INTRODUCTION The ODCM consists of the Controls Section followed by the Methodology Section. | |||
The Controls Section provides the Control Statements, Limits, ACTION Statements, Surveillance Requirements and BASES for ensuring that Radioactive Liquid and Gaseous Effluents released to UNRESTRICTED AREAS and/or the SITE BOUNDARY will be maintained within the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CFR 50.36.a and 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix-I radioactive release criteria. All Control Statements and most Administrative Control Statements in the ODCM are directly tied to and reference the Plant Technical Specification (TS) Administrative Section. The Administrative Control for Major Changes to Radioactive Liquid, Gaseous and Solid Treatment Systems is as per the guidance of NUREG-1301, April 1991, Supplement No. 1 to NRC Generic Letter 89-01. The numbering sequences of Control Statements also follow the guidance of NUREG-1301 as applicable, to minimize differences. | |||
The Methodology Section uses the models suggested by NUREG-0133, November, 1978 and Regulatory Guide 1.109 to provide calculation methods and parameters for determining results in compliance with the Controls Section of the ODCM. Simplifying assumptions have been applied where applicable to provide a more workable document for implementing the Control requirements. Alternate calculation methods may be used from those presented as long as the overall methodology does not change or as long as most up-to-date revisions of the Regulatory Guide 1.109 dose conversion factors and environmental transfer factors are substituted for those curry:ntIy included and used in this document. | |||
RECORDS AND NOTIFICATIONS All records of reviews performed for changes to the ODCM shall be maintained in accordance with Ql 17-PR/PSL-1. All FRG approved changes to the ODCM, with required documentation of the changes per TS 6.14, shall be submitted to the NRC in the Annual Effluent Release Report. Procedures that directly implement, administer or supplement the requirements of the ODCM Controls and Surveillances are: | |||

The description that follows is a brief summary for dose calculation purposes only). The St. Lucie Plant is located on an island surrounded on two sides by the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River, an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean. | ||
Private property adjoins the plant site in the north and south directions. A meteorological tower is located north of the plant near the site property line. There are 16 sectors, for dose calculation purposes, divided into 22.5'ach. The MET tower is calibrated such that a zero degree bearing coincides with TRUE NORTH. | |||
A bearing of zero degrees dissects the north sector such that bearings of 348.75'nd 11.25'efine the boundaries of the north sector. The nearest distance to private property occurs in the north sector at approximately 0.97 miles. For ease of calculation, this 0.97 mile radius is assumed in all directions, although the real Unrestricted Area Boundary is defined in Figure 5.1-1 of the TS. Doses calculated over water areas do not apply to Controls or the annual report and may be listed as O.W. (over water) in lieu of performing calculations. The 0.97 mile range in the NW sector is O.W., but it was chosen as the worst sector for conservative dose calculations using the historical MET data. | |||
Historical MET Data - MET data, between September 1, 1976 and August 31, 1978, from the St. Lucie MET Tower was analyzed by Dames 8 Moore of Washington, D.C. The methodology used by Dames 8 Moore was consistent with methods, suggested by Regulatory Guide 1.111, Revision 1. Recirculation correction factors were also calculated for the St. Lucie Site and are incorporated into the historical MET tables (Tables M5, M6 and M7) in Appendix A of this manual. It was determined that these two years are representative data for this locale. | |||
Dose Calculations - Dose calculations for Control dose limits are normally calculated using historical MET data and receptor location(s) which yield calculated doses no lower than the real location(s) experiencing the most exposure. Actual MET data factors are calculated and used in dose calculations for the annual reports. | |||
Live MET data and hour-by-hour dose calculations are beyond the scope of this manual. Historical information and conservative receptor locations, etc., are only used for ease of Control dose limit calculations. Dose calculations for Control dose limits may be performed using actual MET data and real receptor locations. Any dose calculations performed with actual data should note the source of the data in the annual report. Actual MET data reduction should be performed in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.111, Revision 1 and should incorporate Recirculation Correction Factors from Table M-4 of this manual. | |||

3. | Dose Calculations - (continued) | ||
Page | The St. Lucie site uses the long term ground release model for all gaseous effluents. Only those radionuclides that appear in the gaseous effluent dose factor tables will be considered in any dose calculations. Radioiodines are defined as Iodine-131 and I-133 for application to Controls. Other nuclides of Iodine may be included in dose calculations for ease of performing calculations, but their dose contribution does not have to be included in the Control requirements. Land Census information will apply to the calendar year following the year that the census was taken in to avoid splitting quarters, etc. | ||
The | 2.2 Determinin the Total Bod and Skin Dose Rates for Noble Gas Releases And Establishin Set pints for Effluent Monitors Discussion - Control 3.11.2.1 limits the dose rate from noble gases in airborne releases to <500 mrem/yr - total body and <3000 mrem/yr - skin. Control 3.3.3.11 requires that the gaseous radioactive effluent monitoring instrumentation be operable with alarm/trip setpoints set to ensure that these dose rate limits are not exceeded. The results of the sampling and analysis program of Control Table 4.11-2 are used to demonstrate compliance with these limits. | ||
The following calculation method is provided for determining the dose rates to the total body and skin from noble gases in airborne releases. The alarm/trip setpoints are based on the dose rate calculations. The Controls apply to all airborne releases on the site but all releases may be treated as if discharged from a single release point. Only those noble gases appearing in Table G-2 will be considered. | |||
The calculation methods are based on Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of NUREG-0133, November 1978. The equations are: | |||
For TOTAL BODY Dose Rate: | |||

This value may be used in conjunction with the total noble gas release rate (Q DOT),. to verify that the dose rate is within the allowable limits.

