SUMMARY

AMERGEN ENERGY COMPANY OYSTER CREEK GENERATING STATION ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 1, 2004 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2004 This report summarizes the radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents from the Oyster Creek Generating Station and the calculated maximum hypothetical radiation exposure to the public resulting from those effluents. This report covers the period of operation from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004.

Radioactive gaseous releases from the plant are monitored by radiation monitors and filtering systems installed in the plant stack and vents. If liquid releases had occurred from the Facility, representative samples would have been collected and analyzed prior to discharge. There were no radiological liquid releases during 2004. These methods accurately determine the types and quantities of radioactive materials being released to the environment.

Utilizing gaseous effluent data, the maximum hypothetical dose to any individual in the vicinity of the plant -was calculated using a mathematical model, which is based on the methods defined by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. There was no dose attributable to liquid effluents because there were no liquid radioactive releases from the facility in 2004.

The maximum hypothetical doses (Table 1) are conservative overestimates of the actual off-site doses, which are likely to occur. For example, wet deposition due to precipitation events decreases the off-site dose, but this phenomenon is not incorporated into the mathematical dose model.

Radioactive airborne discharges from the facility during 2004 consisted of 152 curies of noble gases, 2.58E-2 (0.0258) curies of radioiodines, 1.24E-2 (0.0124) curies of particulate activity, and 62.7 curies of tritium.

Twenty-four (27) solid, low level radioactive waste shipments, totaling approximately 805 cubic meters, were shipped in Type A Containers and Strong Tight Packages from the Oyster Creek Generating Station during the reporting period. This material went to either a licensed burial site or to a waste processor for volume reduction. No solidification agent was used in any of the 27 shipments.

The maximum hypothetical calculated organ dose (Thyroid) from iodines and particulates to any individual due to gaseous effluents (0.0340 mRem/year) was approximately 2.27E-1 percent of the annual limit (Table 1). The maximum hypothetical calculated whole body dose to any individual due to gaseous effluents (1.98E-3 mRem/year) was 3.96E-4 percent of the annual limit.

I

The total maximum hypothetical organ dose (Thyroid) due to all radiological effluents of 3.55E-02 mRem/year received by any individual from gaseous effluents from the Oyster Creek Generating Station for the reporting period is over 8400 times lower than the dose the average individual in the Oyster Creek area received from natural background radiation, including that from radon (300 mRem) during the same time period. The natural background radiation dose averages approximately 300 mRem whole body per year in the Central New Jersey area, with contributions of approximately 100 mRem/year from natural background radiation and approximately 200 mRem/year from naturally occurring Radon gas.

Joint Frequency Tables of meteorological data, per Pasquill Category, as well as for all stability classes, are included. All data were collected from the on-site Meteorological Facility. Collection efficiencies for the 380-foot data and the 33-foot data were 90.4 percent and 84.9 percent, respectively. The UFSAR commits to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.23 for Met Tower reliability. RG 1.23 requires 90% reliability over the year. Nine (9) CAPs were submitted to address Met Tower reliability issues during 2004.

Per ODCM Section 6.2.2.4, the Station eliminated two (2) land-based REMP sampling stations that were inaccessible due to lack of an overland highway. To compensate for this, the Station added five (5) sampling stations. These additional sampling stations are listed in Table E-1 and Figures E-1 and E-2 of the revised ODCM (Rev 1) which is included as part of the submittal package.

OYSTER CREEK GENERATING STATION ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 1, 2004 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2004 YEAR 2004 EVENT REPORT LIQUID EFFLUENT RELEASES There were no liquid radioactive releases from the facility in 2004.

CHANGES TO THE OFFS1TE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL The ODCM was revised in September 2004. The changes were: elimination of reporting requirement for type of shipping container, elimination of solidification agent, adding TLD locations, adding wording that allows for a variance from hanging TLDs in inaccessible areas, and revisions to two figures showing REMP sample locations.

EFFLUENT MONITORS OUT OF SERVICE GREATER THAN 30 DAYS No effluent monitors were out of service for greater than 30 days.

CHANGES TO THE PROCESS CONTROL PLAN There were no changes to the Process Control Plan (PCP) during 2004.

RELEASES FROM THE INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE FACILITY The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility (ISFSI) is a closed system and the only exposure would be due to direct radiation. Because it is a sealed unit, no radioactive materials were released. This includes iodines, particulates and noble gases. Therefore there is no dose from effluents from the facility.

OYSTER CREEK GENERATING STATION OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL INTRODUCTION The Oyster Creek Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) is an implementing document to the Oyster Creek Technical Specifications. The previous Limiting Conditions for Operations that were contained in the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS) are now included in the ODCM as Radiological Effluent Controls (REC). The ODCM contains two parts: Part I - Radiological Effluent Controls, and Part II- Calculational Methodologies.

Part I includes the following:

Part II describes methodologies and parameters used for:

  • The calculation of radioactive liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation alarm/trip setpoints; and
  • The calculation of radioactive liquid and gaseous concentrations, dose rates, cumulative yearly doses, and projected doses.

Part II also contains a list and graphical description of the specific sample locations for the radiological environmental monitoring program (REMP), and the liquid and gaseous waste treatment systems.

PART I - RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT CONTROLS 1.0 DEFINITIONS The following terms are defined so that uniform interpretation of these CONTROLS may be achieved.

The defined terms appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout these CONTROLS.

1.1 OPERABLE - OPERABILITY A system, subsystem, train, component or device shall be OPERABLE or have OPERABILITY when it is capable of performing its specified function(s). Implicit in the definition shall be the assumption that all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal and emergency electrical power sources, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component or device to perform its function(s) are also capable of performing their related support function(s).

