I.
Summary During normal operations of a nuclear power generating station there are permitted releases of small amounts of radioactive material to the environment. To monitor and determine the effects of these releases a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) has been established around the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES). The results of the REMP are published annually, providing a summary and interpretation of the data collected.
Applied Ecoscience, Inc. was responsible for the collection of environmental samples during 2024. Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) was responsible for the analysis of environmental samples during 2024. The results are discussed in this report. Landauer provided the dosimetry services for SSES during 2024.
This Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) conducted for SSES covers the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. During that time period,1344 analyses were performed on 1144 samples.
Historically, Tritium (H-3) has been the only man-made radionuclide detected in the environment by the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES)
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) that is attributable to station operations.
Based on data from the 2024 Radioactive Effluent Monitoring and Control program, approximately 18 Curies of H-3 were discharged in liquid radwaste releases to the Susquehanna River and approximately 142 Curies of H-3 were discharged from the station in airborne effluent releases. H-3 was not identified in any REMP surface water samples taken from the Susquehanna River during 2024. The 2024 average dilution factor for the Susquehanna River was 646, based on the annual average river flow of 7.50E+06 gpm and the annual average cooling tower blowdown flow of 1.16E+04 gpm.
H-3 was identified above analysis detection levels in precipitation samples taken on-site during 2024. Precipitation is analyzed to assess the impact of airborne effluent H-3 on groundwater activities.
Low levels of H-3 were identified in on-site groundwater samples during 2024. Assuming a Member of the Public was consuming water with the highest detected concentration of H-3 of an onsite monitoring well sample, the theoretical dose to the total body and maximum organ using the H-3 concentration of 372 pCi/liter and Regulatory Guide 1.109 methodology
[Reference 9] was determined to illustrate the effect. The calculated dose would be <0.02 mrem to the child total body and <0.02 mrem to the child liver (critical age group/organ) which is well below SSES Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) limits and applicable regulatory limits.
The REMP Sample Equipment Operability and year-to-year trend comparison is located in Appendix E, Table E-1.
The REMP was conducted in accordance with the SSES Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) [Reference 5] which are based on the design objectives in 10CFR Part 50, Appendix I, Sections IV.B.2, IV.B.3 and IV.C. The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) values required by the TRM and SSES ODCM were achieved for the 2024 reporting period. The REMP objectives were also met during this period. The concentration of radioactive material in the environment that could be attributable to SSES operations was only a small fraction of the concentration of naturally occurring and man-made radioactivity. Since these results were comparable to the results obtained during the preoperational phase of the program and combined with historical results collected since commercial operation, it can be concluded that the levels and fluctuations were as expected and that the operation of the SSES had no significant radiological impact on the environment. Additionally, the REMP sample results for 2024 verify the adequacy of the SSES radioactive effluent control systems.
Samples of air particulates, air iodine, milk, groundwater, drinking water, food products, surface water, fish and sediment were collected and analyzed.
External radiation dose measurements were also made in the vicinity of SSES using passive dosimeters.
Air particulate samples were analyzed for concentrations of gross beta weekly and gamma emitting nuclides quarterly. Gross beta and cosmogenically produced beryllium-7 (Be-7) were detected at levels consistent with those detected in previous years. No fission or activation products were detected.
Air charcoal cartridge samples were analyzed for iodine-131 (I-131). All results were less than the minimum detectable concentration.
Environmental gamma radiation measurements were performed quarterly using optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters (OSLD). The levels of radiation detected were consistent with those observed in previous years.
Cow milk samples were analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides. High sensitivity I-131 analyses were performed on cow milk samples. All I-131 results were below the minimum detectable concentration. Naturally occurring potassium-40 (K-40) was detected at levels consistent with those detected in previous years. No fission or activation products were detected.
Groundwater samples were analyzed for concentrations of tritium and gamma emitting nuclides. Tritium activities detected were consistent with those detected in previous years. Naturally occurring K-40 and thorium-228 (Th-228) were detected at levels consistent with those detected in previous years. No fission or activation products were detected.