Also, the dose limit of 500 mrem/yr may be substituted for DR>>. Making these substitutions yields a single cumulative (or gross) noble gas release rate limit. This value is: | |||

Setpoint Determination To comply with Control 3.3.3.11, the alarm/trip setpoints are established to ensure that the noble gas releases do not exceed the value of 3.5 X which corresponds to a total body dose rate of 500 mrem/yr. The10'CI/sec, method that follows is a step-by-step procedure for establishing the setpoints. | |||

The total body dose is more limiting than the calculated skin dose. (Refer to Appendix C for a detailed evaluation.) Therefore, the skin dose rate calculations are not required if the simplified dose rate calculation is used (i.e., use of K, to determine release rate limits). | |||
The calculation process of the following Section (2.2.3) is to be used if actual releases of noble gases exceed the above limit of 3.5 X 10'Ci/sec. | |||

From an evaluation of the radioactive releases and environmental pathways, the grass-cow/goat-milk pathway has been identified as the most limiting pathway with the infant's thyroid being the critical organ. This pathway typically contributes >90% | |||
of the total dose received by the infant's thyroid and the radioiodine contribute essentially all of this dose. Therefore, it is possible to demonstrate compliance with the release rate limit of Control 3.11.2.1 for radioiodines and particulates by only evaluating the infant's thyroid dose for the release of radioiodines via the grass-cow/goat-milk pathway. The calculation method of Section 2.3.3 is used for this determination. If this limited analysis approach is used, the dose calculations for other radioactive particulate matter and other pathways need not be performed. | |||
Only the calculations of Section 2.3.3 for the radioiodines need be performed to demonstrate compliance with the Control dose rate limit. | |||
The calculations of Sections 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 may be omitted. The dose rate calculations as specified in these sections are included for completeness and are to be used only for evaluating unusual circumstances where releases of particulate materials other than radioiodines in airborne releases are abnormally high. The calculations of Sections 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 will typically be used to demonstrate compliance with the dose rate limit of Control 3.11.2.1 for radioiodines and particulates when the measured releases of particulate material (other than radioiodines and with half lives >8 days) are >10 times the measured releases of radioiodines. | |||

From an evaluation of past releases, a single effective gamma air dose factor (M,<<) | |||
has been derived, which is representative of the radionuclide abundances and corresponding dose contributions typical of past operation. (Refer to Appendix C for a detailed explanation and evaluation of M,). The value of M,has been derived from the radioactive noble gas effluents for the years 1978, 1979 and 1980. | |||
The value is mrad/Y~ | |||
M,= 7.4 X 10~ | |||
p,Cilm'his value may be used in conjunction with the total noble gas releases ( Q,) to simplify the dose evaluation and to verify that the cumulative gamma air dose is within the limits of Control 3.11.2.2. To allow for any unexpected variability in the radionuclide distribution, a conservatism factor of 0.8 is introduced into the calculation. The simplified equation is 0 317 X 10 ~ef! g/g j gI 0.8 For purposes of calculations, the appropriate meteorological dispersion (X/Q) from Table M-1 should be used. Control 3.11.2.2 requires that the doses be evaluated once per 31 days, (i.e., monthly). The quarterly dose limit is 5 mrads, which corresponds to a monthly allotment of 1.7 mrads. If the 1.7 mrads is substituted for Dy, a cumulative noble gas monthly release objective can be calculated. This value is 36,000 Ci/month, noble gases. | |||
As long as this value is not exceeded in any month, no additional calculations are needed to verify compliance with the quarterly noble gas release limits of Control 3.11.2.2. Also, the gamma air dose is more limiting than the beta air dose. | |||
Therefore, the beta air dose does not need to be calculated per Section 2.5 if the M ff dose factor is used to determine the gamma air dose. Refer to Appendix C for a detailed evaluation and explanation. | |||
The calculations of Section 2.5 may be omitted when this limited analysis approach is used, but should be performed if the radionuclide specific dose analysis is performed. Also, the radionuclide specific calculations will be performed for inclusion in annual reports. | |||

The beta air dose does not have to be evaluated if the noble gas gamma air dose is evaluated by the use of the effective gamma air dose factor (M,). However, if the nuclide specific dose calculation is used to evaluate compliance with the quarterly gamma air dose limits (Section 2.4), the beta air dose should also be evaluated as outlined below for the purpose of evaluating compliance with the quarterly beta air dose limits of Control 3.11.2.2. The following steps provide a detailed explanation of how the dose is calculated. | |||
: 1. To determine the applicable (X/Q) refer to Table M-1 to obtain the value for the type of dose calculation being performed (i.e., quarterly Control or Dose projection for examples). This value of (X/Q) applies to each nuclide (i). | |||

LUCIE PLANT CHEMISTRY OPERATING PROCEDURE C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM METHODOLOGY SECTION 2.6 Determinin the Radioiodine and Particulate Dose To An Or an From Cumulative Releases Discussion - Control 3.11.2.3 limits the dose to the whole body or any organ resulting from the release of l-131, l-133, tritium and particulates with half-lives >8 days to <7.5 mrem during any calendar quarter and <15 mrem during any calendar year. The following calculation method is provided for determining the critical organ dose due to releases of radioiodines and particulates and is based on Section 5.3.1 of NUREG-0133, November 1978. The equation can be used for any age group provided that the appropriate dose factors are used and the total dose reflects only those pathways that are applicable to the age group. The (X/Q)~ symbol represents a DEPLETED-(X/Q) which is different from the Noble Gas (X/Q) in that (X/Q)~ takes into account the loss of I88DP and H-3 from the plume as the semi-infinite cloud travels over a given distance. The (D/Q) dispersion factor represents the rate of fallout from the cloud that affects a square meter of ground at various distances from the site. The I88DP and H-3 notations refer to l-131, I-133 Particulates having half-lives >8 days and Tritium. For ease of calculations, dose from other Iodine nuclides may be included (see 2.1). Tritium calculations are always based on (X/Q)~. The first step is to calculate the l&8DP and H-3 dose for each pathway that applies to a given age group. The total dose to an organ can then be determined by summing the pathways that apply to the receptor in the sector. | |||

As discussed in Section 2.3, the grass-cow/goat-milk pathway has been identified as the most limiting pathway with the infant's thyroid being the critical organ. This pathway typically contributes >90% of the total dose received by the infant's thyroid and the radioiodine contributes essentially all of this dose. Therefore, it is possible to demonstrate compliance with the dose limit of Control 3.11.2.3 for radioiodines and particulates by only evaluating the infant's thyroid dose due to the release of radioiodines via the grass-cow/goat-milk pathway. The calculation method of Section 2.6.3 is used for this determination. | |||
The dose determined by Section 2.6.3 should be divided by a conservatism factor of 0.8. This added conservatism provides assurance that the dose determined by this limited analysis approach will not be < the dose that would be determined by evaluating all radionuclides and all pathways. If this limited analysis approach is used, the dose calculations for other radioactive particulate matter and other pathways need not be performed. Only the calculations of Section 2.6.3 for the radioiodines are required to demonstrate compliance with the Control dose limit. | |||
However, for the dose assessment included in Annual Reports, doses will be evaluated for the infant age groups and all organs via all designated pathways from radioiodines and particulates measured in the gaseous effluents according to the sampling and analyses required in Control Table 4.11-2. The following steps provide a detailed explanation of how the dose is calculated for the given pathways: | |||

