~D-c)_ss January 18, 1979 ALL POWER REACTOR LICENSEES Gentlemen:
By letter dated November 15, 1978, you were requested to submit Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications and provide for NRC approval.vour Offsite Dose Calculation Manual '(ODCM).
During the recent seminars held at the NRC Regional Offices, we received numerous requests for additional guidance on the content for the ODCMso The attachment to this letter provides guidance on the general contents of the ODCM to aid you in its preparation.
Enclosure:
General Contents of the ODCM
'190312 053 5 Sincerely, a£:~
Brian Ko Grimes, Assistant Director
- for Engineering and Projects Division of Operating Reactors
e GENERAL CONTENTS OF THE ODCM*
Section 1 -¥Set Points Provide the equations and methodology to be used at the station or unit for each alarm and trip set point on each effluent release point accordin0 to the Specifications 3.3.3.8 and 3.3.3.9. Provide the alarm and control location, the monitor description, location, power source, seal e, range and identification number, and the effluent isolation control device, its location, power source and identification number.
If the set point value is variable, provide the equation to be used to predetermine the set point value that will assure that the Specification is met at each release point, and the value to be used when releases are not in progress.
If dilution or dispersion is used, describe the on-site equipment and measurement method used during release, the site related parameters and the set points used to assure that the Specification is met at each release point, in-cluding any administrative controls applicable at the station or unit.
The fixed and predetermined set points should consider the radioactive effluent to have a radionuclide distribution represented by nonnal and anticipated operational occurrences.
Other features, such as surveillance requirements and the calibration method, should be addressed.
Section 2 - Liquid Effluent Concentration Provide the equations and methodology to be used at the station or unit for each liquid release point according to the Specification 3.11.1.1. For continuous and/or batch releases, the assumptions used for manual and auto-matic tennination of releases should be provided.
For batch releases, the calculational methods, equations and assumptions used, together with the pre-release and post-release analyses should be provided.
Other features, such as surveillance requirements, sampling and analysis program, detection limitations and representative sampling should be addressed.
Section 3 - Gaseous Effluent Dose Rate Provide the equations and methodology to be used at the station or unit for each gaseous release point accordin9 to Specification 3.11.2.1.
Consider the various pathways, release point elevations, site related parameters and radionuclide contribution' to the dose impact limitation.
Provide the equa-tions and assumptions used, stipulating the pat~way, receptor location and receptor age.
Provide the dose factors to be used for the identified radio-
~uclides released.
Provide the annual average dispersion values (X/Q and D/Q), the site specific parameters and release point elevations. Other features, such as surveillance requirements, sampling and analysis pro9ram, detection limitations and representative samplin9 should be addressed.
- The format for the ODCM is left up to the licensee and may be simplified by tables and grid printout.
Each page should be numbered and indicate the facility approval and effective date.
Section 4 - Liquid Effluent Dose Provide the equations and m~thodology to be used at the station or unit for each liquid release point according to the dose objectives given in Speci-fications 3.11.1.2.
The section should describe how the dose contributions are to be calculated for the various pathways and release points, the equations and assumptions to be used, the site specific parameters to be measured and used, the receptor location by direction and distance, and the method of estimating and updating cumulative doses due to liquid releases.
The dose factors, pathway transfer factors, pathway usage factors,~ and dilution factors for the points of pathway origin, etc., should be given, as well as receptor age group, water and food consumption rate and other factors assumed or measured.
Provide the method of determining the dilu-tion factor at the discharge during any liquid effluent release and any site specific parameters used in these determinations. Other features such as surveillance requirements, sampling and analysis program, detection limitations and representative sampling should be addressed.
Section 5 - Gaseous Effluent Dose Provide the equations and methodology to be used at the station or unit for each gaseous release point according to the dose objectives given in Speci-fications 3.11.2.2 and 3.11.2.3. The section should describe how the dose contributions are to be calculated for the various pathways and release points, the equations and assumptions to be used, the site specific para-meters to be measured and used, the receptor location by direction and dis-tance, and the method estimating and updating cumulative doses due to gaseous releases. the location direction and distance to the nearest residence, cow, goat, mea't animal, garden, etc., should be given, as well as receptor age group, crop yield, grazing time and other factors assumed or measured.
Provide the method of determining dispersion values (X/O and D/O) for short-term and l'ong-term rel eases and any site specific parameters and release point elevations used in these determinations. Also, provide the criteria' for determining s.hort and long term releases. Other features such as surveillance req~irements, sampling and analysis program, detection limitations and representative sampling should be addressed.
S~ction 6 - Projected Doses For liquid and gaseous radwaste treatment systems, provide the method of projecting doses due to effluent releases for the normal and alternate path-ways of treatment accordfoq to the specifications, describing the components and subsystems to be used.
Section 7 - Operability of Equipment Provide a flow diagram(s) defining the treatment paths and the components of the radioactive liquid, gaseous and solid waste management systems that are to be maintained and used, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36a, to meet Technical
..1.-:-_.J -_..J

Specifications 3.11.1.3, 3.11.2.4 and 3.11.3.1. Subcomponents of packa9ed equipment can be identified by a list. For operating reactors whose con-struction permit applications were filed prior to January 2, 1971, the flow diagram(s) shall be consistent with the information provided in conformance with Section V.B.1 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.
For OL applications whose construction pennits were filed after January 2, 1971, the flow diagram(s) shall be consistent with the infonnation provided in Chapter 11 of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) or amendments thereto.
Section 8 - Sample Locations Provide a map of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Sample Locations indicating the numbered sampling locations given in Table 3.12-1.
Further clarification on these numbered sampling locations can be provided by a list, indicating the direction and distance from the center of the buildin~
complex of the unit or station, and may include a discriptive name for identification purposes.