Drinking water samples were analyzed for concentrations of tritium, gross beta and gamma emitting nuclides. Tritium activities were not detected above the minimum detectable concentration. Gross beta activities detected were consistent with those detected in previous years. Naturally occurring K-40 was detected at levels consistent with those detected in previous years.
No fission or activation products were detected.
Food product (fruits, vegetables and broadleaf vegetation) samples were analyzed for concentrations of gamma emitting nuclides. Naturally occurring Be-7 and K-40 were detected at levels consistent with those detected in previous years. No fission or activation products were detected.
Surface water samples were analyzed for concentrations of tritium, gross beta and gamma emitting nuclides. Tritium activities were not detected above the minimum detectable concentration. Low level gross beta activities detected were as expected for environmental surface water samples.
Naturally occurring K-40 was detected at levels consistent with those detected in previous years. No fission or activation products were detected.
Fish and shoreline sediment samples were analyzed for concentrations of gamma emitting nuclides. Naturally occurring K-40 was detected at levels consistent with those detected in previous years. Naturally occurring radium-226 (Ra-226), actinium-228 (Ac-228), and Th-228 were detected in shoreline sediment at levels consistent with results in previous years. No fission or activation products were detected in fish or sediment samples.
II.
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program The Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) is a nuclear electrical generating station located approximately 5 miles northeast of Berwick, in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The station consists of two boiling-water reactor generating units. The SSES is located on approximately a 1,087-acre tract just west of the Susquehanna River. The station was constructed in the 1970s, with Unit 1 beginning commercial operation on June 8, 1983, and Unit 2 beginning commercial operation on February 12, 1985. Units 1 and 2 each generate a net 1,350 megawatts (MWe), for a total station output of 2,700 MWe.
In the 4th quarter of 2021, Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC land ownership was reduced due to land transfers to other Talen Energy entities. Impacts to the SSES REMP resulting from the above referenced land ownership changes are being implemented as appropriate by SSES Chemistry personnel.
In total Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC presently owns 1,152 acres of land.
Generally, this land is characterized by open deciduous woodlands interspersed with grasslands. The area around the site is primarily rural, consisting predominately of forest and agricultural lands.
Approximately 1,087 acres of land is jointly owned between Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (90%) and Allegheny Electric Cooperative (10%). The land use includes generation and associated maintenance facilities, laydown areas, parking lots, roads, a nature preserve (the Susquehanna Riverlands), and agricultural leases to local farmers.
To the north of the station along the Susquehanna River, Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC owns 100% of the 65-acre Gould Island.
More specific information on the demography, hydrology, meteorology, and land use characteristics of the area in the vicinity of the SSES can be found in the Environmental Report [Reference 1], the Final Safety Analysis Report
[Reference 2] and the Final Environmental Statement [Reference 3] for the SSES.
The SSES has maintained a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) since April 1972, prior to construction of both units and ten years prior to the initial operation of Unit 1 in September 1982. The purpose of the preoperational REMP (April, 1972 to September, 1982) was to establish a baseline for radioactivity in the local environment that could be compared with the radioactivity levels observed in various environmental media throughout the operational lifetime of the SSES. This comparison facilitates assessments of the radiological impact of the SSES operation.
The REMP supplements the results of the radioactive effluent-monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation in the environment are not higher than expected based on the effluent measurements and modeling of the environment in the vicinity of the SSES.
The pathways through which radiation or radioactive material may reach the public from nuclear power plants are direct exposure from the station, atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic pathways. (Figure 1 depicts these pathways)
Figure 1 - Radiation Pathways People are exposed to radiation every day of their lives and have been since the dawn of mankind. Some of this radiation is naturally occurring while some is manmade. There are many factors that will determine the amount of radiation individuals will be exposed to such as where they live, medical treatments, etc. The average person in the United States is exposed to approximately 620 mrem each year. 310 mrem comes from natural sources and 310 from man-made sources. Figure 2 shows what the typical sources of radiation in the U.S.

Full report is available on the NCRP websiteatwww,NCRPonline,org Radioanalytical data from samples collected under the REMP were compared with results from the preoperational phase and historical results during operations. Differences between these periods were examined statistically to determine the effects of station operations. This report presents the results from January 1 through December 31, 2024, for the SSES Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP).
