Revision No. Date Reason for Revision 27 6/27/2012 The definition of CHANNEL RESPONSE TEST has been deleted. There is no requirement to perform a CHANNEL RESPONSE TEST; therefore the inclusion of the definition is extraneous.

The statement that C-14 will not be included in the totals when assessing compliance with specification 3.7.1.A (section 3.5.1.F) has been deleted as inappropriate.

The term "GALE Code" is defined and referenced. Beyond the definition, all subsequent use of the term "GALE Code",

GALE Code Mix or PWR GALE Code, has been changed to "source term".

Corrected DEi definition. Conversion factor basis has always been T1 D-14844.

Non-gamma emitters, previously treated as a subtraction in the liquid radiation process monitor setpoint calculations will now be treated as a factor, in a similar fashion to gamma emitters. This will reduce calculated setpoints from tt)ose previously generated by past methodology generated values.

Tritium will be accounted for by bounding calculation.

Section 4 and section 5 equations have been restructured to reflect source documentation, with NO change in methodology, other than those identified. This was done to enhance auditability.

Discharge Canal Monitor definition was revised to reflect USAR, and to .direct the maintaining of the al arm setpoint low, reflecting its function as an. atypical release monitor.

Table 5.1 specific dispersion factor values have been removed. Dispersion factors are identified as long or short

term. The ODCM defines methodology. Specific values generated by the prescribed methodology, will be maintained in supporting documentation (H4.2)

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATIONS MANUAL INTRODUCTION The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) describes the methodologies and parameters used in: 1) the calculation of offsite doses resulting from radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents; 2) the calculation of gaseous and liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation Alarm/Trip Setpoints. The methodology stated in this manual is acceptable for use in demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR 20.1301 (a)(1 ), 10 CFR 50.36A, 10 CFR 50, Appendix A (GDC 60 & 64) and Appendix I, and 40 CFR 190.

The ODCM is based on "Radiological Effluent Technical Specification of PWR's (NUREG-0472, October 1978)", "Preparation of Radiological Effluent TechnicaJ Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants (NUREG-0133, October 1978)", and "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Guidance (NUREG.:1301, April 1991 ). Specific plant procedures have been developed to implement the ODCM.

This m~nual also includes information related to the RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (REMP). Tables 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 designate specific sample types, reporting 'levels and lower limits of detection currently used to satisfy the sampling requirements for the REMP. *

This procedure is credited by the ISFSI License Renewal Aging Management Programs for implementing monitoring and for the methodologies and parameters used in the calculation of offsite doses resulting from radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, the calculation of gaseous and liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation alarm/trip setpoints, and information related to the REMP all of which aid in determining that the ISFSI radiation levels remain within acceptable limits. Therefore, consider ISFSI License Renewal requirements when revising this procedure (Ref. H76, ISFSI License Renewal Implementation and Aging Management Programs)

Licensee initiated changes to the ODCM:

1. SHALL be documented and records of reviews performed SHALL contain:

a. Sufficient information to support the change(s) together with the appropriate analyses or evaluations justifying the change(s).

b. A determination that the change(s) maintain the level of radioactive effluent control required by 10 CFR20.1301 (a)(1 ), 10 CFR 50.36A, 40 CFR 190, 10 CFR 50,.Appendix I, and not adversely impact the ~ccuracy or reliability of effluent, .

ABNORMAL RELEASE An unplann.ed or uncontrolled release of radioactive material from the plant.

A release which results from procedural or equipment inadequacies, or personnel errors, that cou.ld indicate a deficiency.

ACTION ACTION SHALL be that part of a specification which prescribes remedial measures required under designated conditions. *

. BATCH RELEASE A BATCH RELEASE is a discharge of liquid or gaseous radioactive effluents of a discrete volume. Prior to. release, each bafoh SHALL be isolated and thoroughly mixed* for sampling and analysis.

