Attachment 2 Oconee Nuclear Site Supplemental Information OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (January 1, 20 10 through December 31, 2010)This attachment includes: (1) Carbon-14 Supplemental Information (2) Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 1, Supplemental Information (3) Overall Error Estimate for Liquid and Gaseous Effluent Release Data Page 1 of 2 Oconee 2010 ARERR -Carbon-14 Supplemental Information Carbon-14 (C-14), with a half-life of 5730 years, is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon produced by cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere. | ** No Nuclide Activities ** | ||
Nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s significantly increased the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere. | |||
C-14 is also produced in commercial nuclear reactors, but the amounts produced are much less than those produced naturally or from weapons testing.In Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 2, "Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste", the NRC has recommended that U.S. nuclear power plants evaluate whether C-14 is a "principal radionuclide", and if so, report the amount of C- 14 released. | TABLE IC EFFLUENT AND WASTE DISPOSAL ANNUAL REPORT PERIOD 1/1/10 TO 1/1/11 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS - GROUND RELEASES - CONTINUOUS MODE Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, & 3 REPORT FOR 2010 Unit QTR 1 QTR 2 QTR 3 QTR 4 YEAR | ||
At Oconee, improvements over the years in effluent management practices and fuel performance have resulted in a decrease in the concentration and a change in the distribution of gaseous radionuclides released to the environment. | : 1. Fission and Activation Gases | ||
As a result, C-14 has become a "principal radionuclide" for the gaseous effluent pathway at Oconee, as defined in Regulatory Guide 1.21, Rev. 2. Oconee's 2010 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) contains estimates of C- 14 radioactivity released in 2010, and estimates of public dose resulting from the C-14 effluent.Because the dose contribution of C-14 from liquid radioactive waste is much less than that contributed by gaseous radioactive waste, evaluation of C-14 in liquid radioactive waste at Oconee is not required (Ref. Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2). The quantity of gaseous C-14 released to the environment can be estimated by use of a C-14 source term scaling factor based on power generation (Ref. Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2). Many documents provide information related to the magnitude of C-14 in typical effluents from commercial nuclear power plants. Those documents suggest that nominal annual releases of C-14 in gaseous effluents are approximately 5 to 7.3 curies from PWRs (Ref. Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2). A more recent study recommends a higher C-14 gaseous source term scaling factor of approximately 9.0 to 9.8 Ci/GWe-yr for a Westinghouse PWR and 10.4 to 11.3 for a CE PWR (Ref. EPRI 1021106). | ** No Nuclide Activities ** | ||
The EPRI report did not provide a source term scaling factor for a B&W PWR, but for the 2010 Oconee ARERR a source term scaling factor of 9.4 Ci/GWe-yr is assumed in order to be consistent with the scaling factor used for the Catawba and McGuire ARERRs. Using a source term scaling factor of 9.4 Ci/GWe-yr and actual electric generation (MWe-hrs) from Oconee in 2010 results in a site total C-14 gaseous release estimate to the environment of -22 Curies. 70% of the C-14 gaseous effluent is assumed to be from batch releases (e.g. WGDTs), and 30% of C-14 gaseous effluent is assumed to be from continuous releases through the unit vents (ref. IAEA Technical Reports Series no. 421, "Management of Waste Containing Tritium and Carbon-14", 2004).C- 14 releases in PWRs occur primarily as a mix of organic carbon and carbon dioxide released from the waste gas system. Since the PWR operates with a reducing chemistry, most, if not all, of the C-14 species initially produced are organic (e.g., methane). | : 2. Iodines 1-131 Ci 0.OOE+00 1. 30E-06 0. OOE+00 0. OOE+00 1. 30E-06 Totals for Period... Ci 0.OOE+00 1.30E-06 0.OOE+00 0.OOE+00 1.30E-06 | ||
As a general rule, C-14 in the primary coolant is essentially all organic with a large fraction as a gaseous species. Any time the RCS liquid or gas is exposed to an oxidizing environment (e.g. during shutdown or refueling), a slow transformation from an organic to an inorganic chemical form can occur. Various studies documenting measured C-14 releases from PWRs suggest a range of 70% to 95% organic with Page 2 of 2 an average of 80% organic with the remainder being CO 2 (Ref. EPRI TR-105715). | : 3. Particulates Half Life >= 8 days | ||
For the Oconee 2010 ARERR a value of 80% organic C-14 is assumed.Public dose estimates from airborne C-14 are performed using dose models in NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109. The dose models and assumptions used are documented in the 2011 Oconee ODCM. The estimated C-14 dose impact on the maximum organ dose from airborne effluents released at Oconee in 2010 is well below the | ** No Nuclide Activities ** | ||