A verification of OPERABILITY is an administrative check, by examination of appropriate plant records (logs, surveillance test records) to determine that a system, subsystem, train, component or device is not inoperable. Such verification does not preclude the demonstration (testing) of a given system, subsystem, train, component or device to determine OPERABILITY.

_  ! ~al 1.35 MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC shall include all persons who are not occupationally associated with AmerGen Energy Company, LLC and who do not normally frequent the Oyster Creek Generating Station site. This category does not include employees of the utility, its contractors, contractor employees, vendors, or persons who enter the site to make deliveries, to service equipment, work on site or for other purposes associated with plant functions. This category does include persons who use portions of the site for recreational, occupational, or other purposes not associated with the plant. An individual is not a member of the public during any period in which the individual receives an occupational dose.

1.36 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM)

The OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) shall contain the methodology and parameters used in the calculation of offsite doses due to radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, in the calculation of gaseous and liquid effluent monitoring Alarm/Trip Setpoints, and in the conduct of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. The ODCM shall also contain (1) the Radioactive Effluent Controls and Radiological Environmental Monitoring Programs required by Technical Specification Section 6.8.4 and (2) descriptions of the information that should be included in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report AND Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report required by Technical Specification Sections 6.9.1 .d and 6.9.1 .e, respectively.

1.37 PURGE - PURGING PURGE or PURGING shall be the controlled process of discharging air or gas from a confinement and replacing it with air or gas.

1.38 SITE BOUNDARY The SITE BOUNDARY shall be the perimeter line around OCGS beyond which the land is neither owned, leased, nor otherwise subject to control by AmerGen Energy Company, LLC. The area outside the SITE BOUNDARY is termed OFFSITE or UNRESTRICTED AREA.

1.39 OFFSITE The area that is beyond the site boundary where the land is neither owned, leased nor otherwise subject to control by AmerGen Energy Company, LLC. Can be interchanged with UNRESTRICTED AREA.

1.40 UNRESTRICTED AREA An UNRESTRICTED AREA shall be any area at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY, access to which is not controlled by the licensee for purposes of protection of individuals from exposure to radiation and radioactive materials, or any area within the SITE BOUNDARY used for residential quarters or for industrial, commercial, institutional, and/or recreational purposes. Can be interchanged with OFFISTE.

1.41 DOSE EOUIVALENT 1-131 DOSE EQUIVALENT I- 13 1 shall be that concentration of I-13 1 (microcuries per gram), which alone would produce the same thyroid dose as the quantity and isotopic mixture of 1-131, 1-132, 1-133, 1-134, and I-135 actually present. The thyroid dose conversion factors used for this calculation shall be those listed in Table E-7 of Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluences for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with I OCFR Part 40 Appendix I."

1.42 DEPOSITION (D/O)

The direct removal of gaseous and particulate species on land or water surfaces. Deposition is expressed as a quantity of material per unit area (e.g. if2 ).

K:\occhem\800proc 8.0

1.43 DOSE CONVERSION FACTOR (DCF)  ;;, i:

A parameter calculated by the methods of internal dosimetry, which indicates the committed dose equivalent (to the whole body or organ) per unit activity inhaled or ingested. This parameter is specific to the isotope and the dose pathway. Dose conversion factors are commonly tabulated in units of mrem/hr per picocurie/m 3 in air or water. They can be found in Reg Guide 1.109 appendices. . -

1.44 EFFLUENT CONCENTRATION (EC)

The liquid and air concentration levels which, if inhaled or ingested continuously over the course of a year, would produce a total effective dose equivalent of 0.05 rem. LEC refers to liquid effluent concentration.

1.45 ELEVATED (STACK) RELEASE.  ;

An airborne effluent plume whose release point is higher than twice the height of the nearest adjacent solid structure and well above any building wake effects so as to be essentially unentrained.

Regulatory Guide 1.1 11 is the basis of the definition of an elevated release. Elevated releases generally will not produce any significant ground level concentrations within the first few hundred yards of the source. Elevated releases generally have less dose consequence to the public due to the greater downwind distance to the ground concentration maximum compared to ground releases. All main stack releases at the OCGS are elevated releases-.;

1.46 FINITE PLUME MODEL Atmospheric dispersion and dose assessment model which is based on the assumption that the horizontal and vertical dimensions of an effluent plume are not necessarily large compared to the distance that gamma rays can travel in air. It is more realistic than the semi-infinite plume model because it considers the finite dimensions of the plume, the radiation build-up factor, and the air attenuation of the gamma rays coming from the cloud. This model can estimate the dose to a receptor who is not submerged in the radioactive cloud. It is particularly useful in evaluating doses from an elevated plume or when the receptor is near the effluent source.

1.47 GROUND LEVEL (VENT) RELEASE An airborne effluent plume which contacts the ground essentially at the point of release either from a source actually located at ground elevation or from a source well above the ground elevation which has significant building wake effects to cause the plume to be entrained in the wake and driven to the ground elevation. Ground level releases are treated differently than elevated releases in that the X/Q calculation results in significantly higher concentrations at the ground elevation near the release point.

1.48 OCCUPATIONAL DOSE The dose received by an individual in a RESTRICTED AREA or in the course of employment in which the individual's assigned duties involve exposure to radiation and to radioactive material from licensed and unlicensed sources of radiation, whether in the possession of the licensee or other person.

