INTRODUCTION This Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) for the period of January 1 through December 31, 2008 is submitted in accordance with Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), Section 5.6.3 of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) License No. NPF-29.
The monitoring of radioactive effluents is referenced in ODCM Appendix A, Sections 6.11 and 6.12.
Airborne discharges at GGNS are considered ground-level releases. All liquid and airborne discharges to the environment were analyzed in accordance with ODCM requirements. All effluent releases were within the concentration and total release limits specified by the ODCM. Projected offsite doses were within the dose limits specified by the ODCM.
The summation of all gaseous releases during the reporting period is given in Table 1A, while elevated releases and ground-level releases are given in Tables 1 B and 1C, respectively. Table 1 D describes the radioactive gaseous sampling and analysis program implemented at GGNS.
The summation of all liquid releases during the reporting period is given in Table 2A, while continuous and batch mode releases are given in Table 2B. Table 2C describes the radioactive liquid waste sampling and analysis program implemented at GGNS.
Solid radioactive waste and irradiated fuel shipments during the reporting period are summarized in Table 3.
The annual summary of meteorological data (joint frequency distribution) will be maintained on site in a file that shall be provided to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) upon request. The option to maintain meteorological data on site is in accordance with ODCM Administrative Controls Section 5.6.3.

II.       DETAILED INFORMATION (CONT'D)
D.        Measurements and Approximations of Total Activity The following discussion details the methods used to measure and approximate total activity for the following:
Fission and Activation Gases           Particulates Radioiodines                           Liquid Effluents Tables 1 D and 2C give sampling frequencies and minimum detectable sensitivity requirements for the analysis of gaseous and liquid effluent streams, respectively.
Values in the attached tables given as zero do not necessarily imply that the radionuclides were not present. A zero indicates that the radionuclide was not present at levels greater than the sensitivity requirements shown in Tables ID and 2C. For some radionuclides, lower detection limits than required may be readily achievable; when a radionuclide is measured below its stated detection limits, it is reported.
1,    For Fission and Activation Gases The following noble gases are considered in evaluating gaseous airborne discharges:
I  lr-7 Kr-88 X-133 Xe-1 33m IXe-I3I Xe-138 Periodic grab samples from Station effluent streams are analyzed by a computerized pulse height analyzer system utilizing high-resolution germanium detectors. (See Table 1D for sampling and analytical requirements.) Isotopic values thus obtained are used for dose release rate calculations due to, effluent releases as given in Section II.A.I. of this report. Only those radionuclides that are detected are used in this computation. During the period between grab samples, the amount of radioactivity released is based on the effluent monitor readings. Monitors are assigned a calibration factor based upon the last isotopic analysis, using the following relationship:
Ci= U     m where C  =  isotopic calibration factor for isotope i U1 = concentration of isotope i in the grab sample in pCi/ml.
m = net monitor reading associated with the effluent stream (determined at the time of grab sampling).
env-tecIARERROI - 8

II.       DETAILED INFORMATION (CONT'D)
These calibration factors, along with the hourly effluent monitor values and flow rates, are entered into the laboratory computer where the release rates for individual radionuclides are calculated and stored. If no activity is detected in the grab sample, the calibration factor defaults to a historical mixture of Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-135m, Xe-135, and Xe-138.
: 2. For Particulates and Radioiodines The radioiodines and radioactive materials in particulate form to be considered are:
Zn-65       1-133 Mn-54      Cs-1 34 Fe-59      Cs-1 37 Co-58     Ce-1 41 Co-60     Ce-1 44 Sr-89       1-131 Sr-990   __          _-
Other radionuclides with half lives greater than 8 day
: 3. For Continuous Releases Continuous sampling is performed on the continuous release points (i.e.,
Offgas/Radwaste Building Vent, Containment Purge, Fuel Handling Area Vent, Turbine Building Vent). Particulate material is collected by filtration.
Radioiodines are collected by adsorption onto a charcoal filter. Periodically these filters are removed and analyzed on the pulse height analyzer to identify and quantify radioactive materials collected on the filters. Particulate filters are then analyzed for gross alpha and Strontium-89 and -90 as required. Gross alpha determinations are made using 2-pi gas flow proportional counter. Strontium-89 and -90 values are obtained by chemical separation and subsequent analysis using liquid scintillation techniques. Tritium concentrations are determined using distillation and liquid scintillation techniques. During major operational .
occurrences, the frequency of sampling is increased to satisfy the requirements of footnote "c" of Table 1 D, "Radioactive Gaseous Waste Sampling and Analysis,"
(GGNS ODCM Appendix A, Table 6.11.4-1). Currently, Strontium analysis is performed by a qualified contract laboratory.
: 4. For Batch Releases: Gases The processing of batch type releases (from Containment Purge or Turbine Building Occasional Release Point) are analogous to that for continuous releases.
env-tec/ARERR01 - 9

