- l. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION/ODCM LIMITS A) FISSION AND ACTIVATION GASES
- 1. The dose rate limit of noble gases released in gaseous effluents from the site to areas at or beyond the site boundary shall be less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the whole body and less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin.
- 2. The air dose from noble gases released in gaseous effluents from Nine Mile Point Unit 2 to areas at or beyond the site boundary shall be limited during any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 5 mrad for gamma radiation and less than or equal to 10 mrad for beta radiation, and during any calendar year to less than or equal to 10 mrad for gamma radiation and less than or equal to 20 mrad for beta radiation.
B&C) TRITIUM, IODINES AND PARTICULATES, HALF LIVES > 8 DAYS
- 1. The dose rate limit of Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days, released in gaseous effluents from the site to areas at or beyond the site boundary shall be less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year to any organ.
- 2. The dose to a member of the public from Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days in gaseous effluents released from Nine Mile Point Unit 2 to areas at or beyond the site boundary shall be limited during any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 7.5 mrem to any organ and, during any calendar year to less than or equal to 15 mrem to any organ.
D) LIQUID EFFLUENTS
- 1. Improved Technical Specifications (ITS) limits the concentration of radioactive material released in the liquid effluents to unrestricted areas to ten times the concentrations specified in 10CFR20.1001-20.2402, 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 2E-04 microcuries/ml total activity.
- 2. The dose or dose commitment to a member of the public from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released from Nine Mile Point Unit 2 to unrestricted areas shall be limited during any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrem to the whole body and to less than or equal to 5 mrem to any organ, and during any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mrem to the whole body and to less than or equal to 10 mrem to any organ.

- 2. MEASUREMENTS AND APPROXIMATIONS OF TOTAL RADIOACTIVITY Described below are the methods used to measure or approximate the total radioactivity and radionuclide composition in effluents.
A) FISSION AND ACTIVATION GASES Noble gas effluent activity is determined by on-line gamma spectroscopic monitoring (intrinsic germanium crystal) of an isokinetic sample stream.
B) IODINES Iodine effluent activity is determined by gamma spectroscopic analysis (at least weekly) of charcoal cartridges sampled from an isokinetic sample stream.
C) PARTICULATES Activity released from the main stack and the combined Radwaste/Reactor Building vent is determined by gamma spectroscopic analysis (at least weekly) of particulate filters sampled from an isokinetic sample stream and composite analysis of the filters for non-gamma emitters.
D) TRITIUM Tritium effluent activity is measured by liquid scintillation or gas proportional counting of monthly.
samples taken with an air sparging/water trap apparatus.
E) LIQUID EFFLUENTS Isotopic contents of liquid effluents are determined by isotopic analysis of a representative sample of each batch and composite analysis of non-gamma emitters.
F) SOLID EFFLUENTS Isotopic contents of waste shipments are determined by gamma spectroscopy analyses of a representative sample of each batch. Scaling factors established from primary composite sample analyses conducted off-site are applied, where appropriate, to find estimated concentration of non-gamma emitters. For low activity trash shipments, curie content is estimated by dose rate measurement and application of appropriate scaling factors.

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM (PCP)
The Unit 2 Radwaste Process Control Program (RPCP) Revision 07 was implemented in June 2008. The Revision reflects the implementation of a condensate "prefilter" filtration system upstream of the deep bed condensate demineralizers and an associated change in the use, operation and naming of the Evaporator Bottoms Tank and Pump. The affect on the RPCP is the addition of a new generation source (the Iron Prefilter System) for both Liquid and Solid waste. The RPCP changes do not reduce the overall conformance of a solidified waste product to existing criteria for solid waste. A copy of the RPCP, Revision 07 is attached and a summary of the changes presented to and approved by the Plant Operations Review Committee on June 18, 2008 is provided below.