Occupational dose does not include dose received from background radiation, as a patient from medical practices, from voluntary participation in medical research programs, or as a member of the general public 1.49 RAGEMS (RADIOACTIVE GAS EMISSIONS MONITORING SYSTEM)

A plant system that monitors gaseous effluent releases from monitored release points. There is a RAGEMS system for the main stack (RAGEMS I) and one for the turbine building (RAGEMS II).

They monitor particulates, iodines, and noble gases.

1.50 SEMI-INFINITE PLUME MODEL Dose assessment model which is based on the assumption that the dimensions of an effluent plume are large compared to the distance that gamma rays can travel in air. The ground is considered to be an K:\occhem\800proc i.9.0

_ it t

infinitely large flat plate and the receptor is located at the origin of a hemispherical cloud of infinite radius. The radioactive cloud is limited to the space above the ground plane. The semi-infinite plume model is limited to immersion dose calculations.

1.51 SOURCETERM The activity release rate, or concentration of an actual release or potential release. The common units for the source term are curies, curies per second, and curies per cubic centimeter, or multiples thereof (e.g., microcuries).

1.52 X/O - ("CHll over O.")

The dispersion factor of a gaseous release in the environment calculated by a point source gaussian dispersion model. Normal units of X/Q are sec/M3 . The X/Q is used to determine environmental atmospheric concentrations by multiplying the source term, represented by Q (in units of uCi/sec or Ci/sec). Thus, the plume dispersion, X/Q (seconds/cubic meter) multiplied by the source term, Q (uCi/seconds) yields an environmental concentration, X (uCi/m 3 ). XIQ is a function of many parameters including wind speed, stability class, release point height, building size, and release velocity.

1.53 SEEDS (Simplified Effluent Environmental Dosimetry System)

A routine effluent dosimetry computer program that uses Reg. Guides 1.109 and 1.1 11 methodologies.

TABLE 4.1 1.1.1. 1-1 (Continued)

TABLE NOTATION

a. The Lower Limit of Detection (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 percent probability with only 5 percent probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.

The LLD is applicable to the capability of a measurement system under typical conditions and not as a limit for the measurement of a particular sample in the radioactive liquid waste sampling and analyses program.

For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:

LLD = 4.66

  • Sb E
  • V
  • 2.22E6
  • Y
  • exp(-AAt)

Where:

LLD is the lower limit of detection as defined above (microcurie per unit mass or volume),

Sb is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),

E is the counting efficiency, V is the sample size (units of mass or volume),

2.22E+6 is the number of disintegrations per minute per microcurie, Y is the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable, X is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide, and At is the elapsed time between the end of the sample collection and the time of counting.

Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions with typical values of E, V, Y, and t for the radionuclides Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Ce-141, Cs-134, Cs-137; and an LLD of IE-5 liCi/ml should typically be achieved for Mo-99 and Ce-144.

Occasionally, background fluctuations, interfering radionuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLD's unachievable.

K:\occhem\800proc 28.0

When calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma ray spectrometry, the background may include the typical contributions of other radionuclides normally present in the sample. The background count rate of a semiconductor detector (e.g. HPGe) is determined from background counts that are determined to be within the full width of the specific energy band used for'the'quantitative analysis for the radioiiuclide.

The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification will apply are exclusively the following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59,;Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported.

Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, shall be identified and reported. The LLD for Mo-99 and Ce-144 is IE-5 jCi/ml whereas the LLD for the other gamma emitters is 1E-6 hiCi/ml. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analysis should not be reported.

b. A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. Before sampling for analysis, each batch should be thoroughly mixed.
c. In the event a gross radioactivity analysis is performed in lieu of an isotopic analysis before a batch is discharged, a sample will be analyzed for principal gamma emitters afterwards.
d. A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen which is representative of the liquids released.
e. Analysis may be performed after release.
f. In the event a grab sample contains more than l.OE-6 pjCi/ml of I-131 and principal gamma emitters or in the event the effluent radioactivity monitor indicates more than 1E-6 jiCi/ml radioactivity in the effluent, as applicable, sample Reactor Building Service Water effluent daily or sample Turbine Building Sump 1-5 each discharge until analysis confirms the activity concentration in the effluent does not exceed 1.OE-6 iCi/ml.

TABLE NOTATIONS (I) Specific parameters of distance and direction sector from the centerline of the reactor, and additional description where pertinent, are provided for each and every sample location in Table 3.12. 1-1 and Table E- 1. Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to circumstances such as hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment, and other legitimate reasons. 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 pursuant to CONTROL 6.1.2.4. 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 within 30 days in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program given in the ODCM. Pursuant to Technical specification 6.19, submit in the next Radioactive Effluent Release Report documentation for a change in the ODCM including revised figure(s) and table for the ODCM reflecting the new location(s) with supporting information identifying the cause of the unavailability of samples for the pathway and justifying the selection of the new location(s) for obtaining samples.

(2) One or more instruments, such as 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. The number of direct radiation monitoring stations has been reduced from the NUREG 1302 recommendation due to geographical limitations; e.g., some sectors are over water and some sectors cannot be reached due to lack of highway access, therefore the number of dosimeters has been reduced accordingly.

(3) 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 radon and thoron daughter decay. If gross beta activity in air particulate is greater than ten times the yearly mean of control samples, gamma isotopic analysis shall be performed on the individual samples.

(4) Gamma isotopic analysis means the identification and quantification of gamma-emitting radionuclides that may be attributable to the effluents from the facility.

(5) Groundwater 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.

(6) No milk animals have been identified within 8 km of the plant. Should the census identify milk animals, sampling would then be required at the numbers and frequencies specified.

