The value of sb used in the calculation of LLD for a detection system shall be based on the actual observed variance of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of the blank samples (as appro-priate) rather than on an unverified theoretically predicted variance.

. 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 measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measure-ments and modeling of the environmentaf exposure pathways. The initially specified monitoring program will be effective. for at least the first three .
years of commericial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience. 3/4 12.2 LAND USE CENSUS This specification is provided to ensure that changes F +he use of unre-stricted areas are identified and that modifications to the .nonitoring 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 growning broad leaf vegetation (i.e. ,
similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) a vegetation yeild of 2 kg/ square meter. 3/4 12.3 INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM ihe requirement for participation in an Inter laboratory Comparisen 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 onet of a quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in' order to demonstrate that the results are reasonably valid. l THI-1 H 5/4 3- 148 1

5.1.1 The Three Mile Island ~ Nuclear Station Unit 1 is located in an area of low population density about ten miles southeast.of Harrisburg, Pa. It is in Londonderry Township of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, about two and one-half miles north of the southern' tip of Dauphin County, where Dauphin is coterminal with York and Lancaster Counties. The' station is located on an island approximately three miles in length situated in the Susquehanna River upstream from York Haven Dam. Figure , 2-3 of.the TMI Unit 1 FSAR is an aerial photo of the site showing.the-plant orientation and immediate surroundings. The exlusion area as defined in -10 CFR 100.3, is a 2,000 ft radius, inci 4 ing portions of , Three Mile Island, the. river surface around it, and e portion'of Shelley Island, which is owned by Met-Ed. The minimum distance of 2,000 ft occurs on the chorn of the mainland -in a due casterly direction from the
- plant 'as nhown on Figure 2-3 of. the FSAR. Figure 1-1 of the FSAR is a plot plan showinq the physical location of the fence which defines the " Restricted Area" surrounding the plant. The minimum distance of the- " Restricted Area" is approximately 560 feet and is from the centerline of the TMI Unit 2 Reactor Building to a point on the westerly shoreline ,
- of. Three Mile Island. Figure 5-1 is the Extended Plot Plan for Three Mile Island and includes the Exclusion Area and-the meteorological tower
