(~N Chapter 10 Change Summary V,  ODCM Revision 2.0, March 1999 Page          Change Description 10-i          Updated revision number.
10-7          In section 10.2.1.3 changed wording to reflect the fact that the Floor Drain Sample Tanks can be directly discharged into discharge canal.
In section 10.2.2.1 changed the wording from "The monitor is used to monitor all releases..." to "The monitor is used to monitor releases...".
Monitor operability requirements are given in ODCM Table 12.2-1, and there are allowances for discharges without a monitor c,perable.
In section 10.2.2.1 added wording about the other possible discharge pathways which could be monitored by liquid radwaste effluent monitor ,
prior to being discharged into the discharge canal.
10-13        Revised Figure 10-3 to show the presence of" portable waste treatment systems". Portable treatment systems have the flexibility to connect at various locations in the radwaste system for discharge to the river.

                  ' A simplified gaseous radwaste and gaseous effluent flow diagram is provided for Dresden Unit 1 in Figure 10-1 and for Dresden Units 2 and 3 in Figure 10-2. Dresden 1 is no longer operational, but monitoring of potentially radioactive releases from the plant chimney continues Each airbome release point is classified as stack, vent, or ground level in accordance with the definitions in Section 4.1.4 and the results in Table A-1 of Appendix A. The principal relean points for potentially radioactive airbome effluents and their classifications are as follows:                                                                                  -
For Dresden 1, the plant chimney (a stack release point).                        -a For Dresden 2/3:
The ventilation chimney (a stack release point).
The reactor building ventilation stack (a vent release point).
10.1.1.1        Condenser Offgas Treatment System f                  The condenser offgas treatment system is designed and installed to reduce radioactive
                . gaseous effluents by collecting non-condensable off-gases from the condenser and providing for holdup to reduce the total radioactivity by radiodecay prior to release to the environment. The daughter products are retained by charcoal and HEPA filters. The system is described in Section 11.3 of the Dresden UFSAR.
10.1.1.2        Ventilation Exhaust Treatment System                                                            I Ventilation exhaust treatment systems are designed and installed to reduce gaseous radioiodine or radioactive materialin particulate form in selected effluent streams by passing ventilation or vent exhaust gases through charcoal absorbers and/or HEPA filters prior to release to the environment. Such a system is not considered to have any effect on noble        ;
gas effluents. The ventilation exhau'st treatment systems are shown in Figures 10-1 and        i 10 2.
Engineered safety features atmospheric cleanup systems are not considered to be ventilation exhaust treatment system components.

10.1.2          Radiation Monitors 10.1.2.1        Uret 1 Chimney Monitor The SPING continuously monitors the final effluent from the Unit 1 chimney.
The monitor has isokinetic sampling, gaseous grab sampling, and particulate and iodine sampling capability. Tritium samples are obtained using a portable sampling system. A tap is available for obtaining a sample from the isokinetic probe.
In normal operation all three noble gas channels (low, mid-range, high) are on line and active.
No automatic isolation or control functions are performed by this monitor.
10.1.2.2        Units 2/3 Chimney Monitor The SPING continuously monitors the final effluent from the Units 2/3 chimney.
The monitor has isokinetic sampling, gaseous grab samplitig, particulate and iodine sampling, and postaccident sampling capability. Tritium samples are obtained using a portable sampling system. A tap is available for obtaining a sample from the isokinetic probe.
In normal operation the two lower noble gas channels (low and mid-range) are on line and active. The high range noble gas channel flow is bypassed and this channel is in standby.
At a predetermined threshold the low and mid-range noble gas channels are bypassed and only the high range noble gas channel remains active.
No automatic isolation or control functions are performed by this monitor. Pertinent information on this monitor is provided in the Dresden UFSAR Section 11.5.
In addition to the pnmary monitor described above, there is a backup system consisting of two additional detectors and sample taps in series in the primary sample stream.
10.1.2.3        Reactor Building Vent Stack Eftluent Monitors The SPING continuously monitors the final effluent from the reactor building vent stack.
The vent stack monitor has isokinetic sampling, gaseous sampling, and iodine and particulate sampling capability. Tritium samples are obtained using a portable sampling system. A tap is available for obtaining a sample from the isokinetic probe.

