SUMMARY
Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS) Radiological Effluent Control (REC) Program was established to limit the quantities of radioactive material that may be released based on calculated radiation doses or dose rates. Dose to Members ofthe Public due to radioactive materials released from the plant is limited by Technical Specifications, 1 O CFR 20, and by 40 CFR 190. Operational doses to the public during 2023 were calculated to be within the limits required by regulation and compared to other sources of radiation dose and pose no health hazard. These doses are summarized and compared to the,regulatory limits in Section 2.1 Comparison to Regulatory Limits below.
The Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) is published per REC requirements and provides data related to plant operation, including: quantities of radioactive materials released in liquid and gaseous effluents; radiation doses to members of the public; solid radioactive waste shipped offsite for processing or direct disposal; and other information as required. by site licensing documents.
In 2023, the gaseous effluent dose assessments for locations from the Land Use Census showed that the critical receptor for Dresden Nuclear Power Station is the infant. The maximum Annual Organ Dose calculated for this receptor from the site was 3.73E-02 mrem to the thyroid.
The maximum dose calculated to any organ due to radioactive liquid effluents was 2.34E-09 mrem for child total body.
Solid radioactive waste shipped offsite for processing or direct disposal included 1.48E+02 Curies and 1.02E+03 m3, shipped in 48 shipments.
In addition to monitoring radioactive effluents, DNPS has a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) that monitors for levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the local environment. Data from the REMP is published in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR).

3.0 INTRODUCTION
3.1 About Nuclear Power Commercial nuclear power plants are generally classified as either Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) or Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), based on their design. A BWR includes a single coolant system where water used as reactor coolant boils as it passes through the core and the steam generated is used to turn the turbine generator for power production. A PWR, in contrast, includes two separate water systems: radioactive reactor coolant and a secondary system. Reactor coolant is maintained under high pressure, preventing boiling. The high-pressure coolant is passed through a heat exchanger called a steam generator where the secondary system water is boiled, and the steam is used to turn the turbine generator for power production.

Plant: Dresden Nuclear Power Station 3.1 (Continued)
Electricity is generated by a nuclear power plant similarly to the way that electricity is generated at other conventional types of power plants, such as those powered by coal or natural gas. Water is boiled to generate steam; the steam turns a turbine that is attached to a generator and the steam is condensed back into water to be returned to the boiler. What makes nuclear power different from these other types of power plants is that the heat is generated by fission and decay reactions occurring within and around the core containing fissionable uranium (U-235).
Nuclear fission occurs when certaii:, nuclides (primarily U-233, U-235, or Pu-239) absorb a neutron and break into several smaller nuclides (called fission products) as well as producing some additional neutrons.
Fission results in production of radioactive materials including gases and solids that must be contained to prevent release or treated prior to release. These effluents are generally treated by filtration and/or hold-up prior to release. Releases are generally monitored by sampling and by continuously indicating radiation monitors. The effluent release data is used to calculate doses in order to ensure that dose to the public due to plant operation remains within required limits.
Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report I YEAR: 2023 I Page 11 of 62 Licensee: Constellation Enerav Companv, LLC I Plant: Dresden Nuclear Power Station 3.2 About Radiation Dose Ionizing radiation, including alpha, beta, and gamma radiation from radioactive decay, has enough energy to break chemical bonds in tissues and result in damage to tissue or genetic material. The amount of ionization that will be generated by a given exposure to ionizing radiation is quantified as dose. Radiation dose is generally reported in units of millirem (mrem) in the US.

The National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP) has evaluated the population dose for the US and determined that the average individual is exposed to approximately 620 mrem per year [3]. There are many sources for radiation dose, ranging from natural background sources to medical procedures, air travel, and industrial processes. Approximately half (310 mrem) of the average exposure is due to natural sources of radiation including exposure to radon, cosmic radiation, and internal radiation and terrestrial due to naturally occurring radionuclides. The remaining 310 mrem of exposure is due to man-made sources of exposure, with the most significant contributors being medical (48% of total mrem per year) due to radiation used in various types of medical scans and treatments. Of the remaining 2%
of dose, most is due to consumer activities such as air travel, smoking cigarettes, and building materials. A small fraction of this 2% is due to industrial activities including generation of nuclear power.
Readers that are curious about common sources and effects of radiation dose that they may encounter can find excellent sources of information from the Health Physics Society, including the Radiation Fact Sheets [4], and from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission website [5].

[ YEAR: 2023 I Page 13 of 62 Licensee: Constellation Enerav Comoany, LLC I Plant: Dresden Nuclear Power Station 3.3 About Dose Calculation Concentrations of radioactive material in the environment resulting from plant operations are very small and it is not possible to determine doses directly using measured activities of environmental samples. To overcome this, dose calculations based on measured activities of effluent streams are used to model the dose impact for Members of the Public due to plant operation and effluents. There are several mechanisms that can result in dose to Members of the Public, including: Ingestion of radionuclides in food or water; Inhalation of radionuclides in air; Immersion in a plume of noble gases; and Direct Radiation from the ground, the plant or from an elevated plume.

Figure 4, Potential exposure pathways to Members of the Public due to Plant Operations (6)
Each plant has an Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) that specifies the methodology used to obtain the doses in the Dose Assessment section of this report.
The dose assessment methodology in the ODCM is based on NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 [7] and NUREG-0133 [8]. Doses are calculated by determining what the nuclide concentration will be in air, water, on the ground, or in food products based on plant effluent releases. Release points are continuously monitored to quantify what concentrations of nuclides are being released. For gaseous releases meteorological data is used to determine how much of the released activity will be present at a given location outside of the plant either deposited onto the ground or in gaseous form.
Intake patterns and nuclide bio-concentration factors are used to determine how much activity will be transferred into animal milk or meat. Finally, human ingestion factors and dose factors are used to determine how much activity will be consumed and how much dose the consumer will receive. Inhalation dose is calculated by determining the concentration of nuclides and how much air is breathed by the individual.

