| REMODCM Unit Three Controls Revision 21 V.F. BASES Section V.C.1 - Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation The radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases of liquid effluents. The Alarm/Trip Setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section I! to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. The purpose of tank level indicating devices is to assure the detection and control of leaks that if not controlled could potentially result in the transport of radioactive materials to UNRESTRICTED AREAS.
| |
| OPERABILITY of a radiation monitor is determined by its ability to perform its specified function. The specified function of the radioactivity monitors listed in Table V.C-1 is to provide Control Room alarm annunciation and automatic termination of release. The monitor must be on-line with no unexpected alarms in order to perform its specified function.
| |
| Definition B.7 states a component is OPERABLE when it is capable of performing its specified function. The monitors are described in Tables V.C-1 and V.C-2 as "Radioactivity Monitors Providing Alarm and Automatic Termination of Releases." Table V.C-2 Note 1 requires that the Analog Channel Operational Test (ACOT) demonstrate that automatic isolation and "control room annunciation" occur. Control room annunciation cannot occur unless the monitor is on line (i.e. in communication with the RMS computer.). Section V.C.1 Surveillance Requirement requires that the ACOT be performed to demonstrate OPERABILITY. General Design Criteria 64 states in part: "Means shall be provided for monitoring effluent discharge paths for radioactivity." Regulatory Guide 1.21 Appendix A describes a monitor program that is acceptable to the Regulatory staff. Under Section B of Appendix A, "LIQUID EFFLUENTS", the first paragraph states in part: "During the release of radioactive wastes, the effluent control monitor should be set to alarm and to initiate automatic closure..."
| |
| Certain of the monitors listed in Table V.C-1 are designed to operate without sample pumps. These monitors utilize pressure in the effluent line during discharge to provide sample flow and sample pressure. Low sample flow and/or low sample pressure alarms may be received when no discharge is in progress. These are expected alarms. Sample flow and/or sample pressure will return to normal when the discharge is initiated. These alarms will clear when discharge begins. The monitors are OPERABLE since they are able to perform their specified function with the expected alarms in.
| |
| Table V.C-1 note ## requires entry into the radioactive liquid effluent monitoring action statements whenever the radiation monitors are not available in the required MODE. This note applies to items 1.a (3CND-RE07, Waste Neutralization Sump), 1.d (3LWC-RE65, Regenerate Evaporator Monitor), and 1.e (3SSR-RE08, Steam Generator Blowdown Monitor) in Table V.C-1. The original issue of this requirement (as a Technical Specification) in January 1986 stated the applicability was "At all times." Technical Specification Amendment 22 added "APPLICABILITY" to Table V.C-1 (then Tech Spec Table 3.3-12). The applicability added in Amendment 22 is the present wording. The letter 1312821, dated February 24, 1988, in the following sections discusses the change request and are quoted below:

| REMODCM Unit Three Controls Revision 21
| |
| "* In "Discussion": "The proposed changes will now explicitly allow a monitor to be taken out of service for up to 12 hours for maintenance/testing without entering the ACTION statement."
| |
| "* In "Significant Hazards Consideration" item 1: "the proposed changes would only allow these radiation monitors to be out of service for a short period of time (12 hours)."
| |
| "* In "Significant Hazards Consideration" item 2: "The proposed changes also have no effect on any alarm setpoints or control functions. Further, no operator actions that are required to mitigate accident rely solely on these monitors, and these monitors provide no protective functions."
| |
| Technical Specification Amendment 22 provided for the following:
| |
| "* allowance for planned inoperability of monitoring instrumentation for up to 12 hours for the purpose of maintenance and performance of required test, check, calibration or sampling
| |
| "* a requirement to initiate auxiliary sampling within 12 hours after inoperability of certain gaseous effluent monitors

| REMODCM Unit Three Controls Revision 21 is to be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The equations specified in Section Il for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, "Revision 1, October 1977, and Regulatory Guide 1.113, "Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidental and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purpose of Implementing Appendix I," April 1977.
| |
| Section V.D.2.a - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate This specification is provided to ensure that the dose rate at any time from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 for all areas offsite. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table I1. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual offsite to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table II of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR 20.106(b)). For individuals who may, at times, be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of that individual will be usually be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the SITE BOUNDARY. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the whole body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid or any other organ dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year.
| |
| Section V.D.2.b - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Noble Gas Dose This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections ll.B., Ill.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The specification implements the guides set forth in Section ll.B of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section V.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through the appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in Section II for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents will be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculational of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977.
| |
| The Section II equations provided for determining the air doses at the site boundary are based upon utilizing successively more realistic dose calculational methodologies. More realistic dose calculational methods are used whenever simplified calculations indicate a dose approaching a substantial portion of the regulatory limits. The methods used are, in order, previously determined air dose per released activity ratio, historical meteorological data and actual radionuclide mix released, or real time meteorology and actual radionuclides released.

| REMODCM Unit Three Controls Revision 21 Section V.D.2.c - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents for Radionuclides Other Than Noble Gas These specifications are provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The specifications are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The Section II calculational methods specified in the surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides for Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The Section II calculational methodology and parameters for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculating of Annual Dose to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision I, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision I, July 1977. The release rate specifications for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man. The pathways that are examined in the development of these calculations are: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, (3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

| Section V. E - Total Radiologqical Dose from Station Operations This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190. For the purpose of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 5 miles must be considered.

| E. V- 2.22 x 106-.Y- exp (-*X At) where:
| |
| LLD is the lower limit of detection as defined above (as I.tCi per unit mass or volume)
| |
| Sb is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting 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 x 106 is the number of transformations per minute per microcurie Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)
| |
| X is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide At is the elapsed time between midpoint of sample collection and midpoint of counting time It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.
| |
| Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable.
| |
| In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and recorded on the analysis sheet for the particular sample.
| |
| B. A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume from the tanks listed in this table. Prior to the sampling, each batch shall be isolated and at least two tank/sump volumes shall be recirculated or equivalent mixing provided. If the steam generator bulk can not be recirculated prior to batch discharge, samples will be obtained by representative compositing during discharge.
| |
| C. The LLD will be 5 x 10-' pCi/ml. The principal gamma emitters for which this LLD applies are exclusively the following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, and Ce-141. Ce-144 shall also be measured, but with an LLD of 5 x 10' gCi/ml. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported. Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides, shall also be identified and reported.
| |
| Nuclides which are below the LLD for the analyses should not be reported as being present at the LLD level. When unusual circumstances result in apriori LLDs higher than required, the reasons shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

