1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to provide the parameters and methodology tobe used in calculating offsite doses and effluent monitor setpoints forthe Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2. Included aremethods for determining maximum individual, whole-body, and organ dosesdue to waterborne and airborne effluents to ensure compliance with thedose limitations in the Technical Specifications. Methods are includedfor~ performing dose calculations to ensure compliance with the waterborneand airborne treatment system operability sections of the TechnicalSpecifications. This manual includes the methods used for determiningquarterly individual doses for inclusion in Effluent and Waste DisposalSemiannual Reports.
The dose models consider two release modes: airborne and waterborne. Allairborne effluents are treated as ground-level'eleases. Dose to each ofthe seven organs listed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (bone, liver, totalbody, thyroid, kidney, lung, and GI-LLI) are computed based on theindividual nuclide composition of the effluent. The largest of the dosesare compared to 10 CFR 50, Appendix I design objectives.
Liquid effluents discharged into a river undergo mixing prior toconsumption as either potable water or through the fish pathway. Forreleases to the Susquehanna River, river model dilution factors are used.Doses to the seven critical organs are determined from individual nuclidecontributions and are compared to the 10 CFR 50 Appendix I designobjectives. Compliance with the 10 CFR 20 maximum permissibleconcentrations is done on a batch-by-batch basis prior to discharge.
This manual discusses the methodology to be used in determining effluentmonitor alarm/trip setpoints to be used to ensure compliance with theinstantaneous release rate'limits in the Technical Specifications. Methodsare described for determining the annual cumulative dose to a realindividual from liquid effluents, gaseous effluents, and direct radiationfor critical organs to ensure compliance with 40 CFR 190 limits. The
~~~ 21198g
calculational methodology for doses are based on models and data that make
it unlikely to substantially underestimate the actual exposure of an
individual through any of the appropriate pathways.
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is described in Section9.0 of the manual, which includes the annual land use census survey and
interlaboratory comparison program.
It is the responsibility of the Superintendent of Plant-Susquehanna toensure that this manual is used in performance of the surveillancerequirements and for compliance with the limiting conditions of operationsstated in the Technical Specifications. It is the responsibility of theManager-Nuclear Services to ensure adequacy and correctness ofcalculational approaches.

SPECIFICATION 3.3.7.10 - THE RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITORINGI S RUM N TI N SH WN IN TABLE 3.3.7.10-1 SHALL BE OPERABLE WITHTHEIR ALARM/TRIP SETPOINTS SET TO ENSURE THAT THE LIMITS OFSPECIFICATION 3.11.1.1 ARE NOT EXCEEDED. THE ALARM/TRIP SETPOINTSOF THESE CHANNELS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEMETHODOLOGY AND PARAMETERS DESCRIBED IN THE OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATIONMANUAL (ODCM).
A-gross radioactivity monitor providing automatic termination of
liquid effluent releases is present on the liquid radwaste effluent
line. Flow rate measurement devices are also present on the liquidradwaste effluent line and the discharge line (cooling tower
blowdown). Precautions, limitations, and setpoints applicable to
the operation of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station liquideffluent monitors are provided in the applicable plant procedures.
Setpoint values are to be calculated to ensure that alarm and tripactions occur upon approaching the MPC limits of 10 CFR 20 at the
release point to the unrestricted area. The calculated alarm and
trip action setpoints for the liquid effluent monitor and each flow
measurement device must satisfy the following equation:
cf
where:
C = the liquid effluent concentration limit implementing 10 CFR20 for unrestricted areas (uCi/ml).
c = the setpoint (uCi/ml) of the radioactive liquid effluentmonitor measuring the radioactivity concentration in theeffluent line prior to dilution and subsequent release.
the radwaste discharge flow setpoint, in volume per unittime, in the same uni ts as F.
the dilution (cooling tower blowdown) water flow setpointas measured prior to injection of the radwaste, in volumeper unit time.
Radioactive liquid effluents from the SSES are orily discharged as
batch releases and are discharged through the liquid radwaste
effluent line. The radioactive liquid waste stream is diluted in
the plant discharge (cooling tower blowdown) line prior to entering
the Susquehanna River. The limiting batch release concentration (c)
corresponding to the liquid radwaste effluent line monitor setpoint
is calculated from the above expression. The MPC value used for the
liquid effluent concentration limit (C) 'in the above expression for'he
liquid radwaste effluent line monitor setpoint is 1 x 10
uCi/ml or the actual MPC for identified mixtures. Therefore, the
expression for determining the setpoint on the liquid radwaste
effluent line monitor becomes:
c ~ (1 x 10 ) —(uci/ml)'fIn order to prevent spurious isolations by the LRW effluent
radiation monitor, the setpoint concentration, (c) can be defined
as:
c = X(A)
where (A) is the actual tank concentration and X > 1
The setpoint dilution factor must then be some factor, Y (where Y >
X), times the minimum dilution factor.
~ e
1t, i
where F + f = the minimum dilution factorf M
F+f = Y((Af NPC
where F + f = the setpoint dilution factorf
The requirements of Equation (2) are then met as follows:
Y(A) = MPC F + ff
Since, by definition, Y > X and Y(A) P X(A), then:I
(c) = X(A) NPC F + f)f
The setpoint concentration (c) can be converted to a setpoint count
rate by use of the monitor calibration factor.
(Eq. 3)
Setpoint (cpm) = c uCi/ml + Background (cpm)Cal. Factor (uCi/ml per cpm)
The setpoint for the dilution water flow (cooling tower blowdown) is
5000 gpm from either cooling tower basin. The setpoint for the LRW
discharge flow can then be determined from:
(Eq. 4)
Sample calculations for determining the release concentration limits
and setpoints are given in Section A.l.1 of Appendix A.
