l 2.1.2 Licuid Effluent Concentration Control

/~ ~~

l k._,) In accordance with Technical Specifications 5.5.4.b and 5.5.4.c, the l

concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited at all times to ten times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 for radionuclides other i than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, l

the concentration shall be limited to 1 x 10-4 pCi/mL total activity, l

2.1.2.1 Applicability This limit applies at all times.

2.1.2.2 Actions With the concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS exceeding the limits stated in Section 2.1.2, immediately restore the concentration to within the stated limits.

This control does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes.

f-~g 2.1.2.3 Surveillance Requirements The radioactivity content of each batch of radioactive liquid waste shall be determined by sampling and analysis in accordance with Table 2-3. The results i of radioactive analyses shall be used with the calculational methods in Section 2.3 to assure that the concentration at the point of release is maintained within I

the limits of Section 2.1.2. l l

2.1.2.4 Basis l l

This control is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive l

materials released in liquid waste effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be less l than ten times the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table l

2, Column 2. This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of I radioactive materials in bodies of water in UNRESTRICTED AREAS will result in exposures within (1) the Section II. A design objectivec of Appendix I,10 CFR 50, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, and (2) the limits of 10 CFR 20.1301 to the l

population. 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 x/

\ (ICRP) Publication 2 (1959). The resulting concentration of 2 x 10-4 was then I

l multiplied by the ratio of the effluent concentration limit for Xe-135, stated

.ON in Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1 of 10 CFR 20 (paragraphs 20.1001 to 20.2401),

\ to the MPC for Xe-135, stated in Appendix B, Table II, Column 1 of 10 CFR 20 (paragr,9phs 20.1 to 20.601), to obtain the limiting concentration of 1 x 10-4 pCi/mL.

2.2 LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM

/% l The Vogtle Electric Generating Plant is located on the west bank of the Savannah j River approximately 151 river miles from the Atlantic Ocean. There are two pressurized water reactors on the site. Each unit is served by a separate LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM; however, certain components are shared between the two 1

systems. Schematics of the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS are presented in !

Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 Liquid discharge pathways are shown in Figure 2-3.

All liquid radwastes treated by the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM are collected in 5,000-gallon or 20,000-gallon waste monitor tanks. Releases from the waste monitor tanks are to the discharge line from the blowdown sump, and from there to the Savannah River. The blowdown sump also receives input from the waste water retention basins, turbine plant cooling water blowdown, and nuclear service cooling water blowdown. Additional dilution water is available from the cooling tower makeup water bypass line. 4

{

1 Although no significant quantities of radioactivity are expected in the nuclear service cooling water, the steam generator blowdown processing system, or the turbine building drain system, these effluent pathways are monitored as a precautionary measure. The monitors serving the latter two pathways provide for n automatic termination of releases from these systems in the event that radio-( activity is detected above predetermined levels. These two systems discharge to

}

the waste water retention basin. Sampling and analysis of releases via all three I of these pathways must be sufficient to ensure that the liquid effluent dose i

limits specified in the controls of Section 2.1.3 are not exceeded.

VEGP ODCM 2.3 LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITOR SETPOINTS 2.3.1 General Provisions Recardino Setooints Liquid monitor setpoints calculated in accordance with the methodology presented in this section will be regarded as upper bounds for the actual high alarm setpoints. That is, a lower value for the high alarm setpoint may be established or retained on the monitor, if desired. Intermediate level setpoints should be established at an appropriate level to give sufficient warning prior to reaching the high alarm setpoint. If no release is planned for a particular pathway, or if there is no detectable activity in the planned release, the monitor setpoint should be established as close to background as practical to prevent spurious alarms, and yet alarm should an inadvertent release occur.

Two basic setpoint methodologies are presented below. For radwaste system discharge monitors, setpoints are determined to assure that the limits of Section 2.1.2 are not exceeded. For monitors on streams that are not expected to contain j significant radioactivity, the purpose of the monitor setpoints is to cause an 1 '

alarm on low levels of radioactivity, and tc terminate the release where this is

! LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM effluent line radioactivity monitors are intended to provide alarm and automatic termination of release prior to exceeding the limits specified in Section 2.1.2 at the point of release of the diluted effluent into the UNRESTRICTED AREA. Therefore, their alarm / trip setpoints are established to ensure compliance with the following equation (equation adapted from Addendum to Reference 1):

'*I s TF CECL (3 1)

F+f wheret C ECL = the Ef fluent Concentration Limit corresponding to the mix of radionuclides in the effluent being considered for discharge, in pCi/mL.

e= the setpoint, in pCi/mL, of the radioactivity monitor measuring the l concentration of radioactivity in the effluent line prior to dilution and subsequent release. The setpoint represents a concen-tration which, if exceeded, could result in concentrations exceeding the limits of Section 2.1.2 in the UNRESTRICTED AREA.

f= the effluent flowrate at the location of the radioactivity monitor, in gpm.

F= the dilution stream flowrate which can be assured prior to the release point to the UNRESTRICTED AREA, in gpm. A predetermined dilution flowrate must be assured for use in the calculation of the radioactivity monitor setpoint.

