DOMINION. VPAP-2103N REVISION27 PAGES OF 87 1.0 PURPOSE The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) establishes requirements for the Radioactive Effluent and Radiological Environmental Monitoring Programs. Methodology and parameters are provided to calculate offsite doses resulting from radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, to calculate gaseous and liquid effluent monitoring alarm/trip setpoints, and to conduct the Environmental Monitoring Program. Requirements are established for the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report and the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report required by Station Technical Specifications. Calculation of offsite doses due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents are performed to assure that:

• Concentration of radioactive liquid effluents to the unrestricted area will be limited to ten times the effluent concentration values of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases and 2E-4 µCi/ml for dissolved ot entrained noble gases.

• Exposure to the maximum exposed member of the public in the unrestricted.area from radioactive liquid effluents will not result in doses greater than the liquid dose limits of 10 CPR 50, Appendix I

• Dose rate at and beyond the site boundary from radioactive gas~ous effluents will be limited to:

• • Noble gases - less than or equal to a dose rate of 500 mrem/yr to the total body and less than or equal to a dose rate of 3000 mrem/yr to the skin

.~ I 131 , I 133 , and H 3 , and all radioniiclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days - less than or equal to a dose rate of 1500 mrem/yr to any organ

• Exposure from radioactive gaseous effluents to the maximum exposed member of the public in the unrestricted area will not result in doses greater than the gaseous dose limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, and

• Exposure to a real.individual will not exceed 40 CFR 190 dos~ limits 2.0 SCOPE This procedure applies to the Radioactive Effluent and Environmental Monitoring Programs at North Anna Power Station.

DOMINION VPAP-2103N REVISION27 PAGE 15 OF 87

d. Setpoint Calculation NOTE: This methodology does not preclude use of more conservative setpoints.

1. Maximum setpoint values shall be calculated by:

s (2) where:

S - the setpoint, in µCi/ml, of the radioactivity monitor measuring the radioactivity concentration in the effluent line prior to dilution C = the effluent concentration limit for the monitor used to implement 10 CPR 20 for the Station, in µCi/ml FE = maximum design pathway effluent flow rate Fn = dilution water flow rate calculated as:

D =FE+ (218,000 gpm x number of circ. pumps in service)

No dilution is assumed for this pathway. Therefore, Equation (2) becomes:

s =c (3)

The setpoint for Station monitors used to implement 10 CFR 20 for the site becomes the effluent concentration limit.

3. In addition, for added conservatism, setpoints shall be calculated for the liquid radwaste effluent line L W-111 and the Service Water System effluent line SW-108.

DOMINION VPAP-2103N REVISION27 PAGE 16 OF 87

KLw = The fraction of the effluent concentration limit, used to implement 10 CPR 20 for the site, attributable to the liquid radwaste effluent line pathway

5. For the Service Water System effluent line, Equation (2) becomes:

• e-(A..M)

.Where:

LLD = the "a priori" (before the fact) Lower Limit of Detection as defined above (as microcuries per unit mass or volume) (See Subsection 4.8)

Sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute, cpm)

V = the sample size (in units of mass or volume) 2.22E+06 = the number of disintegratioqs per minute (dpm) per microcurie Y = the* fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)

A, = the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide L\t = the elapsed time between the midpoint of sample collection and time of counting Typical values of E, V, Y and L\t should be used in the calculation.

The LLD is an "a priori" (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not a "posteriori" (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

NOTE 2: A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. Before sampling for analyses, each batch shall be isolated, arid then thoroughly mixed as the situation permits, to assure representative sampling.

DOMINION VPAP-2103N REVISION27 PAGE 51OF87 ATTACHMENT 3 (Page 3 of 3)

Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program NOTE 3: The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification applies exclusively are the following radionuclides: Mn54 , Fe59 , Co58 , Co 60 , Zn 65 , Mo 99 , Cs 134, Cs 137 , Ce 141 , and Ce 144. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported.

Other peaks that are measurable and identifiable, at levels exceeding the LLD, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported.

NOTE 4: A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and for which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen that is representative of the liquids released.

NOTE 5: A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a non-discrete volume, e.g., from a volume of a system that has an input flow during the continuous release.

NOTE 6: To be representative of the quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples shall be collected continuously in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream. Prior to analyses, all samples taken for the composite shall be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative-of the effluent releases.

NOTE 7: Whenever the secondary coolant activity exceeds 10-s µCi/ml, the turbine building sump pumps shall be placed in manual operation and samples shall be taken and analyzed prior to release. Secondary coolant activity samples shall be collected and analyzed on a weekly basis.

Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation ACTION 1: If the number of operable channels is less than required, effluent releases, via this path, may continue if the flow rate is estimated at least once per four hours.

