Effluents 1.1 Regulatory Requirements
1.1.1 Concentration
Limits In accordance with Technical Specification 5.5.4.b, the 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 than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 1 E-04 1 iCi/ml total activity.1.1.2 Dose Limits The dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released, from each unit, to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited as follows: a. During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrems to the whole body and to less than or equal to 5 mrems to any organ, and b. During any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mrems to the whole body and to less than or equal to 10 mrems to any organ.1.2 Effluent Concentration Limit (ECL)ECL values used for determining the allowable liquid radwaste release rates and concentrations for the principal gamma emitters, 1-131, tritium, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 are taken from 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. A tolerance factor of up to 10 is utilized to allow flexibility in establishing practical monitor set points which can accommodate effluent releases at concentrations higher than the ECL values stated in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.For dissolved or entrained noble gases in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 1 E-04 pCi/ml total activity.For gross alpha in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 2 E-09 ptCi/ml.For all the above radionuclides or categories of radioactivity, the overall ECL fraction is determined in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B. The method utilizing the ECL fraction to determine release rates and liquid radwaste effluent radiation monitor set points is described in Subsection 1.3 of this report.Page 92 of 503 1.3 1.3.1 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity Total Radioactivity Determination Prior to the release of any tank containing liquid radwaste, and following the required recirculation, samples are collected and analyzed in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Table 2-3"Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program". A sample from each tank which is planned for release is analyzed for principal gamma emitters, 1-131, and dissolved and entrained noble gases by gamma spectroscopy. Monthly and quarterly composites are prepared for analysis by extracting aliquots from each sample taken from the tanks, which are released. Liquid radwaste sample analyses are performed as follows: MEASUREMENT
- 1. Gamma Isotopic 2. Dissolved or entrained noble gases 3. Tritium 4. Gross Alpha 5. Sr-89 & Sr-90 FREQUENCY Each Batch Each Batch Monthly Composite Monthly Composite Quarterly Composite METHOD Gamma Spectroscopy with computerized data reduction.

1.3.1 Total
Radioactivity Determination cont'd Gamma isotopic measurements are performed using germanium detectors with a resolution of 2.1 keV or lower. A peak search of the resulting gamma ray spectrum is performed by the computer system. Energy and net count data for all significant peaks are determined, and a quantitative reduction or MDC calculation is performed. This ensures that the MDC's are met for the nuclides specified in ODCM Chapter 10 (i.e., Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-1 34, Cs-1 37, Ce-141 and Ce-144). The quantitative calculations, corrections for counting time, decay time, sample volume, sample geometry, detector efficiency, baseline counts, branching ratio and MDC calculations, are made based on the counts at the location in the spectrum where the peak for that radionuclide would be located, if present.Tritium, Gross Alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55 and Ni-63 are, in some cases, analyzed offsite.ECL fraction is determined using radionuclide concentrations of a tank planned for release, the most current results available for tritium, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55 and Ni-63 and the corresponding ECL values.This ECL fraction is used, with appropriate safety factors, tolerance factors, and the minimum assured dilution stream flow to calculate maximum permissible release rates and a liquid effluent monitor setpoint. The monitor setpoint is calculated to assure that the limits of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) are not exceeded.A monitor reading in excess of the calculated setpoint results in an automatic termination of the liquid radwaste discharge. Liquid effluent discharge is also automatically terminated if the dilution stream flow rate falls below the minimum assured dilution flow rate used in the setpoint calculations and established as a setpoint on the dilution stream flow monitor.Radionuclide concentrations, safety factors, dilution stream flow rate, and liquid effluent radiation monitor calibrations are entered into the computer and a pre-release printout is generated. If the release is not permissible, appropriate warnings will be displayed on the computer screen. If the release is permissible, it is approved by the Chemistry Department and sent to the Operations Department for approval and release. When the release is completed, the necessary data from the release (i.e., release volume, etc.) are provided by the Operations Department to the Chemistry Department. These data are input to the computer and a post-release printout is generated. The post release printout contains the actual release rates, release concentrations and quantities, actual dilution flow, and calculated doses to an individual. Typically achieved liquid effluent sample analyses minimum detectable concentrations are reported in Table 1-4.Page 94 of 503
1.3.2 Total
Error Estimation The total or maximum error associated with the effluent measurement includes the cumulative errors resulting from the total operation of sampling and measurement. Because it may be very difficult to assign error terms for each parameter affecting the final measurement, detailed statistical evaluation of error is not suggested. The objective should be to obtain an overall estimate of the error associated with measurements of radioactive materials released in effluents (Reference Reg. Guide 1.23 Rev 1). Total Error is calculated by the root mean square method. The root mean square value is the square root of the arithmetic mean (average) of the squares of the original values.a.

2.2 Measurements
and Approximations of Total Radioactivity
2.2.1 Sample
Collection and Analysis Gaseous Effluents at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant are currently confined to five paths: plant vents (Unit 1 and Unit 2), the condenser air ejector, the steam packing exhauster systems (Unit 1 and Unit 2), and the Radwaste Processing Facility (RPF).Waste gas decay tanks are batch released through the Unit 1 plant vent. The containment purges are released through their respective plant vents.Containment atmosphere is also released via the containment equipment hatch during periods when the equipment hatch is open with containment purge/vent being stopped. Approval was granted by the NRC to open the equipment hatch during fuel movement; a release permit is generated when the equipment hatch is opened and the containment exhaust fan is not discharging to the plant vent.Any detected activity in the containment equipment hatch permit is included in the Ground Release Table of the effluent report.All of the paths with the exception of the RPF can be continuously monitored for gaseous radioactivity. The RPF is equipped with an integrated-type sample collection device for collecting particulates. Plant vent, containment, steam jet air ejector, steam-packing exhauster are equipped with an integrated-type sample collection device for collecting particulates and iodines. During this reporting period, there were no continuous radioactive releases through the condenser air ejector and the steam packing exhauster system vents. Batch Waste Gas Decay Tank releases are analyzed for noble gases before each release. The containment atmosphere is analyzed for noble gases prior to each release and for tritium at least on a monthly basis.Sample analysis results and release flow rates form the basis for calculating released quantities of radionuclide specific radioactivity, dose rates associated with gaseous releases, and cumulative doses for the current quarter and year.With each release period and batch release, radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are calculated. Cumulative dose results are tabulated, along with the percent of the ODCM limits for each release for the current quarter and year.Typically achieved minimum detectable concentrations for gaseous effluent sample analyses are reported in Table 2-6.Page 124 of 503
2.2.2 Total
Quantities of Radioactivity, Dose Rates, and Cumulative Doses The methods for determining release quantities of radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are as follows: 2.2.2.1 Fission and Activation Gases The released radioactivity is determined from sample analysis results collected as described above and average release flow rates over the period represented by the collected sample. Dose rates due to noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates are calculated. Calculated dose rates are compared to the dose rate limits specified in ODCM 3.1.2 for noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates. Dose rate calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.Beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are calculated for the location in the unrestricted area with the potential for the highest exposure due to gaseous releases. Air doses are calculated for each release period and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the calendar quarter and year. Cumulative air doses are compared with the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.3. Current percent of the ODCM limits are shown on the printout for each release period. Air dose calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.2.2.2.2 Radioiodines, Tritium and Particulate Releases The released quantities of radioiodines, tritium and particulates are determined using the weekly samples and release flow rates for the two plant vent release points.After each quarter, the particulate filters from each plant vent are combined, for strontium analysis. Strontium concentrations are input to the composite file of the computer to be used for release dose rate and individual dose calculations. Doses to a Member of the Public due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates are calculated for the controlling receptor, which is described in Table 3-7of the ODCM. Doses are calculated for each release period, and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the current calendar quarter and year. Cumulative doses are compared to the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.4.Current percent of ODCM limits are shown in this report for each release period.2.2.2.3 Gross Alpha Release The gross alpha release is calculated each month by counting the particulate filters for each week for gross alpha activity. The four or five weeks' numbers are then recorded on a data sheet and the activity is summed at the end of the month. This concentration is used for release calculations. Page 125 of 503
2.2.3 Total
Error Estimation The total or maximum error associated with the effluent measurement will include the cumulative errors resulting from the total operation of sampling and measurement. Because it may be very difficult to assign error terms for each parameter affecting the final measurement, detailed statistical evaluation of error are not suggested. The objective should be to obtain an overall estimate of the error associated with measurements of radioactive materials released in liquid and gaseous effluents and solid waste.Estimated errors are based on errors in counting equipment calibration, counting statistics, vent-flow rates, vent sample flow rates, non-steady release rates, chemical yield factors, and sample losses for such items as charcoal cartridges. Total Error is calculated by the root mean square method. The root mean square value is the square root of the arithmetic mean (average) of the squares of the original values.a.

