With the affected channel inoperable, effluent releases may continue for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> with no auxiliary sampling, provided that AB airborne levels are steady state or declining. If indicators of AB atmospheric activity, such as RM-A3, RM-A4, and RM-A8 show an increase in activity then restore the affected sampler, or implement auxiliary sampling, or shut down the release.
With the affected sampler inoperable, effluent releases may continue for more than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> provided that samples (reference Table 2-6) are continuously taken (except for filter changes) with auxiliary sampling equipment.
Auxiliary sampling equipment includes 1) RM-A4 and RM-A8 used together 2) general area AB air samples, or 3) RMA-15. Other sampling regimes are acceptable provided results are representative of plant effluents.
ACTION 26 With the number of OPERABLE channels less than required, effluent releases via this pathway may continue, provided flow rate is estimated at least once per 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.
ACTION 27 With the noble gas monitor (operating range) inoperable, operation of the RB purge may continue for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, provided that RB airborne levels are steady state or declining. If indicators of RB atmospheric activity such as RM-A6, RCS leakage, or general area air samples show an increase in RB activity while the monitor is inoperable, then immediately restore the noble gas monitor or shut down the purge.
Note: Coordination of sampling during core alterations or fuel movement is required in order to comply with Technical Specifications.
ACTION 28 If the auxiliary building ventilation system is secured, such that there is no effluent release path, then there are no compensatory sampling requirements.
With the number of OPERABLE channels less than required, releases via this pathway may continue, provided RM-A4 and RM-A8 are operable and auxiliary building airborne levels are steady state or declining as indicated by trend data from these monitors. If using RM-A4 and RM-A8 as compensatory monitors for RM-A2, then evaluate the trend data of these monitors every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and notate the evaluation in the plant log until RM-A2 is returned to service or the release is secured. Review of monitor trends using the plant computer system (such as OSI-PI or equivalent) is an approved method to satisfy this requirement.
OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 13
TABLE 2-3 (Continued)
TABLE NOTATION Note: An increasing trend for RM-A4 and/or RM-A8 is defined as RM-A4 or RM-A8 count rate increases by a factor of 2 above baseline counts or if either monitor's warning alarm setpoint actuates, exclusive of momentary spikes or spurious alarms.
If an increasing trend is noted on RM-A4 or RM-A8, then collect grab samples at the appropriate monitors (or plant areas) to evaluate the condition.
IF RM-A4 and RM-A8 are not operable, then collect gas grab samples at least once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and analyze within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from RM-A2, if its pump is running with acceptable flow rates.
If RM-A4 or RM-A8 is not available, then other local grab sampling regimes at a frequency of once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> can be utilized as long as it is representative of plant effluents.
Additionally either the requirements of ACTION 24 Part 2 are met or RM-All is OPERABLE prior to releasing the contents of the Waste Gas Decay Tanks.
ACTION 29 With the number of OPERABLE channels less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirements,
- 1) Either restore the inoperable Channel(s) to OPERABLE status within 7 days of the event, or
- 2) Prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission pursuant to Specification 2.14 within the next 30 days outlining the action taken, the cause of the inoperability and the plans and schedule for restoring the system to OPERABLE status.
NOTE: Action Statement 2.2a not applicable.
ACTION 30 With no channels OPERABLE, plant operation may continue provided grab samples are collected and analyzed for noble gases at least once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
NOTE: The absence of a conversion factor to relate cpm to gpd primary to secondary leakage does not make RM-A12 inoperable; RM-A12 can still be used as an indicator of changes in noble gas concentrations in the condenser off gas. CP-152, Primary to Secondary Leakage Operating Guideline, specifies the actions to take when a leak rate conversion factor is not available for use with RM-A12.

historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate specifications for 1-131, 1-133, Tritium, and radioactive particulates with half-life greater than eight days are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. The pathways which were examined in the development of these calculations were: 1) Individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leaf 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.
3.10 TOTAL DOSE BASIS This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190 that have now been incorporated into 10 CFR Part 20 by 46 FR 18525. 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 Part 190 if the individual reactors remain within the reporting requirement level. 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 the 40 CFR Part 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 8 km must be considered. If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 190.11 and 10 CFR Part 20.405c, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR Part 190 and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Specifications 2.5 thru 2.9. 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.

PRE-RELEASE CALCULATION 1.3-3 GASEOUS EFFLUENT IODINE MONITORS I. INTRODUCTION In order to determine the setpoints for these monitors, the following assumptions are used.
A. The release rate through the Auxiliary Building and Fuel Handling Area exhaust duct is 7.4 x 10' cc/sec. (156,000 cfm).
B. The release rate through the Reactor Building Purge Exhaust Duct is 2.4 x 107 cc/sec (50,000 cfm).
C. A limitless supply of uniformly concentrated 1-131 is available to supply the Exhaust Ducts.
D. The iodine filter has been installed for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and operating at a constant flow rate of 472 cc/sec (1 cfm). Therefore, total flow through the filter has been 1.36 x 107 cc.
II. CALCULATIONS The limiting concentration of Iodine in the vent which would result in a concentration equal to the 10 CFR 20 limit at the site boundary is calculated as follows:
Cv=C]/[(X/Q)FK] (1.7) where:
Cv = The Concentration of Radioiodine in the vent in pCi/cc.
C! = The 10 CFR 20 effluent concentration limit for Iodine 131, 2 x 10-1' pCi/cc.
F = The duct flow rate: 2.4 x 10' cc/sec for the Reactor Building Purge Exhaust Duct and 7.4 x 10' cc/sec for the Auxiliary Building and Fuel Handling Area Exhaust Duct.
K = Unit conversion constant, 1 x 10-1 m3/cc XIQ = The highest calculated annual average concentration for any area at or beyond the unrestricted area boundary, 2.5 x 10' sec/m3 .
Solving eqn. 1.7 for the Reactor Building Purge exhaust vent yields:
CV(RB) = 3.33 x 10' pCi/cc Solving eqn. 1.7 for the Auxiliary Building & Fuel Handling Area Exhaust vent yields:
CV(AB) = 1.1 X 10.' pCi/cc OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 70

