SUMMARY

1.1 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report presents data obtained through analyses of environmental samples collected for Palisades Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for the period January 1 through December 31, 2022. This report fulfills the requirements of Palisades Technical Specification 5.6.2.

No measurable levels of radiation above baseline levels attributable to Palisades operation were detected in the vicinity of Palisades in 2022. The 2022 REMP thus substantiated the adequacy of source control and effluent monitoring at Palisades with no observed impact of plant operations on the environment.

Palisades established the REMP prior to the station becoming operational to provide data on background radiation and radioactivity normally present in the area.

Palisades has continued to monitor the environment by sampling air, water, sediment, broad leaf vegetation, fish, and food products, as well as measuring direct radiation.

Palisades also samples milk if milk-producing animals used for human consumption are present within five miles (8 km) of the plant. All analyses have required, nuclide specific, lower limit of detections (LLDs) which must be achieved. The requirements of the REMP are formally described in the offsite dose calculation manual (ODCM), a site specific regulatory document.

The REMP includes sampling indicator and control locations. The REMP utilizes indicator locations near the site to determine if any increases of radioactivity has occurred due to station operation and control locations farther away from the site to indicate the presence of only naturally occurring radioactivity. Palisades personnel compare indicator results with control and preoperational results to assess any impact Palisades operation might have had on the surrounding environment.

In 2022, REMP samples were collected for radiological analysis. The results of indicator locations were compared with control locations and previous studies. All 2022 REMP results support the conclusion that the surrounding environment is not adversely affected by Palisades effluents. No activity in any REMP sample from 2022 was attributed to Palisades effluents.

1.2 Reporting Levels No samples equaled or exceeded reporting levels.

1.3 Sample Deviations During 2022, environmental sampling was performed for eight media types (airborne, surface water, drinking water, offsite groundwater, sediment, broad leaf vegetation, fish, and food products) and analyzed for direct radiation. All REMP samples were obtained as required by the ODCM in 2022 apart from seven instances of sample deviations which are further discussed in Attachment 1 Table 8.

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 4 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report 1.4 Program Modifications The REMP was modified slightly in 2022. All changes were made via the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) change process (Technical Specification 5.5.1 c.).

The changes included updating the LLD value for Zr-95 in water (to 30 pCi/L in accordance with regulatory guidance), and a change to some of the direct radiation measuring stations (discussed in more detail in section 4.2). As required by the ODCM change process, the revised ODCM is included in the 2022 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR).

2.0 INTRODUCTION

2.1 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Palisades established the REMP, as defined in the ODCM, to fulfill 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix I Section IV.B.2. The REMP supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.

2.2 Pathways Monitored The airborne, direct radiation, waterborne and ingestion pathways are monitored as required by Palisades ODCM. These requirements are also listed in this report in Table 1 through Table 4.

Section 4.0 of this report provides a discussion of 2022 sampling results and Section 5.0 providing a summary of results for the monitored exposure pathways.

2.3 Land Use Census Palisades conducts a land use census annually to identify changes in uses of land within five miles of the site that would require modifications to the REMP and the ODCM. The purpose of this census is to identify critical receptor pathways for the purpose of effluent modeling and REMP sampling.

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 13 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report 4.0 INTERPRETATION AND TRENDS OF RESULTS 4.1 Air Particulate and Radioiodine Sample There were 312 air samples collected and analyzed for gross beta and I-131 during 2022. Air iodine and particulate samples are collected weekly from six air-sampling locations. Air is metered into the sampling unit through a 47-mm air filter (for particulate) and an air iodine cartridge. The filters are in series with one another and housed within the same filter holder. An "as found" and "as left" leak test is performed at each station during each sample collection.

Weekly samples were sent to Teledyne Brown Engineering Environmental Services for analysis.

Analysis of the airborne particulate sample data, between the five near-site indicator locations and the control location, validates that the surrounding environment is not adversely affected by Palisades' effluents. The average concentration of gross beta activity among all indicator locations was 2.69E-02 pCi/m3 and was 2.54E-02 pCi/m3 for the control location. All I-131 activity results, for both indicator and control locations, were below the minimum detectable activity (MDA). Gamma isotopic analysis is performed quarterly on a quarterly composite of the filter papers. All radionuclides detected (Be-7) were naturally occurring radionuclides which are not attributed to plant effluents.

