2.0 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATIONS 2.1 Compliance with the Limitations for Liquid Effluent Releases a) To assure compliance with the limitations of Section 3.2.2.a, Radioactive Effluent Control Program (RECP), the radioactivity monitor alarm setpoint is calculated for the monitor as a function of the maximum effluent flow rate and the minimum dilution flow rate. The following equation is used to calculate setpoints:

a the setpoint (in CPS above background) of the radioactivity monitor S0 measuring the radioactivity concentration in the effluent line prior to dilution and subsequent release; the setpoint, which is inversely proportional to the volumetric flow of the effluent line (f) and proportional to the volumetric flow of the dilution stream plus the effluent stream (F + f), represents a value which, if exceeded, could result in concentrations exceeding the limits of 10 CFR 20.

z Equation 2.4 requires the use of a dose factor Aai, for each nuclide, organ and individual in age group a which includes the factors which determine the ultimate dose received such as pathway transfer factors (e.g., bioaccumulation factors),

pathway usage factors, ingestion dose factors and dilution factors. The following philosophy and site-specific conditions determine the site-specific factors ODCM 9 Rev. 13

A4 incorporated into the liquid effluent dose calculation model:

1. Liquid Dose Pathways Due to LACBWR's status as a fresh water site, there is no 0

invertebrate pathway. The drinking water pathway is not included, since the nearest community which obtains its drinking water supply from the Mississippi River is located at Davenport, Iowa,

which is 195 miles downstream. The drinking water pathway represents < 0.01% of the dose to any organ. The irrigated foods

_pathway is not included since the river water is not used for irrigation in this area and the shoreline deposits pathway is insignificant for the Mississippi River. The only significant dose pathway is the dose commitment due to ingestion of fish from the Mississippi River waters.

2. Dilution The liquid effluent flow from the waste tanks is diluted by the combined total circulating water flow for condenser cooling at both LACBWR and G-3. For offsite dose calculations, no dilution by the C:

Mississippi River flow is considered. Also, under SAFSTOR conditions batch discharges of liquid effluent normally take place CuU) during less than 35 hours4.050926e-4 days <br />0.00972 hours <br />5.787037e-5 weeks <br />1.33175e-5 months <br /> per month (< 5% of the time). Therefore, no fish in the river are continuously exposed to a radioactive environment produced by LACBWR liquid effluent as assumed in the calculation of the published bioaccumulation factors for fish.

0)

Based on the above site-specific criteria, the dose factor Aai, is defined as follows:

AaiT = K. (UFa)(BF )(DFaiT) (2.5) where:

Ko = a units conversion constant, 5.03 E5 =

Calculation of Gamma and Beta Air Dose Commitments Co '

In accordance with the RECP, the gamma and beta air dose commitments are to be calculated once per calendar quarter and yearly. Equations 2.14 and 2.15 are used to 0D perform these calculations.

E b) To demonstrate compliance with the limitations of Section 3.3.3.c, dose o

contributions are calculated for H-3, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days, identified in gaseous effluents released to unrestricted areas using the ca methodology presented in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev 1, October 1977.

0 This methodology takes the form of the following general equation:

D,, (r, 0)= MPi.. W(r, 0) Qi (2.16) where:

J Da (r,O)= the dose commitment to organ -rof an individual in age group a, at a distance r in sector 0 from the release point, due to the release to the atmosphere of radionuclides in mRem.

W(r, 0) = the average dispersion parameter for estimating the dose to an individual at the receptor location (r, 0), for the period of release, in sec/m 3 or m-2 as required by the characteristics of the exposure pathway.

Q = the total activity of each radionuclide i, in gaseous effluents for the release period of interest, in pCi.

MPiTa = the dose conversion factor for exposure pathway P to organ "r of an individual in age group a, for each identified radionuclide i. The units of MiTa are (mRem-m 2 )/4iCi or (mRem-m 3 )/pCi-sec) as required so that the product MPi,.a W(r, 0) is mRem/gCi.