TF = the tolerance factor selected to allow flexibility in the establishment of a practical monitor setpoint which could accommodate effluent releases at concentrat 'ons higher than the ECL values stated in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2; the tolerance factor must not exceed a value of 10.

l While equation (2.1) shot the relationships of the critical parameters that I

l VEGP ODCM l nuclides with different Effluent Concentration Limits (ECLs). For a mixture of radionuclides, equation (2.1) is satisfied in a practicable manner based on the lg' calculated ECL fraction of the radionuclide mixture and the dilution stream flowrate that can be assured for the duration of the release (Fd ), by calculating the maximum permissible effluent flowrate (fm) and the radioactivity monitor setpoint (c) .

The setpoint method presented below is applicable to the release of only one tank of liquid radwaste per reactor unit at a given time. Liquid releases must be controlled administratively to ensure that this condition is met; otherwise, the setpoint method may not ensure that the limits of Section 2.1.2 are not exceeded.

2.3.2.2 Setpoint Calculation Steps Steo 1: Determine the radionuclide concentrations in the liquid waste being considered for release in accordance with the sampling and analysis requirements of Section 2.1.2.

All liquid radwastes treated by the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM are l collected in waste monitor tanks for sampling and analysis. The 5,000-gallon I waste monitor tanks are recirculated for a minimum of 30 minutes, and the 20,000-gallon waste monitor tanks are recirculated for a minimum of 45 minutes. This mixing assures that a representative sample can be taken from the tank.

The total concentration of the liquid waste is determined by the results of all required analyses on the collected sample, as follows:

{ cf =

ca + ECs+Cf+Cr + ECg (2.2) i 3 8 where:

Ca= the gross concentration of alpha emitters in the liquid waste, not less than that measured in the most recent applicable composite sample.

Cs= the concentration of strontium radioisotope s (Sr-89 or Sr-90) in i

the liquid waste, not less than that measured in the most recent !

i applicable composite sample. l Cg = the concentration of Fe-55 in the liquid waste, not less than that I

Q measured in the most recent applicable composite sample.

2-22 Rev. 9

VEGP ODCM Ct= the concentration of H-3 in the liquid waste, not less than that measured in the most recent applicable composite sample.

Cg= the concentration of gamma emitter g in the liquid waste as measured by gamma ray spectroscopy performed on the sample for the release under consideration.

The Cg term will be included in the analysis of each waste sample; terms for gross concentrations of alpha emitters, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55, and tritium will be included in accordance with the sampling and analysis program required for the waste stream (see Section 2.1.2). For each analysis, only ' radionuclides identified and detected above background for the given measurement should be included in the calculation. When using the alternate setpoint methodology of step 5.b, the historical maximum values of C , C, cf, and C; shall be used.

a s Steo 2 Determine the required dilution factor for the mix of radionuclides detected in the waste.

Measured radionuclide concentrations are used to calculate ECL fractions. The ECL fractions are used along with a safety factor to calculate the required dilution factor; this is the minimum ratio of dilution flowrate to waste flowrate that must be maintained throughout the release to ensure that the limits of Section 2.1.2 are not exceeded at the point of discharge into the UNRESTRICTED AREA. The required dilution factor, RDF, is calculated as the sum of the dilution factors required for gamma emitters (RDF )y and for non-gamma-emitters (RDF ny I C-RDF =

In the absence of information regarding the solubility classification of a given radionuclide in the waste stream, the solubility class with the lowest ECL shall be assumed.

For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 1x10~4 pCi/mL. For gross alpha, the ECL shall be 2x10-9 pCi/mL; if specific alpha-emitting radionuclides are measured, the ECL for the specific radionuclide(s) should be used.

Sten 3: Determine the release-specific assured dilution stream flowrate.

Determine the dilution stream flowrate that can be assured during the release period, designated F; d this value is the setpoint for the dilution stream flowrate measurement device.

If simultaneous radioactive releases are planned from the same or different reactor units, the dilution stream must be allocated among all the simultaneous releases. There will only be one such release per unit at a given time, unless there is detectable radioactivity in one of the normally low-radioactivity streams (see Section 2. 3. 3) . Allocation of the dilution stream to multiple release paths is accomplished as follows:

Fdp ~

Fg ( AFp) (2.6)

[

k 2-24 Rev. 9

l VEGP ODCM where:

Fdp = the dilution flowrate allocated to release p thway p, in gpm.

l AFp= the dilution allocation factor for release pathway p. AFp may be assigned any value between 0 and 1 for each active release pathway, under the condition that the sum of the AF p for all active release I pathways for the entire plant site does not exceed 1.