CHANNEL CALIBRATION A CHANNEL CALIBRATION SHALL be the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel such that it responds within the required range and accuracy to known values of input. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION SHALL encompass the entire channel including the sensors and alarm, interlock and/or trip functions and may be performed by aliy series of ~equential, overlapping, or total channel steps such that the entire channel is calibrated.

CHANNEL CHECK A CHANNEL CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment, by observation, of channel behavior during operation. This determination shall include, where possible, comparison of the channel indication and status to other indications or status derived from independent instrument channels measuring the same parameter.

CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST

.,

A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST consists of injecting a* simulated signal into the channel as close to the primary sensor as practicable to verify that it is FUNCTIONAL, including alarm and/or trip initiating action.

CONTINUOUS RELEASE A CONTINUOUS RELEASE is the discharge of liq uid or gaseous radioactive effluents of a nondiscrete volume of a system that usually has makeup flow during the release .. CONTINUOUS RELEASES are normally sampled and analyzed either during or following tne release.

DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 is that concentration of 1-131 (µCi/gram) which alone would produce the same thyroid dose as the quantity and isotopic mixture of 1-131, 1-132, .1-133, 1-134 and 1-135 actua lly present.

DEi is a Reactor Coolant System Radiochemistry T echnical Specification parameter. With the implementation of Alternate S ource Term (License Amendment 206/193) the source document for the determination of conversion factors changes from TID-14844 to EPA Federal Guidance Report No. 11.

EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY The EXCLUSION AREA is the area encompassed by the EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY at a minimum distance of 715 meters from the center of either reactor.

GALE CODE GALE (Gaseous and Liquid Effluents) Code refers to the computer modeling of plant effluents, using a combination of input data and hard wired parameters to calculate source terms. Jhe gaseou sand liquid source terms presented in the ODCM are calculated using the GALE Code and referenced to USAR tables 9~3-1 and 9.2-3.* Throughout the O DCM, the use of the terms "Liquid Source Term" or "Gaseous Source Term" w ill mean-source terms generated using the Gale code.

GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM The GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTE M SHALL be any system designated and installed to reduce atmospherically released radioactive I effluents by collecting primary coolant system offga ses from the primary system and providing for delay or holdup for the pu rpose of reducing the total radioactivity prior to release to the environment.

Since Fe-55, Sr-89, Sr-90, and alpha concentrations are determined from composite samples, the liquid monitor setpoint determinations should be completed using the most recent available composite sample results.

Monitor high alarm or isolation setpoints.will be established or verified each time a release permit is generated, by the methodology described in section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. Nuclide mix input to the high alarm or isolation setpoint will be:

A. The Liquid Source Terms (Table 4.1 ).

1. Used in the case that n.o gamma emitters are identified in the batch tank pre-release samples or for continuous releases which are not anticipated to have gamma emitters and are not evaluated pre-release.

B. Based on analysis prior to discharge.

1. Used in the case of that gamma emitters are identified in the batch tank pre-release samples ..

In the *event that no release is made for a given liquid release pathway and therefore no evaluation of the associated liquid process radiation monitor is made, a setpoint calculation will be performed based on Liquid Source Terms (Table 4.1) at least once every 31 days.

If the calculated setpoint is less than the existing monitor setpoint, the setpoint SHALL be reduced to the new value. If the calculated setpoint is greater than the existing setpoint, the setpoint may remain at the lower value or increased to the calculated value.

Setpoint calculations are *performed each time a release permit is generated.

Tritium may constitute a significant portion of the nuclide mix, however tritium will not generate a monitor response (cpm). A bounding calculation may be performed, and a correction factor generated, as a basis for bounding tritium in the set point calculations.

The Discharge Canal Monitor*(R-21) provides direct measurement of the diluted plant effluent concentration, monitoring the various streams feeding the discharge canal, with the exception of the Waste Liquid Discharge Header.

