4.

The Radioactive Effluent Release Reports shall include the following information for each class of solid waste (as defined by 10 CFR Part 61) shipped offsite during the report period:

a. Container volume,
b. Total curie quantity (specify whether determined by measurement or estimate),

,c. Principal radionuclides (specify whether determined by measurement or estimate),

d. Source of waste and processing employed (e.g., dewatered spent resin, compacted dry waste, evaporator bottoms),
e. Type of container (e.g., LSA, Type A, Type B, Large Quantity),

and

f. Solidification agent or absorbent (e.g., cement, urea formaldehyde).
5.

The Radioactive Effluent Release Reports shall include a list and description of unplanned releases from the site to unrestricted areas of radioactive materials in gaseous and liquid effluents made during the reporting period.

6.

The Radioactive Effluent Release Reports shall include any changes made during the reporting period to the Process Control Program (PCP) and to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), as well as a listing of new locations for dose calculations and/or environmental monitoring identified by the land use census pursuant to Specification 3.17.2.2.

6.9-5 Amendment No. $g 138

7.

Changes to the radioactive waste systems (liquid, gaseous, and solid) shall become effective upon review and acceptance by the Plant Nuclear Safety Committee and shall be reported to the Commission in the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the evaluation was reviewed by the PNSC.

The discussion of each change shall contain:

a. A summary of the evaluation that led to the determination that the change could be made in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50.59;
b. Sufficient detailed information to totally support the reason for the change without benefit of additional or supplemental information;
c. A detailed description of the equipment, components and processes involved and the interfaces with other plant systems;
d. An evaluation of the change, which shows the predicted releases of radioactive materials in liquid and gaseous effluents and/or quantity of solid waste that differ from those previously predicted in the license application and amendments thereto;
e. An evaluation of the change, which shows the expected maximum exposure to an individual in the unrestricted area and to the general population that differ from those previously estimated in the license application and amendments thereto; The licensee may choose to submit the information called for in this Specification as part of the annual FSAR update.

6.9-6 Amendment No.

5, 138

f. A comparison of the predicted releases of radioactive materials, in liquid and gaseous effluents and in solid waste, to the actual releases for the period prior to when the changes are to be made;
g. An estimate of the exposure to plant operating personnel as a result of the change; and
h. Documentation of the fact that the change was reviewed and found acceptable by the PNSC.

6.9.1.4 Monthly Operating Report.

Routine reports of operating statistics and shutdown experience shall be submitted on a monthly basis.

The report formats set forth in Appendices B, C, and D to Regulatory Guide 1.16 shall be completed in accordance with the instructions provided. The completed forms should be submitted by the tenth of the month following the calendar month covered by the report to the NRC.
