Dear Sir or Madam:
The referenced Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) Technical Specifications (TSs) require the submittal of an annual radiological environmental operating report for the previous year by May 15 of each year. Attached is the subject ANO report for the calendar year 2008.
This report fulfills the reporting requirements of TSs referenced above.
The radionuclides detected by the radiological environmental monitoring program during 2008 were significantly below the regulatory limits. The operation of the ANO station during 2008 had no harmful effects nor resulted in any irreversible damage to the local environment.
Based on Entergys review, no environmental samples from the monitoring program equated or exceeded the reporting levels for radioactivity concentration due to ANO effluents when averaged over any calendar quarter. Therefore the 2008 results did not require any Radiological Monitoring Program Special Reports.
This letter contains no new commitments.

Attachment to 0CAN050901 Page 6 of 53 Summary The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) presents data obtained through analyses of environmental samples collected for Arkansas Nuclear One's (ANOs)
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for the period January 1, through December 31, 2008. This report fulfills the requirements of ANO Unit 1 Technical Specification 5.6.2 and Unit 2 Technical Specification 6.6.2.
During 2008 as in previous years, Entergy detected radionuclides attributable to plant operations at the discharge location (Station 8) where previously monitored liquid radioactive effluent from the plant is periodically discharged in accordance with the regulatory criteria established in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). ANO personnel routinely monitor results from this area in order to note any trends. The review of results from this area indicates the following:
- Tritium levels in the surface water media continue to be below regulatory reporting limits and are consistent with concentrations that would typically be seen at this location as discussed in Section 2.3 of this AREOR
- Cesium-137 levels in the sediment media are not demonstrating any consistent increase in comparison to previous years. Review indicates that results for 2008 were within the range of previous operational levels as discussed in Section 2.4 of this AREOR.
- Gross beta concentrations at the Station 14 (City of Russellville) indicator drinking water location continue to remain consistent with previous operational measurements and similar to the levels detected at the Station 57 (City of Danville) control drinking water location.
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Entergy established the REMP prior to the station becoming operational (1974) to provide data on background radiation and radioactivity normally present in the area. Entergy has continued to monitor the environment by sampling air, water, sediment, fish and food products, as well as measuring radiation directly. Entergy also samples milk if milk-producing animals are present commercially within five miles of the plant.
The REMP includes sampling indicator and control locations within an approximately 20-mile radius of the plant. The REMP utilizes indicator locations near the site to show any increases or buildup of radioactivity that might occur due to station operation, and control locations farther away from the site to indicate the presence of only naturally occurring radioactivity. ANO personnel compare indicator results with control and pre-operational results to assess any impact ANO operation might have had on the surrounding environment.
Attachment to 0CAN050901 Page 7 of 53 In 2008, ANO personnel collected environmental samples for radiological analysis. They compared results of indicator locations with control locations and previous studies and concluded that overall no significant relationship exists between ANO operation and effect on the plant environs. The review of 2008 data, in many cases, showed undetectable radiation levels in the environment and in all instances, no definable trends related to significant pathways associated with ANO.
Harmful Effects or Irreversible Damage The REMP monitoring did not detect any harmful effects or evidence of irreversible damage in 2008. Therefore, no analysis or planned course of action to alleviate problems was necessary.
Reporting Levels Entergy's review indicates that no samples equaled or exceeded reporting levels for radioactivity concentration in environmental samples due to ANO effluents, as outlined in Units 1 and 2 ODCM Table 2.6-3, when averaged over any calendar quarter. Therefore, 2008 results did not trigger any Radiological Monitoring Program Special Reports.
Radioactivity Not Attributable to ANO The ANO REMP has detected radioactivity attributable to other sources. These include the 25th Chinese nuclear test explosion in 1980 and the radioactivity plume release due to reactor core degradation at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. Prior to 1981, the ANO REMP detected radioactivity resulting from nuclear weapons testing, with Cesium-137 continuing to be periodically detected.
Comparison to Federal and State Programs ANO personnel compared REMP data to state monitoring programs as results became available. Historically, the programs used for comparison have included the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Thermoluminescent Dosimeter Direct Radiation Monitoring Network and the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH).
