{{#Wiki_filter:MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT January-December 2002

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Tables 1 and 2 summarizes the quantity of radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, respectively, for each quarter of 2002. Table 3 states that waste was shipped off-site for burial or disposal during the year 2002. Table 4 contains supplementary information. Appendices A through D, indicate the status of reportable items per the requirements of the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) sections 2.1.5, 2.2.6, 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.5 and Appendix C. Changes to the ODCM made during the year 2002 are summarized in Appendix E. A complete copy of the revised manual is attached as well as the specific pages that changed. 1

3. Measurements and Approximations of Radioactivity a

Fission and Activation Gases Continuous Discharge-Primary Vent Stack and Fuel Building Exhaust Vent samples are analyzed monthly. Activity levels determined are assumed constant for the surveillance interval. The continuous Fuel Building Exhaust Vent monitor reading is used as a basis for increasing periodic sample frequency. Batch Discharges-The waste gas hold-up drums were purged and removed from service in 1997 in preparation for decommissioning. With the permanent cessation of power operations and the removal of the nuclear fuel, containment purge operations are no longer required. Containment ventilation is directed to the Primary Vent Stack, and sampled as described above. There are no gaseous effluent release paths associated with ISFSI Operations.

b. lodines Iodine surveillance no longer applies due to the elapsed time since final plant shutdown from power operations
c.

Particulates Primary Vent Stack and Fuel Building Exhaust Vent particulate totals are taken from a minimum of weekly measurements of continuously collected in line particulate filters. The estimate total error for the particulate measurement has been increased to 35%. This estimated error is based on a detailed evaluation of sampling uncertainties with the particulate samplers. In the decommissioning, credit is not taken for HEPA filtration. Without verification testing of the filters, it must be assumed that sample line plate-out may increase by up to a factor of three in the Primary Vent Stack and 3.8 in the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent. Detected particulate activity is reported in Tables 1A and 1 B. There are no gaseous effluent release paths associated with ISFSI Operations 15

d. Liquid Effluents There are no continuous discharges in the decommissioning mode.

Each batch of potentially radioactive liquid is analyzed for gross alpha, tritium, dissolved gases, and gamma emitting isotopes prior to discharge. Composite samples are made of liquid effluents for a quarterly analysis of Strontium-89, Strontium-90, and Iron-55. There are no liquid effluent release paths associated with ISFSI Operations.

APPENDIX A Radioactive Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation Requirement: Radioactive effluent monitoring instrumentation channels are required to be operable in accordance with ODCM Sections 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. With less than the minimum number of channels operable and reasonable efforts to return the instrument(s) to operable status within 30 days of being unsuccessful, ODCM Sections 2.3.3 and 2 3 4 requires an explanation for the delay in correcting the inoperability in the next Annual Effluent Release Report.

Response

No radioactive effluent monitoring instrumentation was out of service for more than 30 consecutive days during the reporting period. 17

APPENDIX B Liquid Radwaste Treatment System Requirement: With radioactive liquid waste being discharged without treatment with estimated doses in excess of the limits in ODCM Section 2.1.5, a report must be submitted to the Commission in the Annual Effluent Release Report for the period.

Response

The requirements of ODCM Section 2.1.5 were met during this period and, therefore, no report is required 18

Requirement:

Response

APPENDIX C Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System With radioactive gaseous waste being discharged without treatment with doses in excess of the limits in ODCM Section 2.2.6, a report must be submitted to the Commission in the Annual Effluent Release Report for the period. The requirements of ODCM Section 2.2.6 were met during this period and, therefore, no report is required. 19

APPENDIX D Lower Limit of Detection for Radiological Analysis Requirement:

Response

ODCM Section 2.5 requires that when unusual circumstances result in LLD's Higher than required, the reasons shall be documented in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. All samples were counted in such a manner as to satisfy the specified priori lower limits of detection. 20

APPENDIX E Summary of Off-site Dose Calculation Manual Revisions Revision number: Change # 18 Date: 02-02 Summary: Controls and sampling requirements were included in the ODCM to minimize the dose to the public, resulting from on-site building demolition activities Revision number: 19 Date: 05-02 Summary: Table 2.7 of the ODCM was revised to provide clarification as to when alpha smear analysis should be performed to support the release of buildings for demolition. Revision number: 20 Date, 06-02 Summary: Sections 2.1.4, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, Tables 2 3, 2.6, 3 1, 5.1, Figure 5.1 and Appendix A were all revised to eliminate the use of the Forebay from a licensed release path and incorporated the new liquid waste discharge path to the back river. Justification for this change is contained within Calculation MYC-2083 Rev 1. Revision number: 21 Date, 08-02 Summary: Section 2.1.3 was revised to incorporate the reserved technical specification limit of 10 times the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 and to address the use of dilution to meet concentration limits for liquid waste releases. Revision number 22 Date: 10-02 Summary: Table 2.7 was revised to increase the maximum loose surface contamination limit for surveys performed to turn site buildings over for demolition. The averaged average contamination levels remain the same. The change maintained the same level of control and did not result in an increase of dose to the public. Revision number: Change # 18 21

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ABSTRACT The Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Station Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (MY ODCM) contains the approved methods to estimate the doses and radionuclide concentrations occurring beyond the boundaries of the plant caused [ by normal plant operation. (The site boundary is shown in Appendix D, SITE [ BOUNDARY) With initial approval by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission [ and the MYNPS Plant Management and approval of subsequent revisions by the [ Plant Management (as per the Technical Specifications), this ODCM is suitable to show compliance where referred to by the Plant Technical Specifications. Sufficient documentation of each method is provided to allow regeneration of the methods with few references to other material. Most of the methods are presented at two levels. The first, Method I, is a linear equation which provides an upper bound and the second, Method II, is an in-depth analysis which can provide more realistic estimates. i 2/96

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this manual is to provide methods to ensure compliance with the dose requirements of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 (Reference 1). Each method is based on a plant-specific application of the models presented in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2). Methods are included to calculate the doses to individuals from both gaseous and liquid releases from the plant. Under normal operations, experience has shown that the plant will be operated at a small fraction of the dose limits. For this reason, the dose evaluations are presented at different levels of sophistication. The first method being the most conservative, but simplest to use; the second method requiring a full analysis following the guidance presented in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2). The first method, Method 1, is based on a critical organ, critical age group, and critical receptor location; as such, it provides a conservative estimate of the doses. If the dose limits are met by application of the first method, no further analysis will be required. If, however, it indicates that the dose limits may be approached or exceeded, a more realistic estimate may be obtained by application of the second method. The second method, Method II, will calculate the dose to seven organs of four age groups for potentially critical individuals. It is based on measured releases for each nuclide, site-specific parameters, and measured historical average meteorological parameters. Method II is more accurate, but less conservative than Method 1, and will be used to assess doses for the Estimated Dose Report. Liquid effluent dose calculation methods are presented in Section 3. Gaseous effluent dose calculation methods in Section 4. In both Sections relevant Technical Specifications are followed by the appropriate Method I dose equations. When necessary, Method II analyses may be performed by applying the site-specific parameters and measured meteorological parameters to the appropriate dose equations specified in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2). The basis for each of the dose calculation methods is described in Appendix A. 04/01 1

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 2.0 RELEASE OF RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS 2.1 Release of Liquid Radioactive Effluents 2.1.1 Applicability The requirements in this section apply at all times to the release of all liquid waste discharged from the plant which may contain radioactive materials. 2.1.2 Objective The objective is to establish conditions for the release of liquid waste containing radioactive I materials and to assure that doses to the public resulting from all such releases are within the [ limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20, and also assure that the releases from the site of radioactive materials in liquid wastes (above background) are kept "as low as is reasonably achievable" in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix 1. 2.1.3 Liquid Effluents: Concentration I. The concentration of radioactive material in liquid effluents released from the site to [ unrestricted areas shall be limited to not more than ten times the concentrations [i specified in 10 CFR, Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. Remedial Action: With the concentration of radioactive material released from the site to unrestricted areas exceeding the above limits, without delay take action to restore the concentration to within the above limits. II Basis-These limitations apply to the concentration of radioactive materials released in the [ liquid waste effluents from the site to unrestricted areas at the point of discharge into the [ Back River. Concentration levels specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 [ were established to control the dose to the public to within the limits specified in 10 CFR [ 20.1301 and 20.1302. Those values assure a continuous discharge at those concentrations [ (8760 hours per year). Pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a to maintain effluents [ as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA), Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 specifies dose values [ that are a small percentage of the dose limits in 10 CFR 20.1301. Consistent with Appendix [ I to 10 CFR 50, to allow operational flexibility, this specification in conjunction with the [ dose specification in Section 2.1.4.1 permits an instantaneous concentration release rate up to [ a factor of ten times greater than specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 I while continuing to limit the total annual discharge to a small fraction of the allowable annual [ dose as specified in Appendix I. 08102 2

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL [ For determining compliance, it must be demonstrated that the concentrations of radionuclides in [ liquid effluent prior to discharge to the Back River (Reference Section 6.1) meet the limits [ specified. The release path for liquid effluent allows direct discharge into the Back River [ through a submerged discharge line. Additional dilution flow may be added into the discharge [ line (as shown in Figure 6.1) to ensure concentration limits are met. The volume of dilution [ water is not included in the 2,000 gallons per tide cycle waste volume limit described in the [ Section 2.1.4.1 Basis. Liquid effluent must be discharged in a horizontal offshore direction [ through a 3-inch diameter hose from a position that is at least 1 foot above the riverbed in order to ensure sufficient localized mixing (Reference 11). In addition, the discharge end of the line must be positioned at least 20 feet offshore beyond the low tide line and, during releases of liquid [ effluent, must be covered by at least 4 feet of water. Those criteria provide assurance that [ sufficient dilution is available to minimize shoreline doses (Reference 11). Any dilution or [ mixing that occurs after the effluent has exited the discharge pipe, however, can not be used for [ determining compliance with effluent concentration limits. 2.1.4 Liquid Effluents: Dose I. The dose or dose commitment to a member of the public from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released from the site to unrestricted areas shall be limited:

a.

