Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2012 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report Supplemental Information Discussion of Radiation and Radioactivity (1)

Radiation and Radioactivity All matter is made of atoms. An atom is the smallest part into which matter can be broken down and still maintain all its chemical properties. Nuclear radiation is energy, in the form of waves or particles that is given off by unstable, radioactive atoms. Radioactive material exists naturally and has always been a part of our environment. The earth's crust, for example, contains radioactive uranium, radium, thorium, and potassium. Some radioactivity is a result of nuclear weapons testing. Examples of radioactive fallout that is normally present in environmental samples are cesium-137 and strontium-90. Some examples of radioactive materials released from a nuclear power plant are cesium-1 37, iodine-1 31, strontium-90, and cobalt-60. Radiation is measured in units of millirem; much like temperature is measured in degrees. A millirem is a measure of the biological effect of the energy deposited in tissue.

The natural and man-made radiation dose received in one year by the average American is 300 to 400 mrem (References 2, 3, 4 in Table - 1 below). Radioactivity is measured in curies.

A curie is that amount of radioactive material needed to produce 37,000,000,000 nuclear disintegrations per second. This is an extremely large amount of radioactivity in comparison to environmental radioactivity. That is why radioactivity in the environment is measured in picocuries. One picocurie is equal to one trillionth of a curie.

Sources of Radiation As mentioned previously, naturally occurring radioactivity has always been a part of our environment. Table - 1 shows the sources and doses of radiation from natural and man-made sources.

Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2012 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report Supplemental Information Table - 1 Radiation Sources and Corresponding Doses (1)

NATURAL MAN-MADE Radiation Dose Radiation Dose (millirem/year) (millirem/year)

Internal, inhalation (2) 228 Medical (3) 300 External, space 33 Consumer (4) 13 Internal, ingestion 29 Industrial(5) 0.3 External, terrestrial 21 Occupational 0.5 Weapons Fallout <1 Nuclear Power Plants <1 Approximate Total 311 Approximate Total 314 (1) Information from NCRP Reports 160 and 94 (2) Primarily from airborne radon and its radioactive progeny (3) Includes CT (147 mrem), nuclear medicine (77 mrem), interventional fluoroscopy (43 mrem) and conventional radiography and fluoroscopy (33 mrem)

(4) Primarily from cigarette smoking (4.6 mrem), commercial air travel (3.4 mrem), building materials (3.5 mrem), and mining and agriculture (0.8 mrem)

(5) Industrial, security, medical, educational, and research Cosmic radiation from the sun and outer space penetrates the earth's atmosphere and continuously interacts with us via rays and charged particles. Some of this cosmic radiation interacts with gases and particles in the atmosphere, making them radioactive in turn. These radioactive byproducts from cosmic ray interaction are referred to as cosmogenic radionuclides. Isotopes such as beryllium-7 and carbon-14 are formed in this way. Exposure to cosmic and cosmogenic sources of radioactivity results in about 33 mrem of radiation dose per year.

Additionally, natural radioactivity is in our body and in the food we eat (about 29 millirem/yr),

the ground we walk on (about 21 millirem/yr) and the air we breathe (about 228 millirem/yr).

The majority of a person's annual dose results from exposure to radon and thoron in the air we Page 9 of 75

Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2012 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report Supplemental Information breathe. These gases and their radioactive decay products arise from the decay of naturally occurring uranium, thorium and radium in the soil and building products such as brick, stone, and concrete. Radon and thoron levels vary greatly with location, primarily due to changes in the concentration of uranium and thorium in the soil. Residents at some locations in Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have a higher annual dose as a result of higher levels of radon/thoron gases in these areas. In total, these various sources of naturally-occurring radiation and radioactivity contribute to a total dose of about 311 mrem per year.

In addition to natural radiation, we are normally exposed to radiation from a number of man-made sources. The single largest doses from man-made sources result from therapeutic and diagnostic applications of x-rays and radiopharmaceuticals. The annual dose to an individual in the U.S. from medical and dental exposure is about 300 mrem. Consumer products, such as televisions and smoke detectors, contribute about 13 mrem/yr. Much smaller doses result from weapons fallout (less than 1 mrem/yr) and nuclear power plants. Typically, the average person in the United States receives about 314 mrem per year from man-made sources.

