NOTES:
NOTES:
(1)   The total exposure from all stacks is 7.4E-3 mrem. Doses were determined using the EPA COMPLY code. Actual stack and building heights were used. A distance from source to receptor of 540 meters was used, with wind blowing towards the receptor at a speed of2 meters/sec, 25% of the time. Other default parameters such as temperature were used if prompted. Comply itself is conservative.

Other default parameters such as temperature were used if prompted. Comply itself is conservative.
(2)   All alpha activity is conservatively reported as U-234 for the NOG-L Stacks as this is the predominant uranium nuclide and has the most conservative dose conversion factor of the various uranium isotopes. No nuclides other than Uranium were found in the NOG-L Stack Semi-Annual Composite Samples. For the LTC Stacks each nuclide above MDC is reported.
 
(3)   Beta/Gamma nuclides are not reported unless they exceed the respective MDC based on isotopic analysis.

(4)   Average concentrations, errors and MDCs are quoted as lE-14 &#xb5;Ci/ml for stacks when these values are between 5E-15 &#xb5;Ci/ml and lE-14 &#xb5;Ci/ml, and they are quoted as <lE-14 &#xb5;Ci/ml when the values are less than 5E-15 &#xb5;Ci/ml.
 
(5)   Activities are quoted as lE-02 &#xb5;Ci when these values are between 5E-03 &#xb5;Ci and lE-02 &#xb5;Ci, and they are quoted as <lE-02 &#xb5;Ci when the values are less than 5E-03 &#xb5;Ci. 5E-03 &#xb5;Ci is conservatively used to calculate the offsite dose when the activity is <lE-02 &#xb5;Ci.
(3) Beta/Gamma nuclides are not reported unless they exceed the respective MDC based on isotopic analysis.
(6)  The error estimate is the daily error at the 95% confidence interval propagated over the six month period.

Reporting Period: 1/3/22 to 7/032/22 (Weeks Ending 1/02/22 to 7/03/22)

NOTES:

(1) The total exposure from all stacks is 7.4E-3 mrem. Doses were determined using the EPA COMPLY code. Actual stack and building heights were used. A distance from source to receptor of 540 meters was used, with wind blowing towards the receptor at a speed of2 meters/sec, 25% of the time. Other default parameters such as temperature were used if prompted. Comply itself is conservative.

(2) All alpha activity is conservatively reported as U-234 for the NOG-L Stacks as this is the predominant uranium nuclide and has the most conservative dose conversion factor of the various uranium isotopes. No nuclides other than Uranium were found in the NOG-L Stack Semi Annual Composite Samples. For the LTC Stacks each nuclide above MDC is reported.

(3) Beta/Gamma nuclides are not reported unless they exceed the respective MDC based on isotopic analysis.

(4) Average concentrations, errors and MDCs are quoted as lE-14 µCi/ml for stacks when these values are between 5E-15 µCi/ml and lE-14 µCi/ml, and they are quoted as <lE-14 µCi/ml when the values are less than 5E-15 µCi/ml.

(5) Activities are quoted as lE-02 µCi when these values are between 5E-03 µCi and lE-02 µCi, and they are quoted as <lE-02 µCi when the values are less than 5E-03 µCi. 5E-03 µCi is conservatively used to calculate the offsite dose when the activity is <lE-02 µCi.

(6) The error estimate is the daily error at the 95% confidence interval propagated over the six month period.

(7) Quantity released (µCi) is the sum of the activities calculated daily based on the calculated daily concentration for all concentrations> 0.

(8) Twenty two (22) stac~s were monitored during this monitoring period.

(9) Average concentrations, errors and MDCs are quoted to one significant digit except for the Recovery, Waste Treatment, and three LTC stacks.

(1) The total dose calculated for liquid release uses a dilution factor of 18:1. Regulatory Guide 1.109 was used as guidance, with conservative assumptions to estimate the exposure.

(2) The semi-annual concentration reported above is a volume-weighted average for the six months and may be less than the averaged MDC for the same period.

(3) Isotopic analysis is performed on the monthly composite samples for the most commonly utilized beta/gamma nuclides such as Sr-90, Tc-99 and Cs-137.

The analysis of these nuclides typically indicates results less than minimum detectable concentration (MDC). No nuclide with a concentration above the respective MDC was reported.
