LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.22.1.3 The appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste treatment system [

shall be used to reduce the radioactive materials in liquid wastes prior to their discharge when the projected doses due to the liquid effluent from the unit to unrestricted areas (see Figure 5-4) would exceed 0.06 mrem to the total body or 0.2 mrem to any organ in any calendar month.

APPLICABILITY: At all times ACTION:

a. With radioactive liquid waste being discharged without treatment and in excess of the above limits, prepare and submit to the NRC Region I Administrator within 30 days, a Special Report which includes the following information:
1. Explanation of why liquid radwaste was being discharged l without treatment, identification of any inoperable equipment

, or subsystems, and the reason for inoperability,

2. Action (s) taken to restore the inoperable equipment to OPERABLE status, and,
3. A summary description of action (s) taken to prevent a l recurre nce.

BASES The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used, when specified, provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in if quid 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 objective given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The intent of Section II.D. is to reduce effluents to as low as is reasonably achievable in a cost effective manner. This LC0 satisfies this intent by establishing a dose limit which is a small fraction (25%) of Section II. A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50 dose requirements. This margin, a factor of 4, constitutes a reasonable reduction. This same fraction has been similarly employed as discussed in NUREG 0302, Rev.1 and NRC Information Notice IN 85-52.

The release rate specifications for iodine-131 r iodine-133, tritium and radionuclides in particulate form with half lives greater than 8 days are dependent upon the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in areas at and beyond the site boundary. The pathways that were examined in the development of these calculations were: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionucles, 2) '

deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, 3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing aninals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and

4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS 3.22.4 TOTAL DOSE LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.22.4 The annual (calendar year) dose or dose commitment to any member of the public, due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources shall be limited to less than or equal to 25 mrem to the total body or any organ except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem.

APPLICABILITY: At all times.

ACTION:

With the calculated dose from the release of radioactive materials in liquid or gaseous effluents exceeding twice the limits of Specifications 3.22.1.2.a 3.22.1.2.b, 3.22.2.2.a, 3.22.2.2.b, 3.22.2.3.a, or 3.22.2.3.b, calculations should be made including direct radiation contributions from the unit and from outside storage tanks to determine whether the above limits of Specification 3.22.4 have been exceeded. If such is the case, prepare and submit to the NRC Region I Administrator withi . 30 days, a Special Report which defines the corrective action to be taken to reduce subsequent releases to prevent recurrence of exceeding the above limits and includes the schedule for achieving confonnance with the above limits. This Special Report, as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.405c, shcll include an analysis which estimates the radiation exposure (dose) to a member of the public from uranium fuel cycle sources, including all effluent pathways and direct radiation, for the calendar year that includes the release (s) covered by this report.

It shall also describe levels of radiation and concentrations of radioactive material involved, and the cause of the exposure levels or co nce ntrations. If the estimated dose (s) exceed the above limits, and if the release condition resulting in violation of 40 CFR 190 has not already been corrected, the Special Report shall include a request for a variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190. Submittal of the report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete.

BASES 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. This specification requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses from plant generated radioactive effluents and J direct radiation exceed 25 mrem to the total body or any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem. For sites 3-119 Amendment No. 72

' E containing up to 4 reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a member of the public will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR Part 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose design objectives of Appendix I, and if direct radiation doses from the reactor units and outside storage tanks are kept small. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a member of the public to within the 40 CFR Part 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it nny be assumed that the dose commitment to the member of the public from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the sane site or within a radius of 8 km must be considered. 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 Part 20.405c, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills 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 3.22.1.1 and 3.22.2.1. An individual is not considered a member of the public during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation that is part of the nuclear fuel cycle.

4.4.2 Structural Integrity Specification 4.4.2.1 Inservice Tendon Surveillance Requirements The surveillance program for structural integrity and corrosion protection confoms to the recommendations of the U.S. NRC Regulatory Guide 1.35, proposed Revision 3, "Insenice Surveillance of Ungrouted Tendons in Prestressed Concrete Containment Structures." The detailed surveillance program for the prestressint. system tendons shall be based on periodic inspection and mechanical tests to be performed on selected tendons, as specified hereaf ter.

4.4.2.1.1 Containment Tendons Tendon surveillance was completed for one, three and five years following initial structural integrity using a Tech. Spec. based on Regulatory Guide 1.35 Rev. 1. The containment tendon structural integrity shall be demonstrated at five year intervals thereafter by:

a. Determining that for a representative sample
  • of at least 23 tendons (6 dome, 7 vertical, and 10 hoop) each tendon has a lif t off force equalling, or exceeding, its lower limit predicted for the time of the test as defined in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.35, " Inservice Inspection for Ungrouted Tendons in Prestressed Concrete Containments", Proposed Revision 3, April,1979.

If the lif t off force of a selected tendon in a group lies between the prescribed lower limit and 90% of that limit, one tendon on each side of this tendon shall be checked for their lif t off forces. If the lift off forces of the adjacent tendons are equal to, or greater than, their prescribed lower limits at the time of the test, the single deficiency shall be considered unique and acceptable.