IF any of the radioactive waste processing equipment listed in Section b are not routinely operating, THEN doses due to gaseous effluents from the untreated waste stream to unrestricted areas shall be projected at least once per 31 days in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section II.D.4. For each waste stream, only those doses specified in Section II.D.4 need to be determined for compliance with this section.
| |

| |
| : 3. IF actual doses exceed 0.2 mrad for gamma radiation, 0.4 mrad for beta radiation or 0.3 mrem to any organ AND the dose from a waste stream with equipment not continuously operating exceed 10% any of these limits, THEN prepare and submit to the Commission a report as specified in Section c.
| |
| : b. Required Equipment for Each Millstone Unit Best efforts shall be made to return the gaseous radioactive waste treatment system equipment specified below for each unit to service if the projected doses exceed any of doses specified above. For the Unit 2 gas decay tanks, the tanks shall be operated to allow enough decay time of radioactive gases to ensure that the Radiological Effluent Control dose limits are not exceeded.

| : 3. Basis for Gaseous Sampling, Analysis, and Radioactive Treatment System Use Paragraph (a)(2) of Part 50.36a provides that licensee will submit an annual report to the Commission which specifies the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released to unrestricted areas in gaseous effluents during the past 12 months of plant operation. The indicated gaseous surveillance programs (as directed by surveillance requirements for Radiological Effluent Controls in Sections III.D.2.a, IV.D.2.a, and V.D.2.a) provides the means to quantify and report on radioactive materials released to the atmosphere. As specified in Regulatory Guide 1.21, this program monitors all major and potentially significant paths for release of radioactive material in gaseous effluents during normal reactor operations, including anticipated operational occurrences. There are many minor release pathways which are not routinely monitored. The Millstone Effluent Control Program includes, as needed, evaluations to determine if any release point should be added to the REMODCM surveillance program. This information also provides for the assessment of effluent dose rates and environmental dose impacts for the purpose of demonstration compliance with the effluent limits of 10 CFR 20, and dose objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in gaseous waste samples are tabulated in terms of lower limits of detection (LLDs) and are selected, based on NUREG-1301, such that the detection of radioactivity in releases will occur at levels below which effluent offsite dose objectives would be exceeded.
| |
| The indicated gaseous radwaste treatment equipment for each Unit have been determined, using the GALE code, to be capable to minimize radioactive gaseous effluents such that the dose objectives of Appendix I can be met for expected routine (and anticipated operational occurrence) effluent releases. This equipment is maintained and routinely operated to treat appropriate gaseous waste streams without regards to projected environmental doses.
| |
| If not already in use, the requirement that the appropriate portions of the gaseous radioactive waste treatment system for each Unit be returned to service when the specified effluent doses are exceeded provides assurance that the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This condition of equipment usage implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, and the design objective given in Section 1I.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified dose limits governing the required use of appropriate portions of the gaseous radwaste treatment system were selected as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.A of Appendix 1, 10 CFR 50 for gaseous effluents following the guidance in NUREG-1301.

| REMM Revision 22 I.E. RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 1I Sampling and Analysis The radiological sampling and analyses provide measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from plant operation. This monitoring program thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Program changes may be made based on operational experience.
| |
| The sampling and analyses shall be conducted as specified in Table I.E-1 for the locations shown Table I.E-2. Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment or other legitimate reasons. If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, every effort shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period.
| |
| All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental OperatingReport pursuant to Section I.F.1. It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to continue to obtain samples of the media of choice (excluding milk) at the most desired location or time. In these instances suitable alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathways in questions and appropriate substitutions made within 30 days in the radiological environmental monitoring program.
| |
| If milk samples are temporarily unavailable from any one or more of the milk sample locations required by Table I.E-2, a grass sample shall be substituted during the growing season (Apr. - Dec.)
| |
| and analyzed for gamma isotopes and 1-131 until milk is again available. Upon notification that milk samples will be unavailable for a prolonged period (>9 months) from any one or more of the milk sample locations required by Table I.E-2, a suitable replacement milk location shall be evaluated and appropriate changes made in the radiological environmental monitoring program. Reasonable attempts shall be made to sample the replacement milk location prior to the end of the next sampling period. Any of the above occurrences shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report which is submitted to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission prior to May I of each year.
| |
| Changes to sampling locations shall be identified in a revised Table I.E-2 and, as necessary, Figure(s)
| |
| I.E-I through I.E-3.
| |
| If the level of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium at one or more of the locations specified in Table I.E-2 exceeds the report levels of Table LE-3 when averaged over any calendar quarter, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days from the end of the affected calendar quarter, a Special Report which includes an evaluation of any release conditions, environmental factors or other aspects which caused the limits of Table I.E-3 to be exceeded. When more than one of the radionuclides in Table I.E-3 are detected in the sampling medium, this report shall be submitted if:

| |
| When radionuclides other than those in Table I.E-3 are detected and are the result of plant effluents, this report shall be submitted if the potential annual dose to an individual is equal to or greater than the appropriate calendar year limit of the RadiologicalEffluent Controls (Sections M.D. L.b, II.D.2.b, or III.D.2.cfor Unit 1; Sections JVE.lb, IV.E.2.b, or IV.E.2.c for Unit 2; and Sections V.E.1.b, V.E.2.b, or VE.2.cfor Unit 3). This report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity was not the result of plant effluents, however, in such an event, the condition shall be reported and described in the Annual RadiologicalEnvironmental OperatingReport.
| |
| The detection capabilities required by Table I.E-4 are state-of-the-art for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. All analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and described in the Annual RadiologicalEnvironmental OperatingReport.

This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix Ito 10 CFR Part 50. The land use census shall be maintained and shall identify the location of the nearest resident, nearest garden*, and milk animals in each of the 16 meteorological sectors within a distance of five miles.
| |
| The validity of the land use census shall be verified within the last half of every year by either a door to-door survey, aerial survey, consulting local agriculture authorities, or any combination of these methods.
| |
| With a land use census identifying a location(s) which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than the doses currently being calculated in the off-site dose models, make the appropriate changes in the sample locations used.
| |
| With a land use census identifying a location(s) which has a higher D/Q than a current indicator location the following shall apply:
| |
| (1) If the D/Q is at least 20% greater than the previously highest D/Q, replace one of the present sample locations with the new one within 30 days if milk is available.
| |
| (2) If the D/Q is not 20% greater than the previously highest D/Q, consider direction, distance, availability of milk, and D/Q in deciding whether to replace one of the existing sample locations.
| |
| If applicable, replacement shall be within 30 days. If no replacement is made, sufficient justification shall be given in the annual report.
| |
| Sample location changes shall be noted in the Annual RadiologicalEnvironmentalOperatingReport.
| |
| *Broad leaf vegetation (a composite of at least 3 different kinds of vegetation) may be sampled at the site boundary in each of 2 different direction sectors with high D/Qs in lieu of a garden census.