The radioactivity monitor on the Turbine Building sump 1-5 will initiate a trip to stop the effluent discharge pump when the trip setpoint is exceeded. The reactor service water system discharge line radioactivity monitor initiates an alarm in the Control Room when the alarm setpoint is exceeded. 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 alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.

The alarm/trip setpoints for each of the noble gas monitors shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in'the ODCM. This will ensure the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The radioactive gas'monitors for the stack effluent and the Augmented Offgas Building exhaust ventilation have alarms which report in the Reactor Control Room. The OPERABILITY-and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

3/4.11 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES 3/4.11.1 LIQUID EFFLUENTS 3/4.11.1.1 CONCENTRATION This CONTROL is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be less than the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. This limitation provides'additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in UNRESTRICTED AREAS will result in exposures within (1) the Section II.A desigii'6bjectives of Appendix I,10CFR Part 50, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC and (2) the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.106(a) to the population. The concentration limit for dissolved 6r entrained noble'gases'is based upon the assumption'that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its concentration limit in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.

3/4.11.1.2 DOSE This CONTROL is provided to implement the'requirements of Sections II.A, III.A,- and IV.A of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50. The CONTROL implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the s'ame time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The dose calculation methodology anid parameters in the ODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedure's based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The K-\occhem\800proc 55.0

equations specified in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109 and Regulatory Guide 1.113.

3/4.11.1.3 LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT The OPERABILITY of the liquid radwaste treatment system ensures that this system will be available for use whenever liquid effluents require treatment prior to their release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used, when specified, provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents wvil be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". This CONTROL implements the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and the design objective given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste treatment system were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section 1I.A of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50, for liquid effluents.

3/4.11.2 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS 3/4.11.2.1 DOSE RATE This CONTROL is provided to ensure that the dose at any time at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY from gaseous effluents 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 10 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. For MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of the individual 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 mrem/year to the total body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/yr 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 mrem/year.

The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in liquid waste samples are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). Detailed discussion of the LLD, and other detection limits can be found in references 25, 26 and 27.

3/4.11.2.2 DOSE - NOBLE GASES This CONTROL is provided to implement the requirements of Section II.B, ILI.A and IV.A of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50. The CONTROL implements the guides set forth in Section II.B of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section [V.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS implement the requirements in Section IlI.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculation methodology and K:\.occhenl\800proc K:\ochc\SO~roc56.0 56.0

parameters established in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109. and Regulatory Guide 1.111. The ODCM equations provided f6r determining the air doses at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. :..

The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A -ofAppendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents to UNRERSTRICTED AREAS will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable."

The ODCM calculational methods specified in SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The ODCM calculational methodology and parameters for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, and Regulatory Guide 1.111. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate controls for iodine-131, iodine-133, tritium, and radionuclides inparticulate form with half-life greater than 8 days are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways'to'man, in the areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY.'The pathways thatwer examined'in the development offthese calculations were: 1),

individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by'man, 3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals' and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man..

3/4.11.2.4 AUGMENTED OFFGAS TREATMENT SYSTEM' The OPERABILITY of the AUGMENTED OFFGAS TREATMENT SYSTEM (AOG) ensures that the system will be 'available for use Whenever. gaseous effluents require treatment prior to release to the en'vironment.' 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 achi6vable." This CONTROL implements the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and the design objectives given in Section II.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 Section II.B and II.C of Appendix IA10 CFR-Part 6, for gaseous effluents.;

exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR Part 190 if the doses remain within twice the dose design objectives of Appendix 1,and if direct radiation doses from the unit, 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 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. 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 Part 190 and 10 CFR Part 20, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR Part 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in CONTROLS 3.1 1.1.1 and 3.11.2.1. An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation that is part of the nuclear fuel cycle.

3/4.12 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING BASES 3/4.12.1 MONITORING PROGRAM The radiological environmental monitoring program required by this CONTROL provides representative measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation 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 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 required by Table 4.12. 1-1 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

Detailed discussion of the LLD, and other detection limits can be found in references 25, 26, and 27.

Site-specific research, which included the installation of a groundwater monitoring well network, has demonstrated that the groundwater pathway is not a potential pathway to man from the OCGS. The surface water into which the OCGS discharges is a marine estuary containing saline water that is not used as drinking water or irrigation water by man.

3/4.12.2 LAND USE CENSUS This CONTROL 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 are made if required by the results of this census. The best information from the door-to-door survey, from aerial survey, from visual survey or consulting with local agricultural authorities shall be K:\occhem\800proc 58.0

used. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix Ito 10 CFR Part 50.

Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 50 m2 provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To 'determine this minimum garden 'size, the following assumptions were made: 1) 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e.,

similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) a vegetation yield of 2 kg/rn.

- -1L PART 11 - CALCULATIONAL METHODOLOGIES 1.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS 1.1 RADIATION MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLS The liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation and controls at Oyster Creek for controlling and monitoring normal radioactive material releases in accordance with the Oyster Creek Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications are summarized as follows:

(1) Alarm (and Automatic Tenmination) - Turbine Building 1-5 Sump Monitor provides the alanm and automatic tennination of liquid radioactive material releases from the 1-5 sump.

(2) Alarm (Only) - The Reactor Building Service Water Effluent Line Monitor provides an Alarm function only for releases into the environment.

Liquid radioactive waste flow diagrams are presented in Figures D-l-la and D-l-lb.

