1.0 INTRODUCTION
Waterford 3 is a single unit Combustion Engineering nuclear steam supply plant. Both liquid and gaseous effluents are released in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). The Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report is submitted as required by Waterford 3 Technical Specification 6.9.1.8. It covers the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, where the plant had an average power level of 74.2%.
Information in this report is presented in the format outlined in Appendix B of Regulatory Guide 1.21 and in Section 5.8.1 of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (UNT-005-014).

Plant: Waterford 3 Year: 2019 Page 4 of 43 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report 2.0 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 2.1 Regulatory Limits The ODCM (by reference) and the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) (directly) contain the limits to which Waterford 3 must adhere. Because of the "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA) philosophy at Waterford 3, actions are taken to reduce the amount of radiation released to the environment. Liquid and gaseous release data show that the dose from Waterford 3 is considerably below the ODCM/TRM limits. This data reveals that the radioactive effluents have an overall minimal dose contribution to the surrounding environment. The following are the limits required by the ODCM:
- 1. Fission and activation gases:
- a. Noble gases dose rate due to radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents from the areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to the following:
Less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the total body Less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin
- b. Noble gas air dose due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to the following:
- 1) Quarterly Less than or equal to 5 mrads gamma Less than or equal to 10 mrads beta
- 2) Yearly Less than or equal to 10 mrads gamma Less than or equal to 20 mrads beta
- a. The dose rate for Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days in gaseous effluents released to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to the following:
Less than or equal to 1500 mrem/yr to any organ
- b. The dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from Iodine-131, Iodine-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days in gaseous effluents released to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to the following:
- 1) Quarterly Less than or equal to 7.5 mrem to any organ
- 2) Yearly Less than or equal to 15 mrem to any organ
Plant: Waterford 3 Year: 2019 Page 5 of 43 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report
- 3. Liquid Effluents Dose
- a. The dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released to unrestricted areas shall be limited to the following:
- 1) Quarterly Less than or equal to 1.5 mrem total body Less than or equal to 5 mrem any organ
- 2) Yearly Less than or equal to 3 mrem total body Less than or equal to 10 mrem any organ
- 4. Total Dose (40CFR190)
- a. The annual dose or dose commitment to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources shall be limited to the following:
Less than or equal to 25 mrem, Total Body or any Organ except Thyroid.
Less than or equal to 75 mrem, Thyroid 2.2 Maximum Permissible Concentrations
- 1. Fission & Activation Gases, Iodines, and Particulates with Half Lives > Eight (8) Days For gaseous effluents, maximum permissible concentrations are not directly used in release rate calculations since the applicable limits are expressed in terms of dose rate at the site boundary.
- 2. Liquid Effluents The concentration of radioactive material released from the site to unrestricted areas shall be limited to ten times the concentration specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases.
For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the total concentration released shall be limited to 2.0E-4 microcuries/ml.
2.3 Average Energy
- 1. This is not applicable to Waterford 3 effluent specifications. E-Bar is not required to be calculated from effluent release data. The average energy (E-Bar) for the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is supplied as additional information in the report further below.
Plant: Waterford 3 Year: 2019 Page 6 of 43 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report 2.4 Measurements & Approximations of Total Radioactivity
- 1. The quantification of radioactivity in liquid and gaseous effluents was accomplished by performing the sampling and radiological analysis of effluents in accordance with the requirements of Tables 4.11-1 and 4.11-2 of the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM).
- a. Fission & activation gases For continuous releases, a gas grab sample was analyzed at least monthly for noble gases using gamma spectroscopy. Each week a Gas Ratio (GR) was calculated according to the following equation:
Average Weekly Noble Gas Monitor Reading GR Monitor Reading During Noble Gas Sampling The monthly sample analysis and weekly Gas Ratio were then used to determine noble gases discharged continuously for the previous week. For gas decay tank and containment purge batch releases, a gas grab sample was analyzed prior to release to determine noble gas concentrations in the batch. In all cases, the total radioactivity in gaseous effluents was determined from measured concentrations of each radionuclide present and the total volume discharged
- b. Iodines and Particulates Iodines and particulates discharged were sampled using a continuous sampler which contained a charcoal cartridge and a particulate filter. Each week the charcoal cartridge and particulate filter were analyzed for gamma emitters using gamma spectroscopy. The determined radionuclide concentrations and effluent volumes discharged were used to calculate the previous week's activity released.
