. RSNGS ANNUAt. RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY DECEMBER 1997 -

INTRODUCTION Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station (RSNGS) Unit No.1 is located in Sacramento County, Calitomia approximately 25 miles southeast of Sacramento and 26 miles nodh-northeast of Stockton.

1 Rancho Seco Unit No.1 began commercial operation on April 17,1975. The single unit on the Rancho Seco site is a pressurized water reactor supplied by Babcock and Wilcox. The rated capacity is 963

- gross megawatts electrical. Because of a public vote on June 6,1989, the District shutdown the Rancho seco Nuclear Generating Station and completed defueling operations on December 8,1989.

This Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) provides a summary of gaseous and liquid efflueni reieases made from Rancno Seco during the period January 1 through December 31,1997.

Also presented in this report is the projected radiological Impact from these releases and a summary of 4 solid radwaste ship....its.

This report has been prepared by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to meet the requirements of Rancho Seco Technical Spacification D6.9.3 and Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Step 6.15. It is presented it' accordance with the format of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.21 The radiation doses reported in this ARERR are calculated for a hypotheticalindividual who receives the maximum possible

,- exposure at or beyond the applicable Site Boundary.

Releases of radioactivity in gaseous and liquid effluents during this report period did not exceed the limits of 10 CFR 20 or the numerical guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix 1. A 40 CFR 190 dose evaluation is not required because radioactive effluent releases did not exceed twice the numerical guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix 1.

8. MAXIMUM EFFLUENT CONCENTRATIONS
1. Gaseous Effluents The concentrations listed in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1 (alr) are not directly used in calculations for determining permissible gaseous effluent release rates. The annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 for unrestricted areas are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1. ODCM Technical e Requirement dose rate limits (mrem /yr) for gaseous effluents are provided to ensure that the dose rate from gaseous effluents at any time at the Site Boundary for Gaseous Effluents will

. be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 for unrestricted areas. These dose rate limits (listed above in part A) are used for determining permissible gaseous effluent release rates.

2. Llquid Effluents 4

The concentrallen values listed in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2 Column 2 are used in calculations to determine permissible liquid discharge flow rates. The most conservative Maximum Effluent Concentration (MEC) value for each radionuclide detected in the liquid effluent sample (excluding dissolved or entrained noble gases) is uud in the calculations.

The Auxillary Building RadWaste Vent Radiation Monitor, R 15546A, was out of service between April 29,1997 and September 8,1997 because of sample flow and instrumentation problems. Radiological Effluent was not re' eased from the Auxillary Building RadWaste Vent during the year 1997, intermittent communication between the Interim On Site Storage Building Radiation Monitor, R 15106, and Radiation Monitor Computer, H 4DRM caused by defective hardware resulted in R 15106 being out of service from April 29,1997 through July 24,1997 and September 3, 1997 to December 10,1997. Four releases totaling approximately 43 hours4.976852e-4 days <br />0.0119 hours <br />7.109788e-5 weeks <br />1.63615e-5 months <br /> occurred, using compensa,ary monitoring measures, during the outages.

The Reactor Building Radiation Monitor, R-15044, was inoperable from December 19,1996 through February 5,1997 because the power supply was removed and placed into Radiation Monitor R 15045, Auxiliary Building Stack. The power supply in monitor R 15045 had failed and an exchange was made bes use Reactor Building Purges are normally performed once per quarter. The Reactor Building was not purged while the monitor was out of service.

Radiation Monitor R 15044 was also inoperable for more than 30 days between March 24,

1997 and June 16,1997 due to a detector failure. Two purges occurred, using compensatory monitoring measures, during this outage One purge lasted only 9 minutes while the other release continued for about 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.

JANUARY . DECEMBER 1997 lL ESTIMATION OF ERROR The methods for establishing error estimates included review of applicable station procedures, inspection of sampling equipment, engineering estimates, statistical applications, review of calibration setpoMt data, and communication with plant personnel. The various sources of error (s) in reported values of gaseous l effluents, liquid effluents, end solid waste are assumed to be independent, and thus the total error is calculated according to the formula:

1 Total Error = gi2 + O2 + G3 +U i

! where: c, = relative error associated with component i ,

i i Sources of error for gaseous effluents include fan error (flow), grab sampling, collection, filter efficiency,

! counting, and calibration.

- Sources of error for liquid eff,wnts include RHUT volume, dilution water flow rate, grab sampling, s counting, and calibration.

Sources of error for solid waste include offsite lab smear analysis, dose rate meter calibration, dose rate

, meter reading, Wastetrak dose to-curie calculation, sample volume measurement, gamma spec counting, gamma spec calibration, and waste volume determination.

RSNGS ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY - DECEMBER 1997 111. GASEOUS EFFLUENTS Table lil-A, Gaseous Effluents . Summation of All Releases, provides a detailed summary of gaseous effluent releases per quarter. This table summarizes releases of fission and activation gases, particulates with half-lives groater than 8 days, and tritium. The methodology used to calculate the Percent of ODCM Technical Requirement limit is as follows:

{(F )( Avg Rel Rate)(X / Q)(Dose Factor))

~ '

(Dose Rate Limit) where:

Fi = The fraction of the total number of Curies of nuclide i out of the total curies in that category for that quarter (unitless).

NOTE: F. always equals 1.0 for H-3 because it is the only nuclide in the category.

(Total Curies per category per quaner)

Avg Rel Rate = -

(# seconds in the quarter)

X/Q = A default dispersion factor determined to be conservative when compared to the use of actual data (sec/m3).

Dose Factor = The values derived for each nuclide i from NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 (KI, Ll+1.1Mi, or Ralj). (Units in (mrem /yr)/(pCl/m3))

Dose Rate Limit = The Technical Requirement (i.e., Regulatory) limits for dose rate listed in Section i of this report (mrem /yr).

NOTE: Particulates with half lives less thar. 8 days are not included in this calculation.

The meH1 odology used to calculate the Estimated Total Error (%) in Table lil-A is presented in Section ll of this report.

Table ill-B, Gaseous Effluents Ground Level Releases, provides a complete quarterly summary of the amount of radioactivity (Cl) released per radionuclide in each quarter. Data from continuous and batch releases are provi6ad for fission gases, particulates, and tritium. Data reported for batch releases results only from unplanned releases.

Table lil C, Gaseous Effluents - Typical Lower Limits of Detection, provides a listing of the typicallower limit of detection (LLD) concentrations in pCl/cc for various radionuclides.

Tabh Ill-D, Radiological Impact on Men Due to Gaseous Effluent Releases, provides a summary of calculated radiation doses delivered to a maximum exposed hypothetical individual at the Site Boundary for Gaseous Effluents (actual doses will be assessed in the 1997 Annual REMP Report). The maximum calculated organ dose, gamma air dose, and beta air dose are listed for each quarter along with an annual total. The dose due to direct radiation based on Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) results is also listed. Presented in this table for each category is a comparison versus ODCM Technical Requirement dose limits with 'he exception of direct radiation measurements.
