1.0 Off-Site Doses This report provides a summary of the 2007 off-site radiation doses from releases of radioactive materials in airborne and liquid effluents from Millstone Units 1, 2, and 3.' This includes the annual maximum dose (mrem) to any real member of the public as well the maximum gamma and beta air doses.
To provide perspective, these doses are compared to the regulatory limits and to the annual average dose that a member of the public could receive from natural background and other sources.
1.1 Dose Calculations The off-site dose to humans from radioactive airborne and liquid effluents have been calculated using measured radioactive effluent data, measured meteorological data, and the dose computer models DOSAIR and DOSLIQ, which were developed by Millstone. The methodology and input parameters for DOSAIR are those used in GASPAR II (Reference 12) and NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 3). The methodology and input parameters for DOSLIQ are those used in LADTAP II (Reference 6) and NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 3). The calculated doses generally tend to be conservative due to the conservative model assumptions. More realistic estimates of the off-site dose can be obtained by analysis of environmental monitoring data. A comparison of doses estimated by each of the above methods is presented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
Doses are based upon exposure to the airborne and liquid effluents over a one-year period and an associated dose commitment over a 50-year period from initial exposure. The portion of the doses due to inhalation and ingestion take into account radioactive decay and biological elimination of the radioactive materials.
Maximum individual dose is defined as the dose to the individual who would receive the maximum dose from releases of airborne and liquid effluents. Although the location of the maximum individual may vary each quarterly period, the annual dose is the sum of these quarterly doses. This conservatively assumes that the individual is at the location of maximum dose each quarter.
The dose calculations are based upon three types of input: radioactive source term, site-specific data, and generic factors. The radioactive source terms (Curies) are characterized in Section 2, Effluent Radioactivity, of this report. The site-specific data includes: meteorological data (e.g. wind speed, wind "direction, atmospheric stability, etc.) to calculate the transport and dispersion of airborne effluents, and dilution factors for liquid effluents. The generic factors include the average annual consumption rates (for inhalation of air and ingestion of fruits, vegetables, leafy vegetables, grains, milk, poultry, meat, fish, and shellfish) and occupancy factors (for air submersion and ground irradiation, shoreline activity, swimming, boating, etc.). All these inputs are used in the appropriate dose models to calculate the maximum individual dose from radioactive airborne and liquid effluents.
1.1.1 Airborne Effluents Maximum individual doses due to the release of noble gases, radioiodines, and particulates were calculated using the computer code DOSAIR (Reference 11). This is equivalent to the NRC code, GASPAR II, which uses a semi-infinite cloud model to implement the NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 3) dose models.
The values of average relative effluent concentration (X/Q) and average relative deposition (D/Q) used in the DOSAIR code were generated using EDAN4, a meteorological computer code which implements the assumptions cited in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Reference 5), Section C. The 5
annual summary of hourly meteorological data (in 15-minute increments), which includes wind speed, direction, atmospheric stability, and joint frequency distribution, is not provided in the report but can be retrieved from computer storage.
Millstone Stack (375 ft) releases are normally considered elevated with Pasquill stability classes determined based upon the temperature gradient between the 33 ft and 374 ft meteorological tower levels. The doses were conservatively calculated using mixed mode 142 ft meteorology since DOSAIR may underestimate the plume exposure (prior to plume touchdown) for elevated releases from the Millstone Stack. All three units previously had the ability to discharge effluents to the Millstone Stack. However, in March 2001, Unit 1 was separated from releasing to the stack and modifications were made to add two new release points, the Spent Fuel Pool Island Vent (SFPI) and the Balance of Plant Vent (BOP).
Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pool Island Vent (73 ft) and the Balance of Plant Vent (80 ft) releases are considered ground level, therefore these doses were calculated using the 33 ft meteorology.
Continuous ventilation of the spent fuel pool island and evaporation from the spent fuel pool water (H-
- 3) release to the Spent Fuel Pool Island Vent. Continuous ventilation from other Unit 1 buildings and airborne releases from the reactor building evaporator are discharged to the BOP Vent. Doses from these release points were summed to determine the total Unit 1 airborne effluent dose.
Unit 2 Auxiliary Building Ventilation, Steam Generator Blowdown Tank Vent, and Containment Purge (through the Unit 2 Vent)(159 ft) releases are considered mixed mode (partially elevated and partially ground) releases. The first two of these are continuous releases while the Containment Purge is typically a batch release. Some Containment Purges are released via the Millstone Stack. Because doses for releases from the Unit 2 Vent and from the Millstone Stack are calculated using the same meteorology, the Containment Purge releases are not divided between Unit 2 Vent and Millstone Stack. Batch releases from the Waste Gas Decay Tanks and Containment Vents are typically discharged via the Millstone Stack. The doses for these elevated releases were conservatively calculated using mixed mode 142 ft meteorology for which the Pasquill stability classes are determined based upon the temperature gradient between the 33 ft and 142 ft meteorological tower levels. The Containment Equipment Hatch and the RWST Tank Vent releases are considered ground level where the 33 ft meteorology was used for the dose calculations. Each of the doses for the various release points were summed to determine the total Unit 2 airborne effluent dose.
The Unit 3 Vent (142.5 ft) is considered a mixed mode (partially elevated and partially ground) release point. The Pasquill stability classes are determined based upon the temperature gradient between the 33 ft and 142 ft meteorological tower levels. Auxiliary Building Ventilation is a mixed mode continuous release while Containment Purge and "initial" Containment Drawdown (through the roof of the Auxiliary Building) are considered mixed mode batch releases. Gaseous waste and operational containment drawdowns (also called containment vents) are released through the Unit 3 Supplementary Leak Collection and Recovery System (SLCRS) system to the Millstone Stack (375 ft). The doses for these elevated releases were conservatively calculated using mixed mode 142 ft meteorology. The Engineered Safety Features Building (ESF) Ventilation, the Containment Equipment Hatch, and RWST Vent releases are considered ground level where the doses were calculated using 33 ft meteorology. Similar to Unit 2, each of the doses for the various release points were summed to determine the total Unit 3 airborne effluent dose.
1.1.2 Liquid Effluents Maximum individual doses from the release of radioactive liquid effluents were calculated using the DOSLIQ program (Reference 10). This program uses the dose models and parameters cited in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 with site-specific inputs to produce results similar to the LADTAP II code, (Reference 6).

1.2 Dose Results The calculated maximum off-site doses are presented in Table 1-1 for airborne effluents and Table 1-2 for liquid effluents.
1.2.1 Airborne Effluents For the dose to the maximum individual, DOSAIR calculates the dose to the whole body, GI-tract, bone, liver, kidney, thyroid, lung, and skin from each of the following pathways: direct exposure from noble gases in the plume and from ground deposition, inhalation, and ingestion of vegetation, cow or goat milk, and meat. The values presented are a total from all pathways. However, only the whole body, skin, thyroid and maximum organ (other than thyroid) doses are presented.
For the plume and inhalation pathways, the maximum individual dose is calculated at the off-site location of the highest decayed x/Q where a potential for dose exists.
For ground deposition, the maximum individual dose is calculated at both the off-site maximum land location of the highest xIQ and highest D/Q where a potential for dose exists.
For the vegetation pathway, the maximum individual dose is calculated at the vegetable garden of the highest D/Q (or highest yIQ when only tritium is released). For the vegetation pathway, the calculated dose is included in the maximum individual's dose only at locations and times where these pathways actually exist. Similarly, for meat, cow's milk, and goat's milk pathways, the calculated dose is included in the maximum individual's dose only at locations and times where these pathways actually exist.
To determine compliance with 10CFR50, Appendix I (Reference 7), the maximum individual whole body and organ doses include all applicable external pathways (i.e. plume and ground exposure) as well as the internal pathways (inhalation and ingestion).
1.2.2 Liquid Effluents The DOSLIQ code performs calculations for the following pathways: fish, shellfish, shoreline activity, swimming, and boating. Doses are calculated for the whole body, skin, thyroid, and maximum organ (GI-LLI, bone, liver, kidney, and lung).
1.2.3 Analysis of Results Table 1-3 provides a quantitative dose comparison with the limits specified in the REMODCM. The data indicates that the total whole body and organ doses to the maximum offsite individual from Millstone Station including all sources of the fuel cycle are well within the limits of 40CFR190 (Reference 8). On-site radioactive waste storage during this year was within storage criteria and the maximum dose to a member of the public was approximately 0.18 mrem/yr. The doses from airborne and liquid effluents were added to the estimated dose from on-site radioactive waste storage to show compliance compared to 40CFR190.
The Offsite Dose Comparison, Table 1-4, provides a perspective on the maximum offsite individual dose received from Millstone Station with the natural background radiation dose received by the average Connecticut resident. The total dose to the maximum individual received from Millstone Station is small (< 0.1%) in comparison to the dose received from natural background radiation.