4.5 METHODOLOGY FOR CARBON-14 DOSE Carbon-14 may become a principal radionuclide for the gaseous effluent pathway. It is produced by several nuclear reactions. In a nuclear reactor the most dominate mechanism is the reaction of 0-17 in the fuel or water with a neutron to produce C-14 and an alpha particle.
C-14 releases in PWRs occur primarily as a mix of organic carbon and carbon dioxide released from the waste gas system. Because the dose contribution of C-14 from liquid radioactive waste is much less than that contributed by gaseous radioactive waste, evaluation of C-14 in liquid waste is not required. The dose rate and subsequent dose to an individual from C-14 intake depends upon the specific activity of the food from each source and the amount of the ingested C-14 which is retained over the period under consideration.
The quantity of C-14 discharged can be estimated by sample measurements, or by use of a normalized C-14 source term and scaling factors based upon power generation, or by use of the GALE code per NUREG-001 7. Use of the GALE code per NUREG-001 7 Rev 1 "Calculation of Releases of Radioactive Materials in Gaseous and Liquid Effluents from Pressurized Reactors" provides a C-14 source term based on sample measurements made at 10 operating power plants. The C-14 source term recommended by NUREG-0017 Rev 1 is 7.3 curies/year for an 80% capacity factory or 292 Effective Full Power Days. Additionally, if estimating C-14 in gaseous effluent releases is based on scaling factors and fission rates, a precise and detailed evaluation is not necessary. Also, it is not necessary to calculate uncertainties for C-14 orto include C-14 uncertainty in any calculation of overall uncertainty.
In the determination of the limiting sector, all age groups and all of the exposure pathways are evaluated using the highest X/Q, D/Q values at the site boundary as referenced in the CR3 FSAR table 2-20 and in the ODCM dose equations. These could include milk, meat and vegetable ingestion, and inhalation pathways. Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (C02) is incorporated in cellular material by the photosynthetic actions of green plants. Plants and grasses, from which most food-stuff is derived, equilibrate with the C-14 CO 2 of the air. Due to the Primary Water System reducing environment, only 30% of the C-14 is released in the organic form.
CR3 ODCM Surveillance Requirement 2.12.1 requires that a land-use census survey be conducted on an annual basis. During this survey, the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence, and the nearest garden of greater than 500 square feet that produces fresh leafy vegetables is determined. Thus, depending on the results of the survey, a new limiting location could result. Normally CR-3 uses the site boundary as the nearest receptor, which is more restrictive than the nearest residence.
Regulatory Guide 1.109 provides the detailed implementation guidance to show compliance with Appendix I of 10 CFR 50 limits.

INTRODUCTION The Off-site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) is provided to support implementation of the Crystal River Unit 3 radiological effluent controls.
The ODCM is divided into two parts. Part I contains the specifications for liquid and gaseous radiological effluents and the radiological environmental monitoring program which were relocated from the Technical Specifications in accordance with the provisions of Generic Letter 89-01 issued by the NRC in January, 1989. Part II of the ODCM contains the calculational methods to be used in determining the dose to members of the public resulting from routine radioactive effluents released from Crystal River Unit 3. Part II also contains the methodology used to determine effluent monitor alarm/trip
.setpoints which assure that releases of radioactive materials remain within specified concentrations.
The ODCM shall become effective after acceptance by the Plant Nuclear Safety Committee and approval by the Plant General Manager in accordance with Technical Specification Section 5.6.2.3. Changes to the ODCM shall be documented and records of reviews performed shall be retained. This documentation shall contain sufficient information to support the change (including analyses or evaluations), and a determination that the change will maintain the level of radioactive effluent control required by the regulations listed in Technical Specification and not adversely impact the accuracy or reliability of effluent, dose, or setpoint calculations.
Changes shall be submitted to the NRC in the form of a complete and legible copy of the entire ODCM as part of, or concurrent with, the Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period of the report in which any change to the ODCM was made. Each change shall be identified by markings in the margin of the affected pages, clearly indicating the area of the page that was changed, and shall indicate the date (e.g. month/year) the change was implemented.

