b. Table indicates acceptable detection capabilities for radioactive materials in environmental samples. These detection capabilities are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLD is defined, for purposes of this guide, as the smallest concentration, of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count (above system background) that will be detected with at least 95% probability with at most 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.

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

4 66* sb LLD = E V'22 Y where LLD is the lower limit of detection as defined above (as pCi 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).

E is the counting efficiency (as counts per disintegration).

V is the sample size (in units of mass or volume).

2.22 is the number of disintegrations per minute per picocurie.

Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable).

4.66 is the factor used when background has. been subtracted from the sample count. For measurements in which the background is not subtracted, the factor 3 .29 shall be used.

The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 11. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual in an unrestricted area, either within or outside the exclusion area boundary, to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 11 of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR Part 20.106(b)). For individuals who may at times be within the exclusion area boundary, the occupancy of the individual will be sufficiently low to compensate fo'r any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the exclusion area 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 exclusion area boundary to <(500) mrem/year to the total body or to <(3000) mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding organ dose rate above background to an infant via the inhalation pathway to < 1500 mrem/year.

The ODCM calculational methods specified in the surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The ODCM calculational methods for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are required to be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculating of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for, the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I", Revision I, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from ST. LUCIE UNIT 1 B 3/4 11-3 Hay 13, 1982

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES Light-Mater-Cooled Reactors", Revision 1, July 1977. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical (or real) average atmospheric conditions. The release rate specifications for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the unrestricted area. 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) depositon on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

3/4-11.2.4 GASEOUS WASTE TREATMENT The OPERABILITY of the appropriate subsystems of the gaseous radwaste treatment system ensures that the system will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require holdup prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of these systems be used when speci, fied provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". This specification implements the requirements of'10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and design objective Section IID of Appendix I to 10 CFR 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 11B and 11.C of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, for gaseous effluents.

ST. LUCIE UNIT 1 B 3/4 11-4 May 13, 1982

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES 3/F 11.2 ' EXPLOSIVE GAS MIXTURE This'pecification is provided to ensure that the concentration of potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the waste gas holdup system is maintained below the flammability limits of hydrogen and oxygen.

Maintaining the concentration of hydrogen and oxygen below their flammability limits 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.

3/F 11.2.6 GAS DECAY TANKS Restricting the quantity of radioactivity contained in each gas decay tank provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tanks conten6s, the resulting total body exposure to an individual at the nearest exclusion area boundary will not exceed 0.5 rem, as per Safety Guide 24. This is consistent with Standard Review Plan 15.7.1, "Waste Gas System Failure".

s 3/4. 12 RADIOLOG AL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING BASES t

The radiological monitoring program required by this specification provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from the station operation.

This monitoring program thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.

The detection capabilities required by Table 4 .12 .-1 are state-of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. The LLD limits for drinking water meet the requirements of 40 CFR 141.

3/4 ~ 12 ~ 1 LAND USE CENSUS This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of unrestricted areas are identified and,that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by'he results of this census. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.8.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 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 mimimum garden size, the following assumptions were used, 1) that 20X 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. Broad leaf vegetation sampling may be performed at the site boundary in the direction sector with the highest (D/Q) in lieu of performing the garden census.

3/4 '2.3 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'rogram for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are reasonably valid.
