With the concentration of radioactive material released from the site to unrestricted areas exceeding the above limits, restore concen-tration of the effluent to unrestricted areas within the above limits and provide notification to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.1.14. b. The provisions of 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 are not applicable. SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 2.1.2.1 The concentration of radioactive material at any time in liquid ef-fluents released from the site shall be continuously monitored in accordance with Table 1.1-1. 2.1.2.2 The liquid effluent continuous monitors having provisions for automatic termination of liquid releases, as listed in Table 1.1-1, shall be used to limit the concentration of radioactive material released at any time from the site to unrestricted areas to the values given in Specification 1.1.2.1. 2.1.2.3 The radioactivity content of each batch of radioactive liquid waste to be discharged shall be determined prior to release by sampling and analysis in accordance with Table 2.1-2. The results of pre-release analyses shall be used with the calculational methods in the ODCM to assure that the concentration at the point of release is limited to the values in Specification 1.1.2.1. 2330 123 BRtWSWICK UNITS.1 & 2 A.1-5
2.1.2.4 Post-release analyses of samples from batch releases shall be per-formed in accordance with Table 2.1-2. The results of the post-release analyses shall be used with the calculational methods in the ODCM to assure that the concentrations at the point of release are limited to the values in Specification 1.1.2.1. BASES This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site to unrestricted areas will be less than the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II. This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radio-active materials in bodies of water ou side the site will not result in exposures within (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I,10 CFR Part 50, to an individual and (2) the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.106(e) to. the population. The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its MPC in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2. 2330 124 BRUNSWICK UNITS 1 & 2 A.1-6

TABLE 2.1-2 (continued) TABLE NOTATION The detectability limits for activity analysis are based on technical feasi-a. bility limits and on the potential significance in the environment of the quantities released. For some nuclides, lower detection limits may be readily achievable, and when nuclides are measured below the stated limits, they should also be reported. b. When operational or other limitations preclude specific gamma radionuclide analysis of each batch, gross radioactivity measurements shall be made to estimate the quantity and concentrations of radioactive material released in the batch, and a weekly sample composited from proportional aliquots from each batch released during the week shall be analyzed for principal gamma-emitting radionuclides. c. A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is propor-tional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged. d. For certain mixtures of gamma emitters, it may not be possible to measure radionuclides in concentrations near their sensitivity limits when other nuclides are present in the sample in much greater concentrations. Under these circumstances, it.will be more appropriate to calculate the concentration of such nuclides using measured ratios with those radionuclides which are routinely identified and measured. e. The lower limit of detection (LLD) is determined according to the methodology in the ODCM. 2330 126 BRUNSWICK UNITS 1 & 2 A.1-8

1/21.2.2 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS DOSE RATE LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 1.2.2.1 The release rate at any time in the unrestricted areas (see Figure 1.2-
- 1) due to radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents from the site shall be limited to the following rates:
The dose rate limit for noble gases shall be $500 mrem /yr to the a. total body and 5 3000 mrem /yr to the skin, and b. The dose rate limit for all radiciodines and for all radioactive materials in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases with half lives greater than 8 days shall be $1500 mrem /yr to any organ. APPLICABILITY: At all times. ACTION: With the dose rate (s) exceeding the above limits, decrease the release a. rate to comply with the limit (s) given in Specification 1.2.2.1 and provide prompt notification to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.1.14. b. The provisions of Specifications 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 are not applicable. SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 2.2.2.1 The release rate at any time of noble gases in gaseous effluents shall be controlled by the offsite dose rate as established above in Specification 1.2.2.1. 2.2.2.2 The noble gas effluent continuous monitors having provisions for the automatic termination of gaseous releases, as listed in Table 1.2-1 shall be used to limit offsite doses within the values established in Specification 1.2.2.1 when monitor setpoint values are exceeded. 2330 139 BRUNSWICK UNITS 1 & 2
2.2.2.3 The release rate of radioactive materials, other than noble gases, in gaseous effluents shall be determined by obtaining representative samples and performing analyses in ac. c' dance with the sampling and analysis program, spec-ified in Table 2.2-2. 2.2.7.4 The dose rate in unrestricted areas, due to radioactive materials other than noble gases released in gaseous effluents, shall be determined to be within the required limits by using the results of the sampling and analysis program, specified in Table 2.2-2 in performing the calculations of dose iate in unrestricted areas. BASES This specification is provided to ensure that the dose rate at anytime from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 for unrestricted areas. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 11. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous c'!!uents will not result in the exposure of an individual in an unrestricted area, either within or outside the exclusion area boundary, to annual average concen-trations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table !! of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR Part 20.106 (b)). For individuals who may at times be within the restricted area boundary, the occupancy of the individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the unrestricted area. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual in unrestricted areas to 5 (500) mrem / year to the total body or to 5 (3000) mrem / year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to an individual receptor via the cow-milk-receptor pathway to 51500 mrem / year. 2330 140 S BRUNSWICK UNITS 1 & 2 A.1-22

The detectability limits for activity analysis are based on technical feasibility and on the potential significance in the environment of the quantitie released. For some nuclides, lower detection limits may be readily achievable and when nuclides are measured below the stated limits, they will also be reported. b. Analyses shall also be performed following each refueling startup or similar operational occurrence which could alter the mixture of radionuclides as determined by the criteria in Specification 2.4.1.1. For certain mixtures of gamma emitters, it may not be possible to measure c. radionuclides at levels near their sensitivity limits when other nuclides are present in the sample at much higher levels. Under these circumstances, it will be more appropriate to calculate the levels of such radionuclides using observed ratios with those radionuclides which are measurable. d. When the steady-state gross radioactivity release rate increases by 50% over the previous corresponding power level steady-state release rate, the iodine and particulate collection device shall be removed and analyzed to determine the change in iodine-131 and particulate (with half-lives greater than eight days) release rate. The analysis shall be done daily following such change until it is shown that a pattern exists which can be used to predict the release rate; af ter which it may revert to weekly sampling frequency. To be representative of the average quantities and concentrations of radio-e. active materials in particulate form released in gaseous effluents, samples should be collected in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream. f. The lower limit of detection (LLD) is determined according to the methodology in the ODCM. 2330 144 BRUNSWICK UNITS 1 & 2 A.1-26