The Service Water System provides screened water from the cooling
tower basin for cooling plant systems and equipment. The Residual
Heat Removal (RHR) Service Water System provides water" from the
QEC 4 1 1989
Engineered Safeguard Service Water (ESSW) spray pond to the RHR heat
exchangers. In post-accident conditions, RHR Service Water can
supply water for vessel and containment flooding. The Service Water
and RHR Service Water Systems are not normal pathways for liquid
effluents. Radiation monitors are in place on these systems to
provide indication of leaks across heat exchangers into the service
water. The high radiation setpoints for these monitors *are set at
2E-5 uCi/cc cesium-137 equivalent. Considering the radionuclides
predominant in SSES liquid effluents, e.g., Co-58, Co-60, Fe-59,
Mn-54 and Cr,-51, use of a setpoint based on the Cs-137 MPC is
conservative based on the following parameters:
1) photon abundance (85%)
2) magnitude of applicable MPC (2E-5 uCi/cc)
Because Service Water 5 RHR Service Water are not normal release
pathways for liquid effluents, no credit should be taken for
possible dilution scenarios. All service water should be maintained
below 2E-5 uCi/cc Cs-137 equivalent.
In order to minimize the chance of a change in the background of a
monitor masking a significant trend in monitored activity, the alarm
setpoints for the Service Water and RHR Service Water monitors are
determined as follows:
a .. When moni tor background < (2E-5)/Gal . Factor:
HI RAD Setpoint = 0.5 Background + (2E-5)/Cal. Factor
DOWNSCALE or.
LOW RAD Setpoint = 0.5 Background
b. When monitor background >(2E-5)/Cal. Factor:
HI RAD Setpoint = Background + 0.5 (2E-5)/Cal. Factor
DOWNSCALE or
LOW RAD Setpoint = Background - 0.5 (2E-5)/Cal. Factor
Where:
Setpoint = Alarm threshold value to be entered into monitor
(cps for Service Water, cpm for RHR Service
Water).
Background = Monitor background at most recent background
determination (cps for Service Water, cpm for,
RHR Service Water).
(2E-5) , = Cs-137 Maximum Permissible Concentration
(uCi/ml).
Cal. Factor = Monitor response factor per unit Cs-137
concentration determined during most recent
~ ~
calibration (uCi/ml per cps for Service Water,
uCi/ml per cpm for RHR Service Water).
The ALERT RAD setpoints for the RHR Service Water monitors are
maintained at 80% of the applicable HI RAD setpoint (cpm).
2.2 AIRBORNE EFFLUENT MONITORS
SPECIFICATION 3.3.7.11 - THE RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITORINGNS R M N N CH N ELS SHOWN IN TABLE 3.3.7. 11-1 SHALL BE OPERABLE
WITH THEIR ALARM/TRIP SETPOINTS SET TO ENSURE THAT THE LIMITS OFSPECIFICATION 3.11.2.1 ARE NOT EXCEEDED. THE ALARM/TRIP SETPOINTSOF THESE CHANNELS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEMETHODOLOGY AND PARAMETERS IN THE ODCM.
Noble gas activity monitors, iodine samplers, and practiculate
samplers are present on the reactor building ventilation system
(Units 1 and 2), the turbine building ventilation system (Units 1.
and 2), and the standby gas treatment system exhaust vents.
Effluent system flow rate and sampler flow rate are measured on allof the systems allowing the vent monitor microprocessor to calculate
release rates based on measured flow rates. Precautions,
limitations, and setpoints applicable to the operation of the SSES
airborne effluent monitors are provided in the applicable plant
procedures. Setpoints are conservatively established for each
effluent monitor so that the instantaneous dose rates corresponding
to 10 CFR 20 annual dose limits in unrestricted areas will not be
exceeded.
The general methodology for establishing plant ventilation airborne
effluent monitor setpoints is based upon vent release rates derived
from site-specific meteorological dispersion conditions, vent flow
OEc ~ ~ i9s9
rates, and measured or expected radionuclide mixtures in the gaseous
effluents. The vent release rate can then be converted to vent
concentrations for input as setpoints for the applicable detectors.
Since the vent monitors are programmed to calculate concentrations
of iodine-131 and particulate being released based on the rate of
accumulation of activity on the filters, setpoints can be
established for the iodine and particulate channels.
The following method is used for calculating vent monitor high radiation
alarm setpoints:
1. An isotopic mixture is selected for the detector in question, ifapplicable. Noble gas and particulate detector setpoints are based
on actual isotopic mixtures obtained from vent sample analysis or
the FSAR/FES expected release mixtures if actual samples do not
contain sufficient detectable activity to accurately estimate the
mixtures. The assumed isotopic mixtures are periodically reviewed
to'erify that they remain representative of plant effluents.
2. The selected noble gas or particulate mixture is used in the GASPAR
program run to calculate the associated doses. The total source
term (total curies used for the calculation) does not matter as long
as the proper nuclides are present in the relative proportions
indicated in sample analysis data or FSAR/FES tables.
For the iodine-131 setpoint, any release total for I-131 can be
entered. The highest calculated annual average relative
10
~ ~
concentrations (X/qs) at the site boundary are used for these GASPAR
calculations.
3. The following ratio concept is used to calculate a release rate
limit for the assumed mixture (or I-131):
Calculated Dose mremTota GASPAR Source Term Ci
Dose Rate Limit mrem/ rLimiting Release Rate Ci/yr
The limiting release rate of the assumed mixture (or I-131) can
therefore be calculated:
Limiting Release (Ci/yr)
Total GASPAR Source Term, Ci Dose Rate Limit, mrem/ rCa cu ated Dose, mrem
(Eq. 5)
For the noble gas setpoint', the calculated whole body and skin dose
rates via the plume pathway are subject to the 10 CFR 20-derived
limits of 500 and 3000 mrem/yr, respectively. The whole-body dose
rate limit is usually most restrictive. For particulates and foriodine-131, the maximum calculated organ dose rate via the
inhalation pathway is subject to the limit of 1500 mrem/yr.
4. The limiting release rates are converted to limiting vent
concentrations using high limit vent flow rates.

(Eq. 6)
Sample calculations of waterborne and airborne effluent monitor
setpoints are presented in Section A. 1.2 of Appendix A.
Vent flow rates and sample flow rates are monitored and recorded for
each of the five SSES release points. The measured flow rates are
used to calculate vent concentrations and release rates. Flow
channel setpoints are set at approximately 10% and 90% of the
calibrated sensor ranges to provide indication of possibly abnormal
flow rates.
