1.0 Liquid Effluents 1.1 Regulatory Limits /ODCM 1.1.1 Concentration Limits in accordance with Technical Specifications 5.5.4.b and 5.5.4.c, the concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited at all times to ten times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 1 x 10" Ci/mL total l

activity.

l I

1.1.2 Dose Limits The dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive l

materials in liquid effluents released, from each unit, to UNRESTRICTED AREAS l

shall be limited as follows:

l a.

During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrems to the l

whole body and to less than or equal to 5 mrems to any organ, and b.

During any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mrems to the whole l

body and to less than or equal to 10 mrems to any organ.

1.2 Effluent Concentration Limit (ECL)

ECL values used for determining the allowable liquid radwaste release rates and concentrations for the principal gamma emitters,1-131, tritium, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 are taken from 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table ll, Column 2. A tolerance factor of up to 10 is utilized to allow flexibility in establishing practical monitor set points which can accommodate effluent releases at concentrations higher than the ECL values stated in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 11, Column 2.

For disscIved or entrained noble gases in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 1E-04 Ci/mi total activity, For gross alpha in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 2.0E-09 Ci/ml.

For all the above radionuclides or categories of radioactivity, the overall ECL fraction is determined in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B.

The method utilizing the ECL fraction to determine release rates and liquid radwaste effluent radiation monitor set points is described in Subsection 1.3 of this report.

1.3 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity Prior to the release of any tank containing liquid radwaste, and following the required recirculations, samples are collected and analyzed in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Table 2-3 " Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling Program".

A sample from each tank which is planned for release is analyzed for principal gamma emitters,1-131, and dissolved and entrained noble gases by gamma spectroscopy.

Monthly and quarterly composites are prepared for analysis by extracting aliquots from each semple taken from the tanks which are released. Liquid radwaste sample analyses are performed as follows:

MEASUREMENT FREQUENCY METHOD 1.

Gamma Isotopic Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy with computerized data reduction.

2.

Dissolved or entrained Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy noble Oases with computerized data reduction 3.

Tritium Monthly Distillation and Composite liquid scintillation counting 4.

Gross Alpha Monthly Gas flow proportional Composite counting 5.

Sr-89 & Sr-90 Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and gas flow proportional or scintillation counting j

6.

Fe-55 Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and liquid scintillation counting Gamma isotopic measurements are performed using germanium detectors with a resolution of 2.1 kev or lower. A liquid radwaste sample is typically counted for 2000 seconds. A peak search of the resulting gamma ray spectrum is performed by the computer system. Energy and net count data for all significant peaks are determined, and a quantitative reduction or MDC calculation is performed. This ensures that the MDC's are met for the nuclides specified in ODCM Chapter 10 (i.e., Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn 65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141 and Ce-144). The quantitative calculations, corrections for counting time, decay time, sample volume, sample geometry, detector efficiency, baseline counts, branching ratio and MDC calculations, are made based on the counts at the location in the spectrum where the peak for that radionuclide would be located, if present.

Tritium, Gross Alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 are, in some cases, analyzed offsite.

9

The radionuclide concentrations determined by gamma spectroscopic analysis of l

sample taken from a tank for tanks planned for release and the most current s' ample I

analysis results available for tritium, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 are used, along with the corresponding ECL values to determine the ECL fraction. This ECL fraction is used, with appropriate safety factors, tolerance factors, and the minimum I

assured dilution stream flow to calculate maximum permissible release rates and a liquid effluent monitor setpoint. The monitor setpoint is calculated to assure that the limits of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) are not exceeded.

A monitor reading in. excess of the calculated setpoint results in an automatic termination of the liquid radwaste discharge. Liquid effluent discharge is also automatically terminated if the dilution stream flow rate falls below the minimum assured dilution flow rate used in the setpoint calculations and established as a setpoint on the dilution stream flow monitor.

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

radiation monitor calibrations are entered into the computer and a pre-release printout is j

generated. If the release is not permissible, appropriate warnings will be displayed on

]

the computer screen. If the release is permissible, it is approved by the Chemistry Department and sent to the Operations Department for approval and release. When the release is completed, the necessary data from the release (i.e., release volume, etc.) are provided by the Operations Department to the Chemistry Department. These data are l

input to the computer and a post-release printout is generated. The post release printout i

contains the actual release rates, release concentrations and quantities, actual dilution flow, and calculated doses to an individual.

1.4.1 Tables l

l Regulatory Guide 1.21 Tables 2A,28, and 2-C are found in this report as Tables l

1-2A,1-2AA,1-28,1-288,1-2-C, and 1-2-CC. Data is presented on a quarterly basis as required by Regulatory Guide 1.21 for all four quarters.

