SUMMARY

Effluents are strictly monitored to ensure that radioactivity released to the environment is as low as reasonably achievable and does not exceed regulatory limits. Effluent control includes the operation of monitoring systems, in-plant and environmental sampling and analyses programs, quality assurance programs for effluent and environmental programs, and procedures covering all aspects of effluent and environmental monitoring.

Both radiological environmental and effluent monitoring indicate that the operation of Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS) does not result in significant radiation exposure of people or the environment surrounding OCNGS and is well below the applicable levels set by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).There were no liquid radioactive effluent releases above ODCM LLDs during 2008.Therefore there was no dose due to radiological liquid releases.

Utilizing gaseous effluent data, the maximum hypothetical dose to any individual in the south east sector of the plant (sector of predominant wind direction) was calculated using a mathematical model, which is based on the methods defined by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

These methods accurately determine the types and quantities of radioactive materials being released to the environment.

The maximum hypothetical calculated organ dose (thyroid) from iodines and particulates to any individual due to gaseous effluents was 3.58E-3 mRem (0.00358 mRem), which was approximately 0.024 percent of the annual limit. The maximum hypothetical calculated whole body dose to any individual due to gaseous effluents was 4.22E-4 mRem (0.000422 mRem), which was 0.000084 percent of the annual limit.The total maximum hypothetical organ dose (thyroid) received by any individual from gaseous effluents from OCNGS for the reporting period due to all radiological effluents is 3.58E-3 mRem (0.00358 mRem). This value is more than 83,000 times lower than the dose the average individual in the Oyster Creek area received from background radiation, including that from radon during the same time period. The background radiation dose averages approximately 300 mRem per year in the Central New Jersey area, which includes approximately 200 mRem/year from naturally occurring radon gas and100 mRem from background radiation.

The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is a closed system and the only exposure would be due to direct radiation.

This includes iodines,, particulates and noble gases. Based on offsite TLD readings, dose due to direct radiation from the ISFSI was less than 1 mRem for 2008. Because it is a sealed unit, no radioactive material was released.Additionally, comparison of environmental sampling results to iodine and particulate gaseous effluents released, showed no radioactivity attributable to the operation of OCNGS. Both elevated and ground-level release paths were considered in this review, 2 with total iodines released of 1.58 mCi and total particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days released of 0.339 mCi (1 mCi is one/one-thousandth of a Ci.).Joint Frequency Tables of meteorological data, per Pasquill Category, as well as for all stability classes, are included.

All data was collected from the on-site Meteorological Facility.

Data recoveries for the 380-foot data and the 33-foot data were 97.9 percent and 97.8 percent, respectively.

The UFSAR commits to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.23 for Meteorological Facility data recovery.

RG 1.23 requires data recovery of at least 90%on an annual basis.3

1. Introduction In accordance with the reporting requirements of Technical Specification 3.6.E.1 applicable during the reporting period, this report summarizes the effluent release data for Oyster Creek Generating Station for the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. This submittal complies with the format described in Regulatory Guide 1.21, "Measuring, Evaluating and Reporting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants", Revision 1, June, 1974.Meteorological data was reported in the format specified in Regulatory Guide 1.23, Revision 1, "Meteorological Monitoring Programs For Nuclear Power Plants".All vendor results were received and included in the report calculations.

Therefore the 2008 report is complete.2. Supplemental Information A. Regulatory Limits Limit Units Receptor ODCM and 10 CFR 50, Appendix I Desiqn Obiective Limits 1.

Effluent Concentration Limits: Gaseous dose rates rather than effluent concentrations are used to calculate permissible release rates for gaseous releases.

The maximum permissible dose rates for gaseous releases are defined in ODCM Controls 3.11.2.2.

and 3.11.2.2.The Effluent Concentration Limit (ECL) specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 for identified nuclides, were used to calculate permissible release rates and concentrations for liquid release per the Oyster Creek Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Control 3.11.1 1. The total activity concentration at the Route 9 bridge for all dissolved or entrained gases was limited to < 2E-04 ltCi/mL.C. Average Energy (E): The Oyster Creek ODCM limits the instantaeneous dose equivalent rates due to the release of noble gases to less than or equalto 500 mrem/year to the total body and less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. The average beta and gamma energies (T) of the radionuclide mixture in releases of fission and activation gases as described in Regulatory Guide 1.21, "Measuring, Evaluation, and Reporting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants," may be used to calculate doses in lieu of more sophisticated software.

The Oyster Creek radioactive effluent program employs the methodologies presented in U.S. NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and NUREG-0133, "Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants, October 1978. Therefore, average energies are not applicable to Oyster Creek.D. Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity:

1. Fission and Activation Gases The method used for Gamma Isotopic Analysis is the Canberra Gamma Spectroscopy System with a gas Marinelli beaker. Airborne effluent gaseous activity was continuously monitored and recorded in accordance with ODCM Table 4.11.2.1.2-1.

Additional grab samples were taken from the stack RAGEMS sample point and ground-level release sample points and analyzed at least monthly to determine the isotopic mixture of noble gas activity released for the month. The data from the noble gas radiation monitor were analyzed to report net noble gas effluent activity.

If activity was found in the grab isotopic analysis, the isotopic mixture for the Noble Gas Monitor was determined from that isotopic mixture.2. Particulates and lodines The method used for Gamma Isotopic Analysis is the Canberra Gamma Spectroscopy System with a particulate filter (47 mm) and/or charcoal cartridge, respectively.