The main condenser offgas pre-treatment monitor provides indication
of offgas activity prior to input to the holdup system. Alarm
setpoints are based on two times and three times the steady state
full power offgas'activity readings.
SPECIFICATION 3.11.2.6 - THE CONCENTRATION OF HYDROGEN OR OXYGEN INGAS TREATMENT SYSTEM SHALL BE LIMITED TO LESS
THAN OR EQUAL TO 4'X BY VOLUME.
Hydrogen recombiners are used at SSES to maintain the relative
concentration of components of potentially explosive gas mixtures
outside the explosive envelope. The main condenser offgas treatment
system explosive gas monitoring system (offgas hydrogen analyzers)
have setpoints to alarm at 1% and 2X hydrogen.

FOR DISSOLVED OR ENTRAINEDNOBLE GASES, THE CONCENTRATION SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE CONCENTRATIONSSPECIFIED IN TABLE 3.11.1.1-1.
Liquid batch releases are controlled individually and each batch
release is authorized based upon sample analysis and the existing
dilution flow in the discharge line. The methods for sampling and
analysis of each batch prior to release are given in the applicable
plant procedures. A release rate limit is calculated for each batch
based upon analysis, dilution flow and all procedural conditions being
met before it is authorized for release.

5.0 INDIVIDUAL DOSE DUE TO WATERBORNE EFFLUENT
SPECIFICATION 3.11.1.2 - THE DOSE OR DOSE COMMITMENT TO A MEMBER OF THEU L D E MATERIALS IN LIQUID EFFLUENTS RELEASED FROM EACH
REACTOR UNIT TO UNRESTRICTED AREAS (SEE FIGURE 5.1.3-1) SHALL BE LIMITED:
a. DURING ANY CALENDAR QUARTER TO LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 1.5 MREM TO THETOTAL 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 NREM TO THE TOTALBODY AND TO LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 10 MREM TO ANY ORGAN.
The calculations of dose received by the hypothetical maximally exposed
individual from the ingestion of fish and drinking water are based on the
nearest public drinking water intake location (Danville Water Authority).Dose contributions from recreation, boating, and swimming have been shown
to be negligible in the NRC 10 CFR 50 Appendix I dose analysis (June 1976)
and do not need to be routinely evaluated.
The following expression is used to calculate the ingestion pathway dose
contributions for the total release period for each batch release from allradionuclides identified in the liquid effluents released to unrestricted
areas:
D= A. (AtCi F)
where:
(Eq. IO)
D~= the cumulative dose commitment to the total body or any organ (w)from the liquid effluents for the time period, 4t, of each batchrelease (mrem).
4t = the length of the time period for a batch release over which C,.and F are averaged for all liquid releases (hr);
C,. = the average concentration of radionuclide (i) in undilutedliquid effluent during time period, ~t, for any liquid effluentbatch release (uCi/ml).
21
F = the discharge line dilution factor for C. during any liquideffluent batch release. Defined as the hatio of the maximumundiluted liquid radwaste effluent line flow during releaseto the average flow from the plant discharge line tounrestricted receiving waters.
A . = the composite dose parameter for the total body or any organz) for each identified principal gamma and beta emitter (i)mrem/hr per uCi/ml) (see Equation 11, Table 5).
A. = k ((U + Uf BF.)/D ) DF. (Eq. 11)
where:
k = conversion factor of 1. 1 x 10 = 10 Ci/uCi 10 ml/k5 6
r yr
U = a receptor person's water consumption by age group fromRegulatory Guide 1. 109, Table E-5.
Dw= the dilution factor from the near field area of the release
point to potable water intake. (The nearest potable waterintake is located at Danville; dilution factors based on riverlevel are given in Table D-l of Appendix D. These dilutionfactors are based on fluorescent dye tracer studies conductedat various river levels during 1985.)
Uf,= a receptor person's fish consumption by age group fromRegulatory Guide 1. 109, Table E-5.
BF,. = the bioaccumulation factor for nuclide (i) in fish (pCi/kg perpCi/1) from Regulatory Guide 1.109, Table A-1.
DF,. = the dose conversion factor for nuclide (i) in a receptorperson for pre-selected organ (w), (mrem/pCi) from RegulatoryGuide 1.109, Tables E-ll, E-12, E-13, and E-14.
The projected quarterly dose contribution from batch releases for which
radionuclide concentrations are determined by periodic composite sample
analysis, as stated in Table 4. 11-1 of the SSES Technical Specification
may be approximated by assuming an average concentration based on the
previous monthly or quarterly composite analysis.
OEC g i >9N
22
However, for reporting purposes, the calculated dose contributions from these
radionuclides shall be based on the actual composite analysis. The cumulative
dose commitment to the total body or, any organ for a quarterly or annual
analysis shall be based on the calculated dose contributions from each batch
release occurring during that time period.
In actual practice, the LADTAP computer code developed by the NRC to implement
the liquid dose methodology of Regulatory Guide 1.109 will be used to perform'he
individual liquid pathway dose calculations for the SSES. The methods
outlined above are consistent with those of the LADTAP code; site specific

The cumulative 'dose to any member of the public due to radioactivereleases from the SSES site is determined by summing the calculated doses
to critical organs from the previously discussed effluent sources. The
annual dose to critical organs of a real individual for the liquideffluents 'is determined by using Equations 10 and 11 of Section 5. The

The direct radiation from the siteshould be determined from the environmental monitoring program's directradiation (TLD) monitors. Since all other uranium fuel cycle sources aregreater than 20 miles away, only the SSES site need be considered as a
uranium fuel cycle source for meeting the EPA regulations.

8.0 OPERABILITY OF WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS

The SSES liquid waste treatment system utilizes two 300 fthorizontal centrifugal discharge. type filters with 200 gpm normal
flow. Liquid from the filters enter a mixed bed demineralizer with- a volume of 140 ft and normal flow rate of 200 gpm. High

conductivity waste is treated in two stainless steel "pot boiler"evaporators which are heated with auxiliary steam. There are two
chemical waste neutralization tanks with 28,000 gal capacity. Low
conductivity liquid wastes are collected in three pairs of LRW surgetanks. A flow diagram of the liquid radwaste treatment system isshown in Figure 1.