1.4.2 Total Error Measurement The total or maximum error associated with the effluent measurement includes the cumulative errors resulting from the total operation of sampling and measurement. Because it may be very difficult to assign l

error terms for each parameter affecting the final measurement, detailed statistical evaluation of error is not suggested. The objective should be to obtain an overall estimate of the error associated with measurements of radioactive materials released in liquid effluents.

a.

During any calendar quarter:

Less than or equal to 7.5 mrems to any organ.

b.

l 34 -

2.1.4 Total Fuel Cycle Dose Commitment (40CFR190) i The annual (calendar year) dose or dose commitment to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources shall be limited to less than or equal to 25 mrems to the whole body or to any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrems.

2.2 Release Points of Gaseous Effluents Gaseous Effluents at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant are currently confined to four paths: plant vents (Unit 1 and Unit 2), the condenser air ejector and steam packing exhauster systems (Unit 1 and Unit 2).

Waste gas decay tanks are batch released through the Unit 1 plant vent. The Containment purges are released through their respective plant vents.

2.3 Sample Collection and Analysis All of the paths can be continuously monitored for gaseous radioactivity. Each is equipped with an integrated-type sample collection device for collecting particulates and iodines. During this reporting period, there were no continuous radioactive releases through the condenser air ejector and steam packing exhauster system vents. Batch Waste Gas Decay Tank releases are analyzed for noble gases before each release.

The containment atmosphere is analyzed for noble gases prior to each release and for tritium at least on a monthly basis.

Sample analyses results and release flow rates form the basis for calculating released quantities of radionuclide specific radioactivity, dose rates associated with gaseous releases, and cumulative doses for the current quarter and year.

With each release period and batch release, radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are calculated. Cumulative dose results are tabulated, along with the percent of the ODCM limits for each release for the current quarter and year.

l 35 ~

2.4 Total Quantitles of Radioactivity, Dose Rates, and Cumulative Doses The methods for determining release quantities of radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses cre as follows:

2.4.1 Fission and Activation Gas The released radioactivity is determined from sample analyses results collected as described above and average release flow rates over the period represented by the collected sample.

Instantaneous dose rates due to noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates are calculated. Calculated dose rates are compared to the dose rate limits specified in ODCM 3.12 for noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates. Dose rate calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.

Beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are calculated for the location in the unrestricted area with the potential for the highest exposure due to gaseous releases.

Air doses are calculated for each release period and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the calendar quarter and year. Cumulative air doses are compared with the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.3. Current percent of the ODCM limits are shown on the printout for each release period. Air dose calculation methodo:3gy is presented in the ODCM.

2.4.2 Radiolodines, Tritium and Particulate Releases The released quantities of radiciodines are determined using the weekly samples and release flow rates for the two plant vent release points.

The released quantities of particulates are determined using the weekly (filter) samples and release flow rates for the two release points.

After each quarter, the particulate filters from each Plant vent are combined, for strontium analysis. Strontium concentrations are input to the composite file of the computer to be used for release dose rate and individual dose calculations.

Individual doses due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates are calculated for the controlling receptor, which for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant is a child exposed to the inhalation and ground-plane pathways. Individual doses are calculated for each release period, and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the current calendar quarter and year. Cumulative individual doses are compared to the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.4.

Current percent of ODCM limits are shown on this report for each release period 36

2.4.3 Gross Alpha Release The gross alpha release is calculated each month by counting the particulate filters for each week for gross alpha activity. The four or five weeks' numbers are then recorded on a data sheet and the activity is summed at the end of the month. This concentration is used for release calculations.

Gaseous Effluent Release Data I

2.5.1 Methodology i

Regulatory Guide 1.21 Tables 1 A,1B, and 1C are found in this report as Tables 2-2A,2-2AA, 2-28, 2-2BB, 2-2C, 2-2CC, 2-3A, 2-3AA, 2-38, 2-3BB, 2-3C, 2-3CC, 2-4A, 2-4AA, 2-4B,2-4BB,2-4C, and 2-4CC Data are presented on a quarterly basis as required by Regulatory Guide 1.21.

To complete table 2-2A,2-2AA, 2-2B, and 2-2B8, the total release for each of the four categories (fission and activation gases, iodines, particulates, and tritium) was divided l

by the number of seconds in the quarter to obtain a release rate in Cl/second for each category. However, the percent of the ODCM limits are not applicable because VEGP has no curie limits for gaseous releases. Applicable limits are expressed in terms of dose. Noble gases are limited as specified in ODCM 3.1.2. The other three categories

-(tritium, radiciodines, and particulates) are limited as a group as specified in ODCM 3.1.2.