Attachment 10 Page I of 3 Unit 1 Unit 2 X Reporting Period January - December 2008 DOSES TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DUE TO THEIR ACTIVITIES INSIDE THE SITE BOUNDARY Introduction An assessment of the radiation dose potentially received by a Member of the Public due to their activities inside the site boundary from Nine Mile Point Unit 2 (NMP2) liquid and gaseous effluents has been conducted for the period January through December 2008.
This assessment considers the maximum exposed individual and the various exposure pathways resulting from liquid and gaseous effluents to identify the maximum dose received by a Member of the Public during their activities within the site boundary.
Prior to September 11, 2001, the public had access to the Energy Information Center for purposes of observing the educational displays or for picnicking and associated activities. Fishing also occurred near the shoreline adjacent to the NMP. Fishing near the shoreline adjacent to the NMP Site was the onsite activity that resulted in the potential maximum dose received by a Member of the Public. Following September 11, 2001 public access to the Energy Information Center has been restricted and fishing by Members of the Public at locations on site is also prohibited. Although fishing was not conducted during 2008 the annual dose to a hypothetical fisherman was still evaluated to provide continuity of data for the location.
Dose Pathways Dose pathways considered for this evaluation included direct radiation, inhalation and external ground (shoreline sediment or soil doses). Other pathways, such as ingestion pathways, are not considered because they are either not applicable, insignificant, or are considered as part of the evaluation of the total dose to a member of the public located off-site. In addition, only releases from the NMP2 stack and vent were evaluated for the inhalation pathway. Dose due to aquatic pathways such as liquid effluents is not applicable since swimming is prohibited at the Nine Mile Point Site.
Dose to a hypothetical fisherman is received through the following pathways while standing on the shoreline fishing:
" External ground pathway; this dose is received from plant related radionuclides detected in the shoreline sediment.
" Inhalation pathway; this dose is received through inhalation of gaseous effluents released from NMP2 Stack and Vent.
" Direct radiation pathway; dose resulting from the operation of NMP2, Nine Mile Point Unit 1 (NMP1) and the James A.
Fitzpatrick (JAF) Facilities.
Methodologies for Determining Dose for Applicable Pathways External Ground (Shoreline Sediment) pathway Dose from the external ground (shoreline sediment) is based on the methodology in the Unit 2 Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (NMP2 ODCM) as adapted from Regulatory Guide 1.109. For this evaluation it is assumed that the hypothetical maximum exposed individual fished from the shoreline at all times.
- The total dose received by the whole body and skin of the maximum exposed individual during 2008 was calculated using the following input parameters: Usage Factor 312 hours0.00361 days <br />0.0867 hours <br />5.15873e-4 weeks <br />1.18716e-4 months <br /> (fishing 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> per week, 39 weeks per year)
- Density in grams per square meter = 40,000
- Shore width factor = 0.3
- Whole body and skin dose factor for each radionuclide = Regulatory Guide 1.109, Table E-6.
- Fractional portion of the year = 1 (used average radionuclide concentration over total time period)
- Average Cs-137 concentration = 1.57 E-01 pdi/g The total whole body and skin doses received by a hypothetical maximum exposed fisherman from the external ground pathway is presented in Table 1, Exposure Pathway Annual Dose.
Attachment 10 Page 2 of 3 Unit 1 Unit 2 X Reporting Period January - December 2008 DOSES TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DUE TO THEIR ACTIVITIES INSIDE THE SITE BOUNDARY Inhalation Pathway The inhalation dose pathway is evaluated by utilizing the inhalation equation in the NMP2 ODCM, as adapted from Regulatory Guide 1.109. The total whole body dose and organ dose received by the hypothetical maximum exposed fisherman during 2008 is calculated using the following input parameters for gaseous effluents released from both the NMP2 Stack and Vent for the time period exposure is received:

Therefore, the Average Stack and Vent flow rates and radionuclide concentrations used to determine the dose are represented by second, third and fourth quarter gaseous effluent flow and concentration values.
The total whole body dose and maximum organ dose received by the hypothetical maximum exposed fisherman is presented in Table 1, Exposure Pathway Annual Dose.
