Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program U~- field samples are analyzed when near field results are inconsistent vnti prevous measurements and radioactivity is confirmed as havin orige in airbome emuents released from Ae station, or at the discretion of the Radiation Protechon Director.
Airbome particulate sample filters shall be anayred for gross beta radMvi*y 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or more after sampling to allow for radon and thoron daughter decay if gross beta activity in air particulate samples is greater than 10 times the yearty mean of control samples, gamma isotopic analysis shall be pe;1ormed on the individual samples.
Gamma isotopic analysis means the identification and quantification of gamma emitting radios urdides that may be attributable to the emuents from the station.
l-131 analysis means the analytical separation and counting procedure are speofic for this radionuclide.
The fish monitoring locations are not identified exactly on the map. The points D-28 and D-46, represent the general area where the samples are taken.
Distances provided for sampling / monitor locations are approximate.
7-The analysis requirements listed are for the REMP-required samples only. The special samples require only quarterfy gamma isotopic analyses on the composite filters.
These samp!ing locations do not constitute REMP samples, but are special samples required per Section 11.5.1.10 of the UFSAR. They may be discor.tinued pending revision of the aforementioned see'aon O

RADIOACTIVE LIQUID WASTE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PROGRAM TABLE NOTATIQB The LLD is defined, for purposes of these specifications, as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a " rear signal.
For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:
LLD=
4.66S __
E
- V + 2.22 x 10'+ Y. exp (-AAt)
Where:
LLD = the lower limit of detection (microCuries per unit mass or volume),
s = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),
E = the counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),
V = the sample size (units of mass or volume),
2.22 x 10' = the number of disintegrations per minute per microcurie, Y = the fractional radicchemical yield, wheti applicable.
A= the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide (sec "), and at = the elapsed time between the micpoint of sample collection and the time of counting (sec).
Typical values of E. V, Y, and At should be used in the calculation.

(k=value of tne t statistic from the single-tailed t distribution at a significance level of 0.95% and infinite degrees of freedom. This means that the LLD result represents a 95% detection probability with a 5% probability of falsely concluding that the nuclide present when it is not or that the nuclide is not present when it is.)

(units consistent with A)
RT = elapsed real time, or the duration of the sample count, (units consistent with A)
T = sample deposition time, or the duration of analyte collection onto the sample media, (unit consistent with A)
The LLD may be determined using in'.talled radioanalytical software, if available. In addition to determining the correct number of channels over which to total the background sum, utihzing the software s ability to perforrr my corrections (i.e. during sample collection, from sample collection to start of analysis and during counting), this alternate method will result in a more accus, a determination of the LLD.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a before the fact limit and not as an after the fact limit for e particular measurement.

A RADIOACTIVE LIQUID WASTE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PROGRAM
()
16BLE NOTATION A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid samples is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen which is representative of the liquids released.
If the alarm setpoint of the service water efficent monitor as determined in the ODCM is exceeded, the frequency of anarysis shall be increased to daily until the condition no longer exists.
A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. Prior to sampling for analyses, each batch shall be isolated and then thoroughly mixed to assure representative sampling. A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a nondiscrete volume; e g.,
from a volume or system that has an input flow during the release.
The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification applies exclusively are the following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65, Co-58, Mo-99, Cs 134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144.
Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable by gamma ray spectrometry together with the above nuclides, shall be also identified and reported when the actual analysis is performed on a sample. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses shall not be reported as being present at the LLD level for that nuclide.
The dissolved and entrained gases (gamma emitters) for which the LLD specification applies exclusively are the fo!!owing radionuclides: Kr-87, Kr 88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138.
Other dissolved and entrained gases (gamma emitters) which are measurable and identifiable by gamma ray spectrometry, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported g
when an actual analysis is performed on a sample. Nuc1 des which are below the LLD for the x
analyses shall not be reported as being present Lt the LLD level for that nuclide.