2.0 Effluent Radioactivity 2.1 Airborne Effluents 2.1.1 Measurement of Airborne Radioactivity 2.1.1.1 Continuous Releases The following pathways have continuous radiation monitors that include particulate filters and, except for Unit 1, charcoal cartridges for monitoring the activity being released:
Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pool (SFPI) Island (no charcoal cartridge)
Unit 1 Balance of Plant (BOP) Vent (no charcoal cartridge)
Unit 2 Ventilation Vent Unit 2 Wide Range Gas Monitor (WRGM) to Site Stack Unit 3 Ventilation Vent Unit 3 Supplementary Leak Collection and Recovery System (SLCRS) to Site Stack Unit 3 Emergency Safeguards Facility (ESF) Building Vent Charcoal cartridges and particulate filters are used to collect iodines and particulates, respectively.
These filters are periodically replaced (typically weekly, except every two weeks for Unit 1) and then analyzed for isotopic content using a gamma spectrometer. Particulate filters are also analyzed for Sr-89 (for all but Unit 1), Sr-90 and gross alpha. At least monthly, gaseous grab samples are taken and analyzed for noble gasses and tritium. The gas washing bottle (bubbler) method is utilized for tritium collection. This sample is counted on a liquid scintillation detector. Isotopic concentrations at the release point are multiplied by the total flow to obtain the total activity released for each isotope.
Since a major source of tritium is evaporation of water from the spent fuel pools, tritium releases were also estimated based upon amount of water lost and measured concentrations of the pool water. Grab samples from the Unit 1 SFPI Vent and the Unit 2 and 3 Vents are compared to the measured evaporation technique and the higher amount from either the vent or the measured evaporation technique is used to determine the amount of tritium released.
Another continuous airborne pathway is the Unit 2 Steam Generator Blowdown Tank Vent. A decontamination factor (DF) across the SGBD Tank vent was determined for iodines by comparing the results of gamma spectrometry, HPGe, analysis of the Steam Generator Blowdown water and grab samples of the condensed steam exiting the vent. This DF was applied to the total iodine releases via the Steam Generator Blowdown water to calculate the iodine release out the vent. An additional factor of 0.33 was utilized to account for the fraction of blowdown water actually flashing to steam in the Steam Generator Blowdown Tank.
12
2.1.1.2 Batch Releases The following pathways periodically have releases that are considered batches:
Unit 1 Reactor Building Evaporator (via BOP Vent)
Unit 2 Waste Gas Decay Tanks (via Unit 2 WRGM to Millstone Stack)
Unit 2 and 3 Containment Purges (via Unit Ventilation Vents, except for Unit 2 if using Enclosure Building Filtration System (EBFS) via WRGM to Millstone Stack)
Unit 2 and 3 Containment Vents (via EBFS to Millstone Stack for Unit 2 and via SLCRS to Millstone Stack for Unit 3)
Unit 2 and 3 Containment Equipment Hatch Openings Unit 2 and 3 Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) Vents Unit 3 Containment Drawdown Prior to processing each batch from the Reactor Building Evaporator a sample is collected and counted on a liquid scintillation detector. Concentration is multiplied by volume to determine the total activity released.
Waste Gases from the Unit 2 Gaseous Waste Processing System are held for decay in waste gas decay tanks (6) prior to discharge through the Millstone Site Stack. Each gas decay tank is analyzed prior to discharge for noble gas and tritium. Calculated volume discharged is multiplied by the isotopic concentrations (noble gas and tritium) from the analysis of grab samples to determine the total activity released.
Containment air is sampled periodically for gamma and tritium to determine the activity released from containment venting. The measured concentrations are multiplied by the containment vent volume to obtain the total activity released. Unit 2 typically performs this process of discharging air from containment to maintain pressure approximately once per week while at Unit 3 it is more often (typically at least daily).
Containment air is sampled prior to each purge for gamma and tritium to determine the activity released from containment purging. Similar to containment venting, the measured concentrations are multiplied by the containment vent volume to obtain the total activity released.
Samples of air near the Containment Equipment Hatch openings are analyzed for particulates and iodines, during refueling outages for the period that the equipment hatch is open. An estimated flow out of the hatch and sample results are used to determine the radioactivity released.
When water is transferred to Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) there is a potential for a release of radioactivity through the tank vent. A decontamination factor (DF) was applied to the total iodine contained in the water transferred to the RWST to estimate the iodine released. All noble gases are assumed to be released through the tank vent.
Unit 3 containment is initially drawn down prior to startup. This is accomplished by using the containment vacuum steam jet ejector which releases through an unmonitored vent on the roof of the Auxiliary Building. Grab samples are performed prior to drawdown to document the amount of radioactivity released during these evolutions.

These do not include normal routine effluent releases from anticipated operational and maintenance occurrences such as power level changes, reactor trip, opening primary system loops, degassing, letdown of reactor coolant or transferring spent resin and do not include non-routine events such as minor leakages from piping, valves, pump seals, tank vents, etc.

2.2 Liquid Effluents 2.2.1 Measurement of Liquid Radioactivity 2.2.1.1 Continuous Liquid Releases Grab samples are taken for continuous liquid release pathways and analyzed on the HPGe gamma spectrometer and liquid scintillation detector (for tritium) if required by the conditional action requirements of the REMODCM. Total estimated volume is multiplied by the isotopic concentrations (if any) to determine the total activity released. A proportional aliquot of each discharge is retained for composite analysis for Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55 and gross alpha if required by the conditional action requirements of the REMODCM. Pathways for continuous liquid effluent releases include, Steam Generator Blowdown, Service Water Effluent, and Turbine Building Sump discharge from Units 2 & 3.
2.2.1.2 Liquid Tanks/Sumps There are numerous tanks & sumps that are used to discharge liquids containing radioactivity to the environs; they are:
Unit I Reactor Cavity Water Unit 2 Clean Waste Monitor Tanks (2)
Aerated Waste Monitor Tanks (2)
CPF Waste Neutralization Sump & Turbine Building Sump Steam Generator Bulk Unit 3 High Level Waste Test Tanks (2)
Low Level Waste Drain Tanks (2)
Boron Test Tanks CPF Waste Neutralization Sump & Turbine Building Sump Steam Generator Bulk Prior to release, a tank is re-circulated for two equivalent tank volumes, a sample is drawn and then analyzed on the HPGe gamma spectrometer and liquid scintillation detector (H-3) for individual radionuclide composition. Isotopic concentrations are multiplied by the volume released to obtain the total activity released. For bulk releases, several samples are taken during the discharge to verify the amount of radioactivity released. A proportional aliquot of each discharge is retained for composite analysis for Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55, Ni-63, and gross alpha.
2.2.2 Estimate of Errors Estimates of errors associated with radioactivity measurements were made using the following guidelines:
Sampling/Data Collection 10% Variation in data collection Calibration 10% Calibration to NBS standards Sample Counting 10% Error for counting statistics Flow & Level Measurements 10% Error for release volumes 33

