1. Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Part 1 Radiological Effluent Controls

a. Fission and Activation Gases:

(1) The dose rate at or beyond the site boundary due to radioactive materials released from the plant in gaseous effluent shall be limited as follows:

(a) Less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the whole body and less than or equal to 3000 mrem/year to the skin from noble gases.

(2) The air dose to areas at or beyond the site boundary from noble gases released from the plant in gaseous effluent shall be limited:

(a) During any calendar quarter, to less than or equal to 5 mrad from gamma radiation, and less than or equal to 10 mrad from beta radiation; and, (b) During any calendar year, to less than or equal to 10 mrad from gamma radiation and less than or equal to 20 mrad from beta radiation.

b. Tritium, Iodines and Particulates, Half Lives > 8 days:

(1) The dose to a member of the public at or beyond the site boundary from Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium, and radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days released from the plant in gaseous effluent shall be limited:

(a) During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 7.5 mrem to any organ; and, (b) During any calendar year to less than or equal to 15 mrem to any organ.

(c) Less than 0.1% of the limits of Specification 3.4.1.c.1.a and 3.4.1.c.1.b as a result of burning contaminated oil.

(2) The dose rate at or beyond the site boundary due to radioactive materials released from the plant in gaseous effluents shall be limited as follows:

(a) Less than or equal to 1500 mrem/year to any organ from Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium and for radioactive materials in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days (inhalation pathway only).

c. Liquid Effluents:

(1) The concentration of radioactive materials released to the unrestricted areas shall not exceed ten times the values specified in 10 CFR 20.1001-20.2402, Appendix B, Table 2, column 2.

For dissolved or entrained noble gases the concentration shall be limited to 2.00E-04 Ci/ml.

(2) The dose to a member of the public from radioactive materials released from the plant in liquid effluents to unrestricted areas shall be limited as follows:

(a) During any calendar quarter, limited to less than or equal to 1.5 mrem to the whole body and to less than or equal to 5 mrem to any organ; and, (b) During any calendar year, limited to less than or equal to 3 mrem to the whole body and to less than or equal to 10 mrem to any organ.

3. Average Energy (None specified)

4. Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity

a. Fission and Activation Gases: Continuous monitor on each release path calibrated to a marinelli grab sample analyzed by gamma spectroscopy; bubbler grab sample analyzed for Tritium.

b. Iodines: Gamma spectral analysis of charcoal cartridge and particulate filter on each release path.

c. Particulates: Gamma spectral analysis of each particulate filter and charcoal cartridge for each release path. A four week per quarter composite of particulate filters for each release path for Strontium-89 and Strontium-90. One week per month particulate filter for each release path for gross alpha.

d. Liquid Effluents: Gamma spectral analysis of each batch discharged, except composite analysis for Strontium-89, Strontium-90, Iron-55, Tritium, and Alpha.

e. Solid Waste: Gamma spectral analysis of a representative sample of each waste shipment. Scaling factors established from off-site composite sample analyses to estimate concentration of non-gamma emitters. Low activity trash shipments curie content is estimated by dose rate measurement and application of appropriate scaling factors.

f. Error Estimation Method: Overall error for sampling and analysis estimated by combining individual errors using error propagation methods. This process is composed of determinate and undeterminate errors.

Determinate - Pump flowrates, volume measurements and analysis collection yields Undeterminate - Random counting error estimated using accepted statistical calculations 3

JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 2015 - DECEMBER 2015 ATTACHMENT NO. 7 ONSITE GROUNDWATER MONITORING In response to the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Groundwater Protection Initiative, JAF instituted a groundwater monitoring program in 2007. Five monitoring wells were installed during the fourth quarter of 2007. The first samples were collected in November 2007. Starting in March 2010, 16 additional monitoring wells were drilled in the area of the Reactor Building and nearby SSCs. In August 2013, 3 additional wells and 2 piezometers were installed on site.

All samples collected were analyzed for tritium and gamma emitting radionuclides. The detection limits and results are reported in the following tables. Analysis results of tritium ranged from non-detectable, a minimum positive indication of 1149 pCi/L, and a maximum concentration of 4379 pCi/L for a CST-B sample from 11/04/15. Such levels are below the Reporting Level of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), Part 1, Table 5.1-2, for tritium. The Reporting Level for tritium is 30,000 pCi/L. No drinking water sources are affected by this tritium. All of the effected wells are onsite. As such, there is no potential to influence any off-site drinking well. No drinking water pathway exists at the James A.

FitzPatrick site under normal operating conditions due to the direction and distance of the nearest water intake (Oswego, 8.5 miles west of the JAF discharge).

In conclusion, the only radionuclide detected in groundwater during the 2015 monitoring effort that is attributable to James A. FitzPatrick operations is tritium, and all concentrations were below any reporting criteria.

JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY 2015 - DECEMBER 2015 ADDENDUM 1 (continued)

3. DOSE ASSESSMENT A. METHODOLOGY The assessment of radiation doses to the public due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents is performed in accordance with the ODCM. The ODCM is based on methodologies and models suggested by the Guidance Manual For Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants" (NUREG-0133) and "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10CFR50, Appendix I" (Regulatory Guide 1.109).

B. ASSUMPTIONS Dose calculations are performed using formulas and constants defined in the ODCM.

Specific radioactive release activities used in the dose calculations are listed in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (1.21 Report) for the period of January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. Historical meteorological data was used to generate tables of average dispersion factors. Locations of interest were identified from the 2015 land use census.

These tables are available upon request.

C. ASSESSMENT RESULTS

SUMMARY

The calculated doses to the public due to radioactive effluents are listed in Table 1. The calculated doses are small fractions of their respective dose limits.

4. 40 CFR 190 DOSE ASSESSMENT A. METHODOLOGY Evaluation to demonstrate compliance with the 40 CFR 190 dose limits must be performed when the doses calculated for 10 CFR 50 compliance exceed twice their respective limits.

When additional dose assessment is required to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR 190 it is performed in accordance with the ODCM.

B. RESULTS

SUMMARY

The cumulative dose contribution from liquid and gaseous effluents for this report period were calculated and are listed in Table 1. The cumulative dose contribution from direct radiation from the reactor unit and from radwaste storage tanks is measured by environmental thermoluminescent dosimeters for the report period. This data is contained in the Annual Environmental Operating Report. The calculated doses from liquid and gaseous effluents are less than twice their respective 10 CFR 50 limits; therefore, additional calculations are not necessary to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR 190 dose limits.