1.9 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM)
The OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL contains the methodology and parameters used in the calculation of offsite doses resulting from radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, in the calculation of gaseous and liquid effluent monitoring Alarm Trip Setpoints, and in the conduct of the Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program.
The ODCM also contains the Radioactive Effluent Controls and Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program and descriptions of the information that should be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating and Radioactive Effluent Release Reports.
1.10 OPERABLE - OPERABILITy Refer to Technical Specifications.
1.11 SITE BOUNDARY The SITE BOUNDARY shall be that line beyond which the land is not owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the licensee.
1.12 SOURCE CHECK.
A SOURCE CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel sensor is exposed to a radioactive source.
1.13 UNPLANNED RELEASE An UNPLANNED RELEASE is an unintended discharge of liquid or airborne radioactivity to the environment. The Auxiliary Building ventilation system is designed to handle leakage from various plant components. Leakage of this sort is not considered unplanned unless the magnitude of the leak is significant (i.e., reportable).
Minor equipment failures which cause an increase in plant releases are not unplanned as it is expected that minor failures will occur from time-to-time. Human error which results in a release of radioactivity to the environment is considered unplanned.
Examples:
Releasing the wrong waste tank.
Plant leakage which exceeds reporting limits such as those of 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73.
OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 3
1.14 UNRESTRICTED AREA An UNRESTRICTED AREA shall be any area at or beyond the site boundary, access to which is not controlled by the licensee for purposes of protection of individuals from exposure to radiation and radioactive materials, or any area within the site boundary used for residential quarters or industrial, commercial, institutional, and/or recreational purposes.
1.15 VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM A VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM is any system designed and installed to reduce gaseous radioiodine or radioactive material in particulate form in effluents by passing ventilation or vent exhaust gases through charcoal adsorbers and/or HEPA filters for the purpose of removing iodines or particulates from the gaseous exhaust stream prior to release to the environment (such a system is not considered to have any effect on noble gas effluents).
Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) atmospheric cleanup systems are not considered to be VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM components.
1.16 WASTE GAS SYSTEM A WASTE GAS SYSTEM is any equipment (e.g., tanks, vessels, piping) capable of collecting primary coolant system offgases from the primary system and providing for delay or holdup for the purpose of reducing the total radioactivity prior to release to the environment.

This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and the design objective given in Section II..D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste treatment system were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, for liquid effluents.
OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 48
3.4 WASTE GAS SYSTEM BASIS The requirement that these systems be used when specified provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonable achievable" (ALARA). This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and the design objectives given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the systems were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Sections II.B and II.C of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, for gaseous effluents.
3.5 LIQUID EFFLUENTS CONCENTRATION BASIS This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be less than 10 times the effluent concentration limits (ECLs) specified in 10 CFR Part 20. This limitation provides additional. assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in UNRESTRICTED AREAS will result in exposures within the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR 50, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBIC. The concentration limit for Xe-133 was determined by calculating that amount of the isotope, which if present in water, would give a dose rate of 500 mrem/yr at the surface. Typically, over 90% of the noble gas released in liquid effluents at CR-3 is Xe-133. The concentration limit for all other 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.

3.6 LIQUID EFFLUENTS DOSE BASIS This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A. Ill-A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The Limiting Condition for Operation implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statement provides the required operating flexibility and at that same time implements 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" (ALARA). The dose calculations in the OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The equations specified in the OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATIONAL. MANUAL (QDCM) for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide. 1.113, "Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidental and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purpose of Implementing Appendix I," April 1977.
3.7 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS DOSE RATE BASIS This specification is provided to ensure that the dose at any time at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY from gaseous effluents will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20, §§ 20.1 - 20.602.
The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, §§ 20.1 - 20.602, Appendix B:,
Table II, Column 1. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, either within or outside the SITE BOUNDARY to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table II of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR Part 20.106(b)(1)). For a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC who may at time be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC 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 to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC 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 a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year.

3.8 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS DOSE NOBLE GASES BASIS This Specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.B, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The.
Limiting Condition for Operation implements the guides set. forth in Section II.B of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required 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 gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA). The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be. substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculational of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977. The equations provided for determining the air doses at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions.
3.9 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS DOSE 1-131, 1-133, TRITIUM, AND RADIOACTIVE PARTICULATE BASIS This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A, and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The Limiting Conditions for Operation are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required 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 materials in gaseous effluent will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable" (ALARA). The calculational methods specified in the Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER. OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The methods for calculating the dose due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases' of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977. These equations also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 51
historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate specifications for 1-131, 1-133, Tritium, and radioactive particulates with half-life greater than eight days are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. The pathways which were examined in the development of these calculations were: 1) Individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leaf 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.
3.10 TOTAL DOSE BASIS This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190 that have now been incorporated into 10 CFR Part 20 by 46 FR 18525. 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 Part 190 if the individual reactors remain within the reporting requirement level. 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 the 40 CFR Part 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 8 km must be considered. If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 190.11 and 10 CFR Part 20.405c, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR Part 190 and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Specifications 2.5 thru 2.9. 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.