Licensee: Constellation Enerav Company, LLC I Plant: Dresden Nuclear Power Station 3.3 (Continued)
For liquid releases, dilution and mixing factors are used to model the environmental concentrations in water. Drinking water pathways are modeled by determining the concentration of nuclides in the water at the point where the drinking water is sourced (e.g., taken from wells, rivers, or lakes). Fish and invertebrate pathways are determined by using concentration at the release point, bioaccumulation factors for the fish or invertebrate and an estimate of the quantity of fish consumed.
Each year a Land Use Census is performed to determine what potential dose pathways currently exist within a five-mile radius around the plant, the area most affected by plant operations. The Annual Land Use Census identifies the locations of vegetable gardens, nearest residences, milk animals and meat animals. The data from the census is used to determine who is the likely to be most exposed to radiation dose as a result of plant operation.
There is significant uncertainty in dose calculation results, due to modeling dispersion of material released and bioaccumulation factors, as well as.assumptions associated with consumption and land-use patterns. Even with these sources of uncertainty, the calculations do provide a reasonable estimate of the order of magnitude of the exposure. Conservative assumptions are made in the calculation inputs such as the number of various foods and water consumed, the amount of air inhaled, and the amount of direct radiation exposure from the ground or plume, such that the actual dose received are likely lower than the calculated dose. Even with the built-in conservatism, doses calculated for the maximum exposed individual due to plant operation are a very small fraction of the annual dose that is received due to other sources. The calculated doses due to plant effluents, along with REMP results, serve to provide assurance that radioactive effluents releases are not exceeding safety standards for the environment or people living near the plant.

Plant: Dresden Nuclear Power Station 4.0 4.1 4.2 DOSE ASSESSMENT FOR PLANT OPERATIONS Regulatory Limits Regulatory limits are detailed in station licensing documents such as the plant Technical Specifications and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). These documents contain the limits to which DNPS must adhere. DNPS drives to maintain the philosophy to keep dose "as low as is reasonably achievable" (ALARA) and actions are taken to reduce the amount of radiation released to the environment.
Liquid and gaseous release data show that the dose from DNPS is well below the ODCM limits. The instantaneous concentration of liquid radioactive material released shall be limited to ten times the concentration specified in 1 O CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases.
For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the total concentration released shall be limited to 2.0 x 10-4 microcuries/mL.
The annual whole body, skin and organ dose was computed using the 2023 source term using the dose calculation methodology provided in the ODCM.

These samples are obtained weekly and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. The particulate filters are composited and sent to a vendor for gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, Ni-63 and Fe-55 analysis quarterly. Noble gas grab samples of the 2/3 Chimney and 2/3 Reactor Building Vent are obtained weekly and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. Contributing streams of the 2/3 Chimney and 2/3 Reactor Building Vent are also sampled and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. Tritium samples of the 2/3 Chimney and 2/3 Reactor Building Vent are obtained monthly and analyzed by liquid scintillation.
For the 2/3 Chimney arid 2/3 Reactor Building Vent effluents, the resultant activity concentration and measured flowrate at the release points are used to calculate the curies released. For the Chemical Cleaning Building effluent, the design basis flows are used to calculate curies released.
The Unit 1 Main Turbine Floor is used as an area to work on contaminated equipment. The Unit 1 Fuel Building is used as a storage area and potentially as a work area. The ventilation systems to these areas are no longer operational and the areas are at ambient pressure with the outside environment. The potential exists for airborne activity to be released to the environment through various points. Based on

The Unit 2/3 Heating Steam System has been contaminated in the past and occasionally contains low-level contamination. During normal operation, the*
condensate is converted to steam, a portion of which gets vented to the atmosphere.
If tritium was identified above minimum detectable activity in 2023, permits are generated for the appropriate activity released. This will continue to be monitored when the system is running.
The Chemistry Laboratory exhausts directly into the environment via its ventilation system and is not monitored. The activity concentration from the Offgas Recombiner samples taken weekly from each unit and the sample size (15 cc) was used to calculate a monthly activity released from each unit from the Chemistry Hot Lab fumehood. This activity was captured in the monthly 1 0CFR50 Appendix I calculation and is included in the noble gas totals in Table 11, Gaseous Effluents - Ground Level Release Continuous Mode Unit 2 and Table 13, Gaseous Effluents - Ground Level Release Continuous Mode Unit 3.

A representative portion of this sample is saved and composited with other discharges that occur during the calendar month.
The composite is sent to a vendor for analyses of gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, Ni-63 and Fe-55. The tank volumes and activities are used to calculate the diluted activity released at the discharge point from batch discharges. If discharges from the Waste Surge Tank occurred, the information is captured in batch release information.
Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report I YEAR: 2023 I Page 18 of 62 Licensee: Constellation Energy Company, LLC I Plant: Dresden Nuclear Power Station Containment Cooling Service Water (CCSW) is sampled from the Low-Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) heat exchangers monthly and analyzed for gamma-emitting nuclides by gamma spectroscopy. These samples are composited quarterly and analyzed for tritium, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55, and Ni-63. Results are conservatively applied for each month of the quarter. Batch release volume is based on LPCI heat exchanger volume.
On-site storm sewers are sampled and analyzed for tritium content. The CBG well tritium concentration measured during each month of 2023 was used to calculate the released activity for each month via the storm sewers. The volume was based on the monthly rain fall over a 100,000 sqft area of the Site.
Water in the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) effluent is routinely sampled and analyzed for tritium, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55, and Ni-63.
Beginning in September 2019, groundwater from the West Tritium Remediation Well was monitored via the 2/3 Discharge Tunnel. Although this is a planned continuous release, it is being mentioned here due to its relatively short duration over this life of the plant.
The estimated calculated dose from all of these releases was well below the regulatory limit of 25 mRem/yr for the whole body and 75 mRem/yr Thyroid as well as an-quarterly dose limits.

