A BIG ROCK POINT INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004 I.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is located within the Protected Area of the Big Rock Point (BRP) site. The storage of spent fuel at BRP meets the requirements Certificate of Compliance (No. 72-1026) issued by the NRC.
II.
EFFLUENT LIMITS AND CONTROLS This installation operates under effluent control limits as required by 10 CFR 72.44(d).
However, the design of the sealed storage canisters at the ISFSI precludes any gaseous or liquid effluent releases. This report is submitted in compliance with ISFSI Certification of Compliance Section 1.2.4.3.4 and pursuant to 10 CFR 72.44(d)(3).
III.
RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT RELEASES As noted in Section II, by design, there are no radioactive liquid or gaseous effluents originating from the ISFSI facility. The annual radiological surveillance performed during this reporting period did not find any indication of radioactive releases occurring from the ISFSI.
IV.
ISFSI ENVIROMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM The Big Rock Point Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) is described in the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM),Section I, Subsection 4.0. The ISFSI Environmental Monitoring Program consists of informational thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) at four locations along the perimeter of the ISFSI site. These TLDs are read both annually and quarterly. The results for the ISFSI TLDs measured in 2004 are summarized in the following table.