The NRC Thermoluminescent Dosimeter Network Program was discontinued in 1998.
Historically these results have compared to those from the ANO REMP. ANO Thermoluminescent Dosimeter results continue to remain similar to the historical average and continue to verify that plant operation is not affecting the ambient radiation levels in the environment.
The ADH and the ANO REMP entail similar radiological environmental monitoring program requirements. These programs include collecting air samples and splitting or sharing sample media such as water, sediment and fish. Both programs have obtained similar results over previous years.
Attachment to 0CAN050901 Page 8 of 53 Sample Deviations Milk The REMP did not include milk sampling within five miles (8 km) of ANO in 2008 due to unavailability. ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM require collection of milk samples if available commercially within 8 km (5 miles) of the plant. ANO personnel collected vegetation samples to monitor the ingestion pathway, as specified in the ODCM, because of milk unavailability.
Required Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) Values LLDs during this reporting period were within the acceptable limits required by Table 2.6-2 of the ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM.
Air Samples Listed below are air sampler deviations that occurred during 2008 due to hazardous weather conditions, electrical power outages and equipment failure. These deviations did not result in the exceedance of the LLD values specified in the ODCM. As described in footnote (a) to ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM Table 2.6-1, deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule due to malfunction of sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons.
Station Sampling Period Comment ALL 02/19/08 - 03/04/08 Due to hazardous weather conditions the bi-weekly air sample stations were not collected as scheduled. The air samples were collected the following day (03/05/08).

Attachment to 0CAN050901 Page 10 of 53 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Entergy established the REMP to ensure that plant operating controls properly function to minimize any associated radiation endangerment to human health or the environment. The REMP is designed for:
- Analyzing applicable pathways for anticipated types and quantities of radionuclides released into the environment.
- Considering the possibility of a buildup of long-lived radionuclides in the environment and identifying physical and biological accumulations that may contribute to human exposures.
- Considering the potential radiation exposure to plant and animal life in the environment surrounding ANO.
- Correlating levels of radiation and radioactivity in the environment with radioactive releases from station operation.
1.2 Pathways Monitored The airborne, direct radiation, waterborne and ingestion pathways are monitored as required by the ANO ODCM. A description of the ANO REMP utilized to monitor the exposure pathways is described in Table 1.1 and shown in Figures 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3.
Section 2.0 of this report provides a discussion of 2008 sampling results and Section 3.0 provides a summary of results for the monitored exposure pathways.
Attachment to 0CAN050901 Page 11 of 53 1.3 Land Use Census ANO personnel conducts land use census biannually (once every two years) as required by ANO Units 1 and Unit 2 ODCM Section 2.6.2. The latest land use census was conducted in 2007. The purpose of this census is to identify changes in uses of land within five miles of ANO that would require modifications to the REMP or ODCM. The most important criteria during this census are to determine location in each sector of the nearest:
- 1) Residence
- 2) Animal milked for human consumption
- 3) Garden of greater than 500 square feet producing fresh leafy (broadleaf) vegetables *
- ANO personnel do not perform a garden census since ODCM Section 2.6.2 allows the routine sampling of broadleaf vegetation in the highest D/Q sector near the site boundary in lieu of the garden census.
The method used by ANO personnel for conducting the land use census is as follows:
- ANO personnel conducted door-to-door (drive by) field surveys in order to locate the nearest resident in each meteorological sector.
- Consultation with local agricultural authorities is used for the identification of commercial milk providers within five-miles of the Unit-1 reactor building.
- As a result of these surveys, the following information is obtained in each meteorological sector:
- 1) Nearest permanent residence
- 2) Nearest milking animal
- ANO personnel identify locations on the map, measure distances to ANO (or use a global positioning system) and record results.
- Locations, if any, are identified which yield a calculated dose or dose commitments greater than those currently calculated in the ODCM.
- ANO personnel compare results to previous census.

Attachment to 0CAN050901 Page 21 of 55 2.0 Interpretation and Trends of Results 2.1 Air Particulate and Radioiodine Sample Results The REMP has detected radioactivity in the airborne pathway attributable to other sources.
