ENCLOSURE1SHINE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.SHINE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. PRELIMINARY SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORTREVISIONS RESULTING FROM REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RESPONSESREVISION 1 OF THE SHINE RESPONSE TO RAI 4B-2 AND RAI 11.1-6Via Reference (1), SHINE provided a Response to RAI 4b-2 (Reference 2). SHINE hasdetermined a revision to the SHINE Response to RAI 4b-2 is required. Revision 1 of theSHINE Response to RAI 4b-2 is provided below.In addition, via Reference (3), SHINE provided a Response to RAI 11.1-6 (Reference 2).SHINE has determined a revision to the SHINE Response to RAI 11.1-6 is required. Revision 1of the SHINE Response to RAI 11.1-6 is provided below.RAI 4b-2SHINE PSAR, page 4b-29, contains an apparent typographical error. The text inSection 4b.4.1.1.4. 1 (b.) reads: "The sulfuric acid washes of".Correct this this text to read: "The sulfuric acid washes off"SHINE ResponseSHINE stated in the original response to this RAI (Reference 1) that the Final Safety AnalysisReport (FSAR) will be updated to correct the typographical error contained inSubsection 4b.4.1.1.4.1 of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR). SHINE hasreviewed the wording in Subsection 4b.4.1.1.4.1 regarding the phrase "The sulfuric acid washesof" and determined that this wording is correct.The sulfuric acid washes are being applied to the columns in the Molybdenum Extraction andPurification System (MEPS) hot cell, and these washes are then fed to the uranyl nitrateconversion tank. Therefore the phrase 'The sulfuric acid washes of" is appropriate to use.

RAI 11.1-6SHINE PSAR, Section 11.1.7.2.2.1, "Air Sampling Locations," discusses the proposed airmonitoring program. When discussing the equipment that will be used for air sampling, theapplicant uses the term CAM (continuous air monitor). The conventional use of the term"continuous air monitor" denotes equipment that both samples and quantifies the activity on thesample media (i.e., real-time monitoring). Normally, CAMs are not used for such purposes andthe NRC guidance document, NUREG-1301, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Guidance:Standard Radiological Effluent Controls for Pressurized Water Reactors," that the applicantcites, does not specify CAMs for environmental air sampling.Clarify whether the term "air monitoring" is intended to refer to sample collection followed bylaboratory analysis or real-time air monitoring.SHINE ResponseSHINE inappropriately used the term "CAM" to refer to a continuous air sampler inSubsection 11.1.7.2.2.1 of the PSAR. SHINE will employ continuous air samplers at the statedlocations, with the samples collected and analyzed in a laboratory. SHINE has revisedSubsection 11.1.7.2.2.1, Table 11.1-8, and Figure 11.1-3 to correct the terminology. A mark-upof the PSAR changes is provided in Attachment 1. The non-public (proprietary) version of thePSAR, incorporating the changes provided in Attachment 1, is provided in Enclosure 4. Thepublic (non-proprietary) version of the PSAR, incorporating the changes provided inAttachment 1, is provided in Enclosure 5.The changes described above also apply to Subsection 19.4.8.3.2.3, Table 19.4.8-6, andFigure 19.4.8-1 of the PSAR.

