1.0 Liquid Effluents 1.1 Regulatory Requirements 1.1.1 Concentration Limits The concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited to ten times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR Part 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 1E-04 microcuries/ml total activity.

1.1.2 Dose Limits The dose or dose commitment, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released from each unit to UNRESTRICTED AREAS, shall be limited:

a. During any calendar quarter, to less than or equal to 1.5 mrems to the 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 body and to less than or equal to 10 mrems to any organ.

1.2 Effluent Concentration Limit ECl values used in determining allowable liquid radwaste release rates and concentrations, for principal gamma emitters, 1-131, tritium, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe 55, are taken from 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, 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 2, Column 2.

For dissolved or entrained noble gases in liquid radwaste, the ECl is 1E-04 uCi/ml total activity.

For gross alpha in liquid radwaste, the ECl is 2E-09 uCilml.

Furthermore, 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 liquid radwaste release rates and effluent radiation monitor set points is described in Subsection 1.3 of this report.

The method utilizing the ECl fraction to determine dose released from groundwater outfalls is described in Subsection 1 of this report.

1.3 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity for Liquid Radwaste Prior to the any tank containing liquid following the required recirculations, are collected and analyzed in accordance with the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Offsite Dose (ODCM) sample from planned for for principal gamma 131, and entrained noble by gamma spectroscopy. Monthly quarterly are prepared for analysis by extracting aliquots from taken from the Liquid radwaste in Section 1.3.1.

1.3.1 Total Radioactivity Determination for Liquid ~a,nllll'a"'J MEASUREMENT FREQUENCY METHOD

1. Gamma Isotopic Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy with com puterized reduction

2. or entrained Each Gamma Spectroscopy with computerized data reduction

3. Tritium Monthly Com Distillation and liquid scintillation counting

4. Gross Monthly Gas flow proportional counting

s. & Quarterly Chemical separation flow proportional

6. Quarterly Chemical separation and liquid scintillation counting 2

Gamma isotopic measurements are performed in-house using germanium detectors with a resolution of 2.0 keV or lower. The detectors are shielded by four inches of lead.

A liquid radwaste sample is typically counted for 2000 seconds and a peak search of the resulting gamma ray spectrum is performed . Energy and net count data for all significant peaks are determined and a quantitative reduction or MOC calculation is performed to ensure that the MOC's are met for the nuclides specified in the OOCM 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 cal'culations, 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. Typically achieved liquid effluent sample analyses minimum detectable concentrations are reported in Table 1-4.

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

The radionuclide concentrations determined by gamma spectroscopic analysis of samples taken from tanks planned for release, in addition to the most current sample analysis results available for trWum, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55, are used along with the corresponding ECl values to determine the ECl fraction for these tanks.

This ECl fraction is then used, with the appropriate safety factors, tolerance factors, and the expected dilution stream flow to calculate maximum permissible release rate and a liquid effluent monitor setpoint. The monitor setpoint is calculated to assure that the limits of the ODCM are not exceeded.

A monitor reading in excess of the calculated setpoint will result 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 the liquid effluent radiation monitor calibration factor, are entered into the computer and a pre release printout is 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 Foreman on duty. The pertinent information is transferred manually from the prerelease printout to a one-page release permit, which is forwarded to Radwaste Operations. When the release is completed, the release permit is returned from Radwaste Operations to Chemistry with the actual release data provided. These data are input into the computer and a post-release printout is generated. The post release printout contains the actual release rates, the actual release concentrations and quantities, the actual dilution flow, and the calculated doses to a Member of the Public.

1.4 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity for Groundwater Outfall-Y22N008A Samples are collected and analyzed in accordance with the I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Dose Calculation Manual (ODeM) Table Weekly, monthly and quarterly com are for analysis by extracting aliquots from each outfall's automatic sampler, which collects a composite sample over a seven-day Sample are as described in Section 1.4.1 1.4.1 Total Radioactivity Determination for Groundwater Outfalls MEASUREMENT FREQUENCY METHOD

Gamma isotopic measurements are performed in-house using germanium detectors with a resolution of 2.0 keV or lower. The detectors are shielded by four inches of lead.