I I Pd= the assured minimum dilution flow for the unit, in gpm.

l In the normal case in which the only release pathways with detectable radio-activity are the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS of each unit, AF p for each unit may be assigned the value of 0.5 to permit releases from either unit to be made without regard to any releases from the other unit; if only one unit's LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM is releasing at a given time, its AFp may be increased proportionately. If more precise allocation factor values are desired, they may be determined based on the relative radiological impact of each active release pathway; this may be approximated by multiplying the RDF of each effluent stream by its respective planned release flowrate, and comparing these values.

i,A If only )ne simultaneous release is being made, its AF pmay be assigned the value of 1, masing Fdp equal to Fd '

For the case where RDF s 1, the planned release meets the limits of Section 2.1.2 without dilution, and could be released with any desired effluent flowrate and dilution flowrate. However, in order to maintain individual doses due to liquid effluent releases as low as is reasonably achievable, no releases with detectable radioactivity should be made if the assured dilution flowrate, F, d is less than 12,000 gpm.

Step 4: Determine the maximum allowable waste discharge flowrate.

For the case where RDF > 1, the maximum permissible effluent discharge flowrate for this release pathway, fmp (in 9pm), is calculated as follows:

Fgp (g q) f = .

(RDF - 1)

I i

For the case RDF s 1, equation (2.7) is not valid. However, as discussed above, I when RDF s 1, the release may be made at full discharge pump capacity; the radio-2-25 Rev. 9 l

VEGP ODCM activity monitor setpoint must still be calculated in accordance with Step 5 below.

NOTE 1: Discharge flowrates are actually limited by the discharge pump capacity. When the calculated maximum permissible release flowrate exceeds the pump capacity, the release may be made at full capacity. Discharge flowrates less than the pump capacity must be achieved by throttling if this is available; if throttling is not available, the release may not be made as planned.

NOTE 2: If, at the time of the planned release, there is detectable radio-activity due to plant operations in the dilution stream, the diluting capacity of the dilution stream is diminished. (In addition, sampling and analysis of the other radioactive effluents af fecting the dilution stream must be suf ficient to ensure that the liquid effluent dose limits specified in the controls of Section 2.1.3 are not exceeded.) Under these conditions, equation (2.7) must be modified to account for the radioactivity present in the dilution stream prior to the introduction of the planned release:

Fdp fr Cir f, = 3_ ,,,_ { (2.8)

(RDF - 1) , 7 Fg i , ECLj, ,

where:

Cg - the measured concentration of radionuclide i in release pathway r that is contributing to radioactivity in the dilution stream, f

r - the effluent discharge flowrate of release pathway r.

If the entire dilution stream contains detectable activity due to plant operations, whether or not its source is identified, fr=F' d and C r is the. concentration in the total dilution system. This note does not apply: a) ;..f the RDF of the planned release is s 1; or b) if the release contributing radioactivity to the dilution stream has been accounted for by the assignrnent of an allocation factor.

b U

2-26 Rev. 9

VEGP ODCM Steo 5: Determine the maximum radioactivity monitor setpoint concentration.

Based on the values determined in previous steps, the radioactivity monitor setpoint for the planned release is calculated to ensure that the limits of l

! Section 2.1.2 will not be exceeded. Because the radioactivity monitor responds primarily to gamma radiation, the monitor setpoint cp for release pathway p (in yCi/mL) is based on the concentration of gamma emitters in the waste stream, as follows:

cp = A p[Cg gg,9; 8

where:

Ap- an adjustment factor which will allow the setpoint to be established in a practical manner to prevent spurious alarms while allowing a margin between measured concentrations and the limits of Section 2.1.2.

Steo 5.a. If the concentration of gamma emitters in the effluent to be released is sufficient that the high alarm setpoint

[ can be established at a level that will prevent spurious alarms, Ap should be calculated as follows:

A Ap = x ADF RDF 1 (Fdp + fap) (2.10) x RDF f ap where:

ADF = the assured dilution factor.

f ap = the anticipated actual discharge flowrate for the planned release (in gpm), a value less than f mp*

The release must then be controlled so that the actual effluent discharge fir ara :e does not exceed f ap at any time.

Steo 5.b. Alternatively, Ap may be calculated as follows:

2-27 Rev. 9

l l

VEGP ODCM ADF - RDl* l' Ap =

(2.11)

RDFy Steo 5.c. Evaluate the computed value of Ap as follows:

If Ap = 1, calculate the monitor setpoint, c. p However, if cp is within about 10 percent of Cg , it may be impractical to use this value of e. p This situation indicates that '

measured concentrations are approaching values which would cause limits of Section 2.1.2 to be exceeded.

Therefore, steps should be taken to reduce potential con-centrations at the point of discharge; these steps may I include decreasing the planned effluent discharge flowrate, increasing the dilution stream flowrate, postponing simultaneous releases, and/or decreasing the ef fluent concentrations by further processing the liquid planned for release. Alternatively, allocation factors for the active liquid release pathways may be reassigned.

When one or more of these actions has been taken, repeat Steps 1-5 to calculate a new radioactivity monitor y/ setpoint.

If Ap < 1, the release may not be made as planned. Consider the alternatives discussed in the paragraph above, and calculate a new setpoint based on the results of the actions taken.

2.3.2.3 Use of the Calculated Setpoint The setpoint calculated above is in the units pCi/mL. The monitor actually measures a count rate, subtracts a predetermined background count rate, and multiplies by a calibration factor to convert from count rate to pCi/mL. .