Regulatory Position C.3.b of Regulatory Guide 4.1 indicates thatairborne sampling should always be included in the environmental monitoring programs fornuclear power plants since the airborne effluent pathway exists at all sites. Since the SHINEfacility includes airborne effluent releases and radioactivity in the airborne effluent can result inmeasurable off-site doses and since there is a potential for a portion of the dose to be attributableto radioactive iodine and possibly airborne particulate radioactivity releases, the radiologicalenvironmental monitoring program includes airborne sampling.11.1.7.2.2.1 Air Sampling LocationsThe guidance provided in Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1 301 is used to establish locations forairborne sample acquisition, sampling frequency, and type of sample analysis. Continuous airsample locations are specified in accordance with guidance provided in Table 3.12-1 ofNUREG-1 301. The GAMecontinuous air samplers (CAS) that are used to obtain continuous airsamples include a radioiodine canister for weekly iodine-1 31 (1-131) analysis and a particulatesampler which is analyzed for gross beta radioactivity and for quarterly isotopic analysis.Four CAMCAS locations are near the facility property line in the north, south, east, and westdirection sectors to ensure all directions are monitored. The north and east direction sectors(with respect to the SHINE facility vent stack) have the highest calculated annual ground leveldeposition factor (D/Q) values. There is also a GAMCAS located a sufficient distance from theSHINE facility to provide background information for airborne activity. Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1301 suggests an additional GAMCAS location in the vicinity of a community having the highestcalculated annual average ground-level D/Q. This GAAMCAS requirement is combined with theGAMCAS located at the site boundary in the north direction (refer to Table 11.1-8). A descriptionof air sample locations and the rationale for air sample locations are provided in Table 11.1-8.GAMCAS locations are shown on Figure 11.1-3.11.1.7.2.3 Ingestion Pathway (Biota Monitoring)NUREG-1 301 suggests sampling of various biological media as a means to indirectly assessdoses due to particulate and iodine ingestion. This type of monitoring may include sampling ofsoils, broad leafed plants, fish, meat, or milk. Nuclear power plants have long monitored thispathway and have seen neither appreciable dose nor upward trending. Since the SHINE sourceterm is more modest than that of a nuclear power plant and particulate and iodine radionuclidesare not normally expected to be present in significant quantities within airborne effluent releasesfrom the SHINE facility, biota monitoring is not routinely included in the REMP. Monitoring of themilk pathway will be performed as part of the CEMP, as described in Subsection 11.1.7.3In the event that the results of environmental airborne samples, effluent monitor sample results,or milk sampling results indicate iodine or particulates in quantities large enough to result in acalculated dose greater than that predicted for normal releases (e.g., from GENII models used toshow compliance with the 10 CFR 20.1101(d) dose constraint), then a more comprehensivesampling campaign is undertaken. The sampling campaign is planned under the DQO processthus ensuring the appropriate types and numbers of samples are collected to best representpotential public doses based on the radionuclides of concern in the environmental airborne,effluent monitor, or milk samples.I SHINE Medical Technologies11-28Rev.-1-2 Chapter 11 -Radiation Protection Program and Waste ManagementRadiation Protection11.1.7.3 Community Environmental Monitoring ProgramIn addition to the monitoring that is performed to meet regulatory requirements, SHINE has aCEMP. The CEMP initially includes groundwater monitoring and monitoring of the milk pathway.Additional initiatives may be undertaken in the future.Milk is one of the most important foods contributing to the radiation dose to people if milk animalsare pastured in an area near a facility that releases radioactive material. Dairy production takesplace approximately one-half mile (mi.) (0.8 kilometers [km]) to the east of the SHINE facility andgoat production takes place at approximately 0.69 mi. (1.1 km) northeast of the facility. Adescription of the milk sampling program will be provided with the FSAR.11.1.7.3.1 Groundwater MonitoringThere is no liquid effluent release pathway from the RCA associated with the SHINE facility andthus, surface waters of the rivers in the vicinity of the plant (e.g., the Rock River and itstributaries) are not expected to accumulate detectable levels of radioactivity. As such, surfacewater sampling is not included in the radiological environmental monitoring plan. Similarly marinelife in the rivers is not expected to accumulate detectable levels of radioactivity and thussampling of fish or other marine creatures for the ingestion pathway is not included in theradiological environmental monitoring plan.Measured local water table elevations for the site identify the groundwater gradient and indicatethat the groundwater flow is to the west and to the south. The nearest drinking water source is awell located approximately a third of a mile (0.54 km) to the northwest of the facility. There arefour test wells within the property boundary for the SHINE facility that were used for monitoringgroundwater in support of a hydrological assessment of the site.One test well is located north, one south, one east, and one west of the SHINE facility building.Although there are no defined liquid effluent release pathways from the RCA and thegroundwater is not expected to be contaminated due to operation of the SHINE facility, the testwells to the west and the south are sampled for the presence of radionuclide contaminants.Sampling is in accordance with the recommendations in Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1301, i.e.,quarterly with gamma isotopic and tritium analysis. The rationale for sampling the test wells tothe west and south of the SHINE facility is provided in Table 11.1-8.11.1.7.3.2 Other Potential Special Sampling InitiativesAfter SHINE operations are underway, additional sampling initiatives may be undertaken. Forexample, detectors may be placed within areas of community interest to allow for real-timegamma monitoring that can be observed via the internet. Other initiatives may include collectionof high-volume air samples using portable air samplers in areas of community interest.11.1.7.4 Preoperational Baseline MonitoringAs previously indicated, effluent releases from the SHINE facility are limited to releases via theairborne pathway. Environmental monitoring of the SHINE facility includes the use of TLDs formonitoring direct radiation and GAMeCAS for detecting iodine and particulate activities inairborne effluents. A preoperational baseline survey is performed to obtain TLD readings at thenine TLD locations and to obtain air sample radioactive iodine and particulate surveys at the fiveI SHINE Medical Technologies11-29Rev.-42 Chapter 11 -Radiation Protection Program and Waste ManagementRadiation ProtectionTable 11.1-8 Environmental Monitoring Locations(Sheet 2 of 2)MonitoringType Location RationaleTLD #7 Property line to the west of This location ensures all directions are monitored.the SHINE facilityTLD #8 Property line to the north of This location is in the direction of Janesville.the SHINE facility vent stackTLD #9 Property line to the south of This location is in the direction of the nearestthe SHINE facility vent stack occupied structure.Air Sampler LocationsAir Sampler Off-site location Control air sampler located a sufficient distance(GAM from the SHINE facility such that airborne samplesCAS #1) are unaffected by airborne effluent releases fromthe facility.Air Sampler Close to property line, This direction has high D/Q and is in the direction of(GAM directly north of the SHINE Janesville.

