1.0 Liquid Effluents 1.1 Regulatory Requirements 1.1.1 Concentration Limits In accordance with Technical Specification 5.5.4.b, the concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited at all times to ten 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 1 E-04 gCi/ml total activity.
1.1.2 Dose Limits The dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released, from each unit, to UNRESTRICTED AREAS shall be limited as follows:
- a. During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrems to the whole body and to less than or equal to 5 mrems to any organ, and
- b. During any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mrems to the whole body and to less than or equal to 10 mrems to any organ.
1.2 Effluent Concentration Limit (ECL)
ECL values used for determining the allowable liquid radwaste release rates and concentrations for the principal gamma emitters, 1-131, tritium, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Fe-55 are taken from 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. A tolerance factor of up to 10 is utilized to allow flexibility in establishing practical monitor set points which can accommodate effluent releases at concentrations higher than the ECL values stated in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.
For dissolved or entrained noble gases in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 1E-04 jiCi/ml total activity.
For gross alpha in liquid radwaste, the ECL is 2 E-09 jiCi/ml.
For all the above radionuclides or categories of radioactivity, the overall ECL fraction is determined in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B. The method utilizing the ECL fraction to determine release rates and liquid radwaste effluent radiation monitor set points is described in Subsection 1.3 of this report.

1.3 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity 1.3.1 Total Radioactivity Determination Prior to the release of any tank containing liquid radwaste, and following the required recirculation, samples are collected and analyzed in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Table 2-3 "Radioactive Liquid Waste Sampling and Analysis Program". A sample from each tank which is planned for release is analyzed for principal gamma emitters, 1-131, and dissolved and entrained noble gases by gamma spectroscopy. Monthly and quarterly composites are prepared for analysis by extracting aliquots from each sample taken from the tanks, which are released. Liquid radwaste sample analyses are performed as follows:
MEASUREMENT FREQUENCY METHOD
- 1. Gamma Isotopic Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy with computerized data reduction.
- 2. Dissolved or entrained Each Batch Gamma Spectroscopy noble gases with computerized data reduction
- 3. Tritium Monthly Distillation and Composite liquid scintillation counting
- 4. Gross Alpha Monthly Gas flow proportional Composite counting
- 5. Sr-89 & Sr-90 Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and gas flow proportional or scintillation counting
- 6. Fe-55 Quarterly Chemical separation Composite and liquid scintillation counting Page 9 of 82 172
1.3.1 Total Radioactivity Determination cont'd Gamma isotopic measurements are performed using germanium detectors with a resolution of 2.1 keV or lower. A peak search of the resulting gamma ray spectrum is performed by the computer system. Energy and net count data for all significant peaks are determined, and a quantitative reduction or MDC calculation is performed. This ensures that the MDC's are met for the nuclides specified in ODCM Chapter 10 (i.e., Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141 and Ce-144). The quantitative calculations, corrections for counting time, decay time, sample volume, sample geometry, detector efficiency, baseline counts, branching ratio and MDC calculations, are made based on the counts at the location in the spectrum where the peak for that radionuclide would be located, if present.
Tritium, Gross Alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55 and Ni-63 are, in some cases, analyzed offsite.
ECL fraction is determined using radionuclide concentrations of a tank planned for release, the most current results available for tritium, gross alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55 and Ni-63 and the corresponding ECL values.
This ECL fraction is used, with appropriate safety factors, tolerance factors, and the minimum assured dilution stream flow to calculate maximum permissible release rates and a liquid effluent monitor setpoint. The monitor setpoint is calculated to assure that the limits of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) are not exceeded.
A monitor reading in excess of the calculated setpoint results in an automatic termination of the liquid radwaste discharge. Liquid effluent discharge is also automatically terminated if the dilution stream flow rate falls below the minimum assured dilution flow rate used in the setpoint calculations and established as a setpoint on the dilution stream flow monitor.