Attachment 2 Oconee Nuclear Site Supplemental Information | |||
OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (January 1, 20 10 through December 31, 2010) | |||
This attachment includes: | |||
(1) Carbon-14 Supplemental Information (2) Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 1, Supplemental Information (3) Overall Error Estimate for Liquid and Gaseous Effluent Release Data | |||
Page 1 of 2 Oconee 2010 ARERR - Carbon-14 Supplemental Information Carbon-14 (C-14), with a half-life of 5730 years, is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon produced by cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere. Nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s significantly increased the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere. C-14 is also produced in commercial nuclear reactors, but the amounts produced are much less than those produced naturally or from weapons testing. | |||
In Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 2, "Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste", the NRC has recommended that U.S. nuclear power plants evaluate whether C-14 is a "principal radionuclide", and if so, report the amount of C- 14 released. At Oconee, improvements over the years in effluent management practices and fuel performance have resulted in a decrease in the concentration and a change in the distribution of gaseous radionuclides released to the environment. As a result, C-14 has become a "principal radionuclide" for the gaseous effluent pathway at Oconee, as defined in Regulatory Guide 1.21, Rev. 2. Oconee's 2010 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) contains estimates of C- 14 radioactivity released in 2010, and estimates of public dose resulting from the C-14 effluent. | |||
Because the dose contribution of C-14 from liquid radioactive waste is much less than that contributed by gaseous radioactive waste, evaluation of C-14 in liquid radioactive waste at Oconee is not required (Ref. Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2). The quantity of gaseous C-14 released to the environment can be estimated by use of a C-14 source term scaling factor based on power generation (Ref. Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2). Many documents provide information related to the magnitude of C-14 in typical effluents from commercial nuclear power plants. Those documents suggest that nominal annual releases of C-14 in gaseous effluents are approximately 5 to 7.3 curies from PWRs (Ref. Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2). A more recent study recommends a higher C-14 gaseous source term scaling factor of approximately 9.0 to 9.8 Ci/GWe-yr for a Westinghouse PWR and 10.4 to 11.3 for a CE PWR (Ref. EPRI 1021106). The EPRI report did not provide a source term scaling factor for a B&W PWR, but for the 2010 Oconee ARERR a source term scaling factor of 9.4 Ci/GWe-yr is assumed in order to be consistent with the scaling factor used for the Catawba and McGuire ARERRs. Using a source term scaling factor of 9.4 Ci/GWe-yr and actual electric generation (MWe-hrs) from Oconee in 2010 results in a site total C-14 gaseous release estimate to the environment of -22 Curies. 70% of the C-14 gaseous effluent is assumed to be from batch releases (e.g. WGDTs), and 30% of C-14 gaseous effluent is assumed to be from continuous releases through the unit vents (ref. IAEA Technical Reports Series no. 421, "Management of Waste Containing Tritium and Carbon-14", 2004). | |||
C- 14 releases in PWRs occur primarily as a mix of organic carbon and carbon dioxide released from the waste gas system. Since the PWR operates with a reducing chemistry, most, if not all, of the C-14 species initially produced are organic (e.g., methane). As a general rule, C-14 in the primary coolant is essentially all organic with a large fraction as a gaseous species. Any time the RCS liquid or gas is exposed to an oxidizing environment (e.g. during shutdown or refueling), a slow transformation from an organic to an inorganic chemical form can occur. Various studies documenting measured C-14 releases from PWRs suggest a range of 70% to 95% organic with | |||
Page 2 of 2 an average of 80% organic with the remainder being CO 2 (Ref. EPRI TR-105715). For the Oconee 2010 ARERR a value of 80% organic C-14 is assumed. | |||
Public dose estimates from airborne C-14 are performed using dose models in NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109. The dose models and assumptions used are documented in the 2011 Oconee ODCM. The estimated C-14 dose impact on the maximum organ dose from airborne effluents released at Oconee in 2010 is well below the 10CFR50, Appendix I, ALARA design objective (i.e., 15 mrem/yr per unit). | |||

The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-1 35 is the controlling radioisotope and its EC in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.The basic requirements for Selected Licensee Commitments concerning effluent from nuclear power reactors are stated in 10 CFR 50.36a. Compliance with effluent Selected Licensee Commitments will ensure that average annual releases of radioactive material in effluents will be small percentages of the limits specified in the old 10 CFR 20.106 (new 10 CFR 20.1302).The requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.36a further indicate that operational flexibility is allowed, compatible with considerations of health and safety, which may temporarily result in releases higher than such small percentages, but still within the limits specified in the old 10 CFR 20.106 which references Appendix B, Table II concentrations (MPCs). These referenced concentrations are specific values which relate to an annual dose of 500 mrem. It is further indicated in 10 CFR 50.36a that when using operational flexibility, best efforts shall be exerted to keep levels of radioactive materials in effluents as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) as set forth in 10 CFR 50 Appendix I. Also, for fresh water sites with drinking water supplies which can be potentially affected by plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radionuclide concentrations in the finished drinking water that are in excess of the requirements-of 40 CFR 141. Therefore, to accommodate operational flexibility needed for effluent releases, the limits associated with this SLC are based on ten times the instantaneous dose rate value of 50 mrem/year to apply at all times. Compliance with the limits of the new 10 CFR 20.1001 will be demonstrated by operating within the limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, 40 CFR 141 and 40 CFR 190.Section I of Appendix I of 10 CFR 50 states that this appendix provides specific numerical guides for design objectives and limiting conditions for operation, to assist holders of licenses for light water cooled nuclear power reactors in meeting the requirements to keep releases of radioactive material to unrestricted areas as low as practical and reasonably achievable, during normal reactor operations, including expected operational occurrences. | SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY SR 16.11. 1.1 N/A N/A 16.11.1-4 03/15/11 1 | ||
Using the flexibility granted during unusual operating conditions, and the stated applicability of the design objectives for the Oconee Nuclear Station, Appendix I dose limits for radioactive liquid effluent releases are concluded to be not applicable during unusual operating conditions that result in the activation of the Oconee Emergency Plan.For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the liquid effluents from the shared system are proportioned among the units sharing that system.The requirements that the appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable."

