Introduction This report, for the period of January through December of 2011, is being submitted by Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. for Millstone Power Station Units 1, 2, and 3 (MPS 1, 2 and 3), in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36a, the Radiological Effluent Monitoring and Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (REMODCM), and the Station's Technical Specifications. A combined report, written in the US NRC Regulatory Guide 1.21 format, is submitted for all three units.

Volume 1 contains radiological and volumetric information on airborne and liquid effluents, shipments of solid waste &

irradiated components, calculated offsite radiological doses, all changes to the REMODCM, information on effluent monitors inoperable for more than 30 consecutive days, and corrections to previous reports. Volume 2 contains a full copy of the complete revision to the REMODCM effective during the calendar year.

1.0 Off-Site Doses This report provides a summary of the 2011 off-site radiation doses from releases of radioactive materials in airborne and liquid effluents from MPSI, MPS2 and MPS3. This includes the annual maximum dose in millirem (mrem) to any real member of the public as well the maximum gamma and beta air doses.

To provide perspective, these doses are compared to the regulatory limits and to the annual average dose that a member of the public could receive from natural background and other sources.

Regulatory Guide 1.21 Revision 2 was issued in June 2009. This guide specifically states that Carbon-14 (C-14) needs to be reported in airborne effluents from US nuclear power plants. This reporting requirement became effective beginning with reporting year 2010. C-14 is not a new power plant emission. Because the overall quantity of radioactive releases has steadily decreased due to improvements in power plant operations, C-14 now qualifies as a "principle radionuclide" per the revised regulatory guide.

1.1 Dose Calculations The off-site dose to humans from radioactive airborne and liquid effluents have been calculated using measured radioactive effluent data, measured meteorological data, and the dose computer models DOSAIR and DOSLIQ, which were developed by Millstone Power Station. The methodology and input parameters for DOSAIR are those used in GASPAR II (Reference 11) and NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 3). The methodology and input parameters for DOSLIQ are those used in LADTAP II (Reference 6) and NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 3). The calculated doses generally tend to be conservative due to the conservative model assumptions.

Doses are based upon exposure to the airborne and liquid effluents over a. one-year period and an associated dose commitment over a 50-year period from initial exposure. The portion of the doses due to inhalation and ingestion take into account radioactive decay and biological elimination of the radioactive materials.

Maximum individual dose is defined as the dose to the individual who would receive the maximum dose from releases of airborne and liquid effluents. Although the location of the maximum individual may vary each quarterly period, the annual dose is the sum of these quarterly doses. This conservatively assumes that the individual is at the location of maximum dose each quarter.

The dose calculations are based upon three types of input: radioactive source term, site-specific data, and generic factors. The radioactive source terms (Curies) are characterized in Section 2, Effluent Radioactivity, of this report. The site-specific data includes: meteorological data (e.g. wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric stability) to calculate the transport and dispersion of airborne effluents, and dilution factors for liquid effluents.

The generic factors include the average annual consumption rates (for inhalation of air and ingestion of fruits, vegetables, leafy vegetables, grains, milk, poultry, meat, fish, and shellfish) and occupancy factors (for air submersion and ground irradiation, shoreline activity, swimming, boating, etc.). All these inputs are used in the appropriate dose models to calculate the maximum individual dose from radioactive airborne and liquid effluents.

1.1.1 Airborne Effluents Maximum individual doses due to the release of noble gases, radioiodines, and particulates were calculated using the computer code DOSAIR (Reference 10). This is equivalent to the NRC code, GASPAR II, which uses a semi-infinite cloud model to implement the NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 3) dose models.

The values of average relative effluent concentration (?JQ) and average relative deposition (D/Q) used in the DOSAIR code were generated using EDAN4, a meteorological computer code which implements the assumptions cited in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Reference 5), Section C. The annual summary of hourly 5

meteorological data (in 15-minute increments), which includes wind speed, direction, atmospheric stability, and joint frequency distribution, is not provided in the report but can be retrieved from computer storage.

