Intentionally Left Blank I. Summary and Conclusions This report on the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program conducted for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMINS) by Constellation covers the period 1 January 2022 through 31 December 2022. During that time period, 1,645 analyses were performed on 1,311 samples. In assessing all the data gathered for this report and comparing these results with preoperational data and operational REMP data, it was concluded that the operation of TMINS had no adverse radiological impact on the environment.
Surface, drinking and effluent water samples were analyzed for concentrations of tritium and gamma-emitting nuclides. Surface, drinking and effluent water samples were also analyzed for concentrations of iodine-131 (I-131). Drinking and effluent water samples were also analyzed for concentrations of gross beta. Effluent water samples were analyzed for concentrations of strontium-89 (Sr-89) and strontium-90 (Sr-90). All groundwater, precipitation water, and stormwater results are reported in the ARGPPR, Appendix F. No I-131, Sr-89 or Sr-90 activities were detected.
Gross beta concentrations detected were consistent with those detected in previous years. Tritium activity in surface water and effluent water sample was due to TMINS activities or releases. No other fission or activation products potentially attributed to TMI liquid releases were detected.
Fish (predator and bottom feeder) and sediment samples were analyzed for concentrations of gamma-emitting nuclides. Fish samples were also analyzed for concentrations of Sr-90. No Sr-90 activity was detected. No fission or activation products were detected in fish or in sediment samples.
Air particulate samples were analyzed for concentrations of gross beta and gamma-emitting nuclides. Gross beta activity is consistent with data from previous years. Cosmogenic beryllium-7 (Be-7) was detected at levels consistent with those detected in previous years. No other activation products were detected.
High-sensitivity I-131 analyses were performed on weekly air samples. All results were less than the minimum detectable activity for I-131.
Cow milk samples were analyzed for concentrations of I-131, gamma-emitting nuclides, Sr-89 and Sr-90. Concentrations of naturally occurring potassium-40 (K-40) were consistent with those detected in previous years. No I-131, Sr-89 or Sr-90 activities were detected. Occasionally Sr-90 activity may be detected and attributed to fallout from nuclear weapons testing. No other fission or activation products were found.
Food Product samples were analyzed for concentrations of gamma-emitting nuclides including I-131 and Sr-90. Concentrations of naturally occurring Be-7 and K-40 were consistent with those detected in previous years. No other fission or activation products were detected.
Beginning in 2012, Constellation (formerly Exelon) changed the type of dosimetry used for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimetry (OSLD) were deployed and ThermoLumin-escent Dosimetry (TLD) were discontinued. This change resulted in a slight 1
change in process and reporting of quarterly results. The relative comparison to control locations remains valid. OSLD technology is different than that used in a TLD but has the same purpose (to measure direct radiation).
In conclusion, radioactive materials related to TMINS operations were detected in environmental samples, but the measured concentrations were low and consistent with measured effluents. The environmental sample results verified that the doses received by the public from TMINS effluents in 2022 were well below applicable dose limits and only a small fraction of the doses received from natural background radiation. Additionally, the results indicated that there was no permanent buildup of radioactive materials in the environment and no increase in background radiation levels.
Therefore, based on the results of the radiological environmental monitoring program (REMP) and the doses calculated from measured effluents, TMINS operations in 2022 did not have any adverse effects on the health of the public or on the environment.

II. Introduction The Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMINS), consisting of two pressurized water reactors (PWR), is located on the northern end of Three Mile Island in the Susquehanna River approximately 2.5 miles south of Middletown in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. TMI-1 is owned and operated by Constellation Energy Company (formerly Exelon) and became operational in 1974.
TMI-2 is operated and owned by TMI-2 Solutions, LLC. TMI-2 became operational in 1978 and was shut down following the 1979 accident. At the end of 1993 TMI-2 was placed in a condition called Post-Defueling Monitored Storage. TMI-2 is maintained by Energy Solutions under contract with TMI-2 Solutions. LLC.
A Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for TMINS was initiated in 1974. This report covers those analyses performed by Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE), Landauer and Constellation Energy Group (CEG)/GEL Laboratories on samples collected during the period 1 January 2022 through 31 December 2022.
A. Objectives of the REMP The objectives of the REMP are to:
- 1. Evaluate the relationship between quantities of radioactive material released from the plant and resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure.
- 2. Provide data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the site environs.
- 3. To verify in-plant controls for the containment of radioactive materials.
- 4. To determine buildup of long-lived radionuclides in the environment and changes in background radiation levels.
- 5. To provide reassurance to the public that the program is capable of adequately assessing impacts and identifying noteworthy changes in the radiological status of the environment.
- 6. To fulfill the requirements of the TMI-1 and TMI-2 Technical Specifications.
B. Implementation of the Objectives The implementation of the objectives is accomplished by:
- 1. Identifying significant exposure pathways.
- 2. Establishing baseline radiological data of media within those pathways.
- 3. Continuously monitoring those media before and during Station operation to assess Station radiological effects (if any) on man and the environment.

III. Program Description A. Sample Collection Samples for the TMINS REMP were collected for Constellation by Constellation Energy Group (CEG) and Normandeau Associates, Inc. (NAI).
This section describes the general collection methods used by EIS & NAI to obtain environmental samples for the TMINS REMP in 2022. Sample locations and descriptions can be found in Tables B-1 and B-2, and Figures B-1 through B-3, Appendix B. The collection procedures used by EIS & NAI are listed in Table B-3.