During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrem to the total body, and to less than or equal to 5 mrem to any organ; and

b.

During any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mrem to the total body, and less than or equal to 10 mrem to any organ. Remedial Action: With the calculated dose from the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents exceeding any of the above limits, prepare and submit to the Commission a report within 30 days from the end of the quarter. The report shall identify the cause(s) for exceeding the limit(s) and define the corrective actions to be taken to reduce the releases and the corrective actions to be taken to assure that subsequent releases will be in compliance with the above limits. Remedial Action: With the calculated dose from the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents exceeding twice the above limits, calculations should be made including direct radiation contributions from significant plant sources to determine whether the limits of 40 CFR 190 (Reference 4) have been exceeded. 08102 3

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL If such is the case, prepare and submit a report to the Commission within 30 days. The report shall define the corrective action to be taken to reduce subsequent releases to prevent recurrence of exceeding the limits and include the schedule for achieving conformance with the limits. If the release condition resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190, has not already been corrected, the report shall include a request for a variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190. Submittal of the report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete. Basis: These requirements are provided to implement the guidance of Sections II.A, 1Il.A, and IV.A of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50. The specification provides the required operating flexibility and, at the same time, assures that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable" as set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I. In addition, since the facility is located on a saltwater estuary, the release of radioactive waste in liquids will not result in radionuclide concentrations in finished drinking water, which would be in excess of the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190. ' The impact of discharging liquid effluent directly to the Back Rivcr has been modeled and assessed (Reference I I), which provide the basis for a dilution factor equal to 1 10. This factor provides conservative Method I dose estimates for liquid effluent discharged directly to the Back River. The dilution model assumes that liquid effluent discharges are approximately 2,000 gallons and made no more frequently than once per tide cycle. One of the limiting conditions on this model is a restriction on the size of the near field-mixing zone. The model does not allow the edge of the 10:1 dilution isopleth (which is equivalent to the original near field mixing credit) to reach the shoreline where members of the public could have access. The rationale behind this is to limit the shoreline exposure to gamma emitters that might be present in the liquid waste. If liquid effluent contains only low concentrations of tritium (beta emitter only), then the shoreline exposure limitation does not apply ind the discharge volume can be larger than 2,000 gallons per tide cycle. The dose calculations performed in accordance with the methods and parameters in this ODCM implement the guidance in Section JILA of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a member of the public through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The remedial action requiring calculations when releases exceed two times the design objectives is included to assure that appropriate reports and requests for variance are made should effluents exceed the limits set forth in 40 CFR Part 190. 2.1.5 Liquid Radwaste Treatment I. The Liquid Radwaste Treatment System shall be used in its designed modes of operation to reduce the radioactive materials in the liquid waste prior to its discharge when the estimated doses due to the liquid effluent from the site, when averaged with all other liquid releases over the last 31 days, would exceed 0.06 mrem to the total body, or 0.2 mrem to any organ. 06/02 4

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Remedial Action: With radioactive liquid waste being discharged without treatment and in excess of the above limits, prepare and submit to the Commission a report with the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report which includes the following information:

a.

Explanation of why liquid waste was being discharged without treatment and in excess of the above limits, identification of any inoperable liquid waste equipment which prevented treatment prior to discharge, and the reason for the inoperability;

b.

Actions taken to restore the inoperable equipment back to operable status; and

c.

Summary description of action(s) taken to prevent a recurrence. Basis: The requirement that the appropriate portions of the Liquid Radwaste System (as indicated in this ODCM) be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a and the design objective guidance given in Section [I.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the Liquid Radwaste Treatment System were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, for liquid effluents. 2.2 Release of Gaseous Radioactive Waste 2.2.1 Applicability The requirements of this section apply at all times to the releases of all gaseous waste discharged from the plant which may contain plant-related radioactive materials. 2.2.2 Objective The objective is to establish conditions in which gaseous waste containing radioactive materials may be released and to assure that all such releases are within the dose limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20 and also assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous waste (above background) from the site are kept "as low as is reasonably achievable" in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. 10/98 5

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 2.2.3 Gaseous Effluents: Dose Rate

1.

The dose rate (when averaged over one hour) 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 to less than or equal to 500 mrcm/year to the total body, and less than or equal to 3,000 mrem/year to the skin; and

b.

For Iodine-13 1, Iodine-l 33, tritium, and radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days to less than or equal to 1,500 mrem/year to any organ. Remedial Action: With the dose rates averaged over a period of one hour exceeding the above limits, without delay take action to decrease the release rate to comply with the limit. Basis: These requirements are provided to ensure that the dose rate at any time at the site area boundary and beyond from gaseous effluents from all effluent release points combined [ (i.e., primary vent stack, fuel building exhaust, and building demolition activities) will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 while still providing operational flexibility, compatible with considerations of health and safety, which may temporarily result in releases higher than the absolute value of the concentration values in Appendix B. Reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of a member of the public in an unrestricted area to annual doses exceeding the limits specified in IOCFR 20.1001-20.2402 is provided. For members of the public who may at times be within the site boundary area, the occupancy time will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that at the site boundary. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the site area boundary to less than or equal to 500 mremlyear to the total body, or to less than or equal to 3,000 mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to an infant via the milk-infant pathway to less than or equal to 1,500 mrem/year for the nearest real milk animal to the plant. 02/02 6

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 2.2.4 Gaseous Effluents: Dose From Noble Gases I. The air dose due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents from the site to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to the following:

a.

During any calendar quarter to 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 to less than or equal to 10 mrad for gamma radiation, and less than or equal to 20 mrad for beta radiation. Remedial Action: With the calculated air dose from radioactive noble gases in gaseous [ effluents exceeding any of the above limits, prepare and submit a report to the Commission within 30 days from the end of the quarter. The report shall identify the cause(s) for exceeding limit(s) and define the corrective actions to be taken to reduce the releases of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents and the proposed corrective actions to be taken to assure that subsequent releases will be in compliance with the above limits. Basis: These requirements are provided to implement the guidance of Sections II.B, 11.A, and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The limiting condition for operation implements the guides set forth in Section 1I.B of Appendix 1. This section provides the required operating flexibility, and, at the same time, assures that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents from all effluent release points combined will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." Sampling and analysis requirements of Section 2.5 implement the guidance in Section III.A of Appendix I, i.e., that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a member of the public through the appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The appropriate dose equations are specified in the ODCM equations for determining the air doses at the site area boundary and beyond, and are based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. 10/98 7

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 2.2.5 Gaseous Effluents: Dose From lodine-131. Todine-133. Tritium. and Radioactive Material in Particulate Form

1.

The dose to a member of the public from Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days in gaseous effluents released to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to the following:

a.

During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 7.5 mrem to any organ; and

b.

During any calendar year to less than or equal to 15 mrem to any organ. [- Remedial Action: With the calculated dose from the release of lodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days in gaseous effluents exceeding any of the above limits, prepare and submit a report to the Commission within 30 days from the end of the quarter. The report shall identify the cause(s) for exceeding the limit(s) and define the corrective actions that have been taken to reduce the releases and the proposed corrective actions to be taken to assure that subsequent releases will be in compliance with the above limits. Remedial Action: With the calculated dose from the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents exceeding twice the limits in Section 2.2.4 or Section 2.2.5, calculations should be made including direct radiation contributions from significant plant sources to determine whether the limits of 40 CFR 190 have been exceeded. If such is the case, prepare and submit a report to the Commission within 30 days. The report shall define the corrective action to be taken to reduce subsequent releases to prevent recurrence of exceeding the limits and include the schedule for achieving conformance with the limits. If the release condition resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190, has not already been corrected, the report shall include a request for a variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190. 04/01 8

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Submittal of the report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete. Basis: These requirements are provided to implement the guidance of Sections II.C, IILA, and IV.A of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The limiting conditions for operation are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix 1. The specification provides the required operating flexibility and at the same time assures that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from all effluent release points combined will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The ODCM calculational methods implement the guidance in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a member of the public through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate specifications for Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and radioactive material in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man in areas at and beyond the site boundary. The pathways which are examined in the development of these calculations are: I. Individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides.

2.

Deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man.

3.

Deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat-producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man; and

4.

Deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure to man. The remedial action requiring calculations if releases exceed two times the design objectives is included to assure that appropriate reports and requests for variance are made should effluents exceed the limits set forth in 40 CFR Part 190. 4/98 9

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 2.2.6 Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System [

1.

The Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System shall be used to reduce radioactive materials in gaseous waste prior to their discharge when the estimated gaseous effluent air doses due to gaseous effluent releases from the site to areas at and beyond the site boundary would exceed 0.2 mrad for gamma radiation and 0.4 mrad for beta radiation over 31 days. [ The Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System shall be used to reduce radioactive materials in gaseous waste prior to their discharge when the estimated doses due to gaseous effluent releases from the site to areas at and beyond the site boundary would exceed 0.3 mrem to any organ over 31 days. [ Exception: Structures may be isolated from the Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System and [ released for demolition provided the pre-demolition contamination levels specified in Table [ 2.7, Radioactive Gaseous Waste Sampling and Analysis Program, are met. Reduction of [ contamination to those levels by any of various source term reduction and/or [ decontamination methods shall be deemed as "Treatment" for purposes of this specification. [ To further minimize the potential for release of radioactive material during demolition, [ however, engineering controls should be employed as additional treatment options and may [ include use of a non-soluble fixative or application of a water mist spray to minimize fugitive emissions. Remedial Action: With gaseous waste being discharged without processing through appropriate treatment systems, as defined in the ODCM and in excess of the above limits, prepare and submit to the Commission a report with the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report that includes the following information:

a.

Explanation of why gaseous radwaste was being discharged without treatment, identification of any inoperable equipment or subsystems, and the reasons for the inoperability;

b.