2. Maximum Permissible Concentration a,b,c. For fission and activation gases, iodines, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days, allowable release limits are calculated by solving equations 2.0-5 and 2.0-6 from the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Part II Chapter 2. The alarm setpoint is conservatively set at approximately 10% of the 10CFR20 limit.

d. For liquid effluents, with the exception of tritium and dissolved & entrained noble gasses, allowable release limits are calculated by solving equations 2.0-1 and 2.0-2 from the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Part II Chapter 2. The MPC values used for the monitors were as follows:

Radwaste discharge 3.03E-07 gCi/ml Service water 1.OOE-05 iCi/ml The allowable release limits for tritium and dissolved & entrained noble gases are as follows :

Tritium : 3.OOE-03 uCi/mL taken from Reg Guide 1.21 Dissolved & Entrained noble gases: 2.OOE-04 uCi/mL taken from NUREG 1302

3. Average Energy The average gamma energy used to calculate the alarm setpoints for the noble gas monitors was:

9.63E-01 MeV for Quarter 1 9.64E-01 MeV for Quarter 2 9.65E-01 MeV for Quarter 3 9.56E-01 MeV for Quarter 4

4. Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity

a. Fission and Activation Gases

b. lodines

c. Particulates a,b,c. The main chimney and reactor building ventilation exhaust systems are continually monitored for iodines and particulates. These samples are pulled every 7 days and analyzed by gamma isotopic. The particulate papers are composited every 31 days and sent to a vendor for Sr-89/90 and gross alpha analysis. Noble gas grab samples are pulled and analyzed by gamma isotopic weekly. Tritium samples are pulled and analyzed every month.

Page 12 of 75

Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2012 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report Supplemental Information The Sr-89/90 and gross alpha curies released values reported are actual. On a real time basis, the portion of the "percent of applicable limit" for these contributors is reported based on projections using the previous available data.

The actual results are obtained by editing the ODCM software inputs when the vendor results become available. Therefore, the "percent of applicable limits" in this report are actual.

The continuous strip chart recorders for the monitors on the release points are reviewed for spikes and the activity released is calculated. An additional calculated activity for noble gases is added to the main chimney release each month. This calculation is done because most of the grab samples show less than the lower limit of detection due to the low amount of activity and the large dilution flow at the sample point. The calculation takes into account the normal offgas train and the gland steam contribution to the release.

The average flow at the release points is used to calculate the curies released.

There are no ground level releases from QCNPS. All monitored releases are considered either elevated or mixed mode.

d. Carbon-14 Quad Cities has estimated its Carbon-14 generation and release in accordance with EPRI Technical Report 1021106, "Estimation of Carbon-14 in Nuclear Power Plant Gaseous Effluents". The Quad Cities estimate of 2.88E+01 Ci of Carbon-14 and the resultant 2.88E+01 Ci 14CO2 released is based upon a normalized Carbon-14 production rate of 5.1OE+00 Ci/GWTh-yr, a gaseous release fraction of 1.00, a Carbon-14 C02 fraction of 1.00, a reactor power rating of 2957 MWTh/unit for 2 units, and a calculated Effective Full Power days based upon Total Core Therms data.

e. Liquid Effluents The River Discharge Tanks are analyzed before discharge by gamma isotopic. A composite representative portion of this sample is saved. This is composited with other discharges that occurred every 31 days and is analyzed for tritium and gross alpha. The monthly composites are composited quarterly and sent to a vendor for Sr-89/90 and Fe-55 analyses. The discharge bay is sampled every 31 days and analyzed by gamma isotopic for tritium and gross alpha. It is sampled quarterly and sent to a vendor for Sr-89/90 and Fe-55 analysis. On a real time basis, the portion of the "percent of applicable limit" for these contributors is based on projections using scaling factors. The actual results are obtained by editing the ODCM software inputs when the vendor results become available.