ACTION2: If the number of operable channels is less than required, effluent releases, via this path, may continue if grab samples are taken at least once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and these samples are analyzed for gross activity or gamma isotopic activity within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

ACTION 3: If the number of operable channels is less than required, effluent releases via this path may continue if grab samples are taken at least once per twelve (12) hours and these samples are analyzed for gross activity or gamma isotopic activity within eight (8) hours. This requirement is for effluent accountability and is distinct and separate from any requirement for primary-to-secondary leak rate determination. The need to determine the primary-to-secondary leak rate, e.g., the performance of 1/2-PT-46.3B, shall be determined in accordance with the requirements of TRM TR 3.4.5. However, the same sample may be used to fulfill both the requirements of

_this action and primary-to-secondary leak rate determination.

ACTION 4: If the number of operable channels is less than required, the contents of the Waste Gas Decay Tanks may be released to the environment provided that prior to initiation of the release:

a. At least two independent samples of the tank's contents are analyzed, and:

b. At least two technically qualified members of the Station staff independently check the release rate calculations and discharge valve lineup.

ACTION 5: If the number of operable channels is less than required, effluent releases from the Waste Gas Decay Tank may continue provided samples are continuously collected with auxiliary sampling equipment as required in Radioactive Gaseous Waste Sampling and Analysis Program (Attachment 4).

NOTE 1: A channel shall consist of:

a. The flow instrument installed in the ejector through _which the discharge is routed; either Train A (1-SV-FI-lOOA, lOlA), or Train B (1-SV-FI-lOOB, 101B) or both.

b. Flow ins.truments lOlA and lOlB provide low range measurement. Flow instruments lOOA and lOOB provide high range measurement.

NOTE 2: A channel shall consist of:

a. The flow instrument installed in the ejector through which the discharge is routed; either Train A (2-SV-FI-200A, 201A), or Train B (2-SV-FI-200B, 201B) or both.

b. Flow instruments 201A and 201 B provide low range measurement. Flow instruments 200A and

• 200B provide high range measurement.

NOTE 3: A channel shall consist of a MGPI monitor; and a MGPI or HP particulate and iodine sampler, and its associated sampler flow rate measuring device or rotameter.

Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program NOTE 1: The number, media, frequency, and location of samples may vary from site to site. This table presents an acceptable minimum program for a site at which each entry is applicable.

Local site characteristics must be examined to determine if pathways not covered by this table may significantly contribute to an individual's dose and be included in the sampling program.

NOTE 2: For each and every sample location in Environmental Sampling Locations (Attachment 10),

specific parameters of distance and direction sector from the centerline of the reactor, and additional description where pertinent, shall be provided in Attachment 10. Refor to Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Positions and to NUREG-0133, Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plant. Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unattainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons. If specimens are unattainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, every effort shall be made to complet_e corrective action before the end of the next sampling period. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant fo Step 6.7 .1. It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to continue to obtain samples of the media of choice at the most desired location or time. In these instances, suitable alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathway in question and appropriate substitutions made within 30 days in the radiological environmental monitoring program. In lieu of a Licensee Event Report and pursuant to Step 6.7 .2, identify the cause of the unavailability of samples for that pathway and identify the new locations for obtaining replacement samples in the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, and include revised figures and tables from the ODCM reflecting the new locations in the report.

Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program NOTE 3: One or more instruments, such as a pressurized ion chamber, for measuring and recording dose rate continuously may be used in place of, or in addition to, integrating dosimeters.

For the purposes of this table, a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is considered to be one phosphor; two or more phosphors in a packet are considered as two or more dosimeters.

Film badges shall not be used as dosimeters for measuring_direct radiation. The 36 stations are not an absolute number. The number of direct radiation monitoring stations may be reduced according to geographical limitations, e.g., at an ocean site, some sectors will be over water so that the number of dosimeters may be reduced accordingly. The frequency of analysis or readout for TLD systems will depend upon the characteristics of the specific system used and should be sel,ected to obtain optimum dose information with minimal fading. '

NOTE 4: Airborne particulate sample filters shall be analyzed for gross beta radioactivity 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or more after sampling to allow for radon and thoron daughter decay. If gross beta activity in air particulate samples is greater than ten times the yearly !Dean of control samples, gamma isotopic analysis shall be performed on the individual samples.

NOTE 5: Gamma isotopic analysis is theidentification and quantification of gamma-emitting radionuclides that may be attributable to effluents from the facility.

NOTE 6: The dose shall be calculated for the maximum organ and age group~ using the methodology and parameters in the ODCM.

NOTE 7: If milk sampling cannot be performed, use item 4.c (Page 3 of 5, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (Attachment 9)).

NOTE: Additionally, the following TLDs are placed in the indicated locations for Emergency Plan requirements. This is due to the fact that Emergency Plan and Environmental Plan grid centers are in different locations. These TLDs are collected quarterly in conjunction with Environmental Sector TLDs.

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis 1.0 METEOROLOGICAL ANALYSIS 1.1 Purpose The purpose of the meteorological analysis was to determine the annual average X/Q and D/Q values at critical locations around the Station for ventilation vent (ground level) and process vent (mixed mode) releases. The annual average XIQ and D/Q values were used to perform a dose pathway analysis to determine both the maximum exposed individual at site boundary and member of the public. The XIQ and D/Q values resulting in the maximum exposures were incorporated into the dose factors in Gaseous Effluent Dose Factors (Attachment 5) and Critical Organ Dose Factors (Attachment 8).

