must satisfy the following equation: Equation (1): cf<C F+f Where: C the effluent concentration which implements the 10 CFR 20 limit for unrestricted areas, in uCi/ml.c=the setpoint of the radioactivity monitor measuring the radioactivity concentration in the discharge line prior to dilution and subsequent release, in uCi/ml.f=the flow as meas'ured at the radiation monitor location, in volume per unit time, in the same units as F below.F~the dilution water flow as determined prior to the release point, in volume per unit time.Liquid effluent batch releases from Ginna Station are discharged through a liquid waste disposal monitor.The liquid waste stream (f)is diluted (by F)in the plant discharge canal before it enters Lake Ontario.The limiting batch release concentration (c)corresponding to the liquid waste monitor setpoint is calculated from the above ex-pression.Since the value of (f)is very small in comparison to, (F), the expression becomes: Equation (2): c<CF f Where: C=the maximum permissible concentration of gross beta, gamma activity above background in the circulating water discharge at the unrestricted area boundary (1 x 10 7 uCi/ml).F the dilution flow assuming operation.

~l'%I~rQ TZ.Gaseous Effluent Monitor Set pints The Ginna Technical Specifications (reference 1)require alarm ,and/or trip setpoints for specified radiation monitors on each'noble gas effluent line.Precautions, limitations and setpoints applicable.to the operation of Ginna Station gaseous effluent monitors are provided in plant procedures P-9 and RD-13.1.Setpoints are conservatively established for each ventilation noble gas monitor so that dose rates in unrestricted areas corresponding to 10 CFR Part 20 limits will not be exceeded.Setpoints shall be determined so that dose rates from releases of noble gases will comply with the Technical Specification require-mentsof 3.9.2.1.a(i), which'stipulate that the dose, rate for noble gases shall be<500 mrem/yr to the total body and<3000 mrem/yr to the skin.The calculated alarm and trip action setpoints for each radioactive gaseous effluent monitor must satisfy the following equation: Equation (3).: c<~iv f'k'K Where: c~setpoint in cpm Qiv=release rate limit by specific nuclide in uCi/sec f~discharge flow rate in cfm k units conversion factor (cc/sec/cfm)
I K=calibration factor (uCi/cc/cpm)
The general methodology for establishing plant ventilation monitor setpoints is based upon a vent concentration limit (in uCi/cc)derived from site specific meteorology and vent release characteristics.
Additional radiation monitor alarm and/or trip setpoints are calculated for radiation monitors measuring radioiodines, radio-active materials in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases.Setpoints are determined to assure that dose rates from the release of these effluents shall comply with Technical Specification 3.9.2.l.a(ii), which requires that the dose rate for all radioiodines, radioactive materials in particulate form, and radionuclides other than noble gases with half-lives greater than 8 days shall be<1500 mrem/yr to any organ.The release rate limit for noble gases shall be calculated by the following equation for total body dose:
Equation (4): Qiv (uCi/sec)Equation (5): 500 mrem r Ki (mrem/yr per uCi/m)~275v (sec/m)'and by the following equation for skin doses: Qiv (uCi/sec)Where: 3000 mrem r (Li+1.1Mi)(mrem/yr per uCi/m)~~X Qv (sec/m)Ki The total body dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide, (in mrem/yr per uCi/m)from Table 2.Li The skin dose factor due to beta emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide, (in mrem/yr per uCi/m)from Table 2.Mi The air dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide, (in mrad/yr per uCi/m)from Table 2 (unit conversion constant of 1.1 mrem/mrad converts air dose to skin dose).X/Qv The highest calculated annual average dispersion parameter for estimating the dose to the critical offsite, receptor from vent release point (v)(in sec/m).The~X Qv is calculated by the method described in Reg.Guide 1.111 (reference 6).Qiv The release rate of radionuclide (i)from vent (v)which results in a dose rate of 500 mrem/yr to the whole body or 3000 mrem/yr to the skin of the critical receptor, (in uci/sec).Historically, xenon-133 is the principal noble gas released from all vents and is appropriate for use*as the reference isotope for establishing monitor setpoints.
The whole body dose will be limiting, and the Xe-133 release rate limit is calculated by substituting the appropriate values in equation (4)'.After the release rate limit for Xe-133 is determined for each vent, the corresponding vent concentration limits are calculated based on applicable vent flow rates.Annually-derived monitor calibration factors (uCi/cc per cpm)convert limiting vent concentrations to count rate.
Containment Plant.Vent and Air E ector Noble Gas Monitors Monitors R-12 R-14 and R-15 Monitor R-12 measures noble gas activity in containment when it is isolated, or in the containment vent during purge releases.Noble gases being released via the plant vent are detected by R-14;Monitor R-15, on the air e)ector, normally indicates only background noble gas activity;however it serves as one of the f irst indicators o f primary-to-secondary leakage.1 Additional noble gas monitoring capability'or the containment, plant and air e)ector vents is provided'y high-range effluent monitors R-12A, R-14A and R-15A, respectively.
J Noble gas monitor setpoints are conservatively set in Procedure P-9 to correspond to fractions of the applicable 10 CFR 20 maximum permissibleconcentrations (MPCs)for unrestricted areas.Fractions are small enough to assure the timely detection of any simultaneous discharges from multiple'elease points before the combined downwind site boundary concentration could exceed MPC.Additional conservatism is provided by basing these setpoints upon instantaneous downwind concentrations.
Release rates during the remainder of a given year, combined with any infrequent releases at setpoint levels, are likely to result in only a very small fraction of the 10 CFR 20 annual limits.~Eam le: (Plant vent monitor R-14).Using Xe-.133 as the controlling isotope for the setpoint and assuming a measured activity at 2.66E>>4 uCi/cc, a ratemeter reading of 4750 cpm above background and a vent flow of 7.45 E4 cfm.Xe-133 efficiency