Attachment 10 Page 3 of 3 Unit 1 Unit 2 X Reporting Period January - December 2008 DOSES TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DUE TO THEIR ACTIVITIES INSIDE THE SITE BOUNDARY Direct Radiation Pathway The direct radiation pathway is evaluated in accordance with the methodology found in the NMP2 ODCM. This pathway considers four components: direct radiation from the generating facilities, direct radiation from any possible overhead plume, direct radiation from ground deposition and direct radiation from plume submersion. The direct radiation pathway is evaluated by the use of high sensitivity environmental Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs). Since fishing activities occur between April 1
- December 31, TLD data for the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2008 from TLDs placed in the general area where fishing once occurred were used to determine an average dose to the hypothetical maximum exposed fisherman from direct radiation. The following is a summary of the average dose rate and assumed time spent on site used to determine the total dose received:

Attachment 11 Page 1 of 2 Unit 1 - Unit 2 X Reporting Period January - December 2008 DOSES TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DUE TO THEIR ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE THE SITE BOUNDARY Introduction An assessment of radiation doses potentially received by the likely most exposed member of the public located beyond the site boundary was conducted for the period January through December 2008 for comparison against the 40CFR190 annual dose limits.
The intent of 40 CFR 190 requires that the effluents of Nine Mile Point Unit 2 (NMP2), as well as other nearby uranium fuel cycle facilities, be considered. In this case, the effluents of NMP2, Nine Mile Point Unit 1 (NMP1) and the James A. FitzPatrick (JAF) facilities must be considered.
40CFR190 requires the annual radiation dose received by members of the public in the general environment, as a result of plant operations, be limited to:
S< 25 mRem wholebody S< 25 mRem any organ (except thyroid)
S< 75 mRem thyroid This evaluation compares doses resulting from Liquid and Gaseous effluents and direct radiation originating from the site as a result of the operation of the NMP2, NMP1 and JAF nuclear facilities.
Dose Pathways Dose pathways considered for this evaluation included doses resulting from liquid effluents, gaseous effluents and direct radiation from all nuclear operating facilities located on the Nine Mile Point Site.
Dose to the most likely member of the public, outside the site boundary, is received through the following pathways:
- *Fish consumption pathway; this dose is received from plant radionuclides that have concentrated in fish that is consumed by a member of the public.
- Shoreline Sediment; this dose is received as a result of an individual's exposure to plant radionuclides deposited in the shoreline sediment, which is used as a recreational area.
- Deposition, Inhalation and Ingestion pathways resulting from gaseous effluents; this dose is received through exposure to gaseous effluents released from NMP1, NMP2 and JAF operating facilities.
- Direct Radiation pathway; radiation dose resulting from the operation ofNMP1, NMP2 and JAF facilities.
Methodologies for Determining Dose for Applicable Pathways Fish Consumotion Dose received as a result of fish consumption is based on the methodology specified in the NMP2 Off-site Dose Calculation Manual (NMP2 ODCM) as adapted from Regulatory Guide 1.109. The dose for 2008 is calculated from actual analysis results of environmental fish samples taken near the site discharge points. For this evaluation it is assumed that the most likely exposed member of the public consumes fish taken near the site discharge points.
No radionuclides were detected in fish samples collected and analyzed during 2008; therefore no dose was received by the whole body and organs of the likely most exposed Member of the Public during 2008.
Shoreline Sediment Dose received from shoreline sediment is based on the methodology in the NMP2 ODCM as adapted from Regulatory Guide 1.109. For this evaluation it is assumed that the most likely exposed member of the public spends 67 hour7.75463e-4 days <br />0.0186 hours <br />1.107804e-4 weeks <br />2.54935e-5 months <br />s/year along the shoreline for recreational purposes.
Attachment 11 Page 2 of 2 Unit 1 Unit 2 X Reporting Period January - December 2008 DOSES TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DUE TO THEIR ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE THE SITE BOUNDARY Shoreline Sediment continued:
No radionuclides were detected in shoreline sediment samples collected and analyzed during 2008;' therefore no dose was received by the whole body and organs of the likely most exposed Member of the Public during 2008.