II.       DETAILED INFORMATION (CONT'D)
: 5. For Batch Releases: Liquid Effluents The radionuclides listed below are considered when evaluating liquid effluents:
H-3       Sr-90 Mn-54      Mo-99 Fe-55      1-131 Co-58    Cs-1 34 Co-60    Cs-I37 Fe-59    Ce-1 41 Zn-65    Ce-1 44 Sr-89 Representative pre-release grab samples are obtained and analyzed as required by Table 2C. Isotopic analyses are performed using the computerized pulse height analysis system previously described. Aliquots of each pre-released sample, proportional to the waste volume released, are composited in accordance with the requirements of Table 2C. Strontium-89, 90 and Iron-55 values are obtained by chemical separation and counting the separated strontium and iron using liquid scintillation techniques. Gross alpha determinations are made using 2-pi gas flow proportional counter. Tritium is determined using distillation and liquid scintillation techniques. Dissolved gases are determined employing grab sampling techniques and then counting on the pulse height analyzer system. Currently, Iron and Strontium analyses are performed by a qualified contract laboratory.

Measurement errors include uncertainty associated with instrument calibration and the preparation and counting of low-activity samples. Counting errors are based on measurements of blank samples and, for germanium detectors, the least-readily-detectable radioisotope.
Calibration errors are calculated by summing the errors associated with the calibration of a particular instrument with a radioactive source.
Total error is calculated by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the individual errors.

Ill.      RADIATION DOSE 

==SUMMARY==

Indicated below is the annual summary of offsite doses attributable to GGNS during 2008.
Inspection of the values indicate that GGNS releases were within the I OCFR50, Appendix I design objectives.
Since there are no other fuel cycle facilities within 8 km of GGNS, 40CFR1 90 limits have also been met during this period.
All parameters listed were calculated in accordance with the GGNS ODCM.

Airborne-Related Exposure Pathways The values presented in this section utilize information provided in Tables 1A and 1C of this report and the calculational methodology of the ODCM. Dose and dose rates are computed for locations at the site boundary or at unrestricted areas beyond the site boundary. Because members of the public may, on occasion, be found within the site boundary, locations within the site boundary were considered when selecting locations for dose calculations.
Consideration of site boundary locations as well as unrestricted areas within and beyond the site boundary provides assurance that offsite doses will not be substantially underestimated while attempting to provide an accurate dose calculation.
The most limiting location for a member of the public is used for the dose calculations.
During routine operations the dispersion and deposition factors used for dose calculations are from historical annual average meteorological data.

==SUMMARY==
(CONT'D)
Organ Dose The maximum organ dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC (critical receptor) from radioiodines, tritium and particulates was calculated for this report using the most recent land use census and dispersion and deposition parameters from 2008 meteorological data. The critical receptor residence was determined to be located in the southwest sector at a distance of 1432 meters (0.89 miles) from the plant. Pathways considered for use in the organ dose calculations are inhalation, ground plane, grass/cow/meat and vegetation. There is no grass/cow/milk pathway within five miles of GGNS. It was assumed that the age group receiving the maximum dose lived at the residence and that the receptor consumed food products that were raised or produced at the residence.
Average Total Body and Skin Dose Rate Individual total body and skin dose rates from exposure to a semi-infinite cloud of noble gas are computed for a location in the south sector at a distance of 644 meters (0.40 miles) from the plant. This location corresponds to the highest annual average atmospheric dispersion factor for a location at an unrestricted area within the site boundary.
The total body and skin dose rates reported are the quarterly average of the maximum instantaneous dose rates determined daily during the reporting period and would represent the maximum possible dose rate received by members of the public.
Air Dose From Gamma and Beta Emissions Air doses from gaseous effluents were calculated for this report using dispersion parameters from the 2008 meteorological data. The highest dispersion factor for an unrestricted area was in the south sector within the site boundary, 644 meters (0.40 miles) from the plant.
Direct Radiation Direct radiation dose is calculated by subtracting average doses measured by thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) badges located at control locations from average doses measured by TLD badges located near the site boundary. GGNS reported measured doses in 2008 as net exposure normalized to 92 days.
