SUMMARY
The Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report describes the radioactive effluent control program conducted at the North Anna Power Station and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) during the 2023 calendar year. This document summarizes the quantities of radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents and solid waste released from the North Anna Power Station and ISFSI in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.21 during the period of January I through December 31, 2023 and includes an assessment of radiation doses to the maximum exposed member of the public due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents.
There were no releases from the ISFSI during 2023.
There were no unplanned releases, meeting the reporting criteria of Section 6.7.2.a.3 of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual during this reporting period. Also, there were no spills or leaks meeting the voluntary communication criteria of the NEI Ground Water Protection Initiative. This will be discussed in Attachment 6.
10 CFR 50, Appendix I dose calculations were performed on the 2023 effluent release data in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. The results of these pathway dose calculations indicate the following:
- a. The total body dose due to liquid effluents was 5.662E-0l mrem, which is 9.437% of the dose limit, and the critical organ dose due to liquid effluents was 5.668E-0l mrem, which is 2.834% of the dose limit.
- b. The air dose due to noble gases was 5.048E-06 mrad gamma, which is 2.525E-05% of the annual gamma dose limit, and 8.499E-06 mrad beta, which is 2.125E-05% of the annual beta dose limit.
- c. The critical organ dose for I-131, I-133, H-3, and paiticulates with half-lives greater than 8 days including C-14 was l.060E+0 mrem, which is 3.53% of the annual dose limit. The bases ofC-14 calculations are described in Attachment 9.
- d. The critical organ dose for I-131, I-133, H-3, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days not including C-14 was
- 3. l 76E-03 mrem, which is l.059E-02% of the annual dose limit.
There were no major changes to either the radioactive liquid waste treatment system, or to the gaseous, and solid waste treatment systems during this reporting period.
There was no revision to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual during this reporting period.
Based on the levels ofradioactivity observed during this reporting period and the dose calculations perfonned, the operations of the No1th Anna Nuclear Power Station Units I and 2 and ISFSI have resulted in negligible dose consequences to the maximum exposed member of the public in unrestricted areas.
4 2.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The Radioactive Effluent Release Report includes, in Attachment 1, a summary of the quantities of radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents and solid waste as outlined in Regulatory Guide 1.21, "Measuring, Evaluating, and Repo1ting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants",
Revision 1, June 1974, with data summarized on a quarterly basis for Table I and 2 and on an annual basis on Table 3. The rep01t submitted before May !st of each year includes an assessment of radiation doses to the maximum exposed member of the public due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents released from the site during the previous calendar year. The report also includes a list of unplanned releases during the reporting period in Attachment 6.
As required by Technical Specification, any changes to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) for the time period covered by this report are included in Attachment 3.
Major changes to radioactive liquid, gaseous and solid waste treatment systems are reported in Attachment 4, as required by the ODCM, Section 6.7.2.a.4. Information to support the reason(s) for the change(s) and a summary of the 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation are included.
As required by the ODCM, Sections 6.2.2.b.2 and 6.3.2.b.3, a list and explanation for the inoperability ofradioactive liquid and/or gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation is provided in Attachment 5 of this rep01t.
3.0 DISCUSSION The basis for the calculation of percent of Technical Specification for the critical organ in Table I A of Attachment 1 is the ODCM, section 6.3. I, which requires that the dose rate for iodine-131, iodine-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in paiticulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days be less than or equal to 1500 mrem/yr to the critical organ at or beyond the site boundary.
The basis for the calculation of percent of Technical Specification for the total body and skin in Table I A of Attachment I is the ODCM, section 6.3.1, which requires that the dose rate for noble gases to areas at or beyond the site boundary shall be less than or equal to 500 mrem/yr to the total body and less than or equal to 3000 mrem/yr to the skin.
The beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases released from the site were calculated at site boundaiy. The maximum exposed member of the public from the releases of airborne iodine-I 31, iodine-I 33, tritium and all radionuclides in pa1ticulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days, including carbon-14 is defined as a child, exposed through the vegetation pathway, with the critical organ being the bone. If carbon-14 is excluded from these calculations, the maximum exposed member of the public from the releases of airborne iodine-131, iodine-133, tritium and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days is defined as a child, exposed through the vegetation pathway, with the critical organ being the thyroid gland.
5 The basis for the calculation of the percent of Technical Specification in Table 2A in Attachment 1 is the ODCM, section 6.2.1, which states that the concentrations of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to unrestricted areas shall be limited to 10 times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 2.0E-4 uCi/ml.
The maximum exposed member of the public for calculation of total body dose from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released to unrestricted areas is defined as a child. The critical organ dose calculation was detetmined to be the child liver. The age group is exposed via the drinking water and fish ingestion pathways.
As shown in Attachment 6, there were no unplanned releases meeting the requirements of6.7.2.a.3 of the ODCM.