DRESDEN                                      Reveon 2.0 March 1999 10.1.2.4    Reactor Building Ventilation Monitors The monitor (located in the ventilation exhaust duct) monitors the effluent from the Unit 2(3) reactor building ventilation. On high alarm, the monitors automatically Mitiate isolation of the Unit 2(3) reactor building ventilation, and initiate startup of the Unit 2/3 standby gas treatment system.
Pertinent information on these monitors is provided in Dresden UFSAR Section 11.5.
10.1.2.5    Condenser Air Ejector Monitors The monitors continuously monitor gross gamma activity downstream of the Unit 2 and 3 steam jet air ejector and prior to release to the main chimney.
At the trip setpoint the moniters automatically activate an interval timer which in tum initiates closure of an air operated valve, thus terminating the release.
Perbnent information on there monitors is found in Dresden UFSAR Section 11.5.
10.1.2.6    Isolabon Condenser Vent Monitor

10.1.3.5    HVAC Flow Rates The HVAC exhaust flow rates are obtained from either the Units 2/3 process computers or the SPING control station. For the 2/3 Chimney, additional process flow rates must be added to obtain the total chimney flow (see Figure 10-2). Unit operation may affect actual flow rates which therefore may differ from values listed. If the actual flows are not available, the following default values based on design flow can be used:
Units 2/3 Chimney Air Flow                                          1.25E10 cc/ min Units 2/3 Combined Reactor Vent                                    6.23E9 cc/ min Unit 1 Chimney Air Flow                                            1.76E9 cc/ min 10.1.4      Allocation of Effluents from Common Release Points                                                ]
i Radioactive gases, particulates, and iodines released from the Unit 1 chimney originate from Unit i only. However, radioactive gaseous effluents released from Units 2/3 are comprised of contnbutions from both units. Estimates of noble gas contributions from Units          i 2 and 3 are allocated considering appropriate operating conditions and measured SJAE off-          ]
gas activities. Allocation of radiciodine and radioactive particulate releases to Units 2 or 3    j specifically is not as practical and is influenced greatly by in.-plant leakage. Under normal      j operating conditions, allocation is made using reactor coolant iodine activities. During unit      j shutdowns or periods of known major in-plant leakage, the apportionment is adjusted                I accordingly. The allocation of effluents is estimated on a monthly basis.                        ),
10.1.5        Dose Projections Because the gaseous releases are continuous, the doses are routinely ca!culated in                '

The liquid radwaste treatment system is designed and installed to reduce radioactive liquid effluents by collecting the liquids, providing for retention or holdup, and providing for treatment by evaporator, demineralizer, filter, and further vendor processing systems for the purpose of reducing the total radioactivity prior to reuse or release to the environment. The    ;
system is described in the Dresden UFSAR Section 11.2.                                            j 10.2.1.1      Unit 1 Storage Tanks Liquid ra:"aactive effluents are not released from Unit 1 Storage tanks directly to the environment but are made through the Units 2/3 radwaste system.
10.2.1.2      Units 2/3 Waste Sample Tanks l
There are three waste sample tanks (33,000 gallons each) which receive water from the liquid waste treatment systern. These tanks are transferred to the waste surge tank for

DRESDEN                                    Revision 2.0 March 1999 10.2.3.3      Release Limits Release limits are determined from 10CFR20. Calculated maximum permissible discharge rates are divided by 10 to ensure that applicable derived water concentrations (DWC) are not exceeded.
10.2.3.4      Release Mixture For the liquid radwaste effluent monitor, the release mixture used for the setpoint determination is the radionuclide mix identified in the grab sample isotopic analysis.
For all other liquid effluent monitors, no release mixture is used becmse the setpoint is established at "two times background."
10.2.3.5      Conversion Factors i ne readout for the liquid radwaste effluent monitor is in CPM. The calibration constant is based on the detector sensitivity to Co-60.
The readouts for the Units 2 & 3 service water effluent monitors are in Ci/ml. The calibration constar.ts are based on the detector sensitivity to Co-60.                      ~
10.2.3.6      Liquid Dilution Flow Rates The dilution flow is determined using the installed flowmeter in the discharge canal.
10.2.4        Allocation of Effluents from Common Release Points Radioactive liquid effluents released ~from the release tanks are comprised of                  O contributions from all three units. Under normal operating conditions, it is difficutt to apportion the radioactivity between the units. Consequently, allocation is normally made evenly between units 2 and 3.
10.2.5        Projected Doses for Releases Doses due to liquid effluents are calculated in accordance with the RETS.