| : 3. Interlaboratory Comparison Program The Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of a quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are reasonably valid.
| |
| Analyses shall be performed on radioactive materials supplied as part of an Interlaboratory Comparison Program. A summary of the results obtained as part of the above required Interlaboratory Comparison Program shall be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
| |
| With analyses not being performed as required above, report the corrective actions taken to prevent a recurrence to the Commission in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
| |
| : 4. Bases for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Federal regulations (10 CFR Parts 20 and 50) require that radiological environmental monitoring programs be established to provide data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the site environs. In addition, Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that the relationship between quantities of radioactive material released in effluents during normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences, and the resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure be evaluated. The Millstone Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program (REMP) has been established to verify the effectiveness of in-plant measures used for controlling the release of radioactive materials from the plant, as well as provide for the comparison of measurable concentrations of radioactive materials found in the environment with expected levels based on effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.
| |
| The REMP detailed in Table I.E-I provides measurements of radioactive materials or exposures in the environment along all principal exposure pathways to man that could be impacted by plant effluents.
| |
| These include direct radiation exposure, inhalation exposure, and ingestion of food products (both aquatic and land grown). In addition, intermediate media such as vegetation and bottom sediments are included as potential early indicators of radioactive material buildup. The selections of sample locations include areas subject to plant effluents that would be expected to exhibit early indication of any buildup of plant related radioactive materials.
| |
| The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated in terms of lower limits of detection (LLDs). Except for Ba-140 and La-140 in milk, the required LLDs are from NUREGs-1301 and 1302. The NUREGs specify an LLD of 15 pCi/I for the parent-daughter combination of Ba-La-140. An LLD of 25 pCi/l is specified for the daughter La-140 and 70 pCi/l for the parent Ba- 140.
| |
| Annual reports of environmental radiation monitoring summaries are filed with the NRC in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36b and the guidance contained in Regulatory Guide 4.8, "EnvironmentalTechnical Specificationsfor Nuclear Power Plant," and NUREG-0472 ('NUREG 0473) Revision 3, "StandardRadiologicalEffluent Technical Specificationsfor Pressurized Water Reactors (Boiling Water Reactors).

| ODCM Revision 22 II.A. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (Section II of the REMODCM) is to provide the parameters and methods to be used in calculating offsite doses and effluent monitor setpoints at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station. Included are methods for determining maximum individual whole body and organ doses due to liquid and gaseous effluents to assure compliance with the regulatory dose limitations in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I. Also included are methods for performing dose projections to assure compliance with the liquid and gaseous treatment system operability sections of the Radiological Effluent MonitoringManual (REMM- Section I of the REMODCM).
| |
| The manual also includes the methods used for determining quarterly and annual doses for inclusion in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
| |
| The bases for selected site-specific factors used in the dose calculation methodology are provided in Reference Manual MP-13-REM-REF02, REMODCM Technical Information.
| |
| Another section of this manual discusses the methods to be used in determining effluent monitor alarm/trip setpoints to be used to ensure compliance with the instantaneous release rate limits in Sections III.D.2.a, IVE.2.a, and VE.2.a.
| |
| This manual includes the methods to be used in performance of the surveillance requirements in the Radiological Effluent Controls of Sections III, IV, and V. Appendix A, Tables App.A- I and App.A-2 provide a cross-reference of effluent requirements and applicable methodologies contained in the REMODCM.
| |
| Most of the calculations in this manual have several methods given for the calculation of the same parameter. These methods are arranged in order of simplicity and conservatism, Method I being the easiest and most conservative. As long as releases remain low, one should be able to use Method I as a simple estimate of the dose. If release calculations approach the limit, however, more detailed yet less conservative calculations may be used At any time a more detailed calculation may be used in lieu of a simple calculation.
| |
| This manual is written common to all three units since some release pathways are shared and there are also site release limits involved. These facts make it impossible to completely separate the three units.

| ODCM Revision 21 II.B. RESPONSIBILITIES All changes to the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) shall be reviewed and approved by the Site Operations Review Committee prior to implementation.
| |
| All changes and their rationale shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
| |
| It shall be the responsibility of the Vice President and Senior Nuclear Executive - Millstone to ensure that this manual is used as required by the administrative controls of the Technical Specifications. The delegation of implementation responsibilities is delineated in the Millstone Radiological Effluent Program Reference Manual (MP- 13-REM-REF0 1).

| |
| | |
| ODCM Revision 22 II.C. LIQUID DOSE CALCULATIONS The determination of potential doses from liquid effluents to the maximum exposed member divided into two methods. Method I is a simplified of the public is calculation approach that is used as an operational ensure that effluent releases as they occur tool to are not likely to cause quarterly and annual exceeded. Effluent doses are calculated at offsite dose limits to be least once every 31 days. Method 2 is a more computational calculation using accepted detailed computer models to demonstrate actual regulatory Method 2 is used whenever the Method I dose compliance.
| |
| estimation begins to approach a regulatory of the RadioactiveEffluent Release Report limit, and for preparation which includes the quarterly and annual dose effluents recorded discharged to the environment impacts for all during the year of record.
| |
| : 1. Whole Body Dose from Liquid Effluents Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections II, IV, and V) limit the whole body dose to an member of the public to 1.5 mrem per calendar individual quarter and 3 mrem per year from liquid effluents released from each unit. (See Appendix A, Tables App.A-1 and App.A-2 for cross-reference control requirements and applicable sections effluent in the REMODCM which are used to determine compliance). In addition, installed portions of liquid radwaste treatment system are required operated to reduce radioactive materials in to be liquid effluents when the projected whole 31 days from applicable waste streams exceeds body dose over 0.006 mrem. This part of the REMODCM the calculation methodology for determining provides the whole body dose from radioactive materials into liquid pathways of exposure associated released with routine discharges. This includes the pathways which contribute to the 25 mrem liquid annual total dose limit (40 CFR 190) to any real individual member of the public from all effluent sources (liquids, gases, and direct).
| |
| : a. Method 1 (Applicable to Units1, 2, and 3)
| |
| For Unit 1: No dose; Unit I is not currently releasing radioactivity in liquid effluents.
| |
| For Units 2 and 3:
| |
| D,= 0. 2 C,+5.6x 10-7 CH Where:
| |
| Dw= The estimated whole body dose to a potentially maximum exposed individual (in mrem) due to fission and activation products released in liquid effluents during a specified time period.
| |
| C, = total gross curies of fission and activation products, excluding tritium and dissolved noble gases, released during the period of interest.
| |
| C, = total curies of tritium released during the period of interest.
| |
| If D,, within a calendar quarter is greater than 0.5 mrem, go to Method 2.
| |

