Radiological Effluent Monitoring Manual (REMM)

For the Millstone Nuclear Power Station Nos. 1, 2, & 3 Docket Nos. 50-245, 50-336, 50-423 MIP-22-REC-BAPO1 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 6 of 167

SECTION I. RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT MONITORING MANUAL (REMM)

I.A. Introduction The purpose of Section I of this manual is to provide the sampling and analysis programs which provide input to Section II for calculating liquid and gaseous effluent concentrations and offsite doses. Guidelines are provided for operating radioactive waste treatment systems in order that offsite doses are kept As-Low-As-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA).

The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program outlined within this manual provides confirmation that the measurable concentrations of radioactive material in the environment as a result of operations at the Millstone Site are not higher than expected.

In addition, this manual outlines the information required to be submitted to the NRC in both the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report and the

-Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

MP REC- REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document (TID)," has additional bases and technical information. It also contains a list-of exceptions to Regulatory Guide 1.21 (see Section 2 of the TID).

I.B. Responsibilities All changes to the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Manual (REMM) shall be reviewed and approved by the Facility Safety Review Committee prior to implementation.

All changes and their rationale shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

It shall be the responsibility of the Site Vice President Millstone to ensure that this manual is used as required by the administrative controls of the Technical Specifications. The delegation of implementation responsibilities is delineated in MP-22-REC-PRG, "Radiological Effluent Program."

I.C. Liquid Effluents

1. Liquid Effluent Sampling and Analysis Program Radioactive liquid wastes shall be sampled and analyzed in accordance with the program specified in Table I.C.-1 for Millstone Unit No. 1, Table I.C.-2 for Millstone Unit No. 2, and Table I.C.-3 for Millstone Unit No. 3. The results of the radioactive analyses shall be input to the methodology of Section II to assure that the concentrations at the point of release are MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 7 of 167

maintained within the limits of Radiological Effluent Controls (Section III.D.l.a. for Millstone Unit No. 1,Section IV.D.1.a. for Millstone Unit No.

2, and Section VD.1.a. for Millstone Unit No. 3).

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

Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and recorded on the analysis sheet for the particular sample.

B. Prior to the sampling, each batch shall be isolated and at least two tank/sump volumes shall be recirculated or equivalent mixing provided.

C. 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. Prior to analysis, all samples taken for the composite shall be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the effluents released.

1) IF the radioactivity concentration criteria for the Unit 3 steam generator blowdown is exceeded with blowdown recovery not available to maintain releases to as low as reasonably achievable; or, IF any of the other radioactive waste processing equipment listed in Section b. are not routinely operating, THEN doses due to liquid effluents from the applicable waste stream to unrestricted areas shall be projected at least once per 31 days in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section II.C.5.
2) IF any of these dose projections exceeds 0.006 mrem to the total body or 0.02 mrem to any organ, THEN best efforts shall be made to return the processing equipment to service, or to limit discharges via the applicable waste stream.
3) IF an actual dose due to liquid effluents exceeds 0.06 mrem to the total body or 0.2 mrem to any organ AND the dose from the waste stream with processing equipment not operating exceeds 10% of one of these limits, THEN prepare and submit to the Commission a Special Report within 30 days as specified in Section 2.c.
b. Required Equipment for Each Millstone Unit Best efforts shall be made to return the applicable liquid radioactive waste treatment system equipment specified below for each unit to service or to limit discharge via the applicable waste stream if the projected doses exceed any of the doses specified above.

3. Basis for Liquid Sampling, Analysis and Radioactive Treatment System Use Paragraph (a)(2) of Part 50.36a provides that licensee will submit an annual report to the Commission which specifies the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released to unrestricted areas in liquid effluents during the past 12 months of plant operation. The indicated liquid surveillance programs (as directed by surveillance requirements for Radiological Effluent Controls in Sections III.D.l.a., IVD.I.a., and VD.1.a.)

provides the means to quantify and report on liquid discharges from release pathways. As specified in Regulatory Guide 1.21, this program monitors all major and potentially significant paths for release of radioactive material in liquid effluents during normal reactor operations, including anticipated operational occurrences. There are many minor release pathways which are not routinely monitored. The Millstone Effluent Control Program includes, as needed, evaluations to determine if any release point should be added to the REMODCM surveillance program. This information also provides for the assessment of effluent concentrations and environmental dose impacts for the purpose of demonstration compliance with the effluent limits of 10 CFR 20, and dose objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix 1. The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in liquid waste samples are tabulated in terms of Lower Limits of Detection (LLDs) and are selected such that the detection of radioactivity in effluent releases will occur at levels below which effluent concentration limits and off-site dose objectives would be exceeded. The LLDs are listed in Table 4.11-1 of NUREG-1301 except for the LLD for Ce- 144 which is contained in Footnote (3) of Table 4.11-1 of NUREG- 1301.

The indicated liquid radwaste treatment equipment for each Unit have been determined, using the GALE code, to be capable to minimize radioactive liquid effluents such that the dose objectives of Appendix I can be met for expected routine (and anticipated operational occurrence) effluent releases.

This equipment is maintained and routinely operated to treat appropriate liquid waste streams without regards to projected environmental doses.

If not already in use, the requirement that the appropriate portions of the liquid radioactive waste treatment system for each Unit be returned to service when the specified effluent doses are exceeded provides assurance that the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This condition of equipment usage implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, and the design objective given in Section II.D.

of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The specified dose limits governing the required use of appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste treatment system were selected as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section ll.A. of Appendix 1, 10 CFR 50 for liquid effluents following the guidance given in NUREG-1301.

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

3. Basis for Gaseous Sampling, Analysis, and Radioactive Treatment System Use Paragraph (a)(2) of Part 50.36a provides that licensee will submit an annual report to the Commission which specifies the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released to unrestricted areas in gaseous effluents during the past 12 months of plant operation. The indicated gaseous surveillance programs (as directed by surveillance requirements for Radiological Effluent Controls in Sections III.D.2.a., IVD.2.a. and VD.2.a.)

provides the means to quantify and report on radioactive materials released to the atmosphere. As specified in Regulatory Guide 1.21, this program monitors all major and potentially significant paths for release of radioactive material in gaseous effluents during normal reactor operations, including anticipated operational occurrences. There are many minor release pathways which are not routinely monitored. The Millstone Effluent Control Program includes, as needed, evaluations to determine if any release point should be added to the REMODCM surveillance program. This information also provides for the assessment of effluent dose rates and environmental dose impacts for the purpose of demonstration compliance with the effluent limits of 10 CFR 20, and dose objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in gaseous waste samples are tabulated in terms of lower limits of detection (LLDs) and are selected, based on NUREG -1301, such that the detection of radioactivity in releases will occur at levels below which effluent offsite dose objectives would be exceeded. The indicated gaseous radwaste treatment equipment for each Unit have been determined, using the GALE code, to be capable to minimize radioactive gaseous effluents such that the dose objectives of Appendix I can be met for expected routine (and anticipated operational occurrence) effluent releases. This equipment is maintained and routinely operated to treat appropriate gaseous waste streams without regards to projected environmental doses.

If not already in use, the requirement that the appropriate portions of the gaseous radioactive waste treatment system for each Unit be returned to service when the specified effluent doses are exceeded provides assurance that the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This condition of equipment usage implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, and the design objective given in Section I.D.

of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The specified dose limits governing the required use of appropriate portions of the gaseous radwaste treatment system were selected as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.A. of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50 for gaseous effluents following the guidance in NUREG- 1301.

I.E. Radiological Environmental Monitoring

1. Sampling and Analysis The radiological sampling and analyses provide measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from plant operation. This monitoring program thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.

Program changes may be made based on operational experience.

The sampling and analyses shall be conducted as specified in Table I.E. -1 for the locations shown Table I.E.-2. Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment or other legitimate reasons. If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, every effort shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period.

All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Section I.F.1. It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to continue to obtain samples of the media of choice (excluding milk) at the most desired location or time. In these instances suitable alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathways in questions and appropriate substitutions made within 30 days in the radiological environmental monitoring program.

If milk samples are temporarily unavailable from any one or more of the milk sample locations required by Table I.E.-2, a grass sample shall be substituted during the growing season (Apr. - Dec.) and analyzed for gamma isotopes and 1-131 until milk is again available. Upon notification that milk samples will be unavailable for a prolonged period (>9 months) from any one or more of the milk sample locations required by Table I.E. -2, a suitable replacement milk location shall be evaluated and appropriate changes made in the radiological environmental monitoring program.

Reasonable attempts shall be made to sample the replacement milk location prior to the end of the next sampling period. Any of the above occurrences shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report, which is submitted to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission prior to May 1 of each year.

Changes to sampling locations shall be identified in a revised Table I.E.-2 and, as necessary, Figure(s) I.E. -1 through I.E.-3.

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 37 of 167

If the level of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium at one or more of the locations specified in Table I.E. -2 exceeds the report levels of Table I.E.-3 when averaged over any calendar quarter, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days from receipt of sample results, a Special Report which includes an evaluation of any release conditions, environmental factors or other aspects which caused the limits of Table I.E.-3 to be exceeded. When more than one of the radionuclides in Table I.E. -3 are detected in the sampling medium, this report shall be submitted if:

concentration (1) concentration (2) + ... > 1.0 reporting level (1) reporting level (2)

When radionuclides other than those in Table I.E.-3 are detected and are the result of plant effluents, this report shall be submitted if the potential annual dose to an individual is equal to or greater than the appropriate calendar year limit of the Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III.D.l.b.,

III.D.2.b., or III.D.2.c. for Unit 1; Sections IVD.I.b., IV.D.2.b., or IV.D.2.c.

for Unit 2; and Sections VD.I.b., V.D.2.b., or V.D.2.c. for Unit 3). This report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity was not the result of plant effluents, however, in such an event, the condition shall be reported and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

The detection capabilities required by Table I.E.-4 are state-of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. All analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

2. Land Use Census The land use census ensures that changes in the use of unrestricted areas are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The land use census shall be maintained and shall identify the location of the nearest resident, nearest garden*, and milk animals in each of the 16 meteorological sectors within a distance of five miles.

The validity of the land use census shall be verified within the last half of every year by either a door-to-door survey, aerial survey, consulting local agriculture authorities, or any combination of these methods.

With a land use census identifying a location(s) which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than the doses currently being calculated in the off-site dose models, make the appropriate changes in the sample locations used.