Radionuclide concentrations, safety factors, dilution stream flow rate, and liquid effluent radiation monitor calibrations are entered into the computer and a pre-release printout is generated. If the release is not permissible, appropriate warnings will be displayed on the computer screen. Ifthe release is permissible, it is approved by the Chemistry Department and sent to the Operations Department for approval and release. When the release is completed, the necessary data from the release (i.e., release volume, etc.) are provided by the Operations Department to the Chemistry Department. These data are input to the computer and a post-release printout is generated. The post release printout contains the actual release rates, release concentrations and quantities, actual dilution flow, and calculated doses to an individual.
Typically achieved liquid effluent sample analyses minimum detectable concentrations are reported in Table 1-4.

1.3.2 Total Error Estimation The total or maximum error associated with the effluent measurement includes the cumulative errors resulting from the total operation of sampling and measurement. Because it may be very difficult to assign error terms for each parameter affecting the final measurement, detailed statistical evaluation of error is not suggested. The objective should be to obtain an overall estimate of the error associated with measurements of radioactive materials released in effluents (Reference Reg. Guide 1.23 Rev 1). Total Error is calculated by the root mean square method. The root mean square value is the square root of the arithmetic mean (average) of the squares of the original values.

2.2 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity 2.2.1 Sample Collection and Analysis Gaseous Effluents at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant are currently confined to five paths: plant vents (Unit 1 and Unit 2), the condenser air ejector, the steam packing exhauster systems (Unit 1 and Unit 2), and the Radwaste Processing Facility (RPF).
Waste gas decay tanks are batch released through the Unit 1 plant vent. The containment purges are released through their respective plant vents.
Containment atmosphere is also released via the containment equipment hatch during periods when the equipment hatch is open with containment purge/vent being stopped. Approval was granted by the NRC to open the equipment hatch during fuel movement; a release permit is generated when the equipment hatch is opened and the containment exhaust fan is not discharging to the plant vent.
Any detected activity in the containment equipment hatch permit is included in the Ground Release Table of the effluent report.
All of the paths with the exception of the RPF can be continuously monitored for gaseous radioactivity. The RPF is equipped with an integrated-type sample collection device for collecting particulates. Plant vent, containment, steam jet air ejector, steam-packing exhauster are equipped with an integrated-type sample collection device for collecting particulates and iodines. During this reporting period, there were no continuous radioactive releases through the condenser air ejector and the steam packing exhauster system vents. Batch Waste Gas Decay Tank releases are analyzed for noble gases before each release. The containment atmosphere is analyzed for noble gases prior to each release and for tritium at least on a monthly basis.
Sample analysis results and release flow rates form the basis for calculating released quantities of radionuclide specific radioactivity, dose rates associated with gaseous releases, and cumulative doses for the current quarter and year.
With each release period and batch release, radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are calculated. Cumulative dose results are tabulated, along with the percent of the ODCM limits for each release for the current quarter and year.
Typically achieved minimum detectable concentrations for gaseous effluent sample analyses are reported in Table 2-6.

Appendix A Vogtle Electric Generating Plant CARBON-14 Carbon-14 (C-14) is a naturally-occurring radionuclide with a 5730 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.
As nuclear plants have improved gaseous waste processing systems and improved fuel performance, the percentages of "principal radionuclides" in gaseous effluents have changed, and C-14 has become a larger percentage. "Principal radionuclides" are determined based on public dose contribution or the amount of activity discharged compared to other radionuclides of the same effluent type. In Revision 2 (June 2009) of Regulatory Guide 1.21 (RG 1.21),
"Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste," the NRC recommended re-evaluating "principal radionuclides" and reporting C-14 as appropriate. In 2010 Radioactive Effluent Release Reports, virtually all U. S. nuclear power plants started reporting C-14 amounts released and resulting doses to the maximally exposed member of the public.