Dose Pathways Resultina From Gaseous Effluents Dose received by the likely most exposed member of the public due to gaseous effluents is calculated in accordance with the methodology provided in the NMP2 ODCM, NMPI Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, and the JAF Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. These calculations consider deposition, inhalation and ingestion pathways. The total sum of doses resulting from gaseous effluents from NMPI, NMP2 and JAF during 2008 provide a total dose to the whole body and maximum organ dose for this pathway.
Direct Radiation Pathway Dose as a result of direct gamma radiation from the site, encompasses doses from direct "shine" from the generating facilities, direct radiation from any overhead gaseous plumes, plume submersion and from ground deposition. This total dose is measured by environmental TLDs. The critical location is based on the closest year-round residence from the generating facilities as well as the closest residence in the critical downwind sector in order to evaluate both direct radiation from the generating facilities and gaseous plumes as determined by the local meteorology. During 2008, the closest residence and the critical downwind residence are at the same location.

Fish Consumption Total Whole Body No Dose Total Maximum Organ No Dose Shoreline Sediment Total Whole Body No Dose Total Skin of Whole Body No Dose Gaseous Effluents Total Whole Body 8.18 E-03 Total Maximum Organ Thyroid: 1.08 E-01 Direct Radiation Total Whole Body 0.48 Based on these values the maximum total annual dose potentially received by the most likely exposed member of the public during 2008 is as follows:
" Total Whole Body: 4.92 E-01 mRem
- Total Skin of Whole Body: 4.90E-03 mRem
" Maximum Organ: Thyroid: 1.08 E-01 mRem 40CFR1 90 Evaluation The maximum total doses presented in this attachment are the result of operations at the NMP1, NMP2 and the JAF facilities.
The maximum organ dose (Thyroid: 0.108 mRem) and the maximum whole body dose (0.492 mRem) are below the 40 CFR 190 criteria of 25 mRem per calendar year to the maximum exposed organ or the whole body, and below 75 mRem per calendar year to the thyroid.

INTRODUCTION The OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) is a supporting document of the Technical Specifications Section 5.5.1. The previous Limiting Conditions for Operation that were contained in the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications are now transferred to the ODCM as Radiological Effluent Controls. The ODCM contains two parts: Radiological Effluent Controls, Part I; and Calculational Methodologies, Part II. Radiological Effluent Controls, Part 1, includes the following:
(1) The Radioactive Effluent Controls and Radiological Environmental Monitoring Programs required by Technical Specification 5.5.1 and (2) descriptions of the information that should be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating and Radioactive Effluent Release Reports required by Technical Specifications 5.6.2 and 5.6.3. Calculational Methodologies, Part II, describes the methodology and parameters to be used in the calculation of liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation alarm/trip setpoints and the calculation of offsite doses due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents. The ODCM also contains a list and graphical description of the specific sample locations for the radiological environmental monitoring program, and liquid and gaseous radwaste treatment system configurations.
The ODCM follows the methodology and models suggested by NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109, Revision 1. Simplifying assumptions have been applied in this manual where applicable to provide a more workable document for implementing the Radiological Effluent Control requirements; this simplified approach will result in a more conservative dose evaluation for determining compliance with regulatory requirements.
The ODCM will be maintained for use as a reference and training document of accepted methodologies and calculations. Changes to the calculation methods or parameters will be incorporated into the ODCM to assure that the ODCM represents the present methodology in all applicable areas. Any changes to the ODCM will be implemented in accordance with Section 5.5.1 of the Technical Specifications.

Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis (a) The LLD is defined as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observatin represents a "real" signal.