With a land use census identifying a location(s) which has a higher D/Q than a current indicator location the following shall apply:

1) If the D/Q is at least 20% greater than the previously highest D/Q, replace one of the present sample locations with the new one within 30 days if milk is available.
2) If the D/Q is not 20% greater than the previously highest D/Q, consider direction, distance, availability of milk, and D/Q in deciding whether to replace one of the existing sample locations. If applicable, replacement shall be within 30 days. If no replacement is made, sufficient justification shall be given in the annual report.

Sample location changes shall be noted in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

  • Broad leaf vegetation (a composite of at least 3 different kinds of vegetation) may be sampled at the site boundary in each of 2 different direction sectors with high D/Qs in lieu of a garden census.
3. Interlaboratory Comparison Program The Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of a quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are reasonably valid.

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 47 of 167

Analyses shall be performed on radioactive materials supplied as part of an Interlaboratory Comparison Program. A summary of the results obtained as part of the above required Interlaboratory Comparison Program shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

With analyses not being performed as required above, report the corrective actions taken to prevent a recurrence to the Commission in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

4. Bases for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Federal regulations (10 CFR Parts 20 and 50) require that radiological environmental monitoring programs be established to provide data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the site environs.

In addition, Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 requires that the relationship between quantities of radioactive material released in effluents during normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences, and the resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure be evaluated. The Millstone Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program (REMP) has been established to verify the effectiveness of in-plant measures used for controlling the release of radioactive materials from the plant, as well as provide for the comparison of measurable concentrations of radioactive materials found in the environment with expected levels based on effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.

The REMP detailed in Table I.E.- 1 provides measurements of radioactive materials or exposures in the environment along all principal exposure pathways to man that could be impacted by plant effluents. These include direct radiation exposure, inhalation exposure, and ingestion of food products (both aquatic and land grown). In addition, intermediate media such as vegetation and bottom sediments are included as potential early indicators of radioactive material buildup. The selections of sample locations include areas subject to plant effluents that would be expected to exhibit early indication of any buildup of plant related radioactive materials.

The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of lower limits of detection (LLDs). Except for Ba- 140 and La-140 in milk, the required LLDs are from NUREGs-1301 and 1302.

The NUREGs specify an LLD of 15 pCi/l for the parent-daughter combination of Ba-La-140. An LLD of 25 pCi/1 is specified for the daughter La-140 and 70 pCi/l for the parent Ba-140.

SECTION II.

Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)

For the Millstone Nuclear Power Station Nos. 1, 2, & 3 Docket Nos. 50-245, 50-336, 50-423 MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 52 of 167

SECTION II. OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM)

II.A. Introduction The purpose of the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (Section II of the REMODCM) is to provide the parameters and methods to be used in calculating offsite doses and effluent monitor setpoints at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station. Included are methods for determining maximum individual whole body and organ doses due to liquid and gaseous effluents to assure compliance with the regulatory dose limitations in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. Also included are methods for performing dose projections to assure compliance with the liquid and gaseous treatment system operability sections of the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Manual (REMM - Section I of the REMODCM). The manual also includes the methods used for determining quarterly and annual doses for inclusion in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

The bases for selected site-specific factors used in the dose calculation methodology are provided in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information."

Another section of this manual discusses the methods to be used in determining effluent monitor alarm/trip setpoints to be used to ensure compliance with the instantaneous release rate limits in Sections III.D.2.a., IVD.2.a., and VD.2.a.

This manual includes the methods to be used in performance of the surveillance requirements in the Radiological Effluent Controls of Sections III, IV, and V Appendix A, Tables App.A-1 provide a cross-reference of effluent requirements and applicable methodologies contained in the REMODCM.

Most of the calculations in this manual have several methods given for the calculation of the same parameter. These methods are arranged in order of simplicity and conservatism, Method 1 being the easiest and most conservative.

As long as releases remain low, one should be able to use Method 1 as a simple estimate of the dose. If release calculations approach the limit, however, more detailed yet less conservative calculations may be used. At any time a more detailed calculation may be used in lieu of a simple calculation.

This manual is written common to all three units since some release pathways are shared and there are also site release limits involved. These facts make it impossible to completely separate the three units.

II.B. Responsibilities All changes to the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) shall be reviewed and approved by the Facilities Safety Review Committee prior to implementation.

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 53 of 167

All changes and their rationale shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

It shall be the responsibility of the Site Vice President Millstone to ensure that this manual is used as required by the administrative controls of the Technical Specifications. The delegation of implementation responsibilities is delineated in the MP-22-REC-PRG, "Radiological Effluent Control."

II.C. Liquid Dose Calculations The determination of potential doses from liquid effluents to the maximum exposed member of the public is divided into two methods. Method I is a simplified calculation approach that is used as an operational tool to ensure that effluent releases as they occur are not likely to cause quarterly and annual offsite dose limits to be exceeded. Effluent doses are calculated at least once every 31 days. Method 2 is a more detailed computational calculation using accepted computer models to demonstrate actual regulatory dose compliance. Method 2 is used whenever the Method 1 estimation begins to approach a regulatory limit, and for preparation of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report, which includes the quarterly and annual dose impacts for all effluents recorded discharged to the environment during the year of record. Method 2 may be used in lieu of Method 1.

1. Whole Body Dose from Liquid Effluents Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III, IV, and V) limit the whole body dose to an individual member of the public to 1.5 mrem per calendar quarter and 3 mrem per year from liquid effluents released from each unit. (See Appendix A, Table App.A-1 for cross-reference effluent control requirements and applicable sections in the REMODCM which are used to determine compliance). In addition, installed portions of liquid radwaste treatment system are required to be operated to reduce radioactive materials in liquid effluents when the projected whole body dose over 31 days from applicable waste streams exceeds 0.006 mrem. This part of the REMODCM provides the calculation methodology for determining the whole body dose from radioactive materials released into liquid pathways of exposure associated with routine discharges. This includes the liquid pathways which contribute to the 25 mrem annual total dose limit (40 CFR190) to any real individual member of the public from all effluent sources (liquids, gases, and direct).
a. Method 1 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)

For Unit 1: No Method 1, use Method 2 (Section II.C.l.b.)

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 54 of 167

For Units 2 and 3:

Dw = 0.2 CF + 5.6 x 10-7 CH Where:

Dw= The estimated whole body dose to a potentially maximum exposed individual (in mrem) due to fission and activation products released in liquid effluents during a specified time period.

CF = total gross curies of fission and activation products, excluding tritium and dissolved noble gases, released during the period of interest.

CH = total curies of tritium released during the period of interest.

If Dw within a calendar quarter is greater than 0.5 mrem, go to Method 2.

b. Method 2 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)

If the calculated dose using Method 1 is greater than 0.5 mrem within a calendar quarter, or if a more accurate determination is desired, use the NRC computer code LADTAP II, or a code which uses the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109, to calculate the liquid whole body doses. Method 2 (LADTAP II) is also used in the performance of dose calculations for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. The use of this code is given in MP-22-REC-GDLO2, "Liquid Dose Calculations

- LADTAP-II." Additional information on LADTAPII is contained in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Manual."

2. Maximum Organ Dose from Liquid Effluents Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III, IV, and V) limit the maximum organ dose to an individual member of the public to 5 mrem per calendar quarter and 10 mrem per year from liquid effluents released from each unit.

(See Appendix A, Table App.A-1 for cross-reference effluent control requirements and applicable sections in the REMODCM which are used to determine compliance). In addition, installed portions of liquid radwaste treatment system are required to be operated to reduce radioactive materials in liquid effluents when the projected maximum organ dose over 31 days from applicable waste streams exceeds 0.02 mrem. This part of the REMODCM provides the calculation methodology for determining the maximum organ dose from radioactive materials released into liquid pathways of exposure associated with routine discharges. This includes the M[P-22-REC-BAPO1 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026 -02 55 of 167

liquid pathways which contribute to the 25 mrem annual organ (except 75 mrem thyroid) dose limit (40 CFR190) to any real individual member of the public from all effluent sources (liquids, gases, and direct).

a. Method 1 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)

For Unit 1: No Method 1, use Method 2 (Section II.C.2.b.)

For Units 2 and 3:

Do = 1.5 CF Where: Do =The estimated maximum organ dose to the potentially maximum exposed individual (in mrem) due to fission and activation products released in liquid effluents during a specified time period.

CF =total gross curies of fission and activation products, excluding tritium and dissolved noble gases, released during the period of interest - same asSection II.C.l.a.

If Do, within a calendar quarter is greater than 2 mrem, go to Method 2.

b. Method 2 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)

If the calculated dose using Method 1 is greater than 2 mrem, or if a more accurate determination is desired, use the NRC computer code LADTAP II, or a code which uses the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109, to calculate the liquid maximum organ doses. Method 2 (LADTAP II) is also used in the performance of dose calculations for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. The use of this code and the input parameters are given in MP-22-REC-GDLO2, "Liquid Dose Calculations - LADTAP-II." Additional information on LADTAPII is contained in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Manual."

3. Estimation of Annual Whole Body Dose (Applicable to All Units)

An estimation of annual (year-to-date) whole body dose (Dyw) from liquid effluents shall be made every month to determine compliance with the annual dose limits for each Unit which releases any radioactivity in liquid effluents. Annual doses will be determined as follows:

Dyw = -Dw Where the sum of the doses include the whole body dose contribution from all effluent releases for each Unit recorded to-date. For estimation of the MP REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 56 of 167

Total Dose requirements of 40CFRl90, the effluent releases from all three Units combined are used.

The following shall be used as Dwr

1) If the detailed quarterly dose calculations required per Section II.C.6.

for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report are completed for any calendar quarter, use that result.

2) If the detailed calculations are not complete for a particular quarter, use the results as determined in Section II.C. 1.
3) If the annual dose estimate, Dyw is greater than 3 mrem and any Dw determined as in Section II.C.1. was not calculated using Method 2 (i.e., LADTAP II computer code or a Regulatory Guide 1.109 code),

recalculate Dw using Method 2 if this could reduce Dyw to less than 3 mrem.

4. Estimation of Annual Maximum Organ Dose (Applicable to All Units)

An estimation of annual (year-to-date) maximum organ dose (Dyo) from liquid effluents shall be made every month to determine compliance with the annual dose limits for each Unit which releases any radioactivity in liquid effluents. Annual doses will be determined as follows:

DYo = IDo Where the sum of the doses include the maximum organ dose contribution from all effluent releases for each Unit recorded to-date. For estimation of the Total Dose requirements of 40CFR190, the effluent releases from all three Units combined are used.

The following guidelines shall be used:

1) If the detailed quarterly dose calculations required per Section II.C.6.

for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report are completed for any calendar quarter, use that result.