Palisades pre-operational environmental study showed naturally occurring gross beta radiation between 0.03 and 3.0 pCi/m3 with a similar trend between stations onsite, in the surrounding community, and control stations. The activity results from 2022 indicate there is no measurable change between pre-operational airborne gross beta activity and present day airborne gross beta activity.

There was five REMP deviations in 2022 involving air sampling. Two of the deviations involved a tripped GFCI outlet, two of the deviations involved a seized pump, and one deviation involved a loss of power supply. Sufficient volume was obtained from all REMP air samples to perform analysis and all results were incorporated in the statistics in this report. These instances are discussed in more detail in Attachment 1 Table 8.

In the absence of plant-related gamma radionuclides, gross beta activity is attributed to naturally occurring radionuclides. The air sample results collected in accordance with the REMP support the conclusions of the effluents monitoring program for 2022. This conclusion is that the surrounding environment is not adversely affected by Palisades' effluents. No REMP air samples from 2022 contained measurable radiological materials attributed to Palisades' effluents.

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 14 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report 4.2 Thermoluminescent Dosimetry (TLD) Sample Results Palisades reports measured dose as net exposure (subtracting transit reading) normalized to 92 days. TLDs are oriented in an inner ring, outer ring, and control locations. The inner ring consists of 11 TLDs, the outer ring consists of 9 TLDs, and there is 1 control location. This orientation allows for monitoring all 9 overland compass sectors surrounding Palisades. To assess the effect of direct and shine radiation from Palisades to the environment the inner ring, outer ring, and control TLDs are compared to one another. Additionally, each individual TLD location is compared to a baseline of data which was created from a comprehensive review of data from 2011 through 2016. The high and low values for the baseline are based upon two standard deviations for each data point from 2011 through 2016. If a value is measured outside the baseline additional follow-up investigation is performed to evaluate the cause.

During 2021, four additional locations were added (identified as 4-21, 5-21, 9-21, and 11-21) to establish a new baseline at these locations. Starting in the first quarter of 2022, locations 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12 were discontinued and locations 4-21, 5-21, 9-21, and 11-21 were implemented into the program. Essentially this resulted in a relocation of three of the outer ring TLDs, a relocation of one of the control TLDs, and a discontinuation of two control TLDs. All changes made were in accordance with the ODCM and the ODCM change process (technical specification 5.5.1 c.).

There was two REMP deviations in 2022 involving TLDs. In October, TLD number 23 was found on the ground by a member of the public and was re-installed within a few days. During collections of the 4th quarter TLDs, TLD number 24 was found on the ground about 10 feet from its designated location. The 4th quarter results for TLD 23 and 24 are recorded in Attachment 2 Table 13, but are not included in the calculations in Table 5 or Table 7 due to the deviations. These instances are also discussed in Attachment 1 Table 8.

During 2022, three of the 82 valid results trended at a value above the baseline.

These TLDs were numbers 1, 7, and 9-21 from the 4th quarter 2022. An evaluation was performed which included other TLD programs (ISFSI monitoring), REMP TLD data, other REMP data, and effluents data. The conclusion is that activity from REMP TLDs is from naturally occurring background radiation and not from Palisades' direct or shine radiation.

Table 5 shows the consistent trend of average inner ring, outer ring, and control TLDs.

TLD measurements taken as part of Palisades pre-operational environmental study used different instrumentation which had difficulty in achieving desired sensitivity and accuracy. A more sensitive type of TLD was implemented in 1971 and the present day TLD device used is the industry standard. TLD data has trended consistently throughout the several most recent independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) loading campaigns which indicates these loading campaigns have had no measurable effect on the environment.

For all surface, drinking, and groundwater indicator samples, the same control sample is used as a baseline for comparison. That control sample is referred to as the "Ludington Control" and is collected 201 km north of Palisades. The Ludington Control sample is analyzed monthly and is a composite of daily samples. The Ludington Control sample is analyzed for gamma radionuclide, tritium, and gross beta activity. In 2022 the only radionuclide activity detected in Ludington Control water was naturally occurring isotopes (K-40 and Th-228). Of the twelve Ludington Control samples collected in 2022, five contained detectable gross beta with an average value of 3.03 pCi/L. The gross beta activity is a result of naturally occurring radionuclide and is not attributed to Palisades effluents.