The Waste Liquid Discharge Header is extended to the end of the discharge canal to a point just upstream of the river release sluice gates.

This line effectively bypasses R-21.

The Waste Liquid Discharge Header effluents are Steam Generator Slowdown releases and Radioactive Liquid Waste Tank Batch releases from the Auxiliary Building.

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT H PROCEDURE NUMBER:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 31.

Page 46 of 162 The activity of effluents released from the site, other than the Waste Liquid Discharge Header are typically negligible. R-21 is an atypical release monitor, for the purpose of identifying unanticipated releases.

The Discharge Canal Monitor alarm set point is set at a minimal value to detect minimal activity, without generating* spurious alarms.

4.1.5 Rad Effluent Monitor Calibration Liquid effluent monitors are calibrated periodically using a Cs-137 standard. Since the actual isotopic mixes of the liquids released may contain nuclides with different gamma energies and yields than the calibration standard, the response of the monitor varies with respect to the actual energies and abundances of the nuclides in the mix being monitored when compared to Cs-137.

Setpoint determinations or expected monitor readings during or prior to a release are compensated for the difference in gamma energies and yields.

The monitor setpoint calculations and predicted monitor readings are adjusted according to reflect the actual nuclide mix.

The assumption is made that the monitor's response is directly proportional to the gamma energies and yields.

The cumulative errors associated with the monitor calibration methodology are not accounted for in the determination of individual monitor setpoints.

Sufficient conservatism is built into the monitor setpoint determination, such as the required dilution safety factor. Additionally, the use of allocation factors would require that all release paths exceed their respective monitor set points before the limits of ten times the water effluent concentrations of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 (ECLs) were challenged.

The dose contributio.n will be calculated using the following:

A. Waste Flow Fraction Determination To determine doses from liquid effluents, the waste flow fraction for the period of release must be calculated. This dilution factor must be calculated for each BATCH RELEASE and each CONTINUOUS RELEASE mode. The waste flow fraction is determined by:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 31 Page 60 of 162 5.1.3 Monitor Calibration Gaseous effluent monitors are calibrated periodically. Available gas mixes existing in plant systems may be used. Since effluent gas mixes vary in isotopic ratios and the energies of those isotopes span a range of energies, more than one gas mix is used during the calibration.

One calibration is performed with a mix that is predominately Xe-133 with lower level beta and gamma energies. A second calibration is performed with a mix containing longer lived plant gases that more accurately represent the higher beta energy range.

The result of this method of calibration is two separate calibration curves

. for each monitor. The Xe-133 curve is applied to setpoint calculations for

the Xe-133 activity. The second curve is applied to setpoint calculations for balance of noble gases activities.

Setpoint determination and projected monitor reading during release utilize a combination of the two calibration curves, according to the actual nuclide mix.

The cumulative errors associated with the monitor calibration methodology are not accounted for in the determination of the individual monitor setpoints. There is sufficient conservatism built into the selection of the actual monitor setpoint. Additionally, the. monitor fractions used in the setpoint determination equation make it necessary for all the effluent monitors to be in alarm before the. limits of 1OCFR Part 20 would be exceeded.

a. Shield building effluent particulates and iodines are filtered through a PAC (Particulate Absolute Charcoal) system and the auxiliary building vent normal ventilation has no filtration.

b. The lower limit of detection limits specified in Table 3.1 can not be obtained on all the specified nuclides with normal sample flow and sample duration of less than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months .

c. Shield building vent releases are monitored via a noble gas monitor.

d. .Auxiliary building normal ventilation flow is high~r than the special ventilation fans that vent via the shield building vent stack.

Therefore, it is conservative to assume that the auxiliary building normal ventilation system would continue to run during the testing/maintenance period. The surveillance test or maintenance/work being performed should be evaluated to ensure the*airborne activity in the affected areas will not increase during the evolution. If this evaluation indicates a possible increase in airborne effluents, or radiation monitors or continuous ai,r monitors in the affected buildings indicate higher tha.n normal background airborne activity before the evolution begins, the shield building vent stack sample SHALL be sampled and analyzed as described in Table 3.1.