2) If the detailed calculations are not complete for a particular quarter, use the results as determined in Section II.C.2.
3) If different organs are the maximum for different quarters, they may be summed together and Dyo can be recorded as a less than value as long as the value is less than 10 mrem.

MP-22-REC-BAPO1 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 57 of 167

4) If Dyo is greater than 10 mrem and any value used in its determination was calculated as in Section II.C.2., but not with Method 2 (i.e.,

LADTAP II computer code or a Regulatory Guide 1.109 code),

recalculate that value using Method 2 if this could reduce Dyo to less than 10 mrem.

5. Monthly Dose ProjectionsSection I.C.2.a. of the REMM requires that certain portions of the liquid radwaste treatment equipment be used to reduce radioactive liquid effluents when the projected doses for each Unit (made at least once per 31 days) exceeds 0.006 mrem whole body or 0.02 mrem to any organ. The following methods are applied in the estimation of monthly dose projections:
a. Whole Body and Maximum Organ (Applicable to Unit I Only)

In the dose code DOSLIQ use concentrations of radionuclides in reactor cavity water and estimates of projected volumes and discharge rates for the following 31 days to estimate dose from liquid discharge of reactor cavity water in the following 31 days.

b. Whole Body and Maximum Organ when Steam Generator Total Gamma Activity is less than 5E-7 [tCi/ml and Steam Generator Tritium is less than 0.02 [tCi/ml (Applicable to Units 2 and 3)

The projected monthly whole body dose (Units 2 or 3) is determined from:

DEW = D'lv [R1 R 4 F21 The monthly projected maximum organ dose (Units 2 or 3) is determined from:

DEMo D'MO [R 1 R 4 F2 ]

Where:

D'MW =the whole body dose from the last typical previously completed month as calculated per the methods in Section II.C. 1.

D'MO = the maximum organ dose from the last typical previously completed month as calculated per the methods in Section II.C.2.

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 58 of 167

R1 = the ratio of the total estimated volume of liquid batches to be released in the present month to the volume released in the past month.

R4 = the ratio of estimated primary coolant activity for the present month to that for the past month.

F2 = the factor to be applied to the estimated ratio of final curies released if there are expected differences in treatment of liquid waste for the present month as opposed to the past month (e.g., bypass of filters or demineralizers).

NUREG-0017 or past experience shall be used to determine the effect of each form of treatment which will vary. F2 = 1 if there are no expected differences.

Notes:

1) The last month should be typical without significant operational differences from the projected month. If there were no releases during last month, do not use that month as the base month if it is estimated that there will be releases for the coming month.
2) If the last typical month's doses were calculated using LADTAP II (or similar methodology), also multiply the LADTAP (or similar methodology) doses by R 5 where R 5 =

total dilution flow from LADTAP run divided by estimated total dilution flow.

c. Whole Body and Maximum Organ when Steam Generator Total Gamma Activity Exceeds 5E-7 [tCi/ml or Steam Generator Tritium Exceeds 0.02

[tCi/ml (Applicable to Units 2 and 3)

The projected monthly whole body dose (Units 2 or 3) is determined from:

DEMw = D'MW [(1 - F 1) R1 R4 F2 + F1 R 2 R 3]

The monthly projected maximum organ dose (Units 2 or 3) is determined from:

DEMo= D'MO [(1 - Fl) R 1 R 4 F 2 + F 1 R2 R 31 MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 59 of 167

Where:

D'Mw= the whole body dose from the last typical previously completed month as calculated per the methods in Section II.C.1.

D'Mo=the maximum organ dose from the last typical previously completed month as calculated per the methods in Section II.C.2.

R, = the ratio of the total estimated volume of liquid batches to be released in the present month to the volume released in the past month.

R2 = the ratio of estimated volume of steam generator blowdown to be released in present month to the volume released in the past month.

F1 the fraction of curies released last month coming from steam generator blowdown calculated as:

curies from blowdown curies from blowdown + curies from batch tanks R3 = the ratio of estimated secondary coolant activity for the present month to that for the past month.

R4 = the ratio of estimated primary coolant activity for the present month to that for the past month.

F2 = the factor to be applied to the estimated ratio of final curies released if there are expected differences in treatment of liquid waste for the present month as opposed to the past month (e.g., bypass of filters or demineralizers).

NUREG-0017 or past experience shall be used to determine the effect of each form of treatment which will vary. F 2 = 1 if there are no expected differences.

6. Quarterly Dose Calculations for Radioactive Effluent Release Report Detailed quarterly dose calculations required for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report shall be done using the NRC computer code LADTAP II, or a code which uses the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109 and NUREG-0133. The use of LADTAP II code, and the input parameters are given in MP-22-REC-GDLO2, "Liquid Dose Calculations - LADTAP II." Use of a code using the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109 and NUREG-0133 is described in MP-22-REC-GDLO3, "Liquid Dose MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 60 of 167

Calculations -DOSLIQ." Additional information on liquid dose calculations is contained in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Manual."

7. Bases for Liquid Pathway Dose Calculations The dose calculation methodology and parameters used in Section II of the REMODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I (10CFR50) which states that conformance with the dose objectives of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of a member of the public through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose estimations calculated by both Method 1 and Method 2 are based on the liquid models presented in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1; "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10CFR Part 50, Appendix I". These equations are implemented via the use of the NRC sponsored computer code LADTAP II. Input parameter values typically used in the dose models are listed in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document."

This same methodology is used in the determination of compliance with the 40CFR190 total dose standard for the liquid pathways.

The conversion constants in the Method 1 equations are based on the maximum observed comparison of historical effluent releases for each unit and corresponding whole body or critical organ doses to a maximum individual. The dose conversion factors are calculated based on the ratio of the observed highest dose (whole body and organ) and the curies of fission and activation products released during the period. This ratio results in the Method 1 equation conversion factor in mrem/Ci released. This same approach was repeated separately for tritium (as a different radionuclide class) discharged in liquids wastes. MP-22-REC-REF03 describes the derivation of the Method 1 constants and list the historical whole body and maximum organ doses calculated for each unit operation.

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEWRev. 026-02 61 of 167

II.D. Gaseous Dose Calculations The determination of potential release rates and doses from radioactive gaseous effluents to the maximum off-site receptor are divided into two methods. Method 1 provides simplified operational tools to ensure that effluent releases are not likely to cause quarterly and annual off-site dose or dose rate limits to be exceeded. Effluent doses are calculated at least once every 31 days. Method 2 provides for a more detailed computational calculation using accepted computer models to demonstrate actual regulatory compliance. Method 2 is used whenever the Method 1 estimation approaches a regulatory limit, and for preparation of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report which includes the quarterly and annual dose impacts for all effluents recorded discharged to the atmosphere during the year of record. Method 2 may be used in lieu of Method 1.

1. Site Release Rate Limits ("Instantaneous")

Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III, IV, and V) for each unit require that the instantaneous off-site dose rates from noble gases released to the atmosphere be limited such that they do not exceed 500 mrem/year at any time to the whole body or 3000 mrem/year to the skin at any time from the external cloud. For iodine-131, 133, tritium, and particulates (half-lives >

8 days), the inhalation pathway critical organ dose rate from all units shall not exceed 1500 mrem/year at any time. These limits apply to the combination of releases from all three Units on the site, and are directly related to the radioactivity release rates measured for each Unit. By limiting gaseous release rates for both classes of radionuclides (i.e., noble gases; and iodines, tritium, and particulates) to within values which correlate to the above dose rate limits, assurance is provided that the Radiological Effluent Controls dose rate limits are not exceeded.

a. Method 1 for Noble Gas Release Rate Limits Instantaneous noble gas release rate for the site:

QO /90,000 +Q2s/560,000 + Q2v/ 2 9 0,000 + Q3s/ 5 6 0,000 + Q3v/ 2 9 0,000 < 1 Where:

Qv = Noble gas release rate from Spent Fuel Pool Island Vent

([Ci/sec)

Q2S = Noble gas release rate from MP2 to Millstone Stack ([Ci/sec)

Q2v = Noble gas release rate from MP2 Vent ([tCi/sec)

Q3v = Noble gas release rate from MP3 Vent ([Ci/sec)

Q3s = Noble gas release rate from MP3 to Millstone Stack ([Ci/sec)

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 62 of 167

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

b. Method 1 Release Rate Limit 131, 1-i33, H-3 and Particulates Half Lives Greater Than 8 Days With releases satisfying the following limit conditions, the dose rate to the maximum organ will be less than 1500 mrem/year from the inhalation pathway:
1) Site release rate of 1-131, 1-133, and tritium (where the thyroid is the critical organ for these radionuclides):

DRthyl + DRthy2 + DRthy3 <__1 Where the contribution from each Unit is calculated from:

Unit 1: DRthyl = 9.36 x 10-6 QH1V Unit 2: DRthy2 = 5.1 x 10-2 131Q12v + 2.38 x 10-3 131Q12s +

1.25 x 10- 133Q13v +5.75 x 10-4 133Q13S +

4.2 x 10-6 QH3V + 1.9 x 10-7 QH3S

2) Site release rate of particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days and tritium (where the critical organ is a composite of target organs for a mix of radionuclides):

DRorgi + DRorg2 + DRorg3 < 1 Where the contribution from each Unit is calculated from:

Unit l:DRorgl = 1.05 x 10-1 [Qplv + QP1B ]+9.36x 10-6 QH1V Unit 2:DRorg2 = 2.38 x 10-3 QP2S + 5.1 x 10-2 QP2V + 1.9 x 10-7 QH2S + 4.1 x 10-6 QH2V Unit 3:DRorg3 = 2.38 x 10-3 QP3S + 5.1 x 10-2 QP3V +

1.9 x 10-7 QH3S + 4.1 x 10-6 QH3V MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 63 of 167

c. Method 2 The above Method 1 equations assume a conservative nuclide mix. If necessary, utilize the GASPAR, or a code which uses the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109, code to estimate the dose rate from either noble gases or iodines, tritium, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days. The use of the code is described in MP-22-REC-GDL04, "Gaseous Dose Calculations - GASPARII."

Additional information on GASPAR is contained in the MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Manual."