Aquatic Environment The aquatic environment was evaluated by performing radiological analyses on samples of surface water, drinking water, effluent water, fish and sediment. Two gallon water samples were collected monthly from continuous samplers located at two surface water locations (J1-2 and Q9-1),
three drinking water locations (G15-2, G15-3 and Q9-1), and one effluent water location (K1-1). A composite of weekly grab samples at one surface water location (A3-2) were collected. The control locations were A3-2 and Q9-1. All groundwater and storm water results are reported in the ARGPPR, Appendix F.
All water samples were collected in unused plastic bottles, which were rinsed at least twice with source water prior to collection. Fish samples comprising the flesh of two groups, bottom feeders and predators, were collected semiannually at an upstream control (BKG) and a downstream indicator (IND) location. Location IND could be affected by TMINS effluent releases. Sediment samples composed of recently deposited substrate were collected semiannually at three locations (A1-3, J2-1 and K1-3).
Location A1-3 was the control.
Atmospheric Environment The atmospheric environment was evaluated by performing radiological analyses on samples of air particulates and airborne iodine. Airborne iodine and particulate samples were collected and analyzed weekly at seven locations (A3-1, E1-2, F1-3, G2-1, H3-1, M2-1 and Q15-1). The control location was Q15-1. Airborne iodine and particulate samples were obtained at each location, using a vacuum pump with charcoal and glass fiber filters attached. The pumps were run continuously and sampled air at the rate of approximately one cubic foot per minute. The filters were replaced weekly and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Terrestrial Environment The terrestrial environment was evaluated by performing radiological analyses on samples of milk and food product. Milk samples were collected biweekly at four locations (F4-1, G2-1, J18-1 and P4-1) from March through November, and monthly from December through February. A single sample was collected in January from control location K15-3. This control location 4
was replaced with J18-1 in March. All samples were collected in new unused two gallon plastic bottles from the bulk tank at each location, preserved with sodium bisulfite and shipped promptly to the laboratory.
Food products were collected from June through September at three locations (B10-2, E1-2 and H1-2), in lieu of milk sampling and annually from the four food product groups at two locations (B10-2 and E1-2). B10-2 was the control location for both annual and monthly sampling. Three different kinds of vegetation samples and nine different kinds of vegetation leaves were collected, placed in new unused plastic bags, and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Ambient Gamma Radiation Beginning in 2012, Constellation changed the type of dosimetry used for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimetry (OSLD) were deployed and Thermo-Luminescent Dosimetry (TLD) were discontinued. This change may result in a step change in readings, up or down, depending on site characteristics.
The relative comparison to control locations remains valid. OSLD technology is different than that used in a TLD but has the same purpose (to measure direct radiation). The OSLDs were placed at locations on and around the TMINS site as follows:
A site boundary ring consisting of 22 locations (A1-4, B1-2, C1-2, D1-1, E1-4, F1-2, F1-4, G1-3, G1-5, G1-6, H1-1, H1-3, J1-4, J1-3, K1-4, K1-5, L1-1, M1-1, N1-3, P1-2, Q1-2 and R1-1) near and within the site perimeter representing fence post doses (i.e., at locations where the doses will be potentially greater than maximum annual off-site doses) from TMINS release.
An indicator ring consisting of 60 locations (A3-1, A5-1, A9-3, B1-1, B2-1, B5-1, B10-1, C1-1, C2-1, C5-1, C8-1, D1-2, D2-2, D6-1, E1-2, E2-3, E5-1, E7-1, F1-1, F2-1, F5-1, F10-1, G1-2, G2-4, G5-1, H1-3, H3-1, H5-1, H8-1, J1-1, J1-4, J3-1, J5-1, J7-1, K1-5, K2-1, K3-1, K5-1, K8-1, L1-2, L2-1, L5-1, L8-1, M1-2, M2-1, M5-1, M9-1, N1-1, N2-1, N5-1, N8-1, P1-1, P2-1, P5-1, P8-1, Q1-1, Q2-1, Q5-1, Q9-1, R1-2, R3-1, R5-1 and R9-1) extending to approximately 10 miles from the site, designed to measure possible exposures to close-in population.
The balance of 11 locations (D15-1, F25-1, G10-1, G15-1, H15-1, J15-1, K15-1, L15-1, N15-2, Q15-1 and R15-1) represent control areas.
The specific dosimeter locations were determined by the following criteria:
- 1. The presence of relatively dense population;
- 2. Site meteorological data taking into account distance and elevation for each of the sixteen 221/2 degree sectors around the site, where estimated annual dose from TMINS, if any, would be most significant;
- 3. On hills free from local obstructions and within sight of the vents (where practical);
5
- 4. And near the closest dwelling to the vents in the prevailing downwind direction.
Each station has two Al2O3:C Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeters enclosed in plastic placed at each location in a frame located approximately 3-6 feet above ground level. Since each OSLD responds to radiation independently, this provides two independent detectors at each station.
B. Sample Analysis This section describes the general analytical methods used by TBE and CEG/GEL to analyze the environmental samples for radioactivity for the TMINS REMP in 2022. The analytical procedures used by the laboratories are listed in Table B-3.
In order to achieve the stated objectives, the current program includes the following analyses:
- 1. Concentrations of beta-emitters in drinking and effluent water and air particulates
- 2. Concentrations of gamma-emitters in surface, drinking, and effluent water, air particulates, milk, fish, sediment and food products
- 3. Concentrations of tritium in surface, drinking and effluent water
- 4. Concentrations of I-131 in surface, drinking and effluent water, air, milk and food products
- 5. Concentrations of strontium in effluent water, fish, milk and food products
- 6. Ambient gamma radiation levels at various site environs C. Data Interpretation Data were compared to previous years' operational data for consistency and trending. In addition, comparison to pre-operational data is sometimes made. For the purpose of this report, TMINS was considered operational at initial criticality. Several factors were important in the interpretation of the data:
- 1. Lower Limit of Detection and Minimum Detectable Concentration The lower limit of detection (LLD) was defined as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that would yield a net count (above background) that would be detected with only a 5%
probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal. The LLD was intended as a before the fact estimate of a system (including instrumentation, procedure and sample type) and not as an after the fact criteria for the presence of activity. All analyses were designed to achieve the required TMINS detection capabilities for environmental sample analysis.