Therefore, the "percent of applicable limits" in this report are actual.

Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2012 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report Supplemental Information The tank volumes and activities are used to calculate the curies released for the River Discharge Tank. The total water released during the quarter and the activity is used to calculate the diluted activity released at the discharge bay, from batch discharges.

f. Estimated Total Error Percent The estimated total error percents were calculated by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of errors for sampling and measurement parameters.

g. Less than the Lower Limit of Detection (<LLD)

Samples are analyzed such that the Technical Specification LLD requirements are met. When a nuclide is not detected during the quarter, then <LLD is reported. The most conservative LLD's used for counting effluent samples are included in this report.

a. Liquid A leak into the 1A RHR (Residual Heat Removal) heat exchanger, service water side, developed in May 2011. This leak has been subsequently repaired during Q1 R22 in March of 2013. This produced a monitored liquid effluent release via the continuous liquid release pathway each time that the "A"loop of the Unit-1 RHR system was started. The activity identified from the leak was included in the monthly effluent calculations and is included in the "continuous" liquid section of this report. A temporary modification to pressurize the service water side of the affected heat exchanger was installed in September 2011, which significantly reduced the leakage rate.

The resultant estimated releases of Carbon-14 resulted in a dose contribution of 3.71 E-02 mrem/yr to organ dose (17.9%) and 3.96E-02 mrem/yr to total dose (91.7%). The maximum expected annual dose contribution from Carbon-14 has been calculated to be 2.08E-01 mrem/yr organ dose and 4.15E-02 mrem/yr total body dose. This was obtained using maximum gross thermal capacity maintained for 365 days for both units.

c. Uranium Fuel Cycle Dose to a Member of the Public for 2012 (40CFR1 90)

The main component (7.74 mrem or 99.5%) of the Uranium Fuel Cycle dose for Quad Cities Station is BWR skyshine from N-16 within the turbine building.

BWR skyshine at Quad Cities Station is conservatively determined to the hypothetical maximally exposed member of the public.

Total Body: 7.78E+00 mrem (Skyshine + Total Body component of gaseous and liquid effluents) 31.1% of 40 CFR 190 Limit of 25 mrem/year (Whole Body and Organ).

Thyroid dose of 2.76E-01% of 40 CFR 190 Limit (75 mrem).

Attachment 2 RW-AA-100, Revision 8, Process Control Program for Radioactive Wastes

RW-AA-100 Revision 8 Page 1 of 9 Nuclear Level 3 - Information Use PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTES

1. PURPOSE 1.1. The purpose of the Process Control Program (PCP) is to:

1.1.1. Establish the process and boundary conditions for the preparation of specific procedures for processing, sampling, analysis, packaging, storage, and shipment of solid radwaste in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements. (CM-1) 1.1.2. Establish parameters which will provide reasonable assurance that all Low Level Radioactive Wastes (LLRW), processed by the in-plant waste process systems on-site OR by on-site vendor supplied waste processing systems, meet the acceptance criteria to a Licensed Burial Facility, as required by 10CFR Part 20, 10CFR Part 61, 10CFR Part 71, 49CFR Parts 171-172, "Technical Position on Waste Form (Revision 1)" [1/91], "Low-Level Waste Licensing Branch Technical Position on Radioactive Waste Classification" [5/83], and the Station Technical Specifications, as applicable.

1.1.3. Provide reasonable assurance that waste placed in "on-site storage" meets the requirements as addressed within the Safety Analysis Reports for the low level radwaste storage facilities for dry and/or processed wet waste.

2. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS 2.1. Process Control Program (PCP): The program which contains the current formulas, sampling, analysis, tests, and determinations to be made to ensure that processing and packaging of solid radioactive waste based on demonstrated processing of actual or simulated wet solid wastes will be accomplished in such a way as to assure the waste meets the stabilization criteria specified in 10CFR Parts 20, 61 and 71, state regulations, and burial site requirements.

