-Quality Related)INTRODUCTION The SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING Off-site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) is provided to support implementation of the Humboldt Bay Power Plant (HBPP) Unit 3 radiological effluent controls and radiological environmental monitoring.
The ODCM is divided into two parts, Part I -Specifications and Part II -Calculational Methods and Parameters.
Part I contains the specifications for liquid and gaseous radiological effluents (RETS) developed in accordance with NUREG-0473, Draft Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications
-BWR, by License Amendment Request (LAR) 96-02 and the radiological environmental monitoring program (REMP). Both the RETS and the REMP were relocated from the Technical Specifications by LAR 96-02 in accordance with the provisions of Generic Letter 89-01, Implementation of Programmatic Controls for Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications in the Administrative Controls Section of the Technical Specifications and the Relocation of Procedural Details of RETS to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual or to the Process Control Program, issued by the NRC in January, 1989.Implementation of the LAR revised the instantaneous liquid concentration limits based on "old" 10 CFR 20 maximum permissible concentrations (MPCs) to 10 times the "new" 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 effluent concentration limits (ECLs) and replaced the gaseous effluent instantaneous concentration limits at the site boundary with annual dose rate limits equating to the doses associated with the annual average concentrations of "old" 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 1. The LAR also established limits for doses to members of the public from radiological effluents based on the as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I as applicable to a nuclear power plant which has been shut down in excess of 20 years and is in Decommissioning.
These dose limits were established following the guidance of NUREG-0133, Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants, and NUREG-0473.
This guidance was modified, as appropriate, to reflect the decommissioning licensing basis contained in the HBPP SAFSTOR Decommissioning Plan, the Environmental Report submitted as Attachment 6 to the HBPP SAFSTOR licensing amendment request and NUREG-1 166, HBPP Final Environmental Statement.
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE ii The ODCM contains the requirements for the REMP. This program consists of monitoring stations and sampling programs based on the SAFSTOR Decommissioning Plan and the Environmental Report which established baseline conditions for soil, biota and sediments.
The REMP also includes requirements to participate in an interlaboratory comparison program.Part II of the ODCM contains the calculational methods developed, following the above guidance, to be used in determining the dose to members of the public resulting from routine radioactive effluents released from HBPP during the decommissioning period. Part II also contains the methodology used to determine effluent monitor alarm/trip setpoints which assure that releases of radioactive materials remain within specified concentrations.
The ODCM also contains the Process Control Program (PCP) for solid radioactive wastes, administrative controls regarding the content of the Annual Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Report, administrative controls regarding the content of the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, and administrative controls regarding major changes to radioactive waste treatment systems.The ODCM shall become effective after review by the Plant Staff Review Committee and approval by the Plant Manager. Changes to the ODCM shall be documented and records of reviews performed shall be retained.
This documentation shall contain sufficient information to support the change (including analyses or evaluations), and a determination that the change will maintain the required level of radioactive effluent control and not adversely impact the accuracy or reliability of effluent, dose, or setpoint calculations.
Changes shall be submitted to the NRC in the form of a complete and legible copy of the entire ODCM as part of, or concurrent with, the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period of the report in which any change to the ODCM was made. Each change shall be identified by markings in the margin of the affected pages, clearly indicating the area of the page that was changed.

Whenever the ventilation system is in operation.
ACTION: a. With a radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation channel alarm/trip setpoint less conservative than required above, suspend work that could result in the release of radioactive gaseous effluents monitored by the affected channel, or change the setpoint so that it is acceptably conservative, or declare the channel inoperable.
: b. With one or more radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation channels inoperable, take the ACTION shown in Table 2-3. For the instrumentation covered, exert best efforts to return the inoperable instrument(s) to OPERABLE status within 30 days. If the affected instrument(s) cannot be returned to OPERABLE status within 30 days, provide information on the reasons for inoperability and lack of timely corrective action in the next Radioactive Effluent Release Report.The Continuous Alpha Monitor may be secured to replace the filter paper cassette without declaring the Stack Particulate Airborne Monitoring System inoperable.
The Particulate Sampler may be secured to replace the filter without declaring the Stack Particulate Airborne Monitoring System inoperable.
Performing the Quarterly SPAM Calibration STP requires declaring the Stack Particulate Airborne Monitoring System INOPERABLE.
The NRC classifies effluent monitoring as either liquid or gaseous. With the removal of the spent fuel to the ISFSI, the remaining significant radioactive source at Humboldt Bay Power Plant is particulate carrying alpha contamination, potentially released to the environment through the"gaseous" air flow of the ventilation system, in unlikely events including the failure of the HEPA filters. There is no significant gaseous activity, per se. Thus PG&E's "gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation" is actually particulate alpha monitoring, and is commonly referred to as the Stack Particulate Alpha Monitor or Stack Particulate Alpha Monitoring System or SPAMS in most PG&E documentation.

Table Notation (Continued)
Where: LLD is the, lower limit of detection as defined above (as microcurie per unit mass. or volume), 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), E is the counting efficiency (as counts per disintegration), V is the sample size (in units of mass or volume), 2.22 x 106 is the number of disintegrations per minute per microcurie, Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable), X is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide, and At is the elapsed time between midpoint of sample collection and time of counting (for plant effluents, not environmental samples).Typical values of E, V, Y, and At shall be used in the calculation.
The LLD is defined as an a prori (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.
b 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.

