21 G-26-0042 GOV-01-55 ACF-26-0061 Report of Potential Gaseous Effluent Dose to the Maximally Exposed Offsite Individual and on the Maximum Radionuclide Concentrations for the Period:
July to December 2025 Introduction During this biannual period, NRC License SNM-124, Section 9.1.1.3, required NFS to assess the total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) to the maximally exposed offsite receptor and the maximum radioactive air concentrations at the site boundary attributable to NFS' air effluents. The required biannual assessment has been completed and the details of the assessment are provided in the subsequent sections.
Summary of Methods In accordance with SNM-124, Section 9.1.1.4, and internal procedure NFS-HS-A-27, the U.S. Department of Energy's CAP88-PC computer program was used to estimate off-site doses and activity concentrations for gaseous effluents. NFS operated thirteen (13) radiological stacks during the second half of 2025. Based on effluent types and stack physical characteristics, releases from these stacks were grouped into effective stacks for modeling purposes. To accommodate the co-location limitation of the model, the effective stacks were taken to be at the approximate center of the plant site. The distance to the site boundary (nearest model receptor distance) was conservatively taken to be 150 meters for all sectors.
Meteorological data was based on the average wind speed and direction frequencies from the onsite meteorological tower covering the time period for this report.
Atmospheric stability class D (neutral atmosphere) was used for all releases (default value recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in "User's Guide for COMPLY"). The most conservative inhalation class was assumed for each radionuclide released. A particle size (activity median aerodynamic diameter or AMAD) of 1.0 micron was assumed for modeling purposes since no information on actual particle sizes exists.
Because CAP88-PC models releases over an entire year, the six-month source term (i.e., total curies of each radionuclide released over the period, given in Attachment 2) was annualized (i.e., transformed into a 12-month release) so that airborne activity concentrations would not be under-estimated during the release period.
Summary of Results Doses are reported in Table 1 below and are derived from the CAP88-PC "Synopsis Report." These doses are at the location of the maximally exposed (off-site) individual (MEI). The results include an adjustment (using the normalization factor mentioned above) to convert the "annualized" doses back to those doses that were actually received in the six-month release period. Activity concentrations reported in Table 2 come directly from the CAP88-PC "Concentration Tables" report; no adjustments are needed for these concentrations. The CAP88-PC output reports are available for review at NFS.

21 G-26-0042 GOV-01-55 ACF-26-0061 Table 1 summarizes the six-month dose to a hypothetical individual at the MEI location, which was determined to be approximately 450 meters Northeast from the center of the plant site. The TEDE to the MEI was estimated to be 4.8E-03 mrem for gaseous effluents released during the second half of 2025. The highest organ committed dose equivalent (COE) to the MEI was estimated to be 2.4E-02 mrem to the lungs. These MEI doses are well below the Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program action levels and applicable regulatory limits/ALARA constraints.

21 G-26-0042 GOV-01-55 ACF-26-0061 Table 2 summarizes the maximum radioactive air concentrations at or beyond the site boundary, as determined by CAP88-PC, for the radionuclides released. The total sum of fractions was estimated to be 7.9E-04 and indicates that exposures to the offsite public from gaseous effluents were much less than 1 % of the 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Col. 1 values for all offsite receptors including the site boundary. It is noted that the location of the maximum airborne concentration for a given radionuclide does not necessarily correspond to the MEI location. This is due primarily to the fact that the maximum concentrations for individual nuclides can vary due to differences in values input into the dispersion model for each of the effective stacks - such inputs include stack height, stack diameter, flow rate, and total radionuclide activities released per stack. Another reason for the disparity is the fact that the MEI dose includes both inhalation and ingestion pathways.
