The computer program MIDAS (Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System) performs the calculation of doses from effluent releases.
The site-specific parameters associated with MIDAS reside in the following subprograms:
- MIDER 0 MIDEX* MIDEL* MIDEG* MIDEN b. The subprogram used to enter and edit gaseous release data is called MD1EQ (EQ). The data entered in EQ can be used to calculate the accumulation of dose to individual land based receptors based on hourly meteorology and release data. The air dose from this data is calculated via the XDAIR subprogram in MIDAS. It computes air dose results for use in Reg. Guide 1.21 reports and 10 CFR 50 Appendix I calculations based on routine releases.c. The formula used for the calculation of the air dose is generated from site specific parameters and Reg.

The dose due to gaseous releases, other than the air dose, is calculated by the MIDAS subprogram GASPRO. GASPRO computes the accumulation of dose to individual receptors based on hourly meteorology and release data. Calculations consider the effect of each important radionuclide for each pathway, organ, age group, distance and direction.
Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 I Rev. 22 Page 8 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL f. Calculations are based on the environmental pathways-to-man models in Reg. Guide 1.109. The program considers 7 pathways, 8 organs, and 4 age groups in 16 direction sectors. The distances used are taken from the MIDEG file.g. The formulas used for the following calculations are generated from site specific parameters and Reg. Guide 1.109: 1.

See Attachment 3.1, Dose Factors for Various Pathways, for the maximum Ri values for the most controlling age group for selected radionuclides.
R values were generated by computer code PARTS, see NUREG-0133, Appendix D.W = the annual average or real time atmospheric dispersion parameters for estimating doses to an individual at the worst case location, and where W is further defined as: Wi -- X / Q for the inhalation pathway, in sec/m 3-OR-Wfg = D /Q for the food and ground pathways in 1/mn 2 Qic = the release rate of those radioiodines, radioactive materials in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases with half-lives greater than eight days, in uCi/yr h. This calculation is made for each pathway. The maximum computed dose at any receptor for each pathway is selected.
These are summed together to get the dose to compare to the limits. Only the maximum of the cow milk or goat milk pathway (not both) is included in the total.
Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 Rev. 22 Page 10 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL In addition to the above routines, the QUICKG routine of the MIDAS system is used to provide data used in the monthly reports due to its ability to use annual average meteorological data rather than real time data, thus shortening the run time involved.j. Steam Generator Blowdown System (Start Up Flash Tank Vent)1. The amount of radioiodine and other radionuclides that are released via the start up flash tank and its vent are calculated through actual sample results while the start up flash tank is in service.2. The following calculation is performed to determine the amount of curies released through this pathway. (Plant established formula.)Curies = Ci

Chemistry Department performs the sampling and analysis of the samples.4. This data is provided to the MIDAS computer and dose calculations (liquid and gas) are performed to ensure compliance with Subsection 3.2, Limits of Operation and Surveillances of the Effluent Release Points, dose limits. MIDAS uses the formulas given in step 3.1.2, Liquid Effluent Releases, to calculate doses to members of the public.NOTE: This section provides the minimum requirements to be followed at Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant. This would be used if actual sample data was not available each time the start up flash tank was in service.5. The radioiodine release rate must be determined in accordance with the following equation every 31 day period whenever the specific activity of the secondary coolant system is greater than 0.01 ItCi/g dose equivalent 1-131.

Use the calculated release rate in monthly dose projections until the next determination to ensure compliance with Subsection 3.2, Limits of Operation and Surveillances of the Effluent Release Points, dose limits. Report the release rate calculations in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.3.1.2 Liquid Effluent Releases a. The calculation of doses from liquid effluent releases is also performed by the MIDAS program. The subprogram used to enter and edit liquid release data is called MD1EB (EB).b. To calculate the individual dose (mrem), the program DS1LI (LD) is used. It computes the individual dose for up to 5 receptors for 14 liquid pathways due to release of radioactive liquid effluents.
The pathways can be selected using the MIDEL program and changing the values in parameter
- 1. D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant uses 3 pathways:
potable water, shoreline, and aquatic foods (fresh water sport fishing).c. Steam Generators are sparged, sampled, and drained as batches usually early in outages to facilitate cooldown for entry into the steam generator.
This is typically repeated prior to startup to improve steam generator chemistry for the startup. The sample stream, if being routed to the operating unit blowdown, is classified as a continuous release for quantification purposes to maintain uniformity with this defined pathway.