A weekly composite sample is typically counted to Environmental MOC's and a peak search of the resulting gamma ray spectrum is performed. Energy and net count data for all significant peaks are determined and a quantitative reduction or MOC calculation is performed to ensure that the MOC's are met for the nuclides specified in the aOCM 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 MOC calculations, are made based on the counts at the location in the spectrum where the peak for that radionuclide would be located, if present. Typically achieved liquid effluent sample analyses minimum detectable concentrations are reported in Table 1-4.

Tritium, Gross Beta, Sr-89 and Sr-90 are, in some cases, analyzed offsite.

The radionuclide concentrations determined by gamma spectroscopic analysis of the weekly composite sample, in addition to the most current sample analysiS results available for tritium, gross beta, Sr-89 and Sr-90, are used along with the corresponding ECl values to determine the ECl fraction for these composite samples. This ECl fraction is then used, with the appropriate safety factors, tolerance factors, and the expected dilution stream flow to calculate projected dose released.

Radionuclide concentrations, safety factors and dilution stream flow rate are entered into the computer and a pre-release printout is generated for each release period.

When the release period is complete, the release permit is updated with the actual release data collected during the release period. These data are input into the computer and a post-release printout is generated . The post release printout contains the actual release rates, the actual release concentrations and quantities, the actual dilution flow, and the calculated doses to a Member of the Public. Cumulative dose results are tabulated along with the percent of the aOCM limit for each release period, for the current quarter and year.

1.5 Total Error Estimation The maximum error associated with volume and flow measurements, based upon plant calibration practice, is estimated to be + or - 10%. The average error associated with counting is estimated to be less than + or - 15%. Therefore, the total error estimation is + or - 18%.

1.6 Liquid Effluent Release Data Regulatory Guide 1.21, 2A and are found in this report as Unit 1, Table 1-18, for Unit 2 and Table 1-1C, for the site; Table 1 Unit 1, 1-28, for Unit and 1-2C, for the site. Typical liquid minimum detectable concentrations (MDC's) used for analyses are found in Table 1-4.

values for the four categories of Tables 1-1A, and 1-18, 1-1 C, are calculated and the completed as follows:

1. and activation products - total values (not including tritium, gases, alpha) are comprised of the sum of the measured individual radionuclide activities. This sum is for each batch to the river for the respective quarter.

2. Tritium - The measured tritium concentrations in the monthly composite samples are used to calculate the total release and average diluted concentration during period.

Dissolved and entrained - Concentrations of dissolved and entrained in liquid effluents are measured by germanium spectroscopy using a one liter sample from each liquid radwaste batch measured concentrations are used to calculate total release and the diluted concentration during the Radioisotopes of iodine in any form are also determined during the isotopic analysis each batch; thon:"t",..... ro a separate for gaseous forms is not performed because it would not provide additional information.

Gross radioactivity - measured gross alpha concentrations in the monthly composite samples are used to calculate total of alpha rad ioactivity.

2.2 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity Waste at Plant Hatch is confined to four paths: main called offgas vent), Unit 1 reactor building vent; Unit 2 reactor building vent, and the recombiner building vent Each of four paths is continuously monitored for gaseous radioactivity.

2.2.1 Sample Collection and Analysis of the four gaseous effluent paths is equipped with an integrating-type sample collection device for collecting particulates and Unless more frequently certain circumstances, are collected as follows:

1. Noble gas are collected by grab sampling monthly.

2. Tritium samples are collected by grab sampling monthly.

3. Radioiodine are collected by pulling sample stream through a charcoal cartridge over a 7-day period.

4. Particulates are collected by pulling the sample stream through a particulate filter over a 7-day period.

5. The 7-day particulate filters are for alpha activity.

Quarterly composite samples are prepared from the particulate filters collected over the previous quarter and samples are analyzed for and Sample analyses and flow from the four pOints form the for calculating quantities of radionuclide-specific radioactivity, the associated with the cumulative for the current quarter and year. This task is normally performed with computer assistance.