INTRODUCTION The ODCM consists of the Controls Section followed by the Methodology Section.
The Controls Section provides the Control Statements, Limits, ACTION Statements, Surveillance Requirements and BASES for ensuring that Radioactive Liquid and Gaseous Effluents released to UNRESTRICTED AREAS and/or the SITE BOUNDARY will be maintained within the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CFR 50.36.a and 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix-I radioactive release criteria. All Control Statements and most Administrative Control Statements in the ODCM are directly tied to and reference the Plant Technical Specification (TS) Administrative Section. The Administrative Control for Major Changes to Radioactive Liquid, Gaseous and Solid Treatment Systems is as per the guidance of NUREG-1301, April 1991, Supplement No. 1 to NRC Generic Letter 89-01. The numbering sequences of Control Statements also follow the guidance of NUREG-1301 as applicable, to minimize differences.
The Methodology Section uses the models suggested by NUREG-0133, November, 1978 and Regulatory Guide 1.109 to provide calculation methods and parameters for determining results in compliance with the Controls Section of the ODCM. Simplifying assumptions have been applied where applicable to provide a more workable document for implementing the Control requirements. Alternate calculation methods may be used from those presented as long as the overall methodology does not change or as long as most up-to-date revisions of the Regulatory Guide 1.109 dose conversion factors and environmental transfer factors are substituted for those curry:ntIy included and used in this document.
RECORDS AND NOTIFICATIONS All records of reviews performed for changes to the ODCM shall be maintained in accordance with Ql 17-PR/PSL-1. All FRG approved changes to the ODCM, with required documentation of the changes per TS 6.14, shall be submitted to the NRC in the Annual Effluent Release Report. Procedures that directly implement, administer or supplement the requirements of the ODCM Controls and Surveillances are:
C-01 Schedule for Periodic Test C-02 Schedule for Test Calibrations C-70 Processing Aerated Liquid Waste C-72 Processing Gaseous Wastes The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is performed by the State of Florida as per FPL Juno Nuclear Operations Corporate Environmental Procedures.

This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in UNRESTRICTED AREAS will result in exposures within: (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC and (2) the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The concentration limit for dissolved or entrained noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its ECL in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.
This control applies to the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents from all units at the site.
The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in liquid waste samples are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). Detailed discussion of the LLD and other detection limits can be found in Currie, L.A., Lower Limit of Detection: Definition and Elaboration of a Proposed Position for Radiological Effluent and Environmental Measurements, NUREG/CR-4007 (September 1984) and in the HASL Procedures Manual, HAS L-300.

The Control impletnents the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibilityand at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept as low as is reasonably achievable. Also, for fresh water sites with drinking water supplies that can be potentially affected by plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radionuclide concentrations in the finished drinking water that are in excess of the requirements of 40 CFR Part 141.

The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentration of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column I. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC in an UNRESTRICTED AREA, either within or outside the SITE BOUNDARY, to an annual average concentration exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table 2 of 10 CFR Part 20 (Subpart D of 10 CFR Part 20). For MEMBERS OF THE. PUBLIC who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of that MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will usually be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the SITE BOUNDARY. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 mrems/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 rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrems/year.

These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate controls for Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium and radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days are dependent upon the existing radionuclide pathways to man in the areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. The pathways that were examined in the development of the calculations were: (1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, (2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, (3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man and (4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 8 kilometers must be considered. If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190.11 and Subpart M of 10 CFR Part 20, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The

This monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and 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 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, Revision 1, November 1979. The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first three years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.
The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs required by Table 4.12-1 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a ftostertort (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.
Detailed discussion of the LLD and other detection limits can be found in Currie, L. A.,

LUCIE PLANT CHEMISTRY OPERATING PROCEDURE C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM METHODOLOGY SECTION 1.1 Radioactive Li uid Effluent Model Assum tions The FUSAR contains the official description of the site characteristics. The description that follows is a brief summary for dose calculation purposes:
The St. Lucie Plant is located on an island surrounded on two sides by the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River, an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean.
Normally, all radioactive liquid releases enter the Atlantic Ocean where the Circulating Water Discharge Pipe terminates on the ocean floor at a point approximately 1200 feet offshore. No credit is taken for subsequent mixing of the discharge flume with the ocean. The diffusion of radioactive material into the ocean is dependent on the conditions of tide, wind and some eddy currents caused by the Gulf Stream. The conditions are sufficiently random enough to distribute the discharges over a wide area and no concentrating effects are assumed.
There are no direct discharge paths for liquid effluents to either of the north or south private property boundary lines. The Big Mud Creek (part of the Indian River) does connect to a normally locked shut dam, that is intended to provide an emergency supply of circulating water to the Intake Cooling Water Canal in the event a Hurricane causes blockage of the Intake Canal. No radioactive water could be discharged directly into the Intake Cooling Water Canal because all plant piping is routed to the discharge canal and no back flow can occur. Consult the FUSAR for a detailed description of characteristics of the water bodies surrounding the plant site.
Only those nuclides that appear in the Liquid Dose Factor Tables will be considered for dose calculation.

LUCIE PLANT CHEMISTRY OPERATING PROCEDURE C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM METHODOLOGY SECTION 1.2 Determinin the Fraction F of 10 CFR Part 20 ECLs Limits for A Li uid Release Source Discussion - Control 3.11.1.1 requires that the sampling and analysis results of liquid waste (prior to discharge) be used with calculation methods in the in-plant procedures to assure that the concentration of liquid radioactive material in the unrestricted areas will not exceed ten times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2. Chemistry Procedure C-70 "Processing Aerated Liquid Waste" provides instruction for ensuring batch release tanks will be sampled after adequate mixing. This section presents the calculation method to be used for this determination. This method only addresses the calculation for a specific release source. The in-plant procedures will provide instructions for determining that the summation of each release source's F values do not exceed the site's 10 CFR Part 20 ECL. The values for release rate, dilution rate, etc., will also have to be obtained from in-plant procedures. The basic equation is:
n R C, F~= Z D I 1 (ECL),
Where:
F the fraction of 10 CFR Part 20 ECL that would result if the release source was discharged under the conditions specified.
R The undiluted release rate in gpm of the release source.
Liquid Rad Waste = 170 gpm Steam Generator = 125 gpm/Steam Generator D The dilution flow in gpm of Intake Cooling Water or Circulating Water Pumps Intake Cooling flow is 14,500 gpm/pump Circulating Water flow is 121,000 gpm/pump C, The undiluted concentration of nuclide (i) in pCI/ml from sample assay (ECL),. The Effluent Concentration Limit of nuclide (i) in p,CI/ml from Table L-1 For dissolved or entrained noble gases the ECL value

