VEGP ODCM CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The offsite Dose Calculation Manual is a supporting document of the Technical specifications. As such, it describes the methodology and parameters to be used in the calculation of offsite doses due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents, and in the calculation of liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation alarm setpoints. In addition, it contains the followings e The controls required by the Technical Specifications, governing the radioactive effluent and radiological environmental monitoring programs.

Schematics of liquid and gaseour radwaste effluent treatment systems, which include designation of releaso points to UNRESTRICTED AREAS. l e A list and maps indicating the specific sample locations for the Radio-logical Environmental Monitoring Program, e Specifications and descriptions of the information that must be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Surveillance Report and the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report required by the Technical l Specifications.

I The ODCM will be maintained at the plant for use as a reference guide and training document of accepted methodologies and calculations. Changes in the calculatioral methods or parameters will be incorporated into the ODCM in order ,

to ensure that it represents current methodology in all applicable areas. Any l computer software used to perform the calt:uAations described will be maintained current with the ODCM.

Equations and methods used in the ODCM are based on those presented in NUREG-0133 (Reference 1), in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (References 2 and 3), in Regulatory Guide 1.:11 (References 4 and 5), and in Regulatory Guide 1.113 (Reference 6).

CHAPTER 2 !

LIQUID EFFLUENTS 2.1 LIMITS OF OPERATION ,

The following Liquid Effluent Controls implement requirements established by.

Technical Specifications-Section 6.0. Terms printed in all capital letters are defined in Chapter 10.

2.1.1 Liould Effluent Monitorino Instrumentation Control In accordance with Technical Specification 6.7.4.f(l), the radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation channels shown in Table 2-1 shall be OPERABLE with their alarm / trip setpc.ints set to ensure that the limits specified in Section 2.1.2 are not exceede'J. The alarm / trip setpoints of these channels shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.3. >

2.1.1.1 Applicability This limit applies at all times.

2.1.1.2 Actions with a radioactive liquid ef fluent monitoring instrumentation channel alarm / trip setpoint less conservative than required by the above control, immediately suspend the release of radioactive liquid effluents monitored by the affected channel, declare the channel inoperable, or change the setpoint to a conservative value.

With less than the minimum number of radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation channels OPERABLE, take the ACTION shown in Table 2-1. Restore the INOPERABLE instrumentation to OPERABLE status within 30 days, or if unsuccessful, a :plaus in the next Annual Radioactive Ef fluent Release Report, per Technical Specification 6.8.1.4, why this inoperability was not corrected in a timely manner.

This contr.1 does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes.

2.1.1.3 Surveillance Requirements Each radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation channal shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by performance of the CHANNEL CHECK, SOURCE CHECK, CHANNEL 2-1 Rev. 9

VEGP ODCM CALIBRATION, and ANALOG CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST operations at the frequencies shown in Table 2-2. Specific instrument numbers are provided in parentheses for information only. The numbers apply to each unit. These numbers will help to identify associated channels or loops and are not intended to limit the requirements to the specific instruments associated with the number.

2.1.1.4 Basis The radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid ef fluents during actual or potential releases of liquid effluents. The Alarm / Trip Setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section 2.3 to ensure that the alarm / trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of Section 2.1.2. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

The concentration limit for dissolved or entrained noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its MPC in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent ecacentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2 (1959).

VEGP ODCM 2.2 LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT iSSTEM The Vogtle Electric Generating Plant is located on the west bank of the Savannah River approximately 151 river miles from the Atlantic Ocean. There are two pressurized water reactors on the site. Each unit is served by a separate LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM; however, certain components are shared between the two systems. Schematics of the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS are presented in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2. Liquid discharge pathways are shown in Figure 2-3.

All liquid radwastes treated by the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM are collected in 5,000-gallon or 20,000-gallon waste monitor tanks. Releases from the waste monitor tanks are to the discharge line from the blowdown sump, and from there to the Savannah River. The blowdown sump also receives input from the waste water retention basins, turbine plant cooling water blowdown, and nuclear service cooling water blowdown. Additional dilution water is available from the cooling tower m'keup a water bypass line.