Appropriate treatment for liquid effluents from SSES is defined inODCM Policy Statement 10.6. In cases when a batch of liquid waste
must be released with treatment less than that specified in Secti,on10.6, a dose assessment using LADTAP or the methodology of Section5.0 shall be performed prior to release to ensure that the limits ofSpecification 3. 11. 1.3 are not exceeded.

The SSES offgas treatment system operates with four steam jet airejectors maintaining condenser vacuum. Noncondensible gases arepassed through one of three combiners (one for each reactor unitplus a common recombiner), reducing the amount of gases to be
filtered and released. Gases pass through a two to nine minuteholdup pipe before entering the offgas treatment system, whichconsists of two 100 percent capacity systems per reactor unit. Each
system consists of inlet HEPA filters, precoolers, chillers,reheaters, guard beds, and five charcoal absorbers and an outletHEPA filter. Monitored, filtered air then exits to the turbinebuilding vent. A flow diagram of the offgas and recombiner systemis shown in Figure 3.
Filtered exhaust systems serve selected areas of Zone I, II, and IIIof the SSES reactor building. The Zone I and Zone II equipmentcompartment and Zone III filtered exhaust systems each consist oftwo 100K capacity redundant fans and two 55K capacity filter trains.Each filter train has, in the direction of air flow, roughingfilters, upstream HEPA filters, a charcoal filter bed, and
downstream HEPA filters. Exhaust fan discharge is then routed tothe atmosphere via the reactor building vents, where effluents arecontinuously sampled and monitored.
The turbine building filtered exhaust system draws air from thoseareas of the building that are most likely to become contaminated.Two 100K capacity fans serve each system, which contains two 50K
capacity filter housings made up of a particulate prefilter, an
upstream HEPA filter, a charcoal filter, and a downstream HEPA
filter. Discharged air is released via the turbine building vents,which are continuously sampled and monitored.
The radwaste building filtered exhaust system draws potentiallycontaminated air from selected areas of the radwaste building. The
32OEC < t ~s89
I ~
system contains two 100% capacity fans and two 50% capacity filterhousings, each containing a particulate filter bank and a HEPA
filter. Filtered air is discharged via the turbine building vent.
In order to minimize the quantities of radioactivity in airborne. effluents from the station, the ventilation exhaust treatment
(filtered exhaust) systems are normally kept in service at SSES. As
'equired, evaluations are performed to determine if components can
be removed from service when the need arises for maintenance,testing, etc. In order to properly project the dose consequences ofremoval of a exhaust treatment component from service, there are two
options:
1. Take samples in the system in question, upstream of thefilter trains, in order to characterize what would be
released if the component was removed from service as
proposed.
2. Take samples from the affected vent after the component has
been removed from service, and evaluate whether it can
remain out of service based on the analysis results.
Because the current plant design does not provide for samplingexhaust systems upstream of treatment, the following procedure isused to determine appropriate treatment of ventilation exhaust airwhen components must be removed from service:
A. Within two hours of removal of the component from service, new
particulate and iodine filters are placed in the system whichcontinuously samples and monitors the vent which ultimatelyreceives the flow from the component in question.
O~~ 3 1 1989
B. After a period of sample collection long enough to provideacceptable analytical sensitivities, the filters are retrievedand analyzed via gamma spectroscopy. Release rates 'are
determined for particulate and iodine nuclides.

'
I \ ~
C. The following equation is used to estimate the projected dosesthat would result if those releases rates were to persist for 31
days:
PROJD = (PRR x 0.189) + (IRR x 0.135)
where: PROJD = the estimated maximum projected dose at orbeyond the site boundary over a 31-day periodattributable to release rates PRR and IRR
(mi llirem).
PRR = the total release rate of radionuclides inparticulate form (uCi/minute).
IRR = the total radioiodine .release rate (uCi/minute).
0. 189 = a factor to convert gross particulate releaserate to a dose over 31 days. Based on theexpected nuclide composition of SSES effluentsfrom NUREG-0564, meteorological data collectedover 1984-1988, and land-use census results from1988. Calculated using GASPAR.
0. 135 = a factor to convert gross radioiodine releaserate to a dose over 31 days. Based on the same
assumptions as above.
D. Based on the projected dose value (PROJD), appropriate treatmentis defined as follows:
l. IF PROJD is 0.03 millirem or less, the component inquestion can remain out of service. If the component
remains out of service for an extended time period, an
evaluation will be performed at least once each 31 days,based on recent vent sample analyses performed as part of theroutine surveillance program. The value of 0.03 millirem is
34OEC
5 1 f989
10$ of the 0.3 millirem action level for use of appropriateportions of the treatment systems. When projected doses arebelow this level, the exhaust stream in question is not a
significant contributor to offsite doses attributable to thesite.
2. If PROJD is 0.3 millirem or greater, the component inquestion must be returned to service as soon as it can be
returned to an operable state.
3. If PROJD is above 0.03 but less than 0.3 millirem, a more
detailed assessment is required. Particulate, iodine,and tritium release rates for the entire unit (reactorbuilding vent, turbine building vent, and 1/2 of the SGTS
vent) are determined based on the most recent vent sample
analyses available. These release rates are then convertedto release totals (curies) over 31 days for all positivelydetected radionuclides, and input to the GASPAR program tocalculate the projected dose totals over 31 days. If themaximum dose exceeds 0.3 millirem, the component must be
returned to service as soon as it 'can be returned to an
operable state. If the maximum dose is 0.3 millirem or less,the component can remain out of service in the same manner as
in case 1 above.
8. 3 SOLID WASTE TREATMENT
SPECIFICATION 3.11.3 - THE'SOLID RADWASTE SYSTEM SHALL BE USED INOCESS CONTROL PROGRAM, FOR THE PROCESSING AND
PACKAGING OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES TO ENSURE MEETING THE REQUIREMENTSOF 10 CFR PART 20010 CFR PART 71, AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS COVERINGTHE DISPOSAL OF THE WASTE.
The SSES sol.id radwaste system was designed to solidify all wetwastes for ultimate offsite disposal. There are two Backwash
Receiving Tanks, one per unit, which collect two filter-demineralizer backwashes per tank (2450 gal capacity). Air spargersfor resin mixing are driven by instrument air. Regeneration Waste
35 ~~~5 i 1989
~ ~
Surge Tanks (4) and Phase Separators (3) have internal mixingeductors for sludge mixing driven by recirculation flow. The SpentResin Tank has a reversible progressing cavity pump and internalmixing eductors. Two solidification trains have waste mixing tankprogressing cavity feed and mixing pumps, and screw conveyors forfeeding of dry Portland cement. Mixing is facilitated by theaddition of sodium silicate. Common solidification equipmentincludes waste container fillport, transfer cart, capper washdown
station, and swipe tool; cement silo with rotary feed valve,aeration blower, baghouse, and exhaust fan; sodium silicate tank and
pump. Vendor, solidification services may be used in accordance withthe SSES Process Control Program to supplement the plantsolidification system or to take the place of the plant system when
the plant system is out of service.
A flow diagram of the SSES solid radwaste treatment system is shown
in Figure 3. Dry contaminated waste processing is depicted inFigure 4.
Dry contaminated solids may be compacted with a drum compactor into55-gallon drums or with a box compactor into steel boxes. The trashcompactors utilize hydraulic press pistons with exhaust fans and
HEPA filters. In addition, dry contaminated solids may be processedusing vendor supercompaction and incineration services. An
automated dry active waste (DAM) monitoring system is used tosegregate radioactive from non-radioactive solid waste.

9.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
9. 1 DEFINITIONS
Once in each calendar week at intervals ofapproximately 7 days, plus or minus 2 days.
Semi-Monthly: Twice each calendar month at intervals ofapproximately 15 days, plus or minus 4 days.
Monthly: Once each calendar month at intervals ofapproximately 30 days, plus or minus 6 days.
quarterly: Once in each three month period of a calendar year atintervals of approximately 13 weeks, plus or minus 3weeks.
9. 2 MONITORING PROGRAM
SPECIFICATION 3.12.1 - THE RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORINGPROGRAM SHALL BE CONDUCTED AS SPECIFIED IN TABLE 3. 12.1-1.
Environmental samples shall be collected and analyzed (as a minimum)according to Table 7 at locations shown in Figures 5 and 6.Analytical techniques used shall ensure that the detectioncapabilities in Table 8 are achieved.
A dust loading study (RMC-TR-81-01) was conducted to assure that theproper transmission factor was used in calculating gross betaactivity of air particulate samples. This study concluded that thesample collection frequency of once per week was sufficient and thatthe use of 1 for the transmission correction factor for gross betaanalysis of air particulate samples is valid.
The charcoal sampler cartridges used in the airborne radioiodinesampling program (Science Applications, Inc., Model CP-100) aredesigned and tested by the manufacturer to assure a high quality ofradioiodine capture. A certificate from the manufacturer issupplied and retained with each batch of cartridges certifying thepercent retention of radioiodine versus air flow rate through thecartridge.

The results of the radiological environmental monitoring program areintended to supplement the results of the radiological effluentmonitoring by verifying that the measurable concentrations ofradioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher thanexpected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling ofthe environmental exposure pathways. Thus, the specifiedenvironmental monitoring program provides measurements of radiationand of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and forthose radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiationexposures of individuals resulting from station operation. Program
changes may be proposed based on operational experience. Deviationsare permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens areunobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability,malfunction of automatic sampling equipment, and other legitimatereasons. If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipmentmalfunction, an effort shall be made to complete corrective actionprior to the end of the next sampling period. All deviations fromthe sampling schedule shall be documented in the annual report.Reporting requirements for the radiological environmentalsurveillance program are given in Appendix B.
9.3 CENSUS PROGRAM
SPECIFICATION 3. 12.2 - A LAND-USE CENSUS SHALL BE CONDUCTED ANDN A DISTANCE OF 8 KM (5 MILES) THE LOCATION IN
EACH OF THE 16 METEOROLOGICAL SECTORS OF THE NEAREST MILK ANIMAL,THE NEAREST RESIDENCE AND THE NEAREST GARDEN* OF GREATER THAN 50 M~
(500 FT~) PRODUCING BROAD LEAF VEGETATION.
*Broad leaf vegetation sampling of at least three different kinds ofvegetation may be performed at the site boundary in each of twodirection sectors with the highest predicted 0/g's in lieu of thegarden census. Specifications for broad leaf vegetation samplingin Table 3. 12.1-1, item 4C shall be followed, including analysis ofcontrol samples.
~ y
If a land use census identifies a location(s) with a higher averageannual deposition rate (D/Q) than a current indicator location, thefollowing shall apply:
1. If the D'/Q is at least 20 percent greater than a previously high D/Q,the new location shall be added to the program within 30 days. The
indicator location having the lowest D/Q may be dropped from theprogram after October 31st of the year in which the land use censuswas conducted.
2. If the D/Q is not 20 percent greater than the previously highest D/Q,direction, distance, and 0/Q will be .considered in deciding whetherto replace one of the existing sample locations. If applicable,replacement shall be within 30 days.
Any evaluations of possible location replacement should include the pasthistory of the location, availability of sample, milk production history,and other applicable environmental conditions.
A land use census will be conducted at least once per calendar year by a
door-to-door or aerial survey, by consulting local agriculturalauthorities, or by any combination of these methods.
9.4 INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM
SPECIFICATION 3.12.3 - ANALYSES SHALL BE PERFORMED ON RADIOACTIVE
MATERIALS SUPPLIED AS PART OF AN INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM WHICH
HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION.
The laboratories of the licensee and licensee's contractors whichperform analyses shall participate in the Environmental ProtectionAgency's (EPA's) Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory IntercomparisonsStudies (Crosscheck) Program or an equivalent program which has been
approved by the Commission. This participation shall include some ofthe determinations (sample medium-radionuclide combination) that areoffered by EPA and that are also included in the monitoring program.
43~~~ 1 i 1989
~ ~
The results of the analyses of these crosscheck samples shall be
included in the annual report.
If the results of analyses performed by the licensee or licensee'scontractor in conjunction with the EPA crosscheck program (or equivalentprogram) are outside the specified control limits, the laboratory shallinvestigate the cause of the problem and take steps to correct it. The
results of this investigation and corrective action shall be included inthe RENP annual report.

aThe LLD is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a samplethat will be detected with 95 percent probability and with 5 percentprobability of falsely. concluding that a blank observation represents a"real" signal.
For a particular measurement system (which may include radiochemicalseparation):
LLD = 4.66 sb
2.22 EVY exp - dt)where:
LLD is the "a priori" lower limit of detection as defined above (as pCiper unit mass or volume).
s„ is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of thec5unting rate of a blank sample as appropriate .(as counts per minute)
E is the counting efficiency (as counts per transformation)
V is the sample size (in units of mass or volume)
2.22 is the number of disintegrations per. minute per picocurie
Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)
g is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide, and
ht is the elapsed time between sample collection (or end of the sample, collection period) and time of counting.
In calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma-rayspectrometry, the background should include the contributions of other radio-nuclides normally present in the samples (e.g., potassium-40 milk samples).Typical values for E, V, Y, and t should be used in the calculations.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a griori (before thefact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as aposteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.b

10.0 DOSE ASSESSMENT POLICY STATEMENTS
10.1 Selection of Anal sis Results for Dose Calculations
For determination of compliance with SSES Technical Specificationdose limits, effluent totals shall be based only on activitypositively detected at the 95'A confidence level.
10.2 Assi nment of Releases to the Reactor Units
For determination of compliance with SSES radioactive effluent dose
limits which are on a "per reactor unit" basis:
a. Effluents from the Unit 1 Reactor Building vent and the Unit 1
Turbine Building vent shall be included as Unit 1 releases.
b. Effluents from the Unit 2 Reactor Building vent and the Unit 2
Turbine Building vent shall be included as Unit 2 releases.
c. Effluents from the Standby Gas Treatment System vent shall be
equally divided between Unit 1 and Unit 2 release totals.
d. Waterborne effluents shall be equally divided between Unit 1
and Unit 2 release totals.
10.3 Criteria for Potential Unmonitored Release Pathwa s
Doses from effluent pathways other than the usual, monitoredpathways shall be included in determining compliance with site dose
limits if an assessment made in accordance with the parameters and
assumptions of the ODCM indicates'that the total calculated dose
contribution from unmonitored pathways exceeds 5X of the calculateddose from normal, monitored pathways.

10.4 Flow from the SGTS Vent when the S stem is Not in Use
When the Standby Gas Treatment is not being used, there remains a
small amount of flow from the SGTS vent. This residual flow isexhaust from the battery rooms in the control structure. Because
there are no identifiable sources of radioactivity in these rooms,auxiliary particulate and iodine sample and noble gas grab sampleat 4-hour intervals are not required from the SGTS vent when theSGTS continuous vent monitor is out of service, provided that-
a. the Standby Gas Treatment System is not being used,
b. there are proper administrative controls in place to ensurethat the required sampling will begin within 4 hours if thetreatment system is operated.
10.5 ODCM Set pints are U er Limit Values
Effluent monitor alarm/trip setpoints calculated in accordancewith the ODCM shall be considered upper limit values. Higher(less conservative) setpoints shall not be used, however lower(more conservative) setpoints may be used as required to maximizethe utility of the monitor.
10.6 Definition of "A ro riate Treatment" for Li uid Wastes
Technical Specification 3. 11. 1.3 requires that the appropriateportions of the liquid waste treatment system be operable and be
used to reduce radioactivity in liquid wastes prior to theirrelease when projected doses from each reactor unit tounrestricted areas would exceed 0.06 mrem to the total body or 0.2mrem to any organ in a 31 day period. Appropriate treatment isdefined as follows:
a. Filtration combined with demineralization is considered
appropriate treatment for batches which yield projected doses
greater than 6.54E-04 mrem to the total body or 2. 15E-03 mrem
to any organ.
53 UE('1889,
b. Filtration alone is considered appropriate treatment forbatches which yield projected doses less than or equal to6.54E-04 mrem to the total body and 2.15E-03 mrem to any
organ.
BASES
The projected dose threshold values used are derived by dividingthe site-total maximum projected doses without treatment (0. 12 and
0.4 mrem) by 31 days and by 6, the maximum possible number ofbatches released per day, to yield per-batch dose action levels.The two levels of "appropriate" treatment are in place so as notto require application of demineralization for treating lowactivity, high conductivity water (e.g., from Circulating orService Water leakage). This would increase the overallefficiency of the solid radwaste program while ensuring calculateddoses remain at a suitable fraction of 10 CFR 50 designobjectives.
10.7 Monitor Line Loss Corrections

10.8 Selection of Data for Determination of Dose Rate Com liance
Airborne effluent monitor setpoints are maintained in accordancewith Section 2.2 to alarm before the dose rate limits ofSpecification 3. 11.2. 1 are exceeded. Station alarm responseprocedures contain instructions for investigation and verificationof monitor alarms. Because setpoint. calculations must includeassumptions about the composition of the monitored effluent, a
monitor high alarm does not necessarily indicate that a dose ratelimit has been exceeded. Dose rate calculations can be performedusing the methodology contained in the worksheets contained inAppendix E, based on vent monitor data or vent sample analyses.
For determination of compliance with the airborne effluent dose
rate limits, vent monitor history data should be used with theshortest averaging period which covers the period, of interest.The dose rate limits shall be treated as instantaneous limits, and
an effort should be made to capture all available data in the'arly stages of response to an incident to prevent loss of thedata.