2. 10 CFR50 Appendix I - Noble Gas Limits Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III, IV, and V) limit the off-site air dose from noble gases released in gaseous effluents to 5 mrad gamma and 10 mrad beta for a calendar quarter (10 and 20 mrad gamma and beta, respectively, per calendar year). Effluent dose calculations are calculated at least once every 31 days. In addition, installed portions of the gaseous radwaste treatment system are required to be operated to reduce radioactive materials in gaseous effluents when the projected doses over 31 days from the applicable waste stream exceed 0.02 mrad air gamma or 0.04 mrad air beta. (See Appendix A, Tables App.A- 1 for a cross reference of effluent control requirements and applicable sections of the REMODCM which are used to determine compliance.) This part of the REMODCM provides the calculation methodology for determining air doses from noble gases.
a. Method 1 Air Dose* (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)

For Unit 1: DG1 = 3.3 x 10-6 CN1V*

DB1 = 1.49 x 10-3 CN1V*

If the calculated air dose exceeds one half the quarterly Radiological Effluent Control limit, use meteorology concurrent with quarter of release.

c. Estimation of Annual Air Dose Limit Due to Noble Gases (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)

An estimation of annual (year-to-date) beta and gamma air doses (DyB and DYG, respectively) from noble gases released from Units 1, 2 and 3 shall be made every month to determine compliance with the annual dose limits for each Unit. Annual air doses will be determined as follows:

Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 DYG1 = JDG1 DYG2 = 7DG2 DYG3 = JDG3 DyBI = JDB1 DYB2 = JDB2 DYB3 = JDB3 Where the sums are over the first quarter (i.e., summation of the all release periods within the quarter) through the present calendar quarter doses.

Where: DYGI, DYG2, DYG3, DyB, DYB2 and DYB3 = gamma air dose and beta air dose for the calendar year for Unit 1, 2, or 3.

The following shall be used as the quarterly doses:

(1) If the detailed quarterly dose calculations required per Section ll.D.5. for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report are complete for any calendar quarter, use those results.

(2) If the detailed calculations are not complete for a particular quarter, use the results as determined above in Sections II.D.2.a. or II.D.2.b.

If DYG1, YG2 or YG3 are greater than 10 mrad or DyBj, YB2 or YB3 are greater than 20 mrad and any corresponding quarterly dose was not calculated using Method 2 (Section II.D.2.b.), recalculate the quarterly dose using meteorology concurrent with quarter of release.

3. 10 CFR50 Appendix I - Iodine, Tritium and Particulate Doses Radiological Effluent Controls (Section III, IV, and V) limit the off- site dose to a critical organ from radioiodines, tritium, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days released in gaseous effluents to 7.5 mrem for a calendar quarter (15 mrem per calendar year). Effluent dose calculations are performed at least once every 31 days. In addition, installed portions of the gaseous radwaste treatment system are required to be operated to reduce radioactive materials in gaseous effluents when the projected doses over 31 days from the applicable waste stream exceed 0.03 mrem. (See Appendix A, Table App.A- 1 for a cross reference of effluent control requirements and applicable sections of the REMODCM which are used to determine compliance.)

c. Estimation of Annual Critical Organ Doses Due to lodines, Tritium and Particulates (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)

An estimation of annual (year-to-date) critical organ doses (DyT and Dyo for thyroid and maximum organ other than thyroid, respectively) from radioiodine, tritium and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days released from Units 1, 2 and 3 shall be made every month to determine compliance with the annual dose limits for each Unit. Annual critical organ doses will be determined as follows:

Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 DyT1 = JDT1 DYG2 = YDT2 DYT3 = JDT3 Dyox = JDo1 Dy02 = ED 0 2 DYo3 = ED03 Where the sums are over the first quarter (i.e., summation of the all release periods within the quarter) through the present calendar quarter doses.

Where:

4. Gaseous Effluent Monthly Dose ProjectionsSection I.D.2.a. of the REMM requires that certain portions of the gaseous radwaste treatment equipment be returned to service to reduce radioactive gaseous effluents when the projected doses for each Unit (made at least once per 31 days) exceed 0.02 mrad gamma air, 0.04 mrad beta air, or 0.03 mrem to any organ from gaseous effluents. The following methods are applied in the estimation of monthly dose projections.
a. Unit 1 Projection Method None required.
b. Unit 2 Projection Method
1) Due to Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System (Unit 2)

Determine the beta and gamma monthly air dose projection from noble gases from the following:

DEMG (mrad) = 1.81 x 10-4 CEN DEMB (mrad) = 1.81 x 10-6 CEN Where:

CEN = the number of curies of noble gas estimated to be released from the waste gas storage tanks during the next month.

DEMG = the estimated monthly gamma air dose.

DEMB= the estimated monthly beta air dose.

(The dose conversion factor is from MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document," Section 4.2, for the Millstone Stack releases since the Unit 2 waste gas tanks are discharged via the Millstone Stack. This factor is conservative because the isotopic mix assumed for the dose conversion factor consists of shorter-lived noble gases which have higher dose conversion factors than the typical mix from Unit 2 waste gas tank discharges.)

2) (Reserved)
3) Due to Ventilation Releases (Unit 2)

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 73 of 167

If portions of the ventilation treatment system are expected to be out of service during the month, determine the monthly maximum organ dose projection (DEMO) from the following:

i. Method 1 Determine DEMO which is the estimated monthly dose to the maximum organ from the following:

DEMO = 1/3 R1 (1.01- R2 ) (R3+ 0.01) Do For the last quarter of operation, determine Do as determined per Section II.D.3.b.

R1 = the expected reduction factor for the HEPA filter.

Typically this should be 100 (see NUREG-0016 or 0017 for additional guidance).

R2 = the fraction of the time which the equipment was inoperable during the last quarter.

R3 = the fraction of the time which the equipment is expected to be inoperable during the next month.

ii. Method 2 If necessary, estimate the curies expected to be released for the next month and applicable method for dose calculation from Section II.D.3.b.

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 74 of 167

c. Unit 3 Projection Method
1) Due to Radioactive Gaseous Waste System (Unit 3)

Determine the beta and gamma monthly air dose projection from noble gases from the following:

DEMG (mrad) = 1.81 x 10-4 CEN DEMB (mrad) = 1.81 x 10-6 CEN Where:

CEN = the number of curies of noble gas estimated to be released from the reactor plant gaseous vents to the Millstone stack (the activity from this pathway increases when the process waste gas system is out of service.) during the next month.

DEMG =the estimated monthly gamma air dose.

DEMB == the estimated monthly beta air dose.

(The dose conversion factor is from the MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document," for the Millstone Stack releases since the Unit 3 reactor plant gaseous vents are discharged via the Millstone Stack.)

5. Quarterly Dose Calculations for Radioactive Effluent Release Report Detailed quarterly gaseous dose calculations required for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report' shall be done using the computer code GASPAR, or a code which use the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109 and NUREG-0133. The use of LADTAP II code and the input parameters are given in MP-22-REC-GDLO4, "Gaseous Dose Calculations - GASPARII." Use of a code using the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109 and NUREG-0133 is described in MP-22-REC-GDLO5," Gaseous Dose Calculations - DOSAIR."

6. Compliance with 40CFR190 The following sources shall be considered in determining the total dose to a real individual from uranium fuel cycle sources:
a. Gaseous Releases from Units 1, 2, and 3.
b. Liquid Releases from Units 1, 2, and 3.
c. Direct and Scattered Radiation from Radioactive Material on Site.
d. Since all other uranium fuel cycle sources are greater than 5 miles away, they need not be considered.

The Radiological Effluent Controls in Sections III.E. (Unit 1), IVE. (Unit 2), and VE. (Unit 3) contain specific requirements for ensuring compliance with 40CFR190 based on gaseous and liquid doses (sources a and b).

Doses to source c are controlled by design and operations to ensure the off- site dose from each radwaste storage facility is less than one mrem per year. Potential doses from each facility are evaluated in Radiological Environmental Reviews (RERs) where total off-site doses from all sources are considered to ensure compliance with 40CFR190.

7. Bases for Gaseous Pathway Dose Calculations The dose calculation methodology and parameters used in Section II of the REMODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A. of Appendix I (10CFR50) which states that conformance with the ALARA dose objectives of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of a member of the public through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated.

Operational flexibility is provided by controlling the instantaneous release rate of noble gas (as well as iodines and particulate activity) such the maximum off-site dose rates are less than the equivalent of 500 mrem/year to the whole body, 3000 mrem/year to the skin from noble gases, or 1500 mrem/year to a critical organ from the inhalation of iodines, tritium and particulates. The dose rate limits are based on the 10CFR20 annual dose limits, but applied as an instantaneous limit to assure that the actual dose over a year will be well below these numbers.

The equivalent instantaneous release rate limits for Millstone Stack were determined using the EPA AIREM code. For Units 2 & 3, these doses were calculated using the NRC GASPAR code. The AIREM code calculates cloud gamma doses using dose tables from a model that considers the finite extent of the cloud in the vertical direction. Beta doses are calculated assuming semi-infinite cloud concentrations, which are based upon a MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 76 of 167

standard sector averaged diffusion equation. The GASPAR code implements the models of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10CFR Part 50, Appendix I." Input parameter values typically used in the dose models are listed in MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document." This same methodology is used in the determination of compliance with the 40CFR190 total dose standard for the gaseous pathways.

In the determination of compliance with the dose and dose rate limits, maximum individual dose calculations are performed at the nearest land site boundary with maximum decayed X/Q, and at the nearest vegetable garden (assumed to be nearest residence) and cow and goat farms with maximum D/Qs. The conversion constants in the Method 1 equations for maximum air doses, organ and whole body doses, and dose rates are based on the maximum observed comparison of historical effluent releases and corresponding calculated maximum doses. The dose conversion factors are calculated based on the ratio of the observed highest dose and the curies of fission and activation products released during the period. This ratio results in the Method 1 equation conversion factor in mrem/Ci released.

MP-22-REC-REF02 describes the derivation of the Method 1 constants and list the historical maximum doses calculated for the maximum organ.

II.E. Liquid Discharge Flow Rates And Monitor Setpoints

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

STEP 1:

From the isotopic analysis and the Effluent Concentration (EC) values for each identified nuclide determine the required reduction factor, i.e.:

R = Required Reduction Factor = o1 tý,iof nuclide i 10 x EC of nuclide i STEP 2:

Determine the allowable discharge flow (F)

F = 0.1 x RxD Where:

D= The existing dilution flow which is the any dilution flow from Millstone Unit 2 and/or Unit 3 not being credited for any other radioactivity discharge during discharge of Unit 1 water.

0.1 = safety factor to limit discharge concentration to 10% of the Radiological Effluent Control Limit.

STEP 3:

Calculate the monitor setpoint as follows:

Rset = 2 x AC x RCF Where:

Rset = The setpoint of the monitor.

