A-2 4827R

a.. Fission and Activation Gases Stack-continuous monitors normally show less than detectable releases of fission and activation gases. Therefore, to determine the level of releases, gas grab samples are drawn at the stack mcnthly or when the noble gas monitors show an increase. The grab samples are analyzed by gamma spectroscopy to determine the isotopic composition and resultant release rate. The error I involved in these steps may be approximately 1100 percent.

b. Iodines Continuous isokinetic samples are drawn from the plant stack through a particulate filter and charcoal cartridge. The filters and cartridge are removed weekly (if releases are less than 4 percent of the Tech Spec limit), or daily (if they are greater than 4 percent of the limit), and are analyzed for radioiodine 131, I 132, 133, 134, and 135. The error involved in these steps may be approximately 50 percent.

c. Particulate I The particulate filters described in b. above are also counted for particulate radioactivity. The error involved in this sample is also approximately 250 percent.

I d. Liquid Effluents Radioactive liquid effluents released from the facility are continuously monitored. Measurements are also made on a representative sample of each batch of radioactive liquid effluents released. For each batch, station records are retained of the total activity (mci) released, concentration (uCi/ml) of gross I

radioactive material contained in any outside tank. With the

APPENDIX C RADI0 ACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION Requirement : Radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation channels are required to be operable in accordance with Technical Specification Teble 3.9.1. If an inoperable radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrument is not returned to operable I status prior to a release pursuant to Note 4 of Table 3.9.1, an explanation in the next Semiannual Effluent Release Report of I the reason (s) for delay in correcting the inoperability are required per Technical Specification 6.7.C.1.

Respontte: The service water radiation monitor checks for potential contamination within the service water system which is a nonradioactive system. The service water radiation monitor has been considered inoperable during closed and hybrid cycle I operation, and when the plant is not operating due to lack of sufficient dilution flow which affects system sensitivity.

Procedural changes are being made revising the method of  :

assessing the sensitivity requirements for the monitor. These changes will be completed by September 1, 1989, and the monitor will be considered operable. Daily grab samples of the service water have been taken and analyzed for specific activity, as required by the Technical Specifications, to ensure no radioactive contamination has entered the system.

7 I APPENDIX E RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM I Requirement: The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is conducted

~

in accordance with Technical Specification 3.9.C. With milk samples no longer available from one or more of the sample locations required by Technical Specification Table 3.9.3,

_g W Technical Specification 6.7 C.1 requires the following to be included in the next Semiannual Effluent Release Report:

(1) identify the cause(s) of the sample (s) no longer being available, (2) identify the new location (s) for obtaining available replacement samples, and (3) include revised ODCM figure (s) and table (s) reflecting the new location (s).

I Ruponse: The Coombs Farm (TM-15 and TC-15), a milk and silage sampling location in Vernon, Vermont, went out of business during January

.g 1989. The Coombs Farm was replaced with the Newton Farm (IM-13 3

and TC-13). The revised ODCM figure and table are attached in Apr>endix H.

With a land use census identifying a location (s) which yields at least a 20 percent greater dose or dose commitment than the values currently being calculated in I Technical Specification 4.8.G.1, Technical Specification 6.7,0.1 requires the identification of the new location (s) in the next I Semiannual Effluent Release Report.

Responae: The 1989 3and use census was not performed during this reporting period. It will be completed during the next reporting period (second half of 1989).

initiated changes to the Process Control Program (PCP) be submitted to the Commission in the Semiannual Radioact5ve Effluent Release Report for the period in which the ch.tnge(s) was made.

I' APPENDIX H OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL I Requirement: Technical Specification 6.13.A.1 requires that licensee l initiated changes to the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) i be submitted to the Com:nission in the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change (s)

I was made effective.

Responge: There were two licensee initiated changes to the ODCM during this reporting period.

I The Coombs milk and silage sampling location (TM-15 and TC-15) was replaced with a new location (TM-13 and TC-13) in January 1989. Full details may be found in Appendix E.

I Section 3.11 of the ODCM was expat.ded to include the dose impact at the site boundary from radioactive materials and low level waste stored in the north warehouse, and the dose due to interim storage of packaged Dry Active Waste (DAW) and spent ion exchange and filter media in modular concrete storage overpacks on the low level waste storage pad facility adjacent to the north warehouse.

This change to the ODCM adds to the caps.bility to determine of f-site doses from fixed sources of radioactivity not previously addressed in the manual, and therefore, does not reduce the accuracy or reliability of dose calculations or setpoint determinations that are being calculated.

I I

I H-1 I 4827R

l I

The expanded dose calculational techniques which are added to g-B the ODCM are necessary to address changes in plant operations which now include the storage of solid radioactive vaste on-site in areas that previously have not been used for such activities. These changes are justified since the plant is not presently permitted to ship solid waste to existing licensed burial grounds for disposal. The design changes to the plant i facilities and implementation procedures to control the storage of solid waste on-site have been evaluated in accordance with 10CFR50.59.
