Radiological Safety & Control Services 91 Portsmouth Avenue Stratham, NH 03885-2468

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

Tables 1 and 2 summarize the quantity of radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, respectively, for each quarter of 2012. There were no gaseous or liquid releases in 2012. Table 3 summarizes waste shipped off-site for disposal for each half year of 2012. There were no waste shipments in 2012.

Appendices A through C indicate the status of reportable items per the requirements of the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). There were no reportable items in 2012.