PRELIMINARY SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT REVISIONS RESULTING FROM REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RESPONSES REVISION 1 OF THE SHINE RESPONSE TO RAI 4B-2 AND RAI 11.1-6 Via Reference (1), SHINE provided a Response to RAI 4b-2 (Reference 2). SHINE has determined a revision to the SHINE Response to RAI 4b-2 is required. Revision 1 of the SHINE Response to RAI 4b-2 is provided below.
In addition, via Reference (3), SHINE provided a Response to RAI 11.1-6 (Reference 2).
SHINE has determined a revision to the SHINE Response to RAI 11.1-6 is required. Revision 1 of the SHINE Response to RAI 11.1-6 is provided below.
RAI 4b-2 SHINE PSAR, page 4b-29, contains an apparenttypographicalerror. The text in Section 4b.4.1.1.4. 1(b.) reads: "The sulfuric acid washes of".
Correct this this text to read: "The sulfuric acid washes off" SHINE Response SHINE stated in the original response to this RAI (Reference 1) that the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) will be updated to correct the typographical error contained in Subsection 4b.4.1.1.4.1 of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR). SHINE has reviewed the wording in Subsection 4b.4.1.1.4.1 regarding the phrase "The sulfuric acid washes of" and determined that this wording is correct.
The sulfuric acid washes are being applied to the columns in the Molybdenum Extraction and Purification System (MEPS) hot cell, and these washes are then fed to the uranyl nitrate conversion tank. Therefore the phrase 'The sulfuric acid washes of" is appropriate to use.
 
RAI 11.1-6 SHINE PSAR, Section 11.1.7.2.2.1, "AirSampling Locations," discusses the proposedair monitoringprogram. When discussingthe equipment that will be used for air sampling, the applicantuses the term CAM (continuous airmonitor). The conventional use of the term "continuousairmonitor"denotes equipment that both samples and quantifies the activity on the sample media (i.e., real-time monitoring). Normally, CAMs are not used for such purposes and the NRC guidance document, NUREG-1301, "Offsite Dose CalculationManual Guidance:
StandardRadiologicalEffluent Controls for PressurizedWater Reactors,"that the applicant cites, does not specify CAMs for environmentalairsampling.
Clarify whether the term "airmonitoring"is intended to refer to sample collection followed by laboratoryanalysis or real-time airmonitoring.
SHINE Response SHINE inappropriately used the term "CAM" to refer to a continuous air sampler in Subsection 11.1.7.2.2.1 of the PSAR. SHINE will employ continuous air samplers at the stated locations, with the samples collected and analyzed in a laboratory. SHINE has revised Subsection 11.1.7.2.2.1, Table 11.1-8, and Figure 11.1-3 to correct the terminology. A mark-up of the PSAR changes is provided in Attachment 1. The non-public (proprietary) version of the PSAR, incorporating the changes provided in Attachment 1, is provided in Enclosure 4. The public (non-proprietary) version of the PSAR, incorporating the changes provided in , is provided in Enclosure 5.
The changes described above also apply to Subsection 19.4.8.3.2.3, Table 19.4.8-6, and Figure 19.4.8-1 of the PSAR. An IMR has been initiated to address the issue.

