PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT H PROCEDURE NUMBER:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 11 of 156 RECORD OF REVISIONS [CONTINUED]

Revision No. Date Reason for Revision 27 6/27/2012 The definition of CHANNEL RESPONSE TEST has been deleted. There is no requirement to perform a CHANNEL RESPONSE TEST; therefore the inclusion of the definition is extraneous.

The statement that C-14 will not be included in the totals when assessing compliance with specification 3.7.1 .A (section 3.5.1.F) has been deleted as inappropriate.

The term "GALE Code" is defined and referenced. Beyond the definition, all subsequent use of the term "GALE Code",

GALE Code Mix or PWR GALE Code, has been changed to

'source term".

Corrected DEl definition. Conversion factor basis has always been T1 D-14844.

Non-gamma emitters, previously treated as a subtraction in the liquid radiation process monitor setpoint calculations will now be treated as a factor, in a similar fashion to gamma emitters. This will reduce calculated setpoints from those previous generated by past methodology generated values.

Tritium will be accounted for by bounding calculation.

Section 4 and section 5 equations have been restructured to reflect source documentation, with NO change in methodology, other than those identified. This was done to enhance auditability.

Discharge Canal Monitor definition was revised to reflect USAR, and to direct the maintaining of the alarm setpoint low, reflecting its function as an atypcial release monitor.

Table 5.1 specific dispersion factor values have been removed. Dispersion factors are identified as long or short term. The ODCM defines methodology. Specific values generated by the prescribed methodology, will be maintained in supporting documentation (H4.2)

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 12 of 156 RECORD OF REVISIONS [CONTINUED]

Revision No. Date Reason for Revision 28 11/27/2013 Corrected DEI definition. DEi is a Reactor Coolant System Radiochemistry Technical Specification parameter. With the implementation of Alternate Source Term (License Amendment 206/193) the source document for the determination of conversion factors will change from TID-14844 to EPA Federal Guidance Report No. 11. Added the extra tritium samples taken for the NEI Groundwater Protection Initiative to the list of REMP waterborne samples in Table 7.1.

Since Fe-55, Sr-89, Sr-90, and alpha concentrations are determined from composite samples, the liquid monitor setpoint determinations should be completed using the most recent available composite sample results.

Monitor high alarm or isolation setpoints will be established or verified each time a release permit is generated, by the methodology described in section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. Nuclide mix input to the high alarm or isolation setpoint will be:

A. The Liquid Source Terms (Table 4.1).

1. Used in the case that no gamma emitters are identified in the batch tank pre-release samples or for continuous releases which are not anticipated to have gamma emitters and are not evaluated pre-release.

B. Based on analysis prior to discharge.

1. Used in the case of that gamma emitters are identified in the batch tank pre-release samples.

In the event that no release is made for a given liquid release pathway and therefore no evaluation of the associated liquid process radiation monitor is made, a setpoint calculation will be performed based on Liquid Source Terms (Table 4.1) at least once every 31 days.

If the calculated setpoint is less than the existing monitor setpoint, the setpoint SHALL be reduced to the new value. If the calculated setpoint is greater than the existing setpoint, the setpoint may remain at the lower value or increased to the calculated value.

Setpoint calculations are performed each time a release permit is generated.

Tritium may constitute a significant portion of the nuclide mix, however tritium will not generate a monitor response (cpm). A bounding calculation may be performed, and a correction factor generated, as a basis for bounding tritium in the set point calculations.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 38 of 156 4.1.1 Setpoint Safety Factor Determination:

A. Determine the maximum postulated tritium, based on the maximum postulated RCS tritium.

B. Determine the maximum postulated diluted tritium in the discharged effluent, based on 110% of rated pump discharge flow rate and minimum allowable dilution flow rate:

H 3 DIL = H3MAx

  • FpMp / FDIL (4.1-1)

Where:

H 3 D[L- Diluted tritium concentration (uCi/ml)

H3MAX- Maximum postulated tritium (uCi/ml)

FpMp - 110% of rated pump flow (gpm)

FDIL - Minimum dilution flow (gpm)

C. Determine maximum postulated ECL fraction for tritium:

Tritium ECL Fraction = H 3 DIL/ 1.OOE-02 uCi/ml (4.1-2)

D. Determine the Setpoint Safety Factor (SPSF):

SPSF = 1 - Tritium ECL Fraction (4.1-3)

The Set Point Safety Factor is used as the tritium adjustment factor. When the maximum tritium contribution to ECL Fraction is accounted for by bounding calculation, it is represented in the set point calculation as a reduced value of the Setpoint Safety Factor.

The bounding calculation will be maintained in supporting documentation and validated as appropriate.

  • Waste Effluent Liquid Monitor (R-18)

The following calculations assume the radioactive waste liquid discharge flow rate will be maintained constant, at the maximum design flow rate and that dilution flow will be maintained constant at a minimum flow rate.

A. Nuclide "mix" Determination (representative liquid source terms of the liquid effluent)

1. For short term batch releases, the gamma and tritium source terms will be determined, by analysis, prior to release.
2. In the absence of quantification of gamma source terms, the Liquid Source Terms (Table 4.1) may be used, generating a default set point.
3. Fe-55, Sr-89 and Sr-90 are determined by quarterly composite samples. Input to the source terms will be the most recent values.

B. Required Dilution Factor (RDF) Determination RDF = 7(ACi/ECLi) (4.1-4)

DSF Where:

RDF - Require Dilution Factor (unitless)

AC - Activity Concentration of nuclide "i" (uCi/mI)

ECLi - Effluent Concentration Limit of nuclide "i" (uCi/ml)

DSF - Dilution Safety Factor; 0.8 C. Specific Activity (SP) Determination

1. Specific Activity equates all nuclide activities determined to be in the mix to the equivalent Cs-1 37 activity, based on monitor response.
2. If the gamma activity concentration is 0, then the Specific Activity need not be determined. The setpoint will be the default setpoint, based on the Liquid Source Terms (Table 4.1).

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 40 of 156

3. The allocation factor is the fraction of the radioactivity from the site that may be released via each release point to ensure that the unrestricted area limit is not exceeded due to simultaneous releases from multiple release points. The summation of all the allocation factors for active release points SHALL NOT be greater than unity.

