SUMMARY
OF MONITORING RESULTS 5
Summary The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report presents data obtained through analyses of environmental samples collected for Grand Gulf Nuclear Station's (GGNS)
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for the period January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. This report fulfills the requirements of GGNS Technical Specification 5.6.2.
To supplement the REMP, GGNS personnel installed duplicate TLDs and collected duplicate samples during the reporting period.
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program GGNS established the REMP in 1978 prior to the station becoming operational (1985) to provide data on background radiation and radioactivity normally present in the area. GGNS has continued to monitor the environment by sampling air, water, sediment, fish and food products, as well as measuring radiation directly. GGNS also samples milk, if commercial milk production occurs within five miles of the plant.
The REMP includes sampling indicator and control locations within an 18-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 naturally occurring background radioactivity. GGNS personnel compare indicator results with control and preoperational results to assess any impact GGNS operation might have on the surrounding environment.
In 2015, GGNS.personnel collected environmental samples for radiological analysis. The monitoring results for indicator locations when compared to control locations and previous studies show that GGNS has no significant effect on the local environment. The review of 2015 monitoring data, in many cases, showed undetectable radiation levels in the environment and near background levels in potential exposure pathways associated with GGNS.
Harmful Effects or Irreversible Damage The REMP monitoring did not detect any harmful effects or evidence of irreversible damage in the current year.
Reporting Levels When averaged over any calendar quarter, no environmental samples equaled or exceeded reporting levels for radioactivity as outlined in Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)
Specifications Table 6.12.1-2; the analytical results did not trigger any Radiological Monitoring Program Special Reports.
Radioactivity Not Attributable to GGNS Over previous years, the GGNS REMP detected radioactivity attributable to other sources.
These sources included the Chinese nuclear test in 1980 and the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. In 2011, the GGNS REMP detected radioactivity released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant following the March 11, 2011, Tohoku earthquake.
In 2015, the GGNS REMP detected no radioactivity attributable to other sources.
Comparison to Federal and State Programs 6
GGNS personnel compare REMP data to federal and state monitoring programs. Historically, the programs used for comparison included the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) Direct Radiation Monitoring Network and the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), Division of Radiological Health monitoring program.
Although the NRC TLD Network Program was discontinued in 1998, these results compared favorably to those from the GGNS REMP.
The MSDH and the GGNS REMP have similar monitoring requirements. These programs include co-located air sampling and sharing sample media such as water, sediment, fish and food products. Both programs have obtained similar results. The 2015 results of the MSDH monitoring program compared favorably with the GGNS REMP results.
Sample Deviations
- Milk The GGNS aDCM requires collection of milk samples if there is a commercially available source within 5 miles (8 km) of the plant. In 2015, the REMP did not include milk sampling because no commercial milk production occurred within 5 miles of GGNS.
GGNS personnel instead collected vegetation samples to monitor the ingestion pathway, as specified in aDCM Specifications Table 6.12.1-1.
- Required Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) Values Analytical lower limit of detection (LLD) values required by the aDCM specifications achieved in 2015 were within the limits for all samples.
- Thermoluminescent Dosimeters There were no deviations in 2015.
- Air Samples The following air sample locations had reduced run times due to weather-related power outages or mechanical problems. As described in aDCM Specification Table 6.12.1-1, footnote (a), deviations from the required sampling schedule are permitted due to malfunction of sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons.

AS-1 PG 99.9%
AS-361VA 99.2%
AS-7 UH 99.6%
- Missed Samples All required samples were collected in accordance with REMP requirements. There were no missed samples.
- Unavailable Results GGNS received analytical results in adequate time for inclusion in this report.
Program Modifications No REMP modifications took place during this sampling period.
During 2015, installation of an additional air monitoring station in the vicinity of a community located within the sector having the highest calculated XlQ was approved. Meteorological data indicates that Sector L is the sector with the highest calculated XlQ at the site boundary.
Implementation of the new air sampling location will be completed in 2016. The additional 8
monitoring location will enhance the site's radiological environmental monitoring program, and will demonstrate robust compliance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual requirements.
Discussion of the data collected from the new location will be included in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
Attachments contains results of TLD, air, water, sediment, fish, food products and special samples collected in the reporting period. TLDs were analyzed by Stanford Dosimetry of Sterling, MA. Other samples were analyzed by Teledyne Brown Engineering of Knoxville, TN.
Tables A 9.1 and A 9.2 includes results from Stanford Dosimetry's and Teledyne Brown Engineering's participation in interlaboratory comparison programs.

1.0 Introduction 1.1 R41diological Environmental Monitoring Program GGNS established the REMP to ensure that plant operating controls properly function to minimize any radiation that could endanger human health or the environment. The REMP is designed to:
- Analyze important pathways for anticipated types and quantities of radionuclides released into the environment,
- Consider the possibility of a buildup of long-lived radionuclides in the environment and identify any physical and biological accumulations that may contribute to human exposures,
- Consider the potential radiation exposure to plant and animal life in the environment surrounding GGNS,
- Correlate levels of radiation and radioactivity in the environment with radioactive releases from the operation of GGNS.
1.2 Pathways Monitored The airborne, direct radiation, waterborne and ingestion pathways, as seen in Figure 1-1 are monitored as required by the GGNS ODCM Table 6.12.1-1. A description of the GGNS REMP utilized to monitor the exposure pathways is provided in Table 1.2 and shown in Figures 1-2 and 1-3. GGNS may supplement this program with additional sampling in order to provide a comprehensive and well-balanced program.
Section 2.0 of this report provides a discussion of sampling results, with Section 3.0 providing a summary of results for the monitored exposure pathways.
1.3 Land Use Census GGNS personnel conduct a biennial land use census, as required by ODCM Specification 6.12.2. The most recent land use census data are included in Table 2.1. The purpose of this census is to identify land use changes within each of the 16 meteorological sectors and within a 5-mile radius of GGNS that would require modifications to the REMP or the ODCM. The census identifies the nearest:
- 1) Occupied and unoccupied residences 2 2
- 2) Garden of greater than 50 square meters (m ) [500 square feet (ft )]
producing broadleaf vegetation
- 3) Animal milked for human consumption 10
GGNS personnel conduct the land use census by:
- Conducting field surveys in each meteorological sector out to five miles in order to confirm:
- Nearest occupied residence
- Nearest unoccupied residence
- Nearest garden and approximate size
- Nearest milking animal
- Identifying locations on maps and aerial photographs, measuring distances to GGNS and recording results on surveillance data sheets
- Comparing current land use census results to previous results from the 2012 census
- Contacting the Claiborne County Agent for verification of nearest dairy animals No significant changes between the biennial land use census performed in 2012 and the most recent census performed in 2014 were identified that would require modifications to the REMP or the ODCM.