A.
Objectives of the Operational REMP The objectives of the Operational REMP are to:
- 1.
Document compliance with SSES REMP Technical Requirements and radiological environmental surveillances.
- 2.
Verify proper implementation of SSES radiological effluent controls.
3.
Identify, measure and evaluate trends of radionuclide concentrations in environmental pathways near SSES 4.
Assess impact of SSES Effluents on the Environment and the public.
5.
Verify that SSES operations have no detrimental effects on the health and safety of the public or on the environment.
B.
Implementation of the Objectives 1.
In order to meet the objectives, an operational REMP was developed. Samples of various media were selected for monitoring due to the radiological dose impact to humans and other organisms. The selection of samples was based on:
(a)
Established critical pathways for the transfer of radionuclides through the environment to man, and (b)
Experience gained during the preoperational phase.
Sampling locations were determined based on local meteorology, Susquehanna River hydrology, local demography, and land uses.
2.
Sampling locations were divided into two classes, indicator and control. Indicator locations were sited where it is expected that radiation and radioactive material that might originate from the station would be detectable. Control locations were selected in areas where they would be unaffected by station operations (i.e. Susquehanna River upstream from the station, >10 miles from the station in least prevalent wind directions). Fluctuations in the levels of radionuclides and direct radiation at indicator locations were evaluated with respect to analogous fluctuations at control locations. Indicator and control location data were also evaluated relative to preoperational data.
3.
Appendix A, Program Summary, describes and summarizes the analytical results in accordance with the SSES Technical Specifications.
4.
Appendix B, Sample Designation and Locations, describes the coding system which identifies sample type and location. Table B-1 lists the location codes, locations, latitude, longitude, and the types of samples collected at each location. Table B-2 contains sample medium, analysis and sampling details.

Program Description A.
Data Interpretation Results of analyses are grouped according to sample type and presented in Appendix C, Data Tables. All results above the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) are at a confidence level of +/- 2 sigma. This represents the range of values into which 95% of repeated analyses of the same sample should fall. As defined in U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulatory Guide 4.8 [Reference 6], LLD is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count (above system background) that will be detected with 95%
probability, with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real signal." LLD is normally calculated as 4.66 times the standard deviation of the background counting rate, or of the blank sample count, as appropriate, divided by counting efficiency, sample size, 2.22 (dpm per picocurie), the radiochemical yield when applicable, the radioactive decay constant and the elapsed time between sample collection and time of counting. LLD represents the capability of the measurement system.
The Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) is defined as the smallest concentration of radioactive material that can be detected at a given confidence level. The MDC differs from the LLD in that the MDC takes into consideration the interference caused by the presence of other nuclides while the LLD does not. MDC is an indicator of the performance of the measurement system. The MDC is set to be below the LLD.
Summaries of the radionuclide average picocurie activities and ranges are included in Table A. If a radionuclide was not detected, zero was used for that isotope in dose calculations and the activity is listed as
<MDC (less than the minimum detectable concentration) in Table A.
<MDC indicates that no activity was positively detected in any sample when samples were analyzed with techniques which achieved the required Lower Limits of Detection (LLD). The following are typical measurement laboratory MDCs for airborne and waterborne REMP samples.
Airborne REMP Typical MDCs Radionuclide MDC (pCi/cu.m.)
Mn-54 1.2 E-03 Fe-59 7.9 E-03 Co-58 1.9 E-03 Co-60 1.2 E-03 Zn-65 2.9 E-03 Cs-134 1.1 E-03 Cs-137 1.0 E-03 I-131 4.2 E-01 Waterborne REMP Typical MDCs Radionuclide MDC (pCi/L.)
H-3 (DIST) 3.6 E+02 Mn-54 4.0 E+00 Fe-59 1.1 E+01 Co-58 4.1 E+00 Co-60 4.4 E+00 Zn-65 8.5 E+00 Cs-134 3.9 E+00 Cs-137 4.1 E+00 I-131 9.9 E+00 H-3 3.5 E+02 Gross Beta 2.1 E+00 The grouped data were averaged and standard deviations calculated.
