1.0 Discussion

1.1 Purpose and Scope

1.1.1 The purpose of this procedure is to establish the steps necessary to quantify the activity released from the plant under accident conditions in a safe and ef ficient manner.

1.1.2 The type of activity releases considered in this procedure are:

1.1.2.1 Unit Vent 1.1.2.2 Condenser Vacuum Pump 1.1.2.3 Main Steam Line Power Operated Relief Valves (PORV) 1.1.3 The data obtained from the sample analysis will be provided to the RMS computer for dose assessment.

1.2 Definitions 1.2.1 POST ACCIDENT SAMPLING SYSTEM (PASS): A syctem composed of various components that provides the capability to obtain Reactor Coolant System and Containment Atmosphere samples and perform required analyses under Post Accident conditions within 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> from the time a decision is made to sample.

Sampling and Analysis for Release IPCP08-AP-0009 Assessment - Post Accident Rev. O Page 2 of 8 1.2.2 RADIATION MONITORING SYSTEM: The plant system that monitors, quantifies and reports the plant radioactive releases for dose assessment.

1.3 Principle 1.3.1 Samples are obtained from the system making the abnormal release so that a representative isotopic mix may be dete rmined. The isotopic mix is then used to estimate the offsite dose to the public. Determining the release rate during abnormal conditions may mean obtaining samples f rom secondary sources, such as the containment or reactor Coolant.

1.4 Limitations 1.4.1 Only samples from the accident release point need to be obtained.

1.4.2 The samples are listed in order of preference, as the first sample source listed would be the most representative of the actual release rate.

2.0 Prerequisities 2.1 The gamma analysis detection system shall have a current calibration.

3.0 Precautions 3.1 Sample collection, preparation, transport and analysis will be performed under applicable Radiation Work Permits.

3.2. Samples and sample areas may have high dose rates dae to accident conditions. The choice of the sample (s) taAen will be determined by the Health and Safety Services Division.

3.3 Follow the Laboratory Safety Practices of OPCP01-ZA-0017 (Post Accident Sampling and Analysis Program) to minimize personnel dose.

4.0 Procedure 4.1 Obtain a Radiation Work Permit in accordance with OPGP03-ZR-0002 (Radiation Work Permit).