This will provide a large reduction in liquid curies of tritium released to the environment, as there is approximately 40 curies of tritium released with every monitor tank of NBAE distillate.
Drainage of high conductivity water (Component Cooling Water and ice melt water containing sodium tetraborate) shall be evaluated to decide whether it should be drained to waste (small volumes only), the Turbine Room Sump (low activity water only) or routed without demineralization processing to a monitor tank for release.-, This is necessary in order to minimize the detrimental affect that high conductivity water has on the radioactive wastewater demineralization system. The standard concentration and volume equation can be utilized to determine the impact on each method and is given here. The units for concentration and volume need to be consistent across the equation: (C)V)+ (Co)(WI) ='(CQ(V,)Where;Ci = the initial concentration of the system being added to Vi = the initial volume of the system being added to Ca = the concentration of the water that is being added to the system Va = the volume of the water that is being added to the system Ct = the final concentration of the system after the addition Vt = the final volume of the system after the addition The intent is to keep the:* WDS below 500 Vinmhos/cc.

The specification requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses from plant radioactive effluents exceed twice the design objective doses of Appendix I. For sites containing up to 4 reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a member of the public will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR 190 if the individual reactors remain within the reporting requirement level. The Special Report will describe a course of action, which should result in the limitations of dose to a member of the public for 12 consecutive months to within the 40 CFR 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to any 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 5 miles must be considered.
If the dose to any member of the public is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR 190 have not already been corrected, in accordance with the provision of 40 CFR 190.11), is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR 190 until NRC staff action is completed.

The setpoints' are used in conjunction with sampling programs to assure that the releases are kept within the limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2.Establish setpoints for liquid and gaseous monitors.
Depending on the monitor function, it would be a continuous or batch monitor. The different types of monitors are subject to different setpoint methodologies.
One variable used in setpoint calculations is the multiple release point (MRP) factor.The MRP is a factor used such that when all the releases are integrated, the applicable LIMIT value will not be exceeded.
The MRP is determined such that the sum of the MRP's for that effluent type (liquid or gaseous) is less than or equal to 1. The value of the MRP is arbitrary, and it should be assigned based on operational performance.
The values of the MRP's for each liquid release point are given in Attachment 3.8, Multiple Release Point Factors for Release Points.The Site stance on instrument uncertainty is taken from HPPOS-223, Consideration of Measurement Uncertainty When Measuring Radiation Levels Approaching Regulatory Limits, which states the NRC position is the result of a valid measurement obtained by a method, which provides a reasonable demonstration of compliance.
This value should be accepted and the uncertainty in that measured value need not be considered.

A schematic of the liquid effluent release systems is shown as Attachment 3.9, Liquid Effluent Release Systems. A list of the Plant Liquid Effluent Parameters is in Attachment 3.10, Plant Liquid Effluent Parameters.
The details of each system design and operation can be found in the system descriptions.
The setpoints are intended to keep releases within the limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. Determine setpoints using either the batch or the continuous methodology.
- a. Liquid Batch Monitor Setpoint Methodology
- 1. There is only one monitor used on the Waste Disposal System for liquid batch releases.
This monitor is identified as RRS-1000.
Steam Generator Blowdown radiation monitors also can be used to monitor batch releases while draining steam generators.
The function of these monitors is to act as a check on the sampling program. The sampling program determines the nuclides and concentrations of those nuclides prior to release. The discharge and dilution flow rates are then adjusted to keep the release within the limits of 10 CFR 20. Based on the concentrations of nuclides in the release, the count rate on the monitor can be predicted.
The high alarm setpoint can then be set above the predicted value up.to the maximum setpoint of the system.2. The radioactive concentration of each batch of radioactive liquid waste to be discharged is determined prior to each release by sampling and analysis in accordance with Attachment 3.6, Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program.3. The allowable release flow rates are determined in order to keep the release concentrations within the requirements of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. The equation to calculate the flow rate is from Addendum AA1 of NUREG-0133:
L Ci LMT f _<F+f LIMTTi M ARP Where;Ci = the concentration of nuclide "i" in .tCi/ml LIMIT = the 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 limit of nuclide "i" in p.Ci/ml f = the effluent flow rate in gpm (Attachment 3.10, Plant Liquid Effluent Parameters)
F = the dilution water flow rate as estimated prior to release.The dilution flow rate is a multiple of 230,000 gpm depending on the number of circulation pumps in operation.
Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 Rev. 22 Page 28 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL MRP = the multiple release point factor. A factor such that when all the release points are operating at one time the limits of 10 CFR 20 will not be exceeded.4. This equation must be true during the batch release. Before the release is started, substitute the maximum effluent flow rate and the minimum dilution flow rate for f and F, respectively.
If the equation is true, the release can proceed with those flow rates as the limits of operation.
If the equation is not true, the effluent flow rate can be reduced or the dilution flow rate can be increased to make the equation true. This equation may be rearranged to solve for the maximum effluent release flow rate (f).5. The setpoint is used as a quality check on the sampling program.The setpoint is used to stop the effluent flow when the monitor reading is greater than the predicted value from the sampling program. The predicted value is generated by converting the effluent concentration for each gamma emitting radionuclide to counts per unit of time as per Attachment 3.11, Volumetric Detection Efficiencies for Principle Gamma Emitting Radionuclides for Eberline Liquid Monitors, or Attachment 3.12, Counting Efficiency Curves for R-19, and R-24ý The sum of all the counts per unit of time is the predicted.
count rate. The predicted count rate can then be multiplied by a factor to determine the high alarm setpoint that will provide a high degree of conservatism and eliminate spurious alarms.b. Liquid Continuous Monitor Setpoint Methodology
- 1. There are eight monitors used as potential continuous liquid release monitors.
These monitors are used in the steam generator blowdown (SGBD), blowdown treatment (BDT), and essential service water (ESW) systems.2. These Westinghouse monitors (R) are being replaced by Eberline monitors (DRS) and are identified as:* R-19 or DRS 3100/4100 for SGBD° R-24 or DRS 3200/4200 for BDT The function of these monitors is to assure that releases are kept within the concentration limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, entering the unrestricted area following dilution.
Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 I Rev. 22 Page 29 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 3. The monitors on steam generator blowdown and blowdown treatment systems have trip functions associated with their setpoints.
Essential service water monitors are equipped with an alarm function only and monitor effluent in the event the Containment Spray Heat Exchangers are used.4. The equation used to determine the setpoint for continuous monitors is from Addendum AA1 of NUREG-0133:
S C*Eff *MRP*F*SF f Where;Sp = setpoint of monitor (cpm)C = 5E-7 pCi/ml, maximum effluent control limit from 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 of a known possible nuclide in effluent stream.