6
The minimum detectable concentration (MDC) is defined above with the exception that the measurement is an after the fact estimate of the presence of activity.
- 2. Net Activity Calculation and Reporting of Results Net activity for a sample was calculated by subtracting background activity from the sample activity. Since the REMP measures extremely small changes in radioactivity in the environment, background variations may result in sample activity being lower than the background activity affecting a negative number. An MDC was reported in all cases where positive activity was not detected.
Gamma spectroscopy results for each type of sample were grouped as follows:
For surface, drinking, and effluent water 11 nuclides, Mn-54, Co-58, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65, Nb-95, Zr-95, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ba-140 and La-140 MDCs were reported.
For fish eight nuclides, K-40, Mn-54, Co-58, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65, Cs-134 and Cs-137 MDCs were reported.
For sediment six nuclides, K-40, Mn-54, Co-58, Co-60, Cs-134 and Cs-137 MDCs were reported.
For air particulate eight nuclides, Be-7, Mn-54, Co-58, Co-60, Nb-95, Zn-95, Cs-134 and Cs-137 MDCs were reported.
For milk five nuclides, K-40, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ba-140 and La-140 MDCs were reported. In order to meet MDC requirements, I-131 is prepped and analyzed by a different methodology than gamma spectroscopy.
For food products five nuclides, Be-7, K-40, I-131, Cs-134 and Cs-137 MDCs were reported.
Means and standard deviations of the results were calculated. The standard deviations represent the variability of measured results for different samples rather than single analysis uncertainty.
D. Program Exceptions For 2022, the TMINS REMP had a sample recovery rate of >99%. Issue Reports (IR) were initiated to document significant exceptions and missing samples. All exceptions are listed below:
Water Q9-1 (Surface Water and Drinking Water)
For the sampling periods 01/01/22 - 04/02/22 and 04/02/22 - 04/23/22, composite samplers were not set back up for collection due to no access to plant for visitors because of COVID. Weekly grab samples were collected by a plant worker at both locations and used to make a monthly composite.
Composite samplers were set up on 04/23/22 and routine compositing continued from that date. (IRs 4499010 and 4517062) 7
Milk (P4-1)
On 08/03/22, TMI REMP biweekly collection efforts for the P4-1 milk farm did not have samples available due to farmer selling his herd. No samplers were available at the location for the collection. The samples will not be available for the near future (period 09/03/22 - 12/31/22).
Dosimetry (E1-2)
During the routine TMI air sampling tour for 09/01/22, the CGS the field technician arrived at the TMI E1-2 sample station for air collection and found the two main dosimeters of legal record plus the QA dosimeter for the REMP program were missing. The field tech did a complete sweep of the area, but nothing was found. The previous AR for lost samples at the site are 04394059 and 04466619. The missing dosimeter numbers are EX000601061, EX00082424R and EX00081796B. The dosimeters were replaced. (IR 4520477)
Air Samplers
- 1. G2-1 (Sample period 06/11/22 - 06/16/22)
Upon arrival at the G2-1 air sampler station on 06/16/22 for TMI air sample collection in support of the REMP program, the field tech found that the pump for G2-1 was not functioning as expected. Although running, vacuum was much higher than normal. The field tech diagnosed the issue to an Internal issue with the air pump. Suspected sample loss due to the issue. (IR 4506053)
- 2. M2-1 (Sample period 10/01/22 - 10/06/22)
Upon arrival at the M2-1 air sampler station on 10/06/22 for TMI air sample collection in support of the REMP program, the field tech found that the AP filter for M2-1 had developed a hole in the sample.
Suspected sample loss due to the weather. (IR 4527418)
Each program exception was reviewed to understand the causes of the program exception. Sampling and maintenance errors were reviewed with the personnel involved to prevent recurrence. Occasional equipment breakdowns and power outages were unavoidable. The overall sample recovery rate indicates that the appropriate procedures and equipment are in place to assure reliable program implementation.
E. Program Changes OSLD K1-5 was added at the site boundary and OSLDs H1-3 and J1-4 were added as closest to the ISFSI pad.
There were no other changes to the program in 2022.

IV. Results and Discussion A. Aquatic Environment
- 1. Surface Water Samples were taken weekly from a continuous sampler at one location (J1-2) and weekly grab samples from two locations (Q9-1 and A3-2).
Weekly samples were composited on a monthly schedule. Of these locations only J1-2 located downstream could be affected by TMINS effluent releases. The following analyses were performed:
Tritium Monthly samples from J1-2 and Q9-1 were analyzed for tritium activity (Table C-I.1, Appendix C). Positive tritium activity was detected in 4 of 12 samples at location J1-2, which is located immediately downstream of the TMINS effluent outfall. The concentrations ranged from 741 to 1,070 pCi/L, well below any regulatory limits. The indicator surface water sample is taken just downstream of the liquid discharge outfall where mixing of liquid effluents with the river water is incomplete. More complete mixing is not achieved until liquid effluents pass over the York Haven Dam. This water is normally not consumed by humans.
(Figures C-1 and C-2, Appendix C)
Iodine Monthly samples were taken from location A3-2 and analyzed for I-131. This is a control or background station sampled because known medical discharges of radiopharmaceuticals occur into the surface water upstream of TMI from a nearby hospital. I-131 activity was not detected in any sample. (Table C-I.2, Appendix C).