AC = The total radwaste effluent concentration ([tCi/ml ) in the tank.

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 78 of 167

RCF = The response correction factor for the effluent line monitor using the current calibration factor or isotopic- specific responses.

2 = Tolerance limit which brings the setpoint at twice the expected response of the monitor based on sample analysis. With the safety factor of 0.1 the setpoint would be at 20% of the Radiological Effluent Control Limit.

Option setpoint:

A setpoint based upon worst case conditions may be used. Assume the maximum possible discharge flow, a minimum dilution flow not to exceed 100,000 gpm, and a limit of 1 x 10-7 [tCi/ml which is lower than any 10CFR20 EC limit except for transuranics. This will assure that low level releases are not terminated due to small fluctuations in activity. When using this option setpoint independent verification of discharge lineup shall be performed.

The optional setpoint may be adjusted (increased or decreased) by factors to account for the actual discharge flow and actual dilution flow; however, controls shall be established to ensure that the allowable discharge flow is not exceeded and the dilution flow is maintained.

2. Reserved
3. Unit 2 Clean Liquid Radwaste Effluent Line - RM9049 and Aerated Liquid Radwaste Effluent Line - RM9116 The setpoint on the Unit 2 clean and aerated liquid waste effluent lines depend on dilution water flow, radwaste discharge flow, the isotopic composition of the liquid, the background count rate of the monitor and the efficiency of the monitor. Due to the variability of these parameters, an alarm/trip setpoint will be determined prior to the release of each batch.

The following method will be used:

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 79 of 167

STEP 1:

From the tank isotopic analysis and the Effluent Concentrations (EC) in 10CFR20, App. B, Table 2, Col. 2 for each identified nuclide determine the required reduction factor, i.e.:

For Nuclides Other Than Noble Gases:

R1 = Required Reduction Factor =n1

,d-ofnuclide i 10 x EC of nuclide i For Noble Gases: If the noble gas concentration is less than 1.1 x 10-2 PCi/ml, the reduction factor need not be determined. This concentration is based on 175 gpm discharge flow, 100,000 gpm dilution flow, and a safety factor of 0.1 (See Note below.) If dilution flow is less than 100,000 gpm, the noble gas concentration limit shall be decreased by the ratio of actual dilution flow to 100,000gpm. For example, if dilution flow is 50,000 gpm, the limit would be reduced by a factor of 0.5 (50,000/100,000). I 2 x 10-41"i R2 Required Reduction Factor = ='i 1 of noble gases 7 -noble ml gases

/_, 2 x m04--l R = the smaller of R 1 or R 2 STEP 2:

Determine the allowable discharge flow (F) in gpm:

F = 0.1xRxD Where:

D = the existing dilution flow (D) from circulating and service water pumps. It may include any Unit 3 flow not being credited for dilution of a Unit 3 discharge during the time of the Unit 2 discharge.

  • MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 80 of 167

NOTE Note that discharging at this flow rate would yield a discharge concentration corresponding to 10% of the Radiological Effluent Control Limit due to the safety factor of 0.1.

With this condition on discharge flow rate met, the monitor setpoint can be calculated:

Rset = 2 x AC x RF (See Note 1 below.)

Where:

Rset = the setpoint of the monitor (cpm).

AC = the total radwaste effluent concentration ([tCi/ml) in the tank.

RF = the response factor for the effluent line monitor using the current calibration factor or isotopic-specific responses.

2 = the multiple of expected count rate on the monitor based on the radioactivity concentration in the tank.

This value or that corresponding to 5.6 x 10-5 [tCi/ml (Note 2 below),

whichever is greater, plus background is the trip setpoint. For the latter setpoint, independent valve verification shall be performed and minimum dilution flow in Note 2 shall be verified and if necessary, appropriately adjusted.

Note 1: If discharging at the allowable discharge rate (F) as determined in above, this setpoint would correspond to 20% of the Radiological Effluent Control limit.

M[P-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 81 of 167

Note 2: This value is based upon assuming maximum discharge flow (175 gpm), dilution water flow of 100,000 gpm and a limit of 1 x 10- 7 which is lower than any Technical Specification limit (ten times 10CFR20 L

EC values) except for transuranics. This will assure that low level releases are not terminated due to small fluctuations in activity.

However, to verify that the correct tank is being discharged when using this value, independent valve verification shall be performed.

This value may be adjusted (increased or decreased) by factors to account for the actual discharge flow and actual dilution flow; however, controls shall be established to ensure that the allowable discharge flow is not exceeded and the dilution flow is maintained.

Dilution flow may include any Unit 3 flow not being credited for dilution of a Unit 3 discharge during the time of the Unit 2 discharge.

If the grab sample is less than 5 x 10-7 [tCi/ml, use a setpoint of the lower of ten times background or the value as specified in II.E.3. A setpoint based on ten times background shall not exceed a reading corresponding to 2.8 x 10-5 [Ci/ml, which is approximately 6,300 CPM based on recent calibration data.

5. Unit 2 Steam Generator Blowdown - RM4262 and Unit 2 Steam Generator Blowdown Effluent Concentration Limitation 5a. Unit 2 Steam Generator Blowdown - RM4262 Assumptions used in determining the Alarm setpoint for this monitor are:
a. Total S.G. blowdown flow rate = 700 gpm.
b. Minimum circulating water dilution flow during periods of blowdown = 100,000 gpm. j0
c. The release rate limit is conservatively set at 3 x 10-8 [tCi/ml which is lower than any 10CFR20 Effluent Concentration (EC) limit except for some transuranics *

This alarm criteria is typically more restrictive than that required to meet discharge limits. This fact shall be verified, however, whenever the alarm setpoint is recalculated.

  • In lieu of using 3 x 10-8 [tCi/ml, the identified EC limits from 10CFR20 may be used.
    • Background of monitor at monitor location (i.e., indication provided by system monitor with no activity present in the monitored system).

5b. Unit 2 Steam Generator Blowdown Effluent Concentration Limitation The results of analysis of blowdown samples required by Table I.C.-2 of Section I of the REMODCM shall be used to ensure that blowdown effluent releases do not exceed ten times the concentration limits in 10CFR20, Appendix B.

7. Unit 2 Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water RM6038 and Unit 2 Service Water, and RBCCW Sump and Turbine Building Sump Effluent Concentration Limitation 7a. Unit 2 Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water RM6038 The purpose of the Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW) radiation monitor is to give warning of abnormal radioactivity in the RBCCW system and to prevent releases to the Service Water system which, upon release to the environment, would exceed ten times the concentration values in 10CFR20. According to Calculation RERM-02665-R2, radioactivity in RBCCW water which causes a monitor response of greater than the setpoint prescribed below could exceed ten times thelOCFR20 concentrations upon release to the Service Water system.

SETPOINT DURING POWER OPERATIONS:

To give adequate warning of abnormal radioactivity, the setpoint shall be two times the radiation monitor background reading, provided that the MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 84 of 167

background reading does not exceed 2,000 cpm. The monitor background reading shall be the normal monitor reading. If the monitor background reading exceeds 2,000 cpm, the setpoint shall be set at the background reading plus 2,000 cpm and provisions shall be made to adjust the setpoint if the background decreases.

SETPOINT DURING SHUTDOWN:

1) During outages not exceeding three months the setpoint shall be two times the radiation monitor background reading, provided that the background reading does not exceed 415 cpm. If the monitor background reading exceeds 415 cpm, the setpoint shall be set at the background reading plus 415 cpm and provisions shall be made to adjust the setpoint if the background decreases.
2) During extended outages exceeding three months, but not exceeding three years, the setpoint shall be two times the radiation monitor background reading, provided that the background reading does not exceed 80 cpm. If the monitor background reading exceeds 80 cpm, the setpoint shall be set at the background reading plus 80 cpm and provisions shall be made to adjust the setpoint if the background decreases.

PROVISIONS FOR ALTERNATE DILUTION FLOWS:

These setpoints are based on a dilution flow of 4,000 gpm from one service water train. If additional dilution flow is credited, the setpoint may be adjusted proportionately. For example, the addition of a circulating water pump dilution flow of 100,000 gpm would allow the setpoint to be increased by a factor of 25.

7b. Unit 2 Service Water, and RBCCW Sump and Turbine Building Sump Effluent Concentration Limitation Results of analyses of service water, RBCCW sump and turbine building sump samples taken in accordance with Table I.C. -2 of Section I of the REMODCM shall be used to limit radioactivity concentrations in the service water, RBCCW sump and turbine building sump effluents to less than ten times the limits in 10CFR20, Appendix B.

8. Unit 3 Liquid Waste Monitor - LWS-RE70 The setpoints on the Unit 3 liquid waste monitor depend on dilution water flow, radwaste discharge flow, the isotopic composition of the liquid, the background count rate of the monitor and the efficiency of the monitor. Due to the variability of these parameters, the alert and alarm setpoints will be determined prior to the release of each batch. The following method will be used:

Step 1:

From the tank isotopic analysis and the Effluent Concentration (EC) values for each identified nuclide determine the required reduction factor, i.e.:

For Nuclides Other Than Noble Gases:

R1 = Required Reduction Factor = ci of nuclide i M!ý"

110 x EC of nuclide i For Noble Gases: If the noble gas concentration is less than 0.013 1tCi/ml, the reduction factor need not be determined. This concentration is based on 0 100,00 gpm dilution flow and a safety factor of 0.1 (See Note Below.) If dilution flow is less than 100,000 gpm, the noble gas concentration limit shall be decreased by the ratio of actual dilution flow to 100,000gpm. For example, if dilution flow is 50,000 gpm, the limit would be reduced by a factor of 0.5 (50,000/100,000).

R2 = Required Reduction Factor = 1n 2 x 10 -n4olgs

ý',l ynoble gases I

2 x 10

  • R = the smaller of R1 or R2 Step 2:

Determine the allowable discharge flow (F)

F = 0.lxRxD Where:

D = The existing dilution flow (D) from circulating and service water pumps.

It may include any Unit 2 flow not being credited for dilution of a Unit 2 discharge during the time of the Unit 3 discharge.

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 86 of 167

NOTE Note that discharging at this flow rate would yield a discharge concentration corresponding to 10% of the Radiological Effluent Control Limit due to the safety factor of 0.1.

With this condition on discharge flow rate met, the monitor setpoint can be calculated:

Rset = 2 x AC x RCF (see Note 1)

Where:

Rset= The setpoint of the monitor.

AC= The total radwaste effluent concentration ([tCi/ml ) in the tank.

