1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) implements the program elements which are required by the Administrative Controls section of the Technical Specifications. The ODCM contains the operational requirements, the surveillance requirements, and actions required if the operational requirements are not met for the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program and the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program to assure compliance with 10 CFR 20.1302, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CFR 50.36a, and Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The Technical Specifications, Section 3.0, also apply to the ODCM. Substitute the word "Requirements" for "Limiting Condition for Operation." It should be noted that the hot and cold shutdown and operability requirements in Technical Specification 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 do not apply to any of the requirements contained in this ODCM. The ODCM also contains descriptions of the information that should be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report and the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report required by the Technical Specifications.

The ODCM provides the parameters and methodology to be used in calculating offsite doses resulting from radioactive effluents, in the calculation of gaseous effluent monitor Alarm/Trip Setpoints, and in the conduct of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. Included are methods for determining air, whole body, and organ dose at the controlling location due to plant effluents to assure compliance with the regulatory requirements detailed in the ODCM. Methods are included for performing dose projections to assure compliance with the gaseous treatment system operability sections of the ODCM. The ODCM utilizes information from NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," October 1977, and NRC NUREG 0133, "Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants,"

October 1978. NUREG 0133 utilizes some of the key information in Regulatory Guide 1.109 to provide methods which were used in the preparation of the radiological effluent Technical Specifications and which have now been transferred to the ODCM in accordance with NRC Generic Letter 89-01, "Implementation of Programmatic Controls for Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications in the Administrative Controls Section of the Technical Specifications and the Relocation of Procedural Details of RETS to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual or to the Process Control Program," January 31, 1989, and NUREG 1301, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Guidance:

Standard Radiological Effluent Controls for Pressurized Water Reactors," Generic Letter 89-01, Supplement No. 1, April 1991. Further guidance for the implementation of the new 10 CFR Part 20, effective January 1, 1994, was obtained from the Federal Register, Vol. 58, December 23, 1993. It is recognized that this is only draft guidance, however, it is the only guidance for referencing the new 10 CFR 20 in the ODCM.

1.1 Liquid Effluent Pathways Dose calculation methodology for radioactive liquid effluents is not included in this manual due to the desert location of the plant, the hydrology of the area, and the fact that there are no liquid releases to areas at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY during normal operation. All liquid discharges to the onsite evaporation ponds are controlled by Section 3.2. The impact of postulated accidental seepages on the groundwater system, and in particular on the existing wells located in the 5-mile zone around the site area has been calculated and analyzed in Section 2.4.13.3 of the PVNGS FSAR.

If plant operating conditions become such that the likelihood of a liquid effluent pathway is created, then dose calculation methodology for this pathway will be added to this manual.

I ODCM Rev. 18

1.2 Gaseous Effluent Pathways All gaseous effluents are treated as ground level releases and are considered to be "long-term" as discussed in NUREG-0133, "Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants." This includes the containment purge and Waste Gas Decay Tank releases as well as the normal ventilation system and condenser vacuum exhaust releases. All releases are either greater than 500 hours0.00579 days 0.139 hours 8.267196e-4 weeks 1.9025e-4 months in duration or are made at random, not depending upon atmospheric conditions or time of day. The releases are lumped together and calculated as an entity. Historical annual average X/Q values are used throughout this manual for all gaseous effluent setpoint and dose calculations. Airborne releases are further subdivided into two subclasses:

1.2.1 Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium and Radionuclides in Particulate Form with Half-lives Greater than Eight Days In this model, a controlling location is identified for assessing the maximum exposure to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC for the various pathways and to critical organs. Infant exposure occurs through inhalation and any actual milk pathway. Child, teenager and adult exposure derives from inhalation, consumed vegetation pathways, and any actual milk and meat pathways. Dose to each of the seven organs listed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (bone, liver, total body, thyroid, kidney, lung and GI-LLI) are computed from individual nuclide contributions in each sector. The largest of the organ doses in any sector is compared to 10 CFR 50, Appendix I design objectives. The release rates of these nuclides will be converted to instantaneous dose rates for comparison to the limits of 10 CFR 20.

1.2.2 Noble Gases The air dose from both the beta and gamma radiation component of the noble gases will be assessed and compared to the 10 CFR 50, Appendix I design objectives. The noble gas release rate will be converted to instantaneous dose rates for comparison to the limits of 10 CFR 20.

Section 2.0 of this manual discusses the methodology to be used in determining effluent monitor alarm/trip setpoints to assure compliance with the 10 CFR Part 20 limits as implemented in Section 3.0. Section 4.0 discusses the methods to assure releases are As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) in accordance with Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.

Methods are described in Section 5.0 for determining the annual cumulative dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from gaseous effluents and direct radiation to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 190.

The requirements for the Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report and the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, including the Annual Land Use Census and the Interlaboratory Comparison Program, and the Annual Environmental Report are described in Sections 6.0 and 7.0 of this manual.

1.3 Nuisance Pathways This section addresses the potential release pathways which should not contribute more than 10% of the doses evaluated in this manual. Table 1-1 lists examples of potential release pathways. The ODCM methodology for calculation of doses will be applied to an applicable release pathway if a likely potential arises for contributing more than 10% of the doses evaluated in this manual.