Action(s) taken to restore any inoperable equipment to operable status; and

c.

Summary description of action(s) taken to prevent a recurrence. Basis: The requirement that the appropriate portions of the Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System be used when specified provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable."

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 2.4 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program A program shall be provided to monitor the radiation and radionuclides in the environs of the plant. The program shall provide (1) representative measurements of the radioactivity in the highest potential exposure pathways, and (2) verification of the accuracy of the effluent monitoring program and modeling of environmental exposure pathways. The program shall [ (1) be contained in the ODCM, (2) conform to the guidance of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50, and (3) include the following:

1)

Monitoring, sampling, analysis, and reporting of radiation and radionuclides in the environment in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM.

2)

A Land Use Census to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census, AND

3)

Participation in a Inter-laboratory Comparison Program to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive materials in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the Quality Assurance Program for environmental monitoring. 2.4.1 Applicabilitv This section applies at all times to radiological environmental surveillance and land use census. 2.4.2 Objective The objective of this section is to verify that plant operations have no significant radiological effect on the environment and that continued operation will not result in radiological effects detrimental to the environment. The program also shall verify that any measurable concentrations of radioactive materials related to plant operations are not significantly higher than expected based on effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. 2.4.3 Radiological Environmental Monitoring

1.

The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program shall be conducted as specified in Table 2.3 with Lower Limits of Detection (LLDs) as specified in Table 2.4.

2.

With the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program not being conducted as specified in Table 2.3, prepare and submit to the Commission, in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report, a description of the reasons for not conducting the program as required and the plans for preventing a recurrence. 02/02 16

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL

3.

With the level of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium at a location specified in Table 2.3 exceeding a reporting level of Table 2.5 when averaged over any calendar quarter, prepare and submit to the Commission with the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, following receipt of the laboratory analyses, a reprt which includes an evaluation of any release conditions, environmental factors, or other aspects which caused the limits of Table 2.5 to be exceeded. When more than one of the radionuclides in Table 2.5 are detected in the sampling medium, this report shall be submitted if: concentration (I) + concentration (2) +...>1.0 reporting level (1) reporting level (2) Exception: When radionuclides other than those in Table 2.5 are detected and are the result of plant effluents, this report shall be submitted if the potential annual dose to an individual is equal to or greater than the calendar year limits in Sections 2.1.4, 2.2.4, and 2.2.5. This report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity was not the result of plant effluents; however, in such an event, the condition shall be reported and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

4.

With milk samples no longer available from one or more of the sample locations required by Table 2.3, identify the new location(s) if available, for obtaining replacement samples and add to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program within 30 days. The specific location(s) from which samples were no longer available may then be deleted from the Monitonng Program. Identify the cause of the samples no longer being available and identify the new location(s) for obtaining available replacement samples in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. Basis: The radiological environmental monitoring required by this specification provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from the station operation. This monitoring program thereby supplements the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurement and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Program changes may be initiated based on operational experience. A two-zone sample collection network has been established for environmental surveillance. Samples are collected in Zone I at locations in the vicinity of the plant where concentrations of plant effluents may be detectable. These samples are compared to samples which have been collected simultaneously at locations in Zone II where the concentration of plant effluents is expected to be negligible. The Zone II samples provide a running background which will make it possible to distinguish significant radioactivity introduced into the environment by the operation of the plant from that introduced by weapons testing or other sources. Routine particulate samples are collected in Zone I and II. In addition, sampling is performed in locations in Zone I when a building is no longer tied into existing ventilation systems as described in the ODCM Figure 6.2, Maine Yankee Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System, has [ large permanent openings to the environment, and is subject to active demolition activities. Demolition occurs after source term has been removed from these buildings and [ decontamination performed as necessary. No significant effluent release is expected during [ demolition activities. The number and location of sampling points is dependent on the activities performed. Air samplers are placed in or withn close proximity of buildings [ undergoing demolition activities to provide reasonably assessment of the airborne activity that may be generated. Sampling during demolition activities is performed to validate models and assumptions used to bound demolition effluent releases. 02/02 17

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL The detection capabilities required by Table 2.4 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an _ posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. This does not preclude the calculation of an a posteriori LLD for a particular measurement based upon the actual parameters for the sample in question. 2.4.4 Land Use Census

1.

An annual land use census within the distance of five miles shall be conducted to identify the location of the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence, and the nearest garden of 50 m2. In lieu of a garden census, broad leaf vegetation of at least three different kinds may be sampled at or near the site boundary in two different sections.

2.

With a land use census identifying a location(s) which yields a calculated dose commitment (via the same exposure pathway) at least twice than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained in accordance with Section 2.4.3.1, identify the new locations in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. If permission from the owner to collect samples can be obtained and sufficient sample volume is available, then this new location shall be added to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program within 30 days. The sampling location having the lowest calculated dose or dose commitment (via the same exposure pathway) may be deleted at this time.

3.

The land use census shall be conducted at least once per 12 months between the dates of June 1 and October 1. The results of the land use census shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. Basi: This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the site boundary are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census. The addition of new sampling locations to Section 2.4.3.1 based on the land use census is limited to those locations which yield a dose commitment at least twice the calculated dose commitment at any location currently being sampled. This eliminates the unnecessary changing of the Environmental Radiation Monitoring Program for new locations which, within the accuracy of the calculation, contribute essentially the same to the dose or dose commitment as the location already sampled. The substitution of a new sampling point for one already sampled when the calculated difference in dose is less than a factor of 2 would not be expected to result in a significant increase in the ability to detect plant effluent-related nuclides. Changes in the location of monitoring locations are not to be done lightly since frequent changes disrupt time series and may make interpretation of data more difficult. 1/92 18

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 2.4.5 Interlaboratorv Comparison Program Analyses shall be performed on applicable radioactive environmental samples supplied as part of an interlaboratory comparison program which has been approved by NRC, if such a program exists. If analyses are not performed as required above, a report shall be made in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. Basis: Participation in an NRC-approved interlaboratory comparison program (if one exists) provides quality assurance for the environmental laboratory, similar to programs in place for other environmental monitoring efforts, such as that for water quality. 1/92 19

The LLD is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with 95% probability and that only a 5% probability exists of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal. For a particular measurement system (which may include radiochemical separation): 4.66

  • Sb,~

LLD= E*V*2.22*Y*Exp(-l*At) where: LLD is the "a priori" lower limit of detection as defined above (as picocuries per unit mass or volume). 4.66 is a constant derived from the KA,Iph and KbeXR values for the 95% confidence level. Sb is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute). E is the counting efficiency (as counts per disintegration). V is the sample size (in units of mass or volume). 2.22 is the number of disintegration per minute per picocuries. Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable). X is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide. At is the elapsed time between sample collection and analysis. Typical values of E, V, Y, and At can be used in the calculation. 1192 23

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL TABLE 2.4 (Continued) Table Notation This equation results in an LLD in terms of picocuries. For the purposes of Section 2.5 (Tables [ 2.6 and 2.7), where the required LLD is set forth in microcuries, the terms 2.22 in the denominator should be replaced by 2.22E6, which is the number of disintegrations per minute per microcurie. In calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma-ray spectrometry, the background shall include the typical contributions of other radionuclides normally present in the samples (e.g., Potassium-40 in milk samples). The analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally, background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unavailable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

b.

It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. This does not preclude the calculation of an a posteriori LLD for a particular measurement based upon the actual parameters for the sample in question and appropriate decay correction parameters, such as decay while sampling and during analysis.

c.

Parent only.

d.

If the measured concentration minus the three standard deviation uncertainty is found to exceed the specified LLD, the sample does not have to be analyzed to meet the specified LLD.

e.

This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered. Other peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the listed nuclides, shall also be analyzed and reported in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Specification 5.9.1.5.

f.

The Ba-1 40 LLD and concentration can be determined by the analysis of its short-lived daughter product, La-140, subsequent to an eight-day period following collection. The calculation shall be predicated on the normal ingrowth equations for a parent-daughter situation and the assumption that any unsupported La-140 in the sample would have decayed to an insignificant amount (at least 3.6% of its original value). The ingrowth equations will assume that the supported La-140 activity at the time of collection is zero. 04/01 24

A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen which is representative of the liquids released.

c.

To be representative of the quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples shall be collected during release and composited in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream. Prior to analyses, all samples taken for the composite shall be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the effluent release.

A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. Prior to sampling for analyses, each batch shall be isolated, and then thoroughly mixed to assure representative sampling

e.

A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a non-discrete volume; e g, from a volume of system that has an input flow during the continuous release.

f.

The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification will apply are exclusively the [ following radionuclides: Mn-54, Co-60, Zn-65, Cs-134, and Cs-137. Ce-144 shall also be measured, but with an LLD of 5 x I 06. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered.

The ratio of the sample flow rate to the sampled stream flow rate shall be known for the time period covered by each dose or dose rate calculation made in accordance with Sections 2.2.3, 2.2.4, and 2.2.5.

c.

The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification applies exclusively are the following radionuclides: Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 for gaseous emissions and Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144 for particulate emissions. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses should not be reported as being present at the LLD level for that nuclide but as "not detected." When unusual circumstances result in LLDs higher than required, the reasons shall be documented in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 6.2 Gaseous Effluent Monitor Setpoints Section 2.5.6 requires that radioactive gaseous effluents be continuously monitored with the alarm/trip selpoints of the monitors set to ensure that the requirements of Section 2.2.3 are met. Section 2.5.6 ensures that the dose rate at any time at the site area boundary and beyond from gaseous effluents will be within the annual dose rate limits specified in section 2.2.3. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of a member of the public in an unrestricted area in excess of limits specified in 10 [CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1. This section of the ODCM describes the methodology that may be used to determine the setpoints of the gaseous effluent monitors. Gaseous effluent flow paths and release points, as well as the locations and identification numbers of the gaseous effluent radiation detectors, are shown in Figure 6.2. The methodology for determining alarm/trip set ints is divided into two parts. The first consists of calculating an allowable concentration for the radionuclide mixture to be released. The second consists of determining monitor response to this mixture in order to establish the physical settings on the monitors. 2/98 58

ECL, is the effluent concentration of radionuclide i as specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1, in uCi/cc.