0 ~

Equation 2.16 may be expanded to the following form where each term is the incremental dose received via one of the three major dose pathways.

ODCM 20 Rev. 13

D,. (r, 0) = I DGit.a (r, 0) + DAi'. (r, 0) + D itaz (r, 0) (2.17)

vz 00 For conservatism, for compliance with this limit, the maximum total dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will be assumed to be the sum of the maximums from each dose pathway even though the actual maximally exposed individual for each of the pathways could not be the same person.

ODCM 43 Rev. 13

The maximum potential dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from direct radiation from the Reactor Building and radioactive waste storage tanks is determined by TLD dosimeters located at various locations around the perimeter of the LACBWR access controlled area and the EFFLUENT RELEASE BOUNDARY for the environmental monitoring program. For compliance with this E limit, the actual maximum possible exposure to an actual MEMBER OF THE E

OCTDa Issue Notice No. 1 Dated INSTRUCTIONS Description of and Reason for Change Modify procedure due to completion of DCS project; all fuel has been removed REMOVE AND INSERT ALL PAGES from the plant Changes to this procedure do not require 50.59 screening.

This issue shall not become effective unless accompanied by a new cover sheet, properly signed off in the appropriate review/approval columns.

HSP-04.0 Issue 1 LACBWR HEALTH AND SAFETY DEPARTMENT PROCEDURE PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM (PCP) 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of the Process Control Program (PCP) is to describe the methodology and procedures used by the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) Facility during SAFSTOR, to ensure that radioactive waste material processing, packaging, transportation and disposal will be accomplished in a manner that is in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and burial site regulations. The PCP will provide guidance for LACBWR's three basic waste streams: (1) dry active waste (DAW), (2) wet radioactive waste (resin or filter media), or (3) irradiated material.

NOTE: If the methodology and/or procedures found in the PCP are being violated, all radioactive waste processing activities will be suspended until these violations can be investigated and corrected.

2.0 REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Quality Assurance Program Description, Appendix C: The PCP shall be maintained onsite and will be available for NRC review. Licensee-initiated changes to the PCP shall be submitted to the NRC in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change(s) was made. This submittal shall contain:

2.1.1 Information to support the rationale for the change; 2.1.2 A determination that the change did not reduce the overall conformance of the solidified waste product to existing criteria for solid wastes; and 2.1.3 Documentation of the fact that the change has been reviewed and found acceptable by the ORC."

2.2 Wet Radioactive Waste 2.2.1 These wastes will be transferred to the Waste Treatment Building (WTB) for storage before their ultimate disposal.

Page 1 of 8

HSP-04.0 Issue 1 2.2.2 The WTB is located to the northeast of the Reactor Building. The WTB contains facilities and equipment for the collection, storage and handling of low level solid radioactive waste materials.

The grade floor of the WTB contains a shielded compartment which encloses a permanent 320 ft3 stainless steel Spent Resin Receiving Tank (SRRT) with associated resin receiving and transfer piping, SRRT recirculation piping, SRRT demineralized water flush piping, SRRT dewatering piping, SRRT air sparger piping, valves, and a SRRT ultrasonic level indication assembly. This cubicle is in the southeast corner of the building and has nominal 2' 6" to 3' thick reinforced high density concrete shield walls on the outer sides.

2.2.3 Wet radioactive waste materials may typically be described as whole bead demineralizer resins, mechanical cartridge filters and waste sludge. When expended, resins and sludge are transferred to the SRRT. The cartridge filters may be added directly to a HIC as indicated below.

2.2.4 From the SRRT, partially dewatered spent resins and/or sludge material, are pumped at a low flow rate/pressure with a Roper-type screw pump to a High Integrity Liner (HIC), located in the adjacent shielded cubicle as described in Operating Manual Volume VII. The wall between the SRRT and the HIC and other walls surrounding the HIC are a nominal 2' thick high density concrete. Also located in this cubicle is an air-driven Sandpiper-type diaphragm HIC dewatering pump, the resin transfer and dewatering valves and hoses, and the disposal HIC level indication connecting cable. Once in the HIC, spent resins and sludge material is dewatered to the SRRT which is subsequently dewatered. A final dewatering is performed as described in Operating Manual Volume VII.