In 2007, the following abnormal liquid releases occurred:
2.2.4.1 Unit I - None 2.2.4.2 Unit 2 - None 2.2.4.3 Unit 3 -
Unplanned Releases from Foundation Drain Sump 3 Several additional ground water monitoring locations have been phased in since the beginning of the Groundwater Protection Initiative (GPI). The Unit 3 Foundation drains (3 SRW Sumps 2 and 3) were added to the ground water monitoring plan in 2007. These sumps are part of the Unit 3 Foundation Underdrain System. Its purpose is to collect and move ground water away from building foundations thereby preventing the in-leakage of groundwater. Several samples were obtained in the first half of 2007. These samples showed low levels of tritium. In November, 2007, tritium was detected in 3SRW Sump No. 3 in excess of the EPA drinking water limit (20,000 pCi/liter). The highest measured level of activity was 34,000 pCi/liter. Exceedance of the EPA value caused a special report to station key stakeholders as listed in RAC 14, Non-Emergency Station Events. Notification of stakeholders is a condition of the recently invoked NEI Guideline 07-07, Groundwater Protection Initiative. Since this release of tritium to ground water was not expected, it is an unplanned release.
An investigation was performed to determine the source and the extent of the radioactive plume and to ensure that no sources of public drinking water were affected. This was accomplished by sampling existing groundwater monitoring wells and additional subterranean cavities (e.g. sumps, piping leading to these sumps, cable vaults, man ways, and storm drains). Three foundation drain pipes discharge into 3SRW Sump 3. These three pipes are described as follows: (1) a pipe at elevation 7.33 feet that runs northward from the sump toward the Unit 3 Waste Test Tank Berm; (2) a pipe at elevation 0.83 feet that runs westward toward the Unit 3 Fuel Pool and (3) a pipe that runs southward toward the Unit 3 RWST. Visual examinations of these pipes indicated that the water was flowing in from only pipes (1) and (3). Analyses of the water from these pipes indicated that pipe (1) did not have any detectable tritium and pipe (3) contained tritium at an approximate concentration of 40,000 pCi/liter. Pipe (2) was typically dry.
34
Further investigation into the source of this tritium led to examining the RWST pit. This pit contained approximately 200 gallons of water with tritium at approximately 4,000,000 pCi/liter. This was a sufficient source to produce the levels of tritium that were detected in 3SRW Sump No. 3. Efforts to contain this pit confirmed it as the source of tritium in this sump. Examination of potential inputs to the RWST pit indicated the RWST overflow line terminated here. Measurements of the water condensing in this line indicated that the source was RWST vapor (condensation). The corrective action to prevent reoccurrence is to perform a design change to the overflow line such that it will be directly piped to radwaste processing.
Review of the site hydrology and data from sampling other wells and several additional water sampling locations, indicated that the contamination was limited to the Unit 3 Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) yard. The Foundation Drain system limits the spread of any underground plume in this area by channeling water to the sumps which is pumped into the yard drain system. The releases via the yard drain system are listed in Table 2.3-L5 and the detailed measurements are listed in Table 2.4-GW. The calculated doses for 2007 resulting from these releases are as follows:
Total body dose: 4.8 E-06 mrem Max Organ dose: 4.8 E-06 mrem 2.2.5 Liquid Release Tables The following tables provide the details of the liquid radioactivity released from each of the Millstone units. They are categorized by type of release, source(s), and by release point of discharge to the environment.

SECTION I. RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT MONITORING MANUAL (REMM)
I.A. Introduction The purpose of Section I of this manual is to provide the sampling and analysis programs which provide input to Section II for calculating liquid and gaseous effluent concentrations and offsite doses. Guidelines are provided for operating radioactive waste treatment systems in order that offsite doses are kept As -Low -As - Reasonably- Achievable (ALARA).
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program outlined within this manual provides confirmation that the measurable concentrations of radioactive material in the environment as a result of operations at the Millstone Site are not higher than expected.
In addition, this manual outlines the information required to be submitted to the NRC in both the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report and the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document (TID)," has additional bases and technical information. It also contains a list of exceptions to Regulatory Guide 1.21 (see Section 2 of the TID).
I.B. Responsibilities All changes to the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Manual (REMM) shall be reviewed and approved by the Site Operations Review Committee prior to implementation.
All changes and their rationale shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
It shall be the responsibility of the Site Vice President Millstone to ensure that this manual is used as required by the administrative controls of the Technical Specifications. The delegation of implementation responsibilities is delineated in MP REC- PRG, "Radiological Effluent Program."
I.C. Liquid Effluents
- 1. Liquid Effluent Sampling and Analysis Program Radioactive liquid wastes shall be sampled and analyzed in accordance with the program specified in Table I.C.-1 for Millstone Unit No. 1, Table I.C.-2 for Millstone Unit No. 2, and Table I.C.-3 for Millstone Unit No. 3. The results of the radioactive analyses shall be input to the methodology of Section II to assure that the concentrations at the point of release are j__ j/ _MP-22-REC-BAP01 NSTT N*A" T\ REVIEWRev. 025-02

The LLD is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.
For a particular measurement system (which may include radiochemical separation):
4.66 Sb (E)(V)(2.22x1O 6 )(ye- At)
Where:
- LLD is the lower limit of detection as defined above (as [tCi 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 transformation)
- V is the sample size (in units of mass or volume) 0 2.22 x 106 is the number of transformations per minute per [tCi 0 Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)
- X is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide
- At is the elapsed time between midpoint of sample collection and midpoint of counting time

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, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and recorded on the analysis sheet for the particular sample.
B. Prior to the sampling, each batch shall be isolated and at least two tank/sump volumes shall be recirculated or equivalent mixing provided.

- 3. Basis for Liquid Sampling, Analysis and Radioactive Treatment System Use Paragraph (a)(2) of Part 50.36a provides that licensee will submit an annual report to the Commission which specifies the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released to unrestricted areas in liquid effluents during the past 12 months of plant operation. The indicated liquid surveillance programs (as directed by surveillance requirements for Radiological Effluent Controls in Sections III.D.l.a., IVD.1.a., and VD.1.a.
provides the means to quantify and report on liquid discharges from release pathways. As specified in Regulatory Guide 1.21, this program monitors all major and potentially significant paths for release of radioactive material in liquid effluents during normal reactor operations, including anticipated operational occurrences. There are many minor release pathways which are not routinely monitored. The Millstone Effluent Control Program includes, as needed, evaluations to determine if any release point should be added to the REMODCM surveillance program. This information also provides for the assessment of effluent concentrations and environmental dose impacts for the purpose of demonstration compliance with the effluent limits of 10 CFR 20, and dose objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in liquid waste samples are tabulated in terms of Lower Limits of Detection (LLDs) and are selected such that the detection of radioactivity in effluent releases will occur at levels below which effluent concentration limits and off-site dose objectives would be exceeded. The LLDs are listed in Table 4.11-1 of NUREG- 1301 except for the LLD for Ce-144 which is contained in Footnote (3) of Table 4.11-1 of NUREG-1301.
The indicated liquid radwaste treatment equipment for each Unit have been determined, using the GALE code, to be capable to minimize radioactive liquid effluents such that the dose objectives of Appendix I can be met for expected routine (and anticipated operational occurrence) effluent releases.
This equipment is maintained and routinely operated to treat appropriate liquid waste streams without regards to projected environmental doses.
If not already in use, the requirement that the appropriate portions of the liquid radioactive waste treatment system for each Unit be returned to service when the specified effluent doses are exceeded provides assurance that the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This condition of equipment usage implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, and the design objective given in Section II.D.
of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The specified dose limits governing the required use of appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste treatment system were selected as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.A. of Appendix 1, 10 CFR 50 for liquid effluents following the guidance given in NUREG- 1301.

- a. Dose Criteria for Equipment Operability Applicable to All Millstone Units The following dose criteria shall be applied separately to each Millstone unit.
- 1) IF any of the radioactive waste processing equipment listed in Section 2.b. are not routinely operating, THEN doses due to gaseous effluents from the untreated waste stream to unrestricted areas shall be projected at least once per 31 days in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section II.D.4. For each waste stream, only those doses specified in Section II.D.4. need to be determined for compliance with this section.
- 2) IF any of these dose projections exceed 0.02 mrad for gamma radiation, 0.04 mrad for beta radiation or 0.03 mrem to any organ due to gaseous effluents, THEN best efforts shall be made to return the processing equipment to service.
- 3) IF actual doses exceed 0.2 mrad for gamma radiation, 0.4 mrad for beta radiation or 0.3 mrem to any organ AND the dose from a waste stream with equipment not operating exceed 10% any of these limits, THEN prepare and submit to the Commission a report as specified in Section I.D.2.c.
- b. Required Equipment for Each Millstone Unit Best efforts shall be made to return the gaseous radioactive waste treatment system equipment specified below for each unit to service if the projected doses exceed any of doses specified above. For the Unit 2 gas decay tanks, the tanks shall be operated to allow enough decay time of radioactive gases to ensure that the Radiological Effluent Control dose limits are not exceeded.