Additional monthly and quarterly composite analyses are to be performed as specified in Table 4.12-1 of the Ginna Technical Specifications.

ZV.Li id Effluent Dose The dose contribution received by the maximally exposed individual from the ingestion of Lake Ontario'fish and drinking water is determined using the following methodology.
These calculations will assume a near field dilution factor of 1.0 in evaluating the fish pathway dose, and a dilution factor of 20 between the plant discharge and the Ontario Water District drinking water intake located 1.1 miles away (Figure 4)..The dilution factor of 20 was derived from drift and dispersion studies documented in reference 4.Dose contributions from shoreline recreation, boating and swimming have been shown to be negligible in the Appendix I dose analysis (reference 5)and do not need to be routinely evaluated.
Also, there is no known human consumption of shellfish from Lake Ontario.The dose contribution to an individual will be determined to ensure that it complie's with the Technical Specification require-ments of 3.9.1.2.a(i) and 3.9.1,2.a(ii).
The dose or dose commitment to an individual from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released to unrestricted areas shall be limited: (i)During any calendar quarter to<1.5 mrem to the total body and to<5 mrem to any organ, and, (ii)During any calendar year to<3 mrem to the total body and to<10 mrem to any organ.Offsite receptor doses will be determined for the limiting age group and organ, unless census data show that~actua of f site individuals are of a less limiting age group.'he following expression is used to calculate ingestion pathway dose contributions for the total release period~tj 1 from all radionuclides identified in liquid effluents released to unrestricted areas: Equation (6): D<Z[A~p~tj Cij Fj]1 where: D<~the cumulative dose commitment to the total body or any organ, z, from the liquid effluents for the total time period (in mrem).m&tj f 1~tj=the length of the jth time period over, which Ciq and Fj are averaged for all liquid releases, (in hours).10 Ci)Ai<the, average concentration of radionuclide,.i, in undiluted liquid effluent during time period~t~from any liquid release, (in uCi/ml).the.site-related ingestion dose commitment factor to the total body or any organ'C for each identified ,principal gamma and beta emitter (in mrem/hr per uCi/ml).See equation (7)~F)the discharge canal dilution factor for Ci during any liquid effluent release.Defined as the ratio of the maximum undiluted liquid waste flow during release to the average flow from the site discharge structure to unrestricted

This equipment is to be utilized to reduce radioactive discharges from nuclear plants to levels"as low as reasonably achievable" or ALARA.ALARA levels warranting equipment operabil-ity have been defined by the NRC in the form of monthly dose"trigger" values.The trigger values, which are provided below, correspond to approximately 1/48 of the annual design objective doses given by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I.If continued at this rate, these monthly doses would correspond to just under 1/4 of the Appendix I annual design objectives.