4.3.1 Surface Water The indicator surface water samples collected and analyzed for the REMP include "Lake In" water. This sample is Lake Michigan water after it has traveled through the Palisades intake structure and traveling screens. This sample is collected daily and composited into a monthly sample which is analyzed for gamma radionuclide and tritium onsite. This sample is also analyzed by Teledyne Brown Engineering Environmental Services for gamma, tritium, and gross beta activity. All radionuclide detected (K-40 and Th-228) were naturally occurring and are not attributed to Palisades effluents. Three out of the twelve monthly samples contained measurable gross beta with the average detectable gross beta activity at 2.66 pCi/L. The gross beta activity is attributed to naturally occurring radionuclide.

I I

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 16 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Palisades pre-operational environmental study established a baseline of gross beta activity for the site before Palisades was operational. The study results for surface water showed consistently measurable results for gross beta activity between 11 - 18

(+/- 5) pCi/L.

The surface water sample results collected in accordance with the REMP support the conclusions of the effluents monitoring program for 2022. This conclusion is that the surrounding environment is not adversely affected by Palisades effluents. No REMP surface water samples from 2022 contained measurable radiological materials attributed to Palisades effluents.

4.3.2 Drinking Water The indicator drinking water samples collected and analyzed for the REMP include "Domestic Water", "South Haven Drinking Water", and "Palisades Park Community Water". All samples are analyzed for gamma, tritium, and gross beta by Teledyne Brown Engineering Environmental Services.

Domestic Water is collected onsite from a potable water system. This sample is collected daily and composited into a monthly sample which is analyzed for gamma radionuclide and tritium onsite. All radionuclide detected (Ra-226 and Th-228) were naturally occurring and are not attributed to Palisades effluents. Three out of the twelve monthly samples contained measurable gross beta activity with the average detectable gross beta activity at 3.15 pCi/L. The gross beta activity is attributed to naturally occurring radionuclide. Domestic water is not required by the ODCM for the REMP. This sample is collected as part of the NRC bulletin 80-10 commitments and is included in this report because the data strengthens the REMP.

South Haven Drinking Water is collected from the City of South Haven Water Treatment facility located in South Haven, MI. All radionuclide detected (Th-228) were naturally occurring and are not attributed to Palisades effluents. Three out of the twelve monthly samples contained measurable gross beta with the average detectable gross beta activity at 2.68 pCi/L. The gross beta activity is attributed to naturally occurring radionuclide.

Palisades Park Community Water is collected once per month as a grab sample from a community just south of Palisades while the facility is operational (summer months).

This sample is analyzed for gamma, tritium, and gross beta activity. No radionuclide were detected from gamma spectroscopy or tritium analysis. Zero out of the six monthly samples contained measurable gross beta activity. Gross beta activity is not required by the ODCM for this sample but is performed for trending purposes and to strengthen the REMP.

Palisades pre-operational environmental study established a baseline of gross beta activity for the site before Palisades was operational. The study results relied upon as a baseline for drinking water analysis are the same results as with surface water, that being consistent gross beta activity between 11 - 18 (+/- 5) pCi/L.

The drinking water sample results collected, in accordance with the REMP, support the conclusions of the effluents monitoring program for 2022. This conclusion is that the surrounding environment is not affected by Palisades effluents. No REMP drinking water samples from 2022 contained measurable radiological materials attributed to Palisades effluents.

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 17 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report 4.3.3 Groundwater Palisades implements an extensive groundwater monitoring program in accordance with NEI-0707, "Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative - Final Guidance Document". This program is designed to identify onsite leaks to groundwater to allow for prompt repair or isolation of the leak. The results of the onsite groundwater program are described in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR).

Palisades samples one offsite groundwater location. This sample is not required by Palisades ODCM but is procedurally implemented to strengthen the program overall.

The REMP groundwater sample is the "Palisades Park Commercial Well Water" sample. This sample is collected once per month as a grab sample from a community just south of Palisades while the facility is operational (summer months).

This sample is analyzed for gamma, tritium, and gross beta activity by Teledyne Brown Engineering Environmental Services. In 2022, the only radionuclides detected (Th-228) were naturally occurring isotopes which are not attributed to Palisades effluents. No tritium was detected. Five out of the Six monthly samples contained measurable gross beta with the average detectable gross beta activity at 3.79 pCi/L.