General Electric Facility located southwest of the plant on Collins Road.
Skyshine The radioactivity source that results in the most significant offsite radiation dose at the Dresden Station is skyshine resulting from 16N decay inside turbines and steam piping.
The 16N that produces the skyshine effect is formulated through neutron activation of the oxygen atoms in the reactor coolant as the coolant passes through the operating reactor core.
The 16N travels with the steam produced in the reactor to the steam-driven turbine. VVhile the 16N is in transport, it radioactively decays with a half-life of about 7 seconds and produces 6-7 MeV gamma rays. Typically, offsite dose points are shielded from a direct view of components containing 16N, but there can be skyshine at offsite locations due to scattering of gamma rays off the mass of air above the steam lines and turbine.
The dose rate due to skyshine has been found to have the following dependencies:
- 1.
The dose rate decreases as distance from the station increases.
- 2.
The dose rate increases non-linearly as the power production level increases.
- 3.
The dose rate increases when hydrogen is added to the reactor coolant, an action taken to improve reactor coolant chemistry characteristics.
To calculate offsite dose due to skyshine in a given time period, Dresden Station must track the following parameters:
- 1.
The total gross energy fa produced with hydrogen being added.
- 2.
The total gross energy Eo produced without hydrogen being added.
The turbines at the site are sufficiently close to each other that energy generated by the two operating units may be summed. Because the hydrogen addition system is normally in-service during plant operation, the conservative assumption that all power is generated during hydrogen addition can be used.
An initial estimate of skyshine dose is calculated using equation 5-1 on page 11.5.4 in the Dresden Offsite Dose Calculation Manual with the following assumptions from Table 5.1 on page 11.5-11:
Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report I YEAR: 2023 I Page 22 of 6;2 Licensee: Constellation Enerav Company, LLC I Plant: Dresden Nuclear Power Station Parameters for Calculations of N-16 Skyshine Radiation from Dresden Units 2 and 3 Shielding Location Occupancy Occupancy Factor Number K Activity Hours {OH)

610 These parameters are used to obtain an initial estimate of skyshine dose to the maximally exposed member of the public using Equation 5-1. If desired, more realistic parameters couid be used in place of these to refine the estimate. For example, one could determine whether the nearest resident really fishes the specified number of hours at the specified location.
- a.
The amount of time in a year that a maximally exposed fisherman would spend fishing near the site is estimated as 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> per week for 8 months per year. This yields an estimate of:
- 1.
[12.hours/week] x [(8 months/yr)/(12 months/yr)] x [52 weeks/yr] = 416 hour0.00481 days <br />0.116 hours <br />6.878307e-4 weeks <br />1.58288e-4 months <br />s/yr
- 2.
The remaining time is assumed to be spent at the nearest res_idence.
- b.
Distance to nearest residence (See ODCM Table 4-1).
- c.
Estimated from a drawing of the site.
- d.
The OFk is the quotient of the number of hours a location is occupied and the number of hours in a year. Thus OHk/8760 hours = OFk rounded to the 0.01 digit.
- 3.
A survey of the nearest residents revealed that as they do enjoy fishing, they spend far less time than the above estimate. In addition, because they live on the Kankakee River, they enjoy fishing at their homes rather than the designated 610 meters from the plant. :
As such, these assumptions have been adjusted in order to calculate a more accurate dose to the nearest resident at 868 meters from the plant with 8000 occupancy hours per*
year. This yielded a dose from Unit 2 due to skyshine of 2. t14 mrem and 2.256 mrem from Unit 3 for a total of 4.369 mrem for the site.
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation There are currently two ISFSI pads (east and west) located within the Protected area of the Dresden station. These casks contain the spent fuel from the reactor, and the pad is designeq to store the spent fuel until a more suitable location is available. Optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters (OSLO) are placed on the fence around the pads and exchanged semi-annually to measure the direct dose from the ISFSI pad. The dose from each location is summed to acquire an annual dose for that specific location a known distance from the casks.
The equation for a point source is used (DR1*D?= DR2*Dl) to calculate the annual dose to the nearest member of the public. The OSLO with the highest annual reading was used
Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report I YEAR: 2023 I Page 23 of 62 Licensee: Constellation Energy Companv, LLC I Plant: Dresden Nuclear Power Station because they have a lesser contribution by percent of background radiation lending to more accuracy in the dose attributable only to the ISFSI pad.

This resulted in a combined annual dose of 3.56E+00 mrem due to direct radiation from storage of spent fuel on the IFSFI pads.

The Condensate Storage Tanks (A and 8) are a source of make-up water and has become contaminated through the operation of the plant. Although the level of contamination of the water inside the tank isn't at a level to produce a measurable dose rate, tanks are specifically listed in 40CFR 190 and a calculation of the annual dose to the nearest resident must be performed.
A direct radiation dosimeter (07), was placed on the northeast perimeter fence of the 2/3 Condensate Storage Tank identical to those on the ISFSI pad, and as such will use the same methodology to calculate an annual dose.