The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with Part II of the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding 10 times the effluent concentration limits of 10 CFR Part 20 for releases to Humboldt Bay. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63 and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.3.2 Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation Basis The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases of gaseous effluents from the plant stack. The alarm setpoints for these instruments are calculated in accordance with Part II of the ODCM to ensure that the alarm will occur prior to exceeding a radioactive material concentration corresponding to gamma and beta dose rates above background to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY of less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.3.3 Liquid Effluent Concentration Basis This specification is provided to ensure that the instantaneous concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents beyond the SITE BOUNDARY will be less than 10 times the effluent concentration limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. The specification provides operational flexibility for releasing liquid effluents in concentrations to follow the Section II.A and II.C design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. This limitation provides reasonable assurance that the levels of radioactive materials released to Humboldt Bay will result in exposures within (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBIC and (2) the limits of 10 CFR 20.1302 to the population.
This specification does not affect the requirement to comply with the annual limitations of 10 CFR 20.1301 (a).
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 1-44 3.4 Liquid Effluent Dose Basis This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A. II-A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The Limiting Condition for Operation implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statement provides the required operating flexibility and at that same time implements the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable" (ALARA). The dose calculations in the OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) implement the requirements 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.
Compliance with this Specification has been established on a licensing basis by the SAFSTOR Environmental Report and NUREG- 1166, "Final Environmental Statement for Decommissioning Humboldt Bay Power Plant." These reports have demonstrated that routine releases of radioactive materials in effluents during decommissioning will not cause the Specification to be exceeded.
As long as routine releases do not exceed the baseline quantities evaluated in these reports, no further dose calculation is necessary.
3.5 Liquid Waste Treatment Basis The requirement that these systems be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA). This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and the design objective given in Section 1I.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 selected as one quarter of the dose design objectives (on a monthly basis) set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, for liquid effluents (3 mrem/yr; 10 mrem/yr to any organ).3.6 Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate Basis This specification provides 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 either within or outside the SITE BOUNDARY in excess of the design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The annual dose rate limits are the doses associated with the annual average concentrations of "old" 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 1. The specification provides operational flexibility for releasing gaseous effluents to satisfy the Section II.A and II.C design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50.
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 1-45 For a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the period of occupancy (which is bounded by the maximum occupational period while working in Units 1 or 2) will be sufficiently low to compensate for the reduced atmospheric dispersion of gaseous effluents relative to that for the SITE BOUNDARY.The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. This specification does not affect the requirement to comply with the annual limitations of 10 CFR 20.130 1(a).The only tritium source term is the spent fuel pool water, which evaporates and is released from the stack as moisture in the air. The spent fuel pool water has a Tritium concentration below 1x1l0 4 micro-Curies/ml, and air at 100 OF, saturated with moisture, can not hold more than 5xl 0-5 grams of moisture per cc. Therefore, it is unlikely that the Tritium concentration in the gaseous effluent could exceed 5x 10-9 micro-Curies/cc.
This is well below the 10CFR20 Effluent Concentration Limit of lx10.7 micro-Curies/cc, which corresponds to a dose of 50 mrem/year, so it is not necessary to monitor for Tritium in the plant stack effluent stream.3.7 Deleted Stack monitoring is not required for noble gases because the spent fuel (noble gas source term) has been transferred to the ISFSI.3.8 Gaseous Effluents:
Tritium and Radionuclides in Particulate Form Dose Basis This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A, and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The Limiting Conditions for Operation are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluent will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable" (ALARA). The calculational methods specified in the Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements 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.
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 1-46 Compliance with this Specification has been established on a licensing basis by the SAFSTOR Environmental Report and NUREG-1 166, "Final Environmental Statement for Decommissioning Humboldt Bay Power Plant." These reports have demonstrated that routine release of Tritium and radioactive materials in particulate form (with half-lives greater than 8 days) in gaseous effluents during decommissioning will not cause the Specification to be exceeded.
As long as routine releases do not exceed the baseline quantities evaluated in these reports, no further dose calculation is necessary.
Also, the ventilation system has since been modified to provide a full flow HEPA filtration system, significantly reducing routine particulate stack releases.The only tritium source term is the spent fuel pool water, which evaporates and is released from the stack as moisture in the air. The spent fuel pool water has a Tritium concentration below 1xl0 4 micro-Curies/ml, and an evaporation rate less than 50 gallons per day, so the routine Tritium release rate is below 7 milli-Curies/year.
Using this value, the equations in section 4.3.9 through 4.3.13 calculate a maximum annual dose of 1.08 x 10-5 milli-rem/year, so it is not necessary to calculate doses for Tritium in the plant stack effluent stream.3.9 Solid Radioactive Waste Basis This Specification ensures that radioactive wastes that are transported from the site shall meet the solidification requirements specified by the burial ground licensee of the respective states to which the radioactive material will be shipped. It also implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a and General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.3.10 Total Dose Basis This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190 that have now been incorporated into 10 CFR Part 20 by 46 FR 18525. The specification requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses from plant radioactive effluents exceed twice the design objective doses of Appendix I. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within the 40 CFR Part 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 8 km must be considered.
If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 190.11 and 10 CFR Part 20.2203a4, is considered to be a timely request and NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 1-47 fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed.
The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR Part 190 and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Specifications 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8. An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation that is part of the nuclear fuel cycle.3.11 REMP Monitoring Program Basis The quality-related portion of the REMP satisfies the requirements in 10 CFR Parts 20, 50, and 72.44(d) that radiological environmental monitoring programs be established to provide data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the site environs.
It is required to provide assurance that the baseline conditions established by the Environmental Report are not deteriorating and it supplements the SAFSTOR Environmental Report baseline environmental conditions by conducting onsite and offsite environmental monitoring to evaluate routine conditions during decommissioning and to document any increased nuclide concentrations and/or radiation levels resulting from accidents during decommissioning.
The non quality-related portion of the HBPP REMP fulfills commitments for environmental monitoring made to the state of California and conducts additional environmental monitoring which PG&E/HBPP has elected to continue from the REMP which was being implemented prior to approval of the SAFSTOR Decommissioning Plan.Normally, non quality-related environmental monitoring (including sample collection and analysis) is conducted in accordance with the programmatic controls established for the quality-related environmental monitoring; however, this monitoring is not subject to the program requirements for radiological environmental monitoring contained in the NRC Radiological Assessment Branch's Branch Technical Position which was issued as Generic Letter 79-65 nor is it subject to the HBPP Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program requirements including adherence to Regulatory Guide 4.15, Quality Assurance for Radiological Monitoring Programs (Normal Operations)--Effluent Streams and the Environment.
The SAFSTOR Environmental Report, submitted to the NRC as Attachment 6 to the SAFSTOR license amendment request, established baseline conditions for soil, biota and sediments.
The LLD's required by Table 2-9 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories.
The LLD's for drinking water meet the requirements of 40 CFR 141.