The MRP for ESW monitors is set to 1.F = dilution water (circ water) flow rate in gpm obtained from Attachment 3.10, Plant Liquid Effluent Parameters.
For routine operation, the setpoint should be calculated using the minimum dilution flow rate of 230,000 gpm.SF = Safety Factor, 0.9.f = applicable effluent release flow rate in gpm. For routine operation, the setpoint should be calculated using maximum effluent flow rate (Attachment 3.10, Plant Liquid Effluent Parameters).
3.3.2 Gaseous
Monitors For the purpose of implementing Step 3.2.2, Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation, and Substep 3.2.4a, Dose Rate, the alarm setpoints for gaseous effluents released into unrestricted areas will be established using the following methodology.
In addition, the above steps do not apply to instantaneous alarm and trip setpoints for integrating radiation monitors sampling radioiodines, radioactive materials in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases. A schematic of the gaseous effluent release systems is presented in Attachment 3.14, Gaseous Effluent Release Systems. Attachment 3.15, Plant Gaseous Effluent Parameters, presents the effluent flow rate parameter(s)..
Gaseous effluent monitor high alarm setpoints will routinely be established at a fraction of the maximum allowable setpoint (typically 10% of the setpoint) for ALARA purposes.
Alert alarms will normally be set to provide adequate indications of small changes in radiological conditions.
NOTE: IF the setpoint calculation methodology changes or the associated factors change for Unit Vent, Air Ejector and/or Gland Seal monitors, THEN initiate a review by Emergency Planning to ensure that the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54 (q) are maintained.
- a. Plant Unit Vent Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 I Rev. 22 Page 31 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 1 The gaseous effluents discharged from the plant vent will be monitored by the plant vent radiation monitor low range noble gas channel [Tag No. VRS-1505 (Unit 1), VRS-2505 (Unit 2)] to assure that applicable alarms and trip actions (isolation of gaseous release)will occur prior to exceeding the limits in step 3.2.4, Gaseous Effluents.
The alarm setpoint values will be established using the following unit analysis equation: SF
- DLj Sp = _Fp */Q* r (Wi* DCF.)Where;Sp = the maximum setpoint of the monitor in laCi/cc for release point p, based on the most limiting organ SF = an administrative operation safety factor, less than 1.0 MRP = a weighted multiple release point factor (_< 1.0), such that when all site gaseous releases are integrated, the applicable dose will not be exceeded based on the release rate of each effluent point. The MRP is an arbitrary value based on the ratio of the release rate or the volumetric flow rate of each effluent point to the total respective flow rate value of the plant and will be consistent with past operational experience.
The MRP is computed as follows:* Compute the average release rate, Qp, (or the volumetric flow rate, fQ) from each release point p.* Compute XQp (or Xfp) for all release points.0 Ratio Qp/EQp (or fp/>lfp) for each release point..This ratio is the MRP for that specific release point 0 Repeat the above bullets for each of the site's eight gaseous release points.Fp the maximum volumetric flow rate of release point "p", at the time of the release, in cc/sec. The maximum Unit Vent flow rate, by design, is 186,600 cfm for Unit 1 and 143,400 cfm for Unit 2.DLj = dose rate limit to organ "j" in an unrestricted area (mrem/yr).
Based on continuous releases, the dose rate limits, DLo, from step 3.2.4a, Dose Rate, are as follows: " Total Body < 500 mrem/year" Skin < 3000 mrem/year" Any Organ< 1500 mrem/year Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 I Rev. 22 Page 32 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL* / Q = The worst case annual average relative concentration in the applicable sector or area, in sec/m 3 (see Attachment 3.16, 10 Year Average of 1995-2004 Data).Wi = weighted factor for the radionuclide:-Ci ZC, Where, Ci = concentration of the most abundant radionuclide "i" Ck = total concentration of all identified radionuclides in that release pathway. For batch releases, this value may be set to 1 for conservatism.
DCFij dose conversion factor used to relate radiation dose to organ "j", from exposure to radionuclide "i" in mrem in 3./ yr piCi. See following equations.
The dose conversion factor, DCFij, is dependent upon the organ of concern.For the whole body: DCF 1 j = I Where;Ki = whole body dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide in mrem m 3 / yr ýiCi. See Attachment 3.18, Dose Factors.For the skin: DCFij = L + 1.1MI Where;Li skin dose factor due to beta emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide, in mrem m 3 / yr ýtCi. See Attachment 3.18, Dose Factors.1.1 the ratio of tissue to air absorption coefficient over the energy range of photons* of interest.
This ratio converts absorbed dose (mrad) to dose equivalent (mrem).
Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 I Rev. 22 Page 33 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Mi = the air dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide in mrad m 3 / yr ptCi. See Attachment 3.18, Dose Factors.For the thyroid, via inhalation:
DCFij = Pi Where;Pi = the dose parameter, for radionuclides other than noble gas, for the inhalation pathway in mrem m 3 / yr ptCi (and the food and ground path, as appropriate).
