SUBJECT:
Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for 2012 Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2
Docket Nos. 50-313 and 50-368
Dear Sir or Madam:
Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2 (ANO-1 and ANO-2) Technical Specifications (TSs)
5.6.3 and 6.6.3, respectively, require the submittal of an Annual Radioactive Effluent Release
Report (ARERR) prior to May 1 of each year. The information to fulfill this reporting
requirement for ANO-1 and ANO-2 for the 2012 calendar year is enclosed.
Liquid and gaseous release data show that the dose from both ANO-1 and ANO-2 was
considerably below the Offsite Dose Calculati on Manual (ODCM) limits. The data reveals that radioactive effluents had an overall minimal dose contribution to the surrounding environment.
Carbon-14 (C-14) is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon. C-14 is produced in commercial
nuclear reactors, but the amounts produced are much less than those produced naturally.
Radioactive effluents from commercial nuclear power plants have decreased to the point that
C-14 can become a principle radionuclide in gaseous effluents, as defined in Regulatory
Guide 1.21. Therefore, concentrations and offsite dose from C-14 have been estimated and
included in this report for ANO.
Pursuant to ANO-1 TS 5.5.1 and ANO-2 TS 6.5.1, a copy of the revision (Revision 20) of the
ODCM that was effective by the end of calendar year 2012 is submitted as Attachment 1 to the ARERR.
As noted in the ARERR, the Process Control Program, EN-RW-105, was not revised in 2012.
A copy of the latest revision to this program is also attached, (Attachment 2) for information
only.
During preparation of this submittal, the graph representing the ANO-1 historical gaseous
effluents was noted to be incorrect due to an editorial error. The supporting data for the graph
has since been verified as accurate and the corrected page for the report submitted in 2012 is
included as Attachment 3 of this submittal.

ANO-1 & 2 Radioactive Effluent Release Report for 2012 Page 2 of 113 1. INTRODUCTION Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) is a two unit site consisting of a Babcock & Wilcox (Unit 1) and a
Combustion Engineering (Unit 2) nuclear steam supply system. Both liquid and gaseous
effluents are released in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). This
report is a summary of the effluent data in accordance with Unit 1 Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.3 and Unit 2 TS 6.6.3. This report provides the following information:
A. Routine radioactive effluent release reports covering the operation of the units during the reporting period.
B. Description of unplanned releases to unrestricted areas.
C. Description of changes to the ODCM.
D. Description of changes to the Process Control Program (PCP).
E. Summary of radiation doses due to radiological effluents during the previous calendar year.
F. Radiation dose to members of the public due to activities inside the site boundary.
G. Description of licensee initiated major changes to the radioactive waste systems during the previous calendar year.
H. Items to be reported in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) per other miscellaneous ODCM requirements.
I. Applicable Radioactive Ground Water Monitoring Program data.
J. ARERR data for 2012 Solid Waste Shipments.
K. Carbon-14 release quantification details are discussed in Section 18.
This report covers the period from January 1 through December 31, 2012.
- 2. REGULATORY LIMITS The ODCM contains the limits to which ANO must adhere. Because of the "as low as
reasonably achievable" (ALARA) philosophy at ANO, actions are taken to reduce the amount of
radiation released to the environment. Liquid and gaseous release data show that the dose
from both Unit 1 and Unit 2 is considerably below the ODCM limits. This data reveals that the
radioactive effluents have an overall minimal dose contribution to the surrounding environment.
The following are the limits required by the ODCM:
ANO-1 & 2 Radioactive Effluent Release Report for 2012 Page 3 of 113 A. Gaseous Effluents
- 1. Dose rate due to radioactive materials released in gaseous effluent to unrestricted areas shall be limited to the following:
- a. Noble gases Less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body Less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin
- b. Iodine-131, tritium, and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half lives greater than 8 days Less than or equal to 1500 mrem/yr to any organ
- 2. Dose - Noble Gases Quarterly Less than or equal to 5 mrads gamma Less than or equal to 10 mrads beta Yearly Less than or equal to 10 mrads gamma Less than or equal to 20 mrads beta
- 3. Dose - Iodine-131, Tritium, and Radionuclides in Particulate Form Quarterly Less than or equal to 7.5 mrems to any organ Yearly Less than or equal to 15 mrems to any organ
B. Liquid Effluents
- 1. Concentration The concentration of radioactive material released to the discharge canal shall be
limited to the concentration specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2, for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or
entrained noble gases, the total concentration released shall be limited to
2E-4 microcuries/ml.

Major change was to assign an applicable analysis frequency for ODCM required samples. This
change was to eliminate the possibility that a sample was taken but never analyzed. These
analysis frequencies were applied to both Effluent and Environmental sampling requirements.
Each limitation was also assigned an additional action to write a condition report immediately after
the limitation is violated.
Sample point STR-6 was added to sampling requirement for the Radiological Environmental
Monitoring Program (REMP).

SUMMARY
OF HOURLY METEOROLOGICAL DATA
In accordance with ODCM Appendix 1 Section 5.2, in lieu of including a summary of the
meteorological data in this report, the 2012 data is retained at ANO. This data is available for NRC
review.
- 16. DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR CHANGES TO RADIOACTIVE WASTE SYSTEMS
There were no major changes made to the Unit 1 or Unit 2 liquid and gaseous radwaste systems
or the solid radwaste system during 2012.
- 17. RADIOACTIVE GROUND WATER MONITORING PROGRAM DATA NEI 07-07, "Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative - Final Guidance Document,"
Objective 2.4, "Annual Reporting", requires documentation of all on-site ground water sample
results and a description of any significant on-site leaks/spills into ground water for each calendar
year in the ARERR as contained in the appropriate reporting procedure.
A. NEI 07-07 Objective 2.4, "Annual Reporting", Acceptance Criteria "b.i" requires that ground water sample results that are taken in support of the Ground Water Protection Initiative (GPI)
but are not part of the REMP program (e.g. samples obtained during the investigatory phase
of the action plan) are reported in the ARERR. Additionally, Entergy's procedure EN-CY-111, "Radiological Ground Water Monitoring Program," Step 5.9.3 requires that a listing of non-
REMP wells and a summary of pertinent sample results from the Radiological Ground Water ANO-1 & 2 Radioactive Effluent Release Report for 2012 Page 109 of 113 Monitoring Program (RGWMP) are reported in the ARERR and an estimate of the doses to a member of the public associated with off-site releases of licensed radioactive material via
ground water is included in the ARERR.
In 2012, there were no "non-REMP" designated ground water wells installed at ANO. There
were no new "REMP" designated ground water wells installed in 2012. There were four
previously installed (prior to 2010) "REMP" designated ground water wells. The results of the
samples collected from the "REMP" designated ground water wells are included in the 2012
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) as required by NEI 07-07.
The AREOR for the calendar year 2012 has not been submitted as of the date of this
transmittal. The AREOR will be submitted to the NRC in accordance with the ANO-1 and
ANO-2 TSs.
ANO did not show any positive results during storm water sampling activities in 2012.
ANO did not show any positive results during ground water sampling activities in 2012.
B. NEI 07-07 Objective 2.4, Acceptance Criteria "c.ii" requires that a description of all spills or leaks that were communicated per NEI 07-07 Objective 2.2, "Voluntary Communication" be
included in the ARERR. Additionally, Entergy's procedure EN-RP-113, "Response to
Contaminated Spills/Leaks," requires that the following be included in the ARERR:
- 1. Spills/leaks documented on Attachment 9.1 that were released to the environment or outside the spent fuel pool enclosure, SHALL be documented in the next ARERR.
- 2. The documentation in the ARERR report will contain: (a) Description of event (b) Impact of event (c) Remediation of event (d) Radioactive contamination content and levels of event (e) Discussion of impact on groundwater, if any In 2012, there were no spills/leaks that required communication per NEI 07-07 Objective 2.2 or
inclusion in the ARERR per EN-RP-113.
A PCRS search was conducted using radioactive spill(s) as the search criteria. No items were
found.
Entergy's procedure EN-CY-108, "Monitoring of Non-Radioactive Systems," requires that verified
positive results associated with the sampling of designated nonradioactive or cross-contaminated
systems are to be included in the site's AR ERR, unless already reported under an existing monitored ODCM release point.
In 2012, there were no verified positive results associated with the sampling of designated
nonradioactive or cross-contaminated systems.
ANO-1 & 2 Radioactive Effluent Release Report for 2012 Page 110 of 113 18. Carbon-14 Reporting The purpose of this section is to provide the required input for Carbon-14 (C-14) effluent source
term calculations. In Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.21, the NRC has recommended that
U.S. nuclear power plants evaluate whether C-14 is a principle gaseous effluent, and if so, report
the amount of C-14 released.
C-14 is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon. C-14 is produced in commercial nuclear reactors, but the amounts produced are much less than those produced naturally. Radioactive effluents
from commercial nuclear power plants have decreased to the point that C-14 can become a
principle radionuclide in gaseous effluents, as defined in RG 1.21. Therefore, concentrations and
offsite dose from C-14 have been estimated and included in this report for ANO. This is the
second time that information for C-14 has been provided for ANO.
In 2010, ANO and other facilities participated in an EPRI task force to build a model to accurately
estimate C-14 releases, given some key site-specific plant parameters (e.g., mass of the primary
coolant, average thermal neutron cross section, rated thermal power). For purposes of industry
standardization, the output from the EPRI model is presented in this report in the following
spreadsheets.

Additional Notes SPING 3 (Fuel Handling Area) was out-of-service for maintenance. Ventilation pathway was still
active; therefore, Chemistry is required to collect gas grab samples from this effluent pathway once
every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> (reference ODCM L.2.2.1.C.1).
SPING 3 was sampled 8/2/2012 @ 0350. Primary turnover (1052.023A) stated the next SPING 3
gas sample was due 8/2/2012 @ 1450 (1/11 hrs); however, Chemistry failed to collect the 1450 sample.
When the Night Shift chemist reported to work, he questioned the Day Shift chemist about the
status of the 1450 sample. The Day Shift chemist realized a required sample was missed, and he
immediately grabbed a SPING 3 gas sample. Gamma specs indicated sample results of less than
minimum detectable radioactivity (MDA).
Per ODCM L.2.2.1.E:
If Required Action(s) and/or Completion Time(s) of Condition C [L.2.2.1.C.1] and/or Condition D
not met, then E.1 requires the following action:
Suspend the release of radioactive effluents monitored by the affected channel (completion time
of immediately)
In summary, the SPING 3 gas sample required by ODCM L.2.2.1.C.1 due at 1550 (1/12 hours) on
8/2/2012 was not collected until 1800.
SPING 3 ventilation was not secured because the required action (gas sample) was collected and
analyzed before this action could be taken.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 5
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) provides guidance for making release rate and dose calculations for radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents from Arkansas Nuclear One -
Units 1 and 2 (ANO-1 and ANO-2). The methodology is drawn from NUREG-0133, Rev. 0.
Parameters contained within this manual were taken from NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.109 except as noted for site specific values. These numbers and the calculational
method may be changed as provided for in the Technical Specifications (TSs).