1.2 Meteorological Data, Parameters, and Methodology Onsite rr:ieteorological data for the period January 1, 1981, through December 31, 1981, were used in calculations. These data included wind speed, wind direction, and differential temperature for the purpose of determini,ng joint frequency distributions for those releases characterized as ground level (e.g., ventilation vent), and those characterized as mixed mode (i.e., process vent). The portions of release characterized as ground level were based on L\T1s8.9ft-28.2ft and 28.2 foot wi.nd data, and the portions characterized as mixed mode were based on L\T1s8.9ft-28.2ft and 158.9 ft wind data.

XIQ's and D/Q's were calculated using the NRC computer code "XOQDOQ - Program for the Meteorological Evaluation of Routine Effluent Releases at Nuclear Power Stations,"

September, 1977. The code is based upon a straight line airflow model implementing the assumptions outlined in Section C (excluding Cla and Clb) of Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors."

The open terrain adjustment factors were applied to the XIQ values as recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.111. The site region is characterized by gently rolling terrain so open terrain correction factors were considered appropriate. The ground level ventilation vent release calculation~ included a building wake correction based on a 1516 m2 containment minimum cross-sectional area.

DOMINION VPAP-2103N REVISION27 PAGE 81OF87 ATTACHMENT 13 (Page 2 of 8)

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis The effective release height used in mixed mode release calculations was based on a process vent release height of 157.5 ft, and plume rise due to momentum for a vent diameter of 3 in.

with plume exit velocity of 100 ft/sec. Ventilation vent, and vent releases other than from the process vent, are considered ground level as specified in Regulatory Guide 1.111 for release points less than the height of adjacent solid structures. Terrain elevations were obtained from North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2, Virginia Electric and Power Company Final Safety Analysis Report Table 1lC.2-8.

XIQ and D/Q values were calculated for the nearest site boundary, resident, milk cow, and vegetable garden by sector for process vent and ventilation vent releases at distances specified from North Anna Power Station Annual Environmental Survey Data for 1981. X/Q values were also calculated for the nearest lake shoreline by sector for the process vent and ventilation vent releases.

According to the definition for short term in NUREG-0133, "Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Stations," October, 1978, some gaseous releases may fit this category, primarily waste gas decay tank releases a~d containment purges.

However, these releases are considered long term for dose calculations as past releases were both random in time of day and duration as evidenced by reviewing past release reports.

Therefore, the use of annual average concentrations is appropriate according to NUREG-0133.

The X/Q and D/Q values calculated from 1981 meteorological data are comparable to the values presented in the North Anna Power Station UFSAR.

1.3 Results The X/Q value that resulted in the maximum total body, skin and inhalation exposure for ventilation vent releases was 9.3E-06 sec/m3 at a site boundary location 1416 meters SE sector. For process vent releases, the site boundary XIQ value was l.2E-06 sec/m3 at a location 1513 meters S sector. The shoreline X/Q value that resulted in the maximum inhalation exposure for ventilation vent releases was l .OE-04 sec/m3 at a location 27 4 meters NNE sector.

The shoreline X/Q value for process vent was 2.7E-06 sec/m3 at a location 274 meters NNE sector.

DOMINION VPAP-2103N REVISION27 PAGE 820F 87 ATTACHMENT 13 (Page 3 of 8)

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis The original pathway analysis indicated that the maximum exposure from I 131 , I 133 , and from all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days was through the grass-cow-milk pathway. The D/Q value from ventilation vent releases resulting in the maximum exposure was 2.4E-09 per m2 at a location 3250 meters N sector. For process vent releases, the D/Q value was l.lE-09 per m2 at a location 3250 meters N sector. For tritium, the X/Q value from ventilation vent releases resulting in the maximum exposure for the milk pathway was 7.2E-07 sec/m3, and 3.9E-07 sec/m3 for process vent releases at a location 3250 meters N sector.

Analysis using 2007 release data indicates that the most limiting critical organ is the child's thyroid. The location is 1593 meters SSE sector. For process vent releases, the D/Q is 1.lE-8.

For tritium releases, the XJQ values at this location are 9 .SE-7 for the process vent and 3 .3E-6 for the ventilation vents.

2.0 LIQUID PATHWAY ANALYSIS 2.1 Purpose The purpose of the liquid pathway analysis was to determine the maximum exposed member of the public in unrestricted areas as a result of radioactive liquid effluent releases. The analysis includes a determination of most restrictive liquid pathway, most restrictive age group, and critical organ. This analysis is required for Subsection 6.2.

2.2 Data, Parameters, and Methodology Initially, radioactive liquid effluent release data for the years 1979, 1980, and 1°981 were compiled from the North Anna Power Station semi-annual effluent release reports. The data for each year, along with appropriate site specific parameters and default selected parameters, were entered into the NRC computer code LADTAP as described in NUREG-0133.

