- l. 0 Introduction This Manual describes acceptable methods of calculating radioactivity c'oncentrations in the environment and the potentially resultant, doses+ 1 of+site~ that are associated with liquid and gaseous effluents from the Turkey Point.'Nuclear Plant. The radioactivity concentrations and dose estimates are used to demonstrate compliance'with Technical Specifications required by 10 CFR 50.36. The methodology stated in this Manual is acceptable for use in demonstrating operational compliance with 10 CFR 20.106, CFR 50 Appendix I,'nd 40 CFR 190. Only the dose attributable to the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, is considered in demonstrating compliance with 40 CFR 190 since no other nuclear facility exists within 50 miles of the Plant.
Monthly caizculations are made to guide the management of station effluents and.to veri y that potential radioactivity "concentrations and doses offsite satisfy the Technical Specifications. The receptor is described such that the exposure of any resident near the plant is unlikely to be underestimated. Even more conservative conditions (e.g. location and/or exposure pathways expected to yield higher computed doses) than appropriate for the maximally exposed person may be assumed . when calculating the concentration or dose. Monthly calculations made to assure that a'ir dose and dose commitment specifications are'ot exceeded are based on atmospheric dispersion and k deposition of gaseous effluents derived from reference meteorological conditions.*+>> Calculations made to assess the radioactive noble gas dose to air are based on the location offsite that could be occupied by a person where the maximum air dose is expected. Dose is commonly used to mean personal dose equivalent commitment. Offsite means outside the exclusion area. Reference meteorological conditions are annual aver ged conditions during years 1976 and 1977.

For these. calculations the receptor is selected on the basis of the combination of app pathways identified in the land use census and the maximum
'cable'xposure ground leve1 X/Q at a residence, or on the basis of more conservative 'conditions such that the dose to any resident near the. Plant is~unlikely be underestimated. 'to ~ 2.0 Liquid Effluent

in Technical Specification Table 3.9-1. Based on an evaluation of the radionuclde distribution typical in liquid radioactive effluents, the calculated doses to individuals have been determined to be dominated by the radionuclides, Co-58, Co-60, Nb-95, Ag-110m', Cs-134, and Cs-137. These 6 nuclides typically contribute 907. ox more of the adult's total body dose and the adult's GI-LLT. dose, which is the critical organ and critical age group'.'herefore, the dose commitment due to radioactivity in liquid effluents may be reasonably evaluated by limiting the dose calculational process to these radionuclides for the total body end the GX-LLI.,'quationi (10) can be simplified in. the following ways. pathway ) and the ef~ective decay constan t

Monthly dose calculations required by Specifications 3.9.2.b.l and c., I 3.9.2.~ mey be done with either equations 10 and 11 or equation'2.

This requirement is satisfied by calculating the total body and organ dose commitments to a hypothetical adult exposed by eating fish and shellfish taken from the cooling canals. Section 2.4 includes the method for doing this calculation.. Appendix P pxesents the technical bases for using this projection to determine liquid radwaste equipment operation. The dose from liquid offluents is ~ro'ected by eztrspols ing the dose commitr,".ent to date during the current quaxter to include the entire quarter.

When a radionuclide concentration is below the LLD for the analysis, it is not reported as being present in the sample.'oble Gases. T'ne distribution of radioactive noble gases in a, gaseous effluent stream is determined by gamma spectrum analysis of identifiable radionuclides in effluent gas sample(s) Results of one.

": the infant thyroid zs the receptor. Then for conservatism the total cumulative release of all radioiodines and particulates can be applied to the effective factor and a conservative estimate of the infant 'I t 'hyroid dose determined.
The requirement> in Specification 3.9.2.~ to determine montnly whether cumulative releases have caused a total body or organ dose C. commitment in excess of limits in Specification 3.9.2. may be met by using the .following. equation'. DMk= 3.17 x 10 . D . TG (2Z) 0.8 Q

When equation 24 is'sed to'stimate the criti'cal organ ( infant' thyroid) dose commitment, the effective dose transfer factor used in the equation is ( TG = 6.5 x 10 ll mrem/v-131 2 NCi/(m . sec) The reference data from which TG was derived are summarized in Tail'e D-2 131 of Appendix D. Alternately, the monthly determ'nation, required by Specification C. I 3.9.2.~ may be made by using equations 23, 24, 25 and 26,. Quarterly calculations of dose commitments due to radioiodine and radioactive particulates in effluent air for inclusion in the Annual Radiological Environmental Honitoring Report are performed using equations 23 through 26, following.

