Dear Sir or Madam:
In accordance with Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO), Unit 1 Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.2 and Unit 2 TS 6.6.2, the submittal of an Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) for the previous year is required by May 15 of each year. The subject ANO report for the calendar year 2016 was submitted on May 4, 2017, as noted in Reference 2 above.
Historically, Attachment 2 of the report, "Interlaboratory Comparison Program," has contained a summary of analyses that did not meet specified acceptance criteria. However, due to a change in departmental personnel responsible for AREOR development, Attachment 2 of the Reference 2 report included the specific detailed analyses (instead of a summary of the results), which contained information marked as confidential to the associated vendor. Therefore, the
ANO AREOR for 2016 is hereby resubmitted in it s entirety (for convenience), replacing the detailed and confidential information previously included in Attachment 2 with a summary of the analysis comparison results, consistent with historical ANO AREOR reports. Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requests the NRC replace the previous May 4, 2017 (Reference 2) correspondence accordingly. Except for Attachment 2 of the report, no data contained in the Reference 2 correspondence has been changed or revised.
This report fulfills the reporting require ments of the TSs referenced above.

The radionuclides detected by the radiological environmental monitoring program during 2016 were significantly below the regulatory limits. The operation of the ANO station during 2016 had no harmful radiological effects nor resulted in any irreversible damage to the local environment.
Based on ANO's review, no environmental samp les from the monitoring program equaled or exceeded the reporting levels for radioactivity concentration due to ANO effluents when averaged over any calendar quarter. A map of all sampling locations and a corresponding table providing the respective distances and directions from the reactor building is included in the Reference 1 correspondence.
This letter contains no new commitments.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me.

Page 2 of 43 Summary The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) presents data obtained
through analyses of environmental samples collected for Arkansas Nuclear One's (ANO's) Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for the period January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016. This report fulfills the requirements of ANO Unit 1 Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.2 and Unit 2 TS 6.6.2.
During 2016, as in previous years, ANO detected tritium attributable to plant operations at the discharge location (Station 8) where previously monitored liquid radioactive effluent from the plant is periodically discharged in accordance with the regulatory criteria established in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). ANO personnel routinely monitor results from this area in order to note any trends. The review of results from this area indicates tritium levels in the surface water media continue to be below regulatory reporting limits and are consistent with concentrations that would typically be seen at this location as discussed in Section 2.3 of this AREOR.
Gross beta concentrations at the Station 14 (City of Russellville) indicator drinking water location continue to remain consistent with previous operational measurements and similar to the levels detected at the Station 57 (City of Danville) control drinking water location. Slightly elevated levels of gross beta were observed in 2016 samples. These samples were low in activity and occurred in both indicator and control locations. There are no trends of concern from these results. Data from 2014 and 2015 are included in this report.
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program
ANO established the REMP prior to the station becoming operational (1974) to provide data on background radiation and radioactivity normally present in the area. ANO has continued to monitor the environment by sampling air, water, sediment, fish and food products, as well as measuring radiation directly. ANO also samples milk, if milk-producing animals are present commercially within five miles of the plant.
The REMP includes sampling indicator and control locations within an approximate 20-mile radius of the plant. The REMP utilizes indicator locations near the site to show any increases or buildup of radioactivity that might occur due to station operation, and control locations farther away from the site to indicate the presence of only naturally occurring radioactivity. ANO personnel compare indicator results with control and preoperational results to assess any impact ANO operation might have had on the surrounding environment.
In 2016, ANO personnel collected environmental samples for radiological analysis. Personnel compared results of indicator locations with control locations and previous studies and concluded that overall no significant relationship exists between ANO operation and effect on the plant environs. The review of 2016 data, in most cases, showed undetectable radiation levels in the environment and in all instances, no definable trends related to significant pathways associated with ANO.
Harmful Effects or Irreversible Damage
The REMP monitoring did not detect any harmful effects or evidence of irreversible damage in 2016. Therefore, no analysis or planned course of action to alleviate problems was necessary.
Enclosure to 0CAN101701
Page 3 of 43 Reporting Levels ANO's review indicates that no samples equaled or exceeded reporting levels for radioactivity concentration in environmental samples due to ANO effluents, as outlined in ODCM Table 2.5-2, when averaged over any calendar quarter. Therefore, 2016 results did not trigger any Radiological Monitoring Program special reports.
Radioactivity Not Attributable to ANO The ANO REMP has detected radioactivity attributable to other sources. These include the 25th Chinese nuclear test explosion in 1980 and the radioactivity plume release due to reactor core degradation at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. Prior to 1981, the ANO REMP detected radioactivity resulting from nuclear weapons testing, with Cesium-137 continuing to be periodically detected. In 2011, ANO detected I-131 radioactivity attributed to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident (March 11, 2011).
Comparison to Federal and State Programs
ANO personnel compared REMP data to state monitoring programs as results became available. Historically, the programs used for comparison have included the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) Direct Radiation Monitoring Network and the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH).
The NRC TLD Network Program was discontinued in 1998. Historically these results have compared to those from the ANO REMP. ANO TLD results continue to remain similar to the historical average and continue to verify that plant operation is not affecting the ambient radiation levels in the environment.
The ADH and the ANO REMP entail similar radiological environmental monitoring program requirements. These programs include collecting air samples and splitting or sharing sample media such as water, sediment and fish. Both programs have obtained similar results over previous years.
Sample Deviations Milk The REMP did not include milk sampling within five miles of ANO in 2016 due to unavailability. The ODCM requires collection of milk samples, if available commercially within 5 miles of the plant. ANO personnel collected vegetation samples to monitor the ingestion pathway, as specified in the ODCM, because of milk unavailability.
Lower Levels of Detection (LLDs) during this reporting period were within the acceptable limits required by Table 2.5-1 of the ODCM.
Enclosure to 0CAN101701
Page 4 of 43 Air Samples Listed below are air sampler deviations that occurred during 2016 due to electrical power outages and equipment failure. These deviations did not result in exceeding LLD values specified in the ODCM. As described in ODCM, B 2.5.1, Actions A.1 and A.2, deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule due to malfunction of sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons.
Station Sampling Period Comment 7 02/9/2016 - 02/23/2016 As documented on 02/23/2016, totalizer run time for the listed sampling period was approximately 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> less than expected. The totalizer was verified to be not advancing as required.

