DEFINITIONS l

2)

Major changes in the design of radwaste treatment systems (liquid, gaseous and solid) that could significantly increase the quantities or activity of effluents released or volumes of solid waste stored or shipped offsite from those previously considered in the FSAR and SER (e.g.,

use of asphalt system in place of cement);

3)

Changes in system design which may invalidate the accident analysic as described in the SER (e.g.,

changes in tank capacity that would alter the cmries released); and 4)

Changes in system design that could potentially result in a

significant increase in occupational exposure of operating personnel (e.g., use of temporary equipment without adequate shielding provisions)

MEMBER (S) OF THE PUBLIC 1.36 MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC shall include all persons who are not occupationally associated w'.th the plant.

This category does not include employees of the utility, its contractors or its vendors.

Also excluded from this category are persons who enter the site to service equipment or to make deliveries and pe. sons who traverse portions of the site as the consequence of a public highway, railway or waterway located within the confines of the site boundary.

This category does include perso s who use portions of the site for recreational, occupational, or other purposes not associated with the plant.

CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT 1.37 The CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR) is the unit-specific document that provides core operating limits for the current operating reload cycle.

These cycle-specific core operating limits shall be determined for each reload cycle in accordance with bracification 6.9.1.12.

Plant operation within these operating l

limits is addressed in individual specifications.