The gross beta activity is attributed to naturally occurring radionuclide.

Palisades' pre-operational environmental study established a baseline of gross beta activity for the site before Palisades was operational. The study results were that five well water samples from Palisades contained gross beta activity above 5 pCi/L with the highest value being 16 pCi/L. Two samples from Covert Park well water contained gross beta activity at 6 and 7 pCi/L.

The groundwater sample results collected in accordance with the REMP support the conclusions of the effluents monitoring program for 2022. This conclusion is that the surrounding environment is not adversely affected by Palisades' effluents. No REMP groundwater samples from 2022 contained measurable radiological materials attributed to Palisades effluents.

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 18 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report 4.4 Sediment Sample Results Sediment samples are collected two times per year north and south of the plant from the beach on Lake Michigan. One sample is collected at the southern edge of the property and a second sample is collected approximately 0.5 miles north of the plant.

The sample south of the plant is not required by the ODCM but is collected and analyzed to strengthen the REMP. Both the north and south sediment samples are analyzed for gamma radionuclide. In 2022, the only radionuclides detected (K-40, Th-228) were naturally occurring isotopes which are not attributed to Palisades effluents. In accordance with the ODCM, no control sample is collected for this sample type.

Soil samples were not specifically part of the Palisades pre-operational environmental study however a study of Cs-137 found in soil (due to global events such as historical atomic testing and fallout) was performed by Palisades in 2011.

Analysis was performed of soil in the surrounding area (Southwest Michigan) which showed Cs-137 concentrations between 1.41E-08 uCi/g and 5.68E-07 uCi/g with an average of 2.68E-07 uCi/g. Considering similar studies performed by other utilities, a conservative (low) background of 1.8E-07 uCi/g Cs-137 in soil is assumed to be due to global fallout.

The sediment sample results collected in accordance with the REMP support the conclusions of the effluents monitoring program for 2022. This conclusion is that the surrounding environment is not adversely affected by Palisades effluents. No REMP sediment samples from 2022 contained measurable radiological materials attributed to Palisades effluents.

4.5 Ingestion Sample Results 4.5.1 Milk Sample Results Indicator milk samples were not available to be collected during 2022. In accordance with Palisades ODCM, broadleaf sampling is performed when milk sampling is not performed.

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 19 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report 4.5.2 Broad leaf Sample Results In accordance with Palisades ODCM three different kinds of broad leaf vegetation is sampled from two onsite (indicator) locations and one offsite (control) location due to the fact that milk sampling is not performed. Broad leaf samples are collected once per month during the growing season and analyzed for gamma radionuclides including iodine-131. Naturally occurring radionuclide detected in broad leaf vegetation (Be-7 and K-40) are not attributed to Palisades effluents. Cs-137 detected in broad leaf vegetation was attributed to historical global atomic testing and biological uptake. Cs-137 was detected at location BV1 (0.4 miles SSE) for four out of the five monthly samples with an average activity of 73.5 pCi/kg. Cs-137 was detected in none of the samples from location BV2 or BVC. It is not abnormal to detect Cs-137 in broad leaf samples. Palisades procedurally implements a conservative administrative action value to perform additional reviews if the activity of broad leaf samples exceeds 146 pCi/kg Cs-137. This administrative action value was developed in 2013 based upon Cs-137 trends in broadleaf samples. The absence of other more prominent radionuclides measured in the plant effluent and coolant systems further support that the Cs-137 detected in broadleaf is not a result of Palisades activity.

The pre-operational environmental study consisted in part of Cs-137 and Sr-90 analysis for crops and milk. These (and broadleaf) sample results are a result of historical global atomic testing and biological uptake. The pre-operational study identified Cs-137 in milk samples ranging from 2 to 70 pCi/L and Sr-90 ranging from 5 to 15 pCi/L. For crop samples, gross gamma activity was generally between 0.11 and 0.22 pCi/g and gross beta activity was generally between 0.72 to 3.31 pCi/g.

The broad leaf sample results collected in accordance with the REMP support the conclusions of the effluents monitoring program for 2022. This conclusion is that the surrounding environment is not adversely affected by Palisades effluents. No REMP broadleaf samples from 2022 contained measurable radiological materials attributed to Palisades effluents.