APPENDIX B Nuclide Dilution in the Coolin Canals The effective concentration of each nuclide in the cooling cane.ls is a function of the discharge flow and concentration, the nuc'ide decay constant, and the various diluting flows in and out of the canal Reference.l was a study of the hydraulics of the Turkey Point. cooling . canals it revealed that ground water interchange is the most significant means by which net removal of chemical constituents from the canals occurs. One result of the study documented in Reference 1 is a mathematical model of the water and chemical balance in the canals. That model is used here to derive an expression for the nuclide concentrations to which fish and shellfish in the canal are exposed. This expression can then be used to develop the expression in Section 2.4 for calculating accumulated dose due to ingestion of fish and shellfish. 'ersonal Assuming that sampling of nuclide i in the canal by seafood (and, in turn, the ultimate receptors) occurs randomly in space and time, the canal can be treated as a homogeneous mixture. This is certainly true for nuclides with effective lives greater than several days, since the canal average 'transit time is on the order of two days. For shorter-lived nuclides, this 'assumption is conservative. (See also Figure 12. of Reference 2.) A mass balance on the canal yields: V dC. i {t)/dt = i i (t)

For batch discharges this expression is conservative, part,icula=ly when the duration of the discharge is small with respect to the period between e discharges and the effective decay period, I/X.. Pigure 27 of Reference 1 show's the relat'ionship o'f canal water level (Canal 32 - Line 3) to volume. Figure 9 of Re erence 1 shows . canal levels during July - December 1978.

N ~ ~ \ ~ APPENDIX C Limited Analysis Dose Assessment for Liquid Radioactive Effluents The radioactive liquid effluents for the years 1978, 1979, and 1980 were evaluated to determine the dose contribution of tne radionuclide distribution. This analysis was performed to evaluate the use of a limited dose analysis for determining environmental doses. Limiting
-the dose calculation to a few selected radionuclides that contribute the majority of the dose provides a simplified method of determining compliance with the dose limits of Tecnnica) Specification 3.9.1.b.2'.- 'Tables C-l and C-2 present the results of this evaluation.
Table C-1 presents the fraction of tne adult total body dose contributed
'y the major radionuclides. Table C-2 presents the sar e data for the adult GI-LLI dose. The adult total body and adult GI-LLI were determined to be the limiting doses based'n an evaluation of all age groups (adult> teenager'> child, and infant) and all organs:(bore,,
liver> kidney> lung> and GI-LLI). As the data in the tables show, the radionuclides Co-58, Co-60'> Cs-134> and Cs-137 dominate the total body dose; the radionuclides', Co-58, Co-60> Hb-95> and Ag-110m dominate the GI-LLI dose. In all but one case (1978 shellfish, GI-LLI-dose) these radionuclides contribute 907.'r more of the total dose. If for 1978 the fish and shellfish pathways are combined as is done to determine the total dose, the contribution from these nuclides is 897. of the total GI-LLI dose.
~
Therefore> the dose commitment due to radioactive material in ..; . liquid effluents can be reasonably estimated by limiting the dose calculation to the radionuclides, Co-58, Co-60> .Hb-95> Ag-llOm> Cs-134> and Cs-137, which cumulatively contribute about 90/ or greater of the total dose calculated by using all radionuclides detected. Th's lim'ted analysis dose assessment method is a simplified calculat'on that p"ovides z reasonable evaluation of doses due to liquid radioactive ef'=luents.
~ 0 ~ g J Tritium is not. included in the limited analysis dose assessment for liquid releases because the potential dose resulting from norma 1 reactor releases is negligible: and is essentially independent of radwaste 'system oper'ation. 'he maximum amount of tritium released annually is about 1000 curies. At Turkey Point> 1000:Ci/yz releases to the cooling canals produces a calculated whole body dose of 0.002 mrem/yr via 'the fish and shellfish pathways. This amounts to less than 0.17. of the design objective dose of 3 mrem/yr. Furthermore> the release of tritium is a function of operating time and power level and is essentially unrelated to radwaste'system operation.