Samples of wet waste are analyzed for isotopic composition and for waste classification before disposal.

2.2.5 The final dewatering will ensure that the contents of the HIC meets the requirements of 10 CFR 61.56(a)(3) and the burial site criteria for free-standing liquids. Stabilization of the dewatered wet waste is provided by the HIC as authorized by 10 CFR 61.56(b)(1). The contractor which supplies the HIC will provide DPC with a copy of the Certificate of Compliance for the HIC which details specific limitations on the use of the HIC.

Page 2 of 8

HSP-04.0 Issue 1 2.2.6 Once final dewatering is completed, the HIC is inspected and the lid will be closed and sealed. The HIC is surveyed, decontaminated, if needed, and loaded into an appropriate shipping cask.

NOTE: Dewatered spent mechanical cartridge filters may be added directly to a HIC containing spent resins, if necessary.

2.2.7 The shipping cask is prepared for shipment in accordance to contractor's procedures. The vehicle is inspected both upon arrival onsite and after it is loaded prior to departure in accordance with procedure.

2.2.8 Once properly prepared for shipment, the wet waste will be either sent directly to an approved disposal site for burial, or it will be sent to a licensed waste processor for volume reduction. Any material remaining after reprocessing will be sent to burial by the processor for DPC.

2.3 Dry Active Wastes 2.3.1 The PCP and Health and Safety Procedures in Section 4 establish the steps used to process, package and ship the Dry Active Wastes (DAW) from the plant, in accordance with 10 CFR 20.2006 and 49 CFR 173.

The Dry Active Waste materials may typically be described as paper, cloth, metal, wood, plastic, concrete and other items or components which have become contaminated with radioactive materials. The DAW is normally characterized and labeled as Class A Unstable, in accordance with 10 CFR 61.55 and 61.56.

2.3.2 DAW will either be processed at LACBWR for burial at an approved burial site, or it will be processed for shipment to a licensed reprocessing contractor.

2.3.3 DAW for Direct Burial These wastes processed for direct burial from LACBWR are packaged in approved shipping containers as required by the burial site. Sufficient absorbent material is added to each waste container to limit free standing and non-corrosive liquid to less than 1% of the volume. Representative samples of DAW are analyzed for isotopic composition and for waste classification.

Page 3 of 8

HSP-04.0 Issue 1 2.3.4 DAW for Reprocessing Containers supplied by the contractor will be strategically placed within the controlled area to allow for the most efficient loading of these containers.

The container size will vary due to the application required. Once filled, the reprocessing contractor will be notified and shipping arrangements will be made. The containers will be sealed and surveyed before leaving LACBWR. Any waste volume remaining after reprocessing will be sent to burial by the contractor for LACBWR.

2.4 Irradiated Material 2.4.1 Irradiated material packaging and shipping may be handled by a licensed contractor hired by DPC to perform such shipments. DPC employees will provide oversight of these shipments to ensure compliance.

2.5 Waste Classification 2.5.1 Due to the closing of the Barnwell burial site in 2007, LACBWR engaged in a campaign to dispose of all Class B and C waste. Currently LACBWR has no known Class B or Class C waste. LACBWR waste will be classified as Class A stable or unstable. Waste classification is based on the requirements of 10 CFR 61.55.

2.5.2 Radionuclide concentrations will be determined based on the volume or weight of the final waste form as discussed in Section C.2 of the Branch Technical Position Paper on Waste Classification.

2.5.3 Of the four suggested methods for determining radionuclide concentration, the one most commonly used is the direct measurement of individual radionuclides (gamma emitters) and the use of scaling factors to determine the radionuclide concentration of difficult to measure radionuclides (normally non-gamma emitters). The use of the other suggested methods; material accountability, classification by source or gross radioactivity measurements may occur if the situation best fits the use of that methodology.

