ABSTRACT 4
l The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) is divided into two' parts: _(1) the in plant Radiological Effluent Monitoring Program requirements for liquid and gas sampling and analysis, along with the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program requirements (Part A); and (2) approved methods to determine effluent monitor setpoint values and estimates of doses and radionuclide concentrations occurring beyond the boundaries of Seabrook Station resulting from normal Station operation (Part B).
The sampling and analysis programs in Part A provide the inputs for the models of Part B in order to calculate offsite doses and radionuclide concentrations necessary to determine compliance with the dose and concentration requirements of the Station Technical Specification 3/4.11. The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program required by Technical Specification 3/4.12 and outlined within this manual provides the means to determine that measurable concentrations of ,
radioactive materials released as a result of the operation of Seabrook Station are not significantly higher than expected.

PART A RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT MONITORING PROGRAMS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of Part A of'the 00CM (Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual) is to describe the sampling and analysis programs conducted by the Station whicn provides input to the models in Part B for calculating liquid and gaseous effluent concentrations, monitor setpoints, and off-site doses. The results of Part B calculations are used to determine compliance with the concentration and dose requirements of Technical $pecification 3/4.11.
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program required as a minimum to t.e conducted (per Technical Specification 3/4.12) is described in Part A, with the identification of current locations of sampling stations being utilized to meet the program requirements listed in Part B. The information obtained from the conduct of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program provides data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the environment necessary to evaluate the relationship between quantitles of radioactive materials released in effluents and resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. The data developed in the ,
surveillance and monitoring programs described in Part A to the 00CM provide a !
means to confirm that measurable concentrations of radioactive materials {
released as a result of Seabrook Station operations are not significantly higher than expected based on the dose models in Part B. l A.1-1 4626R ODCM Rev.10
2.3 RESPON5!B!LITIES FOR PART A All changes to Part A of the 00CM shall be reviewed and approved by :.e
- Station Operations Review Committee (SORC) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission prior to implementation.
It.shall be the responsibility of the Station Manager to ensure that the 00CM is used in the performance of the surveillance recuirements and administrative controls of the appropriate portions of the Technical Specifications.

5.0 RA010 LOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING I 5.1 Samoline and Analysis Procram ;
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) provides representative measurements of radiation and radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposure of members of the public resulting from station operation. This monitoring program is required by Technical Specification 3.12.1. The monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix 1 to 10CFR, Part 50, and thereby supplements the radiological ef fluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on
- the basis of effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways which have been incorporated into Part 8 of the ODCM.
4 The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first three years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.
In accordance with Technical Specification surveillance requirements, 4.12.1, sampling and analyses shall be conducted as specified in Table A.5-1 Detection capability f or locations shown in Section 4 of Part B to the 00CM.
requirements, and reporting levels for radioactivity concentrations in environmental samples are shown on Tables A.5-2 and A.5-3. respectively.
It should be noted that Technical Specification 3.12.1.C requires that if milk or fresh leafy vegetable samples are unavailable from one or more sample locations required by the REMP, new specific locations for obtaining replacement samples (if available) shall be added to the REMP within 30 days, and the specific locations, from which the samples are unavailable may then be deleted from the monitoring program. In this context, the term unavailable means that samples are no longer available to be collected now or in the future for reasons such as the permission from the owner to collect the samples has been withdrawn or he has gone out of business, thus causing the permanent lose of the sample location.

5.2 Land Use Census As part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, Technical Specification 3/4.12.2 requires that a land use census be conducted annually during growing season to identify within a distance of 8 km the location in each of the 16 meteorological sr . tors of the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence, and the nearest garden of greater than 50 m producing broad leaf vegetation. -
The land use census ensures that changes in the use of area beyond the site boundary are identified, and appropriate modifications to the monitoring program and dose assessment models are made, if necessary. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.3.3 of Appendix I to 10CFR Part 50.
Foi the purpose of conducting the land use census as required by Technical Specification 4.12.2, station personnel should determine what survey methods will provide the necessary results considering the type of information to be collected and the use to which it will be put, such as the location of potential milk animal pathway for use in routine dose calculations. Land use census results shall be obtained by using a survey method, or combination of methods, which may include, but are not limited to, door-to-door surveys (i.e., roadside identification of locations), aerial surveys, or by consulting local agricultural authorities.
l Technical Specification 3.12.2.b requires that new locations identified from the census that yield a calculated dose of dose commitment 20 percent ,
i greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained be added within 30 days to the REMP. These new locations required to be added to the sampling program shall only be those from which permission from the owner to collect samples can be obtained and sufficient sample volume-is available.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
~ ~
Part B of the ODCM'(Off-Site Oose Calculation Manual) provides formal
- . and approved methods for the calculation of off-site. concentration, off-site '
doses and effluent monitor setpoints. and indicates the-locations of environmental monitoring stations in order 'to comply with the Seabrook Station Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS), Sections 3/4.3.3.9, j 3/4.3.3.10, and 3/4.11, as well as the REMP detailed in Part A of the manual. .;
The ODCM forms the basis for station procedures which document the off-site .,
doses due to station operation which are used to show compliance with the l numerical guides for design objectives of Section II of Appendix I to 10CFR Part 50. The methods contained herein follow accepted NRC guidance, ;
unless otherwise noted in the text. l 1.1 Responsibilities for Part 8 All changes to Part B of the ODCM shall be reviewed and approved by the .
,j Station Operation Review Committee (SORC) in accordance with Technical j Specification 6.13 prior to implementation. Changes made to Part B shall be submitted to the Commission for their information in the Annual Radioactive l Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change (s) was made effective.
It shall be the responsibility of the Station Manager to ensure that the ODCM is used in the performance of in-plant surveillance requirements and -l administrative controls of the appropriate portions of the Technical Specifications, and Effluent Control Program detailed in Part A of the manual. ;
The Executive Director - Nuclear Production shall be responsible to ensure l that the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program described in Section 4 of Part B is implemented in accordance with Technical Specification 3/4.12 and Part A of this manual.
In addition to off-site dose calculations for the demonstration of compliance with Technical Specification dose limits at and beyond the site boundary, 10CFR20.1302 requires that compliance with the dose limits for !
individual members of the public (100 mres/yr total effective dose equivalent) i
- be demonstrated in controlled areas on-site. Demonstration of compliance with the dose limits to members of the public in controlled areas is implemented per He*1th Physics Department Procedures, and is outside the scope of l i

l the 00CM. However, calculations performed in accordance with the ODCM can be l used as one indicator of,the need to perform an assessment of exposure to l members of the public within the site boundary. Since external direct l- exposure pathways are already subject to routine exposure rate surveys and l measurements, only the inhalation pathway need be assessed. The accumulated l critical organ dose at the site boundary, as calculated per ODCM Sections 3.9 j and 3.11. can be used as an indicator of when additional assessments of l on site exposure to members of the public is advisable (see Section 3.11.2).
l Off-site critical organ doses from station effluents should not, however, be l the only indicator of potential on-site doses.
1.2 Summary of Methods. Dose Factors. Limits. Constants. Variables and Definitions This section summarizes the Method I dose equations which are used as the primary means of demonstrating compliance with RETS. The concentration and setpoint methods are identified in Table B.1-2 through Table B.1-7. Where more refined dose calculations are needed the use of Method II dose determinations are described in Sections 3.2 through 3.9 and 3.11. The dose factors used in the equations are in Tables B.1-10 through B.1-14 and the Regulatory Limits are summarized in Table B.1-1.
The variables and special definitions used in this ODCM, Part B, are in Tables B.1 8 and B.1-9.

TABLE B.1-9 i
Definition of Terms i
Critical ReceDtor - A hypothetical or real individual whcse location and behavior cause him or her to receive a dose greater than any other possible real individual.
D2sg - As used in Regulatory Guide 1.109, the term " dose," when applied to individuals, is used instead of the more precise term " dose, equivalent," as defined by the International Commission on Radiological Units and Measurements (ICRU). When applied to the evaluation of internal deposition or radioactivity, the term " dose," as used here, includes the prospective dose component arising from retention in the body beyond the period of environmental exposure, i.e., the dose commitment. The dose coumitment is evaluated over a period of 50 years. The dose is measured in mrem to tissue or mrad to air.
Dose Rate - The rate for a specific averaging time (i.e., exposure period) of dose accumulation.
Liould Radwaste Treatment System - The components or subsystems which comprise the available treatment system as shown in Figure B.6-1.

2.0 METHOD TO CALCULATE OFF-SITE LIOUID CONCENTRATIONS Chapter 2 contains the basis for station procedures used to demonstrate compliance with Technical Specification 3.11.1.1, which limits the total fraction of MPC in liquid pathways, other than noble gases (denoted here as FjENG) at the point of discharge from the station to the environment (see Figure B.6-1).

