E 3.2 Radiological Environ = ental Monitoring Obiective An environtental radiolegicni ncnitoring progran is cenducted to provide data en neasurable levels of radiatien and radicactive natErials in the Calvert Cliffs environs in order to verif/* that radioactive releases and related public exposures fro: Calvert Cliffs Units 1 arr2 are-within allovable limits.

Specificatiens A. Environmental sc.rples shall be ecliected and analyzed according to Table 3.2-1. Sampling stations are shcvn in Fig. 3.2-1.

3. Analytical techniques used shall te such that the detectioncapabilities listed in Table-3.2-2 are achieved.

C. During the season when cows are en pasture, sanples of fresh milk vill be the obt'ained =cnthly fros cows at/ location indicate.1 in Fig. 3 2-1 and anglyzed' ]

for their radioicdine content, calculated as iodine-131, within 8 days (cre I-131 half-life) of sampling. l l D. With the radiological environmental conitoring program not being conducted as specified in Table 3. 2-1, prepare and subnit to the Cen=ission, in the Annual Radic1cgical Operating Eeport, a description of the reasons for not conducting the progran as required and the plans for preventing a recurrence.

(Deviations are permitted frc= the required'serpling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, unsvailability, or to calfunction 2

of sanpling equipment. If the latter, every effort shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period.)

! E. With the level of radioactivity in an environ = ental sampling medium at ene or i more of the locations specified in Table 3.2-1 exceeding the limits of Table 3

3 2-3 when averaged over any calendar quarter, prepare and submit to the i

Concission within 30 days frc the end of the affected calendar quarter, a Special.Ecport which includes an evaluaticn of any releace ecnditions, i -

environmental factors or other aspects which caused th limite of Table 3 2-3 to be exceeded. This report is not required if the reasured level of radioactivity was not the result of plan *. efflucnts; .1:vev?r, in such an event, the conditien shall be repcrtei and descriled in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Eeport.

Ee;crtir - Feluirement E? port; for the radiological environmental surveillance progran shall be made in acecrdance with Sectinn 5.6.1.a - Part 3.

Easis The monitoring prograr utilizes LO sampling lo:atier.s which were selected by con-sidering the projected / anticipated releases of radiceffluents, site meteorology, pcpulation distribution and appropriate pathways having a significant potential fcr radiation exposure to biota and man.

Media vnich first shev $hanges in radioactivity are sampled rest frequently. These which are less affected by transient changes but are expectcd to chev long-ter accurulatien are sa pled at longer intervals.

The specifications and effluent nitoring require ents in Secticn 2.h " Radioactive Effluents" insure that releases of radionuclides in liquid and gaseous effluents are properly controlled and monitcred. The data citained as a result of these requirements vill perdit an evaluation of the perfcr ance of the station in terns of radionuelides released to the environment.

The environmental menitoring pro ran requires sufficient sampling ' locations, types of 2 ples and sensitivity of analyses which, with preoperational and background data, vill provide verification of the effectiveners of staticn radioeffluent control, an indication of measurable change in radiation und radicactivity levels in the envirennent, and provide reasonable assurance that the decign cb-jective releases / doses specified in Jacticn 2.3 are not exceeded.
