a. At least two independent samples are analyzed in accordanne with Specification 4.15.1.1.1. r

b. At least two technically qualified individuals independently verify the release rate calculations and discharge valving.

Otherwise, suspend release of radioactive effluents via this pathway. If the channel remains inoperable for over 30 days, an explanation of the circumstances shall be included in the next semi-annual effluent release report.

ACTION 101 - With the numbers of channels OPERABLE less than required by the Minimum Channelu OPERABLE requirement, effluent releases via this pathway may continue, provided that once per shift grab samples are collected and analyzed for gross radioactivity (beta or gamma) at a Lower Limit of Detection of at least 10-7 uCi/ml. If the channel remains inoperable for over 30 days, an explanation of the circumstances shall be included in the next semi-annual effluent release report.

ACTION 102 - With the number of channels OPERABLE less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, effluent releases via this pathway may continue, provided the flowrate is estimated at least once per 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months during actual releases. If the channel remains inoperable for over 30 days, an explanation of the circumstances shall be included in the next semi-annual effluent release report.

ACTION 103 - With the number of channels OPERABLE less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, assure that the service water system effluent system monitor is OPERABLE.

i 1.2 MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE CONCENTRATIONS I The MPC values used in determining allowable 3

liquid radwaste release rates and concentrations for principal gamma emitters, I-131, tritium, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 are taken from 10CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2.

For dissolved or entrained noble gases in liquid radwaste, the MPC is taken from Technical Specification 3.15.1.1 (Unit 1) and 3.11.1.1 (Unit

2) as 2.0E-04.uci/ml.

For gross alpha in liquid radwaste, the MPC is taken from 10CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Note 2.b as 3.0E-08 uCi/ml.

Further, for all the above radionuclides or categories of radioactivity, the overall MPC fraction is determined in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Note 1.

The method whereby the MPC fraction is used to determine release rates and liquid radwaste effluent radiation monitor setpoints is described in Section 1.3 of this report.

1.3 MEASUREMENTS AND APPROXIMATIONS OF TOTAL RADIOACTIVITY Prior to release of any tank containing liquid radwaste, and following the required recirculation, samples are collected and analyzed

in accordance with Technical Specification Tables ,

4.15.1-1 (Unit 1) and 4.11.1-1 (Unit 2). A sample from each tank planned for release is analyzed for principal gamma emitters, I-131, and dissolved and entrained noble gases by gamma spectrometry.

Monthly and quarterly composites are prepared for ,

analysis by extracting aliquots from each sample :

taken from tanks which are released. Liquid radwaste sample analyses are performed as follows:

Radionuclide concentrations, safety factors, dilution stream flow rate, and liquid effluent

If the release is not permissible appropriate warnings will be included on the prerelease printout. If the release is permissible it is approved by the Chemistry Foreman on duty. The pertinent information is

li transferred manually from the prerelease printout to a one-page release permit which is forwarded

_/ to Radwaste Operations. When the release is g( i completed the release permit is returned from Radwaste Operations with actual release data included. These data are input to the computer k and a postrelease printout is generated. The

> postrelease printout contains actual release rates, actual release concentrations and quantities, actual dilution flow, and calculated

doses to an individual.

1.4 LIQUID EFFLUENT RELEASE DATA Regulatory Guide 1.21 Tables 2A and 2B are found

, , in this report as Table 1-2a for Unit 1 and Table p 1-2b for Unit 2; and Table 1-3a for Unit 1 and 1-3b for Unit 2.

The values for the four categories of Tables 1-2a and 1-2b are calculated and the Tables completed as follows:

t l

1. Fission and activation products - The total release values (not including tritium, gases, and alpha) are comprised of the sum of the measured individual radionuclide

! activities. This sum is for each batch t

s released to the river for the respective

'* /

k

'I, -l-I

~

4 quarter. Porcent of applicable limit is

-determined from a mixed nuclide MPC fraction calculation. The average concentration for each nuclide over all released batches is divided by the corresponding' individual MPC value. The sum over all nuclides of the i

Ci/MPCi ratios times 100 is the percent of applicable limit for effluent releases during the quarter.

