SECTION I. RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT MONITORING MANUAL (REMM)

I.A. Introduction The purpose of Section I of this manual is to provide the sampling and analysis programs which provide input to Section II for calculating liquid and gaseous effluent concentrations and offsite doses. Guidelines are provided for operating radioactive waste treatment systems in order that offsite doses are kept As-Low-As-Reasonably -Achievable (ALARA).

The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program outlined within this manual provides confirmation that the measurable concentrations of radioactive material in the environment as a result of operations at the Millstone Site are not higher than expected.

In addition, this manual outlines the information required to be submitted to the NRC in both the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report and the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

MP-22-REC-REF03, "REMODCM Technical Information Document (TID)," has additional bases and technical infonnation. It also contains a list of exceptions to Regulatory Guide 1.21 (see Section 2 of the TID).

I.B. Responsibilities All changes to the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Manual (REMM) shall be reviewed and approved by the Facility Safety Review Committee prior to implementation.

All changes and their rationale shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

It shall be the responsibility of the Site Vice President Millstone to ensure that this manual is used as required by the administrative controls of the Technical Specifications. The delegation of implementation responsibilities is delineated in MP-22-REC-PRG, "Radiological Effluent Program."

LC. Liquid Effluents

1. Liquid Effluent Sampling and Analysis Program Radioactive liquid wastes shall be sampled and analyzed in accordance with the program specified in Table I.C.-1 for Millstone Unit No. 1, Table I.C.-2 for Millstone Unit No. 2, and Table I.C.-3 for Millstone Unit No. 3. The results of the radioactive analyses shall be input to the methodology of Section II to assure that the concentrations at the point of release are maintained within the limits of Radiological Effluent Controls (Section III.D.l.a. for Millstone Unit No. 1, Section IVD.l.a. for Millstone Unit No.

2, and Section VD.La. for Millstone Unit No. 3).

The LLD is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.

For a particular measurement system (which may include radiochemical separation):

LLD= 4.66 Sb (E)(V)(2.22xl06)(Ye -ALI 1)

Where:

  • LLD is the lower limit of detection as defined above (as µCi per unit mass or volume)
  • Sb is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute)
  • E is the counting efficiency (as counts per transformation)
  • V is the sample size (in units of mass or volume)
  • 2.22 x 1os is the number of transformations per minute per µCi
  • Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)
  • 1w is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide
  • At is the elapsed time between midpoint of sample collection and midpoint of counting time It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and recorded on the analysis sheet for the particular sample.

B. Prior to the sampling, each batch shall be isolated and at least two tank/sump volumes shall be recirculated or equivalent mixing provided.

C. A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen which is representative of the liquids released. Prior to analysis, all samples taken for the composite shall be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the effluents released.

D. For sources with no release during previous quarter, a quarterly sample is not required.

Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and recorded on the analysis sheet for the particular sample.

B. A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume from the tanks listed in this table. Prior to the sampling, each batch shall be isolated and at least two tank/sump volumes shall be recirculated or equivalent mixing provided. If the steam generator bulk can not .be recirculated prior to batch discharge, a sample will be obtained by representative compositing during discharge.

C. The LLD will be 5 x 1o- 7 µCi/ml. The principal gamma emitters for which this LLD applies are exclusively the following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, and Ce-141. Ce-144 shall also be measured, but with an LLD of 5 x 10- 6

µCi/ml. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported.

Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses should not be reported as being present at the LLD level. When unusual circumstances result in a priori LLDs higher than required, the reasons shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release

For a particular measurement system (which may include radiochemical separation):

LLD= 4.66 Sb (E)(V)(2.22xl06)(Ye-MI)

Where:

  • LLD is the lower limit of detection as defined above (as µCi per unit mass or volume)
  • Sb is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute)
  • E is the counting efficiency (as counts per transformation)
  • V is the sample size (in units of mass or volume)
  • 2.22 x 106 is the number of transformations per minute per µCi
  • Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)
  • ,. is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide
  • At is the elapsed time between midpoint of sample collection and midpoint of counting time It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and recorded on the analysis sheet for the particular sample.

B. A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume from the tanks listed in this table. Prior to the sampling, each batch shall be isolated and at least two tank/sump volumes shall be recirculated or equivalent mixing provided. If the steam generator bulk can not be recirculated prior to batch discharge, a sample will be obtained by representative compositing during discharge.