2.0 Interpretation and Trends of Results 2.1 Air Particulate and Radioiodine Sample Results GGNS did not detect any plant related gamma emitting radionuclides in the quarterly air particulate composites.
The REMP had previously detected airborne radioactivity attributable to other sources in this pathway. These sources include the Chinese nuclear test in 1980 and the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. The GGNS REMP detected radioactivity released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant following the March 11, 2011, Tohoku earthquake. No radioiodine was detected in 2015.
Table 3.1, which also includes gross beta activity, provides a comparison of the indicator and control means and ranges, further emphasizing that the airborne pathway remains at background levels. In the absence of plant-related gamma radionuclides, gross beta activity is attributed to naturally occurring radionuclides. Similar trends are present for control and indicator locations, which support the presence of naturally occurring radioactivity.
2.2 Thermoluminescent Dosimetry Sample Results GGNS calculates dose by subtracting shield readings from control and indicator location readings and reports measured dose as net exposure, normalized to 92 days. GGNS relies on the comparison of the indicator locations to the control location as an indication of plant impact. Gamma radiation dose in the reporting period is compared to control location readings for previous years as shown in Figure 2-1 .
The comparison of the indicator results to the control, and to previous indicator results, as seen in Figure 2-1 and Table 3.1, indicates that plant operation has had no significant impact on ambient radiation levels during the reporting period.
In previous years, TLD locations M-21 (Sector J, 0.4 miles), M-98 (Sector H, 0.5 miles),
and M-99 (Sector K, 0.4 miles) were above background. The dose rates at these three locations were the result of Nitrogen-16 (N-16) associated with the injection of hydrogen and subsequent N-16 production. Hydrogen injection into the feedwater system provides protection against Intergranular Stress Corrosion of plant components. Since November 2010, the hydrogen injection rate has been reduced and the dose rates at TLD locations M-21, M-98, and M-99 have returned to near background levels.

Plant related gamma emitting radionuclides and tritium remained undetectable in the upstream and downstream Mississippi River locations, which is consistent with preoperational and previous operational years. Storm waters contribute to Outfall 007 and can include tritium as a result of washout and entrainment of normal, previously monitored gaseous effluents.
As a result, tritium is occasionally observed. Tritium was measured during February (5280 +/- 961 pCi/L), April (950 +/- 554 pCi/L), October (607 +/- 339 pCi/L), and December (449 +/- 280 pCi/L) at the Outfall 007 (indicator) location. Duplicate samples from Outfall 007 during February (5090 +/- 950 pCi/L) and April (1200 +/- 586 pCi/L) showed similar tritium activity. Tritium was not observed in the remaining Outfall 007 samples collected during 2015.
In addition to the tritium samples required by the REMP, four special surface water samples for gamma emitting radionuclides were collected at the Outfall 007 location (Table A 8.1). Plant related gamma emitting radionuclides remained undetectable in these samples.
Based on review of results and historical data, plant operations had no significant impact on this pathway during the reporting period.
24
Groundwater samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control) and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides and tritium (Tables A 4.1 and A 4.2). In addition to the samples required by the REMP, an extra sample from the locations was analyzed for lodine-131 (Table A 4.3). GGNS did not detect any plant related gamma emitting radionuclides or tritium in groundwater samples during the reporting period.
Based on review of results and historical data, plant operations had no significant impact on this pathway during the reporting period.
2.4 Sediment Sample Results Sediment samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control) and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides. GGNS did not detect any plant related gamma emitting radionuclides or tritium in sediment samples during the reporting period.
Based on review of results and historical data, plant operations had no significant impact on this pathway during the reporting period.
2.5 Milk Sample Results Milk samples were not collected within five miles of the site in the reporting period due to the absence of milking animals. Since there are no dairies within five miles of GGNS, and based on non-detectable radioiodine and gamma radionuclides in air and vegetation samples, plant operations had no impact on this pathway during the reporting period.
2.6 Fish Sample Results Fish samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control) and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides. GGNS did not detect any plant related gamma emitting radionuclides in fish samples (edible portions) during the reporting period, as has been the case in preoperational and previous operational years. These results indicate that this pathway has not been affected by plant operations.
2.7 Food Product (Vegetation) Sample Results Food product samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control) and analyzed for lodine-131 and gamma emitting radionuclides. GGNS did not detect any plant related lodine-131 or gamma emitting radionuclides in vegetation samples during the reporting period. These results indicate that this pathway has not been affected by plant operations.
2.8 Land Use Census Results Results from the most recent Land Use Census performed in 2014 are included in this report. Methods utilized to perform the Land Use Census include: visual surveys, door to door surveys, telephone interviews, Global Positioning System (GPS), Aerial Photography, and consultation with the local county agent concerning dairy production in Claiborne County.
During the survey the following information was obtained:
- 1) nearest location of occupied and unoccupied residences 25
- 2) nearest location of dairy production
- 3) nearest location of gardens Changes from the previous Land Use Census were evaluated in accordance with GGNS surveillance "Land Use Census", 06-EN-SOOO-O-0002. The differences were compared to the locations and assumptions used in calculations for compliance with the ODCM Limiting Condition for Operation 6.11.6 and 6.12.2. The locations and assumptions currently used in ODCM were determined more conservative than any of the changes. Determinations from the most recent Land Use Census results are:
- Because of downwind location and/or distance from the site, in no case will the occupancy of an existing unoccupied residence cause any existing ODCM critical receptor calculation results to be less conservative.
- No additional sampling locations are required as the onsite vegetation sampling location (Sector J, 0.4 miles) is more conservative than changes identified in the land use census.
- Cattle are raised for human consumption (most notably in Sectors F, H, J, and K). GGNS uses the Grass/Cow/Meat pathway.
- The milk pathway does not need to be activated because no commercial dairy production is occurring within 5 miles, as referenced by ODCM Table 6.12.1-1.
- Sectors M, N, P, and Q are remote areas in which the primary use is hunting.
Areas were surveyed by vehicle, aerial photographs, and interviews.
- Gardens, regardless of size, were included in the census data Although not procedurally required, it is recommended that the next ODCM revision include an update to Table 2.2-3 to reflect the latest Land Use Census results.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Routine quality control (QC) testing was performed for dosimeters issued by the Environmental Dosimetry Company (EDC) .
During this annual period, 100 % (72/72) of the individual dosimeters, evaluated against the EDC internal performance acceptance criteria (high-energy photons only), met the criterion for accuracy and 100% (72/72) met the criterion for precision (Table 1). In addition, 100% (12/12) of the dosimeter sets evaluated against the internal tolerance limits met EDC acceptance criteria (Table 2) and 100% (6/6) of independent testing passed the performance criteria (Table 3). Trending graphs, which evaluate performance statistic for high-energy photon irradiations and co-located stations are given in Appendix A.
One internal assessment was performed in 2015. There were no findings.

