SUMMARY

AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 1-1

INTRODUCTION The submittal of the 2013 Radioactive Effluent Release Report is in accordance with PPL Susquehanna, LLC Tech Spec. 5.6.3. The enclosed information is consistent with the objectives outlined in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) and Process Control Program (PCP). The 2013 Radioactive Effluent Release Report is in conformance with 10CFR50.36a and 10CFR50, Appendix I, Section IV.B.1.

PPL Susquehanna, LLC is located in Salem Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

It is on the west bank of the Susquehanna River, 8 km northeast of Berwick. The station consists of two boiling water reactor generating units. Each unit has completed an Extended Power Uprate process which has increased licensed thermal power from 3489 MWt (megawatt thermal) to 3952 MWt. Unit-1 completed the power uprate in 2010 and Unit 2 completed the power uprate in 2011. The reactor and generating units were supplied by General Electric, while the Bechtel Corporation served as architect-engineer and constructor.

Construction of the Station began in the early 1970s. Fuel load began in Unit 1 in July of 1982. Initial criticality was achieved in the Unit 1 reactor on September 10, 1982.

The reactor reached 100% power for the first time on February 4, 1983. Commercial operation of Unit 1 was declared on June 8, 1983. Initial criticality of Unit 2 occurred on May 8, 1984. Unit 2 was declared commercial on February 12, 1985.

Airborne effluents are released from the Station via five rooftop vents on the reactor building (see Figure 1-1). Continuous sampling for particulates and iodines is performed at each vent as well as continuous monitoring for noble gases. A program of periodic sampling and analysis for tritium and noble gases along with periodic analysis of particulate and iodine samples is conducted as specified in the plant Technical Requirements. All waterborne effluents are released in batch mode and are sampled and analyzed prior to release. Waterborne effluents from the site are released into the cooling tower blowdown line for dilution prior to release to the Susquehanna River (see Figure 1-2). Blowdown line flow rates are at least 5,000 gpm during periods of liquid radwaste release. The diluted effluent is introduced to the river by way of a perforated diffuser pipe placed on the river bed. The diffuser serves to mix the station discharge with the main flow of the river.

This report presents a summary of the quantities of radioactive materials which were released from the Station during the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. In addition, this report serves as a medium for notifying the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff of changes to the ODCM, PCP and documentation of any exceptions to the effluent monitoring program which must be reported per Technical Requirements.

Airborne and waterborne radioactive effluent releases to the environment during the report period were sampled and analyzed in accordance with the Technical 1-2

Requirements. All radioactive effluent releases were within the concentration and release limits specified in the Technical Requirements. Calculations and terms utilized in this report are those outlined in the ODCM.

Section 1 contains supplemental information pertaining to effluents from the Susquehanna plant. Included are regulatory limits (Table 1-1), sampling and analysis methods, characterization of the number and duration of batch and abnormal releases and a brief summary of the applicable year's effluents.

Section 2 contains effluent and waste disposal data for the report period. Table 2-1 contains a summation of all airborne releases, grouped into the radionuclide categories of gases, particulates, iodines, and tritium. Average release rates are presented and compared to the applicable limits. Table 2-2 presents the activity totals of specific radionuclides in airborne effluents.

Waterborne effluents are summarized in Table 2-3. Average diluted concentrations are presented and compared to the applicable limits. Table 2-4 presents the release quantities of specific radionuclides in waterborne effluents over the report period.

Figures 2-1 and 2-2 present the Susquehanna River Monthly Average Flow Rates for 2013 and the Monthly Liquid Radwaste Discharge Totals for 2013, respectively.

Table 2-5 contains estimates of the errors associated with the measurements involved in quantifying effluents. Sampling errors, counting errors, and errors associated with determining effluent flow rates and volumes all contribute to the total error of effluent measurements. Error estimates are presented for each category of radionuclide detected in airborne and waterborne effluents and solid wastes during the report period (Error Analysis of the Radioactive Effluent Sampling and Analysis Program at the SSES, Hydro Nuclear Services; 1985).

Tables 2-7 through 2-14 present a characterization of the solid radioactive waste shipped offsite during the report period. An estimate of major nuclide composition is presented for each waste type. Also included are the volumes and curie contents associated with each type of solid waste. The number of waste shipments from the site transported directly for burial or disposal are listed in Table 2-6.

Section 3 presents meteorological data for 2013, including data recovery, joint frequency distribution of wind speed and direction, stability class distribution, and atmospheric dispersion estimates for selected locations.