2.5.4 Plant procedures are used in the determination of radionuclide concentration for difficult to measure nuclides (normally non-gamma Page 4 of 8

HSP-04.0 Issue 1 I emitters) and for the classification of radioactive waste for near-surface burial in accordance to 10 CFR 61.56(a)(3) and Table 1 and Table 2.

2.6 Shipment Manifest 2.6.1 Each shipment of solid radioactive waste to a licensed land disposal facility will be accompanied by a shipment manifest as required by 10 CFR 20.2006 and described in NUREG/BR-0204. The manifest will contain the name, address, and telephone number of the waste generator. The manifest will also include the name, address, and telephone number or the name and EPA hazardous waste identification number of the person transporting the waste to the land disposal facility.

2.6.2 The manifest will also indicate to the extent practicable:a physical description of the waste; the volume; radionuclide identity and quantity; the total radioactivity; and the principal chemical form. The solidification agent, if applicable, will be identified.

2.6.3 Waste containing more than 0.1% chelating agents by weight will be identified and the weight percentage of the chelating agent estimated.

Waste classification will be clearly indicated on the manifest. The total quantity of the radio-nuclides H-3, C-14, Tc-99, and 1-129 will be shown on the manifest. Source material mass, and the masses of U-233, U-235, Pu isotopes and total Special Nuclear Material will be calculated and shown on the manifest.

2.6.4 Each manifest will include a certification by DPC that the transported materials are properly classified, described, packaged, marked, and labeled, and are in proper condition for transportation according to the applicable regulations of the Department of Transportation and the NRC.

A qualified individual will sign and date the manifest. LACBWR procedures are used for the preparation of burial site radioactive shipping manifests.

2.6.5 LACBWR will maintain a manifest record-keeping and tracking system that meets the requirements of 10 CFR 20.2006.

Page 5 of 8

HSP-04.0 Issue 1 2.6.6 Each shipment of radioactive waste to a licensed reprocessing contractor will be accompanied by a shipment manifest that meets the requirements of that contractor's license.

2.7 Administrative Controls 2.7.1 Training A training program will be conducted to ensure that waste processing will be performed according to plant procedures and the PCP. An individual's training record will be maintained for audit and inspection. The processing and shipment of radioactive material will be performed by qualified and trained personnel.

All plant personnel who handle, package, and prepare for shipment radioactive material will receive appropriate DOT Hazardous Material Training, in accordance with their duties, once every three (3) years.

2.7.2 Record Retention Records of processing data, test and analysis results, results of training, inspections and audits will be retained in accordance with LACBWR Quality Assurance requirements for record retention.

2.7.3 Documentation Control DPC-initiated changes may be made to the PCP and procedures in accordance with the Quality Assurance Program Description and shall become effective upon review and acceptance by the Operations Review Committee (ORC).

Radioactive waste that does not fall within previous waste processing experience will be evaluated and, if necessary, included in the PCP prior to final processing and disposal. Approved changes in the PCP will be reported to the NRC in the subsequent annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

Page 6 of 8

HSP-04.0 Issue I 2.7.4 Quality Assurance The provisions of the NRC-approved LACBWR Quality Assurance Program apply to all activities performed under the PCP, and solid radioactive waste processing procedures.

2.7.5 Voluntary Information Submittal If any of the following mishaps occur during the preparation of LLW waste for disposal, a voluntary submittal of information will be sent to the NRC.

This will be a 30-day report to the NRC's Director of the Division of Low-Level Waste Management and Decommissioning and will also be sent to the designated State disposal-site regulatory authority.

1) Failure of the high-integrity containers used to ensure a stable waste form. Container failure can be evidenced by changed container dimensions, cracking, or damage resulting from mishandling (e.g., dropping or impacting against another object).
2) Misuse of high-integrity containers, evidenced by a quantity of free liquid greater than 1 percent of container volume, or by an excessive void space within the container. Such misuse is prohibited by 10 CFR 61.56.
3) Production of a solidified Class B or C waste form that has any of the following characteristics:

" Contains free liquid in quantities exceeding 0.5 percent of the volume of the waste.

