine the concentration of Mn-54 in pasture grass used as animal feed. This will allow for the determination of dose contribution from milk and meat. For pasture grass, all the above variables remain the same except for: Y, 0.70 for agricultural productivity of pasture grasses, kg/M2 720 for grass exposure time to plume, hrs th 0.0 for holdup time after harvest A-11 ODCM Rev. 21
II Using these variables in the above equation gives the concentration in pasture grass as: 1.14*i0s*[ .]*Qi [r M PA +Bijv l' *e'*z=179.227 pCi/kg PART C.3.b: Animal Feed Concentration (stored feed): C, For stored feed that would be given to goats, or meat animals, the average concentration would be calculated by changing the following variables in the above calculation to: Y, := 2.0 agricultural productivity for stored feed t := 1440 feed crop exposure time to plume in hrs th : 2160 feed crop holdup time after harvest, hrs Putting these values back into the above equation gives the concentration in stored animal feed (goat and meat animal) of Mn-54 for a unit activity release to the maximum exposure point. 1.14*10'*ID* *Q.* [ r*e +]R,* I; '=63.037 pCi/kg L QJI A Y" *,s PART C.3.c.: Concentration in Goat's Milk: Cm The Mn-54 concentration in milk is dependent on the amount and contamination level of the feed consumed by the animal. The radionuclide concentration in milk is estimated from RG 1.109 general equation C-10 as: F
- Cv
- QF
- e-A, = conc. in milk, pCi/liter where the variables are defined as:
Fm : 2.5*104 average fraction of animal's daily intake of Mn-54 which appears in each liter of rmilk, in days/liter QF 6.0 amount of feed consumed by a goat per day, in kglday (50 kg/d for meat) tr : 2.0 average transport time of activity from feed into milk and to receptor, in days. A-12 ODCM Rev. 21
i 2.22* 103 decay constant of Mn-54, in days-I In addition, the C, term for the concenitration of a nuclide in the animal's feed is given from RG 1.1 09 general equation C-Il as: ' C, = f
- f
- CP +1 - f]* C + fp* [-fJ]*C, where the following equals:
fp 0.5 fraction of the year that animals graze on pasture f 1.0 fraction of daily feed that is pasture grass when the animal grazes on pasture Cp 179.227 concenfration' of Mn-54 in pasture grass as calculated from above, pCi/kg Cs : 63.037 concentration of Mn-54 in stored feed as calculated from above, in pCi/kg Therefore, the concentration in the total animal's feed is estimated to be: fp*f *CP+[l..-fJ* C.+f* [l-fj* C, 121.132pCiIkg When this value of 121.132 is put back into the above general equation for nuclide concentration in milk, we get: [C, : 121.132 pCilkg I and Fm
- Cv
- QF* ei = 0.181 pCi/liter of Mn-54 in goats milk PART C.3.d.: Concentration in Meat: Cf Similar to milk, the concentration of the nuclide in animal meat is calculated. RG 1.109 general equation C-12 is given as: '-
Cf = Fr *Cv*QF*e "-'" Here the variables are set as:
- wT Ff8.0* 10- fraction of animals daily intake of Mn-54 which appears in each of flesh, in days/kg ckg QF := 50.0 animal's daily feed intake, in kg/day A-13 ODCM Rev.: 21
I I t, 20.0 average time from slaughter to consumption, in days C, 121.132 concentration on Mn-54 in animal's feed, same as calculated above for goat, in pCi/kg Therefore, the concentration of Mn-54 in animal meat is calculated to be: Fr
- Cv *QF*$e1 4 =4.635 pCi/kg in meat for Mn-54 PART D: DOSE FROM INGESTION OF FOODS PRODUCED AT MAXIMUM LOCATION Now that we have calculated the concentration of Mn-54 in milk, meat, leafy vegetables, and stored vegetables produced at a location of maximum air deposition, the resulting dose to any organ j and age group a can be calculated from the following general equation C-13 taken from RG 1.109:
ZDFIi.*[Uva *f, *Cv +Ur *C.+UF*Cf +UL.a*f *CL] For Mn-54 set equal to i, we find that from the evaluation of all organs for all age groups for combination of all exposure pathways, the adults GI-LLI is the critical age group/organ. Therefore, the variables in the above dose equation can be defined as: DFIija : 1.40*10-5 ingestion dose factor for adults/GI-LLI for Mn-54, in mrem/pCi ingested (RG 1.109, Table E-11) Uva1 := 520.0 vegetable ingestion rates for adults, kg/yr fg := 0.76 fraction of stored vegetables grown in the garden ft := 1.0 of leafy vegetables grown in the garden
- = 310.0 milk ingestion rate for adults, liter/yr uFa := 110.0 meat ingestion rate for adults, kg/yr ULa := 64.0 leafy vegetable ingestion rate for adults, kg/yr
- = 67.379 concentration of Mn-54 in stored vegetables, in pCi/kg (from above)
Cm := 0.181 concentration of Mn-54 in milk, in pCi/liter (from above) Cf := 4.635 concentration of Mn-54 in meat, in pCi/kg (from above) A-14 ODCM Rev. 21
CL 76.811 concentration of Mn-54 in leafy vegetables, in pCi/kg (from above) The dose from the combination of ingestion pathways for this example is calculated by substituting the above listed variables back into the ingestion dose equation: DFIija * [1Ua
- f,
- Cv + U.a
- Cm + UF.
- Cf + UL.
- fl
- CL] = 0.4495 mrem-/yr per Ci By breaking the above dose equation down into the different pathways which combine to give the total ingestion dose, we can see the individual dose contribution made by each exposure pathway.
Therefore, we have: Dose for ingestion DFl4a *U,, *fg *C, = 0.373 of stored vegetables Dose for ingestion DFIjja *Uma *Cm = 7.855*104 of goat's milk Dose for ingestion DFlIja *UF, *Cf = 0.00714 of meat Dose for ingestion DFIjja *ULa *f1 *CL = 0.0688 of leafy vegetables PART E: TOTAL DOSE FROM ALL EXPOSURE PATHWAYS The total dose from all exposure pathways assumed to be present at the maximum receptor location can be found by simply adding the individual pathway doses calculated above. Since all the calculations above assumed a unit activity release from the plant vent stack, the combined dose can be stated as dose factor per unit activity released. This then demonstrates the development of the Seabrook ODCM Method I dose factors for gaseous release of particulates from the vent stack. Inhalation dose (Part A) 0.00184 mnrem/yr per Ci Ground plane dose (Part B) 0.658 mrem/yr per Ci Ingestion dose total (Part D) 0.449 mrem/yr per Ci Total dose all pathways 1.11 mrem/yrperCi (critical organ is GI-LLI of an adult for Mn-54) A-15 ODCM Rev. 21