Since Sr-a9 and Sr-90 concentrations are determined from composite samples, the pre-release, weekly and monthly airborne dose calculations and comparisons to quarterly and annual limits should be completed using the most recent available composite sample results. The quarterly dose values and critical receptors reported to the USNRC SHALL be calculated using the actual composite results.

The calculations will be performed at least every 31 days for all gaseous effluents.

The limits of 10 CFR 50 are on a per reactor unit basis. The GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM and the auxiliary building at PINGP is shared by both reactor units making it impossible to separate the releases of the two units.

The releases that can be separated by unit contribute a very small portion of the total gaseous releases from PINGP. Therefore, for compliance with 10 CFR 50 the releases from both units will be summed and the limits of Appendix I will be doubled.

. require the sampling and analysis of shield building vent.stack samples described in Table 3.1 for the following reasons:

a. Shield building effluent particulates and iodines are filtered through a PAC (Particulate Absolute Charcoal) system and the auxiliary building vent normal ventilation has no filtration.

b.

The lower limit of detection limits specified in Table 3.1 can not be obtained on all the specified nuclides with normal sample flow and a sample duration of less than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months .* *

. c. Shield building vent releases are monitored via noble gas*monitor.

d. Auxiliary building normal ventilation flow is higher than the special ventilation fans that vent via* the shield building vent stack.

Therefore, it is conservative fo assume that. the auxiliary building normal ventilation system would continue to run during the testing/maintenance period. The surveillance test or maintenance/work being performed should be evaluated to ensure the airborne activity in the affected areas will not increase during the evolution. If this evaluation indicates a possible increase in airborne effluents, or radiation monitors or continuous air monitors in the affected buildings indicate higher than normal background airborne activity before the evolution begins, the shield building vent stack sampled SHALL be sampled and analyzed as described in Table 3.1.

Since Sr-89 and Sr-90 concentrations are determined from composite samples, the pre-release, weekly and monthly airborne dose calculations and comparisons to quarterly and annual limits should be completed using the most recent available composite sample results. The quarterly dose values and critical receptors reported to the USNRC SHALL be calculated using the actual composite results.

.To demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 50 App I ALARA design objectives, two locations of interest are identified.

. .

For noble gases effluents, the location identified for demonstrating compliance will be based on the beta and gamma air doses only. This location will be the offsite location with the highest long term vent X/Q values maintained in H4.2, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)

Supporting Data". This location will remain the same unless meteorological data is reevaluated or the SITE BOUNDARY changes.

For the 1-131, 1-133, tritium, long-lived particulate and C-14 effluents, the location indentfied for demonstrating compliance will be based on

maxiumum organ dose. It will be known as the Critical Receptor Location.

The selection will follow the annual land use census, performed witt)in 5 miles of the PINGP. Each of the following locations will be evaluated as*

potential critical receptors.

1. Residence in each sector

2. Vegetable garden producing leafy green vegetables

3. All identified milk animal locations Following the annual survey, doses will *be calculated using Equation 5.3-3 for all new identified receptors and those receptors whose characteristics have changed significantly. The calculation will include appropriate information about each new location. The dispersion parameters given in this manual should be employed. The total releases reported for the previous calendar year should be used as the source terms.

In certain cases, the Critical Receptor identified may not produce conservative doses in comparison to a past Critical Rec.eptor. A past Critical Receptor may no longer qualify, based on such criteria as discontinuing the maintenance of a qualifying garden. In this case the option to consider a qualifying garden to still exist may be chosen, when doses may be proven to be conservative, with regards to the newly identified Critical Receptor, based on radioactive effluent releases. This position complies with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Branch Technical Position, Revision 1, dated November, *1979.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 31 Page 89 of 162 BASIS 2.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS 2.1/2.2 CONCENTRATION This control is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released .

in liquid waste effluents from the site to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be less than ten times the concentration levels.specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.