The noble grab sample analysis results are used along with maximum expected flow rates from each of the four vents to late monitor the gaseous effluent monitors serving the four release points. Calculation of monitor setpoints is described in ODCM. Typically achieved minimum detectable concentrations gaseous effluents sample are reported in Table For each release period, released radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are calculated. Cumulative results are tabulated along with the of ODCM limit for for cu quarter and 28

2.2.2 Total Quantities of Radioactivity, Dose Rates, and Cumulative vu.:n:;,;::t The methods determining quantities of radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative follow:

2.2.2.1 Fission and Activation Gases The radioactivity is determined using sample results as described above and the release flow over the ncr'l..... n represented by collected Dose due to noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates are calculated (with computer assistance). The calculated dose rates are compared to rate limits specified in aDCM 3.1 for noble radioiodine, tritium, and particulates.

rate calculation methodology is presented in aDCM.

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

Air doses are calculated for release period and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for calendar quarter and year. Cumulative air are compared the limits in aDCM 1 The current of the limits are shown on the printout for each period. Air calculation methodology is nr",.<::'Qnr",.n in the aDCM.

Radioiodine, Tritium and Particulate rU:fIt:f",'3C'3 lea!"ea quantities radioiodines are determined using the weekly samples and reIE~as,e l:low rates for four release points. Radioiodine concentrations are determined by gamma spectroscopy.

Release quantities of particulates are determined using the weekly (filter) and flow rates for the four pOints. spectroscopy is used to quantify concentrations of principal gamma emitters.

After each quarter, the filters from each vent are combined, strontium separation is performed. Since flows and vent flows are constant over quarterly the filters from vent can dissolved Decay are back to the middle of quarterly collection period. If Sr-89 or is not MDC's are calculated.

Strontium concentrations are input into composite file of the computer and used for dose rate and dose calculations for a Member of the Public.

29

Tritium samples are monthly from each vent by passing the through a cold trap. of water vapor/cubic foot is cold trap in order to difficulties in determining water vapor efficiencies. The tritium are analyzed by an independent laboratory and the results are furnished in uCi/ml of water. The tritium concentration in water is converted to the tritium concentration in air and this value is input into the composite of the computer and used in dose rate, and individual dose calculations.

tritium and particulates are calculated for a hypothetical pathway at the location in the eX[)eClea to the highest. Dose are period, and the dose rates from limits as described in aDCM 3.1 are calculated for the controlling a Member of the Public are release period, totals are kept for current calendar quarter and doses are limits specified in aDCM 3.1.4. of aDCM limits are shown on printout for each release period.

2.2.2.3 Gross Alpha The gross alpha is computed each month by counting the particulate each week for gross alpha activity in a proportional counter. The four or numbers are then on a data sheet and the activity is summed at the month. The summed activity is then divided by the total monthly volume determine the This concentration is input into the computer and 2.2.3 Total Error EstlnratJron aS~iOClaIEm with the effluent measurement cumulative errors of sampling and to the difficulty error for each parameter affecting the final measurement, evaluation of error is not suggested.

1.0 ID EFFLUENTS This section contains icable aDCM limits for liquid effluents as well as the ities of radioactive 1 id effluents released during 2012. These ties are summarized on a rly basis and include any unplanned releases. A tabulation of the total and organ doses which were calculated in accordance with aDCM 2.4 are presented to show conformance with the limits of aDCM 2.1.3.

1.1 irements 1.1.1 Concentration Limits Technical fications S.S.4.b and S.S.4.cstate that the concentration of radioactive material released in 1 id effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS (see aDCM re 10-1) shall be limited at all times to ten times the concentrations specified in 10CFR20, ndix 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 1.0E-04 uCi/ml total act 1.1.2 Dose Limits Technical ifications 5.5.4.d and 5.5.4.e state that the dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER aF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in 1 id effluents re from each unit, to UNRESTRICTED AREAS (see aDCM re 10-1) shall be limited:

a. Dur any calendar to less than or to 1.5 mrem to the total body and to less than or to 5 mrem to any organ, and

b. any calendar year to less than or to 3 mrem to the total and to less than or equal to 10 mrem to any organ.