Section 4 of this report contains an assessment of the calculated doses attributed to the reported radiological effluents for the calendar year. The Radioactive Effluent Tracking and Dose Assessment Software (RETDAS) computer code was used for calculation of doses from waterborne effluents. Site-specific parameters used in the calculations for the Danville receiver are shown in Table 4-1. The RETDAS code was also used for calculation of doses from airborne effluents. The calculated doses and direct radiation al estimates can be used to estimate the doses to maximally exposed members of the 1-3

public. Table 4-2 summarizes maximum calculated doses to members of the public from airborne and waterborne effluents. Table 4-3 presents calculated collective doses to members of the public within the Riverlands/Energy Information Center Complex.

Table 4-4 summarizes the calculated doses for residences and other occupied areas within the site boundary and the nearest dairy. Additionally, Section 4 includes a description of the methodology used in the calculation and resultant dose impact of Carbon-14 released from the station.

Section 5 of this report documents changes to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, Technical Requirements Manual and the Solid Radioactive Waste Process Control Program.

Section.6 presents a listing of cases (if any) in which airborne or waterborne effluent monitoring instrumentation was declared inoperable and was not restored to operability within the time period specified in Technical Requirements 3.11.1.4, 3.11.1.5 and 3.11.2.6 Action Statements. In addition, this section presents issues (if any) with the collection of milk or fresh leafy vegetables per Technical Requirement 3.11.4.1 and changes due to the land use census per Technical Requirement 3.11.4.2. Section 6 also includes reporting associated with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Groundwater Protection Initiative.

Section 7 contains corrections (if any) to previous Radioactive Effluent Release Reports.

Section 8 contains information on effluent and offsite dose from the systems classified 0

as insignificant effluent pathways.

SUMMARY

During 2013 there were two hundred ten (210) liquid batch releases resulting in a total release volume of approximately three million (3,000,000) gallons. The total number of liquid batch releases and total volume released in 2013 was higher than the corresponding values for 2012 (180 releases resulting in 2,322,000 gallons released in 2012) primarily due to multiple outage periods on both Units. The predominant radionuclide released in liquid effluents during 2013 was tritium. Approximately eighty one (81) curies of tritium were released in liquid effluents in 2013, compared to seventy five (75) curies released in 2012. When compared with all radionuclides released in liquid effluents in 2013, Co-60 was the main contributor to the resultant offsite dose.

Consistent with previous years, the offsite dose from liquid releases in 2013 was less than one percent (1%) of the annual limits for both organ and whole body dose.

In 2010, an industry initiative (supported by EPRI and NEI) was established to evaluate and report Carbon-14 (C-14) in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. The initiative is rooted in Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 2, "Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste", in that the NRC has recommended that U.S. nuclear power plants evaluate whether C-14 is a "principal radionuclide", and if so, report the amount of C-14 released. The C-14 reported as released from the Susquehanna station in 2013 is calculated based on samples taken from each units Offgas system in October 2012, specifically the Offgas post-treatment sample stream. Approximately 42 Curies of C-14 were released in gaseous effluents in 2013. See section 4 for additional details on C-14 released in airborne effluents.

Historically, tritium has been the predominant radionuclide (both in Curies and resultant offsite dose) released in gaseous effluents from the Susquehanna station.

Approximately one (1) curie of tritium was released in gaseous effluents in 2013 compared to seven (7) curies in 2012. The resultant maximum offsite organ dose due to gaseous effluents from Unit-1 for 2013 was 4.06E-3 mrem, which is 0.03% of the per unit annual limit of fifteen (15) mrem. The resultant maximum offsite organ dose due to gaseous effluents from Unit-2 for 2013 was 1.1 9E-2 mrem, which is 0.08% of the per unit annual limit of fifteen (15) mrem. The maximum offsite dose from gaseous effluents in 2013 is less than the maximum offsite dose from gaseous effluents in 2012.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

1.

Regulatory Limits Technical Requirements 3.11.1 and 3.11.2 outline requirements for release of radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents, respectively. Concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid effluents and resulting dose are limited in unrestricted areas. Dose and dose rate due to radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents are limited in areas at or beyond the site boundary. Technical Requirement limits are listed in Table 1-1.

2.

Maximum Permissible Concentrations in Waterborne Effluents The concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to unrestricted areas is limited to 10 times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR Part 20 Appendix B Table 2, Column 2, for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases.