- 3. Basis for Gaseous Sampling, Analysis, and Radioactive Treatment System Use Paragraph (a)(2) of Part 50.36a provides that licensee will submit an annual report to the Commission which specifies the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released to unrestricted areas in gaseous effluents during the past 12 months of plant operation. The indicated gaseous surveillance programs (as directed by surveillance requirements for Radiological Effluent Controls in Sections III.D.2.a., IVD.2.a. and V.D.2.a.
provides the means to quantify and report on radioactive materials released to the atmosphere. As specified in Regulatory Guide 1.21, this program monitors all major and potentially significant paths for release of radioactive material in gaseous effluents during normal reactor operations, including anticipated operational occurrences. There are many minor release pathways which are not routinely monitored. The Millstone Effluent Control Program includes, as needed, evaluations to determine if any release point should be added to the REMODCM surveillance program. This information also provides for the assessment of effluent dose rates and environmental dose impacts for the purpose of demonstration compliance with the effluent limits of 10 CFR 20, and dose objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in gaseous waste samples are tabulated in terms of lower limits of detection (LLDs) and are selected, based on NUREG-1301, such that the detection of radioactivity in releases will occur at levels below which effluent offsite dose objectives would be exceeded. The indicated gaseous radwaste treatment equipment for each Unit have been determined, using the GALE code, to be capable to minimize radioactive gaseous effluents such that the dose objectives of Appendix I can be met for expected routine (and anticipated operational occurrence) effluent releases. This equipment is maintained and routinely operated to treat appropriate gaseous waste streams without regards to projected environmental doses.
If not already in use, the requirement that the appropriate portions of the gaseous radioactive waste treatment system for each Unit be returned to service when the specified effluent doses are exceeded provides assurance that the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This condition of equipment usage implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, and the design objective given in Section II.D.
of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The specified dose limits governing the required use of appropriate portions of the gaseous radwaste treatment system were selected as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.A. of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50 for gaseous effluents following the guidance in NUREG- 1301.

I.E. Radiological Environmental Monitoring
- 1. Sampling and Analysis The radiological sampling and analyses provide measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from plant operation. This monitoring program 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 modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.
Program changes may be made based on operational experience.
The sampling and analyses shall be conducted as specified in Table I.E. -1 for the locations shown Table I.E.-2. Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment or other legitimate reasons. If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, every effort shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period.
All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Section I.E1. It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to continue to obtain samples of the media of choice (excluding milk) at the most desired location or time. In these instances suitable alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathways in questions and appropriate substitutions made within 30 days in the radiological environmental monitoring program.
If milk samples are temporarily unavailable from any one or more of the milk sample locations required by Table I.E.-2, a grass sample shall be substituted during the growing season (Apr. - Dec.) and analyzed for gamma isotopes and I- 131 until milk is again available. Upon notification that milk samples will be unavailable for a prolonged period (>9 months) from any one or more of the milk sample locations required by Table I.E.-2, a suitable replacement milk location shall be evaluated and appropriate changes made in the radiological environmental monitoring program.
Reasonable attempts shall be made to sample the replacement milk location prior to the end of the next sampling period. Any of the above occurrences shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report, which is submitted to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission prior to May 1 of each year.
Changes to sampling locations shall be identified in a revised Table I.E. -2 and, as necessary, Figure(s) I.E.-1 through I.E.-3.

If the level of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium at one or more of the locations specified in Table I.E. -2 exceeds the report levels of Table I.E.- 3 when averaged over any calendar quarter, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days from the end of the affected calendar quarter, a Special Report which includes an evaluation of any release conditions, environmental factors or other aspects which caused the limits of Table I.E.-3 to be exceeded. When more than one of the radionuclides in Table I.E.-3 are detected in the sampling medium, this report shall be submitted if:
concentration (1) concentration (2) 1.0 reporting level (1) reporting level (2)
When radionuclides other than those in Table I.E.-3 are detected and are the result of plant effluents, this report shall be submitted if the potential annual dose to an individual is equal to or greater than the appropriate calendar year limit of the Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III.D.l.b.,
III.D.2.b., or III.D.2.c. for Unit 1; Sections IVD.i.b., IV.D.2.b., or IVD.2.c.
for Unit 2; and Sections V.D.1.b., VD.2.b., or VD.2.c. for Unit 3). 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.
The detection capabilities required by Table I.E.-4 are state-of-the-art 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. All analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

- 2. Land Use Census The land use census ensures that changes in the use of unrestricted areas are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IVB.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The land use census shall be maintained and shall identify the location of the nearest resident, nearest garden*, and milk animals in each of the 16 meteorological sectors within a distance of five miles.
The validity of the land use census shall be verified within the last half of every year by either a door-to-door survey, aerial survey, consulting local agriculture authorities, or any combination of these methods.
With a land use census identifying a location(s) which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than the doses currently being calculated in the off-site dose models, make the appropriate changes in the sample locations used.
With a land use census identifying a location(s) which has a higher D/Q than a current indicator location the following shall apply:
- 1) If the D/Q is at least 20% greater than the previously highest D/Q, replace one of the present sample locations with the new one within 30 days if milk is available.
- 2) If the D/Q is not 20% greater than the previously highest D/Q, consider direction, distance, availability of milk, and D/Q in deciding whether to replace one of the existing sample locations. If applicable, replacement shall be within 30 days. If no replacement is made, sufficient justification shall be given in the annual report.
Sample location changes shall be noted in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
- Broad leaf vegetation (a composite of at least 3 different kinds of vegetation) may be sampled at the site boundary in each of 2 different direction sectors with high D/Qs in lieu of a garden census.
- 3. Interlaboratory Comparison Program The 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 a quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are reasonably valid.

Analyses shall be performed on radioactive materials supplied as part of an Interlaboratory Comparison Program. A summary of the results obtained as part of the above required Interlaboratory Comparison Program shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
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.
- 4. Bases for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Federal regulations (10 CFR Parts 20 and 50) require that radiological environmental monitoring programs be established to provide data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the site environs.
In addition, Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 requires that the relationship between quantities of radioactive material released in effluents during normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences, and the resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure be evaluated. The Millstone Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program (REMP) has been established to verify the effectiveness of in-plant measures used for controlling the release of radioactive materials from the plant, as well as provide for the comparison of measurable concentrations of radioactive materials found in the environment with expected levels based on effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.
The REMP detailed in Table I.E.- 1 provides measurements of radioactive materials or exposures in the environment along all principal exposure pathways to man that could be impacted by plant effluents. These include direct radiation exposure, inhalation exposure, and ingestion of food products (both aquatic and land grown). In addition, intermediate media such as vegetation and bottom sediments are included as potential early indicators of radioactive material buildup. The selections of sample locations include areas subject to plant effluents that would be expected to exhibit early indication of any buildup of plant related radioactive materials.
The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of lower limits of detection (LLDs). Except for Ba- 140 and La- 140 in milk, the required LLDs are from NUREGs- 1301 and 1302.
The NUREGs specify an LLD of 15 pCi/1 for the parent-daughter combination of Ba-La-140. An LLD of 25 pCi/l is specified for the daughter La-140 and 70 pCi/1 for the parent Ba-140.

SECTION II. OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (CDCM)
II.A. Introduction The purpose of the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (Section II of the REMODCM) is to provide the parameters and methods to be used in calculating offsite doses and effluent monitor setpoints at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station. Included are methods for determining maximum individual whole body and organ doses due to liquid and gaseous effluents to assure compliance with the regulatory dose limitations in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. Also included are methods for performing dose projections to assure compliance with the liquid and gaseous treatment system operability sections of the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Manual (REMM - Section I of the REMODCM). The manual also includes the methods used for determining quarterly and annual doses for inclusion in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
The bases for selected site-specific factors used in the dose calculation methodology are provided in MP:22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information."
Another section of this manual discusses the methods to be used in determining effluent monitor alarm/trip setpoints to be used to ensure compliance with the instantaneous release rate limits in Sections III.D.2.a., IV.D.2.a., and VD.2.a.
This manual includes the methods to be used in performance of the surveillance requirements in the Radiological Effluent Controls of Sections III, IV, and V.
Appendix A, Tables App.A-1 provide a cross-reference of effluent requirements and applicable methodologies contained in the REMODCM.
Most of the calculations in this manual have several methods given for the calculation of the same parameter. These methods are arranged in order of simplicity and conservatism, Method 1 being the easiest and most conservative.
As long as releases remain low, one should be able to use Method 1 as a simple estimate of the dose. If release calculations approach the limit, however, more detailed yet less conservative calculations may be used. At any time a more detailed calculation may be used in lieu of a simple calculation.
This manual is written common to all three units since some release pathways are shared and there are also site release limits involved. These facts make it impossible to completely separate the three units.
II.B. Responsibilities All changes to the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) shall be reviewed and approved by the Site Operations Review Committee prior to implementation.