Chapter 11 - Radiation Protection Program and Waste Management                  Radiation Protection Environmental airborne sampling is performed to identify and quantify particulates and radioiodine in airborne effluents. Regulatory Position C.3.b of Regulatory Guide 4.1 indicates that airborne sampling should always be included in the environmental monitoring programs for nuclear power plants since the airborne effluent pathway exists at all sites. Since the SHINE facility includes airborne effluent releases and radioactivity in the airborne effluent can result in measurable off-site doses and since there is a potential for a portion of the dose to be attributable to radioactive iodine and possibly airborne particulate radioactivity releases, the radiological environmental monitoring program includes airborne sampling.
11.1.7.2.2.1       Air Sampling Locations The guidance provided in Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1 301 is used to establish locations for airborne sample acquisition, sampling frequency, and type of sample analysis. Continuous air sample locations are specified in accordance with guidance provided in Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1 301. The GAMecontinuous air samplers (CAS) that are used to obtain continuous air samples include a radioiodine canister for weekly iodine-1 31 (1-131) analysis and a particulate sampler which is analyzed for gross beta radioactivity and for quarterly isotopic analysis.
Four CAMCAS locations are near the facility property line in the north, south, east, and west direction sectors to ensure all directions are monitored. The north and east direction sectors (with respect to the SHINE facility vent stack) have the highest calculated annual ground level deposition factor (D/Q) values. There is also a GAMCAS located a sufficient distance from the SHINE facility to provide background information for airborne activity. Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1301 suggests an additional GAMCAS location in the vicinity of a community having the highest calculated annual average ground-level D/Q. This GAAMCAS requirement is combined with the GAMCAS located at the site boundary in the north direction (refer to Table 11.1-8). A description of air sample locations and the rationale for air sample locations are provided in Table 11.1-8.
GAMCAS locations are shown on Figure 11.1-3.
11.1.7.2.3     Ingestion Pathway (Biota Monitoring)
NUREG-1 301 suggests sampling of various biological media as a means to indirectly assess doses due to particulate and iodine ingestion. This type of monitoring may include sampling of soils, broad leafed plants, fish, meat, or milk. Nuclear power plants have long monitored this pathway and have seen neither appreciable dose nor upward trending. Since the SHINE source term is more modest than that of a nuclear power plant and particulate and iodine radionuclides are not normally expected to be present in significant quantities within airborne effluent releases from the SHINE facility, biota monitoring is not routinely included in the REMP. Monitoring of the milk pathway will be performed as part of the CEMP, as described in Subsection 11.1.7.3 In the event that the results of environmental airborne samples, effluent monitor sample results, or milk sampling results indicate iodine or particulates in quantities large enough to result in a calculated dose greater than that predicted for normal releases (e.g., from GENII models used to show compliance with the 10 CFR 20.1101(d) dose constraint), then a more comprehensive sampling campaign is undertaken. The sampling campaign is planned under the DQO process thus ensuring the appropriate types and numbers of samples are collected to best represent potential public doses based on the radionuclides of concern in the environmental airborne, effluent monitor, or milk samples.
I SHINE Medical Technologies                      11-28                                        Rev.-1-2
 