I Attachment 2
- 2. Resolution of EMS Software Test Report Discrepancies The following discrepancy resolutions apply to the findings contained in the "Effluent Management System Test Report for Seabrook Station, May 1994" as noted on pages 9 and 10 (see Attachment #1 of Appendix C of the ODCM). With the positive resolution of the discrepancies identified'in the EMS dose-code, use of EMS as a computerized alternative-approach (designated as Method IA in the ODCM) to determine compliance with the radioactive'effluent dose and dose rate limits is acceptable since the results are comparable with'-the currently approved dose methods.
Discrepancy: Mixing ratio for shoreline activity used in EMS Program not equal to the value used in the ODCM Method I (Mp - 1.0). Resolution: The mixing ratio for the shoreline activity pathway in the EMS is consistent with the ODCM Method II approved value of 0.025, and therefore does provide for a, calculated dose that is within the parameters already approved in the ODCM. The'use of the EMS code (ODCM Method'IA) for calculating liquid doses is acceptable for , determining compliance with the dose limits -of the Technical Specifications without the need to modify the assumption used for the shoreline mixing ratio. Discrepancv: EMS dose factors based on Fp (fraction of year animals are on pasture) value which is not consistent with ODCM. l Resolution: ODCM Method I assumes that the pasture season in the North East is 6 months long each year (Fp +'0.5). Method II allows for the pasture fraction to be set equal 'to 0.0 for the first and fourth quarters which equates'the'non-growing period of the year. "The second and third quarters'corres'pond to the growing season where the pasture fraction is'assumed to be'1.0.` Thei'EMS software assumes an Fp value,of 1.0 for animal grazing (meat aind milk pathways) for-all conditions. This is a - moderately conservative approach compared to Method I and the off grazing season conditions modeled in Method II. It is equal to the grazing season assumptions of Method II as applied in the second and third quarters. As a result, the added conservatism in the EMS calculations for doses via milk and meat pathways are within acceptable margins and guidance provided in NRC NUREG-0133 for demonstrating compliance with Technical Specification'dosezlimits. No changes to the EMS software are necessary. Discrelancv: l Shielding factors (SF) applied uniformly to dose rates and doses -in the EMS program. 1
Attachment 2 l 2. Resolution of EMS Software Test Report Discrepancies (Continued) Resolution: The EMS program for gaseous releases incorporates a shielding factor (SF) equal to 1.0 for both- dose rate and total dose determinations. In contrast, both Method I and II use a SF value of 1.0 instantaneous dose rate calculations, but a value of 0.7 for integrated doses based-on assumptions in NRC Reg. Guide 1.109. The use of a SF equal to 1.0 for the external ground plane exposure pathway. for both dose rate and total dose is a moderately conservative assumption that is within the bounds already assumed in the ODCM dose modeling. As a result, no modification to the EMS code as an acceptable approach (Method IA) for demonstrating compliance with Technical Specification dose/dose rate limits is required for SF: I Discreuancy: Incorrect receptor location identified on EMS printout for ground level release lpoint. I Resolution: Incorrect name is identified on report with no impact on dose or dose rate calculations which were verified to be correct. Discrepancy: Assumed fraction of elemental iodine used in EMS program differs from ODCH Methods I and II. Resolution: For ODCM Methods I and II, the fraction of elemental iodine assumed for gaseous releases-in 0.5 based on the guidance in NRC Reg. Guide 1.109. The EMS code assumes an elemental iodine fraction of 1.0-based on the guidance in NUREG-0133. Consequently, the EMS program (Method IA) will produce a moderately conservative estimate of dose impact (factor of 2); for iodine radionuclides if present in the release estimations when compared to existing approved methods. As a result, no modification to the EMS code is necessary for use in the ODCM for determining compliance with Technical Specification dose limits. I Discrepancy: Missing organ dose rate information on EMS printout for effluent discharges containing I-131, I-133, H-3, and particulates. l Resolution: This required information is easily obtainable from the permit closure process with flashing indication if any dose or dose rate limits are exceeded. 2

