Refer to NUREG-0133, " Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifica-tions for Nuclear Power Plants, October 1978", and to Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position, Revision l' November 1979.

Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are E

unobtainable due to circumstances such as hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, and malfunction G

of automatic sampling equipment.

If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, effort shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to continue to obtain samples of the media of choice at the most desired location or time.

In these instances, suitable alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathway in question and appropriate substitutions made within 30 days in the radiological environmental monitoring program.

Identify the t'

cause of the unavailability of samples.for that pathway and identify the new location (s) for obtaining samples in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report and also include in the report a-

~

revised figure (s) and table for the ODCM reflecting the new location (s).

b.' One or more instruments, such as a pressurized ion chamber, for measuring and recording dose rate contin-uously may be used in place of, or in addition to, integrating dosimeters.

For the purposes of this table, a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is considered to be one phosphor; two or more phosphors in a packet are considered as two or more dosimeters.

Film badges shall not be used as dosimeters for measur-ing direct radiation. The frequency of analysis or readout for TLD systems will depend upon the character-

{

istics of the specific system used and should be selected to obtain optimum dose information with minimal fading.

'/4.12 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 3

BASES 3/4.12.1 MONITORING PROGRAM The radiological environmental monitoring program required by this speci-fication provider representative measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposures to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the plant operation. This monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the.

Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring.

Program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.

The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs requir.e.d by Table 4.12-1 are corisidered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories.

It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a_ priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

~

Detailed discussion of the LLD and other detection limits can be found in HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revised annually), Currie, L. A., " Limits for Qualitative Detection and Quantitative Determination - Application to Radio-chemistry," anal. Chea. 40, 586-93 (1968), and Hartwell, J. K., " Detection Limits for RadioanalyticaT Counting Techniques," Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company Report ARH-SA-215 (June 1975).

3/4.12.2 LAND USE CENSUS

--r This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are, identified and that modifications to the radiological environmental monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census. The best information from the door-to-door survey, i

from aerial survey or from consulting with local agricultural authorities shall be used. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I l

to 10 CFR Part 50.

Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 50 m2 provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/ year) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimuin garden size, l

the following assumptions were made:

1) 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetatiog (i.e., similar/to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) a vegeta-i tion yield of 2 kg/m.

The minimum water depth is consistent with the assumptions of the accident analysis.

3/4.9.12 SPENT FUEL POOL VENTILATION SYSTEM The limitations on the spent fuel pool ventilation system ensure that all radioactive'ma1Whial released from an irradiated fuel assembly will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber prior to -

3/4.12 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING BASES 3/4.12.1 MONITORING PROGRAM The radiological environmental monitoring program required by this spect-fication provides representative measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposures to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the plant operation. This monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring.

Program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.

The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs required by Table 4.12-1 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories.

It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a_ priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

Detailed discussion of the LLD and other detection limits can be found in HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revised annually), Currie, L. A., " Limits for t

Qualitative Detection and Quantitative Determination - Application to Radio-chemistry," anal. Chem. 40, 586-93 (1968), and Hartwell, J. K., " Detection Limits for RadioanalyticaT Counting Techniques," Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company Report ARH-SA-215 (June 1975).

3/4.12.2 LAND USE CENSUS This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the SITE B0UNDARY are identified and that modifications to the radiological environmental monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census. The best information from the door-to-door survey, from aerial survey or from consulting with local agricultural authorities shall be used. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix !

to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the cent.us to gardens of greater than 50 m2 provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/ year) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were made:

1) 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) a vegeta-tion yield of 2 kg/m2, CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 2 8 3/4 12-1 Amendment No. 82-t