These include the 25th Chinese nuclear test explosion in 1980 and the radioactive plume release due to reactor core degradation at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986.
During 2008, Iodine-131 was not detected in the radioiodine cartridges, as has been the case in previous years. In addition, indicator gross beta air particulate results for 2008 were within the range of levels obtained in previous years of the operational REMP and well below preoperational levels as seen below. Results are reported as annual average pCi/m3.
Monitoring Period Result 2000 - 2007 (Minimum Value) 0.020 2008 Value 0.032 2000 - 2007 (Maximum Value) 0.030 Preoperational 0.050 In the absence of plant-related gamma radionuclides, gross beta activity is attributed to naturally occurring radionuclides. Table 3.1, which includes gross beta concentrations and provides a comparison of the indicator and control means and ranges, emphasizes the consistent trends seen in this pathway to support the presence of naturally occurring activity.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the airborne pathway continues to be unaffected by ANO operations.
2.2 Thermoluminescent Dosimetry (TLD) Sample Results Entergy reports measured dose as net exposure (field reading less transit reading) normalized to 92 days and relies on comparison of the indicator locations to the control as a measure of plant impact. Entergys comparison of the inner ring and special interest area TLD results to the control, as seen in Table 3.1, identified no noticeable trend that would indicate that the ambient radiation levels are being affected by plant operations. In addition, the inner ring value of 7.51 mrem shown in Table 3.1 is within the historical bounds of 2000
- 2006 annual average results, which have ranged from 6.7 to 8.8 mrem.
Gamma radiation dose in the reporting period was further compared to historical control location readings for previous years as shown in Figure 2-1. Entergys comparison of the results to the control indicates that the ambient radiation levels are unaffected by plant operations. Although the third quarter readings for TLD Stations 1, 2, 56, 108, 109, and 151 shown in Figure 2-1 was above the upper (+) three standard deviation range value of 9.7 mrem for the historical maximum control location, Entergy considers the difference to be insignificant since the dose rates remain well below the limitations of 10 CFR 20.1301(a)(1) and 10CFR 20.1302(b)(2)(ii), and since there has been no identifiable trends associated with these stations. In addition, Entergy utilized a different vendor for TLD processing in 2008. Therefore, these increases can also be attributed to differences in dosimeter processing.
Attachment to 0CAN050901 Page 22 of 55 Overall, Entergy concluded that the ambient radiation levels are not being affected by plant operations.
2.3 Water Sample Results Analytical results for 2008 surface water and drinking water samples were similar to those reported in previous years.
Surface water samples were collected and analyzed for gamma radionuclides and tritium.
Gamma radionuclides were below detectable limits which is consistent with results seen in previous operational years. Tritium continues to be detected at the indicator location (Station 8) where previously monitored radioactive effluent from the plant is periodically discharged in accordance with the regulatory criteria established in the ODCM. However, the levels detected are consistent with concentrations that would typically be seen at this location as shown below. Results are reported as annual average pCi/l.
Monitoring Period Concentration 2000 - 2007 (Minimum Value) 272.0 2008 Value 1023.3 2000 - 2007 (Maximum Value) 876.3 Preoperational Value 200.0 ANO personnel have noted no definable increasing trends associated with the tritium levels at the discharge location. Levels detected during 2008 and previous operational years have been well below regulatory reporting limits. Therefore, the operation of ANO had no definable impact on this waterborne pathway during 2008 and levels of radionuclides remain similar to those obtained in previous operational years.
Drinking water samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control). Although ANO personnel utilize Station 14 (City of Russellville) as an indicator location due to the potential for the drinking water pathway to exist, the City of Russellville has not withdrawn water from Lake Dardanelle in the past several years.
Drinking water samples were analyzed for gross beta radionuclides, Iodine-131, gamma radionuclides and tritium. Gamma radionuclides, Iodine-131 and tritium concentrations were below the LLD limits at the indicator and control locations, which is consistent with preoperational and operational years. Gross beta concentrations at the indicator and control locations are similar as shown in Table 3.1. Listed below is a comparison of 2008 indicator results to preoperational and operational years. Results are reported as annual average pCi/l.

