I. Summary and Conclusions In 2015, the Quad Cities Generating Station released to the environment through the radioactive effluent liquid and gaseous pathways approximately 124 curies of noble gas, 1.1 BE-02 curies of fission and activation products, 29 curies of Carbon-14 and approximately 85 curies of tritium. The dose from both liquid and gaseous effluents was conservatively calculated for the Maximum Exposed Member of the Public. The results of those calculations and their comparison to the allowable limits were as follows:

The doses as a result of the radiological effluents released from the Quad Cities Generating Station were a very small percentage of the allowable limits, with the exception of 40CFR190 whole body radiation which was calculated to be 31.0%
of the 25 mrem/yr limit. The largest component of 40CFR 190 dose is attributable to BWR skyshine from N-16. This value is conservatively calculated for the hypothetical maximum exposed member of the public.
This report on the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS) by Exelon covers the period 01January2015 through 31 December 2015. During thattime period, 1.556 analyses were performed on 1444 samples. In assessing all the data gathered for this report and comparing these results with preoperational data, it was concluded that the operation of QCNPS had no adverse radiological impact on the environment.
Page 7of122
Surface water samples were analyzed for concentrations of gross beta, tritium, iron, nickel and gamma emitting nuclides. Ground water samples were analyzed for concentrations of tritium and gamma emitting nuclides. No fission or activation products were detected. Gross beta activities detected were consistent with those detected in previous years and consistent with the control stations.
Fish (commercially and recreationally important species) and sediment samples were analyzed for concentrations of gamma emitting nuclides. No fission or activation products were detected in fish samples. Cesium-137 was not detected above the required LLD in any sediment samples.
- Air particulate samples were analyzed for concentrations of gross beta and gamma emitting nuclides. No fission or activation products were detected.
- . High sensitivity 1-131 analyses were performed on air samples. No 1-131 was detected.
Cow milk samples were analyzed for concentrations of 1-131 and gamma emitting nuclides. No 1-131 was detected. Concentrations of naturally occurring isotopes (K-40 approximately 1200 pCi/L) were consistent with those detected in previous years. No fission or activation products were detected.
Food product samples were analyzed for concentrations of gamma emitting nuclides. No fission or activation products were detected.
Environmental gamma radiation measurements were performed quarterly using Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeters (OSLO). Beginning in 2012, Exelon changed the type of dosimetry used for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters were deployed and Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD) were discontinued.
The relative comparison to control locations remains valid. OSLO technology is different than that used in a TLD but has the same purpose (to measure direct radiation).
II. Introduction The Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS), consisting of two 2,957 MWth boiling water reactors owned and operated by Exelon Corporation, is located in Cordova, Illinois along the Mississippi River. Unit No. 1 went critical on 16 March 1972. Unit No. 2 went critical on 02 December 1973. The site is located in northwestern Illinois, approximately 182 miles west of Chicago, Illinois.
This report covers those analyses performed by Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) and Landauer on samples collected during the period 1 January 2015 through 31 December 2015.

A. Objective of the REMP The objectives of the REMP are to:
- 1. Provide data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the site environs.
- 2. Evaluate the relationship between quantities of radioactive material released from the plant and resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. -
B. Implementation of the Objectives The implementation of the objectives is accomplished by:
- 1. Identifying significant exposure pathways.
- 2. Establishing baseline radiological data of media within those pathways.
- 3. Continuously monitoring those media before and during Station operation to assess Station radiological effects (if any) on man and the environment.
C. Radiation and Radioactivity All matter is made of atoms. An atom is the smallest part into which matter can be broken down and still maintain all its chemical properties.
Nuclear radiation is energy, in the form of waves or particles that is given off by unstable, radioactive atoms. Radioactive material exists naturally and has always been a part of our environment. The earth's crust, for example, contains radioactive uranium, radium, thorium and potassium.
Some radioactivity is a result of nuclear weapons testing. Examples of radioactive fallout that is normally present in environmental samples are cesium-137 and strontium-90. Some examples of radioactive materials released from a nuclear power plant are cesium-137, iodine-131, strontium-90 and cobalt-60. Radiation is measured in units of millirem; much like temperature is measured in degrees. A millirem is a measure of the biological effect of the energy deposited in tissue. The natural and man-made radiation dose received in one year by the average American is 300 to 400 mrem (References 2, 3, 4 in Table 11.D-1 below).
Radioactivity is measured in curies. A curie is that amount of radioactive material needed to produce 37,000,000,000 nuclear disintegrations per second. This is an extremely large amount of radioactivity in comparison to environmental radioactivity. That is why radioactivity in the environment Page 9of122
is measured in picocuries. One picocurie is equal to one trillionth of a curie.
D. Sources of Radiation As mentioned previously, naturally occurring radioactivity has always been a part of our environment. Table II D-1 shows the sources and doses of radiation from natural and man-made sources.
Table 11.D-1 Radiation Sources and Corresponding Doses (1)

(4) Primarily from cigarette smoking (4.6 mrem), commercial air travel (3.4 mrem),
building materials (3.5 mrem), and mining and agriculture (0.8 mrem)
(5) Industrial, security, medical, educational, and research Cosmic radiation from the sun and outer space penetrates the earth's atmosphere and continuously bombards us with rays and charged particles. Some of this cosmic-radiation interacts with gases and particles in the atmosphere, making them radioactive in turn. These radioactive byproducts from cosmic ray bombardment are referred to as cosmogenic radionuclides. Isotopes such as beryllium-? and carbon-14 are formed in this way. Exposure to cosmic and cosmogenic sources of radioactivity results in about 33 mrem of radiation dose per year.
Additionally, natural radioactivity is in our body and in the food we eat (about 29 millirem/yr), the ground we walk on (about 21 millirem/yr) and Page 10of122
the air we breathe (about 228 millirem/yr). The majority of a person's annual dose results from exposure to radon and thoron in the air we breathe. These gases and their radioactive decay products arise from the decay of naturally occurring uranium, thorium and radium in the soil and building products such as brick, stone and concrete. Radon and thoron levels vary greatly with location, primarily due to changes in the concentration of uranium and thorium in the soil. Residents at some locations in Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have a
- higher annual dose as a result of higher levels of radon/thoron gases in these areas. In total, these various sources of naturally-occurring radiation and radioactivity contribute to a total dose of about 311 mrem per year.
In addition to natural radiation, we are normally exposed to radiation from a number of man-made sources. The single largest doses from man-made sources result from therapeutic and diagnostic applications of x-rays and radiopharmaceuticals. The annual dose to an individual in the U.S. from medical and dental exposure is about 300 mrem. Consumer products, such as televisions and smoke detectors, contribute about 13 mrem/yr. Much smaller.doses result from weapons fallout (less than 1 mrem/yr) and nuclear power plants. Typically, the average person in the United States receives about 314 mrem per year from man-made sources.
Ill. Program Description A. Sample Collection Samples for the QCNPS REMP were collected for Exelon Nuclear by ATI Environmental Inc. (Midwest Labs). This section describes the general sampling methods used by Environmental Inc. to obtain environmental samples for the QCNPS REMP in 2015. Sample locations and descriptions can be found in Table B-1 and Figures B-1 and B-2, Appendix B.
Aquatic Environment The aquatic environment was evaluated by performing radiological analyses on samples of surface water, ground water, fish and sediment.
Surface water samples were collected weekly from two locations, Q-33 and Q-34 (Control). Ground water samples were collected quarterly from two locations, Q-35 and Q-36. All water samples were collected in new containers, which were rinsed with source water prior to collection.
Fish samples comprising the edible portions of commercially and Page 11of122
recreationally important species were collected semiannually at two locations, Q-24 and Q-29 (Control). Sediment samples composed of recently deposited substrate were collected at two locations semiannually, Q-39 and Q-40 (Control).
Atmospheric Environment The atmospheric environment was evaluated by performing radiological analyses on samples of air particulate, and airborne iodine. Airborne iodine and particulate samples were collected and analyzed at ten locations (Q-01, Q-02, Q-03, Q-04, Q-13, Q-16, Q-37, Q-38, Q-41 and Q-42 (control)). Airborne iodine and particulate samples were obtained at each location, using a vacuum pump with charcoal and glass fiber filters attached. The pumps were run continuously and sampled air at the rate of approximately one cubic foot per minute. The air particulate filters and air iodine samples were replaced weekly and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Terrestrial Environment The terrestrial environment was evaluated by performing radiological analyses on samples of milk and food product. Milk samples were collected biweekly at one location (Q-26) from May through October, and monthly from November through April. All samples were collected in new plastic containers from the bulk tank, preserved with sodium bisulfite, and shipped promptly to the laboratory.
Food products were collected annually in July at five locations (Q-Control, Q-Quad 1, Q-Quad 2, Q-Quad 3, and Q-Quad 4). Various types of broadleaf and root vegetables were collected and placed in new plastic bags, and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
- Ambient Gamma Radiation Beginning in 2012, Exelon changed the type of dosimetry used for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLO) were deployed and Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD) were discontinued. The relative comparison to control locations remains valid. OSLO technology is different than that used in a TLD but has the same purpose (to measure direct radiation).
Each location consisted of 2 OSLO sets. The OSLO locations were placed on and around the QCNPS site as follows: An inner ring consisting of 15 locations (Q-101, Q-102, Q-103, Q-104, Q-105, Q-106, Q-107, Q-108, Q-109, Q-111, Q-112, Q-113, Q-114, Q-115 and Q-116).
Page 12 of 122
These OSLDs are located in 15 of the 16 meteorological sectors in the general area of the site boundary (approximately 0.1 - 3 miles from the site). There are no OSLDs located in the SSW sector because this sector is located over water.
An outer ring consisting of 16 locations (Q-201, Q-202, Q-203, Q-204, Q-205, Q-206, Q-207, Q-208, Q-209, Q-210, Q-211, Q-212, Q-213, Q-214, Q-215 and Q-216). These OSLDs are located in each of the 16 meteorological sectors (approximately 6.0 - 8.0 km from the site)
An other set consisting of nine locations (Q-01, Q-02, Q-03, Q-04, Q-13, Q-16, Q-37, Q-38 and Q-41 ). The locations are at each of the air sample stations around the site.
The balance of one location (Q-42) is the control site.
The specific OSLO locations were determined by the following criteria:
- 1. The presence of relatively dense population;
- 2. Site meteorological data taking into account distance and elevation for each of the sixteen 22.5 degree sectors around the site, where estimated annual dose from QCNPS, if any, would be most significant;
- 3. On hills free from local obstructions and within sight of the stack (where practical);
- 4. Near the closest dwelling to the stack in the prevailing downwind direction.
The OSLDs were exchanged quarterly and sent to Landauer for analysis.
B. Sample Analysis This section describes the general analytical methodologies used by TBE to analyze the environmental samples for radioactivity for the QCNPS REMP in 2015 and the type of analyses. The analytical procedures used by the TBE laboratory a~e listed in Table B-2.
In order to achieve the stated objectives, the current program includes the following analyses:
- 1. Concentrations of beta emitters in surface water and air pa rticu Iates.
Page 13of122
- 2. Concentrations of gamma emitters in ground and surface water, air particulates, milk, fish, sediment and vegetation.
- 3. Concentrations of tritium in ground and surface water.
- 4. Concentrations of 1-131 in air and milk.
- 5. Ambient gamma radiation levels at various site environs.
C. Data Interpretation The radiological and direct radiation. data collected prior to Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station becoming operational were used as a baseline with which these operational data were compared. For the purpose of this report, Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station was considered operational at initial criticality. In addition, data were compared to previous years' operational data for consistency and trending. Several factors were important in the interpretation of the data:
- 1. Lower Limit of Detection and Minimum Detectable Concentration.
The lower limit of detection (LLD) is defined as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that would yield a net count (above background) that would be detected with only a 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal. The LLD is intended as an a priori (a before the fact) estimate of a system (including instrumentation, procedure and sample type) and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) criteria for the presence of activity. All analyses were designed to achieve the required QCNPS detection capabilities for environmental sample analysis.
The minimum detectable concentration (MDC) is defined above with the exception that the measurement is an a posteriori (after the fact) estimate of the presence of activity.
- 2. Net Activity Calculation and Reporting of Results Net activity for a sample is calculated by subtracting background activity from the sample activity. Since the REMP measures extremely small changes in radioactivity in the environment, background variations may result in sample activity being lower than the background activity effecting a negative number. An MDC is reported in all cases where positive activity was not detected.
Gamma spectroscopy results for each type of sample were grouped as follows:
Page 14 of122
For surface water, groundwater and vegetation 12 nuclides, Mn-54, Co-58, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65, Zr-95, Nb-95, 1-131, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ba-140 and La-140 were reported.
For fish, sediment, air particulate and milk 11 nuclides, Mn-54, Co-58, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65, Nb-95, Zr-95, Cs-134, Cs-137 and Ba-140 and La-140 were reported.
For air iodine, one nuclide, 1-131 was reported Means and standard deviations of the results were calculated. The standard deviations represent the variability of measured results for different samples rather than single analysis uncertainty.

IV. Results and Discussion A. Aquatic Environment
- 1. Surface Water Samples were taken weekly and composited monthly at two locations (Q-33 and Q-34). Of these locations only Q-33, located downstream, could be affected by Quad Cities' effluent releases.
The following analyses were performed:
Gross Beta Samples from all locations were analyzed for concentrations of gross beta (Table C-1.1, Appendix C). Gross beta activity was detected in 19 of 20 samples. The values ranged from 2.6 to 5.3 pCi/L. Concentrations detected were consistent with those detected in previous years (Figure C-1, Appendix C). The required LLD was met.
Tritium Quarterly composites of weekly collections were analyzed for tritium activity (Table C-1.2, Appendix C). No tritium activity was detected (Figure C-2, Appendix C). The 2000 pCi/L OCDM and contractually required 200 pCi/L LLDs were met.
Page 16 of122
Iron and Nickel Quarterly composites of monthly collections were analyzed for Fe-55 and Ni-63 (Table C-1.2, Appendix C). No Fe-55 or Ni-63 were detected. The required LLDs were met.
Gamma Spectrometry Samples from both locations were analyzed monthly for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-1.3, Appendix C). No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
- 2. Ground Water Quarterly grab samples were collected at two locations (Q-35 and Q-36). Both locations could be affected by Quad Cities' effluent releases. The following analyses were performed:
Tritium Quarterly grab samples from the locations were analyzed for tritium activity (Table C-11.1, Appendix C). No tritium activity was detected (Figure C-3, Appendix C). The 2000 pCi/L OCDM and contractually required 200 pCi/L LLDs were met.
Gamma Spectrometry Samples from all locations were analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-11.2, Appendix C). No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
- 3. Fish Fish samples comprised of various commercially and recreationally important species were collected at two locations (Q-24 and Q-29) semiannually. Location Q-24 could be affected by Quad Cities' effluent releases. The following analysis was performed:
Gamma Spectrometry The edible portion of fish samples from both locations were analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-111.1, Appendix C).
No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
Page 17 of 122
- 4. Sediment Aquatic sediment samples were collected at two locations (Q-39 and Q-40) semiannually. The location Q-39, located downstream, could be affected by Quad Cities' effluent releases. The following analysis was performed:
Gamma Spectrometry Sediment samples from Q-39 and Q-40 were analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-IV.1, Appendix C). Cesium-137 was not detected in any of the samples. No other nuclides potentially associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
B. Atmospheric Environment
- 1. Airborne
- a. Air Particulates Continuous air particulate samples were collected from ten locations on a weekly basis. The ten locations were separated into three groups: Near-field samplers within 4 km (2.5 miles) of the site (Q-01, Q-02, Q-03 and Q-04),
far-field samplers between 4 and 10 km (2.5 - 6.2 miles) from the site (Q-13, Q-16, Q-37, Q-38 and Q-41) and the Control sampler between 10 and 30 km (6.2 - 18.6 miles) from the site (Q-42). The following analyses were performed:
Gross Beta Weekly samples were analyzed for concentrations of beta emitters (Table C-V.1 and C-V.2, Appendix C).
Comparison of results among the four groups aid in determining the effects, if any, resulting from the operation of QCNPS. The results from the near-field locations (Group I) ran~ed from 5 to 34 E-03 pCi/m with a mean of 17 E-03 3
pCi/m . The results from the far-field locations (Group II) 3 ranged from 5 to 33 E-03 pCi/m with a mean of 17 E-03 pCi/m 3 . The results from the Control location (Group Ill) ranged from 7 to 35 E-03 pCi/m 3 with a mean of 18 E-03 3
pCi/m . Comparison of the 2015 air particulate data with previous year's data indicate no effects from the operation of Page 18of122
QCNPS. In addition comparisons of the weekly mean values for 2015 indicate no notable differences among the three groups (Figures C-4 through C-9, Appendix C).
Gamma Spectrometry Weekly samples were composited quarterly and analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-V.3, Appendix C).
No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
- b. Airborne Iodine Continuous air samples were collected from ten locations (Q-01, Q-02, Q-03, Q-04, Q-13, Q-16, Q-37, Q-38, Q-41 and Q-42) and analyzed weekly for 1-131 (Table C-Vl.1, Appendix C). All results were less than the LLD for 1-131.
- 2. Terrestrial
- a. Milk Samples were collected from one location (Q-26) biweekly May through October and monthly November through April.
The following analyses were performed:
lodine-131 Milk samples from the location were analyzed for concentrations of 1-131 (Table C-Vll.1, Appendix C). No 1-131 was detected and the LLD was met.
Gamma Spectrometry Each milk sample was analyzed for concentrations of gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-Vll.2, Appendix C). No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
- b. Food Products Food product samples were collected at four locations plus a control location (Q-Control, Q-Quad 1, Q-Quad 2, Q-Quad 3 and Q-Quad 4) annually during growing season. Four locations, (Q-Quad 1, Q-Quad 2, Q-Quad 3 and Q-Quad 4) could be affected by Quad Cities' effluent releases. The following analysis was performed:
Page 19of122
Gamma Spectrometry Samples from all locations were analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-Vlll.1, Appendix C). No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
C. Ambient Gamma Radiation Ambient gamma radiation levels were measured utilizing optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters. Forty-one OSLO locations were established around the site. Results of OSLO measurements are listed in Tables C-IX.1 to C-IX.3, Appendix C.
All of the OSLO measurements were below 30 mRem/quarter, with a range of 17 .1 to 29.0 mRem/quarter. A comparison of the Inner Ring, Outer Ring and Other data to the Control Location data, indicate that the ambient gamma radiation levels from all the locations were comparable.
D. Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation QCNPS commenced use of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) in Dec 2005. There are no measurable changes in ambient gamma radiation levels as a result of ISFSI operations.
E. Land Use Survey A Land Use Survey conducted during August 2015 around QCNPS was performed by ATI Environmental Inc. (Midwest Labs) for Exelon Nuclear to comply with the Quad Cities' Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. The purpose of the survey was to document the nearest resident and milk producing animals in each of the sixteen 22.5 degree sectors around the site. The results from the land use census have not identified any locations, which yield a calculated dose or dose commitment, via the same pathway, that is at least 20% greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained. The results of this survey are summarized below:

G. Summary of Results - Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program The primary and secondary laboratories analyzed Performance Evaluation (PE) samples of air particulate, air iodine, milk, soil, vegetation and water matrices (Appendix D). The PE samples, supplied by Analytics Inc., Environmental Resource Associates (ERA) and DOE's Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP), were evaluated against the following pre-set acceptance criteria:
- 1. Analytics Evaluation Criteria Analytics' evaluation report provides a ratio of laboratory results and Analytics' known value. Since flag values are not assigned by Analytics, TBE-ES evaluates the reported ratios based on internal QC requirements, which are based on the DOE MAPEP criteria.
Page 21of122
- 2. ERA Evaluation Criteria ERA's evaluation report provides an acceptance range for control and warning limits with associated flag values. ERA's acceptance limits are established per the USEPA, NELAC, state specific PT program requirements or ERA's SOP for the Generation of Performance Acceptance Limits, as applicable. The acceptance limits are either determined by a regression equation specific to each analyte or a fixed percentage limit promulgated under the appropriate regulatory document.
- 3. DOE Evaluation Criteria MAPEP's evaluation report provides an acceptance range with associated flag values.
The MAPEP defines three levels of performance: Acceptable (flag ="A"), Acceptable with Warning (flag ="W"), and Not
=
Acceptable (flag "N"). Performance is considered acceptable when a mean result for the specified analyte is +/- 20% of the reference value. Performance is acceptable with warning when a mean result falls in the range from +/-20% to +/-30% of the reference value (i.e., 20% <bias< 30%). If the bias is greater than 30%, the results are deemed not acceptable.
For the TBE laboratory, 129 out of 139 analyses performed met the specified acceptance criteria. Ten analyses (AP - Cr-51, U-234/233, Gr A, Sr-90; Soil Sr-90; Water - Ni-63, Sr-89, Sr-90, U natural; Vegetation Sr-90 samples) did not meet the specified acceptance criteria for the following reasons and were addressed through the TBE Corrective Action Program:
Note: The Department of Energy (DOE) Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP) samples are created to mimic conditions found at DOE sites which do not resemble typical environmental samples obtained at commercial nuclear power facilities.
- 1. Teledyne Brown Engineering's Analytics' June 2015 air particulate Cr-51 result of 323 +/- 45.5 pCi was higher than the known value of 233 pCi with a ratio of 1.39. The upper ratio of 1.30 (accepta_ble with warning) was exceeded. The air particulate sample is counted at a distance above the surface of the detector to avoid detector summing which could alter the results. Chromium-51 has the shortest half-life (27.7 days) and the lowest gamma energy (320.08 keV) of this mixed nuclide sample. Additionally, Cr-51 has only one gamma energy and also has a low intensity (9.38 gamma photons produced per 100 disintegrations). This geometry produces a Page 22 of 122
larger error for the Cr-51 and other gamma emitters as any distance from the detector decreases the counting rate and the probability of accurately detecting the nuclide energy. Taking into consideration the uncertainty, the activity of Cr-51 overlaps with the known value at a ratio of 1.19, which would .statistically be considered acceptable. NCR 15-18
- 2. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 soil Sr-90 result of 286 Total Bq/kg was lower than the known value of 653 Bq/kg, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 487 Bq/kg. The failure was due to incomplete digestion of the sample. Incomplete digestion of samples causes some of the sample to be left behind and is not present in the digested sample utilized for analysis. The procedure has been updated to include a more robust digestion using stirring during the heating phase. The MAPEP September 2014 soil Sr-90 series prior to this study was evaluated as acceptable with a result of 694 and an acceptance range of 601 -1115 Bq/kg. The MAPEP September 2015 series soil Sr-90 after this study was evaluated as acceptable with a result of 429 and an acceptance range of 298 - 553 Bq/kg. We feel the issue is specific to the March 2015 MAPEP sample. NCR 15-13
- 3. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 airparticulate U-234/233 result of 0.0211 +/- 0.0120 Sq/sample was higher than the known value of 0.0155 Sq/sample, exceeding the upper ,
acceptance range of 0.0202 Sq/sample. Although evaluated as a failure, taking into consideration the uncertainty, TBE's result would overlap with the known value, which is statistically considered acceptable. MAPEP spiked the sample with significantly more U-238 activity (a found to known ratio of 0.96) than the normal U-234/233. Due to the extremely low activity, it was difficult to quantify the U-234/233. NCR 15-13
- 4. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 air particulate gross alpha result of 0.448 Sq/sample was lower than the known value of 1.77 Sq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 0.53 Sq/sample. The instrument efficiency used for gross alpha is determined using a non-attenuated alpha standard. The MAPEP filter has the alphas embedded in the filter, requiring an attenuated efficiency. When samples contain alpha particles that are embedded in the sample media, due to the size of the alpha particle, some of the alpha particles are absorbed by the media and cannot escape to be counted. When the sample media absorbs the alpha particles this is known as self-absorption or attenuation.
The calibration must include a similar configuration/media to correct for the attenuation. In order to correct the low bias, TBE will Page 23 of 122
create an attenuated efficiency for MAPEP air particulate filters.
The MAPEP September series air particulate gross alpha result of 0.47 Sq/sample was evaluated as acceptable with a range of 0.24
- 1.53 Sq/sample. Unlike the MAPEP samples, air particulate Gross alpha ~nalyses for power plants are not evaluated as a direct count sample. Power plant air particulate filters for gross alpha go through an acid digestion process prior to counting and the digested material is analyzed. NCR 15-13
- 5. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP September water Ni-63 result of 11.8 +/- 10.8 Bq/l was higher than the known value of 8.55 Bq/l, exceeding the upper acceptance range of 11.12 Bq/L. The Ni-63 half-life is approximately 100 years. Nickel-63 is considered to be a "soft" or low energy beta emitter, which means that the beta energy is very low. The maximum beta energy for Ni-63 is approximately 65 keV, much lower than other more common nuclides such as Co-60 (maximum beta energy of 1549 keV). The original sample was run with a 10 ml aliquot which was not sufficient for the low level of Ni-63 in the sample. The rerun aliquot of 30 ml produced an acceptable result of 8.81 Bq/L. NCR 15-21
- 6. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP September air particulate Sr-90 result of 1.48 Sq/sample was lower than the known value of 2.18 Sq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 1.53 Sq/sample. In the past, MAPEP has added substances (unusual compounds found in DOE complexes) to various matrices that have resulted in incomplete removal of the isotope of interest for the laboratories analyzing the cross checks. TBE suspects that this may be the cause of this error. Many compounds, if not properly accounted for or removed in the sample matrix, can cause interferences to either indicate lower activity or higher activity. TBE will no longer analyze the air particulate Sr-90 through MAPEP but will participate in the Analytics cross check program to perform both Sr-89 and Sr-90 in the air particulate matrix. NCR 15-21
- 7. Teledyne Brown Engineering's .MAPEP September vegetation Sr-90 result of 0.386 Sq/sample was lower than the known value of 1.30 Sq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 0.91 Sq/sample. In the past, MAPEP has added substances (unusual compounds found in DOE complexes) to various matrices that have resulted in incomplete removal of the isotope of interest for the laboratories analyzing the cross checks. TBE suspects that this maybe the cause of this error. Many compounds, if not properly accounted for or removed in the sample matrix, can cause interferences to either indicat~ lower activity or higher activity.
Page 24of122
Results from previous performance evaluations were reviewed and shown to be acceptable. NCR 15-21
- 8. & 9.Teledyne Brown Engineering's ERA May water Sr-89/90 results of 45.2 and 28.0 pCi/L, respectively were lower than the known values of 63.2 and 41.9 pCi/L, respectively, exceeding the lower acceptance limits of 51.1 and 30.8 pCi/L, respectively. The yields were on the high side of the TBE acceptance range, which indicates the present of excess calcium contributed to the yield, resulting in low results. NCR 15-09
- 10. Teledyne Brown Engineering's ERA November water Uranium natural result of 146.9 pCi/L was higher than the known value of 56.2 pCi/L, exceeding the upper acceptance limit of 62.4 pCi/L.
The technician failed to dilute the original sample, but used the entfre 12 ml sample. When the results were recalculated without the dilution and using the 12 ml aliquot, the result of 57 .16 agreed with the assigned value of 56.2. NCR 15-19 For the ATI EIML laboratory, 90 of 94 analyses met the specified acceptance criteria. Four analyses (Water- Co-57, Fe-55; AP - Co-57; Soil - Sr-90) did not meet the specified acceptance criteria for the following reasons:
- 1. The Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory's MAPEP February 2015 water Co-57 result of 10.2 Bq/L was lower than the known value of 29.9 Bq/L, exceeding the lower control limit of 20.9 Bq/L.
The reported value should have been 27.84, which would have been evaluated as acceptable. A data entry error resulted in a non-acceptable result.
- 2. The Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory's MAPEP February 2015 AP Co-57 result of 0.04 Sq/sample was lower than the known value of 1.51 Bq/ sample, exceeding the lower control limit of 1.06 Sq/sample. The reported value should have been 1.58 Sq/sample, which would have been evaluated as acceptable. A data entry error resulted in a non-acceptable result.
- 3. The Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory's MAPEP August 2015 soil Sr-90 result of 231 Bq/kg was lower than the known value of 425 Bq/kg, exceeding the lower control limit of 298 Bq/kg. The incomplete separation of calcium from strontium caused a failed low result. The reanalysis result of 352 Bq/kg fell within acceptance criteria.
- 4. The Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory's MAPEP August 2015 water Fe-55 result of 4.2 Bq/L was lower than the known Page 25 of 122
value of 13.1 Bq/L, exceeding the lower control limit of 9.2 Bq/L.
The known activity was below the routine laboratory detection limits for the available aliquot fraction.
The Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program provides evidence of "in control" counting systems and methods, and that the laboratories are producing accurate and reliable data.

I. Summary and Conclusions This report on the Radiological Groundwater Protection Program (RGPP) conducted for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS) by Exelon Nuclear covers the period 01 January 2015 through 31 December 2015.
In 2006, Exelon undertook a Fleetwide Assessment of groundwater at and in the vicinity of its nuclear power generating.facilities for the presence of radionuclides.
The data collected from the Quad Cities Station as part of the Fleetwide Assessment was summarized in a report entitled "Hydrogeologic Investigation Report, Fleetwide Assessment, Quad Cities Generation Station, Cordova, Illinois", dated September 2006. This report was submitted to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) in September 2006. The Quad Cities Hydrogeologic Investigation Report concluded that tritium had not migrated off Site at detectable concentrations.
Following the Fleetwide Assessment, Exelon continued groundwater monitoring for radionuclides at the Site. As a result of this monitoring, Exelon detected higher than expected tritium levels in the vicinity of the station's Service Building and Turbine Building. Quad Cities undertook supplemental investigative activities to determine and characterize the source of the tritium. These investigative activities included completion of an aquifer pumping test, installation of sentinel monitoring wells in the vicinity of the Service Building and Turbine Building, and several additional rounds of hydraulic monitoring and groundwater sampling. The collected groundwater data was utilized to assist with an extensive underground piping inspection program to locate the source of the tritium.
In May 2008, during the underground piping inspection program, Exelon located a small leak in the Unit 1 Residual Heat Removal (RHR) suction line located near the Service Building/ Turbine Building area. The line was isolated and through further testing, Exelon determined it to be a source of the monitored tritium levels. In June 2008, the line was repaired, thereby eliminating this source of tritiated water.
In a letter dated June 5, 2008, Exelon informed the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) of its plan to prepare a Migration Control Plan (MCP) to minimize migration of the tritium plume offsite. The MCP was submitted to the IEPA July 17, 2008. The MCP listed Monitored Natural Attenuation as the preferred remediation option.
In 2012 Conestoga-Rovers & Associates (CRA) completed a five-year update hydrogeologic investigation report for the Station (NE/ 07-07, Hydrogeologic Investigation Report, dated November 2012). The referenced report summarized station activities since the 2006 hydrogeologic investigation report, including Page 97 of 122
changes at the Station as well as RGPP sampling activities and groundwater flow.
A 2011 change to the RGPP consisted of designating wells into categories. Well designation categories include background, detection, elevated, long-term shut down, plume and idle. The RGPP also requires the sampling of surface water locations that may be impacted due to a spill or release.
This report covers groundwater samples, collected from the environment on station property in 2015. During that time period, RGPP samples were collected from 43 locations.
2015 sample locations included thirty-six designated monitoring wells, two surface water monitoring points and five production wells (two of which are used for site drinking water). Sample frequency and analysis varies with well designation. Typical frequency/analysis include quarterly for tritium and annual for gamma, gross alpha, gross beta, strontium, select transuranics and Fe 55/Ni
- 63. Samples from eighteen of the designated monitoring wells and two surface water sample points were collected by a contractor (Environmental Inc.) and analyzed by a contract lab (Teledyne Brown). The remaining sample locations are collected by site personnel and analyzed for tritium/gamma onsite by station personnel or by Teledyne Brown for tritium/gamma and other parameters.
Tritium concentrations ranged from less than the LLD of 200 pCi/L at the site boundaries up to 36,900 pCi/L in a monitoring well. Tritium was detected in one of the eight surface water samples at a concentration of 295 pCi/L.
Gamma-emitting radionuclides associated with licensed plant operations were not detected at concentrations greater than their respective Lower Limits of Detection (LLDs) as specified in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) in any of the groundwater samples. In the case of tritium, Exelon specified that its contract laboratories achieve a lower limit of detection 10 times lower than that required by federal regulation. Most of the tritium that was detected in groundwater at the Station is on the south and west side of the Reactor/Turbine buildings.
Strontium-89 was not detected at concentrations greater than the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) of 10.0 pCi/L. Strontium-90 was not detected at concentrations great than the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) of 1.0 pCi/L.
Gross Alpha and Gross Beta analyses in the dissolved and suspended fractions were performed on 10 designated groundwater locations during the first quarter sampling in 2015.
Gross Alpha (dissolved) was not detected at any of the groundwater locations.
Gross Alpha (suspended) was not detected at any of the groundwater locations.
Page 98 of 122
Gross Beta (dissolved) was detected in nine of 10 groundwater locations. The concentrations ranged from 2.8 to 43.1 pCi/L.
Gross Beta (suspended) was not detected at any of the groundwater locations.
Select Transuranics/Hard-To-Detect analyses was performed on one monitoring well designated as "elevated" (QC-GP-15). The analyses included Am-241, Cm-242, Cm-243/244, Pu-238, Pu-239/240, U-234, U-235, U-238, Fe-55 and Ni-
- 63. All hard-to-detect nuclides were not detected at concentrations greater than their respective MDCs.
In assessing all the data gathered for this report, it was concluded that the operation of QCNPS had no adverse radiological impact on the environment offsite of QCNPS.
II. Introduction The Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS), consisting of two 2957 MWth boiling water reactor owned and operated by Exelon Corporation, is located in Cordova, Illinois along the Mississippi River. Unit No. 1 went critical on 16 March 1972. Unit No. 2 went critical on 02 December 1973. The site is located in northern Illinois, approximately 182 miles west of Chicago, Illinois.
A. Objective of the RGPP The long-term objectives of the RGPP are as follows:
- 1. Identify suitable locations to monitor and evaluate potential impacts from station operations before significant radiological impact to the environment and potential drinking water sources.
- 2. Understand the local hydrogeologic regime in the vicinity of the station and maintain up-to-date knowledge of flow patterns on the surface and shallow subsurface.
- 3. Perform routine water sampling and radiological analysis of water from selected locations.
- 4. Report new leaks, spills, or other detections with potential radiological significance to stakeholders in a timely manner.
- 5. Regularly assess analytical results to identify adverse trends.
- 6. Take necessary corrective actions to protect groundwater resources.

B. Implementation of the Objectives The objectives identified have been implemented at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station as discussed below:
- 1. Exelon and its consultant identified locations as described in the Phase 1 study. Phase 1 studies were conducted by Conestoga Rovers and Associates (CRA) and the results and conclusions were made available to state and federal regulators in station specific reports.
- 2. The Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station reports describe the local hydrogeologic regime. Periodically, the flow patterns on the surface and shallow subsurface are updated based on ongoing measurements.
- 3. Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station will continue to perform routine sampling and radiological analysis of water from selected locations.
- 4. Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station has implemented procedures to identify and report leaks, spills, or other detections with potential radiological significance in a timely manner.
- 5. Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station staff and consulting hydrogeologist assess analytical results on an ongoing basis to identify adverse trends.
C. Program Description
- 1. Sample Collection Sample locations can be found in Table A-1 and Figures A-1 &
A-2, Appendix A.
Groundwater and Surface Water Samples of water are collected, managed, transported and analyzed in accordance with approved procedures following regulatory methods. Both groundwater and surface water are collected. Sample locations, sample collection frequencies and analytical frequencies are controlled in accordance with approved station procedures. Contractor and/or station personnel are trained in the collection, preservation management, analysis and shipment of samples, as well as in documentation of sampling events.
Analytical laboratories are subject to internal quality assurance programs, inter-laboratory cross-check programs, as well as nuclear industry audits. Station personnel review and evaluate all Page 100 of 122
analytical data deliverables after initial review by the contractor.
Analytical data results are reviewed by both station personnel and an independent hydrogeologist for adverse trends or changes to hydrogeologic conditions.
Ill. Program Description This section covers those analyses performed by Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) on samples collected in 2015.
A. Sample Analysis This section describes the general analytical methodologies used by TBE and station personnel to analyze the environmental samples for radioactivity for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station RGPP in 2015.
In order to achieve the stated objectives, the current program includes the following analyses:
- 1. Concentrations of gamma emitters in groundwater and surface water.
- 2. Concentrations of strontium in groundwater.
- 3. Concentrations of tritium in groundwater and surface water.
- 4. Concentration of gross alpha and gross beta in groundwater.
- 5. Concentrations of Am-241 in groundwater.
- 6. Concentrations of Cm-242 and Cm-243/244 in groundwater.
- 7. Concentrations of Pu-238 and PU-239/240 in groundwater.
- 9. Concentrations of Fe-55 in groundwater.
- 10. Concentrations of Ni-63 in groundwater.
B. Data Interpretation The radiological data collected prior to Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station becoming operational were used as a baseline with which these operational data were compared. For the purpose of this report, Quad Page 101of122
Cities Nuclear Power Station was considered operational at initial criticality. Several factors were important in the interpretation of the data:
- 1. Lower Limit of Detection and Minimum Detectable Concentration The lower limit of detection (LLD) is specified by federal regulation as a minimum sensitivity value that must be achieved routinely by the analytical parameter.
- 2. Laboratory Measurements Uncertainty The estimated uncertainty in measurement of tritium in environmental samples is frequently on the order of 50% of the measurement value.
Statistically, the exact value of a measurement is expressed as a range with a stated level of confidence. The convention is to report results with a 95% level of confidence. The uncertainty comes from calibration standards, sample volume or weight measurements, sampling uncertainty and other factors. Exelon reports the uncertainty of a measurement created by statistical process (counting error) as well as all sources of error (Total Propagated Uncertainty or TPU). Each result has two values calculated. Exelon reports the TPU by following the result with plus or minus+/- the estimated sample standard deviation, as TPU, that is obtained by propagating all sources of analytical uncertainty in measurements.
Analytical uncertainties are reported at the 95% confidence level in this report for reporting consistency with the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR).
Gamma spectroscopy results for each type of sample were grouped as follows:
For groundwater and surface water 14 nuclides, Be-7, K-40, Mn-54, Co-58, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65, Nb-95, Zr-95, 1-131, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ba-140 and La-140 were reported.
IV. Results and Discussion A Groundwater Results Groundwater Samples were collected from on-site wells in accordance with the Page 102of122
station radiological groundwater protection program. Analytical results and anomalies are discussed below.
Tritium Samples from all locations were analyzed for tritium activity (Table B-1.1 & B-111.1 Appendix B). Tritium values ranged from the detection limit to 36,900 pCi/I. All samples obtained at the site boundaries were less then the detection limit of 200 pCi/L, with the exception of MW-QC-1121 sampled on 3/9/15 which showed activity of 403 pCi/L. Subsequent resample of MW-QC-1121 on 4/10/15 was less than detection limit of 200 pCi/L. The location most representative of potential offsite user of drinking water was
<200 pCi/L.
Strontium Strontium-89 was not detected above the Lower Limit of Detection of 10.0 pCi(L. Strontium-90 was not detected above the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) of 1.0 pCi/L (Table B-1.1 Appendix B)

I. Summary and Conclusions In 2015, the Quad Cities Generating Station released to the environment through the radioactive effluent liquid and gaseous pathways approximately 124 curies of noble gas, 1.1 BE-02 curies of fission and activation products, 29 curies of Carbon-14 and approximately 85 curies of tritium. The dose from both liquid and gaseous effluents was conservatively calculated for the Maximum Exposed Member of the Public. The results of those calculations and their comparison to the allowable limits were as follows:

The doses as a result of the radiological effluents released from the Quad Cities Generating Station were a very small percentage of the allowable limits, with the exception of 40CFR190 whole body radiation which was calculated to be 31.0%
of the 25 mrem/yr limit. The largest component of 40CFR 190 dose is attributable to BWR skyshine from N-16. This value is conservatively calculated for the hypothetical maximum exposed member of the public.
This report on the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS) by Exelon covers the period 01January2015 through 31 December 2015. During thattime period, 1.556 analyses were performed on 1444 samples. In assessing all the data gathered for this report and comparing these results with preoperational data, it was concluded that the operation of QCNPS had no adverse radiological impact on the environment.
Page 7of122
Surface water samples were analyzed for concentrations of gross beta, tritium, iron, nickel and gamma emitting nuclides. Ground water samples were analyzed for concentrations of tritium and gamma emitting nuclides. No fission or activation products were detected. Gross beta activities detected were consistent with those detected in previous years and consistent with the control stations.
Fish (commercially and recreationally important species) and sediment samples were analyzed for concentrations of gamma emitting nuclides. No fission or activation products were detected in fish samples. Cesium-137 was not detected above the required LLD in any sediment samples.
- Air particulate samples were analyzed for concentrations of gross beta and gamma emitting nuclides. No fission or activation products were detected.
- . High sensitivity 1-131 analyses were performed on air samples. No 1-131 was detected.
Cow milk samples were analyzed for concentrations of 1-131 and gamma emitting nuclides. No 1-131 was detected. Concentrations of naturally occurring isotopes (K-40 approximately 1200 pCi/L) were consistent with those detected in previous years. No fission or activation products were detected.
Food product samples were analyzed for concentrations of gamma emitting nuclides. No fission or activation products were detected.
Environmental gamma radiation measurements were performed quarterly using Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeters (OSLO). Beginning in 2012, Exelon changed the type of dosimetry used for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters were deployed and Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD) were discontinued.
The relative comparison to control locations remains valid. OSLO technology is different than that used in a TLD but has the same purpose (to measure direct radiation).
II. Introduction The Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS), consisting of two 2,957 MWth boiling water reactors owned and operated by Exelon Corporation, is located in Cordova, Illinois along the Mississippi River. Unit No. 1 went critical on 16 March 1972. Unit No. 2 went critical on 02 December 1973. The site is located in northwestern Illinois, approximately 182 miles west of Chicago, Illinois.
This report covers those analyses performed by Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) and Landauer on samples collected during the period 1 January 2015 through 31 December 2015.

A. Objective of the REMP The objectives of the REMP are to:
- 1. Provide data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the site environs.
- 2. Evaluate the relationship between quantities of radioactive material released from the plant and resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. -
B. Implementation of the Objectives The implementation of the objectives is accomplished by:
- 1. Identifying significant exposure pathways.
- 2. Establishing baseline radiological data of media within those pathways.
- 3. Continuously monitoring those media before and during Station operation to assess Station radiological effects (if any) on man and the environment.
C. Radiation and Radioactivity All matter is made of atoms. An atom is the smallest part into which matter can be broken down and still maintain all its chemical properties.
Nuclear radiation is energy, in the form of waves or particles that is given off by unstable, radioactive atoms. Radioactive material exists naturally and has always been a part of our environment. The earth's crust, for example, contains radioactive uranium, radium, thorium and potassium.
Some radioactivity is a result of nuclear weapons testing. Examples of radioactive fallout that is normally present in environmental samples are cesium-137 and strontium-90. Some examples of radioactive materials released from a nuclear power plant are cesium-137, iodine-131, strontium-90 and cobalt-60. Radiation is measured in units of millirem; much like temperature is measured in degrees. A millirem is a measure of the biological effect of the energy deposited in tissue. The natural and man-made radiation dose received in one year by the average American is 300 to 400 mrem (References 2, 3, 4 in Table 11.D-1 below).
Radioactivity is measured in curies. A curie is that amount of radioactive material needed to produce 37,000,000,000 nuclear disintegrations per second. This is an extremely large amount of radioactivity in comparison to environmental radioactivity. That is why radioactivity in the environment Page 9of122
is measured in picocuries. One picocurie is equal to one trillionth of a curie.
D. Sources of Radiation As mentioned previously, naturally occurring radioactivity has always been a part of our environment. Table II D-1 shows the sources and doses of radiation from natural and man-made sources.

building materials (3.5 mrem), and mining and agriculture (0.8 mrem)
(5) Industrial, security, medical, educational, and research Cosmic radiation from the sun and outer space penetrates the earth's atmosphere and continuously bombards us with rays and charged particles. Some of this cosmic-radiation interacts with gases and particles in the atmosphere, making them radioactive in turn. These radioactive byproducts from cosmic ray bombardment are referred to as cosmogenic radionuclides. Isotopes such as beryllium-? and carbon-14 are formed in this way. Exposure to cosmic and cosmogenic sources of radioactivity results in about 33 mrem of radiation dose per year.
Additionally, natural radioactivity is in our body and in the food we eat (about 29 millirem/yr), the ground we walk on (about 21 millirem/yr) and Page 10of122
the air we breathe (about 228 millirem/yr). The majority of a person's annual dose results from exposure to radon and thoron in the air we breathe. These gases and their radioactive decay products arise from the decay of naturally occurring uranium, thorium and radium in the soil and building products such as brick, stone and concrete. Radon and thoron levels vary greatly with location, primarily due to changes in the concentration of uranium and thorium in the soil. Residents at some locations in Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have a
- higher annual dose as a result of higher levels of radon/thoron gases in these areas. In total, these various sources of naturally-occurring radiation and radioactivity contribute to a total dose of about 311 mrem per year.
In addition to natural radiation, we are normally exposed to radiation from a number of man-made sources. The single largest doses from man-made sources result from therapeutic and diagnostic applications of x-rays and radiopharmaceuticals. The annual dose to an individual in the U.S. from medical and dental exposure is about 300 mrem. Consumer products, such as televisions and smoke detectors, contribute about 13 mrem/yr. Much smaller.doses result from weapons fallout (less than 1 mrem/yr) and nuclear power plants. Typically, the average person in the United States receives about 314 mrem per year from man-made sources.
Ill. Program Description A. Sample Collection Samples for the QCNPS REMP were collected for Exelon Nuclear by ATI Environmental Inc. (Midwest Labs). This section describes the general sampling methods used by Environmental Inc. to obtain environmental samples for the QCNPS REMP in 2015. Sample locations and descriptions can be found in Table B-1 and Figures B-1 and B-2, Appendix B.
Aquatic Environment The aquatic environment was evaluated by performing radiological analyses on samples of surface water, ground water, fish and sediment.
Surface water samples were collected weekly from two locations, Q-33 and Q-34 (Control). Ground water samples were collected quarterly from two locations, Q-35 and Q-36. All water samples were collected in new containers, which were rinsed with source water prior to collection.
Fish samples comprising the edible portions of commercially and Page 11of122
recreationally important species were collected semiannually at two locations, Q-24 and Q-29 (Control). Sediment samples composed of recently deposited substrate were collected at two locations semiannually, Q-39 and Q-40 (Control).
Atmospheric Environment The atmospheric environment was evaluated by performing radiological analyses on samples of air particulate, and airborne iodine. Airborne iodine and particulate samples were collected and analyzed at ten locations (Q-01, Q-02, Q-03, Q-04, Q-13, Q-16, Q-37, Q-38, Q-41 and Q-42 (control)). Airborne iodine and particulate samples were obtained at each location, using a vacuum pump with charcoal and glass fiber filters attached. The pumps were run continuously and sampled air at the rate of approximately one cubic foot per minute. The air particulate filters and air iodine samples were replaced weekly and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Terrestrial Environment The terrestrial environment was evaluated by performing radiological analyses on samples of milk and food product. Milk samples were collected biweekly at one location (Q-26) from May through October, and monthly from November through April. All samples were collected in new plastic containers from the bulk tank, preserved with sodium bisulfite, and shipped promptly to the laboratory.
Food products were collected annually in July at five locations (Q-Control, Q-Quad 1, Q-Quad 2, Q-Quad 3, and Q-Quad 4). Various types of broadleaf and root vegetables were collected and placed in new plastic bags, and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
- Ambient Gamma Radiation Beginning in 2012, Exelon changed the type of dosimetry used for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLO) were deployed and Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD) were discontinued. The relative comparison to control locations remains valid. OSLO technology is different than that used in a TLD but has the same purpose (to measure direct radiation).
Each location consisted of 2 OSLO sets. The OSLO locations were placed on and around the QCNPS site as follows: An inner ring consisting of 15 locations (Q-101, Q-102, Q-103, Q-104, Q-105, Q-106, Q-107, Q-108, Q-109, Q-111, Q-112, Q-113, Q-114, Q-115 and Q-116).
Page 12 of 122
These OSLDs are located in 15 of the 16 meteorological sectors in the general area of the site boundary (approximately 0.1 - 3 miles from the site). There are no OSLDs located in the SSW sector because this sector is located over water.
An outer ring consisting of 16 locations (Q-201, Q-202, Q-203, Q-204, Q-205, Q-206, Q-207, Q-208, Q-209, Q-210, Q-211, Q-212, Q-213, Q-214, Q-215 and Q-216). These OSLDs are located in each of the 16 meteorological sectors (approximately 6.0 - 8.0 km from the site)
An other set consisting of nine locations (Q-01, Q-02, Q-03, Q-04, Q-13, Q-16, Q-37, Q-38 and Q-41 ). The locations are at each of the air sample stations around the site.
The balance of one location (Q-42) is the control site.
The specific OSLO locations were determined by the following criteria:
- 1. The presence of relatively dense population;
- 2. Site meteorological data taking into account distance and elevation for each of the sixteen 22.5 degree sectors around the site, where estimated annual dose from QCNPS, if any, would be most significant;
- 3. On hills free from local obstructions and within sight of the stack (where practical);
- 4. Near the closest dwelling to the stack in the prevailing downwind direction.
The OSLDs were exchanged quarterly and sent to Landauer for analysis.
B. Sample Analysis This section describes the general analytical methodologies used by TBE to analyze the environmental samples for radioactivity for the QCNPS REMP in 2015 and the type of analyses. The analytical procedures used by the TBE laboratory a~e listed in Table B-2.
In order to achieve the stated objectives, the current program includes the following analyses:
- 1. Concentrations of beta emitters in surface water and air pa rticu Iates.
Page 13of122
- 2. Concentrations of gamma emitters in ground and surface water, air particulates, milk, fish, sediment and vegetation.
- 3. Concentrations of tritium in ground and surface water.
- 4. Concentrations of 1-131 in air and milk.
- 5. Ambient gamma radiation levels at various site environs.
C. Data Interpretation The radiological and direct radiation. data collected prior to Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station becoming operational were used as a baseline with which these operational data were compared. For the purpose of this report, Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station was considered operational at initial criticality. In addition, data were compared to previous years' operational data for consistency and trending. Several factors were important in the interpretation of the data:
- 1. Lower Limit of Detection and Minimum Detectable Concentration.
The lower limit of detection (LLD) is defined as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that would yield a net count (above background) that would be detected with only a 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal. The LLD is intended as an a priori (a before the fact) estimate of a system (including instrumentation, procedure and sample type) and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) criteria for the presence of activity. All analyses were designed to achieve the required QCNPS detection capabilities for environmental sample analysis.
The minimum detectable concentration (MDC) is defined above with the exception that the measurement is an a posteriori (after the fact) estimate of the presence of activity.
- 2. Net Activity Calculation and Reporting of Results Net activity for a sample is calculated by subtracting background activity from the sample activity. Since the REMP measures extremely small changes in radioactivity in the environment, background variations may result in sample activity being lower than the background activity effecting a negative number. An MDC is reported in all cases where positive activity was not detected.
Gamma spectroscopy results for each type of sample were grouped as follows:
Page 14 of122
For surface water, groundwater and vegetation 12 nuclides, Mn-54, Co-58, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65, Zr-95, Nb-95, 1-131, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ba-140 and La-140 were reported.
For fish, sediment, air particulate and milk 11 nuclides, Mn-54, Co-58, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65, Nb-95, Zr-95, Cs-134, Cs-137 and Ba-140 and La-140 were reported.
For air iodine, one nuclide, 1-131 was reported Means and standard deviations of the results were calculated. The standard deviations represent the variability of measured results for different samples rather than single analysis uncertainty.