For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration is limited to 2.OE-04 pCi/ml total activity (TRO 3.11.1.1).

3.

Average Energy of Fission and Activation Gas The Calculation of Noble Gas Effluent Average Energies E-Bar Beta and Gamma for 2013 resulted in an Annual E-Bar Beta value of 3.16E-1 MeV and E-Bar Gamma value of 6.01 E-1 MeV.

4.

Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity Analyses of specific radionuclides in effluent samples are used to evaluate the radioactive composition and concentration of effluents.

5.

Methods of Quantifying Effluents

a.

Fission and Activation Gases: Gas samples are routinely collected monthly and analyzed with a high resolution (HPGE) detector system which incorporates a data reduction program to determine radionuclide composition in terms of specific activity. Data from the continuous vent monitors are used to determine the average concentration of noble gases. The high resolution (HPGE) isotopic scan is used to convert the continuous vent monitor activity to actual activity based on the determined nuclide mixture. The vent and sample flow rates are continuously monitored and the average flow rates for each vent are used to calculate the total activity released in a given time period. When the continuous monitors are out of service, manual grab samples are taken from each vent once every eight hours (once every four 1-8

hours for the standby gas treatment vent when standby gas treatment system is in service).

b.

Iodines: Iodine is continuously collected on charcoal or silver zeolite cartridges via an isokinetic sampling assembly in each vent. Filters are normally exchanged once per week and analyzed on a high resolution (HPGE) system. The daily average flow rates for the vents and sample pumps are averaged for the duration of the sampling period and a ratio of vent flow rate to sample flow rate is determined. The ratio is used to determine the total activity of each isotope released during the time period in question. When the continuous samplers are out of service, iodine is continuously collected from alternate sampling ports available on the sample lines or directly from the affected rooftop vent(s).

c.

Particulates: Particulates are continuously collected via an isokinetic sampling assembly in each vent. Filters are normally exchanged once per week and analyzed on a high resolution (HPGE) system. Flow rate corrections are performed as for iodines. When the continuous samplers are out of service, particulates are continuously collected from alternate sampling ports available on the sample lines or directly from the affected rooftop vent(s).

d.

Tritium: Airborne tritium is collected monthly via bubbler sampler. The sample is collected for one hour at a flow rate of approximately 1000 cc/min.

Tritium activity in the bubbler sample is determined by liquid scintillation counting. The liquid sample tritium concentration is then converted to air concentration by volume proportion.

e.

Waterborne Effluents: Each tank of liquid radwaste is sampled and analyzed for principal gamma emitters prior to release. Each sample tank is recirculated for a sufficient amount of time prior to sampling to ensure that a representative sample is obtained. Samples are analyzed on a high resolution (HPGE) system and release permits are generated based on the values obtained from the isotopic analysis and the most recent values for tritium, gross alpha, iron-55, and strontium-89 and -90. An aliquot based on release volume is saved and added to monthly and quarterly composite containers. The monthly tritium analysis is done in-house. A monthly composite is sent to a vendor laboratory for gross alpha analysis. A quarterly composite is sent to a vendor laboratory for iron-55, strontium-89 and-90 analyses.

The concentration of each radionuclide in each batch is multiplied by the volume of the batch to determine the total quantity of each nuclide released in each batch. The isotopic totals for each batch are summed to determine the total source term for the report period.

Summaries of the radionuclide total curie activities and average release rates are included in Tables 2-1 and 2-2. Carbon-14 (C-14) activity released is not included in Tables 2-1 or 2-2. See Section 4 for additional details on the calculation of C-14 released in 2013 from the Susquehanna station. If a radionuclide was not detected, zero activity was used for that isotope in dose calculations and the activity is listed as

"<MDC" (less than the minimum detectable concentration) in Tables 2-1 and 2-2.

<MDC indicates that no activity was positively detected in any sample when samples were analyzed with techniques which achieved the required Lower Limits of Detection (LLD) as specified in the Technical Requirement (TRO) Table 3.11.2.1-1, Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Sampling and Analysis Program. In all cases, the measurement laboratory MDCs were at or below the LLD levels required by Technical Requirements.

On September 15, 2013 at 00:08, a High alarm occurred on the Standby Gas Treatment (SBGT) system vent low range noble gas detector channel. The Unit-2 primary containment (drywell) was being purged at the time of the High alarm. The Unit-2 drywell purge was secured at 00:20 and the SBGT system was shutdown at 00:41. The High alarm did not result in entry into the Emergency Plan (no E-Plan release rate thresholds exceeded).