1.4 Meteorology Historical annual average atmospheric dispersion (X/Q) and deposition (D/Q) data, based on nine years of meteorological data, and given in Table 3-2 for each of the three nuclear generating units are used to demonstrate compliance with the ODCM Requirements. These Requirements include:

Section 2.0 Gaseous Effluent Monitor Setpoints; Section 3.0 Gaseous and Liquid Effluent - Dose Rate Section 4.0 Gaseous and Liquid Effluent - Dose Section 5.0 Total Dose and Dose to Public Onsite Sections 2.0 and 3.0 specify utilizing the highest X/Q or D/Q meteorological dispersion parameter at the Site Boundary for any of the three units as applicable. Using the highest dispersion parameter for any of the units provides a conservative assumption to assure compliance with the higher 10 CFR Part 20 limits.

Section 4.0 specifies utilizing the highest X/Q at the Site Boundary for the particular unit, from Table 3-2 for noble gases. The highest X/Q and D/Q are utilized for the particular unit's releases as applicable for gases other than noble gases (iodines, particulates, and tritium) for the controlling pathway's location (site boundary using Table 3-2 or other controlling locations using Table 4-16, 4-17, or 4-18).

Section 5.0 specifies utilizing the highest X/Q for the particular unit's releases at the controlling location from Table 4-16, 4-17, or 4-18, for noble gases. The highest X/Q and D/Q are utilized for the particular unit's releases as applicable for gases other than noble gases at the controlling pathway's location using Table 4-16, 4-17, or 4-18.

Section 7.0 requires that the meteorological conditions concurrent with the time of release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents, as determined by sampling frequency and measurement, shall be used for determining the gaseous pathway doses.

2.1.2 Implementation of the Requirements The general methodology for establishing low range gaseous effluent monitor setpoints is based upon a site release rate limit in WtCifsec derived from site specific meteorological dispersion conditions, radioisotopic distribution, and whole body and skin dose factors. The high alarm of the low range monitors will alarm/trip when the release rate from an individual vent will result in exceeding the limits in Section 3.1. 80% of Section 3.1 limits is considered to be the site release rate limit. The site release rate limit will be allocated among the licensed units' release points. The unit release rate limit will then be utilized for the determination of gaseous effluent monitor setpoints. A fraction of the unit release rate limit is then allotted to each release point and its monitor alert setpoint ([tCi/cc) is derived using actual or fan design flow rates.

Administrative values are used to reduce each setpoint to account for the potential activity in other releases. These administrative values shall be reviewed based on actual release data.

For the purpose of implementation of Section 2.1, the alarm setpoint levels for low range effluent noble gas monitors are established to ensure that personnel are alerted when the noble gas releases are at a rate such that if the releases would continue for the year they would approach the total body dose rate of 500 mrem/yr and 3000 mrem/yr skin dose in Section 3.1.

The equations in Section 3.1 of this manual provide the methodology for calculating the gaseous effluent dose rate.

The evaluation of doses due to releases of radioactive material can be simplified by the use of equivalent dose factors as defined in Section 2.1.2. 1.

The equivalent dose factors will be evaluated periodically to assure that the best information on isotopic distribution is being used for the dose equivalent value.

12 ODCM Rev. 18

2.1.2.1 Equivalent Dose Factor Determination The equivalent whole body dose factor is calculated as follows:

Keq = I i[(Ki)(fi)] (2-1)

Where:

Keq = the equivalent whole body dose factor weighted by historical radionuclide distribution in releases in mrem/yr per ztCifm3 .

Ki = the whole body dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide i, in mremlyr per ltCi/m3 from Table 3-3.

fi = the fraction of noble gas radionuclide i in the total noble gas radionuclide mix.

The equivalent skin dose factor is calculated as follows:

(L + l.IM)eq = 1i[(Li + 1.1 Mi)(f 1 )I (2-2)

Where:

(L+ I . I M),q = the equivalent skin dose factor due to beta and gamma emissions from all noble gases released, weighted by the historical radionuclide distribution in releases in mremlyr per ptCi/m 3 .

= the skin dose factor due to the beta emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide i, in mrem/yr per pCi/m3 from Table 3-3.

Mf = the air dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide i, in mrad/yr per pCi/m3 from Table 3-3.

= the fraction of noble gas radionuclide i in the total noble gas radionuclide mix.

1.1 = unit conversion constant of 1.1 mremlmrad converts air dose to skin dose.

13 ODCM Rev. 18

2.1.2.2 Site Release Rate Limit (QSITE)

The release rates corresponding to 80% of the whole body (QW'B) and skin (QSK) dose rate limits are calculated using the equivalent dose factors defined in Section 2.1.2.1.

The site release rate limit (QSITE) is the lower of QWB or QSK' thus assuring that the more restrictive dose rate limit will not be exceeded.

The QSITE is established as follows:

QSITE,WB = (DAVB(0.-8) (2-3)

(Keq)(X/Q)SITE Where:

QSITEWB = the site release rate, in pCi/sec, that would deliver a dose rate 80% of the whole body dose rate limit, DWB.

DWB = whole body dose rate limit of 500 mrem/yr.

Keq = equivalent whole body dose factor, in mrem/yr per ptCi/m 3 weighted by the historical radionuclide distribution.

(XIQ)SITE = 8.911E-06, the highest calculated annual average dispersion parameter, in sec/m3 , at the Site Boundary for any of the 3 units, from Table 3-2.

0.8 = administrative factor to compensate for any unexpected variability in the radionuclide mix and to ensure that Site Boundary dose rate limits will not be exceeded.

QSITESK (DS(L+ -8)(2-4)

(L+ I IM)eq(X/Q)SITE(24 Where:

QSITESK = the site release rate limit, in ltCi/sec, that would deliver a dose rate 80% of the skin dose rate limit, DSK.