Although no significant quantities of radioactivity are expected in the nuclear service cooling water, the steam generator blowdown processing system, or the turbine building drain system, these effluent pathways are monitored as a precautionary measure. The monitors serving the latter two pathways provide for automatic termination of releases from these systems in the event that radio-activity is detected above predetermined levels. These two systems discharge to the waste water retention basin. Sampling and analysis of releases via all three of these pathways must be. sufficient to ensure that the liquid effluent dose limits specified in the controls of Section 2.1.3 are not exceeded.

VEGP ODCM 2.3 LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITOR SETPOINTS 2.3.1 General Provisions Recardino Setooints Liquid monitor setpoints calculated in accordance with the methodology presented in this section will be regarded as upper bounds for the actual high alarm setpoints. That is, a lower value for the high alarm setpoint may be established or retained on the monitor, if desired. Intermediate level setpoints should be established at an appropriate level to give sufficient warning prior to reaching the high alarm setpoint. If no release is planned for a particular pathway, or if there is no detectable activity in the planned release, the monitor setpoint should be established as close to bac*, ground as practical to prevent spurious alarms, and yet alarm should an inadvertent release occur. l Two basic setpoint methodologies are presented below. For radwaste system discharge monitors, setpoints are determined to assure that the limits of Section 2.1.2 are not exceeded. For monitors on streams that are not expected to contain significant radioactivity, the purpose of the monitor setpoints is to cause an alarm on low levels of radioactivity, and to terminate the release where this is possible. Section 2.1 1 establishes the requirements for liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation. Table 2-4 lists the monitors for which each of the setpoint methodologies is applicable.

Therefore, their alarm / trip setpoints are established to ensure compliance with the following equation (equation adapted from Addendum to Reference 1):

- # 5 TF CECL (2.1)

F+f where: ,

i the Effluent Concentration Limit corresponding to the mix CECL =

of radionuclides in the effluent being considered for

discharge, in pCi/mL.

c= the setpoint, in pCi/mL, of the radioactivity monitor measuring the concentration of radioactivity in the effluent line prior to dilution and subsequent release. The setpoint represents a concen-tration which, if exceeded, could result in concentrations exceeding the limits of Section 2.1.2 in the UNRESTRICTED AREA.

f= the ef fluent flowrate at the location of the radioactivity monitor, in gpm.

F= the dilution stream flowrate which can be assured prior to the release point to the UNRESTRICTED AREA, in gpm. A predetermined dilution flowrate must be assured for use in the calculation of the radioactivity monitor setpoint.

TF = the tolerance factor selected to allow flexibility in the establishment of a practical monitor setpoint which could accommodate ef fluent releases at concentrations higher than the ECL values stated in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2; the tolerance factor must not exceed a value of 10.

While egaation (2.1) shows the relationships of the critical parameters that determine the setpoint, it cannot be applied practically to a mixture of radio-2-21 Rev. 9

nuclides with dif ferent Ef fluent Concentration Limits (ECLs) . For a mixture of radionuclides, equation (2.1) is satisfied in a practicable manner based on the calculated ECL fraction of the radionuclide mixture and the dilution stream flowrate that can be assured for the duration of the release (Fd ), by calculating the maximum permissible af fluent flowrate (fm) and the radioactivity monitor setpoint (c).

The setpoint method presented below is applicable to the release of only one tank of liquid radwaste per reactor unit at a given time. Liquid releases must be controlled administratively to ensure that this condition is met; otherwise, the setpoint method may not ensure that the ibmits of Section 2.1.2 are not exceeded.

2.3.2.2 Setpoint calculation Steps Sten 1: Determine the radionuclide concentrations in the liquid waste being considered for release in accordance with the sampling and analysis requirements of Section 2.1.2.

All liquid radwastes treated by the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM are collected in waste monitor tanks Idr sampling and analysis. The 5,000-gallon waste monitor tanks are recirculated for a minimum of 30 minutes, and the 20,000-gallon waste monitor tanks are recirculated for a minimum of 45 minutes. This mixing assures that a representative sample can be taken from the tank.

The total concentration of the liquid waste is determined by the results of all required analyses on the collected sample, as follows:

[Ci i

Ca + { C, + Cf+Cg + {CK 3

Ct= the concentration of H-3 in the liquid waste, not less than that measured'in the most recent applicable composite sample, t

Cg= the concentration of gamma emitter g in the liquid wasts as measured by gamma ray spectroscopy performed on the sample for the release under consideration.