Unit-2 primary containment prior to purge samples did not identify any noble gas activity above analysis detection levels. There were no SBGT system vent samples or Unit-2 drywell samples obtained during the period of time when the SBGT system vent low range noble gas detector readings were elevated (to evaluate/determine a possible airborne effluent release source term). SBGT vent low range noble gas detector release rate data (associated with the alarm period) indicates a gradual increase then a decrease in the release rate, which is indicative of an airborne release and not an electronic or detector spike.

The radioactive source term assumed released on September 15, 2013 during the period of time when the low range noble gas detector readings were elevated is included in Tables 2-1 and 2-2. Resultant offsite dose due to the release on September 15, 2013 is included in the applicable tables in Section 4.

If a radionuclide was not detected, zero activity was used for that isotope in dose calculations and the activity is listed as "<MDC" (less than the miniumum detectable concentration) in Tables 2-3 and 2-4. <MDC indicates that no activity was positively detected in any sample when samples were analyzed with techniques which achieved the required Lower Limits of Detection (LLD) as specified in the Technical Requirement 3.11.1.1-1, Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program. In all cases, the measurement laboratory MDCs were at or below the LLD levels required by Technical Requirements. The following are typical measurement laboratory MDCs.

SECTION 3 METEOROLOGICAL DATA AND DISPERSION ESTIMATES 3-1

METEOROLOGY AND DISPERSION DATA Meteorological data have been collected at the PPL Susquehanna, LLC site since the W

early 1970s. At the present time, the meteorological system is based on a 300-foot high tower located approximately 1,000 feet to the southeast of the plant. Wind sensors are mounted at the 10m and 60m elevations on this tower. Vertical temperature differential is measured with redundant sensor pairs between the 10m and 60m levels.

Sigma theta (the standard deviation of horizontal wind direction) is calculated from wind direction at both levels. Dew point and ambient temperature sensors are present at the 10m level. Precipitation is measured at ground level.

A back-up meteorological tower was erected in 1982.

It is a 10m tower providing alternate measurements of wind speed, wind direction, and sigma theta.

A 10m downriver meteorological tower is also available. This tower measures wind speed, wind direction, sigma theta, temperature and dew point.

Meteorological data are transmitted to the plant Control Room, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility for emergency response availability, and ABSG Consulting, Inc.

ABSG Consulting, Inc., located in Rockville, Maryland, provides meteorological consulting services to PPL Susquehanna, LLC.

Regulatory Guide 1.23 (Safety Guide 23) requires at least 90% data recovery for meteorological instrumentation. During 2013, all meteorological instrumentation met the 90% data recovery requirement. Table 3-1 lists the percent valid data recovery values for the parameters monitored as part of the PPL Susquehanna Meteorological Monitoring Program.

Dispersion modeling for effluents from normal operation is done using the MIDAS system XDCALC program, a straight-line Gaussian plume model designed to estimate average relative concentration.

The model was developed in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.111. For periods when the wind speed is calm, the actual wind direction that last occurred is used.

XDCALC and the XQINTR program that interpolates X/Q values to exact locations both use terrain correction factors to account for the temporal and spatial variations in the airflow in the region.

A straight-line trajectory model assumes that a constant mean wind transports and diffuses effluents in the direction of airflow at the release point within the entire region of interest. The terrain correction factors were taken from FSAR Table 2.3-128.

Tables 3-2 and 3-3 provide the joint frequency distribution of wind speed and direction (as a function of delta temperature) at the 10 and 60 meter elevations of the primary meteorological tower.

Table 3-4 lists no decay, undepleted X/Q values at various distances from the site. Table 3-5 lists 2.26 day decay, undepleted X/Q values at various distances from the site. Table 3-6 lists 8-day decay, depleted X/Q values at various distances from the site and Table 3-7 is a listing of D/Q (relative deposition) values at various distances from the site.

SECTION 4 DOSE MEASUREMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS 4-1

Radioloaical Imoact on Man Sampling and analysis of airborne and waterborne effluents were performed in 0

accordance with the frequencies, types of analysis, and Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) outlined in the PPL Susquehanna, LLC Technical Requirements Manual.