==SUMMARY==
a The LLD is defined as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with 95 percent probability with only 5 percent probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.LLD is defined as the a priori lower limit of detection (as pCi per unit mass or volume) representing the capability of a measurement system and not as the a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. (Current literature defines the LLD as the detection capability for the instrumentation only, and the MDA, minimum detectable concentration, as the detection capability for a given instrument, procedure and type of sample.) The actual MDA for these analyses was at or below the LLD.b The mean and the range are based on detectable measurements only. The fraction of detectable measurements at specified locations is indicated in parentheses; e.g., (10/12) means that 10 out of 12 samples contained detectable activity.
The range of detected results is indicated in brackets; e.g., [23-34].C Tritium samples taken 10/24/97 and 11/18/97 were analyzed to a lower than normal LLD of 200 pCi/I.Not Required -not required by the HBPP Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. Baseline environmental conditions for this parameter were established in the Environmental Report as referenced by the SAFSTOR Decommissioning Plan.N/A -Not applicable Note: The example data are based on the 1997 monitoring results and are provided for illustrative purposes only.

NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE II-1 PART II -CALCULATIONAL METHODS AND PARAMETERS 1.0 EFFLUENT MONITOR SETPOINT CALCULATIONS 1.1 LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITORS Specification 2.1 requires that the Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitor (RLEM) and the caisson sump monitor be set to alarm to ensure that the limits of Specification 2.3 are not exceeded (the instantaneous concentration of radioactive material released to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be less than or equal to 10 times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2). This requirement is defined by the following relationship.
C i Canal <1 (1-1)l10xECLi where: Ci-canal = The concentration of isotope " i " in the canal discharge point to Humboldt Bay.ECLi = Effluent Concentration Limit for radionuclide " i " from 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column, 2 ([tCi/ml)1.1.1 The above relationship can be further defined for the concentration in the discharge effluent by taking into account the dilution factor provided in the discharge canal.In the case where there is circulating water flow this dilution factor is typically determined by a ratio of the circulating water flow to the discharge flow rate. In the case where no circulating water flow is present, there is dilution provided by the daily tidal exchange in the canal with Humboldt Bay. This tidal dilution has been estimated by using a two-dimensional numerical analysis, depth-averaged, finite element hydrodynamic model (See reference 12.1)Canal ,C (1-2)DFcaaI NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-2 where: Ci = The concentration of radionuclide " i " in the effluent discharge.
DFcanal = Dilution factor provided in the Discharge Canal from tidal flow (taken as 100 for a batch release if the release commences approximately with low tide, there is an interval of at least four days between batch releases, and the release completes within the low tide cycle. Use a dilution factor of 25 for batches which do not begin near low tide or which do not end before the next high tide. Use a dilution factor of 1 for continuous discharge applications, or "batches" that exceed 12 hours).1.1.2 The alarm setpoint (countrate) for each monitor is calculated from the relationships to canal concentration described in equations 1-1 and 1-2 above. : AR _ [(DFcaai)X (10) x (ECLc)x (KMix)x (0.85)]+ B where: AR = The alarm setpoint, counts per minute, of the RLEM.(1-3)KMix = Calibration factor for the monitor, for the mixture, with units of cpm per micro-Ci/ml, further defined below.0.85 = Conservatism factor (85 percent of the Specification 2.3 concentration limits to allow for 15% monitor calibration uncertainty).
B = The monitor background reading (prior to any discharge) in counts per minute.ECLc = Composite Effluent Concentration Limit (ECL) for the mix of radionuclides (micro-Ci/ml) defined in detail below.10 = Factor of 10 allowed above 10 CFR 20 Appendix B values for operational flexibility.
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-3 1.1.3 The composite ECL for the mix of radionuclides is calculated as follows: jCj Yfi ECLc = ___ -I _ I (1-4)Cif ECLi i ECLi where: ECLi = ECL for radionuclide "i" from 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 (micro-Ci/ml).
CQ = Concentration of radionuclide "i" in the mixture.fi = Fraction of radionuclide "i" in the mixture.1.1.4 The composite detector response for the mix of radionuclides is calculated as follows: Y (C,)(Ki)KM,x = -(K,)(fY)
-' (1-5)* i  i Ki for other nuclides is defined relative to Kcs-137 by the considering the summation of the other nuclides relative gamma detection efficiency, as follows: Z (Rj.g)(Y.
g )Ki = (Kcs_137) gamma (R Cs-I 37,662 keV )(Y 6 6 2 keV J where: K i  Calibration factor for the monitor, for the nuclide "i", with units of cpm per micro-Ci/ml.
Kcs-1 3 7  Cs-137 calibration factor for the monitor, with units of cpm per micro-Ci/ml.
Baseline calibration of the RLEM (on 02/13/07) found this factor to be within +/-15% of 2.94 x 108 cpm per pCi/ml for Cs-137.