| |
| | |
| ODCM Revision 22 II.C. LIQUID DOSE CALCULATIONS (Cont'd)
| |
| : b. Method 2 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)
| |
| If the calculated dose using Method I is greater than 0.5 mrem within a calendar quarter, or if a more accurate determination is desired, use the NRC computer code LADTAP 11, or a code which uses the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109, to calculate the liquid whole body doses. Method 2 (LADTAP II) is also used in the performance of dose calculations for the RadioactiveEffluent Release Report. The use of this code is given in Engineering Procedure RAB B-11, LiquidDose Calculations- LADTAPII. Additional information on LADTAPII is contained in the REMODCM Technical Information Manual (MP- 13-REM-REF02).
| |
| : 2. Maximum Or2an Dose from Liquid Effluents Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III, IV, and V) limit the maximum organ dose to an individual member of the public to 5 mrem per calendar quarter and 10 mrem per year from liquid effluents released from each unit. (See Appendix A, Tables App.A-I and App.A-2 for cross reference effluent control requirements and applicable sections in the REMODCM which are used to determine compliance). In addition, installed portions of liquid radwaste treatment system are required to be operated to reduce radioactive materials in liquid effluents when the projected maximum organ dose over 31 days from applicable waste streams exceeds 0.02 mrem. This part of the REMODCM provides the calculation methodology for determining the maximum organ dose from radioactive materials released into liquid pathways of exposure associated with routine discharges. This includes the liquid pathways which contribute to the 25 mrem annual organ (except 75 mrem thyroid) dose limit (40 CFRI 90) to any real individual member of the public from all effluent sources (liquids, gases, and direct).
| |
| : a. Method 1 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)
| |
| For Unit 1: No dose; Unit I is not currently releasing radioactivity in liquid effluents.
| |
| For Units 2 and 3:
| |
| Do= 1.5 CF Where:
| |
| Do = The estimated maximum organ dose to the potentially maximum exposed individual (in mrem) due to fission and activation products released in liquid effluents during a specified time period.
| |
| CF = total gross curies of fission and activation products, excluding tritium and dissolved noble gases, released during the period of interest - same as Section IL C.1.a.
| |
| If Do, within a calendar quarter is greater than 2 mrem, go to Method 2.
| |
| : b. Method 2 (Applicable to Units 1, 2, and 3)
| |
| If the calculated dose using Method I is greater than 2 mrem, or if a more accurate determination is desired, use the NRC computer code LADTAP II, or a code which uses the methodology given in Regulatory Guide 1.109, to calculate the liquid maximum organ doses. Method 2 (LADTAP II) is also used in the performance of dose calculations for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. The use of this code and the input parameters are given in Engineering Procedure RAB B-11, Liquid Dose Calculations- LADTAP HI.
| |
| Additional information on LADTAPII is contained in the REMODCM Technical Information Manual (MP- 13-REM-REF02).

| ODCM Revision 22 II.C. LIQUID DOSE CALCULATIONS (Cont'd)
| |
| : 3. Estimation of Annual Whole Body Dose (Applicable to All Units)
| |
| An estimation of annual (year-to-date) whole body dose (Dyw) from liquid effluents shall be made every month to determine compliance with the annual dose limits for each Unit which releases any radioactivity in liquid effluents. Annual doses will be determined as follows:
| |
| Dyw = Y Dw where the sum of the doses include the whole body dose contribution from all effluent releases for each Unit recorded to-date. For estimation of the Total Dose requirements of 40CFR 190, the effluent releases from all three Units combined are used.
| |
| The following shall be used as Dw:
| |
| (I) If the detailed quarterly dose calculations required per Section IL C.6 for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report are completed for any calendar quarter, use that result.
| |
| (2) If the detailed calculations are not complete for a particular quarter, use the results as determined in Section H. C.1.
| |
| (3) If the annual dose estimate, Dw, is greater than 3 mrem and any D, determined as in Section I. C.1 was not calculated using Method 2 (i.e., LADTAP II computer code or a Regulatory Guide 1.109 code), recalculate Dw using Method 2 if this could reduce DYW to less than 3 mrem.
| |
| : 4. Estimation of Annual Maximum Organ Dose (Applicable to All Units)
| |
| An estimation of annual (year-to-date) maximum organ dose (Do) from liquid effluents shall be made every month to determine compliance with the annual dose limits for each Unit which releases any radioactivity in liquid effluents. Annual doses will be determined as follows:
| |
| Dy, = I Do where the sum of the doses include the maximum organ dose contribution from all effluent releases for each Unit recorded to-date. For estimation of the Total Dose requirements of 40CFR190, the effluent releases from all three Units combined are used.
| |
| The following guidelines shall be used:
| |
| (1) If the detailed quarterly dose calculations required per Section II.C.6 for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report are completed for any calendar quarter, use that result.
| |
| (2) If the detailed calculations are not complete for a particular quarter, use the results as determined in Section IH.C.2.
| |
| (3) If different organs are the maximum for different quarters, they may be summed together and Do can be recorded as a less than value as long as the value is less than 10 mrem.
| |
| (4) If Dyo is greater than 10 mrem and any value used in its determination was calculated as in Section IL C.2, but not with Method 2 (i.e., LADTAP II computer code or a Regulatory Guide 1.109 code), recalculate that value using Method 2 if this could reduce D,, to less than 10 mrem.

| ODCM Revision 22 II.C. LIQUID DOSE CALCULATIONS (Cont'd)
| |
| : 5. Monthly Dose Projections Section I.C.2.a of the REMM requires that certain portions of the liquid radwaste treatment equipment be used to reduce radioactive liquid effluents when the projected doses for each Unit (made at least once per 31 days) exceeds 0.006 mrem whole body or 0.02 mrem to any organ. The following methods are applied in the estimation of monthly dose projections:
| |
| : a. Whole Body and Maximum Organ (ADDlicable to Unit 1 Only)
| |

| : 7. Bases for Liquid Pathway Dose Calculations The dose calculation methodology and parameters used in Section II of the REMODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I (IOCFR50) which states that conformance with the dose objectives of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of a member of the public through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose estimations calculated by both Method I and Method 2 are based on the liquid models presented in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1; "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with IOCFR Part 50, Appendix I". These equations are implemented via the use of the NRC sponsored computer code LADTAP II. Input parameter values typically used in the dose models are listed in Reference Manual, "REMODCM Technical Information Document (MP-13-REM-REF02).
| |
| This same methodology is used in the determination of compliance with the 40CFRI90 total dose standard for the liquid pathways.
| |
| The conversion constants in the Method 1 equations are based on the maximum observed comparison of historical effluent releases for each unit and corresponding whole body or critical organ doses to a maximum individual. The dose conversion factors are calculated based on the ratio of the observed highest dose (whole body and organ) and the curies of fission and activation products released during the period. This ratio results in the Method I equation conversion factor in mrem/Ci released. This same approach was repeated separately for tritium (as a different radionuclide class) discharged in liquids wastes. Reference Manual MP-13-REM-REF02 describes the derivation of the Method I constants and list the historical whole body and maximum organ doses calculated for each unit operation.

