6.12.1 (Contd)
A radiation protection qualified individual (e.g., dealth Physics c.
Technician) with a radiation dose rate monitoring device, who is responsible for providing positive control over the activities within l
the area, and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance as i
specified by the Chemistry and Radiation Protection Supervisor in the l
RWP.
6.12.2 In addition to the requirements of Specification 6.12.1, areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels greater than 1000 mR/h at 45 cm (18 in.) from the radiation source or from any surface from which the radiation penetrates shall be provided with locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry, and the keys shall be maintained
['
under the administrative control of the Shift Supervisor on duty and/or health physics supervision. Doors shall remain locked except during periods of access by personnel under an approved RWP which shall j
specify the dose rate levels in the immediate work areas and the In lieu of maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area.
I the stay time specification of the RWP, direct or remote (such as 1
closed circuit TV cameras) continuous surveillance may be made by personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities-being performed within
-l the area.
For individual high radiation areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels of greater than 1000 mR/h that are located within large areas where
[
no enclosure exists for purposes of locking, and no enclosure can be reasonably constructed around the individual areas, then that individual area shall be barricaded, conspicuously posted, and a flashing light shall
+
be activated as a warning device.
6.13 ENVIRONMENTAL OVALIFICATION (Deleted) 6.14 PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM (PCP) 6.14.1 Changes to the PCP shall be submitted to the Commission in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which

the change (s) was made effective. This submittal shall contain:
Sufficiently detailed infor Mion to support the rationale for a.
the change; b.
A determination that the change did not reduce the overall conformance of the solidified waste product to existing criteria for solid wastes; and Documentation of the fact that the change has been reviewed c.
and approved by the responsible Nuclear Operations Department per CPC-2A (Quality Program).

6.16 RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS SOURCES 6.16.1.a.
Each sealed source, except start-up sources subject to l
core flux, containing byproduct material other than Hydrocen-3, with a half-life greater than thirty days and in any form other than gas shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed six months.
In the absence of a certificate from a transferor indicating that a test has been made within six months prior to the transfer, the sealed source shall not be put into use until tested.
b.
Notwithstanding the periodic leak tests required by this condition, any licensed sealed source is exempt from such leak tests when the source contains 100 microcuries or less of beta and/or gamma emitting material or 10 microcuries or less of alpha emitting material, The periodic leak test required by this condition does not apply c.
to sealed sources that are stored and not being used. The sources excepted from this test shall be tested for leakage prior to any use or transfer to another person unless they have been leak tested within six months prior to the date of use or transfer.
6.16.2 The test shall be capable of detecting the presence of 0.005 microcurie of radioactive material on the test sample. The test sample shall be taken from the sealed source or from the surfaces of the device in which the sealed source is permanently mounted or stored on which one might expect contamination to accumulate.
Records of leak test results shall be kept in units of microcuries and maintained for inspection by the Commission.

13.1 RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT RELEASES 13.1.1 RADI0 ACTIVE EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION OPERABILITY AND SURVEILLANCE RE0VIREMENTS 13.1.1.1 The radioactive effluent monitoring instrumentation channels shown i
in Table 13-1 shall be Operable with their alarm / trip set points j
set to ensure that the limits of Specification 13.1.2.1 or 13.1.3.1 are not exceeded. The alarm / trip set points of these channels shall be determined and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (0DCM).
APPLICABILITY: At all times.
ACTION:
With a radioactive effluent monitoring instrumentation channel a.
alarm / trip set point less conservative than required by the above specification, suspend the release of radioactive effluents monitored by the affected channel or declare the channel inoperable, or change the set point so it is acceptably conservative.
b.
With less than the minimum number of radioactive effluent monitoring instrumentation channels Operable, take the action shown in Table 13-1.
Exert best efforts to return the instruments to Operable status within 30 days and, if unsuccessful, explain in the next Radioactive Effluent
/
Release Report why the inoperability was not corrected in a timely manner.
13.1.1.2 Each radioactive effluent monitoring instrumentation channel shall be demonstrated Operable by performance of the Channel Check, Source Check, Channel Calibration and Channel Functional Test operations at the frequencies shown in Table 13-2.
BASES FOR 13.1.1.1 - RADI0 ACTIVE EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The radioactive effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in effluents during actual or potential releases of liquid effluents. The alarm / trip set points for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm / trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.

exclusively are the following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, In-65, Mo-99,* Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141 and Ce-144.* This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered.

d.
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 that is representative of the liquids released.
e.
A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a nondiscrete volume; e.g., from a volume of a system that has an input flow during the continuous release, f.
To be representative of the quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples shall be collected continuously in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream.
Prior to analyses, all samples taken for the composite shall be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the effluent release.
g.
The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification applies exclusively are the following radionuclides: Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135 and Xe-138 for gaseous emissions and Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141 and Ce-144** for particulate emissions. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered.