is 2 X 10 Ij,CI/ml for the sum of all gases.
Page 80 of 182 ST. LUCIE PLANT CHEMISTRY OPERATING PROCEDURE C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM METHODOLOGY SECTION 1.2 (continued)
The fraction of the 10 CFR Part 20 ECL limit may be determined by a nuclide-by-nuclide evaluation or for purposes of simplifying the calculation by a cumulative activity evaluation. If the simplified method is used, the value of 3 X 10'CI/ml (unidentified ECL value) should be substituted for (ECL), and the cumulative concentration (sum of all identified radionuclide concentrations) or the gross concentration should be substituted for C, As long as the diluted concentration (C, R/D) is less than 3 X 10'CI/ml, the nuclide-by-nuclide calculation is not required to demonstrate compliance with the 10 CFR Part 20 ECL.
The following section provides a step-by-step procedure for determining the ECL fraction.
- 1. Calculation Process for Solids A. Obtain from the in-plant procedures, the release rate value (R) in gpm for the release source.
B. Obtain from the in-plant procedures, the dilution rate (D) in gpm. No credit is taken for any dilution beyond the discharge canal flow.
C. Obtain (C,), the undiluted assay value of nuclide (i), in pCi/ml. If the simplified methodis used, the cumulative concentration (Ct t I) is used.
D. From Table L-1, obtain the corresponding (ECL) for nuclide (i) in pCI/ml.
The value of 3 X 10~ pCi/ml should be used for the simplified method.
E. Divide C, by (ECL), and write down the quotient F. If the simplified method is used, proceed to the next step. If determining the ECL fraction by the nuclide-by-nuclide evaluation, repeat steps 1.2.1.C through 1.2.1.E for each nuclide reported in the assay, for H, from previous month composite and for SR89/90 and Fe55 from previous quarter composite.

n C,
Z 0 I 1 (ECL) i F= a unit-less value where:
the value of Fcould be < or >1. The purpose of the calculation is to determine what the initial value of F is for a given set of release conditions.
H. The Fvalue just obtained is for one release pathway. The TS and ODCM control 3.11.1.1 allow for a site limit of F less than or equal to 10.
Chemistry Procedure C-70 administratively controls each pathway's allocation. Compare your Fresult with the administrative control for the release pathway in C-70.
- 2. Calculation Process for Gases in Liquid A. Sum the p.Ci/ml of each noble gas activity reported in the release.

Gross cpm vs. total liquid activity curves are available for Liquid Effluent Monitors based on a composite of real release data. A direct correlation between gross cpm and the concentrations that would achieve 10 CFR Part 20 ECL levels in the discharge canal can be estimated. The 1978 liquid release data from annual reports was used to determine the average undiluted release concentration. These concentrations were then projected to a diluted concentration in the discharge canal assuming a 1 gpm release rate and a constant dilution flow of 121,000 gpm from 1 circ. water pump. This diluted activity was divided by the nuclide's respective 10 CFR Part 20 ECL value (Table L-1) to obtain the Mi column on the table that follows:

A, is the total average p,Ci/ml concentration of the reference mixture and M~ is the fraction of the MPC of all nuclides for the release conditions specified. Dividing A, by M, yields A~,, which is the maximum total activity concentration equivalent to the ECL limit for the nuclide distribution typical of radwaste dischaiges. The Technical Specifications allow 10 times the ECL limit where the Site Limit is 10 times A~,as follows:

0.34 pCilml = ECL Limit M7'ot 1.18 E-3 Site Limit = 10 x A~,= 10 x 0.34 = 3.4 pCi/ml To provide conservative administrative control, A~,of 0.34 pCi/ml should be used as follows:
- 1. If the effluent monitor requires counts per minute units, a (C,) value in cpm should be obtained for the A (0.34 p,Ci/ml) from the release sources radioactive liquid effluent monitor curve of cpm vs. pCi/ml.
NOTE This setpoint is for a specified release of 1 gpm into 121000 gpm dilution flow.
- 2. For establishing the setpoint prior to liquid radwaste discharges, the A, (or C ) will be adjusted as needed to account for actual release conditions (i.e., actual design maximum discharge flow rate, dilution flow rate and the contribution of dissolved and entrained Nobles Gas Activity to the Monitor Activity Level).
1.4 Determinin the Dose for Radioactive Li uid Releases Discussion - Control 3.11.1.2 requires calculations be performed at least once per 31 days to verify that cumulative radioactive liquid effluents do not cause a dose in excess of 1.5 mrem to the whole body and 5 mrem to any organ during any calendar quarter an'd not in excess of 3 mrem to the whole body and 10 mrem to any organ during any calendar year. This section presents calculational method to be used for this verification.
Page 85 of 182 ST. LUCIE PLANT CHEMISTRY OPERATING PROCEDURE C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM METHODOLOGY SECTION 1.4 (continued)
This method is based on the methodology suggested by sections 4.3 and 4.3.1 of NUREG-0133 Revision 1, November, 1978. The dose factors are a composite of both the fish and shellfish pathways so that the fish-shellfish pathway is the only pathway for which dose will be calculated. For St. Lucie Plant, the adult is the most limiting age group, but the dose for child and teenager can also be calculated by this method provided that their appropriate dose factors are available for the organ of interest. Only those nuclides that appear in the Tables of this manual will be considered.
- 1. This method provides for a dose calculation to the whole body or any organ for a given age group based on real release conditions during a specified time interval for radioactive liquid release sources. The equation is:

Based on the radionuclide distribution typical in radioactive effluents, the calculated doses to individuals are dominated by the radionuclides Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Nb-95, Cs-134 and Cs-137. These nuclides typically contribute over 95% of the whole body dose and over 90% of the Gl-LLI dose, which is the critical organ. Therefore, the dose commitment due to radioactivity in liquid effluents may be reasonably evaluated by limiting the dose calculation process to these radionuclides for the adult whole body and adult Gl-LLI. To allow for any unexpected variability in the radionuclide distribution, a conservatism factor of 0.6 is introduced into the equation. After calculating the dose based on these 7 nuclides, the cumulative dose should be divided by 0.6, the conservatism factor. (i.e., Dr = D,/0.6). Refer to Appendix B for a detailed evaluation and explanation of this limited analysis approach.
The methodology that follows is a step-by-step breakdown to calculate doses based on the above equation. Refer to the in-plant procedures to determine the applicable organs, age groups and pathway factors. If the limited analysis approach is used, the calculation should be limited to the Adult whole body dose and Adult Gl-LLI dose from the fish and shellfish pathways. Only the 7 previously specified radionuclides should be evaluated. For the dose calculations to be included in annual reports, the doses to the adult groups and all organs should be evaluated for all radionuclides identified in the liquid effluents.