The typical Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) capabilities of the radioactive effluent analysis instrumentation are presented in Attachment 7. These LLD values are based upon conservative conditions (i.e., minimum sample volume and maximum delay time prior to analysis). Actual LLD values may be lower. If a radioisotope was not detected when effluent samples were analyzed, then the activity of that radioisotope was reported as Not Detectable (N/D) on Attachment I of this report. Ifan analysis for an isotope was not performed, then the activity was reported as Not Applicable (N/A).
4.0 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
As required by the ODCM, section 6.6.2, evaluation of the Land Use Census is perfonned to identify if new location(s) need be added for the radiological environmental monitoring program pursuant to the ODCM. There were no new sampling locations added. There were two (2) garden location changes during the reporting period. The nearest garden location in the SW sector changed from 3.96 miles to 2.16 miles. The nearest garden location in the WNW sector changed from 2.67 miles to 2.05 miles.
Section 6.6.1.b.4 of the ODCM requires identification of the cause(s) for the unavailability of milk or leafy vegetation samples, and the identification ofnew locations for obtaining replacement samples. Milk samples were not collected in 2023 because the last of the operating dairies in the sampling area ceased operations at the start of calendar year 2018. Vegetation samples were not collected from stations 14B, 15, 16, 23 and 26 from January through March and November through December due to seasonal unavailability. All other vegetation samples were obtained.
Attachment 8 contains the results of samples associated with ground water protection sampling undertaken at North Anna to voluntarily comply with the Nuclear Energy Institute, NEI, Ground Water Protection Initiative. In addition to the well, river, and surface water samples included as part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, North Anna obtained subsurface water samples from various locations on the site.
Attachment 9 contains an explanation of the bases for the carbon-14 calculations performed to assess doses due to carbon-14.
Doses and %TS for gaseous releases are displayed with C-14 included and without for comparison of the values.

10 ATTACHMENT 5 INOPERABILITY OF RADIOACTIVE LIQUID AND GASEOUS
EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION
(01/23 - 12/23)
As required by the ODCM, Sections 6.2.2.b.2 and 6.3.2.b.3, a list and explanation for extended inoperability ofradioactive liquid and/or gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation is provided in this attachment.
l-SS-RM-125, Ul HCBD effluent radiation monitor, was out of service for more than 30 consecutive days during the rep01ting period. The monitor was initially declared non-functional on 12/31/22 @22: 16 when a l-SS-RM-125 "trouble alann "was received in the Control Room. l-SS-RM-125 indications were nonnal and grab sampling showed that High Capacity Blowdown liquid effluent remained non radioactive.
On O 1/04/23, while troubleshooting and calibrating I-SS-RM-125, it was found that the reference and Cs-137 peaks were out of specification. The Cs-137 peak was found to be at 701 KeV with an acceptable range of 656 KeV to 668 KeV. The reference peak was found to be at 898 KeV with an acceptable range of 800 Ke V to 850 KeV. Detector high voltage was adjusted and all readings were brought within specification. l-SS-RM-125 remained non functional pending further investigation and observation.
On 02/02/23 it was discovered, during l-SS-RM-125 calibration, that the reference peak was again out of specification. The reference peak was found to be at 875 KeV with an acceptable range of800 KeV to 850 KeV. The radiation monitor manufacturer, Mirion, was contacted for assistance in detennining a possible cause of the monitor's continued drifting condition. During discussions with Mirion, a representative advised that peak drifting could be caused by inadequate perfonnance of the radiation monitors "MA" electronic board.
Subsequently, the "MA" electronic board was replaced. Following "MA" electronic board replacement and detector adjustments, the detector calibration was completed on 02/02/23." MA" board induced electronic drifting was a condition with which the organization was not familiar which made the associated time necessary to diagnose and conect the issue longer than would be normally expected.
Following the "MA" electronic board replacement on 02/02/23 the l-SS-RM-125, U-1 High Capacity Blowdown Effluent Monitor perfonnance was evaluated and trended over a period of time. During this period of evaluation and trending, no other issues were noted with the radiation monitors perfonnance and no instances of electronic drifting were identified.
The U-1 High Capacity Blowdown Effluent Monitor, 1-SS-RM-125, was returned to functional status on 02/20/23.

UNPLANNED RELEASES
(01/23 - 12/23)
As required by the ODCM, Section 6.7.2.a.3, a list of unplanned releases, from the site to unrestricted areas, ofradioactive material in
gaseous and liquid effluents occurring during the reporting period, is made in this attachment.
There were no unplanned releases during calendar year 2023 meeting the criteria of Section 6. 7.2.a.3 of the ODCM from the site to
unrestricted areas. Also, there were no spills or leaks that required voluntary communication under the criteria of the NEI Ground
Water Protection Initiative, NEI 07-07. The current groundwater monitoring network provides adequate assurance that radiological
contamination of groundwater will be detected in a timely manner. (i.e., prior to migration offsite). Both the historic and current
tritium levels do not pose a risk to human health and the environment. The cmTent tritium levels are well below the drinking
water standard of20,000 pCi/L. Furthermore, the impacted groundwater is controlled and discharged via a monitored discharge.