The following references are utilized in conjunction with the limitations included in this manual
concerning the indicated subjects:
Subject ANO-1 ANO-2 Process Control Program (PCP) EN RW-105 EN RW-105 Radioactive Effluent Controls Program TS 5.5.4 TS 6.5.4 Annual Radiological Environmental Monitoring Report TS 5.6.2 TS 6.6.2 Radioactive Effluent Release Report TS 5.6.3 TS 6.6.3 ODCM TS 5.5.1 TS 6.5.1
2.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS
2.1 Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitor Setpoint
ODCM Limitation L 2.1.1, "Radioactive Liquid Effluent Instrumentation," requires that the radioactive liquid effluents be monitored with the alarm/trip setpoints adjusted to ensure that the limits of the radioactive liquid effluent concentration limitations are not exceeded. These concentrations are for the site. The alarm/trip setpoint on the liquid effluent monitor is dependent upon the dilution water flow rate, radwaste tank flow rate, isotopic composition of the radioactive liquid to be discharged, a gross gamma count of the liquid to be discharged, background count rate of the monitor, and the efficiency of the monitor. Due to the fact that these are variables, an adjustable setpoint is used. The setpoint must be calculated and the monitor setpoint set prior to the release of each batch of radioactive liquid effluents. The
following methodology is used for the setpoint determination for the following monitors.
ANO-1: RE-4642 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor ANO-2: 2RE-2330 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor 2RE-4423 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor
- 1) A sample from each tank (batch) to be discharged is obtained and counted for gross gamma (Cs-137 equivalent) and a gamma isotopic analysis is performed.
- 2) A dilution factor (DF) for the tank is calculated based upon the results of the gamma isotopic analysis and the Maximum Permissible Concentration (MPC) of each detected
radionuclide.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 6 DF is calculated as follows:
DF = i (C i/MPC i) + C TNG/MPC TNG where: DF = dilution factor;
C i = concentration of isotope "i", (µCi/ml);
MPC i = maximum permissible concentration of isotope "i", (from 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2 in µCi/ml);
C TNG = total concentration of noble gases (µCi/ml); and MPC TNG = 2 x 10
-4 (µCi/ml) per Limitation L 2.3.1.a
- 3) The dilution water flowrate is normally the number of ANO-1 circulating water pumps in operation at the time of release. Each circulating water pump has an approximate flowrate of 191,500 gallons per minute (gpm) (this flowrate may be reduced due to throttling of circulating water pump flow and/or circulating water bay configuration).
However, under specific conditions and under strict controls, lower dilution water
flowrates utilizing service water and cooling tower blowdown flowrates may be used.
- 4) The theoretical release rate, F m, of the tank (batch) to be released is expressed in terms of the dilution water flowrate, such that for each volume of dilution water released, a
given volume of liquid radwaste may be combined. This may be expressed as follows:
F m = DV/DF where: F m = theoretical release rate (gpm); DV = Dilution volume (gpm). When ANO-1 circulating water pumps are running, DV is the number of ANO-1 circulating water pumps in operation multiplied by the approximate flowrate of an ANO-1 circulating water pump (normally 191,500 gpm) or an indicated flow rate. The minimum total flow rate shall be greater than or equal to 100,000 gpm. Otherwise DV is dilution volume
provided by service water and cooling tower blowdown flowrate; and DF = dilution factor as calculated in Step 2 above.
Note: In the above equation, the theoretical release rate (F m) approaches zero as the dilution factor increases. The actual flowrate (F A) will normally be equal to the theoretical release rate for high activity releases. For low activity releases, the theoretical release rate becomes large and may exceed the capacity of the pump discharging the tank. In these cases, the actual release rate may be set
to the maximum flowrate of the discharge pump.
- 5) The monitor setpoint is calculated by incorporating the monitor reading prior to starting the release (i.e., background countrate), and a factor which is the amount of increase in the release concentration that would be needed to exceed the radioactive liquid
concentration limitation. The monitor setpoint is expressed as follows:
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 7 M L = A*(K*F M/F A) + B where: M L = monitor setpoint (counts per minute or "cpm"); A = allocation fraction for the specific unit. (Typically, these values are set at 0.45, but may be adjusted up or down as needed. However, the total site
allocation can not exceed 1.0.) K = monitor countrate (cpm) expected based on the gross activity of the release (this value is obtained from a graph of activity (µCi/ml) versus output
countrate for the monitor (cpm));
F M/F A = number of times the activity would have to increase to exceed the radioactive liquid effluent-concentration limitation; and B = background countrate (cpm) prior to the release.
To permit the computer to calculate the setpoint, an equation for the expected countrate (K) is expressed as follows:
K = Offset
- S A Slope where: Log of the detector response in cpm Slope = Log of activity concentration in Ci/ml S A = Gross gamma (Cs-137 equivalent) activity for the tank ( Ci/ml); and Offset = detector response (cpm) for the minimum detectable sample activity calculated from the calibration data.
Note: I&C personnel use varying concentrations of Cs-137 to determine the response curve; therefore, a Cs-137 equivalent activity must
be used to accurately predict the countrate.
Combining terms, the equation for determining the monitor setpoint may be expressed
as follows:
M L = A[(Offset
- S A Slope)F M/F A] + B 2.2 Liquid Dose Calculation
The "dose" or "dose commitment" to an individual in the unrestricted area shall be less than or equal to the limits specified in 'Radioactive Liquid Effluents - Dose' Limitations. The dose limits are on a per reactor basis. This value is calculated using the adult as the maximum exposed
individual via the aquatic foods (Sport Freshwater Fish) and the potable water pathways.
2.2.1 Dose Calculations for Aquatic Foods
The concentrations of radionuclides in aquatic foods are assumed to be directly related to the concentrations in water. The equilibrium ratios between the two concentrations are called
"bioaccumulation factors."
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 8 Two different pathways are calculated for aquatic foods: sport and commercial freshwater fish.
The internal dose "d" from the consumption of aquatic foods in pathway "p" to organ "j" of individuals of age group "a" from all nuclides "i" is computed as follows (see Chapter 4 of
NUREG-0133 and RG 1.109-12, equation A-3):
d p (r, ,a,j) = i[{(1100)(e
- i t p)(B i)}(M)(U a)(F)-1 (Q i)(D aij)] The total dose from both aquatic food pathways is then:
D(r, ,a,j) = d p (r, ,a,j) P where: r = user-selected distance from the release point to the receptor location, in kilometers. It may be different from the controlling distance specified for the potable water
pathway (0.4 km); = user-selected sector (one of sixteen 22.5° sectors surrounding the reactor site, designated N, NNE, NE, etc.). This sector may be different from the controlling
sector specified for the potable water pathway (S); A = user-selected age group: infant, child, teen, adult. It is the same controlling age group used in the potable water pathway (adult); J = user-selected organ: bone, liver, total body, thyroid, kidney, lung, GI-LLI. It is the same controlling organ used in the potable water pathway (liver); { } = represents the concentration factor stored in the database; Note: Only one concentration factor is needed to represent the two pathways since sport and commercial use the same bioaccumulation factor for a
given pathway.
1100 = factor to convert from (Ci/yr)/(ft 3/sec) to Ci/liter; i = decay constant of nuclide "i" in hr
-1; t p = environmental transit time, release to receptor; Note: This value should be set to 0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> (i.e., no decay correction) for the above equation in order to be consistent with the equation presented in Chapter 4 of NUREG-0133. For maximum individual dose calculations, this value is set to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, which is the minimum transit time recommended by
RG 1.109, Appendix A, 2.b.
B i = bioaccumulation factor for nuclide "i", in Ci/kg per Ci/liter. Cesium has a site specific number based on carnivorous and bottom feeder sport fish of 400 Ci/kg per Ci/liter (0CAN048408, dated April 13, 1984); Niobium has a site specific number based upon freshwater fish of 300 Ci/kg per Ci/liter. M = dimensionless mixing ratio (reciprocal of the dilution factor) at the point of exposure; ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 9 U a = annual usage factor that specifies the intake rate for an individual of age group "a", in kilograms/year. The program selects this usage factor in accordance with the
controlling age group "a" as specified previously by the user; F = average flow rate in ft 3/sec. This value is based on total dilution volume for the quarter divided by time into the quarter; Q i = number of curies of nuclide "i" released; and D aij = ingestion dose factor for age group "a", nuclide "i", and organ "j", in mrem per Ci ingested. The program selects the ingestion dose factor according to the user-
specified controlling age group "a" and controlling organ "j".
2.2.2 Dose Calculations for Potable Water
The dose "D" from ingestion of water to organ "j" of individuals of age group "a" due to all nuclides "i" is calculated as follows (See Chapter 4 of NUREG-0133 and NRC RG 1.109-12, equation A-2):
Note: The potable water pathway is used only during the time that the Russellville Water System is using the Arkansas River as a water source. The Russellville Water Works
will notify ANO when they are using the Arkansas River as a water source.
D (r, ,a,j) = i [{(1100)(e
- i t p)}(M)(U a)(F-1)(Q i)(D aij)] where: r = user-selected distance (0.4 km) from the release point to the receptor location, in kilometers. It may be different from the controlling distance selected for the aquatic
food pathway; = user-selected sector; (one of the sixteen 22.5° sectors surrounding the reactor site, designated N, NNE, NE, etc.). It may be different from the controlling sector for the
aquatic food pathway; a = user-selected age group (infant, child, teen, adult). The same controlling age group is used for all liquid pathways (adult); j = user-selected organ (bone, liver, total body, thyroid, kidney, lung, GI-LLI). The same controlling organ is used for all liquid pathways (liver). { } = the expression in brackets represents the concentration factor stored in the database; 1100 = factor to convert from (Ci/yr)/(ft 3/sec) to Ci/liter; M = dimensionless mixing ratio (reciprocal of the dilution factor) at the point of exposure; i = decay constant of nuclide "i" in hr
-1; and t p = environmental transit time, release to receptor.
Note: This value is set to 0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> (i.e., no decay correction) for the above equation to be consistent with the equation presented in Chapter 4 of
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 10 U a = annual usage factor that specifies the intake rate for an individual of age group "a", in liters/year. The program selects this usage factor according to the user-specified
controlling age group "a"; F = average flow rate in ft 3/sec; this value is based on total dilution volume for one quarter divided by time into the quarter; Q i = number of curies of nuclide "i" in the release; and D aij = ingestion dose factor, for age group "a", nuclide "i", and organ "j", in mrem per Ci ingested. The program selects the ingestion dose factor according to the user-
specified controlling age group "a" and controlling organ "j".
2.3 Liquid Projected Dose Calculation
The quarterly projected dose is based upon the methodology of Section 2.2 and is expressed as
follows:
D QP = 92(D QC + D RP)/T where: D QP = quarterly projected dose (mrem); 92 = number of days per quarter;
D QC = cumulative dose for the quarter (mrem);
D RP = dose for current release (mrem); and T = current days into quarter;
3.0 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS
3.1 Gaseous Monitor Setpoints
Note: Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 below detail two methods of calculating setpoints at ANO. These methods cover two different sets of monitors of which only one will be in-service
at any one time.
3.1.1 Batch Release Setpoint Calculations 3.1.1.a This section applies to the following gaseous radiation monitors (these releases are also monitored by the SPING monitors in Section 3.1.2):
ANO-1: RE-4830 - Waste Gas Holdup System Monitor* RX-9820 - Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation SPING ANO-2: 2RE-8233 - Containment Building Purge Monitor*
2RE-2429 - Waste Gas Holdup System Monitor* 2RX-9820 - Containment Building Purge and Ventilation SPING
- These monitors provide automatic isolation.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 11 The setpoints to be used during a batch type of release (i.e., Reactor Building [Containment] Purge, release from the Waste Gas Holdup System or any other non-routine release) will be calculated for each release before it occurs.