The particulate samples were composited and analyzed quarterly for Sr-89 and Sr-90 by a contract laboratory (Teledyne Brown Engineering). Particulate gross alpha activity was measured weekly using gas-flow proportional counting techniques. The determined activities were used to estimate effluent concentrations in subsequent releases until the next scheduled analysis was performed.
- c. Tritium Tritium is collected by passing a known volume of the sample stream through a bubbler. The collected samples are analyzed by liquid scintillation. Grab samples of continuous releases were analyzed at least monthly, and containment purge batch releases are analyzed prior to release. The determined concentrations were used to estimate tritium activity in subsequent releases until the next scheduled analysis was performed.
- d. Carbon-14 Carbon-14 release rates were estimated using the annual Carbon-14 production rate obtained from the Waterford 3 Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), a gaseous release fraction of 98%, a Carbon-14 carbon dioxide fraction of 30%,
and 292 days equivalent full power operation. Release of Carbon-14 was assumed to be continuous. The default Carbon-14 release from the FSAR for 80% full power days was used instead of 74.2% to impart conservatism.
Plant: Waterford 3 Year: 2019 Page 7 of 43 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report
- e. Liquid Effluents For continuous releases, samples were collected weekly and analyzed using gamma spectroscopy. The measured concentrations were used to determine radionuclide concentrations in the following weeks releases. For batch releases, gamma analysis was performed on the sample prior to release.
For both continuous and batch releases, composite samples were analyzed quarterly by a contract laboratory (Teledyne Brown Engineering) for Sr-89, Sr-90, and Fe-55. Samples were composited and analyzed monthly for tritium and gross alpha using liquid scintillation and gas flow proportional counting techniques, respectively. For radionuclides measured in the composite samples, the measured concentrations in the composite samples from the previous month or quarter were used to estimate released quantities of these isotopes in liquid effluents during the current month or quarter when the analysis results became available.
The total radioactivity in liquid effluent releases was determined from the measured and estimated concentrations of each radionuclide present and the total volume of the effluent discharged.
- f. Estimated Total Error Present Estimates of measurement and analytical error for gaseous and liquid effluents are calculated (bound by a conservative estimate of 25%) as follows:
Where: Er = total percent error E1 ... En = percent error due to calibration standards, Laboratory analysis, instruments, sample flow, etc.

Plant: Waterford 3 Year: 2019 Page 9 of 43 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report 2.9 Land Use Census Changes A land use census was last performed in 2018. The land use census performed in 2018 did not identify the need for any changes to locations being used for effluent dose calculations or radiological environmental sampling.
2.10 Effluent Monitor Instrument Inoperability Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) Specifications 3.3.3.10 and 3.3.3.11 require reporting in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report of why designated inoperable effluent monitoring instrumentation was not restored to operability within the time specified in the Action Statement.
Gaseous Waste System (GWM) Radiation Monitor (PRMIRE0648)
Time Required by Specifications to Restore Operability: 30 Days Period of Inoperability: 11/18/2018 to 2/14/2019 (88 Days) and 7/26/2019 to present (> 269 days)
Batch releases performed with monitor out of services: (1) 1/13/2019 13:13 to 1/16/2019 12:38 (71 hours8.217593e-4 days <br />0.0197 hours <br />1.173942e-4 weeks <br />2.70155e-5 months <br />)
Cause of Inoperability: The radiation monitor was declared out of services while attempting to discharge a Gas Decay Tank on 11/14/2018 because proper sample flow (2.0 scfm) could not be established. Sample flow would rise to 1.8 scfm upon discharge, however sample pump would trip due to inadequate flow.
