(5) A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume.
Prior to i
sampling for analyses, each batch shall be isolated and then thoroughly mixed.
1 l
(6) A grab sample of plant service water effluent shall be analyzed at least once each j
week in accordance with Tab}e Item 2. A.
In the event the radioactivity concentration in a sample exceeds 3 x 10' pCi/ml, or in the event the plant service water effluent monitor indicates the presence of an activity concentration greater than 3 x 10'6 pCi/ml, sampling and analysis according to Table Item 2.B. shall commence and shall be performed as long as the condition persists.
(7) The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification will apply are exclusively the following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported. Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses should not be reported as being present at 1
the LLD level. When unusual circumstances result in LLD's higher than required, the i
reasons shall be documented in the Annual Radioactive Materials Release Report.
l (8) If an isotopic analysis 'is unavailable, batch releases may be made for up to 14 days provided,7 the gross beta / gamma concentration to the unrestricted area is s 1 x 10 pc/ml and the sample is analyzed when the instrumentation is once again available.
(9) Analysis may be performed after release.
1 (10)
A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a nondiscrete volume; e.g., from a volume of system that has an input flow during the continuous release.