C. The LLD will be 5 x 1o- 7 µCi/ml. The principal gamma emitters for which this LLD applies are exclusively the following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, and Ce-141. Ce-144 shall also be measured, but with an LLD of 5 x 10- 6

µCi/ml. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported.

Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses should not be reported as being present at the LLD level. When unusual circumstances result in a priori LLDs higher than required, the reasons shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

D. For the Steam Generator Bulk:

IF the applicable batch gamma radioactivity is not greater than 5 x 1o- 7 µCi/ml, THEN the sampling and analysis schedule for gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55 are not required .

a. Dose Criteria for Equipment Functionality Applicable to All Millstone Units The following dose criteria shall be applied separately to each Millstone unit.
1) IF any of the radioactive waste processing equipment listed in Section 2.b. are not functional or are being bypassed, THEN doses due to gaseous effluents from the untreated waste stream to unrestricted areas shall be projected at least once per 31 days in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section II.D.4.

For each waste stream, only those doses specified in Section II.D.4.

need to be determined for compliance with this section.

2) IF any of these dose projections exceed 0.02 mrad for gamma radiation, 0.04 mrad for beta radiation or 0.03 mrem to any organ due to gaseous effluents, THEN best efforts shall be made to return the processing equipment to service.
3) IF actual doses exceed 0.2 mrad for gamma radiation, 0.4 mrad for beta radiation or 0.3 mrem to any organ AND the dose from a waste stream with equipment not functional exceed 10% any of these limits, THEN prepare and submit to the Commission a report as specified in Section I.D.2.c.
b. Required Equipment for Each Millstone Unit Best efforts shall be made to return the gaseous radioactive waste treatment system equipment specified below for each unit to service if the projected doses exceed any of doses specified above. For the Unit 2 gas decay tanks, the tanks shall be operated to allow enough decay time of radioactive gases to ensure that the Radiological Effluent Control dose limits are not exceeded.

I.E. Radiological Environmental Monitoring

1. Sampling and Analysis The radiological sampling and analyses provide measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from plant operation. This monitoring program thereby supplements 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 modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.

Program changes may be made based on operational experience.

The sampling and analyses shall be conducted as specified in Table I.E. -1 for the locations shown Table I.E.-2. Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment or other legitimate reasons. If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, every effort shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period.

All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Section I.El. It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to obtain samples of the media of choice at the most desired location or time. In these instances suitable alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathway in question and appropriate substitutions made within 30 days in the radiological environmental monitoring program. Any of the above occurrences shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report, which is submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission prior to May 1 of each year.

If the level of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium at one or more of the locations specified in Table I.E. -2 exceeds the report leveis of Table I.E. -3 when averaged over any calendar quarter, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days from receipt of sample results, a Special Report which includes an evaluation of any release conditions, environmental factors or other aspects which caused the limits of Table I.E. -3 to be exceeded. When more than one of the radionuclides in Table I.E.-3 are detected in the sampling medium, this report shall be submitted if:

concentration (1) concentration (2)

When radionuclides other than those in Table I.E.-3 are detected and are the result of plant effluents, this report shall be submitted if the potential annual dose to an individual is equal to or greater than the appropriate calendar year limit of the Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III.D.l.b.,

III.D.2.b., or III.D.2.c. for Unit 1; Sections IV.D.l.b., IV.D.2.b., or IV.D.2.c.

for Unit 2; and Sections V.D.l.b., V.D.2.b., or V.D.2.c. for Unit 3). This report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity was not the result of plant effluents, however, in such an event, the condition shall be reported and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

The detection capabilities required by Table I.E.-4 are state-of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. All analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

  • Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)
  • i is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide
  • At is the elapsed time between midpoint of sample collection and midpoint of counting time (or end of the sample collection period) and time of counting.

It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

2. Land Use Census A land use census shall be conducted annually during the growing season to identify; (1) changes in the use of unrestricted areas, (2) receptor locations, and (3) new exposure pathways to permit modifications in monitoring programs for evaluating doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. The land use census shall identify the location of the nearest resident, nearest garden, and any other land-based food sources in each of the meteorological land sectors within a distance of five miles. Sectors SE, SSE, S, and SSW, are not land sectors because they are over water.

When a land use census identifies a food source location other than the nearest garden in a sector which yields a calculated dose greater than the dose currently being calculated in the off-site dose models, make the appropriate changes in the sample location used.