The Cg term will be included in the analysis of each waste sample; terms for gross concentrations of alpha emitters, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe"55, and tritium will be included in accordance with the sampling and analysis program required for the waste stream (see section 2.1.2). For each analysis, only radionuclides identified and detected above background for the given measurement should be included in the calculation. When using the alternate setpoint methodology of ;

step 5.b, the historical maximum values of Ca , C, g Cr, and Cg shall be used.

Steo 2: Determine the required dilution f actor for the mix of radionuclides detected in the waste.

Measured radionuclide concentrations are used to calculate ECL fractions. The

ECL fractions are used along with a safety f actor to calculate the required dilution factor; this is the minimum ratio of dilution flowrate to waste flowrate that must be maintained throughout the release to ensure that the limits of l Section 2.1.2 are not exceeded at the point of discharge into the UNRESTRICTED ;

NOTE 2: If, at the time of the planned release, there is detectable radio-activity due to plant operations in the dilution stream, the diluting capacity of the dilution stream is diminished. (In !

addition, sampling and analysis of the other radioactive offluents l af fecting the dilution stream must be suf ficient to ensure that the liquid affluent dose limits specified in the controls of Section ;

Based on the values determined in previous steps, the radioactivity monitor setpoint for the planned release is calculated to ensure that the limits of Section 2.1.2 will not be exceeded. Because the radioactivity monitor responds primarily to gamma radiation, the monitor setpoint cp for release pathway p (in Ci/mL) is based on the concentration of gamma emitters in the waste stream, as follows:

where:

A p= an adjustment factor which will allow the setpoint to be established in a practical manner to prevent spurious alarms while allowing a margin between measured concentrations and the limits of Section 2.1.2. .

can be established at a level that will prevent

spurious alarms, Ap should be calculated as follows:

would cause limits of Section 2.1. 2. to be exceeded. ,

Therefore, steps should be taken to reduce potential con-centrations at the point of discharge; these steps may l include decreasing the planned effluent discharge flowrate, increasing the dilution stream flowrate, postponing simultaneous releases, and/or decreasing the effluent concentrations by further processing the liquid I planned for release. Alternatively, allocation factors for the active liquid releare pathways may be reassigned. l When one or more of thec? actions has been taken, repeat :

Steps 1-5 to calculate a new radioactivity monitor setpoint.

l If Ap < 1, the release may not be made as planned. Consider the alternatives discussed in the paragraph above, and calculate a new setpoint based on the results of the actions tr. ken.

I 2.3.2.3 Use of the calculated setpoint i 4

The setpoint calculated above is in the units pci/mL. The monitor actually measures a count rate, subtracts a predetermined background count rate, and multiplies by a calibration factor to convert from count rate to pCi/mL. .

Initial calibration of the monitors by the manuf acturer and Georgia Power Company utilized NIST-traceable liquid solutions with gamma ray emissions over the range i 0.08 to 1.33 MeV, in the exact geometry of each production monitor. The calibration factor is a function of the radionuclide mix in the liquid to be )

released, and will be calculated for the monitor based on the results of the pre- l release sample results from the laboratory gamma-ray spectrometer system. The mix-dependent calibration factor will be used as the gain factor in the PERMS 2-28 Rev. 9 l

VEGP ODCM monitor, or used to modify the calculated base monitor setpoint so that the default calibration factor in the PERMS monitor can be left unchanged.

1 Notwithstanding the initial calibration, monitor calibration data for conversion I between count rate and concentration may include operational data obtained from determining the monitor response to stream concentrations measured by liquid sample analysis.

l 2.3.3 Setpoints for Monitors on Normally Low-Radioactivity Streams !

I I

Radioactivity in these streams (listed in Table 2-4 above) is expected to be at very low levels, generally below detection limits. Accordingly, the purpose of these monitors Is to alarm upon the occurrence of significant radioactivity in ,

these streams, and to terminate or divert the release where this is possible. l l

2.3.3.1 Normal Conditions l I

When radioactivity in one of these streams is at its normal law level, its radio-activity monitor set pint should be established as c4n r;9 background as practical to prevera spurious alarms, and yet alarm should on (Audvertent release occur. j 2.3.3.2 Conditions Requiring an Elevated Satpoint i

Under the following conditions, radionuclide concentrations must be determined and an elevated radioactivity monitor setpoint determined for these pathways: ,

i e For streams that can be diverted or isolated, a new monitor setpoint must be established when it is desired to discharge the stream directly to the l dilution water even though the radioactivity in the stream exceeds the level which would normally be diverted or isolated.

e For streams that cannot be diverted or isolated, a new monitor setpoint must be established whenever: the radioactivity in the stream becomes detectable above the background levels of the applicable laboratory analyses; or the associated radioactivity monitor detects activity in the stream at levels above the established alarm setpoint.