This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will not result in exposures exceeding (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, and (2) ten times the limits of 10 CFR

20. The concentration limit for dissolved or entrained noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its MPC 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 releases of radioactive materials in liquiq effluents from all units at the site.

. .

Secondary condenser drains were not included in the routine sampling requirements of Table 2.1. Operating experience has shown that the condenser activity during plant transients normally consists of very low levels of tritium. Condensers are normally only released directly to the environment during plant startups and shutdowns and these volumes combined with the low levels of activity are insignificant when compared to the waste tank activities. Condenser releases should be sampled and analyzed during a significant plant event (i.e. steam generator tube rupture, or steam dump to the condenser with a primary to secondary leak >725 gpd).

2.3/2.4 DOSE Provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A, Ill.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50. The Limiting Condition for Operation implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide operating flexibility and 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 will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". Considering that the nearest drinking water supply using the river for drinking water is more than 300 miles downstream, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radioactive concentrations in the drinking water that.

are in excess of the 40 CFR 141 limits.

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT H PROCEDURE NUMBER:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 31 Page 90 of 162 2.5/2.6 LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS Provides assurance that the liquid radwaste treatment system will be available for use 1 whenever liquid effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirements that appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents be kept "as low as reasonably achievable". This control implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50 and the design objective given in Section 11.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The limhs governing the use of appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste system were specified as a suitable fraction of the guide set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50, for liquid effluents.

The liquid radwaste treatment system is shared by both units. It is not practical to determine the contribution from*each unit to liquid radwaste releases. For this reason, liquid radwaste releases will be allocated equally to each unit.

. 2.7/2.8 RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or poteritial releases of liquid effluents. The Alarm/Trip Setpoint for these instruments SHALL be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodologies and parameters in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding ten times the water effluent concentration limits of 10 CFR 20. The FUNCTIONALITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50.

Ra.diation monitor set points are calculated to provide alarm and trip functions to ensure concentration of radioactive materials in liquid waste effluents released from the site to UNRESTRICTED AREAS, does not exceed the noted specific limits. The methodology prescribed in the ODCM for these calculations is acceptable for use in demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR 20.1301 (a)(1 ), 10 CFR 50.36a, 10 CFR 50, Appendix A (GDC 60

& 64) and Appendix I, and 40 CFR 190.

Revision to the ODCM requires Operations Committee review and approval to ensure the revision continues to demonstrate compJiance.

Specific monitor set point changes, when performed in accordance the methodology as reviewed and approved by the Operations Committe~ need not be reviewed by the Operations Committee. Specific monitor set point changes will be reviewed and approved by the Department Manager administering the ODCM program and the Radiation Monitor

Engineer. The calculation sheet supporting the set point change is submitted to engineering for documentation.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 31 Page 91 of 162 2.9/2.10 LIQUID STORAGE TANKS Restricting the quantities of radioactive material contained in the specified tanks provides

. assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the contents of the tank, the resulting concentrations would be less than the limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, in an UNRESTRICTED AREA.

3.0 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS 3.1/3.2 DOSE RATE This specification provides reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC in an UNRESTRICTED AREA either at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY in excess of the design objectives of appendix I to 10 CFR 50. This specification is provided to ensure that gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be appropriately controlled. It provides operational *flexibility for releases gaseous effluents to satisfy the Section ILA and 11.C design objectives of appendix I to 10 CFR 50. *For MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy.of the individual will 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 an individual at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY.

This control applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluent from all units

,at the site.

3.3/3.4 . DOSE FROM NOBLE GAS This control is provided to implement the requirements of Sections 11.B, Ill.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50. The Limiting Conditions for Operation implement the guides set forth in Section 11.B of Appendix I. The ACTION statement provides*the required operating

flexibility and at the same time implements the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the release of radioactive material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable".

MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 31 Page 92 of 162 3.5/3.6 DOSE FROM IODINE 131, IODINE 133, TRITIUM & PARTICULATES Implements the requirements of Section 11.C, Ill.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50. The Limiting Conditions for Operation are the guides .set forth in Section 11.C of Appendix I.

The ACTIONS statement provides the required operating flexibility and at the same time implements t~e guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive m:aterials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as reasonable achievabl.e".

The release rate specifications for 1-131, 1-133, tritium and radioactive particulates with half-lives greater than eight days are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC in the UNRESTRICTED AREA, using child dose conversion factors. The pathways which are examined in the development of these calculations are:

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.

3.7/3.8 GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS This control provides assurance that the Waste Gas Treatm.ent System and the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEMS will be available for use whenever gaseous wastes are released to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of the Waste Gas Treatment System be used when specified provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable". This specification implements the requirements of 1O CFR 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, and the design objective given in Section 11.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the systems were specified as a suitable fraction of the guide set forth in Sections 11.B and 11.C of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50, for gaseous effluents.

The Waste Gas Treatment System, containment purge release vent, and spent fuel pool

are shared by both units. Experience has also shown that contributiqns from both units are released from each auxiliary building vent. For these reasons, it is not practical to allocate releases to a specific unit. All releases will be allocated equally in determining conformance to the design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I.

Restricting the*quantities of radioactivity which can be stored in one decay tank provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tank's contents, the resulting total body exposure to an individual at the nearest EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY will not exceed 0.5 rem.

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT H PROCEDURE NUMBER:

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 31 Page 93 of 162 The cooling towers at Prairie Island are located to the south of the plant and are within 500 to 2000 feet from the point of release. At low wind velocities (below 10 mph) the gaseous activity released from the gaseous radwaste system could be at or near ground level near the cooling towers and remain long enough to be drawn into the circulating water in the tower. This control minimizes the possibility of releases of gaseous effluents from entering the *river from cooling tower scrubbing.

3.9/3.10 EXPLOSIVE GAS MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION To ensure the concentration of potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the waste gas treatment system is maintained below the flammability limits of hydrogen and oxygen.

Automatic control features are included in the system to prevent the hydrogen and oxygen concentrations from reaching these flammability limits. Maintaining the concentrations below the flammability limit provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials will be controlled in conformance with the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50. .

The system is operated with flow through the recombiners and with excess hydrogen in the system: By verifying that oxygen is less than or equal to 2% at the recombiner outlet, there will be no explosive mixtures in the system. Waste gas system oxygen is monitored by the two recombiner oxygen analyzers and the 121 gas analyzer. The 121 gas analyzer only monitors the low level loop of the waste gas system. If the required gas analyzers are noffunctional, the oxygen to the recombiner will- be isolated to prevent oxygen from entering the system from this source. Tanks that may undergo maintenance are normally purged with nitrogen before placing them in service to eliminate this as a source of oxygen.

3.11/3.12 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENT.MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases of gaseous effluents.* The Alarm/Trip Setpoint for these instruments SHALL be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodologies and parameters in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur.prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR 20. The FUNCTIONALITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50.

Radiation monitor set points are calculated to provide alarm and trip functions to ensure concentration of radioactive materials in airborne effluents releas~d from the site do not exceed the noted specific limit$. The methodology prescribed in the ODCM for these

. calculations is acceptable for use in demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR 20.1301 (a)(1 ),

10 CFR 50.36A, 10 CFR 50, Appendix A (GDC 60 & 64) and Appendix I, and 40 CFR 190. , .

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 31 Page 94 of 162 Revision to the ODCM requires Operations Committee review and approval to ensure the revision continues to demonstrate compliance.