1.1 Background
Canberra Industries Inc. developed the EMS software to assist nuclear power plant personnel track effluent emissions and perform associated dose calculations.' North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation purchased a Seabrook-specific version the Canberra EMS software which must meet specific requirements and incorporate site-specific information -'provided in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) [2]. Software testing was conducted to provide assurances that the Seabrook EMS program produces results which are consistent with current ODCH assumptions and iethods. All executions of the EMS program were performed at Seabrook Station on the target software. All executions of ODCM Method II were conducted at Yankee Atomic Electric Company in Bolton, Massachusetts. - 1.2 Acceptance Criteria The operability of the EMS software will be accepted if (i) information contained in the EMS data files is consistent with'the ODCM, (ii) test results from the EMS program are consistent'with -results from ODCM methods, (iii) Technical Specifications requirements are met by the'EMS software, and (iv) the EMS software meets design specifications.' Final user (Seabrook) 'acceptance- is contingent on-Seabrook approval of verification testing results and'criteria'established by user needs. 1

SUMMARY
OF OBSERVATIONS The EMS software testing included (i) identifying appropriate meteorological set up data, (ii) review of dose and dose rate conversion factor development, (iii) assessments for liquid releases, and (iv) assessments for gaseous releases. ODCM Method I was used initially to confirm dose results from the EMS program.. However, the simplified nature of ODCM Method I made it difficult to change the values of various parameters or obtain meaningful comparisons (other than .bottom line" comparisons). The more adaptable ODCH method, Method II, was then used to confirm EMS doses. Observations made during the software testing are summarized below. 2.1 EMS Dose and. Dose Rate Conversion Factors The EMS software uses precalculated conversion factors which are contained in a data file. The dose conversion factors for both liquid and gaseous effluent releases were developed for-four age groups (adult, teen, child and infant), and for specific organs (bone, liver,total body, kidney, lung, GI tract and skin). The liquid release dose conversion factors in the EMS program are the summation of the components for water recreation and ingestion of aquatic foods. The gaseous release dose conversion factors are exposure pathway-specific (e.g., inhalation, ground plane, milk ingestion, etc.). Dose conversion factors are provided in the EMS program for all exposure pathways addressed in the ODCH. The development of all dose conversion factors in the EMS program followed the pathway-specific equations in the Effluent Management System Technical Reference Manual [3]. The EMS conversion factors for several radionuclides were-examined to determined that the development process was consistent to the Technical Reference Manual and the ODCM. 2
2.1.1 Liquid Release Dose Conversion Factors-Although the individual components for the ingestion of aquatic foods were found'to be consistent with the ODCM,. a discrepancy was discovered in the water recreation component. The mixing ratio. for shoreline activity. used in .the development of the EMS dose factors is 'equal to 0.025. While this value is inconsistent with ODCM Method I..(which.employs a mixing ratio of 0.1), it is consistent with ODCM Method II.- It' is identified as a discrepancy because it is unclear which set of ODCH assumptions (those for Method I or those for Method II) the EMS program is expected to adopt.- 2.1.2 Gaseous Release Dose Conversion Factors The EMS program uses dose conversion factors from Regulatory Guide 1.109 for assessment of noble gas releases. The dose factors in the EMS program were verified against and found to be consistent with Table B-1 of Regulatory Guide 1.109 [4]. The development methods for the other gaseous'dose factors (i.e., for inhalation, ground plane, milk -ingestion, meat ingestion, and ingestion of vegetables) were reviewed against applicable equations in the Technical Reference. Manual and information in the ODCM. It is noted that the dose factors for ingestion of milk and meat are based on the fraction of year that animals are allowed to graze on pasture land (Fp) equal to 1.0. This is not consistent with the ODCM which calls for the use of an Fp value equal to 0.5.-
-The dose conversion factors, in the EMS -.program for - gaseous releases incorporate a shielding factor- (SF) equal to 1.0. ;The EMS program is designed with a way of changing the value of SF (via use of the Options Table), but the factor is applied uniformly to both doses and dose rates. In contrast, the ODCM calls for the use of different values for SF in the calculations for doses and 3