RCF= The response correction factor for the effluent line monitor using the current calibration factor or isotopic-specific responses.

2 = The multiple of expected count rate on the monitor based on the radioactivity concentration in the tank.

This value, or that corresponding to 6.6 x 10-5 [tCi/ml (Note 2 below),

whichever is greater, plus background is the trip setpoint. For the latter setpoint, independent valve verification shall be performed and minimum dilution flow in Note 2 shall be verified and if necessary, appropriately adjusted.

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 87 of 167

NOTE

1. If discharging at the allowable discharge rate (F) as determined above, this Alarm setpoint would yield a discharge concentration corresponding to 20% of the Radiological Effluent Control limit.
2. This value is based upon assuming maximum discharge flow (150 gpm), dilution water flow of 100,000 gpm, and a limit of 1 x 1i0-7 tCi/ml which is lower than any Technical Specification limit (ten times 10CFR20 EC values) except for transuranics. This will assure that low level releases are not terminated due to small fluctuations in activity.

However, to verify that the correct tank is being discharged when using this value, independent valve verification shall be performed. This value may be adjusted (increased or decreased) by factors to account for the actual discharge flow and actual dilution flow; however, controls shall be established to ensure that the allowable discharge flow is not exceeded and the dilution flow is maintained. Dilution flow may include Unit 2 flow not being credited for dilution of a Unit 2 discharge during the time of the Unit 3 discharge.

9. Unit 3 Regenerant Evaporator Effluent Line - LWC-RE65 The MP3 Regenerant Evaporator has been removed from service with DCR M3-97-041. Therefore a radiation monitor alarm is not needed.
10. Unit 3 Waste Neutralization Sump Effluent Line - CND-RE07 Same asSection II.E.8.
11. Unit 3 Steam Generator Blowdown - SSR-RE08 and Unit 3 Steam Generator Blowdown Effluent Concentration Limitation 11a. Unit 3 Steam Generator Blowdown - SSR-RE08 The alarm setpoint for this monitor assumes:
a. Steam generator blowdown rate of 400 gpm (maximum blowdown total including weekly cleaning of generators - per ERC 25212-ER-99-0133).
b. The release rate limit is conservatively set at 3 x 10-8 [Ci/ml which is well below any 10CFR20 Effluent Concentration except for transuranics*.
c. Circulating and service water dilution flow during periods of blowdown = 100,000 gpm. tD MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 88 of 167

The amount of the increase would correspond to the ratio of flows to those assumed above or:

Background = 3x10 1uCi/ml x circulating & service water flow (gpm) + Background total S/G blowdown (gpm)

NOTE The Steam Generator Blowdown alarm criteria is in practice based on setpoints required to detect allowable levels of primary to secondary leakage. This alarm criteria is typically more restrictive than that required to meet discharge limits. This fact shall be verified, however, whenever the alarm setpoint is recalculated.

  • In lieu of using 3 x 10-8 [tCi/ml, ten times the identified 10CFR20 EC values may be used.

1lb. Unit 3 Steam Generator Blowdown Effluent Concentration Limitation The results of analysis of blowdown samples required by Table I.C.-3 of Section I of the REMODCM shall be used to ensure that blowdown effluent releases do not exceed ten times the concentration limits in 10CFR20, Appendix B.

12. Unit 3 Turbine Building Floor Drains Effluent Line - DAS-RE50 and Unit 3 Service Water and Turbine Building Sump Effluent Concentration Limitation 12a. Unit 3 Turbine Building Floor Drains Effluent Line - DAS-RE50 The alarm setpoint for this monitor shall be set to four times (4X) the reading of the monitor when there is no gamma radioactivity present in the turbine building sumps. As determined in Calculation RERM-04101R3, the setpoint shall not exceed 1.4 x 10-5 [tCi/ml.

12b. Unit 3 Service Water and Turbine Building Sump Effluent Concentration Limitation Results of analyses of service water and turbine building sump samples taken in accordance with Table I.C.-3 of Section I of the REMODCM shall be used to limit radioactivity concentrations in the service water and turbine building sump effluents to less than ten times the limits in 10CFR20, Appendix B.

13. Bases for Liquid Monitor Setpoints Liquid effluent monitors are provided on discharge pathways to control, as applicable, the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases of liquid waste to the environment. The alarm I trip setpoints are calculated to ensure that the alarm / trip function of the monitor will occur prior to exceeding ten times the Effluent Concentration (EC) limits of 10 CFR 20 (Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2), which applies to the release of radioactive materials from all units on the site. This limitation also provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in Unrestricted Areas will result in exposures within the Section II.A. design objectives of Appendix I to 10CFR50 to a member of the public.

In application, the typical approach is to determine the expected concentration in a radioactive release path and set the allowable discharge rate past the monitor such the existing dilution flow will limit the effluent release concentration to 10% of the limit for the mix. The setpoint is then selected to be only 2 times the expected concentration, or 20% of the limit.

As a result, considerable margin is included in the selection of the setpoint for the monitor to account for unexpected changes in the discharge concentration or the contribution from other potential release pathways occurring at the same time as the planned effluent release. For those monitors on systems that are not expected to be contaminated, the alarm point is usually selected to be two times the ambient background to give notice that normal conditions may have changed and should be evaluated.

II.E Gaseous Monitor Setpoints

1. Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pool Island Monitor - RM-SFPI-02 The instantaneous release rate limit from the site shall be set in accordance with the conditions given in Section II.D.l.a. in order to satisfy Unit 1 Radiological Effluent Controls III.C.2. and III.D.2.a.

The Unit 1 allocated portion of the site instantaneous release rate limit is 30,000 [tCi/sec. This assumes that 7% of the site limit for skin dose of 3000 mrem per year is assigned to the Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pool Island vent. If effluent conditions from the Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pool Island vent reach 30,000 RCi/sec, releases from Units 2 and 3 vents and from the Millstone Stack shall be determined to ensure that the sum of the individual noble gas release rates do not cause the site skin dose limit to be exceeded. Use Section II.D.l.a. and Section 4.2 of MP-22-REC-REF03. "REMODCM Technical Information Document," in making this determination.

The alarm setpoint shall be set at or below the monitor reading in ýtCi/cc corresponding to the Unit 1 portion of the limit. The setpoint shall be set at or below 1.71E-3 [tCi/cc. NOTE: This setpoint is the basis for emergency classification in Unit 1 EAL Table (OA- I and OU- 1). A change to this setpoint would require a concurrent change to the EAL.

2. Unit 2 Wide Range Gas Monitor (WRGM) - RM8169 The instantaneous release rate limit from the site shall be set in accordance with the conditions given in Section II.D.l.a. in order to satisfy Units 2 Radiological Effluent Controls IVC.2. and IVD.2.a.

For releases from Unit 2 to the Millstone Stack, the allocated portion of the site instantaneous release rate limit is 72,000 [tCi/sec. This assumes that 13%

of the site limit is assigned to Unit 2 releases to the Millstone Stack. If effluent conditions from Unit 2 releases to the Millstone Stack reach 72,000 [tCi/sec, releases from Units 1, 2, and 3 vents and from Unit 3 releases to the Millstone Stack shall be determined to ensure that the sum of the individual noble gas release rates do not cause the site limit to be exceeded.

Use Section II.D.l.a. and Section 4.2 of MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document,"

in making this determination.

The alarm setpoint shall be set at or below the monitor reading in [ICi/cc corresponding to the Unit 2 release to the stack portion of the limit. The setpoint shall be set at or below 1.3E-2 RtCi/cc.

4. Unit 3 SLCRS - HVR-RE19B The instantaneous release rate limit from the site shall be set in accordance with the conditions given in Section II.D.l.a. in order to satisfy Unit 3 Radiological Effluent Controls VC.2. and VD.2.a.

For releases from Unit 3 to the Millstone Stack, the allocated portion of the site instantaneous release rate limit is 72,000 [tCi/sec. This assumes that 13%

of the site limit is assigned to Unit 3 releases to the Millstone Stack. If effluent conditions from Unit 3 releases to the Millstone Stack reach 72,000 [tCi/sec, releases from Units 1 and 2 vents, Unit 3 ESF vent and from Unit 2 releases to the Millstone Stack shall be determined to ensure that the sum of the individual noble gas release rates do not cause the site dose limit to be exceeded. Use Section lI.D.l.a. and Section 4.2 of MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document,"

in making this determination.

The alarm setpoint shall be set at or below the monitor reading in ýtCi/cc corresponding to the Unit 3 release to the stack portion of the limit. The setpoint shall be set at or below 1.16 E-2 [tCi/cc.

5. Unit 2 Vent - Noble Gas Monitor - RM8132B The instantaneous release rate limit from the site shall be set in accordance with the conditions given in Section ILD.l.a. in order to satisfy the Unit 2 Radiological Effluent Controls in Sections IVC.2. and IV.D.2.a.

For releases from Unit 2 vent, the allocated portion of the site instantaneous release rate limit is 95,000 [tCi/sec. This assumes that 33% of the site limit is assigned to Unit 2 vent releases. If effluent conditions from Unit 2 vent releases reach 95,000 [tCi/sec, releases from Units I and 3 vents and from Units 2 and 3 releases to the Millstone Stack shall be determined to ensure that the sum of the individual noble gas release rates do not cause the site limit to be exceeded. Use Section II.D.l.a. and Section 4.2 of MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document,"

in making this determination.

The alarm setpoint shall be set at or below the monitor reading in cpm corresponding to the Unit 2 vent portion of the limit. The setpoint shall be set at or below 42,000 CPM.

6. Unit 2 Waste Gas Decay Tank Monitor RM9095 Administratively all waste gas decay tank releases are via the Millstone Stack. Unit 2 has a release rate limit to the Millstone Stack of 72,000 liCi/sec (see the MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document," Section 4.2 for bases).

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 92 of 167

Batch releases of waste gas shall be limited to less than 10% of the Unit 2 releases to the Millstone Stack release rate limits. Therefore, the waste gas decay tank monitor setpoint should be set not to exceed 7,200 [tCi/sec.

The MP2 waste gas decay tank monitor (given [tCi/cc per cpm) calibration curve and the tank discharge rate is used to assure that the concentration of gaseous activity being released from a waste gas decay tank does not cause the setpoint of 7,200 [tCi/sec to be exceeded.

7. Unit 3 Vent Noble Gas Monitor - HVR-RE10B The instantaneous release rate limit from the site shall be set in accordance with the conditions given in Section II.D.l.a. in order to satisfy Unit 3 Radiological Effluent Controls in Sections V.C.2. and V.D.2.a.