Initial calibration of the monitors by the manufacturer and Georgia Power Company utilized NIST-traceable liquid solutions with gamma ray emissions over the range 0.08 to 1.33 MeV, in the exact geometry of each production monitor. The calibration factor is a function of the radionuclide mix in the liquid to be released, and will be calculated for the monitor based on the results of the pre-release sample results from the laboratory gamma-ray spectrometer nystem. The l

mix-dependent calibration factor will be used as the gain factor in the PERMS U

2-28 Rev. 9

VEGP ODCM monitor, or used to modify the calculated base monitor setpoint so that the default calibration factor in the PERMS monitor can be left unchanged. l 6 Notwithstanding the initial calibration, monitor calibration data for conversion between count rate and concentration may include operational data obtained from determining the monitor response to stream concentrations measured by liquid sample analysis. In all cases, monitor background must be controlled so that the monitor is capable of responding to concentrations in the range of the setpoint value.

2.3.3 Setnoints for Monitors on Normally Low-Radioactivity Streams Radioactivity in these streams (listed in Table 2-4 above) is expected to be at very low levels, generally below detection limits. Accordingly, the purpose of these monitors is to alarm upon the occurrence of significant radioactivity in these streams, and to terminate or divert the release where this is possible.

2.3.3.1 Normal Conditions When radioactivity in one of these streams is at its normal low level, its radio-activity monitor setpoint should be established as close to background as practical to prevent spurious alarms, and yet alarm should an inadvertent release occur.

2.3.3.2 Conditions Requiring an Elevated Setpoint Under the following conditions, radionuclide concentrations must be determined and an elevated radioactivity monitor setpoint determined for these pathways:

For streams that can be diverted or isolated, a new monitor setpoint must be established when it is desired to discharge the stream directly to the dilution water even though the radioactivity in the stream exceeds the level which would normally be diverted or isolated.

e For streams that cannot be diverted or isolated, a new monitor setpoint must be established whenever: the radioactivity in the stream becomes detectable above the background levels of the applicable laboratory analyses; or the associated radioactivity monitor detects activity in the stream at levels above the established alarm setpoint.

When an elevated monitor setpoint is required for any of these ef fluent streams, it should be determined in the same manner as described in Section 2.3.2.

VEGP ODCM 2.5 LIQUID EFFLUENT DOSE PROJECTZONS l 2.5.1 Thirty-One Day Dose Proiections In order to meet the requirements for operation of the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM (see Section 2.1.4), dose projections must be made at least once each 31 days; this applies during periods in which a discharge to UNRESTRICTED AREAS of liquid effluents containing radioactive materials occurs or is expected.

Projected 31-day doses to individuals due to liquid effluents may be determined j as follows: 1 D7p = x 31 + Dra

i where:

{

l D,p = the projected dose to the total body or organ 7, for the next 31 days of liquid releases.

D,g = the cumulative dose to the total body or organ 7, for liquid releases that have occurred in the elapsed portion of the current quarter, plus the release under consideration, t= the number of whole or partial days elapsed into the current quarter, including the time to the end of the release under consideration (even if the release continues into the next quarter).

Dra = the anticipated dose contribution to the total body or any organ 7, due to any planned activities during the next 31-day period, if those activities will result in liquid releases that are in addition to routine liquid effluents. If only routine liquid effluents are anticipated, D ra may be set to zero.

2.5.2 Dose Proiections for Soecific Releases Dose projections may be performed for a particular release by performing a pre-release dose calculation assuming that the planned release will proceed as anticipated. For individual dose projections due to liquid releases, follow the methodology of Section 2.4, using sample analysis results for the source to be released, c.nd parameter values expected to exist during the release period.

l VEGP ODCM 3.2 GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM i

\ At Plant Vogtle, there are five potential points where radioactivity may be released to the atmosphere in gaseous discharges. These five potential release pathways are: the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Plant Vents; the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Turbine Building Vents; and the Dry Active Waste Processing Building Vent. However, the Turbine Building Vents are not normal release pathways unless a primary-to-secondary leak exists. The figures on the following pages give schematic diagrams of the Gaseous Waste ' Treatment Syst'me and the Ventilation Exhaust Treatment Systems (Reference 11).

The Unit 1 Plant Vent release pathway includes two release sources that are common to the two units: ventilation air from the Fuel Handling Building, and discharges from the GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM. Otherwise, discharges f rom ,

l the two reactor units are separated. Reactor Containment Building ventilation ;

releases are through the respective plant vents. The Turbine Building vent serves as the discharge point for both the condenser air ejector and the steam packing exhauster systen. 1 i

i Releases from the two Turbine Building Vents, and the Dry Active Waste Proceanng l Building Vent are considered to be ground-level releases, whereas releasee from j the two Plant Vents are considered mixed-mode releases. Chapter 8 discusses the

(j calculation of atmospheric dispersion parameters using the ground-level and l mixed-mode (i.e., split-wake) models. All five potential release pathways are l considered to be continuous (as opposed to batch) in nature.