For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:
LLD (4 .6 6 )(Sb)
(E) (V) (2.22x 106) (Y) e -Et where:
LLD = The before-the-fact lower limit of detection (.sCi per unit mass or volume),
Sb = The standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),
E The counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),
V The sample size (units of mass or volume),
2.22 x 106 = The number of disintegrations per minute per ptCi, Y The fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable,
)L The radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide (sec'), and At = The elapsed time between the midpoint of sample collection and the time of counting (secads).
Typical values of E, V, Y, and At should be used in the calculation.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a beforethe-fact limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an after-the-fact limit for a particular measurement.
(b) A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. Prior to sampling for analyses, each batch shall bdsolated, and then thoroughly mixed by the method described in Part II, Section 1.4 to assure representative sampling (c) The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD applies include the following radionuclides: Mn54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, and Ce-141. Ce-144 shall also be measured, but with an LLD of 5 x 106 .pCi/ml. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered. Other gamma peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the above nulides, shall also be analyzed and reported in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report pursuant to Technical Specification 5.6.31i the format outlined in RG 1.21, Appendix B, Revision 1, June 1974.
(d) A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional tothe quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling employed results in a speimen that is representative of the liquids released.
(e) If the alarm setpoint of the effluent monitor is exceeded, the frequency of sampling shall be increased to daily until the cndition no longer exists. Frequency of analysis shall be increased to dailyfor principal gamma emitters and an incident composite for H-3, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, and Fe-55.
(f) If the alarm setpoint of Service Water Effluent Monitor A and/or B is exceeded, the frequency of sampling shall be increasedo daily until the condition no longer exists. Frequency of analysis shall be increased to daily for principal gamma emitters and an incident composite for H-3, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, and Fe-55.
(g) Complete prior to each release.

Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate D 3.2.1 Table D 3.2.1-1 (Page 2 of 2)
Radioactive Gaseous Waste Sampling and Analysis (a) The LLD is defined as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, abovcsystem background, that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concludig that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.
For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:
LLD = (4.66) (Sb )
(E)(V) (2.22x 106 ) (Y) e-?,At where:
LLD The before-the-fact lower limit of detection OtCi per unit mass or volume),
Sb The standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),
E The counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),
V The sample size (units of mass or volume),
2.22 x 106 = The number of disintegrations per minute per pCi, Y = The fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable,
= The radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide (se&l), and At = The elapsed time between the midpoint of sample colledion and the time of counting (seconds).
Typical values of E, V, Y, and At should be used in the calculation.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a beforethe-fact limit representing the capability of a measurementsystem and not as an after-the-fact limit for a particular measurement.
(b) Sample and analysis before PURGE is used to determine permissible PURGE rates. Sample and analysis during actual PURGE is used for offsite dose calculations.
(c) The principal gamma emitters for which theLLD applies include the following radionuclides: Kr87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 in noble gas releases and Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, 1-131, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141 and Ce-144 in iodine and particulate releases. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered. Other~gamma peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the above nuclides, shall also beanalyzed and reported in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report pursuant to Technical Specification 5.6.3 in the format outlined in RG 1.21, Appendix B, Revision 1, June 1974.
(d) If the main stack or reactor/radwaste buildingradiation monitor is not FUNCTIONAL, sampling and analysis shall also be performed following shutdown, startup, or whoa there is an alarm on the offgas pretreatment monitor.
(e) H-3 grab samples shall be taken once every 7 days from the reactor/radwaste ventilation system when fuel is offloaded until sthle H-3 release levels can be demonstrated.
(f) The ratio of the sample flow rate to the sampled stream flow rate shall be known for the time period covered by each dose or dose rate calculation made in accordance with DLCO 3.2.1.b and DLCO 3.2.3.
(g) When the release rate of the main stack or reactor/radwaste building went exceeds its alarm setpoint, the iodine and particulate device shall be removed and analyzed to determine the changes in iodine and particulate release rates. The analysis shall bdone once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> until the release no longer exceeds the alarmsetpoint.