See Attachment 3.18, Dose Factors.2. The plant vent radiation monitor low range noble gas high alarm channel setpoint, Sp, will be set such that the dose rate in unrestricted areas to the whole body, skin and thyroid (or any other organ), whichever is most limiting, will be less than or equal to 500 mrem/yr, 3000 mrem/yr, and 1500 mrem/yr respectively.
- 3. The thyroid dose is limited to the inhalation pathway only.4. The plant vent radiation monitor low range noble gas setpoint, Sp, will be recomputed whenever gaseous releases like Containment Purge, Gas Decay Tanks and CVCS HUTs are discharged through the plant vent to determine the most limiting organ.5. The high alarm setpoint, Sp, may be established at a lower value than the lowest computed value via the setpoint equation.6. Containment Pressure Reliefs will not have a recomputed high alarm setpoint, but will use the normal high alarm setpoint due to their randomness and the time constraints involved in recomputation.
- 7. At certain times, it may be desirable to increase the high alarm setpoint, if the vent flow rate is decreased.
This may be accomplished in one of two ways.Max Conc ( AiCi/cc)
- Max Flowrate (cfm) New Max cin New Max Concentration
(,aCi/cc)-OR-Max Conc (,aCi/cc)
- Max Flowrate (cfim) -New Max jiCi/cc New Max Flowrate (cfm)b. Waste Gas Storage Tanks Reference T PMP-6010-OSD-001 I Rev. 22 Page 34 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 1. The gaseous effluents discharged from the Waste Gas System are monitored by the vent stack monitors VRS-1505 and VRS-2505.2. In the event of a high radiation alarm, an automatic termination of the release from the waste gas system will be initiated from the plant vent radiation monitor low range noble gas channel (VRS-1505 or VRS-2505).
Therefore, for any gaseous release configuration, which includes normal operation and waste gas system gaseous discharges, the alarm setpoint of the plant vent radiation monitor will be recomputed to determine the most limiting organ based on all gaseous effluent source terms.Chemical and Volume Control System Hold Up Tanks (CVCS HUT), containing high gaseous oxygen concentrations, may be released under the guidance of waste gas storage tank utilizing approved Operations' procedures.
- 3. It is normally prudent to allow 45 days of decay prior to releasing a Gas Decay Tank (GDT). There are extenuating, operational circumstances that may prevent this from occurring.
Under these circumstances, such as high oxygen concentration creating a combustible atmosphere, it is prudent towaive the 45-day decay for safety's sake.c. Containment Purge and Exhaust System 1. Thegaseous effluents discharged by the Containment Purge and Exhaust Systems and Instrumentation Room Purge and Exhaust System are monitored by the plant vent radiation monitor noble gas channels (VRS-1505 for Unit 1, VRS-2505 for Unit 2); and alarms and trip actions will occur prior to exceeding the limits in step 3.2.4a, Dose Rate.2. For the Containment System, a continuous air sample from the containment atmosphere is drawn through a closed, sealed system to the radiation monitors (Tag No. ERS-1300/1400 for Unit 1 and ERS-2300/2400 for Unit 2). During purges, these monitor setpoints will give a Purge and Exhaust Isolation signal upon actuation of high alarm setpoints for particulate and noble gas channels.
The sample is then returned to containment.
Grab sample analysis is performed for a Containment purge before release.3. The Upper Containment area is monitored by normal range area gamma monitors (Tag No. VRS-1 101/1201 for Unit 1 and VRS-2101/2201 for Unit 2), which also give Purge and Exhaust Isolation Trip signals upon actuation of their high alarm.
Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 Rev. 22 Page 35 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 4. For the Containment Pressure.
Relief System, no sample is routinely taken prior to release, but a sample is obtained twice per month.5. The containment airborne and area monitors, upon actuation of their high alarm, will automatically initiate closure of the Containment and Instrument Room purge supply and exhaust duct valves and containment pressure relief system valves. Complete trip of all isolation control devices requires high alarm of one of the two Train A monitors (ERS- 1300/2300 or VRS- 1101/2101) and one of the two Train B monitors (ERS-1400/2400 or VRS-1201/2201).
- d. Steam Jet Air Ejector System (SJAE)1. The gaseous effluents from the Steam Jet Air Ejector System discharged to the environment are continuously monitored by radiation monitor (Tag No. SRA-1900 for Unit 1 and SRA-2900 for Unit 2). The monitor will alarm prior to exceeding the limits of step 3.2.4a, Dose Rate. The alarm setpoint for the Condenser Air Ejector System monitor will be based on the maximum air ejector exhaust flow rate, (Attachment 3.15, Plant Gaseous Effluent Parameters).
The alarm setpoint valuewill be established using the following unit analysis equation:=SF *MRP* DLj SSJAE SF */
- Where;SSJAE = the maximum setpoint, based on the most limiting organ, in lICi/cc and where the other terms are as previously defined e. Gland Seal Condenser Exhaust 1. The gaseous effluents from the Gland Seal Condenser Exhaust discharged to the environment are continuously monitored by radiation monitor (Tag No. SRA-1800 for Unit 1 and SRA-2800 for Unit 2). The radiation monitor will alarm prior to exceeding the limits of step 3.2.4a, Dose Rate. The alarm setpoint for the GSCE monitor will be based on the maximum condenser exhaust flow rate (1260 CFM for Unit 1, 2754 CFM each for the two Unit 2 vents).The alarm setpoint value will be established using the following unit analysis equation:

Dose contribution from direct radiation exposure will be based on the results of the direct radiation monitoring devices located at the REMP monitoring stations.
See NUREG-0133, section 3.8.3.5 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP)3.5.1 Purpose of the REMP a. The purpose of the REMP is to: 0 Establish baseline radiation and radioactivity concentrations in the environs prior to reactor operations,* Monitor critical environmental exposure pathways,* Determine the radiological impact, if any, caused by the operation of the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant upon the local environment.
- b. The first purpose of the REMP was completed prior to the initial operation of either of the two nuclear units at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Site. The second and third purposes of the REMP are an on-going operation and as such various environmental media and exposure pathways are examined.
The various pathways and sample media used are delineated in Attachment 3.19, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Sample Stations, Sample Types, Sample Frequencies.
Included is a list of the sample media, analysis required, sample stations, and frequency requirements for both collection and analysis.

BASES -RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (REMP)The REMP provides measurements of radiation and radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides, which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from the station operation.
Thereby, this monitoring program supplements~the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying the measurable concentration of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.
The initially specified REMP was effective for the first three years of commercial operation.
Program changes may be initiated based on operational experience in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 5.5.1 .c.The detection capabilities, required by Attachment 3.20, Maximum Values for Lower Limits of DetectionsA,B
-REMP, are the state-of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as a posteriori (after the fact)limit for a particular measurement.
Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine analysis conditions.
Occasionally, background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable.
In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.3.5.3 Annual Land Use Census [Ref. 5.2.lu]a. Conduct a land use census and identify the location of the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence and the nearest garden of greater than 500 square feet producing fresh leafy vegetables in each of the ten land sectors within a distance of five miles.
Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 I Rev. 22 Page 40 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL b. In lieu of the garden census, grape and broad leaf vegetation sampling may be performed as close to the site boundary as possible in a land sector, .containing sample media, with the highest average deposition factor (D/Q) value.c. Conduct this land use census annually between the dates of-June 1 and October 1 by door-to-door survey, aerial survey, or by consulting local agricultural authorities.
- 1. With a land use census identifying a location(s), which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than the values currently being calculated in this document, make appropriate changes to incorporate the new location(s) within 30 days, if possible.BASES -- LAND USE CENSUS This is provided to ensure changes in the use of unrestricted areas are identified and modifications to the monitoring program are made in accordance with requirements of TS 6.8.4b, if required by the results of the census. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census-to gardens of greater than 500 square feet provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (25 kg/yr) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption of a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were used: 1)that 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (that is, similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) a vegetation field of 2 kg/square meter.3.5.4 Interlaboratory Comparison Program a. In order to comply with Reg. Guides 4.1 and 4.15, the analytical vendor participates in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program, for radioactive materials.
Address program results and identified deficiencies in the AREOR.1. With analyses not being performed as required above, report the corrective actions taken to prevent a recurrence to the Commission in the AREOR.BASES -- INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM The requirement for participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate the results are reasonably valid.3.6 Meteorological Model Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 Rev. 22 Page 41 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL 3.6.1 Three towers are used to determine the meteorological conditions at Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant. One of the towers is located at the Lake Michigan shoreline to determine the meteorological parameters associated with unmodified shoreline air. The data is accumulated by microprocessors at the tower sites and normally transferred to the central computer every 15 minutes.3.6.2 The central computer uses a meteorological software program to provide atmospheric dispersion and deposition parameters.

