iodines or particulates from the gaseous exhaust stream prior.to the release to the environment (such a system is L not considered to have any effect on noble gas effluents).

According to Subsection 3.5.3.4 of the report, releases of radionuclides in gaseous effluents were calculated using the PWR-GALE computer program and the parameters listed in Table 3.5-5.

- This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered. l Other peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the above nuclides, l shall also be analyzed and reported in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
b Required detection capabilities for thermoluminescent dosimeters used for environmental measurements are given in Regulatory Guide 4.13. 1
- The LLD is defined, for purposes of these specifications, as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with 95 percent probability with only 5 percent probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.
For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:

- V + 2.22 + Y + exp (- Alt) where:
LLD = the "a priori" lower limit of detection (picoCuries per unit I mass or volume),
\_/ s s = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of b the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),
E = the counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),
V = the sample size (units of mass or volume),
2.22 = the number of disintegrations per minute per picocurie, Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable, A = the rgdioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide, (sec ), and At = the elapsed time between sample collection, or end of the sample collection period, and time of counting (sec).
Typical values of E, V, Y, and At should be used in the calculation.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before ;
the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system j and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular l measurement. Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the j stated LLDs will be achieved under routine condit. ions. Occasionally ;
