PLUTONIUM RECYCLE TEST REACTOR FINAL SAFEGUARDS ANALYSIS SUPPLEMENT 3 EFFLUENT ACTIVITY LIMITS

摘要

Refined effluent activity limits have been determined for the PRTR. For both the aqueous and gaseous effluents, two limits on the concentration of radionuclides in the effluent stream are established. The upper limit is a concentration which could potentially result in undesirable contamina-tion of the environs unless the release from the PRTR containment vessel is stopped in a few minutes. At this concentration, automatic reactor scram and containment will be executed. The lower limit is a concentra¬tion which could result in water or air contamination approaching the MPC in the environs of the PRTR, and at this concentration the reactor will be shut down with the normal procedures.