I. INTRODUCTION The TLD systems at the Environmental Dosimetry Company (EDC) are calibrated and operated to ensure consistent and accurate evaluation of TLDs. The quality of the dosimetric results reported to EDC clients is ensured by in-house performance testing and independent performance testing by EDC clients, and both internal and client directed program assessments.
The purpose of the dosimetry quality assurance program is to provide performance documentation of the routine processing of EDC dosimeters. Performance testing provides a statistical measure of the bias and precision of dosimetry processing against a reliable standard, which in turn points out any trends or performance changes. Two programs are used:
A. QC Program Dosimetry quality control tests are performed on EDC Panasonic 814 Environmental dosimeters. These tests include: (1) the in-house testing program coordinated by the EDC QA Officer and (2) independent test perform by EDC clients. In-house test are performed using six pairs of 814 dosimeters, a pair is reported as an individual result and six pairs are reported as the mean result.
Results of these tests are described in this report.
Excluded from this report are instrumentation checks. Although instrumentation checks represent an important aspect of the quality assurance program, they are not included as process checks in this report. Instrumentation checks represent between 5-10% of the TLDs processed.
B. QA Program An internal assessment of dosimetry activities is conducted annually by the Quality Assurance Officer (Reference 1). The purpose of the assessment is to review procedures, results, materials or components to identify opportunities to improve or enhance processes and/or services.
II. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION CRITERIA A. Acceptance Criteria for Internal Evaluations
- 1. Bias For each dosimeter tested, the measure of bias is the percent deviation of the reported result relative to the delivered exposure. The percent deviation relative to the delivered exposure is calculated as follows:
where:
H; = the corresponding reported exposure for the l" dosimeter (i.e., the reported exposure)
Hi = the exposure delivered to the l" irradiated dosimeter (i.e., the delivered exposure) 1 of 6
- 2. Mean Bias For each group of test dosimeters, the mean bias is the average percent deviation of the reported result relative to the delivered exposure. The mean percent deviation relative to the delivered exposure is calculated as follows:
where:
H; = the corresponding reported exposure for the ith dosimeter (i.e., the reported exposure)
Hi = the exposure delivered to the l" irradiated test dosimeter (i.e., the delivered exposure) n = the number of dosimeters in the test group
- 3. Precision For a group of test dosimeters irradiated to a given exposure, the measure of precision is the percent deviation of individual results relative to the mean reported exposure. At least two values are required for the determination of precision. The measure of precision for the ith dosimeter is:
where:
H; = the reported exposure for the ith dosimeter (i.e., the reported exposure)
R = the mean reported exposure; i.e., R= IH:(~)
n = the number of dosimeters in the test group
- 4. EDC Internal Tolerance Limits All evaluation criteria are taken from the "EDC Quality System Manual,"
(Reference 2). These criteria are only applied to individual test dosimeters irradiated with high-energy photons (Cs-137) and are as follows for Panasonic Environmental dosimeters: +/- 15% for bias and +/-
12.8% for precision.
2 of 6
B. QC Investigation Criteria and Result Reporting EDC Quality System Manual (Reference 2) specifies when an investigation is required due to a QC analysis that has failed the EDC bias criteria. The criteria are as follows:
- 1. No investigation is necessary when an individual QC result falls outside the QC performance criteria for accuracy.
- 2. Investigations are initiated when the mean of a QC processing batch is outside the performance criterion for bias.
C. Reporting of Environmental Dosimetry Results to EDC Customers
- 1. All results are to be reported in a timely fashion.
- 2. If the QA Officer determines that an investigation is required for a process, the results shall be issued as normal. If the QC results, prompting the investigation, have a mean bias from the known of greater than +/-20%, the results shall be issued with a note indicating that they may be updated in the future, pending resolution of a QA issue.
- 3. Environmental dosimetry results do not require updating if the investigation has shown that the mean bias between the original results and the corrected results, based on applicable correction factors from the investigation, does not exceed +/-20 %
- III. DATA
SUMMARY
FOR ISSUANCE PERIOD JANUARY-DECEMBER 2015 A. General Discussion Results of performance tests conducted are summarized and discussed in the following sections. Summaries of the performance tests for the reporting period are given in Tables 1 through 3 and Figures 1 through 4.
Table 1 provides a summary of individual dosimeter results evaluated against the EDC internal acceptance criteria for high-energy photons only. During this period, 100% (72/72) of the individual dosimeters, evaluated against these criteria met the tolerance limits for accuracy and 100% (72/72) met the criterion for precision.
A graphical interpretation is provided in Figures 1 and 2.
Table 2 provides the Bias + Standard deviation results for each group (N=6) of dosimeters evaluated against the internal tolerance criteria. Overall, 100%
(12/12) of the dosimeter sets evaluated against the internal tolerance performance criteria met these criteria. A graphical interpretation is provided in Figures 3 Table 3 presents the independent blind spike results for dosimeters processed during this annual period. All results passed the performance acceptance criterion. Figure 4 is a graphical interpretation of Seabrook Station blind co-located station results.