I I dose rates. 2.2 Liquid Release Testing Dose estimates from the EMS program for hypothetical liquid effluent discharges (containing single nuclide- and radionuclide mixtures) are nearly. identical to results from ODCM Method II when input data are based on the same mixing ratio value, indicating that. the calculation method used in the EMS program is consistent with- the: ODCM. Additionally, the EMS routine(s) responsible for liquid effluent concentrations comparisons to MPC values and monitor set point determinations was observed to be operating properly. 2.3 Gaseous Release Testing The agreement between estimates for total body dose rates, skin dose rates, and air (gamma and beta) doses due to emission of noble gases from the ODCM methods and the EMS program is-excellent, indicating that the EMS calculation method is consistent with the ODCH. There is also excellent agreement between inhalation doses from the EMS program 'and ODCM Method II indicating that, for the inhalation pathway, the calculational' method and assumptions in the EMS program are consistent with those in 'the ODCM. The evaluation of the dose estimates via inhalation pathway included both long and short release durations for an elevated (mixed mode) and a ground level release point. The excellent agreement between the EMS and ODCK Method II also confirms that the release duration adjustment term, t-a, is applied properly in the EMS program. However, an incorrect' receptor location was reported' on'the EMS printout in the tests (D-2c and D-2d) in which the Plant Vent was changed to be' recognized as a ground level release point. Also noted' during testing was that the EMS routine(s) responsible for calculating effluent concentration-to-MPC ratios and radionuclide release rates 4
appears to be operating properly for gaseous releases. The EMS program incorporates the assumption that the fraction of elemental iodine is equal to 1.0 (consistent with NUREG-0133 [5]). In contrast, the fraction of elemental iodine is assumed equal to 0.5 in the ODCM methods (consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.109). Consequently, the EMS program produces dose estimates due to radioiodine that are at least a factor of two greater than doses from the ODCH methods. This difference increases to about a factor of 4 when the current values for Fp and SF assumed in the EMS program and ODCM methods are used in the dose calculations. The different assumptions for elemental iodine fractions should not present a problem because each program is based on NRC guidance: the EMS is based on NUREG-0133, the ODCM methods are based on Regulatory Guide 1.109. The EMS program takes the more conservative approach for determining doses from radioiodine. Making appropriate adjustments for Fp, SF, and the fraction of elemental iodine (when radioiodine input was used) and comparing results for organ doses due to 1131, H3, Co6O and Csl37 revealed that the calculational methods used in the EMS program are consistent with the ODCM for all exposure pathways (i.e., ground plane, inhalation, milk ingestion, meat ingestion, and vegetables ingestion). Technical Specification 3.11.2.1 and the ODCM require the calculation of organ dose rates due to effluent discharges of 1131, 1133, H3 and particulates with a half-life greater than 8 days. However, in all test cases involving these types of nuclides, organ dose rate information did not appear on Page 4 of the EMS printout. Instead, the message 'No calculations performed - check Sample & Receptors" appeared. The EMS set up data and input were reviewed with no apparent error identified. Since the test cases included Csl37, Co6O, I131, and 5
I I H3, the missing dose rate information was.uriexpected. It is noted that organ. dose rate information' was provided on Page 4 of the EMS printout during a demonstration of the EMS program prior to testing. 6
3.0 TEST CONCLUSIONS Although the dose conversion factors are based on information which is not completely consistent with the assumptions in the ODCM, the calculational methods used to determine doses from liquid and gaseous effluent discharges are consistent with the ODCH methods.' - Other conclusions are:
- 1. As stated in Section 2.1.1, the development of the EMS liquid effluent dose factors is consistent with ODCM Method II, but not with Method I due to the mixing ratio value. If the EMS program is intended to be a hybrid method, the dose factors are consistent with the ODCM and are acceptable.
On the other hand, if the EMS program is intended to provide automated ODCM Method I calculations, then the dose factor should be recalculated using a mixing ratio for shoreline activity equal to 0.1.
- 2. Since the EMS program is not designed to support the use of two shielding factors (one for dose rates and one for doses), use of a shielding factor equal to 1.0 is acceptable with the understanding that, although the dose rates produced by the EMS program will be consistent with the ODCM, the doses from the EMS program will be based on a more conservative assumption than doses from the ODCM methods.
- 3. Under the normal ODCM assumption for elemental iodine, the results from the EMS program will be at least a factor of two greater than results from the ODCM methods. The different assumptions regarding the elemental iodine fraction do not present a problem because each program is based on NRC guidance: the EMS program is based on NUREG-0133, and the ODCM is based on Regulatory Guide 1.109. Of the two methods, the EMS program takes the more conservative approach toward estimating doses from 7
I I radioiodine in gaseous effluent.
- 4. The radiation monitor set point determination method for liquid releases produces a set point value that is consistent the ODCH set point method.
- 5. The EMS routine that is responsible for comparison of liquid effluent concentrations and MPC values is operating properly.
- 6. The release duration adjustment term, ta, is used consistently to the ODCM.