3.11i RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM BASIS The radiological monitoring program required by this specification provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the station operation. This monitoring program thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.
The LLD's required by Table 2-9 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. The LLD's for drinking water meet. the requirements of 40 CFR 141.
3.12 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM LAND USE CENSUS BASIS This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census. Adequate information gained from door-to-door or aerial surveys or through consultation with local agricultural authorities shall. be used. 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 (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 assumption were used: 1) that 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) a vegetation yield of 2 kg/square meter.
3.13 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM BASIS The requirement for participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that 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 that the results are reasonably valid.
OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 53
BASES 3.14 EXPLOSIVE GAS MIXTURE This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the Waste Gas Decay Tanks is maintained below the flammability limits of hydrogen and.
oxygen. Maintaining the concentration of hydrogen and oxygen below their flammability limits 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 Part 50.
3.15 WASTE GAS DECAY TANKS Restricting the quantity of radioactivity contained in each waste gas decay tank provides assurance that in the event of a simultaneous uncontrolled release of all the tanks' contents, the resulting total body exposure to an individual at the nearest exclusion area boundary will not exceed 0.5 rem. This is consistent with Branch Technical Position ETSB 11-5.
3.16 WASTE GAS DECAY TANK - EXPLOSIVE GAS MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the Waste Gas Decay Tank explosive gas monitoring instrumentation or the sampling and analysis program required by this specification provides for the monitoring (and controlling) of potentially explosive gas mixtures in the Waste Gas Decay Tanks.
3.17 METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the meteorological instrumentation ensures the sufficient meteorological data is available for estimating potential radiation doses to the public as a result of routine or accidental release of radioactive materials to the atmosphere.
This capability is required to evaluate the needs for initiating protective measures to protect the health and safety of the public.

PRE-RELEASE CALCULATION 1.3-1 GASEOUS RADWASTE RELEASE I. INTRODUCTION Prior to initiating a release of gaseous radwaste, it must be determined that the concentration of radionuclides to be released, and the flow rates at which they are released will not cause the dose rate limitations of Specification 1.1-1 to be exceeded.
II. INFORMATION REQUIRED Results of appropriate Nuclide Analysis from Section 1.2 III. CALCULATIONS Noble Gas Gamma Emissions Dose Rate (Total Body) = I (X/Q)KiQi mrem/yr. (1.1)
Noble Gas Beta Emissions Dose Rate (Skin) = I (X/Q)Qi:(Li + 1.1Mi) mrem/yr. (1.2)
Iodine 131, Iodine 133, Tritium, Radioactive Particulates Dose Rate (I,T,P) = I (X/Q)PiQi mrem/yr. (1.3) where:
Ki = The total body dose factor due to gamma emissions for each identified noble gas radionuclide, in mrem/yr per 3
pCi/m . (See Table 4.4-1).
Li = The skin dose factor due to beta emissions for each 3
identified noble gas radionuclide,in mrem/yr per pCi/m .
(See Table 4.4-1).
Mi = The air dose factor due to gamma emissions for each 3
identified noble gas radionuclide, i.n mrad/yr per pCi/m (unit conversion constant of 1.1 mrem/mrad converts air dose to skin dose). (See Table 4.4-I).
Pi The dose parameter for radionuclides other than noble 3
gases for the inhalation pathway, in mrem/yr per pCi/m .
(See Table 4.4-3).
Qi The release rate of radionuclides, i, in gaseous effluent from individual release sources, in pCi/sec (per unit, unless otherwise specified). Qi = Effluent stream nuclide concentration x flow rate.
OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 66
Flow Rates (Variable - based on setpoint needs, nominal or maximum values listed below.)
- 1) Reactor Building Purge Exhaust Duct = 50,000 cfm =
2.4 x 10' cc/sec
- 2) Auxiliary Building and Fuel Handling Area Exhaust Duct=
156,000 cfm = 7.4 x 10' cc/sec
- 3) Waste Gas Decay Tank Release Line = 50 cfm max =
2.4 x 101 cc/sec (X/Q) = 2.5 x 10' sec/m3 . For all vent releases. The highest calculated annual average relative concentration for any area at or beyond the unrestricted area boundary.
In order for a gaseous release to be within the limits of specification 1.1-1, the Projected Dose Rate Ratio (PDRR) must not exceed 1. The PDRR for each limit is calculated as follows:
PDRRT = PDRTB / 500 (1.4)
PDRR, = PDR / 3000 (1.5)
PDRR,, = PDRORC / 1500 (1.6)
PDRTB = Projected Dose Rate to the TOTAL BODY due to noble gas emissions.
PDRSK = Projected Dose Rate to the SKIN due to noble gas emissions.
PDRORG = Projected Dose Rate to any organ due to inhalation of iodine, tritium and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days.
500 = The allowable total body dose rate due to noble gas gamma emissions in mrem/yr.
3000 = The allowable skin dose rate due to noble gas beta emissions in mrem/yr.
1500 = The allowable organ dose rate in mrem/yr.
Equations 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are solved for each release type and release point currently releasing or awaiting release. If relationships 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 are satisfied, the release can be made under the assumed flow rates. If one or more of the relationships 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 are not satisfied, action must be taken to reduce the the radionuclide release rate prior to initiating a release (or to reduce the radionuclide release rate already in progress).
OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 67
The following actions are available to reduce the release rates at the three release points.
- 1) Waste Gas Decay Tanks a) Release Valve may be throttled b) Tank contents may be diluted c) Release may be delayed for longer decay time.
- 2) Reactor Building Purge Exhaust Duct a) Dilution flow may be opened to reduce purge rate while maintaining the same flow rate.
- 3) Auxiliary Building and Fuel Handling Area Exhaust a) Reduce inlet air supply to areas in Auxiliary Building to reduce radioactivity source rate to vent.
b) Identify and isolate the sources of radioactive releases into the Auxiliary Building.
Effluent Monitor LLD Determination The relationship given below may be used to calculate a monitor LLD.
LLD = (4.661-B)/Slope B = Average monitor background count rate in cpm.
Slope = Slope of monitor calibration curve in cpm/pCi/ml.