PART I - RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT CONTROLS BASES Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.1-0 December 2008
Liquid Effluents Concentration B 3.1.1 BA3.1 RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENTS B 3.1.1 Liquid Effluents Concentration BASES This is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be less than ten times the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in UNRESTRICTED AREAS will result in exposures within: (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC and (2) the levels required by 10 CFR 20.1301(e) to the population. The concentration limit for dissolved or entrained noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its effluent 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.
This applies to the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents from all units at the site.
The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in liquid waste samples are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). Detailed discussion of the LLD, and other detection limits can be found in L. A. Currie, "Lower Limit of Detection: Definition and Elaboration of a Proposed Position for Radiological Effluent and Environmental Measurements,"
NUREG/CR-4007 (September 1984), and in the HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revised annually).
Unit 2 Revision 31 IB 3.1-1 December 2008
Liquid Effluents Dose B 3.1.2 B 3.1 RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENTS B 3.1.2 Liquid Effluents Dose BASES This is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A, III.A, and IV.A of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. This implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept as low as is reasonably achievable.
Also, for fresh water sites with drinking water supplies that can be potentially affected by plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radionuclide concentrations in the potable drinking water that are in excess of the requirements of 40 CFR 141. For sites containing up to four reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose design objectives of Appendix I, and if direct radiation doses from the units including outside storage tanks, etc., are kept small. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within the 40 CFR 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 5 miles must be considered. The dose calculation methodology and parameters 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, so that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated.
The equations specified for calculating the doses that result from actual release rates of radioactive material in liquid effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in RG 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 R.G. 1.113, "Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidental and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purpose of Implementing Appendix I," April 1977. This applies to the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents from each unit at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the liquid effluents from the shared system are to be proportioned among the units sharing that system.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.1-2 December 2008
Liquid Radwaste Treatment System B 3.1.3 B3.1 RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENTS B 3.1.3 Liquid Radwaste Treatment System BASES The installed liquid radwaste treatment system shall be considered FUNCTIONAL by meeting DLCO 3.1.1 and DLCO 3.1.2. The FUNCTIONALITY of the liquid radwaste treatment system ensures that this system will be available for use whenever liquid effluents require treatment before release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept as low as is reasonably achievable. This implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, GDC 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 limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste treatment system were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 for liquid effluents. This applies to the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents from each unit at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the liquid effluents from the shared system are to be proportioned among the units sharing that system.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.1-3 December 2008
Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate B 3.2.1 B 3.2 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENTS B 3.2.1 Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate BASES This is provided toensure that the dose rate at any time at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 to UNRESTRICTED AREAS.
The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC in an UNRESTRICTED AREA, either within or outside the SITE BOUNDARY, to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 10 CFR 20 or as governed by 10 CFR 20.1302(c). For MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of that MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will usually be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the SITE BOUNDARY. Examples of calculations for such MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, with the appropriate occupancy factors, shall be given in Part II. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the 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 dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year. This applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from all units at the site.
The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in gaseous waste samples are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). Detailed discussion of the LLD, and other detection limits can be found in L. A. Currie, "Lower Limit of Detection: Definition and Elaboration of a Proposed Position for Radiological Effluent and Environments Measurements,"
NUREG/CR-4007 (September 1984), and in the HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revised annually).
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.2-1 December 2008
Gaseous Effluents Noble Gas Dose B 3.2.2 B 3.2 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENTS B 3.2.2 Gaseous Effluents Noble Gas Dose BASES This is provided to implement the requirements of Section II.B, III.A, and IV.A of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The DLCO implements the guides set forth in Section II.B of Appendix I. The REQUIRED ACTIONS provide the required operating flexibility and, at the same time, implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept as low as is reasonably achievable. The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guidelines of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data so that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. For sites containing up to four reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose design objectives of Appendix I, and if direct radiation doses from the units including outside storage tanks, etc., are kept small. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within the 40 CFR 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 5 miles must be considered. The dose calculation methodology and parameters for calculating the doses from the actual release rates of radioactive noble in gaseous effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in RG 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 RG 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 or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are based upon real-time meteorological conditions or the historical average atmospheric conditions.