Millstone Power Station stack releases are elevated (375 foot) with Pasquill stability classes determined based upon the temperature gradient between the 33 foot and 374 foot meteorological tower levels. However, the doses were conservatively calculated using mixed mode 142 foot meteorology since DOSAIR may underestimate the plume exposure (prior to plume touchdown) for elevated releases from the Millstone Power Station Stack. Only MPS2 and MPS3 discharge to the Millstone Power Station Stack. In March 2001, MPS1 was separated from the stack and two new release points were added to MPS1, the Spent Fuel Pool Island (SFPI) Vent and the Balance of Plant (BOP) Vent.

MPSI SFPI Vent (73 foot) and the BOP Vent (80 foot) releases are considered ground level; therefore these doses were calculated using the 33 foot meteorology. Continuous ventilation of the SFPI including tritium (H-3) releases due to evaporation from the spent fuel pool water release through the SFPI Vent. Continuous ventilation from other MPS 1 buildings are discharged to the BOP Vent. Doses from these release points were summed to determine the total MPS 1 airborne effluent dose.

MPS2 Auxiliary Building Ventilation, Steam Generator Blowdown Tank Vent and Containment Purge releases via the MPS2 Vent at 159 foot are considered mixed mode (partially elevated and partially ground) releases.

The first two of these are continuous releases while the Containment Purge is a batch release. Containment Purges can also be released via the Millstone Power Station Stack. Because doses for releases from the MPS2 Vent and from the Millstone Power Station Stack are calculated using the same meteorology, the Containment Purge releases are not divided between the MPS2 Vent and Millstone Power Station Stack. Batch releases from the Waste Gas Decay Tanks and Containment Vents are discharged via the Millstone Power Station Stack. The doses for these elevated releases were conservatively calculated using mixed mode 142 foot meteorology for which the Pasquill stability classes are determined based upon the temperature gradient between the 33 foot and 142 foot meteorological tower levels. The Containment Equipment Hatch and the Reactor Water Storage Tank (RWST) Tank Vent releases are considered ground level where the 33 foot meteorology was used for the dose calculations. Each of the doses for the various release points were summed to determine the total MPS2 airborne effluent dose.

The MPS3 Vent (142.5 foot) is considered a mixed mode (partially elevated and partially ground) release point.

The Pasquill stability classes are determined based upon the temperature gradient between the 33 foot and 142 foot meteorological tower levels. Auxiliary Building Ventilation is a mixed mode continuous release while Containment Purge and the "initial" Containment Drawdown (released at the roof of the Auxiliary Building) are considered mixed mode batch releases. Gaseous waste and operational containment drawdowns (also called containment vents) are released through the MPS3 Supplementary Leak Collection and Recovery System (SLCRS) system to the Millstone Power Station Stack (375 foot). The doses for these elevated releases were conservatively calculated using mixed mode 142 foot meteorology. The Engineered Safety Features Building (ESF) Ventilation, the Containment Equipment Hatch, and RWST Vent releases are considered ground level where the doses were calculated using 33 foot meteorology. Each of the doses for the various release points were summed to determine the total MPS3 airborne effluent dose.

1.1.2 Liquid Effluents Maximum individual doses from the release of radioactive liquid effluents were calculated using the DOSLIQ program (Reference 9). This program uses the dose models and parameters cited in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 with site-specific inputs to produce results similar to the LADTAP II code, (Reference 6).

1.2 Dose Results The calculated maximum off-site doses are presented in Table 1-1 for airborne effluents and Table 1-2 for liquid effluents.

1.2.1 Airborne Effluents For the dose to the maximum individual, DOSAIR calculates the dose to the whole body, gastroinstestinal (GI),

bone, liver, kidney, thyroid, lung, and skin from each of the following pathways: direct exposure from noble gases in the plume and from ground deposition, inhalation, and ingestion of vegetation, cow or goat milk, and meat. The values presented are a total from all pathways. However, only the whole body, skin, thyroid and maximum organ (other than thyroid) doses are presented.

For the plume and inhalation pathways, the maximum individual dose is calculated at the off-site location of the highest decayed X/Q where a potential for dose exists.