G. Sum the Dose (i) values to obtain the total dose to organ T from the fish-shellfish pathway. If the limited analysis method is being used, divide the cumulative dose by a conservatism factor of 0.6 to account for any unexpected variability in radionuclide distribution 1.5 Pro'ectin Dose for Radioactive Li uid Effluents Discussion - Control 3.11.1.3 requires that appropriate subsystems of the liquid radwaste treatment system be used to reduce radioactive material in liquid effluents when the projected doses due to the liquid effluent, from each unit, to UNRESTRICTED AREAS (see TS Figure 5.1-1) would exceed 0.06 mrem to the whole body or 0.2 mrem to any organ in a 31 day period. The following calculation method is provided for performing this dose projection. The method is based on dose as calculated in section 1.4 with the adult as the bases for projecting.
Obtain the latest result of the monthly calculation of the adult whole body dose and the adult's highest organ dose. These doses can be obtained from the in-plant records.

- 3. Multiply the quotient of each dose by the number of days the reactor plant is projected to be operational during the next month. The products are the projected dose for the next month. These values should be adjusted as needed to account for any changes in failed fuel or other identifiable operating conditions that could significantly alter the actual releases.
- 4. If the projected dose is greater than 0.06 mrem to the whole body or greater than 0.2 mrem to the adults highest exposed organ, the liquid radwaste system shall be used.

Page 91 of 182 ST. LUCIE PLANT CHEMISTRY OPERATING PROCEDURE C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM METHODOLOGY SECTION Gaseous Effluent Model Assum tions Descri tion of Site - (The FUSAR contains the official description of the site characteristics. The description that follows is a brief summary for dose calculation purposes only). The St. Lucie Plant is located on an island surrounded on two sides by the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River, an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean.
Private property adjoins the plant site in the north and south directions. A meteorological tower is located north of the plant near the site property line. There are 16 sectors, for dose calculation purposes, divided into 22.5'ach. The MET tower is calibrated such that a zero degree bearing coincides with TRUE NORTH.
A bearing of zero degrees dissects the north sector such that bearings of 348.75'nd 11.25'efine the boundaries of the north sector. The nearest distance to private property occurs in the north sector at approximately 0.97 miles. For ease of calculation, this 0.97 mile radius is assumed in all directions, although the real Unrestricted Area Boundary is defined in Figure 5.1-1 of the TS. Doses calculated over water areas do not apply to Controls or the annual report and may be listed as O.W. (over water) in lieu of performing calculations. The 0.97 mile range in the NW sector is O.W., but it was chosen as the worst sector for conservative dose calculations using the historical MET data.
Historical MET Data - MET data, between September 1, 1976 and August 31, 1978, from the St. Lucie MET Tower was analyzed by Dames 8 Moore of Washington, D.C. The methodology used by Dames 8 Moore was consistent with methods, suggested by Regulatory Guide 1.111, Revision 1. Recirculation correction factors were also calculated for the St. Lucie Site and are incorporated into the historical MET tables (Tables M5, M6 and M7) in Appendix A of this manual. It was determined that these two years are representative data for this locale.
Dose Calculations - Dose calculations for Control dose limits are normally calculated using historical MET data and receptor location(s) which yield calculated doses no lower than the real location(s) experiencing the most exposure. Actual MET data factors are calculated and used in dose calculations for the annual reports.
Live MET data and hour-by-hour dose calculations are beyond the scope of this manual. Historical information and conservative receptor locations, etc., are only used for ease of Control dose limit calculations. Dose calculations for Control dose limits may be performed using actual MET data and real receptor locations. Any dose calculations performed with actual data should note the source of the data in the annual report. Actual MET data reduction should be performed in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.111, Revision 1 and should incorporate Recirculation Correction Factors from Table M-4 of this manual.

Dose Calculations - (continued)
The St. Lucie site uses the long term ground release model for all gaseous effluents. Only those radionuclides that appear in the gaseous effluent dose factor tables will be considered in any dose calculations. Radioiodines are defined as Iodine-131 and I-133 for application to Controls. Other nuclides of Iodine may be included in dose calculations for ease of performing calculations, but their dose contribution does not have to be included in the Control requirements. Land Census information will apply to the calendar year following the year that the census was taken in to avoid splitting quarters, etc.
2.2 Determinin the Total Bod and Skin Dose Rates for Noble Gas Releases And Establishin Set pints for Effluent Monitors Discussion - Control 3.11.2.1 limits the dose rate from noble gases in airborne releases to <500 mrem/yr - total body and <3000 mrem/yr - skin. Control 3.3.3.11 requires that the gaseous radioactive effluent monitoring instrumentation be operable with alarm/trip setpoints set to ensure that these dose rate limits are not exceeded. The results of the sampling and analysis program of Control Table 4.11-2 are used to demonstrate compliance with these limits.
The following calculation method is provided for determining the dose rates to the total body and skin from noble gases in airborne releases. The alarm/trip setpoints are based on the dose rate calculations. The Controls apply to all airborne releases on the site but all releases may be treated as if discharged from a single release point. Only those noble gases appearing in Table G-2 will be considered.
The calculation methods are based on Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of NUREG-0133, November 1978. The equations are:
For TOTAL BODY Dose Rate:

- 1. Simplified Total Body Dose Rate Calculation From an evaluation of past releases, an effective total body dose factor (K,)
can be derived. This dose factor is in effect a weighted average total body dose factor, i.e., weighted by the radionuclide distribution typical of past operation. (Refer to Appendix C for a detailed explanation and evaluation of K,). The value of K,has been derived from the radioactive noble gas effluents for the years 1978, 1979 and 1980. The value is:
68 /10, mrem-m',Ci-yr
Page 94 of 182 ST. LUCIE PLANT CHEMISTRY OPERATING PROCEDURE C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM METHODOLOGY SECTION 2.2 (continued)
- 1. (continued)
This value may be used in conjunction with the total noble gas release rate (Q DOT),. to verify that the dose rate is within the allowable limits. To allow for any unexpected variability in the radionuclide distribution, a conservatism factor of 0.8 is introduced into the calculation. The simplified equation is:
DRTB = '"
j (Q DOT).I

08 To further simplify the determination, the historical annual average meteorological X/Q of 1.6 X 10'ec/m'From Table M-1) may be substituted into the equation. Also, the dose limit of 500 mrem/yr may be substituted for DR>>. Making these substitutions yields a single cumulative (or gross) noble gas release rate limit. This value is:
Noble gas release rate limit = 3.5 X 10'CI/sec As long as the noble gas release rates do not exceed this value (3.5 X no additional dose rate calculations are needed to verify compliance 10'Ci/sec),
with Control 3.11.2.1.