When an elevated monitor setpoint is required for any of these ef fluent streams, it should be determined in the same manner as described in Section 2.3.2.

However, special consideration must be given to Step 3. An allocation factor i must be assigned to the normally low-radioactivity release pathway under !

consideration, and allocation factors for other release pathways discharging ,

simultaneously must be adjusted downward (if necessary) to ensure that the sum of the allocation factors does not exceed 1. Sampling and analysis of the normally low-radioactivity streams must be sufficient to ensure that the liquid !

VEGP ODCM 2.4- LIQUID EFFLUENT DOSE CALCULATIONS The following sub-sections present the methods required for liquid ef fluent dose calculations, in deepening levels of detail. Applicable site-specific pathways and parameter values for the calculation of D , Aj7, 7 and CFgy are summarized in Table 2-5.

2.4.1 Calculation of Dose The doce limits for a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC specified in Section 2.1.3 are on a per-unit basis. Therefore, the doses calculated in accordance with this section must be determined and recorded on a per-unit basis, including apportionment of releases shared between the two units.

For the purpose,of implementing Section 2.1.3, the dose to the maximum exposed individual due to radionuclides identified in liquid effluents released from each unit to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be calculated as follows (equation from Ref-erence 1, page 15):

m D7 = { Aj7 [ (Atf Cjf F}f (2*12) i . l=1 where D7 = the cumulative dose comitment to the total body or to any organ r, in mrem, due to radioactivity in liquid effluents released during the total of the m time periods Atg.

the site-related adult ingestion dose commitment factor, for the Air =

total body or for any organ T, due to identified radionuclide i, in (mrem *mL)/(h*pci). Methods for the calculation of A 7 are presented below in Section 2.4.2. The values of Aj7 to be used in dose calculations for releases from the plant site are listed in Table 2-8.

Atg = the length of time period 1, over which C g i and Fg are averaged for liquid releases, in h.

C;g = the average concentration of radionuclide i in undiluted liquid effluent during time period 1, in pCi/mL. Only radionuclides 2-31 Rev. 9

ft= the - average undiluted liquid waste flowrate actually-observed during the period of radioactivity release, in gym.

Fg= the average dilution stream flowrate actually observed during the period of radioactivity release, in gym. If simultaneous releases from both units occur, the dilution stream flowrate Ft must be allocated between them. In j such cases, Fg is unit-specific.

Z= the applicable dilution factor for the receiving water body, in the near field of the discharge structure, i i

VEGP ODCM 2.5 LIQUID EFFLUENT DOSE PROJECTICNS 2.5.1 Thirty-One Dav Dose Proiections In order to meet the requirements for operation of the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT ~

SYSTEM (see Section 2.1.4), dose projections must be made at least once each 31 days; this applies during periods in which a discharge to UNRESTRICTED AREAS of liquid effluents containing radioactive materials occurs or is expected.

Projected 31-day doses to individuals due to liquid effluents may be determined as follows:

a p

D - x 31 + Dra (2.17) 9 where:

D = the projected dose to the total body or organ 7, for the next 31 9

days of liquid releases.

Du = the cumulative dose to the total body or organ 7, for liquid releases that have occurred in the elapsed portion of the current quarter, plus the release under consideration.

t= the number of whole or partial days elapsed into the current quarter, including the time to the end of the release under ;

consideration (cven if the release continues into the next '

quarter).

D ra = the anticipated dose contribution to the total body or any organ 7, due to any planned activities during the next 31-day pericd, if those activities will result in liquid releases that are in addition to routine liquid effluents. If only routine liquid l l

effluents are anticipated, D 7, may be set to zero.

2.5.2 Dose Proiections for Soecific Releases Dose projections may be performed for a particular release by performing a pre-release dose calculation assuming that the planned release will proceed as anticipated. For individual dose projections due to liquid releases, follow the methodology of Section 2.4, using sample analysis results for the source to be released, and parameter values expected to exist during the release period.

t 3.2 GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM At Plant Vogtle, there are five potential points where radioactivity may be released to the atmosphere in gaseous discharges. These five potential release pathways are the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Plant Vents; the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Turbine Building vents; and the Dry Active Waste Processing Building Vent. However, the Turbine Building vents are not normal release pathways unless a primary-to- ;

secondary leak exists. The figures on the following pages give schematic l diagrams of the Gaseous Waste Treatment System and the Ventilation Exhaust Treatment Systems (Reference 11).

