NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM TITLE SAFSTORIDECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL VOLUME 4 REVISION 27 PAGE 1-28 3.0 SPECIFICATION BASES 3.1 Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation Basis Deleted -The plant stack ceased operation in 2015. Monitoring gaseous effluent is limited to sampling and analysis of Modular HEPA Units. 3.2 Liquid Effluent Concentration Basis Deleted-Liquid effluents are no longer discharged to Humboldt Bay. Effective December 31, 2013, discharge of processed radioactive liquid effluents to Humboldt Bay was terminated.
Any remaining or incidental radioactive liquid in concentrations exceeding 1 0 times 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2 Column 2 are manifested for disposal at a licensed disposal site. Sampling and manifesting requirements are consistent with the requirements of the receiving facility not subject to ODCM methodology.
3.3 Liquid Effluent Dose Basis Deleted -Liquid effluents are no longer discharged to Humboldt Bay. 3.4 Liquid Effluent Treatment Basis Deleted -Liquid effluents are no longer discharged to Humboldt Bay. 3.5 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. 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 20.130l(a).
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT TITLE SAFSTORIDECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 REVISION 27 PAGE 1-29 Stack operation and monitoring ceased operation in 2015, so the reporting period for 2015 includes the dose contribution from the plant stack prior to ceasing operation.
Modular HEPA Ventilation Units continue to be sampled as a gaseous effluent pathway.
Noble gas monitoring is not required because the spent fuel (noble gas source term) has been transferred to the ISFSI. Tritium monitoring is not required in gaseous effluents because the tritium source term was the spent fuel pool water which is now empty. Residual water in various plant drains and sumps contain low levels of tritium (generally at or below the drinking water standard (2E-5 uCi/ml or 20,000 pCi/L) and does not require monitoring as a gaseous plant effluent.
3.6 Deleted Gaseous effluent monitoring is not required for noble gases because the spent fuel (noble gas source term) has been transferred to the ISFSI. 3.7 Deleted 3.8 Gaseous Effluents:
Tritium and Radionuclides in Particulate Form Dose Basis This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C, liLA, 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 liLA 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 basis for the dose calculation threshold of 0.1 uCi alpha e1nission or Sr-90 in a week assumes a continuous ground level release of 1.65E-13 uCi/sec and an X/Q of 6.59E-3 sec/m3. The limiting inhalation dose is to a teen age member of the public at the site boundary at approximately 0.3 mrem/wk (15 mrem/yr) to the bone from alpha emitters.
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 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.
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM TITLE SAFSTORIDECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL VOLUME 4 REVISION 27 PAGE I-30 The previously evaluated tritium source term was the spent fuel pool water, which is now empty. Residual water in various plant drains and sumps contain low levels of tritium (at or below the drinking water standard (2E-5 uCi/ml or 20,000 pCi/L) and does not require monitoring as a gaseous plant effluent.
3.9 Solid Radioactive Waste Basis This Specification ensures that radioactive wastes that are transported from the site shall meet the disposal site(s) licensee and/or waste acceptance criteria for free standing liquids 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. 3.10Total 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 Repmi 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 estiinated 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 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 pmi 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 and 50 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 Repmi are not deteriorating and it supplements the SAFSTOR Environmental Report baseline NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT TITLE SAFSTORIDECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL SECTION ODCM VOLUME 4 REVISION 27 PAGE 1-31 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 LLD's required by Table 2-9 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories.
HBPP no longer includes water, milk, fish, food products, or sediment in its routine REMP sampling program.
Sampling and analysis in support of the License Tennination Plan is independent of the ODCM requirements.
3.12 REMP Interlaboratory Comparison Program Basis The requirement for participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are reasonably valid. 3 .13 Radioactive Waste Inventory Basis ) The requirements for limits on the accumulation of liquid radioactive waste in outdoor tanks were transferred from the license Technical Specifications.

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT ANNUAL SUMMARY 27 1-34 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 EL 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].

This requirement is defined by the following relationship.
L ci,Canal ::::; 1 i lOx ECLi where: (1-1) 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 1.1.1 If the outfall location is not at the furthermost pmiion of the canal from the entrance to the Bay the concentration of the isotope Ci-Canal is equal to the concentration being discharged at the outfall.

The annual average airborne concentration of radionuclide i at the location (r, B) with respect to the release point may be determined as where Xi(r,8) 3.17 X 104 is the annual average ground-level concentration of nuclide i in air in sector 8 at distance r, in pCilm3 is the number of pCi/Ci divided by the number of sec/yr is the annual average atmosphere dispersion factor, in sec!n/ is the release rate of nuclide I to the atmosphere, in Ci/yr A value of 6.59E-3 seclm3 was used for the incidental release path atmosphere dispersion factor at the site boundary (x/Q)D(r,8) for releases from Modular HEPA Units. This is based on a release rate of 2000 cfm. (Ref: Safstor ODCM, Appendix B, 2.0) This factor is based on the atlnospheric models of Regulatory Guide 1.145, Atmospheric Dispersion Models for Potential Accident Consequence Assessments at Nuclear Power Plants. To determine the release rate that will result in an average ground-level concentration the above equation must be rearranged to: Qi = Xi(r,8) I (3.17 x 10\x/Q)D(r,B))
Therefore the Modular HEPA Unit release rate of Am-241 required to equal the incidental ground-level concentration at the site boundary calculated above is:

Assuming that an unplanned release occurs at two hundred times the ODCM release rate for fifteen minutes the offsite dose corresponding to an Alert would be 2.675E-3 rem (2.7 mretn) which is much less than the EPA PAG. Note that Am-241 is used in the example calculations and is expected to be limiting.
Other alpha emitting isotopes such as Pu-238, Pu-239/240 and Cm-243/244 are evident in the contamination at HBPP. Since the Effluent Concentration Limits (ECLs ), Derived Air Concentration (DAC) values and organ Dose Conversion Factors (DCFs) are similar, the Am-241 values may be assumed to be gross alpha with appropriate compensation for naturally occurring isotopes.
Other radionuclides (Co-60, Sr-90, Cs-137, etc.) are impmiant in determining actual offsite dose and in demonstrating compliance with the ECL using the sum of the fractions rule. The example calculations are used similarly for each isotope in the mix with their respective ECL, DCF and exposure pathway (inhalation, ingestion, and submersion).

