SUMMARY

(Conrlnue on Page 2) BACKGROUND During a license renewal public meeting on September 13,2006 a public stakeholder (Janet Tauro) asked the NRC a question concerning Oyster Creek's environmental release rate and the "Tooth Fairy" Project. The Senior Resident Inspector (Marc S. Ferdas) committed to provide Mrs. Tauro a response to her questions.

CONVERSATION RECORD ME. Tauro returned my telephone call on October 25,2006. During the public meeting Mrs. Tauro stated that Oyster Creek had the second highest radiation release rate in the country.

She gathered the information from a web site (www.reirs.com).

I told Mrs. Tauro that X could not confirm how Oyster Creek compares to other nuclear plants because the web site did not list the plants in ranking of release mtes.

I informed Mrs. Tauro that Oyster Creek's airborne release rate was very low and well below federal limits (100 mrem). The latest data for airborne release for Oyster Creek llsted on the web site was from 2004. The annual dose was calculatad as 0.00198 mrem. Therefore Oyster Creek airborne release is well below federal limits. For comparison, I informed Mrs# Tauro that the average person is exposed to approximately 300 mrem yearly from natural sources.