The Unit 1 Plant Vent release pathway includes two release sources that are ,

common to the two units: ventilation air from the Fuel Handling Building, and discharges from the GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM. Otherwise, discharges from the two reactor units are separated. Reactor Containment Building ventilation releases are through the respective plant vents. The Turbine Building Vent serves as the discharge point for both the condenser air ejector and the steam f packing exhauster system.

Releases from the two Turbine Building Vents, and the Dry Active Waste Processing Building Vent are considered to be ground-level releases, whereas releases from ,

the two Plant Vents are considered mixed-mode releases. Chapter 8 discusses the calculation of atmospheric dispersion parameters using the ground-level and miyed-mode (i.e., split-wake) models. All five potential release pathways are considered to be continuous (as opposed to batch) in nature.

3.3.2.3 Use of the calculated Setpoint The setpoint calculated above is in the units pC1/mL. The monitor actually measures a count rate, subtracts a predetermined background count rate, and multiplies by a calibration factor to convert from count rate to pci/mL.
Initial calibration by the manuf acturer and Georgia Power Company of the gaseous ef fluent monitors specified in Section 3.1.1 utilized at least one NIST-traceable gaseous radionuclide source in the exact geometry of each production monitor.
The point and gaseous sources used covered the beta particle end point energy range from 0.293 MeV to at least 1.488 MeV. The calibration f actor is a function of the radionuclide mix in the gas to be released, and normally will be calculated for the monitor based on the results of the sample results from the laboratory gamma-ray spectrometer system. The mix-dependent calibration f actor will be used as the gain factor in the PERMS monitor, or used to modify the calculated base monitor setpoint so that the default calibration factor in the PERMS monitor can be left unchanged.
Notwithstanding the initial calibration, monitor calibration data for conversion between count rate and concentration may include operational data obtained from determining the monitor response to stream concentrations measured by sample analysis.
In all cases, monitor background must be controlled so that the monitor is capable of responding to concentrations in the range of the setpoint value.
Contributions to the monitor background may include any or all of the following factors: ambient background radiation, plant-related radiation levels at the monitor location (which may change between shutdown and power conditions), and internal background due to contamination of the monitor's sample chamber.
3.3.3 Setooints for Noble Gas Monitors on Effluent Source Streams Table 3-4 lists certain gaseous release pathways as being source streams. As may be seen in the figures of Section 3.2, these are streams that merge with other streams, prior to passing a final radicactivity monitor and being released.

1 VEGP ODCM 3.3.3.2 Effect on the Setpoint of the Monitor on the Merged ;
Stream Before beginning a release from a monitored source stream, a setpoint must be determined for the source stream monitor as presented in Section 3.3.3.1. In addition, whether or not the source stream has its own effluent monitor, the previously-determined maximum allowable setpoint for the downstream final monitor on the merged stream must be redetermined. This is accomplished by repeating the steps of Section 3.3.2, with the following modifications.

AG When simultaneous gaseous releases are conducted, an administrative allocation factor must be applied to divide the release limit among the active gaseous release pathways. This is to assure that the dose rate limit for areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY (see Section 3.1.2) will not be exceeded by simultaneous releases. The allocation factor for any pathway may be assigned any value between 0 and 1, under the following two conditions:
1. The sum of the allocation factors for all simultaneously-active final release paths at the plant site may not exceed 1.
2. The sum of the allocation factors for all simultaneously-active source streams merging into a given final release pathway may not exceed the allocation factor of that final release pathway.
3-32 Rev. 9
VEGP ODCM Any of the following three methods may be used to assign the allocation factors to the active gaseous release pathways:
1. For ease of implementation, AGy may be equal for all release pathways:
AG y = 1N (3.3) where:
N= the number of simultaneously active gaseous release pathways.
2. AGy for a given release pathway may be selected based on an estimate of the portion of the total SITE BOUNDARY dose rate (from all simultaneous releases) that is contributed by the release pathway. During periods when a given building or release pathway is not subject to gaseous radioactive releases, it may be assigned an allocation factor of zero.
3. AG y for a given release pathway may be selected based on a calculation of the portion of the total SITE BOUNDARY dose rate that is contributed by the release pathway, as follows:
(IIU)vb ' E{Kg Qgy}
AG y = I N (3.9)
E (X16)rb E(Kg Qgy) i r=1 where:

l l VEGP ODCM 4.1.1.3 Surveillance Requirements The REMP samples shall be collected pursuant to Table 4-2 from the locations described in Section 4.2, and shall be analyzed pursuant to the requirements of Table 4-1 and Table 4-3. Required detection capabilities for thermoluminescent dosimeters used for environmental measurements shall be in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 4.13. Program changes may be initiated based , on operational experience. Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRATIONS (MDCs) will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidable small sample sizes, the presence of interfering radionuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these MDCs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified , and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Surveillance Report. 4.1.1.4 Basis The REMP required by this control provides representative measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways, and for those radionuclides, which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the plant operation. The REMP implements Section IV.B.2, Appendix I,10 CFR 50, and thereby supplements the radiological ef fluent monf.toring program by measuring concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of ra diation, which may then be compared with those expected on the basis of the ef fis ent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. The detection capabilities required by Table 4-3 are within state-of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. , i l r o 4-3 Rev. 9

VEGP ODCM 4.1.2.4 Basis This control is provided to ensure that changes in the use of UNRESTRICTED AREAS are identified and that modifications to the REMP are made if required by the results of this census. This census satisfies the requirements of section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 500 ft2 provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy I vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/y) of lesfy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumpt.ons were made: (1) 20 percent of the garden ! was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage) and (2) a vegetation yield of 2 kg/m2 was obtained. , i 4-11 Rev. 9

The entrance to this canal is at river mile (RM) 207 on the Savannah River. The canal effectively parallels the river. The intake to the pumping station is about 4 miles down the canal and only 0.1 mile from the river (across land). (3) About a 5-mile stretch of the river is generally needed to obtain adequate fish samples. Samples are normally gathered between RM 153 ' and 158 for upriver collections and between RMs 144 and 149.4 for downriver collections. (4) Sediment is collected at locations with existing or potential recreational value. High water shif ting of the river bottom or other i reasons could cause a suitable location for sediment collection to become unavailable or unsuitable. Thus, a stretch of river between RM 148.5 and 150.5 is designated for downriver sediment collections, while a stretch between RM 153 and 154 is designated for upriver collections. In practice, collections are normally made at RM 150.2 for downriver collections and at RM 153.3 for upriver collections. (5) The intake for the Beaufort-Jasper Water Treatment Plant is located at the end of a canal which begins at RM 39.3 on the Savannah River. This intake is about 16 miles by line of sight down the canal from j its beginning on the Savannah River.

.t-VEGP ODCM CHAPTER S TOTAL DOSE DETERMINATIONS 5.1 LIMIT OF OPERATION In accordance with Technical Specification 6.7.4.f(lO), the dose or dose commitment to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC over a calendar year, due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources, shall be limited to less than or equal to 25 mrom to the total body or any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem.
5.1.1 Aeolicability This limit applies at all times. 5.1.2 Actions With the calculated doses from the release of radioactive materials in liquid or gaseous effluents exceeding twice the limits of Section 2.1.3, 3.1.3, or 3.1.4, calculations shall be made according to Section 5.2 methods to determine whether the limits of Section 5.1 have been exceeded. If these limits have been exceeded, prepare and submit a Special Report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, pursuant to Technical Specification 6.8.2, within 30 days, which defines the corrective actions to be taken to reduce subsequent releases to prevent recurrence of exceeding the limits of Section 5.1 and includes the schedule for achieving conformance with the limits of Section 5.1. This special Report, as defined in 10 CFR 20.2203, shall also include an analysis which estimates the radiation exposure (dose) to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from uranium fuel cycle sources (including all effluent pathways and direct radiation) for the calendar year that includes the release (s) covered by this report. This Special Report shall also describe the levels of radiation and concentrations of radioactive material involved, and the cause of the exposure levels or concentrations. If the estimated dose (s) exceeds the limits of Section 5.1, and if the release condition resulting in violation of the provisions of 40 CFR 190 has not already been corrected, the Special Report shall include a request for variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190 and including the specified information of 40 CFR 190.ll(b). Submittal of the report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete. This control does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes. 5-1 Rev. 9
- ~ , . - ~--- . - - { w VEGP ODCM 5.1.3 surveillance Raouir- nts l Cumulative dose contributions from liquid and gaseous effluents and from direct f radiation shall be determined in accordance with section 5.2. This requirement 3 is applicable only under the conditions set forth above in section 5.1.2. i 5.1.4 Basis i This control is provided to meet the dose limitations and reporting requirements of 40 CFR 190. The control requires the preparation and submittal of a special i l Report whenever the calculated doses from plant radioactive affluents exceed the limits of section 5.1. For sites containing up to 4 reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose { limits of 40 CFR 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose l design objectives of Appendix I and if direct radiation doses from the units, { such as direct exposure from outside storage tanks, are kept small. The special ! Report will describe a course of action which should result in the limitation of ! dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC for a calendar year to within the 40 CFR 190 limits. For the purposes of the special Report, it may be assumed that the dose l commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is. l negligible with the exception that dose contributions from other uranium fuel { cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 5 miles must be { considered. If the done to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR 190, the special Report with a request for variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR 190 have not f already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190.11 and_ l 10 CFR 20.2203(a)(4), is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the l requirements of 40 CFR 190 until~NRC staff action is completed. The variance ] only relates to the limits of 40 CFR 190, and does not apply in any way to the requirements for dose limitation as addressed in other sections of this ODCM.