For each type of food source (milk, fruits, etc.) other than the nearest garden in a sector, when a land use census identifies a location which has a D/Q 20%

or greater than the D/Q for a current indicator location begin sampling from the new location within 30 days.

Sample location changes for food sources other than nearest garden shall be noted in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

3. Interlaboratory Comparison Program The Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of a quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are reasonably valid.

Analyses shall be performed on radioactive materials supplied as part of an Interlaboratory Comparison Program. A summary of the results obtained as part of the above required Interlaboratory Comparison Program shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

With analyses not being performed as required above, report the corrective actions taken to prevent a recurrence to the Commission in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

II.C. Liquid Dose Calculations Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III, IV, and V) limit whole body and maximum organ doses to an individual member of the public to 1.5 mrem whole body and 5 mrem maximum organ per calendar quarter and 3 mrem whole body and 10 mrem maximum organ per year from liquid effluents released from each unit. (See Appendix A, Table App.A-1 for cross-reference effluent control requirements and applicable sections in the REMODCM which are used to determine compliance). In addition, installed portions of liquid radwaste treatment system are required to be operated to reduce radioactive materials in liquid effluents when the projected dose over 31 days from applicable waste streams exceeds 0.006 mrem whole body or 0.02 mrem maximum organ. This part of the REMO DCM provides the calculation methodology for determining the doses from radioactive materials released into liquid pathways of exposure associated with routine discharges.

1. Monthly, Quarterly, and Annual Dose Calculation (Applicable to All Units)

For each Unit, whole body and maximum organ doses from liquid effluents shall be calculated at least once per 31 days ( or monthly) using the methodology of Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1. The calculation shall include contributions from all analyses required by Table I.C-1 for Unit 1, Table I.C-2 for Unit 2, and Table I.C-3 for Unit 3 recorded to date. If any required analyses have not yet been completed for the dose period, an estimate of dose from unanalyzed isotopes shall be included in the dose total.

Results of these dose calculations shall be summed to determine compliance with quarterly and annual dose limits for each Unit.

2. Monthly Dose ProjectionsSection I.C.2.a. of the REMM requires that certain portions of the liquid radwaste treatment equipment be used to reduce radioactive liquid effluents when the projected doses for each Unit (made at least once per 31 days) exceeds 0.006 mrem whole body or 0.02 mrem to any organ. The following methods are applied in the estimation of monthly dose projections:
a. Whole Body and Maximum Organ when Steam Generator Total Gamma Radioactivity is less than 5E- 7 µCi/ml and Steam Generator Tritium is less than 0.02 µCi/ml (Applicable to Units 2 and 3)

The projected monthly whole body dose (Units 2 or 3) is determined from:

The monthly projected maximum organ dose (Units 2 or 3) is determined from:

Where:

DMw =the whole body dose from the last typical previously completed month as calculated per the methods in Section IL C. l.

DMo = the maximum organ dose from the last typical previously completed month as calculated per the methods in Section IL C. l.

R1 = the ratio of the total estimated volume of liquid batches to be released in the present month to the volume released in the past month.

R4 = the ratio of estimated primary coolant radioactivity for the present month to that for the past month.

F2 = the factor to be applied to the estimated ratio of final curies released if there are expected differences in treatment of liquid waste for the present month as opposed to the past month (e.g., bypass of filters or demineralizers).

NUREG-0017 or past experience shall be used to determine the effect of each form of treatment which will vary. F2 = 1 if there are no expected differences.

  • The last month should be typical without significant operational differences from the projected month. If there were no releases during last month, do not use that month as the base month if it is estimated that there will be releases for the coming month.
b. Whole Body and Maximum Organ when Steam Generator Total Gamma radioactivity Exceeds 5E-7 µCi/ml or Steam Generator Tritium Exceeds 0.02 µCi/ml (Applicable to Units 2 and 3)

The projected monthly whole body dose (Units 2 or 3) is determined from:

II.D. Gaseous Dose Calculations

1. Site Release Rate Limits ("Instantaneous")

Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III.D.2.a, IY.D.2.a, and V.D.2.a) for each unit require that the instantaneous off-site dose rates from noble gases released to the atmosphere be limited such that they do not exceed 500 mrem/year at any time to the whole body or 3000 mrem/year to the skin at any time. For iodine-131, 133, tritium, and particulates (half-lives > 8 days), the dose rate from all units shall not exceed 1500 mrem/year at any time to any organ. These limits apply to the combination of releases from all three Units on the site, and*are directly related to the radioactivity release rates measured for each Unit.