1.2 LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITOR SETPOINT DETERMINATION Per the requirements of CONTROL 3.3.3.10, alarm setpoints shall be established for the liquid monitoring instrumentation to ensure that the release concentration limits of CONTROL 3.1 1.1.1 are met (i.e., the concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS at the U.S. route 9 bridge over the discharge canal shall not exceed the concentrations specified in 10 CFR 20 Appendix B.

Table 2, Column 2, for radionuclides and 2.OE-04 jiCi/ml for dissolved or entrained noble gases).

1.2.1 LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITORS The setpoints for the liquid effluent monitors at the Oyster Creek Generating Station are detennined by the following equation:

A F2 S = g -+ BKG FLEC FI Where:

S = radiation monitor alarm setpoint (cpm)

A = activity concentration (giCi/ml) of sample in laboratory: A = 5C1 g = the primary conversion factor for the instrument - the ratio of effluent radiation monitor counting rate to laboratory activity concentration in a sample of liquid (cpm per 40Ci/mL).

Fi = flow in the batch release line (e.g. gaUrnin). Value not greater than the discharge line flow alann maximum setpoint.

K:\occhem\SOOproc 62.0

F2 = flow in the discharge canal (e.g. gal/min). Value not less than the discharge canal minimum flow.

BKG = Monitoring instrument background (cpm)

FLEC= fraction or multiple of unrestricted area LEC in aqueous effluent based on sample analysis.

FLEC is the ratio between the LECi and Ci. FLEC is unitless. For example: LEC for Co-60 is 3E-6 gCi/ml. If the concentration in a expected release is 6E-6'[jCi/ml; then FLEC is 6E-6/3E-6 = 2.

The term A represents.the 'count rate. of a solution having the same nuclide distribution as the sample and the LEC of that mixture.

Ci concentration of radionuclide i in'effluent, i.e.,' in a liquid radwaste sample tank, in reactor building service water, or iii Suinp No. 1-5 (jiCi/mL).

LECj= The unrestricted area liquid effluent concentration (LEC) of radionuclide i, i.e., 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 quantity for radionuclide i (gCi/mL).

In the event gross radioactivity analysis alone is used'to determine the radioactivity in an effluent stream or batch, FLEC is C/1E-8 (see 4.1 14-.'1.i),

Where:

C the gross radioactivity concentration in effluent (giCi/mL).

1E-8 - The unrestricted area LEC for unidentified radionuclides (jCi/mL) from 4.11.1.1.1.

If the gross activity concentration, C, is below the lower limit of detection for gross activity, the value, 1E-8 gCi/ml, or the equivalent counting rate (cpm/ml) may be substituted for the factor A

- Am FLEC A =1E-8jtCi/mlI FLEC -.

1.2.2 SAMPLE RESULT SETPOINTS Usually, when the concentration of specific radionuclides is determinable in a sample(s),

i.e., greater than the LLD, the alarm/trip setpoint of each liquid effluent radioactivity monitor is based upon the measurement of radioactive material in a batch of liquid to be released or in a continuous aqueous discharge.

1.2.3 ASSUMED DISTRIBUTION SETPOINTS Alternatively, a radionuclide distribution that represents the distribution expected to be in the effluent if the concentration were high enough to be detectable, i.e., greater than the LLD, may be assumed. The representative distribution may be based upon past measurements of the effluent stream or'upon' a computed distribution.

1.3 BATCH RELEASES A sample of each batch of liquid radwaste is analyzed for 1-131 and other principal gamma emitters or for gross beta or gross gamma activity before release. The result of the analysis is used to calculate the trip setpoint of the radioactivity monitor on the liquid radwaste effluent line to apply to release of the batch.

1.4 CONTINUOUS RELEASES The Reactor Building Service Water Effluent and the Turbine Building 1-5 Sump are each sampled and analyzed weekly for 1-131 and other principal gamma emitters. Results of analyses for the preceding week or for a period as long as the preceding 3 months are used to calculate the alarm/trip setpoint of the corresponding effluent radioactivity monitor in order to detennine a representative value. In each case, whether batch or continuous, the monitor alarn/trip setpoint may be set at lower activity concentration than the calculated setpoint.

1.5 LIQUID EFFLUENT DOSE CALCULATION - 10 CFR 50 Doses resulting from the release of radioiodines and particulates must be calculated to show compliance with Appendix I of 10CFR50. Calculations will be perfonned at least monthly for all liquid effluents as stated in SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT4.11.1.2 and SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 4.11.1.3.1 to verify that the dose to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC is maintained below the limits specified in CONTROL 3.11.1.2 The maximum dose to an individual from radioiodines, tritium, and radioactive particulates with half-lives of greater than eight days in liquid effluents released to unrestricted areas is determined as described in Reg. Guide 1.109. Environmental pathways that radioiodine, tritium, and particulates in liquid effluent follow to the maximally exposed MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC are assumed to be: exposure to shoreline deposits, ingestion of fish, and ingestion of shellfish. To assess compliance with CONTROL 3.11.1.2, the dose due to radioactive iodine, tritium, and particulates in liquid effluent is calculated to a person at the Route 9 bridge who consumes fish and shellfish harvested at that location.

1.5.1 MEMBER OF THIE PUBLIC DOSE - LIQUID EFFLUENTS CONTROL 3.11.1.2 limits the dose or dose commitment to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents from Oyster Creek Generating Station to those listed in Table 1.5.1-1.

Applicable liquid pathways to man for Oyster Creek include shoreline exposure, and ingestion of saltwater fish and shellfish. The receptor location is provided in Table A-4.