  • Contains waste with radionuclides in concentrations exceeding those considered during waste form qualification testing accepted by the regulatory agency, which could lead to errors in assessment of waste class.

" Contains a significantly different waste loading than that used in qualification testing accepted by the regulatory agency.

  • Contains chemical ingredients not present in qualification testing accepted by the regulatory agency, and those quantities are sufficient to unacceptably degrade the waste product.

SECTION B ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT

INTRODUCTION:

The RadiologicalEnvironmentalMonitoring (REM) Program is conducted to comply with the requirements of the ODCM and in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix I. The REM Programprovides measurements of radiationand of radioactivematerialsin those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which could potentially lead to radiation doses to Members of the Public resulting from plant effluents. Environmentalsamples are taken within the surrounding areas of the plant and in selected control or background locations.

The monitoringprogram at the LACBWR facility includes monitoringof liquid and gaseous releases from the plant, as well as environmental samples of surface air,river water, river sediment, milk, fish, and penetrating radiation.

The REM program theory supplements the Radioactive Effluent analyses by verifying that the measurable concentrationsof radioactive materialsand levels of radiationare not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways using the methodology of the Offsite Dose CalculationManual (ODCM).

An InterlaboratoryComparison Programis provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactivematerialin environmental samples are performed.

TABLE 7 This table shows the TLD locations.

TABLE 8 This table shows the number of various samples collected and analyzed during 2012.

2.0 RESULTS OF THE 2012 RADIO-ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING SURVEYS During 2012, activity levels in the local environment were normal, indicating no significant plant attributed radioactivity.

2.1 PENETRATING RADIATION The environmental penetrating radiation dose is measured by thermo luminescent dosimeters consisting of four lithium fluoride (LiF) chips. These TLD's are changed on a quarterly basis and are sent to an outside contractor for reading. The TLD results for 2012 are shown on Table 9.

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT - (cont'd) 2.2 AIR PARTICULATE Air samples are collected continuously from various sites (see Table 6) around LACBWR. An air sampler is also located 18 miles north of the plant in La Crosse, Wisconsin, to act as a control station.

Particulate air samples are collected at the rate of approximately 30-60 Ipm with a Gelman Air Sampler. The air filter consists of a glass fiber filter with an associated pore size of approximately 0.45 pm. The particulate filters are analyzed weekly for gross beta activity with an internal proportional counter, and the monthly particulate composites are gamma analyzed for individual isotopic concentration.

TABLE 10 This table shows the weekly gross beta gamma activity concentration from the air particulate filters.

TABLE 11 This table shows the composite air particulate isotopic analysis.

Comparison between the control station at La Crosse and the other stations near LACBWR indicate that there was no significant plant attributable airborne particulate activity.

2.3 RIVER WATER River water is collected monthly. River water samples above at, and below the plant site are collected and are gamma analyzed for isotopic concentration. The river water gamma isotopic analysis results are shown in Table 12. The results indicate that there were no significant plant attributable radionuclides in the river water.

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT - (cont'd) 2.4 SEDIMENT SAMPLES Sediment samples were collected twice per year above, at, and below the plant outfall. These samples were gamma analyzed and these results appear on Table 13. They indicated that small amounts of plant-attributed radionuclides have accumulated in river sediments near the outfall. The amount of radionuclide in this sediment declined significantly after plant shutdown. These amounts have remained relatively constant the last few years.

2.5 FISH Fish samples were collected quarterly above and below the plant discharge. The results of gamma spectral analysis of edible portions of fish samples appear in Table 14. There has been no significant accumulation of plant-attributed radionuclides in fish in the vicinity of LACBWR.

3.0 CONCLUSION

S All environmental samples collected and analyzed during 2012 exhibited no significant contribution from LACBWR.