- 2. Setpoint Determination To comply with Control 3.3.3.11, the alarm/trip setpoints are established to ensure that the noble gas releases do not exceed the value of 3.5 X which corresponds to a total body dose rate of 500 mrem/yr. The10'CI/sec, method that follows is a step-by-step procedure for establishing the setpoints.
To allow for multiple sources of releases from different or common release points, the allowable operating setpoints will be controlled administratively by allocating a percentage of the total allowable release to each of the release sources.
A. Determine (V) the maximum volume release rate potential from the in-plant procedures for the release source under consideration. The units of (V) are ft'/min.

The total body dose is more limiting than the calculated skin dose. (Refer to Appendix C for a detailed evaluation.) Therefore, the skin dose rate calculations are not required if the simplified dose rate calculation is used (i.e., use of K, to determine release rate limits).
The calculation process of the following Section (2.2.3) is to be used if actual releases of noble gases exceed the above limit of 3.5 X 10'Ci/sec.
Under these conditions, a nuclide-by-nuclide evaluation is required to evaluate compliance with the dose rate limits of Control 3.11.2.1.
- 3. Total Body and Skin Nuclide Specific Dose Rate Calculations The following outline provides a step-by-step explanation of how the total body dose rate is calculated on a nuclide-by-nuclide basis to evaluate compliance with Control 3.11.2.1. This method is only used if the actual releases exceed the value of 3.5 X 10'Ci/sec.

From an evaluation of the radioactive releases and environmental pathways, the grass-cow/goat-milk pathway has been identified as the most limiting pathway with the infant's thyroid being the critical organ. This pathway typically contributes >90%
of the total dose received by the infant's thyroid and the radioiodine contribute essentially all of this dose. Therefore, it is possible to demonstrate compliance with the release rate limit of Control 3.11.2.1 for radioiodines and particulates by only evaluating the infant's thyroid dose for the release of radioiodines via the grass-cow/goat-milk pathway. The calculation method of Section 2.3.3 is used for this determination. If this limited analysis approach is used, the dose calculations for other radioactive particulate matter and other pathways need not be performed.
Only the calculations of Section 2.3.3 for the radioiodines need be performed to demonstrate compliance with the Control dose rate limit.
The calculations of Sections 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 may be omitted. The dose rate calculations as specified in these sections are included for completeness and are to be used only for evaluating unusual circumstances where releases of particulate materials other than radioiodines in airborne releases are abnormally high. The calculations of Sections 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 will typically be used to demonstrate compliance with the dose rate limit of Control 3.11.2.1 for radioiodines and particulates when the measured releases of particulate material (other than radioiodines and with half lives >8 days) are >10 times the measured releases of radioiodines.

2.4 Determinin the Gamma Air Dose for Radioactive Noble Gas Release Source s Discussion - Control 3.11.2.2 limits the air dose due to noble gases in gaseous effluents for gamma radiation to <5 mrads for the quarter and to <10 mrads in any calendar year. The following calculation method is provided for determining the noble gas gamma air dose and is based on section 5.3.1 of NUREG-0133, November 1978. The dose calculation is independent of any age group. The equation may be used for Control dose calculation, the dose calculation for the annual report or for projecting dose, provided that the appropriate value of (X/Q) is used as outlined in the detailed explanation that follows.

From an evaluation of past releases, a single effective gamma air dose factor (M,<<)
has been derived, which is representative of the radionuclide abundances and corresponding dose contributions typical of past operation. (Refer to Appendix C for a detailed explanation and evaluation of M,). The value of M,has been derived from the radioactive noble gas effluents for the years 1978, 1979 and 1980.
The value is mrad/Y~
M,= 7.4 X 10~
p,Cilm'his value may be used in conjunction with the total noble gas releases ( Q,) to simplify the dose evaluation and to verify that the cumulative gamma air dose is within the limits of Control 3.11.2.2. To allow for any unexpected variability in the radionuclide distribution, a conservatism factor of 0.8 is introduced into the calculation. The simplified equation is 0 317 X 10 ~ef! g/g j gI 0.8 For purposes of calculations, the appropriate meteorological dispersion (X/Q) from Table M-1 should be used. Control 3.11.2.2 requires that the doses be evaluated once per 31 days, (i.e., monthly). The quarterly dose limit is 5 mrads, which corresponds to a monthly allotment of 1.7 mrads. If the 1.7 mrads is substituted for Dy, a cumulative noble gas monthly release objective can be calculated. This value is 36,000 Ci/month, noble gases.
As long as this value is not exceeded in any month, no additional calculations are needed to verify compliance with the quarterly noble gas release limits of Control 3.11.2.2. Also, the gamma air dose is more limiting than the beta air dose.
Therefore, the beta air dose does not need to be calculated per Section 2.5 if the M ff dose factor is used to determine the gamma air dose. Refer to Appendix C for a detailed evaluation and explanation.
The calculations of Section 2.5 may be omitted when this limited analysis approach is used, but should be performed if the radionuclide specific dose analysis is performed. Also, the radionuclide specific calculations will be performed for inclusion in annual reports.

The following steps provide a detailed explanation of how the radionuclide specific dose is calculated. This method is used to evaluate quarterly doses in accordance with Control 3.11.2.2 if the releases of noble gases during any month of the quarter exceed 36,000 Ci.

Using this method only requires that steps 2.4.2 through 2.4.5 be performed one time, remembering that the dose must be divided by 0.8, the conservatism factor.
- 7. Refer to in-plant procedures for comparing the calculated dose to any applicable limits that might apply.