The ' batch releases are normally made from two- 25,000-gallon capacity waste test tanks. These tanks normally hold liquid waste evaporator distillate. The waste test tanks can also contain other waste such as. liquid taken directly from the floor drain tanks.when that liquid does not' require processing in the evaporator, distillate from the boron recovery evaporator when the BR$ evaporator is substituting for the waste evaporator, and distillate from the Steam Generator Blowdown System evaporators and flash steam condensers when that system must discharge liquid off-site.
If testing indicates that purification of the waste test tank contents is required prior to release. the liquid can be circulated through the waste demineralizer and filter.

2.2.3 Steam Generator Blowdown Flash Tank j The steam generator blowddwn evaporators normally proc'ess the liquid-

from the steam' generator blowdown flash tank when there is primary to secondary leakage. Distillate from the evaporators can be sent to the waste-I test tanks or recycled to the condensate system. When there is no primary to secondary leakage, flash tank liquid is processed through the steam generator blowdown demineralizers and returned to the secondary side.
Steam generator blowdown is only subject to' sampling and analysis when i all or part of the blowdown liquid is being discharged to the environment instead of the normal recycling process (see Table A.3-1).
2.2.4 Primary Component Coolinc Water (PCCW) System The PCCW System is used to cool selected primary components. .

3.0 0FF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION METHODS' Chapter 3 provides the basis for station procedures required to meet the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications- (RETS) dose and' dose rate requirements contained in Section 3/4.11 of the station operating Technical
-Specifications. A simple, conservative method (called Method I) is listed in Tables B.1-2 to B.1-7 for each of.the requirements of the RETS. 'Each of the Method I equations is presented in Sections 3.2 through 3.9. .In addition, those sections include more sophisticated methods (called Method II) for use l when more refined results are needed. This chapter provides the methods, data, and reference material with which the operator can calculate the needed l
^
doses, dose rates and setpoints. For the requirements to demonstrate l compliance with Technical Specification off-site dose limits, the contribution j from all measured ground level releases must be.added to the calculated . j contribution from the vent stack to determine the Station's' total radiological ,
impact. The bases for the dose and dose rate equations are given in. I I
Chapter 7.0.
- The Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, to be. filed after 'l January 1 each year per Technical Specification 6.8.1.4, requires that-meteorological conditions concurrent with the time of release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents, as determined by sampling frequency and j measurement, be used for determining the gaseous pathway doses. For ,
continuous release sources (i.e., plant vent, condenser air removal exhaust, and gland steam packing exhauster), concurrent qui.(erly' average meteorology will be used in the dose calculations along with the quarterly total radioactivity released. For batch releases or identifiable operational, ,
activities (i.e., containment purge or venting to atmosphere of the Waste Gas !
System), concurrent meteorology during the period of release will be used to determine dose if the total noble gas or iodine and particulates released in ;
the batch exceeds five percent of the total quarterly radioactivity released 4 from the unit: otherwise quarterly average meteorology will be applied.
Quarterly average meteorology will also be applied to batch releases if the hourly met data for the period of batch release is unavailable.
a-Dose assessment reports prepared in accordance with the requirements of the ODCM will include a statement indicating that the appropriate portions of Regulatory Guide 1.109 (as identified in the individual subsections of the ODCM for each class of effluent exposure) have been used to determine dose impact from station releases.

3.1 Introductory Concents In part, the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS) limit dose or dose rate. The term " dose" for ingested or inhaled radioactivity means the dose commitment, measured in eres, which results from the exposure to radioactive materials that, because of uptake and deposition in the body, will continue to expose the body to radiation for some-period of time after.
the source of radioactivity is stopped. The time frame over which the dose commitment is evaluated is 50 years. The phrases " annual dose" or dose in one year" then refers to the 50 year dose commitment resulting from exposure to one year's worth of releases. " Dose in a quarter" similarly means the 50-year dose commitment resulting from exposure to one quarter's releases. The term
" dose," with respect to external exposures, such as to noble gas clouds, refers only to the doses received during the actual time period of exposure to the radioactivity released from the plant. Once the source of the radioactivity is removed, there is no longer any additional accumulation to the dose commitment.
" Dose rate" is the total dose or dose commitment divided by exposure period. For example, an individual who is exposed via the ingestion of milk for one year to radioactivity from plant gaseous effluents and receives a 50-year dose commitment of 10 arem is said to have been exposed to a dose rate of 10 mrem / year, even though the actual dose received in the year of exposure may be less than 10 mrem.
In addition to limits on dose commitment, gaseous effluents from the station are also controlled so that the maximum or peak dose rates at the site boundary at any time are limited to the equivalent annual dose limits of
~
10CFR, Part 20 to unrestricted areas (if it were assumed that the peak dose rates continued for one year). These dose rate limits provide reasonable assurance that members of the public, either inside or outside the site boundary, will not be exposed to annual averaged concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table II of 10CFR, Part 20 (10CFR20.106(a)).
The quantities AD and 0 are introduced to provide calculable quantities, related to off-site doses or dose rates that demonstrate compliance with the RETS.
Delta D, denoted AD, is the quantity calculated by the Chapter 3, Method I dose equations. It represents the conservative increment in dose.
The AD calculated by Method I equations is not necessarily the actual dose l
ames B.3-3 ODCM Rev. 12
received by a real individual, but usually provides an upper bound for a given release because of the conservative margin built into the dose factors and the selection and definition of critical receptors. The radionuclide specific dose factors in each Method I dose equation represent the greatest dose to any l organ of any age group. (Organ dose is a function of age because organ mass and intake are functions of age.) The critical receptor assumed by ' Method I" equations is then generally a hypothetical individual whose behavior - in terms of location and intake - results in a dose which is higher than any real I individual is likely to receive. Method 11 allows for a more exact dose )
calculation for eact individual if necessary, j l
D dot, denoted 6, is the quantity calculated in the Chapter 3 dose rate equations. It is calculated using the station's effluent monitoring system reading and an annual or long-term average atmospheric dispersion factor. 0 l
predicts the maximum off-site annual dose if the peak observed radioactivity '
release rate from the plant stack continued for one entire year. Since peak release rates, or resulting dose rates, are usually of short time duration on the order of an hour or less, this approach then provides assurance that 10CFR20.106 limits will be met.
Each of the methods to calculate dose or dose rate are presented in the following subsections and are summarized in Chapter 1. Each dose type has two levels of complexity. Method I is the simplest and contains many conservative factors. Method II is a more realistic analysis which makes use of the models in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Revision 1), as noted in each subsection of Chapter 3 for the various exposure types. A detailed description of the methodology, assumptions, and input parameters to the dose models that are applied in each Method 11 calculation, if not already explicitly described in the ODCM, shall be docuanted and provided when this option is used for NRC reporting and Technical Specification dose compliance.

3.2 Method to Calculate the Total Body Dose from Liouid Releases ,
- Technical Specification 3.11.1.2 limits the total body dose commiteent ,
to a member of the public from radioactive material in liquid effluents .to 1.5 mrem per quarter and 3 arem per year per unit. Technical Specification 3.11.1.3 requires liquid radwaste treatment when the total body dose est.imate ex: . is 0.06 area in any 31-day period. Technical i Specification 3.11.4 limits the total body dose commitment to any real member of the public from all station sources (including liquids) to 25 mrem in a year.
Use Method I first to calculate the maximum total body dose from a liquid release from the station as it is simpler to execute and more conservative than Method II.
Use Method II if a more refined calculation of total body dose is needed, i.e.. Method I indicates the dose might be greater than the Technical Specification limits. ,
To evaluate the total body dose, use Equation 3.1 to estimate the dose from the planned release and add this to the total body dose accumulated from prior releases du.*ing the month. See Section 7.1.1 for basis.

Equation 3-1 can be applied under the following conditions (otherwise, justify Method I or consider Method II):

Technical Specification 3.11.1.3 requires liquid radwaste treatment when the maximum organ dose projected exceeds 0.2 mres in any 31 days (see Subsection 3.11 for dose projections). Technical Specification 3.11.4 limits the maximum organ dose commitment to any'real member of the public from all station sources (including liquids) to 25 area in a year except for the thyroid - which is limited to 75 arem in a year.