Thus, the +/- 2 sigma of the averaged data represent sample and not analytical variability. For reporting and calculation of averages, any result occurring at or below the LLD is considered to be at the LLD level.

E.
Summary of Results - Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program The Teledyne Brown Engineering Environmental Services (TBE-ES) laboratory analyzed Performance Evaluation (PE) samples of air particulate (AP), milk, soil, vegetation, and water matrices that represent test and matrix combinations available for REMP programs.
The PE samples supplied by Eckert & Ziegler (E&Z) Analytics Inc.,
Environmental Resource Associates (ERA), and Department of Energy (DOE) Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP), were evaluated against the following pre-set acceptance criteria:
- 1. E&Z Analytics Evaluation Criteria Analytics evaluation report provides a ratio of TBEs result and E&Z Analytics known value. Since flag values are not assigned by E&Z Analytics, TBE evaluates the reported ratios based on internal QC requirements based on the DOE MAPEP criteria.
- 2. ERA Evaluation Criteria ERAs evaluation report provides an acceptance range for control and warning limits with associated flag values. ERAs acceptance limits are established per the US EPA, National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC),
state-specific Performance Testing (PT) program requirements or ERAs SOP for the Generation of Performance Acceptance Limits, as applicable. The acceptance limits are either determined by a regression equation specific to each analyte or a fixed percentage limit promulgated under the appropriate regulatory document.
- 3. DOE Evaluation Criteria MAPEPs evaluation report provides an acceptance range with associated flag values. MAPEP defines three levels of performance:
Acceptable (flag = A) - result within +/- 20% of the reference value Acceptable with Warning (flag = W) - result falls in the
+/- 20% to +/- 30% of the reference value Not Acceptable (flag = N) - bias is greater than 30% of the reference value Note: The Department of Energy (DOE) Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP) samples are created to mimic conditions found at DOE sites which do not always resemble typical environmental samples obtained at commercial nuclear power facilities.
Teledyne Brown Engineering For the TBE laboratory, 152 out of 167 analyses performed met the specified acceptance criteria. Fifteen analyses did not meet the specified acceptance criteria and were addressed through the TBE Corrective Action Program. A summary is found below:
- 1. NCR 24-02: ERA March MRAD-40 study with Air Particulate AM-241 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 38.8 pCi/filter and the known value returned at 55.0 pCi/filter (range 39.3-73.3). The root cause investigation determined that the sample was not logged into the system correctly and therefore not prepared with the required tracer. To correct and prevent recurrence, personnel involved are to utilize a template to ensure all analyses are logged as required and the QA Manager will perform sample log review as a back up to ensure accuracy. Acceptable results returned in a later sample study, supporting effectiveness of corrective action.
- 2. NCR 24-03: ERA March MRAD-40 air particulate study GR-B evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 42.1 pCi/filter and the known value returned at 22.2 pCi/filter (range 13.5-33.5). The root cause investigation determined that alpha-to-beta crosstalk was more significant than normal which caused the beta activity to report falsely high data. To correct and prevent recurrence, personnel involved are to adjust the alpha-to-beta crosstalk via correction calculation measures when high alpha activities are observed. Acceptable results returned in a later sample study, supporting effectiveness of corrective action.
- 3. NCR 24-05: ERA April RAD-137 water study GR-A evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 35.2 pCi/L and the known value returned at 52.6 pCi/L (range 39.6-65.6). The root cause investigation determined that the provided samples contained a solids content that was significantly higher than the typical client samples tested by the laboratory. A set aliquot volume for prior ERA samples was used and not adjusted to account for the sudden increase in solid content. To correct and prevent recurrence, new sample types were ordered from ERA that used Am-231 to better reflect client sample testing and acceptable results were achieved. Acceptable results returned in a later sample study, supporting effectiveness of corrective action.
- 4. NCR 24-06: E&Z Analytics March E14092 air particulate study Co-60 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 168 pCi and the known value returned at 126 pCi. Additionally, March E14093 soil Ce-141 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 0.106 pCi/g and the known value returned at 0.071pCi/g. The root cause investigation was unable to determine any anomaly thus no proposed corrective action. No recurrence has occurred.