Specific monitor set point changes, when performed in acco~dance the methodology as reviewed and approved by the Operations Committee need not be reviewed by the Operations Committee. Specific monitor set point changes will be reviewed and approved by the Department Manager administering the ODCM program* and the Radiation Monitor Engineer. The calculation sheet supporting the set point change is submitted to engineering for documentation.

6.0 *TOTAL DOSE This control is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR 190 that have been incorporated info 10 CFR 20 by FR 18525. The control requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources exceed 25 mrems to the whole body or to any organ, except the thyroid, which SHALL be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrems.

For sites containing up to four 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 twice the dose design objectives of Appendix I, and if direct radiation doses from the units (including outside storage tanks, etc.) are kept small. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within 40 CFR 190 limits.

With the advent of the ISFSI, direct dose SHALL be assessed in demonstrating compliance with 40 CFR 190, for Special Reporting and for inclusion i*n the Annual Radioactive Effluent Report.

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 provisions of 40 CFR 190.11 & 10 CFR 20.2203(a)(4), is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR 20, as addressed in Specification 2.1 and 3.1. An individual is not 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. Demonstration of compliance with the limits of 40 CFR 190 will be considered to demonstrate compliance with the 0.1 rem limit of 10 CFR 20.1301.

7.3/7.4 LAND USE CENSUS This control is provided to ensure that changes in the use of off site areas are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of the census. The best survey information from door-to-door, aerial or consulting with local agricultural authorities SHALL be used. This census satisfies the requirements* of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 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 sinc*e a garden of this size is the minimum

required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed .in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were used: 1) that 20% of the garde.n was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) a vegetation yield of

Ce-144 shall also be measured, but with an LLD of 5 x 10-6 . This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported. Other gamma peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, SHALL also be identified an_d reported. * *

d. Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses should not be reported as being present at the LLD level. When unusual circumstances result.in LLDs higher than required, *the reasons SHALL be documented in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Report.

e.* *A CONTINUOUS RELEASE is the discharge of liquid wastes of a non-discrete volume; e.g., from a volume of system that has an input flow during the continuous release.

f.

To be representative of the quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples SHALL be collected continuously in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream. Prior to analyses, all samples taken for the composite SHALL be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the effluent release.

g. A BATCH RELEASE is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. Prior to sampling for analyses, each batch SHALL be isolated, and then thoroughly mixed to assure representative sampling.

h. Daily grab samples from the turbine building sumps SHALL be collected and analyzed for principal gamma emitters, including 1-131, whenever primary to secondary leakage exceeds 1SO gpd in any steam generator. This sampling is provided in lieu of continuous monitoring with automatic isolation.

b. Grab samples taken at the ventilation exhausts are generally below minimum detectable levels for most nuclides with existing analytical equipment. If this is the case, Gaseous So1:1rce Terms (Table 5.2) noble gas isotopic ratios may be assumed.

c. With >1 µCi/gm DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 in either Unit 1 or Unit 2 reactor coolant system, the iodine and particulate collection devices for all° release points SHAL.L be removed and analyzed daily until it is shown that a pattern exists which can be used to predict the release rate. Sampling may then revert to weekly. When samples collected for one day are analyzed, the corresponding LLD's may be increased by a factor of 10. Samples SHALL be analyzed within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months after removal.

d. To be representative of the average quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in particulate form in gaseous effluents, samples should be collected in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent streams.

e. The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD control applies include the following radionuclides: Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 for noble gas analysis and Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144 in iodine and particulate analysis. This list does not mean tha.t only these nuclides are to be considered. Other gamma peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the above nuclides, SHALL also be detected and reported.

f. Nuclides which are below the LLD for analyses should not be reported as being present at the LLD level for that nuclide. When unusual circumstances result in LLD's higher than reported, the reasons. SHALL be documented in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Report.

g. For continuous samples, the ratio of the sample flow rate to the samples stream flow rate SHALL be known for the time period sampled (Conservative assumptions may be used). Design flow rates may be. used for building exhaust vent flow rates.

h. A continuous sample is one in which the sampling media is in plac;;e at all times during the release period, with the exception of periods necessary to change sampling media and scheduled short term equipment maintenance of two hours or less.

