a. The lower limit of detection (LLD) is defined in Table Notation a. of Table 4.12-1 of Specification 4.12.1.1. | |||
b. For certain radionuclides with low gamma yield or low energies, or for certain radionuclide mixture, it may not be possible to measure7 radionuclides in concentrations near the detection limit of 5 x 10 | |||
uCi/ml. Under these circumstances, it may be necessary to calculate the concentration of such radionuclides to a lower limit of detection of 5 x 10 uCi/ml using observed ratios with those radionuclides which are measurable, or the lower limit of detection of 5 x 10- UCi/ml may be increased proportionally to the magnitude of the gamma yield (i.e., 5 x 10 /I, where I is the photon abundance expressed as a decimal fraction), but in no case shall the lower limit of detection as calculated in this manner be greater than 10% of the MPC value specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2. | |||
c. 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. | |||
d. To be representative of the average quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples shall be con- tinuously collected 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 repre- sentative of the average effluent release. | |||
e. A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a nondiscrete volume; e.g., from a volume or system that has an input flow during the continuous release. | |||

The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexi- bility 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 effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". | |||
The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A by of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated.

4.2.2.2.1, these equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. | |||
The release rate specifications for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the unrestricted area. | |||
The pathways which were examined in the development of these specifications deposition were: 12 individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 21 consumption of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent by man, 3) deposition onto grassy areas where mtilk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the mtlk and meat by man, and 41 deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man. | |||
3/4.11.2.4 GASEOUS WASTE TREATMENT | |||
The OPERABILITY of the gaseous radwaste treatment system ensures that the system will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the reason- appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides liquid able assurance that the releases of radioactive, materials in effluents will be kept "as low as ts reasonably achievable". This Design specifi- cation implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and the design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the gaseous radwaste treatmentinsystem were specified as a suttable fraction of the guide set forth Sections II.B | |||
and II.C of Appendix I, l0 CFR Part 5Q, for gaseous effluents. | |||

This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the waste gas holdup system is maintained below the flammability limits of hydrogen and oxygen. | |||
(Automatic control features are included in the system to prevent the hydrogen and oxygen concentrations from reaching these flammability limits. | |||
These automatic control features include isolation of the source of hydrogen and/or oxygen, automatic diversion to recombiners, or injection of dilutants to reduce the concentration below the flammability limits.) | |||
Maintaining the concentration of hydrogen and oxygen below their flam- mability limits provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials will be controlled in conformance with the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. | |||
3/4.11.2.6 GAS STORAGE TANKS | |||
Restricting the quantity of radioactivity contained in each gas storage tank provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tanks contents, the resulting total body exposure to an individual at the nearest exclusion area boundary will not exceed 0.5 rem. | |||

BASES | |||
3/4.12.1 MONITORING PROGRAM | |||
The radiological monitoring program 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 measur- able concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first three years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience. | |||
The | The detection capabilities required by Table 4.12-1 are state- of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. | ||

This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I | |||
to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater than | |||
500 square feet provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. | |||

Gentlemen:
In order to provide reasonable assurance that the requirements of
10 CFR 50 Appendix I are implemented at all nuclear power facilities, the NRC staff has prepared the enclosed Appendix I model Technical Specifications. These model specifications are intended to provide guidance in the scope and types of required specifications for each facility in the areas of equipment and administrative requirements including actions we consider appropriate if a limiting condition for operation cannot be met.
The enclosure uses the Standard Technical Specification format with blanks or parentheses appearing where the information is plant specific.
We request that you submit a license amendment application to incorporate the applicable specifications of the enclosed guidance into your Appendix "A" Technical Specifications within the number of days indicated for your facility in the attachment to this letter. A staggered submittal schedule has been selected to facilitate staff review. The staff considers such an amendment to be a CLASS III Amendment per 10 CFR 170.22, provided the application is consistent with the enclosed guidance.

TABLE NOTATION
a. The lower limit of detection (LLD) is defined in Table Notation a. of Table 4.12-1 of Specification 4.12.1.1.
b. For certain radionuclides with low gamma yield or low energies, or for certain radionuclide mixture, it may not be possible to measure7 radionuclides in concentrations near the detection limit of 5 x 10
uCi/ml. Under these circumstances, it may be necessary to calculate the concentration of such radionuclides to a lower limit of detection of 5 x 10 uCi/ml using observed ratios with those radionuclides which are measurable, or the lower limit of detection of 5 x 10- UCi/ml may be increased proportionally to the magnitude of the gamma yield (i.e., 5 x 10 /I, where I is the photon abundance expressed as a decimal fraction), but in no case shall the lower limit of detection as calculated in this manner be greater than 10% of the MPC value specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2.
c. 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.
d. To be representative of the average quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples shall be con- tinuously collected 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 repre- sentative of the average effluent release.
e. A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a nondiscrete volume; e.g., from a volume or system that has an input flow during the continuous release.

This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 5a. The Limiting Condition for Operation implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexi- bility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A
of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effleunts will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". Also, for fresh water sites with drtnking water supplies which can be potentially effected by plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radionuclide concentrations in the finished drinking water that are in excess of the requirements of
40 CFR 141. The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculatiohal procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an Individual through appropriate pathways Is unlikely to be substantially underestimated.