Similarly, KK-40 is about 0.1, and Ki for non-gamma nuclides is equal to zero.1.1.5 Table 2-2 of Specification 2.1 requires that if a background reading exceeds the equivalent of 5 x 10-6 micro-Ci/ml of Cs- 137, the cause will be investigated and remedial measures taken to reduce the background reading. Therefore, the maximum background allowable (Bmax, cpm) is: Bmax = K x (5 x 106)cpm (1-3)
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-5 1.1.6 The most conservative background limit is calculated as if the calibration factor was 2.50 x 108 cpm per micro-Ci/ml
(-15% tolerance).
This background limit would be 1,250 cpm. It is plant policy to use a background limit (slightly lower) at 1,200 cpm to ensure that this limit is satisfied.
Note that if the background setting exceeds 1,200 cpm, the monitor should be declared INOPERABLE until the background has been reduced.1.1.7 For continuous direct caisson sump discharges, the monitor should be set to alarm at or below 7.5 times the Cs-137 ECL from 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, column 2 (75 percent of the Specification 2.3 limit for Cs-137), assuming no canal tidal dilution factor and no other liquid radwaste discharge is in progress.1.1.8 Since the value of DFcanal in Equation 1-3 varies between batch and continuous modes of release, multiple concurrent discharges are not permitted.
1.1.9 If the Specification 2.3 alarm setting is calculated (per equation 1-3 above) for Cs-137 ECLc, -15% tolerance, no dilution, no factor of 10 for operational flexibility and for zero background the net alarm setting would be 2,500 cpm. Because the actual mixture may have a limit that is lower than that of Cs-137, and may also provide a reduced detector response, it is plant policy to maintain the alarm setting at an administrative alarm setting. Refer to section 1.1.10 for the administrative (lower) alarm settings.1.1.10 For routine liquid radwaste batch discharges, it is plant policy to set the Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitor (RLEM) alarm no higher than necessary in order to provide protection against inadvertent releases.
The alarm should be set to the highest likely net reading, but no greater than that determined by equation 1-3 above. The highest likely net reading is based approximately on the sum of twice the typical background 2 and 130% of the predicted countrate for the batch 3.2 This is based on a nominal background of 500 cpm. As of 1/08/10, the background reading is about 473 cpm.3 The 30% tolerance is for a combination of analytical and RLEM uncertainties and expected monitor fluctuations..
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-6 1.2 GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITOR 1.2.1 Equation C-4 of Regulatory Guide 1.109 demonstrates how to calculate dose from inhalation:

/ (1.77 mrem/pCi)

The annual average airborne concentration of radionuclide i at the location (r, 0)with respect to the release point may be determined as xi(r,0) = 3.17 x 10 4 Qi(X/Q)D(rO) where xi(r,0) is the annual average ground-level concentration of nuclide i in air in sector 0 at distance r, in pCi/mr 3 3.17 x 104 is the number ofpCi/Ci divided by the number of sec/yr (X/Q)D(r,0) is the annual average atmosphere dispersion factor, in sec/m 3.Qi is the release rate of nuclide I to the atmosphere, in Ci/yr A value of 7.3E-6 sec/mr 3 was used for the annual average atmosphere dispersion factor at the site boundary (X/Q)D(r,0).
This is based on a release rate of 30,000 cfm.This value is obtained from Calculation N-238C, Rev. 0, "Determining Effect of HBPP Unit 3 Stack Reconfiguration on Downwind Effluent Concentrations".
To determine the release rate that will result in an average ground-level concentration the above equation must be rearranged to: Qi = xi(r,0) / (3.17 x 10 4 (X/Q)D(r,0))
Therefore the release rate of Am-241 required to equal the annual average ground-level concentration at the site boundary calculated above is:

These depositional losses have been calculated to determine a conservative correction factor.Based on this calculation the transmission fraction at 30,000 scfm is 80.4%. The inverse of the transmission fraction, 1.24, defines a correction coefficient which can be applied to the release rate and public dose rate calculations of the stack monitor.1.2.4 Stack Concentration The stack concentration that would result in a release rate of 4.61 E-1 Ci/yr is equal to: Total release (Curies/year)

A factor of 12 is used (instead of the exact ratio of 365.25/31), for simplicity.
2.2 CALENDAR QUARTER The methodology for calendar quarter calculations is the same as for the calendar year calculations provided by section 2.4, except that the resulting value for D (dose commitment annual rate, mrem/year) must be divided by 4 to convert it to a quarterly dose commitment, mrem/quarter.
2.3 CALENDAR YEAR The methodology for calendar year calculations is provided by section 2.4.2.4 LIQUID EFFLUENT DOSE CALCULATION METHODOLOGY The equations specified in this section for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.113, "Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidental and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purpose of Implementing Appendix I," April 1977.Equation (2) of Regulatory Guide 1.109 provides for the use of a site specific mixing ratio (i.e. reciprocal of the dilution factor) that describes the near term and near field mixing of the tidal flow from the Discharge Canal into Humboldt Bay. A two-dimensional numerical analysis, depth-averaged, finite element hydrodynamic model (reference 12.1) was developed by CH2MHILL and used to estimate the dispersion of the canal discharge in the Bay. The analysis indicated that an additional dilution factor of 80 for batch release applications can conservatively be used to describe the Bay dilution.V NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-13 The dose contribution to the total body and each individual organ (bone, liver, kidney, lung and GI-LLI) of the maximum and average exposed individual (adult, teen, child, and infant) will be calculated for the nuclides detected in effluents.
The dose to an organ of an individual from the release of a mixture of radionuclides will be calculated as follows: n D= E [Ci -Bay diluted X DF x {(BFish, i X UFish) + (Blnv, i X Ulnv))<(2-1)where: D= The dose commitment, mrem per year, to an organ (or to the whole body)due to consumption of aquatic foods.Ci-Bay diluted = The average diluted effluent concentration, pico-Curie/liter, for radionuclide, i. This will be estimated by dividing the total activity of the nuclide discharged during the period, pico-Curies, by the total tidal flow during the period in liters, and by the Bay dilution factor of 80 for batch discharge (Bay dilution factor of 1 for continuous discharge).
If Gross Alpha radioactivity is determined to be in the discharge, Pu-241 will be considered to be present at 3.25 times the amount of detected Gross Alpha radioactivity.
Note that the resulting dose commitment is the annual dose rate (mrem per year) for a time frame with this average concentration.
Doses (NOT dose rates) for periods shorter than a year must be proportionately reduced.DF = The dose conversion factor, mrem/pico-Curie for the nuclide, organ, and age group being calculated.
This factor is taken from Tables 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3.BFish, i The bioaccumulation factor, pico-Curie/kilogram per pico-Curie/liter, in fish for the radionuclide in question.
This value is taken from Table 2-4.Binv, i The bioaccumulation factor, pico-Curie/kilogram per pico-Curie/liter, in invertebrates for the radionuclide in question.
This value is taken from Table 2-4.UFish Usage factor (consumption) of fish, kilogram/year, for the age group and individual (average or maximum) in question.
This factor is derived from Table 2-5 or 2-6.
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-14 UInv Usage factor of invertebrates, kilogram/year, for the applicable age group and individual (average or maximum).
This factor is from Table 2-5 or 2-6.The total exposure to an organ (or whole body) is found from the summation of the contributions of each of the individual nuclides calculated.
Note that the infant age group is not considered to consume either fish or other seafood, and exposure to this age group need therefore not be calculated.
Dose calculations after the transition from circulating water flow to tidal dilution flow can be performed using the new methodology for the current month, quarter, or year. This new methodology does not change the dose results significantly from the previous methodology, and therefore will not adversely affect the previous comparison with regulatory limits.