For ground deposition, the maximum individual dose is calculated at both the off-site maximum land location of the highest X/Q and highest D/Q where a potential for dose exists.

For the vegetation pathway, the maximum individual dose is calculated at the vegetable garden of the highest D/Q. For the vegetation pathway, the calculated dose is included in the maximum individual's dose only at locations and times where these pathways actually exist. Similarly, for meat, cow's milk, and goat's milk pathways, the calculated dose is included in the maximum individual's dose only at locations and times where these pathways actually exist.

To determine compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix I (Reference 8), the maximum individual whole body and organ doses include all applicable external pathways (i.e., plume and ground exposure) as well as the internal pathways (inhalation and ingestion).

1.2.2 Liquid Effluents The DOSLIQ code performs calculations for the following pathways: fish, shellfish, shoreline activity, swimming, and boating. Doses are calculated for the whole body, skin, thyroid, and maximum organ (GI, bone, liver, kidney, and lung).

1.2.3 Analysis of Results Table 1-3 provides a quantitative dose comparison with the limits specified in the REMODCM. The data indicates that the total whole body and organ doses to the maximum offsite individual from Millstone Power Station including all sources of the fuel cycle are well within the limits of 40 CFR 190 (Reference 8). On-site radioactive waste storage during this year was within storage criteria and the maximum dose to a member of the public was approximately 0.19 mrem/yr. The doses from airborne and liquid effluents were added to the estimated dose from on-site radioactive waste storage to show compliance compared to 40 CFR 190.

The Offsite Dose Comparison, Table 1-4, provides a perspective on the maximum offsite individual dose received from Millstone Power Station with the natural background radiation dose received by the average Connecticut resident. The total dose to the maximum individual received from Millstone Power Station is small

(< 0.1 %) in comparison to the dose received from natural background radiation.

2.0 Effluent Radioactivity 2.1 Airborne Effluents 2.1.1 Measurement of Airborne Radioactivity 2.1.1.1 Continuous Releases The following pathways have continuous radiation monitors that include particulate filters and, except for MPS 1, charcoal cartridges for monitoring the activity being released:

MPS 1 SFPI Island (no charcoal cartridge)

MPS 1 BOP Vent (no charcoal cartridge)

MPS2 Ventilation Vent MPS2 Wide Range Gas Monitor (WRGM) to Site Stack MPS3 Ventilation Vent MPS3 SLCRS to Site Stack MPS3 ESF Building Vent Charcoal cartridges and particulate filters are used to collect iodines and particulates, respectively. These filters are periodically replaced (typically weekly, except every two weeks for MPSI) and then analyzed for isotopic content using a gamma spectrometer. Particulate filters are also analyzed for Strontium-89 (Sr-89) (for all but MPS1), Strontium-90 (Sr-90) and gross alpha. At least monthly, gaseous grab samples are taken and analyzed for noble gasses and H-3. The gas washing bottle (bubbler) method is utilized for H-3 collection. This sample is counted on a liquid scintillation detector. Isotopic concentrations at the release point are multiplied by the total flow to obtain the total activity released for each isotope.

Since a major source of H-3 is evaporation of water from the spent fuel pools, H-3 releases were also estimated based upon amount of water lost and measured concentrations of the pool water. Grab samples from the MPS1 SFPI Vent and the MPS2 and MPS3 Vents are compared to the measured evaporation technique and the higher amount from either the vent or the measured evaporation technique is used to determine the amount of H-3 released.

Another continuous airborne pathway is the MPS2 Steam Generator Blowdown (SGBD) tank vent. A decontamination factor (DF) across the SGBD tank vent was determined for iodines by comparing the results of gamma spectrometry, analysis of the SGBD water and grab samples of the condensed steam exiting the vent.

This DF was applied to the total iodine releases via the SGBD water to calculate the iodine release out the vent.

An additional factor of 0.33 was utilized to account for the fraction of blowdown water actually flashing to steam in the SGBD tank.

