ENCLOSURE, GENERAL CONTENTS OF THE ODCt1*

Section 1 - Set Points Providq ghee, equations and methodology to be used at tne station,or ygj4 for each alarm an'd trip set point on each effluent release point according to the Specifications 3.3.3.8 and 3.3.3.9.

Provide the alarm and control location, the monitor description, location, power source,

scale, range and identification number, and the effluent isolation control device, its
location, power source and identification number.

If the set point value is variable, provide the equation to be used to predetermine the set point value that will assure that the Specification.is met at each release

point, and the value to be used when releases are not in progress.

If dilution or dispersion is used, describe the on-site eauipment and measurement method used during release, the site related parameters and the set points used to assure that the Specification is met at each release point, in-cluding any administrative controls applicable at the station or unit.

The fixed and predetermined set points should consider the radioactive effluent to have a radionuclide distribution represented by normal and anticipated operational occurrences.

Other features, such as surveillance requirements and the calibration method, should be addressed.

Section 2 - Li uid Effluent Concentration Provide the equations and methodology to be used at the station or unit for each liquid release point according to the Specification 3. 11. l.l.

For "The format for the ODCH is left up to the licensee and may be simplified by tables and grid printout.

Each page should be numbered and indicate the facility approval and effective date.

continuous and/or batch releases the assumptions used for manual and auto-matic 4q~ipation. of releases should be provided.

For hatch re)capes, tIle calculational

methods, equations and assumptions
used, together with the pre-release and post-release analyses should be provided.

Other features, such as surveillance requirements, sampling and analysis program, detection limitations and representative sampling should be addressed.

Section 3 - Gaseous Effluent Dose Pate Provide the equations and methodology to be used at the station or unit for each gaseous release point according to Specification 3.11.2.1.

Consider the various pathways, release point elevations, site related parameters and radionuclide contribution to the dose impact limitation.

Provide the equa-tions and assumptions used, stipulating the pathway, receptor location and receptor age.

Provide the dose factors to be used for the identified radio-nuclides released.

Provide the annual average dispersion values (X/(} and D/(}), the site specific parameters and release point elevations.

Other

The section should describe how the dose contributions are to be calculated for the various pathways and release

points, the equations and assumptions to be used, the site specific parameters to be

4) measured and used, the receptor location by direction and distance, and the method of estimating and updating cumulative doses due to liquid,releases.

The dose factors, pathway transfer factors, pathway usage factors, and dilution factors for th points of pathway origin, etc.,

should be given, as well,as receptor age group, water and food consumption rate and other factors assumed or measured.

Also, provide the criteria for determininq -short and long term releases.

OtIier features such as surveillance requirements, sampling and analysis program, detection limitations and representative sampling should be addressed.

points, the equations and assumptions to be used, the site specific para-meters to be measured and used, the receptor location by direction and dis-
tance, and the method estimating and updating cumulative doses due to gaseous releases.

should be given, as well t

as'receptor age group, crop yield, grazing time and other factors assumed or measured.

and release point elevations used in these determinations.

Other features such as surveillance reaui rements, sampling and analysis program, detection limitations and representative samplino should be addressed.

systems, provide the method of projecting doses due to effluent releases for the normal and alternate path-ways of treatment according to the specifications, describing the components and subsystems to be used.

Section 7 - 0 erabilit of Equipment Provide a flow diagram(s) defining the treatment paths and the components of the radioactive liquid, gaseous and solid waste management systems that are to be maintained and used, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36a, to meet Technical Specifications

3. 11.2.4 and 3. 11.3. 1; Subcomponents of packaged equipment can be identified by a list.

For operating reactors whose con-struction permit applications were filed prior to January 2,

1971, the flow diagram(s) shall be consistent with the information provided in conformance with Section V. B.l of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.

For OL applications whose construction permits were filed after January 2,

1971, the flow diagram( s) shall be consistent with the information provided in Chapter 11 of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) or amendments thereto.