- Licensee: Constellation Energy Company, LLC I Plant: Dresden Nuclear Power Station GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Facility This facility is located southwest of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station on Collins Rd and is the location of a de facto high-level radioactive waste storage site that holds 772 tons of spent nuclear fuel. The used fuel from various nuclear generating sites across the country are stored in a spent fuel pool at this location.
Since the source of radiation from the site is from the Uranium fuel cycle, the site is also required to ensure that the requirements of 40CFR190 and 1 0CFR72 are met.
Therefore, an Annual Operating Report is generated and submitted to the NRC to demonstrate that the regulatory limits are not exceeded to members of the public.
40CFR190 states that the annual whole-body dose to a member ofthe public shall not exceed 25 mrem/yr from all sources of the uranium fuel cycle. This distinction dictates that the sum of the dose from the operation of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station and the GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy site cannot cause a member of the public to exceed a whole-body dose of 25 mrem/year. As a result, communication from the two sites is necessary to exchange the calculated dose contributions to ensure this requirement is met. The dose contribution from the GE Hitachi site for the 2023 year was: t.79E-01 mrem/yr.
5.10.3 Carbon-14 Carbon-14 (C-14) is a naturally occurring radionuclide with a 5,730-year half-life.
Nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s significantly increased the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere. Nuclear power plants. also produce C-14, but the amount is infinitesimal compared to what has been distributed in the environment due to weapons testing and what is produced by natural cosmic ray interactions.
Carbon-14 activity released is determined using Electric. Power Research Institute Report 1021106 Boiling Water Reactor proxy value of 5.1 Ci per GWth year, gaseous release fraction of 0.99%, a carbon dioxide fraction of 0.95, a reactor power rating of 2957 MWt for Units 2 and 3. The resultant dose due to C-14 was calculated using the EPRI approved C-14 worksheet. The equivalent full power days (EFPD) of operation of Unit 2 was: 336.5 EFPD and Unit 3 was: 359.1 EFPD which resulted in 13. 76 Ci of C-14 from Unit 2 and 14.69 Ci from Unit 3 being produced in 2023. The calculated dose from C-14 produced from Unit 2 was: 4.96E-03 mrem/yr (Total Body-Child) and 5.29E-03 mrem/yr (Total Body-Child) for Unit 3 for a Station total of 1.03E-02 mrem/yr.
C-14 activities are included in Table 23, Gaseous Effluents - Elevated Level Release Continuous Mode Unit 2 and Table 25, Gaseous Effluents - Elevated Level Release Continuous Mode Unit 3.

2023 Annual RGPP Monitoring Report Summary of Resu Its and Cone! us ions Dresden Generating Station Morris, Illinois Geologists Hydrogeologists GIS Analysts Environmental Scientists This letter report presents the summary of Radiologic Groundwater Protection Plan (RGPP) results for the 2023 groundwater and surface water monitoring rounds conducted at the Constellation Dresden Generating Station. RGPP data for previous monitoring rounds is summarized in AMO's semi-annual/quarterly reports.
Background
In 2006, Conestoga-Rovers & Associates (CRA) was retained by Exelon Nuclear to perform a hydrogeologic investigation at the Dresden Generating Station to evaluate whether groundwater at or near the Station has been impacted by releases of radionuclides. Prior to performing the investigation, CRA evaluated available information concerning historic releases, as well as components, structures, and areas of the facility that have the potential to release radioactive liquid to the environment.
The results of the 2006 investigation identified that almost half of the 39 wells within the protected are showed measurable concentrations of tritium. It was concluded that the tritium in groundwater within the protected area came from historic spills from above ground tanks and leaks of underground lines within the protected area. Groundwater samples collected outside the protected area showed no detectable tritium for 24 of the 26 wells. The two exceptions for the wells outside the protected area include wells DSP 149(R) and DSP-159-1 (M).
The results of the fleet wide study for the Dresden Generating Station (the Station) are presented in the report, entitled Hydrogeologic Investigation Report, Fleetwide Assessment, Dresden Generating Station, Braceville, Illinois (Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, September 2006). The referenced report also provides detailed descriptions of the Station's location, surrounding features and land use, subsurface geology and hydrogeology, and a summary of groundwater use in the area of the Station.
GHD completed three five-year update hydrogeologic investigation reports for the Station (NE! 07-07, Hydrogeologic Investigation Report, dated May 2011, December 201 5, and December 2020). The reports summarized station activities since the 2006 hydrogeologic investigation, including changes at the Station as well as RGPP sampling activities and groundwater flow. Relevant conclusions from the 2020 report are:
Tritium is not migrating off the Station at concentrations greater than the State of Illinois criteria of 200 pCi/L.
Tritium concentrations in groundwater were detected at concentrations greater than the USEPA drinking water standard. The maximum tritium concentration at the end of 20 19 was 33,850 pCi/L Dresden 2023 Summary Report
- T c"(I
2023 RGPP Monitoring Report Dresden Generating Station (MD-11). Tritium concentrations greater than the USEPA drinking water standard were limited to the "8" CST, south of the Unit 3 Turbine Building.
No gamma-radionuclides associated with licensed plant operations were detected at concentrations greater than their respective LLDs.
Select transuranics U-233/234 and U-238 were occasionally detected in several wells since 2016. The concentrations are considered background.
In 201 9, Ni-63 was consistently detected in monitoring wells MW-DN-1011 and MW-DN-11 91. Per revision 9 of the RGPP, and to investigate Ni-63 in groundwater, the Station includes Ni-63 and Fe-55 analysis for all Source wells and all Long-Term Shutdown wells currently sampled as part of the RGPP.
In 20 I 9, multiple Sr-90 concentrations were detected above its LLD. Sr-90 was detected in samples collected from MW-ON-I 05S three of the four sampling rounds in 20 19. Sr-90 was also detected in DSP-1 08 during the second quarter 2019 RGPP sampling round.
AFE-1 remains an ongoing tritium source to groundwater. No new AFEs were identified based on results between 2006 and 20 15.
Extraction well R W-DN-1 00S continued to withdraw tritiated water from the " B" CST area. Up until August/September 20 19, groundwater withdrawal from R W-DN-1 00S was on an intermittent basis.
Continuous groundwater extraction of RW-DN-I00S began in September 2019. As of the date of the report, over one million gallons of groundwater was extracted from RW-DN-1 00S. The extracted groundwater is discharged to the Kankakee River through a permitted outfall (Outfall 002).
The next hydrogeologic investigation update is due by the end of 2025.
"B" Condensate Storage Tank Elevated tritium concentrations in surface water (Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) samples and RGPP surface water samples), shallow aquifer samples, and intermediate aquifer samples were detected during the 2nd quarter 2014 RGPP sampling round. The source of the tritiated groundwater was determined to be the "8" Condensate Storage Tank (CST) south of the Turbine Buildings. The groundwater sample collected from shallow aquifer well MD-11, which is in the immediate vicinity of the CST, had a tritium concentration of approximately 1.5 million pCi/L. Subsequent samples collected from MD-I I have had a maximum tritium concentration of approximately 2.3 mi Ilion pCi/L (June 27, 20 14 ). The CST was taken out of service and water from the CST removed. The CST was inspected and subsequently repaired in August 2015.
A tritium monitoring plan was developed and implemented in June 20 14, with weekly sampling of surface water, storm sewer water, sewer treatment plant water, shallow aquifer groundwater, and intermediate aquifer groundwater to evaluate and delineate the tritium plume. A modified tritium monitoring plan was implemented in November 2014. Based on tritium data collected, the plume was relatively small and only encompassed the area between the CST and Turbine Building.
Two groundwater extraction wells (R W-DN-1 00S and RW-DN-10 IS) were installed in January 2015 to assist in the mitigation of tritiated groundwater in the area of the CST. Aquifer testing was completed on the two extraction wells near the end of2015. Results of the aquifer test concluded that only R W-DN-1 00S produced sufficient water to operate as a viable groundwater extraction well. RW-DN-1 00S began intermittent operation during the I st quarter 2016 and continued operating intermittently through August 2019. In August 2019, the extraction well began pumping groundwater on a continuous basis. The extracted water is discharged to the Dresden 202} SUrMW') Report* T~"

