ENCLOSURE 1 OFF-SITE RADIATION DOSE ASSESSMENT January 1, 2015- December 31, 2015 5 pages to follow

Page 1 of 5 PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT OFF-SITE RADIATION DOSE ASSESSMENT FOR January 1, 2015- December 31, 2015 An Assessment of the radiation dose due to releases from Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant during 2015 was performed, in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, and as required by Technical Specifications. Computed doses were well below the 40 CFR Part 190 Standards and 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix I Guidelines.

Off-site dose calculation formulas and historical meteorological data were used in making this assessment. Source terms were obtained from the Annual Radioactive Effluent and Waste Disposal Report and prepared for NRC review, for the year of 2015.

OFFSITE DOSES FROM GASEOUS RELEASE:

Computed doses due to gaseous releases are reported in Table 1. Critical receptor location and pathways for organ doses are reported in Table 2. Gaseous release doses are a small percentage of Appendix I Guidelines.

OFFSITE DOSES FROM LIQUID RELEASE:

Computed doses* due to liquid releases are reported in Table 1. Critical receptor information is reported in Table 2. Liquid release doses, both whole body and organ, are a small percentage of Appendix I Guidelines.

DOSES TO INDIVIDUALS DUE TO ACTIVITIES INSIDE THE SITE BOUNDARY:

Occasionally sportsmen enter the Prairie Island Site Boundary for recreational activities.

These individuals are not expected to spend more than a few hours per year within the site boundary. Commercial and recreational river traffic exists through this area.

For purposes of estimating the dose, due to recreational and river water transportation activities within the site boundary, it is assumed that the limiting dose within the site boundary would be received by an individual who spends a total of seven days per year on the river just off-shore from the plant buildings (ESE at 0.2 miles). The gamma dose from noble gas releases and the whole body and organ doses from the inhalation pathway due to Iodine 131, lodine-133, tritium and long-lived particulates were calculated for this location and occupancy time. These doses are reported in Table 1.

Critical Receptor location and pathways for organ doses are reported in Table 2.

Page 2 of 5 ABNORMAL RELEASES There were no (0) abnormal releases for 2015.

40CFR190 COMPLIANCE REMP environmental TLD results for 2015 were reviewed per ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014 methodology for determining any plant effect above ambient gamma radiation measurements. Attachment 4 demonstrates that facility-related dose for quarterly and annual exposure intervals was not detected for all measurement locations. All measurements are considered to be within the range of variations in natural background radiation.

Neutron sky shine dose from the ISFSI was evaluated. The maximum sky shine dose was determined to be 0.71 mrem, to the nearest resident, at 724 meters from the ISFSI.

Neutron sky shine dose is greater than the effluent dose to the Critical Receptor, therefore, 40CFR 190 compliance was evaluated to the location of the maximum neutron sky shine dose.

  • The 40CFR 190 evaluation location was determined to be direction W, at 0. 7 miles.

Dose due to gaseous effluents were calculated to the 40CFR190 evaluation location.

Gamma Direct Radiation Dose: O.OOE+OO MREM Neutron sky shine Dose: 7.1 OE-01 MREM Gamma Air Dose: 2.65E-05 MREM Beta Air Dose: 9.78E-05 MREM Iodine, particulate, H-3 and C-14 Dose: 6.26E-03 MREM*

SAMPLING, ANALYSIS AND LLD REQUIREMENTS The lower limit of detection (LLD) requirements, as specified in ODCM Table 2.1 and 3.1 were met for 2015. The minimum sampling frequency requirements, as specified in ODCM Table 2.1 and 3.1 were met for 2015.

Page 3 of 5 MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION For 2015, there were no (0) occurrences, when less than the minimum required radioactive liquid and/or gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation channels were operable, as required by ODCM Tables 2.2 and 3.2.

DOSES TO INDIVIDUALS DUE TO EFFLUENT RELEASES FROM THE INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE FACILITY (ISFSI):

Two (2) fuel casks were loaded and placed in the storage facility during the 2015 calendar year. The total number of casks in the ISFSI, as of 12/31/15, was forty (40). There was no (0) releases of radioactive effluents from the ISFSI.

CURRENT OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATIONS MANUAL (ODCM) REVISION:

The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual was not revised in 2015. The latest revision, revision 29, is dated August 22, 2014.

CRITICAL RECEPTOR Based on the Annual Land Use Census, there was no change in critical receptor.

Based on the ISFSI neutron sky shine evaluation, a second location was determined for evaluation of 40CFR190 compliance. The location was determined to be at 0.7 miles, in theW direction.

PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM The Process Control Program for Solidification/Dewatering of Radioactive Waste from Liquid Systems (D 59) was not revised in 2015. Current manual revision is 11. The revision date is October 23, 2014. Revision 11 was submitted with the 2014 report.

SOLID WASTE SHIPMENTS A copy of the "LOW LEVEL WASTE DISPOSAL ANNUAL REPORT SOLID WASTE AND IRRADIATED COMPONENT SHIPMENTS" is included as enclosure 3.

