1.0 Liquid Effluents 1.1 Regulatory Requirements 1.1.1 ConcentrationLimits The concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited to ten times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 1E-04 microcuries/ml total activity.
1.1.2 Dose Limits The dose or dose commitment, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released from each unit to UNRESTRICTED AREAS, shall be limited:
- a. During any calendar quarter, to less than or equal to 1.5 mrems to the whole body and to less than or equal to 5 mrems to any organ, and
- b. During any calendar year, to less than or equal to 3 mrems to the whole body and to less than or equal to 10 mrems to any organ.
1.2 Effluent ConcentrationLimit ECL values used in determining allowable liquid radwaste release rates and concentrations, for principal gamma emitters, 1-131, tritium, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55, are taken from 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.
A tolerance factor of up to 10 is utilized to allow flexibility in establishing practical monitor set points which can accommodate effluent releases at concentrations higher than the ECL values stated in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.
For dissolved or entrained noble gases in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 1 E-04 uCi/mI total activity.
For gross alpha in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 2E-09 uCi/ml.
Furthermore, for all the above radionuclides, or categories of radioactivity, the overall ECL fraction is determined in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B.
The method utilizing the ECL fraction to determine liquid radwaste release rates and effluent radiation monitor set points is described in Subsection 1.3 of this report.

The method utilizing the ECL fraction to determine the dose released from groundwater outfalls is described in Subsection 1.4 of this report.
1.3 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivityfor Liquid Radwaste Prior to the release of any tank containing liquid radwaste, following the required recirculations, samples are collected and analyzed in accordance with the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Table 2-3.
A sample from each tank planned for release is analyzed for principal gamma emitters, 1-131, and dissolved and entrained noble gases, by gamma spectroscopy. Monthly and quarterly composites are prepared for analysis by extracting aliquots from each sample taken from the tanks released.
Liquid radwaste sample analyses are performed as described in Section 1.3.1.
1.3.1 Total RadioactivityDeterminationfor Liquid Radwaste MEASUREMENT FREQUENCY METHOD
- 1. Gamma Isotopic Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy with computerized data reduction.
- 2. Dissolved or entrained Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy noble gas with computerized data reduction.
- 3. Tritium Monthly Distillation and liquid Composite scintillation counting
- 4. Gross Alpha Monthly Gas flow proportional Composite counting
- 5. Sr-89 & Sr-90 Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and gas flow proportional or scintillation counting
- 6. Fe-55 Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and liquid scintillation counting 2
Gamma isotopic measurements are performed in-house using germanium detectors with a resolution of 2.0 keV or lower. The detectors are shielded by four inches of lead. A liquid radwaste sample is typically counted for 2000 seconds and a peak search of the resulting gamma ray spectrum is performed. Energy and net count data for all significant peaks are determined and a quantitative reduction or MDC calculation is performed to ensure that the MDC's are met for the nuclides specified in the ODCM Chapter 10 (i.e., Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141 and Ce-144). The quantitative calculations, corrections for counting time, decay time, sample volume, sample geometry, detector efficiency, baseline counts, branching ratio and MDC calculations, are made based on the counts at the location in the spectrum where the peak for that radionuclide would be located, if present. Typically achieved liquid effluent sample analyses minimum detectable concentrations are reported in Table 1-4.
Tritium, Gross Alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 are, in some cases, analyzed offsite.
The radionuclide concentrations determined by gamma spectroscopic analysis of samples taken from tanks planned for release, in addition to the most current sample analysis results available for tritium, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55, are used along with the corresponding ECL values to determine the ECL fraction for these tanks. This ECL fraction is then used, with the appropriate safety factors, tolerance factors, and the expected dilution stream flow to calculate maximum permissible release rate and a liquid effluent monitor setpoint. The monitor setpoint is calculated to assure that the limits of the ODCM are not exceeded.
A monitor reading in excess of the calculated setpoint will result in an automatic termination of the liquid radwaste discharge. Liquid effluent discharge is also automatically terminated if the dilution stream flow rate falls below the minimum assured dilution flow rate used in the setpoint calculations and established as a setpoint on the dilution stream flow monitor.
Radionuclide concentrations, safety factors, dilution stream flow rate, and the liquid effluent radiation monitor calibration factor, are entered into the computer and a pre-release printout is generated. If the release is not permissible, appropriate warnings will be displayed on the computer screen. If the release is permissible, it is approved by the Chemistry Foreman on duty. The pertinent information is transferred manually from the prerelease printout to a one-page release permit, which is forwarded to Radwaste Operations. When the release is completed, the release permit is returned from Radwaste Operations to Chemistry with the actual release data provided. These data are input into the computer and a post-release printout is generated. The post release printout contains the actual release rates, the actual release concentrations and quantities, the actual dilution flow, and the calculated doses to a Member of the Public.

1.4 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity for Groundwater Outfalls - Y22NO03A112B and Y22NO08A Samples are collected and analyzed in accordance with the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Table 2-3. Weekly, monthly and quarterly composites are prepared for analysis by extracting aliquots from each outfall's automatic sampler, which collects a composite sample over a seven-day period. Sample analyses are performed as described in Section 1.4.1.
1.4.1 Total Radioactivity Determinationfor GroundwaterOutfalls MEASUREMENT FREQUENCY METHOD
- 1. Gamma Isotopic Weekly Composite Gamma Spectroscopy with computerized data reduction.
- 2. Tritium Weekly Composite Distillation and liquid scintillation counting
- 3. Gross Beta* Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and gas flow proportional or scintillation counting
- 4. Sr-89 & Sr-90 ** Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and gas flow (as required) proportional or scintillation counting Gross Beta analysis is used for sample screening.
"**]
If the Gross Beta analysis yields a detectable value above background, a Sr-89/90 analysis will be performed.