Because C-14 is considered a hard-to-detect radionuclide which must be chemically separated from the effluent stream before it can be measured, RG 1.21 provides the option of calculating the C-14 source term based on power generation. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) developed an accepted methodology for calculating C-14, and published the results in Technical Report 1021106 (December 2010), "Estimation of Carbon- 14 in Nuclear Power Plant Gaseous Effluents." Evaluation of C-14 in radioactive liquid effluents is not required because the quantity and dose contribution has been determined to be insignificant.
At Plant Vogtle, the annual quantity of C-14 released in gaseous effluents was estimated to be 12.08 Curies (per unit). Approximately 30% of the C-14 released is in the form of 14CO 2 and is incorporated into plants through photosynthesis. Ingestion dose results from this pathway. The remaining 70% is estimated to be organic. Both the organic and inorganic forms of C-14 contribute to inhalation dose. A child is the maximally exposed individual, and bone dose is the highest organ dose. Using the dose calculation methodology from the Vogtle ODCM, the resulting bone dose to a child located at the controlling receptor location would be 8.46E-02 mrem in a year which is 0.56% of the regulatory limit of 15 mrem per year (per unit) to any organ due to gaseous effluents. The resulting total body dose to a child located at the controlling receptor location would be 1.69E-02 mrem in a year which is 0.11% of the regulatory limit of 15 mrem per year (per unit) total body dose due to gaseous effluents Page 82 of 82 245
2.2.2 Total Quantities of Radioactivity, Dose Rates, and Cumulative Doses The methods for determining release quantities of radioactivity, dose rates, and cumulative doses are as follows:
2.2.2.1 Fission and Activation Gases The released radioactivity is determined from sample analysis results collected as described above and average release flow rates over the period represented by the collected sample. Dose rates due to noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates are calculated. Calculated dose rates are compared to the dose rate limits specified in ODCM 3.1.2 for noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, and particulates. Dose rate calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.
Beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are calculated for the location in the unrestricted area with the potential for the highest exposure due to gaseous releases. Air doses are calculated for each release period and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the calendar quarter and year. Cumulative air doses are compared with the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.3. Current percent of the ODCM limits are shown on the printout for each release period. Air dose calculation methodology is presented in the ODCM.
2.2.2.2 Radioiodines, Tritium and Particulate Releases The released quantities of radioiodines, tritium and particulates are determined using the weekly samples and release flow rates for the two plant vent release points.
After each quarter, the particulate filters from each plant vent are combined, for strontium analysis. Strontium concentrations are input to the composite file of the computer to be used for release dose rate and individual dose calculations.
Doses to a Member of the Public due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates are calculated for the controlling receptor, which is described in Table 3-7of the ODCM. Doses are calculated for each release period, and cumulative totals are kept for each unit for the current calendar quarter and year. Cumulative doses are compared to the dose limits specified in ODCM 3.1.4.
Current percent of ODCM limits are shown in this report for each release period.
2.2.2.3 Gross Alpha Release The gross alpha release is calculated each month by counting the particulate filters for each week for gross alpha activity. The four or five weeks' numbers are then recorded on a data sheet and the activity is summed at the end of the month. This concentration is used for release calculations.
Page 37 of 82 200
2.2.3 Total Error Estimation The total or maximum error associated with the effluent measurement will include the cumulative errors resulting from the total operation of sampling and measurement. Because it may be very difficult to assign error terms for each parameter affecting the final measurement, detailed statistical evaluation of error are not suggested.
The objective should be to obtain an overall estimate of the error associated with measurements of radioactive materials released in liquid and gaseous effluents and solid waste.
Estimated errors are based on errors in counting equipment calibration, counting statistics, vent-flow rates, vent sample flow rates, non-steady release rates, chemical yield factors, and sample losses for such items as charcoal cartridges. Total Error is calculated by the root mean square method. The root mean square value is the square root of the arithmetic mean (average) of the squares of the original values.