2. Tritium - The measured tritium '

F concentrations in the monthly ' composite samples are used to calculate the total release and average diluted concentration during each period. . Average diluted '

concentration divided by the MPC limit, 3.0E-03 uCi/ml, is converted to percent to give the percent of applicable limit.

3. Dissolved and entrained gases -

Concentrations of dissolved and entrained gases in liquid effluents are measured by germanium spectroscopy on a one liter sample

-from each liquid radwaste batch. The average concentration of dissolved or entrained noble gases for all released batches is divided by the MPC value stated in Technical Specifications 3.15.1.1 and 3.11.1.1 (2.0E-04 uCi/ml) to determine the MPC fraction. The result x100 is the percent of applicable limit for noble gases in liquid effluent releases during the quarter. Radioisotopes of iodine in any form are also determined during the isotopic analysis for each batch; therefore, a

~

separate analysis for possible gaseous forms is not performed because it would not provide additional information.

l 4. Gross alpha radioactivity - The measured l

gross alpha concentrations in the monthly composite samples are used to calculate the total release of alpha radioactivity.

The noble gas grab sample analysis results are used along with maximum expected release flow rates from each of-the four vents to calculate monitor setpoints for the gaseous effluent monitors serving the four release points, to es6ure that the limits of Technical specifications 3.15.2.1.a (Unit 1) or 3.ll.2.1.a (Unit 2) are not exceeded. Calculation of monitor setpoints is described in the Plant Hatch ODCH.

Mith each release period released radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are calculated.

Cumulative dose results are tabulated along with percent of Techn.ical Specification limits (3.15.2.2 and 3,15.2.3 JUnit 1); 3.11.2.2 and ;

3.11.2.3 (Unit 2) for each release, for the current quatter and year.

After each calendar quarter (13 weeks) a summary of waste gas releases from the four vents is coepiled for pre,paration of the Semiannual Effluent Relaase Report required by Technical Opecifications 6 9.1.8 and 6.9.1.9 and described in RFC Regulatory Guide 1.21.

The methods for determining released quantities of radioactivity, dose r.a t.e s and cumulative doces are as to11 owns

1. F15 STOW AND ACTIVATION GAG The radionuclide-specific released radioactivity la determined from sample analyses results collected an described above and average release flow rates over the period represented by the collected s a y. p l e ,

Instantaneous dose rates due to noble gases and due to radiciodines, tritium, and particulates are calculated (with computer assistance).

Calculated dose rates are compared to the dose rate limits specified in 3.15.2.1.a (Unit 1) and 3.11.2.1.a (Unit 2) for noble gases; and i

' 3.15.2.1.b (Unit 1) and 3.11.2.1.b (Unit 2) for radiciodine, tritium, and particulates. Dose rato calculation methodology is presented in the Plpnt Hatch ODCH.

I i

Eeta and gamma air deses due to noble gasen a.re calculated for the location in the unrestricted -

area with the potential for ths highest exposure due to gaseous releases. Air doses -are ,

calculated for each release period and cuma10tive totals are kept for each unit for the curreht calendar quarter and ye.ar. Cumulative air doses are compared to the done limits specified in Technical Specifications 3.15,2.2 (Unit 1) and 3.11.2.2 (Unit 2) . Current percent of technical specification limits are shown on the printout for each release period. Air dose calculation methodology is presented in the Plant Hatch ODCM.

2. RAD 10 IODINE, TRITIUM, AND PARTICULATE RELEAS.SS Released guantities of radioiodines ace determined from the weekly samples and release flow rates for the four release points. i Radioiodine concentrations are determined by gamma spectroscopy.

Released quantities of particulates are determined from tne weekly (filter) samples and release flow rates for the four release points.

Gamma spectroscopy is used to quantify ,

concentrations of principal gamma emitters.

After each calendar month the particulate filters from each vent are combined, fused, and strontium separation is performed. Since sample flows and vent flows are almost constant over each monthly period the filters from each vent can be dissolved together. Decay corrections are made back to the middle of the quarterly collection f period, where significant Sr-89 or Sr-90 .is not detected, LLD's are calculated. Strontium concentrations are input to the composite file of the computer to be used in release, dose rate and individual dose calculations.

Tritium samples are obtained monthly from each vent by passing the sample atream from a cold e trap immersed in liquid nitrogen or an acetone <

and ice mixture. The grams of wa ter vapor /ctibic

foot gas is measured upstream of the cold trap in order to alleviate the difficulties in !

determining water vapor collection efficiencico.