3.1.1.b The basic methodology for determining a monitor setpoint is based upon the expected concentration at the monitor (C M). This is in turn based upon the fraction of an MPC assigned to this release point. Batch releases are maintained below the assigned MPC fraction by controlling the release rate. The calculated value of S may not exceed the equivalent of 1 MPC at site boundary. If value of S for RX (2RX) -9820 is less than SPING Channel 5 high alarm setpoint, then the high alarm setpoint may be used as a default value. If the value of S for RE-4830 and 2RE-2429 is less than 50,000 cpm, then 50,000 cpm may be used as a minimum setpoint. If the value of S for 2RE-8233 is less than 1,000 cpm, then 1,000 cpm may
be used as a minimum setpoint.
S = 1.2(C M)(K) + (2.0)(B) where: S = monitor setpoint (cpm);
C M = Xe-133 equivalent concentration at the monitor ( Ci/ml); K = conversion factor determined from response curve of monitor (cpm per Ci/ml). This value is 1.0 when calculating S for RX (2RX) -9820. 2.0 = factor to accommodate random count rate fluctuations; B = background count rate at the monitor (cpm).
1.2 = Safety Factor to correct for instrument uncertainties.
3.1.2 Eberline SPING (Final Effluent) Monitor Setpoint Calculations
3.1.2.a This section applies to the following gaseous radiation monitors:
ANO-1: RX-9820 - Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation SPING RX-9825 - Auxiliary Building Ventilation SPING RX-9830 - Spent Fuel Pool Area Ventilation SPING RX-9835 - Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation SPING ANO-2: 2RX-9820 - Containment Building Purge and Ventilation SPING 2RX-9825 - Auxiliary Building Ventilation SPING 2RX-9830 - Spent Fuel Pool Area Ventilation SPING 2RX-9835 - Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation SPING 2RX-9845 - Auxiliary Building Extension Ventilation SPING 2RX-9850 - Radwaste Storage Building Ventilation SPING
The determination of setpoints for the above monitors is based on an assigned fraction of the MPC of noble gas activity at the site boundary (Xe-133 equivalent) released from the above release points. The total of these fractions is always less than 1.00. The assigned fractions are based on the vent flow rates, atmospheric
dilution rate, and the ventilation system(s) in operation.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 12 Note: The fact that an effluent monitor is in alarm does not necessarily mean that radioactive gases are being released at such a rate that the MPC limit is being exceeded. The alarm would indicate that radioactive gases are being released at a rate that is exceeding the fractional allocation of an MPC allotted to that particular release point. Consideration must be given to the
release rate of radioactive gases via all of the release pathways.
The initial fractions of an MPC allocated to the release points are given below. The allocations may be changed as needed, to allow for operational transients, but may
not exceed a site total of 1.00.
Monitor Number Monitor Name Fractional Allocation RX-9820 Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation 0.1000 RX-9825 Auxiliary Building Ventilation 0.2000 RX-9830 Spent Fuel Pool Area Ventilation 0.1500 RX-9835 Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation 0.0001 Monitor Number Monitor Name Fractional Allocation 2RX-9820 Containment Building Purge and Ventilation 0.1000 2RX-9825 Auxiliary Building Ventilation 0.2000 2RX-9830 Spent Fuel Pool Area Ventilation 0.1500 2RX-9835 Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation 0.0001 2RX-9840 PASS Building Ventilation 0.0100 2RX-9845 Auxiliary Building Extension Ventilation 0.0100 2RX-9850 Radwaste Storage Building Ventilation 0.0100 Note: The setpoints to be used during a batch release (i.e., Reactor Building [Containment] Purge or Waste Gas Holdup System) will be calculated for
each release before it occurs.
3.1.2.b SPING monitor setpoints may be calculated as follows:
Xe-133 eq (µCi/cc)
Setpoint ( Ci/cc) = A F(1.3215E-9)(TMPC) where: A = allocation fraction (the fraction of an MPC at the site boundary (of noble gas Xe-133 eq activity) assigned to the particular release
point); Xe-133 eq = Xenon-133 equivalent concentration; F = discharge flow of the particular release point in cubic feet per minute (cfm) 2.8E-6(sec/m
- 3) 1.3215E-9 = 2.8317E-2(cm/cf) 60(sec/min)
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 13 where: 2.8E-6 = the annual average gaseous dispersion factor (corrected for radioactive decay) as defined in Section 2.3 of the ANO-2 Safety
Analysis Report (SAR); and TMPC = total MPCs at site boundary.
3.2 Airborne Release Dose Rate Effects 3.2.1 Noble Gas Release Rate 3.2.1.a To calculate the noble gas release dose rate, the average ground-level concentration of radionuclide "i" at the receptor location must first be determined from the following
equation (see RG 1.109-20 equation B-4).

to the plant; and t b = is the period of time for which sediment is exposed to the contaminated water in hours. The mid-point of plant operating life, 15 years was
chosen per RG 1.109.
3.6.2 Airborne Release 3.6.2.a Dose Due to Noble Gases Dose to fisherman at the discharge canal can be calculated by the ratio of dispersion factor for the discharge canal (1.6E-4 sec/m 3 from Table 2-45 SAR, Unit 1, 100 meters downwind in a southerly direction) and the usage factor of 67 hours7.75463e-4 days <br />0.0186 hours <br />1.107804e-4 weeks <br />2.54935e-5 months <br /> of shoreline recreation to the values used
in Section 3.3 of this manual.
1.6E-467 hr Dose at discharge canal = D T ()
- 2.8E-6
- 8760 hr where D T () is the noble gas dose calculated by Section 3.3.
3.6.2.b Dose Due to Iodine, Tritium and Particulates from Gaseous Effluents Section 3.4 calculates total dose for iodine, tritium and particulates as the sum of:
D TOT = D G + D I + D V + D L + D M + D F where: D G = ground plane deposition; D L = consumption of fresh leafy vegetables; D I = inhalation; D m = consumption of milk; and D v = consumption of vegetation; D F = consumption of meat and poultry
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 26 The only contributions relevant to fishing activities at the discharge canal are ground plane deposition and inhalation. As D G and D I are not independently available, a conservative estimate can be obtained by using the same correction factor developed for noble gas dose to the total dose calculated in Section 3.4 for iodine, tritium and particulates. Depletion of the plume as it travels downwind can be ignored since the fraction remaining in the plume at 100 meters (discharge canal) and 1046 meters (site boundary) are both greater than 90%
according to Figure 3 of RG 1.111.
The only activity inside the plant site by members of the public that might contribute a significant dose is fishing along the banks of the discharge canal. Travel along public roads would involve short exposure time and tours of the facility are conducted according to radiological control
procedures enforced at the plant to control exposure. Fishing is the only uncontrolled activity.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING STATIONS - RADIOLOGICAL
Section 1.0 of the ODCM provides reference to the Radioactivty Effluent Controls Program governed by ANO-1 TS 5.5.4 and ANO-2 TS 6.5.4. However, a Radiological Environmental
Monitoring Program is also necessary to m eet the intent of the purpose of the ODCM.
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is established to provide radiation and radionuclide monitoring in the environs surrounding the site. The program provides a method for representative measurements of radioactivity in the highest potential exposure pathways. In addition, the program provides for verification of the accuracy of the effluent monitoring program and modeling of envronmental exposure pathways.
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is established by the ODCM and conforms to the guidance contained in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. The program also provides for:
- 1. Monitoring, sampling, analysis, and reporting of radiation and radionuclides in the environment in accordance with the me thodology and parameters of the ODCM,
- 2. A land use census to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the site boundary are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made, if
required by the results of the census, and
- 3. Participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive materials in
environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for
environmental monitoring.
Environmental samples are collected as specified in the Limitations. The approximate locations
of selected sample sites are shown on Figures 4-1, 4-1A, and 4-1B for illustrative purposes.
Table 4-1 lists the approximate distances and directions of the sample stations from the plant.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 73 B 2.0 LIMITITATION (L) APPLICABILITY BASES Limitations L 2.0.1 through L 2.0.5 establish the general requirements applicable to all Limitations and apply at all times, unless otherwise stated.
B 2.0.1 L 2.0.1 establishes the Applicability statement within each individual Limitation as the requirement for when the Limitation is required to be met (i.e., when the
unit is in the MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability statement
of each Limitation).
B 2.0.2 L 2.0.2 establishes that upon discovery of a failure to meet a Limitation, the associated ACTIONS shall be met. The Completion Time of each Required
Action for an ACTIONS Condition is applicable from the point in time that an
ACTIONS Condition is entered. The Required Actions establish those remedial
measures that must be taken within specified Completion Times when the
requirements of a Limitation are not met. This Limitation establishes that:
- a. Completion of the Required Actions within the specified Completion Times constitutes compliance with a Limitation; and
- b. Completion of the Required Actions is not required when a Limitation is met within the specified Completion Time, unless otherwise specified.
Completing the Required Actions is not required when a Limitation is no longer
applicable, unless otherwise stated in the individual Specification.
B 2.0.3 L 2.0.3 establishes the Required Actions that must be implemented when a Limitation is not met and the condition is not specifically addressed by the
associated Conditions. It is not intended to be used as an operational
convenience that permits routine voluntary removal of redundant systems or
components from service in lieu of other al ternatives that would not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable. This requirement is
intended to provide assurance that plant management is aware of the condition
and to ensure that the condition is evaluated for its affect on continued
operation of the plant.
B 2.0.4 L 2.0.4 establishes Limitations on changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when a Limitation is not met. It allows placing the
unit in a MODE or other specified condition stated in that Applicability (e.g., the
Applicability desired to be entered) when unit conditions are such that the
requirements of the Limitation would not be met, in accordance with Limitation
L 2.0.4.a, L 2.0.4.b, or L 2.0.4.c.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 74 BASES LIMITATION APPLICABILITY (continued)
B 2.0.4 L 2.0.4 allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the (continued) Applicability with the Limitation not met when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition in
the Applicability for an unlimited period of time. Compliance with Required
Actions that permit continued operation of the unit for an unlimited period of
time in a MODE or other specified condition provides an acceptable level of
safety for continued operation. This is without regard to the status of the unit
before or after the MODE change. Therefore, in such cases, entry into a MODE
or other specified condition in the Applicability may be made in accordance with
the provisions of the Required Actions. The provisions of this Limitation should
not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of
restoring systems or components to FUNCTIONAL status before entering an
associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.
Upon entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the
Limitation not met, L 2.0.1 and L 2.0.2 require entry into the applicable
Conditions and Required Actions until the Condition is resolved, until the
Limitation is met, or until the unit is not within the Applicability of the Limitation.
Surveillances do not have to be performed on the associated inoperable
equipment (or on variables outside the specified limits), as permitted by S 2.0.1.
Therefore, utilizing L 2.0.4 is not a violation of S 2.0.1 or S 2.0.4 for any
Surveillances that have not been performed on equipment. However, Surveillances must be met to ensure FUNCTIONALITY prior to declaring the
associated equipment FUNCTIONAL (or variable within limits) and restoring
compliance with the affected Limitation.
B 2.0.5 L 2.0.5 establishes the allowance for restoring equipment to service under administrative controls when it has been removed from service or declared non-functional to comply with ACTIONS. The sole purpose of this Limitation is to
provide an exception to L 2.0.2 (e.g., to not comply with the applicable Required
Actions) to allow the performance of required testing to demonstrate:
- a. The FUNCTIONALITY of the equipment being returned to service; or
- b. The FUNCTIONALITY of other equipment.