INDUSTRY INITIATIVE ON GROUND WATER PROTECTION:

There was zero (0) events for inclusion in the Annual Effluent Report, as part of the NEI Ground Water Initiative.

ENCLOSURE 1 OFF-SITE RADIATION DOSE ASSESSMENT January 1, 2015- December 31, 2015 5 pages to follow

Page 1 of 5 PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT OFF-SITE RADIATION DOSE ASSESSMENT FOR January 1, 2015- December 31, 2015 An Assessment of the radiation dose due to releases from Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant during 2015 was performed, in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, and as required by Technical Specifications. Computed doses were well below the 40 CFR Part 190 Standards and 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix I Guidelines.

Off-site dose calculation formulas and historical meteorological data were used in making this assessment. Source terms were obtained from the Annual Radioactive Effluent and Waste Disposal Report and prepared for NRC review, for the year of 2015.

OFFSITE DOSES FROM GASEOUS RELEASE:

Computed doses due to gaseous releases are reported in Table 1. Critical receptor location and pathways for organ doses are reported in Table 2. Gaseous release doses are a small percentage of Appendix I Guidelines.

OFFSITE DOSES FROM LIQUID RELEASE:

Computed doses* due to liquid releases are reported in Table 1. Critical receptor information is reported in Table 2. Liquid release doses, both whole body and organ, are a small percentage of Appendix I Guidelines.

DOSES TO INDIVIDUALS DUE TO ACTIVITIES INSIDE THE SITE BOUNDARY:

Occasionally sportsmen enter the Prairie Island Site Boundary for recreational activities.

These individuals are not expected to spend more than a few hours per year within the site boundary. Commercial and recreational river traffic exists through this area.

For purposes of estimating the dose, due to recreational and river water transportation activities within the site boundary, it is assumed that the limiting dose within the site boundary would be received by an individual who spends a total of seven days per year on the river just off-shore from the plant buildings (ESE at 0.2 miles). The gamma dose from noble gas releases and the whole body and organ doses from the inhalation pathway due to Iodine 131, lodine-133, tritium and long-lived particulates were calculated for this location and occupancy time. These doses are reported in Table 1.

Critical Receptor location and pathways for organ doses are reported in Table 2.

Page 2 of 5 ABNORMAL RELEASES There were no (0) abnormal releases for 2015.

40CFR190 COMPLIANCE REMP environmental TLD results for 2015 were reviewed per ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014 methodology for determining any plant effect above ambient gamma radiation measurements. Attachment 4 demonstrates that facility-related dose for quarterly and annual exposure intervals was not detected for all measurement locations. All measurements are considered to be within the range of variations in natural background radiation.

Neutron sky shine dose from the ISFSI was evaluated. The maximum sky shine dose was determined to be 0.71 mrem, to the nearest resident, at 724 meters from the ISFSI.

Neutron sky shine dose is greater than the effluent dose to the Critical Receptor, therefore, 40CFR 190 compliance was evaluated to the location of the maximum neutron sky shine dose.

  • The 40CFR 190 evaluation location was determined to be direction W, at 0. 7 miles.

Dose due to gaseous effluents were calculated to the 40CFR190 evaluation location.

SAMPLING, ANALYSIS AND LLD REQUIREMENTS The lower limit of detection (LLD) requirements, as specified in ODCM Table 2.1 and 3.1 were met for 2015. The minimum sampling frequency requirements, as specified in ODCM Table 2.1 and 3.1 were met for 2015.

Page 3 of 5 MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION For 2015, there were no (0) occurrences, when less than the minimum required radioactive liquid and/or gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation channels were operable, as required by ODCM Tables 2.2 and 3.2.

DOSES TO INDIVIDUALS DUE TO EFFLUENT RELEASES FROM THE INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE FACILITY (ISFSI):

Two (2) fuel casks were loaded and placed in the storage facility during the 2015 calendar year. The total number of casks in the ISFSI, as of 12/31/15, was forty (40). There was no (0) releases of radioactive effluents from the ISFSI.

CURRENT OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATIONS MANUAL (ODCM) REVISION:

The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual was not revised in 2015. The latest revision, revision 29, is dated August 22, 2014.

CRITICAL RECEPTOR Based on the Annual Land Use Census, there was no change in critical receptor.

Based on the ISFSI neutron sky shine evaluation, a second location was determined for evaluation of 40CFR190 compliance. The location was determined to be at 0.7 miles, in theW direction.

PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM The Process Control Program for Solidification/Dewatering of Radioactive Waste from Liquid Systems (D 59) was not revised in 2015. Current manual revision is 11. The revision date is October 23, 2014. Revision 11 was submitted with the 2014 report.

SOLID WASTE SHIPMENTS A copy of the "LOW LEVEL WASTE DISPOSAL ANNUAL REPORT SOLID WASTE AND IRRADIATED COMPONENT SHIPMENTS" is included as enclosure 3.

INDUSTRY INITIATIVE ON GROUND WATER PROTECTION:

There was zero (0) events for inclusion in the Annual Effluent Report, as part of the NEI Ground Water Initiative.