The beta air dose does not have to be evaluated if the noble gas gamma air dose is evaluated by the use of the effective gamma air dose factor (M,). However, if the nuclide specific dose calculation is used to evaluate compliance with the quarterly gamma air dose limits (Section 2.4), the beta air dose should also be evaluated as outlined below for the purpose of evaluating compliance with the quarterly beta air dose limits of Control 3.11.2.2. The following steps provide a detailed explanation of how the dose is calculated.
- 1. To determine the applicable (X/Q) refer to Table M-1 to obtain the value for the type of dose calculation being performed (i.e., quarterly Control or Dose projection for examples). This value of (X/Q) applies to each nuclide (i).

LUCIE PLANT CHEMISTRY OPERATING PROCEDURE C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM METHODOLOGY SECTION 2.6 Determinin the Radioiodine and Particulate Dose To An Or an From Cumulative Releases Discussion - Control 3.11.2.3 limits the dose to the whole body or any organ resulting from the release of l-131, l-133, tritium and particulates with half-lives >8 days to <7.5 mrem during any calendar quarter and <15 mrem during any calendar year. The following calculation method is provided for determining the critical organ dose due to releases of radioiodines and particulates and is based on Section 5.3.1 of NUREG-0133, November 1978. The equation can be used for any age group provided that the appropriate dose factors are used and the total dose reflects only those pathways that are applicable to the age group. The (X/Q)~ symbol represents a DEPLETED-(X/Q) which is different from the Noble Gas (X/Q) in that (X/Q)~ takes into account the loss of I88DP and H-3 from the plume as the semi-infinite cloud travels over a given distance. The (D/Q) dispersion factor represents the rate of fallout from the cloud that affects a square meter of ground at various distances from the site. The I88DP and H-3 notations refer to l-131, I-133 Particulates having half-lives >8 days and Tritium. For ease of calculations, dose from other Iodine nuclides may be included (see 2.1). Tritium calculations are always based on (X/Q)~. The first step is to calculate the l&8DP and H-3 dose for each pathway that applies to a given age group. The total dose to an organ can then be determined by summing the pathways that apply to the receptor in the sector.

As discussed in Section 2.3, the grass-cow/goat-milk pathway has been identified as the most limiting pathway with the infant's thyroid being the critical organ. This pathway typically contributes >90% of the total dose received by the infant's thyroid and the radioiodine contributes essentially all of this dose. Therefore, it is possible to demonstrate compliance with the dose limit of Control 3.11.2.3 for radioiodines and particulates by only evaluating the infant's thyroid dose due to the release of radioiodines via the grass-cow/goat-milk pathway. The calculation method of Section 2.6.3 is used for this determination.
The dose determined by Section 2.6.3 should be divided by a conservatism factor of 0.8. This added conservatism provides assurance that the dose determined by this limited analysis approach will not be < the dose that would be determined by evaluating all radionuclides and all pathways. If this limited analysis approach is used, the dose calculations for other radioactive particulate matter and other pathways need not be performed. Only the calculations of Section 2.6.3 for the radioiodines are required to demonstrate compliance with the Control dose limit.
However, for the dose assessment included in Annual Reports, doses will be evaluated for the infant age groups and all organs via all designated pathways from radioiodines and particulates measured in the gaseous effluents according to the sampling and analyses required in Control Table 4.11-2. The following steps provide a detailed explanation of how the dose is calculated for the given pathways:

The following approach should be used to demonstrate compliance with these dose limits. This approach is based on NUREG-0133, Section 3.8.
3.1 Evaluation Bases Dose evaluations to demonstrate compliance with the above dose limits need
'only be performed if the quarterly doses calculated in Sections 1.4, 2.4 and 2.6 exceed twice the dose limits of Controls 3.11 1.2.a, 3.11.1.2.b, 3.11.2.2a,

Otherwise, no evaluations are required and the remainder of this section can be omitted.
3.2 Doses From Li uid Releases For the evaluation of doses to real individuals from liquid releases, the same calculation method as employed in Section 1.4 will be used. However, more realistic assumptions will be made concerning the dilution and ingestion of fish and shellfish by individuals who live and fish in the area. Also, the results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring program will be included in determining more realistic dose to these real people by providing data on actual measured levels of plant related radionuclides in the environment.
3.3 Doses From Atmos heric Releases For the evaluation of doses to real individuals from the atmospheric releases, the same calculation methods as employed in Section 2.4 and 2.6 will be used.
In Section 2.4, the total body dose factor (K,.) should be substituted for the gamma air dose factor (M.,) to determine the total body dose. Otherwise the same calculation sequence applies. However, more realistic assumptions will be made concerning the actual location of real individuals, the meteorological conditions and the consumption of food (e.g., milk). Data obtained from the latest land use census (Control 3.12.2) should be used to determine locations for evaluating doses. Also, the results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring program will be included in determining more realistic doses to these real people by providing data on actual measured levels of radioactivity
,and radiation at locations of interest.

LUCIE PLANT CHEMISTRY OPERATING PROCEDURE C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM METHODOLOGY SECTION 4.0 Annual Radioactive Effluent Re ort Discussion - The information contained in a annual report shall not apply to any Control. The reported values are based on actual release conditions instead of historical conditions that the Control dose calculations are based on. The Control dose limits are therefore included in item 1 of the report, for information only. The ECLs in item 2 of the report shall be those listed in Tables L-1 and G-1 of this manual. The average energy in item 3 of the report is not applicable to the St. Lucie Plant. The format, order of nuclides and any values shown as an example in Tables 3.3 through 3.8 are samples only. Other formats are acceptable if they contain equivalent information. A table of contents should also accompany the report. The following format should be used:

- 4. Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity:
A summary of liquid effluent accounting methods is described in Table 3.1.
A summary of gaseous effluent accounting methods is described in Table 3.2.
Estimate of Errors:
LIQUID GASEOUS Error Topic Avg. % Max. % Avg. % Max. %