B. Result Trending One of the main benefits of performing quality control tests on a routine basis is to identify trends or performance changes. The results of the Panasonic environmental dosimeter performance tests are presented in Appendix A. The results are evaluated against each of the performance criteria listed in Section II, namely: individual dosimeter accuracy, individual dosimeter precision, and mean bias.
All of the results presented in Appendix A are plotted sequentially by processing date.
IV. STATUS OF EDC CONDITION REPORTS (CR)
No condition reports were issued during this annual period.
V. STATUS OF AUDITS/ASSESSMENTS A. Internal EDC Internal Quality Assurance Assessment was conducted during the fourth quarter 2015. There were no findings identified.
B. External None.
VI. PROCEDURES AND MANUALS REVISED DURING JANUARY - DECEMBER 2015 Procedure 1052 was revised on December 23, 2015. Several procedures were reissued with no changes as part of the 5 year review cycle.
VII. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The quality control evaluations continue to indicate the dosimetry processing programs at the EDC satisfy the criteria specified in the Quality System Manual. The EDC demonstrated the ability to meet all applicable acceptance criteria.

For the TBE laboratory, 131 out of 139 analyses performed met the specified acceptance criteria. Eight analyses (AP - Cr-51 , U-234/233, Gr A, Sr-90; Soil Sr-90; Water - Ni-3 and U natural; Vegetation Sr-90 samples) did not meet the specified acceptance criteria for the following reasons:
- 1. Teledyne Brown Engineering's Analytics' June 2015 air particulate Cr-51 result of 323 +/- 45.5 pCi was higher than the known value of 233 pCi with a ratio of 1.39. The upper ratio of 1.20 was exceeded.
The air particulate sample is counted on a shelf (above the detector), which is the ideal geometry for this sample. But due to the fact that Cr-51 has the shortest half-life and the weakest gamma energy of the mixed nuclide sample, this geometry produces a larger error for the Cr-51. Taking into consideration the uncertainty, the activity of Cr-51 overlaps with the known value at a ratio of 1.19, which would be considered acceptable. NCR 15-18
- 2. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 soil Sr-90 result of 286 Total Bq/kg was lower than the known value of 653 Bq/kg, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 487 Bq/kg. The failure was due to incomplete digestion of the sample. NCR 15-13
- 3. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 air particulate U-234/233 result of 0.0211 Bq/sample was higher than the known value of 0.0155 Bq/sample, exceeding the upper acceptance range of 0.0202 Bq/sample. Due to the extremely low activity, it was difficult to quantify the U-234/233. Taking into consideration the uncertainty, the activity of U-234/233 overlaps with the known value, which is statistically considered the same value. NCR 15-13
- 4. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 air particulate gross alpha result of 0.448 Bq/sample was lower than the known value of 1.77 Bq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 0.53 Bq/sample. The efficiency used for gross alpha is made from a non-attenuated alpha standard. The MAPEP filter has the alphas embedded in the filter, requiring an attenuated efficiency. In order to correct the low bias, TBE will create an attenuated efficiency for MAPEP air particulate filters. NCR 15-13
- 5. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP September water Ni-63 result of 11.8 +/- 10.8 Bq/L was higher than the known value of 8.55 Bq/L, exceeding the upper acceptance range of 11.12 Bq/L. The original sample was run with a 10 mL aliquot which was not sufficient for the low level of Ni-63 in the sample. The rerun aliquot of 30 mL produced an acceptable result of 8.81 Bq/L. NCR 15-21
- 6. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP September air particulate Sr-90 result of 1.48 Bq/sample was lower than the known value of 2.18 Bq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 1.53
Bq/sample. In the past, MAPEP has added substances (unusual compounds found in DOE complexes) to various matrices that have resulted in incomplete removal of the isotope of interest for the laboratories analyzing the cross checks. We feel that this is possibly the case with this sample. NCR 15-21
- 7. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP September vegetation Sr-90 result of 0.386 Bq/sample was lower than the known value of 1.30 Bq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 0.91 Bq/sample. In the past, MAPEP has added substances (unusual compounds found in DOE complexes) to various matrices that have resulted in incomplete removal of the isotope of interest for the laboratories analyzing the cross checks. We feel that this is possibly the case with this sample. NCR 15-21
- 8. Teledyne Brown Engineering's ERA November water Uranium natural result of 146.9 pCi/L was higher than the known value of 56.2 pCi/L, exceeding the upper acceptance limit of 62.4 pCi/L.
The technician failed to dilute the original sample, but used the entire 12 mL sample. When recalculated using the 12 mL aliquot, the result of 57.16 agreed with the assigned value of 56.2. NCR 15-19

