- a. The release of radioactive liquid effluents shall be such that the concentration in the circulating water discharge when averaged over one hour does not exceed ten times the concentration values specified in Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 to 10 CFR Part 20.1001 -20.2402. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the total activity due to dissolved or entrained noble gases shall not exceed 2 E-04 uCi/ml. If the concentration of radioactive material in the circulating water discharge exceeds these limits, measures shall be initiated to restore the concentration to within these limits as soon as practicable. If the concentration when averaged over one hour exceeds twenty times the applicable concentrations specified in Appendix B of 10CFR Part 20, Table 2, Column 2, at the point of entry to receiving waters, submit to the commission a special report within 30 days.
- b. The radioactivity content of each batch of. radioactive liquid waste to be discharged shall be determined prior to release by sampling and analysis in accordance with Table I-1. The results of pre-release analyses shall be used with the calculational methods in Section I.D to assure that the concentration at the point of release is limited to the values in Specification I.A..1 .a.
Post-release analyses. of samples composited from batch releases shall be performed in accordance with Table 1-1. The results of the post-release analyses shall be used with the calculational methods in Section I.D to assure that the dose commitments from liquids are limited to the values in Specification I.A.2.a.
- 2. Dose (10 CFR 50 Appendix I)
- a. The dose or dose commitment to an individual from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released to unrestricted areas shall be limited:

Table I-l (continued) Page 2 of 3 Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program Table Notation (a) The LLD is 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. 66) (S,)
LLD (Y) (E) (V) (2.22 E+06)
Where: LLD is the lower limit of detection as defined above as uCi 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 disintegration V is the sample size in units of mass or volume E is the counting efficiency Y is the fractional radiochemical yield when applicable 2.22 E+06 is the number of disintegrations per minute per uCi The value of Sb used in the calculation of the LLD for a particular measurement system shall be based on the actual observed variance of the background counting rate or the counting rate of the blank samples, as appropriate, rather than on an unverified theoretically predicted variance. In calculating the LLD for a radion'uclide determined by gamma-ray spectrometry, the background shall include the typical contribution of other radionuclides normally present in the samples.
Typical values of E, V and Y should be used in the calculation.
The background count rate is calculated from the background counts that are determined to be within z one FWHM energy band about the energy of the gamma ray peak used for the quantitative analysis for this radionuclide. The LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit 'epresenting for a particular measurement, the minimum detectable activity (MDA). Decay correction is not incorporated into the LLD, but is into the MDA.
Table I-1 (continued) Page 3 of 3 Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidable small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable.
When circumstances result in LLDs higher than required, the reasons shall be documented in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Report.
(b) A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume.
(c) A composite sample is one is which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen which is representative of the liquids released. Decay corrections are calculated from the midpoint of the sampling period.
(d) The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification will apply are exclusively the following radionuclides:
Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Cs-134, Cs-137 and Ce-141.
This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported. Other nuclides which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses should be reported as less than the LLD and should not be reported as being present at the LLD level. The less than values should not be used in the required dose calculations. When unusual circumstances result in LLDs higher than required, the reasons shall be documented in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
(e) A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a non-discrete volume; e.g. from a volume or system that has an input flow during the continuous release. Decay corrections will be calculated based on all samples collected during the release.
I (f) The frequency notation specified for the performance of sampling and analysis requirements shall correspond to the intervals defined below.