3.4 Mythod to Calculate the Total Body Dose Rate From Noble Gases Technical Specification 3.11.2.1 limits the dose rate at any time to the total body from noble gases at any location at or beyond the site boundary to 500 mrem / year. The Technical Specification indirectly limits peak release rates by limiting the dose rate that is predicted from continued release at the peak rate. By limiting O tb to a rate equivalent to no more than 500 mrem / year, we assure that the total body dose accrued in any one year by any member of the general public is less than 500 mrem.
Use Method I first to calculate the Total Body Dose Rate from the peak l release rate via the station vents or ground level effluent release points.
Method I applies at all release rates.
Use Method II if a more refined calculation of Ogg is desired by the station (i.e., use of actual release point parameters with annual or actual meteorology to obtain release-specific X/Os) or if Method I predicts a dose rate greater than the Technical' Specification limit to determine if it had actually been exceeded during a short time interval. See Section 7.2.1 for basis.
Compliance with the dose rate limits for noble gases are continuously demonstrated when effluent release rates are below the plant vent noble gas activity monitor alarm setpoint by virtue of the fact that the alarm setpoint is based on a value which corresponds to the off-site dcse rate limit, or a value below it. Determinations of dose rate for compliance with Technical Specifications are performed when the effluent monitor alarm setpoint is exceeded, or as required by the Action Statement (Technical Specification 3.3.3.10, Table 3.3-10) when the monitor is inoperable. )

3.5 Method to Calculate the Skin Dose Rate from Noble Gases Technical Specification 3.11.2.1 limits the dose rate at any time to the skin from noble gases at any location at or beyond the site boundary to 3,000 mrem / year. The Technical Specification indirectly limits peak release rates by limiting the dose rate that is predicted from continued release at the peak rate. By limiting Osun to a rate equivalent to no more than 3,000 mrem / year, we assure that the skin dose accrued in any one year by any member of the general public is less than 3,000 mrem. Since it can be expected that the peak release rate on which Osun is derived would not be exceeded without corrective action being taken to lower it, the resultant average release rate over the year is expected to be considerably less than i the peak release rate.
Use Method I first to calculate the Skin Dose Rate from peak release rate via station vents. Method I applies at all release rates.
l Use Method II if a more refined calculation of'6,un is desired by the ;
station (i.e., use of actual release point parameters with annual or actual meteorology to obtain release-specific X/Os) or if Method I predicts a dose rate greater than the Technical Specification limit to determine if it had actually been exceeded during a short time interval. See Section 7.2.2 for basis.
Compliance with the dose rate limits for noble gases are continuously demonstrated when effluent release rates are below the plant vent noble gas activity monitor alarm setpoint by virtue of the fact that the alarm setpoint is based on a value which corresponds to the off-site dose rate limit, or a value below it. Determinations of dose rate for compliance with Technical Specifications are performed when the effluent monitor alarm setpoint is exceeded.

year (except the thyroid, which is limited to 75 mrem). It should be noted that since there are no uranium fuel cycle facilities within 5 miles of the station, only station sources need be considered for determining compliance with Technical Specification 3.11.4.
3.10.1 Method The direct dose from the station will be determined by obtaining the dose from TLD locations situated on site near potential sources of direct radiation, as well as those TLDs near the site boundary which are part of the >
environmental monitoring program, and subtracting out the dose contribution from background. Additional methods to calculate the direct dose may also be used to supplement the TLD information. such as high pressure ion chamber measurements, or analytical desi'gn calculations of direct dose from identified sources (such as solid waste storage facilities).
The dose determined from direct measurements or calculations will be related to the nearest real person off-site. as well as those individuals on site involved in activities at either the Education Center or the Rocks boat landing, to assess the contribution of direct radiation to the total dose limits of Technical Specification 3.11.4 in conjunction with liquid and gaseous effluents.

3.11 Dose Projections Technical Specifications 3.11.1.3 and 3.11.2.4 require that appropriate portions of liquid 'and gaseous radwaste treatment systems, respectively, be used to reduce raoioactive effluents when it is projected that the resulting dose (s) would exceed limits which represent small fractions of the "as low as reasonably achievable" criteria of Appendix I to 10CFR Part 50. The surveillance requirements of these Technical Specifications state that dose projections be performed at least once per 31 days when the liquid radwaste treatment systems or gaseous radwaste treatment systems are not being fully utilized.
Since dose assessments are routinely performed at least once per 31 days to account for actual releases, the projected doses shall be determined by comparing the calculated dose from the last (typical of expected operations) completed 31-day period to the appropriate dose limit for use of radwaste equipment, adjusted if appropriate for known or expected differences between past operational parameters and those anticipated for the next 31 days.
3.11.1 Liouid Dose Proiections The 31-day liquid dose projections are calculated by the following:
Determine the total body Dtb and organ dose D (Equations 3-1 and (a) l 3-2, respectively) for the last typical completed 31-day period.
The last typical 31-day period should be one without significant
,' dentified i operational differences from the period being projected to, such as full power operation vs. periods when the plant is l
shut down.
(b) Calculate the ratio (R g) of the total estimated volume of batch releases expected to be released for the projected pe'iod r to that actually released in the reference period.
Calculate the ratio (R 2) of the estimated gross primary coolant f (c) '
activity for the projected period to the average value in the reference period. Use the most recent value of primary coolant activity as the projected value if no trend in decreasing or increasing levels can be determined, B.3-35 ODCM Rev. 14 unu

(a) Determine the gamma air dose D ir (Equation 3-6a), and the beta-air dose Dfir(Equation 3-7a) from the last typical 31 day operating period.
(b) Calculate the ratio (R 3) of anticipated number of curies of noble gas to be released from the hydrogen surge tank to the atmosphere over the next 31-days to the number of curies released in the l reference period on which the gamma and beta air doses are based. ;

4.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM The radiological environmental monitoring stations are listed in Table B.4-1.
The locations of the stations with respect to the Seabrook Station are shown on the maps in Figures B.4-1 to B.4-6. )
I Direct radiation measurements are analyzed at the station. All other j radiological analyses for environmental samples are performed at the Yankee l Environmental Laboratory. The Laboratory participates in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory Intercomparison Studies Program for all the species and matrices routinely analyzed.
Pursuant to specification 4.12.2, the land use census will be conducted 'during the srtwing season
- at least once per 12 months. The growing season is defined, for the purposes of the land use census, as the period from June 1 to October 1. I The method to be used for conducting the census will consist of one or more of the following, as appropriates door-to-door survey, visual inspection from roadside, aerial survey, or consulting with local agricultural authorities.
Technical Specification 6.8.1.3 requires that the results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program be sununarized in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report 'in the format of the table l's the Radiological Assessment Branch Tcchnical Position, Revision 1, 1979.' The general table forinat will be used with one exception and one clarification, as follows. The mean and range values will be based not upon detectable measurements only, as specified in the NRC Branch Technical Position, but upon all measurements. This will prevent the positive bias associated with the calculation of the mean and range based upon detectable measurements only. Secondly, the Lower Limit of Detection column will specify the LLD required by ODCM Table A.5-2 for that radionuclide and sample medium.

(c) Samples will be collected pursuant to CDCM Table A.5-1. Samples are not !
required from all stations listed'during any sampling interval (FH = Fish; HA = Lobsters: MU = Muscles). Table A.5-1 specifies that "one sample of three commercially and recreationally important species' be collected'in the vicinity '
of the plant discharge area, with similar species being collected at a control location. (This wording is consistent with the NRC Final Environmental' Statement for Seabrook Station.) Since the discharge area is off-shore, there is a great number of fish species that could be considered commercially or recreationally important. Some are migratory (such as striped bass), making.
them less desirable as an indicator oJ plant-related radioactivity. Some pelagic species (such as herring and mackerel) tend to school and wander _
)
throughout a large area, sometimes making catches of significant size difficult to obtain. Since the collection of all species would be difficult or l impossible, and would provide unnecessary redundancy in terms of monitoring important pathways to man, three fish and invertebrate species have been specified as a minimum requirement. Samples may include marine fauna such as lobsters, class, mussels, and bottom-dwelling fish, such as flounder or hake.
Several similar species may be grouped together into one sample if sufficient sample mass for a single species is not available after a reasonable effort has been made (e.g., yellowtail flounder and winter flounder).

i 5.1 Llauld Effluent Instrumentation Setpoints Technical Specification 3.3.3.9 requires that the radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation in Table 3.3-12 of the Technical Specifications have alarm setpoints in order to ensure that Technical Specification 3.11.1.1 is not exceeded. Technical Specification 3.11.1.1 limits the activity concentration in liquid effluents to the appropriate MPCs in 10CFR20 and a total noble gas MPC.
5.1.1 Llauid Waste Test Tank Monitor (RM-6509)
The liquid waste test tank effluent monitor provides alarm and automatic termination of release prior to exceeding the concentration limits specified in 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2 to the environment. It is also used to monitor discharges from various waste sumps to the environment.
5.1.1.1 Method to Determine the Setpoint of the Liould Waste Test Tank Monitor (RM-6509)
The instrument response (pC1/ml) for the limiting concentration at the point of discharge is the setpoint, denoted Rsetpoint, and is determined as follows:

5.1.2 Turbine Building Drains Licuid Effluent Monitor (RM-6521)
The Turbine Building drains liquid effluent monitor continuously monitors the Turbine Building sump effluent line. The only sources to the Sump Effluent System are from the secondary steam system. Activity is expected in the Turbine Building Sump Effluent System only if a significant primary-to-secondary leak is present. If a primary-to-secondary leak is present, the activity in the sump effluent system would be comprised of only ,
those radionuclides found in the secondary system, with reduced activity from decay and dilution.
The Turbine Building drains 11guld effluent monitor provides alarm and automatic termination of release prior to exceeding the concentration limits specified in 10CFR20, Appendix 8. Table II, Column 2 to the environment. The alarm setpoint for this monitor will be determined using the same method as " ~
that of the liquid waste test tank monitor if the total sump activity is 8.5-5 l 8686R 00CH Rev.10
I l
greater than 10 percent of MPC, as determined by the most recent grab sample isotopic analysis. If the total activity is less than 10 percent of MPC, the j I
setpoints of RM-6521 are, calculated as follows:

Setpoint (pC1/ml) - f2 (DF') (1.0E-07 pC1/ml)

f2 =I- (f1+f 3 + f 4); where the f values i are described above. ,
In addition, a warning alarm setpoint can be determined by multiplying the high trip alarm point by an administratively selected fraction (as an example,.
0.25).

The steam generator blowdown liquid sample monitor is used to detect ,
abnormal activity concentrations in the steam generator blowdown flash tank liquid discharge.
The alarm setpoint for the steam generator blowdown liquid sample monitor, when liquid is to be discharged from the site, will be determined 3 using the same approach as the Turbine Building drains liquid effluent monitor.
For any liquid monitor, in the event that no activity is expected to be discharged, or can be measured in the system, the liquid monitor setpoint - -
should be based on the most restrictive MPC for an " unidentified" mixture given in 10CFR20, Appendix B notes.

5.1.4 PCCW Head Tank Rate-of-Change Alarm Setpoint A rate-of-change alarm on the liquid level'in the Primary Component Cooling Water (PCCW) head tank will work in conjunction with the PCCW radiation monitor to alert the operator in the Main Control Room of a leak to l the Service Water System from the PCCW System. For the rate-of-change alarm, a setpoint .is selected based on detection of an activity level equivalent to 10-0 pCi/mi in the discharge of the Service Water System. The activity in the PCCW is determined in accordance with the liquid sampling and analysis program described in Part A, Table A.3-1 of the ODCH and is used to determine the setpoint. -
The rate-of-change alarm setpoint is calculated from:
(5-23)
RC set - 1x10~0SWF PCC 1
(hrN ) = (m$
l ) (N) hr (*Cl) p where: -
RC - The setpoint for the PCCW head tank rate-of-change set alarm (in gallons per hour).
lx10-8 - The minimum detectable activity level in the Service l Water System due to a PCCW to SWS leak (pCi/ml).
SWF = Service Water System flow rate (in gallons per hour).
PCC - Primary Component Cooling Water measured (decay corrected) gross radioactivity level (pC1/ml).
As an example, assume a PCCW activity concentration of 1x10-5 pC1/mi . _
with a service water flow rate of only 80 percent of the normal flow of 21,000 gpm. The rate-of-change setpoint is then:

- 7.0 -BASES FOR DOSE CALCULATION METHODS
~ 7.1 Liould Release Dose Calculations ,
This section serves: (1) to document the development and conservative. ;
nature of Method I equations to provide background information to Method I j users, and (2) to identify the general equations, parameters and approaches to Method II-type dose assessments.
Method I may be used to show that the Technical Specifications which .l limit off-site total body dose from liquids (3.11.1.2 and 3.11.1.3) have been met for releases over the appropriate periods. The quarterly and annual dose limits in Technical Specification 3.11.1.2 are based on the ALARA design objectives in 10CFR50, Appendly I Subsection II A. The minimum dose values noted in Technical Specification 3.11.1.3 are " appropriate fractions," as j
- determined by the NRC, of the design objective to ensure that radwaste equipment is used as required to keep off-site doses ALARA.
6 Method I was developed such that "the actual exposure of an "
individual ... is unlikely to be substantially underestimated" (10CFR50, Appendix I). The definition, below, of.a single " critical receptor * (a hypothetical or real individual whose behavior results in a maximum potential ;
dose) provides part of the conservative margin to'the calculation of total body dose in Method I. Method II allows that actual. individuals, associated j with identifiable exposure pathways, be taken into account for any given j release. In fact. Method I was based on a Method II analysis for a critical receptor a'ssuming all principal pathways present instead of any real i individual. That analysis was called the " base case:* it was then reduced to form Method I. The general equations used in the base case analysis are also used as the starting point in Method II evaluations. The base case, the.
method of reduction, and the assumptions and data used are presented below.
l The steps performed in the Method I derivation follow. First, the dose impact to the critical receptor (in the form of dose factors DFLith (mres/pC1)] for a unit activity release of each radioisotope in liquid I effluents was derived. The base case analysis uses the general equations, methods, data and assumptions in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Equations A-3-and A 7, Reference A). The liquid pathways contributing to an individual dose are due to consumption of fish and invertebrates. shoreline activities, and swimming and boating near the discharge point. A normal operating plant-discharge flow rate of 918 ft 3/sec was used with a mixing ratio of 0.10. The mnu B.7 1 ODCM Rev. 12 1

