Subject:

2012 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report

Dear Sir:

In accordance with the requirements of Section 6.9.17 of Limerick Generating Station (LGS) Unit 1 and Unit 2 Tech. Specs., and Section 6.1 of the LGS Units 1 and 2 Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), this letter submits the 2012 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report No. 27. This report provides the 2012 results for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) as called for in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

In assessing the data collected for the REMP, it has been concluded that the operation of LGS, Units 1 and 2 had no adverse impact on the environment. No plant-produced fission or activation products, with the exception of Cs-137, were found in any pathway modeled by the REMP. Cesium-137 levels detected in sediment were consistent with levels found in previous years and were attributable to LGS liquid releases. Results of the groundwater protection program are also included in this report. Positive tritium was found in 4 of 12 groundwater monitoring locations that ranged up to 14,200 pCi/L.

There are no commitments contained in this letter.

If you have any question s do not hesitate to contact us.