R< 1. (6-7) 6.2.2 Monitor Response for Gaseous Effluents Normal radioactivity releases consist mainly of well-decayed fission gases. Therefore, monitor response calibrations are performed using fission gas with an energy representative of release conditions. The total concentration of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents, in uCi/cc, at the monitor is calculated. The calibration curve or constant, in cpm/(uCi/cc) is applied to determine the expected cpm for the mix of radionuclides.

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 7.0 METEOROLOGY The atmospheric dilution factors in the dose calculation methods assume an individual whose behavior leads to a dose higher than expected for anyone else. Since long term (5-year) average meteorology is expected to be representative of the area, the location of the critical receptor can be predicted by scanning all the reasonable off-site locations to find the location with the most limiting dilution factors. Important off-site locations are: site boundaries and nearest residences in each of the sixteen meteorological sectors, as well as all milk farm locations within five miles of the plant. Exposure pathways assumed to exist at site boundary locations are direct exposure from radioactive materials in the air, direct exposure from radioactive materials deposited on the ground, and exposure from inhalation of radioactive materials. In addition to the pathways present at site boundary locations, exposure pathways present at each residence are assumed to include ingestion of radionuclides in home grown vegetables. Farm locations include all exposure pathways found at residences plus ingestion of radionuclides in meat and milk. Meteorological data for the year 1986 through 1990 were analyzed for the values of the maximum average dilution factors at the important receptor locations described above. Yankee Atomic Electric Company's (YAEC) AEOLUS-2 computer code (Reference 5) calculated all atmospheric dilution factors. Appendix B briefly describes the YAEC AEOLUS-2 computer code model. Table 7.1 lists the maximum average dilution factors for ground level release points. The current atmospheric dispersion factors (1986 through 1990) were compared with more recent estimates using meteorological data from 1993 through 1996, and 1998, and were found to be approximately the same; therefore, it was concluded that there has been no climatic changes that would require the update of the current atmospheric dispersion factors. In addition, the atmospheric dispersion factors for ground level releases are more restrictive than those for the plant's Primary Vent Stack. Therefore, doses resulting from releases associated with the Primary Vent Stack can be conservatively calculated using the ground level atmospheric dispersion factors. With the permanent shutdown of the reactor, plant operations and systems that generated discrete batch releases of radioactive gases have been eliminated. On-going releases associated ventilation exhaust may be modeled as continuous in nature and, therefore, historical average value of atmospheric dispersion factors may be used in lieu of concurrent meteorology to determine doses. Each dose and dose rate calculation method incorporates the maximum applicable off-site average dilution factors listed in Table 7.1. The maximum potential dose to a member of the public in any [ year ill be conservatively estimated (Method I only) by the dose calculated for a full-time resident [living on a hypothetical milk farm 385 meters from the plant in the NNW sector. 08102 62

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL APPENDIX A Basis for the Dose Calculation Methods A.I Liquid Effluent Doses Method I is used to demonstrate compliance with Section 2.1.4 which limits the dose commitment to a member of the public from radioactive materials in liquid effluents. Liquid pathways contributing to individual doses at the Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Station are: ingestion of fish and shellfish, and direct exposure from shoreline deposits. The potable water pathway and the irrigated foods pathway are not considered since the receiving water is not suitable for either drinking or irrigation. Method I is derived from Equations A-3 and A-7 of Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2). Equation A-3 calculates radiation doses from aquatic foods. Equation A-7 from shoreline deposits. The use of the methodology of Equations A-3 and A-7 for a I curie release of each radionuclide in liquid effluents yielded the dose impact to the critical organ. Table 3.1 lists the resulting site specific total body and critical organ dose conversion factors giving the number of millirem per curie released for each radionuclide. Since the dose factors of Table 3.1 represent a variety of critical organs, Method I conservatively calculates a critical organ dose consisting of the maximum critical organ for each radionuclide of any of the four age groups, and combines them into a composite individual independent of age. Except for the site specific values noted below, the parameter values recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2) were used to derive the liquid dose factors for Method 1. Table A-I lists the usage factors for liquid pathways utilized in the dose analysis. Liquid effluents dischar e from the plant via a submerged multi-port diffuser which extends approximately 1000 feet into the tidal estuary and had a design circulating water flow of 420,000 gpm (935 ft3/sec). For the aquatic foods pathway, the dilution for the mixing effect of the diffuser based on that design flow was set at a minimum of 10 to I in the Method I dose factors (Reference 6). That dilution applied to the edge of the initial mixing zone where the effluent had undergone prompt [dilution ony. Under previous release conditions with no forced circulating water flow, tidal flushing of the plant s forebay increases the dilution factor to 50 to I (i.e., mixing ratio = I /dilution factor, or 0.020) for near-field mixing effects of discharges from the diffuser to the river (Reference 10) for practical purposes. Therefore, the Method I dose factors (Table 3.1), which have not been revised to Incorporate a new mixing ratio, remain conservatively based on the lower 10 to I dilution. After the forebay and diffuser are decommissioned and hence eliminated from the discharge path, the existing dilution factors can be applied to liquid effluent discharged directly to the Back River. The continued use ofthose dilution factors is supported by a dilution analysis (Reference 11) leading to the conclusion that, when applied to liquid effluent discharged directly to the Back River, use of existing dilution factors provide the same or greater level of conservatism as in prior dose calculations. For shoreline deposits, the nearest point where tidal flats could be occupied on a recurring basis is in Bailey Cove which borders the site on the south and west. The estimated average dilution for Bailey Cove with respect to the discharge is approximately 25 to I (Reference 6). 06/02 64

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL APPENDIX A Shoreline activities in the vicinity of the site include a commercial worm digging industry along the tidal flats of Montsweag Bay. In the area of the plant (Bailey Cove), a commercial worm digger could occupy the mud flats for as long as 325 hours per year. This occupancy time is applied to both adults and teenagers in the dose calculations. For Method 1, the period of time for which sediment is exposed to the contaminated water is fifteen years. This time period represents the approximate mid-point of plant operating lifetime, and thus allows for the calculation of a plant lifetime average concentration of radioactivity in sediment. No credit is taken for the decay of activity in transit from the discharge point to the sediment in Bailey Cove. 3/93 65

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL APPENDIX A A.2 Total Body Dose Rate from Noble Gases Method I can be used to demonstrate compliance with Section 2.2.3.l.a, which limits total body dose rate from noble gases released to the atmosphere. Method I applies the methods of Equation B-8 in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2) as follows: D~b = SF 3.17E+04 [X/QPy E Q. DFB, (A-l) where: Dtb is the annual total body dose, in mremlyr; SF is the attenuation factor that accounts for the dose reduction due to shielding provided by residential structures, but for all dose rate calculations is assumed to be equal to I (dimensionless); 3.17E+04 is the number of pCi per Ci divided by the number of seconds per year; [X/QJY is the effective long term average gamma dilution factor, in sec/m3; Q. is the annual release rate of radionuclide i, in Ci/yr; and

DFB, is the total body gamma dose factor for radionuclide i, in mrem-m3/pCi-yr.

For a release from the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent, the analysis of Maine Yankee five-year average meteorology presented in Section 7.0 yielded a maximum effective average ganuna dilution factor, EXQ]Y, of 4.14E-06 sec/m3. The maximum gamma dilution factor was identified for an off-site point located 385 meters north-northwest of the plant. The maximum gamma dilution factor for the site boundary along the river's near shoreline has been determined to e a more restrictive value. However, the definition of site boundary in the Technical Specifications allows for the use of occupancy factors in assessing doses, and the expanded definition of unrestricted area in NUREG-0133 (Reference 7) also does not require dose evaluations over water. For those portions of the adjacent shoreline to the site boundary where mudflats are exposed during low tide, an occupancy factor for worm diggers (0.037) is applied to the average gamma dilution factor at those locations. As a result, the opposite shoreline atmospheric gamma dilution factor becomes limiting due to its assumed full time occupancy since physical constraints (areas over water) do not exist, and there is no control on occupancy available. It [ should be noted that controlling the maximum dose rate to 500 mrem per year at a land boundary still ensures that the dose rate on the exposed mudflats during low tide will not exceed a value which would give rise to two mrem in one hour [10 CFR 20] even assuming continuous occupancy during the hour. Incorporating the above into Equation A-I and converting from annual release Q (Ci/yr) to maximum instantaneous release rate O (uCi-sec), and multiplying by the conversion constant 31.54 Ci-sec/uCi-yr yields the method to calculate total body dose rate from noble gases: [Dtb = 4-14 E 0 DFB0 (A-2) 08102 67

Since the Primary Vent Stack is modeled as a mixed mode release point, and the Fuel Buildin Exhaust Vent as a ground level release, the Method I total body dose rate equation for the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent can be used as a conservative (bounding) estimate for any releases from the Primary Vent Stack. A.3 Skin Dose Rate From Noble Gases Method I is used to demonstrate compliance with Section 2.2.3.l.a, which limits skin dose rate from noble gases released to the atmosphere, for the peak noble gas release rate. Method I applies the methods of Equation 11 in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2) as follows: (A-3) = 1.11 SF 3.17E+04 [X/QOy E Qf DFY + 3.17E+04 X/Q E Q1 DFSj where: ~skin is the annual skin dose rate, in mrem/yr; 1.11 is the average ratio of tissue to air energy absorption coefficient; Sr is the attenuation factor that accounts for the dose reduction due to shielding provided by residential structures, but for all dose rate calculations is assumed to be equal to I (dimensionless); 3.177E+04 is the number of pCi per Ci divided by the number of seconds per year; VJlQ]r is the effective long term average gamma dilution factor in sec/m3; Q. is the annual release rate of radionuclide i, in Ci/yr; DFY is the gamma air dose factor for a uniform semi-infinite cloud of radionuclide i, in 1 mrad-m3/pCi-yr; X/Q is the long term average undepleted dilution factor in sec/nm; and 08/02 68

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL APPENDIX A

DFS, is the beta skin dose factor for a semi-infinite cloud of radionuclide i, which includes the attenuation by the outer "dead" layer of the skin, in mrem-m3 IpCi-yr (taken from Reference 2, Table B-i).