Reason Operability Not Restored Within Allotted Time: Following troubleshooting the radiation monitor sample pump was verified functional on 1/27/2019. However, on 1/15/2019 a scheduled electrical bus outage during Refuel 22 caused a communication loop fault which extended the time to fully restore the radiation monitor. Radiation monitor functional tests were performed satisfactorily during the period of inoperability, and ACTION requirements of TRM table 3.3-13 were implemented during release of the Gas Decay Tanks of 1/13/2019 to 1/16/2019. On 7/26/2019, the radiation monitor exhibited an Operate Failure locked in due to flow issues. No releases have occurred during this period of inoperability.
Steam Generator Blowdown Continuous Composite Sampler (BD MVAAA 30313)
Time Required by Specifications to Restore Operability: 30 Days Period of Inoperability: 1/18/2018 to 11/5/2019 (656 days)
Batch releases performed with monitor out of services: 24.85 hours9.837963e-4 days <br />0.0236 hours <br />1.405423e-4 weeks <br />3.23425e-5 months <br /> total 1/6/2019 01:09 to 1/6/2019 05:49 (280 minutes) 1/6/2019 09:59 to 1/6/2019 15:58 (359 minutes) 1/6/2019 20:56 to 1/7/2019 00:10 (194 minutes) 1/28/2019 05:24 to 1/28/2019 09:02 (218 minutes)
Cause of Inoperability: A 60 dpm leak was discovered downstream of BD MVAAA30313, Blowdown Proportional Sample Valve, and it was assumed that the valve must be leaking by its closed seat and therefore unreliable with regard to providing the required sample volume when the BD Composite Sampler is placed in service.
Reason Operability Not Restored Within Allotted Time: The reason that the sampler was not repaired was because the sample valve was obsolete and could not be replaced. However, further assessment of the sampler revealed that functional tests were satisfactory, and the monitor was still capable of delivering a proportional sample. The ACTION requirements of TRM table 3.3-12 were implemented during releases from Steam Generator Blowdown during the equipment unavailability period.

Plant: Waterford 3 Year: 2019 Page 12 of 43 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report 2.14 Unprotected Outside Storage Tank Radioactivity Limit
- 1. Technical Specification 3/4.11.2.6 specifies that the quantity of radioactivity contained in each unprotected outdoor storage tank be maintained less than or equal to 7.85E-04 Curies (excluding tritium and dissolved and entrained noble gases). At no time during the reporting period was this value exceeded.
2.15 Gaseous Storage Tank Total Radioactivity Limit
- 1. Technical Specification 3/4.11.2.6 specifies that the quantity of radioactivity contained in each gas storage tank be maintained less than or equal to 8.5E+04 Curies noble gas (considered as Xe-133 equivalent). At no time during the reporting period was this value exceeded.
2.16 Errata/Corrections to Previous ARERRs
- 1. It was discovered on 3/15/2020 that windspeed direction in section 7.1 was incorrect.
Windspeed direction in Tables 14-20, on the 2018 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, states NWN but should read of WNW. The affected pages in their entirety are in Attachment 3 of this report.
- 2. It was discovered on 4/17/2020 that information regarding radiation monitor inoperability was omitted from the 2018 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. The following should have been included in Section 2.10:
Gaseous Waste System (GWM) Radiation Monitor (PRMIRE0648)
Time Required by Specifications to Restore Operability: 30 Days Period of Inoperability: 11/18/2018 to 2/14/2019 (88 Days)
Batch releases performed with monitor out of services: (1) 12/20/2018 16:11 to 12/22/2018 16:34 (32 hours3.703704e-4 days <br />0.00889 hours <br />5.291005e-5 weeks <br />1.2176e-5 months <br />)
Cause of Inoperability: The radiation monitor was declared out of services while attempting to discharge a Gas Decay Tank on 11/14/2018 because proper sample flow (2.0 scfm) could not be established. Sample flow would rise to 1.8 scfm upon discharge, however sample pump would trip due to inadequate flow.