Usage factors for shoreline exposure are residence time on the shoreline (hours). Usage factors are provided in Reg. Guide 1.109 Table E- 5. Usage factors specifically selected for Oyster Creek are presented in Table B-i.

M = the recirculation factor. The recirculation factor is a multiplier of 3.76 to account for recirculation of discharge water back into the intake. Although this occurs infrequently, it is assumed to occur for each liquid release.

A sample should be representative of the bulk stream or volume of effluent from which it is taken. Prior to sampling, large volumes of liquid waste should be mixed in as short a time interval as practicable to assure that any sediments or particulate solids are distributed uniformly in the waste mixture. Recirculation pumps for liquid waste tanks (collection or sample test tanks) should be capable of recirculating at a rate of not less than two tank volumes in eight hours. Minimum recirculation times and methods of recirculation are controlled by specific plant procedures.::-

2.0 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS 2.1 RADIATION MONITORING INSTRUMENTATON AND CON'TROLS The gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation and controls at Oyster Creek for controlling and monitorinig noirmal ifadiioactive' iaterial releases in accordance with the Radiological Effluent CONTROLS are summarized as follows:

(I) Main Stack K:\occhem\800proc  ;. 67.0

The main stack receives nornal ventilation flow from the reactor building, new radwaste, old radwaste, process discharge flow from the augmented offgas system (AOG), condenser offgas flow if AOG is not in service, and normal ventilation flow from portions of the turbine building, predominantly the condenser bay area. Reactor building and turbine building flow is not normally processed or filtered. Reactor Building flow may be manually or automatically directed through the Standby Gas Treatment System (SBGTS) which has particulate and charcoal filtration. Offgas flow is processed through AOG or through a 30 minute delay pipe prior to release. Flow from the 'new' and 'old' radwaste buildings is IIEPA filtered. Releases through the main stack are monitored for noble gases using the RAGEMS [ system and sampled for iodine, particulates and tritium. The plant stack is considered to be a true elevated release point.

(2) Turbine Building Vent The Turbine building vent is monitored for noble gases by the RAGEMS II system and sampled for iodine, particulates and tritium. It discharges on the west side of the turbine building approximately at roof height and is considered to be a ground level release. It ventilates the turbine floor and other areas of the turbine building. Flow through this release point is not filtered.

(3) Feed Pump Room Vent The feed pump room vent is monitored by RAGEMS 11. It discharges on the east side of the turbine building below roof height and is considered to be a ground level release. It ventilates the reactor feed pump room. Flow through this release point is not filtered.

(4) Augmented Off'as Building Vent Offgas Building HIVAC is released through a ground level release from the building. Offgas process flow is not released through the building ventilation, but is routed to the plant stack. A ventilation monitoring system monitors for noble gas and samples for particulate and iodine.

(5) Isolation Condensers The isolation condensers are a ground level release. The predominant isotope through this potential release point is tritium as a consequence of the forced evaporation of'condensate transfer water when the isolation condensers are initiated. Releases are neither monitored nor is the release process flow sampled.

Releases of tritium are evaluated based on liquid samples of the input and the volume used.

Gaseous radioactive waste flow diagrams with the applicable, associated radiation monitoring instrumentation controls are presented in Figures D-2-1 and D-2-2.

2.2 GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITOR SETPOINT DETERMINATION 2.2.1 PLANT VENT K:\occhcm\800proc 68.0

Per the requirements of CONTROL 3.3.3.11, alarm setpoints shall be established for the gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation to ensure that the release rate of noble gases does not exceed the limits of CONTROL 3.11.2.1, which corresponds to a dose rate at the SITE BOUNDARY of 500 mrem/year to the total body or 3000 mrem/year to the skin.

Based on a grab sample analysis of the applicable release (i.e., of the Stack, Offgas:

process flow, etc.), the radiation monitoring alarm setpoints may be established by the following calculation methods. A setpoint of a monitor of an elevated release, e.g., from the stack, may be calculated using the equation:

-S- = 106 h EC + Bkg

- (CiDFSi) where:

S = the alarm setpoint (cpm) h = primary conversion factor of the instrument - monitor response to activity concentration of effluent being'nionitored, cpn/(p.Ci/cm2 ). Each monitoring channel has a unique response, h, which is determined by the instrument calibration.

Ci = relative concentration of noble gas radionuclide i in effluent at the'point of monitoring (jiCi/cm3 )

1.06 = 500 mrem/year /472 (conversion of cfm to cc/sec)

DFSi = factor converting elevated release rate of ra'dionuclide i to total body dose equivalent rate at the location of potential exposure. Units are: mrem/(yr(iCi/sec)); From Table A-l. ' -;

f = flow of gaseous effluent stream being monitored, i.e., stack flow, vent flow, etc. '(ft3/min)

BKG = Monitoring instrument background (cpm or mR/hr)

- A'-t . - .- ..

2.2.2 OTHER RELEASE POINTS The setpoint of a monitorr of a-grouind-level or split-wake release,' e.g., from the turbine'e building vent or the'AOG building, may be calculated with the equation:

S.= 1.06 + Bkg

.E(CiPDFVi)

K:\occhem\800proc i,., 69.0

- IL Where:

DFVi = factor converting ground-level or splitwake release of radionuclide i to the total body dose equivalent rate at the location of potential exposure. Units are: mrem/(yr(gCi/m 3 )). From Table A-I.

X/Q = atmospheric dispersion from point of ground-level or split-wake release to the location of potential exposure (sec/mn3 ) from Table 2.2.2-1.