VEGP ODCM 3.3 GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITOR SETPOINTS

[~h t $

L/ 3.3.1 General Provisions Recarding Noble Gas Monitor SetDoints Noble gas radioactivity monitor setpoints calculated in accordance with the methodology presented in this section are intended to ensure that the limits of Section 3.1.2.a are not exceeded. They will be regarded as upper bounds for the actual high alarm setpoints. That is, a lower high alarm setpoint may be established or retained on the monitor, if desired. Intermediate level setpoints should be established at an appropriate level to give sufficient warning prior to reaching the high alarm setpoint.

If no release is planned for a given pathway, or if there is no detectable activity in the gaseous stream being evaluated for release, the setpoint should be calculated in accordance with the methods presented below, based on an assumed concentration of Kr-88 that leads to a practical setpoint. A practical setpoint in this context is one which prevents spurious alarms, and yet produces an alarm should a significant inadvertent release occur.

Section 3.1.1 establishes the requirements for gaseous effluent monitoring i instrumentation, and Section 3.2 describes the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT s SYSTEM and the GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM. From those Sections, it can be seen that certain monitors are located on final release pathways, that is, streams that are being monitored immediately before being discharged from the plant; the setpoint methodology for these monitors is presented in Section 3.3.2.

Other monie. ors are located on source streams, that is, streams that merge with other streams prior to passing a final monitor and being discharged; the setpoint methodology for these monitors is presented in Section 3.3.3. Table 3-4 identifies which of these setpoint methodologies applies to each monitor. Some additional monitors with special setpoint requirements are discussed in Section 3.3.5.

As established in Section 3.1.1, gaseous ef fluent monitor setpoints are required only for the noble gas monitors on certain potential release streams: the two Plant Vents, the two Turbine Building Vents, and the GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM discharge. However,' because of the potential significance of releases from other sources, Section 3.3 discusses setpoint methodologies for certain additional monitors, as well.

t VEGP ODCM l 3.3.2 Setooint for the Final Noble Gas Monitor on Each Release Pathway 3.3.2.1 Overview of Method l Gaseous ef fluent radioactivity monitors are intended to alarm prior to exceeding the limits of Section 3.1.2.a. Therefore, their alarm setpoints are established to ensure compliance with the following equation:

c = the lesser of . (3 1)

AG SF X Rg where:

c= the setpoint, in pCi/mL, of the radioactivity monitor measuring the concentration of radioactivity in the effluent line prior to release. The setpoint represents a concentration which, if exceeded, could result in dose rates exceeding the limits of Section 3.1.2.a at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY.

AG = an administrative allocation factor applied to divide the release limit among all the gaseous release pathways at the site.

SF = the safety factor selected to compensate for statistical fluctuations and errors of measurement.

X= the noble gas concentration for the release under consideration.

Rt= the ratio of the dose rate limit for the total body, 500 mrem /y, l

to the dose rate to the total body for the conditions of the

! release under consideration.

Rk= the ratio of the dose rate limit for the skin, 3000 mrem /y, to the i

! dose rate to the skin for the conditions of the release under

consideration.

l l

Equation (3.1) shows the relationships of the critical parameters that determine the setpoint. However, in order to apply the methodology presented in the equation to a mixture of noble gas radionuclides, radionuclide-specific concentrations and dose factors must be taken into account under conditions of maximum flowrate for the release point and annual average meteorology.

The basic setpoint method presented below is applicable to the radioactivity monitor nearest the point of release for the release pathway. For monitors 3-25 Rev. 9

3.3.2.3 Use of the Calculated Setpoint The setpoint calculated above is in the units pCi/mL. The monitor actually measures a count rate, subtracts a predetermined background count rate, and multiplies by a calibration factor to convert from count rate to pCi/mL.

Initial calibration by the manufacturer and Georgia Power Company of the gaseous ef fluent monitors specified in Oection 3.1.1 utilized at least one NIST-traceable gaseous radionuclide source in the exact geometry of each production monitor.

The point and gaseous sources used covered the beta particle end point energy range from 0.293 MeV to at least 1.488 MeV. The calibration f actor is a function of the radionuclide mix in the gas to be released, and normally will be calculated for the monitor based on the results of the sample results from the laboratory gamma-ray spectrometer system. The mix-dependent calibration factor will be used as the gain factor in the PERMS monitor, or used to modify the calculated base monitor setpoint so that the default calibration factor in the PERMS monitor can be left unchanged.

O Notwithstanding the initial calibration, monitor calibration data for conversion i between count rate e.nd concentration may include operational data obtained from determining the monitor response to stream concentrations measured by sample analysis.

l In all cases, monitor background must be controlled so that the monitor is capable of responding to concentrations in the range of the setpoint value.

Contributions to the monitor background may include any or all of the following factors: ambient background radiation, plant-related radiation levels at the monitor location (which may change between shutdown and power conditions), and internal background due to contamination of the monitor's sample chamber.

1' In order to meet the requirements of the limit for operation of the gaseous radwaste treatment system (see Section 3.1.5), dose projections must be made at least once each 31 days; this applies during periods in which a discharge to areas at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY of gaseous ef fluents containing radioactive materials occurs or is expected.

Projected 31-day air doses and doses to individuals due to gaseous ef fluents may be determined as follows:

Dgp = the projected air dose due to beta emissions from noble gases, for the next 31 days of gaseous releases.