PRE-RELEASE CALCULATION 1.3-3 GASEOUS EFFLUENT IODINE MONITORS I. INTRODUCTION In order to determine the setpoints for these monitors, the following assumptions are used.
A. The release rate through the Auxiliary Building and Fuel Handling Area exhaust duct is 7.4 x 10' cc/sec. (156,000 cfm).
B. The release rate through the Reactor Building Purge Exhaust Duct is 2.4 x 10' cc/sec (50,000 cfm).

II. CALCULATIONS The limiting concentration of Iodine in the vent which would result in a concentration equal to the 10 CFR 20 limit at the site boundary is calculated as follows:
Cv = C1/[(X/Q)FK] (1.7) where:
Cv The Concentration of Radioiodine in the vent in pCi/cc.
Ci = The 10 CFR 20 effluent concentration limit for Iodine 131, 2 x 10-" pCi/cc.
F = The duct flow rate: 2.4 x 10 cc/sec for the Reactor Building Purge Exhaust Duct and 7.4 x 10' cc/sec for the Auxiliary Building and Fuel Handling Area Exhaust Duct.
K = Unit conversion constant, I x 10-6 mI/cc X/Q = The highest calculated annual average concentration for any area at or beyond the unrestricted area boundary, 2.5 x 10-1 sec/m3'.
Solving eqn. 1.7 for the Reactor Building Purge exhaust vent yields:

CV(AB) = 1.1 X 10.' pCi/cc OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 70
In order to determine the total quantity of Iodine 131 collected on the filter, the values of C above are multiplied by the volume assumed to have passed through the" filter QI = fkC, (1.8) where:
QI = The total quantity of Iodine 131 collected on the filter, in pCi.
CV = The concentration of Iodine 131 in the vent in pCi/cc.
f = The assumed total volume of vent atmosphere that has passed through the filter, 1.36 x 10' cc (1 CFM for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />).
k = The Iodine removal efficiency of the filters: 90%
Solving eqn. 1.8 for the Reactor Building vent yields:
QI(RB) = 40.8 pCi Solving eqn. 1.8 for the Auxiliary Building and Fuel Handling Area vent yields:

(Continuous Type Releases)
INTRODUCTION The activity released through the Turbine Building Basement Discharge Line Monitor RM-L7 is analyzed in accordance with Section 1.2-5. The setpoint is a fixed concentration based on worst case nuclide released at the worst case rate as described in the Methodology Section below. The monitor setpoint is adjusted to ensure isolation of the release pathway if nuclide concentration limits are exceeded.
METHODOLOGY The alarm/trip setpoint determination is based on the worst case assumption that 1-131 is the only nuclide being discharged. This assumption equates all counts on RM-L7 to 1-131 with an. ECL of 1E-6 uci/ml. 1-131 has the most conservative ECL of the nuclides available to this release path and "visible" to RM-L7. The setpoint is based on assuring 10 ECLs or less of 1-131 in the discharge canal and is determined by deriving the cpm from the RM-L7 calibration curve which corresponds to a concentration of 1E-5 uci/ml and applying the flow dilution factor, background counts, and statistical counting variations. The resulting value is used as the alarm/trip setpoint and RM-L7 is adjusted to this or a more conservative value to maintain control on release conditions.
CALCULATION RM - L7 Setpoint (CPM) = CPN4x(E +D] + Bkg + 33,rBjk where:

Setpoint Calculation 1.4-8 Alternate Setpoints Methodology for RM-L2 and RM-L7 The following method may be employed to establish an upper bound fixed setpoint for RM-L7. Once established, the setpoint need not be changed unless the monitor response or background changes significantly, or there is a significant change in secondary plant activity levels.
This method may also be used to establish setpoints for laundry tanks being released through RM-L2, and for low activity (< monitor LLD) ECSTs.

Representative Sampling Method No. 3.1-5 (Reactor Building With Personnel And Equipment Hatch Opened)
The following guidelines do not apply when the Personnel Hatch or Equipment Hatch is closed, or when a structure, such as a wooden door, is used in lieu of either Hatch. By having one of these hatches closed, sustained drafts through the RB are prevented.
Guidelines:
The Reactor Building purge exhaust fans should be operational and the supply fans shut down. If the purge exhaust must be shut down then either the personnel hatch or equipment hatch openings should be closed if operational conditions allow.
Monitor the Reactor Building recirculation system by using RM-A6 or by taking general area air samples.
Other Considerations:
Run the main purge long enough to assure cleanup of the RB atmosphere.
Degas and depressurize the Reactor Coolant System.
.Note: Refuel 16 outage will require an additional opening in the Reactor Building wall to facilitate steam generator replacement. The above guidelines/considerations still apply with the steam generator replacement opening treated as a second equipment hatch.
Representative Sampling Method No. 3.1-6 (Reactor Building During Integrated Leak Rate Test)
Due to building overpressure, prepurge samples cannot be taken from RM-A6.
Representative gas, iodine, particulate and tritium samples may be obtained from the Intermediate Building containment sampling apparatus or the Post-Accident Sampling System.
Representative gas, iodine, particulate, and tritium samples may also be obtained from RM-A6 prior to pressurizing the RB or RM-A1 samples collected from the prior RB purge permit may be used to generate the ILRT batch release permit if no changes to source term are observed.