Unavailable Results None Program Modifications The following revisions were made to OP-1608.005, "Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP)" in 2016. Collectively, these changes were made through revision to the procedure, OP-1608.005, and Revisions 43 and 44 and to the ODCM.
ANO Site Procedure OP-1608.005 Editorial changes throughout the procedure to improve place-keeping and clarity without changing the process or intent. Clarification was provided on the way to verify the composite sampler flow rate as 45 - 95 ml/hr. The procedure was changed to provide a place to document this verification. The reference to a bag holding post-accident snow or ice samples was deleted because container(s) holding collection of samples may be a box or plastic tote. No radiological requirements or controls were diluted or negatively affected by this change because field radiological checks are now required for each sample rather than a collection of samples in a bag. Deleted the steps that state: Process and analyze samples in accordance with OP-1905.002, "Offsite Emergency Monitoring". These samples are not analyzed by ANO Chemistry, but are instead the Offsite Team Coordinator's responsibility. Location of sampling Station #55 was changed due to disturbance of the previously used site. The TLD at Station 149 was moved from the former location to one across the road on a roadside utility pole. The move was made to minimize TLD disturbance due to vandalism. The TLD at Station 150 was moved from the former location to a utility pole on the south side of the parking lot entrance. The move was made to minimize TLD disturbance due to vandalism Enclosure to 0CAN101701
Page 6 of 43 Added references that address the use of calibrated flow meters at the REMP air sampling stations. Added the requirement for the use of the installation of calibrated flow meters as opposed to periodic verification of installed, non-calibrated meters using a calibrated meter. Also calibrated meters should be changed out every 6 months. Replaced the use of poly bags with poly bottles to accommodate current counting geometries. Also 3.9 liter jugs replaced one-gallon sample containers. This change does not affect any process, but clarifies the containers required to conform to existing Chemistry counting capabilities. Clarified the existing process to give correct sequence of steps. This change was prompted by verbal comments from the reviewing NRC Inspector during environmental inspection, June 2016.
ODCM Rev 026 - Changed location of control broadleaf vegetation sample site from current location at intersection of Arkansas Highways 27 and 154 to within the Ozark National Forest at the intersection of Forest Service Roads 36 and 1618A. The change was performed due to forest and broadleaf eradication of previous control location. Rev 027 - Basis (B) 2.5.1, Radiological Environmental Monitoring, background data is updated to include explanation for sample location choice associated with Air Station #2. Revised explanation of air station samples in highest D/Q and also in the vicinity of a community. Defined community as it relates to this location.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Radiological
Environmental Monitoring Program
ANO established the REMP to ensure that plant operating controls properly function to minimize any associated radiation endangerment to human health or the environment. The REMP is designed for:
Analyzing applicable pathways for anticipated types and quantities of radionuclides released into the environment.
Considering the possibility of a buildup of long-lived radionuclides in the environment and identifying physical and biological accumulations that may contribute to human exposures.
Considering the potential radiation exposure to plant and animal life in the environment surrounding ANO.
Correlating levels of radiation and radioactivity in the environment with radioactive releases from station operation.
1.2 Pathways
Monitored The airborne, direct radiation, waterborne, and ingestion pathways are monitored as required by the ODCM. A description of the ANO REMP used to monitor the exposure pathways is described in Table 1.1 and shown in Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3.
Section 2.0 of this report provides a discussion of 2016 sampling results and Section 3.0 provides a summary of results for the monitored exposure pathways.
1.3 Land Use Census ANO personnel conduct the land use census every 24 months as required by ODCM Surveillance (S) 2.5.2.1. The land use census was last conducted in 2015. This census serves to identify changes in land use within five miles of ANO that would require modifications to the REMP or ODCM. The most important concerns during this census are to determine location in each sector of the nearest:
- 1) Residence 2) Animal milked for human consumption
- 3) Garden of greater than 500 square feet producing fresh leafy (broadleaf) vegetables*
- ANO personnel did not perform a garden census since an ODCM Limitation (L) 2.5.2 Note allows the routine sampling of broadleaf vegetation in the highest D/Q sector near the site boundary in lieu of the garden census.
Enclosure to 0CAN101701
Page 8 of 43 The method used by ANO personnel for conducting the land use census was as follows:
ANO personnel conducted door-to-door (drive by) field surveys in order to locate the nearest resident in each meteorological sector.
Consultation with local agricultural authorities was used to identify commercial milk providers within five-miles of the Unit 1 reactor building.
As a result of these surveys, the following information was obtained in each meteorological sector:
- 1) Nearest permanent residence 2) Nearest milking animal ANO personnel identify locations on the map, measure distances to ANO (or use a GPS system), and record results.
Locations, if any, are identified which yield a calculated dose or dose commitments greater than those currently calculated in the ODCM.
ANO personnel compare results to previous census.