The tritium camples are analyzed by an

independent laboratory and results are fuenished .

In uci/nl of water. The tritium concentration in water in converted to tritium concentration in air and this value is input into the composite '

file of the computer to be used in release, doce ;

rate, and individual dose calculations. i

\

Dose rates due to radioiodine, tritium, and j particulates are calculated for a hypothetical child, exposed to the inhalation pathway, at the location in the unrestricted area where the potential dose rate is expected to be the highest. cose rates are calculated for each release point, for each release period, and the i total dose rate from all four release points are compared to the dose cate limits specified in Technical Specifications 3 15.2.1.b (Unit 1) or '

3.ll.2.1.b ( U r. i t 2) .

Individual doses due to radioicdine, tritium, and particulates are calculated ior the critical receptor, which for Plant Eatch is an infant exposed to the grass-cow-milk, 13halation, and ground-plane pathways. Individuol doses are calculated for occh release period ar,d curulative totals are kept for eacn unit for the current calendar quarter and year. Cumulative Individual dosen are compared to the dose limits specified in Technical Specifications 3.15.2.3 (Unit 1) and 3.11.2.? (Unit 2). Current percent of technical specification liraitu are chown on tme printout for each release period.

3. GROSS ALPHA RELEASE The gross alpha release to computed each month by counting the particulate filtere each week for gross alpha activity in a proportional counter.

The four or five weeks' nunbers are then recorded on a data sheet and the settvsty is summed at the

, er.d at the month. This concentration is input to '

t3e composite file of the computer and is used for celease calculations.

4. ERROR ESTIMATES Regulatory G u.id e 1.21 requires that estimated i

total error lu analysis technigaea be reported.

These est.imates are required for the total fission and activation gas release, total I-131 release, total pa rticulates with balf-lives

904 2.3 GASEOUS EFFLUENT RELEASE DATA Regulatory Guide 1.21 Tables IA, 18, and 1C are found in this report as Tables 2-2a-c, 2-3a-c, and 2-4a-c.

Data are presented on a quarterly basis as required by Regulatory Guide 1.21.

To complete Tables 2-2a-c, total release for each of the four categories (fission and activation gases; iodines; particulates; and tritium) was divided by the number of seconds in the quarter to obtain a release rate in uCi/second for each category.

However, the applicable Technical Specification limits are not in terms of release rate in uCi/second but in terms of dose rate in mrem / year, as presented in Technical Specifications 3.15.2.1 (Unit 1) and 3.11.2.1 (Unit 2). Noble gases are limited an specified in 3.15.2.1.a and 3.ll.2.1.a. The other three categories (tritium, radioiodines, and particulates) are limited as a group as specified in 3.15.2.1.b and 3.ll.2.1.b. Further the limits specified in Technical Specifications 3.15.2.1 and 3.11.2.1 are site limits, not unit limits. Dose rates due to noble gas releases and due to radioiodine, tritium, and particulates are presented in Table 2-5 along with percent of technical specification limits.

Gross alpha radioactivity is reported in Tables 2-2a, 2-2b, and 2-2c as curies released in each quarter.

Limits for cumulative beta and gamma air doses, due to noble gases, are specified in Technical Specifications 3.15.2.2 (Unit 1) and 3.11.2.2 (Unit 2). These limits are unit limits. Cumulative air doses are presented in Tables 2-6a and 2-6b, along with percent of technical specification limits.

]

Limits for cumulative individual doses, due to radiolodine, tritium, and particulates, are specified in Technical Specifications 3.15.2.3 (Unit 1) and 3.11.2.3 (Unit 2) . 'These limits are also unit limits. Cumulative individual doses are presented in Tables 2-7a and 2-7b, with percent of technical specification limits.

2.4 RADIOLOGICAL IMPACT DUE TO GASEOUS RELEASES Dose cates due to noble gas releases were calculated for.the site in accordance with Technical' Specifications 3/4.15.2.1.a (Unit 1) and 3/4.11.2.1.a (Unit 2). Results are. presented in Table 2-5. Dose rates due to radioiodine, tritium, and particulates in gaseous releases were calculated in accordance with Technical Specifications 3/4.15.2.1.b (Unit 1) and 3/4.11.2.1.b (Unit 2) . These results are also in Table 2-5.