The permit also identifies Discharge Serial No. 001E (liquid low level radioactive waste) that indicates that the waste may be treated prior to discharge.
The permit does not mandate treatment.
3.2 TREATMENT CAPABILITIES 3.2.1 Liquid Waste Collection System Liquid waste is collected in either the turbine building drain tank (TBDT), reactor equipment drain tank (REDT), reactor caisson sump or radwaste building sump.a. Turbine Building Drain Tank The TBDT, turbine building floor drain pump and TBDT pumps are located at elevation
-14 feet in the reactor caisson in a shielded vault beneath the new fuel storage vault. The contents of the 3,000 gallon capacity tank may be pumped to a radwaste receiver tank or drained to the REDT via the caisson floor drain system.b. Reactor Equipment Drain Tank The REDT and associated REDT pumps are located at the -66 foot level of the reactor caisson access shaft. The contents of this 500 gallon capacity tank are pumped automatically to the radwaste treatment system using either of the two REDT pumps.
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-19 c. Reactor Caisson Sump The reactor caisson sump and its associated reactor caisson sump pumps isare located at the -66 foot level of the access shaft. The sump, which collects groundwater in-leakage, has a capacity of 50 gallons. The pumps may transfer its their-contents automatically through a liquid effluent monitor to the Discharge Canal, or may be valved to the radwaste treatment system if necessary for compliance with Specification 2.5 due to groundwater contamination.
: d. Radwaste Building Sump The radwaste building sump tank, with a capacity of 250 gallons, is located beneath the radwaste building floor and receives liquids from drains in the vicinity of the radwaste building.
The sump pump is located on the operating floor of the radwaste building (elevation
+12 feet) over the sump tank. This pump automatically maintains the level of the tank and discharges to one of the waste receiver tanks.3.2.2 Liquid Waste Treatment System The liquid waste treatment system processes, stores and provides for disposal of radioactively contaminated wastes and other liquid wastes that are potentially radioactively contaminated.
These wastes are first collected by the radwaste collection system and are then pumped to the radwaste building on the north side of the refueling building.
The major components of the liquid waste treatment system which are available for use to comply with Specification 2.5 include the: " waste receiver tanks (3)" radwaste demineralizer" resin disposal tank" concentrated waste tanks (2)" waste hold tanks (2)" radwaste filters (2)a. Waste Receiver and Waste Hold Tanks The three 7,500 gallon carbon steel radwaste receiver tanks are for wastes coming from the radwaste collection system. Two 7,500 carbon steel waste hold tanks are for storing treated wastes for retreatment or disposal.
The tanks are located in an external section of the radwaste building, but are within the prefabricated steel radwaste enclosure.
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-20 b. Radwaste Demineralizer The radwaste demineralizer is a single, mixed bed unit with a nominal flow of 20 gpm and a flow capacity of 50 gpm. The demineralizer tank is 24 inches in diameter and was designed for 75 psig in accordance with the ASME Code.There are no provisions for regeneration; spent resins are sluiced to the resin disposal tank. The demineralizer is located in a shielded cubicle in the radwaste building.Demineralization is generally not an appropriate method to treat high TDS liquids, but selective ion-exchange media may be used to reduce the concentration of specific radioactive ions in high DTS liquids.c. Resin Disposal Tank This 10,000 gallon tank is located in an individual shielded vault within the radwaste building.
It is accessed through a hatch in the top of the vault. All spent resins from the various demineralizers on site are routed to this tank.d. Concentrated Waste Tanks Two 5,000 gallon storage tanks are located in a shielded vault in the radwaste building.
These tanks received concentrated wastes from the concentrator, which is no longer in service. These tanks have no inherent means for draining and must be pumped down through access ports in the top of the tank.e. Radwaste Filters Two radwaste filters are available in the radwaste building.
These are cartridge-type filters which can remove particles down to 25 microns in diameter.3.2.3 Mobile Liquid Waste Treatment Systems Various mobile liquid waste treatment systems are available from vendors for use if necessary.
These include systems such as high pressure filtration, demineralization, reverse osmosis and solidification.
Mobile liquid waste treatment systems are available for treatment of both high and low TDS liquids.

As explained in Specification Bases 3.6, Tritium is not required to be monitored, and the corresponding dose rate need not be calculated.
Nevertheless, if such a calculation is required, refer to sections 4.3.9 through 4.3.13 for the appropriate equations.
4.2 Deleted 4.3 DOSE -TRITIUM AND RADIONUCLIDES IN PARTICULATE FORM 4.3.1 Calendar Quarter The methodology for calendar quarter calculations is the same as for the calendar year calculations provided by section 4.3.3, and discussed in section 4.3.2, with the exception that the resulting values for D (annual dose commitment, mrem/year) must be divided by 4 to convert them to quarterly dose commitment, mrem/quarter.
4.3.2 Calendar Year The methods for calculating the dose due to release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-22 Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977.The equations provided for determining the doses at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions.
4.3.3 Particulate Organ Dose Calculation Summation Methodology The release rate specifications for radioactive particulates with half-life greater than eight days are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY.
The pathways which were examined in the development of these calculations were: 1) Individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leaf 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 of man.The releases of radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days in gaseous effluents will be essentially limited to Cs-137, Co-60, and Sr-90.Radioactive decay may result in the dose from Transuranic radionuclides becoming significant.
If Gross Alpha radioactivity is determined to be released, Pu-241 will be considered to be present at 3.25 times the amount of detected Gross Alpha radioactivity.
The annual dose commitment will be calculated for any organ of an individual age group as follows: n D [Qi x (Rinh, i + RGP, i+ RMeati + RMrilk, i+ Rvegi)] (4-3)i=1 where: D = Annual dose commitment, mrem/year.
Qi = The average release rate of the nuclide in question, pico-Curies/second.
RInh, i = The dose factor for the inhalation pathway for the radionuclide, i, in units of mrem/year per pico-Curie/sec.
RGP, i = The dose factor for the ground plane (direct exposure from deposition) pathway for the radionuclide, i, in units of mrem/year per pico-Curie/sec.
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-23 RMeat, i = The dose factor for the grass-cow-meat pathway for the radionuclide, i, in units of mrem/year per pico-Curie/sec.
RMilk, i = The dose factor for the grass-cow-milk pathway for the radionuclide, i, in units of mrem/year per pico-Curie/sec.
Rveg, i = The dose factor for the pathway of deposition on vegetation for the radionuclide, i, in units of mrem/year per pico-Curie/sec.
In general, the calculations for these pathways give results that represent trivial radiation exposure.
The values calculated for typical anticipated Decommissioning releases range from about 0.002 mrem/year (fruit/vegetable consumption pathway)to less than 1 x 10-6 mrem/year (for direct radiation exposure from material deposited on the ground).4.3.4 Particulate Inhalation Pathway Dose Calculation Methodology Rlnh, (;r/Q) x BRa x DFi,a (4-3a)where: X/Q = The atmospheric dispersion parameter, seconds/cubic meter.= 1.0 x 105 seconds/cubic meter for releases from the 50 foot stack.Refer to Appendix B.6.59 x 10-3 seconds per cubic meter for releases other than from the 50 foot stack.