2.2. Solidification

Liquid waste processed to either an unstable or stable form per 10CFR61 requirements. Waste solidified does not have to meet the 300-year free standing monolith criteria. Approved formulas, samples and tests do not have to meet NRC approval for wastes solidified in a container meeting stability criteria (e.g.

High Integrity Container).

2.3. Stabilization

Liquid waste processed to a "stable state" per 10CFR61 Requirements. Established formulas, samples, and tests shall be approved by the NRC in order to meet solidification "stabilization" criteria. This processing method is currently not available, because the NRC recognizes that waste packed in a High Integrity Container meets the 300-year stabilization criteria. In the event that this processing method becomes an acceptable method, then the NRC shall approve the stabilization formulas, samples, tests, etc.

RW-AA-100 Revision 8 Page 2 of 9 2.4. Solidification Media: An approved media (e.g. Barnwell - vinyl ester styrene, cement, bitumen) when waste containing nuclides with greater than 5-year half lives is solidified in a container with activity greater than 1 micro curie/cc. Waste solidified in a HIC is approved by the commission meeting the 10CFR61 stabilization criteria, including 1% free standing liquids by volume when the waste is packaged to a "stable" form and < 0.5% when waste is packaged to an "unstable" form. The formulas, sampling, analysis, and test do not require NRC approval, because the HIC meets the stability criteria.

2.4.1. Solidification to an unstable or stable state is performed by vendors, when applicable. Liquid waste solidified to meet stabilization criteria (10CFR61 and 01-91 Branch Technical Requirements) shall have documentation available that demonstrates that the process is approved by the NRC or disposal facility.

2.5. Dewatering

The process of removing fluids from liquid waste streams to produce a waste form that meets the requirements of 10CFR Part 61 and applicable burial site criteria, <0.5% by volume when the waste is packaged to an "unstable" state, or

<1% by volume when the waste is packaged to a "stable" form.

2.6. High Integrity Container (HIC): A disposable container that is approved to the Requirements of 10CFR61. The use of HIC's is an alternative to solidification or encapsulation in a steel container to meet burial stability. HIC's are used to package dewatered liquid wastes, (e.g. filter cartridges, filter media, resin, sludges, etc), or dry active waste.

2.7. Encapsulation

The process of placing a component (e.g. cartridge filters or mechanical components) into a special purpose disposable container and then completely surrounding the waste material with an approved stabilization media, such as cement.

2.8. Liquid Waste Processing Systems: In-plant or vendor supplied processing systems consisting of equipment utilized for evaporation, filtration, demineralization, dewatering, compression dewatering, solidification, or reverse osmosis (RO) for the treatment of liquid wastes (such as Floor Drains, Chemical Drains and Equipment Drain inputs).

2.9. Incineration, RVR, and/or Glass Vitrification of Liquid or Solid: Dry or wet waste processed via incineration and/or thermal processing where the volume is reduced by thermal means meets 10CFR61 requirements.

2.10. Compaction: When dry wastes such as paper, wood, plastic, cardboard, incinerator ash, and etc. are volume reduced through the use of a compactor.

2.11. Waste Streams: Consist of but are not limited to

- Filter media (powdered, bead resin and fiber),

- Filter cartridges,

- Pre-coat body feed material,

- Contaminated charcoal,

RW-AA-100 Revision 8 Page 3 of 9

- Fuel pool activated hardware,

- Oil Dry absorbent material added to a container to absorb liquids

- Fuel Pool Crud

- Sump and tank sludges,

- High activity filter cartridges,

- Concentrated liquids,

- Contaminated waste oil,

- Dried sewage or wastewater plant waste,

- Dry Active Waste (DAW): Waste such as filters, air filters, low activity cartridge filters, paper, wood, glass, plastic, cardboard, hoses, cloth, and metals, etc, which have become contaminated as a consequence of normal operating, housekeeping and maintenance activities.

Other radioactive waste generated from cleanup of inadvertent contamination.

3. RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1. Implementation of this Process Control Program (PCP) is described in procedures at each station and is the responsibility of the each site to implement.