.0, CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The Effluent Management System (EMS) Software implements the requirements for determining limits and doses for the routine liquid and gaseous releases from nuclear power plants. The calculations and methodology are based ,on.those described in U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulatory Guide 1.109 and references described therein. These equationsreduce to those described in NUREG-0133 by properselection of parameters.
This manual describes the..calculations used in the LRW/GRW,.program for handling liquid and gaseous releases and preparing the semi-annual report, and the equations used in the DFP option for calculating the relevant dose factors. This manual describes the new 10CFR20 (1992) as well as old 10CFR2Q requirements. For' a nuclear power plant, the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) describes the methods -used at that plant for complying with 0 . the effluent release portions of the technical specificat ons and the requirements of 10CFR20 and Appendix I of 10CFR50. The concentration and dose limits that are required to be met are: o For radioactive liquid effluents, the concentrations released to areas beyond the site boundary are limited to: MPC values given in old 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table II. OR - ECL values given 'in new 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2. where ECL values are effluent concentration limit values. o For radioactive liquid'effluents, the maximum dose-to any member of,.the public will be less than the limits given in 10CFR50, Appendix I; o For gaseous effluents,'the- old 10CFR20 requires that the dose -rate at any location beyond the site boundary will be limited to the annual dose limits given in the Technical Specifications and' corresponding to the concentrations in Appendix B of the old 3OCFR20. The old 10CFR20 approach for gaseous effluents has been accepted by the NRC for use le. under the new 10CFR20. 1-1 age r~vu
II o For gaseous effluents, the maximum dose to any member of the public will be less than the limits given in 10CFR50, Appendix I. o The maximum dose to any member of the public will not exceed the limits given in 40CFR190. The equations employed for calculating the dose and dose factors are taken from NUREG-0133 1 and Regulatory Guide 1.109.2 For a particular nuclear plant,. the ODCM describes the physical configuration of release sources and release points for routine and non-routine liquid and gaseous effluents, the monitor setpoint calculations, dose, and dose rate calculations. .1.1 SETPOINT CALCULATIONS Calculations are made for the radiation monitors to determine the alarm/trip setpoint so that 10CFR20 compliance is met. For the old 10CFR20 compliance, liquid calculations use the maximum permissible concentrations from 10CFR20 App. B, Table 2, column 2, and the more conservative value (smaller) of the soluble and insoluble values while gas calculations use dose rate equations and limits from NUREG-0133. To comply with the new 10CFR20 requirements, the effluent concentration limits are used for liquid setpoint calculations. For gaseous setpoint calculations under the new 10CFR20, the NRC is still allowing the use of dose rate equations and limits from NUREG-0133.. In the terminology of EMS, individual sources of radiation, such as storage tanks, the. containment building, etc., are defined as "release points." Several release points may lead to the same "discharge point." Setpoint calculations produce monitor limiting values in activity units (pCi/ml or pCi/cc). These are then converted to user units, e.g; counts per minute (cpm). For gaseous releases, setpoint can be reported as release rates (pCi/sec}. The reporting units for each monitor can be defined separately. EMS allows setpoints to be set for both the release points and the discharge points. In the case that the release point and the discharge point are the same, or use the same physical monitor, the same discharge setpoint value is reported for both. This use of the same discharge setpoint value can be disabled.
'S 1-2 PD 41
0 '_ EMS has a "nuclide specific" option. in this option only the nuclides listed in the monitor slope table are used in the setpoint calculations. 1.2 RELEASE PROCESSING For batch releases, the processing of releases consists of sampling the tank or volume of air, analyzing the radionuclide content, then using the radionuclide' concentrations and estimated release flows, volumes, etc. and 6alculating the doses and setpoints, comparing to the IOCFR20 limits, and -comparing to the 10CFRSO limits.- If the limits are not exceeded, the pre-release permit is signed off 'and the release can occur. After the-release, post-release processing performs the same calculations (except the setpoints are not needed) and the database is updated with the actual values for the release. For continuous releases, -many installations prefer not, to generate an actual pre-release permit, but for the sake of analogous operation, pre-release"'calculations must still be made 'in EMS. After review, the post-release calculations are made to update the database. EMS does not allow more that'one.'open release'at a time for a single release point. However, multiple releases may be open for'one discharge point. Also, for discharge points, the setpoint is calculated by summing over all open releases for the time period involved. An alternative approach if a new permit must be opened before the actual information for the previous permit are available is to go ahead and close the release using the pre-release values and then edit this closed release later when the actual information becomes available.
- -10 1.3 COMPOSITE NUCLIDES The standard radionuclide analysis, with high-resolution germanium detectors, quantifies the gamma-emitting radionuclides. Pure beta emitters, nuclides that decay by X-capture, and alpha emitters are handled with other detection mechanisms. These are usually not tracked individually by sample, but as a composite of many samples over a month or quarter period. The concentrations of the composite nuclides are combined with the concentrations of the individual nuclides determined from gamma analysis for each sample.
- i-3 P5'4z 0tLn4%. 2
For liquid releases, the composite nuclides are generally H-3, Fe-55, Sr-89, Sr-90, and gross alpha. For gaseous releases, Fe-55 is generally not included. S,' In EMS, these are contained in an editable file designated by the composite ID number. Each release point definition specifies which composite ID is used with the release point. These can be the composite nuclides, or any other nuclides desired. Composite samples produced by taking portions of the samples from individual releases are analyzed after the releases are over. Since these generally do not vary much from one period to the neXt, it is common to use the most recent values. However, EMS provides the option of updating the composite values for the proper time period and recalculating the activity and dose.values in the database. The EMS composite update process processes only those nuclides listed in the .Composite ID for.the release point. For each nuclide, the curies and doses based on the previous value are subtracted from the cumulative totals and the curies and doses based on the correct value are added into the cumulative totals.