Dose rates due to noble gas releases and due to radiciodines, tritium, and particulate releases were calculated as part of the pre-release and post-release permits. No limits were exceeded for this reporting period.

I Gross alpha radioactivity is reported in Table 2-2A,2-2AA,- 2-2B, and 2-2BB as curies released in each quarter.

Limits for cumulative beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are specified in i

ODCM 3.1.3. Cumulative air doses are presented in Table 2-6A,2-6AA,2-68, and 2-6BB along with the percent of the ODCM limits.

l Limits for cumulative individual doses due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates, are l

specified in ODCM 3.1.4. Cumulative individual doses are presented in Table 2-7A, 2-7AA, 2-78, and 2-7BB along with percent of ODCM limits.

1 The total or maximum error associated with the effluent measurement will include the cumulative errors resulting from the total operation of sampling and measurement.

Because it may be very difficult to assign error terms for each parameter affecting the final measurement, detailed statistical evaluation of error are not suggested. The objective should be to obtain an overall estimate of the error associated with l

2.5.2 Gaseous Batch Data Other data pertinent to batch releases of radioactive gaseous effluent from Unit 1 and Unit 2 are listed in Table 1-6A,1-6AA,14B, and 14BB.

2.6 RadiologicalImpact Due to Gaseous Releases Dose rates due to the release of noble gases were calculated for the site in accordance with ODCM 3.4.1.1 Dose rates due to radioiodines, tritium, and particulates in gaseous releases were calculated in accordance with ODCM 3.4.1.2.

Dose rates were calculated as part of pre-release and post release permits, no limits were exceeded for this reporting period.

Cumulative air doses due to noble gas releases were calculated for each unit in l

accordance with ODCM 3. 4.2.These results are presented in Tables 2-6A, 2-6AA,2-68, and 2-688.

Dose rates and doses were calculated using the methodology presented in the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

2.7 Abnormal Releases i

There were 3 unplanned gaseous releases in 1997:

A. Permit # 970051 was generated for Unit 1 Gas Decay Tank # 1 which lost approximately 22 psi between 1-31-97 and 2-20-97. A leaking valve was discovered as the cause and the contents of Gas decay tank #1 were transferred to Gas decay tank #5 thereby terminating the release. DC # 1-97-073 was written to address this incident.

Sampling and analysis was performed and this release was verified to be in compliance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual limits with 20.6 Curies released.

39 '

2.7 Abnormal Releases cont'd B. Permit # 970119 'was generated on 44-97 following the release of radioactive gases from the Unit 2 Waste Gas system during compressor maintenance. Valve leak by into an isolated waste gas system was determined to be the cause; deficiency 2-97-111 was generated to further address this incident.

~ The area radiation monitor alerted personnel to the leak and samples were pulled.

The duration of the release was determined to be 80 minutes using Plant Computer trends. The source term was permitted and was determined to be in compliance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual limits. An estimated 0.014 Curies were released.

C. Permit # 970192 was generated for a release from the Unit 1 Equipment Building on 7-28-97. On 7-28-97 background radiation increases in the unit 1 Equipment Building coupled with primary lab sampling activity and plant vent effluent monitor increases led to the discovery of a sneak release path from the plant vent. This flow path was identified to be originating in the plant vent stack bypassing plant vent effluent monitors and leaking past damper 1-HV-2632B. The path continued out of the housing

)

for the containment mini purge exhaust fan 1-1506-B7-002-H01 and into the Equipment j

Building. Samples obtained in the area were used to generate release permit. Dose and j

dose rates were well within the ODCM limits. An estimated 4.81E-05 Curies were i

released.

Total dose to the public due to mixed and ground mode release for the second half of 1997 was 2.02E-04 mrem. Dose due to Equipment Building release alone was only 5.03E-07 mrem which is only 0.24% of the total dose to the public for the second half. So an estimated 6.53E-05 mrem would have been given to the public for the first half of the i

year. Total gaseous effluent dose for 1997 is 7.17E-04 mrem, which is about 2.39E-03%

of ODCM limit. Therefore only 5.74E-04% of the ODCM dose limit is from the Equipment Building. The increase in dose attributed to the Equipment Building release point is insignificant. Therefore doses from Equipment Building release points will no longer be calculated for routine continuos releases.