Chapter 11 - Radiation Protection Program and Waste Management                  Radiation Protection 11.1.7.3         Community Environmental Monitoring Program In addition to the monitoring that is performed to meet regulatory requirements, SHINE has a CEMP. The CEMP initially includes groundwater monitoring and monitoring of the milk pathway.
Additional initiatives may be undertaken in the future.
Milk is one of the most important foods contributing to the radiation dose to people if milk animals are pastured in an area near a facility that releases radioactive material. Dairy production takes place approximately one-half mile (mi.) (0.8 kilometers [km]) to the east of the SHINE facility and goat production takes place at approximately 0.69 mi. (1.1 km) northeast of the facility. A description of the milk sampling program will be provided with the FSAR.
11.1.7.3.1       Groundwater Monitoring There is no liquid effluent release pathway from the RCA associated with the SHINE facility and thus, surface waters of the rivers in the vicinity of the plant (e.g., the Rock River and its tributaries) are not expected to accumulate detectable levels of radioactivity. As such, surface water sampling is not included in the radiological environmental monitoring plan. Similarly marine life in the rivers is not expected to accumulate detectable levels of radioactivity and thus sampling of fish or other marine creatures for the ingestion pathway is not included in the radiological environmental monitoring plan.
Measured local water table elevations for the site identify the groundwater gradient and indicate that the groundwater flow is to the west and to the south. The nearest drinking water source is a well located approximately a third of a mile (0.54 km) to the northwest of the facility. There are four test wells within the property boundary for the SHINE facility that were used for monitoring groundwater in support of a hydrological assessment of the site.
One test well is located north, one south, one east, and one west of the SHINE facility building.
Although there are no defined liquid effluent release pathways from the RCA and the groundwater is not expected to be contaminated due to operation of the SHINE facility, the test wells to the west and the south are sampled for the presence of radionuclide contaminants.
Sampling is in accordance with the recommendations in Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1301, i.e.,
quarterly with gamma isotopic and tritium analysis. The rationale for sampling the test wells to the west and south of the SHINE facility is provided in Table 11.1-8.
11.1.7.3.2       Other Potential Special Sampling Initiatives After SHINE operations are underway, additional sampling initiatives may be undertaken. For example, detectors may be placed within areas of community interest to allow for real-time gamma monitoring that can be observed via the internet. Other initiatives may include collection of high-volume air samples using portable air samplers in areas of community interest.
11.1.7.4         Preoperational Baseline Monitoring As previously indicated, effluent releases from the SHINE facility are limited to releases via the airborne pathway. Environmental monitoring of the SHINE facility includes the use of TLDs for monitoring direct radiation and GAMeCAS for detecting iodine and particulate activities in airborne effluents. A preoperational baseline survey is performed to obtain TLD readings at the nine TLD locations and to obtain air sample radioactive iodine and particulate surveys at the five I SHINE Medical Technologies                        11-29                                      Rev.-42

I, Richard Vann Bynum, Chief Operating Officer of SHINE Medical Technologies, Inc. (SHINE),
do hereby affirm and state:
: 1. I am authorized to execute this affidavit on behalf of SHINE. I am authorized to review information submitted to or discussed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and apply for the withholding of information from public disclosure. The purpose of this affidavit is to provide the information required by 10 CFR 2.390(b) in support of SHINE's request for proprietary treatment of certain confidential commercial and financial information submitted in the SHINE response to the NRC staff's requests for additional information transmitted by letter SMT-2015-019 with enclosures. SHINE requests that the confidential information contained in Enclosures 2 and 4 be withheld from public disclosure in their entirety.
: 2. I have knowledge of the criteria used by SHINE in designating information as sensitive, proprietary, or confidential.
: 3. Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a)(4) of 10 CFR 2.390, the following is furnished for consideration by the NRC in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.
: a. The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure contained in Enclosures 2 and 4 of SMT-2015-019 is owned by SHINE, its affiliates, or third parties to whom SHINE has an obligation to maintain its confidentiality.
This information is and has been held in confidence by SHINE.
: b. The information sought to be protected in Enclosures 2 and 4 is not available to the public to the best of my knowledge and belief.
1
: c. The information contained in Enclosures 2 and 4 is of the type that is customarily held in confidence by SHINE, and there is a rational basis for doing so. The information that SHINE is requesting to be withheld from public disclosure includes trade secret, commercial financial information, commercial information, or information that is subject to export controls.
SHINE limits access to these elements to those with a "need to know," and subject to maintaining confidentiality.
: d. The proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure in Enclosures 2 and 4 includes, but is not limited to: structural configuration, primary and supporting systems of the medical isotope facility, process and system locations, and process details. This would include information regarding the types, quantities, and locations of materials stored on site as would be referenced in facility configuration drawings. Public disclosure of the information in Enclosures 2 and 4 would create substantial harm to SHINE because it would reveal trade secrets owned by SHINE, its affiliates, or third parties to whom SHINE has an obligation to maintain its confidentiality.
: e. Public disclosure of the information in Enclosures 2 and 4 would create substantial harm to SHINE because it would reveal valuable business information regarding SHINE's competitive expectations, assumptions, processes, and current position. Its use by a competitor could substantially improve their competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product.
: f. The information contained in Enclosures 2 and 4 of SMT-2015-019 is transmitted to the NRC in confidence and under the provisions of 10 CFR 2.390; it is to be received in confidence by the NRC. The information is properly marked.

