17 ATTACHMENTS None i RSNGS ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY -DECEMBER 2014 INTRODUCTION Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station (RSNGS) Unit No. 1 is located in Sacramento County, California approximately 25 miles southeast of Sacramento and 26 miles north-northeast of Stockton.Rancho Seco Unit No. 1 began commercial operation on April 17, 1975. The single unit on the Rancho Seco site was a pressurized water reactor supplied by Babcock and Wilcox. The rated capacity was 913 megawatts electrical.
Rancho Seco Unit No. 1 began commercial operation on April 17, 1975. The single unit on the RanchoSeco site was a pressurized water reactor supplied by Babcock and Wilcox. The rated capacity was 913megawatts electrical.
Because of a public vote on June 6, 1989, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) shutdown the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station and completed defueling operations on December 8, 1989. Transfer of the spent fuel rod assemblies from the Spent Fuel Pool into dry storage at the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) was completed on August 21, 2002.Radiological dismantlement of the nuclear facility was completed in December 2008 and the release of the Rancho Seco property, except for the area associated with the Interim Onsite Storage Installation (IOSB), from NRC license DPR-54 was approved on September 25, 2009. With the completion of Phase I of decommissioning, the facility is in a SAFSTOR-type condition awaiting a suitable disposal option for the low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) in storage in the IOSB. While in the SAFSTOR condition, the LLRW disposal facility in Andrews, TX became available and was deemed suitable by SMUD. During the reporting period, Phase II of decommissioning began when the inventory of LLRW previously stored onsite was shipped to that facility for disposal.This Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) provides a summary of gaseous and liquid effluent releases made from Rancho Seco during the period of January 1 through December 31, 2014.This report also provides a summary of solid radioactive waste shipments during the reporting period.In the current condition, there are no radioactive liquids or liquid systems at the facility, and the remaining inventory of solid material is small and consists of some building surface contamination within the IOSB.The previously stored materials shipped during the reporting period had been packaged for disposal prior placement into storage, and there was no need to process or otherwise handle the LLRW material prior to shipment off site. Accordingly, there were no radioactive liquid or gaseous effluent releases made from Rancho Seco during the reporting period. Any future decommissioning activities that present a potential for release of particulate material in gaseous effluents will be evaluated.

17 ATTACHMENTS None i RSNGS ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY -DECEMBER 2014 INTRODUCTION Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station (RSNGS) Unit No. 1 is located in Sacramento County, California approximately 25 miles southeast of Sacramento and 26 miles north-northeast of Stockton.Rancho Seco Unit No. 1 began commercial operation on April 17, 1975. The single unit on the Rancho Seco site was a pressurized water reactor supplied by Babcock and Wilcox. The rated capacity was 913 megawatts electrical.

Because of a public vote on June 6, 1989, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) shutdown the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station and completed defueling operations on December 8, 1989. Transfer of the spent fuel rod assemblies from the Spent Fuel Pool into dry storage at the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) was completed on August 21, 2002.Radiological dismantlement of the nuclear facility was completed in December 2008 and the release of the Rancho Seco property, except for the area associated with the Interim Onsite Storage Installation (IOSB), from NRC license DPR-54 was approved on September 25, 2009. With the completion of Phase I of decommissioning, the facility is in a SAFSTOR-type condition awaiting a suitable disposal option for the low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) in storage in the IOSB. While in the SAFSTOR condition, the LLRW disposal facility in Andrews, TX became available and was deemed suitable by SMUD. During the reporting period, Phase II of decommissioning began when the inventory of LLRW previously stored onsite was shipped to that facility for disposal.This Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) provides a summary of gaseous and liquid effluent releases made from Rancho Seco during the period of January 1 through December 31, 2014.This report also provides a summary of solid radioactive waste shipments during the reporting period.In the current condition, there are no radioactive liquids or liquid systems at the facility, and the remaining inventory of solid material is small and consists of some building surface contamination within the IOSB.The previously stored materials shipped during the reporting period had been packaged for disposal prior placement into storage, and there was no need to process or otherwise handle the LLRW material prior to shipment off site. Accordingly, there were no radioactive liquid or gaseous effluent releases made from Rancho Seco during the reporting period. Any future decommissioning activities that present a potential for release of particulate material in gaseous effluents will be evaluated.

This report has been prepared by SMUD to meet the requirements of Rancho Seco Quality Manual (RSQM), Appendix A, Section 1.5.3 and Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Revision 23, Step 6.12. It is presented in accordance with the format of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.21. Radiation doses associated with radioactive effluents in liquids and gasses would be calculated for a hypothetical individual who receives the maximum possible exposure at or beyond the applicable Site Boundary, had any releases occurred.Since there were no releases of radioactivity in gaseous and liquid effluents during this report period, the limits of 10 CFR 20 were not exceeded, nor were the numerical guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I exceeded.