| |
| | |
| ODCM Revision 22 II.D. GASEOUS DOSE CALCULATIONS The determination of potential release rates and doses from radioactive gaseous effluents to the maximum off-site receptor are divided into two methods. Method I provides simplified operational tools to ensure that effluent releases are not likely to cause quarterly and annual off-site dose or dose rate limits to be exceeded. Effluent doses are calculated at least once every 31 days. Method 2 provides for a more detailed computational calculation using accepted computer models to demonstrate actual regulatory compliance. Method 2 is used whenever the Method 1 estimation approaches a regulatory limit, and for preparation of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report which includes the quarterly and annual dose impacts for all effluents recorded discharged to the atmosphere during the year of record.
| |
| I. Site Release Rate Limits ("Instantaneous")
| |
| Radiological Effluent Controls (Sections III. IV, and V) for each unit require that the instantaneous off-site dose rates from noble gases released to the atmosphere be limited such that they do not exceed 500 mrem/year at any time to the whole body or 3000 mrem/year to the skin at any time from the external cloud. For iodine 131, 133, tritium, and particulates (half-lives > 8 days), the inhalation pathway critical organ dose rate from all units shall not exceed 1500 mrem/year at any time. These limits apply to the combination of releases from all three Units on the site, and are directly related to the radioactivity release rates measured for each Unit. By limiting gaseous release rates for both classes of radionuclides (i.e., noble gases; and iodines, tritium, and particulates) to within values which correlate to the above dose rate limits, assurance is provided that the Radiological Effluent Controls dose rate limits are not exceeded.
| |
| : a. Method 1 for Noble Gas Release Rate Limits The instantaneous noble gas release rate limit from the site shall be:
| |
| Qv /90,000 +Q2s/560,000 + Q2v/290,000+Q3 s /560,000 + Q3v/290,000< 1 Where:
| |
| Q, = Noble gas release rate from Spent Fuel Pool Island Vent (ItCi/sec)
| |
| Q~s = Noble gas release rate from MP2 to Millstone Stack (pCi/sec)
| |
| Q~v = Noble gas release rate from MP2 Vent (jiCi/sec)
| |
| Qs = Noble gas release rate from MP3 to Millstone Stack (pCi/sec)
| |
| Qsv = Noble gas release rate from MP3 Vent (pCi/sec)
| |
| As long as the above is less than or equal to 1, the doses will be less than or equal to 500 mrem to the total body and less than 3000 mrem to the skin. The limiting factor for the Unit 1 SFPI vent of 90,000 is based on the skin dose limit of 3,000 mrem/year, while all the other factors are based on the whole body dose limit of 500 mrem/year.
| |
| : b. Method I Release Rate Limit 131, 1-133, H-3 and Particulates Half Lives Greater Than 8 Days With releases satisfying the following limit conditions, the dose rate to the maximum organ will be less than 1500 mrem/year from the inhalation pathway:
| |

Effluent dose calculations are calculated at least once every 31 days. In addition, installed portions of the gaseous radwaste treatment system are required to be operated to reduce radioactive materials in gaseous effluents when the projected doses over 31 days from the applicable waste stream exceed 0.02 mrad air gamma or 0.04 mrad air beta. (See Appendix A, Tables App.A-I and App.A-2 for a cross reference of effluent control requirements and applicable sections of the REMODCM which are used to determine compliance.)

| Brezinski memo to E. J. Mroczka, Millstone Unit 2 Steam Generator Blowdown Tank Releases, NE 83-RA-879, June 15, 1983, indicate that the steam generator blowdown tank vent releases can be estimated by use of a factor of 1/6,000 (a DF of 2000 and a partitioning factor of 1/3). Although Unit 3 normally recycles blowdown, periodically blowdown is released for short periods of time.
| |
| These releases should be similar to Unit 2 and until studies can be performed at Unit 3 the same calculation should be performed. Based upon the above, the formula to be used is:
| |
| S/G blowdown concentration x S/G blowdown flow rate x 1/6000 x time = integrated activity

Bases for Gaseous Pathway Dose Calculations The dose calculation methodology and parameters used in Section II of the REMODCM implement the requirements in Section IlI.A of Appendix I (I0CFR50) which states that conformance with the ALARA dose objectives of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of a member of the public through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. Operational flexibility is provided by controlling the instantaneous release rate of noble gas (as well as iodines and particulate activity) such the maximum off-site dose rates are less than the equivalent of 500 mrem/year to the whole body, 3000 mrem/year to the skin from noble gases, or 1500 mremlyear to a critical organ from the inhalation of iodines, tritium and particulates. The dose rate limits are based on the 10CFR20 (pre-1991) annual dose limits, but applied as an instantaneous limit to assure that the actual dose over a year will be well below these numbers.
| |
| The equivalent instantaneous release rate limits for Millstone Stack were determined using the EPA AIREM code. For Units 2 & 3, these doses were calculated using the NRC GASPAR code. The AIREM code calculates cloud gamma doses using dose tables from a model that considers the finite extent of the cloud in the vertical direction. Beta doses are calculated assuming semi-infinite cloud concentrations, which are based upon a standard sector averaged diffusion equation. The GASPAR code implements the models of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with I OCFR Part 50, Appendix I." Input parameter values typically used in the dose models are listed in the Station Reference Manual, "REMODCM Technical Information Document (MP-13-REM-REF02).
| |
| This same methodology is used in the determination of compliance with the 40CFRI 90 total dose standard for the gaseous pathways.
| |
| In the determination of compliance with the dose and dose rate limits, maximum individual dose calculations are performed at the nearest land site boundary with .naximum decayed X/Q, and at the nearest vegetable garden (assumed to be nearest residence) and cow and goat farms with maximum D/Qs. The conversion constants in the Method I equations for maximum air doses, organ and whole body doses, and dose rates are based on the maximum observed comparison of historical effluent releases and corresponding calculated maximum doses. The dose conversion factors are calculated based on the ratio of the observed highest dose and the curies of fission and activation products released during the period. This ratio results in the Method I equation conversion factor in mrem/Ci released. Reference Manual MP-13-REM-REF02 describes the derivation of the Method I constants and list the historical maximum doses calculated for the maximum organ.