: 1. Radioactive Liauid Effluent Monitorina instrumentation Operability 1;
The effluent monitoring instrumentation shown in Tab la 12.2-1 shall be operable with alarm trip setpoints set to insure that the limits of Section 12.3.A are not exceeded. The alarm setpoints shall be determined in accordance with the ODCM.
: 2.      With a radioactive liquid effluent monitonng inetoment alarm / trip setpoint less conservative than required, without de!ay suspend the release of radioactive liquid effluents monitored by the affected instrument, or declare the instrument inoperable, or change the setpoint so it is acceptably conservative.
3      With one or more radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instruments inoperable, take the action shown in Table 12.2-1. Retum the instrument to operable status within 30 days and, if unsuccessful, explain in the next Radioactive Effluent Release Report why the inoperability was not corrected in a timely manner. This is in lieu of an LER.

This Section is'provided to ensure that the dose at the unrestricted area boundary from gaseous effluents from the units on site will be within the annual dose limits of 10CFK20 for unrestricted areas. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual in an unrestricted area to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 10CFR20.1001-2402. The release rate limits restrict, at all times,          l the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above backgttund to an individual at or beyond the unrestricted area coundary 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. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rr!.e above background via the    ,
inhalation pathway to less than cc equal to 1500 mremQear. For purposes of calculation i                        doses resulting from airbome releaset the main chinney is considered to be an elevated release point and the reactor t'uilding ver,t stack is .:onsidered to be a mixed m9de            ..

The dose calculations established in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents will be 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 1," 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, l

Revision 1, July 1977. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate limits for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form tsnd 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 limits were: 1)                    -
individual inhalation of abbome radionuclides,2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man and 3) deposition onto grassy            .
areas where milk animals graze with consumption of the milk by man.                            .
: 4.        Gaseous Waste Treatment The operability of the gaseous waste treatment which reduces amounts or concentrations of radioactive materials ensures that the system will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be operable when specified provides reasonable am urance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable".

: 3.      If the sample type or sampling location (s) as required by Table 12.5-1 become(s) permanently unavailable , identify suitable attemative sampling media for the pathway of interest and/or specific locations for obtaining replacement samples and add them to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program as soon as practicable. The specific locations from which samples were unavailable may then be deleted from the monitoring program.
Prepare and submit controlled version of the ODCM within 180 days including a revised figure (s) and table reflecting the new location (s) with supporting information identifying the cause of the unavailability of samples and justifying the selection of new location (s) for obtaining samples.
Surveillance Recuirements 12.5.1.B          The radiological environmental monitoring program samples shall be collected pursuant to Table 12.5-1 from the specific locations given in the table and figure (s) in the ODCM.and shall be analyzed pursuant to the recuirements of Table 12.5-1 and the detection capabilities required by Table 12.N.
Bases 12.5.1.C          The Radiologica! Environmental Monitoring Program required by this section provides representative measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the station operation. This monitoring program implements Section IV.B.2 of Appendix 1 to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the radiviogical 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 measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring.
The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first 3 years of commercial operation. Following this penod, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.
The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs required by Table 12.5-3 are considered optimum for routine environmental measuremt.ats in industrial laboratories.

TABLE 12.5-1 (Continued)
RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM TABLE NOTATIONS (1)      Specific parameters of distance and direction from the centerline of the midpoint of the              )
two units and additional descnption where pertinent, shall be provided for each and every sample locatien in Table 1.1-1 of the ODCM Station Annexes. Refer to NUREG-0133,
                        " Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants,"
October 1978, and to Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position, Revision 1, November 1979.
(2)      Far field samples are analyzed when the respective near field sample results are inconsistent with previous measurements cnd radioactivity is confirmed as having its origin in airbome effluents from the station, or at the discreticn of the Radiation Protection Director.
(3)      Airborne particulate sample filters shall be ana'yned for gross beta radioactivity 24 hours            ;
or more after sampling to allow for redon and thoron daughter decay, if gross beta                  'l activity in air particulate sampes is greater than 10 times the yearly mean of control ,,              1 samples, gamma isotopic analysis shall be performed on the individual samples.                        j (4)      Gamma isotopic analysis means the identification and quantification of gamma emitting radionuclides that may be attributable to the effluents from the station.
(5)      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. Film badges shall not be used as dosimeters for measuring diremt radiation.        '
The 40 locations is not an absolute number. The nurn'Jer of direct radiation monitonng O                    stations may be reduced according to geographicallimitations; e.g., if a station is adjacent to a lake,'some sectors may be over watsr thereby reducing the number of dosimeters whch could be placed et the indicated distances.' The frequency of analysis or readout for TLD systems will depend upon the characteristics 9f the specific system used and should be selected to obtain oWimum dose information with minimal fading.
(6)      Groundwater samples shall be taken when this source is tapped fo. drinking or irrigation purposes in areas where the hydraulic gradient or recharge properties are suitable for contamination.
(7)      The " downstream" sample shall be taken in an area beyond but near the mixing zone.
The " upstream sample" shall be taken at a distance beyond significant influence of the discharge. Upstream samples in an estuary must be taken far enough upstream to be
                                                                                                                          ~
beyond the station influence.
(8)      If milking animals are not found in the designated indicator locations, or if the owners decline to participate in the REMP, all milk sampling may be discontinued.
(g)      Biweekly refers to every two weeks.
(10)    1-131 analysis means the analytical separation and counting proceduro are specific for this radionuclide.
(11)    One sample shall consist of a volume / weight of sample large ertough to fill contractor specified container.