B. Li uid Effluents Release Points There are three normal release points for liquid radioactive effluents from the plant that empty into the discharge canal. These are the Radwaste Treatment Discharge, Retention Tank discharge and the All Volatile Treatment Discharge.
Each of these is a monitored release line that can be isolated before the release reaches the discharge canal There is also a release point for the service water
~
lines used for cooling the heat exchangers that is a monitored release line but is not isolatable. If there is an alarm on the service water monitor, it is necessary to sample each heat exchanger separately to determine which has a leak and then isolate the affected heat exchanger. The pressure of the service water
- system flow would normally force water from the clean service water side into the contaminated side of the heat exchanger. Dilution of liquid effluent is provided by the discharge canal . The discharge canal flow is 1.7 E+05 gpm for each circulating water pump. During operating periods, two circulating water pumps are in operation. During shutdown periods, one circulating water pump is operated. If neither circulating water pump is operable, dilution is provided by operation of one to three service water pumps which provide 7500 gpm each.
C. Li uid Effluents Monitor Set pints Alarm and/or trip setpoints for radiation monitors on each liquid effluent line are required. Precautions, limitations and setpoints applicable to the operation of Cinna Station liquid effluent monitors are provided in plant procedures P-9 and CH-RETS-RMS. Setpoint values are calculated to assure that alarm and trip actions occur prior to exceeding ten times the effluent concentration of
,Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 of 10 CFR 20.1001 - 20.2402 at the release point to the unrestricted area. For added conservatism, liquid effluent release rates are administratively set so that only small fractions of the applicable maximum effluent concentrations can be reached in the discharge canal.
The Calculated alarm and trip action setpoints for each radioactive liquid effluent line monitor and flow determination must satisfy the following equation:
Equation (3.): cf F+f s C Where: C - the effluent concentration which implements ten times 10 CFR 20 limit for unrestricted areas, in uCi/ml.
c - the setpoint of the radioactivity monitor measuring the radioactivity concentration in the discharge line prior to dilution and subsequent release, in uCi/ml.
F - the dilution water-flow as determined prior to the release point, in volume per unit time.
I f - the flow as measured at the discharge point, in volume per unit time, in the same units as F.
Liquid effluent batch releases from Cinna Station are discharged through a liquid waste disposal monitor. The liquid waste stream (f) is diluted by (F) in the plant discharge canal before it enters Lake Ontario.
The limiting batch release concentration (c) corresponding to the liquid waste monitor setpoint is calculated from the above expression. Since the value of (f) is very small in comparison to (F), the expression becomes:
Equation (2): c s-f Where: C - 1/10th the allowable concentration of Cs-137 as given in Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 of 10 CFR 20, 1 E-07. This value is normally more restrictive than the calculated mixed isotopic release concentration.
F - the dilution flow assuming operation of only 1 circulating water pump.
(170,000 gpm).
f - the maximum waste effluent discharge rate through the designated pathway.
The limiting release concentration (c) is then converted to a set-point count rate by the use of the monitor calibration factor determined per procedure CH-RETS-RMS. The expression becomes:
EquaCi on (3): SeCpoinC (cpm)
Cad Factor (uCi/m2/cpm)
~Exam le (Liquid Radwaste Monitor R-i at:
If one assumes, for example, that the maximum pump effluent discharge rate (f) is 30 gpm, then the limiting batch release concentration (c) would be determined as follows:
1 E-07 (UCi/ml) < 170, 000 (gpm) 30 gpm c x 5.7 E-04 (uCi/ml)
The monitor R-18 alarm and trip setpoint (in cpm) is then determined utilizing the monitor calibration factor calculated in plant procedure CH-RETS-RMS. Assuming a calibration factor of (uCi /ml) cpm and a limiting batch release concentration determined above, the alarm and trip setpoint for monitor R-18 would be:
5.7 E-04 (uCi/ml) = 6 0 E+04 c m 9 5 E-09 ( C / )
cpm The setpoint values for the containment Fan Cooler monitor (R-16), Spent Fuel Pit Heat Exchanger Service Water Monitors (R-20A and R-20B), Steam Generator Blowdown Monitor (R-19), 'the Retention Tank Monitor (R-21, and the All volatile Treatment Waste Discharge Monitor (R-22) are calculated in a similar manner using equation (2), substituting appropriate values of (f) and the corresponding calibration factor.