SP= Y(AC, *CsEq)*SPSF*AF*(F,, + F;ST) (4.1-5)

RDF*FtVST Where:

SP - Specific Activity, adjusted for monitor response (uCi/ml)

ACi - Activity Concentration of nuclide "i" (uCi/ml)

CsEqi - Cs-137 Equivalence, monitor response of nuclide "i" SPSF - Setpoint Safety Factor AF - Allocation Factor FDIL - Dilution Flow (gpm)

FWST - Waste Flow (gpm)

RDF - Require Dilution Factor D. Liquid Set Point (LSP) Determination

1. If no gamma emitter activity is quantified, then the Liquid Set Point Calculation is the default Liquid Set Point value, based on Liquid Source Terms (Table 4.1).
2. Ifthe Waste Flow exceeds the Maximum Permissible Waste Flow then the Liquid Set Point is zero and no release is permitted.

LSP = ec°A+(C°B*1'(sP) (4.1-6)

Where:

LSP - Liquid Set Point (cpm)

COA - Monitor Calibration Coefficient A COB - Monitor Calibration Coefficient B

3. SP - Specific Activity adjusted for monitor response (uCi/mi) The monitor high alarm setpoint above background (ncpm), SHALL be set at or below the LSP value.

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT H PROCEDURE NUMBER:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 41 of 156 4.1.3 Maximum Waste Flow Determination As a further verification, and to ensure the release concentration limits are not exceeded, and to identify flow throttling requirements, a maximum waste flow rate is determined, as follows:

If the Required Dilution Factor is < 1, the release rate limit is unlimited.

If the Required Dilution Factor is > 1, then:

FMA = FDL * (1 - Y*(DAC, I ECL,.))* AF

  • SPSF (4.1-7)

RDF Where:

FMAX - Maximum Permissible Waste Flow (gpm)

FOIL - Dilution Flow (gpm)

DACi - Dilution Activity concentration of nuclide "i" (uCi/ml)

ECLi - Effluent Concentration of nuclide "i" (uCi/mI)

AF - Allocation Factor SPSF - Setpoint Safety Factor RDF - Require Dilution Factor In the absence of activity in the dilution water, the equation becomes:

FMAX = FDIL - AF

  • SPSF (4.1-8)

RDF 4.1.4 Discharge Canal Monitor (R-21)

The Discharge Canal Monitor (R-21) provides direct measurement of the diluted plant effluent concentration, monitoring the various streams feeding the discharge canal, with the exception of the Waste Liquid Discharge Header.

The Waste Liquid Discharge Header is extended to the end of the discharge canal to a point just upstream of the river release sluice gates.

This line effectively bypasses R-21.

The Waste Liquid Discharge Header effluents are Steam Generator Blowdown releases and Radioactive Liquid Waste Tank Batch releases from the Auxiliary Building.

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT H PROCEDURE NUMBER:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 42 of 156 The activity of effluents released from the site, other than the Waste Liquid Discharge Header are typically negligible. R-21 is an atypical release monitor, for the purpose of identifying unanticipated releases.

The Discharge Canal Monitor alarm set point is set at a minimal value to detect minimal activity, without generating spurious alarms.

4.1.5 Rad Effluent Monitor Calibration Liquid effluent monitors are calibrated periodically using a Cs-1 37 standard. Since the actual isotopic mixes of the liquids released may contain nuclides with different gamma energies and yields than the calibration standard, the response of the monitor varies with respect to the actual energies and abundances of the nuclides in the mix being monitored when compared to Cs-1 37.

Setpoint determinations or expected monitor readings during or prior to a release are compensated for the difference in gamma energies and yields.

The monitor setpoint calculations and predicted monitor readings are adjusted according to reflect the actual nuclide mix.

The assumption is made that the monitor's response is directly proportional to the gamma energies and yields.

The cumulative errors associated with the monitor calibration methodology are not accounted for in the determination of individual monitor setpoints.

Sufficient conservatism is built into the monitor setpoint determination, such as the required dilution safety factor. Additionally, the use of allocation factors would require that all release paths exceed their respective monitor set points before the limits of ten times the water effluent concentrations of 10CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 (ECLs) were challenged.

For CONTINUOUS RELEASES, the alarm trip setpoints discussed in Section 4.1 will assure that these concentrations are not exceeded. For BATCH RELEASES, concentrations of diluted effluents will be compared to effluent concentrations limits pre-release, providing protection in addition to the alarm trip setpoints discussed in Section 4.1.

4.2.1 Continuous Releases Continuous liquid releases can occur from PINGP through Steam Generator Blowdown. The alarm trip setpoints discussed in Section 4.1 will assure that releases from this pathway will not exceed the limits of ten times the water effluent concentrations of 10CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.

Other continuous releases occur at PINGP, through the turbine building sump system. These releases are minor. A continuous composite sample will be maintained at the discharge from the turbine building sump with samples being taken and analyzed weekly. Ifthese samples indicate significant levels of radionuclides, the methodologies given in section 4.2.2 will be applied to the turbine sump weekly releases and the limit in Equation 4.1-6, as input to Steam Generator Blowdown and BATCH RELEASES, will be lowered to account for this source term. This will be done by the adjustment of allocation factors to these releases.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 44 of 156 4.2.2 Batch Releases To demonstrate compliance with 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, the radioactivity content of each BATCH RELEASE will be determined prior to release. The concentration of the various radionuclides in the BATCH RELEASE prior to dilution, is divided by the minimum dilution flow to obtain the concentration at the UNRESTRICTED AREA.

FDIL Where:

Conci - Concentration of radionuclide i at the site boundary (uCi/ml)

C - Concentration of radionuclide i in the potential batch release FWST - Release rate of the batch FDIL - minimum dilution flow (65,900 gpm)

In accordance with T.S.5.5.4.b, the projected concentration at the UNRESTRICTED AREA is compared to the ten times the water effluent concentrations of Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 of 10CFR20. Before a release may occur, Equation 4.2-2 must be met for all isotopes.

-Conc (4.2-2)

ECLi ECLi - Ten times the water effluent concentration of radionuclide I, from 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 (uCi/ml)

The summation of all source terms, as input to the total contribution to ECL SHALL NOT be greater than 1.0.

