The Harris Nuclear Power Plant (HNP) achieved initial criticality on January 3, 1987. This Report covers the period from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2008. During this period, the plant operated in Cycle 15.

Discussion I1. Protection Standards The main objective in the control of radiation is to ensure that any exposure is kept not only within regulatory limits, but As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA). The ALARA concept applies to reducing radiation exposure both to workers at Harris Nuclear Plant and to the general public. "Reasonably Achievable" means that radiation exposure reduction is based on sound environmental practices, economic decisions, and operating practices. By practicing ALARA, Harris Nuclear Plant and Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. minimize health risk, environmental detriment, and ensure that exposures are maintained well below regulatory limits.

2. Sources of Radioactivity Released During normal operations of a nuclear power station, most of the fission products are retained within the fuel and fuel cladding. However, small quantities of radioactive fission and activation products are present in the primary coolant water. The types of radioactive material released are noble gases, iodines.:and particulates, and tritium.

The noble gas fission products in the primary coolant are collected by a system designed for collection and storage for radioactive decay prior to release.

Small releases of radioactivity in liquids may occur from equipment associated with the primary coolant system. These liquids are collected and processed for radioactivity removal prior to release.

3. Noble Gas Some of the fission products released in airborne effluents are radioactive isotopes of noble gases, such as krypton and xenon. Noble gases are by nature inert and do not concentrate in humans or other organisms; therefore internal exposure is negligible. Their contribution to human radiation exposure is as an external exposure. Xenon-133 and Xenon-135, with half-lives of approximately 5 days and 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> respectively, are the major isotopes released. Half-life is defined as the time required for a radioactive isotope to lose 50 percent of its radioactivity by decay. Noble gases are readily dispersed in the atmosphere.
4. lodines and Particulates Annual releases of iodines, and those particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days are small. Factors such as chemical reactivity and solubility in water, combined with high processing efficiencies, minimize their discharge. The main contribution of radioactive iodine to human exposure is to the thyroid gland, where the body concentrates iodine. The principal radioactive particulates are Cobalt-58 and Cobalt-60 which contribute to internal exposure of tissues such as the muscle, liver, and intestines. These particulates can also be a source of exposure if deposited on the ground.
5. Tritium Tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, is the predominant radionuclide in liquid and gaseous effluents.

Tritium is produced in the reactor coolant as a result of neutron interaction with deuterium (also a hydrogen isotope) and boron, both of which are present in the primary coolant. Tritium contributes very little radiation exposure to the human body, and when it is inhaled or ingested, is dispersed throughout the body until eliminated.

6. Processing and Monitoring Effluents are strictly controlled and monitored to ensure that radioactivity released to the environment is minimal and within regulatory limits. Effluent control includes the operation of radiation monitoring systems, in-plant and environmental sampling and analyses, quality assurance programs for both in-plant and environmental sampling and analyses, and procedures that address effluent and environmental monitoring.

The plant radiation monitoring system has monitors that are designed to ensure that releases are-below regulatory limits. Each instrument provides indication of the amount of radioactivity present and is equipped with alarms and indicators in the control room. The alarm setpoints are set lower than the ODCM Operational Requirements to ensure the limits are not exceeded. If a monitor alarms, a release from a tank is automatically suspended. Additionally, batch releases are sampled and analyzed in the laboratory prior to discharge. The sampling and analysis done in the laboratory provides a more sensitive and precise method of determining effluent composition than in-plant monitoring instruments.

The plant has a meteorological tower, which is linked to computers that record the meteorological data.

The meteorological data and the release data can be used to assess the dose to the public. The doses reported in this report use twelve-year average(1976 through 1987) data from the onsite meteorological program.

In addition to in-plant equipment the company maintains a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, which consists of devices used to constantly sample the air and water in the environment. The samples collected from the surrounding environment are analyzed to determine any presence of radioactive material in the environment.

7. Exposure Pathways Radiological exposure pathways are the methods by which people may become exposed to radioactive material. The major pathways of concern are those that could cause the highest calculated radiation dose.

The projected pathways are determined from the type and amount of radioactive material that may have been released, the environmental transport mechanism, and the use of the environment. Environmental transport mechanisms include, but are not limited to, local hydrology (water) and meteorology (weather).

The release of radioactive gaseous effluents can impact the public via pathways such as external whole body exposure, deposition on plants and soils, and human inhalation. The release of radioactive material in liquid effluents can impact the public via pathways such as drinking water, fish consumption, and direct exposure from the lake at the shoreline and submersion dose while swimming.

Even though radionuclides can reach humans by many different pathways, some radionuclides result in more exposure than others. The critical pathway is the exposure that will provide, for a specific radionuclide, the greatest exposure to a population, or a specific group of the population, called the critical group. The critical group may vary depending on the radionuclides involved, the age and diet of the group, and other cultural factors. The exposure may be received to the whole body or to a specific organ, with the organ receiving the largest fraction of the exposure called the critical organ.

8. Results The quantities of radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents and solid waste are reported using the format per Regulatory Guide 1.21 (Rev. 1) Appendix B.