SUMMARY
OF MONITORING RESULTS 5
Summary The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report presents data obtained through analyses of environmental samples collected for Grand Gulf Nuclear Station's (GGNS)
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for the period January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. This report fulfills the requirements of GGNS Technical Specification 5.6.2.
To supplement the REMP, GGNS personnel installed duplicate TLDs and collected duplicate samples during the reporting period.
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program GGNS established the REMP in 1978 prior to the station becoming operational (1985) to provide data on background radiation and radioactivity normally present in the area. GGNS has continued to monitor the environment by sampling air, water, sediment, fish and food products, as well as measuring radiation directly. GGNS also samples milk, if commercial milk production occurs within five miles of the plant.
The REMP includes sampling indicator and control locations within an 18-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 naturally occurring background radioactivity. GGNS personnel compare indicator results with control and preoperational results to assess any impact GGNS operation might have on the surrounding environment.
In 2015, GGNS.personnel collected environmental samples for radiological analysis. The monitoring results for indicator locations when compared to control locations and previous studies show that GGNS has no significant effect on the local environment. The review of 2015 monitoring data, in many cases, showed undetectable radiation levels in the environment and near background levels in potential exposure pathways associated with GGNS.
Harmful Effects or Irreversible Damage The REMP monitoring did not detect any harmful effects or evidence of irreversible damage in the current year.
Reporting Levels When averaged over any calendar quarter, no environmental samples equaled or exceeded reporting levels for radioactivity as outlined in Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)
Specifications Table 6.12.1-2; the analytical results did not trigger any Radiological Monitoring Program Special Reports.
Radioactivity Not Attributable to GGNS Over previous years, the GGNS REMP detected radioactivity attributable to other sources.
These sources included the Chinese nuclear test in 1980 and the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. In 2011, the GGNS REMP detected radioactivity released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant following the March 11, 2011, Tohoku earthquake.
In 2015, the GGNS REMP detected no radioactivity attributable to other sources.
Comparison to Federal and State Programs 6
GGNS personnel compare REMP data to federal and state monitoring programs. Historically, the programs used for comparison included the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) Direct Radiation Monitoring Network and the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), Division of Radiological Health monitoring program.
Although the NRC TLD Network Program was discontinued in 1998, these results compared favorably to those from the GGNS REMP.
The MSDH and the GGNS REMP have similar monitoring requirements. These programs include co-located air sampling and sharing sample media such as water, sediment, fish and food products. Both programs have obtained similar results. The 2015 results of the MSDH monitoring program compared favorably with the GGNS REMP results.
Sample Deviations
- Milk The GGNS aDCM requires collection of milk samples if there is a commercially available source within 5 miles (8 km) of the plant. In 2015, the REMP did not include milk sampling because no commercial milk production occurred within 5 miles of GGNS.
GGNS personnel instead collected vegetation samples to monitor the ingestion pathway, as specified in aDCM Specifications Table 6.12.1-1.
- Required Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) Values Analytical lower limit of detection (LLD) values required by the aDCM specifications achieved in 2015 were within the limits for all samples.
- Thermoluminescent Dosimeters There were no deviations in 2015.
- Air Samples The following air sample locations had reduced run times due to weather-related power outages or mechanical problems. As described in aDCM Specification Table 6.12.1-1, footnote (a), deviations from the required sampling schedule are permitted due to malfunction of sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons.

AS-1 PG 99.9%
AS-361VA 99.2%
AS-7 UH 99.6%
- Missed Samples All required samples were collected in accordance with REMP requirements. There were no missed samples.
- Unavailable Results GGNS received analytical results in adequate time for inclusion in this report.
Program Modifications No REMP modifications took place during this sampling period.
During 2015, installation of an additional air monitoring station in the vicinity of a community located within the sector having the highest calculated XlQ was approved. Meteorological data indicates that Sector L is the sector with the highest calculated XlQ at the site boundary.
Implementation of the new air sampling location will be completed in 2016. The additional 8
monitoring location will enhance the site's radiological environmental monitoring program, and will demonstrate robust compliance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual requirements.
Discussion of the data collected from the new location will be included in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
Attachments contains results of TLD, air, water, sediment, fish, food products and special samples collected in the reporting period. TLDs were analyzed by Stanford Dosimetry of Sterling, MA. Other samples were analyzed by Teledyne Brown Engineering of Knoxville, TN.
Tables A 9.1 and A 9.2 includes results from Stanford Dosimetry's and Teledyne Brown Engineering's participation in interlaboratory comparison programs.

1.0 Introduction 1.1 R41diological Environmental Monitoring Program GGNS established the REMP to ensure that plant operating controls properly function to minimize any radiation that could endanger human health or the environment. The REMP is designed to:
- Analyze important pathways for anticipated types and quantities of radionuclides released into the environment,
- Consider the possibility of a buildup of long-lived radionuclides in the environment and identify any physical and biological accumulations that may contribute to human exposures,
- Consider the potential radiation exposure to plant and animal life in the environment surrounding GGNS,
- Correlate levels of radiation and radioactivity in the environment with radioactive releases from the operation of GGNS.
1.2 Pathways Monitored The airborne, direct radiation, waterborne and ingestion pathways, as seen in Figure 1-1 are monitored as required by the GGNS ODCM Table 6.12.1-1. A description of the GGNS REMP utilized to monitor the exposure pathways is provided in Table 1.2 and shown in Figures 1-2 and 1-3. GGNS may supplement this program with additional sampling in order to provide a comprehensive and well-balanced program.
Section 2.0 of this report provides a discussion of sampling results, with Section 3.0 providing a summary of results for the monitored exposure pathways.
1.3 Land Use Census GGNS personnel conduct a biennial land use census, as required by ODCM Specification 6.12.2. The most recent land use census data are included in Table 2.1. The purpose of this census is to identify land use changes within each of the 16 meteorological sectors and within a 5-mile radius of GGNS that would require modifications to the REMP or the ODCM. The census identifies the nearest:
- 1) Occupied and unoccupied residences 2 2
- 2) Garden of greater than 50 square meters (m ) [500 square feet (ft )]
producing broadleaf vegetation
- 3) Animal milked for human consumption 10
GGNS personnel conduct the land use census by:
- Conducting field surveys in each meteorological sector out to five miles in order to confirm:
- Nearest occupied residence
- Nearest unoccupied residence
- Nearest garden and approximate size
- Nearest milking animal
- Identifying locations on maps and aerial photographs, measuring distances to GGNS and recording results on surveillance data sheets
- Comparing current land use census results to previous results from the 2012 census
- Contacting the Claiborne County Agent for verification of nearest dairy animals No significant changes between the biennial land use census performed in 2012 and the most recent census performed in 2014 were identified that would require modifications to the REMP or the ODCM.