The atmospheric dispersion, X/Q, and the dose conversion factor, DFSi, depend upon local conditions. For the purpose of calculating radioactive noble gas effluent monitor alarm setpoints appropriate for the OCGS, the locations of maximum potential offsite exposure and the reference atmospheric dispersion factors applicable to the derivation of setpoints are given in Table 2.2.2-1.

TABLE 2.2.2-1 RECEPTOR LOCATIONS AND DISPERSION FOR GASEOUS MONITOR SETPOINTS Discharge Point Receptor Location Atm. Dispersion Sector Distance(m) (sec/mr3 )

Ground-level or vent SE 522 2.15 E-5 Stack SE 522 N/A 2.2.3 RADIONUCLIDE MIX FOR SETPOINTS For the purpose of deriving a setpoint, the distribution of radioactive noble gases in an effluent stream may be determined in one of the following ways:

2.2.3.1.1 Preferably, the radionuclide distribution is obtained by gamma isotopic analysis of identifiable noble gases in effluent gas samples. Results of the analyses of one or more samples may be averaged to obtain a representative spectrum.

2.2.3.2 In the event a representative distribution is unobtainable from recent measurements by the radioactive gaseous waste sampling and analysis program, it may be based upon past measurements.

2.2.3.3 Alternatively, the total activity concentration of radioactive noble gases may be assumed to be Xenon-133 as found in Reg Guide 1.97.

2.3 GASEOUS EFFLUENT INSTANTANEOUS DOSE RATE CALCULATIONS - 10 CFR 20 2.3.1 SITE BOUNDARY DOSE RATE - NOBLE GASES CONTROL 3.1 1.2.1a limits the dose rate at the SITE BOUNDARY due to noble gas releases to < 500 mrem/yr, total body and < 3000 mrem/yr, skin. Radiation monitor alarm setpoints are established to ensure that these release limits are not exceeded. In the event any gaseous releases from the station results in an alarm setpoint (as determined in Section 2.2) being exceeded, an evaluation of the SITE BOUNDARY dose rate resulting from the release shall be performed.

II-2.5 RADIOIODINE, PARTICULATE AND OTHER RADIONUCLIDES DOSE CALCULATIONS

- 10 CFR 50 Doses resulting from the release of radioiodines and particulates must be calculated to show compliance with Appendix I of 10CFR50. Calculations will be performed at least monthly for all gaseous effluents as stated in SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 4.11.2.2 and SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 4.11.2.3 to verify that the dose to air is kept below the limits specified in CONTROL 3.11.2.2 and the dose to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC is maintained below the limits specified in CONTROL 3.11.2.3.

The maximum dose to an individual from radioiodines, tritium, and radioactive particulates with half-lives of greater than eight days in gaseous effluents released to unrestricted areas is determined as described in Reg. Guide 1.109. Environmental pathways that radioiodine, tritium, and particulates in airborne effluent follow to the maximally exposed MEMBER OF TIHE PUBLIC as determined by the annual land use survey and reference meteorology will be evaluated. The seasonality of exposure pathways may be considered. For instance, if the most exposed receptor has a garden, fresh and stored vegetables are assumed to be harvested and eaten during April through October. Fresh vegetables need not be considered as an exposure pathway during November through March. To assess compliance with CONTROL 3.11.2.3, the dose due to radioactive iodine, tritium, and particulates in airborne effluent is calculated to a person residing 966 meters SE of the OCGS. Reference atmospheric dispersion and deposition factors are given in Table 2.5-1.

Ground Level or Vent 1.53E-5 1.70E-8 Stack 3.42E-8 2.40E-9 The environmental pathways of exposure to be evaluated are: inhalation, irradiation from ground deposition, and ingestion of milk (cow and goat are treated separately), meat, and vegetables. Eight organs are considered: Bone, Liver, Total Body, Thyroid, Kidney, Lung, GI-LLI (Gastro-Intestinal tract / Lower Large Intestine), and Skin. Four different age groups are considered: Infants, Children, Teens, and Adults. Doses are calculated to a 'receptor' - a person who inhales the airborne activity and resides in a location with ground deposition, and eats and drinks the foodstuffs produced. The maximally exposed individual is conservatively assumed to reside at the location of the highest sum of the inhalation and ground plane doses, while eating and drinking foodstuffs transported from the locations that are highest for those pathways. Receptor locations are provided in Table A-4.

Alternatively, an approved computer code (e.g., "SEEDS") that implements the requirements of Reg Guide 1.109 may be used.

During a fraction of the year, they may be assumed to be exclusively on stored feed, outside of the growing season. If using annual average release, the fraction of stored and fresh feed must be accounted for with fractions, otherwise (as in this ODCM), the fresh pasture pathway is turned on or off depending

'on the growing season.

For the likely most exposed MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC in the vicinity of Oyster Creek, the sources of exposure need only consider the Oyster Creek Generating Station. No other fuel cycle facilities would contribute significantly to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC dose for the Oyster Creek vicinity, however, both plant operation and ISFSI sources must be included in the dose assessment.

To assess compliance with CONTROL 3.11.4, calculated organ and total body doses from effluents from liquid pathways and atmospheric releases as well as any dose from direct radiation will be summed.

K:\occhcm\800proc 88.0

As appropriate for demonstraiting/evaluating compliance with'the limits of CONTROL 3.11.4 (40 CFR 190), the results of the environmental monitoring program may be used for providing data on actual measured levels of radiation and / or radioactive material and resultant dose to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC in the actual pathways of exposure.