Gamma isotopic measurements are performed in-house using germanium detectors with a resolution of 2.0 keV or lower. The detectors are shielded by four inches of lead. A weekly composite sample is typically counted to Environmental MDC's and a peak search of the resulting gamma ray spectrum is performed.
Energy and net count data for all significant peaks are determined and a quantitative reduction or MDC calculation is performed to ensure that the MDC's are met for the nuclides specified in the ODCM Chapter 10 (i.e., Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-1 37, Ce-141 and Ce-144). The quantitative calculations, corrections for counting time, decay time, sample volume, sample geometry, detector efficiency, baseline counts, branching ratio and MDC calculations, are made based on the counts at the location in the spectrum where the peak for that radionuclide would be located, if present.
Typically achieved liquid effluent sample analyses minimum detectable concentrations are reported in Table 1-4.
Tritium, Gross Beta, Sr-89 and Sr-90 are, in some cases, analyzed offsite.
The radionuclide concentrations determined by gamma spectroscopic analysis of the weekly composite sample, in addition to the most current sample analysis results available for tritium, gross beta, Sr-89 and Sr-90, are used along with the corresponding ECL values to determine the ECL fraction for these composite samples. This ECL fraction is then used, with the appropriate safety factors, tolerance factors, and the expected dilution stream flow to calculate projected dose released.
Radionuclide concentrations, safety factors and dilution stream flow rate are entered into the computer and a pre-release printout is generated for each release period. When the release period is complete, the release permit is updated with the actual release data collected during the release period. These data are input into the computer and a post-release printout is generated. The post release printout contains the actual release rates, the actual release concentrations and quantities, the actual dilution flow, and the calculated doses to a Member of the Public. Cumulative dose results are tabulated along with the percent of the ODCM limit for each release period, for the current quarter and year.
1.5 Total ErrorEstimation The maximum error associated with volume and flow measurements, based upon plant calibration practice, is estimated to be + or - 10%. The average error associated with counting is estimated to be less than + or - 15%. Therefore, the total error estimation is + or - 18%.

1.6 Liquid Effluent Release Data Regulatory Guide 1.21, Tables 2A and 2B are found in this report as Table 1-1A, for Unit 1, Table 1-1 B, for Unit 2 and Table 1-1C, for the site; and Table 1-2A, for Unit 1, 1-2B, for Unit 2, and Table 1-2C, for the site. Typical liquid minimum detectable concentrations (MDC's) used for analyses are found in Table 1-4.
The evaluation for the release of radioactive RHR Service Water for 2008 can be found in Appendix A of this report.
The values for the four categories of Tables 1-1A, and 1-1 B, and 1-1C, are calculated and the Tables completed as follows:
- 1. Fission and activation products - The total release values (not including tritium, gases, and alpha) are comprised of the sum of the measured individual radionuclide activities. This sum is for each batch released to the river for the respective quarter.
- 2. Tritium - The measured tritium concentrations in the monthly composite samples are used to calculate the total release and average diluted concentration during each period.
- 3. Dissolved and entrained gases - Concentrations of dissolved and entrained gases in liquid effluents are measured by germanium spectroscopy using a one liter sample from each liquid radwaste batch. The measured concentrations are used to calculate the total release and the average diluted concentration during the period. Radioisotopes of iodine in any form are also determined during the isotopic analysis for each batch; therefore, a separate analysis for possible gaseous forms is not performed because it would not provide additional information.
- 4. Gross alpha radioactivity - The measured gross alpha concentrations in the monthly composite samples are used to calculate the total release of alpha radioactivity.

2.2 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity Waste gas release at Plant Hatch is confined to four paths: main stack (also called the offgas vent), Unit 1 reactor building vent; Unit 2 reactor building vent, and the recombiner building vent. Each of these four paths is continuously monitored for gaseous radioactivity.
2.2.1 Sample Collection and Analysis Each of the four gaseous effluent paths is equipped with an integrating-type sample collection device for collecting particulates and iodines. Unless required more frequently under certain circumstances, samples are collected as follows:
- 1. Noble gas samples are collected by grab sampling monthly.
- 2. Tritium samples are collected by grab sampling monthly.
- 3. Radioiodine samples are collected by pulling the sample stream through a charcoal cartridge over a 7-day period.
- 4. Particulates are collected by pulling the sample stream through a particulate filter over a 7-day period.
- 5. The 7-day particulate filters above are analyzed for gross alpha activity.
- 6. Quarterly composite samples are prepared from the particulate filters collected over the previous quarter and the samples are analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90.
Sample analyses results and release flow rates from the four release points form the basis for calculating released quantities of radionuclide-specific radioactivity, the dose rates associated with gaseous releases, and the cumulative doses for the current quarter and year. This task is normally performed with computer assistance.
The noble gas grab sample analysis results are used along with maximum expected release flow rates from each of the four vents to calculate monitor setpoints for the gaseous effluent monitors serving the four release points.
Calculation of monitor setpoints is described in the ODCM. Typically achieved minimum detectable concentrations for gaseous effluents sample and analyses are reported in Table 2-6.
For each release period, released .radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are calculated. Cumulative dose results are tabulated along with the percent of the ODCM limit for each release, for the current quarter and year.
28
2.2.2 Total Quantities of Radioactivity,Dose Rates, and Cumulative Doses The methods for determining release quantities of radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses follow:
2.2.2.1 Fissionand Activation Gases The released radioactivity is determined using sample analyses results collected as described above and the average release flow rates over the period represented by the collected sample.
Dose rates due to noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates are calculated (with computer assistance). The calculated dose rates are compared to the dose rate limits specified in ODCM 3.1.2 for noble gases, radioiodine, tritium, and particulates. Dose rate calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.
Beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are calculated for the location in the unrestricted area with the potential for the highest exposure due to gaseous releases. Air doses are calculated for each release period and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the calendar quarter and year. Cumulative air doses are compared to the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.3. The current percent of the ODCM limits are shown on the printout for each release period. Air dose calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.
2.2.2.2 Radioiodine, Tritium and ParticulateReleases Released quantities of radioiodines are determined using the weekly samples and release flow rates for the four release points. Radioiodine concentrations are determined by gamma spectroscopy.
Release quantities of particulates are determined using the weekly (filter) samples and release flow rates for the four release points. Gamma spectroscopy is used to quantify concentrations of principal gamma emitters.
After each quarter, the particulate filters from each vent are combined, fused, and a strontium separation is performed. Since sample flows and vent flows are almost constant over each quarterly period the filters from each vent can be dissolved together. Decay corrections are performed back to the middle of the quarterly collection period. If Sr-89 or Sr-90 is not detected, MDC's are calculated.
Strontium concentrations are input into the composite file of the computer and used for release dose rate and dose calculations for a Member of the Public.
29
Tritium samples are obtained monthly from each vent by passing the sample stream through a cold trap. The grams of water vapor/cubic foot is measured upstream of the cold trap in order to alleviate the difficulties in determining water vapor collection efficiencies. The tritium samples are analyzed by an independent laboratory and the results are furnished in uCi/ml of water. The tritium concentration in water is converted to the tritium concentration in air and this value is input into the composite file of the computer and used in release, dose rate, and individual dose calculations.
Dose rates due to radioiodine, tritium and particulates are calculated for a hypothetical child exposed to the inhalation pathway at the location in the unrestricted area where the potential dose rate is expected to be the highest.
Dose rates are calculated, for each release point for each release period, and the dose rates from each release point are compared to the dose rate limits as described in ODCM 3.1.2 Doses due to radioiodine, tritium and particulates are calculated for the controlling receptor, which is described in the ODCM. Doses to a Member of the Public are calculated for each release period, and cumulative totals are kept for each unit, for the current calendar quarter and year. Cumulative doses are compared to the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.4. The current percent of ODCM limits are shown on the printout for each release period.
2.2.2.3 Gross Alpha Release The gross alpha release is computed each month by counting the particulate filters, for each week for gross alpha activity in a proportional counter. The four or five weeks' numbers are then recorded on a data sheet and the activity is summed at the end of the month. The summed activity is then divided by the total monthly volume to determine the concentration. This concentration is input into the composite file of the computer and used for release calculations.
2.2.3 Total ErrorEstimation The total or maximum error associated with the effluent measurement will include the cumulative errors resulting from the total process of sampling and measurement. Due to the difficulty with assigning error terms for each parameter affecting the final measurement, detailed statistical evaluation of error is not suggested. The objective is to obtain an overall estimate of the error associated with measurements of radioactive materials released in liquid and gaseous effluents and solid waste.
Estimated errors are associated with counting equipment calibration, counting statistics, vent-flow rates, vent sample flow rates, non steady release rates, chemical yield factors and sample losses for such items as charcoal cartridges.