ENCLOSURE1 SHINE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

SHINE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. PRELIMINARY SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT REVISIONS RESULTING FROM REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RESPONSES REVISION 1 OF THE SHINE RESPONSE TO RAI 4B-2 AND RAI 11.1-6 Via Reference (1), SHINE provided a Response to RAI 4b-2 (Reference 2). SHINE has determined a revision to the SHINE Response to RAI 4b-2 is required. Revision 1 of the SHINE Response to RAI 4b-2 is provided below.

In addition, via Reference (3), SHINE provided a Response to RAI 11.1-6 (Reference 2).

SHINE has determined a revision to the SHINE Response to RAI 11.1-6 is required. Revision 1 of the SHINE Response to RAI 11.1-6 is provided below.

RAI 4b-2 SHINE PSAR, page 4b-29, contains an apparenttypographicalerror. The text in Section 4b.4.1.1.4. 1(b.) reads: "The sulfuric acid washes of".

Correct this this text to read: "The sulfuric acid washes off" SHINE Response SHINE stated in the original response to this RAI (Reference 1) that the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) will be updated to correct the typographical error contained in Subsection 4b.4.1.1.4.1 of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR). SHINE has reviewed the wording in Subsection 4b.4.1.1.4.1 regarding the phrase "The sulfuric acid washes of" and determined that this wording is correct.

The sulfuric acid washes are being applied to the columns in the Molybdenum Extraction and Purification System (MEPS) hot cell, and these washes are then fed to the uranyl nitrate conversion tank. Therefore the phrase 'The sulfuric acid washes of" is appropriate to use.

RAI 11.1-6 SHINE PSAR, Section 11.1.7.2.2.1, "AirSampling Locations," discusses the proposedair monitoringprogram. When discussingthe equipment that will be used for air sampling, the applicantuses the term CAM (continuous airmonitor). The conventional use of the term "continuousairmonitor"denotes equipment that both samples and quantifies the activity on the sample media (i.e., real-time monitoring). Normally, CAMs are not used for such purposes and the NRC guidance document, NUREG-1301, "Offsite Dose CalculationManual Guidance:

StandardRadiologicalEffluent Controls for PressurizedWater Reactors,"that the applicant cites, does not specify CAMs for environmentalairsampling.

Clarify whether the term "airmonitoring"is intended to refer to sample collection followed by laboratoryanalysis or real-time airmonitoring.

SHINE Response SHINE inappropriately used the term "CAM" to refer to a continuous air sampler in Subsection 11.1.7.2.2.1 of the PSAR. SHINE will employ continuous air samplers at the stated locations, with the samples collected and analyzed in a laboratory. SHINE has revised Subsection 11.1.7.2.2.1, Table 11.1-8, and Figure 11.1-3 to correct the terminology. A mark-up of the PSAR changes is provided in Attachment 1. The non-public (proprietary) version of the PSAR, incorporating the changes provided in Attachment 1, is provided in Enclosure 4. The public (non-proprietary) version of the PSAR, incorporating the changes provided in , is provided in Enclosure 5.

The changes described above also apply to Subsection 19.4.8.3.2.3, Table 19.4.8-6, and Figure 19.4.8-1 of the PSAR. An IMR has been initiated to address the issue.