Data are presented on a quarterly basis as required by Regulatory Guide 1.21 Rev. 1.To complete table 2-1A, and 2-1 B, the total release for each of the four categories (fission and activation gases, iodines, particulates, and tritium) was divided by the number of seconds in the quarter to obtain a release rate in pLCi/second for each category. However, the percent of the ODCM limits are not applicable because VEGP has no curie limits for gaseous releases. Applicable limits are expressed in terms of dose. Noble gases are limited as specified in ODCM 3.1.2. The other three categories (tritium, radioiodines, and particulates) are limited as a group as specified in ODCM 3.1.2.Dose rates due to noble gas releases and due to radioiodines, tritium, and particulate releases were calculated as part of the pre-release and post-release permits. No limits were exceeded for this reporting period.Gross alpha radioactivity is reported in Table 2-1A, and 2-1B as curies released in each quarter.Limits for cumulative beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are specified in ODCM 3.1.3. Cumulative air doses are presented in Table 2-4A, and 2-4B along with the percent of the ODCM limits.Page 127 of 503 Limits for cumulative doses to a Member of the Public due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates, are specified in ODCM 3.1.4. Cumulative doses to a Member of the Public are presented in Table 2-5A, and 2-5B along with percent of ODCM limits.2.4 Radiological Impact Due to Gaseous Releases Dose rates due to the release of noble gases were calculated for the site in accordance with ODCM 3.4.1.1. Dose rates due to radioiodines, tritium, and particulates in gaseous releases were calculated in accordance with ODCM 3.4.1.2.Dose rates were calculated as part of pre-release and post release permits. No limits were exceeded for this reporting period.Cumulative air doses due to noble gas releases were calculated for each unit in accordance with ODCM 3.4.2. These results are presented in Tables 2-4A and 2-4B.Cumulative doses to a Member of the Public were calculated for each unit in accordance with ODCM 3.4.3. These results are presented in Tables 2-5A and 2-58.Dose rates and doses were calculated using the methodology presented in the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.2.5 Gaseous Effluents -Batch Releases Other data pertinent to batch releases of radioactive gaseous effluent from Unit 1 and Unit 2 are listed in Table 2-7A and 2-7B.2.6 Gaseous Effluents -Abnormal Releases There were no abnormal releases for 2013.Page 128 of 503 Table 2-1A VogUe Electric Generating Plant RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT -2013 Gaseous Effluents -Summation Of All Releases Unit: 1 Startina: 1-Jan- 2013 Ending: 31-Dec-2013 Tvye of Effluent Units 1ST Ouarter 2ND Ouarter 3RD Ouarter 4TH Ouarter A.

In lieu of submission with the Radioactive Effluent Release Report, the licensee has the option of retaining this summary of required meteorological data on site in a file that shall be provided to the NRC upon request.7.0 Program Deviations
7.1 Inoperable
Liquid or Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation
7.1.1 Regulatory
Requirement ODCM 7.2.2.6 states in part that the report shall include deviations from the liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation operability requirements included in Sections 2.1.1 and 3.1.1, respectively. The report shall include an explanation as to why the inoperability of liquid or gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation was not corrected within the specified time requirement. Page 180 of 503
7.1.2 Description
of Deviations The inoperability of liquid and gaseous effluent monitors not corrected within the specified time for this reporting period is detailed below.Overall, resources and major projects effected the amount resources that were allocated to repairing the monitors. During the first half of the year, there were two new radiation monitors installed and a forced maintenance outage. When applicable, compensatory measures were utilized: a. 1RE-12839 This monitor was out of service due to a failed sample pump and a bad heat trace circuit. Work to return to service overlapped with work for 2RE-1 2839.This monitor was returned to service after 36 days.b. 1FT-1085A This transmitter has been delayed with repair because of the unavailability of parts. A new transmitter arrived in September 2013 and was returned to service.c. IFT-12839 Due to a failed calibration, the transmitter was sent offsite for repair.As a result, it was out of service greater than 30 days.d. 1FIS-12862 The flow switch was discovered malfunctioning while performing a work order. Repair will be targeted for this year.e. 2RE-0018 The flow balance valve malfunctioned preventing the throttle of flow for the radiation monitor. The original work instructions were revised to include a total valve rebuild. The time that it took to develop new work instructions and create a clearance for the system extended the out of service time for the monitor. It has been returned to service.f. 2RE-0020B The radiation monitor's skid pump would trip intermittently. Troubleshooting and replacement of the pump lasted for approximately a week from the start date. As a result, the monitor was returned to service in 33 days.Later in the year, the motor and starter switch was replaced. This was delayed as a result of the forced maintenance outage. It has been returned to service.g. 2RE-0848 This monitor was declared out of service when the low voltage power supply failed. The CPU board was replaced. Work orders related to repairing Turbine Drain Header valves extended the out of service time beyond 30 days. The monitor is now in service.Page 181 of 503
- h. 2FT-12442 At the beginning of the year, this transmitter was declared out of service when it was found out of tolerance for voltage. The transmitter was sent offsite for repair which caused it to be out of service for > 30 days.This flow transmitter was taken out of service after failing a comparison with 2FT-12835 in September 2013. The transmitter is in service.i. AF17620A Dilution flow indication was reading incorrectly.
It is planned to be repaired this year.j. AFQ17620 This totalizer was not incrementing correctly. Due to parts obsolescence, an equivalency determination had to be performed to make the repair. It has been returned to service.7.2 Tanks Exceeding Curie Content Limits 7.2.1 Regulatory Requirements ODCM 7.2.2.6 states in part that the report shall include a description of the events leading to liquid holdup tanks or gas storage tanks exceeding the limits of Technical Specifications 5.5.12.7.2.2 Description of Deviations Limits for outdoor liquid hold-up tanks used for radioactive liquids were not exceeded during this reporting period.Limits for the gas storage tanks were not exceeded during this reporting period.8.0 Changes to the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)8.1 Regulatory Requirements ODCM 7.2.2.5 states in part that changes to the ODCM shall be submitted with the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. These changes may be due to changes in the radiological environmental monitoring program sampling locations as required by ODCM 4.1.1.2.3 or changes to dose calculation locations as required by ODCM 4.1.2.2.2. Land uses Page 182 of 503 and dose calculation locations within five miles of VEGP must be determined by a land use census as required by ODCM 4.1.2.8.2 Description of Changes Version 29 of the "OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL FOR SOUTHERN NUCLEAR OPERATING COMPANY VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT" was released in February 2013. The following changes were made: 1) A correction to the Dose Equivalent 1-131 definition for thyroid conversion factors. The ODCM reference stated that the factors were from Table E-7 of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109, Revision 1, 1977 while Chapter 15 of the VEGP FSAR, Table 15A-5 has a footnote that states these factors are from Table 2.1 of the EPA Federal Guidance Report 11 (EPA-520/1-88-020). The FSAR definition takes precedence over the ODCM definition. The software that uses these dose conversion factors already contained the correct conversion factors.2) Equation 2.7 contained a typo with operational signs. Variables fas and Xis should be multiplied instead of summed for the desired results.3) Action Statement 51 was revised to account for the ability to analyze fixed filter paper with gamma spectroscopy after new radiation monitors were installed for the Plant Vent System.9.0 Major Changes to Liquid, Gaseous, or Solid Radwaste Treatment Systems 9.1 Regulatory Requirements ODCM 7.2.2.7 states in part: As required by Sections 2.1.5 and 3.1.6, licensee initiated MAJOR CHANGES TO RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS (liquid and gaseous) shall be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report covering the period in which the change was reviewed and accepted for implementation. Note 1: In lieu of inclusion in the Radioactive Effluents Release Report, this same information may be submitted as part of the annual FSAR update.PCP 12.1 states in part: Page 183 of 503 Licensee major initiated changes to the solid radioactive waste treatment system shall be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change was implemented.
9.2 Description
of Major Changes Gaseous Radwaste System There were no major changes to the gaseous radwaste systems in the 2013 assessment period.Liquid Radwaste System Major changes to the liquid radwaste facilities are those that contribute to significant changes in release; i.e., either decreases or increases in release volume or activity/dose. There were no major changes to the liquid radwaste systems occurred during the 2013 assessment period.Solid Radwaste System There were no major changes to the solid radwaste systems in the 2013 assessment period.Page 184 of 503 Appendix A Vogtle Electric Generating Plant CARBON- 14 Carbon-14 (C-14) is a naturally-occurring radionuclide with a 5730 year half life. Nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s significantly increased the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere. Nuclear power plants also produce C-14, but the amount is infinitesimal compared to what has been distributed in the environment due to weapons testing and what is produced by natural cosmic ray interactions. As nuclear plants have improved gaseous waste processing systems and improved fuel performance, the percentages of "principal radionuclides" in gaseous effluents have changed, and C-14 has become a larger percentage. "Principal radionuclides" are determined based on public dose contribution or the amount of activity discharged compared to other radionuclides of the same effluent type. In Revision 2 (June 2009) of Regulatory Guide 1.21 (RG 1.21), "Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste," the NRC recommended re-evaluating"principal radionuclides" and reporting C-14 as appropriate. In 2010 Radioactive Effluent Release Reports, virtually all U. S. nuclear power plants started reporting C-14 amounts released and resulting doses to the maximally exposed member of the public.Because C-14 is considered a hard-to-detect radionuclide which must be chemically separated from the effluent stream before it can be measured, RG 1.21 provides the option of calculating the C-14 source term based on power generation. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) developed an accepted methodology for calculating C-14, and published the results in Technical Report 1021106 (December 2010), "Estimation of Carbon- 14 in Nuclear Power Plant Gaseous Effluents." Evaluation of C- 14 in radioactive liquid effluents is not required because the quantity and dose contribution has been determined to be insignificant. At Plant Vogtle, the annual quantity of C-14 released in gaseous effluents was estimated to be 12.08 Curies (per unit). Approximately 30% of the C-14 released is in the form of 1 4 C0 2 and is incorporated into plants through photosynthesis. Ingestion dose results from this pathway. The remaining 70% is estimated to be organic. Both the organic and inorganic forms of C-14 contribute to inhalation dose. A child is the maximally exposed individual, and bone dose is the highest organ dose. Using the dose calculation methodology from the Vogtle ODCM, the resulting bone dose to a child located at the controlling receptor location would be 8.46E-02 mrem in a year which is 0.56% of the regulatory limit of 15 mrem per year (per unit) to any organ due to gaseous effluents. The resulting total body dose to a child located at the controlling receptor location would be 1.69E-02 mrem in a year which is 0. 11% of the regulatory limit of 15 mrem per year (per unit) total body dose due to gaseous effluents Page 185 of 503 Appendix B Vogtle Electric Generating Plant CORRECTED REPORTS This section contains corrected reports for typos contained in the 2011 and 2012 Annual Radiological Effluent Release Reports: 2011 Report Table 2-5A/U 1 Year to Date -The exponential term for Organ doses were truncated due to formatting.