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS
BASES
This specification applies to the release of liquid effluents from each reactor at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the liquid effluents from the shared system are proportioned among the units sharing that system.
The OPERABILITY of the liquid radwaste treatment system ensures that this system will be available for use whenever liquid effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides assur- ance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". This specification imple- ments the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60
of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and the design objectives 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 guide set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I,
10 CFR Part 50, for liquid effluents.
3/4.11.1.4 LIQUID HOLDUP TANKS
Restricting the quantity of radioactive material contained in the specified tanks provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tank's contents, the resulting dose or dose commitment to an individual in an unrestricted area will not exceed 0.5 rem.
3/4.11.2 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS
3/4.11.2.1 DOSE
This specification is provided to ensure that the dose at the unrestricted area boundary from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of
10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual either within or outside the.
unrestricted boundary, to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table II of 10 CFR Part 20 CIO CFR
Part 20.106(b)l. For individuals who may at times be within the unrestricted boundary, the occupancy of the individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the nearest unrestricted area. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose PWR-STS-I B 3/4 11-2

rates.:above.background to an individual at or beyond the unrestricted boundary to < (500) mrem/ year to the total body or to < (3000) mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, it all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to an infant via the cow-milk-infant pathway to < 15Q0 mrem/year for the nearest cow to the plant.
This specification applies to the release of gaseous effluents from each reactor at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the gaseous effluents from the shared system are proportioned among the units sharing that system.
3/4.11.2.2 DOSE, NOBLE GASES
This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.B, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The Limiting Condition for Operation implements the guides set forth in Section II.B
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 material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". 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 an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The equations specified in the Surveillance Requirements for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents were developed from 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,

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS
BASES
Condition for Operation are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexi- bility 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 effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable".
The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A by of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The equations specified in the Surveillance Requirements for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials were also developed using the methodologyto Man provided in Regulatory Guide 1.10%, "Calculation of Annual Doses 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 Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light- Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977. As with the equations used in Specification 4.2.2.2.1, these equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions.
The release rate specifications for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the unrestricted area.
The pathways which were examined in the development of these specifications deposition were: 12 individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 21 consumption of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent by man, 3) deposition onto grassy areas where mtilk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the mtlk and meat by man, and 41 deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.
3/4.11.2.4 GASEOUS WASTE TREATMENT
The OPERABILITY of the gaseous radwaste treatment system ensures that the system will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the reason- appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides liquid able assurance that the releases of radioactive, materials in effluents will be kept "as low as ts reasonably achievable". This Design specifi- cation implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and the design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the gaseous radwaste treatmentinsystem were specified as a suttable fraction of the guide set forth Sections II.B
and II.C of Appendix I, l0 CFR Part 5Q, for gaseous effluents.

BASES
3/4.11.2.5 EXPLOSIVE GAS MIXTURE
This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the waste gas holdup system is maintained below the flammability limits of hydrogen and oxygen.
(Automatic control features are included in the system to prevent the hydrogen and oxygen concentrations from reaching these flammability limits.
These automatic control features include isolation of the source of hydrogen and/or oxygen, automatic diversion to recombiners, or injection of dilutants to reduce the concentration below the flammability limits.)
Maintaining the concentration of hydrogen and oxygen below their flam- mability limits provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials will be controlled in conformance with the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
3/4.11.2.6 GAS STORAGE TANKS
Restricting the quantity of radioactivity contained in each gas storage tank provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tanks contents, the resulting total body exposure to an individual at the nearest exclusion area boundary will not exceed 0.5 rem.
This is consistent with Standard Review Plan 15.7.1, "Waste Gas System Failure".
3/4.11.3 SOLID RADIOACTIVE WASTE
The OPERABILITY of the solid radwaste system ensures that the system will be available for use whenever solid radwastes require processing and packaging prior to being shipped offsite. This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a and General Design Criteria 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. The process parameters included in establish- ing the PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM may include, but are not limited to waste type, waste pH, waste/lIquid/solIdification agent/catalyst ratios, waste oil content, waste principal chemical constituents, mixing and curing times.
PWR-STS-I B 3/4 11-5
3/4.12 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
BASES
3/4.12.1 MONITORING PROGRAM
The radiological monitoring program 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 measur- able concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first three years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.
The detection capabilities required by Table 4.12-1 are state- of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories.
The specified lower limits of detection for 1-131 in water, milk and other food products correspond to approximately one-quarter of the Appendix I
to 10 CFR Part 50 design objective dose-equivalent of 15 mrem/year for atmospheric releases and 10 mrem/year for liquid releases to the most sensitive organ and individual. They are based on the assumptions given 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," March 1976, except the change for an infant consuming 330 liters/year of drinking water instead of 510 liters/year.
3/4.12.2 LAND USE CENSUS
This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of unrestricted areas are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census.
This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I
to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater than
500 square feet provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child.
To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were used, 1) that 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) a vegetation yield of
2 kg/square meter.
