Palisades Nuclear Plant 2012 Radioactive Effluent Release Report 2012 Plant Operating History Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) entered the reporting period on line on January 1, 2012, at nominal full power (NFP). PNP performed a planned shutdown on January 5,2012, to address primary coolant system leakage through a control rod drive mechanism mechanical seal and leak-by of a pressurizer vent valve. The unit attained criticality on January 8, 2012, and returned to NFP on January 11, 2012. PNP performed a planned shutdown on April 8, 2012, to enter 1 R22 refueling outage. The unit attained criticality on May 10,2012, and returned to NFP on May 18, 2012. PNP performed a planned shutdown on June 12, 2012, to perform repairs on the safety injection refueling water tank. The unit attained criticality on July 10, 2012, and returned to NFP on July 15, 2012. PNP performed a planned shutdown on August 12, 2012, to locate and repair primary system leakage on control rod drive (CRD-24) upper housing. The unit attained criticality on August 29,2012, and returned to NFP on August 31,2012. PNP performed a planned shutdown on November 4, 2012, to repair a main steam leak.
The unit attained criticality on November 7,2012, and returned to NFP on November 8, 2012. PNP remained on line for the remainder of 2012. The unit generated 5,178,213 MWHrs of net electrical energy during 2012.

E. Supplemental Information

Abnormal Discharges In December 2007, tritium was detected in a groundwater monitoring well at a level of 22,000 pCi/L. The source of the activity is leakage associated with T-91, the utility water storage tank, and associated piping. T-91 is used to store processed liquid waste prior to discharge. No radionuclides other than tritium have been detected in the groundwater.
Additional piping repair work of underground piping was performed during the spring of 2011. The overflow line to T-91 was sleeved to ensure piping integrity. This line was assumed to be dry, based on all indication, but contained highly tritiated water, of which a small amount was expelled during the sleeving operation. This resulted in an additional release of tritiated water to the groundwater which caused spiking in Monitoring Well 3. This event is further discussed under section 9, Other, Groundwater Monitoring, of this report.
Monitoring of the groundwater tritium plume continues in order to determine effectiveness of the repairs, and to ensure the accuracy of the site hydrology.
Depth to Local Water Table - The depth is approximately eight to nine feet.
Classification of Subsurface Aquifers - Not used for drinking water.
Expected Movement/Mobility of Groundwater Plume - Westerly direction down-gradient toward Lake Michigan at approximately two feet per day.
Land Use Characteristics - PNP site property, water not used for drinking or irrigation.
NRC Notification, Date and contact Organization - The NRC was notified on December 10,2007, by PNP.

Annual Land Use Census Changes The garden critical receptor remains located in the southeast sector at 1.01 miles. The residence critical receptor is unchanged at 0.8 miles. Also unchanged is that there are no beef cattle or dairy cows located within five miles of the plant. There are goats located to the ENE at 2.62 miles. These goats are fed stored feed.
- 5.
Effluent Monitoring System Inoperability There was one effluent monitor that has been out of service for greater than 30 days. RIA-2320, steam generator blowdown vent, was declared inoperable on November 6,2012, due to indicating failed. Technically, the pathway is not in service, but there is suspected valve leakage in the system, so compensatory samples are being obtained as a conservative measure as if it were in service. Work continues through the work control process to get the monitor returned to service.
- 6.
Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (aDeM) Changes There was no revision to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual during the report period.
- 7.
Process Control Program Changes None.
- 8.
Errata/Corrections to Previous Reports None.