Compliance with effluent Selected Licensee Commitments will ensure that average annual releases of radioactive material in effluents will be small percentages of the limits specified in the old 10 CFR 20.106 (new 10 CFR 20.1302). | |||
The requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.36a further indicate that operational flexibility is allowed, compatible with considerations of health and safety, which may temporarily result in releases higher than such small percentages, but still within the limits specified in the old 10 CFR 20.106 which references Appendix B, Table II concentrations (MPCs). These referenced concentrations are specific values which relate to an annual dose of 500 mrem. It is further indicated in 10 CFR 50.36a that when using operational flexibility, best efforts shall be exerted to keep levels of radioactive materials in effluents as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) as set forth in 10 CFR 50 Appendix I. Also, for fresh water sites with drinking water supplies which can be potentially affected by plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radionuclide concentrations in the finished drinking water that are in excess of the requirements-of 40 CFR 141. Therefore, to accommodate operational flexibility needed for effluent releases, the limits associated with this SLC are based on ten times the instantaneous dose rate value of 50 mrem/year to apply at all times. Compliance with the limits of the new 10 CFR 20.1001 will be demonstrated by operating within the limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, 40 CFR 141 and 40 CFR 190. | |||
Section I of Appendix I of 10 CFR 50 states that this appendix provides specific numerical guides for design objectives and limiting conditions for operation, to assist holders of licenses for light water cooled nuclear power reactors in meeting the requirements to keep releases of radioactive material to unrestricted areas as low as practical and reasonably achievable, during normal reactor operations, including expected operational occurrences. Using the flexibility granted during unusual operating conditions, and the stated applicability of the design objectives for the Oconee Nuclear Station, Appendix I dose limits for radioactive liquid effluent releases are concluded to be not applicable during unusual operating conditions that result in the activation of the Oconee Emergency Plan. | |||
For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the liquid effluents from the shared system are proportioned among the units sharing that system. | |||
The requirements that the appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This SLC implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a. | |||

Radioactive Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 16.11.3 BASES The radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with NRC approved methods in the ODCM to assure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding 10 times the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The operability and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. | |||
The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with NRC approved methods in the ODCM to assure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding applicable dose limits in SLC 16.11.2. The operability end use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. | |||
For certain applicable cases, grab samples or flow estimates are required at frequencies between every 4 hours end every 12 hours upon RIA removal from service. SLC 16.11.3 does not explicitly require Action (grab samples or flow estimates) to be initiated immediately upon RIA removal from service, when removal is for the purposes of sample filter changeouts, setpoint adjustments, service checks, or routine maintenance. Therefore, during the defined short, controlled outages, Action is not required. | |||
For the cases in which Action is defined as continuous sampling by auxiliary equipment (Action L) initiation of continuous sampling by auxiliary sampling equipment requires approximately 1 hour. One hour is the accepted reasonable time to initiate collect and change samples. | |||
Therefore. for the defined short, controlled outages (not to exceed 1 hour), Action is not required. | |||
Failures such as blown instrument fuses, defective indicators, and faulted amplifiers are, in many cases, revealed by alarm or annunciator action. Comparison of output and/or state of independent channels measuring the same variable supplements this type of built-in surveillance. Based on experience in operation of both conventional and nuclear systems, when the unit is in operation, the minimum checking frequency stated is deemed adequate. | |||

Operational Safety Review 16.11.4 (a) Samples shall be changed at least once every 24 hours and analysis shall be completed within 48 hours after changing (on or after removal from sampler). | |||
(b) The LLD is defined for purposes of these commitments as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that would be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal. | |||
For a particular measurement system (which may include radiochemical separation) | |||
LLD= 4.66 sb E x V x 2.22E06 x Y x exp (-X,.t) | |||
Where: | |||
LLD is the "a priori" lower limit of detection as defined above (as micro Curies per unit mass or volume), | |||
sb is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute), | |||
E is the counting efficiency (as counts per disintegration), | |||
V is the sample size (in units of mass or volume), | |||
2.22E06 is the number of disintegrations per minute per micro Curie, Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable), | |||
X is the radioactive decay constant for the particular nuclide A t is the elapsed time between midpoint of sample collection and time of counting (for plant effluents, not environmental samples). NOTE: This assumes decay correction is applied (at the time of analysis) for the duration of sample collection, for the time between collection and analysis, and for the duration of the counting. | |||
Additionally, it does not apply to isolated systems such as Waste Gas Decay Tanks and Waste Monitor Tanks. | |||
Typical values of E, V, Y and A t should be used in the calculation. | |||
It should be recognized that the LLD is an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. | |||
(c) The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD control applies include the following radionuclides: Mn-54. Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60. Zn-65, Mo-99, Cs-134, Cs-137. and Ce-141. Ce-144 shall also be measured, but with a LLD of 5E-06 piCi/ml. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered. Other gamma peaks that are identifiable, together with the above nuclides shall also be analyzed and reported in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. | |||
(d) The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD commitment applies exclusively are the following radionuclides: Kr-87. Kr-88, Xe-1 33. Xe-1 33m, Xe-1 35. and Xe-1 38 for gaseous emissions and Mn-54, Fe-59. Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65. | |||
Mo-99, Cs-1 34, Cs-1 37, Ce-1 41, and Ce-1 44 for particulates. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be detected and reported. Other peaks which are measurable and identifiable, together with the above nuclides shall also be identified and reported. | |||
(e) The ratio of the sample flow rate to the sampled stream flow rate shall be known for the time period covered by each dose or dose rate calculation made in accordance with SLC 16.11.2.a, SLC 16.11.2.b.1, and SLC 16.11.2.b.2. | |||
(f) A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged and in which the method of sampling employed results in a specimen which is representative of the liquids released. | |||
(g) To be representative of the quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples shall be collected continuously in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream. Prior to analysis, all samples taken for the composite shall be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the effluent release. | |||

Operational Safety Review 16.11.4 (h) A batch release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a discrete volume. Prior to sampling for analysis, each batch shall be isolated, and then thoroughly mixed, to assure representative sampling. | |||
(i) A continuous release is the discharge of liquid wastes of a non-discrete volume, e.g., from a volume of a system that has an input flow during the continuous release. | |||
When samples collected for 24 hours are analyzed, the corresponding LLDs may be increased by a factor of 10. | |||

