Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2014 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-137, iodine-131, strontium-90, and cobalt-60. Radiation dose 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.
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 2014 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report Supplemental Information 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 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 Off site 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 pCi/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 are as follows:
9.64E-01 MeV for Quarter 1 9.69E-01 MeV for Quarter 2 9.70E-01 MeV for Quarter 3 9.67E-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.

Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2014 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 or reactor building release each month if applicable. 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 2.84E+01 Ci of Carbon-14 and the resultant 2.84E+01 Ci 14C02 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. 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.
- e. Liquid Effluents River Discharge Tanks, when performed, are analyzed prior to 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, Fe-55, and Ni-63 analyses. The discharge bay is sampled every 31 days and analyzed for gamma by isotopic, for tritium and for gross alpha. It is sampled quarterly and sent to a vendor for Sr-89/90, Fe-55, and Ni-63 analysis. On a real time basis, the portion of the "percent of applicable limit" for these contributors is based on projections using scaling factors.

Attachment 2 RW-AA-1 00, Revision 10, Process Control Program for Radioactive Wastes
RW-AA-100 A ExeLon Generation Revision 10 Page 1 of 12 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 10 Page 2 of 12 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. 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).
2.8. Incineration, RVR, andlor 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.
2.9. Compaction
When dry wastes such as paper, wood, plastic, cardboard, incinerator ash, and etc. are volume reduced through the use of a compactor.
RW-AA-100 Revision 10 Page 3 of 12 2.10. 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,
- 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.
2.11. Concentration Averaging: Concentration averaging is either: a) the mathematical averaging of waste concentrations, based on the size, geometry, type of radioactive emission, and observed dose rates, or b) the combining of radioactive components in a single container and how their radioactivity may be averaged over the volume of the container. Concentration averaging is subject to constraints identified in the NRC's Branch Technical Position on Concentration Averaging and Encapsulation and may also be constrained by Agreement States or Disposal Facilities.
2.12. Encapsulation: Encapsulation is the surrounding of a radioactive source or component with a nonradioactive material. Encapsulation involves a radioactive core surrounded by a non-radioactive matrix.
2.13. Blending: The intentional mixing of different, but miscible waste streams (such as resins, filter media, etc.) from different batches or systems for the purpose of operational efficiency or ALARA. Blending applies to LLRW streams only. The addition of non-radioactive materials or fillers is not considered blending.
- 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.