2.0 Interpretation and Trends of Results 2.1 Air Particulate and Radioiodine Sample Results GGNS did not detect any plant related gamma emitting radionuclides in the quarterly air particulate composites.
The REMP had previously detected airborne radioactivity attributable to other sources in this pathway. These sources include the Chinese nuclear test in 1980 and the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. The GGNS REMP detected radioactivity released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant following the March 11, 2011, Tohoku earthquake. No radioiodine was detected in 2015.
Table 3.1, which also includes gross beta activity, provides a comparison of the indicator and control means and ranges, further emphasizing that the airborne pathway remains at background levels. In the absence of plant-related gamma radionuclides, gross beta activity is attributed to naturally occurring radionuclides. Similar trends are present for control and indicator locations, which support the presence of naturally occurring radioactivity.
2.2 Thermoluminescent Dosimetry Sample Results GGNS calculates dose by subtracting shield readings from control and indicator location readings and reports measured dose as net exposure, normalized to 92 days. GGNS relies on the comparison of the indicator locations to the control location as an indication of plant impact. Gamma radiation dose in the reporting period is compared to control location readings for previous years as shown in Figure 2-1 .
The comparison of the indicator results to the control, and to previous indicator results, as seen in Figure 2-1 and Table 3.1, indicates that plant operation has had no significant impact on ambient radiation levels during the reporting period.
In previous years, TLD locations M-21 (Sector J, 0.4 miles), M-98 (Sector H, 0.5 miles),
and M-99 (Sector K, 0.4 miles) were above background. The dose rates at these three locations were the result of Nitrogen-16 (N-16) associated with the injection of hydrogen and subsequent N-16 production. Hydrogen injection into the feedwater system provides protection against Intergranular Stress Corrosion of plant components. Since November 2010, the hydrogen injection rate has been reduced and the dose rates at TLD locations M-21, M-98, and M-99 have returned to near background levels.

+1Q15 o2Q15 63Q15 x4Q15 0.0 2.3 Water Sample Results Surface water samples were collected from three indicator locations (Outfall 007, MRDOWN, and MRDOWN During Discharge) and one control location (MRUP) and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides and tritium. Plant related gamma emitting radionuclides and tritium remained undetectable in the upstream and downstream Mississippi River locations, which is consistent with preoperational and previous operational years. Storm waters contribute to Outfall 007 and can include tritium as a result of washout and entrainment of normal, previously monitored gaseous effluents.
As a result, tritium is occasionally observed. Tritium was measured during February (5280 +/- 961 pCi/L), April (950 +/- 554 pCi/L), October (607 +/- 339 pCi/L), and December (449 +/- 280 pCi/L) at the Outfall 007 (indicator) location. Duplicate samples from Outfall 007 during February (5090 +/- 950 pCi/L) and April (1200 +/- 586 pCi/L) showed similar tritium activity. Tritium was not observed in the remaining Outfall 007 samples collected during 2015.
In addition to the tritium samples required by the REMP, four special surface water samples for gamma emitting radionuclides were collected at the Outfall 007 location (Table A 8.1). Plant related gamma emitting radionuclides remained undetectable in these samples.
Based on review of results and historical data, plant operations had no significant impact on this pathway during the reporting period.
24
Groundwater samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control) and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides and tritium (Tables A 4.1 and A 4.2). In addition to the samples required by the REMP, an extra sample from the locations was analyzed for lodine-131 (Table A 4.3). GGNS did not detect any plant related gamma emitting radionuclides or tritium in groundwater samples during the reporting period.
Based on review of results and historical data, plant operations had no significant impact on this pathway during the reporting period.
2.4 Sediment Sample Results Sediment samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control) and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides. GGNS did not detect any plant related gamma emitting radionuclides or tritium in sediment samples during the reporting period.
Based on review of results and historical data, plant operations had no significant impact on this pathway during the reporting period.
2.5 Milk Sample Results Milk samples were not collected within five miles of the site in the reporting period due to the absence of milking animals. Since there are no dairies within five miles of GGNS, and based on non-detectable radioiodine and gamma radionuclides in air and vegetation samples, plant operations had no impact on this pathway during the reporting period.
2.6 Fish Sample Results Fish samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control) and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides. GGNS did not detect any plant related gamma emitting radionuclides in fish samples (edible portions) during the reporting period, as has been the case in preoperational and previous operational years. These results indicate that this pathway has not been affected by plant operations.
2.7 Food Product (Vegetation) Sample Results Food product samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control) and analyzed for lodine-131 and gamma emitting radionuclides. GGNS did not detect any plant related lodine-131 or gamma emitting radionuclides in vegetation samples during the reporting period. These results indicate that this pathway has not been affected by plant operations.
2.8 Land Use Census Results Results from the most recent Land Use Census performed in 2014 are included in this report. Methods utilized to perform the Land Use Census include: visual surveys, door to door surveys, telephone interviews, Global Positioning System (GPS), Aerial Photography, and consultation with the local county agent concerning dairy production in Claiborne County.
During the survey the following information was obtained:
- 1) nearest location of occupied and unoccupied residences 25
- 2) nearest location of dairy production
- 3) nearest location of gardens Changes from the previous Land Use Census were evaluated in accordance with GGNS surveillance "Land Use Census", 06-EN-SOOO-O-0002. The differences were compared to the locations and assumptions used in calculations for compliance with the ODCM Limiting Condition for Operation 6.11.6 and 6.12.2. The locations and assumptions currently used in ODCM were determined more conservative than any of the changes. Determinations from the most recent Land Use Census results are:
- Because of downwind location and/or distance from the site, in no case will the occupancy of an existing unoccupied residence cause any existing ODCM critical receptor calculation results to be less conservative.
- No additional sampling locations are required as the onsite vegetation sampling location (Sector J, 0.4 miles) is more conservative than changes identified in the land use census.
- Cattle are raised for human consumption (most notably in Sectors F, H, J, and K). GGNS uses the Grass/Cow/Meat pathway.
- The milk pathway does not need to be activated because no commercial dairy production is occurring within 5 miles, as referenced by ODCM Table 6.12.1-1.
- Sectors M, N, P, and Q are remote areas in which the primary use is hunting.
Areas were surveyed by vehicle, aerial photographs, and interviews.
- Gardens, regardless of size, were included in the census data Although not procedurally required, it is recommended that the next ODCM revision include an update to Table 2.2-3 to reflect the latest Land Use Census results.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Routine quality control (QC) testing was performed for dosimeters issued by the Environmental Dosimetry Company (EDC) .
During this annual period, 100 % (72/72) of the individual dosimeters, evaluated against the EDC internal performance acceptance criteria (high-energy photons only), met the criterion for accuracy and 100% (72/72) met the criterion for precision (Table 1). In addition, 100% (12/12) of the dosimeter sets evaluated against the internal tolerance limits met EDC acceptance criteria (Table 2) and 100% (6/6) of independent testing passed the performance criteria (Table 3). Trending graphs, which evaluate performance statistic for high-energy photon irradiations and co-located stations are given in Appendix A.
One internal assessment was performed in 2015. There were no findings.

