INTRODUCTION The OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) is a supporting document of the RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (NUREG 0472). The ODCM enumerates dose and concentration specifications, instrument requirements, as well as describes the methodology and parameters to be used in the calculation of offsite doses from radioactive liquid and airborne effluents consistent with RG 1.109 and NUREG 0133. In order to meet release limits, it additionally provides calculations for liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation alarm/trip setpoints. The environmental section contains the requirements for the radiological environmental monitoring program.

The ODCM will be maintained at the Site for use as a document of Specifications and acceptable methodologies and calculations to be used in implementing the Specifications. Changes in the calculational methods or parameters will be incorporated into the ODCM in order to assure that the ODCM represents current methodology.

SO1 23-ODCM Revision 0 vii 02-27-07

1.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS 1.1 CONCENTRATION SPECIFICATION 1.1.1 The concentration of radioactive material released from the site (see Figure 1-2) shall be limited to the concentrations specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, column 2 for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases.

For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 2 x 10-4 microcuries/ml total activity.

APPLICABILITY: At all times ACTION:

a. The LLD is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.

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

LLD = 4.66 sb E . V . 2.22 x 106 . Y. exp (-At) where:

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

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

E is the counting efficiency (as counts per transformation),

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

2.22 x 106 is the number of transformations per minute per microcurie, Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable),

A is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide, and At is the elapsed time between midpoint of sample collection and time of counting (for plant effluents, not environmental samples).

The value of sb used in the calculation of the LLD for a particular measurement system shall be based on the actual observed variance of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of the blank samples (as appropriate) rather than on an unverified theoretically predicted variance.

Typical values of E, V, Y and At should be used in the calculation.

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

TABLE NOTATION

b. A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen which is representative of the liquids released.
c. To be representative of the quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples shall be collected continuously in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream. Prior to analysis, all samples taken for the composite shall be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the effluent release.
d. A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume.

Prior to sampling for analyses, each batch shall be isolated, and then thoroughly mixed, by a method described in the ODCM, to assure representative sampling.

e. A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a nondiscrete volume; e.g., from a volume of system that has an input flow during the continuous release.
f. The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification applies exclusively are the following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-1 34, Cs-i 37, Ce-1 41, Ce-144. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported. Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, and those isotopes listed in Reg. Guide 1.21, shall also be identified and reported.
g. Prior to analysis, all samples taken for the composite shall be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the effluent release.

Administrative controls shall ensure that only one continuous release point is discharging through a discharge path at any given time. The normal continuous release point via 2(3)RT-7821 is the turbine plant sump.

The first sump when transferring outlying sumps shall be treated as a batch release.

Sampling of this flow is not required if at least once per 31 days blowdown bypass isolation valve (S21301 MU619 for Steam Generator 2E088, S21301 MU618 for Steam Generator 2E089, S31301 MU619 for Steam Generator 3E088 and S31 301 MU618 for Steam Generator 3E089) is verified locked shut.

S0 123-ODCM 1-6 Revision 0 02-27-07

1.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS (Continued) 1.3 LIQUID WASTE TREATMENT SPECIFICATION 1.3.1 The liquid radwaste treatment system shall be OPERABLE. The appropriate portions of the system shall be used to reduce the radioactive materials in liquid wastes prior to their discharge when the projected doses due to the liquid effluent from the site (see Figure 1-2) when averaged over 31 days, woyld exceed 0.06 mrem to the total body or 0.2 mrem to any organ.

APPLICABILITY: At all times ACTION:

a.

1.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS (Continued) 1.4 LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITOR METHODS OF SETPOINT CALCULATION Liquid Radwaste Effluent Line Monitors provide alarm and automatic termination of release prior to exceeding the concentration limits specified in 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2 at the release point to the unrestricted area. To meet this specification and for the purpose of implementation of Specification 1.1.1, the alarm/trip setpoints for liquid effluent monitors and flow measurement devices are set to assure that the following equation is satisfied:

CmR F+R -<M(PC1-Pef where:

Cm = setpoint, representative of a radionuclide concentration for the radiation monitor measuring the radioactivity in the waste effluent line prior to dilution and subsequent release, pCi/ml R = permissible waste effluent flow rate at the radiation monitor location, in volume per unit time in the same units as for F F = dilution water flow in volume per unit time.