B = background sum (counts)
E = counting efficiency, (counts detected /disintegmtions) q = sample quantity,(mass or volume) b = abundance, (if applicable)
Y = frachonal rad;ed,wrui yield or collechon efficiency, (if applicable)                                        . :, .
t = count time (minutes) 2.22E06 = number of disintegrations per minute per rc,, Curie (2.71 + 4.65VB) = k2 + (2k V 2 4 B), and k = 1.645.
(k=value of the t statistic from the single-tailed t distribution at a significance level of 0.95% and infinite degrees of freedom. This means that the LLD result represents a 95% detection probability with a 5% probability of falsely concluding that the nuchde present when it is not or that the nuclide is not present when it is.)
Decay = e* [lRT/(1 e"))[AT,/(1-e**)], (if applicable)

The LLD may be determined using instal!ed radioanalytical software, if available. In addition to determining the correct numoer of channels over which to total the background sum, utilizing the software's ability to perform decay corrections (i.e. during sample collection, from sample collection to start of analysis and during coun'ung), this a!!emate method will result in a more accurate determination of the LLD.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a before the fact limit and not as an after the fact limit for a particular measurement.
(4)            If no drinking water pathway exists, the value of 15 pCill may be used.
(5)            A value of 0.5 pCl/l shall be used when the animals are on pasture (May through October) and a value of 5 pCl/l l
shall be used at all other times (November through April).                      .
(6)            This LLD applies only when the analytical separation and counting procedure are specific for this radionuclide.
(7)            This LLD is the minimum allowable, however, vendors performing environmental sample analyses off-site will be required to meet an LLD of 200 pCill.

10-7 In section 10.2.1.3 changed wording to reflect the fact that the Floor Drain Sample Tanks can be directly discharged into discharge canal.

In section 10.2.2.1 changed the wording from "The monitor is used to monitor all releases..." to "The monitor is used to monitor releases...".

Monitor operability requirements are given in ODCM Table 12.2-1, and there are allowances for discharges without a monitor c,perable.

In section 10.2.2.1 added wording about the other possible discharge pathways which could be monitored by liquid radwaste effluent monitor ,

prior to being discharged into the discharge canal.

10-13 Revised Figure 10-3 to show the presence of" portable waste treatment systems". Portable treatment systems have the flexibility to connect at various locations in the radwaste system for discharge to the river.

DRESDEN Revnion 2.0 March 1999 CHAPTER 10 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT TREATMENT AND MONITORING 10.1 AIRBORNE RELEASES 10.1.1 System Desenption

' A simplified gaseous radwaste and gaseous effluent flow diagram is provided for Dresden Unit 1 in Figure 10-1 and for Dresden Units 2 and 3 in Figure 10-2. Dresden 1 is no longer operational, but monitoring of potentially radioactive releases from the plant chimney continues Each airbome release point is classified as stack, vent, or ground level in accordance with the definitions in Section 4.1.4 and the results in Table A-1 of Appendix A. The principal relean points for potentially radioactive airbome effluents and their classifications are as follows: -

For Dresden 1, the plant chimney (a stack release point). -a For Dresden 2/3:

The ventilation chimney (a stack release point).

The reactor building ventilation stack (a vent release point).