- 5. CAR 24-02 (CAR 23-31): MAPEP February 24-MaS50 soil study Fe-55 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 297 Bq/Kg and the known value returned at 650 Bq/Kg (range 455-845). The root cause investigation suspects that the current analytical procedure is not sufficient to add the interferences added to the sample by MAPEP. This investigation is still ongoing (See NCR 24-16) as the suggested corrective action did not provide desired results.
- 6. NCR 24-08: MAPEP February 24-MaS50 soil study Ni-63 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 1070 Bq/Kg and the known value returned at 1530 Bq/Kg (range 1071-1989). The root cause investigation suspected that the sample contained added interferences that are not typically seen in client samples. All QC efforts associated with the sample were acceptable and no anomalies found, even after reanalysis. To correct and prevent recurrence, samples suspected of additional interferences will include the addition of Ni-59 tracer to determine yield results when calculating results. TBE analytical procedure TBE-2013 was updated to include this change.
- 7. NCR 24-09: MAPEP February 24-MaSU50 urine study Zn-65 evaluated as Not Acceptable. The root cause investigation determined that the sample was spiked lower than TBEs typical detection limit and client requirements. The report was revised by MAPEP indicating Not Evaluated, resulting in this nuclide to not be considered a failure.
- 8. NCR 24-10: MAPEP February 24-MaW50 water study Tc-99 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 9.95 Bq/L and the known value returned 7.47 Bq/L (range 5.23-9.71). The root cause investigation suspects Thorium interference that was not removed during the column separation process of the analytical procedure; however, it cannot be confirmed as all QC efforts associated with the sample were acceptable and with no anomalies found. To potentially correct and prevent recurrence, an additional rinse step was added to the procedure. Acceptable results returned in a later sample study, supporting effectiveness of corrective action.
- 9. NCR 24-11: MAPEP February 24-RdV50 vegetation study Sr-90 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 0.276 Bq/sample and the known value returned 0.529 Bq/sample (range 0.370-0.688). The root cause investigation determined a laboratory accident resulting in a spilled (loss) of sample. No corrective action was performed as the cause was an unintentional sample spill.
- 10. NCR 24-14: ERA September MRAD-41 air particulate study U-234/238 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 14.0/14.2 pCi/filter and the known value returned at 31.1/30.9 pCi/filter (range 23.1-36.9). The root cause investigation determined that the laboratory technician placed double the amount of tracer in the sample by error. To correct and prevent recurrence, samples that have been digested/leached with carrier/tracer added will have a label placed over the cap indicating it has already been added. Additionally, the beaker that aliquot is put in should have markings to indicate carrier/tracer has already been added to the sample.
- 11. NCR 24-15: ERA September MRAD-41 water study Fe-55 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 615 pCi/L and the known value returned at 1230 pCi/L (range 723-1790). The root cause is still under investigation.
- 12. NCR 24-16: MAPEP August 24-MaS51 soil study Fe-55 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE did not report a value and the known value returned 780 Bq/Kg (range 546-1014). The root cause is still under investigation.
- 13. NCR 24-17: MAPEP August 24-RdV51 vegetation study Sr-90 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 0.95 Bq/sample and the known value returned 2.39 Bq/sample (range 1.67-3.11). The root cause is still under investigation.
The Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program provides evidence of in control counting systems and methods, and that the laboratories are producing accurate and reliable data.
IV.
Results and Discussion The analytical results of the 2024 REMP samples are divided into categories based on exposure pathways: atmospheric, direct radiation, terrestrial, and aquatic. The analytical results for the 2024 REMP are summarized in Appendix A, Program Summary. The data for individual samples are presented in Appendix C, Data Tables. The data are compared to the formal preoperational environmental monitoring program data (April 1972 to September 1982) and to data during operations. The data collected demonstrates that the SSES REMP was conducted in compliance with the TRM and the SSES ODCM.
A.
Atmospheric Atmospheric REMP sampling included the collection of air particulates, air iodine and direct radiation samples.
- 1.