Dge = the cumulative air dose due to beta emissions from noble gas releases that have occurred in the elapsed portion of the current quarter, plus the release under consideration.

D$a = the anticipated - air dose due to beta emissions from noble gas releases, contributed by any planned activities during the next 31-day period, if those activities will result la gaseous releases that are in addition to routine gaseous ef fluents. If only routine gaseous ef fluents are anticipated, Dg, may be aet to zero.

If only routine gaseous effluents are anticipated, Dy, may be set to zero.

Dop = the projected dose to the total body or organ o, due to releases of I-131, I-133, tritium, and particulates for the next 31 days of gaseous releases.

t= the number of whole or partial days elapsed into the current quarter, including the time to the end of the release under consideration (even if the release continues into the next quarter).

3.5.2 Dose Proiections for Specific Releases Dose projections may be performed for a particular release by performing a pre-release dose calculation assuming that the planned release will proceed as anticipated. For air dose and individual dose projections due to gaseous effluent releases, follow the methodology of Section 3.4, using sample analysis results for the gaseous stream to L released, and parameter values expected to exist during the release period.

units.

4.1.1 Radiolocical Environmental Monitorina I

The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) shall be conducted as l

specified in Table 4-1.

l 4.1.1.1 Applicability l This control applies at all times. l 4.1.1.2 Actions i

(n y) 4.1.1.2.1 With the REMP not being conducted as specified in Table 4-1, submit to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), in the Annual Radiological l Environmental Operating Report, a description of the reasons for not conducting l the program as required and the plans for preventing a recurrence. Deviations from the required sampling schedule are permitted if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, unavailability, inclement weather, equipment malfunction, or other just reasons. If deviations are due to equipment malfunction, efforts shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period.

4.1.1.2.2 With the confirmedl measured level of radioactivity as a result of l plant effluents in an envfronmental sampling medium specified in Table 4-1 l

exceeding the reporting levels of Table 4-2 when averaged over any calendar quarter, submit within 30 days a special report to the NRC. The special report l shall identify the cause (s) for exceeding the limit (s) and define the corrective action (s) to be taken to reduce radioactive effluents so that the potential annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is less than the calendar year limits of Sections 2.1.3, 3.1.3, and 3.1.4. The methodology and parameters used to I Defined as confirmed by reanalysis of the original sample, or analysis of g a duplicate or new sample, as appropriate.

When radionuclides other than those in Table 4-2 are detected and are the result of plant effluents, this special report shall be submitted if the potential annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is equal to or greater than the calendar l year limits stated in Sections 2.1.3, 3.1.3, and 3.1.4. This special report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity was not the result of plant effluents; however, in such an event, the condition shall be described in the i Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. The levels of naturally-occurring radionuclides which are not included in the plant's effluent releases I need not be reported.

4.1.1.2.3 If adequate samples of milk, or during the growing season, grass or leafy vegetation, can no longer be obtained from one or more of the sample i locations required by Table 4-1, or if the availability is frequently or persistently wanting, efforts shall be made: to identify specific locations for

! obtaining suitable replacement samples; and to add any replacement locations to the REMP given in the ODCM within 30 days. The specific locations from which samples became unavailable may be deleted from the REMP. Pursuant to Technical Specification 5.5.1, documentation shall be submitted in the next Radioactive l Effluent Release Report for the change (s) in the ODCM, includitag revised figure (s) and table (s) reflecting the changes to the location (s), with supporting information identifying the cause of the unavailability of samples and justifying l the selection of any new location (s) .

/3 The REMP samples shall be collected pursuant to Table 4-1 from the locations !

described in Section 4.2, and shall be analyzed pursuant to the requirements of l Table 4-1 and Table 4-3. Required detection capabilities for thermoluminescent l dosimeters used for environmental measurements shall be in accordance with the I recommendations of Regulatory Guide 4.13. Program changes may be initiated based on operational experience. ,

l Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated MINIMUM DETECTABLE !

CONCENTRATIONS (MDCs) will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidable small se'ple sizes, the presence of i interfering radionuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these !

MDCs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified j and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. l l a

I 4.1.1.4 Basis l

The REMP required by this control provides representative measurements , I radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways, and for those radionuclides, which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of MEMBERS l OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the plant operation. The REMP implements Section !

p

( IV.B.2, Appendix I,10 CFR 50, and thereby supplements the radiological ef fluent monitoring proc ram by measuring concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation, which may then be compared with those expected on the basis of the ef fluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways, j The detection capabilities required by Table 4-3 are within state-of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. l I

VEGP ODCM 4.1.2 Land I.se Census (D

V A land use census shall be conducted and shall identify the following within a l distance of 5 miles in each of the 16 meteorological sectors: the lc, cation of l the nearest milk animal,I the nearest permanent residence, and the nearest garden of greater than 500 square feet producing broad leafy vegetation. Land I within the Savannah River Site is excluded from this census. l 4.1.2.1 Applicability L

This control applies at all times. '