A 40 CFR 190 dose evaluation is not required because radioactive effluent releases did not exceed twice the numerical guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I.1 RSNGS ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY -DECEMBER 2014 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION A. Regulatory Limits & Guidelines for Effluent Releases 1. Gaseous Effluents a. Dose rate limit at or beyond the Site Boundary for Gaseous Effluents for Tritium and radioactive material in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days (ODCM Technical Requirement 6.9.3): 1500 mrem/year to any organ b. Dose commitment to a member of the public at or beyond the Site Boundary for Gaseous Effluents from Tritium and radioactive material in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days (ODCM Technical Requirement 6.9.4, numerical guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I): 7.5 mrem per calendar quarter to any organ 15 mrem per calendar year to any organ 2. Liquid Effluents a. The concentration of radioactive material in liquid effluents released beyond the Site Boundary for Liquid Effluents shall not exceed the limits of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2.b. Dose commitment to a member of the public at or beyond the Site Boundary for Liquid Effluents from radioactive materials in liquid effluents shall be limited to (numerical guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I): 1.5 5 3 10 mrem per calendar quarter to the total body mrem per calendar quarter to any organ mrem per calendar year to the total body mrem per calendar year to any organ NOTE: The noble gas source term was removed when spent fuel transfer to the ISFSI was completed in August 2002. Reference to noble gases was completely removed from the ODCM.2 4'RSNGS ANNUAL RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT RELEASE REPORT JANUARY -DECEMBER 2014 B. Maximum Effluent Concentrations

1. Gaseous Effluents The concentrations listed in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1 (air) are not directly used in calculations for determining permissible gaseous effluent release rates.The annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 for unrestricted areas are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1. ODCM Technical Requirement dose rate limits (mrem/yr) for gaseous effluents are provided to ensure that the dose rate from gaseous effluents at any time at the Site Boundary for Gaseous Effluents will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR 20 for unrestricted areas. These dose rate limits (listed above in part A) are used for determining permissible gaseous effluent release rates.2. Liquid Effluents The concentration values listed in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 are used in calculations to determine permissible liquid discharge flow rates. The most conservative Maximum Effluent Concentration (MEC) value for each radionuclide detected in the liquid effluent sample is used in the calculations.

C. Measurement Methods for Total Radioactivity The methods listed below are examples should radioactive effluents be discharged.

ESTIMATION OF ERROR The methods for establishing error estimates included review of applicable station procedures, inspection of sampling equipment, engineering estimates, statistical applications, review of calibration setpoint data, and communication with plant personnel.

The various sources of error (s) in reported values of gaseous effluents, liquid effluents, and solid waste are assumed to be independent, and thus the total error is calculated according to the formula:/ 2 2 2 2 Total Error = + C"2 + (3 + +where: ci = relative error associated with component i Sources of error for gaseous effluents include fan error (flow), grab sampling, collection, filter efficiency, counting, and calibration.

Sources of error for liquid effluents include collection container volume, dilution water flow rate, grab sampling, counting, and calibration.

Sources of error for solid waste include offsite lab smear analysis, dose rate meter calibration, dose rate meter reading, computer program dose-to-curie calculation, sample volume measurement, gamma spec counting, gamma spec calibration, and waste volume determination.

-Summation of All Releases, provides a detailed summary of gaseous effluent releases per quarter. This table summarizes releases of tritium and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days. The methodology used to calculate the Percent of ODCM Technical Requirement limit is as follows: Z [(Fi)(Avg Rel Rate)(X / Q)(Dose Factor)]% Tech Req Limit =(Dose Rate Limit) X 100%where: Fi = The fraction of the total number of Curies of nuclide i out of the total curies in that category for that quarter (unitless).

NOTE: Fj always equals 1.0 for H-3 because it is the only nuclide in the category.(Total Curies per category per quarterQI E + 06 CpCi Avg Rel Rate = C (# seconds in the quarter)X/Q = A default dispersion factor determined to be conservative when compared to the use of actual data (sec/m3).Dose Factor = The values derived for each nuclide i from NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Ki, Li+1.lMi, or Raij). [Units in (mrem/yr)/(pCi/m3)]

Dose Rate Limit = The Technical Requirement (i.e., Regulatory) limits for dose rate listed in Section I of this report (mrem/yr).

NOTE: Particulates with half-lives less than 8 days are not included in this calculation.

The methodology used to calculate the Estimated Total Error (%) in Table III-A is presented in Section II of this report.Table Ill-B, Gaseous Effluents
