1. The Sample Lower Limit of Detection is defined as an _a_ priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. The values for the lower limit of detection are based on a 95% confidence level.

2. Sampling and analysis shall be performed following shutdown, startup or e thermal power change exceeding 15 percent of rated thermal power within one hour from a steady state ccndition unless (1) analysis shows that the dose equivalent I-131 concentration in the primary coolant has not increased more than a factor of 3, and (2) the noble gas activity monitor shows that effluent activity has not -increased by more than a factor of 3.

Instr umentati on The radioactive gaseous ef fluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous ef fluents during actual or potential !

releases of gaseous effluents. The operability and use of l instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design criteria 60, 63 and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR, Part 50.

System Operation The operability of the gaseous radwaste treatment system ensures that this system will be available for use whenever gaseous ef fluents require treatment prior to release to the environment.

The requirement that appropriate portions of this system be used '

when specified provides reasonable assurance that the releases of

-radioactive materials in gaseous ef fluents will te kept "as low

.as is reasonably achievable". This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR, Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR, Part 50 and design objective Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR, Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the gaseous radwaste treatment system were specified as a suitable fraction of the guidar_ce set forth in Sections II.B and II.C of Appendix I, 10 CFR, Part 50, for gaseous ef fluents.

Main Condenser Restricting the gross radioactivity release rate of noble gases f rom the main condenser provides reasonable assurance that the total body exposure to an individual at the SITE BOUNDARY will not exceed a small fraction of the limits of 10 CFR, Part 100 in the event this ef fluent is inadvertently discharged directly to the envi ronment without treatment.

Specification 3.8.C.8 requires that the primary containment atsosphere receive treatment for the removal of gaseous iodine ano particulates prior to release to provide reasonable assurance that purging operations will not result in exceeding the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 for areas at or beyond the SITE BOUN DARY.

Total Dose This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40

, 4 CFR Part 190 that have now been incorporated into 10 CFR Part 30.

This specification requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses from plant radioactive ef fluents exceed twice the design objective doses of Appendix I. It is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CPR 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 cf 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 kilometers (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 i resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part l 190.11 and 10 CFR Part 20.405c, is considered to be a timely reauest 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 3.11.1 and 3.11.2. 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.

- PBAPS 3.8.E & 4.8.E BASES Monitoring Program The radiological environmental monitoring program required by this specification provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those l radionuclides, which lead to the highest potential radiation I exposures of MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the two reactors at the site. This monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and supplements the radiological ef fluent 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 ef fluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.

The reauired detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of the Minimum Detectable Level (MDL). The MDL's required by Table 4.8.1 and 4.8.2 of the ;

specifications are considered optimum for routine environmental l measurements in industrial laboratories. The monitoring program ,

was developed utiliring the experience of the first seven years of commercial operation. PTogram changes may be initiated based on the additional operational experience.

Land Use Census This specification is provided to ensure that significant changes in the use of areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modifications to the radiological environmental monitoring program are made if required by the results of this censue. This census satisfies the recuirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.

Interlaboratory Comparison Program The requirement for participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program ia 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 for the purposes of Section IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.

I PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM i

FOR PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION j

PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM FOR PBAPS i Solid Radioactive Waste The as-built Solid Radioactive Waste l

System is designed to process wet (spent demineralizer resins and spent filter material) and dry solid wastes. Wet solid wastes are dewatered to preclude free water and packaged in High Integrity containers (HIC). HICs are designed to contain concentrated radwaste materials generated during the removal of oorrosion and activation products from process systems. The specific activity of these materials ranges from trace amounts to no greater than 350 uCi/ce. The predominant radionuclides are Co-60, Cs-137 and En-6 5.

The HICs are molded polyethylene. This material has outstanding dielectric properties, chemical resistance to solvents, acids,

'and alkalles, . toughness, good barrier properties, high environmental., stress cracking resistance, good cold. impact strength, ultraviolet light stability and radiation resistance.

Testing confirms the HICs ability to withstand vibration, drop, compression, puncture and pressure tests. Each container receives a variety of quality control checks to confirm its integrity.

HICs are designed to maintain their physical integrity for 10 half-lives of the longest lived significant icotope. Based on the 30 year half-life of Cs-137, the design HIC lifetime is 300 l years. The HICs currently in use at Peach Bottom station are i utilized for the shipment of solid radwaste to the burial site in l Barnwell, South Carolina. These HICs have been accepted for burial of radwaste by the State of South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control .

Approved procedures are provided and updated at the station for operation of this system in accordance with design.

l The latest guidance from the NRC staf f redefines the PCP as a document that describes the methods and controls for the i processing and packaging of solid radioactive waste. These activities at Peach Bottom are currently controlled by plant procedures to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

Section 6.8.1 of the current Peach Bottom Technical Specification endorses NRC Reguletory Guide 1.33 which in turn requires solid radwaste procedures. Section 6.5.1.6 requires the on-site review committee to review these procedures and modifications to the

> . . . _ .j solid radwaste systems. Modifications are reviewed and reported to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. The Licensee

, proposes to describe the PCP in the Peach Bottom FSAR, and revise in accordance with the annual FSAR update regulation.