~ Li uid Effluent Release Concentrations Liquid batch releases are controlled individually and each batch release is authorized based upon sample analysis and the existing dilution flow in the discharge canal. Plant procedures CH-RETS-LIQ-RELEASE and CH-RETS-LIQ-COMP establish the methods for sampling and analysis of each batch. prior to release. A release rate limit is calculated for each batch based upon analysis, dilution flow and all procedural conditions being met before it is authorized for release. The waste effluent stream entering the discharge canal is continuously monitored and the release will be automatically terminated if the preselected monitor setpoint is exceeded.
If gross beta analysis is performed for each batch release in lieu of gamma isotopic analysis, then a weekly composite for principal gamma emitters and I-131 is performed. Additional monthly and quarterly composite analyses are performed as specified in Table I-1.
The equations used to calculate activity are:

'Li uid Effluent Dose The dose contribution received by the maximally exposed individual from the ingestion of Lake Ontario fish and drinking water is determined using the following methodology. These calculations will assume a near field dilution factor of 1.0 in evaluating the fish pathway dose, and a dilution factor of 20 between the plant discharge and the Ontario Water District drinking water intake located 1.1 miles away (Figure V-2). The dilution factor of 20 was derived from drift and dispersion studies documented in reference 4.
Dose contributions from shoreline recreation, boating and swimming have been shown to be negligible in the Appendix I dose analysis, reference 5, and do not need to be routinely evaluated. Also, there is no known human consumption of shellfish from Lake Ontario.
The dose contribution to an individual will be determined to ensure that it complies with the specification of l.A.2.a(i) and l.A.2 a(ii). Offsite receptor. doses will be for the limiting age group and organ, unless census data show that actual'etermined individuals are the limiting age group. 'ffsite 10

(i) Sampling and analysis frequency is defined in Table Notation (f) of Table 1-1 18
4 S. Gaseous Effluent Release Points There are three release points continuously monitored for noble gases, containment vent, plant vent and air ejector. The containment vent and plant vent are also continuously monitored for radioiodines and particulates. Since the 9 I air ejector is a steam release point, continuous radioiodine and particulate monitoring is not required when the secondary coolant activity is less than 1 E-04 uCi/gm. Flow rates through the vents are measured periodically. During shutdown, temporary trailers may be brought on site that also require monitoring and characterization of their releases, such as the CO2 decon trailer.
Quarterly plant measurements of one week duration for the particulate and iodine released in the steam by the air ejector demonstrate that sampling this pathway for particulate and iodine is riot necessary since these releases are less than 0.1% of 9 'the
, Plant Vent. The releases are correlated to blowdown activity fordetermining activity in steam releases. During shutdown and startup, special systems are in use that may release small amounts of radioactivity in steam releases. This is accounted for by using operational data and activity in the source of the steam.
Crab samples are obtained when possible.
If an unmonitored release point is discovered, a calculation is performed to determine the potential radioactivity that is released. If the release is continuous, it is included in the monthly report that accounts for releases from the site for calculating doses to the general public.
C. Gaseous Effluent Monitor Set pints Alarm and/or trip setpoints for specified radiation monitors are required on each noble gas effluent line from the plant. Precautions, limitations and setpoints applicable to the operation of Cinna Station gaseous effluent monitors are provided in plant procedures P-9 and CH-RETS-RMS. Setpoints are conservatively established for each ventilation noble gas monitor so that dose rates in unrestricted areas corresponding to 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix I limits will not be exceeded. Setpoints shall be determined so that dose rates from releases of noble gases will comply with Specification II.A.1.a(i).
Rev. 9 10/96 19
The calculated alarm and trip action setpoints for each radioactive gaseous effluent monitor must satisfy the following equation:
Equation (8): c c Where: c - setpoint in cpm Q y release rate limit by specific nuclide (i) in uCi/sec from vent (v) f - discharge flow rate in cfm k - units conversion factor in cdsedcfm K - calibration factor in uCi/cdcpm The general methodology for establishing plant ventilation monitor setpoints is based upon a vent concentration limit in uCi/cc derived from site specific meteorology and vent release characteristics.
Additional radiation monitor alarm and/or trip setpoints are calculated for radiation monitors measuring radioiodines, radioactive materials in particulate form and to radionuclides other than noble gases. Setpoints are determined to assure that dose rates from the release of these effluents shall comply with Specification II.A.1 .a(ii).
The release rate limit for noble gases shall be calculated by the following equation for total body dose:
Equation (9): uCi/sec s 500 mrem/yr g>
(K) mrem/yr per uCi/m') (X/0) sec/m'0
and by the following equation for skin doses:

Lg the skin dose factor due to beta emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide in mrem/yr per uci/m~ from table II-2.
Mi the air dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide in mrad/yr per uCi/m~ from Table II-2. Unit conversion constant of 1.1 mrem/mrad converts air dose to skin dose.
(X/Q) the highest calculated annual average dispersion parameter for estimating the dose to the critical offsite receptor from vent release point (v) in sec/m . The (X/Q) is calculated by the method described in Regulatory Guide 1.111.
Noble gas monitor setpoints are conservatively set according to procedure P-9 to correspond to fractions of the applicable 10 CFR Part 20 dose limits for unrestricted areas. Fractions are small enough to assure the timely detection of any simultaneous discharges from multiple release points before the combined downwind site boundary concentration could exceed allowable limits. Additional conservatism is provided by basing these setpoints upon instantaneous downwind concentrations. Release rates during the remainder of a given year, combined with any infrequent releases at setpoint levels, would result in only a very small fraction of the 10 CFR Part 20 annual limits.
Historically, xenon-133 is the principal noble gas released from all vents and is appropriate for use as the reference isotope for establishing monitor setpoints.
The whole body dose will be limiting, and the Xe-133 release rate limit is calculated by substituting the appropriate values into equation'(9). After the release rate limit for Xe-133 is determined for each vent, the corresponding vent concentration limits are calculated based on applicable vent flow rates.
Annually-derived monitor calibration factors in uCi/cc per cpm are used to convert limiting vent concentrations to count rates.

D. Caseous Effluent Dose Rate Gaseous effluent monitor setpoints as described in Section II.C of this manual are established at concentrations which permit some margin for corrective action to be taken before exceeding offsite dose rates corresponding to 10 CFR Part 20 limitations. Plant procedures CH-RETS-SAMP-CV, CH-RETS-RMS-CV-ALT, CH-RETS-CV-PURGE, CH-RETS-SAMP-PV, CH-RETS-SAMP-PV-ALT, CH-RETS-PV-PURGE, CH-SAMP-AIR-H3 and CH-RETS-MINIPURGE establish the methods for sampling and analysis for continuous ventilation releases and for containment purge releases. Plant procedure CH-RETS-GDT-RELEASE establishes the methods for sampling and analysis prior to gas decay tank releases. The instantaneous dose rate in unrestricted areas due to unplanned releases of airborne radioactive materials may be averaged over a 24-hour period. Dose rates shall be determined using the following expressions:

R-14A may be used as a substitute since automatic isolation is available from the R-12 and R-11 monitors if the activity in Containment increases. Therefore, either R-12 or R-11 is required to sample Containment during a mini-purge release. Automatic isolation of mini-purge for 10 CFR part 20 type releases is considered unnecessary due to the low flow associated with mini-purge, the continuous monitoring from R-12 or R-11 and the original measurements before the purge begins. To ensure the Containment sample monitored by R-11 or R-12 is representative of the containment atmosphere, at least one recirculation fan is required to be in operation during mini-purge operation. Should R-11 and R-12 become inoperable, a 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> limit is chosen to be consistent with the generally accepted time for prompt action.
(f) If the R-10A, R-11, R-12 skid is not operable, it is possible to substitute the R-108, R-13, R-14 skid when the R-14A skid is operable. The setpoints for the R-10A, R-11, R-12 skid would be used. There would be no automatic containment isolation capability using R-108, R-13, R-14 skid for containment leakage measurements.
(g) If containment ventilation isolation instrumentation is required by LCO 3.3.5 for core alteration or movement of irradiated fuel in containment, R-12A skid cannot be used in place of the R-10A, R-11, R-12 skid. Terminate the purge immediately.

- b. Major changes to radioactive waste systems (liquid, gaseous and solid) shall include the following:
(i) Changes in process equipment, components and structures. from those in use (e.g., deletion of evaporators and installation of demineralizers);
(ii) Changes in the design of radwaste treatment systems (liquid, gaseous and solid) that could significantly alter the characteristics and/or quantities of effluents released;

(iii) Changes in system design which may invalidate the accident analysis (e.g., changes in tank capacity that would alter the curies, released).
- c. Changing the filters used, replacement resins or minor modifications (pipe or valve dimensions or manufacturers) due to maintenance activities would not be considered a major change.