DSK = skin dose rate limit of 3000 mrem/yr.

(L+l.IM)eq = equivalent skin dose factor, in mrem/yr per ltCi/m3 , weighted by the radionuclide distribution.

(X/Q)SITE = 8.91E-06, the highest calculated annual average dispersion parameter, in sec/m 3 , at the Site Boundary for any of the three units, from Table 3-2.

0.8 = administrative factor to compensate for any unexpected variability in the radionuclide mix and to ensure that Site Boundary dose rate limits will not be exceeded.

After determination of the QSITE whole body and skin dose rates (equations 2-3 and 2-4, respectively), the most conservative result will be used as QSITE, the site release rate limit.

14 ODCM Rev. 18

2.1.2.3 Unit Release Rate Limits (QUNIT)

Typically QSITE will be divided equally among operating units. If operational history dictates a larger fraction of the QSITE be assigned to a specific unit then a weighted average of each unit's contribution to the QSITE will be utilized to determine the QUNIT.

QUNIT = (fuNIT) (QSITE) (2-5)

Where:

QUNIT = unit release rate limit, in [LCi/sec.

fUNIT = the fraction (< I) of noble gas historically released from a specific operating unit to the total of all noble gas released from the site.

QSITE = the site release rate limit, in ,uCi/sec determined in Section 2.1.2.2.

2.1.2.4 Setpoint Determination To comply with the requirements in Section 2.1, the alarm/trip setpoints can now be established using the unit release rate limit (QUNIT) to ensure that the noble gas releases do not exceed the dose rate limits.

To allow for multiple sources of releases from different or common release points, the effluent monitor setpoint includes an administrative factor which allocates a percentage of the unit release rate limit to each of the release sources. Monitor setpoints will also be adjusted in accordance with Nuclear Administrative and Technical Manual procedures to account for monitor-specific characteristics.

Monitors RU-143 and RU-145 The alarm/trip setpoint for Monitors RU-143 and RU-145 is calculated as follows:

Monitor (QUNIT)(a)

Setpoint (472)(Flow Rate)

Where:

Monitor Setpoint = the setpoint for the effluent monitor, in piCi/cc, which provides a safe margin of assurance that the allowable dose rate limits will not be exceeded.

QUNIT = unit release rate limit, in pCi/sec, as determined in Section 2.1.2.3.

Flow Rate = the flow rate, in cfm, from flow rate monitors or the fan design flow rate for the release source under consideration.

472 = conversion factor, cubic centimeter/second per cubic feet/minute.

a = fraction Of QUNIT allocated for a specific release point. The sum of these administrative values shall be less than or equal to one.

15 ODCM Rev. 18

Monitor RU-12 The alarm/trip setpoint for Monitor RU-12, the Waste Gas Decay Tank Monitor, is calculated as follows:

Monitor [(QUNIT)(a)(0. 9 ) - (H)(PF)(472)] (2-7) setpoint (Flow Rate)(472)

Where:

Monitor Setpoint = the setpoint for the monitor, in ptCi/cc at STP, which provides a safe margin of assurance that the allowable dose rate limits will not be exceeded.

QUNIT = unit release rate limit, in pICi/sec, as determined in Section 2.1.2.3.

Flow Rate = flow rate, in cfm at STP at which the tank will be released.

PF = the current process flow of the plant vent in CFM.

H = the current plant vent monitor concentration in ltCi/cc.

a = fraction of QUNIT allocated for a specific release point. This administrative value should be equal to or less than the administrative value used for the Plant Vent.

0.9 = an administrative value to account for potential increases in activity from other contributors to the same release point.

472 = conversion factor, cubic centimeter/second per cubic feet/minute.

If there is no release associated with this monitor, the monitor setpoint should be established as close as practical to background to prevent spurious alarms, and yet assure an alarm should an inadvertent release occur.

2.1.2.5 Monitor Calibration The Radiation Level Conversion Factor (RLF) for each monitor is entered into the Radiation Monitoring System Database and may change whenever the monitor is calibrated. Calibration is performed in accordance with Nuclear Administrative and Technical Manual procedures.

3.0 GASEOUS AND LIQUID EFFLUENT DOSE RATES

3.1 Requirements

Gaseous Effluents The dose rate due to radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents from the site (see Figure 6-4 and Figure 6-5) shall be limited to the following:

a. For noble gases: Less than or equal to 500 mrems/yr to the total body and less than or equal to 3000 mrems/yr to the skin, and

b. For I-131 and I-133, for tritium, and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days: Less than or equal to 1500 mrems/yr to any organ.

Applicability: At all times.

Action:

With the dose rate(s) exceeding the above limits, immediately decrease the release rate to within the above limits(s).

3.1.1 Surveillance Requirements

a. The dose rate due to noble gases in gaseous effluents shall be determined to be within the above limits in accordance with the methods contained in Section 3.1.2.

b. The dose rate due to 1-131, I-133, tritium and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days in gaseous effluents shall be determined to be within the above limits in accordance with the methods contained in Section 3.1.2 by obtaining representative samples and performing analyses in accordance with the sampling and analysis program specified in Table 3-1.