All changes and their rationale shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
It shall be the responsibility of the Vice President and Senior Nuclear Executive
- Millstone to ensure that this manual is used as required by the administrative controls of the Technical Specifications. The delegation of implementation responsibilities is delineated in the MP-22-REC-PRG, "Radiological Effluent Control."
II.C. Liquid Dose Calculations The determination of potential doses from liquid effluents to the maximum exposed member of the public is divided into two methods. Method 1 is a simplified calculation approach that is used as an operational tool to ensure that effluent releases as they occur are not likely to cause quarterly and annual offsite dose limits to be exceeded. Effluent doses are calculated at least once every 31 days. Method 2 is a more detailed computational calculation using accepted computer models to demonstrate actual regulatory dose compliance. Method 2 is used whenever the Method 1 estimation begins to approach a regulatory limit, and for preparation of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report, which includes the quarterly and annual dose impacts for all effluents recorded discharged to the environment during the year of record.
- 1. Whole Body Dose from Liquid Effluents Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III, IV, and V) limit the whole body dose to an individual member of the public to 1.5 mrem per calendar quarter and 3 mrem per year from liquid effluents released from each unit. (See Appendix A, Table App.A- 1 for cross-reference effluent control C requirements and applicable sections in the REMODCM which are used to determine compliance). In addition, installed portions of liquid radwaste treatment system are required to be operated to reduce radioactive materials in liquid effluents when the projected whole body dose over 31 days from applicable waste streams exceeds 0.006 mrem. This part of the REMODCM provides the calculation methodology for determining the whole body dose from radioactive materials released into liquid pathways of exposure associated with routine discharges. This includes the liquid pathways which contribute to the 25 mrem annual total dose limit (40 CFR190) to any real individual member of the public from all effluent sources (liquids, gases, and direct).
- a. Method 1 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)
For Unit 1: No Method 1, use Method 2 (Section II.C.l.b.)
WMP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP"ý THINK 4AC7 REVIEW Rev. 025-02
>' \ 54 of 163
For Units 2 and 3:
Dw = 0.2 CF + 5.6 x 10-7 CH Where:
Dw= The estimated whole body dose to a potentially maximum exposed individual (in mrem) due to fission and activation products released in liquid effluents during a specified time period.
CF = total gross curies of fission and activation products, excluding tritium and dissolved noble gases, released during the period of interest.
CH = total curies of tritium released during the period of interest.
If Dw, within a calendar quarter is greater than 0.5 mrem, go to Method 2.
- b. Method 2 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)
If the calculated dose using Method 1 is greater than 0.5 mrem within a calendar quarter, or if a more accurate determination is desired, use the NRC computer code LADTAP II, or a code which uses the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109, to calculate the liquid whole body doses. Method 2 (LADTAP II) is also used in the performance of dose calculations for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. The use of this code is given in MP-22-REC-GDLO2, "Liquid Dose Calculations
- LADTAP-II." Additional information on LADTAPII is contained in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Manual."
- 2. Maximum Organ Dose from Liquid Effluents Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections 1II, IV, and V) limit the maximum organ dose to an individual member of the public to 5 mrem per calendar quarter and 10 mrem per year from liquid effluents released from each unit.
(See Appendix A, Table App.A- 1 for cross-reference effluent control I requirements and applicable sections in the REMODCM which are used to determine compliance). In addition, installed portions of liquid radwaste treatment system are required to be operated to reduce radioactive materials in liquid effluents when the projected maximum organ dose over 31 days from applicable waste streams exceeds 0.02 mrem. This part of the REMODCM provides the calculation methodology for determining the maximum organ dose from radioactive materials released into liquid pathways of exposure associated with routine discharges.

liquid pathways which contribute to the 25 mrem annual organ (except 75 mrem thyroid) dose limit (40 CFR190) to any real individual member of the public from all effluent sources (liquids, gases, and direct).
- a. Method 1 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)
For Unit 1: No Method 1, use Method 2 (Section II.C.2.b.)
For Units 2 and 3:
Do= 1.5 CF Where: Do =The estimated maximum organ dose to the potentially maximum exposed individual (in mrem) due to fission and activation products released in liquid effluents during a specified time period.
CF =total gross curies of fission and activation products, excluding tritium and dissolved noble gases, released during the period of interest - same asSection II.C.l.a.
If Do, within a calendar quarter is greater than 2 mrem, go to Method 2.
- b. Method 2 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)
If the calculated dose using Method 1 is greater than 2 mrem, or if a more accurate determination is desired, use the NRC computer code LADTAP II, or a code which uses the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109, to calculate the liquid maximum organ doses. Method 2 (LADTAP II) is also used in the performance of dose calculations for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. The use of this code and the input parameters are given in MP-22-REC-GDLO2, "Liquid Dose Calculations - LADTAP-H." Additional information on LADTAPII is contained in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Manual."
- 3. Estimation of Annual Whole Body Dose (Applicable to All Units)
An estimation of annual (year-to-date) whole body dose (Dyw) from liquid effluents shall be made every month to determine compliance with the annual dose limits for each Unit which releases any radioactivity in liquid effluents. Annual doses will be determined as follows:
Dyw = ZDw Where the sum of the doses include the whole body dose contribution from all effluent releases for each Unit recorded to-date. For estimation of the S J 56o1MP-22-REC-BAP01

for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report are completed for any calendar quarter, use that result.
- 2) If the detailed calculations are not complete for a particular quarter, use the results as determined in Section II.C.1.
- 3) If the annual dose estimate, Dyw, is greater than 3 mrem and any Dw determined as in Section II.C.1. was not calculated using Method 2 (i.e., LADTAP II computer code or a Regulatory Guide 1.109 code),
recalculate Dw using Method 2 if this could reduce Dyw to less than 3 mrem.
- 4. Estimation of Annual Maximum Organ Dose (Applicable to All Units)
An estimation of annual (year-to-date) maximum organ dose (Dyo) from liquid effluents shall be made every month to determine compliance with the annual dose limits for each Unit which releases any radioactivity in liquid effluents. Annual doses will be determined as follows:
Do= ZDo Where the sum of the doses include the maximum organ dose contribution from all effluent releases for each Unit recorded to-date. For estimation of the Total Dose requirements of 40CFR190, the effluent releases from all three Units combined are used.
The following guidelines shall be used:
- 1) If the detailed quarterly dose calculations required per Section II.C.6.
for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report are completed for any calendar quarter, use that result.
- 2) If the detailed calculations are not complete for a particular quarter, use the results as determined in Section II.C.2.
- 3) If different organs are the maximum for different quarters, they may be summed together and Dyo can be recorded as a less than value as long as the value is less than 10 mrem.
0MP-22-REC-BAP0 S"THINK 'ACTY REVIEW Rev. 025 - 02
/ ~A 57 of 163
- 4) If DyO is greater than 10 mrem and any value used in its determination was calculated as in Section II.C.2., but not with Method 2 (i.e.,
LADTAP II computer code or a Regulatory Guide 1.109 code),
recalculate that value using Method 2 if this could reduce Dyo to less than 10 mrem.
- 5. Monthly Dose ProjectionsSection I.C.2.a. of the REMM requires that certain portions of the liquid radwaste treatment equipment be used to reduce radioactive liquid effluents when the projected doses for each Unit (made at least once per 31 days) exceeds 0.006 mrem whole body or 0.02 mrem to any organ. The following methods are applied in the estimation of monthly dose projections:
- a. Whole Body and Maximum Organ (Applicable to Unit I Only)
In the dose code DOSLIQ use concentrations of radionuclides in reactor cavity water and estimates of projected volumes and discharge rates for the following 31 days to estimate dose from liquid discharge of reactor cavity water in the following 31 days.
- b. Whole Body and Maximum Organ when Steam Generator Total Gamma Activity is less than 5E-7 [tCi/ml and Steam Generator Tritium is less than 0.02 ýtCi/ml (Applicable to Units 2 and 3)
The projected monthly whole body dose (Units 2 or 3) is determined from:
DEMw = D'Mw [R 1 R 4 F 2]
The monthly projected maximum organ dose (Units 2 or 3) is determined from:
DEMo = D-MO [R 1 R 4 F2]
Where:
D'MW =the whole body dose from the last typical* previously completed month as calculated per the methods in Section II.C.1.
D'MO = the maximum organ dose from the last typical* previously completed month as calculated per the methods in Section II.C.2.