Cumulative air doses due to noble gas releases were calculated for each unit in accordance with Technical Specification 3/4.15.2.2 (Unit il and 3/4.11.2.2 (Unit

2) . These results are presented in Tables 2-6a and 2-6b.

Cumulative doses to an individual duc to radioiodine, tritium ,

and particulates were calculated for each unit in accordance with Technical Specifications 3/4.15.2.3 (Unit 1) and 3/4.11.2.3 (Unit 2). These results are presented in Tables 2-Ja and 2-7b.

Dose rates and doses were calculated using the methodology presented in the plant Hatch Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

4. CHANGES TO THE PLANT HATCH ODCM Technical Specification 6.9.1.8 requires in par ~t that changes to the Plant Hatch Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) be reported to the Commission in the next Semiannual Effluent Release Report.

On January 30, 1986, the Plant Review Board (PRB) approved two changes to the Plant Hatch Offuite Dese Calculation Manual (ODCM). These changes are ,

presented in subsections 4.1 and 4.2 along with copies of the affected pages of the Plant Hatch ODCM.

4.1 CHANGE TO PAGE 1.1-8 OF THE PLANT HATCH ODCM Change Note 2 to step 5 of section 1.1.1, page 1.1-8, by deleting the statement "If DF<1, A= (1/DF)."

Rationale for change:

This is a superfluous condition wnich was inadvertently left in Note 2 following review of the Draft ODCM. The determination of the value of A as described in Step 5 (prior to Note 2) is adequate and sufficient to assure that LRW monitcr setpoints are determined to ensure that the limits of Technical Specifications 3.15.1.1 8( Un i t 1) and 3.11.1.1 (Unit 2) will not be exceeded.

Effect on dose calculations.and setpoint determinations This change has no effect on doue calcuations.

This change does not affect the basic methodology for determining LRW monitor setpoints. However, it clarifies the methodology presented by removing a superfluous condition.

(The affected page is attached.)

S

ATTACHMENT TO SUBSECTIGN 4.1 s

NOTE 1: The calculated setpoint concentration, c, establishes the base value for the monitor setpoint. However, in establishing the actual monitor setpoint for a particular monitor, background radiation icvels must be considered. Normally, the actual monitor setpoint includes the calculated setp'oint value plus background. Background levels must be controlled such that radioactivity levels in the effluent stream being monitored can

' be accurately assessed at or below the calculated setpoint value.

NOTE 2: If Of < 1, * - (1/DFrf As stated earlier, if DF = 0, the f I

radiation monitor setpoint should be established as close to background as practicable to prevent spurious alarms and yet alarm should an inadvertent radioactive release occur.

If calculated setpoint values are near actual concentrations planned for-release, it may b,e impractical to set the monitor alarm based on this value.

In this case a new setpoint may be calculated by decreasing the effluent

( flow, increasing the dilution flow, or by decreasing { Cfurther t by processing of the liquid radwaste planned for release, and by following the methodology presented in Steps 2, 3, and 4. ,

Within the limits of the conditions stated above, monitor setpoints for .:

liquid radwaste effluent radiation monitors may be determined as follows:

Lionid Radwaste Effluent Radiation Monitor 1011-N007 (Unit 1) or 2011-N007 (Unit 2)

Perform Step 2, solving Equation 3 for DF using the appropriate values in the concentration term from the sample analyses for the particular waste tank batch to be discharged. Then perform Steps 3, 4, and 5 to determine the monitor setpoint.

(

s HATCH 00CM, REV 1 5/11/84 1.1-8

4.2 CHANGE TO PAGE 3.0-4 OF THE PLANT HATCH ODCM Change the Table Notation to Table 3.0-1, page 3.0-4, by deleting the phrase "O.$ miles for" in'the description of the location of Station 172.

)

Rotionale for changer The actual location of Station 172 is approximately 2.3 miles for riverwater, sediment, and clanc. The r6ference to the location of 0.5 miles for sediment and clans is erroneous.

Ef f ect on dose calculations and setpoint determinations:

This ch&nge has no effect on dose calculations bor setpoint determinations.