The volume of the discharge pipe could contain the volume of 2 to 3 waste batch tanks. To ensure compliance with 10CFR20 when the maximum acceptable discharge flow rate, as calculated in section 4.1.3, is less than the maximum possible release rate from all release sources, the discharge pipe SHALL be flushed with a volume of at least the volume of the discharge pipe. The flush rate SHALL NOT exceed the maximum discharge flow rate and may be accomplished with water from other release paths. If more than one waste batch tank requiring flushing are to be released, the discharge pipe may be flushed following the final tank release.

Volume of discharge pipe = 15,500 gal.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 45 of 156 4.3 Liquid Effluent Dose - Compliance with IOCFR50 Doses resulting from liquid effluents will be calculated at least every 31 days to show compliance with 10CFR50. A cumulative summation of total body and organ doses for each calendar quarter and calendar year will be maintained as well as projected doses for the next month.

Since Fe-55, Sr-89, Sr-90, and alpha concentrations are determined from composite samples, the monthly liquid effluent dose calculations and comparisons to quarterly and annual limits should be completed using the most recent available composite sample results. The quarterly and annual dose calculations SHALL be completed using the actual composite sample results.

The limits of 10CFR50 are on a per reactor unit basis. The liquid radwaste system at PINGP is shared by both reactor units making it impossible to separate the releases of the two units. The releases that can be separated by unit, for steam generator blowdown and turbine building sump releases, contribute a very small portion of the total liquid releases from PINGP. Therefore, for compliance with 10CFR50, the releases from both units will be summed and the limits of Appendix I will be doubled.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 46 of 156 4.3.1 Dose Calculations The dose contribution from the release of liquid effluents will be calculated for each release permit and will be assessed at least every 31 days. The dose contribution will be calculated using the following:

A. Waste Flow Fraction Determination To determine doses from liquid effluents, the waste flow fraction for the period of release must be calculated. This dilution factor must be calculated for each BATCH RELEASE and each CONTINUOUS RELEASE mode. The waste flow fraction is determined by:

WFF = FwsT (4.3-1)

(FD/L + FwsT)

  • MF where:

WFF - Waste Flow Fraction (unitless)

FWST - Waste Flow (gpm)

FDIL - Dilution Flow (gpm)

MF - Mixing Factor*

  • The value of MF is the site specific factor for the mixing effect of the PINGP discharge structure. This value is 10 for PINGP while operating in the closed cycle cooling mode. In once through, or helper mode, the value of MF is 1.0.

A waste flow value of the rated pump flow and a dilution value of 65,900 gpm (147 CFS) is used on dose projections when generating a release permit. Actual values are used for final reported dose.

B. Effluent Activity Determination EC, = WC,

The factor AiT also includes the correction factors of equation 4.3-4. AiT must be reassessed and updated if assessment of specific site dose inputs should change. For instance, a change to AiT could be required in the event that the Mississippi River were to be used as a potable water source.

By employing the Ai factor the dose equation can be reduced to:

Mississippi River water is not used as a potable water supply within 300 miles downstream of the PINGP. Wells are used for irrigation downstream of the plant.

Applicable pathway(s) and age group(s) are determined by the Annual Land Use Census. Ifchanges to the AiT is required, calculations are performed using the methodologies of Regulatory Guide 1.109 Rev. 1. The current values are captured in Table 4.2.

A table of AiT values, for an adult age group and a fish pathway, are presented in Table 4.2.

4.3.2 Accumulation of Doses Doses calculated at least every 31 days will be summed for comparison with quarterly and annual limits. The monthly results should be added to the doses cumulated from the other months in the quarter of interest and in the year of interest for the combined releases of both reactor units and compared to the limits given in Section 2.3.

The quarterly limits represent one half of the annual design objective. If these quarterly or annual limits are exceeded, a special report should be submitted to the USNRC identifying the cause and corrective action to be taken. Iftwice the quarterly or annual limits are exceeded, a special report SHALL be submitted showing compliance with 40CFR190.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 49 of 156 4.3.3 Projection of Doses Anticipated doses resulting from the release of liquid effluents will be projected monthly. If the projected doses would exceed 2 percent of the limit specified in Section 2.3.b, the liquid radwaste treatment system will be used to process waste (T.S. 5.5.4.f).

Projected dose will be the dose for the preceding 31 days, as calculated by Equation 4.3-4.

The total source term utilized for the most recent dose calculation should be used for the projections unless information exists indicating that actual future releases could differ significantly. In this case, the source term would be adjusted to reflect this information and the justification for the adjustment noted. This adjustment should account for any radwaste equipment which was operated during the previous month that could be out of service in the coming month.

Monitor high alarms or isolation setpoints will be established each time a release permit is generated, calculated by the methodology described in section 5.1.1.

Nuclide mix input to the high alarm or isolation setpoint will be:

a. The Gaseous Source Terms (Table 5.2).
1. Used in the case that no gamma emitters are identified in the pre-release samples or for continuous releases which are not anticipated to have gamma emitters and are not evaluated pre-release.
b. Pre-release analysis results
1. Used in the case that gamma emitters are identified in the batch release pre-release samples.

If the calculated setpoint is less than the existing monitor setpoint, the setpoint SHALL be reduced to the calculated setpoint. If the calculated setpoint is greater than the existing setpoint, the setpoint may remain at the lower value or increased, not to exceed the calculated set point.

5.1.1 Effluent Monitors The following method applies when determining the isolation or high alarm setpoint for the monitors listed in Table 5.1.

5.1.2 Air Ejector Monitors Radiation monitors 1R-1 5 and 2R-1 5 provide an indication of gross noble gas activity at the main condenser air ejector of Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. These monitors are provided to give rapid indication of steam generator tube leakage. They are not effluent monitors since the air ejectors are vented to the auxiliary building vents during normal plant operation and releases are monitored by the auxiliary building vent monitoring system.

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT H PROCEDURE NUMBER:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 56 of 156 5.1.3 Monitor Calibration Gaseous effluent monitors are calibrated periodically. Available gas mixes existing in plant systems may be used. Since effluent gas mixes vary in isotopic ratios and the energies of those isotopes span a range of energies, more than one gas mix is used during the calibration.