Unit 2 Clean Liquid Radwaste Effluent Line - RM9049 and Aerated Liquid Radwaste Effluent Line - RM9116 The setpoint on the Unit 2 clean and aerated liquid waste effluent lines depend on dilution water flow, radwaste discharge flow, the isotopic composition of the liquid, the background count rate of the monitor and the efficiency of the monitor. Due to the variability of these parameters, an alarm/trip setpoint will be determined prior to the release of each batch. The following method will be used:
| |
| From the tank isotopic analysis and the MPC values for each identified nuclide (including noble gases*) determine the required reduction factor, i.e.:
| |
| For Nuclides Other Than Noble Gases:
| |
| R1 = Required Reduction Factor =__

| |
| D = The existing dilution flow (D): (Note: D = # circulating water pumps x 100,000 gpm + # service water pumps x 4,000 gpm Note that discharging at this flow rate would yield a discharge concentration corresponding to 10% of the Radiological Effluent Control Limit due to the safety factor of 0.1.
| |
| With this condition on discharge flow rate met, the monitor setpoint can be calculated:
| |
| R. = 2 x AC x Ca (See Note 1 below.)
| |
| Where:
| |
| Ret = The setpoint of the monitor (cps).

| This value or that corresponding to 1.7 x 10' pCi/ml (Note 2 below), whichever is greater, plus background is the trip setpoint. For the latter setpoint, independent valve verification shall be performed and minimum dilution flow in Note 2 shall be verified and if necessary, appropriately adjusted.
| |
| Note 1: If discharging at the allowable discharge rate (F) as determined in above, this setpoint would correspond to 20% of the Radiological Effluent Control limit.

This will assure that low level releases are not terminated due to small fluctuations in activity. However, to verify that the correct tank is being discharged when using this value, independent valve verification shall be performed. This value may be adjusted (increased or decreased) by factors to account for the actual discharge flow and actual dilution flow; however, controls shall be established to ensure that the allowable discharge flow is not exceeded and the dilution flow is maintained.

If the grab sample is less than 5 x I0-7 uCi/ml, use a setpoint of the lower of two times background or the value as specified in II.E.3.

| |
| : b. Normal minimum possible circulating water dilution flow during periods of blowdown =
| |
| 200,000 gpm (2 circulating water pumps) = 200,000 gpm.
| |
| : c. The release rate limit is conservatively set at 10% of the IOCFR Part20 limit for 1-131 (0.1 x 3 x l0' tCi/ml = 3 x 10s [tCi/ml)*
| |
| : d. Background can be added after above calculations are performed.
| |
| Therefore, the alarm setpoint corresponds to a concentration of:
| |
| Alarm (pCi/ml) = 200,000 700 x 3 x 10' + background** = 8.5 x 10' iiCi/ml + background The latest monitor calibration curve shall be used to determine the alarm setpoint in cpm corresponding to 8.5 x 10' pCi/mI.
| |
| This setpoint may be adjusted (increased or decreased) through proper administrative controls if the steam generator blowdown rate is maintained other than 700 gpm and/or other than 2 circulating water pumps are available. The adjustment would correspond to the ratio of flows to those assumed above or:

Unit 2 Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water RM6038 The purpose of the Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW) radiation monitor is to give warning of abnormal radioactivity in the RBCCW system and to prevent releases to the Service Water system which, upon release to the environment, would exceed allowable limits in I 0CFR20. According to Calculation RERM-02665-R2, radioactivity in RBCCW water which causes a monitor response of greater than the setpoint prescribed below could exceed I OCFR20 limits upon release to the Service Water system.
| |
| SETPOINT DURING POWER OPERATIONS:
| |
| To give adequate warning of abnormal radioactivity, the setpoint shall be two times the radiation monitor background reading, provided that the background reading does not exceed 2,000 cpm.

The setpoint is will limit the effluent release concentration to 10% of the MPC limit then selected to be only 2 times the expected concentration, or 20% of the MPC limit. As a result, to account for considerable margin is included in the selection of the setpoint for the monitor contribution from other potential release unexpected changes in the discharge concentration or the release. For those monitors on pathways occurring at the same time as the planned effluent point is usually selected to be two systems that are not expected to be contaminated, the alarm conditions may have changed and should times the ambient background to give notice that normal be evaluated.

| |
| Batch releases of waste gas shall be limited to less than 10% of the Unit 2 releases to the Millstone Stack release rate limits. Therefore, the waste gas decay tank monitor setpoint should be set not to exceed 7,400 uCi/sec.

| The alarm setpoint shall be set at or below a value of 9.5 x 10 ' PCi/cc for the MP3 vent.
| |
| The release rate value of 9.5 x 10' pCi/cc assumes that 33% of the site limit is assigned to the MP3 vent. This value corresponds to a release rate of 95,000 pCi/sec and a maximum ventilation flow rate of 210,000 CFM (per memo from G. C. Knight to R. A. Crandall, MP-3-1885, July 19, 1989). If effluent conditions from the MP3 vent approach the alarm setpoint, it may be increased if the Site Stack or MP2 vent setpoints are also changed to ensure that the sum of the allowed individual unit noble gas release rates do not exceed the site limit as dictated in Section II.D.l.a, and described in the REMODCM Technical Information Document (MP-12-REM-REF02), Section 4.2.

Assuming a flow rate of 6,500 CFM (3.05 x 106 cc/sec) for this pathway translates this limit to:

| : 9. Bases for Gaseous Monitor Setpoints Gaseous effluent monitors are provided on atmospheric release pathways to control, as applicable, the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents to the environment. The alarm / trip setpoints are calculated to ensure that the alarm / trip function of the monitor will occur prior to exceeding the dose rate limits required by the Technical Specifications (Units 2 and 3) or RadiologicalEffluent Controls (SectionsIII. IV, and P9 requirements for each unit. Monitor setpoint selection is based on a conservative set of conditions for each release pathway (as discussed above for each monitor pathway) such that the dose rate at any time at and beyond the site boundary from all gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the numerical values of the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 (the version prior to January 1, 1994) in Unrestricted Areas. Since the Radiological Effluent Controls are constructed such that the numerical values of the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 be applied on an instantaneous basis (i.e., no time averaging over the year), and the integrated dose objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I provide for corrective actions to reduce effluents if the ALARA dose values are exceeded, assurance is obtained that compliance with the revised annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20.1301 (100 mrem total effective dose equivalent to a member of the public) will also be met. The use of the stated instantaneous release rate values, which equate to the site dose rate limits, also provides operational flexibility to accommodate short periods of higher than normal effluent releases that may occur during plant operations.

