SUMMARY
OF GASEOUS RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS The quantities of radioactive material released in gaseous effluents are summarized in Tables 1A and 1B. Plant Vent and Containment Vent releases are modeled as mixed mode and the Air Ejector is modeled as ground level release. In 2009, Ginna completed installation of new counting room gamma spectroscopy equipment and effluent calculation software. Verification and validation against past equipment and software was performed and the results were acceptable. The response of the new higher efficiency detectors has resulted in more accurate response to cross-check standards.

SUMMARY
OF LIQUID RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS The quantities of radioactive material released in liquid effluents are summarized in tables 2A and 2B.
5.0 SOLID WASTE The quantities of radioactive material released in shipments of solid waste transported from the site during the reporting period are summarized in Table 3.
Principal nuclides were determined by gamma spectroscopy and non-gamma emitters were calculated from scaling factors determined by an independent laboratory from representative samples of that waste type. The majority of Dry Active Waste is processed utilizing an off-site processor who reduces the volume and then sends the waste for burial.
5
6.0 LOWER LIMIT OF DETECTION The required Lower Limit of Detection, (LLD), as defined in the ODCM, was met for all samples used in reporting effluent releases for 2009.
The following sample failed to meet the a posteriori MDA for high background activity in the samples.
"A" Monitor Tank Release 2009004 failed to meet MDA for Fe-59 at 5.53E-07 uCi/cc and Zn-65 at 6.82E-07 uCi/cc.
7.0 RADIOLOGICAL IMPACT An assessment of doses to the hypothetical maximally exposed individual member of the public from gaseous and liquid effluents was performed for locations representing the maximum calculated dose in occupied sectors. Meteorological sectors from WNW through ENE are entirely over Lake Ontario. In all cases, doses were well below Technical Specification limits as defined in the ODCM. Doses were assessed based upon historical meteorological conditions considering the noble gas exposure, inhalation, ground plane exposure, and ingestion pathways. The ingestion pathways considered were the fruit, vegetable, fish, drinking water, goat's milk, cow's milk and cow meat pathways. Results of this assessment are presented in Tables 4A and 4B.
7.1 Total Dose 40CFR190 limits the total dose to members of the public due to radiation and radioactivity from uranium fuel cycle sources to:
< 25 mrem total body or any organ and;
< 75 mrem thyroid for a calendar year.
Using the maximum exposure and uptake pathways, the maximum liquid pathways, and the maximum direct radiation measurements at the site boundary, yield the following dose summaries to the hypothetical maximally exposed individual member of the public:
11.7 mrem total body (11.7 mrem direct radiation plus 1.4E-2 mrem all other pathways).
1.03E-2 mrem GI-LLI (maximum organ dose).
6
8.0 METEOROLOGICAL DATA The annual summary of hourly meteorological data collected during 2009 is not included with this report, but can be made available at the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.
9.0 LAND USE CENSUS CHANGES There were no major changes in critical receptor location for dose calculations during the reporting period. Minor changes in critical receptor locations and distances came from utilizing updated mapping technologies (hand held global positioning system and Google Earth software). There were no significant changes in land use within 5 miles of the plant. Additional new homes are being built at a rate comparable to recent years.
10.0 CHANGES TO THE OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL The ODCM was revised to remove unnecessary dosimeter terminology (Thermoluminescent). This revision does not change the number of or location of REMP dosimeters. ODCM revision 24 is included with this submittal.
11.0 CHANGES TO THE PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM There were no changes to the Process Control Program during the reporting period.
12.0 MAJOR CHANGES TO RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS There were no major changes to the Radwaste Treatment Systems during the reporting period.
13.0 INOPERABLE MONITORS
- RM-14A was out of service from 3/23/09 through 3/30/09 for corrective maintenance.
" RM-15 was out of service from 3/25/09 through 4/20/09 for corrective maintenance.
" R-1 1 out of service due to paper tearing 6/24/09 through 7/2/09.

14.0 CHANGES TO PREVIOUS ANNUAL EFFLUENT OPERATING REPORTS RPA-RW-PCP, "Process Control Program", was revised in 2007 under Procedure Change Request 2007-3427-001. These changes were to update titles, remove references that no longer existed, remove a configuration that is no longer utilized, and to remove the Green is Clean process that is no longer employed. The changes did not change the intent of the Procedure or the PCP.
This change was not included in the 2007 Annual Radioactive Release report as required under Section 6.2 of the ODCM.
RPA-RW-PCP, "Process Control Program", was revised in 2008 under Procedure Change Request 2008-2107-001. This change provided clarification of when Ce-144 may be used to determine transuranics. The change does not change the intent of the PCP. This change was not included in the 2008 Annual Radioactive Release report as required under Section 6.2 of the ODCM.
15.0 GROUNDWATER MONITORING In accordance with R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant's Chemistry procedures, environmental groundwater monitoring wells are sampled quarterly. There is a total of 9 onsite groundwater monitoring wells:
" Three located adjacent to the All Volatiles Treatment (AVT) Building, screened at 3 depths to include groundwater from top of the water table down to bedrock.
" Three located east of the Screenhouse, screened at 3 depths to include groundwater from top of the water table down to bedrock.
" One to the west of the Screenhouse.
" One to the southeast of the Contaminated Storage Building (CSB).
" One located south of the Butler Building and upgradient from the reactor containment building, which serves as a control sample point.
Groundwater samples are analyzed for tritium to a detection limit of 500 pCi/L.
In 2009, no radioactivity was detected in groundwater samples.
Results of the groundwater monitoring well sampling are presented in Table 5.