Airborne radioactivity control measures to control worker dose, also limits the potential offsite dose.

Any remaining processed liquid radioactive waste is transported offsite for land disposal at an authorized disposal facility.
The following calculation methodology is preserved as a part of the ODCM for ease of reference to site specific parameters in the event of an accidental release of liquid radioactive effluent.
No recurring liquid effluent dose calculations are expected for the remainder of decommissioning.
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 or a dilution factor of 20 for continuous release applications can conservatively be used to describe the Bay dilution.
A factor of 20 will be applied in this calculation to address any combination of release modes. Since the intake canal contains a larger volume of water, use of the above dilution factors for effluent releases to the intake canal provides a simplified, conservative methodology for calculating annual dose from effluent releases to the intake canal. The dose contribution to the total body and each individual organ (bone, liver, kidney, lung and GI-LLI) ofthe 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:

: i. If the outfall to the canal is at the furthest most portion of the canal from the entrance to the Bay, this will be estimated by calculating the total activity released (e.g. effluent concentration Ci effluent in pCi/L times the discharge volume V D in Liters) then dividing the total activity of the nuclide discharged during the period, pi co-Curies, by the dilution volume (e.g. total discharged volume V D plus total tidal flow V TD during the period in liters),
and by the Bay dilution factor of20. The total annual tidal flow for the outfall canal is 2.47E+9 Liters/year (e.g., 6.77E+6 Liters/day).
If Gross Alpha radioactivity is determined to be in the effluent, 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.

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 can be performed using the above methodology for the current month, quarter, or year.

NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DEPARTMENT SECTION ODCM TITLE SAFSTORIDECOMMISSIONING OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL VOLUME 4 REVISION 27 PAGE 11-16 The equations provided for determining the doses at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions.
4.3.3 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 = L[Qi X (Rrnll,i
+ RGP,i + RMeat,i + RMilk,i + Rveg,i)]
i=l (4-3) where: D Qi Rlnh,i == RGP,i = RM:eat,i

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 mretn/year (fruit/vegetable consumption pathway) to less than 1 x 1 o-6 mremfyear (for direct radiation exposure from material deposited on the ground).

Tritium is no longer a gaseous effluent source term. d. Liquid releases, No longer applicable.
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 1.109, 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 Offsite Dose Calculation Manual was developed to support the implementation of the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications required by 10 CPR 50, Appendix I, and 10 CPR 50.36. The purpose of the manual is to provide the NRC with sufficient information relative to effluent monitor setpoint calculations, effluent related dose calculations, and environmental monitoring to demonstrate compliance with radiological effluent controls.
9.2 CHANGES TO THE OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL It is recognized that changes to the ODCM may be required during the Decommissioning period. All changes shall be reviewed and approved by the HB Director prior to implementation.
The NRC shall be informed of all changes to the ODCM by providing a description of the change(s) in the first Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report following the date the change became effective.
Records of the reviews performed on change to the ODCM should be documented and retained for the duration of the possession only license.

The annual average D/Q value used in the ODCM (3.00 x 10-8) is based on a stack flow of25,000 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 1 o-3 seconds/cubic meter, calculated as described below 2.1.1 This factor is based on the atmospheric models ofRegulatory 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 tilne" 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 APPENDIXB Revision 27 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:
where: X/Q 1 (1) X/Q 1 (2) 1 X/Q = (3) ulO wind speed at 10 meters above grade, equal to 1 meter/second.
cry lateral plume spread, equal to 4.33 meters for Pasquill Class G at a distance of 150 meters. az 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 3 7 5 meters2, based on the Refueling Building dimensions (about 36 feet high, about 112 feet long). L:Y lateral plume spread (including meander and building wake), meters, equal to 6cry (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)
XIQ 1.32 X 10-2 seconds/meter 3 XIQ 6.59 X 10-3 seconds/meter 3 ODCM APPENDIXB Revision 27 Page B-4 (2) (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 1 o-3 seconds/meter
: 3. 2.2 The atmospheric deposition factor (D/Q) for incidental releases is 5.39 x 10-6 mete{2 for the Particulate Ground Plane Pathway, and is 3.29 x 10-6 mete{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 transpmied 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 1 o-4 meter-1. 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 6cry. For cry equal to 4.33 meters (Pasquill Class Gat a distance of 150 meters),
D/Q is (1.4 x 10-4 mete{1)/ (6 x 4.33 meter)= 5.39 x 10-6 mete{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 APPENDIXB Revision 27 Page B-5 Figure 6 provides a Relative Deposition Rate value of 1.2 X 1 o-4 mete{1. 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 6cry., but at a greater distance.
For cry equal to 6.07 meters (Pasquill Class Gat a distance of220 meters),
D/Q is (1.2 x 10-4 meter-1)/ (6 x 6.07 meter)= 3.29 x 10-6 mete{2*