2.3 Gaseous Effluent Release Data Regulatory Guide 1.21 Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C are found in this report as Tables 2-1A, 2-1B, 2-1C, 2-2A, ,2-2B, 2-2C, 2-3A, 2-3B, 2-3C. Data is presented on a quarterly basis as required by Regulatory Guide 1.21 for all quarters.
To complete table 2-1 A, 2-1 B, and 2-1C, total release for each of the four categories (fission and activation gases, iodines, particulates, and tritium) was divided by the number of seconds in the quarter to obtain a release rate in uCi/second for each category for each quarter. However, the percent of the ODCM limits are not applicable because we have no curie limits for gaseous releases. Applicable limits are expressed in terms of dose. Noble gases are limited as specified in ODCM 3.1.2. The other three categories (tritium, radioiodines, and particulates) are limited as a group as specified in ODCM 3.1.2.
Dose rates due to noble gas releases, and due to radioiodine, tritium, and particulates were calculated as part of the pre-release and post-release permits on individual permits. No limits were exceeded for this reporting period.

SOUTHERN COMPANY E. ILHATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS NO. 1 & 2 ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 1, 2008 - DECEMBER 31,2008 APPENDIX A 72
Release of Radioactive RHR Service Water for 2008 The following historical information is provided to create a perspective for the release of radioactivity during the year 2008 relative to the RHR Service Water System.
In 1996, the analysis of samples from the Unit 1 RHR "B" Loop service water (RHRSW) system identified several radionuclides at very low concentrations. The first indication of contamination was noted on August 8, 1996 and the second indication was noted on August 23, 1996. The total activity in the RHRSW contained within the heat exchanger, which has a volume of approximately 4000 gallons, was respectively estimated to be about 13.7 jICi and 25.6 I.Ci. On August 23, 1996 repairs were made to a Ap instrument in an effort to stop the inleakage into the service water side of the heat exchanger. To determine if the leak had been repaired, the service water loop of the heat exchanger was decontaminated by flushing and the service water in the loop was then resampled and analyzed. The circulating water flume has a blowdown line, which diverts a small portion of the total circulating water to the river via the discharge structure.
This resulted in a release to an unrestricted area. Though this release was both monitored and controlled, it was not through the normally utilized liquid radwaste system but the release to the unrestricted area did in fact take the same release path to the river. The regulatory discreteness of this release is discussed in the 1996 evaluation of the release, which is documented in the 10CFR50.59 Evaluation titled "Unit 1 RHR Service Water: Release of Contaminated Water."
The requirements of the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program are spelled out in TS 5.5.4.
The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) implements this program and it conforms to the requirements of 10CFR50.36a for the control of radioactive effluents and for maintaining the doses as low as reasonable achievable. Compliance with TS 5.5.4 regarding liquid releases can be assured by adhering to the requirements of ODCM sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 which respectively provide limits on the concentration of the radioactive material at the point of release to an unrestricted area, the resultant dose to a member of the public from the release, and the necessity of using the radwaste treatment system.
MWO 1-96-02845 was worked during the Unit 1 outage to repair the leaks in the Ul RHR "B" Heat Exchanger. The RHR side of the Heat Exchanger was pressurized with helium and a helium detector on the RHRSW side was used to look for the presence of leaks. Based on this it was determined that one of the outermost tubes (tube 1-1) was definitely leaking. No other tubes were identified as definite leakers; however, the eight tubes closest to tube 1-1 were identified as possible leakers.
Integrated Technologies, Inc. performed an eddy current inspection of 245 of the tubes, including all of the suspected leakers and surrounding tubes. This inspection also identified tube 1-1 as a leaker. The tube breach is located next to the top support in the outlet leg. The cause is unknown. No other leaking tubes were identified.
73
The conservative decision was made to plug the leaker as well as the eight surrounding tubes.
After plugging the tubes a hydrostatic pressure test was conducted at 300 psi and the Heat Exchanger was inspected for signs of leakage. No leakage was noted at this time. The Heat Exchanger was deconned, closed up and placed back in service. The Chemistry Department has sampled and monitored the activity during the operation of the Heat Exchanger.
The only concentrations of radionuclides found in the RHRSW samples for 2008 were from 3/9/08, when the total concentration released was 3.01 E-8 gCi/ml. As shown in the following table, the highest concentrations were found in 1997, when the total concentration released was 1.21 E-5 gCi/ml.