Radioactive material was detected in some of the airborne and waterborne effluent samples analyzed. Dose calculations using measured and calculated effluent activity levels, meteorological data from the current reporting period and average river flow dilution factors resulted in estimated doses to individuals at levels below 10 CFR 20 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix I limits. Direct radiation resulting from plant operation (reported in the 2013 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report) contributed a maximum of 7.23E-1 mrem (measured at location 9S2 and based on an occupancy time by a member of the public of 20 hours2.314815e-4 days 0.00556 hours 3.306878e-5 weeks 7.61e-6 months per quarter) at the Protected Area Boundary south of the plant. Based on airborne effluent sample data, the maximum organ (including thyroid)/total body dose is 1.58E-2 mrem (CHILD, LUNG Table 4-4). The maximum organ/total body dose from all liquid effluent is 1.72E-2 mrem (ADULT, GILLI Table 4-2). Conservatively adding the maximum organ/total body dose from liquid and gaseous effluent and the maximum total body dose determined from direct radiation results in a dose of 7.56E-1 mrem, which is 3.0% of the 40CFR1 90 limit of 25 mrem to total body/organ (except thyroid) and 1.0% of the 40CFR1 90 limit of 75 mrem to the thyroid.

Doses to a maximally exposed member of the public from waterborne effluents are calculated for fish ingestion and shoreline exposure at the plant outfall, and drinking water ingestion at Danville, PA. Site specific parameters used in the calculations for the Danville receiver, specific for actual average blowdown and river level for the entire year are shown in Table 4-1.

Summaries of maximum individual doses resulting from airborne and waterborne radioactive effluent releases from each unit are given in Table 4-2. Meteorological data from Section 3 were used to calculate the dose from airborne effluents.

The Radioactive Effluent Release Report includes an assessment of the radiation dose from radioactive effluents to members of the public within the site boundary.

Within the Site Boundary there are several areas frequented by members of the public. There are no significant exposure pathways from waterborne effluents in these areas. Doses from airborne effluent are calculated for members of the public for the following locations: Riverlands Energy Information Center, the Towers Club, and residence with the maximum X/Q value; the garden, dairy and meat producing farm with the maximum D/Q value; and the site boundary with the maximum X/Q value. Summaries of the calculated maximum doses within the site boundary and selected locations beyond the site boundary resulting from airborne effluents are presented in Table 4-4. The above referenced locations are shown on Figure 4-1.

In the area comprising the Riverlands recreation area, which surrounds the Energy Information Center, three pathways of radiation exposure can be identified: plume, ground, and inhalation. There are no significant exposure pathways from waterborne effluents in this area. There are approximately 100,000 visitors to the Riverlands/Energy Information Center complex each year. For dose calculations, it is assumed the visitor stays in the area for one hour. The calculated dose rate and collective dose for visitors to the Riverlands/Energy Information Center during 2013 are shown on Table 4-3.

Use of the RETDAS code yields calculated doses for the Riverlands area for the report period. These doses assume an occupancy factor of 100% for a member of the public during 2013. These calculated dose values are shown on Table 4-4.

In Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 2, "Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste", the NRC has recommended that U.S. nuclear power plants evaluate whether Carbon-14 (C-

14) is a "principal radionuclide", and if so, report the amount of C-14 released.

Radioactive effluent releases of C-14 have not increased but the decline in releases of other radionuclides has resulted in C-14 possibly becoming more prominent, specifically in airborne effluents. This regulatory guidance has led to an industry initiative to evaluate and report C-14 in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

Information for C-14 dose impact is included as supplemental information in this report. Reportable values for dose impact do not include C-14 contribution. C-14, with a half-life of 5730 years, is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon produced by cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere. Nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s significantly increased the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere. C-14 is also produced in commercial nuclear reactors, but the amounts produced are much less than those produced naturally or from weapons testing.

4-3

In December 2010 the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) published Report 1021106, "Estimation of Carbon-14 in Nuclear Power Plant Gaseous Effluents",

which provides conservative technical guidance to support the calculation of C-14 released in radioactive effluents. In a BWR the majority of C-14 is generated in the reactor core by neutron activation of reactor coolant, specifically 170(n,a) 14C. Thus C-14 generation is directly proportional to reactor power. As documented in the EPRI report (for a BWR), approximately 99% of the C-14 produced in the reactor core is discharged as gaseous effluent (primarily as C0 2) through the offgas system. The remaining 1% is released in the form of solid radwaste. There is minimal (<1%) C-14 released in the liquid effluent pathway.

In October of 2012 PPL Susquehanna, in conjunction with an offsite lab, performed sampling and analysis for airborne effluent C-14 released from the station via each units offgas system.

Since both Susquehanna units are essentially identical in reactor design, a single value for the C-14 release rate (in the CO 2 form from the offgas system sample results) is used in the calculation of C-14 released from each unit. The release rate value is corrected to 100% power then scaled to the fraction of full power year for each unit. The fraction of a full power year is calculated as the Effective Full Power Days for the year in question divided by 365 to get the fraction of effective vs full year operation.

Based on the above outlined methodology, approximately 42 Curies of C-14 were released in gaseous effluents in 2013.

The airborne effluent pathway with the highest offsite dose potential (for C-14 releases) is the vegetation ingestion pathway. The maximum expected annual dose from C-14 released from Susquehanna Unit-1 (3.39E-1 mrem) and Unit-2 (3.13E-1 mrem) has been calculated based on methodology in Regulatory Guide 1.109 and includes site specific parameters (e.g., nearest garden with highest X/Q value, producing both broad leaf and non-broad leaf vegetation). The maximum organ dose from airborne effluent C-14 released from the Susquehanna station in 2013 is well below the 10CFR50, Appendix I, ALARA design objective (i.e., 15 mrem/yr per unit). The annual dose to the maximally exposed individual from all gaseous releases of C-14 (calculated by the above referenced methodology) is 6.52E-1 mrem to the critical organ (bone) and 1.30E-1 mrem to the total body.

Conservatively adding the maximum dose (calculated based on liquid and gaseous effluent sample results combined with direct radiation results) referenced on page 4-2 to the maximum dose due to the calculated release of C-14 (6.52E-1 mrem, CHILD, BONE) bounds the dose that any member of the public receives from station operations to 1.41 mrem, which is 6% of the 40CFR1 90 limit of 25 mrem to total body/organ (except thyroid) and 2% of the 40CFR1 90 limit of 75 mrem to the thyroid.

SECTION 6 MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS MANUAL (TRM),

FSAR, 40CFR190 AND NEI GROUNDWATER PROTECTION INITIATIVE REPORTING 6-1

1. TRM Action 3.11.1.4.F.2 required the reporting of Liquid Radwaste Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation inoperability not corrected in a timely manner.

The Liquid Radwaste Discharge Radiation Monitor was declared inoperable at 0112 on 6/12/13 (requiring entry into TRO 3.11.1.4 Condition B) due to high detector background and problems with the sample pump tripping on flow. Multiple attempts were made to return the monitor to service but problems were discovered with the sample pump, discharge valve and the sample flow switch. Replacement parts were ordered to make the needed repairs. TRO 3.11.1.4 Condition F was entered at 0113 on 7/13/13 due to exceeding the 30 day return to service requirement of TRO 3.11.1.4 Condition B. The Liquid Radwaste Discharge Radiation Monitor was repaired and declared operable at 1355 on 7/15/13.

2. TRM Action 3.11.1.5.C.1 requires the reporting of Radioactive Liquid Process Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation inoperability not corrected in a timely manner, or if required sampling/analysis was not performed during the inoperable period.

On 5/10/13 at 0330 the Unit-2 Service Water Radiation Monitor was declared inoperable and TRO 3.11.1.5 Condition B was entered. Additionally, TRO 3.11.1.5 was in affect for the Unit-2A and B RHR Service Water Radiation Monitors. TRO 3.11.1.5 Required Action B.1.2 requires sampling and analysis once every 8 hours9.259259e-5 days 0.00222 hours 1.322751e-5 weeks 3.044e-6 months when the associated pathway is in-service. Per TRO 3.11.1.5 Required Action B.1.2, a Unit-2 Service Water sample was due on 5/13/13 at 0530. Due to miscommunication between Chemistry and Operations, the Unit-2 Service Water sample which was required on 5/13/13 at 0530 was not obtained/analyzed until 0830 on 5/13/13.

3. TRM Action 3.11.2.6.K requires an explanation for Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation required actions and completion times not met.

None to report for 2013.

4. TRM Action 3.11.4.1.F.2 requires reporting the cause of the unavailability of milk or fresh leafy vegetable samples and identify the new locations for obtaining replacements.

On 6/3/13 a milk sample was unavailable from the Drasher Farm (location 1 0D3, 3.5 miles SSW) due to owners had discontinued dairy farming.

