This specification is provided to ensure that the dose at any time at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 to UNRESTRICTED AREAS. The annual dose limits are i

. the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 1.

These limits prov"de reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC in an UNRESTRICTED AREA, exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, l

Table II of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR Part 20.106(b)). For MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of that MEMBER OF THE i

The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculation methodology and parameters established in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, " Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, " Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revisien 1, July 1977, and NUREG-0133 " Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants".

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES (Continued) 3/4.11.2.3 DOSE -IODINE 131 AND RADIONUCLIDES IN PARTICULATE FORM This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections ll.C, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I,10 CFR Part 50. The Limiting Conditions for Operation are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix 1.

The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable."

The ODCM calculational methods specified in the Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix 1 that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated.

The ODCM calculational methodology and parameters for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109,

" Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 30, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977, Regulatory Guide 1.111, " Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors,"

Revision 1, July 1977, and NUREG-0133, " Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants". These equations also provide for.

determining the actual doses based upon the historical annual average atmospheric conditions.

The release rate specifications for iodine-131 and radionuclides in particulate form with half lives greater than 8 days are dependent upon the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. The pathways that were examined in the development of these calculations were:

1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides,2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, 3) deposition onto grassy areas-where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

3/4.11.2.4 GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM i

The requirement that the appropriate portions of these systems be used, when specified, i

provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable".

This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and the design objectives given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the systems were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose j

design objectives set forth in Sections II.B and II.C of Appendix I,10 CFR Part 50, for gaseous effluents.

CALVERT CLIFFS UNIT 2 B 3/411-4 Amendment No. 86

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES (Continued) 3/4.11.2.5 EXPLOSIVE GAS MIXTURE This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the waste gas holdup system is maintained below the flammability limit of oxygen.

Maintaining the concentration of oxygen below its flammability limit provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials will be controlled in conformance with the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

3/4.11.2.6 GAS STORAGE TANKS The tanks included in this specification are those tanks for which the quantity of radioactivity contained is not limited directly or indirectly by another Technical Specification to a quantity that is less than the quantity that provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tank's contents, the resulting total body exposure to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at the nearest SITE BOUNDARY will not exceed 10 CFR 100 limits.

Restricting the quantity of radioactivity contained in each gas storage tank provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tank's contents, the resulting total body exposure to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at the nearest SITE BOUNDARY will not exceed accident guidelines.

3/4.11.3 SOLID RADIOACTIVE WASTE This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a and General design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. The process parameters are-included in the PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM.

-3/4.11.4 TOTAL DOSE This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190 that have been incorporated into 10 CFR Part 20 by 46 FR 18525. The specification requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses from plant generated radioactive effluents and direct radiation exceed 25 mrems to the total body or any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to sess than or equal to 75 l

mrems. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the i

limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within the 40 CFR Part i

190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cytle sources is negligible.

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES (Continued) l If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190.11 and 10 CFR Part6 20.405c, is considered to be a timely request and fulfilis the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR Part 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Specifications 3.11.1.1 and 3.11.2.1.