12

2.1.1.2 Batch Releases The following pathways periodically have releases that are considered batches:

MPS2 Waste Gas Decay Tanks (WGDT) (via MPS2 WRGM to Millstone Power Station Stack)

MPS2 and MPS3 Containment Purges (via Unit Ventilation Vents, except for MPS2 if using Enclosure Building Filtration System (EBFS) via WRGM to Millstone Power Station)

MPS2 and MPS3 Containment Vents (via EBFS to Millstone Power Station Stack for MPS2 and via SLCRS to Millstone Power Station Stack for MPS3)

MPS2 and MPS3 Containment Equipment Hatch Openings MPS2 and MPS3 RWST Vents MPS3 Containment Drawdown Waste Gases from the MPS2 Gaseous Waste Processing System are held for decay in waste gas decay tanks prior to discharge through the Millstone Power Station Site Stack. Each gas decay tank is analyzed prior to discharge for noble gas and H-3. Calculated volume discharged is multiplied by the isotopic concentrations (noble gas and H-3) from the analysis of grab samples to determine the total activity released.

Containment air is sampled periodically for gamma and H-3 to determine the activity released from containment venting. The measured concentrations are multiplied by the containment vent volume to obtain the total activity released. MPS2 typically performs this process of discharging air from containment to maintain pressure approximately once per week while at MPS3 it is more often (typically at least daily). Any iodines and particulates discharged would be detected by the continuous monitoring discussed in section 2.1.1.1.

Containment air is sampled prior to each purge for gamma and H-3 to determine the activity released from containment purging. Similar to containment venting, the measured concentrations are multiplied by the containment vent volume to obtain the total activity released. Any iodines and particulates discharged would be detected by the continuous monitoring discussed in section 2.1.1.1.

Samples of air near the Containment Equipment Hatch openings are analyzed for particulates and iodines, during refueling outages for the period that the equipment hatch is open. An estimated flow out of the hatch and sample results are used to determine the radioactivity released.

When water is transferred to RWST there is a potential for a release of radioactivity through the tank vent.

Releases of noble gases, iodines, particulates and H-3 are estimated. A DF was applied to the total particulates and iodines contained in the water transferred to the RWST to estimate the releases. All noble gases are assumed to be released through the tank vent.

MPS3 containment is initially drawn down prior to startup. This is accomplished by using the containment vacuum steam jet ejector which releases through an unmonitored vent on the roof of the Auxiliary Building.

Grab samples are performed prior to drawdown to document the amount of radioactivity released during these evolutions.

2.1.2 Estimate of Carbon-14 Beginning in 2010 U. S. nuclear utilities are required to report airborne releases of C-14. This nuclide is not typically monitored because of its difficulty in measurement and analysis but the amount released can be estimated based upon its production rate. Reference 2 provides a method for this calculation. Also a key factor in the dose assessment is the percentage of C-14 that is in the form of carbon dioxide. Based on Reference 2, it was conservatively assumed that 30% of the C-14 exists as carbon dioxide (CO 2).

13

2.1.3 Estimate of Errors Estimates of errors associated with radioactivity measurements were made using the following guidelines:

Radioactivity Measurement Calibration 10% Calibration to NIST* standards Sampling/Data Collection 10% - 20% Variation in sample collection Sample Line Loss 20% - 40% Deposition of some nuclides Sample Counting 10% - 30% Error for counting statistics Flow & Level Measurements 10% - 20% Error for release volumes

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

2.2 Liquid Effluents 2.2.1 Measurement of Liquid Radioactivity 2.2.1.1 Continuous Liquid Releases Water containing radioactivity is continuously released through one of two pathways - the Millstone Quarry or DSNO06. DSNO06 is next to the MPS3 intake structure (DSN is an acronym for 'discharge serial number.')

Grab samples are taken for continuous liquid release pathways and analyzed on the gamma spectrometer and liquid scintillation detector (for H-3) if required by the conditional action requirements of the REMODCM.