17 ODCM Rev. 18

3.1.2 Implementation of the Requirements Noble Gases Noble gas activity monitor setpoints are established at release rates which permit corrective action to be taken before exceeding the 10 CFR 20 annual dose limits as described in Section 2.0. The requirements for sampling and analysis of continuous and batch effluent releases are given in Table 3-1. The methods for sampling and analysis of continuous and batch effluent releases are given in the Nuclear Administrative and Technical Manual procedures. The dose rate in unrestricted areas shall be determined using the following equations.

For whole body dose rate:

DVB= fi[(Ki)(X/Q)SITE(Qi)] (3-1)

For skin dose rate:

DSK = ZJ(Li + 1.1 Mi)(X/Q)SITE(Qi)] (3-2)

Where:

Ki = the whole body dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide i, in mrem/yr per .tCi/m3 from Table 3-3.

Q = the release rate of radionuclide i, in gtCi/sec.

(X/Q)SITE = 8.91E-06, the highest calculated annual average dispersion parameter, in sec/m 3 , for any of the three units, from Table 3-2.

DWB = the annual whole body dose rate (mrem/yr.).

Li = the skin dose factor due to the beta emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide i, in mrem/yr per 1tCi/m 3 from Table 3-3.

Mi = the air dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide i, in mrad/yr per plCi/m 3 from Table 3-3.

DSK = the annual skin dose rate (mrem/yr).

1.1 = unit conversion constant of 1.1 mrem/mrad converts air dose to skin dose.

18 ODCM Rev. 18

1-131. 1-133. tritium and radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days The methods for sampling and analysis of continuous and batch releases for I-131, I-133, tritium and radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days, are given in the applicable Nuclear Administrative and Technical Manual procedures. Additional monthly and quarterly analyses shall be performed in accordance with Table 3-1. The total organ dose rate in unrestricted areas shall be determined by the following equation:

Do = Z.[(Pi)(X/Q)SITE(Qi)] (3-3)

Where:

Pi = the dose factor, in mrem/yr per [.CiJm3, for radionuclide i, for the inhalation pathway, from Table 3-4.

(X/Q)SITE = 8.91E-06, the highest calculated annual average dispersion parameter, in sec/m 3, at the Site Boundary, for any of the three units, Qi = the release rate of radionuclide i, in pCi/sec Do = the total organ dose rate (mrem/yr).

Table 3-1 (Continued)

TABLE NOTATION a The LLD is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count (above system background) that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a real signal.

For a particular measurement system (which may include radiochemical separation):

LLD = 4.66 sb E

V

2.22E6

Y

exp(-XAt)

Where:

LLD is the a priori lower limit of detection as defined above (as ptCi per unit mass or volume). Current literature defines the LLD as the detection capability for the instrumentation only and the MDC minimum detectable concentration, as the detection capability for a given instrument, procedure and type of sample.

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 transformation),

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

2.22E6 is the number of transformations 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 midpoint of sample collection and time of counting (for plant effluents, not environmental samples).

The value of sb used in the calculation of the LLD for a detection system shall be based on the actual observed variance of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of the blank samples (as appropriate) rather than on an unverified theoretically predicted variance. In calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma-ray spectrometry the background should include the typical contributions of other radionuclides normally present in the samples. Typical values of E, V, Y, and At should be used in the calculation.

It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

The VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM shall be used to reduce radioactive materials in gaseous waste prior to their discharge when the projected doses due to gaseous effluent releases, from each reactor unit, to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY (see Figure 6-4 and Figure 6-5) when averaged over 31 days would exceed 0.3 mrem to any organ of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC.

Applicability: At all times:

Action:

With radioactive gaseous waste being discharged without treatment and in excess of the above limits, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days, a Special Report which includes the following information:

a. Identification of the inoperable equipment or subsystems and the reason for inoperability,

b. Action(s) taken to restore the inoperable equipment to OPERABLE status, and

c. Summary description of action(s) taken to prevent a recurrence.

4.3.1 Surveillance Requirements

a. Doses due to gaseous releases from the site shall be projected at least once per 31 days, in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section 4.3.2.

36 ODCM Rev. 18

4.3.2 Implementation of the Requirement Where possible, consideration for expected operational evolutions (i.e., outages, etc.) should be taken in the dose projections.

Dose Projection - Noble Gases The air dose, in mrads is determined using the methodology described in Section 4.1.2 of this manual. This information is used to determine an air dose projection for the next 31 days using the following equations:

For gamma radiation:

31 dayy = Dy+/- CDy (4-4)

For beta radiation:

31 day = D13 +/-CDP3 (4-5)

Where:

Dy = the total gamma air dose in mrads at the site boundary due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents for the previous 31 days.

DP3 = the total beta air dose in mrads at the site boundary due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents for the previous 31 days.

CDy = any current or projected change in gamma air dose, in mrads, due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents, which could have a significant impact on 31 dayy.

CDP = any current or projected change in beta air dose, in mrads, due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents, which could have a significant impact on 31 day P3.

When performing the 31 day dose projection using the Gaseous Radioactive Effluent Tracking System (GRETS), Dy and DP3 will include the dose from any release permits that fall within the selected 31 day time period. As a result, the actual dose projection will often be based on the accumulated dose for a time period greater than 31 days.

37 ODCM Rev. 18

Dose Projection - I-131. 1-133. tritium. and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days The organ dose, in mrem, is determined using the methodology described in Section 4.2.2 of this manual. This information is used to determine an organ dose projection for the next 31 days using the following equation:

3 day, = Do + CDO (4-6)

Where:

Do= the total organ dose due to I-131, 1-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days in mrem, released in gaseous effluents for the previous 31 days.