APPENDlX D Technical Bases for A e ff Overview The evaluation of doses due to releases of radioactive material to the atmosphere can be simplified by the use of effective dose transfe factors instead of using dose factors which are radionuclide speci~ac. TheNe effective factors, which are based on the typical radionuclide distribu'tion in the releases, can be applied to the total radioactivity released to approximate the dose in the environment, ie, instead of having to sum the isotopic distribution multiplied. by the isotope specific dose factor only a single multiplication (A ~ times'he total quantity of radioactive material released) would be needed. This aoproach provides a reasonable estimate of the actual dose while eliminating the need for a detailed calculational technique. Determination of A ei~f The effective dose transfer factor is based on'ast operating"data. The radioactive effluent distribution for the past years can be used to derive a single effective factor by the following equation.
~ A..
W i f.i A = eff where A ff eff
= the effective dose transfer factor A,=the dose transfer factor for radionuclide i f.i = the fractional abundance of radionuclide i in the radioactive effluents T Th's equation yields a single dose factor, weighted by the typica1 radionuclide distribution.
1 ~ I g~ ~
\
To determine the appropriate effective factor to be used and to evaluat~ the degree of vari'ability, the atmospheric radioactiv'e ez )uents zor z h pastt 3 yearss have the a e been evaluated. An effective dose transfer factor has been determined for the gaseous effluents for all pathways of interest. Tables D-1 and D-2 present the results of this evaluation For the radioiodines,and particulates with half-lives greate- than 8 days, the effective dose transfer factor is based solely on the radioiodines (X-131, 133, and 135). This approach was selected because the radioiodines contribute essentially all of the dose to the infant's thyroid yia the cow-milk pathway. The infant's thyroid and the cow-milk pathway are the critical organ and controlling pathway, respectively, for the releases of radioiodine and particulates. All other particulates contribute less than 1/ of the dose. The effective dose transfer factor is determined by applying equation D-1 to the radioiodines. However,'indetermining the dose, this effective dose transfer factor should be applied to the total release of all radioiodines and to particulates with half lives greater then 8 days.,This uniform application is conservative in providing reasonable assurance that the actual dose will not be unde-.estimated by the use of this simplified method. Th dete~mination of Aeff was limited to t'ne past three years
~
(1978 1979 an and 1980) because, of the changes tha" have occurred in the waste processing system. A demineralizer system replaced the previously
'used e'vaporator in the liquid waste processing system.
As dan be seen from Tables D-1 and D-2> the efzective dose transfer' factor varies 1 ittl e fr o m y year to year. Th'e maximum observed va iabilxty zrom the average value is 13K for the noble gases and 2S7. for the radioiodines. This variability is minor considering other areas of r uncertainty an d consservatism inherent in the environmental dose calculational models.
i To provide an additional degree of conservatism> a factor of 0.8 is i'ntroduced into the dose calculational process when the effe'ctive dose transfer factor is used. This added conservatism provides additional assurance that the evaluation of doses by the use of a single effective factor will not significantly underestimate any actual doses in the
~
environment. Reevaluation The. doses due to the gaseous effluents are evaluated by the more detailed calculational methods (ie, use of nuclide specific dose factors) on a yearly bases. At this time a comparison can be made between the simplified method and the detailed method to assure the overall reasonableness of this limited analysis approach. - If this comparison
'I t
indicates that the radionuclide distribution has changed significantly c'ausing the simplified method to underestimate tne doses by more than 207.> the value of A ff will need to be reexamined to assure the overall eff
. 'acceptability of this approach. However> this reexamination will only be needed if the doses as calculated by the detailed analysis. exceed 50K of the design bases doses (ie, greeter than 5 mrads gamma air dose, 10 mrads beta air dose, or. 7.5 mrem infant thyroid dose).
In any case> the appropriateness of the Aeff value will be periodically evaluated to assume the applicability of a single effective dose factor for ev'aluating environmental doses.

APPEHDEX F Bases of Technical Specification 3.9.l..d.l Limits I Technical Specification 3.9.1.d.l conditions for treating radio-active liquid waste are stated on a quarterly bas's as one-fourth of the design objective (annual) limits on individual dose commitment. At the Turke'y Point Plant> the individual dose limits require lower releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents than would cost-benefit cri.teria for treatment. This occurs because the closed cooling canal system yields a'ow population dose. Consequently> a liquid radwaste system operability requirement can be based on Appendix '1 design basis limits without any further reduction for treatment cost-benef icial ity. I ODCM sections 2.4 and 2.5 present the dose projection method used to decide operability. Since 90 percent or-more of the dose is normally caused by' limited number of radionucl'des, dose projections can be adequately based upon those radionuclides. Appendix C explains the basis for this position.