Air Particulates Air particulate samples were collected weekly at six indicator locations (3S2, 9B1, 10S3, 12E1, 12S1 and 13S6) and one control locations (8G1). Each of the samples collected for the year were analyzed for gross beta. Quarterly composites of the weekly samples from each location were analyzed for specific gamma emitters.
Gross Beta Gross beta activity was detected in 312 of 312 of the indicator location samples at concentrations ranging from 6 to 25 E-3 pCi/m3 with an average concentration of 14 E-3 pCi/m3, and in 51 of 51 of the control location samples at concentrations ranging from 6 to 21 E-3 pCi/m3 with an average of 13 E-3 pCi/m3. The maximum preoperational level detected was 102 E-3 pCi/m3 with an average concentration of 62 E-3 pCi/m3.
(Table C-1, Appendix C); Historical levels of gross beta are shown in Figure C-1. Results for gross beta analysis from 1974 to current year are plotted.
Gamma Spectrometry Gamma spectrometry was performed on each of the 28 quarterly composite samples. Beryllium-7, attributed to cosmic ray activity in the atmosphere, was detected in all 24 indicator location composites at concentrations ranging from 48 E-3 to 133 E-3 pCi/m3 with an average concentration of 82 E-3 pCi/m3, and in the four control location composites ranging in concentration from 54 to 89 E-3 pCi/m3 with an average concentration of 74 E-3 pCi/m3.
The maximum preoperational level detected was 85 E-3 pCi/m3 with an average concentration of 74 E-3 pCi/m3. (Table C-2, Appendix C)
All other gamma emitters were less than the LLD.
- 2.
Air Iodine Filtered air iodine samples were collected weekly at six indicator locations (3S2, 9B1, 10S3, 12E1, 12S1, and 13S6) and one control locations (8G1). Each of the samples collected for the year were analyzed for I-131.
Iodine-131 Iodine-131 was not detected in any indicator location samples or control location samples. Preoperational data is not available for comparison. (Table C-3, Appendix C)
B.
Direct Radiation Ambient radiation levels in the environs were measured at each monitoring location with a pair of optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters (OSLD) composed of aluminum oxide crystals supplied and processed by Landauer. The Landauer OSLD is designed to meet the ANSI N545 Standard and ANSI/HPS Standard N13.37-2014.
Packets containing OSLDs for quarterly exposure were placed in the owner-controlled area and around the site at various distances and in each land-based meteorological sector. Emphasis was placed on special interest areas such as population centers, nearby residences, and schools.
A total of 60 locations were monitored for direct radiation during 2024, including 35 site boundary locations, 14 outer distant locations, six special interest locations and five control locations.
Environmental monitoring of ambient radiation levels began prior to the commencement of SSES operation. The preoperational monitoring period data used in the calculation of dose attributable the SSES operation is from 1980-1981. The availability of preoperational direct radiation monitoring data and data for control direct radiation monitoring locations provides a basis for distinguishing between the portions of dose received from exposure to sources of natural radiation and that which might have been from man-made sources of radiation.
Pre-operational and operational data are compared for the purpose of determining if dosimeter data may indicate a dose contribution from SSES operation. Ratios of doses for specific indicator locations to the average of the doses for control locations from operational periods are compared to their counterparts from the preoperational period.
Comparison of these ratios is performed in lieu of comparing the actual operational and preoperational doses. All indicator-to-control-average dose ratios for operational periods are compared to expected ranges from 1980-81 data for indicator-to-control-average dose ratios from the same locations. If preoperational data does not exist for the location of interest, indicator-to-control-average dose ratios for operational periods are compared to data for control locations monitored during 1980-81. The purpose for these comparisons is to flag possible SSES direct radiation dose contributions and to provide input, if appropriate, for the calculation of SSES direct radiation dose contributions.
Additional details on the statistical method used for determination of direct radiation dose to a member of the public due to SSES operation (based on environmental dosimeter data) can be found in Engineering Calculation EC-ENVR-1012, Interpretation of Environmental Direct Radiation Monitoring Results - Estimation of Direct Radiation Dose to Members of the Public Attributable to SSES Fuel Cycle Operations Rev. 2 [Reference 8].
