Re: PWR releases

     All reactors have a series of books called the Final Safety Analysis 
     Report or the Updated Safety Analysis Report (there are normally 12 - 
     14 books).  These books contain a wealth of information on the reactor 
     of interest.  I believe it is chapter 12 which deals with the 
     potential accident scenarios for that type of reactor. In here you 
     will find a "typical" coolant inventory, typical waste tank 
     inventories, typical waste streams, etc.
     
     If you live near a plant or near the headquarters of a utility which 
     owns the plant, you may be able to get a copy of the tables you want.  
     You may also try the public library as these reports are sometimes 
     located there.

Where can I find information on likely releases
from a 10 MW PWR reactor circa 1960.  I found a list in 
the Rad Health Handbook on page 429 for a 1000 MW PWR 
for coolant inventory.  I have very limited experience 
with reactors - is this list typical?.  I am looking 
for potential radionuclides in discharge water from
the hot waste tank, outer vapor container and process 
laundry facility.  
     
I am also trying to determine which release standards 
would have been in affect during the 1960's.  Would they 
have been the old MCLs from 10CFR20 ???
     
Any information would be appreciated!