Heat exchanger testing and the analysis result indicate no new leaks to the system. The results of the samples analyzed in 2005 indicate we are monitoring residual contamination from the 1996 leaks.
ODCM section 2.1.2 requires that the concentrations of the radioactive materials released be limited to 10 times (1OX) the concentrations specified in 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, with the exception for dissolved or entrained noble gases whose concentration shall be limited to 1.OE-4 gCi/ml.
The following discussion is based on a release duration of 1 minute, a release volume of 4,000 gallons, a total dilution of only 10,000 gallons, and the radionuclide concentrations from 1997. This is a very conservative estimate, since credit for the additional dilution provided by the circulating water flume was not taken into consideration and the activity from 1997 was higher with more radionuclides. The sum of the ratios of the concentration of each radionuclide in the mixture to its effluent concentration limit (ECL) was 1.15. The sum of the ECL fractions must be less than ten (<10) to ensure that the concentration limit for the mixture is not exceeded. As can be seen, the sum is much less that ten. (10CFR20 Appendix B states that the sum of the fractions of the nuclides divided by their effluent concentration limits (ECLs) must be less than one. Further NRC guidance, Technical Specifications, and the ODCM allow the 74
ECLs in Appendix B to be increased by a factor of 10. Mathematically this can be achieved by dividing the nuclides by the original 1OCR 20 Appendix B ECLs and insuring that the sum of the fractions is less than 10. The plant software performs the sum of the ECL fractions and comparisons this way to insure compliance with 1OCRF20 limits.)
ODCM section 2.1.3 requires that the annual dose to a member of the public, in unrestricted areas, due to liquid releases from each unit be limited to 3 mrem to the total body and 10 mrem to any organ. The dose in any quarter is limited to half of the annual limits. Dose calculations were performed for this release, in accordance with ODCM section 2.4, to evaluate the doses relative to this release. The total body dose was 6.66 E-5 mrem (2.2 E-3 % of its annual limit) and the highest organ dose was 7.39 E-5 mrem to the GI-LLI, gastrointestinal track, (7.4 E-4 % of its annual limit). The resultant doses are quite low and essentially do not contribute to the quarterly and/or the annual dose limits. This provides a high degree of assurance that the release in no way presented a threat to the health and safety of a member of the public, even using the very low dilution rate. With a higher dilution value the ECL fraction and the resultant doses are reduced further and become even less significant.
ODCM section 2.1.4 requires that the radwaste system be employed to reduce the radioactivity in the liquid waste prior to its discharge whenever the projected dose due to the release would exceed 0.06 mrem to the total body and 0.2 mrem to any organ. As shown in the previous paragraph, the total body dose due to the release of the RHRSW was much less than 0.06 mrem and the maximum organ dose was much less than 0.2 mrem.
10CFR20.1302 (b)(1) requires that a licensee show compliance with the annual limit of 100 mrem to any member of the public by demonstrating that certain concentration limits of the effluent at the point of release are not exceeded. This was addressed above in the assessment of ODCM section 2.1.2.
10CFR20.1501 (a)(2)(ii) & (iii) requires the licensee to evaluate the concentration or quantities of radioactive materials and the potential radiological hazard, respectively. The concentrations and quantity of the radioactive materials in the release was evaluated by sampling and analysis as discussed above. The potential radiological hazard was also evaluated by performance of the dose calculations, which would be a result of the release, as discussed above in the assessment of ODCM section 2.1.3.
This release does not constitute a Licensee Event Report (LER) based on the following.
10CFR 50.73 (A)(2)(VIII)(B) requires the licensee to report any liquid effluent release which exceeds 20 times the applicable concentration specified in 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2, column 2, at the point of entry into the receiving waters (i.e., unrestricted area). This is justified as discussed above in the assessment of ODCM section 2.1.3; it can be seen that the concentrations are much less that the applicable limits.
Design Criterion 64 in Appendix A to 10CFR50 requires the monitoring of effluent discharge paths. Performance of the sampling and analysis of the RHRSW service water before its release complied with this criterion.
75
Compliance with Appendix I to 10CFR50 was assured by adherence to the applicable ODCM sections as discussed above. Furthermore, Appendix I is the bases for one of these ODCM sections.
40CFR1 90 is concerned with the annual dose to any member of the public due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from the uranium fuel cycle sources. This is addressed by TS 5.5.4.j and implemented by ODCM section 5.1.2, which states that additional calculation and reporting is required when any of the dose limits as specified in the ODCM sections 2.1.3, 3.1.3, or 3.1.4 are exceeded by a factor of two. This requirement is not applicable for the release based on the doses as discussed above in the assessment of ODCM section 2.1.3.
NRC Bulletin 80-10, "Contamination of Nonradioactive Systems and Resulting Potential for Unmonitored, Uncontrolled Releases of Radioactivity to the Environment" lists four actions for the licensee. First: identify the affected systems; the Unit 1 RHR "B" loop was identified.
Second: establish a sampling/analysis of monitoring program for the affected systems; this was done. Third: restrict use of the system until the cause of the contamination is identified and corrected, and the system is decontaminated. The release was the result of identifying the leakage, implementation of corrective action and of decontaminating the system. The third action also states, that, if it is considered necessary to continue operation of the system as contaminated, then a 10CFR50.59 evaluation must be performed. This was done in 1996. The fourth action calls attention to the regulations to be complied with and states that releases must be monitored and controlled. The release of the RHR service water was sampled and monitored (evaluated) by the sampling and analysis prior to the flush taking place; the release was controlled in the fact that the flush was a planned evolution.
Administrative controls and sampling have been established to ensure that any future releases would be within 10CFR20 limits, reference Lab Standing Order, SO-HPC-001-0402, and 64CH-SAM-028-0.