The indicator locations annual average dose rate was 16.9 milliroentgen per standard quarter. The annual average dose rate for the control locations was 13.7 milliroentgen per standard quarter. The preoperational average for the quarterly direct radiation readings was 17.6 milliroentgen per standard quarter.
In 2024, the maximum direct radiation dose to a member of the public calculated using the methodology in EC-ENVR-1012 [Reference 8]
was 0.801 mrem.
The results of the direct radiation measurements for 2024 confirmed that the radiation levels in the vicinity of the SSES were similar to previous years. (Table C-4, Appendix C); Figure C Ambient Radiation Levels Based on Environmental Dosimetry Data from 1973 to current year are plotted as quarterly averages.
C.
Terrestrial Terrestrial REMP sampling included the collection of milk, groundwater, drinking water, and food products.
- 1.
Milk Milk samples were collected biweekly when cows were on pasture and monthly when cows were not grazing on pasture.
Animals are considered on pasture from April to October of each year. Samples were collected in new polyethylene containers and transported in ice chests with preservatives added to the milk.
Milk samples were collected at local dairy farms from 2 indicator locations (5E2 and 13E3) and one control location (10G1). Each sample was analyzed for I-131 and gamma emitters.
Iodine-131 Iodine-131 was not detected above minimum detectable concentration in any of the 60 samples analyzed.
Preoperational data is not available for comparison. (Table C-5, Appendix C); Figure C Iodine-131 Activity in Milk results from 1976 to 2024 are plotted.
Gamma Spectrometry Naturally occurring K-40 was detected in all 60 samples with concentrations for the 40 indicator location samples ranging from 942 to 1,524 pCi/L with an average concentration of 1,244 pCi/L, and the 20 control location sample concentrations ranging from 1,221 to 1,521 pCi/L with an average concentration of 1,343 pCi/L. The maximum preoperational level detected was 1,500 pCi/L with an average concentration of 1,358 pCi/L. (Table C-5, Appendix C).
All other gamma emitters were less than the LLD.
- 2. Groundwater An expanded groundwater monitoring network was initiated in 2006 for the SSES as part of a site-wide hydrogeological investigation in accordance with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Groundwater Protection Initiative (GPI). The additional groundwater monitoring wells are sampled as part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) to regularly assess groundwater quality and provide early detection of any inadvertent leaks or spills of radioactive materials that could reach groundwater. Groundwater is sampled quarterly and analyzed for H-3 and gamma activity.
Additionally, precipitation sampling was initiated in 2007 and analyzed for H-3 activity to assess the influence of station airborne H-3 emissions on groundwater H-3 activities.
Precipitation washout monitoring data is not used in dose calculations; however, the data does give a gross indication of H-3 which makes its way into surface water and soil where it eventually seeps into shallow groundwater. The annual average H-3 concentrations in precipitation, groundwater monitoring wells and surface water are summarized in Table C-7 and graphically depicted in Figure C Annual Average Tritium Activity (pCi/L) in Precipitation and Surface Water Versus Groundwater.
Groundwater samples were collected quarterly at 10 indicator locations (1S3, 1S4, 4S8, 4S9, 8S4, 7S10, 2S8, 6S11A, 6S12 and 7S11) and one control station (13S7). Each sample was analyzed for H-3 and gamma emitters.
Tritium Tritium activity was detected in three of the 40 indicator location samples with concentrations ranging from 251 pCi/L to 372 pCi/L with an average concentration of 292 pCi/L. Tritium was not detected in any of the four control location samples. The maximum preoperational level detected was 119 pCi/L. (Table C-6, Appendix C); Figure C Annual Average Tritium Activity (pCi/L) in Precipitation and Surface Water Versus Groundwater results from 2007 to 2024 are plotted.
Gamma Spectrometry Naturally occurring K-40 was detected in one of the indicator samples with a concentration of 354 pCi/L. The Preoperational data is not available for comparison. (Table C-6, Appendix C)
All other gamma emitters were less than the LLD.