For a release from the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent, the maximum effective five year average [ gamma dilution factor [XIQ]T, is 4.14E-06 sec/m3 (see Table 7.1), and the maximum five year [ average undepleted dilution factor, X/Q, is l.75E-05 sec/M3 (see Table 7. 1). Incorporating these constants into Equation A-3 and converting from annual release Q (Cilyr) to maximum instantaneous release rate 0 (uCi/sec) and multiplying by the conversion factor 31.54 Ci-sec/uCi-yr yields: y Oskin =4 6 01 DF + 17.5 E 01 DFS1 1 1 1 (A-4) y [ = E [4.6 DF + 17.5 DFS1]. A combined skin dose factor, DFi. may be defined: [ DFD = 4.6 DFY + 17.5 DFS1. Incorporating the combined skin dose factor, DF , into Equation A-4 yields the method to calculate skin dose rate from noble gases: bskin 1E 0 DF 08102 69

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL APPENDIX A Since the only noble gas applicable to Maine Yankee is Kr-85, the equation can be simplified with DFKR.gs5 equal to 1.72E-05 (mrad-m3/pCi-yr) and DFSKr,5 equal to 1.34E-03 (mnrad-m 3/pCi-hr) as taken from Regulator Guide 1.109, Table B-1 (Ref. 2). This reduces the equation for Fuel Building Exhaust Vent skin dose rate in mrem/yr from Kr-85 to: [ Liskn = orr-85 (4.6(1.72E-05) + 17.5 (1.34E-03)) = 2.35E-02 res [ Vskfn = 2.35E-02

As noted above for the total body dose rate, the Primary Vent Stack is modeled as a mixed mode release point, and the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent as a ground level release. Therefore, Method I skin dose rate equation for the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent can also be used as a conservative estimate for any releases from the Primary Vent Stack since the maximum point dispersion estimates for the ground level release model will bound that of the part-time elevated (mixed mode) release case. A.4 Critical Organ Dose Rate From lodines and Particulates Method I is used to demonstrate compliance with Section 2.2.5, which limits the dose rate from lodine-131, lodine-133, tritium, and radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days. The method to calculate the critical organ dose rate from radioactive iodines and particulates is derived from ODCM Equation 4-6 which limits the dose to the critical organ from radioactive iodines and particulates, D.0 = Q DFGk, (A-5) where: Dco is the dose to the critical organ from Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days, in mrem; Q. is the total activity of radionuclide i released via the plant Primary Vent Stack and the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent during the period of interest, in Ci; and DFGCO is the site specific critical organ dose factor for radionuclide i for a gaseous release, in mremfCi (see Table 4.4). 08/02 70

For site boundaries adjacent to Back River and Bailey Cove, the off-site atmospheric dispersion parameters were determined (see Table 7.1) for locations on the opposite shore where there is a potential for exposure pathway's to exist on a continuous basis. The maximum of all off-site atmospheric dispersion parameters in any direction was selected in the determination of potential doses from iodines and particulates. -The dose commitments to an individual from Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days released to the atmosphere via the plant stack are calculated using the methods of Equations C-2, C-4, and C-13 in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2). Gaseous pathways assumed to contribute to individual doses at Maine Yankee are: external irradiation from radionuclides deposited on the ground surface, inhalation of radionuclides in air, and ingestion of atmospherically released radionuclides in food. The use of the methodology of Equations C-2, C-4, and C-13 for a one curie release of each radionuclide in gaseous effluents yielded the dose impact to the critical organ. Table 4.4 lists the resulting site specific critical organ dose factors for plant stack and Fuel Building Exhaust Vent releases giving the number of millirem per curie released for each radionuclide. Since the dose factors of Table 4.4 represent a variety of critical organs, Method I conservatively calculates a critical organ dose consisting of a combination of critical organs of different age groups. Parameter values used to derive the critical organ dose factors for iodines and particulates are listed on Tables A-2 and A-3. 08/02 74

Historical TLD measurements were used to [ normalize a source-distance computer model using the MCNP4C computer code to predict exposures at a [ distance typically beyond the ability of direct measurement. The closest off-site land boundary of [ predicted maximum potential exposures is approximately 1000 feet along the WNWINW opposite C shoreline of Bailey Cove. The predicted relationship between on-site TLD measurements and the far C shoreline are used to estimate the direct dose from primary plant structures and materials located in the [ original Protected Area. Federal regulations (40 CFR 190) state that a dose limit of 25 mrem/year to the [ total body or any organ from all uranium fuel cycle sources (including direct radiation) applies to real [ individuals in the areas impacted at or beyond the site boundary. This allows for consideration of [ occupancy time that members of the public may be subject to exposures.

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL APPENDIX B MeteoroloE v Long term (annual and five-year) average dilution factors based on on-site meteorological data were computed for routine primary vent stack and fuel building exhaust vent, releases by the Yankee Atomic Electric Company's (YAEC) AEOLUS-2 (Reference 5) computer code. AEOLUS-2 is based, in part, on the straight-line airflow model as discussed in Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Reference 8). The following AEOLUS-2 features were used in the assessment of dilution factors for the Maine Yankee site: hourly meteorological data input (wind direction, wind speed, and vertical temperature difference) straight-line air flow model with Gaussian diffusion, part-time ground level and part-time elevated releases (split-H model),* multi-energy sector-averaged finite cloud dilution factors for gamma dose calculations, terrain height correction features,* plume rise (momentum),* depletion in transit, wind speed extrapolated as a function of release height.* dry deposition rates (based on Regulatory Guide 1.1 11). The following sector-average dilution and deposition factors were produced: non-depleted dilution factors for evaluating ground level concentrations of noble gases, tritium, carbon 14 and non-elemental iodines, depleted dilution factor for estimating ground level concentrations of elemental radioiodines and other particulates, effective gamma dilution factors for evaluating gamma dose rates from a sector-averaged finite cloud (multiple-energy undepleted source), and deposition factors for computing dry deposition of elemental radioiodines and other particulates.

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 2.2.3 Gaseous Effluents: Dose Rate

1.

The dose rate (when averaged over one hour) 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 to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body, and less than or equal to 3,000 mremlyear to the skin; and

b.

For Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days to less than or equal to 1,500 mrem/year to any organ. Remedial Action: With the dose rates averaged over a period of one hour exceeding the above limits, without delay take action to decrease the release rate to comply with the limit. Basis: These requirements are provided to ensure that the dose rate at any time at the site area boundary and beyond from gaseous effluents from all effluent release points combined (i.e., primary vent stack, fuel building exhaust, and building demolition activities) will be within the annual dose li mits of 10 CFR Part 20 while still providing operational flexibility, compatible with considerations of health and safety, which may temporarily result in releases higher than the absolute value of the concentration values in Appendix B. Reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of a member of the public in an unrestricted area to annual doses exceeding the limits specified in 10CFR 20.1001-20.2402 is provided. For members of the public who may at times be within the site boundary area, the occupancy time will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that at the site boundary. - The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the site area boundary to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body, or to less than or equal to 3,000 mremlyear to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to an infant via the milk-infant pathway to less than or equal to 1,500 mrem/year for the nearest real milk animal to the plant. 02/02 6

With the level of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium at a location specified in Table 2.3 exceeding a reporting level of Table 2.5 when averaged over any calendar quarter, prepare and submit to the Commission with the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, following receipt of the laboratory analyses, a report which includes an evaluation of any release conditions, environmental factors, or other aspects which caused the limits of Table 2.5 to be exceeded. When more than one of the radionuclides in Table 2.5 are detected in the sampling medium, this report shall be submitted if: concentration (s) + concentration (2) +...>1.0 reporting level (1) reporting level (2) Exception: When radionuclides other than those in Table 2.5 are detected and are the result of plant effluents, this report shall be submitted if the potential annual dose to an individual is equal to or greater than the calendar year limits in Sections 2.1.4, 2.2.4, and 2.2.5. This report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity was not the result of plant effluents; however, in such an event, the condition shall be reported and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

4.

With milk samples no longer available from one or more of the sample locations required by Table 2.3, identify the new location(s) if available, for obtaining replacement samples and add to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program within 30 days. The specific location(s) from which samples were no longer available may then be deleted from the Monitoring Program. Identify the cause of the samples no longer being available and identify the new location(s) for obtaining available replacement samples in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. Basis: The radiological environmental monitoring required by this specification provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from the station operation. This monitoring program thereby supplements the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurement and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Program changes may be initiated based on operational experience. A two-zone sample collection network has been established for environmental surveillance. Samples are collected in Zone I at locations in the vicinity of the plant where concentrations of plant effluents may be detectable. These samples are compared to samples which have been collected simultaneously at locations in Zone II where the concentration of plant effluents is expected to be negligible. The Zone II samples provide a running background which will make it possible to distinguish significant radioactivity introduced into the environment by the operation of the plant from that introduced by weapons testing or other sources. Routine particulate samples are collected in Zone I and II. In addition, sampling is performed in locations in Zone I when a building is no longer tied into existing ventilation systems as described in the ODCM Figure 6.2, Maine Yankee Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System, has large permanent openings to the environment, and is subject to active demolition activities. Demolition occurs after source term has been removed from these buildings and decontamination performed as necessary. No significant effluent release is expected during demolition activities. The number and location of sampling points is dependent on the activities performed. Air samplers are placed in or within close proximity of buildings undergoing demolition activities to provide reasonably assessment of the airborne activity that may be generated. Sampling during demolition activities is performed to validate models and assumptions used to bound demolition effluent releases. 02/02 17

a.

