II. DETAILED INFORMATION (CONT'D)
: 3. 40CFR 190 Limits Doses are calculated for Fission and Activation Gases; Radioiodines and Particulates; and Liquid Effluents according to equations contained in Sections 2.(a), (b), and (c) respectively, with the exception that the limits applied are:
                    ~ 25 mrem/yr, Total Body or any Organ except Thyroid
                    ~ 75 mrem/yr, Thyroid
                    ~ 10 mrad y/qtr or   ~  20 mrad y/yr, Fission and Activation Gases

                    ~ 10 mrem/qtr or    ~  20 mrem/yr, any Organ, Liquid Effluents B. Effluent Concentrations
: 1. Airborne The Effluent Concentration Limit (ECl) of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents is limited by the dose rate restrictions given in Section II.A.1.a. In this case, the ECls are actually determined by the dose factors in Table 2.1-1 of the GGNS ODCM.
Gaseous dose rates rather than Effluent Concentration Limits are used to calculate permissible release rates for gaseous releases. The maximum permissible dose rates for gaseous releases are defined in the GGNS ODCM 6.11.4.a as 500 mrem/yr (Total Body) and 3000 mrem/yr (Skin) and in 6.11.4.b as 1500 mrem/yr (Organ).
: 2. Liquid The ECl of radioactive materials in liquid effluents is limited by ten times the values in 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. The ECl chosen is the most conservative value of either the soluble or insoluble ECl for each radioisotope.
II. DETAILED INFORMATION (CONT'D)
C. Average Energy Not applicable for GGNS ODCM Appendix A.
The GGNS ODCM limits the instantaneous dose equivalent rates due to the release of noble gases to less than or equal to 500 rnrern/year to the total body and less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin. The average beta and gamma energies of the radionuclide mixture in releases of fission and activation gases as described in Regulatory Guide 1.21, "Measuring, Evaluation, and Reporting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants," may be used to calculate doses in lieu of more sophisticated software. The GGNS radioactive effluent programs employs the methodologies presented in U.S. NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, Revision 1, October 1977 II and NUREG-0133, "Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants, October 1978. Therefore, average energies are not applicable to GGNS.
D. Measurements and Approximations of Total Activity The following discussion details the methods used to measure and approximate the total activity for the following:
Fission and Activation Gases          Particulates Radioiodines                          Liquid Effluents Tables 10 and 2C give sampling frequencies and Lower Limit of Detection 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 10 and 2C. For some radionuclides, lower detection levels than required may be readily achievable; when a radionuclide is measured below its stated detection limits, it is reported.

II. DETAILED INFORMATION (CONT'D)
: 1. For Fission and Activation Gases The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification in Table 1D applies exclusively are:
Kr-87      Xe-133     Xe-135 Kr-88      Xe-133m    Xe-138 Periodic grab samples from Station effluent streams are analyzed by gamma spectral analysis 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.1 of this report. Theradionuclides that are detected are used in this computation.
When no radionuclides are detected, a historical default mixture is used. 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:
where:
C, = isotopic calibration factor for isotope i Uj = concentration of isotope i in the grab sample in   ~Ci/ml.
m   = net monitor reading associated with the effluent stream (determined at the time of grab sampling).
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 default mixture of Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-135m, Xe-135, and Xe-138.

: 2. For Particulates and Radioiodines The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification in Table 1D applies exclusively are:
Zn-65     Mo-99 Mn-54     Cs-134 Fe-59     Cs-137 Co-58     Ce-141 Co-60     Ce-144 Sr-89     1-131 Sr-90     1-133
: 3. For Continuous Releases Continuous sampling is performed on the continuous release points when releasing (i.e., Offgas/Radwaste Building, Containment Building, Fuel Handling Area, Turbine Building, and Turbine Building Occasional Release Point).
Particulate material is collected by filtration. Radioiodines are collected by adsorption onto a charcoal filter. Periodically these filters are removed and analyzed by gamma spectral analysis utilizing high-resolution Germanium detectors to identify and quantify radioactive materials collected. Particulate filters are then analyzed for gross alpha and Strontium-89/90 as required. Gross alpha is analyzed using a gas flow proportional detector. Strontium-89/90 values are obtained by chemical separation and subsequent counting analysis using a gas flow proportional detector. Tritium concentrations are determined using distillation and a liquid scintillation detector. During major operational occurrences, the frequency of sampling is increased to satisfy the requirements of footnote "c" of Table 1D, "Radioactive Gaseous Waste Sampling and Analysis," (GGNS ODCM Appendix A, Table 6.11.4-1). Strontium analysis is performed by a qualified contract laboratory. Carbon-14 (C-14) activity of 8.88 Curies released this year in gaseous form was obtained by estimation using EPRI spreadsheet BWR Source Term Calculation (MAL-1 )_r1 and the information in NEAD-NS-11-0060-Rev1-EC42519 and adjusted by 177.5 full power production days. Carbon-14 curies are reported in Tables 1A and 1C of this report and based on a constant release rate throughout the quarter.
: 4. For Batch Releases: Gases Gaseous batch releases are not normally performed at GGNS.
II. DETAILED INFORMATION (CONT'D)
: 5. For Batch Releases: Liquid Effluents The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD specification in Table 2C applies exclusively are:
H-3       Sr-90 Mn-54    Mo-99 Fe-55     1-131 Co-58     Cs-134 Co-60     Cs-137 Fe-59     Ce-141 Zn-65     Ce-144 Sr-89 Representative pre-release grab samples are obtained and analyzed as required by Table 2C. Isotopic analyses are performed by gamma spectral analysis utilizing high-resolution germanium detectors. 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 individual chemical separations. Strontium-89/90 is analyzed using a gas flow proportional detector. Iron-55 is analyzed using a low energy photon detector. Gross alpha is analyzed using a gas flow proportional detector. Tritium is distilled and then analyzed using a liquid scintillation detector.
Dissolved gases are determined employing grab sampling techniques and analyzed by gamma spectral analysis utilizing high-resolution germanium detectors.' 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.
For germanium detectors, the least-readily-detectable radioisotope is used to determine the counting error. Calibration errors are calculated by summing the errors associated with the calibration of a particular instrument with a radioactive source.
The total error is calculated by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the individual errors.