Particulate and iodine activity was continuously sampled and analyzed in accordance with ODCM Table 4.11.2.1.2-1.

Charcoal and particulate samples are taken from the stack RAGEMS sample point and ground-level release sample points and analyzed at least weekly to determine the total activity released from the plant based on the highest vent flow rates recorded for the sampling period.5

3. Liquid Effluents During 2008, there were no radiological liquid releases.

Since there were no liquid discharges in 2008, there was no dose attributable to liquid effluents.

4. Tritium in Gaseous Effluents:

Air from stack effluents was passed through a desiccant column and distilled to remove the tritiated water collected.

An aliquot of the water from the distillate was analyzed using a liquid scintillation counter.5. Composite Samples and Lower Limit of Detection (LLD)Particulate air samples were composited monthly and analyzed for gross alpha, Sr-89 and Sr-90. These composites are submitted to an offsite vendor laboratory for analysis.6. Estimated Total Error Present Procedure CY-AA-170-2100, Estimated Errors of Effluent Measurements, provides the methodology to obtain an overall estimate of the error associated with radioactive effluents.

E. Abnormal Releases:

There were no abnormal releases during 2008.F. Revisions to the ODCM Revision 3 of CY-OC-70-301, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual was approved during April, 2009. A complete copy along with a summary of changes is included in the mailing: " Changes to REMP sample locations." Change the reporting level of 1-131 to 2 pCi/L" Update X/Q and D/Q factors to average values from the last five years of met data." Use of the updated X/Q and D/Q factors in example dose calculations." Add a reference for a report from a vendor's hydrogeologic investigation report." A complete re-write of Table E-1 describing REMP sample stations." Updated maps of.the 1-mile, 1 to 5-mile and greater than 5-mile rings showing REMP sample stations.Radiation Effluent Monitors Out of Service More Than 30 Days Per ODCM Control 3.11, "Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation" and Table 3.3.3.11-1 Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation", instrumentation requires: With less than the minimum number of radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation channels OPERABLE, take the ACTION shown in Table 3.3.3.11-1.

Restore the inoperable instrumentation to OPERABLE status within the time specified in the ACTION or explain in the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report why this inoperability was not corrected within the time specified.

The following is a discussion of instrumentation out of service for greater than 30 days: The Service Water radiation monitor was out of service from 09/25/2008 to 12/31/2008 due to inoperable instrumentation.

An investigation revealed that the monitor could not be repaired and that new components had to be manufactured.

G. Changes to the Process Control Plan 6 Revision 8 of the Process Control Plan (PCP) (RW-AA-100) consisted of numerous relatively minor changes including clarification to a vendor's processing system, changes to general waste .processing requirements, the handling of dry activated waste (DAW)burial site requirements, and shipping and inspection requirements.

H. Releases from the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is a closed system and the only exposure would be due to direct radiation.

This includes iodines, particulates, and noble gases. Based on offsite TLD readings, dose due to direct radiation from the ISFSI was less than lmRem for 2008. Because it is a sealed unit, no radioactive material was released.7 Appendix A Effluent and Waste Disposal Summary 8 LIST OF TABLES PAGE Table A -1 Gaseous Effluents

For purposes of this calculation the following assumptions were made: Gaseous* Annual average meteorology and actual gaseous effluent releases were used.* Beta air dose attributed to noble gas releases.* The sector with the highest x/Q, x/Q depleted and D/Q was the SE sector at Site Boundary 762 meters.* All significant pathways were assumed to be present* Occupancy factor was considered 100%.Liquid There was no dose due to liquid releases.A summary of gaseous and liquid radiation doses to members of the public at these locations was as follows: Effluent Applicable Estimated Age Location % of Limit Unit Organ Dose Group Distance Direction Applicable (meters) (toward) Limit Noble Gas Gamma -Air Dose 5.25E-03 All 762 SE 2.63E-02 20 mRad Noble Gas Beta -Air Dose 3.10E-03 All 762 SE 7.75E-03 40 mRad Noble Gas Total Body (Gamma) 3.47E-03 All 762 SE 3.47E-02 10 mrem Noble Gas Skin (Beta) 6.40E-03 All 762 SE 2.13E-02 30 mrem Iodine, Particulate

& Thyroid 1.03E-02 Inf ant 762 SE 3.40E-02 30 mrem Tritium Doses calculated were well below all ODCM and 40 CFR Part 190 limits of 25 mrem to a real individual.

The ODCM does not require population doses to be calculated.

The radiation doses to Members of the Public have been estimated using methodology stated in the ODCM. The maximum gaseous dose to members of the public at these locations is based on the following assumptions:

  • Actual meteorological data and actual effluent releases were used.* Beta air dose attributed to noble gas releases.* Dose is from ground plane and inhalation only. No ingestion dose.* Adult age group was used for the New Jersey State Police dose.* The maximum expected occupancy factor is 25% of a working year at all locations.

Notes: (1) The limit for Gamma Air Dose = 10 mRad/Yr (ref. ODCM 3.11.2.2.)

(2) The limit for Beta Air Dose = 20 mRad/Yr (ref. ODCM 3.11.2.2.)

(3) The limit for Iodine/Particulate/H-3 Organ Dose = 15 mrem/Yr (ref. ODCM 3.11.2.3.)