CDO = any current or projected change in organ dose, in mrem, which could have a significant impact on 31 day,.

When performing the 31 day dose projection using the Gaseous Radioactive Effluent Tracking System (GRETS), Do will include the dose from any release permits that fall within the selected 31 day time period. As a result, the actual dose projection will often be based on the accumulated dose for a time period greater than 31 days.

4.4 Requirements

Liquid Effluents The dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released, from each reactor unit, to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY (See Figure 6-4 and Figure 6-5) shall be limited:

a. During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrems to the total body and to less than or equal to 5 mrems to any organ, and

b. During any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mrems to the total body and to less than or equal to 10 mrems to any organ.

Applicability: At all times.

Action:

With the calculated dose from the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents exceeding any of the above limits, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days, a Special Report that identifies the cause(s) for exceeding the limit(s) and defines the corrective actions that have been taken to reduce the releases and the proposed corrective actions to be taken to assure that subsequent releases will be in compliance with the above limits.

4.4.1 Surveillance Requirements Cumulative dose contributions from liquid effluents for the current calendar quarter and the current calendar year shall be determined in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM at least once per 31 days.

4.4.2 Implementation of the Requirements This Requirement does not require implementation guidance. There are no offsite liquid effluent releases.

57 ODCM Rev. 18

5.0 TOTAL DOSE AND DOSE TO PUBLIC ONSITE

5.1 Requirement

Total Dose The annual (calendar year) dose or dose commitment to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to releases of radioactivity and to direct radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources shall be limited to less than or equal to 25 mrems to the total 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 and gaseous effluents exceeding twice the limits of Section 4.4a, 4.4b, 4.1a, 4.1b, 4.2a or 4.2b calculations shall be made including direct radiation contributions from the reactor units (including outside storage tanks, etc.) to determine whether the above limits of Section 5.1 have been exceeded. If such is the case, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days, 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 20.2203(a)(4), 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 within 30 days is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete.

5.1.1 Surveillance Requirements

a. Cumulative dose contributions from the gaseous effluents shall be determined in accordance with the surveillance requirements of Section 4.4.1, 4.1.1 and 4.2.1 and in accordance with the methodology and parameters contained in Section 5.1.2.

b. Cumulative dose contributions from direct radiation from the reactor units and from radwaste storage tanks shall be determined in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section 5.1.2. This requirement is applicable only under conditions set forth in Section 5.1, Action.

5.1.2 Implementation of the Requirement Since all other uranium fuel cycle sources are greater than 20 miles away, only the PVNGS site need be considered.

The total dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will be determined based on a sum of the doses from all three units' releases and doses from direct radiation from PVNGS.

58 ODCM Rev. 18

This dose evaluation is performed annually and submitted with the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 190, Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Operation. NUREG-0543, Methods for Demonstrating LWR Compliance With the EPA Uranium Fuel Cycle Standard (40 CFR Part 190), February 1980, provides a discussion on compliance with 40 CFR Part 190 in relation to the Radiological Environmental Technical Specifications for sites of up to four nuclear power reactors. The NUREG concludes that as long as a nuclear plant site operates at a level below the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I reporting requirements, and there is no significant source of direct radiation from the site, no extra analysis is required to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR Part 190. As a result, this dose evaluation will also be performed whenever calculated doses associated with effluent releases exceed twice the limits of Section 4.4a, 4.4b, 4.1a, 4.1b, 4.2a or 4.2b.

Dose Contribution from Liquid and Gaseous Effluents The annual whole body dose accumulated by a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC for the noble gases released in gaseous effluents is determined by using the following equation:

DWB = (3.17E-08) Es [(K) (XIQ)UNIT (Qi)] (5-1)

Where:

Ki = the whole body dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide i, in mrem/yr per gCi/m3 from Table 3-3.

Q = the integrated release of radionuclide i, in gCi for the previous calendar year.

(X/Q)UNIT = the highest calculated annual average dispersion parameter, in sec/m3 , for a particular unit, at the controlling location, from Table 4-16, 4-17, or 4-18, or concurrent meteorological data if available.

=2.92E-06 from Unit 1

=2.19E-06 from Unit 2

=2.31E-06 from Unit 3 DWB = the annual whole body dose in mrem to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at the controlling location due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents.

3.17E-08 = the inverse of seconds in a year (yr/sec).

59 ODCM Rev. 18

The annual dose to any organ accumulated by a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC for iodine-131, iodine-133, tritium and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days released in gaseous effluents is determined by using the following equation:

Do = (3.17E-08) 1i [Ek(RikWk) (Qi)] (5-2)

Where:

Do = the total annual organ dose from gaseous effluents to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, in mrem, at the controlling location.

Qi = the integrated release of radionuclide i, in gtCi, for the previous calendar year.

Rik = the dose factor for each identified radionuclide i, for pathway k (for the inhalation pathway in mrem/yr per [tCi/m3 and for the food and ground plane pathways in m2 -mrem/yr per ptCi/sec) at the controlling location. The Rik's for each age group are given in Tables 4-1 through 4-15.

WK = the highest annual average dispersion or deposition parameter for the particular unit, used for estimating the total annual organ dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at the controlling location for the particular unit.

= (X/Q)UNIT, in sec/m 3 for the inhalation pathway and for all tritium calculations, for organ dose at the controlling location, from Table 4-16, 4-17, or 4-18, or concurrent meteorological data if available.