2.0 Interpretation
and Trends of Results 2.1 Air Particulate and Radioiodine Sample Results
The REMP has detected radioactivity in the airborne pathway attributable to other sources. These include the 25th Chinese nuclear test explosion in 1980, the radioactive plume release due to reactor core degradation at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986, and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident (Mach 11, 2011).
In 2016 there were no samples above the LLD for I-131. Indicator gross beta air particulate results for 2016 were comparable to results obtained from 2005-2015 of the operational REMP, but less than 2013 when the annual average was 0.043. Also, the 2016 gross beta annual average was less than the average for preoperational levels. Results are reported as annual average picocuries per cubic meter (pCi/m 3). Monitoring Period Result 2005 - 2015 (Minimum Value) 0.018 2016 Average Value 0.040 2005 - 2015 (Maximum Value) 0.043 Preoperational 0.050 In the absence of plant-related gamma radionuclides, gross beta activity is attributed to naturally occurring radionuclides. Table 3.1, which includes gross beta concentrations and provides a comparison of the indicator and control means and ranges, emphasizes the consistent trends seen in this pathway to support the presence of naturally occurring activity. Therefore, it can be concluded that the airborne pathway continues to be unaffected by ANO operations.
2.2 Thermoluminescent
Dosimetry (TLD) Sample Results ANO reports measured dose as net exposure (field reading less transit reading) normalized to 92 days and relies on comparison of the indicator locations to the control as a measure of plant impact. ANO's comparison of the inner ring and special interest area TLD results to the control, as seen in Table 3.1, identified no noticeable trend that would indicate that the ambient radiation levels are being affected by plant operations. In addition, the inner ring value of 8.0 millirem (mrem) shown in Table 3.1 for 2016 is within the historical bounds of 2005 - 2015 annual average results, which have ranged from 6.9 to 8.5 mrem. Overall, ANO concluded that the ambient radiation levels are not being affected by plant operations.
2.3 Water
Sample Results Analytical results for 2016 drinking water and ground water samples were similar to those reported in previous years. Gamma radionuclides analytical results for 2016 surface water samples were similar to those reported in previous years. Tritium in ANO surface water indicator samples continues to be detected, but at levels below those experienced in 2013 and below the ODCM-required LLD. These results are further explained below.
Enclosure to 0CAN101701
Page 19 of 43 Surface water samples were collected and analyzed for gamma radionuclides and tritium. Gamma radionuclides were below detectable limits which is consistent with results seen in previous operational years. Tritium continues to be detected at the indicator location (Station 8) where previously monitored liquid radioactive effluent from the plant is periodically discharged in accordance with the regulatory criteria established in the ODCM and, for 2016, at levels considerably lower than the ODCM-required LLD of 3000 pCi/l. Furthermore, unlike the elevated tritium levels observed in 2013 attributable to particular plant events, no elevated levels attributable to particular events were observed in 2016. Results are reported as annual average
pCi/l. Monitoring Period Result 2005 - 2015 (Minimum Value) 554.5 2016 Value 932.25 2005 - 2015 (Maximum Value) 2940* Preoperational 200.0
- Indicates value from 2013 ANO personnel have noted no definable increasing trends associated with the tritium levels at the discharge location. Levels detected during 2016 and previous operational years have been well below regulatory reporting limits. Therefore, the operation of ANO had no definable impact on this waterborne pathway during 2016 and levels of radionuclides remain similar to those obtained in previous operational years.
Drinking water samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control). Although ANO personnel utilize Station 14 (City of Russellville) as an indicator location due to the potential for the drinking water pathway to exist, the City of Russellville has not withdrawn water from Lake Dardanelle in the past several years.
Drinking water samples were analyzed for gross beta radionuclides, I-131, gamma radionuclides and tritium. Gamma radionuclides, gross beta radionuclides, I-131, and tritium concentrations were below the LLD limits at the indicator and control locations, which is consistent with 2013 and comparable to the 2005 - 2015 preoperational and operational years as shown below. Results from 2016 are summarized in Table 3.1. Results are reported as
annual average pCi/L.