For releases from Unit 3 vent, the allocated portion of the site instantaneous release rate limit is 95,000 [tCi/sec. This assumes that 33% of the site limit is assigned to Unit 3 vent releases. If effluent conditions from Unit 3 vent releases reach 95,000 [tCi/sec, releases from Units 1 and 2 vents, Unit 3 ESF vent and from Units 2 and 3 releases to the Millstone Stack shall be determined to ensure that the sum of the individual noble gas release rates do not cause the site limit to be exceeded. Use Section II.D.l.a. and Section 4.2 of MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document," in making this determination.

The alarm setpoint shall be set at or below the monitor reading in cpm corresponding to the Unit 3 vent portion of the limit. The setpoint shall be set at or below 8.4 x 10-4 [LCi/cc.

8. Unit 3 Engineering Safeguards Building Monitor - HVQ-RE49 The Alarm setpoint shall be set at or below the value of 5.9E-4 RCi/cc
9. Bases for Gaseous Monitor Setpoints Gaseous effluent monitors are provided on atmospheric release pathways to control, as applicable, the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents to the environment. The alarm / trip setpoints are calculated to ensure that the alarm / trip function of the monitor will occur prior to exceeding the dose rate limits required by the Technical Specifications (Units 2 and 3) or Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III. IV, and V) requirements for each unit. Monitor setpoint selection is based on a conservative set of conditions for each release pathway such that the dose rate at any time at and beyond the site boundary from all gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the numerical values of the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 in Unrestricted Areas. Since the Radiological Effluent Controls are constructed such that the numerical values of the MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 93 of 167

annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 be applied on an instantaneous basis (i.e.,

no time averaging over the year), and the integrated dose objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I provide for corrective actions to reduce effluents if the ALARA dose values are exceeded, assurance is obtained that compliance with the revised annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20.1301 (100 mrem total effective dose equivalent to a member of the public) will also be met. The use of the stated instantaneous release rate values, which equate to the site dose rate limits, also provides operational flexibility to accommodate short periods of higher than normal effluent releases that may occur during plant operations.

APPENDIX II.A REMODCM METHODOLOGY CROSS-REFERENCES Radiological effluent controls (Sections III, IV, and V) identify the requirements for monitoring and limiting liquid and gaseous effluents releases from the site such the resulting dose impacts to members of the public are kept to 'As Low As Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA). The demonstration of compliance with the dose limits is by calculational models that are implemented by Section II of the REMODCM.

Table App. II.A- 1 provides a cross-reference guide between liquid and gaseous effluent release limits and those sections of the REMODCM, which are used to determine compliance. It also shows the administrative Technical Specifications which reference the REMODCM for operation of radioactive waste processing equipment. This table also provides a quick outline of the applicable limits or dose objectives and the required actions if those limits are exceeded. Details of the effluent control requirements and the implementing sections of the REMODCM should be reviewed directly for a full explanation of the requirements.

SECTION III. REMODCM UNIT ONE CONTROLS III.A. Introduction The purpose of this section is to provide the following for Millstone Unit One:

a. the effluent radiation monitor controls and surveillance requirements,
b. the effluent radioactivity concentration and dose controls and surveillance requirements, and
c. the bases for the controls and surveillance requirements.

Definitions of certain terms are provided as an aid for implementation of the controls and requirements.

Some surveillance requirements refer to specific sub -sections in Sections I and II as part of their required actions III.B. Definitions and Surveillance Requirement (SR) Applicability III.B.1 - Definitions The defined terms of this sub-section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout Section III.

1. ACTION - that part of a Control that prescribes remedial measures required under designated conditions.
2. INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION - the adjustment, as necessary, of the instrument output such that it responds within the necessary range and accuracy to know values of the parameter that the instrument monitors. The INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION shall encompass those components, such as sensors, displays, and trip functions, required to perform the specified safety function(s). The INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION shall include the INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONAL TEST and may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps so that the entire channel is calibrated.

MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 97 of 167

3. INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONAL TEST - the injection of a simulated or actual signal into the channel as close to the sensor as practicable to verify that the instrument is OPERABLE, including all components in the channel, such as alarms, interlocks, displays, and trip functions, required to perform the specified safety function(s). For digital instruments, the computer database may be manipulated, in lieu of a signal injection, to verify operability of alarm and/or trip functions. The INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONAL TEST may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps so that the entire channel is tested.
4. INSTRUMENT CHECK - the qualitative determination of operability by observation of behavior during operation. This determination shall include, where possible, comparison of the instrument with other independent instruments measuring the same variable.
5. OPERABLE - An instrument shall be OPERABLE when it is capable of performing its specified functions(s). Implicit in this definition shall be the assumption that all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal and emergency electrical power sources, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment that are required for the instrument to perform its functions(s) are also capable of performing their related support function(s).
6. REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC - an individual, not occupationally associated with the Millstone site, who is exposed to existing dose pathways at one particular location. This does not include employees of the utility or utilities which own a Millstone plant and utility contractors and vendors.

Also excluded are persons who enter the Millstone site to service equipment or to make deliveries. This does include persons who use portions of the Millstone site for recreational, occupational, or other purposes not associated with any of the Millstone plants.

7. SITE BOUNDARY - that line beyond which the land is not owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the licensee.
8. SOURCE CHECK - the qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel is exposed to radiation.
9. RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS - Radioactive Waste Treatment Systems are those liquid, gaseous, and solid waste systems which are required to maintain control over radioactive materials in order to meet the controls set forth in this section.

ILI.B.2 - Surveillance Requirement (SR) Applicability

1. SRs shall be met during specific conditions in the Applicability for individual LCOs unless otherwise stated in the SR. Failure to meet a Surveillance, whether such failure is experienced during the performance of the Surveillance or between performances of the Surveillance, shall be failure to meet the LCO. Failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency shall be failure to meet the LCO except as provided in III.B.2 3.

Surveillances do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment or variables outside specified limits.

2. The specified Frequency for each SR is met if the Surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency, as measured from the previous performance or as measured from the time a specified condition of the frequency is met.
3. If it is discovered that a Surveillance was not performed within its specified frequency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the LCO not met may be delayed from the time of discovery up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit of the specified frequency, whichever is less. This delay period is permitted to allow performance of the surveillance. If the Surveillance is not performed within the delay period, the LCO must immediately be declared not met and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered. The Completion Times of the Required Actions begin immediately upon expiration of the delay period. When the Surveillance is performed within the delay period and the Surveillance is not met, the LCO must immediately be declared not met and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered. The Completion Times of the Required Actions begin immediately upon failure to meet the Surveillance.

III.C. Radioactive Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation

1. Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation CONTROLS The radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation channels shown in Table III.C.- 1 shall be OPERABLE with applicable alarm/trip setpoints set to ensure that the limits of Specification III.D.l.a. are not exceeded. The setpoints shall be determined in accordance with methods and parameters described in Section II.

APPLICABILITY: As shown in Table III.C.-1 ACTION:

a. With a radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation channel alarm/trip setpoint less conservative than required by the above Specification, without delay suspend the release of radioactive liquid effluents monitored by the affected channel, or declare the channel inoperable, or change the setpoint so it is acceptably conservative.
b. With the number of channels less than the minimum channels OPERABLE requirement, take the action shown in Table III.C.-1.

Exert best efforts to restore the inoperable monitor to OPERABLE status within 30 days and, if unsuccessful, explain in the next Radioactive Effluent Release Report why the inoperability was not corrected in a timely manner. Releases need not be terminated after 30 days provided the specified actions are continued.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS Each radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation channel shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by performance of the CHANNEL CHECK, SOURCE CHECK, CHANNEL CALIBRATION, and CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST operations at the frequencies shown in Table III.C.-2.

III.E. Total Radiological Dose From Station Operations Controls CONTROLS The annual dose or dose commitment to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, beyond the site boundary, from the Millstone Site is limited to less than or equal to 25 mrem to the total body or any organ (except the thyroid, which is limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem).

APPLICABILITY: At all times.

ACTION:

With the calculated dose from the release of radioactive materials in liquid or gaseous effluents exceeding twice the limits of Controls III.D.1.b., III.D.2.b. or III.D.2.c. prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission within 30 days and limit the subsequent releases such that the dose commitment from the site to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from the Millstone Site is limited to less than or equal to 25 mrem to the total body or any organ (except thyroid, which is limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem) over 12 consecutive months.

This Special Report shall include an analysis which demonstrates that radiation exposures from the site to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from the Millstone Site (including all effluent pathways and direct radiation) are less than the 40 CFR 190 Standard.

If the estimated doses exceed the above limits, the Special Report shall include a request for a variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190.

Submittal of the report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS Cumulative dose contributions from liquid and gaseous effluents and direct radiation from the Millstone Site shall be determined in accordance with Section II once per 31 days.

III.E BasesSection III.C.1 - Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation No controls required; Unit 1 is not currently releasing radioactivity in liquid effluents MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 113 of 167

Section III.C.2 - Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation The Spent Fuel Pool Island Vent is the only gaseous pathway currently requiring radiation monitoring for Unit 1.

Section III.D.l.a. - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Concentrations This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site will be less than ten times the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2. This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will result in exposures within: (1) the Section II.A. design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50, to an individual and (2) the limits of 10 CFR 20 to the population. The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its concentration in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.

Section III.D.l.b. - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Doses This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A.,

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

Section III.D.2.a. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate This control is provided to ensure that the dose rate at anytime from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 for all areas offsite. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 114 of 167

will not result in the exposure of an individual offsite to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 10 CFR

20. For individuals who may, at times, be within the site boundary, the occupancy of that individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the site boundary. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the site boundary to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to an infant via the cow-milk-infant pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year for the nearest cow to the plant.

Section III.D.2.b. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Noble Gas Dose This control is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.B., Ill.A.,

and IVA. of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50. The control implements the guides set forth in Section II.B of Appendix I. The action statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IVA of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through the appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents will be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculational of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977.

The ODCM equations provided for determining the air doses at the site boundary were based upon utilizing successively more realistic dose calculational methodologies. More realistic dose calculational methods are used whenever simplified calculations indicate a dose approaching a substantial portion of the regulatory limits. The methods used are, in order, previously determined air dose per released activity ratio, historical meteorological data and actual radionuclide mix released, or real time meteorology and actual radionuclides released.