As such, it describes the methodology and parameters to be used in the calculation of offsite doses due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents, and in the calculation of liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation alarm setpoints. In addition, it contains the following:
- The controls required by the Technical Specifications, governing the radioactive effluent and radiological environmental monitoring programs.* Schematics of liquid and gaseous radwaste effluent treatment systems, which include designation of release points to UNRESTRICTED AREAS.* A list and maps indicating the specific sample locations for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program." Specifications and descriptions of the information that must be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report and the Radioactive Effluent Release Report required by the Technical Specifications.
The ODCM will be maintained at the plant for use as a reference guide and training document of accepted methodologies and calculations. Changes in the calculational methods or parameters will be incorporated into the ODCM in order to ensure that it represents current methodology in all applicable areas. Any computer software used to perform the calculations described will be maintained current with the ODCM.Equations and methods used in the ODCM are based on those presented in NUREG-0133 (Reference 1), in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (References 2 and 3), in Regulatory Guide 1.111 (References 4 and 5), and in Regulatory Guide 1.113 (Reference 6).1-1 VER 29 VEGP ODCM CHAPTER 2 LIQUID EFFLUENTS 2.1 LIMITS OF OPERATION The following Liquid Effluent Controls implement requirements established by Technical Specifications Section 5.0.

All requirements in this table apply to each unit.2-7 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 2.1.2 Liquid Effluent Concentration Control In accordance with Technical Specifications 5.5.4.b and 5.5.4.c, the 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 than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 1 x 10 -4 pCi/mL total activity.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.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 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 the limits of Section 2.1.2.2.1.2.4 Basis This control is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be less than ten times the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in UNRESTRICTED AREAS will result in exposures within (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix 1, 10 CFR 50, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, and (2) the limits of 10 CFR 20.1301 to the population.
The concentration limit for dissolved or entrained noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-1 35 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 (1959). The resulting concentration of 2 x 104 was then multiplied by the ratio of the effluent concentration limit for Xe-1 35, stated 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 (paragraphs 20.1 to 20.601), to obtain the limiting concentration of 1 x 104 ptCi/mL.2-7 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 2-8 VER29 2-8 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Table 2-3.Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program_-_ Sam pling and Analysis Requirementsa b MINIMUM MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRA-Minimum TO MC Liquid Release Sampling Analysis Type of Activity TION (MDC)Type FREQUENCY FREQUENCY Analysis (jiCi/mL)A.

This surveillance will continue until three consecutive weekly composite samples have shown no activity above the MDC.2-10 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 2-10 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 2.1.3 Liquid Effluent Dose Control In accordance with Technical Specifications 5.5.4.d and 5.5.4.e, the dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released, from each unit, to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited: a. During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrem to the total body and to less than or equal to 5 mrem to any organ, and b. During any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mrem to the total body and to less than or equal to 10 mrem to any organ.2.1.3.1 Applicability These limits apply at all times.2.1.3.2 Actions With the calculated dose from the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents exceeding any of the limits of Section 2.1.3., prepare and submit to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission within 30 days a special report which identifies the cause(s) for exceeding the limit(s); defines the corrective actions to be taken to reduce the releases;and defines the proposed corrective actions to be taken to assure that subsequent releases will be in compliance with the limits of Section 2.1.3.This control does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes.2.1.3.3 Surveillance Requirements At least once per 31 days, cumulative dose contributions from liquid effluents for the current calendar quarter and the current calendar year shall be determined, for each unit, in accordance with Section 2.4.2.1.3.4 Basis This control is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A, III.A and IV.A of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50. The limits stated in Section 2.1.3 implement the guides set forth in Section Il.A of Appendix I. The ACTIONS stated in Section 2.1.3.2 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 liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." Also, for fresh water sites with drinking water supplies that can be potentially affected by plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radionuclide concentrations in the finished drinking water that are in excess of the requirements of 40 CFR Part 141. The dose calculations in Section 2.4 implement the requirements in 2-10 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Section III.A of Appendix I, which state 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 Section 2.4 for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents are consistent with the 2-11 VER 29 VEGP ODCM methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference
- 3) and Regulatory Guide 1.113 (Reference 6).This control applies to the release of liquid effluents from each unit at the site. The liquid effluents from shared LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMs are to be proportioned between the units.2.1.4 Liquid Radwaste Treatment System Control In accordance with Technical Specification 5.5.4.f, the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM shall be OPERABLE.
The appropriate portions of the system shall be used to reduce radioactivity in liquid wastes prior to their discharge when the projected doses due to the liquid effluent, from each unit, to UNRESTRICTED AREAS would exceed 0.06 mrem to the total body or 0.2 mrem to any organ of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC in 31 days.2.1.4.1 Applicability This limit applies at all times.2.1.4.2 Actions With radioactive liquid waste being discharged without treatment and in excess of the above limits and any portion of the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM not in operation, prepare and submit to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission within 30 days a special report which includes the following information:
- a. Explanation of why liquid radwaste was being discharged without treatment, identification of any inoperable equipment or subsystems and the reason for the inoperability, b. Action(s) taken to restore the inoperable equipment to OPERABLE status, and c. Summary description of action(s) taken to prevent a recurrence.
This control does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes.2.1.4.3 Surveillance Requirements Doses due to liquid releases to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be projected at least once per 31 days, in accordance with Section 2.5, during periods in which the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMs are not being fully utilized.The LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by meeting the controls of Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3.2-11 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 2.1.4.4 Basis The OPERABILITY of the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM ensures that this system will be available for use whenever liquid effluents require treatment prior to release to the UNRESTRICTED AREAS. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This control 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 lI.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 1, 10 CFR Part 50, for liquid effluents. This control applies to the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents from each unit at the site. For units with shared radwaste systems, the liquid effluents from the shared system are to be proportioned among the units sharing that system.2.1.5 Major Changes to Liquid Radioactive Waste Treatment Systems Licensee initiated MAJOR CHANGES TO LIQUID RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS: a. Shall be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change was implemented. The discussion of each change shall contain the information described in Section 7.2.2.7.b. Shall become effective upon review and approval by the Vice President -Plant.2-12 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 2.2 LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM The Vogtle Electric Generating Plant is located on the west bank of the Savannah 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 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.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 automatic termination of releases from these systems in the event that radioactivity is detected above predetermined levels. These two systems discharge to the waste water retention basin. Sampling and analysis of releases via all three of these pathways must be sufficient to ensure that the liquid effluent dose limits specified in the controls of Section 2.1.3 are not exceeded.2-13 VER 29 VEGP ODCM To Unit 2 Filter Demin Waste Monitor Waste Monitor Tank: Tank: 5,000 gal 20,000 gal I I To Figure 2-1.

Liquid Radwaste Discharge Pathways 2-16 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 2.3 LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITOR SETPOINTS 2.3.1 General Provisions Regarding Setpoints 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 significant radioactivity, the purpose of the monitor setpoints is to cause an alarm on low levels of radioactivity, and to terminate the release where this is possible. Section 2.1.1 establishes the requirements for liquid effluent monitoring instrumentation. Table 2-4 lists the monitors for which each of the setpoint methodologies is applicable. 2-17 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Table 2-4.