10.1.1.1 Condenser Offgas Treatment System f The condenser offgas treatment system is designed and installed to reduce radioactive

. gaseous effluents by collecting non-condensable off-gases from the condenser and providing for holdup to reduce the total radioactivity by radiodecay prior to release to the environment. The daughter products are retained by charcoal and HEPA filters. The system is described in Section 11.3 of the Dresden UFSAR.

10.1.1.2 Ventilation Exhaust Treatment System I Ventilation exhaust treatment systems are designed and installed to reduce gaseous radioiodine or radioactive materialin particulate form in selected effluent streams by passing ventilation or vent exhaust gases through charcoal absorbers and/or HEPA filters prior to release to the environment. Such a system is not considered to have any effect on noble  ;

gas effluents. The ventilation exhau'st treatment systems are shown in Figures 10-1 and i 10 2.

Engineered safety features atmospheric cleanup systems are not considered to be ventilation exhaust treatment system components.

10.1.3.5 HVAC Flow Rates The HVAC exhaust flow rates are obtained from either the Units 2/3 process computers or the SPING control station. For the 2/3 Chimney, additional process flow rates must be added to obtain the total chimney flow (see Figure 10-2). Unit operation may affect actual flow rates which therefore may differ from values listed. If the actual flows are not available, the following default values based on design flow can be used:

Units 2/3 Chimney Air Flow 1.25E10 cc/ min Units 2/3 Combined Reactor Vent 6.23E9 cc/ min Unit 1 Chimney Air Flow 1.76E9 cc/ min 10.1.4 Allocation of Effluents from Common Release Points ]

i Radioactive gases, particulates, and iodines released from the Unit 1 chimney originate from Unit i only. However, radioactive gaseous effluents released from Units 2/3 are comprised of contnbutions from both units. Estimates of noble gas contributions from Units i 2 and 3 are allocated considering appropriate operating conditions and measured SJAE off- ]

gas activities. Allocation of radiciodine and radioactive particulate releases to Units 2 or 3 j specifically is not as practical and is influenced greatly by in.-plant leakage. Under normal j operating conditions, allocation is made using reactor coolant iodine activities. During unit j shutdowns or periods of known major in-plant leakage, the apportionment is adjusted I accordingly. The allocation of effluents is estimated on a monthly basis. ),

10.1.5 Dose Projections Because the gaseous releases are continuous, the doses are routinely ca!culated in '

accordance with the RETS.

10.2 LIQUID RELEASES j 10.2.1 System Description A simplified liquid radwaste and liquid effluent flow diagram is provided in Figure 10-3.

The liquid radwaste treatment system is designed and installed to reduce radioactive liquid effluents by collecting the liquids, providing for retention or holdup, and providing for treatment by evaporator, demineralizer, filter, and further vendor processing systems for the purpose of reducing the total radioactivity prior to reuse or release to the environment. The  ;

system is described in the Dresden UFSAR Section 11.2. j 10.2.1.1 Unit 1 Storage Tanks Liquid ra:"aactive effluents are not released from Unit 1 Storage tanks directly to the environment but are made through the Units 2/3 radwaste system.

10.2.1.2 Units 2/3 Waste Sample Tanks l

There are three waste sample tanks (33,000 gallons each) which receive water from the liquid waste treatment systern. These tanks are transferred to the waste surge tank for

DRESDEN Revision 2.0 March 1999 10.2.3.3 Release Limits Release limits are determined from 10CFR20. Calculated maximum permissible discharge rates are divided by 10 to ensure that applicable derived water concentrations (DWC) are not exceeded.

10.2.3.4 Release Mixture For the liquid radwaste effluent monitor, the release mixture used for the setpoint determination is the radionuclide mix identified in the grab sample isotopic analysis.

For all other liquid effluent monitors, no release mixture is used becmse the setpoint is established at "two times background."

10.2.3.5 Conversion Factors i ne readout for the liquid radwaste effluent monitor is in CPM. The calibration constant is based on the detector sensitivity to Co-60.

The readouts for the Units 2 & 3 service water effluent monitors are in Ci/ml. The calibration constar.ts are based on the detector sensitivity to Co-60. ~

10.2.3.6 Liquid Dilution Flow Rates The dilution flow is determined using the installed flowmeter in the discharge canal.

10.2.4 Allocation of Effluents from Common Release Points Radioactive liquid effluents released ~from the release tanks are comprised of O contributions from all three units. Under normal operating conditions, it is difficutt to apportion the radioactivity between the units. Consequently, allocation is normally made evenly between units 2 and 3.