1.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS This section contains applicable ODCM limits for liquid effluents as well as the quantities of radioactive liquid effluents released during 2008. These quantities are summarized on a quarterly basis and include any unplanned releases. A tabulation of the total body and organ doses which were calculated in accordance with ODCM 2.4 are presented to show conformance with the limits of ODCM 2.1.3.
1.1 Regulatory Requirements 1.1.1 Concentration Limits Technical Specifications 5.5.4.b and 5.5.4.c state that the concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS (see ODCM Figure 10-1) shall be limited at all times to ten times the concentrations specified in 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 1.0E-04 uCi/ml total activity.
1.1.2 Dose Limits Technical Specifications 5.5.4.d and 5.5.4.e state that the dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released, from each unit, to UNRESTRICTED AREAS (see ODCM Figure 10-1) shall be limited:
- a. During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrem to the total body and to less than or equal to 5 mrem to any organ, and
- b. During any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mrem to the total body and to less than or equal to 10 mrem to any organ.
1.2 Effluent Concentration Limit (ECL)
ECL Values used in determining allowable liquid radwaste release rates and concentrations, for principal gamma emitters, 1-131, tritium, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55, are taken from 10CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. A tolerance factor of up to 10 is utilized to allow flexibility in establishing practical monitor setpoints which can accommodate effluent releases at concentrations higher than the ECL values stated in 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.
For dissolved or entrained noble gases in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 1.OE-04 uCi/ml total activity.
For gross alpha in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 2.OE-09 uCi/ml.
Furthermore, for all the above radionuclides, or categories of radioactivity, the overall ECL fraction is determined in accordance with 10CFR Part 20, Appendix B.
- 1 -
1.3 Measurements and Approximation of Total Radioactivity The radionuclides listed below are considered when evaluating liquid effluents:
MN-54 CS-134 FE-59 CS-137 CO-58 CE-141 CO-60 CE-144 ZN-65 MO-99 SR-89 FE-55 SR-90 H-3 1-131 1.3.1 Total Radioactivity Determination Batch Releases: Representative pre-release grab samples are obtained and analyzed in accordance with ODCM Table 2-3. Isotopic analyses are performed using the computerized pulse height analysis system utilizing high resolution germanium detectors. Isotopic values thus obtained are used for release rate calculations as specified in the ODCM. Only those nuclides that are detected are used in the calculations. All Strontium and Iron-55 samples are sent offsite to the Georgia Power Environmental Laboratory for analysis. Gross beta and gross alpha determinations are made using 2 pi gas flow proportional counters. Tritium determinations are made using liquid scintillation techniques. Dissolved gases are determined employing grab sampling techniques and then counting on the pulse height analyzer.
The sample analyses results are used along with the ECL values to determine the ECL fraction for the planned release. The ECL fraction is.
then used, with the appropriate safety factors, and the expected dilution stream flow, to calculate the maximum permissible release rate and a liquid effluent monitor setpoint. The monitor setpoint is calculated to assure that the limits of the ODCM are not exceeded. A monitor reading in excess of the calculated setpoint will result in automatic termination of the liquid radwaste discharge.
Radionuclide concentrations, safety factors, dilution stream flow rate, and liquid effluent radiation monitor calibration factors are used by the computer to generate a pre-release printout. If the release is not permissible, appropriate warnings will be displayed on the computer screen and on the printout. If the release is permissible, it is approved by a Chemistry Technician. The release permit is transferred from the Chemistry Department to the Operations Department for release.
When the release is completed, the actual release data are provided to the Chemistry Department. These release data, including release rate and release duration, are input into the computer and a post-release printout is generated. This printout contains the actual release rates, radionuclide concentrations and quantities, dilution flow, and calculated doses to an individual.
Continuous Releases: Continuous releases are analogous to batch releases except that they are analyzed on a weekly composite basis in accordance with ODCM Table 2-3.
Typically achieved liquid effluent sample analyses minimum detectable concentrations are reported in Table 1-4.
1.3.2 Total Error Estimation The maximum error associated with volume and flow measurements, based upon plant calibration practice is estimated to be + or - 10%. The average error associated with counting is estimated to be less than + or - 15%.
1.4 Liquid Effluent Release Data Summaries of all radioactive liquid effluents released from Units 1 and 2 during 2008 are presented in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.21 Tables 2A and 2B. Information required by Table 2A is found in this report in Tables 1-lA, 1-1B, and 1-1C; Table 2-B information is presented in Tables 1-2A, 1-2B, and 1-2C.