The results from the Control location (Group III) ranged from 8 to 32E-3 pCi/m3 with a mean of 17E-3 pCi/m3. Comparison of the 2022 air particulate data with previous years data indicate no effects from the operation of TMINS (Figure C-6, Appendix C). In addition, a comparison of the weekly mean values for 2022 indicate no notable differences between indicator and control stations. (Figure C-7, Appendix C)

(Table C-VIII.3, Appendix C).
- b. Food Products Food products were collected monthly at three locations (B10-2, E1-2 and H1-2), in lieu of milk sampling, and annually from the four food product groups at two locations (B10-2 and E1-2). B10-2 was the control location for both annual and monthly sampling. The following analyses were performed:
Strontium Six food product samples were analyzed for concentrations of Sr-90. No Sr-90 activity was detected in any sample.
(Table C-IX.1, Appendix C)
Gamma Spectrometry Each food product sample was analyzed for concentrations of gamma-emitting nuclides. Naturally occurring Be-7 due to cosmic ray activity was detected in 25 of 48 samples with concentrations ranging from 313 to 4,583 pCi/kg. Naturally occurring K-40 activity was found in all samples. The concentrations ranged from 1,867 to 6,698 pCi/kg. All other nuclides were less than the MDC.
(Table C-IX.1, Appendix C)
C. Ambient Gamma Radiation Ambient gamma radiation levels were measured utilizing Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeters (OSLD). Ninety-three OSLD locations were established around the site. Results of OSLD measurements are listed in Tables C-X.1 to C-X.3, Appendix C.
The nearest resident to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) saw no detectable gamma radiation levels above background due to ISFSI. Therefore, ISFSI operations did not have an impact to members of the public in 2022.
All of the OSLD measurements were below 37 mR/quarter, with a range of 12.5 to 36.6 mR/standard quarter. A comparison of the Site Boundary and 13
Indicator data to the Control Location data, indicate that the ambient gamma radiation levels from the Control Locations D15-1, F25-1, G10-1, G15-1, H15-1, J15-1, K15-1, L15-1, N15-2, Q15-1 and R15-1 averaged higher than indicator stations. Locations D15-1, F25-1, G10-1, G15-1, H15-1, J15-1, K15-1, L15-1, N15-2, Q15-1 and R15-1 have a historical high bias, and this bias is most likely due to radon and other naturally occurring nuclides, e.g.
K-40, emanating from the ground.
D. Independent Spent Fuel Storage Instillation (ISFSI)
ISFSI operations began in October 2021. Forty-two casks and 1 GTCC container were added to the GCE ISFSI pad in 2022 utilizing the NAC MAGNASTOR System. Site boundary Environmental OSLD's, which measure gamma radiation closest to ISFSI are C1-2, D1-1, E1-4, F1-2, G1-3, K1-3, K1-5, L1-1, M1-1 and N1-3. OSLD K1-5 was added at the site boundary and OSLD's H1-3 and J1-4 were added as closest to the ISFSI pad. There was no radiation detected above background. Therefore, there was no direct radiation attributed to TMI from ISFSI operations to any resident.
E. Land Use Survey A Land Use Survey conducted in the 2022 fall growing season around the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMINS) was performed by Constellation Energy Group (CEG) for compliance with TMI-2 Tech Spec 6.7.2.b and Section 8.2 of the Plant's Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). The purpose of the survey was to document the nearest resident, milk-producing animal and garden of greater than 500 ft2 in each of the sixteen 221/2 degree sectors around the site. The results of these surveys are summarized below:

F. Radiological Impact of TMINS Operations An assessment of potential radiological impact indicated that radiation doses to the public from 2022 operations at TMINS were well below all applicable regulatory limits and were significantly less than doses received from natural sources of radiation. The 2022 whole body dose potentially received by an assumed maximum exposed individual from TMI-1 and TMI-2 liquid and airborne effluents was conservatively calculated to be 0.009 mrem. This dose is equivalent to 0.003% of the dose that an individual living in the TMI area receives each year from natural background radiation.
- 1. Determination of Radiation Doses to the Public Dose assessments can be performed by using either effluent data and an environmental transport model or environmental sample data. To the extent possible, doses to the public are based on the direct measurement of dose rates from external sources and the measurement of radionuclide concentrations in environmental media which may contribute to an internal dose of radiation. Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimetry (OSLDs) positioned in the environment around TMINS provide measurements to determine external radiation doses to humans. Samples of air, water and food products are used to determine internal doses.
The quantity of radioactive materials released during normal operations are typically too small to be measured once distributed in the offsite environment. Therefore, the potential offsite doses are more effectively calculated for TMINS operations using a computerized model that predicts concentrations of radioactive materials in the environment and subsequent radiation doses based on measured effluents.
Doses are calculated using a model that incorporates the guidelines and methodology set forth by the USNRC in Regulatory Guide 1.109 and NUREG 0133. Due to the conservative assumptions that are used in the model, the calculated doses are generally higher than the doses based on actual environmental sample concentrations.
Therefore, the model predicts doses that are higher than actual doses received by people. The type and amount of radioactivity released from TMINS is calculated using measurements from effluent sample analyses.
Airborne releases are diluted and carried away from the site by atmospheric diffusion, which continuously acts to disperse radioactivity.
Variables that affect atmospheric dispersion include wind speed, temperature at different elevations, terrain, and shift in wind direction. A weather station on the north end of TMI is linked to a data logger that records the meteorological data.
Computer models also are used to predict the downstream dilution and travel times for liquid releases into the Susquehanna River. Actual monthly Susquehanna River flows are obtained from the USGS Stream gauging station 01570500 located at Harrisburg, PA.