2023 RGPP Monitoring Report Dresden Generating Station Kankakee River through NPDES permitted Outfall 002. Overall, tritium concentrations in the area of the CST continue to decrease since the CST was repaired.
As of the end of 2023, the maximum tritium concentration in the area of the CST was approximately 4,330 pCi/L (MD-I I).
MW-DN-1191 Nickel 63 Hard-to-detect radionuclide Nickel-63 was detected at a concentration over 50 pCi/L in a sample collected during the 2nd quarter 2017. An investigation into the source of the Nickel-63 was completed and additional samples were collected from MW-DN-1191 and surrounding wells. Results and recommendations of the evaluation are included in AM O's Evaluation of Nickel -63 detections in MW-DN-1191 Update (March 28, 2018). Hard-to-detects (Fe-55 and Ni-63) are currently analyzed annually to monitor concentrations in the area of MW-DN-1191.
As of the end of 2023, Ni-63 was not detected in the sample collected from MW-DN-1191.
Current RGPP Summary Dresden Generating Station had a total of 59 wells (20 Background wells, 18 Source wells, six Mid-Field wells, ten Long-Term Shutdown wells, and five perimeter wells), that are sampled as part of the Station ROPP (EN-DR-408-4160 Revision I 0). Figure I a shows the shallow aquifer ROPP sample locations and Figure I b shows the intermediate aquifer ROPP sample locations.
ROPP sampling at the Station is performed by ATI, under contract to Exelon. Laboratory testing is performed by Teledyne Brown Engineering. The laboratory data, field data, and depth to water readings are uploaded to the RACER website, which is a data repository for the ROPP sampling rounds. The uploaded data is used by AMO for quarterly ROPP reporting.
Gross-Alpha Alert Level At Dresden Generating Station, gross-alpha (dissolved and suspended fractions) was analyzed annually from 201 1 through 2019. In 2020, gross-alpha data was evaluated to establish an Alert Level for the dissolved and suspended gross-alpha fractions. The gross alpha data was evaluated by looking at the average concentration for each gross-alpha fraction for each well. Statistical outlier results were considered during the gross-alpha evaluation. An outlier is a value that is significantly higher or lower than most of the results, that can skew the results and not reflect the true dataset. Therefore, outlier results are not factored into the average gross-alpha concentrations. Outliers were established using methods an online website such as Statisticshowto.com.
Additional websites identified similar statistical models for removing outlier data.
Procedure EN-DR-408-4160 (Revision 9) established an Alert Level of three times the ongoing average gross-alpha concentration for each ROPP monitoring well that had gross-alpha analyzed more than one time and that will continue to be monitored for during future ROPP sampling rounds. Note that in 2024, the Alert Level will change from three times the ongoing average to three times the ongoing standard deviation. According to the EN-DR-408-4160 (Revision I 0), samples from the eighteen Source designated sample points and ten Long-Term Shutdown designated wells will be analyzed once every two years for gross alpha dissolved and suspended fractions in the future. The Alert Level will be able to account for fluctuations in naturally occurring alpha activity in the area of wells, while identifying a result that may be indicative of a potential release.
Beginning in 202 1, select transuranics were analyzed if a gross alpha concentration exceeded the Alert Level in a particular well, to ensure that the Alert Level is conservative enough to detect whether licensed material could be present in groundwater. If the results of the select transuranics analysis showed no unusual activity, Page 3 of 10 AMO Environmental Decisions
2023 RGPP Monitoring Report Dresden Generating Station the gross-alpha result that triggered the select transuranics analysis, was incorporated into the ongoing average concentration for that well.
Table I provides a gross-alpha (dissolved and suspended) results summary as well as the average concentration and Alert Level for each well. Gross-alpha analysis was most recently performed on samples collected from Long-Term Shutdown Source designated wells during the 2nd quarter 2023 ROPP sampling round. Note that a sample could not be collected from Long-Term Shutdown well MW-DN-1171 because the well was inaccessible in 2023. Gross-alpha detections did not exceed the Alert Level in samples collected in 2023. Per the ROPP, all Long-Term Shutdown and Source designated wells will have gross-alpha analysis performed again in 2025.
Gamma-Radionuclides Gamma-radionuclide analysis has been performed on ROPP samples (quarterly to annually) at Dresden Generating Station since 2006. This extensive sampling and analysis produced over 16,800 data records for the Station. Gamma-radionuclides have not been detected at concentrations greater than their respective LLDs, in ROPP samples submitted to the vendor laboratory since 2006. Therefore, in the 2020 ROPP, gamma-radionuclide analysis frequency was reduced from annual to every two years.
Samples collected from all wells were most recently analyzed for gamma-radionuclides during the 2nd quarter 2023 ROPP sampling round. Note that a sample could not be collected from Long-Term Shutdown well MW-MW-DN-106S, MW-DN-1081, and DN-11 71 because the wells were inaccessible in 2023.
Gamma radionuclides were not detected at concentrations greater than their respective LLDs in the samples collected in 2023. All wells will have gamma-radionuclide analysis performed again in 2025.
Select Transuranics Select transuranics analysis is procedurally required annually for ROPP sample locations that were identified as Elevated designated wel Is in the historic EN-DR-408-4 160 revisions and continued additional evaluation is warranted. Additionally, as part of the current EN-DR-408-4160 (Revision l 0), select transuranics analysis is also warranted if a gross alpha concentration exceeds the Alert Level in a particular well.
Select transuranics analysis was performed on former Elevated designated wells MD-I 1, MW-DN-l 24S, and MW-DN-1241, during the 2nd quarter 2023 ROPP sampling round. Select Transuranics were not detected at concentrations greater than their respective LLDs in the samples collected during the 2nd quarter 2023 ROPP sampling round. Table 2 provides a summary of select transuranics results (U-233/234 and U-238) since 2006.
Hard-to-Detects {Fe-55 and Ni-63)
Hard-to-detect analysis (Fe-55 and Ni-63) is procedurally required annually for ROPP sample locations that were identified as Elevated designated wells in the historic EN-DR-408-4160 revisions and continued additional evaluation is warranted, as well as Long-Term Shutdown designated wells. Additionally, as part of the current EN-DR-408-4 160 (Revision 9), hard-to-detect analysis is warranted on samples collected from Source designated wells once every 5 years, starting in 2021.
In 2023, samples collected from the nine Long-Term Shutdown designated wells, one former Elevated designated well, and two Source designated well were analyzed for hard-to-detects (Fe-55 and Ni-63). Fe-55 and Ni-63 were not detected in the samples collected during the 2nd quarter 2023 ROPP sampling round.