DOMINION VPAP-2103N REVISION 27 PAGE 83 OF 87 ATTACHMENT 13 (Page 4 of 8)

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis Re-concentration of effluents using the small lake connected to larger water body model was selected with the appropriate parameters determined from Table 3.5.3.5, Design Data for Reservoir and Waste Heat Treatment Facility from Virgini~ Electric and Power Company, Applicant's Environmental Report Supplement, North Anna Power Station, Units 1and2, March 15, 1972. Dilution factors for aquatic foods, shoreline, and drinking water were set to one. Transit time calculations were based on average flow rates. All other parameters were defaults selected by the LADT AP computer code.

Beginning in 1997, the activity by nuclide released i1!- the previous year is entered into the North Anna Power Station liquid pathway critical organ calculations spreadsheet, which calculates the most limiting age group total body and critical organ. This Process is repeated annually.

2.3 Results Initially, the fish pathway resulted in the largest dose. The critical organ each year was the liver, and the adult and teenage age groups received the same organ dose. However, since the adult total body dose was greater than the teen total body dose for each year, the adult was selected as the most restrictive age group. Beginning in 1997, the most limiting age group for both total body and critical orggn is.calculated from the spreadsheet or equivalent software for North Anna Power Station liquid pathway critical organ calculations.

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis 3.0 GASEOUS PATHWAY ANALYSIS 3.1 Purpose A gaseous effluent pathway analysis was performed to determine the location that would result in the maximum doses due to noble gases for use in demonstrating compliance with Steps 6.3.1.a. and 6.3.3.a. The analysis also included a determination of the critical pathway, location of maximum exposed member of the public, and the critical organ for the maximum dose due to I 131 , I 133 , tritium, and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half-Ii ves greater than 8 days for use in demonstrating compliance with requirements in Step 6.3.4.a. l. In addition, the analysis included a determination of the critical pathway, maximum age group, and.sector location of an exposed individual through the inhalation pathway from I 131 , I 133 ,

tritium, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days to demonstrate compliance with Step 6.3.1.a.

3.2 Data, Parameters, and Methodology Annual average XIQ values were calculated, as described in Section 1 of this attachment, for the nearest site boundary in each directional sector and at other critical locations beyond the site boundary. The largestX/Q value was determined to be 9.3E-06 sec/m3 at site boundary for ventilation vent releases at a location 1416 meters SE direction, and l.2E-06 sec/m3 at site boundary for process vent releases at a location 1513 meters S direc_tion. The maximum doses to total body and skin, and air doses for gamma and beta radiation due to noble gases, would be at these site boundary locations. The doses from both release points are summed in calculations to calculate total maximum dose.

Step 6.3. l .a.2 dose limits apply specifically to the inhalation pathway. Therefore, the locations.

I and XIQ values determined for maximum noble gas doses can be used to determine the maximum dose from I 131 , I 133 , tritium, and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days for the inhalation pathway.

DOMINION VPAP-2103N REVISION27 PAGE 85 OF 87 ATTACHMENT 13 C:Page 6 of 8)

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis The NRC computer code GASPAR, "Evaluation of Atmospheric Releases," Revised 8/19177, was run using 1979, 1980 and 1981 North Anna Power Station Gaseous Effluent Release Report data. Doses from I131 , I 133 , tritium, and particulates for the inhalation pathway were calculated using the 9.3E-06 sec/m3 site boundary XIQ. Except for the source term data and the XIQ value, computer code default parameters were used. Results for each year indicated that the critical age group was the child and the critical organ was the thyroid for the inhalation pathway.

The gamma and beta dose factors Kivv, Livv, Mivv, and Nivv in Gaseous Effluent Dose Factors (Attachment 5) were. obtained by performing a units conversion of the appropriate dose factors from Table B-1, Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1, to mrem/yr per Ci/m3 or mrad/yr per Ci/m3, and multiplying by the ventilation vent site boundary XIQ value of 9 .3E-06 sec/m3. The same approach was used in calculating the gamma and beta dose factors Kipv, Lipv, Mipv, and Nipv in Gaseous Effluent Dose Factors (Attachment 5) using the process vent site boundary XIQ value of l.2E-06 sec/m3.

The inhalation pathway dose factors Pivv and Pipv in Gaseous Effluent Dose Factors (Attachment 5) were calculated using the following equation:

Pi = K'(BR) DFAi(XIQ) (mrem/yr per Curie/sec) (29-1) where:

K' = a constant of unit conversion, IE+ 12 pCi/Ci BR = the breathing rate of the child age group, 3700 m3/yr, from Table E-5, Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev.1 DFAi = the thyroid organ inhalation dose factor for child age group for the ith radionuclide, in mrem/pCi, from Table E-9, Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1 X!Q = the ventilation vent site boundary XIQ, 9.3E-06 sec/m3, or the process vent site boundary XIQ, 1.2E-06 sec/m3, as appropriate

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis Step 6.3 .4.a., requires that the dose to the maximum exposed member of the public from I 131 ,

I 133 , tritium, and from all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days be less than or equal to the specified limits. Dose calculations' were performed for an exposed member of the public within site boundary unrestricted areas, and to an exposed member of the public beyond site boundary at locations identified in the North Anna Power Station Annual Environmental Survey Data for 1981.