Enclosure to 0CAN101701
Page 20 of 43 ANO personnel have noted no definable trends associated with drinking water results at the indicator location. Therefore, the operation of ANO had no definable impact on this waterborne pathway during 2016 and levels of radionuclides remain similar to those obtained in previous operational years.
Groundwater samples were collected from four REMP locations (2 control, and 2 indicator locations). During 2011, ANO incorporated sixteen additional groundwater monitoring wells into the Groundwater Protection Initiative (GPI) site program. Sample data are compiled, organized and reviewed annually to:
Analyze for increasing or decreasing trends at individual sample points, wells or groups of wells. Review the radionuclides detected to determine whether changes should be made to the analysis sites or sampling frequencies for each sampling location.
Evaluate the locations of radionuclides in ground water to determine if changes should be made to the sampling locations.
Review current investigation levels and determine if changes should be made.
Determine if any change to the ODCM is required.
Determine if a corrective action/remediation is required.
Groundwater samples from the four REMP locations were analyzed for tritium and gamma radionuclides. Tritium, gamma, and gross beta concentrations were below the LLD limits at all four locations. Listed below is a comparison of 2016 indicator results to past operational years.
Results are reported as annual average pCi/l. REMP Groundwater data are captured in Tables 8.1 and 8.2. ANO operations had no significant impact on the environment or public by this waterborne pathway.

2.4 Sediment
Sample Results Sediment samples were collected from two locations in 2016 and analyzed for gamma radionuclides. Listed below is a comparison of 2016 indicator results to the 2005 - 2015 operational years. ANO operations had no signifi cant impact on the environment or public by this waterborne pathway. Results are reported as pCi/kg.
Monitoring Period Result 2005 - 2015 (Minimum Value) 41.79 2016 Value < LLD 2005 - 2015 (Maximum Value) 666.8 Since reporting levels for radionuclides in sediment have not been established, an evaluation of potential dose to the public from this media was performed as shown in Attachment 3.
2.5 Milk Sample Results Milk samples were not collected during 2016 due to the unavailability of indicator locations within five-miles of ANO.
2.6 Fish Sample Results Fish samples were collected from two locations and analyzed for gamma radionuclides. In 2016, gamma radionuclides were below detectable limits which are consistent with the preoperational monitoring period and operational results since 1997. Therefore, based on these measurements, ANO operations had no significant radiological impact upon the environment or public by this ingestion pathway.
2.7 Food Product Sample Results The REMP has detected radionuclides prior to 1990 that are attributable to other sources. These include the radioactive plume release due to reactor core degradation at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986 and atmospheric weapons testing.
In 2016, food product samples were collected when available from two locations and analyzed for Iodine-131 and gamma radionuclides. The 2016 levels remained undetectable, as has been the case in previous years. Therefore, based on these measurements, ANO operations had no significant radiological impact upon the environment or public by this ingestion pathway.
2.8 Interlaboratory
Comparison Results Teledyne Brown Engineering analyzed interlaboratory comparison samples to fulfill the requirements of ODCM Section 2.5.3. Attachment 2 contains these results.
2.9 Land Use Census Results The latest land use census (performed in 2015) did not identify any new locations that yielded a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than those currently calculated (see Table 2.1).