~Exam le: Assume a case where plant modifications were underway on the waste evaporator and demineralizer piping, and a reduction of the liquid waste volume contained in the waste holdup tank (WHUT)was needed.Assuming no other means of treatment were readily available, WHUT liquid (untreated) might be transferred to the waste condensate tanks, sampled and then discharged on a controlled basis.
In this case, assume also that a decision was made to proceed this way at the beginning of a given month, knowing that the waste evaporator and other portions of the liquid radwaste treatment system would be unavailable for the next 45 days.The followin method would be used to determine the need or a 30-da re ort: 2~3~4~5~6.Using existing plant procedures, sample the concentration contained in the WHUT (Ci~).Decide a sample frequency (e.g.1/day)since the tank concentration could change.Determine the permissible release rate to maintain the concentration in the discharge canal well within the appli-cable maximum permissible concentration (e.g.1/100-1/10 MPC)for the mixture.(The discharge canal concentration is equal to Ci~F~).Calculate the incremental dose from all identified isotopes via the drinking water and fish ingestion pathways for each receptor group.The critical receptor will probably be the child.Assume the release will be continuous and that doses will be evaluated each day, corresponding to the WHUT sampling frequency.(We thus compute D using Equations 6 and 7, taking~t~as the duration of each release;in this case, 24 hr/day.)The offsite receptor dose due to a control'led discharge of the WHUT contents is thus determined and cumulated over each daily release time interval.If the WHUT isotopic mixture and the discharge canal dilution factory Fgg are relatively constant, then each day's dose increment should be approxi-mately the same.One can then estimate the number of release days it will take to reach the applicable dose trigger value.The 30-day reporting requirement applies if a radwaste'reatment system is inoperable
~a dose trigger values are exceeded.In the example, one reporting criterion is already met, since the treatment.systems will be out of service for more than 31 days.If we determine that the liquid pathway dose does not exceed the trigger values.in 31 days or less, then a 30-day report is not required.However, if a liquid pathway dose attains a trigger.level within 31 days, then a report submittal would be required.In the last case, it would be prudent to avoid a situation requiring the 30-day report.First, a trigger level dose, when added to the calculated doses resulting from all other liquid release sources (e.g: high conductivity waste tank, blowdown, retention tank), may significantly impact upon the plant's"dose budget" for the calendar quarter or the calendar year.Also, more realistically, other treatment options would likely be available at the plant and could be utilized.15 GIHNA STATIOH LIQUID WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEH FIGURE 1 ENT RESIN STORAGE TANKS REACTOR COOLAHT D IH NK CONTAIHHEHT SUHP"h" CHEHICAL DRAIN TANK LAUHORY 4 llOT SHOWER TANKS S/G BLOMDOMH VAHK DRAIN AUX.4 INTEiNEDIATE BLDG.DRAIHS BLOWDOWN SAHPLE LIHE r-.--OHONITOR R-19 I RECYCLE S/G BLOWDOWH LINQ TO llOTWELL~HIXEO BEO DI'WASTE IlOLDUP TANK ASTE EVAPORATO llIGll ONOUCTIVITY WASTE TANK HONITOR R-22-grCIRCULATING WATER DISCllARGE

~g4~'l~IX.Pre aration of S ecial Re ort to Demonstrate Com liance with Environmental Radiation protection Standards/Ginna Technical Specification 3.9.a requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report to the Commission when calculated effluent release doses exceed twice the limits of Specifications 3.9.1.2.a, 3.9.2.2.a or 3.9.2.2.b.
In addition, subsequent releases are to be*limited so that the dose or dose commitment to a real individual from all uranium fuel cycle sources is limited to<25 mrem to the total body or any organ (except the thyroid, which is limited to<75 mrem)for the calendar year that includes.the release(s) in the Special Report.This includes the dose contributions from the calendar quarter in which the limits were exceeded and the subsequent calendar quarters within the current calendar year.I The following general guidelines are presented for preparation of the Special Report: 1)The maximally exposed real member of the public will generally be the same individual considered in the Technical Specifi-cation.2)Dose contributions to the maximally exposed individual need only be considered to be those resulting from the Ginna plant itself.All other uranium fuel cycle facilities or operations are of sufficient distance to contribute a negligible portion of the individual's dose.3)For determining the total dose to the maximally exposed in".ividual from the ma)or gaseous and liquid effluent pa'hways and from direct radihtion, dose evaluation techniques used in preparing the Special Report may be those described in this manual or other applicable methods where appropriate.
4)The contribution from direct radiation may be estimated by effluent dispersion modelling or calculated from the results of the environmental monitoring program for direct radiation.