l l
mixing ratio of 0.10 corresponds to the minimum expected prompt dilution or near-field mixing zone created at the ocean surf ace directly above the multiport diffusers. (Credit for additional dilution to the outer edge of the prompt mixing zone which corresponds to the 1*F surface isotherm (mixing ratio
.025) can be applied in the Method 11 calculation for shoreline exposures only since the edge of this isotherm typically does not reach the shoreline receptor points during the tidal cycle. The mixing ratio for equatic food pathways in Method II assessments shall be limited to the same value (0.10) as applied in Method I for near-field mixing, or prompt dilution only.
The requirements for the determination of radiological impacts resulting from releases in liquid effluents is derived from 10CFR50. Appendix 1.
Section Ill.A.2 of Appendix ! indicates that in making the assessment of doses to hypothetical receptors. "The Applicant may take account of any real phenomenon or factors actually affecting the estimate of radiation exposure, including the characteristics of the plant, modes of discharge of radioactive materials, physical processes tending to attenuate the quantity of radioactive material to which an individual would be exposed, and the effects of averaging exposures over time during which determining factors may fluctuate." In accessing the liquid exposure pathways that characterize Seabrook Station, the design and physical location of the Circulating Water Discharge System needs to be considered within the scope of Appendix 1.
i Seabrook utilizes an offshore submerged multiport diffuser discharger for rapid dissipation and mixing of thermal effluents in the ocean environment. The 22-port diffuser section of the Discharge System is located in approximately 50 to 60 feet of water with each nozzle 7 to 10 feet above the sea floor. Water is discharged in a generally eastward direction away
~
from the shoreline through the multiport diffuser, beginning at a location over one mile due east of Hampton Harbor inlet. This arrangement effectively prevents the discharge plume (at least to the 1 Ngree or 40 to 1 dilution isopleth) from impacting the shoreline over the tidal cycle.
Eleven riser shafts with two diffuser nozzles each form the diffuser and are spaced about 100 feet apart over a distance of about 1.000 feet. The diffusers are designed to maintain a high exit velocity of about 7.5 feet per second during power operations. Each nozzle is angled approximately 20 degrees up from the horizontal plane to prevent bottom scour. These high velocity jets passively entrain about ten volumes of fresh ocean water into the near field jet mixing region before the plume reaches the water surface.
This factor of 10 mixing occurs in a very narrow zone of less than 300 feet B.7-2 ODCM Rev. 12 unir
from the diffuser by the time the thermally buoyant plume reaches the ocean surface. This high rate of dilution occurs within about 70 seconds of discharge from the diffuser nozzles.
The design of the multiport diffuser to achieve a 10 to 1 dilution in the near field jet plume and a 40 to 1 dilution in the near mixing zone associated with the 1 degree isotherm, has been verified by physical model tests (reference " Hydrothermal Studies of Bifurcated Diffuser Nozzles and Thermal Backwashing - Seabrook Station," Alden Research Laboratories.
July 1977).
During shutdown periods, when the plant only requires service water cooling flow, the high velocity jet mixing created by the normal circulating water flow at the diffuser nozzles is reduced. However, mixing within the discharge tunnel water volume is significantly increased (factor of about 5) due to the long transit time (approximately 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br />) for batch waste discharged from the plant to travel the three miles through the 19-foot diameter tunnels to the diffuser nozzles. Additional mixing of the thermally buoyant effluent in the near field mixing zone assures that an equivalent overall 10 to 1 dilution occurs by the time the plume reaches the ocean surface.
The dose assessment models utilized in the ODCM are taken from NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109. The liquid pathway equations include a parameter (M,)
to account for the mixing ratio (reciprocal of the dilution factor) of effluents in the environment at the point of exposure. Table 1. in Regulatory Guide 1.109, defines the point of exposure to be the location that is
~
anticipated to be occupied during plant lifetime, or have potential land and water usage and food pathways as could actually exist during the term of plant operation. For Seabrook. the potable water and land irrigation pathways do not exist since saltwater is used as the receiving water body for the circulating water discharge. The three pathways that have been factored into the assessment models are shoreline exposures, ingestion of invertebrates, and fish ingestion.
With respect to shoreline exposures, both the mixing ratios of 0.1 and 0.025 are extremely conservative since the effluent plume which is discharged over one mile offshore never reaches the beach where this type of exposure could occur. Similarly, bottom dwelling invertebrates. either taken from mud flats near the shoreline or from the area of diffuser are not exposed to the undiluted effluent plume. The shore area is beyond the reach of the surface otur B.7-3 ODCM Rev. 12
plume of the discharge, and the design of the upward directed discharge nozzles along with the thermal buoyancy of the effluent, force the plume to j quickly rise to the surface without affecting bottom organisms.
Consequentially, the only assumed exposure pathway which might be impacted by the near field plume of the circulating water discharge is finfish. However, the mixing ratio of 0.1 is very conservative because fish will avoid both the high exit velocity provided by the discharge nozzles and the high thermal temperature difference between the water discharged from the diffuser and the ambient water temperature in the near field. In addition, the dilution factor of 10 is achieved within 70 seconds of discharge and confined to a very small area thus prohibiting any significant quantity of fish from reaching equilibrium conditions with radioactivity concentrations )
created in the water environment. l The mixing ratio of 0.025, which corresponds to the 1 degree thermal near field mixing zone, is a more realistic assessment of the dilution to which finfish might be exposed. However, even this dilution credit is conservative since it neglects the plant's operational design which discharges radioactivity by batch mode. Batch discharges are on the order of only a few hours in duration several times per week and, thus, the maximum discharge concentrations are not maintained in the environment long enough to allow fish ,
to reach equilibrium uptake concentrations as assumed in the dose assessment f modeling. Not withstanding the above expected dilution credit afforded at the i 1 degree isotherm, all Method II aquatic food pathway dose calculations shall conservatively assume credit for prompt dilution only with an M, = 0.10. When dose impacts from the fish and invertebrate pathways are then added to the conservative dose impacts derived for shoreline exposures, the total calculated dose is very unlikely to have underestimated the exposure to any real individual.
The recommended value for dilution of 1.0 given in NUREG 0133 is a simplistic assumption provided so that a single model could be used with any plant design and physical discharge arrangement. For plants that utilize a f surface canal-type discharge structure where little entrainment mixing in the I environment occurs, a dilution f actor of 1.0 is a reasonable assumption.
However, in keeping with the guidance provided in Appendix 1 to 10CFR50.
Seabrook has determine site-specific mixing ratics which factor in its plant design.

' dose rate assessments. The methods to calculate skin dose rate parallel the total body dose rate methods in Section 7.2.1. Only the differences are presented here.
Method I may be used to show that the Technical Specification which limits skin dose rate from noble gases released to the atmosphere (Technical Specification 3.11.2.1) has been met for the peak noble gas release rate.
The annual skin dose limit is 3.000 mrem (from NBS Handbook 69.
Reference D. pages 5 and 6 is 30 rem /10). The factor of 10 reduction is to account for nonoccupational dose limits. ;
It is the skin dose commitment to the critical, or most limiting, off-site receptor assuming long-term site average meteorology and that the release rate reading remains constant over the entire year.

7.2.3 Critical Oroan Dose Rate From Iodines Tritium and Particulates With Half-lives Greater Than Eicht Days l 1
This section serves: (1) to document the development of the Method I-equation, (2) to provide background information to Method I users, and (3).to I identify the general equation's parameters and approached to Method II type dose rate assessments. The methods to calculate skin dose rate parallel the total body dose rate methods in Section 7.2.1.
Method I may be used to show that the Technical Specification which limits orgfn dose rate from iodines, tritium and radionuclides in particulate form with half lives greater than 8 days released to the atmosphere (Technical Specification 3.11.2.1) has been met for the peak above-mentioned release rates. The annual organ dose limit is 1500 mrem (from NBS Handbook 69.
Reference 0, pages 5 and 6). It is evaluated by looking at the critical organ dose commitment to the most limiting off-site receptor assuming long-term site average meteorology.

The selection of critical receptor, outlined in.Section 7.3 is inherent in Method I, as are the expected atmospheric dispersion factors.
In accordance with the Basis Statement 3/4.11.2.1 in NUREG-0472, and the base's section for the organ dose rate limit given for Technical Specification 3.11.2.1, a Method II dose rate calculation, for compliance purposes, can be based on restricting the inhalation pathway-to a child's thyroid to less than or equal to 1,500 mrem /yr. Concurrent meteorology with time of release may also be used to assess compliance for a Method II calculation.
7.2.4 Gamma Dose to Air From Noble Gases This section serves: (1) to document the development and conservative nature of Method I equations to provide background information to Method I users, and (2) to identify the general equations, parameters and approaches to Method II-type dose assessments.
Method I may be used to show that the Technical Specification 3.11.2.2 which limits off-site gamma air dose from gaseous effluents has been met for releases over appropriate periods. This Technical Specification is based on the objecti,ye in 10CFR50. Appendix I, Subsection 8.1, which limits the estimated gamma air dose in off-site unrestricted areas.
NUREG/CR-2919 presents a methodology for determining atmospheric dispersion factors (CHI /O values) for intermittent releases at user. specified receptor locations (intermittent releases being defined as releases with durations between 1 and 8.760 hours0.0088 days <br />0.211 hours <br />0.00126 weeks <br />2.8918e-4 months <br />). The CHI /O values for intermittent releases are determined by linearly interpolating (on a log log basis) between an hourly 15-percentile CHI /O value and an annual average CHI /O value as a function of release duration. This methodology has been adopted to produce a set of time dependent atmospheric dispersion factors for Method I calculations.
For any noble gas release, in any period, the increment in dose is taken from Equations B-4 and B-5 of Regulatory Guide 1.109 with the added assumption that D}inite - DY [X/0]Y/[X/0):

l Incorporating a unitiess release duration adjustment term t** (where "a" l is a constant and "t" is the total release duration in hours), and the conversion factor for Ci to pCi (to accommodate the use of a release rate 0 in pC1), and substituting the 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> gamma atmospheric dispersion f actor in place of the annual average gamma atmospheric dispersion factor in Equation 7-14 leads to:

Method I may be used to show that the Technical Specifications which limit off-site organ dose from gases (3.11.2.3 and 3.11.4) have been met for releases over the appropriate periods. Technical Specification 3.11.2.3 is .
based on the ALARA objectives in 10CFR50. Appendix 1. Subsection'II C.
Technical Specification 3.11.4 is based on Environmental Standards for Uranium Fuel Cycle in 40CFR190, which applies to direct radiation as well as liquid and gaseous effluents. These methods apply only to iodine. tritium, and particulates in gaseous effluent contribution.
Method I was developed such that "the actbst exposure of an individual ... is unlikely to be substantially underestimated" (10CFR50.
Appendix I). The use below of a single " critical receptor" provides part of the conservative margin to the calculation of critical organ dose in Method I.
Method II allows that actual individuals, associated with identifiable exposure pathways be taken into account for any given release. In fact.
Method I was based on a Method II analysis of a critical receptor assuming all )
pathways present. That analysis was called the " base case"; it was then I reduced to form Method I. The base case, the method of reduction, and the assumptions and data used are presented below.