Page 22 of 43 Also, the land use census identified no milk-producing animals within a five-mile radius of the plant site. ANO personnel chose not to perform a garden census in 2015, but instead to sample
broadleaf vegetation which is allowed by ODCM Section L 2.5.2. As allowed by NRC Regulatory Guide 1.21, Revision 2, Section 3.2, broadleaf vegetation sampling in the meteorological sector (Sector 13) with a D/Q value within 10% of the sector with the highest D/Q (Sector 12) was performed.
A land use census was not conducted for the year 2016. The next land use census is scheduled to be conducted in 2017.

ATTACHMENT 2 INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM
Enclosure to 0CAN101701
Page 41 of 43 Interlaboratory Comparison Report provided by Teledyne Brown Engineering For the Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) laboratory, 156 out of 160 analyses performed met the specified acceptance criteria. Four analyses (Milk - Sr-90, Vegetation - Sr-90, and Water - H-3 samples) did not meet the specified acceptance criteria for the following reasons and were addressed through the TBE Corrective Action Program.
Note: The Department of Energy (DOE) Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP) samples are created to mimic conditions found at DOE sites which do not resemble typical environmental samples obtained at commercial nuclear power facilities.
- 1. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2016 air particulate cross check sample is now being provided to TBE by Analytics. MAPEP's policy is to evaluate as failed non-reported nuclides that were reported in the previous study. Non-Conformance Report (NCR) 16-14 1a. Since the Sr-90 was reported in the previous MAPEP study but not in this study, MAPEP evaluated the Sr-90 for Soil as failed. NCR 16-14 1b. The MAPEP March 2016 Sr-90 in vegetation was evaluated as failing a false positive test. In reviewing the data that was reported vs. the data in LIMS (TBE's work management database), it was found that the error was incorrectly reported as 0.023 rather than the correct value of 0.230. If the value had been reported with the activity with the correct uncertainty of 0.301 +/- 0.230, MAPEP would have evaluated the result as acceptable. NCR 16-14
- 2. Teledyne Brown Engineering's Analytics' March 2016 milk Sr-90 result of 15 +/- 0.125 pCi/L was higher than the known value of 11.4 pCi/L with a ratio of 1.32. The upper ratio of 1.30 (acceptable with warning) was exceeded. After an extensive review of the data it is believed the technician did not rinse the filtering apparatus properly and some cross contamination from one of the internal laboratory spike samples may have been transferred to the analytics sample. We feel the issue is specific to the March 2016 Analytics sample. NCR 16-26
- 3. Teledyne Brown Engineering's Environmental Resource Associates (ERA) November 2016 sample for H-3 in water was evaluated as failing. A result of 918 pCi/L was reported incorrectly due to a data entry issue. If the correct value of 9180 had been reported, ERA would have evaluated the result as acceptable. NCR 16-34
- 4. Teledyne Brown Engineering's Analytics' December 2016 milk Sr-90 sample result of 14.7 +/- .26 pCi/L was higher than the known value of 10 pCi/L with a ratio of 1.47. The upper ratio of 1.30 (acceptable with warning) was exceeded. The technician entered the wrong aliquot into the LIMS system. To achieve a lower error term, TBE uses a larger aliquot of 1.2 L (normally we use .6 L for client samples). If the technician had entered an aliquot of 1.2 L into the LIMS system, the result would have been 12.2 pCi/L, which would have been considered acceptable. NCR 16-35

ATTACHMENT 3 SEDIMENT DOSE CALCULATIONS
Enclosure to 0CAN101701
Page 43 of 43 Sediment Sample Results Sediment samples were collected from two locations in 2016 and analyzed for gamma radionuclides. Although Cesium-137 has been detected in previous years prior to 2016, all gamma radionuclides from 2016 samples were below detectable limits. These results are consistent with 2015 results where all gamma radionuclides were also below detectable limits.
Therefore, ANO operations had no significant impact on the environment or public by this waterborne pathway.
In previous reports, ANO has included annual maximum dose calculations to the skin and total body. However since gamma radionuclides were below detectable limits, no calculation is being provided since there is no associated dose.
