Attachment 1 Effluent and Waste Disposal Report Supplemental Information Discussion of Carbon-14 in Gaseous Effluents Carbon-14 (C-14), with a half-life of 5730 years, is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon produced by cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere. The concentration of C- 14 in the atmosphere was increased significantly in the 1950s and 1960s due to nuclear weapons testing.

Commercial nuclear reactors also produce C-14, but in amounts much less than those produced naturally or as a result of weapons testing. Regulatory Guide 1.21 Revision 1 (1974), to which the Brunswick Nuclear Plant (BNP) is committed, did not address C-14. However, since that time analytical methods for determining C-14 have improved and Revision 2 (2009) states that Licensees should evaluate whether C-14 is a principal radionuclide for gaseous effluents.

Improvements in fuel performance have resulted in a decrease in radioactive effluents from BNP to the point that C-14 is now considered a principal radionuclide. In Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs), such as BNP, the gaseous C-14 releases are primarily in the form of carbon dioxide.

The dose contribution of C-14 in liquid radioactive waste is minimal, therefore, evaluation of C-14 in liquid discharges is not required. BNP's Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) states the C-14 release rate from a BWR is approximately 9.50E+00 Ci/yr assuming 80% plant capacity factor. Since BNP has two reactors, the release rate would be 1.90E+01 Ci/yr. This value was scaled to 100% capacity factor using Effective Full Power Days (EFPD) to give a release rate of 2.1E+01 Ci/yr. Based on the 2010 Land Use Census, the critical receptor is located in the south sector at 1.6 miles with a garden. There are no meat or milk pathways within 5 miles. Regulatory Guide 1.109 methodology was used to determine the dose to this critical receptor. The bone dose for 2010 was 2.36E+00 mrem and the total body dose was 4.71E-01 mrem. The curies released are included in Attachment 2, Table 1A and the dose is included in the Annual Dose Summary, Attachment 7.

Discussion of liquid releases from the Storm Drain Collector Basin (SDCB)

During period of heavy rains, the contents of the SDCB may be released to the discharge canal in accordance with regulatory requirements to protect plant personnel and equipment. The SDCB was released directly to the discharge canal on fifteen occasions in 2010 due to heavy rains.

Approximately 4.12E+06 gallons containing 8.87E-02 curies of tritium were released. There was no detectable gamma radioactivity. This resulted in an estimated maximum dose to the individual of 1.35E-07 mrem. The volume released was not included in the average diluted concentration determination or in the volume of waste released on Attachment 2, Table 2A. The tritium released was included in the quarterly summary on Attachment 2, Table 2A and the dose is included in the Annual Dose Summary, Attachment 7.

Discussion of liquid releases from the Storm Drain Stabilization Pond (SDSP)

The SDSP collects rainwater and water from miscellaneous low volume drains on plant site.

Treatment consists of sedimentation, evaporation and transpiration. When sufficient water has accumulated in the pond it is released into the intake canal where it is drawn into the plant circulating and service water system and eventually released into the discharge canal. In 2010, approximately 7.01E+07 gallons containing 2.50E+00 curies of tritium were released from the SDSP to the intake canal. There was no detectable gamma radioactivity. This resulted in an estimated maximum dose to the individual of 4.06E-06 mrem. The SDSP is a permitted release point. The volume released was not included in the average diluted concentration determination or in the volume of waste released on Attachment 2, Table 2A. The tritium released is included Page 5 of 42

Attachment 1 Effluent and Waste Disposal Report Supplemental Information in the quarterly summary on Attachment 2, Table 2A and the dose is included in the Annual Dose Summary, Attachment 7.

Discussion of water evaporation from the Storm Drain Stabilization Pond There was 5.72E+07 gallons of tritiated water released via evaporation from the SDSP in 2010.

This yields 2.67E+00 curies of tritium released to the atmosphere as a ground release. The nearest resident to the pond is in the northwest sector at approximately 0.3 miles. The maximum exposed individuals at that location received a calculated dose of 8.16E-04 mrem via the inhalation pathway in 2010. Only inhalation dose was determined because the exposed individuals do not have a garden and also do not have any milk or meat animals at this location.

The curies of tritium released from the SDSP evaporation are included in Attachment 2, Table IA. The dose is included in the Annual Dose Summary, Attachment 7.

Discussion of liquid releases from the Marsh to Nancy's Creek Samples are routinely analyzed from the marsh areas that drain into Nancy's Creek during falling tides. The marsh areas are all on company owned property. The marsh land is under the influence of high and low tides and releases to Nancy's Creek, which is offsite. This constitutes a release point for evaluation (curies released, volume, offsite dose impact, etc). The sampling program consists of weekly sampling and analysis at eight locations. All gamma analyses performed in 2010 were less than the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD). There were 416 tritium analyses performed, which resulted in 149 positive tritium results. The minimum concentration detected from the 149 positive results was 2.38E-07 pCi/ml and the maximum concentration was 2.28E-05 [tCi/ml. Using the average concentration of 1.15E-06 jtCi/ml, two high tides per day, the area of the marsh at high tide, 365 days, and a conservative factor of 2, it is calculated that 5.37E+07 gallons were released to Nancy's Creek containing 2.35E-01 curies of tritium. This yielded a Total Body dose of 2.25E-03 mrem to an adult from eating fish and 5.54E-04 mrem from eating invertebrate (shrimp, crabs, etc.) for a total dose of 2.80E-03 mrem. The curies released are included in Attachment 2, Table 2A and the dose is included in the Annual Dose Summary, Attachment 7.

Discussion of liquid release from Pipe Outfall On September 27, 2010 at 15:01, during a heavy rain event, a bladder plug in storm drain piping near the Storm Drain Stabilization Pond failed allowing water containing tritium to be released into the intake canal. The water was sampled at the time of discovery and contained 1.42E-06 pCi/ml of tritium. There was no detectable gamma radioactivity. Using a flow rate of 1.22 cfs, it is calculated that 6.05E+05 gallons were released containing 3.24E-03 curies of tritium in 2010. This resulted in an estimated maximum dose to the individual of 3.86E-09 mrem. The curies released are included in Attachment 2, Table 2A and the dose is included in the Annual Dose Summary, Attachment 7.

Discussion of Groundwater Monitoring The BSEP groundwater sampling and analysis program has grown into a significant surveillance program over the past few years. Wells have been installed around the SDSP, in the Protected Area (PA), and throughout the Owner Controlled Area (OCA). Forty wells are listed in the ODCM and are addressed in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Report (REMP). The monitoring wells that are not covered in the ODCM will be discussed below. These wells consist of shallow and intermediate wells in different locations around the OCA and PA and are Page 6 of 42

Attachment 5 Major Modification To The Radioactive Waste Treatment Systems In accordance with ODCMS 7.5.1, major changes to the liquid, gaseous, and solid Radioactive Waste Treatment Systems shall be reported to the NRC as part of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report or as part of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) update. Any major modifications to the radioactive waste treatment systems will be submitted with the UFSAR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71 (e). The following change was made during this reporting period:

The installation of the Unit 2 Salt Water Release Tank (SWRT) was completed under Engineering Change 70824. This change was submitted under Licensing Document Change Request 1OFSAR-014. This change will revise Section 11.2.2, Table 9-24, and Table 11-4 of the UFSAR.

Portions of the Unit 2 system were installed during the Unit 1 SWRT installation including the SWRT and piping from the condenser pit to enable pump out to the Unit 1 SWRT. This EC completed the installation and includes various upgrades based on Unit 1 operating experience.

The following work activities were required to complete the Unit 2 SWR system:

" Installation of SWRT pump, filters, piping and supports.

  • Installation of local instrument control panel, wiring and associated instruments.
  • Installation of tank level indicator at the Radwaste control panel.
  • Installation of electrical power feeds from local 480 and 120VAC distribution systems to the SWRT pump and instrument control panel.

" Completion of the SWRT grating. Most of the grating was in place but modifications were required to mount various components including the pump, filters and piping.

" Completion of the tank inlet and outlet piping. The tank has two inlets: one for condenser pit pumpout and one for spray cooler basin drains. Tank outlet piping was tied-in with the Unit 1 tank outlet piping which goes to Radwaste.

The following design upgrades were included for the Unit 2 SWR system:

" Epoxy lining for the SWRT interior to protect the concrete, improve the ability to clean the tank wall, and reduce maintenance.

" Upgraded tank level instrumentation including installation of a stilling well and local indicator for improved performance.

" Upgraded filters to reduce maintenance dose rate exposure. The new horizontal filters are single cartridge design compared to nearly sixty cartridges on the existing units. The existing filter housing design has long since been discontinued due to poor sealing performance.

" Filter isolation valves that are operable from the outside the high rad area on top of the tank to reduce maintenance dose rate exposure.

" The system will not include the control valve on the tank inlet which closes automatically when the tank is 80% full. This change is due to the addition of a second inlet pipe to the SWRTs under interfacing EC 70821 for the spray cooler basin overflow drains. SWRT isolation will be accomplished by closing both inlet valves manually per revised procedures.

" Modified DPI instrument valve configuration to facilitate in-place calibration of instruments.

Attachment 9 Special Groundwater Protection On December 9, 2010, water was found leaking from electrical junction box WL2 into the Diesel Generator Building basement. The tritium levels of the water were determined to be in excess of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) voluntary reporting criteria (i.e., 30,000 pCi/L for onsite groundwater, as specified in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual). Further investigation determined the source of the tritiated water to be an underground portion of the Unit 1 Hotwell Makeup line, l-CO-32-12-C-2, from the Unit 1 Condensate Storage Tank (CST). The Unit 1 Hotwell Make-up line was isolated and Engineering Changes 79448 and 79450 were implemented to provide Unit 1 Hotwell Makeup from the Unit 2 CST. The leak was inside the plant protected area, well inside the site's property boundary. There is no indication that tritium migrated into drinking water sources or off plant property. The leakage did not impacted plant reliability or the operability of any safety-related equipment. Corrective actions were taken to capture the inleakage of water into the diesel generator building and route it through normal permitted discharge paths. Additional water samples were obtained from site monitoring wells until the leak was isolated. The Brunswick plant has had an extensive groundwater protection monitoring program in place since 2007. This environmental sampling program consists of more than 100 monitoring wells which are routinely sampled. The following agencies were notified of this incident: City of Southport, Brunswick County, State Officials, NEI, INPO, ANI, and the NRC Resident Inspector. Reference Nuclear Condition Report 437478 for further details on this leak.
