TABLE NOTATION

a. Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is an "a priori" limit representing the capability of a measurement system. LLD is calculated in accordance with methodology established in the ODCM and Table 4.10-1, Note a.

b. Containment pressure reliefs and purges can be made during the week without sampling by correcting the weekly sample analysis results with the ratio of the Containment Radionoble Gas Monitor (RMS-12) and the Containment Particulate Monitor (RMS-11) readings at the time of sampling to the desired time of the pressure relief.

c. The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification applies exclusively are the following radionuclides:

Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe 133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 for gaseous emissions 1-131 for halogen emissions, and Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144 for particulate emissions. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported. Other peaks which are measureable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported.

d. The ratio of the sample flow rate to the sampled stream flow rate shall be known for the time period covered by each dose or dose rate calculation.

e. Sampling and analysis shall also be performed following shutdown, startup, or a power change exceeding 15 percent of rated power within one hour unless (1) analysis shows that the dose equivalent 1-131 concentration in the primary coolant has not increased more than a factor of 3; (2) the noble gas activity monitor shows that effluent activity has not increased by more than a factor of 3.