a. Method 1 for Noble Gas Release Rate Limits Instantaneous noble gas release rate for the site:

01v /90,000 +Ozs/560,000 + 02v/290,000 + Q3s/560,000 + 0 3v/290,000 _:s.1 Where:

01v = Noble gas release rate from Spent Fuel Pool Island Vent

(µCi/sec) 02s = Noble gas release rate from MP2 to Millstone Stack (µCi/sec) 02v = Noble gas release rate from MP2 Vent (µCi/sec)

Q3y = Noble gas release rate from MP3 Vent (µCi/sec)

Q3s = Noble gas release rate from MP3 to Millstone Stack (µCi/sec)

As long as the above is less than or equal to 1, the doses will be less than or equal to 500 mrem to the total body and less than 3000 mrem to the skin. The limiting factor for the Unit 1 SFPI vent of 90,000 is based on the skin dose limit of 3,000 mrem/year, while all the other factors are based on the whole body dose limit of 500 mrem/year.

b. Method 1 Release Rate Limit - I-131, I-133, H-3 and Particulates Half Lives Greater Than 8 Days With releases satisfying the following limit conditions, the dose rate to the maximum organ will be less than 1500 mrem/year from the inhalation pathway:

Due to the variability of these parameters, the alert and alarm setpoints will be determined prior to the release of each batch. The following method will be used:

STEP 1:

From the isotopic analysis and the Effluent Concentration (EC) values for each identified nuclide determine the required reduction factor, i.e.:

F = O.lxRxD Where:

D = The existing dilution flow which is the any dilution flow from Millstone Unit 2 and/or Unit 3 not being credited for any other radioactivity discharge during discharge of Unit 1 water.

0.1 = safety factor to limit discharge concentration to 10% of the Radiological Effluent Control Limit.

STEP 3:

Calculate the monitor setpoint as follows:

Rset = 2 x AC x RCF + Background Where:

Rset = The setpoint of the monitor.

AC = The total radwaste effluent concentration (µCi/ml ) in the tank.

RCF = The response correction factor for the effluent line monitor using the current calibration factor or isotopic-specific responses.

2 = Tolerance limit which brings the setpoint at twice the expected response of the monitor based on sample analysis. With the safety factor of 0.1 the setpoint would be at 20% of the Radiological Effluent Control Limit.

Option setpoint:

A setpoint based upon worst case conditions may be used. Assume the maximum possible discharge flow, a minimum dilution flow not to exceed 100,000 gpm, and a limit of 1 x 10-7 µCi/ml which is lower than any 10CFR20 EC limit except for transuranics. This will assure that low level releases are not terminated due to small fluctuations in radioactivity. When using this option setpoint independent verification of discharge lineup shall be performed. The optional setpoint may be adjusted (increased or decreased) by factors to account for the actual discharge flow and actual dilution flow; however, controls shall be established to ensure that the allowable discharge flow is not exceeded and the dilution flow is maintained.

The concentration of 1.1 x 10- 2 µCi/ml is based on 175 gpm discharge flow, 100,000 gpm dilution flow, and a safety factor of 0.1 (See Note below.)

NOTE Note that discharging at this flow rate would yield a discharge concentration corresponding to 10% of the Radiological Effluent Control Limit due to the safety factor of 0.1.

With this condition on discharge flow rate met, the monitor setpoint can be calculated:

Rset = 2 x AC x RF (See Note 1 below.)

Where:

Rset = the setpoint of the monitor (cpm).

AC = the total radwaste effluent concentration (µCi/ml) in the tank.

RF = the response factor for the effluent line monitor using the current calibration factor or isotopic-specific responses.

SETPOINT DURING POWER OPERATIONS:

To give adequate warning of abnormal radioactivity, the setpoint shall be two times the radiation monitor background reading, provided that the background reading does not exceed 2,000 cpm. The monitor background reading shall be the normal monitor reading. If the monitor background reading exceeds 2,000 cpm, the setpoint shall be set at the background reading plus 2,000 cpm and provisions shall be made to adjust the setpoint if the background decreases.