The human exposure pathways also are included in the model and are 15
depicted in Figure 1. The exposure pathways that are considered for the discharge of TMINS liquid effluents are consumption of drinking water and fish. The exposure pathways considered for the discharge of TMINS airborne effluents are plume exposure, inhalation, cow milk consumption, fruit and vegetable consumption, and meat consumption.
When determining the dose to humans, it is necessary to consider all applicable pathways and all exposed tissues, summing the dose from each to provide the total dose for each organ as well as the whole body from a given radionuclide. Dose calculations involve determining the energy absorbed per unit mass in the various tissues. Thus, for radionuclides taken into the body, the metabolism of the radionuclide in the body must be known along with the physical characteristics of the nuclide such as energies, types of radiations emitted and half-life. The dose assessment model also contains dose conversion factors for the radionuclides for each of four age groups (adults, teenagers, children and infants) and eight organs (total body, thyroid, liver, skin, kidney, lung, bone and GI tract).
- 2. Result of Dose Calculations The maximum hypothetical doses due to 2022 TMI-1 and TMI-2 liquid and airborne effluents are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 compares the calculated maximum hypothetical individual doses to the USNRC 10 CFR 50 App. I guidelines. This table also compares the calculated doses (to an individual of the public) from effluents and direct radiation to USEPA 40 CFR 190 dose limits. Table 2 presents the maximum hypothetical whole body doses to an individual. As shown in Table 1, the doses calculated for 2022 operations at TMINS were well below the Federal dose limits (USEPA 40 CFR 190) and the guidelines of USNRC 10 CFR 50 App. I. This conclusion was supported by radionuclide concentrations detected in actual environmental samples.
Doses from natural background radiation provide a baseline for assessing the potential public health significance of radioactive effluents. Natural background radiation from cosmic, terrestrial and natural radionuclides in the human body (not including radon), averages about 81 mrem/yr (Ref.
5). Additionally, the average individual living in the United States receives an annual dose of about 2,760 mrem to the lung from natural radon gas.
This lung dose is considered to be equivalent to a whole (or total) body dose of 230 mrem (Ref. 5). Therefore, the average person in the United States receives a whole-body dose of about 311 mrem/yr from natural background radiation sources.
As shown on Table 2, the maximum hypothetical whole body dose received by an individual from 2022 TMI-1 and TMI-2 liquid and airborne effluents combined was conservatively calculated to be 0.009 mrem.
This dose is equivalent to 0.003% percent of the dose that an individual living in the TMI area receives each year from natural background radiation (311 mrem).
16
The low doses calculated for 2022 TMINS operations were the result of efforts to maintain releases "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA).
In conclusion, radioactive materials related to 2022 TMINS operations were detected in environmental samples, but the measured concentrations were low and consistent with measured effluents. The environmental sample results verified that the doses received by the public from TMINS effluents in 2022 were well below applicable dose limits and only a small fraction of the doses received from natural background radiation. Additionally, the results indicated that there was no permanent buildup of radioactive materials in the environment and no increase in background radiation levels.
Therefore, based on the results of the radiological environmental monitoring program (REMP) and the doses calculated from measured effluents, TMINS operations in 2022 did not have any adverse effects on the health of the public or on the environment.

H. Summary of Results - Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program The primary and other secondary laboratories analyzed Performance Evaluation (PE) samples of air particulate, air iodine, milk, soil, vegetation and water matrices (Appendix E). The PE samples, supplied by Analytics Inc., Environmental Resource Associates (ERA) and DOEs MAPEP, were evaluated against the following pre-set acceptance criteria:
- 1. Analytics Evaluation Criteria Analytics evaluation report provides a ratio of TBEs result and Analytics known value. Since flag values are not assigned by Analytics, TBE-ES evaluates the reported ratios based on internal QC requirements, which are based on DOE MAPEP criteria.
- 2. ERA Evaluation Criteria ERAs evaluation report provides an acceptance range for control and warning limits with associated flag values. ERAs acceptance limits are established per the USEPA, NELAC, state specific PT program requirements or ERAs SOP for the Generation of Performance Acceptance Limits, as applicable. The acceptance limits are either determined by a regression equation specific to each analyte or a fixed percentage limit promulgated under the appropriate regulatory document.
- 3. DOE Evaluation Criteria MAPEPs evaluation report provides an acceptance range with associated flag values. The MAPEP defines three levels of performance:
- Acceptable (flag = A)
- Acceptable with Warning (flag = W)
- Not Acceptable (flag = N)
Performance is considered acceptable when a mean result for the specified analyte is +/- 20% of the reference value. Performance is acceptable with warning when a mean result falls in the range from
+/-20% to +/-30% of the reference value (i.e., 20% < bias < 30%). If the bias is greater than 30%, the results are deemed not acceptable.
Note: The Department of Energy (DOE) Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP) samples are created to mimic conditions found at DOE sites which do not resemble typical environmental samples obtained at commercial nuclear power facilities.
For the TBE laboratory, 142 out of 150 analyses performed met the specified acceptance criteria. Eight analyses did not meet the specified acceptance criteria and were addressed through the TBE Corrective Action Program. A summary is found below:
21
NOTE: Two analyses (soil for Tc-99 and U-238) that did not meet acceptance criteria was performed for TBE information and is not on the list of required ICP analyses.
- 1. The Analytics March 2022 AP Ce-141 result was evaluated as Not Acceptable. The reported value for Ce-141 was 60.9 pCi and the known result was 42.0 pCi/L (1.45 ratio of reported result vs. known; TBEs internal acceptance range is 0.70 - 1.30). This sample was used as the workgroup duplicate with a result of 45.7 (109% of known) and was also counted on a different detector with a result of 50.9 (121% of known).