B. Li uid and Gaseous Radwaste Treatment and 0 erabilit The objective which implements the overall requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, is to ensure that the plant radwaste treatment equipment is used and maintained. This equipment is to be utilized to reduce radioactive discharges from nuclear plants to levels "as low as reasonably achievable" or ALARA. ALARA levels warranting equipment operability have been defined by the NRC in the form of monthly dose "trigger"values. The trigger values correspond to approximately 1/48 of the annual design objective doses given by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I. If continued at this rate, these monthly doses would correspond to just under 1/4 of the Appendix I annual design objectives.
Liquid Radwaste Gaseous Radwaste Ventilation Exhaust 31-day Trigger Values System System 0.06 mrem (W. Body) 0.2 mrad (gamma air) 0.3 mrem (any organ) 0.2 mrem (any organ) 0.4 mrad (beta air)
Figures IV-1 and IV-2 show the components of the R. E. Cinna liquid and gaseous waste/ventilation exhaust systems. These systems are normally in routine use at the plant. Because discharges are being treated, the trigger values in specification IV.A.1.a, IV.A.2.a and IV.A.2.b may be exceeded but compliance with the stated quarterly and annual dose limits is required.
42 Rev. 9 10/96
4$
If the liquid or gaseous radwaste/ventilation exhaust systems is inoperable in excess of 31 days, then effluents are considered "untreated" waste. Should, over a 31-day period, the plant discharges exceed the dose trigger values in conjunction with extended inoperablility of a waste treatment system, then sections IV.A.1.b and IV.A.2.c apply. In this case, a 30-day report must be submitted to the Commission which iden'tifies the inoperable equipment and describes appropriate corrective actions.
The following method would be used to determine the need for a 30-day report For a liquid release. A gaseous release would follow the same procedure.
r
- 1. Using existing plant procedures, sample the concentration contained in the tank to be released (C~j ) Decide a sample frequency (e.g. 1/day) since the tank concentration could change.
- 2. Determine the permissible release rate to maintain the concentration in the discharge canal well within 10 times the applicable effluent release concentration of 10 CFR Part 20, Table 2 Column 2. For gaseous releases, use the site boundary and Table 2, Column 1.'.
Calculate the incremental dose from all identified isotopes via the drinking water and fish ingestion pathways for the child. Assume the release will be continuous and that doses will be evaluated each day, corresponding to the waste tank sampling frequency selected. We thus compute D~ using Equations 6 and 7, taking ht; as the duration of each release, in this case, 24 hr/day. For gaseous releases use direct radiation from the plume and inhalation pathways.
- 4. The offsite receptor dose due to a controlled discharge of the waste tank contents is thus determined and cumulated over each daily release time interval. If the isotopic mixture and the discharge canal dilution factor,I F,I j
are relatively constant, then each day's dose increment should be approximately the same. One can. then estimate the number of release days it will take to'reach the applicable dose trigger value.
- 5. The 30-day reporting requirement applies if a radwaste treatment system is inoperable and dose trigger values are exceeded within 31 days. If the liquid pathway dose does not exceed the trigger values in 31 days or less, then a 30-day report is not required.
- 6. It would be prudent to avoid a situation requiring the 30-day report using other treatment options available at the plant. A trigger level dose, when added to the calculated doses resulting from all other liquid release sources, may significantly impact upon the plant's "dose budget" for the calendar quarter or the calendar year.

V. RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTALMONITORING A. S ecification
- 1. Monitorin Pro ram
- a. The radiological environmental monitoring program shall be conducted as specified in Table V-1 at the locations given in Figures V-l, V-2, V-3 and V-4.
- b. If the radiological environmental monitoring program is not conducted as specified in Table V-1, prepare and submit to the Commission, in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report, a description of the reasons for not conducting the program as required and the plans for preventing a recurrence. Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal availability, or to malfunction of automatic sampling equipment. If the latter, efforts shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period. Sampling periods for this specification are usually of one week duration. If continuous sampling equipment is out of service, the 120 minute aliquot sampling period does not mean that grab samples must be taken every 120 minutes, but one grab sample once each week is sufficient until the automatic sampling equipment'is restored to service.
- c. If the level of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium at one or more of the locations specified exceeds the reporting levels of Table V-4 when averaged over any calendar quarter, a Special Report shall be submitted to the Commission within thirty days which includes an evaluation of any release conditions, environmental factors or other aspects which caused the reporting levels of Table V-4 to be exceeded.
When more than one of the radionuclides in Table V-4 are detected in the sampling medium, this report shall be submitted if:
concentration (1) concentration (2) ~~~> >
limit level (1) limit level (2) 0 46
1 I
When radionuclides other than those in Table V-4 are detected and are the result of plant effluents, this report shall be submitted if the potential annual dose to an individual is greater than the calendar year limit of Specifications I.A.2.a or II.A.3.b. This report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity was not the result of plant effluents; however, in such an event, the condition shall be reported and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
- d. If milk or fresh leafy vegetable samples are unavailable for more than one sample period from one or m're of the sampling locations indicated on Figure V-2, a discussion shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report which identifies the cause for the unavailability of samples and identifies locations for obtaining replacement samples. If a milk or leafy vegetable sample location becomes unavailable, the location from which samples were unavailable may then be deleted provided that a comparable location is added to the environmental monitoring program.
- 2. Land Use Census
- a. A land use census shall be conducted annually, between June 1 and October 1, and shall identify the location of the nearest milk animal, the nearest garden exceeding 500 square feet and the nearest residence within a distance of five miles in each of the 16 meteorological sectors.
The Land Use Census shall identify changes in the use of the land, particularly the addition of new facilities, i.e. large buidlings, factories, private airports or landing fields, shopping center changes, etc., that may change population densities near the R.E. Cinna Plant.
- b. In lieu of a garden census, an onsite garden located either in the meteorological sector having the highest historical D/Q or in another location with a higher D/Q than the location of the maximally exposed individual may be used for broad leaf vegetation sampling.
C. If a land use census identifies a location(s) which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than that to the maximally exposed individual currently being calculated, the new identified location(s) shall be reported in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
47
l I Cl
d; If a land use census identifies a milk location(s) which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than that at a location from which samples are currently being obtained, the new identified location(s) shall be reported in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. The new location shall be added to the radiological environmental monitoring program within thirty days, if possible. The milk location having the lowest calculated dose or dose commitment may be'deleted from this monitoring program after October 31 of the year in which this land use census was conducted.
- 3. Interlaborato Com arison Pro ram
- a. Analyses shall be performed on applicable radioactive environmental samples supplied as part of an interlaboratory comparison program which has been approved by the NRC, if such a program exists.
- b. If analyses are not performed as required above, report the corrective actions taken to prevent a recurrence in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
- c. A summary of the results obtained from the interlaboratory comparison program shall be included in the Annual Radiological Operating Report.

Vl. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS A. ~5 ecification The following reports will be prepared and submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 and a copy to the Regional Administrator of the USNRC, Region I.
Annual Radiolo ical Environmental 0 eratin Re ort An Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report covering the operation of the unit during the previous calendar year shall be submitted prior to May 15 of each year. The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report shall include summaries, interpretations, and analysis of trends of the results of the radiological environmental surveillance activities for the report period, including a comparison with background (control) samples and previous environmental surveillance reports and an assessment of the observed impacts of the plant operation on the environment. The report shall also include the results of'the Land Use Census as required.
This report shall include any new location(s) identified by the Land Use Census which yield a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than those forming the basis of Specification II.A or IV.A. The report shall also contain a discussion which identifies the causes of the unavailability of milk or leafy vegetable samples and identifies locations for obtaining replacement samples in accordance with Specification V.A.l.d.
The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report shall include summarized and tabulated results in the format of table VI-1 of all radiological environmental samples taken during the report period. In the event that some results are not available for inclusion with the report, the report shall be submitted noting and explaining the reasons for the missing results. The missing data shall be submitted as soon as possible in a supplementary report. In addition, the annual report shall include a discussion which identifies the circumstances which prevent any required detection limits for environmental sample analyses from being met, and a discussion of all deviations from the sample schedule of Table V-1. The report shall also include the following:
a summary description of the radiological environmental monitoring program including a map of all sampling locations keyed to a table giving distances and directions from the reactor; and the results of the participation in an interlaboratory comparison program.

