Dear Mr. Eisenhut:
Re:
Turkey Point Units 3
8 4
Docket Nos. 50-250, 50-251 Radiological Effluent Technical S ecifications Your Messrs.
C; Willis and C. Miller met with our staff on August 29, 1983 to review our submittal of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications.
Following the meeting we committed to provide:
1)
The pages of our previous submittal containing the agreed upon changes; 2)
The bases for our Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, in comparison with the program guidance provided in NUREG 0472.
A preliminary table from the ODCM showing our selected sample locations is also attached to assist you in evaluating the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program.
'lease find items 1) and 2) attached.
The Technical Specification pages are provided as agreed upon with a few very minor exceptions (i.e.,
replacement of "SPING-4" with generic descri ption, removal of charcoal adsorber from definitions since Turkey does not use
- same, and changing "Containment Purge" to PURGING and VENTING, for format consistency.)
Very truly yours, Robert E. Uhrig Vice President Advanced Systems 8 Technology REU/JEM/js Attachments cc:

TURKEY POINT UNIT NOS.
3 5 4 RAD IOLOG ICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING SAMPLE SELECTIONS (TABLE 4.12-1)
The objective of the proposed Turkey Point Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is to provide measurenents of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionucl ides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of members of the public resulting from the station operation and to supplement 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 the modeling of the environnental exposure pathways.
On July 11,
- 1983, FPL submitted a proposed amendment to the Turkey Point Unit Nos.
3 5 4 Technical Specifications (L83-402) which includes a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program that meets this objective and was prepared using guidance issued by NRC.
Radiological environmental monitoring for the Turkey Point Plant is conducted by the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, Environmental Radiation Control Laboratory.
The monitoring program has been essentially unchanged since September, 1973.
Since that time numerous environmental monitoring samples have been collected and analyzed.
To date, there has been no indication that operation of the Turkey Point facility is contributing.
significantly to the dose to any member of the public.
In consideration of this significant data base and the NRC sample selection criteria, FPL has determined that some of the samples currently required by Turkey Point Techni cal Speci fi ca tions a re no 1 onger necessa ry.
The basis for FPL's proposed enviroanental monitoring program is as follows:
Direct Radiation Turkey Point 3
8 4 Technical Specifications require direct radiation measurements (TLD) at 9 locations with a collection frequency of monthly.
The proposed monitoring program increases the number of surveil lance locations to 21.
Sample collection frequency is quarterly; however, these TLO's may be retrieved and analyzed at any time if there is a need.
The proposed locations correspond to the "Ring" TLD's which have been deployed around the Turkey Point Plant by Florida 'Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services.
Locations are specified in the Turkey Point ODCM.
NUREG 0472 specifies about 40 locations to be monitored.
Since NUREG U472 is a generic document, it applies to inland plants as well as coastal plants.
FPL's Turkey Point Plant is situa'ted along the shore of Biscayne Bay.
The only land areas east (5 - 8 miles) of the facility are a series of offshore
- islands, the largest of which is Elliott Key.
These islands are undeveloped.
It is estimated there may be approximately 60 part time residents on the islands (FSAR 2.1).
It is also to be noted that these islands are located in sectors of least prevalent wind direction (FSAR 2.6).
l iI
FPL has concluded that the 21 Direct Radiation Monitoring locations which we have proposed meet the intent of NUREG 0472.
Airborne The proposed monitoring locations (5) were selected based upon the criteria contained in NUREG 0472.
Since there are existing stations at Turkey Point, the proposed locations were selected from existing sample locations that most closely matched the criteria.
The locations selected were:
l.
3 samples fran close to 3 site boundary locations (in different sectors) of the highest calculated annual average ground-level 0/g.
a.
Homestead Bayfront Park (T51) -
NNW b.
Entrance Road (T58)
-NW c.
Boy Scout Camp (T72) -
WSW 2.
1 sample from the vicinity of a community having the highest cal culated annual average ground-level 0/g.
a.
The community is the Homestead Air Force Base (T57) -
NW 3.
1 sample from a control location 15 - 30 km distance and in the least prevalent wind direction.
a.
The least prevalent wind direction is over the water.
The existing control location in tliami (T64) vas chosen as suitable for the control location.
Each of the above sample locations will be continuously sampled for particulates and iodines.
The locations for the above samples are specified in the Turkey Point ODCN.