Drinking Water Drinking water samples were collected monthly from one location (12H2). Each sample was analyzed for gross beta, H-3 and gamma emitters. Drinking Water control samples have not been obtained/analyzed because there are no upstream locations available in reasonable proximity to SSES. As an alternative to an upstream control location, Surface Water pathway control samples are obtained from the Susquehanna River via an auto-composite sampler at the SSES Intake Structure. Surface Water control samples serve as control samples for the Drinking Water pathway since the Surface Water control samples are from the Susquehanna River.
Gross Beta Gross beta activity was detected in five of the 12 drinking water samples. Sample concentrations ranged from 2.1 to 3.4 pCi/L with an average concentration of 2.6 pCi/L. The maximum preoperational level detected was 2.8 pCi/L with an average concentration of 1.8 pCi/L. (Table C-8, Appendix C); Figure C Gross Beta Activity in Drinking Water results from 1977 to 2024 are plotted.
Tritium Tritium activity was not detected in any of the samples. The maximum preoperational level detected was 194 pCi/L with an average of 132 pCi/L. (Table C-8, Appendix C)
Gamma Spectrometry Naturally occurring K-40 was detected in one of the 12 indicator samples with a concentration of 41 pCi/L. Preoperational data is not available for comparison. (Table C-8, Appendix C)

Conclusions The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for SSES was conducted during 2024 in accordance with the SSES TRM and ODCM. The LLD values required by the TRM and ODCM were achieved for this reporting period (See Appendix A and Appendix C). The objectives of the program were also met during this period. The data collected assists in demonstrating that SSES was operated in compliance with TRM and ODCM requirements.
The concentration of radioactive material in the environment that could be attributable to SSES operations was only a small fraction of the concentration of naturally occurring and man-made radioactivity. Since these results were comparable to the results obtained during the preoperational phase of the program, which ran from 1972 to 1982, and with results collected since commercial operation, it is concluded that operation of the SSES had no significant radiological impact on the health and safety of the public or the environment.
From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the levels and fluctuations of radioactivity in environmental samples were as expected for the environment surrounding the SSES.

APPENDIX B SAMPLE DESIGNATION AND LOCATIONS B-1
SAMPLE DESIGNATION All distances from the SSES to monitoring locations are measured from the standby gas treatment vent at 44200/N34117 (Pa. Grid System). The location codes are based on both distance and direction from the SSES. The letters in the location codes indicate if the monitoring locations are on site (within the site boundary) or, if they are not on site, the approximate distances of the location from the SSES as described below:
S
= On site E
= 4 - 5 miles A
= < 1 mile F
= 5 - 10 miles B
= 1 - 2 miles G
= 10 - 20 miles C
= 2 - 3 miles H = > 20 miles D
= 3 - 4 miles The numbers preceding the letters in the location codes provide the direction of the monitoring locations from the SSES by indicating the sectors in which they are located. A total number of 16 sectors (numbered one through 16) equally divide an imaginary circle on a map of the SSES and its vicinity, with the SSES at the center of the circle. The middle of sector one is directed due North (N). Moving clockwise from sector one, the sector immediately adjacent to sector one is sector two, the middle of which is directed due north, north east (NNE). Continuing to move clockwise the sector number increases to 16, which is the north northwest sector (NNW).

TABLE B-1 SAMPLING LOCATIONS Specific information about the individual sampling locations are given in Table B-1. Maps B-1 through B-6 show the locations of sampling stations with respect to the Site. A Portable Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to provide the coordinates of sampling locations.

(2) A standard (std.) quarter (qtr.) is considered to be 91.25 days. Results obtained for monitoring periods of other durations are normalized by multiplying them by 91.25/x, where x is the actual duration in days of the period.
(3) Uncertainties for individual monitoring location results are two standard deviations of the elemental doses of four elements from the two dosimeters assigned to each monitoring location, representing the variability between the elemental doses of each of the four dosimeter elements.
(4) No measurement could be made at this location because the dosimeters were lost, stolen, or damaged. Refer to Appendix A of the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report for an explanation of program exceptions to REMP.
(5) Uncertainties associated with quarterly indicator and control averages are two standard deviations, representing the variability between the results of the individual monitoring locations.
(1) Individual monitor location results are normally the average of the elemental doses of four elements from C-9