Therefore, their alarm/trip setpoints are established to ensure compliance with the following equation (equation adapted from Addendum to Reference 1): c'f- <- TF" CECL (2.1)F+f where: CECL = the Effluent Concentration Limit corresponding to the mix of radionuclides in the effluent being considered for discharge, in g.Ci/mL.c = the setpoint, in jgCi/mL, of the radioactivity monitor measuring the concentration of radioactivity in the effluent line prior to dilution and subsequent release. The setpoint represents a concentration 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 concentrations 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.While equation (2.1) shows the relationships of the critical parameters that determine the setpoint, it cannot be applied practically to a mixture of radionuclides with different Effluent Concentration Limits (ECLs). For a mixture of radionuclides, equation (2.1) is satisfied in a practicable manner based on the calculated ECL fraction of the radionuclide mixture and the dilution stream flowrate that can be assured for the 2-19 VER 29 VEGP ODCM duration of the release (Fd), by calculating the maximum permissible effluent flowrate (fin) 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 Step 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 collected in waste monitor tanks for sampling and analysis. The 5,000-gallon 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: YZCi = C + ZC +Cf + + c + YICg (2.2)s g where: C, = 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 the liquid waste, not less than that measured in the most recent applicable composite sample.Cf = the concentration of Fe-55 in the liquid waste, not less than that measured in the most recent applicable composite sample.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 2-20 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 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 Ca, Cs, Cf, and Ct shall be used.Step 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 (RDFy) and for non-gamma-emitters (RDFny): RDF = YCL+ [(SF)(TF)I (2.3)= RDFY + RDF,,y RDF), = (sFCr) (2.4)(SFXTF)where: SC" Cf C,'C+ + +RDF,,, = ECL, ECL,. ECL ECL,j (2.5)(SF)(TF )C = the measured concentration of radionuclide i as defined in step 1, in J4Ci/mL. The Ca, Cs, Cf, and Ct terms will be included in the calculation as appropriate. ECL = the Effluent Concentration Limit for radionuclide i from 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 (except for noble gases as discussed below). 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- ptCi/mL. For gross alpha, the ECL shall be 2x1 0-9 tCi/mL; if specific alpha-emitting radionuclides are measured, the ECL for the specific radionuclide(s) should be used.2-21 VER 29 VEGP ODCM SF = the safety factor selected to compensate for statistical fluctuations and errors of measurement. The value for the safety factor must be between 0 and 1. A value of 0.5 is reasonable for liquid releases; a more precise value may be developed if desired.TF = the tolerance factor (as defined in Section 2.3.2.1).Step 3: Determine the release-specific assured dilution stream flowrate.Determine the dilution stream flowrate that can be assured during the release period, designated Fd; 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: F:O, = Fd (AFP) (2.6)where: Fdp = the dilution flowrate allocated to release pathway p, in gpm.AFp = the dilution allocation factor for release pathway p. AFn may be assigned any value between 0 and 1 for each active release pathway, under the condition that the sum of the AFp for all active release pathways for the entire plant site does not exceed 1.Fd = the assured minimum dilution flow for the unit, in gpm.In the normal case in which the only release pathways with detectable radioactivity are the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMs of each unit, AFp 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. If only one simultaneous release is being made, its AFp may be assigned the value of 1, making Fdp equal to Fd.2-22 VER 29 VEGP ODCM For the case where RDF < 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, Fd, 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, fm.p (in gpm), is calculated as follows: Fd° (2.7)P (RDF- 1)For the case RDF _< 1, equation (2.7) is not valid. However, as discussed above, when RDF < 1, the release may be made at full discharge pump capacity; the radioactivity 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 radioactivity 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 affecting the dilution stream must be sufficient 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: fp =(RDF- 1) r dF ,ECLJ(2.8) where: Cir the measured concentration of radionuclide i in release pathway r that is contributing to radioactivity in the dilution stream.fr = 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 = Fd, and Cir is the 2-23 VER 29 VEGP ODCM concentration in the total dilution system. This note does not apply: a) if the RDF of the planned release is _< 1; or b) if the release contributing radioactivity to the dilution stream has been accounted for by the assignment of an allocation factor.Step 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 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 [tCi/mL) is based on the concentration of gamma emitters in the waste stream, as follows: cP = AP Cg (2.9)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.Step 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: 1 Ap = x ADF RDF (2.10)1- (F,1P + f,,P)RDF Alp where: ADF = the assured dilution factor.fap the anticipated actual discharge flowrate for the planned release (in gpm), a value less than fmp.The release must then be controlled so that the actual effluent discharge flowrate does not exceed fap at any time.Step 5.b. Alternatively, Ap may be calculated as follows: ADF- RDF,,n AP =RDFy (2.11)2-24 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Step 5.c. Evaluate the computed value of Ap as follows: If Ap > 1, calculate the monitor setpoint, cp. However, if cp is within about 10 percent of Cg, it may be impractical to use this value of cp.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 concentrations at the point of discharge; these steps may include decreasing the planned effluent discharge flowrate, increasing the dilution stream flowrate, postponing simultaneous releases, and/or decreasing the effluent 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 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 jtCi/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 [tCi/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 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. 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.2-25 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 2.3.3 Setpoints 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 radioactivity 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.* 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 effluent streams, it should be determined in the same manner as described in Section 2.3.2. However, special consideration must be given to Step 3. An allocation factor must be assigned to the normally low-radioactivity release pathway under consideration, and allocation factors for other release pathways discharging simultaneously must be adjusted downward (if necessary) to ensure that the sum of the allocation factors does not exceed 1. Sampling and analysis of the normally low-radioactivity streams must be sufficient to ensure that the liquid effluent dose limits specified in the controls of Section 2.1.3 are not exceeded.2-26 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 2.4 LIQUID EFFLUENT DOSE CALCULATIONS The following sub-sections present the methods required for liquid effluent dose calculations, in deepening levels of detail. Applicable site-specific pathways and parameter values for the calculation of De, A 1 j, and CFiv are summarized in Table 2-5.2.4.1 Calculation of Dose The dose limits for a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC specified in Section 2.1.3 are on a per-unit basis. Therefore, the doses calculated in accordance with this section must be determined and recorded on a per-unit basis, including apportionment of releases shared between the two units.For the purpose of implementing Section 2.1.3, the dose to the maximum exposed individual due to radionuclides identified in liquid effluents released from each unit to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be calculated as follows (equation from Reference 1, page 15): D,=Z rI ('At, CiF,) (2.12)where: D, = the cumulative dose commitment to the total body or to any organ T, in mrem, due to radioactivity in liquid effluents released during the total of the m time periods At,.Aj, = the site-related adult ingestion dose commitment factor, for the total body or for any organ T, due to identified radionuclide i, in (mrem.mL)/(h.plCi).

If simultaneous releases from both units occur, the dilution stream flowrate Ft must be allocated between them. In such cases, F, is unit-specific. Z = the applicable dilution factor for the receiving water body, in the near field of the discharge structure, during the period of radioactivity release, from Table 2-5.NOTE: In equation (2.13), the product (Ft x Z) is limited to 1000 cfs (= 448,000 gpm) or less.

For specific values, see Table 2-7.2.4.3 Calculation of Cfiv The concentration factor for radionuclide i in irrigated garden vegetation, CFiv in (L/kg), is calculated as follows: For radionuclides other than tritium (equation adapted from Reference 3, equations A-8 and A-9): iv=M fJ (2.15)For tritium (equation adapted from Reference 3, equations A-9 and A-10): CFjv = M.

If only routine liquid effluents are anticipated, Dta may be set to zero.2.5.2 Dose Projections for Specific Releases Dose projections may be performed for a particular release by performing a prerelease 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, and parameter values expected to exist during the release period.2-38 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 2.6 DEFINITIONS OF LIQUID EFFLUENT TERMS The following symbolic terms are used in the presentation of liquid effluent calculations in the subsections above.Section of Term Definition Initial Use Ap= the adjustment factor used in calculating the effluent monitor setpoint for liquid release pathway p: the ratio of the assured dilution to the required dilution [unitless]. 2.3.2.2 ADF = the assured dilution factor for a planned release [unitless]. 2.3.2.2 AFp = the dilution allocation factor for liquid release pathway p 2.3.2.2[unitless].

The limits stated in Section 3.1.4 are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The ACTION statements in Section 3.1.4.2 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 effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The calculational methods specified in the Surveillance Requirements of Section 3.1.4.3 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 calculational methods in Section 3.4.3 for calculating the doses due to the actual releases of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 3), and Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Reference 5).These equations provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical annual average atmospheric conditions. The release specifications for radioiodines, radioactive materials in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the 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 leafy garden 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.3.1.5 Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System Control In accordance with Technical Specification 5.5.4.f, the GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM and the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM shall be OPERABLE. The appropriate portions of the GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM and the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM shall be used to reduce radioactive materials in gaseous wastes prior to their discharge when the projected doses in 31 days due to gaseous effluent releases, from each reactor unit, to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY would exceed 0.2 mrad to air from gamma radiation, 0.4 mrad to air from beta radiation, or 0.3 mrem to any organ of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC.3.1.5.1 Applicability These limits apply at all times.3.1.5.2 Actions 3-16 VER 29 VEGP ODCM With gaseous waste being discharged without treatment and in excess of the limits in Section 3.1.5, prepare and submit to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission within 30 days a special report which includes the following information:

This control does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes.3.1.5.3 Surveillance Requirements Doses due to gaseous releases from each unit to areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY shall be projected at least once per 31 days, in accordance with Section 3.5.1, when the GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM or the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM is not being fully utilized.The GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM and the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM shall be demonstrated OPERABLE: by meeting the controls of Sections 3.1.2, and either 3.1.3 (for the GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM) or 3.1.4 (for the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM).3.1.5.4 Basis The OPERABILITY of the GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM ensures that the system will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used, when specified, provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This control 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 IL.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the system were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.B and II.C of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50, for gaseous effluents. This control applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from each unit at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the gaseous effluents from the shared system are proportioned among the units sharing that system.3-17 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 3.1.6 Major Changes to Gaseous Radioactive Waste Treatment Systems Licensee initiated MAJOR CHANGES TO GASEOUS RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS: a. Shall be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the Radioactive Effluents Release Report for the period in which the change was implemented. The discussion of each change shall contain the information described in Section 7.2.2.7.b. Shall become effective upon review and approval by the Vice President -Plant.3-18 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 3.2 GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM 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 Radwaste Processing Facility Vent. However, the Turbine Building Vents are not normal release pathways unless a primary-to-secondary leak exists. The Radwaste Processing Facility Vent is not a normal release pathway unless a spill occurs. The figures on the following pages give schematic diagrams of the Gaseous Waste Treatment System 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 from 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 system. The Radwaste Processing Facility Vent includes sources from the Radwaste Processing Facility Process area.Releases from the two Turbine Building Vents and the Radwaste Processing Facility Vent are considered to be ground-level releases, whereas releases from the two Plant Vents are considered mixed-mode releases. Chapter 8 discusses the calculation of atmospheric dispersion parameters using the ground-level and mixed-mode (i.e., split-wake) models. All five potential release pathways are considered to be continuous (as opposed to batch) in nature.3-19 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Radioactivity Monitor ARE-0014 To Unit 1 Plant Vent via Auxiliary Building Ventilation System To Chemical Volume Control Tank To Waste Gas Decay Tank Header I I I I Unit 2 Waste Gas Volume Control Tank Purge Recycle Evaporator Vent Condenser Waste Evaporator Vent Condenser Recycle Holdup Tank Eductor Reactor Coolant Drain Tank*Dotted line operational between 20 and 100 psig NOTE: This is typical of both units.