The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is defined in Table Notation a of Table 2.4 of Section 2.4.

b.

The ratio of the sample flow rate to the sampled stream flow rate shall be known for the time period covered by each dose or dose rate calculation made in accordance with Sections 2.2.3, 2.2.4, and 2.2.5.

c.

The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification applies exclusively are the following radionuclides: Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 for gaseous emissions and Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144 for particulate emissions.

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL If such is the case, prepare and submit a report to the Commission within 30 days. The report shall define the corrective action to be taken to reduce subsequent releases to prevent recurrence of exceeding the limits and include the schedule for achieving conformance with the limits. If the release condition resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190, has not already been corrected, the report shall include a request for a variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190. Submittal of the report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is comnplete. Basis: These requirements are provided to implement the guidance of.Sections II.A, III.A, and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The specification provides the required operating -flexibility and, at the same time, assures that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable" as set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I. In addition, since the facility is located on a saltwater estuary, the release of radioactive waste in liquids will not result in radionuclide concentrations in finished drinking water, which would be in excess of the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190. The impact of discharging liquid effluent directly to the Back River has been modeled and assessed (Reference 1 1), which provide the basis for a dilution factor equal to 1 10. This factor provides conservative Method I dose estimates for liquid effluent discharged directly to the Back River. The dilution model assumes that liquid effluent discharges are approximately 2,000 gallons and made no more frequently than once per tide cycle. One of the limiting conditions on this model is a restriction on the size of the near field-mixing zone. The model does not allow the edge of the 10:1 dilution isopleth (which is equivalent to the original near field mixing credit) to reach the shoreline where members of the public could have access. The rationale behind this is to limit the shoreline exposure to gamma emitters that might be present in the liquid waste. If liquid effluent contains only low concentrations of tritium (beta emitter only), then the shoreline exposure limitation does not apply and the discharge volume can be larger than 2,000 gallons per tide cycle. The dose calculations performed in accordance with the methods and parameters in this ODCM implement the guidance in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a member of the public through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The remedial action requiring calculations when releases exceed two times the design objectives is included to assure that appropriate reports and requests for variance are made should effluents exceed the limits set forth in 40 CFR Part 190. 2.1.5 Liquid Radwaste Treatment I. The Liquid Radwaste Treatment System shall be used in its designed modes of operation to reduce the radioactive materials in the liquid waste prior to its discharge when the estimated doses due to the liquid effluent from the site, when averaged with all other liquid releases over the last 31 days, would exceed 0.06 mrem to the total body, or 0.2 mrem to any organ. 06/02 4

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL APPENDIX A Basis for the Dose Calculation Methods A.1 Liquid Effluent Doses Method I is used to demonstrate compliance with Section 2.1.4 which limits the dose commitment to a member of the public from radioactive materials in liquid effluents. Liquid pathways contributing to individual doses at the Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Station are: ingestion of fish and shellfish, and direct exposure from shoreline deposits. The potable water pathway and the irrigated foods pathway are not considered since the receiving water is not suitable for either drinking or irrigation. Method I is derived from Equations A-3 and A-7 of Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2). Equation A-3 calculates radiation doses from aquatic foods. Equation A-7 from shoreline deposits. The use of the methodology of Equations A-3 and A-7 for a 1 curie release of each radionuclide in liquid effluents yielded the dose impact to the critical organ. Table 3.1 lists the resulting site specific total body and critical organ dose conversion factors giving the number of millirem per curie released for each radionuclide. Since the dose factors of Table 3.1 represent a variety of critical organs, Method I conservatively calculates a critical organ dose consisting of the maximum critical organ for each radionuclide of any of the four age groups, and combines them into a composite individual independent of age. Except for the site specific values noted below, the parameter values recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2) were used to derive the liquid dose factors for Method 1. Table A-I lists the usage factors for liquid pathways utilized in the dose analysis. Liquid effluents discharge from the plant via a submerged multi-port diffuser which extends approximately 1000 feet into the tidal estuary and had a design circulating water flow of 420,000 gpm (935 ft3/sec). For the aquatic foods pathway, the dilution for the mixing effect of the diffuser based on that design flow was set at a minimum of 1 0 to 1 in the Method I dose factors (Reference 6). That dilution applied to the edge of the initial mixing zone where the effluent had undergone prompt [ dilution only. Under previous release conditions with no forced circulating water flow, tidal flushing of the plant s forebay increases the dilution factor to 50 to I (i.e., mixing ratio = I/dilution factor, or 0.020) for near-field mixing effects of discharges from the diffuser to the river (Reference 10) for [ practical purposes. Therefore, the Method I dose factors (Table 3. 1), which have not been revised to [ incorporate a new mixing ratio, remain conservatively based on the lower 10 to 1 dilution. After the [ forebay and diffuser are decommissioned and hence eliminated from the discharge path, the existing [ dilution factors can be applied to liquid effluent discharged directly to the Back River. The continued use of those dilution factors is supported by a dilution analysis (Reference I 1) leading to the [ conclusion that, when applied to liquid effluent discharged directly to the Back River, use of existing [ dilution factors provide the same or greater level of conservatism as in Prior dose calculations. For shoreline deposits, the nearest point where tidal flats could be occupied on a recurring basis is in Bailey Cove which borders the site on the south and west. The estimated average dilution for Bailey Cove with respect to the discharge is approximately 25 to I (Reference 6). 06/02 64

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 2.0 RELEASE OF RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS 2.1 Release of Liquid Radioactive Effluents 2.1.1 Applicability The requirements in this section apply at all times to the release of all liquid waste discharged from the plant which may contain radioactive materials. 2.1.2 Objective The objective is to establish conditions for the release of liquid waste containing radioactive [ materials and to assure that doses to the public resulting from all such releases are within the [ limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20, and also assure that the releases from the site of radioactive materials in liquid wastes (above background) are kept "as low as is reasonably achievable" in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I. 2.1.3 Liquid Effluents: Concentration I. The concentration of radioactive material in liquid effluents released from the site to [ unrestricted areas shall be limited to not more than ten times the concentrations [ specified in 10 CFR, Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. Remedial Action: With the concentration of radioactive material released from the site to unrestricted areas exceeding the above limits, without delay take action to restore the concentration to within the above limits. [ Basis: These limitations apply to the concentration of radioactive materials released in the [ liquid waste effluents from the site to unrestricted areas at the point of discharge into the [I Back River. Concentration levels specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 [ were established to control the dose to the public to within the limits specified in 10 CFR [ 20.1301 and 20.1302. Those values assure a continuous discharge at those concentrations [ (8760 hours per year). Pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a to maintain effluents [ as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA), Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 specifies dose values [ -that are a small percentage of the dose limits in 10 CFR 20.1301. Consistent with Appendix [ I to 10 CFR 50, to allow operational flexibility, this specification in conjunction with the, [ dose specification in Section 2.1.4.1 permits an instantaneous concentration release rate up to [ a factor of ten times greater than specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 [ while continuing to limit the total annual discharge to a small fraction of the allowable annual [ dose as specified in Appendix I. 08/02 2

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY, - OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL [ For determining compliance, it must be demonstrated that theconicentrations of radionuclides in [ liquid effluent prior to discharge to the Back River (Reference Section 6.1) meet the limits [ specified. The release path for liquid effluent allows difec'tdischirge into the Back River [ through a submerged discharge line. Additional dilution flow may be added into the discharge [ line (as shown in Figure 6.1) to ensure concentration limits are met. The volume of dilutiofi [ water is not included in the 2,000 gallons per tide cycle waste volume limit described in the [ Section 2.1.4.1 Basis. Liquid effluent must be discharged in a horizontal offshore direction [ through a 3-inch diameter hose from a position that is at least 1 foot above the riverbed in order to ensure sufficient localized mixing (Reference I 1). In addition, the discharge end of the line must be positioned at least 20 feet offshore beyond the low tide line and, during releases of liquid [ effluent, must be covered by at least.4 feet of water. Those, criteria provide assurance that. [ sufficieiitdilution is available to minimize shoreline doses (Reference ll). Any dilution or. [ mixing that occurs after the effluent has exited the discha* pipe, however, can not be used for arginipewowevrccannotbeausdofo [ determnining comnpliance with effluet concentration limits., I -\\ 2.1.4 Liquid Effluents: Dose

MAINE' YANKEE-ATONI4C POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 7.0 METEOROLOGY The atmospheric dilution factors in the dose calculatidif methods assume an individual whose behavior leads to a dose higher than expected for anyone else. Since long term (5-year) average meteorology is expected to be representative of the area, the location of the critical receptor can be predicted by scanning all the reasonable off-site locations to find the location with the most limiting dilution factors. Important off-site locations are: site boundaries and nearest residences in each of the sixteen meteorological sectors, as well as all milk farm locations within five miles of the plant. Exposure pathways assumed to exist at site boundary locations are direct exposure from radioactive materials in the air, direct exposure from radioactive materials deposited on the ground, and exposure from inhalation of radioactive materials.'@ In addition to the pathways present at site boundary locations, exposure pathways present at each residence are assumed to include ingestion of radionuclides in home grown vegetables. Farm locations include all exposure pathways found at residences plus ingestion of radionuclides in meat and milk.-, Meteorological data for the year 1986 through 1990 were analyzed for the values of the maximum average dilution factors at the important receptor locations described above. Yankee Atomic Electric Company's (YAEC) AEOLUS-2 computer code (Reference 5) calculated all atmospheric dilution factors. Appendix B briefly describes the YAEC AEOLUS-2 computer code model. Table 7.1 lists the maximum average dilution factors for ground level release points. The current atmospheric dispersion factors (1986 through 1990) were compared with more recent estimates using meteorological data from 1993 through 1996, and 1998, and were found to be approximately the same; therefore, it was concluded that there has been no climatic changes that would require the update of the current atmospheric dispersion factors. In addition, the atmospheric dispersion factors for ground level releases are more restrictive than those for the plant's Primary Vent Stack. Therefore, doses resulting from releases associated with the Primary Vent Stack can be conservatively calculated using the ground level atmospheric dispersion factors. With the permanent shutdown of the reactor, plant operations and systems that generated discrete batch releases of radioactive gases have been eliminated. On-going releases associated ventilation exhaust may be modeled as continuous ini nature and, therefore, historical average value of atmospheric dispersion factors may be used in lieu'of concurrent meteorology to determine doses. Each dose and dose rate calculation method incorporates the maximum applicable off-site average dilution factors listed in Table 7.1. The maximum potential dose to a member of the public in any [ year will be conservatively estimated (Method I only) by the dose calculated for a full-time resident living on a hypothetical milk farm 385 meters from the plant in the NNW sector. 08/02 62

