OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (REMP) 1.0 Introduction This attachment contains the ODCM for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program which was previously contained in AP 07B-003. This program is provided to monitor the radiation and radionuclides in the environs of the plant. The program provides (1) representative measurements of radioactivity in the highest potential exposure pathways, and (2) verification of the accuracy of the effluent monitoring program and modeling of environmental exposure pathways. This program conforms to the guidance of Appendix I to 10 CFR part 50 and includes the following:
1.Monitoring, sampling, analysis and reporting of radiation and radionuclides in the environment.
- 2. A Land Use Census to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the site boundary are identified and the modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census, and 3.Participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive materials in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environmental monitoring.
This attachment also provides a description of the information that should be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
2.0 Liquid Effluents (Contained in AP 07B-003) 3.0 Gaseous Effluents (Contained in AP 07B-003) 4.0 Total Dose (Contained in AP 07B-003) 5.0 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program This section describes the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for Wolf Creek Generating Station.

Figures 5.1 through 5.5 contain maps depicting sampling locations in relation to the WCGS site. Table 5-2 lists distances and directions to these locations from the WCGS site.
Table 5-3 lists required detection capabilities for the analyses performed.
5.2 Land Use Census A Land Use Census shall be conducted annually during the growing season to identify the nearest (1) milk animal, (2) residence, and (3) garden of greater than 500 square feet producing broadleaf vegetation in each of the 16 meteorological sections within five miles of the WCGS site. (Broadleaf vegetation sampling of available vegetation may be performed at the site boundary in each of two different direction sectors with the highest predicted D/Qs in lieu of the garden census.
Specifications for broadleaf vegetation sampling in Table 5-1 shall be followed, including analysis of control samples.)
Methods shall be used in conducting the census that provide the best results, such as door-to-door surveys, telephone surveys, consulting the U.S.D.A. office in Burlington, inspection of aerial photographs of the area, or reviewing leasing records for area farms and residences.
If a location(s) is identified which 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, and the cooperator agrees, the new location(s) shall be added to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. The indicator sampling location(s) having the lowest calculated dose or dose commitment may then be deleted from the monitoring program.
The results of the Land Use Census shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report described in Section 7.1.
5.3 Interlaboratory Comparison Program The analysis laboratory contracted to analyze samples from the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program participates in the EPA Laboratory Intercomparison Program or similar program.
A summary of intercomparison results shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report described in Section 7.1.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (REMP) 5.4 Reporting Requirements 5.4.1 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report To meet the requirements of Wolf Creek Technical Specification 5.6.2, the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report covering the operation of the unit during the previous calendar year shall be submitted to the NRC before May 1 of each year.
The content of this report is described in Section 7.1.
5.4.2 Special Reports A special report shall be prepared and submitted to the NRC within 30 days if levels of radioactivity as a result of plant effluents detected in an environmental medium at a specified location exceed the reporting levels of Table 5-4 when averaged over any calendar quarter. The special report shall identify the cause(s) for exceeding the limit(s) and define the corrective actions to be taken to reduce radioactive effluents so that the potential annual dose* to a member of the public is less than the calendar year limits of Wolf Creek Technical Specification 5.5.4. When one or more of the radionuclides in Table 5-4 is detected in the sampling medium, this report shall be submitted if:
Concentration (1) + Concentration (2) +..21.0 Reporting Level (1) Reporting Level (2)
When radionuclides other than those in Table 5-4 are detected and are the result of plant effluents, this report shall be submitted if the potential annual dose* to a member of the public from all radionuclides is equal to or greater than the calendar year limits of Technical Specification 5.5.4. (*The methodology and parameters used to estimate the potential annual dose to a member of the public shall be indicated in this report.)

TABLE 5-1 (Continued)
TABLE NOTATIONS (1) Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment, and other legitimate reasons. If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, every 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 described in Section 7.1.
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 specific alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathway in question and appropriate substitutions made.
(2) Airborne particulate sample filters shall be analyzed for gross beta radioactivity 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or more after sampling to allow for Rn-220 and Rn-222 daughter decay. If gross beta activity in air particulate samples is greater than 10 times the yearly mean of control samples, gamma isotopic analysis shall be performed on the individual samples.
(3) Gamma isotopic analysis means the identification and quantification of gamma-emitting radionuclides that may be attributable to the effluents from the facility.
(4) One or more instruments, such as a pressurized ion chamber, for measuring and recording dose rate continuously may be used in place of, or in addition to, integrating dosimeters. For the purposes of this table, a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is considered to be one phosphor; two or more phosphors in a packet are considered as two or more dosimeters. Film badges shall not be used as dosimeters for measuring direct radiation. The 40 stations are not an absolute number. The number of direct radiation monitoring stations may be reduced according to geographical limitations, e.g., some sectors are over water so that the number of dosimeters may be reduced accordingly. The frequency or analysis or readout for the TLD system depends upon the characteristics of the specific system used and is selected to obtain optimum dose information with minimal fading.