Page 167 of 182 ST. LUCIE PLANT CHEMISTRY OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM APPENDIX B LIMITED ANALYSIS DOSE ASSESSMENT FOR LIQUID RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS The radioactive liquid effluents for the years 1978, 1979 and 1980 were evaluated to determine the dose contribution of the radionuclide distribution. This analysis was performed to evaluate the use of a limited dose analysis for determining environmental doses. Limiting the dose calculation to a few selected radionuclides that contribute the majority of the dose provides a simplified method of determining compliance with the dose limits of Control 3.11.1.2.
Tables B-1 and B-2 present the results of this evaluation. Table B-1 presents the fraction of the adult whole body dose contributed by the major radionuclides. Table B-2 presents the same data for the adult Gl-LLI dose. The adult whole body and adult Gl-LLI were determined to be the limiting doses based on an evaluation of all age groups (adult, teenager, child and infant) and all organs (bone, liver, kidney, lung and Gl-LLI). As the data in the tables show, the radionuclides Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Cs-134 and Cs-137 dominate the whole body dose; the radionuclides, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65 and Nb-95 dominate the Gl-LLI dose. In all but one case (1979-fish, Gl-LLI dose) these radionuclides contribute 90% or more of the total dose. If for 1979 the fish and shellfish pathways are combined as is done to determine the total dose, the contribution from these nuclides is 84%" of the total Gl-LLI dose.
Therefore, the dose commitment due to radioactive material in liquid effluents can be reasonably estimated by limiting the 9ose calculation to the radionuclides, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Nb-95, Cs-134 and Cs-137, which cumulatively contribute the majority of the total dose calculated by using all radionuclides detected. This limited analysis dose assessment method is a simplified calculation that provides a reasonable evaluation of doses due to liquid radioactive effluents and allows for an estimate of Fe-55 contribution to dose.
Tritium is not included in the limited analysis dose assessment for liquid releases because the potential dose resulting from normal reactor releases is negligible and is essentially independent of radwaste system operation. The amount of tritium releases annually is about 300 curies. At St. Lucie, 300 Ci/yr released to the Atlantic Ocean produces a calculated whole body dose of 5 X 10'rem/yr via the fish and shellfish pathways. This amounts to less than 0.001% of the design objective dose of 3 mrem/yr.
Furthermore, the release. of tritium is a function of operating time and power level and is essentially unrelated to radwaste system operation.
The dose due to Iron -55 made it necessary to change the conservatism factor from 0.8 to 0.6, which was done on Revision 7 to the ODCM, based on early 1986 data.

C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM APPENBIX C TECHNICAL BASES FOR EFFECTIVE DOSE FACTORS Overview The evaluation of doses due to releases of radioactive material to the atmosphere can be simplified by the use of effective dose transfer factors instead of using dose factors which are radionuclide specific. These effective factors, which are based on the typical radionuclide distribution in the releases, can be applied to the total radioactivity released to approximate the dose in the environment, i.e,, instead of having to sum the isotopic distribution multiplied by the isotope specific dose factor only a single multiplication (K,,
M,<<or N,) times the total quantity of radioactive material released would be needed.
This approach provides a reasonable estimate of the actual dose while eliminating the need for a detailed calculational technique.
Determination of Effective Dose Factors The effective dose transfer factors are based on past operating data. The radioactive effluent distribution for the past years can be used to derive single effective factors by the following equations:
Where:
Kett the effective total body dose factor due to gamma emissions from all noble gases released the total body dose factor due to gamma emissions from each noble gas radionuclide i released the fractional abundance of noble gas radionuclide i is of the total noble gas radionuclides

To determine the appropriate effective factors to be used and to evaluate the degree of variability, the atmospheric radioactive effluents for the past 3 years have been evaluated. Tables C-1 and C-2 present the results of this evaluation.
As can be seen from Tables C-1 and C-2, the effective dose transfer factors varies. little from year to year. The maximum observed variability from the average value is 18%.
This variability is minor considering other areas of uncertainty and conservatism inherent in the environmental dose calculation models.
To provide an additional degree of conservatism, a factor of 0.8 is introduced into the dose calculation process when the effective dose transfer factor is used. This added conservatism provides additional assurance that the evaluation of doses by the use of a single effective factor will not significantly underestimate any actual doses in the environment.
Reevaluation The doses due to the gaseous effluents are evaluated by the more detailed calculation methods (i.e., use of nuclide 'pecific dose factors) on a yearly basis. At this time a comparison can be made between tne simplified method and the detailed method to assure the overall reasonableness of this limited analysis approach. If this comparison indicates that the radionuclide distribution has changed significantly causing the simplified method to underestimate the doses by more than 20%, the value of the effective factors will need to be reexamined to assure the overall acceptability of this approach. However, this reexamination will only be needed if the doses as calculated by the detailed analysis exceed 50% of the design bases doses (i.e., greater than 5 mrads gamma air dose or 10 mrads beta air dose).
In any case, the appropriateness of the A,value will be periodically evaluated to assume the applicability of a single effective dose factor for evaluating environmental doses.

C-200, REVISION 18 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL ODCM APPENDIX D TECHNICAL BASES FOR ELIMINATINGCURIE INVENTORY LIMIT fOR GASEOUS WASTE STORAGE TANKS The NRC Standard Technical Specifications include a limit for the amount of radioactivity that can be stored in a single waste gas storage tank. This curie inventory limit is established to assure that in the event of a tank failure releasing the radioactivity to the environment the resulting total body dose at the site boundary would not exceed 0.5 rem.
For St. Lucie, the inventory limit in the waste gas storage tank has been determined to be approximately 285,000 curies (Xe-133, equivalent) An allowable primary coolant
~
radioactivity concentration is established by the Appendix A Technical Specifications which limits the primary coolant radioactivity concentrations to 100/E with E being the average energy of the radioactivity in Mev. This equation yields an upper primary coolant gross activity limit of about 160 pCi/ml. By applying this activity concentration limit to the total liquid volume of the primary system, a total activity limit can be determined. For St. Lucie the primary system volume is about 70,000 gallons, which yields a limiting total inventory of approximately 43,000 Ci ~
By assuming a typical radionuclide distribution an equivalent Xe-133 inventory can be determined. Table D-1 provides the typical radionuclide (noble gases) distribution and the Xe-133 equivalent concentration. The equivalent concentration is determined by multiplying the radionuclide concentration by the ratio of the nuclide total body dose factor to the Xe-133 total body dose factor. Summing all the individual radionuclide equivalent concentrations provides the overall reactor coolant Xe-133 equivalent concentration. The data show that the equivalent concentration is a factor of 2 larger than the gross concentration (i.e., 24 pCi/gm total versus 47 pCi/gm equivalent). The resulting Xe-133 equivalent curie inventory of the reactor coolant system is approximately 86,000 Ci.
Therefore, even if the total primary system at the maximum Tech. Spec. allowable concentration was degassed to a single. waste gas decay tank, the tank curie inventory would be well below the 285,000 Ci limit. Based on this evaluation, the curie inventory limit on a single waste gas storage tank cannot exceed the Technical Specification requirement.
