e. Solid Waste: Gamma spectral analysis of a representative sample of each waste shipment.

Scaling factors established from off-site composite sample analyses to estimate concentration of non-gamma emitters. Low activity trash shipments, curie content estimated by dose rate measurement and application of appropriate scaling factors.

f. Error Estimation Method: Overall error for sampling and analysis estimated by combining individual errors using error propagation methods. This process is composed of determinate and undeterminate errors. ,

i Determinate - Pump flowrates, volume measurements and analysis collection yields Undeterminate - Random counting error estimated using accepted statistical calculations I

NEW YORK POWER AUTIIORITY JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT EFFLUENT AND WASTE DISPOSAL SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JULY 1998-DECEMBER 1998 ADDENDUM 1 ASSESSMENT OF RADIATION DOSES TO THE PUBLIC JANUARY - DECEMBER 1998 l

1. INTRODUCTION

,! The James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Radiological Effluent Technical I- Specifications (RETS) require an assessment of the radiation doses to the public due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents. This assessment of doses to the public is based on accepted methodologies found in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).

2. DOSE LIMITS A. DOSE FROM LIOUID EFFLUENTS (RETS 2.3)

Applicability Applies to doses from radioactive material in liquid effluents.

Obiective To ensure that the dose limitations of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, are met. l Specifications

, The dose to a member of the public from radioactive materials released from the plant in liquid effluents to unrestricted areas shall be limited  ;

as follows: i

1. During any calendar quarter, limited to less than or equal to 1.5 mrem to the whole body and to less than or equal to 5 mrem to any organ.

1

2. During any calendar year, limited to less than or equal to 3 mrcm to the whole body and to less than or equal to 10 mrem to any organ.

3. DOSE ASSESSMENT j!

A. METHODOLOGY  ;

The assessment of radiation doses to the public due to radioactive liquid and  !

gaseous emuents is performed in accordance with the ODCM. The ODCM f is based on methodologies and models suggested by the " Guidance Manual l

For Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for l Nuclear Power Plants" (NUREG-0133) and " Calculation of Annual Doses

, to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Emuents for the purpose of l l Evaluating Compliance with 10CFR50, Appendix I" (Regulatory Guide l' 1.109).

4 B. ASSUMPTIONS

Dose calculations are performed using formulas and constants defined in the 1 ODCM. Specific radioactive release activities used in the dose calculations are listed in the Semi-Annual Radioactive Efiluent Release Reports (1.21 Reports) for the period of January 1,1998 to December 31,1998. Historical meteorological data was used to generate tables of average dispersion 4

factors. Locations ofinterest were identified from the 1998 land use census.

Dispersion factors and locations ofinterest used in performing the dose j calculations are listed in Table 2.

C. ASSESSMENT RESULTS

SUMMARY

1 i

The calculated doses to the public due to radioactive effluents are listed in 1'

Table 1. The calculated doses are small fractions of their respective dose limits.

40 CFR 190 DOSE ASSESSMENT A. METHODOLOGY i i

{

f Evaluation to demonstrate compliance with the 40 CFR 190 dose limits must be performed when the doses calculated for 10 CFR 50 compliance exceed twice their respective limits. When additional dose asmvuent is ,

. required to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR 190 it is performed in i accordance with the ODCM.

B. RESULTS

SUMMARY

)

The cumulative dose contribution from liquid and gaseous effluents for this report period were calculated and are listed in Table 1. The cumulative dose contribution from direct radiation from the reactor unit and from radwaste '

storage tanks is measured by environmental thermoluminescent dosimeters for the report peilod. This data is contained in'the Annual Environmental

' Operating Report He calculated doses from liquid and gaseous effluents are less than twice tiieir respective 10 CFR 50 limits, therefore, additional calculations are not necessary to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR 190 l dose limits (RETS 5.1.b).