0 0 CHAPTER 2 LIQUID-RELEASE CALCULATIONS 2.1 LIQUID PRE-RELEASE PERMIT A liquid pre-release permit is generated with a program that uses the nuclide activities to determine the radiation monitor setpoint (for 10CFR20 compliance) and the potential doses for 10CFI.50 compliance. Continuous releases are treated similarly.
- -0 2.2 10CFR20 COMPLIANCE 10CFR20 compliance calculations are broken down into two paths. The first path calculates com~pliance with the old 10CFR20 in which the calculations are based on Maximum Permissible Concentrations. The second path complies with the new IOCFR20 and is Effluent Concentration Limits based.
10CFR20 requires that the sum of concentrations divided by MPC (old 10CFR20) or ECL (new 10CFR20) values must not exceed unity for MPCs or 10 for ECLs: OLD 10CFR20 NEW 0CFR20 S = X. C./MPCi S I I 1 1. OR , S - Z. C./ECL. ' 10

II Dissolved and Entrained Gases To implement 10CFR20, it is also required that the total concentration of dissolved and entrained gases in liquid effluents be less than a specified value (normally, 2 E-04 pCi/mL under OLD 10CFR20, or 1 E-04 pCi/mL under NEW 10CFR20). EMS stores this limit in the Activity Limits transaction, checks this limit for each liquid permit, and indicates on the permit approval screen whether or not it is exceeded. To include dissolved noble gases in the Dreg calculation, the database must also contain the same limiting value, as the liquid MPC or ECL for each noble gas nuclide. 2.3 MAXIMUM WASTE FLOW The maximum waste flow calculation is based on the setting of the SETOPT option in the WFLOW M class of options in the Release Point Setpoint definition. This option can take on four values: NONE, NWAS (no waste), CALC or DOSE. For liquid releases, NONE, NWAS, and CALC are allowed. For liquid releases, Wmax the minimum of Rwmax and Rcwma_ where Wman = Maximum permissible waste flow rate for this release Rwmax = Release point maximum waste flow rate, as-set in the release point definition If the SETOPT option-- NONE: R = waste flow rate for the sample, Fwaste If the required dilution factor, Dreq (section 2.2) for the sample is greater than 1, Rcwmax becomes: Favail *falloc Rc~wmax =~ Dreq 1.0 If the SETOPT option = CALC Favail ' falloc + Fwaste Rcwmax, Dreq 2-4 P o

A setpoint adjustment factor, Sadj is determined from the value of Dreq' l ,* ' 2-5 P L48
If Dreq > 1 or the dilution factor option is N, and the setpoint equation is set to STD: Sadj = Dant / Dreq If the dilution factor option is Y. and 0 < Dreq < 1.0 or if the dilution factor option is Y, and the setpoint equation is set to NO DIL, then no credit is taken for dilution, and the setpoint adjustment factor is: Sadj = 1/Dreq If neither of these conditions is true, Sadj = 0. After the above tests, further tests are made based on the setting of the setpoint equation option, SETPEQN. These may change Sadj as follows: If the SETP EON is set to DILUTf and Fwaste > 0, then: rant + Ewaste Sadj Fwaste If the SETPEQN is set to STD, and the SETOPT option is set to NWAS, and Fwaste > 0, then: s falloc Favali 5 adj - Fwaste.

Sadj D Dreqg Otherwise, Sadj is unchanged. The setpoint adjustment factor is further tested against a limiting value (Sadjlim which is set using the.Release Point transaction in Database Ma.ntenance). If Sadj > Sadjlim then Sadj inSadjlim. All of this leads to the maximum setpoint value, Sna_, based on the gamma-emitting radionuclide mix: S (Pci/m1)~= S I C. @ max adj . where the sum extends over -all gamma-emitting nuclides (nudlides of type other than 0) in which -their concentrations are.greater than 0.

II EMS provides an option to calculate nuclide specific responses so that Rmon is the sum of responses for each nuclide, rather than the sum of the nuclide concentrations, as shown above. In the nuclide-specific case, 2 R = Z [offset.+ slope.o C. + quad. (C + B mon 1 1 1 1 where the sum extends over all nuclides which have response factors stored in the database for the monitor of interest. Recommended Setpoint The setpoint recommended for actual use is based on a comparison of the maximum setpoint calculated as above, to setpoints based on expected response time a tolerance factor (to allow for variations in monitor response during release) and to default values determined by the user. The user can restrict which setpoint value is usually reported by what values are used when setting these tolerance factors and default setpoint values. The default setpoint in user units (e.g. cpm). can be defined with or without background included. If the cunitnopt parameter (defined in the release point and discharge point tables) equals 0, the default value does not include background; and the current background is added to the default value to get the reported default setpoint. Otherwise, the current background is not added to the default value. Setpoint in VCi/ml Note: In this version of the software, the reported setpoint is the user units setpoint. The setpoint calculations using the original concentrations (pCifml) is. still being -done by the software and stored in the sampledata table. To get reported setpoints in pCi/ml, the monitor slope should be set to 1.0 in the Release Point transaction of Database Maintenance and the UNITS parameter for the monitor should be set to pCi/ml in the Activity Monitors transaction. If the Isotopic specific response option is turned on for the release point,.then this individual nuclide slopes in the Monitor Slopes can be used to map the response from the nuclide to that of a monitor calibration source (e.g. Cs137 equivalent response) 2-8 P5i