Sr-89 and Sr-90 2023 RGPP Monitoring Report Dresden Generating Station Sr-89 and Sr-90 have been an annual procedurally required analysis on Detection, Long-Term Shutdown, and Elevated designated wells since sample point designations became part of the RGPP in 20 I 0. EN-DR-408-4160 (Revision 9) states that Sr-89 and 90 analyses should be performed annually for Source and Long-Term Shutdown designated sample locations. If a positive result is reported, samples collected from the wells with Sr-89 and Sr-90 detections will be analyzed quarterly to evaluate the activity in the area of the well. In 2022, samples were collected from the eighteen Source designated wells, nine Long-Term Shutdown designated wells, and one Mid-Field designated well (former Elevated designation) were analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90.
Sr-90 was detected in the sample collected from MW-DN-105S (3. 1 pCi/L) and DSP-108 (2.67 pCi/L). Sr-89 and Sr-90 were not detected in any of the other samples collected in 2023.
Precipitation Recapture Dresden Generating Station is a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) generating station. The RGPP requires BWR generating stations to sample precipitation on a semi-annual basis. The RGPP states that a minimum of eight samples should be collected from within the protected area in a manner that surrounds the Turbine Building and Reactor Building as well as ancillary structures that could vent tritiated vapor to the atmosphere.
In 2043, three sample rounds were completed in March, September, and December to evaluate if tritium was present in the atmosphere at the Station. Eight onsite samples were collected during each sampling round. A summary of 2023 precipitation recapture results is presented in Table 3 and sample locations are depicted on Figure 3. A summary of historic precipitation recapture results is provided in Appendix A.
Tritium was detected in one or more samples during the three sampling rounds completed in 2023. The highest tritium concentrations were reported during the December 2023 precipitation recapture sampling round with detected tritium concentrations ranging between 524 pCi/L (FW-2) and 914 pCi/L (FW-3).
Summary of 2023 RGPP Sampling Rounds March 2023 RGPP Sampling Round Activities (P' Quarter 2023)
Data Summary A total of 29 groundwater samples were collected during the I" quarter 2023 sampling round. A sample was not collected from MW-DN-1171 due to the well being inaccessible during the I s i quarter 2023. Per the RGPP, the Background, Perimeter, and Mid-Field designated wells were not sampled during the 1 si quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round. All samples were analyzed for tritium.
Tritium was detected in five shallow aquifer samples with a maximum tritium concentration of 12,700 pCi/L (MD-I I). Tritium was detected in eight intermediate aquifer samples with a maximum tritium concentration of 3,100 pCi/L (MW-DN-1241).
The tritium concentration in MW-DN-111S averaged 412 pCi/L since the inception of the RGPP in 2006 through the 4° 1 quarter 2019. The tritium concentration in MW-DN-111 S increased from approximately 1,000 pCi/L to almost 3,500 pCi/L between the 4 11, quarter 2019 and I st quarter 2020. The tritium concentration in the area of this well has been fluctuating between 1,470 pCi/L and 5,530 pCi/L since the I st quarter 2020. The I" quarter 2023 RGPP tritium result for this well was 7,380 pCi/L. The Station reviewed documents and performed an assessment of potential tritium sources in the area ofMW-DN-111 Sand did not find any potential Dre,d,en 2023 Summarv Report* Tex\\