Values listed for Tm are nominal values only. They may be adjusted as necessary to allow a reasonable margin to the monitor setpoint. Duplicate values of Tm are assigned to both Shield Building vents since only one containment will be purged at' any one time. The assigned Tm values of all active release points SHALL NOT be greater than unity.

When purging the Unit 1 containment via the inservice purge system, the monitor setpoints may be based on 4.6E+3 cfm for the duration of the release.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION H4 MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 31 Page 141 of 162 Appendix A Summary of Dispersion Calculation Procedures Undepleted, undecayed dispersion parameters were computed using the computer program XOQDOQ (Sagendorf and Goll, 1977). Specifically, sector average x!Q and D/Q values were obtained for a sector width .of22.5 degrees. Building wake corrections were used to adjust calculations for ground-level releases. Standard open terrain recirculation correction factors were also applied as available as default values in XOQDOQ.
Dispersion calculations were based on ground level releases for the shield buildings, turbine buildings, and auxiliary building (hereafter referred to as the plant complex). A summary of release conditions used as input-to XOQDOQ is presented in Table A-1 and controlling site boundary distances are defined in Table A-2. Computed X/Q and D/Q values for site boundary locations (relative to release points) and for standard distances to five miles are maintained in H4.2, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Supporting Data".
Onsite meteorological data is collected over a representative time period. A 5 year period is suggested to ensure year to year variances do not bias the data set. This data reduced to joint frequency tables and used as input to the XOQDOQ determinations. Data is collected and delta-T stability classes are defined in conformance with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.23. Dispersion calculations for the plant complex is based on delta-T for 60 meter and 10 meter Go int data recovery of 90 percent. Joint frequency tables and resultant XOQDOQ determinations are maintaine<:I H4.2, "OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) SUPPORTING DATA". Meteorological data may be reassessed periodically to assure proper representation of local meteorological profiling.

MANUAL (ODCM) REV: 31 Page 147 of 162 Appendix 8 ~ose Parameters for Radioiodines, Particulates and Tritium This appendix contains the methodology which was used to calculate the dose parameters for radioiodines, particulates, and tritium to show compliance with 10 CFR 20 and Appendix I of 10 CFR 50 for gaseous effluents. These dose parameters, Pi and Ri, were calculated using the methodology outlines in NUREG-0133 along with Regulatory Guide 1.109 Revision 1. The following sections provide the specific methodology which was utilized in calculating the Pi and Ri values for the various exposure pathways.
8.1 Calculation of Pi The parameter, Pi, contained in the radioiodine and particulates portion of Section 5.2, includes pathway transport parameters of the ith radionuclide, the receptor's usage of the pathway media and the dosimetry of the .exposure .. Pathway usage rates a.nd the internal dosimetry are functions of the receptor's age: however, the child age *group, will always receive the maximum dose under the exposure conditions assumed.

The child's breathing rate is taken as 3700 m3/yr from Table E-5 of Regulatory Guide 1.109 Revision 1. The inhalation dose factors for the child OFAi, are presented in Table E-9 of Regulatory Guide 1.109 in units of mrem/pCi. The to~al body is considered as an organ in the selection of DFAj. The incorporation of breathing rate of the child and the unit conversion factor results in the following: *

The inhalation an*d ground plane exposure pathways SHALL be considered to exist at all locations. The grass-goat-milk, the grass-cow-milk, grass-cow-meat, and vegetation pathways are considered based on their existence at the various locations. Ri values have been calculated for the adult, teen, child, and infant age groups for the ground plane, cow milk, goat milk, vegetable and beef ingestion pathways. The methodology which was utilized to calculate these values is presented below.