It was determined that the member of the public within site boundary would be using Lake Anna for recreational purposes a maximum of 2232 hours0.0258 days <br />0.62 hours <br />0.00369 weeks <br />8.49276e-4 months <br /> per year. It is assumed that this member of the public would be located the entire 2232 hours0.0258 days <br />0.62 hours <br />0.00369 weeks <br />8.49276e-4 months <br /> at the lake shoreline with the largest annual X/Q of l.OE-04 at a location 274 meters NNE sector. The NRCcomputer code GASPAR was run to calculate the inhalation dose to this individual. The GASPAR results were corrected for the fractional year the member of the public would be using the lake.

Using the NRC computer code GASPAR and annual average X/Q and D/Q values obtained as described in Section 1 of this attachment, the member of the public receiving the largest dose beyond site boundary was*determined to be located 1432 meters N sector. The critical pathway was vegetation, the maximum exposed age group was the child, and the critical organ was the thyroid.

Pathway analysis results indicate that existing pathways, including ground and inhalation, within five miles of North Anna Power Station, yield Ri dose factors less than those determined for the vegetation. [Reference 3.1.32]

The RMivv and RMipv dose factors, except for tritium, in Critical Organ Dose Factors (Attachment 8) were calculated by multiplying the appropriate D/Q value with the following equation:*

Parameters used in the above equation were obtained from NUR!3G-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109, Revision 1 Since the concentration of tritium in vegetation is based on the airborne concentration rather than the deposition, the Critical Organ Dose Factors (Attachment 8)for tritium were calculated by multiplying the following equation by the appropriate X/Q:

DOMINION. VPAP-2103N REVISION27 PAGES OF 87 1.0 PURPOSE The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) establishes requirements for the Radioactive Effluent and Radiological Environmental Monitoring Programs. Methodology and parameters are provided to calculate offsite doses resulting from radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, to calculate gaseous and liquid effluent monitoring alarm/trip setpoints, and to conduct the Environmental Monitoring Program. Requirements are established for the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report and the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report required by Station Technical Specifications. Calculation of offsite doses due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents are performed to assure that:

• Concentration of radioactive liquid effluents to the unrestricted area will be limited to ten times the effluent concentration values of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases and 2E-4 µCi/ml for dissolved ot entrained noble gases.

• Exposure to the maximum exposed member of the public in the unrestricted.area from radioactive liquid effluents will not result in doses greater than the liquid dose limits of 10 CPR 50, Appendix I

• Dose rate at and beyond the site boundary from radioactive gas~ous effluents will be limited to:

• • Noble gases - less than or equal to a dose rate of 500 mrem/yr to the total body and less than or equal to a dose rate of 3000 mrem/yr to the skin

.~ I 131 , I 133 , and H 3 , and all radioniiclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days - less than or equal to a dose rate of 1500 mrem/yr to any organ

• Exposure from radioactive gaseous effluents to the maximum exposed member of the public in the unrestricted area will not result in doses greater than the gaseous dose limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, and

• Exposure to a real.individual will not exceed 40 CFR 190 dos~ limits 2.0 SCOPE This procedure applies to the Radioactive Effluent and Environmental Monitoring Programs at North Anna Power Station.

E

• V

• 2.22E+06 *. Y

• e-(A..M)

.Where:

LLD = the "a priori" (before the fact) Lower Limit of Detection as defined above (as microcuries per unit mass or volume) (See Subsection 4.8)

Sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute, cpm)

E = th_e counting efficiency (as counts per disintegration)

V = the sample size (in units of mass or volume) 2.22E+06 = the number of disintegratioqs per minute (dpm) per microcurie Y = the* fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)

A, = the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide L\t = the elapsed time between the midpoint of sample collection and time of counting Typical values of E, V, Y and L\t should be used in the calculation.

The LLD is an "a priori" (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not a "posteriori" (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

NOTE 2: A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. Before sampling for analyses, each batch shall be isolated, arid then thoroughly mixed as the situation permits, to assure representative sampling.

DOMINION VPAP-2103N REVISION27 PAGE 51OF87 ATTACHMENT 3 (Page 3 of 3)

Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program NOTE 3: The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification applies exclusively are the following radionuclides: Mn54 , Fe59 , Co58 , Co 60 , Zn 65 , Mo 99 , Cs 134, Cs 137 , Ce 141 , and Ce 144. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported.

Other peaks that are measurable and identifiable, at levels exceeding the LLD, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported.

NOTE 4: A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and for which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen that is representative of the liquids released.

NOTE 5: A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a non-discrete volume, e.g., from a volume of a system that has an input flow during the continuous release.

NOTE 6: To be representative of the quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples shall be collected continuously in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream. Prior to analyses, all samples taken for the composite shall be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative-of the effluent releases.