1.2 Effluent Concentration Limit (ECL)

ECL values used in determin 1 id radwaste release rates and concentrations, for princ gamma emitters, I-131, trit Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe 55, are taken from 10CFR Part 20, B, Table 2, Column 2. A tolerance factor of up to 10 is utilized to allow flexibility in establi ical monitor which can accommodate effluent releases at concentrations higher than the ECL values stated in 10CFR20, B, Table 2, Column 2.

For dissolved or entrained noble gases in 1 id radwaste, the ECL is 1.OE-04 uCi total For gross a in 1 id radwaste, the ECL is 2.0E-09 uCi Furthermore, for all the above radionuclides, or s of radioactivi , the overall ECL fraction is determined in accordance with OCFR Part 20, x B.

1.3 Measurements and Approximation of Total Radioactivity The radionuclides listed below are considered when evaluating liquid effluents:

MN-54 CS-134 FE-59 CS-137 CO-58 CE-141 CO-60 CE-144 ZN-65 MO-99 SR-89 FE-55 SR-90 H-3 1-131

1. 3.1 Total Radioactivity Determination Batch Releases: Representative pre-release grab samples are obtained and analyzed in accordance with ODCM Table 2-3. Isotopic analyses are performed using the computerized pulse height analysis system utilizing high resolution germanium detectors. Isotopic values thus obtained are used for release rate calculations as specified in the ODCM. Only those nuclides that are detected are used in the calculations. All Strontium and Iron-55 samples are sent offsite to the Georgia Power Environmental Laboratory for analysis. Gross beta and gross alpha determinations are made using 2 pi gas flow proportional counters. Tritium determinations are made using liquid scintillation techniques. Dissolved gases are determined employing grab sampling techniques and then counting on the pulse height analyzer.

The sample analyses results are used along with the ECL values to determine the ECL fraction for the planned release. The ECL fraction is then used, with the appropriate safety factors, and the expected dilution stream flow, to calculate the maximum permissible release rate and a liquid effluent monitor setpoint. The monitor setpoint is calculated to assure that the limits of the ODCM are not exceeded. A monitor reading in excess of the calculated setpoint will result in automatic termination of the liquid radwaste discharge.

Radionuclide concentrations, safety factors, dilution stream flow rate, and liquid effluent radiation monitor calibration factors are used by the computer to generate a pre-release printout. If the release is not permissible, appropriate warnings will be displayed on the computer screen and on the printout. If the release is permissible, it is approved by a Chemistry Technician. The release permit is transferred from the Chemistry Department to the Operations Department for release.

When the release is completed, the actual release data are provided to the Chemistry Department. These release data, including release rate and release duration, are input into the computer and a post-release printout is generated. This printout contains the actual release rates, radionuclide concentrations and quantities, dilution flow, and calculated doses to an individual.

Continuous Releases: Continuous releases are to batch releases that are ana on a weekly composite basis in accordance with ODCM Table 2 3.

ly achieved liquid effluent sample analyses minimum detectable concentrations are in Table 1 4.

1.3.2 Total Error Estimation The maximum error associated with volume and flow measurements, based upon plant calibration ice is estimated to be + or 10%. The average error associated with count is estimated to be less than + or - 15%.

1.4 Effluent Release Data Su~~aries of all radioactive I id effluents released from Units 1 and 2 2012 are presented in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.21 Tables 2A and 2B.

2.0 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS This section contains applicable ODeM limits for gaseous effluents as well as the quantities of radioactive gaseous effluents released during 2012.

These quantities are summarized on a quarterly basis and include any unplanned releases. Tabulations are provided of the offsite air doses calculated in accordance with ODeM 3.4.2 to show conformance with the limits of ODeM 3.1.3, and the offsite organ doses to a member of the public calculated in accordance with ODeM 3.4.3 to show conformance with ODeM 3.1. 4.

2.1 Regulatory Requirements The requirements presented in this section are for Unit 1 and Unit 2.

2.1.1 Dose Rate Limits The dose rates due to radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents from the site to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY shall be limited to the following:

a. For noble gases: Less than or equal to 500 mrem/yr. to the whole body and less than or equal to 3000 mrem/yr. to the skin, and

b. For Iodine-131, Iodine-133,tritium and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days: Less than or equal to 1500 mrem/yr. to any organ.