4.5.3 Fish Sample Results Indicator and Control fish samples are collected and analyzed twice per year. The filet of the fish is analyzed for gamma radionuclide. The indicator fish are collected near Palisades lake-out discharge point. At least 2 species of commercial or recreational importance are collected and analyzed. At least one sample of the same species is collected as a control sample. The control fish are collected 201 km north of Palisades near Ludington, MI. In 2022, the only radionuclides detected among all fish samples were naturally occurring radionuclides (K-40 and Th-228) which were not attributed to Palisades effluents.

Palisades pre-operational environmental study established a baseline for radiological material in fish. The study established that gross beta activity is generally between 2 and 4 pCi/g and gross gamma activity is generally between 0.04 and 0.4 pCi/g in fish.

Cs-137 and Sr-90 were measured in the pre-operational study and were expected to be measured due to known worldwide contamination from historical global atomic testing. Cs-137 detected was generally between 0.10 and 0.25 pCi/g and Sr-90 detected was generally between 0.01 to 0.04 pCi/g in the pre-operational environmental study.

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 20 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report The fish sample results collected in accordance with the REMP support the conclusions of the effluents monitoring program for 2022. This conclusion is that the surrounding environment is not adversely affected by Palisades effluents. No REMP fish water samples from 2022 contained measurable radiological materials attributed to Palisades effluents.

4.5.4 Food Product Sample Results Two principal fruit crops are collected once per year and analyzed for gamma radionuclides including Iodine-131 in accordance with the REMP. The two crops sampled in 2022 were blueberries and apples. The results of all sample analysis show that only naturally occurring radionuclides (K-40) were present. In accordance with the ODCM, no control sample is collected for this sample type.

Palisades pre-operational environmental study performed radiological analysis on a variety of crop samples. Gross gamma activity was generally between 0.11 and 0.22 pCi/g and gross beta activity was generally between 0.72 to 3.31 pCi/g.

The fruit sample results collected in accordance with the REMP support the conclusions of the effluents monitoring program for 2022. This conclusion is that the surrounding environment is not adversely affected by Palisades effluents. No REMP fruit samples from 2022 contained measurable radiological materials attributed to Palisades effluents.

4.6 Land Use Census Results The latest land use census (performed in 2022) did not identify any new locations that prompt a change to the REMP or to the atmospheric dispersion or deposition factors used for offsite dose modeling. The sectors in Table 6 include all overland compass sectors.

6 TLD 23 10/22/22 through 10/25/22 TLD found on ground by member of the public TLD number 23 was found on the ground by a member of the public over the 10/22/22

- 10/23/22 weekend, underneath the siren pole where it is typically mounted. The TLD was brought to Palisades support building Monday 10/24 and re-deployed on Tuesday 10/25 with a new holder. The old holder had potentially failed during a windstorm about 1 week prior to being found. The results from this TLD are listed in Table 13 but are not included in the statistics in Table 7 due to this deviation.

7 TLD 24 01/10/23 TLD found on ground during routine change-out TLD number 24 was found on the ground about 10 feet from its designated location during the collection of 4th quarter TLDs. A new TLD was installed at the normal location for 1st quarter 2023 monitoring. The results from this TLD are listed in Table 13 but are not included in the statistics in Table 7 due to this deviation.

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 47 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Page 1 of 3 Interlaboratory Comparison Program Results 1.0 Summary Summary of Results - Inter-laboratory Comparison Program (ICP)

The TBE Laboratory analyzed Performance Evaluation (PE) samples of air particulate (AP), air iodine, milk, soil, vegetation, and water matrices for various analytes. The PE samples supplied by 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:

A.

Analytics Evaluation Criteria Analytics evaluation report provides a ratio of TBEs result and Analytics known value. Since flag values are not assigned by Analytics, TBE evaluates the reported ratios based on internal QC requirements based on the DOE MAPEP criteria.

B.

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.

C.

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 resemble typical environmental samples obtained at commercial nuclear power facilities.

For the TBE laboratory, 142 out of 150 analyses performed met the specified acceptance criteria. Eight analyses did not meet the specified acceptance criteria and were addressed through the TBE Corrective Action Program.

TBE implements a non-conformance report (NCR) program to formally document QC investigations which include the root cause of the failure, the corrective action taken, and actions taken to prevent reoccurrence.