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 instrumentation, and Section 3.2 describes the VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT 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 monitors 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 effluent 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.3-20 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Table 3-4.

Therefore, their alarm setpoints are established to ensure compliance with the following equation: flAG. ~SF .X .Rt c =the lesser of AG. (3.1)LAG.SF.X.Rk where: c = the setpoint, in jtCi/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, 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 dose rate to the skin for the conditions of the release under consideration. 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 measuring the radioactivity in source streams that merge with other streams prior to subsequent monitoring and release, the modifications presented in Section 3.3.3 must be applied.3-22 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 3.3.2.2 Setpoint Calculation Steps Step 1: Determine the concentration, Xjv, of each noble gas radionuclide i in the gaseous stream v being considered for release, in accordance with the sampling and analysis requirements of Section 3.1.2. Then sum these concentrations to determine the total noble gas concentration, YXjv.Step 2: Determine Rt, the ratio of the dose rate limit for the total body, 500 mrem/y, to the total body dose rate due to noble gases detected in the release under consideration, as follows: Rt= 500 (3.2)(7-)vb y K-Qv where: 500 = the dose rate limit for the total body, 500 mrem/y.FXIQ)vb = the highest annual average relative concentration at the SITE BOUNDARY for the discharge point of release pathway v. Table 3-4 includes an indication of what release elevation is applicable to each release pathway; release elevation determines the appropriate value of FxQ)Vb *Ki = the total-body dose factor due to gamma emissions from noble gas radionuclide i, in (mrem/y)/(p.Ci/m 3), from Table 3-5.Qiv = the release rate of noble gas radionuclide i from the release pathway under consideration, in [tCi/s, calculated as the product of Xiv and fav, where: Xi = the concentration of noble gas radionuclide i for the particular release, in p.Ci/mL.fav = the maximum anticipated flowrate for release pathway v during the period of the release under consideration, in mL/s.Step 3: Determine Rk, the ratio of the dose rate limit for the skin, 3000 mrem/y, to the skin dose rate due to noble gases detected in the release under consideration, as follows: 3000 (3.3)(X/Q-),h Y_ [(L' + 1. 1M).Q I 3-23 VER 29 VEGP ODCM where: 3000 = the dose rate limit for the skin, 3000 mrem/y.Li = the skin dose factor due to beta emissions from noble gas radionuclide i, in (mrem/y)/(ptCi/m3), from Table 3-5.= the air dose factor due to gamma emissions from noble gas radionuclide i, in (mrad/y)I(ý.Ci/m3), from Table 3-5.1.1 = the factor to convert air dose in mrad to skin dose in mrem.All other terms were defined previously. Step 4: Determine the maximum noble gas 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 Section 3.1.2.a will not be exceeded. Because the radioactivity monitor responds primarily to radiation from noble gas radionuclides, the monitor setpoint Cnv (in [tCi/mL) is based on the concentration of all noble gases in the waste stream, as follows: where: Cnv = the calculated setpoint, in ý.Ci/mL, for the noble gas monitor serving gaseous release pathway v.SAG

The allocation factor may be assigned any value between 0 and 1, under the condition that the sum of the allocation factors for all simultaneously-active final release pathways at the entire plant site does not exceed 1. Alternative methods for determination of AGv are presented in Section 3.3.4.SF = the safety factor selected to compensate for statistical fluctuations and errors of measurement.
The value for the safety factor must be between 0 and 1. A value of 0.5 is reasonable for gaseous releases;a more precise value may be developed if desired.3-24 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Xiv = the measured concentration of noble gas radionuclide i in gaseous stream v, as defined in Step 1, in [tCi/mL.The values of Rt and Rk to be used in the calculation are those which were determined in Steps 2 and 3 above.Step 5: Determine whether the release is permissible, as follows: If Cnv Xiv, the release is permissible. However, if Cnv is within about 10 percent of YZXi,, it I may be impractical to use this value of Cnv. This situation indicates that measured concentrations are approaching values which would cause the limits of Section 3.1.2.a to be exceeded. Therefore, steps should be taken to reduce contributing source terms of gaseous radioactive material, or to adjust the allocation of the limits among the active release points. The setpoint calculations (steps 1-4) must then be repeated with parameters that reflect the modified conditions. If Cnv < Y-Xiv, 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.3.3.2.3 Use of the Calculated Setpoint The setpoint calculated above is in the units p.Ci/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 1 LCi/mL.Initial calibration by the manufacturer and Georgia Power Company of the gaseous effluent monitors specified in Section 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 factor 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. 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 sample analysis.3-25 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 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.3.3.3 Setpoints for Noble Gas Monitors on Effluent Source Streams Table 3-4 lists certain gaseous release pathways as being source streams. As may be seen in the figures of Section 3.2, these are streams that merge with other streams, prior to passing a final radioactivity monitor and being released. Unlike the final monitors, the source stream monitors measure radioactivity in effluent streams for which flow can be terminated; therefore, the source stream monitors have control logic to terminate the source stream release at the alarm setpoint.3.3.3.1 Setpoint of the Monitor on the Source Stream Step 1: Determine the concentration XIs of each noble gas radionuclide i in source stream s (in 1.Ci/mL) according to the results of its required sample analyses [see Section 3.1.2].Step 2: Determine rt, the ratio of the dose rate limit for the total body, 500 mrem/y, to the total body dose rate due to noble gases detected in the source stream under consideration. Use the Xis values and the maximum anticipated source stream flowrate fas in equation (3.2) to determine the total body dose rate for the source stream, substituting rt for Rt.The SITE BOUNDARY relative dispersion value used in Steps 2 and 3 for the source stream is the same as the (X--Q)vb that applies to the respective merged stream. This is because the (xlQ) value is determined by the meteorology of the plant site and the physical attributes of the release point, and is unaffected by whether or not a given source stream is operating. Step 3: Determine rk, the ratio of the dose rate limit for the skin, 3000 mrem/y, to the skin dose rate due to noble gases detected in the source stream under consideration. Use the Xis values and the maximum anticipated source stream flow rate fas in equation (3.3) to determine the skin dose rate for the source stream, substituting rk for Rk.Step 4: Determine the maximum noble gas radioactivity monitor setpoint concentration, as follows: 3-26 VER 29 VEGP ODCM{AGs SF -Y Xis" rt Cns = the lesser of (3.5)AGs *SF .Xis.rk where: Cns = the calculated setpoint (in [tCi/mL) for the noble gas monitor serving gaseous source stream s.AGs = the administrative allocation factor applied to gaseous source stream s. For a given final release point v, the sum of all the AGs values for source streams contributing to the final release point must not exceed the release point's allocation factor Agv.Xis = the measured concentration of noble gas radionuclide i in gaseous source stream s, as defined in Step 1, in pCi/mL.The values of rt and rk to be used in the calculation are those which were determined in Steps 2 and 3 above. The safety factor, SF, was defined previously. Step 5: Determine whether the release is permissible, as follows: If Cns > ZXis, the release is permissible. However, if Cns is within about 10 percent of ZX 8 s, it may be impractical to use this value of Cns. This situation indicates that measured concentrations are approaching values which would cause the limits of Section 3.1.2.a to be exceeded. Therefore, steps should be taken to reduce contributing source terms of gaseous radioactive material, or to adjust the allocation of the limits among the active release points. The setpoint calculations (steps 1-4) must then be repeated with parameters that reflect the modified conditions. If Cns < EXis, 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.3.3.3.2 Effect on the Setpoint of the Monitor on the Merged Stream Before beginning a release from a monitored source stream, a setpoint must be determined for the source stream monitor as presented in Section 3.3.3.1. In addition, whether or not the source stream has its own effluent monitor, the previously-determined maximum allowable setpoint for the downstream final monitor on the merged stream must be redetermined. This is accomplished by repeating the steps of Section 3.3.2, with the following modifications. 3-27 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Modification 1: The new maximum anticipated flowrate of the merged stream is the sum of the old merged stream maximum flowrate, and the maximum flowrate of the source stream being considered for release.(Janew = (Li. l + fa, (3.6)Modification 2: The new concentration of noble gas radionuclide i in the merged stream includes both the contribution of the merged stream without the source stream, and the source stream being considered for release.tv ' _ (fa, )"/d,, .(X, )o,,, + fas* Xi ,.s -t iv nmew (Jav),ne, t -I 3.3.4 Determination of Allocation Factors, AG When simultaneous gaseous releases are conducted, an administrative allocation factor must be applied to divide the release limit among the active gaseous release pathways.This is to assure that the dose rate limit for areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY (see Section 3.1.2) will not be exceeded by simultaneous releases. The allocation factor for any pathway may be assigned any value between 0 and 1, under the following two conditions:
- 1. The sum of the allocation factors for all simultaneously-active final release paths at the plant site may not exceed 1.2. The sum of the allocation factors for all simultaneously-active source streams merging into a given final release pathway may not exceed the allocation factor of that final release pathway.Any of the following three methods may be used to assign the allocation factors to the active gaseous release pathways: 1. For ease of implementation, AG, may be equal for all release pathways: '1 AG, = -(3.8)where: N = the number of simultaneously active gaseous release pathways.2. AG, for a given release pathway may be selected based on an estimate of the portion of the total SITE BOUNDARY dose rate (from all simultaneous releases)that is contributed by the release pathway. During periods when a given building 3-28 VER 29 VEGP ODCM or release pathway is not subject to gaseous radioactive releases, it may be assigned an allocation factor of zero.3. AG, for a given release pathway may be selected based on a calculation of the portion of the total SITE BOUNDARY dose rate that is contributed by the release pathway, as follows: (XI/Qlb (K Q 1 N)AGv = N (3.9)where: (ROQ)vb = the annual average SITE BOUNDARY relative concentration applicable to the gaseous release pathway v for which the allocation factor is being determined, in s/m 3.Ki = the total-body dose factor due to gamma emissions from noble gas radionuclide i, in (mremly)I( jiCi/m 3), from Table 3-5.QiV = the release rate of noble gas radionuclide i from release pathway v, in ACi/s, calculated as the product of X 1 v and fav, where: Xiv = the concentration of noble gas radionuclide i applicable to the gaseous release pathway v for which the allocation factor is being determined, in ý.Ci/mL.fav = the discharge flowrate applicable to gaseous release pathway v for which the allocation factor is being determined, in mL/s.= the annual average SITE BOUNDARY relative concentration applicable to active gaseous release pathway r, in s/m 3.Qir = the release rate of noble gas radionuclide i applicable to active release pathway r, in ItCi/s, calculated as the product of Xir and far, where: Xir = the concentration of noble gas radionuclide i applicable to active gaseous release pathway r, in pICi/mL.far = the discharge flowrate applicable to active gaseous release pathway r, in mL/s.N = the number of simultaneously active gaseous release pathways (including pathway v that is of interest).
3-29 VER 29 VEGP ODCM NOTE: Although equations (3.8) and (3.9) are written to illustrate the assignment of the allocation factors for final release pathways, they may also be used to assign allocation factors to the source streams that merge into a given final release pathway.3.3.5 Setpoints for Noble Gas Monitors with Special Requirements At present, VEGP has no noble gas monitors for which setpoint methodologies are to be presented in the ODCM, and that require methods other than those in Section 3.3.2 or Section 3.3.3.3.3.6 Setpoints for Particulate and Iodine Monitors In accordance with Section 5.1.1 of NRC NUREG-0133 (Reference 1), the effluent controls of Section 3.1.1 do not require that the ODCM establish setpoint calculation methods for particulate and iodine monitors. Therefore, the following is provided for information only: Initial setpoints for the particulate channels of effluent monitors RE-12442 and RE-2565 were determined as described in Reference 13.3-30 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 3.4 GASEOUS EFFLUENT COMPLIANCE CALCULATIONS 3.4.1 Dose Rates at and Beyond the Site Boundary Because the dose rate limits for areas at and beyond the SITE specified in Section 3.1.2 are site limits applicable at any instant in time, the summations extend over all simultaneously active gaseous final release pathways at the plant site. Table 3-4 identifies the gaseous final release pathways at the plant site, and indicates the (XlQ)Vb value for each.3.4.1.1 Dose Rates Due to Noble Gases For the purpose of implementing the controls of Section 3.1.2.a, the dose rates due to noble gas radionuclides in areas at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY, due to releases of gaseous effluents, shall be calculated as follows: For total body dose rates: DRt =y_ý(XIQ)Vb, y[KjQij1 (3.10)For skin dose rates: where: DRt = the total body dose rate at the time of the release, in mrem/y.DRk = the skin dose rate at the time of the release, in mrem/y.Qiv = the release rate of noble gas radionuclide i, in ýtCi/s, equal to the product of ft, and Xv, where: fry = the actual average flowrate for release pathway v during the period of the release, in mL/s.All other terms were defined previously. 3.4.1.2 Dose Rates Due to Iodine-1 31, Iodine-1 33, Tritium, and Radionuclides in Particulate Form with Half-Lives Greater than 8 Days For the purpose of implementing the controls of Section 3.1.2.b, the dose rates due to Iodine-1 31, Iodine-1 33, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days, in areas at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY, due to releases of gaseous effluents, shall be calculated as follows: 3-31 VER 29 VEGP ODCM DRVk =(5Y_,b ZVO LY IP Q', i, (3.12)where: DRo = the dose rate to organ o at the time of the release, in mrem/y.Pio = the site-specific dose factor for radionuclide i and organ o, in (mrem/y)/(ýLCi/m 3). Since the dose rate limits specified in Section 3.1.2.b apply only to the child age group exposed to the inhalation pathway, the values of Pi,, may be obtained from Table 3-9, "Raipj for Inhalation Pathway, Child Age Group." Qqv = the release rate of radionuclide i from gaseous release pathway v, in pCi/s. For the purpose of implementing the controls of Section 3.1.2.b, only 1-131, 1-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days should be included in this calculation. All other terms were defined previously.
3.4.2 Noble
Gas Air Dose at or Beyond Site Boundary For the purpose of implementing the controls of Section 3.1.3, air doses in areas at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY due to releases of noble gases from each unit shall be calculated as follows (adapted from Reference 1, page 28, by including only long-term releases): D,6 = 3.17x 10 {Yiý2Qb Nj .iv (3.13)Dy =3.17x 10{X /Q),Vb [Mi , Qiv (3.14)where: 3.17 x 10-8 = a units conversion factor: 1 y/(3.15 x 10 7 s).Dý = the air dose due to beta emissions from noble gas radionuclides, in mrad.Dy = the air dose due to gamma emissions from noble gas radionuclides, in mrad.Ni = the air dose factor due to beta emissions from noble gas radionuclide i (mrad/y)/(jxCi/m 3), from Table 3-5.3-32 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Mi = the air dose factor due to gamma emissions from noble gas radionuclide i (mrad/y)I(ptCi/m 3), from Table 3-5.Oil = the cumulative release of noble gas radionuclide i from release pathway v (ýiCi), during the period of interest.and all other terms are as defined above.Because the air dose limit is on a per-reactor-unit basis, the summations extend over all gaseous final release pathways for a given unit. For a release pathway discharging materials originating in both reactor units, the activity discharged from the release point may be apportioned to the two units in any reasonable manner, provided that all activity released via the particular shared release pathway is apportioned to one or the other unit.The gaseous final release pathways at the plant site, and the --Q)vb for each, are identified in Table 3-4.3-33 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Table 3-5.Dose Factors for Exposure to a Semi-Infinite Cloud of Noble Gases y -Body (K) 13- Skin (L) 7- Air (M) 3 -Air (N)Nuclide (mrem/y) per (mrem/y) per (mrad/y) per (mrad/y) per (ýtCilm 3) (1 iCilm 3) (gCilm 3) ([LCi/m 3)Kr-83m 7.56 E-02 0.00 E+00 1.93 E+01 2.88 E+02 Kr-85m 1.17 E+03 1.46 E+03 1.23 E+03 1.97 E+03 Kr-85 1.61 E+01 1.34 E+03 1.72 E+01 1.95 E+03 Kr-87 5.92 E+03 9.73 E+03 6.17 E+03 1.03 E+04 Kr-88 1.47 E+04 2.37 E+03 1.52 E+04 2.93 E+03 Kr-89 1.66 E+04 1.01 E+04 1.73 E+04 1.06 E+04 Kr-90 1.56 E+04 7.29 E+03 1.63 E+04 7.83 E+03 Xe-131m 9.15 E+01 4.76 E+02 1.56 E+02 1.11 E+03 Xe-1 33m 2.51 E+02 9.94 E+02 3.27 E+02 1.48 E+03 Xe-133 2.94 E+02 3.06 E+02 3.53 E+02 1.05 E+03 Xe-1 35m 3.12 E+03 7.11 E+02 3.36 E+03 7.39 E+02 Xe-135 1.81 E+03 1.86 E+03 1.92 E+03 2.46 E+03 Xe-137 1.42 E+03 1.22 E+04 1.51 E+03 1.27 E+04 Xe-138 8.83 E+03 4.13 E+03 9.21 E+03 4.75 E+03 Ar-41 8.84 E+03 2.69 E+03 9.30 E+03 3.28 E+03 All values in this table were obtained from Reference 3 (Table B-i), with units converted. 3-34 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Table 3-6.Dose Factors for Exposure to Direct Radiation from Noble Gases in an Elevated Finite Plume The contents of this table are not applicable to VEGP.3-35 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 3-36 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 3.4.3 Dose to a Member of the Public at or Beyond Site Boundary The dose received by an individual due to gaseous releases from each reactor unit, to areas at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY, depends on the individual's location, age group, and exposure pathways. The MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC expected to receive the highest dose in the plant vicinity is referred to as the controlling receptor. The dosimetrically-significant attributes of the currently-defined controlling receptor are presented in Table 3-7.Doses to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to gaseous releases of 1-131,1-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form from each unit shall be calculated as follows (equation adapted from Reference 1, page 29, by considering only long-term releases): Dja = 3.17x 10-" Y{ZiE R [J-W,, [ QKip 1 (3.15)where: Dja = the dose to organ j of an individual in age group a, due to gaseous releases of 1-131, 1-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days, in mrem.3.17 x 10-8 = a units conversion factor: 1 y/(3.15 x 10 7 s).Raipj the site-specific dose factor for age group a, radionuclide i, exposure pathway p, and organ j. For the purpose of implementing the controls of Section 3.1.4, the exposure pathways applicable to calculating the dose to the currently-defined controlling receptor are included in Table 3-7; values of Raipj for each exposure pathway and radionuclide applicable to calculations of dose to the controlling receptor are included in Tables 3-8 through 3-12.A detailed discussion of the methods and parameters used for calculating Raipj for the plant site is presented in Chapter 9. That information may be used for recalculating the Raipj values if the underlying parameters change, or for calculating Raipm values for special radionuclides and age groups when performing the assessments discussed in Section 3.4.4 below.Wvi = the annual average relative dispersion or deposition at the location of the controlling receptor, for release pathway v, as appropriate to exposure pathway p and radionuclide i.3-37 VER 29 VEGP ODCM For all tritium pathways, and for the inhalation of any radionuclide: Wjp is (XIQ),, , the annual average relative dispersion factor for release pathway v, at the location of the controlling receptor (s/m 3).For the ground-plane exposure pathway, and for all ingestion-related pathways for radionuclides other than tritium: Wvip is FJIQ-)vP, the annual average relative deposition factor for release pathway v, at the location of the controlling receptor (m-2). Values of (x-Q)vp and (DI-Q-)vp for use in calculating the dose to the currently-defined controlling receptor are included in Table 3-7.'iv = the cumulative release of radionuclide i from release pathway v, during the period of interest (ptCi). For the purpose of implementing the controls of Section 3.1.4, only 1-131, 1-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days should be included in this calculation. In any dose assessment using the methods of this subsection, only radionuclides detectable above background in their respective samples should be included in the calculation. Because the member of the public dose limit is on a per-unit basis, the summations extend over all gaseous final release pathways for a given unit. For a release pathway discharging materials originating in both reactor units, the activity discharged from the release point may be apportioned between the two units in any reasonable manner, provided that all activity released from the plant site is apportioned to one or the other unit.The gaseous final release pathways at the plant site, and the release elevation for each, are identified in Table 3-4.3-38 VER29 3-38 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Table 3-7.Attributes of the Controlling Receptor The locations of members of the public in the vicinity of the plant site, and the exposure pathways associated with those locations, are determined in the Annual Land Use Census.Dispersion and deposition values were calculated based on site meteorological data collected for the period January 1, 1985 through December 31, 1987.Based on an analysis of this information, the current controlling receptor for the plant site is described as follows.Sector: Distance: Age Group: WSW 1.2 miles Child Exposure Pathways: Inhalation, ground plane, cow meat, and garden vegetation Dispersion Factors (-XIQvb: Ground-Level release points: Mixed-Mode release points: 6.20 E-7 s/m 3 1.27 E-7 s/m 3 Deposition Factors (DI-Qvb: Ground-Level release points: Mixed-Mode release points: 2.80 E-9 m 2 9.90 E-10 m-2 3-39 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 3-40 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 3.4.4 Dose Calculations to Support Other Requirements Case 1: A radiological impact assessment may be required to support evaluation of a reportable event.Dose calculations may be performed using the equations in Section 3.4.3, with the substitution of the dispersion and deposition parameters [(X/Q) and (D/Q)] for the period covered by the report, and using the appropriate pathway dose factors (Raipj) for the receptor of interest. Methods for calculating (X/Q) and (D/Q) from meteorological data are presented in Chapter 8.Values of Raipj other than those presented in Tables 3-8 through 3-12 may need to be calculated. Methods and parameters for calculating values of Raipj are presented in Chapter 9. When calculating Raipo for evaluation of an event, pathway and usage factors specific to the receptor involved in the event may be used in place of the values in Chapter 9, if the specific values are known.Case 2: A dose calculation is required to evaluate the results of the Land Use Census, under the provisions of Section 4.1.2.In the event that the Land Use Census reveals that exposure pathways have changed at previously-identified locations, or if new locations are identified, it may be necessary to calculate doses at two or more locations to determine which should be designated as the controlling receptor. Such dose calculations may be performed using the equations in Section 3.4.3, with the substitution of the annual average dispersion and deposition values [-j-Q-) and (D-I-Q)] for the locations of interest, and using the appropriate pathway dose factors (Raipj) for the receptors of interest.Methods for calculating (X/Q) and (D/Q) from meteorological data are presented in Chapter 8. The values of Raio other than those presented in Tables 3-8 through 3-12 may need to be calculated. Methods and parameters for calculating values of Raipj are presented in Chapter 9.Case 3: Under Section 5.2, a dose calculation may be required to support the determination of a component of the total dose to a receptor other than that currently defined as the controlling receptor.Dose calculations would be performed using the equations in Section 3.4.3, with the dispersion and deposition parameters and appropriate values of (Raipj) for the receptor of interest.Appropriate values of the dispersion and deposition parameters, if not found in Table 3-7, would need to be calculated. Methods for calculating (X/Q) and (D/Q)from meterological data are presented in Chapter 8.3-41 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Appropriate values of Raipj, if not found in Tables 3-8 through 3-12, would need to be calculated.

