December 20, 2017 NG-17-0106 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 Duane Arnold Energy Center Docket No. 50-331 Renewed Op. License No. DPR-49 Correction to the 2011 and 2016 Annual Radioactive Material Release Reports An internal audit of radioactive shipments performed by NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC has identified a 2011 dry active waste shipment that was not

  • reported in the 2011 Annual Radioactive Material Release Report provided to the NRC via NG-12-0191 on April 27, 2012, ADAMS Accession No. ML121220362.

Due to this omission, pages 13, 14, 15 and 18 of the 2011 report are in error. An amended copy ofthese pages is enclosed. Corrections are indicated with a revision bar.

In the recently transmitted 2016 Annual Radioactive Material Release Report, the above audit finding was discussed on page 15. However, a typographical error has been noted regarding waste activity content. (This content was incorrectly stated as E-02 Ci instead of E-03 Ci.) The waste activity content has also been updated from 3.43 to 3.46 millicuries. An amended copy of page 15 is enclosed, with the correction indicated with a revision bar. The original report was provided to the NRC via NG-17-0092 on April 28, 2017. (ADAMS Accession No. ML17118A244.)

This letter makes no new commitments nor changes to existing commitments.

Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Michael Casey at (319) 851-7606.

SUMMARY

OF RADIOACTIVE SOLID WASTE Summary of Radioactive Solid Waste for 2011 A total of nine solid radioactive waste shipments were made during 2011.

)

Five shipments of spent resin were made in 201 i. These five shipments of spent resin in poly liners were shipped for direct burial at E~ergy Solutions, located in Clive, Utah at their Containerized Waste Facility (CWF). Four of these shipments contained resin from the condensate system. One of these shipments contained resin from the Reactor water Clean-up system. These shipments were all transported by highway.

Four shipments of Dry Active Waste (DAW) were shipped for processing and then to burial during the year 2011. All four shipments were sent to Energy Solutions Bear Creek processing facility for sorting and then shipped for burial at Energy Solutions Clive, Utah facility. The transportation for the waste was by highway.

During an internal audit of radioactive solid waste records in 2017, a*single dry active waste shipment was not included in the 2011 Annual Radiological Material Release Report (Condition Report 02182217). The 2011 original summary indicated a total of eight solid radioactive waste shipments including three DAW shipments. ~pecifically, DAW shipment, 11-06, was missing and is comprised of:

Waste weight: 27,800 lbs Waste activity: 3.46 E-03 Ci Waste volume: 1,000 ft3 Waste density: 27.8 lbs/ft3 External volume: 1,360 ft3 Waste type: DAW 2011 DAEC Annual Radioactive Material Release Report Page 13 of26

DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER 2016 ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL RELEASE REPORT RADIOACTIVE SOLID WASTE A total of twenty-one solid radioactive waste shipments were made during 2016.

Six shipments of spent resin were made in 2016. These shipments of spent resin in poly liners were shipped for direct burial at Energy Solutions, located in Clive, Utah at their Containerized Waste Facility (CWF). All of these shipments contained resin from the condensate system and all were transported by highway.

Fifteen shipments of Dry Active Waste (DAW) were shipped for processing and then to burial during the year 2016. All 15 shipments were sent to Energy Solutions Bear Creek processing facility for sorting and subsequently shipped for burial at Energy Solutions Clive, Utah facility. The transportation for this waste was by highway.

There were no shipments of liquid waste in 2016.

During an internal audit of radioactive solid waste records, a single dry active waste shipment was not included in the 2011 Annual Radiological Material Release Report (Condition Report 02182217).

Specifically:

Waste weight: 27,800 lbs Waste activity: 3.46E-03 Ci Waste volume: 1,000 ft 3 Waste density: 27.8 lbs/ft3 External volume: 1,360 ft3 Waste type: DAW Page 15