2023 RGPP Monitoring Report Dresden Generating Station sources. The increased tritium activity in this well could be due to historic plumes migrating around the building structures.
The tritium concentration in MW-DN-14 1 S increased from 2,910 pCi/L to 4,430 pCi/L between the 3rd and 4'h quarter 2022 RGPP sampling rounds and shows an increasing tritium concentration trend since the beginning of 2022. The 1st quarter 2023 tritium result is similar to those reported in late 2022, at 3,760 pCi/L. It was recommended that the Station evaluate SSCs in the area ofMW-DN-14 1 S for potential sources of the increased tritium activity and sample MW-DN-141 S on a monthly basis to further evaluate the tritium concentration in the area of the wel I.
Tritium concentrations in samples collected from wells (other than MD-I I) used to monitor the CST leak have decreased to less than 2,000 pCi/L, indicating the extent of the CST leak is confined to a small geographic area south of the Turbine Building.
Water Elevations All groundwater sample locations, with the exception of MW-DN-1 171, had depth to water measurements collected during the I st quarter 2023 sampling round. The J s' quarter 2023 groundwater elevation data was compared to the I st quarter 2022 sampling round to evaluate if changes in groundwater elevations occurred that may have an effect on groundwater flow direction. The variations in groundwater elevations have no significant effect on groundwater flow direction. Based on comparison of groundwater elevations, the wells sampled effectively monitored groundwater conditions at the Station.
June 2023 RGPP Sampling Round Activities (2'"1 Quarter 2023)
Data Summary A total of 57 groundwater samples were collected during the 2nd quarter 2023 sampling round. Samples were not collected from MW-DN-106S, MW-DN-1081, and MW-DN-1171 due to inaccessibility or well damage during the 2nd quarter 2023. All samples were analyzed for tritium and gamma-radionuclides. The samples collected from Long-Term Shutdown designated wells were also analyzed for gross-alpha, hard-to-detects (Fe-55 and Ni-63) and Sr-89 and Sr-90. Source designated wells were also analyzed for gross-alpha and Sr-89 and Sr-90. Samples collected from mid-field designated well MW-DN-1241; and source designated wells MD-I I and MW-DN-I 24S were also analyzed for select transuranics and hard-to-detects (Fe-55 and Ni-63).
Tritium was detected in seven shallow aquifer samples with a maximum tritium concentration of 8,140 pCi/L (MD-I I). Tritium was detected in eleven intermediate aquifer samples with a maximum tritium concentration of2,170 pCi/L (MW-DN-1141).
The tritium concentration in MW-DN-11 lS averaged 412 pCi/L since the inception of the RGPP in 2006 through the 4th quarter 2019. The tritium concentration in MW-DN-11 1 S increased from approximately 1,000 pCi/L to almost 3,500 pCi/L between the 4th quarter 20 19 and I st quarter 2020. The tritium concentration in the area of this wel I has been fluctuating between 1,470 pCi/L and 5,530 pCi/L since the Is' quarter 2020. The 2nd quarter 2023 RGPP tritium result for this well was 5,380 pCi/L. The increased tritium activity in this well could be due to historic plumes migrating around the building structures.
Tritium concentrations in samples collected from wells (other than MD-I I) used to monitor the CST leak have generally decreased to less than 1,000 pCi/L, indicating the extent of the CST leak is confined to a small geographic area south of the Turbine Building.

2023 RGPP Monitoring Report Dresden Generating Station The tritium concentration in MW-ON-141 S increased from 2,910 pCi/L to 4,430 pCi/L between the J rd and 4th quarter 2022 RGPP sampling rounds and shows an increasing tritium concentration trend since the beginning of 2022. The 2 nd quarter 2023 tritium result is similar to those reported in late 2022, at 4,770 pCi/L. Two subsequent samples were collected after the completion of the 2nd quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round. As of the end of August 2023, the tritium concentration in the sample collected from MW-ON-141 S was 5,850 pCi/L.
It was recommended that the Station evaluate SSCs in the area ofMW-ON-141S for potential sources of the increased tritium activity and sample MW-ON-14 1 S on a monthly basis to further evaluate the tritium concentration in the area of the well.
Select transuranics analysis was performed on MD-I I, MW-DN-1 24S, and MW-DN-1241, during the 2nd quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round. Select Transuranics were not detected at concentrations greater than their respective LLDs in the samples collected during the 2nd quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round.
Ni-63 has historically been detected in samples collected from MW-DN-1 191 and MW-DN-10 I I. N i-63 was not detected in any of the samples collected during the 2nd quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round.
Sr-90 continued to be detected in the samples collected from MW-DN-105S at 3.1 pCi/L and OSP-108 at 2.67 pCi/L. Low level Sr-90 has been detected sporadically in these wells with a maximum Sr-90 concentration of 4.93 (MON-I 05S, March 20 13). Sr-90 was not detected in the other samples collected during the 2nd quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round.
Gamma-radionuclides were not detected in the samples collected from the samples collected in 2023.
Additionally, gross-alpha detections did not exceed their respective Alert Levels in the samples collected during the 2nd quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round.
Water Elevations All groundwater sample locations had depth to water measurements collected during the 2nd quarter 2023 sampling round. The 2nd quarter 2023 sampling round groundwater elevation data was compared to the 2nd quarter 2022 sampling round to evaluate if changes in groundwater elevations occurred that may have an effect on groundwater flow direction. The variations in groundwater elevations have no significant effect on groundwater flow direction. Based on comparison of groundwater elevations, the wells sampled effectively monitored groundwater conditions at the facility.