R, = the ratio of the total estimated volume of liquid batches to be released in the present month to the volume released in the past month.
R4 = the ratio of estimated primary coolant activity for the present month to that for the past month.
F2 = the factor to be applied to the estimated ratio of final curies released if there are expected differences in treatment of liquid waste for the present month as opposed to the past month (e.g., bypass of filters or demineralizers).
NUREG-0017 or past experience shall be used to determine the effect of each form of treatment which will vary. F2 = 1 if there are no expected differences.
Notes:
- 1) The last month should be typical without significant operational differences from the projected month. If there were no releases during last month, do not 'use that month as the base month if it is estimated that there will be releases for the coming month.
- 2) If the last typical month's doses were calculated using LADTAP II (or similar methodology), also multiply the LADTAP (or similar methodology) doses by R5 where R 5 =
total dilution flow from LADTAP run divided by estimated total dilution flow.

- 7. Bases for Liquid Pathway Dose Calculations The dose calculation methodology and parameters used in Section II of the REMODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I (10CFR50) which states that conformance with the dose objectives 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 estimations calculated by both Method 1 and Method 2 are based on the liquid models presented in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev.1; "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10CFR Part 50, Appendix I". These equations are implemented via the use of the NRC sponsored computer code LADTAP II. Input parameter values typically used in the dose models are listed in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document." This same methodology is used in the determination of compliance with the 40CFR190 total dose standard for the liquid pathways.
The conversion constants in the Method 1 equations are based on the maximum observed comparison of historical effluent releases for each unit and corresponding whole body or critical organ doses to a maximum individual. The dose conversion factors are calculated based on the ratio of the observed highest dose (whole body and organ) and the curies of fission and activation products released during the period. This ratio results in the Method 1 equation conversion factor in mrem/Ci released. This same approach was repeated separately for tritium (as a different radionuclide class) discharged in liquids wastes. MP-22-REC-REF03 describes the derivation of the Method 1 constants and list the historical whole body and maximum organ doses calculated for each unit operation.

II.D. Gaseous Dose Calculations The determination of potential release rates and doses from radioactive gaseous effluents to the maximum off-site receptor are divided into two methods. Method 1 provides simplified operational tools to ensure that effluent releases are not likely to cause quarterly and annual off-site dose or dose rate limits to be exceeded. Effluent doses are calculated at least once every 31 days. Method 2 provides for a more detailed computational calculation using accepted computer models to demonstrate actual regulatory compliance. Method 2 is used whenever the Method 1 estimation approaches a regulatory limit, and for preparation of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report which includes the quarterly and annual dose impacts for all effluents recorded discharged to the atmosphere during the year of record.
- 1. Site Release Rate Limits ("Instantaneous")
Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III, IV, and V) for each unit require that the instantaneous off-site dose ratesfrom noble gases released to the atmosphere be limited such that they do not exceed 500 mrem/year at any time to the whole body or 3000 mrem/year to the skin at any time from the external cloud. For iodine-131, 133, tritium, and particulates (half-lives >
8 days), the inhalation pathway critical organ dose rate from all units shall not exceed 1500 mrem/year at any time. These limits apply to the combination of releases from all three Units on the site, and are directly related to the radioactivity release rates measured for each Unit. By limiting gaseous release rates for both classes of radionuclides (i.e., noble gases; and iodines, tritium, and particulates) to within values which correlate to the above dose rate limits, assurance is provided that the Radiological Effluent Controls dose rate limits are not exceeded.
- a. Method 1 for Noble Gas Release Rate Limits The instantaneous noble gas release rate limit from the site shall be:
Q1v /90,000 + Q2S/ 5 6 0 ,00 0 + Q2V/ 2 9 0 ,0 00 + Q3s/ 5 6 0 ,0 0 0 + Q3v/ 2 9 0,000 < 1 Where:

As long as the above is less than or equal to 1, the doses will be less than or equal to 500 mrem to the total body and less than 3000 mrem to the skin. The limiting factor for the Unit 1 SFPI vent of 90,000 is based on the skin dose limit of 3,000 mrem/year, while all the other factors are based on the whole body dose limit of 500 mrem/year.

- b. Liquid Releases from Units 1, 2, and 3.
- c. Direct and Scattered Radiation from Radioactive Material on Site.
- d. Since all other uranium fuel cycle sources are greater than 5 miles away, they need not be considered.
The Radiological Effluent Controls in Sections III.E. (Unit 1), IVE. (Unit 2), and VE. (Unit 3) contain specific requirements for ensuring compliance with 40CFR190 based on gaseous and liquid doses (sources a and b).
Doses to source c are controlled by design and operations to ensure the off-site dose from each radwaste storage facility is less than one mrem per year. Potential doses from each facility are evaluated in Radiological Environmental Reviews (RERs) where total off-site doses from all sources are considered to ensure compliance with 40CFR190.
- 7. Bases for Gaseous Pathway Dose Calculations The dose calculation methodology and parameters used in Section II of the REMODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A. of Appendix I (10CFR50) which states that conformance with the ALARA dose objectives 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.
Operational flexibility is provided by controlling the instantaneous release rate of noble gas (as well as iodines and particulate activity) such the maximum off-site dose rates are less than the equivalent of 500 mrem/year to the whole body, 3000 mrem/year to the skin from noble gases, or 1500 mrem/year to a critical organ from the inhalation of iodines, tritium and particulates. The dose rate limits are based on the 10CFR20 annual dose limits, but applied as an instantaneous limit to assure that the actual dose over a year will be well below these numbers.
The equivalent instantaneous release rate limits for Millstone Stack were determined using the EPA AIREM code. For Units 2 & 3, these doses were calculated using the NRC GASPAR code. The AIREM code calculates cloud gamma doses using dose tables from a model that considers the finite extent of the cloud in the vertical direction. Beta doses are calculated assuming semi-infinite cloud concentrations, which are based upon a MP-22-REC-BAP01 NSTOPY AT zAHIK CK REVI EW Rev. 025 -02

standard sector averaged diffusion equation. The GASPAR code implements the models of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10CFR Part 50, Appendix I." Input parameter values typically used in the dose models are listed in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document." This same methodology is used in the determination of compliance with the 40CFR190 total dose standard for the gaseous pathways.
In the determination of compliance with the dose and dose rate limits, maximum individual dose calculations are performed at the nearest land site boundary with maximum decayed X/Q, and at the nearest vegetable garden (assumed to be nearest residence) and cow and goat farms with maximum D/Qs. The conversion constants in the Method 1 equations for maximum air doses, organ and whole body doses, and dose rates are based on the maximum observed comparison of historical effluent releases and corresponding calculated maximum doses. The dose conversion factors are calculated based on the ratio of the observed highest dose and the curies of fission and activation products released during the period. This ratio results in the Method 1 equation conversion factor in mrem/Ci released.
MP-22-REC-REF02 describes the derivation of the Method 1 constants and list the historical maximum doses calculated for the maximum organ.

- 1. Unit 1 Reactor Cavity Water Discharge Line The limit on discharge flow rate and setpoint on the Unit 1 liquid waste monitor depend on dilution water flow, radwaste discharge flow, the isotopic composition of the liquid, the background count rate of the monitor and the efficiency of the monitor. Due to the variability of these parameters, the alert and alarm setpoints will be determined prior to the release of each batch. The following method will be used:

A setpoint based upon worst case conditions may be used. Assume the maximum possible discharge flow, a minimum dilution flow not to exceed 100,000 gpm, and a limit of 1 x 10-7 [tCi/ml which is lower than any 10CFR20 EC limit except for transuranics. This will assure that low level releases are not terminated due to small fluctuations in activity. When using this option setpoint independent verification of discharge lineup shall be performed.
The optional setpoint may be adjusted (increased or decreased) by factors to account for the actual discharge flow and actual dilution flow; however, controls shall be established to ensure that the allowable discharge flow is not exceeded and the dilution flow is maintained.

This will assure that low level releases are not terminated due to small fluctuations in activity. However, to verify that the correct tank is being discharged when using this value, independent valve verification shall be performed. This value may be adjusted (increased or decreased) by factors to account for the actual discharge flow and actual dilution flow; however, controls shall be established to ensure that the allowable discharge flow is not exceeded and the dilution flow is maintained.