: a. This report was generated as a result of the ground water monitoring results for wells GM-7R and GM-7DR. These results triggered the co~mmunication protocol of NEI 07-07 on February 8, 2010.ii. Samples obtained from groundwater monitoring wells contained tritium in the following concentrations: | |||
: a. GM-7R; 24,400 picocuries per liter (pCi/I)b. GM-7DR; 35,400 picocuries per liter (pCi/I)iii. On February 8, 2010, Oconee was notified by the Duke Energy Environmental Lab that samples taken from ground water monitoring wells GM-7R and GM-7DR on January 26, 2010, contained tritium levels that triggered the NEI 07-07 ground water communication protocol. | U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission March 3, 2010 Page 3 bcc w/attachment: | ||
On February 9, 2010, Duke Energy verbally notified the NRC (NRC Event Notification number 45690) and appropriate state and local agencies of the on-site environmental monitoring well sample results indicated in (ii) above.Elevated tritium levels in ground water samples were identified in well GM-7R and adjacent well GM-7 in 2008. Duke Energy began investigation by pressure testing the Liquid Waste Discharge (LWD) piping. A portion of the LWD piping is located in the vicinity of the area showing elevated tritium concentrations. | K.R. Alter T.P. Gillespie, Jr. | ||
This piping was pressure tested from the Turbine Building to Keowee Hydro. This testing did not indicate any leakage present.Remote video inspection of the Turbine Building Sump Monitor Tank discharge piping along the east side of the Turbine Building has been conducted. | R.M.

This piping is immediately up-gradient of GM-7 wells. As part of the investigation, Duke Energy has limited pumping Turbine Building Sump water into this yard drainage system.A hydro-geologic model has been developed by an independent engineering firm with expertise in groundwater flow. Since December 2009, Duke Energy has installed 14 additional ground water monitoring wells and installation of additional wells is in progress. | |||
The additional wells will be used, along with existing wells, to refine the model and define the horizontal and vertical extent of tritium observed in ground water. | -I ATTACHMENT 30-DAY REPORT PER NEI 07-07 [FINAL], | ||
2 ATTACHMENT 30-DAY REPORT PER NEI 07-07 [FINAL], INDUSTRY GROUND WATER PROTECTION INITIATIVE, OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 AND 3 iv. The wells displaying tritium activity are ground water monitoring wells, and not drinking water wells. Samples from surrounding ground water monitoring wells indicate that tritium has not migrated to the site boundary. | INDUSTRY GROUND WATER PROTECTION INITIATIVE, OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 AND 3 This report is being submitted in support of NEI 07-07, Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative. | ||
South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) sampling of residential wells around the Oconee Nuclear Station, and Duke Energy samples from surrounding monitoring wells indicate that tritium in ground water has not migrated off the plant site. Therefore there is no public exposure pathway and Duke Energy determined that there is no estimated annual dose to any member of the public associated with this event.V. Since there is no estimated annual dose increase to a member of the public from this event, no corrective actions are necessary to reduce the projected annual dose to a member of the public to less than the limits of 10 CFR 50 Appendix 1. | : a.

Attachment 10 Oconee Nuclear Site Inoperable Monitoring Equipment 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40, Condenser Steam Air Ejector Off Gas Monitors, were declared out-of-service on August 5, 2010, at 1745 due to water carryover in the detector.Selected Licensee Commitment (SLIC) 16.11.3, Condition C, required action to return | ii. Samples obtained from groundwater monitoring wells contained tritium in the following concentrations: | ||
Because condensation is visible in the rotameters for 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40, it is plausible that water droplets condensing on the face of the detector for 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 can effectively shield some of the beta energy from expected sources (Xe-1 33). This shielding effect would-adversely impact the sensitivity of 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 to detect and alarm for increased activity resulting from a primary to secondary leak. The amount of water within the sample chambers for 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 is unknown. Since the amount of water and its relative effect on sensitivity cannot be quantified, as a conservative measure 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 were declared inoperable. | : a. GM-7R; 24,400 picocuries per liter (pCi/I) | ||
However, the effluent pathway is still being monitored by 1 RIA-45 and 2RIA-45 Unit Vent Monitors.On September 4, 2010, at 1745, Oconee Units 1 and 2 entered S.L.C. 16.11.3, Condition D, which states that the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report to the NRC shall include an explanation of why the inoperability of liquid or gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation, out of service for greater than 30 days, was not corrected in a timely manner.A modification is being developed to either eliminate the water in the system or use another type of detector that is not affected by water. A modification will require more than 30 days to complete either of these actions. The modification will be implemented for 1 RIA-40, 2RIA-40 and 3RIA-40. Until 1RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 are returned to service, SLC.16.11.3, Condition C, will remain in effect for Units I and 2.3RIA-40, Condenser Steam Air Ejector Off Gas Monitor, has been calibrated and there is no indication of condensation on the rotometers. | : b. GM-7DR; 35,400 picocuries per liter (pCi/I) iii.

On February 9, 2010, Duke Energy verbally notified the NRC (NRC Event Notification number 45690) and appropriate state and local agencies of the on-site environmental monitoring well sample results indicated in (ii) above. | ||