2.0 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS This section contains applicable ODCM limits for gaseous effluents as well as the quantities of radioactive gaseous effluents released during 2008. These quantities are summarized on a quarterly basis and include any unplanned releases. Tabulations are provided of the offsite air doses calculated in accordance with ODCM 3.4.2 to show conformance with the limits of ODCM 3.1.3, and the offsite organ doses to a member of the public calculated in accordance with ODCM 3.4.3 to show conformance with ODCM 3.1.4.
2.1 Regulatory Requirements The requirements presented in this section are for Unit 1 and Unit 2.
2.1.1 Dose Rate Limits The dose rates due to radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents from the site to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY shall be limited to the following:
- a. For noble gases: Less than or equal to 500 mrem/yr. to the whole body and less than or equal to 3000 mrem/yr. to the skin, and
- b. For Iodine-131, Iodine-133,tritium and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days: Less than or equal to 1500 mrem/yr. to any organ.
2.1.2 Air Doses Due to Noble Gases in Gaseous Releases Technical Specifications 5.5.4.e and 5.5.4.h state that the air dose due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents, from each reactor unit, to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY (see ODCM Figure 10-1) shall be limited to the following:
- a. During any calendar quarter: Less than or equal to 5 mrad for gamma radiation and less than or equal to 10 mrad for beta radiation, and
- b. During any calendar year: Less than or equal to 10 mrad for gamma radiation and less than or equal to 20 mrad for beta radiation.
2.1.3 Doses to a Member of the Public Technical Specifications 5.5.4.e and 5.5.4.i state that the dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from 1-131, 1-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days in gaseous effluents released, from each reactor unit, to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY (see ODCM Figure 10-1) shall be limited to the following:
- a. During any calendar quarter: Less than or equal to 7.5 mrem to any organ, and
- b. During any calendar year: Less than or equal to 15 mrem to any organ.
2.2 Measurements and Approximation of Total Radioactivity The following noble gases are considered in evaluating gaseous effluents:
KR-87 XE-133 KR-88 XE-135 XE-133M XE-138 The following radioiodines and radioactive materials in particulate form are specifically considered in evaluating gaseous effluents:
MN-54 MO-99 FE-59 1-131 CO-58 CS-134 CO-60 CS-137 ZN-65 CE- 141 SR-89 CE-144 SR-90 H-3
- 27 -
2.2.1 Sample collection and Analysis Periodic grab samples from plant effluent streams are analyzed by a computerized pulse height analyzer system utilizing high resolution germanium detectors. Samples are obtained and analyzed in accordance with ODCM Table 3-3. Isotopic values thus obtained are used for release rate calculations as specified in ODCM 3.4.2 and ODCM 3.4.3. Only those nuclides which are detected are used in calculations. For radioiodines and particulates, in addition to the nuclides listed above other nuclides with half-lives greater than 8 days which are identified are also considered.
Continuous Releases: Continuous sampling is performed on the continuous release points (i.e. the Plant Vent Stack, Containment Purge when in continuous mode, and the Turbine Building Vent). Particulate material is collected by filtration. Periodically these filters are removed and analyzed on the pulse height analyzer to identify and quantify radioactive materials collected on the filters. Particulate filters are then analyzed for gross alpha and strontium as required. All gross alpha, Sr-89 and SR-90 samples are sent offsite to the Georgia Power Environmental Laboratory for analysis.
Batch Releases: The processing of batch type releases (from Containment when in batch mode, or Waste Gas Decay Tanks) is analogous to continuous releases, except that the release is not commenced until samples have been obtained and analyzed. Containment Purge batch releases were commenced at FNP in 2006 in order to take advantage of additional decay time for short lived radionuclides.
Typically achieved minimum detectable concentrations for gaseous effluent sample analyses are reported in Table 2-6.
2.2.2 Total Quantities of Radioactivity, Dose Rates, and Cumulative Doses The methods for determining release quantities of radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses follow:
2.2.2.1 Fission and Activation Gases The released radioactivity is determined using sample analyses results collected as described in section 2.2.1 andthe average release flow rates over the period represented by the collected sample.
Dose rates due to noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates are calculated (with computer assistance). The calculated dose rates are compared to the dose rate limits specified in ODCM 3.1.2 for noble gases, radioiodine, tritium, and particulates. Dose rate calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.
- 28 -
Beta and gamma air'doses due to noble gases are calculated for the location in the unrestricted area with the potential for the highest exposure due to gaseous releases. Air doses are calculated for each release period and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the calendar quarter and year.
Cumulative air doses are compared to the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.3. The current percent of the ODCM limits are shown on the printout for each release period. Air dose calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.
2.2.2.2 Radioiodine, Tritium, and Particulate Releases Released quantities of radioiodines are determined using the weekly samples and release flow rates for the applicable release points. Radioiodine concentrations are determined by gamma spectroscopy.
Release quantities of particulates are determined using the weekly (filter) samples and release flow rates for the applicable release points. Gamma spectroscopy is used to quantify the concentrations of principal gamma emitters.
After each quarter, the particulate filters from each applicable vent (plant vent stack and containment purge) are combined, fused, and a strontium separation is performed. Since sample flows and vent flows are almost constant over each quarterly period the filters from each vent can be dissolved together.
Decay corrections are performed back to the middle of the quarterly collection period. If Sr-89 or Sr-90 is not detected, MDC's are calculated. Strontium concentrations are input into the composite file of the computer and used for release dose rate and individual dose calculations.
Tritium samples are obtained monthly from the Plant Vent Stack, the Containment Purge when in batch mode, and the Turbine Building Vent (and weekly for Containment Purge when in continuous mode) by passing the sample stream through a cold trap or by using the bubble method. The grams of water vapor/cubic meter is measured upstream of the cold trap in order to alleviate the difficulties in determining water vapor collection efficiencies. The tritium samples are analyzed onsite and the results furnished in uCi/ml of water. The tritium concentration in water is converted to the tritium concentration in air and this value is input into the composite file of the computer and used in release, dose rate,and individual dose calculations.
Dose rates due to radioiodine, tritium and particulates are calculated for a hypothetical child exposed to the inhalation pathway at the location in the unrestricted area where the potential dose rate is expected to be the highest. Dose rates are calculated, for each release point for each release period, and the dose rates from each release point is compared to the dose rate limits specified in ODCM 3.1.2, allocated for each release point as described in ODCM 3.3.2.
Doses to a Member of the Public (individual doses) due to radioiodine, tritium and particulates are calculated for the controlling receptor, which is described in the ODCM. Individual doses are calculated for each release period, and cumulative totals are kept for each unit, for the current calendar quarter and year. Cumulative individual doses are compared to the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.4. The current percent of ODCM limits are shown on the printout for each release period.
2.2.2.3 Gross Alpha Release The gross alpha release is computed each month by counting the particulate filters, for each week for gross alpha activity in a proportional counter. The highest concentration calculated for any of these weeks is used for the monthly value. This value is input into the composite file of the computer and used for release calculations.
2.2.3 Total Error Estimation The maximum errors associated with monitor readings, sample flow, vent flow, sample collection, monitor calibration and laboratory procedure are collectively estimated to be:
Fission and Activation Gases Iodine Particulates Tritium 75% 60% 50% 45%
The average error associated with counting is estimated to be:
Fission and Activation Gases Iodine Particulates Tritium 19% 28% 20% 8%

