CONTROLLED BY VSER INSTRUMENTATION B'ASES POST ACCIDENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION (Continued)
In the event more than four sensors in a Reactor Vessel Level channel are inoperable, repairs may only be possible during the next refueling outage.
This is because the sensors are accessible only after the missile shield and reactor vessel head are removed. It is'ot feasible to repair a channel except during a refueling outage when the missile shield and reactor vessel head are removed to refuel the core. If both channels are inoperable, the channels shall be restored to OPERABLE status in the nearest refueling out-age. If only one channel is inoperable, it is intented that this channel be restored to OPERABLE status in a refueling outage as soon as reasonably possible.

The alarm/trip set-points for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. This instrumentation also includes rovisions or mons orang an contro sng the concentrations of potentially explosive gas mixtures in the GASEOUS RADMASTE SYSTEM. The OPERA-BILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent. with the requirements of General Qesign Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
There are two separate radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring systems:
the low range effluent monitors for normal plant radioactive gaseous effluents and the high range effluent monitors for post-accident plant radioactive gaseous effluents. The low range monitors operate at all times until the concentration of radioactivity in the effluent becomes too high during post-accident conditions.
The high range monitors only operate when the concentration of radioactivity in the effluent is above the setpoint in the low range monitors. II, PALO VEkQE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 3-5 AMEHDMENT NO. >4

Restricting the concentrations of the secondary liquid wastes discharged to the onsite evapora ion ponds will .restrict the quantity of radioactive material that can get accumu ted in the ponds. This, in turn, provides assurance that in the event of an un ontrolled release of the pond's contents to an UNRESTRICTED AREA, the resulting to 1 body annual exposure from ground contamination to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at he nearest exclusion area boundary will be within 0.5 rem.
This specification ap lies to the secondary system liquid waste discharges of radioactive materials fro all reactor units to the onsite evaporation ponds.
Since the chemical neutralize tank concentrations will bound concentrations in other secondary waste discha ges, surveillance requirements stipulate that sampling and analysis of other s ondary waste discharges need be performed only if the sampling and analysis f the contents of the chemical neutralizer tank shows that the neutralizer tan concentration exceeds the specified LLD.
The required detection capability s for radioactive materials in the secondary liquid waste samples are tabulated in t rms of the lower'imits of detection (LLDs). Detailed discussion of the LLD, nd other detecti.on limits can be found in HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revis d annually), Currie, L. A., "Limits for Qualitative Detection and Quantitative termination - Application-to Radio-chemistry," Anal. Chem. 40, 586-93 (1968), an Hartwell, J.

The ACTION statements provide the required operating flex ility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV:A of Appe dix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents to RESTRICTED AREAS will kept be "as low as is reasonably achievable." Also, for resh water sites with drinking water supplies that can be potentially affected b plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility ill not resul..'n excess of radionuclide concentrations in the finished drinking water that ar in the requirements of 40 CFR Part 141.

These equationq also provide for det mining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditi s. The release rate specifications for iodine-131, iodine-133, tritium, an radionuclides in particulate torm with half-lives greater than 8 days are depend t upon the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the areas at and beyon the SITE BOUNDARY.

that were examined in the development of the calculations were: (1) individual inhalati'on of airborne radionuclides, (2) depo ition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with .subsequent consumption by an, (3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat-producing anima graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and (4) deposition on the round with subsequent exposure of man.

'specificat on provides representative measurements of radiat',on and of radio-active mate 'als in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the h'est potential radiation exposures of'EMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting f>o'm e station-'operation. This monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 o Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the radiological effl nt monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of r dioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the asis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental expo re pathways. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the Radiolo cal Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environ-mental Monitoring. The i 'tially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first 3 ye rs of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may initiated based on operational experience.
The required detection cap ilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the low limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs requi red by Table 4. 12-1 are consi red optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laborator'. It should be recognized that the LLO-is-defined 'as an a priori (before he fact) limit representing the capa-htltty l y d t y t t t t lt th y t) limit for a particular measurement.
