3. 11. l. 1 The concentration of radioactive material discharged from secondary system liquid waste to the onsite evaporation ponds shall be limited to the lower limit of detectability (LLD) defined as 5 x 10-~ pCi/ml for the prin-cipal gamma emitters or 1 x 10-pCi/ml for I-131.~

APPLICABILITY:

MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.

ACTION:

Mhen any secondary system'iquid waste discharge pathway concentration determined in accordance with the surveillance requirements given below exceeds the specified LLD, divert that discharge pathway to the liquid radwaste system withOut de]ay or process the liquid wastes to meet the specified limits prior to release to the onsite evaporation ponds.

SURVEILLANCE RE UIREMENTS

4. 11. 1. 1. 1 Radioactive liquid wastes collected in the chemical waste neutralizer tank shall be sampled and analyzed prior to their batchwise discharge to the onsite evaporation pond in accordance with the sampling and analysis program specified in Table 4.11-1.

4.11. 1.1.2 With the concentration of radioactive material in the chemical waste neutralizer tank exceeding the specified LLD, sample and analyze other secondary system discharge pathways in accordance with the sampling and analysis-program specified in Table 4.11-1.

" For one time only, effective March 24,

1987, releases of principal gamma emitters with half lives less than 75 days may be allowed to exceed 5 x 10-~

pCi/ml but be limited to 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Col.

2 concentra-tions for a period not to exceed 60 days.