= 185,000 gpm per circulating water pump (4 total)*

= 17,000 gpm per saltwater pump (2 total)

The design flowrate of each circulating water pump is 205,000 gpm.

The value used in the determination of F takes into account factors such as frictional losses, pump inefficiency, and tidal flow, and provides reasonable assurance that the radioactive release concentration is not underestimated.

NOTE: Since the values of R are much smaller than F, the term (F + R) in equation (1-1) may be replaced by F.

(MPCI)

E where:

n = number of radionuclides identified in sample analysis Fj = fractional concentration of the ith radionuclide as obtained by sample analysis MPCi = MPC of the ith radionuclide (10CFR20; App B, Table II, Column 2)

Administrative values are used to reduce each setpoint to account for the potential activity released simultaneously from the following release points:

RW7813 = Radwaste Effluent discharge SG 88.2 = Unit 2 Steam Generator E-088 SG89.2 = Unit 2 Steam Generator E-089 SG 8B_ 3 = Unit 3 Steam Generator E-088 SG 89 _3 = Unit 3 Steam Generator E-089 B2 = Unit 2 Blowdown Processing System Neutralization Sump B3 = Unit 3 Blowdown Processing System Neutralization Sump T2 = Unit 2 Turbine Plant Sump T3 = Unit 3 Turbine Plant Sump Y = NIA Yard Drain Sump The sum of the administrative values is limited to 1.0 to ensure that the total concentration from all release points to the plant discharge will not result in a release exceeding the limits of 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2. The administrative values shall be assigned such that:

(RW 7813 + SG 88 2 + SG 89-2 + SG8B.3 + SG 89 .3 + B 2 + B3 + T 2 + T3 + Y) < 1 .0.

The administrative values shall be periodically reviewed based on actual release data and revised as necessary.

1.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS (Continued) 1.4.1 BATCH RELEASE SETPOINT DETERMINATION The waste flow (R) and monitor setpoint (Cm) are set to meet the condition of equation (1-1) for the MPCeff limit. The method by which this is accomplished is as follows:

STEP 1: The isotopic concentration for each batch tank (or sump) to be released is obtained from the sum of the measured concentrations in the tank (or sump) as determined by analysis.

C = (iuc') (C-)

a. The LLD is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.

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

LLD =4.66 sb E - V - 2.22 x 106

  • Y - exp (-XAt) where:

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

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

E is the counting efficiency (as counts per transformation),

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

2.22 x 106 is the number of transformations per minute per microcurie, Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable),

, is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide, and At is the elapsed time between midpoint of sample collection and time of counting (for plant effluents, not environmental samples).

The value of sb used in the calculation of the LLD for a particular measurement system shall be based on the actual observed variance of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of the blank samples (as appropriate) rather than on an unverified theoretically predicted variance.

Typical values of E, V, Y and At should be used in the calculation.

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

a. The LLD is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.

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

sb LLD =4.66 E - V. 2.22 x 106 . Y - exp (-AAt) where:

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

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

E is the counting efficiency (as counts per transformation),

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

2.22 x 106 is the number of transformations per minute per microcurie, Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable),

\ is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide, and At is the elapsed time between midpoint of sample collection or end of the collection period and time of counting (for environmental samples, not plant effluents ).

The value of sb used in the calculation of the LLD for a detection system shall be based on the actual observed variance of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of the blank samples (as appropriate) rather than on an unverified theoretically predicted variance. In calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma-ray spectrometry, the background shall include the typical contributions of other radionuclides normally present in the samples (e.g., potassium-40 in milk samples).

Typical values of E,V,Y and At shall be used in the calculations.