Method I applies the methods of Equation B-8 in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2) as follows: Dtb= SF 3.17E+04 [X/Q]Y z Q, DFB,- (A-1) where: Db is the annual total body dose, in mreni/yr; SF is the attenuation factor that accounts for the dose reduction'due tot shielding provided by residential str-uctur-es, bout for all dose rate calculations is assumed to be equal to I (dimensionless); 3.17E+04 is the number of pCi per Ci divided by the number of seconds per year; [X/Q]Y is the effective long term average gamma dilution factor, in sec/m3; Q. is the annual release rate of radionuclide i, in Cilyr; and

DFB, is the total body gamma dose factor for radionuclide i; in mrem-m3/pCi-yr.

For a release from the'Fuli Building Exlhaust Vent, the analysis of Maine Yanke'e five'&year average meteorology presented in Section 7.0 yielded a maximum effective average gamma dilution factor, [ [X/Q]Y, of4.F4E-06 sec/m3. The maximum gamma dilution factor was identified for an off-site point [ located 385 meters north-northwest of the plant. The maximum gamma dilution factor for the site boundary along the river's near shoreline has been determined to be a more restrictive value. However, the definition of site boundary in the Technical Specifications allows for the use of occupancy factors in assessing doses, and the expanded definition of unrestricted area in NUREG-0133 (Reference 7) also does not require dose evaluations over water. For those portions of the adjacent shoreline to the site boundary where mudflats are exposed during low tide, an occupancy factor for worm diggers (0.037) is applied to the average gamma dilution factor at those locations. As a result, the opposite shoreline atmosphenic gamma dilution factor becomes limiting due to its assumed full time occupancy since physical constraints (areas over water) do not exist, and there is no control on occupancy available. It [ should be noted that controlling the maximum dose rate to 500 mrem per year at a land boundary still ensures that the dose rate on the exposed mudflats during low tide will not exceed a value which would give rise to two mrem in one hour [10 CFR 20] even assuming continuous occupancy during the hour. Incorporating the above into Equation A-I and converting from annual release Q (Ci/yr) to maximum instantaneous release rate () (uCi-sec), and multiplying by the conversion constant 31.54 Ci-sec/uCi-yr yields the method to calculate total body dose rate from noble gases: I Otb = 4.14 E oi DFB/ (A-2) 08/02 67

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL APPENDIX A Since the only noble gas applicable to Maine Yankee due to the permanent plant shutdown is Kr-85, DFBK, 85 = 1.61E-05 mrem - m3/pCi - yr, Table B-1, Ref. 5, the equation can be simplified to: 0tb = 6.66E-05 *Kr -85 (4-A) Since the Primary Vent Stack is modeled as a mixed mode release point, and the Fuel Buildin Exhaust Vent as a ground level release, the Method I total body dose rate equation for the Fuel Building -Exhaust Vent can be used as a conservative (bounding) estimate for any releases from the Primary Vent. Stack. A.3 Skin Dose Rate From Noble Gases Method I is used to demonstrate compliance with Section 2.2.3.1.a, which limits skin dose rate from noble gases released to the atmosphere, for the peak noble gas release rate. Method I applies the methods of Equation I 1 in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2) as follows: (A-3) Oskin = 1. 11 SF 3.17E+04 [X/Q]Y E Q, DFY + 3.17E+04 XIQ E Q1 DFS1 where: Dskin is the annual skin dose rate, in mrem/yr; 1.11 is the average ratio of tissue to air energy absorption coefficient; SF is the attenuation factor that accounts for the dose reduction due to shielding provided by residential structures, but for all dose rate calculations is assumed to be equal to 1 (dimensionless); 3.17E+04 is the number of pCi per Ci divided by the number of seconds per year; [)UQ]Y is the effective long term average gamma dilution factor in sec/m3; Q. is the annual release rate of radionuclide i, in Ci/yr; DFY is the gamma air dose factor for a uniform semi-infinite cloud of radionuclide i, in I mrad-m3/pCi-yr; X/Q is the long term average undepleted dilution factor in sec/m3; and 08/02 68

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL APPENDIX A Since the only noble gas applicable to Maine Yankee is Kr-85, the equation can be simplified with DFKR gss equal to 1.72E-05 (mrad-m3/pCi-yr) and DFSK, 85 equal to 1.34E-03 (mrad-m3/pCi-hr) as taken from Regulator Guide 1.109, Table B-1 (Ref. 2). This reduces the equation for Fuel Building Exhaust Vent skin dose rate in mrem/yr from Kr-85 to: [ skin =Kr-85 (4.6(1.72E-05) + 17.5 (1.34E-03)) = 2.35E-02 dKr-85 [ Oskin - 2.35E-02

As noted above for the total body dose rate, the Primary Vent Stack is modeled as a mixed mode release point, and the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent as a ground level release. Therefore, Method I skin dose rate equation for the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent can also be used as a conservative estimate for any releases from the Primary Vent Stack since the maximum point dispersion estimates for the ground level release model will bound that of the part-time elevated (mixed mode) release case. A.4 Critical Organ Dose Rate From lodines and Particulates Method I is used to demonstrate compliance with Section 2.2.5, which limits the dose rate from Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days.

Since the Primary Vent Stack is modeled as a mixed mode release point, and the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent as a ground level release, the Method I gamma air dose equation for the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent can also be used as a conservative estimate for any releases from the Primary Vent Stack since the maximum point dispersion estimates for the ground level release model will bound that of the part-time elevated (mixed mode) release case. 08/02 72

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL APPENDIX A A.7 Dose from lodines and Particulates Method I is used to demonstrate compliance with Section 2.2.5, which limits the dose commitment to a member of the public from Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days in gaseous effluents released via the Primary Vent Stack or the Fuel Building Exhaust Vent to areas at and beyond the site boundary. For site boundaries adjacent to Back River and Bailey Cove, the off-site atmospheric dispersion parameters were determined (see Table 7.1) for locations on the opposite shore where there is a potential for exposure pathway's to exist on a continuous basis. The maximum of all off-site atmospheric dispersion parameters in any direction was selected in the determination of potential doses from iodines and particulates. The dose commitments to an individual from Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days released to the atmosphere via the plant stack are calculated using the methods of Equations C-2, C4, and C-13 in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2). Gaseous pathways assumed to contribute to individual doses at Maine Yankee are: external irradiation from radionuclides deposited on the ground surface, inhalation of radionuclides in air, and ingestion of atmospherically released radionuclides in food. The use of the methodology of Equations C-2, C4, and C-13 for a one curie release of each radionuclide in gaseous effluents yielded the dose impact to the critical organ. Table 4.4 lists the resulting site specific critical organ dose factors for plant stack and Fuel Building Exhaust Vent releases giving the number of millirem per curie released for each radionuclide. Since the dose factors of Table 4.4 represent a variety of critical organs, Method I conservatively calculates a critical organ dose consisting of a combination of critical organs of different age groups. Parameter values used to derive the critical organ dose factors for iodines and particulates are listed on Tables A-2 and A-3. 08/02 74

Basis: [ An extensive network of on-site TLDs provides a near field direct measurement of radiation from adjacent [ fixed sources in the plant's original Protected Area. Historical TLD measurements were used to [ normalize a source-distance computer model using the MCNP4C computer code to predict exposures at a [ distance typically beyond the ability of direct measurement. The closest off-site land boundary of [ predicted maximum potential exposures is approximately 1000 feet along the WNW/NW opposite [ shoreline of Bailey Cove. The predicted relationship between on-site TLD measurements and the far [ shoreline are used to estimate the direct dose from primary plant structures and materials located in the [ original Protected Area. Federal regulations (40 CFR 190) state that a dose limit of 25 mrem/year to the [ total body or any organ from all uranium fuel cycle sources (including direct radiation) applies to real [ individuals in the areas impacted at or beyond the site boundary. This allows for consideration of [ occupancy time that members of the public may be subject to exposures. A time of 8760 hours/year [ (hypothetical full time occupancy) would provide an upper estimate of potential impact. Table A-1 L provides time for worm diggers while working on the mudflats during low tide. Other time estimates E' based on projections of actual land use may be used. 08/02 75

MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY ESTIMATED DOSE REPORT FOR 2002