The Radioactive Effluent Release Report is a detailed listing of the radioactivity released from. the Harris Nuclear Plant during the period from January 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008. The assessment of annual radiation doses to members of the public from radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents from the plant are estimated using the methodology in the ODCM.

During the period of January 1, 2008, through December 3 1 2008, the estimated maximum individual offsite dose due to radioactivity released in effluents was:

Liquid Effluents: Limit 7.63 E-03 mrem, Total Body 3.0 E+00 mrem 1.15 E-02 mrem, Max Organ (GI-LLI) 1.0 E+01 mrem Gaseous Effluents: Limit Noble Gases 6.13 E-05 mrad, Beta 2.0 E+01 mrad 2.63 E-05 mrad, Gamma 1.0 E+01 mrad Tritium, Radioiodine 131, 133, and Particulates with greater than an 8 Day Half Life:

3.51 E-01 mrem, Critical Organ (Lung) 1.5 E+01 mrem(*)

(*) Limit applies to Tritium, Radioiodines, and Particulates with greater than an 8-Day Half Life:

These doses are in addition to what is received from natural background in the area surrounding the Harris Nuclear Plant (approximately 300 mrem per year).

II. Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity A. Continuous Gaseous Releases

1. Fission and activationgases The total activity released is determined from the net activity of gaseous monitors times the total stack flow. The activity of each radionuclide is determined by the fraction of that radioactive gas in the isotopic analysis for that sampling period (typically weekly).

If no activity is detected for the sampling period, the mix is based on historical data.

2. lodines The activity released as iodine-131, 133, and 135 is based on isotopic analysis of the charcoal cartridge plus the particulate filter times the total vent flow for each sample period (typically weekly).
3. Particulates The activity released as particulates with half-lives greater than eight days is determined by isotopic analysis of particulate filters times the total vent flow for each sample period.

The sample period is at a minimum weekly or more frequently if plant conditions require.

4. Tritium The activity released as tritium is based on grab sample analysis using liquid scintillation times total stack flow. Grab sampling is typically performed weekly.

B. Batch Gaseous Releases

1. Fission and activation gases The activity released is based on the volume released times the activity of the individual nuclides obtained from an isotopic analysis of the grab sample taken prior to the release.
2. lodines The iodine activity released from Waste Gas Decay Tank (WGDT) batch releases is included in the iodine determination from the continuous releases.
3. Particulates The particulate activity released from Waste Gas Decay Tank (WGDT) batch- releases is included in the particulate determination from the continuous releases.
4. Tritium The activity released as tritium is based on the grab sample analysis using liquid scintillation of each batch times the batch volume.

C. Liquid Releases

1. Fission and Activation Products The total activity released (excluding tritium, strontium, iron-55, alpha, and nickel-63) is comprised of the sum of the products of the individual radionuclide concentrations in each batch (identified using gamma spectroscopy) times the volume of the batch.

Appendix 1: Supplemental Information (Continued)

II. Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity C. Liquid Releases

2. Alpha and Tritium The alpha activity released is the monthly composite alpha concentration times the volume released for the month.

The tritium activity released is the concentration of tritium in each batch release times the volume of the batch release.

The tritium activity released through the continuous pathways (turbine building drains and secondary waste) is the concentration from monthly composite samples (corrected for makeup water concentrations) times the volume released for the month. Makeup water is from the lake and has detectable tritium.

3. Strontium-89, 90, Iron-55, and Nickel-63 Analyses are performed on quarterly composite samples times the volume released during the quarter to calculate the activity released.

D. Estimated Total Errors

1. Estimated total errors for gaseous effluents are based on uncertainties in counting equipment calibration, counting statistics, vent flow rates, vent sample flow rates, chemical yield factors, and sample losses for such items as charcoal cartridges.
2. Estimated total errors for liquid effluents are based on uncertainties in counting equipment calibration, counting statistics, sampling, and volume determinations.

Abnormal Releases

a. Liquid There were no abnormal liquid releases in 2008.
b. Gaseous There were three unplanned gaseous releases in 2008. Two of these releases were due to identified leakage in the Waste Gas System. For both of these releases, a sample was taken from the in-service Waste Gas Decay Tank to determine the activity at the time the leakage was discovered. There was a total of 2.28E-02 curies released from these two releases.

The third unplanned gaseous release was due to identified leakage from the reactor coolant system (RCS) by valve ICS-748 to the refueling water storage tank (RWST). A permit was performed due to the venting of the tank during this time. The RCS stripped gas concentration was used for effluent accountability on this release. There was 2.46E-04 curies released from this release.

Appendix 3: Changes to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)

Technical Specifications 6.14.c During 2008, the ODCM was not revised.

Appendix 4: Changes to the Environmental Monitoring Program Enclosure 1: Environmental Monitoring Program Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Operational Requirement 3.12.1 .c There were no changes to the HNP Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program in 2008.