- 2. Radioactive Effluent Release Re ort The Radioactive Effluent Release Report covering the operation of the unit during the previous twelve months of operation shall be submitted prior to May 15 each year. This report shall include a summary, on a quarterly basis, of the quantities of radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents and solid waste released as outlined in Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 1.
The Radioactive Effluent Release Report shall include an assessment of radiation doses from the radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents released from the unit during each of the previous four calendar quarters as outlined in Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 1. In addition, the site boundary maximum noble gas gamma air and beta air doses shall be evaluated. The assessment of radiation doses shall be performed in accordance with Specification I.A.2 and II.A.4. This same report shall include an annual summary of hourly meteorological data collected over the previous calendar year. Alternatively, the licensee has the option of retaining th'is summary on site in a file that shall be provided to the NRC upon request. The Radioactive Effluent Release Report shall include a discussion which identifies the circumstances which prevented any required detection limits for effluent sample analyses being met.
This report shall include any changes made during the reporting period to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). Licensee may make changes to, this ODCM and shall submit to the Commission, with the Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which any change(s) is made, a copy of the new ODCM and a summary containing:
- a. sufficiently detailed information to support the rationale for the change;
\
- b. a determination that the change will not reduce the accuracy or reliability of dose calculations or setpoint determinations; and
- c. documentation of the fact that the change has been reviewed and found acceptable by the onsite review function.
Licensee initiated changes shall become effective after review and acceptance by the onsite review function. on a date specified by the licensee.
This report shall include any changes made during the reporting period to the Process Control Program (PCP). This report shall include a discussion of any major changes to the radioactive waste treatment systems.

- 3. Pre aration of S ecial Re ort to Demonstrate Com liance with Environmental Radiation Protection Standards Thirty day reports are required to be prepared and sent to the Commission when certain conditions exist as defined in the following sections of this ODCM:
~ I.A.2.a, Liquid effluents exceeding twenty times the concentration specified in Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 to 10CFR20 at the receiving waters .
~ I.A.2.b, Liquid effluents exceeding the Specification for dose, 10 CFR 50 Appendix I;
~ I.A.3.a, Liquid effluents exceeding the Specification for dose, 10 CFR Part 190;
~ II.A.1.a, Gaseous effluents exceeding twenty times the concentrations specified in Appendix 8, Table 2, Column 1 to 10CFR20 in an unrestricted area N II.A.4.c. Gaseous effluents exceeding the Specification for dose, 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix I;
~ II.A.5.a. Gaseous effluents exceeding the Specification for dose, 10 CFR Part 190;
~ IV.A.1.b, Inoperability of liquid waste treatment equipment resulting in doses in excess of 10CFR50 Appendix I IV.A.2.c, Inoperability of gaseous waste treatment equipment resulting in doses in excess of 10CFR50 Appendix I V.A.l.c, Level of radioactivity in environmental sampling medium at one or more locations exceeds the reporting level Table III-2, Inoperability of accident radiation monitoring instrumentation'reater than 7 days 67
Cuidance is given for each of these reports in the applicable location. The following general guidelines are presented for calculating dose to an exposed individual or the general population for preparation of Special Reports:
- a. The maximally exposed real member of the public will generally be the
. same individual considered in the ODCM.
- b. Dose contributions to the maximally exposed individual need only be considered to be those resulting from the Cinna plant itself. All other uranium fuel cycle facilities or operations are of sufficient distance to contribute a negligible portion of the individual's dose.
- c. For determining the total dose to the maximally exposed individual from the major gaseous and liquid effluent pathways and from direct radiation, dose evaluation techniques used in preparing the Special Report may be those described in this manual or other applicable methods where appropriate.
- d. The contribution from direct radiation may be estimated by effluent dispersion modelling or calculated from the results of the environmental monitoring program for direct radiation.