Also, the quantities assumed consumed include grain (none is grown in the vicinity of the plant), as well as vegetables and fruit grown in other areas (imported to Humboldt county).
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 TITLE SAFSTOR/DECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE REVISION 18 DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL PAGE 11-28 4.3.9 Tritium Organ Dose Calculation Methodology The annual dose commitment may be calculated for any organ of an individual age group as follows: D = QH3 X (Rlnh, H3 + RGP, H3 + RMeat, H3 + RMilk, H3 + Rveg.H3) (4-4)where: D = Annual dose commitment, mrem/year.

With this assumption, the calculated maximum offsite exposure is 0.0013 mrem/year.

The whole body dose is determined by summing the calculated doses from the following:
: a. Deleted b. Stack Particulate releases, using equation (4-3).c. Stack Tritium releases, using equation (4-4).d. Liquid releases, using equation (2-1).To this calculated exposure is added potential direct radiation exposure to an individual at the site boundary.
The only portion of the site boundary where there is significant direct radiation is near the radwaste facilities at the [PG&E] North edge of the site. Due to the possibility that an individual at the shoreline (fishing, bird watching, etc.) may use the path at the brow of the cliff for access, the TLD stations along the path are used to estimate an annual radiation exposure.
The time period used for this estimate is 67 hours/year, given by Table E-5 of Regulatory Guide 1.1.09, as the maximum time for shoreline recreation for the Teen age group.5.2 SKIN DOSE Specification 2.10 limits the dose to any organ (thyroid excepted) to less than or equal to 25 mrem/year.
The dose to the skin is determined by summing the calculated doses from the following:
: a. Deleted b. Stack Tritium releases, using equation (4-4). (For H-3, the exposure to all organs is essentially equal, so the whole body value may be used for skin.)c. Liquid Tritium releases, using equation (2-1). (Use whole body value, as above, for H-3).d. The potential direct radiation exposure to an individual at the site boundary base on TLD stations, as determined in Section 5.1 above.

The dose to any individual other than skin organ is determined by summing the calculated doses from the following:
: a. Deleted'b. Stack Tritium releases, using equation (4-4).c. Liquid Tritium releases, using equation (2-1).d. The potential direct radiation exposure to an individual at the site boundary base on TLD stations, as determined in Section 5.1 above.5.4 DOSE TO THE THYROID Specification 2.10 limits the dose to the thyroid to less than or equal to 75 mrem/year.
Since Unit 3 has not operated since July 2, 1976, there is an insufficient radioactive iodine source term remaining onsite to approach this limit. Therefore, calculation of dose to the thyroid is not required.