The demonstration of compliance with the dose limits is by calculational models that are implemented by Section II of the REMODCM.
| |
| Table App. II.A-Iprovides a cross-reference guide between liquid and gaseous effluent release limits and those sections of the REMODCM, which are used to determine compliance. It also shows the administrative Technical Specifications which reference the REMODCM for operation of radioactive waste processing equipment. This table also provides a quick outline of the applicable limits or dose objectives and the required actions if those limits are exceeded.

| |
| | |
| REMODCM Unit I Controls Revision 22 III.B. DEFINITIONS The defined terms of this sub-section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout Section II1.
| |
| B.1 ACTION - that part of a Control that prescribes remedial measures required under designated conditions.
| |
| B.2 INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION - the adjustment, as necessary, of the instrument output such that it responds within the necessary range and accuracy to know values of the parameter that the instrument monitors. The INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION shall encompass those components, such as sensors, displays, and trip functions, required to perform the specified safety function(s). The INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION shall include the INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONAL TEST and may be performed by means of any series of sequential , overlapping, or total channel steps so that the entire channel is calibrated.
| |
| B.3 INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONAL TEST - the injection of a simulated or actual signal into the channel as close to the sensor as practicable to verify that the instrument is OPERABLE, including all components in the channel, such as alarms, interlocks, displays, and trip functions, required to perform the specified safety function(s). The INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONAL TEST may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps so that the entire channel is tested.
| |
| B.4 INSTRUMENT CHECK - the qualitative determination of operability by observation of behavior during operation. This determination shall include, where possible, comparison of the instrument with other independent instruments measuring the same variable.
| |
| B.5 OPERABLE - An instrument shall be OPERABLE when it is capable of performing its specified functions(s). Implicit in this definition shall be the assumption that all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal and emergency electrical power sources, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment that are required for the instrument to perform its functions(s) are also capable of performing their related support function(s).
| |
| B.6 REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC - an individual, not occupationally associated with the Millstone site, who is exposed to existing dose pathways at one particular location. This does not include employees of the utility or utilities which own a Millstone plant and utility contractors and vendors. Also excluded are persons who enter the Millstone site to service equipment or to make deliveries. This does include persons who use portions of the Millstone site for recreational, occupational, or other purposes not associated with any of the Millstone plants.
| |
| B.7 SITE BOUNDARY - that line beyond which the land is not owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the licensee.
| |
| B.8 SOURCE CHECK - the qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel is exposed to radiation.
| |

| |
| The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table I1. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual offsite to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table II of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR 20.106(b)). For individuals who may, at times, be within the site boundary, the occupancy of that individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the site boundary. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the site boundary to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin.

The control implements the guides set forth in Section II.B of Appendix I. The action statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section IIL.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through the appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents will be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculational of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977.
| |
| The ODCM equations provided for determining the air doses at the site boundary were based upon utilizing successively more realistic dose calculational methodologies.
| |
| More realistic dose calculational methods are used whenever simplified calculations indicate a dose approaching a substantial portion of the regulatory limits. The methods used are, in order, previously determined air dose per released activity ratio, historical meteorological data and actual radionuclide mix released, or real time meteorology and actual radionuclides released.

| Revision I, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1. 111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision I, July 1977. These equations provide for determining the doses based upon either conservative atmospheric dispersion and an assumed critical nuclide mix or using real time meteorology and specific nuclides released. The release rate specifications for radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man. The pathways which are examined in the development of these calculations are: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, (3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

This Special Report shall include an analysis which demonstrates that radiation exposures from the site to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from the Millstone Site (including all effluent pathways and direct radiation) are less than the 40 CFR Part 190 Standard. If the estimated doses exceed the above limits, the Special Report shall include a request for a variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190.

| REMODCM Unit Two Controls Revision 22 IV.F. BASES Section IV.C.1 - Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation The radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases of liquid effluents. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with the approved methods in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. Monitoring of the turbine building sumps and condensate polishing facility floor drains is not required due to relatively low concentrations of radioactivity possible.
| |
| Section IV.C.2 - Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with the approved methods in the REMODCM to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. This instrumentation also includes provisions for monitoring (and controlling) the concentrations of potentially explosive gas mixtures in the waste gas holdup system. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
| |
| Two types of radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation, monitors and samplers, are being used at MP2 vent and Millstone Stack. Monitors have alarm/trip setpoints and are demonstrated operable by performing one or more of the following operations: CHANNEL CHECK, SOURCE CHECK, CHANNEL CALIBRATION, and CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST. Samplers are strictly collection devices made of canisters and filters. The CHANNEL CHECK surveillance requirements are met through (1) documented observation of the in-service rad monitor sample flow prior to filter replacement; (2) documented replacement of in-line iodine and particulate filters; and (3) documented observation of sample flow following the sampler return to service.
| |
| The flow indicator is the only indication available for comparison. These observations adequately provide assurance that the sampler is operating and is capable of performing its design function.
| |
| There are a number of gaseous release points which could exhibit very low concentrations of radioactivity. For all of these release paths, dose consequences would be insignificant due to the intermittent nature of the release and/or the extremely low concentrations of radioactivity. Since it is not cost-beneficial (nor in many cases practical due to the nature of the release (steam) or the impossibility of detecting such low levels), to monitor these pathways, it has been determined that these release paths require no monitoring or sampling.

| |
| | |
| REMODCM Unit Two Controls Revision 22 Section IV.D. 1.a - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Concentrations This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site will be less than the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II. This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will result in exposures within: (1) the Section IL.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, to an individual and (2) the limits of 10 CFR 20.106(e) to the population.
| |
| The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-1 35 is the controlling radioisotope and its MPC in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.
| |
| Section IV.D.1.b - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Doses This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.A, Ill.A, and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The specification implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The Action statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section III.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". The dose calculations in the ODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I is to be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The equations specified in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, "Revision 1, October 1977, and Regulatory Guide 1.113, "Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidental and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purpose of Implementing Appendix I," April 1977.
| |
| Section IV.D.2.a - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Dose Rate This specification is provided to ensure that the dose rate at anytime from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 for all areas offsite. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual offsite to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table II of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR 20.106(b)). For individuals who may, at times, be within the site boundary, the occupancy of that individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the site boundary. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the site boundary to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid or any other organ dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year.