1.
Concentration This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site to unrestricted areas will be less than the concentration levels specified in Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 to 10CFR20.1001-20.2402.
2.
D.ose This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections ll.A, Ill.A and IV.A of Appendix 1,10 CFR Part 50. The operational requirements implements the guides set forth in Section li.A of Appendix 1. The statements provide the required operating flexibihty and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable". The dose calculations in the ODCM implement the requirements tra Section Ill.A of Appendix l that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by r,alculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The equations specified in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be 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 1.113," Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidental and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purpose of implementing Appendix I", April 1977.
NUREG-0113 provides methods for dose calculations consistent with Reg Guide 1.109 and 1.113.
3.
Liouid Waste Treatment The operability of the liquid radwaste treatment system ensures that this system will be available for use whenever liquid effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as 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 design objective Section 11.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.

The purpose of isolating the rnechanical vacuum line is to limit release of activity from the main condenser. During an accident, fission products would be transported frem the reactor through the main steam line to the main condenser. The fission product radioactivity would be sensed by the main steamline radioactivity monitors which initiate isolation.

Where:
LLD = the lower hmrt of detection (microCuries per uriit mass or volume),

E = the counting efficiency (counts per oisintegration),
V = the sample size (units of mass or volume),
2.22 x 10' = the number of disintegrations por minute per raicroCurie, Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable, A= the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide (sec "), and at = the elapsed time between the midpoint of sample collection and the time of counting (sec).
Typical values of E, V, Y, and at should be used in the calculation.

Decay = e* [ ART /(1-e"))[AT,/(1-e'"')), (if applicable)
A = radioactive decay constant, (units consistent with At, RT and T )
At = ' delta t", or the elapsed time between sampWcollection or the midpoint of sample collection and the time the count is started, depending on the type of sample, (units consistentwith A)
RT = elapsed real time, or the duration of the sample count, (units consistent with A)
T = samr'o deposition time, or the duration of analyte collection onto the sample media, (unit consistent with A)
The LLD may be determined using Installed radioanalytical softvtare, if available. In addition to determining the correct number of channels over which to total the background sum, utilizing the software's ability to perform decay corrections (i.e. during sample collection, from s inple collection to start of analysis and during counting), this attemate method will result in e more accurate determination of the LLD.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a before the fact limit and not as an after the fact limit for a particular measurement.

The release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the unrestricted area boundary to less than or equal to 500 mrem / year to the total body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem / year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyloid dose rate above background via ble inhalato" pinhway to less than or equal to 1500 mremfyear.

The ODCM calculational methods specified in the surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section Ill.A of Appendix l that conformance with the guides of Appendix l be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an inolvidual through appropriate pathways is un!ikely to be substantially underestimated. The ODCM calculational methods approved by NRC for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are required to be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109.

Revision 1, July 1977. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the histoncal overage atmospheric conditions. The release rate limits for radbeodines, radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the unrestricted area. The pathways which were examined in the development of these limits were: 1) individualinhalation of airboms radionuclides,2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetat on with subsequent consumption by man and 3) depor,ition onto grassy areas where milk animals graze with consumption of the milk by man.

Gaseous Waste Treatment The operability of the gaseous waste treatment which reduces amounts or concentrations of radioactive materials ensures that the system will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment pnor to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropnate portions of this system be operable when specified provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable".

This monitoririg program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix 1 to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the radiological eff,uent monitoring program by verifying that the menswable concer.tratione 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.
The initially specifed monitoring program will be effective for at least the f;rst 3 years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operatonal experience.
The required detection capabilities for envircnmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs required by Table 12.5-3 are considsrer) optimum for routine environmental macsurements in indussial laboratories. It shouic be recognized that the LLD is defined as a before the fact limit repcesenting the capab!h'y of a measurement system and not as an after the fact hmit for a particular measurement.