Location 10D3 was one of the three indicator milk sampling locations required by TRM Table 3.11.4.1-1. No alternate milk sampling indicator locations remain (who would participate in the REMP) within a 5 mile radius of the station. In response to the loss of milk sampling location 10D3, broadleaf 6-2

vegetation sampling was initiated (within 30 days of loss of milk sample location) at indicator locations, Pumpkin Hill Farm (8C1, 2.9 miles SSE) and control location, Dancing Hen Farm (15G1, 11.4 miles NW). Additionally, broadleaf sampling was initiated at indicator location Steve Bodnar Garden (10B5, 1.3 miles SSW) in August 2013.

5. TRM Action 3.11.4.2.A requires reporting when land use census identifies a new location which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than the values currently being calculated in Requirement 3.11.2.3 (Gaseous Effluent Dose due to Iodine, Tritium, and Radionuclides in Particulate Form).

None to report for 2013.

6. TRM Action 3.11.4.2.B requires reporting when land use census identifies locations that yield a calculated dose or dose commitment (via the same exposure pathway) 20 percent greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained in accordance with Requirement 3.1.1.4.1 (Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program).

None to report for 2013.

7. The limits outlined in 40CFR190.10 (Environmental Standards for the Uranium Fuel Cycle-Standards for Normal Operations) were not exceeded by station operations during 2013. Refer to Section 2 and Section 4 for specific values.

8. FSAR Section 11.6.11 requires the reporting of airborne radioactivity detected in the Low Level Radwaste Holding Facility.

Only naturally occurring airborne radioactivity was detected above analysis MDC's in air samples from the Low Level Radwaste Holding Facility during 2013.

9. The PPL Susquehanna station has implemented an Action Plan in response to the NEI Initiative on Groundwater Protection. Part of the Action Plan includes the assessment of the current groundwater monitoring program.

Groundwater is sampled and analyzed quarterly as part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). REMP groundwater sampling locations are defined in ODCM-QA-008 Attachment G. In August 2006, additional groundwater sampling was initiated at locations which are not listed in the ODCM. The additional locations are three manholes which collect water from a perimeter drain system. The perimeter drain system consists of perforated piping installed just above the footing along the exterior base of the vertical walls of the reactor, turbine and radwaste buildings. Outlined in Table 6-1 are the tritium analysis results from sampling of the perimeter drain system. No nuclear by-product gamma emitting radionuclides were identified 6-3

above analysis MDC's for the perimeter drain samples in 2013. The tritium results reported in Table 6-1 did not exceed any Reporting Level thresholds in the PPL Susquehanna Technical Requirements Manual or any reporting criteria established in response to the NEI Groundwater Protection Initiative.

Figure 6-1 is a trend graph of airborne and waterborne effluent tritium releases from the PPL Susquehanna Station starting in 1982.

SECTION 8 EFFLUENT FROM SYSTEMS CLASSIFIED AS INSIGNIFICANT EFFLUENT PATHWAYS 8-1

EFFLUENT FROM SYSTEMS CLASSIFIED AS INSIGNIFICANT EFFLUENT PATHWAYS Insignificant Effluent Pathways are: 1) evaporation from the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Condensate Storage Tanks (CST's); 2) evaporation from the common Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST); 3) gaseous effluent from the Hydrogen Seal Oil, Main Turbine and RFPT lubrication oil mist eliminators which vent to the turbine building roofs.

These pathways are not continuously monitored. The CSTs and RWST are sampled monthly to determine the concentration of radionuclides present in these tanks. Tritium analysis on these samples is performed quarterly. Airborne release to the environment from the tanks is estimated based on conservative estimates of the evaporation rates from each of the tanks using a modified method established within Chapter 7 of EPA AP-42. A conservative carry-over fraction of radionuclides from the water to the evaporated liquid is then assumed. Airborne release to the environment from the demisters assumes the average moisture (condensate) concentration of the lubrication oil as measured via sampling during 2013. The calculation also assumes immediate removal of 100% of the water by the oil mist eliminators as it passes through the turbines.

The annual release of tritium, iodines and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days was calculated based on the conservative assumptions outlined above. The calculated releases are shown in Table 8-1. All nuclides, except for tritium, released from insignificant effluent pathways are negligible compared to the airborne release data shown in Tables 2-1 and 2-2. The maximum dose to the public from a release of 0.97 Ci of tritium is calculated to be 8.05E-3 mrem (child). This is a fraction of the maximum dose from airborne effluent reported in Section 4.