One calibration is performed with a mix that is predominately Xe-1 33 with lower level beta and gamma energies. A second calibration is performed with a mix containing longer lived plant gases that more accurately represent the higher beta energy range.

The result of this method of calibration is two separate calibration curves for each monitor. The Xe-1 33 curve is applied to setpoint calculations for the Xe-1 33 activity. The second curve is applied to setpoint calculations for balance of noble gases activities.

Setpoint determination and projected monitor reading during release utilize a combination of the two calibration curves, according to the actual nuclide mix.

The cumulative errors associated with the monitor calibration methodology are not accounted for in the determination of the individual monitor setpoints. There is sufficient conservatism built into the selection of the actual monitor setpoint. Additionally, the monitor fractions used in the setpoint determination equation make it necessary for all the effluent monitors to be in alarm before the limits of 10CFR Part 20 would be exceeded.

a. Shield building effluent particulates and iodines are filtered through a PAC (Particulate Absolute Charcoal) system and the auxiliary building vent normal ventilation has no filtration.
b. The lower limit of detection limits specified in Table 3.1 can not be obtained on all the specified nuclides with normal sample flow and sample duration of less than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.
c. Shield building vent releases are monitored via a noble gas monitor.
d. Auxiliary building normal ventilation flow is higher than the special ventilation fans that vent via the shield building vent stack.

Therefore, it is conservative to assume that the auxiliary building normal ventilation system would continue to run during the testing/maintenance period. The surveillance test or maintenance/work being performed should be evaluated to ensure the airborne activity in the affected areas will not increase during the evolution. Ifthis evaluation indicates a possible increase in airborne effluents, or radiation monitors or continuous air monitors in the affected buildings indicate higher than normal background airborne activity before the evolution begins, the shield building vent stack sample SHALL be sampled and analyzed as described in Table 3.1.

Since Sr-89 and Sr-90 concentrations are determined from composite samples, the pre-release, weekly and monthly airborne dose calculations and comparisons to quarterly and annual limits should be completed using the most recent available composite sample results. The quarterly dose values and critical receptors reported to the USNRC SHALL be calculated using the actual composite results.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 58 of 156 5.2.1 Noble Gases To comply with the 10CFR20 dose limit of 100 mrem TEDE to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, the dose rate at the SITE BOUNDARY resulting from noble gas effluents is limited to 500 mrem/yr to the total body and 3000 mrem/yr to the skin. The setpoint determinations discussed in the previous section are based on the dose calculation method presented in NUREG-0133. They represent a backward solution to the limiting dose equations in NUREG-01 33. Setting monitor alarm trip points in this manner will assure that the limits of 10CFR20 are met for noble gas releases. Therefore, no routine dose calculations for noble gases will be needed to show compliance with this part. Routine calculations will be made for doses from noble gas releases to show compliance with 10CFR50, Appendix I as discussed in Section 5.3.1.

5.2.2 Radioiodine, Radioactive Particulates, and Other Radionuclides For compliance with 10CFR20, the dose rate at the SITE BOUNDARY resulting from the release of radioiodine and particulates with half lives greater than 8 days is limited to 1500 mremlyr to any organ. Calculations showing compliance with this dose rate limit will be performed for BATCH RELEASES prior to the release.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 64 of 156 Equation 5.3-3 will be applied to each combination of age group and organ. Values of Rijak have been calculated using the methodology given in NUREG-0133 and are maintained in H4.2, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Supporting Data". Dose factors for isotopes not listed will be determined in accordance with the methodology in Appendix B.

B. Accumulation of Doses Doses calculated monthly will be summed for comparison with quarterly and annual limits. The monthly results should be added to the doses cumulated from the other months in the quarter of interest and in the year of interest and compared with the limits in Section 3.5.

If these limits are exceeded, a special report will be submitted to the USNRC. If twice the limits are exceeded, a special report showing compliance with 40CFR190 will be submitted.

5.3.3 Projection of Doses Doses resulting from the release of gaseous effluents will be projected at least every 31 days. The doses calculated for the present month will be used as the projected doses unless information exists indicating that actual releases could differ significantly in the next month. In this case the source terms will be adjusted to reflect this information and the justification for the adjustment noted. Ifthe projected release of noble gases for the month exceeds 2 percent of the calendar year limits of equation 5.3-1 or 5.3-2, additional waste gas treatment will be provided. Ifthe projected release of 1-131, 1-133, tritium, and radioactive particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days exceeds 2 percent of the calendar year limit of equation 5.3-3, operation of the ventilation exhaust treatment equipment is required if not currently in use.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 65 of 156 5.3.4 Critical Receptor Identification For Compliance with 10CFR50 App I ALARA design objectives, two critical receptor locations will be identified to demonstrate compliance with limits on dose to air or individual MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC in unrestricted areas from plant effluents.

For noble gases the critical location will be based on the beta and gamma air doses only. This location will be the offsite location with the highest long term vent x /Q values maintained in H4.2, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Supporting Data". This location will remain the same unless meteorological data is reevaluated or the SITE BOUNDARY changes.

The critical location for the 1-131, 1-133, tritium, and long-lived particulate pathway will be selected once each year. The selection will follow the annual land use census performed within 5 miles of the PINGP. Each of the following locations will be evaluated as potential critical receptors.

1. Residence in each sector
2. Vegetable garden producing leafy green vegetables
3. All identified milk animal locations Following the annual survey, doses will be calculated using Equation 5.3-3 for all new identified receptors and those receptors whose characteristics have changed significantly. The calculation will include appropriate information about each new location. The dispersion parameters given in this manual should be employed. The total releases reported for the previous calendar year should be used as the source terms.

In certain cases, the Critical Receptor identified may not produce conservative doses in comparison to a past Critical Receptor. A past Critical Receptor may no longer qualify, based on such criteria as discontinuing the maintenance of a qualifying garden. In this case the option to consider a qualifying garden to still exist may be chosen, when doses may be proven to be conservative, with regards to the newly identified Critical Receptor, based on radioactive effluent releases. This position complies with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Branch Technical Position, Revision 1, dated November, 1979.

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

This control applies to the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents from all units at the site.