The user units setpoint, as calculated above for the setpoint in pCi/ml units, will be multiplied by the corresponding 'effluent flow rate (release point or discharge point) for the monitor to get a reported setpoint in pCi/sec. 2.6 DOSE CALCULATIONS FOR LIQUID RELEASES The EMS software calculates and stores the dose for each receptor, for-each nuclide, and for each organ. The dose is the total.over all pathways which apply to that receptor. A receptor is defined by receptor ID, age group (infant, child, teen, or adult), sector, and distance from the plant. The equation used in the liquid permit processing to calculate the dose received by receptor r from a released nuclide i is: m Ai. Z Ats Ci F where: The sum extends over all time periods. DiTr the cumulative dose or dose commitment to the total body or an organ T by nuclide i for receptor r from the liquid effluents for the total time period of the release, in mrem. AiTr site-related'ingestion dose or dose commitment factor for receptor r to the total body or organ T for radionuclide i, in mrem/hr per pCi/ml. AiTr is available as an editable table, but can be recalculated with different parameters and pathways with the Dose Factor Processing (DFP) option. The 2-13 Pn5t OL0DC4&Ae g2Q
equations used are presented in Chapter 4 of this manual. N Ats = length of time period s, over which the concentration and F value are averaged, for all liquid releases, in hours. cis the average concentration of radionuclide i in undiluted liquid effluent during time period At 8 from any liquid release, in yCi/ml. Fsr the near. field average dilution factor for receptor r during any liquid effluent release. F F = sr Denom The value of Denom depends upon several variables and nested.if statements. The derivation of the Denom value is shown in the logic and equations shown below. 2-14 mf S I

Where: Fst m= River stream flow past the site in user liquid flow rate units. The value used during permit processing is the value obtained from the STATIONDATA table. The'.value is entered into the STATIONDATA table using the QBF-utility. If the value is to be changed often, it would be possible to write a command procedure which get the value from the user and write it into the table. Fw flow rate of undiluted waste effluent in user liquid flow rate units. Uf/60 - Flow rate units conversion factor for liquid releases/60. Uf converts from user units to CFM so this factor converts to CES. Fdil = flow rate of-the dilution flow in user liquid flow rate units. Rmix mixing ratio -fraction of the release that reaches the receptor. Separate mixing ratios are stored for each pathway for each receptor. A mixing, ratio of zero for a pathway receptor indicates that the pathway is not present for the receptor. The first non-zero value is used in the dose calculation. The different mixing ratios for the pathways are incorporated into the composite Ai factors calculated by the dose factor processing (DFP) program. Fqvol= Flow rate from user entered quarterly dilution flow rate. These values are fromi the AFLOW column of the QDVOL table' for the' release. If stream flow option is being used and the average river stream flow is known at the time the liquid release is processed, then the command procedure which runs the liquid permit processing could be' modified to ask for the stream flow value and put it into the stationdata table before the permit is processed. If the average river stream flow is not known at the time the liquid release is processed, then some other provision,must be made for correcting the cumulative dose totals in the CUMDOSE table so that it is based on the correct stream flow value. If the average stream'flow for 2-16
0 the month is used, then each liquid'release point-entry in the CUMDOSE table for the month could be multiplied by the ratio of the actual stream flow for the month divided by the default value contained in the STATIONDATA table. Caution: Since there is no record stored in the database of what stream flow value was used to calculate the dose values, the user must verify that no correction is applied more than -once to each dose value. 2.7 31 DAY PROJECTED DOSE CALCULATIONS The 31 Day Projected Dose values appear on the Standard and Special Permit Reports. The Projected Dose values are calculated as follows: DPT _(DT
- aT Pi where:
DPT =the 31 Day Projected Dose by organ T, by reactor unit DT =the total dose in mrem by organ T, by reactor unit for the quarter containing the release start date from all 0 closed and open releases when an answer of "YV is specified for the "Update Totals" field on the release point definition screen.- p =the Projection Factor which is the result of 31 divided by the number of days from start of the quarter containing the release start date to the end of the release. The quarterly and annual projection values on the standard pre-release report use a projection factor with 92 days or 365 days instead of 31 days in the numerator and do not include the additional anticipated dose term. DaT 'Additional Anticipated Dose for liquid releases by organ T and quarter of release by reactor unit. NOTE: The 31 day dose projections on the Approval/Results screen is the site total for all units.' 2.8 POST-RELEASE PROCESSING After the release is made, actual concentrations are used to check
- 0. 10CFR20 limits, and the actual dilution flow and waste flow are used instead of the anticipated dilution flow and waste flow.