ACTION: With the calculated dose commitment from the release of radio-a. iodines and radioactive materials in particulate form, in gaseous effluents exceeding Limiting Condition For Operation 1.2.4.1, prepare and submit to the Commission pursuant to Section IV.A of Appendix I of 10 CFR Part 50 and Specification 6.9.1.14, a Special Report, in lieu of any other report which identifies the cause(s) for exceeding the limit and defines the corrective actions to be taken to reduce the releases of radiciodines and radioactive materials in particulate form, with half-lives greater than 8 days in gaseous effluents during the remainder of the current calendar quarter and during the re-maining quarter (s) of the calendar year so that the average dose commitment to an individual from such releases during the calendar year is within (30) mrem to any organ. b. With gaseous wastes being discharged for more than 31 days without treatment and in excess of the above limits, prepare and submit to 2330 147 BRUNSWICK UNITS 1 & 2 A.1-29
the Commission pursuant to Section IV.A of Appendix I of 10 CFR Part 50, a Special Report which includes the following information: 1. Identification of equipment or subsystems not available and the reason for its or their unavailability. 2. Action (s) taken to restore the non-cperable equipment to available status. 3. Summary description of action (s) taken to prevent a recurrence. c. The provisions of Specifications 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 are not applicable. SURVEILLENCE REQUIREMENTS 2.2.4.1 Dose Calculations Cumulative dose contributions and dose projections shall be determined as required and in accordance with the ODCM at least once every 31 days as noted in Table 1.1. BASES This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Section II.C, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I,10 CFR Part 50. The Limiting Conditions for Operation are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Seciton IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The ODCM calculational methods specified in the surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section !!I.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix ! be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The ODCM calculational methods for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are required to be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, " Calculating of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, " Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate specifications for radiolodines and radioactive material in particulate form am dependent on the existing radionuclide 2330 148 BRUNSWICK UNITS 1 & 2 A.1-30
pathways to man, in the unrestricted area. The pathways which are examined in the development of these calculations are:
- 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man,3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.
The VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM will be used to provide reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable" and that the requirements of Section II.C of Appendix ! of 10 CFR Part 50 are met. This specification implements the requiements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 30, and design objective Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. 2330 149 BRIINSWTCK UNITS 1 & 2 A.1-31

TABLE 2.6-1 NOTATIONS a. The LLD will be calculated for the 95% confidence level according to the methods desuibed in the ODCM. The LLD will be based on the actual observed variance in the baseline for a particular detection system rather than on an unverified theoretically predicted variance. Occasionally baseline fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence af interferring radionuclides, or other uncontro!!able circumstances may render the LLD's specified throughout the technical specifications unachievable. In view of the above discussion, environmental analyses will be performed in such a manner that the LLD for each radionuclide specified in Table 2.6-1 will be achieved 2 95% of the time in each calendar year. When unusual circumstances result in exceeding the LLD for any radionuclide in Table 2.6-1 greater than 5% of the time in any calendar year, the reasons for exceeding the LLD(s) will be identified and discussed in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. b.

1/21.6.2 LAND USE CENSUS LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 1.6.2.1 A land use census shall be conducted and shall identify the location of the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence and the nearest garden
- of greater than 500 square feet producing fresh leafy vegetables in each c,f the 16 meteorological sectors within a distance of five miles. (For each elevated release as defined in Regulatory Guide 1.111, March 1976, the land use census shall also identify the locations of all milk animals and all gardens of greater than 500 square feet producing fresh leafy vegetables in each of the 16 metecrological sectors within a distance of three miles.)
APPLICABILITY: At all times. ACTION: With a land use census identifying a location (s) which yields a a. calculated dose or dose commitment greater than the values currently being calculated in Specification 2.2.4.1, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days, a Special Report which identifies the new location (s). b. With a land use census identifying a location (s) which yields a cal-culated dose or dose commitment (via the same exposure pathway) greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained in accordance with Specificationi.6.1.1, prepare and submit to the Commission withi.i 30 days, a Special Report which identifies the new location. The new location shall be added to the radiological environmental monitoring program within 30 days, if possible. The sampling location having the lowest calculated dose or dose commitment (via the same exposure pathway) may be deleted from this monitoring program af ter October 31 of the year in which this land use census was conducted. c. The provisions of Specifications 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 are not applicable.
- Broad leaf vegetation sampling may be performed at the site boundary in the direction sector with the highest D/Q in lieu of the garden census.
2330 103 BRINSWICK UNITS 1 & 2 A.1-45
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 2.6.2.1 The land use census shall be conducted at least once per 12 months between the dates of June 1 and October 1, by door-to-door survey, aerial survey, or by consulting local agriculture authorities. BASES Ihis specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of unrestricted arcas are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 300 square feet provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/ year) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Revision i for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the fo!!owing a:sumptions were used:
- 1) that 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e.,
similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) a vegetation yield of 2 kg/ square meter. 2:30 1o4 BRUNSWICK UNITS 1 & 2 A146}}