Secondary condenser drains were not included in the routine sampling requirements of Table 2.1. Operating experience has shown that the condenser activity during plant transients normally consists of very low levels of tritium. Condensers are normally only released directly to the environment during plant startups and shutdowns and these volumes combined with the low levels of activity are insignificant when compared to the waste tank activities. Condenser releases should be sampled and analyzed during a significant plant event (i.e. steam generator tube rupture, or steam dump to the condenser with a primary to secondary leak >725 gpd).

2.3/2.4 DOSE Provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10CFR Part 50. The Limiting Condition for Operation implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide 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 material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". Considering that the nearest drinking water supply using the river for drinking water is more than 300 miles downstream, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radioactive concentrations in the drinking water that are in excess of the 40CFR141 requirements.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 84 of 156 2.5/2.6 LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS Provides assurance that the liquid radwaste treatment system will be available for use whenever liquid effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirements that appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents be kept "as low as reasonably achievable". This control implements the requirements of 10CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10CFR Part 50 and the design objective given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10CFR Part 50. The limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste system were specified as a suitable fraction of the guide set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I, 10CFR Part 50, for liquid effluents.

The liquid radwaste treatment system is shared by both units. It is not practical to determine the contribution from each unit to liquid radwaste releases. For this reason, liquid radwaste releases will be allocated equally to each unit.

2.7/2.8 RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The radioactive liquid effluent monitoring 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 Setpoint for these instruments SHALL be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodologies and parameters in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding ten times the water effluent concentration limits of 10CFR Part 20. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10CFR Part 50.

Radiation monitor set points are calculated to provide alarm and trip functions to ensure concentration of radioactive materials in liquid waste effluents released from the site to UNRESTRICTED AREAS, does not exceed the noted specific limits. The methodology prescribed in the ODCM for these calculations is acceptable for use in demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR 20.1301 (a)(1), 10 CFR 50.36A, 10CFR 50, Appendix A (GDC 60

& 64) and Appendix I, and 40 CFR 190.

Revision to the ODCM requires Operations Committee review and approval to ensure the revision continues to demonstrate compliance.

Specific monitor set point changes, when performed in accordance the methodology as reviewed and approved by the Operations Committee need not be reviewed by the Operations Committee. Specific monitor set point changes will be reviewed and approved by the Department Manager administering the ODCM program and the Radiation Monitor Engineer. The calculation sheet supporting the set point change is submitted to engineering for documentation.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 H MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 85 of 156 2.9/2.10 LIQUID STORAGE TANKS Restricting the quantities of radioactive material contained in the specified tanks provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the contents of the tank, the resulting concentrations would be less than the limits of 10CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, in an UNRESTRICTED AREA.

3.0 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS 3.1/3.2 DOSE RATE This control is provided to ensure that the dose rate at any time at the SITE BOUNDARY from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10CFR Part 20 for UNRESTRICTED AREAS. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1. These limits provide reasonable assurance that the radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual in an UNRESTRICTED AREA to annual average concentrations exceeding limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 10CFR Part 20. For individuals who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of the 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 less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY.

This control applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluent from all units at the site.

3.3/3.4 DOSE FROM NOBLE GAS This control is provided to implement the requirements of Sections lI.B, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10CFR Part 50. The Limiting Conditions for Operation implement the guides set forth in Section II.B of Appendix I. The ACTION statement provides the required operating flexibility and at the same time implements the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the release of radioactive material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable".

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 86 of 156 3.5/3.6 DOSE FROM IODINE 131, IODINE 133, TRITIUM & PARTICULATES Implements the requirements of Section II.C, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10CFR Part 50.

The Limiting Conditions for Operation are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I.

The ACTIONS statement provides the required operating flexibility and at the same time implements 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 reasonable achievable".

The release rate specifications for 1-131, 1-133, tritium and radioactive particulates with half-lives greater than eight days are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC in the UNRESTRICTED AREA, using child dose conversion factors. 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.

3.7/3.8 GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS This control provides assurance that the Waste Gas Treatment System and the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEMS will be available for use whenever gaseous wastes are released to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of the Waste Gas Treatment System be used when specified provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable". This specification implements the requirements of 10CFR 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10CFR Part 50, and the design objective given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the systems were specified as a suitable fraction of the guide set forth in Sections 11.B and II.C of Appendix I, 10CFR Part 50, for gaseous effluents.

The Waste Gas Treatment System, containment purge release vent, and spent fuel pool are shared by both units. Experience has also shown that contributions from both units are released from each auxiliary building vent. For these reasons, it is not practical to allocate releases to a specific unit. All releases will be allocated equally in determining conformance to the design objectives of 10CFR Part 50, Appendix I.

Restricting the quantities of radioactivity which can be stored in one decay tank provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tank's contents, the resulting total body exposure to an individual at the nearest EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY will not exceed 0.5 rem.

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT H PROCEDURE NUMBER:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 87 of 156 The cooling towers at Prairie Island are located to the south of the plant and are within 500 to 2000 feet from the point of release. At low wind velocities (below 10 mph) the gaseous activity released from the gaseous radwaste system could be at or near ground level near the cooling towers and remain long enough to be drawn into the circulating water in the tower. This control minimizes the possibility of releases of gaseous effluents from entering the river from cooling tower scrubbing.

3.9/3.10 EXPLOSIVE GAS MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION To ensure the concentration of potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the waste gas treatment system is maintained below the flammability limits of hydrogen and oxygen.

Automatic control features are included in the system to prevent the hydrogen and oxygen concentrations from reaching these flammability limits. Maintaining the concentrations below the flammability limit provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials will be controlled in conformance with the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10CFR Part 50.

The waste gas treatment system is a pressurized system with two potential sources of oxygen: 1) oxygen added for recombiner operation, and 2) placing tanks vented for maintenance back on the system. The system is operated with flow through the recombiners and with excess hydrogen in the system. By verifying that oxygen is less than or equal to 2% at the recombiner outlet, there will be no explosive mixtures in the system. Waste gas system oxygen is monitored by the two recombiner oxygen analyzers and the 121 gas analyzer. The 121 gas analyzer only monitors the low level loop of the waste gas system. If the required gas analyzers are not operable, the oxygen to the recombiner will be isolated to prevent oxygen from entering the system from this source.