Chapter 11 - Radiation Protection Program and Waste Management Radiation Protection Environmental airborne sampling is performed to identify and quantify particulates and radioiodine in airborne effluents. Regulatory Position C.3.b of Regulatory Guide 4.1 indicates that airborne sampling should always be included in the environmental monitoring programs for nuclear power plants since the airborne effluent pathway exists at all sites. Since the SHINE facility includes airborne effluent releases and radioactivity in the airborne effluent can result in measurable off-site doses and since there is a potential for a portion of the dose to be attributable to radioactive iodine and possibly airborne particulate radioactivity releases, the radiological environmental monitoring program includes airborne sampling.

11.1.7.2.2.1 Air Sampling Locations The guidance provided in Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1 301 is used to establish locations for airborne sample acquisition, sampling frequency, and type of sample analysis. Continuous air sample locations are specified in accordance with guidance provided in Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1 301. The GAMecontinuous air samplers (CAS) that are used to obtain continuous air samples include a radioiodine canister for weekly iodine-1 31 (1-131) analysis and a particulate sampler which is analyzed for gross beta radioactivity and for quarterly isotopic analysis.

Four CAMCAS locations are near the facility property line in the north, south, east, and west direction sectors to ensure all directions are monitored. The north and east direction sectors (with respect to the SHINE facility vent stack) have the highest calculated annual ground level deposition factor (D/Q) values. There is also a GAMCAS located a sufficient distance from the SHINE facility to provide background information for airborne activity. Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1301 suggests an additional GAMCAS location in the vicinity of a community having the highest calculated annual average ground-level D/Q. This GAAMCAS requirement is combined with the GAMCAS located at the site boundary in the north direction (refer to Table 11.1-8). A description of air sample locations and the rationale for air sample locations are provided in Table 11.1-8.

GAMCAS locations are shown on Figure 11.1-3.

11.1.7.2.3 Ingestion Pathway (Biota Monitoring)

NUREG-1 301 suggests sampling of various biological media as a means to indirectly assess doses due to particulate and iodine ingestion. This type of monitoring may include sampling of soils, broad leafed plants, fish, meat, or milk. Nuclear power plants have long monitored this pathway and have seen neither appreciable dose nor upward trending. Since the SHINE source term is more modest than that of a nuclear power plant and particulate and iodine radionuclides are not normally expected to be present in significant quantities within airborne effluent releases from the SHINE facility, biota monitoring is not routinely included in the REMP. Monitoring of the milk pathway will be performed as part of the CEMP, as described in Subsection 11.1.7.3 In the event that the results of environmental airborne samples, effluent monitor sample results, or milk sampling results indicate iodine or particulates in quantities large enough to result in a calculated dose greater than that predicted for normal releases (e.g., from GENII models used to show compliance with the 10 CFR 20.1101(d) dose constraint), then a more comprehensive sampling campaign is undertaken. The sampling campaign is planned under the DQO process thus ensuring the appropriate types and numbers of samples are collected to best represent potential public doses based on the radionuclides of concern in the environmental airborne, effluent monitor, or milk samples.

I SHINE Medical Technologies 11-28 Rev.-1-2

Chapter 11 - Radiation Protection Program and Waste Management Radiation Protection 11.1.7.3 Community Environmental Monitoring Program In addition to the monitoring that is performed to meet regulatory requirements, SHINE has a CEMP. The CEMP initially includes groundwater monitoring and monitoring of the milk pathway.

Additional initiatives may be undertaken in the future.

Milk is one of the most important foods contributing to the radiation dose to people if milk animals are pastured in an area near a facility that releases radioactive material. Dairy production takes place approximately one-half mile (mi.) (0.8 kilometers [km]) to the east of the SHINE facility and goat production takes place at approximately 0.69 mi. (1.1 km) northeast of the facility. A description of the milk sampling program will be provided with the FSAR.

11.1.7.3.1 Groundwater Monitoring There is no liquid effluent release pathway from the RCA associated with the SHINE facility and thus, surface waters of the rivers in the vicinity of the plant (e.g., the Rock River and its tributaries) are not expected to accumulate detectable levels of radioactivity. As such, surface water sampling is not included in the radiological environmental monitoring plan. Similarly marine life in the rivers is not expected to accumulate detectable levels of radioactivity and thus sampling of fish or other marine creatures for the ingestion pathway is not included in the radiological environmental monitoring plan.