Therefore, the operation of ANO had no definable impact on this waterborne pathway during 2008 and levels of radionuclides remain similar to those obtained in previous operational years.
Groundwater samples were collected from four locations (1 - control, and 3 - indicator locations).
Groundwater samples were analyzed for Tritium and Gamma radionuclides. Tritium and Gamma concentrations were below the LLD limits at the indicator and control locations.
Listed below is a comparison of 2008 indicator results to past operational years. Results are reported as annual average pCi/l. Groundwater data is captured in Tables 8.1 and 8.2.

As in previous years, Cesium-137 attributable to ANO was detected in the discharge sediment indicator location (Station 8) where previously monitored liquid radioactive effluent from the plant is periodically discharged in accordance with the regulatory criteria established in the ODCM. Although it is anticipated that radionuclides would be detected at this location since sediment particles provide a natural binding mechanism, ANO personnel have noted no definable consistent trends associated with this radionuclide at the discharge location. Cesium-137 results for 2008 were actually below the minimum range of previous operational levels as seen below. Results are reported as annual average pCi/kg.
Attachment to 0CAN050901 Page 24 of 55 Monitoring Period Concentration 2000 - 2007 (Minimum Value) 97.78 2008 Value 41.79 2000 - 2007 (Maximum Value) 1170.0 Since reporting levels for radionuclides in sediment have not been established, an evaluation of potential dose to the public from this media was performed as shown in . The annual maximum dose from Cesium-137 to the skin and total body was calculated to be < 0.01 mrem.
Design objectives given in 10CFR50, Appendix I for liquid effluents are annual doses of 3 mrem total body and 10 mrem any organ. The values of < 0.01 mrem for the skin and total body are well within the design objective criteria. Therefore, the level of Cesium-137 detected in 2008 had no significant impact on the environment or public by this waterborne pathway.
2.5 Milk Sample Results Milk samples were not collected during 2008 due to the unavailability of indicator locations within five-miles of ANO.
2.6 Fish Sample Results Fish samples were collected from two locations and analyzed for gamma radionuclides. In 2007, gamma radionuclides were below detectable limits which are consistent with the preoperational monitoring period and operational results since 1997. Therefore, based on these measurements, ANO operations had no significant radiological impact upon the environment or public by this ingestion pathway.
2.7 Food Product Sample Results The REMP has detected radionuclides prior to 1990 that are attributable to other sources.
These include the radioactive plume release due to reactor core degradation at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986 and atmospheric weapons testing.
In 2008, food product samples were collected when available from two locations and analyzed for Iodine-131 and gamma radionuclides. The 2008 levels remained undetectable, as has been the case in previous years. Therefore, based on these measurements, ANO operations had no significant radiological impact upon the environment or public by this ingestion pathway.
Attachment to 0CAN050901 Page 25 of 55 2.8 Land Use Census Results The latest land use census (performed in 2007) did not identify any new locations that yielded a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than those currently calculated. (see Table 2.1)
Also, the land use census identified no milk-producing animals within a five-mile radius of the plant site. ANO personnel chose not to perform a garden census in 2007, which is allowed by ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM Section 2.6.2, in lieu of broadleaf vegetation sampling in the meteorological sector (Sector 13) with the highest D/Q.
2.9 Interlaboratory Comparison Results RBSs Environmental Laboratory analyzed interlaboratory comparison samples for ANO to fulfill the requirements of ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM Section 2.6.3. Attachment 2 contains these results. Entergys review of RBSs interlaboratory comparison indicated that 100% of the sample results (40 of 40) were within the acceptable control limits of the three normalized deviations.

(a) The known value as determined by Analytics.
(b) The normalized deviation from the "known" value is computed from the deviation and the standard error of the mean; +/-2.00 is the warning limit and +/-3.00 is the control limit. This is a measure of accuracy of the analytical methods.
(c) The normalized range is computed from the mean range, the control limit, and the standard error of the range; +2.000 is the warning limit and +3.000 is the control limit.
This is a measure of precision of the analytical methods.
(d) Results reported were outside Control Limits.
