- control, as applicable, the release of radioactive materials in:gaseous effluents during actual gr potential releases.
The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance
~"ith NRC-approved methods in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip vill occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.
The operability and use of this instrumentation is consistent vith tne reauirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 C:"R Part 50.
B4.'12 BASES FOR RADIOLOGICAL EHVIROtiYiEhTAL HONITORIHG

'he radiologic~1 environmental monitoring prooram required oy t ni s speci fi cat i on prov i des measurements of radi ati on ana of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which.lead to tne hignest potential radiation exposur'es of
'individuals resulting iron the station operation.
This monitoring program thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program, by verifyino thai the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radi ati on are not higher than expected on the basis of effluent measurements and modeling of the envi ronaental exposure pathways.
Prooram changes may be initiated based',on operational experience.
The detection capabilities required by Table 4.12-2 are state-of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories.
The LLD's for drinking water meet the requirements of 40 CFR 142.
The land use census'nd semii-annual milch nerd survey are provided:o'nsure
.that changes in the use of unrestri cted areas are identified and that modifications to, the monitoring prooram are miade if r equi red by the res ul ts o7 tnese
'urveys.
The land use census satisi ies tne reouirements o,
Section I).B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.
Res~ric-ing the census to gardens oi greater than 500 square feet provides assurance that sionificant exposure pathways via lee>y vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garoen o
this size is the minimum. required to proouce the quan-.i.y (26 kg/yr) of leafy vegetables assumed in Pegul atory Guide i.iug for consumption by a child.
To de,:ermirie this minimum oarden
- size, the i ol lowino assumpti ons were used.
1)
Tha 2U'i ihe garden was used for growing broad leai vegetationi (i.e.,
similar to lettuce and cabbaoe),
and 2) a vegetalion yield oi 2 kg/square meter.
The reouirement for participation in an Interla>oratory Comparison program is provided to ensure that incependent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radi oacti ve materi al in envi r'onmental sampl e matr i ces are perforined as part of a
qual i'ty assurance, program for environmental monitorino.'in order to demonstrate
-hat the results are reasonably valid.