2.1.2 Air Doses Due to Noble Gases in Gaseous Releases Technical Specifications S.5.4.e and S.5.4.h state that the air dose due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents, from each reactor unit, to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY (see ODeM Figure 10-1) shall be limited to the following:

a. During any calendar quarter: Less than or equal to 5 mrad for gamma radiation and less than or equal to 10 mrad for beta radiation, and

b. During any calendar year: Less than or equal to 10 mrad for gamma radiation and less than or equal to 20 mrad for beta radiation.

- 26

2.1.3 Doses to a Member of the Public Technical Specifications 5.5.4.e and 5.5.4.i state that the dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from 1-131, 1-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days in gaseous effluents released, from each reactor unit, to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY (see ODCM Figure 10-1) shall be limited to the following:

a. During any calendar quarter: Less than or equal to 7.5 mrem to any organ, and

b. During any calendar year: Less than or equal to 15 mrem to any organ.

2.2 Measurements and Approximation of Total Radioactivity The following noble gases are considered in evaluating gaseous effluents:

KR-87 XE-133 KR-88 XE-135 XE-133M XE-138 The following radioiodines and radioactive materials in particulate form are specifically considered in evaluating gaseous effluents:

MN-54 MO-99 FE-59 1-131 CO-58 CS-134 CO-60 CS-137 ZN-65 CE-141 SR-89 CE-144 SR-90 H-3

- 27

2.2.1 Sample collection and Analysis Periodic grab samples from plant effluent streams are analyzed by a computerized pulse height analyzer system utilizing high resolution germanium detectors. Samples are obtained and analyzed in accordance with ODCM Table 3-3. Isotopic values thus obtained are used for release rate calculations as specified in ODCM 3.4.2 and ODCM 3.4.3. Only those nuclides which are detected are used in calculations. For radioiodines and particulates, in addition to the nuclides listed above other nuclides with half-lives greater than 8 days which are identified are also considered.

Continuous Releases: Continuous sampling is performed on the continuous release points (i.e. the Plant Vent Stack, Containment Purge when in continuous mode, and the Turbine Building Vent). Particulate material is collected by filtration. Periodically these filters are removed and analyzed on the pulse height analyzer to identify and quantify radioactive materials collected on the filters. Particulate filters are then analyzed for gross alpha and strontium as required. All gross alpha, Sr-89 and Sr-90 samples are sent offsite to the Georgia Power Environmental Laboratory for analysis.

Batch Releases: The processing of batch type releases (from Containment when in batch mode, or Waste Gas Decay Tanks) is analogous to continuous releases, except that the release is not commenced until samples have been obtained and analyzed. Containment Purge batch releases were commenced at FNP beginning in 2006 in order to take advantage of additional decay time for short lived radionuclides.

Typically achieved minimum detectable concentrations for gaseous effluent sample analyses are reported in Table 2-6.

2.2.2 Total Quantities of Radioactivity, Dose Rates, and Cumulative Doses The methods for determining release quantities of radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses follow:

- 28

2.2.2.1 Fission and Activation Gases The released radioactivity is determined using sample analyses results collected as described in section 2.2.1 and the average release flow rates over the period represented by the collected sample.

Dose rates due to noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates are calculated (with computer assistance). The calculated dose rates are compared to the dose rate limits specified in ODCM 3.1.2 for noble gases, radioiodine, 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 to the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.3. The current percent of the ODCM limits are shown on the printout for each release period. Air dose calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.

2.2.2.2 Radioiodine, Tritium, and Particulate Releases Released quantities of radioiodines are determined using the weekly samples and release flow rates for the applicable release points. Radioiodine concentrations are determined by gamma spectroscopy.

Release quantities of particulates are determined using the weekly (filter) samples and release flow rates for the applicable release points. Gamma spectroscopy is used to quantify the concentrations of principal gamma emitters.

After each quarter, the particulate filters from each applicable vent (plant vent stack and containment purge) are combined, fused, and a strontium separation is performed. Since sample flows and vent flows are almost constant over each quarterly period the filters from each vent can be dissolved together. Decay corrections are performed back to the middle of the quarterly collection period. If Sr-89 or Sr-90 is not detected, MDC's are calculated. Strontium concentrations are input into the composite file of the computer and used for release dose rate and individual dose calculations.