Enclosure 2: Land Use Census Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Operational Requirements 3.12.2.a and 3.12.2.b A Land Use Census was completed in September 2008. The changes observed in the 2008 Land Use Census from the previous year survey were as follows: a new garden was implemented in the ENE sector at 1.6 miles by the same resident. Whereas a garden existed in the SSE sector in 2007, no garden was found this year in this sector. No gardens were found again this year in the WNW, NE, and S sectors. Whereas meat animals were present in the NNE, SSE, and W sectors in 2007, no meat animals were found this year in these sectors. As was the case in 2007, no meat animals were found in the NE, S, SSW, WNW, and NW sectors. As in 2007, Harris Lake County Park was also included in the survey. Although there are not yet permanent residents on site, there are plans in the future for rangers and a campground. The resident in the S sector has again been included in the data, even though they are technically just outside the 5-mile radius, because of historical prevailing winds.

Appendix 5: Additional Operational Requirements Enclosure 1: Inoperability of Liquid Effluent Monitors ODCM Operational Requirement 3.3.3.1 O.b Radioactivity Liquid Effluent Monitors Providing Alarms and Automatic Termination of Release were reviewed for operability during 2008 by the Condition Reporting Process pursuant to ODCM Operational Requirement 3.3.3.10,b. None were inoperable for greater than 30 continuous days during the reporting period.

Enclosure 2: Inoperability of Gaseous Effluent Monitors ODCM Operational Requirement 3.3.3.11 .b Radioactivity Gaseous Effluent Monitors Providing Alarms and Automatic Termination of Release were reviewed for operability during 2008 by the Condition Reporting Process pursuant to ODCM Operational Requirement 3.3.3.11 .b. None were inoperable for greater than 30 continuous days during the reporting period.

Enclosure 3: Unprotected Outdoor Tanks Exceeding Limits Technical Specification 3.11.1.4.

No unprotected outdoor tank exceeded the Technical Specification limit of 10 Curies, excluding tritium or dissolved noble gases during this report period.

Enclosure 4: Gas Storage Tanks Exceeding Limits PLP- 114, Attachment 5, Operational Requirement 1.1 No gas storage tank exceeded the PLP-1 14, Attachment 5 Operational Requirement limit of 1.05 E+05 Curies during this report period.

Enclosure 5: Groundwater Samples taken in support of Groundwater Protection Initiative NEI 07-07 Industry Groundwater Protection Initiative -

Final Guidance Document, Objective 2.4 Samples were taken at various locations throughout the plant in support of the Groundwater Protection Initiative.

Samples included Cistern #2 (enclosure for an Air Relief Valve for the Cooling Tower Blowdown Line), and Vaults and Yard Drains that may have collapsed and contained water that could potentially affect groundwater. Samples analyzed at HNP showed no detectable tritium activity. Four out of seven samples from Cistern #2 analyzed at the Harris E&E Center showed tritium activity, but less than the LLD value for the Harris Nuclear Plant. The Harris E&E Center analyzes to a lower LLD. As of the end of this reporting period, an investigation was in process concerning the four positive results.

Appendix 8: Assessment of Radiation Doses ODCM Operational Requirement F.2 An Assessment of radiation doses to the maximum exposed member of the public due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents released from the site for each calendar quarter for the calendar year of this report, along with an annual total of each effluent pathway is in pursuant to the Operational Requirement F.2. Since 10CFR50, Appendix I is more restrictive than 40CRF 190 for a single unit site, the aýsessment for 40CFRI90 is performed when any of the 10CFR50, Appendix I limits are exceeded by a factor of 2 using LADTAP, XOQDOQ, and GASPAR II (NRC computer codes). The ODCM software is more conservative and is used for annual effluent dose assessment for demonstration of compliance with 10CFR50, Appendix I and 40CFRI90.

Gaseous The dose from the gaseous pathway is based on the highest calculated twelve-year annual average relative concentration (X/Q) and deposition factor ((D/Q) for particulates) at the most restrictive location at the site boundary.

ODCM Operational Requirement F.2 Doses Due to Direct Radiation from the Harris Nuclear Plant:

Ongoing Environmental TLD Dose measurements show that the offsite Direct Radiation Dose is negligible. Components considered include Radwaste storage onsite and the Old Steam Generator Storage Facility.

Doses from Return/Re-use of Previously Discharged Radioactive Effluents:

1. Tritium dose from drinking water to the worker at the Wake County Fire Training Center for 2008 is equal to 1.24 E-01 troem.
2. Tritium dose to the nearest resident from the Cooling Tower evaporation is equal to 2.92 E-02 mrem. This resident is a teenager living in the NNE sector at a distance of 0.249 miles.
3. Tritium dose to the nearest resident from lake evaporation is equal to 9.40 E-02 mrem.

This resident is a teenager living in the SSW sector at a distance of 4 miles.

Appendix 9: Corrections to Previous Annual Reports There are no corrections to be made to previous year's Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Reports. An assessment was performed to characterize the particle size distribution from the exhaust of Plant Vent Stack 1, Waste Process Building Stack 5, and Waste Process Building Stack 5A due to the absence of isokinetic sampling.

Based on the assessment, it was concluded that the previously reported particulate effluent activity releases are not significantly affected. Therefore, no changes to previous effluent reports are required.