This applies to the release of radioactive material in gaseous effluents from each unit at the site.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.2-2 December 2008
Gaseous Effluents Dose - Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium, and Radioactive Material In Particulate Form B 3.2.3 B 3.2 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENTS B 3.2.3 Gaseous Effluents Dose - Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium, and Radioactive Material In Particulate Form BASES This is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A, and IV.A of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The DLCO implements the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The REQUIRED ACTIONS provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept as low as is reasonably achievable. The calculational methods specified in the Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, so that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated.. For sites containing up to four reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose design objectives of Appendix I, and if direct radiation doses from the units including outside storage tanks, etc., are kept small. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within the 40 CFR 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 5 miles must be considered. The calculational methodology and parameters for calculating the doses from the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in RG 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 RG 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate DLCO for iodine-131, iodine-133, tritium, and radioactive material in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days are dependent upon the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the areas at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. The pathways that were examined in the development of these calculations were: (1) individual inhalation of airborne radioactive material, (2) deposition of radioactive material onto green leafy vegetation Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.2-3 December 2008
Gaseous Effluents Dose -Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium, and Radioactive Material In Particulate Form B 3.2.3 B 3.2.3 Gaseous Effluents Dose - Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium, and Radioactive Material In Particulate Form (continued) with subsequent consumption by man, (3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk-producing animals and meat-producing animals graze (human consumption of the milk and meat is assumed), and (4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure to man. This applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from each unit at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the gaseous effluents from the shared system are proportioned among the units sharing that system.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.2-4 December 2008
Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System B 3.2.4 B 3.2 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENTS B 3.2.4 Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System BASES The FUNCTIONALITY of the GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM ensures that the system will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment before release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used, when specified, provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept as low as is reasonably achievable. This implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, GDC 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, and the design objectives given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. Limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the system were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Sections II.B and II.C of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50, for gaseous effluents. This applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from each unit at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the gaseous effluents from the shared system are proportional among the units sharing that system.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.2-5 December 2008
Ventilation Exhaust Treatment System B 3.2.5 B 3.2 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENTS B 3.2.5 Ventilation Exhaust Treatment System BASES The FUNCTIONALITY of the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM ensures that the system will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment before release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used, when specified, provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept as low as is reasonably achievable. This implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, GDC 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, and the design objectives given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. Limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the system were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Sections II.B and II.C of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50, for gaseous effluents. This applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from each unit at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the gaseous effluents from the shared system are proportional among the units sharing that system.
The appropriate components, which affect iodine or particulate release, to be FUNCTIONAL are:
- 1) HEPA Filter - Radwaste Decon Area
- 2) HEPA Filter - Radwaste Equipment Area
- 3) HEPA Filter - Radwaste General Area Whenever one of these filters is not FUNCTIONAL, iodine and particulate dose projections will be made for 31-day intervals starting with filter nonfunctionality, and continuing as long as the filter remains nonfunctional, in accordance with DSR 3.2.5.1.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.2-6 December 2008
Venting or Purging B 3.2.6 B 3.2 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENTS B 3.2.6 Venting or Purging BASES This provides reasonable assurance that releases from drywell and/or suppression chamber purging operations will not exceed the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 for unrestricted areas.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.2-7 December 2008
Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation B 3.3.1 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.1 Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation BASES The radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases of liquid effluents. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Part II to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur before exceeding ten times the limits of 10 CFR 20. The FUNCTIONALITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of GDC 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50. The purpose of tank level indicating devices is to assure the detection and control of leaks that if not controlled could potentially result in the transport of radioactive materials to UNRESTRICTED AREAS.