Reason Operability Not Restored Within Allotted Time: A radiation monitor functional check was performed on 12/8/2018 with satisfactory results. However, the ACTION requirements of TRM 3.3-13 were implemented during release of Gas Decay Tank C from 12/20/2018 to 12/22/2018.
The affected pages in their entirety are in Attachment 3 of this report.
Plant: Waterford 3 Year: 2019 Page 13 of 43 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report 2.17 Other Information
- 1. Unavailability of REMP Milk Samples Due to the unavailability of three milk sampling locations within five kilometers of the plant, Broad Leaf sampling is performed in accordance with Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) Table 3.12-1. Milk is collected, when available, from the control location and one identified sampling location as indicated in UNT-005-014, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, Attachment 7.13.
- 2. Activity Released Via Secondary Pathways The following secondary release paths were continuously monitored for radioactivity:
The Hot Machine Shop Exhaust (AH-35),
Decontamination Shop Exhaust (AH-34),
The RAB H&V Equipment Room Ventilation System Exhaust (E-41A and E-41B);
and, The Switchgear/Cable Vault Area Ventilation System (AH-25).
Continuous sampling for these areas is maintained to demonstrate the operability of installed treatment systems and to verify integrity of barriers separating primary and secondary ventilation systems. Sampling for these areas was limited to continuous particulate and iodine sampling and monthly noble gas grab sampling. The activity released via these secondary pathways resulted from routine operations and remained below significant levels.
- 3. Missed Effluent Samples Per TRM Section 4.11, continuous charcoal cartridge and particulate sample is required weekly. Samples shall be changed at least once per seven days and analyses shall be completed within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after changing or removal from sampler.
Plant Stack A and B particulate and charcoal samples were collected on 4/30/2019 (for week of 4/23/2019 - 4/30/2019), and only Plant Stack B was analyzed on 4/30/19. On 5/2/2019, it was discovered that Plant Stack B rad monitor did not have flow due to particulate pump replacement work until 4/26/2019; Plant Stack A did have flow the entire time period. The analysis for Plant Stack A (removed from sampler on 4/30/2019 at 11:21) was completed on 5/2/2019 12:38, 49.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> after being removed from the sampler vice the required 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />. Both samples had no detectable activity. Minimum detectable activities were less the required LLDs per TRM.
- 4. Reactor Coolant System Average Energy (E-Bar)
Reactor Coolant System E-Bar calculations were performed on 7/14/2019 and 12/15/2019 with values of 0.0651 and 0.0257 Mev/disintegration, respectively. Reactor Coolant System E-Bar is supplied for information only and is not used for effluent dose calculations.

Plant: Waterford 3 Year: 2019 Page 23 of 43 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report 6.2 Dose to Members of the Public Inside the Site Boundary The Member of the Public inside the site boundary expected to have the maximum exposure due to gaseous effluents would be an employee at the Waterford 1 and 2 fossil fuel plants, located in the NW sector at a distance of approximately 670 meters (0.42 miles) from the reactor building.
The doses for such an individual were determined by scaling the full-time occupancy doses due to airborne effluents by the occupancy time due to a normal working year. Based on an assumed occupancy of 25% (40-hour work week) and the fact that all employees are adults, the calculated doses were determined to be 5.85E-03 mrem to the skin 2.19 E-03 mrem to the maximum exposed organ (Lung) 6.19E-03 mrem to the Total Body All doses for receptors inside the site boundary were calculated according to the methodology described in the Waterford 3 Offsite Dose Calculation Manual considering only the inhalation and ground plane exposure pathways.
6.3 Dose to a Member of the Public due to Release of Radioactive Material in Groundwater There were no releases of radioactive material in groundwater during the reporting period; therefore, there was no additional dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC associated with off-site releases of licensed radioactive material via groundwater.