Thus, a single program including monitoring, land use survey, and quality assurance serves both units.4.1.1 Radiological Environmental Monitoring The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) shall be conducted as specified in Table 4-1.4.1.1.1 Applicability This control applies at all times.4.1.1.2 Actions 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 Environmental Operating Report, a description of the reasons for not conducting 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 confirmed 1 measured level of radioactivity as a result of plant effluents in an environmental sampling medium specified in Table 4-1 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 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 estimate the potential annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC shall be indicated in the special report.When more than one of the radionuclides in Table 4-2 are detected in the sampling medium, this report shall be submitted if: Defined as confirmed by reanalysis of the original sample, or analysis of a duplicate or new sample, as appropriate.

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 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. The levels of naturally-occurring radionuclides which are not included in the plant's effluent releases 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 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 Effluent Release Report for the change(s) in the ODCM, including 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 the selection of any new location(s). 4.1.1.2.4 This control does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes.4.1.1.3 Surveillance Requirements 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 Table 4-1 and Table 4-3. Required detection capabilities for thermoluminescent dosimeters used for environmental measurements shall be in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 4.13. Program changes may be initiated based on operational experience. 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 sample sizes, the presence of interfering radionuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these MDCs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and described in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.4.1.1.4 Basis 4-2 VER 29 VEGP ODCM The REMP required by this control provides representative measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways, and for those radionuclides, which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the plant operation. The REMP implements Section IV.B.2, Appendix I, 10 CFR 50, and thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by measuring concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation, which may then be compared with those expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.The detection capabilities required by Table 4-3 are within state-of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. 4-3 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Table 4-1.

Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 500 ft 2 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/M 2 was obtained.4.1.3 Interlaboratory Comparison Program Analyses shall be performed on radioactive materials supplied as part of an Interlaboratory Comparison Program which satisfies the requirements of Regulatory Guide 4.15, Revision 1, February, 1979.4.1.3.1 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 1, 10 CFR 50.4-10 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 4.2 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING LOCATIONS Table 4-4 and Table 4-5 and Figure 4-1 through Figure 4-5 specify the locations at which the measurements and samples are taken for the REMP required by Section 4.1.1.4-i 1 VER29 4-11 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Table 4-4.

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 and 158 for upriver collections and between RMs 144 and 149.4 for downriver collections. (4) Sediment is collected at locations with existing or potential recreational value. High water shifting of the river bottom or other reasons 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, 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.