Tanks included are those outdoor tanks that are not surrounded by liners, dikes, or walls capable of holding the tank contents and do not have tank overflows and surrounding area drains connected to the liquid radwaste treatment system, such as temporary tanks.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.3-1 December 2008
Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation B 3.3.2 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.2 Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation BASES 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 Part II to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur before exceeding the limits of 10 CFR 20. Although the Offgas System Noble Gas Activity Monitor is listed in Table D 3.3.2-1, "Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation", these monitors are actually located upstream of the Main Stack noble gas activity monitor and are not effluent monitors. They were included in Table D 3.3.2-1 in accordance with NUREG-0473. As such, Offgas System Noble Gas Activity Monitor alarm and trip setpoints are not based on I 0CFR20. The offgas system noble gas monitor alert setpoint is set at 1.5 times nominal full power background to assure compliance with ITS SR 3.7.4.1 which requires offgas sampling be performed within four hours of a 50% increase in offgas monitoring readings, and to support MSLRM trip removal. The offgas system noble gas monitor trip setpoint is based on the 10CFRI 00 limits for the limiting design basis gaseous waste system accident which is the offgas system rupture. The range of the noble gas channels of the main stack and radwaste/reactor building vent effluent monitors is sufficiently large to envelope both normal and accident levels of noble gas activity. The capabilities of these instruments are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.97, "Instrumentation for Light Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to Assess Plant Conditions During and Following an Accident,"
December 1980 and NUREG-0737, "Clarification of the TMI Action Plan Requirements,"
November 1980. This instrumentation also includes provisions for monitoring and controlling the concentrations of potentially explosive gas mixtures in the offgas system. The FUNCTIONALITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of GDC 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.3-2 December 2008
Radioactive Effluents Total Dose B 3.4 B 3.4 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS TOTAL DOSE BASES This is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR 190 that have been incorporated into 10 CFR 20 by 46 FR 18525. This requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses from releases of radioactivity and from radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources exceed 25 mrem to the whole body or any organ, except the thyroid (which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem). If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190.11 and 10 CFR 20.405c, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR 20, as addressed in 3.1.1 and 3.2.1. An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during any period in which the individual is engaged in carrying out any operation that is part of the nuclear fuel cycle.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.4-1 December 2008
Monitoring Program B 3.5.1 B 3.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING B 3.5.1 Monitoring Program BASES The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program provides representative measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposure of MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the plant operation. This monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 and thereby supplements the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring, Revision 1, November 1979. Program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.
The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs required by Table D 3.5.1-3 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a before-the-fact limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an after-the-fact limit for a particular measurement.
Detailed discussion of the LLD, and other detection limits, can be found in L. A. Currie, "Lower Limit of Detection: Definition and Elaboration of a Proposed Position for Radiological Effluent and Environmental Measurements," NUREG/CR-4007 (September 1984),
and in the HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revised annually).
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.5-1 December 2008
Land Use Census B 3.5.2 B 3.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING B 3.5.2 Land Use Census BASES This is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modifications to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program are made if required by the results of this census. The best information, such as from a door-to-door survey, from an aerial survey, or from consulting with local agricultural authorities, shall be used.
This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50.
Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 500 square feet provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed in RG 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were made: (1) 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage) and (2) the vegetation yield was 2 kg/n 2 .
A MILK SAMPLING LOCATION, as defined in Section 1.0, requires that at least 10 milking cows are present at a designated milk sample location. It has been found from past experience, and as a result of conferring with local farmers, that a minimum of 10 milking cows is necessary to guarantee an adequate supply of milk twice a month for analytical purposes. Locations with fewer than 10 milking cows are usually utilized for breeding purposes, eliminating a stable supply of milk for samples as a result of suckling calves and periods when the adult animals are dry. Elevated releases are defined in RG 1.111, Revision 1, July 1977.
Unit 2 Revision 31 I B 3.5-2 December 2008
Interlaboratory Comparison Program B 3.5.3 B 3.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING B 3.5.3 Interlaboratory Comparison Program BASES The requirement for participation in an approved Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive materials in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are valid for the purposes of Section IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50.