If the lif t off force of any one tendon lies below 90% of its prescribed lower limit, the tendon shall be considered a defective tendon. It shall be completely detensioned and a determination made as to the cause of the occurrence.

If the inspections performed at one, three, and five years indicate no abnormal degradation of the post-tensioning system, the number of tendons checked for lif t off force during subsequent tests may be reduced to a representative sample of at least 11 tendons (3 dome, 3 vertical, and 5 hoop).

  • For each inspection, the tendons shall be selected on a random but representative basis so that the sample group will change somewhat for each inspection; however, to develop a history of tendon performance and to correlate the observed data, one te tn from each group (dome, vertical, and hoop) may be kept unchanged af ter La initial selection.

4-35 Amendment No. 59, 95

b. Determining that the average of the normalized
  • tendon lif t off forces for each tendon group (vertical, dome, and hoop) is equal to, of greater than 1010 Kips for vertical tendons,1040 Kips for dome tendons, and 1121 Kips for hoop tendons. If this requirement is not mec, an additional sample of 4%, with a minimum of four and a maximum of ten, of the same group of tendons shall be inspected. If the total population of each group of the sampled tendons meets the criteria above, the structural integrity of the containment shall be considered acceptable.
c. Detensioning one tendon in each group (dome, vertical and hoop) from the representative sample. One wire shall be removed from each detensioned tendon and examined to determine:
1. That over the entire length of the wire, the tendon wires have not undergone corrosion, cracks, or damage beyond that which was originally recorded and the extent of corrosion is within specified ,

acceptable limits.

2. A minimum tensile strength value of 240,000 psi (guaranteed ultimate strength of the tendon material) for at least three wire samples (one from each end and one at mid-length) cut from each removed wire.

Upon retensioning, the elongation shall be within plus or minus 5% of that recorded at original stressing of the tendon. If the 5% limit is not met, an investigation shall be made to determine if wire failure is the cause,

d. Determining for each tendon in the above representative sample, that the sheathing filler grease is within acceptable limits as to:
1. presence of voids.
2. presence of free water.
3. chemical and physical properties.

In order for the tendon lif t off forces to be indicative of the average level of prestress, each lift off force is adjusted for differences which exist among the tendons due to initial lock off force and elastic shortening loss.

4-35a Amendment No. 59 (10-31-80)

4.4.2.1.2 End Anchorages and Adjacent Concrete Surfaces The structural integrity of the end anchorages of all tendons inspected pursuant to Specification 4.4.2.1.1 and the adjacent concrete surfaces shall be determined through visual inspection.

The condition of the end anchorage and adjacent concrete shall be recorded. The acceptance criteria shall be that all crack widths greater than 0.010 inch shall be recorded and evaluated. Any crack width greater than 0.050 inch shall be cause for investigation to determine the amount of structural impaiment upon the reactor building and its continued structural integrity. Changes in the condition of the end anchorage or the concrete from that previously recorded shall be noted on the record.

4.4.2.1.3 Contai ment Surfaces The structural integrity of the exposed accessible interior and exterior surfaces of the containment, including the liner plate, shall be determined during the shutdown for each Type A contaiment leakage rate test (specification 4.4.1.1) by a visual inspection of these surfaces. This inspection shall be performed prior to the Type A containment leakage rate test. Any abnormal degradation must be documented.

4.4.2.1.4 Tendon Surveillance Previous Inspections The tendon surveillance shall include the reexamination of all abnormalities (i.e., concrete scaling, cracking, grease leakage, etc.) discovered in the previous inspection to detemine whether conditions have stabilized. The inspection program shall be modified accordingly if obvious deteriorating conditions are observed.

4.4.2.1.5 Inspection for Crack Growth at Dome Tendons in the Ring Girder Anchorage Areas Concrete around the dome tendon anchorage areas shall be inspected for crack growth during ten and 15 year inspections by monitoring cracks greater than 0.005 inch in width. Select as a minimum nine dome tendon anchoring areas having concrete cracks with crack widths 0.005 inch. In the selection of dome tendon anchoring areas to be monitored, preference shall be given to those areas having cracks greater than 0.005 inch in width. The width, depth (if depths can be measured with simple existing plant instruments, (i.e., feeler gauges, wires) and length of the selected cracks shall be measured and mapped by charting. This inspection may be discontinued, if the concrete cracks show no sign of growth. If, however, these inspections indicate crack growth, an investigation of the causes and safety impact should be performed.

4-36 Amendment No. 59 '

  • 4.4.2.1.6 Reports
a. Within 3 months after the completion of each tendon surveillance a special report shall be submitted to the NRC Region I Administrator. This Report will include a section dealing with trends for the rate of prestress loss as compared to the predicted rate for the duration of the plant life (af ter an adequate number of surveillances have been complete d).
b. Reports submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73 shall include a description of the tendon condition, the condition of the concrete (especially at tendon anchorages), the inspection procedures, the tolerances on cracking, and any corrective actions taken.