Attachment 2 Oconee Nuclear Site Supplemental Information
OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (January 1, 20 10 through December 31, 2010)
This attachment includes:
(1) Carbon-14 Supplemental Information (2) Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 1, Supplemental Information (3) Overall Error Estimate for Liquid and Gaseous Effluent Release Data
Page 1 of 2 Oconee 2010 ARERR - Carbon-14 Supplemental Information Carbon-14 (C-14), with a half-life of 5730 years, is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon produced by cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere. Nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s significantly increased the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere. C-14 is also produced in commercial nuclear reactors, but the amounts produced are much less than those produced naturally or from weapons testing.
In Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 2, "Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste", the NRC has recommended that U.S. nuclear power plants evaluate whether C-14 is a "principal radionuclide", and if so, report the amount of C- 14 released. At Oconee, improvements over the years in effluent management practices and fuel performance have resulted in a decrease in the concentration and a change in the distribution of gaseous radionuclides released to the environment. As a result, C-14 has become a "principal radionuclide" for the gaseous effluent pathway at Oconee, as defined in Regulatory Guide 1.21, Rev. 2. Oconee's 2010 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) contains estimates of C- 14 radioactivity released in 2010, and estimates of public dose resulting from the C-14 effluent.
Because the dose contribution of C-14 from liquid radioactive waste is much less than that contributed by gaseous radioactive waste, evaluation of C-14 in liquid radioactive waste at Oconee is not required (Ref. Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2). The quantity of gaseous C-14 released to the environment can be estimated by use of a C-14 source term scaling factor based on power generation (Ref. Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2). Many documents provide information related to the magnitude of C-14 in typical effluents from commercial nuclear power plants. Those documents suggest that nominal annual releases of C-14 in gaseous effluents are approximately 5 to 7.3 curies from PWRs (Ref. Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2). A more recent study recommends a higher C-14 gaseous source term scaling factor of approximately 9.0 to 9.8 Ci/GWe-yr for a Westinghouse PWR and 10.4 to 11.3 for a CE PWR (Ref. EPRI 1021106). The EPRI report did not provide a source term scaling factor for a B&W PWR, but for the 2010 Oconee ARERR a source term scaling factor of 9.4 Ci/GWe-yr is assumed in order to be consistent with the scaling factor used for the Catawba and McGuire ARERRs. Using a source term scaling factor of 9.4 Ci/GWe-yr and actual electric generation (MWe-hrs) from Oconee in 2010 results in a site total C-14 gaseous release estimate to the environment of -22 Curies. 70% of the C-14 gaseous effluent is assumed to be from batch releases (e.g. WGDTs), and 30% of C-14 gaseous effluent is assumed to be from continuous releases through the unit vents (ref. IAEA Technical Reports Series no. 421, "Management of Waste Containing Tritium and Carbon-14", 2004).
C- 14 releases in PWRs occur primarily as a mix of organic carbon and carbon dioxide released from the waste gas system. Since the PWR operates with a reducing chemistry, most, if not all, of the C-14 species initially produced are organic (e.g., methane). As a general rule, C-14 in the primary coolant is essentially all organic with a large fraction as a gaseous species. Any time the RCS liquid or gas is exposed to an oxidizing environment (e.g. during shutdown or refueling), a slow transformation from an organic to an inorganic chemical form can occur. Various studies documenting measured C-14 releases from PWRs suggest a range of 70% to 95% organic with
Page 2 of 2 an average of 80% organic with the remainder being CO 2 (Ref. EPRI TR-105715). For the Oconee 2010 ARERR a value of 80% organic C-14 is assumed.
Public dose estimates from airborne C-14 are performed using dose models in NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109. The dose models and assumptions used are documented in the 2011 Oconee ODCM. The estimated C-14 dose impact on the maximum organ dose from airborne effluents released at Oconee in 2010 is well below the 10CFR50, Appendix I, ALARA design objective (i.e., 15 mrem/yr per unit).

OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION Overall Estimate of Error for Effluent Radioactivity Release Reported The estimated percentage of overall error for both Liquid and Gaseous effluent release data at Oconee Nuclear Station has been determined to be +/- 30.3%. This value was derived by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the following discrete individual estimates of error:
(1) Flow Rate Determining Devices +/- 20%
(2) Counting Statistical Error +/- 20%
(3) Calibration Error +/- 10%
(4) Calibration Source Error +/- 2.5%
(5) Sample Preparation Error +/-3%

Attachment 5 Oconee Nuclear Site Unplanned OffsIte Releases The ONS SLC 16.11.9, Radioactive Effluent Release Report, states:
"The Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report shall include the following information for all unplanned releases to unrestricted areas of radioactive materials in gaseous and liquid effluents:
- a. A description of the event and equipment involved;
- b. Cause(s) for the unplanned release;
- c. Actions taken to prevent recurrence; and,
- d. Consequences of the unplanned release."
There were no known unplanned releases of radioactivity (material, liquid, or airborne) from Oconee Nuclear Station in 2010.
Attachment 6 Oconee Nuclear Site Assessment of Radiation Dose from Radioactive Effluents to Members of the Public (includes fuel cycle dose calculation results)
OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION ASSESSMENT OF RADIATION DOSE FROM RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS AND ALL URANIUM FUEL CYCLE SOURCES TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC This attachment includes an assessment of radiation doses to the maximum exposed member of the public due to radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents released from the site for each calendar quarter and for the calendar year of this report. The effluent dose calculations consider radionuclides identified as part of the liquid and gaseous wastes sample and analysis program.
Radioactive liquid and gaseous wastes are sampled and analyzed per the requirements in Selected Licensee Commitment (SLC) Table 16.11.4-1, "Minimum Sampling Frequency and Analysis Program". Included in the gaseous effluent dose calculations is an estimate of the dose contributed by Carbon-14 (Ref. "Carbon-14Supplemental Information", contained in the ARERR for furtherinformation). The "Fuel Cycle Calculation" attachment also includes an assessment of radiation doses to the maximum exposed member of the public from all uranium fuel cycle sources within 8 km of Oconee for the calendar year of this report to show conformance with 40CFR190. Methods for calculating the dose contribution from liquid and gaseous effluents are given in the ODCM.