This is primarily in reference to start up flash tank flow.# OPERABILITY of RRS-1001 includes OPERABILITY of sample flow switch RFS-1010, which is an attendant instrument as defined in Technical Specification section 1.1, under the term Operable -Operability.
This item is also applicable for all Eberline liquid monitors (and their respective flow switches) listed here.** Since these monitors can be used for either batch or continuous release the appropriate action statement of I or 2 should apply (that is, Action 1 if a steam generator drain is being performed in lieu of Action 2). It is possible, due to the steam generator sampling system lineup, that BOTH action statements are actually entered. This would be the case when sampling for steam generator draining requires duplicate samples while the sample system is lined up to discharge to the operating units blowdown system. In this case the steam generator drain samples can fulfill the sample requirement for Action 2 also. Action 2 would be exited when sampling was terminated.
+ Some Westinghouse (R) radiation monitors are being replaced by Eberline (DRS) monitors.
Either monitor can fulfill the operability requirement.
Ensure surveillances are current for operability of the instrumentation prior to using it to satisfy applicability requirement.

- 1. Collect grab samples and conduct laboratory analyses per the specific monitor's action statement,-OR-2. Collect local monitor readings at a frequency equal to or greater than (more frequently than) the action frequency.
IF the RMS monitor is inoperable for reasons other than the loss of control room annunciation, THEN the only acceptable action is taking grab samples and conducting laboratory analyses as the reading is equivalent to a grab sample when the monitor is functional.

IF an RMS monitor is inoperable solely as the result of the loss of it's control room alarm annunciation, THEN one of the following actions is acceptable to satisfy the ODCM action statement compensatory surveillance requirement:
- 1. Take grab samples and conduct laboratory analyses per the specific monitor's action statement,-OR-2. Take local monitor readings at a frequency equal to or greater than (more frequently than) the action frequency.
IF the RMS monitor is inoperable for reasons other than the loss of control room annunciation, THEN the only acceptable action is taking grab samples and conducting laboratory analyses as the reading is equivalent to a grab sample when the monitoris functional.
- 2. Consider releases as occurring "via this pathway" under the following conditions:
- The Containment Purge System is in operation and Containment Operability is applicable,-OR-* The Containment Purge System is in operation and is being used as .the vent path for the venting of contaminated systems within the containment building prior to completing both degas and depressurization of the RCS.IF neither of the above are applicable, THEN the containment purge system is acting as a ventilation system (an extension of the Auxiliary Building) and is covered by Item 2 of this Attachment.-OR-A Containment Pressure Relief (CPR) is being performed.

-REMP b. A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen which is representative of the liquids released.c. A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. Prior to sampling for analysis, isolate, recirculate or sparge each batch to ensure thorough mixing. Examples of these are Monitor Tank and Steam Generator Drains. Before a batch is released the tank is sampled and analyzed to determine that it can be released without exceeding federal standards.
- d. A continuous release is the discharge of liquid of a non-discrete volume; e.g. from a volume of system that has an input flow during the continuous release. This type of release includes the Turbine Room Sump, Steam Generator Blowdown and the Steam Generator Sampling System.e. The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification applies exclusively are the following radionuclides:

0.35 U 1 & 2 Liquid Waste Discharge RRS-1000 0.30 Sources of radioactivity released from the Turbine Room Sump (TRS) typically originate from the secondary cycle which is already being monitored by instrumentation that utilizes multiple release point (MRP) factors. The MRP is an administrative value that is used to assist with maintaining releases ALARA. The TRS has no actual radiation monitor, but utilizes an automatic compositor for monitoring what has been released.
The batch release path, through RRS-1000, is the predominant release path by several magnitudes.
Tritium is the predominant radionuclide released from the site and the radiation monitors do notrespond to this low energy beta emitter. Based on this information and the large degree of conservatism built into the radiation monitor setpoint methodology it does not appear to warrant further reduction for the TRS release path since its source is predominantly the secondary cycle which is adequately covered by this factor.Gaseous Factors Monitor Description Monitor Number Flow Rate (cfm) MRP #Unit 1 Unit Vent VRS-1500 186,600 -0.54 Gland Seal Vent SRA-1800 1,260 0.00363 Steam Jet Air Ejector SRA-1900 3,600 (b) 0.01 Start Up FT Vent 1,536 0.004 Total 192,996 Unit 2 Unit Vent VRS-2500 143,400 0.41 Gland Seal Vent SRA-2800 5,508 (a) 0.02 Steam Jet Air Ejector SRA-2900 3,600 (b) 0.01 Start Up FT Vent 1,536 0.004 Total 154,044* Either R-19, 24, DRS 3/4100 or 3/4200 can be used for blowdown monitoring as the Eberline monitors (DRS) are replacing the Westinghouse (R) monitors.# Nominal Values a Two release points of 2,754 cfm each are totaled for this value.b This is the total design maximum of the Start Up Air Ejectors.

-BROADLEAF IN LIEU OF MILK 3 indicator samples of broad leaf vegetation Broadleaf Monthly Gamma Isotopic Monthly collected at different locations, within eight vegetation when available 1131- when available miles of the plant in the highest annual average D/Q land sector.I background sample of similar vegetation Broadleaf Monthly Gamma Isotopic Monthly grown 15-25 miles distant in one of vegetation when available 1131 when available the less prevalent wind directions.
Collect composite samples of Drinking and Surface water at least daily. Analyze particulate sample filters for gross beta activity 24 or more hours following filter removal. This will allow for radon and thoron daughter decay. If gross beta activity in air or water is greater than 10 times the yearly mean of control samples for any medium, perform gamma isotopic analysis on the individual samples.IF at least three indicator milk samples and one background milk sample cannot be obtained, THEN three indicator broad leaf samples will be collected at different locations, within eight miles of the plant, in the land sector with the highest D/Q (refers to the highest annual average D/Q). Also, one background broad leaf sample will be collected 15 to 25 miles from the plant in one of the less prevalent D/Q land sectors.* The three milk indicator and one background farm will be determined by the Annual Land Use Census and those that are willing to participate.

The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is defined as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability and 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.For a particular measurement system (which may include radiochemical separation), the LLD is given by the equation: LLD- 4.66a *S E*V* 2.22*Y*e(-*A!)
Where LLD is the a priori lower limit of detection as defined above (as pCi per unit mass or volume). Perform analysis in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions.
Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering radionuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable.
It should be further clarified that the LLD represents the capability of a measurement system and not as an after the fact limit for a particular measurement.
S is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute).E is the counting efficiency of the detection equipment as counts per transformation (that is, disintegration)
V is the sample size in appropriate mass or volume units 2.22 is the conversion factor from picocuries (pCi) to transformations (disintegrations) per minute Y is the fractional radiochemical yield as appropriate k is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide At is the elapsed time between the midpoint of sample collection (or end of sample collection period) and time of counting.B.

COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-315 AND 50-316 [Ref. 5.2.1r](This is a 10 CFR 50.75 (g) item)1. INTRODUCTION By letters dated' October 9, 1991, October 23, 1991, September 3, 1993, and September 29, 1993, Indiana MichiganPower Company (I&M) requested approval pursuant to 10 CFR 20.2002 for the on-site disposal of licensed material not previously considered in the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Final Environmental Statement dated August 1973. Specifically, this request addresses actions taken in 1982 in which approximately 942 cubic meters of slightly contaminated sludge were removed from the turbine room sump absorption pond and pumped to the upper parking lot located within the exclusion area of the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant. The contaminated sludge was spread over an area of approximately 4.7 acres. The sludge contained a total radionuclide inventory of 8.89 millicuries (mCi) of Cesium-137, Cesium-136, Cesium-134, Cobalt-60 and Iodine-131.
In its submittal, the licensee addressed specific information requested in accordance with 10 CFR 20.2002(a), provided a detailed description of the licensed material, thoroughly analyzed and evaluated information pertinent to the impacts on the environment of the proposed disposal of licensed material, and committed to follow specific procedures to minimize the risk of unexpected exposures.
- 2. DESCRIPTION OF WASTE The turbine room sump absorption pond is a collection place for water released from the plant's turbine room sump. The contamination was caused by a primary-t0-secondary steam generator leak that entered the pond from the turbine building sump, a recognized release pathway. Sludge, consisting mainly of leaves and roots mixed with sand, built up in the pond.As a result, the licensee dredged the pond in 1982. The radioactive sludge removed by the dredging activities was pumped to a containment area located within the exclusion area. The total volume of 942 cubic meters of the radioactive sludge that was dredged from the bottom of the turbine room absorption pond was subsequently spread and made into a graveled road over the upper parking lot area of approximately 4.7 acres.The principal radionuclides identified in the dredged material are listed below.TABLE 1 NUCLIDE ACTIVITY (mCi) ACTIVITY (mCi)(half-life) 1982 1991 1 3 6 CS (13.2 d) 0.03 NA*'3 4 Cs (2.1 y) 2.34 0.18 1 3 7 Cs (30.2 y) 5.59 4.57 6 0 Co (5.6 y) 0.90, 0.27 1311 (8.04 d) 0.03 NA*TOTAL: 8.89 5.02* NA: not applicable due to decay Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 Rev. 22 Page 90 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Safety Evaluation By The Office Of Nuclear Pages: Reactor Regulation 89-91 3. RADIOLOGICAL IMPACTS The licensee in 1982 evaluated the following potential exposure pathways to members of the general public from the radionuclides in the sludge: (1) external exposure caused by groundshine from the disposal site;(2) internal exposure caused by inhalation of re suspended radionuclide;-AND-(3) internal exposure from ingesting ground water.The staff has reviewed the licensee's calculational methods and assumptions and finds that they are consistent with NUREG-1101, "Onsite Disposal of Radioactive Waste," Volumes 1 and 2, November 1986 and February 1987, respectively.
The staff finds the assessment methodology acceptable.
Table 2 lists the doses calculated by the licensee for the maximally exposed member of the public based on a total activity of 8.89 mCi disposed in that year.TABLE 2 Pathway Whole Body Dose Received by Maximally Exposed Individual (mrem/year)
Groundshine 0.94.Inhalation 0.94 Groundwater Ingestion 0.73 Total 2.61 On July 5, 1991, the licensee re-sampled the onsite disposal area to assure that no significant impacts and adverse effects had occurred.
A counting procedure based on the appropriate environmental low-level doses was used by the licensee; however, no activity was detected during the re-sampling'.
This is consistent with the original activity of the material and the decay time. The 1991 re-sampling process used by the licensee confirms that the environmental impact of the 1982 disposal was very small. The staff finds the licensee's methodology acceptable.
- 4. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING AND CONCLUSION The staff has evaluated the environmental impact of the proposal to leave in place approximately 942 cubic meters of slightly contaminated sludge underneath the upper parking lot on the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant site.In 1982, the licensee evaluated the potential exposure to members of the general public from the radionuclides in the sludge and calculated the potential dose to the maximally exposed member of the public, based on a total activity of 8.89 mCi disposed in that year, to be 2.61 mrem/yr. The staff has reviewed the licensee's calculational methods and assumptions and found that they are consistent with NUREG-1 101, Onsite Disposal of Radioactive Waste, Volumes 1 and 2, November 1986 and February 1987, respectively.
The staff finds the assessment methodology acceptable.
For comparison, the radiation from the naturally occurring radionuclides in soils and rocks plus cosmic radiation gives a person in Michigan a whole-body dose rate of about 89 mrem per year outdoors.
Subsequent licensee sampling in 1991 identified no detectable activity.
The staff evaluated the licensee's sampling and analysis methodology and finds it acceptable.
The results, of the 1991 re-sampling by the licensee, confirm that the environmental impact of the 1982 disposal was very small.Based on the above the staff finds that the potential environmental impacts of leaving the contaminated sludge in place are insignificant.
With regard to the non-radiological impacts, the staff has determined that leaving the soil in place represents the least impact to the environment.
Reference PMP-6010-OSD-001 Rev. 22 Page 91 of 91 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Attachment 3.24 Safety Evaluation By The Office Of Nuclear Pages: Reactor Regulation 89 -91 5. CONCLUSION Based on the staff's review of the licensee's discussion, the staff finds the licensee's proposal to retain the material in its present location as documented in this Safety Evaluation acceptable.
Also, this Safety Evaluation shall be permanently incorporated as an appendix to the licensee's Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), and any future modifications shall be reported to NRC in accordance with the applicable ODCM change protocol.I&M letter from E. E. Fitzpatrick to the NRC Document Control Desk, September 29, 1993 Therefore, the licensee's proposal to consider the slightly contaminated sludge disposed by retention in place in the manner described in the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant submittals date October 9, 1991, October 23, 1991, September 3, 1993, and September 29, 1993, is acceptable.
The guidelines used by the NRC staff for onsite disposal of licensed material and the staff's evaluation of how each guideline has been satisfied are given in Table 3.Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the Commission has determined that granting of this approval will have no significant impact on the environment (October 31, 1994, 59 FR 54477).Principal Contributor:
