1.0 Introduction This Radioactive Effluent Release Report, for Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) Unit 1 and Unit 2, is submitted as required by Technical Specification 5.6.3 and Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Administrative Control 6.9.1.4 for the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. Data in this report were calculated in accordance with the CPNPP ODCM using the Canberra OpenEMS software. 1.1 Executive Summary The radioactive effluent monitoring program for 2018 was conducted as described in the following report. Results of the monitoring program indicate continued effort to maintain the release of radioactive effluents to the environment as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). In June 2009, the NRC provided revised guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.21, Measuring, Evaluating and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste, Revision 2, establishing an updated approach for identifying principal radionuclides. Because the overall quantity of radioactive releases has steadily decreased due to improvements in power plant operations, Carbon-14 (C-14) now qualifies as a "principal radionuclide" (anything greater than one percent of overall radioactivity in effluents) under federal regulations at many plants. In other words, C-14 has not increased and C-14 is not a new nuclear plant emission. Rather, improvements in the mitigation of other isotopes have made C-14 more prominent. Attachment 10.3 provides more detail about C-14. Page 6 of57

1.1 Executive Summary (continued) Gaseous Effluents: Two-year summary of all the radioactive gaseous releases to the environment: Gaseous Waste 2017 2018 Comments Tritium (Ci) 34.4 32.6 1 C-14 (Ci) 19.3 . 25.3 2 Total Fission and Activation Products (Ci) 0.42 0.42 Total Particulate (Ci) 0 0 3 Gross Alpha (Ci) 0 0 3 Iodine (Ci) 0 0 3 Calculated Gamma Air Dose (mRad) 3.60E-04 3.69E-04 Calculated Beta Air Dose (mRad) 1.35E-04 l.38E-04 Total Body Dose (mRem) 0.08 0.09 Comments:

1. The major contributor to gaseous tritium activity is evaporation from the spent fuel pools.

Factors contributing to the tritium activity in the pools are related to the type of fuel used (i.e., 18-month fuel) the core life, power output, and number of core cycles.

2. C-14 activity released from the site is estimated using reactor power in accordance with EPRI document "Estimation of Carbon-14 in Nuclear Power Plant Gaseous Effluents". 2017 C-14 activity released was lower due to unit refueling and maintenance outages during the year which resulted in less total C-14 produced for the site.
3. No detectable particulate, gross alpha, or iodine activity was released during 2018.

Overall the gaseous radioactivity releases from CPNPP are well controlled and maintained ALARA. CPNPP is well below all applicable limits for gaseous releases. Neither unit had fuel defects during the year of this report. Page 7 of57

1.1 Executive Summary (continued) Liquid Effluents: Two-year summary of all the radioactive liquid releases to the environment: Liquid Waste 2017 2018 Comments Total Activity Excluding Tritium (Ci) l.06E-03 4.25E-04 1 Tritium Activity (Ci) 2510 2120 2 Total Body Dose (mRem) 0.13 0.14 Total Volume Released (Gallons) 1,231,176 694,848 3 Comments:

1. Less total liquid activity was released during 2018 since there was only 1 refueling outage and no maintenance outages when compared with 2017.
2. Tritium released values can vary significantly from year to year based on a*couple of factors.

First, reactor coolant tritium production changes based on fuel bumup characteristics. Tritium activity increases following reactor startup, then plateaus mid-cycle, and begins to decline towards the end of cycle. Second, the tritium released value is dependent upon how many outages there were during a calendar year. More liquid waste is processed and released during unit outages. 2017 was a multi-outage year which resulted in more tritium activity being discharged.

3. Higher total liquid effluent volume released in 2017 was due to several refueling and maintenance outages that occurred during the calendar year. More liquid waste is processed and released during unit outages.

Meteorological Data During 2018, the CPNPP meteorological system achieved a greater than 98% mean recoverable data rate for the joint frequency parameters required by Regulatory Guide 1.23 for wind speed, wind direction and delta temperature. See Section 7 .1 for the actual recovery percentages. Monitors OOS > 30 Days During 2018, there were no Technical Specification/ODCM effluent radiation monitors out of service (OOS) for >30 days. ODCM Changes No changes were made to the ODCM during 2018. Page 8 of57

1.1 Executive Summary (continued) Solid Waste Two-year summary of the solid waste production: Total Waste 2017 2018  % Error Shipped (m3) 360 163 25% Shipped (Ci) 22.6 1030 25% Buried (m3) 48.5 28.9 25% Buried (Ci) 22.5 1030 25% Comments: Solid waste shipments and burials have generally trended downward over the past 5 years due to solid waste reduction measures. 2017 was a multi-outage year which led to a higher volume of solid waste shipped and buried. The Curie content buried was lower primarily due to overall lower activity within the buried waste. During 2018, CPNPP shipped off 5 High Integrity Containers (HICs) containing high activity resin in order to make room for future resin transfers and filter changes. These shipments were necessary to ensure the expected volume of resin transferred from the plant during 2019 could be properly stored on site. These shipments led to higher values for Curies shipped and buried for 2018. Page 9 of57

Groundwater Tritium Water wells used to monitor CPNPP for tritium leaks into the groundwater all had results that were less than detectable during 2018. An initial sample collected from Well 11 had a slightly positive tritium result during the 2nd quarter of 2018. However, a subsequent verification sample collected from the same well two weeks later indicated less than detectable tritium activity. See Section 8.8 for details. Conclusion During 2018, the radioactive effluent monitoring program has been conducted in an appropriate manner to ensure the activity released and associated dose to the public has been maintained as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).

Consequently, the volume discharged from the L VW had to be accounted for as radioactive liquid waste for that quarter resulting in a much larger than normal total annual liquid waste volume. 2017 Higher total volume of liquid effluents released was due to unit refueling and maintenance outages during the calendar year. More liquid waste is processed and released during unit outages. Page 14 of57

This waste has a very high specific activity with respect to Class A waste. In 2012, CPNPP only disposed of Class A waste and consequently the activity was very low with respect to 2013 values. The buried volume in both years are similar since Class Band C wastes are in packages of 120 cubic feet, or about 3 cubic meters, and consequently, the impact on the overall waste volume is minimal. 2014 In 2014 CPNPP continued to ship and bury stored Class B and Class C wastes at the compact disposal facility in Andrews, Texas. In advance of the compliance date for 10 CFR 37, waste containers with the highest radioactivity, particularly those exceeding category two quantities, were chosen to be shipped. In 2013, CPNPP had just began shipments to the new Andrews, Texas disposal facility and the waste containers chosen for shipment represented lower total activity to allow the staff to become familiar with the new procedure processes required by the new facility. Buried volume in both years are similar since these values are normally associated with Class A Dry Active Waste that represents an order of magnitude more volume than Class Band Class C wastes packaged in 120 cubic feet, or about 3 cubic meter, containers. 2017 Lower total activity buried was due to solid waste having lower activity. 2018 During 2018, CPNPP shipped off 5 High Integrity Containers (HICs) containing high activity resin in order to make room for future resin transfers and filter changes. These shipments were necessary to ensure the expected volume ofresin transferred from the plant during 2019 could be properly stored on site. These shipments led to higher values for Curies shipped and buried for 2018. Page 18 of57

Additionally, the efficiency methods in place have reduced the shipped/buried volume of waste during the last few vears. Page 19 of57

2.0 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 2.1 Regulatory Limits The ODCM Radiological Effluent Control limits applicable to the release of radioactive material in liquid and gaseous effluents are described in the following sections. 2.1.1 Fission and Activation Gases (Noble Gases) The dose rate due to radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents from the site to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to less than or equal to 500 mRem/yr to the whole body and less than or equal to 3000 mRem/yr to the skin. The air dose due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents, from each unit, to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to the following:

a. During any calendar quarter: Less than or equal to 5 mRad for gamma radiation and less than or equal to 10 mRad for beta radiation, and
b. During any calendar year: Less than or equal to 10 mRad for gamma radiation and less than or equal to 20 mRad for beta radiation.

2.1.2 Iodine-131, Iodine-133, Tritium and Radioactive Material in Particulate Form The dose rate due to iodine-131, iodine-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days, released in gaseous effluents from the site to areas at and beyond the site boundary, shall be limited to less than or equal to 1500 mRem/yr to any organ. The dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from iodine-131, iodine-133, tritium and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days, in gaseous effluents released, from each unit, to areas at and beyond the site boundary, shall be limited to the following:

a. During any calendar quarter: Less than or equal to 7 .5 mRem to any organ, and
b. During any calendar year: Less than or equal to 15 mRem to any organ.

Page 20 of57

2.1.3 Liquid Effluents The concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to unrestricted areas shall be limited to 10 times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 2.0E-4 µCi/mL total activity. The dose or dose commitment to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released, from each unit, to unrestricted areas shall be limited:

a. During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mRem to the whole body and to less than or equal to 5 mRem to any organ, and
b. During any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mRem to the whole body and to less than or equal to 10 mRem to any organ.

2.1.4 LVW Pond Resin Inventory The quantity of radioactive material contained in resins transferred to the LVW pond shall be limited by the following expression: (264/V)

  • I:j Aj/Cj < 1.0 excluding tritium, dissolved or entrained noble gases and radionuclides with less than an 8-day half-life, where:

Aj = pond inventory limit for a single radionuclide j (Curies), Cj = 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2 Column 2, concentration for a single radionuclide j (µCi/mL), V = volume ofresins in the pond (gallons), and 264 = conversion factor (µCi/Ci per mL/gal) This expression limits the total quantity of radioactive materials in resins discharged to the L VW Pond to a value such that the average concentration in the resins, calculated over the total volume of resins in the pond, will not exceed one times the Effluent Concentration Limits specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. 2.1.5 Total Dose The annual (calendar year) dose or dose commitment to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources shall be limited to less than or equal to 25 mRem to the whole body or any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mRem. Page 21 of57

2.2 Effluent Concentration Limits 2.2.1 Gaseous Effluents For gaseous effluents, effluent concentration limits (ECL) values are not directly used in release rate calculations since the applicable limits are expressed in terms of dose rate at the site boundary. 2.2.2 Liquid Effluents The values specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 are used as the ECL for liquid radioactive effluents released to unrestricted areas. A value of2.0E-04 µCi/mL is used as the ECL for dissolved and entrained noble gases in liquid effluents. 2.3 Measurements and Approximations of Total Radioactivity Measurements of total radioactivity in liquid and gaseous radioactive effluents were accomplished in accordance with the sampling and analysis requirements of Tables 4.11-1 and 4.11-2, respectively, of the CPNPP ODCM. 2.3.1 Liquid Radioactive Effluents Each batch release was sampled and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides using gamma spectroscopy. Composite samples were analyzed monthly and quarterly for the Primary Effluent Tanks (PET), Waste Monitor Tanks (WMT), Laundry Holdup and Monitor Tanks (LHMT), and Waste Water Holdup Tanks (WWHT). Composite samples were analyzed monthly for tritium and gross alpha radioactivity in the onsite laboratory using liquid scintillation and gas flow proportional counting techniques, respectively. Composite samples were analyzed quarterly for Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55, and Ni-63 by a contract laboratory. The results of the composite analyses from the previous month or quarter were used to estimate the quantities of these radionuclides in liquid effluents during the current month or quarter. The total radioactivity in liquid effluent releases was determined from the measured and estimated concentrations of each radionuclide present and the total volume of the effluent released during periods of discharge. For batch releases of powdex resin to the LVW pond, samples were analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides, using gamma spectroscopy techniques. Composite samples were analyzed quarterly for Sr-89 and Sr-90 by a contract laboratory. For continuous releases to the Circulating Water Discharge from the LVW pond, daily grab samples were obtained over the period of pond discharge. These samples were composited and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides, using gamma spectroscopy techniques. Composite samples were also analyzed for tritium and gross alpha radioactivity using liquid scintillation and gas flow proportional counting techniques respectively. Composite samples were analyzed quarterly for Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55, and Ni-63 by a contract laboratory. Page 22 of57

2.3.2 Gaseous Radioactive Effluents Each gaseous batch release was sampled and analyzed for radioactivity prior to release. Waste Gas Decay Tank samples were analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides. Containment Building charcoal (iodine), particulate, noble gas, and tritium grab samples were also analyzed for radioactivity prior to each release. The results of the analyses and the total volume of effluent released were used to determine the total amount of radioactivity released in the batch mode. For continuous effluent release pathways, noble gas and tritium grab samples were collected and analyzed weekly. Samples were analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides by gamma spectroscopy and liquid scintillation counting techniques. Continuous release pathways were continuously sampled using radioiodine adsorbers and particulate filters. The radioiodine adsorbers and particulate filters were analyzed weekly for I-131 and gamma emitting radionuclides using gamma spectroscopy. Results of the noble gas and tritium grab samples, radio iodine adsorber and particulate filter analyses from the current week and the average effluent flow rate for the previous week were used to determine the total amount of radioactivity released in the continuous mode. Monthly composites of particulate filters were analyzed for gross alpha activity, in the onsite laboratory using the gas flow proportional counting technique. Quarterly composites of particulate filters were analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90 by a contract laboratory. C-14 was estimated in accordance with the methodology in the EPRI report Estimation of Carbon-14 in Nuclear Power Plant Gaseous Effluents. EPRI, Palo Alto, CA: 2010, 1021106. See Attachment 10.3 for more information on C-14. 2.4 Batch Releases A summary of information for liquid and gaseous batch releases is included in Table 9.1. 2.5 Abnormal (Unplanned) Releases Abnormal releases are defined as unplanned or uncontrolled releases of radioactive material from the site boundary. There were no abnormal (unplanned) liquid or gaseous radioactive effluent releases during 2018. 3.0 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS The quantities of radioactive material released in gaseous effluents are summarized in Tables 9.3 and 9.4. All releases of radioactive material in gaseous form are considered to be ground level releases. 4.0 LIQUID EFFLUENTS The quantities of radioactive material released in liquid effluents are summarized in Tables 9.5 and 9.6. 5.0 SOLID WASTES The quantities ofradioactive material released as solid wastes are summarized in Table 9.10.

6.0 RADIOLOGICAL IMPACT ON MAN 6.1 Dose Due to Liquid Effluents The dose to an adult from the fish and cow-meat consumption pathways from Squaw Creek Reservoir was calculated in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM. The results of the calculations are summarized on a quarterly and annual basis in Table 9.7. 6.2 Dose Due to Gaseous Effluents Air doses due to gaseous effluent gamma and beta emissions were calculated using the highest annual average atmospheric dispersion factor at the Site Boundary location, in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM. The results of the calculations are summarized on a quarterly and annual basis in Table 9.8. 6.3 Dose Due to Radioiodines, Tritium, and Particulates in Gaseous Releases The dose to an adult, teen, child, and infant from radioiodines and particulates, for the pathways listed in Part II, Table 2.4 of the ODCM, were calculated using the highest dispersion and deposition factors, as appropriate, in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM. The results of the calculations are summarized on a quarterly and annual basis in Table 9.9. Because of pathway similarity, C-14 dose is included in this table. 6.4 40CFR190 Dose Evaluation ODCM Radiological Effluent Control 3 .11.4 requires dose evaluations to demonstrate compliance with 40 CPR Part 190 only if the calculated quarterly or yearly dose exceed two times the applicable quarterly or annual dose limits. At no time during 2018 were any of these limits exceeded; therefore, no evaluations are required. 6.5 Dose to a Member of the Public from Activities Inside the Site Boundary Dose to a Member of the Public from activities inside the site boundary was evaluated. The highest dose resulted from recreational fishing on Squaw Creek Reservoir. A dose of 3.l lE-03 mRem/yr was calculated based on an individual fishing twice a week, five hours each day, six months per year. Pathways included in the calculation were gaseous inhalation and submersion. Liquid pathways are not considered since all doses are calculated at the point of circulation water discharge into the reservoir. Page 24 of57

7.0 METEROLOGICAL DATA 7.1 Meteorological Monitoring Program In accordance with ODCM Administrative Control 6.9.1.4, a summary of hourly meteorological data, collected during 2018 is retained onsite. These data are available for review by the NRC upon request. Joint Frequency Tables are included in Attachment 10.1. During the year of this report, the goal of> 90% joint data recovery was met. The individual percent recoveries are listed below: Meteorological Data Recovery Channel  % Recovery 10 m Wind Speed 98.8 10 m Wind Direction 99.8 Delta Temperature A 100.0 Delta Temperature B 98.2 8.0 RELATED INFORMATION 8.1 Operability of Liquid and Gaseous Monitoring Instrumentation ODCM Radiological Effluent Controls 3.3.3.4 and 3.3.3.5 require an explanation of why designated inoperable liquid and gaseous monitoring instrumentation was not restored to operable status within thirty days. During 2018, there were no instances where these instruments were inoperable for more than thirty days. 8.2 Changes to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual There were no changes to the ODCM during 2018. 8.3 New Locations for Dose Calculations or Environmental Monitoring ODCM Administrative Control 6.9.1.4 requires any new locations for dose calculations and/or environmental monitoring, identified by the Land Use Census, to be included in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. Based on the 2018 Land Use Census, no new receptor locations were identified which resulted in changes requiring a revision in current environmental sample locations. Values for the current nearest resident, milk animal, garden, X/Q and D/Q values in all sectors surrounding CPNPP were included in the 2018 Land Use Census. Page 25 of57

8.4 Liquid Holdup and Gas Storage Tanks ODCM Administrative Control 6.9.1.4 requires a description of the events leading to liquid holdup or gas storage tanks exceeding the limits required to be established by Technical Specification 5.5.12. Technical Requirements Manual 13.10.33 limits the quantity of radioactive material contained in each unprotected outdoor tank to less than or equal to 10 Curies, excluding tritium and dissolved or entrained noble gases. Technical Requirements Manual 13.10.32 limits the quantity of radioactive material contained in each gas storage tank to less than or equal to 200,000 Curies of noble gases (considered as Xe-133 equivalent). These limits were not exceeded during the period covered by this report. 8.5 Noncompliance with Radiological Effluent Control Requirements This section provides a listing and description of Abnormal Releases, issues that did not comply with the applicable requirements of the Radiological Effluents Controls given in Part I of the CPNPP ODCM and/or issues that did not comply with associated Administrative Controls and that failed to meet CPNPP expectations regarding Station Radioactive Effluent Controls. Detailed documentation concerning evaluations of these events and corrective actions is maintained onsite. 8.5.1 Abnormal (Unplanned) Gaseous Effluent Release No abnormal (unplanned) gaseous effluent releases occurred during 2018. 8.5.2 Abnormal (Unplanned) Liquid Effluent Releases No abnormal (unplanned) liquid effluent releases occurred during 2018. Page 26 of57

8.6 Resin Releases to the Low Volume Waste (LVW) Pond A total of 232 ft 3 of powdex resin was transferred to the L VW pond during 2018. The cumulative activity deposited in the LVW pond since operations began through the end of 2018 is l.90E-03 Curies, consisting ofCo-58, Co-60, Cs-134, Cs-137, I-131, Sr-90 and Sb-125. 8.7 Changes to the Liquid, Gaseous, and Solid Waste Treatment Systems In accordance with the CPNPP Process Control Program, Section 6.2.6.2, changes to the Radwaste Treatment Systems (liquid, gaseous, and solid) should be summarized and reported to the Commission in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report if the changes implemented required a 10CFR50.59 safety evaluation. During 2018, no changes to the Radwaste Treatment Systems occurred meeting the reporting criteria of the Process Control Program. 8.8 Groundwater Tritium Monitoring Program Water wells used to monitor CPNPP for tritium leaks into the groundwater all had results that were less than detectable during 2018. An initial sample collected from Well 11 had a slightly positive tritium result during the 2nd quarter of 2018. However, a subsequent verification sample collected from the same well two weeks later indicated less than detectable tritium activity. Other areas also monitored, but not considered part of the ground monitoring program include the seepage sump, and Leachate Basins A, B, and C. These sample points are actually of perched (surface) water and not indicative of groundwater tritium. Previous hydrogeology studies performed by Pastor, Behling and Wheeler LLC, showed that this perched water sits above an impermeable layer of bedrock. This layer keeps tritiated perched water from migrating to the Twin Mountain Aquifer, thereby preventing a potential new pathway to drinking water sources. The layer reroutes the water back to SCR. Groundwater monitoring wells below the perched layer have not identified any tritium above the MDA and confirm the claims of the hydrogeology study. Based on this information and the guidance in NEI 07-07, there is no requirement for notification to the NRC or local officials and no requirement for remediation as it is not considered licensed material. Continued monitoring of these perched water sample points will occur as part of the Groundwater Monitoring Program (STA-654) and any new sources of tritium or increase in the activity will be evaluated and remediated as necessary.

Attachment 10.2 Atmospheric Dispersion {X/0) and Deposition (D/0) Calculation Methodology Discussion Introduction CR-2013-001059 evaluated the atmospheric dispersion (X/Q) and deposition (D/Q) calculation methodology and frequency as they relate to the meteorological data to ensure they are up to date. The CPNPP ODCM does not require a re-evaluation on any frequency or specific criteria for comparison. The NRC guidance documents cited in the ODCM also do not provide any requirements for re-evaluation. Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.21, to which we are not committed, recommends that 5 years of meteorological data be used to evaluate the dispersion factors and that variation in the factors be within 10% in the non-conservative direction. The evaluation of our meteorological data included 6 years of data and meets the criteria. Discussion Meteorological data collected for the original FSAR, the NuBuild FSAR and historical Radiological Effluent Reports were reviewed. The data list the predominant wind direction, as a percentage, averaged for all speeds and stability classes within the period. For periods not summarized and when the plant was operable (1990- 

 . 2000) only 1990, 1995 and 1996 show the predominant wind direction to be from the SSE. This information was not included, however, since the data should include a summary of at least 5 years of data. The original dispersion and deposition factors were calculated based on meteorological data collected and summarized from 1972 through 1976 at Comanche Peak. Data show the predominant wind direction to be from the South but only slightly more than winds originating from the SSE. The historical data from 1957-1976 was included in the original FSAR for comparison and show more bias toward the southerly direction but was collected from the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport location. Wind patterns for the DFW Airport were reviewed on the National Weather Service website for 1981-2010 and show that the prevailing wind direction remains from the South.

This accounts for the slight variation in prevailing winds between historical and current data collected on site. During the New Build project for Units 3&4 and from OE 25286 the meteorological data were again summarized from 1997-2006, for Comanche Peak, and showed that the predominant wind direction shifted to the SSE. Using this data, new dispersion and deposition factors were calculated. The new factors were less conservative when compared to the original dispersion and deposition factors at the Exclusion Area Boundary (See Reference 3). The conclusion was to continue reporting offsite exposures based on the original values. The last column of data in Table 1 is summarized for the purposes of this evaluation and includes meteorological data since the New Build evaluation through 2012. This data, like the NuBuild data, show the predominant wind direction to be from the SSE. Conclusion Although the predominant wind direction frequency changes slightly from SSE to S when comparing the NuBuild Data to the original FSAR and Historical Data, the NuBuild calculations show that dispersion and deposition factors do not increase. Following the NuBuild evaluation, the wind direction remains the same and does not impact the calculation of the dispersion and deposition. Using the original factors would be conservative when calculating doses to the public. TR-2019-001642 was initiated to document the evaluation of prevailing wind directions for all stability classes over the calendar year 2018. This evaluation is performed annually in accordance with Chemistry Guideline 25 to ensure the predominant wind direction has not changed based on the last 5 years of meteorological data including the current year. The 2018 predominant wind direction (SSE) and stability class category (Pasquill Class D) did not change when compared with the five year rolling average which includes 2018. No recalculations ofX/Q or D/Q values are required at this time. Page 54 of57 L