RESULTS OF GROUND WATER PROTECTION INITIATIVE SAMPLE ANALYSIS (01/23 - 12/23)
The Ground Water Protection Program was established to improve North Anna's management of and response to instances where the inadvertent release ofradioactive substances may result in low but detectible levels of plant-related materials in subsurface soils and water.
It complies with the requirements ofNEI 07-07, INDUSTRY GROUND WATER PROTECTION INITIATIVE - FINAL GUIDANCE DOCUMENT. The industry initiative is intended to improve public trust and confidence in the nuclear industry through sampling and analysis of ground water and timely and effective communication with stakeholders, including the public and local, state, and federal officials.
Samples are obtained from monitoring wells installed both inside and outside the restricted area on a quaiterly basis and analyzed onsite.
Annually, during the second quarter, these samples are analyzed by an Independent Lab. Samples are also obtained from sumps and yard drains on a quarterly basis and analyzed onsite. Samples may be obtained more frequently than normal, ifrequired and may be analyzed on-site or by an Independent Lab. The required Lower Limits of Detection, LLDs, and reporting limits for the ground water detection program are those associated with the radiological environmental program as listed in Attachments 11 and 12 to VPAP-2103N.
On the following pages is a summary of the samples and results of the ground water protection program taken for calendar year 2023. All liquid results are rep01ted in pCi/L, while soil results for tritium are reported in pCi/g of soil, wet. An "N/ A" indicates a sample analysis was not performed for that sample. A"< value" indicates an analysis was performed but the result was less than the Minimum Detectable Activity, MDA, and the required LLD. If a result is greater than the MDA, but less than the LLD the result is listed. Some of these results may be false positives, due to the analysis software or interferences from naturally occurring radioactivity. In these cases, instead of the value, an explanatory footnote is provided.

20 ATTACHMENT 9 CARBON-14 CALCULATIONS (01/23 - 12/23)
Carbon-I 4, C-14, is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon produced by cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere. Nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s significantly increased the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere. Due to the long half-life of C-14, 5730 years, a significant portion of the C-14 from this testing is still present in the environment. C-14 is also produced in commercial nuclear reactors, but the amounts produced are much less than those produced naturally or from weapons testing.
In Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 2, "Measuring, Evaluating, and Repo1ting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste", the NRC has recommended that U.S. nuclear power plants evaluate whether C-14 is a "principal radionuclide", and if so, report the amount of C-14 released. At North Anna, improvements over the years in fuel performance have resulted in a decrease in the amount and distribution of radionuclides released to the environment in gaseous effluents. As a result, C-14 has become a "principal radionuclide" for the gaseous effluent pathway at North Anna, as defined in Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 2. Because the dose contribution of C-14 to liquid radioactive waste is a small fraction of the dose compared to other nuclides, evaluation of C-14 in liquid effluents is not required by Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 2.
The quantity of gaseous C-14 released to the environment can be estimated by use of a C-14 source term scaling factor based on power generation. North Anna utilized methodology in EPRI Report, Estimation of C-14 in Nuclear Power Gaseous Effluents. Based on this document, at full capacity, North Anna would generate and release about 31.8 Ci of C-14 per year. Since the units did not operate at full power for 100% of the year, this value was corrected for the capacity factor of each unit yielding an estimated 29.1 Ci ofC-14 produced and released. North Anna assumed that the fractional release of gaseous C-14 in any quarter and pathway could be approximated by the fraction of noble gasses released via that pathway in that quaiter.
Most C-14 species initially produced in a Pressurized Water Reactor are organic, e.g., methane. C-14 releases in PWRs occur primarily as a mix of organic carbon and carbon dioxide released from the waste gas system. C-14 in the primary coolant is essentially all organic with a large fraction as a gaseous species. Any time the RCS liquid or gas is exposed to an oxidizing environment, a slow transfonnation from an organic to an inorganic chemical fo1m can occur. Various studies documenting measured C-14 releases from PWRs suggest a range of 70% to 95% organic. North Anna used a value of70% organic and 30% CO2 in its calculations.
Public dose estimates from airborne C-14 were performed using dose models in NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109. The estimated C-14 dose impact on the maximum organ dose from airborne effluents released at North Anna is estimated to be 4.998E-2 mrem from the inhalation pathway, or 3.332E-03% TS of the 1500 mrem/yr dose rate limit and l.007E+00 mrem from the ingestion pathway or 3.356E+00% TS of the 10CFR50, Appendix I, ALARA design objective of 15 mrem/yr per unit. In both cases the critical organ was determined to be the child's bone.