5.1 LIMIT
OF OPERATION In accordance with Technical Specification 5.5.4.j, the dose or dose commitment to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC over a calendar year, due to releases of radioactivity 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 Applicability This limit applies at all times.5.1.2 Actions With the calculated doses from the release of radioactive materials in liquid or gaseous effluents 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 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 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 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 is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete.This control does not affect shutdown requirements or MODE changes.5.1.3 Surveillance Requirements Cumulative dose contributions from liquid and gaseous effluents and from direct radiation shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.2. This requirement is applicable only under the conditions set forth above in Section 5.1.2.5.1.4 Basis 5-1 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 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 effluents 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, such as direct exposure from outside storage tanks, are kept small. The special 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 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 considered. If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR 190, the special report with a request for variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190.11 and 10 CFR 20.2203(a)(4), is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR 190, and does not apply in any way to the 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.5-2 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 5.2 DEMONSTRATION OF COMPLIANCE There are no other uranium fuel cycle facilities within 5 miles of the plant site.Therefore, for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with the limits of Section 5.1, the total dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC in the vicinity of the plant site due to uranium fuel cycle sources shall be determined as follows: DTk = DL + DG +Do + DN (5.1)where: DTk = the total dose or dose commitment to the total body or organ k, in mrem.DL = the dose to the same organ due to radioactivity discharged from the plant site in liquid effluents, calculated in accordance with Section 2.4.1, in mrem.DG = the dose to the same organ due to non-noble-gas radionuclides discharged from the plant site in gaseous effluents, calculated for the controlling receptor in accordance with Section 3.4.3, in mrem.DD = the direct radiation dose to the whole body of an individual at the controlling receptor location, due to radioactive materials retained within the plant site, in mrem. Values of direct radiation dose may be determined by measurement, calculation, or a combination of the two.DN = the external whole body dose to an individual at the controlling receptor location, due to gamma ray emissions from noble gas radionuclides discharged from the plant site in gaseous effluents, in mrem. DN is calculated as follows (equation adapted from Reference 1, page 22, by recasting in cumulative dose form): DN =3.17x1O8Z{X/Q)vp[K.j (5.2)where: 3.17 x 10-8 = a units conversion factor: 1 y/(3.15 x 10 7 s).(iv = the cumulative release of noble gas radionuclide i from release pathway v (pICi), during the period of interest.Ki =the total-body dose factor due to gamma emissions from noble gas radionuclide i (mrem/y)/(ýt Ci/m 3), from Table 3-5.5-3 VER29 5-3 VER 29 VEGP ODCM (XE-Q-)I = annual average relative dispersion factor for release pathway v, at the location of the controlling receptor, from Table 3-7[s/m 3].As defined above, DL and DG are for different age groups, while DD and DN are not age group specific. When a more precise determination of DTk is desired, values of DL and DG may be calculated for all four age groups, and those values used in equation (5.1) to determine age group specific values of DTk; the largest value of DTk for any age group may then be compared to the limits of Section 5.1.5-4 VER 29 VEGP ODCM CHAPTER 6 POTENTIAL DOSES TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DUE TO THEIR ACTIVITIES INSIDE THE SITE BOUNDARY 6.1 REQUIREMENT FOR CALCULATION To support the reporting requirements of Section 7.2.2.3, an assessment of the radiation doses from radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC due to their activities inside the SITE BOUNDARY shall be performed as specified in Section 6.2, at least once per calendar year.6.2 CALCULATIONAL METHOD For the purpose of performing the calculations required in Section 6.1, the dose to a member of the public inside the SITE BOUNDARY shall be determined at the locations, and for the receptor age groups, defined in Table 6-1. The dose to such a receptor at any one of the defined locations shall be determined as follows: Dik = [DA +DS +DP]'F. (6.1)where: Dik = the total dose to the total body or organ k, in mrem.DA = the dose to the same organ due to inhalation of non-noble-gas radionuclides discharged from the plant site in gaseous effluents, calculated in accordance with Section 3.4.3, in mrem. The FX1Q) value to be used is given for each receptor location in Table 6-1; depleted AM values may be used in calculations for non-noble-gas radionuclides. Ds = the dose to the same organ due to ground plane deposition of non-noble-gas radionuclides discharged from the plant site in gaseous effluents, calculated in accordance with Section 3.4.3, in mrem. The (LjQ) value to be used is given for each receptor location in Table 6-1.Dp = the external whole body dose due to gamma ray emissions from noble gas radionuclides discharged from the plant site in gaseous effluents, calculated using equation (5.2), in mrem. The AM values that are to be used are given for each receptor location in Table 6-1.6-1 VER29 6-1 VER 29 VEGP ODCM Fo = the occupancy factor for the given location, which is the fraction of the year that one individual MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is assumed to be present at the receptor location [unitless].

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.

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 aliquotted 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 concentrations of radioactive materials in CONTINUOUS RELEASES of liquid effluents, samples shall be collected in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream or to the quantity of liquid waste discharged. FREQUENCY NOTATION The FREQUENCY NOTATION specified for the performance of surveillance requirements shall correspond to the intervals defined below, with a maximum allowable extension not to exceed 25% of the surveillance interval.9-45 VER 29 VEGP ODCM NOTATION FREQUENCY S (Once per shift) At least once per 12 hours.D (Daily) At least once per 24 hours.W (Weekly) At least once per 7 days.M (Monthly) At least once per 31 days.Q (Quarterly) At least once per 92 days.SA (Semi-annually) At least once per 184 days.R (Refueling) At least once per 18 months.S/U (Startup) Prior to each reactor startup.NA Not applicable. P (Prior) Completed prior to each release.GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM A GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM shall be any system designed and installed to reduce radioactive gaseous effluents by collecting Reactor Coolant System offgases from the Reactor Coolant System and providing for delay or holdup for the purpose of reducing the total radioactivity prior to release to the environment. LIQUID 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 Regulatory Commission staffs Safety Evaluation Report (SER) (e.g., 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;(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 9-46 VER 29 VEGP ODCM (4) Changes in system design that could potentially result in a significant increase in occupational exposure of operating personnel (e.g., use of temporary equipment without adequate shielding provisions). MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC!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.MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRATION 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): where: MDC = the a priori MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRATION (gCi per unit mass or volume).2.71 + 3.29 Rb t +MDC= ts E V -2.22 x 10 6 Y .e- At Rb = the background counting rate, or the counting rate of a blank sample, as appropriate (counts per minute).ts = the length of the sample counting period (minutes). tb = the length of the background counting period (minutes). E = the counting efficiency (counts per disintegration) V = the sample size (units of mass or volume).2.22 x 106 = the number of disintegrations per minute per ýtCi.Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable. The italicized terms in this definition, which are not otherwise used in this ODCM, shall have the definitions assigned to them by 10 CFR 20.1003.2 Except as delineated in other parts of 10 CFR chapter I.9-47 VER 29 VEGP ODCM X = the radioactive decay constant for the given radionuclide (h-').Values of X used in effluent calculations should be based on decay data from a recognized and current source, such as Reference 20.At = for effluent samples, the elapsed time between the midpoint of sample collection and the time of counting (h); for environmental samples, the elapsed time between the end of sample collection and the time of counting (h).Typical values of E, V, Y, and At should be used in the calculation. It should be recognized that the MDC 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. PRINCIPAL GAMMA EMITTERS The PRINCIPAL GAMMA EMITTERS for which the MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRATION (MDC) limit applies include exclusively the following radionuclides:
- For liquid radioactive effluents:
Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, and Ce-141. Ce-144 shall also be measured, but with an MDC of 5 x 10.-6 LtCi/mL.* For gaseous radioactive effluents: In noble gas releases, Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, Xe-138; and in particulate releases, Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144.* For environmental media: The gamma emitters specifically listed in Table 4-3.These lists do not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered. Other gamma peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the above nuclides, shall also be analyzed and reported in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report, the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report, or other applicable report(s). SITE BOUNDARY For the purpose of effluent controls defined in the ODCM, the SITE BOUNDARY shall be as shown in Figure 4-1.SOURCE CHECK A SOURCE CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel sensor is exposed to a source of increased radioactivity. 9-48 VER 29 VEGP ODCM UNRESTRICTED AREA The UNRESTRICTED AREA shall be any area access to which is neither limited nor controlled by the licensee, or any area within the SITE BOUNDARY used for residential quarters or for industrial, commercial, institutional, and/or recreational purposes.VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM The 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 the release to the environment. (Such a system is not considered to have any effect on any noble gas effluents). Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) atmospheric cleanup systems are not considered to be VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM components. 9-49 VER 29 VEGP ODCM 10.2 TERMS DEFINED IN THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS The following terms are defined in the Technical Specifications, Section 1.0. Because they are used throughout the Limits of Operation sections of the ODCM, they are presented here for convenience. In the event of discrepancies between the definitions below and those in the Technical Specifications, the Technical Specification definitions shall take precedence. CHANNEL CALIBRATION A CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall be the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel, such that it responds within the required range and accuracy to known values of input. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass the entire channel including the required sensor, alarm, interlock, and/or trip functions and may be performed by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps, so that the entire channel is calibrated. CHANNEL CHECK A CHANNEL CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment of channel behavior during operation by observation. This determination shall include, where possible, comparison of the channel indication and/or status with other indications and/or status derived from independent instrument channels measuring the same parameter. CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT)A CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST shall be the injection of a simulated signal into the channel as close to the sensor as practicable to verify operability of required alarm, interlock, and/or trip functions. The CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST shall include adjustments, as necessary, of the required alarm, interlock, and/or trip setpoints, so that the setpoints are within the required range and accuracy.DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 shall be that concentration of 1-131 (ýtCi/g) which alone would produce the same thyroid dose as the quantity and isotopic mixture of 1-131, 1-132, 1-133, 1-134, and 1-135 actually present. The thyroid dose conversion factors used for this calculation shall be those listed in EPA Federal Guidance Report No. 11, "Limiting Values of Radionuclide Intake and Air Concentration and Dose Conversion Factors for Inhalation, Submersion, and Ingestion," EPA-520/1-88-020, September 1988.MODE (or OPERATIONAL MODE)An OPERATIONAL MODE shall correspond to any one inclusive combination of core reactivity condition, power level, average reactor coolant temperature, and reactor vessel head closure bolt tensioning specified in Section 1.0 of the Technical Specifications with fuel in the reactor vessel.9-50 VER 29 VEGP ODCM OPERABLE (or OPERABILITY) OPERABILITY exists when a system, subsystem, train, component or device is capable of performing its specified function(s), and when all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, electrical power, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component or device to perform its function(s) are also capable of performing their related support function(s).