Airborne-Related Exposure Pathways The values presented in this section utilize information provided in Tables 1A and 1C of this report and the calculation methodology of the ODCM. Dose and dose rates are computed for locations at the site boundary or at unrestricted areas within the site boundary. Because members of the public, on occasion, may be found within the site boundary, two fishing lakes, the recreational vehicle laydown area, and the GGNS Energy Services Center locations were also evaluated.
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.
Doses for a Member of the Public are computed based on 2016 meteorological data and on the most recent land use census, with the most limiting location used.
During normal operations, the dispersion and deposition factors used for dose calculations are from five-year historical annual average meteorological data.
III. RADIATION DOSE 

==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 2016 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. This dose is documented in the following table as two separate entries. The first organ dose entry excludes C-14 while the second entry includes organ dose from tritium, radioiodines, particulates, and C-14.
Average Total Body and Skin Dose Rate Individual total body and skin dose rates from exposure to a semi-infinite cloud of noble gas was calculated for a location in the west-northwest sector at a distance of 1207 meters (0.75 miles) from the plant. This location corresponds to the highest annual average atmospheric dispersion factor for a location at or within the site boundary based on historical 5-year average meteorological data.
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 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 historical 5-year average meteorological data. The highest dispersion factor for an unrestricted area was in the west-northwest sector at the site boundary, 1207 meters (0.75 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 2016 as net exposure normalized to 92 days.
III. RADIATION DOSE 

==SUMMARY==
(CONT'D)
Carbon-14 Carbon-14 (C-14) is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon. Nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s significantly increased the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere.
Carbon-14 is also produced in commercial nuclear reactors, but the amounts produced are much less than those produced naturally or from weapons testing. In recent years, the analytical methodsfor determining C-14 have improved. Coincidentally the radioactive effluents from commercial nuclear power plants have also decreased to the point that C':'14 has emerged as a principal radionuclide in gaseous effluents.
The only significant dose pathway to a member of the public from C-14 release is through consumption of vegetation. Vegetation incorporates C-14 in form of carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) during photosynthesis so doses are calculated based on the CO 2 fraction of the carbon released in gaseous form. A CO 2 fraction of 950/0 is used based on EPRI Technical Report 1021106, "Estimation of Carbon-14 in Nuclear Power Plant Gaseous Effluents." The highest atmospheric dispersion factor for an actual garden based on the land use census was used to determine dose from C-14. Carbon-14 is dispersed as a gas (C0 2 ) to the garden location, where it is then incorporated into plant material.
Carbon-14 dose is calculated to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC for the most age restrictive group (Child) and organ (bone) at the garden location. This dose is then added to dose for the same organ from tritium, iodine, and particulates. This organ dose is recorded and compared to the limit in the following table.

Samples were analyzed for Tritium and selected samples were analyzed for gamma and/or hard to detect (HTD) isotopes (Gross Alpha, Iron-55, Nickel-63, Strontium-89 and Strontium-90). Analyses are to the Lower Level of Detection (LLD) values for the GGNS Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program.
No dose to the public is attributed to ground water since wells with results above MDA are bounded by wells which are less than minimum detectable activity <<MDA). Tritium, gamma and/or HTD results are shown in the table below.
All results were less than Reporting Levels of GGNS-ODCM table 6.12.1-2.