4.5 METHODOLOGY FOR CARBON-14 DOSE Carbon-14 may become a principal radionuclide for the gaseous effluent pathway. It is produced by several nuclear reactions. In a nuclear reactor the most dominate mechanism is the reaction of 0-17 in the fuel or water with a neutron to produce C-14 and an alpha particle.
C-14 releases in PWRs occur primarily .as a mix of organic carbon and carbon dioxide released from the waste gas system. Because the dose contribution of C-14 from liquid radioactive waste is much less than that contributed by gaseous radioactive waste, evaluation of C-14 in liquid waste is not required. The dose rate and subsequent dose to an individual from C-14 intake depends upon the specific activity of the food from each source and the amount of the ingested C-14 which is retained over the: period under consideration.
The quantity of C-14 discharged can be estimated by sample measurements, or by use of a normalized C-14 source term and scaling factors based upon power generation, or by use of the GALE code per NUREG-0017. Use of the GALE code per NUREG-0017 Rev 1 "Calculation of Releases of Radioactive Materials in Gaseous and Liquid Effluents from Pressurized Reactors" provides a C-14 source term based on sample measurements made at 10 operating power plants. The C-14 source term recommended by NUREG-0017 Rev 1 is 7.3 curies/year for an 80% capacity factory or 292 Effective Full Power Days. Additionally, if estimating C-14 in gaseous effluent releases is based on scaling factors and fission rates, a precise and detailed evaluation is not necessary. Also, it is not necessary to calculate uncertainties for C-14 or to include C-14 uncertainty in any calculation of overall uncertainty.
In the determination of the limiting sector, all age groups and all of the exposure pathways are evaluated using the highest X/Q, D/Q values at the site boundary as referenced in the CR3 FSAR table 2-20 and in the ODCM dose equations. These could include milk, meat and vegetable ingestion, and inhalation pathways. Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (C02) is incorporated in cellular material by the photosynthetic actions of green plants. Plants and grasses, from which most food-stuff is derived, equilibrate with the C-14 C02 of the air. Due to the Primary Water System reducing environment, only 30% of the C-14 is released in the organic form.
CR3 0DCM Surveillance Requirement 2.12.1 requires that a land-use census survey be conducted on an annual basis. During this survey, the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence, and the nearest garden of greater than 500 square feet that produces fresh leafy vegetables is determined. Thus, depending on the results of the survey, a new limiting location could result. Normally CR-3 uses the site boundary as the nearest receptor, which is more restrictive than the nearest residence.
Regulatory Guide 1.109 provides the detailed implementation guidance to show compliance with Appendix I of 10 CFR 50 limits..

6.1 ORIGIN AND PURPOSE OF THE OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATIONAL MANUAL The Offsite Dose Calculation manual was developed to support the implementation of the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix I., and 10 CFR 50.36.
The purpose of the manual is to provide the NRC with sufficient information relative to effluent monitor setpoint calculations, effluent related dose calculations, and environmental monitoring to demonstrate compliance with radiological effluent controls.
6.2 CHANGES The ODCM shall be changed in accordance with Technical Specifications (ref. ITS 5.6.2.3). In addition, interdepartmental reviews shall be performed as appropriate.
6.3 REVIEW The ODCM and its implementation shall be reviewed every 24 months (ref. FSAR 1.7.1.18)

ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT Cont'd OBJECTIVE 2.4 from NEI 07-07 Document all on-site ground water sample results and a description of any significant on-site leaks/spills into ground water for each calendar year in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) for REMP or the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) for the RETS as contained in the appropriate reporting procedure, beginning with the report for calendar year 2006.
Acceptance Criteria:
- a. The appropriate changes to the ODCM/ODAM or to the appropriate procedures were expected to be completed in a timeframe to support the 2007 report of 2006 performance for plants that were operating or decommissioningwhen the. GPI was adopted. For new plants, appropriate procedures that require inclusion of significant on-site leaks/spills into ground water and all on-site ground water results shall be developed and implemented prior to initial receipt of nuclear fuel.
- b. Reporting of on-site ground water sample results shall be as follows:
i Ground water sample results that are taken in support of the GPI but are not part of the REMP program (e.g. samples obtained during the investigatory phase of the Action Plan circa year 2006) are reported in the ARERR required by 10 CFR 50.36a (a)(2).
ii Once the long-term monitoring sample points have been established per Objective 1.3, acceptance criterion d, the results are reported in the AREOR for those sample points that are included in the REMP as described in the ODCM/ODAM. The sample results for those long-term monitoring sample points that are not included in REMP are reported in the ARERR.
- c. In addition to 2.4.b, voluntary communications shall be included in an annual report as follows:
i A description of all spills or leaks that were communicated per Objective 2.2 acceptance criterion a shall be included in the ARERR.
ii All on-site or off-site ground water sample results that exceeded the REMP reporting thresholds as described in the ODCM/ODAM that were communicated per section 6.7 acceptance criterion b shall be included in either the ARERR and/or in the AREOR.

NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (Cont'd)
NOTE The contact position for the State Official is:
Department of Health Bureau of Radiation Control Environmental Administrator The contact position for the Local Officials are:
Citrus County Emergency Management Director AND Levy County Emergency Management Director NOTE The groundwater beneath CR-3 is too saline and brackish to be a source of potable water and will never be used as a source of drinking water.
Make informal* communication as soon as practicable to appropriate StatelLocal officials, with follow-up notification to the NRC, as appropriate, regarding significant* on-site leaks/spills into ground water and on-site or off-site water sample results exceeding the criteria in the REMP as described in the ODCMIODAM.
Acceptance Criteria:
This guidance provides a threshold for voluntary communication. Some States may require different communication thresholds; the licensee shall document any agreements with State/Local officials that differs from Industry guidance.
- a. Communication to the designated State/Local officials shall be made before the end of the next business day if an inadvertent leak or spill to the environment has or can potentially get into the ground water and exceeds any of the following criteria:
- i. Ifa spill or leak exceeding 100 gallons from a source containing licensed material, ii. Ifthe volume of a spill or leak cannot be quantified but is likely to exceed 100 gallons from a source containing licensed material, or iii. Any leak or spill, regardless of volume or activity, deemed by the licensee to warrant voluntary communication.
To determine whether a leak or spill Would trigger voluntary communication, consider the clarification in the following three text boxes in addition to 2.2.a i to iii above:
LEAK OR SPILL: The "leak or spill" represents an inadvertent event or perturbation in a system or component's performance. This event threshold is intended to ensure that State/Local officials are made aware that there has been an event of interest at the site and to keep them apprised of the licensee's action to contain and, as needed, remediate the event. "Leak or spill" events that meet the criteria shall be communicated regardless of whether or not the on-site ground water is, or could be used as, a source of drinking water.
The quantity of liquid resulting from leaks or spills of solid materials or waste or steam leaks should be evaluated with respect to 2.2.a. i to iii, inclusive.
- see glossary at end of section OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 159
SOURCE CONTAINING LICENSED MATERIAL: A liquid, including steam, for which a statistically valid positive result is obtained when the sample is analyzed to the following a priori lower limits of detection (analytical sensitivity).
The analytical sensitivity for identifying a source containing licensed material is, at a minimum, the licensee's lower limits of detection that are required for radioactive liquid effluents for all isotopes.
POTENTIAL TO REACH GROUND WATER Spills or leaks with the potential to reach ground water:
Spill or leak directly onto native soil or fill, Spill or leak onto an artificial surface (i.e. concrete or asphalt) if the surface is cracked or the material is porous or unsealed, Spill or leak that is directed into unlined or non impervious ponds or retention basins (i.e. water hydrologically connected to ground water).
A spill or leak inside a .buildingor containment unit is generally unlikely to reach ground water, particularly if the building or containment unit has a drain and sump system. However, the sump and drain system should be evaluated as part of the SSC risk assessment.
A spill or leak to a semi-impermeable or impermeable surface that is recaptured or remediated per Objective 1.4 before the close of the next business day does not trigger the voluntary communication protocol.
OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 160
The licensee shall document any agreement with State/Local officials that differs from this Industry guidance as part of their record. For example, some states or local authorities have indicated that they do not wish leaks/spills to be included in the voluntary communication protocol or that the voluntary communication should be completed in a shorter timeframe.
- b. Communication with the designated State/Local officials shall be made before the end of the next business day for a water sample result i Of off-site ground water or surface water that exceeds any of the REMP reporting criteria for water as described in the ODCM/ODAM, or ii Of on-site surface water, that is hydrologically connected to ground water, or ground water that is or could be used as a source of drinking water, that exceeds any of the REMP reporting criteria for water as described in the ODCM/ODAM The licensee shall, document the basis for concluding that the on-site ground water is not or would not be considered a source of drinking water. Examples of a defensible basis are documents from the regulatory agency with jurisdiction over ground water use.
- c. When communicating to the State/Local officials, be clear and precise in quantifying the actual release information as it applies to the appropriate regulatory criteria (i.e. put it in perspective). The following information should be provided as part of the informal communication:
i A statement that the communication is being made as part of the NEI Ground Water Protection Initiative, ii The date and time of the spill, leak, or sample result(s),
iii Whether or not the spill has been contained or the leak has been stopped, iv If known, the location of the leak or spill or water sample(s),
v The source of the leak or spill, if known, vi A list of the contaminant(s) and the verified concentration(s),
vii Description of the action(s) already taken and a general description of future actions, viii An estimate of the potential or bounding annual dose to a member of the public if available at this time, and ix An estimated timeldate to provide additional information or follow-up.
- d. Voluntary communication to State and/or Local officials may also require NRC notification under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi). Licensees should perform these notifications consistent with their existing program.
- e. Contact NEI by email to GW Noticec,,nei.orq as part of a voluntary communication event as described in Objective 2.2.
- f. Contact American Nuclear Insurers (ANI) as part of a voluntary communication event as described in OBJECTIVE 2.2 above.
OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 161
THIRTY-DAY REPORTS OBJECTIVE 2.3 from NEI 07-07 Submit a written 30-day report to the NRC for any water sample result for on-site ground water that is or may be used as a source of drinking water that exceeds any of the criteria in the licensee's existing REMP as described in the ODCMIODAM for 30-day reporting of off-site water sample results. Copies of the written 30-day reports for both on-site and off-site water samples shall also be provided to the appropriate State/Local officials.
Acceptance Criteria:
- a. All ground water samples taken for the. Industry Initiative shall be analyzed.and compared to the standards and limits contained in the station's REMP as described in the ODCM/ODAM. Pre-2006 ODCM/ODAM requirements specify a written 30-day report to the NRC for REMP sample results.that exceed any of the REMP reporting criteria. Under the Initiative, a written 30-day NRC report is also required for all on-site sample results that exceed any of the REMP reporting criteria and could potentially reach the ground water that is or could be used in the future as a source of drinking water. If the ground water is not currently used for drinking water but is potable, each station should consider the ground water as a potential source of drinking water (see objective 2.2 acceptance criterion b for documentation needed to establish a defensible basis for determining the beneficial use(s) of ground water).
The initial discovery of ground water contamination greater than the REMP reporting criterion is the event documented in a written 30-day report. It is not expected that a written 30-day report will be generated each time a subsequent sample(s) suspected to be from the same "plume" identifies concentrations greater than any of the REMP criteria as described in the ODCM/ODAM.
The licensee should evaluate the need for additional reports or communications based on unexpected changes in conditions.
- b. The 30-day special report should include:
i A statement that the report is being submitted in support of the GPI, ii A list of the contaminant(s) and the verified concentration(s),
iii Description of the action(s) taken, iv An estimate of the potential or bounding annual dose to a member of the public, and v Corrective action(s), if necessary, that will be taken to reduce the projected annual dose to a member of the public to less than the limits in 10 CFR 50 Appendix I.
- c. All written 30-day NRC reports generated under item 2.3.a are to be concurrently forwarded to the designated State/Local officials.