Oconee Nuclear Station 2010 Radioactive Effluent and ISFSI 40CFR190 Uranium Fuel Cycle-Dose Calculation Results In accordance with the requirements of 40CFR190, the annual dose commitment to any member of the general public shall be calculated to assure that doses are limited to 25 millirems to the total body or any organ with the exception of the thyroid which is limited to 75 millirems. The fuel cycle dose assessment for Oconee Nuclear Station only includes liquid and gaseous effluent dose contributions from Oconee and direct and air-scatter dose from Oconee's onsite Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) since no other uranium fuel cycle facility contributes significantly to Oconee's maximum exposed individual. Included in the gaseous effluent dose calculations is an estimate of the dose contributed by Carbon-14 (Ref. "Carbon-14Supplemental Information",contained in the ARERR for further information). The combined dose to a maximum exposed individual from Oconee's effluent releases and direct and air-scatter dose from Oconee's ISFSI is below 40CFR190 limits as shown by the following summary:
I. 2010 Oconee 40CFR190 Effluent Dose Summary The 40CFR190 effluent dose analysis to the maximum exposed individual from liquid and gas releases includes the dose from noble gases (i.e., total body and skin).
Maximum Total Body Dose = 2.59E-01 mrem Maximum Location: 1.0 Mile, Southwest Sector Critical Age: Child Gas non-NG Contribution: 34%
Gas NG Contribution: <1%
Liquid Contribution: 66%
Maximum Organ (other than TB) Dose = 6.90E-01 mrem Maximum Location: 1.0 Mile, Southwest Sector Critical Age: Adult Critical Organ: GI-LLI Gas Contribution: 5%
Liquid Contribution: 95%
II. 2010 Oconee 40CFR190 ISFSI Dose Summary Direct and air-scatter radiation dose contributions from the onsite Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) at Oconee have been calculated and documented in the "Oconee Nuclear Site IOCFR72.212 Written Evaluations" report. As discussed in the report, the dose rate at 500 meters is 6.84 mrem per year. The nearest resident from the Oconee ISFSI is ~
1600 meters so the dose rate at the nearest resident location would be much less than 6.84 mrem per year.
The following excerpt, "C. 10CFR72.212(b)(2)(i)(C)- Requirements of 72.104", from the "Oconee Nuclear Site 10CFR72.212 Written Evaluations" report is provided to document the method used to estimate the Oconee ISFSI dose to the nearest "real individual".
The following three pages are excerpted from the Oconee Nuclear Site, "Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation",
10CFR72.212 Evaluation for Phase VI report (Rev. 0, 6/7/2010).
C. 10CFR72.212(b)(2)(i)(C)- Requirements of 72.104
"...the requirementsoff 72.104 have been met."
10 CFR 72.104, as clarified by ISG-133 6 , stipulates that the licensee perform dose evaluations which establish that any real individual beyond the controlled area boundary not sustain a dose equivalent in excess of 0.25 mSv (25- mrem) due to direct radiation from the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation and other fuel cycle operations in the area. This same dose limit is stipulated by the EPA for the fuel cycle in 40 CFR 190.10(a). Also operational restrictions for ALARA and limits for effluents must be established.
In accordance with these requirements, Duke Energy Corporation has performed dose calculations that model the characteristics (initial enrichment, burnup and Oconee Nuclear Site 10CFR72.212 Written Evaluations for Phase VI, Rev. 0 Page 20 of 27
cooling time) of existing fuel in Phases I - V of the Oconee ISFSI, together with the characteristics of assumed "design basis" fuel in Phase VI of the Oconee ISFS137 . Calculation OSC-8675 38 develops the radiation source terms used in subsequent shielding and skyshine calculations using the SCALE Code System.
More specifically, the SAS2 Module of the SCALE Code System 39 was used to create a problem-dependent pin-cell model for the purpose of building cell-weighted, multigroup cross section sets for use in subsequent depletion calculations. The ORIGEN-S Module 4° of the SCALE Code System was used to perform the fuel depletion and characterization calculations using the cross section sets created by SAS2. These characterization calculations yielded the photon and neutron source terms to be used as input to subsequent shielding calculations. As mentioned above, problem-dependent cross section sets were developed for these analyses since ORIGEN-S was used within the SAS2 sequence. Duke Energy Corporation Radiological Engineering is experienced in the use of the SCALE Code System, and the SCALE Code System is installed and maintained under the purview of the pertinent software and data quality assurance program.
The results of the radiation source term calculation were used as input to Calculation OSC-8706 4 1 to evaluate the shielding characteristics of a single Horizontal Storage Module. The MCNP Monte Carlo particle transport computer code 42 was used to perform the transport calculations and to write a surface flux file for use in subsequent skyshine calculations.
Appropriate software quality controls have been implemented for the computer codes and data used in these analyses (specifically, Calculation DPC-1201.30-00-001043 contains the verification and validation for MCNP5, while SDQA-30269-NG0 69 documents the quality control measures in place for MCNP5).
Calculation OSC-871644 uses the surface flux files developed in OSC-870641 in a repeating array representing all of the Horizontal Storage Modules in the ISFSI, including Phase VI fully loaded with spent fuel. The source description in the MCNP input is constructed with source probabilities for each Horizontal Storage Module to represent the appropriate decay time associated with each HSM.
Finally, a skyshine calculation is performed to obtain near- and far-field dose results from Phases I - VI Qf the Oconee ISFSI.
Calculation OSC-871644, Table 23.1-1, summarizes dose rate versus distance, showing a dose rate of 6.84 mRem per year at 500 meters, which is the longest distance at which results converge. The closest residence to the ISFSI is in the SW-SSW direction approximately 1 mile (-1600 meters) from the ISFSI, or 1.36 miles from the centerline of the site.45 This is conservatively farther than the distance used for computation of dose rates. The 2009 40CFRI90 Uranium Fuel Cycle Dose Calculation Results for the ONS site show a maximum total body Oconee Nuclear Site 10CFR72.212 Written Evaluations for Phase VI, Rev. 0 Page 21 of 27
dose of 0.0754 mrem per year.4 9 The total dose rate from all operations to the nearest real individual is therefore less than 7 mRem per year.
These calculations need not consider any effluent from Phase VI. The Phase VI HSMs use the NUHOMS-24PHB DSCs, which are designed as "leak-tight". Per Appendix N, Section N. 11.2.8 of the NUHOMS FSAR, accidental releases are not credible.