The administrative controls ensure the time the equipment is returned to service
in conflict with the requirements of the ACTIONS is limited to the time absolutely
necessary to perform the required testing to demonstrate FUNCTIONALITY.
This Limitation does not provide time to perform any other preventive or
corrective maintenance.
An example of demonstrating the FUNCTIONALITY of the equipment being
returned to service is restarting a ventilation system that has been secured to
comply with Required Actions and must be restarted to perform the required
testing.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 75 B 2.0 SURVEILLANCE (S) APPLICABILITY BASES S 2.0.1 SRs shall be met during the MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for individual Limitations, unless otherwise stated in the individual
Surveillance. Failure to meet a Surveillance, whether such failure is
experienced during the performance of the Surveillance or between
performances of the Surveillance, shall be failure to meet the Limitation. Failure
to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency shall be failure to meet
the Limitation except as provided in S 2.0.3. Surveillances are not required to
be performed on non-functional equipment or variables outside specified limits.
S 2.0.2 The specified Frequency for each Surveillance is met if the Surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency, as
measured from the previous performanc e or as measured from the time a specified condition of the Frequency is met.
For Frequencies specified as "once," the above interval extension does not
apply. If a Completion Time requires periodic performance on a "once per . . ." basis, the above Frequency extension applies to each performance after the initial
performance.
Exceptions to this Limitation are stated in the individual Limitations.
S 2.0.3 If it is discovered that a Surveillance was not performed within its specified Frequency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the Limitation not
met may be delayed, from the time of discovery, up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit
of the specified Frequency, whichever is greater. This delay period is permitted
to allow performance of the Surveillance.
If the Surveillance is not performed within the delay period, the Limitation must
immediately be declared not met, and the applicable Condition(s) must be
entered. When the Surveillance is performed within the delay period and the Surveillance
is not met, the Limitation must immediately be declared not met, and the
applicable Condition(s) must be entered.
S 2.0.4 Entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of a Limitation shall only be made when the Limitation's Surveillances have been met within
their specified Frequency, except as provided by S 2.0.3. When a Limitation is
not met due to Surveillances not having been met, entry into a MODE or other
specified condition in the Applicability shall only be made in accordance with
L 2.0.4.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 76 B 2.1 RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION
BASES BACKGROUND The Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential
releases.
LIMITATION
The following Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is required to be
FUNCTIONAL:
ANO-1: RE-4642 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor RE-2682 - "A" Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor RE-2681 - "B" Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor ANO-2: 2RE-2330 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor 2RE-4423 - Liquid Radwaste Monitor Both radiation monitoring and flow monitoring capability are required to be FUNCTIONAL for
each Liquid Radwaste Monitor. With regard to Liquid Radwaste radiation monitoring, the
alarm/trip function must also be FUNCTIONAL. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments
are calculated in accordance with the methods contained in ODCM Section 2.1 to ensure that
the alarm/trip will occur prior to potentially exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.
With regard to the Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors, these monitors must have a
measurement range capability from 10
-1 mR/hr to 10 4 mR/hr.
APPLICABILITY
The Liquid Radwaste Monitors are required to be FUNCTIONAL during any release via the
pathway in which the monitor is installed. The Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors are
required to be FUNCTIONAL in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.
ACTIONS The following ACTIONS are generally applicable to the pathway in which a radioactive liquid
release is in progress. Because more than one release could occur simultaneously, the
ACTIONS are modified by a Note that permits separate Condition entry for each non-functional
Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrument.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 77 B 2.1 ACTIONS (continued)
A.1 If the radiation monitoring feature of the Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrument is
non-functional, any release via the associated pathway must be suspended immediately. This
prevents the release of unmonitored effluents to the environment.
A.2.1 In addition to Required Action A.1, a non-functional radiation monitoring feature of a
Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrument must be returned to a FUNCTIONAL status
prior to the restart or subsequent release of effluents via the associated pathway. This
prevents the release of unmonitored effluents to the environment. Exceptions to this requirement are included in Required Actions A.2.2.1 through A.2.2.3 below.
A.2.2.1 through A.2.2.3 In lieu of performing Required Action A.2.1 above, grab samples may be obtained and
analyzed to provide a backup monitoring method for the effluent release. Because of the
importance of monitoring radioactive liquid releases, two independent samples of the effluent
must be obtained and analyzed. The independency required is with regard to obtaining and
analyzing each sample separately. Two independent personnel are not required to obtain and
analyze the two samples.
Notwithstanding the above, computer input data and the discharge valve lineup associated
with the effluent release path must be verified by two independent, qualified individuals.
Integrity of independence is maintained by preventing interaction between personnel during
the verification process. With regard to valve lineups, independent verification is conducted
such that each check constitutes actual identification of the valve and a determination of both
"required" and "actual" valve position.
B.1 and B.2 If the flow monitoring feature of the Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrument is non-
functional, the flow rate may be estimated within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of initial loss of the instrument and
every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> thereafter, for the duration of the effluent release. Flow rate data is necessary to
calculate the amount of radioactive released via the effluent discharge. The 4-hour
Completion Time is reasonable because a significant change in flow rate over the course of an
effluent release is unlikely.
S 2.0.2 is not applicable to the initial flow estimation, but may be applied to the flow
estimations thereafter. Pump curves may be used to estimate flow.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 78 B 2.1 ACTIONS (continued)
C.1 If one or more Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors is non-functional, the pre-planned alternate
monitoring method of monitoring must be established within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. The alternate method
chosen should ensure continued monitoring of the Main Steam system for radiation while
operating in MODES 1, 2, 3, or 4. In addition, the affected monitor(s) must be restored to a
FUNCTIONAL status within 7 days.
D.1 If the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Conditions A, B, and/or C cannot
be met, then additional measures may be necessary to ensure continued safe operation or to
reduce overall station risk. Therefore, a condition report must be initiated immediately to
assess the impact on continued effluent release operations given the degraded condition.
E.1 Instrumentation installed to ensure radiological monitoring of effluent releases is expected to
be normally available in accordance with the design function or purpose of the equipment.
Instrumentation that remains non-functional for greater than 30 days may indicate
inappropriate importance placed on the equipment or over-reliance on the backup sampling
method for effluent release monitoring. As an incentive to avoid either of these conditions, Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation that remains non-functional for more
than 30 days must be included in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report submitted pursuant
to TS 5.6.3 (ANO-1) or TS 6.6.3 (ANO-2). In order to ensure inclusion, Required Action E.1
requires the condition to be tracked via a condition report.
Information to be provided in the respective Radioactive Effluent Release Report should
include 1) the component number and noun name, 2) the failure mode, 3) the reason for
continued inoperability, and 4) the expected return to service date.
SURVEILLANCES
S 2.1.1.1 Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provides reasonable assurance for
prompt identification of a gross failure of instrumentation. A CHANNEL CHECK is normally a
comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other
channels. Where parameter comparison is not possible, the CHANNEL CHECK will continue
to identify gross instrument failure such as loss of power, unexpected upscale readings, failed-
low indications, etc. The CHANNEL CHECK is key in verifying that the instrumentation
continues to operate properly between CHANNEL CALIBRATIONs. The Frequency is based
on unit operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is rare.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 79 B 2.1 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.1.1.2 A CHANNEL TEST is performed on the radiation monitoring portion of each required
instrument channel to ensure the entire channel will perform the intended functions. The
CHANNEL TEST demonstrates that automatic isolation of the associated pathway and Control
Room alarm occur should the instrument indicate measured levels above the trip setpoint.
The channel test also demonstrates that alarm occurs when any of the following conditions
exist: A. Power to the detector is lost.
B. The instrument indicates a downscale failure.
C. Instrument controls are not set in the operate mode.
Any setpoint adjustment shall be consistent with Section 2.1 of the ODCM.
The Surveillance is modified by a Note clarifying that the CHANNEL TEST is applicable only to
the radiation detection portion of the monitor function and is not applicable to the flow
monitoring function. The Frequency of 92 days is based on unit operating experience, with
regard to channel FUNCTIONALITY and drift, which demonstrates that failure of a channel in
any 92-day interval is a rare event, especially in light of the infrequency of radioactive liquid
releases.
S 2.1.1.3 CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument channel, including the
sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to a measured parameter within the
necessary range and accuracy. CHANNEL CALIBRATION leaves the channel adjusted to
account for instrument drift (as required) to ensure that the instrument channel remains
FUNCTIONAL between successive tests. CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall find that
measurement errors and setpoint errors are within the assumptions of the setpoint
calculations. CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS must be performed consistent with the assumptions
of the setpoint calculations. This Frequency is justified by the assumption of at least an
18 month calibration interval to determine the m agnitude of equipment drift or deviation in the setpoint calculations.
Initial CHANNEL CALIBRATION is performed using one or more of the reference standards
certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or using standards that
have been obtained from suppliers that participate in measurement assurance activities with
NIST. These standards permit calibrating the system over its intended range of energy and
measurement range. For subsequent CHANNEL CALIBRATION, sources that have been
related to the initial calibration are used.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 80 B 2.1 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.1.1.4 A SOURCE CHECK provides a qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel
sensor is exposed to the radioactive source. This check is performed within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> prior to
release of effluent via the associated flow path. When a SOURCE CHECK can be performed, it provides verification that the sensor will respond to an increase in radiation level. Note 1, however, does not require a SOURCE CHECK when the background radiation at the sensor is
greater than the check source. This is acceptable because of the other required tests above (CHANNEL CHECK, CHANNEL TEST, CHANNEL CALIBRATION). The 8-hour restriction is
reasonable because it is unlikely that the sensor will unexpectedly fail in any 8-hour period.
Note 2 provides clarification that the SOURCE CHECK applies only to the radiation detection
portion of the Liquid Radwaste Monitor and is not applicable to the flow monitor portion or to
the Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 81 B 2.2 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION
BASES BACKGROUND The Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is provided to monitor and
control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual
or potential releases.
LIMITATION The following Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is required to be
FUNCTIONAL:
NOTE-------------------------------------------------------
Refer to ANO-2 Technical Specification (TS) 3.3.3.1 for ANO-2 Containment Building Purge
System Process Monitor (2RE-8233) operab ility requirements and associated ACTIONS.
ANO-1: RE-4830 - Waste Gas Holdup System Process Monitor* RX-9820 - Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation SPING RX-9825 - Auxiliary Building Ventilation SPING RX-9830 - Spent Fuel Pool Area Ventilation SPING RX-9835 - Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation SPING ANO-2: 2RE-2429 - Waste Gas Holdup System Process Monitor* 2RX-9820 - Containment Building Purge and Ventilation SPING 2RX-9825 - Auxiliary Building Ventilation SPING 2RX-9830 - Spent Fuel Pool Area Ventilation SPING 2RX-9835 - Emergency Penetration Room Ventilation SPING 2RX-9845 - Auxiliary Building Extension Ventilation SPING 2RX-9850 - Radwaste Storage Building Ventilation SPING
- These monitors provide automatic isolation.
The radiation monitoring (process gas and SPING noble gas) and effluent flow monitoring
capability are required to be FUNCTIONAL for each monitor. For SPING monitors the
sample flow monitoring, the iodine sample, and the particulate sampler must also be
FUNCTIONAL. With regard to Waste Gas Holdup System radiation monitoring, the alarm/trip
function must also be FUNCTIONAL. The alarm/trip setpoints for specified instruments are
calculated in accordance with the methods contained in ODCM Section 3.1 to ensure that the
alarm/trip will occur prior to potentially exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.105. Note that
the PURGE function of the ANO-1 and ANO-2 Reactor (Containment) Building is treated
separately from the ventilation function.