10.2.5 Projected Doses for Releases Doses due to liquid effluents are calculated in accordance with the RETS.

10.3 SOLIDIFICATION OF WASTE / PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM The process control program (PCP) contains the sampling, analysis, and formulation {

determination by which solidification of radioactive wastes from liquid systems is ensured. j l

. 1. Gaseous Effluents. Dose l

This Section is'provided to ensure that the dose at the unrestricted area boundary from gaseous effluents from the units on site will be within the annual dose limits of 10CFK20 for unrestricted areas. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual in an unrestricted area to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 10CFR20.1001-2402. The release rate limits restrict, at all times, l the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above backgttund to an individual at or beyond the unrestricted area coundary 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. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rr!.e above background via the ,

inhalation pathway to less than cc equal to 1500 mremQear. For purposes of calculation i doses resulting from airbome releaset the main chinney is considered to be an elevated release point and the reactor t'uilding ver,t stack is .:onsidered to be a mixed m9de ..

release point. .

2. Dose. Noble Gases This Section is provided to implemen', the .equirements of Sections ll.B. lil.A and IV.A of Appendix 1,10 CFR Part 50. The 00errhility Requirements implement the guides set forth in Sechon 11.3 of Appendix 1. The statements provide the required operating flexibility i and at the same time implemerd the. guides set forth in Sechon IV.A of Appendix i to
assure that the releases of rat.cacieve material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low l l as is reasonably achievable." The surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section Ill.A of Appendip that conformance with the guides of Appendix I is to be shown by calculationai procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through the appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents will be 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 1," 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, l

July 1977. NUREG-0133 provides methods for dose calculations consistent with Regulatory Guides 1.109 and 1.111. .

3. Dose. Radiciodines. Radioactive Materialin Particulate Form and Radionuclides Other than Noble Gases This Section is provided to implement the requirements of Sections ll.C, Ill.A and IV.A of Appendix 1,10 CFR Part 50. The Operability Requirements are the guides set forth in Section ll.C of Appendix 1. The 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 release 6 of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable." The ODCM calculational methods specified in the surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section ill.A of Appendix l that conformance with the guides of Appendix ! 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 ODCM calculational methods approved "

by NRC for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are required to be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109. m,

" 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 1.111, " Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," ~

Revision 1, July 1977. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate limits for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form tsnd 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 limits were: 1) -

individual inhalation of abbome radionuclides,2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man and 3) deposition onto grassy .

areas where milk animals graze with consumption of the milk by man. .

4. Gaseous Waste Treatment The operability of the gaseous waste treatment which reduces amounts or concentrations of radioactive materials ensures that the system will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be operable when specified provides reasonable am urance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable". This specification implements the requirements or 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and design objective Section ll.D of Appendix 1 to 10 CFR Part 50. ,

samples goes out of business, a replacement supplier shall be found as soon as  ;

possible. All deviations from the sampling schedule will be described in the  !

Anm:al Radiological Environmental Operating Report.-

2. With the level of radioactivity as the result of plant effluents in an environmental sampling medium at a speci6ed locabon exceeding the reporting levels of Table 12.5-2 when averaged over any calendar quarter, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days, pursuant to Technical Speciiketion 6.9.B, a Special Report that identifies the cause(s) for exceeding the limit (s) and defines the corrective actions to be taken to reduce radioactive effluents so that the potential annual dose
  • to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is less than the calendar year limits of Section 12.3.A.2,12.4.A.2, or 12.4.A.3. When more than one of the radionuclides in Table 12.5-2 are detected in the sampling medium, this report shaP be submitted if:

DRESDEN Revtion 1.9 March 1999 12.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (Continued)

3. If the sample type or sampling location (s) as required by Table 12.5-1 become(s) permanently unavailable , identify suitable attemative sampling media for the pathway of interest and/or specific locations for obtaining replacement samples and add them to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program as soon as practicable. The specific locations from which samples were unavailable may then be deleted from the monitoring program.

Prepare and submit controlled version of the ODCM within 180 days including a revised figure (s) and table reflecting the new location (s) with supporting information identifying the cause of the unavailability of samples and justifying the selection of new location (s) for obtaining samples.

Surveillance Recuirements 12.5.1.B The radiological environmental monitoring program samples shall be collected pursuant to Table 12.5-1 from the specific locations given in the table and figure (s) in the ODCM.and shall be analyzed pursuant to the recuirements of Table 12.5-1 and the detection capabilities required by Table 12.N.