This was TBEs first failure for AP Ce-141. (NCR 22-04)
- 2. The MAPEP February 2022 Urine U-234 & U-238 results were evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBEs reported values of 0.142 and 0.0254 were above the known upper ranges of 0.0096 and 0.0134 respectively for U-234 and U-238. These spiked values were below TBEs typical MDC for urine client samples. The samples were re-prepped using a larger sample aliquot and counted for 60 hours6.944444e-4 days <br />0.0167 hours <br />9.920635e-5 weeks <br />2.283e-5 months <br /> as opposed to 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />. The recount results were 0.00732 for U-234 and 0.0119 for U-238 (both within acceptable range). MAPEP urine samples will be flagged to use a larger sample aliquot and counting time than typical client samples.
MAPEP did not include any urine cross-check samples in August. (NCR 22-05)
- 3. The ERA MRAD September 2022 AP Pu-238 was evaluated as Not Acceptable. The reported value was 38.8 pCi and the known result was 29.9 (acceptance range 22.6 - 36.7). The AP filter was cut in half prior to digestion (shared with Fe-55) but should have been complete digested together and aliquotted afterwards like typical client samples. This is the first failure for AP Pu-238. (NCR 22-19)
- 4. The ERA October 2022 water Uranium result was evaluated as Not Acceptable. The reported value was 10.54 pCi/L and the known was 8.53 (acceptance range 6.60 - 9.88) or 124% of the known (acceptable for TBE QC). The 2-sigma error was 3.2, placing the reported result well within the acceptable range. This sample was used as the workgroup duplicate with a result of 8.2 +/- 2.9 pCi/L (also within the acceptable range). All other QA was reviewed with no anomalies. (NCR 22-20)
- 5. The Analytics AP Co-60 result was evaluated as Not Acceptable. The reported value was 207 pCi and the known was 147 (141% of the known). TBEs internal QC acceptance is 70 - 130%. All QA was reviewed with no anomalies. This sample was used as the workgroup duplicate and counted on a different detector with a result of 167 pCi (114% of the known). This is the first failure for AP Co average result ratio compared to the known is 109%. (NCR 22-21) 22
- 6. The MAPEP August 2022 water Tc-99 result was evaluated as Not Acceptable. The reported value was 1.86 +/- 0.414 Bq/L for this false positive test. The evaluation of the submitted result to the 3 times the uncertainty indicated a slight positive. This sample was used as the workgroup duplicate with a result of 0.88 +/- 0.374 Bq/L. All QC was reviewed, and no anomalies found. This is the first unacceptable since the resumption of reporting water Tc-99 for the 3rd quarter of 2020. TBE to known ratios have ranged from 94-109% during this time.
(NCR 22-22)
For the secondary QC samples, the CGS laboratory analyzed gross beta, gramma, and I-131 for TMINS. For the CGS Laboratory, 91 out of 92 analyses performed met the specified NRC Resolution Test Criteria (NRC Inspection Manual, Inspection Procedure 84750, March 15, 1994).
Laboratory results are reported with 2-sigma uncertainty. When evaluating with the NRC Resolution Test, a 1-sigma uncertainty is used to determine Pass or Fail. Any failures are addressed through the Corrective Action Program. A summary of these failures are described below:
- 1. The ERA 2nd quarter 2022 water reported result of 35.8 pCi/L for gross beta passed on the low end of the vendor acceptance criteria but failed NRC Resolution Test Criteria. Low recovery of activity was likely due to an ineffective residue correction factor that undercompensates for the significant residue weight present in the study. This low value and a low uncertainty in turn resulted in the failure. A set of 3rd party NIST-traceable standards has been procured to build a residue correction curve for more accurate results going forward.
For the secondary QC samples, GEL laboratory only analyzed H-3 and Sr-89/90 nuclides for the TMINS REMP. Gross alpha & gamma nuclides were also analyzed for the TMINS RGPP. For these nuclides, 81 out of 82 cross-check samples met the specified acceptance criteria. Failures were addressed through GELs Corrective Action Program. A summary of these failures are described below:
- 1. The MAPEP 4th quarter vegetation reported result of 1.12 Bq/kg for Sr-90 was evaluated as Not Acceptable. The data for the Sr-90 analysis was reviewed and no anomalies were noted. The QC in the analysis batch met acceptance criteria. The lab evaluated both the prep and instrument processes for possible areas of contamination that contributed to the positive bias. A definitive source was not determined.
- 2. The ERA 4th quarter MRAD water reported result of 283 pCi/L for Sr-90 was evaluated as Not Acceptable. For this same study, the vegetation result of 4,560 pCi/kg was evaluated as Not Acceptable. The known result for the water was 224 pCi/L with an acceptance range of 161 -
277 pCi/L. The known result for the vegetation was 2,960 pCi/kg with an acceptance range of 1,670 - 3,860 pCi/kg. An investigation 23
determined that the lab met all quality control criteria specified in each method and all internal procedures and policies were performed as required. The lab will continue to monitor the recoveries of these parameters to ensure that there are no continued issues. During the same reporting period, the lab successfully passed Sr-90 water samples for MAPEP. Samples for both studies were prepared and analyzed by the same processes and procedures.
The Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program provides evidence of in control counting systems and methods, and that the laboratories are producing accurate and reliable data. Interlaboratory Comparison results may be found in Appendix E.

I. Summary and Conclusions In 2006, Constellation (formerly Exelon) instituted a comprehensive program to evaluate the impact of station operations on groundwater and surface water in the vicinity of Three Mile Island Nuclear Station. This report covers groundwater, surface water, storm water, and precipitation samples collected from the environment, both on and off station property in 2022. During that time period 341 analyses were performed on 165 samples from 58 locations.