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

6.0 ADMINISTRATIVE (Continued) 6.4 BASES LIQUID EFFLUENTS CONCENTRATION (1.1) 6.4.1 This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site will be less than the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2. This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will result in exposures within (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix 1,10 CFR 50, to an individual, and (2)the limits of 10 CFR 20.106(e) to the population. The concentration limit for dissolved or entrained noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-1 35 is the controlling radioisotope and its MPC in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.

DOSE (1.2) 6.4.2 This specification is provided to implement the require-ments of Section II.A, III.A and IV.A of Appendix 1,10 CFR Part 50. The Limiting Condition for Operation implements the guides set forth in Section I.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material -in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The dose calculations in the ODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The equations specified in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I,"Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.113, "Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidental and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purpose of Implementing Appendix I," April 1977.

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

LIQUID WASTE TREATMENT (1.3) 6.4.3 The OPERABILITY of the liquid radwaste treatment system ensures that this system will be available for use whenever liquideffluents require treatment prior to 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 specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and the design objective given in Section Il.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste treatment system were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, for liquid effluents.

GASEOUS EFFLUENTS DOSE RATE (2.1) 6.4.4 This specification is provided to ensure that the dose at any time at the site boundary from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 for unrestricted areas. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 1. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual in an unrestricted area, either within or outside the site boundary, to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table II of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR Part 20.106(b)). For individuals who may at times be within the site boundary, the occupancy of the individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the site boundary. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above back ground to an individual at or beyond the site boundary to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year.

This specification applies to the release of gaseous effluents from all reactors 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.

DOSE - NOBLE GASES (2.2) 6.4.5 This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections lI.B, III.A and IV.A of Appendix 1,10 CFR Part 50. The Limiting Condition for Operation implements the guides set forth in Section II.B of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the uides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure at the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Com liance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I,"Revision 1, October 1M97 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977. For individuals who may at times be within the site boundary, the occupancy of the individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the SITE BOUNDARY. For MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC who traverse the SITE BOUNDARY via highway 1-5, the residency time shall be considered negligible and hence the dose "0". The ODCM equations provided for determining the air doses at the SITE BOUNDARY are based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions.

DOSE - RADIOIODINES, RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS IN PARTICULATE FORM AND TRITIUM (2.3) 6.4.6 This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A and IV.A of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50.

The ODCM calculational methods for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases 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 specifications for radioiodines, radioactive materials in particulate form and tritium are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the unrestricted area. The pathways which were examined in the development of these calculations were: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, 3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT (2.4) 6.4.7 The OPERABILITY of the GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM and the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM ensures that the systems will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of these systems be used, when specified, provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and the design objectives given in Section 11.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the systems were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Sections II.B and II.C of Appendix 1,10 CFR Part 50, for gaseous effluents.

TOTAL DOSE (3.3) 6.4.8 This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR 190. The specification requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses from plant radioactive effluents exceed twice the design objective doses of Appendix I. For sites containing up to 4 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 the reporting requirement level. The Special Report will describe a course of action which should result in the limitation of dose to a member of the public for 12 consecutive months 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. 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 in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190.11, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR 190 until NRC staff action is completed provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR 190 have not already been corrected. An individual is not considered a member of the public during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation which is part of the nuclear fuel cycle.

RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENT INSTRUMENTATION (4.1) 6.4.9 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 in accordance with the procedures in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. This instrumenta-tion also includes provisions for monitoring and controlling the concentrations of potentially explosive gas mixtures in the waste gas holdup system. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63 and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

MONITORING PROGRAM (5.1) 6.4.11 The radiological monitoring program required by this specification provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides, which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from the station operation. This monitoring program thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first three years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.

The detection capabilities required by Table 5-1 are state-of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

LAND USE CENSUS (5.2) 6.4.12 This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of UNRESTRICTED AREAS are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census. The best survey information from the door-to-door, aerial or consulting with local agricultural authorities shall be used. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 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 Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were used,

1) that 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage), and
2) a vegetation yield of 2 kg/square meter.

INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM (5.3) 6.4.13 The requirement for participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are reasonably valid.