Bases 12.5.1.C The Radiologica! Environmental Monitoring Program required by this section provides representative measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the station operation. This monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix 1 to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the radiviogical 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 measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring.

The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first 3 years of commercial operation. Following this penod, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.

The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs required by Table 12.5-3 are considered optimum for routine environmental measuremt.ats in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a before the fact limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an after the fact limit for a particular measurement.

Detailed dbcussion of the LLD, and other detection limits, can be found in HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revised annually), Currie, LA., " Limits for Qualitative Detection and Quantitative Determination - Application to Radiochemistry," Anal. Chem.

TABLE 12.5-1 (Continued)

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM TABLE NOTATIONS (1) Specific parameters of distance and direction from the centerline of the midpoint of the )

two units and additional descnption where pertinent, shall be provided for each and every sample locatien in Table 1.1-1 of the ODCM Station Annexes. Refer to NUREG-0133,

" Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants,"

October 1978, and to Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position, Revision 1, November 1979.

(2) Far field samples are analyzed when the respective near field sample results are inconsistent with previous measurements cnd radioactivity is confirmed as having its origin in airbome effluents from the station, or at the discreticn of the Radiation Protection Director.

(3) Airborne particulate sample filters shall be ana'yned 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 redon and thoron daughter decay, if gross beta 'l activity in air particulate sampes is greater than 10 times the yearly mean of control ,, 1 samples, gamma isotopic analysis shall be performed on the individual samples. j (4) Gamma isotopic analysis means the identification and quantification of gamma emitting radionuclides that may be attributable to the effluents from the station.

(5) 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. Film badges shall not be used as dosimeters for measuring diremt radiation. '

The 40 locations is not an absolute number. The nurn'Jer of direct radiation monitonng O stations may be reduced according to geographicallimitations; e.g., if a station is adjacent to a lake,'some sectors may be over watsr thereby reducing the number of dosimeters whch could be placed et the indicated distances.' The frequency of analysis or readout for TLD systems will depend upon the characteristics 9f the specific system used and should be selected to obtain oWimum dose information with minimal fading.

(6) Groundwater samples shall be taken when this source is tapped fo. drinking or irrigation purposes in areas where the hydraulic gradient or recharge properties are suitable for contamination.

(7) The " downstream" sample shall be taken in an area beyond but near the mixing zone.

The " upstream sample" shall be taken at a distance beyond significant influence of the discharge. Upstream samples in an estuary must be taken far enough upstream to be

~

beyond the station influence.

(8) If milking animals are not found in the designated indicator locations, or if the owners decline to participate in the REMP, all milk sampling may be discontinued.

(g) Biweekly refers to every two weeks.

(10) 1-131 analysis means the analytical separation and counting proceduro are specific for this radionuclide.

(11) One sample shall consist of a volume / weight of sample large ertough to fill contractor specified container.

~

The LLD may be determined using instal!ed radioanalytical software, if available. In addition to determining the correct numoer of channels over which to total the background sum, utilizing the software's ability to perform decay corrections (i.e. during sample collection, from sample collection to start of analysis and during coun'ung), this a!!emate method will result in a more accurate determination of the LLD.

It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a before the fact limit and not as an after the fact limit for a particular measurement.

(4) If no drinking water pathway exists, the value of 15 pCill may be used.

(5) A value of 0.5 pCl/l shall be used when the animals are on pasture (May through October) and a value of 5 pCl/l l

shall be used at all other times (November through April). .

(6) This LLD applies only when the analytical separation and counting procedure are specific for this radionuclide.

(7) This LLD is the minimum allowable, however, vendors performing environmental sample analyses off-site will be required to meet an LLD of 200 pCill.

ADoiscability: At all times.

6gggn: *

1. With a Land Use Census identifying a location (s) that yields a calculated dose or dote commitment, via the same exposure pathway 20% greater than at a locabon from which samples are currently being obtained in accordance with Sechon 12.5.1, add the new locabon(s) within 30 days to the Radiological E:;vironmental Monitoring Program given in Chapter 11. The sampling location (s), excluding the control location, having the lowest calculated dose or dose C commitment (s), via the same exposure pathway, may be deleted from this monitoring program after October 31 of the year in which this Land Use Census was conducted. Submit in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report documentation for a change in thaODCM including a revised figure (s) and table (s) for the ODCM reflecting the new locahon(s) with information supporting the change in sampling locabons.