Performance of a SOURCE CHECK on a given radiation monitor does not require the monitor
to be declared non-functional due to the short period of time required to perform this test.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 82 B 2.2 APPLICABILITY The above monitors are required to be FUNCTIONA L during any release via the pathway in which the monitor is installed.
ACTIONS The following ACTIONS are applicable to the pathway in which a radioactive gaseous release
is in progress. Because more than one release could occur simultaneously, the ACTIONS are
modified by a Note that permits separate Condition entry for each non-functional Radioactive
Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrument.
A.1 If the radiation monitoring feature, including the alarm/trip function for monitors having an
automatic isolation feature, of the Waste Gas Holdup or ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge and
Ventilation System Gas Activity Process or Nobl e Gas Activity Monitor(s) is non-functional, any release via the associated pathway must be suspended immediately. This prevents the
release of unmonitored effluents to the environment.
A.2.1 In addition to Required Action A.1, a non-functional Waste Gas Holdup or Reactor Building
Purge and Ventilation System Gas Activity Proce ss or Noble Gas Activity Monitor, including the alarm/trip function for monitors having an automatic isolation feature, must be returned to a
FUNCTIONAL status prior to the restart or subsequent release of effluents via the associated
pathway. This prevents the release of unmonito red effluents to the environment. Exceptions to this requirement are included in Required Actions A.2.2.1 through A.2.2.3 below.
A.2.2.1 through A.2.2.3 In lieu of performing Required Action A.2.1 above, grab samples may be obtained and
analyzed to provide a backup monitoring method for the effluent release. Because of the
importance of monitoring radioactive gaseous releases, two independent samples of the
effluent must be obtained and analyzed. The independency required is with regard to
obtaining and analyzing each sample separately. Two independent personnel are not required
to obtain and analyze the two samples.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 83 B 2.2 ACTIONS (continued)
A.2.2.1 through A.2.2.3 (continued)
Notwithstanding the above, computer input data and the discharge valve lineup associated
with the effluent release path must be verified by two independent, qualified individuals.
Integrity of independence is maintained by preventing interaction between personnel during
the verification process. With regard to valve lineups, independent verification is conducted
such that each check constitutes actual identification of the valve and a determination of both
"required" and "actual" valve position. Required Action A.2.2.3 is modified by a Note that
excepts the valve lineup requirement from the Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation System since no manual valves are manipulated for this release path.
B.1 and B.2 If the flow monitoring features of the Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is non-functional, the flow rate may be estimated within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of initial loss of the instrument
and every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> thereafter, for the duration of the effluent release. Flow rate data is
necessary to calculate the amount of radioactive released via the effluent discharge.
Therefore, if flow cannot be estimated, it is necessary to suspend the release of radioactive
effluents monitored by the affected channel. The 4-hour Completion Time is reasonable
because a significant change in flow rate over the course of an effluent release is unlikely.
S 2.0.2 is not applicable to the initial flow estimation, but may be applied to the flow
estimations thereafter. Pump curves may be used to estimate flow.
C.1 and C.2 With the exception of Waste Gas Holdup System releases or during a PURGE of the ANO-1 Reactor Building, releases may continue via an associated pathway when the Noble Gas
Activity Monitor(s) is non-functional, provided a sample of the effluent is obtained once every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and analyzed within the following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This prevents the release of
unmonitored effluents to the environment. AC TIONS C.1 and C.2 are modified by a note, referring to ANO-1 TS 3.9.3 for additional ACTIONS that may be necessary if the required
ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge and Ventilation System Noble Gas Activity Monitor is inoperable.
S 2.0.2 is not applicable to the initial sample and analysis, but may be applied to the sample
and analysis thereafter.
D.1, D.2, and D.2 If one or more required Iodine and/or Particulate Samplers are non-functional, auxiliary sampling equipment must be established within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. The backup Iodine and Particulate
cartridges must be replaced every 7 days. Following replacement, the respective cartridge
must be analyzed within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />. This prevents the release of unmonitored effluents to the
environment.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 84 B 2.2 ACTIONS (continued)
E.1 If the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Condition C and/or D cannot be
met, then releases via the associated pathway must be suspended. This prevents the release
of unmonitored effluents to the environment.
F.1 If the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Condition A, B, and/or E cannot
be met, then additional measures may be necessary to ensure continued safe operation or to
reduce overall station risk. Therefore, a condition report must be initiated immediately to
assess the impact on continued effluent release operations given the degraded condition.
G.1 Instrumentation installed to ensure radiological monitoring of effluent releases is expected to
be normally available in accordance with the design function or purpose of the equipment.
Instrumentation that remains non-functional for greater than 30 days may indicate
inappropriate importance placed on the equipment or over-reliance on the backup sampling
method for effluent release monitoring. As an incentive to avoid either of these conditions, Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation that remains non-functional for more
than 30 days must be included in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report submitted pursuant
to TS 5.6.3 (ANO-1) or TS 6.6.3 (ANO-2). In order to ensure inclusion, Required Action G.1
requires the condition to be tracked via a condition report.
Information to be provided in the respective Radioactive Effluent Release Report should
include 1) the component number and noun name, 2) the failure mode, 3) the reason for
continued inoperability, and 4) the expected return to service date.
SURVEILLANCES
S 2.2.1.1 Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provides reasonable assurance for
prompt identification of a gross failure of instrumentation. A CHANNEL CHECK is normally a
comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other
channels. Where parameter comparison is not possible, the CHANNEL CHECK will continue
to identify gross instrument failure such as loss of power, unexpected upscale readings, failed-
low indications, etc. The CHANNEL CHECK is key in verifying that the instrumentation
continues to operate properly between CHANNEL CALIBRATIONs. The Frequency is based
on unit operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is rare.
This Surveillance is modified by a Note the ex empts the Iodine and Particulate Samplers from a CHANNEL CHECK since these components do not have electronic features or indications.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 85 B 2.2 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.2.1.2 A local check must be made every 7 days to verify that required Iodine Sampler cartridges and
Particulate Sample filters are in place. The 7-day Frequency is reasonable because it is
unlikely a cartridge or filter could be i nadvertently removed from the system.
S 2.2.1.3 and S 2.2.1.6
A CHANNEL TEST is performed on required Gas Activity Process and Noble Gas Activity
Monitors to ensure the entire channel will perform the intended functions. For the Waste Gas
Holdup and ANO-2 Containment Building Purge Systems, the CHANNEL TEST demonstrates
that automatic isolation of the associated pathway and Control Room alarm occur should the
instrument indicate measured levels above the trip setpoint. The channel test also
demonstrates that alarm occurs when any of the following conditions exist: A. Power to the detector is lost.
B. The instrument indicates a downscale failure.
C. Instrument controls are not set in the operate mode.
Any setpoint adjustment shall be consistent with Section 3.1 of the ODCM.
Because the alarm/trip function and/or the importance of the release path, a CHANNEL TEST
of the associated Gas Activity Process and Noble Gas Activity Monitors is required within
31 days prior to release via the Waste Gas Holdup or ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge and
Ventilation Systems. This ensures the monitors are FUNCTIONAL within a reasonable period
of time before such a release is commenced. All active pathway Gas Activity Process and
Noble Gas Activity Monitors undergo a CHANNEL TEST once every 92 days. This Frequency
is reasonable because each has a Control Room alarm function.
S 2.2.1.4 and S 2.2.1.5
A SOURCE CHECK provides a qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel
sensor is exposed to the radioactive source. This check is performed within 14 days prior to
release of effluent via the Waste Gas Holdup or ANO-1 Reactor Building Purge Systems. The
14-day restriction is reasonable because it is unlikely that the sensor will unexpectedly fail in
any 14-day period. All active pathway Gas Acti vity Process and Noble Gas Activity Monitors must undergo a SOURCE CHECK every 31 days. This Frequency is reasonable because
each has a Control Room alarm function.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 86 B 2.2 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.2.1.4 and S 2.2.1.5 (continued)
When a SOURCE CHECK can be performed, it provides verification that the sensor will
respond to an increase in radiation level. Note 1 of S 2.2.1.5 and the Note associated with
S 2.2.1.4 does not require a SOURCE CHECK when the background radiation at the sensor is
greater than the check source. This is acceptable because of the other required tests above (CHANNEL CHECK, CHANNEL TEST, and CHANNEL CALIBRATION).
S 2.2.1.7 CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument channel, including the
sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to a measured parameter within the
necessary range and accuracy. CHANNEL CALIBRATION leaves the channel adjusted to
account for instrument drift (as required) to ensure that the instrument channel remains
FUNCTIONAL between successive tests. CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall find that
measurement errors and setpoint errors are within the assumptions of the setpoint
calculations. CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS must be performed consistent with the assumptions
of the setpoint calculations. This Frequency is justified by the assumption of at least an
18 month calibration interval to determine the m agnitude of equipment drift or deviation in the setpoint calculations.
Initial CHANNEL CALIBRATION is performed using one or more of the reference standards
certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or using standards that
have been obtained from suppliers that participate in measurement assurance activities with
NIST. These standards permit calibrating the system over its intended range of energy and
measurement range. For subsequent CHANNEL CALIBRATION, sources that have been
related to the initial calibration are used.
This Surveillance is modified by a Note the ex empts the Iodine and Particulate Samplers from a CHANNEL CALIBRATION since these components do not have electronic features or
indications.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 87 B 2.3 RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENTS
BASES BACKGROUND This Limitation is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in
liquid waste effluents from the site to unrestricted areas will be less than the concentration
levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II. This limit provides additional
assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water outside the site will not
result in exposures greater than the Section II.A design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC.
LIMITATION
The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-133 is the
controlling radioisotope and its maximum permissible concentration (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.
Radioactive nuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases must be maintained within
the limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2 values. The various dose limitations
are conservative with regard to 10 CFR 20 requirements in order to provide a margin of safety
through the use of "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA) practices.
Necessary portions of the LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM shall be used to
reduce the radioactive materials in liquid waste prior to discharge when it is projected that the
cumulative dose during a calendar quarter due to liquid effluent releases would exceed
0.18 mrem to the total body or 0.625 mrem to any organ. The provisions of this Limitation do not apply to the laundry tanks due to their incompatibility with the radwaste system.
The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the LIQUID RADWASTE
TREATMENT SYSTEM are a suitable fraction of the guide set forth in Section II.A of
10 CFR 50, Appendix I, for liquid effluents. The values of 0.18 mrem and 0.625 mrem are
approximately 25% of the yearly design objec tives on a quarterly basis. The yearly design objectives are provided in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, Section II.
APPLICABILITY
The Limitations are required to be met at all times.
ACTIONS Because more than one Limitation or Surveillance requirement may not be met at a given time, the ACTIONS are modified by a Note that permits separate Condition entry for each Limitation
and/or Surveillance requirement that is not met.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 88 B 2.3 ACTIONS (continued)
A.1 and A.2 If any Limitation L 2.3.1.a through L 2.3.1.e is not met, action must be initiated immediately to
restore the parameter within limits. This could require a reduction in offsite releases scheduled
for the near future or further processing of effluents prior to release. In any event, a condition
report must be initiated to determine whether additional actions are necessary to permit
continued operations involving radioactive liquid effluent releases given the current
circumstances. In addition, corrective action must be issued to identify and track the Limitation
that was exceeded for inclusion in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. However, the condition need not be reported in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report if
reported otherwise (i.e., in accordance with reporting requirements of 10 CFR 20, 10 CFR
50.72, 10 CFR 50.73, or 40 CFR 190).