The nuclides on this 14st are not the only nuclides intended to be considered. Other peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the above nuclides, shall also be analyzed and reported in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
(2)
Required detection capabilities for thermoluminescent dosimeters used for environmental measurements shall be in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 4.13.
(3)
The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is defined, for purposes of these specifications, as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with 95% probab!!ity with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a *real" signal.
For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation, the LLD is defined as follows:
4.66 S, + 3/t, LLD
=
(E) (V) (2.22) (Y) (exp (-ht))
4.66 S.
LLD (E) (V) (2.22) (Y) (exp (-ht))

=
the elapsed time between sample collection, or end of the sample collection period, and the time of counting (sec).
Typical values of E V, Y, and at should be used in the calculation.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a before the fact hmit representing the capabihty of a measurement system and not as an after the fact hmit for a particular measurement.
Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions.
Occasionally, background fluctuations, unavoidable smah sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unschievable. In such cases, the contributing factors shall be identified and described in the Annua! Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
Altemate I i n Methodoloay An attemate methodology for LLD determination follows and is similar to the above LLD equation:
(2.71 + 4.65VB)+ Decay LLD =
pd E q b Y t (2.22E06)
Where:
B = background sum (counts)
E = counting efficiency, (counts detected / disintegrations) q = sample quantity, (mass or volume) b = abundance, (if applicable)
Y = fractional radiochemical yield or collection efficiency, (if apphcable) t a count time (minutes) 2.22E06 = number of disintegrations per minute per microcurie (2.71 + 4.65VB) = k' + (2k V 2 V 8), and k = 1.645.
(k=value of the i statistic f,om the single-tailed t distribution at a significance level of 0.95% and infinite darees of freedom. This means that the LLD result represents a 95% detection probability with a 5% probabihty of falsely concluding that the nuclide present when it is not or that the nuchde is not present when it is.)

The LLD may be determined using installed radioanalytical software, if available. l'1 addition to determining the correct number of channels over which to total the background sum, utilizing the software's ability to perform decay corrections (i.e. during sample collection, from sample collection to start of analysis and during counting), this attemate method will result in a more accurate determination of the LLD.
It should be recognized that the LLO is defined as a before the fact limit and t'ot as an after the fact limit for a particular measurement.

If no dnnking water pathway exists, the value of 15 pCill r,',ay be used.
(5)
A value of 0.5 pCili sha!! be used when tr,e animals are on pasture (May through October) and a value of 5 pCi/l shall be used at all other times (November through April).
(6)
This LLD applies only when the analytical separation and counting procedure are specific for this radionuclide.
(7)
This LLD is the minimum allowable, however, vendors performing environmental sample analyses off-site will be required to meet an LLD of 200 pCill.

For dose calculation, a garden will be assumed at the nearest residence.
Anchenbihtv: At all times.
Action
- 1. With a Land Use Census identifying a location (s) that yields a calculated dose or dose commitment, via the same exposure pathway 20% greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained in accordance with Secten 12.5.1, add the new location (s) within 30 days to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program given in Chapter 11. The sampling location (s), excluding the control location, having the lowest calculated dosa or dose commitment (s), via the same exposure pathway, may be deleted from this monitoring program after October 31 of the year in which this Land Use Census was conducted. Submit in the next Annual Radological Environmer,tal Operating Report documentation for a change in the ODCM including a revised figure (s) and table (s) for the ODCM reflecting the new location (s) with information supporting the change in samphng locations.
- This requbement may be reduced according to geographical limitations; e.g. at a lake site where some sector's will be over water.
"The nearest industrial facihty shall also be documented if closer than the nearest residence.
Surveillance Reauirements 1
B The Lsnd Use Census shall be conducted during the growing season, between June 1 and October 1, at least once per 12 months using that information that will provide the best results, such as by a door to-door survey, aerial survey, or by consulting local agriculture authorities. The results of the Land Use Consus shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
Bases 12.5.2.C This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyono the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modifications to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program given in the ODCM are made lf required by the results of this census.
This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix l to 10 CFR Part 50. An annual garden census will not be required since the licensee will assume that there is a garden at the nearest residence in each sector for dose calculations.