3.1 EFFLUENT DOSE CALCULATIONS For purposes of implementing the surveillance requirements of CONTROL 3/4.11.4 and the reporting requirements of Technical Specification 6.9.1 .d (RERR), dose calculations for the Oyster Creek Generating Station may be performed using the calculation methods contained within the ODCM; the conservative controlling pathways and locations from the ODCM or the actual pathways and locations as identified by the land use census (CONTROL 3/4.12.1) maybe used. -Average annual meteorological dispersion parameters provided herein or meteorological conditions concurrent with the release period under evaluation may be used.

3.2 DIRECT EXPOSURE DOSE DETERMINATION Any potentially significant direct exposure contribution to off-site individual doses may be evaluated based on the results of environmental measurements (e.g., TLD) and/or by the use of radiation transport and shielding calculation methodologies.

4.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM The operational phase of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) is conducted in accordance with the requirements of CONTROL 3.12.1. The objectives of the program are:

- To determine whether any significant increases occur in the concentration of radionuclides in the critical pathways of exposure in the vicinity of Oyster Creek

- To determine if the operation of the Oyster Creek Generating Station has resulted in any increase in the inventory of long lived radionuclides in the environment;

- To detect any changes in the ambient gamma radiation levels; and

- To verify that OCGS operations have no detrimental effects on the health and safety of the public or on the environment.

The REMP sample locations are presented in Appendix E.

NOTE: No public drinking water samples or irrigation water samples are taken as these pathways are not directly affected by liquid effluents discharged from Oyster Creek Generating Station.

R. Milos (PORC Coordinator)

Meeting 04-37 of the Oyster Creek Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) was convened at 2:00 PM on Thursday, September 30,2004. The Chairman verified that a quorum was present The PORO members reviewing item 4 were qualified to review 10CFR50.59 Evaluations. Four items were on the agenda for PORC meeting 04-37:

(1) LER 2004-004 Operation In Excess of Thermal Power Urmit LER 2004-004-00 addressed exceeding the licensed maximum thermal power limit due to plant computer isolator power supply degradation affecting input values to the heat balance calculation. The Issue Summary and Safety Significance are described in the attached copy of LER 2004-004-00. Most questions were adequately answered during the meeting; however, several PORC comments/recommendations (see Attachment A) required follow-up.

The Chairman polled the voting members. All voting members agreed that thre were no technical or safety concerns preventing approval of the LER, provided PORC comments were adequately addressed. The PORC disposition is: Approval Recommended with Conditions.

Following the PORC meeting, the Chairman determined that the PORC comments were adequately addressed. No open items remain.

(2) Prompt Investigation Report - Heat Balance Inaccuracies - 08/29/04 PORO reviewed the Prompt Investigation Report"Heat Balance Inaccuracies -08/29/04."

This report investigated the same event covered by LER 2004-004-00, which is discussed above as Item 1. PORC was not asked to recommend approval of the supplied documentation.

Instead, PORC was asked to perform an Independent review of the Prompt Investigation Report and provide comments to the Originator. The primary focus of PORFCs review is to assure that no unrecognized safety issues exist and that there is consistency between the Prompt Investigation Report and LER-2004-004-00. All PORC questions were adequately answered at the meeting and there are no open issues. The PORC disposition is Review Only.

(3) CY-OC-170-301, Oyster Creek Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, Rev. 1 PORC reviewed Revision 1 to CY-OC-170-301, Oyster Creek Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

The revision deleted the requirements for reporting both the type of shipping container as well as the identification of solidifying agent in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. The ODCM revision also included some TLD relocations. This revision to the ODOM was originally presented to PORC on 09/23/04 (PORC Meeting 04-36), but was remanded because the ODCM revisions were not processed in accordance with the ODCM change procedure, CY-AA-170-

PORC Meeting 04-37 Page 2 of 16 3100. The issue Summary, Safety Significance, and Significant PORC Questions I Comments from today's meeting are provided in Attachment B to this report. Most PORC questions /

comments were addressed at the meeting, however, several PORC comments required follow-up (see attached Meeting Notes). The Chairman polled the voting members. All voting merrbers-agreed that'there were no technical or safety concerns preventing approval of Revision

  • -1to-CY't70:30t; provided PORC comments were adequatey-ddressed.-The PORC disposition is: Approval Recommended with Conditions.

Subsequent to the meeting, the Chairman determined that the responses to PORC's comments were adequate. There are no open issues.

(4) 50.59 Eval OC-2004-E-O006. Rev. 0- UFSAR Revision re Aux Flash Tank Drain Pump This 10CFR50.59 Evaluation applies to the disabling of the auto-start function of the Aux Flash Tank Large Drain Pump to allow manual control of pump operation. This action will reduce/eliminate wear/damage to the drain pump and system components due to cycling that occurs when the Aux Flash Tank experiences high level transients. A copy of the 50.59 Evaluation, OC-2004-E-0006. Rev. 0, Is attached to this report. Revision 0 to OC-2004-E-0006 was originally presented to PORC on 07/15/04 (PORC Meeting 04-26) as Revision 1to O0 2004-E-0005, but was remanded for several reasons delineated in that PORC Report. The Issue Summary, Safety Significance. and Significant PORC Questions / Comments from today's meeting are provided in Attachment C to this report Most PORC questions / comments were addressed at the meeting, however, several PORC comments required follow-up (see attached Meeting Notes). The Chairman polled the voting members. All voting members agreed that there were no technical or safety concerns preventing approval of Revision 0 to OC-2004-E-0006, provided PORC comments were adequately addressed. The PORC disposition is:

Approval Recommended with Conditions.

Subsequent to the meeting, the Chairman determined that the responses to PORC's comments were adequate. There are no open issues.