Attachment 10.3 Carbon-14 Supplemental Information Carbon-14 (C-14) is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon produced by interactions with cosmic radiation in the atmosphere with a half-life of 5730 years. 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 are much less than the amounts produced from natural formation or from weapons testing. In June 2009, the NRC provided revised guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.21, Measuring, Evaluating and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste, Revision 2, establishing an updated approach for identifying principal radionuclides. Because the overall quantity of radioactive releases has steadily decreased due to improvements in power plant operations, C-14 now qualifies as a "principal radionuclide" (anything greater than one percent of overall radioactivity in effluents) under federal regulations at many plants. In other words, C-14 has not increased and C-14 is not a new nuclear plant emission. Rather, the improvements in the mitigation of other isotopes have made C-14 more prominent. The dose contribution of C-14 from liquid radioactive waste is essentially insignificant compared to that contributed by gaseous radioactive waste. Therefore, the evaluation of C-14 in liquid radioactive waste is not required by the new Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2. The Reg. Guide 1.21, Rev. 2 also states that the quantity of gaseous C-14 released to the environment can be estimated by use. of a C-14 source term production model. A recent study produced by EPRI (Estimation of Carbon-14 in Nuclear Power Plant Gaseous Effluents, EPRI, Palo Alto, CA: 2010, 1021106) developed a model for estimation of C-14 source production. This model was used by CPNPP for the 2010 Radioactive Effluent Release Report. Also in the CPNPP report, the assumption that 70% of the C-14 gaseous effluent is estimated to be from batch releases (e.g. W GD Ts), and 30% of C-14 gaseous effluent is estimated 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). The C-14 released from PWR' s is primarily a mix of organic carbon and carbon dioxide released from the waste gas system. The C-14 species initially produced are primarily in the organic form, such as methane. The C-14 in the primary coolant can be converted to an inorganic chemical form of primarily carbon dioxide through a chemical transformation. Studies documented by the EPRI Report Characterization of Carbon-14 Generated by the Nuclear Power Industry, EPRI Palo Alto, CA: 1995, TR-105715, measured C-14 releases from PWRs indicating a range of 70% to 95% organic. The average value was indicated to be 80% organic with the remainder being carbon dioxide. As a result, a value of 80% organic C-14 is assumed by the CPNPP Radioactive Effluent Release Report methodology. The public dose estimates from airborne C-14 in the CPNPP Effluent report are performed using dose models from NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109. The dose models and assumptions used for the dose estimates of C-14 are documented in the 2011 ODCM changes. The estimated C-14 dose impact on the maximum organ dose from airborne effluents released during 2011 is well below the 10CFR50, Appendix I, ALARA design objective of 15 mRem/yr per unit.

Attachment 10.4 Putting Radiation Dose in Context Humans are exposed to radiation every day. The majority comes from natural sources including the earth, food and water consumption, the air, the sun and outer space. A smaller fraction radiation comes from man-made source such as X-rays, nuclear medical treatments, building materials, nuclear power plants, smoke detectors and televisions. Radiation is measured in units called millirem (mRem). One mRem is a very small amount of exposure. On average, Americans receive 620 mRem of radiation dose every year. Approximately one-half of the dose comes from natural sources and the other half comes from medical procedures such as CAT scans. The table below can help to give some perspective to dose from various sources. Source Average Annual Dose Smoke detector in the home 0.008mRem Live within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant 0.009mRem Live within 50 miles of a coal-fired power plant* 0.03 mRem NRC guideline for keeping radiation dose from nuclear power plants as low as 5mRem reasonably achievable (ALARA) Round trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles 5mRem Medical X-ray 10 mRem EPA limit for dose to the public from the commercial nuclear fuel cycle 25 mRem Food and water consumed throughout the course of one year 30mRem NRC limit for dose to the public from nuclear power plants 100 mRem Mammogram lOOmRem Average annual exposure for a nuclear power plant worker 120mRem Average annual exposure from background radiation 300mRem CT scan 1,000 mRem NRC's annual limit for occupational exposure 5,000 mRem Cardiac catheterization or coronary angiogram 5,000 mRem

Attachment 10.5 Errata from Previous Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Reports

1. The 2015 ARERR has a typographical error in Table 9.4 on page 30. The total tritium for the year was shown as l.64e+Ol. It should have read l.64E-01 Tritium value for the dose calculations was the correct value. AI-TR-2017-009339
2. The 2016 ARERR has an incorrect title on page 13 in the comments section. The title reads: "Total Body Dose due to Gaseous Activity Released Comments" and should read "Total Volume Liquid Effluents Released Comments" Comments in the box regarding the graph on page 13 were correct. IR-2018-001484
3. 2017 ARERR: p. 9- CPNPP should be added to "Water Plant" to clarify that it is the Comanche Peak water plant and not a public facility; p. 18- Comments Table should read "Total Volume of Solid Radwaste Buried" rather than "Total Body Dose due to Liquid Effluents Released"; p. 26- Third paragraph needs to be reworded for clarification. The 2018 ARERR was updated with these comments from TR-2019-000972.