B.1 and B.2 If the sampling and/or analysis requirements of S 2.3.1.1 are not met, the release must be
terminated. This action prevents or minimizes the potential for an unmonitored offsite
radioactive liquid release. Such release may commence or be re-initiated once the sampling
and analysis requirements of S 2.3.1.1 are met. Regardless, a condition report must be
initiated to determine whether additional actions are necessary to permit continued operations
involving radioactive liquid effluent releases given the current circumstances. If a condition
report has already been initiated relevant to this Condition, then this assessment may be
performed in conjunction with that condition report; a second condition report is not required.
C.1 and C.2 This ACTION is modified a Note, limiting its applicability to only a CONTINUOUS RELEASE of
secondary coolant.
With elevated dose equivalent I-131 (DEI) activity in the secondary coolant, it is prudent to
modify the frequencies for obtaining and analyzing grab samples. Therefore, with secondary
coolant DEI > 0.01 µCi/ml, sample frequency is modified from once every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to once
every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The analysis of the sample must be completed with 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of sample
acquisition. More frequent monitoring of the secondary coolant will assist in detecting further
increases in activity and provide personnel better opportunity for in developing corrective action plans, as necessary.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 89 B 2.3 ACTIONS (continued)
D.1 In accordance with 40 CFR 190, a variance must be received from the regulatory authority (NRC) if offsite dose to a member of the public will, or has exceeded, limits established in
40 CFR 190. Because Surveillance S 2.3.1.3 tracks the accumulated dose to members of the
public over specified time periods (calendar quarter or calendar year), the dose may be
projected and a determination made with regard to whether it is likely 40 CFR 190 limits will be
exceeded. If 40 CFR 190 limits are projected to be exceeded, an application for a variance
from the NRC must be submitted prior to the estimated date in which any 40 CFR 190 limit will
be exceeded. The variance will allow continued offsite liquid and gaseous releases in excess
of 40 CFR 190 limits. Note that the variance is normally expected to remain in effect until the
end of the current calendar year since 40 CFR 190 limits only apply to the calculated annual
dose to members of the public.
If application for variance cannot be made prior to exceeding any 40 CFR 190 limit, it may be
prudent to notify the NRC by phone as soon as possible of the need for a variance, providing
the expected date in which the application will be submitted. Note that the NRC may provide
verbal approval for variance in situations where time is a factor.
E.1 If the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Conditions C and/or D cannot be
met or if the sampling and/or analysis requirements denoted in Surveillances S 2.3.1.1 and/or
S 2.3.1.2 are not met, then additional measures may be necessary to ensure continued safe
operation or to reduce overall station risk. Therefore, a condition report must be initiated
immediately to assess the impact on continued effluent release operations given the
requirements that are not being met.
F.1 Surveillance S 2.3.1.5 establishes required capability of various sample analyses. A given
analysis must be capable of detecting respective radioactivity at a reasonably low threshold in order to ensure radioactive liquid releases to the public are carefully and accurately monitored.
If the stated thresholds can not be met, a condition report must be initiated and corrective
action issued to ensure the condition is included and described in the annual Radioactive
Effluent Release Report.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 90 SURVEILLANCES S 2.3.1.1 and S 2.3.1.2 All radioactive liquid effluent releases are required to be monitored. Because a BATCH RELEASE is of a known quantity and of finite duration, sampling of batch effluents must be
performed prior to release. In addition, the sample must undergo a gamma isotopic and DEI
analysis prior to the release to provide high confidence that radioactive release limits will not
be exceeded. Remaining analyses may then be completed at the designated Frequency
during or following the release.
For a BATCH RELEASE, a composite sample, one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is
proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling
employed results in a specimen which is represent ative of the liquids released, is performed.
In order to ensure a representative sample, the batch shall be thoroughly mixed before the
sample is obtained.
Unlike the BATCH RELEASE, a CONTINUOUS RELEASE must be monitored at a set
Frequency. While gross activity monitoring is available for various release paths as is
recommended by Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.21, "Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting
Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants," such monitoring does not provide
the necessary breakdown and quantification of radioactivities being discharged. Therefore, the ODCM requires grab samples and analyses of these effluents at a specified Frequency.
To be representative of the quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid
effluents, a CONTINUOUS RELEASE sample must be proportional to the rate of flow of the
effluent stream.
S 2.3.1.3 Limitation L 2.3.1 establishes limits on radioactive liquid concentrations discharged from the plant and the accumulative dose that may be received by a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC as a
result of such releases. In order to determine that these limits are met and being maintained, the results of analyses required by Surveillances S 2.3.1.1 and S 2.3.1.2 must be compared to
the Limitation requirements on a specified Frequency. Therefore, analysis results obtained
within a given 7-day period must be considered, in some cases along with previous analysis
results of all liquid release over a specified period of time (calendar quarter or calendar year),
to ensure limits are not exceeded.
S 2.3.1.4 In accordance with 40 CFR 190, a variance must be received from the regulatory authority (NRC) is offsite dose to a member of the public will, or has exceeded, limits established in
40 CFR 190. Because Surveillance S 2.3.1.3 tracks the accumulated dose to members of the
public over specified time periods (calendar quarter or calendar year), the dose may be
projected and a determination made with regard to whether it is likely 40 CFR 190 limits will be
exceeded. The 31-day Frequency is acceptable because associated ODCM limits for these
releases are significantly less than those described in 40 CFR 190 and, therefore, it is unlikely
any 40 CFR 190 limit would be exceeded in any 31-day period.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 91 B 2.3 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.3.1.5 The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a
sample that will be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that
a blank observation represents a "real" signal. This Surveillance contains a list of isotopes and
required LLD for each. Sample analysis sensitiv ity must be such that radioactivities can be detected and measured at the LLD value.
It should be recognized that the LLD is an "a Priori" (before the fact) limit representing the
capability of measurement system and not an "a Posteriori" (after the fact) limit for a particular
measurement.
For a particular measurement system (which may include radio-chemical separation):
4.66S b LLD =E
- V
- T
- 2.22
- Y
- e
-t where: LLD = lower limit of detection as defined above (as pCi per unit mass or volume)
S b = standard deviation of the background or blank sample counts = square root of either the background or the blank sample counts E = counting efficiency (as counts per transformation)
V = sample size (in units of mass or volume)
T = elapsed count time 2.22 = number of transformations per minute per picocurie Y = fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)
= radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide t = elapsed time between sample collection (or end of the sample collection period) and time of counting Typical values of E, V, Y and t should be used in the calculation.
For certain mixtures of gamma emitters, it may not be possible to measure radionuclides in
concentrations near their sensitivity limits when other nuclides are present in the sample in
much greater concentrations. Under these circumstances, it will be more appropriate to
calculate the concentration of such radionuclides using observed ratios with those
radionuclides which are measurable.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 92 B 2.3 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.3.1.5 (continued)
The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD limitation will apply are exclusively the
following radionuclides: Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144. 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 LLD
requirements not being met, the reasons shall be documented in the Radioactive Effluent
Release Report as stated in Required Action F.1 of this Limitation, or the Annual Radiological
Environmental Operating Report as stated in L 2.5.1, Required Action A.2.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 93 B 2.4 RADIOACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENTS
BASES BACKGROUND This Limitation is provided to ensure that radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents
from the site to unrestricted areas will be less than the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. This
Limitation also implements the requirements of Sections II.C, III.A, and IV.A of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I.
Figure 4-2 illustrates the maximum area boundary for radioactive release calculations. For
individuals who may at times be within the exclusion area boundary, the occupancy of the
individual will be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion
factor above that for the exclusion area boundary.
LIMITATION
Radioactive nuclides must be maintained within the limits of 10 CFR 20. The various dose
rate and dose limitations are conservative with regard to 10 CFR 20 requirements in order to
provide a margin of safety through the use of "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA)
practices.
The necessary VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEMs shall be used to reduce the
radioactive materials in gases prior to discharge when it is projected that the cumulative dose
during a calendar quarter due to gaseous effluent releases would exceed values specified in this Limitation. The specified limits governing the use of the VENTILATION EXHAUST
TREATMENT SYSTEMs are a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in
Sections II.B and II.C of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, for gaseous effluents.
APPLICABILITY
The Limitations are required to be met at all times.
ACTIONS Because more than one Limitation or Surveillance requirement may not be met at a given time, the ACTIONS are modified by a Note that permits separate Condition entry for each Limitation
and/or Surveillance requirement that is not met.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 94 B 2.4 ACTIONS (continued)
A.1 and A.2 If any Limitation L 2.4.1.a through L 2.4.1.d is not met, action must be initiated immediately to
restore the parameter within limits. This could require a reduction in offsite releases scheduled
for the near future or further processing of effluents prior to release. In any event, a condition
report must be initiated to determine whether additional actions are necessary to permit
continued operations involving radioactive gaseous effluent releases given the current
circumstances. In addition, corrective action must be issued to identify and track the Limitation
that was exceeded for inclusion in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. However, the condition need not be reported in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report if
reported otherwise (i.e., in accordance with reporting requirements of 10 CFR 20, 10 CFR
50.72, 10 CFR 50.73, or 40 CFR 190).
B.1 and B.2 If the sampling and/or analysis requirements of S 2.4.1.1 are not met, the release must be
terminated. This action prevents or minimizes the potential for an unmonitored offsite
radioactive liquid release. Such release may commence or be re-initiated once the sampling
and analysis requirements of S 2.4.1.1 are met. Regardless, a condition report must be
initiated to determine whether additional actions are necessary to permit continued operations
involving radioactive liquid effluent releases given the current circumstances. If a condition
report has already been initiated relevant to this Condition, then this assessment may be
performed in conjunction with that condition report; a second Condition Report is not required.
C.1 In accordance with 40 CFR 190, a variance must be received from the regulatory authority (NRC) if offsite dose to a member of the public will, or has exceeded, limits established in
40 CFR 190. Because Surveillance S 2.4.1.3 tracks the accumulated dose to members of the
public over specified time periods (calendar quarter or calendar year), the dose may be

from the NRC must be submitted prior to the estimated date in which any 40 CFR 190 limit will
be exceeded. The variance will allow continued offsite liquid and gaseous releases in excess
of 40 CFR 190 limits. Note that the variance is normally expected to remain in effect until the
end of the current calendar year since 40 CFR 190 limits only apply to the calculated annual
dose to members of the public.
If application for variance cannot be made prior to exceeding any 40 CFR 190 limit, it may be
prudent to notify the NRC by phone as soon as possible of the need for a variance, providing
the expected date in which the application will be submitted. Note that the NRC may provide

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 95 B 2.4 ACTIONS (continued)
D.1 If the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Condition C cannot be met or if
the sampling and/or analysis requirements denoted in Surveillances S 2.4.1.2 are not met, then additional measures may be necessary to ensure continued safe operation or to reduce
overall station risk. Therefore, a condition report must be initiated immediately to assess the
impact on continued effluent release operations given the requirements that are not being met.