Tanks that may undergo maintenance are normally purged with nitrogen before placing them in service to eliminate this as a source of oxygen.

3.11/3.12 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring 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 Setpoint for these instruments SHALL be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodologies and parameters in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10CFR Part 20. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10CFR Part 50.

6.0 TOTAL DOSE This control is provided to meet the dose limitations of 10CFR Part 190 that have been incorporated into 10CFR 20 by FR 18525. The control requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources exceed 25 mrems to the whole body or to any organ, except the thyroid, which SHALL be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrems. For sites containing up to four reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40CFR Part 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose design objectives of Appendix I, and if direct radiation doses from the units (including outside storage tanks, etc.) are kept small. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within 40CFR Part 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium 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 8 km must be considered. If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40CFR Part 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40CFR 190.11 & 10CFR 20.405c, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40CFR Part 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10CFR Part 20, as addressed in Specification 2.1 and 3.1. An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation that is part of the nuclear fuel cycle.

This program thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels are not higher than expected in the bases of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.

The detection capabilities required by Table 7.1 are state-of-the art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories and the LLDs for drinking water meet the requirement of 40CFR Part 141.

7.3/7.4 LAND USE CENSUS This control is provided to ensure that changes in the use of off site areas are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of the census. The best survey information from door-to-door, aerial or consulting with local agricultural authorities SHALL be used. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 500 square feet provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were used: 1) that 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) a vegetation yield of 2 kg/square meter.

7.5/7.6 INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM The requirement for participation in an 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.

a. The LLD is defined, for purposes of these controls, as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will d detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.

For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:

LLD = the "a priori" lower limit of detection (microCurie per unit mass or volume),

Sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),

E = the counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),

V = the sample size (units of mass or volume),

2.22 x 106 - the number of disintegrations per minute per microCurie, Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable,

and A-t = the elapsed time between the midpoint of sample collection and the time of counting (sec).

Typical values of E, V, Y, and A, should be used in the calculation.

This list does not mean that only the nuclides are to be detected and reported. Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, SHALL also be identified and reported.
d. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses should not be reported as being present at the LLD level. When unusual circumstances result in LLDs higher than required, the reasons SHALL be documented in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Report.

f. To be representative of the quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples SHALL be collected continuously in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream. Prior to analyses, all samples taken for the composite SHALL be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the effluent release.

a. The LLD is defined, for purposes of these controls, as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.

For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:

4.66Sb LLD =

E. V*2.22X 106eY oexp (- AA/)

where:

LLD = the "a priori" lower limit of detection (microCurie per unit mass or volume.

Sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute).

E - the counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),

V - the sample size (units of mass or volume),

2.22 x 106 the number of disintegrations per minute per microCurie, Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable, x, = the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide (sec-1), and At = the elapsed time between the midpoint of sample collection and the time of counting (sec).

Typical values of E, V, Y, and At should be used in the calculation.

It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a pRior (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.

b. Grab samples taken at the ventilation exhausts are generally below minimum detectable levels for most nuclides with existing analytical equipment. Ifthis is the case, Gaseous Source Terms (Table 5.2) noble gas isotopic ratios may be assumed.
c. With >1 pCi/gm DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 in either Unit 1 or Unit 2 reactor coolant system, the iodine and particulate collection devices for all release points SHALL be removed and analyzed daily until it is shown that a pattern exists which can be used to predict the release rate. Sampling may then revert to weekly. When samples collected for one day are analyzed, the corresponding LLD's may be increased by a factor of 10. Samples SHALL be analyzed within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after removal.
d. To be representative of the average quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in particulate form in gaseous effluents, samples should be collected in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent streams.
e. The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD control applies include the following radionuclides: Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 for noble gas analysis and Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144 in iodine and particulate analysis. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered. Other gamma peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the above nuclides, SHALL also be detected and reported.
f. Nuclides which are below the LLD for analyses should not be reported as being present at the LLD level for that nuclide. When unusual circumstances result in LLD's higher than reported, the reasons SHALL be documented in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Report.
g. For continuous samples, the ratio of the sample flow rate to the samples stream flow rate SHALL be known for the time period sampled (Conservative assumptions may be used). Design flow rates may be used for building exhaust vent flow rates.
h. A continuous sample is one in which the sampling media is in place at all times during the release period, with the exception of periods necessary to change sampling media and scheduled short term equipment maintenance of two hours or less. Ifthe sample media is not in place during the entire release period (except as described above), an explanation of the occurrence, actions taken to restore the sampler and to prevent reoccurrence, and a summary description to explain the occurrence's effect on the analysis validity SHALL be included in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Report.

Releases are made via the shield building vents only during PURGING, or operation of special ventilation systems. When ventilation fans in any vent path are not in service for the entire sample period, in lieu of weekly removal and analysis of iodine and particulate collection devices, these devices may be removed and analyzed following each release provided that the release lasts less than one week. Releases made via the plant ventilation paths as a result of routine surveillance tests, operational testing or scheduled short term maintenance activities of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> or less do not require special sampling and analysis provided that plant conditions do not indicate the completion of these activities would cause an increase in the release of activity. Removal and analysis of collection devices is not required if releases are not being made.

j. Grab samples for atmospheric steam releases are representative liquid grab samples from the respective steam generator.
k. Atmospheric steam releases are the timed releases of steam from the steam generators to the atmosphere via either the power operated reliefs, steam dump valves or flash tank vents. It does not include steam dumped via the condenser.

A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of steam released and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen which is representative of the total steam released form the respective steam generator.

m. Containment Purges includes PURGE releases with either the Inservice Purge or Containment Purge Fans and also VENTING of containment utilizing the Post Loca Vent System. When the release is completed via the Post Loca Vent, the pre-release tritium, particulate and charcoal samples should be used for all analyses, and continuous samples collected during the release are not required. During Cold Shutdown periods, the availability of ventilation systems and the position of containment air-lock doors may require that portions of the required samples be collected with installed continuous monitors or portable sampling equipment.

For a particular measurement system (which may include radiochemical separation):

LLD = 4.66Sb E.V.2.22.Y.exp(-A Ar)

Where:

LLD is the appropriate lower limit of detection as defined above (as Pico curie per unit mass or volume), Sb is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute).

In calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma-ray spectrometry, the background SHALL include the typical contributing of other radionuclides normally present in the samples (e.g., potassium-40 in milk samples). Typical values of E, V, Y and AT SHALL be used in the calculations.

E is the counting efficiency (as counts per transformation),

2.22 is the number of transformation per minute per Pico curie, Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable),

X. is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide, and AT is the elapsed time between sample collection (or end of the sample collection period) and time of counting.

b - Drinking water pathway limit.

c - Total for parent and daughter d - These LLDs apply only where ,1311 analysis" is specified.

e - Where 54Mn, 59 "Gamma Isotopic Analysis" is specified, the LLD specification applies to the following radionuclides:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 135 of 156 Appendix A Summary of Dispersion Calculation Procedures Undepleted, undecayed dispersion parameters were computed using the computer program XOQDOQ (Sagendorf and Goll, 1977). Specifically, sector average X/Q and D/Q values were obtained for a sector width of 22.5 degrees. Building wake corrections were used to adjust calculations for ground-level releases. Standard open terrain recirculation correction factors were also applied as available as default values in XOQDOQ.

Dispersion calculations were based on ground level releases for the shield buildings, turbine buildings, and auxiliary building (hereafter referred to as the plant complex). A summary of release conditions used as input to XOQDOQ is presented in Table A-1 and controlling site boundary distances are defined in Table A-2. Computed X/Q and D/Q values for site boundary locations (relative to release points) and for standard distances (to five miles from the source in 0.1 mile increments) are maintained in H4.2, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Supporting Data".

Onsite meteorological data is collected over a representative time period. A 5 year period is suggested to ensure year to year variances do not bias the data set. This data reduced to joint frequency tables and used as input to the XOQDOQ determinations. Data is collected and delta-T stability classes are defined in conformance with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.23.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 141 of 156 Appendix B Dose Parameters for Radioiodines, Particulates and Tritium This appendix contains the methodology which was used to calculate the dose parameters for radioiodines, particulates, and tritium to show compliance with 10CFR20 and Appendix I of 10CFR50 for gaseous effluents. These dose parameters, Pi and Ri, were calculated using the methodology outlines in NUREG-0133 along with Regulatory Guide 1.109 Revision 1. The following sections provide the specific methodology which was utilized in calculating the Pi and Ri values for the various exposure pathways.

B.1 Calculation of PI The parameter, Pi, contained in the radioiodine and particulates portion of Section 5.2, includes pathway transport parameters of the ith radionuclide, the receptor's usage of the pathway media and the dosimetry of the exposure. Pathway usage rates and the internal dosimetry are functions of the receptor's age: however, the child age group, will always receive the maximum dose under the exposure conditions assumed.

B.1.1 Inhalation Pathway Pi = K' (BR) DFAi (B.1-1)

Where:

Pi = dose parameter for radionuclide i for the inhalation pathway, mrem/yr per pLci/m3; K' = a constant of unit conversion:

= 106 pCi/gCi; BR = the breathing rate of the child age group, m 3/yr; DFAi = the maximum organ inhalation dose factor for the child age group for radionuclide i, mrem/pCi.

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT H PROCEDURE NUMBER:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 29 Page 142 of 156 Appendix B Dose Parameters for Radioiodines, Particulates and Tritium The age group considered is the child group. The child's breathing rate is taken as 3700 m3/yr from Table E-5 of Regulatory Guide 1.109 Revision 1. The inhalation dose factors for the child DFAj, are presented in Table E-9 of Regulatory Guide 1.109 in units of mrem/pCi. The total body is considered as an organ in the selection of DFA1 . The incorporation of breathing rate of the child and the unit conversion factor results in the following:

Pil = 3.7 x 109 DFAi (B.1-2)

B.2 Calculation of Ri The radioiodine and particulate specification is applicable to the location in the unrestricted area where the combination of existing pathways and receptor age groups indicates the maximum potential exposure occurs. The inhalation and ground plane exposure pathways SHALL be considered to exist at all locations. The grass-goat-milk, the grass-cow-milk, grass-cow-meat, and vegetation pathways are considered based on their existence at the various locations. Ri values have been calculated for the adult, teen, child, and infant age groups for the ground plane, cow milk, goat milk, vegetable and beef ingestion pathways. The methodology which was utilized to calculate these values is presented below.

B.2.1 Inhalation Pathway R* = K' (BR)a (DFAi)a (B.2-1) where:

2.2 Applicability This section of the PCP is applicable to manual solidification of waste liquids with masonry cement. Manual solidification may include the use of a portable, power-operated mixer.

Waste liquids which are normally solidified manually include:

  • I Laundry sludge.
  • 2 Decon solutions.

2.3 Sequence of Operation 2.3.1 Place desired amount of liquid in an approved container (normally 1/2 to 2/3 full).

2.3.2 Commence mixing.

2.3.3 Add cement while continuing to mix at the rate of 1 ft. 3 (1 bag) per 6.25 gal.

of liquid or until mixture begins to thicken. Continue to mix until all of the cement is incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

2.3.4 Remove the mixer. (ifapplicable) 2.4 Cure Time Solidification can normally be expected within two to three days.

2.5 Verification of Solidification 2.5.1 Each container of manually solidified waste liquid SHALL be inspected to verify solidification and the absence of free water. A container may be considered solid when the cemented mass offers significant resistance to penetration by a hammer or similar object. Absence of free water may be determined visually.

IF solidification fails to take place, THEN the process SHALL be suspended until the cause is determined and remedies are defined.

This method utilizes spent bead resin to filter out suspended particulates allowing normal processing of the resultant liquid. Disposal volumes and personnel exposures are thus reduced.

3.2 Applicability The following waste liquids may be processed using this procedure:

3.2.1 Laundry sludge.

3.2.2 Decon solutions.

3.2.3 Filter sludge.

3.2.4 Mop bucket slurry.

3.2.5 Tank bottoms.

3.2.6 Sump bottoms.

NOTE: ,Evaporator Concentrates may not be processed using this procedure.

The above list is not to be considered complete. Items may be added or deleted upon evaluation of the Rad Materials Shipping Coordinator.