SETPOINT DURING SHUTDOWN:

1) During outages not exceeding three months the setpoint shall be two times the radiation monitor background reading, provided that the background reading does not exceed 415 cpm. If the monitor background reading exceeds 415 cpm, the setpoint shall be set at the background reading plus 415 cpm and provisions shall be made to adjust the setpoint if the background decreases.
2) During extended outages exceeding three months, but not exceeding three years, the setpoint shall be two times the radiation monitor background reading, provided that the background reading does not exceed 80 cpm. If the monitor background reading exceeds 80 cpm, the setpoint shall be set at the background reading plus 80 cpm and provisions shall be made to adjust the setpoint if the background decreases.
  • PROVISIONS FOR ALTERNATE DILUTION FLOWS:

These setpoints are based on a dilution flow of 4,000 gpm from one service water train. If additional dilution flow is credited, the setpoint may be adjusted proportionately. For example, the addition of a circulating water pump dilution flow of 100,000 gpm would allow the setpoint to be increased by a factor of 25.

1. If discharging at the allowable discharge rate (F) as determined above, this Alarm setpoint would yield a discharge concentration corresponding to 20% of the Radiological Effluent Control limit.

a. the effluent radiation monitor controls and surveillance requirements,
b. the effluent radioactivity concentration and dose controls and surveillance requirements, and
c. the bases for the controls and surveillance requirements.

Definitions of certain terms are provided as an aid for implementation of the controls and requirements.

Some surveillance requirements refer to specific sub-sections in Sections I and II as part of their required actions.

IV.B. Definitions, Applicability and Surveillance Requirements IV.B.l - Definitions The defined terms of this sub-section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout Section rv.

1. ACTION - Those additional requirements specified as corollary statements to each principal control and shall be part of the control.
2. FUNCTIONAL I FUNCTIONALITY - An instrument shall be FUNCTIONAL or have FUNCTIONALITY when it is capable of performing its specified functions(s) and when all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal and emergency electrical power sources, or other auxiliary equipment that are required for the instrument to perform its functions are also capable of performing their related support functions.
3. CHANNEL CALIBRATION - A CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall be the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel output such that it responds within the necessary range and accuracy to know values of the parameter which the channel monitors. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass the entire channel including the sensors and alarm and/or trip functions, and shall include the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps such that the entire channel is calibrated.

This determination shall include, where possible, comparison of the channel indication and/or status with other indications and/or status derived from independent instrument channels measuring the same parameter.
5. CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST - A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST shall be the injection of a simulated signal into the channel as close to the primary sensor as practicable to verify FUNCTIONALITY including alarm and/or trip functions. For digital instruments, the computer database may be manipulated, in lieu of a signal injection, to verify functionality of alarm

. and/or trip functions.

6. SOURCE CHECK - A SOURCE CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel sensor is exposed to radiation.
7. MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC -*MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC shall include all persons who are not occupationally associated with the plant.

This category does not include employees of the utility, its contractors or its vendors. Also excluded from this category are persons who enter the site to service equipment or to make deliveries. This category does include persons who use portions of the site for recreational, occupational, or other purposes not associated with the plant.

The term "REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC" means an individual who is exposed to existing dose pathways at one particular location.

8. MODE - Refers to Mode of Operation as defined in Safety Technical Specifications.
9. SITE BOUNDARY - The SITE BOUNDARY shall be that line beyond which the land is not owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the licensee.
10. UNRESTRICTED AREA - Any area at or beyond the site boundary to which access is not controlled by the licensee for purposes of protection of individuals from exposure to radiation and radioactive materials or any area within the site boundary used for residential quarters or industrial, commercial, institutional and/or recreational purposes.

a. the effluent radiation monitor controls and surveillance requirements,
b. the effluent radioactivity concentration and dose controls and surveillance requirements, and
c. the bases for the controls and surveillance requirements.

Definitions of certain terms are provided as an aid for implementation of the controls and requirements.

Some surveillance requirements refer to specific sub- sections in Sections I and II as part of their required actions.

V.B. Definitions and Applicability and Surveillance Requirements V.B.1 - Definitions The defined terms of this sub-section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout Section V.

1. ACTION - ACTION shall be that part of the control which prescribes remedial measures required under designated conditions.
2. CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST - A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST shall be the injection of a simulated signal into the channel as close to the sensor as practicable to verify FUNCTIONALITY of alarm, interlock and/or trip functions. For digital instruments, the computer database may be manipulated, in lieu of a signal injection, to verify functionality of alarm and/or trip functions.

The CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST shall include adjustments, as necessary, of the alarm, interlock and/or trip setpoints such that the setpoints are within the required range and accuracy.