RW-AA-100 Revision 10 Page 7 of 12 4.2.13. Concentration averaging may be PERFORMED to combine LLRW having different concentrations of radionuclides to form a homogeneous mixture in accordance with the guidance in the NRC's Branch Technical Position on Concentration Averaging and Encapsulation-1995:
- For homogeneous waste types such as resins and filter media, the concentration of the mixture for classification purposes may be based on either the highest radionuclide concentration in any of the individual waste types contributing to the mixture or the volumetric or weight-averaged nuclide concentrations in the mixture provided that the concentrations of the individual waste type contributors to the mixture are within a factor of 10 of the average concentration of the resulting mixture. (NOTE: a designed collection of homogeneous waste types (from different sources within a facility) is not considered 'mixing' and the concentration for classification purposes may be the average concentration of the combination).
- For non-homogeneous waste types such as activated metals, cartridge filters or components incorporating radioactivity in their design, the concentration should be determined from the total weight or displaced volume (excluding major void spaces) of the component. Mixtures of components in a disposal container is permissible. Concentration averaging of a mixture of components of similar types can be performed in accordance with the NRC's Branch Technical Position on Concentration Averaging and Encapsulation and any State or Disposal Site specific requirements.
4.2.14. Blending may be PERFORMED for routine LLRW such as resins and filter media in accordance with the guidance in the NRC's Branch Technical Position on Concentration Averaging and Encapsulation as further clarified in SECY 2010-0043.
The concentration of the mixture may be determined based on the total activity of all components in the mixture divided by the total volume or mass of the mixture.
Reasonable effort should be made to mix blended LLRW so that activity is evenly distributed.
4.2.15. Encapsulation may be PERFORMED for routine wastes such as filters, filter cartridges, or sealed sources centered in an encapsulated mass, in accordance with the guidance in the NRC's Branch Technical Position on Concentration Averaging and Encapsulation. Classification may be based on the overall volume of the final solidified mass provided that;
- The minimum solidified volume or mass should be reasonably difficult to move by hand.
- The maximum solidified volume or mass used for determining concentration for any single discrete source should be no more than 0.2 m3 or 500Kg (typically 55-gallon drum).
- The maximum amount of gamma-emitting radioactivity or radioactive material is <0.02 mrem/hr on the surface of the encapsulation over a 500-year decay period.
RW-AA-100 Revision 10 Page 8 of 12 The maximum amount of any radionuclide in a single encapsulation, when averaged over the waste and encapsulating media, does not exceed the maximum concentration limits for Class C waste.
Written procedures should be established to ensure that the radiation source(s) is reasonably centered (or distributed) within the encapsulating media.
All other disposal facility requirements for encapsulated material are met.
4.3. Burial Site Requirements 4.3.1. Waste sent directly to burial shall COMPLY with the applicable parts of 49CFR171-172, 10CFR61, 10CFR71, and the acceptance criteria for the applicable burial site.
4.4. Shipping and Inspection Requirements 4.4.1. All shipping/storage containers shall be INSPECTED, as required by station procedures, for compliance with applicable requirements (Department of Transportation (DOT), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), station, on-site storage, and/or burial site requirements) prior to use.
4.4.2. Containers of solidified liquid waste shall be INSPECTED for solidification quality and/or dewatering requirements per the burial site, offsite vendor acceptance, or station acceptance criteria, as applicable.
4.4.3. Shipments sent to an off site processor shall be INSPECTED to ensure that the applicable processor's waste acceptance criteria are being met.
4.4.4. Shipments sent for off site storage shall MEET the storage site's waste acceptance criteria.
4.5. Inspection and Corrective Action 4.5.1. Inspection results that indicate non-compliance with applicable NRC, State, vendor, or site requirements shall be IDENTIFIED and TRACKED through the Corrective Action Program.
4.5.2. Administrative controls for preventing unsatisfactory waste forms from being released for shipment are described in applicable station procedures. If the provisions of the Process Control Program are not satisfied, then SUSPEND shipments of defectively packaged radioactive waste from the site. (CM-1) 4.5.3. If freestanding water or solidification not meeting program requirements is observed, then samples of the particular series of batches shall be TAKEN to determine the cause. Additional samples shall be TAKEN, as warranted, to ensure that no freestanding water is present and solidification requirements are maintained.
RW-AA-100 Revision 10 Page 9 of 12 4.6. Procedure and Process Reviews 4.6.1. The Exelon Nuclear Process Control Program and subsequent changes (other than editorial/minor changes) shall be REVIEWED and APPROVED in accordance with the station procedures, plant-specific Technical Specifications (Tech Spec),
Technical Requirements Manual (T&RM), Operation Requirements Manual (ORM),
as applicable, for the respective station and LS-AA-1 06. Changes to the Licensees Controlled Documents, UFSAR, ORM, or TRM are controlled by the provisions of 10CFR 50.59.
4.6.2. Any changes to the PCP shall be reviewed to determine if reportability is required in the Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report (ARERR). The Radwaste Specialist shall ensure correct information is SUBMITTED to the ODCM program owner prior to submittal of the ARERR.
4.6.3. Procedures shall be IMPLEMENTED as follows:
- Station processes or other vendor waste processing/operating procedures shall be technically reviewed and approved per RM-AA-102-1006.
- Procedures related to waste manifests, shipment inspections, and container activity determinations are CONTROLLED by Radiation Protection Standard Procedures (RP-AA-600 Series).
- Site waste processing IS CONTROLLED by site operating procedures.
- Liquid processed by vendor equipment shall be PERFORMED in accordance with vendor procedures.
- The dewatering procedures implemented by Vendor for the purpose of compliance to the Process Control Program SHALL BE REVIEWED and APPROVED in accordance with the plant specific TRM or ORM (either Current Technical Specifications (CTS) or Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), as applicable for the respective stations).
4.7. Waste Types, Point of Generation, and Processing Method Methods of processing and individual vendors may CHANGE due to changing financial and regulatory options. The table below is a representative sample. It is not intended be all encompassing.