NOTE 7: Whenever the secondary coolant activity exceeds 10-s µCi/ml, the turbine building sump pumps shall be placed in manual operation and samples shall be taken and analyzed prior to release. Secondary coolant activity samples shall be collected and analyzed on a weekly basis. These samples are analyzed for gross activity or gamma i_sotopic activity within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program NOTE 1: The number, media, frequency, and location of samples may vary from site to site. This table presents an acceptable minimum program for a site at which each entry is applicable.

Local site characteristics must be examined to determine if pathways not covered by this table may significantly contribute to an individual's dose and be included in the sampling program.

NOTE 2: For each and every sample location in Environmental Sampling Locations (Attachment 10),

specific parameters of distance and direction sector from the centerline of the reactor, and additional description where pertinent, shall be provided in Attachment 10. Refor to Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Positions and to NUREG-0133, Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plant. Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unattainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons. If specimens are unattainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, every effort shall be made to complet_e corrective action before the end of the next sampling period. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant fo Step 6.7 .1. It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to continue to obtain samples of the media of choice at the most desired location or time. In these instances, suitable alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathway in question and appropriate substitutions made within 30 days in the radiological environmental monitoring program. In lieu of a Licensee Event Report and pursuant to Step 6.7 .2, identify the cause of the unavailability of samples for that pathway and identify the new locations for obtaining replacement samples in the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, and include revised figures and tables from the ODCM reflecting the new locations in the report.

Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program NOTE 3: One or more instruments, such as a pressurized ion chamber, for measuring and recording dose rate continuously may be used in place of, or in addition to, integrating dosimeters.

For the purposes of this table, a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is considered to be one phosphor; two or more phosphors in a packet are considered as two or more dosimeters.

Film badges shall not be used as dosimeters for measuring_direct radiation. The 36 stations are not an absolute number. The number of direct radiation monitoring stations may be reduced according to geographical limitations, e.g., at an ocean site, some sectors will be over water so that the number of dosimeters may be reduced accordingly. The frequency of analysis or readout for TLD systems will depend upon the characteristics of the specific system used and should be sel,ected to obtain optimum dose information with minimal fading. '

NOTE 4: Airborne particulate sample filters shall be analyzed for gross beta radioactivity 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or more after sampling to allow for radon and thoron daughter decay. If gross beta activity in air particulate samples is greater than ten times the yearly !Dean of control samples, gamma isotopic analysis shall be performed on the individual samples.

NOTE 5: Gamma isotopic analysis is theidentification and quantification of gamma-emitting radionuclides that may be attributable to effluents from the facility.

NOTE 6: The dose shall be calculated for the maximum organ and age group~ using the methodology and parameters in the ODCM.

NOTE 7: If milk sampling cannot be performed, use item 4.c (Page 3 of 5, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (Attachment 9)).

NOTE: Additionally, the following TLDs are placed in the indicated locations for Emergency Plan requirements. This is due to the fact that Emergency Plan and Environmental Plan grid centers are in different locations. These TLDs are collected quarterly in conjunction with Environmental Sector TLDs.

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis 1.0 METEOROLOGICAL ANALYSIS 1.1 Purpose The purpose of the meteorological analysis was to determine the annual average X/Q and D/Q values at critical locations around the Station for ventilation vent (ground level) and process vent (mixed mode) releases. The annual average XIQ and D/Q values were used to perform a dose pathway analysis to determine both the maximum exposed individual at site boundary and member of the public. The XIQ and D/Q values resulting in the maximum exposures were incorporated into the dose factors in Gaseous Effluent Dose Factors (Attachment 5) and Critical Organ Dose Factors (Attachment 8).

1.2 Meteorological Data, Parameters, and Methodology Onsite rr:ieteorological data for the period January 1, 1981, through December 31, 1981, were used in calculations. These data included wind speed, wind direction, and differential temperature for the purpose of determini,ng joint frequency distributions for those releases characterized as ground level (e.g., ventilation vent), and those characterized as mixed mode (i.e., process vent). The portions of release characterized as ground level were based on L\T1s8.9ft-28.2ft and 28.2 foot wi.nd data, and the portions characterized as mixed mode were based on L\T1s8.9ft-28.2ft and 158.9 ft wind data.

XIQ's and D/Q's were calculated using the NRC computer code "XOQDOQ - Program for the Meteorological Evaluation of Routine Effluent Releases at Nuclear Power Stations,"

September, 1977. The code is based upon a straight line airflow model implementing the assumptions outlined in Section C (excluding Cla and Clb) of Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors."

The open terrain adjustment factors were applied to the XIQ values as recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.111. The site region is characterized by gently rolling terrain so open terrain correction factors were considered appropriate. The ground level ventilation vent release calculation~ included a building wake correction based on a 1516 m2 containment minimum cross-sectional area.

DOMINION VPAP-2103N REVISION27 PAGE 81OF87 ATTACHMENT 13 (Page 2 of 8)

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis The effective release height used in mixed mode release calculations was based on a process vent release height of 157.5 ft, and plume rise due to momentum for a vent diameter of 3 in.

with plume exit velocity of 100 ft/sec. Ventilation vent, and vent releases other than from the process vent, are considered ground level as specified in Regulatory Guide 1.111 for release points less than the height of adjacent solid structures. Terrain elevations were obtained from North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2, Virginia Electric and Power Company Final Safety Analysis Report Table 1lC.2-8.

XIQ and D/Q values were calculated for the nearest site boundary, resident, milk cow, and vegetable garden by sector for process vent and ventilation vent releases at distances specified from North Anna Power Station Annual Environmental Survey Data for 1981. X/Q values were also calculated for the nearest lake shoreline by sector for the process vent and ventilation vent releases.

According to the definition for short term in NUREG-0133, "Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Stations," October, 1978, some gaseous releases may fit this category, primarily waste gas decay tank releases a~d containment purges.

However, these releases are considered long term for dose calculations as past releases were both random in time of day and duration as evidenced by reviewing past release reports.

Therefore, the use of annual average concentrations is appropriate according to NUREG-0133.

The X/Q and D/Q values calculated from 1981 meteorological data are comparable to the values presented in the North Anna Power Station UFSAR.

1.3 Results The X/Q value that resulted in the maximum total body, skin and inhalation exposure for ventilation vent releases was 9.3E-06 sec/m3 at a site boundary location 1416 meters SE sector. For process vent releases, the site boundary XIQ value was l.2E-06 sec/m3 at a location 1513 meters S sector. The shoreline X/Q value that resulted in the maximum inhalation exposure for ventilation vent releases was l .OE-04 sec/m3 at a location 27 4 meters NNE sector.

The shoreline X/Q value for process vent was 2.7E-06 sec/m3 at a location 274 meters NNE sector.

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis The original pathway analysis indicated that the maximum exposure from I 131 , I 133 , and from all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days was through the grass-cow-milk pathway. The D/Q value from ventilation vent releases resulting in the maximum exposure was 2.4E-09 per m2 at a location 3250 meters N sector. For process vent releases, the D/Q value was l.lE-09 per m2 at a location 3250 meters N sector. For tritium, the X/Q value from ventilation vent releases resulting in the maximum exposure for the milk pathway was 7.2E-07 sec/m3, and 3.9E-07 sec/m3 for process vent releases at a location 3250 meters N sector.

Analysis using 2007 release data indicates that the most limiting critical organ is the child's thyroid. The location is 1593 meters SSE sector. For process vent releases, the D/Q is 1.lE-8.

For tritium releases, the XJQ values at this location are 9 .SE-7 for the process vent and 3 .3E-6 for the ventilation vents.

2.0 LIQUID PATHWAY ANALYSIS 2.1 Purpose The purpose of the liquid pathway analysis was to determine the maximum exposed member of the public in unrestricted areas as a result of radioactive liquid effluent releases. The analysis includes a determination of most restrictive liquid pathway, most restrictive age group, and critical organ. This analysis is required for Subsection 6.2.

2.2 Data, Parameters, and Methodology Initially, radioactive liquid effluent release data for the years 1979, 1980, and 1°981 were compiled from the North Anna Power Station semi-annual effluent release reports. The data for each year, along with appropriate site specific parameters and default selected parameters, were entered into the NRC computer code LADTAP as described in NUREG-0133.

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis Re-concentration of effluents using the small lake connected to larger water body model was selected with the appropriate parameters determined from Table 3.5.3.5, Design Data for Reservoir and Waste Heat Treatment Facility from Virgini~ Electric and Power Company, Applicant's Environmental Report Supplement, North Anna Power Station, Units 1and2, March 15, 1972. Dilution factors for aquatic foods, shoreline, and drinking water were set to one. Transit time calculations were based on average flow rates. All other parameters were defaults selected by the LADT AP computer code.

Beginning in 1997, the activity by nuclide released i1!- the previous year is entered into the North Anna Power Station liquid pathway critical organ calculations spreadsheet, which calculates the most limiting age group total body and critical organ. This Process is repeated annually.

2.3 Results Initially, the fish pathway resulted in the largest dose. The critical organ each year was the liver, and the adult and teenage age groups received the same organ dose. However, since the adult total body dose was greater than the teen total body dose for each year, the adult was selected as the most restrictive age group. Beginning in 1997, the most limiting age group for both total body and critical orggn is.calculated from the spreadsheet or equivalent software for North Anna Power Station liquid pathway critical organ calculations.

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis 3.0 GASEOUS PATHWAY ANALYSIS 3.1 Purpose A gaseous effluent pathway analysis was performed to determine the location that would result in the maximum doses due to noble gases for use in demonstrating compliance with Steps 6.3.1.a. and 6.3.3.a. The analysis also included a determination of the critical pathway, location of maximum exposed member of the public, and the critical organ for the maximum dose due to I 131 , I 133 , tritium, and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half-Ii ves greater than 8 days for use in demonstrating compliance with requirements in Step 6.3.4.a. l. In addition, the analysis included a determination of the critical pathway, maximum age group, and.sector location of an exposed individual through the inhalation pathway from I 131 , I 133 ,

tritium, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days to demonstrate compliance with Step 6.3.1.a.