=2.92E-06 from Unit 1

=2.19E-06 from Unit 2

=2.31E-06 from Unit 3

= (D/Q)UNIT, in m-2, for the food and ground plane pathways, for organ dose at the controlling location, from Table 4-16, 4-17, or 4-18, or concurrent meteorological data if available.

=3.25E-09 from Unit 1

=3.88E-10 from Unit 2

=4.21E-10 from Unit 3 3.17E-08 = the inverse of seconds in a year (yr/sec).

60 ODCM Rev. 18

Dose Due to Direct Radiation The component of dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to direct radiation will be evaluated by first determining the direct radiation dose at the site boundary in each sector, and then extrapolating the site boundary dose to the controlling location by the inverse square law of distance.

Dose from Radioactive Liquid and Gaseous Effluents to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC due to their activities within the SITE BOUNDARY.

These activities have been determined to be limited to the vicinity of the Energy Information Center (EIC) located inside the SITE BOUNDARY. An assumption was made that no MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC would spend more than eight hours per year at this location.

However this calculation has been historically performed assuming an occupancy factor of one (implying continuous occupancy over the entire year).

A X/Q, determined for the Energy Information Center, will be used for this assessment.

Equations 5-1 and 5-2 in Section 5.1.2 should be used for this assessment.

61 ODCM Rev. 18

6.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (REMP)

6.1 Requirement

REMP The radiological environmental monitoring program shall be conducted as specified in Table 6-1, based on locations determined using data from the pre-operational monitoring period; and/or the operational monitoring period indicating a need to make changes in the program.

Applicability: At all times.

Action:

a. With the radiological environmental monitoring program not being conducted as specified in Table 6-1, prepare and submit to the Commission, in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report, as required by Section 7.2, a description of the reasons for not conducting the program as required and the plans for preventing a recurrence.

b. With the level of radioactivity as the result of plant effluents in an environmental sampling medium at a specified location exceeding the reporting levels of Table 6-2 when averaged over any calendar quarter, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days, a Special Report that identifies the cause(s) for exceeding the limit(s) and defines 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 Section 4.4, 4.1 and 4.2. When more than one of the radionuclides in Table 6-2 are detected in the sampling medium, this report shall be submitted if:

concentration (I) + concentration (2) + > 1.0 reporting level (1) reporting level (2)

When radionuclides other than those in Table 6-2 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 is equal to or greater than the calendar year limits of Section 4.4, 4.1 and 4.2. This report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity was not the result of plant effluents; however, in such an event, the condition shall be reported and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

c. With milk or fresh leafy vegetable samples unavailable from one or more of the sample locations required by Table 6-1, identify locations for obtaining replacement samples and add them to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program within 30 days. The specific locations from which samples were unavailable may then be deleted from the monitoring program.

The methodology and parameters used to estimate the potential annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC shall be indicated in this report.

62 ODCM Rev. 18

6.1.1 Surveillance Requirements

a. The radiological environmental monitoring samples shall be collected pursuant to Table 6-1 from the specific locations given in Table 6-4 and Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2 and shall be analyzed pursuant to the requirements of Table 6-1, and the detection capabilities required by Table 6-3.

6.1.2 Implementation of the Requirements The results of the radiological environmental monitoring program are intended to supplement the results of the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected based on the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.

Thus the specified environmental monitoring program provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures to individuals resulting from station operation.

This requirement is implemented by Nuclear Administrative and Technical Manual procedures.

TABLE 6-1 (Continued)

TABLE NOTATION a The number, media, frequency, and location of sampling may vary from site to site. It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practical 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. Actual locations (distance and direction) from the site shall be provided in Table 6-4 and Figure 6-1 or Figure 6-2 in the ODCM. Refer to Regulatory Guide 4.1, "Programs for Monitoring Radioactivity in the Environs of Nuclear Power Plants."

b Regulatory Guide 4.13 provides guidance for thermoluminescence dosimetry (TLD) systems used for environmental monitoring. 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 may be considered to be one phosphor, and two or more phosphors in a packet may be considered as two or more dosimeters. Film badges should not be used for measuring direct radiation.

Table 6-3 (Continued)

TABLE NOTATION a Guidance for detection capabilities for thermoluminescent dosimeters used for environmental measurements is given in Regulatory Guide 4.13.

b Table 6-3 indicates acceptable detection capabilities for radioactive materials in environmental samples.

These detection capabilities are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLD is defined, for purposes of this guide, 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 4.66Sb E

V*2.22

Y

exp(-XAt)

Where:

LLD is the a priori lower limit of detection as defined above (as pCi 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 (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, and At for environmental samples is the elapsed time between sample collection (or end of the sample collection period) and time of counting.

In calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma-ray spectrometry the background should include the typical contributions of other radionuclides normally present in the samples (e.g.,

potassium-40 in milk samples). Typical values of E, V, Y, and At should be used in the calculation.

It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an 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.

70 ODCM Rev. 18

6.2 Requirement

Land Use Census A land use census shall be conducted and shall identify within a distance of 8 km (5 miles) the location in each of the 16 meteorological sectors of the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence and the nearest garden* of greater than 50 m2 (500 ft2 ) producing broad leaf vegetation.

Applicability: 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 Section 4.2.1, identify the new location(s) in the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, pursuant to Section 7.1.

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 Section 6.1, add the new location(s) to the radiological environmental monitoring program within 30 days. The sampling location(s), excluding the control station location, having the lowest calculated dose or dose commitment(s), via the same exposure pathway, may then be deleted from the monitoring program.

