YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION License Nos. DPR-3 and SFGL-13 ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT January - December 2016 RadiabO Safety & Control Services March 2017 Prepared by:

Radiation Safety & Control Services 91 Portsmouth Avenue Stratham, NH 03885-2468

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

Tables 1 and 2 summarize the quantity of radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, respectively, for each quarter of 2016. There were no gaseous or liquid releases in 2016. Table 3 summarizes waste shipped off-site for disposal for each half year of 2016. There was waste shipped for disposal in 2016.

Appendices A and B indicate the status of reportable items per the requirements of the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). There were no reportable items in 2016.

Appendix C presents any changes in the ODCM. The ODCM was not revised in 2016.