In addition to particulate and iodine monitoring, the current Technical Specifications specify sampling of precipitation.
Based upon the significant data base associated with sampling precipitation at Turkey Point, FPL could find no reason to continue such surveillance.
FPL has concluded that the proposed airborne monitoring program meets the intent of NUREG Q472.
Wa terborne Circulating water and intake cooling water for the Turkey Point facility ccme frcm an on-site closed cooling canal system which ccmpletely surrounds the facility (FSAR 2.1).
Liquid effluents are directed to the closed system.
The closed cooling canal is highly saline and is, therefore, unfit as a direct source for-irrigation or consumption.
It is also not used for recreation.
Under normal conditions the hydraulic gradient causes groundwater to move slowly towards the east (FSAR 2.10).
The nearest wells containing water sufficiently fresh for irrigation purposes are about 3 1/2 miles from the
4l
site.
Near ccmmunity drinking waters are obtained from well fields in the vicinity of Nomestead, approximately 10 miles away.
The proposed sample locations for the Turkey Point waterborne samples are east (T42) and southeast (T81) of the closed cooling system, at locations beyond the site boundary in the direction of the nodal hydraulic gradient.
The control location (T67) is sufficiently beyond any influence from the plant.
These locations are specified in the Turkey Point Plant ODCH.
The current Turkey Point 3
8 4 specifications require veterborne samples that are not consistent wi th the bases of NUREG 0472 in accordance with the following criteria:
1.
Salt water not used for recreation.
2.
Not tapped for drinking or irrigation.
3.
Hot subject to contamination frcm plant effluents.
In consideration of the above and the significant data base available from the exi sting sample
- program, FPL sees no reason to continue Technical Specification surveillance on samples which NUREG 0472 excludes.
- believes, therefore, that the proposed waterborne samples meet the intent of NUREG 0472.
Ingestion Fi sh and Invertebrates As previously stated, all liquid effluents are directed into the closed cooling canal.
Commercial and/or recreational fishing is prohibited in the closed cooling system.
The proposed sample locations (TUl and T67) are consistent with the gradient considerations used,to select the waterborne sample point.
In consideration of the no direct release pathway and historical sampling experience, no specificty has been applied to the crustacea or fish sampling requirenent.
For crustacea this is consistent with the current sampling requirements which specify
- lobster, crab and/or shrimp.
Generally the'ample type which is predominant at ttte specified locations is the blue crab.
For fish, the samples that will be collected are representative of the types which wil I be caught recreationally.
Locations for fish and crustacea samples are specified in. the Turkey Point Plant ODCtl.
Broad-Leaf Ve etation The proposed sample schedule implements sampling of broad-leaf vegetation grown nearest each of two different off-site locations of highest predicted annual average ground-level D/g.
NUREG 0472 specifies that 3
different kinds of broad-leaf vegetation be sampled.
The topography of the Turkey Point Plant is unique, however, in that the site cooprises mangrove swamps fran along the shoreline, extending inland 3 or 4 miles.
Open fields extend westward frcm the edge of the swamp (FSAR 2.4).
There are not very many species of broad-leaf vegetation which thrive in the Turkey Poi'nt environoent.
At the locations chosen to
)l~
il
~
meet the criteria for U/g (T40 and T41), it vas judged that only one broad-leaf sample type would be consistently available.
The sample type is the Brazilian Pepper leaf.
No specificity vas placed on the selected
- samples, however, in order not to precl'ude other types of vegetation
(~e...
mangrove) if it is -found selectively availabl'e.
The control location (T67) ves selected based upon availability of similar broad-leaf type.
Sample locations are specified in the Turkey Point Plant UUCH.
The proposed sample locations do not include samples for milk or food products (other than broad-leaf vegetation).
No milk sampling is required based'pon the last milk animal survey which indicated there are no milk animals within 5 mil es of the Turkey Point Plant.
Should milk animals be found within 5 miles during a land use census, this sample would have to be added to the program pursuant to Speci fica tion 4.12. 2.
No food product sampling is specified, since water used for irrigation purposes is not influenced by plant discharges.
In consideration of the above, and the significant data base available from the existing sample
- program, FPL sees no reason to continue Technical'pecification surveil lance on samples not specified by NUREG 0472.
FPL has determined that the proposed ingestion monitoring samples meet the intent of NUREG 0472.