Total estimated volume is multiplied by the isotopic concentrations (if any) to determine the total activity released. A proportional aliquot of each discharge is retained for composite analysis for Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55 and gross alpha if required by the conditional action requirements of the REMODCM. Pathways for continuous liquid effluent releases via the Millstone Quarry include, Steam Generator Blowdown, Service Water Effluent and Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW) Sump for MPS2. Pathways for continuous liquid effluent releases via DSNO06 include Turbine Building Sump discharge from MPS2 and MPS3.

2.2.1.2 Batch Liquid Releases from Tanks and Sumps Batch liquid releases are made via both the Millstone Quarry and DSNO06. There are numerous sources from which batches of liquids containing radioactivity are discharged to the environs. Except for three sources from MPS3 to DSNO06 they are discharged via the Millstone Quarry. The sources are:

MPS1 Reactor Building Sumps Underground Ventilation Duct Site Stack Sump MPS2 Clean Waste Monitor Tanks (2)

Aerated Waste Monitor Tanks CPF Waste Neutralization Sump Steam Generator and other Systems' Bulk Discharges MPS3 High Level Waste Test Tanks (2)

Low Level Waste Drain Tanks (2)

CPF Waste Neutralization Sump Steam Generator Bulk Boron and Waste Test Tanks Berm (via DSNO06)

Foundation Drains Sumps (via DSNO06)

Systems' Bulk Discharges (via DSNO06)

Prior to release, a tank is re-circulated for two equivalent tank volumes, a sample is drawn and then analyzed on the HPGe gamma spectrometer and liquid scintillation detector (H-3) for individual radionuclide composition.

Isotopic concentrations are multiplied by the volume released to obtain the total -activity released. For bulk releases, several samples are taken during the discharge to verify the amount of radioactivity released. A proportional aliquot of each discharge is retained for composite analysis for Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55, and gross alpha.

2.2.2 Groundwater Monitoring The Groundwater Protection Program (GPP) describes the means by which Millstone Power Station implements the actions cited in the Nuclear Energy's Institute's (NEI) Groundwater Protection Initiative. The purpose of the GPP is to establish a program to assure timely and effective management of situations involving potential releases of radioactive material to groundwater. A key element in the GPP is on-site groundwater monitoring.

The results of the onsite monitoring programs required by the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program are documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Monitoring Report.

33

Another key element in the GPP is site hydrological characterization. The general trend of groundwater flow at the station is toward the Long Island Sound. The underdrain system effectively captures groundwater in the area around MPS3 and channels this water via the storm drain system to Long Island Sound. The consequences of these measurements have been used to determine releases and doses.

2.2.3 Estimate of Errors Estimates of errors associated with radioactivity measurements were made using the following guidelines:

Radioactivity Measurement Calibration 10% Calibration to NIST* standards Sampling/Data Collection 10% - 20% Variation in sample collection Sample Counting 10% - 30% Error for counting statistics Flow & Level Measurements 10% - 20% Error for release volumes

In 2011, the following abnormal liquid releases occurred:

2.2.5.1 MPS1 - None 2.2.5.2 MPS2 - None 2.2.5.3 MPS3 - None 2.2.6 Liquid Release Tables The following tables proVide the details of the liquid radioactivity released from each of the Millstone Power Station units. They are categorized by type of release, source(s), and by release point of discharge to the environment.

2.4 Groundwater Monitoring The Groundwater Protection Program (GPP) describes the means by which Millstone Power Station implements the actions cited in the Nuclear Energy's Institute's (NEI) Groundwater Protection Initiative. The purpose of the GPP is to establish a program to assure timely and effective management of situations involving potential releases of radioactive material to groundwater. A key element in the GPP is on-site groundwater monitoring.

The results of the GPP are documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR).

Additional wells were sampled and the results are documented in Table 2.4-GW1 below.

2 - These wells are located around the MPS3 RWST.

H-3 detected in these wells is from releases out of the RWST vent. The H-3 is captured in sumps and underground vaults and is measured and accounted before release to the environment. There is no communication with ground water.

These releases and resultant doses to the public are accounted in earlier sections of this report.