Section III.D.2.c. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents. Particulates, and Gas Other Than Noble Gas Doses MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 115 of 167

These controls is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50. The controls are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The action statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IVA of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The ODCM calculational methods specified in the surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides for Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The ODCM calculational methods for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials will to be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculating of Annual Dose to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix I,"

Revision I, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision I, July 1977. These equations provide for determining the doses based upon either conservative atmospheric dispersion and an assumed critical nuclide mix or using real time meteorology and specific nuclides released. The release rate specifications for radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man. The pathways which are examined in the development of these calculations are: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, (3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

Section III.E. - Total Radiological Dose from Station Operations This control is provided to meet the reporting requirements of 40 CFR 190. For the purpose of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 5 miles must be considered.

IV.E. Total Radiological Dose From Station Operation CONTROLS The annual dose or dose commitment to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, beyond the site boundary, from the Millstone Site is limited to less than or equal to 25 mrem to the total body or any organ (except the thyroid, which is limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem).

APPLICABILITY: At all times.

ACTION:

With the calculated dose from the release of radioactive materials in liquid or gaseous effluents exceeding twice the limits of Controls IVD.2.a., IV.D.I.b., or IV.D.2.c. prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission within 30 days and limit the subsequent releases such that the dose commitment from the site to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from the Millstone Site is limited to less than or equal to 25 mrem to the total body or any organ (except thyroid, which is limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem) over 12 consecutive months.

This Special Report shall include an analysis which demonstrates that radiation exposures from the site to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from the Millstone Site (including all effluent pathways and direct radiation) are less than the 40 CFR 190.

If the estimated doses exceed the above limits, the Special Report shall include a request for a variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190.

Submittal of the report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS Cumulative dose contributions from liquid and gaseous effluents and direct radiation from the Millstone Site shall be determined in accordance with Section II once per 31 days.

WV.E Bases Section IVC.1. - Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 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 approved methods in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding ten times the limits of 10 CFR 20. The OPERABILITY and use of this MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 136 of 167

instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50. Monitoring of the turbine building sumps and condensate polishing facility floor drains is not required due to relatively low concentrations of radioactivity possible.

Section IVC.2. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with the approved methods in the REMODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the dose rate limits, at any time, as specified in Section IVD.2.a. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50.

Two types of radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation, monitors and samplers, are being used at MP2 vent and Millstone Stack. Monitors have alarm/trip setpoints and are demonstrated operable by performing one or more of the following operations: CHANNEL CHECK, SOURCE CHECK, CHANNEL CALIBRATION, and CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST. Samplers are strictly collection devices made of canisters and filters. The CHANNEL CHECK surveillance requirements are met through (1) documented observation of the in- service rad monitor sample flow prior to filter replacement; (2) documented replacement of in-line iodine and particulate filters; and (3) documented observation of sample flow following the sampler return to service.

The flow indicator is the only indication available for comparison. These observations adequately provide assurance that the sampler is operating and is capable of performing its design function.

There are a number of gaseous release points which could exhibit very low concentrations of radioactivity. For all of these release paths, dose consequences would be insignificant due to the intermittent nature of the release and/or the extremely low concentrations of radioactivity. Since it is not cost-beneficial (nor in many cases practical due to the nature of the release (steam) or the impossibility of detecting such low levels), to monitor these pathways, it has been determined that these release paths require no monitoring or sampling.

Section IV.D.1.a. - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Concentrations This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site will be less than ten times the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2. This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will result in exposures within: (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50, to an individual and (2) the limits of 10 CFR 20 to the population. The concentration limit for noble gases is MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 137 of 167

based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its concentration in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.

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

Section IVD.2.a. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate This specification is provided to ensure that the dose rate at anytime from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 for all areas offsite. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual offsite to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 10 CFR

20. For individuals who may, at times, be within the site boundary, the occupancy of that individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the site boundary. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the site boundary to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid or any other organ dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year.

SURVEILLANCE REOUIREMENTS Cumulative dose contributions from liquid and gaseous effluents and direct radiation from the Millstone Site shall be determined in accordance with Section II once per 31 days.

VE BasesSection V.C. 1. - Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 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 Section II to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding ten times the limits of 10 CFR 20. The OPERABILITY and MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 158 of 167

use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 20 Part 50.

OPERABILITY of a radiation monitor is determined by its ability to perform its specified function. The specified function of the radioactivity monitors listed in Table VC.-1 is to provide Control Room alarm annunciation and automatic termination of release. The monitor must be on-line with no unexpected alarms in order to perform its specified function.

Definition B.7 states a component is OPERABLE when it is capable of performing its specified function. The monitors are described in Tables V.C.-1 and V.C. -2 as "Radioactivity Monitors Providing Alarm and Automatic Termination of Releases." Table VC.-2 Note 1 requires that the Analog Channel Operational Test (ACOT) demonstrate that automatic isolation and "control room annunciation" occur. Control room annunciation cannot occur unless the monitor is on line (i.e. in communication with the RMS computer.).

Section VC.1. Surveillance Requirement requires that the ACOT be performed to demonstrate OPERABILITY. General Design Criteria 64 states in part:

"Means shall be provided for monitoring effluent discharge paths for radioactivity." Regulatory Guide 1.21 Appendix A describes a monitor program that is acceptable to the Regulatory staff. Under Section B of Appendix A, "LIQUID EFFLUENTS," the first paragraph states in part: "During the release of radioactive wastes, the effluent control monitor should be set to alarm and to initiate automatic closure..."

Certain of the monitors listed in Table VC. -1 are designed to operate without sample pumps. These monitors utilize pressure in the effluent line during discharge to provide sample flow and sample pressure. Low sample flow and/or low sample pressure alarms may be received when no discharge is in progress.

These are expected alarms. Sample flow and/or sample pressure will return to normal when the discharge is initiated. These alarms will clear when discharge begins. The monitors are OPERABLE since they are able to perform their specified function with the expected alarms in.

Table VC.- 1 note ## requires entry into the radioactive liquid effluent monitoring action statements whenever the radiation monitors are not available in the required MODE. This note applies to items L.a (3CND-RE07, Waste Neutralization Sump), 1.d (3LWC-RE65, Regenerate Evaporator Monitor), and L.e (3SSR-RE08, Steam Generator Blowdown Monitor) in Table VC.-1. The original issue of this requirement (as a Technical Specification) in January 1986 stated the applicability was "At all times." Technical Specification Amendment 22 added "APPLICABILITY" to Table VC. -1 (then Tech Spec Table 3.3- ). The applicability added in Amendment 22 is the present wording. The letter 1312821, MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 159 of 167

dated February 24, 1988, in the following sections discusses the change request and are quoted below:

  • In "Discussion": "The proposed changes will now explicitly allow a monitor to be taken out of service for up to hours for maintenance/testing without entering the ACTION statement."
  • In "Significant Hazards Consideration" item 1: "the proposed changes would only allow these radiation monitors to be out of service for a short period of time (12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />)."
  • In "Significant Hazards Consideration" item 2: "The proposed changes also have no effect on alarm setpoints or control functions. Further, no operator actions that are required to mitigate any accident rely solely on these monitors, and these monitors provide no protective functions."

Technical Specification Amendment 22 provided for the following:

  • allowance for planned inoperability of monitoring instrumentation for up to hours for the purpose of maintenance and performance of required test, check, calibration or sampling
  • a requirement to initiate auxiliary sampling within hours after inoperability of certain gaseous effluent monitors

" allowance for inoperability of certain effluent monitoring instrumentation, during MODE 6 (refueling) when the effluent pathway is not being used.

Section VC.2.- Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases of gaseous effluents. The Alarm/Trip Setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section II to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of SectionV.D.2.a. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 20 Part 50.

The sensitivity of any noble gas activity monitors used to show compliance with the gaseous effluent release requirements of Specification VC.2.a shall be such that concentrations as low as 1 x 10-6 gCi/cc are measurable.

The vent normal range radiation monitor, HVR* 10B, satisfies the requirements of SectionV.C.2. for Unit 3 releases to the vent which is located on the turbine MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 160 of 167

building. There are no requirements in the REMODCM associated with the vent high range radiation monitor, HVR*10A.

The SLCRS normal range radiation monitor, HVR*19B, satisfies the requirements of SectionV.C.2. for Unit 3 releases to the Millstone Stack. There are no requirements in the REMODCM associated with the SLCRS high range radiation monitor, HVR* 19A.

Section VD.1.a. - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Concentrations This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site will-be less than ten times the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2.

This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will result in exposures within: (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, to an individual and (2) the limits of 10 CFR 20.1301 to the population. The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe- 135 is the controlling radioisotope and its concentrations in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.

Section VD.1.b. - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Doses This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A.,

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

'MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 161 of 167

Section V.D.2.a.- Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate This specification will ensure that the dose from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 for all areas offsite. The annual dose limits specified in this section are the dose limits from the version of 10 CFR Part 20 prior to 1994. Annual dose limit in the current version of 10CFR20 were reduced from 500 to 100 mrem. But REMODCM restrictions will not allow the current annual dose limit to be exceeded because the REMODCM requires termination, within fifteen minutes, of any release which exceed the setpoint and much lower annual dose limits from 10CFR50, Appendix I are implemented. For individuals who may, at times, be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of that individual will be usually be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the SITE BOUNDARY. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the whole body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid or any other organ dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year.

Section V.D.2.b. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Noble Gas Dose This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.B.,

III.A., and IVA. of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The specification implements the guides set forth in Section II.B of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section VA. of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A. of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through the appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in Section II for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents will be consistent with.the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculational of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977.

The Section II equations provided for determining the air doses at the site boundary are based upon utilizing successively more realistic dose calculational methodologies. More realistic dose calculational methods are used whenever simplified calculations indicate a dose approaching a substantial portion of the MP-22-REC-BAP01 STOP THINK ACT REVIEW Rev. 026-02 162 of 167

regulatory limits. The methods used are, in order, previously determined air dose per released activity ratio, historical meteorological data and actual radionuclide mix released, or real time meteorology and actual radionuclides released.

Section VD.2.c. - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents for Radionuclides Other Than Noble Gas These specifications are provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C., III.A., and IVA. of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50. The specifications are the guides set forth in Section II.C. of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A. of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable."

The Section II calculational methods specified in the surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A. of Appendix I that conformance with the guides for Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The Section II calculational methodology and parameters for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculating of Annual Dose to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision I, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors,"

Revision I, July 1977. The release rate specifications for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man. The pathways that are examined in the development of these calculations are: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, (3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

Section VE. - Total Radiological Dose from Station Operations This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR 190. For the purpose of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 5 miles must be considered.
