Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2015 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 2015 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.

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 1 OCFR20 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 MPG values used for the monitors were as follows:
Radwaste discharge 3.07E-06 µCi/ml Service water 1.00E-05 µCi/ml The allowable release limits for tritium and dissolved & entrained noble gases are as follows:
Tritium : 3.00E-03 uCi/mL taken from Reg Guide 1.21 Dissolved & Entrained noble gases: 2.00E-04 uCi/mL taken from NUREG 1302

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 14of77
Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2015 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 5.1 OE+OO 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 mr~m/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.

Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2015 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 2015 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.

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 1 OCFR20 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 MPG values used for the monitors were as follows:
Radwaste discharge 3.07E-06 µCi/ml Service water 1.00E-05 µCi/ml The allowable release limits for tritium and dissolved & entrained noble gases are as follows:
Tritium : 3.00E-03 uCi/mL taken from Reg Guide 1.21 Dissolved & Entrained noble gases: 2.00E-04 uCi/mL taken from NUREG 1302

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 14of77
Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2015 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 5.1 OE+OO 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 mr~m/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.