Radioactive Liquid Effluents 16.11.1 BASES The concentration commitment is provided to ensure that the concentration of radioactive materials released in liquid waste effluents from the site to unrestricted areas will be less than 10 times the effluent concentration levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. The concentration limit for noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-1 35 is the controlling radioisotope and its EC in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.
The basic requirements for Selected Licensee Commitments concerning effluent from nuclear power reactors are stated in 10 CFR 50.36a. Compliance with effluent Selected Licensee Commitments will ensure that average annual releases of radioactive material in effluents will be small percentages of the limits specified in the old 10 CFR 20.106 (new 10 CFR 20.1302).
The requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.36a further indicate that operational flexibility is allowed, compatible with considerations of health and safety, which may temporarily result in releases higher than such small percentages, but still within the limits specified in the old 10 CFR 20.106 which references Appendix B, Table II concentrations (MPCs). These referenced concentrations are specific values which relate to an annual dose of 500 mrem. It is further indicated in 10 CFR 50.36a that when using operational flexibility, best efforts shall be exerted to keep levels of radioactive materials in effluents as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) as set forth in 10 CFR 50 Appendix I. Also, for fresh water sites with drinking water supplies which can be potentially affected by plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility will not result in radionuclide concentrations in the finished drinking water that are in excess of the requirements-of 40 CFR 141. Therefore, to accommodate operational flexibility needed for effluent releases, the limits associated with this SLC are based on ten times the instantaneous dose rate value of 50 mrem/year to apply at all times. Compliance with the limits of the new 10 CFR 20.1001 will be demonstrated by operating within the limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, 40 CFR 141 and 40 CFR 190.
Section I of Appendix I of 10 CFR 50 states that this appendix provides specific numerical guides for design objectives and limiting conditions for operation, to assist holders of licenses for light water cooled nuclear power reactors in meeting the requirements to keep releases of radioactive material to unrestricted areas as low as practical and reasonably achievable, during normal reactor operations, including expected operational occurrences. Using the flexibility granted during unusual operating conditions, and the stated applicability of the design objectives for the Oconee Nuclear Station, Appendix I dose limits for radioactive liquid effluent releases are concluded to be not applicable during unusual operating conditions that result in the activation of the Oconee Emergency Plan.
For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the liquid effluents from the shared system are proportioned among the units sharing that system.
The requirements that the appropriate portions of this system be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This SLC implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a.

Radioactive Gaseous Effluents 16.11.2 BASES The basic requirements for Selected Licensee Commitments concerning effluent from nuclear power reactors are stated in 10CFR50.36. Compliance with effluent Selected Licensee Commitments will ensure that average annual releases of radioactive material in effluents will be small percentages of the limits specified in the old I0CFR20.106 (new IOCFR20.1302). The requirements contained in IOCFR50.36a further indicate that operational flexibility is allowed, compatible with considerations of health and safety, which may temporarily result in releases higher than such small percentages, but still within the limits specified in the old 10CFR20.106 which references Appendix B, Table II concentrations (MPCs). These referenced concentrations are specific values which relate to an annual dose of 500 mrem to the total body, 3000 mrem to the skin, and 1500 mrem to an infant via the milk animal-milk-infant pathway. It is further indicated in IOCFR50.36a that when using operational flexibility, best efforts shall be exerted to keep levels of radioactive materials in effluents as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) as set forth in IOCFR50 Appendix I. Therefore, to accommodate operational flexibility needed for effluent releases, the limits associated with gaseous release rate SLCs will be maintained at the current instantaneous dose rate limit for noble gases of 500 mrem/year to the total body and 3000 mrem/year to the skin; and for Iodine-1 31, for Iodine-1 33, for tritium, and for all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days. an instantaneous dose rate limit of 1500 mrem/year.
The ODCM calculational methods for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials will be consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculating of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1,. October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors."
Equations in the ODCM are provided for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate commitments for radioiodines, radioactive material in particulate form and radionuclides other than noble gases are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man, in the unrestricted area. The pathways which are examined in the development of these calculations are: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides into green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, 3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.
The requirement that the appropriate portions of these systems be used when specified provides reasonable assurance that the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." This commitment implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and design objective Section lID of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.

Radioactive Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 16.11.3 BASES The radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with NRC approved methods in the ODCM to assure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding 10 times the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The operability and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with NRC approved methods in the ODCM to assure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding applicable dose limits in SLC 16.11.2. The operability end use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
For certain applicable cases, grab samples or flow estimates are required at frequencies between every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> end every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> upon RIA removal from service. SLC 16.11.3 does not explicitly require Action (grab samples or flow estimates) to be initiated immediately upon RIA removal from service, when removal is for the purposes of sample filter changeouts, setpoint adjustments, service checks, or routine maintenance. Therefore, during the defined short, controlled outages, Action is not required.
For the cases in which Action is defined as continuous sampling by auxiliary equipment (Action L) initiation of continuous sampling by auxiliary sampling equipment requires approximately 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. One hour is the accepted reasonable time to initiate collect and change samples.
Therefore. for the defined short, controlled outages (not to exceed 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />), Action is not required.
Failures such as blown instrument fuses, defective indicators, and faulted amplifiers are, in many cases, revealed by alarm or annunciator action. Comparison of output and/or state of independent channels measuring the same variable supplements this type of built-in surveillance. Based on experience in operation of both conventional and nuclear systems, when the unit is in operation, the minimum checking frequency stated is deemed adequate.

Radiological Environmental Monitoring 16.11.6 BASES The environmental monitoring program required by this commitment provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from the station operation. This monitoring program thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and modeling of exposure pathways. The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first three years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.
The detection capabilities required by Table 16.11.6-2 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. The specified lower limits of detection correspond to less than the 10 CFR 50. Appendix 1, design objective dose-equivalent of 45 mrem/year for atmospheric releases to the most sensitive organ and individual. The land use census commitment is provided to assure that changes in the use of unrestricted areas are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are provided if required by the results of this census.
The requirements for participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to assure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of a quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are reasonably valid.
The following requirement(s) were relocated from the CTS 6.4.4.f during the conversion to ITS.
The station shall have a program to monitor the radiation and radionuclides in the environs of the plant. The program shall provide (1) representative measurements of radioactivity in the highest potential exposure pathways, and (2) verification of the accuracy of the effluent monitoring program and modeling of environmental exposure pathways. The program shall (1) be contained in UFSAR Chapter 16, (2) conform to the guidance of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50, and (3) include the following:
- 1. Monitoring, sampling, analysis, and reporting of radiation and radionuclides in the environment in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM;
- 2. A Land Use Census to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census; and,
- 3. Participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive materials in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environmental monitoring.