4.1.2.2 Actions j l

4.1.2.2.1 With a land use census identifying a location (s) which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than values currently being calculated in accordance with Section 3.4.3, identify the new location (s) in the next l Radioactive Effluent Release Report. l l

4.1.2.2.2 With a land use census identifying a location (s) which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment (via the same exposure pathway) 20 percent greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained in (v) accordance with Section 4.1.1, add the new location (s) to the REMP within 30 days if samples are available. i The sampling location, excluding control station 1 1

location (s), having the lowest calculated dose or dose commitment (via the same !

exposure pathway) may be deleted from the REMP if new sampling locations are added. pursuant to Technical Specification 5.5.1 s.lbmit in the next Radioactive l

Effluent Release Report any change (s) in the ODCM, including the revised figure (s) and table (s) reflecting any new location (s) and information supporting the change (s).

l 4.1.2.2.3 This control does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes. l 4.1.2.3 Surveillance Requirements The land use census shall be conducted annually, using that information which will provide good results, such as a door-to-door census, a visual census from j automobile or aircraf t, consultation with local agriculture authorities, or some combination of these methods, as feasible. Results of the land use census shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

\ This control is provided to ensure that changes in the use of UNRESTRICTED AREAS are identified and that modifications to the REMP are made if required by the

)

results of this census. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater i than 500 ft2 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/y) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum

! garden size, the following assumptions were made: (1) 20 percent 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/m2 was obtained.

4.1.3.1 Applicability This control applies at all times.

4.1.3.2 Actions With analyses not being performed as required by Section 4.1.3, report the corrective actions taken to prevent a recurrence in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

This control does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes.

4.1.3.3 Surveillance Requirements A summary of the results obtained as part of the required Interlaboratory Comparison Program shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

4.1.3.4 Basis The requirement for participation in an approved 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 for the purposes of Section IV.B.2, Appendix I, 10 CFR 50.

TABLE NOTATIONS i (1) Sample Types:

1 F- Fish i M - Milk {

R - River Weter !

S - River Shoreline Sediment j W- Drinking Water (at water treatment plant)

V - Vegetation (2) The intake for the Augusta Water Treatment Plant is located on the Augusta Canal. The entrance to this canal is at river mile (RM) 207 on the Savannah River. The canal effectively parallels the river.

The intake to the pumping station is about 4 miles down the canal and only 0.1 mile from the river (across land).

(3) About a 5-mile stretch of the river is generally needed to obtain adequate fish samples. Samples are normally gathered between RM 153 l l and 150 for upriver collections and between RMs 144 and 149.4 for j downriver collections.

(4) diment is collected at locations with existing or potential creaticnal value. High water shif ting of the river bottom or other easons could cause a suitable location for sediment collection to become unavailable or unsuitable. Thus, a stretch of river between RM 148.5 and 150.5 is designated for downriver sediment collections, Q(~'N while a stretch between RM 153 and 154 is designated for upriver collections. In practice, collections are normally made at RM 150.2 for downriver collections and at RM 153.3 for upriver collections.

(5) The intake for the Beaufort-Jasper Water Treatment Plant is located at the end of a canal which begins at RM 39.3 on the Savannah River.

This intake is about 16 miles by line of sight down the canal from its beginning on the Savannah River.

l l

(6) The intake for the Cherokee Hill Water Treatment Plant is located on Abercorn Creek, which is about one and a quarter creek miles from its mouth on the Savannah River at RM 29.

VEGP ODCM CHAPTER 5 O TOTAL DOSE DETERMINATIONS 5.1 LIMIT OF OPERATION In accordance with Technical Specification 5.5.4.j, the dose or dose commitment l to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC over a calendar year, due to releases of radio-activity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources, shall be limited to less than or equal to 25 mrem to the total body or any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem.

5.1.1 Aeolicability This limit applies at all times.

5.1.2 Actions With the calculated doses from the release of radioactive materials in liquid or gaseous ef fluents exceeding twice the limits of Section 2.1.3, 3.1.3, or 3.1.4, calculations shall be made according to Section 5.2 methods to determine whether the limits of Section 5.1 have been exceeded. If these limits have been

( ,j exceeded, prepare and submit a special report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission within 30 days, which defines the corrective actions to be taken to reduce subsequent releases to prevent recurrence of exceeding the limits of Section 5.1 and includes the schedule for achieving conformance with the limits of Section 5.1. This special report, as defined in 10 CFR 20.2203, shall also l include an analysis which estimates the radiation exposure (dose) to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from uranium fuel cycle sources (including all effluent pathways and direct radiation) for the calendar year that includes the release (s) covered by this report. This special report shall also describe the levels of radiation and !

concentrations of radioactive material involved, and the cause of the exposure levels or concentrations. If the estimated dose (s) exceeds the limits of Section 5.1, and if the release condition resulting in violation of the provisions of 40 CFR 190 has not already been corrected, the special report shall include a l request for variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190 and including the specified information of 40 CFR 190.11(b) . Submittal of the report l is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on I

the request is complete.

This control does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes.