2023 RGPP Monitoring Report Dresden Generating Station The tritium concentration in MW-DN-141 S increased from 2,910 pCi/L to 4,430 pCi/L between the 3rd and 4th quarter 2022 RGPP sampling rounds and shows an increasing tritium concentration trend since the beginning of 2022. The tritium concentration in MW-DN-141S decreased from 4,770 pCi/L to 910 pCi/L between the 2nd and 3rd quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round. Station IR 04699599 was issued to document the groundwater condition in the area of MW-DN-1 4 1 S. It was recommended that the Station continue to evaluate SSCs in the area of MW-DN-141 S for potential sources of the increased tritium activity and sample MW-DN-14 IS on a monthly basis to ensure the tritium concentration continues to decrease.
Tritium concentrations in samples collected from wells (other than MD-I I) used to monitor the CST leak have generally decreased to less than 1,000 pCi/L, indicating the extent of the CST leak is confined to a small geographic area south of the Turbine Building.
Water Elevations All groundwater sample locations had depth to water measurements collected during the 3rd quarter 2023 sampling round. The 3rd quarter 2023 sampling round groundwater elevation data was compared to the 3rd quarter 2022 sampling round to evaluate if changes in groundwater elevations occurred that may have an effect on groundwater flow direction. The variations in groundwater elevations have no significant effect on groundwater flow direction. Based on comparison of groundwater elevations, the wells sampled effectively monitored groundwater conditions at the facil ity.
December 2023 RGPP Sampling Round Activities (4th Quarter 2023)
Data Summary A total of 34 groundwater samples were collected during the 4th quarter 2023 sampling round. A sample was not collected from MW-DN-11 71 due to the well being inaccessible at the time of the 4th quarter 2023 RGPP sampling. All samples were analyzed for tritium.
Tritium was detected in six shallow aquifer samples with a maximum concentration of 6,280 pCi/L (MW-DN-111 S). Tritium was detected in ten intermediate aquifer samples with a maximum concentration of 1,770 pCi/L (MW-DN-1141).
The tritium concentration in the area ofMW-DN-11 IS had been fluctuating between 1,470 pCi/L and 5,530 pCi/L since the I st quarter 2020. The 4th quarter 2023 tritium result for this well was 6,280 pCi/L. The increased tritium activity in this well is likely due to historic plumes migrating around the building structures.
However, it was recommended that Station personnel re-evaluate other potential sources between the CST and MW-DN-11 IS and sample MW-DN-111 S monthly to further evaluate the tritium concentration in the area of the well.
The tritium concentration in MW-DN-141 S increased from 2,91 O pCi/L to 4,430 pCi/L between the 3rd and 4th quarter 2022 RGPP sampling rounds and shows an increasing tritium concentration trend since the beginning of 2022. The tritium concentration in MW-DN-14 1 S decreased from 4,770 pCi/L to 910 pCi/L between the 2nd and 3rd quarter 2023 RG PP sampling round. The tritium concentration increased to 3, 140 pCi/L during the 4th quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round. Station IR 04699599 was issued to document the groundwater condition in the area of M W-DN-141 S. It was recommended that the Station continue to evaluate SSCs in the area of MW-DN-141 S for potential sources of the increased tritium activity and sample MW-DN-1 41 S on a monthly basis to further evaluate the tritium concentration in the area of the well.

2023 RGPP Monitoring Report Dresden Generating Station Tritium concentrations in samples collected from wells ( other than MD-I I) used to monitor the CST leak have generally decreased to less than 1,000 pCi/L, indicating the extent of the CST leak is confined to a small geographic area south of the Turbine Building.
Water Elevations All sampled groundwater locations had depth to water measurements collected during the 4th quarter 2023 sampling round. Groundwater elevations and groundwater flow direction for the shallow aquifer are provided on Figure 2a and groundwater elevations and groundwater flow direction for the intermediate aquifer are provided on Figure 2b. Based on the groundwater flow depicted on figures 2a and 2b, the wells sampled effectively monitored groundwater conditions at the facility.
2024 RGPP Sample Locations Samples could not be collected from MW-DN-106S, MW-DN-1081, and MW-DN-11 71 in 2023 due to inaccessibility and/or well damage. Not being able to sample these wells and assess data associated with the area of these wells is considered a data gap. Therefore, these wells should be repaired and made accessible to sampling crews to complete the RGPP.
Summary of2023 RGPP Conformance The Station did not conform with its RGPP in 2023 with respect to RGPP sampling protocol because water levels and samples were not collected from one Background designated well, one Perimeter designated well, and one Long Term Shutdown well. These wells have not been accessible for over two years.
Conclusions Based on the review of the data collected during the 2023 RGPP sampling rounds AMO concludes:
The Station continued to implement the tritium monitoring plan for the "B" CST. The tritium concentrations in the area of the CST showed a decreasing trend at the Station through 2023. While the tritium concentration in MD-I I decreased from its maximum reported tritium concentration of approximately 2.29 million pCi/L, an elevated concentration persists in the area of the CST. However, tritium concentrations in samples collected from wells (other than MD-1 1) used to monitor the CST leak have generally decreased to less than I,000 pCi/L, indicating the extent of the CST leak is confined to a small geographic area south of the Turbine Building.
The tritium concentration in MW-ON-I I IS averaged 4 12 pCi/L since the inception of the ROPP in 2006 through the 4th quarter 2019. The tritium concentration in MW-DN-1 1 l S increased from approximately 1,000 pCi/L to almost 3,500 pCi/L between the 4th quarter 2019 and pt quarter 2020.
The tritium concentration in the area of this well has been fluctuating between 1,470 pCi/L and 5,530 pCi/L since the I st quarter 2020. Tritium concentrations in samples collected from MW-ON-I I IS ranged between 4, I 20 pCi/L (May 2023) and 7,380 pCi/L (March 2023). The increased tritium activity in this well is likely due to historic plumes migrating around the building structures. However, it was recommended the Station re-evaluate other potential sources of tritium between the CST and MW-DN-1 I IS.
The tritium concentration in MW-DN-141S increased from 2,910 pCi/L to 4,430 pCi/L between the 3rd and 4th quarter 2023 RGPP sampling rounds and shows an increasing tritium concentration trend 0r(sdm 2021 Summar') Reporl

2023 RGPP Monitoring Report Dresden Generating Station since the beginning of 2022. Tritium concentration in samples collected from MW-DN-141 S ranged between 818 pCi/L (September 2023) and 6,070 pCi/L (July 2023). The Station issued IR 04699599 to document the groundwater condition in the area of MW-DN-14 IS. It was recommended that the Station continue to evaluate SSCs in the area of MW-DN-141 S for potential sources of the increased tritium activity and sample MW-DN-14 1 S on a monthly basis to further evaluate the tritium concentration in the area of the wel I.
Gamma-radionuclides, gross-alpha, hard-to-detects (Fe-55 and Ni-63), and select transuranics were not detected at concentrations greater than their respective LLDs in the samples collected during the 2nd quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round.
Sr-90 continued to be detected in the samples collected from MW-DN-105S at 3. 1 pCi/L and DSP-108 at 2.67 pCi/L. However, Sr-90 concentrations remained in the historic range for these wells.
Based on recapture tritium results, groundwater could potentially be affected by precipitation recapture.
Based on the evaluation of groundwater flow direction, the wells sampled effectively monitored groundwater conditions at the facility.