Groundwater Protection Initiative
2010 Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report Ground Water Well Data Duke Energy implemented a Ground Water Protection program in 2007. This program was developed to ensure timely and effective management of situations involving inadvertent releases of licensed material to ground water. As part of this program, Oconee monitored sixty-six ground water wells during 2010. Tritium activity in wells GM-7R and GM-7DR was reported per NEI 07-07 in February, 2010. The source of this activity is still under investigation.
Wells are sampled quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Ground water samples are regularly analyzed for tritium and gamma emitters with selected wells being analyzed for difficult to detect radionuclides. No gamma or difficult to detect radionuclides (other than naturally occurring radionuclides) were identified in well samples during 2010.
Results from sampling during 2010 are shown in the table below.

-I ATTACHMENT 30-DAY REPORT PER NEI 07-07 [FINAL],
INDUSTRY GROUND WATER PROTECTION INITIATIVE, OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 AND 3 This report is being submitted in support of NEI 07-07, Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative.
- a. This report was generated as a result of the ground water monitoring results for wells GM-7R and GM-7DR. These results triggered the co~mmunication protocol of NEI 07-07 on February 8, 2010.
ii. Samples obtained from groundwater monitoring wells contained tritium in the following concentrations:
- a. GM-7R; 24,400 picocuries per liter (pCi/I)
- b. GM-7DR; 35,400 picocuries per liter (pCi/I) iii. On February 8, 2010, Oconee was notified by the Duke Energy Environmental Lab that samples taken from ground water monitoring wells GM-7R and GM-7DR on January 26, 2010, contained tritium levels that triggered the NEI 07-07 ground water communication protocol. On February 9, 2010, Duke Energy verbally notified the NRC (NRC Event Notification number 45690) and appropriate state and local agencies of the on-site environmental monitoring well sample results indicated in (ii) above.
Elevated tritium levels in ground water samples were identified in well GM-7R and adjacent well GM-7 in 2008. Duke Energy began investigation by pressure testing the Liquid Waste Discharge (LWD) piping. A portion of the LWD piping is located in the vicinity of the area showing elevated tritium concentrations. This piping was pressure tested from the Turbine Building to Keowee Hydro. This testing did not indicate any leakage present.
Remote video inspection of the Turbine Building Sump Monitor Tank discharge piping along the east side of the Turbine Building has been conducted. This piping is immediately up-gradient of GM-7 wells. As part of the investigation, Duke Energy has limited pumping Turbine Building Sump water into this yard drainage system.
A hydro-geologic model has been developed by an independent engineering firm with expertise in groundwater flow. Since December 2009, Duke Energy has installed 14 additional ground water monitoring wells and installation of additional wells is in progress. The additional wells will be used, along with existing wells, to refine the model and define the horizontal and vertical extent of tritium observed in ground water.
2 ATTACHMENT 30-DAY REPORT PER NEI 07-07 [FINAL],
INDUSTRY GROUND WATER PROTECTION INITIATIVE, OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 AND 3 iv. The wells displaying tritium activity are ground water monitoring wells, and not drinking water wells. Samples from surrounding ground water monitoring wells indicate that tritium has not migrated to the site boundary. South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) sampling of residential wells around the Oconee Nuclear Station, and Duke Energy samples from surrounding monitoring wells indicate that tritium in ground water has not migrated off the plant site. Therefore there is no public exposure pathway and Duke Energy determined that there is no estimated annual dose to any member of the public associated with this event.
V. Since there is no estimated annual dose increase to a member of the public from this event, no corrective actions are necessary to reduce the projected annual dose to a member of the public to less than the limits of 10 CFR 50 Appendix 1.
Attachment 10 Oconee Nuclear Site Inoperable Monitoring Equipment 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40, Condenser Steam Air Ejector Off Gas Monitors, were declared out-of-service on August 5, 2010, at 1745 due to water carryover in the detector.
Selected Licensee Commitment (SLIC) 16.11.3, Condition C, required action to return 1RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 to service within 30 days has not been completed.
Because condensation is visible in the rotameters for 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40, it is plausible that water droplets condensing on the face of the detector for 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 can effectively shield some of the beta energy from expected sources (Xe-1 33). This shielding effect would
-adversely impact the sensitivity of 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 to detect and alarm for increased activity resulting from a primary to secondary leak. The amount of water within the sample chambers for 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 is unknown. Since the amount of water and its relative effect on sensitivity cannot be quantified, as a conservative measure 1 RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 were declared inoperable. However, the effluent pathway is still being monitored by 1 RIA-45 and 2RIA-45 Unit Vent Monitors.
On September 4, 2010, at 1745, Oconee Units 1 and 2 entered S.L.C. 16.11.3, Condition D, which states that the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report to the NRC shall include an explanation of why the inoperability of liquid or gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation, out of service for greater than 30 days, was not corrected in a timely manner.
A modification is being developed to either eliminate the water in the system or use another type of detector that is not affected by water. A modification will require more than 30 days to complete either of these actions. The modification will be implemented for 1 RIA-40, 2RIA-40 and 3RIA-40. Until 1RIA-40 and 2RIA-40 are returned to service, SLC.16.11.3, Condition C, will remain in effect for Units I and 2.
3RIA-40, Condenser Steam Air Ejector Off Gas Monitor, has been calibrated and there is no indication of condensation on the rotometers. Therefore, 3RIA-40 is functional and capable of meeting its design requirements for Unit 3.