Tritium samples are obtained monthly from the Plant Vent Stack, the Containment Purge when in batch mode, and the Turbine Building Vent (and weekly for Containment Purge when in continuous mode) by passing the sample stream through a cold trap or by using the bubble method. The grams of water vapor/cubic meter is measured upstream of the cold trap in order to alleviate the difficulties in determining water vapor collection efficiencies. The tritium samples are analyzed onsite and the results furnished in uCi/ml of water. The tritium concentration in water is converted to the tritium concentration in air and this value is input into the composite file of the computer and used in release, dose rate,and individual dose calculations.

- 29

Dose rates due to radioiodine, tritium and 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. Dose rates are calculated, for each release point for each release period, and the dose rates from each release point is compared to the dose rate limits specified in ODCM 3.1.2, allocated for each release point as described in ODCM 3.3.2.

Doses to a Member of the Public (individual doses) due to radioiodine, tritium and particulates are calculated for the controlling receptor, which is described in the ODCM. 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. The current percent of ODCM limits are shown on the printout for each release period.

2.2.2.3 Gross Alpha Release The gross alpha release is computed each month by counting the particulate filters, for each week for gross alpha activity in a proportional counter.

The highest concentration calculated for any of these weeks is used for the monthly value. This value is input into the composite file of the computer and used for release calculations.

2.2.3 Total Error Estimation The maximum errors associated with monitor readings, sample flow, vent flow, sample collection, monitor calibration and laboratory procedure are collectively estimated to be:

Fission and Activation Gases Iodine Particulates Tritium 75% 60% 50 % 45 %

The average error associated with counting is estimated to be:

Fission and Activation Gases Iodine Particulates Tritium 19% 28 % 20 % 8%

2.3 Gaseous Effluent Release Data Regulatory Guide 1.21 Tables lA, 1B and 1C are found in this report as Tables 2-1A, 2-1B, 2-1C, 2-2A, 2-2B, 2-2C, 2-3A, 2-3B, and 2-3C. Data are presented on a quarterly basis as required by Regulatory Guide 1.21.

To complete Tables 2-1A and 2-1B, the total release for each of the four categories (fission and activation gases, radioiodines, 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 percent of the ODCM limits are not applicable because FNP has no curie limit 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, radioiodines, and particulates) are limited as a group as specified in ODCM 3.1.2.

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

Gross alpha radioactivity is reported in Tables 2-1A, 2-1B and 2-1C as curies released in each quarter.

Limits for cumulative beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are presented in Tables 2-4A and 2-4B along with the percent of ODCM limits.

Limits for cumulative doses to an individual due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates are specified in ODCM 3.1.4. Cumulative individual doses are presented in Tables 2-5A and 2-5B along with percent of ODCM limits.

10.0 SERVICE WATER DILUTION BIAS In March, 2013, the Unit 2 Service Water dilution flow recorder was determined to be biased a factor of about 1.43 based on ultrasonic flow detection. Details of this determination can be found in Condition 600325 and Technical Evaluation 601127.

Calculations of Curies released were not this bias since dilution not a in those calculations. The calculation of concentrations and doses for this and previous however, we biased low a factor of

.43.

Based on an application of the 1.43 correction factor to a random number of 1 id releases over the five years, no 10CFR20 concentration limits were exceeded as a result of the bias. Since FNP's 1 been a smal fraction of the ODCM imit (less than one of the ODCM limit for this year's ), the bias would not have resulted in any 1 id dose limits being exceeded or approached. Details of this assessment are included in Technical Evaluation 600968.

Farley Nuclear Plant Appendix A CARBON-14 Carbon-14 (C-14) is a naturally-occurring radionuclide with a 5730 year half life. Nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s significantly increased the amount ofC-14 in the atmosphere. Nuclear power plants also produce C-14, but the amount is infinitesimal compared to what has been distributed in the environment due to weapons testing and what is produced by natural cosmic ray interactions.