l l l VEGP ODCM CHAPTER 10 DEFINITIONS OF EFFLUENT CONTROL TERMS The terms defined in this chapter are used in the presentation of the above chapters. These terms are shown in all capital letters to indicate that they are specifically defined. 10.1 TERMS SPECIFIC TO THE ODCM The following terms are used in the ODCM, but are not found in the Technical Specifications: BATCH RELEASE A BATCH RELEASE is the discharge of wastes of a discrete volume. Prior to sampling for analyses, each liquid batch shall be isolated and then thoroughl'y mixed by a method deceribed in the ODCM to accure representative sampling. COMPOSITE SAMPLE A COMPOSITE SAMPLE is one which contains material from multiple waste releases, in which the quantity of sample is proportional to the quantity of waste discharged, and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen that is representative of the wastes released. Prior to
. analyses, all liquid samples that are to be aliquotted for a COMPOSITE SAMPLE shall be mixed thoroughly, in order for the COMPOSITE SAMPLE to be representative of the effluent release.
When assessing the consequences of a waste release at the pre-release or post-release stage, the most recent available COMPOSITE SAMPLE results for the applicable release pathway may be used. CONTINUOUS RELEASE A CONTINUOUS RELEASE is the discharge of wastes of a non-discrete volume, e.g., from a volume within a system that has an input flow during the continuous release. To be representative of the quantities and concen-trations of radioactive materials in CONTINUOUS RELEASES of liquid ef fluents, samples shall be collected in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream or to the quantity of liquid waste discharged. LIOUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM A LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM is any system designed and installed to reduce radioactive materials in liquid effluents by systematic 10-1 Rev. 9 s

This. system consists of at .l least one collection tank, one evaporator or domineraliser system, one i post-treatment tank and associated components providing for treatment flow { and functional control. l MAJOR CHANGES TO RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS For the purposes of the ODCM, MAJOR CHANGES TO RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT l SYSTEMS include the following changes to such systems: I (1) Major changes in process equipment, components, structures, or l effluent monitoring instrumentation as ~ described - in the Final ! Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) or as evaluated in the Nuclear : Regulatory Commission staff's safety Evaluation Report (SER) (e.g., f deletion of evaporators and installation of domineralizers); ! (2) Changes in the design of radwaste treatment systems that could j significantly increase quantities of effluents released from those :
)
previously considered in the FSAR and SER; ; I (3) Changes in system design which may invalidate the accident analysis j as described in the SER (e.g., changes in tank capacity that would { alter the curies released); or ! i (4) Changes in system design that could potentially result in a l significant increase in occupational exposure of operating-personnel (e.g., use of temporary equipment without adequate shielding provisions). f MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRATION l The MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRATION (MDC) is defined, for purposes of the l controls in this ODCM, as the smallest concentration of radioactive j material in a sample that will yield a net count above system background ! i and that will be detected with 95-percent probability, with only 5-percent j probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a !
"real" signal. !