I I

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 48 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Page 2 of 3 Interlaboratory Comparison Program Results NOTE: Two analyses (soil for Tc-99 and U-238) that did not meet acceptance criteria was performed for TBE information and is not on the list of required ICP analyses. A summary is found below:

1 The Analytics March 2022 AP Ce-141 result was evaluated as Not Acceptable.

The reported value for Ce-141 was 60.9 pCi and the known result was 42.0 pCi/L (1.45 ratio of reported result vs. known; TBEs internal acceptance range is 0.70 -

1.30). This sample was used as the workgroup duplicate with a result of 45.7 (109% of known) and was also counted on a different detector with a result of 50.9 (121% of known). This was TBEs first failure for AP Ce-141. (NCR 22-04) 2 The MAPEP February 2022 Urine U-234 & U-238 results were evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBEs reported values of 0.142 and 0.0254 were above the known upper ranges of 0.0096 and 0.0134 respectively for U-234 and U-238. These spiked values were below TBEs typical MDC for urine client samples. The samples were re-prepped using a larger sample aliquot and counted for 60 hours6.944444e-4 days 0.0167 hours 9.920635e-5 weeks 2.283e-5 months as opposed to 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months . The recount results were 0.00732 for U-234 and 0.0119 for U-238 (both within acceptable range). MAPEP urine samples will be flagged to use a larger sample aliquot and counting time than typical client samples.

MAPEP did not include any urine cross-check samples in August. (NCR 22-05) 3 The ERA MRAD September 2022 AP Pu-238 was evaluated as Not Acceptable.

The reported value was 38.8 pCi and the known result was 29.9 (acceptance range 22.6 - 36.7). The AP filter was cut in half prior to digestion (shared with Fe-55) but should have been complete digested together and aliquotted afterwards like typical client samples. This is the first failure for AP Pu-238.

(NCR 22-19) 4 The ERA October 2022 water Uranium result was evaluated as Not Acceptable.

The reported value was 10.54 pCi/L and the known was 8.53 (acceptance range 6.60 - 9.88) or 124% of the known (acceptable for TBE QC). The 2-sigma error was 3.2, placing the reported result well within the acceptable range. This sample was used as the workgroup duplicate with a result of 8.2 +/- 2.9 pCi/L (also within the acceptable range). All other QA was reviewed with no anomalies. (NCR 22-20) 5 The Analytics AP Co-60 result was evaluated as Not Acceptable. The reported value was 207 pCi and the known was 147 (141% of the known). TBEs internal QC acceptance is 70 - 130%. All QA was reviewed with no anomalies. This sample was used as the workgroup duplicate and counted on a different detector with a result of 167 pCi (114% of the known). This is the first failure for AP Co-60

- average result ratio compared to the known is 109%. (NCR 22-21)

Plant: Palisades Year: 2022 Page 49 of 49 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Page 3 of 3 Interlaboratory Comparison Program Results 6

The MAPEP August 2022 water Tc-99 result was evaluated as Not Acceptable.

The reported value was 1.86 +/- 0.414 Bq/L for this false positive test. The evaluation of the submitted result to the 3 times the uncertainty indicated a slight positive. This sample was used as the workgroup duplicate with a result of 0.88

+/- 0.374 Bq/L. All QC was reviewed, and no anomalies found. This is the first unacceptable since the resumption of reporting water Tc-99 for the 3rd quarter of 2020. TBE to known ratios have ranged from 94-109% during this time. (NCR 22-22)

The Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program provides evidence of in control counting systems and methods, and that the laboratories are producing accurate and reliable data.

Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are analyzed by an offsite vendor, Environmental Dosimetry Company (EDC). The TLDs used are Panasonic 814 Environmental dosimeters.

EDC implements an internal quality assurance program and audits the program annually. There were no findings from the 2022 audit. Some of EDCs vendors also perform independent testing on the TLDs accuracy and precision. During 2022, 100% (72/72) of the individual dosimeters met the criterion for accuracy and precision. Also, 100% (12/12) of the dosimeter sets met the criterion for mean bias and precision and 100% (9/9) of independent blind testing passed the performance criteria for mean bias. Acceptance criteria for mean bias is +/-15% and for precision is +/-12.8% in accordance with EDC Quality System Manual..