Unit 2 Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water RM6038 The purpose of the Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW) radiation monitor is to give warning of abnormal radioactivity in the RBCCW system and to prevent releases to the Service Water system which, upon release to the environment, would exceed ten times the concentration values in 10CFR20. According to Calculation RERM -02665- R2, radioactivity in RBCCW water which causes a monitor response of greater than the setpoint prescribed below could exceed ten times thel0CFR20 concentrations upon release to the Service Water system.
SETPOINT DURING POWER OPERATIONS:
To give adequate warning of abnormal radioactivity, the setpoint shall be two times the radiation monitor background reading, provided that the
background reading does not exceed 2,000 cpm. The monitor background reading shall be the normal monitor reading. If the monitor background reading exceeds 2,000 cpm, the setpoint shall be set at the background reading plus 2,000 cpm and provisions shall be made to adjust the setpoint if the background decreases.
SETPOINT DURING SHUTDOWN:
- 1) During outages not exceeding three months the setpoint shall be two times the radiation monitor background reading, provided that the background reading does not exceed 415 cpm. If the monitor background reading exceeds 415 cpm, the setpoint shall be set at the background reading plus 415 cpm and provisions shall be made to adjust the setpoint if the background decreases.
- 2) During extended outages exceeding three months, but not exceeding three years, the setpoint shall be two times the radiation monitor background reading, provided that the background reading does not exceed 80 cpm. If the monitor background reading exceeds 80 cpm, the setpoint shall be set at the background reading plus 80 cpm and provisions shall be made to adjust the setpoint if the background decreases.
PROVISIONS FOR ALTERNATE DILUTION FLOWS:
These setpoints are based on a dilution flow of 4,000 gpm from one service water train. If additional dilution flow is credited, the setpoint may be adjusted proportionately. For example, the addition of a circulating water pump dilution flow of 100,000 gpm would allow the setpoint to be increased by a factor of 25.

- 13. Bases for Liquid Monitor Setpoints Liquid effluent monitors are provided on discharge pathways to control, as applicable, the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases of liquid waste to the environment. The alarm /
trip setpoints are calculated to ensure that the alarm / trip function of the monitor will occur prior to exceeding ten times the Effluent Concentration (EC) limits of 10 CFR 20 (Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2), which applies to the release of radioactive materials from all units on the site. This limitation also provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in Unrestricted Areas will result in exposures within the Section II.A. design objectives of Appendix I to 10CFR50 to a member of the public.
In application, the typical approach is to determine the expected concentration in a radioactive release path and set the allowable discharge rate past the monitor such the existing dilution flow will limit the effluent release concentration to 10% of the limit for the mix. The setpoint is then selected to be only 2 times the expected concentration, or 20% of the limit.
As a result, considerable margin is included in the selection of the setpoint for the monitor to account for unexpected changes in the discharge concentration or the contribution from other potential release pathways occurring at the same time as the planned effluent release. For those monitors on systems that are not expected to be contaminated, the alarm point is usually selected to be two times the ambient background to give notice that normal conditions may have changed and should be evaluated.

If effluent conditions from the MP2 vent reach the alarm setpoint, releases from Units 1 and 3 vents and from the Millstone Stack shall be determined to ensure that the sum of the individual noble gas release rates do not exceed the site limit as dictated in Section II.D.l.a., and described in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document," Section 4.2.

The MP2 waste gas decay tank monitor (given [tCi/cc per cpm) calibration curve and the tank discharge rate is used to assure that the concentration of gaseous activity being released from a waste gas decay tank does not cause the setpoint of 7,400 [tCi/sec to be exceeded.

4 [tCi/cc The alarm setpoint shall be set at or below a value of 8.4 x 10- for the MP3 vent in accordance with Calculation RERM-01946R3, Rev.1.
If effluent conditions from the MP3 vent reach the alarm setpoint, releases from Units 1 and 2 vents and from the Millstone Stack shall be determined to ensure that the sum of the individual noble gas release rates do not exceed the site limit as dictated in Section II.D.l.a., and described in MP REC- REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document,"
Section 4.2.
- 8. Unit 3 Engineering Safeguards Building Monitor - HVQ-RE49 The Alarm setpoint shall be set at or below the value of 5.9E-4 ýtCi/cc in accordance with Calculation RERM-01946-R3, Rev. 0.
- 9. Bases for Gaseous Monitor Setpoints, Gaseous effluent monitors are provided on atmospheric release pathways to control, as applicable, the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents to the environment. The alarm / trip setpoints are calculated to ensure that the alarm / trip function of the monitor will occur prior to exceeding the dose rate limits required by the Technical Specifications (Units 2 and 3) or. Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III. IV, and V) requirements for each unit. Monitor setpoint selection is based on a conservative set of conditions for each release pathway (as discussed above for each monitor pathway) such that the dose rate at any time at and beyond the site boundary from all gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the numerical values of the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 in Unrestricted Areas. Since the Radiological Effluent Controls are constructed such that the numerical values of the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 be applied on an instantaneous basis (i.e., no time averaging over the year), and the integrated dose objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I provide for corrective actions to reduce effluents if the ALARA dose values are exceeded, assurance is obtained that compliance with the revised annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20.1301 (100 mrem total effective dose equivalent to a member of the public) will also be met.

release rate values, which equate to the site dose rate limits, also provides operational flexibility to accommodate short periods of higher than normal effluent releases that may occur during plant operations.
APPENDIX II.A REMODCM METHODOLOGY CROSS-REFERENCES Radiological effluent controls (Sections III, IV, and V) identify the requirements for monitoring and limiting liquid and gaseous effluents releases from the site such the resulting dose impacts to members of the public are kept to 'As Low As Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA). The demonstration of compliance with the dose limits is by calculational models that are implemented by Section II of the REMODCM.
Table App. II.A- 1 provides a cross-reference guide between liquid and gaseous effluent release limits and those sections of the REMODCM, which are used to determine compliance. It also shows the administrative Technical Specifications which reference the REMODCM for operation of radioactive waste processing equipment. This table also provides a quick outline of the applicable limits or dose objectives and the required actions if those limits are exceeded. Details of the effluent control requirements and the implementing sections of the REMODCM should be reviewed directly for a full explanation of the requirements.

The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe -135 is the controlling radioisotope and its concentration in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.
Section III.D.l.b. - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Doses This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A.,
III.A, and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50. The specification 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 III.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". The dose calculations in the ODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I is to be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual 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 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.
Section III.D.2.a. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate This control is provided to ensure that the dose rate at anytime from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 for all areas offsite. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual offsite to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 10 CFR S N - / -MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP K7 'REVIEW Rev. 025-02

- 20. For individuals who may, at times, be within the site boundary, the occupancy of that individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the site boundary. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual 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/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to an infant via the cow-milk-infant pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year for the nearest cow to the plant.
Section III.D.2.b. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Noble Gas Dose This control is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.B., III.A.,
and IV.A. of Appendix I, 10 CFR 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 IVA 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 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 an individual through the appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents will be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculational of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR 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 the site boundary were based upon utilizing successively more realistic dose calculational methodologies. More realistic dose calculational methods are used whenever simplified calculations indicate a dose approaching a substantial portion of the regulatory limits. The methods used are, in order, previously determined air dose per released activity ratio, historical meteorological data and actual radionuclide mix released, or real time meteorology and actual radionuclides released.
Section III.D.2.c. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents, Particulates, and Gas Other Than Noble Gas Doses These controls is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A and IVA of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50. The controls are the guides 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 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 for Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The ODCM calculational methods for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials will to be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculating of Annual Dose to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix I,"
Revision I, 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 I, July 1977. These equations provide for determining the doses based upon either conservative atmospheric dispersion and an assumed critical nuclide mix or using real time meteorology and specific nuclides released. The release rate specifications for radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man. The pathways which are examined in the development of these calculations are: 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.
Section III.E. - Total Radiological Dose from Station Operations This control is provided to meet the reporting requirements of 40 CFR 190. For the purpose of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or withina radius of 5 miles must be considered.