6.8 Pathway Exemptions from Appendix I Calculations Crystal River Unit 3's (CR-3) effluents limitations are primarily based on 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, which is the standard for assessing whether a power reactor effluents program is ALARA. 10 CFR 50 Appendix I is implemented by CR-3's Improved Technical Specifications and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). Appendix I limits are significantly lower than the health and safety standards of 10CFR20, and lower than the EPA fuel cycle standard of 40 CFR 190.
To aid licensees in establishing methods to demonstrate compliance with effluent technical specification or ODCM specifications which are based on Appendix I, the NRC issued guidance documents in the form of NUREGs and regulatory guides (e.g. NUREG-0133 and R.G 1.109 being the primary documents). In establishing an effluents program, licensees were required to determine the primary release pathways and receptors and to include these in the routine effluents program. Calculations which are performed to demonstrate compliance with Appendix I derived limits, usually use conservative assumptions which more than compensate for leaving out insignificant pathways.
Regulatory Position C of Regulatory Guide 1.109, provides guidance for determining whethera questionable pathway is significant enough to include in the effluents program (i.e. whether to apply all of the ODCM and Technical specification limitations and sampling and analysis requirements) for purposes of demonstrating compliancewith Appendix I derived limits. Position C states that if the dose.contribution is 10
% or greater than the combination of all other pathways then it should be added to the program. This means that pathways which are <10% of ODCM pathways need not be included in Appendix I dose calculations. When a pathway is suspected or will be created an evaluation should be done. Ifthe results show a significant contribution to off-site exposure (10% or greater) then this pathway should be accounted for in Appendix I calculations. If the pathway is significant and will exist:for a prolonged period it should also be identified in the ODCM. This does not mean that pathways which do not meet this criteria should be ignored or not otherwise evaluated.
Ifa pathway is not included in Appendix I calculations it may still be subject to the 10 CFR 20.. Part 20 and RG 1.109 do not provide explicit descriptions or methods for performing non-ODCM pathway analysis. But part 20 requires that surveys (evaluations) be done. Surveys or evaluations need not be done for every release; a. one-time bounding evaluation can. be done to provide reasonable assurancethat the process will not result in more than a negligible dose.
Releases to the Settling Ponds Releases of tritium contaminated Waste Water to the on-site settling ponds fits the scenario of a pathway that is not significant enough to warrant including in Appendix I dose calculations. CR-3 releases about 400 curies of tritium per year, .of which < 1% is routed to the settling ponds. The dose due to the - 400 Curies tritium released through normal pathways is generally a small fraction (on. the order of 1.0%) of the total dose from all radionuclides. This further diminishes the importance of the dose contribution from tritium released to the ponds to a small fraction of 1% of total dose, a lot less than the 10% criteria of Position C. Releases to the settling ponds have been authorized by the NRC OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Page 164
Settling Ponds - History 1979 - As a result of a violation FPC committed to making no releases to the ponds.
Reference Inspection Report 79-35.
1981 - Installed oily water separator to meet NPDES requirements.
1983 - Letter to. NRC outlining need to make pond releases due to having to take oily water separator offline. Outlined controls including sampling and analysis 1984 - Letter to NRC outlining need to make pond releases due to having to take oily water separator offline. Outlined controls including sampling and analysis. Plan was specific about taking 2 liter samples. Not clear why 2 although it may have been common practice at the time to take 2 liters, with one liter being a backup sample.
1986 - Letter to NRC scope expands scope of pond releases to include any time release could violate any NPDES permit parameter. Use same controls as outlined in 1984 letter. NRC OKs this plan.
1988 - Dose assessment of pond releases shows that a group of releases result in dose on the order of le-5 mrem, a very small fraction of the limit.
