Page 1 of 2 1.0 e The Radioactive Effluent Release Report includes a summary of the quantities of radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents and solid waste as outlined in Regulato-ry Guide 1.21, "Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants", Revision 1, June 1974, with data summarized on a quarterly basis following the format of Tables 1, 2 and 3 of Appendix B thereof. The report submitted within 60 days after January 1 of each year includes an assessment of radiation doses to the maximum exposed member of the public due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents released from the site during the previous calendar year. The report also includes a list of unplanned releases during the reporting period.

As required by Technical Specification 6.8B, changes to the ODCM for the time period covered by this report are included. Information is provided to support the changes along with a package of those pages of the ODCM changed.

This report includes changes to the PCP with information and documentation necessary to support the rationale for the changes as required by Technical Specification 6.8A.

Major changes to the radioactive liquid, gaseous and solid waste treatment systems are reported as required by Technical Specification 6.9. Information to support the reason for the change and a summary of the 10CFR50.59 evaluation are included. In lieu of reporting major changes in this report, major changes to the radioactive waste treatment systems may be submitted as part of the annual FSAR update.

As required by Technical Specification 3. 7E.2, a list and explanation for the inoperability of radioactive liquid and/or gaseous effluent monitors are provided in this report.

2.0 Discussion The basis for the calculation of the percent of technical specification for the critical organ in Table lA of Attachment 1, is Technical Specification 3.llB.l.a (ii). Technical Specification 3.1 lB. l.a (ii) requires that the dose rate for iodine

- 131, for tritium, and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days shall be less than or equal to 1500 mRem/yr to the critical organ at or beyond the site boundary. The critical organ is the child's thyroid, inhalation pathway.

The basis for the calculation of percent of technical specification for the total body and skin in Table lA of Attachment 1, is Technical Specification 3.llB.l.a (i). This Technical Specification requires that the dose rate for noble gases to areas at or beyond site boundary shall be less than or equal to 500 mRem/yr to the total body and less than or equal to 3000 mRem/yr to the skin.

The basis for the calculation of the percent of technical specification in Table 2A of Attachment 1, is Technical Specification 3.11 A.1.a. Technical Specification 3.11 A. l.a states that the concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to unrestricted areas shall be limited to the concentrations specified in 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2 for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 2 X 1o-4 micro curies/ ml.

e Page 2 of 2 Percent of technical specification calculations are based on the total gaseous or liquid effluents released for that respective quarter.

The annual and quarterly doses, as reported in Attachment 2, were calculated according to the methodology presented in the ODCM. The beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases released from the site were calculated at site bounda-ry. The maximum exposed member of the public from the release of airborne iodine - 131, tritium and all radionuclides in particulate form with half lives greater than 8 days, is defined as an infant, exposed through the grass-cow-milk pathway, with the critical organ being the thyroid. The maximum exposed memb-er of the public from radioactive materials in liquid effluents in unrestricted areas is defined as an adult, exposed by either the invertebrate or fish pathway, with the critical organ being either the thyroid or GI-LLI. The total body dose was also determined for this individual.

Unplanned releases presented in Attachment 7 are defined in Technical Specification 6.6.B.3 as those gaseous releases exceeding Technical Specification 3.11.B. l.a and those liquid releases exceeding Technical Specification 3.11.A.1.a.

The typical lower level of detection (LLD) capabilities of the radioactive effluent analysis instrumentation are presented in Attachment 8. These LLD values are based upon conservative conditions (i.e., minimum sample volumes and maximum delay time prior to analysis). Actual LLD values may be lower. If an isotope is not detected when analyzing effluent samples, then the activity of that isotope will be reported as Not Detected (N/D) on Attachment 1 of this report. When all isotopes listed on Attachment 1 for a particular quarter and release mode are less than the lower level of detection, then the totals for this period will be designated as Not Applicable (N/A).

3.0 Supplemental Information Technical Specification 3.11.D. l.d requires the identification of the cause for the unavailability of milk or leafy vegetation samples, required by Technical Specification, Table 4.9-3, and identification for obtaining replacement samples.

All milk and leafy vegetation samples required by Table 4.9-3 were available for collection during the period of July 1, 1987 through December 31, 1987.

Technical Specification 3.11.D.2.b requires the identification of new sample locations determined with the Land Use Census as yielding a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than the values being calculated in Technical Specif-ication 4.9.C. No new sample location(s) that may yield a greater dose or dose commitment that are currently used in Technical Specification 4.9.C, were identified in the Land Use Census.

Dry Cask Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Technical Specification Appendix C, 1.4.1 requires reporting the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released from the installation to the environment in liquid and gaseous effluents during the previous 6 months of operations. There were no liquid or gaseous effluent releases from the Dry Cask Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation during the period of July l, 1987 through December 31, 1987.

e 4'ctachment 5 Page 1 of 1 MAJOR CHANGES TO RADIOACTIVE LIQUID, GASEOUS AND SOLID WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS There were no major changes to Surryls Radioactive Liquid, Gaseous or Solid Waste Treatment Systems during the period of July 1, 1987 through December 31, 1987.

e Attachment 6 Page 1 of 1 INOPERAJBILITY OF RADIOACTNE LIQUID AND GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION Technical Specification 3.7.E.2 requires the Semi-Annual Report to include an explanation why monitors required by Technical Specification Tables 3. 7-S(a) and 3. 7-S(b) which were determined inoperable, were not returned to operable status within 30 days.

Two monitors require explanation under this criteria for the period of July 1, 1987 through December 31, 1987. They are the Component Cooling Service Water Monitor and the Waste Gas Holdup System Explosive Gas Oxygen Monitor.

1. The Component Cooling Service Water Monitor (RM-SW-107) continues to be inoperable as described in the previous Semi-Annual Report.

Two Engineering studies, suggesting alternate radiation monitoring systems have been completed. A review of these studies indicates that monitoring the component cooling level and sampling of the service water may provide better sensitivity than the proposed systems.

A Technical Specification Change will be proposed to eliminate the radiation monitoring requirement and replace it with service water grab sampling and/or component cooling level monitoring.

Grab sampling, as required by Table 3. 7-S(a) when the monitor is out of service, has been performed since the monitor became inoperable. The grab sampling will continue until this matter is resolved.

2. Replacement of the Waste Gas Holdup System Oxygen Monitors and modification of the sample lines were completed in August of 1986. However, normal operation of the system caused alarm annunciations in the control room. Modification of the annunciator to prevent spurious alarms under normal station operations was completed in December 1987. Full operation of the monitors is expected in the first quarter of 1988.

Grab sampling as required by Technical Specification Table 3. 7-S(b) when the monitor is out of service, has been performed since the monitor became inoperable. Grab sa,mpling will continue to satisfy the monitoring requirements until the modification has been completed.