In assessing all the data gathered for this report, it was concluded that the operation of Three Mile Island Nuclear Station had no adverse radiological impact on the environment.
Gamma-emitting radionuclides associated with licensed plant operations were not detected at concentrations greater than their respective Lower Limits of Detection (LLDs) as specified in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) in any of the storm water samples. In the case of tritium, Constellation specified that its laboratories achieve a lower limit of detection 10 times lower than that required by federal regulation.
Strontium-89 (Sr-89) and Strontium-90 (Sr-90) were not detected at a concentration greater than their respective LLD of 10 and 1 picocurie per liter (pCi/L) in the groundwater samples tested.
Tritium was not detected in any ground water, storm water or precipitation water samples at concentrations greater than the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) drinking water standard (and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Reporting Limit) of 20,000 pCi/L. Low levels of tritium were detected at concentrations greater than the LLD of 200 pCi/L in 19 of 49 groundwater monitoring locations. The groundwater tritium concentrations ranged from 181 +/-
116 pCi/L to 1,670 +/- 245 pCi/L. Tritium that was detected in groundwater at the Station is believed to be the result of previous tank leakage, historical releases, the recapture of gaseous tritium releases via rainwater, and/or background from external sources greater than 200 pCi/L. One stormwater tritium sample was detected just above the LLD at a concentration 212 +/- 135 pCi/L. Tritium was detected in 2 of 8 precipitation water locations. The concentrations ranged from 195 +/- 115 to 575 +/- 146 pCi/L.
Hard-To-Detect analyses, including Am-241, Cm-242, Cm-243/244, Pu-238, Pu-239/240, U-234, U-235, U-238, Fe-55 and Ni-63 were analyzed in 2022.
Action levels trigger monitoring requirements for these analyses. Uranium-234 and U-238 were detected in one sample at concentrations of 1.44 +/- 0.51 pCi/L and 0.73 +/- 0.37 pCi/L respectively. No other nuclides were detected.
II. Introduction The Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMINS) established a revised and more comprehensive groundwater monitoring program in 2006 as part of a Constellation Energy fleetwide assessment.
Conestoga Rovers & Associates (CRA) performed the initial assessment. CRA prepared a Hydrogeologic Investigation Report (HIR) for Constellation to determine whether groundwater at and near TMINS has been adversely impacted by any releases of radionuclides. The CRA report documents the results of the May 2006 Hydrogeologic Investigation Work Plan. CRA assessed groundwater quality at the Station and identified locations designated as Areas for Further Evaluation. The results and conclusions of this Phase 1 study were made available to state and federal regulators, as well as the public on a Constellation website for station specific reports.
As a result of the Phase 1 study, the Radiological Groundwater Protection Program (RGPP) was revised to a long term monitoring program. This report covers those analyses performed by Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) and Constellation Energy Group (CEG)/GEL Laboratories on well water, surface water, storm water, and precipitation water samples collected in 2022. TMINS groundwater movement is into the Susquehanna River which surrounds the station on all sides.
In September 2015, GHD completed an additional five-year update hydrogeologic investigation report for the Station (NEI 07-07, Hydrogeologic Investigation Report). The referenced report summarized station activities since the 2006 hydrogeologic investigation report, including changes at the Station as well as RGPP sampling activities and groundwater flow. Relevant conclusions from the report are:
- None of the AFEs identified in 2006 indicate current impacts to groundwater and are no longer considered AFEs.
- One new AFE, AFE-TMI-6-BWST, was identified based on laboratory analytical data.
- In July 2012, elevated tritium concentrations were noted for a sample collected from an electric vault west of MS-22. The source of this elevated tritium concentration was believed to be the BWST.
- Tritium is not migrating off of the Station property at concentrations greater than the USEPA Drinking Water Standard of 20,000 pCi/L.
- Gamma-emitting radionuclides associated with licensed plant operations were not detected at concentrations greater than their respective LLDs.
In December 2019, GHD completed an additional five-year update hydrogeologic investigation report for the Station (NEI 07-07, Hydrogeologic Investigation Report). The referenced report summarized station activities since the 2015 hydrogeologic investigation report, including changes at the Station as well as RGPP sampling activities and groundwater flow. Relevant conclusions from the report are:
- AFE-TMI-6-BWST, 1 BWST is retained as an Area of Further Evaluation (AFE)
This report covers those analyses performed by Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) and Gel Laboratories (subcontracted from Constellation) on samples collected in 2022.
A. Objectives of the RGPP The long-term objectives of the Radiological Groundwater Protection Program (RGPP) are as follows:
- 1. Identify suitable locations to monitor and evaluate potential impacts from station operations before significant radiological impact to the environment and potential drinking water sources.
- 2. Understand the local hydrogeologic regime in the vicinity of the station and maintain up-to-date knowledge of flow patterns on the surface and shallow subsurface.
- 3. Perform routine water sampling and radiological analysis of water from selected locations.
- 4. Notify stakeholders in a timely manner for new leaks, spills, or other detections with potential radiological significance.
- 5. Regularly assess analytical results to identify adverse trends.
- 6. Take necessary corrective actions to protect groundwater resources.
B. Implementation of the Objectives The objectives identified have been implemented at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station as discussed below:
- 1. Three Mile Island Nuclear Station continues to sample and monitor the groundwater at the station in accordance with station procedures.
Sample frequencies and locations are adjusted based on monitoring results and investigations.
- 2. The Three Mile Island Nuclear Station reports describe the local hydrogeologic regime. Periodically, the flow patterns on the surface and shallow subsurface are updated based on ongoing measurements.