The steps performed in the Method I derivation follow. First, the dose ,
impact to the critical receptor [in the form of dose factors DFG je, (mres/ Cl)] for a unit activity release of each iodine, tritium, and '
particulate radionuclide with half lives greater than eight days to gaseous effluents was derived. Six exposure pathways (ground plane, inhalation, stored vegetables, leafy vegetables, milk, and meat ingestion) were assumed to (
exist at the site boundary (not over water or marsh areas) which exhibited the f highest long-term X/0. Doses were then calculated to six organs (bone, liver, f kidney, lung, GI-LLI, and thyroid), as well as for the whole body and skin for {
four age groups (adult, teenager, child, and infant) due to the seven combined exposure pathways. For each radionuclide, the highest dose per unit activity release for any organ (or whole body) and age group was then selected to become the Method I sita-specific dose factors. The base case, or Method I analysis, uses the general equations methods, data, and assumptions in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Equation C-2 for doses resulting from direct exposure

Tables B.7 2 and B.7-3 outline human consumption and environmental parameters used in the analysis, it is conservatively assumed that the critical receptor lives at the "Itaximum off site atmospheric dispersion f actor location" as defined in Section 7.3.
' The resulting site-specific dose factors are for the maximum organ which combine the limiting age group with the highest dose factor for any organ with each nuclide. These critical organ, critical age dose f actors are given in Table B.1-12. Appendix A provides an example of the development of Method I gaseous dose conversion f actor for site specific conditions at Seabrook.
For any iodine, tritium, and particulate gas release, during any period, the increment in dose from radionuclide "i' is:
ADie, - 0,0FGico (7-16) 1 where DFG,,, is the critical dose factor for radionuclide "i" and 0, is the

Section 7.3.1 details the selection of important off-site and on-site locations and receptors. Section 7.3.2 describes the atmospheric model used to convert meteorological data into atmospheric dispersion factors. ~ Section 7.3.3 presents the maximum atmospheric dispersion factors calculated at each of the off-site receptor locations. 7.3.1 Rece5 tor locations The most limiting site boundary location in which individuals are. or likely to be located as a place of. residence was assumed to be the receptor for all the gaseous pathways considered. This provides a conservative estimate of the dose to an individual from existing and potential gaseous pathways for the Method I analysis. This point is the west sector. 974 meters from the center of the reactor units for undepleted, depleted, and gamma X/0 calculations, and the northwest section, 914 meters for calculations with D/0 the dispersion parameter. The site boundary in the NME through SE sectors is located over tidal ) marsh (e.g.. over water), and consequently are not used as locations for I determining maximum off-site receptors (Reference NUREG 0133). amar B.7-35 ODCM Rev. 14 l 1
Two other locations (on-site) were analyzed for direct ground plane exposure and inhalation only. They are the " Rocks" (recreational site) and the Education Center shown on Figure 5.1-1 of the Technical Specifications. 7.3.2 Seabrook Station Atmosoheric DisDersion Model The time average atmospheric dispersion factors for use in both Method I and Method 11 are computed for routine releases using the AE0LUS-2 Computer Code (Reference B). AEOLUS-2 produces the following average atmospheric dispersion factors for each location:
- 1. Undepleted X/0 dispersion factors for evaluating ground level concentrations of noble gases:
- 2. Depleted X/0 dispersion factors for evaluating ground level concentrations of iodines and particulates:
- 3. Gamma X/0 dispersion factors for evaluating gamma dose rates from a sector averaged finite noble Jas cloud (multiple energy undepleted source); and
- 4. D/0 deposition factors for evaluating dry deposition of elemental I
radiciodines and other particulates. Gamma dose rate is calculated throughout this ODCM using the finite cloud model presented in " Meteorology and Atomic Energy - 1968" (Reference E. I Section 7-5.2.5. That model is implemented through the definition of an l effective gamma atmospheric dispersion factor [X/07) (Reference B. l Section 6), and the replacement of X/0 in infinite cloud dose equations by the l [X/07). 7.3.3 Average Atmosoheric Dispersion Factors for ReceDtors The calculation of Method I and Method II atmospheric diffusion factors (undepleted CHI /0. depleted CHI /0. D/0. and gamma CHI /O values) utilize a methodology generally consistent with US NRC Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Revision 1) criteria and the methodology for calculating routine release diffusion factors as represented by the XOOD00 computer code (NUREG/CR-2919). The primary vent stack is treated as a " mixed-mode" release. as defined in Regulatory Guide 1.111. Effluents are considered to be part-time ground amar B.7-36 ODCM Rev.14
l level /part-time elevated releases depending on the ratio of the primary vent i stack effluent exist velocity relative to the speed of the prevailing wind. All other release points (e.g. Turbine Building and Chemistry lab hoods) are. considered ground-level releases. In addition. Regulatory Guide 1.111 discusses the concept that constant mean wind direction models like AEOLUS-2 do not describe spatial and temporal variations in airflow such as the recirculation of airflow which can occur during prolonged' periods of atmospheric stagnation. For sites near large bodies of water like Seabrook, the onset and decay of sea breezes can also results in airflow reversals and curved trajectories. Consequently. Regulatory Guide 1.111 states that adjustments to constant mean wind direction model outputs may be necessary to account for such spatial and temporal variations in air flow trajectories. Recirculation correction factors have been applied to the diffusion factors. The recirculation correction factors used are compatible to the " default open terrain" recirculation correction factors used by the X00D00 computer code, t The relative deposition rates. D/0 values, were derived using the relative deposition rate curves presented in Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Revision 1). These curves provide estimates of deposition rates as a function of plume height, stability class, and plume travel distance. , i ReceDtor locations For ground-level releases, the downwind location of "The Rocks" (244m NE/ENE) and the Science & Nature Center (406m SW) were taken as the j distance from the nearest point on the Unit 1 Administrative Building / Turbine l I Building complex. For the site boundary, the minimum distances from the nearest point on the Administration Building / Turbine Building complex to the - site boundary within a 45-degree sector centered on the compass direction of interest as measured from UFSAR Figure 2.1-4A were used (with the exception l ) that the NNE-NE-ENE E-ESE-SE site boundary sectors were not evaluated because of their over-water locations). f For primary vent stack releases, the distances from the Unit 1 primary vent stack to "The Rocks" (244m NE) and the Science & Nature Center (488m SW) l as measured from a recent site aerial photograph were used. For the site l boundary, the minimum distances from the Unit 1 primary vent stack to the site ) ( boandary within a 45-degree sector centered on the compass direction of interest as measured from UFSAR Figure 2.1-4A were used (with the exception l l that the B.7 37 ODCM Rev. 15 l
I l l I NNE NE-ENE-E-ESE-SE site boundary sectors were not evaluated because of their j over water locations). Meteorolooical Data Bases l For "The Rocks" and Science & Nature Center receptors, the diffusion factors represent six-year averages during the time period January 1980 through December 1983 and January 1987 through December 1988 (with the exception that, because of low data recovery, April 1979 and May 1979 were substituted for April 1980 and May 1980). For the site boundary receptors, both six-year average growing season (April through September) and year-round (January through December) diffusion factors were generated, with the higher of the two chosen to represent the site boundary. The meteorological diffusion factor used in the development of the ODCM Method I dose models are summarized on Tables B.7-4 through B.7-6. l l I B.7-38 ODCH Rev. 15 l

APPENDIX A Dose Conversion Factors f I. Liquid Pathways - Seabrook Site Specific DCF's The. models used to assess doses resulting from effluents into liquids is derived from Appendix A of Reg. Guide 1.109. Gince Seabrook is a salt water site, the - , assumed pathways of exposure taken from Reg Guide 1.109 are I Aquatic foods - fish; Aquatic foods -invertebrates; and dose from shoreline deposits (direct dose). No drinking.. water or irrigation pathwas exist because of the salt water environment. In ad~ Aon, exposures resulting from boating and swinnning activ.tties have been included for key radionuclides even though Reg. Guide 1.109 identifies these ' pathways as not contributing any significant contribution to the total dose, and therefore does not provida dose equations for them. For completeness, the swinnning and I boating pathways have been includes using the dose models from the HERMES code (HEDL-THE-71-168, Dec.1971) , section G, Water Immersion. The' Method I dose conversion factors are derived by l calculating the dose impact to individuals via the site l specific pathways for a unit activity release (1 curie per l nuclide). For each pathway, doses by radionuclide are calculated for each of the 7 organs (including whole body) for each of the four age groups (adult, teen, child, and < infant). The Method I dose factor for each nuclide is then selected by taking the highest factor for any organ in any of the age groups for all the exposure pathways combined. The list of dose factors in the ODCM then represents a combination of different limiting organs and age groups ' which, when used to calculate a done impact from a mix of radionuclides released in liquid affluents, gives a conservative dose since it combines the exposure to different organs and age groups as if there was a single critical organ-age group. As an example of how the liquid dose conversion factors are developed, the following calculation for Co-60 is shown. The critical organ / age group is selected based on the full assessment of all organs and age groups. Factor for fish Ingestion: The general equation for ingestion doses in RG 1.109 is eq. A-3.

