Surveillance Reautrement 4.11.1.1.2 - Linuld Radwaste Release Comoliance wit h 10CFR20 L imit s Limerick. Generating Station Units 1 and 2 have one common di sc harge point for liquid releases under

normal-circumstances.

In t he. event of heat exchanger leakage, additional release pat hways are possible through t he plant service water system and the RHR service water system.

Tre following calculat ion assures t hat t he redweste release limit s are met.

T he. f l ow rate of liquid redweste released f rom the site to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY shall be such t hat t he concentration of radioactive material af ter dilution shall be limited to the concentration i

specified in 10 CFR 20.106(a) for radionuclides other than the dissolved or entrained noble gases and 2x10-4 uCl/ml total activity concentration for all dissolved

-or entrained noble gases as specified in Tec hn i cal Specification 3.11.1.1.

Each tank of radioactive waste is sampled prior to release and is quantitatively analyzed-for identifiable gamma emitters as specified in Table 4.11-1 of the Technical

Surveillance Reautrement 4.11.1.2 The primary method of calculating dose contributions from liquid effluents released to areas at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY will be by using a computer-based calculational program developed using the equations and par meters of R.G.

1.109, Rev.

1, October, 1977 (see bases Note 4) for all organs and age groups.

The A values used for this calculation are located in the i

Appendix, Table 1.

Dose contributions from liquid effluents released to creas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY s hall be calculated using the equation below.

This dose calculation uses as a minimum those appropriate radionuclides listed in Table II.A.1.

-Gaseoss Fathwav Dose Calculations IThe.controling receptor locat ions for the gaseous pat hway d3ce calculations are based on a land-use census perf.ormed in 1975 to 1976 which has been periodically updated. The p30t'recent update was in 1983.

Surveillance Reautrement 4.11.2.1.1 The dose rate in areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY due to radioactive materials released in gaseous I

effluents s hall be determined by the expressions below:

1.

Noble Gases The dose rate from radioactive noble gas releases shall be determined by either of two methods.

Method (a),

t he Isotopic Analysis Method, utilizes the results of noble gas analysis required by specification 4.11.2.1.1 and 4.11.2.1.2.

Met hod (b),

the Gross Release Method, assumes that all noble gases released are the most limiting nuclide-Kr-88 f or total body dose and Kr-87 for skin dose.

For normal operations, it is expected that method (a) will be used.

However, if isotopic release data are not available method (b) can be used. Method (a) allows more operating flexibility by using data t hat more accurately reflect actual releases.

T he model Technical '5pecificat ion LCD f or all radienuclides and rcdloactive materials in particulate form and radionuclides other t hari noble gases requires t hat the instantaneous dose rate be 1:ss than the equivalent of 1500 mrom per year.

For t he purpose of-calculating. this instantaneous dose rate, t hyroid dose f rom isdine-131 and iodine-133 through the inhalation pathway will be used.

Since the expected annual releases presented in LG5 FSAR

'Tchte 11.3-1 Indicate t hat lodine-131 and lodine-133 releases have t he major. dose impact this approach is appropriate. The v=lue calculated is multiplied by 1.02 to account for the thyroid dese' f rom all ot her nuclides. This allows for expedited analysis end. calculation of compliance with the LCO.