3.0 Inoperable Effluent Monitors During the period January I through December 31, 2011, the following effluent monitors were inoperable for more than 30 consecutive days:

3.1 MPS1 -None 3.2 MPS2- None 3.3 MPS3 - Steam Generator Blowdown Effluent Line flow rate measurement device On October 09, 2011 at 04:59 the steam generator blowdown radiation monitor (3SSR-RE08) was declared inoperable due to isolating steam generator blowdown sampling system for refueling outage 3R14. The monitor remained out of service due to lack of steam generator pressure until November 21, 2011 at 01:17 when it was made operable subsequent to completion of 3R14.

The monitor exceeded 30 days out of service due to the outage 3R14 lasting longer than expected. There was no failure of the monitor itself. Had the power plant been in service with the steam generators at pressure the monitor would have been restored.

6.0 REMODCM Changes The description and the bases of the change(s) for REMODCM Revision 26-02 (effective March 15, 2011) are included here in Volume 1 of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. In addition, a complete copy of the REMODCM revision is provided to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as Volume 2 of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES 1.1 In Section I.C.2, change Millstone Unit 1 waste stream 'reactor cavity water' to 'spent fuel water.'

1.2 Fig. I.C-3:

  • Add "3" to end of title for Figure I.C-3.
  • Change designation for Cesium Ion Exchanger in Figure I.C-3 from "CHS-DEMNl A/B" to "BRS-DEMN1 A/B."

1.3 Table I.D-2 & I.D-3:

  • Revise Footnote C to make sample applicable only to principle gamma emitters.
  • In Footnote G delete the words "and there is fuel in the cavity."
  • Revise Footnote K in Table I.D-2 and Footnote J in Table I.D-3 to make sampling and analyses applicable only for principle gamma emitters.

1.4 In Fig. 1.D-2, Change the following boxes to a broken line box format:

HEPA/Charcoal (L29A/B),

HEPA L25, HEPA L27, Waste gas compressor (F-lA/B), and Decay tanks (T 19A/B/C/D/E/F).

Also add a note at bottom that the components in the broken line boxes are those included in treatment equipment requirement.

1.5 Fig. 1.D-3:

  • Change the boxes for Charcoal Beds (3GWS-AD1A/B) and HEPA (3GWS-FLT1A/B) to a broken line box format. Also add a note at bottom that the components in the broken line boxes are those included in treatment equipment requirement.
  • Add rad monitor 3GWS-RE48 at output of gaseous waste system.
  • Add footnote that only portion of ESF building vent is monitored.

1.6 In Table I.E-4, n first bullet in Footnote A change "uCi" to "pCi."

1.7 In Sections II.C & II.D, at the end of the first paragraph add the sentence "Method 2. may be used in lieu of Method 1."

1.8 In Sections II.C.6 & II.D.5, in the requirements for quarterly dose calculation for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report, allow methodology contained in NUREG-0 133, "Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants."

1.9 In Section II.D. 1.b(2), Change dose factor for Units 2&3 tritium vent releases from 4.2E-6 to 4.1E-6.

72

1.1OIn Sections II.E.3 & II.E.8:

" In Step 1, change noble gas concentration from 5.7E-3 to 1.1 E-2 uCi/ml and add "175 gpm discharge flow" to basis for this value.

" In Step 1, add requirement to adjust noble gas reduction factor when dilution flow is less than 100,000.

  • In Step 2, allow credit for dilution flow from the other Unit as long as the other dilution flow is not being credited for a concurrent discharge from that Unit.

" In Step 2, change the minimum acceptable radiation monitor setpoint from 2.8E-5 to 5.6E-5 uCi/ml and the basis for this value (in Note 2) from 350 to 175 gpm discharge flow.

1.11In Table V.C. 1, change applicability for Steam Generator Blowdown Monitor from Modes 1-5 to Modes 1-4.

2.0 BASES FOR CHANGES 2.1 Section I.C-2: Requirement to sample and analyze water from Millstone Unit 1 reactor cavity and to report radioactivity released is being changed to apply to water from the spent fuel pool. All the cavity water has been discharged and water will no longer be added to the cavity. When the spent fuel is removed the water will need to be processed before discharge.