3.2 Data, Parameters, and Methodology Annual average XIQ values were calculated, as described in Section 1 of this attachment, for the nearest site boundary in each directional sector and at other critical locations beyond the site boundary. The largestX/Q value was determined to be 9.3E-06 sec/m3 at site boundary for ventilation vent releases at a location 1416 meters SE direction, and l.2E-06 sec/m3 at site boundary for process vent releases at a location 1513 meters S direc_tion. The maximum doses to total body and skin, and air doses for gamma and beta radiation due to noble gases, would be at these site boundary locations. The doses from both release points are summed in calculations to calculate total maximum dose.

Step 6.3. l .a.2 dose limits apply specifically to the inhalation pathway. Therefore, the locations.

I and XIQ values determined for maximum noble gas doses can be used to determine the maximum dose from I 131 , I 133 , tritium, and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days for the inhalation pathway.

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis The NRC computer code GASPAR, "Evaluation of Atmospheric Releases," Revised 8/19177, was run using 1979, 1980 and 1981 North Anna Power Station Gaseous Effluent Release Report data. Doses from I131 , I 133 , tritium, and particulates for the inhalation pathway were calculated using the 9.3E-06 sec/m3 site boundary XIQ. Except for the source term data and the XIQ value, computer code default parameters were used. Results for each year indicated that the critical age group was the child and the critical organ was the thyroid for the inhalation pathway.

The gamma and beta dose factors Kivv, Livv, Mivv, and Nivv in Gaseous Effluent Dose Factors (Attachment 5) were. obtained by performing a units conversion of the appropriate dose factors from Table B-1, Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1, to mrem/yr per Ci/m3 or mrad/yr per Ci/m3, and multiplying by the ventilation vent site boundary XIQ value of 9 .3E-06 sec/m3. The same approach was used in calculating the gamma and beta dose factors Kipv, Lipv, Mipv, and Nipv in Gaseous Effluent Dose Factors (Attachment 5) using the process vent site boundary XIQ value of l.2E-06 sec/m3.

The inhalation pathway dose factors Pivv and Pipv in Gaseous Effluent Dose Factors (Attachment 5) were calculated using the following equation:

Pi = K'(BR) DFAi(XIQ) (mrem/yr per Curie/sec) (29-1) where:

K' = a constant of unit conversion, IE+ 12 pCi/Ci BR = the breathing rate of the child age group, 3700 m3/yr, from Table E-5, Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev.1 DFAi = the thyroid organ inhalation dose factor for child age group for the ith radionuclide, in mrem/pCi, from Table E-9, Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1 X!Q = the ventilation vent site boundary XIQ, 9.3E-06 sec/m3, or the process vent site boundary XIQ, 1.2E-06 sec/m3, as appropriate

Meteorological, Liquid, and Gaseous Pathway Analysis Step 6.3 .4.a., requires that the dose to the maximum exposed member of the public from I 131 ,

I 133 , tritium, and from all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days be less than or equal to the specified limits. Dose calculations' were performed for an exposed member of the public within site boundary unrestricted areas, and to an exposed member of the public beyond site boundary at locations identified in the North Anna Power Station Annual Environmental Survey Data for 1981.

It was determined that the member of the public within site boundary would be using Lake Anna for recreational purposes a maximum of 2232 hours0.0258 days <br />0.62 hours <br />0.00369 weeks <br />8.49276e-4 months <br /> per year. It is assumed that this member of the public would be located the entire 2232 hours0.0258 days <br />0.62 hours <br />0.00369 weeks <br />8.49276e-4 months <br /> at the lake shoreline with the largest annual X/Q of l.OE-04 at a location 274 meters NNE sector. The NRCcomputer code GASPAR was run to calculate the inhalation dose to this individual. The GASPAR results were corrected for the fractional year the member of the public would be using the lake.

Using the NRC computer code GASPAR and annual average X/Q and D/Q values obtained as described in Section 1 of this attachment, the member of the public receiving the largest dose beyond site boundary was*determined to be located 1432 meters N sector. The critical pathway was vegetation, the maximum exposed age group was the child, and the critical organ was the thyroid.

Pathway analysis results indicate that existing pathways, including ground and inhalation, within five miles of North Anna Power Station, yield Ri dose factors less than those determined for the vegetation. [Reference 3.1.32]

The RMivv and RMipv dose factors, except for tritium, in Critical Organ Dose Factors (Attachment 8) were calculated by multiplying the appropriate D/Q value with the following equation:*

Parameters used in the above equation were obtained from NUR!3G-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109, Revision 1 Since the concentration of tritium in vegetation is based on the airborne concentration rather than the deposition, the Critical Organ Dose Factors (Attachment 8)for tritium were calculated by multiplying the following equation by the appropriate X/Q:
