SNM-1107/70-1151 NRC Semi-Annual Discharge Report July - December 2021 February 24, 2022

Dear Sir:

The following report fulfills regulatory requirements as listed in 10 CFR 40.65 and 10 CFR 70.59, "Effluent Monitoring Reporting Requirements." For the six-month period of July 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021, the following quantities of radionuclides were released to the unrestricted area by the Westinghouse Electric Company's Columbia, South Carolina Nuclear Fuel Plant:

Discharge Total 6-month emissions (Ci)

Parameter Total 6-month Measured Concentration Regulatory Concentration Limit Gaseous 293 Uranium (analyzed as gross alpha) 1.9E-16 Ci/mL*

5 E-14 Ci/mL Liquid Effluent #

1,164 U-234 2.0E-08 Ci/mL 3 E-07 Ci/mL 66 U-235 203 U-238 1,302 Tc-99 1.8E-08 Ci/mL 6 E-05 Ci/mL

  • Includes a dispersion factor of 1000 to account for dilution between the release point and the nearest site boundary.
  1. Sum of fractions (SOF) equates to less than 1.0.

As shown above, the effluent releases are within the NRCs regulatory limits designed to protect public health and safety.

Gaseous effluent results were obtained from point source gross alpha analysis of stack gas effluent, and the individual radionuclide activity composition is inferred from the calculated average enrichment (85.23% U-234, 3.29% U-235, and 11.47% U-238). Tc-99 is not reported for gaseous effluents as the quantities of Tc-99 detected during benchmark testing of gaseous emissions were below the thresholds that would necessitate reporting.

Liquid effluent values were obtained by analysis of composite proportional samples prior to discharge to the Congaree River and basing the activity on the calculated average enrichment.

All liquid discharges are pumped through a single discharge line to the Congaree River. Liquid effluent composites were analyzed by alpha spectroscopy, and significant quantities of U-236 were not detected using this method. The total liquid effluent volume released to the Congaree River during the second half of 2021 was 7.22 E+10 milliliters (mL).

Page 2 of 2 Our ref: LTR-RAC-22-17 February 24, 2022 Calculated values have been reported for all results, due to variability of minimum detection concentrations (MDC). Negative values are reported as zero.

To meet the requested dosage information outlined in Regulatory Guide 4.16, Section 6.1, LTR-EHS-22-09, 2021 Annual Assessment of Public Dose due to Liquid and Gaseous Effluents is attached.

Sincerely, Jeff Ferguson Manager, Environment, Health and Safety

Subject:

2021 Annual Assessment of Public Dose due to Liquid and Gaseous Effluents Effluents released from plant operations are monitored to determine the quantities of radionuclides discharged into the environment. The cumulative radioactivity released is summarized semi-annually and annually and input into models developed by the NRC and EPA to estimate the potential dose to the public.

The whole body and organ dose via the following pathways is determined in this assessment:

Dose due to Gaseous Effluents by Direct Inhalation The whole body dose was estimated using EPAs COMPLY Code at level 2 complexity.

The organ dose was estimated by calculating the X/Q factor using the results of the COMPLY analysis for stack #1210 (Conv 1-A Ex), the measured release quantity, and the dose conversion factors from Federal Guidance Report No 11, Limiting Values of Radionuclide Intake and Air concentration Factors for Inhalation, Submersion, and Ingestion (FGR 11).

Dose due to Liquid Effluents by Ingestion of Potable Water Estimated using equations and recommended values in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Doses from Liquid Effluent Pathways (RG 1.109). Dose conversion factors are referenced from FGR 11.

Dose due to Liquid Effluents by Ingestion of Fish Estimated using equations and recommended values in RG 1.109. Dose conversion factors are referenced from FGR 11.

Dose due to Liquid Effluents by Irradiation from Shoreline Deposition Estimated using equations and recommended values in RG 1.109. Dose conversion factors are referenced from Federal Guidance report No 12, External Exposure to Radionuclides in Air, Water, and Soil.

Bounding dose assessments for direct inhalation and for ingestion are performed using conservative assumptions to determine the maximum potential dose to a hypothetical individual member of the public. The inhalation dose is determined for the hypothetical individual standing at the nearest site

WestinghouseNonProprietaryClass3 Page 2 of 3 Our ref: LTR-EHS-22-09 February 21, 2022 boundary (595 meters) for twelve months. The ingestion dose from liquid effluent and external dose from sediment deposition is determined at the point at which the liquid effluent leaves the diffuser in the Congaree River.

The release rates for gaseous effluent are determined by gross alpha measurements performed on daily air samples, one per stack for 46 stacks (Attachment 1). The release rates for liquid effluent are determined by isotopic analysis of composite liquid effluent samples taken monthly (Attachment 3).

Based on these results, the following quantities were released in calendar year 2021:

528.5 µCi of Uranium in gaseous effluent 3,064 µCi of Uranium in liquid effluent 3,310 µCi of Technetium in liquid effluent Using these results and the methods previously mentioned the whole body dose, dose to the bone, and dose to the lung were determined for a hypothetical individual present at the nearest site boundary. Table 1 provides a summary of the results for each pathway. The gaseous and liquid effluents released during 2021 resulted in a potential whole body dose of 0.24 mrem, 0.008 mrem to the bone, and 1.89 mrem to the lung for an individual present at the nearest site boundary. The estimated whole body dose is well below the 25 mrem annual dose limit and the 1 mrem ALARA goal for a member of the public.

  • Assumes 80 % residence time There were no changes in source material and no release points were added during 2021. Gaseous effluent sample locations 1240, 1242, 1243, and 1246 were removed from the sampling program in the 2nd half of 2021 because these ventilation systems are outside the scope of the effluent monitoring program. All four systems are recirculating comfort air systems that are non-process related and do not exhaust to the atmosphere.

WestinghouseNonProprietaryClass3 Page 3 of 3 Our ref: LTR-EHS-22-09 February 21, 2022 In addition, the height and diameter for each gaseous effluent stack were physically verified during the 2nd half of 2021. Several stack heights were identified to be incorrect, and SEPS-009-16 was revised to reflect the actual field measurements. Neither of these parameters are used for calculating release concentrations so there is no impact to the calculations performed by the Personnel Exposure System. Stack height is used by the Comply code to estimate dose to a member of the public, however, the impact on historical results was determined to be negligible based on re-runs of the Comply code using the revised stack heights.

The attachments below illustrate the method used to calculate each result listed in Table 1.