| REMODCM Unit Two Controls Revision 22 Section IV.D.2.b - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Noble Gas Dose This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sections ll.B., IIL.A and IV.A of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50. The specification implements the guides set forth in Section II.B of Appendix I. The action statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through the appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents will be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculational of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977.
| |
| The ODCM equations provided for determining the air doses at the site boundary were based upon utilizing successively more realistic dose calculational methodologies. More realistic dose calculational methods are used whenever simplified calculations indicate a dose approaching a substantial portion of the regulatory limits. The methods used are, in order, previously determined air dose per released activity ratio, historical meteorological data and actual radionuclide mix released, or real time meteorology and actual radionuclides released.
| |
| Section IV.D.2.c - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents Other Than Noble Gas Doses These specifications is provided to implement the requirements of Sections IL.C, III.A and IV.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50. The specifications are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The action statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The ODCM calculational methods specified in the surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section IIL.A of Appendix I that conform with the guides for Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The ODCM calculational methods for calculating the doses due to the actual release of the subject materials will to be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculating of Annual Dose to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision I, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water Cooled Reactors," Revision I, July 1977.
| |
| The release rate specifications for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man. The pathways which are examined in the development of these calculations are: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, (3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

| REMODCM Unit Three Controls Revision 22 V.F. BASES Section V.C.1 - Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation The radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases of liquid effluents. The Alarm/Trip Setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section Ii to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
| |
| OPERABILITY of a radiation monitor is determined by its ability to perform its specified function. The specified function of the radioactivity monitors listed in Table V.C-1 is to provide Control Room alarm annunciation and automatic termination of release. The monitor must be on-line with no unexpected alarms in order to perform its specified function.
| |
| Definition B.7 states a component is OPERABLE when it is capable of performing its specified function. The monitors are described in Tables V.C-1 and V.C-2 as "Radioactivity Monitors Providing Alarm and Automatic Termination of Releases." Table V.C-2 Note 1 requires that the Analog Channel Operational Test (ACOT) demonstrate that automatic isolation and "control room annunciation" occur. Control room annunciation cannot occur unless the monitor is on line (i.e. in communication with the RMS computer.). Section V.C.1 Surveillance Requirement requires that the ACOT be performed to demonstrate OPERABILITY. General Design Criteria 64 states in part: "Means shall be provided for monitoring effluent discharge paths for radioactivity." Regulatory Guide 1.21 Appendix A describes a monitor program that is acceptable to the Regulatory staff. Under Section B of Appendix A, "LIQUID EFFLUENTS", the first paragraph states in part: "During the release of radioactive wastes, the effluent control monitor should be set to alarm and to initiate automatic closure..."
| |
| Certain of the monitors listed in Table V.C-1 are designed to operate without sample pumps.
| |
| These monitors utilize pressure in the effluent line during discharge to provide sample flow and sample pressure. Low sample flow and/or low sample pressure alarms may be received when no discharge is in progress. These are expected alarms. Sample flow and/or sample pressure will return to normal when the discharge is initiated. These alarms will clear when discharge begins. The monitors are OPERABLE since they are able to perform their specified function with the expected alarms in.
| |
| Table V.C-1 note ## requires entry into the radioactive liquid effluent monitoring action statements whenever the radiation monitors are not available in the required MODE. This note applies to items l.a (3CND-RE07, Waste Neutralization Sump), I .d (3LWC-RE65, Regenerate Evaporator Monitor), and I.e (3SSR-RE08, Steam Generator Blowdown Monitor) in Table V.C-I. The original issue of this requirement (as a Technical Specification) in January 1986 stated the applicability was "At all times." Technical Specification Amendment 22 added "APPLICABILITY" to Table V.C-1 (then Tech Spec Table 3.3-12). The applicability added in Amendment 22 is the present wording. The letter 131282 1, dated February 24, 1988, in the following sections discusses the change request and are quoted below:

| Section V.C.2 - Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation Instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases of gaseous effluents. The Alarm/Trip Setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in Section II to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
| |
| The sensitivity of any noble gas activity monitors used to show compliance with the gaseous effluent release requirements of Specification V.C.2.a shall be such that concentrations as low as 1 x 106 uCi/cc are measurable.
| |
| The vent normal range radiation monitor, HVR*10B, satisfies the requirements of Section V.C.2 for Unit 3 releases to the vent which is located on the turbine building. There are no requirements in the REMODCM associated with the vent high range radiation monitor, HVR* 10A.
| |
| The SLCRS normal range radiation monitor, HVR*19B, satisfies the requirements of Section V.C.2 for Unit 3 releases to the Millstone Stack.
| |
| There are no requirements in the REMODCM associated with the SLCRS high range radiation monitor, HVR*1 9A.
| |
| Section V.D.l.a - Radioactive Liquid Effluents Concentrations This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site will be less than the concentration levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II. This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will result in exposures within: (1) the Section IL.A design objectives of Appendix i, 10 CFR Part 50, to an individual and (2) the limits of 10 CFR 2 0.106(e) to the population.
| |
| The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its MPC in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.
| |
| Section V.D.1.b - Radioactive Liquid Effluents This specification is provided to implement the Doses requirements of Sections I.A, Ill.A, and IV.A of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50. The specification implements the guides set forth in Section V.F-2
| |
| | |
| REMODCM Unit Three Controls Revision 22 II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility the same time implement the guides set forth in and at Section III.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The dose calculation methodology and parameters in Section II implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I is to be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The equations specified in Section 11for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, "Revision 1, October 1977, and Regulatory Guide 1.113, "Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidental and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purpose of Implementing Appendix I," April 1977.

| Section V.D.2.a - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents This specification is provided to ensure that the Dose Rate dose rate at any time from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 for all areas offsite. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of an individual offsite to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table II of 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR 20.106(b)). For individuals who may, at times, be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy sufficiently low to compensate for any increase of that individual will be usually be in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the SITE BOUNDARY. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to an individual at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. Thesemrem/year to the whole body or to less release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid or any other organ dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year.

| Section V.D.2.b - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents This specification is provided to implement the Noble Gas Dose requirements of Sections ll.B., III.A and IV.A of Appendix 1, 10 CFR Part 50. The specification implements the guides set forth in Section Il.B of Appendix 1. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section V.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The Surveillance Requirements implement of Appendix I that conformance with the guides the requirements in Section ilI.A of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through the appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in Section II for calculating release rates of radioactive noble gases in gaseous the doses due to the actual methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, effluents will be consistent with the "Calculational of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport 1977 and Regulatory Guide Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled and Dispersion of Gaseous Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977.

| | |
| REMODCM Unit Three Controls Revision 22 realistic dose calculational methods are used whenever simplified calculations indicate a dose approaching a substantial portion of the regulatory limits. The methods used are, in order, previously determined air dose per released activity ratio, historical meteorological data and actual radionuclide mix released, or real time meteorology and actual radionuclides released.

| Section V.D.2.c - Radioactive Gaseous Effluents for Radionuclides Other Than Noble Gas These specifications are provided to implement the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A and IV.A of Appendix 1,10 CFR Part 50. The specifications are the guides set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The Section II calculational methods specified in the surveillance requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides for Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of an individual through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The Section II calculational methodology and parameters for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculating of Annual Dose to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision I, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision I, July 1977. The release rate specifications for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man. The pathways that are examined in the development of these calculations are: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, (3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

| Section V. E - Total Radiological Dose from Station Operations This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190. For the purpose of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to any REAL MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 5 miles must be considered.