The original ODCM calculation was based on some preliminary dilution assumptions which gave a near field prompt dilution factor for the multiport diffuser of 8. For single unit operation with both service water and circulating water flow (412,000 gra), a value on 10 is more realistic. This surface area of the plume is restricted to a small area over the diffuser and does not touch the shoreline approx. 1 mile away. Since the over all impact from swimming is small when w M to the other exposure pathways, the original conservatism on dilution are kept here. A-5 ODCM Rev. 8 I I

Similarly, the boating dose as given in
.' HERMES is taken as half of the swinuning dose,(and I l A-6 - ODCH Rev. 8 l ,c.,

corrected for change in usage assumptions). The resulting does is'found to be less than the swimming dose and can also therefore be discounted in this case. Total liquid Pathway dose: The sum of the above liquid pathway doses can now be added to give the total navim m individual dose to the critical organ (adult-GI-LLI) for Co-60. This 4 gives: 0.0103 + 0.0245 + 0.0573 = 0.0921 mram/yr Since the internal doses'given by the RG-1.109 , methods actually are 50 yr dosa commitments resulting from one year exposure to the quantity of activity assumed to be released into the water, and the' direct dose represents the dose received for the period assumed to be exposed to the pathway, and the activity release was taken as a unit quantity
' (i.e. @ 1 Ci), the above total liquid pathway dose )
can be stated as site specific committed dose factor in aram/Ci released. For Method I in the ODCM, the critical organ dose factor is seen to be 0.0921 aren/Ci, as shown above. The value reported on Table B.1-11 (9.22 E-08 ares /uci) was generated by a , computational routine which gives rise to the ! round-off difference between it and the above example. The whole body site specific dose factor for the ODCM was calculated in the sano way treating the whole body as a separate organ. e A-7 OM Rn. 8 4 c....- , , - -.
i II. Gaseous Pathways - Seabrook Site Specific DCF's l The models used to' assess doses resulting from gaseous affluents in the form of iodines, tritium, and particulates For Seabrook, are derived from Appendix C of Reg. Guide 1.109. it is assumed that at the off site location which exhibits minimum atmospheric dilution for plant releases the following-exposure pathways exist: inhalation, ground plane, ingestion of goats milk, meat, stored vegetables, and leafy vegetables. The Meth'od I dose and dose rate factors are derived by calculating the dose impact to all age group individuals via the site specific pathways for a unit activity release (1 curie per nuclide). For each pathway, doses by nuclide are calculated for , each of 7 organs ( including the whole body) for each of the 4 age / groups. The Method I dose factor for each nuclide is then selected by taking the highest factor for any organ in any of the age groups for all exposure pathways combined. The list of dose factors in the ODCM then represents a combination of different limiting organs and age groups which, when used to calculate the dose impact from a mix of radionuclides released into the atmosphere, gives a conservative dose since it combines the exposure to different organs and age groups as if they were for all the same critical organ-age group. As an example of how the gaseous particulate dose factors are developed, the following calculation for Mn-54 is shown. The critical organ / age group for Mn-54 was selected gased on a full assessment of all organ and age group combinations. For elevated releases from the plant vent stack to the maximum site boundary (max. dose point due to meteorology), the critical organ and age group for Mn-54 was determined to be the GI-LLI for the adult.

- 4. Typographical corrections in Tables B.1-10, B.1 13, and S.1-15 are made in response to a QA audit '
finding. These adnunistrative changes have no functional impact on the use of the information contained in the tables. However, a typographical error in the exponent for the critical organ dose rate factor for ground level releases was identified for Cs-137 (6.09E+09) on Table B.1-12, and is corrected to the value of 6.09E+03. It was determined the the; error did not impact past calculations and was in the conservative direction if it were to have been applied in estimating dose.
- 5. Table B.4-1 has been updated to reflect recent changes in the location of milk sampling stations listed as part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. This is due to the loss of Station TM-10 (Hampton Falls), and its replacement with a new sampling location, station TM-16 (Kensington). In addition, the location of the TLD site designated TL-30 has been deternuned to be )
on Route 27, and replaces the former location designation of Route 101C, which had been the old roadway route number originally indicated on local maps. Table A.3-1, " Radioactive Liquid Waste Samplirig and Analysis Program" is proposed to be amended ( 6. by stipulating that quarterly activity analyses for Sr-89, Sr-90, and Fe-55 in Turbine Building Sump and Steam Generator Blowdown discharges would only be made when one or more weekly analyses i for principal gamma emitters indicates positive activity. These three nuclides represent a small l fraction of any expected contanunation event, which would be dominated by gamma emitting ) radionuclides. Without the detectable presence of such gamma emitters in waste samples, it is judged I l unreasonable that any of these other radionuclides would be present and detectable above the required LLD's. This change does not impact the ability to project offsite doses since the reduction in the l number of isotopic analyses only is concerned with those composite samples that have no indication of any contamination, and therefore, no contribution to any offsite dose. i I

This revision to the ODCM changes the analysis protocol for certam release points listed in Part A of the ODCM. ~ 4C. Involves tests or exp Ae not described in the UFSAR? NO This change to the ODCM does not change the models or calculations in the ODrM but modifie.. .s requirements for when certam analyses are performed for certam effluent pathways that are not normally considered radioactive. The change does not involve a test or expon.sst not described in the UFSAR. 5.0 OPERATING LICENSE 1 NO ; The Techment Specifications require the ODCM to implement calculation procedures using models j and specified parameters to ensure the acmal exposure to a member of the public through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The ability of the ODCM to successfully i satisfy these requirements is not affected by the changes in Revision 15. The attached table shows the ! I relationship between the principal gamma emmers and the beta emitters both in primary coolant and secondary coolant under the UFSAR assumptions of 0.12% clad defects and a simultaneous 100 lb/ day prunary to secondary leak. Additionally, the capability for the Seabrook Station effluent program to detect the gamma emitters and beta enutters for both liquids and gases. In all cases the data shows that if there are no principal gamma enutters detected in either the Turbine Buildmg Sump, the Steam Generator Blowdown, or the Gland Steam Packmg Exhauster, it is judged l unreasonable that any of these other radionuclides would be present and detectable above the required LLD's. Regulatory Gmde 1.21, Measurmg, Evaluating, and Reportmg Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Matenals in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants, permits the use of ratios between routmely measured radionuclides and certam radionuclides which have no gamma rays and weak beta radiation for the purposes of actually ; quannfying the radionuclides which are the beta emitters. In this case, Revision 15 utilizes this concept only for the tngger to perform the beta analyses for the purposes of quantification rather than for quantification.

Revision 15 of the ODCM addresses typographical corrections and introduces a screening process which only requires beta emitter analyses when principal gamma emitters are detected for certain effluent pathways that are not normally radioactive. 'Ibese changes are passive in nature dealing with analytical routines and have no effect on the probability of an accident previously evaluated in the UFSAR. B. Will the consequences of an accident previously evaluated in the UFSAR be increased?

Will the probability of a malfunction of equipment important to safety be increased? NO l l I The revision to provide corrections for typographical errors and to provide a screening process using the detection of principal gamma emitters to indicate the need for beta analyses on effluent pathways I normally not considered radioactive does not change the effluent monitor setpoint methodology. Therefore, it does not affect the probability of a malfunction of equipment important to safety. l l D. Will the consequences of a malfunction of equipment important to safety be increased? . NO The ODCM methodology is passive with regard to plant equipment malfunctions. The changes made in Revision 15 to the ODCM for typographical error = and to introduce a screening mechanism using the detection of principal gamma emitters to trigger beta analyses for certain effluent pathways normally not considered radioactive does not increase the consequences of a malfunction of equipment important to safety. E. Will the possibility of an accident of a different type than any previously evaluated in the UFSAR be created? NO The ODCM methodology is used to evaluate the effect of the release of radioactive emissions from the plant. This methodology involves sampling, analysis, and calculations which is passive with regard to the operation of the plant. Revision 15 to the ODCM which corrects typographical errors and creates a screening mechanism using the detection of principal gamma emitters to trigger beta analyses for certain effluent pathways normally not considered radioactive does not create de possibility of an accident of a different type than previously evaluated in the UFSAR. F. Will the possibility of a malfunction of a different type than previously evaluated in the UFSAR be created? NO The ODCM methodology used to evaluate the effects of radioactive releases from the plant is passive with regard to the operation of the plant. The methodology involves sampling, laboratory analyses, and calculations. Revision 15 to the ODCM which corrects typographical errors and allows for a screening mechanism using the detection of principal gamma emitters as a trigger for beta analyses Y-6 ODCM Rev. 15
for certain emuent pathways normally not considered radioacave does not create the possibility of a malfunction of a different type than previously evaluated in the UFSAR. .G. Will the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Tachnieml Specification be reduced? i NO The bases for Technical Specifications 3/4.11.1, Liquid Emuents, 3/4.11.2, Gaseous Emuents, and 3/4.11.4, Total Dose, implement the requirements of Ma adix I to 10 CFR Part 50.