IV. Results and Discussion A. Aquatic Environment
- 1. Surface Water Samples were taken weekly and composited monthly at two locations (Q-33 and Q-34). Of these locations only Q-33, located downstream, could be affected by Quad Cities' effluent releases.
The following analyses were performed:
Gross Beta Samples from all locations were analyzed for concentrations of gross beta (Table C-1.1, Appendix C). Gross beta activity was detected in 19 of 20 samples. The values ranged from 2.6 to 5.3 pCi/L. Concentrations detected were consistent with those detected in previous years (Figure C-1, Appendix C). The required LLD was met.
Tritium Quarterly composites of weekly collections were analyzed for tritium activity (Table C-1.2, Appendix C). No tritium activity was detected (Figure C-2, Appendix C). The 2000 pCi/L OCDM and contractually required 200 pCi/L LLDs were met.
Page 16 of122
Iron and Nickel Quarterly composites of monthly collections were analyzed for Fe-55 and Ni-63 (Table C-1.2, Appendix C). No Fe-55 or Ni-63 were detected. The required LLDs were met.
Gamma Spectrometry Samples from both locations were analyzed monthly for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-1.3, Appendix C). No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
- 2. Ground Water Quarterly grab samples were collected at two locations (Q-35 and Q-36). Both locations could be affected by Quad Cities' effluent releases. The following analyses were performed:
Tritium Quarterly grab samples from the locations were analyzed for tritium activity (Table C-11.1, Appendix C). No tritium activity was detected (Figure C-3, Appendix C). The 2000 pCi/L OCDM and contractually required 200 pCi/L LLDs were met.
Gamma Spectrometry Samples from all locations were analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-11.2, Appendix C). No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
- 3. Fish Fish samples comprised of various commercially and recreationally important species were collected at two locations (Q-24 and Q-29) semiannually. Location Q-24 could be affected by Quad Cities' effluent releases. The following analysis was performed:
Gamma Spectrometry The edible portion of fish samples from both locations were analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-111.1, Appendix C).
No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
Page 17 of 122
- 4. Sediment Aquatic sediment samples were collected at two locations (Q-39 and Q-40) semiannually. The location Q-39, located downstream, could be affected by Quad Cities' effluent releases. The following analysis was performed:
Gamma Spectrometry Sediment samples from Q-39 and Q-40 were analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-IV.1, Appendix C). Cesium-137 was not detected in any of the samples. No other nuclides potentially associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
B. Atmospheric Environment
- 1. Airborne
- a. Air Particulates Continuous air particulate samples were collected from ten locations on a weekly basis. The ten locations were separated into three groups: Near-field samplers within 4 km (2.5 miles) of the site (Q-01, Q-02, Q-03 and Q-04),
far-field samplers between 4 and 10 km (2.5 - 6.2 miles) from the site (Q-13, Q-16, Q-37, Q-38 and Q-41) and the Control sampler between 10 and 30 km (6.2 - 18.6 miles) from the site (Q-42). The following analyses were performed:
Gross Beta Weekly samples were analyzed for concentrations of beta emitters (Table C-V.1 and C-V.2, Appendix C).
Comparison of results among the four groups aid in determining the effects, if any, resulting from the operation of QCNPS. The results from the near-field locations (Group I) ran~ed from 5 to 34 E-03 pCi/m with a mean of 17 E-03 3
pCi/m . The results from the far-field locations (Group II) 3 ranged from 5 to 33 E-03 pCi/m with a mean of 17 E-03 pCi/m 3 . The results from the Control location (Group Ill) ranged from 7 to 35 E-03 pCi/m 3 with a mean of 18 E-03 3
pCi/m . Comparison of the 2015 air particulate data with previous year's data indicate no effects from the operation of Page 18of122
QCNPS. In addition comparisons of the weekly mean values for 2015 indicate no notable differences among the three groups (Figures C-4 through C-9, Appendix C).
Gamma Spectrometry Weekly samples were composited quarterly and analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-V.3, Appendix C).
No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
- b. Airborne Iodine Continuous air samples were collected from ten locations (Q-01, Q-02, Q-03, Q-04, Q-13, Q-16, Q-37, Q-38, Q-41 and Q-42) and analyzed weekly for 1-131 (Table C-Vl.1, Appendix C). All results were less than the LLD for 1-131.
- 2. Terrestrial
- a. Milk Samples were collected from one location (Q-26) biweekly May through October and monthly November through April.
The following analyses were performed:
lodine-131 Milk samples from the location were analyzed for concentrations of 1-131 (Table C-Vll.1, Appendix C). No 1-131 was detected and the LLD was met.
Gamma Spectrometry Each milk sample was analyzed for concentrations of gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-Vll.2, Appendix C). No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
- b. Food Products Food product samples were collected at four locations plus a control location (Q-Control, Q-Quad 1, Q-Quad 2, Q-Quad 3 and Q-Quad 4) annually during growing season. Four locations, (Q-Quad 1, Q-Quad 2, Q-Quad 3 and Q-Quad 4) could be affected by Quad Cities' effluent releases. The following analysis was performed:
Page 19of122
Gamma Spectrometry Samples from all locations were analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides (Table C-Vlll.1, Appendix C). No nuclides associated with QCNPS were detected and all required LLDs were met.
C. Ambient Gamma Radiation Ambient gamma radiation levels were measured utilizing optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters. Forty-one OSLO locations were established around the site. Results of OSLO measurements are listed in Tables C-IX.1 to C-IX.3, Appendix C.
All of the OSLO measurements were below 30 mRem/quarter, with a range of 17 .1 to 29.0 mRem/quarter. A comparison of the Inner Ring, Outer Ring and Other data to the Control Location data, indicate that the ambient gamma radiation levels from all the locations were comparable.
D. Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation QCNPS commenced use of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) in Dec 2005. There are no measurable changes in ambient gamma radiation levels as a result of ISFSI operations.
E. Land Use Survey A Land Use Survey conducted during August 2015 around QCNPS was performed by ATI Environmental Inc. (Midwest Labs) for Exelon Nuclear to comply with the Quad Cities' Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. The purpose of the survey was to document the nearest resident and milk producing animals in each of the sixteen 22.5 degree sectors around the site. The results from the land use census have not identified any locations, which yield a calculated dose or dose commitment, via the same pathway, that is at least 20% greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained. The results of this survey are summarized below:

Participation by local farmers is voluntary.
- F. Errata Data There is no errata data for 2015.
G. Summary of Results - Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program The primary and secondary laboratories analyzed Performance Evaluation (PE) samples of air particulate, air iodine, milk, soil, vegetation and water matrices (Appendix D). The PE samples, supplied by Analytics Inc., Environmental Resource Associates (ERA) and DOE's Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP), were evaluated against the following pre-set acceptance criteria:
- 1. Analytics Evaluation Criteria Analytics' evaluation report provides a ratio of laboratory results and Analytics' known value. Since flag values are not assigned by Analytics, TBE-ES evaluates the reported ratios based on internal QC requirements, which are based on the DOE MAPEP criteria.
Page 21of122
- 2. ERA Evaluation Criteria ERA's evaluation report provides an acceptance range for control and warning limits with associated flag values. ERA's acceptance limits are established per the USEPA, NELAC, state specific PT program requirements or ERA's SOP for the Generation of Performance Acceptance Limits, as applicable. The acceptance limits are either determined by a regression equation specific to each analyte or a fixed percentage limit promulgated under the appropriate regulatory document.
- 3. DOE Evaluation Criteria MAPEP's evaluation report provides an acceptance range with associated flag values.
The MAPEP defines three levels of performance: Acceptable (flag ="A"), Acceptable with Warning (flag ="W"), and Not
=
Acceptable (flag "N"). Performance is considered acceptable when a mean result for the specified analyte is +/- 20% of the reference value. Performance is acceptable with warning when a mean result falls in the range from +/-20% to +/-30% of the reference value (i.e., 20% <bias< 30%). If the bias is greater than 30%, the results are deemed not acceptable.
For the TBE laboratory, 129 out of 139 analyses performed met the specified acceptance criteria. Ten analyses (AP - Cr-51, U-234/233, Gr A, Sr-90; Soil Sr-90; Water - Ni-63, Sr-89, Sr-90, U natural; Vegetation Sr-90 samples) did not meet the specified acceptance criteria for the following reasons and were addressed through the TBE Corrective Action Program:
Note: The Department of Energy (DOE) Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP) samples are created to mimic conditions found at DOE sites which do not resemble typical environmental samples obtained at commercial nuclear power facilities.
- 1. Teledyne Brown Engineering's Analytics' June 2015 air particulate Cr-51 result of 323 +/- 45.5 pCi was higher than the known value of 233 pCi with a ratio of 1.39. The upper ratio of 1.30 (accepta_ble with warning) was exceeded. The air particulate sample is counted at a distance above the surface of the detector to avoid detector summing which could alter the results. Chromium-51 has the shortest half-life (27.7 days) and the lowest gamma energy (320.08 keV) of this mixed nuclide sample. Additionally, Cr-51 has only one gamma energy and also has a low intensity (9.38 gamma photons produced per 100 disintegrations). This geometry produces a Page 22 of 122
larger error for the Cr-51 and other gamma emitters as any distance from the detector decreases the counting rate and the probability of accurately detecting the nuclide energy. Taking into consideration the uncertainty, the activity of Cr-51 overlaps with the known value at a ratio of 1.19, which would .statistically be considered acceptable. NCR 15-18
- 2. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 soil Sr-90 result of 286 Total Bq/kg was lower than the known value of 653 Bq/kg, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 487 Bq/kg. The failure was due to incomplete digestion of the sample. Incomplete digestion of samples causes some of the sample to be left behind and is not present in the digested sample utilized for analysis. The procedure has been updated to include a more robust digestion using stirring during the heating phase. The MAPEP September 2014 soil Sr-90 series prior to this study was evaluated as acceptable with a result of 694 and an acceptance range of 601 -1115 Bq/kg. The MAPEP September 2015 series soil Sr-90 after this study was evaluated as acceptable with a result of 429 and an acceptance range of 298 - 553 Bq/kg. We feel the issue is specific to the March 2015 MAPEP sample. NCR 15-13
- 3. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 airparticulate U-234/233 result of 0.0211 +/- 0.0120 Sq/sample was higher than the known value of 0.0155 Sq/sample, exceeding the upper ,
acceptance range of 0.0202 Sq/sample. Although evaluated as a failure, taking into consideration the uncertainty, TBE's result would overlap with the known value, which is statistically considered acceptable. MAPEP spiked the sample with significantly more U-238 activity (a found to known ratio of 0.96) than the normal U-234/233. Due to the extremely low activity, it was difficult to quantify the U-234/233. NCR 15-13
- 4. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 air particulate gross alpha result of 0.448 Sq/sample was lower than the known value of 1.77 Sq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 0.53 Sq/sample. The instrument efficiency used for gross alpha is determined using a non-attenuated alpha standard. The MAPEP filter has the alphas embedded in the filter, requiring an attenuated efficiency. When samples contain alpha particles that are embedded in the sample media, due to the size of the alpha particle, some of the alpha particles are absorbed by the media and cannot escape to be counted. When the sample media absorbs the alpha particles this is known as self-absorption or attenuation.
The calibration must include a similar configuration/media to correct for the attenuation. In order to correct the low bias, TBE will Page 23 of 122
create an attenuated efficiency for MAPEP air particulate filters.
The MAPEP September series air particulate gross alpha result of 0.47 Sq/sample was evaluated as acceptable with a range of 0.24
- 1.53 Sq/sample. Unlike the MAPEP samples, air particulate Gross alpha ~nalyses for power plants are not evaluated as a direct count sample. Power plant air particulate filters for gross alpha go through an acid digestion process prior to counting and the digested material is analyzed. NCR 15-13
- 5. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP September water Ni-63 result of 11.8 +/- 10.8 Bq/l was higher than the known value of 8.55 Bq/l, exceeding the upper acceptance range of 11.12 Bq/L. The Ni-63 half-life is approximately 100 years. Nickel-63 is considered to be a "soft" or low energy beta emitter, which means that the beta energy is very low. The maximum beta energy for Ni-63 is approximately 65 keV, much lower than other more common nuclides such as Co-60 (maximum beta energy of 1549 keV). The original sample was run with a 10 ml aliquot which was not sufficient for the low level of Ni-63 in the sample. The rerun aliquot of 30 ml produced an acceptable result of 8.81 Bq/L. NCR 15-21
- 6. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP September air particulate Sr-90 result of 1.48 Sq/sample was lower than the known value of 2.18 Sq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 1.53 Sq/sample. In the past, MAPEP has added substances (unusual compounds found in DOE complexes) to various matrices that have resulted in incomplete removal of the isotope of interest for the laboratories analyzing the cross checks. TBE suspects that this may be the cause of this error. Many compounds, if not properly accounted for or removed in the sample matrix, can cause interferences to either indicate lower activity or higher activity. TBE will no longer analyze the air particulate Sr-90 through MAPEP but will participate in the Analytics cross check program to perform both Sr-89 and Sr-90 in the air particulate matrix. NCR 15-21
- 7. Teledyne Brown Engineering's .MAPEP September vegetation Sr-90 result of 0.386 Sq/sample was lower than the known value of 1.30 Sq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 0.91 Sq/sample. In the past, MAPEP has added substances (unusual compounds found in DOE complexes) to various matrices that have resulted in incomplete removal of the isotope of interest for the laboratories analyzing the cross checks. TBE suspects that this maybe the cause of this error. Many compounds, if not properly accounted for or removed in the sample matrix, can cause interferences to either indicat~ lower activity or higher activity.

Results from previous performance evaluations were reviewed and shown to be acceptable. NCR 15-21
- 8. & 9.Teledyne Brown Engineering's ERA May water Sr-89/90 results of 45.2 and 28.0 pCi/L, respectively were lower than the known values of 63.2 and 41.9 pCi/L, respectively, exceeding the lower acceptance limits of 51.1 and 30.8 pCi/L, respectively. The yields were on the high side of the TBE acceptance range, which indicates the present of excess calcium contributed to the yield, resulting in low results. NCR 15-09
- 10. Teledyne Brown Engineering's ERA November water Uranium natural result of 146.9 pCi/L was higher than the known value of 56.2 pCi/L, exceeding the upper acceptance limit of 62.4 pCi/L.
The technician failed to dilute the original sample, but used the entfre 12 ml sample. When the results were recalculated without the dilution and using the 12 ml aliquot, the result of 57 .16 agreed with the assigned value of 56.2. NCR 15-19 For the ATI EIML laboratory, 90 of 94 analyses met the specified acceptance criteria. Four analyses (Water- Co-57, Fe-55; AP - Co-57; Soil - Sr-90) did not meet the specified acceptance criteria for the following reasons:
- 1. The Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory's MAPEP February 2015 water Co-57 result of 10.2 Bq/L was lower than the known value of 29.9 Bq/L, exceeding the lower control limit of 20.9 Bq/L.
The reported value should have been 27.84, which would have been evaluated as acceptable. A data entry error resulted in a non-acceptable result.
- 2. The Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory's MAPEP February 2015 AP Co-57 result of 0.04 Sq/sample was lower than the known value of 1.51 Bq/ sample, exceeding the lower control limit of 1.06 Sq/sample. The reported value should have been 1.58 Sq/sample, which would have been evaluated as acceptable. A data entry error resulted in a non-acceptable result.
- 3. The Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory's MAPEP August 2015 soil Sr-90 result of 231 Bq/kg was lower than the known value of 425 Bq/kg, exceeding the lower control limit of 298 Bq/kg. The incomplete separation of calcium from strontium caused a failed low result. The reanalysis result of 352 Bq/kg fell within acceptance criteria.
- 4. The Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory's MAPEP August 2015 water Fe-55 result of 4.2 Bq/L was lower than the known Page 25 of 122
value of 13.1 Bq/L, exceeding the lower control limit of 9.2 Bq/L.
The known activity was below the routine laboratory detection limits for the available aliquot fraction.
The Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program provides evidence of "in control" counting systems and methods, and that the laboratories are producing accurate and reliable data.

I. Summary and Conclusions This report on the Radiological Groundwater Protection Program (RGPP) conducted for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS) by Exelon Nuclear covers the period 01 January 2015 through 31 December 2015.
In 2006, Exelon undertook a Fleetwide Assessment of groundwater at and in the vicinity of its nuclear power generating.facilities for the presence of radionuclides.
The data collected from the Quad Cities Station as part of the Fleetwide Assessment was summarized in a report entitled "Hydrogeologic Investigation Report, Fleetwide Assessment, Quad Cities Generation Station, Cordova, Illinois", dated September 2006. This report was submitted to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) in September 2006. The Quad Cities Hydrogeologic Investigation Report concluded that tritium had not migrated off Site at detectable concentrations.
Following the Fleetwide Assessment, Exelon continued groundwater monitoring for radionuclides at the Site. As a result of this monitoring, Exelon detected higher than expected tritium levels in the vicinity of the station's Service Building and Turbine Building. Quad Cities undertook supplemental investigative activities to determine and characterize the source of the tritium. These investigative activities included completion of an aquifer pumping test, installation of sentinel monitoring wells in the vicinity of the Service Building and Turbine Building, and several additional rounds of hydraulic monitoring and groundwater sampling. The collected groundwater data was utilized to assist with an extensive underground piping inspection program to locate the source of the tritium.
In May 2008, during the underground piping inspection program, Exelon located a small leak in the Unit 1 Residual Heat Removal (RHR) suction line located near the Service Building/ Turbine Building area. The line was isolated and through further testing, Exelon determined it to be a source of the monitored tritium levels. In June 2008, the line was repaired, thereby eliminating this source of tritiated water.
In a letter dated June 5, 2008, Exelon informed the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) of its plan to prepare a Migration Control Plan (MCP) to minimize migration of the tritium plume offsite. The MCP was submitted to the IEPA July 17, 2008. The MCP listed Monitored Natural Attenuation as the preferred remediation option.
In 2012 Conestoga-Rovers & Associates (CRA) completed a five-year update hydrogeologic investigation report for the Station (NE/ 07-07, Hydrogeologic Investigation Report, dated November 2012). The referenced report summarized station activities since the 2006 hydrogeologic investigation report, including Page 97 of 122
changes at the Station as well as RGPP sampling activities and groundwater flow.
A 2011 change to the RGPP consisted of designating wells into categories. Well designation categories include background, detection, elevated, long-term shut down, plume and idle. The RGPP also requires the sampling of surface water locations that may be impacted due to a spill or release.
This report covers groundwater samples, collected from the environment on station property in 2015. During that time period, RGPP samples were collected from 43 locations.
2015 sample locations included thirty-six designated monitoring wells, two surface water monitoring points and five production wells (two of which are used for site drinking water). Sample frequency and analysis varies with well designation. Typical frequency/analysis include quarterly for tritium and annual for gamma, gross alpha, gross beta, strontium, select transuranics and Fe 55/Ni
- 63. Samples from eighteen of the designated monitoring wells and two surface water sample points were collected by a contractor (Environmental Inc.) and analyzed by a contract lab (Teledyne Brown). The remaining sample locations are collected by site personnel and analyzed for tritium/gamma onsite by station personnel or by Teledyne Brown for tritium/gamma and other parameters.
Tritium concentrations ranged from less than the LLD of 200 pCi/L at the site boundaries up to 36,900 pCi/L in a monitoring well. Tritium was detected in one of the eight surface water samples at a concentration of 295 pCi/L.
Gamma-emitting radionuclides associated with licensed plant operations were not detected at concentrations greater than their respective Lower Limits of Detection (LLDs) as specified in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) in any of the groundwater samples. In the case of tritium, Exelon specified that its contract laboratories achieve a lower limit of detection 10 times lower than that required by federal regulation. Most of the tritium that was detected in groundwater at the Station is on the south and west side of the Reactor/Turbine buildings.
Strontium-89 was not detected at concentrations greater than the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) of 10.0 pCi/L. Strontium-90 was not detected at concentrations great than the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) of 1.0 pCi/L.
Gross Alpha and Gross Beta analyses in the dissolved and suspended fractions were performed on 10 designated groundwater locations during the first quarter sampling in 2015.
Gross Alpha (dissolved) was not detected at any of the groundwater locations.
Gross Alpha (suspended) was not detected at any of the groundwater locations.
Page 98 of 122
Gross Beta (dissolved) was detected in nine of 10 groundwater locations. The concentrations ranged from 2.8 to 43.1 pCi/L.
Gross Beta (suspended) was not detected at any of the groundwater locations.
Select Transuranics/Hard-To-Detect analyses was performed on one monitoring well designated as "elevated" (QC-GP-15). The analyses included Am-241, Cm-242, Cm-243/244, Pu-238, Pu-239/240, U-234, U-235, U-238, Fe-55 and Ni-
- 63. All hard-to-detect nuclides were not detected at concentrations greater than their respective MDCs.
In assessing all the data gathered for this report, it was concluded that the operation of QCNPS had no adverse radiological impact on the environment offsite of QCNPS.
II. Introduction The Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS), consisting of two 2957 MWth boiling water reactor owned and operated by Exelon Corporation, is located in Cordova, Illinois along the Mississippi River. Unit No. 1 went critical on 16 March 1972. Unit No. 2 went critical on 02 December 1973. The site is located in northern Illinois, approximately 182 miles west of Chicago, Illinois.
A. Objective of the RGPP The long-term objectives of the RGPP are as follows:
- 1. Identify suitable locations to monitor and evaluate potential impacts from station operations before significant radiological impact to the environment and potential drinking water sources.
- 2. Understand the local hydrogeologic regime in the vicinity of the station and maintain up-to-date knowledge of flow patterns on the surface and shallow subsurface.
- 3. Perform routine water sampling and radiological analysis of water from selected locations.
- 4. Report new leaks, spills, or other detections with potential radiological significance to stakeholders in a timely manner.
- 5. Regularly assess analytical results to identify adverse trends.
- 6. Take necessary corrective actions to protect groundwater resources.

B. Implementation of the Objectives The objectives identified have been implemented at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station as discussed below:
- 1. Exelon and its consultant identified locations as described in the Phase 1 study. Phase 1 studies were conducted by Conestoga Rovers and Associates (CRA) and the results and conclusions were made available to state and federal regulators in station specific reports.
- 2. The Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station reports describe the local hydrogeologic regime. Periodically, the flow patterns on the surface and shallow subsurface are updated based on ongoing measurements.
- 3. Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station will continue to perform routine sampling and radiological analysis of water from selected locations.
- 4. Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station has implemented procedures to identify and report leaks, spills, or other detections with potential radiological significance in a timely manner.
- 5. Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station staff and consulting hydrogeologist assess analytical results on an ongoing basis to identify adverse trends.
C. Program Description
- 1. Sample Collection Sample locations can be found in Table A-1 and Figures A-1 &
A-2, Appendix A.
Groundwater and Surface Water Samples of water are collected, managed, transported and analyzed in accordance with approved procedures following regulatory methods. Both groundwater and surface water are collected. Sample locations, sample collection frequencies and analytical frequencies are controlled in accordance with approved station procedures. Contractor and/or station personnel are trained in the collection, preservation management, analysis and shipment of samples, as well as in documentation of sampling events.
Analytical laboratories are subject to internal quality assurance programs, inter-laboratory cross-check programs, as well as nuclear industry audits. Station personnel review and evaluate all Page 100 of 122
analytical data deliverables after initial review by the contractor.
Analytical data results are reviewed by both station personnel and an independent hydrogeologist for adverse trends or changes to hydrogeologic conditions.
Ill. Program Description This section covers those analyses performed by Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) on samples collected in 2015.
A. Sample Analysis This section describes the general analytical methodologies used by TBE and station personnel to analyze the environmental samples for radioactivity for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station RGPP in 2015.
In order to achieve the stated objectives, the current program includes the following analyses:
- 1. Concentrations of gamma emitters in groundwater and surface water.
- 2. Concentrations of strontium in groundwater.
- 3. Concentrations of tritium in groundwater and surface water.
- 4. Concentration of gross alpha and gross beta in groundwater.
- 5. Concentrations of Am-241 in groundwater.
- 6. Concentrations of Cm-242 and Cm-243/244 in groundwater.
- 7. Concentrations of Pu-238 and PU-239/240 in groundwater.
- 9. Concentrations of Fe-55 in groundwater.
- 10. Concentrations of Ni-63 in groundwater.
B. Data Interpretation The radiological data collected prior to Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station becoming operational were used as a baseline with which these operational data were compared. For the purpose of this report, Quad Page 101of122
Cities Nuclear Power Station was considered operational at initial criticality. Several factors were important in the interpretation of the data:
- 1. Lower Limit of Detection and Minimum Detectable Concentration The lower limit of detection (LLD) is specified by federal regulation as a minimum sensitivity value that must be achieved routinely by the analytical parameter.
- 2. Laboratory Measurements Uncertainty The estimated uncertainty in measurement of tritium in environmental samples is frequently on the order of 50% of the measurement value.
Statistically, the exact value of a measurement is expressed as a range with a stated level of confidence. The convention is to report results with a 95% level of confidence. The uncertainty comes from calibration standards, sample volume or weight measurements, sampling uncertainty and other factors. Exelon reports the uncertainty of a measurement created by statistical process (counting error) as well as all sources of error (Total Propagated Uncertainty or TPU). Each result has two values calculated. Exelon reports the TPU by following the result with plus or minus+/- the estimated sample standard deviation, as TPU, that is obtained by propagating all sources of analytical uncertainty in measurements.
Analytical uncertainties are reported at the 95% confidence level in this report for reporting consistency with the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR).
Gamma spectroscopy results for each type of sample were grouped as follows:
For groundwater and surface water 14 nuclides, Be-7, K-40, Mn-54, Co-58, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65, Nb-95, Zr-95, 1-131, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ba-140 and La-140 were reported.
IV. Results and Discussion A Groundwater Results Groundwater Samples were collected from on-site wells in accordance with the Page 102of122
station radiological groundwater protection program. Analytical results and anomalies are discussed below.
Tritium Samples from all locations were analyzed for tritium activity (Table B-1.1 & B-111.1 Appendix B). Tritium values ranged from the detection limit to 36,900 pCi/I. All samples obtained at the site boundaries were less then the detection limit of 200 pCi/L, with the exception of MW-QC-1121 sampled on 3/9/15 which showed activity of 403 pCi/L. Subsequent resample of MW-QC-1121 on 4/10/15 was less than detection limit of 200 pCi/L. The location most representative of potential offsite user of drinking water was
<200 pCi/L.
Strontium Strontium-89 was not detected above the Lower Limit of Detection of 10.0 pCi(L. Strontium-90 was not detected above the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) of 1.0 pCi/L (Table B-1.1 Appendix B)