As nuclear plants have improved gaseous waste processing systems and improved fuel performance, the percentages of "principal radionuclides" in gaseous effluents have changed, and C-14 has become a larger percentage. "Principal radionuclides" are determined based on public dose contribution or the amount of activity discharged compared to other radionuclides of the same effluent type. In Revision 2 (June 2009) of Regulatory Guide 1.21 (RG 1.21), "Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste," the NRC recommended re-evaluating "principal radionuclides" and reporting C-14 as appropriate. In 2010 Radioactive Effluent Release Reports, virtually aU U. S. nuclear power plants started reporting C-14 amounts released and resulting doses to the maximally exposed member of the public.

Because C-14 is considered a hard-to-detect radionuclide which must be chemically separated from the effluent stream before it can be measured, RG 1.21 provides the option of calculating the C-14 source term based on power generation. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) developed an accepted methodology for calculating C-14, and published the results in Technical Report 1021106 (December 2010), "Estimation of Carbon-14 in Nuclear Power Plant Gaseous Effluents." Evaluation of C-14 in radioactive liquid effluents is not required because the quantity and dose contribution has been determined to be insignificant.

At Plant Farley, the annual quantity ofC-14 released in gaseous effluents was estimated to be 9.28 Curies (per unit). Approximately 30% of the C-14 released is in the form of 14C02 and is incorporated into plants through photosynthesis. Ingestion dose results from this pathway. The remaining 70% is estimated to be organic. Both the organic and inorganic forms of C-14 contribute to inhalation dose. A child is the maximally exposed individual, and bone dose is the highest organ dose. Using the dose calculation methodology from the Farley ODCM, the resulting bone dose to a child located at the controlling receptor location would be 4.11E-Ol mrem in a year which is 2.74% of the regulatory limit of 15 mrem per year (per unit) to any organ due to gaseous effluents. The resulting total body dose to a child located at the controlling receptor location would be 8.21E-02 mrem in a year which is 0.54% of the regulatory limit of 15 mrem per year (per unit) total body dose due to gaseous effluents.

1.0 Liquid Effluents 1.1 Regulatory Requirements 1.1.1 Concentration Limits In accordance with Technical Specification 5.5.4.b, 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 E-04 J.lCi/rnl total activity.

1.1.2 Dose Limits The dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released, from each unit, to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited as follows:

a. During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrems to the 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 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 2, 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 2, Column 2.

For dissolved or entrained noble gases in liquid radwaste, the ECl is 1E-04 !lCi/ml total activity.

For gross alpha in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 2 E-09 J.lCi/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 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity 1.3.1 Total Radioactivity Determination Prior to the of any tank containing liquid radwaste, and following the required recirculation, samples are collected and analyzed in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Table 2-3 "Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis 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 sample taken from tanks, which are released. Liquid radwaste analyses are performed as follows:

MEASUREMENT METHOD

1. Gamma Isotopic Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy with computerized data reduction.

Dissolved or entrained Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy noble gases with computerized data reduction

3. Tritium Monthly Distillation and Composite liquid scintillation counting

4. Gross Alpha Monthly flow proportional Composite counting Sr-89 & Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and gas flow proportional or scintillation counting Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and liquid scintiilation counting 90f80

1.3.1 Total Radioactivity Determination cont'd Gamma isotopic measurements are performed using germanium detectors with a resolution of 2.1 keV or lower. 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, sarnple 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.

ECl fraction is determined using radionuclide concentrations of a tank planned for release, the most current results available for tritium, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 and the corresponding ECl values.

This ECl 'fraction is used, with appropriate safety factors, tolerance factors, and the minimum 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 radiation monitor calibrations are entered into the computer and a pre release printout is 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 input to the computer and a post-release printout is generated. The post release printout contains the actual release rates, release concentrations and quantities, actual dilution flow, and calculated doses to an individual.

Typically achieved liquid effluent sample analyses minimum detectable concentrations are reported in Table 1-4.

1.3.2 Total Error Estimation The total or maximum error associated with the etnuent measurement includes 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 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.

2.2 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity 2.2.1 Sample Collection and Analysis Gaseous Effluents at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant are currently confined to five paths: plant vents (Unit 1 and Unit 2), the condenser air ejector, the steam packing exhauster systems (Unit 1 and Unit 2), and the Radwaste Processing Facility.

