DEFINITIONS REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM RESPONSE TIME 1.26 The REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM RESPONSE TIME shall be the time interval from when the monitored parameter exceeds its trip setpoint at the channel sensor until electrical power is interrupted to the CEA drive mechanism.

ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURE RESPONSE TIME 1.27 The ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURE RESPONSE TIME shall be that time interval from when the monitored parameter exceeds its ESF actuation setpoint at the channel sensor until the ESF equipment is capable of performing its safety function (i.e., the valves travel to their required positions, pump discharge pressures reach their required values, etc.).Times shall include diesel.generator starting and sequence loading delays where applicable.

This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and the design objective given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste treatment system were-specified as a suitable fraction of.the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I,, 10 CFR Part 50, for liouid effluents'.

3/4.11.2 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS~3/4.11.2.1 DOSE RATE This specification is provided to ensure that the dose at any time at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 to UNRESTRICTED AREAS.The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 1.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, tc annual average concentra-, tions exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table II of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR Part 20.106(b)).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 mrems/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.

The Surveillance Requirements implemen the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that, conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a HEHBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated.

The dose calculation methodolooy and paran>eters established in the ODCH for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents are consistent with the methodology provided i n Regulatory Guide 1.109,"Calcula-tion of Annual Doses to Han from Routine Releases o>Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," March, 1976 and Regulatory Guide l.111,"Methods tor Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Peleases from Light-Mater Cooled.Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977.The ODCH equations provided for determining the air doses at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions or real atmospheric conditions.

The release rate specifications 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 these 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 consump ion of the milk and meat by man, and (4)deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man..This specification applies to the release of gaseous effluents from each reactor't the site,'or units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the gaseous effluents from the shared system are proportioned among the units sharing that system.3/4.11.2.4 GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT The OPERABILITY of the.GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM and the VEHTILATIOH EXHAUST TREATMEHT SYSTEM ensures that the systems will be-available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment.

If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requi rements 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), i n accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190.11 and 10 CFR Part 20.405c, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until HRC staff action is completed.

The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR'Part 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Specifica-tions 3.11.1.1 and 3."1.2.1.An individual is rot considered a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation that is part of the nuclear fuel cycle.ST.LUCIE-UNIT.I B 3/4 11-5 Amendment No.

E i' 3/<"2 RADIOLOG r CAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITOR T NG BASES 3/4.12.1 MONITORING PROGRAM The radiological environmental monitoring program reouired by this specification provides representative measurements of radiation and of radio-active 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'to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitorino program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher'l an expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first 3 years of commercial operation.

Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.

The required detection capabilities ior 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 i<<<<:>ii i i par ti cul ar measurement.