The revision does not eliminate beta analyses for certam :i present ODCM models or y-emuent pathways not normally considered radioactive. The attached table shows that if there are no principal gamma emitters detactad on these pathways, it is judged unreasonable tha. any of these oth radionuclides would be present and detectable above the required LLD's. Therefore, tte screenmg mathadalogy in Revision 15 to the ODCM employing the detection of principal ramma emitters as a , trigger for beta analyses on certain emuent pathways normally not considered radioactive does not reduce the accuracy or reliability of dos: calculations or setpoint determmations and thus does not reduce the margin of safety as defined 3.n the basis of Technical Specifications. l I i l I i l l l 1 Y-7 ODCM Rev. 15

F 4 Seabrook Station Supplemental Effluent Release Report Radiological Impact Assessment for 1994 I. Summary Doses resulting from liquid and gaseous effluents from Seabrook Station during 1994 were calculated in accordance with Method 11 as defined in the Station Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). The calculational methods used follow the models in Regulatory Guide 1.109. The calculations included maximum whole body doses and organ doses from all liquid releases, maximum off organ doses resulting from airborne iodines, tritium and particulate rad 0:.uclides, and maximum offsite beta air and gamma air doses from airborne noble gases. Doses were also calculated for the special receptor locations inside the site boundary: the Science and Nature Center and the " Rocks". In addition, the direct dose from plant operation was calculated. These doses from effluent releases and direct shine during 1994 are summarized in Table A. The calculated maximum annual total body dose and the maximum organ dose from liquid effluents each represent 0.03% of the annual dose limits established by Technical Specification 3.11.1.2 (3 mrem total body and 10 mrem organ). The calculated annual maximum dose from airborne iodine, tritium and particulate radionuclides for offsite receptor locations represents 0.009% of the dose limit established by Technical Specification 3.11.2.3 (15 mrem organ), whereas the calculated maximum annual beta air and gamma air doses from airborne noble gases for offsite receptor locations represent, respectively. 0.0002% and 0.0008% of the dose limits established by Technical Specification 3.11.2.2 (20 mrad beta air and 10 mrad gamma air). The calculated annual beta air and gamma air doses from airborne noble gases for the Science and Nature Center were 0.00001% and 0.00003% of the limits in Technical Specification 3.11.2.2, Whereas for the " Rocks" the annual doses were 0.0003% and 0.0004% of the limits in Technical Specification 3.11.2.2. The calculated annual doses from airborne iodines, tritium and particulate radionuclides at the Science & Nature Center and the " Rocks" were, respectively, 0.000003% and 0.0007% of the limits in Technical Specification 3.11.2.3. The sum of the maximum whole body doses from all exposure pathways for the liquid and gaseous effluents, plus the direct whole body dose from station operation, was 2.2E-1 mrem to a hypothetical individual. This whole body dose represents 0.01% of the annual whole body dose limit (25 mrem) for a member of amn p
. l l
l the public as set forth in 40CFR190. and demonstrates compliance with that code. The maximum organ dose from all exposure pathways including direct dose was 4.6E-3 mrem. This represents 0.02% of the annual organ dose limit of 25 mrem, as set forth in 40CFR190. I ama3 r II. Method for Calculating the Total Body and Maximum Organ Doses Resulting from Liauid Releases The computer code IDLE, which is consistent with the models in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 1), was used to calculate the total body and organ doses resulting from liquid effluents from Seabrook Station. The general equations A-3. A-4, A-5. A-6 and A-7 from Regulatory Guide 1.109 are applied in IDLE. The total body doses and the organ doses are evaluated for each of the four age groups (i.e., infant, child, teen and adult) to determine the maximum total body dose and maximum organ dose via all existing exposure pathways (i.e., fish and aquatic invertebrate ingestion, and shoreline exposure) to an age-dependent individual. The values for the various factors considered in equations A-3 through A-7 have been taken from Regulatory Guide 1.109 and the Station Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) (Reference 2). The specific values used for the usage f actor (U,p), mixing ratio (Mp ), bioaccumulation factor (Bip), dose factors (0,,pj), transit time (tp ), transfer constant f rom water to sediment (K c ), exposure time for sediment or soil (t b}- and shore width factor (W) are provided by the reference sources as summarized in Table B. The flow rate of the liquid effluent (F) and the radionuclide activities (0 3 ) are measured specifically prior to each liquid release. The values for half lives for radionuclides (Tg ) and their radioactive decay constants ( A ) have been taken from Kocher (Reference 3). g The exposure pathways considered in the calculations of total body and maximum organ doses resulting from liquid discharges from Seabrook Station have been limited to ingestion of aquatic foods and e nosure to shoreline deposits. The dose calculations do not include the ingestion of potable water and irrigated vegetation as potential exposure pathways because the liquid effluents from the plant are discharged into salt water. Table A presents the calculated liquid pathway doses for each calendar quarter and also the total for the year, nias 4 111. Method for Calculating the Gamma and Beta Air Doses from Noble Gases The computer codes AIRAD and AEOLUS 2 (Mod 06) were used for the calculation of both the gamma and beta air doses resulting from noble gases present in gaseous effluents released from Seabrook Station. The features and use of AE0LUS 2 for the calculation of atmospheric dispersion factors (i.e.. Chi /0 factors) from recorded meteorological data (i.e., meteorological data I measurements taken during the time of the release) are described in section 8.7.3.2 of Seabrook's ODCM. Meteorological dispersion factors concurrent with periods of batch gas releases are calculated along with the values for quarterly average dispersion factors. The atmospheric dispersion factors calculated using AEOLUS 2 were, in turn, used in the gamma and beta air dose calculations by AIRAD. AIRAD is consistent with the models presented in Regulatory Guide 1.109, general equations B-4 and B-5. The values for the dose factors. DFJ and DFf have been taken from Table B-1 in Regulatory Guide 1.109. Table A lists the calculated air doses for each calendar quarter, and the total for the year, nnn ,

IV. Method for Calculatina the Critical Organ Dose Resulting from lodines. Tritium and Particulates with T U2 Greater than 8 Days in Gaseous Releases The computer codes AEOLUS 2 (Mod 06) and ATM000s were used for the calculation of the organ doses resulting from iodines, tritium and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days present in gaseous effluents released from Seabrook Station. The features and use of AE0LUS 2 for the calculation of atmospheric dispersion factors (i.e., Chi /0 factors) from recorded meteorological data (i.e., meteorological data measurements taken during the time of the release) are described in section B,7.3.2 of Seabrook's ODCM. Meteorological dispersion factors concurrent with periods of batch gas releases were calculated along with the values for quarterly average dispersion factors. The atmospheric dispersion factors calculated using AE0LUS 2 were, in turn, used in the dose calculations by ATMODOS. ATM0005 calculates the organ doses ( i.e., dose to bone, liver, kidney, lung, lower large intestine, total body, and skin) due to the presence of radionuclides other than noble gases in gaseous effluents, and is consistent with the models nresented in Appendix C of Regulatory Guide 1.109. The pathways considered in the dose calculations are the ground plane, inhalation, cnd ingestion of stored vegetables, fresh garden vegetables, milk and meat. The critical organ dose is determined for the offsite location (e.g., site boundary, nearest resident or farm) of receptor pathways as identified in the most recent annual land use census. The total body dose contributions via the ground plane and inhalation pathways as calculated by ATM0 DOS have also been included in the total body dose estimates for the special receptor locations inside the site boundary. Equations C-1 through C-13 are applied in the ATMODOS alculation of the critical organ doses. The input data and assumptions are those provided in Appendix C of Regulatory Guide 1.109, except where site-specific data and assumptions have been identified in Tables B.7-2 and B.7-3 of Seabrook's ODCM. These two 0DCM tables provide the options for special conditions, depending on the type of receptor being evaluated at a specific location, that are to be applied in Method !! calculations. The receptor type controls the exposure pathways for calculational purposes. The receptor types used in the dose calculations were a resident receptor (which considered the ground plane, inhalation and vegetable ingestion exposure pathways), a milk receptor (which considered the ground plane, inhalation, vegetable and milk ingestion exposure pathways) and a boundary and radius receptor (both of which considered the ground plane and inhalation exposure pathways). The resident j and milk receptor locations for the various sector were based on the 1993 land I use census data for Seabrook Station (Table D). The radius receptor locations nru3 -S-l ^
were applied at several distances in each sector to insure that the location of the maximum doses were not overlooked. Depletion of the plume during tran3 port is considered by AE0LUS 2 in the calculations of atmospheric dispersion factors (e.g., calculation of [X/0]D), A shielding factor (S F ) of 0.7 is applied for residential structures The source for the values of the various factors used in equations C-1 through C-13 are summarized in Table C. alh81 t V.