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

Containment atmosphere is also released via the containment equipment hatch during periods when the equipment hatch is open with containment purge/vent being stopped. Approval was granted by the NRC to open the equipment hatch during fuel movement; a release permit is generated when the equipment hatch is opened and the containment exhaust fan is not discharging to the plant vent.

Any detected activity in the containment equipment hatch permit is included in the Ground Release Table of the effluent report.

All of the paths with the exception of the RPF can be continuously monitored for gaseous radioactivity. The RPF is equipped with an integrated-type sample collection device for collecting particulates. Plant vent, containment, steam jet air ejector, steam-packing exhauster are 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 the 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 aDCM limits for each release for the current quarter and year.

Typically achieved minimum detectable concentrations for gaseous effluent sample analyses are reported in Table 2-6.

Page 35 of80

2.2.2 Total Quantities of Radioactivity, Dose Rates, and Cumulative Doses The methods for determining release quantities of radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are as follows:

2.2.2.1 Fission and Activation Gases 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. 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 3.1.2 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 methodology is presented in the ODCM.

2.2.2.2 Radioiodines, Tritium and Particulate Releases The released quantities of radioiodines, tritium and particulates are determined using the weekly samples and release 'flow rates for the two plant vent 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 .

Doses to a Member of the Public due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates are calculated for the controlling receptor, which is described in Table 3-7of the ODCM. Doses are calculated for each release period, and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the current calendar quarter and year. Cumulative doses are compared to the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.4.

Current percent of ODCM limits are shown in this report for each release period.

2.2.2.3 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.

Page 36 of 80

2.2.3 Total Error Estimation The total or maximum error associated with the effluent measurement wi" 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 measurements of radioactive materials released in liquid and gaseous effluents and solid waste.

Estimated errors are based on errors in counting equipment calibration, counting statistics, vent-flow rates, vent sample flow rates, non-steady release rates, chemical yield factors, and sample losses for such items as charcoal cartridges.

2.3 Gaseous Effluent Release Data Regulatory Guide 1.21 Rev. 1 Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C are found in this report as Tables A, 2-1 B, 2-2A, 2-3A, and 2-3C. Data are presented on a quarterly basis as required by Regulatory Guide 1 1.

To complete table 2-1A, and 2-1 the total release for each of the four categories (fission and activation iodines, particulates, and tritium) was divided by the number of seconds in quarter to obtain a rate in

!-lCi/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 of dose. Noble gases are limited as specified in aDCM 3.1.2. The three (tritium, radioiodines, and particulates) are limited as a group as specified in ODCM 1 Dose due to noble gas releases and due to radioiodines, tritium, and particulate releases were calculated as part of the pre-release and post-release permits. No limits were for this reporting period.

alpha radioactivity is reported in A, and 2-1 B as curies released in quarter.

Limits for cumulative beta and gamma air due to noble are specified in ODCM 3.1 Cumulative air are presented in Table 2-4A, and 2-4B along with the percent ODCM limits.

38 80

Limits for cumulative doses to a Member of the Public due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates, are specified in ODCM 3.1.4. Cumulative doses to a Member of the Public are presented in Table 2-5A, and 2-5B along with percent of ODCM limits.

2.4 Radiological Impact 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 accordance with ODCM 3.4.2. These results are presented in Tables 2-4A and 2-4B.

Cumulative doses to a Member of the Public were calculated for each unit in accordance with ODCM 3.4.3. These results are presented in Tables 2-5A and 2-5B.

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

2.5 Gaseous Effluents - Batch Releases Other data pertinent to batch releases of radioactive gaseous effluent from Unit 1 and Unit 2 are listed in Table 2-7A and 2-7B.

2.6 Gaseous Effluents - Abnormal Releases To support Dry Cask Storage on plant site, a cask crane replacement took place in the Auxiliary Building. This required a 4' x 5' hole to be cut on the roof of the building. When the Railroad Bay Doors and Penetration were open simultaneously, this caused a release from the building. Temporary equipment was setup to collect samples and quantify activity released through Gaseous Effluent permits.
