Supplemental Report:

This supplemental corrective update to the year 2005 Vermont Yankee Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) is presented to provide a revised format in Table 3 of the original ARERR so as to be consistent with previous submittals of this annual report. These inconsistencies were discovered during a recent audit of this report Radiological Environmental Operating Program (REMP).

Specifically, Table 3, Solid Waste and Irradiated Fuel Shipments, was found to be inconsistently formatted with previous years' submittals. In both Section A and Section B of Table 3, an additional sub-table was provided which summarized shipments from Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station to its waste processors. This additional information inappropriately over-reported the total curie content and volume of waste shipments from Vermont Yankee. Previous years had presented data for shipments from Vermont Yankee to the burial sites and from Vermont Yankee's waste processors to the burial sites. The additional information presented in Table 3 for 2005 effectively counted the radioactive material twice, once when it left Vermont Yankee for shipment to the waste processors and the second time when the same radioactive material, in a reduced volume, was shipped from our waste processors to the burial locations. The attached, revised Table 3 corrects this reporting error.