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes the radiological dose commitments resulting from all radioactive liquid and gaseous effluent discharges during the 2002 calendar year. The off-site doses presented by calendar quarter in Table I were determined from primary effluent data sets, which have been summarized and reported to the NRC in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for 2002. Cumulative joint frequency distributions for wind speed, wind direction, and atmospheric stability for the 5-year period, January 1986 to December 1990, are provided in Tables A through H. Annual wind roses are also provided in Figures I and 2. For the purposes of demonstrating compliance with 40CFRI90, "Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Operations," radiation dose estimates must include direct radiation contributions from significant plant sources. Data from thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) in the area of the western security fence indicated a plant-related direct radiation component at Bailey Cove (nearest off-site area to the plant) during 2002. Since members of the public use the mud flats in the cove during periods of low tide, an assessment was performed to determine compliance with the 40CFRI90 dose limits. Table 2 lists the results from the combined impact of all plant sources to any member of the public in Bailey's Cove. Dose commitments from the discharge of radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents were estimated in accordance with the "Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual" (ODCM), and are reported herein as required by ODCM Appendix C.3 (Reference 1). These dose estimates were developed using a "Method II" analysis as described in the ODCM. The Method 11 analysis incorporates the methodology of Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2) and 5-year historical measured meteorological data. Table 3 lists important receptor locations as determined by the 2002 Annual Land Use Census. All calculated liquid and gaseous pathway doses for this reporting period are well below the dose criteria of I OCFR50, Appendix 1, and the dose limits for effluent releases stated in the Maine Yankee ODCM. In addition, the total dose to the most limiting member of the public due to the combined exposure to plant-related direct radiation and liquid and gaseous effluents was below the dose standards of40CFR190. 2.0 METEOROLOGICAL DATA With the permanent shutdown and decommissioning of Maine Yankee, the generation of gaseous fission and activation products and operation of the batch gas process system has ended. All gaseous effluent releases during the remaining parts of the decommissioning process are anticipated to be continuous and long-term in nature. Guidance provided in Section 3.3 of NUREG-0133 (Reference 6) recommends the use of historical annual average meteorological data for calculating doses under these conditions. Accordingly, the ODCM allows the use of historical annual average data in lieu of concurrent data. Historical meteorological data collected from the site's 200-foot meteorological tower (located approximately 1800 feet northeast of the Primary Vent Stack) wvas used in determining offsite doses for gaseous effluent releases during 2002. The tower instrumentation was designed to meet the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.23 (Reference 3) for meteorological monitoring. Cumulative joint frequency distributions for wind speed, direction, and stability class for the calendar years 1986 -1990 are provided -l-

in Tables A through H. Wind rose patterns for all stability classes during the report period are illustrated on Figures 1 and 2. The first release point for gaseous discharges from the plant is the 176-foot Primary Vent Stack (PVS), located between the Containment Building and the Primary Auxiliary Building. The PVS is treated as a mixed mode release point (part of the time as a ground level source, part of the time as elevated) dependent upon wind speed as described in Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Reference 4) since its height is not at least tvice that of nearby structures. A secondary release point for gaseous discharges from the plant is from the Fuel Building Vent (FBV) exhaust. This vent is located on the roof of the Primary Auxiliary Building adjacent to the Fuel Building. It is treated as a ground level release since it is located below the roof of the adjacent Fuel Building and exits horizontally. CHI/Q and D/Q atmospheric dispersion values were derived for all receptor points from the site meteorological record using a straight-line airflow model. In the dispersion calculations, lower level wind data collected from the site meteorological tower are used "as is" for the FBV and the ground level portion of PVS releases in keeping with the guidance provided in the NRC meteorological dispersion code "XOQDOQ", NUREG/CR-2919 (Reference 5). For the elevated portion of PVS releases, the lower level wind data are modified in accordance with NUREG/CR-2919 by a power law relationship that extrapolates wind speed from the height of the lower level measurements to the release height of the PVS. 3.0 DOSE ASSESSMENT 3.1 Doses from Liquid Effluents ODCM Section 2.1.4 limits total body and organ doses from liquid effluents to members of the public in unrestricted areas to those values specified in IOCFR Part 50, Appendix 1. The limit for total body dose is 1.5 mrem per calendar quarter, and 3 mrem per calendar year. The limit for organ doses is 5 mrem per calendar quarter and 10 mrem per calendar year. By implementing the requirements of IOCFR Part 50, Appendix 1, ODCM Section 2.1.4 assures that the release of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." Potential exposure pathways associated with liquid effluent from Maine Yankee are ingestion of fish/shellfish and direct exposure from shoreline sedimentation. The drinking water and irrigation pathways do not exist due to the saltwater nature of the receiving water estuary. The calculated doses from liquid effluent incorporate a mixing ratio (Mp) value equal to 0.02 for exposure due to ingestion of fish and shellfish, and an Mp value of 0.04 for shoreline exposures. Table 4 lists the usage factors by age group and pathway that were applied to liquid effluent. The whole body and organ doses resulting from liquid effluent discharges are the summations of dose contributions via all active exposure pathways for each release during the reporting period. Table I presents the maximum whole body and organ doses from liquid effluent to a member of the public. The estimated quarterly and annual doses resulting from liquid effluent discharges are well below the I OCFR50, Appendix I dose criteria. 3.2 Doses from Noble Gases ODCM Section 2.2.4 limits the gamma air dose and beta air dose from noble gases released in gaseous effluent from the site to areas at and beyond the site boundary to those values specified in IOCFR50, Appendix I. The limit for gamma air doses is 5 mrad per calendar quarter and 10 mrad per year. The limit for beta air doses is 10 mrad per calendar quarter and 20 mrad per year. By implementing the requirements of I OCFR50, Appendix 1, ODCM Section 2.2.4 assures that the releases of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." Gamma and beta air doses due to noble gases in gaseous effluent are calculated for several locations when noble gases are recorded in effluent. Those locations are the point of approximate highest off-site ground level air concentration of radioactive material, site boundary (or closest point on opposite shoreline in directions which border the river), nearest resident, nearest vegetable garden, and nearest milk animal within five miles for each of the sixteen principle compass directions. It is noted that due to the permanent shutdown of the plant (last power operations in December 1996) and decay of the noble gas inventory, no noble gas releases were recorded for 2002. 3.3 Doses From Tritium and Radionuclides in Particulate Form Section 2.2.5 of the ODCM implements limits on organ doses established in IOCFR50 Appendix 1, which assures that the releases of iodines, tritium and particulates in gaseous effluent will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." Organ doses to individuals located at or beyond the site boundary as a result of iodine-131, iodine-133, tritium and particulate-form radionuclides (with half-lives greater than 8 days) in gaseous effluent are limited to 7.5 mrem per quarter and 15 mrem per year doses. However, short-lived radionuclides such as Iodine-131 and Iodine-133 have decayed away since the permanent shutdown of the plant and no longer present any potential dose to the public. Potential exposure pathways associated with gaseous effluent are (i) external irradiation from radioactivity deposited on the ground surface, (ii) inhalation, and (iii) ingestion of vegetables, meat, and milk. Dose estimates were determined for site boundary locations (including opposite shoreline for boundaries next to water) and for the locations of the nearest resident, vegetable garden, and milk animal in each of the sixteen principle compass directions. The locations of the nearest resident, vegetable garden, and milk animal in each sector wvere identified by the 2002 Annual Land Use Census as required by ODCM Section 2.4.4 (see Table 3). Additionally, doses were calculated at the point of approximate maximum ground level air concentration of radioactive materials in gaseous effluent. Doses were calculated for pathways that were determined by the field survey to actually exist. Conservatism in the dose estimates was maintained by assuming that the vegetable garden pathway was active at each milk animal location and that the meat ingestion was an active exposure pathway at each milk cow location. Meat and milk animals were assumed to receive their entire intake from pasture during the second and third quarters. This is a conservative assumption because most dairy operations utilize supplemental feeding when animals are on pasture, or actually restrict animals to full time silage feeding throughout the entire year. Usage factors for gaseous effluent are listed by age group and pathway in Table 5. Table 6 provides dose model parameter assumptions used in the dose assessment. The organ doses were determined by summing the contributions from all exposure pathways at each location. Doses were calculated for the whole body, GI-tract, bone, liver, kidney, thyroid, lung, and skin for adults, teenagers, children, and infants. The estimated quarterly and annual organ doses due to iodines, tritium and particulates at the location of the maximally exposed individual are reported in Table

1. The estimated organ doses from iodines, tritium and particulates in gaseous effluents are well below the IOCFR50, Appendix I dose criteria.

3.4 Total Dose From Direct External Radiation, Plus Liquid and Gaseous Effluents The annual (calendar year) total dose or dose commitment to any member of the public due to releases of radioactivity and direct radiation from fixed sources are limited to EPA's radiation protection standards for the uranium fuel cycle (40CFRI90). The dose limits are set to less than or equal to 25 mrem per year to the total body or any organ, except the thyroid, which is limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem per year. Direct external dose from fixed sources of radioactive materials collected within the protected area fence and from within plant structures was estimated from Maine Yankee's 2002 TLD data. The data from TLDs posted in the area from the western security fence to the edge of Bailey Cove indicate above-background radiation in 2002. The annual direct dose from plant-related fixed radiation sources to members of the public on the mud flats (the closest off-site area to the plant), as derived from TLD measurements, was estimated to be 0.62 mrem. That estimated dose incorporated an occupancy time of 325 hours per year for worm diggers, as stated in the Maine Yankee ODCM. The receptor location used in the dose assessment was the center of the nearest portion of mud flats exposed at low tide, approximately 150 meters from the Primary Vent Stack. It is noted that most of the mud flat region in Bailey Cove that is used by the public is situated further away from this selected reference point. As a result, actual exposures from direct radiation would be less than the value applied in the estimate of direct dose (0.62 mrem) to the worm diggers as they move across the flats. The dose from liquid and gaseous effluents affecting Bailey Cove was added to the direct plant-related dose. Liquid and gaseous effluent doses were calculated as described above in determining compliance with as low as reasonably achievable dose objective of I 0CFR50, Appendix 1. Those doses were found to be only small fractions of the direct plant-related dose. In 2002, the total dose to a member of the public using the mud flats due to the combined exposure from direct plant-related radiation and discharges of liquid and gaseous effluent was 0.62 mrem (shown in Table 2). The annual total dose complies with the EPA's radiation protection standards in 40CFR190. Table 2 lists the dose contribution from each component (direct, liquid and gas) to the total body, maximum organ, and thyroid for the limiting member of the public on the mud flats.