2.3 Gaseous Effluent Release Data Regulatory Guide 1.21 Tables 1A, lB and 1C are found in this report as Tables 2-1A, 2-1B, 2-1C, 2-2A, 2-2B, 2-2C, 2-3A, 2-3B, and 2-3C. Data'are presented on a quarterly basis as required by Regulatory Guide 1.21.
To complete Tables 2-1A and 2-1B, the total release for each of the four categories (fission and activation gases, radioiodines, particulates and tritium) was divided by the number of seconds in the quarter to obtain a release rate in uCi/second for each category. However, the percent of the ODCM limits are not applicable because FNP has no curie limit for gaseous releases. Applicable limits are expressed in terms of dose. Noble gases are limited as specified in ODCM 3.1.2. The other three categories (tritium, radioiodines, and particulates) are limited as a group as specified in ODCM 3.1.2.
Dose rates due to noble gas releases and due to radioiodines, tritium and particulate releases were calculated as part of the pre-release and post-release permits. No limits were exceeded for this reporting period.
Gross alpha radioactivity is reported in Tables 2-1A, 2-1B and 2-1C as curies released in each quarter.
Limits for cumulative beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are presented in Tables 2-4A and 2-4B along with the percent of ODCM limits.
Limits for cumulative doses to an individual due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates are specified in ODCM 3.1.4. Cumulative individual doses are presented in Tables 2-5A and 2-5B along with percent of ODCM limits.
2.4 Radiological Impact Due to Gaseous Releases The air doses due to noble gases and doses to a Member of the Public due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates in gaseous effluents for Units 1 and 2 are provided in the following tables in order to show conformance with the limits of ODCM 3.1.3 and ODCM 3.1.4:

1.0 Liquid Effluents 1.1 Regulatory Requirements 1.1.1 Concentration Limits In accordance with Technical Specification 5.5.4.b, the concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited at all times to ten times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 1 E-04 gCi/mI total activity.
1.1.2 Dose Limits The dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released, from each unit, to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited as follows:
- a. During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrems to the whole body and to less than or equal to 5 mrems to any organ, and
- b. During any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mrems to the whole body and to less than or equal to 10 mrems to any organ.
1.2 Effluent Concentration Limit (ECL)
ECL values used for determining the allowable liquid radwaste release rates and concentrations for the principal gamma emitters, l'-131, tritium, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 are taken from 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. A tolerance factor of up to 10 is utilized to allow flexibility in establishing practical monitor set points which can accommodate effluent releases at concentrations higher than the ECL values stated in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.
For dissolved or entrained noble gases in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 1E-04 gCi/ml total activity.
For gross alpha in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 2 E-09 gCi/ml.
For all the above radionuclides or categories of radioactivity, the overall ECL fraction is determined in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B. The method utilizing the ECL fraction to determine release rates and liquid radwaste effluent radiation monitor set points is described in Subsection 1.3 of this report.

1.3 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity 1.3.1 Total Radioactivity Determination Prior to the release of any tank containing liquid radwaste, and following the required recirculation, samples are collected and analyzed in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Table 2-3 "Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program". A sample from each tank which is planned for release is analyzed for principal gamma emitters, 1-131, and dissolved and entrained noble gases by gamma spectroscopy. Monthly and quarterly composites are prepared for analysis by extracting aliquots from each sample taken from the tanks, which are released. Liquid radwaste sample analyses are performed as follows:
MEASUREMENT FREQUENCY METHOD
- 1. Gamma Isotopic Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy with computerized data reduction.
- 2. Dissolved or entrained Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy noble gases with computerized data reduction
- 3. Tritium Monthly Distillation and Composite liquid scintillation counting
- 4. Gross Alpha Monthly Gas flow proportional Composite counting
- 5. Sr-89 & Sr-90 Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and gas flow proportional or scintillation counting
- 6. Fe-55 Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and liquid scintillation counting Page 10 of 76
1.3.1 Total Radioactivity Determination cont'd Gamma isotopic measurements are performed using germanium detectors with a resolution of 2.1 keV or lower. A peak search of the resulting gamma ray spectrum is performed by the computer system. Energy and net count data for all significant peaks are determined, and a quantitative reduction or MDC calculation is performed. This ensures that the MDC's are met for the nuclides specified in ODCM Chapter 10 (i.e., Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-1 34, Cs-1 37, Ce-141 and Ce-144). The quantitative calculations, corrections for counting time, decay time, sample volume, sample geometry, detector efficiency, baseline counts, branching ratio and MDC calculations, are made based on the counts at the location in the spectrum where the peak for that radionuclide would be located, if present.
Tritium, Gross Alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 are, in some cases, analyzed offsite.
ECL fraction is determined using radionuclide concentrations of a tank planned for release, the most current results available for tritium, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 and the corresponding ECL values.
This ECL fraction is used, with appropriate safety factors, tolerance factors, and the minimum assured dilution stream flow to calculate maximum permissible release rates and a liquid effluent monitor setpoint. The monitor setpoint is calculated to assure that the limits of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) are not exceeded.
A monitor reading in excess of the calculated setpoint results in an automatic termination of the liquid radwaste discharge. Liquid effluent discharge is also automatically terminated ifthe dilution stream flow rate falls below the minimum assured dilution flow rate used in the setpoint calculations and established as a setpoint on the dilution stream flow monitor.
Radionuclide concentrations, safety factors, dilution stream flow rate, and liquid effluent radiation monitor calibrations are entered into the computer and a pre-release printout is generated. Ifthe release is not permissible, appropriate warnings will be displayed on the computer screen. Ifthe release is permissible, it is approved by the Chemistry Department and sent to the Operations Department for approval and release. When the release is completed, the necessary data from the release (i.e., release volume, etc.) are provided by the Operations Department to the Chemistry Department. These data are input to the computer and a post-release printout is generated. The post release printout contains the actual release rates, release concentrations and quantities, actual dilution flow, and calculated doses to an individual.
Typically achieved liquid effluent sample analyses minimum detectable concentrations are reported in Table 1-4.

1.3.2 Total Error Estimation The total or maximum error associated with the effluent measurement includes the cumulative errors resulting from the total operation of sampling and measurement. Because it may be very difficult to assign error terms for each parameter affecting the final measurement, detailed statistical evaluation of error is not suggested. The objective should be to obtain an overall estimate of the error associated with measurements of radioactive materials released in liquid effluents.