Measured local water table elevations for the site identify the groundwater gradient and indicate that the groundwater flow is to the west and to the south. The nearest drinking water source is a well located approximately a third of a mile (0.54 km) to the northwest of the facility. There are four test wells within the property boundary for the SHINE facility that were used for monitoring groundwater in support of a hydrological assessment of the site.

One test well is located north, one south, one east, and one west of the SHINE facility building.

Although there are no defined liquid effluent release pathways from the RCA and the groundwater is not expected to be contaminated due to operation of the SHINE facility, the test wells to the west and the south are sampled for the presence of radionuclide contaminants.

Sampling is in accordance with the recommendations in Table 3.12-1 of NUREG-1301, i.e.,

quarterly with gamma isotopic and tritium analysis. The rationale for sampling the test wells to the west and south of the SHINE facility is provided in Table 11.1-8.

11.1.7.3.2 Other Potential Special Sampling Initiatives After SHINE operations are underway, additional sampling initiatives may be undertaken. For example, detectors may be placed within areas of community interest to allow for real-time gamma monitoring that can be observed via the internet. Other initiatives may include collection of high-volume air samples using portable air samplers in areas of community interest.

11.1.7.4 Preoperational Baseline Monitoring As previously indicated, effluent releases from the SHINE facility are limited to releases via the airborne pathway. Environmental monitoring of the SHINE facility includes the use of TLDs for monitoring direct radiation and GAMeCAS for detecting iodine and particulate activities in airborne effluents. A preoperational baseline survey is performed to obtain TLD readings at the nine TLD locations and to obtain air sample radioactive iodine and particulate surveys at the five I SHINE Medical Technologies 11-29 Rev.-42

COUNTY OF DANE )

I, Richard Vann Bynum, Chief Operating Officer of SHINE Medical Technologies, Inc. (SHINE),

do hereby affirm and state:

1. I am authorized to execute this affidavit on behalf of SHINE. I am authorized to review information submitted to or discussed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and apply for the withholding of information from public disclosure. The purpose of this affidavit is to provide the information required by 10 CFR 2.390(b) in support of SHINE's request for proprietary treatment of certain confidential commercial and financial information submitted in the SHINE response to the NRC staff's requests for additional information transmitted by letter SMT-2015-019 with enclosures. SHINE requests that the confidential information contained in Enclosures 2 and 4 be withheld from public disclosure in their entirety.
2. I have knowledge of the criteria used by SHINE in designating information as sensitive, proprietary, or confidential.
3. Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a)(4) of 10 CFR 2.390, the following is furnished for consideration by the NRC in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.
a. The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure contained in Enclosures 2 and 4 of SMT-2015-019 is owned by SHINE, its affiliates, or third parties to whom SHINE has an obligation to maintain its confidentiality.

This information is and has been held in confidence by SHINE.

b. The information sought to be protected in Enclosures 2 and 4 is not available to the public to the best of my knowledge and belief.

1

c. The information contained in Enclosures 2 and 4 is of the type that is customarily held in confidence by SHINE, and there is a rational basis for doing so. The information that SHINE is requesting to be withheld from public disclosure includes trade secret, commercial financial information, commercial information, or information that is subject to export controls.

SHINE limits access to these elements to those with a "need to know," and subject to maintaining confidentiality.

d. The proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure in Enclosures 2 and 4 includes, but is not limited to: structural configuration, primary and supporting systems of the medical isotope facility, process and system locations, and process details. This would include information regarding the types, quantities, and locations of materials stored on site as would be referenced in facility configuration drawings. Public disclosure of the information in Enclosures 2 and 4 would create substantial harm to SHINE because it would reveal trade secrets owned by SHINE, its affiliates, or third parties to whom SHINE has an obligation to maintain its confidentiality.
e. Public disclosure of the information in Enclosures 2 and 4 would create substantial harm to SHINE because it would reveal valuable business information regarding SHINE's competitive expectations, assumptions, processes, and current position. Its use by a competitor could substantially improve their competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product.
f. The information contained in Enclosures 2 and 4 of SMT-2015-019 is transmitted to the NRC in confidence and under the provisions of 10 CFR 2.390; it is to be received in confidence by the NRC. The information is properly marked.