TABLE 5-1 (Continued)
TABLE NOTATIONS (5) The "upstream" sample is taken at a distance beyond significant influence of the discharge.
(6) Ground water samples shall be taken when this source is tapped for drinking or irrigation purposes in areas where the hydraulic gradient or recharge properties are suitable for contamination.
(7) A composite sample is one in which the quantity (aliquot) of liquid sampled is consistent over the sampling period and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen that is representative of the liquid concentrate. In this program, composite sample aliquots shall be collected at time intervals that are very short (e.g., every two hours) relative to the compositing period (e.g., monthly) in order to assure obtaining a representative sample.
(8) If the dose calculated for consumption of water (using ODCM methodology and parameters) exceeds one millirem per year, composite sampling at the indicator location shall be performed every two weeks and I-131 analysis shall be performed on the composite samples.
(9) Milk and broadleaf vegetation samples are often temporarily, but not permanently, unavailable at the scheduled sample collection times.
Alternate sampling locations may therefore be listed in the Table and used at these times to provide continued monitoring of these pathways.
If samples are considered permanently unavailable at a location, another location will be selected (if available) as described in Note (1).
(10) If harvest occurs more than once a year, sampling shall be performed during each discrete harvest. If harvest occurs continuously, sampling shall be monthly. Attention shall be paid to including samples of tuberous and root food products.
(11) The purpose of this sample is to obtain background information. If it is not practical to establish control locations in accordance with the distance and wind direction criteria, other sites that provide valid background data may be substituted.

LLD 4.6s En V.x 2.22 .Y. exp(-2AAt)
Where:
LLD the "a priori" lower limit of detection (picoCuries per unit mass or volume),
Sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),
E = the counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),
V = the sample size (units of mass or volume),
2.22 = the number of disintegrations per minute per picoCurie, Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable, A = the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide (sec 1), and At = the elapsed time between sample collection, or end of the sampl collection period, and time of counting (sec).
Typical values of E, V, Y, and At should be used in the calculation.

TABLE NOTATIONS It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidable small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors shall be identified and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report described in Section 7.1.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (REMP) 6.0 Bases The bases contained on the succeeding pages summarize the general requirements of Section 5.0 of the ODCM (REMP).
Section 2.0 Liquid Effluents (Contained in AP 07B-003)
Section 3.0 Gaseous Effluents (Contained in AP 07B-003)
Section 4.0 Total Dose (Contained in AP 07B-003)
Section 5.0 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Section 5.1 Monitoring Program The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program 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 station operation.
This monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring, Revision 1, November 1979.
The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.
Detailed discussion of the LLD, and other detection limits, can be found in HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revised annually),
Currie, L.A., "Limits for Qualitative Detection and Quantitative Determination-Application to Radiochemistry," Anal. Chem. 40, 586-93 (1968), and Hartwell, J.K., "Detection Limits for Radioanalytical Counting Techniques," Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company Report ARH-SA-215 (June 1975).

Section 5.2 Land Use Census This section is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modifications to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program given in the ODCM are made if required by the results of this census. Information that will provide the best results, such as door-to-door survey, aerial survey, or 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 assume 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 broadleaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage), and (2) a vegetation yield of 2 kg/m 2 .
Section 5.3 Interlaboratory Comparison Program The requirement for participation in an approved Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are valid for the purposes of Section IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.
7.0 Reports 7.1 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report shall include summaries, interpretations, and analysis of trends of the results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for the reporting period. The material provided shall be consistent with the objectives outlined in (1) the ODCM and (2)
Sections IV.B.2, IV.B.3 and IV.C of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 (Reference Step 3.1.5), including a comparison with preoperational studies, with operational controls and with previous environmental surveillance reports, and an assessment of the observed impacts of the plant operation on the environment. The report shall also include the results of the Land Use Census described in Section 5.2.

The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report shall include the results of analysis of all radiological environmental samples and of all environmental radiation measurements taken during the period pursuant to the locations specified in Table 5-1 as well as summarized and tabulated results of these analyses and measurements in the format of the table in the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position, Revision 1, November 1979. In the event that some individual results are not available for inclusion with the report, the report shall be submitted noting and explaining the reasons for the missing results. The missing data shall be submitted as soon as possible in a supplementary report.
The report shall also include the following: a summary description of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program; legible maps covering all sampling locations keyed to a table giving distances and directions from the centerline of the reactor; the results of licensee participation in the Interlaboratory Comparison Program and the corrective actions being taken if the specified program is not being performed as required by Section 5.3; reasons for not conducting the Radiological Environmental Program as required by Section 5.1 with plans for preventing a recurrence and discussion of all deviations from the sampling schedule of Table 5-1; discussion of environmental sample measurements that exceed the reporting levels of Table 5-4 but are not the result of plant effluents, and discussions of all analyses in which the LLD required by Table 5-3 was not achieved.