E.1 Surveillance S 2.4.1.5 establishes required capability of various sample analyses. A given
analysis must be capable of detecting respective radioactivity at a reasonably low threshold in order to ensure radioactive gaseous releases to the public are carefully and accurately
monitored. If the stated thresholds can not be met, a condition report must be initiated and
corrective action issued to ensure the condition is included and described in the annual
Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
SURVEILLANCES
Continuous gaseous release paths are monitored by instrumentation denoted in Limitation
L 2.2.1. Limitation L 2.2.1 provides Required Actions and Completion Times for circumstances
when required instrumentation is out of service. Therefore, the Surveillances associated with this
Limitation (L 2.4.1) envelop only required grab, charcoal, and particulate samples necessary to
verify 10 CFR 20 limits will be met.
The Surveillance Limitations implement the requirements in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, Section III.A, that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on
models and data such that the actual exposure of a member of the public through appropriate
pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The dose calculations established in this
manual for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive noble gases in
gaseous effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in RG 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 RG 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 equations in this
manual provided for determining the air doses at and beyond the site boundary are based upon
the historical average atmospheric conditions.
The release rate limitations for iodine-131, tritium, and radionuclides in particulate form with half-
lives greater than 8 days are dependent on the ex isting radionuclide pathways to man in the areas at or beyond the site boundary. The pathway s that were examined in the development of these calculations were: 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 pr oducing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 96 B 2.4 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.4.1.1 and S 2.4.1.2 All radioactive gaseous effluent releases are required to be monitored. Because a Waste Gas
Holdup Tank or Reactor (Containment) Building Purge release is of a known (or estimated)
quantity and of finite duration, sampling of these effluents must be performed prior to release.
In addition, the sample must be analyzed for principal gamma emitters and tritium prior to the
release in order to provide high confidence that radioactive release limits will not be exceeded.
S 2.4.1.3 To meet the intent of the continuous monitoring requirement for noble gases, the noble gas
activity from each SPING operating on an activity flow path must be recorded at least once
every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The current, highest, and average activity recorded from a particular SPING
over the required grab sample period designated in other Surveillances associated with this
Limitation are used to scale the noble gas and tritium activity obtained from the associated
grab sample. The final resulting activity is used, in part, to support completion of S 2.4.1.4 and
S 2.4.1.5 below.
S 2.4.1.4 Limitation L 2.4.1 establishes limits on radioactive gases discharged from the plant and the
dose rates and accumulative dose that may be received by a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC as a
result of such releases. In order to determine that these limits are met and being maintained, the results of analyses required by Surveillances S 2.4.1.1 and S 2.4.1.2, as adjusted by
readings taken in accordance with S 2.4.1.3 as appropriate must be compared to the
Limitation requirements on a specified Frequency. Therefore, analysis results obtained within
a given 31-day period must be considered, in some cases along with previous analysis results
of all gaseous releases over a specified period of time (calendar quarter or calendar year), to
ensure limits are not exceeded.
The ratio of the sample flow rate to the sampled stream flow rate must be known for the time
period covered by each dose or dose rate calculation made in accordance with this Limitation.
S 2.4.1.5 In accordance with 40 CFR 190, a variance must be received from the regulatory authority (NRC) is offsite dose to a member of the public will, or has exceeded, limits established in
40 CFR 190. Because Surveillance S 2.4.1.3 tracks the accumulated dose to members of the
public over specified time periods (calendar quarter or calendar year), the dose may be
projected and a determination made with regard to whether it is likely 40 CFR 190 limits will be
exceeded. The 31-day Frequency is acceptable because associated ODCM limits for these
releases are significantly less than those described in 40 CFR 190 and, therefore, it is unlikely
any 40 CFR 190 limit would be exceeded in any 31-day period.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 97 B 2.4 SURVEILLANCES (continued)
S 2.4.1.6 The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a
sample that will be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that
a blank observation represents a "real" signal. This Surveillance contains a list of isotopes and
required LLD for each. Sample analysis sensitivity must be such that radioactivies can be
detected and measured at the LLD value. The Surveillance also contains the LLD for the
Noble Gas Monitors associated with Limitation 2.2.1.
For an explanation of the LLD calculation, refer to the S 2.3.1.5 Bases.
For certain radionuclides with low gamma yield or low energies, or for certain radionuclides
mixtures, it may not be possible to measure radionuclides in concentrations near the LLD.
Under these circumstances, the LLD may be increased inversely proportional to the magnitude
of the gamma yield (i.e., (1 x 10
-4/I)), where I is the photon abundance expressed as a decimal fraction), but in no case shall the LLD, as calculated in this manner for a specific radionuclide, be > 10% of the MPC value specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 1.
The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD limitation will apply are exclusively the following radionuclides: Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 for gaseous
emissions and Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141 and
Ce-144 for particulate emissions. 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 for that nuclide. When
unusual circumstances result in LLD's higher than required, the reasons shall be documented
in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 98 B 2.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
B 2.5.1 Environmental Sampling
BASES BACKGROUND The ODCM includes, in tables and figures, specific parameters of distance and direction from
the centerline of one reactor, and additional description where pertinent, for each sample
location required by the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. NUREG-0133, "Preparation of Radiological Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants," October
1978, and Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position, Revision 1, November 1979, provide guidance with regard to environmental sampling.
The approximate locations of selected sample si tes are shown on ODCM Figures 4-1, 4-1A, and 4-1B for illustrative purposes. ODCM Table 4-1 lists the approximate distances and
directions of the sample stations from the plant.
"D/Q" refers to a radiological deposition rate considering prevalent winds around the site and is
used to determine natural settling of effluents from the atmosphere.
LIMITATION
This Limitation specifies the sample locations and distances, sample analysis type and
frequency, and parameters to be sampled as part of the Radiological Environmental
Monitoring Program.
The Limitation is modified by a Note that permits other instrumentation to be used in place of, or in addition to, integrating dosimeters for measuring and recording dose rate continuously.
For the purposes of this Limitation, a thermoluminescent dosimeter may be considered to be
one phosphor and two or more phosphors in a packet considered as two or more dosimeters.
Film badges should not be used for measuring direct radiation.
APPLICABILITY
The Limitations are required to be met at all times.
ACTIONS Because more than one Limitation or Surveillance requirement may not be met at a given time, the ACTIONS are modified by a Note that permits separate Condition entry for each Limitation
and/or Surveillance requirement that is not met.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 99 B 2.5.1 ACTIONS (continued)
A.1 and A.2 Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable
due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling
equipment and other legitimate reasons. If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling
equipment malfunctions, every effort shall be made to complete corrective action before the
end of the next sampling period. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be
documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
This ACTION lists several items that would result in the intent of the Radiological
Environmental Monitoring Program not being met. In addition, this ACTION provides guidance
for conditions where radionuclides other than those listed in Table 2.5-2 could result in a
noteworthy dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC. Immediate action is required to restore
conditions needed to meet the intent of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program.
All deviations from the Limitations and Surveillances required to meet the intent of the
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program must be reported in the Annual Radiological
Environmental Operating Report. However, the condition need not be reported in the Annual
Radiological Environmental Operating Report if reported otherwise (i.e., in accordance with
reporting requirements of 10 CFR 20, 10 CFR 50.72, 10 CFR 50.73, or 40 CFR 190).
With the level of radioactivity as the result of plant effluents in an environmental sampling
medium at one or more required locations exceeding the limits of Table 2.5-2 when averaged over any calendar quarter, the condition must be reported in accordance with Required
Action A.2. The report should include an evaluation of any release conditions, environmental
factors or other aspects which caused the limits to be exceeded, and define the actions taken
to reduce radioactive effluents so that the potential annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE
PUBLIC will remain less than the calendar year limits of Limitations L 2.3.1 and L 2.4.1. When
more than one of the radionuclides in Table 2.5-2 is detected in the sampling medium, the
information shall be included in the report if:
Concentration 1 Concentration 2 etc.Reporting Level 1 +Reporting Level 2 +etc. 1.0 B.1 In addition to the requirements of Required Actions A.1 and A.2, a new location must be
identified and added to the Radiological Environm ental Monitoring Program within 30 days when required samples cannot be obtained from designated locations. Note that broad leaf samples
are only required when milk samples are unavailable, pursuant to S 2.5.1.8.
The specific locations from which samples were unavailable may then be deleted from the
monitoring program. The cause(s) of the unavailability of samples the new location(s) for
obtaining replacement samples shall be identified in next Annual Radiological Environmental
Operating Report. The report shall also include a revised Table 4-1 reflecting the new
location(s).
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 100 B 2.5.1 SURVEILLANCES
S 2.5.1.1 through S 2.5.1.8 These Surveillances ensure samples are collected and analyzed at specified frequencies of
the parameters, and from the locations, designated in Limitation L 2.5.1. The approximate
locations of selected sample sites are shown on ODCM Figures 4-1, 4-1A, and 4-1B for
illustrative purposes. ODCM Table 4-1 lists the approximate distances and directions of the
sample stations from the plant.
Note that the gross beta analysis of required particulate samplers should not be performed
within the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following particulate filter change. This is to allow for radon and thoron
daughter decay. If it is discovered that the particulate gross beta activity is more than 10 times
the yearly mean of control samples for any medium, consideration should be given to performing a gamma isotopic analysis of the individual particulate samples. Also note that
particulate samples may need to be collected more frequently than the specified 14-day
Frequency due to dust or other accumulation of matter.
Gamma isotopic analysis includes the identification and quantification of gamma-emitting
radionuclides that may be attributable to the effluents from the facility.
S 2.5.1.9 The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a
sample that will be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that
a blank observation represents a "real" signal. Table 2.5-1 contains a list of isotopes and
required LLD for each. Sample analysis sensitivity must be such that radioactivies can be
detected and measured at the LLD value.
For an explanation of the LLD calculation, refer to the S 2.3.1.5 Bases.
S 2.5.1.10 With the level of radioactivity as the result of plant effluents in an environmental sampling
medium at one or more required locations exceeding the limits of Table 2.5-2 when averaged over any calendar quarter, the condition must be reported in accordance with Required
Action A.2.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 101 B 2.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
B 2.5.2 Land Use Census
BASES BACKGROUND The surveys required by this Limitation ensure that changes in environmental conditions as they relate to radioactive effluent releases from the site are identified and accounted for in the
overall dose commitment to the public.
LIMITATION
This Limitation ensures changes in the use of unrestricted areas are identified and that
modifications are subsequently included in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring
Program. The census satisfies 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, Section IV.B.3.
Restricting the census to gardens of > 500 ft 2 provides assurance that significant exposure pathway via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the
minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed in
RG 1.109 for consumption by a child. This minimum garden size was determined assuming
- 1) that 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce
and cabbage) and, 2) a vegetation yield of 2 kg/m
- 2. The Limitation is modified by a Note that permits broad leaf vegetation sampling to be
performed at the site boundary in the directional sector having the highest D/Q in lieu of
performing a garden census. "D/Q" refers to a radiological deposition rate considering
prevalent winds around the site and is used to determine natural settling of effluents from the
atmosphere.
APPLICABILITY
The Limitations are required to be met at all times.
ACTIONS Because more than one new sample location may be identified during a given census, the
ACTIONS are modified by a Note permit separate Condition entry for each new location
identified.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 102 B 2.5.2 ACTIONS (continued)
A.1, A.2.1, and A.2.2 When new locations are discovered that indicate higher radioactivity levels than current
locations being sample pursuant to Limitation L 2.5.1 or if radioactivity levels at a new location
are projected to exceed 40 CFR 190 limits (with regard to I-131, H-3, and particulate sources),
a condition report must be immediately initiated. Initiating a condition report will ensure
reporting criteria is evaluated for the given condi tion. Regardless of any other report, the new location must be included in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
In addition to the requirements of Required Action A.1, the new location must be added to the
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program within 30 days. Following October 31 of the
year in which the census is taken, the old sample location in this same pathway may be deleted
from the Radiological Environmental Monitori ng Program. This is expected to be performed within 90 days following the October 31 limit.