6.2.1 Surveillance Requirements

a. The land use census shall be conducted during the growing season annually using that information that will provide the best results, such as by a door-to-door survey, aerial survey, or by consulting local agriculture authorities. The results of the land use census shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Section 7.2.

6.2.2 Implementation of the Requirements The above Requirement is implemented by Nuclear Administrative and Technical Manual procedures.

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 D/Qs in lieu of the garden census. Specifications for broad leaf vegetation sampling in Table 6-1 shall be followed, including analysis of control samples.

71 ODCM Rev. 18

6.3 Requirement

Interlaboratory Comparison Program Analyses shall be performed on radioactive materials supplied as part of an Interlaboratory Comparison Program that correspond to samples required by Table 6-1, as applicable.

Applicability: At all times.

Action:

a. With analyses not being performed as required above, report the corrective actions taken to prevent a recurrence to the Commission in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Section 7.2.

6.3.1 Surveillance Requirements

a. A summary of the results obtained as part of the above required Interlaboratory Comparison Program and in accordance with the methodology and parameters in this manual shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Section 7.2.

6.3.2 Implementation of the Requirements PVNGS laboratories or contract laboratories which perform analyses for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) participate in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program. The participation includes all of the determinations (sample medium-radionuclide combinations) that are included in the monitoring program.

If deviation from specified limits is identified an investigation is made to determine the reason for the deviation and corrective actions are taken as necessary. The results of all analyses made under this program are included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

85 ODCM Rev. 18

APPENDIX A DETERMINATION OF CONTROLLING LOCATION The controlling location is the location of the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC who receives the highest doses.

The determination of a controlling location for implementation of IOCFR50 for radioiodines and particulates is known to be a function of:

(1) Isotopic release rates (2) Meteorology (3) Exposure pathway (4) Receptor's age The incorporation of these parameters into Equation 5-2 results in the respective equations at the controlling location. The isotopic release rates are based upon the source terms calculated using the PVNGS Environmental Report, Operating License Stage, Table 3.5-12, without carbon.

All of the locations and exposure pathways, identified in the 1984 Land Use Census, have been evaluated. These include cow milk ingestion, goat milk ingestion, vegetable ingestion, inhalation, and ground plane exposure. An infant is assumed to be present at all milk pathway locations. A child is assumed to be present at all vegetable garden locations. The ground plane exposure pathway is only considered to be present where an infant is not present. Naturally, inhalation is present everywhere an individual is present.

For the determination of the controlling locations, the highest X/Q and DIQ values, based on the 9 year meteorological data base, for the vegetable garden, cow milk, and goat milk pathways, are selected for each unit. The receptor organ doses have been calculated at each of these locations. Based upon these calculations, it is determined that the controlling receptor pathway is a function of unit location. For Unit 1, the controlling receptor is a garden-child pathway; for releases from Unit 2 and Unit 3 the controlling receptor is a cow milk-infant pathway. These determinations are based upon Table 4-16, 4-17, or 4-18, which, in turn, is based upon the 1984 Land Use Census. Locations of the nearest residences, gardens and milk animals, as determined in the 1984 Land Use Census, are given in Table 4-16, 4-17, and 4-18.

86 ODCM Rev. 18

APPENDIX B BASES FOR REQUIREMENTS B-2.1 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases of gaseous effluents. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in 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 OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR PART 50.

There are two separate radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring systems: the low range effluent monitors for normal plant radioactive gaseous effluents and the high range effluent monitors for post-accident plant radioactive gaseous effluents. The low range monitors operate at all times until the concentration of radioactivity in the effluent becomes too high during post-accident conditions. The high range monitors only operate when the concentration of radioactivity in the effluent is above the setpoint in the low range monitors.

B-3.1 GASEOUS EFFLUENT - DOSE RATE This requirement provides 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 at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY, in excess of the design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR part 50. This requirement is provided to ensure that gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be appropriately controlled. It provides operational flexibility for releasing gaseous effluents to satisfy the Section II.A and II.C design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR part 50. For MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of that 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 total 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. This requirement does not affect the requirement to comply with the annual limitations of 10 CFR 20.1301(a).

This requirement applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from all reactor units at the site.

The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in gaseous waste samples are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLD). Detailed discussion of the LLD and other detection limits can be found in Currie, L. A., "Lower Limit of Detection: Definition and Elaboration of a Proposed Position for Radiological Effluent and Environmental Measurements," NUREG/CR-4007 (September 1984), and in the HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revised annually).

87 ODCM Rev. 18

B-3.2 SECONDARY SYSTEM LIQUID WASTE DISCHARGE TO ONSITE EVAPORATION PONDS - CONCENTRATION This requirement is provided to ensure that the annual total effective dose equivalent to individual members of the public from the licensed operation does not exceed the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, due to the accumulated activity in the evaporation ponds from the secondary system discharges.

Restricting the concentrations of the secondary liquid wastes discharged to the onsite evaporation ponds will restrict the quantity of radioactive material that can accumulate in the ponds. This, in turn, provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the pond's contents to an UNRESTRICTED AREA, the resulting total effective dose equivalent to individual members of the public at the nearest exclusion area boundary will not exceed the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20.

This requirement applies to the secondary system liquid waste discharges of radioactive materials from all reactor units to the onsite evaporation ponds.

The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in gaseous waste samples are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLD). Detailed discussion of the LLD and other detection limits can be found in Currie, L. A., "Lower Limit of Detection: Definition and Elaboration of a Proposed Position for Radiological Effluent and Environmental Measurements," NUREG/CR-4007 (September 1984), and in the HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revised annually).