The calculation report is number N238C, Revision 0, titled "Determine Effect of Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 Stack Reconfiguration on Downwind Effluent Concentrations".
This calculation is microfilmed (with calculations N238A & N238B), at microfilm reel/frame location (RLOC) 07175-4939 thru 5359. Table 1 (frame number 5140) of the calculation (N238C) provides "1 hour" values for the instantaneous X/Q for the 50' stack for various stack flow rates, based on an EPA model named "ISCST". The instantaneous X/Q value used in the ODCM (6.52 x 1 0 4) is based on a stack flow of 25,000 cfm.1.2 The annual average atmospheric dispersion factor (X/Q) is taken from meteorological parameter calculations performed to evaluate reducing the height of the Unit 3 stack. The calculation report is number N238C, Revision 0, titled "Determine Effect of Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 Stack Reconfiguration on Downwind Effluent Concentrations".
This calculation is microfilmed (with calculations N238A & N238B), at microfilm reel/frame location (RLOC) 07175-4939 thru 5359. Table 1 (frame number 5140) of the calculation (N238C) provides annual maximum values for X/Q for the 50' stack for various stack flow rates, based on an NRC model named "XOQDOQ".
The annual average X/Q value used in the ODCM (1.00 x 105) is based on a stack flow of 25,000 cfm.1.3 The annual average atmospheric deposition factor (D/Q) is taken from meteorological parameter calculations performed to evaluate reducing the height of the Unit 3 stack. The calculation report is number N238C, Revision 0, titled "Determine Effect of Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 Stack Reconfiguration on Downwind Effluent Concentrations".
This calculation is microfilmed (with calculations N238A & N238B), at microfilm reel/frame location (RLOC) 07175-4939 thru 5359. Table 1 (frame number 5140) of the calculation (N238C) provides annual maximum values for D/Q for the 50' stack for various stack flow rates, based on an NRC model named "XOQDOQ".
The annual average D/Q value used in the ODCM (3.00 x 10.8) is based on a stack flow of 25,000 cfm.2.0 BASIS FOR DISPERSION/DEPOSITION VALUES -INCIDENTAL RELEASE PATHS 2.1' The atmospheric dispersion factor (X/Q) for incidental releases is 6.59 x 10-3 seconds/cubic meter, calculated as described below 2.1.1 This factor is based on the atmospheric models of Regulatory Guide 1.145, Atmospheric Dispersion Models for Potential Accident Consequence Assessments at Nuclear Power Plants. These models are intended to estimate meteorological dispersion for "real time" conditions (i.e., hourly), rather than "annual average" conditions.
The applicable guidance is section 1.3.1 (Releases Through Vents or Other Building Penetrations), as it applies to all releases from points lower than 2.5 times the height of adjacent structures.
This calculation generally follows the guidance for the use of equations 1, 2 and 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.145.
ODCM APPENDIX B Revision 18 Page B-3 2.1.2 The assumed distance from the emission point to the potential receptor for this calculation is 150 meters. This is the approximate distance to publicly accessible areas from the structure with the most significant potential for airborne radioactivity (i.e. from the center of the Refueling Building to the trail at the edge of the bluff).2.1.3 The meteorological conditions assumed for this calculation are for stable"fumigation" conditions (Pasquill stability class G), with a wind speed of 1 meters/second.
2.1.4 The applicable equations from Reg. Guide 1.145 are as follows: 1 X/Q = (1)U10o7(Yrra;&#xfd;
+A/ 2)X/Q = (2)1 X/Q (3)U1IOTC: ly (7z where: U 1 0  = wind speed at 10 meters above grade, equal to 1 meter/second.(y = lateral plume spread, equal to 4.33 meters for Pasquill Class G at a distance of 150 meters.=z vertical plume spread, equal to 1.86 meters for Pasquill Class G at a distance of 150 meters.A vertical cross-sectional area of structures, equal to 375 meters 2 , based on the Refueling Building dimensions (about 36 feet high, about 112 feet long).Fy lateral plume spread (including meander and building wake), meters, equal to 6ayy (for distances less than 800 meters, wind speeds below 2 meters/second, and stability class G).2.1.5 With these values, the results for equations 1, 2, and 3 are as follows: X/Q = 4.70 x 10-3 seconds/meter 3 (1)
ODCM APPENDIX B Revision 18 Page B-4 X/Q = 1.32 x 10-2 seconds/meter 3  (2)X/Q = 6.59 x 10-3 seconds/meter 3  (3)Per the Reg. Guide, the higher value of equations 1 and 2 is to be compared with the value for equation 3, and the lower value of that comparison should be used.with this logic, the resulting value for X/Q is 6.59 x 10-3 seconds/meter3.
2.2 The atmospheric deposition factor (D/Q) for incidental releases is 5.39 x 10-6 meter-2 for the Particulate Ground Plane Pathway, and is 3.29 x 10-6 meter-2 for all other deposition related pathways.
The factors are calculated as described below 2.2.1 These factors are based on the atmospheric models of Regulatory Guide 1.111, Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-water-cooled Reactors.
The applicable guidance is section C.3.b (Dry Deposition), and Figure 6 (Relative Deposition for Ground-level Releases).
To determine the atmospheric deposition across a downwind sector, the value from Figure 6 is to be multiplied by the fraction of the release transported into the sector, and divided by the sector cross-wind arc length at the distance being considered.
For this calculation, the deposited contamination will be assumed to be evenly distributed across the width of the plume, rather than across an arbitrary angular sector.2.2.2 Two factors are necessary because the nearest location (along the bay) is not a credible location for farming. For the purposes of estimating offsite doses from incidental releases, the nearest "farm" will be assumed to be beyond the railroad tracks, Southeast of the plant.2.2.3 For the Particulate Ground Plane Pathway, the assumed distance from the emission point to the potential receptor for this calculation is 150 meters. This is the approximate distance to publicly accessible areas from the structure with the most significant potential for airborne radioactivity (i.e. from the center of the Refueling Building to the trail at the edge of the bluff). At this distance, Figure 6 provides a Relative Deposition Rate value of 1.4 x 10-4 meter-'. The plume width assumed for this calculation is the same as was used in equation 3 of section 2.1.4 (above), so that the plume width is approximately 6cay. For ay equal to 4.33 meters (Pasquill Class G at a distance of 150 meters), D/Q is (1.4 x 1 0-4 meter-)/(6 x 4.33 meter) = 5.39 x 10-6 meter-2.2.2.4 For the pathways involving farming or ranching, the assumed distance from the emission point to the potential receptor for this calculation is 220 meters. This is the approximate distance to publicly accessible "grazing" areas from the structure with the most significant potential for airborne radioactivity (i.e. from the center of the Refueling Building to the other side of the railroad).
At this distance, ODCM APPENDIX B Revision 18 Page B-5 Figure 6 provides a Relative Deposition Rate value of 1.2 x 1 0-4 meter-l. The plume width assumed for this calculation is the same as was used in equation 3 of section 2.1.4 (above), with the plume width of approximately 6c"y., but at a greater distance.
For cyy equal to 6.07 meters (Pasquill Class G at a distance of 220 meters), D/Q is (1.2 x 10-4 meter')/ (6 x 6.07 meter) = 3.29 x 106 meter-2.