3.3.2 Ensure adequate volume for the quantity of material to be processed.

3.3.3 Pump/pour liquid slurry into liner.

3.3.4 Flush drum and/or container, pump and hoses to liner.

3.4 Dewatering Procedure Dewater as per Section 5.0 "Dewatering of Bead Resin" to ensure there is no free standing water in either the resin or the sludge.

4.0 MANUAL SOLIDIFICATION OF WET TRASH BY SUBMERSION 4.1 Purpose To establish parameters which provide reasonable assurance of complete solidification of liquid contained in wet trash.

4.2 Applicability This section of the PCP is applicable to solidification of wet trash with masonry cement.

Wet trash includes contaminated material such as mopheads, wet rags, paper towels, etc.

4.3 Sequence of Operation 4.3.1 Place desired amount of liquid in an approved container (normally 1/2 to 2/3 full).

FOR SOLIDIFICATIONIDEWATERING OF D59 RADIOACTIVE WASTE FROM LIQUID REV: 11 SYSTEMS Page 8 of 14 Contaminated liquids may be used for this purpose.

4.3.2 Commence mixing.

4.3.3 Add cement while continuing to mix at the rate of 1 cu. ft. (one bag) per 6.25 gal of liquid or until the mixture begins to thicken. Continue to mix until all of the cement is incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Remove the mixer (if applicable).

4.3.4 Immerse items of wet trash into the cemented mass using a stick or similar device. Attempt to put as many items of trash as possible into the container within the limits of ALARA.

4.4 Cure Time Solidification can normally be expected within two to three days.

4.5 Verification of Solidification Each container SHALL be inspected to verify solidification and the absence of free water. A container may be considered solid when the cemented mass offers significant resistance to penetration by a hammer or similar object. Absence of free water may be determined visually.

IF solidification fails to take place, THEN the process SHALL be suspended until the cause is identified and remedies are determined.

4.6 Disposition WHEN solidification and the absence of free water has been verified, THEN the container may be capped and deconned. Record the container number together with the contents, and radiation level. The container is then placed in storage to await shipment and disposal.

5.2 Applicability This section of the PCP is applicable disposal site or processor's criteria to all radioactively contaminated bead resin which is intended to be shipped dewatered (not solidified) for disposal.

5.3 Dewatering Procedure The dewatering procedure varies with the supplier of the resin liner, with the type of liner, whether a steel liner or a high integrity container (HIC), and with the dewatering requirement of the disposal site. Individual shipping procedures unique to the particular container and disposal site or processor refer to the appropriate dewatering procedure.

In general, however, the dewatering process normally consists of the following steps after the liner has been filled:

5.3.1 Initial pumpdown with the diaphragm pump until suction is lost.

5.3.2 A waiting period (twenty hours, for example).

5.3.3 Final dewatering consisting of one or more pumpdowns using a diaphragm pump or a vacuum pumping system.

5.4 Verification of Dewatering Preceding shipment, connect and operate the dewatering pump as before. IF no water is present, THEN the dewatering process is complete.

IF water is found, THEN pump until vacuum is lost. Repeat the pump/wait cycle as required. WHEN no more water can be removed, THEN the dewatering process is complete.

SYSTEMS SS MPage 10 of 14 6.0 DEWATERING OF POWDERED RESIN 6.1 Purpose To describe the process used to provide reasonable assurance that powdered resin is dewatered to meet applicable disposal site criteria.

6.2 Applicability This section of the PCP is applicable to all radioactively contaminated powdered resin which is intended to be shipped for burial or processing.

6.3 System Description Contaminated powdered resin originates in the Condensate Polishing System Filter Demineralizers of both units.

Spent resin is purged from the Filter Demineralizers to the Backwash Waste Receiving Tank where it awaits the dewatering/drying process.

The dewatering/drying process takes place in the Clamshell Backwash Waste Filter

("Clamshell").

There are two Clamshells to serve the needs of both units, each capable of being aligned to either unit. It is the function of the clamshells to filter the powdered resin out of the water-resin slurry that is pumped from the Backwash Waste Receiving Tank, thru the Clamshells. When a cake of resin develops in the Clamshell to a predetermined thickness, the filtering process automatically switches to a purge phase followed by a forced air drying phase. The duration of the air drying phase can be adjusted. Experience, however, has demonstrated that a drying cycle of approximately 12 minutes produces a product sufficiently dry to meet disposal site requirements yet not so dry as to create an airborne contamination hazard.

When the air-dry cycle is completed, the resin is dumped from the Clamshell into a hopper from which it is conducted down an enclosed chute to a container below. If the resin is insufficiently dried it will not flow freely down the chute.

6.4 Disposal Powdered resin which has been processed thru the Clamshell system does not normally receive further dewatering treatment. Powdered resin may, therefore, be shipped in a container not fitted with dewatering equipment such as a steel drum or box. Because processed powdered resin is sufficiently dry to flow freely, and because powdered resin is normally very low in specific activity, if approved, it may be used to fill interstitial space in shipments of non-compatible trash or to fill voids in other shipping containers where they occur.

FOR SOLIDIFICATIONIDEWATERING OF D59 RADIOACTIVE WASTE FROM LIQUID REV: 11 SYSTEMS Page 12 of 14 7.4 Dewatering The dewatering process may vary with type and manufacture of container and with requirements of the disposal facility. Typically, however, the dewatering process consists of the following steps:

7.4.1 Allow wait period (typically 20 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />) for water if present to migrate to the bottom of the container.

7.4.2 Connect the dewatering pump to the dewatering element hose. Conduct the pump discharge hose to a container to enable monitoring of discharge volume.

7.4.3 Start the dewatering pump. IF no water is found, THEN the container may be considered to be dewatered.

IF water is found, THEN pump until vacuum is lost, THEN stop the pump and begin another wait period.

Repeat the pump/wait cycle until no more water can be removed.

7.5 Verification of Dewatering Preceding shipment, connect and operate the dewatering pump as before. IF no water is present, THEN the dewatering process is complete.

IF water is found, THEN pump until vacuum is lost. Repeat the pump/wait cycle as required. WHEN no more water can be removed, THEN the dewatering process is complete.