I' For batch releases, the duration is determined from the start and end dates and times, and is-used with the volume input to calculate the release rate. I., Dose calculations are-the same as for the pre-release, but with actual release flow rates and release duration.

.CHAPTER 3 GASEOUS RELEASE CALCULATIONS The "annual average X/Q" method is used, in which fixed X/Q and D/Q values are used for each, receptor for all-dose calculations, regardless of actual wind direction and speed prevailing during a given release. Doses are calculated for each receptor location and 0* age group specified in the Gas Receptors transaction. The controlling individual is the age group and location which receives the maximum organ dose.
3.1 GAS PRE-RELEASE PERMIT The pre-release permit is produced by a program that uses user-entered estimates of flow rates and release times to calculate doses and activities. The dose rate from the potential release is added to the maximum dose rate occurring for all other releases during the duration of this release for 10CFR20 compliance. The noble gas or air doses and the organ doses are checked against the corresponding limits for 10CFR50 compliance. 3.2 R.ADIONUCLIDE ACTIVITIES AND COMPOSITE VALUES The radionuclide results are read from one set of composite activity database records,-and from three spectrum analysis result files, and saved in an activity array; If a nuclide'appears in more than one spectrum, only the last value read for that nuclide is used. In S.9 case of duplication, the one not desired should be edited out of the nuclide list. The samples are read in the following order: 3-1 c f i_v Z, z -

- 2. Particulate File
- 3. Radioiodine File
- 4. Noble Gas File The activity (Qi) and the activity release rate (;i) are calculated for each nuclide i.

Pre-releases that have not been completed, and which occur during the release under consideration, are also added into the maximum dose rate to account for releases not yet added to the cumulative totals. The three dose rates (whole body, skin, organ) are compared to the old 10CFR20 limits (old and new 10CFR20 are described below) as defined in the Dose Limits transaction in Database Maintenance.

3.4a SETPOINTS Setpoints are determined for radiation monitors on individual release points, and also for radiation monitors at the discharge points that may combine the effluent from several release points. Calculations for the monitor response are made for noble gases, radioiodines, and particulates. For a release point, the expected monitor response to a given nuclide concentration is: RMon = monitor response (cpm) i B
- offset + [slope
- vCi] + [quad' (vCi) 2 ] + B 3-6 Ace rev zoo
0 - where offset, slope, and quad are the coefficients in a quadratic fit to the monitor response-to nuclide activity, and B is the monitor background. EMS provides an option to calculate nuclide specific responses so that Rmon is determined from the response for each nuclide, rather than the sum of the nuclide concentrations, as shown above. In that case, - Rmon ( offseti + [slopei

The maximum exposed individual is determined by the maximum dose received by any organ. The summation extends over all applicable nuclides and pathways. 3.7 RESOLVING DOUBLE-COUNTING'OF DOSE AND ACTIVITY Gaseous release points fall into three categories for double-counting of dose and activity. One, a release point will not have activity sampled twice. Two, a release point can have activity that is sampled again downstream and would be double-counted if no corrections were applied. Three, a release point can have samples containing activity already sampled once upstream which would be double-counted if no corrections were applied. The last two categories can be called the "CAUSE" release point and the "EFFECT" release point, respectively. To avoid double-counting dose and' activity, only the "EFFECT" release point will have its activity and concentrations corrected as follows. Corrected activity is calculated as follows: Acei =Ae. -Aci where: Acei =the corrected ;'EFFECT" release point activity for nuclide i which defaults to zero if its value is less than zero. Aei =the initial nEFFECT" release point activity for nuclide ei Aci -the "CAUSE" release point activity for nuclide i Corrected concentrations are' calculated as follows: Ccei = (Acei / Ve)

3.8 31 DAY PROJECTED DOSE CAtCULATIONS The 31 Day Projected Dose values appear on the Standard and Special Permit Reports. The Projected-Dose values are calculated as follows: DpT -(DT

The quarterly and annual projection values on the standard pre-release report use a projection factor with 92 days or 365 days instead of 31 days in the numerator and do not include the additional anticipated dose term.

3.9 GAS POST-RELEASE PROCESSING After a pre-release permit has been approved, the post-release program is run to: o Enter actual release start and stop times, flow rates, etc. o Check 10CFR20 limits o Check 10CFR50 limits o Add the dose and activity data into the cumulative totals. Compliance with 10CFR20 limits is checked in the same way as described for the pre-release program. Dose rates are calculated and compared to lOCPR20 limits. Monitor setpoints are not calculated at the post release stage.

CHAPTER 5 GAS DOSE FACTOR CALCULATIONS The DFP option is used to calculate the gas dose factors described previously. Dose factors are calculated-separately for each nuclide, organ, and age group. The age group, applied to a specific receptor's dose calculations, is part of the receptor specification. The same gas dose factors are used for both the site boundary dose rate calculations and for the maximum individual controlling location dose calculation. The dose factor for each particulate or iodine nuclide i (or tritium) is given-below. It is a function of pathway, organ, and age group. The pathways considered are:
