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

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.

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.

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.

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

The setpoint concentration (c) can be converted to a setpoint count

rate by use of the monitor calibration factor.

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.

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:

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

Page 24: CALCULATION - Nuclear Regulatory Commission · PENNSYLVANIA PlNER 5 LIGHT COMPANY SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Prepared By Date Reviewed By nv.

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

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.

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.

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

Page 41: CALCULATION - Nuclear Regulatory Commission · PENNSYLVANIA PlNER 5 LIGHT COMPANY SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Prepared By Date Reviewed By nv.

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.

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

release occurring during that time period.

In actual practice, the LADTAP computer code developed by the NRC to implement

RADIATION, FROM URANIUM FUEL CYCLE SOURCES SHALL BE LIMITED TO LESS THANOR EQUAL TO 25 MREMS TO THE TOTAL BODY OR ANY ORGAN EXCEPT THE THYROID,WHICH SHALL BE LIMITED TO LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 75 MREMS.

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

annual dose to critical organs of a real individual for the noble gasesreleased in the gaseous effluents is determined by using Equation 12

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.

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.

FIGURE 5.1.3-1) WHEN AVERAGED OVER 31 DAYS WOULD EXCEED 0.3 MREM TOANY ORGAN IN A 31-DAY PERIOD.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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,

Page 96: CALCULATION - Nuclear Regulatory Commission · PENNSYLVANIA PlNER 5 LIGHT COMPANY SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Prepared By Date Reviewed By nv.

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

In order to correct for airborne effluent monitor sample lineloss, the following correction factors shall be applied to monitordata and sample analysis results:

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

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

Page 101: CALCULATION - Nuclear Regulatory Commission · PENNSYLVANIA PlNER 5 LIGHT COMPANY SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL Prepared By Date Reviewed By nv.

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.

uCi/ml, an actual activity concentration of 1E-5

uCi/ml, and a blowdown flow setpoint of 5000 gpm, thesetpoint concentration, c, can be determined from c =

X (A). If X = 3, then the actual setpointconcentration is:

c = X (A) = 3 ( lE-5)c = 3E-5 uCi/ml

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

a typical calibration factor of 1.3 x 10 uCi/ml percpm, would be:

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.)

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

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

3 '. 3

values in Equation 13, the quarterly beta air dose contributionfrom xenon-133 releases from the SSES would be 2.7 mrad:

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

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.
