ATTACHMENT ATTACHMENT INDEPENDENT SPENT INDEPENDENT SPENT FUELFUEL STORAGE STORAGE INSTALLATION INSTALLATION RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE RELEASE REPORT REPORT BIG ROCK BIG POINT ROCK POINT January 2013 2013 - December December 20132013 I. FACILITY DESCRIPTION FACILITY DESCRIPTION Independent Spent Fuel The Independent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is located within the owner-controlled area of the Big Rock PointPoint (BRP) site. The storage of spent fuel at BRP meets the requirements of 10 CFR 72, and the Certificate of Compliance 72-1 026, issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

No. 72-1026, II. EFFLUENT LIMITS AND CONTROLS The ISFSI operates under effluent control limits as required by 10 CFR 72.104.

However, the design of the sealed storage canisters at the ISFSI precludes any gaseous or liquid effluent releases.

Ill. RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT RELEASES III.

As noted in Section II, by design, there are no radioactive liquid or gaseous effluents originating from the ISFSI facility. The annual radiological surveillance performed during this reporting period did not indicate any release of radioactivity from the ISFSI.

IV. ISFSI ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM The BRP Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Program (REMP) is described in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Manual (ODCM),Section I,I, Subsection 4.0. ~.O. The ISFSI Environmental Monitoring Program, which is contained within the BRP REMP, consists of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) at four locations along the perimeter of the ISFSI ISFSI site, and three control control TLD5 TLDs 10.5 10.5 to 12.6 12.6 miles miles from the site.

Quarterly Quarterly TLDs are are read quarterly, as reflected in Section VI.

in Section VI. Quarterly Quarterly measurements measurements are are compared compared to control control measurements to evaluate evaluate compliance with 10 CFR 72.104.

10 72.104. The results for the ISFSI TLDs and and the control TLD5 TLDs measured measured in 2013 are summarized in Section VI.