2.3 Gaseous Effluent Release Data Regulatory Guide 1.21 Rev. 1 Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C are found in this report as Tables 2-1A, 2-1B, 2-1C, 2-2A, 2-2B, 2-2C, 2-3A, 2-3B, and 2-3C. Data are presented on a quarterly basis as required by Regulatory Guide 1.21 Rev. 1.
To complete table 2-1A, and 2-1 B, the total release for each of the four categories (fission and activation gases, iodines, particulates, and tritium) was divided by the number of seconds in the quarter to obtain a release rate in
[tCi/second for each category. However, the percent of the ODCM limits are not applicable because VEGP has no curie limits for gaseous releases. Applicable limits are expressed in terms of dose. Noble gases are limited as specified in ODCM 3.1.2. The other three categories (tritium, radioiodines, and particulates) are limited as a group as specified in ODCM 3.1.2.
Dose rates due to noble gas releases and due to radioiodines, tritium, and particulate releases were calculated as part of the pre-release and post-release permits. No limits were exceeded for this reporting period.
Gross alpha radioactivity is reported in Table 2-1A, and 2-1B as curies released in each quarter.
Limits for cumulative beta and gamma air doses due to noble gases are specified in ODCM 3.1.3. Cumulative air doses are presented in Table 2-4A, and 2-4B along with the percent of the ODCM limits.
Page 39 of 82 202
Limits for cumulative doses to a Member of the Public due to radioiodines, tritium and particulates, are specified in ODCM 3.1.4. Cumulative doses to a Member of the Public are presented in Table 2-5A, and 2-5B along with percent of ODCM limits.
2.4 Radiological Impact Due to Gaseous Releases Dose rates due to the release of noble gases were calculated for the site in accordance with ODCM 3.4.1.1. Dose rates due to radioiodines, tritium, and particulates in gaseous releases were calculated in accordance with ODCM 3.4.1.2.
Dose rates were calculated as part of pre-release and post release permits. No limits were exceeded for this reporting period.
Cumulative air doses due to noble gas releases were calculated for each unit in accordance with ODCM 3.4.2. These results are presented in Tables 2-4A and 2-41B.
Cumulative doses to a Member of the Public were calculated for each unit in accordance with ODCM 3.4.3. These results are presented in Tables 2-5A and 2-5B.
Dose rates and doses were calculated using the methodology presented in the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

4.0 Doses to Members of the Public inside the Site Boundary 4.1 Regulatory Requirements ODCM 7.2.2.3 states in part:
"The report shall also include assessment of the radiation doses from radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC due to their activities inside the SITE BOUNDARY during the report period; this assessment must be performed in accordance with Chapter 6. All assumptions used in making these assessments ( i.e., specific activity, exposure time, and location) shall be included in the report".
4.2 Demonstration of Compliance The location of concern within the site boundary is the Visitors Center. The activities at the Visitor Center consist of occasional attendance at meetings and/or short visits for informational purposes.
There will be no radiation dose at this location due to radioactive liquid effluents. Delineated in Table 4-1 for this location are the values of the basic data assumed in the dose assessment due to radioactive gaseous effluents.
Listed in this table are distance and direction from a point midway between the center of Unit 1 and the Unit 2 reactors, the dispersion and deposition factors for any releases from the plant vent (mixed mode) and from the turbine building (ground level), and the estimated maximum occupancy factor for an individual and the assumed age group of this individual.
The source term is listed in Tables 2-2A, and 2-2B for the mixed mode releases. Similarly, it is listed in tables 2-3A and 2-3B for the ground level releases.
The maximum doses in units of mrem to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to their activities inside the site boundary during the reporting period are presented in Table 4-1.

7.0 Program Deviations 7.1 Inoperable Liquid or Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 7.1.1 Regulatory Requirement ODCM 7.2.2.6 states in part that the report shall include deviations from the liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation operability requirements included in Sections 2.1.1 and 3.1.1, respectively. The report shall include an explanation as to why the inoperability of liquid or gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation was not corrected within the specified time requirement.