Valid ten-minute averaged data should be the primary informationused to determine the compliance status of an incident.One-minute averaged data should also be reviewed if available, butthey may or may not provide additional information depending on
the magnitude of the release due to the manner in which the
55 OEG g 1 >989

~
q'A
, ~
monitors update values to be stored and associated statisticalconsiderations. Averages over a longer period should be used onlywhen data with higher resolution is not available. Grab sample
analyses should be performed whenever possible to confirm ordisprove monitor data, and to provide indication of thenuclide-specific composition of the effluent. When grab sample
data are available which, based on vent monitor data, areindicative of the period of elevated release, dose ratecalculations should be performed using the methodology of AppendixE and the actual effluent mix. The determination of compliancestatus should not be based on monitor data alone when it ispossible to collect and analyze a vent sample which will be
representative of the period of elevated release.
10.9 Low-Level Radioactivit in the Sewa e Treatment Plant
Like all sewage processing facilities, the SSES sewage treatmentplant can under certain conditions receive low levels ofradioactive materials. The most notable scenario is when
individuals who work on-site have been subjected to the medicaladministration of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic ortherapeutic purposes. In 'these cases, normal biologicalelimination processes can easily result in levels of radioactivityin sewage treatment plant solutions and suspensions which arewithin the detection capabilities of the associated sampling and
analysis program.
Because disposal of sewage treatment plant sludge by controlleddispersal on specified tracts of land is a common practice, thefollowing guidelines have been established:
a. All sludge collected in the sludge holding tank should be
sampled and analyzed prior to land disposal to quantify any
radioactivity present above natural background levels.
b. Sludge containing nuclides with short half-lives, for example
iodine-131, should be contained on-site to permit decay toless than detectable levels.
56Ogg g g )989
c. When sludge is contaminated with nuclides which have
half-lives sufficiently long to make hold-up for decay
impractical, the following options should be considered:
1. Dispose of the sludge as low level radioactive waste.
2. Obtain a special permit pursuant to the requirements of10 CFR 20.302.
d. The sewage treatment plant effluent should be sampled monthlyfor radioactivity. This can be accomplished by drawing a
sample from the chlorine contact chamber.

The setpoint value for the liquid effluent monitors isthen determined by Equation 3 in the ODCM. For theabove release conditions, the setpoint value, assuming

To evaluate the annual whole-body or skin dose from
noble gas release rates, the highest calculated annual
average relative concentration for any sector isselected from Table 3. For the SSES site, thecritical downwind sector is the West sector with an
annual dispersion factor of 2.6 x 10 sec/m . The-5 3
expected release rate of the principal noble gas
radionuclide, xenon-133, is 396 uCi/sec. To calculatethe annual whole-body dose due to the release of any
noble gas in the gaseous effluent, Equation 7 in theODCM should be used. The whole-body dose factor (K.)

from Table 2 for xenon-133 is 3.06 x 10 mrem/yr

A.2.2 Radionuclides Other Than Noble Gases
To evaluate the annual critical organ dose from
radionuclides other than noble gases, the highestannual average dispersion parameter for estimating thedose to the critical receptor is selected from
Table 3. The highest annual dispersion factor is2.6 x 10 sec/m in the West sector . The expected
-5 3
release rate of iodine-131 is 3.8 x 10 uCi/sec. The-6
expected release rate of cesium-137 is 6.66 x 10

To calculate the annual critical organ dose due to therelease of radionuclides other than noble gases in thegaseous effluent, Equation 9 in the ODCN should be
used. The inhalation pathway parameter (P.) from1
Table 4 for iodine-131 is 1.48 x 10 mrem/yr peruCi/m . Substituting these values in Equation 9, the

A. 3 INDIVIDUAL DOSE
A.3. 1 Waterborne Effluents
The liquid effluent dose calculations are performed using theLiquid Annual Dose,To All Persons (LADTAP) computer program.
This program may be used to calculate the quarterly (or anyother time period) doses to both the maximum individual and the50-mile population due to radionuclides released in liquideffluents from the SSES. The procedure involves the use of thecomputer code LADTAP which was developed by the NRC to performdose calculations in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1. 109.
The User's Manual for the LADTAP program contains details of thecalculational procedures. The total number of curies releasedfor each radionuclide during the time period being evaluatedmust be supplied from the SSES radiation monitoring program.
A.3.2 Airborne Effluents
The airborne effluent dose calculations are performed using theGASPAR computer program. This program may be used to calculatethe maximum individual and population doses due to radionuclidesreleased in gaseous effluents from the SSES. The code
implements the semi-infinite cloud model and the dose
calculational models of Regulatory Guide 1. 109 and is used tocalculate all maximum individual and population doses and
maximum individual organ doses from the SSES. A more detaileddescription of the GASPAR code can be found in the GASPAR dose
code manuals dated October 17, 1975, and February 20, 1976. The
total number of curies released for each radionuclide during thetime period being evaluated must be supplied from the SSES
radiation monitoring program. The meteorological parametersmust be provided from the SSES meteorology program.

To evaluate the air dose from noble gas release rates, thehighest calculated annual average relative concentration for anysector is selected from Table 3. This critical downwind sectoris the West sector with an annual dispersion factor of 2.6 x

gas radionuclide, xenon-133, is 396 uCi/sec. The total releasein a calendar quarter would be 7.9 x 10 seconds times6
396 uCi/sec or 3. 13 x 10 uCi. To calculate the quarterly gamma9
air dose due to the Xenon-133 release in the gaseous effluent,Equation 12 in the ODCN should be used. The gamma air dose
factor (N.) from Table 2 for xenon-133 is 3.53 x 10 mrad/yr2
per uCi/m . Substituting these values in Equation 12, thequarterly gamma air dose contribution from xenon-133 releasesfrom the SSES would be 0.9 mrad:

To calculate the quarterly beta air dose due to the xenon-133release in the gaseous effluent, Equation 13 in the ODCN shouldbe used. The beta air dose factor (Ni) from Table 2 forxenon-133 is 1.05 x 10 mrad/yr per uCi/m . Substituting these
3 '. 3

Since the beta air dose is greater than the gamma air dose by a
factor of 3 for xenon-133 and the dose limits are only a factorof 2 greater for beta than gamma radiation, the beta air dose
would be controlling for'enon-133 releases.