SURVEILLANCES
S 2.5.2.1 through S 2.5.2.2 The land use census must be performed every 24 months and between the dates of June 1
and October 1 of the given year. The results of the census must be reported in the next
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
The Surveillance requirements are modified by a Note that prevents the use of S 2.0.2.
Therefore, the 25% Frequency extension associated with S 2.0.2 cannot be applied to the
Surveillances associated with this Limitation. This is because the Frequencies are associated
with strict performance and reporting dates which cannot be exceeded.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE ODCM Revision 20 103 B 2.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
B 2.5.3 Interlaboratory Comparison Program
BASES BACKGROUND This Limitation refers to the off-site radiochemistry laboratory. The Limitation provides
independent checks on the accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in
environmental samples.
LIMITATION
The requirement for participation in an 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.
APPLICABILITY
The Limitations are required to be met at all times.
ACTION A.1 Failure to meet the requirements of the Interlaboratory Comparison Program requires initiating
a condition report to ensure the circumstances are included in the next Annual Radiological
Environmental Operating Report.
SURVEILLANCE
S 2.5.3.1 The results of the Interlaboratory Comparison Program analyses must be reported in the next
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.

MANUAL INFORMATIONAL U SE PAGE 3 OF 20 PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM 1.0 PURPOSE The Process Control Program (PCP) requires formulas, sampling, analyses, test and determinations to be made to ensure that the processing and packing of solid radioactive
wastes based on demonstrated processing of actual or simulated wet solid wastes will be
accomplished in such a way as to assure compliance with 10 CFR Parts 20, 61 and 71, State
Regulations, burial ground requirements, and other requirements governing the disposal of
solid radioactive waste. The scope of a PCP is to assure that radioactive waste will be
handled, shipped, and disposed of in a safe manner in accordance with approved site or vendor procedures, whichever is applicable.
[GGNS UFSAR, Chapter 16B.1 / TRM - 7.6.3.8 paragraph 1] 1.1 The purpose of this document is to provide a description of the solid radioactive waste Process Control Program (PCP) at all the Entergy fleet sites. The PCP describes the
methods used for processing, classification and packaging low-level wet radioactive waste
into a form acceptable for interim on-site storage, shipping and disposal, in accordance
with 10 CFR Part 61 and current disposal site criteria. 1.2 To ensure the safe operation of the solid radw aste system, the solid radwaste system will be used in accordance with this Process Control Program to process radioactive wastes to
meet interim on-site storage, shipping and burial ground requirements. 1.3 This document addresses the process control pr ogram in the context of disposal criteria, on-site processing and vendor processing requirements. 1.4 The Process Control Program implem ents the requirements of 10CFR50.36a and General Design Criteria 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. The process parameters
included in the Process Control Program may include but are not limited to waste type, waste pH, waste/liquid/solidification agent/catalyst ratios, waste oil content, waste
principal chemical constituents, and mixing and curing times. 1.5 This document does NOT address the requirements for 10 CFR Part 61.56 (waste characteristics) for material sent to intermediate processors, because the final
treatment and packaging is performed at the vendor facilities.

5.0 DETAILS An isotopic analysis SHALL be performed on every batch for each waste stream so that the waste can be classified in accordance with 10 CFR 61. The isotopic and curie content of each shipping container SHALL be determined in accordance with 49 CFR packaging requirements.
The total activity in the container may be determined by either isotopic analysis or by dose-
rate-to-curie conversion.
5.1. Precautions and Limitations
[1] Precautions (a) Radioactive materials SHALL be handled in accordance with applicable radiation protection procedures. (b) All radioactive waste must be processed or packaged to meet the minimum requirements listed in 10 CFR Part 61.56 (a) (1) through (8). (c) If the provisions of the Process Control Program are not satisfied, suspend shipment of the defectively processed or defectively packaged waste from the site. Shipment may
be accomplished when the waste is processed / packaged in accordance with the
Process Control Program. (d) The generation of combustible gases is dependent on the waste form, radioactive concentration and accumulated dose in the waste. Changes to organic inputs (e.g. oil)
to waste stream may change biogas generation rates.
[2] Limitations (a) Only qualified personnel will characterize OR package radioactive waste OR radioactive materials for transportation or disposal. (b) All site personnel that have any invo lvement with radioactive waste management computer software SHALL be familiar with its functions, operation and maintenance. 5.2. Waste Management Practices
[1] Waste processing methods include the following: (a) Present and planned practice is NOT to solidify or encapsulate any waste streams.
QUALITY RELATED EN-RW-105 REV. 2 NUCLEAR MANAGEMENT
MANUAL INFORMATIONAL U SE PAGE 11 OF 20 PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM 5.2 continued (b) Waste being shipped directly for burial in a HIC (High Integrity Container) is dewatered to less than 1 percent by volume prior to shipment. (c) Waste being shipped directly for burial in a container other than a HIC is dewatered to less than 0.5 percent by volume prior to shipment. (d) IF solidification is required in the future, THEN at least one representative test specimen from at least every 10th batch of each type of radioactive waste will be checked to verify
solidification.
(1) IF any specimen fails to verify solidification, THEN the solidification of the batch under test SHALL be suspended until such time as additional test specimens
can be obtained, alternative solidification parameters can be determined, and a
subsequent test verifies solidification. If alternative parameters are determined, the subsequent tests shall be verified using the alternative parameters
determined.
(2) IF the initial test specimen from a batch of waste fails to verify solidification, THEN provide for the collection and testing of representative test specimens from each consecutive batch of the same type of waste until at least
3 consecutive initial test specimens demonstrates solidification. The process
SHALL be modified as required to assure solidification of subsequent batches of
waste. [2] Operation and maintenance of dewatering systems and equipment include the following: (a) Present and planned practice is to utilize plant personnel supplemented by vendor personnel or contracted vendor personnel, to operate AND maintain dewatering systems and equipment (as needed to meet disposal site requirements). (b) All disposal liners are manufactured by and purchased from QA-approved vendors. [3] ALARA considerations are addressed in all phases of the processes involving handling, packaging AND transfer of any type OR form of radioactive waste (dewatered or dry). Resin, charcoal media, spent filter cartridges AND sludges are typically processed within shields.
Sluiceable demineralizers are shielded when in service. Radiation exposure and other health physics requirements are controlled by the iss uance of a Radiation Work Permit (RWP) for each task.

MANUAL INFORMATIONAL U SE PAGE 12 OF 20 PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM 5.3. Waste Stream Sampling Methods and Frequency
[1] The following general requirements apply to Plant waste stream sampling: (a) Treat each waste stream separately for classification purposes.
(b) Ensure samples are representative of or can be correlated to the final waste form.
(c) Determine the density for each new waste stream initially or as needed (not applicable for DAW and filters). (d) Perform an in-house analysis for gamma-e mitting radionuclides for each sample sent to an independent laboratory. (e) Periodically perform in-house analysis for gamma emitting radionuclides for comparison to the current data base values for gamma emitters. (The current
database is usually based on the most recent independent laboratory results.) (f) Resolve any discrepancies between in-house results AND the independent laboratory results for the same or replicate sample as soon as possible. (g) Maintain records of on-site and off-site waste stream sample analysis and evaluations.
[2] When required, waste stream samples should be analyzed, re-evaluated and if necessary, shipped to a vendor laboratory for additional analysis. The same is true when there is a reason to believe that an equipment or process change has significantly altered the previously determined scaling factors by a factor of 10.
Specific examples include but are not limited to:
Changes in oxidation reduction methods such as zinc, injection, hydrogen water chemistry, Changes in purification methods including media specialization, media distribution, ion/cation ratios, Changes in fuel performance criteria including fuel leaks Other changes in reactor coolant chemistry. Sustained, unexplained, changes in the routinely monitored Beta/Alpha ratios, as determined by Radiation Protection, When there is an extended reactor shutdown (> 90 days). When there are changes to liquid waste processing, such as bypassing filters, utilizing filters or a change in ion exchange media. When there are changes to the waste stream that could change the biogas generation rate.

[3] The following requirements apply to infrequent or abnormal waste types: (a) Infrequent OR abnormal waste types that may be generated must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. (b) The RP Department Supervisor / Specialist responsible for processing AND shipping will determine if the waste can be correlated to an existing waste stream. (c) IF the radioactive waste cannot be correlated to an existing waste stream, THEN the RP Department Supervisor / Specialist responsible for processing and shipping SHALL
determine specific off-site sampling and analysis requirements necessary to properly
classify the material. [4] Specific sampling methods and data evaluation criteria are detailed in EN-RW-104 for specific waste streams. 5.4. Waste Classification
[1] General requirements for scaling factors include the following: (a) The Plant has established an inferential m easurement program whereby concentrations of radionuclides which cannot be readily measured are estimated through ratio-ing with
radionuclides which can be readily measured. (b) Scaling factor relationships are developed on a waste stream-specific basis. These relationships are periodically revised to reflect current independent lab data from direct
measurement of samples. The scaling factor re lationships currently used by the sites are as follows: Hard to detect ACTIVATION product radionuclides and C-14 are estimated by using scaling factors with measured Co-60 activities. Hard to detect FISSION product radionuclides and H-3, Tc-99 and I-129 are estimated by using scaling factors with measured Cs-137 activities. Hard to detect TRANSURANIC radionuclides are estimated by using scaling factors with measured Ce-144 activities. Where Ce-144 cannot be readily
measured, transuranics are estimated by using scaling factors with measured
Cs-137 activities. Second order scaling of transuranics is acceptable when
Cs-137 and Ce-144 are not readily measurable.

[2] General requirements for the determination of total activity and radionuclide concentrations include the following: (a) The activity for the waste streams is estimated by using either Gross Radioactivity Measurement OR Direct Measurement of Radionuclides. Current specific practices are as follows: DAW - Gross radioactivity measurement in conjunction with the RADMAN computer codes, other approved computer codes or hand calculation. Filters - Gross radioactivity measurement in conjunction with the FILTRK computer code, other approved computer codes or hand calculation. All Other Waste Streams - Direct measurement of radionuclides in conjunction with the RADMAN computer codes, other approv ed computer codes or hand calculation. (b) Determination of the NRC waste classification is performed by comparing the measured or calculated concentrations of significant radionuclides in the final waste form to those
listed in 10 CFR Part 61.55. 5.5. Quality Control
[1] The RADMAN computer code provides a mechanism to assist the Plant in conducting a quality control program in accordance with the waste classification requirements listed in 10 CFR
Part 61.55. All waste stream sample data changes are written to a computer data file for
future review and reference. [2] Audits and Management Review includes the following: (a) Appendix G to 10CFR20 requires conduct of a QC program which must include management review of audits. (b) Management audits of the Plant Sampling and Classification Program SHALL be periodically performed to verify the adequacy of maintenance sampling and analysis. (c) Audits and assessments are performed and documented by any of the following: Radiation Protection Department Quality Assurance Department Qualified Vendors (d) Certain elements of the Entergy Quality Assurance Program Manual are applied to the Process Control Program.