2.2 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity 2.2.1 Sample Collection and Analysis Gaseous Effluents at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant are currently confined to six paths: plant vents (Unit 1 and Unit 2), the condenser air ejector, the steam packing exhauster systems (Unit 1 and Unit 2), Radwaste Processing Facility and the DAW (Dry Active Waste Building).
Waste gas decay tanks are batch released through the Unit 1 plant vent. The containment purges are released through their respective plant vents.
Containment atmosphere is also released via the containment equipment hatch during periods when the equipment hatch is open with containment purge/vent being stopped. Approval was granted by the NRC to open the equipment hatch during fuel movement; a release permit is generated when the equipment hatch is opened and the containment exhaust fan is not discharging to the plant vent.
Any detected activity in the containment equipment hatch permit is included in the Ground Release Table of the effluent report.
All of the paths with the exception of the DAW and RPF can be continuously monitored for gaseous radioactivity. The RPF is equipped with an integrated-type sample collection device for collecting particulates. Plant vent, containment, steam jet air ejector, steam-packing exhauster are equipped with an integrated-type sample collection device for collecting particulates and iodines. Samples of the DAW are collected using portable monitoring equipment during periods of operation. During this reporting period, there were no continuous radioactive releases through the condenser air ejector and the steam packing exhauster system vents. There were no releases from the DAW. Batch Waste Gas Decay Tank releases are analyzed for noble gases before each release. The containment atmosphere is analyzed for noble gases prior to each release and for tritium at least on a monthly basis.
Sample analyses results and release flow rates form the basis for calculating released quantities of radionuclide specific radioactivity, dose rates associated with gaseous releases, and cumulative doses for the current quarter and year.
With each release period and batch release, radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are calculated. Cumulative dose results are tabulated, along with the percent of the ODCM limits for each release for the current quarter and year.
Typically achieved minimum detectable concentrations for gaseous effluent sample analyses are reported in Table 2-6.
Page 34 of 76
2.2.2 Total Quantities of Radioactivity, Dose Rates, and Cumulative Doses The methods for determining release quantities of radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are as follows:
2.2.2.1 Fission and Activation Gases The released radioactivity is determined from sample analyses results collected as described above and average release flow rates over the period represented by the collected sample. Dose rates due to noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates are calculated. Calculated dose rates are compared to the dose rate limits specified in ODCM 3.1.2 for noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates. Dose rate calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.
Beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are calculated for the location in the unrestricted area with the potential for the highest exposure due to gaseous releases. Air doses are calculated for each release period and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the calendar quarter and year. Cumulative air doses are compared with the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.3. Current percent of the ODCM limits are shown on the printout for each release period. Air dose calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.
2.2.2.2 Radioiodines, Tritium and Particulate Releases The released quantities of radioiodines, tritium and particulates are determined using the weekly samples and release flow rates for the two plant vent release points.
After each quarter, the particulate filters from each plant vent are combined, for strontium analysis. Strontium concentrations are input to the composite file of the computer to be used for release dose rate and individual dose calculations.
Doses to a Member of the Public due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates are calculated for the controlling receptor, which is described in Table 3-7of the ODCM. Doses are calculated for each release period, and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the current calendar quarter and year. Cumulative doses are compared to the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.4.
Current percent of ODCM limits are shown in this report for each release period.
2.2.2.3 Gross Alpha Release The gross alpha release is calculated each month by counting the particulate filters for each week for gross alpha activity. The four or five weeks' numbers are then recorded on a data sheet and the activity is summed at the end of the month. This concentration is used for release calculations.
Page 35 of 76
2.2.3 Total Error Estimation The total or maximum error associated with the effluent measurement will include the cumulative errors resulting from the total operation of sampling and measurement. Because it may be very difficult to assign error terms for each parameter affecting the final measurement, detailed statistical evaluation of error are not suggested.
The objective should be to obtain an overall estimate of the error associated with measurements of radioactive materials released in liquid and gaseous effluents and solid waste.
Estimated errors are based on errors in counting equipment calibration, counting statistics, vent-flow rates, vent sample flow rates, non-steady release rates, chemical yield factors, and sample losses for such items as charcoal cartridges.

2.3 Gaseous Effluent Release Data Regulatory Guide 1.21 Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C are found in this report as Tables 2-1A, 2-1B, 2-1C, 2-2A, 2-2B, 2-2C, 2-3A, 2-3B, and 2-3C. Data are presented on a quarterly basis as required by Regulatory Guide 1.21.
To complete table 2-1A, and 2-1 B, the total release for each of the four categories (fission and activation gases, iodines, particulates, and tritium) was divided by the number of seconds in the quarter to obtain a release rate in gCi/second for each category. However, the percent of the ODCM limits are not applicable because VEGP has no curie limits for gaseous releases. Applicable limits are expressed in terms of dose. Noble gases are limited as specified in ODCM 3.1.2. The other three categories (tritium, radioiodines, and particulates) are limited as a group as specified in ODCM 3.1.2.
Dose rates due to noble gas releases and due to radioiodines, tritium, and particulate releases were calculated as part of the pre-release and post-release permits. No limits were exceeded for this reporting period.
Gross alpha radioactivity is reported in Table 2-1 A, and 2-1 B as curies released in each quarter.
Limits for cumulative beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are specified in ODCM 3.1.3. Cumulative air doses are presented in Table 2-4A, and 2-4B along with the percent of the ODCM limits.
Page 37 of 76
Limits for cumulative doses to a Member of the Public due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates, are specified in ODCM 3.1.4. Cumulative doses to a Member of the Public are presented in Table 2-5A, and 2-5B along with percent of ODCM limits.
2.4 Radiological Impact Due to Gaseous Releases Dose rates due to the release of noble gases were calculated for the site in accordance with ODCM 3.4.1.1. Dose rates due to radioiodines, tritium, and particulates in gaseous releases were calculated in accordance with ODCM 3.4.1.2.
Dose rates were calculated as part of pre-release and post release permits, no limits were exceeded for this reporting period.