2.2 Figure I.C-3: Change is being made to correct a typographical error.

2.3 Tables I.D-2 & I.D-3:

" Footnote C is being revised to make samples, during power changes, of gaseous releases to the Units 2&3 vents and to the Millstone Stack applicable only to principle gamma emitters. During power changes the tritium concentration in reactor coolant remains constant. Therefore, only gamma emitters need to be analyzed during power changes.

  • Footnote G is being revised to require weekly tritium analyses of gaseous samples of releases to the Units 2&3 vents and to the Millstone Stack when the reactor cavity is flooded regardless of whether or not there is fuel in the cavity. Water used to fill the cavity from the RWST contains tritium. Therefore tritium needs to be checked even when there is no fuel in the cavity.

" Footnote K in Table I.D-2 and Footnote J in Table I.D-3 are being revised to make sampling and analyses of gaseous releases to the Units 2&3 vents and to the Millstone Stack following increases in radiation monitor readings applicable only for principle gamma emitters. Experience has shown that tritium concentration in reactor coolant remains constant even with changes in gamma emitting radiation (i.e., noble gases).

2.4 Figure I.D-2: Figure is being revised to indicate gaseous processing equipment required per Section I.D.2 by a box with broken line format. These components are required to be operable when projected effluent doses exceed a specified amount. This practice is the same as in the liquid effluent diagrams of Figure I.C-2.

2.5 Figure I.D-3:

  • Figure is being revised to indicate gaseous processing equipment required per Section I.D.2 by a box with broken line format. These components are required to be operable 73

when projected effluent doses exceed a specified amount. This practice is the same as in the liquid effluent diagrams of Figure I.C-3.

" Radiation monitor 3GWS-RE48 at output of gaseous waste system is being added to the figure. Although not an effluent monitor, this radiation monitor could be used to indicate releases of radioactivity from the gaseous waste system to the Millstone Stack.

" Another pathway and a footnote are being added to the figure to show that only a portion the release to the ESF building vent is monitored. This provides more detail to effluent releases from the ESF building which conforms to plant design.

2.6 Table I.E-4: Change is being made to correct a typographical error.

2.7 Sections II.C & II.D: Sections are being revised to allow the flexibility of bypassing the Method 1 dose methodology and to use the more exact Method 2 methodology. Method 1 is designed as a very conservative first estimate of dose.

2.8 Sections II.C.6 & II.D.5: Sections are being revised to allow methodology contained in NUREG-0133, "Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants" for quarterly dose calculations for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. Millstone will be changing its dose calculation methodology using the vendor-supplied program "OpenEMS." Some of the methodology in this program uses guidance provided in NUREG-0133 which gives NRC approved methodology.

2.9 Section II.D. 1.b(2): Change is being made to correct a typographical error.

2.10 Sections II.E.3 & II.E8:

" Sections are being revised to increase the allowable noble gas concentration and the radiation monitor setpoints by a factor of two. The concentration and the setpoint can be increased because the actual discharge flow rate cannot exceed 175 gpm which is a factor of two below the flow rate currently used to determine concentration limit and setpoint.

" Sections are being revised to adjust noble gas reduction factor when dilution flow is less than 100,000. This will allow discharges at times when dilution flow is limited.

Discharges at very low dilution flow could be permitted as long as the discharge flow requirement in Step 2 and REMODCM limit on radioactivity concentrations in diluted discharged flow are met.

  • Sections are being revised to allow credit for dilution flow from the other Unit as long as the other dilution flow is not being credited for a concurrent discharge from that Unit. Actual dilution occurs in the Millstone Quarry and the environmental limits apply at the Quarry cut discharge to Long Island Sound. Thus credit may be taken for dilution flow from the other Unit.

2.11 Table V.C-I: Table is being revised to change applicability for Steam Generator Blowdown Monitor from Modes 1-5 to Modes 1-4. During Mode 5 there is insufficient pressure in steam generators to generate blowdown. Therefore, the radiation monitor is not needed during Mode 5. This is consistent with the REMODCM requirements for the MPS2 S/G blowdown rad monitor.