A.4 TOTAL DOSE
The total cumulative annual dose to any member of the public fromoperations at the SSES should be determined by summing the critical organdoses to real individuals from all three sources of radiation. Only themaximum dose or dose commitment to a real individual needs to be
evaluated.
A.4.1 ~Li id Eff1
The cumulative dose to any member of the public due to liquideffluents from the SSES should be determined from the LADTAP
program used for evaluating the individual doses as stated inSection A.3. 1 of this Appendix.
A.4.2 Gaseous Effluents
The cumulative dose to any member of the public due to gaseous
effluents from the SSES should be determined from the GASPAR
program used for evaluating the individual doses as stated inSection A.3.2 of this Appendix.
A.4.3 Direct Radiation
The direct radiation to any member of the public due tooperations at the SSES should be determined from th'
environmental monitoring program results.

METHODS USED TO GENERATE DOSE RATE CALCULATION WORKSHEETS PAGES E4 - Ej
I. BASED ON VENT MONITOR NOBLE GAS DATA
A. WHOLE BODY DOSE RATE
Equation 7 of the ODCM states that the whole body dose rate tounrestricted area due to gaseous effluents is calculated as follows:
Dw,= + (K,.)(X/Q)v (Q',.v)
where:
0wb
K.
Q'iv
(X/Q)„
the annual whole-body dose rate (mrem/yr).
the whole-body rate conversion factor due togamma emissions for each identified noble gasradionuclide (i) (mrem/yr per uCi/m3) from Table 2of the ODCM.
the. release rate of radionuclide (i) from vent (v)(uci/sec).
the highest calculated annual average relativeconcentration for any area at or beyond the siteboundary in an unrestricted area from vent releasepoint (v) (sec/m3).
The whole-body dose rate conversion constant iscalculated as follows:
mrem/ r . D bWB DOSE RATE FACTOR u s msn = . = K(f.)(K.)(X/O),(1.676-2)
where:
= is the fraction of the total noble gas release whichnuclide (i) constitutes.
1.67E-2 = the number of minutes per second.
The whole-body dose rate conversion factor (5.88E-4}is based on the SSES Final Environmental Statement (FES) expected annualnoble gas releases and an annual average relative concentration of4. 1E-5 sec/m3 (ref. SSES 1982 Meteorological Summary).
B. SKIN DOSE RATE
Equation 8 of the ODCM states that the skin dose rate to unrestrictedareas due to gaseous effluents is calculated as follows:
E-1
'swhere:
Ds
Li
the annual skin dose rate (mrem/yr).
the skin dose rate conversion factor due to thebeta emissions for each identified noble gasradionuclide (i) (mrem/yr per uCi/m') from Table2 of the ODCM.
the air dose factor due to gamma emissions for eachidentified noble gas radionuclide (i) (mrad/yr peruCi/m~) from Table 2 of the ODCM (conversionconstant of 1. 1 converts air dose (mrad) to skindose (mrem).
The skin dose rate conversion constant (mrem/yr per uCi/min)is calculated as follows:
Skin Dose Rate Ds
Conv. ~acro~ = 6O < q',.„ =,. ( ,)( , ,)( /q)( . - )
(mrem/yr per uCi/min)
The skin dose rate conversation factor ( 1.16E-3) is basedon the SSES-FES expected annual noble gas releases and an annual averagerelative concentration of 4. 1E-5 sec/m~.
II. BASED ON VENT MONITOR DATA OTHER THAN NOBLE GAS
Equation 9 ofradionuclides
D
the ODCM states that the dose rate from inhalation ofother than noble gases is calculated as follows:
6 (P,.) (Wv) (~ ,.v)
where:
Dc
Pi
W„
the annual organ dose rate (mrem/yr).
the dose parameter for radionuclides other than noblegases for the inhalation pathway (mrem/yr per uCi/m').
=. the highest annual average dispersion parameter forestimating the dose. to the critical receptor (relativeconcentration (X/g, sec/m~) for the inhalation pathway).
the release rate of radionuclide (i) from vent (v)(uCi/sec).
E-2Utt' 1 198S
The organ dose rate conversion factor for particulates and I-131(mrem/yr per uCi/min) are calculated as follows:
Organ Dose Rate0
c
Conv. Facto = (6O ; 0'iv) =; ( ;)(P;)( v)( .67F--2)
(mrem/yr per uCi/min)
where:
the fraction of the total particulate release which nuclide(i) constitutes (equals 1 for I-131 dose rate conversionfactor).
The organ dose rate conversion factors (1.94 for particulates and 10.64 forI-131) are based on SSES-FES expected releases and an annual average relativeconcentration of 4. 1E-5 sec/m3.
III.BASED ON NOBLE GAS LABORATORY ANALYSIS
The whole-body dose rate conversion constants-(Column M) are calculated asfollows for each nuclide:
mrem/ r wbi0
WB DOSE RATE CONY. FACTOR. unusemsn = ED g . = (K.)(X/O)(1.672-2)1 iv 1
The skin dose rate conversion constants (Column P) of Form ODCM-2 arecalculated as follows for each nuclide:
mrem/ r siSKIN DOSE RATE CONY. FACTOR,. u s msn = ~g .„ = Li + 1. 1M,. X Q 1.67E-2
An annual average relative concentration value of 4. 1E-5 sec/m3 was used forcalculation of the constants.
IV. BASED ON LABORATORY ANALYSIS FOR NON-NOBLE GASES
The organ dose rate conversion constants (Column BB) of Form ODCM-4 arecalculated as follows for each nuclide:
mrem/ r ci0
ORGAN DOSE RATE CONY. FACTOR . unusemTn = BD 1( . = (P.)(W )(1.67E-2)1 iv 1 v
An annual average relative concentration value of 4.1E-5 sec/m3 was used forcalculation of the constants.
Because different radionuclides result in maximum dose comnitments todifferent organs, the methodology is conservative because dose ratecontributions from nuclides to differing organs are su@red and compared to thedose rate limit which is applicable to any one organ. If an apparentnoncompliance is calculated by this method, an organ dose from eachradionuclide should be calculated to determine if an actual noncomplianceexists.