I. INTRODUCTION The TLD systems at the Environmental Dosimetry Company (EDC) are calibrated and operated to ensure consistent and accurate evaluation of TLDs. The quality of the dosimetric results reported to EDC clients is ensured by in-house performance testing and independent performance testing by EDC clients, and both internal and client directed program assessments.
The purpose of the dosimetry quality assurance program is to provide performance documentation of the routine processing of EDC dosimeters. Performance testing provides a statistical measure of the bias and precision of dosimetry processing against a reliable standard, which in turn points out any trends or performance changes. Two programs are used:
A. QC Program Dosimetry quality control tests are performed on EDC Panasonic 814 Environmental dosimeters. These tests include: (1) the in-house testing program coordinated by the EDC QA Officer and (2) independent test perform by EDC clients. In-house test are performed using six pairs of 814 dosimeters, a pair is reported as an individual result and six pairs are reported as the mean result.
Results of these tests are described in this report.
Excluded from this report are instrumentation checks. Although instrumentation checks represent an important aspect of the quality assurance program, they are not included as process checks in this report. Instrumentation checks represent between 5-10% of the TLDs processed.
B. QA Program An internal assessment of dosimetry activities is conducted annually by the Quality Assurance Officer (Reference 1). The purpose of the assessment is to review procedures, results, materials or components to identify opportunities to improve or enhance processes and/or services.
II. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION CRITERIA A. Acceptance Criteria for Internal Evaluations
- 1. Bias For each dosimeter tested, the measure of bias is the percent deviation of the reported result relative to the delivered exposure. The percent deviation relative to the delivered exposure is calculated as follows:
where:
H; = the corresponding reported exposure for the l" dosimeter (i.e., the reported exposure)
Hi = the exposure delivered to the l" irradiated dosimeter (i.e., the delivered exposure) 1 of 6
- 2. Mean Bias For each group of test dosimeters, the mean bias is the average percent deviation of the reported result relative to the delivered exposure. The mean percent deviation relative to the delivered exposure is calculated as follows:
where:
H; = the corresponding reported exposure for the ith dosimeter (i.e., the reported exposure)
Hi = the exposure delivered to the l" irradiated test dosimeter (i.e., the delivered exposure) n = the number of dosimeters in the test group
- 3. Precision For a group of test dosimeters irradiated to a given exposure, the measure of precision is the percent deviation of individual results relative to the mean reported exposure. At least two values are required for the determination of precision. The measure of precision for the ith dosimeter is:
where:
H; = the reported exposure for the ith dosimeter (i.e., the reported exposure)
R = the mean reported exposure; i.e., R= IH:(~)
n = the number of dosimeters in the test group
- 4. EDC Internal Tolerance Limits All evaluation criteria are taken from the "EDC Quality System Manual,"
(Reference 2). These criteria are only applied to individual test dosimeters irradiated with high-energy photons (Cs-137) and are as follows for Panasonic Environmental dosimeters: +/- 15% for bias and +/-
12.8% for precision.
2 of 6
B. QC Investigation Criteria and Result Reporting EDC Quality System Manual (Reference 2) specifies when an investigation is required due to a QC analysis that has failed the EDC bias criteria. The criteria are as follows:
- 1. No investigation is necessary when an individual QC result falls outside the QC performance criteria for accuracy.
- 2. Investigations are initiated when the mean of a QC processing batch is outside the performance criterion for bias.
C. Reporting of Environmental Dosimetry Results to EDC Customers
- 1. All results are to be reported in a timely fashion.
- 2. If the QA Officer determines that an investigation is required for a process, the results shall be issued as normal. If the QC results, prompting the investigation, have a mean bias from the known of greater than +/-20%, the results shall be issued with a note indicating that they may be updated in the future, pending resolution of a QA issue.
- 3. Environmental dosimetry results do not require updating if the investigation has shown that the mean bias between the original results and the corrected results, based on applicable correction factors from the investigation, does not exceed +/-20 %
- III. DATA
SUMMARY
FOR ISSUANCE PERIOD JANUARY-DECEMBER 2015 A. General Discussion Results of performance tests conducted are summarized and discussed in the following sections. Summaries of the performance tests for the reporting period are given in Tables 1 through 3 and Figures 1 through 4.
Table 1 provides a summary of individual dosimeter results evaluated against the EDC internal acceptance criteria for high-energy photons only. During this period, 100% (72/72) of the individual dosimeters, evaluated against these criteria met the tolerance limits for accuracy and 100% (72/72) met the criterion for precision.
A graphical interpretation is provided in Figures 1 and 2.
Table 2 provides the Bias + Standard deviation results for each group (N=6) of dosimeters evaluated against the internal tolerance criteria. Overall, 100%
(12/12) of the dosimeter sets evaluated against the internal tolerance performance criteria met these criteria. A graphical interpretation is provided in Figures 3 Table 3 presents the independent blind spike results for dosimeters processed during this annual period. All results passed the performance acceptance criterion. Figure 4 is a graphical interpretation of Seabrook Station blind co-located station results.