7.1.2 Description of Deviations (1) The inoperability of liquid and gaseous effluent monitors not corrected within the specified time for this reporting period is detailed below. When applicable, compensatory measures were utilized per ODCM Action Statements:
- a. 1RE-0018 This monitor was out of service greater than 30 days due to manpower challenges. A refueling outage was in progress during the same timeframe. The monitor has been returned to service.
- b. 1RE-12839 Equipment repair required bypass of steam packing exhaust and steam jet air ejector filters. The monitor was out of service due to having no sample flow. It is not required due to no indications of primary-to-secondary leakage.
Additionally, there were 4 other radiation monitors that could provide indication of primary-to-secondary leakage during repair. Sample flow has been restored and the monitor is in service.
- c. 2RE-12442 This monitor was out of service greater than 30 days due to an upgrade of the monitor. A redundant radiation monitor and auxiliary monitoring remained in service during most of the replacement duration*. The monitor has been returned to service.
(2) *A Green self-revealing NCV of TS 5.5.4, "Radioactive Effluent Controls Program," was identified for the licensee's failure to maintain continuous monitoring of the minimum required channels on the Unit 2 plant vent radiation monitors and failure to implement the required compensatory measures as required by the ODCM between March 16 and March 26, 2014.
Page 79 of 82 242
During the period both monitors were inoperable there were no unplanned releases and all planned releases were within regulatory limits. Releases from the waste gas decay system and Unit 2 containment are planned, sampled, permitted, and monitored by another set of radiation monitors prior to release. In addition, radiation monitors installed throughout the auxiliary building would have provided an indication of any elevated airborne conditions indicative of an unplanned release. During the period that both monitors were out of service, dose to the public was determined from two Unit 2 containment releases.
Causal analysis was performed and corrective actions were created to prevent reoccurrence.
7.2 Tanks Exceeding Curie Content Limits 7.2.1 Regulatory Requirements ODCM 7.2.2.6 states in part that the report shall include a description of the events leading to liquid holdup tanks or gas storage tanks exceeding the limits of Technical Specifications 5.5.12.
7.2.2 Description of Deviations Limits for outdoor liquid hold-up tanks used for radioactive liquids were not exceeded during this reporting period.
Limits for the gas storage tanks were not exceeded during this reporting period.
8.0 Changes to the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) 8.1 Regulatory Requirements ODCM 7.2.2.5 states in part that changes to the ODCM shall be submitted with the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. These changes may be due to changes in the radiological environmental monitoring program sampling locations as required by ODCM 4.1.1.2.3 or changes to dose calculation locations as required by ODCM 4.1.2.2.2. Land uses and dose calculation locations within five miles of VEGP must be determined by a land use census as required by ODCM 4.1.2.
8.2 Description of Changes There were no changes made to the VEGP ODCM in 2014.

9.0 Major Changes to Liquid, Gaseous, or Solid Radwaste Treatment Systems 9.1 Regulatory Requirements ODCM 7.2.2.7 states in part:
As required by Sections 2.1.5 and 3.1.6, licensee initiated MAJOR CHANGES TO RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS (liquid and gaseous) shall be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report covering the period in which the change was reviewed and accepted for implementation.
Note 1: In lieu of inclusion in the Radioactive Effluents Release Report, this same information may be submitted as part of the annual FSAR update.
PCP 12.1 states in part:
Licensee major initiated changes to the solid radioactive waste treatment system shall be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change was implemented.
9.2 Description of Major Changes Gaseous Radwaste System There were no major changes to the gaseous radwaste systems in the 2014 assessment period.
Liquid Radwaste System There were no major changes to the liquid radwaste systems occurred during the 2014 assessment period.
Solid Radwaste System There were no major changes to the solid radwaste systems in the 2014 assessment period.