- 3. Three Mile Island Nuclear Station will continue to perform routine sampling and radiological analysis of water from selected locations.
- 4. Three Mile Island Nuclear Station has implemented procedures to identify and report leaks, spills, or other detections with potential radiological significance in a timely manner.
- 5. Three Mile Island Nuclear Station staff and consulting hydrogeologist assess analytical results on an ongoing basis to identify adverse trends.
C. Program Description Sample Collection Sample locations can be found in Table A-1 and Figure A-1, Appendix A.
Groundwater, Storm Water, and Precipitation Samples of water are collected, managed, transported and analyzed in accordance with approved procedures. Groundwater, storm water and precipitation are collected. Sample locations, sample collection frequencies and analytical frequencies are controlled in accordance with approved station procedures. Contractor and/or station personnel are trained in the collection, preservation management and shipment of samples, as well as in documentation of sampling events. For split samples, collectors will periodically collect samples that are sent to CES/GEL Laboratories to confirm that TBE is producing comparable data. Analytical laboratories are subject to internal quality assurance programs, industry cross-check programs, as well as nuclear industry audits. Station personnel review and evaluate all analytical data deliverables as data are received.
Analytical data results are reviewed by both station personnel and an independent hydrogeologist for adverse trends or changes to hydrogeologic conditions.
D. Characteristics of Tritium (H-3)
Tritium (chemical symbol H-3) is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. The most common form of tritium is tritium oxide, which is also called "tritiated water." Tritiated water behaves chemically and physically like non-tritiated water in the subsurface, and therefore tritiated water will travel at the same velocity as the average groundwater velocity.
Tritium is created in the environment from naturally-occurring processes both cosmic and subterranean, as well as from anthropogenic (i.e.,
man-made) sources. Tritium is produced naturally in the upper atmosphere when cosmic rays strike air molecules. This cosmogenic tritium combines with oxygen to form tritiated water, which will then enter the hydrologic cycle. Below ground, lithogenic tritium is produced by the bombardment of natural lithium present in crystalline rocks by neutrons produced by the radioactive decay of naturally abundant uranium and thorium. Lithogenic production of tritium is usually negligible compared to other sources due to the limited abundance of lithium in rock. The lithogenic tritium is introduced directly to groundwater.
A major anthropogenic source of tritium and strontium-90 comes from the former atmospheric testing of thermonuclear weapons. Levels of tritium in precipitation increased significantly during the 1950s and early 1960s and later with additional testing, resulting in the release of significant amounts of tritium to the atmosphere. The Canadian heavy water nuclear power reactors, other commercial power reactors, nuclear research and weapons production continue to influence tritium concentrations in the environment.
The chemical properties of tritium are essentially those of ordinary hydrogen. Tritium can be taken into the body by drinking water, breathing air, eating food, or absorption through skin. Once tritium enters the body, it disperses quickly and is uniformly distributed throughout the body. Tritium is excreted primarily through urine with a clearance rate characterized by an effective biological half-life of about 14 days. Within one month or so after ingestion, all tritium is essentially cleared. Organically bound tritium (tritium that is incorporated in organic compounds) can remain in the body for a longer period.
Tritium has a radiological half-life of approximately 12.3 years. It decays spontaneously to Helium-3 (He-3). This radioactive decay releases a beta particle (low-energy electron). The radioactive decay of tritium is the source of the health risk from exposure to tritium. Tritium is one of the least dangerous radionuclides, because it emits very weak radiation and leaves the body relatively quickly. Since tritium is almost always found as water, it goes directly into soft tissues and organs. The associated dose to these tissues is generally uniform and is dependent on the water content of the specific tissue.
III. Program Description A. Sample Analysis This section describes the general analytical methodologies used by TBE and Constellation (CES)/GEL Laboratories to analyze the environmental samples for radioactivity for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station RGPP in 2022.
In order to achieve the stated objectives, the current program includes the following analyses, as applicable:
- 1. Concentrations of gamma-emitters in groundwater and storm water
- 2. Concentrations of strontium in groundwater
- 3. Concentrations of tritium in groundwater, precipitation water and storm water
- 4. Concentrations of Am-241 in groundwater
- 5. Concentrations of Cm-242 and Cm-243/244 in groundwater
- 6. Concentrations of Pu-238 and PU-239/240 in groundwater
- 8. Concentrations of Fe-55 in groundwater
- 9. Concentrations of Ni-63 in groundwater B. Data Interpretation
- 1. Lower Limit of Detection and Minimum Detectable Concentration The lower limit of detection (LLD) is specified by federal regulation as a minimum sensitivity value that must be achieved routinely by the analytical parameter.
- 2. Laboratory Measurements Uncertainty The estimated uncertainty in measurement of tritium in environmental samples is frequently on the order of 50% of the measurement value.
Statistically, the exact value of a measurement is expressed as a range with a stated level of confidence. The convention is to report results with a 95% level of confidence. The uncertainty comes from calibration standards, sample volume or weight measurements, sampling uncertainty and other factors. Constellation reports the uncertainty of a measurement created by statistical process (counting error).
Analytical uncertainties are reported at the 95% confidence level in this report for reporting consistency with the AREOR.
Gamma spectroscopy results for each type of sample were grouped as follows:
For groundwater and storm water 13 nuclides, Be-7, K-40, Mn-54, Co-58, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65, Nb-95, Zr-95, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ba-140 and La-140 were reported.
The radioanalytical laboratory counts tritium results to an LLD of 200 pCi/L. Typically, the lowest positive measurement will be reported within a range of 40 - 240 pCi/L or 140 +/- 100 pCi/L. Clearly, these sample results cannot be distinguished as different from background at this concentration.