Other Groundwater Monitoring PNP installed five groundwater monitoring wells in 2007, and added an additional nine wells in 2008. These wells were strategically placed within the owner controlled area, both inside and outside the protected area to allow detection of radioactive contamination of ground water due to leaks or spills from plant systems. Monitoring well (MW) 3 is most indicative of a historic leak that continues to be monitored and addressed through piping repairs. This leak is described in the Abnormal Discharges section. Tritium levels for 2012 in MW3 ranged from less than minimum detectable activity Page 3 of 5
(MDA) to 5,233 pCi/L, down from 19,854 pCi/L in 2011. Monitoring well MW2 exhibited a spike to 8,952 in February 2012, which was caused by a leaking underground radwaste discharge line that was subsequently isolated and repaired, and levels dropped to nondetectable in June 2012. Monitoring well MW11 exhibited two detectable readings in 2012, with the highest being 792 pCi/L. Values of this magnitude may be attributed to precipitation recapture of tritium. The remaining wells showed no activity throughout the year. Well locations are depicted in Figure 1.
Carbon-14 In 2010, PNP and other facilities participated in an EPRI task force to build a model to accurately estimate gaseous C-14 releases, given some key site-specific plant parameters (mass of the primary coolant, average thermal neutron cross section, rated MW, etc). This work was completed in November 2010. The estimates for C-14 were constructed using the aforementioned EPRI methodology contained with EPRI 1021106, Estimation of Carbon-14 in Nuclear Power Plant Gaseous Effluents. Using the C-14 curie estimates, the annual dose to man was derived from guidance contained within Regulatory Guide 1.109. Because the dose contribution of C-14 from liquid radioactive waste is much less than that contributed by gaseous radioactive waste, evaluation of C-14 in liquid radioactive waste is not required. (Reg Guide 1.21 Rev 2)
Annual C-14 release PNP and subsequent doses for 2012:
Total Gaseous C-14 Released Curies =
6.39 Gaseous C-14 as C02 Curies =
1.92 Effective Child TB Dose, C-14 mrem =
0.0296 Effective Child Bone Dose, C-14 mrem =
0.148 The quarterly curies released are provided in Table A-1 B. Airborne doses due to C-14 are grouped under the category of Particulate, Iodine, and Tritium which are contained in Table A-4.
Safety Injection Refueling Water (SIRW) Tank During the course of repairs to the SIRW tank during the forced outage from 6/12 to 7/12/12 there was 1.5E-5 Curies of various particulate radionuclides released from tank repair activities. These releases were quantified from sampling during the course of this work and actions were taken to mitigate these releases. The activity released is included as part of the continuous gaseous release information contained in Table A-1 B. This data is also included for dose calculation purposes provided as Table A-4 of this report.

ATTACHMENT 2 BIG ROCK POINT INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION 2012 RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT This report provides information relating to radioactive effluent releases and solid radioactive waste disposal at Big Rock Point (BRP) for the year 2012. The report format is detailed in the BRP Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). Effluent releases from BRP are controlled by the Defueled Technical Specifications and the ODCM requirements. The ODCM was not revised in 2012.
2012 Operating History On January 8,2007, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved release of the former BRP Nuclear Plant property for unrestricted use in accordance with the BRP License Termination Plan 1. On April 11, 2007, the license for BRP, DPR-06, was transferred to Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.
During 2012, normal Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) operations continued. There were no operational activities that generated any solid radioactive waste.
Liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring is no longer conducted as the former BRP nuclear plant property has been released from the license. Short-lived radionuclides, including iodines and noble gas, are neither expected nor reported.
- 1.
Supplemental Information A.
Batch Releases There were no batch releases of gaseous or liquid effluents during 2012. All batch releases of radioactive liquids as described in the ODCM ceased in 2004.
B.
Abnormal Releases There were no abnormal releases from BRP during 2012.
C.
Radioactive Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation BRP ODCM currently specifies required actions when less than the minimum number of radioactive effluent monitoring instrument channels are operable. The ODCM also specifies these actions be taken when installed effluent monitoring systems are removed from service for decommissioning.
All plant-installed liquid and gaseous radioactive effluent monitOring instrument channels have been permanently removed and dismantled.

- 2.
Gaseous Effluents Although there were no gaseous effluents released during 2012, Table 2 provides a summary of all gaseous radioactive effluent monitoring conducted during the reporting period as required by the aDCM.
- 3.
Liquid Effluents There were no liquid effluent batch releases during 2012. Table 3 lists and summarizes liquid effluent releases in accordance with the aDCM.
- 4.
Solid Waste There was no solid radioactive waste generated or shipped during 2012.
- 5.
Summary of Radiological Impact on Man The aDCM specifies that the annual effluent release report provide potential dose calculations based on measured effluent to liquid and gaseous pathways, if estimates of dose exceed one millirem to an organ or total body of any individual or more than one person-rem to the population within 50 miles. During 2012, there were no releases. Therefore, no calculations were required.
- 6.
affsite Dose Calculation Manual The aDCM describes the radiological release requirements for the BRP site.
There were no revisions to the aDCM in 2012.
- 7.
The Process Control Program (PCP) describes solid waste processing and disposal methods utilized at the BRP site. The PCP was not revised during 2012.