() Cumulative dose contributions from liquid and gaseous effluents and from direct radie- - 9 hall be determined in accordance with Section 5.2. This requirement is applicable only under the conditions set forth above in Section 5.1.2. l 5.1.4 Basis This control is provided to meet the dose limitations and reporting requirements of 40 CFR 190. The control requires the preparation and submittal of a special report whenever the calculated doses from plant radioactive ef fluents exceed the limits of Section 5.1. For sites containing up to 4 reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose design objectives of Appendix I and if direct radiation doses from the units, l such as direct exposure from outside storage tanks, are kept small. The special l report will describe a course of action which should result in the limitation of dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC for a calendar year to within the 40 CFR 190 limits. For the purposes of the special report, it may be assumed that the dose l commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible with the exception that dose contributions from other uranium fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 5 miles must be

!n v)

! considered. If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the i

requirements of 40 CFR 190, the special report with a request for variance l (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 and 10 CFR 20.2203 (a) (4) , is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the i 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 requirements for dose limitation as addressed in other sections of this ODCM.

An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation which is part of the nuclear fuel cycle.

These models should also be used whenever it is necessary to calculate values of these parameters for new locations of interest.

Note: Although Plant Vogtle has no pure elevated releases, the sections on elevated-mode calculations (8.1.2 and 8.2.2) are included for convenience in calculating mixed-mode values, and to preserve section number compatibility with the ODCMs of the other Southern Company nuclear power plants.

8.1 ATMOSPHERIC DISPERSION Atmospheric dispersion may be calculated using the appropriate form of the sector-averaged Gaussian model, Gaseous release elevations may be considered to be either at ground-level, elevated, or mixed-mode.

VEGP ODCM CHAPTdR 10 DEFINITIONS OF EFFLUENT CONTROL TERMS u)

The terms defined in this chapter are used in the presentation of the above chapters. These terms are shown in all capital letters to indicate that they are specifically defined.

10.1 TERMS SPECIFIC TO THE ODCM The following terms are used in the ODCM, but are not found in the Technical Specifications:

ACTION (S)

An ACTION shall be that part of a control that prescribes remedial measures required under designated conditions.

BATCH RELEASE A BATCH RELEASE is the discharge of wastes of a discrete volume. Prior to sampling for analyses, each liquid batch shall be isolated and then thoroughly mixed by a method described in the ODCM to assure representative sampling.

COMPOSITE SAMPLE A COMPOSITE SAMPLE is one which contains material from multiple waste releases, in which the quantity of sample is proportional to the quantity of waste discharged, and in which the method of sampling employed results '

in a specimen that is representative of the wastes released. Prior to analyses, all liquid samples that are to be aliquetted for a COMPOSITE SAMPLE shall be mixed thoroughly, in order for the COMPOSITE SAMPLE to be representative of the effluent release.

When assessing the consequences of a waste release at the pre-release or post-release stage, the most recent available COMPOSITE SAMPLE results for the applicable release pathway may be used.

CONTINUOUS RELEASE A CONTINUOUS RELEASE is the discharge of wastes of a non-discrete volume, e.g., from a volume within a system that has an input flow during the continuous release. To be representative of the quantities and concen-trations of radioactive materials in CONTINUOUS RELEASES of liquid ef fluents, samples shall be collected in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream or to the quantity of liquid waste discharged. i b))

GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM A GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM shall be any system designed and installed to reduce radioactive gaseous effluents by collecting Reactor l Coolant System offgases from the Reactor Coolant System and providing for l delay or holdup for the purpose of reducing the total radioactivity prior to release to the environment.

LIOUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM A LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM is any system designed and installed to reduce radioactive materials in liquid effluents by systematic collection, retention, and processing through filtration, evaporation, separation and/or ion exchange treatment. This system consists of at least one collection tank, one evaporator or demineralizer system, one post-treatment tank and associated components providing for treatment flow and functional control.

MAJOR CHANGES TO RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS For the purposes of the ODCM, MAJOR CHANGES TO RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS include the following changes to such systems:

(1) Major changes in process equipment, components, structures, or effluent monitoring instrumentation as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) or as evaluated in the Nuclear 10-2 Rev. 11 l

VEGP ODCM Regulatory Commission staff's Safety Evaluation Report (SER) (e.g.,

[

M deletion of evaporators and installation of demineralizers);

(2) Changes in the design of radwaste treatment systems that could significantly increase quantities of effluents released from those previously considered in the FSAR and SER; i

(3) Changes in system design which may invalidate the accident analysis as described in the SER (e.g. , changes in tank capacity that would ;

alter the curies released); or l

(4) Changes in system design that could potentially result in a I significant increase in occupational exposure of operating personnel (e.g., use of temporary equipment without adequate shielding provisions) .

MEMBER ( S) OF THE PUBLIC I A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC means any individual except when that individual is receiving an occupational dose.2 This category may include persons who use portions of the site for recreational, occupational, or other purposes not associated with the plant.

A MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRATION l The MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRATION (MDC) is defined, for purposes of the controls in this ODCM, as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count above system background and 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, the MDC for a given radionuclide is determined as follows (Reference 18):

l where:

MDC = the a priori MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRATION (pCi per unit mass or volume).