Total Radiological Dose From Station Operation CONTROLS The annual dose or dose commitment to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, beyond the site boundary, from the Millstone Site is limited to less than or equal to 25 mrem to the total body or any organ (except the thyroid, which is limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem).
APPLICABILITY: At all times.
ACTION:
With the calculated dose from the release of radioactive materials in liquid or gaseous effluents exceeding twice the limits of Controls IVD.2.a., IV.D.1.b., or IVD.2.c. prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission within 30 days and limit the subsequent releases such that the dose commitment from the site to any REAL MEMBER OF. THE PUBLIC from the Millstone Site is limited to less than or equal to 25 mrem to the total body or any organ (except thyroid, which is limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem) over 12 consecutive months.
This Special Report shall include an analysis which demonstrates that radiation exposures from the site to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from the Millstone Site (including all effluent pathways and direct radiation) are less than the 40 CFR 190.
If the estimated doses exceed the above limits, the Special Report shall include a request for a variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190.
Submittal of the report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete.

instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50. Monitoring of the turbine building sumps and condensate polishing facility floor drains is not required due to relatively low concentrations of radioactivity possible.
Section IVC.2. - 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. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with the approved methods in the REMODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the dose rate limits, at any time, as specified in Section IV.D.2.a. 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 50.
Two types of radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation, monitors and samplers, are being used at MP2 vent and Millstone Stack. Monitors have alarm/trip setpoints and are demonstrated operable by performing one or more of the following operations: CHANNEL CHECK, SOURCE CHECK, CHANNEL CALIBRATION, and CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST Samplers are strictly collection devices made of canisters and filters. The CHANNEL CHECK surveillance requirements are met through (1) documented observation of the in-service rad monitor sample flow prior to filter replacement; (2) documented replacement of in-line iodine and particulate filters; and (3) documented observation of sample flow following the sampler return to service.
The flow indicator is the only indication available for comparison. These observations adequately provide assurance that the sampler is operating and is capable of performing its design function.
There are a number of gaseous release points which could exhibit very low concentrations of radioactivity. For all of these release paths, dose consequences would be insignificant due to the intermittent nature of the release and/or the extremely low concentrations of radioactivity. Since it is not cost-beneficial (nor in many cases practical due to the nature of the release (steam) or the impossibility of detecting such low levels), to monitor these pathways, it has been determined that these release paths require no monitoring or sampling.
Section IV.D.1.a. - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Concentrations This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site will be less than ten times the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2. This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will result in exposures within: (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50, to an individual and (2) the limits of 10 CFR 20 to the population.

based upon the assumption that Xe -135 is the controlling radioisotope and its concentration in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.
Section IVD.1.b. - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Doses This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A, III.A, and IVA of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50. The specification 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 III.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". The dose calculations in the ODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I is to be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual 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 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.
Section IVD.2.a. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate This specification is provided to ensure that the dose rate at anytime from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 for all areas offsite. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual offsite to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 10 CFR
- 20. For individuals who may, at times, be within the site boundary, the occupancy of that individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the site boundary. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual 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/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid or any other organ dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year.

The Alarm/Trip Setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section II to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding ten times the limits of 10 CFR 20. The OPERABILITY and
-A -MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THIN*- REVIEW Rev. 025-02
\ > \158 of 163
use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 20 Part 50.
OPERABILITY of a radiation monitor is determined by its ability to perform its specified function. The specified function of the radioactivity monitors listed in Table VC. -1 is to provide Control Room alarm annunciation and automatic termination of release. The monitor must be on-line with no unexpected alarms in order to perform its specified function.
Definition B.7 states a component is OPERABLE when it is capable of performing its specified function. The monitors are described in Tables VC. -1 and V.C.-2 as "Radioactivity Monitors Providing Alarm and Automatic Termination of Releases." Table V.C.-2 Note 1 requires that the Analog Channel Operational Test (ACOT) demonstrate that automatic isolation and "control room annunciation" occur. Control room annunciation cannot occur unless the monitor is on line (i.e. in communication with the RMS computer.).
Section VC.1. Surveillance Requirement requires that the ACOT be performed to demonstrate OPERABILITY. General Design Criteria 64 states in part:
"Means shall be provided for monitoring effluent discharge paths for radioactivity." Regulatory Guide 1.21 Appendix A describes a monitor program that is acceptable to the Regulatory staff. Under Section B of Appendix A, "LIQUID EFFLUENTS," the first paragraph states in part: "During the release of radioactive wastes, the effluent control monitor should be set to alarm and to initiate automatic closure..."
Certain of the monitors listed in Table VC.- 1 are designed to operate without sample pumps. These monitors utilize pressure in the effluent line during discharge to provide sample flow and sample pressure. Low sample flow and/or low sample pressure alarms may be received when no discharge is in progress.
These are expected alarms. Sample flow and/or sample pressure will return to normal when the discharge is initiated. These alarms will clear when discharge begins. The monitors are OPERABLE since they are able to perform their specified function with the expected alarms in.
Table VC. -1 note ## requires entry into the radioactive liquid effluent monitoring action statements whenever the radiation monitors are not available in the required MODE. This note applies to items L.a (3CND-RE07, Waste Neutralization Sump), 1.d (3LWC-RE65, Regenerate Evaporator Monitor), and i.e (3SSR-RE08, Steam Generator Blowdown Monitor) in Table VC.- 1. The original issue of this requirement (as a Technical Specification) in January 1986 stated the applicability was "At all times." Technical Specification Amendment 22 added "APPLICABILITY" to Table V.C.- 1 (then Tech Spec Table 3.3- ). The applicability added in Amendment 22 is the present wording.

'I K / 159 of 163
dated February 24, 1988, in the following sections discusses the change request and are quoted below:
" In "Discussion": "The proposed changes will now explicitly allow a monitor to be taken out of service for up to hours for maintenance/testing without entering the ACTION statement."
" In "Significant Hazards Consideration" item 1: "the proposed changes would only allow these radiation monitors to be out of service for a short period of time (12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />)."
" In "Significant Hazards Consideration" item 2: "The proposed changes also have no effect on alarm setpoints or control functions. Further, no operator actions that are required to mitigate any accident rely solely on these monitors, and these monitors provide no protective functions."
Technical Specification Amendment 22 provided for the following:
- allowance for planned inoperability of monitoring instrumentation for up to hours for the purpose of maintenance and performance of required test, check, calibration or sampling
" a requirement to initiate auxiliary sampling within hours after inoperability of certain gaseous effluent monitors
" allowance for inoperability of certain effluent monitoring instrumentation, during MODE 6 (refueling) when the effluent pathway is not being used.
Section V.C.2.- 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 Section II to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of SectionVD.2.a. 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 20 Part 50.
The sensitivity of any noble gas activity monitors used to show compliance with the gaseous effluent release requirements of Specification V.C.2.a shall be such that concentrations as low as 1 x 10-6 [tCi/cc are measurable.
The vent normal range radiation monitor, HVR*10B, satisfies the requirements of SectionVC.2. for Unit 3 releases to the vent which is located on the turbine 7 ~THINKACT 7 IMP-22-REC-BAPO1 STO * -EVIEW Rev. 025-02

building. There are no requirements in the REMODCM associated with the vent high range radiation monitor, HVR*10A.
The SLCRS normal range radiation monitor, HVR*19B, satisfies the requirements of SectionV.C.2. for Unit 3 releases to the Millstone Stack. There are no requirements in the REMODCM associated with the SLCRS high range radiation monitor, HVR*19A.
Section V.D.1.a. - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Concentrations This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site will be less than ten times the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2.
This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will result in exposures within: (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, to an individual and (2) the limits of 10 CFR 20.1301 to the population. The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its concentrations in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.
Section VD.I.b. - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Doses This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A.,
III.A., and IV.A. of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The specification 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 III.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The dose calculation methodology and parameters in Section II implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I is to be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The equations specified in Section II for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be 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.

Section V.D.2.a.- Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate This specification will ensure that the dose from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 for all areas offsite. The annual dose limits specified in this section are the dose limits from the version of 10 CFR Part 20 prior to 1994. Annual dose limit in the current version of 10CFR20 were reduced from 500 to 100 mrem. But REMODCM restrictions will not allow the current annual dose limit to be exceeded because the REMODCM requires termination, within fifteen minutes, of any release which exceed the setpoint and much lower annual dose limits from 10CFR50, Appendix I are implemented. For individuals who may, at times, be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of that individual will be usually be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the SITE BOUNDARY. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the whole body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid or any other organ dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year.
Section V.D.2.b. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Noble Gas Dose This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.B.,
III.A., and IV.A. of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The specification 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 VA. 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 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 an individual through the appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in Section II for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents will be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculational 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 Section II equations provided for determining the air doses at the site boundary are based upon utilizing successively more realistic dose calculational methodologies. More realistic dose calculational methods are used whenever simplified calculations indicate a dose approaching a substantial portion of the
regulatory limits. The methods used are, in order, previously determined air dose per released activity ratio, historical meteorological data and actual radionuclide mix released, or real time meteorology and actual radionuclides released.
Section VD.2.c. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents for Radionuclides Other Than Noble Gas These specifications are provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C., III.A., and IVA. of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The specifications are the guides 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 will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable."
The Section II calculational methods specified in the surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A. of Appendix I that conformance with the guides for Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The Section II 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, "Calculating of Annual Dose to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision I, 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 I, July 1977. The release rate specifications for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man. The pathways that are examined in the development of these calculations are: 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.
Section V.E. - Total Radiological Dose from Station Operations This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR 190. For the purpose of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other 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 5 miles must be considered.