B-4.1 GASEOUS EFFLUENT - DOSE, Noble Gases This requirement is provided to implement Sections I.B, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. This requirement 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 IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The 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 dose calculation methodology and 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, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977. The ODCM equations provided for determining the air doses at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions.

This requirement applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from each reactor unit at the site.

88 ODCM Rev. 18

B-4.2 GASEOUS EFFLUENT - DOSE - Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium, and All Radionuclides in Particulate Form With Half-Lives Greater Than 8 Days This requirement is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A, IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. This requirement is the guide set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The ODCM calculational methods specified in the 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, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1. 111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases for Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate specifications for iodine-131, iodine-133, tritium, and radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days are dependent upon the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. The pathways that were examined in the development of these 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.

This requirement applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from each reactor unit at the site.

B-4.3 GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT The OPERABILITY of the GASEOUS RADWASTE SYSTEM and the VENTILATION 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 reasonably achievable." This requirement 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 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 Sections II.B and II.C of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, for gaseous effluents.

This requirement applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from each reactor unit at the site.

The minimum analysis frequency of 4/M (i.e., at least 4 times per month at intervals no greater than 9 days and a minimum of 48 times a year) is used for certain radioactive gaseous waste sampling in Table 3-1. This will eliminate taking double samples when quarterly and weekly samples are required at the same time.

89 ODCM Rev. 18

B-4.4 SECONDARY SYSTEM LIQUID WASTE DISCHARGE TO ONSITE EVAPORATION PONDS - DOSE This requirement is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. This requirement implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." Also, for fresh water sites with drinking water supplies that can be potentially affected by plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radionuclide concentrations in the finished drinking water that are in excess of the requirements of 40 CFR Part 141. The dose calculation methodology and 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 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 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, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.113, "Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidental and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purpose of Implementing Appendix I," April 1977.

This requirement applies to the release of liquid effluents from each reactor at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the liquid effluents from the shared system are proportioned among the units sharing that system.

B-5.1 TOTAL DOSE AND DOSE TO PUBLIC ONSITE This requirement is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190 that have been incorporated into 10 CFR 20.1301(d). The requirement specifies 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. Even if a site was to contain up to four reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR Part 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose design objectives of Appendix I, and if direct radiation doses from the reactor 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 or within a radius of 8 km must be considered. If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, submittal of the Special Report within 30 days 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 190.11 and 10 CFR Part 20.2203(a)(4), 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 other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Section 3.2 and 3.1 of the ODCM. An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation that is part of the nuclear fuel cycle. Demonstration of compliance with the limits of 40 CFR Part 190 or with the design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 will be considered to demonstrate compliance with the 0.1 rem limit of 10 CFR 20.1301.

ODCM Rev. 18 90

B-6.1 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (REMP)

The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program required by this requirement 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. The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first 3 years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.

The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLD). The LLDs required by Table 6-3 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

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

B-6.2 LAND USE CENSUS This requirement 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 or from consulting with local agricultural authorities shall be used. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 50 m2 provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were made: (1) 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage), and (2) a vegetation yield of 2 kg/m2 .

B-6.3 INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM The requirement for participation in an 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.

APPENDIX C DEFINITIONS (Continued)

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), and when all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, electrical power, 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).

MODE See the Technical Specification definition.

PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM The PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM shall contain the current formulas, sampling, analyses, test, and determinations to be made to ensure that processing and packaging of solid radioactive wastes based on demonstrated processing of actual or simulated wet solid wastes will be accomplished in such a way as to assure compliance with 10 CFR Parts 20, 61, and 71, State regulations, burial ground requirements, and other requirements governing the disposal of solid radioactive waste.

PURGE-PURGING PURGE or PURGING shall be the controlled process of discharging air or gas from a confinement to maintain temperature, pressure, humidity, concentration, or other operating condition, in such a manner that replacement air or gas is required to purify the confinement.

RATED THERMAL POWER See the Technical Specification definition.

SITE BOUNDARY The SITE BOUNDARY shall be that line beyond which the land is neither owned, nor leased, nor otherwise controlled by the licensee.

SOLIDIFICATION SOLIDIFICATION shall be the conversion of radioactive wastes from liquid systems to a homogeneous (uniformly distributed), monolithic, immobilized solid with definite volume and shape, bounded by a stable surface of distinct outline on all sides (free-standing).

SOURCE CHECK A SOURCE CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel sensor is exposed to a source of increased radioactivity.

THERMAL POWER THERMAL POWER shall be the total reactor core heat transfer rate to the reactor coolant.

93 ODCM Rev. 18

APPENDIX C DEFINITIONS (Continued)

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 the 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.

VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM A VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM shall be any system designed and installed to reduce gaseous radioiodine or radioactive material in particulate form in effluents by passing ventilation or vent exhaust gases through charcoal adsorbers and/or HEPA filters for the purpose of removing iodines or particulates from the gaseous exhaust stream prior to the release to the environment. Such a system is not considered to have any effect on noble gas effluents. Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) atmospheric cleanup systems are not considered to be VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM components.

VENTING VENTING shall be the controlled process of discharging air or gas from a confinement to maintain temperature, pressure, humidity, concentration, or other operating condition, in such a manner that replacement air or gas is not provided or required during VENTING. Vent, used in system names, does not imply a VENTING process.