B. Result Trending One of the main benefits of performing quality control tests on a routine basis is to identify trends or performance changes. The results of the Panasonic environmental dosimeter performance tests are presented in Appendix A. The results are evaluated against each of the performance criteria listed in Section II, namely: individual dosimeter accuracy, individual dosimeter precision, and mean bias.
All of the results presented in Appendix A are plotted sequentially by processing date.
IV. STATUS OF EDC CONDITION REPORTS (CR)
No condition reports were issued during this annual period.
V. STATUS OF AUDITS/ASSESSMENTS A. Internal EDC Internal Quality Assurance Assessment was conducted during the fourth quarter 2015. There were no findings identified.
B. External None.
VI. PROCEDURES AND MANUALS REVISED DURING JANUARY - DECEMBER 2015 Procedure 1052 was revised on December 23, 2015. Several procedures were reissued with no changes as part of the 5 year review cycle.
VII. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The quality control evaluations continue to indicate the dosimetry processing programs at the EDC satisfy the criteria specified in the Quality System Manual. The EDC demonstrated the ability to meet all applicable acceptance criteria.

For the TBE laboratory, 131 out of 139 analyses performed met the specified acceptance criteria. Eight analyses (AP - Cr-51 , U-234/233, Gr A, Sr-90; Soil Sr-90; Water - Ni-3 and U natural; Vegetation Sr-90 samples) did not meet the specified acceptance criteria for the following reasons:
- 1. Teledyne Brown Engineering's Analytics' June 2015 air particulate Cr-51 result of 323 +/- 45.5 pCi was higher than the known value of 233 pCi with a ratio of 1.39. The upper ratio of 1.20 was exceeded.
The air particulate sample is counted on a shelf (above the detector), which is the ideal geometry for this sample. But due to the fact that Cr-51 has the shortest half-life and the weakest gamma energy of the mixed nuclide sample, this geometry produces a larger error for the Cr-51. Taking into consideration the uncertainty, the activity of Cr-51 overlaps with the known value at a ratio of 1.19, which would be considered acceptable. NCR 15-18
- 2. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 soil Sr-90 result of 286 Total Bq/kg was lower than the known value of 653 Bq/kg, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 487 Bq/kg. The failure was due to incomplete digestion of the sample. NCR 15-13
- 3. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 air particulate U-234/233 result of 0.0211 Bq/sample was higher than the known value of 0.0155 Bq/sample, exceeding the upper acceptance range of 0.0202 Bq/sample. Due to the extremely low activity, it was difficult to quantify the U-234/233. Taking into consideration the uncertainty, the activity of U-234/233 overlaps with the known value, which is statistically considered the same value. NCR 15-13
- 4. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP March 2015 air particulate gross alpha result of 0.448 Bq/sample was lower than the known value of 1.77 Bq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 0.53 Bq/sample. The efficiency used for gross alpha is made from a non-attenuated alpha standard. The MAPEP filter has the alphas embedded in the filter, requiring an attenuated efficiency. In order to correct the low bias, TBE will create an attenuated efficiency for MAPEP air particulate filters. NCR 15-13
- 5. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP September water Ni-63 result of 11.8 +/- 10.8 Bq/L was higher than the known value of 8.55 Bq/L, exceeding the upper acceptance range of 11.12 Bq/L. The original sample was run with a 10 mL aliquot which was not sufficient for the low level of Ni-63 in the sample. The rerun aliquot of 30 mL produced an acceptable result of 8.81 Bq/L. NCR 15-21
- 6. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP September air particulate Sr-90 result of 1.48 Bq/sample was lower than the known value of 2.18 Bq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 1.53
Bq/sample. In the past, MAPEP has added substances (unusual compounds found in DOE complexes) to various matrices that have resulted in incomplete removal of the isotope of interest for the laboratories analyzing the cross checks. We feel that this is possibly the case with this sample. NCR 15-21
- 7. Teledyne Brown Engineering's MAPEP September vegetation Sr-90 result of 0.386 Bq/sample was lower than the known value of 1.30 Bq/sample, exceeding the lower acceptance range of 0.91 Bq/sample. In the past, MAPEP has added substances (unusual compounds found in DOE complexes) to various matrices that have resulted in incomplete removal of the isotope of interest for the laboratories analyzing the cross checks. We feel that this is possibly the case with this sample. NCR 15-21
- 8. Teledyne Brown Engineering's ERA November water Uranium natural result of 146.9 pCi/L was higher than the known value of 56.2 pCi/L, exceeding the upper acceptance limit of 62.4 pCi/L.
The technician failed to dilute the original sample, but used the entire 12 mL sample. When recalculated using the 12 mL aliquot, the result of 57.16 agreed with the assigned value of 56.2. NCR 15-19
